00:00Oh, of course, you're going to be... Oh, hey!
00:04Congratulations, Stefan.
00:06But like I said, I'm still coming for that championship.
00:09Mommy, I'm ready.
00:12Oi, what's up? This is the champion!
00:18You should be a champion. You don't deserve to be a champion.
00:22Actually, she does, and she's going to be an amazing champion.
00:25Any time you want to fight, I will prove to you why I am the champion.
00:35Oi, are you ready? This is your champion!
00:40Yeah, Asuka.
00:42Out of respect for Io, I've been trying my best to stay out of your way.
00:46But I'm so sick and tired of your attitude.
00:51I'm sick of you, Ria.
00:53And you better stay away from Io.
00:57Or I will show you why you are not ready for Asuka.
01:03I'm not ready.
01:04See, the funny thing is I am ready, Asuka.
01:07So why don't we settle this in the ring tonight?
01:13You're around.
01:19You are...
01:20I'm not ready.
01:28Oh my god.
01:30Ria...
01:34Are we even allowed to be around each other?
01:38Will, this is important
01:40Look, okay, I'm really sorry about Wrestle Palooza
01:44Thank you
01:46Will, I need you to call off the match
01:50Io, I'm sick of Oscar being disrespectful
01:54Look, I'm really sorry about the match
01:56It has to happen
01:57Look, think of it this way
01:59Maybe Oscar and I, we can beat the respect into each other
02:02Kind of like what we did
02:05Fine
02:09Io, just please be careful around Oscar
02:16Wait, what do you mean?
02:19Oscar is family
02:20I get it, Oscar is family
02:23And that's why it hurts even more when you can't trust your own family
02:26Io, please, believe me, I know all about it
02:30Then, you know I wouldn't be here without Oscar
02:34I can trust her
02:35Can I trust you?
02:39Io, that's not what I meant
02:44Patience
02:45This is what you don't say
02:59I need sleep, babe
03:01Like demons in your dreams
03:04I need sleep, babe
03:13And her opponent
03:15From Adelaide, South Australia
03:18Maria Ripley
03:24The Royal Rialto
03:24I thought we peaked the Wrestle Blues
03:26I really did
03:27For Kerr Sky
03:28Does it get any better than that, does it?
03:31But
03:31Two days later, the hits just keep coming
03:34You see all those bones out for a moment like this
03:38Maria Ripley and all the intensity she brings
03:42We've seen it time and again, who was fighting for the women's world title in that thrilling
03:48triple-threaded SummerSlam when Naomi retained, showing admiration and support for Io Sky,
03:56but things took a turn tonight, Asuka pushed too hard, too far, and there's no turning
04:03back.
04:04Rhea Ripley is ready.
04:08The unadulterated face of women's wrestling in 2025, with or without the gold, arguably
04:17the face of wrestling itself, Rhea Ripley, the three-time world champion.
04:35Rhea Ripley is ready.
05:02Rhea Ripley is ready.
05:08The entrance.
05:09Boy, does the world love Rhea Ripley.
05:12Asuka right on the attack.
05:17And striking combination from Asuka.
05:20She's immediately going to the back of the left leg.
05:23Yes!
05:24I have my stats guy pulled something up.
05:26These two have competed several times in the past, but to be clear, one-on-one.
05:30A pin combination from Asuka.
05:32Asuka has never defeated Rhea Ripley, so it needed a hot start from Asuka, but it didn't
05:39work, and immediately, mommy's on top.
05:42The two times they met for the WWE women's, excuse me, three times they've met.
05:48Oh, Ripley 2-0.
05:50One of those was a no contest, but to your point, Ripley has gotten the best of her with
05:54those title matches.
06:02The Empress of Tomorrow has been in control.
06:05Asuka taking advantage of Rhea Ripley early on as Rhea looks to turn things around, but
06:09you see how effective she was with the beating she took moments ago.
06:12Well, welcome to the Asuka show.
06:14It has been pure Empress of Tomorrow from the word go in this one, and struggling to
06:19really get a foothold in it has been Rhea Ripley.
06:22When was the last time you could say that?
06:24Oh, that dragon screw right through the ropes.
06:27Wade, and that right leg taking damage.
06:31Well, what a smart move there by Asuka.
06:33The bigger, more powerful superstar.
06:36Take her off her feet, shred some ligaments.
06:38Suddenly, she ain't so big and scary.
06:41Look at her just talking right to her face.
06:43A reminder of what is coming your way on Friday night SmackDown.
06:46So much to be determined with Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargore, Nia Jax,
06:49who will face Stephanie Becker at Crown Jewel for the Women's Championship.
06:53That's only two and a half weeks away, but Friday is going to determine so much.
06:57Lose the requirement, and Stephanie Becker has said she will be in attendance this Friday
07:01at SmackDown for that massive triple threat matchup.
07:04But turn it on, massive.
07:06We've got a massive match on our hands right now.
07:08And Rhea Ripley is suddenly moving through the gears.
07:13Look at the speed.
07:14Look at the power.
07:15Look at the brutality, as she would say.
