00:00The following contest is scheduled for
00:08one fall and is for the Women's Tag Team Championship.
00:22Introducing first, the challengers,
00:27representing the Judgment Day,
00:32the team of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
00:45And their opponents, they are the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:57The team of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
01:07Pretty cool night here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:09We got the Women's Tag Team titles now.
01:11Our main event still to come later tonight.
01:12Seth Rollins, LA Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:17So this will be the third time that these teams have battled over the past month for the Tag Team titles.
01:27The Judgment Day successful at Evolution in the Fatal 4-Way match.
01:31And then of course it's SummerSlam.
01:33Alexa and Charlotte taking the titles away from Judgment Day.
01:36I think this matchup may tell us more about the team of Bliss and Flair than anything that we have seen thus far.
01:42Now that you hold the championships, your strategy generally changes.
01:46You compete differently when you're trying to retain as opposed to dethrone reigning champions.
01:51Raquel Rodriguez will start the matchup for her team.
01:56Interesting choice to have Alexa start things off for the Tag Champs against the much bigger and more powerful Raquel.
02:02Well, Alexa Bliss has made a career out of defying expectations.
02:06I don't know if I'd be spending this much time pandering to the WWE Universe, so.
02:13Well, they're enjoying the newfound adulation.
02:18You can enjoy the adulation after the bell rings for the end of the match.
02:23Time to get down to business.
02:25I don't like this one bit.
02:28It's gonna come back to bite, bliss and flair, I'm telling you right now.
02:35So Raquel and Alexa squaring off.
02:37Women's tag team titles are up for grabs.
02:40Okay, we're underway now with this women's tag team title match.
02:52Alexa Bliss, Raquel Rodriguez starting things off for their respective teams.
02:56Corey, how did the former champions win the gold back tonight?
03:00Listen, I think the Judgment Day are perhaps more on the same page than the Cardinals.
03:04Of course, I'm talking about Perez and Rodriguez tag made.
03:08This is what they need to do.
03:09Stick to their guns, stick to their game plan.
03:11Cut the rig in half, quick tags in and out.
03:14It served them extremely well up until SummerSlam.
03:16And I know for a fact that Roxanne and Raquel want to prove that SummerSlam was just a fluke.
03:21The prodigy, Roxanne Perez now going right after Alexa Bliss.
03:25Raquel Rodriguez, five-time tag team champion, more than any woman in history.
03:32Alexa Bliss, however, Corey, now a four-time tag team champion.
03:36We know, again, that Alexa has had success in the tag team division in the past.
03:41But tag team chemistry is a tricky thing.
03:43It's funny.
03:44Sometimes it comes out of nowhere.
03:45Sometimes it's unconscious.
03:47Sometimes you can work and work and work and you just can't find the same chemistry.
03:51And again, we've got another championship match coming your way tonight.
03:54It's for the World Heavyweight Title.
03:56Seth Rollins.
03:57Look at this.
03:58Versus LA Night Live here on Raw.
04:00And I don't know if it'll be that particular instance, but you get a few of those mistakes.
04:04A few incidents of miscommunication that can fracture a team worse than anything.
04:09Tag made to Raquel, and the queen does not like not being in control.
04:17Charlotte, a 13-time world champion.
04:22Waste lock on Raquel, who delivers an elbow to the bridge of the nose.
04:27Charlotte with a shoulder tackle, Raquel still on her feet, and now floors Charlotte with one of her own.
04:33It might be something of an unpopular opinion, but I think Raquel Rodriguez is doing the best work
04:38we've seen from her in her WWE tenure recently.
04:41And I think a lot of that credit is due to Roxanne Perez.
04:44A level of comfort we're seeing out of Raquel.
04:46A confidence that maybe she was lacking in the past.
04:49I also think the fact that her former partner Liv Morgan left with injury,
04:52that shoulder injury that's kept Liv out for a number of months,
04:55has forced Raquel to step up as well.
04:58Would agree with that.
04:59Now Flair.
05:00Charlotte sends Raquel across the ring.
05:03Charlotte Flair's first match on Monday Night Raw tonight.
05:07In four years, Alexa Bliss hasn't competed on this show in two and a half.
05:13So a rare treat for Monday nights.
05:15Raquel able to put the brakes on using her power to thwart Charlotte's plan.
05:20Tag made.
05:22And here comes Roxanne Perez.
05:24Another incredible 20-25, which started out at the Royal Rumble.
05:29Lasted longer than any woman in history in that matchup.
05:32Out to the apron.
05:37Raquel with a boot.
05:38And now one to Roxanne.
