00:00You got it girl in the mouth. All the girls with their braids the other day. I know. That makes me. I know it's so many of them at the meet and greet. I was at the meet and greet and I looked up it was just a group of six little girls with the braids.
00:28My government name is Bianca Nicole Blair Crawford and in WWE my name is Bianca Belair.
00:35Now Bianca Belair, the EST.
00:41I call myself the EST of WWE which means I'm the strongest, I'm the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best. So basically anything good that ends in EST, that's what I am. I'm just the best at what I do.
00:55A signature part of my character is this long braid that I wear. It goes all the way to the ground and I started wearing this braid because when I first got into this business all these girls they were wearing their hair down, it was flowy, it was pretty.
01:10And I wore this braid one time and my husband was like you got to keep the braid because nobody else is doing it. And he said if anybody comes to a WWE show for the first time they'll remember the girl with the braid.
01:25It's one thing that's very innovative and I get to use it as a weapon.
01:34They think that we put some special like sound effects to it. No.
01:40It makes a huge loud noise and it leaves a mark. So it's real.
01:49WWE superstars, they want to see how far they can go, how far they can push, how much they can challenge themselves.
02:10The human body is not supposed to endure them.
02:15There's something special about our business and it's so hard to make it to the top no matter what gender you are.
02:22But our women, you can't not watch them.
02:25The women in WWE have become an integral part of what we do. 40% of our audience is female.
02:44So as you begin to navigate the road to WrestleMania, you're trying to approach it with them in the same manner that you approach it with the guys.
02:53You're trying to approach the storytelling in the same manner.
02:57There's only so much real estate within each show to feature something, make this the most important thing, make that the most important thing.
03:04It's not easy to do and it's ever changing.
03:14I'm such a type A person. I plan, plan, plan.
03:17And yet with wrestling, you just can't. You have to live like day to day, week to week.
03:23I won't.
03:25You don't always get what you want. You don't always get what you deserve.
03:29You get what you get when it's given to you and you just take it and you have to run with it.
03:34But it's fucking annoying.
03:35My name is Chelsea Green and I have gone by Jada, Laurel Van Ness, Reclusa, Victorious, and now I go by my real name, Chelsea Green.
03:49It's Chelsea Green.
03:53So I started wrestling in January of 2014.
03:57I always wanted to be a diva.
04:02I think it represents everything that I loved about WWE, the beauty and the sparkles.
04:09Are you ready for the shit show that is gear? Because we've got some of it, some of it right here.
04:18I take pride in never wearing a set of gear twice.
04:22This is probably 30 sets of gear in here, ranging from $600 to $1,500.
04:31And I know that's, that's a whole nother problem.
04:33I found someone who specifically makes these hats.
04:37And then the skirts, I, I, I just, I just love the skirts.
04:42I think the skirts give me like a fun girly quality.
04:46Chelsea Green is an entertainment goddess.
04:49I would say my character is a Karen.
04:54Who was that?
04:56I wasn't even ready.
04:58What's the match?
05:00I didn't agree to this.
05:01I think my role is to provide entertainment.
05:07And that is in the form of comedic relief.
05:14And selling for the girls.
05:17Selling is the art of taking someone's move.
05:23It's the way that you take that move and you make it look brutal.
05:28Chelsea Green face to face, top of the ladder, high above the leg.
05:33Chelsea Green to the damn tables.
05:37For someone to win, somebody else has to lose.
05:39Guess what?
05:40I'll be the loser if that means being booked every day.
05:43Chelsea Green!
05:44You want me to pour salsa and cake on my head? Say less.
05:56Oh man, this is a tragedy for Chelsea.
05:59We're getting paid a lot of money to look like assholes. I'm okay with that.
06:08It's not fair.
06:10But you know what? We're rich and we're sparkly and everybody loves us.
06:15As much as I talk about, you know, winning doesn't matter.
06:18Obviously, of course, as a wrestler, we have goals.
