00:17This is my brutality!
00:32On ECB, the demons inconvenience, on ECB!
00:43The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one call!
00:47Introducing first, the team of EOSKY
00:51and the new WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley!
01:01Rhea and EOSKY together again.
01:05Up next, the match presented by Credit One Bank.
01:09They take on the Kabuki Warriors live.
01:25So again, we saw moments ago, Corey, Asuka, again, trying to drive a wedge
01:31between the friends of Rhea Ripley and EOSKY.
01:35Asuka has an opportunity tonight in Las Vegas to do just that.
01:40Physically speaking with Kairi Sane by her side.
01:43But I'll tell you, it's going to be a tall task
01:45because Mami is riding high after last night.
01:49Yeah, let's take you back to WrestleMania Sunday.
01:51Rhea Ripley, Jade Cargill battling it out for the WWE Women's Championship.
02:03The closing moments.
02:05Rhea Ripley able to escape a jaded attempt
02:08and plant the now former champion in the center of the ring
02:12with the riptide and new.
02:18Obviously, EO there to celebrate with her very good friend.
02:22And it was EO who was able to neutralize knee, chin, and b-fab,
02:26which opened the door for Rhea to topple Jade Cargill.
02:31Rhea and EOSKY, former tag team champions.
02:36They went back in January taking the titles from their opponents tonight,
02:41the Kabuki Warriors.
02:42And Kairi made mention from the Kabuki Warriors that last week
02:45she did indeed knock off EOSKY.
02:48The distraction outside the ring with Rhea and Asuka getting into it.
02:51And that's to Asuka's point.
02:52She believes in her mind that this relationship is hurting EO, not helping her.
02:57Well, Asuka's free to believe what she does.
03:00And in the Japanese culture, you never disrespect your senpai.
03:04What EOSKY has done is basically blasphemous in the Japanese culture.
03:13And Asuka understandably is skeptical of EOSKY
03:17because it appears at times that EO is tempting Kairi Sane to follow suit.
03:36Just an electric atmosphere when Rhea Ripley and EOSKY enter the arena.
03:51And there goes the king of Asuka and Kairi Sane, the Kabuki Warriors!
04:30Yeah, Rhea Ripley with the big win for the WWE Championship last night at WrestleMania Sunday.
04:36You have to imagine she's going into this tag team match tonight at less than 100%.
04:40No doubt about it. Rhea Ripley was in a hell of a fight on WrestleMania Sunday against Jade Cargill.
04:47Many people believe it was one of the best performances of Jade Cargill's career.
04:51She really took Rhea Ripley to the limit.
04:54Really came extremely close to leaving Las Vegas with the gold.
04:58Asuka and Kyrie Sane, former tag champs, had the gold taken from them by Rhea and Io back in January.
05:04Asuka continuing to drive a wedge between Io and Rhea and their friendship.
05:10Now this all goes back to their time in Japan, the senpai kohai system, where Asuka is the senpai, that's
05:16the senior.
05:17Her kohais were both Io Sky and Kyrie Sane, but Asuka claimed she treated Io as an equal.
05:24That backfired on her and hence the reason she's been treating Kyrie the way she does, well, according to Asuka.
05:31I have no reason to disbelieve the Empress of Tomorrow.
05:34Asuka arrived in WWE and changed the game.
05:37It could be said that Asuka opened the door for Kyrie Sane, for Io Sky.
05:44And starting things off tonight, Io and Kyrie, and Io, of course, has been attempting to take Kyrie away from
05:52the dark side, so to speak.
05:54To pull her away from Asuka, to get her out of what's been this abusive relationship.
05:58Io has been encouraging Kyrie Sane to betray Asuka the same way she did.
06:03But I don't think Io Sky betrayed her.
06:05I think she just had enough of the way that Asuka was treating her.
06:08She's disrespectful to the culture.
06:11Disrespectful to Asuka, everything Asuka has accomplished in her career.
06:14One of the most dominant female wrestlers to ever compete in the industry.
06:19You know, Asuka says Io Sky chose her fake family over her real family.
06:24And she said that Rhea is only going to hurt Io's career.
06:28It's a little bit of an example of that.
06:30And what happened last week when Kyrie Sane knocked off Io Sky because Rhea had come out.
06:34The distraction with Rhea and Asuka caused Io to match.
06:38You can't blame that solely on the relationship between Io Sky and Ripley.
06:42No, but that's what Asuka is using as an example.
06:47Had your case however you think.
06:50Kyrie delivers a shoulder to the midsection.
06:55And Kyrie going to launch herself.
06:56Io able to duck underneath.
06:59And Kyrie says, that's what I think of you.
07:04Disrespect rampant tonight in this one.
