00:00And the official in this impromptu tag team matchup,
00:04Chip Danning calls for the bell.
00:06Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton to take on Meachin and Jade Cargill tonight.
00:10Man, so many stories to talk about in this one.
00:14How is this happening?
00:15Charlotte and Tiffany teaming together out of nowhere.
00:19I mean, go back 12 months on the road to WrestleMania,
00:21they had more than a few choice words for one another.
00:24How about the fact Tiffany Stratton beat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania?
00:28Yeah, and what a gritty matchup that was.
00:31But they better get in line together pretty damn quick on this one or
00:35else they will end up like Alexa Bliss did last week,
00:38which is why Charlotte Flair technically doesn't have a regular tag partner with her.
00:43Hence the standing from Tiffany Stratton.
00:45Meachin sends Charlotte Flair across the ring showing off her talents.
00:49Really got a spotlight at Saturday night's main event a few weeks ago.
00:53Meachin is talented as they come, but she's in the ring for the 14 time.
00:57World champion Charlotte Flair.
01:01This is not how you wanna start things off if you are Meachin.
01:05But it is tough when Charlotte is in this kind of mood.
01:09Highly motivated by the fact that Meachin, Jade Cargill, and B-Fab took out Alexa Bliss
01:15last week with that steel chair.
01:17Next week on Friday night SmackDown is the final first round queen of the ring
01:24tournament fatal four way match.
01:25Charlotte Flair will be in that match with Jade Cargill, along with the Intercontinental
01:31Champion Sol Ruka and Lyra Valkyria.
01:33Meanwhile, the United States Champion Tiffany Stratton in off the tag,
01:37runs into a right hand by Meachin.
01:39Charlotte Flair, a rough moment there, perhaps saved a little by Tiffany Stratton,
01:44who's now looking to swing the tide back in their favor.
01:47And Tiffany Stratton now, right to the back of the neck of Meachin, and a basement drop kick
01:51by Stratton, cover now, hook of the leg, and a kick out.
01:54Of course, Jade Cargill looking to go back to back in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
01:58She won last year, right to repeat.
02:03God, that was perfect timing there from Tiffany Stratton, right to the kisser of Meachin.
02:08But look at the power of Jade Cargill.
02:11Yeah, Cargill with a fall away slam to Tiffany Stratton.
02:14And talk about having someone's number, Jade Cargill has had Tiffany Stratton's number,
02:19including at Saturday night's main event last November, when she won the WWE Women's Championship.
02:24What a spinebuster, cover now by Cargill.
02:27The win by Cargill stopped a massive winning streak by Tiffany Stratton.
02:31And that almost lasted the full year.
02:33It was a huge part of the ascent of Jade Cargill to the very top of this industry.
02:38And she's really not looked back ever since.
02:41And she still sees herself as the top woman, despite the fact that the gold now, of course,
02:46held by Rhea Ripley.
02:48Tiffany Stratton was on a major roll, ran into a rough patch at the Crown Jewel in Australia
02:53last year.
02:54And then, of course, Jade Cargill capitalizing on that with a win at Saturday night's main event.
02:58Yeah, here's what happens when you get to the very top.
03:01You got a little- Oh!
03:02Like Tiffany Stratton did.
03:04Someone like Jade Cargill's gonna exploit that weakness.
03:07Charlotte, top rope, cross body.
03:09I'll tell you what, right now there's some real chemistry brewing here between Charlotte Flair
03:14and Tiffany Stratton.
03:15And I did not think I'd be saying that a few moments ago.
03:19That's about taking out your enemy, right?
03:21I mean, Charlotte Flair pretty much hates every woman in the locker room except, of course, for Alexa Bliss.
03:28And let's not forget what happened to Charlotte Flair after Clash in Italy went off the air last week.
03:34She was attacked during the post show by Jade Cargill.
03:38So there's bad blood brewing between those two.
03:42Love to see that matchup down the road, Charlotte and Cargill going at it.
03:47Taste of that tonight and another taste of it next week in that Queen of the Ring first round matchup,
03:53of course, also involving Sol Ruka and Lyra Valkyrie.
