00:01Focus, Jey Uso.
00:03Well, ladies and gentlemen, still to come tonight is our main event coming up in a matter of moment.
00:08Check out the tale of the tape for the champ Rhea Ripley and the challenger, EO Sky.
00:14EO, of course, a former two-time Women's Champion.
00:19Rhea Ripley, the current champion.
00:30Instead of crying, they hear me roar.
00:33And now I see that I'm way better than before.
00:36I never needed you at all.
00:37Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:44...Beejanka Belair!
00:47Well, Pat, she lasted 25 minutes inside Elimination Chamber to win the event.
00:52This past Saturday night, despite all the emotion that's going through her mind
00:57after she watched Jade Cargill attack Naomi.
01:01Still haven't gotten down to the bottom of all that.
01:03But up next, Bianca Belair will find out who she will face for the Women's World Title at WrestleMania.
01:09Will it be Rhea Ripley?
01:10Will it be EO Sky?
01:11We'll find out live next.
01:14Thanks for joining us, Elimination Chamber Camp.
01:24EO Sky, the number one contender for the Women's World Championship.
01:29A spot at WrestleMania on the line.
01:35Rhea Ripley inadvertently cost EO Sky an opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
01:41Led to this matchup tonight.
01:45Will face Bianca Belair at WrestleMania.
01:49Holy hell.
01:51What a night.
01:54It could be for EO Sky.
01:57She defended the WWE Women's title at WrestleMania last year.
02:02This is my military, you know.
02:26You know, for much of her career, Pat, Rhea Ripley has been nearly unstoppable.
02:32She may have a problem tonight.
02:35Io Sky is undefeated versus Rhea Ripley in non-tag team matches.
02:44So perhaps Io has Rhea's number.
02:47Does that weigh on your mind as an athlete?
02:50Absolutely.
02:51Every once in a while you run into somebody who just knows you, knows how to beat you.
02:54Maybe what they're great at is what may be something you're not the best at.
02:59Some of your flaws are there.
03:02Perfect.
03:04Tribute.
03:05I mean, what a match.
03:06What a moment.
03:08If Io Sky can continue this undefeated streak against Rhea in front of this crowd on this night on Netflix
03:15with a WrestleMania trip on the line.
03:20Biggest night of her career.
03:21Yeah, this is high pressure tonight, high stakes for an opportunity to defend the world title on the grandest stage
03:28of them all.
03:2947 nights away in Las Vegas at WrestleMania.
03:38Rhea's got a mentality of somebody that I would never want to have to fight.
03:46This is my brutality.
03:49Real Sky, a superstar for World Oval before taking WWE by Storms.
04:06Look at that.
04:07Do you ever want to fight that?
04:09Not at all.
04:10Let's head up to the great Alicia Taylor.
04:14The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Women's World Championship.
04:30Introducing first the challenger from Tokyo, Japan.
04:38Representing Damage Control, Io Sky.
04:52And her opponent from Adelaide, South Australia.
05:04She is the Women's World Champion.
05:17Rhea Ripley.
05:22What an ovation from the sellout crowd tonight of number 13,000 in Buffalo.
05:28Io Sky.
05:30When talking about this matchup tonight, said no matter where you're born, no matter how small you are, you can
05:38make your dreams come true.
05:39If you put in the effort, if you believe in yourself, you can make the impossible possible.
05:46Io Sky says, tonight is my road to WrestleMania.
05:49But, Pat, there is a major roadblock in her way known as Rhea Bloody Ripley.
05:56And we are underway for the Women's World title and a spot at WrestleMania.
06:06Lock up center of the ring by Io and Rhea Ripley.
06:10How does Io win the title from the Eradicator tonight, Pat?
06:13He's the genius of the Sky.
06:14She's gonna want to keep this high flying.
06:16Rhea Ripley has the power advantage by far.
06:19Rhea's gonna want to keep this slow and pummeling.
06:22Io's gonna want to pick up the speed.
06:26Big shoulder tackle by Rhea Ripley establishing dominance early.
06:30Nice placement drop kick to Io.
06:32Rhea wants to win this one quickly.
06:33Hook of the leg on Sky and a kick out.
06:36Maybe weighing on Rhea's mind that she's not been able to get the job done against Io Sky in the
06:41recent encounters.
06:42At some point today, Rhea thought about the fact that she's never been able to beat Io.
06:47Crossed her mind.
06:48Will it beat her mentally?
06:49I don't know.
06:50A kick out by Io for the championship and a kick out by Ripley.
06:53Big right.
06:56The power that Rhea has and the explosivity, if you will, is just, makes her an anomaly.
