00:03:13And the stars are out tonight.
00:03:15It's the last chance to earn a WWE title opportunity
00:03:20at 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,

00:03:38Finn Balor says he'll shake up the main event
00:03:40at WrestleMania tonight
00:03:42when he wins the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:46Also tonight, the Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch,
00:03:49has an away game for backs against the wall
00:03:52because she's in the hometown of none other than AJ Lee.
00:03:57First title match in 11 years,
00:03:59is accompanied by her husband, Chicago's own CM Punk,
00:04:02who defends the world title versus Finn Balor tonight.
00:04:13It is a menacing steel structure
00:04:16known as the Elimination Chamber.
00:04:1924 years old this year.
00:04:23It will surround the ring as we kick off the homestretch 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
00:04:57until all pods are empty.
00:05:00Super superstars are eliminated by pinfall or submission.
00:05:06The last superstar standing will be declared the winner
00:05:11and go on to challenge
00:05:13the WWE Women's Champion,
00:05:16Jade Cargill,
00:05:18at WrestleMania 42.
00:05:21Two…
00:05:221…
00:05:2822…
00:05:308…
00:05:3210…
00:05:335…
00:05:3512…
00:05:352…
00:05:3712…
00:05:3910…
00:05:4812…
00:05:5012…
00:05:502…
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.
00:06:12Second all-time to Liv Morgan, who is at six on the women's side of things.
00:06:19Alexa Bliss knows what it takes to win the Chamber.
00:06:22She won the inaugural Women's Chamber match back in 2018.
00:06:26Yeah, here's a woman with an all-timer resume,
00:06:29who has been mainly focused on tag action in recent months,
00:06:34but looking to get back to the very top.
00:06:36It has been a long time since Alexa Bliss has held World Championship gold.
00:06:41She gets one step closer tonight with victory inside the Chamber.
00:06:45Highly decorated with four world champs, five world championships in her career,
00:06:50four tag team titles.
00:06:52And she will be locked inside a pod, inside the Chamber,
00:06:56to start off this matchup here tonight.
00:06:59Hello, everybody.
00:07:00At ringside, I'm Michael Cole.
00:07:01He's Wade Barrett.
00:07:02We're in the final PLE stop before WrestleMania.
00:07:06Yeah, this entire arena is now vibrating.
00:07:08It's not just the music, it is the energy of this audience.
00:07:12And trust me, the vibrations in the locker room are massive.
00:07:15This is a huge step towards making your dreams come true at WrestleMania.
00:07:19The winner of this Chamber match tonight will head to WrestleMania
00:07:22to take on Jade Cargill for the WWE Championship.
00:07:28Jade Cargill, we understand, is in attendance here tonight at the United Center
00:07:33in Chicago among the 19,000-plus.
00:07:36She's looking on.
00:07:38She will learn in a matter of moments who she will face at WrestleMania.
00:07:45WrestleMania.
00:07:46WrestleMania.
00:07:49WrestleMania.
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 until it's her turn.
00:08:52Next, from Osaka, Japan, she is one half of the Kabuki Warriors, Asuka!
00:09:02Another woman who has massive experience inside the Chamber.
00:09:05Her third Chamber match here tonight.
00:09:08She won back in 2023, which would earn her a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:09:16Way to the history of Elimination Chamber.
00:09:18Only one woman has won this match twice.
00:09:20That was Bianca Belair.
00:09:22Alexa 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.
00:09:33But Asuka is certainly ready for the Chamber.
00:09:36And indeed, Alexa Bliss.
00:09:37She's not able to do this.
00:09:39Let's see.
00:09:39Here we go.
00:09:43Let's see.
00:09:43Let's see.
00:09:57Let's see.
00:10:13Next one.
00:10:28From Rio Grande, Raleigh, Texas, representing the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:10:37For 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 Lynn Morgan, the winner of the Women's Oil Rumbleweight, will challenge Stephanie
00:10:50to care at WrestleMania for the world title.
00:10:53Raquel Rodriguez wins tonight, another member of Judgment Day will challenge for a championship,
00:10:59the WWE title at WrestleMania.
00:11:01Well, this is the Judgment Day, getting back to what they do best.
00:11:05Ever since Lynn Morgan's return, all members exclusively focused on the acquisition of gold,
