Transcript

00:00First, the challenger to my right.

00:03She is a 10-year pro, standing at 5'7",

00:08hailing from somewhere better than you.

00:13She is the only Grand Slam winner in EVE history.

00:19She is the 2025 Ace of EVE.

00:23She is the star of the Nina Samuel Show.

00:27She is Nina Samuel.

00:42I'm the champion to my left.

00:46She is a 10-year pro, standing at 5'9",

00:52hailing from Long Island, New York, USA.

00:57She is the former AEW TBS champion

01:03and making her first title defence tonight,

01:09this is Chris St. Lander.

01:16That's a gorgeous championship belt that she's holding right there.

01:20First title defence.

01:22And it's going to be really interesting to see how both women approach this matchup.

01:28Both women used to having the strength advantage.

01:31It's interesting as well.

01:32It's like both 5'9", both 10-year pros,

01:36very evenly matched in that aspect.

01:38Absolutely.

01:40I've just noticed that Abby now has Nina Samuel's bottoms as well.

01:44Like, she is slowly cosplaying Nina.

01:46What do you mean that Abby is Nina Samuel's bottom?

01:49No, bottoms.

01:50Bottom, the trousers.

01:52Oh, right, okay.

01:53Yes.

01:53Like, there is...

01:56She is slowly cosplaying more and more into her idol, Nina Samuels.

02:01And like a magpie, if there's one thing that Nina Samuels loves, it's a bout.

02:17Yeah, well, at one time she held 10 championship titles

02:22from all around Europe at the very same time.

02:28Two of which were ours.

02:30She is the only person to have held both the EVE Championship

02:33and the EVE International Championship at the same time.

02:37And remember, this is another parallel, I want to say.

02:39Chris Statlander lost the AEW TBS Championship

02:44in a three-way where she was not pinned.

02:47Nina Samuels lost the EVE International Championship

02:50in a match where she was not pinned.

02:52And I'm not sure that's quite smart from Nina there.

02:56Paintbrush in Statlander.

02:57Statlander straight over.

03:00But is she trying to, you know...

03:01Nina always has a game plan.

03:03She does.

03:04But sometimes you wonder, is Nina's attitude getting away with herself

03:08or is she trying to make a mistake?

03:10It's hard to tell when it comes.

03:13Oh, absolutely.

03:13You know, Nina Samuels, you can learn Nina Samuels' offence,

03:16but her best manoeuvre, her biggest signature manoeuvre,

03:21is her mind games.

03:23Yes.

03:23Take it from me.

03:25Into a cover here, quick.

03:27Early cover there from Statlander.

03:30And keeping control of that wrist.

03:32Yeah, I believe you two went one-on-one here.

03:34Yeah, I believe so.

03:38Wrestled Nina many times, a very tough opponent.

03:41And even me, somebody who, you know, was partial to the odd mind game myself,

03:47you know, Nina would get in my head.

03:48Which I'm not ashamed to admit it.

03:52Beautiful headlock takeover there.

03:54And into the cover by Samuels.

03:59There's now both women to their feet.

04:01Nina's constantly trying to make sure that there's movement going.

04:03She's never letting Statlander, you know, hold a manoeuvre on top.

04:07No, but Statlander is quick.

04:11There's two arm drags in succession there, keeping hold of the arm here.

04:15Nina having a bit of fun here with you, Faithful.

04:19Oh, just digs that elbow to the ribs.

04:27Controlling with the wrist lock there on Nina Samuels.

04:30Oh, beautiful from Nina Samuels there, but unable to carry out that hip toss.

04:36What a strength of Statlander there.

04:39Oh, and look at that.

04:40Oh, she pays for it.

04:47Huge slam.

04:47Totally out of that.

04:49And listen, you know, Nina known for her strength, you know, and her power moves,

04:52but she's also extremely athletic because she takes another slam here.

04:58And Statlander having fun here in the big penny here tonight

05:00as the Eve Faithful ask for one more time.

05:04And they get it.

