00:00The following is a fatal full-way match for
00:07the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
00:14One member from each team will be legal at all times.
00:19The first team to score a pinball or submission will be declared the winners
00:25and the Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:23All hail the Queen.
01:59Introducing first, the team of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
02:09Only Alexa and Charlotte can pull off those outfits.
02:14The former tag team champions looking to win back the gold here tonight.
02:21Charlotte Flair, of course, has become synonymous with WrestleMania over the years.
02:29WrestleMania 34, when she beat Asuka to end the record undefeated streak of the Empress of Tomorrow.
02:36She beat Rhea Ripley back at Mania 36.
02:39Ronda Rousey at Mania 38, and of course, Wade, the history making WrestleMania 35.
02:45For Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch,
02:48will be a part of the first ever women's match to main event WrestleMania.
02:55Just so we're clear, Cole, I think you could pull off both of those outfits.
02:59Thanks.
03:00Let's move on because we've got two top stars who know all about hitting top gear at WrestleMania.
03:06Looking to win back tag gold once again tonight.
03:11And this match tonight is brought to you by The Mandalorian and Grogu.
03:16Star Wars returns to the big screen.
03:18Experience Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Grogu.
03:21May 22nd, only in theaters and IMAX.
03:30Alexa Bliss, back at Mania 36, will win the tag team title.
03:50Next, the team of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
03:58Bayley got what she wanted, an opportunity to once again be a part of WrestleMania.
04:03Remember last year, Wade, Becky Lynch, we would find out later,
04:07would attack Bayley, taking her out of WrestleMania.
04:10Becky would replace her to team with Lyra Valkyria to win the tag team gold.
04:14Yeah, it was a short-lived reign.
04:17And of course, Becky Lynch, who had previously attacked Bayley,
04:20then went on to attack Lyra before these two got back together, smooth things over,
04:26and now launching an assault on finally getting the gold here at WrestleMania.
04:31Bayley has three wins in this great spectacle.
04:35Of course, back at WrestleMania 40 when she beat Io Sky to win the WWE Women's Championship.
05:07Yes, they are the WWE Women's Championship.
05:12And team champions, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, the Irresistible Forces.
05:23And both Nia and Lash Legend paying homage to Legends.
05:27Brand new WWE Hall of Famers Axe and Smash Demolition,
05:32who were inducted at just a very emotional ceremony last night.
05:36Yeah, from one powerhouse duo to another.
05:39Here comes the Nia, and here comes the Lasher,
05:43the reigning tag team champs here for the women in WWE.
05:48And what an unstoppable powerhouse duo they make.
05:51Yeah, they won the tag titles back at the end of February
05:54by knocking off Rhea Ripley and Io Sky undefeated as a team.
06:00Just as a formidable, a pair of foes as you could possibly imagine.
06:06Possess zero physical weaknesses and a hell of a lot of assets.
06:12And damn, they look good tonight.
06:15Ready to sparkle here in the desert.
06:18Alexa Bliss looking on.
06:19Her and Nia Jax with quite the rivalry.
06:22In fact, Nia knocked off Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania to win the world title.
06:46So, I tried really hard, you guys, to overcome this injury.
06:51And unfortunately, I couldn't get it mentally clear today.
06:56And I wasn't about to ruin Bree's WrestleMania moment.
07:01So to take my place, I called an old friend.
07:33She's back!
07:37Paige has returned to WWE!
07:46Oh man, I don't think we ever thought we would see the day.
07:53But welcome back, Paige!
08:00And their opponents, accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella.
08:07The team of Bree, Bella, and Paige!
08:14No secret that the Bellas and Paige are longtime friends.
08:20But there is no way anyone knew Paige was gonna be here at WrestleMania.
08:27Oh man, your heart goes out to Nikki Bella, who's missed out because of that injury.
08:33But what a major surprise.
08:35And what a major shot in the arm for this audience who have truly been given a gift here with
08:43the return of Paige.
08:46Paige looks in tremendous shape here tonight.
08:52And she will team with Bree Bella as part of this fatal four-way match for the Women's Tag Team
08:59titles.
09:01And I'm just looking up some, doing some research real quick here, Wade.
09:05We'll go ahead with your point.
09:07I was gonna say the entire UK must be jumping out of their couches right now.
09:11I know it's late there.
09:12I'm sure you're buzzing with energy, thanks to the return of Paige,
09:16part of the famous Night Dynasty over there, while she's back.
09:20And she's coming for the gold.
09:22And apparently, I believe this is Paige's first time in a WWE ring in more than eight years.
09:32Paige, of course, who made her main roster debut.
09:35His last legend starts things off now against Bree Bella.
