01:20Charlotte Flair!
01:25She is the NXT Women's Champion.
01:30Three ladies who are Wonder Women, 19-8, make that 20.
01:35And the last time the women main evented TakeOver.
01:40We go back to respect in October 2015 where Bayley defeated Sasha...
01:45...in an instant classic Iron Woman match.
01:48And tonight, the NXT...
01:50...the NXT Women's Championship will hang in the balance in a triple threat.
01:55...of fair.
02:00So much pressure on all three of these women.
02:05Shirai looking to become NXT Women's Champion for the first time.
02:10Ripley looking to compete Charlotte Flair.
02:15The person who beat her at WrestleMania 36.
02:18This is wise by the Queen. There's no count-out.
02:20There's no disqualifications.
02:21Like Shirai and Ripley beat the hell out of each other.
02:25She is the NXT Women's Championship.
02:28I'm made here!
02:29I'm made here!
02:30And let's not forget Charlotte Flair disqualified herself again.
02:35...against Io Shirai using a kendo stick.
02:37She's not afraid to go to some dirty tactics like her daddy.
02:40The NXT fans chanting you don't go here.
02:42Charlotte Flair saying she's made here and she's making real...
02:45...and there's a quick roll-up by Shirai!
02:48And baby Charlotte...
02:50Charlotte Flair wants to introduce herself to the match-up
02:52...knowing she doesn't have to be pinned or...
02:55...submitted to become NXT Champion!
03:00To your point, having been in so many title matches, the experience of Charlotte Flair...
03:05...she's been in so many situations and knows how to rise to the occasion.
03:10Let's not forget about the experience of Io Shirai, the most experienced...
03:15...competitor!
03:17A three-time Joshi Poole wrestler!
03:20Star of the year in Japan!
03:22She conquered the land of the rising sun!
03:25She's looking to become the sun here in the NXT Women's Division!
03:28But not if Charlotte Flair has!
03:30...anything to say about it!
03:32FALL AWAY SLAM!

03:50Wow!
03:51How cool!
03:52And Tom, it's Charlotte Flair...
03:55...dishing out the punishment early in this triple threat match!
04:00This is how Charlotte Flair can command a match, can dominate a matchup, and look at Shirai...
04:05...and Ripley reeling right now...
04:07...neeling for the Queen!
04:09...ever!
04:10...neeling for the Queen!
04:11...neeling for the Queen!
04:12...neeling for the Queen!
04:13...and I have no words!
04:14...and I have no words!
04:15Oh, but Shirai and Ripley now attacking...
04:20Charlotte Flair trying to remove her from the equation, but there's Ripley!
04:25Ripley delivering a headbutt to Io Shirai, remember their one-on-one matchup was...
04:30Well, interrupted by Charlotte Flair!
04:33A lot of bad blood...
04:35...between these two women, Ripley really needs a victory in this situation!
04:40All three women have been at odds, and they look too!
04:45Settle the score here tonight!
04:47That's Flair and drives her shoulder into Io Shirai!
04:50Before Ripley takes Flair off the apron!
04:53Wow!
04:55Ripley crashing and burning outside the ring!
05:00Oh!

05:38Who was...
05:39Well...
05:40It's cleaning house!
05:41And...
05:42In your house!
05:43Oh!
05:44Flair began this...
05:45The matchup very intelligently...
05:46Being opportunistic...
05:47Looking for the right moment!
05:50Yeah!
05:51Very...
05:52Focused...
05:53Very...
05:54Methodical...
05:55And...
05:56This is why...
05:57Charlotte Flair is the most...
05:58Decorated...
05:59Women's...
06:00Champion...
06:01In WWE...
06:02History!
06:0312 title rings!
06:04Incredible!
06:05Including...
06:06Equaling...
06:07Shayna Baszler's mark...
06:08As the only...
06:09Two-time NXT women's chick!
06:10And...
06:11Flair said again...
06:12That she wants other women...
06:13She wants to...
06:14Ele...
06:15Elevate other competitors...
06:16To come to her level...
06:17She wants to bring people up...
06:19Everywhere she...
06:20There she goes...
06:21I think she wants to make sure...
06:22The elevator is going down...
06:24For the lights...
06:25Iyo Shirai...
06:26And...
06:27Rhea Ripley!
06:28Shirai lands on her feet!
06:30Underneath the clothesline...
06:31Off the ropes...
06:32And...
06:33Iyo Shirai...
06:34Showcasing...
06:35Charlotte Flair...
06:36But...
06:37Charlotte Flair...
06:38Now...
06:39Tom Charlotte Flair!
06:40Great transition...
06:41Great transition...
06:42Great transition by the Queen...
06:43Into the Boston Crab...
06:44Will she secure a tap?
06:45About victory...
06:46Tonight at TakeOver!
06:47Just how flexible...
06:48Is Eyo Shirai best?
06:50You see the height advantage there...
06:52Making this maneuver so much more painful...
06:55Is Shirai gonna tap?
06:56Is Shirai gonna tap?
06:57Is Shirai gonna tap?
06:58Shirai may reverse this...
07:00Shirai...
07:01With the up kick...
07:02On Charlotte Flair...
07:03And another one...
07:04Shirai...
07:05I would love to do what...
07:06Jaymar Lusasi did!
07:07To...
07:08To...
07:09Shaka Ray...
07:10Over in Japan...
07:11With the up kick KO...
07:12But now it's Rhea Ripley...
07:13Hoping to knock off...
07:14Charlotte Flair...
07:15A vicious barrage...
07:16Of knee strikes...
07:17Oh...
07:18Oh...
07:19Oh...
07:20Oh...
07:21Oh...
07:22Ripley...
07:23With the war cry!
07:25To...
07:26Basement...
07:27Drop kick...
07:28By Rhea Ripley...
07:29He...
07:30Oh...
07:31Oh...
07:32Shirai
07:33R sunglasses in and catches...
07:35Rhea Ripley...
07:35So Io Shirai now the only one standing
07:40to Rey Mysterio, it's the Tiger fake kick
07:43or as Rey Mysterio calls it.
07:45He calls it six one nine.
07:48Wow.
07:49Beautiful.
07:50Beautiful flexibility from Io Shirai.
07:52Wow, Katsadorov and the double.
07:55Footstomp Io Shirai a step ahead of the competition.
08:00Oh, and again, Tom Io Shirai taking it to the queen.
08:04Let's go.
08:05He's become a first time champion.
08:08And really tags on the floor.
08:10With the drop kick there, but Io Shirai's got to capitalize
08:12on this opportunity with Rhea Ripley out.
08:15Outside the ring.
08:16That's when you handicap this match.
08:18What are the biggest strengths?
08:20Of all three competitors.
08:22In a situation like this, the biggest challenge
08:25is to have eyes in the back of your head.
08:27There's no eyes.
08:27I was asking for their biggest strengths and for...
08:30Rhea Ripley looking for the O'Connor roll.
08:32Roll through.
08:33Rhea Ripley showing up.
08:35Full strength.
08:35Back elbow by Shirai.
08:37And wow.
08:38Both of them.
08:40Trash down hard.
08:43Oh, man.
08:45Two.
08:45Two.
08:47Two.
08:48Three.
08:48Two.
08:48Three.
08:50I hope they may be seeing stars.
08:55What a night it has been here at NXT TakeOver.
09:00In your house, will Charlotte Flair cap...
09:05...off the evening by retaining the NXT Women's Championship, Will Ripley.