06:22We set timelines for ourselves.
06:24And, of course, one of the goals is always to be a WWE champion.
06:28Obviously, as a female in wrestling, I have thought about what it would look like to be in a WrestleMania or win a championship.
06:35So, I have the perfect outfit set aside that I have been dreaming about wearing.
06:44We've got my face.
06:47My face on everything.
06:50If you didn't think I was obnoxious before, you will after you see that.
06:56This weekend, I am going to my hometown.
07:00I'm going back to Vancouver.
07:01I'm from an island off the coast of Vancouver, but I'm going to Vancouver.
07:05We are going to do a huge live event in Vancouver.
07:09I have invited all my friends, all my family.
07:12But I'm still trying to get booked.
07:15So, that's...
07:17That is the tricky thing about wrestling.
07:21It is the frickin' crack of dawn.
07:31Everyone is on their way to Survivor Series, and I am not.
07:35I just, like, kept hoping that someone would call me and tell me I was on.
07:39But the funny thing about wrestling is nobody tells you when you're not on.
07:44So, you just kind of have to figure it out yourself.
07:47Shit you not.
07:49I bought 15 tickets.
07:52I have all my friends and family coming.
07:54Every fucking bridesmaid's coming.
07:56And so far, in the past three days, I've had to awkwardly rip the band-aid off to my friends and family that I'm not on the show.
08:03Yeah.
08:07That is...
08:09Upsetting, equal parts frustrating.
08:14Um...
08:16But...
08:17Also...
08:18That's show business, baby.
08:20That's my little sis.
08:23It's Butter!
08:25Look at you! You're gonna be...
08:28You love your auntie?
08:29Yes.
08:31Here's the great thing about being in Canada.
08:34I get to see my friends and my family.
08:36I get to stay with my sister.
08:38And...
08:40It kind of just takes the pain and the sting away from not being booked.
08:45My whole career, I feel like this is exactly what happens to me every time I get a little nugget of hope.
08:53Something happens.
08:542019.
08:58My debut and I broke my arm.
09:03One, two, three.
09:07And that slowed me down.
09:09When I finally came back I thought, you know, that this was the beginning of the rest of my life.
09:13The rest of my life, I broke my arm again.
09:16For the second time.
09:17On live television.
09:20And...
09:21I got released.
09:23One day in 2022, I texted Triple H and I asked for my job back.
09:29And he gave it to me.
09:30I mean, that's the guy, right?
09:32Like...
09:33He...
09:34Decides our fate.
09:36Sorry, he's scared.
09:41Good luck.
09:42Good luck.
09:43Good luck.
09:44I'm going up to watch in the box.
09:45Good luck.
09:46Happy birthday, baby.
09:47Good luck.
09:50Good luck.
09:51It's really, like, strange for someone like me who likes to control everything.
09:56Because I can't.
09:58And that's the weird thing about wrestling is it's not a sport.
10:05You don't just score more goals and become the captain and win a championship.
10:11Like, that's not how it works.
10:12Rhea, from the top rope!
10:15Rhea!
10:16Ripped high for that title!
10:20Cover by Ripley!
10:22Rhea has been a world champion!
10:26Rhea wins!
10:27I hope that the creative team deems me worthy of a championship.
10:31But I can control my attitude.
10:33I can control what I look like.
10:35And, you know, I can control...
10:42I mean...
10:45It's really it, isn't it?
10:51She's worked so hard.
10:54She's really worked from the bottom up.
10:58Our fans were demanding for a long time for our women to have more titles.
11:02And I was so excited for Chelsea to fight for.
11:07The first ever female United States Championship.
11:19So, Chelsea's one of the characters in the show that you can have to do just about anything.
11:24Tonight, she gets an opportunity to be a bit more serious.
11:27And as we make history and debut sort of what many people would call like the secondary title in the women's division.
11:34We give them something else to fight for.
11:36Just like the men.
11:37They have the world titles.
