00:00The WWE Universe saw her grit, her determination, her heart, and that's matched by the brutality of her tag team
00:07partner.
00:08This is a tag team I have come to love in a hurry.
00:24And our tag team partner from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea!
00:30Rhea, Ripley!
00:33Catwoman and Donnie Darko.
00:35It's Batman. I think it's Batman's we're looking at.
00:38Batman doesn't have ears on top of his head, not that size.
00:41He does tonight at WrestleMania. I see it.
00:45We're talking about teams with tag team success experience.
00:48This is not one of them, but it is on one side.
00:51Rhea Ripley won the Raw tag team titles with Nikki A.S.H., someone you said, Corey, like competing with
00:58a rock around your neck.
00:59I use the term anchor more often than not.
01:01And you're right. Rhea Ripley was impressive as part of that tag team.
01:05Now Rhea certainly has better chemistry with Liv Morgan.
01:08The question is, is it enough chemistry to dethrone the champion?
01:12Well, it's an uphill battle, especially within the context of a fatal four-way tag team match.
01:20From Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Shayna Baszler!
01:28I don't know if there's another woman walking the earth who derives as much pleasure from the suffering of others
01:34as Shayna Baszler.
01:35Well, if there is one, I think it's her tag team partner.
01:38And her tag team partner from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natalya!
01:47Natalya has had great success throughout her career as a singles competitor, as a tag team member.
01:56But of all the teams in this matchup, these two had the least time together as a cohesive unit.
02:03You've got to wonder which one of these teams will walk out of here as the women's tag team champions
02:09and essentially change their career trajectory here in WWE.
02:19And after the most stupendous WrestleMania in history, it's the biggest RAW of the year.
02:25Watch the fallout live tomorrow night at 8 on USA.
02:29There's experience on the side of Natalya, a 14-year veteran here in WWE.
02:36And the police, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
02:42First, Queen Zelina!
02:49That's pomp and circumstance, an entrance befitting a queen at WrestleMania.
02:56Okay, calm yourself, Corey. I'm begging you.
03:00And her tag team partner, she is the most beautiful woman in all of WWE, Carmella!
03:13I'm not apologizing for anything, you two goofs.
03:17I am staring at the WrestleMania aisle in which my blushing bride-to-be is making an entrance like only
03:25she can.
03:26Let me tell you this.
03:28After this match is over, when the dust is settled and the smoke is cleared, there is going to be
03:33a celebration.
03:34The likes of which the world has never seen before, Zach, that you might have to hide your eyes.
03:41Wait a minute, I won't be anywhere near that celebration.
03:43I feel a little dirty. I feel a little dirty.
03:44Can you explain something to me, Corey?
03:44It's going to be dirty, Jimmy!
03:46Is Carmella wearing part of her wedding dress?
03:48Did you pick this out? Did you pick this out?
03:51Absolutely not! This was custom made with blessings from the material girl herself as an homage to Madonna, you uncultured
03:58fools!
04:00I don't need for name calling.
04:01Sure there is!
04:03Alright, she can't get ahead of herself and start thinking about honeymoons now.
04:06She has to worry about defending the tag team titles.
04:10Against three other teams, mind you.
04:14And that is what's on the line if you have forgotten, Corey, the Women's Tag Team Championship.
04:20I haven't forgotten the damn thing, Jimmy! I'm just excited!
04:24But you do realize the odds that the Women's Tag Team Champions do face, Corey.
04:29Paxton, I don't listen to anything you have to say.
04:31You're the type of dude who went to the prom with your sister, okay?
04:33That doesn't make it okay to insult. True love. True love.
04:37And in a matter of about 72 hours, it's going to be efficient.
04:42Okay, Byron, a fatal four-way. It does not favor the champions. Let us know why.
04:48Well again, the champions don't have to be pinned, don't have to be submitted to lose.
04:53The Women's Tag Team titles, which means...
04:56Good luck, baby!
04:57Get flushed, baby.
05:01Well, you know, things don't work out tonight.
05:03Maybe Carmella can be a host on Scare Island or something with that mask.
05:08You know what, Saxton, I'm in such a good mood.
