Here comes The Man.
[MUSIC]
The Raw Women's Champion.
[MUSIC]
[SOUND] >> The following
contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, she is The Raw Women's Champion, The Man, Becky Lynch.
>> And Becky Lynch head to a sold out Arena in Toronto for
SummerSlam in two weeks streaming live on the WWE Network.
And Corey and
Renee things have gotten personal in a quick manner between Becky and Natalya.
>> As we saw what happened earlier Natalya training with this family working on how
to get out of the Disarmer.
And Becky Lynch afford that to show up to make a face known let people know that
The Man is here and she has brought it in to Toronto as the Raw Women's Champ.
>> First of all earlier this afternoon and second of all was completely uncalled for
and unnecessary.
>> I agree.
>> And with classless, it was cheap, that is not a champion be proud of.
>> The Man is proud to be champion however.
>> It gets to the fight first.
>> Yourself talking well.
>> So do you.
>> I love to hear The Goddess talk.
>> And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Nikki Cross from Columbus,
Ohio, The Goddess, Alexa Bliss.
>> Former champion in her own right, Alexa Bliss, would love to knock off
the Raw Women's Champion here tonight live on Monday Night Raw.
>> Imagine how badly it would derail Becky Lynch's path to SummerSlam heading in
there to a hungry challenger such as Natalya,
having just come off a loss to The Goddess, Alexa Bliss.
>> Yeah, certainly Becky's gonna have to be a little bit careful about any kind of
slip-up that can happen between now and SummerSlam.
>> Becky said earlier tonight to Alexa, there's really nowhere to run and
hide when you do me wrong.
And Alexa has done many wrong things to Becky Lynch over the years.
And Becky also targeting that statement, Renee, toward Natalya.
Where did things [SOUND] go wrong between Becky and Natalya?
>> I think that from Becky Lynch's standpoint,
she thinks that Natalya should have just squashed Becky on her way up.
That's what she thought that Natalya wanted to do,
get her while she was new and coming into the game.
>> And for the rest of the logical thinking world's perspective,
it was when Becky Lynch became a complete egomaniac.
>> It wasn't that Becky became an egomaniac.
She defeated Ronda Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania.
She deserves to be on the top.
She's the baddest woman in this game.
>> A very confident Becky Lynch saying Alexa, take your best shot.
And Becky with a right of her own, very dangerous Becky Lynch,
the woman of course who, defeated Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania,
the first woman to do that in WWE.
>> Between the two of you and Becky Lynch herself I'm only hearing that phrase that
might sleep for the next 35 years.
We get it, she beat Ronda Rousey, the first woman to do it.
>> History was made.
>> What about all the great things that Alexa Bliss has accomplished in her
time in WWE?
How many Championships she has won?
But what a great friend she has been to Nikki Cross, despite all the doubt,
trying to drive a wedge.
Let's talk about some of Alexa's greatness,
there's plenty of it to go around.
>> I will say that the relationship between Alexa and Nikki seems to be on
a better footing right now >> And Becky looking for
the Disarmer on Alexa toward the center of the ring,
shoulders down now that kick out by Bliss at two.
>> I have sources it told me after Stomping Grounds-
>> Becky Lynch forced Seth Rollins to
sleep in the bathtub for a month.
>> Come on.
>> That's what I heard.
>> Who are your sources?
>> I got sources.
>> And look at Nikki Cross with a cheap shot.
Yes, she's learning well from Alexa.
>> Maybe some of that Celtic pride that Becky was talking about earlier.
>> And Alexa driving Becky Lynch, she hit the apron hard, and she fell to the floor.
And Becky could be hurt,
she can I'll afford an injury two weeks away from SummerSlam.
>> Take a look at this.
>> Bang.
>> Nikki Cross paying off, and I need to correct myself.
I meant after Extreme Rules, but Stomping Grounds,
they were still getting along fine.
But once The Beast came into the picture- >> Why didn't you call that replay for
what it was, a cheap shot by Alexa?
>> I was simply- >> I mean by [INAUDIBLE]
>> Choosing a positive point of view,
Nikki Cross paying dividends being on the outside, helping her friend Alexa Bliss.
>> And here comes the Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch building momentum.
And Becky knocks down Alexa Bliss.
>> The Man is fired up.
>> [NOISE] >> Nikki looking on
concerned about her friend Alexa.
