00:00This is the Boston girl right here in Mercedes, so she's got the home field advantage.
00:05Look at this. She wants to take it quickly.
00:07But Red Velvet's a tough kid, man.
00:09Battling back 154 days since her last match.
00:13We talked about the injury this summer, Excalibur.
00:16Yeah, not only is Red Velvet a tough kid, she's got championship blood in her veins.
00:21Both her boxer and her uncle were world champion.
00:24Boxers almost getting the pin on Mercedes there.
00:30Look at this. Has a Dora in.
00:34Velvet ducks underneath.
00:36And tonight, our main event for an i-drink match of the night.
00:40Are you crashing like you hit a wall after your energy drink?
00:42Breaks through with i-drink, the clean, crash-free productivity drink that enhances focus and stamina without caffeine or stimulus.
00:47Order now at i-drink.com or Amazon.
00:50AEW 15 off for 15% off.
00:53A stalemate here in the early going.
00:56Champ, what do you think of the action thus far?
00:57Well, listen, you said that i-drink.
00:59It has, it enhances stamina and focus.
01:03And that's what I've been saying Mercedes needs to do this whole time.
01:05She's over here fighting for, what, her 13th title.
01:08And they say 13 might be a lucky number.
01:10But who needs luck when you have the world championship?
01:13You know what I mean?
01:14Absolutely.
01:14Velvet takes down Mercedes, the interim ring of honor women's world television champion.
01:21The one thing you've got going for you is the fact that she is wrestling here on a Wednesday night.
01:26You're not.
01:27So, yes, you could say that you're more wrestled going into Saturday.
01:30Exactly.
01:31She's been doing all these matches, which is commendable.
01:35And I love wrestling as much as her.
01:37Sure.
01:38But with her doing all this, she's giving me so much tape to study.
01:42I'm taking a back seat and also letting the tag tournament shine.
01:46Because I don't need her.
01:48She's beaten me twice.
01:49I don't need her knowing why every single move.
01:51But now, I know every single move that she does because she's giving me so much to watch.
01:56You know, Stat, you made a great point in the fact that you've wrestled Mercedes twice and she's beaten you both times.
02:01What's going to be different this Saturday, in your opinion?
02:04Look, she just has a crowd behind her right now.
02:06Oh, my goodness.
02:07Oh, my God.
02:09Meteor off the apron.
02:12As Mercedes Manet very confidently striding towards the desk.
02:19Okay.
02:19The interim championship and this is great.
02:24She can show me those belts all she wants, but she'll never touch this one.
02:27She has a crowd behind her right now because we're in her backyard, so to say.
02:30But on Saturday, we're going to be basically on my neighbor's patio.
02:33So, we'll see who they like more.
02:36Things breaking down here between Red Velvet and Mercedes Manet.
02:40It's physical.
02:40Oh, Velvet.
02:42God.
02:43Just thrown into Chris Statlander.
02:46Standlander just got sideswiped by that one.
02:52Standlander trying to pick herself up here.
02:55Oh, wait a minute.
02:56Oh, Chris Statlander.
02:57She can't interfere.
02:58She cannot interfere in this match.
03:01Always telling yourself.
03:02Great ball by Inwood.
03:05Mercedes with a belt in the hand.
03:06Red Velvet.
03:08Drawing some inspiration for Eddie Guerrero.
03:10Now, the roll-up two.
03:12And the roundhouse kick.
03:14That's very fitting because Eddie Guerrero inspired Mercedes.
03:18And Mercedes inspired Velvet very nearly.
03:21The finish don't go anywhere.
03:23The action continues live tonight.
03:28Chris Statlander.
03:28She's trying to get untangled here from what happened.
03:34Statlander composing herself.
03:36Trying to get situated here after having Red Velvet thrown into you, champion.
03:40I'm fine, but like I said, she needs to focus.
03:43She has a match, a championship match that she's currently in right now.
03:47And she's still trying to tear me down.
03:49Well, you know you can't get involved in the match.
03:52And that's what she wanted you to do.
03:53You do understand that.
03:55Yes, I know.
03:56Yes, I know.
03:58I'm a champion.
03:59I've been wrestling.
04:00I know you have.
04:01That color, too?
04:03That a lot of things.
04:04I have those same shoes.
04:06Really?
04:07That's tremendous.
04:08Yeah, isn't that cool?
04:09We're matching.
04:10We should text like Brian and I do sometimes.
04:12That does not happen.
04:14I don't text anybody.
04:16That's true.
04:17I just made a joke.
04:18But we just happened to be on the same wavelength and wear matching outfits today.
