00:00:44Wingstop, bring the flavor.

00:00:46Most important title matchup of his reign, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes in a ladder

00:00:52match tonight, with the disputed WWE Championship on the line.

00:00:58Against this man, arriving in style, Kevin Owens, delusional yet dangerous.

00:01:05Kevin Owens, in possession of the Winged Eagle Championship, despite the fact he's not a champion,

00:01:12will battle Rhodes for the WWE title tonight.

00:01:16The winner of the Royal Rumble match may choose this man to face for the world title on WrestleMania.

00:01:24He's Gunther, the world champion, from Monday Night Raw.

00:01:28Will this man finally realize his dream of winning the Royal Rumble match?

00:01:33And finally, main eventing, WrestleMania.

00:01:38CM Punk is here live.

00:01:41In 2019, that man, the visionary, Seth Rollins, won the Royal Rumble.

00:01:46There's a lot of history for Seth Rollins in the city of Indianapolis.

00:01:49We'll get into it in the show here tonight.

00:01:53Last year, Bayley set a record lasting longer than any woman in the history of the Royal Rumble.

00:02:00One hour and three minutes and one second.

00:02:02Bayley looks to become just the fifth superstar in history to win back-to-back Royal Rumbles.

00:02:11The tag team champions, Bianca Belair and Naomi.

00:02:15Belair won this Royal Rumble a few years ago.

00:02:18Naomi had a breakout year, lasted over an hour last year.

00:02:21Will one of these women win the Rumble tonight?

00:02:25And for the first time in five years, Roman Reigns is in the Royal Rumble match.

00:02:31That's because he was the undisputed champion for the other four years.

00:02:35Accompanied by his wise man, can Roman Reigns repeat what he did in 2015?

00:02:40And that is when the Royal Rumble match.

00:02:50Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Stephanie McMahon!

00:03:30It is an incredible honor to be here in the amazing city of Indianapolis.

00:03:40And streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on Netflix around the world simultaneously.

00:03:50Bringing the WWE Universe together as never before.

00:03:55WWE grows because of you.

00:03:59Thank you for making this the biggest Rumble in history!

00:04:12And without further ado, welcome to the 2025 Royal Rumble!

00:04:50This great state, this legendary stadium,

00:05:01this undeniably incredible, incomparable Indianapolis city.

00:05:07This town has more heart, more grit, and more determination than just about anywhere else on planet Earth.

00:05:17Now, I know what you're thinking.

00:05:21Oh, Pat McAfee. He's an indie guy, yeah.

00:05:24Super or rich. I'm sure he'd nail a hot, cold, open video program.

00:05:29Hubbly-bubbly. How you doing? Keep it moving!

00:05:33Well, you know what?

00:05:36You're damn right.

00:05:39And in case you've been living in a space station for the last 37 years and are somehow unaware of

00:05:47WWE's Royal Rumble event.

00:05:50Allow me to educate you real quick.

00:06:0030 men, 30 women, 30 women are gonna come barreling down this glorious entrance ramp into the ring and, spoiler

00:06:08alert, they aren't looking to hug it out.

00:06:11It's full send until there is only one left standing.

00:06:18All the passion, all the s*** talking, all the history, everything on the line, nothing fires me up more than

00:06:27wrestling in the great state of Indiana.

00:06:31Let me hear you, Indy.

00:06:33Let the world hear you, Indy.

00:06:36And welcome, everybody, to the 2025 Royal Rumble!

00:06:51Let's go!

00:06:59And now, Cricket Wireless and Intuit TurboTax present, Royal Rumble.

00:07:11You are looking live at a sold-out Lucas Oil Stadium.

00:07:1770,000 WWE fans are here tonight.

00:07:22Where stars will be made, careers will be taken to a new level, and the road to WrestleMania begins.

00:07:30Welcome to the 38th Royal Rumble.

00:07:34Hello again, everybody.

00:07:35For the 28th time, I welcome you to the Royal Rumble.

00:07:37My partner, Wade Barrett, and Mr. Indianapolis, Pat McAfee.

00:07:42Thank you, Cole.

00:07:43It's gonna be an honor to work with you, Wade.

00:07:44There's already been way too much of me tonight, because it's not about me.

00:07:47It's about this city.

00:07:48It's about these opportunities.

00:07:49It's about the biggest Royal Rumble ever, and I'm lucky to be doing it.

00:07:53I'm thankful to be here with you guys.

00:07:54If it's the biggest Royal Rumble ever, we need the greatest ring announcer in WWE today.

00:08:00Let's head over to Alicia Taylor.

00:08:04The following is the Women's Royal Rumble match.

00:08:15Two superstars will start inside the ring.

00:08:20Every two minutes, another superstar will enter the match.

00:08:25Eliminations will occur when a superstar is thrown over the top rope with two feet hitting the floor.

00:08:35The last remaining superstar will be declared the winner and will go on to main event Wrestlemania.

00:09:13Introducing entrant number one from Tokyo, Japan.

00:09:18And representing Damage Control, EO Sky.

00:09:28The genius of the sky kicking us off in the Women's Royal Rumble match tonight, Wade Barrett.

00:09:34It is not impossible to run the gauntlet like Bayley did last year and win the Rumble, but it's damn

00:09:40difficult.

00:09:41Well, say hello to the unluckiest woman on planet Earth tonight, EO Sky.

00:09:47Damn, you're right, Cole.

00:09:49It's not impossible, but likely, hell no.

00:09:52And if you drew EO Sky in your own little lottery that you're playing at home, I'm afraid I got

00:09:59some bad news.

00:10:00You draw a very, very bad number there.

00:10:04Wade, I agree with you, Wade.

00:10:06And, you know, EO Sky is definitely built for it.

00:10:09She can definitely go on a run.

00:10:10She has everything you could possibly need, especially a main veteran of WrestleMania.

00:10:14But it's going to be a long road here in Indianapolis for EO Sky.

00:10:19And tonight, the Women's Royal Rumble match is presented by Slim Jim.

00:10:24Get savage with America's favorite bold and spicy meat stick.

00:10:28Snap in to a Slim Jim.

00:10:31Michael Cole loves meat sticks.

00:10:33Best thing ever.

00:10:34He's been chomping them all weekend here in Indianapolis.

00:10:38Housing meat sticks.

00:10:39One after another after another.

00:10:42A lot of protein.

00:10:44Absolutely.

00:10:45Insatiable appetite, Michael Cole.

00:10:47So EO Sky, who will she face off against in the first few minutes of this Royal Rumble match?

00:11:01Watch it.

00:11:09Next, from Elmwood Park, New Jersey, representing the Judgement Day, Liv Morgan.

00:11:23Liv Morgan, only one of two women in the history of company, company mean,

00:11:27participated in every single Women's Royal Rumble match.

00:11:32For Liv Morgan, will the third time be a charm?

00:11:36Wade Barrett, the last two years, Liv Morgan finished runner-up in this match.

00:11:41Well, I take back what I said about EO Sky.

00:11:43I think number two is even more unlucky than number one.

00:11:48Because if you do, in fact, pull off the unthinkable, run the table, win this whole thing,

00:11:54you don't even get the glory of being able to say you did it from number one.

00:11:59But the task is just as difficult.

00:12:01Bad luck, Liv Morgan.

00:12:03So, Pat, Liv Morgan, and I've said this on a number of occasions,

00:12:06I really believe that she was the female superstar of the year in 2024,

00:12:10an incredible year for the former world champ.

00:12:12Absolutely, coming back from an injury and accomplishing every dream that she set out.

00:12:17And she said it yesterday on the kickoff to the Royal Rumble weekend.

00:12:20Her and Nadia are the only two women to be in every single Royal Rumble that has happened here

00:12:24at the WWE.

00:12:26Has all the experience to make a long run from number two, not number one,

00:12:30but still a long night if she wants to earn the one-way trip to Mania.

00:12:36And wait, she does have the endurance.

00:12:38Two years ago, Liv Morgan lasted one minute, eight seconds in this matchup.

00:12:43One minute?

00:12:43One minute, eight seconds?

00:12:45I'm sorry, one hour, one minute, eight seconds.

00:12:47That's Michael Cole endurance, one minute, eight seconds.

00:12:50But yeah, you're right.

00:12:51Of course, Liv is absolutely one of the finest on the planet,

00:12:54belt-a-belt, as is EOSky,

00:12:56but I am surprised by the smiles on their faces as they came out.

00:13:00Because personally, I'd have had a face like thunder if I got this unlucky.

00:13:03Liv Morgan, of course, the ground jewel champion.

00:13:07EOSky, former Miss Money in the Bank, former Women's World Champ as well.

00:13:10And Morgan starts things off with EOSky.

00:13:12Wade, strategy, you've been in rumble matches.

00:13:14When you start off early, what do you need to do?

00:13:16Well, quite simply, there's nowhere to hide when you're one and two,

00:13:19because it's essentially a one-on-one matchup at this point.

00:13:21You've just got to live long enough to go and hide at some point in the matchup,

00:13:26stay small, and try and conserve as much energy as you can.

00:13:29Right now, though, it's going to be a war between these two.

00:13:32Yeah, normally, you want to maybe end it quick so you can get a rest,

00:13:35but there's no end in sight here.

00:13:37So conserving energy here early is a massive ordeal.

00:13:40And EOSky put it on a show that she wants the World Championship back.

00:13:49Eliminate somebody incredibly fast.

00:13:51Uh-oh, out to the apron now.

00:13:53Liv looking to eliminate EOSky early,

00:13:55maybe a short Royal Rumble match for the Genius of the Sky,

00:13:58who's now trying to hang on.

00:13:59Well, what a shocker, this would be EOSky normally the favorite

00:14:03to win every single match she's ever in,

00:14:06just because of the size of the resume

00:14:09that this woman has built up over the years,

00:14:11although from number one, certainly not the favorite.

00:14:14So, you know, Wade, so much...

00:14:15Uh-oh, Liv was going for Oblivion, blocked by EOSky,

00:14:18and now they're going to dump Liv Morgan out of the ring,

00:14:20and eliminate Liv, who's just hanging on.

00:14:21Remember, both feet must hit the floor to be eliminated

00:14:24after you go over the top rope.

00:14:25These women are crazy.

00:14:27Absolutely no thought to conserving energy at all.

00:14:30They are dropping the heavy artillery from the off.

00:14:33Just going for it, Wade.

00:14:35Astrobatics, they're going for glory.

00:14:38And Liv caught a heel with a knee.

00:14:40Next entry, number three, will come in in six seconds.

00:14:43One, four, three, two, three, three, four.

00:14:57Ladies and gentlemen, for the third time in her career,

00:15:00NXT superstar Roxanne Perez enters the Royal Rumble match.

00:15:06She is the former NXT Women's Champion,

00:15:09and what a tremendous reign, Wade, she had as the NXT champ.

00:15:13Yeah, absolutely incredible performer,

00:15:16for once, a little young and naive.

00:15:18She's turned rather bitter and vindictive,

00:15:20as this industry has a tendency to do to young superstars,

00:15:25but she is improving with every single match,

00:15:29and surely it's not long before Raw or SmackDown

00:15:31come knocking for this woman.