00:11:11and they can't make it at all.
00:11:12Judgment 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!
00:11:53on a juntas and a tie that I have to go,
00:12:04E.C.P.×–×”
00:12:08would? All
00:12:15maybe it may not be or maybe it may not be or may it may not be. You're
00:12:20size of your circumstances. Thanks, from
00:12:20Adelaide, South Australia.
00:12:26I've said this before, and I'm going to say it again.
00:12:29Google 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 Eoskai 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.
00:13:06Yeah, 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,
00:14:17and 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 into the ring.
00:14:52From Sioux City,
00:14:54Iowa,
00:14:56Kiana James!
00:14:58Wade,
00:14:59you and I have been touting the attributes of Kiana James
00:15:02for 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,
00:15:11of course,
00:15:12one of the biggest upsets,
00:15:13I believe,
00:15:14in SmackDown history,
00:15:15when she knocked off Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair,
00:15:18pinning the Queen to qualify tonight.
00:15:20Yeah,
00:15:21not everybody gets handed the same opportunity
00:15:23right off the bat
00:15:25when it comes to WWE.
00:15:27Kiana has had to make meals
00:15:29out 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,
00:15:35as you mentioned,
00:15:35she defeated Charlotte and Nia to qualify for this.
00:15:39The 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
00:15:59was 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
00:16:05in an exclusive interview
00:16:06that she,
00:16:07well,
00:16:08wants to come back
00:16:09stronger than ever.
00:16:111% better in the ring
00:16:13every single day
00:16:15has helped her develop
00:16:16a mental toughness
00:16:18in that brick-by-brick approach
00:16:20to get better.
00:16:21What an opportunity
00:16:22for the woman who you claim
00:16:23will fly under the radar tonight.
00:16:26Yeah,
00:16:26as smart as they come,
00:16:28Kiana James knows
00:16:29the 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
00:16:37in a run on SmackDown so far.
00:16:39Panic Launcher
00:16:40all the way
00:16:41to WrestleMania.
00:16:52It's tippy time!
00:17:12And from Pryor Lake,
00:17:15Minnesota,
00:17:15Tiffany Stratton!
00:17:18Tiffany Stratton beat Chelsea Green
00:17:20in last legend
00:17:20to qualify for tonight.
00:17:22It's her second chamber match
00:17:23in 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 tagged
00:17:29to the Hall of Famer,
00:17:31the legendary Trish Stratus
00:17:32in Toronto.
00:17:33Ooh,
00:17:34well,
00:17:342025 as a Hall
00:17:35was an absolute banner year
00:17:37for Tiffany Stratton
00:17:39all the way
00:17:40up until she lost
00:17:43her Women's WWE Championship
00:17:45to one
00:17:46Jade Cargill.
00:17:47Now,
00:17:48she got injured
00:17:48in the process
00:17:49of that loss
00:17:50and has been desperate
00:17:51to get a rematch
00:17:52with Cargill
00:17:53ever since.
00:17:54It's a real simple process.
00:17:56You just have to win
00:17:57the chamber
00:17:57from the very start
00:17:59to be then.
00:18:00You get your day
00:18:01with destiny
00:18:02with Jade Cargill.
00:18:03One note on the
00:18:04number two entry mark
00:18:06for Kiana James
00:18:07in this matchup.
00:18:09Number two,
00:18:10the least amount of wins
00:18:11in elimination
00:18:12chamber match history.
00:18:13Just three wins
00:18:14over the 24-year history
00:18:16of the chamber.
00:18:18So,
00:18:18the matchup starts
00:18:19with two women in the ring.
00:18:20At regular intervals,
00:18:22pods will open,
00:18:23another woman
00:18:23will enter the fray.
00:18:24This is an elimination match.
00:18:26Once you lose,
00:18:27either pinned or submitted,
00:18:29you gotta head back
00:18:29to 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
00:18:42calling for the bell.
00:18:44He'll work the matchup
00:18:45inside the ring.
00:18:46Outside,
00:18:47a number of officials
00:18:47will guard the pods,
00:18:49open the pods
00:18:49when it is necessary.
00:18:51So,
00:18:51James and Tiffany Stratton,
00:18:53wait,
00:18:53what type of strategy
00:18:54do you use
00:18:54when you start
00:18:55this matchup off?
00:18:56Well,
00:18:56you've mentioned
00:18:57we've got some veterans
00:18:58in there
00:18:58who experienced
00:18:59the chamber before.
00:19:00We also have some others
00:19:01such as
00:19:01Kiana James
00:19:02who have not.
