00:00A sold-out Dignity Health Arena just jumped to their feet.
00:13I need sleeping, the demons in your dreams.
00:20I need sleeping.
00:22The two-time Women's World Champion.
00:28Rhea Ripley is here.
00:38Two and a half weeks ago, Wade earning her way to Money in the Bank.
00:43Yeah, and there's a lot of star power in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match
00:48tomorrow, but for me, and probably the majority of our fans,
00:53this woman, Rhea Bloody Ripley has to be the on top favorite to scale that ladder,
01:01grab the contract, and perhaps one day cash in and end tippy time.
01:10The star power in Bakersfield tonight is something special.
01:23Money in the Bank just two hours down the road tomorrow, and with that,
01:27everybody has come to Friday Night SmackDown.
01:40You know, Tiffy, I've never actually been a part of the Money in the Bank match before,
02:00because the fact is, I never had to.
02:05So I don't know what it feels like to win that contract like you do,
02:13but I do know what it feels like to be a champion.
02:19And I miss that feeling.
02:42The following contest is a six-woman tag team.
03:11A seven-woman tag team match scheduled for one fall.
03:16Introducing first, from San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie McKay!
03:27Speaking of somebody who knows what it feels like to be a champion,
03:31this is Raw's big recent signing.
03:34The first woman in NXT history to hold both NXT singles titles at the same time.
03:43What an evasion for the doll!
03:46Rachel, oh my God!
03:47Good job!
03:48It just gets better and better, Wade!
03:49And her tag team partner, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss!
04:11Another woman headed to Money in the Bank, the five-time world champion,
04:21the mysterious and perplexing Alexa Bliss.
04:26And this match on Friday SmackDown, presented by Twisted Tea, Hard Ice Tea.
04:31Keep it twisted.
04:32Please drink responsibly.
04:33And their opponents, introducing first, from Orlando, Florida, Naomi!
04:51Enter 2025's most volatile and unpredictable woman.
04:58Yes, proceed with caution.
05:01Naomi has grand designs tomorrow night on grabbing that briefcase,
05:07scaling to the top of the ladder, and taking her career back to the very top.
05:13Yeah, Wade, I think she survived in advance, arguably the most heated of the triple threat qualifiers,
05:18with Jade and Nia.
05:19Yeah, that was the match of death.
05:22Three absolute monsters competing, and it was Naomi who was victorious.
05:30And her tag team partner, from Laredo, Texas, Roxanne Perez!
05:40Few superstars that have made more of an instant impact in 2025 than a prodigy.
05:45Perez, the record-setter, the Iron Woman from the Royal Rumble,
05:49ingratiating herself with Judgment Day, and ready for another major step
05:54in what has been a sensationally emerging career.
06:02Ingratiating herself to the Judgment Day, much to the annoyance of Lev Morgan, it would seem.
06:08Well, Liv was once in that position, wasn't she?
06:12Friday Night SmackDown is presented by Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea.
06:17Keep it twisted. Please drink responsibly.
06:20And their tag team partner, from Tokyo, Japan,
06:25Julia!
06:37And their tag team partner from Tokyo, Japan, Julia!
06:46Tokyo, Japan, Julia!
06:54I was on Julia earlier, getting involved with the Zelina Vega, Piper Niven, Bakersfield Brawl.
07:02Made it quite clear earlier tonight, she has designs on the Women's United States Championship held by Zelina Vega.
07:11And of course, should Julia grab the briefcase tomorrow, could potentially cash in on Zelina Vega.
07:18All championships on all brands opt for grabs.
07:26Julia looking to go places in a hurry, dominated in her short time on NXT, and looking to continue that trend here on the blue brand.
07:41Participants in tomorrow's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
07:47From a rivalries aside for one night at least, enemies tomorrow, but tonight, at least two of tomorrow's opponents have to be your friend.
07:56And this match, this six-woman tag-team match, presented by Twisted Tea, Hard Ice Tea.
08:06Keep it twisted, please drink responsibly.
08:09Julia and Stephanie Vaquer to get us started.
08:12Two of the big new signings on the WWE Umbrella, both did major things on NXT, becoming the NXT Women's Champion.
08:23Of course, Vaquer actually dethroned Julia.
08:26Some major beef between these two.
08:28And then Vaquer was dethroned herself in what was a shocking upset on NXT.
08:34The NXT Women's title now in the hands of J.C. Kane.
