Transcript
00:00And her opponent from Pryor Lake,
00:10Minnesota, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton.
00:26And the sold-out universe inside the Scope Arena have their phones out taking a look
00:32at a woman who has not tasted defeat this year.
00:37And Book, I got to give you credit where credit is due.
00:39Who was that?
00:40You knew that she was going to be a champion.
00:42You knew she was going to be successful.
00:44There is no surprise at how fast Tiffany Stratton has rived to the top.
00:49That's right. I always said Tiffany Stratton was special.
00:52Let me tell you something.
00:53She stepped in here and spacked down and she went past the moon, man,
00:58grabbed that championship and went straight to the nebula, baby.
01:02Oh, yes, man.
01:04I'm also glad you took your blood pressure medication
01:06because earlier this week on NXT, we saw Tiffany Stratton
01:10along with Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vicar.
01:12Those three women are going to go along with Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vicar.
01:15Those three women are going to face fatal influence at NXT Homecoming this upcoming Tuesday on NXT.
01:21But right now it's all about the WWE Women's Championship.
01:25It's going to be good, man. I mean, I've been waiting and anticipating this matchup here tonight.
01:30What is Jade going to have to do, though, to dethrone the champion,
01:34to not have the same mistake from what happened at MetLife Stadium in SummerSlam?
01:39You're going to have to stay, boys. Do not make those same mistakes.
01:41Stay away from the ropes, especially when you're going for a cover.
01:44I mean, that was just a rookie. I cannot say it was a rookie mistake.
01:48It was a rookie mistake.
01:50Jade Cargill showing that power, which is so impressive.
01:52And, oh, just catching Stratton again.
01:55And Jade Cargill coming into tonight not playing games.
01:58Oh, yes.
01:59Tiffany Stratton, look, look, listen to this resume of women Stratton has defeated.
02:02Nia Jax, Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
02:06Jade wants also Bayley.
02:08But right now, Jade Cargill not thinking about the past, just thinking about the here and the now.
02:12But that is a who's who in the WWE.
02:15Big power slam.
02:16Tiffany just got going to be power slam.
02:18Cover of the matchup, title on the line, and a kick out.
02:20Let me tell you what that does for Tiffany Stratton.
02:22It gives her that cloak, that cloak of invincibility.
02:25When you know you beat them all, you know you can do it again.
02:29That's what Tiffany is, is Tiffy time.
02:32Well, Tiffy time could be up if Jade Cargill has her way here tonight.
02:35And again, that power, looking for the suplex.
02:37Nice counter.
02:38Did you see the knee from Tiffany Stratton, which rocked Jade Cargill back with?
02:41Jade Cargill backwards.
02:42She lost her balance, and now Stratton trying to take full advantage.
02:45Taking down the challenger, into the cover, and Cargill able to kick out.
02:49That's the growth of Tiffany Stratton, I mean, from NXT.
02:51I mean, what has been a year?
02:54A little bit more than that.
02:55But what has impressed you the most with Stratton since winning the championship?
02:58Well, I mean, her confidence seems like it has risen.
03:01Oh, yes!
03:02So much.
03:03And the thing is, you look at Tiffany Stratton, you think she's just a pretty face.
03:06But I'm gonna tell you, inside that square circle, she's good.
03:09Is Tiffy time going to continue on SmackDown?
03:16It's a perfect match.
03:17Whoever you're watching around the world, the WWE Women's Championship is on the line.
03:33The champion Tiffany Stratton, the challenger Jade Cargill.
03:35Jade Cargill, this a rematch from Super Slam.
03:37And that was a superplex from Jade to Tiffany.
03:42That's what Jade is going to have to do.
03:44Keep landing big shots right there.
03:46Try to separate Tiffany from her senses because it's going to take a big shot.
03:51Look, and no disrespect to Jade either.
03:53She was crowned queen of the ring this past June.
03:56She knows how to handle the high-pressure situations.
04:00Yeah, but the thing is, Victor, being under the bright lights,
04:02I mean, that pressure is something that is unpalpable.
04:06And the thing is, Jade Cargill, she's handling it,
04:09but it's a hell of a lot of competition here in the WWE.
04:18Sold out WWE Universe counting alongside Jade Cargill.
04:22But look, she told the official, I got five.
04:24She knows the rules.
04:25And at this point, as you've said before, you got to bend them.
04:28Just don't break them because you got to do whatever is necessary.
04:32Look here, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying to.
04:35I respect Jade Cargill for taking those extra couple of seconds, man.
04:40I respect that.
