00:00ends.
00:53All hail the Queen.
01:23All hail the Queen.
01:30Introducing first, the team of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
01:40Only Alexa and Charlotte can pull off those outfits.
01:44The former tag team champions looking to win back the gold here tonight.
01:51Charlotte Flair, of course, has become synonymous with WrestleMania over the years.
01:59WrestleMania 34 when she beat Asuka to end the record undefeated streak of the Empress of Tomorrow.
02:06She beat Rhea Ripley back at Mania 36.
02:10Ronda Rousey at Mania 38.
02:12And, of course, Wade, the history-making WrestleMania 35, where Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, and Becky Lynch
02:19will be a part of the first-ever women's match to main event WrestleMania.
02:25Just so we're clear, Cole, I think you could pull off both of those outfits.
02:30Oh, thanks.
02:30Let's move on, because we've got two top stars who know all about hitting top gear at WrestleMania,
02:36looking to win back tag gold once again tonight.
02:41And this match tonight is brought to you by The Mandalorian and Grogu.
02:46Star Wars returns to the big screen.
02:49Experience Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Grogu.
02:52May 22nd, only in theaters and IMAX.
03:01Alexa Bliss, back at Mania 36, would win the tag team title.
03:20Next, the team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
03:29Bayley got what she wanted, an opportunity to once again be a part of WrestleMania.
03:34Remember last year, Wade, Becky Lynch, we would find out later, would attack Bayley, taking her out of WrestleMania.
03:40Becky would replace her to team with Lyra Valkyria to win the tag team gold.
03:45Yeah, it was a short-lived reign.
03:48And, of course, Becky Lynch, who had previously attacked Bayley, then went on to attack Lyra
03:52before these two got back together, smoothed things over,
03:56and now launching an assault on finally getting the gold here at WrestleMania.
04:01WrestleMania. Bayley has three wins in this great spectacle.
04:06Of course, back at WrestleMania 40, when she beat EO Sky to win the WWE Women's Championship.
04:25Yeah.
04:28Uh-huh.
04:31Let's go.
04:31Let's go.
04:31Let's go.
04:37Next, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax, and Lash Legend, the Irresistible Forces.
04:52And both Nia and Lash Legend paying homage to Legends.
04:57Brand new WWE Hall of Famers Axe and Smash Demolition, who were inducted at just a very emotional ceremony last
05:06night.
05:06Yeah, from one powerhouse duo to another, here comes the Nia, and here comes the Lasher,
05:13the reigning tag team champs here for the women in WWE, and what an unstoppable powerhouse duo they make.
05:22Yeah, they won the tag titles back at the end of February by knocking off Rhea Ripley and EO Sky,
05:28undefeated as a team.
05:31With as formidable a pair of foes as you could possibly imagine,
05:36and possess zero physical weaknesses on a hell of a lot of assets.
05:43And damn, they look good tonight, ready to sparkle here in the desert.
05:48Alexa Bliss looking on, her and Nia Jax with quite the rivalry.
05:52In fact, Nia knocked off Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania to win the world title.
05:58You can look, but you can't touch.
06:01You can't dream it, all the stars are fun.
06:17So, I tried really hard, you guys, to overcome this injury.
06:22And unfortunately, I couldn't get it medley cleared today.
06:27And I wasn't about to ruin Bree's WrestleMania moment.
06:31So, to take my place, I called an old friend.
07:04She's back!
07:08Paige has returned to WWE!
07:17Oh man, I don't think we ever thought we would see the day!
07:23But welcome back, Paige!
07:31And their opponents, accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer, Mickey Bella!
07:38The team of Bree, Bella, and Paige!
07:45No secret that the Bellas and Paige are longtime friends.
07:50But there is no way anyone knew Paige was going to be here at WrestleMania.
07:58Oh man, your heart goes out to Nikki Bella, who's missed out because of that injury.
08:03But what a major surprise!
08:06And what a major shot in the arm for this audience, who have truly been given a gift here with
08:14the return of Paige.
08:16Paige looks in tremendous shape here tonight.
08:22And she will team with Bree Bella as part of this fatal four-away match for the women's tag team
08:29titles.
08:31And I'm just looking up some, doing some research real quick here, Wade.
08:35Well, go ahead with your point.
08:37I was going to say the entire UK must be jumping out of their couches right now.
08:42I know it's late there.
08:43I'm sure you're buzzing with energy.
08:45Thanks to the return of Paige.
08:47Got the famous Nike dynasty over there.
08:50Well, she's back and she's coming for the gold.
08:52And apparently, I believe this is Paige's first time in a WWE ring in more than eight years.
09:02Paige, of course, who made her main roster debut.
09:06His last legend starts things off now against Bree Bella.
09:09Bailey in this as well, and so is Alexa Bliss.
09:11Four women in the ring at one time.
09:12First team to gain, pinfall is sufficient, will win the tag titles.
09:15Meanwhile, back, Paige made her main roster debut, remember, against AJ Lee,
09:19our current Intercontinental Champion, when she would win a championship.
09:22Yeah, straight in at the top and straight back at the top four page.
09:26And of course, in this match, you can only tag your own tag partner.
09:30And now making the most of that are the irresistible forces.