08:36And you can listen, you can watch that broadcast with Joseph and the guys, you can hear it in their voice.
08:42Very hard-earned by J.C. Kane, who I think is going to be a fantastic champ on NXT, just like these two were.
08:52They just know each other very well.
08:55Needing skill and athleticism right in the center of the ring to get this six-woman tag-team match.
09:00Oh, here we go!
09:01On their way!
09:01Here we go!
09:02And somewhere, you can almost hear Booker T getting excited.
09:07Well, he got denied.
09:10As it is countered by Julia.
09:14Vaquer apparently going for that devil's kiss, that hypnotic move of hers.
09:19Julia knows it too well and wanted no part of it.
09:24Stefan Vance, what's your story?
09:26Special guest is Chris Angel this week.
09:28That is available wherever you get your podcasts.
09:30Fascinating conversation between Stephanie McMahon and Chris Angel.
09:35How cutthroat is Naomi these times?
09:38Ever since throwing Jay Cargill for a car windshield several months ago.
09:48So resourceful.
09:50Wait a second, Jotas.
09:51Could it be?
09:52Nope.
09:53Denied again.
09:53Everybody enters the ring as Devil's Kiss was lined up.
09:57It ain't over yet, Jotas.
09:59Vaquer puts her in position and delivers Wade.
10:02No comment.
10:08I don't want to get in any trouble tonight.
10:11La Primera.
10:12The Dark Angel.
10:14Devil's Kiss here on SmackDown.
10:16Move that has taken the world by storm.
10:22Stephanie Vaquer showing out this evening in the early goings.
10:28Chase down Naomi.
10:31Such focus from Vaquer.
10:33For a huge weekend, it is for her.
10:38And I'd argue Stephanie Vaquer is doing too much in this match.
10:41She's already dominated the early goings.
10:43Not tagged anyone else.
10:44And again, there's Jotas.
10:46Vaquer competing tonight.
10:48She's competing at Worlds Collide tomorrow in a tag alongside Lola Vice from NXT.
10:53And then, straight after that, she competes in the Williams-Money in the back ladder match.
10:58That is too much competition.
11:00Three matches in 24 hours.
11:02That is a suicide mission by Vaquer and she's about to pay the price.
11:07Ref distracted there.
11:09As you see, Roxanne Perez now driving her feet and her boot right in there.
11:15That Worlds Collide gets underway at 3 p.m. Eastern, noon Pacific.
11:19That's available live on YouTube.
11:20Vaquer and Mola Vice teaming up against Chick Tormenta in Dallas.
11:24Hooks the leg.
11:25Vaquer quick to kick out.
11:27How about Roxanne Perez tagging up with Julia tonight?
11:30It was Julia who dethroned Roxanne Perez in NXT.
11:34Not only that, they had an incredibly short-lived tag run together on Raw.
11:40Lasted about three weeks and then Julia was apparently sick to death of Roxanne Perez
11:46and wanted no more to do with it until right now.
11:49All the unique complexities when you get these six together.
11:53Tomorrow they'll be trying to reach for the heavens and get that Money in the Bank contract in the briefcase.
11:59Six massively different personalities all with two things in common.
12:04A, they are all world class.
12:06And B, they all have massive, massive goals which includes winning the Money in the Bank ladder match.
12:13You mentioned the different personalities but I don't know that there's any like what we've seen of Naomi lately.
12:18And here comes Alexa Bliss.
12:21Naomi is completely demented at the moment but has proved highly dangerous.
12:26But neutralizing that danger immediately is the astoundingly good Alexa Bliss.
12:35Alexa Bliss, the past Money in the Bank winner.
12:38She's looking to reclaim that past glory.
12:45Outstanding return to action for Bliss.
12:48A couple of surprise returns already this year from Alexa Bliss.
12:53Hasn't spoken too loudly about goals but clearly getting back.
12:56A championship picture is part of it from this place.
13:01Off the apron and then Perez turns her right into the steel steps.
13:06Six woman tag team action.
13:11Mom, look what I can do.
13:13No mom, look what I can do.
13:16Ta-da.
13:17Toasted roast beef and cheddar from Jimmy John's.
13:19Warm French bread, melty cheese.
13:20Speaking of toasted.
13:22Hey pal, looking crispy.
13:24Toasted sandwiches at Jimmy John's.
13:25Oh, that's good.
13:26The first time you try Bounce, it hits you.
13:28Your laundry feels way fresher, softer.
13:30So you start to wonder.
13:32If I put a sheet of Bounce on the finance guy, will it make him softer?
13:37Bounce can't do it all.
13:38But for better laundry.
13:39Put a sheet on it with Bounce.

