00:08:1127 years ago
00:08:13to the day in st
00:08:15Louis, Missouri
00:08:16For the hell in a cell structure first surrounded the ring and on that night the Undertaker faced Shawn
00:08:23Michaels in an epic battle on the night when the Undertaker's brother the demon Kane would appear for the first time in
00:08:31WWE
00:08:33Since that night hell in a cell has made history
00:08:42It's made history while simultaneously tearing flesh shattering bodies ending careers and
00:08:50altering lives
00:08:52Drew McIntyre steps inside hell for the third time in his career
00:08:58He is yet to win in this matchup
00:09:01losing to Randy Orton for the WWE Championship
00:09:05Four years ago losing to Bobby Lashley three years ago tonight
00:09:11McIntyre hopes to end that streak and end the career of
00:09:17see
00:09:22You
00:09:28Know Cory another interesting statistic
00:09:31Drew McIntyre made his premium live event debut
00:09:3715 years and one day ago
00:09:40Ironically in the hell in a cell premium live event. Oh
00:09:46How Drew McIntyre has come so far from that day?
00:09:51Target everybody. It's our pleasure to join us here in Atlanta tonight. I'm Michael Cole. He's Corey Graves
00:09:56It is going to be an historic night, you know go in this industry
00:10:00We generally try to avoid using the word hatred superstars usually maintain certain levels of professionalism
00:10:07Not the case with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. You can see by the look at McIntyre's eyes
00:10:12He has one mission tonight to end CM Punk for good celebrities and Hall of Famers joining us in Atlanta tonight
00:10:20Of course a city rich in professional wrestling history when the stakes are the highest the stars come out and shine the brightest
00:10:27We are joined right behind us at ringside by the Hall of Famer himself
00:10:32Goldberg is in the house beside his son Gage
00:10:37Taking in tonight's sights and sounds and also there's my guy killer Mike
00:10:41Grammy award-winning rapper actor and activist from right here in Atlanta
00:10:46Member of the critically praised hip-hop duo run the jewels
00:10:50Let me guess Paul you got killer Mike that seat
00:10:52I did hung out with the backstage took pictures with him signed autographs big hip-hop guy
00:10:58Took his nickname for me
00:11:00shoelace killer Mike
00:11:15I
00:11:45I
00:12:15Oh
00:12:24Cory see a pocket his career is two and two in Hell in a Cell matches
00:12:29But this is his first in nearly 11 years right here in Atlanta back in
00:12:362012 see a puck actually had a Hell in a Cell match
00:12:40Against my back defeating him inside this structure
00:12:44But you use the word hatred before that is what this is about for these two men
00:12:49They want to end each other's careers. They want to maim each other. They want to send each other to the hospital
00:12:58This is not wholly unfamiliar
00:13:01Territory psychologically speaking for CM Punk if you look back years ago in Punk's career once upon a time
00:13:08He admitted in order to destroy the monsters of the world
00:13:11He himself must become a monster
00:13:15Punk has got to tap into that side of himself tonight if he wants to walk out of the cell or Atlanta at all
00:13:21He said Drew McIntyre has made him the man his first critics say he is
00:13:28McIntyre on the other hand tweeted out and also added a very emotional video today where he said this is not going to be classic
00:13:34It's not going to be cinema. It is going to be mutually assured
00:13:40Destruction
00:13:52Matchup is underway
00:13:55The official here tonight
00:13:59In this matchup inside the ring is Sean Bennett Daphne Lashon is outside of hell in a cell
00:14:06The rules of the matchup are simple you win via pinfall or submission there are no countouts there are no
00:14:14disqualifications
00:14:15Punk and McIntyre the trilogy
00:14:18starts now
00:14:36Here we go McIntyre and Punk
00:14:45From the opening swing State Farm Arena is rock and you can tell the WWE universe is in a downright
00:14:52Sanguine is mood tonight McIntyre
00:14:55And CM Punk unloading McIntyre of course beat Punk back at SummerSlam
00:15:01Return the favor the Scrap Magic Bash in Berlin the night after that
00:15:05Couple of nights later McIntyre would attack Punk he would beat him so viciously he would rip off CM Punk's
00:15:12Bracelet, and he would shove the beads into Punk's mouth
00:15:16Angering Punk to the point that we're here today
00:15:22As this match progresses we'll find out did Drew McIntyre
00:15:25Do what Punk claimed did McIntyre summon the devil himself or has Drew been successful in clouding Punk's headspace
00:15:33Is Punk's psyche all over the place because he's clouded by rage
00:15:36Yeah
00:15:37But what about McIntyre Drew McIntyre said that his wife has become second best in his heart to the hatred that he has
00:15:44for CM Punk
00:15:47McIntyre is oh master clean
00:15:50Played his mind games leading up to this point as Punk's lower back crashes into the steel in the early moments of this one
00:15:56But also Corey
00:15:57Let's not forget the obsession that McIntyre has had with Punk and what Punk has cost McIntyre on a number of occasions the world championship
00:16:05including at WrestleMania
00:16:08Punk now blocks it CM Punk drives McIntyre McIntyre able to block however
00:16:13Both superstars right now attempting to utilize the cage like a cheese grater
00:16:17We have the opportunity to talk to some of the legends who've been in Hell in a Cell over the years the one thing they
00:16:22Will tell you is that to be successful. Oh, you have to use the cell as a weapon. You have to use it to your advantage
00:16:30Tonight these superstars know that pain is not the enemy pain is the call to greatness McIntyre into the steel
00:16:38And now CM Punk
00:16:40Driving his shoulders into the ribs of the Scottish warrior and again driving McIntyre into the steel structure
00:16:48Is the aforementioned strategy of utilizing the cell to your advantage?
