Short filmTranscript
00:00Man, Jacob Batu, I mean, there's something there. Yadda Amin, Wade. Yadda Amin, too Yadda Amin, Wade.
00:09By the way, great job defining it at Pac-Lash on air for Mr. Cole. King's English.
00:15It is indeed. Yadda Amin is in the Webster's Dictionary.
00:18Wait, let's go back to what happened with Lugato del Fantasma a week ago.
00:21I'm still shocked what we saw between Santos Escobar and Birdo.
00:25Yeah, well, this was last week. Smackdown matchup. Los Garza took on Phoenix.
00:30Andrade in tag action. Andrade hitting the message for the big W.
00:36However, in the aftermath, Santos Escobar was far from happy with his troops.
00:46And that was Berto finally snapping after months of verbal abuse from Lugato del Fantasma's leader.
00:57Did you talk to him?
00:58I mean, I've been trying to call him. I even went to his house. He wasn't there.
01:02I think he just needs space.
01:07I fear he's listening to the wrong people.
01:10People that don't understand about loyalty and the bigger picture, como tú y como yo.
01:16Look, I'm willing to forgive what happened last week.
01:20Why? Because there's something in the horizon, an opportunity that I secured para nosotros, para Lugato del Fantasma.
01:28And this opportunity is going to help us make a statement.
01:31But I need something from you, Angel.
01:34I need you to find Berto and bring him home.
01:39Encuentralo y traelo a casa.
01:41Because I want to share this together.
01:43Call this an invitation to a sit-down dinner party on me.
01:47And we'll discuss this.
01:50Because this is going to put our names where they belong.
01:53Okay.
01:54I'm going to try my best.
01:56I can promise anything.
01:57Hey, Santos, Santos.
01:58Angel, Angel.
01:59Angel.
02:00When you stand up for something bigger than yourself,
02:04something special, that will always scare people.
02:07Obviously.
02:09Obviously.
02:11But loyalty, that is the one thing I've always seen from you since day one.
02:16It would be a shame that we lose all this loyalty for the actions of one selfish person.
02:26Legado.
02:29That's it.
02:30So Angel has to bridge things between Santos and Berto.
02:38Hey, remember the much-anticipated women's championship match is coming up next.
02:43Tiffany Stratton trying to stay on her top pedestal.
02:47Nia Jax looking to crash it all down.
02:49The title is on the line in moments.
02:53Monday, two heavy hitters.
03:00This is insanity!
03:02One unstoppable night.
03:04The champ Jey Uso versus Braun Breaker.
03:08It's me and you, Uso.
03:09Monday Night Raw is more dangerous than ever.
03:13All while the Money in the Bank qualifying matches begin.
03:17Raw, Monday, 8 Eastern in Tampa.
03:20Here we come in.
03:21With a massive lineup of four can't-miss shows.
03:25Saturday night, straight away.
03:28Battlegraft.
03:31Monday Night Raw.
03:33It's a new era on NXT.
03:37All the action.
03:39All the energy.
03:41All coming to Tampa.
03:44Yeah, we coming.
03:48Tickets on sale now.
03:49Scan the code to get your tickets today.
03:56L.A. Night.
03:58O前は何も変わっておらん.
04:01Oれと USOだを争った時のままだ.
04:06O前のちゃんとからつけてみえる.
04:09承認されたいという上と渇き.
04:11その浅ましき欲望が.
04:15お前を破滅に導く.
04:20Avistar Black.
04:21I'm afraid of you.
04:26I'm hiding in the wind and the wind.
04:31I'm afraid of the dark.
04:36Do you know?
04:39I'm afraid of the dark in the dark.
04:48I'm still looking for the sword.
04:53The moment you're going to lose the sword,
04:58I know all the money that you're going to lose.
05:03The two of you, when you're in my feet,
05:09I'm going to take the money back to the bank.
05:14That's very determined, Shinsuke Nakamura.
05:35We're going to be in beautiful Savannah, Georgia next week for Friday Night SmackDown.
05:42Tickets are still available.
05:43We'll even go to Ticketmaster for that.
05:45And what a card it is shaping up to be, Wade.
