Sasha and Bayley are 277 00:14:45,417 --> 00:14:47,653 to every woman that's Inside the Elimination Chamber. 278 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,489 People keep trying to take out Sasha, take out Bayley. 279 00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:52,725 They know that them at 100% is dangerous 280 00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:55,694 for what the future of the Women's Tag Team Champions look like. 281 00:14:55,761 -->

and Desire. 286 00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:14,346 Sonya back into the ring, cover by Bayley and a kick-out at two. 287 00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,416 [Phoenix] I also know how hard Sasha and Bayley been working, 288 00:15:17,483 --> 00:15:20,686 doing their homework, studying these beautiful tag team maneuvers 289 00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:23,622 Sasha with a beautiful splash on Rose and Deville. 290 00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:27,159 [Cole] But again, let's talk about what is outside beyond those ropes. 291 00:15:27,226 --> 00:15:31,196 That steel area, some slight protective padding here inside the Chamber, 292 00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:33,098 but still does a number on the body. 293 00:15:33,165 --> 00:15:34,967 [Corey] Absolutely unforgiving. 294 00:15:35,034 --> 00:15:38,771 The entire Chamber structure was designed for agony. 295 00:15:38,837 --> 00:15:41,307 All six of these teams, should I say, 296 00:15:41,373 --> 00:15:44,176 will know that very, very well by the end of the night. 297 00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:45,444 And Sasha now. 298 00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:47,346 -[all exclaiming] -[Corey] Goodnight. 299 00:15:47,413 --> 00:15:50,349 [Cole] This could be it, Sonya looking to

00:15:57,957 [Cole] Again, in this type of matchup, there are no tags per se 303 00:15:58,023 --> 00:15:59,458 in and out of the match. 304 00:15:59,525 --> 00:16:02,528 And Bayley-- and Mandy with a shot to the spine. 305 00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:05,130 [Corey] Check out the power of Mandy Rose. 306 00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:08,300 [Cole] There's no doubt despite the way Corey talks about her-- 307 00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:11,303 Here's the cover, hook to the leg of Bayley and a kick-out. 308 00:16:11,370 --> 00:16:14,073 One of the most improved Superstars in all of WWE. 309 00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:17,309 [Phoenix] Absolutely, and I think the tandem, the synchronicity, 310 00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:18,577 of being in a tag team, 311 00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:21,080 you gotta be with the right person, you gotta work together. 312 00:16:21,146 --> 00:16:23,816 Her and Deville surely have found a groove with each other. 313 00:16:23,882 --> 00:16:25,884 [Corey] "Despite the way I talk about her?" 314 00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:27,953 I tell the truth, Cole, it's what I get paid for. 315 00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:30,055 [Phoenix] It's a little uncomfortable for everybody. 316 00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:32,424 [Cole] And now, as they sent Bayley outside the ring, 317 00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:37,196 Sonya and Mandy Rose dominating The Boss 'n' Hug Connection. 318 00:16:37,262 --> 00:16:38,263 [groaning] 319 00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:41,633 [Cole] Sasha suffering a knee to the midsection, as does Bayley. 320 00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:45,471 Again, at regularly scheduled intervals throughout this matchup, 321 00:16:45,537 --> 00:16:49,742 a pod will open and another team will enter the Elimination Chamber. 322 00:16:50,476 --> 00:16:54,913 [Renee] You see Sasha and Bayley crashing into that steel on the grates. 323 00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:56,615 [Phoenix] Mandy's soaking it in. 324 00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,984 [Cole] Remember, this is only the second time 325 00:16:59,051 --> 00:17:02,488 in the history of WWE that we've had a tag team match 326 00:17:02,554 --> 00:17:03,956 in the Elimination Chamber. 327 00:17:04,022 --> 00:17:08,227 The first were tag team titles back in 2015. 328 00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:09,928 [groaning, grunting] 329 00:17:09,995 --> 00:17:13,198 [Phoenix] We've seen the groundwork laid for these tag team championships. 330 00:17:13,265 --> 00:17:16,568 [Cole] Here's Mandy, cover on Sasha, almost had a near fall. 331 00:17:16,635 --> 00:17:19,004 Former women's champions like The Glamour Girls, 332 00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:20,806 The Jumping Bomb Angels, 333 00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:24,843 generations of women working to see this come to fruition. 334 00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:28,147 [Renee] That must be pretty surreal for you to be out here, right? 335 00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:30,883 [Phoenix] Absolutely, I got the best seat in the house 336 00:17:30,949 --> 00:17:33,118 for all of these incredible women's moments. 337 00:17:33,185 --> 00:17:35,721 [Corey] Listen, I'm enjoying Mandy and Sonya, 338 00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:37,056 admire their handiwork. 339 00:17:37,122 --> 00:17:38,724 The key is the name of the game, 340 00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:41,060 you have to get one member of the other team, 341 00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:44,863 to submit or pin them, thus eliminating both members of that tag team. 342 00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:47,132 -Look at this-- -[Renee] Mandy Rose is stuck. 343 00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:49,268 [Cole] Mandy Rose is stuck in the Chamber, 344 00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:52,171 Sonya Deville perhaps suffering a leg injury 345 00:17:52,237 --> 00:17:54,873 -When you see someone favoring-- -[Corey] Oh, my God! 346 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,276 [Cole] A neckbreaker by Bayley to Mandy Rose 347 00:17:57,342 --> 00:18:00,546 -and Sonya down as well. -[Corey] Might've broken Mandy's ankle. 348 00:18:00,612 --> 00:18:01,980 [Cole] Again to your point, Corey, 349 00:18:02,047 --> 00:18:04,450 you've got to get them in here and make a tag. 350 00:18:04,516 --> 00:18:07,553 And now the Chamber will open, the next pod is going to open. 351 00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:10,289 Who will be the next team to enter the Chamber match? 352 00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:13,125 [Renee] We can see all the other teams getting riled up. 353 00:18:19,364 --> 00:18:21,233 -[buzzer blaring] -[audience
