00:00Injury over the last few days, she has not medically cleared to compete here tonight
00:05for what was supposed to be the WWE Speed Championship.
00:09That being said, Sol Ruka will still defend that championship here tonight.
00:30And look, for Sol Ruka, I bring that up because so late today, not to be medically cleared
00:37to compete for Laney Reed, Sol still wanted to defend this championship.
00:44It's very interesting to see who she will defend it against, but for Sol Ruka, I mean,
00:49hats off, right?
00:50Because there's no way, there's no way she's prepared, so what would be going through her
00:54mind?
00:55Do you feel like she is just that damn good, Victor?
00:59That's the only reason you do something like that, man.
01:02As I mentioned, Sol wanted to defend the title, our general manager put it out there.
01:09Who wants to step up to the plate?
01:11Get some, won't some.
01:12They better be picking up bad to pick some.
01:14Who wants to challenge for the Speed Championship?
01:17I wouldn't finish, man.
01:19Jacked.
01:20We're about to find out.
01:25Oh, did you see the eyes of Sol Ruka?
01:32This woman's got to be feeling lucky.
01:41This must have been the first person to respond to our general manager for this golden championship
01:48opportunity.
01:49Opportunity.
01:50Opportunity is right, man.
01:53You know, sometimes you win by attrition.
01:56That's Jada Parker.
01:57Well, let's remind everyone this is a championship match.
02:00It has a five-minute time limit.
02:03As you see, no decision in five minutes.
02:05The champion will retain Sol Ruka, Jada Parker for the Women's Speed Championship.
02:12Let's go up to Mike Rohn.
02:14The following contest is a Speed Championship match with a five-minute time limit.
02:23And it is for the Women's Speed Championship.
02:32Introducing the challenger from Port St. Lucie, Florida, Jada Parker.
02:47And her opponent from Honolulu, Hawaii.
02:52She is the NXT Women's North American and the Women's Speed Champion, Sol Ruka!
03:08We see Zari out here alongside Sol.
03:11Of course, he had a little friendly argument, so to speak.
03:14Sol accidentally hit her with the Sol Snatcher, if you remember, several weeks back.
03:18But it is all about the Speed Championship.
03:20History being made right here, right now.
03:24Sold out in Fort Lauderdale.
03:25This is the first time a WWE Speed Championship will be defended on a premium live event.
03:31For Sol Ruka, proud double champion, winning his superstar in NXT this year.
03:36Gets Parker down quickly, four seconds into the matchup.
03:39Shipped for the weight by Parker.
03:40And again, it's all about who can beat the clock, who can be the fastest.
03:43It's all about speed.
03:45It's all about speed.
03:46I mean, you can't waste any time in a match like this.
03:48And let me tell you something right now about Sol Ruka.
03:51Oh, wow.
03:52She's a double champion.
03:53And right now, she had that quote of invincibility.
03:55So it's gonna be hard.
03:56It's gonna be hard for Jada tonight.
03:58Lone Rosses to Chelsea Green for the Women's United States title.
04:01That's just further proof of Sol Ruka that she is battle-tested this year.
04:05163 days as Speed Champion.
04:07160 days as the Women's North American Champion.
04:1030 seconds already off the clock.
04:12Jada Parker trying to regroup.
04:13Sol right now.
04:14Oh, yes!
04:15Top the hat down.
04:16Not allowing any room for Jada Parker to breathe and then mocking the challenger.
04:22He's all about speed right now.
04:25Sol Ruka's all about speed right now.
04:27Zarya's out here giving high fives.
04:29Seems like everything is all under control.
04:31Wait a minute.
04:32That was smart.
04:33That was smart right there.
04:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:36Nice baseball slide though.
04:37Got countered.
04:38Got caught.
04:39Oh, yes!
04:40And then a big right from Jada Parker.
04:41And this must be playing into Jada's, obviously, her mindset in this matchup.
04:45Maybe her strategy.
04:46She knew she was competing.
04:47I don't necessarily know.
04:48Sold it.
04:49But jumping off that bottom rope right into the throat.
04:52Making it hard for Sol to breathe.
04:53Into the cover.
04:54Hook of the leg and a kick out.
04:55Let me tell you something.
04:56I think Jada Parker's the one that's really ready for this.
04:58Wait a minute.
04:59On the cover.
