00:00WWE history embarrassing, Kiana James.

00:03Kiana James has got some very powerful friends in high places.

00:06I don't want to be the one catching the wrath, okay?

00:13And this is for the United States Championship.

00:16Meechin seeking her first title here in WWE, former TNA Impact Knockout Champion.

00:24Let's not forget that Meechin actually advanced all the way to the final

00:27to crown the first ever Women's United States Champion.

00:30And this match is presented by the refreshing taste of Twisted Tea, Hard Ice Tea.

00:34Please drink responsibly.

00:35Kiana James wasting absolutely no time trying to get involved.

00:39Still technically isn't breaking any rules.

00:42And again, Meechin.

00:44Flurry of strikes from both women.

00:46Meechin getting the best of this exchange.

00:47Kicking Julia all the way out to the floor.

00:49She's upset as well after that attack by Julia after the matchup last week

00:53and now taking the fight to the champion.

00:57I caught up with Kiana James earlier today and asked her the exact nature

01:01of the relationship between herself and Julia.

01:05And she said this is a, quote, mutually beneficial partnership.

01:09I'm ashamed in the business world, Julia is a shark inside the ring.

01:14We can both teach one another a lot.

01:16Yeah, but right now it's Meechin, the one that's smelling blood.

01:20And Julia right through the second rope to the floor.

01:24What is happening, Zach?

01:26Here comes Meechin looking to push the pace, taking high risk.

01:30Went for the baseball slide, intercepted by Julia.

01:32Now beautiful madness.

01:33Julia, the United States Champion.

01:35Oh!

01:35With a neckbreaker to the floor.

01:39Julia takes over.

01:41That's what I like to see.

01:42That's what I like to see.

01:44And again, Corey, tell us a little bit about the dangerous United States Champion, Julia.

01:56Why the opportunity to call most of Julia's tenure in NXT,

02:01where she captured the NXT Women's Championship.

02:04Had some absolute classic matches there.

02:06This woman is considered one of, if not the best female competitor in the world.

02:11It's why she was so highly recruited by WWE.

02:14And she wasted little to no time making her imprint on this industry.

02:18It made an impact in Japan.

02:21World Wonder Ring stardom won many titles there.

02:24And just boosted her stock as she came to NXT.

02:28And now, Friday night SmackDown.

02:29Oh!

02:30Missile dropkick by Julia.

02:32And Meechin's in trouble.

02:32And here's the cover by the United States Champion in a kickout.

02:37However, if we're being totally honest,

02:38not unlike many other superstars who have come to WWE highly touted,

02:42there's a bit of a learning curve.

02:43It takes time to adjust to find exactly where you fit in,

02:46which may be one of the many reasons that Julia has aligned herself with Kiana James.

02:50Well, Julia, letting out some of that pent-up aggression here tonight against Meechin.

02:57Big shot drives Meechin back to the ropes.

03:00And for someone like Meechin, just another big opportunity to try to win your first gold here in WWE.

03:06And that puts a lot of pressure on yourself as well.

03:08No doubt about it.

03:10Meechin, to this point in her WWE career, has always been the proverbial bridesmaid, never the bride.

03:15But that continues to drive Meechin.

03:17She constantly adds new wrinkles to her game.

03:20Tries to improve herself each time out.

03:22She could find herself in United States gold around her waist in a matter of minutes.

03:25A smile on her face.

03:26The champ now with a boot to the face of Meechin.

03:30And Kiana James just talking trash to the number one contender.

03:37Julia is absolutely relentless.

03:40She is ruthless.

03:40Oh, look at that.

03:42Driving Meechin face first.

03:44Cover again by the champ.

03:46And a kick out.

03:47Julia possesses such a diverse array of offensive maneuvers.

04:02She can strike.

04:03She can make you submit.

04:06She can take to the air when necessary.

04:07I'm trying to turn Meechin over into a submission move here.

04:18Julia looking to scissor the left arm of Meechin.

04:24As James looks on, Julia trying to tap Meechin here to keep the championship.

