00:00I need sleep pain, the demons in your dreams, I need sleep pain.
00:14The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:18Introducing first, from Italy, South Australia, Rhea Ripley!
00:27Rhea Ripley-Wade, who has found out a lot about the women's champion, Jay Cargo, in recent weeks.
00:34It's been well over a year since Rhea has held a single world championship.
00:37Now, just a couple weeks away from getting a chance at returning and having gold in her hand.
00:44Yeah, we've just seen a major curveball thrown the way of Cody Rhodes, courtesy of Pat McAfee.
00:50This is a woman who had some curveballs thrown her own way in recent weeks.
00:55Why? Because it's all at stake in two weeks' time at WrestleMania WWE Women's Championship on the line
01:04as Jay Cargill defends against Rhea, bloody Ripley.
01:14Only a few weeks ago she said to Jay,
01:17my body is built different, it's built for fighting.
01:20That has been tested to the limits in recent weeks
01:23with everything that Jay Cargill has put forth
01:27and who is aligning with her.
01:29Great reception here in St. Louis for Rhea Ripley.
01:35I need Steve Bede.
01:38I need Steve Bede.
01:38The demons in your dreams.
01:40I need Steve Bede.
01:45I need Steve Bede.
01:45I need Steve Bede.
01:48Come on.
01:50Yeah.
01:52I am, I am, I am.
01:54I am the one who's in my heart.
01:56I'm the one who's in my heart.
01:56You know, you know.
01:57I got beauty in that peace.
01:59I got me.
02:00You're in the fear.
02:01You're in the nervous way.
02:03And her opponent, accompanied by B-Fan,
02:07from Fontana, California,
02:11Meechan!
02:13Well, Meechan just three weeks ago
02:15was the rival opponent to Jade Cargill,
02:17who will be opposite Rhea Ripley
02:19in a couple weeks in Vegas,
02:20then brokered the deal, plotting,
02:22and Meechan has been, by her side,
02:24damaging Rhea Wade.
02:25Yeah, this is last week.
02:27Ripley's supposed to be taking on B-Fan.
02:29The match did not last long
02:31because things broke down in a hurry.
02:34And this was the match
02:35that got thrown out after this attack
02:37from Jade Cargill.
02:39Now, Jade Cargill et al
02:41sending a major message
02:42to Rhea Ripley
02:45with one jaded.
02:47And if that connects at WrestleMania
02:49in two weeks' time,
02:50it will be a successful defense
02:52for Cargill.
02:56Now, last week we heard
02:58from Meechan
02:59when she was very pointed
03:00and directed at Rhea
03:01and saying,
03:02listen, I've been grinding
03:03for decades just like you.
03:05We've been putting in the work
03:05just like you.
03:06And we're the ones
03:08that are forgotten.
03:08She's sick and tired of it.
03:10Yeah, she feels that
03:11Jade Cargill
03:12has given Meechan
03:13an opportunity
03:14to put herself
03:14in the spotlight.
03:15An opportunity
03:16never afforded to her
03:18by Rhea Ripley.
03:20Now, these two
03:21do have some historical beef
03:23going all the way
03:24back to the time
03:24when Meechan
03:25was part of the OC
03:27alongside AJ Styles
03:28and, of course,
03:29Rhea Ripley
03:30was part of damage control.
03:32Excuse me.
03:34Judgment Day.
03:35Let me get that one right.
03:37Well, that leg drive
03:38by Rhea Ripley
03:39when she plants
03:40that shoulder in there
03:41is something.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Unbridled power
03:44belonging
03:46to the Aussie
03:47multiple-time
03:48world champion
03:49Rhea Ripley
03:50who has a tendency
03:52to hit top form
03:54in WrestleMania season.
03:55Now, she's hitting top form
03:56early on here.
03:57She is amped up
03:58all-way slam.
03:59She has been
03:59in complete control
04:01early on here
04:01against Meechan.
04:03And look who arrives!
04:05Suddenly,
04:06the entire energy
04:07in this arena
04:08has shifted
04:09and this is where
04:11Rhea Ripley
04:12needs to stay
04:13laser-focused
04:14on the task in hand
04:15and not allow
04:17distractions
04:17to pull her away
04:19from this match.
04:20WWE Women's Champion
04:22Jade Cargol.
04:23There is a distraction
04:24that cost her.
04:26Release German
04:27as Meechan
04:28takes advantage.
04:29Go!
04:30Go!
04:33Go!
04:33Go!
04:33Go!
04:40Go!
04:50Go!

