[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.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome WWE global ambassador,
Titus O'Neil!
When I came to WWE
and became a WWE Tag Team Champion, and entered the WWE Hall of Fame
as a Warrior Award recipient,
[all cheering]
I thought that I had reached the height
of my personal achievements.
but unbeknownst to me,
that one day I would reach the pinnacle
of my success
by becoming your WWE Global Ambassador.
You see, I get a chance to represent WWE
all over the world
in something that I feel that we need now more than ever
all over the world, which is good will.
There is no question that each and every one of us
do everything we can to put smiles on all of your faces.
Both inside and outside of the ring.
Whether it's helping those less fortunate,
or supporting our servicemen and women all over the globe.
[all cheering]
[chanting] USA! USA!
We also support causes
that help promote family, health and community.
All these things that help bring people together to do good.
So, that's what we get a chance to do.
Go all over and spread goodness and goodwill.
That's why you'll never hear us talk about politics.
Or religion or any other subject matter that's divisive.
Because regardless of your race, your economic status,
or your nationality,
this is a place that we deserve to have a safe haven.
This is a place that WWE wants to simply
make sure that we all have a good time.
So…
That's exactly what we're about to do here tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, everyone around the world,
welcome to Monday Night Raw!
What an incredible start to our show from Tampa's own Titus O'Neil.
Jimmy Smith alongside Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.
Well, buckle up because our ride to SummerSlam,
one week from Saturday, it only speeds up tonight,
with the Raw women's championship on the line.
[Jimmy] The Raw Women's Championship on the line.
Bianca Belair, the champ taking on Carmella.
[Corey] We are being graced by the presence of "Big Time Becks."
I am being denied what should be rightfully mine.
I demand a championship match at SummerSlam.
[mouthing]
[bell dinging]
[Corey] Belair wants to leave no doubt she emphatically defeats Carmella tonight.
Bianca having a lot of trouble with a very fired up Carmella.
You like that, Bianca, huh?
Becky Lynch keeping a close eye on the developments.
Oh, my goodness!
[Jimmy] Unbelievable power by Belair.
[Corey] Bella is moving.
[Saxton] Crawling away, trying to escape danger.
[all groaning]
[Corey] Going to the eyes of Bianca Belair.
[Jimmy] Referee is up to six now.
Whoa, whoa, Becky.
[imperceptible]
[Saxton] That's it!
Counted out.
[Corey] Carmella beat the champion!
[Jimmy] Well, Carmello's not the champion, let's make that clear.
[imperceptible]
I won. Not you.
[Jimmy] KO city!
[Saxton] Taking back the title.
That is my title.
[Corey] If it wasn't for Bianca being distracted
by Becky Lynch, there would've been no count out victory for Carmella.
[Saxton] One woman who is never just an observer
when it comes to the Raw Women's title.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, "Big Time" Becky Lynch.
[Jimmy] Some serious fifth element vibes tonight from "Big Time" Banks.
I'm half expecting Korben Dallas to show up.
[Saxton] Becky is sauntering to the ring, full of confidence.
Of course, we heard her bold demand.
She wants the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
[Jimmy] Not just wanting, demanding.
She feels slighted, but it's hers and she hasn't gotten her due.
[Jimmy] It's been a tumultuous couple of months for Becky Lynch.
Lots of ups and downs, lots of frustrations for "Big Time" Becks.
Can she finally turn it around in Championship style?
Welcome to the Big Time.
[cheering]
So.
You all know the story of the little engine that could right?
This little engine, it was carrying this great heavy load
and it kept meeting obstacle after obstacle after obstacle.
But it kept on going, well, you know, I was thinking, that's kind of how
my journey since WrestleMania has been.
But I ain't no little blue choo choo.
No, no, no. I am a steely ginger locomotive,
and you can call me the "Big Time" Becks Express.
But when the "Big Time" Becks Express becomes unhinged, she cannot be stopped.
And that is why when Asuka tried to derail me,
I didn't just turn into a complain train.
No, no, no. I rolled right over her.
And when the train is coming, it stops for nobody.
No, no, no. Everybody stops for the train
just like I stopped five women on my way to money in the bank.
[booing]
But every journey has to hit its stations.
And yes, I have hit Defeat Junction, Loser Place.
But gone on to hit Legendary Road,
History Maker Grove, Breaking Barrier Bend,
and now you can all get off at Appreciation Station,
when I become your next Raw Women's Champion.
[booing]
You love that.
I'm so happy to hear.
I'm so happy to hear because I have just been informed by officials
that the winner of the Championship match that is about to take place
between Carmella and Bianca Belair will have to face me
at SummerSlam for the Raw Women's Champion champ.
-[Corey] Finally, a smile on the face. -Yes, yes.
the "Big Time" Becks Express could, can, and will be your new
Raw Women's Champion!
[boos]
[Jimmy] Smiling and happy but oh,
the Champ might have something to say about that.
[Corey] Big something to say about the "Big Time" Becks Express.
The Raw Women's Champion, Bianca Belair.
Now, now, Becky.
Now, Becky, you know what you did last week was foul, right?
I mean, you can't even just to sit on the sidelines and watch me be great.
No, you had to cause a distraction.
Have me get counted out just so I can lose my match.
But you know what, Becky?
Let me tell you something.
[all chanting] EST! EST!
Hold on. Hold on. Let me tell Becky something.
Becky, let me tell you something. Okay?
