00:00:00Teams like the NBA's Bulls and the NHL's Blackhawks who play here in the iconic United Center
00:00:08hosting a WWE TV event for the first time in 32 years.
00:00:27Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Chicago, the home to the world heavyweight champion, CM Punk.
00:00:45People ask me, does pressure bother you?
00:00:53Pressure feels like this city I grew up in.
00:00:57Like the walls that shake when the trains go by.
00:01:02The wind that hits you head on.
00:01:07Growing up here, you learn how to stay calm when it's loud.
00:01:13To think straight when everything's closing in.
00:01:21That's why the chamber never rattled me.
00:01:25CM Punk does the impossible.
00:01:29One of the most cruel, unforgiving structures ever devised.
00:01:33Whether it's one-on-one, on the outside.
00:01:35CM Punk!
00:01:37Sit down!
00:01:38AJ Lee!
00:01:40Becky Lynch!
00:01:41Or a battle on the inside.
00:01:45When that door slams shut and the world goes quiet.
00:01:51I don't know if anyone's ready for this.
00:01:57Everyone feels that way.
00:02:00Welcome to the elimination chamber.
00:02:03This is gonna get nasty.
00:02:07The stakes could not be enough.
00:02:10The stakes could not be hired.
00:02:12Getting through it isn't a win.
00:02:14It's the price for chasing what matters most.
00:02:18A guaranteed opportunity at WrestleMania.
00:02:24So all this pressure.
00:02:26Wait a minute!
00:02:27Oh my God!
00:02:30Feels like home.
00:02:32Feels like home.
00:02:56You are looking live at the United Center.
00:03:01Sold out, 19,346 WWE fans on hand tonight for the final PLE before WrestleMania.
00:03:12And the stars are out tonight.
00:03:15It's the last chance to earn a WWE title opportunity at WrestleMania to the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
00:03:23He'll be locked inside the Elimination Chamber tonight.
00:03:26As will the 14-time world champion, DeViper.
00:03:31Randy Orton entering the chamber for a record 10th time, looking to win for a second time in his career.
00:03:38Finn Balor says he'll shake up the main event at WrestleMania tonight when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:45Also tonight, the Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has an away game for backs against the wall because she's in the
00:03:53hometown of none other than AJ Lee.
00:03:57First title match in 11 years, accompanied by her husband, Chicago's own CM Punk, who defends the world title versus
00:04:04Finn Balor tonight.
00:04:12It is a menacing steel structure known as the Elimination Chamber.
00:04:2024 years old this year.
00:04:23It will surround the ring as we kick off the home stretch to WrestleMania.
00:04:31Let's check in with our ring announcer, Mark Nash.
00:04:35The following is the Women's Elimination Chamber match.
00:04:43Two superstars start in the ring.
00:04:47Four superstars in individual pods.
00:04:51A random pod door opens at regularly scheduled intervals until all pods are empty.
00:05:00Three superstars are eliminated by pinfall or submission.
00:05:06The last superstar standing will be declared the winner and go on to challenge the WWE Women's Champion, Jade Cargill,
00:05:18at WrestleMania 42.
00:05:21Two superstars!
00:05:37One superstars!
00:05:58Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss!
00:06:06Alexa Bliss will enter the Elimination Chamber for the fourth time in her career, second all-time to Liv Morgan,
00:06:15who is at six on the women's side of things. Alexa Bliss knows what it takes to win the Chamber.
00:06:22She won the inaugural Women's Chamber match back in 2018.
00:06:25Yeah, here's a woman with an all-timer resume, who has been mainly focused on tag action in recent months,
00:06:34but looking to get back to the very top. It has been a long time since Alexa Bliss has held
00:06:39World Championship gold. She gets one step closer tonight with victory inside the Chamber.
00:06:45Highly decorated with four world champs, five world championships in her career, four tag team titles. And she will be
00:06:53locked inside a pod, inside the Chamber, to start off this matchup here tonight.
00:06:59Helgen, everybody at ringside, I'm Michael Cole, he's Wade Barrett. We're in the final PLE stop before WrestleMania.
00:07:05Yeah, this entire arena is now vibrating. It's not just the music, it is the energy of this audience. And
00:07:12trust me, the vibrations in the locker room are massive. This is a huge step towards making your dreams come
00:07:18true at WrestleMania.
00:07:19The winner of this Chamber match tonight will head to WrestleMania to take on Jade Cargill for the WWE Championship.
00:07:28Jade Cargill, we understand, is in attendance here tonight at the United Center in Chicago among the 19,000-plus.
00:07:36She's looking on. She will learn in a matter of moments who she will face at WrestleMania.
00:08:03The awe-striking presence of the Storm.
00:08:12Referee Eddie Arango will shut the pod door.
00:08:16Alexa Bliss locked inside to it until it's her turn.
00:09:01Another woman who has massive experience inside the Chamber, her third Chamber match.
00:09:07Here tonight, she won back in 2023, which would earn her a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:09:16Wade in the history of Elimination Chamber, only one woman has won this match twice.
00:09:20That was Bianca Belair. Alexa Bliss, Asuka have an opportunity to tie her tonight.
00:09:26Well, nobody's doubting the pedigree of either woman.
00:09:29And I don't know if the Elimination Chamber is ready for Asuka, but Asuka is certainly ready for the Chamber
00:09:35and indeed Alexa Bliss.
00:09:38Oh.
00:09:39Oh.
00:09:43Oh.
00:09:46Oh.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:49Oh.
00:09:49Oh.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:53Oh.
00:09:54Oh.
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Oh.
00:10:08Yeah.
00:10:26Next, from Rio Grande, Raleigh, Texas, representing the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:10:36For the third time in her career, Raquel Rodriguez steps inside Elimination Chamber.
00:10:43And this is a big night here tonight for the Judgment Day.
00:10:46We know that Liv Morgan, the winner of the Women's Oil Rumbleweight, will challenge Stephanie Bacare at WrestleMania for the
00:10:52world title.
00:10:53Raquel Rodriguez wins tonight.
00:10:55Another member of Judgment Day will challenge for a championship, the WWE title at WrestleMania.
00:11:01Well, this is the Judgment Day, getting back to what they do best ever since Liv Morgan's return.
00:11:07All members exclusively focused on the acquisition of gold, and they can't make it at all.
00:11:13Judgment Day affair at WrestleMania at the top of the women's card.
00:11:29And the way she's been going, nothing may stop Raquel tonight.
00:11:49This is the Judgment Day!
