I'm your host Greg Miller

@GameOverGreggy on Twitter and

Instagram and on today's

episode, we look at the most bad

ass women in WWE history.

Superstars that could quite

possibly contest my claim as the

current intergender wrestling

champion.

Thank you.

You know what?

On second though, the idea of an

armbar by the baddest women on

the planet is enough for me to

relinquish my title.

Congratulations to your new

champion, Ronda Rousey.

In fact, Ronda Rousey is one of

several WWE Superstars that have

obliterated every glass ceiling

their way and proven beyond a

shadow of a doubt that are legit

tough bad asses both in and out

of the ring.

[music] >> What makes a bad ass

woman?

All the things really.

>> She's a shining example of

what a bad ass looks like.

>> Confidence, energy.

>> The way you walk, the way you

talk.

Knowing yourself and

representing yourself

authentically.

>> Someone who's not afraid to

kick down doors and smash glass

ceilings.

>> We're beautiful, and we're

strong, and we're feminine, and

we're brave, and we could still

kick your ass at the end of the

day.

>> A Moonsault.

>> Oh, my God.

>> I don't think there's even a

rulebook on what makes a bad ass

woman.

You just see her and you know

it.

>> Double Sharpshooter?

>> When I think bad ass, I think

of Chyna.

>> Becky Lynch.

>> Jacqueline.

>> Bull Nakano.

>> Beth Phoenix.

>> Asuka.

>> The Bellows, Bianca Belair.

>> We're there for change, we're

there for empowerment, we're

there for representation.

>> That's a bad ass woman.

>> Women are making their mark

right now.

>> For a long time our women >>

By women were underutilized.

>> It's gravy all the time.

>> Here we go.

>> Feathers are flying.

>> The fans spoke up

GiveDivasAChance turn it for

three days.

It was the first step for what

now has been the greatest thing

for women at WWE.

>> The women were no longer

called Divas.

We were all considered

superstars.

>> Charlotte is our Women's

Champion.

>> It's so cool to be a part of

somebdy's

first ever.

>> The first ever Women's Hell

in a Cell Match, first ever

Women's Money in the Bank Match.

>> First ever Women's

Elimination Chamber.

First ever Women's Royal Rumble.

>> The first Women's Pay Per

View, Evolution were

main eventing at

Wrestlemania.

>> A historic night.

>> I remember the first women's

match in Abu Dhabi

>> I don't

think we really understood how

big of a deal it was until we

got to step back and hear what

the crowd was saying.

>> This is hope.

>> The women of the WWE can be

some symbol of hope or those

women, those young girls all

around the world.

>> It really brings me a lot of

joy to see young female fans.

>> When they see how strong we

are, they see that we can

overcome everything it gives

them this inspiration that they

can do that same.

>> This is what it's all about.

>> I want this generation to

grow up seeing women doing

extraordinary things that

they've always been capable of

doing and now have the platform

to do it.

>> A ground to breaking moment.

>> We get to show the world that

there are no limits.

>> It is about showing today's

generation that they can be and

do anything.

>> Yes.

I'm not messing with any of

them.

You know what they say, people

without limits rewrite the

script and our first superstar

has done just that from the

Irish Lass Kicker to Big time

Becks to my favorite The Man.

Becky Lynch has reinvented

herself time and time again to

become one of the fiercest and

greatest superstars in WWE

history.

>> Let me remind you who the

hell I am.

>> The Irish Lass Kicker, Becky

two belts, The Man, Big time

Becks.

>> SmackDown's first ever

women's champion.

>> The longest reigning RAW

Women's Champion in history.

>> I wasn't meant to be the

top of the entire industry, but

here I am.

>> She was like the underdog for

so long and then we saw just

this pivotal change in her

career and she just needed that

one moment to prove that she's

with the best.

>> A friendship cast aside.

>> Oh, Becky.

That's your best friend.

>> Was the best friend.

>> Becky has now taking what she

wants.

[bell ringing] >> Beating

Charlotte Flair proved

I am The Man.

