1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Welcome to the ring, it's rich and atom.

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Breaking down the fights with flair and passion.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Tag teams grappling belts are clashing.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Finishes and factions.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to a Royal Rumble special

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Finishes and Factions podcast with myself Rich and my friend Adam.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Adam welcome in.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Thank you very much.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
On this week's, on this particular episode because we are reviewing the Royal Rumble

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
we're going to do this ever so slightly different.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So the Royal Rumble as everybody knows is consisted of two Rumble matches each

12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
containing 30 superstars going in with one coming out with a guaranteed main event

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
at WrestleMania and we're going to cover both Rumble matches individually to go out

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,000
as episodes on their own and then cover the matches that come in the PLA

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
separately in our normal format.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Yeah, no, we thought we'd give this a slight opportunity to do some change.

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So you guys didn't have to sit through what could have been a four and a half hour podcast.

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Just looking for your favorite matches.

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So we've done this so you guys can go straight in for the for the meet over the veg first.

20
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
So I think without further ado, we will crack in with the women's Royal Rumble.

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Adam.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yes, we are doing this live watch along well, we're doing this watch along style.

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So the Rumble matches we will watch and you will get our reactions as it is being broadcast.

24
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Unfortunately, due to both of our work commitments, I was not able to sit up until three o'clock in the morning

25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
to watch both of these Rumbles and then go to work on Sunday.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So we've had to put this back 24 hours.

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:14,000
But hopefully by now you guys haven't seen as many spoilers as we have and you still get a little bit of excitement

28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
of what is coming to be the final Royal Rumble of Mr. John Signer,

29
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000
which I'm guessing we're going to see in the last Rumble of the match because the first Rumble is the women's.

30
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Yeah, so we are currently sat at eight minutes and 18 seconds into the prayer into the pay-per-view to watch the women's Royal Rumble.

31
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And yeah, I think we need to count down so that we're in sync here, Rich.

32
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
So take it away.

33
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,000
In three, two, one, let's get ready to Rumble. Go.

34
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I'm so excited for this.

35
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Oh, 100%. I mean, as it stands, women's Royal Rumble is the first to go in.

36
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And as we all know, it's two superstars entering to begin with and every two minutes another superstar will enter

37
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
until 30 superstars have entered and the only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over that top rope.

38
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:24,000
So going underneath or through the middle rope is not an elimination. You can come back in and play in the front.

39
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,000
100%. The women's Royal Rumble is something that has only been going since 2018.

40
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So this isn't, this is still a very new part of this event as far as we're concerned.

41
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
As we are watching, we are getting our first entry. Who is it? Who is it?

42
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Are you a Sky?

43
00:03:45,000 --> 00:04:02,000
EO Sky. Fantastic. So EO Sky has yet to win her first Rumble, but coming in at one of the most challenging spots to win from as being number one.

44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:12,000
This is her third Royal Rumble and she got five eliminations in the 2023 Rumble too. So this could be an interesting start off.

45
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:26,000
100%. So it'll be interesting to see who we have in the second entry spot, which we'll be seeing very, very shortly.

46
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Wonder if we can spot Green T-shirt guy.

47
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Do you know, I haven't seen him for a little while. I don't know if he's changed his T-shirt colour or anything like that.

48
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Although on previous episodes, one of the minor spoilers I saw for this pay-per-view is that somewhere in this pay-per-view there are people, there's somebody wearing, I'm sure it is an Aston Villa football strip.

49
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
The horrible buggers. Up the baggies. Up the baggies.

50
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Here we go for, is this entry number two or are we still doing it?

51
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:22,000
This guy. Planned to a wide angle of Lucas Oilfield Stadium, which is fucking huge, quite frankly.

52
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Hopefully he ends up in this cold. So yeah.

53
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:40,000
So hot. It's gonna be. Here we go.

54
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I recognise the entry theme, I'm just struggling to place it down. It's Liv Morgan.

55
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Entry number two is Liv Morgan.

56
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Already got a lot better and we've not even started wrestling yet.

57
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:08,000
100%. So this woman has completed, or competed, sorry, in every single women's Royal Rumble and has been the runner-up for the last two years.

58
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So could this be her year? Number two is going to be a hell of a journey, but she could possibly do it.

59
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So she would be, just fact checking myself very quickly, but she would be the first woman to win from spot number two if she wins this year.

60
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:46,000
EO Sky will not claim the same moniker as back in 2023, Rhea Ripley won from spot number one in that year's women's Royal Rumble.

61
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:59,000
So it's, she certainly, Liv Morgan, if nothing else, certainly has an opportunity to get her name in the history books for the Royal Rumble event.

62
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
But we now have a...

63
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
What was that, sorry?

64
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
She's wearing Dom's jacket.

65
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000
She's certainly wearing a jacket with Daddy Dom on it.

66
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And as good looking as that woman is, she could at least gain a little bit of taste.

67
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
The son of the late great Eddie Guerrero.

68
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
I'm sorry, Ray Mysterio, my bad.

69
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Easy to make that mistake though. Right, Bell's wrong, Matthew under way.

70
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Get it on. There's Green T-shirt guy.

71
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
He is, he's there.

72
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Yes, Green T-shirt guy's there. Woohoo.

73
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Go on, Morgan.

74
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
The amount of money that man must have spent on tickets over the years.

75
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:59,000
So there is a rumour that he is a family member of one of the wrestlers or one of the backstage workers who he gets free tickets or he got injured at a show or something and they gave him free tickets for life.

76
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Lucky fucker.

77
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Imagine getting hit by a chair at WWE Show as a paying customer and then going, you know what, we're really sorry that happened. Here's free tickets for life.

78
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Oh yeah, just...

79
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I'd hit myself with the chair if that was the reward.

80
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I mean, I wouldn't say that Miffy offered me that because I'd have just spent the money on tickets for WWE anyway.

81
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Yeah, pretty much. Money would have gone straight back in their pocket.

82
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Leo Sky taking control early in this match.

83
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Oh, she's on the outside.

84
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Oh.

85
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Oh.

86
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Could we have our first elimination already?

87
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,000
She is holding on.

88
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
She's jumping back over.

89
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Oh, over the top of Liv Morgan, roll three.

90
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Oh.

91
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Oh.

92
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
So while we look at this...

93
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Liv's on the outside.

94
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Oh, Liv's over the top rope.

95
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Oh.

96
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It is important to realise that the Royal Rumble match is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

97
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
So we're on the countdown for entry number three.

98
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Two, one, NOOOO.

99
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
And entry number three is...

100
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Is that Roxanne Perez?

101
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Yes.

102
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000
It is Roxanne Perez out of NXT.

103
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Former NXT women's title holder.

104
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Now, I've been speculating for the last few weeks that Roxanne Perez could be called up to the main roster sometime soon.

105
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I'll see if she has a good Rumble.

106
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
This is her second career Rumble.

107
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
And she's going straight after Io Sky.

108
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Yes, have some.

109
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Got Kit to Liv Morgan.

110
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Bit slap.

111
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,000
So while we watch Roxanne Perez really take it to both women in ring,

112
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:30,000
I will take the opportunity to point out that the winner of the Rumble gets a guaranteed world title shot at WrestleMania in the main event.

113
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:39,000
So as that stands, that is either Tiffy Stratton from SmackDown or Rhea Ripley from Monday Night Raw.

114
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
So Roxanne Perez is in rarefied air.

115
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,000
She is entry number three, which is at the moment the spot that holds the most Royal Rumble winners.

116
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Yeah, what a move.

117
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
That was a net breaker and a DDT in one.

118
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Liv over the top.

119
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Oh, I don't think Liv Morgan would react very well to being taken out by somebody from NXT, even if it is...

120
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Nope, Io Sky's going for it.

121
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Perez is on the outside.

122
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Oh, back in.

123
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Oh, beautiful.

124
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Code breaker.

125
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Entry number four is on the way. Who's coming?

126
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Liv Morgan just like fucking bring it.

