00:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratten!
00:24So here comes the well-earned victory lap after a hard-fought match, and for Tiffany Stratten,
00:30WrestleMania was more than just a title defense. Charlotte Clare really watched her in ways leading up to WrestleMania that few could have.
00:37Wade, I think for the WWE Women's Champion, she's forever changed because of that match, and that experience, and that build-up, and it's for the better.
00:45Tiffany Stratten just take a look at the wounds she's wearing across her face and body.
00:51She was put through the ringer by the most physical Charlotte Flair I've ever seen. It was a fight in the trenches.
00:59We've known for years that Tiffany Stratten can win pretty, well now she can also win ugly. A big development in the career of the champ.
01:08Tiffany Stratten!
01:13What time is it?
01:15Tiffany Stratten!
01:18That's right, at WrestleMania in front of 60,000 people, it was Tiffy time.
01:25Tiffany Stratten!
01:28I went toe-to-toe with one of the greatest of all time, Charlotte Flair.
01:34Tiffany Stratten!
01:38And I can't even lie, there were moments when I doubted myself, and the pressure got to me, but in the end, I prevailed, and I walked out of WrestleMania, and still your WWE Women's Champion!
01:54Tiffany Stratten!
02:03And I was always told for the longest time, Tiffany, you're the next Charlotte Flair!
02:09Wrong!
02:10There may be only one Charlotte Flair, but I guarantee you there is only one Tiffany Stratten!
02:20Speaking of one of one...
02:33Tiffany, cut it!
02:43Tiffany Stratten!
02:44Now I came here to give credit where it's due, and your match with Charlotte was very impressive, but that did nothing but create a bigger target on your back.
02:58Tiffany Stratten!
02:59And since business is finished with Naomi, I have nothing but time.
03:05Tiffany Stratten!
03:08So I think it's time for me to remind everybody why I came here to WWE.
03:17Tiffany Stratten!
03:18I think it's time for everyone to see why I came here to be a champion.
03:26And I think it's time for you to understand just because you beat Charlotte doesn't make you the best, especially when you haven't faced me.
03:39Okay, well, why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and let's get a rip out here, right here, right now!
03:49A little WrestleMania encore to the max.
03:55Yes!
03:56Instant dream matchup in Texas!
03:58Tiffany and Jade, let's go!
03:59Ow!
04:00Well, this is one of those unexpected gifts that just arises every so often.
04:08Tiffany Stratten and Jade Cargill meeting up here instantly saying, you know what, let's just do this.
04:14Now, what I'm curious about here, Wade, is we saw them both in action Saturday at WrestleMania in Vegas.
04:20But for Jade, you know, listen, two-time women's tag team champion.
04:24Now, trying to gather a little momentum on the singles side, gets the win over Naomi, and now gets to prove herself here against Tiffany.
04:30Yeah, I think it's a good point. We've seen Jade Cargill at the top, but you're right, it's been in the tag rank.
04:35If you're a champ in the tag world here, but your partner is one of the greatest of all time, Bianca Bell, how much load were you really carrying?
04:45Were you being a passenger on those victories? Well, clearly, Jade Cargill proved against Naomi at WrestleMania.
04:51She can stand tall on her own. Oh, it's the roll-up by Stratten.
04:54And now, Jade Cargill clearly trying to follow up that big momentum builder against Naomi here.
05:00Against the champ, Tiffany Stratten. What a statement it would be if the Storm pulls out a big dub tonight.
05:06You, Cole, and Pat were on the call for her victory against Naomi.
05:10How about some of the displays of power we saw in that match?
05:14Yeah, well, these are two great athletes in very different ways.
05:17For me, the key with Jade Cargill is that power. There was a moment of WrestleMania.
05:22She plucked Naomi out of thin air as Naomi was going for a blockbuster.
05:26I cannot stress, as an athlete, how difficult that is to pull off.
05:31The strength and balance and core power to pull that off is ridiculous.
05:35There's nothing you can do in a gym to train for that. It's just God-given talent.
05:40Now, here's an example of it.
05:42And Stratten able to get that arm dragged there. Tiffany, of course, herself.
05:49There it is, right there, into the backbreaker, just catching her in midair.
05:52But Tiffany herself surviving what was such a brutal test of endurance in that draining match against Charlotte Flair.
06:01When you reflect on it, as you see, Stratten now coming straight in with that running hip attack as she had Jade up against the ropes.
06:08What impressed you the most with Tiffany against Charlotte?
06:11Tiffany's ability to not be swallowed up by a more experienced competitor.
06:16What a big spine buster there from Jade Cargill. Hold on.
06:19One, two.
06:20All the pressure on the shoulders of Tiffany Stratton. It was a ginger kick out there.
06:25Oh, boy, was it?
06:26Stratton is hurting here.
06:27Well, listen, I mean, we saw what she looked like after the match.
06:32And again, just pressing down on the shoulders and able to get that left shoulder up.
06:36Well, Stratton still has bruises all over her body, especially on the forehead there from one of the natural selections, I think it was, that connected.
06:45She went for that knee, but instead, Stratton went right into the cover.
06:49And now the spine buster of her own as she hooks the leg, looking to put away Jade.
06:53And Jade easily getting that left shoulder up.
06:55You've got to think the kind of wars that these two women both went through a few days ago at WrestleMania.
07:00There's a lot being taken out of these bodies.
07:02These two are hurting.
07:04And ideally, you would not take this kind of match, but both are such competitors, they want to fight right now.
07:11I don't know how smart that is.
07:12112 days as champion for Tiffany Stratton, but not backing down from any challenge at all.
07:19And it is Tiffy time.
07:21You know, it's hard to believe, Wade, she has been headlining, she hooks the leg here.
