00:06A storm is coming.
00:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Women's United States Championship.
00:44Introduced in first, the challenger, from Barrow Beach, Florida, Jane Cardgill!
00:54The storm has come, and she wants the United States Championship.
01:30WWE is coming back to Atlanta with a special edition Sunday night's main event, Sunday, September 6th at State Farm
01:39Arena.
01:40Tickets are on sale now only via Ticketmaster.
01:45We're about to see another rivalry renewed, this time with the United States gold on the line.
01:53Will Jade Cardgill fare any better as challenger than Ricky Saints did in our Men's United States title match?
02:03It's tippy time!
02:11It's tippy time!
02:26And her opponent, from Pryor Lake, Minnesota, G8, the Women's United States Champion, Tiffany Tratton!
02:38Again, these two met in a number of matches, both singles and tag teams, late last year.
02:45Two of the highlights, Corey, SummerSlam, the night that Tiffany Tratton retained her WWE Championship against Jade Cardgill,
02:53who was then the reigning queen of the ring.
02:56But in early November, Saturday night's main event, Jade Cardgill would get revenge,
03:01the night that she ended a nearly year-long title reign for Tiffany Tratton when Jade became the WWE Champion.
03:08And that night is still very fresh in the mind of Jade Cardgill,
03:12which explains Cardgill's relaxed demeanor prior to this matchup.
03:17Jade feels like she's already done the research, she's put in the work.
03:22Tonight, it's just time to cash in and go home with the United States Championship.
03:33It's going to be an interesting contrast of styles in this one.
03:36Cardgill, no doubt, with the power advantage.
03:39Tiffany Tratton, the aerial ability could be her best bet.
03:43And a basement dropkick by Tiffany Tratton to start things off in this matchup for the United States Championship.
03:50And Tiffany Tratton, sweet move, takes down Jade into a pinning combination and a kick out.
03:56Uh-oh. Caught in the clutches of the Storm.
03:58Looking for a choke slam, and Tiffany standing switched by Jade.
04:02And Stratton runs into a right hand.
04:04If you're Tiffany, how do you... Uh-oh! Look at this!
04:08Lifting Tiffany up!
04:10And Stratton landed on her feet.
04:14It looked like a Jade was going for that Eye of the Storm move, and Tiffany able to counter!
04:18And now right to the back of the neck of Cardgill.
04:21But you were about to ask me if you're Tiffany Stratton, what do you have to do in this matchup
04:25to retain the goal?
04:26Uh-oh! Caught by Jade!
04:28Stay away from her power, right?
04:30Exactly!
04:33Cardgill with a knee right to the face of the champion.
04:38And the onus is actually on Tiffany Stratton tonight to throw Jade Cardgill off of her game.
04:43Jade is a Terminator in a sense that she knows what she wants to do, and she has the physical
04:48ability to just do it.
04:49She doesn't necessarily have the timing.
04:51She doesn't have the nuance of a lot of superstars.
04:54She just has raw physical ability.
04:56Just like that, the sit-out powerbomb.
04:58Cover now on Stratton, who kicks out.
05:01Stratton's going to want to rely a little bit more on her technique, on her aerial abilities.
05:05Show Jade something that perhaps Jade hasn't seen before.
05:08And remember, unlike what we're going to see in a few moments in our main event, Tiffany has a champion's
05:13advantage in this match.
05:14Jade has to pin her or submit her to win the title.
05:17Countouts, disqualifications don't matter.
05:19And I'm sure Cardgill is fully aware of that scenario.
05:25And this is smart.
05:27This is a good pace for Jade Cardgill.
05:28She's not going to get ahead of herself.
05:30But let's be honest, Stratton, while lacking a great deal of experience in her own right, still has an advantage
05:35over Jade Cardgill in this game.
05:37Stratton's had a lot more experience in the ring.
05:40Jade's sticking to what she needs to do, what she's comfortable doing, and it's working out very well so far.
05:45Tiffany Stratton, who won the gold back at the end of April by defeating Julia.
05:50And now Jade Cardgill showing off push-ups in the face of the champ.
06:03What does that do to you psychologically when you're watching that?
06:07It crushes you to be physically beaten down and have your opponent doing push-ups to mock you.
06:13Oh, black hole slam!
06:15And here it is!
06:16And Tiffany just got the shoulder up.
06:20Take a look at this.
06:22Cardgill ripping Tiffany Stratton out of midair, driving her down with that spinning sidewalk slam.
06:29We've talked about this a lot, Corey, but it is so much fun to watch the maturation process of Cardgill
06:35in the ring over the past year.
06:37I agree, and I think going back to WrestleMania against Rhea Ripley, even though Cardgill lost the WWE Women's Championship,
06:43might have been Jade's most complete performance from start to finish.
06:47And that can actually be a good thing for a superstar's career, a confidence builder.
06:51Tiffany trying to go toe-to-toe with Cardgill.
06:53You're not going to outpower Jade.
06:55You've got to outsmart her in this matchup.
06:57Although even in the wake of WrestleMania, Jade Cardgill still refused to acknowledge that Rhea defeated her.
