For the better part of the last year these two have been a tag team they are putting
in the work and they are trying to earn their their stripes if you will for
this opportunity.
>> Byron I don't believe anybody's claiming that Mandy and
Dana aren't trying their hardest yes they are training yes they are putting in
the work but It's about results.
It's about wins, it's about success, not just how many photos wwe.com posts.
>> I've seen that success from Mandy and Dana.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And he also has good skills as well.
>> Well, almost mirror images of one another to start his match.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Obviously Mandy rose prepared for
this matchup, I've studied plenty of tape on Natalya.
These two have locked horns before in the past, but
what is Mandy gonna do differently?
Natalya has had great success against Mandy Rose in the past.
What did Mandy bring to the table tonight that she hasn't in the past that
Natalya perhaps isn't prepared for?
>> That's a great point and the the flip side of the equation is is Natalya not
taking Mandy Rose as seriously as she should have.
>> On her back after 4-3.
>> That's a valid point Byron and Natalya would be remissed to overlook Mandy Rose.
Mandy certainly a capable competitor I just think the Natalya to mean both
are functioning at such a high level right now I don't see
anybody knocking them off for a while >> Yeah but the difference here Brian,
this is one on one, how does that change things around?
Anymore, its a different kind of match up.
>> Well, this situation here may favor Natalya more than Mandy Rose, because
Natalya again is so experienced and adept in competition, in most competition.
This is her comfort zone,
this might be one half of the winners Tag team champions.
Now right now she's experiencing a calf crusher as a tough move to deal with.
>> [INAUDIBLE] able to wrestle Mandy down into a side headlock.
>> So far they swapped a lot of grappling position,
a lot of competence in the lockup, they're going wrist locks back and forth.
And it's impressive that Mandy Rose has been able to hang with Natalia trained
in the world famous art dungeon when it cold submissions few do it better than
the Natalya >> The win here for Mandy Rose would be
key towards gaining a psychological advantage over Natalia and Tamina.
>> Great athleticism by Mandy Rose.
>> Nice.
>> They are both all over this ring, and a cover!
>> Shoulder down. >> [SOUND]
>> Great job by Natalya kicking out just
at the right time, they've earned each other's respect so far.
>> It's a smart strategy by Mandy to this point, looking for a quick pin fall,
trying to catch Natalya off guard.
It's a sound strategy, it hasn't proven to be exceptionally effective to this point.
>> That simple but effective kick to the gut there Mandy Rose.
>> Right into the fireman's carry to tie able to get out once again going
back to that Ormoc, so confident with the submission.
>> To tell you trying to wrestle Mandy down to the mat and
Mandy doing smart thing.
>> [INAUDIBLE] one, two three [INAUDIBLE] >> Very cagey maneuver by Mandy rose
wrote right across the top row here, I mean, just stomping right through her.
>> You talk about the experience disparity, well,
you do the things the other guy wouldn't expect, right?
>> This could compensate well for what Mandy may lack in experience,
this aggression, just whipping Natalya throat first into the top rope.
And now Mandy continuing the onslaught.
>> Just in case that throat is feeling better go after what you need right Byron?
>> Absolutely, at that point watch the meter that
this could be a complete game changer in this matchup, clear advantage Mandy Rose.
Snapmare take time and recover.
[SOUND] That's how you're able to escape wisely.
Mandy Rose not allowing any sort of space between herself and Natalia.
>> And he's very wise because Frequently covering your opponent even if
unsuccessful forces your opponent to exert energy to kick out time after time
>> Over again lifting the leg is not done
yet.
>> Body scissors applied, Mandy Rosa exceptionally powerful legs use
them to squeeze the breath out of Natalia.
>> Going underneath the chin making it a little bit worse,
anything about what the words.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> There you go I was gonna say think
about all the words Natalia has dispelled towards Mandy Rose about only be concerned
about your social media following, only be concerned about your aesthetic attire.
That's got to be motivating for Mandy Rose to prove Natalya wrong.
>> Look at these rapid fire rights and lefts from Natalya.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Natalya trying to [INAUDIBLE]
>> Natalya trying to get her legs under
her in some sort of maneuver here,
Mandy could be looking for a modified guillotine of some sort.
>> Arm over the top, she can get it from here especially with the leg locked.
And that guard position and makes it again a lot stronger,
back doesn't beast [CROSSTALK] in her way.
>> That's one way to counter the guilty.
