00:00I admit it publicly, Becky has a healthy professional respect for

00:03what Natalya is capable of, and Becky's not gonna get caught like that.

00:06So if you're Natalya, you haven't won a singles championship in eight years,

00:09you put a lot of pressure on yourself heading into this matchup?

00:11Absolutely, this is sort of the headspace Natty's been in for

00:15the past several months, if not longer.

00:17She's frustrated.

00:18This is a woman, roll up now, shoulders down to the champ, and a kick out.

00:21Natalya feels that she has done everything in her power to help the entire

00:25women's division as a whole, in spite of herself at times.

00:28And now Natty's realizing that she's found herself at the bottom of the ladder.

00:31More often than not, she needs to do something to change the perception of herself.

00:35Face first goes Becky Lynch.

00:36A lot has been made over the years of Becky Lynch and

00:38what she's meant to the women in the locker room here in WWE before this change

00:42of heart as of late.

00:43Natalya's really been a locker room suplex release to the champ.

00:48Almost to her own detriment at times.

00:49Natalya has been so selfless in an extremely selfish business.

00:53Baseball slide by Natalya, drives Becky into the barricade.

00:57I think reality is starting to seep into Natalya mentally.

01:00She understands being nice will only get you so far.

01:02You gotta step on some toes.

01:05You gotta rattle some cages.

01:06You've gotta do something that you haven't been doing.

01:08And did you notice Natalya hit the ring post hard?

01:11And seems to be favoring her shoulder here.

01:14It doesn't look good.

01:26And there's a concern here at ringside for Natalya, who perhaps injured her shoulder.

01:30And Becky Lynch doesn't give a damn.

01:31She right back on the attack.

01:33And I know it's tough, but you gotta have a little sympathy for the devil talking about

01:36Becky Lynch in this circumstance.

01:38Natalya may have suffered an injury, but the Intercontinental Champion wants to make

01:41absolutely sure this isn't a ruse, Becky's not gonna allow herself to be caught off guard.

01:47And the man now continuing to bring the fight to a potentially injured challenger.

01:51And Becky Lynch with the upper hand now.

01:53She's got the champion's advantage in the match.

01:55Natalya's got a pin or submitter.

01:56Natalya's really hurting.

01:57And that left arm of Natalya, who said shoulder first into the ring post.

02:03A lot to happen.

02:07You make that sort of impact with that velocity with the unforgiving steel.

02:10I mean, we've seen Liv Morgan several months back suffering injury to her shoulder on a

02:15seemingly a routine maneuver.

02:16And Rhea Ripley last year made contact with a wall and blew her shoulder out.

02:21Who knows what this could mean for Natalya?

02:23I hope it's nothing too severe.

02:24And Becky now into the ring and in control.

02:27The Intercontinental Champion won the title a couple of months ago from Lyra Valkyria.

02:32The dominant ever since Becky's won seven world championships in her career.

02:39And speaking of the world champ, Naomi will be joining us in a matter of moments to

02:43discuss the state of the women's world title here tonight.

02:46One, two, three, four, come on, now get off, I get the five and four, come on.

02:52Look in the eyes of Natalya Cole, it's a different look, something's wrong.

02:56Yeah, she's hurt, trying to stay in this match.

03:01Becky Lynch barking down at Maxina Tazawa ringside, but she continues the attack.

03:06And Natty's no stranger to pain.

03:08This is a young woman who grew up in Stu Hart's infamous dungeon.

03:11You're not gonna make Natalya cry tears because of pain.

03:14And there's something going on here.

03:15And Becky Lynch, look how she's working on that left arm.

03:18And Natalya, you soften up for the disarmer.

03:21Exactly, it's brilliant strategy by the champion.

03:23Again, it may be unpopular, it may seem unnecessarily aggressive.

03:26But at the end of the day, the gold's on the line.

03:27Lynch has to do what she has to do.

03:29And Becky, mega aggressive here, and she's told us on more than one occasion,

03:33she'll do anything it takes to keep the championship around her waist.

03:37And Becky, just quite such the veteran, she realizes that there's a proverbial

03:42blood in the water now for the shark as Natalya's hurt.

03:45Cover now by the champ.

03:47Natalya kicks out at two, right back on the attack.

03:50What we're seeing from the champion right now is essentially defensive offense.

03:57Lynch keeping Natalya in her grip, not allowing Natty to create any sort of

04:01separation to prevent Natty from doing anything offensive right now.

04:06While simultaneously squeezing the breath out of the challenger.

04:11Natalya trying to stay in this.