127
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Oh, yes, Lyra Valkyria, the women's intercontinental title holder.

128
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:58,000
One of the first British, European wrestlers to come into the ring.

129
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Obviously Lyra Valkyria is from Ireland, so they really don't like being called English, so I do apologise if you're listening to us from Ireland.

130
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Only the second non-American superstar in the ring, I believe.

131
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
And this is her Royal Rumble debut as well.

132
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:28,000
She says she feels so good, it makes her alive when she can fly. She got called up and she was immediately confident.

133
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
DDT, that was beautiful.

134
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Off the ropes.

135
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
It's been a week or two since we last saw Lyra Valkyria in ring action.

136
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
She almost had a wardrobe malfunction.

137
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Almost had the twins pop through. Her neck strap is broken on her top.

138
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Oh, no, Alexey, you are.

139
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
To be fair, Liv Morgan has just done Lyra Valkyria a favour there. She's kicked her into the corner so she can do a top back up.

140
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yeah, so it looks like a cruelty, but it's actually a kindness.

141
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000
I mean, to be fair, I don't think any of these women would have done the same thing at that point.

142
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
I've just seen somebody from backstage crew run across the screen. Run across the...

143
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:32,000
He's just run back, cheering as well. It's been done.

144
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Oh, EO and Liv's going to. No.

145
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Five's coming in. Oh, no.

146
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
I don't know when five's coming too.

147
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Oh, no, Chelsea Green's coming in.

148
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
What the fuck is she wearing?

149
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Chelsea Green's come in dressed as Barbie, ladies and gentlemen.

150
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:08,000
This is a... So Chelsea Green, current women's United States champion.

151
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I love women's champions in there already.

152
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:20,000
This is a fourth career Royal Rumble and we are still yet to have an elimination.

153
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
But yes, she has five active superstars in there at the moment.

154
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Chelsea Green has come dressed to the ring looking like a wedding cake topper.

155
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Yeah, if you stuck Barbie on top of a wedding cake, that is Chelsea Green right now.

156
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
These women must spend some serious money on their costumes.

157
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I think WWE probably spend some serious money on their costumes. I'm not going to lie.

158
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Well, I saw an interview with one of the male wrestlers a few weeks ago.

159
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000
He said that the wrestling boots $400 a pop.

160
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
So when you see all these guys come in week out, week in week out with different outfits,

161
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
they're playing $400 a pop for their just their boots.

162
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,000
That is an insane statistic. But Chelsea Green trying to absolutely clear house here.

163
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The guy Liv Morgan. She's getting brave going up onto the top row.

164
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:25,000
She's realized she's fucked. She's pissed a lot of these women off in the last couple weeks.

165
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
It's a four on one against Chelsea Green.

166
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
She's pissed a lot of these women off in the last two minutes.

167
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
So yeah.

168
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And it is an absolute beat down and then normal service resumes.

169
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
We are entering number six.

170
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Two, one.

171
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And we have B fab.

172
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,000
B fab from NXT. We have got all the NXT in this season.

173
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
We've got some hell of right.

174
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000
So this says to me that we're not only going to see Chelsea Green with a call up at some point.

175
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
We could also see B fab with one as well.

176
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Now that would not make sense to me.

177
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Just based on recent performance, we haven't seen a lot of B fab in NXT in ring competition.

178
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I've seen a lot of her with Mishin as a ring support, I suppose.

179
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Well, they've recently formed a tag team between the two of them, her and Mishin.

180
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:47,000
And yeah, we've, this is only B fab's second, B fab's second career Royal Rumble.

181
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Oh, she just done live Morgan on top of the Ira Valkyria.

182
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Yeah, no, Roxanne Perez.

183
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
No, it's not. You're right. Sorry, Lyra Valkyria.

184
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I'm trying to keep track of everybody's outfit.

185
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
This is moving so very quickly, which is one thing that we absolutely love about the Rumble.

186
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
I'm so glad I'm not pausing this to make notes.

187
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Oh, 100%. It'd take me a day just to get through the Royal Rumble match, I think.

188
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
We are still yet to have an elimination out of this match.

189
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Liv Morgan is teeing off in the corner there.

190
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000
She teeing off on, that is a live over here. She's gone over.

191
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
We are due, Entrant number seven.

192
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Incoming.

193
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Oh, American made.

194
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
So this is...

195
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Oh, this is Ivy Nile.

196
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Yeah, I want to say is he doing, but she's different superstar.

197
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Ivy Nile, then piling around with Gagel and the rest of the Rumble.

198
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Second Royal Rumble.

199
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
That's something we see wrestle a huge amount on.

200
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
We haven't seen a wrestle at all, actually, since...

201
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
We've started this podcast.

202
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
What a spine buster.

203
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Just looking at the physique on that woman is telling us everything

204
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
that we're going to need to know about this.

205
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
She's built a little bit like Jade Cargill.

206
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Just not quite as refined, but she's very well built, woman.

207
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Oh, 100%.

208
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Oh, Suplex.

209
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Oh, Liv Morgan.

210
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Oh, Belly to Back Suplex.

211
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Oh, what's Chelsea Green trying?

212
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Oh, she's been held.

213
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
She's got paresis.

214
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Oh, double Suplex.

215
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Oh, look at that double German Suplex.

216
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Both of those women are like, fuck my...

217
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Like that.

218
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Look at their strength on Ivy Nile for that double German Jesus.

219
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So being able just to lift one full grown human being over your head

220
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
is a feat to behold, but having to do it with two

221
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
has just told us everything we need to know about Ivy Nile

222
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
and the power that woman holds.

223
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Oh, are they trying to get rid of B-Fab in the corner here?

224
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
We've got Io Sky and Liv Morgan looking to pick on B-Fab in the corner.

225
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
They've got a rep on the top ropes.

226
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
So we've got entry number eight on the way in.

227
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
And still no eliminations.

228
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Just based on what you've been telling me, Rich,

229
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
I think you actually may be still a couple of seconds ahead of me.

230
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
So...

231
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I'm really sorry.

232
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
We've got Tony Stark.

233
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
So part of...

234
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
So we start.

235
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Ah, the Fusion Collective.

236
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
PFC.

237
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
And this is her third career Royal Rumble to date.

238
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And she comes in at entry number eight.

239
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:19,000
So we've had eight entrants so far and zero eliminations.

240
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
That's got to change soon.

241
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
This is a Royal Rumble, not a battle royale.

242
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Ooh!

243
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000
The elimination game is going to come thick and fast.

244
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Did you just see that move off Stark?

245
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Oh, another one?

246
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Ooh!

247
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
She is generally a physically dominant...

248
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Wow!

249
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
That's what we've been talking about.

250
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Physically dominant superstar.

251
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And we're being told on screen at the moment that EO Sky has spent

252
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
13 and a half minutes in the Royal Rumble match as have Liv Morgan.

253
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,000
But they were entry one and two.

254
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
I don't know if they've spent 13 minutes in there

255
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
and we've got a 20-minute long episode so far,

256
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
so that's a little bit off.

257
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Ha ha!

258
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
We did do an introduction to the episode

259
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
and everything along those lines.

260
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
We had entries as well, didn't we?

261
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
So, yeah.

262
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
That's a third of the way almost into the women's Royal Rumble.

263
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Entry number nine is on her way soon.

264
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Chelsea Green's locked up in the ropes there with Liv Morgan.

265
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Yeah, most definitely.

266
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000
And it looks like Roxanne Perez is in trouble on the opposite side of the ring.

267
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
We have entry number nine on their way.

268
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Oh, Lash Legend.

269
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
It's about time we got some power up in this bitch.

270
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
This woman's gonna go absolutely nuts.

271
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Lash Legend part of the faction Meta 4 and the tag team Meta Girls.

272
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
And look at her, barrelled down that ramp.

273
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
She's gone. This is her Royal Rumble debut as well.

274
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
So let's ask straight away.

275
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
She's like, uh-uh, ladies, this is my time.

