00:01And what a way to begin night two of WrestleMania.
00:05Of course, our host, Rob Gronkowski looking on.
00:08And what a way to start things off with the queen.
00:13I cannot tell you how intrigued I am about this matchup.
00:19She is the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match winner.
00:24Charlotte Flair's selection after a thorough process was to challenge
00:29for the NXT Women's Championship, a surprise to many in the WWE Universe.
00:35Oh, I think Charlotte included in that surprise.
00:37I mean, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Charlotte was either
00:40going to challenge for the Raw Women's Championship or the SmackDown Women's Championship.
00:43But all of a sudden, boom, here comes the curveball.
00:46This is a milestone moment here to begin night two of WrestleMania.
00:50Representing Monday Night Raw, Tom Coulx alongside Byron Saxton.
00:53We start up our night with the NXT Women's Championship match.
01:11It was one of the most bold moves in recent memory by any WWE superstar.
01:17Rhea Ripley, the NXT Women's Champion, marched to Charlotte Flair's home turf.
01:24A Monday Night Raw got in the face of the Women's Royal Rumble match winner and
01:29offered in that moment.
01:31In fact, she challenged Flair to challenge her for her title at WrestleMania.
01:36Rhea Ripley came out and said it.
01:38I don't wanna see the old matches that we've seen before.
01:40I wanna give the people something new.
01:43And something new is Rhea Ripley against Charlotte Flair.
01:47And you talk about something new.
01:48That is exactly how Charlotte Flair looks at Rhea Ripley as, quote,
01:52the next big thing here in WWE, but what Charlotte has said.
01:56Everyone's the next big thing until they're not.
01:59Could that all go up in smoke tonight for Ripley?
02:01If I'm being Rhea Ripley right now, I feel nothing.
02:04I feel no pressure.
02:05I feel no weight on my shoulders.
02:07But I can gain the world here tonight if I defeat Charlotte Flair.
02:12Rhea Ripley won the championship back in December on NXT.
02:17And now representing the NXT brand for the first time ever.
02:21The NXT Women's title defended at WrestleMania.
02:26The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Women's Championship.
02:35Introducing the challenger from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
02:46There is a reason why Charlotte Flair calls herself Miss WrestleMania.
02:50WrestleMania, one of the most prolific WrestleMania performers in history.
03:00And her opponent, she is the NXT Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.
03:13To be the best, you gotta beat the best.
03:15And many would say the best is the 10 time champion, Charlotte Flair.
03:25It is all about the NXT Women's Championship, our first match of the night here on day two of WrestleMania.
03:34As I mentioned, it's a milestone moment not just in the career of Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair, but for
03:40the NXT brand over 10 years in the making.
03:43This is a tremendous opportunity for an NXT Championship to be defended at the showcase of the Immortals.
03:52Absolutely.
03:53Think about this.
03:54This is Rhea Ripley's chance to put her stamp on history.
03:57To put her stamp on the legacy as the NXT Women's Champion.
04:00This is our NXT Champion.
04:02Come on.
04:04Woo.
04:06Immediately the queen trying to get into the head of Rhea Ripley.
04:09I remember it was the knee, the left knee of Rhea Ripley that Charlotte Flair attempted to damage a number
04:16of weeks ago on NXT.
04:18It was the figure four applied around the ring post.
04:21And speaking of which.
04:22I was trying to set up for it.
04:24Charlotte knew exactly what she was doing.
04:26Really, Charlotte.
04:28She wanted to soften up Rhea Ripley ahead of WrestleMania.
04:33Come on.
04:42Think about the history of Rhea Ripley, the moment that she actually started training here at the Performance Center.
04:48She struggled with mental toughness.
04:50She struggled with a self-esteem.
04:52Charlotte, Charlotte.
04:52And one of the reasons Flair is because so many people were comparing-
04:56Really, Charlotte?
04:57Huh?
04:57You really wanna try and fuck me out?
04:59Really?
05:00You're getting in my face.
05:01Yes.
05:04A signature flair chop.
05:06I've been the Raw champion.
05:08I've been the last champion.
05:10I'm about to take-
05:11Get a title.
05:12Get him out of the corner.
