[NOISE] >> Mickie James versus that
challenger Katie Lea Burchill.
I know you were checking out Katie Lea as the daily diva on wwe.com earlier today.
>> I always check out the divas on wwe.com.
>> Katie Lea, look at a quick victory here in the early go into the matchup.
Backslide on Mickie James, champ caught off guard a bit.
Katie Lea scoot over, may have, and a kick out by Mickie.
And perhaps, Katie Lea is in Mickie's head, considering she holds two pin fall
victories over the champion in recent weeks.
>> Well, I think, Katie Lea Burchill has not been on Raw for all that long.
And I don't know if anybody knew exactly how good her wrestling abilities were.
But apparently, they're better than most people thought.
>> And Mickie James, the champion, four-time champion.
She is a sparkplug, a firecracker to say the least.
Pinning for the victory, went for the bridge and Katie Lea kicked out.
>> Kicked out quickly.
>> Words of encouragement from Brother Paul.
>> [NOISE] >> Katie Lea said in wwe.com, Steve and
his kin that she's the real champion, that she's already beaten Mickie James and
that she'll have more pride and class as a champion than Mickie ever did.
>> Come on, well, if you can win these matches and win matches with your mouth.
She's gonna be the world champion and the Women's Champion, but
she's gonna have to do it in the ring when the title's at stake like tonight.
>> Off the monkey planting Mickie James needs to pick up the pace
against Katie Lea which he needs to do.
>> Wow, there's four on there.
>> [NOISE] >> Man.
>> [NOISE] >> Yes,
the scrappy Mickie James is gonna head to the top ropes.
>> [NOISE] >> I do not like the tactics with words.
>> Well, yeah, but you know it's just like I said, that it's a little unsettling
to have brother Paul screaming at his sister, I mean, one another.
What's about to happen here from Mickie James?
Now look at this.
>> [NOISE] >> Katie Lea looking to take advantage,
here's the cover, champion in trouble and a kick out.
Little bit of a distraction there my brother Paul.
Mickie James [CROSSTALK] is almost interference.
>> [NOISE] >> Man,
that's a move that Mickie James has won a lot of matches.
>> Hook to the leg by the champ and a kick out.
>> [NOISE] >> Now it's Katie Lea that's on the run.
>> [NOISE] >> Katie Lea didn't stay on the run.
>> Not for long.
>> Right back in the ring and right back on the offensive, uh-oh, watch out.
Man, right on that arm.
>> Suplex by Katie Lea, the more powerful of the two round.
>> Mickie James caught neither when she landed.
>> Come on, come on.
>> [NOISE] >> This deliberate knee favoring the arm.
>> [NOISE] >> Katie Lea pull off that suplex,
Mickie James' arm was behind her.
She landed right on it.
>> Man, that could separate her shoulder.
>> [NOISE] >> It's like a snake just about to
strike her.
>> [NOISE] >> He's playing mind games
with Mickie at the very least.
>> [NOISE] >> Man, and
Katie has targeted the shoulder, the left arm of Mickie James.
>> [NOISE] >> Stay there, hey, hey, hey, back off.
>> [NOISE]
>> Listen to the impact, man.
Here's the cover by Katie, hooks leg and a kick out by the champ.
You heard referee Jack Nolan moments ago,
asking Mickie James if she could continue in this match.
>> [NOISE] >> Yeah,
that's part of the referees job in there.
I mean, if somebody is injured, he's got to keep their opponent off and
check to see if they're able to continue or not.
>> Probably, you'd stop the match.
Look at the way Mickey was rammed into that corner.
Wasn't sure whether she was gonna be able to continue or not.
>> Katie saw the opening in the injured arm and is looking to take advantage.
In her first championship here in WWE.
>> Here we go.
>> And look at Mickie hammering away on Katie Lea.
It's been a night of first, King.
First major title for Mark Henry.
First tag team title for Ted DiBiase in his debut.
Kingston wins his first title.
>> No. >> And Katie Lea looking to win her first
title tonight as well at the Night of Champions.
>> She may be three seconds away.
>> Hook to the leg and the gutsy Mickie James kicks out again.
>> [NOISE] >> At some point, King,
you gotta wonder how much longer Mickie's gonna be able to continue.
>> I know, it's some kind of sneaky.
No shame right now, get out of the ring, buy yourself some time.
That shoulder recuperate a little bit.
>> [NOISE] >> Look at that,
she's not even able to defend herself right now.
She's not even able to lift that left arm.
>> Can't even get out of the the corner.
>> [NOISE] >> Can be a matter of
moments before Katie Lea is the new Women's Champion.
>> [NOISE] >> Mickie trying to battle back in
this matchup.
>> Can't use your arm, maybe the legs will do.
There we go.
>> Resolute Mickie James, nice move.
>> [NOISE] >> And
the Women's Champion trying to build momentum.
Look at her left arm, it's just hanging there limp.
>> The one arm champ.
>> [NOISE] >> Katie misses wildly with a kick,
Mickie didn't miss with hers.
>> [NOISE] >> Unique snap there,
cover, hook to the leg, and a kick out by Katie.
>> Mickie just doesn't have enough strength in that left
arm to hold Katie Lea down.
>> Nice kick. >> Can't hook the leg or
put any pressure on her opponent.
>> [NOISE] >> Mickie was going for the victory there,
back into the armbar.
And look at this submission maneuver locked into the already injured arm of
Mickie James.
And Mickie's in trouble, nowhere near the bottom ropes.
>> [NOISE] >> Remember, if Mickie submits,
the title will change hands.
>> Mickie trying desperately to get to those ropes and
the referee break this hold.
>> [NOISE] >> Brother Paul screaming for
Mickie to give up.
Mickie not gonna give up, not quite yet.
Nice arm drag, buys herself some time.
>> [NOISE] >> Well, no, not again.
>> [NOISE] >> For
the second time in this matchup, Mickie's shoulder driven into the turnbuckle.
>> And here's another one of this, no, wait a minute.
Mickie able to counter, Katie in trouble, Mickie.
>> DDT.
>> DDT, can Mickie take advantage?
>> Cover, cover, Mickie.
>> Cover with her good arm, hooks the leg, Mickie's got her.
[SOUND] >> Yes, man.
>> Here's your winner and still the WWE Women's champion, Mickie James.
>> King, what a gutsy performance from the Women's Champion,
Mickie James here at Night of Champions.
Man, I'm sweating.
>> What a match, way to hang in there, Mickie.
I mean, I'm gonna tell you,
I honestly thought that Women's Title was gonna be gone.
There are a number of times in that matchup I thought Mickie was gonna submit.
Once you're gonna be able to continue but
Mickie James retains the Women's Championship.
