00:23Plus, the largest WWE superstar in WrestleMania history.
00:28That superstore is amazing.
00:30You can head to www.world.com for tickets.
00:38You know what I mean?
00:39Absolutely, I'm speaking of matches.
00:40You may have heard Carmelo out there talking about the Elimination Chamber.
00:43That's why I brought you in here, to tell you that next week on SmackDown,
00:47you're in a triple threat match with Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams.
00:50And the winner gets a spot in the Elimination Chamber.
00:53You're all right, sounds good.
00:55Hey, Nick.
00:55That's my friend.
00:57Kits.
00:57What was that stunt you pulled last week with Oma Femi?
01:00Stunt.
01:01Hey, do you know what?
01:02You're just lucky.
01:02Because today I choose to weaponize my words and not my fists.
01:08And so...
01:09He got a book.
01:10...a poem.
01:12Uh-oh, wow.
01:15Monday Night Raw is red.
01:17SmackDown is blue.
01:19Real men express feelings unlike you.
01:23Uh-oh.
01:25That was so dope.
01:28You reward meatheads, your leadership obnoxious.
01:32Wake up, Nick.
01:33You are toxic.
01:35Okay.
01:36That's not even right.
01:37I know it don't, but it's still.
01:39Oh, of course you would laugh because you lack emotional intelligence.
01:43You can't enjoy a good poem from the only real man in this room.
01:47Okay.
01:49Okay.
01:50Okay.
01:50Allow me to catch on with Wapa time.
01:53Wapa.
01:54Yeah, sure.
01:56Mm.
01:58Vitals are blue and roses are red.
02:02Did y'all see last week when Oba put kid on his head?
02:08He said he's a real man.
02:11Dog, you can't even go.
02:14Uh-oh.
02:15I think you lost your manhood.
02:17Because I see a camel toe.
02:21You are violent.
02:23The toxic, you're a child.
02:24You're a child for laughing.
02:26Do you know what?
02:27I'm not finished.
02:28You're all toxic.
02:29What are you doing?
02:30I stopped.
02:30Toxic!
02:35Very immature, Joe.
02:36Stop laughing right now, please.
02:39Some respect.
02:54The following contest is a women's elimination chamber qualifier triple threat match.
03:02Introducing first, accompanied by Charlotte Blair, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Blair!
03:15It's nice to Galentine Day besties there.
03:18Go on, leather cat out of the bag.
03:19What did you get me for Galentine's Day?
03:21Stop it, please.
03:22Nothing?
03:22Stop.
03:23Toxic.
03:24Toxic.
03:24Go read some poetry.
03:27Charlotte out there to support Alexa.
03:31She tries to make it to elimination chamber.
03:33Where she won the inaugural women's elimination chamber.
03:36That was back in 2018.
03:44Massive opportunity after what happened in Riyadh.
03:50Do you think that was an accident in Riyadh?
03:52I do.
03:53Yeah, I do.
03:53I think Charlotte was just trying to...
03:55I'm not quite there yet.
03:57Make some eliminations and Alexa got tangled up.
03:59Next thing you know, she was out of Royal Rumble.
04:05Dirtiest player in the game, but I'll let you have that.
04:09Dirtiest player in the game, by the way.
04:36Dirtiest player in the game, by the way.
04:36I don't know.
05:16I don't know.
05:43I don't know.
06:12I don't know.
06:29I don't know.
06:43I don't know.
07:13I don't know.
07:16I don't know.
07:28Okay, so here we go.
07:30Triple threat rules.
07:32First to score a pin four submission on any opponent wins.
07:35And with a win, an advancement to Chicago, to the women's elimination chamber.
07:42Tiffany Stratton, who we saw earlier tonight, is there.
07:46Rhea Ripley is there.
07:48And now it'll be Alexa, Julia, or Zelina.
07:51One, get in there.
07:53Julia's going to be careful then.
07:54Everybody's going for it quickly.
07:57You want a break of anyone else taking a pin.
07:59You want to jump on that immediately.
08:00One pin in your hopes are dashed, even if you are not the one getting pinned, of course.
08:06They all size each other up.
08:08Everybody trying if they could sneak a quick one early on here and advance to Chicago.
08:15As Alexa just throws Julia right into her.