07:03Io Sky, nice takedown again.
07:05Told her down, kick out by Ripley.
07:07Io trying to keep Rhea Ripley off balance here.
07:09They're doing a good job of it early on.
07:11Went for the Hurricanrana.
07:13Rhea, though, dropping Io on her head as she powered through.
07:16Wow, able to regain her strength and balance.
07:20Indeed, and now Rhea's showing off some power.
07:25Io, though, nice roll through for the championship.
07:27Couldn't steal one here.
07:28Kick out at two.
07:31And a kick by Sky.
07:33Okay, Io Sky picking up the pace a little bit here on Rhea.
07:36Yeah, as Rhea bit out of sorts in the early going of this matchup.
07:41Io is the WWE Champion for nearly 250 days last year.
07:47Both these women's women are NXT Women's Champion as well.
07:53Io Sky.
07:54Io Ripley comes out of harm's way.
07:57Now tying Io up, or at least tying to in the apron, I believe.
08:00Even now, Rhea just looking over, power Io.
08:03This is Rhea Ripley.
08:05And slinging Io into the apron, face first and the other side.
08:10Baseball batting Io off of the ring as she deadlifts her from the swing.
08:16Power Io suplex.
08:20Ripley has taken over.
08:21The women's world title is on the line as Bianca looks on.
08:30Rhea just delivered a massive missile drop kick.
08:33Draft Io back to the center of the ring.
08:35Cover to retain the championship and a kick out.
08:39There's seconds to go.
08:42Rhea Ripley takes it to top rope with a double missile drop kick.
08:46This is for the championship.
08:48This is for a spot at WrestleMania against Bianca Belair.
08:52Yeah, Bianca went to the chamber Saturday night.
08:54She waits to see who she will face at WrestleMania.
08:58Two former world champs going at it.
09:00Of course, Rhea the current champ.
09:01Io Sky hanging on top rope.
09:04Standing switch, waist lock by Sky.
09:07Rhea misses with the elbow.
09:09And Io now with a code breaker.
09:14To the back of Ripley.
09:17Both women are down.
09:18They've absorbed a ton of punishment here.
09:20We were noticing moments ago, the Rhea favoring her left arm wrist area.
09:27Could be anything from a broken finger to a broken wrist for Rhea Ripley.
09:31Maybe even a strain or sprain.
09:34Io Sky has done some damage.
09:36Looking to do more.
09:37Io trying to pick up the pace now, nice drop kick.
09:39Rhea goes down.
09:41Sky needs to quicken things here.
09:43To have an opportunity to knock off Ripley.
09:45Reversal, Sky into the corner.
09:47Great balance out to the apron.
09:49Locks Rhea's right, hits her with a forearm of her own.
09:52And Io now, the genius of the Sky, up to the top rope.
09:57What a drop kick by Io.
10:03Flip off, kick off, Io Sky rolling on Raw.
10:07And she's starting to feel it now.
10:09Sky's starting to believe she may have a chance.
10:13For the bullet train attack.
10:16Rhea moved out of harm's way, kicked out of the midsection, stomp on the foot.
10:22Rhea with that unique offense, clothesline, down goes Sky.
10:26And another one.
10:31And Rhea Ripley, starting to take over.
10:42Rhea's been able to do that a couple of different times.
10:44We think Rhea's about to end it in seven.
10:46Cover now by Io Sky to try to win the world title and a kick out at two.
10:50He has quickness that we chatted about from the beginning here.
10:54Really catching Rhea off guard during this time.
10:57I almost had a new women's world champion.
11:03Both women down.
11:07Getting late in the fight, he wants it.
11:09Yeah, it's about a spot at WrestleMania.
11:11Sold out tonight at Buffalo, 13,602 on hand.
11:15We are well on the road to WrestleMania.
11:19Rhea, Io for the women's world title.
11:25Referee Jessica Carr looking onto this match.
11:34Io holding her own in a slugfest with Ripley.
11:37A little toughness check here in the middle of the ring.
11:39Both women still standing.
11:44Io looking to wrestle Rhea to the floor.
11:46Again, working on the bad arm of Ripley.
11:51Rhea looking to power out of it.
11:56And that arm giving her problems with that.
11:58Io able to use momentum for the same move.
12:01Counter by Ripley.
12:04Io up and down.
12:06Cover by Rhea, she retained to head to WrestleMania.
12:09Io at two.
12:10There's nothing fancy, just all out brute strength from Rhea Ripley.
12:14Let me catch you mid move, and then I'm gonna dump you on your face.
12:20Rhea, I think it's starting to set in that she just can't put Io away.