05:13Rhea Ripley is finding out the reality of facing the queen on the platform of WrestleMania.
05:20Charlotte Flair caught in the corner by Rhea Ripley.
05:24Now, wait a minute.
05:25Think about the Riptide.
05:26Going for the Riptide and she got it.
05:29Cover by Ripley on Flair.
05:32And a kick out by Charlotte Flair.
05:34I thought we were gonna witness an upset.
05:36Not too many people have kicked out of the Riptide for Rhea Ripley.
05:40And there's gotta be a part of Ripley that stunk.
05:44Now, Tom, it goes back.
05:47This is my ring.
05:51Two.
05:52I was gonna say that moment.
05:53Get in my ring, princess.
05:55Three.
05:55Wow, yeah.
05:56I was gonna say the mental toughness might be tested, but Rhea Ripley seems as confident as ever.
06:02Charlotte Flair has gotten to the count of ten to get back inside the ring.
06:05The second title can only change hands via pinfall or submission inside the ring.
06:09Advantage to the champion, Ripley, who continues to talk trash on Flair,
06:13who slides back in and resets the count.
06:16And now Ripley's in pursuit.
06:19Chasing the queen.
06:20Charlotte, Charlotte.
06:22And now Charlotte finally got the upper hand.
06:25Come on, Charlotte.
06:26Come on.
06:27Come on, let's go.
06:28Come on.
06:29That is the astonishing thing, Byron, is Rhea Ripley hits her biggest move to Riptide.
06:35I would have thought she'd be stunned, but instead she was even more confident.
06:38It didn't seem to faze her that Charlotte Flair had kicked out.
06:42She just kept on moving forward.
06:45My, dragging Flair to the outside of the ring.
06:48It just speaks to how determined Rhea Ripley is to capitalize on this moment, Tom.
06:52To capitalize on this WrestleMania moment.
06:55Shot to the throat.
07:00Two.
07:00To do that, Rhea's got to overcome.
07:03Incredible experience and panic for Charlotte Flair.
07:07Back elbow by Ripley outside of the ring, measuring Flair.
07:11And launched herself at Charlotte Flair.
07:13Come on, Charlotte.
07:14Come on.
07:18You almost feel like, Tom, that confidence meter is just getting stronger and
07:22stronger and stronger for Rhea Ripley.
07:24Count of seven, both superstars back inside the ring.
07:27Ripley wants to finish the queen.
07:29And a drop kick down goes Flair.
07:33And now look at Ripley, so tenacious.
07:36She's ravenous at this point in the match.
07:41Ripley virtually possessed right now, doing whatever she can to put down the queen.
07:47Stay off the hair.
07:48Come on, watch it.
07:49Let's go.
07:52Hey, Charlotte.
07:55Not too many people could say they've talked trash against Charlotte Flair,
07:58gotten away with it.
07:59Ripley is.
08:01And now Ripley with a suplex into the cover to retain the NXT Women's Championship and
08:08a kick out.
08:09Two calories.
08:10She came up at two.
08:11Watch the hair.
08:13Anyways, this match isn't just for Rhea Ripley.
08:16Ripley's representing an entire brand.
08:19Let's go!
08:20The entire NXT Women's Division.
08:22Let's go!
08:24Talked about the confidence issues that were in the past of Rhea Ripley.
08:28And now look at this, body scissors applied and pulling at the hair.
08:32This has gotten nasty very, very quickly.
08:36It's something to my point before, Rhea Ripley at one point when she walked in the door at NXT
08:41was compared in stature and athletic ability to Charlotte Flair.
08:45This is deeply personal for Ripley to prove that wrong.
08:49It speaks to the resolve of Rhea Ripley to use that as motivation for all these years.
08:54Ripley's gotta be careful.
08:55Charlotte Flair trying to bridge here.
08:57Has a hold of the arm.
08:58Is it trying to prevent Rhea Ripley from doing any more damage?
09:01Still in the body scissors.
09:02Cover on Flair and a kick out.
09:07And right now, it's Rhea Ripley who's testing the Queen and Charlotte Flair through the ropes.
09:13It's more than that, Tom.
