00:09The following contest is taken for one call.
00:14Introducing first, accompanied by Alexa Bliss,
00:19from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:28Come Saturday, these two women will be a part of the Tag Championship match at WrestleMania.
00:34Up next, Charlotte versus Lyra Valkyria live.
00:53Well, Corey, I agree with you, honest.
00:54That, to me, perhaps the most shocking moment in WrestleMania history.
00:59Hard to disagree with.
01:01I was in the Superdome that night as well.
01:09And her opponent, accompanied by Bayley, from Dublin, Ireland, Lyra Valkyria!
01:38Whoo!
01:40You all right over there?
01:42I'm enjoying myself.
01:49You all right over there?
01:56Oh!
01:58Oh!
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
01:59Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:06Oh!
02:07Hoping Corey to avenge teammate Bailey's Friday night Smackdown matchup against Alexa Bliss.
02:14Bailey one-on-one this past Friday and there were shenanigans on the outside as we've come to expect these
02:21days.
02:21But Bailey seemed to have things in control, landing her flying elbow drop to Miss Bliss.
02:28But it wasn't enough to finish the job.
02:30Bailey would then find herself on the outside mocking Charlotte Flair, which forced Bailey to take her eye off the
02:37ball just long enough for Alexa Bliss to strike.
02:41Rolling up the role model and giving her team momentum as we head toward Las Vegas.
02:47It takes place on WrestleMania Saturday.
02:50The irresistible forces, Nia Jackson, Lash Legend, will defend the titles against the Bella Twins, Bailey and Lyra.
02:58It's Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss in a fatal four-way match, Corey, where the champions don't have to be
03:02pitted or submitted to lose the titles.
03:04Certainly the irresistible forces can be seen as being at a disadvantage.
03:08Two women with massive targets on their back.
03:11But if anybody is equipped to handle the pressure of the moment, it's Nia Jackson, Lash Legend.
03:16They look absolutely unstoppable lately.
03:18Nikki Bella still rehabbing from an ankle injury.
03:21He hopes to be ready by Sunday as Charlotte and Lyra now square off for the first time ever in
03:27a one-on-one matchup.
03:30Valkyria, who had a WrestleMania moment last year when she won the tag team titles with Becky Lynch.
03:36You could later find out that Becky attacked Bailey to take her out of that match.
03:40Lyra's glorious moment was at the expense of Bailey, who is still here present ringside.
03:45Bailey, of course, excited that she's not missing WrestleMania for a second straight year.
03:49But a tall task awaits.
03:53Wow, look at that!
03:55Tremendous ability to work out of that.
03:59Then a kip up by the queen, Charlotte Flair.
04:02Charlotte, of course, one of the most decorated women in the history of WrestleMania.
04:06She's tied for first with four career wins at the granddaddy of them all.
04:11Well, Charlotte Flair on the grandest stage of them all at WrestleMania just feels right.
04:16Charlotte Flair was built for WrestleMania.
04:21But what we've seen lately out of Charlotte Flair, this Charlotte Flair who's so concerned with her image and being
04:26likable
04:27and being friends with Alexa Bliss and hard hands and denim jackets, it's not the queen.
04:32I want Charlotte Flair the most dominant female competitor in WWE history.
04:37That's who we need to see in Vegas.
04:38Lyra Valkyria not going to back down for Charlotte Flair.
04:43Charlotte, remember, won the inaugural WWE Women's title back at WrestleMania 32.
04:48She was a part of the first ever women's main event at WrestleMania, at WrestleMania 35.
04:54Lyra Valkyria, nice takedown of Charlotte.
04:57A spinning heel kick catches Charlotte.
04:59Cover now by Valkyria.
05:00Charlotte kicks out.
05:05Yeah, I hear you, Bayley.
05:06At least she didn't slip tonight.
05:07Bayley clearly didn't learn anything because she's out here talking to us, taking her eye off of the task at
05:12hand,
05:13that being Lyra's match with Charlotte Flair.
05:16I don't like what I'm seeing out of Bayley lately.
05:18She should be more locked in.
05:19She should be focused.
05:20Not just celebrating the fact she's part of WrestleMania.
