00:00Ticketmaster, MSG, The Mecca, John Cena, his final Raw in November 17.
00:07It is going to be so special just to be in the building that night wave.
00:11Oh wow, that is a don't miss event.
00:15Be there or catch it on TV, whatever works best.
00:23Sheamus with the shillelagh as Judgment Day has a lot to deal with.
00:28We told you there were moments in last week's Battle Royal for the number one contender spot for the World Heavyweight Championship
00:35that were classic pure banger after banger Sheamus.
00:39And then there was a moment that has to be dealt with right now.
00:43Well these two from Judgment Day turfed out Sheamus illegally in the Battle Royal after they had been eliminated
00:50and obviously an irate Sheamus who wanted to book his ticket to Saturday night's main event
00:55on the shot of the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:58Now wants his pound of flesh from his fellow Irishman.
01:05That's pretty much the first pound taken.
01:08Apparently he wants a bit more.
01:09I mean how about the echo of that body shot going up to the third level here at the Honda Center and back.
01:16That echo.
01:16When Adam Pearce said, who's going to fight Sheamus tonight out of you two, Finn Balor backed off a rather gung-ho.
01:26JD McDonough said, yeah, no problem, I'll fight him.
01:29Well guess what, JD McDonough?
01:31Welcome to a fight with Sheamus.
01:35And that is why Finn Balor backed off so quickly.
01:38JD McDonough's never been in a ring with Sheamus before.
01:41Now he's got a little taste of that.
01:43He might back off too next time Adam Pearce starts looking for volunteers.
01:47Yeah, in about 15 seconds he found out, didn't he?
01:52And this just looks like a mismatch at this point.
01:56And of course Finn Balor is as tough, excuse me, JD McDonough is as tough as they come.
02:00He's a hell of a mover.
02:01But just the size and aggression of Sheamus, augmented by the fact he's highly irate of being turfed out of the battle wall illegally last week.
02:14Finn's eyes there said it all.
02:17Finn looks frozen in fear and he can blame him.
02:23JD McDonough.
02:24Gonna come up with something here against Sheamus, utilizing the speed, trying to utilize the skill as well.
02:34Nice.
02:34Oh, and he just goes to the back of that left leg.
02:37Shops down the big man and then drives a forearm right to his back and steps right over him.
02:45Oh, no, don't turn your back on Sheamus.
02:48Oh.
02:49He found out, didn't he?
02:51Finn Balor got a straight boot on that one too.
02:53You should have known better, Finn.
02:58Now heading out this way, relentless in these attacks on JD McDonough, staring down Finn Balor in the process.
03:07Absolutely fearless is Sheamus.
03:09I can't wait.
03:10Understandably so when you're built like he is.
03:15Sheamus inside.
03:16Just to let him know.
03:20Two men who've both conquered this industry from Ireland in very, very different ways.
03:27Clearly do not like one another.
03:31JD able to trip him up and go up and over and corkscrew over the top rope and right into the cover, hooking the leg of Sheamus.
03:38And barely a count of one.
03:39It would be hard to believe that JD McDonough once upon a time in his NXT days was a high-flying fan favorite.
03:47Still has those skills, but he's added to them.
03:50The virtue of his alignment with the Judgment Den is now even more vicious than ever.
03:55Makes him a highly cunning and dangerous competitor.
03:58And undeniably tough.
04:02Oh, here we go.
04:04Why not?
04:04They're going to love it here in California.
04:06Oh, but the 10 beats of the Bodron interrupted by Finn.
04:12Finn has put himself in the bottom.
04:14Oh!
04:14How about a double clothesline off the apron?
04:20How good is that by Sheamus?
04:22And his sellout crowd is loving it.
04:25Double clothesline by the big guy.
04:27Finn Balor trying to get back to his feet.
04:40JD McDonough.
04:41I don't know if the front row are cheering Sheamus because they like him or they're cheering him because they're scared they'll get some of this next if they don't.
04:54He tosses JD back in the ring.
04:56Did you renew the insurance on this?
04:58Honestly.
04:58We need a new policy is what we need.
05:00I mean, that's number five.
05:01Five times he's been attacked.
05:02All night long.
05:03Oh, dragon screw to that left knee of Sheamus as he was distracted by Balor on the outside.
05:10Much smarter, JD.
05:11Remember, he chopped that left knee from behind and now the dragon screw to add to it.
05:15It's been pretty much a one-two whammy from the word go here for Sheamus.
05:19Keep his eye on Finn Balor and that has opened up numerous opportunities here for JD McDonough to take control against all odds on my ass.
05:31Oh, look at Sheamus limping as he was twisting that left knee.
05:35Oh, now he's working it.
