00:00I hear voices cry
00:02I hear voices cry
00:04I hear voices cry
00:05Just so you know, even though we beat you
00:10a few weeks ago
00:11We're trying to stay good with Nick Albus
00:13but teaming up with you guys is a little
00:15difficult
00:16But you know that will actually make it worth it
00:19when we
00:20help you
00:22to a victory tonight
00:24and then y'all can
00:25go on and
00:26retain those tag team titles
00:28That's a great idea
00:29and then you can
00:30owe us
00:31I shot at those
00:35I shot a
00:37I shot
00:40We will be happy to owe your bidding.
00:45On Monday, we will keep the title.
00:50And after that, we can face it.
00:55We will face you, anytime.
01:00And I think you guys should ready.
01:05For Kabuki Warriors.
01:10Kabuki Warriors.
01:15Kabuki Warriors.
01:20Kabuki Warriors.
01:22Never a good sign when tensions already running high amongst the players.
01:25Teammates.
01:30Kabuki Warriors.
01:35ל
01:35This is what you tell us!
01:40This is what you tell us!
01:45This is what you tell us!

01:55I'll eat, sleep, bleed!
02:00The following is...
02:05An 8th Woman Tag Team Podcast scheduled for one more!
02:09Introducing first!
02:10Dio star Andrea Ripley!
02:15Can we be looking at the next Tag Team Champions?
02:18We'll find out the answer to that!
02:20I question Monday night on Raw!
02:23But coming up next...
02:25An 8th Woman Tag Team Match!
02:27Live on SmackDown!
02:30I'm curious if Cody's skin...
02:35...is thick enough to withstand whatever Drew McIntyre has in store!
02:39And I hope we can withstand...
02:40...this big match-up!
02:418th Woman Tag Team Match!
02:43Here tonight on SmackDown!
02:45We'll be right back!
02:46We'll be right back!
02:50We'll be right back!
02:51We'll be right back!
02:55We'll be right back!
03:00We'll be right back!
03:01We'll be right back!
03:05And their opponents making their way to the ring?
03:08Nail!
03:09The WWE Women
03:09Tag Team Teams!
03:10Tag team champion, Oscar R.E.T.
03:15The Kabuki Warriors!
03:17Corey, Monday night on Raw, these two women...
03:20will defend the tag titles against one of the teams
03:22they're facing here tonight, Rhea Ripley and EOC.
03:25Sky, does that factor at all into this matchup?
03:27It absolutely should have.
03:28When it comes to strategizing before a champion...
03:30you have to try to keep yourself as close to 100% as physically possible.
03:35That's gonna be no easy task for the Kabuki Warriors,
03:37but if anybody can do it, Kairi and Oscar can.
03:40The Kabuki Warriors teaming with Nia Jackson, Lash Legend,
03:44already some tensions on...
03:45on that team.
03:46Remember, Nia and Lash knocked off the Kabuki Warriors last month...
03:50they believe they deserve a tag team title opportunity.
03:52And it's for that very reason I believe this team...
03:55will be able to co-exist because Nia and Lash know they have the Kabuki's number.
03:59It's better than...
04:00the devil you know.
04:01They would rather the championships stay with the Kabuki Warriors
04:03than head around the ways...
04:05of Rhea and EO.
04:06And on the other side of things,
04:07Rhea and EO trying to win the tag title...
04:10so let's believe they are next in line...
04:12for a tag team championship shot...
04:15after Raw on Monday night.
04:19The last time...
04:20all eight of these women were in the ring together.
04:23It was back at the end of November.
04:25at Survivor Series War Games.
04:28And they continue their battle...
04:30really just a testament to how...
04:34stacked the tag...
04:35team division has become...
04:36and before the opening bell...
04:38the Kabuki Warriors Nia...
04:40and Lash gaining the upper hand.
04:41Yeah, it looked like Charlotte and Alexa and company...
04:43were trying to decide who was gonna start...
04:45this matchup...
04:46and it's going to be Rhea Ripley...
04:48as Asuka starts things off...
04:49against...
04:50Ripley.
04:51Rhea lost...
04:52lost to Asuka...
04:53a couple of weeks ago...
04:55Asuka now unleashing...
04:57brutal kicks...
04:58all over Rhea...
05:00Ripley.
05:01Asuka the...
05:02five-time...
05:03tag-team champion...
05:04tied with Raquel Rodriguez...
05:05for the...
05:06most ever...
05:07in...
05:08WWE history...
05:09a Wada style kick...
05:10attacking the damaged nose...
05:12of Rhea Ripley...
05:13that thing could be...
05:14rebroken easily...
05:15trying to send a message...
05:16before Monday night as well...
05:17absolutely...
05:18it's an opportunity...
05:19for the Kabuki Warriors...
05:20helping up the opposition...
05:21prior to their championship contest...
05:22Monday...
05:23Rhea...
05:24Asuka...
05:25they took it so well...
