00:00:07Then.
00:00:15Now.
00:00:24Forever.
00:00:31Together.
00:01:00The tension in the women's tag team division.
00:01:02The Bella Twins are here in Pittsburgh.
00:01:05They've returned to action together and they are right in the mix.
00:01:09Tonight, they'll face Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:01:13The current Hall of Famers against the future Hall of Famers right here in Pittsburgh.
00:01:19Plus a fascinating matchup with beautiful madness of Julia.
00:01:24But will the clock strike Tiffy time in the bird?
00:01:28Tiffany Stratton has turned her focus to a heated rival.
00:01:32The former champ wants more gold.
00:01:33A chance to prove she's more than worthy.
00:01:37And Kit Wilson is still reading poetry apparently.
00:01:40And his happy hips are here.
00:01:43He better put down that poetry because it's time to fight against a very determined Jelly Roll.
00:01:50Who's being a good sports dad as you can see.
00:01:52His first ever singles match a week after Kit Attack.
00:01:56Now Jelly gets him one on one.
00:01:58What's up daddy?
00:02:00Massive crowd over 12,700 here at PBG Paints Arena.
00:02:05It is rocking as mania is almost here.
00:02:08The accelerator is floor to Vegas.
00:02:10And much of our attention tonight will be on the incredible drama unfolding surrounding Cody Rhodes and the Viper Randy
00:02:17Orton.
00:02:22For years, the love you show me, that puts a smile on my face.
00:02:31That smile is the emptiest feeling that I have felt in my entire life.
00:02:39I want my legacy to be how much world championship gold I have put around my waist.
00:02:48Then Cody came into the picture.
00:02:51And I didn't know if I could be who I needed to be to beat Cody.
00:02:55But last week, Cody took that burden off my chest.
00:03:00I'm sure you're hearing the voices in your head and when the bell rings, that's what I expect.
00:03:07The voices in my head talk to me and they tell me that I am going to beat Cody Rhodes
00:03:13for the WWE Championship.
00:03:19What the hell was that last week, man?
00:03:21The way you did to Cody, the way you did-
00:03:23Are you kidding me?
00:03:23Don't you got some action figures to go play with?
00:03:26Mark ass stooge, an indie nerd.
00:03:29You're wasting my time!
00:03:31And now, as a matter of fact, I'm done!
00:03:33I'm done!
00:03:34I'm done!
00:03:37Can I be honest?
00:03:38I'm worried about you.
00:03:40I know what it's like to be the bad guy, Randy.
00:03:43I know what it's like to be judged for the worst version of ourselves.
00:03:46But you did the work to change that.
00:03:48You became a better person.
00:03:50You became a better man.
00:03:52I don't know if it's the voices in your head, or I don't know if it's somebody in your ear.
00:03:56But I know the real Randy.
00:03:58Jelly, what am I supposed to do?
00:04:00Like with Cardona earlier, like I know I was out of line, but how do I fix that?
00:04:04How do I even begin?
00:04:05Well, find Cardona and do the right thing.
00:04:07We'll start there.
00:04:09I love you, man.
00:04:10I know you do, man.
00:04:11I'll love you right back.
00:04:17Listen, I'm glad I picked up.
00:04:18You're right.
00:04:20I'm gonna go to the ring right now, and I'm gonna fix it.
00:04:23I am sorry.
00:04:26Matt, will you forgive me?
00:04:41Ð¥unt me.
00:04:42I am you immedify.
00:04:43I am trying to punch me!
00:04:45Ah!
00:04:45I will.
00:04:46Get in my head.
