00:00newest face on the roster and with that comes a lot of people trying to snuff out your light
00:05well again Sol Ruka who has only been wrestling for four years she was part of the NIL program
00:12being trained of course at NXT she really made a name for himself back herself back in December
00:18at Saturday night's main event which he knocked off the legendary Bayley how about the matchup
00:22with Liv Morgan the world champ a few weeks ago Sol Ruka put together some magical matches and
00:27moments in NXT but now the real test begins Sol is in there with EO Sky someone you claim is
00:33the
00:33best professional wrestler in the world no doubt and I agree with that but this could be the night
00:38that EO Sky is right for the picking because so emotional because of what happened over the past
00:4348 hours with her friend Asuka we can tell you this about the Empress of Tomorrow we know that her
00:49future is up in the air she's appeared to say goodbye you saw it again tonight but honestly who
00:55knows Corey only time will tell again Asuka feeling some level of peace oh we can tell
01:01having been bested by her student and Sol Ruka now with the upper hand on the genius of this guy
01:08think
01:08of what this would do to propel Sol Ruka up the card on Monday Night Raw knocking off a former
01:13women's
01:13world champion talk to Sol Ruka a bit earlier today she said she's proud of herself and she's just
01:19honored to be a part of all this the longest reigning episodic television show in history
01:24Sol Ruka looking to become its newest star and look at Ruka now looking to overpower EO Sky
01:32Sol Ruka says she's not your typical high flyer she says being tall gives her an edge and now riding
01:38the surfboard of Sky well if we're being honest with ourselves Sol Ruka was athletically blessed by all of
01:45the gods now EO Sky look for a standing switch now on the move and the strategy in this one
01:51if
01:51you're EO is show Sol something she hasn't seen before but also be ready to contend with something
01:57maybe you've never seen before beautiful hit right to the midsection by EO Sky and the CEO rely on her
02:04experience as we just saw unfold before our eyes wait for Sol to give you an opening perhaps make a
02:10mistake
02:10and that's when EO will capitalize Sol Ruka comes our way from the University of Oregon she was a
02:16gymnast and she was involved in a niche sport there Corey acrobatics and tumbling which she believes
02:21helped her prepare herself for WWE she also wanted to be a stunt double who wants to be a stunt
02:27double
02:27I don't know if I went to the University of Oregon all I'd want to do is hunt the mascot
02:33and here's EO now with a side headlock on Ruka Sol trying to create some space but EO has it
02:40locked
02:40in and I like what we've seen from both women to this point a very scientific style matchup both
02:45women just utilizing their technique no underhanded tricks no cheap shots just the best of the best oh
02:49and a kick now this guy drops her to the floor rare miscalculation by EO that could be a symptom
02:55of what
02:55you were describing called the high emotions in the genius and now Ruka look at this up top went
03:00for the moonsault nobody home is sky scooted back into the ring and again that's just the veteran of
03:05instinct to be old sky taking advantage of the rookie here tonight whoa taking down Ruka
03:13again EO sky's got a feel of freedom tonight Corey and whether that's a curse or a blessing only time
03:21will tell some people perform best when they have that that pressure within that pressure from above
03:26in EO's case for all these years knowing Asuka the Empress was over her shoulder oh wow what a corkscrew
03:32from Sol Ruka springboard off the ropes taking over this matchup against EO sky
03:41breathtaking
03:45Sol Ruka now with an opportunity to capitalize after taking a high risk move that paid off
03:50major dividends and one thing about Sol Ruka delivers a knee to the face of sky here's the
03:56cover hook of the leg she's never looked out of her element Corey sure you you have butterflies you
04:00could see some mistakes here and there but she's never looked out of her element since she's appeared
04:05over the past few weeks yeah Sol has developed an incredibly high in-ring IQ in a relatively short
04:10period of time in just four years I mean a lot of people haven't completed wrestling school in that time
04:15and here Sol is now a member of the Monday Night Raw roster and a surfboard submission applied to EO
04:20have a sky finder way out of this putting the pressure on EO sky and that's such a painful
04:26submission to be trapped in particularly when you're upside down like EO just was you almost
04:31have to wait for your opponent to tire themselves out you know what I find a really amazing is the
04:36fact that two of our newest superstars on Monday Night Raw have both only been in professional
04:42wrestling for four years we'll see that other man later on tonight the ruler Obafemi who has another
04:48open challenge talk about dominance EO was able to get the boot up just in time face first
04:55goes Ruka I mean that just goes to show you uh the training that goes down at the performance center
05:02part of NXT preparing these superstars to come up to this stage Monday Night Raw and EO sky
05:09finding herself into some trouble here tonight against Ruka
05:17EO now uh dragging soul back to her feet double underhook applied
05:24oh and a backbreaker knee right to the spine EO cover Ruka kicks out at two
05:33it was a nasty landing on the backbreaker from EO sky it's almost as though she turned soul a few
05:39degrees and drove the ribs of her opponent across the knee again both these women like to pick up the
05:46pace both like to fly but take note of the methodical style being utilized by the veteran EO sky
