00:00Mommy is gold in hand. The new WWE Women's Champion is Rhea Ripley.
00:05After his signature performance at Wrestlemania, she will join us live.
00:42Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.
00:55That just feels right, doesn't it? To say that and to see this.
01:00And Wade, you and Michael Cole were on the call the other day, and it was such an incredible display
01:06of ability and power and resolve that Mania of Rhea Ripley when she countered the Jaded into that Riptide opportunity
01:15and made history.
01:16Yeah, such a tough task facing Ripley going into Wrestlemania, of course, added to by the fact that Meachin and
01:25B-Fab tried their best to ruin the attempt by Rhea Ripley.
01:30But the face of women's wrestling in 2026 is undoubtedly this woman, and she now holds the biggest prize of
01:41them all, the WWE Women's Championship.
01:44And just listen to this reception, celebration, for the first time after Mania, with that WWE Women's Championship in hand.
02:04And enjoy the celebrations while they last.
02:08One thing's for sure, there's an entire locker room of women who cannot wait to get their hands on Rhea
02:16Ripley.
02:25The Mami Chance.
02:27Now Mami's got gold again.
02:30Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea! Rhea!
02:37Rhea! Rhea! Rhea!
02:39Rhea! Rhea! Rhea!
02:44Your Mami is...
02:46is finally champion again.
03:12At WrestleMania, on the grandest stage of them all,
03:19I love you, I love you.
03:23Jade, she actually proved to me that she could go.
03:31But now it's my time to prove that the WWE Women's Champion
03:37is a fighting champion.
03:45I know that there's plenty of women out the back
03:48that want to take their chance,
03:50and I'm down for any sort of challenge.
03:53So if someone wants to step to mommy,
03:56now's your shot.
04:04Well, we know what we saw earlier.
04:10They've already caused enough trouble tonight.
04:13Why not a little more?
04:15Welcome the ladies of Fatal Influence.
04:19Rhea, Rhea, Rhea.
04:22Look, we get it.
04:26You're a star.
04:28Hey, shut up, let's let me talk.
04:30I waited long enough to get here.
04:32Respect me.
04:38As I was saying, we get it.
04:41You're the star.
04:43You're the champion.
04:48I know you're all excited to see me.
04:50I get it.
04:51I get it.
04:53You know what, Rhea?
04:54Listen, I'll be the first one.
05:04This is cute.
05:05This is cute.
05:06But you know what?
05:08This is my time.
05:09So shut up and listen.
05:17I'll be the first one to give you credit
05:20that you had a big win at WrestleMania.
05:23Congratulations.
05:29Are you done yet?
05:32Are you done?
05:33Because I have all night.
05:35I'll wait all night, baby.
05:43I think all these people want to know
05:47who they should give credit to.
05:54I love it, you idiots.
05:56Keep it coming.
05:57I love it.
06:10I love it.
06:12I love it, you idiots.
06:15We love it.
06:19They love it.
06:20They love it.
06:21We love it.
06:23We love it.
06:23We love it.
06:23All right.
06:24Enough.
06:25Fun time's over.
06:26Play time's over.
06:27You know what?
06:28I think you all should give Fatal Influence, J.C. Jane, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reed, credits for taking out all
06:40your precious little legends tonight.
06:48You know, I did actually see what you guys did, and J.C., I have to say, taking out that
06:58many legends, it's quite impressive.
07:08But, let me give you a little lesson. Stop while you're ahead.
07:19Thanks, but no thanks.
07:23Because what we did to them is nothing compared to what we're about to do to you.
07:32Oh, and you can put the blame for that.
07:36All of you can put the blame for that on us, too.
07:41Lainey Reed, Fallon Henley, J.C. Jane, Fatal Influence, baby.
07:54Wow. I mean, I thought that Jade was cocky.
08:02Look, lately I've been pretty used to the numbers game being against me, and if you guys actually opened up
08:09your eyes, you'd realize that that really doesn't matter.
08:16So, if you guys want to fight, then I'm ready for a fight.
08:25Take your shot.
08:28Rhea.
08:32One thing you're going to learn about Fatal Influence is we're always ready to throw hands.
08:44I like the sound of that. Fatal Influence.
08:48Welcome to SmackDown.
08:49You know, I was trying to think of a suitable punishment for what you did earlier tonight, and then I
08:55realized she's standing right there.
09:00So, J.C., you're going to step up and show me what you got, because J.C. Jane, you're going
09:05one-on-one with Rhea Bloody Ripley right here, right now.
09:10Wow. Nick Aldis, the general manager, putting it forth.
09:16New Blood boldly stepping to Rhea Bloody Ripley, and we're getting it with an ordered match immediately here on SmackDown.
09:27Well, if J.C. Jane wants to understand what it's like at the very top on SmackDown, she's about to
09:36find out.
09:36In there with Rhea Ripley, the newly minted WWE Women's Champion.
09:42Well, go big or go home, J.C. Jane.
