00:00Who clearly calls the shots for the Warriors.
00:02Ask Io what that's all about.
00:04My Japanese is worse than yours.
00:06Oscar and Bayley will start things off in this critical tag team matchup here tonight.
00:12And this is an important matchup for Bayley because coming off of her disappointing loss.
00:16Oh, look at Kairi Sane causing the distraction, paying dividends.
00:19You're calling Kairi an anchor.
00:21I was at least hoping for a pirate-themed follow-up, but it was right there.
00:24Instead, you're trying to sow seeds of dissension as you've done all night.
00:29Bayley sent across the ring.
00:31But as I was saying, this is an important matchup for Bayley because last week,
00:35she took AJ Lee to the limit in her Intercontinental Championship match.
00:39But ultimately, the role model couldn't get the job done.
00:41Does she continue to slide down the mountain, or does she rally tonight?
00:45Well, at some point, Corey, all these situations have got to get in your head, right?
00:50No doubt about it.
00:50And Bayley's been very open.
00:52It's mentally messing with her.
00:54Sliding clothesline by Bayley into the cover and a kickout.
00:58And it's a sad state of affairs when you've got one of the most decorated women
01:01on the roster.
01:02Bayley, the first female Grand Slam champion we ever had in WWE.
01:05To be experiencing this level of self-doubt this close to WrestleMania season again,
01:10I mean, that could be catastrophic for Bayley's career.
01:12Especially after what happened last year.
01:15Lyra Valkyria now.
01:17Oh, and Kairi Sane caught her.
01:20Lyra might owe Kairi a couple bucks after that one.
01:23My God.
01:23And here comes Kairi Sane.
01:29Double team on Bayley.
01:33Oh, getting right to the spine.
01:37Nice blow-throw by Asuka.
01:39Sliding drop kick from Kairi Sane.
01:41And the Kabuki Warriors have taken over.
01:4913,340 WWE fans on hand here tonight in Boston.
01:54Bayley, Lyra Valkyria against the Kabuki Warriors in tag team action.
01:58And Kairi not allowing Bayley to make a tag.
02:00The last possible second stopping the forward progress of the role model.
02:05Kairi kicked toward Asuka.
02:07You see, that's what I'm talking about.
02:09Asuka intimidating her own partner.
02:11Tag made by Lyra.
02:12And because of that intimidation and that distraction,
02:15it allowed Lyra to make the tag.
02:16Crossbody from the top rope.
02:20Big enziguri by Lyra.
02:23Clothesline from Valkyria.
02:27Talked a lot earlier about how Lyra feels this responsibility
02:31to help Bayley make her way back to WrestleMania.
02:35Lyra needs to worry about her own road to WrestleMania.
02:37Muscling up.
02:38Sane!
02:39Oh, stood out.
02:39Holy cow!
02:41And a kick out by Kairi at two and a half.
02:45Lyra, the first ever Intercontinental Champion.
02:47So impressive.
02:49Look at the power from Valkyria.
02:51The way she whipped Kairi's body down to the canvas.
02:55Very, very effective.
02:56Unfortunately for Lyra, couldn't finish the job just yet.
02:59Of course, the current tag team champions,
03:01Nia Jax, Lash Legend, the Irresistible Forces,
03:04everyone gunning for him.
03:08And Lyra Valkyria now vertical suplex to Kairi Sane, able to watch things.
03:15Oh, great counter by Kairi.
03:19Sane now with a bit of daylight, what will she do with it?
03:22Can she make the tag to Asuka?
03:25Asuka pulls herself back up to the apron.
03:28I think, tag.
03:30There we go, Asuka was waiting for the proper moment.
03:34Code breaker into a neck breaker.
03:37The Kabuki Warriors roll and cover by Asuka.
03:40And a kick out by Valkyria.
03:44Man, Asuka and Kairi worked so well together.
03:48Three times they held the tag team titles together.
03:54Lyra lands on her feet.
03:56And that spinning heel kick caught Asuka in the face.
04:00Now, Bayley back up and makes the tag.
04:04Very effective teamwork by Lyra and Bayley.
04:08Fisherman buster.
04:10Bayley, elbow from the second rope.
04:15And another near fall.
04:17And Bayley looks like she's becoming a bit frustrated here.
04:21You can see Bayley glance up at the WrestleMania sign,
04:24realizing her chance may be slipping through her fingers.
04:28Tag made it out.
04:29Whoa, whoa.
04:30Released German suplex from Asuka.
04:33Asuka now desperately needs to tag Sane.
04:35Lyra though is the legal person.
04:37And Asuka with a kick.
04:40Stunning Lyra.
04:43The Empress.
04:45Tag made, Kairi's legal.
04:47Lyra trapped in the tree of woe.
04:49Kairi Sane making the climb.
04:53And Kairi.
04:54Oh!
04:55A stomp.
04:55Shiver me timbers, Cole.
04:57Double stomp to the heart.
04:59Cover.
04:59Hook of the leg.
05:01And Bayley breaking things up.
05:04Asuka now back into the fray.
05:07Goodbye, Bayley.
05:13Strange.
05:14Asuka now.
05:16Bringing the fight to the roll line.
05:17And Bayley with a belly to belly onto our announce table.
05:21You okay?
05:23Yeah, just a flying monitor.
05:24I think my insurance won't cover.
05:26Now, Bayley from the barricade points to the WrestleMania sign.
05:32Nobody home.
05:33Delivers an elbow on the announce table.
05:35Bayley went for broke and it did not pay off.
05:39Valkyria with a drop kick to Kairi.
05:41And Lyra now with Kairi sent back into the ring.
05:46Valkyria back in.
05:48Sending up Kairi Sane.
05:50Nightwing.
05:51Cover.
05:54Bayley.
05:55Asuka.
05:57And now Lyra Valkyria with a win.
06:00The team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
06:07Bayley and Asuka were getting added out here at ringside.
06:09And meanwhile, Lyra Valkyria would pick up the win with Nightwing in the middle of the ring.
06:14And Bayley and Lyra rolling.
06:16No doubt about it.
06:17A disappointing outcome for the Kabuki Warriors.
06:19But kudos to Lyra Valkyria.
06:22Here you see Bayley stepping up her aggression.
06:25Which is what it's gonna take if she wants to head to Vegas.
06:28Unfortunately, tonight for the role model, it did not pay off.
06:32Luckily for Bayley, Lyra kept her eyes on the prize.
06:36Taking out Kairi first, delivering Nightwing, hooking the leg.
06:41And a big time win in the women's tag team division for Lyra and Bayley.
06:46Here's Jackie Redman.