00:12:04And the way she's been going, nothing may stop Raquel.
00:12:26I've said this before, and I'm going to say it again.
00:12:30Google the word superstar, and Rhea Ripley's image will appear.
00:12:35Ripley Wade looking to win this match tonight
00:12:38and earn her fifth world championship match.
00:12:42Five of them at WrestleMania.
00:12:45Yeah, it's been a dreadful 24 hours for Rhea Ripley.
00:12:49Just 24 hours ago, Louisville, Kentucky for SmackDown.
00:12:52Rhea Ripley and Io Sky lost the Women's Tag Team Championships
00:12:56to the irresistible forces,
00:12:58and Rhea Ripley undoubtedly physically beat up now,
00:13:03and perhaps with the loss of gold mentally too.
00:13:05Yeah, I was going to say, how does last night's loss,
00:13:08and she got pinned in that match by Last Legend.
00:13:11How does last night's loss affect Rhea coming into tonight?
00:13:14It just ramps that pressure up.
00:13:16Rhea Ripley needs a marquee championship match at WrestleMania.
00:13:20She would have had that with tag gold.
00:13:22That's gone now.
00:13:23If Ripley does not win this match,
00:13:26she will not be having a marquee match at WrestleMania this year,
00:13:31and that is unthinkable.
00:13:33Unthinkable.
00:13:35As Rhea Ripley tours the pod,
00:13:37she will be the fourth woman locked inside the pods here tonight.
00:13:41We now know the next two women will actually start the elimination chamber.
00:13:57Wade, you have been in three chamber matches in your career.
00:14:01Don't remind me.
00:14:02How intimidating is that to have one of the superstars walk up to you,
00:14:06go face-to-face while you're in the pod?
00:14:08You know what?
00:14:08As long as I was locked in the safety of the pod,
00:14:11I didn't mind so much.
00:14:12It was when that pod opened,
00:14:13I was surrounded by steel everywhere I looked,
00:14:16and ravenous-looking competitors
00:14:19looking to end my career as quickly as they could
00:14:22in order to put their ticket to WrestleMania or a championship,
00:14:26whatever it may have been.
00:14:27But for now,
00:14:28these four women have got lucky.
00:14:30The next two,
00:14:31not so much.
00:14:49Making her way to the ring.
00:14:52From Sioux City, Iowa,
00:14:56Kiana James!
00:14:58Wade, you and I have been touting the attributes of Kiana James
00:15:01for a number of months now.
00:15:03It's been an incredible couple of months for Kiana.
00:15:06Back at the Royal Rumble,
00:15:07she lasted almost 30 minutes in the Rumble match.
00:15:11And then, of course,
00:15:12one of the biggest upsets, I believe,
00:15:14in SmackDown history,
00:15:15when she knocked off Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair,
00:15:18pitting the Queen to qualify tonight.
00:15:20Yeah, not everybody gets handed the same opportunity
00:15:23right off the bat when it comes to WWE.
00:15:27Kiana has had to make meals out of crumbs at times,
00:15:31but she's more than done that.
00:15:32She's blown people's minds,
00:15:33shot the world,
00:15:34when, as you mentioned,
00:15:35she defeated Charlotte and Nia to qualify for this.
00:15:38The truth is,
00:15:40Kiana James is flying under the radar in this match.
00:15:43None of the other five competitors
00:15:45are focused on Kiana James.
00:15:47Kiana wants to shock the world.
00:15:49She's in exactly the right place to do just that.
00:15:53Although,
00:15:54she's gonna have to do it the hard way
00:15:55from the very start of this match.
00:15:58Kiana's rise in WWE was sidetracked
00:16:01with a very serious knee injury,
00:16:02cost her over a year of her career.
00:16:04She told Yahoo Sports in an exclusive interview
00:16:06that she, well,
00:16:08wants to come back stronger than ever.
00:16:11One percent better in the ring every single day
00:16:15has helped her develop a mental toughness
00:16:18in that brick-by-brick approach to get better.
00:16:21What an opportunity for the woman
00:16:23who you claim will fly under the radar tonight.
00:16:26Yeah, as smart as they come,
00:16:27Kiana James knows the secret to success in this game
00:16:31is a competitive edge.
00:16:33And that mega brain of Kiana James
00:16:35has done her a real solid inner run on SmackDown so far.
00:16:40Can it launch her all the way to WrestleMania?
00:16:52It's Tiffy time!
00:17:09It's Tiffy time!
00:17:12And from Pryor Lake, Minnesota,
00:17:15Tiffany Stratton!
00:17:18Tiffany Stratton beat Chelsea Green
00:17:20and last legend to qualify for tonight.
00:17:22It's her second Chamber match in her career.
00:17:25Last year at the Chamber,
00:17:26she had a career highlight,
00:17:27she told me earlier today.
00:17:28That was the night she tacked
00:17:29with the Hall of Famer,
00:17:31the legendary Trish Stratus in Toronto.
00:17:33Ooh, well, 2025 as a whole
00:17:35was an absolute banner year
00:17:37for Tiffany Stratton
00:17:39all the way up until she lost
00:17:43her Women's WWE Championship
00:17:45to one Jade Cargill.
00:17:47Now, she got injured in the process
00:17:49of that loss
00:17:50and has been desperate
00:17:51to get a rematch with Cargill
00:17:53ever since.
00:17:54It's a real simple process.
00:17:55You just have to win the Chamber
00:17:57from the very start, Tiffy.
00:18:00Then, you get your day with Destiny
00:18:02with Jade Cargill.
00:18:03One note on the number two entry mark
00:18:06for Kiana James in this matchup.
00:18:09Number two, the least amount of wins
00:18:11in Elimination Chamber match history.
00:18:13Just three wins over the 24-year history
00:18:16of the Chamber.
00:18:17So, the matchup starts with two women
00:18:19in the ring.
00:18:20At regular intervals,
00:18:22pods will open.
00:18:23Another woman will enter the fray.
00:18:24This is an elimination match.
00:18:26Once you lose,
00:18:27either pinned or submitted,
00:18:29you got to head back to the locker room.
00:18:31The last woman standing
00:18:32goes to WrestleMania.
00:18:37And we're underway.
00:18:41Referee Dan Engler calling for the bell.
00:18:44He'll work the matchup inside the ring.
00:18:46Outside, a number of officials
00:18:47will guard the pods,
00:18:48open the pods when it is necessary.
