00:00October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for the sixth consecutive year,
00:06WWE is proud to support Susan G. Komen as they raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.
00:13Throughout the month, WWE arenas are going pink in support of those who have fought and those who have survived.
00:20Be strong, act bold, and always believe.
00:24Go to BeMoreThanPink.org to learn more.
00:30Well, this has been an incredible night here at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
00:34I cannot get over the triple threat we just saw. Congratulations to Baron Corbin.
00:38Absolutely, congratulations to The Uso.
00:40We've already seen two new sets of champions.
00:42Could that trend continue here in the Motor City?
00:44And we are going into our third championship match here tonight.
00:48This for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
00:50Yeah, the flares and the hearts of the robbery that started in the early 90s, and here in 2017, it is hotter than ever.
00:57Natalia has enjoyed the time for honoring herself as champion, but the landscape changed with an emotional return last month for Charlotte Flair.
01:07It's good to be back.
01:14I personally want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers while my dad's been sick.
01:21Rick Flair has been battling health issues. He underwent successful surgery. Rick is resting comfortably. However, he remains in critical condition.
01:29It's been an emotional six weeks, literally life and death. But my dad is making a comeback.
01:39The Nature Boy, whoo, is back on the run. Thank you for all the love and support.
01:45When I was away, I learned a valuable lesson. Life is fragile. And that's why you have to make the moments count.
01:55So, from here on out, I'm gonna make every moment as big as possible for me and my dad.
02:05Charlotte, we are all so happy that your dad is doing better. But now it's time to focus on something more important.
02:20Tonight is a celebration, guys, of all women. By focusing on one woman.
02:30I am Natalia. I am wrestling royalty.
02:35The queen of Blackhark. Blackhark.
02:38I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
02:45Natalia is once again a champion.
02:49I will be your SmackDown Women's Champion forever.
02:54Natalia.
02:58I'm actually glad you interrupted me thanking all these people.
03:01You wanna know why?
03:03Because I'm here to challenge you for that SmackDown Women's Championship.
03:08In tonight's main event, we will have Naomi, Becky Lynch, Tamina, and the returning Charlotte Flair in a fatal four-way match!
03:27First woman to gain pinfall or submission is the winner.
03:30Who is going to earn an opportunity to challenge Natalia for the SmackDown Women's title?
03:36Charlotte with the boot!
03:38You have to make the moments count.
03:40Charlotte scrambles into the cover!
03:42Charlotte got it!
03:44The queen earns herself an opportunity to once again sit in the throne as Women's Champion.
03:53I will defeat Natalia, proving that Flair's always go home with a goal.
04:00Talk is cheap.
04:01Show me that you're Ric Flair's daughter.
04:03Show me that you're the best.
04:04I'm actually begging for you to prove it to me.
04:07The hearts and the players once again are gonna tangle a hell in a cell.
04:12Take a look at the challenger once upon a time.
04:37The queen that reigns supreme atop the women's division once again has an opportunity to do it again.
04:46Earlier tonight on the Hell in a Cell pick-off show, Charlotte Flair commenting on Natalia saying,
04:51quote, the champion knows every counter and move of mine.
04:54I have to be twice as good as Natalia tonight.
04:58Charlotte confided in me a couple weeks ago when she made a return to SmackDown Live.
05:02She was nervous.
05:03She had some doubts or her hands were literally shaking as she was lacing up her boots.
05:08But once she got in that ring, she realized, this is where I've always belonged.
05:12And this is where I always want to be as a champion.
05:16And tonight, WWE Hell in a Cell is presented by WWE 2K in team the video game.
05:25Pre-order the Deluxe Edition against Kurt Angle and play four days early starting this Friday, October 13th.
05:30And by Kenny FC, it's finger licking good.
05:35And what worries me, gentlemen, is the thing that everyone seems to think is driving Charlotte.
05:43Could it be her downfall?
05:45Charlotte has had her father Rick on her mind for weeks.