05:10Carmella just got tagged in by Queen Zelina against Rhea Ripley.
05:14It's going to be a quick night.
05:16For the Women's Tag Team champs?
05:18No, Carmella's just in there. Oh, look at that.
05:21See, I don't know about this.
05:23Mind games?
05:24Corey, you do realize if Rhea Ripley, for instance, pins Sasha Banks,
05:28then Carmella and Queen Zelina lose Women's Tag Team titles.
05:31Trust me, Saxton.
05:33It's all part of the plan.
05:34But right now, Rhea Ripley, a force to be reckoned with against the blueprint.
05:40The Boss, Sasha Banks.
05:43Interesting clash of styles here.
05:45Willing to engage in a test of strength with Rhea Ripley.
05:49That's guts, but...
05:51Oh! Shoulders down early.
05:52Not a wise choice by the Boss.
05:55Trying to cover it.
05:57Beautiful bridge by Sasha Banks.
06:00And these are the kind of techniques that will be the equalizer.
06:04Banks wants the Banks statement, but Ripley just too strong.
06:07Rip tied already. Beautiful escape.
06:11Just shrugged off a backstabber.
06:15Looks like Sasha Banks is taking a back a little.
06:18But a smart strategy, not trying to go toe-to-toe with the power.
06:21Moving, angling, being diverse with her offense.
06:24I don't think Sasha Banks has executed her strategy particularly well to this point.
06:28Obviously, the Boss can re-strategize, but I think Sasha just realized the type of power she's dealing with with
06:34Rhea Ripley.
06:34What?
06:35Morgan, the legal competitor.
06:37He tagged in, but look at the tag team champs going after Rhea Ripley.
06:40This is all perfectly legal.
06:42Unfortunately, you are right, Corey.
06:44Yeah, no count-out, no disqualification.
06:46In the meantime, Sasha Banks...
06:48Oh!
06:49Banks propelling herself to the outside.
06:53At least temporarily, the women's tag team champions have been taken out of the equation.
06:58Looks like right now, one-on-one, Liv Morgan and Sasha Banks.
07:02Ripley also down as well.
07:04Baby, baby, get up.
07:06Oh, roll up, shoulders down for Sasha Banks.
07:08Quick kick-out, though.
07:10Drop toe-hold by the Boss.
07:14Sasha Banks, swearing up now, roll through.
07:17Oh, shoulders down.
07:19Another quick escape by Liv Morgan.
07:20Couldn't get that right shoulder down all the way.
07:25Morgan, one step quicker.
07:27Oh!
07:27Double knees to the jaw of the Boss.
07:31This is a massive opportunity for both of these women.
07:34Sasha Banks, despite her already legendary career,
07:38hasn't exactly had much success here at WrestleMania.
07:40Oh!
07:41Oblivion off the ropes, that might be it.
07:43The tag was made to Natalya.
07:45Not legal anymore.
07:46You gotta keep track of the tags.
07:48Very, very difficult to do.
07:49Classic Natalya offense, driving Morgan face first, and a boot for good measure.
07:55Oh!
07:56Damage!
07:57That'll rock your jaw.
08:00They can cover.
08:01Oh, look at this.
08:02Oh, you don't want any champs, huh?
08:03You don't want part of saying to Baszler?
08:05He's terrible.
08:06I'm watching you.
08:06I'm watching you, Joe.
08:08I'm watching you.
08:08I'm watching you.
08:18I'm watching you.
08:19The game going after the joints.
08:21Oh!
08:23Oh!
08:23That might have snapped Morgan's ankle.
08:25And right after it.
08:27With Morgan in a ton of pain.
08:30This is the sick, twisted enjoyment we've talked about when it comes to Shayna Baszler.
08:35Well, Shayna Baszler knows what it takes and what it means to be WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.
08:40Straight footlock.
08:42Baszler wants to be at the top of the tag team division once again.
08:45And just mangling the leg of a fallen Liv Morgan.
08:51Not just the knee, but the ankle as well.
08:54Help the screams of Liv Morgan as she's being tortured by Shayna Baszler.