00:16:53You are surrounded by a gigantic weapon
00:16:56Punk has said on a number of occasions
00:16:58This is not the man that he wants to be the man that Drew McIntyre has made him over the past number of months
00:17:04McIntyre's made him over the past number of months beginning at the Royal Rumble when McIntyre injured Punk
00:17:11This may not be the man who CM Punk wants to be Michael Cole
00:17:15But this is who CM Punk has been who CM Punk is in his heart. No fear
00:17:20No, hope fight tonight like there's no tomorrow because for Punk there may not be
00:17:26And the same goes for McIntyre. You're absolutely right McIntyre said punk you you think you're supernatural
00:17:33But you're nothing but a man and Punk now with a steel chair in hand and McIntyre
00:17:38averting disaster with a boot right to the midsection and now with a chair the spine of Punk
00:17:47This will not be a five-star wrestling classic that is for sure
00:17:53These men want to punish and maim one another
00:17:58Limited only by the confines of the cell and their own imaginations
00:18:04Very few men are ever the same when they walk out of this structure
00:18:08This is what makes McIntyre so dangerous good so devastating the Scottish warrior is absolutely
00:18:15ruthless in every sense of the word
00:18:19McIntyre now looking for a
00:18:21For some more weapons. I mean you ask a guy like that the Undertaker Corey
00:18:26He's been inside this structure 14 times in his career every time he left he was never the same
00:18:32That in and of itself is nothing short of miraculous
00:18:35I doubt that record will ever be topped and McIntyre now looking through a toolbox under the ring you lies that
00:18:41Constructed and my god nearly took Punk's head off with a wrench and out CM Punk
00:18:47unloading on McIntyre
00:18:50and punk
00:18:53Oh
00:18:54Using the wrench now
00:18:57face of McIntyre
00:18:59And yet CM Punk knows what he has to do
00:19:03This isn't what he wanted, but this is what Punk will do to win and how long can you last how deep can you dig?
00:19:10How long will be locked in this structure? Yes guys like Triple H and Shawn Michaels
00:19:162004 had the longest ever Hell in a Cell match in over 47 minutes will Punk and McIntyre go longer than that tonight
00:19:26And now driving Punk back down to the mat
00:19:33Both of these superstars have landed some seriously heavy artillery in the early moments of this matchup
00:19:39As McIntyre connects with a boot right to the forehead of CM Punk
00:19:45And the official is there either count of one two three or the tap out
00:19:53There are no other rules inside Hell in a Cell and McIntyre just ripped the legs off that table
00:19:58It's Rusev gonna use those legs as a weapon or at least attempt to
00:20:05That would have been a disaster
00:20:08Adam Chapman first into the table and McIntyre got his hands up as best he could to protect his throat
00:20:14But there was definitely some contact
00:20:18And now it's CM Punk with the legs of the table in his hands
00:20:31And the WWE Universe learning alongside through McIntyre to the inside of CM Punk's head is a scary scary place
00:20:39The point I was going to make is Corey. You probably know
00:20:44You guys were the best of friends a number of years ago you've seen Punk you've seen the good and the bad side of this
00:20:50man
00:20:53But even my myself, I don't know what Capewood Punk is truly capable of I have never been trapped inside of Hell in a Cell
00:21:00With CM Punk and again driving McIntyre spine and headfirst into that table
00:21:05It has never been a matter of self-preservation with anybody
00:21:08I've seen step in the ring with CM Punk McIntyre has made it abundantly clear
00:21:12He wants to end the Punk's career ruin Punk's life tonight
00:21:17Punk looks like he wants to do the same to McIntyre and look at trying to drive McIntyre
00:21:22His eye into the oh god into the leg of the table McIntyre trying to somehow block and does
00:21:30Hey listen Punk said despite the best efforts of my family to stop me from going into this matchup
00:21:37He goes I can't afford a Hell in a Cell match at this point in my career
00:21:40But if this means the end of my career, so be it because I have to end through McIntyre
00:21:46That just speaks volumes to how deep under the skin of CM Punk McIntyre has managed to get
00:21:52Now Punk McIntyre up on his shoulders. They think about go to sleep McIntyre wisely grasping the cell
00:22:00Excellence in the world talking about Hell in a Cell as we kick off the night tonight inside this structure with McIntyre
00:22:10Driving Punk to the floor
00:22:19This is going to be one of those nights if nothing else with this play
00:22:24Drew McIntyre has bought himself some extremely valuable time to recover to regain his bearings and to figure out new ways
00:22:32to torture his opponent
00:22:34The CM Punk Champs
00:22:39Bringing to the State Farm here in Atlanta sold out over nearly
00:22:4517,000 on hand here tonight
00:22:52McIntyre again looking to use his power and now with Punk up McIntyre
00:22:59Face first
00:23:02Ramrod and Punk into the cell
00:23:06Talked about McIntyre a lot. He's terminator like the way that he's built
00:23:14They called him a Scottish warrior we called him a terminator, but I believe the term psychopath is most apropos tonight
00:23:21Hey, you and I both have the opportunity to talk to Drew earlier today
00:23:24He had that deep faraway look at his eyes like I don't even know what he was talking about
00:23:29Right now Drew McIntyre is loving what he's seeing
00:23:33CM Punk has begun to bleed
00:23:37After meeting this steel face first and it is what McIntyre promised
00:23:42Tonight these hallowed grounds may very well run red
00:23:48This could finish it all
00:23:52God
00:23:55The
00:23:57State Farm Arena, which sits on the site of the
00:24:01legendary Omni in downtown Atlanta that has seen some of the great battles some of the most vicious battles in the history of
00:24:09wrestling
00:24:10And tonight another chapter added McIntyre Punk in a cell
00:24:25Hatred
00:24:29Disdain disgust I'm gonna answer career your wife is gonna leave you
00:24:41Deeply insulting comments he made on Monday Night Raw about wife
00:24:45And
00:24:49McIntyre wants to prove to the WWE universe that he is a man of his word that the Scottish warrior will be the one
00:24:55Responsible for ending Punk once and for all back to the tool box. Oh my god
00:24:59I've seen the wrench I believe it is right into the open wound of CM Punk and Punk writhing and screaming in pain
00:25:07Now look at the sick look on McIntyre's face sadistic
00:25:12Remorseless, it's only driving and fueling McIntyre
00:25:21Punk a
00:25:23Crimson mask has fallen over his face
00:25:27The best time to see red as a superstar is when it's coming from your opponent
00:25:32And now McIntyre
00:25:35Ripping out yet another table in a match that thus far has been very one-sided
00:25:43CM Punk
00:25:45Desperately, I'm not even sure punk knows where he's at Cory. I got to agree with you Sean Bennett's in there keeping an eye on the
00:25:52situation
00:25:54Checking on Punk making sure Punk can continue but listen to your point. I know CM Punk extremely well
00:26:00You're gonna have to stop this match to protect Punk from himself because Punk will not quit and think about this Cory you throw