00:19:04Kiana James
00:19:04is in for a massive shock
00:19:06imminently
00:19:07once she tastes that steal
00:19:09for the very first time.
00:19:10Nothing can prepare you
00:19:11for it.
00:19:12My advice at this point
00:19:13is stay as far away
00:19:15from the outside
00:19:16of this ring
00:19:17for as long
00:19:18as you possibly can.
00:19:19My estimation,
00:19:20Kiana James
00:19:21is playing with
00:19:22house money tonight.
00:19:23Not really a lot
00:19:24to lose here
00:19:24but a perfect opportunity
00:19:26and a nice headlock
00:19:27takedown by Stratton.
00:19:28See,
00:19:28I actually disagree
00:19:29with you there.
00:19:30You have a lot to lose
00:19:31in the chamber
00:19:32regardless of the result
00:19:33when it comes to your health
00:19:35and longevity
00:19:35and longevity
00:19:36of your career.
00:19:36This is such a dangerous
00:19:38situation to be in
00:19:39although I do agree
00:19:40this is not where
00:19:41Kiana 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
00:19:49gymnasts
00:19:50in their college days
00:19:51brought that athleticism
00:19:53here to WWE.
00:19:56And I don't know
00:19:56Tiffany 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
00:20:01of disrespect
00:20:02being thrown
00:20:02at Kiana James
00:20:03from the entire
00:20:04women's locker room
00:20:05and I think
00:20:06after tonight
00:20:07those who have not
00:20:07been paying attention
00:20:08will suddenly
00:20:10gain a lot more respect
00:20:12for Little Miss Smarty Pants
00:20:14here.
00:20:14what a nice start.
00:20:15You know,
00:20:16we talked about it
00:20:16earlier today
00:20:17the chip,
00:20:18the massive chip
00:20:19on the shoulder
00:20:19of Kiana James.
00:20:21Very 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
00:20:29away there.
00:20:30Have a little rest
00:20:30till the next pod opens.
00:20:32Get yourself as fresh
00:20:33as you can
00:20:34because four more
00:20:35women are going
00:20:35to be consecutively
00:20:37introduced into this
00:20:38match.
00:20:39Each one fresher
00:20:39than the last.
00:20:40I think it also
00:20:41drives Kiana James
00:20:42the fact that
00:20:42for a lot of her
00:20:43career she's been
00:20:44overlooked by her
00:20:45buddy Julia.
00:20:46Oh and a nice
00:20:47basement dropkick
00:20:47by Stratt
00:20:48into the cover.
00:20:49Hooks the leg
00:20:50and a kick out
00:20:51at 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
00:20:55representative led
00:20:56Julia to a couple
00:20:58of championships
00:20:58already here
00:20:59on Smackdown.
00:21:01And that standing
00:21:02moonsault by
00:21:03Kiana James
00:21:03covered on Stratt
00:21:04and a kick out.
00:21:06The word is
00:21:06certainly out too
00:21:07about Kiana James
00:21:08now and the
00:21:09taste for gold
00:21:10has spread around
00:21:13Julia and Kiana
00:21:15and that is an
00:21:16addictive thing
00:21:17to have.
00:21:18Man they could have
00:21:18a whole lot of gold
00:21:19come Wrestlemania.
00:21:21See Tiffany in the
00:21:22ring.
00:21:22She battled
00:21:23Kairi Sane
00:21:2324 hours ago.
00:21:25Masterclass put on
00:21:26by Asuka
00:21:26who originally
00:21:27accepted Tiffany
00:21:28Stratt's challenge.
00:21:29Yeah you've got to
00:21:30be absolutely insane
00:21:31to accept a match
00:21:3224 hours before
00:21:34a massive battle
00:21:35like this.
00:21:36Well certainly
00:21:36Tiffany did on
00:21:37the basis that
00:21:38a fellow opponent
00:21:38in Asuka was
00:21:39gonna and then
00:21:40a last minute
00:21:40switcheroo
00:21:41changed that
00:21:41to Kairi Sane
00:21:42so fresh is a
00:21:43daisy as Asuka
00:21:44whereas pre-beaten
00:21:46up perhaps is
00:21:47Tiffany Stratt
00:21:48and despite
00:21:48getting the victory
00:21:49yesterday.
00:21:50Yeah and then
00:21:50she had to start
00:21:51the match up
00:21:52off as well.
00:21:53And Kiana now
00:21:54tossing Stratt
00:21:55outside the ropes
00:21:56again there are
00:21:56no disqualifications
00:21:57obviously no
00:21:58count outs in this
00:21:59match.
00:21:59This is the
00:22:00danger zone right
00:22:01now as soon as
00:22:02you leave the
00:22:02inside of those
00:22:03ropes there is
00:22:04steel metal
00:22:05everywhere you
00:22:06look and there
00:22:07is no part of
00:22:07the human body
00:22:08that likes being
00:22:09introduced to
00:22:10cold hard steel.
00:22:12Kiana looking for
00:22:12a suplex block
00:22:13three times now
00:22:14by Tiffany