05:50The men's Money in the Bank qualifying continues.
05:54Triple threat.
05:55And it is going to feature LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
06:01More Money in the Bank qualifying with that top-tier showdown.
06:06Yeah, and we saw Alexa Bliss qualify earlier.
06:09Who will join her in the women's Money in the Bank match?
06:12Will it be U.S. champ Selena Vega, the 14-time world champ, Charlotte Flair?
06:19Or get this, SmackDown's latest acquisition, the incredible Julia.
06:25We'll find out next week on SmackDown.
06:27How great to have Julia on the roster now.
06:29So good.
06:29And we have another world championship match next week.
06:34Remember, they went at it a week ago.
06:36It was non-title, and Street Profits were not at 100% health.
06:39And now, could this be the momentum that Fraxium takes all the way for the biggest breakthrough of all?
06:46Street Profits with a title defense.
06:48WWE Tag Team Championships next Friday on SmackDown.
06:53Girl, I just came to take a look to her.
07:04But to be honest, it doesn't matter if you or Nia win, because I'm up next.
07:08I'm winning my qualifying match.
07:10I'm taking that briefcase.
07:12And I'm taking that title the same way that you did with Nia, you little backstabber.
07:17Jade, you can keep talking all you want.
07:20But if I were you, I wouldn't get too comfortable, because I am always ready.
07:26And you might be good enough to win your qualifier.
07:29And you may be even good enough to win that briefcase.
07:32But for as long as I'm champion, you'll never be good enough to cash in on me.
07:38Toodle.
07:44McKay was so close to getting this title shot herself.
07:48But it's Nia Jax who won the number one contenders match.
07:51It's Nia Jax who looks to conquer her former friend-turned-foe.
07:55The WWE Women's Championship.
07:58Tiffany Stratton against Nia Jax.
08:01It is coming your way in just a moment.
08:08We are here in Greensboro that has such a rich history in sports entertainment.
08:14And they have seen quite the night.
08:16Alexa Bliss has advanced herself to the Women's Money in the Bank.
08:20Fraxium's earning themselves a title shot.
08:24Didn't get a finish between Aleister Black and Carmelo Hayes.
08:26Well, there's been a hot crowd here in this historic arena in Greensboro, N.C.
08:34We've all been all gas and no brakes with...
08:38You know what I mean?
08:39I got a mean, Wade.
08:41Yeah, you've got a better one than me.
08:42But this young man loves the megastar Marry Me Tip.
08:45He got in line.
08:46There's quite a few suitors heading her way.
08:49Alexa Bliss, that young fan.
08:50Got a happy moment earlier.
08:52Seeing Alexa qualify for the Money in the Bank.
08:55Never too young.
08:56Two-year-old with his ear defenders.
08:58Good job.
08:58It's been loud this evening.
08:59A few weeks ago, we were all stunned when Nia Jax returned.
09:24She brutally attacked Tiffany Stratton at the end of her match with Jade Cargill.
09:29And Nia clearly signaling the target and the prize and what she wants to reclaim.
09:36And now it is right in front of her as this crowd is roaring in anticipation of this WWE Women's Championship match.
09:44Major victory last week of a fellow powerhouse, Jade Cargill, to secure this opportunity at the goal.
09:54Albeit thanks to a major assist from Naomi.
09:59You can enter WWE's dream trip to Universal Orlando Resort sweepstakes for a chance to experience Universal Orlando Resort's four theme parks.
10:10And includes the all-new Universal Epic Universe, opening May 22nd plus.
10:14A chance to meet a WWE superstar.
10:17Go to WWE.com slash Universal Sweeps to enter for your chance to win that.
10:25It's Tiffany Nye!
10:44The last time Tiffany Stratton was in a singles match with Nia Jax, it was their February rematch.
10:53That ended in DQ.
10:54Game is a rage for Stratus.
10:56Got involved tonight.
10:57There's no one in their way.
10:59It is simply time to decide it.
11:02The former friends, the bitter foes.
11:04Tiffany, of course, took the belt off of Nia Jax, cashing in for a Money in the Bank contract.
11:11Tiffany Stratton got a ringside view of Nia Jax against Jade Cargill last week and got jumped for her troubles.
