01:26He's got a lot of questions though about his一生 tag-team partner that I'll get to here in a moment
01:38Introducing first, from the Isle of Jersey and the English Channel
01:42Accompanyed by Aixxiom
01:44He's won a Frat الذي po transmit to Ratsky
01:46Nathan Frazier!
01:50Wiedziałeś, że we know the pace will be quick,
01:54as no one is faster than Frazier.
01:56His opponent may be able to have an argument about that.
02:00But Axiom,
02:02I see the stuff on social media,
02:04he tied Byron Saxon's shoes together,
02:06Johnny Gargano's one of my best friends,
02:08I've never known him to lie to me,
02:10and some of the things that have been going back and forth
02:12on X and Instagram are a little mind boggling, to be honest.
02:16With what we've seen on social media,
02:18seen on Friday Night Smackdown,
02:20are we sure that even is Axiom?
02:22Oh, now you're just jumping to conclusions here.
02:24But...
02:28Fair point.

03:40Które ani Zenzer na niczp nouve this pos
04:03economically zrty.
04:05I mean, if you can get a victory here tonight, you build your stock, right, heading into the Royal Rumble.
04:12Who knows what could come your way in AAA?
04:15Well, speaking of AAA, we're talking about a former AAA Mega Champion, Latin American Champion, Cruiserweight Champion.
04:20Ray Phoenix has already been there and done that.
04:22Love to do it again. He wants to get back to the top of the mountain.
04:25And all it takes is one win.
04:27And someone who's trying to get to the top of the mountain in his own right is his opponent, Nathan Frazier.
04:31He's had a lot of success in tag team competition, not so much in singles.
04:34Well, one thing Phoenix very well could do again, Vic, you go back to April of 2025.
04:38Phoenix making his WWE debut, a victory over Nathan Frazier.
04:42Yeah, and then it was a very quick time after that.
04:44And correct me if I'm wrong here, Ray Phoenix all of a sudden finds himself at WrestleMania.
04:49Indeed, huge WrestleMania debut.
04:50But one thing he'd love to debut in the Royal Rumble in just over a week.
04:54The Royal Rumble right around the corner.
04:56And then that officially kickstarts the road to WrestleMania in Las Vegas in April.
05:01has Nathan Frazier right now axiom on the outside.
05:04Frazier looking to fly.
05:06Look to dial it up.
05:07Too big on Hilo to the outside, wiping out Ray Phoenix.
05:11And that's what Nathan Frazier does so very well.
05:13This is a man who has never met a risk he did not want to take.
05:17And that is what has made his career go from NXT UK to NXT to SmackDown.
05:22Oh, my word.
05:23He might have just got knocked back to NXT UK.
05:26That's one way to derail the momentum by Ray Phoenix picking up the pace right here.
05:30This Lucha Libre sensation.
05:33And talking about Ray Phoenix, a recent encounter with former two-time NXT champion Trick Williams
05:37on Friday Night SmackDown.
05:38Trick Williams certainly has made an impact in a big way.
05:42Has taken over SmackDown, some would say.
05:45And he's got quite the opportunity coming up.
05:47Cover!
05:48And a kick out.
05:49Quite the opportunity coming up Saturday in Montreal.
05:52Big, in about 48 hours, does Trick Williams have that inside track to be able to go to
05:56the Royal Rumble and face Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed Championship?
05:59Well, you think about Damian Priest, right?
06:00You think about Sami Zayn.
06:01You think about Randy Orton.
06:04I mean, Trick has an uphill battle.
06:05Those are all four men who, rightfully so, deserve an opportunity at Drew McIntyre.
06:11The winner will have earned the right to challenge for the championship at the Royal Rumble.
06:17And with the way SmackDown ended last Friday, Trick Williams very well could have that inside track
06:20right here as Nathan Frazier trying to fight back.
06:23And if you're asking who I think will win, it's always hard to argue against Randy Orton.
06:27And it's always hard to argue against Nathan Frazier once he starts rocking and rolling.
06:30But the same can be said for Phoenix's opponent here tonight.
