00:00What is the biggest event of the summer?
00:15And what would it be without The Queen?
00:18The following contest is a women's division match, scheduled for one fall.
00:34Introducing first, from the Queen City, Charlotte Flair.
00:42A number of weeks ago, Charlotte Flair was finding herself without a matchup for SummerSlam
00:47as you can believe it, without an opponent, and she got an idea, she stepped toe-to-toe
00:52with the Hall of Famer, the legend, Trish Stratus, and laid out a challenge for tonight
00:57here in Toronto.
00:58Look, I don't agree with everything Charlotte Flair has said about Trish Stratus, a lot
01:01of these derogatory comments, but I gotta thank The Queen because I'm excited that we
01:06are about to be treated to this match of two arrows.
01:10I guarantee you this will be no treat for the competitors involved, but this is Charlotte
01:15Flair, the nine-time women's champion, she believes that she is the true trailblazer
01:20of women in WWE, not people like Trish Stratus.
01:35And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus!
02:01The seven-time women's champion, part of the first women's match, the main event Monday
02:06Night Raw back in 2004, alongside another Hall of Famer in lead-up, a woman who blazed
02:13the trail for what became the women's evolution.
02:18I said it on Tuesday on SmackDown Live, Trish Stratus may have blazed the trail, but since
02:23then, Charlotte Flair has scorched the earth, it is a meeting of two arrows, but in my personal
02:29opinion and many others, Charlotte Flair is simply untouchable when it comes to the
02:34greats in women's wrestling.
02:37Trish Stratus admitted, you know, going into this, she did have some doubts, she did have
02:42some reservations because she wanted to find out if she really still had it, if she could
02:46really still go and hang with what some would call the currently best female in this industry
02:52and that's Charlotte Flair.
02:53But you don't pick the best in the industry to test yourself, you maybe pick some lower
02:59tier competitors, maybe someone that you're a little more comfortable with.
03:02You don't shoot for the stars on your first match back in several years.
03:06Listen, in Trish's defense, it was Charlotte Flair that called her out.
03:11Listen, all of a sudden, if Ted Williams were to come back to the game of baseball, you
03:17don't think he'd take a little batting practice before he stood in the box against Noah Syndergaard?
03:21Hey, Williams, what's the history?
03:24Trish Stratus did compete in a tag match a number of weeks ago, but at the same time,
03:27to your point, she's not been a regular competitor at WWE in 13 years, she's not had a one-on-one
03:31match in eight years.
03:32And now Stratus, going right after Charlotte Flair, there's no denying that all the opportunities
03:41that have come to Charlotte Flair, first ever women's Hell in a Cell match, main eventing
03:46RAW, and a Falls Count Anywhere match in 2016, all those opportunities came because of people
03:50like Trish.
03:51Yeah, you're here rattling off accolades of Charlotte Flair, meanwhile the WWE Universe
03:55here is singing the Canadian National Anthem, and no, that's going to help, that's what
04:00Trish needs.
04:01A bunch of people who happen to be born in the same place as her, really got her back,
04:05so that's going to help her win against a genetically superior human being.
04:09Wait a minute, now Trish, oh wow, and Trish turning Charlotte Flair across the ring.
04:15Oh, and pick the leg, pick the leg, Grinch.
04:17It's going to be a short night for the queen.
04:19Going for the figure four, wait a minute, and Trish.
04:22Great counter by Stratus, Trish Stratus came prepared, and look at the eyes of Charlotte
04:30Flair, was she expecting this?
04:38As Trish put it, I've been training every night in between my mommy duties and it's
04:41paying off.
04:42Okay, there's the difference, Trish has been training in between mommy duties, and I don't
04:46mean any disrespect, that is an incredible task to be able to compete at this level and
04:50be a mother simultaneously.
04:52That said, you have Charlotte Flair across the ring from you, who eats, sleeps, leaves
04:57this business, and does nothing but train and train and train.
05:01Oh, now look at the power of Charlotte Flair, oh, great counter by Stratus.
05:08And so far, Stratus has had an answer for everything Charlotte's thrown her way.
05:13Oh, and Stratus to the ropes.
