00:02The man has come around.
00:12Well, all the stars are out in force tonight,
00:15and maybe the biggest name in women's wrestling,
00:19the women's Intercontinental champ, the man, Becky Lynch, is here,
00:24and she's defending in the world's most famous arena.
00:28Last week in Boston, Lynch sucker punched Maxine Dupree,
00:31a week before she jumped on this announce desk with a live bike and hijacked the show.
00:35Now, the IC Championship match, Maxine Becky from right here at Madison Square Garden.
00:50Introducing first the challenger from Sacramento, California, Maxine Dupree.
01:02Here is her opponent from Dublin, Ireland.
01:12She is the women's Intercontinental Champion.
01:21The man, Becky Lynch.
01:31Jessica Carr, our referee, she has been efficient.
01:34Well, that was with force.
01:36So it should be.
01:37Fast Count Carr has screwed over Becky Lynch.
01:40I don't know about that now.
01:41And basically handed a free win to Maxine via counter.
01:45That's what kicked off this entire charade of a few.
01:50That's right.
01:51Show a long respect.
01:51Takes the title back.
01:52Trying to get this match started, and she takes the title back.
01:56That's fine.
01:56Bring the bell.
01:57Oh, there we go.
01:58We got a bell.
01:59We got an Intercontinental Championship match underway.
02:02Oh, what a hot start for Maxine.
02:04Oh, my God.
02:04Big boom to try to take it right here.
02:06And that was a distraction from Fast Count Carr once again.
02:09There was a bell, Wade.
02:11The match was underway, and Maxine was ready and prepared for action.
02:16Maxine, hot out of the blocks here.
02:18An opportunity to win the Intercontinental Championship.
02:21Her parents are in the house tonight.
02:24Merchant, come in and see your daughter win gold in Madison Square Garden.
02:28Sounds like a dream, doesn't it?
02:30Well, the dream may well be over now,
02:32because taking full control is the champ, Becky Lynch.
02:35As was the case with her family there when she was back home in Sacramento against Becky Lynch.
02:42Remember, there was the win via count out.
02:44There was the win by way of disqualification when Becky hit Dupree with the title.
02:49And now you see right back into the face of Jessica Carr, the fine official, veteran official,
02:55who's done an outstanding job recently with these two.
02:58Now listen, they were wins for Maxine Dupree, but a win by count out, a win by disqualification.
03:05There's a little asterisk next to those victories.
03:08They're not as definitive as a pinfall or a submission.
03:13Well, I mean, there's no championship, obviously, with the DQs.
03:16We continue on. Intercontinental Championship from New York.
03:22Back here at Madison Square Garden, just a packed house in New York for this historic night.
03:27Maxine Dupree initially stated that she felt like she needed more time to prepare
03:32for this women's Intercontinental Championship match against Becky Lynch, the rematch.
03:36But ultimately saying, you know, ready isn't a feeling, it's a choice.
03:40And she accepted this challenge.
03:42And now you see her trying to rally against Becky Lynch.
03:47Would you look at Maxine Dupree go here?
03:49Well, Maxine Dupree got in very little offense so far in this one.
03:53Oh!
03:54Wow!
03:55What a connection!
03:56Could she have gold?
03:57Oh, big swinging haymaker with that ribu connected flush on the temple of the champ.
04:03But the champ is now rocked.
04:05I did not see this coming.
04:06Oh, Maxine comes in the squasher into that corner.
04:09And Dupree now trying to keep all this momentum right here.
04:13A snap fisherman suplex there.
04:15And the kip up, and here she goes.
04:18She is feeling all the momentum at MSG.
04:21About to steal a page out of the book of Otis, maybe.
04:25Drops that leg to win the Intercontinental Championship.
04:29And Lynch survives.
04:31Oh, God, transitioning, looking for an ankle, but denied.
04:34That was smart by Becky Lynch, scrambling out of that one.
04:37Championship caliber defense here from the Intercontinental Champion.
04:41And a big elbow, and now Lynch snaps down.
04:43Remember, on October 20th in Sacramento, Maxine was much improved, and she was able to get that ankle lock.
04:49But right now, Becky's looking to put it away.
04:52And Dupree stays alive here.
04:56Women's Intercontinental Championship.
04:58One of the greatest to ever do it.