You can do whatever it is that you want to do
to try to take the focus off of me and put it on you.
But this is not the Becky Lynch WrestleMania comeback story.
No.
-Yes, it is. -No, no, no, See, No.
This is the Bianca Belair comeback story from last year's SummerSlam.
Because losing that title to you in 26 sec was one of the most lowest moments
in my career.
See, you shocked everybody with your little comeback
that nobody expected.
I mean, you showed up. You surprised me.
You challenged me right there on the spot.
But ever since that moment, I vowed to myself,
that I was going to look at every single opportunity
as a chance to redeem my reputation.
But look at us now.
Oh, boy, Look at us now, a whole year later,
and I am proud to say, that I did just that.
[all cheering]
And after I whoop and beat Carmella tonight,
Imma rewrite.
that last chapter in my comeback story at SummerSlam, and kick your little caboose
right on back to Ireland.
Choo choo.
[Jimmy] Someone Bianca Belair better not overlook tonight.
[Saxton] Someone? You mean the next Raw Women's Champion?
Bianca, Bianca. You're making the biggest mistake
of your career right now by overlooking me.
Because I'm a bad ass with a great ass.
And last week, I beat you.
I won our match.
I beat you.
Although, I will say I find it very convenient
that you got distracted by Becky here
and you couldn't get into the ring in time to beat the count.
Or maybe maybe it's because little EST right here
realized that she was outmatched and she had to take a little shortcut.
Maybe, I don't know.
Regardless, regardless, it doesn't matter because tonight, if you just so happen
to get counted out again, not only will Mella be money,
she'll be your new Raw Women's Champion.
Girl, girl.
No, no. You know, wait.
No, no. I am sick and tired of hearing all this talking.
You know what? It's time for everybody to remember.
why I'm the strongest, the fastest,
the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest--
[Corey] Who needs a reminder, she tells us every week.
And this is what you get for flapping your--.
[Jimmy] She's getting double teamed right now.
Becky Lynch and Carmella teaming up to take out the EST.
And EST not going down without a fight.
[Saxton] She's says she's the toughest, she's showing them now.
I mean, this is absolutely unfair. It's two-on-one.
Bianca doing her best
to fend off both Lynch and Carmello--
[Jimmy] Oh, Manhandle Slam!
[Corey] Start the match. Start the match.
[Jimmy] We have a match, Bianca Belair laid out.
[Saxton] Bianca is in no condition to compete.
[Corey] Ring a bell.
[Jimmy] Right before the break.
Just moments ago, Bianca Belair double teamed by Carmella and "Big Time Becks."
[Corey] …realizing what it means to be the target.
To be the Raw Women's Champion.
Attacks coming from all sides.
You have to wonder what sort of condition the EST is in.
-You want to have this title match? -Yes.
Get to your feet and I'll ring the bell.
[Saxton] Referee checking on her.
[Jimmy] This is very gutsy.
[Corey] Or dumb.
[Saxton] And Bianca can barely stand.
But she's going to defend her owning the championship right now against Carmella.
[Jimmy] With a special condition.
In this match, there are no count outs.
That's how Carmella won last week. Won't be a factor tonight.
We are also being joined by Becky Lynch, and Becky,
forgive me, I have to adjust the rules.
If the Champion is counted out, that being Bianca Belair, Carmella
will become the Raw Women's Champion.
There is count outs and the title can change hands.
No Champion's advantage.
In that sense, Becky, how are you?
[Becky] I am fantastic.
I mean, y'all got out here calling yourself the smartest,
I don't know that was the smartest decision to continue on.
[Corey] I would agree with you wholeheartedly.
I have to ask, it's my journalistic duty.
Now that you've earned a Championship--
Oh, beautiful escape from the slam.
Who would you prefer to defeat on the grandest stage of the summer?
[Becky] Well, you know, look,
I mean, I have history with both of them.
Last year I tossed Carmella to the side, and then I beat Bianca in 26 seconds.
But I do think it would be beautifully poetic
if I beat her in 15 seconds this year.
[Saxton] Let's put a stop to all this.
Hold on, Becky.
All right, let's say you do face Bianca Belair.
What's up with jumping Bianca Belair out here tonight?
What's up with costing Bianca Belair a match last week?
[Becky] Well, I have to let her know that I've got her number
that I can get in her head at any time I want.
You don't go ahead calling yourself the smartest
when I'm around here, clearly demonstrating my smarts.
[Jimmy] A little retreat from Carmella here.
The count out last week.
Bianca trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.
[Saxton] Becky, Becky!
[Jimmy] Once again "Big Time Becks" with the distraction.
[Saxton] So I guess we can't even expect this to be a fair match.
[Corey] What's unfair about it?
Bianca's the one that lost her temper and started swinging.
[Saxton] There's no reason for Becky--
[Jimmy] KOD on the outside.
Smart move from Carmella getting to the ropes.
[Saxton] What was that about, Becky?
[Becky] I just wanted to compliment her boots.
I don't have much to compliment Bianca on, but she has nice boots.
[Corey] Count! The official needs to count.
Hurry up.
[Jimmy] With this match, if Bianca Belair loses by count out, she loses her title.
[Saxton] Think about the predicament Bianca Belair is in.
Not only does she have to deal with Carmella--
[Corey] Now, wait, wait, stop
looking past what's in front of our damn faces, Saxton.
Right now, Carmella is about to dethrone the Raw Women's Champion.