07:10Feel bad for Io.
07:11She's just trying to help Kyrie Sane out.
07:13You don't have to feel bad for Io.
07:16This is Io's business.
07:18Io has a career.
07:19Here she reached great heights of her own volition.
07:22And now she's trying to brainwash Kyrie into attempting to do the same thing.
07:26To leave Asuka high and dry.
07:28And look at Kyrie going over to Asuka.
07:30Begging for her approval.
07:32See?
07:32See what I did?
07:33Asuka applauding her.
07:35Roll up now by Io on a kick out.
07:38That's not begging for approval.
07:39That's pride.
07:40That's showing the person who taught you and opened all the doors for you.
07:44That you're following in her footsteps.
07:46Or at least trying.
07:47That's your view I guess.
07:48You ever have a pet cat bring you a gift in the morning?
07:51Yeah, it may be a dead mouth.
07:52But their heart's in the right place.
07:55That is a unique example.
07:57Oh, you and I have both been up for like four straight days.
08:00Oh!
08:01Knee right to the spine.
08:02And Io Sky now looking to rally.
08:07Tag made.
08:08Here comes the new WWE Women's Champion.
08:12Ripley using Sky as a weapon.
08:14Cover now.
08:15By Rhea.
08:16And a kick out.
08:18Rhea won her fourth world championship last night at WrestleMania.
08:23Of course, we mentioned Rhea and Io.
08:25Former tag team champions.
08:27Congratulations to the new tag team champions.
08:30Rie Bella and the returning Paige.
08:33What an incredible surprise at WrestleMania.
08:38And the efforts of tomorrow.
08:40And the efforts of tomorrow.
08:41Asuka.
08:43History between these two.
08:46Oh.
08:47Open hand strikes.
08:48Rocking the jaw.
08:49Rhea Ripley.
08:51Asuka a four-time world champion in her own right.
08:54What a backhand.
08:56What a backhand.
09:02Oh!
09:03Running knee by Asuka.
09:04Ripley in trouble.
09:05Oh!
09:06A capillera kick out of nowhere.
09:08And a cover by Rhea for the win.
09:11Asuka kicks it too.
09:18Now Ripley.
09:19Oh, look at Asuka.
09:21Kicking away at Io Sky.
09:24Just a stain from Asuka when it comes to Io.
09:28Rhea with a kick to the face.
09:30Into the official.
09:31Eddie Arango.
09:31Kyrie.
09:32Kyrie tried to get involved.
09:34Rhea caught her.
09:35And Asuka takes advantage of the distraction.
09:37Driving Rhea out of the ring.
09:39Rhea!
09:40Tag made Kyrie Sane now legal for the Kabuki Warriors.
09:44Kyrie making the climb to the top.
09:46Rhea is in trouble.
09:50Kyrie from the hole!
09:52My God!
09:53Sane elbow taking out Ripley!
09:56Oh!
09:58Oh!
09:59Oh!
10:07Kyrie Sane just took a massive risk that paid massive dividends.
10:13Ripley being crushed with a thud on the outside of the ring.
10:17I don't think so.
10:18You know, the Kabuki Warriors are three-time tag team champions.
10:21And they showed you why moments ago.
10:24Asuka with the distraction with the official.
10:26And it allowed Kyrie to get the upper hand.
10:33Kyrie quickly into the cover.
10:35Hook of the leg.
10:36Is it enough?
10:36And Ripley kicks out at two.
10:38Thinking what the repercussions could be if Kyrie Sane or Asuka, for that matter,
10:43were able to pin Rhea Ripley tonight.
10:45The brand new WWE Women's Champion.
10:48We'll talk about getting into the hunt quickly.
10:52Tag to Asuka.
10:53And now the Kabuki Warriors working well as a team.
11:00See what happens when you listen to your senpai, when you don't stick a dagger in their back.
11:09Asuka is torturing Ripley here.
11:20Be careful, Asuka.
11:22Yeah, trash-talking Ripley.
11:24And yet, we mentioned before, Rhea went through a war 24 hours ago.
11:31This goes to show you how much Rhea values the friendship with Io Skye.
11:34Willing to put herself back in harm's way like this.
11:38Just to stand by and defend her friend.
11:41Oh, what a kick to the spine.
11:45And Asuka's enjoying this and now mocking her former friend Io.
11:55Back made.
11:57Kyrie Sane now legal.
12:00Ripley sent it to a boot in the corner.
12:04And now Kyrie hanging Rhea up.
12:06She's got a five count.
12:08Referee Heddy Orango.
12:10Taking a page out of the great Kendo Koshin book.
12:14A lot of damage in five seconds of Lottie.
12:20I think Rhea might have lost a tooth.
12:23Tag made.