09:46Look, you're supposed to be nervous when you turn up at SmackDown and make your debut, but from everything we've
09:52seen out of J.C. Jane and Fatal Influence over the past couple of hours, nerves do not affect them
09:59whatsoever.
10:01Even this lack of Southern hospitality from this Texan crowd.
10:05Yes. Henley and Reed looking on.
10:08Of course, earlier tonight, we saw Fatal Influence disrupt the great tag team match between Paige and Brie, the new
10:16champions, and Charlotte and Alexa.
10:19So those legends of the game taken down by the sneak attack with these rookies of SmackDown.
10:27Well, steady on on the rookie talk, okay, especially when it comes to J.C. Jane, who has simply been
10:33dominating in NXT.
10:35She has been. I agree with that.
10:36Five or so years, including tag championship reigns, and most notably of all two reigns as the NXT Women's Champion.
10:45This is a woman who has been ready for a long time, but now there is no stiffer test whatsoever
10:52than that of Rhea Bloody Ripley.
10:54Let's find out just how ready J.C. Jane really is.
10:58Well, J.C. Jane had that great run as NXT Women's Champion right through to a spectacular stand-in deliver.
11:06To be clear about the caliber of J.C. Jane, she dethroned Stephanie Kerr as the NXT Women's Champion.
11:15And that is the kind of woman that J.C. Jane is capable of beating.
11:22Well, is she capable of beating Mammy when Mammy is in this kind of mood?
11:27She's on the ground!
11:28Give her back!
11:29There's no time out!
11:30See on the outside, Fallon Hanley has also held tag gold in NXT, and the relatively new Lainey Reed, least
11:39experienced of the trio, but learning rapidly, attached herself to Fatal Influence, and her career is on the up-and
11:47-up.
11:48No doubt we'll be seeing more of those two over the coming weeks.
11:51You know, coming out of the gather-yourself huddle with Fatal Influence, J.C. Jane back to business against Rhea
11:59Ripley.
12:01Ripley is looking for that big kick, instead she eats a right hand.
12:05And I'm really impressed by the aggression of J.C. Jane in this one, not scared of the massive aura
12:10of Rhea Ripley, not paying attention to the reputation, simply taking it TO RIPLEY!
12:17Oh, that's a good example of what you were describing, Rhea.
12:19And so far winning!
12:22Uh-oh.
12:24Oh, Rhea.
12:25She was waiting on it, just sitting on it.
12:28But a nicer reversal once again from J.C. Jane!
12:31Good counter, and then into the corner.
12:35Oh, a massive right hand from Ripley, sends her down to the floor.
12:39Completely dropping J.C. Jane there, and Jane's on!
12:43Sidestepped by Jane, this is really impressive!
12:46But how about this electric chair from Rhea, and into the edge of the apron.
12:53Face first, might have loosened a couple of teeth there for J.C. Jane.
12:57Fatal Influence, Luckon, helpless.
13:01Right before the referee, you know full well they'd love to be tearing.
13:04Rhea Ripley apart if they cut off!
13:08Now to really ask yourself, what do you want to get involved with?
13:13Meanwhile, J.C. Jane running right along the apron, and Rhea's down on the floor.
13:40Well, back here in Fort Worth, a massive crowd for the SmackDown after WrestleMania.
13:46One of the big surprises tonight, the arrival of J.C. Jane and Fatal Influence.
13:52Stepping right to Rhea Ripley after they disrupted things earlier tonight in our tag team action.
13:58Laying out Paige and Brie Belva, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss.
14:02And now, Nick Aldis ordering this challenge, J.C. Jane against Rhea Ripley.
14:07A little rodeo down here in Texas. They usually like that, not tonight however.
14:13No, they haven't liked anything from this one.
14:15I'm liking what I'm seeing from J.C. Jane, who shows she has the polish to go right the way
14:21to the top here on SmackDown.
14:24What a name to make for herself by putting away the newly minted
14:29WWE women's champ, Rhea bloody Ripley.
14:39And the cannonball right into the corner, flush on the face of Rhea Ripley as she hooks the leg, looking
14:46for the victory.
14:47You're a boxing guy, right, Joe? Tell me, if this was a boxing match, how would you score this round?
14:54Well, listen, there's no doubt about it.
14:5510-8 to J.C. Jane, maybe 10-7 if this was an individual round, complete control of things.
15:05By the way, I did notice you popping for Conor Ben ringside at WrestleMania, speaking of the son of your
15:12favorite British fighter of all time.
15:14Oh, man, such an opposition for Zufa. Can't wait to see more of that, but right now we are seeing
15:18more of Rhea, who bloody Ripley.
15:21Look at this series of right hands. Just slugging away on J.C. Jane, finally a burst of life from
15:26the champ, but too short-lived.
15:30J.C. Jane just riding that one out and replying, oh, right on the nose.
15:37Hooking the leg here. Kick out by Rhea.
15:40Well, I'll tell you right now, there is an element of Rhea Ripley probably struggling after such a massive match
15:47just a few short nights ago at WrestleMania.
15:50Clearly hasn't fully recovered, but you can't blame J.C. Jane for taking advantage of that.