>> Raw power from one half of the women's tag team champions can Natalia turn
the tables in this one.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Randy Rose just continuing to be
the aggressor here.
>> And I liked this side of Mandy maybe this is what Mandy has been lacking for
the past several months, maybe Mandy's tired of living on potential.
We have said for years at this point, Mandy could be a great one day.
It's a matter of putting it all together,
maybe Mandy's decided that the time is now.
>> I completely agree with you and if you look at the last, year you look at how
many opportunities, how many chances Mandy Rose and Dana Brooks I've had.
Because women's Tag Team Champions, this abdominal stretch absolutely
brutal All frustration levels got to be on overload or
having not been able to capture those championship.
>> A great reversal right into one for herself
>> Is what Mandy had to be cautious of,
you don't want to exchange submissions with one of the best to do it.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Now you're reminding Mandy
you're nothing but a fitness model, makes the submission hurt even worse.
Do you mean Tang lash at the same time.
>> Mandy Rose desperately trying to find out she does rehearse it again.
>> If Mandy doesn't have her left leg hook, terribly deep,
it's not as powerful as it could.
>> Still those ribs were exposed and bringing those elbows down.
>> Talya once again regaining the upper hand.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And this is what we are all waiting for
to championship matches to be contested inside,
the sadistic structure known as hell in a cell.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Rose charging in.
>> Natalia sidestepped her.
Slingshot.
>> [INAUDIBLE] there it is.
>> Mandy now.
>> And she was on the match began.
>> Natalia finally finding her offense for the cover lifting the leg.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Not quite finished yet.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Mandy still with a little too much left
in the tank, what you were wondering if Natalia could find her aggression again?
Looks like she did Byron just a bit getting back in this
>> Very familiar combo by Natalia
delivered there to at least temporarily disable the effort of Mandy Rose.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Let's take another look at this,
Natalia first jamming the spine of Mandy Rose.
Ooh, a stomp and then pow Right in the kisser.
>> And she's got her loaded on that top rope.
>> Mandy able to create a little separation, what can Mandy do on the top?
>> All alone, Mandy Rose about to fly.
>> Drop kick right to the jaw.
>> And Mandy make the cover in time, Natalia's down.
>> Got her over, this might be it.
>> Leg is hooked.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Natalia survived,
let's look at this drop kick once again from Mandy.
Impressive athleticism and precision a drop kick right to the chest of Natalia,
but not enough to finish the job.
>> Yeah, but this has just got to build the confidence right now for
Mandy Rhodes coming so close to putting Natalia away.
That kick out no time to spare on that one.
>> Double underhook.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Natalya trying-
>> Trying to get the lift.
>> To block it, Natalya able to escape, inside cradle, she's down.
>> One, two.
>> But not out yet, great cradle- >> But
not enough to get the finish, beautiful clothesline and a cover for Natalya.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Back and forth it goes.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's all right display of toughness by
both of these women, that sense of frustration on Tomita and ringside.
>> We talked about the experience advantage of Natalia experiences about
what you have been through, what you can overcome, what you believe is in your
heart, and they're both showing that >> And the deeper the waters become
the more combative, >> [NOISE]
>> One, two.
>> No.
>> Every time we think it might over.
[CROSSTALK] >> That might be it.
>> One, two-
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> Natalya still able to escape,
to your point Jimmy, the deeper the waters become
the more comfortable Natalya is. Natalya is certainly no stranger
to going long into a matchup having to dig down deep into her arsenal and
figure out how to solve an opponent. >> Both have to be wondering, what do I
have to do now to get this over with? >> [CROSSTALK] Counter reverses another
rollup, cover. >> One, two-
>> In a flipping reversal lock Mandy
to her gone.
>> Can she get it straight she has done a go to the wrist and
put her hips in can't quite get it >> Again very wisely Mandy rose,
reaching for the safety of the bottom rope to force the referee to break Italian
submission attempts.
>> And we've been talking about veteran moves that was a veteran move Korey
>> Wise beyond her years,
this is Mandy Rose in that instance both women with the same idea.
>> Why not cover again?
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> Nice look at that bridge,
pure power and strength.
>> And I looked at her backside of her own double leg.
>> [NOISE] >> And now he kicked the sharpshooter
hook, Mandy Rose desperately trying to block at this time.
All the tie has to [INAUDIBLE] like this- >> [NOISE]
>> This was as good as it's over.
>> [SOUND] [APPLAUSE] >> And it's over [SOUND]
>> Here is your winner Natalya