>> She was able to reinventing

herself into this-- >> This

amazing character, the man that

everyone loved.

[crowd cheers] >> They liked me

as this badass.

This is what I'm worth, this is

how hard I've worked and I'm

taking what's common to me.

>> It was in 2018 that a Hulk

Smash courtesy of Nia Jax would

alter the course of history and

Becky's career would never be

the same.

>> I'm coached in blood, but I'm

still in fight mode.

>> Becky Lynch driven by this

obsession to be the best.

>> She owned that entire arena

with a bloody and bruised face.

It was the same emotions when it

was the Steve

austin / Bret Hart.

He's got the blood running down

his face.

Watching that was just like I

was in all.

>> There always be that iconic

image of her with her bloodied

face standing at the top of the

stands.

>> It really speaks to her

toughness, and obviously

toughness is badass.

>> Becky furthered her

reputation as a badass by making

WWE history, performing in the

first ever all women's

WrestleMania, Main Event.

>> If you would have told me 20

years ago that women were going

to be the main event of

WrestleMania I wouldn't have

been with you.

They gave the audience what any

man would have given on that

night, which is the best show of

the year.

>> Shoulders down,

She did it.

Becky Lynch is RAW and SmackDown

Women's Champion.

>> That's such a benchmark for

females in professional

wrestling.

That moment will always exists

in history.

>> Huge, huge milestone.

[crowd chanting Becky]

>> The

year 2020, she had a baby,

started a family, came right

back to the pinnacle of her

sport.

So that's pretty badass.

>> She's a badass and she's a

badass mom.

>> Being a mom is badass, being

a mom and being in the WWE ring

at the same time is pretty

incredible.

>> What she's done after giving

birth and coming back and

totally reinventing herself- >>

Thank you biceps.

>> -is one of the wildest things

I've ever seen.

>> You know I left for a year

and a half, came back, won this

bad boy in 26 seconds and I'll

be killing the game ever since.

>> Who else you know that can do

that?

>> Come to think of it, no, I

don't know anyone else that can

do that.

Pretty badass if you asked me.

My nose hurts just thinking

about it.

>> When it comes to extreme,

while Becky deserves major

props, I don't know if there is

anyone more befitting of that

word than this next superstar.

Na, na, na, na.

Its Lita, it's going to be Lita.

[music]

>> Ladies and gentlemen,

the greatest women's champion

of all time, Lita.

>> The way she carried herself,

she was just cool in the most

badass way.

>> Lita is fearless.

>> I saw what she was doing with

Essa Rios, I was like, "That is

amazing."

>> Avenger, what the world?

Oh, my.

>> Wow.

>> She was not the stereotypical

girl, she had an edge, a

grittiness to her.

>> Dueling moonsaults.

>> She'd do whatever it took

just like one of us.

She was one of us, what I'm I

saying?

>> Amazing, she'll do anything.

>> Lita is a badass.

One thing I could tell is that

she was trained in Mexico so I

loved always the Lucha that

she'd bring into wrestling

matches.

>> Lita on top, Lita-

curanna

Lita was the first eyecatcher as

far as the female wrestler.

>> Look at Lita go whoa.

>> Wow, it's all gone.

>> The moonsaults, the moves

that she would do that had not

been done by females before

Lita.

>> Look out.

>> The way that she presented

herself was so different and you

knew that it was authentic.

>> Her red hair, her fiery

energy.

>> These baggy pants and she

wore sneakers.

She had tattoos, she was

something different.

>> She was this cool, edgy

tomboy that was unapologetically

her and it was just so relatable

at the time.

>> I am the most dominant woman

that the industry has ever seen.

>> As beautiful as Lita was, she

showed up with a look that told

fans, "Yes, she's ready to fight

at a moments notice."

>> In 2004 Lita's drive and

passion would carry her all the

way to the first women's main

event in Monday Night Raw

history.

>> We have been waiting a long

time for this opportunity and

its all about the title but I

think its about a whole lot

more.

>> When Trish and I main evented

Raw, I think that we were so

happy to be able to finally be

given the opportunity knowing

that we could rise to the

occasion.