05:36This is exactly what McDonough does best.
05:39He finds the target.
05:40He finds the smallest advantage.
05:42Oh, and he twists it down to the side as well.
05:46Such a high IQ.
05:48He's now being merciless in his attacks on Sheamus.
05:53Full-time world champion Sheamus.
05:58Being rendered completely obsolete in that ring now by highly aggressive and inventive JD McDonough.
06:05When Sheamus starts pulling hair and going for eyes, you know he must be in agony.
06:13Sheamus going as low as he can.
06:16Referee is wise to it.
06:19Just a permanence to any shot Sheamus gets on you.
06:24You'll never quite forget it.
06:26Take a right hand.
06:56Sheamus thought he had things in control with that jump off the apron and double clothesline
07:06to take out both JD McDonough and Finn Balor.
07:09But it has been the constant attack to the left leg of Sheamus by JD McDonough
07:14that has defined the majority of this match wave.
07:17Well, McDonough's been really smart.
07:18He's waited for Finn Balor on several occasions to open up a little distraction.
07:23And the second that has happened, JD McDonough has pounced and made it count,
07:28which is the crucial part.
07:29Really softened up that left leg and ankle of Sheamus.
07:33Started with the knee work downwards from there.
07:37Keeping Sheamus down is a very, very difficult prospect as JD McDonough is finding out.
07:44But he has been relentless with these attacks.
07:47Of course, Judgment Day trying to long-term put themselves in position
07:51for the tag team championships.
07:53But right now, business to be dealt with after last week's Battle Royal
07:57when Sheamus was eliminated by McDonough and Finn Balor.
08:01McDonough stepped to this challenge that general manager Adam Pearce wanted to see.
08:06Out of a fight JD McDonough has put up.
08:11Dangerous landing there for both men.
08:14But smartly, JD McDonough managing to cling onto a rope at some point.
08:18Save himself.
08:19And that left leg, Sheamus limping out on the floor.
08:24And now, oh, the moonsault from McDonough.
08:27Just picture, perfect moonsault there from JD McDonough after that boot to the chest.
08:33Reminiscent of Robbie Keane, an ex-LA Galaxy player from Ireland.
08:38And now perhaps going in for the kill is JD McDonough.
08:43McDonough!
08:444.50 into the cover!
08:50Just so much range in JD McDonough.
08:55And this is as good as it gets.
08:57And you think about JD McDonough's body at this point.
09:00How much punishment it's absorbed.
09:02Still pulling off high-risk aerial offense like that.
09:07Even the punishment of putting forth the offense he has shown tonight.
09:11Not just what he's taken.
09:12Not just what he's absorbed.
09:14But what he has been doing in attacking Sheamus has taken something out of him as well.
09:20Look at the welts on the body of JD McDonough.
09:22He's glowing red from head to toe.
09:25That certainly ain't a sunburn.
09:27It's a lot more painful than that.
09:28You want to test the punch and kick resistance of Sheamus?
09:34You want to know if he can withstand it when he looks at you and says, come on.
09:38Keep kicking me in the teeth.
09:39Exactly.
09:40Keep slapping me in the face.
09:41More.
09:42More.
09:42I've been there before.
09:44It's terrifying.
09:46Right there.
09:47Place one here now.
09:49What a psychopath.
09:50And what that does to an opponent mentally.
09:55You can't hurt me.
09:56That's the message.
09:57JD now realizes it.
09:58Oh!
10:02And those welts are just growing by the second.
10:11And that back of JD McDonough.
10:15Smashing right into the knee of Sheamus.
10:18Now, Sheamus just loves being in the trenches on a Monday night.
10:24Doesn't quite feel himself until he's tasting his own blood.
10:28He tried to line up 10 beats of the bond run earlier.
10:32JD McDonough, of course, grew up knowing what an Irish drum sounds like and feels like.
10:37Didn't want to become one.
10:38Looking for a quick one here.
10:40Now, this brawl is just another night in Ireland.
10:44Now, these two doing that Ireland pride.
10:46Coach, are they ever.
10:54Sheamus looking to deliver more.
10:59Puts him right on that apron.
11:01And now he's got him where he wants him.
11:05Go ahead and count along, Anaheim.
11:101, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 19, 20, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20.
