00:00You can't focus on what happened last week, last month, last year.
00:03You have to focus on the here, the now, and the what's next.
00:06Well, EO better focus on Roxanne Perez and not be concerned with Raquel Rodriguez here at Ringside.
00:12I think Roxanne understands the opportunity that's presented itself tonight.
00:15If somehow Roxanne is able to get past EO Sky, that raises the stock of Roxanne Perez,
00:21perhaps put her in line for a future championship opportunity.
00:24That's a great point. It's been a great year for Roxanne Perez.
00:26We've talked about it so much over the past number of months.
00:29Roxanne Perez burst in on the scene with that record-setting Royal Rumble matchup
00:33lasting longer than any woman in history.
00:37Well, trust me, I believe it's only a matter of time before Roxanne is wearing gold once again here in WWE
00:42as we watch how expertly she conducts herself between the ropes.
00:47EO very comfortable wearing gold as well, a former two-time world champion,
00:51two-time tag champ, a champ at NXT as well.
00:55Roxanne, a couple of times, held the NXT Women's Championship,
00:58also, of course, the tag team champion with Raquel.
01:04Feisty Roxanne Perez taking control of EO Sky.
01:09Roxanne knows you need to try to ground the genius of the sky in this matchup.
01:14And they're going to do just that.
01:17It's a tried and true strategy.
01:19Roxanne fully understanding just how capable EO is once she gets going,
01:23and when she pushes the pace, when she takes to the air, EO is almost unstoppable.
01:28You know, so much has been made, Corey, as well,
01:29about how Roxanne Perez would be accepted in the judgment day after Liv Morgan.
01:35Oh, look, shoulders down.
01:35Look at this.
01:36Almost tatter.
01:37After Liv Morgan left with that shoulder injury.
01:41And again, and again, a kick out.
01:44Roxanne's fit in pretty well, I think.
01:46Well, at the end of the day, it's like Al Davis said, just win, baby.
01:50And what Roxanne has done week after week is hold up her end of the bargain.
01:53After filling in for Liv Morgan as half of the women's tag team champions,
01:56Roxanne has been extremely impressive.
01:58Cover again, and again, a kick out.
02:01And again, you've got to give Finn Balor credit,
02:03the way that he has really taken on the leadership role of Judgment Day.
02:08Nice takedown again by Roxanne.
02:10The headlock.
02:11And what impresses me so much about Roxanne Perez,
02:13we only saw it for a moment.
02:15She executed the headlock takeover on EO Sky,
02:17and Roxanne's hips were up off of the mat to get maximum torque
02:21to really inflict as much damage as possible in a short period of time.
02:24And it also put EO in a pinning combination.
02:25And now Roxanne Perez.
02:26Look at this.
02:27What a great counter by Roxanne, the prodigy of WWE.
02:35She is in there against one of the best in the world.
02:37EO Sky, who's going to remind Roxanne of that.
02:41Now a side headlock of her own.
02:46And a takedown of Perez.
02:49Roxanne now, head scissors.
02:54Now EO Sky, turning this into a headstand.
03:01And now EO counters out of the predicament.
03:03EO-HO-HO-HO!
03:06Chote almost turned Roxy's lights out.
03:10Surprised Raquel here at ringside as well.
03:14Guy kicked to the knee.
03:15Misses wildly with that one.
03:16Perez going to roll her up.
03:17Pinning combination here.
03:18New fall for Roxanne.
03:21And now a takedown by Perez, who's got a mean streak.
03:25We've seen that side of her.
03:28One of many reasons Roxanne has tasted as much success as she has this early in her career.
03:34Roxanne's not concerned about the opinions of the WWE Universe.
03:37The opinions of her peers in the locker room, for that matter.
03:39She cares about the Judgment Day Clubhouse.
03:41But everything else is all about her.
03:46EO Sky chants ringing out here at Quebec City.
03:49Capacity crowned tonight for Monday Night Raw.
03:51Big knee to the midsection.
03:54Perez barking back at the WWE fans.
03:59Roxanne cartwheels over EO.
04:01And oh, slapped her right across the face.
04:03Irritated EO more than it hurt.
04:13Uh-oh.
04:17EO lands on her feet.
04:19Oh-oh.
04:20Roxanne can't believe it.
04:21Now she does.
04:24Five across the eyes from the genius of the sky.
04:30EO looking to push the face once again.
04:33And now it's EO's turn to show off as she drives Roxanne outside the ring.
04:37Looks to regroup with Raquel.
04:40Look out, Cole.
04:41I have a feeling we're about to get a visit from the genius.
04:45To a side dive.
04:46Takes down the Judgment Day.
04:50Oh, and Roxanne from behind.
04:54That's one of the many reasons the Judgment Day are so effective as a group, as a unit.
04:59Raquel took the brunt of the impact.
05:01And Roxanne Perez once again in control of this matchup.
05:05Go, Chelsea! Go, Chelsea! Go, Chelsea!