06:33Phoenix picking up some momentum right here.
06:35And, Vic, we're talking about Triple-A.
06:36How big of a dream come true recently for Phoenix teaming with Rey Mysterio in Triple-A?
06:40I think that's the dream of everyone, you know, that has such a love and respect for the
06:45Lucha Libre in the tradition, so to speak, as right now another turnaround and some high-impact offense.
06:51As Frazier looking for this big combo here going up top.
06:54We know he lives right at home.
06:57Frazier building that momentum.
06:59Frog splash!
07:00Here we go into the cover.
07:01Hooks the outside leg.
07:02Right on the cusp!
07:03Two and three quarters there for Nathan Frazier.
07:06But I think for Rey Phoenix right now, he's not worried about Rey Mysterio.
07:09He'd love to team with him again down the line.
07:11But he's worried about surviving right now.
07:14And Frazier going all the way up top one more time.
07:17With his back here to his opponent.
07:21Oh!
07:22Nice job by Phoenix to evade the attack.
07:25But Frazier comes back the other way.
07:26Stacks him up.
07:27Swords are down.
07:28Again, only two.
07:29I don't know if Frazier had enough of his body onto Phoenix as he would have liked.
07:32But here's some quick combination offense.
07:35And you can hear those strikes from Phoenix.
07:38As Phoenix again!
07:39Oh, my!
07:40Using a springboard that time.
07:42Turning Frazier right around.
07:44As Rey Phoenix in prime position right now.
07:46Now what's he thinking?
07:47In the risky position right here as Nathan Frazier flips him around!
07:51But into a sit-out powerbomb!
07:52Shoulders are down!
07:54And somehow Frazier pops out.
07:56Well, Axiom on the outside celebrating that this match continues.
08:01But the referee was so close.
08:04I mean, you could have slid a piece of paper under his hand.
08:07Ray Phoenix, pure magic each and every time he steps into the ring.
08:10WWE Universe showing their love for both these superstars!
08:13That step-up in Seguri there is going to stun Ray Phoenix.
08:16Risky position right here for Phoenix.
08:19As Frazier.
08:20He's going all the way up top, Vic!
08:23Told you this man never meant a risk.
08:25He didn't take.
08:26As Frazier!
08:27The backflip off.
08:29Going to go right back to it.
08:30Looking for a superplex.
08:33Oh!
08:33Oh, that time Phoenix able to counter a Gordbuster-esque.
08:37And Phoenix!
08:39Look at the athleticism!
08:40Just running right across that top rope!
08:44Bam!
08:44Another kick right under the jaw.
08:46Frazier's rocked.
08:47This is the door for Phoenix right now.
08:49Look at Axiom.
08:50He's worried on the outside.
08:52We're talking about all the opportunity being created right here.
08:54Mexican Muscle Buster in position right now for Ray Phoenix.
08:57Twists him right around into position.
09:00And Phoenix does it again.
09:06Here is your winner.
09:08Ray Phoenix!
09:10What a match.
09:11Wherever you are watching around the world on YouTube,
09:14you should be on your feet applauding,
09:17standing ovation for both those individuals.
09:20Big win here for Ray Phoenix.
09:21Listen to the WWE Universe right now
09:23as Phoenix twisting Frazier right around,
09:26driving him down with that Mexican Muscle Buster.
09:28And Vic, you talked about Phoenix needing a victory.
09:30Needing that momentum.
09:31We're just over a week from the Royal Rumble.
09:33And Ray Phoenix has it all right here.
09:40What a hard-fought battle, yeah.
09:42Certainly a tough one right there.
09:43You see this show of respect.
09:45But Ray Phoenix will finish on top of this match
09:47here on Main Event.
09:48The action continues here on Main Event
09:53as the trash-talking Aussie icon Grayson Waller
09:56goes one-on-one with the stamina monster Akira Tozawa.
09:59Will Tozawa's non-stop high-octane offense
10:01silence the loudmouth from down under?
10:03Or will the Grayson Waller effect
10:04once again steal the spotlight here in Belfast?
10:08Find out next on Main Event.
