00:00As we go back to the ring, here's Arkan Yaro.
00:03The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships!
00:15Introducing first the challengers, Penelope Ford and Megan Payne, Mega Bad!
00:26Ten days ago at Dynamite, this duo of Penelope Ford and Megan Payne winning an Eliminator match over Harley Cameron
00:35and Roan Nightingale.
00:37To earn this shot here tonight, it was a seesaw battle in Las Vegas, but it was a doomsday device.
00:44And the pinfall by Megan Payne on Harley Cameron that sent her, she and Penelope, into this title contest, Tony.
00:56Will lightning strike twice for the challengers?
00:59Bane's over!
01:02Here come the champs. Two successful title defense under their belts as we go back to the ring.
01:09And their opponents, they are the reigning and defending AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions, Harley Cameron
01:21and the TBS Champion, Willow Nightingale, the Babe of Wrath!
01:30Harley Cameron returning to her home country as a champion.
01:35But will the luggage be a little lighter when she returns back to the United States?
01:41Harley from Gold Coast, Australia.
01:44It's about nine hours, as I understand it, up the road from where we sit here in Sydney.
01:51I'm sure Harley with a lot of support, a lot of friends and family here tonight for this big AEW
01:57Women's World Tag Team Championship match.
01:59I think it's very apparent Harley has received a lot of support in the United States, all over the world.
02:05She goes right after Megan Payne.
02:08I think maybe that could have been a mistake.
02:10Maybe she's just a little bit overzealous.
02:11I think Harley may be a little frustrated at what transpired in the desert ten days ago.
02:16A dynamite.
02:17The pinfall loss to Megan Payne and Penelope Ford in that eliminator contest.
02:23Set up this title contest, as now Harley and Willow working in tandem.
02:31As Harley up the right hands in the corner, Willow the Lariots on Penelope.
02:37One, two, seven, eight.
02:39Babes of Wrath, Tony, coming out on fire.
02:44Lariat from Willow.
02:47Harley and Megan Bain slumped over, and look at this.
02:51Pick up.
02:52A teamwork, but Penelope was ready for it, and Megan Bain out of the corner.
02:56Like a freight train.
03:01Bain able to shrug off those repeated strikes from Harley Cameron, and now put tags by the challengers.
03:09Remember in the tournament to crown the inaugural AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions,
03:14a tournament that was won by Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale.
03:17It was originally supposed to be Penelope Ford teaming with Megan Bain.
03:21An injury to Ford took her out of contention.
03:24Marina Shafir subbed in, and that duel only made it to the semifinal round.
03:29Penelope believes firmly, Tony, that were she in the match, or she in the tournament,
03:36that she and Megan Bain would be your AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions right now.
03:41Well, they have worked very well as a team, and they are just getting better, of course.
03:45Penelope was out 87 days with that elbow injury, and now here comes Willow,
03:51and Willow going right in after Megan Bain.
03:54Megan Bain followed her in, and hammered.
03:57Willow draped over that time.
03:59Oh, Willow.
04:00Dr. Nita, Lariat, German suplex.
04:03Willow showing her power.
04:05Penelope Ford, though, quickly into the ring, boot to the midsection.
04:08Hammer throw attempted, reversed by Willow Penelope.
04:12Likes to come back with that, oh, that cutter, but instead Willow is ready for it,
04:17and another German suplex, this time to the other half of the opposition.
04:20And Willow's going outside here.
04:22Watch it!
04:23Watch it!
04:26Cannonball sent on, two for one for Willow Nightingale.
04:31It seems like she's wrestling with some, a bit of extra purpose, just like Harley Cameron was, Tony.
04:37Absolutely.
04:38She's pretty fired up.
04:43And, once again, stacking up, Penelope and Megan in the corner.
04:48By the way, happy Valentine's Day to everyone out there.
04:52And up on top is Willow, shotgun from the top.
04:58And this match for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship continues on TNT and on HBO Max.
05:12Well, Nightingale denied on that pinfall attempt, but he's sticking on Megan Bain.
05:19Bain, though, reverses Willow, escapes, went for the NZ Geary.
05:23Bain was ready for it.
05:24And now, look at the strength of Megan Bain.
05:28Fogway slam, hoisting up Willow and tossing her.
05:31Bain making it look easy, Tony.
05:33Yeah, and I was just going to comment on the quickness that Willow exhibited,
05:38but I think the power of Megan, a little bit more into the midsection.
05:44Look at Willow fight out of the corner.
05:47Willow realizing that she was in the lion's den, so to speak,
05:51with Penelope on the outside, Megan on the inside.
05:54Trying to extricate herself from the opposing corner,
05:57but Megan Bain just maintaining control of the wrist of Willow
06:01and taking her off her feet repeatedly.
06:09Body shots.
06:10Yeah, Willow's fighting.
06:11Whoa.
06:13Megan is just too strong.
06:15She absorbed those body shots.
06:16One.
06:17Not out in one.
06:20You see some of our great matches that are still to come tonight.
06:23On this two and a half hour telecast from Sydney.
06:27Whoa.
06:29Penelope Ford.
06:31Getting pretty hard that time.
06:41We've had such a great time here in Australia, Tony.
06:43Willow Nightgale.
06:44Same can't be said for her, at least for the moment.
06:46We want to thank our fans for joining us on ESPN Plus here in Australia.
06:52Yeah, as part of Disney Plus,
06:53and we certainly appreciate all the excitement surrounding this venue.
07:00Four, two, three, four.
07:09Tony and Excalibur back on Grand Slam Australia.
07:13The Women's World Tag Team Championship is on the line.
