00:00opponent wins and with a win an advancement to chicago to the women's elimination chamber tiffany
00:08stratton who we saw earlier tonight is there rhea ripley is there and now it'll be alexa julia or
00:16zelina julia's gonna be careful then everybody's going for it quickly you want to break up anyone
00:23else taking a pin you want to jump on that immediately one pin and your hopes are dashed
00:28even if you are not the one getting pinned of course
00:31they all size each other up everybody trying to think it's sneak a quick one early on here and
00:38advance to chicago as alexa just throws julia right into her sister abigail right away you mentioned
00:45alexa bliss's career a little earlier joe she has an all-timer resume multiple time i think five-time
00:51world champ hasn't held a world championship since 2018 you go a long way to fixing that with victory
00:59tonight and moving on to the elimination chamber as cody put it a little earlier two victories away
01:06from the main event of wrestlemania that is the perspective of these three competitors here of
01:11course cody himself will be in action in one of these qualifying matches later tonight in our main
01:16event against jacob fatu and sammy zane oh big right hand from julia we saw some powerful women
01:23earlier in the match this is not about powerhouses right now this is about technique speed and the
01:29devastating strikes that namely belong to julia and you're seeing the skill of the beautiful madness
01:36as well oh smashes zelina down after stretching her out looking to advance to chicago
01:43and you just see julia getting sharper and sharper as the weeks go by getting up to speed with the
01:49style here on smackdown the kind of pace you can expect completely different to her native world
01:55back in japan where she was so successful good counter by zelina vega moments ago to stop that
02:03ribulurchi knee and then put forth her own offense and now alexa bliss as everybody grabs a hold of the
02:11opposition slams julia down hard bless such a perplexing individual but so devastating when she gets on a roll
02:18like she is right now carried assault of offense from alexa bliss five-time world champion cannonballs off
02:28the apron and now zelina has the target lined up as well nice meteora connecting dropping
02:35alexa bliss and it's zelina vega in full control now
02:48so alexa came off the apron against julia and then zelina was there with the meteora
02:53that landed flush on alexa bliss and now sends alexa right back into the ring lateral press
02:59gonna take more than that here in this qualifying match to get to elimination chamber yeah and the
03:03tactic in a match like this triple threat when one opponent is down and out of the ring which julia
03:08is right now you have to make the most of it it's your time to get a submission or a
03:14pin and get
03:15yourself on to the elimination chamber you have to work quick that is zelina's issue right now picking up
03:20the pace putting the wood to alexa bliss and get this thing one oh look at the way that zelina
03:28is
03:28utilizing those ropes with a twist on the 619 she was taught by ray mysterio during a time in the
03:35lwo
03:38that's like a 619 but then stretching out utilizing the rope forcing back against the neck
03:46and now squeezing for dear life hoping to choke out alexa bliss
03:51that's stirring on the outside you can see
03:58julia in a rally support here for alexa bliss
04:07julia chasing zelina vega right out of the ring and now
04:11she will take center stage against bliss well here's the issue for bliss bliss is just taking
04:17a heck of a beating from zelina and now a relatively fresh julia has hopped in the ring
04:22having all that time to recover oh just mocking bliss and this crowd
04:33well alexa's been in tough shape here during the stretch hasn't she yeah and clearly on the outside
04:37charlotte can't do anything to help her tag partner although based on the incident of the royal rumble
04:43that might be a good thing for alexa bliss joe 30 contestants in there everybody's gunning
04:49for survival charlotte's trying to get rid of nia jacks the next thing you know is collateral damage
04:56well that's all damage that was rather convenient for charlotte flair
05:01who was chasing victory but i'm just stirring the pot right now you know me joe
05:05alexa bliss driving right hands into the midsection looking to rally back here instead as julia
05:12rolls through in the basement dropkick
05:17zelina back to her feet there was panic in the eyes of kiana james on the outside who just saw
05:23her
05:24charge