09:14Rhea Ripley is dominating the Queen.
09:16Uh-oh, went for the Bodo and caught up along the top rope.
09:20Dominating no more.
09:25That is the bullseye that Charlotte Flair wanted.
09:29Targeted it a few weeks ago on NXT and earlier on in this matchup.
09:33The left leg off of the top rope and now look at the stomping on the leg.
09:42As intense as Ripley was moments ago, now it's Charlotte Flair's turn.
09:47That's all you got?
09:48It just shows you how smart Charlotte Flair is to attack that knee weeks ago,
09:53knowing full well she could use that to her advantage.
09:55Come WrestleMania.
09:57One, two, three.
09:59Come on, Charlotte.
10:01Come on, Charlotte.
10:03Let's go.
10:03Ripley just hailing in pain.
10:05You think you can call my kingdom and challenge me?
10:08Yes.
10:09No, no, no.
10:17Again, and the knee driven into the canvas.
10:20Charlotte Flair is becoming incensed.
10:22God.
10:26And Rhea Ripley back up to her feet.
10:28A wild swing.
10:30And another kick to the back of the knee.
10:32You want me to stop the matchup?
10:33You want me to stop the matchup?
10:34You want me to stop the matchup?
10:35She wants to continue.
10:36Let's go.
10:37This punishment that Charlotte Flair is inflicting on Rhea Ripley is a direct result
10:41of how disrespected she feels.
10:46How about we set him?
10:48Let's go.
10:51Let's go.
10:52We are just fighting for anything at this point.
10:53Come on.
10:57Come on.
10:58All right, now look at the Queen trying to turn things around,
11:00manipulating the leg and again smashing it into the mat.
11:09When it comes to the big game, when it comes to the big day,
11:14we have ever been better than Charlotte Flair,
11:17and we are seeing live right now.
11:19Charlotte, no, you don't do that.
11:20And into the post.
11:24Similar circumstance to what happened recently on NXT between these two.
11:29All she had to do was get a hold of the left knee of Rhea Ripley.
11:33And she would make Ripley pay.
11:36But Ripley pulled her leg back and pulled Flair into the post.
11:41Yeah, but Ripley can't even stand up.
11:43She's just crawling to what?
11:45To try to create some separation, but she's in bad shape.
11:49Ripley just trying to buy herself some time.
11:51She's gotta come up with an answer here to this early onslaught from Flair.
11:56And a shot to the back of the knee.
11:59You okay with it?
12:00I can stop this match.
12:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:03Hey, she won't entertain you.
12:05No, no.
12:05Watch the knee crumble with this, boom, this chop block.
12:10My God.
12:11I made an XT.
12:13This bridge is because of me.
12:13Look at the pain on the face of Rhea Ripley.
12:15You hear that?
12:16This bridge is because of me.
12:18Hey, Charlotte.
12:22Come on.
12:23Come on.
12:25Come on.
12:26Come on, stop.
12:28Two time.
12:29Two time NXT champion.
12:32You want more of this?
12:33Get your hands off me.
12:37Wait a minute, went again for the knee into a cover.
12:40Ripley again.
12:42But still could not put away Flair.
12:44The queen is laughing.
12:46Big smile on the face of Charlotte Flair.
12:52And now Ripley, face first, goes Charlotte Flair.
12:57But again, at what cost to Rhea Ripley?
13:00Come on.
13:01And that might have been the last ditch effort that Rhea Ripley had to create
13:06any sort of offense for herself.
13:08And watch this again, some of the power of Ripley.
13:11But even for her to stand and then deliver, this high impact move.
13:15See her immediately go and clutch at the leg.
13:18A brief shot of adrenaline for Rhea Ripley, if nothing else.
13:23Rhea, I never stop.
13:24I never give up.
13:26That's why.
13:29And now Charlotte Flair wants to capitalize.
13:37Right now Rhea Ripley is in pure survival mode.
13:42Come on.
13:47My God.
13:50What's that taste like?
13:55And now Ripley able to block.
13:56And a knee.
13:57The good knee.
14:00Hey, watch the hair.
14:02Come on, Charlotte.
14:02And back to the hair, grabbing the hair.
