00:27Ladies and gentlemen,
00:29please welcome
00:29the Raw Women's Champion, The Man, Becky Lynch.
00:37What a way to kick off NXT live on USA.
00:41This past Monday night on Raw, Triple H delivered an open invitation to
00:46anyone on Raw or SmackDown to show up tonight.
00:49And here she is, The Man, Becky Lynch returning to full sail for
00:54the first time in over four years.
00:56She's always looking to fight, especially when it comes to her opponent Sunday
01:02in a Triple Threat match at Survivor Series SmackDown Women's Champion,
01:07Bayley, and NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler.
01:26The Man, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky!
01:43NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
02:02It's been a while.
02:07It's been a while since I walked down that ramp.
02:13Since I sat in that corner defeated while you all sang my song.
02:20It's been a while since you've watched me kick someone's ass here live.
02:29Well, you won't have to wait much longer.
02:40Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky, Becky.
02:49Now, Triple H sent out an open invitation, but the man to man, I was coming anyway.
02:57Because all that's been on my mind is champ versus champ versus champ.
03:03Now, on SmackDown, on SmackDown, you have Bayley crying like a teenage girl
03:08with an old lady haircut about being overshadowed and overlooked.
03:16Bayley, you destroyed all of your Bayley buddies except the one blue-haired one
03:22that's holding you back.
03:31Now, Bayley.
03:36Bayley, it is not my fault that you are a champ while I am the champ.
03:49And now Shayna.
03:52Shayna, Shayna, Shayna, you showed up on Raw a few weeks ago,
03:57to introduce yourself to me.
03:59Shayna is gonna kill you, Shayna's gonna kill you.
04:03Shayna's gonna kill you.
04:05intertwined, interesting.
04:07Yeah, okay, okay.
04:09Yeah, Shayna showed up on Raw a few weeks ago to introduce herself to me,
04:14but I am here to remind her just who the hell I am.
04:31Because I don't need to hide in the shadows, I don't need to attack from behind.
04:36Shayna, you can bring Mary and Jessica with you if it makes you.
04:39I feel safe, but I am on your show, in your ring, under your light.
04:47What are you going to do about it?
04:51Wow, gauntlet has been dropped by the Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch.
04:56Wait a second.
04:59This isn't Shayna Baszler.
05:07It's the former NXT UK Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley.
05:12The other captain in the historic War Games match, going down at TakeOver this Saturday,
05:18but Ripley now making her way to the ring to confront Becky Lynch.
05:23Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea.
05:36Well, Ripley immediately stepped up to Shayna Baszler,
05:40first night here at NXT, tonight, it's the Raw Women's Champion.
05:45It looks like in this moment, Rhea Ripley's about to step up to Becky Lynch.
05:50This is mine, this is mine.
05:54Tension is palpable here at the NXT Arena.
05:58Rhea's gonna kill you, Rhea's gonna kill you,
06:03Rhea's gonna kill you, Rhea's gonna kill you.
06:10So, you're the man.
06:18Let's see if you have a set of balls.
06:27Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea, Rhea.
06:33Well, this situation has the potential to blow up in a hurry.
06:41We have a referee, we've been told that NXT General Manager William Regal signing off
06:47of this matchup.
06:47Here we go, Rhea Ripley against Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch.
06:52And it looks like Lynch is getting exactly what she wanted.
06:56Look at her face, she came here to fight.
07:01Dream matchup in anyone's book.
07:03Whoever thought we'd see this.
07:07Becky Lynch always showing up to fight.
07:11Cast aspersions on her opponent Sunday at Survivor Series.
07:15But now she faces the stout test in the form of Rhea Ripley.
07:20Becky Lynch has been quick to call herself the work rate queen.
07:24Showing up here to NXT is her way of showing us why.
07:28Lynch doesn't care about Brand bragging rights.
07:31She says she's the best man or woman.
07:34Now the electric chair by Ripley.
07:37And right across the apron, Rhea Ripley taking it to Becky Lynch.
07:42Welcome to Mind Blowsers.
07:45Days away from a historic Survivor Series weekend.
07:49Brand interaction continues in this hard hitting barn burner between NXT's Rhea Ripley and
07:56Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, who accepted Triple H's open invitation to show up here
08:02tonight and now wrestling in an NXT ring for the first time in over four years.
08:08Gotta respect Becky Lynch coming to gain a challenge, to grab a challenge.
08:12But I'm not sure she was prepared for what Rhea Ripley has to bring.
