00:25The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:28And is called the Women's United States Championship.
00:34Introducing first, the challenger, from Barrow Beach, Florida, Jay Cargill.
00:43The storm has come, and she wants the United States Championship.
01:19WWE is coming back to Atlanta with a special edition Sunday night's main event.
01:26Sunday, September 6th at State Farm Arena.
01:29Tickets are on sale now only via Ticketmaster.
01:35We're about to see another rivalry renewed, this time with the United States gold on the line.
01:42Will Jay Cargill fare any better as challenger than Ricky Saints did in our men's United States title match?
01:52It's Tiffy time!
02:01I'm going in this line, it's gonna be in it.
02:06Try, I want to be strong, strong, strong, strong.
02:16And her opponent from prior, late Minnesota,
02:20she is the Women's United States Champion,
02:25Tiffany Ratham.
02:28Again, these two men in a number of matches,
02:30both singles and tag teams, late last year.
02:34Two of the highlights, Corey, SummerSlam,
02:37the night that Tiffany Stratton retained her WWE Championship
02:40against Jade Cargill, who was then the reigning queen of the ring.
02:45But in early November, Saturday night's main event,
02:48Jade Cargill would get revenge,
02:50the night that she ended a nearly year-long title reign
02:53for Tiffany Stratton when Jade became the WWE Champion.
02:57And that night is still very fresh in the mind of Jade Cargill,
03:01which explains Cargill's relaxed demeanor prior to this matchup.
03:07Jade feels like she's already done the research,
03:09she's put in the work.
03:11Tonight, it's just time to cash in
03:13and go home with the United States Championship.
03:22It's going to be an interesting contrast of styles in this one.
03:26Cargill, no doubt, with the power advantage.
03:28Tiffany Stratton, the aerial ability could be her best bet.
03:32And a basement dropkick by Tiffany Stratton
03:35to start things off in this matchup
03:37for the United States Championship.
03:38And Tiffany Stratton, sweet move,
03:41takes down Jade into a pitting combination
03:43and a kick out.
03:45Uh-oh, caught in the clutches of the Storm.
03:47Looking for a choke slam,
03:48and Tiffany standing switched by Jade.
03:51And Stratton runs into a right hand.
03:54If you're Tiffany, how do you...
03:55Uh-oh, look at this!
03:57Lifting Tiffany up!
03:59And Stratton landed on her feet.
04:03It looked like a Jade was going for that Eye of the Storm move,
04:06and Tiffany able to counter!
04:08And now right to the back of the neck of Cargill.
04:11But you were about to ask me,
04:12if you're Tiffany Stratton,
04:13what do you have to do in this matchup
04:14to retain the goal?
04:15Oh, uh-oh, caught by Jade!
04:17Stay away from her power, right?
04:20Exactly!
04:22Cargill with a knee right to the face of the champion.
04:27And the onus is actually on Tiffany Stratton tonight
04:29to throw Jade Cargill off of her game.
04:32Jade is a Terminator in a sense
04:34that she knows what she wants to do,
04:36and she has the physical ability to just do it.
04:38She doesn't necessarily have the timing.
04:40She doesn't have the nuance of a lot of superstars.
04:43She just has raw physical ability.
04:45Just like that, the sit-out powerbomb.
04:47Cover now on Stratton, who kicks out.
04:50Stratton's going to want to rely a little bit more
04:51on her technique, on her aerial abilities.
04:54Show Jade something that perhaps Jade hasn't seen before.
04:57And remember, unlike what we're going to see
04:59in a few moments in our main event,
05:01Tiffany has a champion's advantage in this match.
05:03Jade has to pin her or submit her to win the title.
05:05Countouts, disqualifications don't matter.
05:09And I'm sure Cargill is fully aware of that scenario.
05:15And this is smart.
05:16This is a good pace for Jade Cargill.
05:18She's not going to get ahead of herself.
05:19But let's be honest,
05:20Stratton, while lacking a great deal of experience
05:23in her own right,
05:24still has an advantage over Jade Cargill in this game.
05:26Stratton's had a lot more experience in the ring.
05:29Jade's sticking to what she needs to do,
05:31what she's comfortable doing,
05:33and it's working out very well so far.
05:35Tiffany Stratton, who won the gold back at the end of April
05:37by defeating Julia.
