00:00Ladies and gentlemen, in a matchup that is brought to you by Papas John, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defend the women's tag team titles against Lyra Valkyria and hopefully she's found a partner. Bayley was attacked yesterday. We'll find out who Lyra's partner will be right now.
00:30Watch me.
00:51The following process scheduled for one call is for the WWE Women's Tag.
01:00The Women's Tag Team Championship.
01:05Introducing first, they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:16Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
01:23Well, Liv Morgan's got to be happy.
01:25Her boyfriend, Dominic Mysterio, won the Intercontinental Championship earlier on tonight.
01:29Right now, Liv defends the tag team titles.
01:32I don't know if you guys saw the countdown show earlier today.
01:34Countly Kelly in a very interesting interview with these two.
01:38Liv got very defensive when Countly started bringing up the attack on Bayley yesterday.
01:44Liv said we had nothing to do with it, but nobody was accusing them of anything.
01:48Well, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have some prior history with false accusations being thrown their way after the whole Jay Cargill attack.
01:58So I'm sure there's an element of PTSD floating around their minds at the moment.
02:02Yeah, certainly probably get a little defensive if people think that they're doing things they're not doing.
02:06And what they are doing is championship title reigns more than anybody else in the history.
02:11Yeah, three-time tag champs.
02:13That's the record.
02:13They call themselves the greatest women's tag team of all time, and they're stats that back that up.
02:19This match is brought to you by Papa John's.
02:21Order pizza and more for delivery tonight.
02:23I wonder if they could deliver a pizza to ringside right now.
02:27We could share that with the beer we had with George Kittle a few moments ago.
02:30I didn't get any of that beer, and I'm actually furious.
02:32I used to like George Kittle.
02:34He is on the bottom of my tight end list now.
02:36That's because you're anti-social.
02:37You should have joined us.
02:39The Judgment Day World Tag Team Champs are taking in the serenade of the love of Las Vegas.
02:47Never a true word said, Pat.
02:49You've got me back.
02:53We've learned.
03:06I didn't hear you wooing, Clay.
03:08Have some respect for our Intercontinental Champion.
03:16Introducing the challengers.
03:19First, she is the women's Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria.
03:32To be clear, Pat, I respect Lyra Valkyria in singles competition.
03:36However, she's heading down to the ring now with whoever a partner may end up being.
03:41It's going to be a hastily thrown together tag team against the tag champs.
03:46Let me stop you there.
03:48Lyra and Bayley were a hastily thrown together tag team, and they went on to win a gauntlet match to qualify for this tonight.
03:55You got me there.
03:56Lightning did in the strike a couple of weeks ago when that team ran the gauntlet.
04:02Lightning doesn't strike twice.
04:04Enjoy it while it lasted, Lyra.
04:06You'll be back to singles competition before you know it.
04:09Lyra is a prodigy.
04:10I think you put anybody with it, they have a great chance to win anything.
04:14So, who will it be?
04:16My girl, who did you get?
04:18Who did you get?
04:20Here's the winner.
04:20Here's the winner.
04:23How do you feel now, Wade?
04:38And her tag team partner, from Dublin, Ireland, Becky Lynch!
04:56I got goosebumps!
04:59The man has come back around to Las Vegas, Nevada.
05:03And Liv Morgan has got to be beside herself.
05:08The last time we saw Becky Lynch was almost a year ago, when Liv Morgan beat her inside a steel cage.
05:17Liv Morgan's been telling the world for the last year that she retired Becky Lynch!
05:2260,000 plus jaws just hit the ground, because the man is back!
05:34Live of Valkyria with her fellow countrywoman, Becky Lynch, the team tonight.
05:40And Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
05:43Oh, a little scared!
05:44They're going to have the game plan pretty quick!
05:46What happened, ladies?
05:48What happened, ladies?
05:50We'll stop mouthing off at the tag team champions, because technically, this is highly unfair.
05:55They've had no time to prepare for this opponent, and technically, in my opinion, this match should be struck off the card.
06:02Becky Lynch just asked the Judgment Day, if the Judgment Day can hear this crowd 100% on Becky Lynch's side!
06:21Liv, are you scared?
06:23Raquel, you're a little nervous!
06:25Are you scared?
06:27Are you scared?
06:29Uh-oh!
06:30You're scared!
06:31You're scared!
06:32You're scared!
06:33You're scared!
06:34Double of bias, commentators to my left right here, behave yourselves, and act like professionals, allow these athletes to get into game mode.
06:41You're scared!
06:42I simply asked her a question, Wade.
06:44Nothing biased about that.
06:45You asked her 60 times in a row, and it wasn't asking, it was taunting.
06:48So this is interesting.
06:49Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch have become great friends over the last couple of years.
06:54Lyra Valkyria really, she got herself on the map when she knocked off Becky Lynch for the NX season.
07:01Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship.
