02:34that is about as agitated as i've ever seen the ring general good luck nick olis
02:41and her opponent from san jose california bailey this is the queen of the ring tournament first
02:51round matchup fatal four-way to determine who advances to the semi-finals winner of this matchup
03:00faces eo sky from monday night raw in the semi-finals she won this past monday in her fatal four
03:07-way
03:07bailey who has won about everything there is to win in this game but gets an opportunity to add
03:13one more thing to the mantelpiece namely that queen of the ring crown yeah i spoke to bailey about that
03:18earlier today tell you that story in just a few moments
03:47and their opponent accompanied by fallon henley and lady reed representing fatal influence jc jane
04:01well much like raquel rodriguez it appears that jc jane will go but alone in this matchup
04:06here tonight we are joined at ringside by our italian announcers michele posa and luca francy
04:31why didn't we think of waving like that go on michael cole you're the expert translate what they just
04:37said please no idea all right i can translate this you're looking at a future women's champion
04:42here on friday night smackdown oh yes and you know what michael cole should things go well in the queen
04:47of the ring tournament that moment could come at the main event of summer slam for jc jane of course
04:55the winner of the queen of the ring tournament gets their opportunity at gold this summer
05:01the finals of the queen of the queen of the ring will take place three weeks from tomorrow
05:05at night of champions in rion
05:14and there accompanied by julia grossoot city iowa kiana james
05:34well apparently wade uh kiana james is not going to follow suit uh she is bringing julia to the ring
05:42with her tonight interesting considering that fatal four-way rules are the first woman to gain
05:47pinfall or submission wins and there are no countouts or disqualification well kiana james is undoubtedly a
05:55mega brain and that is about the smartest move that anyone has pulled off thus far tonight on
06:00smackdown bring a little assistance to the ring with you to reinforce your opportunities of winning
06:08this match and progressing through to that semi-final against neo sky maybe julia should have had the same
06:14strategy monday night on raw when she was involved in the fatal four-way kiana james is not out at
06:18ringside
06:19julia would not advance in that matchup won by io sky here's what you do in this game you learn
06:25from
06:25mistakes and clearly kiana james has learned from the mistakes of julia and has now looked to go one
06:31better than julia with progress this evening one of these four women will advance in this tournament
06:36looking to join three women who have made history over the past few years alina vega naya jacks and jade
06:43cargill who is the defending queen of the ring tournament winner
06:51the referee in this matchup daphne lashawn rings the bell and we are underway i spoke to bailey
06:56earlier today and she talked a lot about what you mentioned earlier wade the fact that uh one of the
07:01few things she hasn't accomplished in her career is winning the queen of the ring tournament
07:08she said that uh she still has her her mind trying to win the women's tag team titles uh with
07:13her
07:14partner lyra valkyrie who's also in this tournament but bailey said she'd love to win this and get to
07:19summer slam and battle for a world title well the strategy right off the bat is obvious three women
07:25looking to attack the powerhouse raquel very early on and take her down she clearly seen as the
07:32big threat in this match well it's great strategy we saw this early on in the matchup on monday night
07:38raw that involved oba femi the other three competitors trying to do the same thing to oba
07:42and now raquel's been taken out of the equation at least momentarily
07:46and bailey with a back elbow to jc jane sends kiana james outside to the apron well bailey the big
07:53veteran in this one looking to belly to belly quickly out of the box looking for a quick win here
07:59and a kick out by jane at two bailey almost stole one quickly
08:08clearly the fan favorite tonight is bailey looking to crush the confidence of the three
08:13other women in this matchup in the early goings and once again taking down raquel and again raquel
08:18rodriguez down outside the ring as wade mentioned kiana james from behind roll up a bailey and a kick
08:23out kiana james who i've said on a number of occasions jackknife cover now by bailey in a kick out
08:28i
08:28believe kiana one of the most underrated superstars on the rosters today well there's no doubt about
