[SOUND] So in the first time ever the NXT women's championship is defended on
a WWE Pay-per-view event.
Kairi Sane on the right Shayna Baszler on the left.
For Baszler it is about strikes, it is about submission.
For Sane it is about staying away from Baszler.
And trying to take to the sky and deliver the Insane Elbow to put Baszler away.
>> The number one worldwide trend WWE evolution.
You guys I saw these to tear the roof off of the place in the finals of
the May Young Classic last year.
I expect to see the same this year we are gonna see a clinic.
I got to talk to Shayna Baszler's good friend Ronda Rousey and
Rousey just said Shayna has such incredible work ethic, but
she's more than an athlete more than a performer.
She's fought with women who aren't supposed to fight and
Ronda was actually a fan of Shayna before she even got involved in the game.
>> And hey, Shayna knows how to perform at the big stage.
She won her first NXT championship WrestleMania Weekend at
NXT Takeover New Orleans.
Kairi Sane of course winning in Brooklyn on SummerSlam Weekend.
There's Kairi Sane with a leg sweep taking down Baszler and
that caught Shayna off guard.
>> Shayna maybe her own worst enemy in this.
She does- >> And that caught by Kairi Sane.
Nice takedown, went for the kick,
Baszler though from behind trying to wrestle Sane down to the mat.
Sane able to get out of that.
Went across the ring, Baszler misses with a kick.
Sane, went for the back elbow and Shayna caught her here again.
>> Going to the sleeper.
>> Shayna looks like she's ready to close this match out early.
>> And remember Shayna has gotta be careful if she grabbed that hair there,
because it's the champions advantage size same with a neckbreaker.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Shayna Baszler needs to pin or
submit Kairi Sane in order to win the championship.
And Sane now, there is that sliding Clothesline.
>> Kairi gathers a lot of her impact from her speed.
>> Calls that the sliding D Back clothesline,
follows it up with the boots right to the mid section.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Kairi on the apron.
And Kairi Sane is taking the fight to Shayna Baszler.
Baszler, again we mentioned, killer instinct for Sane.
>> Michael, I'm really surprised to see this approach from Kairi.
>> Kairi up on the top of the steps, up over the top, lands on her feet.
Baszler runs into a massive slap by Sane that drops her to her knees and
again Kairi Sane taking the fight to Shayna here tonight.
>> Let's go Shayna >> And Baszler driving Kairi Sane
into the steps into the ring now to break the count.
Kairi is in trouble and the dangerous Baszler on the pursuit.
>> Get up Kairi.
>> Shayna Baszler has gotta get Kairi back in the ring title cannot change hands on
a count out.
>> Exactly champions advantage.
>> Get inside.
>> Baszlerto into the ring, Sane is in trouble holding the midsection.
>> Shayna just has such a sadistic approach.
>> Watch this now.
It was a Kairi catching the boot of Baszler.
>> Now watch this. [SOUND]
>> The impact of Kairi running right into
those steal steps.
>> And you weaken the arm now of Sane and it sets you up for so
many of Baszler's submission, the Hammerlock, Arm Bar.
Face first goes Sane for the cover to win the championship here tonight.
>> Shane is so dangerous because she's really proficient in throws.
She knows her judo, she knows all kinds of MMA styles.
She really can use it to get you in some dangerous position.
>> And this is where she is so dangerous to your point Beck,
the body part manipulation that Baszler is capable of.
>> Now working on the wrist and fingers and the hand and the arm of Kairi Sane.
>> Gosh.
>> And Sane now in trouble.
>> My god.
>> Trying to make, and look at the way that her arm is bent on the rope.
The official, >> Come on Shayna.
>> That is an unnatural place.
[CROSSTALK] >> She may have broken Kairi Sane's hand.
>> Talk of this brutal approach that Shayna Baszler has that's such a perfect
example.
That was disgusting.
>> Your arm is not meant to bend in those ways.
>> Here's the cover. >> And a kicked out by Kairi Sane again
but if this continues, and if this happens again this match is over.
Baszler whoop to the left hand of Kairi Sane.
And now look at the position of Kairi's arm.
>> Shayna has got a nice Key Lock applied there.
Applying the pressure standing up gives it more leverage,
Kairi being a shorter opponent.
>> Now look at Kairi looking to steal one here open.
>> Rolled her up and Shayna kicked out.
>> I'd like to see more back from Kairi more sticking move if she can just
get free.