07:04Well the reason Lyra Valkyria got into the industry in the first place is because of her admiration for Becky Lynch, the fellow Dubliner who has become over time something of a mentor.
07:18So allow me to bring everyone back down to earth after all the excitement of the past couple of minutes.
07:24Becky Lynch has not competed in the last 12 months.
07:27How rusty is she going to be in this hastily thrown together tag team?
07:31There he is, Mr. Buzzkill, Wade Barrett.
07:33Mr. Realist.
07:34Liv Morgan looks to start things off against Becky Lynch.
07:37Again, I mentioned the history between these two.
07:39Liv took the title from Becky Lynch back in May of last year, thanks to Dirty Dom.
07:43And now the tag will be made to the powerhouse, Raquel Rodriguez.
07:48Get her!
07:49Get her!
07:50Get her!
07:51Get her!
07:52Get her!
07:53Get her!
07:56And Becky with a right hand.
07:58Becky Lynch has been a tremendous performer at WrestleMania.
08:02Remember, she was one of the three women to become the first woman in history to main event WrestleMania back at WrestleMania 35.
08:10Wait a minute!
08:11And now Becky is quickly trying to choke out Raquel Rodriguez to start this matchup.
08:15A lot of people have talked about everything that Becky's been doing since her last match.
08:19Tag!
08:20How about training and getting better?
08:22And here's Lyra Valkyria, the Intercontinental Champion, who is now legal.
08:26Two Irish ladies beating up Raquel Rodriguez right now.
08:30Lyra beat Raquel with the title on the line a few weeks to go.
08:34Lyra's been a great champion as she delivers the step up to Zagiri.
08:38Just in a cartwheel off of Raquel.
08:40Nice deep arm drag.
08:41And this is the WrestleMania debut of Lyra Valkyria.
08:46What a nice entrance into the match that was.
08:48No signs of nerves whatsoever for this youngster.
08:53Lyra now with a kick, Rocky.
08:55I mean, Raquel Rodriguez.
08:56Just having Becky Lynch by your side must be a massive confidence boost after that initial loss of Bayley.
09:03I'll tell you, Wade, after watching Lyra since her debut at Monday Night Raw,
09:07she has the confidence through and through.
09:10Valkyria has to kick Morgan on the apron.
09:15I was unbelievable.
09:17Oh!
09:18Yes!
09:19Raquel coming.
09:20Alley-oop to the boot!
09:23And this referee, Jason Ayers, a little too slow on that count for my liking.
09:28Allowing himself to be distracted by Becky Lynch.
09:31And that cost Raquel and Liv.
09:33That was great tag team wrestling there by Becky Lynch.
09:35Distracting the left so he couldn't get the three count.
09:38But Liv Morgan tossing Lyra right into the boot.
09:42And here comes the tag to Morgan.
09:45Liv, of course, a two-time women's champion.
09:48Proud jewel champion as well.
09:50Three times a tag champ and a Money in the Bank winner.
09:53And here comes Raquel Rodriguez.
09:55We mentioned the three tag team title runners with Morgan.
09:57She also held a tag team title with Aaliyah.
10:02And that makes her a four-time tag team champ.
10:05An absolute tag specialist no matter who the partner is.
10:08But I'll tell you this right now.
10:102025 has been the Liv Morgan World Domination Tour in large part
10:16because of that presence of the powerhouse Rodriguez.
10:19Well, Raquel Rodriguez will do anything for Liv Morgan.
10:24Tag team champions now have isolated and beginning to dominate the Intercontinental Champion.
10:31This is what happens when a real tag team in Liv and Raquel
10:34goes up against a hastily thrown together tag team
10:38with no chemistry, no cohesion, just a little bit of friendship.
10:43Much like Dominic did earlier, Liv this time actually connected with the three amigos.
10:48Could be a glorious evening in the Judgment Day clubhouse.
10:52And now Becky Lynch completely losing the plot.
10:55And our tag team champs are taking advantage.
10:58Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan got Lyra isolated.
11:02The rush of blood to the head to Becky Lynch
11:06who has been out of action for a significant amount of time.
11:09And is now getting frustrated as the minutes go off.
11:12Power of Rodriguez. Cover to retain. Kick out by Lyra.
11:16Feathers exploding all over the ring on that impact there.
11:21And Lyra Valkyria is in big trouble.
11:23It's a duck hunt out here. Birds everywhere.
11:26Big boot from Liv Morgan.
11:29Raquel's got the power. Liv's got the ruthlessness.
11:33That's why they're three time tag team champ.
11:36Lyra Valkyria needs the durability here.
11:39She has to try and ride out this storm and try, try, try to get over to the fresh Becky Lynch.
11:45This is classic tag team wrestling here.
11:48Isolating the opponent's ring with tags in and out.
11:51That's exactly why they have consistently won tag gold.