11:38They have the U.S. titles.
11:39They have the intercontinental titles, right?
11:40It's a stepping stone.
11:42This is a moment for her to step to another run.
11:45Oh, are you coming over here to kiss my ass now because you want me to say good things about you tonight?
11:50No, I wasn't actually.
11:51I was coming to find out if I'm winning or losing.
11:54Oh.
11:56Why? Did you hear something?
11:58You know, I say yes to everything.
12:00I will never, ever, ever say no.
12:03And because of that is why I am in the running to become your next United States Women's Champion.
12:09Can you explain, in theory, the layout of the match?
12:12Bell rings, what do you envision?
12:15Well, the bell rings and I imagine me immediately cutting her off, even if it's like a bitch slap and tossing her out.
12:22Wait, I'm pitting with a leg drop?
12:25We went back and forth talking about the leg drop and if we were going to still put that in.
12:31Yeah.
12:33She dropped kicks fucking, um, she dropped kicks.
12:35What?
12:37Have you ever heard of Hulk Hogan? I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
12:39No, I've never done a leg drop. I've never done a leg drop.
12:41We asked you could you do a while ago.
12:43I know, but I thought it was because it was in the middle of the match.
12:46I dropped kicks.
12:48This is going to be good.
12:50Like, I'll do it.
12:52I know, but it's like, I've never jumped off the rope like that.
12:57Like, see, oh my God, yeah, I fucking peed myself.
13:01Why not the finish?
13:03Why not and I'm prettier?
13:04I'm not one to argue about finishes or what creative wants from me. I just do it.
13:14But every now and then there's a moment that I need to fight for.
13:18And the leg drop? That was never going to happen.
13:20I'm not going to lie. I'm feeling some type of way about it not being my finish.
13:24It feels so weird.
13:26All right.
13:27It feels so weird that it's not my finish.
13:30Because I never win.
13:32A finishing move is so personal.
13:35It's us. It's a part of the history of me as a wrestler.
13:39And now Chelsea Green, I'm prettier!
13:42I've called it the unprettier, I'm prettier, and the unpretty-her.
13:49So to then have this moment that's going to go down in history.
13:54What? How could I use someone else's moves? Not mine!
13:58How are you?
13:59Hi.
14:00You okay?
14:01I'm nervous.
14:02Yeah, you should be, right?
14:03Yeah.
14:04I'm panicking.
14:05How much time do you guys have?
14:07Like six.
14:08See? Don't be nervous, son.
14:10Okay.
14:12Good luck.
14:13Thanks.
14:14You've said it?
14:16I did great.
14:18Oh, I can't wait.
14:24With this outfit, are you kidding?
14:26I know.
14:27Like, are you kidding?
14:28It's the outfit.
14:30It's the outfit.
14:31Thank you!
14:33It's so good.
14:34You can't get any better than this.
14:35Winning in this outfit?
14:37I mean...
14:38She's about to walk on into the history books.
14:43Hey, both of you fucking deserve this moment.
14:46Go fucking kill it.
14:48We will.
14:49Remember this for the rest of your life.
14:51We fucking will.
14:52I'm gonna remember that for the rest of my life.
14:53Are you saying something nice?
14:54I'm not.
14:55I'm not.
14:56I'm not.
14:57The following is the finals of the inaugural Women's United States Championship Tournament!
15:05Yeah!
15:08Let's go!
15:09Introducing first...
15:13From Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, it's Chelsea Green!
15:20Oh, my goodness.
15:21Are you seeing this?
15:22Chelsea Green's ring gear are pictures of herself!
15:25Brilliant.
15:26Absolutely brilliant from Chelsea Green.
15:27And here comes Mention, who had knocked on Chelsea Green back in October in the infamous dumpster match.
15:41Oh!
15:42So excited!
15:43Yes!
15:44Ah!
15:45What's up?
15:46I'm out.
15:47You feel the same?