276
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Oh, what a kick to Chelsea Green.

277
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
We've got nine women, including two current serving champions in the ring

278
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
and had no eliminations at this point.

279
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Spilling bat breaker.

280
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
All Roxanne Perez could be in trouble.

281
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
No. I mean, she's in the arms of Lash Legend.

282
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
We know she's in trouble. No, that's Lyra Valkyra.

283
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Deadlift.

284
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Standing super.

285
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Back to all front drop.

286
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
What? This woman's a powerhouse.

287
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Why is she not a main roster superstar yet?

288
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
She's a former women's NBA superstar as well.

289
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Can you imagine playing basketball against this woman? Jesus.

290
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Yeah, really rather not.

291
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
She's using IV as a battering ram here.

292
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
That's not legal, surely. I know they say no weapons, but...

293
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I think Lash Legend herself is the weapon, to be quite honest.

294
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
She's the female Brock Lesnar at the moment.

295
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
She just don't give a fuck.

296
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
B-Fab's picking a fight with Lash Legend.

297
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
That may not be a good idea.

298
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Entrant number 10 will be making her way to the ring very soon.

299
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
We are almost a third of the way through this women's Royal Rumble,

300
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
and we still have no eliminations.

301
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Oh, no, not happening.

302
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,000
B-Fab's not getting her over the top rope like she's trying.

303
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Oh.

304
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Double kick to the face.

305
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
Chelsea Green's going to try and take B-Fab out.

306
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
B-Fab's over the top rope.

307
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000
First elimination is B-Fab.

308
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Chelsea Green's got a new elimination.

309
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Nicely done, Chelsea.

310
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Is she going up? She's trying to get Lash Legend too.

311
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Brave woman, brave woman.

312
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Oh, no, feet aren't touching. She's trying.

313
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Nah, that's not going to happen.

314
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Oh.

315
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
No, she's not getting a double E-limb there.

316
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Who's number 10?

317
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Oh, it's Bianca Belair.

318
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000
One half of the women's tag team champions are in the Rumble.

319
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And Bianca Belair holding some serious...

320
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
...stead in the Royal Rumble match,

321
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
seeing as how it's only been such a short time

322
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000
since the women's Royal Rumble was a thing.

323
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Bianca Belair has won the Royal Rumble match before,

324
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
back in 2021.

325
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000
She also holds a record for the shortest iron woman time

326
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
in the Royal Rumble match,

327
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
as well as being one of the contenders

328
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
for being top... Oh, in the top five,

329
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
of having the longest time.

330
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Um...

331
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Oh.

332
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Oh, Roxanne Perez.

333
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Lyra Valkyria.

334
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
They've all gone over, but still managed to roll back in.

335
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
She's got EO Sky up in the air.

336
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Ooh.

337
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
What a backbreaker and a kip-up.

338
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Come finish the job, because there's so many women...

339
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
The one thing that you've always got to be careful of with Bianca Belair

340
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
is that braid.

341
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,000
That braid will come sharp, it will come fast.

342
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
We've said it a few times.

343
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
We personally think that's class...

344
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Oh-ho-ho-ho!

345
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Oh, sorry.

346
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
So, Izzy and I all run in,

347
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
and they're all running into the corner,

348
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
and Bianca Belair's just backflipping over the top

349
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
and then shoulder barging them in.

350
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
She's got three in the corner now,

351
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
and she's just laying waste onto her.

352
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Backflip over, that's four.

353
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
This just speaks to the absolute athleticism

354
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
of Bianca Belair.

355
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
She's an incredible performer.

356
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
She's hanging out the corner as Bianca Belair now.

357
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Here was the one, everybody!

358
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
But this is the sort of thing that we enjoy.

359
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Lip organs in there too.

360
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Oh!

361
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Oh, redbreaker.

362
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Beautiful.

363
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Bianca Belair is coming here,

364
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
and she's like, look, guys, I'm the boss, bitch.

365
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
This is how we do it.

366
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Looks like Roxanne Perez is trying to get Lyra Valkyra

367
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
over at the corner as well,

368
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
and Bianca Belair is...

369
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
She's pulling some moves, and she's looking good.

370
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Yo, Skye hits her in the face with a kick, though.

371
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Yeah, every head of steam comes to her head with it.

372
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Yo, Skye looks like she's about to get tossed.

373
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Entrant number 11 on the way in.

374
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Who do we have?

375
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Oh, Shayna Baszler!

376
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Duh!

377
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
This is obviously one of the other...

378
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
...formers of the pure Fusion Collective,

379
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
and this... she got...

380
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Shayna Baszler holds the joint record

381
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000
for most eliminations in the Royal Rumble.

382
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Sure, it's joint.

383
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
She's got eight in 2020, didn't she?

384
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Yeah, she holds it with Bianca Belair and Nia Jax.

385
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Most recently, Kairi Sane, and, yes, she's like, yes!

386
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
It's important to realise that Shayna Baszler

387
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
has never actually won a Royal Rumble

388
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
and would love to add this to her...

389
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
...to her career.

390
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And...

391
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
...you know, women that haven't won it,

392
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
it's a massive thing to have on your...

393
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,000
...on your statistics sheet at the end of it.

394
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
You're a women's Royal Rumble winner.

395
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Oh, 100 per cent that we've had.

396
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
What a clothesline!

397
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
So, we've got... there was a small slip there as well,

398
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
but I don't think that was meant to be a clothesline,

399
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
so that was a good save from Zoe Stark.

400
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Zoe Stark and Shayna Baszler are going to start laying it into Lyra Valkyra now,

401
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,000
and she looks like she's about to be taking a trip back to the showers reasonably soon.

402
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
We've had so far 11 women enter the ring

403
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
and one eliminated being B-Fab.

404
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Due to get number 12 very shortly,

405
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
all of these women competing for a spot,

406
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
a main event spot at WrestleMania.

407
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Oh, Lyra's gone!

408
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Lyra Valkyra has been thrown over by...

409
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Oh, it is an early shower for Lyra Valkyra.

410
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Is he Nile Gotter?

411
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Entrance number 12 is coming in now.

412
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Six, five, four, three, two, one.

413
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Who are we getting?

414
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Bayley!

415
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Bayley, the role model, the workhorse.

416
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:07,000
So, Bayley won last year's Royal Rumble from the number two spot

417
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,000
and has 17 career eliminations in this match type,

418
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
the third most of all time.

419
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
She is a veteran of this match, quite frankly,

420
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
and holds the sixth longest cumulative time

421
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:32,000
in Royal Rumble matches at two hours, 18 minutes and 50 seconds

422
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
before the entrance into this match.

423
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:40,000
And her and Roxanne Perez have been getting into it over on NXT

424
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:50,000
and they are getting into it in the Royal Rumble match.

425
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And it looks like Shayna Baszler has got the EST in her head,

426
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,000
in a leveraged headlock in the back corner as well.

427
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The chaos in this ring at this moment in time

428
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:13,000
is absolutely insane as we see Bayley face off with EO Sky,

429
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
who have had dealings in the past as part of damage control.

430
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Damage control having taken months and months off Bayley's career

431
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,000
at one point, but we will have to wait for that face off

432
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
as Shayna Baszler and Zoe Stark go after EO Sky

433
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
and then turn their attention to Bayley.

434
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Oh, Zoe Stark over the top rope in trouble.

435
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Entry number 13 on the way into the ring, 3, 2, 1.

436
00:30:48,000 --> 00:31:01,000
And we see Sonia Deville, the last member of the Pure Fusion Collective

437
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
on the way into the ring.

438
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Yeah, this looks like it's going to be a hell of a fight now.

439
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,000
We've got all of Pure Fusion Collective in the ring.

440
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
So Sonia Deville, no stranger to the Royal Rumble match.

441
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,000
This is her sixth Royal Rumble match that she has entered.

442
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Now we have 11 female superstars in the ring currently having had two eliminated.

443
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:35,000
We are due. Entry number 14 as we see Sonia Deville just lay weight

444
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:49,000
to almost every member of active superstars in the ring currently.

