00:00And the tag team titles against the Usos, you're the champions.
00:03You got to keep an eye out for both Stroman and Ricochet.
00:06Speaking of tag team titles in a matter of moments, Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan,
00:10defend the tag team titles against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
00:12This is what happened this past Monday night on Raw after Sonya and
00:15Chelsea picked up the victory in a tag team matchup.
00:18Raquel and Liv were at ringside and now just doing it to embarrass Liv Morgan.
00:25Chelsea Green tossing water into Morgan's face to send a little bit of a message.
00:31Liv, Raquel, after what Chelsea and
00:37Sonya did to you last week,
00:41how eager are you to get your hands on them in your first title defense?
00:48Okay, they want to see messy.
00:49I will show them messy.
00:50I'll be the messiest person they've ever seen.
00:51They're gonna wish that they never- Hey, hey, hey.
00:54Easy loquita, save it for the ring.
00:57Watch us.
00:59Watch me.
01:01Watch me.
01:10Watch me.
01:21Well, Liv Morgan is, um, different.
01:25Unhinged, the word you buy.
01:26That's a nice word as well.
01:28Raquel Rodriguez is powerful, and they
01:31make one heck of a tag team.
01:33Of course, the current women's tag team champions.
01:37They knocked off Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus
01:41a couple of weeks ago.
01:42Interesting explanation on Raw this past Monday night
01:46by Trish Stratus, why she attacked Becky Lynch.
01:49But nonetheless, coming up next here on Friday Night
01:51SmackDown, Raquel Rodriguez says, quote,
01:54I can't wait to shut them up.
01:56Liv Morgan said, the world is ours.
01:59Morgan and Rodriguez defend the tag titles
02:01against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
02:03It's live on Friday Night SmackDown.
02:08Macho.
02:09And you are looking at the women's tag team champions,
02:11Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
02:14And tonight, Friday Night SmackDown on Fox
02:16is sponsored by Progressive.
02:19It's Chelsea.
02:42the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
02:52Introducing first, the team of Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
03:00Cut the music, cut the music.
03:03When we grace you with our presence, you sit down,
03:09shut your mouth and show us some respect.
03:12Hey, that's no way to treat your future WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
03:22Now, Sonya, how could we possibly expect these normies to
03:28understand what it's like to wake up every single morning winning?
03:34Hey, Chelsea, speaking of winning, should we give them a little
03:39repeat of what they saw on Monday Night Raw?
03:43And furthermore, show them why we're winners and you're losers.
03:50Hey, hey, hey, Sonya, doesn't Liv look a little thirsty?
03:57Yes, yes, whoa.
03:59Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:01Ha, ha, ha.
04:04So this is for the Women's Tag Team titles.
04:07Liv Morgan, as Wade said earlier, a bit unhinged.
04:10And Raquel Rodriguez, defending against Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green.
04:15You know, I realized something.
04:17I was going to say I realized something, but go ahead.
04:18You're a normie.
04:19Well, you know, I was going to say, you remind me a lot of Chelsea and Sonya.
04:23Really?
04:24because all three of you have kind of a grating presence.
04:28And there's Liv Morgan with a dropkick driving Green to the corner.
04:32That's a little payback for the drink in the face, perhaps.
04:36And Sonya Deville now legal.
04:38Morgan and Deville, who have had quite the history, Wade, roll through now.
04:42Sonya Deville, shoulders down.
04:48Liv Morgan, who's gone extreme, so to speak, on Deville a number of times in
04:52their rivalry over the past year.
04:55Clearly has a screw loose.
04:57It was a hot start to the match by Liv Morgan, however,
05:01clipped with that drink in the face from Raw on her mind.
05:04A little payback to Chelsea Green.
05:06What do you make of this tag team of Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan?
05:10I love it.
05:10It's the odd couple pairing that perhaps shouldn't work, but does work.
05:15It's the combination of the extreme Liv Morgan and
05:18the biggest powerhouse in the women's division.
05:21Raquel Rodriguez, a woman I've admired for a long time since her NXT days.
05:26And she's now taking control of Sonya Deville, but, ooh, the very sly Deville.
05:33You know what, this duo of Sonya Deville, Chelsea Green,
05:36a lot of people online are referring to them as the complaint department of WWE.
05:41But it has to be said the complaints last week paid off
05:44by getting them an opportunity at the gold tonight.
05:46Well, yeah, but if you complain and get opportunities,
05:48then you've got to make sure you cash in those opportunities.
05:52Presumably what we're working towards right now, Michael Cole.
05:55A couple of waist lock takedowns by Raquel Rodriguez.
05:58Again, just powering Chelsea Green.
06:02Tag made, and here comes Liv Morgan, former SmackDown champion,
06:06also former Money in the Bank winner.
06:07Chelsea Green catches her with a knee.