15:49It is all about being crowned the very first Women's United States Champion.
15:55So, here we go.
15:56Green went for the big kick out of the box.
15:57Beechin misses as well.
15:58Think about the history here that's on the line.
16:00The first ever Women's United States Champion.
16:04Oh, the Rook Rider!
16:05Connecting!
16:06For the win!
16:07And the title!
16:08And a kick out by Mention!
16:10What?
16:11Chelsea thought she had it?
16:12Mention says, I don't think so.
16:14Let's go, Chelsea!
16:17And now Green.
16:18Oh, no!
16:20Thank goodness Parker Niven was there.
16:22That would have been an absolute disaster for Chelsea.
16:26And now Mention takes out both!
16:29And lands right in front of what could be her title.
16:32Can she get Chelsea in the ring?
16:34Oh, my God.
16:35Chelsea Green may be down and out.
16:36Cover now by Mention.
16:37Green able to barely get her long leg on the bottom rope.
16:42Long Island's behind Chelsea Green.
16:44Chelsea!
16:45Chelsea!
16:46Chelsea!
16:47Chelsea!
16:48Chelsea!
16:49Chelsea!
16:50Chelsea!
16:51Chelsea!
16:52Oh, my goodness!
16:53What a move!
16:54In the Unprettier!
16:55What a cover by Green!
16:56Always going to use the Unprettier.
17:01To think that we would do anything other than use my finisher.
17:05One, two, three!
17:09Green wins the title!
17:12Here's your winner at the inaugural!
17:16I'm so happy for you too.
17:17I'm so happy for you too.
17:18I'm so happy for you too.
17:19I'm so happy for you too.
17:20I'm so happy for you too.
17:21Oh, yeah.
17:22And Chelsea Green!
17:25Chelsea Green makes history as the first ever Women's United States Champion!
17:36Woo!
17:37That was good!
17:38Yeah, I haven't even caught my breath yet.
17:48I just...
17:49I don't know.
17:50I think tomorrow I'll wake up and it'll hit me, but right now it hasn't.
17:55Thank you!
17:56No crying!
17:57Fuck!
17:58Why make Chelsea Green the US Champion in this moment?
18:04There's an old Maya Angelou saying,
18:07People don't remember what you say.
18:09They don't remember the things you do.
18:11They remember how you make them feel.
18:14Whatever we're doing with her right now,
18:17and whatever she's doing on screen to deliver it,
18:20is starting to captivate people and they're starting to get behind her.
18:23When you find somebody that kind of gets that feel,
18:27it's the right time.
18:33Thank you so much.
18:34I'm so happy to be here.
18:36I really appreciate it.
18:37Thank you for trusting me.
18:40Learn it.
18:42Side place! Side place!
18:45Got them?
18:46Yes!
18:48My nose, yes.
18:49You got them?
18:50What do you got for me?
18:52Oh, they're cute!
18:54It says my name!
18:57It says my name!
19:00Before this moment,
19:02I haven't really been, like, that excited about moments in my career.
19:09It was truly, I felt like it was 11 years built up to that moment,
19:17and all those people in that arena knew all the shit I've gone through to get there.
19:21The tryouts, the broken bones, you know, the releases, all of it.
19:27They all know that, and they were like, this is her moment, and we are here for nobody else but her.
19:35That was just like, if I was emotional, I would have cried, but I'm not a crier.
19:40You've never hurt this knee before, right?
19:49No.
19:52All right, what questions you got?
19:54You don't think there's anything more?
19:56I'm just careful.
19:58Nothing to do with the MCL.
20:00You've already healed that.
20:01You've already healed that.
20:02Okay.
20:03You've turned this from a two-ligament problem to a one-ligament problem.
20:07That was the benefit of weaving.
20:09Remember, we talked right after the injury and said, we need to give this a couple weeks,
20:13and we're having a hard time bending it.
20:15That was the MCL.
20:16Oh, I got it, yeah.
