00:00Over Las Vegas, never a true award said
00:19We've learned I didn't hear you really wait have some respect for our intercontinental champion
00:30Introducing the challengers
00:34First, she is the women's intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria
00:46To be clear Pat, I respect Lyra Valkyria in singles competition
00:50However, she's heading down to the ring now with whoever a partner may end up being
00:55It's going to be a hastily thrown together tag team against the tag champs
01:00Let me stop you there
01:02Lyra and Bayley were a hastily thrown together tag team
01:06And they went on to win a gauntlet match to qualify for this tonight
01:09You got me there
01:10Lightning did in the strike a couple of weeks ago when that team ran the gauntlet
01:16Lightning doesn't strike twice
01:18Enjoy it while it lasted Lyra
01:20You'll be back to singles competition before you know it
01:24Lyra is a prodigy
01:25I think you put anybody with it
01:26They have a great chance to win anything
01:28So who will it be?
01:29My girl, who did you get?
01:31Who did you get?
01:33Who did you get?
01:35Who did you get?
01:37How do you feel now, Wade?
01:53And her tag team partner, from Dublin, Ireland,
02:06Bendy Lynch!
02:10I got goosebumps!
02:13The man has come back around to Las Vegas, Nevada.
02:18And Liv Morgan has got to be beside herself.
02:21The last time we saw Becky Lynch was almost a year ago,
02:26when Liv Morgan beat her inside a steel cage.
02:31Liv Morgan's been telling the world for the last year
02:34that she retired Becky Lynch.
02:3860,000-plus jaws just hit the ground
02:42because the man is back.
02:46Live of Valkyria with her fellow countrywoman, Becky Lynch, to team tonight.
02:55And Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
02:57Oh, a little scared.
02:58They're going to have the game plan pretty quick.
03:01What happened, ladies?
03:03What happened, ladies?
03:04Will stop mouthing off at the Tag Team Champions
03:07because technically, this is highly unfair.
03:09They've had no time to prepare for this opponent.
03:12And technically, in my opinion, this match should be struck off the card.
03:16Becky Lynch just asked the Judgment Day.
03:28The Judgment Day can hear this crowd 100% on Becky Lynch's side.
03:35Liv, are you scared?
03:36And I'll tell you a little nervous.
03:39Are you scared?
03:41Are you scared?
03:44Uh-oh, you're scared.
03:45You're scared.
03:47You're scared.
03:48A couple of biased commentators to my left right here.
03:51Behave yourselves and act like professionals.
03:54Allow these athletes to get into game mode.
03:56I simply asked her a question, Wade.
03:59You're not biased about that.
04:00You asked her six times in a row, and it wasn't asking.
04:02It was taunting.
04:03So this is interesting.
04:04Live of Valkyria, Becky Lynch.
04:06Have become great friends over the last couple of years.
04:09Lyra Valkyria really, she got herself on the map
04:14when she knocked off Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship.
04:19Well, the reason Lyra Valkyria got into the industry in the first place
04:23is because of her admiration for Becky Lynch,
04:27a fellow Dubliner who has become over time something of a mentor.
04:33Allow me to bring everyone back down to work.
04:36After all the excitement of the past couple of minutes,
04:38Becky Lynch is not competing in the last 12 months.
04:41How rusty is she going to be in this hastily thrown-together tag team?
04:45There he is, Mr. Buzzkill, Wade Barrett.
04:47Mr. Realist.
04:48Liv Morgan looks to start things off against Becky Lynch.
04:51Again, I mentioned the history between these two.
04:54Liv took the title from Becky Lynch back in May of last year,
04:56thanks to Dirty Dom.
04:57And now the tag will be made to the powerhouse, Raquel Rodriguez.
05:01And Becky with a right hand.
05:12Becky Lynch has been a tremendous performer at WrestleMania.
05:16Remember, she was one of three women to become the first woman in history to main event
05:22WrestleMania back at WrestleMania 35.