06:11And now Chelsea Green gonna try to show off her athletic prowess.
06:15But she was intercepted by Raquel Rodriguez.
06:19Showing off some of those power moves we know and love.
06:22But keep your eye on the prize.
06:24Sonya wiping out Raquel.
06:26That's a little tag team chemistry from the challengers here.
06:29Don't celebrate too soon, though.
06:31Can you imagine if Chelsea and Sonya could knock off Liv and Raquel tonight?
06:37They would have nothing left to moan about.
06:39But it's a pace in WWE for once.
06:41I'm sure they'd find something to complain about.
06:44Again, I mean, maybe the titles don't look good around their waist or something.
06:49You know what? Hats off to them.
06:50The squeaky wheel gets the grease in there.
06:51Morgan, cover to retain, and a kick out.
06:54I must have seen it a million times in my career.
06:56Guys who camped outside the boss's office got more opportunities than the meek and
07:01mild superstars who didn't say a food to a goose.
07:05I can't even count on, hold my hands,
07:08how many times I saw you in a chair outside the boss's office.
07:11Goodness, Chelsea Green stacking her up to try to win the gold using the ropes to
07:16her advantage, and referee Jason Ayers right there in court.
07:19You can't do that to me, man.
07:21Eagle-eyed referee, good job.
07:23We almost had new tag champions at that point, but
07:26Liv Morgan is in a world of trouble at this point.
07:30And what's interesting about this, Wade, is that Sonya and
07:32Chelsea really looking great as a tag team, and they haven't been together that long.
07:37And I think they had a strategy in- Growing the drink in Liv's face.
07:41It was tactical.
07:42They want to unhinge Liv, get her out of her normal mode of fighting,
07:47make her make mistakes, and then capitalize.
07:50That is how you win gold.
07:51Man, how many times I've had stuff thrown in my face over here.
07:54I imagine it's a nightly occurrence at the bar.
07:57I've been to a few bars, but you're absolutely my own loss.
07:59And now the referee, look at Chelsea Green taking advantage.
08:02Sonya drawing the referee.
08:04Chelsea takes advantage.
08:06Deville drops Morgan, hook of the leg.
08:08Is it enough?
08:09And again, trying to use the ropes to their advantage.
08:11Friday Night SmackDown on Fox is live tonight at the Ohio State University.
08:16Jam-packed, huge tag team championship match.
08:20Rodriguez and Morgan defending against Deville and Chelsea Green.
08:25Still to come tonight, Solo Sakoa, Matt Riddle, no disqualification.
08:29And Guther defends the Intercontinental Championship against Xavier Woods.
08:34Morgan, double neck breaker.
08:37Well, this referee has been too eagle-eyed for Deville and Green this far.
08:42He's almost caught every tactic they've employed.
08:46Tag.
08:47And here's Raquel Rodriguez.
08:51Many believe she will be a world champion sooner rather than later.
08:55And you can bank on that one.
08:57Right now, the current tag team champion.
09:00What a clothesline.
09:04River!
09:06Now, she is just so much fun to watch.
09:08Fall away slam to Green.
09:10Raquel might have to win this one single-handedly.
09:13A lot taken out of Liv Morgan earlier in the matchup.
09:16That's straight forward, corkscrew elbow.
09:18Is it enough to retain?
09:19Sonya Deville's gotta break things up for her team.
09:22Just as that opportunity ago was slipping away,
09:25the savvy Sonya Deville capitalizing.
09:31And Raquel just cannot be stopped here tonight.
09:34Well, this is not gonna be good for Sonya.
09:42Gonna start thinking quickly, Deville.
09:45Raquel setting her up for a superplex.
09:47And now Morgan with a missile drop kick.
09:57All four ladies sprawled out.
10:01Tag championship hangs in the balance.
10:03A critical moment in this matchup.
10:07If you take another look at the explosiveness of Liv Morgan.
10:10She's taking a lot out of herself, but she's back up and ticking again now.
10:14Backstabber by Morgan.
10:16And a kick by Deville.
10:18Big kick by Rodriguez.
10:21Raquel sent over the top rope.
10:27And look at this, Liv Morgan pouring water all over Chelsea Green.
10:31A little taste of your own medicine.
10:33Raquel Rodriguez.
10:35Wait a minute.
10:36They retained.
10:39Here are your winners and
10:42still the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.
10:48Don't even start.
10:49Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
10:54Don't even start, Barrett.
10:55So this referee catches Chelsea and Sonya every time they cheat.
11:00But the second the champs cheat, he misses everything.
11:04Is this guy pulling my plonker?
11:06You cannot sit there and say that Deville and Green did not deserve this.
11:12One of the worst referee performances I've ever seen.
11:15In fact, I've got a good mind to speak to management about this.
11:20My own personal Karen, sitting next to me at ringside.
