[intro music playing]
[John Cena] Then.
[Ric Flair] Woooo!
-[glass shattering] -[The Rock] If you smell…
-[bell tolling] -[Cena] Now.
-[Triple H] The king of kings… -[Cena] You can't see me…
[Cena] Forever.
Together.
[presenter] Life.
-[eagle screeching] -Liberty.
The pursuit of happiness.
We hold these truths to be self-evident…
Yeah!
to party.
[instrumental rock music]
Tonight, we celebrate the Fourth of July
like only WWE can.
So, get ready for the "Big Time…"
[Corey] "Big Time" Becks!
[presenter] …grab your best Bro…
[Matt Riddle] Bro.
[presenter] …and prepare to "Liv" for the moment.
[Corey] Morgan's gonna cash in!
You Only Liv Once!
[presenter] Tonight, we burn it down.
[laughing maniacally]
[presenter] Tonight, we break the bank.
[Theory] You guys love me, I get it.
[presenter] Tonight, you don't wanna "Miz"
the "EST" of holidays,
the Fourth of July edition of Monday Night RAW!
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] The WWE Universe is still buzzing in the wake of a landscape-altering
Money in the Bank premium live event.
But tonight, we adjust our sails towards SummerSlam on the horizon.
And if you're looking for fireworks, you are in the right place.
Live from San Diego,
welcome to Monday Night RAW!
Happy Fourth of July, everybody!
Jimmy Smith's on vacation. I am still Corey Graves.
He is still Byron Saxton.
But steering this ship for us tonight,
none other than our very own Kevin Patrick.
KP, welcome to RAW!
Gentlemen, absolutely delighted to be here next to you guys in this special chair
on this wonderful day that is America's birthday.
You're supposed to celebrate throughout the country,
but we know one Superstar who hasn't been doing much celebrating of late,
and that is "Big Time" Becky Lynch.
Asuka has been a thorn in her side,
but Becks gets what she wants tonight,
one-on-one with Asuka, No Holds Barred!
[Saxton] Well, it was last week that,
well, both Finn Bálor and Damian Priest delivered a cryptic olive branch
to Dominik Mysterio. Also questioned the parenting skills of Rey Mysterio.
Well, that was enough to fire up The Mysterios,
who will, tonight, have the hometown advantage
right here in San Diego,
as they take on The Judgment Day!
[Corey] And this past weekend,
Liv Morgan pulled off a remarkable career-altering feat
to become Ms. Money in the Bank.
But Liv didn't stop there.
She successfully cashed in the contract later that night
on none other than Ronda Rousey.
The new SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan, is here tonight!
[Kevin Patrick] And ladies and gentlemen, the new United States Champion
is also here on Monday Night RAW.
And for the first time ever,
Bobby Lashley will be teaming up with The Street Profits
to take on the man that he defeated in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Theory.
He'll be teaming up with the Alpha Academy.
[Corey] The United States Champion, Mr. Money in the Bank!
This is a colossal 6-Man Tag Team Match tonight.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the new United States Champion,
The All Mighty,
Bobby Lashley!
-[Bobby Lashley's theme song playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Corey] WWE Universe,
behold The All Mighty!
[Saxton] I'll do you one better.
WWE Universe,
behold the new United States Champion!
[Kevin Patrick] I had a chance to catch up with Bobby Lashley,
the new United States Champion, earlier on today.
He was smiling ear to ear.
He's delighted to be here on the Fourth of July
as the United States Champion.
And especially, gentlemen, with his US Military background,
he said this is an absolute honor.
[Saxton] No doubt about it. A title that Lashley wears proudly.
But let's be honest, Lashley was pushed across the finish line
by the WWE Universe.
Lashley was rallied by the live crowd in Las Vegas,
and that may have been the deciding factor as to how Lashley became champion.
[Corey] It was an electric atmosphere in Las Vegas.
[Saxton] Listen.
[crowd chanting] Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
[chanting continues]
You know, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.
[crowd cheering]
And it couldn't be a more fitting night than tonight
to say this,
welcome to Monday Night RAW!
[crowd cheering]
You know…
[crowd chanting] Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
You know, America's Independence Day holds a special place in all of our hearts.
[crowd cheering]
[chuckles]
[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA!
And I couldn't be more proud to be standing in front of
the WWE Universe
as the new United States Champion!
[crowd cheering]
But let's not get this twisted.
It's not the title that makes the man,
it's the man that makes the title.
[crowd cheering]
And I say that to say this,
and I want everybody to really pay attention to this,
there is not another man
in any division
or any promotion,
that can beat me
for this United States Championship.
[crowd cheering]
♪ A-Town ♪
♪ Down ♪
[Corey] And should we be surprised?
Look who has chosen, once again, to interrupt The All Mighty.
[Saxton] It's Mr. Money in the Bank!
How can you not be excited?
Theory can do whatever he wants.
[Theory] Bobby,
why do you get to kick off Monday Night RAW?
[crowd booing]
Everybody's been on the edge of their seat since Saturday,
just waiting to hear from Mr. Headline himself.
me!
[crowd booing]
And sure, Bobby,
Bobby, you got your victory,
but the world is talking about
the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank
in WWE history!
[crowd booing]
And I had the odds stacked against me, for sure.
I mean, it was hard work for me at Money in the Bank, Bobby.
I was in there with--
[crowd chanting] You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck!
[Corey] Absolutely no respect.
[chanting continues]
[Lashley] They're talking to you.
Shut up, Bobby.
I had the odds stacked against me.
I was in there with seasoned veterans.
I was in there with former Mr. Money in the Bank winners,
but I made it happen.
And look, Bobby, I gotta admit,
I gotta admit,
you did have me in the first half.
But…
just like Michael Jordan,
just like Tom Brady,
hell, both of them combined,
I shine brighter than I ever did in the clutch!
And I climbed to the top of that ladder,
and I grabbed this Money in the Bank briefcase,
and I proved to the world that I can do this all day!
[crowd booing]
[inaudible]
You know, Theory, I thought that you were…
It's funny because I thought that you were actively trying
to become an arrogant jackass.
But I was wrong, because this is just second nature to you.
And did you ever think that somebody gifted you an opportunity
that you didn't deserve
to get into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match?
Because I shattered your little fragile ego
into a million pieces?
[crowd cheering]
But if you wanna take another trip to the Hurt Lock,
-baby, I can give it to you-- -Whoa! Hold on, Bobby, hold on.
Tonight, you're gonna get to attempt, and fail,
in our 6-Man Tag that we're gonna have.
But, Bobby…
I see you.
You see me.
And I'm just making it happen.
I'm always making it happen, Bobby.
But the way I see it,
is I'm going straight to the top with this, Bobby.
I'm going, oh, so straight to the top.
And you know what?
I was actually informed today
that, at SummerSlam,
I'm gonna get a rematch,
and I'm gonna get to take back my United States Championship!
-[crowd booing] -[Kevin Patrick] Oh.
Oh, boo all you want. That's just the start
of my SummerSlam plans,
because, you see,
Brock Lesnar is gonna take on Roman Reigns
for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
One last time. One last match.
Last Man Standing.
And they'll beat the hell out of each other
from one side of the stadium to the other.
But whoever is the last man standing
is going A-Town down!
[crowd booing]
And at only 24 years old,
I'm gonna cash in my Money in the Bank contract,
and I'm gonna walk out of Nashville
as the unified, undisputed, unquestionable, unrivaled,
greatest champion in WWE history!
-Me! -[crowd booing]
You forgot the "If" part of your whole plan. The "If" part of…
The "If" you make it to SummerSlam.
Because, just like you said, it is Independence Day,
and these people deserve some fireworks!
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Uh-oh.
[all exclaiming]
[Kevin Patrick] Brilliant strategy by Mr. Money in the Bank!
[Saxton] Cheap shot by Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Corey] Theory caught Lashley off guard and is now wearing The All Mighty down
with a Halliburton briefcase!
[Saxton] Theory doing what he can to give himself an edge
before that 6-Man Tag later on tonight.
[Kevin Patrick] It's a smart strategy.
[crowd booing]
[Corey] Mr. Money in the Bank about to--
[Kevin Patrick] Uh-oh. Lashley has it now.
Bobby Lashley responded!
[Saxton] Change of plans by The All Mighty!
Whoa!
[Kevin Patrick] Lifting Theory with ease, hammering him to the canvas.
[Corey] Theory nearly put through the ring
by the United States Champion.
[Saxton] That's a clear message. "Theory, don't worry about SummerSlam,
worry about 'The All Mighty' Bobby Lashley."
[Corey] Let's not gloss over the announcement, over the facts
that we just learned.
Theory will now have another opportunity at the biggest party of the summer
to take back his United States Championship
from "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.
That is gonna be huge!
That's exactly it. Confirmation coming your way.
At SummerSlam, July 30th, in four weeks,
it's a rematch for the United States Championship,
where Bobby Lashley will be defending against Mr. Money in the Bank, Theory.
-[Bobby Lashley's theme song playing] -[crowd chanting] Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
[crowd cheering]
Gentlemen, do you have a response to the inflammatory comments
made last week by Finn Bálor?
Hey, hey, I got this.
What Finn said last week was not only disgraceful,
but it was very disrespectful.
And to be honest, there's no one in this business
that I would rather learn from
than mi jefe.
And I'm not one to brag,
but Dominik and I were the first father and son duo
to become WWE Tag Team Champions.
I must be doing something right.
As far as tonight goes,
Megan, you know, it's been ten years
since I've been here in my hometown, San Diego?
[crowd cheering]
This is Dominik's first match ever here in San Diego.
-[crowd cheering] -That's right.
Just because it's our house,
Nuestra casa, nuestra raza.
We're gonna teach The Judgment Day
how to respect a los Mysterios
-in the 619! -[crowd chanting] 6-1-9!
[Saxton exclaims] Wait for this ovation.
[Kevin Patrick] The Mysterios are home in San Diego!
[The Mysterios' theme song playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] It is deafening in here!
What an ovation for the hometown heroes,
San Diego's own Rey and Dominik Mysterio!
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following contest is a Tag Team Match
scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first,
from San Diego, California,
Dominik and Rey Mysterio!
[Saxton] Just imagine the goosebumps that Rey and Dominik Mysterio
are feeling right now.
[Corey] You can see the emotion on the face of Dominik
experiencing this for the first time.
The smile will not be long for this world.
[The Judgment Day theme song playing]
-[all exclaiming] -[Corey] Hang on a second!
[Saxton] From behind, Bálor and Priest,
The Judgment Day,
looking for an early advantage on The Mysterios.
[Corey] Completely blindsiding Rey and Dominik Mysterio,
did Bálor and Priest.
[Kevin Patrick] The Judgment Day standing tall, The Mysterios in peril.
If we can get order restored, the match is next.
[Corey] Can Rey and Dom get back in this?
[Kevin Patrick] Tag Team action, The Mysterios in action
against The Judgment Day,
Finn Bálor and Damian Priest.
[exclaims]
[Corey] Rey Mysterio looking to make something happen for his son and himself.
And here comes Dominik!
[Kevin Patrick] Drop kick from Dominik.
[Corey] Dominik Mysterio making it clear before this match,
no one is going to break the bond between himself and his father.
[Kevin Patrick] Bálor saying last week it's not bad luck for Dominik
it's simply a bad father, bad guidance from Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] Check this out!
Unreal athleticism by Dominik.
And that'll send Bálor into Damian Priest,
who is now the legal competitor in this match-up.
[Corey] I've got to admit, I'm impressed thus far with Dominik Mysterio's
first outing in his hometown of San Diego.
I expected to see a few nerves, a few more emotions.
But Dominik's held his own,
until Priest knocked the teeth out of his mouth.
[Saxton] Dominik was telling me, he used to ride past this arena every single day
on the way to high school, about 15 minutes away.
So, believe me, his goosebumps are off the charts here tonight.
-[exclaims] -[Corey] Dropkick from Dominik.
[Kevin Patrick] First-ever father-son WWE Tag Team Champions.
[Corey] Priest sent to the outside.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made.
[Saxton] Mysterio looking to strike from the apron!
[Corey] Seated senton flattens Damian Priest.
[Kevin Patrick] The WWE Universe in San Diego,
their hometown, loving what they're seeing from Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] Rey and Dominik both rocking the classic Padres colors,
repping the 619.
A pair of boots for Finn Bálor.
[all exclaiming]
-[Kevin Patrick] Oh, caught mid-air. -[Corey] Good night!
[Saxton] Nasty right hand delivered by Damian Priest.