04:23Yeah.
04:24Whoa!
04:25That suplex delivered by Mercedes.
04:28Now cover.
04:29One, two.
04:31And Chris, I have to commend your composure just being able to calm down, bring the heart rate down,
04:40and crack some jokes with Bryan Danielson, even though Mercedes very clearly trying to get over your skin.
04:45I mean, like I said, she's beaten me twice already.
04:48I've already felt this shame, the humiliation.
04:51It's not about righting those wrongs.
04:53It's about proving to her that I'm different than I've ever been before.
04:56I'm more focused.
04:57I'm more locked in.
04:58And this is everything I need motivation-wise.
05:03You get that proof coming up on Saturday, like you said, in your patio or your backyard, whatever you want to call it.
05:09My neighbor's backyard.
05:10My neighbor's patio.
05:12Got it.
05:13This is Jersey.
05:13I'm from New York.
05:14Right.
05:15Right.
05:15Call that the patio.
05:17The neighbor's patio.
05:18The neighbor's patio.
05:19Oh, my God.
05:22The way on Velvet's back bent when she hit that, the edge of the apron.
05:27Yes.
05:27A very violent defenestration by Mercedes-Monnais.
05:32Velvet crashing hard on the outside.
05:36Bryan, I think we'll take another look at this.
05:38Wow.
05:39She doesn't even like her home.
05:40That's crazy.
05:44As you can see, again, Bryan.
05:46Oh, my gosh.
05:47The other way.
05:49Yes.
05:49Red Velvet just basically scorpioned there.
05:54Wow.
05:54You know, and this is her first match back after being injured.
05:58I'm talking about Red Velvet here.
05:59This is a tough act to come in right after an injury to come in and wrestle Mercedes-Monnais.
06:09But I'm not sure Mercedes-Monnais is taking this super serious.
06:12She seems to be more worried about you, Statlander, than she is worried about Red Velvet.
06:18Look, I've wrestled Red many times myself.
06:21She has no one to take lightly.
06:22She is completely, totally resilient.
06:24And like you said, she has boxer blood, championship blood.
06:29Yeah, that boxing pedigree, a big part of Red Velvet's offense.
06:33We saw it in the flurry of flashes.
06:34But we also just saw her second cover, lateral press.
06:38Velvet fired that shoulder up off the mat.
06:39But we saw her clutching, Bryan, that heavily taped up shoulder after returning to the ring, Red Velvet.
06:46Yeah, I mean, and that's dangerous.
06:48You know, if this match turns into a fight, I actually think it favors Red Velvet.
06:52But if it stays on the mat like this, it definitely favors Mercedes-Monnais, especially with Red Velvet's shoulder being injured.
07:00Full gear presented by DC goes down this Saturday.
07:16But right now, our main event is in the ring to determine the undisputed Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion.
07:22But speaking of champions, the AEW Women's World Champion, Chris Statlander, joining us here at the desk.
07:27Velvet by cover.
07:29The kickout by Mercedes.
07:30And Stat, you will be facing Mercedes this Saturday.
07:33Full gear presented by DC in Newark.
07:36Yes, and not only will I be facing her, I will be pushing her past her limits, just like Red is doing right now.
07:41She's just giving her a taste.
07:43Is that the key?
07:44Is that the key to push her, push her past her limits?
07:48Is what the key?
07:50This?
07:51Yes.
07:53I told you, I've been studying her every move.
07:56I know her better than she knows herself.
07:57Lateral press, the cover made.
08:01Chris Statlander saying that she's done the download on Mercedes-Monnais.
08:06She's internalized everything that the challenger has to offer.
08:10Oh, she's going with a knockout punch.
08:12Oh, oh, Sadie.
08:14Oh.
08:14Caught it now.
08:15Statement maker.
08:17Cinched in and Velvet, she's got that shoulder taped up and I think suffered an injury.
08:24Earlier in this match, but doing a good job of getting her hip underneath her.
08:28Yeah, and freeing up that shoulder.
08:32She's got to get to the rope.
08:33She's getting closer now.
08:34Mercedes rolls back.
08:36Great push off.
08:37Rolls back, but lost the grip on Velvet.
08:40Velvet steps over.
08:41Mahi straw.
08:42One, two.
08:43No, Mercedes kicks out.
08:46And now Mercedes doing some hand fighting as Velvet breaks free.
08:51Looking for a cross arm breaker.
08:52No.
08:54Instead, Velvet are going for a short arm scissors.
08:59A reverse short arm scissors.
09:01This is a compression lock.