05:17Earlier Stratus was telling Flair to shake it off.
05:20The veteran in control, Air Canada here in Toronto.
05:24Look at Trish go.
05:28Trish Stratus has brought this fight to the queen.
05:35Now Trish Stratus trying to drag Charlotte Flair back inside the ring.
05:43And Charlotte Flair had an opportunity there, and boy did she take it.
05:50And that's what makes the difference.
05:52That is why Charlotte is a nine-time women's champion.
05:55The ruthless streak, the in-ring IQ constantly scheming and conniving mid-match to do whatever
06:01is necessary to pick up a victory.
06:05This is a pivotal point right here to see how Trish Stratus is able to respond to her
06:09first level of adversity in this match.
06:11Now Flair tossing Stratus back inside the ring.
06:14Flair, of course, one of the three who compiled the first ever women's main event in the history
06:19of WrestleMania this past April.
06:21And now Flair!
06:22Oh my God!
06:23Yikes!
06:30There is a nastiness about Charlotte Flair that comes out every once in a while.
06:35And that's what really separates Charlotte Flair from not only the other competitors
06:39in the women's division, but a lot of the male superstars as well.
06:42That aggression, that ruthless streak that cannot be taught.
06:46It's inherent.
06:48Charlotte Flair has plenty of it.
06:49Others, not quite as much.
06:52Oh my God!
06:53Did you hear that thud?
06:55Flair who said that she wanted to embarrass Trish in front of her hometown, in front of
07:00her family, her friends.
07:02You have to ask yourself, as much as the WWE universe here in Toronto is behind Trish,
07:07is Trish doing herself a disservice?
07:10Having to deal with the fact that she is in front of her friends, her family, her home.
07:14That puts added pressure on a superstar.
07:17Talk about pressure.
07:18Look at this.
07:19The knee right in the small of the back and then cranking back along the chin.
07:21Great job by Charlotte Flair.
07:23And right now, there is absolutely no denying the physical superiority of Charlotte Flair
07:28right now.
07:29The queen is essentially in crew's control.
07:31And this is the thing.
07:32Trish Stratus has said multiple times that we wanted to pave the way so that a prototypical
07:37superstar like Charlotte Flair could come into existence.
07:41Can you imagine if Stratus was humbled by that very vision tonight?
07:47It's like the creation overtaking the creator.
07:50Again, I don't mean to discredit or speak low of anything that Trish Stratus has accomplished
07:56because it's not the case.
07:58Trish was a trailblazer.
07:59She was a pioneer amongst that entire generation.
08:02But the fact is, nobody can do it like the queen.
08:05Look at the queen mocking Trish Stratus.
08:09That signature point.
08:10What do you want, Trish?
08:12That's all you got?
08:13Get up.
08:14Get up.
08:16Get up.
08:20Again, going right back after the neck of Trish Stratus.
08:26Charlotte Flair is enjoying herself right now.
08:28I'm looking to break Trish Stratus, not only physically, but emotionally as well.
08:35Listen, that's a real possibility in this match.
08:37Trish came out strong out of the gate.
08:41You hurt Trish.
08:45Charlotte's been able to slow this match down to a comfortable pace that suits her.
08:51And Trish turned it around into a cover kick out by Flair.
08:54Flair took a little too much time there.
08:56Oh my god.
08:57What a right from the queen.
08:59Trish obviously able to pull off a pinning attempt, but just incited Charlotte Flair.
09:05I think things could get worse for Trish any moment now.
09:09Charlotte exposing the right knee.
09:11Driving it down across the back of Trish's neck.
09:19Shut up.
09:20Flair taking her time.
09:22It's savoring her way as she punishes Trish Stratus at SummerSlam.
09:27Come on, Trish.
09:28You want to get up?
09:29Come on.
09:30That's all you got?
09:31Come on.
09:32That's all you got?
09:33Come on.
09:34That's all you got?
09:35Come on.
09:36Come on, Trish Stratus.
09:39This is Trish Stratus.
09:41Come on.
09:42Come on.
09:43Come on, Trish.
09:44Come on, Trish Stratus.