05:25And now Becky is quickly trying to choke out Raquel Rodriguez to start this matchup.
05:29A lot of people have talked about everything that Becky's been doing since her last match.
05:33Tag.
05:34How about training and getting better?
05:36And here's Lyra Valkyria, the Intercontinental Champion, who is now legal.
05:41Two Irish ladies beating up Raquel Rodriguez right now.
05:44Lyra beat Raquel with the title on the line a few weeks ago.
05:48Lyra's been a great champion as she delivers the step up in the Zagiri.
05:52Just in a cartwheel off of Raquel.
05:54Nice deep arm drag.
05:55And this is the WrestleMania debut of Lyra Valkyria.
06:00What a nice entrance into the match that was.
06:02No signs of nerves whatsoever for this youngster.
06:07Lyra now with a big kick.
06:09Rock beat Raquel Rodriguez.
06:11Just having Becky Lynch by his side must be a massive confidence boost
06:15after that initial loss of Bayley.
06:18I'll tell you, Wade, after watching Lyra since her debut at Monday Night Raw,
06:22she has the confidence through and through.
06:24Valkyria has to kick Morgan on the apron.
06:29Lyra's unbelievable.
06:30Oh, yes.
06:33Raquel coming.
06:35Ali oop to the boot.
06:37And this referee, Jason Ayer, is a little too slow on that count for my liking,
06:42allowing himself to be distracted by Becky Lynch.
06:45And that cost Raquel and Liv.
06:47That was great tag team wrestling there by Becky Lynch.
06:50Distracting the left so he couldn't get the three count.
06:52But Liv Morgan tossing Lyra right into the boot.
06:56And here comes the tag to Morgan.
06:59Liv, of course, a two-time women's champion, proud jewel champion as well.
07:04Three times a tag champ and a Money in the Bank winner.
07:07And here comes Raquel Rodriguez.
07:09We mentioned the three tag team title runners with Morgan.
07:12She also held a tag team title with Aaliyah.
07:16And that makes her a four-time tag team champ.
07:19An absolute tag specialist no matter who the partner is.
07:23But I'll tell you this right now.
07:242025 has been the Liv Morgan World Domination Tour in large part because of that presence of the powerhouse Rodriguez.
07:34Raquel Rodriguez will do anything for Liv Morgan.
07:36Tag team champions now have isolated and beginning to dominate the intercontinental champion.
07:45This is what happens when a real tag team in Liv and Raquel goes up against a hastily thrown together tag team
07:52with no chemistry, no cohesion, just a little bit of friendship.
07:57Much like Dominic did earlier, Liv this time actually connected with the three amigos.
08:02It could be a glorious evening in the Judgment Day clubhouse.
08:07And now Becky Lynch completely losing the plot.
08:10And our tag team champs are taking advantage.
08:13Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan got Lyra isolated.
08:17The rush of blood to the head to Becky Lynch who has been out of action for a significant amount of time.
08:23And is now getting frustrated as the minutes go on.
08:27Power of Rodriguez.
08:28Cover to retain.
08:30Kick out by Lyra.
08:31Well feathers exploding all over the ring on that impact there.
08:35And Lyra Valkyria is in big trouble.
08:38It's a duck hunt out here.
08:40Birds everywhere.
08:41Big boot from Liv Morgan.
08:44Raquel's got the power.
08:46Liv's got the ruthlessness.
08:48That's why they're three-time tag team champs.
08:50Lyra Valkyria needs the durability here.
08:53She has to try and ride out this storm and try, try, try to get over to the fresh Becky Lynch.
09:00This is classic tag team wrestling here.
09:02Isolating the opponent's ring with tags in and out.
09:05That's exactly why they have consistently won tag gold.
09:09Held on to tag gold.
09:11But that maneuverability of Valkyria may be the opportunity.
09:13There was no tag there to Liv Morgan, risking a disqualify.
09:19Get right to the ear by Valkyria.
09:23Lyra needs a tag bad.
09:28What timing there from Liv Morgan.
