00:00On ECV, the demons in countries, on ECV.
00:13As brutality plays, Rhea Ripley may want to dish out some of it.
00:35What a scene that is to have Lash face-to-face with Rhea Ripley.
00:41Feel the heat from here, but Mammy has got business to take care of Lash Legend and Nia Jax will
00:48have to wait.
00:50The following six-woman tag team contest is scheduled for one call.
00:55Introducing first is the WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley!
01:09Six-woman tag team action with Rhea Ripley.
01:13Charlotte and Alexa will be joining the mix against Fatal Influence next is still to come.
01:25Well, three weeks ago, Rhea Ripley won the Women's World Championship over Jade Cargill.
01:30Hyper-focused that night.
01:31Tonight, enraged and ready to teach the rookies a lesson.
01:35As are her partners as well.
01:54Royalty has arrived.
01:59Of course, there's a history between these two, Rhea and Charlotte, that they have to put in the rear-view
02:06mirror.
02:06And in the past, that's what's needed tonight with a common cause.
02:14Coming together to solve the Fatal Influence problem is the hope.
02:27With another legend who's been keeping the peace, holding it together for this.
02:37And her tag team partner, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss!
02:45Wade, you were on the call at WrestleMania when these two, Flair and Bliss, were so close to conquering gold
02:50again.
02:50Instead, now they've been dealing with that group, the most disruptive new additions to the SmackDown roster.
02:56Yeah, and what an addition Fatal Influence have been.
03:00They've taken down a series of top names in the division.
03:05Hence why Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley have rather begrudgingly been forced into teaming up today.
03:15Now, of course, Charlotte Flair historically has not played well with others.
03:20The one person to be able to pierce that veil has been Alexa Bliss.
03:25I really struggle to see how on earth Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair can possibly team together knowing full well
03:34their egos and the fierce rivalry that exists between them.
03:41It was last week Charlotte attacked by Fatal Influence after her match against J.C. Jane.
03:47Rhea Ripley ran down to save them after there was an exchange backstage prior to that with Charlotte.
03:55And now here is Alexa set to start things off.
04:00So Fatal Influence, a trio who worked perfectly, they have defined roles, they have a leader in J.C. Jane.
04:06On the other side of the ring, here's why this is not going to work at all.
04:09You effectively have a company that has three CEOs.
04:14And if you have three CEOs in the company, who is going to clean the toilets?
04:19None of those three women are going to do that.
04:21They're three of the best of a generation.
04:23Yep, individually.
04:24Three of the most experienced with the thickest resumes you've ever seen with Bliss, Ripley and Flair.
04:33And they are not necessarily going to be worth the sum of their parts.
04:37And that is the issue tonight when they take on Fatal Influence.
04:39Yeah, but I think the veterans are looking to teach them a lesson here as you've seen that right away
04:43with Alexa Bliss.
04:48It's been a hot start from Alexa Bliss.
04:51Clearly a lot of venom in some of these shots on Fallon Henley, who was not allowed out of the
04:56blocks in this one.
04:57And welcome to the big time here against a former five-time world champ.
05:03Who hooks the leg against Henley.
05:05Fallon Henley, the former NXT North American champion.
05:08Lainey Reed getting a cheap shot for good measure, but that opened a little window there for Fallon Henley.
05:13And we know from Fallon Henley's exploits in NXT where she did win the women's North American championship.
05:21And indeed tag gold on occasion.
05:23She is more than capable of causing major trouble.
05:26And talking about capable, here is JC Jane.
05:29Talking about somebody who can cause trouble, JC Jane as Lainey Reed tags in.
05:34And this is the teamwork that you were talking about, Wade.
05:37That's that chemistry that's simply undeniable.
05:39Doesn't matter how good individual resumes may be when it comes to tag and sitcom and tag action.
05:46It is all about what you can do as a unit.
05:49Oh, right in the face of Charlotte Flair.
