00:00This is my return!
00:30The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship!
00:39Introducing first, making their way to the ring, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions!
00:48Io Stein and Rhea Ripley!
00:54You know they spent a good chunk of the past year as the most highly competitive opponents
00:58and of course now the greatest of friends with this undeniable chemistry.
01:02Should be a great one, Women's Tag Team Championship match.
01:06Julia trying to become a double champion but Ripley and Io right there to defend.
01:10This match delivered by publishers!
01:20Cody out of here sounds like his Wrestlemania dream is still a possibility but barely
01:26via qualification for the Elimination Chamber and then, for his hope, winning the team.
01:32Winning the team!
01:42R-E-C-P!
01:44R-E-C-P!
01:46And their opponents, the team of Theona James!
01:54And their opponents, the team of Keanu James and the Women's United States Champion, Julia!
02:16Julia has benefited greatly from having her advisor, her official representative, Keanu James, in the mix.
02:25Just as much in the ring as out of it, just managing things for the United States Champion.
02:29Yeah, just massaging the wheels of industry on behalf of Julia, creating opportunities that's already seen her win the United States Championship on more than one occasion.
02:40Now on a mission for tag goal, but let's put a little love on Keanu James and her breakout performances in ring over the past six weeks or so, including in the Royal Rumble match.
02:53This is not some mere advisor, this is a major threat herself.
02:58And as she's pointed to that mega mind of hers, when she connects in the ring and behind the scenes, big things happen for both Julia and Keanu James.
03:07Women's Tag Team Championship Match is our first match of the night in front of this massive crowd here at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
03:18Julia and Keanu earning the opportunity, winning a number one contender triple threat match back on January 23rd.
03:26This match for the Women's Tag Team Championship Match is delivered by Papa John's.
03:33Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.
03:35You can try the new pan pizza from your local Papa John's.
03:40Welcome to the busiest division in all of WWE, this Women's Tag Division.
03:46So many top teams battling out just for an opportunity to compete against Rhea Ripley and EO Sky and opportunity awaits now.
03:59Rhea able to get off the shoulders of James who realizes, I want no part of that right hand.
04:05Losing that mega brain right off the back, keep away from those fists of Rhea Ripley.
04:12You actually don't need a mega brain for that part.
04:15That part is obvious, to be fair.
04:17Now the beautiful madness in against Rhea.
04:24Tag jams have been busy already this year outside of their extracurricular duties in the singles division.
04:31Of course, competing in the Royal Rumble match.
04:33They have competed in several championship matches already in 2026 in that red hot division.
04:39As we saw on Raw this past Monday, the reunited Bella Twins now want a piece of gold sooner or later.
04:46So keep an eye on those two.
04:48EO and Julia towing the line and then the striking combinations and driving down with that boot is Julia.
04:56Oh, and mocking EO.
04:59Oh, how do you know it's not a tribute?
05:01That's not a tribute.
05:03Please, the cascade of booze raining down from this smart crowd here in Charlotte.
05:09What the hell?
05:11But look at the body control of the Genius of the Sky.
05:16Greekish abilities has EO Sky.
05:19Hence the reason why so many millions around the world love the Genius of the Sky.
05:24Oh, sweeping that leg and then bringing the dropkick with all the momentum behind it.
05:31That shotgun dropkick from EO Sky.
05:34EO is just a woman at the absolute peak of her powers.
05:38A gold-laden career already here in WWE that just seems to grow by the month.
05:47Tossed down by the back of the hair.
05:49Women's Tag Team Championship match.
05:52Of course, we are working our way to Elimination Chamber.
05:55Three weeks to go to all the action at the United Center in Chicago.
05:59And we will have qualifying matches tonight, both on the women's side and the men's side.
06:04Shot behind the referees.
06:05No!
06:07Keanu James is draping EO's throat over that top rope.
06:12And that part isn't the smart part.
06:14The cheap shot isn't the smart part.
06:16It's waiting for that prime opportunity behind the referee's back.
06:19Whatever game plan Keanu James put together here, alongside Julia, is working perfectly.
06:31A high-octane offense with a little brutality to it from Keanu James.
06:37Once again, Julia now distracting the referee as the count climbs.
06:43Julia's got to be careful here.
06:45That's right in front of the referee.
06:48Risking a disqualification now.
06:50It'll be a major faux pas in a Tag Championship match like this.
06:55They're just looking for a sustained beatdown of EO Sky.
06:59As they've got to wind up.
07:00Oh!
07:01Off the apron comes Julia.
07:03Did you see that?
07:04James and Julia in control early.
07:11Women's Tag Team Championship match.
07:13EO Sky has been enduring a sustained attack from Julia and Keanu James.
07:19The challengers.
07:20The number one contenders.
07:22She is desperate to make the tag to Rhea Ripley.
07:25Well, call it what it is.
07:26This has been an absolute mauling of the genius of the Sky.
07:30And now Julia giving EO a taste of her own medicine.