[Kevin Patrick] Priest connecting with the legend.
Three weeks from today, Rey Mysterio will be 20 years in the WWE.
[Saxton] That completely stunted the momentum that Rey Mysterio had built,
as the tag is made to Finn Bálor.
[Corey] Obviously, The Judgment Day don't have as much time as a unit
as The Mysterios.
But Bálor and Priest have done a great job
jelling in a short period of time, becoming an effective team.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made. In comes Dominik.
[Corey] Dominik taking to the sky!
[Saxton] A crossbody.
Hard shot for Priest.
[Kevin Patrick] Dominik looking to defend the honor of his father, Rey.
[Corey] Dominik puts the brakes on!
Uh-oh.
-[Saxton] "Uh-oh" is right for Bálor. -[Corey] Got it.
[Saxton] But Dominik wants it.
[Corey] The tag was made. Priest is legal.
Dominik completely unaware!
[Kevin Patrick] Scouted by Damian Priest.
[Saxton] Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
Oh, God!
[Kevin Patrick] The Judgment Day in control now.
[Corey] This one may be as good as over.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag team action in San Diego, California,
the hometown of The Mysterios.
It's The Judgment Day of Finn Bálor and Damian Priest
in a dominant position.
But Dominik Mysterio now responding!
[Corey] Dominik, now, with a little bit of daylight,
needs to make a tag to his father, Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] It is critical right now.
Window of opportunity for Dominik. The tag made.
-[Kevin Patrick] Here comes Rey! -[Saxton] Here comes Priest!
Rey going down low on Damian Priest.
[Corey] Mysterio has made a career out of slaying giants,
trying to chop the massive Priest down to size.
Uh-oh, a precarious position for… Or maybe not!
-Oh, Rey turns it around! -[Saxton] Goodness!
[Kevin Patrick] Cover! Chance for the victory for Mysterio. Ooh!
[Corey] That almost turned out catastrophic for Rey,
who had so much momentum on his side.
Rey nearly took the brunt of the impact, but Priest is down
Rey with a chance to make something happen for himself in his hometown.
[Saxton] Rey, once again, resorting to his comfort zone.
Headed up the skies! Or maybe not.
[Kevin Patrick] Priest not letting him climb.
[exclaiming]
[Saxton] Now, Rey will resume his original plans.
First, on the top rope!
[Kevin Patrick] Rey Mysterio takes flight!
Seated senton! Cover now for the victory.
[Corey] Bálor, just in the nick of time,
keeping this one alive for the Judgment Day!
Superkick rocks the jaw of Bálor.
[Saxton] And, now, Dominik turning his attentions
towards Damian Priest. Walks into a boot.
[Kevin Patrick] Corey, how impressed are you with Dominik Mysterio in this match?
[Corey] Oh, my God! Almost as impressed as I have been with Rey!
[laughs]
Cover! For the victory!
-[Kevin Patrick] Priest is still alive! -[Saxton] I thought that was it.
[Corey] Dominik has done an incredible job of keeping his emotions in check,
competing in his hometown for the first time ever!
But it helps when your father is the greatest luchador of all time,
and can pull off maneuvers like that,
which very nearly ended the night for The Judgment Day.
[Saxton] This may be the beginning of the end of the night for--
Oh, no! Oh, no!
[Kevin Patrick] Damian Priest had him scouted.
[Corey] Oh, my goodness!
[Saxton] Rey was looking for the 619. Damian Priest thwarting those plans.
[Corey] Exhaustion looks to be a factor for Priest at this particular juncture.
Priest, now, hoisting up Rey Mysterio on his shoulders.
Looks like some sort of tandem offense on the horizon.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made. In comes Finn Bálor.
A sadistic plan in motion, no doubt about that,
as Bálor looks for the coup de grâce.
[Saxton] Well scouted by Rey Mysterio. Let's try one more time!
[Corey] No long-distance charges tonight.
[Kevin Patrick] Now, Dominik Mysterio there to help out his dad!
It's all set up!
[Saxton] We got double the fun!
Mysterios! Double 619!
-[crowd cheering] -[Kevin Patrick] Ah!
San Diego loves it!
[Saxton] And, now, Rey
headed to the top floor.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] A little Latino heat! Oh, no!
[Kevin Patrick] Finn Bálor got the knees up!
-Bálor! -[Saxton] Oh!
[Corey] Rey escapes at the last possible millisecond!
-[Saxton] Yet another close call. -[Corey] Rey got caught up in the emotion,
in the atmosphere and energy of his hometown of San Diego.
A little homage to Eddie Guerrero.
But it allowed Bálor the extra moment--
[Saxton] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Guys, guys, guys!
Damian Priest just tossed a chair inside the ring.
[Corey] Well, it's frustration by The Judgment Day.
[Kevin Patrick] The WWE referee asking him to leave.
[Corey] Wait a second. Dominik from the outside!
[Kevin Patrick] Distracted, though.
And Finn Bálor now has a chair in his hands.
-[crowd cheering] -Oh!
[Saxton laughing] Well, wait a second.
You talked about an homage to Eddie Guerrero.
[Corey] That was a page right out of Eddie's playbook!
[announcer] Here are your winners, as a result of a disqualification,
The Mysterios!
[Saxton] I don't care how good you are, there is no replacement for experience!
[The Mysterios' theme song playing]
[Corey] Eddie paying off in the homage.
Dominik caught with a chair,
and the Latino heat being felt
here in San Diego tonight.
If you can't outmuscle 'em, out-think 'em.
[Saxton] Bálor had his hand caught in the cookie jar.
The victory tonight goes to Rey and Dominik Mysterio
in the 619!
[Corey] No doubt about it. A feel-good moment
to kick things off on Monday Night RAW for Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
No doubt about it. San Diego erupting to the savviness and experience of Rey.
We're talking a lot about The Judgment Day.
It could be a day of reckoning for The Miz very soon in WWE,
as social media megastar Logan Paul has re-signed
with the WWE.
[Logan] This is a very tough sport, and so, every day is harder than the last.
[crowd cheering]
Today's been great.
It's been on my bucket list ever since I was a kid to fly off the top rope.
[Corey] Well, the news has set the social media world--
Logan Paul and The Miz will return as the most
must-see WWE tag team in history at SummerSlam!
[Corey] I get so excited about these headlines,
I wanna read 'em all over again. I wanna relive last week
because social media and beyond has been ablaze with the news.
Logan Paul has signed a long-term contract with WWE!
[Saxton] But what I find interesting is that, upon signing his WWE contract,
Logan Paul had an interesting response
to The Miz's claims that these two are gonna reunite.
So, I just signed my WWE contract
with the support of Triple H and Steph McMahon.
This is a massive deal.
But let's get one thing straight, 'cause I don't wanna get this twisted.
I did not sign this contract
to team up with The Miz.
In fact, I want nothing to do with The Miz. That man is dead to me.
He is my enemy.
And I signed this contract so I could beat The Miz's ass
at SummerSlam.
-[crowd cheering] -Let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, The Miz!
[crowd booing]
Miz, what was your reaction to Logan Paul signing a WWE contract,
and then saying that he's coming for you?
Proud.
-Proud? -Proud.
Why is that?
I love confidence. I love wild, outlandish statements
that get headlines, that get people talking.
And that's exactly what Logan Paul does every time he is on his YouTube channel,
or his social media, or his Impaulsive podcasts.
It's how he's built his massive fan base.
However,
he surrounds himself with a bunch of yes-men and women
that feed him and tell him what he should do.
And, out there, it's very successful for him.
But here, in WWE,
it's a different animal, and it will humble you.
Trust me. I know.
I came from outside fame. Before I got here,
I was on The Real World, if we remember.
But I don't want him to make the same mistakes
that I made when I got here.
But, look, I'm a nice guy.
Logan, retract your statement,
accept my offer,
and I promise you, not only will you be a success in WWE,
but we will become WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions!
[crowd booing]
But if you don't accept my offer…
I will be relentless.
I will make you earn everything,
and you will be humbled.
Speaking of being humbled, last week,
you quit your match against AJ Styles and lost.
-You have a rematch-- -"Quit"?
I did not quit! I had two matches last week!
And if anyone's quitting or getting tapped out,
or getting pinned tonight, it's AJ Styles, 'cause I don't take lightly
to sophomoric juvenile jokes!
This all started when he claimed that you have tiny--
No!
No, Megan.
Not you.
I'm gonna go out there,
and I'm gonna show AJ Styles and the entire WWE Universe
that I have colossal, massive,
gargantuan, American, super-sized balls!
Because I'm The Miz and I'm…
awesome!
[Corey] Kev, I know you grew up in Ireland.
Do you have any idea how big American super-size is?
It's a whole different metric system!
[Kevin Patrick] I get it. I thought you were going somewhere else there
for a second.
[Corey] I think Miz should just own his tiny discos.
-[AJ Styles' theme song playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] We've got "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles,
now set to go one-on-one with the Hollywood "A-Lister" The Miz,
brought to you by Marvel Studios.
Thor: Love and Thunder in theaters everywhere this Friday!
Styles, The Miz, next on Monday Night RAW!
-[theme song continues] -[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Hey, Saxton, did you know,
and this should come as no surprise to anyone
that Logan Paul's WWE signing is the most liked photo
in WWE Instagram history?
[Saxton] A lot of people are talking about Logan Paul,
but think about how much more jealous The Miz is gonna be
over this accomplishment from Logan Paul.
[Corey] Don't project your jealousy on The Miz, Saxton.
[Saxton] I'm not jealous.
[cheering]
Yeah! [clapping]
[clears throat loudly]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Street Profits'
Fourth of July Extravaganza Bonanza Cookout!
[all cheering]
Yo, we got burgers, ribs, hot dogs, ice cold beverages,
corn on the cob and cornhole!
So, kick back, relax, and enjoy!
-This nation's 246th birthday. -[singing] Birthday!
Yeah!
So, say it with me, just like my shoulder was Saturday at Money in the Bank,
the United States of America is up…
-[together] And we-- -[shouting] Shoosh!
Please.
How typical.
How cliche. How can you two be out here partying
after you lost the match at Money in the Bank?
And Montez, why don't you spare me the excuses, okay?
Whether or not your shoulder actually was up,
you lost, fair and square.
And now look at you.
You're out here partying, just like every other American
that thinks this holiday is all about fireworks and eating hot dogs.
Pathetic!
Luckily, you've got Master Gable here to give you a little history lesson.
And I'm gonna do it in the form of this annotated version
of the Declaration of Independence.
And for this reading, I require absolute silence, please.
Thank you.
[clears throat] Now--
This truth to be self-evident that every man and woman
-has the right to shut Chad Gable up! -It doesn't say that.
[exclaiming]
Oh!
He smacked me with a glizzy! He smacked me with a glizzy!
How dare you disrespect an American hero,
"The Master" Chad Gable?
-He's an Olympian! -Yeah!
I can eat 20 of those hot dogs without breaking a sweat.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
First off, first off, first off,
you wanna talk about a real American hero,
it's my homeboy Tez right here.
He served United States Marines, fam!
And secondly,
you looking at the three-time hot dog eating champion
out of Fairfield, Ohio, baby!
[Montez] Oh!
-Three years running! -Three years!
-Three years running! -Three! Three!
-I can eat more hot dogs than that! -Yeah.
All right? I can suck 'em down like Coca Cola.
-No chew. Messier, the better, baby. -[laughing]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up, hold up! -Let's go, man!
I got an idea, guys.
Who wants to see a hot dog eating contest!
[all cheering]
No problem! No problem!
I will suck 'em all down, coach!
[indistinct conversations]
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Mysterios still riding high from their victory
earlier on RAW tonight here in--
[Kevin Patrick] Hang on a second! Hang on a second!
[grunting]
[crowd booing]
-[grunting] -[referee] Come on!
Hey, hey, hey! That's enough! That's enough!
[objects clattering]
Come on! Back it off! Back it off!
[indistinct shouting]
[groaning]
[shouting continues]
This ain't your pueblo, Rey! This ain't your pueblo!
¡Es tu rancho!
-[Mysterio groaning] -[indistinct shouting]
[referee] Get out of here!
Need some help!
[man] Let's get some help!
The Judgment Day continue to wreak havoc throughout WWE.
Now, turning our attention to tomorrow, Corey, how exciting,
-the Great American Bash is back. -Absolutely.
NXT 2.0 presents the Great American Bash
right here on USA, tomorrow night at 8:00 Eastern.
You do not want to miss it.
Keep the celebration rolling!
