00:00The win continues with battle of the Bounce 11.
00:04It's Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGinnis
00:06joined by Ian Rigamoni.
00:12Your Battle of the Bounce opening contest
00:14is scheduled for one fall
00:16and it's an Eliminator Match in the
00:18AEW Women's World Championship.
00:22Introducing first, from Stage 7 at Warner Bros. Studios,
00:27she's the AEW Women's World Champion,
00:31Timeless Toni Storm!
00:36Oh, my heart still misses a beat
00:38every time I hear that magnificent organ.
00:41But Ian, the question is,
00:42has Timeless Toni Storm's time passed?
00:46Will Wembley Stadium see the end of an era?
00:49Nigel, the operative word is time.
00:52She says she only has time for revenge.
00:56The Wembley starts now.
00:58She better not look past Taya Valkyrie,
01:00I'll tell you that.
01:05And her opponent, from Victoria, British Columbia,
01:09she is the main character, Taya Valkyrie!
01:15Taya Valkyrie, who was very much involved
01:19in that Hunger Jack match a week ago,
01:22said recently on social media that
01:24Toni Storm will not even make it to Wembley.
01:27Well, she has a chance to do exactly what she says
01:33as she makes her way to the ring here.
01:35Quite a bold claim, Toni.
01:37Taya Valkyrie has been a sensation internationally.
01:41Nigel, if you remember correctly, just last year
01:44we saw this bout take place.
01:46The weather disrupted its broadcast.
01:49One year later, how things have changed.
01:51Taya has continued her climb
01:53and Toni, of indepthitude,
01:55says she only has the clothes that she's worn to the ring.
01:58Yeah, there's a different look.
02:00Yes, obviously.
02:01It's a very different Toni Storm,
02:03but by that adage, a very different Taya Valkyrie as well.
02:08Stunning, abusive, exuberant.
02:12Very simplistic Toni Storm, if you want.
02:16Well, Toni Storm really kind of changed her demeanor
02:20when she lost to Saraya at last year's Grand Slam.
02:23Now she has gone...
02:25And honestly, it's kind of embarrassing.
02:31Oh, God.
02:33Toni Storm's embarrassing.
02:35She's old Hollywood.
02:37Absolutely.
02:38Trying to contrast between new and old Hollywood.
02:41Taya, of course, the star.
02:43Wait a minute.
02:44Jackie loves Taya.
02:48Well, of course, it'll be a timeless...
02:51Whoa!
02:52A fence press.
02:53How about that?
02:54One, two, three, four, five.
02:56Count on with her.
02:57Titles Toni Storm in a rage.
03:01Well, we heard Toni Storm say to Mariah May,
03:05are you ready to die?
03:07Because I am.
03:09I died when I saw Mariah May
03:12attacking the AEW World Women's Champion.
03:16And it will be Mariah May and Toni Storm at All In
03:20on the 25th of August,
03:23the Sunday on pay-per-view.
03:25And coming up this Wednesday,
03:26we are going to hear from Mariah May
03:29as she will have a sit-down interview
03:31with our own Renee Paquette
03:33coming up ahead of All In.
03:34That's Wednesday, live on TBS.
03:36Mariah still has a lot of explaining to do, in my opinion,
03:39as Toni Storm delivers the hip attack there.
03:43Did anybody see this coming?
03:45I mean, there's part of me that did,
03:48but she was so enamored with Toni Storm.
03:51Indeed, it was an incredible love.
03:53Their love was transcendent,
03:55that of Toni Storm and Mariah May.
03:58The love that in a different century
03:59cannot speak its name.
04:01The flames of obsession and infatuation
04:04are only matched by the violence right now
04:06of the Meteora.
04:08Wow.
04:09Taya Valkyrie might get her wish.
04:11Yeah, Toni Storm, once again,
04:13this is an elimination match.
04:14Toni Storm cannot, as the old cliche goes,
04:18take her eye off the prize here.
04:20She cannot look ahead.
04:22This eliminator match
04:25would give Taya Valkyrie a shot
04:27at the Women's World title.
04:30And especially considering the pedigree
04:32Taya Valkyrie comes into this bout with Nigel,
04:34holding titles in Mexico, Canada,
04:36the United States, Japan, all over the world.
04:39Certainly a credentialed competitor,
04:41Taya Valkyrie.
04:43Absolutely stunning.