05:39Look at Raquel on the outside tying up.
05:42Charlotte.
05:43And the champ goes down.
05:45Here comes the prodigy.
05:47And Roxanne with a suicide dive.
05:49Taking Charlotte out.
05:51And the ex-champs looking great so far.
05:54The Judgment Day wants that gold, those championships back inside of their clubhouse.
06:05And this is a great way to start things off for the former champs, Perez and Rodriguez.
06:10Yeah, Dominic's still the Intercontinental Champion within the Judgment Day.
06:13Finn and JD still the men's tag champs.
06:18Roxanne just so wise beyond her years, Corey.
06:23The prodigy is the most appropriate nickname anybody could think of.
06:27Perez moves like a veteran.
06:29She thinks like a veteran.
06:30She's been in high pressure situations and shown over and over again that she thrives in those situations.
06:37And there's never any panic in Roxanne Perez.
06:40And that's a game changer.
06:41It's one of the toughest things to do in the heat of battle, whether it be in a WWE ring, boxing,
06:46any sort of combat sport, to maintain your composure.
06:49And Charlotte right to the back of the knee.
06:51And Roxanne Perez runs into a boot.
06:54Roxanne goes down as well.
06:56And Charlotte will make the tag and here comes Bliss.
06:58And Alexa and Charlotte now.
07:03Cover to retain.
07:08And a kick out.
07:09Now, they were on the same page there.
07:12Definitely, but one successful tandem maneuver does not a successful duo make.
07:18Drop kick, down goes Raquel.
07:20Alexa firing up now.
07:24Tries Raquel out to the apron and out to the floor.
07:27Now, Bliss, cannonball, caught by Raquel.
07:34The power now of Rodriguez.
07:37And driving Alexa into the barricade and into the Time Keepers area.
07:42And a big boot of floor, Bliss.
07:44The challengers are in control and looking good.
07:50And I cannot tell you how impressed that I have been with Raquel and Roxanne over the past
08:05couple of months since they started teaming together.
08:08I'd love to help you Alexa, but not my job.
08:10And Alexa now sent back into the ring.
08:12And Raquel, cover, opportunity to win the Tag Team Gold and a kick out at two.
08:19This is what I was talking about when I was referring to the confidence we're seeing
08:26out of Raquel Rodriguez.
08:28Right now she's in no rush, no hurry, very methodical in her movements,
08:32has slowed the pace of this match down.
08:34And in doing so, has taken the crowd out of the equation.
08:37Yeah, and forcing Charlotte to watch her pummel her partner Alexa Bliss.
08:42And the fact that Charlotte and Bliss are not quote unquote cover here.
08:47Cover again, hooks both legs this time, stacks up Bliss and forces her to kick hard.
08:51The fact that Flair and Bliss are not friends can actually be a benefit in a situation like
08:55we just saw, with Alexa being trapped in a submission.
08:58Charlotte, of course, doesn't want her partner to submit, doesn't wanna lose the gold,
09:02but also doesn't feel that emotional attachment to her partner.
09:05And look at Roxanne just having her way with Alexa Bliss here.
09:08There's the main street of the Prodigy.
09:11One second.
09:12I mean, she can be as nasty as they come.
09:15Taking a little page out of Alexa Bliss' old playbook,
09:23just a little disrespect from the Prodigy.
09:26The problem with Perez is she knows she's good.
09:31How's that a problem?
09:33Well, I guess it creates the attitude, right?
09:38And now look at, again, Roxanne just having her way with Bliss.
09:44And just right in front of Charlotte.
09:47Perez knows what she's doing right now.
09:50Roxanne's trying to get under Charlotte Flair's skin.
09:53We know how highly emotional Flair tends to get in high pressure situations.
09:58Nobody is better at channeling that emotion than Charlotte Flair.
10:01But that's what Perez is trying to do, try to get under Charlotte's skin.
10:05They have great tag team chemistry here by the Judgment Day,
10:08frequent tags in and out, wearing their opponent down,
10:11not allowing Charlotte to tag into this matchup.
10:14Here we go, it's working.
10:16The Judgment Day strategy is working.
10:19Yeah, causing Charlotte Flair to lose her temper and allows a double team in the corner
10:23as the official Jessica Carr is dealing with Flair.
10:26And expect to see Roxanne and Raquel continue to chip away.
10:29Oops, shoulders down.
10:30Is it enough?
10:31And a kick out.
10:32Charlotte trying to rally the WWE fans here in Brooklyn.
10:40Right now Raquel putting all of her weight on the diminutive Bliss.
