00:00last night in Monterey, Mexico.
00:44What the hell is this?
00:46I told you that there's more than one El Grande Americano.
00:51Hola.
00:52Incensed that the Lucha Libre world deemed him the fraudulent Americano.
00:58The original was out of blood.
01:02The OG definitely means Lucha disrespect.
01:08Y ahora, El Grande Americano estaba listo para la justicia.
01:14Por mi lado, por mí, por favor.
01:17Nacio, por favor.
01:20Ojo, por ojo.
01:22Por dientes, por dientes.
01:24¡Es sangre, es sangre!
01:28¡Es sangre, es sangre, es sangre!
01:33¡Es sangre, es sangre!
01:58El Grande Americano asking for more.
02:05Oh, no.
02:06Los Americanos, hermanos.
02:08The saga of El Grande Americano could prove to be a tragedy.
02:15Wait a second.
02:17¡Ay, Dios mío!
02:20Oh, it's Ojitos.
02:22What?
02:24Pimpinela.
02:27Oh.
02:28Wait a minute.
02:29What's she doing here?
02:30She was first.
02:32And Americano has been unleashed.
02:35There it is.
02:38The original Americano just lost everything.
02:43Understand this.
02:45I will always be the original El Grande Americano.
02:50Chad Gable.
02:52I'm looking you right in the eye and saying that from now on,
02:56you are the only El Grande Americano.
03:07This September, the biggest spectacle in Lucha Libre transforms into an unforgettable two-night event.
03:15This is Triple Mania.
03:17And now, Night One is live from the Luxor Theater in Las Vegas.
03:22Puffer your seatbelt.
03:23This is Lucha Libre at its best.
03:25While Night Two is live at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City.
03:29It's the first-ever two-night Triple Mania.
03:32Friday, September 11th, and Sunday, September 13th.
03:48Ladies and gentlemen, on the left is the controversial Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch,
03:53who promises to bring the woman on the right to the big time tonight.
03:56Becky Lynch and Sol Ruka for the Intercontinental Championship.
04:00Hey, WWE fans, you're not going to want to miss the new scary movie coming out only in theaters this
04:05Friday.
04:05All lines will be crossed.
04:06Get your tickets now.
04:19Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is Clash in Italy.
04:24We are in Turin tonight, the first-ever WWE Premium Live event in this country.
04:34You know, SummerSlam is coming to U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota, August 1st and 2nd.
04:39Two-day combo tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.
04:46I've been asked to introduce the new scary movie.
04:48A movie I'm not even in.
04:50Despite the fact I'm funny, dramatic, and I can cry on command.
04:56Just watch.
04:57Dude, are you crying?
04:58What? No. Just, there's a new scary movie coming out.
05:01What? Scary movie?
05:02Dude, I love scary movies.
05:04What's up?
05:05Okay, we got it.
05:07What's up?
05:08All right.
05:09What's going on here, dawg?
05:10Oh, there's a new scary movie coming out.
05:12What's up?
05:13What is up?
05:16What's up, Percy?
05:17What's up?
05:18What's up?
05:19Hey, we have MoCo. It's Marley Wayans.
05:21Yo, what's up, miss?
05:23What's that?
05:25What's up?
05:26What's up?
05:27What's up?
05:27What's up?
05:29Here we go.
05:31What's up?
05:34You're right over there.
05:36I used to love that.
05:41The following contest scheduled for one call is for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
05:50We and Cheb, introducing the challenger from Honolulu, the way, Sol Ruka.
05:59A biggest match of her career so far for Sol Ruka.
06:04The number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
06:08Corey, are nerves going to come into play?
06:10I fully expect them to.
06:12You don't come to a foreign country on a WWE PLE, the biggest platform you've experienced in your career, and
06:19step into the ring against one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time in Becky Lynch.
06:26Sol Ruka may have a world of talent to offer.
06:29I just don't know if she's ready for big-time Vex tonight.
06:32We're going to find out in a matter of moments.
06:36Hey, Chumbo Casino wants you ringside at SummerSlam.
06:40Scan the QR code on screen now for your chance to win a VIP experience 21 and over.
06:47Terms and conditions apply.
06:54Looking for her defining moment here.
07:00The man has come around!
