17:21from temporary gf get to take your wrath out on wasting no time just driving that shoulder of the
17:29match by charlotte last week for naya jack magnitude of this opponent against the tonight shaking it off
17:35pretty damn quickly is naya jacks the summer slam women's championship cross body but there will be an
17:43interim champion could it be naya you know full well most are just one clothesline got to keep your
17:51head in the game and now naya jacks we're gonna wrap her up you make it stick that's the question
17:59the power just not enough there luckily for charlotte up and attacking oh boy what a turnaround
18:07player yeah and that's small coming off the second rope with the leg drop oh and i thought it was
18:15just when it looked like all hope up on her knees 14 times world champion
18:24who the hell remember how upset naya jacks was causing a disqualification that inadvertently gave
18:32uh-oh it's jade and the baddies of charlotte flair herself charlotte flair of course taking her eye
18:41off the ball there yeah mind you're down behind the referees back now oh man charlotte mitchin
18:50and b-fax moved the foot charlotte flair just a step wait up oh naya's looking for the samoan drop

19:07and jade
19:09blows up that's going to be not just once again disqualified she's got her in position jaded
19:16charlotte flair for losing that time
19:21and sammy zane is one half of it we find out the other half
19:31davian pree finn bowler has to fight for the biggest prize of all a win for finn and it's off
19:39the young star from columbia south carolina
19:45trick william he is as ascended to star as there's been this year this is going to be shocking to
19:50everybody but sammy zane was i know it's a shock that sammy was complaining and he was going on
19:56fight for the championship so he's in one side four who cm punk recently as a tender so now they're
20:03going to determine and royce keys pure power back here in oakland sammy zane on one side one of these
20:12four men trade oh god oh god oh watch out pace is being set early on here timing wow delayed
20:21vertical
20:21suplex and gets sent hard into the turnbuckle tier competitors we've got a couple of noses going to
20:28the very top now finn a little payback for trick man that chop would have been game over for finn
20:35balor but there's your reward
20:40seeing the power of voice keys center of the ring judgment day colleagues turn
20:45don't forget balor oh wow years ago in our main event here priest with a big splat and that's
20:52gonna be serving very well in a chaotic wow that jumping neck breaker and now showing you force that
21:00he's become and the kip up apparently trick willie is one of those guys and now those look at finn
21:08up and
21:09over solo sokoa arrives i think that would be royce keys insurance top choice royce when he jumps
21:22and spins and creates so much power is devastating royce williams able to counter but man what an
21:28uppercut to take down big royce keys all of a sudden it's trick wow