00:26:06The Royal Rumble right? This is CM Punk's third match
00:26:11Drew McIntyre wrestles every single week almost and now Punk's locked inside a cage against the man. Who's it? He's a psycho
00:26:19He's an absolute psychopath
00:26:21McIntyre who's in the best shape of his career and now he just wants to do harm
00:26:24That's all he wants to do here
00:26:26Listen Cole, you and I are both guilty of leaning into the romance of this industry
00:26:30It's amazing to have CM Punk back in WWE in 2024 inside hell in a cell
00:26:35But let's look at the reality of the situation Punk has not been competing at this level for quite some time
00:26:41Particularly not against someone as dangerous as Drew McIntyre Punk might be outgunned tonight
00:26:46And you notice the black armband on the left bicep of McIntyre
00:26:50He told us he was wearing that tonight because this was Punk's funeral
00:26:55He was wearing black out of quote respect for CM Punk
00:27:01McIntyre also wanted to offer his apologies in advance for what he does
00:27:06With a straight-edge superstar now Punk though. Look at a rally
00:27:12The patented high knee from Punk, but Punk can't capitalize. That might have been it Cole that might have been a last gasp from Punk
00:27:19CM Punk is a tap into those energy reserves if they exist anymore
00:27:34And now Punk climbing up to the top rope
00:27:38You see Punk blinking his eyes opening them wide as the blood begins to run through
00:27:43I don't know Cole if you've had blood in your eyes
00:27:44You can't see a damn thing and if you can't see you can't fight. I can only imagine
00:27:50the pain
00:27:53As Punk now with a
00:27:56That's he has a wrench in his hand as he climbs up to the top rope
00:28:00He's got a wrench in his hand. He's got a wrench in his hand. He's got a wrench in his hand
00:28:04That's he has a wrench in his hand as he climbs up to the top rope Punk gonna use it as a weapon McIntyre
00:28:11Was able to intercept and send Punk across the ring with a suplex
00:28:34Of McIntyre
00:28:35And a kip up to rub it in the face of CM Punk who quarried for much of the last ten minutes or so
00:28:43Has looked absolutely helpless and defenseless and now McIntyre looks for the kill shot and Punk
00:28:51Wisely, wisely rolled out of the ring. That was brilliant. That is veteran ring awareness from CM Punk
00:29:01Punk is physically
00:29:04maimed exhausted
00:29:15If nothing else Punk has some time to compose himself to try to get his sight back to 100% watch this
00:29:26And now McIntyre's been cut open and now it's McIntyre who's bleeding and tasted his own blood
00:29:33And now CM Punk into the ring toolbox in hand
00:29:39Unloading on McIntyre
00:29:42We have to break out the Buddha scale pretty soon as Punk makes the climb to the top turnbuckle
00:29:48Toolbox in hand McIntyre can't see try to wipe the blood and again he's taken down
00:29:54blinded battered brutalized
00:29:58Blinded by blood
00:30:00Blinded by rage blinded by hate these two men
00:30:05Destroyed each other inside the cell
00:30:15And there's the running knee by Punk again a little bit more on that one this time
00:30:19And now the momentum beginning to build by Punk and there's a third to McIntyre and now it's McIntyre who's in trouble
00:30:28And
00:30:30Off the bulldog Drew McIntyre's on dream street
00:30:35I don't know where Punk is getting it, but he's summoning the energy summoning the will to turn the tides inside the cell
00:30:47And now Punk calling for the end
00:30:53McIntyre
00:30:54Struggling somehow to get to his feet
00:30:58Grabbing the ropes Punk now setting up for the go to sleep the GTS McIntyre fighting out however
00:31:09Counters for counters and back up again go through
00:31:18And I don't know if that was wherewithal or instinct from McIntyre
00:31:22But Punk realizes that may have been his best shot to end this
00:31:30Take another look Punk hoisting up the massive McIntyre knee directly on the temple
00:31:40But McIntyre able to roll under the bottom rope and this one rolls on this is actually incredible and see him pop
00:31:46I don't if you saw moments ago Corey Punk was laughing Punk was laughing at the destruction that's happening here
00:31:53Just feet away from us
00:32:01Punk now
00:32:16This is unreal McIntyre
00:32:19Instinctively now with a claymore coming in coming within an eyelash of victory, but see and Punk survives
00:32:36What an incredible match for me, I don't even know if we should call it a match. I mean, this is a fight
00:32:41This is a brawl
00:32:44However, you describe it it is quickly becoming
00:32:48Unforgettable and McIntyre looking to end it and McIntyre once again with Punk in trouble McIntyre looking for another claymore
00:33:03Does it have it in him to finish it
00:33:05We saw this in fashion Berlin
00:33:07Going for a sharpshooter. I believe here and he's got it in and remember McIntyre tap he tapped in Berlin
00:33:14He tapped out to this in Berlin if you ask McIntyre drew out smarted Punk in Berlin
00:33:20But right now center of the ring inside the cell McIntyre is counting down the seconds before he submits
00:33:31Remember ropes will not break
00:33:35And now using a wrench and pounding away with the wrench to Punk and Punk forced to break the hold
00:33:41You know, there are medical staff here at ringside Corey
00:33:44They can do nothing to stop this all they can do is look on as McIntyre continues to barbarically
00:33:51Brutalize Punk McIntyre trying to carve up CM Punk's face like a jack-o'-lantern
00:33:57It is hell on earth inside hell in a cell for both Drew McIntyre and CM Punk
00:34:06And
00:34:11Listen this is a an understandable decision by Sean Bennett
00:34:15Just trying to to wipe the blood out of the eyes of the superstars so that they can continue
00:34:19So that they can do their best to protect themselves for potential catastrophe
00:34:24But that's all you can hope for
00:34:27And
00:34:31McIntyre's expression changing Punk's expression change it as well
00:34:39And now pop with the right hand and McIntyre as well
00:34:53McIntyre
00:34:57Old-school brawl, here we go future shot future shot
00:35:01Which is what injured Punk in the rumble and now Punk with McIntyre up top lands on his feet and a big chop to Punk
00:35:16Kick from Punk both men down
00:35:20critical moment now in this match
00:35:23Between these warriors these veterans
00:35:28It all began
00:35:30Last November where the return of CM Punk to WWE at Survivor Series and that ticked off a lot of superstars
00:35:38including Drew McIntyre who believe Punk wanted to
00:35:42Kill this business that CM Punk had no business being back in WWE
00:35:47the company had buried for a decade and that has driven us to tonight and the trip the final match in this trilogy between
00:35:54Punk and McIntyre and in some twisted way Drew McIntyre feels that he's doing the right thing by all of
00:36:01WWE by eliminating Punk once
00:36:05The WWE Universe certainly doesn't seem to agree, but you can't tell McIntyre otherwise
00:36:09As
00:36:13Intense a match as you'll ever see McIntyre now just powering up
00:36:18Oh
00:36:36My
00:36:37God first off was the power of McIntyre and then it was this impact both men
00:36:43Crashing to the table and everything they put their bodies through here this match