04:44You talk about taking your eyes off the prize.
04:47Any time Taya Valkyrie is here at ringside,
04:49it's impossible not to look at her.
04:52Both of you fellas are married.
04:55Sure am.
04:57Oh, my God.
04:59Of the families enjoying this,
05:00Toni Storm now firing back
05:04across the chest of Taya Valkyrie.
05:06I love the strategy here, Nigel,
05:07the in and out,
05:08the quick movements of Taya evading Toni here.
05:11Just trying to stay away from Toni Storm,
05:14who is on one.
05:16Oh!
05:17Face first.
05:18Face first in this match
05:20on Battle of the Bouts 11
05:22continues in picture-in-picture.
05:25Where's my Oscar award?
05:27You saw right there, guys,
05:28as right after Toni Storm hit hard,
05:31face first on the apron,
05:33the referee was checking to make sure she was okay.
05:37And apparently so,
05:39because she is back to her feet,
05:40but she's getting...
05:42Serious question, fellas.
05:43When you see Taya Valkyrie at ringside,
05:45do you regret your wedding vows?
05:47Whoa!
05:48Is that a serious question?
05:49Just asking.
05:50I don't want to speak for Toni.
05:52I very much love my wife,
05:53who loves watching...
05:55You don't want to speak for me.
05:57Loves watching the AEW and Ring of Honor women's division.
06:00You better speak quick, Toni,
06:01or else time you get back home.
06:04We got some great women's action later as well,
06:07as Willow Nightingale
06:08takes on Diana Perrazzo,
06:10CMLL World Women's Championship Eliminator bout.
06:13What a night here tonight
06:14as Valkyrie up the rumble.
06:16Downstairs.
06:17Cover.
06:18One, two,
06:19and got a two-count.
06:20And, of course,
06:21we're gonna crown new Ring of Honor
06:22World Six-Man Tag Team Champions
06:24tonight.
06:25Wow.
06:26Guaranteed to see a brand-new set of champions here tonight.
06:29Absolutely.
06:30Oh, right-handed slap to Taya,
06:33who returns fire,
06:35and I mean...
06:36Oh!
06:37Ooh!
06:38Oh, kick to the gut.
06:40Double underhook.
06:41Wow!
06:42Oh!
06:43And a cover.
06:44One, two,
06:46got a two-count that time.
06:50Single crab here applied.
06:53We are live on TNT,
06:55Tony Schiavone,
06:56Ian Rigoboni,
06:57and Nigel McGuinness,
06:59and we are with you here
07:01for this Battle of the Belts 11,
07:04where tonight,
07:05if Taya Valkyrie can win this match,
07:07she will get a future world title shot
07:10against champion Toni Storm,
07:12who's come to the ring
07:13looking completely different
07:14after what went down recently
07:16at the hands of her former opponent,
07:18Tony Schiavone.
07:20And I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
07:22Nigel,
07:23for Taya to take advantage
07:25of this mental state
07:26that Toni's in,
07:27trying to fight back here,
07:28fight through this.
07:29Yeah, I would say so.
07:30Certainly,
07:31Toni Storm,
07:32as much as she might be now
07:33trying to focus on Taya Valkyrie,
07:35her mind has to be elsewhere.
07:38After the glam-up,
07:39Mariah May stepped out of Storm's shadow.
07:44Suplex!
07:45One, two!
07:46Whoa!
07:48And a two-count that time.
07:50To me,
07:51it was like when Dorothy
07:52stepped into Technicolor Oz.
07:54Toni Storm's still living in Kansas
07:56in black and white.
07:58Well,
07:59Kansas or not,
08:00fans know what's coming up here.
08:02It's gonna be a hip attack.
08:04Oh!
08:05Did it ever!
08:07And staying on the offensive here,
08:09Toni.
08:10Maybe a Storm Zero.
08:12No,
08:13Taya got out of it.
08:14DDT!
08:15How about that?
08:16DDT!
08:17How about that from the champion?
08:19One,
08:20two,
08:21then a two-count,
08:23says Brandon Martinez.
08:25Gonna take more than that.
08:28And we wondered if revenge would cloud the mind,
08:31cloud the game plan,
08:32the strategy of Toni Storm.
08:33Nigel,
08:34it doesn't look like it's affecting Toni right now.
