00:00And airs in this matchup Bailey Nia for the WWE women's title and Bailey taking the fight to Nia Jax early
00:05Did you expect that?
00:06You know, I did expect Nia to attack Bailey early, but Bailey expected it as well countered quickly
00:14Stalls
00:15No, Bailey's one of them greatest of all time
00:18Nia Jax got to be careful. Remember champions advantage Nia's got a pin or submit Bailey win the title. Oh, that was unique
00:25Oh
00:26Bailey
00:27Into the arm take the power away from Nia Jax great game plan on the early going by the champions
00:33I used effectively earlier with Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. I'm sure Bailey was taking notes. Oh
00:38Bailey, oh my oh my god, just stop Nia Jax just
00:43lifting Bailey up
00:45Uh-oh, this could be the beginning of the end into a jawbreaker. Yeah, Bailey though able to survive and now Bailey off the ropes
00:54You
00:57Know you mentioned Nia
00:58Leaving WWE and then coming back again Corey that the Nia Jax that returned is better than ever
01:04I agree wholeheartedly and the issue is this is something that a lot of us can relate to you
01:09Sometimes you're stuck on the sidelines
01:10Sometimes you're on the outside looking in and it drives you and it eats at you and you hope and you pray that maybe someday
01:16You'll get the chance to step inside the ring with someone who came up with someone you saw as your equal and now you have
01:22A chance to rip them down from the top of the mountain when you're not in the ring
01:24You could change your perspective a little bit. She's been more focused more confident from return
01:29Big deal by Nia Jax and now starting to overpower
01:34Woman handle the champion Bailey who does a one-woman parade in every town that she's in. She's the queen proud of herself
01:40Whatever she wants. Absolutely Nia Jax now delivers the elbow to Bailey if Nia wins do we get to do it WWE Jubilee?
01:48Like a Queen's Jubilee for a week. Oh, I would love to be a part of one. I don't think you know, I was ever
01:58And Nia Jax now just
02:00Continuing to pound away on the champ. Sir. Michael Cole. I am embarrassed for our country if that is the case
02:07It's Bailey with a kick to the midsection one thing you cannot take a take away from Bailey
02:11She's made a career out of it the guts and determination and Bailey knows how to survive
02:16We talked about this with Sami Zayn earlier, which probably not the best example to use because Sammy eventually got knocked off
02:22Nia Jax, but Bailey has that a similar will
02:26Will to survive a will to be driven forward by the WWE universe Bailey feeds off, but she needs to rally that
02:32Yeah, Nia has the ruthlessness where she'll do that to your face a million-dollar dream Cobra clutch
02:38Whatever you want to call it. It hurts
02:42Nia look at it where Bailey down
02:46Bailey taps Nia's the champ. Bailey trying to make it back to her feet
02:51Incredible atmosphere here tonight Cleveland Brown Stadium over
02:5450,000 plus been a great weekend here as well and Bailey creates space Nia misses wildly and Bailey now in an all-back
03:02Suplex by Bailey incredible power summoned by the champion
03:06The adrenaline must be pumping and Bailey now with several valuable seconds to recover and Nia as well trying to make it back to her
03:13feet
03:14Nia surprised I think the Bailey was able to do that. Oh Bailey hung up on the top rope
03:19By the 2024 Queen of the Ring look at Bailey Bailey relentless
03:25bounced off the top rope
03:27Sucked it up hit the opposite ropes and continue to bring the fight to the challenger
03:31And that is one of many reasons why Bailey is considered as great as she is to your point
03:36It seemed like Nia was dazed a little bit and Bailey took advantage
03:40The only trying to pull herself up
03:41Oh and side-stepping Nia and sending Nia Jax outside the ring talk so
03:46Frequently about people who are students of the game who love this business Bailey. Oh
03:52Perhaps more so than most
03:54Bailey studies tape extensively. She's constantly training constantly trying to be bad. It's gonna be bad
03:59Oh Bailey moved out of harm's way Nia with the leg drop to the apron. I
04:04Agree with Bailey on that note loves professional wrestling
04:09Nia Jax code film study as a child Thanksgiving
04:17Or just taking the fight
04:22Family of greatness obviously and again Bailey the veteran realizing champions advantage is in effect
04:27If God forbid Bailey were to get counted out. She'd still leave Cleveland as WWE Women's Champion
04:32That's got to give Bailey an added level of confidence in this
04:35Situation now Bailey
04:37Heading up top rope Nia Jax back to her feet as well and Nia the wherewithal
04:42To cause Bailey to lose her balance and Nia again takes over
04:52Jax now placing the champion in a vertical suplex position. Is that what Nia wants?