00:05:04I have voices in my head
00:05:08They come to me
00:05:09They understand
00:05:10They talk to me
00:05:21You've got your rules and your religion
00:05:24All designed to keep you safe
00:05:27But when rules start getting broken
00:05:30You stop questioning your fate
00:05:33I have a voice that is the savior
00:05:36Hates to love and loves to hate
00:05:39I have a voice that has the knowledge
00:05:42And the power to obey
00:05:45I hear voices crying
00:05:49I see heroes dying
00:05:51I taste blood that's drying
00:05:54I feel tension bouncing
00:05:57I hear voices in my head
00:06:00They come to me
00:06:01They understand
00:06:03They talk to me
00:06:04They talk to me
00:06:08They tell me things that I have to
00:06:11They show me things
00:06:13They talk to me
00:06:16They talk to me
00:06:18They talk to me
00:06:19They talk to me
00:06:22Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:06:25The Viper, Randy Orton
00:06:31It's been a month since that Elimination Chamber win
00:06:34But it seems like it has been
00:06:36A never-ending
00:06:37Long path of destruction
00:06:40And statement making
00:06:42By Randy Orton
00:06:43And his actions and words
00:06:45Have been clear
00:06:46Randy Orton has
00:06:48Devolved into something other
00:06:51Than the Randy Orton
00:06:53That won the Elimination Chamber
00:06:55Once he was locked in
00:06:57On that pathway to Wrestlemania
00:06:59Randy Orton has now
00:07:02Traded a long-term friendship
00:07:05With Cody Rhodes
00:07:07In order to get an edge
00:07:09Ahead of that Wrestlemania showdown
00:07:12For the WWE Championship
00:07:14And if that message
00:07:15Was not loud enough
00:07:17Than what he did to Matt Cardona
00:07:19Last week
00:07:20With that steel chair
00:07:21Breaking a bone
00:07:23In the wrist of Cardona
00:07:25Sent a very loud message
00:07:28To anybody
00:07:29Who thinks they may want to
00:07:31Step to this version
00:07:32Of the Viper
00:07:49Two weeks ago
00:07:51I stood in this ring
00:07:55Right next to Cody Rhodes
00:07:57And he looked me directly in the eye
00:08:02And he told me
00:08:05That he needed me
00:08:07To be the best version
00:08:08Of Randy Orton
00:08:09That I could be
00:08:12He then proceeded
00:08:14To tell me
00:08:15That each and every one of you
00:08:19Want me to be
00:08:20The best version
00:08:22Of Randy Orton
00:08:23That I can be
00:08:29Then he told me
00:08:30He wanted me
00:08:31To be the Viper
00:08:32He told me
00:08:33He wanted me
00:08:34To listen to the voices
00:08:35In my head
00:08:40The thing is
00:08:41I've shut them out
00:08:43A long, long time ago
00:08:48And for the past few years
00:08:52I've been thinking a lot
00:08:54About number 15
00:08:56I've been thinking a lot
00:08:57About my legacy
00:08:58And how I'm going to leave things
00:09:01When I am gone
00:09:01I've been thinking about
00:09:03My 15th world championship
00:09:08And then
00:09:10Cody
00:09:11Out of nowhere
00:09:15Gives me his blessing
00:09:22Now that I'm listening
00:09:23To those voices
00:09:24In my head
00:09:25Once again
00:09:27I have to let everybody know
00:09:30I can't be held responsible
00:09:32For what happens next
00:09:37The voices in my head
00:09:39They're not the problem
00:09:40It's all of your voice
00:09:43It's everyone else's voice
00:09:45Outside of my head
00:09:47That is the problem
00:09:52But there is
00:09:53One
00:09:55Voice
00:09:56There is one person
00:09:59That's got my ear
00:10:03There is one person
00:10:05Outside of my head
00:10:06Whose voice
00:10:07I am listening to
00:10:12Always ready
00:10:19Cut his music
00:10:21Cut his music
00:10:22Are you serious right now
00:10:24You want to come in the ring
00:10:25You want me to break your other arm
00:10:27You're lucky you still got a job
00:10:30At this place
00:10:30What the hell are you doing
00:10:32You got a mic

00:10:34Say it you son of
00:10:37Well Matt Cardona
00:10:39A man on a mission here
00:10:42And I was gonna say
00:10:43This is terribly unwise
00:10:45But
00:10:46Randy Orton
00:10:47Lay down after that
00:10:49Microphone shot to the
00:10:50Forehead
00:10:51I'm right here Randy
00:10:52I'm right here

00:11:00Well Cardona's here to fight

00:17:10Come on
00:17:14You got
00:17:15me You got
00:17:15regulatory Gun Co
00:17:17Guerrador
00:17:20I
00:17:20know Well I
00:17:21know I
00:17:24What funny
00:17:41And their opponents making their way to the ring.
00:17:45The team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:17:51Yeah, the recent former champs, dynamic combination of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:17:58A couple weeks ago, they were so close to getting that goal back.
00:18:02Of course, these two teams, over the last couple weeks, each of these teams have costed the other a championship
00:18:07match, Wade.
00:18:08Yeah, that's right.
00:18:09So they both had their title opportunities against the irresistible forces.
00:18:13And the women squaring off against their, well, women studying the opposite corners tonight,
00:18:18have each cost their rival teams their opportunity at gold.
00:18:24Albeit inadvertently, of course, after the irresistible forces tried to derail things themselves.
00:18:30And that hasn't sat well with either team.
00:18:33Now is a chance to take another opportunity to climb back to the number one contender spot,
00:18:38potentially, at least in the eyes of management.