00:15:33Yeah, I'm saying she's the future of this industry.

00:15:35Yeah, she's got a beef with Bayley going on right now,

00:15:37and, of course, the current NXT Women's Champion, Julia.

00:15:40You know, you made a point before, Pat,

00:15:42you know, EO is the genius of the sky,

00:15:44but you don't want to be working off the rules

00:15:46in this type of match-up.

00:15:47Yeah, it takes away one of her massive advantages normally in fights,

00:15:50but she will have to figure out a new strategy,

00:15:53use it sparingly.

00:15:54And Perez uses Liv Morgan to her advantage.

00:15:57What makes Perez so dangerous, Wade?

00:15:59Well, it's this speed of movement, first of all,

00:16:01that we're seeing from a train with Bukka T,

00:16:03and, of course, extended that one.

00:16:05Oh!

00:16:05In NXT, and what a way to announce yourself here

00:16:09in this Royal Rumble from The Prodigy, Roxanne.

00:16:13Yeah, so many people have said she had all the tools,

00:16:15and she's really put it together over the past couple of years.

00:16:18I remember, oh, and Liv now, over the top rope.

00:16:20Roxanne looking to eliminate Morgan.

00:16:22And what a feather that would be in Roxanne Perez's cap.

00:16:26Liv trying to hang on.

00:16:27She's taken out one of the absolute favorites, former world champ.

00:16:31Eoskye now dumping Roxanne over the top rope.

00:16:34Will it be a short trip for Roxanne?

00:16:35Maybe it'll be a short trip for Eoskye.

00:16:37Look at the power!

00:16:38And what a run up by Roxanne!

00:16:41Blown away by how Roxanne Perez has been

00:16:45code-breaker!

00:16:46Dominating, but welcome back

00:16:48to the Liv Morgan World Domination Tour.

00:16:51Number four coming in.

00:16:53Two, one!

00:17:06Wait, you're gonna woo or not?

00:17:08That's your job, Pat.

00:17:12I think you should woo.

00:17:15For the first time in her career,

00:17:18the first ever women's intercontinental champion, Lyra Valkyria.

00:17:24Woo!

00:17:26Woo!

00:17:29Woo!

00:17:31Terrible, just terrible.

00:17:32And now Valkyria into the ring!

00:17:34And what takes out Liv Morgan!

00:17:36And now with a big kick as well

00:17:38to Roxanne Perez.

00:17:40Lyra Valkyria, a joy to watch.

00:17:43She says she feels so good.

00:17:44It makes her alive when she can fly.

00:17:47She got called up and she was immediately confident

00:17:49and comfortable because she is the real deal.

00:17:51It went to the finals of the

00:17:53Queen of the Ring Tournament last year.

00:17:55And look at this, looking for a fisherman's duplex

00:17:58delivered by Lyra.

00:17:59Remember, no pinfalls in this matchup.

00:18:02Now, here's the other thing about Lyra.

00:18:03Remember, not only did she go to the finals

00:18:05of the Queen of the Ring Tournament,

00:18:06she beat Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship.

00:18:09We've got a wardrobe malfunction going on in the ring right now.

00:18:13Poor Lyra Valkyria having some major issues.

00:18:15And you cannot blame Liv Morgan for taking full advantage

00:18:19of the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion.

00:18:23And that's why you're the best color analyst in the game.

00:18:25We don't miss a trick.

00:18:26I spot the big stuff.

00:18:29And EO trying to hang on now, on the apron.

00:18:35A little chaos here early.

00:18:37Exactly what we expect out of a Royal Rumble.

00:18:40And this is the part of the problem.

00:18:41When you look at Liv Morgan and EO Sky especially,

00:18:44they've burned a lot of energy in the early goings here.

00:18:47And it's not surprising.

00:18:48They're starting to look a little raggedy.

00:18:50Thankfully, Lauren.

00:18:50Oh, wait a minute.

00:18:51Looking to eliminate EO here.

00:18:52EO's two, hanging on.

00:18:55Roxanne looking to eliminate Liv Morgan.

00:18:58Entry number five is about to come into the ring.

00:19:00EO trying to hang on.

00:19:05She's staying up.

00:19:06It's Chelsea Green.

00:19:10Oh, no.

00:19:12This is your champion, Colt.

00:19:16The first ever United States Champion.

00:19:22Chelsea Green, who calls herself Miss America,

00:19:24despite the fact she's in Canada.

00:19:27Chelsea entering her fourth Rumble mask in her career.

00:19:31Two years ago, she became the fastest ever eliminated

00:19:35in the Women's Rumble.

00:19:37She lasted five seconds.

00:19:40When you are the inaugural Women's United States champ,

00:19:44you can call yourself whatever you want.

00:19:47And yes, she's a pest.

00:19:49She's an annoyance.

00:19:50She has a grating personality.

00:19:53But from bell to bell, Chelsea Green is A+.

00:19:57Why does she dress like she's going to a prom?

00:20:00I probably...

00:20:01She probably thinks it's a celebration of her this evening.

00:20:04So, as she should, she's the United States Champion.

00:20:06She's been insufferable as a champ.

00:20:08Imagine if she wins the Royal Rumble match.

00:20:10And Chelsea now, with a big slap to Roxanne Perez

00:20:12and one to Liv Morgan as well.

00:20:14Now, Chelsea Green is normally hyper-aggressive

00:20:18when she's backed up by her personal secret service,

00:20:21Piper Nivy.

00:20:22Yeah, but Piper's in this match at some point.

00:20:24Chelsea thinking she's eliminating everybody.

00:20:26Not quite.

00:20:27Roxanne hangs on.

00:20:28You've got to get the job finished.

00:20:30Liv Morgan up over the top.

00:20:31And Liv able to grab the ropes.

00:20:33And Chelsea Green celebrating.

00:20:36Nobody got eliminated.

00:20:37By the way, she was just pointing at the WrestleMania sign.

00:20:40You've got to win this match, actually,

00:20:42to have the opportunity to point at the sign.

00:20:45She did get, you know, a first down at least.

00:20:47Maybe not a touchdown.

00:20:48Got everybody over the top.

00:20:49Yeah, well, now look what's happening to her.

00:20:51Well, the least popular member of the women's locker room

00:20:55is getting a beatdown at the hands of every single woman

00:20:58in the matchup thus far.

00:21:00And that was a short burst for Chelsea Green.

00:21:03And number six about to enter the match now.

00:21:05No eliminations thus far.

00:21:16B-Fab who got involved last night

00:21:18on Friday Night Smackdown, Wade.

00:21:21Yes, G-Deer has spent a lot of time

00:21:23looking up from the sidelines

00:21:25over the past 12 months.

00:21:27Opportunities are not given at this level.

00:21:30They have to be taken.

00:21:31And B-Fab over the past several weeks

00:21:34has stepped up huge on Smackdown.

00:21:37This is her second Rumble appearance, Pat.

00:21:39Anyone you talk to in the back, including the coaches,

00:21:41will say that B-Fab has so much untapped potential.

00:21:43Absolutely.

00:21:45Opportunity through the roof for her tonight.

00:21:47Oh!

00:21:47He's all of it.

00:21:48Legs for days.

00:21:49And this woman knows how to use them.

00:21:51And of course, B-Fab has had an issue

00:21:53with both Chelsea and Piper

00:21:55as she's aligned herself with Meechan.

00:21:58Well, B-Fab's a top rapper,

00:21:59but make no mistake,

00:22:01this woman is double tough,

00:22:02grew up fighting on the streets

00:22:03of Medellin, Colombia.

00:22:05Yeah, she was teaching me some bars earlier.

00:22:08I bet.

00:22:08Oh, we gotta hear this, Kyle.

00:22:09Oh!

00:22:10I bet.

00:22:10Let's hear that.

00:22:11No, not now.

00:22:11Not now.

00:22:12And here we go.

00:22:13Wait a minute.

00:22:13Look, I thought he might go for a cover there,

00:22:15and obviously there are none

00:22:16in the Rumble match.

00:22:18And B-Fab now showing off her power!

00:22:20Okay, B-Fab!

00:22:23Okay!

00:22:24Twisting suplex

00:22:25from the growing repertoire of moves

00:22:27that belong to B-Fab,

00:22:29can she score the first elimination

00:22:31in this matchup?

00:22:32If B-Fab wins,

00:22:33B-Fab's in.

00:22:34I mean, tonight,

00:22:35change bars.

00:22:36That's, okay, I get it.

00:22:38That was the wrap?

00:22:38Yeah, that was it right there.

00:22:40Good grief.

00:22:40Never do that again, Cole.

00:22:41There's people listening to this.

00:22:43Every week, Wade.

00:22:44I know you hear me, Matt!

00:22:45You have my deepest sympathies, man.

00:22:46No eliminations yet.

00:22:48Taking the trajectory

00:22:48of her entire career,

00:22:49Chelsea Green now celebrating

00:22:51being the United States champion

00:22:52and your champion, Cole.

00:22:53The officials are working this matchup

00:22:55on the outside, of course,

00:22:56so they are there to make sure

00:22:58he touched the floor.

00:23:00Number eight,

00:23:01about to enter the Rumble.

00:23:02No eliminations yet.

00:23:08Entry number seven.

00:23:09I misspoke.

00:23:10Got ahead of myself.

00:23:13From American Made,

00:23:14the Pitbull, Ivy Nile.

00:23:20I used to watch American Gladiators

00:23:22growing up.

00:23:23One of the biggest, strongest, fastest.

00:23:26Become these Gladiators

00:23:27and take on

00:23:28average Joe's

00:23:30in tall sense.

00:23:31Ivy Nile

00:23:32is an American Gladiator.

00:23:34An absolute

00:23:36physical specimen athletically.

00:23:39Oh, there's the power now

00:23:40of Nile.

00:23:41Nile in a breakout year

00:23:42in the Rumble last year.

00:23:44She lasted over 23 minutes

00:23:46in her debut.

00:23:47Yeah, well, guess what?

00:23:48She's even better now,

00:23:49Michael Cole.

00:23:4912 months more experience,

00:23:51especially under the tutelage

00:23:53of Master Chad Gable

00:23:55in American-made Ivy Nile

00:23:57the Pitbull

00:23:58going from strength to strength.

00:23:59Wait, did you see that

00:24:00standing switch

00:24:01into a German suplex?

00:24:02Did it once again there

00:24:03to Morgan.

00:24:04She's good enough.

00:24:04She needs to leave

00:24:05Chad Gable.

00:24:06A stack.

00:24:06Chelsea looking for

00:24:07the unpretty her.

00:24:09And now trying to hang

00:24:11on to Roxanne Perez.

00:24:12Long plays.

00:24:13Ivy Nile, look at that!

00:24:14The power!

00:24:16A double German suplex

00:24:18by Nile!

00:24:23What a relentless superstar.

00:24:26Sheer power comes

00:24:27in a small package

00:24:28when it comes to the Pitbull.