But you and everybody else in the damn WWE Universe
doesn't pay attention or put respect on her name.
[Jimmy] She dumped Bianca Belair into timekeepers.
The count is at five, halfway there.
[Saxton] Bianca can lose her Raw Women's Championship--
[Becky] You have something at the bottom of your shoe.
[Corey] And Mella, once again reigning down right and lefts
on the Champ. Bianca's got to sense it's slipping away.
[Becky] I think Bianca got some gum on her shoes.
-[Saxton] Contain yourself, Becky. -[Corey] Shut up, Saxton.
Becky, how are you going to prepare
for your inevitable match with Carmella at SummerSlam?
-[Saxton] Inevitable match-- -[Corey] Start counting,
you want to count with me, Becky?
[Becky] I'd love to count.
[both] One!
Two!
[Saxton] Absurd.
[Jimmy] It's the referee's count that matters.
[all] Four!
[Corey] He's a little slow, come on.
[Jimmy] Belair laid out outside.
[Saxton] Bianca's not moving. [Corey] Hurry up, Bennett.
[Jimmy] Bianca's got to do something quick.
Three seconds left!
[Corey] Eight!
[Jimmy] … it's Bianca Belair.
She makes it inside the ring somehow.
Welcome back to a Raw Women's Championship match.
Special stipulation,
the Championship can change hands on a count out.
[Corey] The same exact result as last week and Bianca's braid coming into play
-courtesy of-- -[Saxton] Didn't work out for Carmella.
Raw Women's Champion, all fired up. Way to finish this match with Carmella.
[audience] …two, three, four…
[Corey] Crowd counting it off.
[Becky] She's got a little bit of fire, but the thing about fire is it burns out.
[Saxton] Fire certainly was able to overcome you in WrestleMania, Becky.
[Becky] I beat her in 26 seconds, Byron, 26.
[Jimmy] Beautiful cover from Bianca Belair.
So close. We are joined by, of course, a very interested observer,
Big Time Becky Lynch.
In fact, you, yourself, will face the winner of this matchup
at SummerSlam in Nashville, one week from Saturday.
How are you feeling as this match progresses?
[Becky clears throat]
-[Saxton] Sounds like you're speechless. -[Becky] No, I'm not speechless.
I'm not speechless.
I like it.
[Jimmy] Feet on the ropes.
Referee not catching it.
Great offensive Carmella, cover again.
Kick out just in time.
[Corey] Saxton, unlike you, Becky, tends to think before she speaks.
And I like my options.
I've beaten both of them.
One I've beaten in 26 seconds.
[Saxton] So you would like to test yourself
in an honest competition against someone like Carmella?
[Becky] Absolutely. I've already beaten--
[Saxton] Okay, wait a minute.
Let's say Carmella becomes Raw Women's Champion,
and defeats you at SummerSlam. Then what would you do?
[Becky] Well, what if?
What if? What if?
What if the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, Byron?
We don't think like that.
Why do you think like that, what is wrong with you?
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
Caught a cross body from Carmella.
[Saxton] Incredible strength on display.
From the Raw Women's Champion. beautiful Suplex.
I mean, it was all right.
[Saxton] You've experienced that strength multiple times, Becky.
[Becky] Yeah. Yeah. And I have overcome it
because I am a genius, and she is the dumbest.
There we go, there we go.
There's another--
[referee] One, two…
-[Corey] No. -[Jimmy] The kick out from the Champ.
I like dumb-EST.
I'll see that and I'll raise you dishon-EST.
The only thing that anybody remembers about Bianca's
title reign is me. Because I am the moment maker.
[Saxton] Many people would disagree with that.
Bianca's done very well over the last year.
[Jimmy] Right now Carmella, acting like it's her moment.
[Corey] Over the last year.
Over the last year, when she had to come and face me
because I was the champion for most of the last year.
[commentators exclaiming]
[Jimmy] KO DO Carmella.
Shoulders down.
One, two, three, the Champ retains.
[bell dinging]
[announcer] And still, the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair.
[Saxton] We now know who Bianca Belair's next challenger will be at SummerSlam,
indeed, it will be "Big Time Becks."
[Jimmy] Who has the title in her hand.
[Corey] Where it belongs.
[Saxton] Bianca Belair is the Raw Women's Champion. We all know that.
[Corey] For now. Until one week from Saturday.
[Saxton] What an insult.
After a hard fought victory for Bianca Belair,
Disrespectful.
[Corey] Oops.
[Saxton] Ain't no "Oops". More head games By Becky Lynch.
[Corey] 26 seconds, Saxton.
Need I remind you?
[Jimmy] …reminded all of us that she plans to complete
her comeback story a week from Saturday at SummerSlam,
when Belair defends the Raw Women's Championship against "Big Time"
Becky Lynch.
[Saxton] I've got to cancel the cruise reservations I made for the morning
[Corey] It's the second time, second time I made big, grandiose
-celebration plans for the new-- -Put your phone away.
No. No I won't. Do your job.
Another big match we're looking forward to at SummerSlam,
two the best teams in WWE history. and the Usos and The Street Profits.
They collided last Friday on Smackdown!
But once again ended in controversy.
[Corey] Of course, we saw it at Money in the Bank.
The controversial ending of the matchup, more of the same this past Friday.
Official Charles Robinson would be incapacitated.
Opening the door for Dawkins to execute a cover.