09:46That's who you are?
09:47Come on.
09:48Come on.
09:49That's who you are?
09:52Oh, Trish.
09:53And Stratus battling out of the corner.
09:56Look at these punches by Stratus.
09:58And face first into the top turnbuckle.
10:00Look at Trish Stratus go.
10:02Trish couldn't take it anymore, being verbally disrespected by Charlotte.
10:06And the Hall of Famer raining down punches here.
10:09And now sent out to the apron.
10:14Nasty fall right over the tailbone for Stratus.
10:17Trish Stratus is a Hall of Famer, but Charlotte Flair might need her own wing.
10:23Watch this again.
10:27You admire the fighting spirit we're seeing from Trish Stratus in this match.
10:31But Trish is getting overwhelmed by the Queen.
10:33I admire the fighting spirit the same way I admire somebody who wants to try to climb Mount Everest.
10:38Sure, it's a noble deed.
10:40But we all know it's probably not going to work out the way you want it to.
10:43Down to three again.
10:44Boom.
10:45Look at this big boot connect right to the face.
10:47And then...
10:48Oh, God.
10:50Knock your vertebrae out of alignment.
10:52Hurry.
10:53And Flair, by leaning out of the ropes, has broken the official's count.
10:56Restarts it here.
10:57Now back.
10:58And up at two.
10:59Stratus has got to find a way back inside the ring.
11:02This is why you want it, right?
11:04Come on, baby.
11:06Come on.
11:07Official's count is now at six.
11:10Stratus trying to get back inside the ring.
11:12And now Flair.
11:13Oh, look at this aggression.
11:14Dragging Stratus back inside the ring.
11:16More damage being inflicted.
11:18That's all Charlotte Flair wanted.
11:20Trish, get back in this ring so I can continue to drive home the point that I'm better.
11:26You want more?
11:27You want more?
11:29That is what it's all about for Charlotte Flair.
11:31She's calling herself the queen of all eras.
11:34She can make a monster statement here tonight.
11:36And after tonight, the entire WWE universe should follow suit and refer to her as the queen of all eras.
11:42Because Charlotte Flair is about to remove any and all doubt.
11:47Going to the top.
11:48Oh!
11:49Missed with a moonsault.
11:50The veteran rolled out of the way.
11:52Yeah, but what does Trish have left?
11:54What can Trish actually do here?
11:57And now Stratus.
11:58Oh!
11:59Face first.
12:00Takes down the queen.
12:03Trish has got to dig deep inside.
12:05If there is anything left, now is the time to spend it.
12:09Trish has managed to hang on up to this point.
12:13Does she have just a little bit more offense left?
12:19And now Flair again trying to shake off that offense from Trish Stratus.
12:23And Stratus back up to her feet.
12:25Oh!
12:27Oh!
12:28Oh!
12:29Takes out the leg.
12:31You're going to hit me in my face?
12:32You're going to hit me in my face like that?
12:37Stop!
12:38Wait a minute.
12:39Oh!
12:40Oh!
12:41Trish Stratus taking a page out of the queen's playbook.
12:47Oh, now look at Stratus.
12:49Haven't seen this in a while.
12:50Woo!
12:52Oh!
12:54Oh!
12:57Trish Stratus discovering new...
12:58Oh!
13:00Big boot by Flair out of the corner.
13:01Trying to keep Stratus at bay.
13:03Going up to the second rope now.
13:05Oh, look out!
13:08Garland Flair laughing at Trish Stratus.
13:11Oh, this is brilliant.
13:12Oh!
13:13Oh!
13:14That was.
13:17Rating rights.
13:18Both of these women throwing everything they've got.
13:20And...
13:22He's going to get the edge here.
13:24It's a dangerous situation.
13:27Trish Stratus.
13:28Uh-oh, uh-oh.
13:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
13:31No, she did not.
13:33No, Flair did not.
13:34No, she did.
13:35Oh!
13:36No, it can run up.
13:38Stratus into the cover to put away Charlotte Flair.
13:41Oh, oh, that was close.
13:43That was so close.