07:03Jade claims she defeated herself.
07:08And now Tiffany, and oh!
07:10Nice dropkick, creates a little separation.
07:13And Tiffany Stratton driving Cardgill to the corner.
07:16And now Tiffany with an opportunity.
07:18I'm not entirely certain, but I think the knee of Cardgill might have knocked a tooth loose from the champion.
07:24And Jade just catching Tiffany.
07:26Uh-oh, here it comes!
07:27Here we go!
07:28Tiffany, though, reverses Jaded.
07:31And there's a basement dropkick by Stratton.
07:34Cover now, hook to the leg on Cardgill.
07:36And a kick out by Jade at two.
07:41He sees some frustration at the moment on the face of the champion, Tiffany Stratton.
07:47Is this the pace you expected here?
07:49From Jade Cardgill, yes.
07:51I know Tiffany Stratton would feel a little more comfortable pushing the pace just a hair.
07:55But this is exactly where Cardgill wants it.
07:59And again, Tiffany wanted that unique way to get into the Alabama Slam.
08:03And this time, Jade, though, sent into the top turnbuckle.
08:07And kudos to Cardgill for utilizing her power to thwart Stratton's attempt for the moment.
08:12And a rolling senton by Tiffany.
08:14Puts Jade in position for Tiffany's...
08:17Oh, and she got the knees up!
08:19Prettiest moonsault ever!
08:20But Jade able to counter!
08:24Cardgill had it scouted!
08:27Oh, and turning things around!
08:29Here is the cover!
08:30Is it enough?
08:32Sandstorm almost put her away!
08:37This is where Jade Cardgill can't allow herself to become frustrated.
08:41She's in the driver's seat at the moment.
08:43But that can easily change if she gets overconfident or relents for even a moment.
08:50Oh!
08:50Again, another great counter by Stratton.
08:57Big right from Stratton and the champ building up steam.
09:01Cardgill, though, catches her midair.
09:04Up on her shoulder, Tiffany.
09:06Cruzevix driver takes down Cardgill.
09:08Now the shoulders are down.
09:10The official, Daphne LaShawn, in perfect position there.
09:13And Jade is so strong that even on the way down, she was able to break her own fall.
09:17She was able to mitigate the momentum.
09:19And you could see Stratton had trouble finishing the pinfall attempt.
09:22That could be the only reason this match is still rolling.
09:24I'm extremely impressed with Stratton tonight.
09:27She's had a counter for just about everything from Cardgill.
09:30Oh, wait a minute.
09:30Oh, look at this B-Fab out here!
09:33And there is a Meechan, the minions of Cardgill.
09:37Baddies, Cole!
09:38And now Jade looking to take advantage with a choke slam for the championship!
09:44Tiffany got the shoulder up!
09:49B-Fab now drawing our officials' attention yet again.
09:53Chelsea Green!
09:55Chelsea's here!
09:56Chelsea coming to the end!
09:58And Tiffany!
09:58Diamond meets it into the steps!
10:02Oh, and B-Fab into the podium holding the title!
10:08Chelsea Green from under the ring!
10:11Chelsea knows all about how much that piece of gold means!
10:16Former United States champion!
10:19Oh, look at Tiffany from behind rolling up Cardgill here!
10:22Jade kicks out!
10:24Pump kick!
10:27And now Jade going to get her some of Chelsea!
10:31Dragging Chelsea into the ring!
10:33Sends her to the corner!
10:34Come on, Jade!
10:35I have time!
10:39I didn't even need to do it!
10:40I didn't even need to do it!
10:41I got it!
10:42I got it!
10:43I got it!
10:43I got it!
10:43Cargill's fury getting the best of her!
10:51And now Jade looking to use that help!
10:53Charlotte!
10:54Charlotte Flair!
10:59And the title off the face of Cardgill!
11:02Tiffany Stratton in position to take advantage!
11:07Prettiest move salt ever!
11:11Tiffany retains!
11:12Charlotte cost Jade the title!
11:15Here is your winner and still Women's United States Champion!
11:21Tiffany Stratton!
11:26Tiffany Stratton retains with a little help from Chelsea Green!
11:33And the Queen herself, Charlotte Flair!
11:38Here we see the arrival of Meechin and B-Fab taking our officials' attention for the moment!
11:44Long enough for Jade to deliver a chokeslam!
11:47Tiffany Stratton would survive!
11:51But Chelsea Green would emerge from under the ring to even the odds if only momentarily!
11:58Taking out B-Fab and Meechin!
12:02First into the stairs, then into the championship podium!
12:06And the United States title would be left alone in the ring!
12:10Where Jade Cargill had designs on using it to her advantage!
12:15But enter Charlotte Flair!
12:18The same Charlotte Flair who was attacked several weeks ago by Cargill and her baddies!
12:24Title shot off the dome!
12:27Prettiest moonsault ever!
12:30And still!
12:35It's Tiffy time in Riyadh!
12:38Thanks to Charlotte Flair!
12:45It's Tiffy time in Riyadh!
12:50Thanks to Charlotte Flair!
