00:00Down.
00:30Down.
00:31Down.
00:32Down.
00:32Down.
00:34Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley!
00:41How about a little brutality in Kentucky?
00:44Mommy is here and waiting.
00:46It's been a couple of weeks when a WrestleMania rival, Jade Cargo, and her crew were on the
00:51attack recently.
00:53Yeah, let's take you back two weeks ago on SmackDown.
00:58as Rhea Ripley soaks in the adulation, this was six-woman tag action, now amidst the chaos
01:06Jade Cargill made her post-WrestleMania return, attacking Ripley, handing victory to the newcomers
01:13of Fatal Influence, although post-match Meechan and B-Fab also arrived, beating the hell out of
01:20Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley tried in vain to fight back, but ultimately
01:26it was a major show of force from Cargill, who is desperate to regain the gold she lost
01:33at WrestleMania 42 to that woman.
01:46And every time I watch that clip, just the sound of that thud as Jade took out her legs and
01:52sent her to the steel steps, and that has set the stage for this.
01:56The demons in your dreams, I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
02:12Welcome to Friday Night Mommy!
02:25I had one week off, and it seemed like someone really missed me.
02:38Because Jade and her crew, they decided to try and send a message.
02:43But all they managed to do was really piss me off.
02:47So now that I'm back, I'm itching for a fight.
02:56So Jade, if you want your rematch, then I will happily beat you again.
03:09So you, verse me, at Clash in Italy for the WWE Women's Championship!
03:29We're nine days away from that, but we're only 24 hours away from Saturday Night's main event,
03:35and the six-woman tag, that includes the Queen, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss.
03:42Yeah, these are some uneasy tag partners, partners of convenience, perhaps.
03:50Gotta break it work tomorrow night against Jade Cargill, BFAP, and MeChic.
03:55That'll be streaming on Peacock, Saturday Night's main event.
04:06Look, champ, I appreciate you wanting to defend your title, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
04:12We still have a six-woman tag team match tomorrow against Jade, BFAP, and MeChic.
04:20Which we all need to be on the same page for.
04:23Actually, Lexi, you make a really good point, but I need to address the elephant in the room.
04:30So Rhea, Lexi and I needed your help last week, so could you answer us, um, where were you?
04:45Look, Charlotte, I'm, I'm sorry, but I actually wanted to go home to see my family.
04:51Do I not get a day off like everyone else?
04:54No, I'm actually, I'm happy you went home to see your family.
04:58I, I, I get that more than anyone.
05:00But we needed your help last week against Jade and her crew.
05:04And here's the thing, Lexi and I have our own battles to fight.
05:11Charlotte, weren't you the one that said that you didn't need me?
05:17No, no, no, no, no, yes, I did say that when we were facing fatal influence, but now I'm saying,
05:24Lexi and I need your help with your problem.
05:29Maybe we should all just, you know, take a breath.
05:31Seriously, you know, I'm sorry that you guys got ambushed, but from where I was watching, it looked like Alexa
05:39took most of it.
05:40So if you can't even have your partner, your best friend's back, then how am I supposed to trust you
05:46with my back?
05:47Guys, seriously, we really need to stop here.
05:49This is getting ridiculous.
05:51No, no, no, no, no, no, I see what you're doing.
05:52You're trying to make a problem that's not there.
05:55You're trying to draw a wedge between my bestie and I.
05:58No, I see it.
05:59Draw a wedge, mate.
06:00You're the one drawing the wedge here, not me.
06:06Now they're here.
06:09You're bringing this head shit.
06:12Oh, we got company.
06:14Yeah, the most disruptive recent force in the women's division.
06:17Fatal influence.
06:19This is great.
06:20Please keep this going.
06:22I love it.
06:23In fact, there's nothing I love more than watching the Smackdown women's division unravel before our very eyes.
06:34And you know what's funny?
06:37It seemed like this all started the second Fatal Influence stepped foot on the scene.
06:44Right?
06:53Okay, cut it down.
06:54I'm not done talking, okay?
06:57Thank you for your respect.
07:02You see, while you all have been at each other's throats, Fallon, Lainey, and yours truly, JC Jane, have ascended
07:13to the top of this division with ease.