20:17And now your MCL's fine.
20:18We don't have to touch that.
20:21My government name is Ashley Elizabeth Fleer.
20:25My parents call me Winky.
20:28They have my whole life.
20:30I go by Charlotte Flair in WWE, a.k.a. The Queen.
20:34One of the greatest, if not the greatest, women's wrestler of all time.
20:38I think when you think of wrestling, you think flair.
20:41You're talking to the Rolex.
20:44Wearing.
20:45Diamond ring.
20:46Wearing.
20:47Kiss stealing.
20:48Woo!
20:49Wheel and dealing.
20:50Limousine riding.
20:51Jet flying.
20:52Son of a gun.
20:53Woo!
20:54Yeah, I love what I did to my toe.
20:57Oh, my God.
20:59Does it hurt?
21:00Don't.
21:01Yes.
21:02She couldn't walk.
21:03She's like, my toe hurts worse than my knee.
21:05It does.
21:06What's so special about my dad is he has transcended wrestling.
21:10Woo!
21:11Wears playing with him like a child with silly putty.
21:15Growing up, I was just a huge fan of my dad.
21:18He'd take me to the shows.
21:19What are your thoughts on becoming a diva?
21:21Um, it's definitely crossed my mind.
21:26I would like to finish school first.
21:29And I hope the opportunity is still there when I'm done.
21:32And my brother, Reed, was like, yeah, you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this.
21:36Like, we can do it together.
21:38I was trying to help my little brother get on his feet.
21:43He'd been battling a really severe drug addiction.
21:47It was just like a collective effort that Reed and I were going to end up together.
21:52And this was gonna help him get on his path.
21:55But almost a year into my developmental system, he died.
22:01When he died, I just, I don't know, I just took everything that he wanted to be and he gave me this.
22:16Oh, this is how you make an entrance.
22:23I think when it happened, I put his death in a drawer and closed it.
22:27So I haven't even, like, ever...
22:30I guess, like, I'm still waiting for him to come home.
22:34Charlotte's put so much pressure on herself, asked to perform at her best.
22:38There's... I don't know.
22:41How do I say this?
22:45Like, the expectation of Charlotte is so big that it, like, even makes me nervous.
22:51Being Ric Flair's daughter, you really can't make any mistakes.
22:54I knew that I was athletic.
22:57That has been something that I've been able to lean on since day one.
23:01This could be the greatest athlete we've ever had as a WWE Women's Champion.
23:06I have done so much in my career.
23:08My dad is a 16-time world champion.
23:11I'm the 14.
23:13Charlotte, whether it's in her DNA or it's just who she is,
23:18she elevates the business.
23:22Just really an unbelievable athlete.
23:25It's not a man or a woman thing.
23:26Charlotte Flair is one of the best wrestlers, period.
23:31She's almost invincible.
23:33I've never had a broken bone, a sprain.
23:38So, when I got injured, I was just in shock.
23:42Two of the most decorated women in the history of WWE and athletic as well.
23:48Oh!
23:50Tore my ACL, sprained my MCL, shaved down my meniscus.
23:55And then, knowing it was about to be WrestleMania season,
23:58I was like, oh, I'm, like, blaming myself for missing WrestleMania.
24:01Like, how did I do this?
24:02Like, the injury could have been prevented.
24:06I thought about it this morning.
24:07The last 10 years, I've been almost a part of every single WrestleMania.
24:11And so, I'm not there for 40 to be a part of the accumulation.
24:17It's just...
24:21That's why my knee injury was such a mental mind game to me,
24:24because I was like, what if I don't come back?
24:35Love you, Dad.
24:37I'm grateful to always be used in the big moments.
24:42All those WrestleMania matches.
24:44From the top rope.
24:46By Charlotte.
24:47Tore the bridge into the figure eight.
24:49And yes, she does.
24:51We're all huge title matches.
24:53That's what I'm good at.
24:54That's what I've been bred for.
