00:00Well, MXM, what in the world are they doing interrupting the interview and talking about style?
00:07How much?
00:08Landon Gray's got plenty of style.
00:10Top flight's got all kinds of style.
00:13Let's go to Arkansas.
00:14The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
00:17Introducing first, from the graveyards of Tijuana, Mexico,
00:22the Meta Meta, Thunder Rosa!
00:27A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks, Nigel McGuinness.
00:30Well, that's right. It wasn't long ago.
00:32The highly anticipated final chapter in the rivalry between Rosa and Diana Peraza.
00:38The governor came off with a Lama Dash from the outside coming into play,
00:42but it was Tyan Fowler who was getting involved,
00:45specifically handing Rosa the tail buckle,
00:47giving a debauched Rosa the pin for victory,
00:49and Anthony Cochran.
00:51This took us to last week in the Battle of the Belts,
00:53where lightning would have struck twice,
00:55were it not for Thunder Rosa, who wouldn't let it go.
00:59Battling all over the arena with La Mera Mera,
01:03which brings us to tonight's matchup.
01:06What do you mean, wouldn't let it go?
01:08Do you blame her?
01:09Move on with your life, that's what I say, Tony.
01:14She needs therapy.
01:16And her opponent, accompanying to the ring by Johnny TV,
01:20from Victoria, British Columbia,
01:23she is the main character, Tyan Valkyrie!
01:29You know, we just saw the MXM Connection talk about style.
01:33Oh, yeah.
01:34I don't think there's any question there's plenty of style
01:36with Johnny TV and Tyan Valkyrie.
01:38You could learn a thing or two merely by watching her.
01:43You could learn a thing or two merely from Johnny TV
01:47and Tyan Valkyrie, always TV ready.
01:52Valkyrie, the main squeeze of Johnny TV.
01:56They are a big hit in China, apparently,
01:59where they hand out pictures of the two of them together
02:02to try to increase the birth rate over there.
02:05Really?
02:06Just what I hear.
02:07Where do you get your information from?
02:09Oh, I know, you make it up.
02:11I got it.
02:12Anyway, Tyan Valkyrie, Thunder Rosa,
02:14this has been brewing now for a couple of weeks here.
02:17Thunder Rosa has got a short fuse.
02:21She's got a temper, but she is remaining pretty calm
02:24in the corner right now.
02:25But she's got not just a chip on her shoulder,
02:28she's got a whole bag of Doritos.
02:32Here we go, and she's not wasting any time,
02:35going right after Tyan Valkyrie.
02:39And now Mike Posey says get back,
02:41as Johnny TV tried to get...
02:43Oh, in effect did,
02:45and gives Tyan Valkyrie the advantage here.
02:48Never turn your back on your opponent.
02:52Thunder Rosa, a veteran, former AEW Women's Champion,
02:57has been redoubtable in her quest to try to regain the title
03:02that she never lost,
03:04and to relinquish it for a back injury.
03:09Of course, Tyan Valkyrie trained in Canada,
03:12spent many, many years training
03:15and learning lucha libre maneuvers
03:17and submissions in Mexico.
03:19And it might come in handy here against Thunder Rosa.
03:23Spent a lot of time south of the border,
03:25to your point, collecting titles
03:27and dominating opponents here.
03:30Evidence of her dominating presence.
03:32Great combination of speed, power, and ability,
03:36not to mention self-confidence.
03:38Absolutely, you can just see it, it emanates from her.
03:41Snapmare over, and a kick to the back.
03:43Look at this.
03:44There's confidence.
03:46Has not lost an ounce of it.
03:49A great showing against the AEW Women's Champion last week.
03:54Took it to timeless Toni Storm.
03:57Right afterwards, she tried to help, of course.
04:00Diana Peraza once again.
04:02Oh, the knees that time from Thunder Rosa down
04:06and sending Tyan Valkyrie to the center of the ring.
04:10Watch out.
04:11Sliding Lariat.
04:13Tyan quickly comes out of that and rolls out of the way.
04:16Right to Johnny TV.
04:18And this match in the women's division continues.
04:21It picks up the lead.
04:24Right now, Thunder Rosa was doing the smart thing,
04:28but boy, I thought she was going to stay away from
04:31Tyan Valkyrie on the outside.
04:33No!
04:34She takes the fight to the floor.
04:40Look at that.
04:41Thunder Rosa breaking up the happy couple.
04:45That's what I'm talking about.
04:47That's what I'm talking about.
04:49That's what I'm talking about.
04:51The happy couple.
04:54Is that what you call breaking up the happy couple?
04:56That's exactly what I call it.
04:57Tyan Valkyrie went out there with a little bit of R&R
05:01with her husband to renew their vows,
05:04if you want to call it that.
05:06A little bit of R&R with her husband to renew her vows?
05:09Exactly.
05:10It's a damn wrestling match, Todd.
05:12What's wrong with you?
05:13Picture in picture break.
05:15That's a perfect time to renew your vows,
05:17were it not for this homewrecker, Thunder Rosa.