11:22got himself a front row seat for that one and there was nothing he could do to save his protégé J.D. McDonagh
11:31throw kick incoming, oh Bipney
11:43well J.D. McDonagh needed all of his pace and reflexes there just about catching Sheamus in the nick of time
11:50but can he make it count here? J.D., pinning combination
11:59oh but he gets scooped up instantly
12:01run ragged in this one
12:03look like shadows of the two men who walk down the aisle unsurprisingly so oh my god
12:08look at the strength of Sheamus into a high cross
12:11he turned him around
12:13oh and he delivers it
12:15tosses him across the ring
12:18high landed on the back of the neck
12:21oh Finn
12:23Finn went and grabbed the foot and put it on the rope
12:25he had no choice
12:27the match was over there
12:28if Finn had not done that it was game over
12:31Sheamus saw all of it even if the referee did not
12:38now Sheamus eyeballs Finn and says that's how you want to do this?
12:43really?
12:46all right I'll fight you Finn
12:50out on the floor Finn and Sheamus
12:54Kim has the shillelagh in his hand now
12:57the major major equalizer the shillelagh that Sheamus
13:00oh
13:02pop knee
13:03Sheamus simply too quick for Balor there
13:07catching Balor unawares
13:09oh god
13:10oh he's he's
13:11oh he's he's
13:12oh he's gonna powerbomb him
13:14high cross him as well
13:16oh McDonough comes flying out and Sheamus catches him
13:19oh man oh man
13:22spine just bouncing off our desk that
13:27crashing on the reinforced announced desk
13:30and then up onto the barrier
13:36ribcage of JD McDonough
13:38ate all of that against our security barrier
13:40which did not move at all
13:43I guarantee JD McDonough's ribs did
13:46and went up
13:47oh Finn attacks with the shillelagh
13:49and the referee didn't see any of it
13:51how smart was that
13:53from Finn Balor
13:55and now JD
13:57looking to pounce here
13:59against Sheamus
14:01Sheamus' back just got cracked
14:03oh
14:04Spanish fly
14:05my oh my JD
14:08pouncing into the cover
14:113
14:12wow
14:15Here is your winner
14:17JD McDonough
14:21what a wild
14:23wild conclusion Wade
14:25what a war that was
14:27and I criticized JD McDonough earlier
14:29said he had the gung-ho approach
14:32but that paid off
14:33because that has to be
14:34the biggest
14:36singles victory
14:37of McDonough's career
14:38when it looked like
14:39Sheamus had the match won here
14:40with a high cross
14:42Finn Balor's intervention
14:44prevented it being a 3-down
14:47and just when it looked like
14:48Balor had been dealt with
14:50no he had not
14:51bouncing back with his shillelagh
14:53to the spine of Sheamus
14:54and then this
14:56incredible Spanish fly
14:58against a 280 pound competitor
15:01in Sheamus
15:02from the top rope
15:04got McDonough
15:05a massive massive win
15:08that I don't think anybody
15:09was anticipating
15:11what a performance
15:13incredible performance
15:16the Spanish fly
15:17and the victory
15:18JD McDonough
15:19big jump
15:22and that's why
15:23the next
15:26week
15:27take you back to
15:29last week
15:30women's
15:31Intercontinental Championship
15:32match
15:33with Maxine Dupree
15:35taking
15:36Lynch and astoundingly Maxine Dupree completely dominating an out-of-sorts Lynch. Maxine was
15:45closing in on victory. Becky Lynch trying everything she could manage to cling on to
15:51that championship. Becky Lynch looked like a beaten woman but then Becky Lynch snapped,
15:58got herself disqualified with that shot from the title and then launched a vicious beatdown of
16:04Maxine. This is what the top level is all about.
16:13You earned it. Two wins over one of the best to ever do it, which by the way, she needed a week off
16:16for what happened last week. Regardless of that, two wins over the Women's Intercontinental Champion
16:21means the third time in the U.J., right? And you earned it. So when am I making it official?
16:27Thank you. I really appreciate that and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. I know that
16:32those are few and far between around here, but I just don't want it to go to waste.
16:38What are you saying? No, listen, I want this match so badly. I need this more than anything in the
16:44world. After what happened last week with Becky, I just, I think I need to call a friend and confirm
16:52that I'm prepared for anything she throws my way. And when I'm ready, which I will be,
16:57okay, I will step in that ring and I will take the Women's Intercontinental Championship off of
17:06Becky Lynch's waist. And I will give her and the rest of the world the biggest shock of their life.
17:13So you're just planning ahead. Yes. Good. I like it. So it's official. Eventually.
17:18Look, bottom line here is you call me when you're ready and we'll make it happen. You earned it.
17:23Thank you. Okay. Deal? Deal. Proud of you. Thank you.
17:30Pleased to be joined backstage by our Women's Tag Team Champions, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
17:36Ladies, first off, congratulations. Today is 85 days as Tag Team Champions and you two defend these
17:43titles non-stop. You are true fighting champions. So I guess my question is why accept this impromptu
17:51challenge from Lyra and Bayley. Well, we never back down from a challenge. It doesn't matter if
17:55it's Raw, SmackDown, NXT. If anyone wants to fight, all they have to do is ask. And not that I'm keeping
18:01tabs or anything, but I'm about to make history again. I mean, I know I get to work on that word.
