00:00So we're going to do a title match because it is official, so give me a referee out here because
00:04what the hell, we're going to do it right now.
00:07All right, general manager Pierce and Becky Lynch wasting little time attacking Io from behind before our official Victoria D
00:18'Arako can come out here.
00:19This matchup's going to happen though.
00:29Becky Lynch will not let up attacking Io Sky who came down here and
00:34accepted Becky's open challenge.
00:36Becky said it.
00:37Am I the only one that understood truly what Becky said in the ring?
00:41She said she wanted shiny, she wanted new, she wanted exciting.
00:45She didn't ask for the genius of the sky.
00:50No disrespect to Io, I mean Io is a phenomenal talent, but let's be honest.
00:55This is the Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch we're talking about.
00:58Lynch came out here to give Laredo a memory, a moment.
01:02And Becky Lynch, much to the chagrin of this sold out crowd here in Laredo.
01:10Not allowing Io Sky to even get back in the ring.
01:13This match hasn't even officially started.
01:16So there's still time for Io to cut her losses and leave.
01:20No blemish on the record.
01:21Well, maybe not because Io Sky fighting back now.
01:26No, not here, not here, not here.
01:28Becky bounced right off our announce table.
01:36And Io wants the Intercontinental Championship, but
01:38she's got to get the champ back in the ring.
01:40You're right about that.
01:41Io also needs to keep her foot on the gas pedal in this impromptu Intercontinental Championship.
01:46And finally it's underway, Io Sky, Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title cover by Io and a kick out by
01:53Becky.
01:55Becky Lynch did not expect this tonight, although I'm not quite sure who she was expecting to take the open
02:00challenge.
02:01Well, Becky herself said Rhea Ripley, perhaps she was thinking of Jade Cargill.
02:05Becky knows they are all on Friday Night SmackDown and they're not here tonight.
02:09Are you implying that Becky didn't really show up in Laredo looking for a fight?
02:13100%.
02:14No wonder her daughter boos you.
02:16Out here tooting her own horn and now she's got to defend her Intercontinental Championship.
02:20And of course she has the upper hand after beating down Io before the match even started.
02:25You mean after Becky turned the tides after she was unceremoniously attacked by Io Sky without warning.
02:32And she ran away.
02:33Of course she did, Becky had every right to leave.
02:37Once again, go cover here by the man.
02:39Once again, Adam Pearce is drunk with power and is out here trying to ruin another historic title reign for
02:46Becky Lynch.
02:46I don't think he's drunk with power, I just think he gives the WWE fans what they want.
02:50Now Io Sky from behind, gonna scoop up Becky, shoulders down and a kick out at two.
02:55Don't you follow Pierce on social media?
02:57Everything is I need a drink, I need a drink, cover here.
03:00I do follow him because I support him.
03:03Well listen, I support his right to do whatever he so pleases, but
03:07when it affects his decision making ability as it clearly has here tonight.
03:11Maybe, maybe someone should have a chat with the man.
03:13He should stop spreading rumors.
03:24And we're in the midst of this impromptu Intercontinental Championship match.
03:28Io Sky challenging the new champion, Becky Lynch.
03:32And Io Sky, well she's got some momentum, remember?
03:37And Rhea Ripley's farewell last week to Monday Night Raw.
03:41Her and Rhea knocked off the Kabuki Warriors, and Asuka's still bitter about that.
03:46Well, I have a feeling that Io Sky is still feeling the effects as Becky Lynch takes control once again.
03:53Cover here by Becky, and a kick out by Sky.
03:58Yeah, to your point, Asuka very, very unhappy with the results of last week.
04:03And I have a feeling it may be a long time before the Senpai sees her former charge ever again.
04:09And now Becky Lynch into the corner.
04:12With a forearm to Io Sky, and the Bexploder delivered.
04:16And kudos to the Intercontinental Champion, to Becky Lynch for coming out here,
04:20defending her gold in his impromptu contest.
04:23Overcoming a sneak attack by the surprise challenger Io Sky.
04:26And still having control of this matchup.
04:29Well, that's one way to look at it.
04:30Becky Lynch defeated Io Sky in their only meeting in a one-on-one competition.
04:35That was three years ago.
04:38They have met in tag team action back when Becky Lynch was teaming with Alita.
04:43Against damage control, as Becky now, the new Intercontinental Champion, heads to the rope.
04:48There's that leg drop to Io.
04:49Cover again by the champ.
04:50Hook of the leg, and a kick out by Io.
04:52The bottom line is, Becky shouldn't have come out here running her mouth and saying that she was gonna issue
04:56an open challenge.
04:58Who are you to tell the man what she should or should not do as we take another look at
05:02this tremendous
05:04leg drop that nearly ended the matchup.