24:56That's the role they've put me in.
24:58And now, the Queen, once again, standing tall.
25:01Some people go, gosh, you're so arrogant, or gosh, you're so selfish.
25:09In reality, all I have been done here
25:13is been bred to be a champion, and bred to be in the title picture,
25:17and bred to elevate the title for my opponent.
25:20Charlotte Clare said you earned it tonight.
25:23We're just removing the old torn ACL.
25:29The rest of her knee actually looks really good.
25:34I don't think it could have gone any better
25:37when we started with rehab tomorrow.
25:45Look, I think on the men's throngle side,
25:48we're in pretty good shape, right?
25:49Yeah.
25:50I need a little bit of time on the women's side.
25:53Bianca winning, if she did, she'd be the first female to win, too.
25:58I mean, you could tell a story with Charlotte's return,
26:01trying to rebuild herself.
26:03Do you make the story about, like, it's an underdog story,
26:06and is there somebody that you'd want to take a swing on?
26:09Horrible option.
26:11You get Intro 29 in there,
26:14and come in, there's only two women.
26:16They end up doing a double elimination.
26:19So whoever's number 30 automatically wins.
26:25Chelsea Green.
26:27Walks down, goes in.
26:29Win some Royal Rumble.
26:31Oh, my God.
26:34Go figure something out.
26:40Okay, Royal Rumble.
26:41What should we be expecting this weekend?
26:43The Royal Rumble kicks off the road to WrestleMania.
26:46So, as you know, the winner of the men's Royal Rumble match
26:49and the winner of the women's Royal Rumble match,
26:51they go on to choose the championship that they'd like to compete for at WrestleMania.
26:56I'm looking forward to Charlotte Flair's return to the ring.
27:01It's been way too long.
27:03Lots of surprises that I don't even know about, and if I did, I wouldn't be allowed to say.
27:07Oh, yeah, you should.
27:08Yeah, I know.
27:09But I don't know, truthfully.
27:10Here's the points.
27:11I mean, I know some things, but not all things.
27:14Check, check, check.
27:16One, two, three, four, five, six.
27:20That's good.
27:21It's been a year, two months, and a few days.
27:28I missed this.
27:30There's nothing like this that you do in your everyday life when you walk out into a stadium
27:34and know that there's gonna be 65,000 people cheering.
27:37I missed the anticipation.
27:42I missed the adrenaline.
27:43I missed, you know, seeing the crew set up and what it all takes for this to come alive when it's showtime.
27:51Let's goddamn do this.
27:53Let's do this.
27:55Knowing that it could be taken away like it was, you always wanna leave everything you have out there.
28:00When I walked through that curtain tonight, I feel the pressure of having to reintroduce myself.
28:07I'm Charlotte Flair.
28:08I'm the 14-time women's champion.
28:10I'm gonna remind them tonight when 65,000 people are wooing when I come out.
28:15We haven't even been in the same vicinity.
28:19Like, I got called up, and I made any of our internet.
28:23Once I get past tonight, yeah, I'm hot.
28:28Yeah, I'm hot.
28:29I know.
28:30Just get through tonight.
28:31Just get through tonight.
28:32You're good.
28:33I have done it all, but I wanna come back and I wanna do it all over again.
28:37I'm Marc Flair's daughter.
28:39Hell yeah, I am the top girl.
28:43Having that perspective, I just feel unbreakable.
28:48Wait till y'all see my bedazzled brace.
28:51We're gonna go into the rumble looking like a hot mess.
29:00Last night I got my ass beat.
29:02Let me show you something.
29:04I got my ass absolutely handed to me.
29:08Yeah, it's not great.
29:09But now, she's on the attack.
29:13A little payback for Chelsea.
29:18A week ago, I took kind of a spill in the ring.
29:25The very first spot, me going into the ring, the bottom rope busted my lip, busted my nose.
29:32So, I've got a cracked nose on this side here.