10:09Everyone's got to tell.
10:23WrestleMania Vegas.

11:37Introducing first,
11:38accompanied by Otis
11:40from Kobe, Japan,
11:42weighing in at 156 pounds,
11:45representing Alpha Academy,
11:49Akira Tozawa!
11:51Getting the action started here,
11:54fresh off of a tag team victory a week ago
11:56here on Main Event.
11:57The Stamina Monster looks to keep pushing forward
12:00in singles action.
12:05Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT,
12:07Vic Joseph.
12:08It's that time of year,
12:09it's starting to get exciting,
12:10almost on the road to WrestleMania.
12:12We always talk about momentum.
12:14This is the man who's looking to carry momentum
12:15into the Royal Rumble.
12:17And could you imagine Tozawa winning the Royal Rumble,
12:21headlining WrestleMania,
12:22or Otis for that matter?
12:24Talk about a major upset indeed,
12:25but hey, they've got the momentum right now, Vic.
12:27Anything can happen in Rhea.
12:36It's your boys,
12:38The New Day.
12:40We all know Kofi Kingston
12:46would love to get back
12:48to a championship match
12:49on the grandest stage
12:50of them all.
12:51And Vic, you want to talk about
13:04one of the greatest tag teams of all time?
13:08It's hard to argue.
13:09I mean, that is exactly
13:10what New Day is,
13:11no doubt about it.
13:13And here's a man
13:14who's trying to get
13:15the New Day rubber,
13:17so to speak.
13:27And his opponent,
13:29accompanied by the New Day,
13:32from Hindi, Australia,
13:34weighing in at 204 pounds,
13:37Grayson Wallen!
13:42Well, Vic, it's a new year,
13:44a new day,
13:45and a new look here
13:45for the Aussie Icon,
13:47making his 2026 in-ring debut.
13:49He's in great shape, right?
13:50I mean, he's totally transformed himself
13:52from the time that,
13:53you know, I was calling his matches
13:55regularly in NXT
13:56to the time Raw, SmackDown,
13:58whatever it may be.
13:59There is no self-doubt in this man.
14:02His self-confidence is through the roof.
14:04If you were thinking of a video game,
14:05it would be 100.
14:07He would be in the 99 club.
14:09Like, that is who this man is.
14:11But you also have to look at it
14:12and go,
14:13is he just in the shadows?
14:14Is he just riding the wave?
14:17Well, for many months,
14:18it looks like you're
14:19after a sauna session as well.
14:20Maybe you do need to hit the sauna.
14:22Maybe that'll help you lose
14:22a few LBs.
14:23What is it with you and my weight?
14:25Going back to Halloween,
14:26I remember.
14:27I mean, I'm just saying,
14:28every week I gotta carry you,
14:29and my legs are getting
14:30a lot stronger,
14:30so maybe you shouldn't lose that weight.
14:32Bell sounds are underway right here.
14:34And, Vic, we're talking about momentum.
14:36How much momentum, ultimately,
14:38does Tozawa and the Alpha Academy have?
14:39I'm sorry that I made that comment.
14:41I'm trying to be a better me.
14:42I thought it was a new year for you.
14:43Yeah, it's a better me.
14:43But, look, Tozawa, a win here,
14:45it would be a huge singles win, right?
14:46I mean, we talk about it all the time,
14:48whether it's a former tag team competitor
14:51like Kit Wilson
14:52or it's a tag team that's going one-on-one.
14:54I mean, Tozawa is going between
14:56tag team competitor, singles competitor.
14:58It's a different style, right?
14:59There's no one there for him to tag,
15:01but he's in there now
15:02doing a little mockery.
15:03Tozawa's having a great time.
15:04There's no doubt his self-confidence
15:06is running high.
15:07Certainly through the roof right here
15:08as Kofi Kingston, none too pleased there.
15:11And, of course, we talked about
15:12them coming off of a tag team victory
15:13last week over the Creed Brothers
15:14for the Alpha Academy right now.
15:17But, Vic, shifting gears right now
15:18to Grayson Waller.
15:19What's next for him on Monday nights?