>> Again, oh, my God.

>> That was huge at the time.

>> I've never seen anything like

this JR. >> To see them main

event in a singles match no

less, is historic.

>> Oh, my God, the moonsault.

[one, two, three count] [bell

rings] >> Three, my God Lita did

it, Lita did it King.

>> Not only did they work their

asses off to get that

opportunity but they knocked it

out of the park, they main

evented at a time where that's

crazy to think about.

>> I can't believe the effort,

the heart both women displayed.

>> To this day not only do we

still see Lita but we still see

Lita's influence.

>> She was actually one of the

people that inspired me to

become a WWE Superstar.

>> WWE Hall of Famer take

four-time Women's Champion.

>> I grew up idolizing her and

that's something I hope to give

to little girls that watch me.

>> That's what you call a

revolutionary character.

She definitely revolutionized

the women's division.

>>[indistinct 00:12:27] was

certainly a force to be reckoned

with, and one of the poster

women of the Attitude Era.

Today's WWE the game has changed

and the Women's Division has

ascended to even greater heights

led in large part by one of the

most insane athletes in WWE

history the EST herself.

Bianca BelAir.

>> Here comes the EST of WWE

Bianca BelAir

>> A badass woman

is a woman that she is confident

within herself.

>> We are not dealing with a

normal human being.

We are talking about The EST.

>> I do consider myself a badass

woman.

I call myself EST of WWE from

the strongest, the toughest,

roughest, the quickest, the

greatest, the best.

>> Everything you could

potentially want in a superstar

and more.

>> This is just a display of

dominance.

>> EST fits Biance Beliar

because

she backs it up.

The way she stands out that EST,

and can outdo people and

represent himself as a champion.

That's why she gets to add that

EST because she is that much

more than so many others.

>> EST.

EST.

EST.

>> She is one of the strongest

women that I've ever met

personally and that I've ever

been in the ring with.

>>Nowhere to go but down.

Unbelievable power by Belair.

How impressive is the EST?

>> She's Jack, She's fast.

She's smooth.

>>Otis weighs 330 pounds and

Bianca Belair with ease.

>> 450 plus.

>> Her level of athleticism like

no other.

>> Marching to the center of the

ring.

>> Incoming.

>> Bianca's unparalleled

athleticism would lead her to

victory at the 2021 Royal

Rumble, catapulting her into the

main event of WrestleMania.

>> The following contest for the

SmackDown Women's Champion.

Walking up the stairs, that is

incredible.

Look at the power of The EST.

>> Oh, my God.

>> No way.

The EST stepped under the

grandest stage of them all and

fulfilled her promise to her

fans.

The dream has become reality.

This is the Bianca Blair era.

>> Blair is owning the moment.

>> The future is so bright for

Bianca Blair.

>> It's very easy to put her on

a short list of bad ass

superstars period.

>> You can't outdo me and can

nobody whoop me because I'm the

EST of WWE.

>> Bianca Blair pure athleticism

definitely puts her right up

there with the baddest WWE

superstars of all time.

See what I did there?

Yes.

That doesn't matter.

Anyway, let's move on and talk

about what makes for a

sensational badass.

Whether it was tearing through

competition in the ring or

managing superstars to

championship glory.

This next legend redefined the

role of women in the WWE.

>> They don't call me the

sensational Sherry for nothing

and in a moment, I'm going to

show you exactly how sensational

I am.

>> Terry Martel a very beautiful

lady for anything but nice.

>> Sensational Sherry is my

favorite.

>> You're looking at a woman

that it doesn't mean.

>> She had that voice that just

made you believe.

>> [indistinct] we

can't wait.

>> She's the other side of me.

>> She tried to be completely

different than all of the other

women.

>> Her outfits, her makeup, even

her hair.

>> It was like she was reaching

through the lens and you could

feel what she was feeling.

>> Sherry you truly.

>> Sherry's unique wasn't the

only thing that jumped off the

page.

She was also in an accomplished

in ring competitor and one

monumental victory in the summer

of 1987, cemented her legacy.