00:24:30Ivy Nile, this is a woman

00:24:32with one of the brightest

00:24:33futures in the women's locker room.

00:24:35I mean, her power,

00:24:36her stature

00:24:37is going to be tough

00:24:38to eliminate.

00:24:39I'm going to think

00:24:40all of a sudden

00:24:40a favorite in some people

00:24:41is betting on us.

00:24:42Also, how do we get

00:24:43a low center of gravity

00:24:45like Ivy Nile?

00:24:47Seven women in the ring.

00:24:49Nobody's been eliminated.

00:24:51Thus far.

00:24:53He's got precarious position

00:24:55here from the number one

00:24:56and number two.

00:24:57This might be a red,

00:24:58close to a red one

00:24:59in terms of no one

00:25:00being eliminated thus far.

00:25:02And we're about

00:25:02to get number eight.

00:25:03Sasha has to show up, right?

00:25:15The Sniper

00:25:17Zoe Stark

00:25:18from Pure Fusion

00:25:21Collective.

00:25:22I'll tell you,

00:25:22Zoe Stark,

00:25:23her third Rumble appearance

00:25:24last year,

00:25:25she was eliminated

00:25:26by the eventual

00:25:27runner-up,

00:25:27Cliff Morgan.

00:25:28Two years ago,

00:25:29Wade,

00:25:30she lasted nearly

00:25:30a half hour

00:25:31in the Rumble.

00:25:32Fierce aggression,

00:25:33remorseless attitude,

00:25:36and a...

00:25:37Oh, look it!

00:25:38Mindset like a kid

00:25:39who just loves

00:25:40breaking the toys

00:25:41of others.

00:25:43Zoe Stark's about

00:25:44as dangerous

00:25:44as they come.

00:25:45Oh, what a throw

00:25:46by Stark.

00:25:48Now,

00:25:48Eoskye,

00:25:49former tag team

00:25:49partner of

00:25:50Zoe Stark,

00:25:51they were once

00:25:52NXT tag champs

00:25:53together.

00:25:54Man, it's rare,

00:25:55I get excited

00:25:55about a dropkick,

00:25:56but Zoe Stark

00:25:57hit a dropkick

00:25:58on SmackDown

00:25:59about a week ago

00:26:00on Paul Dakota Kai

00:26:01like I have never

00:26:02seen before.

00:26:03And now up

00:26:04over to the apron,

00:26:04Chelsea Green

00:26:05trying to eliminate

00:26:06Zoe.

00:26:06Zoe, though,

00:26:06catches her with a kick.

00:26:08There is a certain

00:26:10explosivity

00:26:10in Zoe Stark

00:26:12that every woman

00:26:12is.

00:26:13Wow!

00:26:13What a neckbreaker!

00:26:14Needs to be terrified of!

00:26:16It's so rare,

00:26:17this explosivity

00:26:17that she has.

00:26:20Is out of nowhere,

00:26:21can jump out of a pool.

00:26:22Eoskye and Liv Morgan

00:26:23have been in this matchup

00:26:24well over 13 minutes

00:26:26thus far.

00:26:26The number one

00:26:27and two entrance.

00:26:28Eoskye now

00:26:29trying to hang on.

00:26:30Dangerous situation

00:26:31for Skye here.

00:26:32You've basically

00:26:32done a marathon

00:26:33at this point

00:26:34if you are Eoskye

00:26:35and you're not even

00:26:37one third of the way

00:26:38into winning

00:26:39this matchup.

00:26:40A lot of minutes

00:26:41already on

00:26:41a lot of people.

00:26:43A lot of miles

00:26:43on the clock

00:26:44of some of these women

00:26:46and they are just

00:26:46racking up.

00:26:47Higher and higher

00:26:48by the second

00:26:49and Chelsea's close.

00:26:50Chelsea trying to hang on.

00:26:51Liv Morgan

00:26:52trying to eliminate

00:26:52the current

00:26:54United States champion.

00:26:55Chelsea was close.

00:26:57Might have to review that.

00:26:58Referee Eddie Arango

00:26:59is right there

00:27:00as we now wait

00:27:01entry number nine.

00:27:02All three,

00:27:04one,

00:27:14you want to talk

00:27:15about power

00:27:16for the first time

00:27:17in her career

00:27:18Lash Legend

00:27:20from NXT

00:27:21enters the Royal Rumble

00:27:23match.

00:27:24All 5-11

00:27:26of the Meta Girls

00:27:28in NXT

00:27:28alongside

00:27:29Jakara Jackson.

00:27:31Oh, it just

00:27:32Oh, and a right hand

00:27:34to Eoskye.

00:27:36And then a big kick

00:27:38legendary pump kick

00:27:40legendary right hand

00:27:43legendary backbreaker

00:27:44slam

00:27:46And now Lyra Valkyria.

00:27:49Lash Legend

00:27:49has cleaned house.

00:27:51Welcome to the Royal Rumble,

00:27:53Lash.

00:27:53Everyone else,

00:27:54welcome to Lash Legend.

00:27:56And then a deadlift

00:27:57Chronicle Suplex.

00:27:59And a hip-hop.

00:28:01Are you kidding me?

00:28:02Former WNBA

00:28:04superstar

00:28:05Lash is the real deal.

00:28:07Holy hell

00:28:10Yeah, I think so.

00:28:11Maybe you should bring her to

00:28:12Indiana,

00:28:13team up with Caitlin.

00:28:14Get her on the fever.

00:28:15And here we go now.

00:28:18Ivy Nile,

00:28:19not quite sure what she was trying to do there,

00:28:20but Lash is just too big and too strong.

00:28:22And using Ivy as a weapon.

00:28:25Like a battering ram,

00:28:26she's swinging around the ring.

00:28:28What a game-changing superstar

00:28:31Lash Legend truly is

00:28:32as the Pitbull Ivy Nile tries

00:28:34and fails

00:28:35to pull out something.

00:28:37Now B-Fab from behind.

00:28:44Oh, B-Fab a trash-talking

00:28:46with Lash Legend

00:28:47and now B-Fab and Lash Legend

00:28:48exchanging blows.

00:28:49Lash Legend said,

00:28:50let's go ahead and do this.

00:28:52Sounded B-Fab.

00:28:53B-Fab has turned this

00:28:55into a street fight

00:28:56just how she likes it.

00:28:57But the bougie bully,

00:28:59Lash Legend.

00:29:00Oh!

00:29:00And both women down.

00:29:02Finally,

00:29:03someone knocking the stuffing

00:29:04out of Lash,

00:29:05but what an entrance that was.

00:29:06And Chelsea,

00:29:07look at it eliminated.

00:29:08B-Fab it does!

00:29:10First elimination of the night.

00:29:12Chelsea Green

00:29:13celebrating the elimination

00:29:14of one of her enemies,

00:29:16B-Fab.

00:29:17Celebrating might not be

00:29:18the right act at this point

00:29:20in the Royal Rumble.

00:29:21There's a lot more people

00:29:22that need to be eliminated

00:29:23before you can start celebrations

00:29:25and Lash is teetering

00:29:26on the brink.

00:29:27Michael Cole's white suit

00:29:29almost got ruined.

00:29:30B-Fab frustrating.

00:29:33Number 10,

00:29:34we're a third of the way through!

00:29:43The E-S-T!

00:29:45Bianca Belair!

00:29:47Well,

00:29:48position one is terrible.

00:29:50Position ten is

00:29:51slightly better,

00:29:52but if anybody can do it,

00:29:54it is the E-S-T.

00:29:56In 2021,

00:29:57Wade,

00:29:58Bianca Belair

00:29:59won the Royal Rumble

00:30:00when she lasted

00:30:0156 minutes

00:30:03and 52 seconds,

00:30:05entering at number three.

00:30:07We'll put a table together

00:30:08of the best women performances

00:30:10over the past five years,

00:30:12and Bianca Belair

00:30:13is right there at the top.

00:30:15This has been

00:30:16the woman

00:30:17in WWE.

00:30:18Will she be the woman tonight?

00:30:20And Bianca Belair

00:30:21has spent more time

00:30:22in the Royal Rumble

00:30:22than any woman.

00:30:25Over three hours

00:30:27in this match.

00:30:28She's number five all time

00:30:30with 14 eliminations.

00:30:32Here's part of the problem

00:30:33when the ring

00:30:33is this forward.

00:30:34You just saw

00:30:35Bianca Belair

00:30:36throw three women

00:30:37to the able.

00:30:38Abram couldn't finish

00:30:39the job

00:30:40because there's so many

00:30:41women coming to attack

00:30:42her as soon as she does it.

00:30:44Certainly a lot of traffic.

00:30:45Bianca Belair

00:30:45used to that.

00:30:46Championship pedigree

00:30:47as Indianapolis, Indiana

00:30:49says,

00:30:50welcome to the Royal Rumble.

00:30:53Okay, backflip,

00:30:54no problem.

00:30:55Uber athleticism

00:30:56by Bianca Belair.

00:30:58What happened?

00:30:58Women's Tag Team Champions.

00:31:01Belair.

00:31:03Eyes on the back

00:31:04of her head.

00:31:05Talk about showing up

00:31:07and showing out.

00:31:08That has been

00:31:09the Bianca Belair story

00:31:10from the beginning.

00:31:13And you know,

00:31:14Raid,

00:31:14you talked about,

00:31:15and look at this,

00:31:16into the corner.

00:31:17You talked about

00:31:17the ring filling up

00:31:18with people.

00:31:19It allows those

00:31:20like Liv Morgan

00:31:20to catch your breath

00:31:21to enter number two.

00:31:23She's hanging out

00:31:23in the corner

00:31:24as Bianca Belair now.

00:31:25Abram's the way

00:31:26on everybody.

00:31:27Bianca Belair

00:31:28has stacked four participants

00:31:29on top of each other.

00:31:31Making five.

00:31:34Oh, right to the

00:31:35midsection of Liv.

00:31:36Bianca Belair is too good.

00:31:38This is a cheat code.

00:31:39It's unfair

00:31:40to the other 29 women

00:31:41in this match.

00:31:42You're talking about

00:31:42the EST win.

00:31:44Wow!

00:31:44The best,

00:31:45the quickest,

00:31:46the fiercest,

00:31:47the smartest.

00:31:49Bianca's just having fun

00:31:50out there

00:31:51as she dominates

00:31:52and runs into EO.

00:31:55They've got a history.

00:31:56Big right.

00:31:58Number 11

00:32:00about to enter

00:32:01as Bianca

00:32:02looks to eliminate EO

00:32:03who's hanging on now.

00:32:04One of the favorites

00:32:06almost out.

00:32:11Zoe Stark has backup.

00:32:13Shayna Baszler

00:32:14from Pure Fusion Collective.

00:32:17One of the most

00:32:18prolific competitors

00:32:19in Royal Rumble history.

00:32:22She is historic

00:32:23at the Rumble.

00:32:24She is tied

00:32:25for most eliminations

00:32:26in a single Rumble

00:32:27with eight

00:32:28in 2021.

00:32:29Tied with both

00:32:30Bianca and Nia.

