00:00Senpai or her senior in the Ko-Li system, Io Sky being the junior.
00:05Nice pick down by Kairi Sane as she pounds away on Io Sky.
00:10Asuka claims that she never treated Io Sky like the junior.
00:14Tag teamed with her, wanted to treat her as an equal.
00:17She believes that over the years Io Sky got too big for herself and
00:21finally abandoned Asuka and Kairi.
00:24And why is that so hard to believe?
00:27I mean, Asuka respects this game.
00:29Asuka came up the right way.
00:30Asuka was simply trying to pass down the knowledge that she has earned.
00:35And didn't take it out on Io, didn't make Io feel less than.
00:38Tried to bring Io to her level, and she got a knife in the back for it.
00:42Yeah, well, listen, look at the way Asuka's been treating Kairi Sane as of late.
00:46And many have called it an abusive type of relationship.
00:50Kairi Sane now knocking Io up her feet, stacks her up, cover, kick out by Ska.
00:55Well, I mean, if you really wanna get technical, maybe you could blame Io for
00:59how Asuka's treating Kairi.
01:01Because if Asuka had treated Io the right way, like she's treating Kairi, then maybe
01:07Io wouldn't have this outrageous attitude issue.
01:09Well, listen, Asuka isn't the only one to blame here.
01:13Kairi Sane can be blamed as well.
01:14She's had a number of opportunities to walk out on this abusive relationship.
01:18She will not do it.
01:19Io Sky has tried to talk some advice in some sense, some advice to Io Sky, to Kairi,
01:24and she hasn't listened.
01:25Nice take down by Kairi Sane.
01:31Io!
01:32Io!
01:33Io!
01:33Io!
01:34Io!
01:34Io!
01:34WWE fans, here tonight, nearly 12,000 in attendance,
01:38trying to will the genius of the sky Io Sky on.
01:46Kairi been dominating since the beginning.
01:49You know, there's a lot of pressure on Kairi, she believes she has to win tonight or
01:53suffer the wrath of Asuka back in the locker room.
01:58Whatever it takes, fear can be a great motivator.
02:02Some people don't respond well to fear.
02:06Others make a career of it.
02:13Reversal by Io.
02:16Kairi able to roll through.
02:17Yeah, Kairi seems to step ahead of Io Sky.
02:19You gotta wonder.
02:20I was gonna say, Kairi actually looks sharper tonight than I've seen her in recent
02:23weeks.
02:24Io, though, lands on her feet.
02:26You have to wonder if maybe that loss to Jade Cardinal this past Friday on
02:29SmackDown has bothered Io a bit, may still be in her head.
02:33Well, it seems to me like Io needs to learn to mind her own business.
02:36She's putting her nose in Rhea's business, she's putting her nose in Kairi and
02:40Asuka's business.
02:41Rhea and Io are best of friends.
02:45Look at the poor girl, she is, she.
02:49What?
02:50I don't know.
02:51You're at a loss.
02:52I am at a loss.
02:53And Io, Kairi Sane realized Moonsault could be coming and she drags Io face first
02:59into the apron.
03:00Yeah. Yeah, she just said that, I think she said you were an idiot.
03:03No, that's not at all what she said.
03:04That's all I know how to say in Japanese, insults.
03:06Oh, big kick by Sky.
03:11And now Io.
03:15From the barricade.
03:17Oh, and down goes Kairi.
03:20Io Sky has suddenly taken over.
03:23Asuka can't be happy.
03:34Now Io chants here in Sacramento.
03:39I'd like to see how you would perform with somebody screaming in your ear all night.
03:43You'd be surprised at how well versed I am.
03:48And Asuka now trying to regroup with Io outside the ring.
03:53Should say Kairi.
03:56Look at this, we got a literal tug of war over the pirate princess.
04:02High impact collision.
04:06Io might have had her bell rung there.
04:09And now all Kairi has to do is finish the job.
04:14Io driven into the steel steps by Kairi and Asuka likes what's going on here.
04:20Remember, she forced Kairi Sane into this match against Io tonight.
04:26And Kairi is thriving right now.
04:29I think Kairi Sane might consider thanking Asuka for getting this match booked in the first place.