29:37I've got bruising all the way up underneath my mouth, all the way to inside of my nose.
29:43But if I get hit in the nose, I have to go into surgery.
29:47So, we're protecting it.
29:49We're protecting the nose.
29:51We do not need another surgery.
29:52We're just gonna stay clear of this side.
29:55We've told the girls, do not go near this side of my face.
30:01She's giving Victoria a secret, honey.
30:05I'm excited.
30:06It's the Royal Rumble.
30:07It's the PLE jump starting the road to WrestleMania.
30:10So, I'm super excited.
30:11But honestly, I'm very nervous.
30:13I'm anxious.
30:14Royal Rumble days are very chaotic.
30:16There never feels like it's enough time, like backstage.
30:20I just always try to have my dad's voice in my head where he always tells me it's okay to be nervous.
30:24Just don't be scared.
30:25One day, Bianca Belera will be fully prepared.
30:30But today will not be that day.
30:40I just stabbed myself in the chest.
30:42And I have too much baby oil on that like now my hands are slipping on the needle.
30:55The following is the Women's Royal Rumble Match!
31:11Oh, I'm shaking.
31:12Let's tear it up.

35:52yeah i don't think i'm going to sleep tonight the adrenaline was insane and i believe that at one
35:58point they changed my name and that is literally like every wrestler's dream that one right there
36:05that's the reason why i got eliminated uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh you better watch me you better watch me b
36:11yeah
36:232024 was really hard
36:26the one thing that i've always relied on was my athleticism
36:31and when i felt like that got taken away i was so scared not to come back it was
36:35just good enough for the fans congratulations congratulations thank you let's go how do you
36:41feel out there yeah you need to get one under my belt yeah that's it get hit one time and it's
36:46right back in it yeah yeah here we go wrestlemania wrestlemania tonight is like the beginning of i hope
36:55the best chapter of my career i feel the most confident me versus me and that's what i'm here to
37:01do it all over again so elimination chamber is the next opportunity to really solidify
37:24your path to wrestlemania where everyone was the first one and if you're not successful with that
37:29one now you have elimination chamber in elimination chamber match that's a whole nother animal of
37:35itself you're inside of a huge chamber structure there's four pods there's a girl in each pod
37:43but there's two girls that start in the match in every couple of minutes a new girl comes out of a pod
37:52and it's elimination style so if you get pinned you're out of the match and whoever is left
37:58at the end is who wins this is really the last time you can really solidify having a title match
38:06at wrestlemania i'm excited about this fabric i think this is what i'm going to try to use i like
38:13because it's very sparkly the only the only thing is that it's see-through and i didn't realize it was
38:18see-through what this is called is we don't know what we're doing but we're gonna figure it out
38:23anytime you see me in the ring the gear that i'm wearing i've made i make and sew all of my gear
38:28myself most girls they get somebody else to make their gear for them i enjoy being able to
38:43take my creativity and put it out into my fabrics when i'm standing across from a girl in the ring
38:51i'm like i made my own ring gear what did you do wow for big moments like elimination chamber you want
38:58to go big you want to go bold so for my gear i'm trying to make chaps
39:05and i could just make the chaps from scratch but i feel like it might take me a little bit longer to do
39:11that so i what i did was i bought some chaps and i'm going to use this as the pattern little cheat
39:17codes you know little cheat codes what kind of shoot we doing here just something for only fans
39:23i'm trying to distract everybody so i can win i mean well that that'll do it my husband is montez
39:29ford and we met here in wwe he started in wwe in 2015. we dated for a year got married a year later
39:40and we work together we travel together we're always together thank god we we like each other not
39:45just love each other i'm gonna need you don't cut me i'm gonna need you
39:57ah babe what did i cut you i felt something she scared me