05:27julia get dropped that might be out of this one and zelina once again looking to pick up the pace
05:32here
05:32perhaps turfing out
05:59there is a sense of urgency here on friday night smackdown we are only two
06:04weeks away from elimination chamber that means a chance to get a world championship match
06:09at wrestlemania alexa bliss julia and zelina are in this triple threat to qualify to make it there
06:16to be one of the six superstars in elimination chamber yeah and you can sense all three of these
06:23women have frayed nerves at this point knowing how easy it is to be eliminated from contention
06:29for this elimination chamber spot and with it the opportunity to go on to wrestlemania
06:35julia united states champion trying to take control here but zelina delivers and now she's
06:41climbing up and kiana james is distracting her up on the apron and with that it gives a window of
06:47opportunity for julia well julia needed it because she was in the drop zone there and
06:51zelina was going to go in for the kill prevented and that is the benefit of a kiana james megamind
06:57on
06:57the outside underhooking potential superplex here wave julia's got her in position this could turn
07:03things around you see wrestlemania there in the background that's what she's trying to get to wow
07:09top row butterfly suplex the balance alone but don't celebrate too much not when alexa bliss is in that
07:18triple threat you've got to watch your back and alexa bliss is taking advantage and now driving
07:25forearms knees and a drop kick to zelina well this is the point in the match we're in that deep
07:31water
07:31the woman who has been there and done it before at the very top of that world championship level
07:37is alexa bliss she's the one with the momentum now the one with the belief doubles it up hooks the
07:46leg to
07:46advance
07:49every which way she's looking for an opportunity to get to chicago
07:54tiffany stratton is already there rhea ripley is already there who will be the third woman
08:00to make it to elimination chambers saturday february 28th
08:10and bliss sensing something here gonna go big and it has backfired up to her feet
08:18and now quick as could be just like she had zelina moments ago and now zelina is climbing up there
08:26as
08:26well and this could be ugly for all three women oh the impact zelina to qualify for the chamber
08:36the kick out by julia that is the devastation of being so close to victory so close to getting
08:43into the elimination chamber frustration written all over zelina
08:50these women all fighting on fumes at this point strategy is out of the window it's how deep can you
08:57dig
09:00Alexa bliss is just crumbled in that corner and right now it's julia
09:04and zelina to decide it and julia with a series of headbutts and now
09:09Alexa bliss is back to her feet and in a trading of strikes like this i generally would back julia
09:16but
09:16julia just blasted her knee against that turnbuckle may have done herself a major damage here and that
09:23has opened an opportunity now for Alexa bliss as julia is in that drop zone and bliss is going up
09:32top
09:35twisted bliss but the knees got up julia got her knees up just in time we've got a sense julia
09:41was
09:41playing a little possum there but wow zelina looking for code red looking for the wind
09:46looking to qualify and alexa saves it well zelina just struggled a little with that being zelina
09:54so beat up this deep into the match nothing is as crisp as it usually is and it costs zelina
09:59there
09:59oh boy and now bliss has that look in her eye big swing and a miss ddt
10:09can alexa grab it right here big knee comes in from julia
10:16it's empty then a river dirty i don't think she got all of it however but this might finish the
10:21job
10:21this is when she's at her best
10:26and that northern lights bomb connects to put it away oh and zelina comes in well that is
10:33exactly how julia won the united states championship back several weeks ago with that
10:40northern lights bomb zelina acutely aware of the danger of that breaking up that pin saving it for
10:46herself and we're going into meltdown here kiana james getting involved once again not smart and she
10:52eats a right forearm
10:57and then julia gets sent out and that was a heavy landing for julia kiana james desperately trying to
11:03pick julia up might be a lost cause at this point certainly will be if zelina connects in no
11:10oh intercepted intercepted by alexa sister abigail ddt
11:23here is your winner
11:29way they all had their chances julia hit the northern light bomb zelina found momentum
11:38here is your winner but in the end sister abigail ddt