11:19But there is no doubt in Tiffany's mind, despite the confidence she's showing right now, just how tall a task it is to put away the former champ, Nia Jax, who is hell-bent on regaining the gold that her former protege took from her back in January.
11:38For the official introductions, here's the always at the ready, Mark Nash.
11:45The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE Women's Championship!
11:57Introducing first, the challenger from San Diego, California, Nia Jax!
12:16And her opponent, from Briar Lake, Minnesota, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton!
12:41It's Tiffany Stratton, who holds that up high after ending Nia Jax's reign as WWE Women's Champion.
12:57That is what is on the line.
12:59Could potentially be the last time Tiffany Stratton holds that gold for a hell of a long time.
13:05This is about as calm and focused as I have ever seen Nia Jax.
13:11And that means one thing in my book, that means confidence.
13:15They know each other so well, staring right through each other.
13:23Looking for vindication this evening is Nia Jax.
13:26It's one thing taking the title from Nia when you have the advantage of the Money in the Bank contract.
13:33And what an advantage it is!
13:36It's another thing entirely when it's a straight-up one-on-one match.
13:41She goes for that kick to the leg and the headbutt comes in against her by Nia.
13:47Playing to the crowd already, saying I don't hear that Tiffy time anymore.
13:50If you don't let Tiffy out of the block, she quite simply can't lose this one, Nia.
14:01Since that dropkick blows there, and then Nia with that shoulder tackle.
14:08And look, Nia Jax really looks down her nose at Tiffany Stratton.
14:12The truth is this, this is a very different Tiffany Stratton to the one who learned the ropes under Jax.
14:18This, the WrestleMania 41 match against Charlotte Flair was a massive coming-out party for a different version of Stratton.
14:26We know she can fight it out in the trenches now.
14:30She can do the ugly stuff.
14:32Tiffany Stratton, when needed, can be a scrapper.
14:36And she does need it this evening.
14:38She comes in for the back handspring, but instead gets caught by Nia Jax.
14:42It's set over the top rope.
14:44Oh my God.
14:45That is so painful, the way she draped her from that height.
14:49All that power, all that weight on a very small condensed area on your ribcage, thanks to that top rope.
14:56I don't care how strong your abs are, Tiffy.
14:58They're not going to help you there.
15:00And I completely agree with what you said about her development.
15:02Oh, she's in such a compromised position there.
15:05She has her head dangling there.
15:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, the hip attack.
15:10Her head smashed into the post.
15:13Oh, Wade.
15:23Oh, that was, that was hard to watch.
15:26I mean, the sound alone of that tells you how devastating that was.
15:31That was head on steel, thrust there by the immense power of Nia Jax.
15:39Nia Jax had her lined up.
15:41She sent her into the corner head first.
15:44And just the position of Tiffany Stratton at that moment.
15:48She was a sitting target for that thunderous smash, Wade.
15:53Completely defenseless.
15:55Clearly, Nia Jax had that game plan in mind when she came out this evening.
16:01Meander Tiffany Stratton into that position and then strike with all of your might.
16:07Tiffany trying to get to her feet.
16:09I'm surprised.
16:10She gets slammed down.
16:11Stratton is even back in the ring.
16:14You know, just to get back to your conversation you were having,
16:17we know how much was taken out of Tiffany Stratton with the physicality,
16:22the brutality in that match against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
16:27She's far better off for it.
16:30She's just gone to a different level because of it.
16:33That is invaluable experience, even with all the damage that she took.
16:37Yeah, undoubtedly, you now have been through a true war.
16:42A one you weren't expecting.
16:43A one where the world was glaring at you, looking to see the weakness,
16:49looking to see the young, relatively inexperienced Tiffany Stratton crumble.
16:54Well, she didn't crumble.
16:55She was resolute.
16:56She was stout.
16:58And she's going to have to be every bit of that this evening.
17:02There she comes with Nia.
17:04Hanging on the ropes herself.
17:08Bullish hammer by Nia Jax.
17:11And now into the cover quickly to try to win the championship right here.
17:15And yeah, and you could just see with that massive power once again,
17:18knocking Tiffany Stratton out of her boots temporarily.