18:08We're about to make history again because we are two victories away from having the most
18:13women's tag team title defenses in history. It's what we do.
18:22We should be in the title match tonight. Bayley and Lyra don't deserve those titles. And neither do you.
18:34Listen, Asuka, I know we've been through a lot. I've beaten you a lot. But I've changed. I know. I've changed. And I'd be
18:43honored. We would be honored to face the two of you. I've changed the two. And you are not ready for us.
18:53Well, it is coming up. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.
19:17Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley and Lyra Valcaria. Coming your way.
19:47It is my pleasure to welcome in my guest, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and the Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vacker.
20:13Ladies, you've developed a friendship behind the scenes recently, and it's already been put to the test courtesy of the Judgment Day.
20:22Stephanie, I'll start with you. Last week after your match, you get jumped by Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
20:28Nikki, earlier on tonight, during your match with Roxanne, you still have to deal with Raquel.
20:32Fortunately, you've had each other's backs, but how do you plan to handle the threat of the Judgment Day going forward?
20:39You know what? Great question, Byron. As we all saw, what they did to Stephanie last week wasn't okay. What they did to me tonight isn't okay.
20:46And I think we all can agree that those two, Roxanne and Raquel need their asses kicked.
20:54Yeah.
20:56We're happy about that. Raquel Roxanne. Next week, we'll be ready and waiting for you in the ring.
21:09Wow. I guess we got some breaking news here. The challenge is being laid out officially from Stephanie Vacker and Nikki Bella to both Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
21:22I'm sure they're probably going to get wind of this challenge pretty quickly, so it'll be interesting to see what they have to say about that.
21:28And of course, we all know how things work around here. For things to officially be made official, we got to hear from Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.
21:36But that's next week. And we have a pretty big main event match to come shortly right here in Anaheim, California.
21:44Because in our main event, the women's tag team titles will be on the line.
21:51We know the challengers in one corner. Whether they can coexist is another question.
21:55But Bayley and Lyra Valkyria will challenge Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
22:01Again, the women's tag team titles on the line in just a few moments here in Anaheim.
22:07Are we going to see new tag team champions? That remains to be seen.
22:11But until then, let's get to my broadcast partners, Wade Barrett, Joe Tessitore, who will be calling all the action in our main event here tonight.
22:37Posing in on Saturday night's main event will be in Salt Lake City. Tickets are still available.
22:51But, Wade, let's show everybody what this mega card looks like.
22:55Well, we have a vacated World Heavyweight Championship, but all is going to get made right in our universe very soon.
23:03This Saturday, as main event, Jey Uso takes on CM Punk, the winner to be crowned World Heavyweight Champion at Saturday night's main event.
23:13Saw Punk earlier tonight turn to Jay and say, how far are you willing to go?
23:16The IC title's a triple threat. Super glue the timekeeper's hammer to his hand, please.
23:22Dirty Dom has pulled every trick. Now Penta and Rusev join in for a triple threat, Wade.
23:27And Jade Cargill launched a heinous assault on the WWE women's champ Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown this past week.
23:37They're going to go head-to-head for the gold at Saturday night's main event this Saturday.
23:43And the big one, the last we saw of Cody Rhodes, he was viciously playbored by Drew McIntyre.
23:48They've been brawling for weeks. Now they fight for the undisputed WWE Championship on Saturday night's main event in just five days.
23:56I don't know how to do it, but I've made no mistake about it, but 2026 is going to be my last year. I mean, I get it.
24:09But as of right now, we are the tag team champions of the world.
24:15Yeah, I'm right, you're right.
24:16So, whatever worthy opponents that you have, Russ, bring them up, man. Keep this ball rolling. We want to face them. Face them soon.
24:23I love the way that sounds. In fact, I was thinking about this.
24:26Hey, Pierce.
24:27You too busy back here to see me handling shyness.
24:30You're gonna be kidding me.
24:31Judgment Day needed our business handled. And we did that. We don't hide from anybody.
24:35So now that we're done jumping through hoops for you, Adam, we would like our tag team rematch.
24:41Please.
24:42You both have a lot of nerve. You don't think I just saw you cheat to beat Sheamus?
24:45Now you're back here for a minute.
24:46Pierce, Pierce, Pierce. Are you serious right now?
24:47Let's listen to me.
24:48Not a bad idea. I didn't say deserving of bonus, which you guys are not. Hello, but let's keep it hot. What do you think, Dragon?