09:02It forces your forearm into your bicep with your arm wedged into the elbow.
09:10Now Mercedes, though, reverses Velvet, forced to abandon ship.
09:15Yeah, that could tear a bicep if you're not careful.
09:18And fans, remember our night's not over yet.
09:22Immediately following our broadcast here, it will be the countdown to Full Gear next on TBS and HBO Max.
09:28And then next week, Thanksgiving Eve, the Continental Classic, the annual round-round tournament kicks off one week from tonight on Dynamite from Nashville, Tennessee.
09:39And world champion Chris Dantlander standing right beside us here, studying what's going on.
09:44Defending the title, of course, on Saturday at Full Gear.
09:47Oh, what do you see?
09:50Against Mercedes Monet.
09:52Wow.
09:52As much as I want Red to wrap this up and take it home just to rub it in Mercedes' face.
09:56Wait a second, cover.
09:57The leg is hooked.
09:58The longer this goes on, the more that I'm scouting everything that Mercedes does and how she gets out of things.
10:03And, like I said, I'm going to know her.
10:05Well, and she just landed on her head.
10:07Is that something that you're going to target on Saturday?
10:11Absolutely.
10:11Absolutely.
10:12Especially my finish.
10:14The Saturday night fever drops her right on her head.
10:18Of course I'm aiming for that.
10:21Yeah, that was a great German suplex by Red Velvet.
10:25And she's got Mercedes locked in a submission here.
10:28How about Mercedes?
10:29Oh, no.
10:29And Mercedes!
10:31Oh, the big-time lung-blower there.
10:35Now the leg is hooked.
10:36And covers Maeve and Velvet able to kick out.
10:39Yeah, and kicking out with her injured arm.
10:41You can tell how much this Ring of Honor Women's TV Championship means to Red Velvet.
10:48She's here in Mercedes' hometown.
10:51And she's giving it her all.
10:54Mercedes looking to press her advantage.
10:55And fans, some breaking news.
10:56If you were watching earlier, you saw Kyle O'Reilly throw out the challenge to Jon Moxley
11:00to meet him in a no-holds-barred match this Saturday at Full Gear presented by DC.
11:04And it is official.
11:05Tony Khan has made it so.
11:07Moxley.
11:08Kyle O'Reilly, no-holds-barred this Saturday night at Full Gear.
11:11Oh, what a match that's going to be.
11:13Oh!
11:15What a night it's going to be.
11:16One, two!
11:19Oh!
11:20Look, like you said, as Red is clearly showing how much that this Ring of Honor Women's TV Championship means to her,
11:28when, like you said, this is just another trinket, another accessory to Mercedes,
11:32when she keeps trying to grab more and more and more.
11:34She never admires what she already has.
11:37And that's why she can never win this.
11:40This requires full attention.
11:43Of course, the women's...
11:44The AEW Women's World Championship is what Chris Stantlander is referring to.
11:48But right now, Mercedes with Velvet and Ferdinand.
11:51Velvet!
11:52Like a flying head scissor there.
11:54Velvet is so athletic, Scalibur.
11:57Yeah, this is her first match back from injury.
12:00She's performing well.
12:02She could...
12:03I mean, this could be a huge upset just days before Full Gear.
12:08And what would that do to Mercedes' confidence heading into the battle with Chris Stantlander this Saturday night?
12:15I tell you what it'll do.
12:16It'll be her downfall.
12:18Her vanity will be her undoing.
12:21Oh!
12:23Oh, God!
12:24One, two, three!
12:30The winner of this match and the undisputed Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion, Mercedes Monáe!
12:43Well, Mercedes Monáe is undisputedly the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion.
12:52Oh!
12:52Oh!
12:52Oh!
12:53Oh!
12:57Now Mercedes the attack on Stantlander!
13:00Stantlander completely caught off guard by Mercedes!
13:06Mercedes!
13:08Coming into Full Gear!
13:11With such momentum, Tony!
13:14And now this assault!
13:16Now this assault, and Brian, I'm telling you, she can hurt the world.
13:20She lets her go, but not only a statement maker there, who's going to be the favorite?
13:26Is it the king or is it the lady with 13 belts?
13:30Yeah, and if you saw there, Stantlander was tapping.
13:34Yes!
13:35Will she tap on Saturday if Mercedes gets that?
13:39Will it be 14 belts?
13:46Yes, that is the question, Brian, for Mercedes Monáe holding the AEW Women's World Champion.
13:54Will she be crowned champion?
13:55Will it be number 14 this Saturday night?
14:00Will it be 14th?
14:00Will it be 14th?
14:01We are just...