14:04Off the bone, off the bone, off the bone, off the bone.
14:08With the counter.
14:10And a kick found its mark enough.
14:13And another one.
14:15That one was more effective.
14:20And leaping into the drop kick.
14:22But again, the knee of Rhea Ripley giving out.
14:25Every offensive attempt is creating more pain for Rhea Ripley.
14:29Come on!
14:31I mean, you admire the fact that Ripley's trying to will herself on here.
14:35Amazing that she was able to deliver the basement drop kick.
14:40And now keeping the queen close with these short range clotheslines.
14:50Ripley doing everything she can to fight through the pain.
14:53Trying to fire herself up.
14:56Full speed kicks.
14:57No.
14:58Out to the apron.
15:00And another Ruff landing.
15:01And again, Charlotte Flair kicking out the knee.
15:04It might be a matter of time at this point, Tom.
15:15I honestly don't know how much Rhea Ripley's got left.
15:18And now the queen is ascending to the top.
15:22Ripley's there to meet her.
15:23And a kick right to the face.
15:24Rhea Ripley saw what Charlotte Flair was thinking about and trying to slow it down.
15:31First on the shoulders of Ripley, how in the world does she have this?
15:34Three face first into the canvas.
15:36Can Rhea Ripley put away Flair on WrestleMania and retain her title?
15:41Now a kick out by the queen.
15:43No matter what happens in this match, you have to honor the effort we are seeing here
15:47from Rhea Ripley.
15:49Essentially fighting with one good leg.
15:56This has been a brutal physical matchup from the outset.
16:06This is, I have no idea how Rhea Ripley was able to muster up enough strength to deliver that maneuver.
16:12And now Rhea Ripley, the aggressor.
16:15Get off me, get off me.
16:24And Ripley, Ripley.
16:27Rough landing there again with the injured leg.
16:31Big right hand by Flair.
16:33Come on, Charlotte, get her out of the corner, let's go.
16:36Come on, Charlotte.
16:38Ripley now.
16:39Come on, Charlotte, let's go.
16:40Left leg draped over the middle rope.
16:42Come on, Charlotte, let's go.
16:43There comes Charlotte.
16:44No.
16:45On another elbow.
16:46You okay, Charlotte?
16:48I don't know if this is wise.
16:50Ripley all the way to the top.
16:54Off the top rope and another drop kick, but again landed on the knee.
16:58Rhea Ripley now trying to get into the cover.
17:01One, two, three.
17:01Up to the leg.
17:02On Flair, kicks at a two and a half.
17:04Two count.
17:05And again, it was the damage to the knee that forced Rhea Ripley to pause.
17:09Even just for a split second, that might have saved Flair.
17:12You have to start to think about career longevity now if you're Rhea Ripley.
17:15Look at how much damage is being done to the left knee with maneuvers like this.
17:20Coming all the way off the top rope to strike Charlotte Flair with that drop kick.
17:25When the Ripley lands, she lands directly on the left knee.
17:29It's what we talked about earlier, Byron.
17:31Rhea Ripley's coming into this matchup.
17:33She's shown it that she doesn't feel the pressure of this situation.
17:36They're trying to get the blood flowing in the left knee,
17:38trying to get the feeling back in the left leg.
17:45Another boot by Flair.
17:51Again, a chop block from behind.
17:55Flair is smelling blood right now.
17:56Now Charlotte Flair going after the left leg.
18:02This is classic strategy developed by her father, Ric Flair, and perfected by the Queen.
18:15Trying to pick the leg, trying to go after the leg.
18:18Rhea Ripley doing everything she can to keep Charlotte Flair at bay.
18:26Rhea Ripley.
18:27Wait a minute, now Ripley.
18:28No, stop.
18:29No, stop.
18:29And Ripley.
18:32Whatever she can do with that good leg.
18:34No, no, no.
18:37Yeah.
18:37And the stabbing cloverleaf.
18:40Come on.
18:41Stop.
18:42Stop.
18:42And Charlotte Flair gonna tap out to the nightmare at WrestleMania.
18:47Now it's Flair who's writhing in pain in the center of the ring.