24:57It's hot. Hey, me encanta. And if you want to keep this hot,
25:03I am the heat. I am the fire. And next week, let's show them that together we are unstoppable.
25:19Okay, let me understand this. You guys want a rematch with them next week?
25:22Of course we want.
25:23A.J., for you, it is official. Best of luck. I won't hit it. See you next week, boys. See you. Guess so. Don't cry.
25:40It's going to be the shortest reign of your career, A.J. I'm the only one of yours.
25:53It is time for our world championship main event. Here we go.
26:14And it has been interesting over the past month. The moments of doubt and pause with Lyra Valkeria with Bailey's enthusiasm for all of this and their relationship.
26:29But here they are fighting for gold. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.
26:37Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss looking to defend against Bailey and Lyra Valkeria. That's coming next.
26:47We'll be the first time that Bailey and Lyra have it in against Alexa and Charlotte.
27:11They've both been Tag Team Champions here in WWE previously, albeit not with each other.
27:22They had that opportunity taken away from them before WrestleMania this year.
27:28A slot that ended up being filled by Becky Lynch who ended up winning gold alongside Lyra Valkeria.
27:34But now these two friends seem to be back in cahoots back on the same side.
27:41And if Lyra Valkeria can control the multiple sides of the Bailey persona.
27:47Then that could all go well on their trip towards claiming gold together finally tonight.
27:55Come on.
27:56Come on.
27:57Come on.
27:58Come on.
28:24Oh it's hugging time Joe. I'm gonna get my poppy dog eyes on. See if I can attempt one over this way.
28:36It's a tough sell coming to hug Wade Barrett when there's a bunch of kids in the audience who also want to hug.
28:40I'm not gonna lie. I don't know how I beat the kids out on that one.
28:43I think that's fair perspective finally out of you tonight.
28:46I feel like you're cramping my style too Joe Tesh.
28:48You think so? Am I the wet blanket?
28:50You're a bit like Michael Cole.
28:51That's denying the fire of your hug?
28:53I feel like I could be the cool kid at the desk if not me you and Cole.
28:59Barely's not even looking this way.
29:03So disappointed.
29:23We've started seeing The
29:29moments in a moment by
29:30っていう
29:31cool
29:37I want to give you a special thank you to Black Sabbath and WWE Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne,
30:00who sadly passed away earlier this year, for War Pigs.
30:04And to honor Ozzy and all those affected by Parkinson's,
30:07please consider purchasing Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne's cover of War Pigs
30:12and all the profits made by the songs of UK record labels
30:16will be donated to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation.
30:19And Pure Parkinson's War Pigs is from the album Paranoid.
30:24It's available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
30:27And we encourage you to do just that.
30:30Well, the long and winding road of Bayley and Lyra.
30:37This August at SummerSlam, Bayley had that costly interference
30:40in Lyra's last chance match against Peggy Lich.
30:43Then the recent erratic behavior of Bayley had Lyra questioning so much.
30:48But now you get this, the trust in the title shot.
30:50And Monday Night Raw is headed to New Mexico Wade next week.
30:55And the action will heat up.
30:58And you know what you saw earlier tonight?
30:59And now we will have Stephanie McHare and Nikki Bella teaming up
31:03against Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
31:07The tag match hits do not stop there.
31:10Because as we just heard, the new tag champs, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee
31:16will take on the team they defeated for the gold last week.
31:20The Judgment Day and, of course, J.D. McDonough, where we just saw victorious against Sheamus.
31:27He's in a rich vein of form.
31:29We're going to grab back the gold next week on Raw.
31:32Speaking of tag team champs, here they come.
31:36One of the greatest of all time.
31:52One of the greatest of all time.
31:54Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, the champs.
32:21And they've gone from the most unlikely pairing earlier this year
32:25to now friends beyond the ring, blowing up on social media.
32:29They've had a recent Halloween party that had them crushing it.
32:32Bliss dressed as a vampire.
32:34Charlotte sporting the iridescent fairy wings and face gems dressed as a fairy.
32:39They're loving hanging out together.
32:41Well, they are an odd couple tag team that somehow persevered, made it work
32:47and climbed right to the very top of the mountain, grabbing gold in the process.
32:52And when you look across the ring from them tonight,
32:55can another odd couple tag team who've had a very shaky start together
33:00but somehow found some common ground and made it work,
33:04Lyra Valkyria and Bayley, dethrone the tag champs?
33:08For the official introductions of our championship main event,
33:18here's Alicia Taylor.
33:19The following contest is scheduled for one fall
33:38and is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
33:49Introducing first, the challengers, the team of
33:58Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.
34:08And their opponents, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team.
34:19Flag Team Champions, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
34:30The fifth defense in this current reign for Bliss and Flair.