15:59Just driving down those elbows.
16:07The old smile on the face of the newcomer J.C. Jane is finding it just a little too easy
16:14so far.
16:15Bothering the crowd with every moment of that smile, too.
16:17You don't have to like her to know she is damn good.
16:39Well, this is Dickey's Arena. Very loud night for Friday Night Smackdown here in Fort Worth.
16:45You are watching J.C. Jane, the leader of Fatal Influence against Rhea Ripley as she hooks the leg.
16:52Earlier tonight, Fatal Influence as you see Reed and Henley ringside.
16:56They disrupted things, beating down Paige and Brie Bell on Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
17:00And our general manager, Nick Aldis said, what's a suitable punishment?
17:04How about J.C.? You have to face Rhea Ripley.
17:07Well, J.C. has answered that challenge maybe up until now as she's dealing with the power of Rhea Ripley.
17:14Had been getting punished and that was Ripley, but that's how quickly someone the caliber of Rhea
17:19bloody Ripley can turn things around.
17:24J.C. Jane, welcome to the big time.
17:26There's levels to this and right now you are meeting the highest level of them all.
17:31As we saw at Wrestlemania, as Rhea Ripley, look at the intensity.
17:38Days removed from conquering Jade Cargill.
17:41Suddenly tapping into eradicator mode as Fatal Influence on the outside.
17:46Looking for Rhea's edge.
17:47Well, that was smart from J.C. Jane, knowing exactly where she was in the ring.
17:51Able to get to the ropes, able to wiggle out the back, running hard into the corner.
17:57This time, Rhea able to get out of the way.
17:59Yeah, running on fumes at this point.
18:02Both women hurt and both women are tired.
18:04You'll find a lot about J.C. Jane.
18:06Oh, wow.
18:07Nice, J.C.
18:08Could we have an upset here?
18:10Tightly stacked pin too, but Rhea Ripley can dig deeper than most.
18:14But how impressive has J.C. Jane been in just one moment, that pumped knee off the ropes,
18:23connecting flush and against most of the locker room.
18:26That's a big win for J.C. Jane, but that big win might be imminent all the same.
18:32Oh, she was looking for that discus elbow, but instead it's a massive, I mean massive boot from Rhea Ripley.
18:41Attempt of that roaring encore that has made her such a fierce opponent in NXT,
18:47but Mammy was simply ready for it.
18:50Oh, wasn't ready for that though, Joe.
18:53No, she wasn't and knocked off the top rope and now J.C. Jane right back to business.
18:59She has been impressive so far.
19:02Well, she's blown minds here and she's blowing minds of management right now,
19:06because this was supposed to be a punishment.
19:10Far from it, J.C. Jane is swimming at the highest level here.
19:15What a great turnaround by Rhea Ripley.
19:17We'll get ahead of ourselves.
19:18Oh, hitting that target in that five hole flush.
19:21And now Rhea, right where she had her earlier.
19:26The last place you want to be.
19:28Oh, amazing counter.
19:32The kick out of the victory roll.
19:35Back and forth they go.
19:37Ripley.
19:39Can she hit it this time?
19:41Oh, attempt to raise his edge maybe.
19:43Yes!
19:43Yo!
19:44Throws her halfway across the ring with such impact.
19:49Brings her away from the ropes to cover.
19:54So close for the eradicator to claim a win against what has been a fearsome opponent in J.C. Jane,
20:03but J.C. Jane came here for the spotlight.
20:06J.C. Jane wants that win in a big way.
20:11The two-time NXT Women's Champion.
20:14Protected a prison.
20:15Yeah, but J.C. Jane able to escape it.
20:18Headbutt.
20:19For J.C. Jane.
20:21Riptide position engaged.
20:23Oh, here we go.
20:23Oh, fatal influence into the mix.
20:26Of course they are, Barry.
20:28How do you respect that?
20:30Well, the writing may have been on the wall for J.C. Jane,
20:33but the writing is now getting etched all over the body of the champ, Rhea Ripley.
20:43And just another three-on-one mugging now as Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed.
20:51And there it is.
20:54Hold the victim in place for that rolling encore of J.C. Jane.
21:01Win, lose, or draw.
21:03These women just made a major name for themselves here on SmackDown.
21:12And the results are evidence.
21:17Let's get you up to speed on a massive story.
21:20Jacob Fatu wants more and he's boldly stated it.
21:24I want to just...
21:31Do we have a problem?
21:33Seriously?
21:36Yeah, we have a problem.
21:37Fatal influence.
21:38I just...
21:39I don't get it.
21:40Why don't we all just go take care of him?
21:42Actually, Lexi, I'm gonna get my hands on J.C. Jane next week.
21:45Unlike some people.
21:51It's not you.
21:52She's just...
21:53like that.
21:54I know...
21:54I'm not the first.
21:54I know, you did.
21:55Do not change what happened on the other side of you.
21:57I know.
22:00So I'm going to pick that clue on you.
22:01What happened next morning.
22:01I're going to keep going home.