04:36I'm telling you, I think we're seeing something special out of Kairi Sane tonight.
04:39You know what we can thank?
04:40The Empress of Tomorrow.
04:44Kairi cover.
04:45Referee Jessica Carr with the count and the kick out by Io Sky.
04:50Io, of course, a former two-time world champion, three-time tag champ.
04:55Kairi's been a three-time tag champ with Asuka, also former NXT champion.
05:00She slams Io center of the ring.
05:03Now, Kairi delivers an elbow.
05:06Cover once again.
05:09Io's got a kick out at two.
05:10That wasn't an insane elbow.
05:11That was a mildly disturbed elbow.
05:14Nice.
05:17Half grabs cinched in deep.
05:21Io trying to drag herself to the bottom rope to force a break here.
05:24Submission move locked in by Kairi.
05:28Io fingertips away, perhaps.
05:30And that's gonna force the break.
05:32One, two, three.
05:34Asuka extremely animated here at ringside.
05:40One, two, three.
05:41And Kairi just continues the pressure.
05:43Io's had a hard, oh, and a cheap shot by Asuka.
05:48Io's been having a hard time just getting into this match.
05:52Cover here.
05:53Cover by Kairi.
05:54One, two.
05:54Kick out by Io.
05:59Look at how proud Asuka is of herself, of her handiwork, and of Kairi Sane.
06:05You make Asuka happy, everybody's happy.
06:08You better make Asuka happy.
06:10That's that flip.
06:12Fingers down.
06:13Kick out at two.
06:16Oh, Kairi!
06:17Runs into the moon of Sky.
06:19Io's got an opportunity.
06:30Io's Sky looking to rally here tonight on Monday Night Raw in front of 12,000 in Sacramento.
06:36The final Raw before WrestleMania.
06:38This Saturday night, the two-night spectacle begins.
06:43Io's Sky starting to roll at the expense of Kairi.
06:47Good God.
06:48Yeah, we were talking moments ago how Io's Sky really hasn't been able to get in any
06:52type of control in this matchup, but perhaps she's found the momentum now.
06:58Reversal by Sane.
07:00Outside goes Io.
07:02Kick right under the chin.
07:04Io now heading up to the top rope.
07:07The genius of the Sky loves to fly.
07:11Missile drop kick.
07:13Kip up.
07:14That shot.
07:16That shot.
07:18That shot.
07:20It's a great shot.
07:21That shot.
07:24That shot.
07:28Bullets ran attack.
07:31Oh no, things starting to look bleak.
07:34With Kairi Sane.
07:40Yo now top rope.
07:42Kairi meets her there, though, and bounces face first off the ring post.
07:50Big forearm from Io.
07:52Now Kairi on the opposite side of the apron.
07:56What in the hell is Io thinking here?
08:03High risk position, precarious for both women.
08:06Trying to do everything she can to put Kairi Sane away.
08:14Kairi trying to block.
08:20Headbutt drops Io.
08:23And Io's caught up now on the top rope.
08:35Oh, no!
08:37Asuka driving Io Sky into the ring post.
08:41Just unbelievable.
08:43I can't believe Io's still conscious.
08:46This is what he's doing!
08:55Here's Rio Ripley.
08:57Io's friend, Megan Chirashka, doesn't get involved.
09:05Ripley looking for riptide.
09:07Jade Cargill from behind the WWE Champion who faces Ripley on Sunday.
09:16Jade letting Rhea know, it's me you have to worry about, not Asuka this weekend.
09:21And now we have Sky coming to the aid of Rhea.
09:25Taking out the champ.
09:27Oh, my God!
09:36Kyrie missed with a backfist.
09:38Io caught her with a kick.
09:41Sky going to go up top.
09:48And Asuka again getting involved, the official never saw it.
09:54Kyrie rolls up Io, Kyrie with the win, thanks to Asuka.
10:00Here is your winner, Kyrie Sane!
10:06The moral of the story, Michael Cole, find your own business.
10:12Maybe you're on to something.
10:15Asuka ecstatic the victory for
10:18Kyrie Sane here tonight over Io Scott.