05:06We just in the last match, Cole, were singing the praises of Penta for being a proud fighting champion.
05:12Becky Lynch attempts to follow suit.
05:13She has certain parameters.
05:15She wanted a shiny new exciting challenger.
05:17But here we are, and Becky's still throwing hands with the best of them.
05:20And as you can see on your screen, we're getting word it's official from our general manager Adam Pearce.
05:24Rey Mysterio in action tonight against El Grande Americano.
05:29Americano requesting the matchup prior to the biggest match of his life.
05:34Mask versus Mask in Triple A.
05:36More on that later.
05:38Right now we have an Intercontinental title match unfolding before our eyes and Laredo is red hot.
05:44And we are sold out tonight.
05:45These two women, Io Sky, Becky Lynch battling Intercontinental title.
05:51I would like to send out congratulations to the brand new United States champion.
05:55Over on Friday night SmackDown 1, Tiffany Stratton.
05:59As Io Sky looks to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in her career.
06:04You're pandering, knows no bounds.
06:06Becky, this is wildly.
06:08Sky now, hanging her up on the top rope.
06:13Io making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
06:16Few are as comfortable up there as she.
06:19And the two-time champion with a missile drop kick to Becky and Io suddenly in control.
06:31What a moment this would be if Io Sky can win the Intercontinental title tonight from a very cocky Becky
06:38Lynch.
06:42Full and train attack by Io.
06:45Cover.
06:46One, two, three.
06:47And Becky kicks out at two.
06:50Take another look at the impact on this missile drop kick.
06:53Notice the full leg extension by Io Sky right to the chest of the champion.
06:59We could be moments away.
07:01And Becky Lynch quickly back to her feet though.
07:03And now from behind, taking down Sky to retain the title.
07:07And a kick out by Io at two.
07:12Becky Lynch perhaps getting frustrated over the fact that she hasn't been able to put Io away
07:17despite the beat down before this match even began.
07:23Here we go.
07:25Looking for a manhandle slam.
07:26Io rolls her up, stomped out of the midsection.
07:33Wisely, the champ.
07:34Smart move.
07:35Rolls out of the ring.
07:37And Io Sky now.
07:39And she was looking for the suicide dive and Becky intercepted her.
07:46Yes!
07:46Io kicked right to the nose.
07:49Becky trapped in a precarious position here.
07:52What is Io thinking?
07:54Io Sky- Uh-oh, uh-oh!
07:56Hang on, Becky!
07:58No!
07:59The sunset flip bomb now to Becky Lynch.
08:03Both women are down.
08:07Intercontinental title on the line.
08:20Critical moment in this matchup.
08:23Well, unfortunately for Io champion, the advantage is in effect.
08:26The title only changes hands by pinfall or submission, which obviously cannot happen
08:31on the outside of the ring.
08:32Yeah, champion's advantage for Becky.
08:34Io Sky needs to drag herself up.
08:36Got to get Becky back in the ring or at least break the count here.
08:42Becky sent into the ring.
08:43And Io Sky into the ring as well.
08:45That'll break the count.
08:46Cover now.
08:47On the champ.
08:48Hook to the leg and a kick out by Lynch.
08:52And now frustration washing over the face of the genius of the sky.
08:58Becky's gonna be frustrated if she loses tonight.
09:00It'll be a short eight-day title reign.
09:03Actually, nine.
09:04Do you understand the consequences of Becky losing the championship?
09:08Do you know how many lives would be affected?
09:10One.
09:11Oh!
09:11Becky!
09:12Uh-oh!
09:13Armbar applied now to Io Sky.
09:15He's looking to block.
09:18And great counter by Io.
09:19Turns it into a pinning combination.
09:21Uh-oh, uh-oh!
09:22Crossface is in!
09:23And Becky's got nowhere to go.
09:25Io Sky with a crossface locked in.
09:27Becky trying to drag herself now to the bottom rope.
09:30Can't force a break.
09:31Roll through now.
09:33And Becky!
09:35Disarmor!
09:36Lynch with the disarmor!
09:38Her submission specialty.
09:41And Io Sky's in trouble.
09:43Great counter.
09:44Break counter again.
09:46Becky able to kick out momentarily.
09:48And once again into a crossface, or trying at least, for Io Sky.
09:52Becky rolls through.
09:54Good night, Bex.
09:56Becky may be out, collapsing into the cover of Sky, and a kick out.
10:03Great matchup for the Intercontinental Championship.
10:08Io, Io, Io, Io, Io, Io.
10:12WWE Universe trying to rally Io Sky.
10:15Nobody home.
10:17And Becky trying to use the ropes to her advantage.