But look at Jimmy Uso's right shoulder.
A second bad officiating call.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
Before this gets out of hand, there's nothing worse
than losing due to a questionable call,
which highlights exactly why we need
a special guest referee at SummerSlam.
I have officially found the the perfect man for the job.
[Saxton] And officially, the special guest referee for the undisputed Tag Team
title match will be Hall of Famer, Jeff Jarrett.
Ladies and gentlemen, joining me right now are The Street Profits.
Gentlemen, it has just been announced
that your guest referee at SummerSlam is Jeff Jarrett.
What are you expecting from the WWE Hall of Famer?
I mean, we gonna go from Nashville to Cash Ville.
You know, we've got WWE Hall of Famer himself as a special guest referee.
We're talking J-E-double F J-A- double R-E-double T.
Jeff Jarrett. Any slap nuts step out of line, [clears throat]
Usos, they gonna take a good talk to the bat.
Make no mistake about it.
Whether you're Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Borden or Jeff Bridges or even Cousin Jeff,
The Street Profits are walking out of Nashville, out of Cash Ville
the dirty, dirty SummerSlam weekend, as your new
WWE undisputed Tag Team Champions.
Ain't nothing change because we act a little strange.
Just because The Street Profits up--
[both] And we want the…
Well, well, well, who do we have here?
[booing]
Y'all should actually be glad that Omos wasn't named
special guest referee at SummerSlam,
considering what he did to you, Dawkins, you do remember, don't you?
Or are y'all sipping what's in them cups to try and forget
you getting spiked to the mat like a football in the end zone?
Hey, fam, that's tough talk coming from just the hype man.
You got a problem with The Profits,
you can step up anytime.
Spicy. Angelo's in a fighting mood. You know, I would I'd love
to tag up with Omos against you two.
But as you can see, I'm not properly attired.
But I do have someone that would love to step up.
So I'll do you a solid.
I'm gonna talk to Adam Pearce, and Imma make it official.
Dawkins, yeah, against Omos, yeah, tonight
one-on-one because y'all want the smoke.
[cackles]
[Jimmy] Dangerous proposition before SummerSlam.
[Saxton] I do not want to be in the shoes of Angelo Dawkins.
[Corey] Finally, what Mondays have been lacking, a little honesty.
[Saxton] Or the biggest liar.
[Jimmy] He can be duplicitous but can also host a K O show.
And what would make that more entertaining
than the original pro, Riddle, will be the guest
for KO on Raw, coming up, and it's live, next
[Corey] The SummerSlam is presented by Xfinity.
[Corey] Xfinity internet helps protect your devices at home
and now on the go with advanced security.
Unbeatable internet only from Xfinity.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the host of the KO show, Kevin Owens.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Kevin Owens Show is back on Monday night Raw.
I know you missed me.
But before I tell you all where I've been, let me bring out my guest,
please welcome Riddle.
[Saxton] I didn't necessarily miss the KO Show, but I do appreciate his guest.
The original pro, Riddle.
[Corey] I hate to break it to you, but even Riddle thinks you suck.
[Saxton] Unconfirmed.
[Corey] No, it's confirmed. I confirmed it with him at the bar the other day.
[Jimmy] Little always entertaining, missing his boy Randy,
but fighting with so much heart on behalf of RK-Bro.
[Saxton] We've seen another level of passion,
another level of intensity week after week for Riddle,
-[explosion] -[laughs] The flops are flying.
And so are the giraffes on the KO show.
[Jimmy] We're going to need his intensity for one week from Saturday
because Riddle will be on Seth "Freakin" Rollins and the lead up
to this match has been absolutely vicious.
[Saxton] To men that clearly have a large degree of disdain
for each other, that it's going to be an absolute battle at SummerSlam.
Bro.
I just want to say thanks for having me on the show.
But you know why I'm here.
You promised me a Mountain Dew Baja blast, bro.
So where is it?
I have no idea what you're talking about, but that's OK.
I'll explain… What do we do with this?
Do you just toss it? There we go.
Sometimes they get it.
It's all good. Let's have a seat. Riddle, first of all
thank you for being out here.
Now, I don't know anything about Mountain Dew, but here's why you're out here.
See, the last few weeks, I haven't been around,
I'm sure you know, maybe you didn't notice.
[sputters] You're in your own little world all the time.
But see, the last few weeks, I had to step away because
the last few months I was obsessed.
I nearly drove myself crazy, trying to prove that Ezekiel
and Elias were the same person.
Right? And a few weeks ago I came so close to absolutely losing my mind.
I realized I had to take a step back, and that's what I did.
I went on a nice little nature retreat.
Trying to find my inner peace, you know?
And while I was away, I would watch Raw every week,
and I realized there's something about you
that I admire.
See, you come out here and you're constantly cool
and calm and collected.
And look, I don't know if you have any kind of assistance in being that way.
But I thought I need to be more like that.
So that's what I did.
I centered myself, and I realized I don't care
about Ezekiel or Elias or Elrod.
I don't care. Look, I don't care about any of them.
In fact, I wish them the best.
Actually, that's not true. I hope they fail miserably.
But that's besides the point.
I don't care. They can do whatever they want.
The reason I called you out here is because of your match at SummerSlam.
And that match is against Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is somebody else who calls me great English.
in the last few months. You know why?
Because, Seth used to be my best friend.
At least he pretended to be my best friend.
You remember? Right?
And then he betrayed me.