34:46Gold is on the line.
34:4813,812 here, sold out on the center.
34:54It has been a spectacular evening of action.
34:58And it culminates right here with the Women's Tag Team Championship match.
35:03Wade, as we are underway and Bayley and Bliss will get us started.
35:08Still blows my mind looking at Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair as a tag team.
35:13Oh, trying to score a quick one here with Bliss.
35:16Perhaps the greatest resumes of any tag team in history combine 19 World Championships between them.
35:24That's something when you think about it.
35:26And you just know if they can click, as they have done over the past couple of months,
35:31they may well be unstoppable.
35:32And you sit there and you say you've got a 14-time world champion and a 5-time world champion.
35:40And as we've called them so many times, the unlikely pairing.
35:43And yet, week after week, you see them growing with their friendship and their admiration.
35:49And constantly together.
35:51You know, we were talking to Charlotte earlier today.
35:52She said, listen, I'm finding myself hanging out with her friends and family
35:55and developing this Twisted Queens mindset.
36:00You always talk about what it takes in time, tag team action, the chemistry.
36:05They've got it.
36:06They have got it.
36:07And it looked like at one point it was never going to happen.
36:10But then one day, it absurdly clicked.
36:13And they haven't looked back.
36:15And the same seems to have been true over the past couple of weeks for Lyra and Bayley.
36:20But this is really the acid test for this newer duo.
36:24We'll see if they can match the level of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
36:29Who now have a taste for gold and are not ready to give it up.
36:32Of course, it was Bayley always pushing ahead when it came to teaming up and getting opportunities like this.
36:39You saw what she did on social media to get this tag team challenge.
36:43She was quickly accepted by Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
36:49Flair and Bliss are clearly fighting champions.
36:51Anyone who wants an opportunity will grant them to you.
36:55Kabuki Warriors a little upset, of course, that Lyra Valkyria and Bayley jumped the line in their words.
37:03And got this opportunity ahead of them.
37:04They may well be waiting in the wings for whoever the victim may be down the line.
37:09Right now, championships up four grabs.
37:12Charlotte able to get out of the way.
37:16But then eats that elbow from Lyra Valkyria before coming up with the kick.
37:21Fireflies are out in force.
37:22And they are loving what they are seeing from the tag champs here.
37:26Big Flair chop.
37:27Big Flair dominating the early goings here.
37:39Controlling the pace of the match against the less experienced Lyra Valkyria.
37:43Everybody's getting a boot from Charlotte.
37:49Spinning kick right to the midsection.
37:51And now a striking combination from Valkyria.
37:53Sometimes newer superstars like a Valkyria can be eaten up in the moment against someone with the kind of resume
38:01that Charlotte Flair has, but not this Lyra Valkyria.
38:07Oh, and the drop kick through the ropes for Lyra Valkyria.
38:12And she says, yeah, we want the title.
38:24So Lyra Valkyria able to drop kick through the ropes out onto the floor against Charlotte Flair.
38:32And now the press and the hook of the leg, but barely a count of one.
38:37That was impressive from Lyra Valkyria because Charlotte Flair was just having it way too easy in the early goings of this one.
38:43As she has a tendency to do, such is her caliber.
38:47It was a really nice effort by Lyra Valkyria to finally stem the tide and get a little bit of offense going back the opposite direction.
38:55But even getting the upper hand against Charlotte Flair sometimes feels like the first step
39:02on a journey of a thousand miles beating Charlotte Flair is a whole other matter.
39:08Crowd here in Southern California chanting, we want bliss, we want bliss.
39:12And you can see Charlotte Flair does as well, reaching out for that tag attack.
39:18Charlotte Flair really needs this tag.
39:21It's not looked the same since Lyra got the upper hand.
39:23Charlotte Flair slowly getting ground down here.
39:27Looking for gold and Charlotte quickly gets rid of Lyra.
39:31And how much has the confidence of Lyra Valkyria grown in this calendar year?
39:35You go back to the beginning of 2025, she had all the potential in the world,
39:39but I didn't think she was too close to realizing it anytime soon.
39:43To be honest with you, I think it was that run to become the inaugural, excuse me,
39:49intercontinental champion that really changed the game for Valkyria.
39:53The women's tag team champion, the first intercontinental champion, completely agree with you
40:00as now Alexa Bliss gets the work against Bayley.
40:06I think Lyra's on that short list when you reflect on the year as to who's had the most growth.
40:12And now Bayley with the clothesline against Alexa Bliss.
40:15Yeah, Lyra's right up there, as is Raquel Rodriguez, for my money,
40:20who has been absolutely incredible in 2025.
40:22Roxanne Perez as well, who we saw earlier tonight with the victory against Nikki Bella.