04:41When you're talking about respect, do you agree with Jade that it's fantasy
04:45if people think her and Stratton are on the same level
04:48because Tiffany Stratton-Booker is the one with the championship?
04:51I was just going to say, who's got to go?
04:52That's what I'm thinking.
04:53He or she who has to go makes all the rules, right?
04:58Right?
04:59And has all the power, right?
05:00That too.
05:01That too.
05:01You see?
05:02Jade now going to the outside.
05:03Got to remember, though, title can only change hands.
05:05Pinfall submission inside the ring.
05:08And Jade now continuing to apply the offensive pressure.
05:12This is about using a little bit of the furniture right now,
05:15trying to soften Tiffany Stratton up for the long haul.
05:18That's what this is about, Vic.
05:20You talk about Tiffany Stratton since her arrival.
05:22How impressive have you been with Jade Cargill
05:24since she arrived on the scene here in WWE?
05:27I mean, Jade Cargill said it herself.
05:29She was one step away from becoming the WWE champion.
05:32I'm so impressed with Jade Cargill.
05:34Like I say, she's a specimen.
05:36Anywhere in the world, Jade Cargill's a major, major, mega star, baby.
05:41And she's got to be sick and tired of hearing people talk about Tiffany Stratton.
05:44Tiffany Stratton, of course, has yet to lose a match this year.
05:47The closest she came, arguably, is what we just relived.
05:52SummerSlam.
05:53Yeah, but you can talk about it.
05:54You can talk about it.
05:55But this bitch is about going out there and doing something about it.
05:59Like that right there, baby.
06:01Oh, yes.
06:02Trying to follow up, but got caught.
06:04Oh, boss woman slam.
06:06I love it.
06:06Is it enough?
06:07And Stratton's left shoulder just off the mat.
06:11Jade should have hooked the leg right there.
06:12That could have been a three count.
06:13Jade Cargill continuing now, right back to work, wearing down Tiffany Stratton.
06:20Not allowing any separation.
06:22Does not want to have a mental mistake in this matchup like she had at SummerSlam.
06:27Which, by the way, she has admitted to.
06:29She made one error in that matchup.
06:31She's trying to right or wrong here tonight.
06:33Blowing it down a bit.
06:35Leading on the body of Tiffany Stratton right now.
06:38Who will walk out WWE Women's Champion?
06:43It's the second championship match of the night.
06:50Here on SmackDown, we are sold out at the Scope Arena.
06:55And Jade Cargill, the challenger, has been taking it to Tiffany Stratton.
06:59Stratton, who is the longest current champion in the WWE.
07:02This is her eighth championship defense.
07:05Her second against Jade.
07:06And nobody home.
07:07Stratton now trying to turn things around.
07:09And, whoa, wow.
07:11Somewhat of a spine buster out of the corner.
07:14Tiffany Stratton one step ahead of Jade Cargill at this point in this matchup.
07:19Cargill was named the number one contender after she and Stratton were victorious as a team.
07:23The champion said Jade should be thanking her for allowing Cargill to win that matchup on that night.
07:30That is what has led to this championship encounter.
07:33Charging in and, whoa, going up.
07:37Oh, whoa.
07:38Oh, going way up.
07:39Counter.
07:40That was a counter for a counter.
07:42Stratton.
07:43Tiffany Stratton is off the rip, man.
07:46She's incredible.
07:47Here we go.
07:48There's that gymnastics background with the elbow into the snapmare.
07:52Charging right back in.
07:54Bam.
07:54Oh, just about put her foot through the chest of Jade Cargill.
07:59Lights out, Jade Cargill right there.
08:01That was an impressive double boot there by Tiffany Stratton.
08:05Stratton looking to stay undefeated this year.
08:09All the way.
08:11Swan.
08:12Ton.
08:13Bomb.
08:14Will that be enough to retain the title?
08:16And Jade and Booker there.
08:19That right arm just got up.
08:21Take another look.
08:22Feel this impact.
08:24That was a shot right there.
08:25That was a shot right there.
08:26I thought it pretty much sealed the deal right there with the swan to the finishing.
08:31But Jade Cargill just slid out the side door right there.
08:35That was a lazy, lazy kick out.
08:38Still a kick out, though, Book.
08:39She's still in the matchup.
08:40She's still fighting.
08:42But right now, precarious position.
08:44Oh, able to counter.
08:45Oh, my gosh.
08:46Did you hear that super kick?
08:47Like you say, can't win outside of the ring, though.
08:49Certainly cannot.
08:50Oh, wait a minute.
08:52Going up.