03:57Charlotte Flair taking out everybody.
04:05But don't turn your back on Mnichon.
04:09Everybody down.
04:25Now Mnichon into a cover now on Charlotte.
04:28This would mean for Mnichon's career if she could knock off the 14 time world champion.
04:33So I like the fact that you brought that up about Mnichon because Mnichon over the past couple of months
04:38really has been pulling out all the stops to make sure this huge opportunity of teaming alongside Cargill
04:44and, of course, the additional spotlight it brings to Mnichon pays off for her own career.
04:51She's not just here to play backup to Jade Cargill.
04:54She certainly wants opportunities for herself, but doing both at the same time.
04:58You know, the veteran Mnichon drawing the official now under the cover, hook of the leg,
05:02and by taking the official with her, it allowed Jade Cargill to get involved.
05:07Yeah, I think a lot of eyes have been open to the abilities of Mnichon over the past several weeks.
05:11It hasn't been a surprise to a lot of us behind the scenes in this industry,
05:15but she's finally now getting that opportunity to show what she can do against the top women,
05:20and damn, it's been impressive.
05:21And now Jade Cargill going to work on Charlotte Flair.
05:25I'll tell you, we have watched the maturation process of Jade Cargill
05:29before our eyes over the past number of months.
05:32I believe she had the best match that she's ever had in WWE despite the loss to Rhea on Sunday.
05:37Yeah, well, let's talk about Jade.
05:38The fact that she came into WWE really- Covered now by Cargill.
05:42Charlotte kicks out.
05:43At least initially as a tag specialist alongside Bianca Belair and has continued growing from there
05:49and really has reached peak form now.
05:51And again, another cover and a kick out.
05:53She's become much more fluid in the ring.
05:56She's always been confident, borderline cocky, some would say.
05:59But Jade Cargill is putting it all together now,
06:02which means she is going to be more dangerous than she ever has been before.
06:07An incredible athlete, a boatload of charisma.
06:10Charlotte Flair now, and that's where to hurt Cargill sometimes.
06:13She starts to globe and it almost cost her.
06:15Yeah, it gets a little too cocky and- Cover again and Charlotte kicks out.
06:19You can hardly blame Jade Cargill when she has the athletic gifts that she has,
06:24when she looks the way she looks.
06:26I think a sense of arrogance is almost inevitable.
06:30Because you quite simply seem better than everybody else in that locker room,
06:35at least on the face of things.
06:48Charlotte Flair needs to make a tag to her partner, the United States Champion Tiffany Stratton.
06:53Charlotte has been worn down by Jade Cargill and the woman in the ring right now.
06:57The former Impact Knockouts Champion, Meechan, who's been dominating throughout this.
07:02Yeah, perhaps the most hardcore woman in the entire locker room in WWE is Meechan.
07:07Oh!
07:08Of a job, but you better be double tough now because the race is on.
07:13If Charlotte gets this tag to a fresh Tiffany, the game changes.
07:18Meechan trying to make sure Charlotte doesn't get to the corner.
07:22Charlotte trying to fight back with a well-placed forearm.
07:25This is the ultimate tug of war now, you don't wanna be on the losing end.
07:29And unfortunately for Charlotte, it was her, but a swing on Cargill,
07:33and the opportunity may still be alive.
07:35And again, Meechan with the official, Jade with a cheap shot,
07:40and Meechan with Charlotte up, looking to pay homage to her former mentor, her running buddy.
07:44None other than AJ Styles, with a Styles Clash, shoulders down.
07:50And Tiffany Stratton breaks things up.
07:53And Tiffany had to be there for that, because that was over.
07:56Even someone as tough as Charlotte Flair, I don't think was kicking out after that move,
08:01which was executed perfectly by Meechan.
08:04Meechan and Taekwondo, Muay Thai background, submission specialist.
08:09She's a striker as well.
08:11Here we go, Cole, look at this.
08:13This cannot be happening.
08:15A figure four here on Charlotte, but Charlotte able to roll her up.