15:21I honestly don't even think
15:22he knows what's next for him
15:23as Tozawa
15:24using that athleticism,
15:26firing it up with a big drop kick.
15:28But for Grayson Waller,
15:29I think he's a little bit confused.
15:30I think even the general manager
15:32Hang on here, Vic.
15:33A little confused as to what to do
15:35because of the two men
15:36he's talking to right now.
15:39Conference on the outside right now
15:40for Grayson Waller.
15:42A couple of mentors for him,
15:43if you will.
15:44I mean, you can call it that
15:45if you want.
15:46I don't know if everyone believes that
15:47as Waller coming right back in
15:49and gets caught by Tozawa.
15:50We talk about Tozawa and Otis
15:52potentially taking all the Usos
15:53for the World Tag Team Championships.
15:55Vic, how real of a chance
15:56do they have against Jimmy and Jim?
15:58I think anybody has a chance
15:59on any given Monday, Tuesday, Friday
16:01or a premium live event.
16:02And that same thing goes for
16:03the New Day.
16:04That goes for the Creeds.
16:06That goes for a team in NXT
16:07getting an opportunity
16:08any given night.
16:10All it takes is three seconds.
16:12Look at Tozawa right here
16:14showing off those skills
16:14and right to the jaw
16:16as Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston
16:18none too pleased with what's going on
16:19inside the ring right here.
16:20We talk a lot about Grayson Waller's
16:22punching power in the past.
16:23Tozawa also a phenomenal striker
16:25as he's able to land on his feet.
16:27As Tozawa countering right there
16:28creates some separation
16:29from the outside back in.
16:32While Waller knocks him right down.
16:34New Day Zos!
16:35New Day Zos!
16:37As it seems like Europe
16:38not too big of fans
16:39of the New Day either.
16:40Globally disrespected
16:41and internationally known
16:43that is what the New Day is.
16:45New Day turned their back
16:47on the WWE Universe.
16:48this is all on them
16:49as we go back
16:50to some of this action.
16:51Waller in control right now.
16:52Let's take a look.
16:53He's shoving Tozawa
16:54right to that steel ring post.
16:56As right now
16:57Grayson Waller
16:58mocking Akira Tozawa
16:59and of course Waller
17:00the last time he was here
17:01on main event Vic
17:02a loss to Otis.
17:04What's he reaching for?
17:06Maybe taking a page
17:07out of the El Grande
17:07Maritano playbook.
17:09Here we go.
17:09Shoulders are down.
17:10Only one.
17:10Anyways as you were saying.
17:12Last time we saw Waller
17:13here on main event
17:13a loss to Otis.
17:15Well I does think
17:16that's in the back
17:17of Waller's mind
17:18as well
17:19that he's looking
17:19to the outside
17:20and he's trying
17:20to get a little payback.
17:21He's trying to get
17:22a little redemption
17:23if you will.
17:24This is a man
17:24who's very prideful right?
17:25We talk about
17:26the self-confidence.
17:27He doesn't like to lose.
17:28He doesn't like to be able
17:29to walk in the locker room
17:31and not be able
17:31to make a comment to you.
17:32Here we go into the cover.
17:33Hooks the outside leg
17:34off the big discus.
17:36Only gets two right there
17:37for Grayson Waller.
17:38And he may lose 15 in a row
17:39but as soon as he wins
17:40that one
17:41you don't hear the end of it.
17:43That will certainly
17:43swing the momentum.
17:45Woods and Kingston
17:45loving that
17:46back to Woods, Kingston
17:47and Waller.
17:48How do the three
17:48of these gentlemen
17:49benefit each other?
17:50I can see how Woods
17:52and Kofi benefit each other.
17:54Sure.
17:54I think Grayson Waller
17:56benefits them.
17:57The question that I have
17:58is what benefit
17:59does the New Day have
18:01for Grayson Waller
18:02into the roll through.
18:03Leg is hooked.
18:04Only two.
18:05I'm free.
18:05Had to get out of the way
18:06Tozawa rolled right over
18:08our official.
18:10Can't trust that official
18:11by the way.