09:31It's an absolute menace out here, Liv Morgan is.
09:34She just made Becky angry is all she did.
09:36And Becky Lynch now in pursuit of Morgan.
09:40Liv runs her right into.
09:42Raquel with a boot to Becky.
09:46Classic cat and mouse right there.
09:48The officials lost complete control of this.
09:51Now looking to settle things down again.
09:53The officials lost control, but more importantly than that, Valkyria has lost all control.
09:59There's a big slam by Rodriguez.
10:00To retain yet again, and Lyra kicks that.
10:05Liv Morgan grabbed the titles, thought it was over.
10:08How could you not?
10:08What a commanding performance it has been from Raquel Rodriguez.
10:13It's hard to step out the spotlight or into the spotlight when you're next to Liv Morgan.
10:18But Raquel Rodriguez, this is a major coming out party.
10:22Lyra, great move.
10:24Hanging out of the ropes.
10:25Trying to battle back now.
10:27Elbow by Valkyria.
10:28But a great Intercontinental Champion.
10:30Oh, posted.
10:31Shoulder first for Raquel.
10:33Tag made.
10:34Here comes the man.
10:40And Becky gets some revenge here on Liv Morgan.
10:45It's been almost a year.
10:46Lynch has been waiting for this.
10:50Absolutely.
10:51The WWE Universe has been waiting as well.
10:55Step up into Gary Carter on the shoulder.
10:58I think that's a clean, but adds another right to the face.
11:02And one to the other side.
11:04To Liv Morgan.
11:04Becky looks in tremendous shape, Wade.
11:07Yeah, no signs of ring rust whatsoever.
11:09Unmatched finesse from the man.
11:12Becky Lynch going skyward.
11:14And Becky down goes Rodriguez.
11:17Rolls through her.
11:18Liv Morgan.
11:22The Beck splatter.
11:23What a night it was for hubby Seth freakin' Rollins last night.
11:28Well, depends how you look at it.
11:31Got victory in the main event, Cole.
11:33And Becky.
11:35Baseball slide takes Morgan out.
11:37Becky Lynch is in midseason form.
11:39Potentially acquiring gold imminently.
11:43Becky down.
11:44Takes out Morgan.
11:46Big right on the outside.
11:48Liv Morgan.
11:48Back into the ring.
11:50Getting ragdolled around.
11:51By the man.
11:54Liv Morgan just scrambling.
11:55And everything she's trying is doing.
11:57And now into the disarmor.
11:59Looking for the disarmor now.
12:01Morgan though able to turn it around.
12:03Didn't quite get it.
12:04Now she's going to get the disarmor.
12:06Arm bar to the disarmor.
12:08Becky's got it locked in.
12:09Becky's got it locked in.
12:11Is Morgan going to tap out to the disarmor?
12:14And a boot right to the face.
12:16Well, answering the prayers of Liv Morgan.
12:19Raquel Rodriguez saving the gold for her team.
12:23Not only that, get him back in full control.
12:25Raquel.
12:27Got out of control.
12:28Sent over the top rope.
12:29Morgan looking to capitalize.
12:31Smart by Lynch there.
12:32Using the momentum.
12:33Let me in.
12:35Good night, Becky.
12:36Cover by Morgan.
12:38Now Peria breaks it up.
12:40Just enough left in the tank of the Intercontinental champs to keep this one alive.
12:45I have no idea where Lyra came from.
12:48Perfect timing for her and Becky Lynch.
12:51Able to hang on.
12:52Delivered a kick.
12:55Went for oblivion again.
12:56Lyra Valkyria.
12:57Caught by Rodriguez.
13:00Oh, Raquel take it out with an EDT.
13:03Tornado DDT on the outside.
13:05Morgan drops Lyra Valkyria.
13:08Becky back on her feet.
13:10She's got Morgan.
13:11There it is.
13:12The man handle slam.
13:15Becky and Ryman win the gold.
13:19Here are your winners in the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
13:30The Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria and Becky.