09:38Bayley in this as well, and so is Alexa Bliss.
09:40Four women in the ring at one time.
09:42First team to gain, pinfall or submission, will win the tag titles.
09:45Meanwhile, back, Paige made her main roster debut.
09:47Remember, against AJ Lee, our current Intercontinental Champion, when she would win a championship.
09:52Yeah, straight in at the top and straight back at the top for Paige.
09:56And of course, in this match, you can only tag your own tag partner.
10:00And now making the most of that are the Irresistible Forces.
10:04Oh!
10:04Geez, Bayley.
10:05Last legend has been so impressive and incredible since teaming with Nia Jax.
10:10I mean, how can these two fail?
10:12Let's be honest, two powerhouses that are both worth double.
10:17It's basically four against two every time they're in tag match.
10:20I still can't stop looking at the apron.
10:21Paige is actually in this match wave.
10:24Oh, man, this place is gonna explode when she gets down.
10:26Oh!
10:27Charlotte Flair with a high cross body.
10:29And the queen now sends Nia Jax out of the ring and delivers a chop to Brie.
10:38You see Charlotte Flair and you talk about Paige.
10:42Remember back at NXT when Paige, Charlotte and Becky were part of that team PCB?
10:48And look at this, Brie Bella hooking up Charlotte who kicks out.
10:50Yeah, here's the problem.
10:51He's got a four way match up.
10:53So with the rules like this, there's always gonna be opponents flying in every time you
10:57go for a move, a pin, whatever.
10:59You'll have your what's about you in there.
11:01Brie Bella using Lyra Valkyria as a weapon and then Lyra wiping out Brie.
11:07How much does this affect Brie?
11:09Obviously it's great you've got Paige, but you are used to teaming with your own twin sister.
11:15Again, I'm looking back in time here and as a Brie Bella delivers the yes kicks now to Charlotte and
11:24Lyra.
11:28Paige actually teamed with Brie on a WrestleMania kickoff show a number of years ago.
11:37Step up in Zagiri.
11:39That's not a particularly deep resume as a tag team but you'll take whatever you can get.
11:43At this point.
11:45Gonna have to click into gear very very quickly here and that's tough to do when you've got Nia Jax
11:51rearranging your spine.
11:53And a tag made and Lash Legend now legal.
11:56I love everything about Lash Legend.
11:58For many people that is the future of the women's division right there.
12:02And that is a small example of exactly why.
12:05They've taken this wall by storm since arriving.
12:08Choke slam right onto the apron of Bayley.
12:10Now Charlotte Flair with a big hoop drops Nia to the floor.
12:12Lash Legend with that boot to Charlotte.
12:16Charlotte is absolutely brilliant.
12:18Has all the experience in the wall but there's so little you can do against someone with a frame like
12:24Lash Legend who knows how to use it.
12:29Using those veteran wiles now is Charlotte Flair.
12:33And smartly tagging out getting the fresh Alexa Bliss in there for a go.
12:37And now Bliss.
12:39And a DDT delivered to Lash Legend.
12:43Now Lyra Valkyria back into the fray.
12:46Lyra Valkyria one of the greatest high flyers and a former Intercontinental Champion in WWE 2.
12:51Now picking up the pace and this is smart.
12:54Once you've got Lash Legend out of the ring.
12:55Do whatever you can on your opponents and capitalize.
12:59And now Bayley and Lyra with the frequent tags.
13:07Double team coming.
13:09Backbreaker.
13:11And Bayley delivers the elbow to Bliss.
13:13Ding dong you idiots.
13:15And Lash Legend gonna break up the near fall.
13:19Well Lash was down but certainly not out and poised at the right time to break up that pin.
13:24And three fingertips away from her partner Paige before Lash Legend intercepts and sends her to the corner.
13:31And how much would Lash Legend love to spoil this return of Paige by preventing her from even getting tagged
13:37in.
13:37Get this one finished before Paige can even enter.
13:40Yeah I was gonna say Paige hasn't even been in this matchup.
13:43Well Nikki tries to roll the crowd on.
13:46Alexa Bliss now and Lyra Valkyria gonna double team Brie.
13:49It's all about loose alliances in this one.
13:52Attack opponents but keep your wits out about you.
13:55These things never last long.
13:57And now Lash Legend so confident she powers her way in here.
14:02A bougie bully doing her thing.
14:06Yeah sending Bliss and Lyra to the mat.
14:09Meanwhile Brie Bella perched on the top rope.
14:12Missile drop kick by Brie.
14:13And an absolute bullseye at that taking a lot out of Brie.
14:17Four women down.
14:18Fresh partners now on the apron demanding entry into this match.
14:24Gotta tag your own partner.