18:12He puts butter in his coffee.
18:13Yeah, I heard about that.
18:15That's another story
18:16for another day
18:16as Grayson Waller
18:17right now
18:18perching himself up
18:19on that middle turnbuckle.
18:20We've seen this athleticism
18:22in the past here, Vic.
18:24Grayson Waller
18:25measuring and no one home.
18:28And of course,
18:28Grayson had a major
18:29WrestleMania moment
18:30a couple of years ago.
18:31And I think that's
18:32what fuels him, right?
18:33I think maybe that's why
18:34he tries to talk
18:35to the New Day
18:35because there's been
18:36a lot of ups and downs
18:37for Kofi,
18:38for Woods.
18:39They've had to go
18:40through the roller coaster
18:41of what a career is
18:42in the WWE.
18:43And right now,
18:44maybe,
18:44just maybe Waller's
18:45trying to figure it out
18:46but a shining wizard
18:47just decked the Aussie icon.
18:50Now Tozawa going upstairs, Vic.
18:52He likes to end things
18:53flying through the air.
18:54Waller's up though.
18:55And Waller
18:55on the receiving end
18:57of a missile dropkick.
18:58Tozawa.
18:59There we go.
19:00Swords are dealt,
19:00legs are hooked.
19:02Again, only two.
19:03You see the shock
19:03right there on Tozawa's face.
19:06I see what, of course,
19:06love an inside track.
19:07But you can hear
19:08Otis on the outside too
19:09yelling at Tozawa
19:10as it looks like
19:11Tozawa mania
19:13running wild.
19:15Indeed it is
19:15as trying to keep
19:17the momentum rolling
19:18from last week,
19:19that victory
19:19in tag team action.
19:20I look to go back
19:20to singles action,
19:21fireman's carry position
19:22and Waller.
19:24Waller able to use
19:25his size to his advantage
19:26in a little modified DDT
19:28taking Tozawa down.
19:30Now that rolling thunder
19:32stunner perhaps.
19:33Flatliner this time.
19:35Cover.
19:35Face first.
19:36Into the cover.
19:37Oh, and Tozawa
19:38right on the cusp.
19:39Take another look at this.
19:41And it was as you were saying,
19:42we've always seen
19:42Waller hit the stunner.
19:44He pulled out a new play
19:45out of the playbook.
19:46The New Day thought
19:46that was it.
19:47Let's see that.
19:47Bam.
19:48Face first goes Tozawa.
19:49Waller had the confidence
19:50but unable to finish
19:52the job right here.
19:53Waller looking to
19:54try to put Tozawa
19:55down finally.
19:57Oh, what a counter again
19:58by Tozawa.
19:59And he held it.
20:00Cover.
20:00Harkarana,
20:01shoulders are down.
20:03And Tozawa now
20:04trying to pick up
20:05the pace with those strikes.
20:06Oh, so elusive
20:07is Tozawa.
20:08Big kick striking.
20:09Waller going down
20:10and right into the wheelhouse
20:12of the Flying Filet.
20:14And the stamina monster
20:15using that speed
20:16to his advantage
20:17right here.
20:18Vic, last week
20:19he nearly flew out
20:19of our screens.
20:20He's going for it again.
20:21Wait a second.
20:22Oh.
20:23As Otis run right
20:24into the ring steps
20:24by the New Day
20:25distracting Tozawa.
20:26Woods distracted.
20:28Oh, here we go.
20:29Otis on the outside.
20:30Tozawa!
20:31Kofi made him pay.
20:32Tozawa wiping out
20:33equalizing the New Day.
20:35Waller's had time
20:36to get back into it.
20:37And Waller
20:38taking full advantage.
20:39With the stun gun.
20:40Now Waller.
20:41We've seen this new
20:42innovative offense
20:43in the past.
20:45Waller up top.
20:47Flipping.
20:48Driving Tozawa's
20:50face head first.
20:51And the Ossieika
20:52starts his year
20:53with a bang.
20:55Here is your winner.
20:57Grayson Waller!
21:00Look, Grayson Waller won.