05:21You've really, you've really dropped off here.
05:25I mean, you've gone crazy tonight.
05:27And that's saying something for you.
05:29Watch out.
05:30Tyan moved out of the way, but Thunder Rosa had a step ahead.
05:33But now she gets kicked in the side of the head.
05:36Oh, yeah.
05:38Look at that.
05:40Broad smile on the face of Tyan Valkyrie.
05:44Look at the symmetry.
05:48The face and features of Tyan Valkyrie.
05:51She is just a genetic perfection.
05:55And now stomping the midsection of Thunder Rosa,
05:58and that may ring true throughout the match here.
06:02That may be a problem that Thunder Rosa is going to have
06:05the remainder of this match,
06:07getting kicked in the gut repeatedly like that.
06:09Or maybe in the jaw with the leg pulling on the arm.
06:16What it comes down to is Tyan, oh, my God.
06:18Tyan Valkyrie knows when you're down
06:20how to keep you down, doesn't she?
06:23She only has that ability.
06:26Use her strength and her power to her advantage.
06:31Face first.
06:38Leg drop on the midsection.
06:40Cover.
06:46Collision on TNT.
06:47The bad blood between Tyan Valkyrie and Thunder Rosa
06:50continues exploding right before our very eyes.
06:54Right now, Thunder Rosa's got the advantage.
06:56Forearm shots, combination blows.
06:59Cover up, Tyan, cover up.
07:01She can't. She's going down.
07:04Oh, she's back up.
07:06Missed the larynx.
07:07Kicked to the gut.
07:09Injiguri.
07:11And a drop kick from Thunder Rosa.
07:14Get out of there.
07:16Point to a jumping.
07:18Hitting the rope, Thunder Rosa.
07:20There it is, that running drop kick from Thunder Rosa.
07:25And now, here's a cover.
07:27One, two, two.
07:30Only the match goes on.
07:33Thunder Rosa has run 19 of her last 24 singles matches
07:36here in AEW, trying to make it win number 20.
07:40Does she have the power, though, to get Valkyrie up?
07:43Valkyrie got a very wide vertical base that time
07:45to prevent that kick.
07:47Knee lift.
07:48Tyan Valkyrie.
07:50Ta-da.
07:51Thunder Rosa rolls her through.
07:53Stomps on the midsection.
07:56And a cover.
07:57One, two.
07:58And she didn't win it, but close.
08:01That stomp was into the midsection
08:03or the upper midsections.
08:05Wait a minute.
08:06Whoa, wait a second.
08:08John Johnny TV is pulling Tyan out of the ring.
08:12Stand with your man.
08:17And is getting between himself and his wife,
08:22and Thunder Rosa.
08:25I'll get out of the way if that's what you want.
08:28Oh.
08:29Oh, it was a ploy, and it worked, didn't it?
08:32It sure did.
08:34You heard Johnny say, I'll get out of the way if you want.
08:36And then a spear from Tyan Valkyrie down on the floor.
08:40You know, the phrase, as we see a cover here.
08:44One, two.
08:46Nope, took it.
08:48It is the early bird that gets the worm,
08:50but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
08:54Side of the head.
08:57Yeah.
08:58Yeah.
08:59Did you write that one down?
09:01Into the ropes.
09:03What are you doing?
09:06Problems.
09:10Pick up Tyan.
09:11That one kicks.
09:13Tyan Valkyrie's man down.
09:15Oh, yeah, she's ticked off.
09:17Oh, Thunder Rosa rolls through.
09:21Cover caught on Tyan Valkyrie.
09:25Tyan Valkyrie count for the second time.
09:27Thunder Rosa.
09:28The winner, Thunder Rosa.
09:32And the second time, Thunder Rosa
09:34picking up the victory with that modified cobra clutch submission.
09:39I'm not here to waste no time.
09:43I got some business, and it's not over.
09:46Diora Burrazo, get your little ass over here.
09:51It doesn't matter which language she says.
09:55Oh, the Virtuosa has arrived, looking stunning.
09:59Thunder Rosa, what else could you possibly want from me?
10:05A congratulations, perhaps?
10:08Because you've won your last two singles matches?
10:11Well, congratulations.
10:13You're on what we'd call a winning streak,
10:16just like I was when I beat you three times in a row.
10:22Ay, que chistosa, tramposa.
10:24That's what we call it, tramposa en español.
10:26You don't follow the rules.
10:27You do whatever you want.
10:29And in fact, you never truly beat me, Diora.
10:33No?
10:34Hmm.
10:35I think the record books will show whether you like it or not,
10:39I've beaten you in a singles match.
10:41I've beaten you in a no disqualification match.
10:44And most recently, I've beaten you in a lumberjack match.
10:51How about here in Arlington, Texas?
10:54Next week, Diora Barroso versus Thunder Rosa.
10:58Texas bull rope match.
11:01How about that?
11:03Texas bull rope match.
11:07A Texas bull rope match.
11:11Between two of the top stars in the women's division and fans.
11:16Coming up next, our main event, an in-man tag right here on Collision.