00:36:49The worst of that landing of the exchange was it McIntyre was it Punk drew obviously the first to stir
00:36:59Punk has not moved
00:37:02McIntyre must get Punk back in the ring for a pinfall or a tap-out
00:37:09What these two men are putting themselves through tonight
00:37:14Well you and I have talked all day about all the history in pro-wrestling in Atlanta
00:37:18But the last battle of Atlanta between Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer
00:37:22This may be setting a whole new standard of brutality in this business and now McIntyre grabbing the steel steps now
00:37:31Punk doesn't move Corey see if Punk has not moved and I don't know if he's gonna start Paul. I'm starting to get worried
00:37:37Punk is a sitting duck these guys in Macintyre. He can't even pick up the steps
00:37:43They're superstars, but at the end of the day. They're damn human beings Cole
00:37:50McIntyre gonna try one more time to lift those very
00:37:54insanely heavy steel steps and Cruz right here in front of us look at the
00:37:58Lacerations at the welds on the back of Drew McIntyre and McIntyre doing everything you can to lift those steel steps up
00:38:06McIntyre now climbing one step, and he's gonna toss
00:38:11No idea McIntyre can't even get the steps in the ring his back is absolutely killing him
00:38:22McIntyre doing his best to soldier forward to continue this onslaught on CM Punk
00:38:28Oh
00:38:32Thank God punks move yeah punk finally finally able to make it to his knees
00:38:37But punk he's got it just that look in his eyes. There's almost one of almost defeat Cory
00:38:43It's like how much more can I put myself through but punk won't accept defeat Cole. That's what worries me
00:38:48That's why I'm grateful Sean Bennett's in there because punk won't quit until his heart stops or until the lights go out and punk can't
00:38:55Continue and McIntyre now just collapses in the ring both men are down and what has been an unbelievable
00:39:01Unbelievably physical match that has taken an unbelievable toll on both of these men
00:39:26I don't have the words I
00:39:29do
00:39:30Somebody win this damn match and end this brutality. That's what has to happen here
00:39:39When the match is continuing we know the goal for both superstars was to end the other's career
00:39:43The match is still going on and I guarantee you both of them are flirting with career-threatening injury
00:39:49Yeah, but these are two men that don't need this Cory
00:39:55Oh
00:40:15Punk is alive, but I don't think punks anywhere close to getting back into this fight
00:40:19Oh, look at this white noise again how high on punks back. He lands listen
00:40:26Goodness impact that echoed throughout the State Farm Arena
00:40:31And it's getting to the point in this matchup where the WWE Universe is getting uncomfortable Cole
00:40:35It feels uncomfortable in this building right now. It's like we're witnessing something
00:40:40We're not supposed to be seen and again Corey, but I said before these men have accomplished so much in their careers
00:40:45Multiple time world champions and none of it means a damn thing if they can't walk out of here on their own power
00:40:50Well, we said it before this match when you leave the hell in a cell you're never the same your body's never the same
00:40:57Your career is never the same
00:41:01Drew McIntyre with CM Punk on his knees
00:41:10Looking for one final blow to take out punk here tonight at bad blood
00:41:20Oh
00:41:29Punk is cranking with every fiber in his being
00:41:44The face of McIntyre
00:41:50Oh
00:42:03McIntyre begging McIntyre pleading
00:42:14And a low blow the referee can do nothing about it
00:42:20And that was apropos because remember what punk did to McIntyre to cost him the world title a low
00:42:28blow
00:42:30as an official in a referee shirt
00:42:35Punk took just a moment too long
00:42:39Perhaps punk was savoring on the fact he was delivering on his promise that McIntyre would pray to CM Punk tonight
00:42:46But the Scottish warrior had other plans it went low
00:43:05And McIntyre now
00:43:16One can only imagine
00:43:37The ultimate
00:43:42Plastic beads the kind of beads that the bracelet
00:43:47So much to see a pump were made up through McIntyre
00:43:51Symbolically pouring it all over
00:44:06McIntyre's fine first endless steps
00:44:09Oh
00:44:15It's got a chain
00:44:17Raffi to chain around his knee
00:44:20How can McIntyre even function what the hell is punk even thinking?
00:44:33McIntyre let his personal feelings get in the way of finishing the job
00:44:40He
00:44:41Got a little too cute at the end and it cost him and I'll see him punk looking to put McIntyre away
00:44:49You don't mess with a man's family
00:44:52Remember what McIntyre did to punk a couple of nights after bashing Berlin when he ripped the bracelet
00:44:58Plus
00:45:09To the chain
00:45:18Here is your winner
00:45:21See
00:45:27Prediction comes true
00:45:31McIntyre on his knees not praying to God not praying to Satan
00:45:38But pray to one
00:45:40see
00:45:42punk
00:45:51Look at the mat. It looks like a crime scene
00:46:04Let's relive a few of the
00:46:07most brutal
00:46:10From Drew McIntyre putting CM Punk down surely the end
00:46:16Disagree
00:46:21For about three or four minutes after he went through the table and this is where
00:46:27Drew got caught
00:46:30You don't mess with a man's family. Not his wife. Not even his job
00:46:36Only have yourself to blame drew McIntyre spine first on the steel
00:46:41CM Punk
00:46:43with payback of his own
00:46:46before an epic
00:46:48cathartic
00:46:50PS
00:47:02Tonight in the devil's playground, there's only room for one bully see
00:47:12See if pop said I'm going to war why
00:47:18Because the devil told me to
00:47:43Ever the rebel
00:47:47Ever the controversial warrior
00:47:55Tonight the second city saint is the second city devil
00:48:06Let's take another look at these closing moments again
00:48:09First the symbolic beads being stumped down the gullet of drew McIntyre
00:48:16Before CM Punk delivers a final go to sleep with a chain-wrapped
00:48:23knee
00:48:26To finally exhaust the energy of the Scottish psychopath
00:48:32The symbolic slamming on the door on what has been an incredible trilogy
00:48:46Both men on CM Punk can't even stand punk collapsing in the aisle way
00:48:53Look at that
00:48:55Both men on CM Punk can't even stand punk collapsing in the aisle way
00:49:02from the exhaustion
00:49:03The physicality the loss of blood in this match and I listen I understand how proud of a human being CM Punk is
00:49:11The damage bill let them help you. You just put your life your body on the line and you want
00:49:19General manager Adam Pearce was out there along with other officials and EMTs
00:49:25Always a proud man wants to desperately walk back to the locker room
00:49:29If you're Drew McIntyre, well, what would you possibly be thinking right now after ten months of poking the bees nests you've finally got your ass kicked by CM Punk
00:49:36If you're Drew McIntyre, well, what would you possibly be thinking right now after ten months of poking the bees nests you've finally got your ass kicked by CM Punk
00:49:58You finally got your comeuppance
00:50:01Now what pump being administered oxygen now after after that matchup
00:50:07The disappointment that McIntyre must be feeling
00:50:12And never mind the mental anguish, how about the physical pain?