08:52Oh, getting ripped right back.
08:54Down by Tiffany Stratton and the champion right now.
08:58Charging right in and just got caught.
09:03Overpowering is the challenger dropping the champion.
09:06And it's been an emotional rollercoaster of a 12-month period for Jade Cargill.
09:13Can she capitalize here tonight?
09:16Can she become the WWE Women's Champion?
09:19Pump kick.
09:20Did not connect.
09:21Sidestep back.
09:22Oh, look at the strip.
09:24Look at the strip, though, Tiffany.
09:26And here it comes.
09:27Looking for the prettiest moonsault ever.
09:29Not today.
09:30Not today.
09:30Not today.
09:34It is a time for Jade.
09:36And I mean like a superhero.
09:38Come to life.
09:39Planning the champion for the title.
09:41And oh, man.
09:44Near fall.
09:46Stay on the gas.
09:47Stay on the gas.
09:48Jade, you're so close.
09:50So very close.
09:51And now, take another look.
09:54Perfectly planning.
09:55Stratton.
09:56But still some fight left in the champion.
09:59And this goes back to SummerSlam.
10:01She's got to be picking that one little mistake.
10:03She's got to stay in the moment.
10:05She's got to stay focused.
10:07Thinking about that one mistake.
10:08This is a mistake right here.
10:09Wasting all this time.
10:10I mean, right now, Tiffany's in the perfect position.
10:15Answering right back.
10:16Both women.
10:18Stratton rolling through.
10:20Another near fall in this championship matchup.
10:22And right now, you talk about deep waters.
10:24These two women are getting into those deep waters.
10:27These are the moments that define greatness.
10:30Alabama slamming Virginia.
10:32Got all of it.
10:33Stratton looking for it.
10:35Oh, baby.
10:36Pretty smooth saw.
10:37Had to roll right through.
10:38Jade was able to counter.
10:39Pump kick.
10:41Both women down.
10:43So much taken out of both.
10:44With the title on the line.
10:46The universe is split in this WWE Women's Championship matchup.
11:01Booker, this place is sold out.
11:03And it's rocking right now.
11:05It's all about checks, man.
11:06It's about checks and championships.
11:08And Jade Cargill.
11:09So close.
11:10So close.
11:11She's standing in the pocket right there, baby.
11:24Well, this is starting to break down.
11:25I was getting ready to ask you, who does a Slugfest favor?
11:27But I think we're starting to see the answer to that question.
11:33Another punk.
11:34Oh!
11:35Didn't connect.
11:35Jade able to hold on for a moment.
11:37And right back in.
11:38Jade has been able to stay one step ahead of the champion for the most part in this matchup.
11:42But right now, Jade, as both women outside the ring.
11:49Showing you the animosity on display between these two.
11:55I can tell you, Jade showed that she learned so much from that first encounter.
12:00Oh, no!
12:01Oh, no!
12:02Was that the mistake?
12:04What?
12:06Was that the mistake?
12:07It could have been a big mistake right there because she took all that.
12:10Tiffany following up again.
12:11Wow!
12:13Can't win it out there, though.
12:15Certainly cannot put...
12:18Let's go through Stratton's mind right now, Booker.
12:20Doesn't matter if champion's advantage, no matter what happened here tonight, Vic.
12:24The thing in right here, she's still champ.
12:28Missed it!
12:29She certainly did.
12:31Hard landing for Tiffany.
12:33And oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!
12:37The challenger just ran the champion, and the referee with the count!
12:46The referee with the count!
12:49Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has counted out both superstars.
12:54This match has been ruled a draw.
12:58Therefore...
12:58Holy hell!
13:02That's Nia Jax!
13:03Oh, baby!
13:05Here we go!
13:07And both these women, both Jane Cargill and Tiffany Stratton, so much has been taken out of these women.
13:13And now it's Nia Jax who's here picking up the scraps.
13:16Business just picked up.
13:18Business just picked up.
13:18Business just picked up big time.
13:22Oh, yeah!
13:23Oh!
13:31Nia!
13:31Taking out the competition.
13:35Certainly showing she is indeed the irresistible force!
13:40That monster, baby!
13:42That monster!
13:43I love it!
13:45Oh, this is wrong, Book.
13:47These two just had a great matchup.
13:48It's about business, man.
13:49It's wrong!
13:50This is about business.
13:51This is about payback.
13:53Retribution.
13:55All of that.
13:55An annihilator to the champion.
14:04And what it's all about for that woman is once again being the WWE Women's Champion.
14:12Nia Jax shows her dominance tonight.
