00:00Smallest acts that mean the most.
00:03It's these moments together that show us what is truly important.
00:11Away from the bright lights is where we make the biggest difference.
00:16The champ is here.
00:17The champ is here right now.
00:20Because to us,
00:22smiles matter most.
00:30This was my best day ever.
00:43The following is a fatal five-way elimination match
00:47for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
00:51In this match, there are no disqualifications, no countouts,
00:55and the only way to eliminate an opponent is by pinfall or submission.
00:58The last woman remaining will be declared the SmackDown Women's Champion.
01:06And it's boss time.
01:11Introducing the challengers, first from Boston, Massachusetts,
01:15Sasha Banks.
01:20And the big question coming into this matchup, John,
01:22is where does Sasha's allegiance lie since her best friend Bailey's the champion?
01:27I think I can tell you where Sasha's allegiance lies.
01:30It lies with Sasha.
01:33Exactly where it should.
01:35Sasha Banks, a multi-time women's champion,
01:37I'm sure would love to have the gold back around her waist.
01:41She can do it tonight at WrestleMania.
01:43Funny how friendships and partnerships dissolve when championships are on the line.
01:49Sasha's had so many great WrestleMania moments over the years,
01:52would like to add to her resume tonight.
01:54She's a legit boss, but y'all knew that.
01:58The big boss don't, yeah.
02:06Next, the sassy Southern Belle, Lacey Evans.
02:12Lacey Evans, who's had quite the rivalry,
02:15not only with Sasha Banks, but with the women's champion,
02:18Bailey, over the past number of months,
02:20takes exception to the fact that Sasha and Bailey call themselves role models.
02:26Lacey says that she's striving to be a role model for young women around the world.
02:32You want to be a role model?
02:33Win championships.
02:34That's how you become a role model.
02:35From the Pacific Islands,
02:47Tamina!
02:49The ring begins to fill up with superstars for the,
02:53to battle it out tonight in this fatal five-way elimination match
02:56for the SmackDown women's titles.
03:00And John, I said this on SmackDown,
03:01I believe Tamina is the wild card in this match.
03:05We've gone all along.
03:06Tamina has everything to be a world champion.
03:08And tonight could be that night.
03:10What better night than WrestleMania?
03:11WrestleMania.
03:11Bring it to the floor.
03:30From Orlando, Florida,
03:32De'Gomey!
03:34A former multi-time women's champion in her own right
03:39and has had some great match-ups here over the years in WrestleMania
03:43and would love to steal the spotlight here tonight.
03:48So much for the home court advantage, though.
03:53From right here in Orlando.
03:55And for Naomi,
03:56this could culminate what has been a long journey back.
03:59A former champion here at WWE.
04:03Naomi has her sights set on winning SmackDown gold once again.
04:08WrestleMania been a very successful show for her over the years.
04:18And from San Jose, California,
04:21she is the SmackDown women's champion,
04:25Bayley!
04:26You know, John, in my estimation,
04:29Bayley is perhaps one of the most underrated superstars in history.
04:35Of course, Sasha and Bayley are best friends.
04:37You have to see where Sasha's allegiance lies in this match tonight.
04:42But if you look at what Bayley has accomplished in her career thus far,
04:45her current reign in about 175 days,
04:48she's held the SmackDown women's title on two different occasions
04:51over 300 days in her career.
04:53Well, her record itself says she should be considered with the greats of all time.
04:58She didn't hold a title that many days without being great.
05:02She is a five-time women's champion.
05:05She's the only woman in history to hold the Raw SmackDown in NXT women's championships.
05:11She was an inaugural tag team champion with her friend in the background there,
05:14Sasha Banks.
05:15She won Money in the Bank and cashed in on the same night last May.
05:20And she was the first woman to defend a championship in Saudi Arabia,
05:25which she retained against Naomi back at Super Showdown in February.
05:30That's a role model to me.
05:34You want to tell kids out there, you work hard, you do whatever you have to do,
05:37you cheat, you do whatever you can, and you become champion.
05:40That's a role model.
05:41So, again, the rules in this matchup are as follows.
05:45There are no disqualifications or countouts, only pinfalls or submissions.
05:50Once you suffer one of those, you are eliminated.
05:52You must head back to the locker room and then break down into a...