00:50:17Both of these superstars bodies undoubtedly wrapped with agony
00:50:25And I don't know if you've got that gold
00:50:27In this moment, yes for his wife, that's what this is all about
00:50:57You

00:52:55You know what happened here in 1996
00:52:57Kurt Angle won a gold medal for the US Olympics team with a
00:53:02Broken freaking neck. Well, ladies and gentlemen come hell or high water
00:53:06She is out to redeem her spot at the top Bailey will battle the force of fury and defending
00:53:12WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax and a chance to reclaim the title right after this break
00:53:16Here's a look at the coachless path that is divided both homes and friends to the lead-up to this matchup
00:53:22You
00:53:29Please welcome my bestie the Queen
00:53:48Tiffany you're so good to me. I really appreciate you
00:53:52But my style's more destruction.
00:53:56And I proved that at SummerSlam when I destroyed Bayley.
00:54:01From the second rope with an annihilator by the queen of the ring,
00:54:06who now calls herself your WWE Women's Champion.
00:54:12Everyone in that locker room has a good reason to fear me.
00:54:17Ding dong, you idiot.
00:54:19I am happy that you're feeling confident.
00:54:22But you needed Tiffany to win your title at SummerSlam.
00:54:27Tiffany running down to the ring.
00:54:30Bayley knocks her off the apron.
00:54:32Nia looking to take advantage of Tiffany rushing out here.
00:54:37So I want my rematch.
00:54:39You're in no position to demand anything from me.
00:54:44Y'all know I ain't gonna sit back and let y'all attack.
00:54:47My bae, uh-uh, ain't gonna happen today.
00:54:50So what do you say?
00:54:51You put your money where your big old mouth is and let's gloat.
00:54:56Okay, okay, why don't you two face Tiffany and I,
00:54:59and whoever gets the win can face me at that one.
00:55:04Tiffany with a small talk into her own partner.
00:55:07I'm gonna get a penis.
00:55:09Is that 1D?
00:55:11Oh, no.
00:55:13Wait a minute, keep your eyes on Naomi.
00:55:15Bayley's in the pin as well.
00:55:17Who won?
00:55:18Who's Nia gonna defend against in Atlanta?
00:55:22You both pinned Nia, but there can only be one.
00:55:25So you two will go one-on-one,
00:55:28and the winner gets Nia Jax in the bad part.
00:55:33This one's gonna come down to which of these two superstars
00:55:35was better able to marginalize the emotion
00:55:38of being in the ring with a good friend.
00:55:42Wide elbow connecting.
00:55:44Cover now.
00:55:45Come on, Naomi.
00:55:49Let's go, Queen.
00:55:50Nia, you're on to become one of the most dominant women
00:55:54in all of WWE,
00:55:56but there are two people that can take that from you.
00:55:59One of them is me, and the second is Tiffany Stratton.
00:56:03And the moment she gets tired of you talking down to her...
00:56:06If this ends bad for me...
00:56:08...berating her...
00:56:09...this will end really bad for you.
00:56:13She's gonna become the new WWE Women's Champion.
00:56:17I'm sorry, I don't need this briefcase to beat Nia.
00:56:20Excuse me?
00:56:22You know what?
00:56:23Why don't you bow down to your queen?
00:56:26You know what, Tiff?
00:56:28I'd rather bow down to a queen
00:56:30than patronize a stupid bitch.
00:56:33Oh, wow!
00:56:36Come on!
00:56:42Naomi's sending a message to the champion.
00:57:01Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:57:04WWE Hall of Famer,
00:57:07Jaclyn!
00:57:14Lillian Garcia!
00:57:24And two-time WWE Hall of Famer,
00:57:28Booker T!
00:57:31You can catch Booker T
00:57:33each and every Tuesday night on NXT.
00:57:36Now in their new home, The CW.
00:57:38But right now, let's send it over to the one and only
00:57:41Kathy Taylor.
00:57:45Corey, let me tell you,
00:57:46this VIP suite is absolutely electric.
00:57:49We've got some 11 legends here,
00:57:51some WWE Hall of Famers.
00:57:53We have the host of the most,
00:57:54the host of Bad Blood, Naomi.
00:57:57The Women's Tag Team Champions,
00:57:59Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.
00:58:01Tell me about this suite,
00:58:02because it seems like everybody is in here.
00:58:04Everybody is here.
00:58:05We brought everybody out to ACL.
00:58:07We got Mickie James, Pete Rosenberg.
00:58:11We got DDP in the house.
00:58:14I got X-Prox and my brother back there!
00:58:17Salute!
00:58:18Yahoo!
00:58:23Well, it is so much fun up here,
00:58:24and I have to ask you guys,
00:58:25which match are you most looking forward to seeing tonight?
00:58:30I would say Liv and Rhea.
00:58:34Man, I am so pumped to see my girl, Bayley,
00:58:37do what she came to do tonight.
00:58:38Team Bay all day, every day.
00:58:40That's my girl.
00:58:41I got her back, and she gonna do it tonight.
00:58:43I've got something to say about that.
00:58:45I wish her the best of luck.
00:58:48Well, I think she heard that loud and clear.
00:58:49Let's send it out to the arena.
00:58:55DDP, Cole.
00:58:59Let's go.
00:59:16Ladies and gentlemen, that is Bayley.
00:59:18Bayley looking to regain the WWE Women's Championship.
00:59:22She lost to Nia Jax back at SummerSlam.
00:59:26Bayley beat her best friend Naomi
00:59:28to qualify for this matchup tonight.
00:59:31Corey, what does Bayley need to do
00:59:33to knock off Nia in this matchup?
