00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:19Introducing Prices, accompanied by Rhea Ripley!
00:27From WarGames winner to now this.
00:38Io Sky, Rhea Ripley by her side.
00:40They were setting the course for tag team success.
00:42And all hell broke loose, as you saw with the Kabuki Warriors last week.
00:46It's been months of danger and all-out action between Io and Kyrie.
00:51They go one-on-one next.
00:57Wow, KC coming alive for this duo, just over a week removed from their victorious stint inside of WarGames.
01:23Ready to do battle once again.
01:25The genius of the Sky, aided and abetted by Rhea bloody Ripley.
01:30One of the great viral moments we have seen recently was Io Sky once again in Survivor Series WarGames.
01:41With the garbage-can swanton.
01:45There's nobody like her when it comes to WarGames.
01:48And now singles action in front of her here.
01:50In Vegas, everything's a game.
02:05Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
02:11Just tension.
02:13Every move measured.
02:16Every look.
02:17A strategy sharpened.
02:19Always watching your back.
02:24Prepared for anything.
02:30Never knowing who the real threat is.
02:47Or who might show up at the table.
02:58WrestleMania Vegas.
02:59It's anyone's game.
03:04It's anyone's game.
03:05It's anyone's game.

03:31It's anyone's game.
03:32It's anyone's game.
03:33One half of the tag team champions in singles action here with Asuka flanking her.
04:03Well, the whole year for John Cena has come down to this, and we want to set the slate for you as to what you're in store for with Saturday night's main event. Streaming will be the countdown show starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, then Saturday night's main event, the historic moment, John Cena's final match.
04:25It comes against Gunther at 8 p.m. Eastern, and we will have all the reaction, analysis, and interviews on the post show immediately after the main event.
04:37Kyrie Sane with Asuka there supporting her. They've done everything possible to block the forward march of EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
04:45It wasn't long ago, Wade, that Kyrie was emotionally torn over breaking from EO. That is long gone from her conscience.
04:51Well, the ruler is here, Obafemi.
04:57How about the fall from Grey's press of power slam that he hit on Ricky Sane's the other day to recapture the NXT title? That was scary.
05:04Well, NXT's champ, the domineering Obafemi, he gets a massive, massive test this Saturday at Saturday night's main event,
05:15when he takes on the WWE champ, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
05:22What a spectacle that is going to be.
05:25Obafemi, who has been hyped up for the past 12 months, and he's backed up every single word of it,
05:31the biggest test of his career so far at Saturday night's main event.
05:35He is such a physical force, and then you have these two dynamos to start things off here.
05:42We're all live on Netflix from T-Mobile Center here in Kansas City.
05:47EO Sky and Kyrie Sane.
05:53The crowd support for EO has been something.
05:57So we've got action really heating up in the women's tag division, as we saw moments ago.
06:02Five separate teams, including the champs, the Kabuki Warriors, really have state their claim to be the top team right here on Raw.
06:10Now, the champs, the Kabuki Warriors, did indeed compete against Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
06:17A few weeks back, the crown jewel in Perth, and that was a match that Rhea Ripley and EO Sky won.
06:24It certainly adds some weight to their claim that they can beat the tag champs,
06:28and a victory here for EO Sky will magnify that claim even further.
06:34Oh, what a great moment here for Kyrie Sane early on, and then the counter from EO.
06:42Sliding down, pin a combination from EO Sky.
06:45Back and forth they go, a quick pace weight early on.
06:48Yeah, these two stars know each other so well.
06:50Look at this from Sky.
06:51Don't go expect this, going counter for counter, reversal for reversal.
06:56You kind of know what your opponent is going to throw at you before they even do it.
07:01But right now, in the early go, it's EO Sky with the upper hand here.
07:05You bring up the fact of how well they know each other.
07:07How does that factor into what we see?
07:10Right now, it has been all about EO Sky.
07:13EO Sky, who's just been a step ahead of Kyrie Sane, but things may be changing before our eyes, Joe.
07:19Yeah, Sane mocking EO Sky.
07:23Playing with the emotions of EO Sky, who was incredibly upset when the Kabuki Warriors decided to turn on her.
07:29But to be clear, they turned on her because EO Sky showed too much loyalty to somebody else.
07:36That's somebody else being Rhea Ripley.
07:39Now, desperately trying to talk EO Sky back into this match as the pendulum has swung.
07:47Yeah, that was months and months of Asuka being very possessive and trying to set boundaries for the relationship between EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
07:56Well, Asuka has always been the mentor of EO Sky and primarily the reason why EO Sky has got to the very top of this industry.
08:03A lot of people would argue that turning her back on Asuka and siding with Rhea Ripley was a major mistake for the genius of the Sky.
08:12Wade, the momentum she just created with that dropkick.