00:32:31And it's never

00:32:32just about sporting

00:32:34competition

00:32:34when it comes to Baszler.

00:32:36Injured numerous women

00:32:38in the locker room,

00:32:39the likes of Vega,

00:32:40Carter, and Chance,

00:32:41Dakota Kai,

00:32:41and most recently

00:32:43Kairi Sane.

00:32:44And yeah,

00:32:44she's had to add

00:32:45to that list right here.

00:32:47The submission magician

00:32:49to Liv Morgan.

00:32:51Trying to make people

00:32:51snap, tap,

00:32:53or track.

00:32:54Oh God,

00:32:55the arm of EO Sky

00:32:57there just bended

00:32:58in the completely

00:32:59the wrong direction.

00:33:00Everybody beat Dan.

00:33:02It was great for Shayna

00:33:02at the beginning.

00:33:03Lyra Valkyria

00:33:04who's had issues

00:33:05with that group as well.

00:33:07Oh no, no, no.

00:33:07Zoe Stark slipped

00:33:08off the top rope,

00:33:09still able to recover.

00:33:10That is tremendous

00:33:11athleticism.

00:33:11Do what Zoe just did.

00:33:13Yeah, it should be

00:33:13illegal to have

00:33:14that kind of movement

00:33:15but Zoe Stark has got it

00:33:17and she's got a nasty,

00:33:19remorseless attitude

00:33:20to go with it.

00:33:21That is why

00:33:21she is so dangerous.

00:33:23She's the awareness

00:33:24right there

00:33:24to be able to transition.

00:33:26Trying to hang on.

00:33:26We talk about

00:33:27it's every woman

00:33:27for themselves

00:33:28but you got teammates

00:33:29now working together

00:33:30to try to eliminate

00:33:31the field

00:33:31and Stark and Baszler.

00:33:33It's about the best

00:33:34thing Stark and Baszler

00:33:35can do right now.

00:33:36Gang up on every

00:33:37single woman

00:33:38in this matchup.

00:33:40Lyra!

00:33:40That double missile

00:33:42into a kip-up.

00:33:43Unless you're both

00:33:44going to get your ass

00:33:45kicked by Lyra.

00:33:46And now Ivy Nile

00:33:47looking to eliminate

00:33:47the Intercontinental Champion

00:33:48and it does!

00:33:50The Pitbull

00:33:50with an elimination

00:33:52of the champ

00:33:52and Ivy saying

00:33:53I'm coming after your title.

00:34:00We await number 12.

00:34:04Got a couple of eliminations.

00:34:06Who will join the fight?

00:34:16Listen to these days.

00:34:19Cole Kogan,

00:34:21Stone Cold Steve Austin,

00:34:22Shawn Michaels,

00:34:25Cody Rhodes,

00:34:27the only people

00:34:28in the history

00:34:29of the Rumble

00:34:29to go back-to-back.

00:34:31Bayley could join

00:34:32that illustrious crowd

00:34:33if she wins

00:34:34the Rumble tonight.

00:34:35Last year,

00:34:36set a record.

00:34:37One hour,

00:34:38three minutes,

00:34:38one second

00:34:39to win the Rumble

00:34:40and go on to win

00:34:41a world title

00:34:42at WrestleMania.

00:34:43What happened

00:34:43to you, Michael Cole?

00:34:45You have been

00:34:45trash-talking Bayley

00:34:47for the best part

00:34:48of the last four years

00:34:49and suddenly

00:34:49you're being

00:34:50Mr. Nice about it.

00:34:51She's a Hall of Famer.

00:34:52She's been so good

00:34:53but he has to

00:34:54respect her, Wade.

00:34:55That's where we're

00:34:55at right now

00:34:56with Bayley.

00:34:56You should have

00:34:56respected her

00:34:57five years ago.

00:34:58I don't get

00:34:58the sudden change.

00:34:59Agreed, agreed.

00:35:01Roxanne Perez

00:35:01and Bayley

00:35:02going at it.

00:35:03Remember, Wade,

00:35:04what's going to happen

00:35:04in a couple of weeks

00:35:05in NXT Vengeance Day.

00:35:07Julia defends

00:35:08the NXT Women's Title

00:35:10against Roxanne Perez

00:35:11and Bayley.

00:35:13Well,

00:35:14high stakes.

00:35:14Bayley loves her

00:35:15NXT like no one else.

00:35:17Helped build that.

00:35:19Oh!

00:35:19Brand.

00:35:21And is continuing

00:35:22here,

00:35:23kicking some ass

00:35:24in the Royal Rumble.

00:35:2617 eliminations

00:35:27in her career

00:35:28and now

00:35:28this is interesting.

00:35:30Bayley is the one

00:35:31who brought

00:35:31EO Sky to WWE

00:35:32when she formed

00:35:34Damage Control

00:35:35with Dakota Kai.

00:35:38And of course,

00:35:40Bayley unceremoniously

00:35:41kicked out

00:35:42of Damage Control

00:35:43last year

00:35:43and now Zoe Stark

00:35:45and Shayna Baszler,

00:35:46Pure Music Collective,

00:35:47great story with them

00:35:48and Damage Control

00:35:49as well.

00:35:49Well,

00:35:50it would behoove

00:35:51Bayley and EO Sky

00:35:52to get on the same

00:35:53page together

00:35:54once again,

00:35:54albeit briefly,

00:35:56just to combat

00:35:57Pure Fusion Collective

00:35:59here.

00:35:59I do appreciate

00:36:00the fact that

00:36:01the Royal Rumble

00:36:01provides an opportunity

00:36:02to get some beef

00:36:03settled for a little bit.

00:36:05And now Shayna Baszler

00:36:05over the top,

00:36:06Bayley looking to eliminate.

00:36:08Number 13 on the way.

00:36:11Uh-oh.

00:36:12We've got a full bill

00:36:14now, ladies and gentlemen,

00:36:15for Pure Fusion Collective

00:36:16because Sonya Deville

00:36:17is going to join

00:36:18Zoe Stark

00:36:19and Shayna Baszler

00:36:20in this match.

00:36:21One of the most

00:36:22diabolical human beings

00:36:24we have

00:36:25in the women's locker room.

00:36:27The trifecta of evil

00:36:29in PFC

00:36:31is complete

00:36:32and things look bleak

00:36:33for every single woman

00:36:35in this matchup.

00:36:36I would like to retweet

00:36:37everything that Wade Barrett

00:36:38just said right there

00:36:39about Sonya Deville.

00:36:40Sonya Deville,

00:36:41the evil behind

00:36:42Pure Fusion Collective,

00:36:43saw the potential

00:36:45in Stark and Baszler

00:36:46and brought them together.

00:36:47Well, here's the thing

00:36:48about Sonya Deville

00:36:48as much as we rave

00:36:50about her athletic skills,

00:36:51such a high IQ.

00:36:52Oh, what a sphere!

00:36:54And we're getting to see

00:36:55those athletic skills here.

00:36:56She knows how to manipulate

00:36:58and play the politics game

00:36:59and that has certainly

00:37:01helped her ingratiate her

00:37:02to Zoe Stark

00:37:04and Shayna Baszler.

00:37:05What a terrifying trio

00:37:06these three are.

00:37:06Yeah, she's a pure shooter.

00:37:08mentioned in the top

00:37:08of the broadcast

00:37:09who are sold out

00:37:10at Lucas Oil Stadium

00:37:12over 70,000.

00:37:1370,000!

00:37:14Oh, Deville's advocate

00:37:16to Chelsea Green

00:37:18as Chelsea was trying

00:37:19to make friends.

00:37:2070,000 plus

00:37:21just booed Sonya Deville.

00:37:22She does not care.

00:37:23And now Pure Fusion

00:37:24Collective

00:37:25working together

00:37:26as a unit.

00:37:2770,000 plus?

00:37:29Yes.

00:37:29They can boo

00:37:30all they want, Pat.

00:37:31The truth is

00:37:32this is not

00:37:32a popularity contest.

00:37:34Oh, what a rolling

00:37:35Death Valley driver.

00:37:39Chelsea.

00:37:39Got a lot of different

00:37:40strategies happening

00:37:41this late into

00:37:41the Royal Rumble.

00:37:43Chelsea,

00:37:44are you eliminated?

00:37:46She called timeout.

00:37:47Are you eliminated?

00:37:48Oh, okay.

00:37:49Chelsea said

00:37:49she was calling timeout.

00:37:50She's not eliminated.

00:37:51She was sitting right

00:37:52in front of our

00:37:52announce table here.

00:37:53Don't help her up, Cole.

00:37:55It's our United States

00:37:56champion.

00:37:56I was about to applaud

00:37:57that she was out,

00:37:58but I guess she's still

00:37:59in this match.

00:38:00She's supposed to be neutral.

00:38:01She was yelling

00:38:01for the ref squad timeout.

00:38:03She wanted a 30-second.

00:38:04This is in the NFL

00:38:05and our reps are good.

00:38:07That would be the NBA

00:38:07and valid.

00:38:08Well, the ring

00:38:09has now been sunk

00:38:10out of this matchup

00:38:11by PFC

00:38:13who are reaching

00:38:14new levels

00:38:15of depravity in there

00:38:16and taking out

00:38:17every woman who moves.

00:38:19Somebody's been reading

00:38:19the thesaurus.

00:38:21Wow, I like that one.

00:38:22I'm just English.

00:38:23We have wide vocabulary.

00:38:24Number 14

00:38:25from the Alpha Academy,

00:38:27Maxine.

00:38:29Two, three.

00:38:30Oh, you nailed it, Cole.

00:38:32Second rumble for Maxine.

00:38:34Well, Maxine has no idea

00:38:36what she's letting herself

00:38:37in for here

00:38:38because PFC

00:38:39are licking their chops

00:38:41at probably

00:38:42the most inexperienced woman

00:38:44on the roster.

00:38:45Maxine's been working

00:38:46for this moment.

00:38:47She knows that there's

00:38:48going to be odds to face.

00:38:57Now, Ivy and Maxine,

00:38:59they used to be best friends.

00:39:00They used to travel together.

00:39:02All around the country together.

00:39:04And then Ivy and Isle

00:39:06decided to go to the dark side

00:39:07with Chad and company

00:39:08and Maxine Dupree now

00:39:09with a mission

00:39:10and what a move by Maxine.

00:39:12This is fantastic

00:39:13from Maxine

00:39:13and PFC stood in the corner

00:39:15enjoying the show.

00:39:17And I'm enjoying that show.

00:39:19Hang homage to Otis.

00:39:22Get your head out of the gutter.

00:39:27You're a reputable analyst.

00:39:29It's a famous call.

00:39:30And now look at

00:39:31the person enjoying this.

00:39:32Bayley and Io and Bianca

00:39:34going right after

00:39:35Pure Fusion Collective.

00:39:37Maxine!

00:39:38Yeah!

00:39:39Yeah!

00:39:40Yeah!

00:39:40Maxine yet again

00:39:41can to Kiploff.

00:39:43Yeah!