00:59:35Bayley needs to tap into her mean streak.
00:59:38We know Bayley has one.
00:59:40We haven't seen it lately,
00:59:41but in the past,
00:59:42think back to the Damage Control days,
00:59:44Bayley could get downright ruthless
00:59:46when she needed to be.
00:59:47She's already got the speed advantage,
00:59:49perhaps an experience advantage.
00:59:50Bayley knows how to thrive in high-stakes situations.
00:59:54But Nia Jax ain't going down without a fight.
00:59:59Bad Blood is powered in part by C4 Energy,
01:00:03the official energy drink of WWE.
01:00:05It head-starred an Amazon Prime Big Deal days,
01:00:08grabbed early deals at C4 Energy October 6th through the 9th.
01:00:14Bayley certainly basking in the adulation
01:00:17of the WWE Universe here in Atlanta,
01:00:19but the real work begins now.
01:00:23And there is the queen of the ring,
01:00:27NinjaNYO.
01:00:49Well this has been some very exciting
01:00:51Nia Jax, the current WWE Women's Champion.
01:01:00Again, she beat Bayley at SummerSlam.
01:01:05And tonight looks to end this rivalry once and for all.
01:01:10To do that, Cole, Nia Jax simply needs to stick with what brought her to the dance.
01:01:15Nia is in the best physical shape of her career.
01:01:18Her confidence is at an all-time high.
01:01:21Now, if Nia can tune out Tiffany Stratton, who she's been worried about for seemingly
01:01:26months now, Nia needs to focus on the task at hand, who is Bayley.
01:01:30If Nia is able to do that, we're gonna be calling and still in a few minutes.

01:02:02The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Women's Championship!
01:02:16Introducing the challenger, from San Jose, California, Bayley!
01:02:33And her opponent, from San Diego, California, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Nia Jax!
01:02:45Bayley, the challenger, Nia Jax, the champion, WWE Bad Blood, live tonight in Atlanta, nearly
01:03:0217,000 people at the State Farm Arena.
01:03:07The official in this matchup, Jessica Carr.
01:03:10Again, why is Nia Jax better than ever at this point in her career, Corey?
01:03:15Because Nia Jax, and I spoke at length, when she returned to WWE, the time away from WWE,
01:03:21truly transformed Nia Jax on a human level.
01:03:25She realized, she needs to put in the work.
01:03:27Things aren't gonna come easy to you, certainly not success in WWE.
01:03:30And she starts out power-
01:03:31Oh, baby!
01:03:32Bayley then, splashing her in the corner.
01:03:35Nia Jax came out hot, and she's dominating Bayley now.
01:03:40Having her way.
01:03:41And this is a risky proposition for Nia, it's smart, I understand it, for all this power
01:03:45at the challenger in the early moments, look to end this one quickly.
01:03:49However, we've seen, Bayley's not afraid of the deep waters.
01:03:52Bayley can drag this one out and try to exhaust Nia Jax.
01:03:55Yeah, Bayley is resilient as they come, as she runs into a clothesline.
01:04:00Cover now by Jax, and Bayley able to kick out.
01:04:04What we just saw may come back to bite Nia.
01:04:07Nia took Bayley out with this clothesline.
01:04:10This is one of the most thunderous clotheslines Nia's ever delivered.
01:04:13But she was arrogant on the pinfall attempt.
01:04:16You can't get arrogant with someone as talented and experienced as Bayley.
01:04:19Arm had slipped under the chin into a choke, and now Nia Jax continues to have her way
01:04:24with Bayley in the early going of this matchup.
01:04:26And again, a splash in the corner, and Bayley just collapses to the mat.
01:04:32You have to scrape Bayley off the mat after this one.
01:04:38And now Jax sending Bayley across the ring.
01:04:41Nia again just bulldozing through the challenger.
01:04:46And this has been a dominant first few minutes for the champion.
01:04:51This is a message, Cole.
01:04:52This is a message from Queen Nia Jax to the entire roster.
01:05:00Bayley trying to fight back, but Nia now into a bear hug.
01:05:04Trying to suck the breath and the life out of Bayley.
01:05:07And Nia taking a few steps backward, making sure she is in the dead center of the ring.
01:05:12Bayley is going to have to fight her way out of this bear hug.
01:05:14And Bayley now slips underneath, looking for a sunset flip.
01:05:17Now shoulders down for Nia, able to kick out at two.
01:05:20And now Nia quickly-
01:05:21Wow! I like this!
01:05:24Yeah, Nia, very- you seldom see her go for a submission.
01:05:27Listen, if you want- you have to evolve as a superstar in WWE, particularly as a champion.
01:05:32Nia adding new wrinkles to her repertoire is going to serve her very well.
01:05:35Almost Lion Tamer-like here for Nia Jax on Bayley.
01:05:40Bayley trying to drag herself to the bottom rope and force a break.
01:05:44And again, not anyone can just slap on a submission to great effect.
01:05:47It takes time to master submissions.
01:05:48It's an art form.
01:05:50And again-
01:05:50Nia clearly putting in the work.
01:05:53And again, Corey, the advantage is Nia Jax.
01:05:57Because Bayley has to pin or submit the champ.
01:05:59Count outs, disqualifications don't help Bayley at all.
01:06:06This has been a Nets-like thrashing by Nia Jax early on in this match against Bayley.
01:06:11I should have put money on how long it would take you to mention it.
01:06:14Because Jax looks to crank Bayley's head clean off her shoulders
01:06:17in this modified camel-clutch submission.
01:06:19And now Bayley trying to fight back to her feet here.
01:06:22Nia Jax in control.
01:06:23Well, we talked about this earlier.
01:06:25Very resilient Bayley.
01:06:28Multi-time champion.
01:06:30Bayley up off to the apron.
01:06:32Slides underneath Nia Jax.
01:06:33Now looking to use her quickness here against Nia.
01:06:36Sends Nia through the second rope to the floor.
01:06:37And I imagine that's what Bayley wanted to do off of the opening bell.
01:06:40Utilize her quickness.
01:06:41Be evasive.
01:06:42But Bayley hasn't had a chance.
01:06:44Leg drop to the back of the neck.
01:06:48And now the champion in retreat.
01:06:49Here comes Bayley.
01:06:51And Nia wisely moved out of harm's way.
01:06:53I think Bayley was going for the suicide dive.
01:06:55And Nia able to move into the corner.
01:06:57Bayley, though, with a baseball slide.