00:22:14who delivers
00:22:15one of her own
00:22:16and you see the
00:22:17back buckle of
00:22:18Kiana what does
00:22:19that feel like?
00:22:20Well that is a
00:22:20certain regret now
00:22:22coursing through
00:22:23the veins of
00:22:24Kiana whatever
00:22:24strategy she had
00:22:26to take down
00:22:26Tiffany Stratton
00:22:27has backfired in
00:22:28the worst way
00:22:29and welcome to
00:22:30the chamber
00:22:31and Kiana rolled
00:22:32out of harm's
00:22:33way and Tiffany
00:22:34head first
00:22:35into the pod
00:22:36as Raquel Rodriguez
00:22:37laughs at her.
00:22:38Oh man you see
00:22:39all that gymnastic
00:22:40ability but it
00:22:41backfired 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
00:22:48way and
00:22:49there's a big
00:22:50mammy cool like
00:22:51the look of that.
00:22:51And wait the
00:22:52thing about the
00:22:53chamber is sometimes
00:22:53you have to change
00:22:54your game.
00:22:55You got to change
00:22:56your offense a little
00:22:56bit.
00:22:57You can't go back
00:22:57to the well with
00:22:58the things that
00:22:58have brought you
00:22:59there because it
00:22:59can get you in
00:23:00trouble like we
00:23:01saw there.
00:23:04Who will enter the
00:23:05chamber next?
00:23:13The empress of
00:23:15tomorrow Oscar
00:23:17waiting for the
00:23:17door to open
00:23:18and that's it
00:23:18Kiana James with a
00:23:20preemptive strike
00:23:21driving Oscar into
00:23:22the pod.
00:23:23Well absolutely
00:23:24ball rushing Oscar
00:23:25knowing full well
00:23:26that Oscar is one
00:23:27of the biggest
00:23:27threats in this
00:23:28match.
00:23:29Kiana James smart
00:23:30enough to stop
00:23:31Oscar getting out
00:23:31the blobs but it
00:23:32simply didn't last.
00:23:34Oh goodness look
00:23:35at this just
00:23:36pounding bouncing
00:23:37Kiana James off the
00:23:39pod.
00:23:40Yeah and this goes
00:23:41back to what you
00:23:41were talking about
00:23:42moments ago about
00:23:43strategies and how
00:23:44you have to change
00:23:44them.
00:23:45This is the point
00:23:45Kiana James changes
00:23:46strategy because she
00:23:48can't remember the
00:23:49strategy that she
00:23:50came in with.
00:23:51And now Tiffany
00:23:51strapped
00:23:52driven into the
00:23:52pod by Oscar
00:23:53who's been
00:23:54relentless in her
00:23:55attack since
00:23:56coming into the
00:23:56chamber.
00:23:58Uncaged
00:23:58unleashed and wreaking
00:24:00havoc inside the
00:24:02elimination chamber
00:24:03two for the price
00:24:04of one.
00:24:05Now the Empress of
00:24:06Tomorrow.
00:24:07Closed line followed
00:24:07by a bulldog and
00:24:08Wade we've said
00:24:09this on several
00:24:09occasions.
00:24:10Oscar one of the
00:24:10most dangerous
00:24:11sprinting in WWE.
00:24:13Well no doubt
00:24:13about it there is
00:24:14nothing this woman
00:24:15cannot do in there.
00:24:16Everything this
00:24:17woman hits is hit
00:24:19with authority.
00:24:20And there is a
00:24:21certain demented
00:24:21look in the eye of
00:24:23Oscar now who is
00:24:24loving the carnage
00:24:25she can exact
00:24:26inside the chamber.
00:24:27A four-time world
00:24:28champion she's won
00:24:29five tag titles tied
00:24:30with Raquel for the
00:24:32most ever.
00:24:32We mentioned she
00:24:33won a chamber three
00:24:34years ago.
00:24:35And now the Empress
00:24:36of Tomorrow Asuka
00:24:37with a double
00:24:38missile drop kick
00:24:38to take out James
00:24:39and Stratton.
00:24:40Cover now on
00:24:41Kiana and a kick
00:24:42out by James.
00:24:43Now a cover on
00:24:44Stratton by Asuka
00:24:45and a kick out by
00:24:46Tiffany.
00:24:46So fantastic start
00:24:48here from Asuka
00:24:48taking down two
00:24:49opponents who were
00:24:50obviously pre-weekend
00:24:51as they started the
00:24:52match before Asuka
00:24:53did.
00:24:54Here's the issue
00:24:54Asuka has just
00:24:55burned up a ton
00:24:57of energy
00:24:58staying in control
00:24:59of this match
00:25:00and eventually
00:25:01that might come
00:25:02back to bite her
00:25:02in the latter stages.
00:25:04And you know
00:25:04Asuka beat a couple
00:25:05of legends to
00:25:06actually qualify.
00:25:07Bayley and Natty
00:25:08knocked off by Asuka
00:25:10earn her the
00:25:11opportunity tonight.
00:25:12He just tells you
00:25:13that Asuka really
00:25:13is firing on all
00:25:15cylinders as the
00:25:16best always do
00:25:17this time of year
00:25:17as we close in
00:25:18on Wrestlemania.
00:25:19And now Tiffany

