00:00The ring is filled with women superstars.
00:07This is a battle royal to determine the number one contender for
00:10Liv Morgan's World Championship.
00:13Over the top rope, both, they hit the floor.
00:16Last woman standing is the number one contender, and here we go.
00:21We neglected to mention that the Women's World Champion and
00:23first ever Women's Crown Jewel Champion Liv Morgan is seated directly beside us,
00:27Michael Cole, along with Raquel Rodriguez.
00:30How could I forget?
00:31Oh, and look at that.
00:32Fantastic athleticism.
00:35Liv Morgan's saying something.
00:39And now, oh, lifted into the corner.
00:42Liv is very upset over here, Cole.
00:44Disrespect is real.
00:46Fantastic teamwork by Katana and Kate.
00:48Listen, here's an interesting note.
00:50Liv Morgan also was the cause of the Women's Battle Royal back in April,
00:55when she also injured Rhea Ripley.
00:57Cole, you gotta see this ring.
00:58That was the Battle Royal where Becky Lynch won the Women's World Championship,
01:01all because of Liv Morgan.
01:03Cole, you're gonna have to call this Battle Royal.
01:04Liv is about to blind me with the bling in this beautiful championship ring.
01:09You gotta get a shot of this.
01:10This thing is stunning.
01:11I saw it Saturday night.
01:12And almost eliminated there was Isla Dawn and-
01:16Oh my goodness.
01:17Leg sweep, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter will eliminate Dawn.
01:21Carter and Chance off to a good start in this matchup.
01:24Now, you see Natalya.
01:25Natalya in the ring.
01:26She was one of the first two women to have the first ever match here in Saudi Arabia,
01:32five years ago, making history on that night.
01:34Fantastic welcome from the crowd here in Riyadh for Natalya tonight.
01:37Ooh!
01:38Tag team champions, Carter and Chance working well together.
01:41Meanwhile, Shayna Baszler.
01:42Uh-oh.
01:43Of the Pure Fusion Collective.
01:45Looking to choke out Kate Carter and Katana Chance from behind.
01:50Katana coming to the aid of her tag team partner.
01:52Oh!
01:53And Sonia Deville will eliminate Carter.
01:55And Deville.
01:56Pure Fusion Collective looking to finish the job they began at the expense of Katana Chance.
02:01You can see Katana's protective face mask for a broken nose suffered at the hands of,
02:05you guessed it, Pure Fusion Collective.
02:07And now Maxine of the Alpha Academy into the fray.
02:13Liv Morgan relaxing here at ringside as we determine who will be her next challenger.
02:19I believe Liv absolutely earned the right to relax tonight.
02:22Baszler just barely hanging on.
02:26An inverted worm by Maxine.
02:28And an elbow drop.
02:29Maxine fired up.
02:32And now Alba Fire looking to eliminate Maxine.
02:38Lands on the apron.
02:40Big right hand.
02:41Maxine answers with a right of her own.
02:44Maxine showing a lot of fire here tonight.
02:48Oh, and Ivy Nile will eliminate her once best friend, Maxine.
02:53Maxine.
03:01Liv Morgan is getting a kick out of this.
03:02Watching them fall one by one.
03:04And here we go.
03:05Caught now by Nile.
03:06Nile catching Zelina Vega.
03:08They've had their issues over the past few weeks.
03:10And now looking to eliminate Zelina.
03:12Vega now on the apron.
03:14I don't think it's going to attempt it.
03:17Uh-oh.
03:18Head scissors brings Nile over the top.
03:20She's hanging on though.
03:21Remember, both feet have to hit the floor.
03:23Zelina Vega from behind.
03:25619 will eliminate Nile.
03:27Battle Royal continues.
03:29Who's going to face Liv Morgan for the title?
03:35And we are back on Monday Night Raw.
03:37Women's Battle Royal to determine who's going to face Liv Morgan
03:41for the Women's World Championship.
03:43Damage control working together here on Natalya.
03:46But however, it's every woman for herself over the top rope.
03:49Both feet hit the floor.
03:50Eliminated.
03:51Last woman standing.
03:52Gets a shot at the title.
03:53As you can see, the field has thinned just slightly with a series of eliminations during
03:57the commercial break.
03:59This being the first.
04:00Tyree Sane with the back fist.
04:03The cutlass.
04:04And then Natalya playing Fire Woman.
04:06She put out the fire.
04:07Alba Fire.
04:08And this is incredible.
04:09You're absolutely right.
04:10This is incredible.
04:11Katana Chance somehow avoided elimination.
04:13Her feet never touched the ground.
04:15Utilizing the rule book to maximum effect.
04:18Unfortunately for Katana, Io Sky was ready to spoil her evening as well.
04:22And then Liv Morgan was just barking in her face after she was eliminated.
04:26So I'm gonna give you a little bit of advice.
04:27You should never suggest a beautiful woman is barking anything.
04:30That's gonna get you in a lot of trouble with Twitter.
04:34Now a little bit of a gentleman, Liv just told me.
04:36Kairi Sane now top rope could be eliminated by Natalya.