07:23And her team from Dublin, Ireland, she is the women's Intercontinental Champion, the man, Becky Lynch!
07:40Corey, I need to question whether or not Becky Lynch is taking Sol Ruka lightly.
07:46Becky on vacation with her husband throughout the week in Italy, sending all kinds of photos and posts over social
07:51media,
07:52not seeming to sweat the fact that she has an Intercontinental Championship defense tonight against Ruka.
07:57The reality is Becky Lynch exists in rarefied air.
08:02This isn't any big deal for big-time Vex.
08:05This isn't something she hasn't experienced many times over.
08:09This could be said to be just another day at the office for Becky Lynch, a woman who headlined WrestleMania.
08:16There has been no moment too big for the man, and I don't expect it to start tonight.
08:22For Sol Ruka, it is her first match ever in Europe for Becky Lynch, her first career TV match here
08:28in the country of Italy.
08:30Becky Lynch, who has held the Intercontinental Championship longer than all the other superstars combined over the past couple of
08:38years,
08:40and I just have to be perfectly honest with you.
08:42I believe that the eyes tell the story of the Sol.
08:45We had Sol Ruka on the Countdown show earlier tonight, and the distance that you and I are apart from
08:52her,
08:52I had to look right in her eyes and ask her if she's willing to do whatever it takes to
08:56beat Becky Lynch.
08:57She said yes, but her eyes said otherwise.
09:01And it is interesting, the official in this match, none other than Jessica Kaur, the woman who Becky Lynch has
09:10had a problem with for the past year now.
09:13In fact, Becky caused all of this here tonight when she pulled Jessica in front of an attempted soul snatcher.
09:20When she attempted to pull Jessica out of harm's way.
09:23Becky explained that to me personally.
09:25Yeah, I'm sure she did, and that's one way to look at it.
09:27I'm sure you'll preach the propaganda here tonight as Becky Lynch is reading the riot act now to the official
09:32Jessica Kaur.
09:33It's not just me saying it, people are saying it all over the world.
09:36Yeah, you and Becky, and Becky went for a cheap shot on Sol Ruka, and Ruka now with a clothesline.
09:41And she's got Becky Lynch off balance early.
09:44What does Sol need to do to win the title?
09:45She needs to catch Becky Lynch off guard, which is easier said than done.
09:49But Sol does have an arsenal.
09:52Sol does have maneuvers that Lynch has never encountered before or rarely.
09:55Sol needs to stick with what brought her to the dance.
09:58Lynch trying to use the official as a shield.
10:00Sol Ruka, though, will make her pay.
10:02Face play at the Becky.
10:03What does Becky do to keep the title?
10:04Rely on her experience.
10:06Becky Lynch has experienced everything there is to experience inside of a WWE ring.
10:11Becky just needs to weather the storm, wait for her moment, and capitalize.
10:15It has been quite the seven months for Sol Ruka.
10:18Back in December, she beat Bayley at Saturday night's main event.
10:22And John Cena's last match here in WWE.
10:26Nice standing result by Ruka.
10:28Cover and a kick out by the champion.
10:30She also took the world champ, Liv Morgan, to the limit.
10:33She took Io Sky to the limit.
10:35And tonight hopes to knock off Becky Lynch.
10:37I agree with you.
10:38Sol did do those things.
10:39But as we say in this business, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
10:44Almost defeating Io Sky is not the same as owning a victory over her.
10:48Much like taking Becky Lynch to her limit is very different from being able to beat the man
10:52and take the Intercontinental Championship.
10:54Only four years in the wrestling business for Sol Ruka.
10:58Coming out of the University of Oregon as part of the NIL program at WWE.
11:03Lynch now will send Ruka over the ropes to the floor.
11:06For Sol Ruka, a former NXT North American champion.
11:08The only title she's held here in WWE.
11:12Becky Lynch now for the baseball slide.
11:14She's also concurrently a WWE Speed champion in NXT.
11:19And also finished third in this year's Royal Rumble match.
11:23And Becky now, Ruka able to sidestep the champion.
11:27Sol Ruka has to use her quickness and her tremendous balance and athletic ability
11:31to knock off Lynch here.
11:32Oh no!
11:34Oh, that is bad news there for Becky.
11:38Ruka able to avoid contact at the last possible second.
11:41Now perched on the top.