Something tells me that, tonight, AJ Styles is looking forward
to celebrating another opportunity to punch The Miz in the mouth.
♪ Awesome ♪
[crowd booing]
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Making his way to the ring, residing in Hollywood, California,
weighing 221 pounds,
The Miz!
[Corey] Talk about how brave The Miz is, and continues to be, here in WWE.
[Kevin Patrick] Let's take a trip back to last week
during the Last Chance Money in the Bank qualifying Battle Royal.
The Miz in action here looks to… Maybe he's torn his ACL.
There were rumors out there on social media, Corey.
[Corey] Miz scared the entire WWE Universe.
We believed that Miz was badly injured.
Meanwhile, The A-Lister was simply outsmarting all of us,
including AJ Styles.
[Saxton] It was clear The Miz feigned an injury. Later on,
The Miz had some disparaging comments for AJ Styles.
And, clearly, Styles had enough of it.
And then, later on, Styles and Miz actually had a match
and, of course, The Miz got a little overwhelmed.
It was too hot in the kitchen for him.
[Corey] Why is it okay for everyone in the WWE Universe
to disparage The Miz and his anatomy,
yet, when Miz fires back at "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles,
it's some sort of crime? Why is that okay, Byron?
[Saxton] Not our problem he's overly sensitive.
[Kevin Patrick] So, between feigning injury and walking away,
AJ Styles finally has The Miz where he wants him,
one-on-one action, brought to you by Marvel Studios' Thor: Love and Thunder
in theaters everywhere this Friday.
[Corey] I heard Miz was asked to do a cameo.
He was just too busy.
There wasn't enough room on set for all of his assets, know what I mean?
[Kevin Patrick] Straight after Monday Night RAW, the latest episode
of Miz & Mrs, following Monday Night RAW.
[Corey] You're starting to sound like The Miz now, Kevin.
-[Kevin Patrick] It's a great show. -[Corey] Have you ever seen the missus?
Would you not wanna be The Miz, Saxton?
[Saxton] Better be careful what you say when The Miz is around.
[Corey] It's completely respectful. I'm envious.
[Saxton] Better hope Carmella's not listening.
[Corey] You need to stop trying to drive wedges in my relationship, Saxton,
just 'cause you're unhappy with yourself. You sound like Twitter.
[Saxton] I love myself very much, thank you.
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, AJ Styles, savvy maneuver. Cover.
-[Corey] Boom! -[Kevin Patrick] Dropkick to the jaw
of The Miz.
[Corey] AJ Styles… Oh!
…would not stand for any of The Miz's disparaging comments, the excuses.
AJ came here to fight.
Let's just hope The Miz sticks around to actually have that fight.
[Kevin Patrick] But if you're The Miz, Graves,
how exactly are you concentrating right now
-between AJ Styles-- -[all exclaiming]
-Oh, AJ Styles, emphatic stuff! -Down on the floor, baby.
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] One-on-one action, AJ Styles and The Miz.
The Miz saying that AJ's career has been on a downward spiral
for some time now.
The Miz thwarting AJ's opportunity
to make it to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Now, Styles out for some payback.
[Corey] AJ is looking to right the ship that has been the past several months
of his career. Look, we know AJ Styles is phenomenal.
AJ has lived up to that moniker… [exclaims] for years.
But, recently, Styles hasn't exactly had the best luck.
[Kevin Patrick] So, what does he have to do to turn it around?
[Corey] Stay the course. Keep your foot on the gas pedal, AJ,
because The Miz is in jeopardy.
[Saxton] The Miz has given AJ Styles all the motivation in the world
to turn things around in his own career!
[Kevin Patrick] Cover now! AJ Styles to put away Miz! Oh.
[Corey] You really have to understand, Miz is athletically hampered.
Try competing in a match like this with tennis balls in your pockets.
-It's difficult. -[Kevin Patrick] Oh, here we go again.
[Corey] It messes with your motion, your agility.
[Saxton] Like Miz, you got 5,000 excuses.
[Kevin Patrick] The Miz has 5,000 things on his mind right now,
including Logan Paul, AJ Styles, his hit TV show.
[Corey] Reality empire. Oh!
And AJ Styles face first into the middle buckle.
This is why you can never count The Miz out of a battle.
[Kevin Patrick] Things have not been going well for AJ Styles.
-He picks himself back up! -[Corey] Oh, oh, oh!
AJ wants the Calf Crusher. Miz rolls through!
Boom! Spectacular!
[Kevin Patrick] Can Miz finish it now? This, the opportunity.
Oh, AJ wants more.
[Corey] Let's take a look once again at how Miz
turned around the momentum of this match-up.
Good old-fashioned brains.
Yeah. And, then, this by The Miz, planting Styles with that DDT
in the middle of the ring. Nearly put AJ Styles away.
[Kevin Patrick] How badly does AJ Styles need this victory, Saxton?
You think about Omos thriving without AJ,
Finn Bálor betraying him.
[Saxton] I think, above all, it's just to shut The Miz up,
and to finally defeat The Miz and give him
no more reason to call AJ Styles a disappointment.
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, here comes AJ looking for that Phenomenal Forearm!
[Saxton] Got him!
[Kevin Patrick] For the victory now! Styles!
-He's got it. -[bell dings]
-[AJ Styles theme song playing] -[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Here is your winner
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!
[Saxton] And just as I was saying,
hopefully now, with this victory over The Miz,
we don't have to hear any more absurd comments from The A-Lister.
[Corey] AJ Styles soaring through the sky like only he can,
delivering a Phenomenal Forearm right on the money. Right in the…
Wait a second! Ciampa!
-It's always Ciampa. -[Saxton] We've seen this before.
Ciampa not far behind The Miz.
I don't know what's going on between The Miz and Ciampa
but, right now, Ciampa once again blindsiding AJ Styles.
[Kevin Patrick] It happened two weeks ago. Ciampa will do anything
for that spotlight.
Determined to make an impact!
[Corey] Looks to me like Ciampa wants to impress The A-Lister.
Ciampa wants to follow in the footsteps of the most must-see Superstar in WWE.
[Kevin Patrick] Ciampa's not done yet!
Sizing up Styles.
[Corey] AJ Styles might be done.
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, no! Styles… Oh!
[Corey] Styles rocks Ciampa for the moment. Pelé Kick!
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] And Styles now looking to send an emphatic message…
Oh, from behind! From behind!
[Corey] Skull-Crushing Finale!
[crowd booing]
[Kevin Patrick] Just when AJ Styles thought he had that moment of glory,
that winning feeling.
[Corey] I hope Logan Paul is watching carefully.
[crowd booing]
[Corey] Look at this.
There's a smile of approval
on the face of The Miz directed at Ciampa.
[booing continues]
[Corey] A cold-blooded stare in the eyes of Ciampa.
[Saxton] There you have it. It's confirmed.
[Corey] Every great leading man needs a supporting cast.
[The Miz's theme song playing]
Ciampa and Miz can make life difficult for a lot of Superstars here on RAW.
[Kevin Patrick] Well, that Money in the Bank, Liv Morgan called it
the greatest day of her life, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ms. Money in the Bank becoming the new
SmackDown Women's Champion,
and she's on Monday Night RAW, next!
[Kevin Patrick] Happy Fourth of July, folks! We're in San Diego, California
bringing you Monday Night RAW on this beautiful, beautiful holiday.
It certainly was a beautiful night in Las Vegas, Nevada,
just a couple of nights ago, as Liv Morgan went and cashed in,
and not only did that, seized the opportunity later that night.
[Cole] Ronda Rousey defends the SmackDown Women's Championship
against Natalya!
Ronda tweaked her knee as she came through the bottom rope
and hit the floor.
[tense instrumental music]
Natalya now, Sharpshooter time!
-[McAfee] She's got the arm, Cole! -[Cole] The arm is trapped.
-Natalya taps out! -[bell dings]
Ronda Rousey retains!
Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?
Ms. Money in the Bank!
Ronda's hurt!
-[McAfee] She's cashing in, Cole! -[bell dings]
[announcer] The following is a women's Money in the Bank
Ladder Match!
♪ In which I was done ♪
♪ And the race is won ♪
♪ We can all be art ♪
♪ We like glory ♪
[McAfee] Sizing one another up, but not taking their eyes off the prize,
high above the ring.
One of these seven women are about to change their life.
♪ We are the dreamers, the believers And the underdogs ♪
♪ The underestimated players In your house of cards ♪
[song continues]
[Cole] Oh, my God.
[McAfee] Morgan. Morgan.
[Cole] Liv Morgan all alone at the top.
-[bell dings] -[Cole] Liv Morgan has done it.
Liv Morgan can declare herself Ms. Money in the Bank.
[music continues]
[female announcer] Liv Morgan is cashing in her Money in the Bank contract.
[Cole] Ronda on one knee.
Liv with a kick, and Ronda picked the ankle.
Liv Morgan has worked her ass off to get to this moment.
Morgan, a kick to the bad knee.
[crowd cheers]
[Cole] Roll-up. Roll-up for Ronda. Roll-up.
-Liv did it. -[bell dings]
Liv's the champion. Liv's the champion.
All the work, all the passion,
the dream has come true.
Liv Morgan proving that hard work will pay off,
that you never give up on your dreams.
Liv Morgan celebrates as SmackDown Women's Champion.
[crowd cheering]
[Liv Morgan's theme song playing]
[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the new
SmackDown Women's Champion,
Liv Morgan.
[Corey] The sound you are hearing is a resounding roar of approval
for Liv Morgan and what she accomplished this past Saturday.
Truly a life-changing night.
I think it's a safe assumption that Liv Morgan has spent
the last 48 hours residing in a state of euphoria.
What a moment for Liv.
[Kevin Patrick] Well, everybody has been celebrating with Liv Morgan,
and rightly so, including the RAW Women's Champion, Bianca Belair.
You got to love this champion.
[Corey] When I look at Liv Morgan, and you look at Bianca Belair,
you just think of the phrase "hard work works."
First with Bianca and now Liv Morgan
winning her first championship in WWE.
[crowd cheers]
[crowd chanting] You deserve it!
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, guys, but we deserve it.
[crowd cheers]
I am so proud to be standing here
as your new SmackDown Women's Champion.
[crowd cheers]
All of my dreams finally came true
all thanks to one unbelievable night
at Money in the Bank.
To outclimb six of the greatest female competitors in WWE
in the hardest battle of my life.
But do you guys know what got me through that?
All of you guys.
[crowd cheers]
You guys have stayed with me on this journey
every single step of the way.
Thank you.
You guys believed in me
even when at times I felt like I gave you nothing to believe in
and you still believed.
[crowd cheers]
And you guys, most of all, gave me confidence.
You gave me the confidence that I needed to win Money in the Bank
and cash in my contract the very same night
to defeat Ronda Rousey to become your new
SmackDown Women's Champion.
Saying that out loud, literally,
it takes my breath away.
I hope you guys understand
that this, this isn't just for me.
This championship, this is for all of us.
[crowd cheers]
-Even though that winning this-- -[Natalya's theme song playing]
[Corey] How's this for a little unexpected guest?
[Saxton] From Friday Night SmackDown, Natalya's here.
[Corey] The woman that took Ronda Rousey
to the limit before Liv cashed in.
Liv, there's one person here that you should be thanking and that's me.
I am the only reason and I mean only reason
why you were able to cash in your Money in the Bank contract.
That's because I destroyed Ronda Rousey's knee
with the most dangerous submission in WWE, the Sharpshooter.
So, while I would take a thank you,
I'd much rather take that SmackDown Women's Championship.
Okay, okay.
Well, I feel like you're having a hard time
accepting that you lost to Ronda.
Since I am the new champion…
it makes complete and total sense
that you'd come after the giant target that's on my back.
[inaudible]
Since we'll now be sharing a locker room together on SmackDown,
if you really, really, really want a chance at my title,
you know exactly where to find me.
[Carmella's theme song playing]
[Corey laughs] Things just keep getting better.
[Saxton] Why is Carmella out here?
What, stealing the spotlight again, I see.
[Kevin Patrick] Take your jaw off the table, Gravy.
[clears throat] Could somebody please explain to me
why either of you are here?
I know we're celebrating red, white, and blue tonight,
but this is RAW.
So, how about you take your little blue brand buds
back over to SmackDown where they belong?
[Corey] I concur.
Aw! [chuckles]
I'm honestly shocked that the two of you can share a ring right now,
because I know that if Liv came between me and the RAW Women's Championship,
I would smack her down just like I did to Bianca Belair.
Did you guys see me do that?
I know, I'm so good. [laughs] But don't worry, Nattie,
there's still time.