He betrayed me.
He humiliated me.
He insulted me when I was fighting my heart out for him.
I lost my best friend that night,
just like you lost your best friend, Randy Orton.
[mouthing]
Look, I'm just saying the truth.
But it's okay, you see, because
everybody needs some backup, especially here in WWE.
And I realized the answer is right in front of me.
Riddle, look, man, RK-Bro was good.
But Bro-KO could be great.
[Corey] Bro-KO?
I love it.
I love the sound of it.
I love the potential.
And Tampa, Florida loves it, too.
Whoa!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Now, Kev, if I'm being honest, bro, and I'm honest, you're like the biggest liar.
I know, dude.
[Saxton] Facts.
Come on.
Look, I understand why you'd say that,
given my past, however, let me tell you, you can trust me
when I say I've turned over a new leaf.
I'm not that way anymore.
I will never.
Nobody will ever be able to call me a liar again.
Okay? If you give me time, I'll prove that to you.
Besides, you trusted Randy Orton.
The biggest snake in the history of WWE.
Nobody has ever been less trustworthy than Randy Orton.
You know what, Kevin, I don't like it when you talk
about my best friend, Randy, like that.
And if I would've known you'd take me out here
and talk to me like this, I wouldn't have came out here at all.
And now I'm done talking, bro.
[Jimmy] Uh-oh. You made a mistake now, KO.
-[voice over PA system] Turn it down! -[Jimmy] Uh-oh.
[KO] I had nothing to do with it.
I had nothing to do with that.
I have not--
[voice over PA system] Burn it down!
[Corey] We've got Riddle hearing voices in his head.
[all groaning]
[Jimmy] There he is. There's Seth Rollins with a stomp on Riddle.
[booing]
[Jimmy] Set up.
[Corey] Conniving smile on the face of the Visionary.
It wasn't a setup.
It was simply Rollins, outsmarting the Original Bro again,
Always going to do a little bit more
before and after a match.
-[Saxton] Rollins clearing the way-- -[Corey] Oh, no.
Riddle's is in all sorts of jeopardy right now.
[Jimmy] Again. Another stop.
You know what this is? This is a clear message from Seth Rollins.
to Riddle.
[Corey] It's a brilliant message from Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Just stomping all the malted hops and bong resin out of Riddle's skull.
And absolutely reveling in it.
[Saxton] Just the scene we will witness
at SummerSlam when Seth Rollins takes on Riddle.
[Jimmy] Clearly, Seth Rollins wants to make this a preview
of what's going to happen a week from Saturday.
Well, someone else has had to deal with
a lot of vicious attacks have been Rey Mysterio
and his son, Dominick, but they have been at the hands of the Judgment Day.
Dom, When are you going to learn?
Do you think your daddy can protect you?
Not only are you a bad leader, but you're a bad father.
Rey Mysterio,
emotionally fueled later on that night, in a matchup against Finn Bálor.
things seemed to be going Rey Mysterio's way until Bálor would
emphatically turn things around. And you've got to believe
this will go a long way towards the Judgment Day's
bragging rights
with Finn Bálor earning a victory
over the legendary Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] In the aftermath, Dominik Mysterio realized
he may be playing with fire.
[rock music playing]
[Jimmy] All rise.
The Judgment Day has arrived on Raw.
Huge question on everyone's mind.
Who might join next?
Well, they've had their eyes on Dominik Mysterio.
So when Rey Mysterio, takes on
Damian Priest of the Judgment Day,
he might be defending his family honor, and his family's future tonight.
[Saxton] Rey Mysterio looks to shut down
the manipulative rhetoric of the Judgment Day.
Next, on Raw.
[laughs cunningly]
[all booing]
[laughing maniacally]
Excuse me, Seth, I have to ask, why are you targeting Riddle?
[chuckling] It's simple.
Riddle is so stupid, it's driving me insane, and his stupidity
is quickly, very quickly, turning into arrogance, right?
Check it out. He's so stupid,
he's so stupid.
He thinks Randy Orton actually cared about him.
He's so stupid.
He turned down KO's help for SummerSlam.
Now, I'm a big fan of KO right now, but
that means Riddle actually thinks he can beat me at SummerSlam.
Doesn't get any stupider than that.
Hey! Who do you think you are?
Out there stomping Riddle, with no regard for his body,
Doing whatever you want, whenever you want.
That's not how it's gonna work.
Oh, really?
Tell me how it's gonna work.
Because guess what?
I'm Seth "Freaking" Rollins.
I do whatever I want, whenever I want, and nobody's gonna stop me.
I can stomp whoever I want.
I can stomp Riddle, just did it.
I can stomp you.
I can stop your stupid brothers.
Elias, Elrod, I can stomp your mama--
Don't you talk about my family.
Why don't you stay out of my business.
I'm in your business.
And business is about to pick up.
[laughing maniacally] I hope so.
[Jimmy] Seth Rollins, no problem accumulating enemies before SummerSlam.
[Corey] We're joined right now by the Judgment Day.
Damian Priest and Finn Bálor.
Rise.
[booing]
Rise for a prince, rise for a punisher.
Rise for the Judgment Day.
Last week, we chose not to injure Dominik Mysterio
because we believe he's going to make the right decision
and join us.
In fact, we guarantee that tonight Dominik will join the Judgment day.
Dominik, we've seen the look in your eyes.
We know you're just waiting to drop your father.
Well, do it.
