00:00Spend a bit of time on Rampage.
00:04Oh, my God, it's crazy!
00:08You're on Rampage!
00:10Spend a bit of time on Rampage.
00:12It's simple.
00:13We're following a 20-minute time limit.
00:14Here's your winner, the number one athlete in New York,
00:18Willow Nightingale!
00:22Wednesday on Dynamite on Grand Slam,
00:24Mariah Bay was ready to hit Yuka Sakazaki with a belt
00:27when Willow Nightingale arrived.
00:29An argument ensued, and then out comes Ina Shirakawa.
00:33We are not sure why.
00:35Oh!
00:36And a belt in the back of the head of Willow Nightingale
00:40for the world champion, Mariah Bay.
00:44How can you be this happy all the time?
00:46Well, some people are, man.
00:48They just can't.
00:49Nah, not everybody is like you.
00:51Miserable.
00:53You don't even know the half of it.
00:55Huh.
01:01From Prescott, Victoria, British Columbia,
01:06Taya Valkyrie!
01:11Take a look at fellow Canadian Taya Valkyrie.
01:16Does she have it together or what?
01:19She's spectacular, isn't she?
01:21I mean, she had a style.
01:25She has ability.
01:28And she's had some very broad smile,
01:31but nothing like it now.
01:33She's coming in with a purpose here, man.
01:35She is the total package, if you will, Tony.
01:41When you take a look, Taya Valkyrie now,
01:45man of her time, Rampage.
01:47She seems to be cozying up to Diana.
01:51Is she not?
01:54They seem to be quite the team.
02:02Taya looking great.
02:06Let's see what she's got here against Willow.
02:08One-on-one ladies action main event Friday night Rampage.
02:13In this Grand Slam week here at AEW.
02:17Closing out a fantastic summer.
02:22Going into the fall.
02:23Of course, we've got Wrestle Dream coming up.
02:25Yes, sir.
02:26In a couple of weeks.
02:27On Saturday, October 12th, Matt,
02:29Wrestle Dream originates from the Tacoma Dome
02:31in Tacoma, Washington.
02:33Tickets at AEWTIX.com and available on pay-per-view.
02:37We now know Bryan Danielson will defend the AEW world title
02:40against John Moxley at Wrestle Dream.
02:42More magic to be announced.
02:44Don't forget Dynamite this coming Wednesday live on TBS
02:47at 8, 7 Central.
02:49This is Serena Deeb and Dr. Rick Baker DMD one-on-one
02:52Ricochet-Wallace right for the International Championship.
02:55Celebrating the fifth year of Dynamite.
02:59Let's get nasty here.
03:00It's Friday night time.
03:02Come on now.
03:06Let's go, Taya.
03:07Oh, boy.
03:08Here we go.
03:09Willow fires back.
03:11This thing's going to turn into a slug fest or what?
03:14Come on, get her up.
03:15Let's go.
03:16Just stomping away now.
03:18Willow has been one of the more successful wrestlers
03:20in all of AEW women's wrestling.
03:23And what a 2024 has she had, eh?
03:25Absolutely.
03:27TBS champion.
03:29That's for sure.
03:30New Japan strong women's champion.
03:32CMLL world champion.
03:34Women's world champion.
03:35All over the globe.
03:36Every federation she goes to.
03:40Maybe that's why she's so happy.
03:43Besides Willow's first match since losing to Xuxxes
03:47two weeks ago in Mexico City
03:49at the CMLL's 91st anniversary show.
03:54Look out here.
03:55What a scoop.
03:57Slides out of the way.
04:00Hammer down the back of the head there.
04:02Look out here.
04:07Willow with a counter now.
04:08Going right back to that scoop and a slam.
04:11Taya sits up.
04:12Look out here.
04:14Crossbody and a cover.
04:16Boom.
04:19Taya feeling that one now.
04:22Willow getting the people here in Springfield going.
04:25Going to climb up to the second rope.
04:27This feels like a mistake to me.
04:29Call me crazy.