05:27as tough as Rhea is...
05:28it's a risky proposition...
05:29to trade strikers...
05:30with Asuka...
05:31under any circumstance...
05:32Asuka had never beaten...
05:33Ripley one-on-one...
05:34until a couple of weeks ago...
05:35as Kairi Sane is...
05:37dumped out of the ring...
05:38and Alexa Bliss would love a tag...
05:39and guess what?
05:40and here comes Bliss...
05:42just merely...
05:43we see a little hesitation...
05:44OH!
05:45Rhea Ripley...
05:46before tagging...
05:47Alexa...
05:48Alexa taking over...
05:50you...
05:51you...
05:55and to get to your
06:00point a few moments ago.
06:00I don't think any of these
06:01teams are really going to
06:02get along tonight, Corey.
06:03I guess just hoping to.
06:05I don't know what's
06:06suggesting these women go out
06:07for wings afterwards.
06:08We're talking about winning
06:09the.
06:10Match getting the winner's
06:11purse, gaining an upper hand
06:12and enhancing your standing
06:13in the tag team division.
06:15Big boot by Bliss catches
06:17Asuka off guard, but keep
06:18your eyes on Kyrie Sane.
06:20Kyrie bouncing Bliss at the
06:22back of her head off the
06:23turnbuckle and now.
06:25Kyrie Sane allows her
06:26partner Asuka to take
06:27control.
06:28Just next level tag team
06:29chemistry.
06:30from the Kabuki Warriors.
06:32Kyrie recognized that Asuka
06:33had the official's attention.
06:35took the time to gain the
06:37upper hand.
06:40Now a double team coming
06:41from the Kabuki Warriors.
06:44Kyrie.
06:45Kyrie with a kick to the back
06:46of the neck.
06:47There's the double team
06:48again from the tag team.
06:50Champions cover by Sane.
06:52I'm sure the official
06:53was doing there, but.
06:55Nonetheless, now counts
06:57and a kick out of two
06:57by Bliss.
07:00Kyrie now controlling Alexa Bliss.
07:04And this is the first.
07:05step in classic tag team
07:06strategy.
07:07Look for Kyrie, Asuka,
07:09Nia and Lash.
07:10Cut the ring in half.
07:10Keep Alexa away as Nia Jax
07:13is now the legal competitor
07:14and Asuka.
07:15did not seem too pleased
07:16that Nia tagged herself
07:18into this matchup.
07:19The irresistible.
07:20force who has done wonders
07:22in the early going
07:22of the Smackdown career
07:23of Lash Legend.
07:25Well, Lash Legend has had
07:27potential for a long time.
07:28It seems like Nia has finally
07:30recognized what it's going to take
07:31to bring Legend to that next level.
07:35When it comes to raw power,
07:38Nia Jax and Lash Legend simply
07:40unmatched in the women's division.
07:41Lash Legend who owns a victory
07:43over Alexa Bliss.
07:45Last month,
07:46one of the biggest
07:46of her young career.
07:48And now Legend with a...
07:49Oh, big...
07:50splash to Bliss.
07:51Cover, big smile on her face,
07:52but not enough
07:53to pick up the win.
07:54And Legend...
07:55Nia Jax, Corey,
07:55they do have a case
07:56to have a tag team title
07:58opportunity down the road.
08:00Absolutely.
08:01And I think the Kabuki Warriors
08:02know that very well.
08:03But Asuka and Kairi
08:04are focused on the tag team.
08:05This Monday,
08:06that being Rhea Ripley
08:07and EO Sky.
08:08Once you get past that...
08:10challenge,
08:10if you get past that challenge,
08:12you know Lash and Nia awake.
08:15Oh, and Lash just with a clubbing
08:17blow to the back of the neck.
08:18What makes Lash so effective?
08:20Lash is a phenomenal athlete.
08:22She's a blend of size,
08:23speed, power.
08:25and aggression.
08:26Lash,
08:26legend believes she belongs...
08:27Wow.
08:28Look at this.
08:29This is what I'm talking about.
08:30Yeah, that's a look
08:30at that power
08:31you were talking about.
08:32Legend may snap Bliss's arm
08:34in two.
08:35Oh, and a clothesline cover
08:36again by legend
08:37and a kickout,
08:38you were saying.
08:39I think the...
08:40next factor when it comes
08:40to Lash legend
08:41is her confidence.
08:42Even when she arrived
08:43at the performance center
08:44last...
08:45I believe she belonged
08:45in the main event.
08:47Now she's finally
08:47working her way
08:48toward there
08:49and she feels comfortable.
08:50as she could possibly feel.
08:53Now Lash just...
08:55looking Charlotte
08:55as Bliss is trying
08:56to make some sort of tag
08:57to her team.
08:59Last...
09:00knows she's a star.
09:00She's not worried
09:01about the opinions
09:02of the WWE fans.
09:03She's worried about money,
09:04checks,
09:05and championships.
