00:06Bianca Belair needs to compartmentalize her nerves and her emotions.
00:10This is the biggest stage she has ever stepped foot on.
00:12You could see the emotion in both women's faces.
00:15You have to put it in the past, you forget about it.
00:18Bianca's on the verge of tears right now.
00:20You can't let the magnitude of the situation crumble you.
00:27To be perfectly honest Cole,
00:28I don't know if Bianca's gonna make it tonight.
00:31For Sasha Banks, what does she need to do to keep the title?
00:35Banks needs to stick with what brought her to the dance.
00:38Sasha Banks has earned every accolade she's had throughout her career.
00:42Tonight could be no different.
00:43And now the collar and elbow tie up on the boss will back Bianca Belair into the corner.
00:47The one thing Sasha Banks does not want to do is try to outpower Bianca Belair.
00:51But Banks can play mind games, she can trash talk and pull Belair out of her game.
00:55Banks has experience, that is invaluable.
00:59That is the X Factor in this matchup.
01:06And again, collar and elbow tie up, a feeling out process between these two women.
01:10And a takedown by Banks.
01:13I'm not entirely sure I think Banks may have had a fistful of the long-
01:17Uh-oh!
01:18Great ponytail of Belair, but the EST is back up.
01:25And Bianca Belair not going to be intimidated by Sasha.
01:33And Banks, Belair now.
01:35Wow. Nice move.
01:36Across the ring.
01:37Uh-oh, went for the leapfrog and Belair caught Banks.
01:39Banks reverse is looking for- Yeah, but Belair said not now.
01:43And Bianca Belair standing moonsault lands on her feet as Banks rolls out of harm's way.
01:51Bianca's feeling herself, no doubt about that.
01:54That's that attitude of Bianca Belair that's brought her so far, so far in her career.
01:58And meanwhile, takedown of Banks.
02:00The fella has to keep her eyes on Sasha.
02:02One mistake from Bianca and the boss will change the complexion of the matchup.
02:06No doubt about that, and Bianca telling Sasha I was that close.
02:12We know when almost counts.
02:19And now Banks, uh-oh, caught again by Belair.
02:25Uh-oh, uh-oh.
02:26In the early going of this matchup, Bianca Belair has been outpowering the Boss.
02:31And Sasha, though, sets Bianca out of the ring and buys herself a little bit of time.
02:37Come on, back in, Bianca.
02:41Banks with a baseball slide.
02:43Wise strategy by the champion.
02:46Belair back up to the apron.
02:48Will block the right by Banks.
02:50And Banks swings wildly a couple of times.
02:53Uh-oh, Bianca's got other plans.
02:56Oh, and Sasha hanging Bianca up on the top rope.
03:00And now driving Belair.
03:04And Banks tells the ref counter.
03:06Bianca, come on, let's go.
03:08Our decision by Sasha Banks possesses champion's advantage.
03:11Bianca can only become SmackDown Women's Champion by pinfall or submission.
03:15Uh-oh.
03:16And Sasha Banks gonna fly with a suicide dive.
03:19Banks got all of it.
03:21Oh, my God.
03:21Belair rolled through, are you kidding me?
03:23Now powered up with Banks in her arms.
03:28And Belair now pressing Banks.
03:33And walking up the stairs.
03:35That is incredible.
03:39And dumping Banks into the ring.
03:42Bianca promised to show up and show out.
03:48Bianca into the corner.
03:50Sasha, oh, Bianca now gonna send her out to the apron.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Banks with a knee right to the jaw.
03:56Once again, the EST is down in the corner.
04:02And now Banks went for the double knees.
04:04And this time Belair intercepted.
04:06Oh, my goodness.
04:08Wow.
04:10Banks right on the back of her neck.
04:13That is some serious whiplash.
04:15We're talking car crash impact.
04:17But now Banks once again with the long braid of Bianca Belair.
04:20And this is the boss we know.
04:23This is the Sasha Banks.
04:24Oh, my God.
04:26Shoulder first into the steel ring post.
04:29And the strategy backfired by Sasha.
04:32And now Banks.
04:33Nobody home.
04:37Officials on the count of six.
04:39Belair cannot win the championship.
04:42Hey.
04:42That means Bianca needs to get herself and Banks back in the ring.