05:08Come on, Statlander, give us a shall I.

05:12You're in England now, love.

05:21And, you know, George saying here that Nina's paying for a show,

05:24but is Statlander going to do the same?

05:25And she does.

05:26She does, indeed.

05:27As Nina manages to roll out of the way,

05:29Statlander having too much fun here, taking too much time.

05:32And there's all that huge scissor kick to the back of the head.

05:35Yeah, and it looked like the forehead of Statlander also swiped again

05:39in the apron of the ring there on the outside.

05:41And it's keeping the pressure on.

05:46Sending Statlander off the apron onto that concrete floor.

05:49And there's the athleticism of Samuels.

05:51And maybe this is going to be Samuel's strategy here.

05:53She knows that potentially power-wise Statlander.

05:56Oh, wow.

05:58Oh, my gosh.

05:59Oh, wow.

06:01Okay, she is going home with significantly less hair

06:04than she entered the building earlier today.

06:05How is she going to pump up that quiff?

06:09She'll be livid.

06:11As she sent face-first into the ring apron here.

06:18Statlander.

06:19And again, you know, Samuel's there with that huge...

06:23I don't even know what you would call that.

06:24Like, that kick sending Statlander off the apron

06:27onto the concrete floor.

06:28Like, a normal opponent would have been down for a while with that,

06:30but not Chris Statlander.

06:32Straight to her feet and making Samuels pay for it.

06:35But now, Samuels doing the same to Statlander here on the outside.

06:41And again, you see the force that Samuels gets behind those kicks.

06:45That's not a standard kick.

06:46That hop-up, pulling back, getting that extra velocity,

06:48that extra torque on that kick.

06:50That poor ringside.

06:52That poor ringside.

06:53They're up and down like musical chairs.

06:55As Statlander sent it to the ring, but I'm not sure...

06:59Well, Samuels can't win the match on the outside.

07:01I'm not sure this is going to be the victory that Samuels thinks that it is,

07:04throwing, you know, creating that space between her and Statlander.

07:09No, it's not.

07:11Probably a mistake.

07:12Yeah, I would say it is taking that little bit of extra time

07:14to mock the faithful here in London, here in Walthamstow.

07:18And now just pulls her out the other side.

07:21Oh!

07:22Smaller the back run into that ring.

07:24And get your wrestling bingo cards out.

07:27That part of the ring has no protection, no padding.

07:30No, it's just a corner of wood.

07:32It's just wood to spine.

07:34Yeah.

07:34Oh, Samuels up, face first again, into that ring apron.

07:43And Statlander now taking a bit of time to regroup here on the outside.

07:47And what's she...

07:48Oh, bloody Abby.

07:49Abby?

07:49Where did she come from?

07:50Where did she come from?

07:51Oh, what a huge kick there from Samuels.

07:55Surely that should be a disqualification.

07:57She actually struck her.

08:00Like, where was Oscar?

08:02What was Oscar looking at?

08:03His shoe?

08:06I mean, Abby is so insignificant, maybe he didn't even see her.

08:11That is true.

08:11To be fair, I don't think you could see Abby behind Chris Statlander.

08:16Yeah.

08:20And thanks to Abby, Abby has been the difference maker.

08:23And now Nina Samuels pulling on the nose.

08:28And here she goes.

08:31Up to her old tricks again.

08:33And driving that shin and knee into the back.

08:39And now, you know, Nina Samuels firmly in control here.

08:42This is where she's comfortable.

08:44And we've seen this before as well.

08:46The crowd letting Nina Samuels know what they feel about her.

08:48Beautiful bow and arrow.

08:55And this is something...

08:56Oh, into the cover!

08:58And Stat is used to being the bigger person in the match as well and having a strength advantage.

09:03Probably not used to being put into submission holds like that.

09:05No.

09:06Nina Samuels, they're even.

09:07Both 5'9", as we said.

09:09Both 10-year pros.

09:10And that quick snap suplex there, rolling straight into the cover.