21:02There's no doubt about that.
21:03But the turning point
21:04of the matchup,
21:05when you asked me earlier
21:06what does the New Day
21:07provide Grayson Waller,
21:09they provided him
21:10backup in this matchup
21:12and they opened the door.
21:13There you see
21:14Woods distracted Otis.
21:16Kofi taking full advantage.
21:18The official distracted
21:19for a moment.
21:20Tozawa made New Day pain,
21:22but that gave ample time
21:23for Grayson Waller
21:24to refocus,
21:25re-energize,
21:26and then bam!
21:28Drive Tozawa
21:28down into the mat
21:30to, as you said,
21:31kick off the new year
21:32in Waller style.

24:21The following contest is scheduled for one call.
24:25introducing first,
24:25accompanied by Bailey,
24:29from Dublin, Ireland,
24:30from Dublin, Ireland,
24:35Lyra Valkyria!
24:36Will you hear the roar of the WWE Universe?
24:39Back close to home,
24:40the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion,
24:41soaking in this European atmosphere
24:42just over a week from the Royal Rumble.
24:47Yeah, a hometown hero of sorts,
24:56a hero for everything she has accomplished
24:59in a very short time,
25:00but she's out here with Bailey,
25:01who I do consider one of the best women wrestlers
25:05of her generation.
25:06That is not a shot at anyone such as Becky Lynch,
25:07but I'm just saying,
25:08Bailey has done it all in the WWE.
25:11Zobaczcie się, że jest tutaj z Bayley,
25:14która jest jedna z najlepsza kobieta,
25:16która jest jedna z najlepsza kobieta
25:18w tej rodzaju kobieta.
25:20To nie ma żadnego rodzaju kobieta,
25:22ale jestem tylko powiedzieć,
25:23że Bayley zrobił to wszystko w WWE.
25:26I teraz jest w stanie znowu
25:28do tej kobieta, jak Laira Valkyria.
25:31I może być jedna z tej kobieta
25:33w tej kobieta,
25:34że wciąż wciąż wciąż wciąż wciąż.
25:36Wciąż wciąż wciąż wciąż.
25:38To jest Monday,
25:40as the Royal Rumble
25:42is presented by Cricket.
25:44Join Cricket Nation and get reliable
25:46nationwide 5G. Smile,
25:48you're on Cricket.
25:50And by Ram Trucks.
25:52Nothing stops Ram.
25:54And by Intuit TurboTax.
25:56Now this is Texas.
26:00And this
26:02is a massive matchup
26:04and a huge opportunity
26:06for this one.
26:18And her opponent
26:20from Knoxville, Tennessee
26:22representing
26:24American-made
26:26Ivy Nile!
26:28And we go from Bird Lady
26:30to Pitbull as the power and strength
26:32of Ivy Nile looks to make a big statement
26:34here tonight on YouTube.
26:36And this will be a massive win.
26:38Talk about building momentum,
26:40you know, towards the Royal Rumble.
26:42Ivy Nile has been close to championships
26:44in the past, including the championship
26:46you've already talked about, the women's
26:48Intercontinental title.
26:50Indeed, she's been on the cusp of that
26:52several times ever since its inception.
26:54We talked about Lyra Valkyria,
26:56Bailey punching their tickets this past Monday
26:58to the Royal Rumble next Saturday.
27:00But Ivy Nile, a veteran of two Royal Rumble matches
27:02that memorable displays of power.
27:04I mean, she's power personified.
27:06I mean, pound for pound during her time
27:08in the Performance Center in NXT,
27:10she was always, when you walk into the gym
27:12in the Performance Center, there is a wall
27:14of men and women in terms of strength,
27:16agility, all their tests.
27:18She was always at the top.
27:20I think she's still on it.
27:22And that just shows you who she is as an athlete.
27:24And this was someone, too, that during the early days
27:26of her time in the Performance Center,
27:28even after workouts, would put 100-pound sandbags
27:31on her shoulders, I said bags,
27:33and would do laps around the Performance Center
27:36down in the heat of Orlando in the summer.