08:17Both of them hurting each other like the truth, looking to dominate each other like
08:22Lizzo dominated the Grammy nominations and talk about delivering the hits.
08:26Becky Lynch with a series of kicks and she's ascending to the top turnbuckle.
08:32To a little bit too long though, the leggy powerful Australian role.
08:38And the lead by Rhea Ripley as Becky Lynch lands back first.
08:44There's that power.
08:46Ooh!
08:48We go to DDT delivered there by Becky Lynch.
08:51NXT!
08:52NXT!
08:53NXT!
08:55NXT!
08:56NXT!
08:57NXT!
08:58NXT!
08:58NXT!
09:00NXT!
09:00NXT!
09:01awarding the black and gold, exhorting Rhea Ripley representing NXT.
09:08Just days away from captaining her team against
09:13Team Baszler in the first ever War Games match involving the Distaff Division.
09:18And right now the ladies lighting things up to kick off NXT on USA.
09:22Absolutely, when you talk about Meteoric Rises,
09:25Rhea Ripley's name continuously comes up, her star continues to shine across all brands.
09:31Now both competitors really throwing caution to the wind with her forearms upside the jaw.
09:38Nice block, this is the environment that Becky Lynch thrives in.
09:42She loves that hard hitting style, it brings out the best in her.
09:45Smash mouth match up here between Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley.
09:50And Ripley dropping Lynch like most of us drop our phones and
09:55Becky Lynch might wanna dial 911 to cover here by Ripley.
09:58And Lynch kicks out at two.
10:00So the upstar Rhea Ripley, who has already made her bones as the inaugural NXT UK
10:06Women's Champion, giving it to one of the best on the planet.
10:12A woman who has dominated, in fact she's dominated so much she calls herself the man.
10:18Hold on, hold on.
10:19One more package.
10:20Almost an upset there, Becky Lynch is dominated.
10:24And by Benzigiri by Lynch.
10:26Let's not forget main event at WrestleMania.
10:29One of the first main event at WrestleMania, looking to put away Rhea Ripley.
10:34One, two.
10:35Leg drop from the turnbuckle, the cover.
10:37Ripley able to lift that right shoulder.
10:41Before the count of three, both of them expending so much energy.
10:48Both wanting to give the other momentum going into this a huge weekend in Chicago.
10:55And he's giving up some size and strength to our opponent.
10:58Ripley giving up a lot of experience.
11:02Ripley also has home field advantage.
11:05Becky came into our house.
11:07Lynch maybe setting her up for an attempt at her patented disarmer.
11:10Ripley sends her for the ride.
11:13There's a roll up by Ripley, shoulders down through a two.
11:16No, no, no.
11:17The disarmer.
11:19Becky Lynch trying to sink in the disarmer.
11:21She's got it.
11:23On the verge of tapping.
11:24Where is this it?
11:25What an escape by Ripley.
11:28Unbelievable strength.
11:30The long strong arm of Rhea Ripley.
11:34The strength of Ripley.
11:36Just gutting Becky Lynch up.
11:38And the power bomb, but a nice reversal by Lynch using Ripley's momentum against her.
11:45Lynch is not used to this level of power and style.
11:50Lynch again going up to the high rank district, all the way to the top, turnbuckle.
11:55It didn't work the first time.
11:57She goes to the well, coming up dry again, thanks to Rhea Ripley.
12:01Ripley putting Lynch's legs to the outside to set up a potential superplex attempt.
12:06Loving forearms to the back of Becky Lynch by Rhea Ripley, precarious position.
12:13Ripley so tight.
12:14Superplex by Ripley.
12:19The height of Rhea Ripley sending Becky Lynch soaring to the center of the ring.
12:24NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT, NXT.
12:31Incredible.
12:32No, here comes Shayna Baszler and the NXT Horsewomen.
12:36Lynch is getting what she asked for.
12:38She called out Shayna Baszler.
12:41Baszler came out when it worked for her.
12:43The bad blood between the four Horsewomen.
12:48Shayna Baszler, again taking care of Becky Lynch and the Horsewomen with the numbers advantage.
12:53But Becky Lynch with a superkick and now she attacks Jessamyn Duke.
12:58Ripley and Lynch standing as the Horsewomen have been put on their heels by Lynch.
13:06No, here comes Duke and Shafir.
13:08Big exploder.
13:11Face first goes Shafir.
13:19Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom.
13:23The enemy of my enemies, well, my temporary acquaintance.
13:29Things continue to heat up heading to Survivor Series weekend.