>> Oh, look at that Sherry hook

that takes her owner.

It's unreal history been made

here.

>> I allow me, myself and I beat

the fabulous Moolah.

I pined her one two three.

>> I think Sherry was one of the

greatest women wrestlers of all

time.

>> I am number one and I'm going

to stay number one.

There's not a woman around that

can beat me.

>> Even in an era when she

didn't have all that many

matches on WWE television, she

was still involved all the time.

>> Welcome once again to

wrestlers.

>> I got the chance to work with

her on spotlight, she beat the

Tara.

What's up, she flipped me in a

chair, she was supposed to lead

me back, just flip the back like

on my head.

>> She could do literally

anything in the world of sports

entertainment.

She was a fantastic manager.

>> Sensational Sherry, who

indeed from the outside has been

known to interject herself into

the matchup.

>> I just was so scared of her

even see the TV said I was

intimidated.

>> I've got to rip your heart

out right in front of you.

>> I was a manager when I first

got to WWE and Sherry was

someone

that I watched all the time.

>> Why don't you do something

besides being an idiot.

>> She inspired me to bring that

fiery energy.

>> You make me sick.

>> And she was fearless,

absolutely fearless.

She would do anything, she was

afraid of nothing.

[applause] >> She's on top of

the world.

>> Man, she was just like no

other legend, legend status.

>> In 2006, Sensational Sherry

was inducted into the WWE Hall

of Fame.

>> That is nice girls stops

here.

[applause] >> And for sure still

proved that she had plenty of

sass left in her.

>> And I found something in the

red shut up.

This is my time, I worked 26

years, so you paid for tickets,

be quiet.

[applause] >> Wow.

>> How can you not love the

sass, Sensational Sherry just

brought it every single time and

was one of the most influential

women in sports entertainment

history, paving the way for all

female performers to come.

Now, another trailblazer was

none other than-- you guessed it

a Alundra Blayze, aka Medusa,

who was not only way ahead of

her time, but more of a badass

than most men on the roster.

>> That just keeps getting

hotter and hotter, yes, indeed.

It's a place fisher.

>> Talk about trendsetters.

Alundra Blayze stepped into a

WWE and put the whole thing on

her shoulders, showing everybody

how much women had to offer the

world of sports entertainment.

>> Another member of Polly's

Dangerously Dangerous Alliance.

>> Everything about her just

says she's a badass, the way she

carries herself, the way she

wrestles in the ring.

>> I am the best ladies champion

ever because when you see the

blaze, you're going to feel the

heat.

>> She came in on motorcycles,

she still drives monster trucks.

>> Ladies and gentlemen

>> She's

definitely someone who I just

want to be like, she's super

badass.

>> One of the greatest WWE

women's champions of all time.

>> You got to talk about Alundra

Blayze.

>> Who was so ahead of her time

she had a huge impact for the

brief time that she was in WWE.

>> In 1995 a luxury blaze left

WWE for a rival WCW and would

shock the industry in one of the

most iconic moments of the

Monday night war.

>> All right.

I am Madusa always have been

Madusa and always will be

Madusa.

This is the WWE woman's

championship belt.

>> The title is not only

appearing on the competitor's

television show.

It's being disgraced.

It wasn't for show it wasn't a

put on.

>> That's what I think of the

WWE woman's championship belt.

>> It was just a clear view.

The symbolism of Alundra taking

a competitor's belt in dropping

into trash can as they say that

you couldn't put the toothpaste

back in the tube the belt was

dropped in the bucket and that

was that.

>> Welcome back and never left.

>> Man she had her own style

Madusa was so bad that she could

get in there back then with any

guy and hold her.

>> Madusa she's got to be the

new cruise away traffic of the

world.

>> In 2015 a luxury blaze would

take her rightful place in the

WWE Hall Of Fame.

>> I worked my off and perfected

my craft and take great pride in

my work.

>> Oh, is this what you all been

waiting for?

>> The title's finally home

where it belongs.

>> That's an original badass

woman right there.

She was a trailblazer no pun

intended.

