00:00I eat, sleep, bleed.
00:09The demons in your dreams, I eat, sleep, bleed.
00:21The following contest is scheduled for one fall and
00:25the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
00:31Introducing first, making their way to the ring.
00:34They are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
00:40Io Stein and Rhea Ripley.
00:46You know, they spent a good chunk of the past year as the most highly competitive
00:50opponents and of course now the greatest of friends.
00:52With this undeniable chemistry, should be a great one.
00:55Women's Tag Team Championship match.
00:58Julia trying to become a double champion, but
01:00Ripley and Io right there to defend.
01:02This match delivered by Puppet-
01:04We gotta play, are you dead, he does see?
01:08I'll put that so seriously, I'll make you see.
01:12Out of here, sounds like his WrestleMania dream is still a possibility,
01:17but barely via qualification for the Elimination Chamber.
01:22And then, for his hope, winning the game.
01:25Look.
01:26I love you.
01:28Micheal.
01:59And their opponents, the team of Kiana James and
02:04the women's United States Champion, Julia.
02:10Wait, Julia has benefited greatly from having her advisor,
02:14her official representative, Kiana James, in the mix.
02:17Just as much in the ring as out of it,
02:19just managing things for the United States Champion.
02:21Yeah, just massaging the wheels of industry on behalf of Julia,
02:26creating opportunities that's already seen her win the United States Championship
02:31on more than one occasion.
02:33Now on a mission for tag goal,
02:35but let's put a little love on Kiana James and her breakout performances
02:41in ring over the past six weeks or so, including in the Royal Rumble match.
02:45This is not some mere advisor, this is a major threat herself.
02:50And as she's pointed to that mega mind of hers,
02:53when she connects in the ring and behind the scenes,
02:56big things happen for both Julia and Kiana James.
03:00Women's Tag Team Championship match is our first match of the night.
03:04In front of this massive crowd here at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
03:10Julia and Kiana earning the opportunity,
03:14winning a number one contender triple threat match back on January 23rd.
03:20This match for the Women's Tag Team Championship match is delivered by Papa John's.
03:26Better ingredients, better pizza, Papa John's.
03:28You can try the new pan pizza from your local Papa John's.
03:32Welcome to the busiest division in all of WWE, this Women's Tag division.
03:38So many top teams battling out just for an opportunity to compete against Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
03:47And opportunity awaits now.
03:51Rhea able to get off the shoulders of James,
03:53who realizes, I want no part of that right hand.
03:57Using that mega brain right off the bat.
04:00Keep away from those fists of Rhea Ripley.
04:04You actually don't need a mega brain for that part.
04:07That part is obvious, to be fair.
04:09Now the beautiful madness in against Rhea.
04:16Tag jams have been busy already this year outside of their extracurricular duties in the singles division.
04:23Of course, competing in the Royal Rumble match.
04:25They have competed in several championship matches already in 2026 in that red hot division.
04:32As we saw on Raw this past Monday, the reunited Bella Twins now want a piece of gold sooner or later.
04:38So keep an eye on those two.
04:40EO and Julia towing the line.
04:42And then the striking combinations and driving down with that boot is Julia.
04:46Oh, and mocking EO.
04:52How would you know it's not a tribute?
04:53That's not tribute.
04:55Please.
04:56The cascade of booze raining down from this smart crowd here in Charlotte.
05:00But look at the body control of the genius of the sky.
05:08Well, freakish abilities has EO sky.
05:11Hence the reason why so many millions around the world love the genius of the sky.
05:16Oh, sweeping that leg, and then bringing the dropkick with all the momentum behind it.
05:23That shotgun dropkick from EO sky.
05:26EO is just a woman at the absolute peak of her powers.
05:30A gold-laden career already here in WWE that just seems to grow by the month.
05:36Tossed down by the back of the hair.
05:41Women's Tag Team Championship match.
05:44Of course, we are working our way to Elimination Chamber.
05:47Three weeks to go to all the action at the United Center in Chicago.
05:51And we will have qualifying matches tonight, both on the women's side and the men's side.
05:56Down behind the referees.
05:57No!
05:59Kiana James just draping EO's throat over that top rope.
06:04And that part isn't the smart part.
06:06The cheap shot isn't the smart part.
06:08It's waiting for that prime opportunity behind the referees back.
06:12Whatever game plan Kiana James put together here alongside Julia is working perfectly.
06:23A high-octane offense with a little brutality to it from Kiana James.
06:29Once again, Julia now distracting the referee.
06:33As the count climbs.
06:36Julia's got to be careful here.
06:37That's right in front of the referee.
06:40Risking a disqualification now.
06:43It'll be a major faux pas in a Tag Championship match like this.
06:47They're just looking for a sustained beatdown of EO Sky.
06:51As they've got it lined up.
06:52Oh!
06:53Off the apron comes Julia.
06:56Do you see that?
06:56James and Julia in control early.
06:59See the action out on the floor Julia and
07:15Keanu James getting the best of EO Sky.
07:18Rhea Ripley's yelling at me for some reason, I didn't do anything for once.
07:24Just goes to show you the temperament of Rhea Ripley is right at boiling point and
07:29it would behoove both Julia and Keanu James to ensure that EO Sky does not get
07:35anywhere near this tag. Some of that rage that was just directed at me is gonna be
07:40directed at them, but in a far more physical form.