00:39:43Formerly trained

00:39:45into Chad Gable

00:39:46but extending

00:39:47that training

00:39:48into Otis.

00:39:50There it is!

00:39:52The reverse

00:39:53Caterpillar

00:39:54with an elbow!

00:39:56Otis' word!

00:39:58What an homage!

00:39:59What execution!

00:40:01This is the Maxine Dupree

00:40:02coming out party!

00:40:05And that!

00:40:07Ivy's out!

00:40:08Maxine!

00:40:09Ivy's out!

00:40:10Going out party!

00:40:11Maxine eliminated

00:40:12and as she celebrated

00:40:13she was eliminated as well.

00:40:15Maxine eliminated Ivy.

00:40:18Pure Fusion Collective

00:40:19would then eliminate Maxine

00:40:20during the celebration.

00:40:22That's where the experience

00:40:23factor weighs in a little bit.

00:40:25This would be a learning lesson.

00:40:27You can't pat yourself

00:40:27on the back

00:40:28in the Royal Rumble.

00:40:30Hell of a run though

00:40:31for Maxine.

00:40:32Two, three!

00:40:41We are officially halfway

00:40:43to the Women's Royal Rumble match.

00:40:47Bianca Belair

00:40:48has some backup.

00:40:50Her tag team partner

00:40:51won after the tag champs,

00:40:53Naomi

00:40:53on her way to the ring

00:40:55in her seventh Royal Rumble match.

00:40:58You feeling the glow, Wade?

00:40:59I'm feeling it right now.

00:41:01I'm running a party.

00:41:02I've known

00:41:02Naomi for the best part

00:41:04of 17 years now

00:41:05from a time in Florida

00:41:06Championship Wrestling.

00:41:08A woman who continues

00:41:09to grow from strength

00:41:11to strength

00:41:12with a feather in her cap.

00:41:13It will be

00:41:14if she takes out

00:41:15Pure Fusion Collective here.

00:41:17Yeah, Zoe

00:41:17hanging on to the apron.

00:41:18Now goes after Chelsea Green,

00:41:20does Naomi.

00:41:20Naomi breakout year

00:41:22last year

00:41:22lasted an hour.

00:41:23Two minutes,

00:41:2418 seconds.

00:41:25Blockbuster

00:41:25from the top rope

00:41:26by Naomi.

00:41:27On Chelsea Green,

00:41:29the least popular

00:41:30member of the locker room

00:41:31taken out by Naomi,

00:41:33the most popular

00:41:33member of the locker room.

00:41:35Slid underneath

00:41:36the lariat.

00:41:37Big kick to the back.

00:41:39Naomi ready

00:41:40to get some more gold.

00:41:42Naomi was in a war

00:41:43on SmackDown

00:41:44last night.

00:41:44Not much chance

00:41:45for recovery,

00:41:46unfortunately,

00:41:47for her.

00:41:48Roxanne Perez

00:41:49has been impressive thus far.

00:41:50She entered this match

00:41:51at number three.

00:41:52Well, one, two, and three

00:41:53are all still

00:41:54in this match.

00:41:55Jopio Sky, of course,

00:41:57and Liv Morgan included

00:41:58in those numbers.

00:42:00Haley and DeVille

00:42:01going at it.

00:42:02I gotta say,

00:42:03the conditioning

00:42:04and cardio

00:42:05that's on display

00:42:06right now,

00:42:06unbelievable.

00:42:07Oh, yeah,

00:42:07you had unbelievable

00:42:08stamina

00:42:09in your appearance

00:42:10last year.

00:42:1038 seconds.

00:42:12Yeah,

00:42:12and I barely made it

00:42:13through that goal

00:42:13as you learned earlier.

00:42:16That's a long time

00:42:17for me.

00:42:17Oh!

00:42:18But these...

00:42:19Look at the tag champs!

00:42:20Working together!

00:42:2230 minutes,

00:42:23power on display!

00:42:23Double K-O-D

00:42:25There it is!

00:42:26of Joey Skar!

00:42:27Moonsault by Skar!

00:42:29This one's really

00:42:30breaking down

00:42:30a lot of debilitated

00:42:32women in that matchup here.

00:42:34How could you not be?

00:42:35Joey Skar

00:42:35eliminated

00:42:36by the tag team champions.

00:42:38Champs are working together.

00:42:39Meanwhile,

00:42:39on this side,

00:42:40Shayna Baszler's out as well.

00:42:42And now Sonya DeVille!

00:42:43Sonya DeVille is out too!

00:42:45All of PFC eliminated

00:42:46in the span of 10 seconds!

00:42:49That's gotta be

00:42:49the universe talking.

00:42:51Maybe they'll look in the mirror

00:42:52and be better people

00:42:52going forward.

00:42:54But things hit it up

00:42:55quickly here at the Rumble.

00:42:56Well, the women remaining

00:42:57in this matchup

00:42:58really figured it out.

00:43:00Let's put our own rivalries

00:43:01aside for a second

00:43:02and focus on the big threat,

00:43:04which is or was

00:43:05PFC.

00:43:06They've got it.

00:43:07Number 16

00:43:08about Danner.

00:43:16Big ovation

00:43:17for this young woman

00:43:18from NXT.

00:43:19Her first Royal Rumble,

00:43:21Jada Parker

00:43:22from OTM

00:43:23on NXT.

00:43:26The first time

00:43:27she's appeared

00:43:27at the Rumble.

00:43:29This is a woman

00:43:30prepared to snatch some hair

00:43:31or slap someone's mama

00:43:33in order to get herself

00:43:35to the top.

00:43:36A soccer standout

00:43:37during her days

00:43:39in college

00:43:39and many have said

00:43:40the best holding midfielder

00:43:42since N'Golo Kante.

00:43:44But this is a very

00:43:45different game now.

00:43:46What makes Jada Parker

00:43:47so dangerous?

00:43:48It's the attitude

00:43:49of obvious athletic abilities.

00:43:51He's got a great build,

00:43:52but on top of that,

00:43:54that is deadly attitude

00:43:56ready to destroy

00:43:57the top women

00:43:58such as Liv Morgan.

00:44:00This woman is fearless.

00:44:01You know, Pat,

00:44:02it's like

00:44:02she doesn't

00:44:03she has so much confidence.

00:44:04Yeah, I mean,

00:44:06if Jada goes up

00:44:06to the Hall of Famer,

00:44:08which is certainly

00:44:08possible seemingly.

00:44:11I mean,

00:44:12this is in the documentary

00:44:13First Royal Rumble.

00:44:15Getting something

00:44:16of an NXT takeover

00:44:18tonight in this matchup.

00:44:20Last Legend.

00:44:25Bianca and Naomi.

00:44:27Okay.

00:44:28We're getting some alliances.

00:44:29This is smart strategy

00:44:31from the NXT ladies.

00:44:34Look at Chelsea.

00:44:35She wants to be a part as well.

00:44:37Oh!

00:44:40Oh, couldn't have happened

00:44:41to a nicer person.

00:44:43The awareness, Chelsea.

00:44:44The awareness.

00:44:45Well, the alliance

00:44:46between Lash

00:44:47and Jada Parker

00:44:49is surely over.

00:44:50Well, it definitely is now.

00:44:52Lash is out.

00:44:52Chelsea Green

00:44:53just eliminated

00:44:54Lash Legend.

00:44:59Chelsea!

00:45:00Chelsea!

00:45:01Chelsea!

00:45:03Chelsea!

00:45:04Five!

00:45:05Four!

00:45:06United States champs

00:45:07staring at the tag team champs.

00:45:13Well, Chelsea's got

00:45:14some backup.

00:45:17Her

00:45:19Secret Service director,

00:45:21Piper Niven,

00:45:22is on her way to the ring.

00:45:24Piper and Chelsea

00:45:25former tag champs.

00:45:26Now, Chelsea Green

00:45:27is she just sitting over the top.

00:45:29She stepped through

00:45:30and she's begging Piper

00:45:31to hurry and make it

00:45:32to the ring

00:45:32to help her.

00:45:33Well, that's your job

00:45:34as a Secret Service member.

00:45:37But let's not forget

00:45:38Piper Niven

00:45:38for years around the world

00:45:40has been a proudly

00:45:42belligerent woman

00:45:43and she now takes her job

00:45:45of protecting

00:45:46the United States champion

00:45:48very seriously.

00:45:49Chelsea trying to hang on.

00:45:50I guess she did go

00:45:51over the top rope

00:45:52and Piper Niven

00:45:53now out to the apron

00:46:04Such a great duo.

00:46:06And she went under the rope

00:46:07so she couldn't be eliminated.

00:46:08But here's Piper Niven now,

00:46:09the powerhouse

00:46:10in her third rumble.

00:46:11Look at Piper

00:46:20We're about to see

00:46:22some bone-crushing offense.

00:46:24Oh, and that's

00:46:25a perfect example

00:46:27Bone-crusher.

00:46:50Uh-oh!

00:46:51Kelsey may go out.

00:48:17Trying to dump Io out.

00:48:19Io trying to hang on.

00:48:22Roxanne Perez now

00:48:23from behind.

00:48:24Got a bit of a history

00:48:24with Natalya.

00:48:26Who doesn't have history

00:48:28with Natalya?

00:48:29She's competed

00:48:29against a who's who

00:48:31of anybody who's anybody

00:48:32over the past 15 years.

00:48:34Roxanne's been in this

00:48:35match well over a half hour.

00:48:3733 minutes.

00:48:38Still in there.

00:48:40Natalya is trying

00:48:41to eliminate her.

00:48:41What a performance tonight

00:48:43by Roxanne Perez,

00:48:45the former NXT

00:48:45Women's Champion.

00:48:47Oh, goodness!

00:48:48Has been outstanding,

00:48:49but Jada Parker,

00:48:51who has been a mainstay

00:48:53of programming on NXT

00:48:54over the past 12 months

00:48:56is really announcing

00:48:57herself here

00:48:58at the Royal Rumble.

00:49:00Looking to eliminate

00:49:01Natalya there.

00:49:01Here's Parker.

00:49:03Jada, brand new

00:49:04versus OG Natty

00:49:05in the corner.

00:49:06Great fight

00:49:07as our tag champs

00:49:09continue to do

00:49:10battle together.

00:49:11Number 19.

00:49:13It's heating up

00:49:14in here.

00:49:27Incredible ovation

00:49:29for Jordan Grace.

00:49:31It's her second Rumble

00:49:32appearance,

00:49:33but wait,

00:49:34unlike last year,

00:49:35this year,

00:49:36Jordan Grace is part

00:49:37of WWE.

00:49:39He's officially

00:49:40under our umbrella now,

00:49:42and fans around the world

00:49:43were in Raptures.

00:49:44The only people unhappy

00:49:45is every woman

00:49:46in this Royal Rumble

00:49:47matchup,

00:49:49because things just

00:49:50got a lot more

00:49:51difficult to win.

00:49:52Yeah, the powerful

00:49:53Jordan Grace,

00:49:54a three-time Impact

00:49:55TNA Knockouts Champion.