445
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
So just to recap the two we've had eliminated so far,

446
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Lyra Valkyria was the last to be eliminated.

447
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,000
As we've just seen, Sonia Deville absolutely decimate Chelsea Green,

448
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Shayna Baszler laying weight to Bianca Belair.

449
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000
And Zoe Stark picking on Roxanne Perez,

450
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000
seemingly picking on either current or former champions,

451
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000
really trying to assert some dominance as Lash Legend comes in

452
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000
trying to break up Pure Fusion Collective

453
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:36,000
and getting a double knee to the face for a trouble.

454
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Eoschke is in trouble in the corner with Ivy Nile trying to eliminate her

455
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000
over the top corner.

456
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Liv Morgan just got picked on by Shayna Baszler and Stark

457
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
and that looked like a hell of a bump she just took.

458
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Entry number 14 is about to come in now.

459
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Who are we going to get this time?

460
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Maxine Dupree?

461
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Maxine Dupree!

462
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Alpha Academy.

463
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:19,000
So the second Royal Rumble match for Maxine Dupree,

464
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Alpha Academy being another faction that Chad Gable has previously been a part of

465
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:34,000
and she looks nervous as all hell to get in the match with Pure Fusion Collective.

466
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Straight in with Ivy.

467
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,000
So American Maiden and Alpha Academy both having Chad Gable involved

468
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
they've been involved in one hell of a feud in recent month

469
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
as Chad Gable defected from Alpha Academy to form American Maiden

470
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:05,000
and yeah, it does.

471
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
She just ran face to face with Pure Fusion Collective

472
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:14,000
and they've just run face to face in with Bianca Belair, Eoschke and Bailey.

473
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
It's ticking off up in here.

474
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Three former women's champions taking on Pure Fusion Collective.

475
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Maxine Dupree going as close as she can.

476
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:37,000
A little tribute to Scottie Too Hotty with the worm and an elbow.

477
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,000
It has been a very long time since we've seen the worm in the Royal Rumble.

478
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
What homage to Scottie Too Hotty?

479
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Ivy Niles being eliminated by Maxine Dupree

480
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:58,000
and Maxine Dupree has been taken out by Shayna Baszler and Stark.

481
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
So we've now gone from having two to four in less than 10 seconds

482
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
with Entrant Number 15 on her way.

483
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Five, four, three, two, one.

484
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000
I'm calling Maya Jax.

485
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
No, it's Naomi.

486
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,000
We've got the other half of the women's tag team champions in the ring right now.

487
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
That's...we're going to feel the glow.

488
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,000
The wife of J. Uso...no, Jimmy Uso, my bad.

489
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Seventh career Royal Rumble after...

490
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
and she actually used the Royal Rumble to return to the WWE last year.

491
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Last year?

492
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Last year, lasting over an hour.

493
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:48,000
And now we've got a time in Florida championship wrestling, a woman who continues...

494
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,000
What a move on Stark on the middle rope to the outside.

495
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Even if she hits the floor, she's not eliminated.

496
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Because she has not crossed over that top rope.

497
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,000
And Naomi hasn't entered the ring yet, so even if she gets bumped down, she's good.

498
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Oh, neck breaker off the top.

499
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Straight into Roxanne Perez, who's looking to...

500
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Don't you kick to the stomach of Perez?

501
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,000
No, this is classic Naomi.

502
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Oh, she was looking to get some, but she ran straight into the rest of PFC.

503
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
We see this a lot in the...

504
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
not just in the women's Rumble, but in the men's.

505
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
We have tag teams come in.

506
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,000
They form alliances, but as we know, the Royal Rumble match is no place...

507
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,000
for friendships, for alliances, because it just doesn't work.

508
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:54,000
But we are expecting an entrant number 16, which means we will be over the halfway mark in this match.

509
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Yeah, we certainly will be.

510
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Look at the tag champs working together.

511
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
30 minutes power on display.

512
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Double KOD.

513
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000
There it is.

514
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Tag team champs taking it to Zoe Stark.

515
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:15,000
We've got EO Sky laying into Sonja Deville and Bayley having Shayna Baszler.

516
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Oh, oh, oh.

517
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,000
We've just lost Zoe Stark and we've just lost...

518
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Shayna Baszler have gone.

519
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Yeah, they've all gone.

520
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Bayley's just worked hard there with Bianca Belair to get those two out the ring.

521
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:33,000
And it looks like Liv Morgan's in trouble in the corner over there as well.

522
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Yeah, taking on Lash Legend.

523
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
And now Bayley's gone for a bit of a push.

524
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,000
She survived a while.

525
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I thought Liv Morgan would have gone by now, but we're about to get entrant number 16.

526
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Who are we going to see?

527
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Who's that?

528
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And we have...

529
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Oh, Jada Parker.

530
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Jada Parker from NXT have recently had...

531
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
This is her Royal Rumble debut.

532
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
She's part of OTM at the moment in NXT.

533
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
So we've recently seen her in in-ring action at Moll...

534
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Recently over on NXT, we've covered it in a previous...

535
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Bayley looked like a pervert there.

536
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,000
She just grabbed a little bit too much of Jada Parker, and Jada Parker did not like that.

537
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Jada Parker laying waste into Liv Morgan too with her.

538
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Hit toss into the ropes.

539
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Yeah, we've got...

540
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
It's important to realise obviously every...

541
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Every...

542
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Oh, Jada Parker and Lash Legend with a temporary...

543
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
They've just taken Chelsea Green out for a little while.

544
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Chelsea Green's lasted a lot longer than I anticipated.

545
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000
I think it's been a while since I've seen her.

546
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Chelsea Green's lasted a lot longer than I anticipated.

547
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
She would without Piper living at her back.

548
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Oh, Jada Parker and Lash Legend are facing off

549
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
and income the women's tag champions as well.

550
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
And we're going to see a four-way allegiance here.

551
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Or we're about to see some serious ass kicking going on.

552
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Oh, Chelsea Green's going to get in on the arc.

553
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Chelsea Green's must get her ass kicked.

554
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Or is she...

555
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
We're about to see Chelsea Green eliminated from this women's Royal Rumble.

556
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Oh, Lash Legend has just caught Jada Parker with a high boot.

557
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Chelsea Green's trying.

558
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Oh, Chelsea Green's just eliminated Lash Legend.

559
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
So that's the second big hitter that Chelsea Green has managed to eliminate.

560
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
But she's just turned around straight into the women's tag champions.

561
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
She is face-to-face with Bianca and Naomi right now.

562
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
She's fucked.

563
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
As we await entry number 17...

564
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Which is...

565
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
...Piper Nevin.

566
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Good shout at him.

567
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
She's come to save...

568
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
...Chelsea Green's backside.

569
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Chelsea Green is not in the clear yet.

570
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Piper Nevin is not in the ring.

571
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Chelsea Green's been a chicken shit.

572
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
She's going through the middle rope to try and keep herself safe.

573
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Piper, to hurry and make it to the ring to help her.

574
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000
As we see, Naomi and Bianca Belair back-to-back in the middle of the ring.

575
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
She's going to step through those ropes.

576
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Someone's going to drop, like, kick her square in the face.

577
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Are we going to see Piper Nevin just eliminate Chelsea Green?

578
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Oh!

579
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Oh!

580
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Because Piper Nevin has come to the ring not in her secret service outfit.

581
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
She has come in her original ring gear.

582
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Oh, Chelsea Green's underneath the bottom rope.

583
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Piper Nevin in an absolute powerhouse.

584
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
She just pulled Naomi out of midair, like she was a fly.

585
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,000
So we have nine active superstars in the ring currently.

586
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Eight have been eliminated.

587
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,000
The next number to be introduced will be number 18.

588
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Oh, Bailey, why would you do that?

589
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000
It's important to note as well that we still have entries number one and two

590
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,000
in EO Sky and Liv Morgan, who are surviving in this match.