04:28A bit of a modification on their Rings of Saturn submission.

04:31And look at Julia just trying to pry the jaw of Meechin wide open.

04:35And now ripping at the nose and the face.

04:38And again, this is that danger.

04:39The aggressiveness of Julia the champion.

04:42Not only the aggression, but the intelligence of Julia.

04:45Notice she's trying to obscure the referee's view of what she's doing to Meechin's face.

04:50Utilizing her own body, but Meechin able to counter.

04:53Great counter by Meechin.

04:54Forced the break.

04:56And Julia goes right back on the attack.

04:58Big strike right on the jaw of the challenger.

05:02Julia went for the burp.

05:03Oh, goodness.

05:04Good Lord.

05:07Julia driven forehead first into the canvas.

05:10What a counter by Meechin.

05:12And she's got an opportunity here against the champ.

05:19And now Julia and Meechin pounded away on each other here.

05:23United States Championship on the line.

05:25Julia the champ, Meechin the challenger.

05:27Now headbutts delivered.

05:28Those heavy rights were landing from Meechin.

05:31But Julia able to turn the tides with a series of headbutts.

05:34But just got her own brain scrambled.

05:37Meechin misses wildly Julia now.

05:39Oh, German suplex drops her on the back of her neck.

05:41Uh-oh.

05:43A little fighting spirit from Meechin.

05:45And Meechin delivers one of her own.

05:48Shannon toe-to-toe with the United States Champion.

05:51Oh, God.

05:54This just strikes from both women landing simultaneously.

05:58Ooh.

05:59Both women down.

06:02This is for the United States Championship.

06:05Julia and Meechin here tonight.

06:07Sold-out crowd at the All-State Arena in Chicago.

06:13Looking on.

06:1416,678 on hand.

06:23You like to call this a pivotal point in the matchup, Michael Cole.

06:27Could boil down to which of these two women has more gas left in the tank.

06:30Overhead kick by Meechin.

06:32Takes down the champion.

06:33And maybe Meechin who is gaining the upper hand here.

06:36Julia in the corner in trouble.

06:38Meechin.

06:38Oh, cannonball into the corner.

06:40Dragging the champ back toward the center of the ring.

06:42Stacks her up for the title.

06:44And a kick out by Julia at two.

06:46Absolutely brutal impact on the cannonball from Meechin.

06:50You can see the way that Julia's head whipped back.

06:53Like a whiplash effect.

06:54Now Meechin going for eight defeat, which is her finishing maneuver.

06:58But Julia able to counter.

07:01She'll be looking for a Northern Lights ball.

07:02Oh, and connects cover.

07:04Is it enough to retain the championship?

07:06And Meechin kicks out.

07:09Sit-out driver by Julia.

07:14Extremely effective, but not enough to end the matchup.

07:18Now the well-placed kick by the champion.

07:22And another one to Meechin.

07:23Look at the confidence now just oozing from Julia.

07:26It's like she's daring Meechin to fight back.

07:28Yeah, but Meechin is fighting back.

07:29And now the champ's in trouble.

07:30Meechin lifting her up.

07:32And taking her down.

07:34The sit-out powerbomb cover for the title.

07:37Julia kicks it two.

07:41Kiana James extremely upset after that near fall.

07:45Well, now James again trying to cause the distraction and whipping Julia into the second rope.

07:54And Meechin now going to make Kiana James pay.

07:57Face first, bounced off the mat.

08:00But Julia with a running knee.

08:02Julia with the Eriva Durche for the victory and to retain the championship.

08:09Here is your winner.

08:11And still women's United States champion, Julia!

08:19Well, the distraction by Kiana James paid off.

08:23Julia hitting Eriva Durche to pick up the victory and retain the United States women's championship.

08:32Oh, and now Kiana James obviously still upset after she was embarrassed last week in about three seconds by Meechin.

08:40And James finally being hauled away by the official Daphne LaShawn.

08:48A budding relationship, but mutually beneficial nonetheless.

08:52Big win for the United States champion, Julia.

08:56And her official representation, Kiana.
