00:00How we've arrived at this point.
00:02Yeah, so this was last week on SmackDown's.
00:04Piper Niven taking on Alexa Bliss.
00:06Chelsea Green stuck a nose in.
00:09And Charlotte Flair ran some interference,
00:11allowing a quick roll-up for Bliss.
00:14But then, all hell broke loose post-match with a secret Hervis,
00:19slowly but surely using the numbers game to take down the tag champs one by one.
00:26And this was the piece de resistance,
00:28once a one, two whammy from Fire and Niven,
00:31crushing Bliss and leaving her not medically cleared to be here this week.
00:37But there is the Queen.
00:41We mentioned this rebirth of happiness and adoration from the fans
00:47with everything she has done in her magnificent career
00:50and capped especially most recently with Alexa Bliss.
00:55Greatest resume of all time.
00:58And I'll tell you what's fascinating.
00:59It shows you how much the bond between Flair and Bliss has grown.
01:04Flair is now out here potentially in a three-on-one situation
01:08in order to seek vengeance on behalf of a tag partner,
01:13who we don't call a friend, but that is a risk nobody is going to take
01:17unless you have a really deep friendship with somebody.
01:27Piper Niven on the other hand had to witness her boss Chelsea Green get kicked a couple of weeks ago
01:34and one of the miscreants involved in that was Charlotte Flair.
01:38So now this might be...
01:40That was a spectacular counter of her own signature move.
01:45Look at Charlotte right back with the kip up to her feet and she mockingly salutes.
01:50Of course you would have enjoyed the caking, Joe Tess.
01:53You've never been shy to hide your bias.
01:55I mean let's just call it like it is.
01:57It's a situation where Chelsea Green is going for the unprettier
02:00and somehow the skill and athleticism of Charlotte Flair puts her in position to counter it
02:06with her own signature move and thus land right in the cake.
02:11Do you know what pink icing goes to a complexion versus this?
02:15It can give you a nasty breakout.
02:18Show the reaction?
02:20Here's Charlotte going up top.
02:22The cross body from up high, looking to close it out quickly and Piper survives it.
02:31Charlotte Flair absolutely back to her best after a torrid starter this year.
02:36It really has been the absent Alexa Bliss that has helped pull Charlotte out of the funk
02:42and back to winning ways and things are starting to look bleak here.
02:45And look at immediately Chelsea has to get up on the apron, disrupt the rhythm of the match
02:51and that creates an opportunity for Piper Niven.
02:53Yeah, pays to have friends in this game and oh!
02:56Ball slam slam!
02:58Piper hooks the leg.
03:01I prefer to call that one the winds of change Joe Tess but regardless of this Piper
03:05Niven in full control man, salute!
03:17Back here in Ireland, the three arena. Dublin is rocking tonight.
03:22The road to the clash in Paris and getting a good contested match here
03:27between Piper Niven and Charlotte Flair.
03:30Oh, run right into the post by Alba Fire.
03:32That was just like an action replay of the post-match brawl last week that took down Charlotte Flair.
03:42Chelsea's asking, call the action Joe Tess.
03:45I'm trying to do my job.
03:48She's constantly berating us.
03:50Your job is to stay neutral.
03:52There's no need for that.
03:54It is awfully warm in here Piper Niven.
03:57It is.
03:58It's a real lack of air conditioning in Europe.
04:00I complain about it every time but no one listens, do they?
04:02I gotta have a hug, babe.
04:04I love you, Joe.
04:05Yeah.
04:07We all love you, Chelsea.
04:10It's just this guy.
04:11It just never stops.
04:16It never, ever stops.
04:18We're gonna fix you, Joe Tess.
04:19We're gonna fix you.
04:21We're gonna fix you.
04:22We need to appreciate the merits of Chelsea Green and the secret herders.
04:28AKA the lovely ladies.
04:31Never seen anything like it.
04:32How far we're living to go with this group.
04:33I can respect Tyler.
04:34Been around this game a long time.
04:35A lot gets past me, Joe.
04:36Charlotte, able to get back to her feet and free herself from Piper.
04:51Yeah, no easy task with the power and strength of Piper Niven trying to get any space at this
04:57point when you've been battered around the ring.
04:59Oh, wow.
05:02Running crossbody.
05:04And Charlotte gets the right shoulder free.
05:07Just absolute bone crushing offense from Piper Niven doing what she does best.
05:13What a blend of power, speed and veteran wiles.
05:16Charlotte Flair needing all the help she can get from this sold out arena here.
05:28in Dublin.
05:29But essentially in a three on one environment and things are looking bleak.
05:33Cannonball.
05:34Moments ago Piper Niven delivering the cannonball right into the corner against Charlotte Flair.
05:48As Piper has been in control now.
05:50As you see the other half of the Secret Herbis as well as their leader Chelsea Green.
05:55Alda and Chelsea out at ringside.
05:58Piper Niven has been committing grievous bodily harm to Charlotte Flair and is now breaking Flair down.
06:06Oh, Charlotte able to roll out of the way.
06:09Just cannot leave Charlotte Flair that much time to bounce back.
06:13And those Flair chops in the midst of a rally.
06:24Every one of those chops razor sharp and pinpoint accurate on the walkover clothesline.
06:31An ability to turn a match on a sixpence.
06:35Nobody does it better than Charlotte Flair.
06:38Landing the big boot as well.
06:40Flair with the sustained offensive attack.
06:44Dropping the powerhouse Niven who has no clue where she's at right now.
06:49And Chelsea Green on the outside is in panic mode.
06:52Chelsea Green has got a busy weekend ahead.
06:55She's going to be part of NXT heat wave back in Massachusetts on Sunday.
07:00Knicks tag team teaming up with Ethan Page, the North American champion.
07:04Oh, Flair gets it right to Chelsea.
07:08A little vulgar if you ask me.
07:10And unnecessary, but right now going in for the kill is the barrier smashing game changing queen of this industry.
07:19Moonsault Charlotte Flair.
07:21How about it?
07:23Owen Piper.
07:24Well, give credit where it is due for Piper Niven.
07:28A woman who is criminally underappreciated at times.
07:32To kick out from this.
07:34Pinpoint accurate.
07:36Perfectly executed moonsault.
07:39From the greatest in history.
07:41But.
07:42Going in for that figure eight perhaps.
07:44But Piper was just.
07:45Oh, spear.
07:46The spear.
07:47Into the cover.
07:48Hook in the leg.
07:49Could she put it away?
07:50No.
07:51It is the Charlotte Flair greatest hits here.
07:53But Piper Niven has been equal to it.
07:56But softened up now.
07:57Middle of the ring.
07:59Oh, she's looking for a second attempt at locking in the leg lock.
08:02But Chelsea.
08:03No.
08:04Gets up on the apron and Charlotte clears her.
08:06Charlotte took care of her.
08:08And now there's the leg lock.
08:09But elbows up distracting the ref.
08:11Oh, and she's raking her face.
08:14She had the submission locked in.
08:16And all of a sudden Chelsea Green rakes the face on the squash.
08:21Are you kidding me?
08:22Are you kidding me?
08:23Are you kidding me?
08:24And now Piper.
08:26It's a new driver.
08:28Flair had this thing put away.
08:30Come on Wade.
08:32Here is your winner, Piper Niven.
08:43All you can say is wow.
08:46All you can say is what we saw.
08:49Chelsea Green went into the ring with a face rake of Charlotte Flair
08:55when she was in the midst of landing that figure eight leg lock.
09:00And Piper wins it.
09:02A huge victory.