00:49:57Thank God for TNA

00:49:58for introducing her

00:49:59to the world.

00:50:00Last year's Royal Rumble

00:50:01performance, I assume,

00:50:03is gonna look very similar

00:50:04to what we're about

00:50:05to see right now.

00:50:06Who the hell

00:50:07keeps throwing clotheslines

00:50:08as they're getting choked out

00:50:09with Roxanne Perez

00:50:10on their back?

00:50:11Jordan Grace, apparently.

00:50:12Jada Parker,

00:50:13looking to eliminate.

00:50:14Grace Grace, though,

00:50:14from the apron,

00:50:15launches herself up

00:50:16over the rope.

00:50:17Jada Parker now

00:50:18set up over the top

00:50:19out to the apron as well.

00:50:21Jordan with a kick

00:50:22right to the face.

00:50:24Jordan Grace just

00:50:24does everything with you.

00:50:25Jada Parker eliminated

00:50:26by Jordan Grace.

00:50:29And she does

00:50:30in LeBron Wall.

00:50:32That big mistake

00:50:33celebrating

00:50:34in the Royal Rumble

00:50:35match.

00:50:36Eats it.

00:50:36And the same

00:50:37for the same

00:50:38with Piper Nibbeck.

00:50:40Look at Jordan Grace,

00:50:41lifting Piper up

00:50:42on her shoulders.

00:50:44Jordan Bones.

00:50:45Dead Valley driver

00:50:46by Grace.

00:50:52Holy shit.

00:50:56I think they heard you,

00:50:59Pat.

00:50:59Yeah, that's one way

00:51:00to put it.

00:51:01Yeah.

00:51:01The chat leader,

00:51:02Pat McAfee.

00:51:03And Naomi and Jordan

00:51:04Grace are over.

00:51:05They have a history

00:51:06back in TNA.

00:51:08Great friends

00:51:09are back in TNA.

00:51:10And Bianca Belair

00:51:11saying,

00:51:11wait a minute.

00:51:12Get your head

00:51:13back in the game,

00:51:14Naomi.

00:51:15This is how you treat

00:51:16fellow competitors.

00:51:17Trying to be eliminated.

00:51:18Bianca cannot believe

00:51:19that her tag team partner

00:51:21embrace Grace

00:51:21as we wait

00:51:23for number 20

00:51:23and we're officially

00:51:24two-thirds

00:51:25of the way through this.

00:51:26What a moment.

00:51:29What a moment.

00:51:39Meachin.

00:51:43Meachin,

00:51:44the menace,

00:51:44one of the most

00:51:45hardcore women

00:51:46this industry

00:51:47has ever seen

00:51:49and she's drawn a number.

00:51:50Anything 20 and above

00:51:52as a competitor,

00:51:54you really start

00:51:55fancying your chances

00:51:56of pulling this one off.

00:52:01got to go back

00:52:02and take a look

00:52:02at the powerful move

00:52:03by Jordan Grace.

00:52:04This is incredible.

00:52:05Yeah, Piper Niven

00:52:06simply isn't used

00:52:07to being treated

00:52:08like this

00:52:09by anybody

00:52:10and Piper Niven

00:52:11hasn't quite looked

00:52:12the same

00:52:12ever since.

00:52:14I don't know

00:52:15how many Nivens

00:52:16on earth, Wade,

00:52:18with that much ease

00:52:19and then laying it

00:52:20on her feet afterwards.

00:52:21Oh, and

00:52:22into the corner.

00:52:24Probably that lift

00:52:25alone though

00:52:26from Jordan Grace

00:52:27tells a hell

00:52:28of a lot

00:52:28out of Jordan Grace

00:52:29herself.

00:52:30Expended a lot

00:52:31of energy

00:52:31pretty much

00:52:32in a squat PB

00:52:33right there.

00:52:34And now

00:52:35I can still try

00:52:35somehow figure out

00:52:36how to win this match.

00:52:38On the other side

00:52:38now,

00:52:39Bianca's in deep,

00:52:40deep trouble.

00:52:41Bianca may be

00:52:42eliminated here.

00:52:43Playing it on

00:52:44by her fingertips

00:52:45and Natalya

00:52:46and the both

00:52:47doing her best

00:52:47to eliminate

00:52:48the EST.

00:52:50Easier said

00:52:51than done.

00:52:51H and of course

00:52:52with a history

00:52:52with Piper Niven.

00:52:53There is a

00:52:54one for each defeat.

00:52:55Piper Niven

00:52:55would not allow

00:52:56it to happen

00:52:56and slams Meechan

00:52:57with that

00:52:58Piper driver.

00:52:59She's wanted

00:53:00to remind people

00:53:01after what happened

00:53:01with Jordan Grace.

00:53:03Meechan of course

00:53:03in her fourth Rumble.

00:53:07Maybe eliminated

00:53:08here by Piper.

00:53:09Meechan had real

00:53:10disappointment

00:53:10last night

00:53:11against the

00:53:12United States

00:53:13champion

00:53:13Chelsea Green.

00:53:15Thanks in part

00:53:16to Piper Niven.

00:53:17No love lost

00:53:18between those two.

00:53:19We are 10 seconds

00:53:20away now

00:53:21from entry 21

00:53:22in the Rumble.

00:53:234, 3, 2, 1.

00:53:32Changes from the

00:53:34quyяж

00:53:35Veni.

00:53:432.

00:53:443.

00:53:44Lo losses

00:53:4423.

00:53:44Lo потер

00:53:454.

00:53:51Loör

00:53:512.

00:53:541, 2.

00:54:16I thought she wasn't coming back!

00:54:18The internet said she wasn't coming back!

00:54:21We all thought she wasn't coming back!

00:54:24Stop reading the dirt sheets, Michael Cole!

00:54:27Every woman in this matchup has a look of shock!

00:54:31And now Drake is one of the biggest hitters there can be!

00:54:35Alexa Bliss is back!

00:54:37And she's face-to-face with a long-time rival!

00:54:43Bayley and Alexa Bliss, and Bliss is here!

00:54:45And down goes Bayley!

00:54:47And this place is going crazy for her!

00:54:50From Ohio, Big Les Girl!

00:54:53Basement drop kick by Bliss!

00:54:55Down goes Bayley!

00:55:03Vintage Bliss right there!

00:55:04Been missing for a long time, but clearly has not lost a step!

00:55:10And look at Razor Shop!

00:55:14And she is so happy to be back!

00:55:19And now Bliss, it may be a quick one, though, for Alexa Bliss!

00:55:24Natalya desperately hanging on that smart move from the veteran managed to negotiate her way out of that one,

00:55:30and may well ruin the party for Alexa Bliss before it really got started!

00:55:36Hold on!

00:55:37Hold on!

00:55:42Way the newest member of the SmackDown roster!

00:55:45In her sixth Rumble match!

00:55:47Zelina Vega!

00:55:49What an outfit!

00:55:51She's about to get in that ring and drop some souciers, as she likes to call them!

00:55:58Zelina Vega, get in there and set your heart ablaze!

00:56:05Sixth Rhym Royal Rumble would love an opportunity in WrestleMania!

00:56:10Great move by Vega, she takes out Bayley!

00:56:15We have Morgan, her second entrance, still in this thing!

00:56:19Battling with Zelina!

00:56:20Zelina Vega, another one who's not been happy at her lack of opportunities over the past six months or so!

00:56:27Oh, look at that!

00:56:27Nice Tornado DDT!

00:56:29Jordan Grace now comes after Vega!

00:56:31Hey, you want to earn an opportunity tonight, win this match!

00:56:33Well, this is exactly how you do it, that has to be the game plan!

00:56:36Got a great draw at number 21, I believe!

00:56:40Can't ask for two, much more!

00:56:42The ball is in your court, Zelina Vega!

00:56:44Yeah, great opportunity to prove why!

00:56:46You've been saying, give me an opportunity!

00:56:48Give me a rocket ship!

00:56:49Let me...

00:56:50She's trying to set up for something big!

00:56:52And Vega...

00:56:53Code!

00:56:54At 20...

00:56:54Code!

00:56:55Red!

00:56:57By Vega!

00:56:59A move invented by her cousin, the amazing Red!

00:57:03And now perfected off the ropes by Zelina Vega!

00:57:08Now, Bayley again with Alexa Bliss in the court.

00:57:11Bayley won last year's Rumble, looking to go back-to-back.

00:57:15And now Natalya.

00:57:17Look at her use her power.

00:57:19Alexa Bliss, yet again, up on the rope.

00:57:20Bob Rope!

00:57:21Leo Sky teetering on the brink at this point.

00:57:24Number one may well about to be eliminated by Papa Niven.

00:57:29Double team!

00:57:29No idea how there's still so much energy and fight happening right now.

00:57:33Yeah, Liv and Io and Roxanne were the first three.

00:57:35They're still in this match.

00:57:37And we talked about PFC ganging up on the other women.

00:57:40Now it is the tag champs, Naomi and Bel-Air, doing the same.

00:57:44Wonderful strategy.

00:57:50Entering at number 23, the Poison Pixie, Candice LeRae, for the fifth time in her career, is in the Royal

00:58:00Rumble.

00:58:03The woman who has ingratiated herself to Nia Jax in recent months, helped drive a wedge between Nia Jax and

00:58:13the new champ, Tiffany Stratton.

00:58:15And how much would Candice LeRae love to get a date with Destiny at WrestleMania against Tiffany Stratton?

00:58:21Hey, Candice played a big role last night in the Nia ambush on Stratton.

00:58:26Lucky here, and then the attack from the blind side.

00:58:29Candice LeRae.

00:58:32Candice LeRae has not got enough love from the WWE Universe over the past 12 months.

00:58:37The Poison Pixie, 20-plus year veteran with all the skills to make big things happen.

00:58:44Now, her attitude normally is one that is not that of somebody most people would like to pull for, but

00:58:49she can get the job done.

00:58:50Incredible! Backbreaker on the back of somebody else. Clever. Great high-ring IQ.

00:58:59Now, as Roxanne Perez, who's desperately clinging on, as the Poison Pixie does her best to start thinning the herd

00:59:06in this matchup.

00:59:07You can't help but be seeing a lot of people trying to catch their breath.

00:59:10It takes a lot of power to get somebody over to the top rope.

00:59:13Being on that top turnbuckle is about as bad a place as you can be in a match like this.

00:59:17Now, the thing's starting to look bleak for Candice LeRae.

00:59:22Candice is doing a number.

00:59:23Yeah, they had to push this as well, and they got Piper Niven stomping away at Roxanne Perez.

00:59:29Bianca Belair in trouble in the far corner. Candice is hanging on.

00:59:33Desperately clinging on by her fingertips, and Meechid is going for those small joints.

00:59:37But finally, it seems Candice LeRae manages to get out of trouble, but now at least, number 24.

00:59:44Look at Bella. He's dangling!

00:59:48Alves to our backup. There's Naomi.

01:00:03Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in her career, NXT Stephanie Vakar is here at the Rumble.

01:00:15Chilean-born superstar, the number one contender for the Women's North American Championship in NXT.