05:48She's not the same queen.
05:50She lacks the ruthlessness she once had in spades.
05:53I'm curious to see how this works.
05:55And the champion Natalya has said, nothing would make me happier than knowing Ric Flair will be watching Charlotte lose at Hell in a Cell.
06:06Natalya walking with a little extra purpose tonight.
06:08The queen of black hearts, as she refers to herself, would love nothing more than to definitively end a rivalry between the hearts and flares tonight.
06:18There's so much history between these two.
06:20You two gentlemen saw it last year as Charlotte main evented the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
06:25The first ever women's Hell in a Cell match-up tonight.
06:28She could become a five-time women's champion.
06:33The following contest scheduled for one fall.
06:36One fall!
06:37Is for the SmackDown Women's Championship!
06:42It's introducing the challenger, from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair!
06:52And her opponent, from Calvary, Alberta, Canada.
07:03She is the SmackDown Women's Champion, Natalya!
07:16You mentioned Ric Flair watching this match, watching his daughter.
07:18We also know Natalya Tony, Bret the Hitman Hart, watching live tonight from Calgary,
07:23Alberta, Canada.
07:24And her father, Jim the Anvil Night Hart, watching live tonight from Tampa, Florida.
07:28There's certainly a lot of external factors in this match.
07:31You have to take into consideration the fact that Charlotte spent the last few weeks
07:35on a book tour all over the globe.
07:37Could jet lag play into effect?
07:39Charlotte has not been as focused as she once was.
07:41Natalya, on the other hand, is incredibly focused on nothing but Charlotte Flair.
07:46So much history here in this match here tonight.
07:48This marks Natalya's 40th career pay-per-view match.
07:51Passing the Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, for most by any woman in WWE history.
07:59Think about this fact too, these are two ladies who competed for the NXT Women's Championship,
08:03competed for the former Divas title.
08:05The Women's Championship, and now the SmackDown Live Women's title.
08:09It's become evident that Natalya feels like she's getting her just due now.
08:15Natalya feels that after all these years, this is finally her-
08:18Uh-oh, cover, cover here by Charlotte, and a kick out of two.
08:24A little mean streak from the Queen, that's what we're gonna need to see.
08:27What were you saying about a lack of focus, Corey?
08:29Shut up, Saxton.
08:30Styling and profiling.
08:32A slap across the face of the challenger, and now taking down Charlotte here,
08:38looking for the sharpshooter early.
08:40Great counter, looking for the figure four.
08:42Let's get in early.
08:43Charlotte trying to transition.
08:44Nothing technical about that.
08:47Might have just incensed the champion.
08:51And out onto the apron there.
08:54Shot to the midsection here, now Charlotte slides back inside.
08:58Was trying to get a cover there, and Natalya, well scouted.
09:01Charlotte might have gotten ahead of herself, moving a little too fast.
09:04The technique wasn't exactly as needed, and Natalya.
09:06Technique is her strong point.
09:09Identifying the target area, that left knee of Charlotte.
09:12One, two.
09:13Graves, you mentioned it, the emotional factor here for Charlotte.
09:16Could that add to some of the speed, the anticipation we're seeing here from Charlotte?
09:20It absolutely could.
09:21I'd be surprised if it didn't.
09:23Charlotte's a very emotional woman.
09:26Again, right to the left knee of Charlotte Flair, and Natalya is taking control here
09:31early on in this fight.
09:32Well, it's obvious Natalya wants the sharpshooter.
09:35She's gonna soften up the leg of Charlotte Flair by any means necessary, and
09:38try to make the queen tap out.
09:40And think about this too, you also take the figure eight and figure four out of
09:45Charlotte's arsenal, the more you attack that left knee.
09:48And again, right back onto the knee, and Natalya has got this match right where she wants it.
10:00Everything is going Natalya's way right now.
10:02The pace is slowed down.
10:04Natalya can manipulate joints with the best of them.
