00:55Summer slam Bailey beat her best friend Naomi to qualify for this matchup
01:01tonight
01:02Corey, what does Bailey need to do to knock off Nia in this matchup? Bailey needs to tap into her mean streak
01:08We know Bailey has one. We haven't seen it lately
01:11But in the past think back to the damage control days Bailey could get downright ruthless when she needed to be
01:17She's already got the speed advantage perhaps an experience advantage Bailey knows how to thrive in high-stakes situations
01:24but Nia Jax ain't going down without a fight a
01:30Bad blood is powered in part by c4 energy the official energy drink of
01:35WWE get head start an Amazon Prime big deal days grab early deals at c4 energy October 6 through the night

02:25Nia Jax the current WWE Women's Champion
02:33Again she beat Bailey at SummerSlam
02:37And tonight looks in this rivalry once and for all
02:41To do that whole Nia Jax simply needs to stick with what brought her to the dance
02:45Nia's in the best physical shape of her career her confidence as at an all-time high now if Nia can tune out
02:53Tiffany Stratton who she's been worried about for seemingly months now Nia needs to focus on the task at hand who is Bailey

03:32The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for
03:46Introducing the challenger from San Jose, California
03:53Bailey
04:03And her opponent from San Diego, California
04:24Bailey the challenger Nia Jax the champion
04:28WWE bad blood live tonight in Atlanta nearly
04:3417,000 people at the State Farm Arena the official in this matchup
04:39Jessica caught again. Why is Nia Jax better than ever at this point in her career Corey because Nia Jax
04:46And I spoke at length
04:48When she returned to WWE the time away from WWE truly transformed Nia Jax on a human level
04:55She realized she needs to put in the work. Things aren't gonna come easy to you. Certainly not success in WWE and she starts out
05:03Flashing her in the corner Nia Jax came out hot and she's dominating Bailey now
05:10Having her way and this is a risky proposition for Nia. It's smart. I understand it
05:15God at the challenger in the early moment look to end this one quickly
05:20However, we've seen Bailey's not afraid of the deep water Bailey can drag this one out and try to exhaust Nia Jax
05:26Yeah, Bailey is resilient. They come she runs into a clothesline
05:31Covered out by Jack and Bailey able to kick out
05:35What we just saw may come back to bite Nia. Nia took Bailey out with this clothesline
05:40This is one of the most thunderous clothesline Nia has ever delivered
05:44But she was arrogant on the pinfall attempt
05:46You can't get arrogant when someone is talented and experienced as Bailey. Arm had slipped under the chin into a choke and now Nia Jax
05:53continues to have her way with Bailey in the early going of this matchup and again a
05:57Splash in the corner and Bailey just collapses to the mat
06:02You have to scrape Bailey off the mat after this one
06:06And
06:08Now Jack sending Bailey across the way
06:13Just bulldozing through the challenger and this has been a dominant first few minutes for the champion
06:21This is a message Cole. This is a message from Queen Nia Jax to the entire roster
06:27Bailey
06:30Bailey trying to fight back, but Nia now into a bear hug
06:34Trying to suck the breath and the life out of Bailey and Nia taking a few steps backward making sure she is in the dead
06:41Center of the ring Bailey is gonna have to fight her way out of this bear hug and Bailey now
06:45Slips underneath looking for a sunset flip now shoulders down for Nia able to kick out at two and now Nia quickly. Wow, I
06:53Like this, yeah Nia very
06:56Seldom see her go for a submission. Listen, if you want you have to evolve as a superstar in WWE particularly as a champion
07:02Nia adding new wrinkles to her repertoire is gonna serve her very well almost lion tamer like here for Nia Jax on Bailey
07:10Bailey trying to drag herself to the bottom rope and force the break and and again
07:15Not anyone can just slap on a submission to great effect. It takes time to master submissions
07:19It's an art form and I am clearly putting the work
07:23And again Cory the the advantages Nia Jax because Bailey has to fit or submit the champ
07:30Count-outs disqualifications don't help Bailey at all
07:36This has been a Mets like thrashing by Nia Jax early on in this match against Bailey
07:41I should have put money on how long they take you to mention
07:44Cuz Jack looks to crank Bailey's head clean off her shoulders in this modified camel clutch submission and now Bailey trying to fight back to
07:52Her feet here Nia Jax in control. Well, we talked about this earlier very resilient
07:57Bailey
07:59Multi-time champion Bailey up off to the apron slides underneath Nia Jax now looking to use her quickness here against Nia
08:06And that's Nia through the second half of the pool and I imagine that's what Bailey wanted to do off of the opening bell
08:11Utilize her quickness be evasive, but Bailey has it
08:15Drop to the back of the neck
08:18And now the champion in retreat here comes Bailey and Nia wisely moved out of harm's way
08:23I think Bailey was going for the suicide dive and Nia able to move it in the corner
08:27Bailey though with a baseball slide driving Nia Jax the floor and now pounding away is Bailey that comes with experience