591
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Although after the slam that she's just received from Piper Nevin,

592
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000
I'm not entirely sure if EO Sky will be surviving.

593
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Oh, Chelsea Green's about to go.

594
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
EO Sky's just coming in.

595
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Nevin's just eliminated Chelsea Green.

596
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000
I called this right from the beginning.

597
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Yes, you did.

598
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Chelsea Green has been eliminated.

599
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:49,000
The cracks are forming in the team up between Piper Nevin and Chelsea Green.

600
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000
We will see that implode more over the next few weeks.

601
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Chelsea Green.

602
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
But Piper Nevin is not in the clear.

603
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
He's going to have a security take a bat.

604
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
But here comes Natalya.

605
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Natalya, one of the more veteran women,

606
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,000
female superstars who we just do not see enough of.

607
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:17,000
I have said this for years that Natalya is underutilized within this division.

608
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Well, I didn't realize Natalya was under contract.

609
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,000
So this woman is competed in every women's Royal Rumble we have had

610
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,000
with a total career time in the Rumble of over two and a half hours.

611
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
And she's about to add to that.

612
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
She has yet to win a Royal Rumble.

613
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:42,000
I tell you something, for someone we don't see very often, she's looking good.

614
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Natalya always, always looks good.

615
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000
But even without, you know, for someone we don't see a lot of,

616
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
she's been training somewhere, but she's got no ring rough.

617
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:57,000
She looks like she's been performing week in week out for the last 15 years, like baby has.

618
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Oh, Perez is trying to put sleeper hold.

619
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Oh, piggyback stunner. That is beautiful.

620
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,000
We've seen that a lot the last couple of days and over different episodes.

621
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Natalya about to do Roxanne Perez.

622
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:25,000
It is important that it is not just youth power and strength that win Royal Rumbles.

623
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Oh, yeah.

624
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Jada Parker just put a running knee straight through Natalya and is trying to climb her over the top rope.

625
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Natalya is struggling here.

626
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Oh.

627
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Experience plays a good part in being able to make it through a Royal Rumble.

628
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:51,000
EO Sky just got absolutely laid out by the tag chance as Bailey takes it to Piper Niven.

629
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
We have entry number 19 on the way in.

630
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Jordan Grace.

631
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:07,000
So this has been a rumoured appearance on social media at the Royal Rumble,

632
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:15,000
formally under contract at TNA, a former TNA women's champion.

633
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,000
This is her second Royal Rumble.

634
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:25,000
If I remember correctly, the last time we saw her in the Rumble was last year,

635
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,000
where she was still a TNA Impact knockout champion, which is their women's champion.

636
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Mind buster to Bailey and Roxanne Perez is all over her.

637
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
EO Sky gets taken out.

638
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Liv Morgan gets dropped and Roxanne Perez gets hit with a Samoan drop style thing to take her down.

639
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Jordan Grace on the outside, having gone over the top rope.

640
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,000
No danger.

641
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
No danger.

642
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Jada Parker could be eliminated.

643
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Somebody else in trouble in the background.

644
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Jada Parker is out.

645
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Jada Parker has been eliminated by Jordan Grace.

646
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:18,000
As Liv Morgan manages to save herself on the outside, we also see Roxanne Perez in trouble in the corner.

647
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
As Jada Parker is going to work on her.

648
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Wow!

649
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Jordan Grace has got...

650
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Oh, what a move by Jordan Grace.

651
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Lifting, Piper Niven and slamming that absolute unit of a woman down on the mat.

652
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,000
That was insane.

653
00:45:44,000 --> 00:46:01,000
And a rapturous reunion for Naomi and Jordan Grace as Bianca Belair goes to eliminate Jordan Grace.

654
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,000
Bianca Belair taking Naomi to school over this.

655
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
She's telling, you've got to focus up.

656
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:13,000
As entry number 20 comes in, who have we got?

657
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Mishin! Mishin has entered the Royal Rumble match at number 20.

658
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Fourth career Royal Rumble, a former TNA Impact knockout champion.

659
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:49,000
We have at least three former knockouts in the match at the moment in Jordan Grace, Naomi and now Mishin.

660
00:46:49,000 --> 00:47:01,000
As we're treated to a replay of the slam that Jordan Grace managed to achieve on Piper Niven just a few moments ago.

661
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:12,000
So we are now two thirds of the way through the women's Royal Rumble match as we have 10 active superstars in, 10 eliminated.

662
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:22,000
This is the only the eighth women's Royal Rumble match that has ever occurred in history and we are being well and truly treated as Bianca Belair.

663
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Is due to be eliminated by Jada Parker?

664
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Doesn't look like Natalia is going to get there with that one.

665
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Natalia, sorry.

666
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Piper Niven's currently popping some moves on Mishin in the middle of the ring.

667
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Why is we're seeing Mishin in this Rumble? She's taken some batterings the last couple of weeks.

668
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Having said that, we've got the Tag Team Champions involved who have competed on every televised show this week.

669
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:01,000
Bailey has been working like a workhorse the last few weeks as well. She's appeared on nearly every programme.

670
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:10,000
entry 21 comes in now and we have Alexa Bliss.

671
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Alexa Bliss has the Royal Rumble.

672
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Yeah, we didn't think she was, we saw on social media she was having some contract issues.

673
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:25,000
It looks like that was her work and a half by WWE. Alexa Bliss is back in the building and I've got goosebumps.

674
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,000
I love, that means we might be seeing a little bit more of the Wyatt Six in the next couple of weeks.

675
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
Mish could be in trouble.

676
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:40,000
First appearance since January 2023 and her fourth career Royal Rumble.

677
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000
As far as I'm aware, Alexa Bliss has never won a Rumble.

678
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,000
No, but the roof has absolutely blown off.

679
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Lucas Oilfield, I am in absolute awe.

680
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Who needs the Indianapolis Colts? Alexa Bliss is back.

681
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Oh, Michael Colts busy like the internet says she wasn't coming back.

682
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:13,000
And this is true, up until the night before I believe it was reported that she was having contract disputes between her and the Royal Rumble.

683
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Oh, look at the look on her face and Bailey's like, what the fuck? We're going to see something between these two ladies.

684
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Oh, and Alexa Bliss means business.

685
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Oh, yes, she does.

686
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:39,000
And she's really focusing on Bailey here.

687
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000
As well, anybody should.

688
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:50,000
I'm pretty sure they had some issues before Alexa went off to have her baby.

689
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Which she looks phenomenal for by the way.

690
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Alexa Bliss.

691
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,000
This is true. She's up.

692
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Again, I will point out we still have not had eliminated our number one and two spots and we are at entry number 22 about to actually one, two and three are all still in the room.

693
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
We are all still in the ring.

694
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Is Roxanne Perez is still there?

695
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Who do we have Zalina Vega?

696
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Zalina Vega always an interesting one to watch come to the ring because of her ring outfits.

697
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:36,000
It is like Mardi Gras all over again.

698
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:44,000
She's got her sixth career Royal Rumble and she lasted 20 minutes and last year's Royal Rumble.

699
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Zalina Vega another superstar.

700
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,000
I'm hoping to see more out of her.

701
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Alexa Bliss is up on the shoulders of Naomi there over the top rope on a Bianca Belair.

702
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Sorry.

703
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:08,000
Zalina Vega is coming in and really making an impact as she's recently been drafted to snap down from the Raw.

704
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Needy Teal and Piper Nevin that was something you wouldn't expect to see.

705
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:21,000
She's now getting onto it with Jordan Grace and she looks like she could be about to be leaving very quickly.

706
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
I know Jordan Grace is going for something.

707
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Jordan Grace is in a tough spot herself.

708
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Zalina Vega is nobody to be underestimated.

709
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Again I think I may be about two seconds behind where you are in our watch along here.

710
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Talia is in trouble in the corner between Misha and the Tag Team Champions as she goes to take it to Bayley.

711
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,000
She's trying to help Bayley with Bliss I think.