07:33Could we have new champs?
07:35That right shoulder gets up of the EO Sky.
07:38That missile dropkick sent EO about three quarters across the ring.
07:42Yeah, and Rhea Ripley, you can see, is sensing championship gold slipping away from her.
07:49As Julia and Keanu close in on the Tag Titles here.
07:54Oh, perhaps an opportunity for EO now.
07:58You can see how affected her lower back is from the beatdown that she took.
08:03Trying to reach out.
08:04Oh!
08:05Keanu James took the shortcut.
08:07This could be the golden opportunity for EO Sky.
08:13As EO screams in agony, the response from Rhea is blocking out and make the damn tag.
08:21And Joe, here it is.
08:23Mommy's arrived, Wade.
08:25Rhea Ripley.
08:32Giving it right back to Keanu James.
08:38Oh, what a slam down.
08:40Physical woman in the division.
08:42Cleaning house.
08:45A little extra something on that basement dropkick.
08:48Yeah, Penn's up Rage and now coming on glue.
08:51Much to that misfortune of Keanu James.
08:54On the Razor's Edge is lined up.
08:57Blindside tag there, but I think Mammy actually saw it.
09:00Got eyes in the back of her head.
09:01Oh, there's a roll up, there's a roll up.
09:05Tag Team Championship match here.
09:07The intensity is really high.
09:09Oh, did you just see the genius of the sky?
09:16The most high-risk woman we have ever seen in WWE.
09:21And once again, it paid off.
09:22Julia completely laid out.
09:25And in a bad way, Mammy might have put this one to bed.
09:29Two to retain right here.
09:30And Keanu James survives it.
09:34Julia is now in a bad way on the floor out here.
09:37She might be out of this for good.
09:39As the tag champs close in on what is likely an imminent retention of the goal.
09:45She's looking for riptide.
09:47Instead, James delivers the big kick.
09:50And then heads to the corner.
09:51And is on the attack.
09:54Keanu James right on top of Rhea Ripley.
09:57The full eye out for writing off the challengers here.
10:00Who's suddenly picking up a major head of steam.
10:04Julia is now the legal woman.
10:06And Rhea Ripley from a 401k for goal.
10:11What a save by Rhea Ripley.
10:14I'm telling you right now, that was over.
10:16That was new tag champs.
10:18401k from Keanu James following up with an Rhea Ripley.
10:23But Mammy had other ideas there.
10:25The big headbutt by Rhea.
10:28And then Julia sends her across the ring.
10:31Back and forth these teams go.
10:35Julia and Keanu James earn their way to be the number one contenders.
10:40And they are bringing everything they have right now.
10:43She was looking for Northern Lights bomb.
10:45But instead, EO.
10:46EO able to counter.
10:48O'Connor roll.
10:49Could it be a way to retain?
10:50Instead, the kick out.
10:52There was a tag there to Rhea Ripley that I don't think Julia saw.
10:56It's been such a chaotic style of match.
10:59There's the riptide.
11:00Over the moonsault.
11:06The combo worked by the champs.
11:12Here are your winners.
11:14And still, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
11:20EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
11:25Well, Julia and Keanu James brought one hell of a challenge.
11:31But in those crucial moments, the tag champs just picked up the pace.
11:35Delivered the guts.
11:36And still, the Women's Tag Team Champions.
11:40EO Sky and Rhea Bloody Ripley.
11:43Wow.
11:49Nick Aldis, a very busy man tonight.
11:52But I am here with the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
11:56Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
11:57Congratulations on another successful title defense tonight.
12:01Talk to me about how you think that went and your competitors.
12:04Julia and Keanu put up a good match.
12:08But these are still our titles.
12:13Exactly.
12:13And look, we're on the way to WrestleMania.
12:17And everyone's supposed to be on their A-game.
12:18But so are we.
12:20And we're not planning on letting go of these bad boys anytime soon.
12:24Well, speaking of the road to WrestleMania,
12:26how do you pivot that quickly from your match tonight
12:29to your Elimination Chamber qualifying match this Monday?
12:33I don't have to.
12:34I'm going to take this momentum straight to Raw.
12:36And even though our priorities are the Tag Team Championships,
12:40we don't mind adding a little bit more gold.
12:43Whatever.
12:44A spot at Elimination Chamber would be wasted on you.
12:47It should have gone to last, but she was screwed over tonight.
12:53Oh, for as big and bad as you guys are,
12:56you sure use some excuses like a couple of whiny little...
13:00Whiny little what, Rhea?
13:02Don't play with me.
13:03It's okay.
13:03You know, you're lucky that we weren't in the ring with you guys tonight
13:06because we would have been walking out the Tag Team Champions.
13:09Is that the challenge?
13:11No, it's a threat.
13:13You know what?
13:14You two have been decking us long enough.
13:16It's time I speak to Nick Aldis.
13:20Well, congratulations again.
13:22I'll let you guys be.
13:23Liv Morgan, Royal Rumble winner, is here next.
