00:00Morgan!
00:01Oh, look at Liv. She's ready to wear that gold around her waist.
00:06And so is her partner, King.
00:27Rhea Ripley!
00:29And that could be the key to it, Byron.
00:32Rhea Ripley, former RAW Women's Champion.
00:34Former Tag Team Champion with Nikki A.S.H.
00:37She knows what it means to be champion.
00:40And you recall it to me, Rhea Ripley is the reason we're having this match here tonight.
00:44A couple weeks ago, a very disappointing loss.
00:46Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan suffered to the Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:49Rhea actually went to WWE officials and said,
00:52We want an opportunity. She was granted that opportunity.
00:55And now Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan could leave Monday Night RAW tonight
00:58as the new Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:04We know they have the physical ability. We know they have the strength.
01:07It's about the unity, the harmony. Tag Team Champions means tag team chemistry.
01:13Do they have it?
01:14Well, you're right. They've got to stay on the same page.
01:16Didn't work last time, but hopefully, better luck tonight.
01:21Remember that we were supposed to see this match last week.
01:24Unfortunately, Rhea Ripley not able to compete.
01:27So think about it. Ripley and Morgan have had another week to strategize and plan.
01:31Boom!
01:31For the challenge ahead.
01:33Remember, Rhea Ripley defeated Naomi last Friday on SmackDown.
01:37They've had some individual success.
01:39It's about bringing it together as a team.
01:41Quick tag.
01:42Liv Morgan in.
01:44And some teamwork already.
01:46After WrestleMania, Liv Morgan was very public about the faith that she had in this partnership with Rhea Ripley.
01:51What's this?
01:52Oh!
01:54Good cover already.
01:56Quick kick out from Sasha Banks.
01:58So far, so good.
01:59Morgan really, oh!
02:01Really believes this team could go far.
02:02And of course, obviously, you walk out and hear the Tag Team Champions.
02:05That's a major statement.
02:07Oh!
02:07Goodness.
02:09I don't see Naomi, who's now legal, and Sasha Banks.
02:12Giving up easily.
02:14They're proud champions.
02:15And they've shown great teamwork.
02:17Proud champions who know each other very well.
02:20Cover.
02:21Hook in the leg.
02:23Kick out.
02:24Kick out just in time from Liv Morgan.
02:26Relationship between Sasha Banks and Naomi going all the way back to 2015.
02:30Tag made.
02:31Sasha Banks now on the top rope looking to strike.
02:34A cross body to the cover.
02:37Oh!
02:38Nice kick out from Liv Morgan.
02:39Naomi knocking Rhea Ripley not just off the apron, but almost to our commentary table.
02:44They have to shot here by Naomi.
02:46And you're seeing the excellent tag team chemistry here of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
02:512-1-1!
02:52Oh!
02:53Why?
02:53Right into the ring post and down goes Liv Morgan.
02:57Morgan is hurt and now Banks and Naomi.
03:00Uh-oh.
03:01Ripley.
03:01Rhea Ripley has other plans.
03:03Look at the equalizer.
03:04The strength of Rhea Ripley.
03:06Using the boss as a weapon.
03:10Now tandem offense from the challengers.
03:13Rhea Ripley.
03:14All on to the barricade.
03:16All on to the barricade.
03:18Folding the tag team champions in half.
03:24Look at this.
03:26Now welcome back.
03:27WD Women's Tag Team Championship match.
03:29The champs, Sasha Banks and Naomi versus the challengers.
03:33Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan shoulders down.
03:35Smart move by Naomi.
03:37Rhea Ripley so far on a roll in this match.
03:39You gotta admit, Rhea Ripley is dominating this match.
03:43It goes back to the point made earlier as the tags made to Liv Morgan.
03:46Rhea Ripley has been there before.
03:47Rhea Ripley has been one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions.
03:50She understands the kind of effort you have to bring to this environment.
03:53And that could have led to the frustration with Liv Morgan.
03:57Whoa!
03:57Man!
03:58Little missed time there, but Liv Morgan still with the cover!
04:02That might be enough!
04:02Maybe she'd caught that...
04:03Whoa!
04:04Cover again!
04:05Perhaps she'd caught that move flush, Byron.
04:07Could have been over with.
04:08Well, it speaks to the fact that Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley are still building their chemistry
04:12as a tag team.
04:13I don't think...
04:14Oh!