05:20Roxanne quickly looking for the cover here.
05:23Hooks the leg.
05:24Ear fall on Scott.
05:25You can almost feel the confidence of Roxanne Perez growing as this matchup progresses.
05:39The more offense she lands on EO, the more comfortable, the more confident Roxanne becomes.
05:44Which is really saying something, because this is a young woman who has never lacked confidence in the ring.
05:48Well, and another thing that's been very...
05:52That I've been impressed with.
05:54Roxanne's got a five count here to break it.
05:56She does.
05:57And now Raquel with a cheap shot to Sky.
06:00Oh, uh-oh.
06:00I've been impressed with Roxanne as she goes into the cover again.
06:06Hot Sky.
06:07Hook of the leg and a kick out.
06:08She goes toe-to-toe with some of the best in the world.
06:12Established superstars.
06:15Roxanne certainly has that fire inside.
06:17A feisty competitor appears to be fearless at most times.
06:23And with good reason.
06:24Roxanne has earned the nickname The Prodigy.
06:27She didn't bestow it upon herself.
06:29She is wise beyond her years in this game.
06:32She is talented beyond her experience in this game.
06:35Side-rushing leg sweep by Roxanne.
06:37Floats into the cover.
06:37Will hook the leg on Sky.
06:39Kick out at two near fall.
06:41And we talk about this each and every week, but Corey, you're right.
06:44I mean, there's no way she should have the experience that she does at this young age.
06:50I mean, she acts like a veteran in the ring.
06:54The prized star pupil of WWE Hall of Famer Booker T.
07:00Roxanne has certainly set out making a name for herself in short order here in WWE.
07:05Now at the expense of EO Sky.
07:08EO again is supposed to have a world championship opportunity tonight.
07:12Naomi could not complete.
07:13But EO still wanted to fight.
07:15She got Roxanne, and she's in a fight right now.
07:18Back to her feet.
07:19Roxanne driven into the turnbuckle, forcing a break.
07:25But EO, undergoing a tremendous amount of abuse here.
07:30Things are going from bad to worse from the genius of the Sky.
07:34Courtesy of The Prodigy.
07:36Roxanne cover.
07:37Now the shoulders are down, and Sky grabs the rope.
07:42That'll force the break.
07:46Seeing signs of frustration right now from Roxanne Perez.
07:51But again, where frustration can sometimes be the downfall of Superstars, that's rarely the case with Roxanne.
07:56She's so confident in the ring.
08:10EO Sky, Roxanne Perez in the midst of a battle here.
08:14Roxanne has been punishing EO Sky.
08:17And now Perez with that running forearm to the back of the genius of the Sky.
08:26That could spell bad news for EO Sky.
08:29It has been a relentless assault by Perez.
08:31Second rope, springboard moonsault to Sky.
08:34Isn't it enough to put her away?
08:35Hook of the leg now.
08:37EO's got a kick out.
08:39EO is expecting a match with Naomi tonight for the World Championship.
08:42Naomi not medically clear to compete.
08:44Roxanne Perez put in this matchup against EO, and it's been a great one.
08:49Out of that corner, Perez.
08:52Out of there, listen up.
08:53You have to imagine EO came into this matchup in tip-top shape, prepared for peak performance,
08:59to go one-on-one with the Women's World Champion, Naomi.
09:04But what I'm seeing thus far is perhaps EO didn't have time to re-strategize.
09:10She didn't try to re-plan her game specifically to Roxanne Perez.
09:13She's probably still thinking about Naomi, and sometimes the strategy isn't one size fits all.
09:18Well, and again, Roxanne and Naomi are vastly different competitors.
09:23Perez now second.
09:24Oh, and EO Sky caught her with a drop kick.
09:27And EO's got an opportunity to turn this match around here.
09:34Take another look at this.
09:36Roxanne propels herself from the second rope, and a bang.
09:40Drop kick right to the heart of the prodigy.
09:44Raquel on the outside, obviously concerned for her partner, her Judgment Day sister, Roxanne Perez.
09:51Oh, and here comes EO Sky.
09:53EO firing up now.
09:55This is what Roxanne Perez is trying to avoid.
10:04EO dips out to the apron.
10:06Able to block the right.
10:08Catches her with a kick.
10:11Sky top rope now.
10:15And EO.
10:16Oh, and a missile drop kick.
10:18Into a kip up.
10:19And they're loving it here.
10:34Bullet train attack.
10:39Cover by Sky.
10:40One, two, near fall.
10:43And again, EO learning a lot about Roxanne Perez tonight.
10:52Going to take some of the wind out of the sails of EO Sky.
10:55Landing the bullet train attack right on the money.
10:57It still wasn't enough to finish the job.
10:59But whatever comes next, maybe.
11:03Could be over the moon salt.
11:04And Roxanne Perez rolling out of harm's way.
11:08Again, a veteran move by the prodigy, Roxanne Perez.
11:11That sky-high in-ring IQ of the prodigy.