09:14And again, Samuels applying all of her weight onto the shoulders of Statlander there.

09:19Unable to get the three.

09:20But Statlander having to exert a lot of energy to be able to kick out of that here.

09:25As again, signature Nina Samuels here.

09:27And we know what she's going to go for next.

09:29As she drags Statlander up.

09:31And she's going to go for that.

09:32Minami Toyota-esque drop kick after punishing Statlander just that little bit more until the break.

09:39And here she goes.

09:40Classic Nina Samuels coming up.

09:42Nowhere to go for Statlander.

09:44And it's in the cover.

09:46Two.

09:54And you saw it was a folding press as well.

09:58Like, Nina Samuels made the most as this audience erupted to a Statlander chant.

10:03Getting behind their favorite in this match.

10:06Not an unusual place for Nina Samuels to find herself in.

10:10And Nina Samuels driving the face into the turnbuckle

10:38while pulling back on the mouth of those fish hooks.

10:41Oh my god, the power.

10:42And we spoke about this earlier.

10:44We are not used to seeing Chris Statlander in a position where she can be outpowered.

10:50Or at least evenly.

10:51At least not used to being thrown.

10:53With such velocity.

10:55And you see how Statlander tries to immediately separate some space.

11:09Samuels just drives in the inter and again just keeps trying to throw.

11:12Statlander tries to explode.

11:14Series of clotheslines.

11:16Took a little bit too long there.

11:22And Samuels makes her pay with that drop toe hold.

11:25Again.

11:27Double knees to the back.

11:28And you see Statlander really showing the pain in the small of her back.

11:41From this consistent attack from the former EVE champion, former EVE international champion,

11:50former EVE tag team champion, and the current 2025 Ace of EVE having won that biggest she

11:58won ever back in January.

12:01She mouths off to Statlander.

12:04I mean, this is great for Nina Samuels' ego.

12:06She knows if she's in a match with Chris Statlander, there is more eyes on the Nina Samuels show.

12:11And she is going to use it to her advantage.

12:15She loves the fact that everyone is seeing her do this right now to the former AEW TBS champion.

12:23Remember, going up.

12:25She's now going for that finish of her starstruck.

12:27She's going to try to twist it into the knee.

12:28No.

12:29Statlander counters.

12:30Power slam.

12:34Samuels arguably took too long showboating.

12:38Being proud of herself for having the attention on her and is made to pay for it.

12:44And both women are down.

12:46And Statlander has the opportunity to recover now.

12:50And potentially get a second win behind her.

12:53Whilst they dazed, dizzy, and in pain, Samuels eats a running uppercut.

13:00Samuels tried to block it.

13:02Didn't work.

13:04Blue Thunder.

13:05Gets the shoulder up, does Samuels.

13:10And it's interesting that you notice that Statlander is going straight for the heavy artillery straight away.

13:16She knows she is feeling pain in that back.

13:19She doesn't want to be in this match any longer than she has to.

13:23There's elements of desperation in Chris Statlander's moves right now and her actions.

13:29Gets caught.

13:30Going for the Nina Goroshi.

13:32That fireman's onto the fireman's carry onto the knee.

13:35Oh, trips up.

13:37Misses the moonsault though.

13:42And there's that make of Sadamora like dragging knee attack.

13:46You see the look on Samuels' face.

14:01After Statlander kicks out of that handspring knee attack.

14:05Statlander, Statlander, Statlander, Statlander, Statlander, Statlander tries to fire back.

14:15Nina meets her.

14:16Statlander not giving anything to Nina.

14:18Running, running savant kick there.

14:22Each one of her own.

14:24Statlander.

14:25Going for an axe pin to her own.

14:27I said there in many ways.

14:28Such mirroring images of one another.

14:31And nearly.

14:34So close.

14:35So close.

14:41Statlander, Samuels.

14:43Main event here.

14:44E!

14:44Strong women's style.

14:47This is a big time main event.

14:53With both Statlander and Nina fighting for it all.

14:57We are nearly 13 minutes deep into this match.