Stop letting him hold you back.
He's stifling your potential.
Let us remind you, what happened the last time
some legend tried to stifle us.
Roll the footage.
You've taught us to get rid of any limitations
that was holding us back, which is you.
[Jimmy] It still remains unclear
what sort of limitation Edge provided for Bálor and Priest.
But Finn and Damian would destroy the founder of the Judgment Day.
[Saxton] A month later, it's still surreal to watch.
Edge recruited the likes of Damian Priest, the likes of Rhea Ripley
and this was how the WWE Hall of Famer was treated.
The perception of freedom is a powerful thing.
I can watch that video over and over and over again.
[Corey] The talking is done for the Judgment Day.
Finn hasn't seen that footage 3000 times like we have yet.
Mysterio is not backing down.
Not afraid, Rey Mysterio will get his chance to show
he's not afraid against Damian Priest, one on one, next.
[Jimmy] Welcome back to Rey Mysterio versus Damian Priest.
But right now, Rey Mysterio getting into it
with the other half of the Judgment Day, Finn Bálor.
[Corey] Rey Mysterio knows better than to take his eye off--
[Jimmy] Perfect shot!
One, two, kick out.
[Corey] That being the Punisher of the Judgment Day, Damian Priest.
But before the break, Mysterio would take high risk to the outside.
It paid off momentarily.
But as you can see, Priest with a right hand that just dropped Rey.
[Jimmy] Beautiful adjustment from Damian Priest
could've learned something from Finn Bálor, who defeated Rey last week.
[Corey] I still can't get over the assertion
we've heard a few moments ago from Damian Priest,
who believes that Dominic Mysterio will join the Judgment Day tonight.
[Jimmy] Guaranteed.
Guaranteed.
[Saxton] That Dominik Mysterio will join the Judgment Day.
[Corey] Give Judgment Day the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps Priest and Bálor know something we don't.
-[Saxton] Cover! -[referee] One, two…
[Corey] Maybe they've had a discussion with Dominik.
Maybe they've spent some time behind the scenes with Dominik.
-But here we see how Priest turns… -[Saxton] Oh!
…Rey's lights out and the complexion of this match around in his favor.
And Priest now just wearing down the greatest mask of all time.
[Saxton] I find it incredibly difficult to believe that Dominik Mysterio
would even entertain the thought of turning on his own father.
As tight as those two are, as tight as Dominik is to his father…
[Corey] Let's look at this objectively, Saxton.
-What has Rey Mysterio done for Dominik? -[commentators exclaims]
[Jimmy] To the cover again. Hooking the leg.
[Corey] Since Dominik arrived in WWE, it was a feel-good story.
They became the first ever father-son Tag Team champions in WWE.
But since then, what? Maybe Dominik needs the… image,
the illusion of freedom in his own mind to really maximize his skill.
Perhaps Dominik could be carrying Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] You don't think it's a little absurd
to discount three decades of experience that Rey Mysterio has?
I'm not discounting anything. I'm just saying,
if Dominik's not getting what he needs from his father,
perhaps he can get it somewhere else.
[Jimmy] And that has been the appeal of Damian Priest and Finn Bálor.
[Saxton] Like having two devils on your shoulder
rather than a devil and an angel.
[Corey] As I said before, that perception of freedom
that Priest and Bálor feel right now.
While It may not be a tangible subject for the rest of them,
-it served the Judgment Day very well. -[Jimmy] Oh!
Beautiful counter from the 20-year WWE veteran, Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] Whoa! Rey stuck with it. Great tenacity.
Buying himself some time to fight back into this matchup.
Priest all out of sorts for the moment.
[Jimmy] That experience, it will turn everything around for Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] Regardless of what The Judgment Day is saying,
I'm looking at a Dominik Mysterio right now
who is ultra-concerned about his father,
ultra-concerned about seeing Rey Mysterio succeed here against Priest.
[Corey] I wonder if Dominik Mysterio is excited about Logan Paul later tonight.
We all remember what happened in WrestleMania, right?
[Jimmy] Whoa! Look at that Hurricanrana counter from Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] Oh, my goodness.
So quick. That's how quickly Mysterio can change the complexion of the match.
Tremendous impact of Priest connecting with the ring post,
and now, Rey with a little room to make something happen from the top rope!
-Rey Mysterio! -[Jimmy] The greatest luchador of all time
off the top rope!
-[Corey] This is what Priest had to avoid! -[Jimmy exclaims]
[Jimmy] To the cover!
Quick kick out from Damian Priest.
[Corey] Every opponent of Rey Mysterio
steps into the ring with the same strategy.
You don't want to let Rey push the pace,
but Rey figures out a way each and every time.
[Jimmy] And Damian Priest, his first time in the ring,
one-on-one with Rey Mysterio.
Oh! Having to learn on the job with moves like that!
-[Saxton] Tremendous counter by Mysterio. -[Jimmy] To the cover.
-Trying to get it over with. -[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] A kick out, but a lot more time on that kick out.
-Almost got to three. -[Corey] Rey able to turn this maneuver
into his own favor, and DDT-spiking Priest.
But Rey did not have enough to finish the job just yet.
[Saxton] Think about what it does to the credibility--
-Uh-oh. -[Jimmy] Dial it up!
[Saxton] Damian-- Watch Finn Bálor. Finn Bálor on the apron.
[Corey] Here comes Dominik.