00:25:22back elbow

00:25:24side.

00:26:42match for the

00:26:43It is not a
00:26:44look anybody
00:26:44should ever
00:26:45have on their
00:26:46face stepping
00:26:47into the
00:26:48carnage that
00:26:48is the
00:26:49elimination

00:26:52and Zelina
00:26:52to qualify

00:26:56Oh is a

00:26:58ominous presence
00:26:59surrounding
00:26:59Alexa Bliss
00:27:01and right off
00:27:02the bat
00:27:03dropping the
00:27:04entire field.

00:27:06eyes peeled
00:27:07threats
00:27:07everywhere you
00:27:07look Bliss.
00:27:09The fact that
00:27:09Alexa is in
00:27:10this match and
00:27:10her friend
00:27:11Charlotte Flair
00:27:12is not really
00:27:13is depressed
00:27:14Charlotte.
00:27:15Yeah she
00:27:15says she's
00:27:16fine.
00:27:16I do know
00:27:17for a fact
00:27:17when a woman
00:27:18tells you that
00:27:18she is never
00:27:19fine.
00:27:19Don't fall
00:27:20for that trap.
00:27:21Charlotte Flair
00:27:21very unhappy
00:27:22about missing
00:27:23out on the
00:27:23chamber.
00:27:24And Tiffany
00:27:24Stratton with
00:27:25a rolling
00:27:25sent time
00:27:26showing off
00:27:27her power
00:27:27here.
00:27:28Going to
00:27:28head up to
00:27:28the top rope
00:27:29looking for
00:27:29the prettiest
00:27:30moonsault ever
00:27:31but Alexa Bliss
00:27:33intercepted.
00:27:33It was a rough
00:27:34rough landing and
00:27:35Tiffany Stratton's
00:27:36been in this
00:27:36match a long
00:27:37time already
00:27:38and the
00:27:38Toll's
00:27:38show movement
00:27:40not quite as
00:27:41crisp as it
00:27:41was in the
00:27:42early goings
00:27:43and that drop
00:27:43kick to the
00:27:44gut will not
00:27:45help.
00:27:46Now Asuka
00:27:46stalking Alexa
00:27:47Bliss looking for
00:27:48a German
00:27:48suplex.
00:27:49Alexa able to
00:27:50deliver a back
00:27:51elbow.
00:27:58Oh and a
00:27:59big knee by
00:28:00James.
00:28:01Bliss rolls her up
00:28:03trying to take
00:28:03advantage.
00:28:04Bliss seems to have
00:28:05almost sense
00:28:06extra sensory
00:28:07perception on that
00:28:08one.
00:28:08Wait a second.
00:28:10I don't know about
00:28:11Kiana breaking that
00:28:12pin up.
00:28:13May have been a little
00:28:13inexperience there.
00:28:14You kind of want
00:28:15to eliminate
00:28:16opponents any way
00:28:17you can at this
00:28:18point.
00:28:19Yeah a bit
00:28:19overzealous perhaps
00:28:20but Kiana James
00:28:22has looked great so
00:28:23far in 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
00:28:31the match imminently.
00:28:34And bounced off
00:28:35the steel as Stratton.
00:28:38Two miles of
00:28:39chain link
00:28:41surround this
00:28:42structure.
00:28:43And now James
00:28:44looking to
00:28:45catapult Stratton
00:28:48into the pod.
00:28:52Face first
00:28:53getting completely
00:28:54wiped out
00:28:55is Stratton.
00:28:56Let's take
00:28:57another look
00:28:58at this slingshot
00:28:59right into
00:29:00that glass
00:29:01and steel
00:29:02just bouncing
00:29:04off skull first.
00:29:05What an epic
00:29:06display has been
00:29:07thus far from
00:29:08Kiana James
00:29:09but no time
00:29:10to rest
00:29:11no time
00:29:11to relax.
00:29:12Number five
00:29:13going to enter
00:29:13the chamber
00:29:14more wins
00:29:15than any other
00:29:16number.
00:29:16Number five
00:29:16nine wins
00:29:17in the history
00:29:18of the chamber
00:29:18so a lucky
00:29:19spot here.
00:29:24For the
00:29:25eradicator
00:29:27Rhea Ripley.
00:29:28Oh and Kiana
00:29:29James tried her best
00:29:30to rush it
00:29:30just as she did.
00:29:31Asuka simply
00:29:32didn't work.
00:29:33Clearly Ripley
00:29:34was waiting for it.
00:29:35Yeah Rhea
00:29:36who's had issues
00:29:36with Kiana
00:29:37issues with
00:29:38Asuka.
00:29:39So many of
00:29:40these women
00:29:40have issues
00:29:41in the tag
00:29:42division over
00:29:42on Smackdown
00:29:43including the
00:29:44two in the
00:29:45ring right now.
00:29:46Planting Asuka
00:29:47face first.
00:29:49Stratton now
00:29:49runs into a
00:29:50headbutt by
00:29:50Ripley.
00:29:51Ripley had
00:29:52any war wounds
00:29:53from last night
00:29:54losing tag goal
00:29:55to the
00:29:55irresistible
00:29:56forces.
00:29:56It's not
00:29:56showing.
00:29:58Rhea Ripley
00:29:59who knocked
00:29:59off Lyra,
00:30:00Valkyria and
00:30:01Ivy Nile
00:30:02to qualify
00:30:03tonight.
00:30:03Now turns
00:30:04her attention
00:30:05to Alexa
00:30:06Bliss.
00:30:11Look at
00:30:12this.
00:30:14Just pure
00:30:15power from
00:30:16Ripley.
00:30:17It's hard to
00:30:17argue with that
00:30:18but navigate
00:30:18here way out

00:30:39Bliss there as
00:30:39she wriggled
00:30:40out of that
00:30:40Riptide attempt
00:30:41but it might be
00:30:42about to get
00:30:42it worse now
00:30:43on the steal.
00:30:45Bliss does
00:30:46not want to

00:31:43Kiana James
00:31:43maybe avoided
00:31:45the worst of
00:31:45that one but
00:31:46three women
00:31:47completely wiped