08:15Yeah, and when you are down on the outside of the ring, that is a dangerous place to be against the geniuses of the Sky.
08:22And clearly, Asuka was only too aware of that behind the referee's back.
08:28Dropping EO Sky and Rhea Ripley coming to play equalizer now.
08:34Chasing off Asuka as she disrupted all that match momentum.
08:39All off the apron!
08:40Exactly the moment to pounce for Kairi Sane.
08:45Damage done behind the ref's back and now a major upper hand for Sane.
08:48You can see Rhea Ripley concerned for EO Sky after Kairi just attacked off the apron, out onto the floor.
09:08And unfortunately for Ripley, there's nothing she can do in return because the referee's eyes are glued on all proceedings now.
09:15Did you hear that?
09:17I did hear that and I promise you, EO Sky certainly felt it!
09:22And this is just a new vicious side of Kairi Sane that we have seen of late since that turn against EO Sky that took weeks for Kairi Sane to embrace ever since she has been a very different woman.
09:44And she's been more effective in ring over the past several weeks than ever before.
09:49Yeah, it is the version of Kairi Sane that Asuka was trying to bring out time and again.
09:54And since she brought it out, she has just increased with her aggression as EO Sky tries to fight back and just gets ripped down by her hair from behind.
10:04They're now getting worn by the referee who certainly did not miss that one, but being lenient here with Kairi Sane, knowing how important victory will be in this one.
10:15Clearly Kairi Sane looking to put EO Sky away and put a major dampener on Sky and Rhea Ripley's claims for a tag championship opportunity.
10:25See Kairi working on that leg now of EO Sky.
10:29Well, that was the leg that EO did land on pretty hard on the outside.
10:34I saw it grabbing that knee and now transitioning from a half Boston Crab into almost a modified grapevine type sharpshooter.
10:42The confidence from Asuka.
10:44You know, from that moment that she got up on the apron, the whole tone of this match has changed.
10:49One, two, three, let's see.
10:52Let me ask you, Joe.
10:53When are you going to get up and dance with?
10:55Oh, Asuka.
10:56I think you'd be a great dancer alongside the Kabuki Warriors.
10:59I think there's a level of danger that I'm not willing to take on in that pairing.
11:04The level of danger that EO Sky now has no choice but to take on as she's cheap-shotted once again behind the referee's back.
11:12How smart and savvy is Asuka?
11:15Now the Crab is locked in.
11:18There's a lot of talk on that lower back of EO Sky.
11:23It's a vertical Boston Crab.
11:26So much leverage under the arms of Kairi Sane here.
11:30And we may be getting a tap out.
11:32It's not something you see too often from EO Sky, who is as tough as they come.
11:37But what a predicament for the genius of the Sky to find herself in.
11:41Back here in Kansas City.
11:55The night opened up with Gunther with a very, very heated statement for John Cena.
12:01We're five days away from Saturday night's main event.
12:03The historic moment when Cena will have his final match.
12:05EO Sky in action now against Kairi Sane, who's on the go.
12:09Oh, she was looking for that big sliding elbow.
12:12But instead, EO Sky able to get an offense.
12:16Yeah, perfect timing there from Sky, who has been put through the ringer so far in this one.
12:20Asuka on the outside numerous times getting involved and hampering the attempts of the genius of the Sky.
12:27But now back in it with those Shote uppercuts.
12:29Well, I'm in a perfect flapjack too, as this one has completely spun around.
12:39EO.
12:40So quick in that corner and then delivers the kick.
12:43Such great footwork once again from EO Sky.
12:47And this is now the danger zone for Kairi Sane, who had victory within her grasp.
12:52And it slipped away.
12:54Genius of the Sky missile dropkick in the kip up and more.
12:59And it's KC audience coming on glue.
13:06And they can sense it.
13:08And so can EO.
13:09She has turned things around.
13:12The bullet train meteor lined up and delivered.
13:16Maximum whiplash to the head of Kairi Sane.
13:19Here's the hook of the leg to put her away.
13:22That was a weak, weak kick out from Kairi Sane.
13:25And Asuka on the outside knows it.
13:27Look of fear in the eyes.
13:29The concern from Asuka.
13:33Of course, Rhea Ripley.
13:34Oh, here we go, Joe.
13:35Here we go.
13:35As well, looking for the over-the-moonsault.
13:37Oh, Kairi up on her feet, Wade.
13:40Well, Asuka was barking the danger over to Kairi Sane, who had enough left in the tank to cut off that moonsault attempt, which would surely have been good night in this one.
13:49What a rough spot for EO to be in here after the moonsault attempt.
13:52And now draped hanging from the top rope.
13:55Oh, and the double stomp is delivered.
14:00And you see EO reaching for her sternum immediately.
14:04The cover.