How about you take your little business
with Liv over to, I don't know, say SmackDown
and you leave the ring and the spotlight on me,
the next RAW Women's Champion.
Um, Carmella, haven't you already had enough of the spotlight?
I mean, all eyes were on you
when you lost to Bianca at Money in the Bank. [laughs]
[Corey] That's true.
You know what? I'll tell you what.
If you really, really want me out this ring,
then make me get out.
That actually gives me a good idea.
Nattie, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
[chuckles] Good.
Okay. Well, then we'll both make you.
-[Corey] Wait a second. -[Kevin Patrick] Liv goes first.
[Corey] Morgan fighting off both Natalya and Carmella, but it's two-on-one.
[Kevin Patrick] The odds stacked against Liv Morgan,
the SmackDown Women's Champion.
[Corey] Liv's celebration is being spoiled by Carmella and Natalya.
Two very bitter ladies right now unhappy with the--
-[Bianca's theme song playing] -[Corey laughs]
[Corey] We have backup.
The RAW women's champion, Bianca Belair.
Belair all over Carmella.
[Kevin Patrick] Fresh off defeating Carmella at Money in the Bank,
retaining the RAW Women's Championship.
[Corey] Left laying in the aftermath, let's not forget that, KP.
[Saxton] Natalya sent to the outside, as is Carmella.
The RAW Women's Champion and the SmackDown--
Hold on a second, ladies. Hold on just a minute.
Seems like everybody wants a fight tonight,
so I'm out to officially inform you four
that you've earned yourself a match in San Diego.
[crowd cheers]
Bianca and Liv against Carmella and Nattie
and that match starts right now.
[Kevin Patrick] You heard Adam Pearce,
the RAW Women's Champion teams up with the SmackDown Women's Champion.
[Kevin Patrick] What a moment this is.
The SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan,
teaming up with the RAW Women's Champion, Bianca Belair.
Liv had the numbers stacked against her
after an attack by Natalya and Carmella,
-Bianca Belair decided to join in. -[Corey] There we go. Brilliant.
-[Kevin Patrick] Cover for the win. -[Corey] Don't get it twisted, KP.
I know this is your first night on RAW,
but Bianca Belair has never seen a spotlight she didn't want to steal,
and that was the case tonight. This was Liv Morgan's moment
and the EST, as in arrogant-est
decided to come out and get some of the spotlight.
[Saxton] Are you glossing over the fact Liv was out here celebrating
and got interrupted by the bitter buddies, aka Natalya and Carmella?
[Kevin Patrick] Well, potentially. Gloss over the fact that Carmella
hit Bianca Belair pretty hard after the victory.
[Corey] Who was the last woman on their feet Saturday night, KP, huh?
Not Bianca Belair.
[Kevin Patrick] Cover, Liv Morgan. Carmella kicks out.
[Corey] She's the most, the delusional-est, the bumptious-est.
-I can throw est into anything. -[Kevin Patrick] Natalya's savvy maneuver.
[Saxton] Did we forget that Carmella did lose?
Like Carmella was unable to win the RAW Women's Championship.
We're going to ignore that fact, Corey?
-[Corey] It's revisionist history-- -[Saxton] Revisionist history?
It happened. We were there at ringside.
[Corey] It's a, "What have you done for me lately" business.
[Kevin Patrick] Liv hammered to the canvas by Natalya
who came so close against Ronda Rousey.
[Corey] We know when it's almost only counts.
[Kevin Patrick] Natalya now for the victory.
[Saxton] Look I will give Natalya credit. She did have a point earlier.
Ronda Rousey was softened up,
which allowed Liv Morgan… Hold on a second.
[Kevin Patrick] Roll onto Liv Morgan.
[Saxton] Which allowed Liv Morgan to successfully cash in on Ronda Rousey
and become SmackDown Women's Champion.
Shoulders up. Shoulders up. Down. One.
[Corey] This is Liv's first taste of what it means to be a champion in WWE.
At all times you are a target.
You've got to stay ready for anything that may come your way.
A gnarly landing on the ropes.
Cover by Natalya.
[Kevin Patrick] Liv Morgan been chasing WWE glory her entire life.
It goes all the way back to being a young girl
and four older brothers in the back garden in New Jersey
and now she's SmackDown Women's Champion.
[Saxton] We talk about it all the time.
It's one thing to become a champion in WWE,
it's another entirely to remain champion.
That's when the real work begins.
[Corey] Morgan reaching for the tag.
Able to slide down, counter by Natalya.
[Kevin Patrick] Natalya, submission specialist, looks for the Sharpshooter.
[Saxton] She called it the most dangerous submission in WWE.
Sharpshooter applied.
[Corey] Liv Morgan finding out firsthand just how true it is.
[screams]
[Saxton] Morgan again desperately
reaching for the tag to Bianca Belair.
[Corey] Oh, wait a second.
That's not legal. That is not legal.
That is not in the rulebook.
I want this official investigated.
-[Kevin Patrick] Tag made. -[Saxton] All right.
Surprise, surprise. Natalya.
You got a fresh RAW Women's Champion coming after you.
[Corey] From the most conceited-est, egotistical-est.
[Saxton] You sound like the jealous-est.
[Corey] How is that legal?
Oh, my God. Whoa.
Great counter by Natalya into the hurricanrana.
[Saxton] Belair now striking low on Natalya.
[Corey] You know what, Byron? If Bianca reached her hand in illegally,
-the official won't have let that stand. -[Saxton] Look at the strength on show.
Carmella trying to interfere, gets caught by Belair,
but now Natalya looking for the Sharpshooter on the EST.
Did Carmella just make the tag?
[Corey] Of course she did. Bianca none the wiser.
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, Bianca effortlessly lifting Natalya.
[Saxton] This is terrifying power, no doubt about it.
-You got to remember, Carmella-- -[Corey] Oh, baby!
Good night.
The most unconscious-est.
[referee] Would you stop?
[Kevin Patrick] Welcome back to Monday Night RAW.
We're in San Diego, California.
Tag team action. The champs combining here.
Bianca Belair, RAW Women's Champion
and the new SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan.
Look at this moments ago,
the impact from Carmella on Bianca Belair. Oh.
[Corey] Let's take another look.
So nice let's watch it twice.
[Saxton] Nothing nice or pleasant about that for the EST.
Carmella has been in control ever since.
[Corey] I would say it was the loudest-est
-impact of the match-up. -[Saxton] You're going to continue this.
[Corey] Damn right.
[Kevin Patrick] How was the mood in your household after Money in the Bank?
[Corey] Hey, it's all smiles when the cameras are off. Oh.
Wide opening right now. Bianca Belair desperately needs to tag in.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made, the other side.
-Here comes Natalya. -[Corey] The boat.
[Saxton] Belair was just inches away from tagging in
the new SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan.
[Kevin Patrick] Two on one now in the corner. Natalya.
Carmella watching on.
Two, three.
[Corey] Concerned look on Liv Morgan's face
as Belair tries to find her way out of this predicament.
[Kevin Patrick] Does exactly that.
[Corey] Natalya sent unceremoniously to the outside.
Belair desperately needs to make a tag.
[Saxton] This time no one to impede the path of Belair.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made.
[Saxton] Here comes Morgan.
[Kevin Patrick] Here comes the SmackDown Women's Champion.
[Saxton] Morgan understanding it's a different game now.
No longer does she have the element of surprise.
She is going to have to earn her right to keep
the SmackDown Women's Championship.
[Corey] Step-up knee right on the jaw. Nattie's in trouble.
[Saxton] Morgan looking for more, double knees.
Will that be enough?
[Corey] Liv Morgan for the victory.
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, Carmella.
[Saxton] Carmella at the last possible second.
-We know the history between these two. -[Corey] Oh, no.
[Saxton] Carmella has been the number one hater of Liv Morgan.
[Kevin Patrick] Look at the smile on the face of Liv Morgan moments ago.
She looked comfortable until Natalya had her say.
For the victory, now, Bianca Belair there to help out.
[Corey] Both these teams having a lot of difficulty
capturing the victory, no surprise.
Carmella now on the outside with Belair.
Belair catching Carmella.
[Kevin Patrick] The strength, the power on show from Bianca.
[Corey] This is not going to end well.
[Kevin Patrick] Makes it look easy.
[Corey laughs] Again into the ring post.
The knee rocks Mella.
[Saxton] Morgan from behind.
[Corey] Natalya showing all her experience here.
Natalya going for that Sharpshooter once more.
[Saxton] Multiple times Natalya attempting the Sharpshooter.
-This time, though. -[Kevin Patrick] Oblivion. Liv Morgan now.
Can she see it through and get the win? Yes, she can.
-[bell dings] -[crowd cheers]
[male announcer] Here are your winners,
the team of the RAW Women's Champion, Bianca Belair,
and the SmackDown Women's Champion, Liv Morgan.
[Saxton] Hey, great first start to life
as the new SmackDown Women's Champion for Liv Morgan.
[Corey] Just when it looked as though Carmella was rolling, right here, bang.
Shoulder-first into the ring post.
But credit Liv Morgan, able to fight off Carmella first
and then turn her attention to Natalya with Oblivion
and scoring a pinfall victory
over perhaps the future challenger on Friday night.
[Kevin Patrick] Incredible start to her reign as SmackDown Women's Champion.
The champs combined here.
-Devastating effect. -[Corey] It's not Voltron, KP.
They didn't combine. They teamed up.
It's not like some sort of women's champion robot.
-[Saxton] I like how you said it, Kevin. -[Corey] That'd be cool, though.
[Saxton] Let's check in. I want to see how many hot dogs have been eaten.
-You know I represented this country. -You're an Olympian. 2012.
[indistinct]
Whoa.
The number one takeaway is this.
It took three former world champions
and three potential future world champions
to gang up on you because you are literally the biggest threat here.
So, we're good, man. We just got to stay the course.
Come here. Come here.
-Dana, Dana. -That is mine.
No, no, no.
[growls]
Jeez.
Damn, people getting tossed out on the 4th.
Can't get hit with a fake ID, fam.
What's good, Zeke?
Guys, it's a beautiful day.
-It is. -The sun is shining.
-It is. -The party is bumping.
I get all Zeked up for the 4th of July.
You're right. Right.
When I was younger, Elias, Elrod, myself,
-we had a bit of a pie-eating contest. -Word. Who won?
Uh, let's just say no one, okay?
I ended up Zeke-ing the pie all on the floor.
Elrod followed suit, then Elias did.
It was a real barf-arama.
Barf-arama. That's the first time I heard that one.
No, no. Anyways, guys, good luck with the hotdog-eating contest.
Hopefully, the results are better than that.
I'm just going to try and get some ketchup.
-Let me seal it. -Oh, yes.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
Uh-oh. That's going to stain.
That's on me.
Let me help you out.
Obviously, it made it worse.
[laughter]
Oh, man. Dawks, he's…
-Zeke-ing out. -Zeke-ing out.
Seth Zeke-in' Rollins.
-Oh, man. -The bars, bro.
Another American discovery.
Come on, man. How do we keep finding this stuff out, man?
How do we keep making this stuff up, dawg?
You know what I'm saying?
-[Seth's theme music playing] -[Saxton] Seth looking good
with a little ketchup.
[Corey] Oh, shut up, Saxton.
[Kevin Patrick] What did Ezekiel just do?
[Saxton] Honest mistake.
[Corey] Let's make one thing absolutely clear.
He is a visionary, he is a revolutionary,
and luckily no longer covered in condiments.
[bell dings]
[male announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Davenport, Iowa,
weighing in at 217 pounds,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Kevin Patrick] Well, he has lost the white shirt, dripping in ketchup,
and now Seth "Freakin" Rollins will take on Ezekiel, Elias' younger brother.
What a massive match this is for young Ezekiel
in his career in the WWE.
[ominous music playing]
[Corey] I'm not sure what that was,
but, ladies and gentlemen, WWE SummerSlam is presented by Xfinity.
Xfinity internet helps to protect your devices at home,
and now on the go with advanced security.
Unbeatable internet only from Xfinity.
-[Saxton] Why aren't you singing? -[Kevin Patrick] I'm am, inside.
-[Saxton] I'm not. -[Kevin Patrick] Seth Rollins
inside the ring.
Let's go back two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW.
Riddle had just had a match with Omos, and Seth "Freakin" Rollins
wanted to have his say, coming to the ring and attacking Riddle.
Down goes The Original Bro and Seth Rollins wanted to have a word.
