The Women's Tag Team titles about to be defended here in Toronto.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
>> What a night it was this past week on Raw a Fatal-4 Way Elimination Match as
we saw Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss, win the titles.
[MUSIC]
>> I questioned a long time the union of Bliss and Corss but I'll tell you what,
they surprised me.
[SOUND] >> The following contest scheduled for
one fall is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
Introducing the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nikki Cross, and Alexa Bliss.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Alexa Bliss channeling her
inner Buzz Lightyear here tonight at SummerSlam, teaming up with Nikki Cross,
two very great friends.
>> What does that even mean, Phillips?
[MUSIC]
>> And introducing the challengers, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, The IIconics.
>> Philips Billie Kay's channeling her inner Minotaur.
>> It's actually Maleficent if you would pay attention to the film.
>> What do you, are we at Disney, are we a bunch of children all of a sudden?
>> What would SummerSlam be without the longest reigning,
WWE, Women's Tag Team Champions?
>> [NOISE] >> It would be nothing,
but it's okay we are here, and you little little
Toy Story wannabes, you never pinged us for our titles.
>> That's exactly right.
And we are here to take back what is ours.
>> What?
>> [NOISE] >> Because we still are the future.
>> And the future is?
>> [NOISE] >> IIconic.
>> Well, glad these two are over their emotional meltdown after they lost
the tag team titles.
>> I talked to Peyton and Billy earlier today,
they said they spent the last 24 hours locked in the same hotel room.
In the same bed, meshing and melding their energies and
emotions so they are as cohesive, as a unit can possibly be.
>> That sounds absolutely miserable
[MUSIC]
>> I do wanna take a moment and
talk about what Royce and Kay were just claiming that they weren't
tenders submitted to loose their titles- >> What are you trying to poke a hole in
that theory [CROSSTALK] cuz it's true, it's dead on.
>> Yeah, but it was an Elimination Match so it didn't matter they were pinned and
eliminated.
They actually were the first team eliminated, and
then came Mandy Rose Sonya Deville.
Of course Asuka and Kairi Sane who ultimately, fell to Bliss and Cross.
>> Anyone who has followed the IIconics knows these two are full of excuses.
Look at one point they claim their puppy fever,
Billy Kay apparently had mad cow bird flu disease at some point.
These two, were the most pros at evasion when they were Tag Team Champions.
>> Listen, when you are a global traveller like The IIconics are,
sometimes you pick up a weird disease or two.
>> Less than 19 minutes until the SummerSlam pay-per-view
begins streaming live, on the WWE Network.
>> [NOISE] >> And
it's Alexa Bliss trying to slow down, Billie Kay.
>> Come on.
>> Whoa.
>> [LAUGH] >> She doesn't have a laser on her hand,
it's a blinking light Phillips.
>> I told you. >> There's not even a laser on the toy in
the movie, this is ridiculous.
I am embarassed, I am about to turn in my Alexa Bliss fan card.
>> Ouch. >> Yeah.
>> That really- >> That's where I'm at, here comes Woodie,
okay Mr. Light beer, this is ridiculous.
>> Remind me of my childhood Corey.
>> And Nikki cross coming in strong in the corner, and
Peyton Royce, part of the build up.
>> There's a snake in my boot.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Let's keep going.
>> Yeah I got all night.
>> No Cross going up to the top turnbuckle,
trying to pick up the momentum here crossbody.
>> One. >> Trying to put away Royce and
a kick out.
>> [NOISE] >> I would pay to have a best friend like
Nikki Cross.
>> I would pay someone to be your best friend so you'd leave me alone.
>> Back elbow >> [NOISE]
>> Now Peyton Royce going
for a- >> One.
>> Opportunity of her own, Nikki Cross able to escape tag made by Billie Kay.
>> [NOISE] >> And using the top rope I don't know if
Cross, was aware of the initial tag, and now Billy Kay trying to capitalize.
Hook to the leg kick out by Cross.
>> You just feel the desperation from The IIconics right now to do whatever it
takes, to regain the women's tag team titles.
>> And a cover here on Cross and a kick out.
They are the longest reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in history Byron,
[CROSSTALK] three times.