>> I am the first lady on

professional Wrestling.

>> She was setting a template

for the next generation of

women.

>> WWE Hall of Famer Alundra

Blayze.

>> She was tough as nails.

She was all woman But she still

carried herself in a way that

even if she didn't tell you she

could kick your ass, you knew

>> Oh, I believe it easy.

I believe it and since this

whole show is clearly about WWE

women who can kick my ass, then

we be remiss not to include the

queen born with bad assery in

her blood.

She sits a top the throne of

fearlessness and wants everyone

to know it.

>> I have been on top since 2015

and no other woman can say that.

>> Since day one I told you that

this was my destiny.

>> That's a lot of consistency

and I think that's what

separates me from my peers.

>> There can only be one queen.

>> Quintessential superstar.

>> Yes, heights.

>> size, speed, athletic

ability.

She is the total package.

>> She is the gold medalist of

this industry.

>> She's one of the most

decorated women's athletes in

the world.

>> Charlotte is the three-time--

is a seventh-time- >> The

11-time.

>> 13-time world champion.

>> Charlotte Flair is wrestling

royalty but the crown comes from

far more than her last name.

>> Charlotte Flair has

definitely become the coldest

player in the game because she's

learned to take advantage of

every single opportunity.

>> Talking about raw power,

athleticism, agility, strength.

>> To be in the ring with her,

it's unlike anything else.

>> Here comes the queen.

>> Charlotte brings to the table

a different level of

athleticism.

>> A figure eight

cinched in

>> She's hyper flexible.

>> A tap out by Morgan.

>> Doing all these gymnastics

moves off the top buckle.

>> Looking for the Holy Grail.

>> She's high flying, she's hard

hitting.

>> One of the best female

performers of all time.

>> She carries herself with such

presence.

She's great on the mic.

>> When Charlotte Flair wins a

title, it's just another Friday.

>> When you think of the

greatest superstars of all time,

you think of Charlotte Flair.

>> I am the face of this whole

company.

>> It was really cool when

Charlotte became the first

women's champion.

It was a very special moment and

one that will never be

duplicated.

>> You got a chance to make some

serious history tonight.

>> This is for the WWE Women's

Championship.

>> When I won the Inaugural Raw

Women's Championship, it was

just such a powerful statement.

>> Moonsault by Charlotte.

>> We were looking at legitimate

female athletes that could steal

the show.

>> Figure eight.

What's Becky going to do?

What's Becky going to do?

Becky tapped out.

Charlotte is now the women's

champion.

>> We weren't Divas anymore.

We were WWE Superstars.

The fact that they changed the

title to be a women's title and

Charlotte was the first to hold

that I found was very fitting.

>> A ground-breaking moment for

Charlotte.

>> As the face of the Women's

Revolution, the queen kept

blazing the trail, becoming the

first woman to wrestle in a Hell

In A Cell match.

>> Charlotte, a trailblazer in

every sense of the word.

>> Main event Raw, Smackdown and

a pay-per-view.

>> Through the table.

>> Eventually- >> The main event

of WrestleMania.

>> Oh, the double spear.

>> You want to talk about

someone leading the Women's

Revolution, you're looking at

Charlotte.

>> Everyone always wants to know

what's the magic formula to make

it in sport's entertainment.

Live it, breathe it, dream it,

every second, every minute,

every hour, every day.

If you do it with a certain

Flair, you're a superstar.

>> All hail the queen,

all hail the queen.

From a queen to a glamazon, this

next WWE superstar is a hall of

Famer and physical freak of

nature.

When I say freak, I mean it in

the most flattering way

possible.

Please, Beth, don't hurt me.

Beth, please, I'm sorry.

>> The over diva, unlike

anything the world has ever seen

before.

The ultimate combination of

strength.

>> Wow, she is powerful.

>> Confidence.

>> Look at Beth Phoenix.

Wow.

>> Class and beauty.

>> I think her dad went to

heaven.

>> I am the glamazon.

I will break every bone in your

body.

>> Whoa.

One of the most powerful women

to ever compete in a WWE ring.