04:45And both women break the count.
04:48Uh-oh.
04:48Inside cradle but.
04:50And Belair now powering Sasha up into a vertical suplex.
04:55Using the ropes to her advantage.
04:58Still has Sasha up there.
05:00The blood rushing to the skull of Banks.
05:04Banks no doubt disoriented.
05:07And look at the power of the EST.
05:13And does she have another one left?
05:15And she does.
05:16Banks trying to fight back.
05:18Oh.
05:18The suplex connects.
05:23Oh.
05:25And Belair with a couple of shoulder tackles to Banks.
05:28Nice drop kick.
05:29Bianca.
05:30To build momentum.
05:35And Belair.
05:37Standing shooting star.
05:39I'm the 8th F3.
05:44One, two, three.
05:47Bianca's gotta be careful not to get herself disqualified.
05:49She could squander the biggest opportunity of her career.
05:52And a kick by Banks.
05:53And Sasha trying to fight back into this.
05:55Bianca Belair able to grab Sasha Banks.
05:58Now Sasha up top and face first.
06:02We know about the athleticism possessed by Belair.
06:07Bianca now all the way up top.
06:10Belair for the top rope.
06:12Banks is in trouble.
06:13Bianca Belair, Banks got her knees up.
06:17Full impact of Belair's own body weight across both knees of Banks.
06:22Belair might have suffered a cracked rib.
06:25Banks trying to make it back to her feet first.
06:28Belair up to her feet as well.
06:30Bianca Belair, look at this.
06:31Now shoulders down for Banks.
06:32Kick out at two.
06:36And now Sasha Banks with a backslide.
06:38Will it be enough to put Belair away.
06:40Another near fall and a kick by Sasha.
06:46And Banks caught.
06:48Bianca just too strong.
06:50My goodness.
06:53And again the power of Bianca Belair.
06:57And another sit out power bomb.
06:59Stacks up Sasha.
07:01Sasha just barely able to kick out and beat the officials count.
07:05And Bianca Belair went for a third one and Banks counter.
07:19That just angered Bianca.
07:21Hold those Banks into the corner.
07:25And Belair continuing to kick away at the champion.
07:33Banks up on the top rope, Bianca gonna go up after her.
07:42And look at Sasha fighting back.
07:44Critical moment here.
07:47Belair right back.
07:49My goodness.
07:50Look for a kick but Sasha a step ahead.
07:54Stomping viciously on the knee.
07:57And Bianca's in trouble.
07:58Bianca is caught up.
07:59Sasha Banks has Belair.
08:10Banks from the top rope rolls through.
08:14Looks like Sasha might have tweaked a knee or an ankle when she landed.
08:17Oh my God.
08:18That won't do her knees any favors.
08:20Banks hit hard.
08:22Belair now perched on the top rope.
08:24The champion is down.
08:27And Bianca gonna go for it all from the top rope.
08:31This time she connects.
08:33The cover on Banks for the championship.
08:35And Banks kicks out at two.
08:37And Belair can't believe it.
08:39Bianca Belair can't believe it.
08:41But now she's gotta regain her emotions.
08:43She's gotta grab her emotions.
08:44It can't be done.
08:46Bianca's dreams were just shattered before our very eyes.
08:50I think Bianca may have just been emotionally destroyed.
08:55You saw the expression change in the challenger.
08:58Does she realize she's got the champion on the run?
09:01If Bianca's frustrated, she's much more likely to make a mistake.
09:05And Belair now with Banks up.
09:07Banks lands on her feet.
09:08Bianca and now again grabs the hair.
09:15Oh my God!
09:16Whoa!
09:21How is Banks even functioning?
09:26Bianca wanted the K.O.D.
09:28And now Banks.
09:30Sasha wanted the backstabber, but Bianca too strong.
09:33And Bianca round and round they go.
09:35Now Belair powering Banks up.
09:36K.O.D.
09:38No way.
09:38It's a death.
09:39No way.
09:40Drops up Banks.
09:41And a kick out.
09:42A kick out by Sasha.
09:44No.
09:45Here is her winner.
09:47She won!
09:48And the new SmackDown Women's Champion, Bianca Belair!
10:00Bianca Belair shocked the world!