>> Exactly, and?
>> And they took every excuse to Byron's point earlier to avoid defending them.
>> Two, hey, Kairi outside the ring.
>> And now Peyton Royce trying to slowdown Nikki Cross,
guys I thought you'be happy to see Cross and Bliss their friendship blossoming.
This way becoming Tag Team Champions together.
>> You mean like how I've come out here week after week and told Byron and
everybody else that they actually were friends.
Nobody believed me, they become Tag Team Champions now I'm supposed to act like I
wasn't right the whole time.
This is ridiculous,
Alexa Bliss is embarrassing herself just like a Disney character.
I want the mean, the evil goddess- >> Tag.
>> Not some sort of berate Disney movie.
>> Why are you in such a bad mood today?
>> Cuz I'm in Toronto.
>> I like Toronto.
>> I bet you do.
>> [NOISE] >> Now Billie Kay talking trash from
the corner to Alexa Bliss, again slowing down the pace here against Nikki Cross.
>> [NOISE] >> Good test here for Bliss and Cross
earlier into the reign, again we mentioned the teams that they had to fend off.
Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose, of course the Kabuki Warriors,
a lot of talented tag teams that are gonna step up, against Bliss and Cross.
This is where that union was really get tested between Alexa Bliss, and
Nikki Cross.
So far smooth sailing, but it's gonna be a rocky road potentially,
going down the line.
>> You wanna know why else I'm out on this team?
Cuz this is the first time Saxton's spoken good,
>> One.
>> Cover cover, and a kick out.
>> Of Alexa Bliss in basically ever.
It's like if your dad all of a sudden thought your favorite band was cool.
You're done, you're gonna change bands.
>> That's what this is.
>> [NOISE] >> Now Billie Kay certainly fired up here
tonight and now it's Peyton Royce who's legal into this matchup.
Big night for the Women's Division here at WWE of course,
Bayley defends against Ember Moon the SmackDown Women's title.
Submission Match for the Raw Women's Championship.
Becky Lynch and Natalya plus the dream match, Trish Stratus, and Charlotte Flair.
Jawbreaker by Nikki Cross, now Cross, trying to scramble to the corner.
And a great job I Peyton Royce.
>> [NOISE] >> Cross reaching,
just inches away from Alexa Bliss.
>> [NOISE] >> Nikki Cross and
Peyton Royce were both thinking the same thing.
>> Nikki Cross has somehow gotta find a way to make the tag,
to a fresh Alexa Bliss.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Royce trying to climb to her corner and
now Cross makes the tag.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Down goes Billy Kay.
>> Go ahead Byron get excited act like you've been on the Bliss train
the whole time.
>> Listen I call it like I see it right now Alexa Bliss doing a good job of
controlling, the moment here.
>> You're an embarrassment.
>> Insult to injury by Alexa Bliss and now Peyton Royce trying to come in and
run interference.
>> [NOISE] >> Watch out.
>> Bam.
>> Love it.
>> Big boot by Billy Kay, to recapture the title, broken up by Nikki Cross.
>> I was expecting Moana to come save the day.
>> Do you ever stop?
>> I'm just getting started Saxton we got all night.
>> Lucky us.
>> [NOISE] >> A tag made in comes Peyton Royce
now The IIconics, trying to close this thing out, trying to recapture the titles.
>> Wait a second. >> Was setting up for the knee and
a great job by Bliss to get out of dodge.
>> [NOISE] >> And Nikki Cross from behind.
>> [NOISE] >> And Nikki Cross, topeling Billie Kay,
Peyton Royce missed with a kick.
>> Now check this out great, innovative offense, that will jack your back.
>> Peyton Royce to win the titles, and a kick out by Bliss.
>> [NOISE] >> No.
>> Boy, time for another emotional meltdown.
>> [NOISE] >> Too late.
>> [NOISE] >> Peyton Royce needs to
get it together here.
>> [NOISE] >> [LAUGH]
>> Big right hand by Alexa Bliss.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Peyton's out.
>> Caught Peyton Royce from out of nowhere and now Alexa Bliss,
going up to the top turnbuckle.
