SportsTranscript
00:00You know, Survivor Series, you'll like this week, is brought to you by Mad Dog by MD2020.
00:07Flavor that hits hard, fitted in your alcohol retailer near you.
00:12Mad Dogs and Englishmen, they go together well, don't they, Michael Cole?
00:18Well, they will do at the bar later tonight, I promise you that.
00:20Oh, it's Americans too.
00:30The WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, new attitude in tow.
00:45She told Good Morning America this week that it is Nikki's time.
00:49She wants to show her young son, Matteo, what she can do in the ring, and that's capture the Women's World Championship.
00:56Now, Nikki Bella made a comeback to in-ring competition not so long ago, earlier this year.
01:04I personally thought there was a little something missing.
01:08I talked some smack about Nikki, it upset some people, including Nikki herself.
01:12But I thought Nikki was a shadow of the first time around when she completely dominated competition.
01:20That was never going to work for someone as accomplished as Nikki Bella.
01:24You're not here to make up the numbers, you are here to stomp this generation and win gold.
01:31And it looks like Nikki Bella has had a little change of attitude.
01:36And for me, it is going to lead her to gold tonight.
01:39Well, a major update, it just landed at WWE Supercard.
01:46Visit wwesupercard.com today and unlock John Cena, Roman Reigns, Chelsea Green, and Rhea Ripley's newest cards for free with code SUPERUPDATE.
01:56Major, major, major opportunity to re-establish yourself back at the very pinnacle of this industry for Nikki Bella, where she belongs.
03:19Stephanie Stratton, she took out Raquel Rodriguez a couple of weeks ago.
03:23And tonight, for the first time at WWE, inside a stadium, in front of over 45,000, Stephanie McHugh defends the championship against the WWE Hall of Famer.
03:36While life changed very quickly, indeed, for Stephanie McHugh when she became the Women's World Champion.
03:46Suddenly, all the knives in the locker room got sharpened and pointed towards her.
03:52She had one friend backing her off.
03:54That was Nikki Bella looking out for her, protecting her, stepping up to the legs of the Judgment Day, who were attacking Stephanie McHugh.
04:02But that just got Nikki Bella closer and closer to what she really wants.
04:08That is the prize on the left shoulder of La Primera, the Women's World Championship.
04:14But when the moment was right, Nikki Bella stopped Stephanie McHugh in the back and let her know that gold is coming home to the Bella Army.
04:25And set up to the ring of the great Alicia Taylor.
04:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Women's World Championship.
04:49The Women's World Championship, the Women's World Championship.
04:53The Women's World Championship, the Women's World Championship, the Women's World Championship, the Women's World Championship.
04:56From Scottsdale, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
05:09And her opponent, Nikki Bella.
05:18From San Fernando, Chile, she is the Women's World Champion, Stephanie McHugh.
05:38You know, Wade, you mentioned a moment ago about how you were lambasted by many of the Bella Army because of some of the remarks you made about Nikki Bella.
05:46However, it seems like Nikki took some of those remarks to heart with this new attitude.
05:51The fact that she wants to win the Women's World Championship and she's going to do it her way.
05:57That's because sometimes the things we say on commentary that are the most hurtful are actually the ones that are the truest.
06:05And I think after a little bit of time, Nikki Bella saw that.
06:09And this is just a completely different woman now.
06:12This is the Bella of old.
06:14She is back and she is hungry for gold.
06:17And I love it. I applaud Nikki Bella for this new approach.
06:21And what a veteran move by Nikki. She saw Stephanie turn her attention away momentarily.
06:26And Nikki Bella pounced on the champion.
06:28Remember, Nikki is a two-time Divas Champion.
06:31At one point held that title for 300 days in her career.
06:35And now Stephanie with a dropkick.
06:37Nikki says herself she's just from a different era where people simply did not play nice.
06:42Because playing nice did not get you what you wanted.
06:46She sees the current era and the likes of Stephanie Vaquer and how everyone's friends.
06:51And she sees them as simply too soft to survive the kind of era that Nikki Bella came up in.
06:57And it's going to be telling tonight if that toughness of Nikki Bella leads her to the gold.
07:02Well, you never can tell what's going to happen over the next few years in Stephanie Vaquer's career.
