00:16The following is a tag team match
00:30The former tag champs are in action. Rhea's back on Raw. Tag action live next.
00:52Corey, it's good to see Rhea back on Raw.
00:55Of course, she's been busy over on Friday night SmackDown, won the Elimination Chamber,
00:59and has the opportunity now to face the Storm.
01:02Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship a week from Saturday at WrestleMania.
01:08A showdown between two of the most physical women this game has ever seen.
01:14The bright lights of Las Vegas. Can mommy capture more gold?
01:21And the granddaddy of them all?
01:23Well, it's gonna be interesting. I mean, Rhea's got a lot of experience at WrestleMania.
01:28Jade Cargill defending the championship for the very first time in her career at WrestleMania,
01:33a singles title.
01:37Listen, Rhea understands there is a tall task ahead of her,
01:40but this is also the same woman who has been in the ring with the Queen Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
01:47Rhea Ripley has experienced WrestleMania championship matches,
01:51the highest levels of this game.
01:53Trust me, mommy will be ready, come Las Vegas.
01:56The highest levels.
01:59The highest levels.
02:02By the WWE Women's Champion, Jay Cargill.
02:08The T-Long, B-Bag, and Mean Chain.
02:19He's in the ring getting set for this tag match.
02:25Rhea Ripley involved as well.
02:27You see Jade Cargill out there, the current WWE Champion.
02:31Rhea and Jay on a collision course for the WWE Women's title at WrestleMania.
02:39Corey, I still cannot figure out this whole relationship between B-Fab,
02:44who's gonna start this match off against Rhea Ripley and Meechan, and Jade Cargill.
02:48They were bitter enemies for the longest time.
02:51You ever hear the old saying, if you can't beat him, join him, Cole?
02:54Ooh, Meechan, B-Fab got tired of being dominated by the Storm,
02:59of suffering at the hands of Jade Cargill.
03:02And they finally realized it's better to align ourselves with a champion to be part of
03:07the Storm than to be run over by it.
03:09Rhea Ripley with a score to settle after what happened this past Friday on SmackDown.
03:12She had a match with Meechan, and after the matchup, B-Fab and Jade Cargill beat down Rhea
03:18before Io Sky helped out her old friend.
03:24Rhea.
03:25Ooh, B-Fab.
03:26Meechan out to the feet of the champion.
03:28And B-Fab taking advantage, looking for the, no, cover.
03:30Several right hands.
03:33You know, I find it difficult to believe Jade Cargill talks a lot about herself,
03:37how she is the business, and she is the champion, and she is the Storm,
03:42yet she's gotta surround herself with B-Fab and Meechan now,
03:45and her henchwomen, as I've called them.
03:47Yeah, maybe you should stop calling them henchwomen, Cole.
03:50How about something a little more creative, a little more clever, less insulting?
03:53A couple of baddies out here in support of Jade Cargill.
03:56And here's the cover on Rhea and a kickout.
03:59Well, they're doing Cargill's bidding.
04:01There's no doubt about that.
04:02And I'd love to know what the deal was that was made between the champ and these two.
04:06Well, you wonder.
04:07I'll ask.
04:08You want me to ask?
04:08I don't wanna bother Jade.
04:09Jade's right here.
04:10I don't wanna bother her.
04:11She's busy doing championship things right now.
04:14I'm sorry.
04:15Because she'd tell you to shut up.
04:17Look, I'm an expert analyst.
04:18I'm analyzing the situation accurately.
04:20I don't wanna get slapped, so I'm not gonna ask her any questions.
04:23Last legend already told you to shut up earlier.
04:25She smells fantastic, though, Cole.
04:26I gotta be honest.
04:29Okay.
04:30Snap there by Rhea.
04:33Nice kick to B-Fab.
04:35And what this is is Jade Cargill has an opportunity to look up close and personal.
04:39Tag made to Io at Rhea Ripley.
04:42Potentially plan her game for WrestleMania.