I am Seth "Freakin" Rollins--
[Saxton] Riddle would refuse to stay down
and returned fire to The Visionary for the moment,
which resulted in a skull stomp to the canvas.
[Corey] Just remember, Rollins was infuriated
because Riddle wasn't happy with Rollins' actions towards Cody Rhodes.
Fast forward to two nights ago at Money in the Bank,
Rollins had his hands on the briefcase,
but Riddle got his receipt
with a super RKO from the top of the ladder.
The fact that Rollins is even standing tonight
is nothing short of miraculous.
[Saxton] There's no way that Seth Rollins is 100 percent.
-Might have got ketchup in his eye. -[Ezekiel's music plays]
[Kevin Patrick] Oh, poor thing.
-In Rollins' way… -[male announcer] Ezekiel!
[Corey] I get it. Kevin, this is your first time
live and in person to experience Ezekiel. Let me guess. You're Zeke-ing out.
[Kevin Patrick] I am. I'm excited to see Ezekiel.
[Corey] I'll let you and Saxton put yourselves on mute.
You guys Zeke out together and I'll sit over here and tell the truth.
[Kevin Patrick] We're hoping to meet Elrod one day soon.
[Corey] I had a friend named Elrod when I was in fifth grade.
[Saxton] That's a lie. You've never had a friend.
Apparently, however, Elrod is not just a figment of our imaginations.
-[bell dings] -[Saxton] I've got some investigators
looking into it and I think there's trouble
in whatever the family tree looks like.
-[Corey] I trust your investigators. -[Kevin Patrick] Off we go then.
Look at Ezekiel. Look at what he's been met with early from Seth Rollins.
[Saxton] Let's not gloss over the fact that obviously this is arguably
one of the biggest matches of Ezekiel's young career here in WWE.
Imagine if Ezekiel defeated Seth "Freakin" Rollins here tonight.
[Kevin Patrick] Welcome to the WWE says Seth Rollins.
[Corey] Now you're talking crazy, Saxton. Were you at that party earlier?
-[Saxton] I wish I was. -[Corey] Imbibe a little fun juice?
[Kevin Patrick] Saxton would need to use a cheat day for July 4th.
[Saxton] Oh, thunderous German suplex from Ezekiel,
and The Visionary out of sorts.
[Saxton] Great response so far for Ezekiel.
-[Corey] He's not hanging around. -[Saxton] If Rollins loses here tonight,
think about the continued downward spiral,
not winning the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, then losing to Ezekiel.
What would that do to the psyche of Seth Rollins?
[Corey] Well, maybe you shouldn't be trying to manifest
that sort of negativity toward The Visionary. Cover.
-[Kevin Patrick] Cover. Rollins now. -[Saxton] Stating possibilities.
[Kevin Patrick] He's passed the lie detector test.
Ezekiel is Ezekiel. Elias' younger brother.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins, a friend of Kevin Owens…
now hoping to put Ezekiel to the sword here.
Carefully measured right hands.
[Saxton] Just imagine the frustration Rollins has got to feel right now.
He said it was his destiny
to once again become Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Corey] Oh, my goodness.
Rollins may be telling the truth in that instance.
Something that we thought maybe
Ezekiel struggled with for quite some time.
Unfortunately, Kevin Owens suffering an injury, which is why Ezekiel--
[Saxton] Look at Ezekiel now.
[Corey] I'm trying to talk over here, Saxton. Stop it.
[Saxton] Make me.
-[Kevin Patrick] I'm between you two. -[Saxton] Oh, ho-ho-ho.
I'm liking this from Ezekiel,
coming back to life here against Seth Rollins.
[Corey] You guys can both put on your apricot-colored pants
and party together afterwards. You can watch fireworks.
[Saxton] It is a nice color.
[Kevin Patrick] Corey, you must be impressed.
Ezekiel putting on a show here early in his WWE career.
[Saxton] This is smart from Ezekiel, wasting no time
going right after Seth Rollins.
[Corey] I just hope Elrod has a better fashion sense.
[Saxton] You say that as Seth Rollins is standing here in front of us.
[Corey] No, no, no.
-[Saxton] Oh, yes. -[Kevin Patrick] Look at this.
Rollins is in trouble.
Ezekiel looking good.
[Kevin Patrick] Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Ezekiel one-on-one action.
Rollins lifting Ezekiel here.
The younger brother of Elias, a valiant performance so far.
[Saxton] Look, Corey, if you're looking at Ezekiel,
you have to be impressed with the fact
that Ezekiel's been able to hang with Seth Rollins this long.
[Corey] I'll give credit where it's due,
Ezekiel has shown flashes of greatness over the past several months,
but he's going to need to do a little more
than just overpower Rollins once as we just watched there.
[Kevin Patrick] What could a victory for Ezekiel do for him going forward?
[Corey] Oh, Elrod may never have to work again.
[Kevin Patrick] Rollins down twice.
Back up on his feet, now collected by Ezekiel.
-[Saxton] Ezekiel displaying that power. -[Corey] Uh-oh. Wow.
[Saxton] At the expense of Seth Rollins.
It seems like an Ezekiel victory looks more and more realistic.
A series of splashes there to the back of Rollins.
We talked about how there's no way Rollins going to be 100 percent
from the Money in the Bank Ladder Match two nights ago.
[Kevin Patrick] Rollins able to escape.
[Saxton] Whoa.
[Kevin Patrick] Rollins came so close at Money in the Bank.
Is he done here, though? The kick out.
[Saxton] Ezekiel cannot afford to let himself get frustrated here.
[Kevin Patrick] You think about all that Seth "Freakin" Rollins has been through
since WrestleMania and the return of Cody Rhodes.
[Corey] Let's not bring up all that history, KP.
Let's talk about the here and the now and the power of Ezekiel,
nearly putting Rollins through the ring.
Ezekiel full speed ahead, gets caught by Rollins.
[Kevin Patrick] You can't deny the emotional turmoil
loss after loss after loss to Cody Rhodes,
yet Seth "Freakin" Rollins is back here, wants to return to winning ways.
-Caught midair. -[Saxton] Ezekiel now. This is it. Oh.
[Kevin Patrick] Rollins says not now.
That may very well be it for Rollins.
One, two. Again Rollins able to escape.
[Corey] Take a look at this, Rollins from the middle rope,
and talk about a home run, Ezekiel right on the jaw of The Visionary,
but not enough to keep Seth down for three.
[Saxton] I think it's dawning on Ezekiel right now just how close,
a half a second, from defeating Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Kevin Patrick] Not bad for a novice, huh?
[Saxton] Not at all.
[Kevin Patrick] Ezekiel wants to climb. Rollins still on the deck.
Hang on, Rollins back on his feet.
[Saxton] Ezekiel took a little too much time on the climb
which allowed Seth Rollins to meet him.
Now Rollins gonna join Ezekiel on the rope.
Ezekiel desperately trying to fight off Rollins, successfully does so.
Ezekiel all alone.
[Kevin Patrick] He's seeing stars right now.
-Rollins climbs back up. -[Saxton] Oh, boy.
[Corey] Rollins looking for a superplex perhaps.
[Saxton] Zeke fighting himself out of a precarious position.
Now Rollins perched on the shoulders of Ezekiel,
around, around we go.
That was Eliases'.
[Kevin Patrick] Cover for the victory for Ezekiel and the family. Not to be.
[Corey] Still not enough to put The Visionary away.
Take a look at this.
Perhaps a nod, an homage to his older brother, Elias,
Ezekiel planting Rollins with a powerbomb.
How do you think Elrod's powerbomb is?
-[Saxton] I'd love to see it. -[Kevin Patrick] No doubt, Elrod and Elias
watching on, who knows if there's other brothers or sisters for that matter.
You almost feel like, oh…
[Saxton] Before that kick Ezekiel was just one more big move away
from capturing a victory.
Have you ever seen that movie Split?
Never mind. No.
[Corey] Big forearm from Rollins.
[Kevin Patrick] Ezekiel responds.
[Corey] Both men trading shots. Who's going to get the advantage here?
[Kevin Patrick] Ezekiel going toe-to-toe with Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Corey] This has been a battle without question
between Rollins and Ezekiel.
[Kevin Patrick] Swing and a miss. Ezekiel to seize the opportunity.
[Saxton] Shoulders down.
-[Saxton] Inside cradle. -[Kevin Patrick] Decides to go
one more time.
-[Saxton] Ezekiel's given himself-- -[Kevin Patrick] Oh.
[Saxton] That shot. That shot might have rocked Ezekiel.
Oh, no, no, backslide.
-Again not… Oh. -[Kevin Patrick] Stomp. Stomp.
Rollins executes. Can he get the victory now?
-He's got it. -[bell dings]
[male announcer] Here is your winner, Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Saxton] Credit Ezekiel for a heck of a performance,
but it came down to one crucial mistake for Ezekiel.
You see here Ezekiel going for the backslide
on Seth "Freakin" Rollins, but Rollins quickly recovering,
delivering the Stomp to Ezekiel.
[Corey] Zeke was playing checkers,
Rollins chess.
One step ahead when it counted most.
Night night, Ezekiel.
[Kevin Patrick] A valiant effort from Ezekiel,
but Seth "Freakin" Rollins returning to winning ways here on Monday Night RAW.
[Corey] What was that about emotional turmoil, Saxton?
[Saxton] Well, obviously Rollins was able to recover from said turmoil here tonight.
Wait a minute.
[Kevin Patrick] Where's he going?
[Saxton] Obviously Seth Rollins is not done
despite the fact that the match is over.
[crowd cheers]
[inaudible]
[Corey] Oh, hang on a second.
-It's Riddle. -[Saxton laughs]
RKO out of nowhere by Riddle.
[Kevin Patrick] Where did he come from?
[Saxton] Great question because Riddle's wearing swim trunks.
[Kevin Patrick] RKO yet again, delivered
to Seth "Freakin" Rollins out of nowhere.
[Saxton] From perhaps the depths of the pool fresh off the diving board,
The Original Bro flattens The Visionary with an RKO.
[Kevin Patrick] He did it on Friday Night SmackDown,
he did it at Money in the Bank from the top of the ladder,
and Riddle appears on Monday Night RAW
to do it yet again to Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Saxton] Issues far from over between Rollins and The Original Bro.
[Corey] What is Riddle even doing here?
Did they run out of food and beverages and hotdogs at the July 4th party?
[Kevin Patrick] Speaking of, let's check backstage again at the party.
Happy 4th of July, Seth.
[crowd cheering and encouraging]
[whistle blows]
[male announcer] And the winner is
Akira Tozawa.
[crowd cheering]
What? What? Are you kidding me?
There's no way, there's not a chance that little guy beat my tree trunk.
I demand a recount right now.
Master Gable demands a recount.
-What? -I'm not feeling so good.
-Uh… -Hey, hey, hey.
Remember, tonight we got that 6-Man Tag.
I need you guys at your best. You all right?
-I'll see you guys out there. -I guess.
-I'll get some Pepto. -[man] Good job.
[Lashley's theme song playing]
[Corey] Tozawa's just lucky Joey Chestnut wasn't here today.
The statuesque presence of the United States Champion.
[Kevin Patrick] A sight to behold.
[crowd cheering]
[bell dings]
[male announcer] The following contest is a 6-Man Tag Team Match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first,
he is the United States Champion,
"The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.
[Kevin Patrick] "The All Mighty" era is alive and well.
Bobby Lashley the new United States Champion
set to team up for the first time ever with The Street Profits.
[Corey] Feeding off the unrelenting support of the WWE Universe.
A proud representative of the United States
and the championship he wears around his waist so proudly.
[Kevin Patrick] He can't take the smile off his face.
Get excited for this one, folks.
Bobby Lashley for the first time teaming up with The Street Profits.
It's a 6-Man Tag coming your way on Monday Night RAW.
The man that Lashley defeated,
he happens to be Mr. Money in the Bank now, Theory.
He's got the Alpha Academy by his side.
Wait. Is Otis gonna even be able to compete?
[Kevin Patrick] You're very welcome back to Monday Night RAW
brought to you by Marvel Studios' Thor: Love and Thunder
in theaters everywhere this Friday.
[Saxton] In the ring, a man who looks like he could stand toe-to-toe with Thor,
"The All Mighty" United States Champion, Bobby Lashley,
awaiting the arrival of his partners.
[Street Profits' theme song playing]
[crowd cheering]
[male announcer] Tag team partners, at a combined weight of 492 pounds,
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins,
The Street Profits.
[Saxton] Celebratory mood on the surface
for Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins
raining red solo cups,
but you know what happened two nights ago
has got to be fresh in the mind of The Street Profits.