15:03But these two have gone at it like you.

15:05You would think they've been going at it for 30 minutes.

15:08With the way these two have been going.

15:10The heavy artillery that they've been hitting each other with.

15:14Backslide.

15:15Attempt.

15:21Nice trip there.

15:22Catches the legs.

15:25Slingshot attempt.

15:26Attempt.

15:27Eats the turnbuckle.

15:29Does Nina Samuels.

15:31And again, Statlander creates space between her and Samuels.

15:37I'm going to say to try to get a breath back after her standing so much earlier offense from Samuels.

15:43And Samuels goes shoulder first into that steel post.

15:48And some of you will know that Nina Samuels has a history of shoulder injuries.

15:52Actually, most recently was about 10 months ago in a match with Thunder Rosa.

15:58Chris Statlander's a compadre at AEW.

16:07And that may pay dividends for Chris Statlander.

16:12Statlander trying for that superplex, but Samuels.

16:22Wow.

16:22Going to a headbutt.

16:23You don't see that from Samuels that often.

16:24Abbey tries to get involved and it's enough to change the offense.

16:34Running like a bomb.

16:36Folks are over two and oh my gosh.

16:40It took everything that the champion had to roll that shoulder up.

16:46And speaking of shoulder, Samuels look like she's really struggling with that shoulder right now.

16:53How much of a game plan is Samuels going to have to change based on that?

17:01She's going to try to go for starstruck, but she can't.

17:04You saw her grab that shoulder.

17:06Jackknife pin.

17:08Oh, wow.

17:09High angle on the counter there.

17:12Oh, tries for the diving clothesline.

17:14Misses.

17:14It's the Cruiser.

17:15Thanks to her land.

17:16And Mahi Stroll from Statlander.

17:22But you saw Samuels was able to get that arm out and roll out of it and makes Statlander eat the forearm.

17:29And now this is the opportunity that Samuels needs to see her grabbing that shoulder,

17:34which is obviously heavily damaged as a result of going into that steel post.

17:39Enough that it had to cause her to change plans from going for starstrucker.

17:46Statlander.

17:52Keeping the pressure on Samuels now.

17:57And pulling out that arm, trying to send her in.

17:59Oh, that's...

18:06Nina Samuels is needing the referees.

18:16Actually checking on Nina Samuels because of the shoulder.

18:19Statlander gave her moments, but then was just like, no, this is a title match.

18:24Hits that nice springboard back elbow.

18:30And then a nice clothesline off the second rope.

18:32Again, keeping these moves together.

18:35Combinations.

18:35Quickly going for that inside Michinoku driver.

18:40And no!

18:42Wow.

18:43That was close.

18:44That was close.

18:44And we are over 15 minutes into this match.

19:00What the fuck?

19:03And now she's going for that variation of the Tombstone pole driver.

19:21Oh, she misses.

19:22And the whip-lash causes her to land heavy on that shoulder.

19:35Wait a minute.

19:37Abby tries to attack the referee.

19:40Oh, she's dead.

19:50Oscar, referee, Oscar is wondering where the hell Abby came from when he was getting rid of

19:53the title that Abby threw in.

19:58And now Nina goes for the Nina Garoche.

20:00She hits it.

20:01Third finish for the three.

20:03One, two.

20:04One, two, two point nine, nine, nine.

20:08Nina and Justin.

20:14Now going for the Moonsault.

20:17This is it.

20:19Again, the whip-lash on that shoulder.

20:21Rolls through.

20:23She's got that look.

20:24Oh boy.

20:25This being tearing at the shoulder.

20:27That is in submission.

20:31Missed out over.

20:32for submission and still being the international champion,

20:40Christa Landau!

20:53Christa Landau,

20:56with her first successful title defence,

21:01what a match between Statlander and Nina Samuels!

21:10And Chris Statlander will return at Elite Encounters on Friday November the 7th.

21:21Now the question is who will Chris Statlander defend against at Elite Encounters?

21:30And what's next for Nina Samuels?