13:44It looked like for a split second, Charlotte Flair encountered the attempt by Stratus,
13:48but Trish got the better of it.
13:50Multiple times in this matchup, Trish has been able to use her momentum,
13:54shift her weight at the right time,
13:57and thwart the queen.
13:59Oh!
14:00Charlotte launched halfway across the ring.
14:03Trish Stratus very nearly picking up a victory.
14:06This would have had to have been the biggest upset in quite some time.
14:09Well, listen, we've been asking,
14:10what does Trish do if she loses this match?
14:12What does Charlotte Flair do?
14:13Oh, went for the chip kick,
14:14and now it's Trish Stratus caught up by Charlotte Flair.
14:17She's defeated by Stratus here tonight.
14:19Oh!
14:20That's not happening.
14:21Another big blow.
14:22This one could have knocked Stratus' lights out,
14:24but a kick out.
14:26There's popping the right shoulder up to Trish Stratus.
14:30Charlotte looks like she's in disbelief.
14:32Yeah, you're absolutely right.
14:33Connected with that big boot earlier on in the matchup.
14:35Just about took out Stratus,
14:36but watch this.
14:37Bam!
14:38Again, right on point by Flair.
14:40The WWE Universe felt that one.
14:48Trish Stratus has definitely defied expectations to this point.
14:51Boom!
14:52This is just becoming inevitable.
14:54Boom!
14:55And again, going back to the knee
14:57that Charlotte Flair targeted earlier on in the matchup.
15:01We know what Flair loves to go for.
15:03The figure four into the figure eight.
15:05Maybe moments away from seeing it.
15:07It's time to go to school.
15:09And now for the figure four.
15:11Wait a minute!
15:12Stratus!
15:13Stratus, a cover!
15:14Kick out by Flair.
15:18A beautiful roll-up by Trish Stratus.
15:20Oh, wait.
15:21You don't think.
15:22Oh, oh, oh.
15:23This is blasphemy!
15:24This is not good!
15:26Figure four by Stratus to Flair!
15:29Can you imagine if Charlotte Flair
15:31were to tap out to the figure four?
15:33It would be humiliating.
15:34It would be catastrophic.
15:35But Trish Stratus' shoulders are on the mat.
15:37The official needs to pay attention.
15:39Trish is pinning herself right now.
15:41And the official, again, keeping his eyes on Charlotte Flair
15:44trying to see if there'll be a submission
15:46from the girl.
15:48And Charlotte Flair trying to see
15:49if there'll be a submission from the queen.
15:51Charlotte a long ways away.
15:53No, no, no.
15:54Oh, you gotta be kidding me!
15:56Trish Stratus with the figure eight!
15:59This is not fair to Flair.
16:01Charlotte Flair may be on the verge
16:03of tapping out to her own move.
16:05Bowers gotta be careful not having
16:06her shoulders on the mat.
16:07This is brilliant by Trish Stratus.
16:10Imagine if Charlotte Flair taps out to her own move.
16:13But again, Stratus couldn't hold it for much longer.
16:15Trying to apply the figure eight
16:16requires so much exertion.
16:19And Flair gets to the bottom rope.
16:21Stratus is gonna be forced to break the submission.
16:23How tough is Charlotte Flair to survive
16:25that significant amount of time
16:27in the figure four and figure eight submissions?
16:30Queen could be wounded.
16:32Yeah, the queen is wounded.
16:34Oh, and again takes out the knee of Stratus.
16:37There.
16:38Oh, Flair went for the spear face first
16:40into the middle turnbuckle.
16:41Gotta believe the damage to Charlotte's knee
16:43slowed her progression.
16:44It could be time.
16:48How about a little Stratus action?
16:51He hit it.
16:52No, no, no.
16:53Trish could do it to put away Charlotte Flair.
16:56Oh!
16:57Oh, no.
16:58Oh, no.
16:59Oh, no.
17:00Oh, no.
17:01Oh, no.
17:02Oh, no.
17:03Oh, no.
17:04Oh, no.
17:05Oh, no.
17:06Oh!
17:07Kick out!
17:08Oh, man.
17:11Charlotte Flair kicked out of Stratus Faction.