11:43Moonsault to Lynch!
11:44And the high flyer who I have compared to a young WWE Hall of Famer, Lita, Sol Ruka.
11:51Looking to get on the big stage here tonight.
11:54We'll get no disagreement from me.
11:57Case in point.
11:58Taking it high risk.
12:00Sol Ruka landing the moonsault to the floor.
12:03And one thing I will say, Corey, is it does not look like nerves have affected Ruka at all in
12:08the early going.
12:09Cover now on the champion.
12:10Hook to the leg.
12:11Going to kick out.
12:11Sol Ruka does possess that devil-may-care demeanor.
12:16She's never seems to be upset or particularly angry about anything.
12:20Well, Becky Lynch thought she sent Ruka into the turnbuckle.
12:23Sol was able to block.
12:24And now Sol Ruka.
12:25Roll up now.
12:25Becky Lynch shoulders down.
12:27She's got to kick it too.
12:27And this is where I'm talking about the experience.
12:30Sol Ruka didn't get her feet over the shoulders of Becky Lynch.
12:32That experience can make all the difference when you're dealing with championship-level talent like Becky Lynch.
12:38Went for the kick.
12:38Was intercepted.
12:39Then delivered a right hand.
12:40And now Becky Lynch.
12:41And there's that high-risk style that she'll sometimes come back to bite you.
12:44And it was just a matter of time.
12:46Becky has been waiting for that opportunity, knowing that's where Sol likes to live.
12:50Taking the high risks.
12:51Lynch weathered the storm.
12:53And then just turned the tides in her own favor.
12:55Yeah, the reason Becky's a seven-time world champion, three-time intercontinental champion.
13:01She's won a Royal Rumble in her career.
13:05And now Becky Lynch in control where she likes it.
13:10Said she was going to a horse Sol Ruka to respect her.
13:14I believe she's been disrespected for this woman who joined the Monday Night Raw roster a few weeks back from
13:19a successful career in NXT.
13:25And Sol showing some heart as she fights back against the champ.
13:28I'd like to see more of this from Sol Ruka.
13:31Plant your feet and throw hands.
13:32Turn this into a fight.
13:33We know that Sol is athletically blessed.
13:36But I'd like to see her get ugly for a moment when need be.
13:39And Becky Lynch now off the apron.
13:41Driving soul down.
13:43You'll see these two, among others, a part of Monday Night Raw, which comes your way from here on Turing
13:48tomorrow night.
13:51And what has been an incredible weekend here in WWE is Ruka has driven into the barricade.
13:58I just hope if Becky Lynch retains her Intercontinental Championship tonight that Adam Pearce has a massive celebration befitting of
14:05big-time Bex.
14:07I'm sure Pearce will allow that to happen, but Ruka sent back into the ring.
14:11And Becky now firmly in control, weathering the early storm of the challenger.
14:23It's taking an inordinate amount of time to gain her footing on the top rope.
14:27Will that be a factor?
14:28Nope, legs rot.
14:29Is it enough to retain?
14:31One, two, three.
14:32Ruka kicks out.
14:35And Becky again getting into Jessica Carr's face with a slow count.
14:41Becky Lynch delivering a picture-perfect leg drop that nearly took out Sol Ruka.
14:47I admire Jessica Carr as well.
14:50Why?
14:50Why?
14:51Because if there's a spotlight to be found, she finds it.
14:54So she gets in Becky Lynch's face to bask in Lynch's spotlight.
14:58Able to do her job, and Becky is constantly berating her was the point I was trying to make.
15:03Hey, Jessica Carr tried to jump in front of a soul snatcher.
15:06She wants to be Becky Lynch so bad.
15:08Okay, that's the way you look at it.
15:09Oh, a big uppercut by the man.
15:11The world according to Graves.
15:14And Becky with another uppercut.
15:16I'm running on caffeine and adrenaline, Michael Cole.
15:19You should come hang out here.
15:20It's nice.
15:21Now look at this now.
15:22Oh, with a right hand.
15:25Big uppercut answered by Lynch.
15:32It's a risky proposition for both of these women to trade uppercuts like that.
15:36One catches you under the chin.
15:38It lights out.
15:41And Becky now had the upper hand, but Sol Ruka with a well-placed kick, elbow, and then an uppercut
15:46to Becky.