07:18The tap lead.
07:20Ripcord kick to the jaw.
07:22Oh, and that drop kick.
07:25Rhea Ripley's awoken, and so has this audience.
07:31Rhea Ripley bridging, arching, and that right shoulder getting up by Asuka.
07:37Rhea Ripley is so well-rounded.
07:40Used to be, in everyone's estimation, a power wrestler.
07:43Now she has it all.
07:45The technique, too.
07:47And, of course, durability for days.
07:52A certain wrath living inside her body that takes her to places most women will never reach.
07:58Trying to set up the razor's edge there.
08:01Oh, and right back to that leg is Asuka.
08:04Such a veteran move of awareness by Asuka.
08:08One, two, three.
08:10And able to kick out is Rhea.
08:12I mean, this has been 90% Asuka dominating this matchup.
08:18And that literally never happens to Rhea Ripley.
08:22And at this point in a match with a damaged wheel, starting to question her own abilities must be Rhea
08:29Ripley.
08:30By the way, you see that headline across the bottom of your screen moments ago.
08:32With Jay Uso getting the best of LA Knight.
08:35And then the Vision coming in to attack.
08:37And it was Jimmy Uso who came to the defense.
08:40We will have a rematch of that Wrestle Pelusa tag team match next week on Raw on Netflix.
08:45And it's a tornado tag team match.
08:47Ripley's having a fight for her life here.
08:49And it's a fight she appears to be losing.
08:52Asuka just has all the answers.
08:54And that kick right to the midsection.
08:56And now working that leg again.
08:59Best striker in the women's division is Asuka.
09:04And then switched by Rhea trying to get the best in position herself.
09:07Back and forth they go.
09:08Who will get the leverage they need.
09:11Ripley holds on to that rope.
09:12And it comes in with the big boot.
09:15Just on time is Rhea Ripley when she needed it.
09:19The limb length.
09:21Short cut to success.
09:23To the floor she goes.
09:26And Asuka took all that damage.
09:30Turning point for Rhea Ripley.
09:39Asuka has just countered moments ago against Rhea Ripley with that ankle lock weight.
09:43Well that is how dangerous Asuka really is.
09:46A technical wizard.
09:47And when it looked like it was turning into the Rhea Ripley show.
09:51Just like that Asuka grabbed control.
09:56Back and forth they have gone.
09:58Swinging all over the place.
10:00Two women at the very top of this industry.
10:03Two women who knows.
10:04You know what it's like to hold that goal.
10:07Four times a world champion is Asuka.
10:09Three times Rhea Ripley.
10:12They have gone back and forth in recent weeks.
10:15And Rhea's patience was tested.
10:18With the way Asuka was managing and handling things with Io Sky.
10:22Tonight it went too far.
10:24Asuka may well have burnt herself out in the early goings of this one.
10:27Almost a rope-a-dope strategy from Rhea Ripley.
10:31Rhea's up top.
10:32Superplex.
10:33Did you hear and see the impact that both took?
10:36Well that is not a common move for Rhea Ripley.
10:38She landed very high on the neck and shoulder.
10:41She's grabbing the spine up at the moment.
10:42Watch the landing of Ripley.
10:44You don't want to land quite as high on the back as she did there.
10:48But of course Asuka taking an even worse landing on that one.
10:51Just the way that rotation was.
10:54And you saw the upper back of Rhea Ripley crashing down.
10:59So both of the competitors are looking to rally up here.
11:02Talked about a little earlier.
11:04That shot to the knee of Ripley earlier is clearly thrown off again slightly.
11:08And she's struggling to get back to a regular form ever since.
11:13It is that left leg that Asuka was targeting throughout the middle of this match.
11:18As they trade in the center of the ring.
11:21Strike after strike.
11:23You don't want to trade with a bigger, stronger superstar like Ripley.
11:27But you do.
11:28Oh look at this.
11:29Look at this by Asuka.
11:30There's a flash pin.
11:32Able to miss with a kick.
11:33Just get away from it.
11:34Both of them trying to bring their best in that spinning elbow.
11:37Connects to the skull of Asuka.
11:39But Asuka shaking off.
11:40Maybe in a glance and blow more than anything.
11:42That one certainly was not.
11:44This is good stuff here.
11:47As Rhea Ripley has Asuka in position.
11:51Razor's edge.
11:52Every bit of it.
11:54Mommy on the attack Wade.
11:56Shout out Damian Priest.
11:58The Terror Twins.
11:59To put it away.
12:00And Asuka survives and gets that left shoulder up.
12:03There's a lot of offense now being absorbed by Asuka.
12:07Another look at this.
12:08Razor's edge.
12:09Straight from Damian Priest's playbook.
12:11Following up with that.
12:12Almost a shining wizard right to the jaw.
12:16But Asuka equal to it.
12:18But for how much longer?
12:20And look at Rhea just dragging Asuka back up.
12:23Grab it while she's going for it.
12:25And here we go Jotess.
12:27Panic stations for Asuka.
12:29Understandably so.
12:30She was thinking Rip Tide.