40:29And, of course, Stephanie Vakar.
40:31We can't quite leave her out.
40:32What a year she's had.
40:33A rocket ride up in a cent for the champion.
40:50Women's Tag Team Championship match.
40:53You see the gold they are battling for.
40:56Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, the unique relationship that has been developed in recent months.
41:02They wanted it.
41:03They're getting it.
41:04Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss quick to accept the challenges.
41:07Now Bliss is being stretched out by Lyra Valkyria.
41:11What a torturous hold by this incredibly inventive Dubliner.
41:16It has been the Ireland show here tonight.
41:19And what a victory it would be for Lyra Valkyria and Bayley if they could grab gold here.
41:24Completely getting the upper hand in this one against the champs.
41:27Oh, she turns it into a potential pin there as Alexa is able to get free.
41:33But right now in a compromised position in that corner against the challengers trying to fight her way free.
41:40Well, Bliss fighting for dear life at this point.
41:42She's been under the cosh from Valkyria and Bayley.
41:46And now if Lyra Valkyria can drag her back to the wrong side of the tracks, get the tag to Bayley.
41:51And that is just classic tag team strategy.
41:55She is desperate to get to Charlotte.
41:58And now the teamwork from Bayley and Valkyria.
42:03Late, late kick out there from Alexa Bliss.
42:07And you get the sense that Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are inching closer to the gold there.
42:13Tag team championship match that Bayley desperately wanted.
42:18Put forth a challenge on social media and gets it right here at the Honda Center.
42:23Would you look at Alexa Bliss, but instead.
42:26Oh, she does land it.
42:28The double DDT.
42:30And now Charlotte on that apron.
42:33She wants a piece of it.
42:35No glimpse into the otherworldly abilities of Alexa Bliss.
42:39And there's the tag.
42:40Here comes Flair.
42:45High flying cross body wipes them both out.
42:49A one UI challenger for gold.
42:55There are few that do it better than this.
42:58Flair chop after Flair chop.
43:01The last thing you want is a fresh Charlotte Flair running at you.
43:07Walkover clothesline.
43:10The queen has arrived for this championship moment, hasn't she?
43:15Now taking full control of the match.
43:18Guarding those tag championships on her own.
43:22Alexa Bliss is down.
43:23Alexa Bliss may be out.
43:24And Charlotte might have to win this one solo.
43:29Something she is more than capable of doing.
43:32The offense that Charlotte Flair has been able to string together.
43:37It could put away this tag team championship match.
43:42They're looking to win this one in style box.
43:46Flair's got that potential moonsault lined up.
43:49Wade.
43:49From the top.
43:54And into the cover.
43:56Hook and a leg to retain.
43:59But Lyra able to get that left shoulder up.
44:02The game changing queen of this entire industry.
44:07Looking as good as ever.
44:09Connecting perfectly on both opponents with that one.
44:15And somehow Valkyria with just about enough left in the tank to kick out.
44:20But for how much longer?
44:22Big boot to deal with.
44:24Bailey on the apron.
44:29Oh!
44:30That gave Lyra just enough time to recover.
44:33Just enough, Wade.
44:35Valkyria really needs this tag.
44:37And something has snapped inside Bailey.
44:39Oh, we've seen this before.
44:40Ding dong, you idiots!
44:43Bailey demanding a tag now.
44:46The intensity of Bailey.
44:49This is the Bailey that at times has confused Lyra, but has helped her out as well.
44:55The big knee from Bailey.
44:57Control this side of Bailey.
44:59Oh!
44:59You have a great pathway to the gold.
45:02And Charlotte draped over that second rope as Bailey continues with her assault.
45:08Oh, God!
45:08Oh!
45:09Absolutely berserk here!
45:11Driving the elbow.
45:13Drop kicking Alexa Bliss off the apron.
45:17Well, Bailey finding that top gear just when it was needed.
45:21Finding a knee just when it was needed with Charlotte Flair.
45:24Whoa!
45:25Belly to belly!
45:26To have the gold right here!
45:29And Charlotte survives it!
45:31Such a late kick out there from Charlotte Flair.
45:35Oh, man.
45:3695% of the locker room.
45:38And that was going to be new tag team champions.
45:43But Charlotte Flair just has that extra ability most don't have.
45:47Will the reign of Bliss and Flair continue?
45:52Or will Bailey and Valkyria grab those championships?
45:57So Bliss has tagged herself in.
45:59And Bailey did not see it, I don't think, but taking a shot for good measure.
46:02Bailey, I think, thinks Charlotte Flair is still legal here.
46:06No doubt about it as Charlotte kicks free for a moment.
46:10And now, look, oh!