05:51Really?
05:52A 14-time champion.
05:55And that's what Lainey Reed is going to do.
05:56Oh!
05:56Oh dear.
05:57Here comes Mami.
06:04Real bloody Ripley.
06:06Well now it's turned into a one-on-one match and poor Lainey Reed is struggling to keep up.
06:12And Mami is now completely unglued.
06:15Yeah, shifting into that next gear and you're seeing exactly what talent and championship pedigree looks like.
06:22And Rhea Ripley may not need her tag partners the way this is looking.
06:26No, this is a one-woman show right now.
06:30Missile dropkick.
06:32The heights and distance she got there.
06:34Ooh, well the world is impressed.
06:36Charlotte Flair on the outside wasn't looking too impressed, but her tag partner for tonight.
06:41Oh!
06:41Rhea bloody Ripley doing the business.
06:44And this place coming unglued.
06:46Off the apron.
07:11Rhea Ripley.
07:12And Fatal Influence out on the floor in the midst of our six-woman tag team match.
07:18A little, uh, diversionary tactics here and finally it works!
07:24As Lainey Reed pounces.
07:26Rhea, kick out!
07:29I mean you have to think the women of NXT who have recently graduated up here.
07:34And a hostile series of attacks on the blue brand are fully aware of the dangers that Rhea bloody Ripley
07:41holds.
07:42Would have studied her for years.
07:45Gleaned every bit of intel they can from the abilities of this woman.
07:49Learned from it and are now using that against the WWE women's champ.
07:55And dealing with the fact that you're in there with her to begin with.
07:59And that in itself, Joe, will kill a lot of the chances of newcomer women.
08:05JC Jane off the cannonball into the hook of the leg.
08:09I cannot even begin to tell you the kind of imposter syndrome that newcomers to the blue brand will have
08:15when they get in the ring with people like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and indeed Rhea Ripley.
08:21But that seems to be completely immune or Fatal Influence seem to be immune to the effects of that.
08:28I think it's the way they arrived on the roster.
08:30Just attacking all the big names immediately.
08:35See Charlotte Flair on the apron.
08:38Trying to rally support for a long time historic rival in Rhea Ripley.
08:44Well, here's the problem.
08:45Rhea Ripley got into this fight and started trying to beat everyone on her own.
08:50That is great.
08:50It's impressive.
08:51It gets the crowd on their feet.
08:53But when things suddenly go wrong, you realize you're bitten off more than you can chew.
08:57Rhea.
08:58Simply kick out.
09:00Cannot beat three on one.
09:02Three women the caliber of Fatal Influence who work together so well as a unit.
09:19No, just turning the corner and decking Charlotte Flair who has to be held back by R. Fisher.
09:26But that has backfired so much because in the corner you see Jaycee Jane of Fallon Henley
09:30using that for their advantage.
09:39And how impressive once again have Fatal Influence been here tonight.
09:44Dominating three of the best.
09:47And they score a huge victory however.
09:51Rhea, take it out.
09:54Hey, come on Rhea.
10:07The most disruptive new members on the SmackDown roster have been getting the best of things
10:13in our six-woman tag team match.
10:15That is Fatal Influence.
10:16J.C. Jane.
10:17Fallon Henley.
10:18And this is Laney Reed in the middle of the ring against Rhea Bloody Ripley who is desperate
10:25for a tag to either Alexa Bliss or Charlotte Flair.
10:29Well, Charlotte Flair has not even been tagged in yet in this one.
10:34Tantalizingly close but a beautiful move from Laney Reed cutting that short.
10:40A modified neck breaker and they have been in control as you see the finger pointing again
10:45at Charlotte Flair.
10:46He's been frustrated over there on the apron holding on to that tag rope.
10:50And that was a big mistake from Laney Reed talking a little too much trash taking her
10:55eye off Rhea Bloody Ripley.
10:57You simply can't do that.
10:58And it's now or never for Ripley.