12:31But instead you got to be so careful.
12:32When she locks it in.
12:34Asuka in position.
12:36Torquing that shoulder.
12:38Trying to snap the arm with the arm bar.
12:40Fully extended now.
12:41The right arm of Rhea Ripley.
12:43Now trying to block just in time.
12:46How can she power up out of this arm bar?
12:48And she somehow is able to turn things around.
12:51And roll through and escape out the side door.
12:54With his arm almost snapped.
12:55Top of the shoulder.
12:57Taking all the damage of that post.
12:59And the KO kick.
13:01Right to the temple.
13:02Lateral press.
13:03Doesn't hook the leg.
13:04And Rhea survives it.
13:07These two women are absolutely spent.
13:10They have thrown everything at each other.
13:14Asuka draped over Rhea.
13:17Asuka draped over Rhea.
13:17They are exhausted.
13:19Two titans of this women's division.
13:21Giving everything they have here on RAW.
13:24Completely partisan ground.
13:27Totally in favor of Rhea Ripley.
13:30But right now that is not helping at all.
13:32As Asuka holds her head in place.
13:35And delivers right kick after right kick.
13:38And comes back for more.
13:39But Rhea catches it.
13:41Rhea takes six kicks for the jaw.
13:43And come back with this.
13:44And that spinning elbow.
13:46And again.
13:46And the spinning kick.
13:47And now the striking attack of Asuka.
13:50Taking up the pace at the right moment with that.
13:53Oh.
13:53Terrible landing there for Asuka.
13:57Rhea Ripley is down and out on the floor.
14:01After absorbing.
14:02So much punishment.
14:04Asuka kid.
14:05He said to Kauri saying take a shot behind the reference back.
14:07She did not do it.
14:08She wouldn't follow orders earlier either.
14:13Kauri saying something seems petrified of violence.
14:17We're in the wrong industry of that show.
14:20She's coming our way.
14:25Slamming her head in the front of this reinforced announce desk.
14:28Let's do this.
14:30Let's do this.
14:30Let's do it.
14:31Hey Rhea.
14:32Hey Rhea.
14:32Oh he's saying he's feeling a head right too.
14:35Bellowing at her.
14:36Help me out here will you please.
14:38I'm assuming that's what Asuka was saying.
14:41That is the order.
14:42And running elbow from Asuka.
14:44Oh Rhea floated her.
14:46she went straight back and a big right forearm came with it
14:53and now Rhea looking to find something but instead it's Asuka locking her up again
14:58going back to that ankle and knee
15:00she was attacking it a little earlier this evening
15:04straight back at it trying to hyper extend that knee
15:08snap it back the wrong way and now transitioning into an ankle lock
15:12she put this on earlier today she had warped on that knee much earlier in the match
15:17and now that ankle lock is set in
15:22right here Rhea Ripley screaming in agony
15:25certainly heard it there
15:27and the end could be nigh for Rhea Ripley
15:31this has turned into all Asuka now
15:35the Empress of Tomorrow lighting her up
15:38oh my oh my Rhea just when she needed it most Wade
15:44oh this is such incredible action take a look at this
15:47first of all Ripley beating Asuka to the punch
15:50then the ankle lock applied turned into a German suplex
15:54and when it looked like Ripley was toast
15:57never racked Mammy off
15:59with one good leg
16:01a pinpoint drop kick to a flying Empress of Tomorrow
16:06that drop kick by Rhea Ripley you see the orders being given out by Asuka again
16:11I don't think Kyrie Zane is capable of executing these orders
16:15that's the issue we've had thus far in the match
16:18Kyrie's thinking about it here though isn't she
16:22she's climbing up onto the apron right next to Rhea
16:25just do it Kyrie
16:29oh Rhea catches it
16:31look a bit too low
16:32oh the Empress impact backfires
16:35roll up by Rhea
16:38Rhea wins it
16:39Rhea wins it
16:42here is your winner
16:46Rhea Ripley
16:47all right Kabuki collision there
16:50oh the mist
16:51points are missed in the ice
16:53the mist is in the ice wave
16:56Rhea gets misted
16:58and sometimes when you win really you lose
17:05losing her eyesight is Rhea Ripley
17:10now Asuka is pointing to Kyrie and saying
17:13now do it as Rhea's been blinded here
17:18and Kyrie is on the attack
17:21and now they both are just beating down on a helpless misted Rhea Rip
17:29Rhea Ripley
17:36EO Sky
17:37long time friend of the Kabuki Warriors that are having tensions
17:41right up
17:45pleading with Asuka not to do this
18:03it looks like potentially a resolution is met
18:11and finally someone was able to talk some sense
18:14into Asuka and indeed Kyrie saying
18:17the damage clearly done already
18:19oh a spinning strike as Asuka turns on EO
18:35no no she's ordering Kyrie as well
18:40to attack
18:53and she is
18:54this is horrible to see
18:58the respect and the trust is long gone
19:01as Rhea Ripley is blinded from the mist in the eye
19:05oh and now Kyrie his
19:08another liner up Rhea's trying to get back to her feet