05:00Becky Lynch against the upstart, Maxine Dupree.
05:04You can almost see.
05:05Here in New York.
05:06The cobs whirring in the mind of Becky Lynch now.
05:10Trying to concoct something truly devious, dastardly.
05:14Clearly attacking that left arm of Maxine Dupree.
05:17Has gone for it several times here, and Dupree wise for it.
05:21Trying to battle out now.
05:24Maxine now pounding down against the man.
05:27Three, four, five, six, four.
05:31Doing some real toughness, but here's the smart to Becky Lynch.
05:34She's been in that position before.
05:36Nice power ball.
05:37Right into the cover.
05:39Ooh, tightly stacked pin there too.
05:41Oh, here we go.
05:41Oh, she's looking for the arm.
05:42Oh, she's got it, Wade.
05:44Well, clearly we're softening that left arm up several times.
05:47Maxine now has the arm bar blocked, but you get full extension here.
05:51Trying to bridge out of it.
05:52And she does.
05:54Maxine Dupree bridges out of it.
05:57And could she then mount some offense?
05:59No.
06:00Becky right back to it.
06:01What a scramble between these two.
06:04A technical array of hold for hold.
06:07Reversal for reversal.
06:09Remember, Lynch has been putting in so much work.
06:14Trying to overcome.
06:15Oh, looking for the quick one.
06:17Another nice reversal there.
06:19An attempt perhaps at the manhandle slam.
06:21There it is.
06:22Into a patented Chad Gable style ankle lock.
06:26The ankle lock is in.
06:29Dupree has been training so hard for this moment as Lynch sort of that rope break.
06:35Tap out here.
06:36We have a new Intercontinental Champion.
06:39Look at her face.
06:40Locked in center of the ring.
06:41A million miles away from the rope.
06:44Lynch is about to tap.
06:46Becky Lynch is writhing in pain grimacing.
06:49And nobody saw this coming.
06:51Can Becky Lynch figure out a way out.
06:53Shoulders are down.
06:54Shoulders are down.
06:56What a way to get out of the whole pin your opponent.
06:59But now Becky Lynch can hardly walk.
07:02Dupree.
07:03Becky.
07:03Oh, good counter.
07:05By Becky.
07:06This has been but a nice shot there from Becky Lynch.
07:09Completely dropping the challenger.
07:11Now take two of the manhandle slam.
07:15Right into the man's handle to put her away.
07:17Foot's on the rope.
07:18Foot is on the rope.
07:19And I would call that a schoolboy or schoolgirl error right there.
07:25Just bad ring positioning.
07:27But it shows you how exhausted and beat up Becky Lynch is.
07:31That someone with her experience pinned her opponent so close to the ropes.
07:38Now Lynch is right in the face of referee Jessica Carr.
07:42She's had issues with her recently.
07:44Oh, look at Wade.
07:45Come on now.
07:55You need to be intimidated.
07:58Time for Maxine Dupree to recover but it has not help.
08:02Now dropping the hammer is the Intercontinental champ.
08:07Parking orders at the ref here.
08:09Count Maxine out.
08:11Remember it was a count out victory that Maxine Dupree had
08:14over Becky Lynch and as she does that she's undoing the top oh no are you
08:21kidding me this place is gonna explode AJ Lee
08:29well we haven't seen AJ Lee since Russell Palooza where she beat Becky Lynch in Mixed Tag
08:38has been talking trash online ever since watch out high-flying crossbody Maxine Dupree
08:47oh my
09:05it happened it happened right here at MSG
09:11it's a miracle a thousand to one outside of Maxine Dupree just beat Becky Lynch and is now the
09:21Intercontinental Champion as massive a title-changing upset as you will see
09:30and this was the moment AJ Lee after a couple of months being able
09:35turned off the major distraction Maxine Dupree did not need to be asked twice
09:41pulls on a crossbody a shocking victory the humiliation
09:49of Becky Lynch is now complete
09:52and somehow we have a new women's Intercontinental Champion
10:06coast to coast they must be celebrating from family and friends in Sacramento to those here in New York
10:14Maxine Dupree said ready isn't a feeling it's a choice she was ready for the moment and pounced when
10:23opportunity was there with that high-flying crossbody
10:29are now completely losing it in disbelief perhaps is Becky Lynch but Maxine Dupree this night is yours