00:18:43So the Bella Twins against Charlotte and Alexa.
00:18:48What is an incredibly deep, strong, and top-heavy women's tag team division.
00:19:00Oh, the champs are here.
00:19:04Well, speak of the devils.
00:19:29Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, there is still time to buy tickets to Monday Night Raw.
00:19:37Where you're going to see Lash and I, a team you actually want to watch,
00:19:43compete against Bayley and Lyre for the tag team championships.
00:19:49Now, unfortunately, tonight you're going to watch these wannabe contenders try their best.
00:19:57But you know what?
00:19:58I'm all about putting a spotlight on the tag team division.
00:20:01What?
00:20:02What?
00:20:03But there'd be no spotlight without Lash and I.
00:20:05What?
00:20:05So it doesn't make sense that we're not out here.
00:20:07What?
00:20:08You're right.
00:20:08It doesn't make sense.
00:20:10Just like everyone thinking the Bella Twins are so hot when we're here in comparison.
00:20:16Mm-hmm.
00:20:19Or everyone cheering for Charlotte and Alexa with a fake, phony-ass friendship.
00:20:28But no worries, they won't bring down the show too much.
00:20:32Not with us out here.
00:20:34Watching them fight for what we have.
00:20:39So go on, ladies.
00:20:40Fight on.
00:20:41Commence.
00:20:43I mean, to call them wannabe contenders, trust us, these are two teams everybody wants
00:20:48to see in two teams that were so close to perhaps toppling the irresistible forces the last couple
00:20:55weeks.
00:21:04Double Twins and Flair and Bliss repeat.
00:21:14Monday on Raw from Madison Square Garden.
00:21:18No full well that one of these two teams may well want the winner of that matchup.
00:21:23And whoever is victorious here may be in the cards for the irresistible forces down the
00:21:28line.
00:21:29So why not sit at ringside?
00:21:31Why not keep a very close eye on some top tag teams?
00:21:39No!
00:21:40To counter that time by Nicky against Charlotte.
00:21:47Little mind game from both teams in the early goings here.
00:21:50Yeah, it's a walk in the park for us, Joe.
00:21:52It's just that easy.
00:21:54Sending a very strong message to Charlotte Flair here.
00:21:58Brie Bella off the ropes.
00:22:00Of course, Brie Bella has had many, many years out of the game.
00:22:06Returned at the Royal Rumble, had her first competitive tag match in about five years last
00:22:13week.
00:22:13Straight back in at championship last level and did not miss a beat.
00:22:18Now reminded what those Flair Chops feel like as Alexa Bliss comes into the match.
00:22:26Just a couple weeks ago, Bliss was in prime position to possibly get Gold back.
00:22:31Went up for that twisted Bliss before things were interrupted by the Bella Twins.
00:22:34Brie Bella just refusing to stay down in the early goings of this one.
00:22:38Looking really sharp.
00:22:40Is she ever off to a good start?
00:22:42Nice transition.
00:22:42Oh, shoulders are down.
00:22:49There's the tag.
00:22:50Which I don't think Alexa Bliss caught sight of now fully focused on Brie Bella.
00:22:55However, of course, legal is the woman in the corner, Nikki.
00:23:01Alexa not realizing that at all.
00:23:03Look at the apron coming into play as she is pinned there.
00:23:07Having to try to fight off the Bella Twins.
00:23:11We'll move right on the playbook out of Finley.
00:23:15NXT coach and absolute legend in this game.
00:23:19A big upper hand here for the Bella Twins.
00:23:21As the champs look on here in Pittsburgh.
00:23:44The Bella Twins getting the best of Alexa Bliss as she gets set right into Lash and
00:23:51Nia who are seated ringside.
00:23:55Well, Lash and Nia have both thrown these women into each other over the past couple of weeks.
00:24:01There's a little taste of your own medicine to the champs.
00:24:05Far from thrill with how that played out.
00:24:08Of course, the disruption happened last week.
00:24:10As Charlotte and Nia were brawling on the floor.
00:24:13Come on, Lash!
00:24:13Bella Twins championship effort.
00:24:16As the challengers went the way of a non-contest.
00:24:21Nikki Bella taking full control of the matchup at this stage.
00:24:25And now it's starting to look like Alexa Bliss
00:24:27is being targeted by the Bella's ring cut in half.
00:24:31And there's not a damn thing that Charlotte Flair can do about it.
00:24:36Now doubling up for the suplex.
00:24:39You can see Bliss instantly grabbing her lower back, hooking the leg.
00:24:42We're gonna put her way here just to count of two.