07:16Because when we see an opportunity, we take it.
07:22In fact, I think we're looking at one right now.
07:28Are you?
07:31You know, JC, we love your confidence, but I'm not here for the back and forth.
07:37So how about any two of you face Lexi and I tonight?
07:46That's perfect.
07:47That's all I needed to hear.
07:51Bye-bye.
07:56The young upstarts stepping to the living legends again.
08:01I'll tell you right now, Fatal Influence are a major problem here on SmackDown.
08:08And it sounds like we're going to have ourselves a little tag action later on tonight.
08:18As Rupp Arena explodes for Mami.
08:27I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
08:30The demons in your dreams.
08:33I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
08:38I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
08:40I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
08:41I'll eat, sleep, bleed.
08:42And her tag team partner, from Cali, South Australia, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.
08:54With that championship gold in hand, of course, Jay Carville puts forth the challenge for Clash in Italy.
09:02The business will take care of here tonight at SmackDown.
09:05Then tomorrow on Saturday night's main event, when Rhea, Charlotte, and Alexa will go up against Jay, Meechin, and VFAP.
09:18Nine days away from Turin, and streaming on the ESPN app, it is Rhea Ripley, Jay Carville, the WWE Women's
09:32Championship.
09:33Yeah, it could be nine days until Rhea Ripley loses the gold in hand right now, back to the woman
09:41she took it from at WrestleMania 42.
09:45But first things first, a couple of big-time matches ahead of that for Ripley, and indeed Charlotte Flair.
09:53And tomorrow night, Alexa Bliss 2 at Saturday night's main event.
09:58Give Alexa Bliss credit for helping us have this match here, and this dynamic power pairing.
10:05Well, I don't think Rhea Ripley or Charlotte Flair are quite ready to thank Bliss for her antics today in
10:13putting this match together.
10:15Charlotte Flair clearly wanted to tag with Bliss, not Ripley.
10:19Bliss did the smart thing with an eye on tomorrow's matchup at Saturday night's main event.
10:24We're going to iron out the problems right now.
10:28Now we won't let you in.
10:31Cause we hold on the light, and I'll blind you with pain.
10:36And I know the first fight is you can't take the day.
10:41So stay away, you may tell.
10:44We'll take all of this game.
10:55Wait, how much pleasure has Fatal Influence had creating as much chaos as possible in the women's division?
11:07So, what is your mission when you come up from NXT and step up to the biggest stage of them
11:15all on Raw and SmackDown?
11:17And your mission is to get in there and make the show about you as quickly as possible.
11:24And I would say historically, I don't think anyone has done a job quite as well as this trio of
11:31rock stars, Fatal Influence, who have not only the fan base talking about them, but also the biggest names in
11:39the locker room.
11:40And names that don't come bigger than Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and Rhea Bloody Ripley.
11:47Job well done, JC Jane et al.
11:51And it's the way they've done it, and it's what you just pointed out.
11:55Because you can have those that are new to the roster who say,
11:58Okay, there are going to be rungs on the ladder, and I will climb every rung on the ladder and
12:04try to work my way towards contendership.
12:08Not this group, wasting no time.
12:10And Charlotte Flair is wasting no time.
12:12But they wasted no time, Wade, in going right to the top to poke and prod and bother and disrupt.
12:19Well, they've got confidence.
12:20They've certainly got talent.
12:21But they've come in here with the smarts of knowing they're not going to walk on eggshells.
12:26They're not going to play good girls.
12:27They're not going to wait their turn in catering.
12:30They're going to come out here, and they're going to make a play for gold on the top spots in
12:35WWE right from the word go.
12:38And I like that.
12:39And by the way, Charlotte Flair delivering on the attitude we heard and saw from her earlier tonight immediately.
12:44I've got to tell you right now, that outfit of Charlotte Flair's should be banned.
12:48It is a cheat code.
12:50It is simply mesmerizing the opponents.
12:53How can you possibly focus on your fight with that outfit?
12:56Wow.
12:57The ultimate fashionista of WWE.
12:59It needs to be in the loop.
13:07So Fallon Henley now deciding, tagging out, and giving Lainey Reid a little try here.
13:15Unfortunately for Lainey, a fresh mammy is in the ring.