05:00She's ready for this moment.
05:01And I always say winning that first championship is the hardest one.
05:04If she could do that tonight, it could be, it could start something special, man.
05:07Nice counter for Sol and Sol right now.
05:09Oh, enemy.
05:10Backcracker.
05:11Backstabber.
05:12Nonetheless, it was effective.
05:14Looking for that Sol Snatcher.
05:15Parker, though, had it countered.
05:16Oh, yes.
05:17And Parker, a different style than Laney Reed as we got about two minutes off the clock.
05:23We're about to go, we're about to go high five, baby.
05:26Oh, yes, man.
05:27Let me see it.
05:28Oh, wait a minute.
05:29And look, she didn't high step because she knows she's got to beat the clock.
05:32I like that.
05:33She's got three minutes.
05:34I like that.
05:35To win this championship.
05:36Malcolm Arrow.
05:37Center of the ring.
05:38Will this be enough?
05:39Do we have a new Speed Champion and a kick out?
05:41We're in the middle of that John Cena retirement tour.
05:44It was back in No Mercy 2007.
05:46Had her relinquish the title due to a torn pectoral on that night.
05:50Three separate WWE Championship matches tonight.
05:53This is the first of four championship matches at No Mercy.
05:57Looking for that hypnotic.
05:58Got countered.
05:59Oh, wait a minute.
06:00Tilt to Whirl.
06:01Taking her down.
06:02Into the cover.
06:03Overpowering Jay to his soul.
06:04And another near fall.
06:05That was a great recovery there by Sol Luka.
06:07Tells me her IQ, her skill level has definitely risen.
06:11Oh, yes.
06:12Oh, yes.
06:13What a planted knee that was right to the chest.
06:16Again, smart there by Jay to Parker.
06:18The game was separation.
06:19Not getting caught with that soul snatcher.
06:21Oh!
06:22Oh, good.
06:23Sol Luka just got caught.
06:24Fell right back into the ring as we are about two minutes left.
06:28And for Jay to Parker, she knows this is that moment.
06:31She looked back and saw the clock.
06:33Two-minute warning right now for the challenger.
06:36Big knee right to the face.
06:38Sol hit that DDT.
06:40And now she gets to keep a little bit of life left in this matchup.
06:43Into the cover in her own right center of the ring.
06:45And near fall to retain.
06:47But look, if the clock strikes zero, Sol Luka retains her championship.
06:51The champion's advantage going into a matchup like this.
06:53I mean, but I don't think that's the way Sol Luka wants to win.
06:56Sol wants to prove that she is truly one of the best in the women's division.
07:00If not the best in the women's division.
07:0290 seconds left in this speed championship matchup.
07:05You can feel the tension starting to rise.
07:08Here amongst all the members of the W.
07:10Oh, yes.
07:12And almost so wisely rolling to the outside.
07:16And that's going to waste a little bit more time in every second.
07:19So crucial here in this speed matchup as you're looking right now.
07:2370 seconds.
07:2470 seconds left in this matchup.
07:26And both superstars are right out here in front of us.
07:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
07:30If you're the champ, you definitely want to try to stretch down.
07:3360 seconds, boy.
07:35In that time as much as you possibly can.
07:36160 seconds.
07:37Here we go.
07:38Oh, man.
07:3955 seconds and counting.
07:40Wow, a little time right there.
07:41Sol's not too eager to try to do anything, but here we go.
07:46Sol able to roll right through, but there's only 45 seconds.
07:49Bib Hicknotic.
07:50She got her.
07:51But Jada's got to get her back in the ring.
07:52Damn, get it out here, man.
07:54Gotta get her back in the ring.
07:55Here we go.
07:5635 seconds is left.
07:58Don't worry about Zarya.
07:59Jada, you gotta get in the damn ring.
08:0133 seconds.
08:02Oh, no.
08:04Lash Legend.
08:08Lash just got dropped by the spear.
08:10Zarya took out Lash.
08:1221 seconds.
08:13We're down inside the final 20.
08:15Oh, Ruka snatches the soul of Miss Parker.
08:25Here is your winner, and still, the women's speed champion,
08:32Sol Ruka.
08:36First and foremost, Lash Legend had no business being out here.
08:40Jada Parker's just as confused and angry as anyone else
08:43that she has the right to be, but at the end of the...