08:33that and there have been some connections between kiana james and julia but that all appears to be
08:39smoothed over now look at this double stacked that time by jc jane who almost stole one jc jane's taking
08:47on some of the best since arriving on smackdown including the likes of charlotte and ria bloody
08:52ripley picking up some major wings great leapfrog by kiana bailey rolls through it right into a right
08:58and a right by kiana bailey back into the mix and here's raquel rodriguez with a cross body wiping
09:06everybody out and that's why raquel rodriguez i believe is the favorite here tonight
09:22and now raquel rodriguez dominating stomping away in the corner yeah this was always going to be the
09:27likelihood in this match at some point raquel would get the upper hand and what we're seeing now
09:33was inevitably going to ensue and raquel rodriguez slowing down the pace using her power one of the
09:41reasons that live morgan has relied on her throughout much of her reign as champion in judgment day
09:49looking to make up for roxanne losing out in her queen of the ring first round match this past monday
09:54on
09:54raw you were ringside for that one and that did not go well with the judgment day yeah roxanne perez
10:00did
10:00not advance lip morgan's in the tournament as well as bailey's taking the fight to raquel
10:05bailey for multiple time women's champion whipped into the corner yeah one way to separate a shoulder
10:12right there bailey might never be the same again after that impact from raquel and raquel is just
10:18running riot now and nobody can stop
10:25Raquel rodriguez with elbow after elbow dropping jc jane in the corner and he out of james is going
10:31to try her fair and you just sense that that early three on one attack against raquel has simply
10:36cover raquel up and belly saves the matchup breaking up the near fall
10:47you've basically got three women playing defense against raquel now and nothing they are trying
10:52seems to be working and rodriguez gonna you send kiata james into the corner snake eyes off the top
11:00turnbuckle now jc sent outside the ring and raquel and bailey and raquel sent over the top rope to the
11:07floor
11:09and bailey ripped out of the ring as we want to remind everyone that tomorrow at the
11:15bournemouth international center oh two of cruiserweight boxing's most dangerous men collide
11:20hometown hero oh chris the gentleman bill and smith puts his world titles ambitions on the line
11:28against canadian wrecking machine ryan the bruiser riziki oh jc with a right hand
11:45what a fatal four-way matchup to determine who heads the semi-finals of the queen of the ring
11:51tournament but it has basically been the raquel show for the past several minutes but the tide may be
11:57turning bailey driving raquel shoulder first to the steps and that's what bailey and kiana
12:04and jc jane had to do they had to turn and turn this into a triple threat because raquel was
12:10just
12:11tearing everyone apart and jc jane the former nxt champ may be about to capitalize and win this thing
12:19the woman that booker t dubbed a rock star is in control now former tag team champion as well
12:25nice neck breaker by jane into the cover hooks the leg of bailey now who kicks out how impressive
12:33has jc jane been since arriving on smackdown complete confidence complete assuredness since day one let's
12:41not forget all of fatal influence helen henley and laney reed as well it's jc jane now with the kicks
12:48to
12:48the midsection of bailey jc manipulative opportunistic fatal influence are here to take over the entire
12:57brand here on smackdown and only a fool would bet against them doing so now snapmare by jc kick right
13:06to the spine of the veteran bailey kick to the face jc now with a senton is it enough hooks
13:12the leg of bailey
13:12pinning combination in a near fall again bailey's taking a hell of a lot of punishment in this one
13:18is starting to really struggling with the other women down jc jane picking up the pedal but kiana james now
13:25as jc was over there arguing with the official kiana james knocked down by jane
13:32again julia out here at ringside in support of kiana james
13:38i just admire that swaggering confidence of jc jane and against a woman kiana james she knows very
13:45well indeed cross pass many times in nxt and clearly kiana has a trick or two up her sleeve
13:52the leader of fatal influence and indeed bailey yeah tremendous athlete is kiana james but she goes
13:58shoulder first to the post that rolling cannonball that time by jc j into the other corner real nice
14:04turn of speed there from jc j my god oh raquel rodriguez with a massive shoulder tackle sending
14:11jc across the ring bailey now look for that sunset flip bomb and raquel rodriguez drives both women