11:01Can she make the tag?
11:02Jacksonville, Florida is ready to explode and woo.
11:07The Queen has arrived.
11:11Flair Chops being handed out to Fatal Influence.
11:19And bodies are dropping at the feet of the Queen of this industry.
11:24Walk over clothesline Charlotte Flair.
11:31Well Fatal Influence did one hell of a job taking down two out of their three opponents.
11:38However, they simply neglected to take care of Charlotte Flair and it has come back to bite them.
11:49Flair looking for payback, the big queen boot.
11:54That sends Fatal Influence right off the apron.
11:57And now Reed and J.C. Jane in the target zone for a cross body.
12:04J.C. Jane who pinned Charlotte Flair after dubious tactics last week.
12:09How about natural selection and looking for the win right here.
12:16A late, late kick out from J.C. Jane but hands off to J.C.
12:20Staying alive after that synchro natural selection.
12:25Would have put many people away but J.C. Jane is double top.
12:29Another big boot from the Queen.
12:32And Alexa Bliss now back in the mix.
12:36One person on the planet that Charlotte Flair does have that chemistry with.
12:40And this spells trouble for Fatal Influence.
12:43Oh, they were looking for stereo natural selection.
12:46Instead Fatal Influence able to respond.
12:50Uh oh.
12:51And now right over our desk.
12:54Balan Henley playing distraction.
12:56Oh, going for that rolling encore.
13:00Woods looking for the Sister Abigail DDT.
13:02Instead the counter.
13:03It's broken down in a big way.
13:06Things getting messy.
13:09At ringside but a nice leaping neck breaker there from J.C.J.
13:14Not going to be stopping out of Alexa Bliss.
13:18Signature move by Jane that running neck breaker.
13:22Oh, hold on.
13:23What in the world?
13:24Jane Cargill is here.
13:26Who we have not seen since her loss to Ripley at WrestleMania 42.
13:32Rolling encore by J.C. Jane.
13:40Here are your winners.
13:42Fatal Influence.
13:44Well, once again Fatal Influence shocking the world.
13:50And scoring another major victory.
13:53But the real story is lurking in the background.
13:57And that is Jade Cargill who was dethroned at WrestleMania by Rhea Ripley.
14:04Getting involved in this match behind the referee's back and one rolling encore later.
14:10Another huge dub for the ladies of Fatal Influence who continue to make their presence felt here on the blue
14:19brand.
14:19The former WWE Women's Champion, Jade Cargill, plays a major role.
14:33Fatal Influence backs off.
14:35We can't blame them.
14:36They've achieved what they came here to achieve.
14:38And now it's up to Jade Cargill to pick the bones.
14:50And down Rhea Ripley.
14:53Off the apron.
14:54And now Alexa Bliss.
14:57Hope we'll see in the corner.
15:01Come on, Alexa.
15:02Get up.
15:04Get up.
15:09Oh, hold on.
15:10That's Meechin and B-Fab.
15:12B-Fab and Meechin just as Charlotte Flair was trying to get in there to help her partner.
15:19B-Fab and Meechin arrive.
15:26Rhea Ripley's back.
15:28Back on her feet.
15:31Big headbutt to Meechin.
15:33Massive kick to B-Fab.
15:35Oh, the pump kick from her chief rival.
15:38Her WrestleMania opponent.
15:41The woman she took gold from.
15:43And this is a pre-beaten down.
15:45Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
15:48Who perhaps have nothing left in the tank.
15:52And are now getting decimated by B-Fab, Meechin and Jade Cargill.
15:59Charlotte Flair courageously to her feet.
16:03And taken down by Meechin.
16:10As those three stand over them.
16:15Three weeks removed from WrestleMania.
16:17Jade Cargill is back.
16:20We.
16:21We.
16:22We.
16:23We.
16:25We.
16:27We.
16:29So.
16:29He J dollar for wrestling in Lake Seag.