>> [NOISE] >> And
Natalya- >> That's Alexa.
>> Who will face Becky Lynch- >> Sorry, my bad.
>> Well, are you gonna let me finish my story?
>> Sorry, sorry, my bad. >> Here's a cover by Alexa Bliss,
kick out at two.
>> Don't worry, Cole, Twitter was nice to Renee yesterday, she's on an ego trip.
>> [LAUGH] Nonetheless, the point I was gonna make is Natalya, I guarantee you,
is looking on, trying to figure out some of the weaknesses in Becky Lynch's armor.
>> [NOISE] >> One, two, three
>> And look at Alexa go
>> [NOISE]
>> Renee, you're jumping tonight.
>> Listen, I was just trying to correct you, trying to keep us on track
>> And look at Becky now roll through,
Alexa in trouble shoulders down and a kick out at two.
>> Ordinarily I would call that a school girl since a woman perform, but
since we're talking about The Man, is it still a schoolboy?
>> Yes.
>> Alexa very, very confident.
Why shouldn't she be multi time champion,
version of abdominal stretch here on Becky.
>> [NOISE] >> What, biting?
>> Becky was trying to put her hand and Alexis mouth and impede her breathing.
>> [NOISE] >> It's another cheap shot another,
cheap tactic by The Man.
>> [NOISE] >> Uh-oh, Bliss.
>> Uh-oh. >> Looking for the Disarmer again.
>> No, no.
>> Alexa rolling up Becky, doing a nice job countering
the Disarmer here tonight, and a right hand by Bliss.
>> [NOISE] >> How proud Nikki Cross is to be aligned
with The Goddess as she should be.
>> Now, things are looking up for Bliss.
>> Bliss to the knees right to the mid- >> How's that feel?
How did that feel?
>> [NOISE] >> And again,
now Bliss a roll through into the moonsault.
>> The knees right to the midsection, Bliss cover on the champ,
can she knock off The Man?
And a kick out at two, and again a cover by Bliss.
>> Look, the official completely out of position there.
>> [NOISE] >> Big time right hands.
>> Alexa Bliss seizing this opportunity to take a beating in here on The Man.
>> Cover again by Bliss, is it enough to knock off Becky Lynch?
And a kick out.
And perhaps Alexa getting frustrated as Lynch hangs on to this match-up.
>> I don't think Becky was expecting this kind of a fight out of Alexa tonight.
>> The only person to blame for that is Becky Lynch.
>> Nobody- >> And her ego.
>> Becky rolled out of harm's way.
There's a basement dropkick >> [NOISE]
>> And Becky trying to rally
>> [NOISE]
>> Hands on the apron, kick.
>> Another one connects, The Goddess rocked at the moment.
>> Looking for the Bexploder but Alexa able to counter.
>> [NOISE] >> Alexa doing a really nice job
tonight against the Raw Women's Champion.
>> You act surprised Michael, this is Alexa Bliss we're talking about..
>> This is bad for Becky Lynch.
She's got a championship match in less than two weeks.
>> Nobody home, Becky rolling out of harm's way clothesline,
now here comes the champ.
>> [NOISE] >> Becky missed wildly.
This time connected.
>> That one connects. Alexa Bliss holding her ankle.
>> [NOISE] >> And now Becky with the Bexploder.
And I think Alexa is hurt.
>> [NOISE] >> Hey,
hey, hold on, hold on, what's going on?
Hey, Alexa, talk to me, what's going on?
What is wrong, your ankle?
Hey, Becky, stay there, stay there.
>> [NOISE] >> Hurry
up.
>> [NOISE]
>> Let's see what happened here on the Bexploder by Becky.
>> It was actually slightly before this, as before Becky hooked the Bexploder,
Alexa was clutching for her right ankle.
>> Can she continue?
Hey, listen to me, can she continue?
>> [NOISE]
>> Hey, can you move it at all?
>> Hey, look at me.
>> She has injury to her ankle, all right?
>> [NOISE] >> Ladies and gentlemen,
I've just been informed that Alexa Bliss is unable to continue.
Therefore, your winner of the match is the Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch.
>> I guarantee you that's not the way that Becky wanted to win this match here
tonight.
But Becky does win and continues to build momentum towards SummerSlam and
her match with Natalya in two weeks streaming live on the WWE Network.