00:18:51So, James and Tiffany Stratton,
00:18:52Wade, what type of strategy do you use
00:18:54when you start this matchup off?
00:18:56Well, you've mentioned
00:18:57we've got some veterans in there
00:18:58who experienced the Chamber before.
00:18:59We also have some others,
00:19:01such as Kiana James,
00:19:02who have not.
00:19:03Kiana James is in for a massive shock imminently
00:19:07once she tastes that steel
00:19:09for the very first time.
00:19:10Nothing can prepare you for it.
00:19:12My advice at this point
00:19:13is stay as far away
00:19:15from the outside of this ring
00:19:17for as long as you possibly can.
00:19:19My estimation,
00:19:20Kiana James is playing
00:19:21with house money tonight.
00:19:23Not really a lot to lose here,
00:19:24but a perfect opportunity
00:19:26and a nice headlock takedown by Stratton.
00:19:28See, I actually disagree with you there.
00:19:30You have a lot to lose in the Chamber
00:19:32regardless of the result.
00:19:33When it comes to your health
00:19:34and longevity of your career,
00:19:36this is such a dangerous situation
00:19:38to be in.
00:19:39Although I do agree,
00:19:40this is not where Kiana James
00:19:42expected to be right now.
00:19:44She just needs to execute.
00:19:46Both of these women
00:19:47are highly decorated gymnasts
00:19:50in their college days
00:19:51brought that athleticism here
00:19:53to WWE.
00:19:56And I know Tiffany wants to get
00:19:57into a test of strength
00:19:58with Kiana James.
00:19:59I'll tell you right now,
00:20:00there is a level of disrespect
00:20:02being thrown at Kiana James
00:20:03from the entire women's locker room.
00:20:05And I think after tonight,
00:20:07those who have not been
00:20:08paying attention
00:20:08will suddenly
00:20:10gain a lot more respect
00:20:12for Little Miss Smarty Pants here.
00:20:14Oh, what a nice start.
00:20:15You know,
00:20:16we talked about it earlier today,
00:20:17the chip,
00:20:18the massive chip
00:20:19on the shoulder
00:20:19of Kiana James.
00:20:21It's a very valuable thing
00:20:23to have at this level.
00:20:24Here we go.
00:20:25Only a one count.
00:20:27Would have been nice
00:20:28to put Tiffany away there.
00:20:30Have a little rest
00:20:30till the next pod opens.
00:20:32Get yourself as fresh as you can
00:20:34because four more women
00:20:35are going to be
00:20:36consecutively introduced
00:20:37into this match,
00:20:39each one fresher than the last.
00:20:40I think it also drives
00:20:41Kiana James the fact
00:20:42that for a lot of her career,
00:20:44she's been overlooked
00:20:44by her buddy, Julia.
00:20:46Oh, and a nice basement
00:20:47dropkick by Stratt
00:20:48into the cover,
00:20:49hooks the leg
00:20:50and a kick out at two.
00:20:51Well, she's done
00:20:52a hell of a job
00:20:53for Julia so far
00:20:54as her official representative
00:20:56led Julia
00:20:57to a couple of championships
00:20:58already here
00:20:59on SmackDown.
00:21:01And that standing
00:21:02moonsault by Kiana James
00:21:03covered on Stratt
00:21:04and a kick out.
00:21:06The word is certainly out too
00:21:07about Kiana James now
00:21:09and the taste for gold
00:21:10has spread around
00:21:13Julia and Kiana.
00:21:15And that is an addictive thing
00:21:17to have.
00:21:17Oh, man, they could have
00:21:18a whole lot of gold
00:21:19come WrestleMania.
00:21:21See Tiffany in the ring.
00:21:22She battled Kairi Sane
00:21:2324 hours ago.
00:21:25Masterclass put on by Asuka
00:21:26who originally accepted
00:21:27Tiffany Stratt's challenge.
00:21:29Yeah, you've got to be
00:21:30absolutely insane
00:21:31to accept a match
00:21:3224 hours
00:21:33before a massive battle
00:21:35like this.
00:21:35Well, certainly Tiffany did
00:21:37on the basis
00:21:37that a fellow opponent
00:21:38in Asuka was going to
00:21:39and then a last minute
00:21:40switcheroo
00:21:41changed that to Kairi Sane.
00:21:42So fresh is a daisy
00:21:44as Asuka,
00:21:44whereas pre-beaten up
00:21:46perhaps is Tiffany Stratton
00:21:48despite getting
00:21:49the victory yesterday.
00:21:50Yeah, and then she had
00:21:50to start the match
00:21:51up off as well.
00:21:53And Kiana now
00:21:54tossing Stratton
00:21:55outside the ropes.
00:21:56Again, there are no
00:21:56disqualifications,
00:21:57obviously no count-outs
00:21:58in this match.
00:21:59This is the danger zone
00:22:01right now.
00:22:01As soon as you leave
00:22:02the inside of those robes,
00:22:04there is steel,
00:22:05metal everywhere you look
00:22:06and there is no part
00:22:07of the human body
00:22:08that likes being introduced
00:22:10to cold hard steel.
00:22:12Kiana looking for a suplex
00:22:13block three times now
00:22:14by Tiffany
00:22:14who delivers one of her own
00:22:16and you see the back
00:22:17buckle of Kiana.
00:22:19What does that feel like?
00:22:20Well, that is a certain regret
00:22:21now coursing through
00:22:23the veins of Kiana.
00:22:24Whatever strategy
00:22:25she had to take down
00:22:26Tiffany Stratton
00:22:27has backfired in the worst way
00:22:29and welcome to the chamber.
00:22:30Oh!
00:22:31And Kiana rolled out
00:22:33of harm's way
00:22:33and Tiffany head first
00:22:35into the pod
00:22:36as Raquel Rodriguez
00:22:37laughs at her.
00:22:38Oh man, you see all
00:22:39that gymnastic ability
00:22:41but it backfired there
00:22:42in a big way
00:22:43blasting hard
00:22:44against that chamber
00:22:45in the lower back
00:22:46of Tiffany Stratton.
00:22:47There's a bad, bad way
00:22:49and there's a big
00:22:50mammy cool
00:22:50like the look of that.
00:22:51And Wade, the thing
00:22:52about the chamber
00:22:53is sometimes you have
00:22:54to change your game.
00:22:55You got to change
00:22:56your offense a little bit.
00:22:56You can't go back
00:22:57to the well
00:22:58with the things
00:22:58that have brought you there
00:22:59because it can't get you
00:23:00in trouble
00:23:00like we saw there.