04:31Yes, I am.
04:33Connecting Taya to the floor.
04:35That's the smartest move she could have done here.
04:37Take a breather.
04:39Big shotgun that time.
04:41Taya Valkyrie.
04:43He looks in the picture.
04:46I did not see that coming.
04:48Cannonball up the top.
04:49Give it to the cameraman.
04:51Taya Valkyrie hits the back of the head as well.
04:53And this match continues in picture in picture.
05:01Man.
05:03Willow.
05:05Just throwing caution to the wind.
05:09I was going to say, Matt, that Taya Valkyrie
05:11looks in the best shape of her life.
05:12Yeah, no question.
05:14I mean, I don't know how good her internal organs
05:16are doing after that.
05:17I don't know either.
05:18That cannonball was lethal.
05:21Wow.
05:22And Willow Nightingale is not done yet.
05:26Just taking it to the floor here.
05:27Why not?
05:30Why not?
05:32There you go.
05:33That's what Taya was trying to do here.
05:34Just buy yourself some time.
05:36Look for an opening.
05:39Why?
05:40Help me.
05:42Easy now.
05:45Smashing Willow in the corner between the safety rails there.
05:49Sometimes as a competitor, that's what you want to do.
05:51All right, Taya.
05:52All right.
05:53You take it to the outside.
05:54Things a little more unpredictable.
05:56Tony on the floor.
05:57Objects all around the ring.
05:58You use what's around you.
06:00You look for an opening.
06:01You pick your spot.
06:02And that's what Taya did right there.
06:04Well, Taya's come in with an attitude.
06:06And, you know, we talk about how this match was made
06:11last Saturday on Collision.
06:17Taya has taken it in.
06:20Match was made last Saturday.
06:30Daddy Magic's microphone just dropped off.
06:33One, two.
06:34Two count.
06:37You got your microphone back there?
06:38I'm good to go here.
06:39Okay.
06:40It's Friday night.
06:46Gut wrench.
06:48There's a shot right there.
06:49Back elbow.
06:50Right to a cradle.
06:51Inside cradle.
06:52One, two.
06:53Got a two count that time.
06:54Did not see that coming.
06:55Oh, wow.
06:56Taya's back up.
06:59Oh, easy now, Taya.
07:03I love it.
07:05Taking it in.
07:09What is it?
07:15Taya Valkyrie just trying to show Willow up here.
07:19You want to talk about confidence and presence
07:22and just being in the moment.
07:24Calm and cool.
07:25That is Taya Valkyrie right here, right now, Tony.
07:29You don't want to get overconfident, though.
07:32That chop coming right across the chest of Willow.
07:34Shouting out the name of Diana Perrazzo there as well.
07:38What do you think is going on there?
07:40I don't want to speculate, Matt.
07:42I know you like to.
07:44What is it, Willow?
07:45Come on now.
07:52And right now, Valkyrie.
07:56One, two.
08:03Now, Taya just going to grind down Willow.
08:06Look at that elbow right to the temple.
08:08Point of the elbow.
08:09I love it.
08:11Right to the eye socket.
08:12Taya's getting nasty.
08:15And I'm here for it.
08:16I'd love to see her pull up the victory here.
08:19Would you say this is her biggest victory of her AEW career?
08:22She can pull it off?
08:23It could be, absolutely.
08:24It's her 25th AEW match, by the way, for Taya Valkyrie.
08:29Who's formed that partnership with Diana Perrazzo.
08:32By the way, in her career against Willow Nightingale,
08:34she's won an O.
08:38What an O.
08:44Back with you on Rampage.
08:45Reminder, tomorrow night from Arthur A. Stadium,
08:47it's Grand Slam Collision here on TNT at 8-7 Central.
08:52Kazuchika Okada will take on Sammy Guevara
08:54in an AEW Continental Championship Eliminator match.
08:58Jeff Jarrett against Hangman,
08:59then a T.J. Lumberjack strap match.