12:23She's tried just about everything.
12:27She's in a fight for the world championship.
12:31Very determined to Io Sky.
12:34Very impressive, Rhea Ripley.
12:36Looking for the prison block now, submission move.
12:38But Io Sky able to counter and send Rhea out to the apron.
12:42Rhea lost a balance there, Io Sky.
12:49Very even matchup so far.
12:52Ripley with Io on the apron.
12:54Look at the power now, Rhea Ripley, Io in trouble.
12:58Yeah.
12:59And, goodness.
13:02And again, Rhea Ripley in deep trouble as Sky continues to focus on the arm.
13:07The left arm is getting beat up by Rhea.
13:11On Rhea, sorry, by Io.
13:15Just great championship strategy and scouting here by Io Sky.
13:21She had a plan, she's executing it.
13:24She can see gold.
13:25Come off the top rope, lands on her feet, Rhea.
13:28Goodness, turned Io inside out.
13:30That could be a cover to retain, somehow Io stayed in it.
13:37Sputter around, watch this, Pat.
13:40I mean, this boot might have collapsed along, turned Io Sky inside, out.
13:48And upside down, it almost ended this thing.
13:53Matchup continues, Ripley Sky for the women's world title.
13:58Yes.
13:59Does that survival instinct of Io.
14:02On this road to WrestleMania.
14:04Looking for Riptide, and to put Io Sky away.
14:08Punch her ticket to Las Vegas.
14:10Io caught him with a DDT.
14:12Great move by Sky, who now has an opportunity.
14:16Spiked Rhea Ripley.
14:21Cranium to Rhea.
14:22Io measuring Rhea into the corner, the champ goes down.
14:27Genius to the Sky, gonna climb up high.
14:30He's calling for a big elbow.
14:32Well, you saw that corner kick, shades of Dakota Kai from damage control.
14:36And this is shades of Kairi Sane of damage control.
14:40With the insane elbow.
14:41Cover.
14:42Hook of the leg by Io.
14:44Kick out by Ripley.
14:48Io.
14:49And now look at this, look at this.
14:50Oscar Locke.
14:51Oscar Locke locked in on Ripley, the submission maneuver.
14:55Io paid tribute to her damage control cohorts.
14:58And can she put Ripley away with the Oscar Locke?
15:04Ripley is struggling.
15:07You see that the fear in her eyes.
15:09She could be losing her grip on the championship.
15:12Gotta try to power her way out of this.
15:17Look at Rhea somehow getting to her feet.
15:21Rhea to her feet.
15:23Sky driven into the corner.
15:26But still, hanging on.
15:28Rhea dumped in the corner.
15:30Io Sky has her where she wants her.
15:32Io's lucky to survive that.
15:34Bullet train attack.
15:39And Io said, that's it.
15:43It's time to head.
15:45Went to the top rope, Ripley back to her feet.
15:49And as Io is going to the moonsault, Ripley countered.
15:52And the matchup continues.
15:59Rhea Ripley.
16:02Rhea now top rope as Io Sky under control.
16:06Goodness, dropping her right on the back of her neck for the championship to retain.
16:12To go to WrestleMania.
16:13Sky somehow kicked out.
16:15How, how, how did she kick out?
16:20Angle slam from the top rope.
16:24Io Sky get dropped on her head from ten feet up.
16:29And now Ripley frustrated, questioning herself, what does she have to do to put Io away?
16:35It's WrestleMania season, folks.
16:39And now Ripley looking for the prison lock again.
16:42The submission move on Io Sky.
16:44Center of the ring.
16:44Ripley wants to put her away.
16:46Trying to drag her back toward the center of the ring.
16:49Io fighting though.
16:50Io fighting with everything she has.
16:52Needs to make it to a bottom rope.
16:55Almost there, fingertips away.
16:58Great counter as Ripley goes shoulder first to the post.
17:03Yeah.
17:05Flipped by Io Sky.
17:07A desperation play from Io that might be your greatest move of the night.
17:12Yeah, because she may have been close to tapping out to the prison lock.
17:15How could you not be?
17:17Not sure how deep that thing was locked in by Rhea Ripley.
17:21Io Sky.
17:23Io looking for a sunset for Powerbomb, driving Rhea into the barricade.
17:32Io has an opportunity.
17:36Io gonna go up top.
17:39Io Sky from the top rope, over the moonsault to Ripley.
17:44Cover by Sky.
17:46One, two, three.
17:48And Rhea got her foot on the bottom rope.
17:52The acapella air into this matchup as well.
17:55She'll face one of these two women at WrestleMania.
17:58Over the moonsault connected.