00:23:04Who will enter
00:23:04the chamber next?
00:23:06Four, three, two, one!
00:23:13The Empress of Tomorrow
00:23:16Asuka waiting
00:23:17for the door to open
00:23:18and goes to Kiana James
00:23:19with a preemptive strike
00:23:21driving Asuka
00:23:22into the pod.
00:23:23Well, absolutely
00:23:24ball rushing Asuka.
00:23:25knowing full well
00:23:26that Asuka is one
00:23:27of the biggest threats
00:23:28in this match.
00:23:29Kiana James
00:23:29smart enough
00:23:30to stop Asuka
00:23:31getting out the blobs
00:23:32but it simply
00:23:33didn't last.
00:23:34Oh, goodness.
00:23:35Look at this.
00:23:36Just pounding,
00:23:37bouncing Kiana James
00:23:38off the pod.
00:23:40Yeah, and this goes back
00:23:41to what you were talking
00:23:42about moments ago
00:23:42about strategies
00:23:43and how you have
00:23:44to change them.
00:23:45This is the point
00:23:45Kiana James changes strategy
00:23:47because she can't remember
00:23:48the strategy
00:23:49that she came in with.
00:23:51And now Tiffany
00:23:51strapped and driven
00:23:52into the pod
00:23:53by Asuka
00:23:53who's been relentless
00:23:55in her attack
00:23:55since coming
00:23:56into the chamber.
00:23:58Uncaged, unleashed
00:23:59and wreaking havoc
00:24:01inside the elimination chamber.
00:24:04Two for the price of one
00:24:05now for the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:24:07Closed line
00:24:07followed by a bulldog
00:24:08and Wade,
00:24:08we've said this
00:24:09on a number of occasions.
00:24:10Asuka,
00:24:10one of the most dangerous
00:24:11women in WWE.
00:24:13Well, no doubt about it.
00:24:14There is nothing
00:24:14this woman cannot do
00:24:16in there.
00:24:16Everything this woman
00:24:18hits
00:24:18is hit with authority
00:24:20and there is a certain
00:24:21demented look
00:24:22in the eye of Asuka
00:24:23now who is loving
00:24:24the carnage
00:24:25she can exact
00:24:26inside the chamber.
00:24:27A four-time world champion.
00:24:29She's won five tag titles
00:24:30tied with Raquel
00:24:31for the most ever.
00:24:32We mentioned she won
00:24:33a chamber three years ago
00:24:35and now the Empress
00:24:36of Tomorrow, Asuka
00:24:37with a double missiles
00:24:38rock kick
00:24:38to take out James
00:24:39and Stratton.
00:24:40Cover now on Kiana
00:24:41and a kick out by James.
00:24:43Now a cover on Stratton
00:24:44by Asuka
00:24:45and a kick out by Tiffany.
00:24:46So fantastic start
00:24:48here from Asuka
00:24:48taking down two opponents
00:24:50who were obviously
00:24:50pre-weakened
00:24:51as they started
00:24:52the match
00:24:52before Asuka did.
00:24:54Here's the issue.
00:24:55Asuka has just
00:24:55burned up a ton
00:24:56of energy
00:24:58staying in control
00:24:59of this match
00:25:00and eventually
00:25:01that might come back
00:25:02to bite her
00:25:02in the latter stages.
00:25:04And you know
00:25:04Asuka beat a couple
00:25:05of legends
00:25:05to actually qualify.
00:25:07Bayley and Natty
00:25:08knocked off by Asuka
00:25:10earn her the opportunity
00:25:11tonight.
00:25:12He just tells you
00:25:12that Asuka really is
00:25:14firing on all cylinders
00:25:15as the best
00:25:16always do
00:25:17this time of year
00:25:17as we close in
00:25:18on Wrestlemania.
00:25:19And now Tiffany Stratton
00:25:20and that handspring
00:25:22back elbow
00:25:23and on the other side
00:25:28kick knee by Asuka
00:25:30connects into the cover
00:25:31is in and up
00:25:32on Tiffany
00:25:32who just gets
00:25:33the shoulder up.
00:25:34Just shows you
00:25:34the experience
00:25:35of Asuka there
00:25:36when on a tear
00:25:37was Tiffany Stratton
00:25:38just lying in wait
00:25:40ready to pounce.
00:25:41The fourth member
00:25:42of the chamber
00:25:43will enter.
00:25:55Little Miss Bliss
00:25:56and look at the look
00:25:58the disturbing look
00:25:59on the face
00:26:01of the winner
00:26:01of the inaugural
00:26:02chamber match
00:26:02for the women.
00:26:04It is not a look
00:26:05anybody should ever.
00:26:08Big knee by Asuka
00:26:09connects into the cover
00:26:10is in and up
00:26:11on Tiffany
00:26:11who just gets
00:26:12the shoulder up.

00:26:34Little Miss Bliss

00:26:39on the face
00:26:40of the winner
00:26:41of the inaugural
00:26:41chamber match
00:26:42for the women.
00:26:43It is not a look
00:26:44anybody should ever
00:26:45have on their face
00:26:46stepping into
00:26:47the carnage
00:26:48that is the
00:26:49elimination chamber.
00:26:50Bliss knocking off
00:26:51Julia and Zelina
00:26:52to qualify
00:26:53for this match
00:26:54tonight.
00:26:56Oh is a sinister
00:26:57and ominous
00:26:58presence
00:26:59surrounding
00:26:59Alexa Bliss
00:27:01and right off
00:27:02the bat
00:27:03dropping the
00:27:04entire field
00:27:05keep your eyes
00:27:06peeled
00:27:06threats everywhere
00:27:07you look Bliss.
00:27:09The fact that
00:27:09Alexa is in this
00:27:10match and her
00:27:10friend Charlotte
00:27:12Flair is not
00:27:12really is
00:27:13depressed Charlotte.
00:27:14Yeah she says
00:27:15she's fine
00:27:16I do know for a
00:27:17fact when a woman
00:27:17tells you that
00:27:18she is never fine
00:27:19don't fall for that
00:27:20trap.
00:27:21Charlotte Flair
00:27:21very unhappy
00:27:22about missing out
00:27:23on the chamber.
00:27:24And Tiffany Stratton
00:27:25with a rolling
00:27:25sent time
00:27:26showing off her
00:27:27power here
00:27:27gonna head up
00:27:28to the top rope
00:27:29looking for the
00:27:29prettiest moonsault
00:27:30ever but Alexa
00:27:32Bliss intercepted.