05:23She should want to win gold.
05:25Charlotte sidestepping.
05:26Valkyria, but runs in to a boot.
05:28Lyra, intercontinental champion, one-time tag as well.
05:32And Charlotte Flair drops her to her knees with a well-placed kick.
05:40Reverse by Valkyria.
05:41Up and over goes Charlotte Flair.
05:44Oh!
05:45Lyra.
05:46Charlotte got caught.
05:48Nice takedown by Lyra.
05:51Wiping out the feet of Charlotte.
05:53Charlotte and now a kick driving Charlotte to the floor.
05:57Lyra Valkyria looking great in this one so far.
06:06Lyra trying to rally the WWE fans tonight in Sacramento.
06:10Here she comes.
06:11But Charlotte able to move out of the way.
06:13And a big boot will drop Valkyria.
06:15Charlotte takes over.
06:16Our match continues.
06:27You know, Charlotte and Alexa, the more experienced team, I would believe.
06:32Not just team, but the experience that both of them have at WrestleMania compared to the
06:36other three teams.
06:37Yeah, but I would also say Lyra brings a unique element in this.
06:40She's world-traveled.
06:41Lyra's very well-versed in multiple styles inside the ring.
06:44She could be a bit of an X-Factor.
06:45Cover by Flair.
06:50But there is something to be said for having experienced the grandest stage of them all,
06:55for having made memories already at WrestleMania, which Charlotte Flair has no shortage of.
07:01Certainly got to give the Queen confidence heading into this weekend.
07:06Lyra now trapped.
07:08Look at the powerful legs and core of Charlotte Flair.
07:15Figure four heads is extremely effective.
07:20And now Charlotte measuring her opponent.
07:23That's the look I've been missing in the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
07:26That next level intensity.
07:28Valkyria rolls up.
07:29Charlotte near fall again.
07:33Lyra Valkyria is really coming into her own here in the past year or so in WWE.
07:37I think being around Bayley has helped her mature as well.
07:41I would agree with that assessment.
07:43Beautiful Northern Lights suplex by Valkyria.
07:46It's a pin and a kick out by Charlotte.
07:50Valkyria, she's fundamentally strong.
07:54Very much so.
07:55Very technically sound, as I was saying a few minutes ago.
07:58Lyra is well-versed in a litany of styles of wrestling.
08:02She's a very dangerous grappler.
08:03She's very well-versed in submissions.
08:05It's just a matter of putting all those tools together.
08:08And that could be where Bayley's come in.
08:10You know, going into Saturday, which of these teams do you give the edge?
08:15Honestly, right now, based off of what happened Friday night, you've got to give the edge to Charlotte Flair and
08:19Alexa Bliss.
08:19They've been working together as a team.
08:22Again, I still have my douses to the authenticity of their friendship, but they know how to win when it
08:27matters most.
08:29Charlotte now heading up to the top rope.
08:31Lyra knocked down with a big boot to the face.
08:35And now Charlotte Flair with a crossbody.
08:38Well, Lyra able to roll through.
08:40Charlotte's momentum took both over.
08:43Charlotte fired up tonight.
08:48Again, it's hard to say that Charlotte and Bliss or Bayley and Lyra, or even the Bellas, for that matter,
08:53have any sort of advantage heading into WrestleMania because they are dealing with the irresistible forces.
08:58Pure power.
08:59They've looked unstoppable as a team.
09:04And Charlotte clothesline drops Lyra.
09:08Charlotte has been dominating much of this match.
09:17On WrestleMania Saturday, there will be a fatal four-way match for the women's tag team titles.
09:23Two of the teams are out here tonight.
09:25Charlotte and Alexa, Bayley and Lyra, this is a one-on-one matchup with Charlotte and Lyra,
09:29and Charlotte's been dominating.
09:31All right, you're absolutely right.
09:32This is an opportunity for Charlotte and Alexa Bliss to inflict a little early punishment on Lyra Valkyria.
09:37Kind of get a feel for what the opposition's going to look like come WrestleMania.
09:41But right now, Charlotte Flair trying to adjust her position and got caught.
09:47And now Lyra Valkyria looking to rally.