14:18into the corner bailey just lost grip at the wrong moment there if kiana is now paying the price and
14:23there's that corkscrew splash by raquel covering both women and a kick out oh what a statement that
14:31would have been pure dominance from raquel
14:39you'd had to believe wade it was just a matter of time before raquel rodriguez took control of this
14:45match yeah this is the second time she's really gained some momentum you get raquel down for a window
14:50you have to maximize it and win the match because you know full well raquel ain't gonna stay down for
14:56long raquel has come so close in the past and winning a world championship the best way to get
15:03another opportunity win the queen of the ring tournament and head to summerslam to battle for
15:08a world title oh could you imagine both world titles being inside the judgment day clubhouse what a
15:14spectacle that was so you're saying if raquel wins she wouldn't go after liv of course she would
15:19go after rio ripley or whoever else have the wwe women's championship box and now barely the long
15:27ways to go before we get there for raquel but that's starting to inch nearer and nearer raquel rodriguez is
15:34just tossing bodies around look at this cole double chokeslam by rodriguez again gonna try to pin both women
15:42kiana james launches herself over the top rope to break things up all four women down who's advancing to
15:50the queen of the ring tournament semi-finals
16:03wait right here we're at a critical point in this matchup who is going to build momentum remember it's
16:09first one of the game pinfall or submission to pick up the win yeah this is where champions are
16:15made this is that crunch time everybody in that ring is hurting right now who can block it out the
16:21most and focus on the prize which is progress towards the semi-final of the queen of the ring
16:28tournament i do want to go back to a point you made moments ago you're saying if raquel wins this
16:31tournament that she's automatically going to go after the wwe women's champion from friday night
16:36smackdown maybe she wants to prove that she's the leader of the judgment day maybe she's going to
16:40take on lip morgan yeah i'm not surprised that you're trying to stir the part you know the last
16:44person who did that in the judgment day finn balor look at him now look what happened to
16:50damian priest look what happened to rhea bloody ripley attitudes like that do not belong inside the
16:56judgment day clubhouse they get booted out real fast so watch your mouth michael cole and now jc
17:01jane looking for a sleeper on raquel rodriguez how impressive has jc been in this match tonight but
17:06she's slung to the map yeah it's a huge mountain to climb to drop now just such overwhelming force
17:14coming back in the other direction and now the veteran mouse of bailey picking her spots and looking
17:20for a weak spot on the massive rakal beating up this crowd here tonight malonia italy
17:29and bailey taking out jc jane kick to the face by bailey up to the second rope now
17:36bailey with an elbow to the back of raquel cover is it enough for the win rodriguez powers out at
17:44two
17:45very competitive matchup here tonight yeah i like what i'm seeing from baby she spent the last several
17:50years backing up some newcomers here on smackdown and raw but now looking to extend and progress her own
17:56career nice back suplex by bailey raquel rodriguez by the way the only woman in this match that has
18:02any type of oh experience in the queen of the ring tournament bailey now stacks up jc jane grabs the
18:10bottom rope and kicks out at the same time
18:25kiana james into a cover on bailey and a kick out oh it's crunch time now believe me this one
18:32could end in
18:33a blink of an eye all four women are severely weakened and raquel looking to maximize damage oh
18:39wow and there's the quickness of james but she runs into a clothesline cover now hook of the leg jc
18:45jane
18:45with a running knee breaks things up well there's nice movement from kiana james you duck one you
18:50duck two but you get caught by the third from raquel raquel is just so well rounded but drop for
18:56now
18:56and jc jane could steal this yeah could this be jc's opportunity now it has to be with raquel down
19:03once again now ladies and that could be a ko blow to the side of the jaw of jc jane
19:10if that wasn't
19:11what comes next could well be well-placed knee from bailey who heads up to the top rope now
19:18and bailey with her vintage elbow connects isn't enough to advance to the queen of the ring
19:24kiana james breaks it up at two and a half now i count kiana james breaking up pins on three