>> Aah! >> And that's the key here Beck can
she get free?
Shayna Baszler is all over her.
The problem is once you get in the clutches of a submission expert like
Shayna, you are in big trouble.
>> Yeah. >> Now we know Shayna Baszler and
Ronda Rousey are such close friends, and both of them,
you can see the looks on their face- >> My god.
How much can Kairi take?
She may have a broken hand, she could have a dislocated shoulder.
And Shayna Baszler showing no remorse.
>> And here's what I was talking about the lion playing with
their prey Shayna really enjoys watching the opponent pain.
>> Watch this.
Baszler, my god.
And Kairi though fighting back.
Baszler with a smile on her face.
>> No.
>> And Kairi Sane.
>> Kairi's showing why she's the NXT women's champion.
>> I don't know if you want to get into a fist fight with Shayna Baszler.
>> I gotta agree with you Michael, I'm surprised to see this from Kairi.
>> A kick to the bad arm.
>> It's showing a lot of heart.
>> And there's the speed of Kairi Sane.
>> And now, Baszler with a running knee.
>> And Sane caught her with a backhand.
I didn't think she got all of it but it stunned Baszler.
>> Sometimes it just takes that quick tap right to the jaw, it'll take you down.
And now both women are down center of the ring.
Baszler and of course the champion Kairi Sane.
>> NXT NXT NXT- >> And
the NXT chance they get here at Nassau Coliseum.
Kairi somehow trying to,
trying to get Baszler it into a submission position here.
>> Shayna, okay Shayna.
Shayna what's up.
>> Kairi Sane going for what she calls The Atari.
>> Shayna.
>> That bent over submission now on Shayna Baszler.
>> Will the damage done to her arm come into play?
>> Yeah perhaps it did, because Baszler was able to get out of it.
Went right back to the arm on the attack.
>> You've got ripped tendons, maybe a broken finger, you can't escape that.
>> Look at the pain on Kairi's face.
>> Again that Hammerlock position.
>> Spreading it into the turnbuckle shoulder first.
Kairi Sane delivers a smack, and then another one.
And Baszler trying to cover up in the corner.
kairi Sane now on the attack trying to build some momentum.
She showing she's still in this guys.
And now the referee Jessica Carr looking to back Sane off on the attack.
>> Kairi Sane had success over Shana Baszler before,
it wouldn't be an upset here tonight.
>> Kairi of course won the championship from Shayna Baszler.
Kairi with a spear.
Can she take advantage?
>> Come on.
>> A huge asset in Kairi Sane's treasure chest is her resilience.
>> [SOUND] Kairi Sane gonna walk the plank.
We've seen this before.
>> Buries her shoulder in the midsection of Shayna Baszler, and
now Kairi, there is the neckbreaker.
Can Kairi put her away and retain the championship?
Hook to the leg, enough no, kick out by Shayna Baszler.
>> But you can see Michael with each and every effort Kairi makes that arm
is coming into play, she continues to hold it.
I think some serious damage might have been done.
Now it's to just throw off your body when you're favoring a certain body part Beck.
Particularly when you have a move set that you're relying on It makes everything more
challenging.
[SOUND] You have to adapt, you have to be resilient.
You have to figure out a different way to do it.
>> Kairi is going up to the top rope.
And now Shayna Blaszer quickly back to her feet, a kick to the back of the neck and
now continues to work on the injured arm of Kairi Sane.
>> Look at that strength.
>> Look at that torturing Kairi.
Kairi Sane screaming in pain and Baszler breaking before the five count.
That would have got her disqualified.
>> Shayna just lifted Kairi Sane a foot in the air.
>> She could have ripped Kairi's shoulder right out of the socket.
>> And now mocking the Pirate Princess.
This woman, Shayna Baszler has absolutely no compassion.
>> Look at the power of Shayna Baszler, holding Kairi by her entire weight and
just dropping her to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
>> For Kairi Sane to have her own weight dragged on her body like that,
what damage has already been inflicted.
>> Shayna, could be closing in on her second Women's Championship in NXT.
>> A DDT, though.
Desperation move by Kairi Sane.
And now Kairi is gonna go up top.
And Kairi is gonna look to put Shayna Baszler away with the Insane Elbow.
And Shayna wisely rolls out of harms way.
Now what's Kairi gonna do.
>> What's Kiari thinking.
What's Kiari doing.
>> From the top rope.
>> My god.
>> Crossbody right here in front of us taking out Shayna Baszler.