10:45Alexa's gotta make a tag.
10:48Moments ago Raquel missed with an elbow.
10:58Alexa Bliss found an opening, but can she get to her corner?
11:01Can she make a tag to her partner Charlotte Flair?
11:03Bliss was only fingertips away.
11:05Unfortunately, she wasn't exactly aware of her placement in the ring.
11:08May have missed the only opportunity she'll get.
11:11And Bliss going up.
11:12Whoa!
11:13Dropping Raquel with a DDT.
11:15And now Alexa has an opportunity.
11:17That is a lot of ground to cover to make it to Charlotte Flair.
11:22Here goes Bliss.
11:23Tag.
11:24Here comes Perez.
11:28Perez trying to save Raquel and she's gonna pay for it as well.
11:33The crossbody for the Queen and now the chops.
11:38Lighting up Rodriguez.
11:43Charlotte with that cartwheel clothesline.
11:51That was a front walkover Cole.
11:53My daughter would crucify me if I got that wrong.
11:55Gymnastic dad.
11:58Look at the power of Charlotte Flair.
12:01And gonna use Roxanne with a fall away slam.
12:16And Charlotte walking over her opponents.
12:19We know Tigers can never change their stripes, Cole.
12:22From the top.
12:27Moonsault by Charlotte.
12:29Cover on Raquel.
12:31And a kick out by Rodriguez at two.
12:35Charlotte Flair was on a roll.
12:38Look at this next level athleticism.
12:40But most importantly, the impact on the clothesline.
12:45And a two for one special.
12:47The Queen with a moonsault onto both challengers.
12:51And now Raquel Rodriguez with a waistlock standing switch by Charlotte.
12:54Tag made.
12:55Roxanne's legal.
12:56Not sure if Charlotte realizes that as she delivers a boot to Raquel.
13:00Well, she knows now.
13:01Up and around goes the Prodigy.
13:04And great double team.
13:05That kick into the side Russian leg sweep.
13:07And the cover for the titles.
13:09Kick out by Flair.
13:10And they're really coming together as a team on the Judgment Day.
13:16Now it seems to be Perez losing her temper at the moment.
13:23Now gotta be careful.
13:24We gotta keep it under control.
13:25Can't afford a disqualification here.
13:27Is this your queen?
13:30No queen of mine.
13:33Kick to the body by Perez.
13:39Look for Pop Rocks.
13:42Charlotte able to counter in her right hand by Roxanne.
13:45Let's go, Rocks, let's go.
13:47Let her up.
13:48No.
13:49Face first off the second turnbuckle.
13:52Come here, guys.
13:53Now a clothesline sends Raquel to the floor.
13:57Charlotte looking to muscle Perez all the way up and over.
14:08But what a move by Roxanne.
14:10It was an ill-advised decision by the champion.
14:12And the challenger Perez made Flair pay.
14:15And Roxanne now gonna go up to the top rope.
14:18And delivers a Hurricanrana that time to Charlotte Flair.
14:22Tag made.
14:23Here comes Raquel.
14:24I like the urgency we're seeing from the challengers understanding this may be your
14:28only shot.
14:29And there's the cold screw elbow by Raquel.
14:31Cover for the win.
14:34And Alexa Bliss just breaks up the three count.
14:38Bliss had a lot of ground to cover to break up that fall.
14:42Alexa sent back to the outside courtesy of Roxanne Perez.
14:49Now tag made.
14:51Roxanne legal.
14:52Charlotte with no one to tag right now because Alexa Bliss was, now she's on the apron.
14:56Here comes Perez, sent up and over.
15:01Landed hard.
15:03Raquel sent out to the apron.
15:06Big boot by Flair.
15:08Tag, tag Alexa.
15:11Tag to Bliss.
15:13Roxanne dragging Alexa face first off the apron.
15:16That could prove to be a misfire for the champions.
15:19Bliss has already banged up, not 100%.
15:22I don't know if that was the smartest time to make a tag, but here comes Perez,
15:27the challenger.
15:28Intercepted by Bliss.
15:30Sister Abigail.
15:35One, two, three.
15:37Champs retained.
15:38Here are your winners, and still the Women's Tag Team Champions.
15:48Charlotte Blair and Alexa Bliss.
15:55What a win for the Women's Tag Team Champions.
16:00It was not easy, but in the closing moments, Alexa Bliss, right place, right time, face first.
16:08Thanks for coming, Roxanne.
16:16Bliss, Flair, still the Women's Tag Team Champions.
16:21Keep holding them for yourself.
16:22Yep, I am grateful for coming.