08:35Bailey realizing the situation changed mid-maneuver. She called an audible and still delivered a drop kick for the champion
08:42Now Nia sent into the ring Bailey follows it up
08:46And Bailey cover now in the champ hook to the leg
08:49I have forced to kick out Bailey who is the was the
08:53Still holds the record is the longest reigning
08:55Smackdown women's champion of all time
08:58380 days so she knows how to swim with the sharks when she needs to
09:06Oh and hanging Nia up on the second rope
09:09The champion now in trouble
09:11the challenger
09:14Taking Nia down. I actually think Bailey might have gotten the worst of that exchange run into a brick wall
09:25Now Bailey trying to muscle Nia Jax back inside of the ring to your point earlier Bailey realizing champions advantage in a battle
09:32Pinfall or submission only if Bailey wants to become champion
09:39And
09:41This is the pace that benefits Nia Jax slow methodical deliberate up into it
09:48Here don't be Bailey onto the top turnbuckle
09:54Oh and followed it up with a splash
09:59Bailey has taken a
10:01Punishment to this point and this is the pace that Nia likes and now she's got Bailey in position
10:07Perhaps for the Annihilator her finishing move has taken out so and Bailey though knows it's coming
10:12Quickly back to her feet and out Bailey pounded away a Nia
10:16Desperately trying to chop at the knees the hamstrings of the champion trying to soften up Nia Jax
10:27We've seen this before call if you pull it off again, she did this at SummerSlam
10:32I
10:47Would love to see a replay of that I believe you're right
10:50Oh, I think Bailey took just a little too long before driving Nia down Nia was able to shift her weight and propel Bailey forward
10:59Let's take a look at here. It is again
11:02She tried a hurricanrana and whatever it was it was effective if you noticed Nia had her feet hooked on the inside of Bailey's stomach
11:10Using those as anchor points before shifting her weight propelling the challenger brilliantly done by Nia Jax and then delivered the belly-to-belly
11:19It's not about style points all the time about how effective a move is I mean
11:23It's just about dominating your opponent, which is Nia's doing right now
11:26Nia
11:30Bailey just ripped down to the mat. You have to wonder is the champion getting frustrated at this point
11:36Well, maybe because Bailey just moved out of the way
11:39Nia cannot afford to get sloppy not against somebody as dangerous and talented and skilled as Bailey and Bailey
11:45I don't know what he did to the champion. Bailey's starting to get confident now. He's starting to feel it
11:49She believes he's in the driver's seat
11:52I
11:55Had trying to make it back to her feet here comes Bailey over the top
12:00Didn't get all of it, but Nia fell right on top of Bailey Bailey could be hurt I
12:05Think you're right. That was that was instinctive Bailey realizing me. Hey Nia's in position for a move
12:10I used very well and what's concerning is Bailey grabbed
12:13Well, she grabbed her leg and remember the the history of knee injuries for Bailey cost her at least a year of her career
12:18And you got to be concerned with that, but Bailey now showing no ill effects of what happened in the corner
12:23The adrenaline is clearly kicked in now pulsing through the challengers veins
12:28Again, Bailey knows what it means to thrive in high-pressure situation the challenger from the top row Bailey up top
12:36With the big elbow
12:42Literally kicks out tossing Billy out of the ring kicked out with extreme
12:47Authority that is the type of power possessed by the WWE Women's Champion as we take another look at the challenger Bailey
12:54With her homage to the macho man the flying elbow right on the money
12:59But Jack's just too strong at this point one of the things that I find interesting in this match is
13:06Naya and Bailey going outside their comfort zone
13:10Shoulder first into the steps
13:13Madina and again collide. I know you threw attention to it moments ago, but Bailey again is clutching it
13:18I believe her right ankle her shin area
13:20I'm not entirely sure what it is that's bothering her
13:22But it could be a factor as this match progress how she hit hard off that sunset cliff powerbomb and then Nia
13:27Landed on top of her and now Bailey
13:30Elbow to the spine driving night. Now. Here's the situation
13:33Nya down Bailey's got a move nigh into the ring in order to win the title
13:40Jessica cars town at six right now
13:44While she's continuing the count Bailey broke it for herself
13:49And now Bailey realizes she's got to go back outside the ring so the recount can reset and this is where Bailey's thinking of
13:55the big picture
13:58She would have gotten the winners purse for tonight
14:00But she wouldn't have become WWE women's champion
14:02Which is the ultimate goal for all the women on the roster here sledgehammer like blow to the gut by Nia Jax
14:17Power bombing Bailey out of the steel steps not once
14:23Slinging her into the barricade blatant disregard for the well-being of the role model
14:29Becoming the mo of Nia Jax
14:39And Bailey looks like this one's just about over coal
14:46I don't know if I agree with this
14:48decision by the champion
14:50Here's the Queen. Here's the WWE champion and she's dominating right now, but she is in there
