00:00THIS IS WHAT WE'VE EVER SAID!
00:30The following contest is settled for one fall. Introducing first, from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea Ripley!
00:42Rhea Ripley-Wade who has found out a lot about the Women's Champion Jay Cargo in recent weeks.
00:49Been well over a year since Rhea has held singles world championship.
00:52Now just a couple weeks away from getting a chance at returning and having gold in her hand.
00:58Yeah, we've just seen a major curveball thrown the way of Cody Rhodes courtesy of Pat McAfee.
01:05This is a woman who had some curveballs thrown her own way in recent weeks.
01:10Why? Because it's all at stake in two weeks time at WrestleMania.
01:15WWE Women's Championship on the line as Jay Cargill defends against Rhea bloody Ripley.
01:29Only a few weeks ago she said to Jay, my body is built different, built for fighting.
01:34That has been tested to the limits in recent weeks with everything that Jay Cargill has put forth and who
01:43is aligning with her.
01:44Great reception here in St. Louis for Rhea Ripley.
01:49Let me sleep mean every day.
01:53The Demons in your dreams. I need sleep mean.
02:17And her opponents, accompanied by B-Pattern from Fontan, California,
02:26Meechian!
02:28Well, Meechian, just three weeks ago, was the rival opponent to Jade Cargo,
02:32who will be opposite Rhea Ripley in a couple weeks in Vegas,
02:35then brokered the deal, plotting, and Meechian has been, by her side, damaging Rhea Wade.
02:40Yeah, this was last week. Ripley's supposed to be taking on B-Found.
02:44The match did not last long because things broke down in a hurry.
02:49And this was the match that got thrown out after this attack from Jade Cargo.
02:53Now Jade Cargo et al. sending a major message to Rhea Ripley with one jaded.
03:02And if that connects at WrestleMania in two weeks' time, it will be a successful defense for Cargo.
03:11Now last week we heard from Meechian when she was very pointed and directed at Rhea and saying,
03:16Listen, I've been grinding for decades just like you. We've been putting in the work just like you.
03:21And we're the ones that are forgotten. She's sick and tired of it.
03:24Yeah, she feels that Jade Cargo has given Meechian an opportunity to put herself in the spotlight.
03:30An opportunity never afforded to her by Rhea Ripley.
03:35Now these two do have some historical beef going all the way back to the time when Meechian was part
03:41of the OC alongside AJ Styles.
03:43And of course, Rhea Ripley was part of damage control. Excuse me. Judgment Day. Let me get that one right.
03:52Well that leg drive by Rhea Ripley when she plants that shoulder in there, it is something.
03:56Yeah. Unbridled power belonging to the Aussie multiple-time world champion, Rhea Ripley, who has a tendency to hit top
04:08form in WrestleMania season.
04:10Now she's hitting top form early on here. She is amped up, hallway slams. She has been in complete control
04:15early on here against Meechian.
04:17And look who arrives. Suddenly the entire energy in this arena has shifted. And this is where Rhea Ripley needs
04:27to stay laser focused on the task in hand.
04:30And not allow distractions to pull her away from this match.
04:34WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargo. There is a distraction that cost her. Release German as Meechian takes advantage.
04:51Two weeks ago, Jade Cargo, the Women's Champion, called out Rhea Ripley.
04:55Meechian with the cover there. And B-Fab and Meechian shockingly joined in and attacking Rhea Ripley.
05:01Last week, Rhea had a match against B-Fab. It dissolved again into an attack by those three.
05:06Now, it's Meechian who's been in control attacking Rhea consistently with strikes and kicks and controlling this match here in
05:14St. Louis.
05:14Yeah, Meechian's been an absolute menace since this match started. Aided and abetted by the two ladies on the outside.
05:21WWE Women's Champ Jade Cargill and, of course, the vicious B-Fab who have helped attack Rhea Ripley behind the
05:30referee's back on more than one occasion in this match.
05:33Rhea trying to power up and as she does. What a great counter into the suplex.
05:38Well, it's felt at times like mission impossible for Rhea Ripley thanks to the activities of those on the outside
05:45of the ring.
05:46But with this kind of power, this kind of resolve, you cannot write off Rhea Ripley two weeks before that
05:54massive showdown at WrestleMania with the champ, Jade Cargill.
05:58You see that kind of strength, that kind of power out of Rhea Ripley, and then you think about the
06:01match that could be coming our way in Vegas against Jade Cargill.