00:24:44And I'll tell you right now, just sitting at ringside is all the irresistible forces
00:24:49have to do with their gleaming golden spectacular presentation.
00:24:55I mean, you had to invite it, didn't you?
00:24:57You had to invite it.
00:24:59Really?
00:24:59Nia Jax has taken Joe Tess's band again.
00:25:03It's graffiti and it's the worst kind of graffiti.
00:25:05It's the worst kind of graffiti.
00:25:06The kind of graffiti that will get you taken off air if the cameraman shoots it.
00:25:10Please don't.
00:25:11You want to frame that Joe Tess, put it up in your bathroom.
00:25:14I'll give it to you for your fridge.
00:25:15I know how you like that sort of stuff.
00:25:19Just a major distraction at ringside.
00:25:21At all times are the irresistible forces.
00:25:24But of course, the Bellas and Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair need to lock in somehow.
00:25:29Try and block out the tag champs lurking menacingly at ringside.
00:25:36Now this has just been constant control by the Bellas as you see Nikki.
00:25:42All that torque working against the left elbow and left shoulder of Alexa Bliss.
00:25:47That's a team who have been together for about six months plus.
00:25:51In Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair against a team who have been together since the womb
00:25:57in the Bellas and that chemistry of the Bellas Twins is just unsurpassed.
00:26:09Alexa Bliss desperately trying to find a foothold in this one but absolutely nothing available to her.
00:26:16And a double flapjack is not going to help proceedings.
00:26:20Right into the cover is Breed.
00:26:24Charlotte Flair had to be on her toes there to try and break that one up if necessary.
00:26:30And things starting to look bleak for the former tag champs here.
00:26:42Friday night Smackdown here in Pittsburgh.
00:26:44We're seeing the best of the tag team division as the Bellas Twins
00:26:47going up against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss as the irresistible forces.
00:26:52The champions are ringside to take it all in.
00:26:55And it has been a spectacular performance thus far from the Bellas Twins.
00:26:59Newly reunited and looking better than ever.
00:27:04And Alexa Bliss has taken a ton of abuse but now scrambling to get out of dodge.
00:27:09Can she get to Charlotte Flair?
00:27:11No, as Nikki Bella is able to get to her.
00:27:14You mentioned that the Bella Twins back together.
00:27:17They hadn't competed together since 2018.
00:27:20For that synchronicity, that teamwork, it never ever goes away.
00:27:24There is no ring rust whatsoever as Charlotte is dismissed from the apron.
00:27:29Yeah, no ring rust and no love lost between these two teams who've had major problems
00:27:33over the past couple of weeks with one another.
00:27:36And a message being sent now by the Bellas Twins.
00:27:39This is our division.
00:27:42Brie going back up top as she did earlier and drives that knee.
00:27:46They have really, Wade, been working on that left arm and shoulder of Alexa Bliss.
00:27:51Just such a pinpoint precision attack.
00:27:54Just unparalleled chemistry for the Bellas Twins tonight.
00:27:57Looking as good as they have ever looked in their history.
00:28:01Oh, what a great counter into the double DDT.
00:28:05Well, great counter by Bliss and not a moment too soon.
00:28:08And there's the tag to a fresh, best of all time, Charlotte Flair.
00:28:16And did they ever need that?
00:28:18Double cross body by Flair.
00:28:24And the Queen now getting to work center of the ring with those Flair chops,
00:28:29sending him out for Nikki and Brie.
00:28:36Game-changing queen of this industry, coming alive at just the right time.
00:28:43Oh, what a walkover clothesline by Charlotte Flair.
00:28:47Just a completely unparalleled resume of Charlotte Flair.
00:28:52And she's reaching peak flair right as we hit WrestleMania season.
00:28:58And you saw her point to that WrestleMania 42 sign.
00:29:01Three weeks to go.
00:29:03So much history has been written by Flair there at the showcase of the Immortals.
00:29:09Take that, Nia and Lash.
00:29:12Well talked to the tag champs.
00:29:14We're coming for that gold, ladies.
00:29:18Alexa Bliss right back to it.
00:29:21And the save made by Brie.
00:29:24And from a position of complete strength for the Bellas,
00:29:27they are now scrambling to stay alive here.
00:29:32Unfortunately for them, it's Alexa Bliss.
00:29:34They have once again isolated and Bliss has taken a ton of damage in this one.
00:29:38Has she ever?
00:29:39And now you see the teamwork from the Bellas.
00:29:43It's modified heart attack there.
00:29:46And Flair able to grab Brie's leg and Nikki immediately gets to Charlotte.