11:55Held on to tag gold.
11:56But that maneuverability of Valkyria may be the opportunity.
12:00There was no tag there.
12:02To Liv Morgan risking a disqualification.
12:05Oh!
12:06Get right to the ear by Valkyria.
12:08Lyra needs a tag bad.
12:14What time in there from Liv Morgan.
12:17Just an absolute menace out here Liv Morgan is.
12:20She just made Becky angry is all she did.
12:22And Becky Lynch now in pursuit of Morgan.
12:24Liv runs her right into.
12:28Raquel with a boot to Becky.
12:30Classic cat and mouse right there.
12:33Well the officials lost complete control of this.
12:37Now looking to settle things down again.
12:39The officials lost control but more importantly than that.
12:42Valkyria has lost all control.
12:44There's a big slam by Rodriguez.
12:46To retain yet again and Lyra kicks that.
12:51Liv Morgan grabbed the titles thought it was over.
12:53How could you not?
12:54What a commanding performance it has been from Raquel Rodriguez.
12:58It's hard to step out the spotlight.
13:01Or into the spotlight when you're next to Liv Morgan.
13:04But Raquel Rodriguez.
13:05This is a major coming out party.
13:07Lyra.
13:08Great move.
13:09Hanging out of the ropes.
13:10Trying to battle back now.
13:12Elbow by Valkyria.
13:13But a great Intercontinental Champion.
13:15Oh!
13:16Posted.
13:17Shoulder first for Raquel.
13:19Tag made.
13:20Here comes the man.
13:22And Becky gets some revenge here on Liv Morgan.
13:31Been almost a year.
13:32Lynch has been waiting for this.
13:37Absolutely.
13:38The WWE Universe has been waiting as well.
13:41Step up into Gary Carter on the shoulder.
13:43I think that's a clean.
13:44But adds another right to the face.
13:47And one to the other side.
13:49To Liv Morgan.
13:50Becky looks in tremendous shape Wade.
13:52Yeah.
13:53No signs of ring rust whatsoever.
13:55Unmatched.
13:56Finesse.
13:57From the man Becky.
13:58Lynch going skyward.
14:00And Becky down goes Rodriguez.
14:02Rolls through her.
14:03Liv Morgan.
14:04The back splatter.
14:05What a night it was for hubby Seth freakin' Rollins last night.
14:14Well depends how you look at it.
14:16Got victory in the main event Cole.
14:18How would you put it?
14:19And Becky.
14:20Baseball slide takes Morgan out.
14:23Becky Lynch is in mid-season form.
14:25Potentially acquiring gold imminently.
14:28Becky down.
14:30Takes out Morgan.
14:31Big right on the outside.
14:33Liv Morgan.
14:34Back into the ring.
14:35Getting ragdolled around.
14:37By the man.
14:39Liv Morgan just scrambling.
14:41And everything she's trying is doing.
14:43And now into the disarmer.
14:44Looking for the disarmer now.
14:46Morgan though able to turn it around.
14:48Didn't quite get it.
14:49Now she's gonna get the disarmer.
14:51Armar to the disarmer.
14:53Becky's got it locked in.
14:55Becky's got it locked in.
14:56Is Morgan gonna top out.
14:58Tilted to disarmer.
14:59And a boot right to the face.
15:01Answering the prayers of Liv Morgan.
15:04Raquel Rodriguez saving the gold for her team.
15:08Not only that get him back in full control.
15:11Raquel.
15:12Get out of control.
15:13It's been over the top rope.
15:14Morgan looking to capitalize.
15:16Smart by Lynch there.
15:17Using the momentum.
15:18Look at the rope.
15:19Let me end.
15:20Good night Becky.
15:22Cover by Morgan.
15:23Now Peria breaks it up.
15:25Just enough left in the tank of the Intercontinental champs.
15:29Keep this one alive.
15:30I have no idea where Lyra came from.
15:33Perfect timing for her and Becky.
15:36Becky Lynch.
15:37Able to hang on.
15:38Delivered a kick.
15:40Going for oblivion again.
15:41Lyra Valkyria.
15:42Caught by Rodriguez.
15:44Oh Raquel take it out.
15:45With a DDT.
15:46Tornado DDT on the outside.
15:47Morgan.
15:48Drops Lyra Valkyria.
15:49Becky back on her feet.
15:50She's got Morgan.
15:51There it is.
15:52The man handle slam.
15:53Becky and Lyra with the gold.

16:39Lyra Two Belts.
16:41Here tonight.
16:42At WrestleMania.
16:43Well this industry changes in the blink of an eye.
16:46What oblivion there.
16:47Should have been a successful defense for Levin.
16:51Raquel but Lyra Valkyria had other ideas.
16:54Oh my God.
16:55Tornado DDT on the outside to Raquel Rodriguez.
17:00And then Becky with her patented man handle slam.