10:19Io Sky dumps her out to the floor.
10:23Again, Io understands that she needs to get Becky back inside to win.
10:28For a springboard moonsault, Becky Lynch beat her to the punch.
10:32Now Io, great.
10:34Becky now bounced off the barricade.
10:42The genius of the sky with a helping hand from a WWE fan at ringside and across body.
10:50I think our official needs to consider outside interference on that.
10:54That was a fan on the wrong side of the barricade, putting his nose in Becky Lynch's business.
10:59This isn't baseball, Graves.
11:01Where's security?
11:14And this is for the Women's Intercontinental Championship sold out tonight.
11:18Laredo, Texas.
11:19Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix.
11:21Becky Lynch now with a superplex.
11:23And Becky not done there.
11:26DDT.
11:27Great combination by Lynch.
11:28Cover now by the champ.
11:30Hook to the leg on Io Sky.
11:31And this impromptu Intercontinental title match continues.
11:38Both women giving it their absolute all as we are entering the deep waters of this
11:43Intercontinental Championship contest.
11:53Critical moment in this match.
11:55Both champion and challenger down.
11:58It is for the prestigious Women's Intercontinental title.
12:01Becky the first ever three-time Women's Intercontinental Champion.
12:08And we'll give Becky credit.
12:10She's made this title mean so much.
12:13Went for the manhandle slam.
12:14Io Sky turns it around.
12:15Pinny combination for the challenger and a kick out again by Becky.
12:21What a kick.
12:22What a super kick by Sky.
12:25Yeah.
12:25And now Io.
12:27Becky.
12:29Backbreaker.
12:30Cover.
12:30One, two.
12:31And Becky just survives.
12:37Let's take a look at this.
12:40Beautiful back kick by Io Sky right under the chin of the man.
12:45Followed up by this butterfly backbreaker from Io.
12:49But Becky Lynch kicks out.
12:52And our Intercontinental Championship match continues.
12:56Io Sky took the challenge that was issued by Becky, who's quickly back to her feet.
13:01Becky doing a nice job not allowing Io Sky to fly.
13:06I think it's Becky with absolutely no time to prepare for one of the premier competitors
13:10in the women's division.
13:13Tornado DDT.
13:14Io Sky didn't have time to prepare either.
13:17Io putting Becky in position.
13:19Sky now gonna head up to the top rope.
13:24Looking for Io with the moonsault.
13:25Becky got her boots up.
13:27Nasty landing for Io.
13:29Lynch now.
13:30Manhandle slam.
13:32Becky.
13:33Cover.
13:34Io still in it.
13:38Becky thought that was it.
13:42Lynch had the wherewithal to get both boots up to thwart the over the moonsault.
13:48Lynch would then land her bread and butter.
13:51The manhandle slam, the same move she beat AJ Lee with at WrestleMania.
13:56But Io Sky almost miraculously able to survive.
14:01And Becky with just a look of disbelief on her face.
14:04And now the frustration could be setting in for the Intercontinental Champion.
14:14Becky heading up to the top rope.
14:15Io Sky back to her feet.
14:17No.
14:18Becky Lynch lands on the top turnbuckle and tumbles to the apron and the floor.
14:25Io has acquired the target.
14:29And I say moonsault by Io Sky takes out Becky Lynch.
14:34And now Io scrambling, trying to get the champion back in.
14:39Now Io lost the shoe amidst the chaos.
14:43And look at it, Asuka.
14:44Asuka.
14:45The Empress of Tomorrow, the official never saw it.
14:49Asuka from behind.
14:50Becky Lynch gonna take advantage with a manhandle slam.
14:55One, two, three.
14:55And Lynch retains.
15:00Here is your winner, it's still the Women's Intercontinental Champion.
15:08The man, Becky Lynch.
15:13Becky Lynch picks up the win thanks to that woman, Asuka.
15:17Asuka, who continues this bitter rivalry with her once good friend, Io Sky.
15:26Asuka still stinging from the dagger plunged into her back by Io Sky.
15:31And not done yet to kick to Io Sky, who right now is defenseless.
15:37And the Asuka lock, the Asuka lock is cinched in.
15:40And Io with nowhere to go, Asuka continues to torture Io.
15:44She's out, she's out, she's out.
15:46Io writhing and screaming in pain.
15:48Let her go, let her go, let her go.
15:51Somebody's gotta separate these two.
15:52She's out, she's out, she's out, you gotta let her go, Asuka.
15:55And finally, thank goodness the official was there.
15:58Io running the hard way, you betray the Empress of Tomorrow at your own peril.
16:07Look at this, the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka standing tall.
16:12She just won't let it go.