>> Beth Phoenix.

>> Beth Phoenix is a pure icon.

>> I am a huge fan of Beth

Phoenix.

>> Beth Phoenix is so dope.

She's so dope.

>> Dominating, devastating,

dangerous diva.

Look at the strength of Beth

Phoenix the glamazon.

>> I love Beth Phoenix.

Beth Phoenix was one of the

first women that I saw and I

connected with.

She didn't look like all the

other women on the roster.

She had muscle, she had folk,

and I loved that because I was

the same.

I needed someone to look up to

when I was growing up, and

luckily for me, I had someone in

the business like Beth Phoenix.

>> We can be strong.

We can work so we can have

muscle.

It's empowering.

>> Oh.

>> Beth Phoenix with all arms on

her shoulders.

>> She broke the cycle as far as

what women were supposed to look

like and supposed to act like

and supposed to do.

Beth Phoenix helped that whole

idea that it's normal and that

it's okay and that it's badass.

>> Beth Phoenix has proven her

strength and commitment time and

time again.

But at the 2010 Royal Rumble, no

one expected her to do the

impossible.

>> The glamazon, just the second

woman in Rumble history.

>> What the hell?

Wait.

>> Wait, what is doing?

Beth Phoenix has eliminated the

great Khali

>> The men's war Rumble was so

special.

It's my favorite career moment.

>> Women are here and we're not

going anywhere.

We're going to show you that

regardless if it has to be us

showing up in the ring with

other women or showing up in the

ring with other men.

>> Beth Phoenix absolutely

proved that anything men can do,

women can do too.

She was in matches against some

of the top guys, did moves to

them, she was physical with

them.

>> No, no, no.

>> When you look at what she did

at the Royal Rumble, Beth and

Edge taking on the Miz and

Morris.

>> What?

>> And Beth, she looks

incredible.

Beth >> Beth can still go.

>> Best Phoenix is my queen

always, when she picked me up

over her shoulders, that photo,

there'll be nothing better in

life for me.

>> I am not like any other WWE

diva.

>> It was kind of cool in that

rumble 2020, you see, she got

smashed in the face and she's

Beth Phoenix, so of course, it

just looks like war paint and

makes it look that much more

badass and tough.

>> That's Phoenix is such an

inspiring story.

She was someone who was changing

the game as it was happening,

that Phoenix is someone who is

an icon in the business.

>> I want the women to be

superheroes, I want the girls on

TV to be representative of you

can do anything and to know that

I was even the smallest part of

any of that, it makes it all

worth it.

>> If you ever feel like a

square peg trying to fit into a

round hole, if you ever feel

like you don't fit the mold,

that is because you weren't

meant to, you were meant for

greater things.

>> To this day, Beth Phoenix is

considered one of the greatest

female performers in WWE history

and we should note she in so

many other superstars have gone

on to have children and then

still come back to dominate in

the ring.

Now that is awesome, so shout

out to all the moms out there.

You won't be able to love you?

My wife over there.

Now one of these MFs, I mean

mother fighters might actually

be the most feared and respected

of them all.

>> Ronda is the most badass

women on the planet.

>> Look in the eyes of Ronda

Rousey, absolute intensity.

>> She wants to be seen and

known as the best, she's a

killer.

>> It's time to get rowdy.

>> The feeling of the Ronda,

it's scary.

>> The baddest woman on the

planet.

Oh my god.

>> She brings a different game

to what we do, it always makes

her unpredictable.

She can decimate you in three

seconds.

>> Oh, no, Ronda Rousey.

>> You cannot talk about badass

women without including Ronda

Rousey, she literally changed

the game.

>> The first woman in history to

win a UFC championship and a WWE

title.

>> When she came to WWE, she was

already highly decorated Olympic

athlete, UFC champion, UFC Hall

of Famer but with all those

accolades, it brings more

credibility instantly to the

women's division.

>> Her first ever match at

WrestleMania, it looks like she

had been doing this for years.

>> Oh, no.

>> Stephanie taps.