[Kevin Patrick] No question whatsoever.
Let's revisit what happened with The Street Profits in action
against the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos.
The Profits would go toe-to-toe here against The Usos
who've been champions for 350 days.
[Corey] Otherworldly effort by all four competitors.
This truly was an instant classic in the tag team division.
Pay attention to Montez Ford's shoulder,
after the final 1D delivered by The Usos,
the official counted to three.
His view was obscured and did not see Montez's shoulder off the canvas.
Certainly cause for disagreement
with the decision for The Street Profits.
[Saxton] You got to feel for The Street Profits.
Perhaps one of the best outings of their career,
but to have the match end in such controversial fashion…
-Yup. -…that's tough to swallow.
No question, an emotional night for The Street Profits.
It was a roller coaster night for one, Theory. Let's revisit.
[male announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is for the United States Championship.
[commentators exclaim]
[Corey] This is what happens when you tick off Bobby Lashley.
Full speed ahead.
Oh, my goodness gracious. Did you hear the thud?
Oh.
[Saxton] Lashley ate all of the middle turnbuckle.
[Corey] Raking the eyes of Bobby Lashley.
A spear. Oh, my God.
Going A-Town down.
Theory's going to try this one more time. Lashley. Hurt Lock.
The Hurt Lock. The Hurt Lock.
Theory is fading fast and there's the tap.
[bell dings]
[Saxton] Thou shall not tick off the All Mighty.
"The All Mighty" is once again United States Champion.
[female announcer] The following is the men's
Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
[Corey] This is an all-star team of performers.
One briefcase away from running this entire show.
Gentlemen, hold it there, just a second, please, gentlemen.
I will see your seven competitors and raise you one more.
Your eighth entrant into…
Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
[McAfee] You got to be kidding me.
There always seems to be a power behind Theory
that wants him to succeed regardless.
[Cole] Rollins and Theory and Omos just ran over them.
Oh, my goodness.
Look out, Sami, this is going to hurt.
Powerbomb to the ladder.
[McAfee] What's this mad man thinking?
Floating Bro.
[Cole] Chokeslam.
Helluva Kick by Sami.
Now McIntyre.
Stomp on the apron.
[McAfee] Six dudes, one Nigerian giant.
[Cole] Oh, through the table. Omos down and out.
Riddle back up, top of the ladder.
Riddle's got Rollins, RKO. Are you kidding me?
Riddle may have topped it here tonight at Money in the Bank.
Theory climbing the other side.
Riddle banged off the top of the ladder.
Oh, no.
[Cole] Oh, no, Theory's all alone, this can't be.
Are you kidding me? Not this way.
[bell dings]
[Cole] Theory is Mr. Money in the Bank.
[crowd boos]
[Theory] My time is now.
And all of you can catch me at SummerSlam.
-♪ A-Town ♪ -♪ Down ♪
[Corey] It's time for Mr. Headline himself.
[Tenay] And their opponents.
First, he is the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank
in WWE history,
Theory.
[Corey] Take a look at this sight and get used to it,
because you'll be seeing it for years to come,
Mr. Money in the Bank, Theory.
You know Theory is already looking forward
to the biggest party of the summer.
[Kevin Patrick] He'll get another crack at Bobby Lashley,
the new United States Champion.
We're headed to Music City, folks,
Nashville, Tennessee, July 30th.
It's a rematch for the United States Championship.
Bobby Lashley defending against Theory.
[Saxton] Uh, to me, Theory is probably the luckiest man in WWE right now.
He was gifted a last-minute opportunity
to be part of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match,
and now gifted an opportunity at SummerSlam.
[Corey] I think Gable is talking to you, Saxton. Shoosh.
[Tenay] And his tag team partners, Otis
and Chad Gable, Alpha Academy.
[Corey] Gentlemen, is it me or does Otis look a little bigger than usual?
[Saxton] Well, he had 23 hot dogs earlier on today so that could be--
[Corey] We got an overfed Tree Trunk on our hands
and if that means Otis is in a bad mood,
it could be a long night for Lashley and The Profits.
[Kevin Patrick] Otis slowly making his way to the ring.
Gable shooshing everybody as expected.
[Saxton] You guys realize the amount of history
Theory stands to make at SummerSlam
as Mr. Money in the Bank?
He can become the United States Champion again
and then after we know what is going to be a hellacious war,
Last Man Standing between Reigns and Lesnar,
Mr. Money in the Bank's still going to be in the house.
[Corey] Let's underscore could.
Okay, if Theory, if Theory finds a way to defeat Bobby Lashley
and regain the United States Championship.
If, if Theory possibly is able
to successfully cash in on Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns.
-Lot of ifs there in that scenario… -[bell dings]
…at SummerSlam
[Kevin Patrick] Six-man tag.
Bobby Lashley, the new United States Champion,
teaming up with The Street Profits,
contrasting results at Money in the Bank on Saturday.
In the other corner, Theory, Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Corey] We know there was controversy in the end
of the Tag Team Championship match-up,
but The Street Profits have absolutely no reason
to hang their heads.
What an effort.
Some would say a star making night for both Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
[Saxton] Uh, you can't look at what Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins
brought to the equation at Money in the Bank
and say they weren't ready, weren't prepared.
They didn't bring their A game.
[Kevin Patrick] Many WWE Superstars backstage saying
that was the match of the night.
The Street Profits going toe-to-toe with The Usos.
[Saxton] I can only hope The Profits will have another opportunity.
[Corey] Oh, man. That kick caught Theory right in the chin.
[Kevin Patrick] Hang on a second, this could be over early.
That's my dawg! That's my dawg!
[Corey] You talk about performing well under pressure.
Angelo Dawkins, to me, has noticeably stepped up his game
over the past several weeks.
We talked about the aggression of both Street Profits,
but Dawkins has been on a different level lately.
[Saxton] These clubbing blows delivered by Otis.
Guess he wasn't as afflicted by the hotdogs as we thought.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made. In comes Chad Gable.
Angelo Dawkins absolutely furious after Montez Ford, stuck for words,
speechless after their loss to The Usos. A rare thing for Montez Ford.
-Come on. -[groans]
[Corey] Look at "The Master," Chad Gable just doing what he does best,
-picking apart his opponent. -Thank you.
[Saxton] Done some serious damage to the knee of Dawkins.
[Corey] The Alpha Academy would love to reinsert their names
into the Tag Team Title conversation.
[Kevin Patrick] Dawkins, still full of energy,
looking to make the tag with Montez Ford.
-[Saxton] Great agility by Dawkins. -[indistinct chatter]
[Saxton] And Gable rolls through. Oh.
[Kevin Patrick] After working the left leg of Dawkins.
[Saxton] Had the ankle lock cinched in. Dawkins diving into the tag
-to Montez Ford. -[exclaims]
[Corey] Ford caught Gable right between the eyes, and wow.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] No doubt about it, anytime Montez Ford steps in the ring,
it is going to be spectacular.
[Kevin Patrick] Chad Gable feeling the effects now.
[Corey] Wow!
[Kevin Patrick] Montez Ford to win it.
[Saxton] And this is the kind of intensity,
this is the kind of response you want to see from The Profits
after the frustrations at Money in the Bank.
[Corey] Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
[Kevin Patrick] In comes Mr. Money in the Bank, Theory.
[Corey] Just face first courtesy of The All Mighty,
United States Champion.
-Oh! -Oh, they're in sync.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Saxton] Chad Gable and Theory all the way up.
Shall we start the timer?
-[crowd cheering] -[Corey] Look at this, I dig this.
Salute from Lashley and Ford
who've both proudly served this country.
[Kevin Patrick] We questioned their chemistry, first time working together
does not look like it's an issue.
-[Corey] Dawkins! -[man] Come on!
[Corey] Go ahead, Dawkins.
[Saxton] The Profits and Lashley are on a roll.
-[crowd cheering] -[speaking indistinctly]
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] Welcome back to Monday Night RAW
6-Man Tag Team Match.
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits
-against Theory and the Alpha Academy. -[Corey] Oh!
[Saxton] The "Tree Trunk" Otis
going to work right now at the expense of Montez Ford.
Look at the size of Otis.
[Kevin Patrick] Full stomach again though.
[Saxton] I thought Otis' stomach was bothering him,
but apparently not showing any effects from consuming 23 hot dogs earlier today.
[Kevin Patrick] If you were counting then, Saxton,
how many did Dawkins consume?
[Saxton] Dawkins had, uh, 22, he's right there on the tail of Otis.
[Kevin Patrick] Akira Tozawa victorious in the hot dog eating contest.
Theory now, opportunity to seal it.
Montez Ford responds.
-[crowd cheering] -[man speaking indistinctly]
[Saxton] Look at Mr. Money in the Bank go to work.
Theory, reminding the world, not just Mr. Money in the Bank,
but the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history
at 24 years of age.
[Kevin Patrick] Thinking about the night he had,
the biggest defeat of his life
quickly followed by the biggest victory of his life.
[Corey] That's what it takes to be great in WWE.
A short memory, always on to the next,
and Ford just spiked Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Kevin Patrick] Tag made, in comes Chad Gable.
[Saxton] Out goes Chad Gable courtesy of Montez Ford.
Ford trying to will himself back to his corner,
and Gable right there to thwart the efforts.
[Corey] Smart. Great situational awareness. Oh!
Oh, and the Tree Trunk just flattened Dawkins.
[indistinct chatter]
[Saxton] That speaks to the tag team continuity
of the Alpha Academy.
-[Corey] Oh! -[Saxton] Take another look.
-Wiping out Angelo Dawkins on the outside. -[crowd chanting] Bobby!
[Kevin Patrick] We've questioned the consumption of the hot dogs,
he's showing no signs of slowing down right now, Otis is--
Tag made.
Here comes Bobby Lashley.
[Saxton] And, oh, hell-- Oh, yeah, look at Theory run for his life.
[Corey] Self-preservation is key.
-[Saxton] Yeah, can't run at SummerSlam. -[thuds]
[Kevin Patrick] Lashley tossing Chad Gable.
[Saxton] The Master being tossed around the ring like a pinball
-courtesy of The All Mighty. -[crowd cheering]
[Corey] The All, uh, The All Mighty looking unstoppable.
Well, until that back elbow.
[Saxton] Stopped for the moment.
-Yikes. -[man] Oh!
[Saxton laughs]
[Kevin Patrick] Lashley goes for Otis as well.
-[Corey] Theory once again. -[speaking indistinctly]
[Corey] Oh, yeah, let's take time to flex.
-[Saxton] Whoa. Oh, my gosh. -[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] Holy moley.
Pat, we need some help out here.
[Kevin Patrick] Well, I think Theory's done for the night.
Bobby Lashley loving what he's seen on the outside,
and now turning his attention to Chad Gable.
[Saxton] Poor Theory just got launched into orbit out here.
[Kevin Patrick] This could be it. Lashley over Gable.
Here comes Otis.
[Saxton] Otis just in time.
[Kevin Patrick] Uh, 330 pounds, probably about 345 after earlier today.
[Saxton] Gotta fight through the pain, Otis.
As the man that once took down the old ninety-sixer,
Otis can do it.
Oh, my God.
[Corey] Montez Ford sent to the outside. Oof.
-Oh, my God. -[Saxton] Back elbow flattens Dawkins.
-[Corey] Otis-- -[Saxton] Oh, spear from The All Mighty.
[Kevin Patrick] And Otis is feeling that one.
[Corey] This is gonna be bad for the digestive system of Otis.
-[Saxton] From the heavens. -[Kevin Patrick] Frog splash
to the stomach of Otis.
[Kevin Patrick] Gable now going for the American Automatic.
-[Kevin Patrick] Hustle up. -[Saxton] Wow.
[indistinct chatter]
[Saxton] Chad Gable, what… what an athlete Gable is.
[grunts]
[Kevin Patrick] Yeah, must say that again.
[Saxton] Bobby Lashley, Chad Gable can win this thing all by himself.
[Kevin Patrick] The United States Champion is down.
He could be in trouble.
Gable for the victory.
Lashley still alive.
[Corey] Great tenacity by The All Mighty
after surviving a barrage of offensive attacks from Chad Gable.
And Gable now looking to finish off Lashley.
[Saxton] Lashley able to hold on.
[Kevin Patrick] Impressive stamina on show from Gable, but hang on a second.
-[Saxton laughs] -[Kevin Patrick] Spear.
-Bobby Lashley gets the win. -[crowd] One, two, three.