08:19Yeah, Charlotte will take a lot of abuse, but you're not putting me in my own move,
08:23or my father's move, that is for sure.
08:26And Meechan now, nobody home, post.
08:29Shoulder to the post for Meechan, Charlotte's got an opportunity.
08:33And now Meechan is just hung up to dry.
08:36It's Tempe time in Bologna.
08:40And the Women's United States Champion, going to work on Meechan, what a back elbow.
08:47And completely rocked now is Meechan, who moments ago was in control of the match,
08:51and how quickly it swung around.
08:53Stratton, with Meechan up and down with the Alabama slam.
09:01Tiffany fired up B-Fab, trying to shout encouragement to Meechan.
09:06Dragging the body of Meechan into the drop zone, not where you wanna be.
09:11Tiffany up top.
09:14Swan tied by Stratton, cover.
09:19And a kick out at two by Meechan.
09:21May have just crushed the ribs of Meechan, who's checking her mouth right now,
09:26in case she's coughing up blood, I suspect.
09:28But what a bullseye drop there from Tiffany Stratton.
09:33Not quite enough to put away Meechan, but looking really groggy on her feet now.
09:38Meechan now, nice Pelé kick again, shades of AJ Styles as she drags herself to the corner,
09:44looking to make a tag to Cargill.
09:46And she does, and here comes the storm.
09:48Jade Cargill, who I mentioned has had Tiffany Stratton's number.
09:52What a stutter by Stratton.
09:54Here's the cover, is it enough?
09:55Hook to the leg, will it be?
09:57No, Meechan breaks it up.
09:58Well, Meechan pinpoint timing once again, amazing levels of recovery.
10:02But both women having the same idea, may have just had a double KO between
10:07Charlotte and Meechan.
10:09And now Tiffany and Jade, exchanging blues as they make it back to their feet in the center of the
10:14ring.
10:18And now Tiffany, looking for the upper hand.
10:22Jade Cargill though, wow, what a sit-out powerbomb.
10:26Here's the cover, is it enough to put her away?
10:29There's that overwhelming level of strength and coordination from Jade Cargill again,
10:34stopping Tiffany in her tracks.
10:36Very few women are capable of pulling off something like this.
10:40There's nobody quite like Jade Cargill.
10:42Charlotte wants a tag, trying to fire up Stratton.
10:45Tiffany fingertips away, and Meechan dragging Charlotte off the apron.
10:49And now Meechan driven into the post.
10:52Head first into that post, and wait a second behind the referee's back, B-Fab involved.
10:58And Tiffany Stratton saw that happen, he couldn't do nothing about it.
11:01And Jade Cargill pump kick, and she's got Stratton where she wants her.
11:06Cargill, Tiffany Stratton though, counters Jaden into a cover and a kick out.
11:12Great counter by Tiffany.
11:13Well, we almost got a mug in there, but maybe Tiffany can steal this.
11:16And Stratton puts her in position, Jade Cargill quickly back to her feet.
11:22Shoving Stratton off the top rope as she went for the prettiest moonsault ever.
11:26And now Cargill with Stratton up and down.
11:28Jaden, no counter this time.
11:30One, two, one.
11:31Cargill continues to dominate Tiffany Stratton.
11:36Here are your winners, Meechan and Jade Cargill.
11:41Oh man, well the boos can ring out all they want.
11:45I was so impressed by the speed and presence of mind of Jade Cargill there.
11:51Just when the chips were down, connecting here.
11:55And Tiffany Stratton, we've seen it a million times.
11:57Prius moonsault ever denied by that pace of Cargill.
12:01Just the right move at the right time, pulls off Jaden.
12:05Wow, Jade Cargill back to her very best.
12:09Coming off that loss, a clash in Italy.
12:12Yeah, I'll tell you, big win for Cargill tonight after Sunday.
12:14But how impressive were Meechan and Jade Cargill tonight against two of the best.
12:19The 14-time world champion Charlotte Flair.
12:21The current United States champion, Jade pinned.
12:24Jade pinned the United States champion.