08:59And I'm extremely excited to report that Carmella has regained a vertical base.
09:02She and Queen Zelina back on their feet on the apron.
09:05Oh, well, I feel better now.
09:06Oh!
09:07Beautiful step up in Seguri.
09:09And look at the guts and the bravery of my beloved.
09:13Well, time she shows up.
09:18Carmella accidentally tagged in by Shayna Baszler.
09:21Only Shayna Baszler was aware of it.
09:23Carmella tagged herself in of her own volition.
09:26It's not Carmella's fault Shayna wasn't paying attention.
09:28Yeah, it's citing Leah Ripley.
09:30Not a wise move.
09:33Of course, the tag team champions, Queen Zelina and Carmella,
09:38have had their issues.
09:38It seems as though they've ironed them out in the last couple weeks.
09:41It seems, Jimmy.
09:42It appears.
09:43But not necessarily fat.
09:45They're working together well now.
09:48Queen Zelina with the adoration of the crowd.
09:50Not quite getting it.
09:52Queen Zelina looking for it.
09:53There it is!
09:54Code Red!
09:56Well, just in time is Rhea Ripley.
09:59Easily.
10:00Rhea Ripley hoisted up Queen Zelina.
10:02Just dumping her off the top rope.
10:05Here comes Natalya.
10:06Back into the mix.
10:07Down goes Carmella.
10:09Here comes Naomi.
10:10Rear view!
10:11Oh ho ho!
10:12Shayna Baszler in the mix now.
10:13Oh my gosh!
10:15Right on the air.
10:16Look out from behind!
10:18Backstabber!
10:19Rhea breaking down now.
10:21Rhea Ripley purses up top.
10:22Carmella wiping out Sasha Banks.
10:25Carmella just in time to catch Rhea.
10:28Change of plans.
10:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:30Staking her to Kinrana, but now...
10:31Rhea, please!
10:32Tower of Rhea Ripley!
10:33Rhea, be nice!
10:34Push!
10:35Kinrana from Carmella!
10:37Spectacular!
10:38I admit that was impressive.
10:39Tag made by Naomi.
10:42Oh my God!
10:43Queen Zelina taking out Ripley on the outside.
10:45Naomi tagged herself in.
10:47Yeah, and already heard Rhea Ripley.
10:49She might be out of action for a while.
10:50Sasha now the legal competitor for her team.
10:52Animal offense on the horizon here with Banks and...
10:55Oh!
10:55Naomi!
10:57The teamwork we've seen for the last few weeks from Naomi and Sasha Banks.
11:01Now the tag in!
11:01It's been very, very impressive.
11:03Quick tags in and out.
11:04Always looking to keep the fresher competitor as the legal one.
11:08What is gonna happen now?
11:10Oh!
11:11About to see some high-flying tandem offense, but no!
11:14What about that?
11:14Now watch Shayna Baszler, Queen Zelina on the right.
11:16You got Carmella on the left-hand side of your screen.
11:18Joined now by Natalya!
11:20No.
11:21Oh, no.
11:22Oh, no is right.
11:23What the hell is this?
11:24Rhea Ripley fighting wrong corner.
11:26Liv Morgan.
11:26This is not going to end.
11:28Please no!
11:29Times two!
11:31Yes!
11:34Oh my God!
11:36Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley eliminating the competition on either side of the ring!
11:42Everybody's down.
11:44The playing field is leveled as we look once again at the double impacts.
11:50Two collapsing towers on opposing sides of the ring.
11:55What about who can recover in time now?
11:57It's anyone's game right now.
12:00Can anyone recover?
12:03All we need now is a cover from someone, but...
12:07This is what WrestleMania is all about.
12:09You leave it all in the ring.
12:11On the grandest stage of them all.
12:14Liv Morgan inching toward victory.
12:16Looking for the cover.
12:17He's got a pass by Naomi!
12:19Kick out just in time for Liv Morgan.
12:21Now Rhea Ripley legal.
12:24A little bit of teamwork here.
12:27Right into Rhea Ripley.
12:29Might have turned out the glow for good.
12:31Ripley looking for the riptide.