27:38No one's ever knocked the work ethic of Ivy Nile.
27:40She's been searching for championship gold
27:42from NXT to Monday Night Raw.
27:44And right here in the thick of Royal Rumble season,
27:46looks to maybe gain another opportunity.
27:48Bayley getting some love here.
27:53Come on Lyra, Lyra!
27:59Well, that's what I'm talking about when it comes to Bayley.
28:09It's always amazing to be in this sort of atmosphere
28:13because you just never know what is going to happen
28:16when it comes to the WWE Universe when they come out to a show.
28:19They're always so impactful.
28:21They're so passionate.
28:22And that really is what, when you come over here
28:25and you start to think about what's going to happen,
28:27it's almost like you've got to wonder if you're Ivy Nile right now.
28:30Hearing this, how does that change?
28:32Does that get in your mind?
28:33I mean, these are all these things that go on for a competitor.
28:36Very well could throw off, regain that power on display right here.
28:39Lyra! Nice counter.
28:41Northern Lights suplex variation.
28:43Only gets two.
28:44But Vic, going back to Lyra, Valkyria, and Bayley as a tag team,
28:47do they have a rightful claim to the women's tag team titles?
28:50I don't like to say rightful claim
28:54because I believe you have to earn those opportunities.
28:57With that being said, yes, I do think they deserve an opportunity.
29:02When does that come?
29:03Maybe sooner rather than later.
29:05Shoulders down.
29:06Lyra only gets two.
29:07But look at Lyra, continuing on the offense and pivoting.
29:10And we do know that those championships will be defended this Saturday
29:14at Saturday night's main event in Montreal.
29:17The Judgment Day certainly has a huge opportunity.
29:19But Vic, if you go back over a week ago on Monday Night Raw,
29:22neither Lyra nor Bayley's shoulders were pinned in that triple threat tag team.
29:25I mean, I get what the argument is.
29:27And I understand where you're coming from.
29:29Look at this innovative submission right now.
29:31Bayley loving what she sees.
29:33I mean, now maybe not as much.
29:34Talk about getting the head of the pit bull here.
29:39As Lyra looking to add another feather to her collection.
29:41Oh, and trying to transition.
29:42Nice.
29:43Shoulders are down.
29:44To a crucifix style.
29:45And that's what's so special about Lyra Valkyria when she gets in the ring.
29:48She's just so crafty with everything she can do.
29:50Her body positioning, being able to go from a unique submission like we saw,
29:55and transitioning that into a pin.
29:57And that's what will make her a champion again here in the WWE.
30:01Of course, the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion,
30:03former NXT Women's Champion.
30:05She won the tag team titles last year at WrestleMania with her former mentor,
30:08Becky Lynch.
30:09And then right now in the out-drenched arms of Ivy,
30:11as Ivy trying to reassert that power.
30:13Ooh!
30:14That's certainly one way to swing the tie.
30:16And who was she originally supposed to team with?
30:19Bayley.
30:20Well, that's very interesting, isn't it?
30:21And maybe that's something that's still on Bayley's mind, which...
30:24Here we go, Ivy.
30:25You could give her more credence to possibly wanting to finally hold the women's
30:30WWE tag team titles.
30:31Are you trying to stir the pot again?
30:33I would never.
30:34I know Becky Lynch watches main events.
30:36You already heard your comments earlier.
30:37Well, I'm just saying, you gotta get back in the good graces.
30:41As the pit bull right now in firm control here against Bayley.
30:45Of course, we saw the Creeds on Main Event a week ago.
30:48Right now between the Creeds and Ivy Nile, are these three on the right path?
30:51I mean, you gotta get victories to be on the right path.
30:54And then you gotta get one victory, you gotta make it two.
30:56You get on the right path, you gotta build momentum.
30:58So, once they can string together a series of victories, then I would say yes.
31:03But right now, Ivy Nile on the path to maybe picking up a big statement win here on Main Event.
31:09Signature kick in the corner and a snap suplex.
31:11Soldiers are down.
31:12And that combination won't get Ivy Nile a victory.