09:50Loves to fly.
09:51Top rope.
09:52Big leg drop.
09:53Back of the neck.
09:55Could be what Lyra needed.
09:56Hook the far leg.
09:59Near fall as Charlotte just gets the shoulder up.
10:03I think what it would do for the confidence of Lyra, Valkyria, and Bayley,
10:06if Lyra's able to pull this off tonight as we look again at the leg drop like a guillotine across
10:11the back of Flair's neck.
10:15Lyra going to go to the ropes once again.
10:21Boots off, but Charlotte got the knees up.
10:24Not the landing Lyra had hoped for.
10:27Flair looking to cinch it in.
10:28Wait, inside cradle by Valkyria.
10:30And again, Charlotte has to kick out.
10:32Charlotte was going for the figure eight.
10:34Nice step up in Zaguri by Valkyria.
10:38Boot right to the face.
10:39Caught her right in the chin.
10:46Charlotte trying to place Lyra in position.
10:53Heading up to the top rope.
10:55Charlotte has made a career out of this.
10:58Moonsault connecting.
11:00Cover by Flair.
11:02Kick out by Valkyria.
11:05And Charlotte can't believe it, but there is one thing we've learned about Lyra over the past couple of years.
11:10The grit and resilience.
11:12You're absolutely right about that.
11:14As we look once again at the picture-perfect moonsault from Charlotte Flair.
11:18Perfect landing.
11:20If anything, Charlotte may have been guilty of a bit of an arrogant cover there.
11:24But again, Lyra showing her tenacity to her opponent and the entire world.
11:29Bayley trying to rally the WWE fans.
11:33Charlotte now.
11:33Looked like she was going for an actual selection.
11:36Lyra, though.
11:37Goals down.
11:38Almost had her again.
11:43Too close for comfort if you're Charlotte Flair.
11:47Lyra going toe-to-toe with the Queen.
11:54Valkyria with a series of rights, but Flair answering back with a sharp knife-edge chop.
12:00Yeah, stops Lyra right in her tracks.
12:04Charlotte trash-talking Valkyria.
12:06Lyra now.
12:09Oh!
12:10Is it enough?
12:11Hook of the leg by Valkyria!
12:13And another kick out by Charlotte.
12:15What a suplex!
12:18Lyra reaching deep into her bag to unleash a Fisherman suplex to Charlotte Flair.
12:25But still unable to finish the job.
12:28Lyra needs to figure out how to keep her foot on the gas pedal.
12:31She's got the Queen reeling right now.
12:33Bayley out here pointing at the Wrestlemania sign, reminding Lyra what this is all about.
12:39Building momentum to Saturday.
12:43Lyra able to hoist up Flair.
12:45And Charlotte, though, able to deliver an elbow.
12:48Send Lyra outside to the ring and into Bayley!
12:52Look at the urgency from Charlotte.
12:54Scrambling to the outside.
12:57Sending Lyra back in.
13:00Lyra scrambling toward the corner.
13:04Missed.
13:04Oh, just barely caught Charlotte, but not enough.
13:09Looking for the O'Connor roll.
13:11There it is.
13:12And look at Bayley!
13:13Bayley tripped up Charlotte!
13:15Into a pin by Lyra!
13:17And a win!
13:20Here is your winner, Lyra Valkyria!
13:25Hey, that was a massive win for Lyra tonight.
13:27And if you're Bayley, you do what you need, I guess.
13:31It's Wrestlemania season.
13:32I agree with that assessment of the situation.
13:35We're going to get another preview right now.
13:37Temper's starting to flare.
13:38And Charlotte upset after Bayley got involved.
13:41And now the pushing and shoving begins.
13:44Turnabout is fair play.
13:45Friday night, Charlotte Flair caught Bayley.
13:48Tonight, Bayley returned the favor.
13:53As these four women prepare for the Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Matchup
13:58on Wrestlemania Saturday
14:01for the Women's Tag Team Titles.
14:15And now the exception said that the Kobay Prep now is a failure and a thundra
14:16pawn.
14:16And theены are still on the way.
14:16If there is a celebration of what you need, you will be able to