14:27Lyra trying to drag herself to Bayley.
14:29Tag made.
14:30Here comes Nia Jax.
14:32Here comes Charlotte Flair.
14:34Bayley in as well.
14:37Charlotte with a big boot.
14:40Nice nimble work there by Nia Jax.
14:42And now that intolerable overwhelming.
14:45Oh god!
14:46Here comes Paige!
14:47What the world's been waiting for.
14:51A two-time Divas champion.
14:53Paige taking it to Nia.
14:55The inaugural NXT Women's Champion.
15:03Yep.
15:04Hook up Bayley here.
15:06Fisherman suplex.
15:10Paige is looking better than ever.
15:16And Paige now sent out to the apron.
15:18Last legend gets caught by a kick.
15:20Paige now.
15:21Look at the well placed knees to legend.
15:23Wearing legend out.
15:25Just a step ahead of the competition since that tag is Paige.
15:29What is she cooking up here?
15:32Paige now off the top rope cross body.
15:34To Lyra Valkyria.
15:36He rolls through.
15:37Beautiful.
15:40Nice Lyra.
15:41Lyra looking for Nightwing.
15:43Paige able to counter.
15:44Scrambling out at exactly the right toe.
15:47Oh!
15:47Paige Turner!
15:49Is it enough to put her away?
15:50And of breaking things up is Bayley.
15:53Turning back the clock with a Paige Turner.
15:56And that was Samoan drop by Nia Jax.
16:01And Jax just going on a tear at the right time.
16:05This is championship time now.
16:07We're going to retain the gold here.
16:09And dump Brie Balor out on her head.
16:11But denied.
16:15Now Nia Brie go down.
16:17Last legend from behind.
16:19They're going to hook up Lyra for a last extension here.
16:24Cover.
16:25Paige and Charlotte break it up.
16:27And they needed to.
16:28Because that was game over for Lyra Valkyria.
16:31Kept the match alive for themselves.
16:33I mentioned that these two were teammates many years ago.
16:36And NXT.
16:40Working together to clear the ring.
16:42And make this one on one.
16:46Teammates rivals.
16:53Two women that led us.
16:56To the evolution.
16:57The barrier smashing.
16:59Game changing.
17:01Queens of the industry.
17:02Throwing down.
17:12And now Paige starting to get the upper hand on Charlotte.
17:16Big shot by Charlotte.
17:19Looking for the figure eight.
17:22Got her.
17:23Got her.
17:24Kick out by Charlotte at two.
17:26Paige is looking.
17:29That could be good night right here.
17:31But gotta move quick.
17:32While the rest of the teams are down.
17:35Alexa Bliss.
17:38With Paige in trouble.
17:40Bree Bella yanking Charlotte out of the way.
17:43Distracting Bliss.
17:45That's Nikki.
17:46Wait a minute.
17:47Nikki with the crutch.
17:49Nikki with the crutch.
17:53Twisted Bliss.
17:54Paige got her knees up.
17:56Well that pause was all it took for Paige to recover.
18:00Paige, grab Paige.
18:03One, two, three.
18:05Paige and Bree with the top titles.
18:09You are your winners.
18:12And new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
18:20Bree Bella and Paige.
18:24What an emotional moment tonight.
18:27The return of Paige.
18:31To win Tag Team Gold.
18:35Well shock and awe for the entire industry.
18:38Paige back where she belongs.
18:41And back at the very top.
18:43This is the moment Nikki Bella got involved from the outside.
18:46Of course Cruelly taken out of the match.
18:48With that ankle injury.
18:50Now attacking Charlotte Flair.
18:52With that crutch.
18:54Wiping out Flair.
18:55Distracting Bliss.
18:56Giving Paige enough time to recover.
18:59Bring up the knees on this twisted Bliss.
19:02And then really make it count.
19:05Moments later with this Cradle DDT.
19:08Ram Paige.
19:09And we have new Tag Champs.
19:11Shockingly.
19:12Bree Bella and Paige.
19:14Paige.
19:15Paige won a championship.
19:18On her debut in WWE over a decade ago.
19:26And now she returns for the first time in eight years.
19:31And what does she do?
19:33She wins gold.
19:35She wins gold.
19:35Again.
19:45She wins gold.
20:07One of the most inspirational women that you will ever meet.
20:12Paige has returned to WWE to win the tag team titles.
20:17That is just the ultimate feel good story.
20:20If you're a fan of this industry.
20:21A fan of the journey we've all been on over the past 15 years in the women's division.
20:26Paige.
20:26That was amazing.
20:27Congratulations.
20:28Well, you know, everyone is out for WrestleMania.
20:31Even the Mandalorian and Grogu who traveled to see.