00:33:17You know you

00:33:18Kiana James
00:33:19and the number
00:33:20of months that
00:33:20she's had here.
00:33:22What about
00:33:22Raquel Rodriguez
00:33:23really coming of
00:33:24age for Raquel?
00:33:25Oh and Rhea Ripley
00:33:26hung up by the top
00:33:27rope.
00:33:28Oh God
00:33:28Raquel stepped
00:33:29up absolutely
00:33:29huge when
00:33:31Liv Morgan

00:33:44smart strategy
00:33:45I thought.
00:33:45Now Rhea Ripley
00:33:46was the right
00:33:48idea.
00:33:48Very difficult
00:33:49to tear down
00:33:50someone as
00:33:50powerful as
00:33:51Raquel.
00:33:52Slowly teamwork
00:33:53seemed to get
00:33:54the job done.
00:33:55Oh God
00:33:55who the hell
00:33:56can man

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, L.A. Night's Night, where 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.
00:46:39And let's take a look at what's up next, the Intercontinental Championship.
00:46:48AJ Lee is back!
00:46:53Ten years ago, I retired.
00:46:57I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling, but 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.
00:47:17You're ruining my life!
00:47:21You're ruining my life!
00:47:21I'm flying across body!
00:47:24We got an exam!
00:47:26There 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?
00:47:45Elimination Chamber, it's in your hometown!
00:47:47It's in Chicago!
00:47:49You wanna go one-on-one with the greatest of all time?
00:47:52And it's not just me saying that other people saying everybody says it!
00:47:55Sports Illustrated says it!
00:47:56The Police Department says it!
00:47:58I haven't had a singles match in over a decade.
00:48:01Without Becky, maybe I wouldn't have even come back to prove that I can still be a champion.
00:48:08You do not deserve to hold this.
00:48:13But I deserve to get rid of you and retire you in front of all of your friends and family
00:48:21in your hometown of Chicago.
00:48:24Welcome to the big time!
00:48:28If I walked out of Chicago victorious, then I'm sure it's hell gonna walk into Wrestlemania
00:48:34as the Intercontinental Champion.
00:48:49The man has come around!
00:48:52The man has come around!
00:49:04The man has come around!
00:49:13so
00:49:24becky lynch a seven-time world champion two-time intercontinental champion her second reign began
00:49:32back on january 5th on the season premiere of monday night raw on netflix we'd like to thank
00:49:39everyone who is watching elimination chamber tonight the final stop on the road to wrestlemania
00:49:44for premium live events in the united states of course on the espn app and internationally
00:49:49on netflix becky lynch understands uh it'll be a hostile crowd tonight because the woman who now
00:49:58calls chicago home aj lee will have the backing of the majority of this crowd yeah highly partisan
00:50:05environment here but that's not going to shake a veteran like becky lynch who at least in her mind
00:50:12is 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
00:50:25competing against but as far as becky lynch is concerned every ring is her territory it's
00:50:31interesting you see in the background there the official of this matchup someone who becky lynch
00:50:36is at major issues with as of late jessica carr
00:50:50uh
00:50:51uh
00:50:51uh
00:50:51uh
00:50:54uh
00:50:55uh
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
00:51:24her adopted hometown and of course that 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 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,
00:52:31A.J. Lee.
00:52:40And her opponent from Dublin, Ireland.
00:52:44She is the Women's Intercontinental Champion,
00:52:52big time, Becky Lynch!
00:52:57Well, 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.
00:53:13And 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
00:53:31in the mixed tag match.
00:53:33Then back at War Games, tapped out Becky again
00:53:36to win War Games, cost Becky her first reign
00:53:39as 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
00:53:46coming into this against A.J. Lee?
00:53:48You absolutely smother A.J. Lee.
00:53:49I promise you right now, the nerves in A.J. Lee
00:53:52are going to be through the roof in this position.
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
00:54:02on planet Earth, 10 years removed
00:54:04from being in this exact situation.
00:54:07Becky told me earlier today
00:54:09that 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
00:54:15she's been in a one-on-one match.
00:54:17And I'll tell you right now, I went through the...
00:54:18...since you mentioned she's been in a one-on-one match.
00:54:21And I'll tell you right now, I went through the developmental system
00:54:24in WWE alongside A.J. Lee
00:54:26during my time in Florida Championship Wrestling
00:54:29with a great coach, Dr. Tom Pritchard.
00:54:31And one of his quotes was,
00:54:33there is no cheating reps.
00:54:35And the truth is, A.J. Lee has just not had reps
00:54:38in the singles game, certainly not at this level.
00:54:42And that means there's nowhere to hide.
00:54:44A.J. telling me earlier that she won
00:54:47one of her Divas Championships here in Chicago,
00:54:50returned here last year,
00:54:52and feels very comfortable wrestling here
