00:18D.C.P
00:27Don't get ahead of yourselves, ladies.
00:31because neither of you are going to be walking out of the elimination chamber
00:37let alone walking out with the golden opportunity to go to Wrestlemania
00:43you want to know why because I'm in there and soon EO is going to be in there too
00:52and we're going to do what we do best and that's work together until we are the last two standing
01:03but don't let me get ahead of myself because first we need to beat the living crap out of you
01:12two
01:12for thinking that you're going to be walking out of Dallas with our Women's Tag Team Championship
01:23the Women's Tag Team Championship match to open up Friday Night Smackdown
01:29in front of this massive crowd here in Dallas
01:35the hottest division in wrestling and there's no slowing down for the tag champs
01:40constantly number one contenders lurking this time the powerhouse duo of the irresistible forces
01:47what a major test this is for the champs
01:50Nia and Lash have been very outspoken recently that is on the line the gold here in Dallas the Women's
01:58Tag Team Championships
02:01last week there was that backstage confrontation and Nia and Lash legend they said that Rhea and EO have been
02:06ducking them too long was the exact quote as EO's going to try to get things started
02:10against Nia Jax and Rhea fired back and said you know you make a lot of excuses like whiny little
02:16bees
02:17now it's time to stop the talking and just get after it oh drops the elbow down immediately
02:22well what a smart start that was from EO
02:25immediately rushing Nia Jax knowing full well you've got to pull something special to defeat Nia Jax
02:31however the raw power of Nia Jax immediately chopping the genius of the sky back down
02:38right idea the execution just wasn't there and how do you execute against someone like Nia Jax who possesses no
02:45physical weaknesses
02:49now just toying with EO in that corner
02:52yeah that's the mental breakdown now of EO Sky
02:54this is how easy it is for Nia Jax
02:58a big boot by Sky
02:59and then gets out of the way
03:01Fala Braun would be a little too cocky and confident against a multiple-time world champion like EO
03:06and now showing the speed the skill and the dynamic strategy to chop down Nia Jax
03:15and all that momentum in the shotgun dropkick from EO Sky
03:22nicely swinging back the upper hand in the favor of the tag champs here but can they make it stick
03:31a stomping down on Nia as Rhea Ripley has entered the fray
03:36a big knee right into the cover
03:39and that's part of the problem with being like Nia Jax you have such a massive power advantage over everybody
03:45you do come into every match being a little overconfident a little cocky
03:50and this is backfired badly now for Nia and let's see what Lash can do
03:54Lash Legend gets sent out as well
03:58and just the speed of tags and the cohesion of EO and Rhea has been too much to stop this
04:04off
04:04genius of the sky with an early statement here
04:12this crowd absolutely erupting
04:14it is the champions match to lose from this point
04:23that is part of the issue with getting a powerhouse like Nia Jax outside of the ring
04:27you got to drag that carcass back in there to get the dub
04:32unless of course you go for a countout
04:34that is not really in the wheelhouse of Rhea Ripley and EO Sky
04:38they like dominant victories authoritative victories
04:42you might not get one at all at this rate
04:44a massive forearm by Nia Jax
04:46oh the Samoan drop
04:48just turns things around covering for the win
04:51and able to beat the count back and forth they go for the tag team championship
05:05Nia Jax
05:06and Lash Legend
05:07oh cornering EO Sky
05:12this gives you a little example of the kind of reckless nature of a competitor
05:17that EO Sky is
05:18throwing her own body on the line
05:20to get the upper hand
05:21she could have really done with tagging Rhea Ripley in the aftermath of that dive
05:26she went in for the kill
05:28it has now backfired
05:29and EO is in a bad way on the wrong side of the tracks
05:321, 2, 3, 2, 1
05:35able to get that foot on the rope
05:37but you can see how affected her back was there moments ago
05:48Lash Legend who has burst on the scene
05:51the former basketball star in the SEC
05:53at Texas A&M and Mississippi State
05:55before she went off to the WNBA
05:58but she has found her home in WWE
06:02just 5 feet 11 inches of overwhelming power
06:07in that frame of Lash Legend
06:10tremendous coordination
06:13and what a link up this has been with Nia Jax
06:17oh man oh man
06:28Nia and Lash just having their way with EO Sky
06:31this is smart by Nia getting the referee's back turn
06:34so cheap shot from Lash
06:35so we have new champs
06:36oh able to get that shoulder up the kick out from EO Sky
06:39and I'll tell you this right now
06:41this duo of Nia Jax and Lash Legend
06:43very new as a unit together
06:46they have built chemistry incredibly quickly
06:48because Lash smartly realizes
06:50she is effectively the rookie in the duo
06:53Nia Jax is the experienced veteran
06:56and Lash is listening to the instructions and the game plan that Nia is putting together
07:01there's no doubt about it way
07:02two women working to their strengths
07:05and Lash Legend understands her role well
07:07so close to becoming champs right there again
07:10as EO is desperate to make that tag on Rhea
07:14yeah a lot of new up-and-coming stars coming out of NXT
07:18they want to shoot for the top immediately
07:20Lash has been smart
07:21to adhere herself to someone as experienced as Nia Jax
07:26just building the experience levels within Lash
07:30and hopefully winning gold on the way
07:32but look what an incredible counter
07:33shoulders were down as Nia survived it
07:39and Lash goes out to the floor
07:42now that desperate crawl
07:44trying to get over to Rhea Ripley
07:46bore herself some space
07:48is it enough?
07:49inches away!
07:51and Lash Legend rips her down off the apron
07:55dastardly but a fat move right there from Lash Legend
07:59you cannot fail to be impressed by this woman
08:01let the boos ring out
08:03who cares we're here to win gold
08:14the irresistible forces
08:16also known as Nia Jax and Lash Legend
08:19they have been in control
08:20gunning for the women's tag team championships
08:24that's Rhea Ripley and Io Sky
08:27trying to defend here as Io off the back of Nia
08:32could this be the opening for Rhea Ripley?
08:36it has to be
08:36Rhea Ripley has not been tagged in this entire match
08:39Io has taken the brunt of all the offense
08:42she needs this tag now in the worst way
08:45and Nia Jax and Lash have to stop it

09:07well for once Rhea Ripley is physically outmatched
09:10she's now going Lucha style
09:11against these powerhouses
09:13but the power of Lash Legend
09:16able to control Ripley
09:17this is completely outside of the wheelhouse