712
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:07,000
She shoved Bayley aside to get Bliss up on the top corner who's now in trouble.

713
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
But Bliss is really fighting back.

714
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,000
The Tag Team Champions are busy picking on Misha at the moment.

715
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:19,000
We've got entry number 23 coming in the next five seconds.

716
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:30,000
We have Candice LeRae.

717
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Now we are still awaiting the return of Charlotte Flair and we are running out of numbers.

718
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Charlotte put out a VT saying that she was indeed returning and we haven't seen Nia Jax yet either.

719
00:52:51,000 --> 00:53:00,000
No but the Candice LeRae is the harbinger of Nia Jax as we found out this week on SmackDown.

720
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,000
The way she appears Nia Jax is not normally too far behind.

721
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:10,000
This is Candice LeRae's fifth Royal Rumble entrance.

722
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Nice little netbreaker on Bayley and Naomi there.

723
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Yeah, turned a netbreaker into a Domino DDT.

724
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:32,000
I remember commenting myself on SmackDown's some really creative offence from Candice LeRae here.

725
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Remember commenting on this week's episode of Finishers and Factures does SmackDown.

726
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,000
We haven't seen a lot of in-ring competition from Candice LeRae in a very long time.

727
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:54,000
So it's nice to see her actually participating rather than just...

728
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Being a mouthpiece.

729
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Not even being a mouthpiece, being an enforcer for the irresistible force who needs no enforcer realistically.

730
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:15,000
We've got 13 active women in this Rumble at the moment having had 10 eliminations.

731
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:23,000
I believe Chelsea Green has had the most of them before she was herself.

732
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Eliminated by Piper Niven as entry number 24 makes their way to the ring and we have...

733
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Stephanie Baker.

734
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,000
And she's come out looking like a devilish minx.

735
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Oh, 100%. This is Stephanie Baker all over at NXT.

736
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:56,000
She only signed with NXT last year. This is her very first Royal Rumble match.

737
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:02,000
Yeah, this is fantastic.

738
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,000
The only drawback with the Royal Rumble.

739
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Crossbody off the top rope onto Bayley straight away from Stephanie Baker.

740
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Bayley has really taken some punishment since entering this Royal Rumble match.

741
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,000
She's going for the to be the first woman to win back to back Rumble.

742
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:23,000
She's basically got a big fat target on her head.

743
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Natalia has just taken a hell of a suplex too.

744
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:33,000
EST is in trouble in the corner being potentially eliminated by Piper Niven.

745
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Stephanie Baker banging Natalia's forehead off the canvas.

746
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:46,000
Roxanne Perez and Baker are... Oh, what a headbutt by Baker.

747
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Oh, what a move on Bayley in the corner by Stephanie Baker and a kick to the face of Natalia.

748
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:04,000
A knee to the face of Natalia.

749
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,000
That's the blisters in trouble with the women's tag team champions here.

750
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Right, I've got to stop talking about Bliss because my Amazon Echo devices are listening.

751
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Mine's turned off.

752
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:30,000
As entry number 25 is making their way to the ring Natalia and Natalia Bliss are both in trouble on the corner.

753
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Here we go. Trish Stratus.

754
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Oh, now this is a surprise. It was rumoured she might make an appearance.

755
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,000
I've got goosebumps.

756
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000
And who's been making this a regular thing over the years.

757
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:54,000
A seven time WWE women's champion and a WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus enters the Royal Rumble.

758
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,000
And I've got goosebumps.

759
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:04,000
I mean, considering her age, she still looks damn good.

760
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Is she going to take Natalia out, maybe?

761
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,000
If I remember correctly, Trish Stratus also participated in last year's Royal Rumble,

762
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000
but did last year's Royal Rumble in Ugg boots?

763
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,000
This time she's come to the ring from the head for the fight.

764
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Yeah, she came out of the crowd last year, didn't she?

765
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000
She certainly did.

766
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Jordan Grace is trying to get some attention here.

767
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,000
I mean, Jordan Grace has done enough to get attention after the massive slam she pulled on Piper,

768
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
living earlier in this match.

769
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Oh, yes.

770
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,000
Trish Stratus up top for a double bulldog.

771
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Oh, beautiful. We've got Roxanne Perez, who's on the outside in the corner.

772
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
No, she hasn't quite.

773
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:56,000
She's up on the top turnbuckle. She is in a dangerous spot.

774
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Natalia just got busted up by Trish Stratus.

775
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
It's trash.

776
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:09,000
We have not got many entrants left and we've got five left to go.

777
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
This ring is getting packed, ladies and gentlemen.

778
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,000
Piper was certainly ruined some people's nights if she eliminates Trish Stratus.

779
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:23,000
There's going to be much more difference in style between Piper Niven and Trish.

780
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
So we've got Stephanie Baker up on top turnbuckle.

781
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:34,000
26 is coming in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

782
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Who is it?

783
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Raquel Rodriguez enters the Royal Rumble for the judgment day.

784
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:50,000
So we knew that she was declared for the Royal Rumble, but it has been a long spell

785
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,000
between her counterpart Liv Morgan and Liv Morgan entering at number two

786
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:01,000
and Raquel Rodriguez as number 26.

787
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:08,000
So Liv Morgan feasibly is about to get some well-needed backup in this ring.

788
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Raquel Rodriguez making her second Royal Rumble entrance ever

789
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,000
and going straight after the veteran Natalia.

790
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,000
I'd love to see more of this. I'm not going to lie.

791
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Natalia and Michelle, Raquel Rodriguez look like they'd have some incredible fights.

792
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Oh, wow.

793
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Using Liv Morgan as a weapon.

794
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,000
This is something we see on quite the regular basis.

795
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
And Natalia's just getting back.

796
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Natalia's gone.

797
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Oh, are they going to try and...

798
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:50,000
Oh, Liv Morgan's eliminated Natalia with a code breaker on the outside of the turnbuckle.

799
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Oh, James and Natalia, I was really hoping this was going to be her.

800
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Yeah, that would have been a great kickstart to a nice little run for her though.

801
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Oh, Alexa Bliss with a slight spear on Liv Morgan. Stephanie Baker's got...

802
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,000
No, not Stephanie Baker. Raquel Rodriguez has just put Bliss over the top rope.

803
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Liv Morgan, code breaker. Ah, Alexa Bliss is gone.

804
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:22,000
Liv Morgan with a double elimination on Alexa Bliss and Natalia in less than a minute.

805
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:28,000
I am personally hoping that we see a lot more of Bliss versus...

806
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,000
The tag team champs are trying to get Liv Morgan out.

807
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Liv Morgan's over the top rope.

808
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,000
She is, and she's close to that edge.

809
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Oh, she's going... she's underneath.

810
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Five, four, three, two, one.

811
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,000
And she's number twenty seven. Who do we have?

812
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Woo!

813
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Charlotte.

814
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Charlotte Flair has returned.

815
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:02,000
The only woman who is close to having the same amount of titles as her dad, the Hall of Famer, Rick Flair.

816
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:08,000
We haven't seen Charlotte for over a year since she suffered a knee injury.

817
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:16,000
She suffered a knee injury. She has been rehabbing that extensively with the look to getting back into the ring as soon as possible.

818
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:22,000
And here she is, number twenty seven of the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble.

819
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:36,000
And while she's not one of my favourite superstars, it would appear that the roof is creaking at the amount of fanfare she is getting from the crowd having returned.

820
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,000
This is her first appearance since December of 2023.

821
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
She is a former Royal Rumble winner herself.

822
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:52,000
I am also not one of Charlotte Flair's biggest fans, but it is nice sometimes to see a veteran come back,

823
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:58,000
especially when they've not been... you know, we're so used to seeing Charlotte Flair being shoved down our throats.

824
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000
It's nice to see her pop back up occasionally.

825
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,000
It is. I'm just hoping that she...

826
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:11,000
I'm personally hoping that she doesn't turn this into another Royal Rumble win to Q jump into WrestleMania,

827
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:18,000
because it would just... it fits with her MO of what's happened with her up to this point.