04:59Look at this stalling vertical suplex tremendous power shown by the chick
05:04No, but Ellie though Bailey
05:07Bailey
05:09This brings back some memories talk about a throwback to the days of NXT back in London when Bailey would tap Nia with the same
05:17move in
05:182015 Bailey hasn't forgotten but Jax more powerful now than 10 years ago
05:23Just slamming Bailey face first. I thought Nia was out. I
05:29Thought it was gonna be cold and now Nia Jax off the ropes with a
05:36And the champ is in all kinds of trouble Jax with a leg drop we're gonna win the championship on Bailey and a kick out
05:46Wow
05:49Bailey's somehow surviving
05:53Both sides have had this thing one
05:56Not four times within the last minute
05:59Nia Jax still competing with great force
06:02But as this match progresses, you've got to pay attention to Bailey because Nia will eventually have to slow down
06:08Now you're gonna unless this happens right now, and there's an often climb to the top rope at Nia's
06:15Gonna go to the second rope here
06:18This will finish Bailey
06:20The big leg drop
06:22Nia did take the scenic route to the middle rope outside over the top down to the middle and that cost the challenger period and
06:29Now Bailey firing up on a fight back into this thing
06:38And how
06:39Disheartening is that for Bailey for the champion delivering a maneuver that's brought so much success as we look again at Nia's crash landing
06:46That opened the door for Bailey to deliver the Bailey to belly suplex
06:51It wasn't exactly as effective as Bailey at home, but it still took a great deal out of Nia. This will do it
06:57Yeah, the rose plant and Nia able to counter
07:00And now with Bailey up on her shoulders Bailey though sending Nia to the corner unique escape by the champion
07:07Nia Jax sit down you're an Aggie by Nia
07:11old school
07:13Sit down from Nia Jax
07:17Throws Bailey through the mat here at SummerSlam, and oh no
07:22Here it comes if this lands. We're gonna have a brand new
07:27WWE Women's Champion
07:29For the Annihilator
07:41Nia is asking the same exact question right now and so far likely 50,000 plus fans here in attendance
07:49Nia hit her bread-and-butter the Annihilator and Bailey able to kick out before a count of three
07:56To be able to get her shoulder up and to throw Nia off there
08:00And I understand that Nia is in shock right now
08:02But the challenger needs to feel some urgency Nia needs to keep her foot on the gas pedal and not let Bailey's
08:09Recover oh, that's what she's doing here. No doubt bouncing Bailey's head off the mat
08:16Like spider would do here in Cleveland a big headbutt and another one by Nia
08:23Sending Bailey into the corner
08:31Nia Jax is talking
08:34That's what I was talking about Nia Jax is repeating what Bailey said to her this past week over the past several weeks
08:41Bailey may rule the day she opted to insult our Queen
08:45There's a lot of personal shots being taken over the last few weeks on SmackDown between these two and that could be all the difference
08:51Oh
08:53Extra it may not but it could be shoulder-to-the-post for Nia and Bailey buys herself some valuable time here
09:00Nia could have been distracted by what?
09:03Bailey told her
09:04And flipped it so maybe it worked in regardless again
09:07I earned this opportunity by winning the Queen of the Ring tournament back at the end of May
09:13And now looking to win the WWE Women's title over a very game Bailey here tonight competitive matchup for the championship
09:22Jam-packed Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio here comes the champion to the outside
09:37Now the onus is on the challenger Nia to get Bailey back in the ring ASAP
09:42Cover the champion and see how it unfold unfold
09:46You can be champ Nia
09:49Again this could be an error by Nia spending this much time admiring her own handiwork
09:54Well, she's saying she knows what she's doing to Jason Ayers there
09:58We'll find out
09:59Bailey trying to crawl away stay away from Nia Jax create some sort of space Nia into the corner with a big splash
10:08The champion crushed in the corner. It's about to get worse back it right up into Bailey
10:14And
10:15Nia Jax could be closing in on the championship, and there's no way Bailey kicks out of another annihilator
10:21There's no way any human kicks out of to it Bailey back to her feet
10:26What guts being shown by Bailey here tonight
10:31What's taking the way
10:44Wow
10:56And you can almost see the adrenaline pulsing through the veins of the
11:00WWE Women's Champion and now Bailey heading up to the top rope Bailey looking to deliver the
11:08To retain the title
11:14Extremely close far too close for comfort, but this matchup continues
11:24What did you just say about this place getting crazy
11:34Nia made Tiffany promise not to do this
11:38There have been two cash-ins in the history of SummerSlam
11:41And Tiffany looks like she wants to make it a third, but Bailey knocks her off the apron
11:47And Bailey now taking out Nia stacking her up kick out by Jax
11:53Bailey looking to take advantage of
11:56Tiffany rushing out here the champion just delivering a barrage of offense to a downed challenger here comes Bailey again off the ropes
12:03Nia Jax, oh powerbomb!
12:07And I don't think Nia Jax is done there yet Bailey up and down again
12:18And now dragging the carcass to the corner Jax from the second rope with an annihilator
12:25Oh, no, no. Oh God
12:27And for good measure a second one by the queen of the ring who now calls herself champion
12:37Here is your winner
12:39A new WWE Women's Champion
12:47Nia Jax!

13:03With a second time in her career
13:05And now Tiffany Stratton out here
13:07Celebrating with Nia
13:09Could it have been a plan all along?
13:11Perhaps
13:13Between Queen Nia and her princess Tiffany
13:15To provide a distraction
13:17To allow Nia to turn the momentum
13:19And the tables in this match

13:45After the powerbomb
13:47And here
13:49Came Tiffany Stratton
13:51Missed money in the bank
13:53With the contract in tow
13:55Bailey in that moment of self preservation
13:57Took the opportunity