13:18Unique chemistry is how we'll tub it between Rhea and Charlotte on that tag exchange.
13:25We just need to go back in time and think about those partners of convenience
13:31that one year ago Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss were.
13:35Well, essentially that is the role of Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair tonight.
13:40It's worked once, it may work again, but right now Lainey Reid looking pretty damn special,
13:45but what a catch from Manny.
13:47Reid went for the cross body.
13:49Rhea Ripley said, watch out, fall away, slam against Lainey Reid.
13:54Lainey Reid may want to get over to Fallon Henley and make the, well, that's safe.
13:58The pat on the head tag.
14:02Oh, these two.
14:05The two living legends.
14:07I mean, that's a disrespectful time.
14:09I think, to be fair, Charlotte's having to look at you.
14:11They are who they are.
14:13Oh, Charlotte.
14:15With that big clean boot.
14:17And then all of a sudden, Lainey Reid takes control.
14:21And now out on the floor.
14:23Fallon Henley runs Flair right to the top of our announce desk.
14:27Shot out of my, that aggression from Henley here.
14:29Bouncing.
14:30Oh, man.
14:32All over the place.
14:32And that distract from JC Jane Pivotal here.
14:37As finally, Fatal Influence have the upper hand.
14:40Fallon Henley.
14:42You're welcome.
15:00Well, Charlotte Flair just got wrecked on the outside of the ring in the midst of our tag team match
15:06here.
15:07Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid taking on Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair.
15:12And once Fatal Influence get the upper hand, historically speaking, right at him, cowgirl, historically speaking, they simply do not
15:21let up.
15:22That has been their story in NXT over the past couple of years.
15:25And it seems to be the story here now in this match.
15:30Fallon Henley, Fatal Influence, bubbling up with confidence.
15:35As they should be.
15:37And if they're bubbling up with confidence now, imagine how bubbling up that confidence will be.
15:42If they put away the team of Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley.
15:46And now you see the teamwork and Lainey Reid came in with such velocity and now a count of two.
15:53Yeah, that's from drilling in the WWE Performance Center, getting their movement down, getting their synchronicity down.
16:02And it really is showing here and there's a lack of synchronicity between their opponents, Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley.
16:09Two all-timer individuals who simply aren't quite clicking as a team thus far.
16:28And it really was JC Jane on the outside of this one that caused that distraction so pivotal to giving
16:36Lainey Reid the upper hand here against Charlotte Flair.
16:40And looking damn good while she does it.
16:45It's Alexa Bliss looks on, hoping that Charlotte can free herself, desperate to get the tag for Rhea Ripley.
16:53Alexa Bliss suddenly realizing that she made a major miscalculation putting Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley together in this one.
17:00Yeah, but also understanding they need to work through this stuff before they get to Saturday Night's Main Event.
17:17And this has just been relentless from Lainey Reid who continues to impress fairly young in her career but listening
17:27to the smarts of JC Jane developing rapidly and becoming a major player and a major force here on SmackDown.
18:00The young rising stars fatal influence.
18:04Lainey Reid continue to impress as you see Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid in there against Charlotte Flair and Rhea
18:12Ripley as Charlotte.
18:13They've been getting the best of her but now she starts to fight back.
18:16Talk about impressive.
18:18That was impressive from Charlotte Flair but the hopes are fading away rapidly.
18:23Lainey Reid laughing in the face of Rhea bloody Ripley.
18:26She knows full well they have a major upper hand here over Charlotte Flair.
18:32Lainey Reid just playing with her food for a moment.
18:35Dropping down that elbow to the back of the neck of the 14-time world champion.
18:45The queen boot from Flair and then JC Jane takes out her feet right on the edge of the apron.
18:53Lainey Reid distracting the referee in ring.
18:56Did not see a thing.
18:58It just never ends with fatal influence.
19:00Well nor should it.
19:01There are three young women looking to go places in a hurry.
19:05A nice twist in suplex connecting there.
19:08And now you see the teamwork as Fallon Henley tags in right into the cover.
19:14Looking to put away Charlotte.
19:16Charlotte is so desperate to get to Rhea right now.
19:19People might not like the attitude of fatal influence but this is just textbook tag work
19:26from Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.