01:06:59Driving Nia Jax to the floor.
01:07:01And now pounding away is Bayley.
01:07:03That comes with experience.
01:07:04Bayley realizing the situation changed mid-maneuver.
01:07:07She called an audible and still delivered a drop kick to the champion.
01:07:11Now Nia sent into the ring.
01:07:13Bayley follows it up.
01:07:16And Bayley cover.
01:07:17Now on the chance.
01:07:17Hook to the leg.
01:07:18Nia forced to kick out.
01:07:20Bayley, who is the, was the, or still holds the record as the longest reigning SmackDown
01:07:26Women's Champion of all time.
01:07:27380 days.
01:07:30She knows how to swim with the sharks when she needs to.
01:07:35Oh, and hanging Nia up on the second rope.
01:07:39The champion now in trouble.
01:07:41Here comes the challenger.
01:07:42Bayley with a suicide dive, taking Nia down.
01:07:45I actually think Bayley might have gotten the worst of that exchange.
01:07:48Running into a brick wall.
01:07:55And now Bayley trying to muscle Nia Jax back inside of the ring.
01:07:58To your point earlier, Bayley realizing champion's advantage in effect.
01:08:02Pinfall or submission only if Bayley wants to become champion.
01:08:11This is the pace that benefits Nia Jax.
01:08:13Slow, methodical, deliberate.
01:08:16Up into it.
01:08:18Don't beat Bayley out of the top turnbuckle.
01:08:24Oh, and followed it up with a splash.
01:08:28Bayley has taken a ton of punishment to this point.
01:08:32Now this is the pace that Nia likes.
01:08:34And now she's got Bayley in position, perhaps for the annihilator.
01:08:38Her finishing move has taken out so, and Bayley though knows it's coming.
01:08:42Quickly back to her feet.
01:08:43And now Bayley pounding away at Nia.
01:08:45Desperately trying to chop at the knees, the hamstrings of the champion.
01:08:49Trying to soften up Nia Jax.
01:08:51Oh, boy.
01:08:56We've seen this before, Cole.
01:08:58And she pulled it off again.
01:09:00She did this at SummerSlam.
01:09:04Nia up top.
01:09:05Oh, and Bayley.
01:09:06Oh, no, no, no.
01:09:07Wait a minute.
01:09:07I think Nia reversed into it.
01:09:09You're right, Nia.
01:09:09Almost a hurricanrana.
01:09:10Nia threw her own right jab.
01:09:11And now a belly to belly.
01:09:13Cover.
01:09:14Oh, Bayley.
01:09:15Hook of the leg and a kick out.
01:09:16I would love to see a replay of that.
01:09:18I believe you're right, Cole.
01:09:20Bayley took just a little too long before driving Nia down.
01:09:24Nia was able to shift her weight and propel Bayley forward.
01:09:29Let's take a look at this.
01:09:30Here it is again.
01:09:32She tried a hurricanrana.
01:09:33And whatever it was, it was effective.
01:09:35If you noticed, Nia had her feet hooked on the inside of Bayley's stomach.
01:09:39Using those as anchor points before shifting her weight and propelling the challenger.
01:09:44Brilliantly done by Nia Jax.
01:09:45And then delivered the belly to belly.
01:09:47It's not about style points all the time.
01:09:49It's about how effective a move is.
01:09:51I mean, it's just about dominating your opponent, which is Nia's doing right now.
01:09:58Now, Bayley just ripped down to the mat.
01:10:01You have to wonder, is the champion getting frustrated at this point?
01:10:04Well, maybe because Bayley just moved out of the way.
01:10:07Nia cannot afford to get sloppy.
01:10:09Not against somebody as dangerous and talented and skilled as Bayley.
01:10:13And Bayley now with a righty knee to the champion.
01:10:16And Bayley's starting to get confident now.
01:10:18She's starting to feel it.
01:10:19She believes she's in the driver's seat.
01:10:24Nia trying to make it back to her feet.
01:10:26Here comes Bayley again.
01:10:27Over the top.
01:10:28Sunset flip bomb.
01:10:30Didn't get all of it, but Nia fell right on top of Bayley.
01:10:33Bayley could be hurt.
01:10:35I think you're right.
01:10:35That was instinctive.
01:10:37Bayley realizing, hey, Nia's in position for a move I use very well.
01:10:41What's concerning is Bayley grabbed her leg.
01:10:44And remember, the history of knee injuries for Bayley cost her at least a year of her career.
01:10:48And you got to be concerned with that.
01:10:49But Bayley now showing no ill effects of what happened in the corner.
01:10:53The adrenaline has clearly kicked in.
01:10:55Now pulsing through the challenger's veins.
01:10:58Again, Bayley knows what it means to thrive in high-pressure situations.
01:11:02The challenger from the top row.
01:11:04Bayley up top with the big elbow.
01:11:07Cover on Jax to take the title.
01:11:10And Jax kicks out and literally kicks out, tossing Bayley out of the ring.
01:11:14Kicked out with extreme authority.
01:11:17That is the type of power possessed by the WWE Women's Champion.
01:11:21As we take another look at the challenger, Bayley,
01:11:24with her homage to the macho man.
01:11:26The flying elbow right on the money.
01:11:29But Jax just too strong at this point.
01:11:32One of the things that I find interesting in this match is
01:11:36Nia and Bayley going outside their comfort zone.
01:11:38Oh, and Nia shoulder first into the steps.
01:11:42Maddy, and again, I know you threw attention to it moments ago,
01:11:46but Bayley again is clutching it.
01:11:47I believe her right ankle, her shin area.
01:11:49I'm not entirely sure what it is that's bothering her,
01:11:52but it could be a factor as this match progresses.
01:11:54She hit hard off that Sunset Cliff Powerbomb,
01:11:56and then Nia landed on top of her.
01:11:58And now Bayley, elbow to the spine, driving Nia.
01:12:02Now here's the situation.
01:12:03Nia's down.
01:12:04Bayley's got to move Nia into the ring in order to win the title.
01:12:10Jessica Carr's down at six right now.
01:12:14Oh, she's continuing the count.
01:12:16Bayley broke it for herself.
01:12:18And now Bayley realizes she's got to go back outside the ring
01:12:21so the count can reset.
01:12:23And this is where Bayley's thinking of the big picture.
01:12:28She would have gotten the winner's purse for tonight,
01:12:30but she wouldn't have become WWE Women's Champion,
01:12:32which is the ultimate goal
01:12:33for all the women on the roster here.