01:00:23It could get even bigger tonight for Stephanie Vakar.

01:00:26She takes on, plop!

01:00:27Alan Henley at Vengeance Day for the North American Championship.

01:00:31Wait, tell us about her.

01:00:33What a career she's had around the world.

01:00:34Yeah, absolutely incredible.

01:00:36Won championships all over South America.

01:00:39A woman who's got precision strikes.

01:00:41She's got a daredevil attitude.

01:00:43And seems to be absolutely fearless in this, the biggest spotlight of her entire career.

01:00:49Look at this now.

01:00:51Showed up in front of, okay, I like AI to Natalya.

01:00:56Tell you right now, Vic Joseph, the commentator in NXT, has been absolutely raving about Stephanie Vakar.

01:01:03Well, whatever you talk about just showing up in front of 70,000, springboard cross body, then just execute through.

01:01:09Look at that!

01:01:09Oh my goodness!

01:01:10Remember, Bayley's got bad knees.

01:01:12Bayley has bad knees.

01:01:13That's rag and screw there by Vakar, and Bayley could be in deep trouble.

01:01:17Of course, Bayley's got no knees after that.

01:01:20She's gonna need some sort of rehabilitation at minimum.

01:01:24Well, it's a film study by Vakar as well.

01:01:27Truly impressive star here.

01:01:29Tag Team Champs now.

01:01:31Double T!

01:01:32Alexa Bliss on the receiving end.

01:01:37Man, there's some real heavyweight women in this matchup with massive egos.

01:01:41All of them desperately aiming for that main event spot of Wrestlemania.

01:02:02What an ovation for the Hall of Famer!

01:02:07Trish Stratus going old school with what she's wearing tonight.

01:02:11Back when she debuted at WWE.

01:02:14Remember, she was the manager for T and A.

01:02:17Thank you, Trish.

01:02:19A woman who's given us all stratisfaction for 25 plus years, and it continues.

01:02:26Trish Stratus, a seven-time world champion, going out for a long-time rival, Natalya, in this matchup.

01:02:31Trish Stratus, looking better than ever, blew the roof off this place, Paul.

01:02:37The world in shock at the arrival of Trish Stratus.

01:02:41Considered perhaps the greatest woman superstar in history.

01:02:46Trish Stratus!

01:02:49Uh-oh, Jordan Grace intercepts.

01:02:51Uh-oh.

01:02:53And sends Trish into the corner.

01:02:54What a feather in the cap it would be for any woman to eliminate a living legend like Trish Stratus.

01:03:02Indeed it is!

01:03:03It's Trish with a double bulldog!

01:03:06This is awesome, Chance.

01:03:08For good reason, Trish Stratus.

01:03:11Cleaning everyone's club, but we gotta get some eliminations.

01:03:15This might be one here!

01:03:17Down goes Natalya!

01:03:19I love a little stratisfaction.

01:03:23Don't we all, Michael Cole?

01:03:26Piper Niven, though, enjoying the fact that she knocked down Trish.

01:03:29And, well, Piper, she fancies herself on Trish's level.

01:03:35Yeah, Piper will certainly ruin some people's nights if she eliminates Trish Stratus.

01:03:40Well, it can be much more difference in style between Piper Niven

01:03:44and Trish Stratus, I guarantee you with the mindset of Piper Niven

01:03:48she did not grow up a fan of Trish whatsoever.

01:03:53Trish Stratus, trailblazer of the industry.

01:04:00Oh, guess what?

01:04:03Liv Morgan, who entered at number two, finally has an ally.

01:04:09Raquel Rodriguez!

01:04:12For the second time in her career, is in the Rumble.

01:04:15Big mommy cool in the house, and the instruction from Liv Morgan a couple of weeks ago was very clear.

01:04:25Raquel Rodriguez is here for one reason, and one reason only, that is to ensure victory for Liv Morgan.

01:04:31And right there, she goes right after Natalya.

01:04:34She actually said as such yesterday.

01:04:36No, no, no, we asked Raquel the question, if it comes down to you and Liv, what would you do?

01:04:39Raquel said she'll play the game.

01:04:40Yeah, not quite sure when Wrestlemania's on the line.

01:04:43I'll believe that when I see it, trust me, things change rapidly.

01:04:47Double team, using Liv as a weapon onto Natalya.

01:04:51Liv more than happy to use her own body as a weapon in pursuit of victory, devil-may-care attitude.

01:04:59Liv Morgan.

01:05:01And now dumping Natalya over to the, oh, big slap.

01:05:05Liv now, oh, Cole Breaker eliminates Natalya.

01:05:10Now, if I was Raquel right now, I just can't Liv out of the ring.

01:05:13No, what are you talking about?

01:05:14She said she's here to ensure that Liv wins?

01:05:16You have no loyalty whatsoever, Michael Cole.

01:05:19You're a mercenary, unlike Raquel.

01:05:22Oh, no!

01:05:24Alexa trying to eliminate Liv Morgan.

01:05:27Raquel trying to eliminate Alexa Bliss, who's fighting back.

01:05:31Liv, heartbreaker.

01:05:32Alexa's out.

01:05:33Morgan has eliminated Bliss.

01:05:39My wife in all of Indianapolis is devastated that Alexa Bliss has been eliminated,

01:05:45but Liv Morgan racking up eliminations.

01:05:49The least popular elimination thus far.

01:05:52However, the story is to be continued, it would seem.

01:05:57They live in an EO.

01:05:59Both men in this match for over 53 minutes.

01:06:01Entry number 27 is coming.

01:06:05One, two, three.

01:06:07One, two, three.

01:06:21One, two, three.

01:06:53This place is thunderous.

01:06:58The play is back.

01:07:03Pop the royalty, Wade.

01:07:06It's been over a year since we've seen Charlotte Flair in action.

01:07:10Out with injury.

01:07:12The woman who won the Royal Rumble back in 2020.

01:07:18Pyro on a Royal Rumble entrance.

01:07:22Damn, you've got to be pretty special.

01:07:24And Charlotte Flair is exactly that.

01:07:27A game-changing, glass-ceiling-smashing queen of an entire industry.

01:07:36In four robos, she's eliminated 15 superstars.

01:07:42You can barely hear that, Pyro, because this crowd welcomed the queen back to WWE.

01:07:54And Charlotte in absolutely no hurry.

01:07:57Charlotte Flair is soaking it in.

01:07:59Charlotte Flair is heading to the ring.

01:08:01The game has changed, ladies and gentlemen.

01:08:04Charlotte's back.

01:08:06A woman with the kind of physical gifts that most people simply cannot manufacture.

01:08:17Welcome aboard, Roxanne.

01:08:20Some Flair chops to say hello to the WWE Universe.

01:08:28Jordan Grace, welcome.

01:08:34There's only one place you can put Charlotte Flair, and that is a main event.

01:08:41But Flair's gonna earn it the hard way here.

01:08:44Charlotte Flair, a 14-time world champion.

01:08:52The energy's different.

01:08:54Meechins out.

01:08:55Since Charlotte walked in here, Charlotte's fired up.

01:08:58Taking a lot of risk on that apron.

01:09:01But Charlotte Flair knows exactly what she's doing.

01:09:04The ultimate veteran.

01:09:06Double-crossed body by Flair.

01:09:12The finest genetics in the history of the industry.

01:09:16And with an attitude to match it on parallel success in the career of Charlotte Flair.

01:09:22And look at Grayson McCurr.

01:09:23Double-teaming Flair now with his vertical suplex.

01:09:27You have to.

01:09:28You've got no choice when someone is dangerous.

01:09:31Oh, look at that.

01:09:32What a move by Charlotte.

01:09:33The double-teaming DDT in a kimp up by the Queen.

01:09:41Yeah.

01:09:43Tremendous shape that Charlotte Flair's in.

01:09:46I'm thinking Charlotte's back.

01:09:48Biggest star in the game now.

01:09:50Looking to make up for some lost time.

01:09:52But Piper Niven does not care about star level.

01:09:55You guys are right.

01:09:56The energy change in this match when Charlotte Flair walked down that aisle.

01:09:59Changing the building.

01:10:00Oh, look at Zelina trying to hang on.

01:10:03Charlotte.

01:10:05Piper's eliminated.

01:10:11Well, it has been a disastrous night for Piper Niven, who now needs to go and apologize for Chelsea Green.

01:10:19Entry 28.

01:10:38The international superstar, the current NXT Women's Champion, Julia is here.

01:10:49She beat Roxanne Perez at New Year's Evil to win the title.

01:10:53She faces Bayley and Roxanne in a triple threat in a couple of weeks at NXT Vengeance Day.

01:10:59And Juliet is rumble for the first time in her career.

01:11:02The history of the NXT Women's Champion is a very, very good one.

01:11:08A beautiful madness just entered the Royal Rumble.

01:11:13And here's Sky wants a place in the action.

01:11:15Living Raquel trying to eliminate Charlotte Flair.

01:11:19Eoskai in Julia.

01:11:24Scrapping.

01:11:25One of the greatest Japanese superstars in history.

01:11:28Eoskai missed wildly.

01:11:29Julia sends her to the other side of the ring.

01:11:32And both women down.

01:11:33Counter for counter, a fresh Julia against what must be an exhausted Eoskai,

01:11:39who came in at number one, battled one another to neutrality there.

01:11:4414 women are in, 14 have been eliminated.

01:11:48Anything you could do, I could do.

01:11:50That was mesmerizing to watch.

01:11:52Two more to enter.

01:11:54Eoskai, almost an hour in this match.

01:11:57Liv Morgan as well.

01:12:00Well over 59 minutes.

01:12:02Remember, Bayley holds the record in an hour and three.

01:12:05You gotta attack those hands, Wade, you gotta attack the fingers.

01:12:08Roxanne Perez, what a performance by Roxanne.

01:12:11Attack whatever you can in the Royal Rumble match.

01:12:14And Julia trying what seems to be a German suplex, which in theory would take herself out in the process.

01:12:20Yeah, but Jordan Grace able to hang on.

01:12:21Headbutt now by Julia.

01:12:22On the apron is Grace.

01:12:23And Julia eliminates Jordan Grace.

01:12:26Knocked out in the process.

01:12:28That was superb from the NXT Women's Champion.

01:12:33And now look who's standing behind her.

01:12:36Two of the great superstars of NXT.

01:12:41The future of the women's division.

01:12:45International stars.

01:12:47Trish Stratus behind them, what a moment.

01:12:51And it looks like McCurr and Julia may work together against two of the original four horse

01:12:56women, Charlotte and Bayley.

01:12:59Bianca Belair stepping in as well.

01:13:01Roxanne looking to get in on that NXT versus WWE here.

01:13:06And here we go with the fights underway as we await entry number 29.

01:13:11Make whatever alliance you can at this point in the matchup.

01:13:15I'm not Russell or Alliance.

01:13:19Selena in trouble.

01:13:21Things have changed now.

01:13:23Oh no.

01:13:24He's what everybody's saying.

01:13:28Selena trying to hang on.