40:07bianca is amazing and in her short career has done it all she then becomes the conduit to jade
40:17cargill jade cargill what an amazing absolute powerhouse which they eventually became tag team
40:24champions talk about a superhero life tag team unfortunately in real life jade was injured
40:30because now what do you do sometimes when things happen that are real it affects the storyline what
40:38happens now when your tag team partner gets injured that's the beautiful thing about wwe
40:43that's the beautiful thing about wrestling the injury doesn't necessarily have to stop things
40:47and then i think that's where the story came with well who took jade out
40:53well that's good because our audience loves a whodunit and so the mystery became who attacked jade
41:06jade got injured me and naomi became tag team partners like it's it's bad she's not gonna be
41:11back for a minute but once we find out who did it we're gonna get them okay well i know we gotta figure
41:17out who took out who took out jade all the evidence pointed to live morgan and raquel rodriguez
41:25is that living raquel i knew it i knew it i told you i told you so they had the smoking gun
41:36but the i think the best choice and the one we landed on was the one closest to her
41:41naomi you know i'm with you yeah all the way on this but first once jade got clearance from the
41:49doctors to return then the creative team goes into high gear and it's like okay we know we want
41:55naomi to do it how is the best way to reveal this and that's when the team came up with let's do it at
42:02the elimination chamber you're in the chamber jade comes out and you think oh my god she's coming for
42:07that she goes for me oh man it kind of swerves everybody when jade comes out i'm just wondering
42:14what's reaction would be when that music hits i think it's got to be a oh i think she's almost
42:19kind of got to catch herself being like i can't sell this too big yeah yeah oh god she didn't live
42:24goes oh god and she just walks right back she comes in and goes to the top piece of dog
42:30shit out of naomi and beyond with bianca independent yeah i can't get out doesn't know what the
42:35fuck is going on it's great it really is like her and that in that glass case like what are you doing
42:42what's going on right now this is toronto ontario canada over 37 000 wwe fans are here
42:57for the final premium live event stop on the road to wrestlemania

51:00Yeah.
51:00And he goes on this.
51:02Yeah.
51:02And look,
51:03to be honest,
51:04when you go down
51:04to the PC,
51:06there's fucking
51:06five women that are
51:07great for every guy.
51:09It's like they
51:09come in and
51:11six months later,
51:11they're like fucking
51:12really good.
51:13The guys are like
51:14just starting to figure
51:14shit out.
51:16They're just way
51:17smarter than us.
51:18You got to come in
51:19like it's this.
51:20You're a superhero.
51:21On the whip,
51:23that shit,
51:24pow.
51:26They replayed it
51:27like 50 times.
51:28I'm going to make sure
51:30I'm going to get so hard.
51:30You kind of have to,
51:31you know?
51:31Yeah.
51:32It sounded fucking good.
51:38My gear did great.
51:40Yeah.
51:40Look at this jacket.
51:42I got tired of sewing it,
51:45so I just safety-pinned
51:46everything.
51:47I wrestled out my boots.
51:49Holy shit.
51:51How did you do that?
51:54I wrestled.
51:56No.
51:56Yeah.
51:57No.
51:59You said Liv drop
51:59kicked me out my boots.
52:01I need a little adult
52:02beverage.
52:02Yeah, I don't blame you.
52:04Get some water first.
52:06No.
52:07Then drink your wine.
52:10I think we're always
52:11trying to evolve
52:14our brand and our company
52:15and I think our women
52:18are a huge part of that.
52:20They are so talented,
52:22so athletic,
52:23so gifted.
52:26The women's matches
52:27mean just as much
52:28as the men's matches
52:29and that's what drives
52:31the best possible
52:32end result.
52:33But it's also
52:34just the way it should be.
52:37You can't spell
52:39WrestleMania
52:39without E-S-T.
52:43If you ask any wrestler
52:45what is your goal
52:47in WWE,
52:48it's to one day
52:49main event WrestleMania.
52:51I've won five
52:52WrestleMania's.
52:53Perception is everything,
52:55right?
52:55So if you're a champion,
52:57people know,
52:58oh, you're a big deal.