09:35Both of her challengers at the same time had two opportunities for covers.
09:39Watch out!
09:40There's this!
09:41Boom!
09:42Charlotte Flair bulldozing through Ripley and Shirai!
09:45Yeah, the fact that Shirai and Ripley were not exchanging pleasantries...
09:50...proved to be, well, valuable for Charlotte Flair who was able to...
09:55...knock both down, and it's Flair standing tall!
09:58We've seen this in the past!
09:59Oh, oh!
10:00Wait a minute!

18:26That Charlotte Flair used!
18:27It's completely...
18:28It's completely...
18:29Illegal!
18:30And a triple threat match!
18:31No disqualifications!
18:34It was not legal when she defended the title against Io Shirai!
18:37But it's Charlotte Flair!
18:39They're taking advantage of the fact there are no disqualifications or...
18:44Oh no like you said Tom!
18:45And Charlotte Flair laying waste to her challenger!
18:49It shows you the frustration of the Queen at this point in the match!
18:53Trying to find a way to...
18:54Put away both Ripley and Shirai and retain her title!
18:57Well it was...
18:58Charlotte Flair!
18:59Oh the spear!
19:00What a spear by Charlotte Flair!
19:02Charlotte Flair said she...
19:04She wants to elevate her opponents!
19:05Well she's been forced to elevate her game here!
19:09Figure 4!
19:10Can she turn it into a bigger 8?
19:11Figure 4!
19:12Can she turn it into a bigger 8?
19:15Ripley's legs so long, so strong!
19:18It's very challenging!
19:19She's trying to get into this position!
19:20Oh man!
19:21Charlotte Flair looking to make it 2 in a row!
19:24The goal against Rhea Ripley!
19:25Wait a minute!
19:26Wait a minute!
19:27The goal!
19:28From the top of the...
19:29The goal...
19:30Yeah!
19:31Oh!
19:32I ol' Shirai has soared to the greatest height!
19:34And new NXT women.
19:39NXT champion, Io Shirai!
19:44And to paraphrase The Rock, finally!
19:49Io Shirai is NXT women's champion!
19:54What a journey for this young woman!
19:59Io! Io!
20:01A despondent Charlotte Flair!
20:03Io! Io!
20:04And a masterpiece of a performance!
20:07Congratulations Io Shirai!
20:09Shirai, you are our new NXT women's champion!
20:14The genius of the sky got so high, she saw the big game!
20:19And here's how it unfolded!
20:21And, Maura, you're right, multiple times we saw Io Shirai...
20:24Shirai go to the air here in this matchup, and it paid off!
20:27This is an instance where...
20:29Charlotte Flair!
20:30Tosteo Shirai into the boy out of the window here on the NXT...
20:34NXT takeover in your house set, and then off the top of the front door...
20:39It was Io Shirai who would take down Ripley in flair!
20:42Again, this was the...
20:44Time for Ripley!
20:45That helped Rhea Ripley capture the NXT women's title!
20:48No!
20:49From Shayna Baszler!
20:51A once upon a time, it was broken up by Io Shirai...
20:54The match would continue!
20:55Charlotte Flair with this enormous spear!
20:58And Charlotte...
20:59And Charlotte would stay on Ripley!
21:00Going for the figure four, the means by which Flair was...
21:04Is able to get Rhea Ripley to top out at WrestleMania!
21:08Charlotte Flair...
21:09Rhea Ripley got into the figure eight, and then BAM!
21:11This moonsault!
21:12Lameo Shirai...
21:13Rhea Ripley...
21:14Rhea Ripley was brutal!
21:15And helped Shirai become champion!
