00:00Kater Rhea Ripley is here.
00:02She's about to teach someone a lesson
00:04off of last week's chaotic situation with Eosky and some NXT superstars.
00:19It's Xfinity live and loud in here.
00:30I need Xfinity.
00:42The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:46Introducing parts from Adelaide, South Australia,
00:52Rhea Ripley!
00:58Pat, I had a chance to talk with Rhea earlier today
01:02and she said it's time to teach some lessons
01:06to one Roxanne Perez tonight.
01:12It's an ass kicker from Australia.
01:14Rhea's in action live against Roxanne Perez on Raw.
01:28And we are back here live in Kansas City over 11,000
01:32for this very intriguing matchup between Rhea Ripley on the right, Roxanne Perez
01:36from NXT on the left.
01:38These two have had one one-on-one match in their career.
01:40It happened back in 2022.
01:42Pick your poison match at NXT.
01:44Rhea Ripley would come out on top.
01:46But this is a very different Roxanne Perez that we've seen in the past.
01:52Roxanne is known as the prodigy for good reason.
01:56A lot of confidence.
01:58Once again for good reason.
02:00Backs it up.
02:02Phenomenal in-ring performer.
02:04Spent a lot of time on Monday Night Raw this year, Pat,
02:06despite the fact that she's part of NXT.
02:08In fact, she's 2-0 in matches here on Raw.
02:12Rhea Ripley also an NXT icon like myself.
02:16Oh, goodness.
02:18Love NXT around here producing greatness
02:20as we're seeing some head games come from Roxanne Perez.
02:23Yeah, I'm not quite sure you want to be playing mind games with Rhea,
02:26but that paid off for Roxanne.
02:28Great move. Chop block to the back of the knee.
02:30I love what Roxanne has decided to do here.
02:32The prodigy.
02:34Roxanne Perez now attacking Rhea Ripley.
02:37You take the leg out.
02:39You take the knee out, Pat.
02:40You take away Rhea's power.
02:41I want to say a little mental thing before we even get started.
02:44And then smack Rhea Ripley in the mouth.
02:46And this is that change in attitude that Roxanne Perez has gone through
02:51over the past couple of years.
02:52It's been wonderful seeing the maturation process of this young woman,
02:56whether you agree with her or not,
02:57as she runs into a hoop by Ripley.
02:59Well, just like Rhea Ripley told us WrestleMania week,
03:02as long as you're your true self, you're going to be your best form.
03:05Rhea Ripley has done that.
03:07Roxanne thinks the same.
03:08Yeah, looking for Razor's Edge.
03:09Roxanne able to hang on to the top ropes.
03:11Perez looking to use her speed in this matchup.
03:14Rhea Ripley using her power.
03:16Ooh.
03:17Good roll through.
03:18Roxanne now.
03:19Oh, yeah.
03:20Oh, yeah.
03:21Again, continues to work on the left leg of Rhea Ripley.
03:25So it's working hamstring down whenever it was an arm jump.
03:30Roxanne Perez grew up in Laredo, Texas,
03:33trained by the great WWE Hall of Famer and voice of NXT, Booker T.
03:39We've been learning about Rosette.
03:41Roxanne through Booker T for a long time.
03:44Obviously, he has a lot of pride.
03:45And Perez with a suicide dive caught, though, by Rhea Ripley.
03:48And there's the power of the eradicator.
03:51It sends Perez into the barricade.
03:55That's the X Factor for Rhea Ripley in every single match.
04:00At any given moment, she can catch you out of the sky and throw you off the barricade.
04:04She's always been like this.
04:06Ripley now.
04:07Dropping a...
04:08Oh, Roxanne!
04:09On the barricade and begins to take control of this matchup.
04:16Monday Night Raw tonight in Kansas City.
04:18Nick Aldis, the general manager one night only.
04:21Adam Pearce has the weekend off.
04:23Maybe we should have got Shaquille O'Neal to be our general manager.
04:26I just signed to be the general manager of Sacramento State's college team, I believe.