19:29And this is something that Rhea and Charlotte could learn a lot from if we're being perfectly honest.
19:36There is Rhea Ripley.
19:37Alexa Bliss had to play Peacemaker earlier tonight.
19:41Saying they're letting their personal issues get in the way of good business.
19:46Talk to Nick Aldis.
19:48Match was made.
19:49Rhea and Charlotte.
19:52Six-woman tag team awaits at Saturday Night's Main Event against Jade, Meechan and BFAP.
19:57But they are in major trouble here in the depths of this tag match against Fatal Influence.
20:03Right now Fallon Henley desperately clinging on trying to prevent this tag.
20:07You cannot let Rhea Ripley tag in.
20:09She is so close.
20:14Tantalizingly close and a smart shot there from Henley.
20:17Valon Henley looking to take out the low.
20:20Oh, what a big right forearm from Flair.
20:24Oh.
20:24Oh, knocks her right off the ropes.
20:27Charlotte's got hope here, Wade.
20:29A disaster moment for Fatal Influence who have to stop the tag.
20:33Oh, and Lainey Reed cuts down her leg.
20:37Ain't gonna happen today, Mommy.
20:39Ain't gonna happen today, Mommy.
20:44Flair rolls her up.
20:46A little too cocky there, did Lainey Reed.
20:49Oh, and now both are down.
20:52And how crucial could that little flurry from Charlotte Flair be here if, if she can make
21:00this tag to a fresh Rhea bloody Ripley, a fresh, highly motivated, highly agitated Rhea Ripley
21:09who is ready to unleash mayhem.
21:12Here she comes.
21:15Brutality in Lexington.
21:18Well, I hope you had your fun Fatal Influence because the game just changed.
21:24What a massive right forearm from Rhea on Lainey Reed.
21:31Fatal Influence is finding out.
21:34And Rhea Ripley's finding that gear.
21:38Gets the best of Henley.
21:43Big kick.
21:44Temple era kick right to the temple of Lainey Reed and it could be goodnight right here.
21:49Racer's edge lined up.
21:53Lainey goes flying.
21:55Mommy drops her.
21:59And coming in to make the save is Fallon Henley.
22:03Oh, what a massive boot from Flair.
22:06Clutch timing from Fallon Henley to save the match for Fatal Influence, but it might be
22:11for Nort here.
22:13Charlotte to the outside.
22:17And now Lainey Reed is left alone with Rhea Ripley.
22:23The tide has completely turned in this one at the right time for Ripley and Charlotte Flair.
22:29Oh, no.
22:31Got out of the way.
22:32And Flair took that kick.
22:36Well, Mommy might finish it regardless.
22:37It's one-on-one now.
22:40Lining her up.
22:42The Riptide and Flair blind tag.
22:46Natural selection.
22:47One, two, three.
22:49One, two, three.
22:51Whatever it takes.
22:53Here are your winners.
22:55The WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair.
23:01Well, I think Charlotte Flair, to be fair to Charlotte, wanted to tag back in because she'd just
23:07been blasted off the apron by Lainey Reed.
23:11But regardless, it works.
23:13A new tag team here.
23:15Oh, Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Mee-Champ.
23:2024 hours removed from Saturday night's main event.
23:25They attack.
23:26Just been laying in wait the entire night for the exact right moment to pounce.
23:34Oh, what a job.
23:36What a mugging it has been.
23:38Fatal Influence getting him on the act too.
23:40It's all over Lexi.
23:42And now Fallon Henley and Lainey Reed getting their shots in as well as Jade Cargill just
23:49stands back and watches B-Fab and Mee-Champ.
23:52And now, Clash in Italy is nine days away.
23:57And these two powerhouses are exchanging big shots.
24:02Rhea Ripley heavily worn down and now being beaten by the woman she faces in nine days' time.
24:08Oh, no.
24:09For that WWE Women's Championship.
24:12Jade in!
24:15Cargill turning off the dial as she closes in on that championship showdown at Clash in Italy.
24:25The rematch of WrestleMania.
24:27It happens Sunday, May 31st from Torino, Italy, streaming on the ESPN app.
24:36Shane and Rhea Clash in Italy.
24:41See you at Clash in Italy.