17:15I got a feeling Toronto would have absolutely erupted
17:18if Trish Stratus had scored the victory right there.
17:21How many people over the years
17:23have kicked out of Stratus Faction?
17:26Not many, but right now the only one
17:28that matters is Charlotte Flair.
17:30I echo the sentiments of the Scotiabank Arena.
17:33This is awesome.
17:40Oh, now look both ways, fighting back.
17:42Oh!
17:43Oh!
17:44Oh!
17:45Oh!
17:46Oh!
17:47Oh!
17:48Oh!
17:49Oh!
17:50Oh!
17:51Oh!
17:52Oh!
17:53Oh!
17:54Oh!
17:55Oh!
17:56Oh!
17:57Oh!
17:58Oh!
18:00Oh!
18:01An absolute battle of attrition.
18:03Oh!
18:04Oh!
18:05Oh!
18:06Between two of the most talented superstars
18:07from two different eras.
18:08Oh!
18:09Oh, now Stratus into a jackknife cover
18:11to put away Flair.
18:12Oh!
18:13Kick out!
18:15And Stratus nearly had Flair there.
18:17Wait for another big boot.
18:18Oh, and the chick kick!
18:19Chick kick!
18:20Cover!
18:21Stratus!
18:22To win this matchup in SummerSlam!
18:24No!
18:27Can't help but credit the resiliency of the queen.
18:30What is it going to take for Stratus
18:32to put away Charlotte Flair?
18:37Stratus with her eyes on the queen.
18:39Poised to strike again.
18:47Here's Trish Stratus.
18:49One more big move away.
18:51Oh!
18:52The boot connected just in time.
18:54I think both women had the same idea.
18:56Charlotte with those long legs connected first.
18:58And here it is!
18:59And here it is!
19:00Figure four!
19:01Will Charlotte bridge?
19:02Can Trish hold on?
19:04That was Trish in serious peril.
19:06Painful enough in the figure four.
19:08Trish Stratus center of the ring
19:10trying to survive.
19:13Oh, now Charlotte Flair's going for it.
19:15Charlotte Flair
19:17bridging into the figure eight.
19:19How much can Trish endure?
19:22And Trish Stratus taps out
19:24to Charlotte Flair.
19:26Here is your winner
19:28by submission
19:30Charlotte Flair!
19:32All hail
19:34the queen of all eras.
19:38You can take nothing away
19:40from the incredible effort
19:42we saw from Trish Stratus.
19:44You know Byron, I wholeheartedly agree
19:46with you. Trish Stratus
19:48brought the biggest
19:50best fight she could bring tonight
19:52and gave a hell of a challenge
19:54a hell of a challenge
19:56to Charlotte Flair.
19:58But in the end
20:00there can only be one queen.
20:06Earlier on in this matchup again
20:08watch this, a hurricanrana from the top
20:10here by Trish Stratus.
20:12We thought this was an instance where Charlotte Flair
20:14was going to go away here in this matchup
20:16but the fight would continue.
20:18Stratus going for her patented finishing move
20:20Stratus-faction!
20:22Two superstars have been able to escape
20:24this move over the years
20:26and Charlotte Flair did so tonight.
20:28And just this quick
20:30Trish was looking for a kick
20:32Charlotte Flair, bigger, stronger, faster
20:34connected first
20:36and then it was all
20:38over. The figure 8 submission
20:40earns the queen
20:42one more trip
20:44to the victory lane.
20:48For all the effort she put in to prepare for this match
20:51I know it's got to be heartbreaking for Trish Stratus
20:53but indeed
20:55Charlotte Flair the better competitor
20:57on this night.
21:21Thank you Charlotte!
21:23Thank you Charlotte!
21:25Thank you Charlotte!
21:27Thank you Charlotte!
21:50Thank you Charlotte!
22:20Thank you Charlotte!
22:22Thank you Charlotte!
22:24Thank you Charlotte!
22:36What a scintillating moment for Trish Stratus
22:38again even in defeat
22:40a magnificent moment here
22:42in her hometown of Toronto.
22:44Trish Stratus has absolutely