01:13:29Trish trying to eliminate her.

01:13:30Meanwhile, that woman there.

01:13:32The Irresistible Force Nia Jax is tied to Rhea Ripley for the most

01:13:36eliminations in Royal Rumble history for women at 20.

01:13:41One elimination tonight.

01:13:43She takes the lead.

01:13:44A woman who has been on a perennial warpath ever since losing a WWE Women's Championship

01:13:53to Tiffany Stratton.

01:13:55She's got her eyes zeroed in on that WrestleMania sign.

01:13:59And I promise you this.

01:14:01If Nia Jax wins tonight, she is going to make a beeline for Tiffany Stratton.

01:14:07She's going into a ruthless Royal Rumble right now.

01:14:11Trish was just biting Zelina Vega's fingers trying to eliminate her.

01:14:16Nia Jax the only person in history to compete in two Rumble matches on the same night.

01:14:20The women's and the men.

01:14:21And now Nia Jax eliminates Zelina Vega.

01:14:24Zelina is out.

01:14:25Nia Jax will send her into the barricade.

01:14:29And so now Nia Jax has taken over as the record setter.

01:14:3321 only nations, more than any woman in history.

01:14:35And for many people, Nia Jax was the favorite ahead of this matchup.

01:14:39The fact that she drew number 29 just increases that favoritism.

01:14:44I hope you know where you're getting into, Trish.

01:14:47Dream set up for Nia Jax.

01:14:49Dream match for her.

01:14:50Trish doesn't care.

01:14:52Meanwhile, Candice LeRae dumped over the top by Stratus and eliminated.

01:14:58And now Trish going after Nia.

01:15:00Trish taking it to Nia Jax.

01:15:11And now Trish into the corner.

01:15:13Nia though, the powerhouse.

01:15:20Hitting some stratospheres there on Nia Jax.

01:15:24Wow.

01:15:24The Nia Jax just bouncing back.

01:15:27Oh, it's a tower.

01:15:29No way.

01:15:29Uh-oh, uh-oh.

01:15:34Poison Pixie trying to do some damage.

01:15:36Oh, God.

01:15:37Look at it.

01:15:37It is a smash.

01:15:38The Hall of Famer is out.

01:15:41Now the mess with Nia Jax.

01:15:44You're probably gonna come off second best.

01:15:46Record-breaking elimination for Nia Jax.

01:15:50Most all time.

01:15:52Three, two, one.

01:16:17The WWE Hall of Famer, one of the most courageous women on the planet, Nikki Bella.

01:16:24The WWE Hall of Famer, one of the most courageous women on the planet, Nikki Bella.

01:16:24Nikki Bella is back for the first time in three years.

01:16:29Nikki Bella is here at the number.

01:16:32Bella Army, mount up.

01:16:35We are riding high tonight, baby.

01:16:38What a moment for the WWE.

01:16:42Nikki Bella's back.

01:16:45How sharp is Nikki Bella gonna be?

01:16:48It's been a long time since she's been in competition.

01:16:51And Nikki and Nia squaring off.

01:16:55Look at this.

01:16:55The WWE Hall of Fame.

01:16:59You talk about that Bella Army, Wayne.

01:17:02Of which I am a proud member.

01:17:04Of which an army is now formed to surround Nia Jax.

01:17:09Liv Morgan, Io Sky have set records tonight beating Bayley from last year.

01:17:15But now the story is the Gang Up by Nia Jax.

01:17:18Will they eliminate Jax here tonight?

01:17:20And to be clear, that is the only way you can eliminate Nia Jax, every woman needs the Gang Up.

01:17:27Obviously, it didn't work.

01:17:28And it's simply nine.

01:17:30Let's see what you're watching, but it didn't work.

01:17:32Nine.

01:17:33That's what I'm saying, you have to try.

01:17:35If you can't do it with every woman trying it, then there's no chance, right?

01:17:38Then she's gonna win.

01:17:39Nia Jax just threw nine adults, nine of them, maybe ten.

01:17:45And again, the story that has developed here tonight, ladies and gentlemen,

01:17:48Io Sky, Liv Morgan entered one and two in the Rumble.

01:17:51They have now set the record for the longest time in the Royal Rumble match,

01:17:55beating Bayley's record of last year.

01:17:56And Nikki Bella now showing off a bit, in tremendous shape here.

01:18:04The future of the industry says, uh, checkmate.

01:18:09Yeah, okay, Roxanne, thanks for coming.

01:18:13Nikki Bella now with Roxanne up.

01:18:19Look at a dumper over the top rope.

01:18:21Roxanne hanging on.

01:18:22Nikki Bella is looking better than ever.

01:18:25How do some people just not age?

01:18:26What's the secret?

01:18:28I don't know.

01:18:28I'm aging like milk.

01:18:29They don't drink like you.

01:18:30You and me both.

01:18:31That's true.

01:18:33And look at this now.

01:18:35A curve.

01:18:39Close.

01:18:40Oh no.

01:18:40Number one's almost down.

01:18:42Io, both feet up to touch the floor before she's eliminated.

01:18:45Io trying to hang on.

01:18:46Well, this is a mistake by Roxanne Perez who was attacking Stephanie McCurran just.

01:18:51Uh-oh.

01:18:52The first guy was almost down.

01:18:53Those big touches over for McCurran.

01:18:55Eddie Orango's got his eyes on the soles of the feet.

01:18:59Well, both feet have to touch.

01:19:01Dangerously close right now for the Chilean superstar.

01:19:04Raquel Rodriguez now trying to eliminate McCurran now from behind.

01:19:09Bianca, Naomi, Raquel down to the apron.

01:19:13Four women on the apron, five women on the apron now.

01:19:19Now Raquel dangerously close to dropping out.

01:19:22Nia Jax, Nia Jax, just eliminated.

01:19:28What, six people?

01:19:30Just a wrecking ball.

01:19:32Nia Jax.

01:19:37Meanwhile, Morgan and Roxanne still in this thing.

01:19:41Nia Jax will eliminate Liv Morgan.

01:19:44Liv set a record tonight, but.

01:19:47She's still got a third.

01:19:49Yeah, Liv Morgan has set the record because Io was eliminated before her.

01:19:52And now Nia right to Nikki.

01:19:54Trying to do some arithmetic.

01:19:55I think we're down to six at this point.

01:20:00All you have to do, Wade, is check out our fancy scoreboard at the bottom of the screen.

01:20:05Keeps us all up to date throughout the Rumble.

01:20:07Six women today.

01:20:08It is fancy.

01:20:10Looks good.

01:20:11Great information down here.

01:20:13Nikki with a spear.

01:20:17We are down to six.

01:20:19One of these women are gonna go to WrestleMania.

01:20:22What a story it would be if Nikki Bella pulls this off and heads to the main event of the

01:20:27showcase

01:20:28of the Immortals.

01:20:29Five more eliminations and you are there, Nikki.

01:20:32Nia Jax now with 27 in her career.

01:20:36Thanks to the seven tonight.

01:20:40And now Julia, Roxanne Perez, two rivals from NXT.

01:20:44They meet a couple of weeks.

01:20:46Lost their balance.

01:20:47Obviously, everybody's fighting exhaustion at the same time fighting each other.

01:20:50Oh, and Charlotte Flair got hooked up at the top.

01:20:53This is the big fish.

01:20:55This is the woman you've got to get out.

01:20:57Can they eliminate Charlotte?

01:20:59Charlotte up to the apron.

01:21:02Roxanne still in it.

01:21:05Julia's in it.

01:21:06So Charlotte.

01:21:07Man, what a story it would be if an NXT superstar goes on, wins this,

01:21:12a main event for WrestleMania.

01:21:14Well, it's not gonna be Julia.

01:21:16High stakes.

01:21:17Julia's out, thanks to Roxanne Perez.

01:21:20And how good has Roxanne Perez been tonight?

01:21:22Do you notice Charlotte favoring her knee?

01:21:26Pretty much every woman in the match has to be favoring something.

01:21:30Who can battle through now?

01:21:32And it's Roxanne Perez who's reaching the ascendancy in this matchup.

01:21:36Almost taking out Bayley.

01:21:38Well, the player did come in here with a knee brace on.

01:21:40Yep.

01:21:40Out of action for over a year.

01:21:42Nia Jax now runs into the right hand by Bayley.

01:21:44You never know how it's gonna go.

01:21:46Go!

01:21:47Yeah, now Bayley's eliminated.

01:21:51That was a big move.

01:21:52And Nikki's eliminated.

01:21:54We're down to three.

01:21:56Charlotte, Nia, and Roxanne.

01:22:03Nia is the greatest at this of all time.

01:22:10Roxanne now right to the bad knee of Charlotte.

01:22:12Great strategy way by the prodigy.

01:22:15I completely disagree.

01:22:16Roxanne should have stayed out of Dodge for as long as she could.

01:22:20Let Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax take each other out.

01:22:23Yeah, why not attack the bad knee?

01:22:25The knee that's in the knee brace is Charlotte.

01:22:27And Charlotte tweaked earlier out of the matchup.

01:22:29I can't wait.

01:22:30You're gonna attack Nia.

01:22:32She is easily the favorite.

01:22:33There's no way.

01:22:35The size of Roxanne Perez, there's no way she can throw out Nia Jax.

01:22:41But the opposite is absolutely true.

01:22:44Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair now.

01:22:45Charlotte Flair dumps Nia out.

01:22:47It's down to Charlotte and Roxanne.

01:22:49It's down to Charlotte and Roxanne.

01:22:52Nia.

01:22:53Roxanne looking to eliminate Charlotte Flair.

01:22:56Charlotte Flair, though, may be in control.

01:22:58Roxanne out to the apron.

01:23:00One of these women are going to WrestleMania.

01:23:02Charlotte with a kick.

01:23:04Charlotte Flair is going to WrestleMania.

01:23:07Here is your 2025 Women's Royal Rumble winner, Charlotte Flair.

01:23:23Charlotte Flair becomes a two-time winner of the Women's Royal Rumble match.

01:23:32She now gets to pick the champion of her choosing to face at the granddaddy,

01:23:39the spectacle in Las Vegas, WrestleMania.

01:23:46What a win.

01:23:47What a return.

01:23:49What another massive moment for our queen, Charlotte Flair.

01:23:55Wave, there was a point in time after the knee injury that we never thought

01:23:59Charlotte Flair would be back in a WWE ring.

01:24:02She battled back.

01:24:03And tonight's Savage Replay is presented by Slim Jim Meat Sticks.

01:24:07Need a little excitement?

01:24:08Step in to a Slim Jim.

01:24:10Nia Jax, easily the favorite in this match.

01:24:13Thought she had it.

01:24:14Charlotte Flair.

01:24:15Big Brain dumps her up.

01:24:17Well, what a performance from Roxanne Perez,

01:24:20who would have shocked the world.

01:24:22But to come runner-up in this matchup, she should be proud of that.

01:24:26But so close to getting into that main event of WrestleMania.

01:24:30Some things are just forever.

01:24:33Diamonds, and of course, Charlotte Flair.