18:51And you gotta wonder how long can Rhea Ripley maintain this position with one good leg.
18:56Rhea Ripley holding on for her life.
18:58No, no, no.
18:59Charlotte Flair trying to crawl with her hands to get to the bottom rope to break this.
19:04Flair just inches away.
19:06Trying to drag herself to the bottom rope.
19:08And again, and now dragged to the middle of the ring.
19:12Charlotte Flair able to get out of the cloverleaf.
19:14And right back to the injured leg of Rhea Ripley.
19:17And a shot right to the face.
19:28Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair are spent.
19:34The queen only have one more maneuver left in the arsenal.
19:38Trying to set up for the figure four.
19:41And again, Ripley kicking off the queen.
19:45You're good, you're good, Charlotte.
19:48This is the reality that Rhea Ripley asked for.
19:51Going into a cover, into a cover and a kick out by Ripley.
19:59And going into the Boston Crab.
20:03The pressure on the lower back of Rhea Ripley.
20:08No, I'm not champ.
20:09I can stop this match right now.
20:10Is Rhea Ripley gonna tap out to Charlotte Flair?
20:14Wait a minute.
20:15Now into a pinning opportunity.
20:17Charlotte Flair with a cover on the champion.
20:19Ripley, cover on Flair.
20:21Now it's Ripley.
20:22Shoulders pressed to the canvas and a kick out.
20:28Charlotte just continues to advance.
20:31And Ripley doing anything she can to keep a little bit of space between herself and Flair.
20:40It is the tallest mountain that Rhea Ripley has ever had to climb in her career.
20:46And the queen continues to keep Ripley down.
20:51Wait a minute.
20:52And the nightmare surprising Charlotte Flair with a big boot.
20:56Did you see how quickly she popped back up?
20:59And nearly put away the queen at WrestleMania.
21:03I continue to be amazed by the heart, the heart of Rhea Ripley to keep fighting.
21:11But how about the toughness of Charlotte Flair will not go away in this matchup?
21:18You shouldn't expect anything less if you have followed the career of Charlotte Flair,
21:23especially at WrestleMania.
21:29And now Ripley with these open palm strikes right to the midsection.
21:34Let's go.
21:34Come on, baby.
21:36One, two, three.
21:38For the body into the abdomen.
21:41Let's go, bring it up.
21:41Charlotte Flair, whatever she could possibly do.
21:51Come on, let's go.
21:52Let's go, let's go, ladies.
21:52Just having enough strength to hurt Charlotte.
21:57Come on, Rhea, hey, Rhea, come on.
21:59And now Ripley, what is she thinking about here on the top turnbuckle with Charlotte Flair?
22:03Ripley is thinking whatever it takes, whatever it takes to put down the queen.
22:11For Charlotte Flair's bid for the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania.
22:17Flair fighting back.
22:20And instead it's Ripley, set crashing down.
22:24Come on Charlotte.
22:27Flair maneuvering herself on the middle rope.
22:33I think I know what she's thinking, Tom.
22:37Avoided disaster, now sets off of the Moonson and
22:40a kick right to the face by Ripley.
22:42Great counter by Ripley.
22:44Ripley on wobbly legs but gets feared.
22:48Can Charlotte win the championship?
22:51Can she capture her second NXT Women's title?
22:54No.
22:54How in the world did Ripley kick out?
22:59She came up in two, Charlotte.
23:02What's the impact of the spear from Charlotte Flair?
23:07Incredible move but still Charlotte Flair could not put away Ripley.
23:12And now going back to the leg.
23:14And now Charlotte Flair trying to go- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
23:17Cover by Ripley and a kick out.
23:20And again, picks the leg, trying to step through and set up for the figure four.
23:24There it is, center of the ring.
23:27This is a bad situation for Rhea Ripley.
23:31This could be the beginning of the end for Rhea Ripley.
23:33The left leg of Rhea Ripley has been so heavily damaged throughout this fight.
23:37But look at Ripley, she will not quit.
23:40Ripley fighting till the end against the queen.
23:44Now Charlotte Flair, look at her, she's sitting back.
23:46She's trying to bridge into the figure eight.