828
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,000
And I'm just really hoping that that isn't the case at this point.

829
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:29,000
There's a lot of people in this ring at the moment. We've got fifteen active superstars.

830
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Twelve have been eliminated and we've got...

831
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Guys in trouble on the outside.

832
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Two left with number twenty eight... or three left, sorry, with twenty eight coming in soon.

833
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:43,000
And they say we've got twenty eight, twenty nine and thirty.

834
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,000
And we've still got Nia Jax left to enter this ring.

835
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,000
All you're hearing at the moment is the crowd going,

836
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Woo! Every time Charlotte Flair gets a slap in.

837
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,000
I mean, don't get me wrong. Charlotte Flair is in phenomenal shape.

838
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
Credit given where credit is due.

839
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:12,000
And we are just seeing bodies strewn around the ring as it stands.

840
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,000
And...

841
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Charlotte Flair has gone over, taken herself over the top rope and put herself... Mishin's been eliminated.

842
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:44,000
Mishin has been eliminated and Charlotte Flair being a veteran that she is

843
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
should really know that she needs to get herself back in that ring

844
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:53,000
and does so in style, taking out Jordan Grace and Stephanie Baker.

845
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,000
A double cross body slam.

846
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:06,000
So we now have fourteen active superstars with thirteen having been eliminated.

847
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:10,000
We are due number twenty eight coming up shortly.

848
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:21,000
A double DDT from Charlotte Flair to Stephanie Baker and Jordan Grace.

849
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Really showing that Charlotte Flair doesn't seem to have missed eight beats.

850
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,000
And she's going straight after Piper Niven.

851
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Brave, brave choice.

852
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,000
Zalina Vega is in trouble on the outside.

853
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Piper Niven's gone.

854
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Who was that? Charlotte Flair.

855
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Charlotte Flair has had a second elimination of this Royal Rumble having eliminated Mishin just before.

856
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,000
She's coming in with some serious get up and going.

857
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Who's coming in?

858
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Julia.

859
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:12,000
The NXT Women's Champion is making an entrance in the Royal Rumble.

860
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,000
I'm bringing the title with her.

861
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,000
This is actually her Royal Rumble debut.

862
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:32,000
I want to know who's the guy picking up the back who's holding on to all the titles and coats for them.

863
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,000
I wonder if they slip him a twenty at the end of the rumble.

864
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,000
I think we'd need to slip him more than that.

865
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,000
I think if he gave one of the title belts away he'd probably lose his job.

866
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:50,000
And he'd probably get a pedigree from the man himself for the tourist trouble.

867
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Charlotte Flair in a wing situation.

868
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:00,000
EO Sky and Julia are having a thing in the middle here.

869
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Absolutely payoff in the ring at the moment.

870
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Julia against Warrant.

871
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:29,000
I've met many times outside of the WWE but I do not believe they've met at all within it.

872
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:40,000
EO Sky has been in the ring for almost an hour now along with Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez is only two minutes behind them.

873
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:51,000
So they are both in contention for the Iron Woman title for the Royal Rumble.

874
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Bailey holds a record and R is three.

875
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000
And the usual attempt at trying to eliminate Jordan Grace.

876
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Oh, Julia's got her headbutton and running knee.

877
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:13,000
Stephanie Baker stood right behind her.

878
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:23,000
These two are due to meet shortly I believe on NXT.

879
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,000
Oh, they're teaming up.

880
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:39,000
NXT women stick together and they are found themselves toe to toe.

881
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Roxanne Perez is getting involved.

882
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,000
NXT women stick together.

883
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,000
I'll say it again.

884
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:51,000
They're going toe to toe with Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair and Bailey.

885
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Another three.

886
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Entry number 29.

887
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
And entry number 29 is...

888
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Nia Jax.

889
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:06,000
The irresistible force has entered the ring.

890
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:12,000
And she is looking pissed off.

891
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Now we've seen a few superstars enter this Royal Rumble this year to absolute rapturous fanfare.

892
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:30,000
This is the first one we've seen that is being met in exactly the opposite way.

893
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000
There are very few people in the crowd cheering.

894
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:38,000
She has one of the career most eliminations in the Royal Rumble at 20.

895
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
She is the 2024 Queen of the Ring.

896
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:49,000
And, yeah, we know if she wins she's going straight for Triforny Statenwell, said way by.

897
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:58,000
So we've only got one more entrance left on this Royal Rumble card.

898
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Oh, Selena Vega has been eliminated before Nia Jax even got into the ring.

899
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,000
And she's going absolutely ham throwing her into the barricade.

900
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:15,000
Such a shame for Selena Vega, but I think we're going to see some big things out of her.

901
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:22,000
That actually means that Nia Jax in most other eliminations in a female Royal Rumble.

902
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:27,000
And she's going toe to toe with Trish Strasser.

903
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,000
I'd love to see Trish hit the stratosphere here, but Candice Leray is going to try it.

904
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Oh, there she goes. Off you go, Candice Leray.

905
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,000
You don't mess with a seven-time female champion and a Hall of Famer in the Trish stratosphere.

906
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:43,000
And she's taking it straight to Nia Jax here.

907
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,000
If there was anybody that ever could, it was Trish Strasser.

908
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Oh, slap to the chin.

909
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Oh, power bomb.

910
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Nope. Reverse.

911
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,000
What a move.

912
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Maybe, nope, she's going to get rid of it over the top.

913
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,000
Come on, Trish. Come on. Come on. Candice Leray is trying to help out here.

914
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Oh, Nia Jax has eliminated Trish Stratters.

915
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,000
I think Trish Stratters would have earned herself a second Hall of Fame ring

916
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,000
if she'd managed to eliminate Nia Jax on her own.

917
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:28,000
Entrant number 30 is on the way as Nia Jax turns round

918
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,000
and runs through the rest of the field like the human wrecking ball she is.

919
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Bailey might have concussion after that.

920
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:39,000
And the final entrant is Niki Bella.

921
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Now, there was speculation that we'd see one of the Bella twins come back

922
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000
and it was unlikely to be Brie.

923
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Yeah, well, we've got Niki and we know Cena is backstage for the men's Royal Rumble

924
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000
because he announced himself and that on the Netflix debut.

925
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,000
So there's going to be some awkward conversations backstage tonight

926
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,000
at the Royal Rumble live in Indianapolis.

927
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
100%.

928
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,000
This is Niki Bella's third Royal Rumble.

929
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,000
She is a women's WWE Hall of Famer.

930
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,000
So we've just had one Hall of Famer eliminated

931
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,000
to have another one take her place.

932
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
And as much as we would probably hate to say it,

933
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,000
we've got one woman in the ring who is guaranteed to be a Hall of Famer at some point as well

934
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,000
and that's Charlotte Flair.

935
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Charlotte Flair, I think Bailey will make it into the Hall of Fame as well.

936
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Oh, everyone's just looking at Nia Jax now.

937
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,000
It's like, bitch, nobody like you.

938
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,000
We go and get rid of you.

939
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:47,000
Have Morgan's been in the ring for an hour and five minutes?

940
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:52,000
As has EO Sky who's still in this match.

941
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:58,000
And Perez is still in this match.

942
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Nia Jax sends them all Skyrim.

943
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,000
This is a common tactic that have been used on Nia Jax before.

944
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:14,000
So she should not be surprised that this is how this match goes for her.

945
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,000
They are really trying to ring her bell.

946
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,000
It's taken a lot of them.

947
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000
There's Charlotte Flair, Niki Bella in there too.

948
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:34,000
They've got her on the floor, but why is Niki Bella doing press-ups?

949
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:41,000
Niki Bella has not been seen in ring action for a long, long time.

950
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Oh, she's going face to face with Roxanne Perez.

951
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Perez has got some balls for a slap from Niki Bella in return for the attempt that she threw.

952
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Niki Bella going to get Perez out.

953
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000
She's going over.