12:33No!
12:34Riptide, but right into the knees of Liv Morgan!
12:37Cover, cover!
12:37It's gonna be it!
12:38Oh no!
12:39No!
12:40Sasha Banks from the outside!
12:42I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks Sasha for keeping this one alive for the champions.
12:46Yeah, but for how long?
12:49Natalya's...
12:49Oh!
12:51Shoulder first goes Rhea Ripley.
12:53Tag made by Shayna Baszler.
12:55Rhea Ripley has taken some huge shots throughout this match.
12:59Tremendous tag team offense from Baszler and Natalya.
13:01Cover, shoulders down!
13:03Oh!
13:04And Morgan, from seemingly out of nowhere.
13:08Instead of a passionate fighting spirit from Liv Morgan.
13:11Beautiful leg kick.
13:12Took out the balance of Liv Morgan.
13:13Now sending her face down!
13:15And again Natalya, as the tag is made.
13:17Natalya and Shayna Baszler back in control here.
13:20Having Naomi isolated.
13:22We'd be setting up for a heart attack.
13:24Isolated and elevated!
13:26The tag is made to Carmella!
13:29The Queen's Alina!
13:31Taking the legs out of Natalya at the last second!
13:35Oh, but a beautiful, beautiful super kick!
13:38The most beautiful super kick in all of WWE, Jimmy!
13:43Countered by Naomi!
13:44Nice switch to the roll of one!
13:46Uh-oh!
13:46Two!
13:46Kick out just in time into the knee of Queen's Alina!
13:50Beautiful reversal!
13:51Oh!
13:51Oh!
13:52Jeez!
13:52That's gonna do it!
13:53To the cover!
13:54Yes!
13:54Get the champagne ready!
13:56No!
13:58Hold off on the champagne, Corey!
14:00This match continues!
14:01A millisecond from retaining!
14:04Try it again, baby!
14:05Cover again!
14:06This time a quicker kick!
14:07One more time!
14:09There we go!
14:11Coaching from his seat is Corey Graves.
14:13Now Carmella, of course, wearing that mask to protect her beautiful face, as he calls it.
14:17But behind that mask is a lot of frustration!
14:20It is beautiful, Saxton!
14:21It is beautiful, Saxton!
14:24You know, it's gotta be asking herself, what else do I have to do?
14:27Oh!
14:28Oh!
14:30Kick to the ear now!
14:31Sasha Banks is legal!
14:33This does not look good for Carmella!
14:35Lying high!
14:36Oh!
14:37Big splash on Carmella!
14:38One!
14:39Two!
14:40Oh!
14:41So close to new Women's Tag Team Champions!
14:45Bang Statement!
14:46Oh yes!
14:47Bang Statement!
14:48The Queen Zelina's got the foot of Carmella!
14:51A bit of a tug of war going!
14:52Keeping her just out of the bank statement!
14:56I'm eternally grateful for Queen Zelina!
14:59Her Majesty saving the day!
15:01Oh yeah!
15:01Not for long!
15:03Finiora!
15:03Oh my gosh!
15:05We didn't know if the Tag Team Champions would have the right teamwork at WrestleMania!
15:08So far, they're working well together!
15:12Banks bulldozing Carmella into the ropes!
15:14Oh!
15:15What a kick to Carmella!
15:17Naomi legal!
15:18Tag made!
15:19Sasha Banks is legal!
15:20Quick tags in and out by Sasha Banks and Naomi!
15:25Whoa!
15:26Oh no!
15:26Not the face!
15:27A cover of Carmella!
15:29Looks like his shoulders are down!
15:31Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:33Oh!
15:36Oh!
15:45Oh!
16:01Oh!

16:11Nasty kick delivered by Naomi!
16:13This will be the beginning of the end, Sasha Banks the legal competitor!

16:32Corey, I know it hurts.
16:34It'll be okay, man.
16:36It'll be okay.
16:37But maybe it won't.
16:41Depeat on the face of Carmella,
16:43but we have new tag team champions,
16:46Naomi and Sasha Banks.
16:47Get your replica titles for the wedding.