11:17Pun intended because of EO, you know.
11:19Yeah, I got it.
11:21Oh, goodness.
11:23Another great move by Perez.
11:24I literally have to explain yourself.
11:26I have my questions about you from time to time.
11:29And now Roxanne up to the top rope.
11:31And delivers a hurricane run.
11:32Wow.
11:34To EO Sky and Roxanne giving the former world champ a fight here tonight.
11:39Bang.
11:40Oh, that may do it.
11:41Perez for the win.
11:43Hooks the outside leg.
11:44Kick out by Sky at two.
11:46What a match up here between Roxanne and EO.
11:49It has been incredible thus far.
11:53You see the ring IQ of the prodigy on display.
11:56And this is just next level vicious.
11:59Knees across the back of EO's neck.
12:02But not enough to topple the genius yet.
12:06With the pop rocks perhaps.
12:08Countered by Sky.
12:10Now Sky with a kick right to the face.
12:12EO lining up Roxy once again.
12:22And Roxanne moves out of harm's way this time.
12:24EO Sky knee first into the buckle.
12:25Fool me once.
12:30Shame on you.
12:31Fool me twice.
12:32You're not going to fool me again.
12:36Roxanne trying to hang on to the apron.
12:38EO drags her back into the ring.
12:41Oh, what?
12:41Perez went to the eyes.
12:43Yeah.
12:43And Raquel on the official distracted.
12:45And here's that shining wizard.
12:47By Roxanne Perez.
12:48Cover.
12:48Hook of the leg now.
12:49Is it enough for the victory?
12:50Over EO Sky and a kick out.
12:52Of a shining wizard by Sky.
12:56And you can see the frustration etched on the face of Perez.
13:00Here we see Raquel Rodriguez keeps our official Sean Bennett's attention long enough for Roxanne
13:05to go to the eyes of EO Sky.
13:08Followed up immediately by a shining wizard.
13:11Right on point.
13:13But couldn't keep EO down for three.
13:16EO Sky.
13:17Here we go.
13:17Around the world.
13:18Face down.
13:20Looking for the cross face now.
13:21Center of the ring.
13:22Roxanne's got it locked in.
13:23Submission move.
13:24Man, what a win it would be if Roxanne could tap out EO Sky here.
13:28Look at the torque on the lower back on the neck of EO Sky.
13:32Roxanne is cranking with everything in her being.
13:35And EO trying to fight it back.
13:37Trying to stay in this.
13:38Great move by EO.
13:40Looking for a pinning combination here.
13:41No, it's EO who's actually almost pinned.
13:44But forced a break by Roxanne.
13:46And now Sky.
13:47Oh!
13:48Backbreaker.
13:48Knee to the spine.
13:51Just collapses into the cover.
13:55Perez kicks out another near fall.
13:57What a match between these two superstars.
14:00Beyond the exhaustion EO and Roxanne must be feeling at this juncture is a healthy dose of frustration.
14:14Neither woman has been able to end the other just yet despite landing some of their best offense on one another.
14:20Now EO out to the apron.
14:22Raquel tries to get involved.
14:24EO makes her pay with a kick.
14:29Roxanne and Raquel trying to brace themselves against one another.
14:32That springboard moonsault by Sky.
14:34Sky takes out both Roxanne and Raquel.
14:37And Raquel.
14:37Rebecca City is rocking behind the genius of the Sky.
14:43Can EO finish the job?
14:45Looking for perhaps over the moonsault from the top rope.
14:49Roxanne got her knees up.
14:55EO's sky crashes and burns.
14:58Absolutely brutal landing for both women.
15:03Perez got her boots up in time.
15:05But I believe EO's knee, perhaps her foot, caught Roxanne in the face.
15:10And here comes Raquel.
15:11What's Perez thinking about on the far side of the ring?
15:17Oh, and now the Kabuki Warriors.
15:19Oscar and Kairi Sane.
15:22As the officials deal with Raquel.
15:25Looking to take out.
15:26Well, I guess they're holding Roxanne for EO's sky.
15:31And EO.
15:32Roxanne on a hard way.
15:34Oh, no.
15:35EO into the Kabuki Warriors.
15:37Roxanne scoops up EO's sky.
15:39Shoulders down.
15:40Oh, Roxanne with a win.
15:43Oh, goodness.
15:44Here is your winner, Roxanne Pou-ray.
15:49Oh, so many things went wrong there.
15:51The Kabuki Warriors trying to help EO's sky backfired.
15:55Roxanne Perez had a handful of tights.
15:57And she pulled off a major win over a former world champ tonight.
16:02Oh, a massive feather in the cap of Perez as we look again at this over-the-moon salt attempt.
16:08It took a lot out of both women, but here Asuka, Kairi Sane would arrive attempting to aid EO's sky.
16:18Instead, it backfired Roxanne with a fistful of trunks and a massive W for Perez and the entire judgment day.
16:27Let's head back to our own Jackie Redman.