[Jimmy exclaims]
-[Saxton exclaiming] -[Corey] Oh, my God!
Oh! Mysterio drop-kicking Bálor into his own son.
[Saxton] And now, Priest. We're going to try this one more time.
[Jimmy] Now has Damian Priest one-on-one and lined up.
-No! -[Corey] Good night!
[Saxton] To the cover. One, two…
[commentators exclaim]
[Saxton] Extremely close call for Damian Priest.
Yet not enough to put Rey Mysterio away. Take another look.
Mysterio, ooh, was looking for the 619,
-and a near victory for The Punisher. -[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] Damian Priest, the first acolyte, the first disciple of The Judgment Day.
[Corey] He's about to take a ride south of heaven. Mysterio able to counter!
[Saxton] For the third time! Yes!
[Corey] Oh! This time, it hits right between the eyes!
[Saxton] Rey Mysterio tasting victory at this moment.
[Corey] Seated Senton once again. But Priest has other plans.
-Look at the power of Damian Priest! -[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
[Saxton] This is not going to end well for Rey Mysterio!
[Jimmy exclaims]
God! Shoulders down. This has got to be it.
-[referee] One, two three… -[Jimmy] And it is!
-Huge win for Damian Priest. -[bell rings]
[rock music playing]
[ring announcer] Here is your winner. Damian Priest!
[Corey] We've said it before. We'll say it again. Just because you don't agree
-with what Judgment Day are preaching, -[Saxton] Come on.
-does not make it any less true. -[crowd booing]
[Saxton] The match is over.
Damian Priest securing the victory over Rey Mysterio. But…
[Jimmy] Oh, no.
[Saxton] Clearly, The Judgment Day is not done yet.
-[Saxton sputters] That's not… -[Corey] Are you going to stop 'em?
Are you going to stop 'em, Byron?
[Saxton] Obviously, I can't do anything.
[Jimmy] They can't do this to a legend like Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] This happened to Edge, and it's going to happen to Rey.
Dominik, I told you,
you're joining The Judgment Day tonight!
[crowd booing]
Or we take his head off.
[Saxton] That's not right. You can't put Dominik in this predicament.
-[Corey] Sure you can. -[Finn grunting]
Sometimes, might makes right.
I guess…
[Dominik] Please, stop! Stop, please!
-I'll join, just stop! -[Damian] What was that?
-[Dominik] Stop this. -What was that?
Just stop. I said I'll join. Just stop.
Come here.
Why don't you tell the world what you just said to us?
Just stop. I'll join The Judgment Day.
[crowd cheering]
He said he'll join. You hear that?
Now he wants to join.
Hey, Dom,
it doesn't work that way.
-[Finn yelling] -[commentators exclaiming]
[Corey] No remorse from The Judgment Day. Get out of there, Rey!
[Saxton] Dominik Mysterio was just trying to protect Rey Mysterio,
trying to protect his father.
[Jimmy] All the talk about recruiting Dominik Mysterio…
[Corey] A truly sadistic display from Priest and Bálor. The Judgment Day.
[Saxton] It's remorseless and it's sick.
[Corey] When Dominik said he was going to join,
Finn and Priest obviously realized that wasn't true.
Dominik wasn't going to do it.
Dominik was just trying to save his old man's hide.
[Saxton] Exactly. What does that tell you?
It tells you how loyal Dominik Mysterio is to his father, Rey Mysterio.
Despite what The Judgment Day would like you to believe.
Pure dominance from The Judgment day,
and it's not going to slow down anytime soon.
What we've just seen is a willingness of The Judgment Day
to do anything to get an advantage. We saw that earlier tonight as well
from Seth "Freakin" Rollins on The KO Show.
No, no. I had nothing to do with that.
-I have nothing-- Dude… -[rock music playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Saxton] We heard a series
of distractions with the theme song of Seth Rollins.
All a setup to get ambushed from behind.
Rollins delivering a stomp to Riddle, but he wasn't done yet.
[Corey] The Visionary would deliver The Exclamation Point. Boom!
Face-first in the center of the ring.
Gentlemen, I've sent a few text messages since this occurred.
I can assure you Kevin Owens had nothing to do with this situation.
[Saxton] Yeah, I'm sure Kevin Owens was innocent.
[rock music playing]
[fireworks exploding]
[Jimmy] KO may or may not be innocent, but a very guilty party
right now making his way to the ring.
[Saxton] Look at how proud of himself he is. Thrilled.
[crowd booing]
[Corey] Goofy dance.
[bell rings]
[ring announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
introducing first from Davenport, Iowa,
weighing in at 217 pounds,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
[Jimmy] Riding high, full of confidence tonight.
[Saxton] Seth Rollins made it clear. He believes he can do whatever he wants
to whomever he wants.
[Corey] Has anyone proven him wrong yet?
Well, perhaps that will happen tonight
because Ezekiel has taken offense to Rollins's actions,
and now, Ezekiel is set to go one-on-one
with The Visionary, with The Revolutionary Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
It is next. It is live on RAW.
[Corey] I hope Seth stops Elrod.
[eerie music playing]
[Jimmy] There's a man in the ring right now with mayhem on his mind.
The Visionary, The Revolutionary, always with a smile.
[Saxton] Smarmy smile. But we do know it's official.
A week from Saturday, at SummerSlam, Seth "Freakin" Rollins
will go one-on-one with the man who he called
"actually stupid enough to believe and he can beat him."
