The captain of Team SmackDown,
Sasha Banks, multi time champion.
And remember, Corey, what Sasha and
Bayley said about making
the women's division in NXT.
They believe they did that.
>> I would certainly
agree that to an extent-
>> Beautiful counter,
Nox almost caught Banks.
>> Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch,
Charlotte Flair, certainly all vital,
integral parts of the glory days so
to speak of the NXT women's division.
[LAUGH].
>> And here comes Rhea Ripley, and
that sends Banks back a few steps.
>> NXT never had anyone like Rhea Ripley.
>> She'll be the captain of her
team at NXT as part of War Games.
Banks with a slap to the first
ever NXT UK women's champion.
>> Ripley is a powerhouse with
a mean streak a mile long.
>> There's an example of that power
from the defiant Rhea Ripley.
>> That's what I'm talking about!
NXT?
That's what I'm talking about!
>> Rhea as bad as they come.
>> NXT baby.
>> Very unique and imposing individual.
Will dominate in the women's division,
NXT and WWE, for
years to come in my estimation.
>> And look at this again.
Great counter by Banks.
>> Into the Bank Statement now.
Rhea though rolls onto her back.
Able to counter,
Sasha rolls through yet again.
Rhea though back to her feet,
shoves Banks into the corner.
Sasha Banks,
as defiant as they come as well, and
a couple of cheap shots from Ripley and
Banks.
>> It's breaking down here!
>> The official trying to regain control
of this eight woman tag team match between
SmackDown and NXT.
>> Able to avoid contact for the moment
but sent crashing to the outside.
>> And what a drop kick by Ripley!
Impressive athleticism by Rhea Ripley.
But the boss with a knee right to the jaw.
>> Yeah, the captain of team SmackDown,
The Boss, Sasha Banks, and Dakota Kai.
We talked about her kicks in
striking ability earlier.
And now Nikki Cross, top rope.
Nikki who made her name in NXT as well.
Rolls through, got caught big kick by Kai.
>> Scorpion kick connected right
between the eyes of Nikki Cross.
Dakota Kai's got something to prove to not
only herself but the NXT women's roster
after being excluded-
>> What a neck breaker by Cross.
Just like that, Team SmackDown!
>> Wow!
[MUSIC]
>> Here are your winners!
>> No time to celebrate,
no rest for the weary.
>> And meanwhile the SmackDown women back
in the ring as the NXT women went attack.
And the brawl again underway.
Just a prelim of what we're gonna get
a week from Sunday at Survivor Series.
Emotions running high.
It's about brand supremacy,
it's about representing yout team,
about representing your show,
representing your brand.
And SmackDown holds court here tonight.