>> In her first year as a WWE

superstar Ronda Rousey showed

why she's the baddest woman on

the planet.

First winning the raw Women's

Championship >> And now it's

locked in [indistinct]

>> Alexa Bliss has to

tap out, Ronda Rousey the raw

Women's Champion.

>> Then making WrestleMania

history is part of the first

ever women's main event.

>> The main event of

WrestleMania.

>> Look at how driven the

baddest woman on the planet is.

Cole, I talk for a living and I

am speechless right now.

>> Rhonda took some time off to

focus on her family and I think

she came back like some crazy

amount of short months after she

had her child which is so

impressive to me.

>> Who shall enter the fray

next?

>> Are you kidding me?

Ronda Rousey is in the Royal

Rumble.

>> I guess someone of her

caliber would want to be a part

of what we had created, open

opportunity and competition and

that's what you want.

>> Who we'll take their place at

WrestleMania, a little too

aggressive Ronda Rousey

underneath the rope and

she's been eliminated.

>> The baddest woman on the

planet shocked the world once

again.

>> The thing that makes Rhonda

badass, she never took no for an

answer.

>> Oh , what a nail.

>> Rhonda showed the world it's

kind of pretty cool to watch

women kick ass, so why don't we

let them?

>> Oh, Rousey doing what she

does best.

Rousey looking for a

an arm bar, Shaw

has to quit, Rousey is the

champion.

Rousey wins the title?

>> A defining athlete of this

century.

>> Being at the top of a sport

in which she had to learn to

transition into, that's not an

easy thing to do but for

somebody like Ronda Rousey,

nothing in her life has ever

been easy, she's a badass woman.

>> Look, anyone who enters the

Joan jets bad reputation is

pretty awesome and then when you

factor in that Rhonda can legit

break any limb on most humans

bodies at a moment's notice,

case close but we all know that

WWE is a worldwide global brand

and the best of the best from

all over the planet are vying to

be number one.

Which brings us to our next

badass, one of the most

dangerous competitors in WWE

history, the Empress of tomorrow

Asuka.

>> From Osaka, Japan.

>> The Empress of Tomorrow.

>> Asuka.

[Asuka music playing]

>> Asuka

is quite possibly my favorite

superstar of all time.

She's a force to be reckoned

with in the women's division.

>> As colorful as she is

threatening.

>> When she gets going in the

ring, man, she's unstoppable.

>> When you're standing there

before the ding, ding ding with

Asuka, you're like, "I'm about

to get to a fight."

>> You can see it in her eyes

she is ready for battle.

>> There's just a lot that

you're not expecting.

>> Lights out.

>> You don't even have to

understand what she's saying but

you are threatened.

>> I remember watching her

thinking this woman is scary.

>> Asuka is like no one you've

seen before.

>> I look at Asuka and I'm in

awe.

This woman not only came from

another country, she made it in

the WWE and she can do it all.

>> It is done.

The Empress ground here in

Dallas who can beat Asuka?

This woman has not been pinned

she has not been submitted it is

the longest such strength in the

history of WWE male or female

superstars.

>> Asuka's dominance was quickly

becoming stuff of legend.

There would be no greater

challenge for the Empress of

tomorrow than the historic 2018

Royal Rumble.

[Asuka music playing] >> For the

first time ever, 30 women will

compete in a Royal Rumble match.

>> High Stakes high pressure.

>> Asuka is going to

Wrestlemania.

[bell rings] >> To watch her win

the first-ever Women's Royal

Rumble I just feel like it

couldn't have been any more

special moment.

>> Asuka is a history maker.

>> That was not the Empress of

tomorrow that was the Empress of

right down then.

>> The view went back 510 years

in time and said the women are

going to have a Rumble match

that headlines the show.

The last parting image is going

to be a Japanese performer that

speaks limited English and going

on to be a main event player it

would have been unthinkable.

>> Although the undefeated

streak ended at an impressive

914 days, Asuka continues to

redefine WWE with her

unpredictable nature.

>> Miss Money in the Bank.

>> You're the champion.

>> I'm the champion.

>> You're the champion.