17:22Nia Jax admired her handiwork and then thought,
17:25oh, hell no, gold's on the line.
17:27Here's the cover.
17:28And now gradually wearing down the champ.
17:32Nia Jax is doing everything right so far.
17:34And the champ has just been overwhelmed from the off.
17:46That helps though.
17:48She can string together just a little bit of offense.
17:51Some brief breathing room.
17:54But you have to make it count.
17:56You're right, Joe.
17:56A flurry of offense here could change the game for Stratton.
17:59But boy, oh boy, does she need it.
18:07Jack's cooking up something major here.
18:10I don't know what's going to come of this,
18:11but it's going to be ugly if you're a Tiffany Stratton fan.
18:16Nia Jax with a second rope Samoan drop.
18:19And somehow Tiffany survives.
18:25And that's fine.
18:25The frustration on the face of the challenger,
18:28but all the damage is being absorbed by the champ thus far.
18:35Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you ringside.
18:38There have been two critical moments in this WWE Women's Championship match
18:42as Nia Jax has had control.
18:44Tiffany had her head draped in the corner just like this moments ago.
18:47And Nia came in with a hip attack that smashed into the post.
18:50Oh, but this time, this time she gets out of the way.
18:53Yeah, hip burst into that steal for Nia Jax.
18:56That's not going to help.
18:57Oh, and the sliding.
18:59Baseball slide gets the best of her.
19:01And Tiffany Stratton really has to make this count.
19:04There's been very little in the way of offense coming from the champ.
19:08Immediately trying to turn things around.
19:10I think Stratton rode it out, though.
19:13Into timekeeper, but off the top.
19:16How about that?
19:17Perkin Rana into the post.
19:20Nia gets sent headfirst into the post.
19:23Let me tell you, that impact by Nia Jax was right on the top of the head.
19:26That's practically the impact of a pile driver into steel.
19:32And Nia Jax is wobbled all over the place.
19:35This is the comeback that Tiffany Stratton's been looking for.
19:39The champ is flying crossbody to retain.
19:43A count of two.
19:45Just one big hit there from Tiffany Stratton has completely turned this match on its head after utter dominance from the challenger.
19:55Nia Jax returns after some time away with her sights set on Tiffany Stratton and reclaiming this championship.
20:14Pop up Samoan.
20:15Pop up Samoan.
20:16Samoan drop.
20:18Senton.
20:19Nia to get gold again.
20:22But that left shoulder gets up by Tiffany.
20:24Just a staggering amount of force on that senton.
20:29And especially there knocking the stuffing out of the champ Tiffany Stratton.
20:34Just when it looked like Tiffany Stratton had built up a major head of steam.
20:39Regained the advantage.
20:42Jack shuts it down once again.
20:45Nia going for that squash.
20:46Oh, we've got a roll-up attempt.
20:48A roll-up by Stratton.
20:49But Nia able to kick out.
20:50And then the big knee by Tiffy Time.
20:53You've got to keep moving if you're Tiffany Stratton.
20:55You've got to keep peppering this opponent with shots.
20:58Oh, the back elbow off the back handspring.
21:02Stratton's got momentum.
21:04Oh!
21:04Spine buster!
21:06Into the cover to retain!
21:08And the shoulder up by Nia.
21:11And Nia is running on fumes right now.
21:14Tiffany Stratton's cogs are whirring, trying to come up with something else.
21:17What a superb effort muscling up the challenger there.
21:22Getting close to a three-count, but not close.
21:25The Jacks still not going for the pin.
21:26We're not done yet.
21:27Leg drop!
21:29Nia Jax!
21:30Does she get gold back?
21:32No.
21:32Left shoulder somehow gets up.
21:35Yeah, really intelligent of Nia Jax there.
21:38Just one of those moves would have beaten a lesser competitor.
21:42There is a reason why Tiffany Stratton is the champ.
21:45There is a reason.
21:46Many call her the future of the women's game.
21:50Jax knows that, and Jax knows it's going to be something big
21:53if she's going to take the gold from Tiffany tonight.
21:56What a scene here at First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro.
