The sun looks very thin right there between Ripley and Niven.
>> Niven and Riply looked to be working well together early.
[NOISE] Look at the power of Ripley.
>> With age.
>> Look what she did.
She threw Jinny into the ring towards her own corner.
That's why she very quickly tried to put herself between Jenny and
her tag team partner.
>> Well, that is how smart Rhea Ripley is.
>> Again it's talked about so much.
It's still very early in her career here at WWE but iss so capable, so intelligent.
>> Only a couple of weeks after her 23rd >> Third birthday.
>> Off the drop-kick from the ropes, hook to the leg, and then a kick-out.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Gotta be nerves in the mind of A-Kid.
Gotta be some butterflies coming into this match-up.
You're facing a veteran,
a man who believes he's a legend in his own time, Kassius Ohno.
>> Wait a second Kid showing off some power of his own and some flexibility.
The.
Boom.
And look at this.
Four arm shots by right to the face.
Stand and dropkicked but Ohno is still standing.
Just too fast and Look for the >> Ohno missed and
now is the hereby Kay and Ohno.
Very close to the ropes using his length in this situation.
>> Well, for his first strike of the matchup here is a cover and
a kick out by Ohno.
>> Yep!
>> Went into that!
>> Conners with a clothesline, shuts down Johnson.
>> Now we're going to see that vicious aggressive side of Joseph Conners.
Once he has an advantage.
He he takes it.
>> And Conners hammering away.
>> And listen, Joseph Conners has been a part of this
brand as we mentioned from the very beginning.
Nearly three years ago,
he's been a part of this brand but he still has felt overlooked and
he takes out that frustration Position on everyone he gets in the ring with.
>> [INAUDIBLE] had a chip on his shoulder,
ever since he arguably failed to live up to the expectations of Michael Cole,
who picked him as his favorite in the inaugural championship tournaments.
>> I can understand, though,
there's been a lot of hype behind him from the beginning.
And trying to make a name for himself.
And look at the way that he's typing up Johnson, along the post.
Pulls back inside, and breaks the cap.
>> Wow.
>> John Cena considers himself.
Hold on.
>> NXT UK Universe, your day's about to get so
much better, because your NXT UK Woman's champion is here!
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Do you know what mix thirsty even bare?
No Toni Storm.
>> [NOISE] >> See Toni is gone.
She's disappeared.
And I have the one thing that matters most in my position.
And you know what?
She doesn't even have any friends to reach out to anymore.
So I guess that's the last movie heated up Tony Storm.
[APPLAUSE] See Xia seems to think that I caused her a championship opportunity.
When I dumped her on the top rope and
won the first ever Women's Battle Royal at NXT UK history.
[NOISE] Xia also thinks.
That she takes to win that match when in
reality I'm just smart see I'm a realist.
I live in the real world I'm all that level get all was crying about
what bad bad Kaylee rejected I did something that she could never do.
Something that everyone backstage claiming to be next will always fail to be.
[BOOING] I stand here as your champion.
>> Die on the rope, let's go.
>> Wait a minute.
>> Again, uses the top rope to his advantage!
Now Devlin leaps in, with a twist in Conners.
>> Devlin known for hitting the moves from the top, let's see if he tries-
>> Devlin going up to the top.
Mastiff is down.
Devlin got all of it.
Sitting down on the cover.
>> One, two, >> Mastiff gets the shoulder up at two and
a half.