31:15You did allude to victory that Vic, rather, that recent opportunity for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
31:20against the former champion Maxine Dupree.
31:22But how about what we saw this past Monday with Maxine and Natalya?
31:25That just goes back to, I think, you gotta go back several years.
31:30And you gotta think of even several months and several weeks of all the training, all the work.
31:35And I can see maybe where Natalya's coming from.
31:38I think that's something that will play out, obviously.
31:40And then I think there's a little bit more than we know that's probably a little bit more deep into the gut of Natalya.
31:47And it's gonna be very interesting to see exactly what she says and what else she does to Maxine.
31:53As Bayley trying to cheer on Lyra Valkyria right here.
31:56Lyra, of course, would love to get back into a singles position of championship contention.
32:00But, of course, right now that women's tag team division from Raw, SmackDown, NXT really starting to heat up.
32:05Yeah, I mean, it's absolutely stacked when you think about, you know, how deep the women's division is across the WWE.
32:11It's hard to stand out.
32:12The one way to do that is to pick up a W.
32:15Lyra trying to create some separation right here.
32:18As Ivy would love to get a big win, get her right back into position and realize those championship goals.
32:23That strength one more time.
32:24Body buckling for a moment on Ivy.
32:26And let's see now if Lyra can take advantage of that little slip from Niall.
32:30And Valkyria trying to utilize this Irish momentum right here.
32:33Look at this combination dialed up.
32:35And Lyra now.
32:37Oh, obeys the attack of Ivy in the step up in Seguri.
32:44And Lyra, we talk about her looking to add a feather to the collection.
32:48Might be taking a feather right here to fly.
32:52As Valkyria.
32:53Bam!
32:56Well, Ivy certainly not going to like what she just saw Lyra flying through the air and she might have to see it a second time.
33:03Valkyria perched, poised, up top.
33:06Stunning the pit bull.
33:07Lyra from all the way upstairs.
33:09Cross body.
33:10Into the cover.
33:11Shoulders are down.
33:12Ivy able to power out and get that right shoulder up.
33:15You see Bayley.
33:16Bayley thought this was over.
33:18Bayley really trying to get behind Lyra right here.
33:20We've seen that friendship blossom on Monday nights over the last couple of months.
33:23Oh.
33:24For Nightwing.
33:25Nice counter here.
33:26Beautiful counter.
33:27Trying to go for that dragon sleeper as Ivy's tapped out several superstars with that.
33:30And Niall with a roundhouse kick.
33:33Shoulders are down.
33:34Leg is hooked.
33:36That was such a great counter by Ivy and you talked about that dragon sleeper.
33:40Yeah, it was locked in.
33:41She's going for it a second time.
33:42Let's see if she can cinch it this time.
33:44Couldn't quite grasp the first time she had it in.
33:47Second time will be a charm.
33:48The pit bull trying to lock those jaws right here.
33:50Look at Lyra.
33:51Look at Lyra.
33:52Looking to get her in the center of the ring.
33:53But Valkyria here being very resourceful.
33:56And Bayley on the outside coaching her up.
33:58Creates that separation.
34:00Ooh.
34:01Innovative offense now by Lyra.
34:03Swinging the tide right back to her direction.
34:06The WWE Universe getting behind the bird lady.
34:09Hoisting up Niall.
34:11Up and down.
34:14Nightwing.
34:15An important feather from Lyra's collection.
34:19Here is your winner.
34:22Lyra Valkyria.
34:27Well, Bayley energized as is the WWE Universe.
34:30It's got to be a great feeling for Ivy Niall here on Main Event.
34:35As Niall looking to recover here.
34:40Lyra Valkyria soaking it in.
34:41Let's see here, Vic.
34:42Up and down.
34:43Bang.
34:44Connects with that Nightwing.
34:45She's looking to get back at a championship contention.
34:48She's punched her ticket to the Women's Royal Rumble.
34:51Now next weekend, Bayley's in.
34:53Lyra's in.
34:54It's every woman for themselves.
34:55Who's gonna emerge and get an opportunity at WrestleMania for
34:59the WWE Women's Championship.