08:17She wants Sister Abigail right away.
08:18You mentioned Alexa Bliss' career a little earlier, Joe.
08:22She has an all-timer resume, multiple-time, I think five-time world champ.
08:27Hasn't held a world championship since 2018.
08:30You go a long way to fixing that with victory tonight and moving on to the elimination chamber.
08:36As Cody put it a little earlier, two victories away from the main event of WrestleMania.
08:42That is the perspective of these three competitors here.
08:45Of course, Cody himself will be in action in one of these qualifying matches later tonight
08:50in our main event against Jacob Batu and Sami Zayn.
08:53A big right hand from Julia.
08:56We saw some powerful women earlier in the match.
08:59This is not about powerhouses right now.
09:01This is about technique, speed, and the devastating strikes that namely belong to Julia.
09:07And you're seeing the skill of the beautiful madness as well.
09:11Oh!
09:13Smashes Zelina down after stretching her out, looking to advance to Chicago.
09:17And you just see Julia getting sharper and sharper as the weeks go by.
09:22Getting up to speed with the style here on SmackDown.
09:25The kind of pace you can expect, completely different to her native world back in Japan, where she was so
09:32successful.
09:34Good counter by Zelina Vega moments ago to stop that Arriba Durchi knee and then put forth her own offense.
09:40And now Alexa Bliss, as everybody grabs a hold of the opposition.
09:46Slams Julia down hard.
09:48Alexa Bliss, such a perplexing individual, but so devastating when she gets on a roll like she is right now.
09:54Harried assault of offense from Alexa Bliss.
09:59Five-time world champion.
10:01Cannonball's off the apron.
10:03And now Zelina has the target lined up as well.
10:07Nice.
10:07Meteora connecting, dropping.
10:10Alexa Bliss, and it's Zelina Vega in full control now.
10:23So Alexa came off the apron against Julia.
10:25And then Zelina was there with the Meteora that landed flush on Alexa Bliss.
10:30And now sends Alexa right back into the ring.
10:33Lateral press.
10:34Gonna take more than that here in this qualifying match to get to Elimination Chamber.
10:37Yeah, and the tactic in a match like this, triple threat when one opponent is down and out of the
10:42ring,
10:42which Julia is right now, you have to make the most of it.
10:45It's your time to get a submission or a pin and get yourself on to the Elimination Chamber.
10:51You have to work quick.
10:52That is Zelina's issue right now.
10:54Picking up the pace, putting the wood to Alexa Bliss and get this thing won.
11:00Oh, look at the way that Zelina is utilizing those ropes.
11:04With a twist on the 6-1-9, she was taught by Rey Mysterio during a time in the LWO.
11:13That's like a 6-1-9, but then stretching out, utilizing the rope, forcing back against the neck.
11:21Now squeezing for Dia live, hoping to choke out Alexa Bliss.
11:26Perhaps stirring on the outside, you can see.
11:33Julia in a rally support here for Alexa Bliss.
11:42Julia chasing Zelina Vega right out of the ring, and now she will take center stage against Bliss.
11:49Well, here's the issue for Bliss.
11:50Bliss has just taken a heck of a beating from Zelina, and now a relatively fresh Julia has hopped in
11:56the ring,
11:56having all that time to recover.
12:00Just mocking Bliss in this crowd.
12:07Well, Alexa's been in tough shape here during the stretch, hasn't she?
12:10Yeah, and clearly on the outside, Charlotte can't do anything to help her tag partner.
12:15Although, based on the incident at the Royal Rumble, that might be a good thing for Alexa Bliss, Joe.
12:20Listen, you have 30 contestants in there.
12:23Everybody's gunning for survival.
12:25Charlotte's trying to get rid of Nia Jax.
12:27The next thing you know, there's collateral damage.
12:31Collateral damage that was rather convenient for Charlotte Flair, who was chasing victory.
12:37But I'm just stirring the pot right now.
12:38You know me, Joe.
12:39Alexa Bliss driving right hands into the midsection.
12:43Looking to rally back here.
12:45Instead, it's Julia.
12:47Rolls through in the basement dropkick.
12:51Zelina back to her feet.
12:53There was panic in the eyes of Keanu James on the outside, who just saw her charge.