04:31Interesting.
04:32Roxanne is knocked off the apron by Ripley.
04:35He's a good businessman as these two are in an instant classic here on Monday Night Raw.
04:39Roxanne Perez holding her own and then some.
04:41And again continues to work on the left leg of Rhea.
04:43This has been tremendous strategy by Roxanne Perez in this match.
04:47Think about from the very beginning where she delayed the start, basically.
04:50And then now she's been attacking the knee and the hamstring.
04:52Saw this aggressiveness in the match against Stephanie Becker on NXT last Tuesday on the CW.
04:58And again, Rhea in deep, deep trouble.
05:01And Roxanne having her way with Ripley.
05:04She's just chomping down, Rhea Ripley here.
05:08Rhea though, caught.
05:10Went for the side-rushing leg sweep.
05:12Ripley able to block.
05:14And a close line takes out Perez.
05:18Rhea Ripley needed that as she checks on her knee.
05:22The three-time women's world champion.
05:25Trying to regain control of this matchup.
05:27And again, just really cannot balance on that left leg that's been assaulted by Perez in this match.
05:32Roxanne's been unbelievable here.
05:34Rhea Ripley not only a three-time champ, but also a main eventer in a stadium.
05:37Went for the crossbody.
05:38Rhea Ripley though, able to catch her.
05:40The power again of mommy.
05:41Netflix worldwide.
05:42What a suplex delivered!
05:44And a dropkick by Ripley.
05:46And Roxanne Perez rolling out of harm's way as Rhea Ripley looks to recover.
05:58What a match this has been.
05:59Rhea Ripley!
06:00Rhea Ripley!
06:01Rhea Ripley!
06:02Rhea Ripley!
06:06Roxanne Perez climbing the ropes.
06:08Moonsault to Ripley!
06:10Cover now!
06:11Oh!
06:12And a kick out at two by Roxanne Perez.
06:15Everything Roxanne's doing is working right now.
06:18She's got Rhea reeling.
06:20This has been an incredible strategy by Perez.
06:25Attacking her knees, attacking her lower body, trying to get her strength out of the match.
06:30Yeah, trying to get Rhea to submit.
06:34Well again, we'll take it to see what happened moments ago when we...
06:38Roxanne Perez, this is awesome.
06:40It's a springboard moonsault by Perez.
06:42Been so impressive in this match tonight.
06:44We talked a little bit ago about the maturation process of this young woman.
06:49She's taken Rhea Ripley to the limits.
06:50And Pat, we said, can you imagine if Roxanne can knock off this former three-time women's world champion tonight?
07:00Couldn't fathom what Roxanne Perez would feel like this evening.
07:04Rhea Ripley was not expecting this, I do believe.
07:06Her dream since she was 16 to be a WWE superstar.
07:10And here she is opening Raw.
07:12And look at the...
07:13Look at the position of the leg of Rhea Ripley.
07:17Rhea trying to fight her way out of it.
07:19Perez just continues the attack.
07:22I don't know how Rhea's knees are doing it.
07:24Yeah, relentless by Perez.
07:26Still hanging on.
07:27Rhea trying to fight out.
07:28Trying to create some space.
07:30Finally able to do it.
07:35Oh, and a big kick to Perez.
07:37And now it's Roxanne Perez who's stunned.
07:39Rhea really on one leg.
07:41Looking to turn things around with a clothesline.
07:43Come on.
07:46Not allowing any space.
07:49Nice kick for the midsection.
07:51Bad leg though.
07:52Barely able to plant.
07:54Rhea though.
07:56With Roxanne up high.
07:58Ripley, can she catch her balance?
08:00There you go.
08:01Razor's edge.
08:04That's a big...
08:05Oh my word!
08:06What a kick.
08:07Cover by Ripley.
08:09And a kick out.
08:10Notice how she grabbed her bad leg.
08:11She couldn't plant that bad leg pack.
08:13That allowed Perez to kick out.
08:15First it was the...
08:18Razor's edge.
08:19And then a shin to the jaw.