00:27:33It was a rough
00:27:34rough landing
00:27:35and Tiffany Stratton's
00:27:36been in this match
00:27:36a long time already
00:27:38and the toll
00:27:38starting show
00:27:39movement not quite
00:27:40as crisp as it
00:27:41was in the early
00:27:42goings and that
00:27:43drop kick to the
00:27:44gut will not help.
00:27:45Now Asuka stalking
00:27:46Alexa Bliss
00:27:47looking for a
00:27:48German suplex.
00:27:49Alexa able to
00:27:50deliver a back
00:27:51elbow.
00:27:58Oh and a big
00:27:59knee by James
00:28:00Bliss rolls her up
00:28:03trying to take
00:28:03advantage.
00:28:04Bliss seemed to have
00:28:05almost sense
00:28:06extra sensory
00:28:07perception on that
00:28:08one and wait a
00:28:09second.
00:28:10I don't know
00:28:11about Kiana
00:28:11breaking that pin
00:28:12up may have been
00:28:13a little inexperienced
00:28:14there you kind of
00:28:15want to eliminate
00:28:16opponents any way
00:28:17you can at this
00:28:18point.
00:28:19Yeah a bit over
00:28:19zealous perhaps but
00:28:21Kiana James has
00:28:22looked great so far
00:28:23in the chamber.
00:28:24Absolutely superb
00:28:25and now looking
00:28:26completely dominant
00:28:27with three bodies
00:28:28dropped around her.
00:28:29Two fresh bodies
00:28:30waiting to enter the
00:28:31match imminently.
00:28:34And bounced off the
00:28:35steal as Stratton.
00:28:36Two miles of chain
00:28:39link surround this
00:28:42structure.
00:28:43And now James
00:28:44looking to catapult
00:28:46Stratton.
00:28:49Into the pod!
00:28:52Face first
00:28:53getting completely
00:28:54wiped out is Stratton.

00:28:59right into that
00:29:01glass and steel.

00:29:13going to enter

00:29:33clearly Ripley was
00:29:34waiting for it.
00:29:35Yeah Rhea's had
00:29:36issues with Kiana

00:45:36An Elimination Chamber tonight is presented by DoorDash, the official on-demand delivery platform.
00:45:50SmackDown star Trick Willie.
00:45:53Trick Williams enters his first Elimination Chamber match tonight.
00:45:57It is tonight, finally, LA Knights Night.
00:46:00Will we find out in just a little bit inside the chamber?
00:46:04And 21-year-old Javon Evans, the upstart for Monday Night Raw, looks to shake up the world tonight.
00:46:12Coming up next, for the Intercontinental Championship, Becky Lynch versus Chicago's own AJ Lee, live from Elimination Chamber.
00:46:40And let's take a look at what's up next, the Intercontinental Championship.
00:46:49AJ Lee is back!
00:46:53Ten years ago, I retired.
00:46:57I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling.
00:47:02Thought that was the end of my story.
00:47:06But Becky, she just lights a fire in me that I forgot that I had.
00:47:13AJ Lee has gotten underneath the skin of Becky Lynch in a big way.
00:47:18You're ruining my life!
00:47:21High-flying crossbody!
00:47:24We got a new tip!
00:47:25There is only so much disrespect that one woman can take!
00:47:34Becky taps down!
00:47:35AJ's company, win more games!
00:47:38What's it gonna take to get rid of you?
00:47:44It's Elimination Chamber.
00:47:46It's in your hometown.
00:47:47It's in Chicago.
00:47:49You wanna go one-on-one with the greatest of all time?
00:47:52I'm gonna stop just me saying that other people say it, everybody says it, Sports Illustrated says it, the Police
00:47:56Department says it!
00:47:58I haven't had a singles match in over a decade.
00:48:02Without Becky, maybe I wouldn't have even come back to prove that I can still be a champion.
00:48:07You do not deserve to hold this, but I deserve to get rid of you and retire you in front
00:48:19of all of your friends and family in your hometown of Chicago.
00:48:24Welcome to the big time!
00:48:47The man has come around!
00:49:04The man has come around!
00:49:24Becky Lynch, a seven-time world champion, two-time intercontinental champion, her second reign began back on January 5th.
00:49:34On the season premiere of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, we'd like to thank everyone who is watching Elimination Chamber
00:49:41tonight.
00:49:42The final stop on the road to WrestleMania for premium live events in the United States, of course, on the
00:49:47ESPN app and internationally on Netflix.
00:49:52Becky Lynch understands it'll be a hostile crowd tonight because the woman who now calls Chicago home, AJ Lee, will
00:50:01have the backing of the majority of this crowd.
00:50:03It's a highly partisan environment here, but that's not going to shake a veteran like Becky Lynch, who at least
00:50:11in her mind is the woman who single-handedly turned women's wrestling into the massive juggernaut it is today.
00:50:20The truth might quite, might just be a little different there, especially considering who she's competing against, but as far
00:50:27as Becky Lynch is concerned, every ring is her territory.
00:50:31It's interesting, you see in the background there, the official of this matchup, someone who Becky Lynch has had major
00:50:36issues with as of late, Jessica Carr.
00:50:51The
00:50:51The
00:50:51The
00:50:51The
00:51:18I had a sit down with A.J. Lee a bit earlier today.
00:51:21Talked to her a lot about this moment tonight here in Chicago, her adopted hometown.
00:51:26And, of course, the personal issues with Becky Lynch.
00:51:29And the fact that this is A.J. Lee's first singles match in over a decade,
00:51:35in her first title match in 11 years, will that affect her tonight?
00:51:38Well, let me put a little perspective on that, Michael Cole.
00:51:42I have had a singles match more recently than A.J. Lee.
00:51:47And now you're telling me A.J. Lee, after 10 years in the wilderness,
00:51:51albeit with a couple of matches with alongside her husband in mixed tag
00:51:56and inside the war games where you have people to lean on,
00:51:59she now has to do it alone against one of the best on the planet in Becky Lynch.
00:52:03I'm not buying it.
00:52:04Let's head up to Mark Nash.
00:52:10The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:52:14and in four, the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
00:52:23Introducing first, the challenger from Union City, New Jersey,
00:52:30A.J. Lee!
00:52:41And her opponent, from Dublin, Ireland.
00:52:45She is the Women's Intercontinental Champion,
00:52:51Big Time Becky Lynch!