21:59Over 12,000 plus for Friday Night Smackdown
22:02to see this world championship main event.
22:06Nia's getting in position.
22:08Tiffany was able to get to her feet.
22:11You cannot give Tiffany Stratton an extra beat.
22:13So durable, so much endurance.
22:17She's going to be back swinging before you know her,
22:19as Jax found there, but it might be for nothing.
22:22Looking at this.
22:23Nia's trying to get her up into position.
22:26Oh my, look what Tiffany's done.
22:30Oh my God.
22:32How adaptive there was Tiffany Stratton just when it looked like all hopes were lost.
22:38The body control weight.
22:40The incredible body control.
22:41In the middle of the women's championship match,
22:49Naomi with a steel chair in hand.
22:53Well, we were getting a ball burner,
22:56but Naomi has made it clear for weeks she wants next on whoever has the gold.
23:01She has said, proceed with caution.
23:04And now with both of our championship spirited fighters laid out in the ring.
23:12She's on the apron with a steel chair.
23:15Oh, but she's got company.
23:17She's got company.
23:18The storm's arrived.
23:21Jade Cargill.
23:22Ah, the big kick.
23:24After Naomi cost Jade Cargill the number one contenders match last week.
23:29It's playback time.
23:31On site again.
23:33Jade and Naomi fighting through the crowd.
23:38And that means this match continues.
23:40Oh, Nia charges.
23:42And Tiffany gets out of the way.
23:44That major distract has massively helped Stratton.
23:47She's going for it.
23:49Prettiest moonsault ever to retain.
23:53What?
23:54What?
23:54What?
23:55What?
23:56Nobody has ever kicked out of Tiffany's prettiest moonsault.
24:00Nobody.
24:01They have now, Joe.
24:03And that was perfectly struck.
24:07It's beaten everyone over the past four years.
24:09NXT, Raw, SmackDown, PLEs.
24:13Nia Jax, the first to survive it.
24:18Nia Jax refusing to be denied this evening.
24:21There is something special driving Jax.
24:24She wants the gold in a big way.
24:27This is outrageous.
24:28Stratton back to the top.
24:30Oh, and Nia pushes her all the way down to the floor.
24:36And Tiffany Stratton landed horribly on that side.
24:39Oh, what is she doing?
24:40What in the world is she doing now?
24:42I think Stratton's hard.
24:44Clearing off our announce desk.
24:46It's not going to get any better either.
24:50Nia Jax has all the time in the world to go...
24:57Oh, no.
24:57Oh, a carnage.
24:58Oh, no.
24:59Samoan drop right onto the reinforced desk.
25:10The referee being incredibly giving with that count, knowing this is a major championship match.
25:16Stratton's body has been wrecked.
25:21Oh, she's going for the annihilator.
25:23She's going to finish this thing right now.
25:25Don't speak too soon, Joe.
25:26Wait a minute.
25:27How is Tiffany getting to her feet?
25:29How in the world?
25:30Oh, no.
25:33Oh, no.
25:34Nia's done it.
25:37At the last possible second, Tiffany grabs that rope.
25:44And Nia's in complete disbelief.
25:47She feels she hadn't won.
25:49We've got an absolute classic here.
25:51This should have been over at least twice by this point.
25:56Ryan Tran says no.
25:58No, she had the rope.
25:59Nia says forget this.
26:00I just won this championship, and I'm taking it.
26:02She grabs the title.
26:04Nia Jax is walking off with the women's championship.
26:08Get control, Jax.
26:09You cannot win gold like that.
26:11Get back in here and finish the job.
26:15She's grabbing the chair that Naomi brought out.
26:18She's got the...
26:19Oh!
26:19Drop kicks the chair right into her face.
26:23Tiffany Stratton just put the steel chair right through her face with that kick.
26:28Prettiest moonsault ever to retain in a classic.
26:34Here is your winner, and still, WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton!
26:51That match had everything, Wade.
26:55Absolutely everything.
26:58What an absolute banger.
27:01That was about the heaviest annihilator I've ever seen.
27:05And Tiffany Stratton was equal to it after Nia Jax had already kicked out of a prettiest moonsault ever.