12:24Asuka now legal for the Kabuki Warriors.
12:28To your point, Cole, Rhea Ripley in no way, shape, or form can be 100% tonight.
12:33And the Kabuki Warriors are exploiting that fact very effectively.
12:40And now Rhea trying to fight back.
12:46Again, center to the corner.
12:47Kabuki Warriors doing a tremendous job of isolating Rhea here.
13:04The Kabuki Warriors now in complete control of the brand new WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.
13:10Yeah, in front of over 13,000 tonight in Las Vegas.
13:13The Raw after WrestleMania.
13:15Cover and a kick out by Rhea.
13:18And again, we mentioned before, Rhea went through a war last night with Jade Cargill at WrestleMania.
13:23And the Kabuki Warriors are taking advantage.
13:28Another double team incoming.
13:30This could finish Rhea Ripley once and for all.
13:33Oh!
13:35Rhea trying to fight back.
13:36Kyrie Sane up over the top.
13:37Rhea was able to duck underneath.
13:39Rhea caught over the...
13:40That kick to the back of the neck.
13:42And now Rhea's got an opportunity.
13:47Extremely eager.
13:48EO Sky wanting to make the tag to Rhea to handle business for their team.
13:55And Vegas wants to see EO just as much.
13:58Oh!
13:58And a tag to Sky.
14:00And here comes EO.
14:05EO Sky bouncing her senpai around the ring like a pinball.
14:11Oh!
14:11Kick right to the face of Asuka.
14:13Here comes Kyrie.
14:16Uh-oh!
14:17Great counter by EO.
14:19That's not going to go over well.
14:20Two!
14:24Kabuki Warriors able to split out of the way.
14:26Double drop kick by Sky.
14:35And now Rhea's feeling it.
14:40Asuka and Kyrie in opposing corners.
14:43That bullet train attack to both members of the Kabuki Warriors.
14:47Goes to Coast and back again.
14:54The genius of the Sky is on a roll.
14:57Big kick rocks Asuka.
14:59Cover by EO.
15:01Is it enough?
15:01Oh no!
15:03Asuka just got the shoulder up.
15:09And EO Sky.
15:11EO wanted to make a tag.
15:12But Rhea Ripley was still recovering on the floor.
15:15And now here comes Ripley.
15:17WWE Women's Champion.
15:20The power of Rhea.
15:22Bloody Ripley hoisting up Asuka.
15:24Oh!
15:25And now EO top rope Sky.
15:28Missile drop kick.
15:30Cover by Rhea.
15:32Stats her up.
15:33Kick out.
15:34And Kyrie Sane trying to save it as well.
15:36But a kick out by Asuka.
15:38Take another look at this missile drop kick right to the chest of Asuka.
15:43Ripley scrambled for the cover.
15:45Stacked the shoulders.
15:46But it wasn't enough to finish the job.
15:50Great crowd tonight of 13.
15:53Up 6-91.
15:53Looking for a riptide.
15:55Asuka cheap shot to EO.
15:57Plashed her off the apron.
15:59Line tag from Kyrie Sane.
16:02Codebreaker by Asuka.
16:03Now Kyrie!
16:05Double team from the Kabuki Warriors.
16:08Cover!
16:091, 2, 1, 2, 1.
16:11And EO Sky saves the matchup.
16:15You have to imagine how much a win tonight.
16:17A pinfall particularly for Kyrie Sane would mean to her relationship with Asuka.
16:21Kyrie would almost definitely be back in the good graces of the Empress.
16:24Oh!
16:25Especially coming off the win over EO in one-on-one action last week.
16:32Heavy shots to the back from Kyrie Sane.
16:36Now Kyrie out and off the EO.
16:39Talking trash.
16:40Oh!
16:41Oh God!
16:42Take it out!
16:43That is not going to go...
16:44Oh my goodness.
16:46Kyrie Sane.
16:46Trying to apologize after Asuka was wiped out.
16:49Headbutt by Rhea.
16:52Tag to EO.
16:54EO now from the very top rope.
16:58Riptide!
16:58Here we go!
17:01The exclamation point!
17:03Over the moonsaults!
17:051, 2, 3, 1!
17:10Here are your winners!
17:12The WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley!
17:16And EO Sky!
17:19What a battle to kick off Monday Night Raw.
17:24The Raw after WrestleMania.
17:27It was not easy.
17:29But Ripley and Sky able to get the job done.
17:33First the Riptide and then the Genius.
17:36From the top, the over-the-moonsault.
17:39Absolute perfection.
17:41And a big win for EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
17:44The WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley, Rhea Ripley, Rhea Ripley, Rhea Ripley, Rhea Ripley, Rhea Ripley.