00:54:56tonight.
00:54:58Now the headlock by Becky Lynch
00:55:00as A.J. looks to fight out.
00:55:02A couple of well-placed shots to the kidneys
00:55:04of Becky.
00:55:05And has to roll through.
00:55:07And A.J., nice takedown cover now
00:55:08on 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!
00:55:15And a kick-out.
00:55:16Well, what's the key to success been for A.J.
00:55:18when it comes to Becky Lynch?
00:55:19Over the past six months,
00:55:20it's been that Black Widow submission.
00:55:22That is something that I genuinely think
00:55:24lingers 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,
00:55:31she's tapping out, and she's losing the goal.
00:55:33And Becky, who's had a tendency as of late
00:55:36to 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
00:55:46thinking 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
00:55:57kicking 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
00:56:09that she was so well-known for her first time around
00:56:12in WWE, and 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, well,
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
00:56:43is not going to help the mindset of the Intercontinental champ.
00:56:46And Becky barking at Jessica Carr,
00:56:50who she calls the most crooked referee in the history of WWE.
00:56:54A lot of people call a fast-count car
00:56:56has 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,
00:57:03who 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,
00:57:09intercepted by Lynch.
00:57:11And A.J., nice takedown.
00:57:13And now a dropkick to Becky.
00:57:16God, how crisp and nimble has 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.
00:57:24Make 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
00:57:30as Becky Lynch now rains down right hands.
00:57:33And that's what you're talking about, training.
00:57:35Training is great, training is important,
00:57:37but these are live rounds now.
00:57:39You 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,
00:57:47who just has a little more malice in every one of her punches to A.J. Lee.
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,
00:57:58which is huge in WrestleMania season.
00:58:00But these are two women who, between them,
00:58:02put women's wrestling where it is today.
00:58:06Who's going to get the credit?
00:58:07Perhaps 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
00:58:19in 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.
00:58:34I'm 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.
00:58:53Whilst you may agree with the first part of that,
00:58:55taking 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.
00:59:08Where's the conspiracy?
00:59:09She 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.
00:59:15And subscribe 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.
00:59:29She'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 with a kick.
00:59:39And it's suddenly become all Becky Lynch.
00:59:42Exploder!
00:59:44Into the cover to retain the Intercontinental title.
00:59:47And Becky's done a great job taking this crowd out of a 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,
00:59:57as A.J. obviously does with 10 years out,
01:00:00suddenly you hit a brick wall
01:00:02when 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 her 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 lit 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,
01:00:36and here comes Lee.
01:00:37A.J. Lee unloading on Becky Lynch.
01:00:39Here comes A.J.
01:00:40Becky, though, kicked right to the midsection.
01:00:44An uppercut's down
01:00:47by big-time Bex.
01:00:51A.J. Lee, though, quickly off the ropes.
01:00:54Connected with a nice bulldog there
01:00:56that has finally knocked the steam out of Becky Lynch.
01:01:00Question being,
01:01:01can 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.
01:01:10Allows 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
01:01:17that is simply built for speed
01:01:19and being elusive,
01:01:20and 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,
01:01:30went 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.
01:01:37Tornado DDT to Lynch.
01:01:38Looks like A.J. Lee has suddenly
01:01:40got a major spark back.
01:01:42There it goes.
01:01:42Shining Wizard!
01:01:44Lee for the title!
01:01:47Becky kicks out!
01:01:49Well, that belief is now fully back
01:01:51with A.J. Lee,
01:01:53who almost won this thing.
01:01:55This audience too,
01:01:56starting to believe that A.J.
01:01:57can get this done.
01:01:58That Shining Wizard,
01:02:00which was such an important part
01:02:01of 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,
01:02:15looking for the manhandle slam.
01:02:16A.J. though,
01:02:17able to counter,
01:02:18rolls into a pinning combination
01:02:19and kick out by the champ of two.
01:02:20Hit now on A.J. Lee,
01:02:22who's got a kick out at two.
01:02:24Yeah, if this turns into a chess game,
01:02:26it may start to favor A.J. Lee
01:02:27and it may, oh!
01:02:28Looking for the Black Widow,
01:02:29but Becky Lynch countered.
01:02:31Cover for the win
01:02:32to retain
01:02:33and a kick out at two.
01:02:35Well, clearly,
01:02:36Becky Lynch has been working