-[bell dings] -[Lashley's theme music playing]
[Tenay] Here are your winners, the team of The Street Profits
and the United States Champion,
"The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.
[Saxton] What an effort by these three men.
That was a hell of a fight we just saw.
[Kevin Patrick] You'd think they've been doing it for years.
[Saxton laughs] Undeniable momentum.
Take a look earlier on.
Theory was posing on the outside
before he got taken out of action by Angelo Dawkins.
[Corey] Montez Ford from the heavens, right on point.
Coming down on the Tree Trunk,
opening the door for The All Mighty to saw Gable in half with an epic spear.
[Kevin Patrick] Lashley one-on-one with Gable
and the United States Champion seals it.
Victory for Lashley and The Street Profits.
[Corey] Uh-uh. Uh-oh, Otis is not doing too well.
Oh.
[Saxton] Eww, eww.
-Oh, that was so gross. -Otis, are you all right?
Oh my-- Are you okay?
-I'm not. -Oh, my.
Who did this to my number one guy?
[Saxton] Oh, no. We got-- Someone--
-Don't show it, please. -Too many hot dogs.
He's not supposed to eat like this.
[Corey] Oh, God, that smell is disgusting.
[Saxton] I don't want to watch that again. Not again.
[Corey] Oh.
-Processed meat. -[groans]
[Kevin Patrick] Definitely hot dogs.
[Saxton] I think I'm gonna be sick now.
I'll never let you eat like that again. You hear me?
That was my fault.
[Saxton] Get me a trash can.
-I'm so sorry. Are you all right? -[Saxton] Give me a trash can.
[Corey] Someone get Otis some ginger ale.
-[crowd member laughs] -I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Well, hopefully Otis feels better soon,
but now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, Becky Lynch.
[crowd cheering]
No one gives a damn about Otis, Megan.
This is about "Big Time."
He doesn't get to share my spotlight just because he ate too many hot dogs.
Becky, are you upset about your loss at Money in the Bank
or are you upset about your No Holds Barred match with Asuka?
I am upset, my body is broken to bits, and I am mad as hell.
Ever since Asuka has come back after WrestleMania,
anything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
I shouldn't have had to fight my way into a Triple Threat at Hell in a Cell.
It should have been a one-on-one rematch with me and Bianca,
-but I did. -[crowd cheering]
I shouldn't have had to fight my way into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match,
but I did.
Do you know what that makes me, Megan?
It makes me a fighter.
Now, Asuka can try and ruin my life all she wants,
but tonight is No Holds Barred which means no disqualifications,
no restrictions, and no holding back from Asuka
as I make my way back to my RAW Women's Championship.
[indistinct chatter]
So I am ready for Asuka,
but she isn't ready for No Holds Barred Becky.
[crowd boos]
["The Stars and Stripes Forever" playing]
-[Corey] What is this? -[Saxton] All right.
[Corey] Wait.
Is that R… R-Truth?
[Saxton] That's not R-Truth.
[Corey] R-- R-Truth aka Uncle Sam.
I like it.
[Saxton] Do you know what to make of this, Kevin?
[Kevin Patrick] I'm not prepared to say that's R-Truth.
I think it's Uncle Sam.
[Saxton] It's Uncle Sam's Fourth of July celebration, guys.
-[Kevin Patrick] Correct, correct. -[Saxton] Obviously.
[Corey] What a beautiful treat it is on Fourth of July.
[Kevin Patrick] Uncle Sam is in the house. Don't go anywhere, folks.
Greeting us with his presence here on Monday Night RAW.
[Saxton] Hey, Uncle Sam.
["The Stars and Stripes Forever" continues playing]
[Kevin Patrick] Welcome back to Monday Night RAW.
Moments ago, a 6-Man Tag,
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits victorious.
Lashley with the spear on Otis.
[Corey] Wait, wait, wait, we know how the match ended.
I want to see what happened after the match.
-[Saxton] Oh, not again. -[Corey] This, the "Tree Trunk" Otis
-losing his lunch. -[Saxton] Oh!
[Corey] Thank goodness Gable narrowly avoided disaster.
Could've been even worse.
[Saxton] So disgusting.
He's not okay over here. Byron Saxton's not good.
Folks, tomorrow, cannot wait for The Great American Bash.
Bron Breakker, Cameron Grimes. Whet the appetite, Corey Graves.
[Corey] The NXT championship on the line,
Breakker, Grimes, tomorrow night right here.
-8/7 Central on USA. -[R-Truth] You all good?
[man] ♪ I got my money in the bank… ♪
We got to get some USA chants in here.
-[crowd chanting] USA! USA! -What?
-[crowd chanting] USA! USA!
All right, all right.
WWE Universe, allow me to introduce myself.
[crowd cheering and chattering]
I am the one, the only…
[indistinct chatter]
…I'm Uncle Sam, y'all.
-[crowd cheering] -[Corey] Told you.
Now, today is my favorite holiday.
[crowd cheering]
Today we celebrate our Independence Day.
[crowd cheering]
Now, now, now.
As we all know from the movie Independence Day…
[indistinct chatter]
…today we are here to honor those brave American heroes
-that-- -[crowd clapping]
-Give it up. -[crowd cheering, clapping]
Those brave American heroes
saved the Earth from that alien invasion back in 1996.
[Corey chuckles]
[Corey] I remember that.
Will Smith…
Jeff Goldblum… [exclaims]
…and we can't forget our favorite American hero
Vivica A. Fox.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Oh, yeah.
-As we honor them… -[crowd cheering]
…I would like to read my favorite passage
from the Constitution.
[indistinct chatter]
"Welcome to Earth."
[Corey chuckles] Wow.
Wait, what?
Wait a second, it's Ludwig Kaiser from SmackDown.
If you're done with this ridiculous charade…
[crowd cheering, chattering]
my name is Ludwig Kaiser…
and I am here to introduce you to a man
who is actually worthy of celebration.
Stand and pay respect
to your WWE Intercontinental Champion.
-[crowd cheering, clapping] -[woman] Go, Gunther.
"The Ring General"
Gunther.
[Gunther's theme song plays]
[Saxton] The Intercontinental Champion, Gunther.
What an incredible surprise here on Monday Night RAW.
From Friday Night SmackDown, the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther,
and this is next-level physicality we're talking about.
If I were Uncle Sam, I'd get the hell out of Dodge.
[Corey] I'm sure this was not how
the Fourth of July celebration was supposed to go.
[Kevin Patrick] R-Truth looks absolutely stunned.
This man sent shockwaves through the WWE when he made his SmackDown debut in April.
Nine weeks later, he's Intercontinental Champion.
[Saxton] The trademark scowl on the face of Gunther,
who is all business all the time.
[Corey] He is not human, he's like a piece of iron.
The Ring General has arrived on Monday Night RAW.
[Kevin Patrick] What does he want from R-Truth?
[Saxton] Oh, I would suspect nothing good is in store for R-Truth
if he doesn't get out of this ring.
[crowd chants] USA! USA!
Everybody, everybody!
-[crowd continues chanting] -[R-Truth] You hear that?
[crowd] USA! USA!
[speaking indistinctly] Back it up.
-Are you okay? -Yeah, man.
[Kevin Patrick] How disrespectful.
-Are you ready to do this? -No, man.
I'm not ready for this.
-[bell dings] -[Kevin Patrick] The bell rings.
-R-Truth-- -[Kevin Patrick] Gunther,
the Intercontinental Champion.
[Saxton] No wasted motion, right out of the gate
with an epic boot to the jaw of Uncle Sam.
[Saxton] R-Truth,
Uncle Sam was not prepared to face the Intercontinental Champion right here.
-[speaking indistinctly] -[Kevin Patrick] The Austrian bruiser
Gunther.
I heard you speaking on your podcast, Corey Graves,
after the bell about the old-fashioned ruthlessness of Gunther.
[Corey] I am such a fan of what the Ring General
is capable of inside the ring.
And R-Truth finding out firsthand, fighting valiantly, but…
-Oh! -[Corey] Be honest.
That's just a taste of the traumatizing physicality
that Gunther brings to the ring.
[Saxton] Somebody throw in a damn towel.
-Oh! -[Kevin Patrick] Uncle Sam,
R-Truth in a perilous position here
-as Gunther puts him away. -[referee] One, two, three.
-[bell dings] -[Gunther's theme song plays]
[Tenay] Here is your winner,
the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther.
[Corey] No wasted motion, no wasted movement.
Just expertise from bell to bell,
a dominant showing by the Intercontinental Champion.
[Kevin Patrick] Making a statement tonight on Monday Night RAW.
Excuse me, Alexa, what's your reaction on your friend Liv Morgan
cashing in the Money in the Bank contract on Ronda Rousey
and becoming the new SmackDown Women's Champion?
Sarah, again, I don't have friends here,
but I am genuinely happy for Liv.
I told you she was going to be a champion one day,
and I'm so happy I got to see her succeed.
However, it did make me realize that it has been way too long
since I've held anything besides Lilly.
I think it's time for some championship gold of my own.
And I know Becky and Carmella want to be the next ones to challenge Bianca Belair,
but I think it's time for some Twisted Bliss.
Plus, how cute would it be really to see Lilly in a little matching title,
-we can come out together and-- -Alexa…
[speaking Japanese]
[chuckles] Alexa, it's not next.
I'll beat Becky Lynch tonight and become the next RAW Women's Champion.
-[crowd cheering] -[chuckles]
[Corey] Things certainly heating up in the RAW women's championship division.
[Kevin Patrick] Yes, certainly is indeed. Asuka to come.
But, folks, we are looking ahead here to Music City, Nashville, Tennessee.
A Last Man Standing Match
between "The Beast" Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, "The Head of the Table."
And coming up, we'll take a look back at their storied history.

[Kevin Patrick] Welcome back to Monday Night RAW, folks.
We're just shy of four weeks from SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee.
A gargantuan collision awaits
between "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns,
and "The Beast" Brock Lesnar.
[man rapping]
[Roman] This is my WWE.
[narrator] Every epic book tells an unforgettable story.
[Roman] I told them over two years ago
that I'm here to wreck everyone, and then I'm leaving.
[narrator] Each chapter twisting and turning…
taking you on a ride.
[Roman] There's no one left.
[narrator] Until the crescendo.
-[guitar music playing] -[crowd cheering]
[narrator] The inevitable ending.
[Corey] Brock Lesnar is back.
[crowd cheering]
Roman Reigns has seen a ghost.
"The Beast" wants his title back.
[narrator] The book of Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns
is the defining rivalry of the last decade.
[Heyman] There is no way to embellish the enormity…
[narrator] Many chapters have been written on the grandest of all stages.
[Tenay] The biggest WrestleMania match
of all time.
[narrator] With tales of betrayal.
[Saxton] Brock Lesnar was just stabbed in the back by Paul Heyman.
[narrator] Heartbreak.
[Saxton] Roman Reigns could not conquer "The Conqueror."
[narrator] Victory.
[Corey] Roman Reigns finally did it.
[narrator] And indescribable destruction.
Suplex city, bitch.
[Saxton] These two want to ruin each other.
[narrator] But this final stanza will be different.
It'll be more unpredictable.
[Corey] This is going to be a flat-out war.
[narrator] More physical, more brutal.
And this book won't end until one of these men…
[Saxton] Roman Reigns, the longest reigning universal champion.
Brock Lesnar.
[Corey] The alpha male of our species!
[narrator] …are so physically tormented, so dominated and defeated,
that they cannot answer the count of ten.
[crowd cheering]
[narrator] At SummerSlam,
the final chapter in this masterpiece will be written
for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
It is the last match.
[Saxton] High stakes, big time, main event.
[narrator] Last time.
[Saxton] Will it be Reigns or will it be Lesnar?
[narrator] Last Man Standing.

[bell dings]
-The following is a No Holds Barred Match. -[crowd cheering]
In this match, there are no count-outs, no disqualifications.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
[Becky Lynch's theme song playing]
[Tenay] Introducing first from Dublin, Ireland,
"Big Time" Becky Lynch.
[Corey] Glad Mike Rome recreates puberty every Monday night.
[Patrick chuckles] Welcome to the Big Time.
[Corey] I like it better when I say it.
I know you're new here. That's my line.
Usually, Saxton ruins it.
[Kevin Patrick] I've been studying you, Graves.
[Corey] That's your first mistake.
[Kevin Patrick] It's a No Holds Barred Match, Asuka, Becky Lynch.
Remember No Holds Barred, no count-outs, no disqualification.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
Can Becky Lynch finally get rid of Asuka?
We'll find out on Monday Night RAW.