10:07All that time spent in the dungeon is gonna pay off tonight.
10:10Natalya once told me she believes she is the foundation of this division.
10:13She told me in her ten years, every single woman in this division at some point has
10:18come to her for advice, has come to her for help.
10:21And that's the issue here, Byron, that's why Natalya feels so deeply.
10:25Natalya feels that Charlotte has overshadowed her when Natalya's put in her time and
10:29paid her dues.
10:30And right to the knee one more time.
10:32And now again, Natalya into a cover here, shoulders down and a kick out.
10:37It was pretty clear when Charlotte first came to SmackDown Live, just the extreme
10:41jealousy we saw from Natalya because Charlotte came in and immediately said,
10:45I want a championship opportunity.
10:47Charlotte's hurting a bad way right now.
10:49Look at this.
10:50Tear apart your hamstring.
10:54The knee of Charlotte's already in bad shape.
10:57Always time to glow.
10:58You see the official a moment ago checking on Charlotte to see if she can still
11:02continue in this match.
11:03Now it goes into a cover here on Charlotte to retain the title.
11:07And a kick out.
11:08What are these things called perks when you become a champion, Byron?
11:11One of them is the ability to gloat when you're beating up your opponent.
11:14Okay, thanks.
11:15And remember champion's advantage here in this match.
11:17The title cannot change hands via pin fall.
11:19Sorry, excuse me, rather disqualification or count out.
11:22Shut up!
11:23Natalya just enjoying torturing the queen.
11:27And now just tying up Charlotte Flair here.
11:32Well documented that Natalya is a submission specialist.
11:35We're seeing it on display here.
11:37You like Charlotte?
11:38Natalya is truly enjoying, inflicting the punishment on the challenger tonight.
11:47His personal rivalries.
11:49This is so much more than just another victory, another opportunity to show off for Natalya.
11:55And Natalya can just wear on this, can sit down here on Charlotte Flair and control the pace of this match.
12:03Charlotte has essentially nowhere to go right now.
12:05Actually.
12:06And Natalya, Natalya was trying to transition into something else there.
12:10And look at Charlotte here going after the ankle.
12:12This is desperation.
12:14Unlike the match we just saw, the rope will break a submission in this match.
12:19Natalya once again chops out the leg of Charlotte.
12:24If you're Charlotte, the wheel's gotta be turning because your strategy may have to be severely adjusted here because of this attack from Natalya.
12:34So whatever Charlotte strategized coming into this match has not worked.
12:45This has been all Natalya.
12:47And again, right into the canvas.
12:49You can have the best strategy in the world, but if you only have one good leg, you can kiss it goodbye.
12:54And Natalya, well wait a minute, Charlotte able to turn it around here, gets back up to her feet.
13:03And the discus clothesline dropping the challenger.
13:07That could be it.
13:08You saw Charlotte doesn't have anything left.
13:10A desperation shove was all Charlotte could muster.
13:13Charlotte had tried to create a little bit of breathing.
13:16Natalya again going for it.
13:18And now look at this, going for the Hart family sharpshooter here on Charlotte,
13:22middle of the ring.
13:23Can Natalya lock it in?
13:25Charlotte may be slightly more powerful than Natalya, but again, Charlotte can't capitalize.
13:32Charlotte's knee, it could be severely injured.
13:35I mean, it has been targeted and exploited by Natalya.
13:38And the one good leg she used to get up and get the boot right in the face of Natalya.
13:43And now an elbow.
13:44Good leg, got a good elbow, use it.
13:46And Natalya, shoulder first into the middle turnbuckle.
13:53And now Charlotte looks like she's got an opportunity, albeit hobbled.
13:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:00Reverse into a backslide.
14:01Now shoulders down for the title here and a kick out.
14:04And her signature flair chops.
14:14And the stunned Natalya with those chops is Charlotte.
14:19And Charlotte with a straight right.
14:21And the champion goes down.
14:23The adrenaline's starting to pulse through the veins of the queen.