>> Yes, I'm the champion.

>> An icon in our own time.

> She has this amazing style and

strength and she's pretty badass

to both.

>> No one is ready for Asuka.

>> Hell, no.

Nobody is ready for Asuka.

So far, everyone we've mentioned

in the show is deserving of

their badass distinction.

Our next superstar is so fierce,

she had the honor of following

Andre the Giant, appropriately

named the eighth wonder of the

world and she was billed as the

ninth wonder of the world.

Those are some big shoes to

fill.

>> The ninth wonder of the

world.

>> The ninth wonder of the world

could not be a better fitting

moniker for Chyna.

>> Beautiful, strong-

>> Posing.

>> Confident, powerful- >> An

Amazon badass women.

>> This is no ordinary woman, I

can tell you that.

>> Chyna exemplified badassery

beyond a shadow of a doubt.

>> Who the hell is that?

>> When Chyna first entered the

WWE, she did so as the bodyguard

for Triple H.

>> Look at this.

Look at Chyna, she's not afraid

of anybody.

>> Which could have been treated

like a joke, a woman bodyguard

but in reality, all of us

watching were like, "Yes.

I don't want to mess with

Chyna."

>> Bodyguard was one word to

describe Chyna, but she would

make history in WWE with more.

>> As a matter of fact, I got

two words for you, suck it.

>> She became part of DX.

>> Chyna is the backbone of DX.

>> The toughest woman in the

entire world.

>> As a member of the Generation

X, Chyna's popularity soared and

so too did her ambitions.

>> All due respect, Chyna's just

a girl.

This is serious business, no

place for a woman.

>> Try me Triple H.

>> Any of the first, start with

Chyna and people don't realize

the path that she's paved for

us.

>> It's every man for himself.

>> And woman.

>> The first woman ever to enter

the Royal Rumble match.

There goes Mark Henry.

>> Growing up, you feel like

you're put in a box as a woman.

You're not as athletic as the

men.

You're not as tough as the men.

Here, we had this wonder of a

woman prove that none of that is

true.

>> The first woman to ever

qualify in the King of the Ring

tournaments.

>> Number one contender, Chyna.

>> People bought her.

They bought into her being able

to do that.

>> You never thought that a

woman can be an uneven playing

field, did you?

What was always even for me, JR?

>> Chyna showed >> Oh, women

don't just stand a chance.

They can physically handle

themselves as well.

>> You two to our one bad Mama

Jama.

>> What in the, what the hell?

She says she's the most

dangerous woman in the world.

>> For Chyna to be the first

ever female Intercontinental

Champion, you didn't see that

then you don't see that now

even.

>> Look out Jeff.

>> Oh man, torn with a guitar.

[crowd counts] >> One, two,

three.

[bell rings] >> The first woman

to become Intercontinental

Champion.

>> That night in Cleveland,

history was truly made.

>> I've worked my way to the top

of a completely male dominated

business.

>> Chyna was a massive

inspiration.

She tapped into her femininity,

and we saw her layers develop

over her career.

>> I really couldn't resist the

Latino heat.

>> I didn't really watch

wrestling growing up a whole

lot, but with that being said, I

knew who Chyna was.

>> It takes balls to be like

that and to really own that

stage and own that spotlight,

and she did just that.

>> The balls are in my court and

I just might rip them off and

step on them.

>> Only in the WWE.

I am just in awe of these badass

women, bosses in and out of the

ring, all of them shattering

expectations, carving out new

paths and inspiring generations

of women.

Let me tell you as a lifelong

WWE fan, I'm here for but most

importantly, I can't wait to see

what comes next.

I'm Kinda Funny's Greg Miller,

and let me tell you, this has

been awesome.

>> On the next, This Is Awesome,

the most awesome finishing moves

in WWE history.

From the most iconic impacts-

>> He got it, the stunner.

>> -to the most sudden shocking

strikes.

A superstar-

>> skull crushing finale.

>> -has defined careers,

creating unforgettable moments

and left us with our jaws

dropped.

Join us and get ready to--

>> Rest in peace.