13:01Julia get dropped and might be out of this one.
13:04And Zelina, once again, looking to pick up the pace here, perhaps turping out.
13:10Let's do it again.
13:14Let's do it again.
13:19Let's do it again.
13:20Let's do it again.
13:21Let's do it again.
13:22Let's do it again.
13:23Let's do it again.
13:23Let's do it again.
13:23Let's do it again.
13:25Let's do it again.
13:28Let's do it again.
13:34Let's do it again.
13:39from elimination chamber that means a chance to get a world championship match at wrestlemania
13:44alexa bliss julia and zelina are in this triple threat to qualify to make it there to be one of
13:51the six superstars in elimination chamber yeah and you can sense all three of these women have
13:58frayed nerves at this point knowing how easy it is to be eliminated from contention for this
14:04elimination chamber spot and with it the opportunity to go on to wrestlemania julia
14:10united states champion trying to take control here but zelina delivers and now she's climbing up
14:16and kiana james is distracting her up on the apron and with that it gives a window of opportunity for
14:22julia well julia needed it because she was in the drop zone there and zelina was going to go in
14:27for
14:27the kill prevented and that is the benefit of a kiana james megamind on the outside underhooking
14:33potential superplex here wave julia's got her in position this could turn things around you see
14:39wrestlemania there in the background that's what she's trying to get to wow top row butterfly suplex
14:46the balance alone but don't celebrate too much not when alexa bliss is in there triple threat you've
14:54got to watch your back and alexa bliss is taking advantage and now driving forearms knees and a drop
15:02kick to zelina well this is the point in the match we're in that deep water the woman who has
15:07been
15:07there and done it before at the very top of that world championship level is alexa bliss she's the
15:14one with the momentum now the one with the belief doubles it up hooks the leg to advance
15:24every which way she's looking for an opportunity to get to chicago
15:28tiffany stratton is already there rhea ripley is already there who will be the third woman
15:35to make it to elimination chambers saturday february 28th
15:45and bliss sends it something here gonna go big and it has backfired up to her feet
15:53and now quick as could be just like she had zelina moments ago and now zelina is climbing up there
16:00as
16:00well and this could be ugly for all three women oh the impact zelina to qualify for the chamber
16:10the kick out by julia and that is the devastation of being so close to victory
16:16so close to getting into the elimination chamber frustration written all over zelina
16:25these women all fighting on fumes at this point strategy is out of the window it's how deep can you
16:31dig
16:34it's alexa bliss is just crumbled in that corner and right now it's julia
16:38and zelina to decide it and julia with a series of headbutts and now alexa bliss is back to her
16:45feet
16:46and in a trading of strikes like this i generally would back julia but julia just blasted her
16:52knee against that turnbuckle may have done herself a major damage here and that has opened an
16:58opportunity now for alexa bliss as julia is in that drop zone and bliss is going up top
17:09twisted bliss but the knees got up julia got her knees up just in time you gotta sense julia was
17:16playing a little possum there but wow zelina looking for code red looking for the win looking
17:21to qualify and alexa saves it well zelina just struggled a little without being zelina so beat
17:29up this deep into the match nothing is as crisp as it usually is and it costs zelina there oh
17:35boy
17:36and now bliss has that look in her eye big swing and a miss ddt
17:44can alexa grab it right here big knee comes in from julia
17:51tempted and arriva dirty i don't think she got all of it however but this might finish the job
17:56this is when she's at her best
18:00and that northern lights bomb connects to put it away oh and zelina comes in well that is exactly
18:08how julia won the united states championship back several weeks ago with that northern lights bomb
18:16zelina acutely aware of the danger of that breaking up that pin saving it for herself and
18:21we're going into mel down here kiana james getting involved once again not smart and she eats a right
18:27forearm
18:31and then julia gets sent out and that was a heavy landing for julia kiana james desperately trying
18:37to pick julia up might be a lost cause at this point
18:42certainly will be if zelina connects in no intercepted intercepted by alexa
18:49sister abigail ddt
18:57here is your winner
19:05wade they all had their chances julia hit the northern lights bomb zelina found momentum
19:12but in the end sister abigail ddt and now three are in stratton rhea ripley and alexa bliss have all
19:22qualified three spots remain in the women's elimination chamber match