14:25Has she still got it?
14:27It's style and profile on one leg still.
14:30And the knee drop with a good leg.
14:33That just shows you the confidence that is building right now for the challenger.
14:37It's wishful thinking, what it shows you is how badly injured Charlotte's knee is.
14:41She can't even capitalize on her own offense.
14:44Looks like she's capitalizing right now.
14:46A very unique offense there, able to get, again, the good leg out and create breathing room.
14:50We said Charlotte had to adjust on the fly.
14:52That's exactly what she's doing.
14:57And off the suplex, now Charlotte has Natalya in a position she can work with.
15:02Wait.
15:03Uh-oh.
15:04Don't do this, Charlotte.
15:05This is not smart.
15:06I get competitive fire, but I-
15:08Going up to the top and now Natalya's got an open target on the knee.
15:13Charlotte essentially exposed her knee.
15:15No, no, no.
15:16And the power bomb by Natalya.
15:19Cover on Charlotte for the total.
15:22Oh, man.
15:23How close was that?
15:24Just barely escapes, does the challenger.
15:27But does Charlotte have anything left?
15:33Both women are down here in this matchup for the SmackDown Women's title.
15:38And watch this, another cover by Natalya and Charlotte kicks out.
15:41Watch this.
15:42Boom.
15:43One more cover, one more cover by Natalya in a kick out.
15:46And now Natalya perhaps starting to get frustrated.
15:50Cover here on Flair and another kick out.
15:52It might not be glamorous strategy, but repeated pinfall attempts force your opponent to kick out.
15:58Every kick out takes energy away from Charlotte.
16:00Yeah, but look what's going on here.
16:01I mean, I have the frustration setting in for Natalya.
16:03I mean, this is valuable time for Natalya to take advantage.
16:07Wait a minute, now Charlotte, Charlotte trying to take advantage and a kick out.
16:12And Natalya right back here on Charlotte.
16:17Look at this, just getting scrappy in there now.
16:21Charlotte's getting desperate and Natalya's just getting nasty.
16:25And again, a straight stomp to the knee.
16:29And caught with a boot.
16:31But again, the plant leg, the injured left leg buckled there.
16:35Charlotte's in a great deal of pain right now.
16:40This is the best opportunity Charlotte's had to mount any sort of offense, but-
16:45How do you muster up the pain?
16:52How do you find a way?
16:54Trying to fight through the pain.
16:56What's the figure four and sent out of the ring by Natalya.
17:00You can see it, Charlotte barely able to stand.
17:03She collapsed right out here in front of us.
17:05Wait a minute, Natalya trying to go for the baseball.
17:09No!
17:10And the knee and then a steal.
17:11Charlotte's left knee's been exposed.
17:13She pulled her knee pad down to alleviate the pressure.
17:16And that knee cap went right into the steel stairs.
17:19Get up, Charlotte!
17:24Two, three, two, three.
17:26And the official has begun his count here.
17:27And Natalya tossing Charlotte back inside the ring.
17:30Wants to make an example out of Charlotte here tonight.
17:33There may be no coming back after that for Charlotte.
17:36And now stepping through for the sharpshooter, this could do it.
17:42Right in the center of the ring.
17:43This could do it on Charlotte Flair.
17:45Can you imagine the pain in the left knee?
17:47The pain is etched on the face of the queen.
17:51Charlotte can feel her opportunity slipping through her fingers.
17:54Drag back to the center of the ring.
17:56Charlotte, can she get to the bottom rope?
17:58Can she break the submission?
18:00Charlotte still trying to crawl, still trying to fight.
18:03Charlotte trying to attack Natalya.
18:08The back of Natalya's neck connected with the bottom turnbuckle.
18:12But the question remains, does Charlotte have anything left in the tank?
18:16And Natalya is down.
18:20This could be a fantastic opportunity for Charlotte.
18:22The incredible power possessed by Charlotte.