04:57wwe champ joe tess you have a tendency to say nasty things about jay cargill watch watch your mouth
05:08jay cargill hovering here ringside is yeah and you're nervous about that right joe tess
05:13you're watching what's right off to your right hand two powerful ladies to buy us at ringside
05:18they're a little unpredictable imagine how rhea ripley feels about it here's the cover
05:28mitchin doing a hell of a job was given that upper hand in this match thanks to that arrival of
05:33jay cargill and now has pounced all over ripley ever since the behind the referees back shots
05:40from bfab here bfab lands a big right hand then jay just mocking and talking to her soon-to-be
05:48championship opponent just a coordinated attack on rhea bloody ripley this is essentially three
05:54on one behind the referees back here you might not like it but it's highly effective look at the leg
06:00we're going to put it away here and could you imagine joe if mitchin pulls off the unthinkable
06:08here and earns a victory against rhea ripley what would that do for mitchin's career
06:15incredible just stretching around look at the position that she's got her in now a nice modified
06:21surfboard here just cranking the lower back of rhea ripley who is in a bad bad way now
06:29and the game plan of jay cargill has been absolutely masterful here
06:46so much of the emotion we heard and the reality from mitchin a week ago is manifesting here in this
06:52attack against rhea ripley as she sends her into the corner and rhea just able to get out of the
06:57way
06:57and the roll up and mitchin survives here the two count the part of the pro big shoulder tackle
07:04right into the control cover part of the issue when you're taking on someone like rhea ripley as
07:08they are never truly down and out even when you've got everything stacked in your favor you simply cannot
07:14relent for a split second because immediately firing back will be the eradicator
07:30once again just a small window opens and immediately with heavy artillery going the way of mitchin
07:38is rhea ripley
07:51two weeks ago jade cargo the women's champion called out rhea ripley
07:55mitchin with the cover there and b fab and mitchin shockingly joined in attacking rhea ripley last week
08:02rhea had a match against b fab it dissolved again into an attack by those three now
08:07it's mitchin who's been in control attacking rhea consistently with strikes and kicks and controlling
08:14this match here in st louis yeah mitchin's been an absolute menace since this match started aided
08:20and abetted by the two ladies on the outside wwe women's champ jade cargill and of course the vicious
08:26b fab who have helped attack rhea ripley behind the referees back on more than one occasion in this match
08:33rhea trying to power up and actually does what a great counter into the suplex well it's felt at
08:40times like mission impossible for rhea ripley thanks to the activities of those on the outside of the
08:46rainbow with this kind of power this kind of resolve you cannot write off rhea ripley two weeks before
08:54that massive showdown at wrestlemania with the champ jade cargo you see that kind of strength that kind of
09:00power out of rhea ripley and then you think about the match that could be coming our way in vegas
09:04against jade cargo and now center of the ring towing the line right hand after right hand chop after
09:09chop as rhea tries to fight her blade right back into this i'll tell you right now mitchin is the
09:15most
09:15hardcore woman in the division but simply cannot match power with rhea ripley and you're getting a
09:22sense of it here just slamming down mitchin and of course ripley's opponent at wrestlemania getting a
09:31ringside view of just how damn good rhea bloody ripley can be
09:41mitchin able to escape for a moment oh and that big mommy headbutt fighting fire with fire
09:51rhea ripley and now perhaps ready to put mitchin to the sword in position looking for the razor's edge
10:04and delivers oh and that big running knee
10:12and somehow mitchin survives yeah that is absolutely astounding when you look at the
10:18double whammy of offense this razor's edge followed up by this running kick to the jaw
10:24how the hell mitchin kicks out of that i will never know but mitchin is doubled off
10:30but wait up joe good luck dealing with this
10:35riptide couldn't land instead mitchin able to slam her down great reflexes from mitchin there
10:42and it had to be because that was game over
10:50rhea just finding the exit in time
10:54and rhea as groggy as they come but still throwing those capoeira type strikes
11:00at her opponent and things suddenly look very bleak indeed for mitchin here
11:06and then powering her right back oh what a great counter
11:11spiked on the top of her head is rhea ripley and rhea's wobble
11:15eat defeat could it be mitchin
11:22rhea bloody ripley never doubt her
11:25and that would have been the biggest win of mitchin's career and what a shocker it would have been for
11:32rhea ripley who is living dangerously here what a reversal
11:36from this attempted perhaps electric chair but turning to eat defeat
11:42bigger many opponents with that it didn't work tonight not against ripley but this might
11:48and you think
11:49to see jade cargill
11:51sitting ringside getting a good look
11:53as mitchin
11:54oh but rhea
11:56back body
11:58and all of a sudden how quickly things can turn

12:11there it is
12:12tap out
12:13as she looks through jade cargill and doesn't release it
12:19and now b-fab gets right in there against ripley