04:45Jade knows she's gonna be in for a fight.
04:47Beautiful takedown fight.
04:48What a stop.
04:50Jade knows it's not gonna be easy.
04:52She's not gonna just roll through Las Vegas and roll out unscathed.
04:56Jade Cargill's preparing for the match of her career because she knows Rhea will bring it.
05:00I'm not sure.
05:01Ooh!
05:02Jade Cargill is thinking that way.
05:04I think she has no issue with beating Ripley.
05:07You hear that, champ?
05:08Michael Cole doesn't think you're worried.
05:11She can't hear me.
05:12It's loud in here.
05:13I think she would agree with me on that point, Corey.
05:15Nonetheless, changes to the sky with a missile drop kick.
05:20I'm surprised Io's able to keep her focus after what we just heard from Asuka.
05:25Threatening to teach Io one final lesson.
05:28I don't think Io sweats Asuka either.
05:32Io Sky now.
05:34Suicide die!
05:36I think I gave Rosenberg a heart attack.
05:39Maybe he should talk to her.
05:42Well, this is what I want to hear.
05:43Io! Io! Io! Io! Io!
05:53Man, it's been a great crowd, an incredible night.
05:5612 nights away from WrestleMania in Houston.
05:58Nearly 12,000 on hand at the Toyota Center.
06:01And Io Sky and Rhea Ripley together again against Meechan and BFAP.
06:06Jade Cargill, the WWE champ out here as well.
06:09And listen, I understand that Io and Rhea have had a great deal of success in the past.
06:12Former women's tag team champions.
06:14But Meechan and BFAP...
06:15Oh!
06:16Set out powerbomb.
06:18Stack up.
06:19Kick out.
06:20Meechan and BFAP are a newly forged unit.
06:23Thus, they've been training together a lot lately.
06:25They've been spending a ton of time under the tutelage of Jade Cargill.
06:28Training, trying to come up with tag team strategy.
06:31They are arguably the fresher of the two duos in this matchup.
06:35Another cover attempt by Meechan.
06:38Look at the confidence of Meechan right now.
06:41It's like aligning herself with Jade and BFAP has done something.
06:45This could prove to be greatly beneficial to both women's careers.
06:50Beautiful double suplex here, covered by BFAP.
06:56BFAP has just improved leaps and bounds over the last couple of years here in WWE.
07:01And we talked about it earlier tonight when it comes to Lash Legend.
07:04We knew Lash hadn't cooled.
07:06We were just waiting for her to sort of get comfortable and find that confidence.
07:09Maybe that's all BFAP has needed this whole time.
07:11The confidence to know that she's where she belongs.
07:16Right now BFAP is dominating the genius of the sky.
07:25And he whipped into the corner and there's the witness of sky.
07:29Roll up and a kick out.
07:32What do you expect out of the Rhea Jade match at WrestleMania?
07:36Again, another cover by BFAP and a kick out again.
07:39I think it's got all the potential to be one of the most physical women's matches in wrestling history.
07:45Not just WrestleMania history, not just WWE history.
07:47I'm talking about two powerhouses.
07:50Two physical specimens who are ruthless, especially when there's gold on the line.
07:55There's not going to be a lot of headlocks in this one.
07:57No, hey, by no means am I expecting a technical masterpiece.
08:01I think it could get downright ugly.
08:03That's what makes me so excited.
08:05Cover by Meechan.
08:06And perhaps a bit arrogant, especially when you're dealing with somebody as decorated and dangerous as Eoskai.
08:12You know, you mentioned earlier how important this match is for Jade, biggest match of her career.
08:16What about for Rhea Ripley, who has made this, she's a badass, right?
08:20She's put everybody on notice for the past number of years.
08:23But what if she is bested by Cargill at WrestleMania?
08:27Does that destroy the aura of Rhea Ripley?
08:29If it happens at WrestleMania, absolutely yes it does.