13:45When I premium wireless for $15 a month, I think,

13:51Who am I kidding?
13:52Premium wireless for $15 a month will always premium wireless for $15 a month.
13:56And sometimes, premium wireless for $15 a month every time.
14:02No points for subtlety, right?
14:03Let's be honest.
14:04Premium wireless for $15 a month, am I right?

14:11Big news.

14:23and I don't have to stop.

14:54Your perfect clean starts with Oral-B.

15:01Now it's not.
15:02Now it is.
15:03Now it's not.

15:06Now it is.

15:10And everything a little brighter.
15:12My Zen garden wasn't comforting enough,
15:14so I added peanut butter M&M's.
15:15So creamy.
15:17And comforting.
15:19Hey, leave my Zen garden alone!
15:21Well, that's not very Zen of you.
15:23I'm a work in progress.
15:25Peanut butter M&M's!

15:43What's SimpliSafe got that I don't?
15:4524-7 monitoring to help stop crime in real time.
15:50Stop.
15:50This is SimpliSafe.
15:51Maybe SimpliSafe and I could work together.
15:54Unlikely.
15:54There's no safe like SimpliSafe.

16:16She's a murder victim who's alive.
16:18Whatever makes them different
16:21could be the key to everything.
16:23Revival.
16:24Series premiere Thursday at 10 on SyFy.
16:26Naomi, Roxanne, Perez, and Julia
16:32are getting the best of Alexa Bliss right now
16:34in the midst of a six-woman tag team match
16:36the night before Money in the Bank
16:37when all six of these women
16:40will be down the road in L.A.
16:42competing for the briefcase.
16:43And for Bliss,
16:44it'll be her fourth Money in the Bank ladder match
16:46of her career,
16:47having previously been a winner.
16:48I'll tell you right now,
16:50her hopes of winning tomorrow night
16:51are fading by the second.
16:53I agree, Wade.
16:54Thanks to this volley of abuse,
16:56Alexa Bliss is being forced to have saw,
16:58but there we go.
16:59Just getting out of the way.
17:00Drop to the wall,
17:01into the buckle.
17:02Naomi eats it,
17:03and can Bliss get a tag?
17:05How smart was that by Naomi?
17:08Naomi eliminating one of the options.
17:11She is desperate to reach
17:13that outstretched arm of Rhea Ripley,
17:16and perhaps with the DDT,
17:18there's an opportunity
17:19to do just that.
17:22This place is about to come on through!
17:25Here she is!
17:29Rhea Ripley!
17:35Roxanne and Julia are finding out.
17:39Ball-away slams!
17:40She tossed her halfway across the ring.
17:42The most dominant woman
17:45in WWE history,
17:49living up to her reputation.
17:51Nowhere to run,
17:52nowhere to hide.
17:53Rhea Ripley!
17:54Rhea Ripley!
17:55Rhea Ripley!
17:56Rhea Ripley!
17:56Rhea Ripley!
17:57Rhea Ripley!
17:57Rhea Ripley!
17:58Rhea Ripley!
17:58Rhea Ripley!
18:01Brilliant technique.
18:02And look at Rhea Ripley,
18:03give Roxanne that look and say,
18:05not now,
18:07not here.
18:08Technique simply doesn't work
18:09against someone as powerful as Mammy.
18:12Razor's edge.
18:17And coming in strong.
18:20Looking to close it out.
18:22And Naomi breaks it up.
18:24I mean, you're looking for the winner.
18:25You want to be the one
18:26who scores the ping for your team.
18:28Build that momentum,
18:29put the fear into tomorrow night's opponents.
18:32Wait up.
18:34Alexa Bliss!
18:37Sister Abigail DDT on Julia.
18:42Keep your eyes peeled.
18:43There are too many fresh women
18:45waiting to take you down.
18:48She was looking for Riptide,
18:53but instead countered by Roxanne Perez.
18:57Perez is so, so resourceful,
19:00just like that.
19:01It seemed like it was going to be
19:03game over for Roxanne.
19:05Pulled something out of the back.
19:07And it's dropped.
19:09Great.
19:10Rhea Ripley!
19:13Eyes, as Rhea tries to gather herself.
19:17Both women down.
19:19As this sold-out dignity health arena
19:23in Bakersfield is chanting,
19:25this is awesome.
19:26And if you think it is here tonight,
19:29wait until Money in the Bank
19:30and the ladder match between these six.
19:32You put these six in a ring at the same time,
19:35there's only one conclusion possible.
19:38Whoa!
19:38And that is awesome.
19:39Wait up.
19:40Naomi wouldn't accept the tag.
19:43Roxanne Perez is in trouble,
19:45and Naomi said,
19:46that's your problem.
19:48And now Bliss,
19:50and Vakair,
19:52and Rhea.
19:53Left to the Wolves.
19:56Rip tied!
19:58Naomi left her alone,
20:00and that's the result!
20:04Here are your winners,
20:08Stephanie Vakair,
20:10Alexa Bliss,
20:13and Rhea Ripley!
20:15They're gonna have the money in the bank.
20:20Naomi abandons her, Wade.
20:22Small move by Naomi,
20:24if you ask me,
20:25could have tagged in.
20:26Naomi opted in it,
20:28put herself in danger.
20:30Let one of your opponents tomorrow night
20:32take all the abuse,
20:34get her softened up.
20:36Mami gets the victory.
20:38There is no honor
20:40among money in the bank participants.
20:43Not tonight,
20:45and certainly not tomorrow night.
20:48Streaming on Peacock tomorrow,
20:507 Eastern,
20:514 Pacific,
20:52from Intuit Dome,
20:53just down the road in L.A.,
20:55and what a show they put on
20:57here tonight on SmackDown.
20:59Tomorrow's gonna be special
21:01as they look up
21:03and see the three-case.
21:05That is what they are going after.
21:07Well, teammates moments ago,
21:08these three now
21:09eyeing each other warily.
21:12The game has changed.