14:05And again, sliding kick out there from EO Sky.
14:10Two can play at the aerial game in this one.
14:14What a nice aerial stomp there from Kairi Sane.
14:19And a badly, badly wounded EO Sky now.
14:23Maybe in trouble.
14:24Oh, trying to find a little bit of offense.
14:26And look at her, able to turn things around.
14:29Cuts her down with that knee to the leg and the big spinning kick.
14:32Right to the temple of Kairi Sane.
14:38Both women in absolute agony.
14:41Leaving it all on the mat tonight.
14:43And what is Kairi Sane cooking up here?
14:45Off to her feet and then takes down EO.
14:49Just great, great reactions there from Kairi Sane.
14:52And so nimble, able to land that and turn it around.
14:58Of course, a week plus ago, Kairi Sane and Asuka,
15:01they were on the losing side of women's war games against EO and Ria
15:05as two of the five members out on the apron.
15:08This doesn't look good at all.
15:10Oh, but able to land on her feet.
15:12And Kairi doesn't even realize ways.
15:14You should know EO Sky better than that, Kairi.
15:17That was a major error on a bridging German suplex.
15:21And look at her body just fall to the floor.
15:27You simply cannot write EO Sky off.
15:30We should have learned that by now.
15:32We should have learned that a long time ago.
15:35Moves sold out onto the floor.
15:39And there's absolutely nothing Asuka can do to help Kairi from here.
15:44Referee's eyes locked on the action as the count climbs.
15:47Genius of the sky gathering momentum here deep into this match.
15:56Ripley offering support on the other side of the ring.
16:00EO can't pick up the pace like she normally does.
16:02Body so beat up and bruised.
16:04Big kick as EO is looking to springboard for a moment.
16:11And right in the drop zone, Jotess.
16:14Exactly where EO Sky wants her opponents.
16:17And just as she does again, Asuka comes up onto the apron as the ref is distracted.
16:26And here comes Mami.
16:30Oh, we've got ourselves a brawl.
16:33Oh, what a kick.
16:36Being so heated between these two.
16:38Oh, what's that now?
16:39Zia Asuka disposed in timekeeper.
16:43Meanwhile, Kairi Sane back to action against EO.
16:47Perhaps going for that stomp once again.
16:49But EO has tasted that.
16:50And EO does not want a second experience.
16:54Nice hurricanrana type flip there.
16:57Third chance and over the moonsault is three times a turn.
17:02Yes.
17:04One, two, three.
17:10Here is your winner.
17:14EO Sky.
17:15Well, the Kabuki Warriors threw everything they could at EO Sky.
17:21But ultimately, Rhea Ripley being right here to be the equaliser and take out Asuka.
17:28Allowed EO Sky that opportunity to finish the job.
17:32And this was really a massive, massive moment.
17:34That bridging German onto the ring apron.
17:37Followed up by this picture-perfect springboard Asahi moonsault taking down Kairi Sane.
17:44And this is where Asuka, sensed danger, tried to do something about it.
17:49Rhea Ripley had other ideas.
17:52Dropping the Empress of Tomorrow.
17:55Cleaning out the garbage for now.
17:58Allowing EO Sky to do what EO Sky does better than anybody.
18:03And stick that moonsault.
18:06Get the win.
18:07And add further weight to that argument that Rhea Ripley and EO Sky deserve an opportunity
18:12at the women's tag titles.
18:15They have openly stated that is the goal.
18:18Let's see if they get that opportunity.
18:20A good win for EO Sky.
18:22I need to be the best in the world.
18:51And it makes no sense to me.
19:00Did anybody see Rey Mysterio smack me in the face last week?
19:05Yeah.
19:06I didn't like it.
19:07Yeah, I didn't like it either.
19:09Something's got to be done about this, boys.
19:12Huh?
19:13All right, something's, we'll handle it.
19:19You want to handle it?
19:20Let's handle it.
19:21Yeah.
19:22Tonight.
19:23Yeah.
19:25Yeah, 100%.
19:26Paul, can I talk to you for a second?
19:28Yeah.
19:31I'll be right back.
19:34Hi.
19:34This Rey Mysterio situation is getting handled tonight.
19:40Yeah, and the best part about it is now, for the first time in your life, you have backup.
19:46You never had backup before.
19:48Look, I appreciate the backup.
19:51But I want them to know that if they get in trouble, I'm their backup, too.
19:58You know, I didn't think I could respect you any more than I already do.
20:06But I do now.
20:08I love that idea.
20:10But, um...
20:10Just in case.
20:20Just in case.
20:22Just in case.
20:23Just in case.
20:25Just in case.
20:28Just in case.
20:31I like this guy.
20:32I really do.
20:33I'm sorry.
20:34I like him.
20:36Rey Mysterio.