08:32This is one of the most dominant females in recent WWE history.
08:36If Jade beats Rhea at WrestleMania, we've got a new top dog in the division.
08:43Oh!
08:50How impressed have you been with B-Fab and Meechan in this tag match against the former tag team champion?
08:56Haven't you been listening to me since the bell rang call?
08:58It's all I've done is wax poetic about the improvement of B-Fab and Meechan since aligning themselves with Jade
09:06Cargill becoming part of the Storm themselves.
09:10He'll try to make a tag and a nice clothesline delivery.
09:13Confidence can often times be the missing ingredient in this game.
09:17You can know all the moves, you can have all the strategy.
09:18And a cheap shot.
09:20But it's once you start believing in yourself, you become dangerous.
09:24Look at this, B-Fab under the skin of Rhea Ripley.
09:27And allows a double team now as the official Jessica Carr is dealing with Rhea.
09:34And there's no doubt that Meechan has been one of the most dangerous competitors for a number of years here
09:40in WWE.
09:42Her striking powers.
09:44Uh-oh, look at Jade!
09:45He's in Jade Cargill!
09:47Goes right after her WrestleMania opponent and doesn't allow Io to make a tag.
09:53Jessica Carr busy admonishing.
09:56Oh!
09:57Meechan and B-Fab.
10:01And now B-Fab looking at playing Io Skyler.
10:04Turns it into a pinning combination.
10:06Io picks up the win!
10:09Here are your winners!
10:11The team of Rhea!
10:14Oh, ho, ho, man!
10:16Oh, you expected this to happen.
10:18Jade Cargill picking her spot and now directing traffic as Meechan and B-Fab beat down Io Sky.
10:28Cargill calling the shots, letting B-Fab and Meechan do the heavy lifting tonight.
10:33Well, we know how comfortable Meechan is with kendo sticks, right?
10:37Oh, do we ever-
10:39And Rhea Ripley!
10:40Oh, ho!
10:41With a shot to the champ!
10:44The eradicator with the headbutt!
10:48Oh, and Jade Cargill takes advantage.
10:56Cargill now imposing her will on a WrestleMania challenger.
11:00And now look at this, Rhea Ripley trapped.
11:02A three-on-one situation.
11:05Cargill!
11:06Ready to take out Ripley!
11:08Grab my leg!
11:10Fight me!
11:11Hit me!
11:12Hit me!
11:14Hit me!
11:15Hit me!
11:16Hit me!
11:17Hit me!
11:18Hit me!
11:18Hit me!
11:20Hit me!
11:20Hit me!
11:23Hit me!
11:24Hit me!
11:26Hit me!
11:28Hit me!
11:32Hit me!
11:33Hit me!
11:35Hit me!
11:36Rhea's defenseless here.
11:38Begging Cargill to hit her.
11:41And Jade Espakos after Rhea Skye.
11:44And Rhea helpless.
11:46Rhea's got to watch as Jade Cargill unloads on her best friend with a kendo stick.
11:51Look at the shape of the kendo stick.
11:53Ripped apart against the flesh of Eoskye.
11:57I don't think anybody can deny at this point that Jade Cargill is in Rhea's head.
12:02Yeah!
12:05Jaden.
12:07Will that be the fate of Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania?
12:21Rhea Ripley, Corey, may have met her match.
12:27Only time will tell.
12:30But there is a storm headed for Las Vegas with Rhea Ripley's name on it.
12:37Ripley attending to her best friend Eoskye.
12:41Rhea had to watch as Eoskye was decimated by Jade Cargill.
12:49Trivers!
12:49Do you know who We are?
12:51Clined!
12:52Oh, do you ever get caught?
12:52Oh, no 20th相irk.
12:54No 20th.
12:54I said no 20th, I was gonna every exposure to ensuring the dressing room.
12:55needed to purify what we need to do.
12:56Can Scott O N will never really downtown,
12:56so she will associate to Rhea and Mar Shine?