05:39And now Jade Cargill showing off push-ups in the face of the champ.
05:52What does that do to you psychologically when you're watching that?
05:56It crushes you to be physically beaten down
05:59and have your opponent doing push-ups to mock you.
06:02Oh, black hole slam!
06:04And here it is!
06:05And Tiffany just got the shoulder up.
06:09Take a look at this.
06:11Cargill ripping Tiffany Stratton out of midair,
06:15driving her down with that spinning sidewalk slam.
06:19We've talked about this a lot, Corey,
06:21but it is somewhat fun to watch the maturation process
06:23of Cargill in the ring over the past year.
06:26I agree.
06:27And I think going back to WrestleMania against Rhea Ripley,
06:30even though Cargill lost the WWE Women's Championship,
06:32might have been Jade's most complete performance
06:35from start to finish.
06:36And that can actually be a good thing for a superstar's career,
06:39a confidence builder.
06:40Tiffany trying to go toe-to-toe with Cargill.
06:42You're not going to outpower Jade.
06:45You've got to outsmart her in this matchup.
06:46Although even in the wake of WrestleMania,
06:48Jade Cargill still refused to acknowledge that Rhea defeated her.
06:52Jade claims she defeated herself.
06:57And now Tiffany.
06:59Oh!
06:59Nice dropkick.
07:00Creates a little separation.
07:02And Tiffany Stratton driving Cargill to the corner.
07:05And now Tiffany with an opportunity.
07:07I'm not entirely certain,
07:08but I think the knee of Cargill might have knocked a tooth loose
07:11from the champion.
07:13And Jade just catching Tiffany.
07:16Uh-oh, here it comes!
07:16Here we go.
07:17Tiffany, though, reverses Jaded.
07:20And there's a basement truck.
07:22Dropkick by Stratton.
07:23Cover now.
07:24Hook to the leg.
07:24On Cargill.
07:25And a kick out by Jaded, too.
07:30You see some frustration at the moment on the face of the champion, Tiffany Stratton.
07:36Is this the pace you expected here?
07:38From Jade Cargill, yes.
07:40I know Tiffany Stratton would feel a little more comfortable pushing the pace just a hair.
07:45But this is exactly where Cargill wants it.
07:48Again, Tiffany wanted that unique way to get into the Alabama Slam.
07:52And this time, Jade, though, sent into the top turnbuckle.
07:56And kudos to Cargill for utilizing her power to thwart Stratton's attempt for the moment.
08:01And a rolling senton by Tiffany.
08:03Puts Jade in position for Tiffany's...
08:06Oh, and she got the knees up!
08:08Prettiest moonsault ever, but Jade able to counter.
08:13Cargill had it scouted.
08:16Oh, and turning things around!
08:18Here is the cover!
08:19Is it enough?
08:21Sandstorm almost put her away!
08:26This is where Jade Cargill can't allow herself to become frustrated.
08:30She's in the driver's seat at the moment, but that can easily change if she gets overconfident
08:36or relents for even a moment.
08:39Oh!
08:40Again, another great counter by Stratton.
08:46Big right from Stratton and the champ building up steam.
08:50Cargill, though, catches her midair.
08:53Up on her shoulder.
08:54Tiffany, Cruzevix driver, takes down Cargill.
08:57Now the shoulders are down.
08:59The official, Daphne LaShawn, in perfect position there.
09:02And Jade is so strong that even on the way down, she was able to break her own fall.
09:06She was able to mitigate the momentum.
09:08And you could see Stratton had trouble finishing the pinfall attempt.
09:11That could be the only reason this match is still rolling.
09:13I'm extremely impressed with Stratton tonight.
09:16She's had a counter for just about everything from Cargill.
09:19Oh, wait a minute.
09:20Look at this B-Fab out here.
09:22And there is a Meechan, the minions of Cargill.
09:26Baddies, Cole.
09:27And now Jade looking to take advantage with a choke slam for the championship.
09:33Tiffany got the shoulder up.
09:38B-Fab now drawing our officials' attention yet again.
09:43Chelsea Green.
09:44Chelsea's here.
09:45Chelsea coming to the end at Tiffany.
09:47Diamond Meechan into the steps.
09:52Oh, it's B-Fab into the podium holding the title.
09:55I don't know who you are.
09:55Thank you so much.
09:55Oh, I'm trying to get you.