00:52:56Well, the delusional Becky Lynch claims that the mayor of Chicago
00:53:01named today Becky Lynch Day.
00:53:05Becky claims that she will humiliate A.J. Styles
00:53:08in front of all her family and friends here tonight
00:53:11and make her retire.
00:53:12And her nickname for A.J., absolute joke, A.J. Lee.
00:53:17Well, you say that derisively.
00:53:19However, should Becky Lynch put A.J. Lee away in short order here,
00:53:24I would actually agree with the nickname that A.J. Lee would be an absolute joke.
00:53:28A.J. Lee tapped Becky Lynch out at Wrestlepalooza in the mixed tag match.
00:53:33Then back at War Games, tapped out Becky again to win War Games.
00:53:38Costs Becky her first reign as Intercontinental Championship
00:53:41and now hopes to win the title from Becky tonight.
00:53:44If you're Becky, what strategy do you use coming into this against A.J. Lee?
00:53:47You absolutely smother A.J. Lee.
00:53:49I promise you right now, the nerves in A.J. Lee are going to be through the roof in this
00:53:54position.
00:53:55She hides it well.
00:53:56You put on a face of confidence.
00:53:58But right now, A.J. Lee must feel like the loneliest person on planet Earth
00:54:03ten years removed from being in this exact situation.
00:54:07Becky told me earlier today that she's going to try to out-wrestle A.J. Lee,
00:54:11realizing A.J. may be rusty.
00:54:13Of course, it's been a decade since you mentioned she's been in a one-on-one match.
00:54:17And I'll tell you right now, I went through the debate since you mentioned she's been in a one-on
00:54:20-one match.
00:54:21And I'll tell you right now, I went through the developmental system in WWE
00:54:25alongside A.J. Lee during my time in Florida Championship Wrestling
00:54:29with a great coach, Dr. Tom Pritchard.
00:54:31And one of his quotes was,
00:54:32there is no cheating reps.
00:54:35And the truth is, A.J. Lee has just not had reps in the singles game.
00:54:40Certainly not at this level.
00:54:42And that means there's nowhere to hide.
00:54:44A.J. telling me earlier that she won one of her Divas Championships here in Chicago.
00:54:51Returned here last year and feels very comfortable wrestling here tonight.
00:54:58Now the headlock by Becky Lynch as A.J. looks to fight out.
00:55:02A couple of well-placed shots to the kidneys of Becky.
00:55:05And has to roll through.
00:55:07And A.J. nice takedown cover now on the champ and a kick out.
00:55:10For A.J., how does she win the title?
00:55:12Uh-oh, look at this.
00:55:13Oh, here we go.
00:55:14Rolling up Becky and a kick out.
00:55:16Well, what's the key to success been for A.J. when it comes to Becky Lynch over the past six
00:55:20months?
00:55:20It's been that Black Widow submission.
00:55:22That is something that I genuinely think lingers in the mind of Becky Lynch.
00:55:26And there's some real fear for Becky.
00:55:28Knowing full well that if that gets locked in, she's tapping out and she's losing the gold.
00:55:33And Becky, who's had a tendency as of late to get very frustrated in the ring,
00:55:38has to hold those emotions in check tonight.
00:55:41Not let this crowd get under her skin.
00:55:44Well, I think Becky Lynch came into this one thinking it would be over by now.
00:55:48It was going to be two or three minutes.
00:55:50She was going to rush A.J. Lee.
00:55:51A.J. Lee has just not allowed that to happen.
00:55:54And now the frustration about self-doubt kicking in for Becky Lynch.
00:55:58Hammerlock and Becky Lynch now writhing in pain.
00:56:01And look at A.J. Lee now continuing the pressure.
00:56:04Will Becky tap?
00:56:04If she does, A.J. wins the title.
00:56:07Well, tapping into those technical skills that she was so well known for her first time around in WWE
00:56:13and now tying up Becky Lynch in knots.
00:56:16And Becky now turns it into a hammerlock of her own.
00:56:23Intercontinental champion sent outside the ring.
00:56:26Remember, champion's advantage for Becky.
00:56:28A.J. must pin or tap Lynch to win the title.
00:56:31Countouts, disqualifications, though.
00:56:34Doesn't help A.J. at all.
00:56:35And that frustration on the outside.
00:56:38You saw Becky Lynch booting the hell out of our security barrier.
00:56:41And that skipping around the ring from A.J. Lee is not going to help the mindset of the Intercontinental
00:56:46champ.
00:56:47And Becky barking at Jessica Carr, who she calls the most crooked referee in the history of WWE.
00:56:53A lot of people who are a fast-count car has cost Becky Lynch championships before.
00:56:59And who knows what she's up to again tonight.
00:57:01And keeping a very close eye on this referee, who I simply do not trust.
00:57:04And I know Becky Lynch feels the exact same way.
00:57:07A.J. Lee tried to go up over the top, intercepted by Lynch.
00:57:11And A.J. nice take down.
00:57:13And now a dropkick to Becky.
00:57:16God, how crisp and nimble is A.J. Lee been in the early goings there?
00:57:20I certainly wasn't expecting that.
00:57:21Oh!
00:57:22God, that changes everything.
00:57:23Hold on.
00:57:24Ain't no mistake about it.
00:57:26A.J.'s been training with her husband.
00:57:27The world champ CM Punk will be out here in a matter of moments as Becky Lynch now rains down
00:57:32right hands.
00:57:33And that's what you're talking about, training.
00:57:35Training is great.
00:57:36Training is important.
00:57:37But these are live rounds now.
00:57:38You never get drilled at the same level in training as you do.
00:57:42When the spotlight's on and gold is on the line.
00:57:45And especially with Becky, who just has a little more malice in every one of her punches to A.J.
00:57:50Lee.
00:57:51This has become so personal.
00:57:53Yeah, there's a lot of ego on the line here.
00:57:55Obviously, all the talk is about the Intercontinental Championship, which is huge in WrestleMania season.
00:58:00But these are two women who, between them, put women's wrestling where it is today.
00:58:06Who's going to get the credit, perhaps, whoever wins this match now?
00:58:10So there's a lot more than just a championship riding on this.
00:58:14Well, there's no doubt that Becky Lynch has already developed a Hall of Fame resume in WWE.
00:58:20And now she's mouthing off to the over 19,000 in Chicago here tonight.
00:58:27That's what you can do when you're in full control of an opponent like this.
00:58:31They might not like it, but there's nothing they can do about it.