00:29:52Well, just in the nick of time there was Charlotte Flair breaking that one up.
00:29:57And here we go, Joe.
00:29:58Oh, Brie mode is activated.
00:30:01Oh, but Alexa gets to her feet.
00:30:03A little too much left in the tank of Bliss at this point, astoundingly.
00:30:08Oh, O'Connor roll.
00:30:08One, two, three.
00:30:10Rolling right through is Alexa.
00:30:13Oh, what a big shot from Lash Legend.
00:30:17The ref didn't see that.
00:30:18Lash Legend with an impact.
00:30:24Here are your winners, Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins.
00:30:28Well, the taunting apparently got a little too much for the tag champs.
00:30:33A cheap shot from Lash Legend that I don't think Brie Bella even saw.
00:30:38Certainly Alexa Bliss did not see it, but it seems Charlotte Flair incredibly unhappy
00:30:43about how that played out.
00:30:46Understandably so, but wait up.
00:30:48Chaos now ensuing.
00:30:50And this really has been the story of the Irresistible Forces over the past several weeks.
00:30:56Especially with these two teams.
00:30:58The past couple weeks, both these teams were in position
00:31:01for those championships against the Irresistible Forces.
00:31:05And then everything just disintegrated in those matches,
00:31:09as it does here with the aftermath.
00:31:11After the win by the Bella Twins, Lash Legend played a major role.
00:31:17Oh, oh god.
00:31:18Oh, man.
00:31:18Just rag-dolling Alexa Bliss.
00:31:20We have seen this before, Wade.
00:31:22Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:31:27oh, oh.
00:31:28The challenges for this Monday at Raw.
00:31:31Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
00:31:33Bayley and Lyra here on SmackDown just when Lash Legend and Nia Jax were ready to deliver again.
00:31:44Well, these are the number one contenders and the champs are getting rocked ahead of their showdown at MSG this
00:31:52Monday.
00:31:52Wow.
00:31:53Well, this division, as we said, is top-heavy and is ultra-talented,
00:32:00and you are seeing four of the very best as Bayley and Lyra enter the fray.
00:32:06Well, it took a whole group of these women in this tag division,
00:32:11but eventually managing to turf out the powerhouse tag champs who are unified in their disdain when
00:32:22it comes to Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
00:32:25But crucially, once again, Nia Jax and Lash leaving with the goal.
00:32:30Will that be the case on Monday night?
00:32:32Wait up.
00:32:33Well, Charlotte still has some issues with how things went down in the tag team match.
00:32:38The Bellas won it, but obviously what you saw with Lash Legend playing a major role
00:32:43in this women's tag team division, as wild and unpredictable as could be, Wade.
00:32:48Yeah, incredibly heated.
00:32:49I've got to be fair to Brie Bella.
00:32:50I don't think she knows that Lash Legend actually got involved there.
00:32:54She can watch it back on tape afterwards.
00:32:56Speaking of tag team division results that you couldn't see coming,
00:32:59I'm not sure Damian Priest himself could even believe his own eyes recently
00:33:03when gold was in his hands by way of his partner, R-Truth.
00:33:09Brewing Rivalries is presented by the refreshing taste of Twisted Tea Hard Ice Tea,
00:33:14made with real brewed tea.
00:33:16Please drink responsibly.
00:33:19It's a tag championship match with the unlikely duo of Damian Priest and R-Truth,
00:33:25but ready for war on the NFTs.
00:33:29If ever there was a time of year to win some gold, it's right above them.
00:33:38Solo Sokoa with a major distraction.
00:33:45The Wyatt Six and the MFTs, it is on.
00:34:05And only their third match as a pairing.
00:34:10Damian Priest and R-Truth are the WWE Tag Team Champions.
00:34:26Is that six inches?
00:34:27Yeah.
00:34:28What are you doing?
00:34:30We're talking blue for this lady.
00:34:32Hey, put all this on Nick, all this credit card.
00:34:35Building the clubhouse, dawg.
00:34:38Judgment Day is back.
00:34:39Yes.
00:34:40No, we're not.
00:34:42Is that because we kicked you out?
00:34:44The Tag Team Champs, baby.
00:34:47What's up, boys?
00:34:48What's up, boys?
00:34:49Hi, dawg.
00:34:50What's up, Truth?
00:34:52Dumb?
00:34:53No, Jelly Roll.
00:34:55I just, we do this every week, Truth.
00:34:57I've just seen you.
00:34:59You look different.
00:35:00Why, thank you.
00:35:00I lost a little weight.
00:35:02That ain't it.
