00:00This is what works out of the game!
00:14I need Steve B.
00:16The demons in your dreams.
00:19I need Steve B.
00:21Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rhea Ripley!
00:36Rhea Ripley sent a strong message out there recently, reminding Bianca Belair and the world
00:44that when she loses something that she loves, she'll stop at nothing to get it back.
00:51I'll tell you right now, Joe Test, some superstars tend to crumble in the biggest of spotlights.
00:57Rhea Ripley does the opposite.
01:00One of the greatest matches I've ever seen in my entire life two years ago.
01:05WrestleMania 39 SoFi Stadium.
01:08Rhea bloody Ripley against the great Charlotte Flair, who emerged victorious.
01:14This woman, and she has simply continued to improve since then.
01:20It is going to take a similarly Herculean effort from Rhea Ripley if she is going to be victorious
01:29against her two great opponents, the champ Io Sky and, of course, the incomparable Bianca Belair
01:37Rhea in triple threat action at WrestleMania 41.
01:41But if anyone can pull it off, Rhea bloody Ripley down.
01:46All 17,000 here sense it.
01:50You feel it.
01:51When she enters the arena, the air changes.
01:55How fast are gonna work at a world to be consigo?
01:57What are you going to work at a world to be courageous
01:58I need safety.
01:59and I need safety.
02:00whip to heaven and –
02:02I need safety.
02:07I need safety for you.
02:10Wo Hardy!
02:13Mandate!
02:14gefunden!
02:15Fundy!
02:17Fundy!
02:18Fundy!
02:20Sunday, it marks my sixth Wrestlemania.
02:25Yeah.
02:27And each time I've walked into some sort of championship match,
02:31but honestly, this one,
02:34this one is probably the most important to me.
02:42Because it's true, you know, I,
02:44I let myself get distracted by Bianca Belair,
02:48and I, I lost my Women's World Championship
02:51right before Wrestlemania, that's my bad.
02:59So, you know, I could, I'm not going to,
03:03but I could be coming out here right now
03:06to talk about the last few weeks,
03:07complain, moan, make excuses,
03:10but nah, I'm not gonna do that,
03:12because there's no point talking about the past anymore.
03:14Sunday, Sunday I get back what I want,
03:22and I do what I have to do.
03:28Rhea Bloody Ripley is walking out of Wrestlemania,
03:33your three-time Women's World Champion!
03:37I think the current champ clearly disagrees with that statement.
03:58Yeah, this is a woman who has been disrespected
04:01and overlooked too many times
04:03over the past few weeks.
04:05By some quarters, they've treated it
04:07as a foregone conclusion
04:09that Wrestlemania 41
04:12will be a crowning moment
04:14for either Rhea Bloody Ripley
04:15or Bianca Belair.
04:18To those people, I say,
04:19are you absolutely insane?
04:22Io Sky is one of the greatest
04:23greatest this industry has ever seen.
04:25She is the reigning champ
04:27for a reason.
04:44And she wants something to say.
04:45She can't even get a word out
04:57before the EST music hits.
05:00And once again, to me, Joe,
05:02that is a level of disrespect.
05:04I agree!
05:05At least 30 seconds on the microphone
05:08to let her thoughts out there.
05:11It's a continuous theme
05:13when it comes to this trio.
05:14of just dismissing Io Sky.
05:17Seeing her as nothing but a nuisance
05:20who's holding on to the prize
05:21that they want to take.
05:24And look at her face!
05:28Now we've mentioned Rhea Bloody Ripley here.
05:31It has to be said,
05:32Bianca Belair is another one
05:34who simply gets better
05:36when it comes to performances
05:38at Wrestlemania.
05:40She has wowed us numerous times
05:42over the past several years
05:44and you know she's bringing her A-game
05:46on Wrestlemania Sunday.
05:47So, y'all two...
05:52Y'all two...
05:55Okay.
06:04So, y'all two thought
06:05y'all was gonna come on SmackDown,
06:07drop my name,
06:07and I wasn't gonna show up?
06:09No, I was definitely
06:11showin' up tonight.
06:18Y'all showin' up tonight
06:19because tonight
06:20might actually be my last night
06:21on SmackDown for a while
06:22because after Wrestlemania,
06:25I'm walkin' out
06:26as champion.
06:31And after what y'all two
06:33don't put me through,
06:34I don't plan on lettin' it go
06:35anytime soon.
06:37Are you kidding me?
06:45Rhea can't believe it.
06:48Naomi?
06:52Hey, B.
06:55So, you finally decided
06:57to show up to SmackDown
06:58and you ain't gonna even
06:59try to talk to me?
07:00I done filled up
07:05your voicemail box,
07:07been callin' you like crazy,
07:09textin' you,
07:10and I know you got it
07:11cause it said,
07:12deliver.
07:12Deliver.
07:17Does our friendship
07:18mean so little to you?
07:23I ain't even wanna do this
07:25and have everybody
07:26in our business.
07:27I wanted to handle it
07:28in private.
07:29But since you wanna
07:31ignore me.
07:31No, no, no, no.
07:32We, we, we not doin' that, Naomi.
07:33You know exactly, you know.
07:35No, you know exactly
07:36why I'm not responding
07:37cause you know
07:37what you did.
07:39And I said what I said
07:40and I meant it.
07:44So, we, we not,

07:47We not doin' this right now.
07:48You care about Jade
07:49that much, huh?
07:51Not even just about Jade.
07:54She wasn't there for you
07:56like I was.
07:57I'ma finish what I started
08:07with her.
08:08And after that.
08:11You might not have to wait
08:12for tomorrow.
08:13Naomi dressed up
08:15like a bad crime scene
08:17while Jade Cargill
08:19is about to commit
08:20some heinous acts of her own.
08:22She says she wasn't there
08:23for you.
08:24Well, she's here now.
08:26The Storm.
08:27Proceed with caution.
08:29She's not listening.
08:31Jade Cargill.
08:32They're goin' at it.
08:33Tomorrow, Jade and Naomi
08:35and Naomi
08:35is gonna get away
08:36from that situation.
08:48Jade, this isn't about you.
08:51This is about me.
08:52Oh!
08:53Naomi comes back in the ring
08:55and attacks from behind.
08:56A cheap shot attack
08:57and it was Bianca Belak
08:59who in the middle
09:00of everything
09:01and this one has
09:02completely gone off the rails.
09:05Bianca and Rhea Broly.
09:07on the outside
09:08you have Jade and Naomi
09:10and meanwhile
09:11the champion
09:12stands back
09:13and says
09:14what is goin' on?
09:16Looking on
09:16completely perplexed
09:18at the castle roundup.
09:20Uh-oh!
09:21Over the moonsault
09:22down onto the floor!
09:24Everybody is wiped out
09:26by EO Sky!
09:29And Bianca
09:31the keystone
09:32bridging
09:33both of these
09:34Wrestlemania matches.
09:36but it's the current champ
09:38who refuses
09:39to accept
09:40the continued
09:41dismissal
09:42and disrespect.
09:44EO Sky
09:45points to the
09:46Wrestlemania sign
09:47as Naomi runs off.
09:49It'll be Rhea,
09:51Bianca,
