00:00More submission, will win, no disqualifications, no count outs, triple threat rules, and here we go.
00:08Io Sky, who holds the tag titles with Rhea Ripley, they'll defend those titles Friday night on SmackDown
00:14against the irresistible forces of the last legend, Nia Jax.
00:18How was that for an irresistible force? A big boot that nearly took Kyrie's head off.
00:23Io Sky was at a rivalry with Raquel and company in the Judgment Day.
00:26Okay, and Io looking to take a larger woman off her feet, but Raquel just a bit too powerful.
00:34No easy task. Raquel continues to improve week by week.
00:38For my money, 2025 is a truly career-altering year for Rodriguez.
00:43She's finally found her level of comfort. She's becoming more dominant than ever,
00:47and I think it's just a matter of time before she's got gold around her waist.
00:51Well, we know Liv Morgan is going to challenge Stephanie Baccaro at WrestleMania for the World Championship.
00:56The winner of the Chamber will face Jade Cargill for the WWE title.
01:00Imagine if Raquel Rodriguez qualifies and could win the Chamber.
01:03If there's anyone who could hope to match physical power with Jade Cargill, it would be Raquel.
01:08Well, that was a bit interesting there, that Io Sky and Kyrie Sade have had their differences as of late,
01:13working together as a team to try to eliminate the larger Raquel.
01:17Well, and now Kyrie with a cheap shot.
01:19Of course, Asuka, Kyrie's teammate, and the Kabuki Warriors is already qualified,
01:23and you have to believe that Kyrie Sade just wants to eliminate Io tonight so she doesn't have to be
01:29in that match.
01:30Well, it was a bit of an arrogant cover for somebody who's looking to make the most of a potentially
01:34career-altering opportunity.
01:37Kyrie Sade, I understand, wanting to insult Io Sky, but now is not the time.
01:41Cover by Sky.
01:42Well, Asuka doesn't care if Kyrie gets into the Chamber or not.
01:45Oh, but Kyrie should care.
01:47Well, you know how Asuka and Kyrie, how that relationship is.
01:50Nice backdrop delivered by Io Sky, the genius of the sky.
01:55My Japanese isn't as sharp as it used to be, so all I can really tell is by reading body
01:59language,
02:00I don't really know what the relationship entails.
02:03And now Raquel Rodriguez looking to qualify for her third Chamber match.
02:07She was involved in 2023-2024.
02:10Io Sky and Kyrie Sade have never been in a Chamber.
02:13Oh, my goodness.
02:15Look at Raquel now.
02:17The power of Big Mommy Cool.
02:19And there's the double fall-away slam.
02:22Incredible strength.
02:29Smart strategy by Rodriguez.
02:31Trying to dump Kyrie to the outside, make this as close to one-on-one as possible.
02:36And now Raquel Rodriguez sent over the top rope and to the floor as Kyrie Sade pulled the ropes down.
02:43And Kyrie now went for the insane elbow, and Raquel just picked her out of the air.
02:48And now the genius of the sky.
02:50Moonsault by Io Sky taking everybody out.
02:59Yeah!
03:01Yeah!
03:02Yeah!
03:02Yeah!
03:02Yeah!
03:05Io Sky taking a risk, and it paid off major dividends.
03:10Io now in control of this matchup.
03:12Rodriguez on the outside.
03:13Well, for the moment.
03:15And it's sent back down to the floor.
03:17And that, uh...
03:19Bit of a distraction allowed Kyrie Sade to get back in the fight.
03:22Whoa!
03:23Lance right on the back of her head.
03:24Gnarly landing for the genius of the sky.
03:28Sean Bennett, the official, checking on Io Sky.
03:31Got an update coming up in a little bit on Big Bronson Reed.
03:35He was injured in the men's qualifying match earlier tonight.
03:39Eventually won by main event Jey Uso.
03:43Kyrie taking a moment to walk the plank here in Atlanta.
03:47Sliding D!
03:50Is this enough to put Io away?
03:52Cover by Kyrie.
03:53Kyrie and Sky able to get the shoulder up.
04:00Again, winner of this match heads to the chamber on Saturday.
04:04Such high stakes at Elimination Chamber in Chicago.
04:10Whoever wins the men's chamber will advance to WrestleMania to battle Drew McIntyre.
04:16And now cover here by Kyrie.
04:19And a kick out.
04:20As we found out earlier tonight, Jade Cargill will be the prize for the winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber.
04:30Look at the torque on the lower back of Io Sky.
04:34And is Io going to tap out here?
04:35And Raquel Rodriguez saving the matchup for herself.
04:37Oh, God!
04:47Kyrie once again dumped to the outside, courtesy of La Ruda.
04:55Big elbow drop flattens Io.
05:00And you've got to take notice and pay attention to the confidence of Raquel Rodriguez.
05:04That's something that Raquel admittedly struggled with early in her career.
05:07A level of imposter syndrome.
05:10She's finally really grown into her talents.
05:12And we're seeing the best version of Raquel that we've seen.