01:12:34Sledgehammer-like blow to the gut by Nia Jax.
01:12:41Oh, dear.
01:12:41Oh, no.
01:12:42And now Nia with Bayley up top.
01:12:46Powerbombing Bayley onto the steel steps.
01:12:50Not once.
01:12:51Oh, no.
01:12:52Oh, gosh.
01:12:52Slinging her into the barricade.
01:12:54Blatant disregard for the well-being of the role model.
01:12:59It's becoming the MO of Nia Jax.
01:13:02And Bayley looks like this one's just about over, Cole.
01:13:16I don't know if I agree with this decision by the champion.
01:13:20Well, she is the queen.
01:13:22She is the WWE Champion.
01:13:24And she's dominating right now.
01:13:25But she is in there with the first ever
01:13:28Women's Grand Slam Champion in WWE.
01:13:32That's not just some footnote that can be overlooked.
01:13:34That is true WWE history that Bayley has earned.
01:13:37Well, Nia toying with her prey here.
01:13:40Oh, no.
01:13:41Nice takedown by Bayley.
01:13:43Oh, wait a minute, Nia.
01:13:44Samoan dropped it.
01:13:46And Nia kicked out by Bayley.
01:13:47That was odd.
01:13:51But Nia Jax delivered the offense.
01:13:53And this is about the WWE Women's Championship.
01:13:55Let's take another look at this.
01:13:57First the powerbomb on the steel ring stairs.
01:14:01Caused into the barricade.
01:14:03And then here, Nia Jax, one of the pop up Samoan drop.
01:14:07It looks like Bayley tried to adjust, maybe counter or block.
01:14:10But Jax just too strong.
01:14:11And I thought that's what Bayley did.
01:14:12I thought she countered there.
01:14:13And now Bayley back to her feet.
01:14:15And Nia Jax now lands on her feet, lifts Bayley up.
01:14:19Power game being played by the champion.
01:14:21And a back elbow just drops Bayley.
01:14:23Some rather impressive agility being displayed by Nia Jax.
01:14:27And Bayley now has got Nia up into a Samoan drop.
01:14:31How?
01:14:32Are you kidding me?
01:14:34Desperation.
01:14:35Samoan drop by Bayley.
01:14:38Or did Bayley just empty her tank?
01:14:40Cover here for the title.
01:14:42And Nia Jax kicks out and drops Bayley right on the back of the head of the official Jessica Carr.
01:14:48Just incidental contact.
01:14:49I think Jessica is going to be just fine.
01:14:51But Nia Jax like a.
01:14:53Oh, no.
01:14:54I don't think she's going to be fine now.
01:14:57Nia Jax.
01:15:02Falling on the official.
01:15:05And again, that was incidental.
01:15:06That was not malicious from the champion.
01:15:08But the bottom line is the officials out in the ring.
01:15:11And now Bayley.
01:15:14Pop up stunner from Bayley.
01:15:16And Bayley now throws plant to Nia.
01:15:19Cover.
01:15:19She could have the title.
01:15:20Wiping the officials down.
01:15:22Jess wake up.
01:15:23One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
01:15:25Bayley had the championship won.
01:15:28But the official.
01:15:32It's going to happen.
01:15:34It's going to happen.
01:15:35Missed money in the bank.
01:15:37Headed to the ring.
01:15:38Bayley though.
01:15:39Feature there.
01:15:40Tiffany struck with a briefcase to Bayley.
01:15:43And now what does Tiffany do?
01:15:45Does she cash in for a triple threat?
01:15:48Well, there's no official to give the briefcase to.
01:15:53Are you okay?
01:15:53Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:15:59Well, Jessica Carr now realizing the contracts in the ring as she comes to.
01:16:04And uh-oh.
01:16:06Tiffany caught red-handed.
01:16:16Was Tiffany going to betray Nia?
01:16:20It doesn't matter if she was or she wasn't.
01:16:22Nia thinks she was.
01:16:23I shouldn't hold my breath.
01:16:25I wasn't going to cash in.
01:16:26I shouldn't have cashed in.
01:16:28Tiffany just said, I wasn't going to cash in.
01:16:30I promise.
01:16:30And Bayley now driving Nia to Tiffany.
01:16:32Roll up for the championship.
01:16:34Bayley's got her.
01:16:35Kick out by Nia.
01:16:38So close.
01:16:39I don't know if there was a little hitch in Jessica Carr's shoulder,
01:16:42but that count might've been it.
01:16:44Had Jess not been smashed by the champion a few moments ago.
01:16:48Bayley sidesteps Nia again down to the mat.
01:16:50Bayley now with an opportunity.
01:16:54And now Bayley, the challenger, making the long climb to the top rope yet again.
01:16:59It's threatened now.
01:17:00Briefcase to Bayley.
01:17:01Just shoved it back at Tiffany.
01:17:03Distraction, however, cost Bayley.
01:17:05A right hand by Nia.
01:17:09Oh, good God.
01:17:10And Nia for the second rope.
01:17:12Bayley high above the ring.
01:17:14Samoa drop to Bayley.
01:17:16And once again, because of the distraction by Tiffany's strike,
01:17:25Nia Jax can call herself champion.
01:17:31Here is your winner and still the WWE Women's Champion, Nia Jax.
01:17:45The bottom line here is that we can speculate all we want.
01:17:48The only person who knows for sure what the goal was is Tiffany Stratton.
01:17:53Was she going to cash in?
01:17:54Was she not?
01:17:55We may never know.
01:17:57The fact is Nia thought she was.
01:17:59It caused a momentary distraction.
01:18:01Bayley almost capitalized.
01:18:03But the queen is so freaking powerful, Nia was able to overcome.
01:18:09And again, whether Tiff was going to cash in or not,
01:18:11it doesn't matter because Nia keeps the title.
01:18:13This is what happened here now.
01:18:14Jessica Carr taken out as Nia Jax collapses on her.
01:18:18And then we thought it was finally going to be Tiffany time.
01:18:20It seemed that way.
01:18:22Tiffany making a beeline for the ring.
01:18:24Notice she clocks Bayley with the briefcase.
01:18:27Jessica Carr, who was unconscious, I think assumed Tiffany wanted to cash in.
01:18:33But there you see Nia realizing, oh my goodness, the betrayal.
01:18:39But Nia would rally, deliver a thunderous Samoan drop
01:18:44from the second rope.
01:18:46And then the end, the annihilator.
01:18:55Nia Jax is the champion.