04:20Intercontinental Championship on the line as Becky Lynch defends against Natalya.

04:27Natalya who apparently suffered a shoulder injury as she went into the ring post a little

04:32bit ago trying to fight back against the champ.

04:35Trying to get some life back in that left arm and again, not able-

04:40My goodness.

04:40To deliver a suplex there and Becky went right back for the bad arm.

04:43Whatever the ring post began, I think Becky Lynch just finished.

04:47Rolls through, looking for- There it is.

04:49Arm bar, arm bars in.

04:50Becky with the arm bar in, Natalya trying to block, but how much can it?

04:53Becky wisely goes for the injured arm.

04:57Becky trying to use, there it is, there.

04:58Natty's in all types of trouble right now.

05:00Natalya again trying to, and great move there to turn it into a pinning combination.

05:05And Becky still with the arm locked in.

05:09Well if Becky can pass Natalya's shoulder under Natty's own chin,

05:12have more of a triangle circumstance here.

05:14The arm bar doesn't have, she doesn't have full extension on Natalya's left arm.

05:19Natalya trying to fight through this.

05:24Natalya trying to fight through.

05:27Natty's a double tough woman.

05:32Does she have it in her, my goodness.

05:34Powering Becky up, delivering that spine buster and forces the break.

05:40I think the damage is done, Cole.

05:42Yeah, Natalya in serious pain here.

05:48Trying to dig down deep.

05:49You see the look of concern on the face of Maxine Dupree on the outside.

05:54Feet off adrenaline perhaps as Natalya uses her good arm.

05:58Well placed elbow, kicked in the midsection.

06:00Becky misses wildly.

06:01Natalya with a snapmare.

06:02Here we go.

06:03And right there, classic Natalya.

06:06Boom.

06:07Boot to the face of the champion.

06:09Maddie looking for the sharpshooter.

06:11Trying to step through.

06:13And look at Becky going right for the injured arm.

06:17Smart move by Lynch.

06:19Great move by the champion.

06:21Veteran defense from the Intercontinental Champion.

06:24Good God.

06:26That discus clothesline, shades of her dad, cover now.

06:29Hook to the leg, kick out by Lynch.

06:31That clothesline nearly took Becky Lynch Queen out of her boots.

06:35Let's take another look at this.

06:36You talk about digging down deep, Cole.

06:39Natty brought that clothesline from the depths of hell.

06:41Yeah, now the champ's in trouble.

06:43Becky wisely moves out to the apron.

06:44Again, you can see the concern on the face of Maxine Dupree.

06:54The confusion on the face of Tozawa, that's sort of his M.O.

07:00Becky.

07:03Wiping out Maxine.

07:08Here comes the man.

07:09And now we'll wipe it out Tozawa with a baseball slide.

07:12Natalya looking to take advantage.

07:14She's gonna steal it.

07:17And a kick out.

07:17Becky turns it into a penny combination.

07:19Almost had her kick out again by Natalya.

07:23Natalya into the second rope.

07:24Natalya almost utilized the exact same strategy that she fell to at Triple Mania.

07:31And again, Becky just-

07:33Goodness, right back to the bad arm.

07:40And Becky now with the disarmer.

07:42Just stop it.

07:42Come on now.

07:43The disarmer on the bad arm of Natalya.

07:47Now he's risking permanent damage here.

07:48Well, Natalya trying to stay in this, trying to stay alive.

07:52But she's gotta tap out.

07:53She had no choice.

07:54All right, Becky, enough is enough.

07:58The bell rang.

07:59The match is over.

08:00Now Maxine gonna try to separate Becky Lynch and finally does.

08:06But has the damage been done to Natalya?

08:08Here is your winner by submission.

08:13And still, the Women's Intercontinental Champion.

08:18Now look at this, Becky from behind.

08:22It wasn't enough she injured Natalya.

08:24It wasn't enough she won.

08:26Now the disarmer on Maxine.

08:27And here comes Nikki Bella.

08:36The woman who was embarrassed by Becky Lynch a couple of weeks ago.

08:40And Nikki taking the fight to the champion.

08:42The Hall of Famer issuing a beat down to the Intercontinental Champion.

08:46Becky trying to fight back and Nikki Bella unloading on Becky.

08:50This rivalry has gotten extremely personal in record time.

08:55And Nikki goes Becky, back attack 2.0 by Nikki Bella to the champion.

09:03Wow, that's how you make a statement.

09:13Becky Lynch went a bit too far tonight and paid for it.

09:20Let's go for it.

09:30Let's go for it.