What a move by Kairi Sane, the champion putting it on the line.
>> Kairi Sane throwing caution to the wind.
This is women's wrestling.
What a move to see up close.
>> And look at Shayna Baszler side stepping Kairi and
throwing her into the barricade.
And now Shayna Baszler launched right
into the lap of the front row here at Evolution.
>> No.
>> We've had a front row it was filled with some of the NXT women's superstars.
>> Looks like it just got wiped out.
>> And now Kairi brings up Baszler back into the arena.
And listen the, wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute that's Jessamyn Duke.
That Jessamyn Duke, that is Shayna Baszler's buddy, one of the horsewomen.
>> And a vicious backfist takes care of Jessamyn.
>> And the official did not see what was going on.
But meanwhile Sane and Baszler back into the ring.
And now Kairi Sane are gonna go up to the top rope and now this.
Wait a minute, that is Marina Shafir I think.
Baszler's other buddy.
And a backhand by Sane takes her off.
>> Get out of here.
>> And meanwhile from behind, Shayna Baszler.
Baszler looking to lock it in, looking to lock to the Karamuda Clutch.
And there it is, it's in on Kairi Sane.
Rolls through shoulders down, and Baszler at two.
>> Shayna thought she had Kairi destracted there.
That's how Kairi brought home the NXT Women's Champion before.
>> Now look at this, roll through, shoulders down.
Kick out by Baszler.
And now Duke got involved.
And the official didn't see it.
Another Karamuda Clutch by Shayna Baszler.
Center of the ring.
Baszler has got Kairi in trouble.
Is Kairi gonna tap?
>> Kairi is barely conscious.
She's fading fast.
>> The official is right there.
Kairi's Sane is fading.
The Karamuda clutch is locked in by Shayna Baszler.
>> Kairi Sane is struggling with every ounce of her body right now.
>> How much does Kairi have left?
>> You can see the color draining from Kairi Sane's face.
>> Is Kairi gonna be able to somehow get out of this move,
Baszler's got it locked in.
Kairi Sane is fading, Kairi's in trouble.
>> She's almost out.
>> Kairi Sane does she have one last gasp in her?
Kairi said, I believe- >> She's done.
>> Is down and out.
Kairi's Sane is out.
>> You gotta tow bell.
>> Ring the bell.
[SOUND] >> The official will award
the NXT Women's Championship to Shayna Baszler.
>> Your winner and new NXT Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler.
>> Shayna Baszler makes history tonight,
becoming the first ever two time NXT Women's Champion.
But the other story here tonight is this.
The four horsewomen.
Other than that, will Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir, Jessamyn Duke and
Ronda Rousey.
Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke helped Shayna Baszler win
the NXT Women's Championship tonight.
>> Cole Shayna may have made history but
I gotta tell you this feels like a tainted victory.
>> Of course it's a tainted victory.
I mean Shayna Baszler dominated much of that match.
I won't take that away Baszler, but the fact that her friends got involved.
The official was dealing with Kairi Sane and
didn't see Duke which allowed Shayna Baszler to lock in the Karamuda Clutch.
What a matchup.
And this is Shayna Baszler launched right into the front row.
All the NXT women superstars who were here in support of this match tonight.
Now I want you to watch this.
From behind Jessamyn Duke grabbing the hair of Kairi Sane.
That was the first involvement.
>> Kairi Sane doing her best to fend off the attack from Jessamyn Duke and
then Marina Shafir getting involved the second time.
Kairi had to defend against two people.
>> And Shafir paid for it with that backhand by Kairi Sane and
now Jessamyn Duke with a kick that the official never saw.
And Kairi Sane landed in the lap of Shayna Baszler.
The Karamuda Clutch.
A valiant effort by the former champion Kairi Sane until she could go no more..
She passed to Shayna Baszler who wins her second NXT Women's Championship.
>> Cole you talked about the Four Horsewomen and Ronda Rousey say,
she's a big believer in fate and destiny and these things happen for a reason.
[MUSIC]
>> And Shayna Baszler trying to celebrate with her friends, Shafir and Duke.
Baszler and again the NXT women's champion which does not fold well for
the rest of the NXT women's locker room.
Shayna Baszler is a force to be reckoned with, but
I don't believe we have heard the last breath of Kairi Sane.
>> We absolutely haven't heard the last of Kaira Sane,
she had such an incredible showing tonight.
Can't take anything away from Kairi.
[MUSIC]