954
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:05,000
She's going to get the ball off of the wall of fame.

955
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Niki Bella is looking better than ever.

956
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,000
I know some people just not age.

957
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,000
What's the secret?

958
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,000
I'm aging like milk.

959
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,000
They don't even drink milk.

960
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Oh, are we about to lose Stephanie Baker and EO Sky?

961
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Oh, dangerous spot.

962
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Roxanne Perez kicking the alley at Stephanie Baker's side, which can't be done.

963
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Oh, you can even fit and use condom underneath the gap between her shoes and the floor there.

964
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Liv Morgan getting involved as well.

965
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Raquel Rodriguez shortly behind.

966
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Rodriguez is going, I think.

967
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
Bella is trying to tip her over the top.

968
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Liv Morgan, they're all on the outside.

969
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000
Oh, this is a massive danger.

970
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Someone's got Bianca Bala as her.

971
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:01,000
Raquel Rodriguez has got Bianca Bala as her.

972
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Her feet haven't touched the floor.

973
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Her feet haven't touched the floor.

974
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
They've got all of them.

975
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Nii Jax has just taken out six of them, I believe.

976
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:16,000
She's just done the two tag team champions, EO Sky.

977
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,000
And she's going back from Morgan and Roxanne Perez.

978
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Liv Morgan is now the longest serving superstar in this match.

979
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,000
No, she's gone.

980
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,000
She has gone.

981
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,000
That has to be some kind of record.

982
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Liv Morgan set a record for the most time set in a Royal Rumble today.

983
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:40,000
But yeah, I think Nii Jax has just set one for most eliminations in one go.

984
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:45,000
The record for most eliminations in one match is eight.

985
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Nii Jax has put herself in a fantastic position as there are not many women left in this match

986
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
who can eliminate her.

987
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,000
The problem that we have is a lot of the women left in this match are very fresh.

988
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:02,000
She has just eliminated a lot of the ones that are very tired.

989
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,000
So Nii Jax has got seven eliminations so far this Rumble.

990
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,000
If she gets one more, she joins the list as joint holder.

991
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:14,000
If she gets two more, she takes the lead as the person with the most eliminations

992
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,000
in the Royal Rumble and the most in the Royal Rumble.

993
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:22,000
It's Julia and Roxanne Perez hanging over on the ropes here.

994
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,000
Roxanne Perez in a dangerous spot as well having both of them.

995
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,000
Charlotte almost hung herself up.

996
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Are they about to try and get Charlotte out?

997
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,000
My opinion, they're focusing on the wrong person.

998
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,000
The person they should all be focusing on.

999
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Charlotte is still in the ring.

1000
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,000
She's still in the ring, laying down recuperating.

1001
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,000
In the blue on the right hand side is Nii Jax.

1002
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Roxanne Perez is just taken out Julia by charging her off the ring post.

1003
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Roxanne Perez is now the longest serving woman in this Royal Rumble.

1004
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
She came in at number three.

1005
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,000
It is a faint spot in women's Royal Rumble as the most wins have come from number three.

1006
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,000
She's just had Bailey over the top rope.

1007
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,000
We've seen these two have a bit of a beef the last couple of weeks.

1008
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,000
Is she going to toss Bailey?

1009
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,000
We are in the closing stages.

1010
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Oh, Nii Jax comes running straight at Bailey.

1011
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Nikki Bella has just eliminated Bailey.

1012
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,000
She went to hit Nii Jax, missed and punched Bailey square in the forehead.

1013
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,000
And Nii Jax tosses Nikki Bella over the top.

1014
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
So we are left with the final three.

1015
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:43,000
We've got Charlotte Flair, Nii Jax and Roxanne Perez as our final three in the women's Rumble.

1016
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:53,000
I've got a feeling that Roxanne Perez is going to pull a number three win out of the spot.

1017
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:00,000
I've actually seen something for this match, so I'm not commenting because I know.

1018
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Roxanne Perez doing a great job of trying to tie Charlotte Flair up in the corner there.

1019
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,000
We know that Charlotte's had knee surgery.

1020
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Oh, Nii Jax comes running in.

1021
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,000
These two women are focusing on the wrong person.

1022
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:20,000
There are Nii Jax has got Roxanne Perez up on her shoulders.

1023
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Is she going over?

1024
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,000
She's going over.

1025
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Charlotte's eliminated Nii Jax.

1026
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
There we go.

1027
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,000
It's down to Charlotte and Perez.

1028
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,000
There's the Charlotte Flair.

1029
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Charlotte Flair though, maybe in control.

1030
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Roxanne out to the apron.

1031
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
One of these women are going to WrestleMania.

1032
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Charlotte Flair.

1033
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Oh, why have you done that?

1034
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Fuck's sake.

1035
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Surely not.

1036
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Yeah, they've just killed that.

1037
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:58,000
One thing that I said we shouldn't have had.

1038
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:09,000
20-25, Royal Rumble winner is Charlotte Flair, the eternal Q-jump.

1039
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
That's fucked.

1040
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,000
She now gets to pick the champion of her choosing.

1041
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Oh.

1042
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:20,000
The granddaddy, the spectacle in Las Vegas, WrestleMania.

1043
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,000
So she comes back on Royal Rumble.

1044
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:30,000
I mean, it was always possible to happen with her being part of Royal Rumble itself.

1045
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Why?

1046
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,000
How is that best for business?

1047
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Trips for years has always been you've got to do what's best for business.

1048
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:44,000
How is that what's best for business?

1049
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Yeah, it's certainly not the call that we would have made for the women at winner of the...

1050
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,000
No.

1051
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Royal Rumble for this year.

1052
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Coming back, yes, fair enough.

1053
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,000
Not coming back to win, that's diabolical.

1054
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:07,000
Guys, if you disagree with what we're saying, please just let us know in a sense of email.

1055
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Tell us what you think about Charlotte Flair winning the women's rumble.

1056
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,000
But I don't personally agree with it.

1057
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Be prepared to come being able to justify your comment.

1058
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Yeah.

1059
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Because...

1060
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Don't just come in being a troll.

1061
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Come in with the ability to back yourself up.

1062
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,000
We'll use it.

1063
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:27,000
We'll have some great fun with it.

1064
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,000
But yeah, Charlotte Flair's going to the main event at WrestleMania,

1065
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,000
and I think that has just ruined what has been a really, really good women's Royal Rumble.

1066
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Yeah, one of the absolute best women's Royal Rumbles we've had with one of the possibly worst results.

1067
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:52,000
There are so, so many other women that deserved that Royal Rumble win more than Charlotte Flair.

1068
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Yeah, even the two women at the ring in the end with a...

1069
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Like, that would have been one hell of a jump for Roxanne Perez.

1070
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:07,000
And you know, like, to come from NXT to win the Royal Rumble,

1071
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:13,000
to go to the main event at WrestleMania to possibly come out of that is the champion.

1072
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Do you know what I mean?

1073
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Like, that...

1074
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Roxanne Perez is that caliber.

1075
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,000
That was a wrong call.

1076
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
Right, Adam, I think as far as I'm concerned with this women's Royal Rumble,

1077
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000
I've got nothing else to add to it.

1078
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,000
What about you?

1079
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:37,000
So, I am just double-checking something before I say absolutely anything as...

1080
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:45,000
So, Charlotte Flair has...

1081
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Just trying to double-check myself.

1082
01:20:52,000 --> 01:21:05,000
Charlotte Flair, I believe, is the only woman to have, to have won two Royal Rumble matches.

1083
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:10,000
I've done a quick fact-check and I believe that I'm right.

1084
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:16,000
So, she has set a Royal Rumble record herself as much as we don't like it.

1085
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:20,000
But, yeah, that is all I have to say on the women's Royal Rumble.

1086
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Come back and we will review the men's Rumble as well as the matches within the PLE as well.

1087
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,000
So...

1088
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,000
We'll see you for the men's Rumble.

1089
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,000
100%.

1090
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,000
Thanks, Adam. Thanks, Al.