07:07But you got to admit if she keeps it up, she'll be a Hall of Famer one day.
07:11Much like Nikki Bella.
07:12No doubt about it.
07:13It's been a fantastic 12 months from Stephanie Vaquer.
07:16The difference being it has been a fantastic career.
07:19And I like this.
07:20I like this, Wade.
07:21I like this attitude out of Stephanie.
07:22Not going to take any crap from Nikki Bella.
07:24She's going to take the fight right to her.
07:26I'll tell you the one thing about Stephanie Vaquer that has been true from the beginning.
07:30Is that no matter who her opponent is, she matches them at whatever they do best.
07:35You want to take the gloves off?
07:36It seems like Vaquer is happy to do so too.
07:39And now Nikki McCair and Stephanie now with the right hand to Bella.
07:44Bouncing to Nikki off the apron.
07:46Now sending Nikki right into our announce table.
07:49Right now there's a very different look on the face of the Dark Angel right now.
07:54Looks highly agitated for the past several weeks of disrespect from her former friend, perhaps mentor Nikki Bella.
08:01Wait, think about it.
08:02I mean, she was stabbed in the back.
08:04She trusted Nikki.
08:05Nikki saying all the right things.
08:08Oh, goodness.
08:10And Stephanie Vaquer now injuring the knee.
08:13Nice nimble movement there from Bella and face-planting the champ right down to that thin padding of a concrete on the outside of the ring.
08:23And now Nikki gonna send Stephanie back into the ring wisely because she needs to pin her submit the champ in order to win the title tonight.
08:33Think a lot about how Stephanie Vaquer has had an amazing 12 months.
08:38A lot of people in the locker room are simply not ready to give Vaquer that top-level billing quite yet.
08:47She needs to put together a sustained championship run in order to get to the point that the likes of Nikki Bella have already been at.
08:53Kick out.
08:54Yeah, but think about what Stephanie's accomplished just in a few short months.
08:57I mean, she beat Io Sky, probably the best wrestler on the planet today, right?
09:01She knocked off Tiffany Stratton at Crown Jewel.
09:03Tiffany hadn't lost a match all year.
09:05Yeah, and if she continues to do that for the next five or six years, she'll have the kind of resume that Nikki Bella put together ten or so years ago.
09:13But right now, it's not looking good for the champ.
09:16I agree with you, Wade.
09:17You have to have a sustained run here in WWE.
09:20And Nikki Bella could be closing in on her first Women's World Championship.
09:25Just look how confident Nikki Bella suddenly looks.
09:29This is three weeks ago, she wasn't anything like this.
09:32She was propping up another superstar.
09:35She was the backing dancer for Stephanie Vaquer.
09:38You're Nikki Bella.
09:39You are way too good, way too important, and have way too much left in the tank to be anybody's backing dancer, even the world champ.
09:47Oh, and now, Nikki, slamming Stephanie McCurr in the center of the ring.
09:54I love what Nikki is mouthing off to the world champ.
10:00Do you know who I am?
10:02So what changed, Wade?
10:03Proximity to the championship, perhaps finally realizing that coming back and playing nice was never gonna get her to where she wanted to be.
10:10And people like Nikki Bella only want one thing.
10:14They want to be at the very top of the industry.
10:17She's that kind of competitor.
10:19That's right!
10:21Perhaps that proximity to Stephanie Vaquer over the past several months.
10:26Gained us some insight into the weaknesses of the champ.
10:28Oh, cover now and a kick out.
10:30Weaknesses that are being fully exploited now by the Hall of Famer, who really has found a new gear so far this evening.
10:39Nikki Bella has just completely slowed the pace, completely dominating.
10:46Bella's not even breathing heavily, and she's completely suffocating the champ right now, who has been dominant over the past 12 months.
10:56Do you like this game plan?
10:58I think it's fantastic.
10:59It's completely exposing weaknesses of Stephanie Vaquer, and Stephanie Vaquer thus far has not had any answers at all.
11:08Nikki Bella, she's looking for the rack attack there, and Stephanie is able to fight out of it by grabbing at the top.
11:19Oh, here we go, here we go.
11:20Now, Vaquer now, Vaquer, an arm bar locked in, got a five count before she breaks, and that could turn things around.