[Corey] "Big Time" Becks needs this.
Needs this victory over "The Empress."
You got to wonder if Becky Lynch does earn a victory over Asuka tonight,
she'll be one step closer to her championship aspirations
when we're live in San Antonio, Texas, next week for Monday Night RAW.
[Saxton] Maybe Becky will help you find your bicycle in the basement
of the Alamo, Peewee.
-Don't know what you're talking about. -You know what I'm talking about.
-We got No Holds Barred on tap. -[Kevin Patrick] Got tables out.
[Corey] It's getting big time. It's getting ugly, and it's next.
[upbeat instrumental rock music playing]

[Corey] Here's a hint, just be better at Saxton in anything.
We're looking for reasons not to fly him.
[Kevin Patrick] No-No Holds Barred, and look at this.
Becky Lynch lining up the chairs, lining up the tables.
[Corey] A veritable buffet of weaponry awaits,
and here comes "The Empress of Tomorrow."
[Asuka's theme song playing]
[Tenay] And her opponent from Ōsaka, Japan,
Asuka.
[Corey] A continued thorn in the side of "Big Time" Becks,
and Asuka's got some weaponry in her possession.
[Kevin Patrick] And Becky Lynch on her first return to RAW
after WrestleMania was absolutely stunned by this returning WWE Superstar.
No, no, no.
Nobody's going to be able to stop me,
not Bianca, not Sonya, not Liv, not Tamina, not--
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] To your point, Kevin,
this was the first time we'd seen Asuka in nine months,
and she was there to, uh, spoil the return for "Big Time" Becks.
[crowd chanting]
I will stop you
because no one is ready for Asuka.
Whoo!
[Saxton] Becks didn't take too well to being embarrassed
during her own segment,
was chased off after the threat of a furious spinning back fist by Asuka.
These two have had a raging conflict ever since,
which perhaps may reach its conclusion here tonight in a No Holds Barred Match.
[Corey] Asuka looking like she made a trip straight out of Camp Crystal Lake,
ready to bring the ugliness to Monday Night RAW,
and I mean that in the best possible way.
These two women cannot stand one another.
We have got a big-time fight on our hands.
[Kevin Patrick] Oh. [chuckles]
[Corey] Look at the vitriol you just saw a moment ago on the face of Becky Lynch
who's stacked up a number of steel chairs on her side of the ring, a table.
[Kevin Patrick] The word is backstage
that Becky Lynch was canvassing upper management
to make sure this match was a No Holds Barred Match.
Becky wants to take it to another level and simply rid Asuka from her path.
[Saxton] It's understandable…
Talk about a thorn in the side of Becky Lynch.
I mean, Asuka has really been
the single biggest problem in Becky's life recently.
-[bell dings] -[Kevin Patrick] Oh, the bell rings,
off we go.
No Holds Barred. No.
[Corey] First shot fired by Asuka.
[Saxton] Sliding kick, "The Empress" out of the gate strong.
[Corey] Asuka here early.
No count-outs, no disqualifications.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
[Saxton] All of this weaponry, perfectly legal.
[Corey] It seems only appropriate with as heated as things have been
over the last couple of months between Asuka and Becky Lynch,
that it is a No Holds Barred Match between these two.
[Kevin Patrick] We mentioned Becky Lynch wanted a No Holds Barred
but how do you think Asuka is feeling right now?
She looks pretty pumped for this, using all the tools she can.
[Saxton] Asuka has never met a fight she wasn't excited for.
Tonight's absolutely no different.
Lynch having a bit of trouble setting up the chair in the turnbuckle.
This could cost "Big Time" Becks.
She's spending a lot of time over there.
-[Corey] May want to readjust her plans. -[Asuka speaking indistinctly]
[all commentators] Oh.
[Saxton] I have to wonder what sort of physical condition these two women are in
after Money in the Bank this past Saturday.
[Corey] It's a good question.
You heard Becky Lynch mention earlier
that her body is broken from that Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
I'd imagine Asuka not feeling too great either.
[Kevin Patrick] Becky Lynch coming so close at Money in the Bank as well.
[Saxton] It looks like it's going to come down
to the first woman to make a mistake.
Both of these women so familiar with one another.
They seem to know what the other is thinking before they even perform it.
[Corey] Asuka was looking for a suplex on the steel chair.
[Saxton] Oh, Becky.
[Corey] Little skip over the chair from Becky.
[Saxton] Oh, dropkick from Asuka.
[Corey] Becky's back.
Oh. Face first into the steel chair.
[Saxton] Lynch rolling to the outside,
but again, no respite in a No Holds Barred match-up.
-[Asuka exclaims] -[Corey] But Asuka--
[Saxton] Oh, dear.
Uh-oh.
Becky is holding on for dear life here--
[Corey] Asuka is looking for a German suplex
but I think Asuka would settle for a powerbomb.
Becky Lynch avoiding disaster.
[Kevin Patrick] Emphatically responds.
[Saxton] Becky Lynch describing Asuka--
[Corey] Oh, wait, wait, wait a second. Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] That's why she's stacked up the chairs.
[Corey] Oh, oh, oh, get out of the way.
[Saxton] Becky Lynch is looking to up the ante here
in this No Holds Barred Match.
Remember, anything goes.
-Becky still chair in hand. -[Becky grunts]
-Oh. -[Becky groans]
[Corey] Becky was attempting to avoid contact from Asuka.
[Saxton] Asuka had a bit of a counter strike there
to at least create some separation between herself and Lynch.
[Kevin Patrick] And Asuka wants to run at Becky.
[Corey] Oh, hip attack through the barricade, No Holds Barred.
[crowd cheering]
[Kevin Patrick] No Holds Barred Match.
Asuka, Becky Lynch, they'll use anything they can get their hands on
as a weapon as of right now.
No count-outs, no disqualifications.
[Corey] You must defeat your opponent by pinfall or submission.
We saw both of these women using all the real estate here inside the arena
battling through the WWE Universe,
and it just continues to devolve into more chaos.
[Kevin Patrick] Becky Lynch has been on pursuit
for the greatest comeback in WWE history.
Has not been the case because of one person, Asuka.
Constantly a thorn in the side of Becky Lynch.
Oh, oh!
[Saxton] This is Becky's opportunity to exorcise her biggest demon.
[indistinct chatter]
Lynch may very well be on the way towards doing that,
eyeing the top rope.
And Lynch ascends, bad intentions in mind.
[both] Oh, Asuka.
Steel chair right to the guts of Lynch.
[Asuka speaking indistinctly]
[Kevin Patrick] It is Becky Lynch that wanted this match to be No Holds Barred.
[Corey] My goodness.
[Saxton] It sounds like poor Becky may rue the day she requested
No Holds Barred when dealing with "The Empress of Tomorrow."
[Corey] This has been a physically bruising environment,
and it's about to get worse.
Suplex on the chairs.
Good Lord.
[Saxton] It's tough to tell who got the worst of the exchange,
both women falling from the top, spine first.
[Corey] Oh, cover, cover.
-Asuka for the victory. -One, two…
[Saxton] Into a pool of steel chairs.
Look at this once more.
[Corey] Gotta be radiating pain up and down the spines
of both Becky Lynch and Asuka.
[Saxton] I think Becks took the worst of the exchange,
Asuka still made incidental contact but--
[crowd chanting] This is awesome.
[Saxton] Asuka now with the trash can in hand that she brought to the ring.
-[Kevin Patrick] Asuka on an absolute-- -Oh, hang on.
Where did Becky go?
[Corey] Asuka.
[crowd booing]
Oh, look, Asuka's got a smile on her face.
Asuka is having fun right now at the expense of Becky Lynch.
[Kevin Patrick] She's toying with the "Big Time" now
to devastating effect.
[Corey] Striking at will.
[Saxton] Adrenaline will make you do crazy things.
You have to be a little off kilter to compete in this sort of environment.
[Corey] Asuka taking her time.
[Kevin Patrick] About to climb.
[Saxton] The trash can is still on Becky Lynch.
-Asuka from the top. -[Corey] Lynch back on her feet.
[Saxton] What a dropkick by Asuka "the grouch."
[Corey] Yeah.
-Asuka now to put Becky away. -One, two--
[Saxton] Uh-oh.
[Corey] There's life in Beck Lynch yet.
[Saxton] Take a look at this.
Perched on the top rope,
right into the trash can
which no doubt made plenty of contact with the skull of Ms. Lynch.
[Corey] Creativity points go to Asuka on that one.
[crowd chanting]
You know, you get the feeling
that Asuka is perhaps just moments away from defeating Becky Lynch
in this No Holds Barred Match.
[Saxton] I don't know that Asuka is particularly concerned
with victory right now.
It seems like "The Empress" is enjoying herself,
just inflicting punishment on "Big Time" Becks.
[Kevin Patrick] Look at the smile on Asuka's face.
[Saxton] A smiley Asuka with a table in her hands.
-Not a good sign. -[Becky grunts]
[Corey] That is what nightmares are made of.
But Lynch stopping Asuka for the moment.
[Kevin Patrick] Hammers Asuka into the steel steps.
Now Lynch goes after the table.
[Saxton] Getting a little creative.
What on Earth does "Big Time Becks" have in mind?
[Corey] Getting rid of the can. Obviously,
Becky Lynch has some sort of plan in store for Asuka…
[indistinct chatter]
…as she sets up the table.
-[exclaims] -[groans]
[Corey] Asuka right there from behind.
I mean, think about how spent Asuka and Becky Lynch have to be
after all the brutality both these two have experienced.
[Kevin Patrick] Vicious right from Becky Lynch. And the chair is out.
[Corey] There are welts forming all over the body of Asuka.
I'm sure… Lynch is a little more covered up
but Becky certainly suffering the same effects, the same damage.
[Saxton] Lynch-- Lynch could barely muscle up the table.
[Corey] Asuka waiting to pounce.
[Saxton] Asuka looking for the Asuka Lock.
[Kevin Patrick] Has she got it?
[Corey] Not fully locked in. Becky Lynch backing Asuka into the corner.
[screams]
[Saxton] Lynch sent to the outside.
[Kevin Patrick] Now blow after blow. Down goes Becky.
[Saxton] Asuka got the best of that exchange for the moment.
[Corey] No delay this time from Asuka.
[Saxton] Muscling Lynch back inside the ring.
Now Asuka on the search for another tool.
[Kevin Patrick] What has Asuka got underneath the ring?
[Saxton] Another tool of destruction for Becky Lynch.
[Kevin Patrick] Becky Lynch needs a moment to catch her breath.
[Saxton] That's unfortunately, unintentionally, exactly what Asuka
just provided "Big Time" Becks and--
We're in San Diego, I don't think it rains here.
[indistinct chatter]
Asuka got a different forecast.
[Corey] Asuka with the umbrella.
[Becky groans]
-[Corey] Oh. -[Saxton] Oh-ho-ho.
Asuka went for the dreaded green mist,
but Becky able to block it with--
[Corey] Becky-- Becky might be out.
-This may have worked for Asuka. -One, two…
[Saxton] Lynch at least prevented the majority of the mist
-from affecting her vision, her sight. -[crowd cheering]
But maybe the damage was done
because "The Empress" is climbing to the top.
[Corey] Becky Lynch able to escape and catch Asuka before she could strike.
[Kevin Patrick] Asuka just hammering Becky from the top…
The last time!
[Kevin Patrick] …but Lynch responds.
[Corey] What on earth.
Becky looking for the home run.
-[Saxton] Oh, Man-handle Slam. -[Corey] Through the table.
-[crowd cheering] -[Saxton] That's got to do it.
[Corey] Man-handle Slam
-through the table. -One, two, three.
-[Corey] And Becky Lynch gets the win. -[bell dings]
-[Becky Lynch's theme music plays] -[singer vocalizing]
[Corey] What a match.
The winner of your match is gonna be "Big Time" Becky Lynch,
and it was no easy task.
This is where Becky saved herself.
The dreaded green mist of Asuka.
Becky with the umbrella
and a Man-handle Slam from the second rope through a table.
It was no easy feat,
but "Big Time" Becks rose to the occasion tonight.
[bell dings]
[Saxton] And big time credit to "Big Time" Becks.
And perhaps this means
-the slump could be over for Becky Lynch. -Yes! Yes!
[Kevin Patrick] Wanted to get rid of Asuka.
No question about it, she wanted a No Holds Barred Match.
Becky Lynch gets it
and gets the victory over Asuka here tonight.
-[Saxton] Monday Night RAW. -I am back!
[Saxton] Welcome back to the big time.