15:50And Ruka.
15:51Now quickie Lynch here.
15:56The faster pace certainly does seem to benefit Sol Ruka to this point.
16:00Gervin suplex released by Ruka.
16:07Now Sol Ruka perched on the middle.
16:09And there's a pistol track kick.
16:11Good Lord.
16:12What impact.
16:13Nearly took Lynch's head off her shoulders.
16:15And a kip up by Ruka.
16:17Now Sol measuring her opponent.
16:19The champion with a running knee.
16:21Stacking up Becky.
16:22Trying to win the title.
16:23And a kick out at two in ear fall.
16:29Take another look at this drop kick that caught Becky Lynch right on the chin.
16:34It's almost miraculous that the champion was able to kick out.
16:37And Becky realizes she's in trouble.
16:40Rolls out of the ring.
16:41Try to catch her breath.
16:43Get back into this.
16:45And Sol Ruka may have Becky in the drop zone.
16:48Look at Becky though.
16:50Rolls back into the ring.
16:51And right into a kick from Ruka.
16:53A bit of a trap laid by Sol Ruka.
16:56Brilliantly done.
16:57Here it comes.
16:57The second rope for the Soul Snatcher.
16:59It got caught in the arm bar.
17:00Becky Lynch intercepting the Soul Snatcher into an arm bar.
17:04But Sol's got her hands together.
17:05Lynch trying to pry the fingers apart of Sol Ruka to finish executing the arm bar.
17:11Sol understands she's in trouble.
17:13Sol Ruka now trying to bridge out of this.
17:16It turns things around on Lynch.
17:18Well done.
17:19And Sol Ruka now.
17:22Crossface.
17:23Crossface sits in.
17:24And Becky's now in trouble.
17:26He needs to drag herself to the bottom rope.
17:29Come on, Becky.
17:33Is Becky going to tap out to the crossface?
17:37Come on, Becky.
17:41Lynch once again.
17:42Disarmor time.
17:45Can't quite get it locked in.
17:47So able to put in a pinion combination and a kick out at two.
17:52And Becky now.
17:53Waist lock drives Ruka.
17:55Jessica Carr had to get out of harm's way.
17:57Out of the rank.
17:58Covered out by Lynch.
17:59Here's the count.
18:00Ruka turns things around into a pinion combination of her own.
18:05And Becky with a kick to Ruka.
18:07I think this one should be over.
18:11And Becky Lynch may have the win here.
18:15And again, Sol gets the shoulder up.
18:17And maybe Becky's frustrated.
18:19Becky's got every right to be frustrated.
18:21She had Sol Ruka down in an opinion pitting position.
18:24And Jessica Carr jumped out of the dang ring.
18:26Oh, she jumped out of the ring to get out of harm's way.
18:28She got back into the ring quickly, just not in time.
18:32It was a two-down, not taking the track.
18:36Tell it like it is, Jess.
18:45And now looking for the manhandle slam.
18:47Ruka lands on her feet.
18:49And drives Becky back toward the corner.
18:52Sol has utilized that dropkick to great effect tonight.
18:58Ruka now launched out to the apron.
19:02Vicious rights by Becky Lynch.
19:06Sol retaliates.
19:08Bounced off the ring post.
19:11It might have been the turnbuckle strut.
19:14And now Becky.
19:15Solid steel underneath that thin black pad.
19:19Dragging Ruka up toward the top rope.
19:25Dangerous position here for both these women.
19:30I'm almost inclined to give the edge to Sol Ruka.
19:33The more sure-footed of the two athletes.
19:35Remember her gymnastics background.
19:37Sol Ruka incredibly comfortable in a situation like this.
19:40Launch herself.
19:41Face first goes Becky.
19:44Cover.
19:47That massive X-factor off the ropes.
19:49And Becky able to survive.
19:51That's not the fall from the top that hurts.
19:55It's a sudden stop at the end.
19:57Lynch driven face first into the canvas.
20:00But the champ not going down yet.
20:02And Sol has to focus here.
20:04Cannot get frustrated.
20:06Has Becky perhaps where she wants her.
20:10Sol now.
20:11Heading up to the top rope.
20:12Becky Lynch makes it back to her feet.
20:14And look at Lynch trying to drag Jessica Carr into harm's way.