05:53understanding that she may only get one opportunity to slip up against Sol Ruka and she learned a lot
05:57of that from the Empress of Tomorrow Asuka
06:02both women now trading right hands
06:07who's this pace right now favor
06:10off the top of my head I would say EO
06:13but we've seen Sol Ruka in NXT go into the proverbial deep waters of a match she has a gas
06:19tank on her
06:20she's not afraid to drag this thing out if need be
06:29old banks hit you with big fees it's not chime you bank fee free and build your credit and now
06:36you get five percent cash back on any category you choose like restaurants and delivery or gas or
06:43groceries even monthly bills and streaming services park it in a high yield savings account and voila we're
06:50on vacation and that gets cash back too don't bank the old way chime is America's number one choice
06:57for banking high above the ring Sol Ruka EO sky something else to give EO sky dropped to the mat
07:05rolls
07:06through so hey caught her on the top rope and the genius of the sky EO sky taking it to
07:13raw's newest
07:13superstar Sol Ruka I think EO may have may have scrambled Sol's brains a bit with that shoté
07:20uppercut the open hand palm strike and things about to get worse for Ms. Ruka
07:26Spanish fly position from EO from the top rope EO connects with a Spanish fly into the cover
07:32isn't enough to put Ruka away and a kick out at two and a half
07:37and Ruka showing some resilience tonight
07:41you see the frustration on the face of EO sky as we look once again at this picture perfect Spanish
07:48fly
07:48driving all the breath out of Sol Ruka's body but not enough to pick up the w yet for EO
07:54Monday Night Raw live tonight at the University of Tennessee still to come we await whether Jacob
07:59Fatu will actually acknowledge the world champion the original tribal chief Roman Reigns and history being
08:04made tonight as well as Dominic Mysterio will defend the triple-a mega championship against
08:13the OG original El Grande Americana the most prestigious championship in all of Lucha Libre
08:19to be defended tonight on Netflix but right now EO sky trying to turn the tides of this matchup
08:24against Sol Ruka big uppercut takes down the NXT upstart
08:32Ruka out of the way just in time and Sol now great display of power by Ruka
08:38oh wow man blue thunder bomb like move that time by Ruka and a kick out by EO
08:46the way Sol Ruka ripped EO out of the air and drove her down into the canvas take a look
08:52at
08:53this it's almost like Sol almost lost her grip and as a result just grabbed anything she could and
08:59rode EO down I can't believe sky was able to kick out EO in a precarious position here comes Ruka
09:07there goes EO kicked Ruka right between the eyes EO sky making the climb to the top turnbuckle
09:13here comes the genius
09:15missile drop kick delivered to Ruka and now the genius of the sky is starting to feel it
09:21EO sky fired up they are going crazy tonight in Knoxville
09:31Ruka does not want to be there right now it's EO sky looking to ride the wave
09:39and EO with a bullet train attack but nobody home and Sol Ruka now double leaves to the back of
09:46the neck
09:47Sol could be looking for a soul snatcher soon it only takes one great counter by sky and a stop
09:53right to
09:53the midsection and EO buys herself a little bit of time now into the cover and Sol gets the shoulder
10:01up at two
10:04and again the disappointment on the face of EO sky who perhaps underestimated her opponent tonight
10:13and no doubt EO still feeling the wounds of war from this past saturday at backlash
10:21in that epic encounter with the empress of tomorrow you mentioned before what a feather in the cap it
10:26would be for Sol Ruka if she could knock off EO sky here tonight
10:34and look at Sol and dropping EO
10:39EO is able to catch herself
10:41that could have been devastating
10:44look at this oh ho
10:46will hyperextend your knee if you're Sol Ruka great wherewithal by EO
10:52and now sky on the apron and EO now launching herself Sol Ruka quickly to the second rope boot to
11:00the face of EO sky
11:03Sol trying to get some feeling back in that leg as she climbs up to the top top rope now
11:10what is she thinking wow what a DDT what an upset what an upset and a kick out at two
11:20talk about a different look at a tornado DDT cory
11:25brings to mind the classic piperism when you think you've got the answers i change the questions
11:31Sol Ruka cartwheeling across the top rope
11:34and i agree with knoxville this is awesome i mean Sol Ruka she reminds me so much of the legendary
11:41Lita
11:43the way she moves around the ring takes those high risks oh with a bullet train attack
11:49to an inverted Ruka
11:53now EO with the proper bullet train attack
12:01and EO says that's it gonna set up Sol Ruka perhaps for an over the moon salt if sky can
12:08get up to the top rope
12:09still favoring her leg
12:12the target is acquired by the genius of the sky
12:19EO looking for over the moon salt Sol Ruka got her knees up EO hesitated just a little too much
12:25yeah i think her her legs bothering her and Sol Ruka took advantage
12:33pinning combination no rolled through by EO look at her soul snatcher no no EO sky just avoided the
12:39soul snatcher and turned it into a pinning combination here is your winner EO sky
12:48pouring one instinct by sky she felt the soul snatcher coming and she stopped herself she
12:54braked and it forced the soul to miss and it turned it into the pin EO living up to the
12:59billing of the
13:00genius of the sky but this time in her ground game crucifix pinning combination EO just saw it coming
13:07perhaps a bit overzealous was Sol Ruka no need to hang your head Sol what an effort tonight but you
13:16were just bested by one of the best to ever