04:14Cover!
04:15Shoulders down!
04:16Able to roll through for Liv Morgan.
04:19Now to your point, Byron, so popular.
04:21Fans absolutely love them, but they are a new team.
04:24They haven't quite figured out their chemistry completely yet.
04:27Oh, look out.
04:30Rhea just tagged herself in.
04:31Yes.
04:32And Naomi has no clue the tag was made.
04:34I don't know if the referee knew.
04:35Yes, the referee knew.
04:36Look out.
04:38Great job!
04:39Some teamwork!
04:41Oh!
04:41Beautiful powerbomb in comes Rhea Ripley.
04:44Might be ready to put this one away.
04:46Ripley!
04:47Ripley may be looking for another riptide!
04:48Sasha Banks are coming!
04:49Got it!
04:50We're gonna have new champions!
04:51Shoulders down when we see new champions!
04:53Oh!
04:55The boss just in time!
04:58Oh my gosh.
04:59I thought for sure we were gonna have new women's tag team champions.
05:03Liv Morgan was able to keep Sasha Banks out of the ring, but not long enough, Byron.
05:10Yeah, you see Sasha Banks desperately almost feeling like the tag team titles were slipping away at the last possible
05:17second.
05:17Oh!
05:18Breaking up the pinfall.
05:19Huge kick from Naomi.
05:21Momentum now on the side of the champs!
05:23Oh, look out!
05:23We've seen this before!
05:24Oh!
05:26Oh!
05:26That might be it!
05:29That might be it!
05:29Shoulders down!
05:30That's the extra team!
05:34Wow!
05:35And still the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Naomi and Sasha Banks!
05:44I didn't even see what happened to Liv!
05:46A bit better with the timing, a bit more accurate, a bit more in sync!
05:52A very game effort by Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.
05:55Nothing to be ashamed about, but women's tag team champions just a little bit better here tonight on RAW.
06:02We talked about the years of history, the communication, that was all on display tonight.
06:09Another frustrating loss for Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.
06:12But an ultra impressive victory for Sasha Banks and Naomi.
06:18Can't take anything away from the champs.
06:22Just a kick!
06:24Please let me give them another team.
06:29She's a king!
06:33It's time to ask Rube when she was.
06:36I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
06:41Oh!
06:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
06:48I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
06:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
06:52You failed this tag team!
06:53You failed! Where am I here?
06:55I need a drink! I've always been there when you have been done!
07:07Clearly upset somebody!
07:10Come on Rhea!
07:12No!
07:13Can't blame her even blame her for that!
07:16I get the frustration but come on!
07:18Attacking her tag team partner!
07:22There was her tag team partner when Rhea needed her!
07:25Completely losing control of herself!
07:29Not done yet!
07:31Oh no!
07:32Look out!
07:33Riptide at the expense of Liv Morgan!
07:36I can't believe this!
07:37Right on the back of the neck!
07:42I get disappointment but this!
07:46Wow!
07:47This is too far!
07:48Listen, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan have had a great effort!
07:51Had a great performance against women's tag team champions!
07:55But to respond like this for Rhea?
07:58Looks like Rhea just does not like losing!
08:01And who can blame her?
08:02She doesn't like losing that spoiled gold!
08:05But Rhea Ripley left all alone against the champs!
08:07Yeah, Liv Morgan was taken out by a backstabber from Sasha Banks!
08:10So to your point, Jimmy!
08:11Rhea Ripley forced to take on women's tag team champions all by herself!
08:15And this would not end well for Rhea Ripley!
08:18The Salsa Banks and Naomi would retain the women's tag team champions!
08:23And still the WWE!
08:24That's creating a frustrating moment for Ripley!
08:26I'm killing it!
08:28I'm killing it!
08:29I'm killing it!
08:30I'm killing it!
08:31I'm killing it!
08:33I'm killing it!
08:34I'm killing it!
08:36I'm killing it!
08:36And this was just, in my view, inexcusable!
08:39Rhea Ripley would take all her frustration out on her tag team partner, Liv Morgan!
08:45Well that's what it's all about!
08:46When you have a tag team partner, you expect them to be there when you need them!
08:50Liv Morgan was not there when she was needed!
09:05Excuse me Rhea, can you explain your attack on Liv Morgan?
09:09What entitles you, or anyone else, to an explanation?
09:16Well there you go!