11:27Well, Vaquer was hurting, but that technical assassin that lives inside the champ really made the play at the right time of that arm.
11:34Oh!
11:35Spinebuster by Nikki.
11:36Nikki Bella just buying herself enough room that the champ overcommitted on that last attack, and then pounce him when it really mattered.
11:45And again, a better move, Nikki went across the ring, getting in the ropes on the other side.
11:49Hold on, this could be good.
11:50Well, Nikki Bella, perhaps gonna steal a page out of Stephanie Vaquer, but no, Stephanie gonna roll her up.
11:55Shoulders down, and a kick out by Nikki.
11:58Cannot take you that much time against the competitor as good as Stephanie Vaquer.
12:02Back suplex by the champ.
12:04This one may have just swung before our eyes, Cole, and now before your eyes, because I'm about to close mine, to be the big one!
12:13Yeah, don't say anything about this wave, and rolling out now to the apron.
12:18One, two, three, three, and it's gonna force a break.
12:22I think Stephanie was going for the devil's kiss.
12:24Well, clearly was attempting it there, but how small was Nikki Bella to keep rolling and get out of trouble?
12:30Well, there's a new trouble on the right, no there's not!
12:33Nice again from Bella.
12:34Yeah, Grim, great counter by Nikki.
12:37She doesn't like you.
12:38I think she was complimenting.
12:39Oh, really?
12:40Oh, big kick by Stephanie and both women are down, center of the ring.
12:44And that shows you the issue with diverting your attention, even momentarily, to anything but your opponent at the very top level.
12:52When gold is on the line, world championship match, you have to keep your focus locked on one person.
12:59The person you are trying to dethrow.
13:03Stephanie with a headbutt.
13:06Aggressiveness of both women here in this championship match tonight.
13:11This is where it gets down, dirty, and gritty.
13:14This is where champions come out to play.
13:19Big headbutt by Stephanie.
13:21Oh, and a close line by the champ.
13:24With a cutter now, trying to pick up the pace.
13:27Well, Roda, a massive storm from Nikki Bella, and now has transformed this matchup with a volley of offense.
13:36A snap suplex by the champ.
13:39Roll up now on Nikki.
13:41What a pin and a kick out at two, so close.
13:44Fantastic pin there from Vaquer.
13:47All of that weight stacked high on the shoulders of Nikki Bella, and Nikki Bella looks completely transformed from the woman we saw just a couple of minutes ago.
13:56Now clinging on in this match.
13:58Into the corner, runs into a poop by Nikki.
14:01Pulled up just in time.
14:02Yeah.
14:06Nikki caught by Stephanie.
14:08There's that dragon through!
14:10Oh, that is a ligament shredder right there.
14:15Major damage caused to that knee of Nikki Bella.
14:19Well, there's about to be some more damage done, I believe.
14:21Looking for the SVB.
14:23Stephanie McCarebomb.
14:25The knee right to the spine.
14:27Is it enough to put her away?
14:28And a kick out by Nikki.
14:29And Nikki Bella was never gonna give up easily in this kind of match, but that was a hard, hard landing for Bella.
14:36On the back of that surgically repaired neck of hers.
14:40Now Bella is starting to struggle.
14:42An incredible scene tonight.
14:44Over 45,000 at Survivor Series.
14:46Nikki Bella trying to wrestle the Women's World Championship away from Stephanie McCurk.
14:54Hours of recovery there from Nikki Bella.
14:56Bouncing back just when it mattered.
14:57Here we go Cole!
14:58Looking for the rack attack.
14:592.0.
15:00Nothing home there.
15:01Now, oh, Stephanie.
15:03Rolling out of harm's way.
15:04Now into the corner.
15:05Follows it up with a clothesline.
15:06McCara takes out Nikki at the knees.
15:08Both women have their big hitters of their opponents.
15:10So well scouted.
15:11Ready to counter, but you can't counter that!
15:14And Meteora into the corner.
15:18Now groggy as you like is Nikki Bella.
15:21Woozy.
15:23And perhaps taking to the skies.
15:26Nope, not quite.
15:27Maybe she was going for that corkscrew splash that's put away a number of opponents.
15:32And oh, Nikki!
15:33Launching herself with a kick off the second rope.
15:36To the jaw of the champ there.