18:25Able to reverse and launch Natalya into the bottom turnbuckle.
18:28But what can Charlotte do now?
18:31On one good leg.
18:32The fact that Charlotte is still in this fight.
18:35The fact that Charlotte is still in this match is amazing enough.
18:38And now.
18:40No, no, no, not again.
18:42Charlotte.
18:43Byron, you said it earlier, this is still advised.
18:45Charlotte going up to the top.
18:46On one leg.
18:47This is nuts.
18:48And Natalya rolls outside the ring to get out of the drop zone there.
18:52And a kick.
18:53Charlotte definitely fighting valiantly.
18:58We would expect nothing less, but at one point, you gotta put your pride aside.
19:03Charlotte has a hard time doing it.
19:06It's in her pedigree.
19:07No way.
19:08That championship pedigree.
19:09Charlotte going up to the top, limping up to the top here.
19:13Charlotte on the top and the movesaw to Natalya.
19:17But Charlotte planted right on the injured knee.
19:21That could have destroyed what was left of Charlotte's knee.
19:24That might have been the last weapon in the arsenal of the queen.
19:29But Charlotte needs to figure out a way to get Natalya back in the ring.
19:33And the official has begun his count here.
19:36Remember, the title cannot change hands on a count out or disqualification.
19:41And Natalya trying to get away from Charlotte here.
19:46It's a smart strategy the champion can retain even if she loses by count out or disqualification.
19:51There it is.
19:52And a steel chair with Natalya.
19:55God, right to the knee.
19:56Come on.
19:57And Natalya again with the chair.
20:01Natalya just wearing out a steel chair on the already damaged knee of the challenger.
20:16Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
20:21Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
20:23It's over.
20:24This will be my championship.
20:29Get it out of here, come on.
20:30Somebody's gotta get some help out here, Charlotte is hurt.
20:43Natalya's real proud.
20:45Well, Byron, I hate to break it to you, but Natalya's still the SmackDown Women's Champion.
21:01And when you're the champion, you should be proud.
21:04And Charlotte put it all on the line here in this match, the moonsault to the outside.
21:09Watch this one more time.
21:11In Charlotte's effort to brace her own impact, she comes down hard on both legs,
21:16particularly the left one that Natalya had damaged so severely.
21:20Charlotte in undeniable agony.
21:23And just when Charlotte thought she had an advantage in this match, Natalya would come out with a steel chair
21:29from the timekeeper's area.
21:31And Natalya realized her championship was slipping away.
21:35And when in danger, grab a steel chair, get yourself purposely disqualified.
21:39Saxton, were you watching the same match I was?
21:41It looked to me like Natalya simply got tired of it.
21:44Natalya got tired of fighting.
21:46That's what it was, huh?
21:47You really believe that?
21:48Look at your monitor right now.
21:49You see Natalya smiling a beautiful smile.
21:51Here's your winner by disqualification, Charlotte Flair.
21:59Do you think Natalya's uncle Brad is proud of that?
22:02Do you think Natalya's father Jimmy Abel Neidhart is proud of the way she walked out of this match?
22:05I guarantee you they are.
22:13Heartbreak for that young lady right there.
22:15You gotta think about how much damage he's done to Charlotte Flair's left knee here in this match.
22:20I completely agree and I understand that it's a great romantic story that Charlotte kept fighting valiantly.
22:26But at some point you have to realize you're jeopardizing your own career.
22:29You have to put pride aside and live to fight another day.
22:32AN type of рубrito that you want.
22:33And now someone's got away from Charlotte Flair's right, I don't even know what that meant.
22:37So, we might as well be hitting another day,
22:38Ooh, the problem neid
22:39And he wants you to be in that last video.
22:42He wants you to run into this match for GeForce though,
22:44But he's going to beat sure he has made all the game right now.
22:46And we're in that last video,
22:49I've been 20 years old and then let's get rid of people.
22:54He'll see you,
22:56сл homepage.
22:57He'll see you next身.