08:36Well,
08:37you say that,
08:38but Taya Valkyrie's come close
08:40on a number of occasions
08:42to picking up a victory,
08:45forcing Toni Storm to live by her adage there.
08:48Oh!
08:49Chin up.
08:50It's certainly out.
08:51Yeah,
08:52throat caught the top rope.
08:53Taya Valkyrie.
08:54What a move!
08:55Sliding through.
08:56What a move.
08:57What a move!
09:01We often think of Taya Valkyrie as a powerhouse.
09:03There,
09:04you see the agility,
09:05the quickness.
09:06Cover here.
09:07And a two.
09:08Oof.
09:09Taya Valkyrie,
09:10moments away there.
09:11She's,
09:12you can see,
09:13trying to think straight,
09:14get her thoughts together.
09:17Oh,
09:18maybe looking to end things here.
09:19Arms are trapped.
09:20No,
09:21good,
09:22good switch that time.
09:23Ducking through is Toni Storm.
09:25And a shoulder tackle that time.
09:29Oh,
09:30Valkyrie has...
09:31Oh!
09:32That might do it.
09:33Hooks the leg.
09:34One,
09:35two,
09:36and a,
09:37ooh,
09:38a two count.
09:39Whoa,
09:40Taya Valkyrie
09:42coming close many,
09:43many times to getting her world title shot.
09:47And that sly smile tells me that she's starting to believe
09:51she can beat the world champion here
09:53and earn that shot.
09:54Strong blows between the shoulder blades,
09:56Nigel.
09:57Taya tying up the AEW women's champion here
10:01who is struggling,
10:03looking for the bottom rope.
10:05It's about six feet away.
10:06It may as well be half a mile.
10:09The strength of Taya Valkyrie pulling back on her neck.
10:12Toni Storm fighting for all she's worth.
10:15That military crawl,
10:17trying to inch closer and closer.
10:22You can read the determination in the eyes.
10:24Gets away.
10:26Nope,
10:27Taya stops her.
10:30And now ties her up.
10:32Oh,
10:33looking for Shania Payne,
10:34maybe.
10:35Oh,
10:36wow.
10:37Six.
10:39Close to the ropes.
10:40Yep,
10:41too close to the ropes.
10:42One,
10:43two.
10:45Taya did a good job of pulling the arm of Toni Storm back,
10:48but it was the foot,
10:49the leg that got on there.
10:51May have been the only saving grace there
10:54that prevented the victory.
10:56Taya has wrestled a hell of a match here tonight,
10:59guys.
11:00Certainly has.
11:01Has had an answer for everything
11:03and has maintained the offense.
11:06Maybe she got
11:07Timeless Toni Storm at the right time.
11:10Oh, wait a minute.
11:11Pick up Storm Zero.
11:12Maybe not.
11:13Take those words back.
11:14Hooks the leg.
11:15One,
11:16two.
11:17It's over.
11:19Here is your winner,
11:20the AEW Women's World Champion,
11:23Timeless Toni Storm.
11:29Well, just as I thought,
11:30maybe she got the champion at the right time.
11:33I was wrong.
11:34Storm Zero won it.
11:35Toni Storm now with 21 wins in a row,
11:38the longest winning streak in any division
11:41here in AEW.
11:42And now she awaits Mariah May,
11:45who, by the way,
11:46we will hear from Wednesday night
11:48with Rene Ferdinand.
11:49First things first,
11:53this whore you all adore,
11:55this slut you can't rebut,
11:59this tramp is still the champ.
12:05Mariah May,
12:13you were perfect.
12:26You were all my dreams come to life.
12:29You were all my dreams come to life.
12:39And sometimes you were even a better me than I was.
12:51But Mariah,
12:53you made one minuscule mistake.
13:00Because when you had me on my knees,
13:06crying,
13:08screaming,
13:10bleeding,
13:12and screaming your name,
13:17you should have cut my bloody head off.
13:22Mariah May!
13:26Determined and ready for Wembley
13:31on Sunday, August 25th.
13:34Toni Storm, timeless Toni Storm
13:36defends the women's world title
13:38against Mariah May.
13:42We will hear from Mariah May on Wednesday
13:46as the glamour sets down,
13:48a court with Rene Paquette.
13:52Oh, what a moment.
13:54Fans, we continue here on Battle of the Belts 11.
13:58Let's go backstage right now
14:00and take a look at Lexi May.