08:21But watch this.
08:22Watch this.
08:23I was gonna say.
08:24She couldn't plant her leg pack.
08:25And that was one of the reasons that Perez was able to kick out.
08:28Because of the injured leg.
08:29Again, here's another look at that.
08:31This is important.
08:32It's gonna be a story throughout this matchup.
08:33As Rhea goes for the cover here.
08:35Normally she would plant the left leg.
08:37Not able to do that and allow Perez to kick out.
08:40It was halfway on there.
08:42Perez was able to take advantage.
08:46Roxanne had an attack.
08:47Rhea's knees.
08:48That's probably one, two, three.
08:50Oh, now we got company.
08:52Yeah, Julia.
08:53Former NXT Women's Champion.
08:55Running buddy with Roxanne Perez is out here.
08:58Again, another NXT Superstar.
09:00Invading Monday Night Raw's turf.
09:03Rhea and Julia got into it last week.
09:07Rhea's gotta turn her attention to Roxanne Perez.
09:10Cover.
09:11Pulls up Rhea.
09:12Rhea able to kick out at two.
09:14The slight distraction by Julia.
09:16And Perez now.
09:17Face first goes Rhea.
09:18Hurricane Ron at DDT.
09:20Roxanne Perez could be closing in.
09:22Big knee to the back of the neck for a massive upset here tonight.
09:27Ripley kicks it, too.
09:29I thought that was it, Cole.
09:31I thought the prodigy had the biggest win of her career here on Monday Night Raw.
09:35Screaming at the official, wanted a quicker count, but Rhea was able to kick out.
09:39Ooh, toughness jet.
09:40Late.
09:41Yeah, well, that slap, I think, just ticked Rhea off.
09:42But maybe not.
09:43Looking for Pop Rocks.
09:44That's Roxanne Perez's finishing move.
09:45Rhea able to hook her, though.
09:46Roxanne.
09:47Oh, big kick.
09:48Down goes Perez.
09:49And the dangerous Julia lurks at ringside.
09:50Julia just had to watch Roxanne's jaw get knee from here to Kansas City.
09:53Kansas City, Kansas.
09:54I can't wait to tug Julia.
09:55Sturring down the road.
09:56Roxanne, though.
09:57Trying to roll up Rhea.
09:58Head-bought by Ripley.
09:59Looking for Riptide.
10:00Julia will let it happen right to the back lane.
10:01The back lane.
10:02The back leg of Ripley.
10:03And Julia and Roxanne Perez, who made a statement last year.
10:06The back lane.
10:07And Julia just had to watch Roxanne's jaw get knee from here to Kansas City, Kansas.
10:10I can't wait to tug Julia.
10:11Sturring down the road.
10:12Roxanne, though.
10:13Trying to roll up Rhea.
10:14Head-bought by Ripley.
10:15Looking for Riptide.
10:16Julia will let it happen right to the back lane.
10:17The back leg of Ripley.
10:18And Julia and Roxanne Perez, who made a statement last year.
10:31Going to do the same thing again here tonight.
10:34I have no idea what these two young women are trying to accomplish.
10:38Coming up here for NXT.
10:40But they've caused issues not only with Rhea, but with this woman.
10:45The world champion, Io Sky.
10:48And Julia trying to make a name for themselves.
10:51Well, say hello to our champ.
10:53Uh-oh.
10:54Julia inadvertently just struck her, her buddy.
10:57Io Sky going to make her pay.
11:00Io repaying the favor from Rhea Ripley last week.
11:09Io caught up on the ropes.
11:11Kick to Perez.
11:13And his world champion knocked off the ropes.
11:19Julia causing her to lose her balance.
11:21And now, again, this pack-like attack by Perez and Julia.
11:26And on one leg, Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring.
11:30And the NXT stars scatter.
11:32Julia and Roxanne leaving quite a mark on the Monday Night Raw roster.
11:41Well, they certainly are making a name for themselves.
11:47Well, I'm not sure they want to mess around with Rhea and Io.