00:58:34And getting ragged on now is Lee.
00:58:35By Lynch to retain.
00:58:37Hook the inside leg.
00:58:38And A.J. kicked it, too.
00:58:39And again, Becky talking to herself a bit.
00:58:42Cannot allow frustration to creep in here.
00:58:45And this is something Lee has talked about in the past.
00:58:48She sees Lynch as an arrogant bully.
00:58:50Needs taking down a peg or two.
00:58:52Whilst you may agree with the first part of that, taking Lynch down a peg or two,
00:58:57has proven to be incredibly difficult for a lot of women in the locker room.
00:59:01I think a lot of people think she's an arrogant bully.
00:59:03She's also a champion, though.
00:59:04And she's a conspiracy theorist.
00:59:08She makes things up.
00:59:10No, she doesn't.
00:59:11You obviously don't follow her on social media.
00:59:14Yes, I do.
00:59:15Subscribe to her Patreon, too.
00:59:18Get all the insight, Josh.
00:59:19She also called you the biggest liar on the commentary table,
00:59:23and you've just proven her right.
00:59:24You won a Bexy Award for it, correct?
00:59:26I didn't accept it.
00:59:27And A.J. now whipped into the corner by Lynch,
00:59:29who's having her way with A.J. Lee.
00:59:33And Becky looking for the death blow here.
00:59:36A.J. dropped in the corner.
00:59:38Becky Lee now for the kick.
00:59:40And it's suddenly become all Becky Lynch.
00:59:42Gets floater!
00:59:44Into the cover to retain the Intercontinental title.
00:59:47And Becky's done a great job taking this crowd out of the match.
00:59:50Yeah, they're in shock right now.
00:59:52So here's the problem.
00:59:53Hot right from the start was A.J. Lee.
00:59:55And when you have a lack of reps, as A.J. obviously does with 10 years out,
01:00:00suddenly you hit a brick wall when it comes to your cardio and conditioning.
01:00:04The kind of thing that simply cannot be helped in training alone.
01:00:09And Becky now toying with A.J.
01:00:11I'm not sure that's wise.
01:00:14No.
01:00:15Ran right into a right hand.
01:00:17A.J.'s trying to rally there,
01:00:18and Becky Lynch stopped her in her tracks.
01:00:21Well, A.J.'s certainly an emotionally volatile individual.
01:00:25She says herself she can be erratic at times,
01:00:28and I think the provocation might have let a fire inside A.J. here.
01:00:32I was going to say, I don't think erratic is bad right now
01:00:34against the Intercontinental Champion.
01:00:35And here comes Lee.
01:00:37A.J. Lee unloading on Becky Lynch.
01:00:39Here comes A.J.
01:00:40Becky, though, kick right to the midsection.
01:00:44An uppercut down.
01:00:45Wow.
01:00:46By big-time Bex.
01:00:51A.J. Lee, though, quickly off the ropes.
01:00:54Connected with a nice bulldog there that has finally knocked the steam out of Becky Lynch.
01:01:00Question being, can A.J. Lee find some sort of reserve
01:01:04to mount a major comeback in this championship match?
01:01:08Yeah, this is a critical moment for A.J.
01:01:10It allows her to reset, catch her breath a bit.
01:01:12Again, ring shape could be an issue with A.J.
01:01:14coming into this one.
01:01:16Well, she's got that frame that is simply built for speed
01:01:19and being elusive, and that speed is starting to come to the fore now,
01:01:23finding a major second wind here.
01:01:25Yeah, picking up some momentum into the corner, though.
01:01:27Becky sidestepped.
01:01:28This time she got caught, went to the well once too often.
01:01:31Telegraphed that one.
01:01:32A.J. Lee stops Becky Lynch.
01:01:34Now Lee from the second rope.
01:01:36Tornado DDT to Lynch.
01:01:38Looks like A.J. Lee has suddenly got a major spark back.
01:01:42Shining Wizard.
01:01:44Lee for the title.
01:01:47Becky kicks out.
01:01:49Well, that belief is now fully back with A.J. Lee,
01:01:53who almost won this thing.
01:01:55This audience, too, starting to believe that A.J. can get this done.
01:01:58That Shining Wizard, which was such an important part of A.J.'s arsenal over the years,
01:02:05almost took out Becky Lynch.
01:02:12A.J. sent to the corner.
01:02:14Becky ducks underneath, looking for the manhandle slam.
01:02:16A.J., though, able to counter.
01:02:18Rolls into a pinning combination, a kick out by the champ at two.
01:02:21Hit now on A.J. Lee, who's got to kick out at two.
01:02:24Yeah, if this turns into a chess game, it may start to favor A.J. Lee, and it may...
01:02:28Looking for the Black Widow, but Becky Lynch countered.
01:02:31Cover for the win to retain, and a kick out at two.
01:02:35Well, clearly, Becky Lynch has been working on the reversals to that Black Widow,
01:02:39knowing full well the damage it holds.
01:02:42And she's already tapped twice to it over the past six months.
01:02:50Becky, is she getting frustrated, Wade?
01:02:51And look at this, Becky Lynch now, exposing a steel turnbuckle.
01:02:57The referee missed the entire thing there.
01:02:59Oh, she was dealing with A.J., she was doing her job, Wade.
01:03:01And now A.J. sent to the corner.
01:03:04Converting disaster there.
01:03:08Big kick.
01:03:10Knocks senseless now is Becky Lynch.
01:03:13Pace first goes Lynch.
01:03:15Certainly will not help matters.
01:03:18Turns for A.J. Lee to really pick up the pace here.
01:03:24Went up top of Becky Lynch, the wily veteran.
01:03:29I mean, just such great instincts from Becky Lynch.
01:03:33She's got that unmatched finesse,
01:03:35and an extra level of aggression tonight against her most hated rival.
01:03:39That's one reason she's one of the all-time greats.
01:03:43Never ending debating that.
01:03:45Superplex!
01:03:47And Becky now with an arm bar on A.J. Lee.
01:03:52And A.J. now going to try to counter this.
01:03:56Smart move.
01:03:58And now rolls over Lynch, forces to break off the pin.
01:04:02Big kick by A.J.
01:04:04Becky may be out.
01:04:05Can A.J. capitalize?
01:04:06Yeah, right on the temple, but too much has been taken out of A.J. Lee.
01:04:11Cover now for Lee.
01:04:13Becky survives it too.
01:04:14Yeah, just a groggy pin there from A.J. Lee,
01:04:17who's had the stuffing knocked out of her already.