15:38And the jaw has been rocked.
15:40And now Nikki Bella.
15:41Oh!
15:42Look at her put Stephanie away.
15:43Rack attack.
15:442.0.
15:45Cover.
15:46Hook of the leg.
15:47On the champ who gets her foot under the bottom rope.
15:49But that is the one thing you cannot do.
15:54When a pin is almost guaranteed.
15:57Nikki Bella with all her experience.
15:59Just making an error there on ring positioning.
16:02Can yell at the referee all you want.
16:04But Viqueur getting her foot to the bottom rope.
16:07Just in the nick of time to break that pin.
16:09But living dangerously now is the champ.
16:11And now out on the apron.
16:12Keep it in the ring ladies.
16:13Let's go!
16:14Delivering those forearms to Stephanie Viqueur.
16:16That one now with another forearm.
16:18Viqueur looks wiped out but still bouncing back.
16:21And oh.
16:22Look at where this one's going.
16:24Dropping Nikki right here in front of us.
16:26Nikki now.
16:28Uh oh.
16:29Look out.
16:30Stephanie trying to hang on.
16:31Dangerous situation here.
16:33Power struggle here and Viqueur wins that power struggle.
16:36Oh no!
16:37He ran across the chest!
16:39Oh my god!
16:40Oh my god referee.
16:41Take a good look at Nikki Bella please.
16:43Because that was as nasty as they come.
16:46Driving the uh.
16:48The wind out of Nikki Bella.
16:50And now placing Nikki here on our announce desk.
16:53A little renovating while she's at it.
16:59Uh you think from up here?
17:02You think she from here Wade?
17:05Oh there's no way.
17:06Oh no my goodness!
17:07Oh god!
17:08That's a steel table!
17:09Oh god!
17:10And the devil's kiss to Nikki Bella on the announce table!
17:21Well that has to be the most impactful devil's kiss we have seen yet!
17:27But the count is rising and Canva Kerr get her opponent in the ring here and finish the job.
17:33Yeah that was a uh a unique devil's kiss that time.
17:37You got the best view in the house Michael Cole.
17:40I'm not saying anything.
17:43And now back in the ring a slap by Stephanie.
17:46Well Bella's up but Bella looks defenseless after that.
17:49A back suplex delivered by Viqueur.
17:52And now for the middle of the ring.
17:55Nikki in trouble again.
17:57And devil's kiss for the champion!
18:04Well Nikki Bella is looking like a beaten woman at this point.
18:09But can Viqueur finish the job and secure the gold?
18:14In what would be yet another incredible defense.
18:19Stephanie, top rope!
18:22Courts through flash!
18:27Stephanie retains!
18:29Here is your winner!
18:32And still the Women's World Champion!
18:38Stephanie Viqueur!
18:42Well that was an epic performance from the Hall of Famer Nikki Bella!
18:48But it really all turned with that devil's kiss on our announce table.
18:55And Stephanie Viqueur simply did not look back.
18:59Another test pass by the champ.
19:02So Wade, I've never been this close to the devil's kiss before.
19:13And the smile has not left your face ever since.
19:17But it will not be a smile on the face of Nikki Bella for a long time.
19:21After taking this much punishment on our announce desk.
19:25Remember this was just the first of two devil's kiss applications.
19:30To the face of Nikki Bella.
19:33Who just looked like a corpse at this point.
19:36And perhaps even straight after that move could have been pinned.
19:39But why not ensure the victory?
19:42With this corpse through splash.
19:45And Stephanie Viqueur's arsenal clearly knows no bounce and can do it all.
19:51Hard hitting, technical, high flying.
19:55The sky's the limit for the Women's World Champ Stephanie Viqueur.
20:00Another notch in her belt.
20:03This time she adds a Hall of Famer to her resume.
20:08The Women's World Champion on top of the world.
20:21The Women's World Champion on top of the world.
20:23The Women's World Champion on top of the world.
20:24It's like the
20:35The Women's World Champion on top of the world.
20:37It's like a movie.
20:38And this time she was while celebrating.
20:40And I'm still here and I'm here and I have a couple of season.
20:42I am gonna settle theì•” with you.
20:43But if you don't have a movie.
20:46The Men's World Champion on top of the world.