19:30separate occasions that is incredibly smart once again to the relative newcomer to smackdown who
19:36continues to impress and i wouldn't be surprised if she pulls out a victory here yeah you mentioned how
19:42smart kiana james is tremendous ring awareness roll up a bailey bailey though able to roll through oh
19:47kiana caught her kiana caught her with that deal breaker the deal breaker to the face and now
19:53a standing move salt by james cover now on bailey is it enough and bailey kicks out at two
19:59tell you right now kiana james really can't do it all in the ring high flying power moves technical
20:06moves and wait a second julia getting side swiped there by jc and kiana james did not like that went
20:13to the defense of julia bailey now last jc kiana james roll up isn't up looking using the ropes for
20:19leverage now that it would not be a disqualification but it would give kiana james an opportunity but
20:24wait a second
20:28why would you do that
20:31kiana she didn't do it
20:32i was about to win
20:38well it was jc jane who threw the legs off the ropes but clearly kiana
20:42rose plant julia rose plant by bailey rolling encore big boot by raquel
20:52well this has got mercy in a hurry to hana bomb cover by rodriguez
21:03here is your winner raquel rodriguez
21:08well that was an interesting turn of events there bailey hit the flatliner jc jane with the rolling
21:14encore raquel rodriguez with the tahana bomb but the story is what happened outside the ring
21:21jc jane is the one who got in the middle of things kiana thought it was julia well here's where
21:26it all went
21:27down this is a inadvertent collision between bailey and now it's kiana j's feet on the ropes jc j
21:33knocks them off gets shoved out the way and by the time kiana turns around she now believes her
21:39partner in crime julia is the one who knocked the feet off the ropes as she's losing her mind
21:45raquel is cleaning house and ultimately it's kiana who suffers the worst with a tihana bomb
21:53seeing raquel progress to the semi-finals and raquel rodriguez will now face eo sky in the semi-finals of
22:01the queen of the ring tournament as we take a look at the bracket rodriguez and sky advancing to the
22:06semi-finals our other fatal four ways coming up next week on monday night raw and friday night
22:11smackdown preview matchup right there at night of champions and there's the woman who sees
22:17everything sparkling in her future her future namely being that crown for the queen of the ring
22:23tournaments and hey from smoothing over to be done now
22:58i was going to win
23:00I do everything for you, it's never about me, ever.
23:05We're done, you, you're done, and you're going to be without saying,
23:12without saying, okay, I'm gonna focus on you, it's over here.
23:15And Julia's heard enough, Keanu James said they're done, and Julia's heard enough
23:20after being embarrassed by James here.
23:22Well, Keanu's been in the shadow of James and she's finally lost it, and yeah,
23:27that relationship is firmly over.
23:30Keanu James claiming she's been in the shadow of Julia through all of this,
23:34and she's had enough.
23:57Where is he?
23:57Where is he?
24:00There you are.
24:01He's looking everywhere for you.
24:04Do you see what happens?
24:06Do you see what happens every time everyone said I was the bad guy because,
24:09I watched Cody get choked out, put to sleep, and I didn't do anything about it.
24:13Well, what just happened?
24:14This time I did something about it.
24:16I did what I usually and always do.
24:18I did the right thing.
24:20And what happens?
24:21Cody still finds a way to drop me, to leave me laying.
24:25And once again, guys like us get the short end of the stick.
24:31And now Nick Aldis wants to talk to me.
24:34What does he want to talk to me about?
24:35There he is.
24:36Hey, Nick, you want to see me?
24:40Yes, I did, and I'll keep it short and sweet, Sammy.
24:43Stay out of Cody and Gunther's business.
24:47Stay out of their business.
24:49They made their business my business, Nick.
24:52What are you talking about?
24:53Sammy, you took a bad situation and you made it worse.
24:55How did I make it worse, Nick?
24:57You're asking me to stand down to not defend myself?
25:00I never see you ask anybody to do that.
25:02Look, Sammy, frankly, I don't have time for this right now because I have an important meeting.
25:06Once again, I'm getting blown off.
25:08You have all the time in the world for everyone else.
25:10You can't give me a minute.
25:11Who is so important?
25:12Who do you have to talk to that is so important that I can't get one minute?
25:17Well, if you must not.
25:31Sammy, we'll go ahead and put a pin in this for another time.
25:34Chad, thank you for coming.
25:42We'll wait off mask versus.