05:14I think she believes in herself finally.
05:19And Raquel just having her way with Kyrie and Io here tonight.
05:26Come on, Io.
05:28These people want to see you win, right?
05:32Raquel finally realized it's not about pleasing everyone around you.
05:35It's about taking control of your own destiny, your own career.
05:38And with that mindset, Raquel's begun to do great things.
05:45One of these three women going to the chamber.
05:55One spot remains in the women's elimination chamber match.
05:59Will it be filled by Kyrie Sane, Raquel Rodriguez, or Io Sky?
06:03They're battling it out in a triple threat match here tonight.
06:09And Io Sky.
06:10And Shota rocking the jaw of Kyrie Sane.
06:15And face first goes Kyrie.
06:20Io beginning to roll in this one.
06:25Reversal by Kyrie Sane.
06:28Walking the ropes all the way to the outside goes Io.
06:33Just tattooed Kyrie with a kick right under the chin.
06:39And now off the top rope with a missile drop kick.
06:43Kip up by Io, and Io's rolling.
06:57Oh, he's going for the bullet train attack.
07:01Intercepted by Rodriguez.
07:03Oh, what a clothesline of Kyrie Sane.
07:06The dominant Rodriguez into the cover.
07:08Kyrie's got a kick out.
07:11As physical as they come.
07:14We're going to have a Tejana bomb on our hands.
07:16And Io Sky.
07:18Not saving Kyrie, but saving the matchup for herself.
07:22Remember, first woman to gain pin floor submission wins.
07:24Driving Raquel into the steel post.
07:26And now they can turn it into a one-on-one affair.
07:29At least momentarily.
07:31Here comes Io.
07:33Io now.
07:34Driving Raquel into the floor.
07:38Kyrie.
07:40We're going to take things to the extreme.
07:43From the top rope.
07:46Everybody down.
07:52And now Io sending Raquel into the timekeeper's area.
07:57Rodriguez neutralized for the moment.
07:59Oh, what a backhand.
08:01Wow.
08:04Kyrie Sane connects with a cutlass back fist.
08:08And now she's got Io where she wants her.
08:11Going up top, looking for the insane elbow to put Io Sky away.
08:16Nobody home.
08:20Kyrie looking for a backslide.
08:22One, two, three.
08:22Back to the shoulders of Io.
08:24Oh, a two and a half.
08:25Whoa.
08:26Sean Bennett was right there.
08:27Best view in the house, but it was mighty close.
08:33And Io Sky showing off her power.
08:35Delivering indeed in the spine.
08:38And now Io.
08:40Opportunity here.
08:41Top rope.
08:43Io Sky connects.
08:45Over the moonsault.
08:50Cover.
08:51Raquel Rodriguez.
08:54From the outside, utilizing that reach of hers.
08:59Ripping Sane clean out of the ring.
09:01And now that clothesline about decapitating Kyrie.
09:08Now Io with a kick to Raquel.
09:10Physical matchup.
09:12Io Sky drives Raquel to the corner.
09:17Io launched now out to the apron.
09:21Raquel misses wildly.
09:23Io takes advantage.
09:24This guy has been incredibly elusive for the past several moments.
09:29Frustrating Raquel Rodriguez.
09:30Now Io from the top.
09:33Massive missile drop kick.
09:35Dropping Raquel Rodriguez into the corner.
09:37Io Sky looking for the bullet train attack.
09:39Back.
09:41Nails it in the bottom turnbuckle.
09:44Will it be enough?
09:45Io wants the insurance.
09:47Can we have another over the moon salt on tap?
09:50Up to the top rope.
09:51Raquel Rodriguez is going to meet her there though.
09:53And Raquel from way up top.
09:56Raquel Rodriguez.
09:57Positioned in Io Sky.
10:00Io still fighting back though.
10:06The resilience of Io Sky on display tonight.
10:11Sky.
10:12Oh what a DDT.
10:14My goodness.
10:16Io could be closing in on the elimination chamber match.
10:22Kyrie Sane though.
10:24Kyrie playing spoiler.
10:26From the top rope.
10:29With the insane elbow.
10:30Raquel got her boots up.
10:34And now Rodriguez.
10:37To Honobob.
10:39Cover.
10:40One.
10:41Two.
10:42Head to Chicago.
10:43Is Raquel.
10:46Here is your winner.
10:49Raquel Rodriguez.
10:53We talked about the confidence of Raquel Rodriguez.
10:57And how it has made so much difference in the trajectory of her career.
11:03Illustrated perfectly in this triple threat match tonight.
11:08Io Sky taking it at high risk.
11:10A diving tornado DDT.
11:13Took down Rodriguez.
11:14But Kyrie Sane attempted to steal the win.
11:18Thwarted by a pair of boots.
11:20And a Tejana bomb in the center of the ring.
11:23Congratulations Raquel.
11:25Congratulations Raquel.
11:26Good luck.
11:27Inside of the chain.
11:29Yeah.
11:30The field is now set for the women's elimination chamber match in Chicago.