00:35:04You shake the mustache.
00:35:07What is he talking about?
00:35:16I knew it.
00:35:17Dom and Mommy back together.
00:35:20Judgment Day bow back.
00:35:22I better hope Liv Morgan don't see this.
00:35:25What's wrong with you?
00:35:26We're getting a hot tub in the clubhouse.
00:35:29Well, that's cool.
00:35:31Priest.
00:35:31What?
00:35:32What are you saying?
00:35:32God, thank you for that.
00:35:33I was so confused.
00:35:34Listen, I came here to tell you something.
00:35:35I know it's not my job to give you no advice, cuz I'm not a wrestler good.
00:35:39You get the biggest match of your life coming up at WrestleMania.
00:35:41Jade, she's mean, she's violent, she's big, and she's strong.
00:35:45But you, you're Rhea Ripley, baby, and we believe in you.
00:35:49And if there was ever somebody that needed to get their ass humble, it is Jade Cargill.
00:35:53And I believe Rhea Ripley's gonna do it at WrestleMania.
00:35:56Hell yeah.
00:35:56Anyways, I got a match with Kiss Wilson, y'all.
00:35:58I've been to go kick his ass.
00:36:00I'll see y'all later.
00:36:00Peace out.
00:36:01Hey, Dom.
00:36:02Let it go.
00:36:06Does he really think that he's- Don't even, don't even.
00:36:09My, I was gonna say it to truth too, but he's occupied.
00:36:15But I wanted to say congratulations to you guys for being the tag team champions.
00:36:20You got some gold again, my dude.
00:36:23You know, this was unexpected.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:26But I fully expect you to get yours at WrestleMania.
00:36:29That's right.
00:36:31Now do me a favor, go handle this Jade business already.
00:36:35All right.
00:36:36Well, that's actually what I was about to go do, so, wepa.
00:36:39All right.
00:36:41I'll see you later.
00:36:42Later.
00:36:43The Eradicator, Mommy, Rhea, Bloody Ripley, next.
00:36:50Walk in like you own the air, because confidence, that's your superpower.
00:36:57Acknowledge me.
00:36:58You don't dodge the noise.
00:37:01You flip it, own it, make it yours.
00:37:06Walk in loud, walk out legendary.
00:37:25Journal entry, Tiffany's epiphanies.
00:37:29Daddy said I'm ready to take over NXT.
00:37:32The real question is, is NXT ready for Tiffany Stratton?
00:37:35It's tippy time.
00:37:37NXT was very important for me in my development.
00:37:41They made me superstar.
00:37:42They took me from an athlete and developed my character in a way where it's me, but it's also
00:37:48me over the top.
00:37:49I want to be called the NXT Women's Champion.
00:37:55Stratton has made it to the tippy top of the women's division here in NXT.
00:38:00Winning the NXT Women's Championship took me from this new girl to the future of the business.
00:38:06Tiffany Stratton from Miss Money in the Bank to the WWE Women's Champion.
00:38:13NXT built me from the ground up.
00:38:15I felt like I learned everything down at the Performance Center.
00:38:18And eventually, you develop into this big, beautiful WWE superstar.
00:38:26Give she ever an NXT Stand and Deliver will be in St. Louis on Saturday, April 4th.
00:38:31Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.
00:38:34By the way, Johnny Gargano, Miles Born in the NXT North American Championship at Stand and Deliver.
00:38:43I'm sorry.
00:38:44I'm good.
00:38:45Excuse us.
00:38:47What the hell were you thinking?
00:38:50No, what the hell were you thinking?
00:38:51Capitalizing someone getting punched in the face?
00:38:53My gosh, hold on.
00:38:53Let's see, I got this.
00:38:54Our problem is you two didn't stand a chance without Nyan Lash.
00:38:58So get to the back of the line.
00:39:00Oh, you know what?
00:39:01That's what you think, Charlotte.
00:39:02I mean, we didn't even ask Nyan Lash to watch our match, so you can't blame us.
00:39:08No, you know what?
00:39:09We came here for one thing, and that's to become tag team champions.
00:39:12And we will do whatever it takes to become that.
00:39:16Yeah, we'll see about that.
00:39:17Okay, yeah, we will.
00:39:19This isn't over.
00:39:21She took my flannel.
00:39:22Give her flannel back.
00:39:41I'll eat, sleep, bleed, like demons in your dreams.
00:39:47I'll eat, sleep, bleed.

00:41:32to
00:41:34rhea patriarca
00:41:50I didn't expect integrity from Jade Cargill.