09:01In honor of Hispanic Heritage Monday 3-way Lucha Libre match,
09:04that means mortals, the undefeated hologram Andralishka.
09:08And it's official after what we saw earlier.
09:11Action Andretti will take on Brody King.
09:14Great move by Willow Nightingale.
09:16She's coming up, Matt.
09:18That was the opening she was looking for right there.
09:21Let's see if she can string a couple things together.
09:24Willow using the middle rope as a brace that time.
09:29And boom!
09:31I've got to say, I've been really impressed with the match.
09:32Taya's been wrestling up to this point.
09:34Me too.
09:35I really hope to see her hang on here.
09:38It'd be a shame if this one gets away from her.
09:42With a pump kick that time.
09:43Straight pump kick to the face.
09:46Come on, Taya, get it together now.
09:48Sending Valkyrie to the left side rope.
09:52Clamps her down.
09:53One, two.
09:55Wow, that was a hell of an escape that time by Taya Valkyrie.
09:58What a spot busted here by Willow.
10:00Up and down.
10:04And Taya finding a way to get out of it.
10:07Sometimes you've got to find a way, right, Matt?
10:09It's all a part of being successful in pro wrestling.
10:11Is she going for that drop kick again?
10:13Yes!
10:14Big mistake.
10:15Absolutely.
10:16Big mistake by Willow here.
10:18Taya Valkyrie trying to get Willow up on top.
10:21Maybe for a Samoan Drop.
10:23Probably never know.
10:24Rear kick.
10:25Knee lift.
10:26Knee lift.
10:28Knee sink.
10:30Nicely done.
10:31What's she looking for here now?
10:32Creating that space.
10:33I always say that's a mistake.
10:35Oh!
10:36Got both knees in on Willow Nightingale
10:39and pulls the former champion out.
10:41One.
10:42She's got the cover.
10:43She's got the cover.
10:44Oh.
10:45Did a pretty good job of pushing the arm back.
10:48That's it.
10:49I was just going to point out as well,
10:50you saw, she noticed how close Willow was to the ropes.
10:54That veteran presence of mind.
10:57Off the hair now.
11:00Shot right there.
11:03And Taya is in control of this thing.
11:05Loud crack here in the arena.
11:10Willow is right now stuck up on top.
11:13What is Taya thinking?
11:15What is she going to do with Willow up there?
11:18Willow's got both legs, as you can see,
11:20caught underneath the ropes.
11:22There's no way this is going to pay off, Taya.
11:26Slips underneath.
11:27Willow.
11:28Could be a running powerbomb.
11:29She's caught.
11:30She's caught.
11:31Look out here.
11:33No.
11:34Valkyrie.
11:36Nice shot.
11:37With a thrust kick, sending Willow down.
11:40And now, Taya Valkyrie.
11:43Here she goes, Tone.
11:46Trying to get up on top,
11:47and Willow got her in the side of the head
11:49before she could mount an offense.
11:51These ladies are just going at it here.
11:53Who wants it more?
11:57Looking for a superplex.
11:59There it was.
12:00And down.
12:02Having the effect on both women here, Matt.
12:04What a fight.
12:08Both women.
12:09Both ladies are down.
12:11The referee putting on the count now.
12:14Miranda Martinez with a three count now.
12:20Who's going to make it to their feet first here, Tone?
12:23Who's got enough left in the tank?
12:25Who's going to make the next mistake?
12:27Well, you can see Willow doing everything she can,
12:29pulling herself up on the rope,
12:30but Taya is up as well.
12:32Taya's the first one up.
12:34Actually, they both came up about the same time.
12:36She's going to exchange blows now.
12:38Look at Taya, smashing her face.
12:40I love it.
12:41Oh!
12:42Big time slap, Valkyrie.
12:44That just pissed her off.
12:45Look out, watch the pouch here.
12:47Boom!
12:49Smoked her with it.
12:51Willow got it down.
12:52Willow Nightingale!
12:53And the stretch comes down!
12:55It is Friday night!
12:58Jaw is set.
13:00Go, Branch!