17:59But Rhea just too close to the bottom rope pack.
18:03I think Rhea stayed on her stomach to defend herself against the moonsault.
18:07I think she was thinking one move ahead.
18:10And then she was able to get close enough to the rope.
18:13Championship instinct.
18:14And now out to the apron.
18:20That's what it's all about right there.
18:22The Women's World Championship title on display.
18:25Bianca Belair front row.
18:27Who will she face at WrestleMania?
18:30And Io Sky with a cross body, taking out the champion.
18:38Io's not done yet.
18:40Sky now pulling out all the stops.
18:42Rhea Ripley intercepts.
18:47Io face first off the apron.
18:50And right on Rana's table.
18:51Io hit hard.
18:53Both women are down.
18:55What a move by Rhea Ripley.
19:02Face meet table.
19:04And the official now gonna start to count.
19:09Remember if there is a count out here, Rhea will remain our champion.
19:13Yes, she'll retain the title in a count out situation.
19:18Jessica Carr now on a count of four.
19:19Rhea trying to drag herself back into the ring.
19:23She's able to break the count for herself, but Io Sky.
19:27Well, Bianca saying, come on, Io get back in the ring.
19:29She wants to see this matchup continue.
19:31She doesn't want to see it end in a count out.
19:34We all did.
19:35Count of eight now.
19:35Count of eight, Io back to her feet.
19:37She'll beat the count barely.
19:38Rhea can't believe it.
19:39Rhea with a look of disbelief on her face that Io beat the count.
19:44That was close for Io Sky.
19:46I don't know how she got in there after getting slingshotted into her.
19:50And Rhea looking right down at Bianca Belair here at ringside.
19:57What was that?
19:58You don't want to face it in a minute, huh?
20:00Are you scared?
20:03Are you scared?
20:04Are you scared?
20:05Oh, Rhea got upset because Bianca was cheering for Io Sky.
20:12And Bianca's had enough.
20:13And Bianca getting involved in this now.
20:15Driving Rhea into the apron.
20:21Now the official Jessica Park are going to try to separate these two.
20:25Not right now.
20:27Go.
20:28Jessica Park.
20:29And again, great work out of Jessica Park.
20:32Let this fight continue.
20:35Again, Rhea was upset.
20:37Bianca was cheering for Io.
20:38She came out here and said, what, you don't want to face me at WrestleMania?
20:41Why are you cheering for Io?
20:43That things broke down.
20:44She's going to pay for it.
20:46She's going to pay for what she wants to do.
20:51I'm just going to watch.
20:54I'm just going to watch.
20:57Come on, baby.
20:59This is Johnson.
21:01Now Rhea dragging Io up.
21:06Uh-oh.
21:10Io up, mania, Bianca.
21:13Rhea looking for a rip tie from way up top.
21:16Io Sky counter into a Hurricanrata.
21:19I thought she was going to call it a shot like Babe Ruth.
21:23Io Sky top rope.
21:25Over to the middle zone, connects.
21:26Sky, cover, hooks the leg.
21:29Io Sky is the world champion.
21:32Io's going to WrestleMania.
21:34Here is your winner, the new women's world champion, Io Sky.
21:49What a shocker.
21:52Io Sky will defend the women's world title against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania.
22:03Quite the rivalry between those two will be renewed.
22:06But Pat, Rhea got caught up with Bianca Belair and it cost her.
22:14She got distracted, she got cocky, and Io Sky capitalized.
22:22Io Sky pointed at the WrestleMania sign because she is indeed going to WrestleMania.
22:31What a night for Io Sky.
22:36This is where it all started breaking down.
22:38The battle outside the ring.
22:40And now Rhea got upset because Bianca was actually cheering for Io.
22:45She was trying to motivate her to get back in the ring.
22:49To finish the fight, and Rhea Ripley took it personally.
22:53And you can't blame Bianca for retaliating the way she did after Rhea
22:58wrapped her up.
22:59And then watch this, and listen to what Rhea says.
23:03She was going to the riptide, and that little distraction right there cost her.
23:08The hurricanrana by Io Sky that packed over the moonsault.
23:13And over the moonsault that would send Io Sky over the moon to wrestle Maria.
23:23The sky is the limit for Io.
23:27She defends the Women's World Championship 47 nights away.
23:42Versus Bianca Belair at WrestleMania.
23:51A distraught, a disappointed, a frustrated Rhea Ripley.
23:56But she got caught up in her emotions, and it cost her tonight.
24:10Second straight year, Pat, Io's gonna be defending the championship at WrestleMania.
24:15Congratulations to Io Sky.