20:17Now shoving her to the ropes force.
20:19It's Sol to lose her balance.
20:20What do you want, Cole?
20:22Becky didn't shove anybody.
20:24Oh, come on, Graves.
20:26Becky using the official again to create chaos in this match.
20:31And now a Superflex to Ruka.
20:37DDT.
20:38Ruka.
20:39Ruka on her feet.
20:41Sol was able to get her hands down to mitigate the impact on the DDT.
20:46And Super kicked the features off Lynch's face.
20:51Look at this.
20:53Tremendous defense.
20:55Relying on the athletic background.
20:57The gymnastics background.
20:59Ruka able to avoid disaster.
21:01And perhaps gain one final shot at dethroning the champion.
21:05That's what it's about.
21:06The women's intercontinental championship.
21:11WWE fans sold out.
21:13Over 12,000 here tonight have been vocal since the get-go.
21:17An electric atmosphere here in Italy.
21:24Sol Ruka firing up.
21:27Becky outside the ring.
21:28Ruka up and over.
21:30And just barely caught Becky.
21:32Barely is exactly right.
21:34The usually sure-footed Sol Ruka with the slightest misstep.
21:38She's lucky it didn't end worse.
21:40But Sol still has the ability to maintain her momentum here.
21:43And now Becky, the champion, back in the ring.
21:46Ruka.
21:48Launching herself.
21:50Off the top rope.
21:51Caught by Becky.
21:52Into a man-hands slam.
21:54Mistake made by the challenger.
21:55Cover.
21:56Ruka still in it.
22:00Sol Ruka trying to get a little cute there, Corey.
22:03And it almost cost her.
22:04You're exactly right.
22:05That extra moment, that extra fraction of a second to do the front flip off of the springboard
22:12gave Becky Lynch just enough time to adjust, to adapt, and deliver a man-handled slam.
22:23Becky begging the official to count faster.
22:27Ruka now trying to drag herself back up.
22:30Ruka now trying to drag herself back up.
22:30Becky into the corner.
22:31Becky.
22:32Is Becky looking for the soul snatcher?
22:33That's what it looks like.
22:34And Ruka able to counter into a man-handled slam.
22:38Stacks up the champion.
22:39And Becky almost got beat with her own move.
22:42Becky tried to get cute there.
22:46Let's take another look as the champion appeared to be attempting the soul snatcher.
22:52And perhaps you're right.
22:54Maybe Becky Lynch's ego got in the way in that instance.
22:57And then soul delivering Becky's own move to her.
23:01The man-handled slam.
23:06And Becky Lynch able to muscle up the challenger.
23:13Soul, though, rolls through.
23:16Back to her feet.
23:19Lynch now looking for a man-handled slam again.
23:21Ruka.
23:22Soul snatcher.
23:23Soul snatcher.
23:24From out of nowhere.
23:25Here's the corner.
23:26Soul is the Intercontinental Champion.
23:31Here is your winner.
23:34The new women's Intercontinental Champion.
23:40Soul Ruka.
23:44Soul Ruka shocks the world.
23:48Soul Ruka shocks Becky Lynch.
23:51Wins her first major championship.
23:54It's WWE.
24:04It's WWE.
24:05Here are the closing moments.
24:08Lynch once again attempting to man-handle slam.
24:11But the uber-athletic.
24:13Soul Ruka saw her opening.
24:15Took her shot.
24:16And did not miss.
24:19And knew.
24:21Soul Ruka.
24:22And knew.
24:24Stuck.
24:25The soul snatcher tonight.
24:27To knock off one of the all-time greats in Becky Lynch.
24:33I mean, what a career start.
24:35I mean, what a career start.
24:36A win over it, Bailey.
24:41Taking Liv Morgan and E.L.
24:43Sky to the limit.
24:45And tonight, knocking off the man, Becky Lynch.
24:54The biggest win in the young career of Soul Ruka.
25:08And again, Soul and Becky will be a part of Monday Night Raw tomorrow night, which gets
25:13underway on Netflix here in turn.
25:152 o'clock start time on the East Coast.
25:1711 o'clock on the West Coast of the United States.
25:198 o'clock local time.
25:21And having fun here in the crowd tonight.
25:23None other than the young OG, Javon Evans.