01:04:20Come pounce on the pin quick enough,
01:04:22giving Lynch just enough time to kick out.
01:04:24And now the official Jessica Carr.
01:04:29Realizing that the protective padding has come off the turnbuckle,
01:04:32going to put it back on.
01:04:39Oh.
01:04:40Oh, no!
01:04:42Roll up by Becky!
01:04:43Jessica Carr momentarily stunned.
01:04:47Momentarily stunned led to slow count.
01:04:49Oh, no!
01:04:51Becky just took out Jessica Carr.
01:04:53Inadverted, Cole.
01:04:54Don't spin that.
01:04:55She didn't seem to give a damn.
01:04:57And now A.J. Lee with a block widow.
01:04:59The block widow locked in on Becky Lynch.
01:05:02Oh, absolutely.
01:05:02Becky's tapping.
01:05:04Becky's tapping.
01:05:04The ref doesn't see it though, George.
01:05:06A.J. should win the title.
01:05:07You know as well as I do, that's not how it works,
01:05:10but Becky Lynch may have her arm snapped at that point.
01:05:12That was locked in a long time.
01:05:14Rev did not see it.
01:05:15Rev cannot give the call.
01:05:21Well, A.J. Lee should be the Intercontinental Champion right now.
01:05:27And now Becky just attacking A.J. from behind
01:05:31as she went to check on the official.
01:05:33Oh, God.
01:05:33This match completely falling apart at the seams now.
01:05:36There's no law.
01:05:37There's no authority in this one at present.
01:05:39Yeah, this is right up Becky's alleyway.
01:05:46And over 19,000 all over the champion.
01:05:49Telling Becky Lynch, you tap down.
01:05:52Well, it doesn't count if the referee doesn't see it.
01:05:55It's all for naught.
01:05:56And this match is continuing.
01:05:58And the championship has swung back to the grasp of Becky Lynch,
01:06:03at least for now.
01:06:04Becky glancing back at her Intercontinental title
01:06:07as she just beats up A.J. Lee.
01:06:09The official, Jessica Carr, is still down.
01:06:18And A.J. in trouble because Becky can do whatever she wants now
01:06:23with the official out.
01:06:24Well, technically, we would have had a tap-out
01:06:26and a count-out by now.
01:06:28Perhaps a double count-out.
01:06:30Maybe even a disqualification the way this is going.
01:06:33You can do whatever you want, providing the ref is down.
01:06:36Becky setting a steel chair in the ring
01:06:39as A.J. Lee now looks to fight back in this.
01:06:43That's a much-needed fight back from A.J. Lee
01:06:45given what, no doubt, Becky Lynch was cooking up there.
01:06:49Becky driven into the barricade.
01:06:53I'll say a lot for the durability and endurance of A.J. Lee
01:06:58where I'm now in seriously deep water.
01:07:01Oh!
01:07:02Yeah, A.J. is so impressive here.
01:07:07Sending Becky back into the ring.
01:07:09Just grimacing through the pain
01:07:11but continuing to try and grind out a result here.
01:07:16Back elbow by A.J.
01:07:18Up now to the second rope.
01:07:20A.J.
01:07:21Oh!
01:07:23Connecting knee first with a steel chair.
01:07:26That was an ugly land.
01:07:27Oh, and now the DDT planting A.J. on the chair.
01:07:30Becky gets rid of the evidence.
01:07:32A.J. may be out.
01:07:34The body of A.J. Lee is completely wrecked.
01:07:37The fast-town car is coming round
01:07:39just at the right time for the champ.
01:07:42Fan handle slam!
01:07:45The cover!
01:07:47A.J. kicked out!
01:07:52And Becky can't believe it!
01:08:17And it might be starting to dawn on the jam
01:08:20that tonight is just not your night, Becky Lynch.
01:08:29And now AJ rolling up Becky, going to kick out at two.
01:08:33Again, this rivalry between Lynch and Jessica Carr.
01:08:37Nice takedown by AJ Lee, continues here.
01:08:43Both women clinging on by a thread at this point,
01:08:47looking completely rattled, understandably.
01:08:50And Becky colliding with the exposed turnbuckle.
01:08:54The turnbuckle that Becky exposed.
01:08:58Black Widow, center of the ring.
01:09:00The referee's right there.
01:09:02Becky taps out.
01:09:03AJ wins the Intercontinental title.
01:09:06Here is your winner by submission and new women's Intercontinental champion, AJ Lee!
01:09:26Her first championship in 11 years.
01:09:32How sweet it is for AJ Lee!
01:09:42Well, this is how we got there.
01:09:44One manhandle slam.
01:09:46It's all over, right?
01:09:47Chairs involved prior to this.
01:09:50Unfathomably, AJ Lee finding the will to kick out.
01:09:54And just let it look like AJ was going face first into that exposed buckle.
01:09:59Referee Jessica Carr put the brakes on that one.
01:10:03Quick pin attempt.
01:10:05And then this charge from Becky Lynch straight into said exposed buckle.
01:10:11Followed by, once again, Old Faithful, the one that's done so much damage to Becky Lynch,
01:10:17the Black Widow, the tap out.
01:10:19And AJ Lee picks up the Intercontinental championship on the road to WrestleMania.
01:10:30Not once, not twice, but three times in less than six months, AJ Lee taps out Becky Lynch.
01:10:41And tonight, it earns her the Intercontinental championship.
01:11:20What a nice, yeah.
01:11:21Truth, you wanted to talk to us about...
01:11:22See, you said you know what's in the box.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:24Yes, that's right.
01:11:25Okay.
01:11:25I had to smell it, dog.
01:11:26It smelled good.
01:11:27What are you talking about?
01:11:28I give you the Papa John Pan Pizza.
01:11:33It has a golden brown crispy garlic parmesan crust.
01:11:37Yes, it does.
01:11:38Soft and chewy scent.
01:11:40Watch this.
01:11:42Mmm.
01:11:43Mmm.
01:11:45Mmm.
01:11:46Actually, don't worry about what's in this box.
01:11:48I hound it from here.
01:11:52Are you hungry?
01:11:53I am now.
01:11:54Yeah.
01:11:55I want to know what's in the box.
01:11:56Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, the conquering hero returns home.
01:12:02CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against the man who claims he's going to shake up WrestleMania.
01:12:09Finn Balor.
01:12:10It's live, and it's next.
01:19:40Back in January.
01:19:42It was a home game for Balor.