07:51Into the cover, lateral press, hooks the leg, count of two.
07:54Now Zio's just trying to steady herself, looking for any opportunity.
08:01The smarts of Julia and Keanu now, cutting that ring in half, keeping EO on the wrong side
08:08of the tracks, and just putting wood to the genius of the sky.
08:13But I will tell you this right now, it is not a smart strategy to be wasting time in the ring,
08:26mocking EO Sky. You simply cannot give this woman a single break once you have the upper-handed.
08:32Perhaps Julia now realizes that. Or maybe not.
08:38Here comes Julia charging in and delivers to the small of the back of EO Sky.
08:42And you can see her wincing in pain, here's the cover.
08:45And unable to grab gold there as EO survives it.
08:48Some real professional jealousy you sense between these two Japanese ladies.
08:55Julia far from happy with the fact that a marquee name over here in WWE is EO Sky.
09:02James comes in hard to that corner.
09:07It's a running tackle, nothing pretty about it, but it was effective.
09:11There's a certain physicality set early on from Julia and Keanu James.
09:18Oh, that was an absolutely devastating throw into the turnbuckle there.
09:22There was simply no way EO Sky could protect herself on that impact.
09:27And that was why it was so smart from Keanu James.
09:31But of course, fighting away still, there is simply no quit in EO Sky.
09:36Tantalizingly close to that tag.
09:39Desperate to reach out, maybe just a foot and a half away from making that tag with Rhea Ripley.
09:47Wants to make the tag to get out of harm's way.
09:52But also to protect this championship reign that these two are putting together.
09:56Fighting with everything she's got is EO Sky, and you would expect nothing less.
10:03So close, but denied again.
10:06Perfect there from Julia.
10:07Pax Suplex here in the middle of the ring.
10:09Women's Tag Team Championship match.
10:20EO Sky has been enduring a sustained attack from Julia and Keanu James.
10:27The challengers, the number one contenders.
10:29She is desperate to make the tag to Rhea Ripley.
10:32Well, call it what it is, this has been an absolute mauling of the genius of the Sky.
10:36And now, Julia giving EO a taste of her own medicine.
10:40Could we have new chance?
10:43That right shoulder gets up of the EO Sky.
10:45That missile dropkick sent EO about three quarters across the ring.
10:50Yeah, and Rhea Ripley, you can see, is sensing championship gold slipping away from her,
10:56as Julia and Keanu close in on the tag titles here.
11:01Oh, perhaps an opportunity for EO now.
11:05You can see how affected her lower back is from the beat down that she took.
11:10Trying to reach out.
11:12Oh, Keanu James took the shortcut.
11:17This could be the golden opportunity for EO Sky.
11:20Well, as EO screams in agony, the response from Rhea is blocking out and make the damn tag.
11:28And Joe, here it is.
11:30Mommy's arrived, Wade.
11:36Rhea Ripley.
11:39Giving it right back to Keanu James.
11:42Oh, a physical woman in the division, cleaning house.
11:52A little extra something on that basement dropkick.
11:55Yeah, Penn's up rage and now coming on glue, much to that misfortune of Keanu James.
12:02Razor's edge is lined up.
12:03Blindside tag there, but I think Mammy actually saw it.
12:07Got eyes in the back of her head.
12:08Oh, there's a roll up, there's a roll up.
12:12Tag Team Championship match here.
12:14The intensity is really high.
12:16Oh!
12:18Did you just see the genius of the sky?
12:23The most high risk woman we have ever seen in WWE.
12:28And once again, it paid off.
12:30Julia completely laid out.
12:32And in a bad way, Mammy might have put this one to bed.
12:36Two to retain right here.
12:38And Keanu James survives it.
12:41Julia is now in a bad way on the floor out here.
12:44She might be out of this for good.
12:46As the tag champs close in on what is likely an imminent retention of the goal.
12:52She was looking for riptide.
12:54Instead, James delivers the big kick and then heads to the corner and is on the attack.
13:00Keanu James right on top of Rhea Ripley.
13:04A full eye out for writing off the challenges here who is suddenly picking up a major head of steam.
13:12Julia is now the legal woman.
13:14Arriva Durcci from a 401k.
13:17Four goals.
13:18What a save by Rhea Ripley.
13:21I'm telling you right now, that was over.
13:23That was new tag champs.
13:25401k from Keanu James followed up with an Arriva Durcci.
13:30But Manny had other ideas there.
13:33The big headbutt by Rhea.
13:36And then Julia sends her across the ring.
13:39Back and forth these teams go.
13:41Julia and Keanu James earned their way to be the number one contenders.
13:47And they are bringing everything they have right now.
13:51She was looking for Northern Lights bomb.
13:52But instead, EO able to counter.
13:55O'Connor roll.
13:56Could it be a way to retain instead the kick out?
13:59There was a tag there to Rhea Ripley that I don't think Julia saw.
14:03It's been such a chaotic style of match.
14:06There's the riptide.
14:07Over the moonsault.
14:13The combo worked by the champs.
14:20Here are your winners and still WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
14:28EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
14:34While Julia and Keanu James brought one hell of a challenge.
14:38But in those crucial moments.
14:40The tag champs just picked up the pace.
14:42Delivered the guns.
14:44And still the Women's Tag Team Champions.
14:47EO Sky and Rhea bloody Ripley.
14:50Why?
14:52...
14:56...
14:56...