09:34Oh, geez, Bailey.
09:35Last legend has been so impressive and incredible since teaming with Nia Jax.
09:41I mean, how can these two fail?
09:42Let's be honest, two powerhouses that are both worth double.
09:47It's basically four against two every time they're in tag match.
09:50Yeah, I still can't stop looking at the apron.
09:52Paige is actually in this match wave.
09:54Oh man, this place is going to explode when she gets down.
09:57Oh!
09:58Charlotte Flair with a high cross body.
10:00And the Queen now sends Nia Jax out of the ring and delivers a chop to Bree.
10:09You see Charlotte Flair and you talk about Paige.
10:13Remember back at NXT when Paige, Charlotte and Becky were part of that team PCB.
10:18And look at this, Brie Bella hooking up Charlotte who kicks out.
10:21Yeah, here's the problem.
10:22He's got a four-way match up.
10:24So with the rules like this, there's always going to be opponents flying in every time you
10:27go for a move, a pin, whatever.
10:30You'll have your what's about you in there.
10:31Brie Bella using Lyra Valkyria as a weapon and then Lyra wiping out Brie.
10:37Well, how much does this affect Brie?
10:39Obviously it's great you've got Paige, but you are used to teaming in your own twin sister.
10:46Again, I'm looking back in time here and as Brie Bella delivers the yes kicks now to Charlotte
10:55and Lyra.
10:58Paige actually teamed with Brie and wrestling with Brie on a WrestleMania kickoff show a number of years ago.
11:07Oh, step up in Zaguri.
11:09That's not a particularly deep resume as a tag team, but you'll take whatever you can get at this point.
11:16Gonna have to click into gear very, very quickly here.
11:19And that's tough to do when you've got Nia Jax rearranging your spine.
11:23And a tag made in Lash Legend now legal.
11:27I love everything about Lash Legend.
11:29For many people, that is the future of the women's division right there.
11:32And that is a small example of exactly why.
11:36They've taken this war by storm since arriving.
11:38Chokeslam right onto the apron of Bayley.
11:41Now Charlotte Flair with a big hoop drops Nia to the floor.
11:43Lash Legend!
11:45With that boot to Charlotte.
11:47Charlotte is absolutely brilliant.
11:48Has all the experience in the war, but there's so little you can do against someone with a frame
11:53like Lash Legend who knows how to use it.
11:59Using those veteran wiles now is Charlotte Flair.
12:04And smartly tagging out getting the fresh Alexa Bliss in there for a go.
12:08And now Bliss.
12:09Oh, and a PDT delivered to Lash Legend.
12:14Now Lyra Valkyria back into the fray.
12:17Valkyria, one of the greatest high flyers and a former Intercontinental Champion in WWE 2.
12:22Now picking up the pace, and this is smart.
12:24Once you've got Lash Legend out of the ring, do whatever you can on your opponents and capitalize.
12:29And now Bayley and Lyra with the frequent tags.
12:38Double team coming.
12:40Backbreaker.
12:41And Bayley delivers the elbow to Bliss.
12:44Ding dong, you idiots!
12:46And Lash Legend gonna break up the near fall.
12:49Well, Lash was down but certainly not out and poised at the right time to break up that pin.
12:54And three fingertips away from her partner Paige before Lash Legend intercepts and sends her to the corner.
13:01And how much would Lash Legend love to spoil this return of Paige by preventing her from even getting tagged
13:07in.
13:08Get this one finished before Paige can even enter.
13:10Yeah, I was gonna say, Paige hasn't even been in this matchup.
13:13But Nikki tries to roll the crowd on.
13:16Alexa Bliss now and Lyra Valkyria gonna double team Bree.
13:20It's all about loose alliances in this one.
13:23Attack opponents but keep your wits out about you.
13:26These things never last long.
13:28And now Lash Legend so confident.
13:30She powers her way in here.
13:33But Bougie Bully doing her thing.
13:36Yeah, sending Bliss and Lyra to the mat.
13:39Meanwhile Bree Bella perched on the top rope.
13:43Missile drop kick by Bree.
13:44And an absolute bullseye at that.
13:46Taking a lot out of brief.
13:48Four women down.
13:49Fresh Palmers now on the apron.
13:51Demanding entry into this match.
13:55Gotta tag your own partner.
13:57Lyra trying to drag herself to Bayley.
14:00Tag made.
14:01Here comes Nia Jax.
14:03Here comes Charlotte Flair.
14:05Bayley in as well.
14:08Charlotte with a big boot.
14:10Nice nimble work there by Nia Jax.
14:13And now that intolerable over-
14:15Tag!
14:15Oh God!
14:16Here comes Paige!
14:19What the world's been waiting for!
14:21A two-tone Divas Champion!
14:23Paige taking it to Nia!
14:26The inaugural NXT Women's Champion!
14:34Yeah!
14:35Hook off Bayley here!
14:37Fisherman Duplex!
14:40Paige is looking better than ever!
14:47And Paige now sent out to the apron.
14:49Ross Regin gets popped by a kick.
14:50Paige now.
14:51Look at the well placed ease to legend.
14:54Wearing legend out!
14:55just a step ahead of the competition