46:14Would you look at the leg drop by Valkyria?
46:16Barry Batea connects on Charlotte Flair.
46:22But of course, it's not Charlotte who's legal!
46:26Oh, Bliss!
46:27Putschey!
46:29Looking for the sister Abigail DDT!
46:32Connecting flush to retain!
46:36And a save by Bailey!
46:38Wow! Championship timing from the veteran Bailey!
46:42Just when it was most needed!
46:45Incredible drama here in our championship main event!
46:49Now, with a boot to the temple from Charlotte Flair,
46:51they're crawling on the floor,
46:53which leads it to Alexa Bliss and Valkyria in the ring!
46:58The sister Abigail DDT!
47:02Oh, she's going up top!
47:03She's going up top!
47:05Maybe looking for Twisted Bliss,
47:06but instead Lyra able to get to her feet!
47:10And catching the cross-body attempt!
47:13Lyra Valkyria!
47:15Look at the dynamic power!
47:18Nightwing!
47:18The Nightwing is hit!
47:20And now the save by Charlotte!
47:22Well, just like Bailey moments ago,
47:25Charlotte Flair saving her tag partner
47:28and saving this match in the process
47:31because there was no way Bliss was kicking out of that Nightwing!
47:37Oh, pick a winner from here, Joe Test!
47:39Good luck with that!
47:41Just incredible!
47:43As Alexa Bliss feeling the effects of the Nightwing,
47:48desperate to get to Charlotte Flair!
47:50The jaws are dropping all over this sold-out arena in Anaheim,
47:55and now it's Charlotte Flair and Bailey in there!
47:57That's pressed!
47:58Bailey jumps right on her!
48:00Grounded pound by Bailey,
48:01and now Charlotte turns it around!
48:03What an absolute slugfest!
48:05Nothing pretty here!
48:06This is all about grit, determination, and a desire for gold!
48:10Just toe the line in the center of the ring
48:13and determine this thing!
48:15Oh, we got a good one in the Tag Team Championship match!
48:20Oh, what a boot from Flair!
48:23Right to the kisser of Bailey!
48:25Bailey's down!
48:26Is she out?
48:27She might be imminently!
48:29Oh, this could be figure eight time!
48:31She's locking it in!
48:32Charlotte could bridge this!
48:34Arch it!
48:35And put it in!
48:37And retain by submission!
48:39Would you look at this!
48:41Can Bailey survive it?
48:42The figure...
48:43Oh!
48:44Oh!
48:45Lyra will not let that hand tap!
48:49Lyra's holding up!
48:51Twisted bliss!
48:53A twisted bliss breaks it up!
48:56Oh, just when Bailey was looking to tap,
48:59Lyra prevented that!
49:00A twisted bliss!
49:02What more can we get?
49:05How much more can they give?
49:08Insync!
49:10Double natural selection!
49:12Oh, what a show!
49:17Here are your winners!
49:20And still!
49:22The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions!
49:28Lyra's the Bliss!
49:30And Charlotte Blair!
49:34Figure eight survived!
49:37Twisted bliss breaks it up!
49:40And a double natural selection, Wade!
49:43Well, here's your figure eight!
49:44And preventing the tap out was Lyra Valkyria!
49:48And I think this is the moment Joe Tess lost his voice!
49:51A twisted bliss!
49:53Of the very top one!
49:54Wait a second!
49:55Oh, hold on!
49:56The Kabuki Warriors were out here!
49:58Oscar and Kairi Sane!
50:00The Kabuki Warriors have arrived!
50:04And they are attacking!
50:05Well, they've won some verbal warning shots all night!
50:09We want the gold!
50:10We will not be jumped in the line!
50:12And they're sending a loud and clear message to our victors tonight!
50:18Kairi Sane's up top!
50:19Charlotte's lined up in St. Noble!
50:21Oh, this is a devastating beatdown from the Kabuki Warriors!
50:27Kabuki Warriors have been more vicious than ever over the past couple of months!
50:31And Bayley now looking to defend Lyra!
50:37And Bayley stands opposite Oscar and Kairi Sane!
50:42Oscar and Kairi Sane attacked everybody!
50:45And second thoughts about attacking Bayley for some reason!
50:48They pulled off against Bayley!
50:51And Bayley's pretty intimidating, especially this version of Bayley,
50:57but Kabuki Warriors now is wisely backing away there!
51:01Blair and Bliss able to defend the Women's Tag Team Championship!
51:07Such a special night here in Anaheim!
51:10And now, all eyes will be on Salt Lake City!
51:13One of the very best cars of the year!
51:16Set to come your way!
51:17The World Heavyweight Championship on Saturday night's main event!
51:20CM Punk and Jey Uso!