04:39Natalya been very impressive so far in this battle royal.
04:43Bianca and Jade still hanging tough inside the ring.
04:49Big time kick by Kairi Sane.
04:52Oh, wow.
04:53Sane eliminated.
04:55And now Jade Cargill.
04:58We got some tag team offense inside the ring from Pure Fusion Collective.
05:02Sonya Deville looking to dunk Natalya over the top.
05:04Yeah, meanwhile the tag champs were taken out.
05:08They're still in the match but they were taken out inside the ring as Natalya.
05:12This is eliminated.
05:13The WWE Universe tonight in Riyadh.
05:15Oh, no.
05:16And now eliminated.
05:17Wait a minute.
05:18Wait a minute.
05:19Wait a minute.
05:20Wait a minute.
05:21Wait a minute.
05:22Cool.
05:23Uh-oh.
05:28We are down to four.
05:37Belair, Cargill, Sky, Valkyria.
05:41Who's gonna get an opportunity at Liv Morgan's world title?
05:44Yeah, but Cole, the thing is it's every woman for themself.
05:47There are no tag teams.
05:49Maybe a strategic alliance, temporary, but-
05:51Well, let's see what happens.
05:52Belair now driven toward the rope by Valkyria.
05:55Io Sky in trouble as well.
05:57Bianca Belair may be eliminated and Jade Cargill gonna save her partner.
06:02Right hand now to Lyra.
06:04Double team for the tag champs.
06:07Bianca Belair has won the Women's Royal Rumble match.
06:10You would have to imagine this is right in Bianca's wheelhouse.
06:13And Belair now into the corner, runs into a loop from Io Sky, the former WWE Women's Champion.
06:19Uh-oh.
06:20And again, we can't forget-
06:21Oh, goodness!
06:22How impressive Cargill was in her Royal Rumble debut match.
06:25Double team.
06:26Sends a former Miss Bunny to bank Io Sky into the corner.
06:29Lyra Valkyria up over the top, hanging on to the apron, as does Io Sky.
06:36And now Cargill and Bianca Belair face-to-face, toe-to-toe.
06:41We're about to see if Liv's prediction is gonna come true.
06:53But before any contact is made, Valkyria and Sky back into the ring.
06:58Uh-oh.
06:59Look at this.
07:00KOD and Jaden at the same time by the tag champs.
07:06You've gotta throw your opponents over the top rope.
07:09Valkyria trying to hang on, and she does.
07:12The woman went to the finals of the queen of the ring.
07:14And now Raquel Rodriguez.
07:15Raquel, there's no disqualification.
07:18In a battle royal, Raquel's got the hair of Bianca.
07:21Cargill's coming to the aid of Bianca Belair, but-
07:24There's a tug of war going on.
07:26And now Morgan getting involved.
07:28And Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have eliminated the tag team champions.
07:34And again, there's no disqualification.
07:37As if tensions weren't already running high between these two duos.
07:46Duos!
07:47Duos!
07:48Duos!
07:49Duos!
07:50Duos!
07:51Duos!
07:52Duos!
07:53I think Morgan and Raquel realize that they made a mistake and the tag champs in pursuit.
07:57Meanwhile, there are two women left in the ring.
07:59You've got Io Sky, Lyra Valkyria, one of these two with an opportunity to earn a world championship shot.
08:08We're gonna send Valkyria over the top rope, but Lyra able to block.
08:14Lyra caught Io with an elbow right on the side of Sky's jaw.
08:17Over the top rope goes Sky, lands on the apron.
08:20Sweeping of the legs is Lyra Valkyria.
08:22She could be closing in, Corey.
08:24Here comes Lyra.
08:27Powered by Io, ripping Lyra over the top rope.
08:31Both women in a precarious position.
08:34Not a lot of real estate to work with on the ring apron.
08:37Another leg sweep by Valkyria.
08:40And both women out on the apron, closing in.
08:43Who's gonna become the number one contender for the world title?
08:46Golden opportunity.
08:48Lyra barely hanging on.
08:52Now she's got her leg hooked on the bottom rope.
08:54And it's Io Sky's turn now to punish Valkyria.
08:57This fantastic strategy thus far about both of these women doing their best to maintain some sort of an anchor.
09:03Io firing up now.
09:13I can't believe these women have survived this long on the apron.
09:16We could be here all night.
09:19No whip being shown by Valkyria or Io Sky, but Lyra now has Io in her clutches.
09:27All she's gotta do is just dump Io down to the floor and Io still fighting back.
09:32Back on her feet on the apron.
09:33Right hand.
09:34Io with a-
09:36Oh my god!
09:37Oh my god!
09:38A German suplex on the apron!
09:39And Sky wins!
09:41Sky wins!
09:42Here is your winner, Io Sky!
09:49Io Sky with a German suplex on the apron to win the Women's Battle Royal and earn an opportunity at Liv Morgan in the world title.
09:58Unbelievable performance.
10:01What an effort by both Valkyria and Io Sky has earned herself an opportunity to become Women's World Champion.