07:26And once again, the kick out.
07:27She's been headlining for so long now, but it's hard to believe that this past weekend was Stratton's WrestleMania debut.
07:35Yeah, it's pretty wild.
07:36I mean, she's been in massive events before, most notably probably at NXT, where she's been at the main event level there.
07:42And really parlayed that in super quick time to being the number one in the women's division here.
07:48But don't forget, Tiffany Stratton, four years ago, had nothing to do with this industry.
07:53Perhaps the quickest developer ever and in full control here against Jay Cargill.
07:58Here in Fort Worth, a big crowd of 11,600 plus sold out at Dickies Arena.
08:07And they are enjoying seeing this.
08:09Unexpected, but here they are.
08:11Tiffany Stratton and Jay Cargill, of course, less than a week removed from the WrestleMania victories
08:16and deciding to test each other.
08:18And at this point, Wade, it becomes the rolling symptom.
08:21Who has what left in the tank?
08:23Here we go, Joe.
08:24Here it is.
08:25Oh, she trips up on it.
08:27Now jumps up.
08:28Prettiest moonsault ever.
08:29But Jay gets on the way.
08:30Yeah, that was a slip that did that.
08:32Jay Cargill was bang to right.
08:33It shows how beat up Tiffany Stratton is.
08:35I've never seen her miss.
08:37On that.
08:38Oh, but it's down.
08:39A corner Alabama slam.
08:41Powerbomb Jay.
08:43And just in the nick of the time, tippy time survives.
08:46It just shows you how powerful Jay Cargill really is.
08:49This attempt by Tiffany Stratton.
08:52Mid-air.
08:53Let me just catch you.
08:54Turn it into a powerbomb.
08:55Lock it tight.
08:56But that is why Tiffany Stratton is the champion.
09:00I'm still getting over Tiffany Stratton.
09:02Slipping on that moonsault attempt.
09:05Something I have never seen before.
09:07Tiffany's hurting here.
09:08But I think it sums up the state of these two.
09:11This is not the fresh Barbie doll entrance we saw of Tiffany.
09:15This is somebody that had to get through the fire of Charlotte Flair.
09:20Oh, she won ugly against Charlotte Flair.
09:22She's going to have to win ugly again tonight against Jay Cargill.
09:26Looking to create some offensive momentum.
09:28But instead, Jay and oh, and now.
09:31Looking to counter as Stratton.
09:33And she delivers the basement drop kick.
09:35Right into the cover.
09:37Oh, nice there.
09:41From Tiffany Stratton.
09:43I'll tell you right now.
09:44I saw Jay pluck Tiffany from mid-air.
09:48Attempting Jayden.
09:50Scarpering out of there with Tiffany Stratton.
09:53And almost pulling out the win.
09:55Wait, there have been two instances in this match now.
09:57Where you're just in awe of what Jay Cargill can do with the power.
10:00And to control an opponent.
10:02You saw it there on the cartwheel.
10:03All of them to slam that she countered to the powerbomb.
10:05And then looking for the jaded moments to go.
10:07And now quick to meet Tiffany.
10:09Up on the ropes.
10:11Tiffany Stratton.
10:12Very slow getting up to that top turn.
10:14But now.
10:15Over blocks.
10:16Jay Cargill.
10:17A lot has been taken out of Jay Cargill here.
10:20You want to pounce on a pin as quickly as you can.
10:23But the body is not cooperating with the mind when it comes to Jay Cargill.
10:29And that has allowed an escape here for Tiffany Stratton.
10:32Just when all was looking lost.
10:34She looks to roll out of the ring.
10:36And you can see the significant bruising on her back.
10:39You can see Jay Cargill.
10:40Oh no!
10:42Jay said business is finished with Naomi about five minutes ago.
10:46No it's not.
10:48Not at all.
10:49Well Naomi may have lost at WrestleMania.
10:52But that has clearly settled nothing.
10:55As far as Naomi is concerned.
10:59And deep into this match.
11:01When so much was taken out of Jay Cargill.
11:04That is when Naomi decides to strike.
11:07Oh it's slamming her right into the post.
11:11Oh what?
11:13Oh what?
11:14Oh what?
11:15An unhinged and vindictive Naomi.
11:18Saying this ain't over till I say it is.
11:21Last Saturday it was Jade who got the best of her bitter rival.
11:26All the emotion attached to these two.
11:29And now Naomi comes in and interrupts the action.
11:33In this match against Tiffany Stratton.
11:36After Jade was reaching for her back.
11:38Was slow to move.
11:39And Naomi pounces on her.
11:41Twice now.
11:42Sending her into the post.
11:44As her body just drapes to the floor.
11:50And Tiffany Stratton.
11:52Back on her feet.
11:59And Naomi decides to exit.
12:01On that stare down.
12:03Naomi came here for one reason and one reason only at.
12:06Nia Jax.
12:07Nia Jax.
12:12The former mentee of Tiffany Stratton.
12:16Who Stratton stopped in the bank to cash in the money in the bank contract.
12:21And take the gold from back in January.
12:25Can you believe it's one third for Naomi.
12:32But now.
12:33Nia Jax with the leg drop.
12:36On Tiffany Stratton.
12:38It's the ghost of Christmas past.
12:41And this is a violent assault on the WWE Women's Champion.
12:53Looking for the annihilator on Tiffany time.
12:56I'm back for what's mine Tiffany Stratton.
13:02That was hers.
13:05And then the cash in happens.
13:06A hundred and twelve.
13:07That was hers.
13:08And then the cash in happens.
13:09A hundred and twelve.
13:10A hundred and twelve.
13:13He's not evolutionary.
13:15This is her win true.