00:41:56I was fully under the impression that she would do whatever she needed to do
00:42:01to not get her hands dirty.
00:42:03But the one thing that I didn't expect was for B-Fab and Meachin to be so
00:42:15desperate that they had to stoop down to her level.
00:42:22If that's the game you guys wanna play, then that's fine.
00:42:27Because it is WrestleMania season and I don't care what I gotta do.
00:42:33Or who I gotta go through before I get there.
00:42:40So, I'm out here in my ring.

00:43:37Jade Cargill looking cool as ice with some major backup.
00:43:45You know, you sound real slick for somebody that got dropped last week.
00:43:56They think we care?
00:43:57Y'all think we care?
00:43:59You think we care about all that?
00:44:01Please close your mouths.
00:44:02I mean, they didn't join me.
00:44:04They position themselves in power.
00:44:09And if you think you're gonna drag me down, or if I'm gonna drag them down,
00:44:14you already know what it is.
00:44:19Rhea, I'm glad you said it.
00:44:23You said you'll take down anybody and anything to make sure you get what you want.
00:44:30I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
00:44:32They're pretty loud here.
00:44:33No, no, no, no.
00:44:34This ain't about you.
00:44:35I knew that.
00:44:37You're a selfish backstabber.
00:44:40You don't care about who's sacrificed, who's put in the work,
00:44:44as long as you're the one who gets the reward.
00:44:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I, hey, shut up.
00:44:50No.
00:44:50This is not your show.
00:44:52You know what she said?
00:44:53Why are you gonna make me?
00:44:54Because she think it is.
00:44:55It's fine, it's fine.
00:44:56I've been grinding for decades just like you.
00:45:00We've been putting in work just like you.
00:45:04Exactly.
00:45:05And while we're the ones that's forgotten, you get all the love and attention?
00:45:09Mm-hm.
00:45:10No, no, no, no.
00:45:11We sick and tired of the not yet.
00:45:13We take it for what's ours now.
00:45:16Uh-huh.
00:45:16And then, Jade had a plan and we jumped at the opportunity.
00:45:21I mean, why wouldn't we?
00:45:23She's got the gold, she's got the power, and at least with Jade,
00:45:28what you see is what you get.
00:45:31Man.
00:45:31And if you wanna get your ass beat tonight, be our guest.
00:45:37I mean, you have all these people fooled.
00:45:40You're not even a freaking person on SmackDown.
00:45:44You are a guest.
00:45:46Man.
00:45:47But it's fine.
00:45:49We spoke to Nick Aldis.
00:45:52Uh-huh.
00:45:52And B-Fab wants to step up tonight.
00:45:55You gonna learn today.
00:45:59I'm gonna learn.
00:46:00Okay, I'm gonna learn.
00:46:02What I'm gonna teach B-Fab tonight is that action-
00:46:07That you're gonna get your ass beat.
00:46:08No, no, I'm gonna teach her like I'm gonna teach you at WrestleMania.
00:46:12The actions have consequences, Jade.
00:46:18You can't protect her from everything.
00:46:21She's gonna realize real quick that I'm something that you cannot protect her from.
00:46:26So let's get a referee down here then.
00:46:28Let's get this party started.
00:46:30Yeah, let's do that on this road to WrestleMania.
00:46:34Hell yes, sign me up.
00:46:37Rhea Ripley in action.
00:46:38We're getting it against B-Fab next.
00:46:44We are right into action here with Rhea Ripley and B-Fab.
00:46:49Wade, as Rhea said, actions have consequences.
00:46:53And we know the actions of a week ago when B-Fab and Mee-Ching cut a deal with Jay
00:46:58Cargill,
00:46:59and they were attacking Rhea Ripley.
00:47:01Well, Rhea Ripley right out of the blocks, and Jay Cargill apparently had to do something.
00:47:06There was no slowing down the WrestleMania challenger, Rhea Ripley.
00:47:11And wait a second, Mee-Ching getting in on it too.
00:47:14And Mee-Ching on the other side, of course, WWE Women's Championship of WrestleMania will be
00:47:19Rhea against Jade as she just takes out Mee-Ching.
00:47:24Well, it looks like Rhea Ripley knows full well that Jade is gonna get involved.
00:47:30Oh, here we go.
00:47:31Oh, what a headbutt, the impact of that.
00:47:34Oh, and Jade, and there's the bell.
00:47:37This thing dissolves instantly as she slams her across our announce desk.
00:47:41I mean, this was inevitable.
00:47:42That's a problem for Rhea Ripley, overestimating your own massive abilities
00:47:48there are three badass women out here, and they are batting for your point.