06:05And now center of the ring towing the line right hand after right hand, chop after chop, as Rhea tries
06:10to fight her blade right back into this.
06:12I'll tell you right now, Michin is the most hardcore woman in the division, but simply cannot match power with
06:20Rhea Ripley.
06:21And you're getting a sense of it here, just slamming down Michin.
06:26And of course, Ripley's opponent at WrestleMania getting a ringside view of just how damn good Rhea bloody Ripley can
06:36be.
06:40Michin able to escape for a moment.
06:45Oh, and that big mommy headbutt.
06:49Fighting fire with fire, Rhea Ripley are now perhaps ready to put Michin to the sword.
06:55In position, looking for the razor's edge.
07:04Oh, and that big running knee.
07:12And somehow, Michin survives.
07:15Yeah, that is absolutely astounding when you look at the double whammy of offense.
07:20This razor's edge followed up by this running kick to the jaw.
07:24How the hell Michin kicks out of that?
07:27I will never know, but Michin is doubled off.
07:30But wait up, Joe.
07:31Oh, good luck dealing with this.
07:35Riptide couldn't land.
07:37Instead, Michin able to slam her down.
07:39Great reflexes from Michin there.
07:42And it had to be, because that was game over.
07:49Rhea just finding the exit in time.
07:54And Rhea as groggy as they come, but still throwing those capoeira type strikes at her opponent.
08:02And things suddenly look very bleak indeed for Michin here.
08:05And then powering her right back.
08:07Oh, and a great counter by Michin.
08:11Spiked on the top of her head is Rhea Ripley.
08:14And Rhea's wobble.
08:15It defeat couldn't be Michin.
08:22Rhea bloody Ripley.
08:24Never doubt her.
08:25And that would have been the biggest win of Michin's career.
08:29And what a shocker it would have been for Rhea Ripley, who is living dangerously here.
08:34What a reversal from this attempted perhaps electric chair.
08:40But turning to eat defeat.
08:42Big of many opponents with that.
08:44It didn't work tonight.
08:45Not against Ripley, but this might.
08:47And you think to see Jade Cargill sitting ringside getting a good look as Michin.
08:54Oh, but Rhea.
08:56Back body.
08:58And all of a sudden how quickly things can turn.
09:01Ripley refusing to be denied here.
09:03They're looking for that prism trap.
09:06Prism trap.
09:08Locked in.
09:09They haven't seen that for some time.
09:11There it is.
09:12Tap out.
09:13As she looks through Jade Cargill and doesn't release it.
09:19And now B-Fab gets right in there against Ripley.
09:26She's staring a hole through her soon to be championship opponent.
09:30Oh!
09:31Cut down from behind.
09:32Just a numbers game once again.
09:35Laser focused on her opponent at WrestleMania, Jade Cargill.
09:39But now getting mugged by B-Fab and Michin.
09:45It is impossible to defend yourself against women as vicious as this.
09:52And now we've seen three straight weeks of this.
09:54For three straight weeks.
09:56It has been Jade Cargill.
10:00It has been Jade Cargill.
10:01Just in time.
10:05EO Sky.
10:07Rhea's closest, dearest ally.
10:11There will be no Jade in right now.
10:14Well, just in the nick of time.
10:18For Rhea bloody Ripley.
10:20No final woman for the job.
10:25Synchronized drop kicks.
10:33EO Sky.
10:36Just when Mami needed her most.
10:38Taking a little vacation from Raw to head over here to the blue brand
10:43and help Mami out.
10:46And Jade Cargill did not like a taste of her own medicine
10:50just two weeks before that showdown at WrestleMania.
10:56Here in St. Louis.
11:04Excuse me, Rhea.
11:06You've been outnumbered ever since Jade recruited Michin and B-Fab.
11:10Was EO showing up tonight a proactive way of evening the odds ahead of WrestleMania?
11:16Come on, Kath.
11:18I mean, week after week, Jade has proved to me that she can't do this on her own.
11:23But the thing is, she didn't think that I had a backup plan.
11:26The difference between Jade and I is, she has followers.
11:31Well, me?
11:33I got friends.
11:35Best friends.
11:38So, no matter what, I will always have your back, Rhea.
11:46And look, I'm always going to have yours too.
11:48And when we're together, we're bloody unstoppable.
11:52And that is exactly why, when it comes to WrestleMania,
11:56I will be walking out the new women's champion.
12:02Catch you later.