07:18And we're going to have a tag on each end.
07:21Yes, Penelope Ford and Harley Cameron.
07:25Down goes Penelope.
07:28And again, Penelope Ford taken down via the sling blade.
07:32And Harley, a flurry of right hands.
07:36Harley did not try to make the cover that time.
07:38I don't know if that's going to come back to bite the champions or not.
07:42Harley with the waist lock, but Megan Bain behind Harley.
07:46A waist lock of her own.
07:48Shoving Harley in.
07:49As the fans chant, feel the wrath, feel the wrath.
07:52Harley!
07:54Beautiful counter by Harley Cameron.
07:56The DDT puts down the mega-sys.
07:58And Harley, excited, pumped up in her home country.
08:03Home country, if you will.
08:05Up on top.
08:08Across body.
08:09Taking a risk, but it paid off.
08:14As the challengers feel in the wrath of Harley Cameron.
08:17Harley!
08:20Her hand chops.
08:23Two big strikes.
08:25Kick.
08:27Megan in the side of the head.
08:28And now.
08:29Roundhouse kick.
08:30But Megan Bain absorbed it.
08:32And now the challengers.
08:34Working in tandem here.
08:35Two.
08:37What we saw right there is just showing you how far MegaBand has come.
08:42Great teamwork that we didn't see in the early parts of their teaming back in March.
08:49Tony, in my eyes, the challengers once again working much more efficiently than the champions as a duo.
08:55But that's how the challengers ended the match ten days ago.
09:00The doomsday device.
09:01Willow.
09:02Oh, Megan.
09:03Excuse me.
09:04Penelope for the moonsault from the Buccos.
09:07Harley.
09:07The roll-off.
09:08One.
09:08Two.
09:09Whoa.
09:10Harley almost one and rolling up.
09:12Megan in.
09:13Another kick.
09:14And the roundhouse kick.
09:15Once again, stuns Megan Bain.
09:17But for how long?
09:18The hammer thrown to the corner.
09:19Reversed by Bain.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Harley up on top.
09:26Harley reversing.
09:27Nice pick of the leg.
09:29And Harley turns the corner.
09:32A single crab.
09:34Sitting deep on the back of Megan Bain.
09:36As you can see, Megan reaching out for the ropes.
09:39Hold on.
09:40Watch out.
09:41Here is Penelope.
09:43Penelope Ford, the drop kick to break the submission attempt.
09:47Little Nightingale, though, into the mix.
09:49On the other side of the ring.
09:52Boy, she paintbrushed her off her feet.
09:55But a running shotgun that time from Megan Bain.
09:59Penelope rolls over to the side.
10:02And.
10:04I think it's fair to call that one an Australian destroyer, Tony, from Harley Cameron.
10:09Absolutely.
10:12Boy, these women are leaving it all in the ring.
10:18I mentioned I thought the challengers, the more cohesive side thus far.
10:22But the champions are champions for a reason, Tony.
10:26They can persevere through adversity just as they're doing right now.
10:32Now all four ladies at their feet slugging it out here.
10:38Right now, Megabat getting the advantage.
10:41Sending the Babes of Wrath back to the rope.
10:44Reversal by the champions.
10:46A pair of roundhouse kicks.
10:49Oh.
10:49Bain.
10:50It's been crashing into Penelope Ford.
10:53And.
10:53Whoa!
10:54Russian legs sweep pump kick combination.
10:59Willow Nightingale legal for the champions.
11:03And a backpack.
11:04Oh!
11:07Cover.
11:08One, two, and a two-cap.
11:13Megan Bain.
11:14It's her turn to show her toughness here.
11:19Quick tags in and out.
11:20Now we see the cohesion of the champions, Tony.
11:24Death Valley driver that time.
11:26And.
11:27Oh, low bridge by Penelope.
11:28Sends Willow crashing to the floor right in front of our desk.
11:30Meanwhile.
11:32A swanton dive missed.
11:35Megan Bain tags in Penelope.
11:39Even the Megasys needing some relief.
11:41As Penelope.
11:43This is her grip on Harley Cameron.
11:46Swing and a miss by Harley.
11:48Stunner.
11:48Delivered by Penelope Ford.
11:50And.
11:50Bain!
11:52The lariat from Megan Bain.
11:54And now watch out.
11:55Penelope up top.
11:58Nobody home though for Penelope Ford.
12:00Inside the ring.
12:01Harley Cameron.
12:04Backslide.
12:05High stack.
12:05Back.
12:05Two.
12:06Three.
12:12Here are your winners.
12:14And still.
12:16The AEW.
12:17Women's World Tag Team Champion.
12:22Willow Nightingale.
12:23And Harley Cameron.
12:27Well, Excalibur.
12:29That was anybody's match.
12:30But.
12:31It was the backslide in the high stack that you talked about that.
12:35Retains the belts for the Baves of Wrath.
12:38Got Megan Bain.
12:42Who is she and Willow Nightingale.
12:45Wait a second.
12:46Who is that?
12:48I think that's.
12:49That's Lena Cross.
12:52Australian independent standout.
12:55Oh!
12:56She faced Chris Statlander last summer on collision.
13:01And now Lena Cross.
13:05Apparently throwing her lot in with Penelope Ford and Megan Bain.
13:15And Penelope very happy.
13:18Megan Bain staring at Lena Cross.
13:22As these three women stand over the champs.
13:26As Megan Bain.
13:28Not just.
13:29With one of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship titles.
13:33But Willow Nightingale's TBS Championship as well.
13:36Is this a vision?
13:38A preview?
13:39Of what is still to come.
13:41In the future of Megan Bain and Penelope Ford.