00:47:53Oh, what a big kick.
00:47:54Jeez, it was like a drop, Rhea.
00:47:56And a headbutt once again.
00:47:58We are just 22 days away.
00:48:01Oh, she's lining up Riptide.
00:48:02She's lining up Riptide.
00:48:04And now the numbers get to Rhea.
00:48:07Well, here's the benefit of coming in mob-handed.
00:48:10I don't care how good you are.
00:48:12I don't care if you're the face of women's wrestling, Rhea Ripley.
00:48:15You will be dropped by three women with this level of capability.
00:48:21And the kicks from both Deepak and Nietzsche.
00:48:24And now the deal that was brokered to ride the wave with Jade.
00:48:30As she presents her 360 before Jade.
00:48:40As the cascade of booze drowning down from the Rhea supporters.
00:48:47It's a different week, but it's the same view for Rhea bloody Ripley.
00:48:52Crumpled at the boots of her opponent in three weeks time at WrestleMania,
00:48:59WWE Women's Champ, Jade Cargill.
00:49:06That goal to be on the line in Vegas.
00:49:12Massive.
00:49:12Inspire.
00:49:13Zone in.
00:49:14Last week, it worked.
00:49:15So tonight with you in my corner, unstoppable.
00:49:18No.
00:49:19No?
00:49:20No.
00:49:22Sticking gum.
00:49:25Look, you're right.
00:49:26Last week worked.
00:49:28So you don't need me in your corner.
00:49:30You can go out there on your own and do it on your own.
00:49:32You can do this.
00:49:33I'm gonna go in a room with no sharp objects and stay away from the TV and
00:49:39just take notes.
00:49:41This can't be because of the curse.
00:49:44There is no curse.
00:49:45A curse is when lightning strikes you from above.
00:49:48Not when you step in gum or your packages get rerouted from Romania or
00:49:53your phone falls in the toilet.
00:49:55Your phone fell in the toilet?
00:49:57Yes.
00:49:58And there is no disinfectant in this disgusting city, Pittsburgh.
00:50:04I saw you use it.
00:50:06Just do what you did last week.
00:50:07Master, inspire, zone in.
00:50:09Okay?
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:14Master, inspire.
00:50:16Hey, check.
00:50:18How you doing?
00:50:19Say, I have a question.
00:50:20I was wondering what do you have that Danhausen doesn't have?
00:50:24Tourmise will mentor you and not me.
00:50:26I have the machismo.
00:50:27I have the great hair.
00:50:28I've got the great suits.
00:50:30Wake up, Danhausen!
00:50:31I am already done.
00:50:31I'm good looking.
00:50:33I look the part.
00:50:35Look at you.
00:50:37You.
00:50:38Are.

00:51:19I gotta be a part of the show.
00:51:21Let me show you what I can do.
00:51:23Is this thing even on?
00:51:25A priest and a rabbi walks into a party.
00:51:28I didn't really mean everything I said that night.
00:51:32This is gonna be insane.
00:51:36This is going to be awesome.
00:51:38Kill Tony, Saturday April 18th.

00:51:54Hey!
00:51:55We are a week removed when two men were not that responsible with unprecedented brawling
00:51:59between Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre.
00:52:10Oh, that's McIntyre!
00:52:13And Jacob Fatu!
00:52:17What did you think was gonna happen?
00:52:24What the hell did you think was gonna happen?
00:52:27What the hell did you think was gonna happen?
00:52:29It's the main event of WrestleMania.
00:52:32And you took that from me.
00:52:37I came here to fight.
00:52:39And if anybody wronged Drew McIntyre, your ass belongs to me.
00:52:44What the hell is wrong with you?
00:52:46You're the most self-sabotaging person I've ever known in this business.
00:52:50Now you want Jacob.
00:52:51And now I put you in a match.
00:52:53And now you can't keep your hands off each other.
00:52:55I am gonna cause chaos all night.
00:52:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:53:00Drew!
00:53:02You cost me my spot at the tangle.
00:53:05So what you think I'ma do if somebody disrespects me, huh?
00:53:09I'ma apply pressure.
00:53:12And I'ma wipe that ass up for sleeping on me.
00:53:17Things are at a boiling point.
00:53:19You simply cannot contain the Samoan werewolf.
00:53:30Destruction everywhere.
00:53:41Drew and Jacob again everywhere.
00:53:43Drew and Jacob again everywhere.

00:53:53Get down!
00:53:53Get down!
00:53:54Get down!
00:53:54There's a fire between them that cannot be contained tonight.
00:54:02No! No! No!