01:02:37on the reversals
01:02:38to that Black Widow,
01:02:39knowing full well
01:02:40the damage it holds.
01:02:42And she's already tapped twice
01:02:44to it over the past six months.
01:02:50Becky, is she getting frustrated, Wade?
01:02:51And look at this.
01:02:52Becky Lynch now
01:02:55exposing a steel turnbuckle.
01:02:57The referee missed
01:02:57the entire thing there.
01:02:59Oh, she was dealing with A.J.
01:03:00She was doing her job, Wade.
01:03:01And now A.J. sent to the corner.
01:03:04Converting disaster there.
01:03:08A big kick.
01:03:10The knock senseless
01:03:11now is Becky Lynch.
01:03:13Face first goes Lynch.
01:03:15Certainly will not help matters.
01:03:18Turns for A.J. Lee
01:03:19to really pick up the pace here.
01:03:24Went up top
01:03:25with Becky Lynch,
01:03:26the Wiley veteran.
01:03:29I mean, just such great instincts
01:03:32from Becky Lynch.
01:03:33She's got that
01:03:33unmatched finesse
01:03:35and an extra level
01:03:36of aggression tonight
01:03:37against her most hated rival.
01:03:39That's one reason
01:03:40she's one of the all-time greats.
01:03:43Never any debating that.
01:03:45Superplex!
01:03:47And Becky now
01:03:48with an arm bar
01:03:50on A.J. Lee.
01:03:52And A.J. now
01:03:54going to try to counter this.
01:03:56Smart move.
01:03:58And now rolls over Lynch.
01:04:00Forces to break off the pin.
01:04:02Big kick by A.J.
01:04:04Becky may be out.
01:04:05Can A.J. capitalize?
01:04:07Yeah, right on the temple.
01:04:08But too much has been taken
01:04:09out of A.J. Lee.
01:04:11Cover now for Lee.
01:04:12Becky survives it too.
01:04:14Yeah, just a groggy pin there
01:04:16from A.J. Lee
01:04:17who's had the stuffing
01:04:18knocked out of her already.
01:04:20Come pounce on the pin
01:04:21quick enough
01:04:21giving Lynch
01:04:22just enough time
01:04:24to kick out.
01:04:24And now the official
01:04:25Jessica Carr
01:04:29realizing that the
01:04:30protective padding
01:04:31has come off the turnbuckle.
01:04:32we're going to put it back on.
01:04:39Oh!
01:04:40Oh no!
01:04:42Roll up by Becky!
01:04:43Jessica Carr
01:04:44momentarily stunned!
01:04:47Momentarily stunned
01:04:48led to slow count.
01:04:49Oh no!
01:04:50Becky just took out
01:04:52Jessica Carr.
01:04:53Inadvertent goals!
01:04:54Don't spin that!
01:04:55She didn't seem to give a damn.
01:04:57And now A.J. Lee
01:04:58with a block widow.
01:04:59The block widow
01:05:00locked in on Becky Lynch!
01:05:01Oh, absolutely!
01:05:02Becky's tapping!
01:05:03Becky's tapping!
01:05:04The ref doesn't see it though!
01:05:06A.J. should win the title!
01:05:07You know as well as I do
01:05:08that's not how it works
01:05:10but Becky Lynch
01:05:10may have her arm snapped
01:05:12at that point.
01:05:12That was locked in
01:05:13a long time.
01:05:14Ref did not see it.
01:05:15Ref cannot give the call.
01:05:21Well A.J. Lee
01:05:22should be the
01:05:22Intercontinental Champion
01:05:23right now.
01:05:27And now
01:05:28Becky just attacking
01:05:30A.J. from behind
01:05:31as she went to check
01:05:32on the official.
01:05:33Oh God!
01:05:33This match completely
01:05:34falling apart
01:05:35at the seams now.
01:05:37There's no law.
01:05:37There's no authority
01:05:38in this one.
01:05:39Yeah, this is right up
01:05:40Becky's alleyway.
01:05:45And over 19,000
01:05:47all over the champion.
01:05:49Telling Becky Lynch
01:05:50you tap down.
01:05:52Well it doesn't count
01:05:53if the referee
01:05:53doesn't see it.
01:05:55It's all for naught
01:05:55and this match is continuing.
01:05:58And the championship
01:05:59has swung back
01:06:00to the grasp
01:06:01of Becky Lynch
01:06:02at least for now.
01:06:04Becky glancing back
01:06:05at her Intercontinental title
01:06:06as she just
01:06:08beats up A.J. Lee.
01:06:10The official
01:06:11Jessica Carr
01:06:11is still down.
01:06:18And A.J.
01:06:19in trouble
01:06:20because Becky
01:06:20can do whatever
01:06:21she wants now
01:06:23with the official out.
01:06:25Well technically
01:06:25we would have had
01:06:26a tap out
01:06:26and a count out
01:06:28by now.
01:06:28Perhaps a double count out
01:06:30or maybe even
01:06:31a disqualification
01:06:32the way this is going.
01:06:33You can do
01:06:34whatever you want
01:06:35providing the ref is down.
01:06:37Becky's sending
01:06:37a steel chair
01:06:38in the ring
01:06:39as A.J. Lee now
01:06:41looks to fight back
01:06:42in this.
01:06:42That's a much needed
01:06:43fight back from A.J. Lee
01:06:45given what no doubt
01:06:47Becky Lynch
01:06:47was cooking up there.
01:06:48Becky
01:06:49driven into the barricade.
01:06:51A.J. Lee
01:06:53will say a lot
01:06:54for the durability
01:06:56and endurance
01:06:57of A.J. Lee
01:06:58who are now
01:06:59in seriously
01:07:00deep water.
01:07:02A.J. Lee
01:07:03A.J. Lee
01:07:03A.J. so impressive
01:07:04here.
01:07:06Sending Becky
01:07:08back into the ring.
01:07:09Just grimacing
01:07:10through the pain
01:07:11but continuing
01:07:12to try and grind
01:07:13out a result here.
01:07:16Back elbow
01:07:16by A.J.
01:07:18Up now
01:07:19to the second rope.
01:07:20A.J.
01:07:21Oh!
01:07:23Connecting knee
01:07:24first with a steel chair.
01:07:26That was an ugly land.