Of course, that would be The Original Bro, Riddle,
who's going to have something to say about a week from Saturday.
[rock music playing]
[Jimmy] And someone who had Riddle's back tonight.
[ring announcer] And his opponent, Ezekiel!
[Jimmy] That's right. He had some choice words for Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
And Seth "Freakin" Rollins always looking for an edge to make a match personal.
We got that on America's birthday.
[indistinct chatter]
-[ketchup squirts] -Whoa! Whoa! Whoa…
[man] Uh-oh. That's gonna stain.
[Corey] Well, as a result of the condiment misplacement,
Zeke and Rollins would go one-on-one,
and Zeke would come close, but-- Boom!
His lights would be stomped out by Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
-[bell rings] -Much like we're about to see again.
[Saxton] Well, you have to admit, we saw an incredible performance by Ezekiel.
He nearly had Rollins's number on more than one occasion in that match.
[Corey] Who lost the big game last year, Saxton?
I don't know either, because it doesn't matter.
-[bell rings] -[Saxton] It's gonna matter tonight
if Ezekiel learns from his mistakes.
[Jimmy] We are underway, Ezekiel versus Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
And Seth Rollins has Riddle coming up a week from Saturday at SummerSlam.
But a very dangerous opponent in front of him now. Oh…
[Saxton] And look, good on Ezekiel for not being intimidated by Seth Rollins
for speaking up, for allowing Zeke to speak,
and getting in the face of Rollins and saying,
"Hey, what you did to Riddle, it was wrong."
[Jimmy] Remember, after the match on July 4th,
Seth Rollins came in the ring for another stomp,
interrupted by an RKO from Riddle.
So, Ezekiel and Riddle, a history of looking out for one another.
[Corey] That's because Ezekiel's own brothers can't stand him.
[Saxton] That's not true.
[Corey] I heard Elrod's really, really hard to deal with.
-[Saxton] I'd love to meet Elrod. -[Corey] Bet you would.
[Jimmy] Ezekiel goes back to the headlock over and over. Great counter!
And counter to the counter.
[Corey] Basically, extremely effective from Ezekiel.
[Jimmy] He's shown great strength. We've seen that from Ezekiel
Able to lift just about everyone,
press them right over his head.
[Corey] We've seen some very impressive feats of power
from Ezekiel in a short time here on Monday Night RAW.
Just a matter of putting all the pieces together.
I genuinely believe that Ezekiel has great potential.
But it's not going to start at Seth's expense.
[Jimmy] Yeah, incredible physical talent.
[Saxton] Never say never. On any given night, upsets can happen.
We've seen it countless times over the years.
This could be Ezekiel's night. You just never know.
[Corey] And you could get a date, but we both know that's not going to happen.
[Jimmy] And Ezekiel right now, slowing down the pace,
trying to eke the energy out of Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
They're counting down the minutes to Logan Paul here on Miz TV.
-[Jimmy exclaims] -[Corey] It's going to be epic!
I actually cannot wait to see the dynamic
when Logan Paul and the Miz are in the same ring at the same time
-later on tonight. -[Jimmy] And we can't see-- [exclaims]
[Corey] Rollins has had enough and just switched to a different gear now,
bringing the fight to Elias's baby brother.
[Saxton] Yeah. Ezekiel's doing a good job of frustrating Seth Rollins a little bit.
[Jimmy] Also Ezekiel tired of having everything questioned by Kevin Owens.
He's like he's moved on past that.
[Corey] Did you just compliment Ezekiel for ticking Seth Rollins off
as Rollins beats the hell out of him in the corner?
I'm just clarifying, Saxton if that's what you're watching, too.
[Saxton] Sometimes, emotionally, you could become unraveled
and it becomes a disadvantage for you.
[Corey] Sounds like somebody who's been beaten up their whole life.
Moral victories don't count in actual fist fights.
[Saxton] The chase is on now. Ezekiel--
-[commentators exclaim] -[Corey] The height!
[Jimmy] Talked about the strength of Ezekiel. On display right there.
[Corey] Zeke sent to the outside, and here comes!
The Visionary!
-[Saxton] Oh, no, no. -[Jimmy] Oh, stopped by Ezekiel.
[Saxton chuckles] Great wherewithal from Ezekiel.
[Jimmy] Seth Rollins on a full run.
[Saxton] Ezekiel-- Oh my-- [chuckles] Climbing up to the top.
Ezekiel could pull this off!
[Ezekiel groans]
[Jimmy] Oh, about to stop the momentum heading into SummerSlam for Seth Rollins,
but great counter by The Visionary.
-[Saxton] This is a hazardous… -[commentators exclaim]
-[Corey] To the gallows we go! -[Jimmy] Knee to back of the skull!
[Jimmy] If Seth "Freakin" Rollins thought he was going to have
an easy time with Ezekiel, he's finding out
that is not the case tonight.
[Saxton] Into deep waters with Ezekiel now.
You wonder if maybe Rollins was looking ahead to Riddle,
looking ahead to SummerSlam and underestimating Ezekiel here tonight.
[Jimmy] Perhaps, underestimate how fired up Zeke would be! Ooh!
-Shoulders down! -[referee] One, two…
[commentators exclaim, chuckle]
[Jimmy] Close to three. Just in time for Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Corey] Still to come tonight. Mr. Money in the Bank!
Theory is in the house,
and he will go one-on-one with the phenomenal AJ Styles.
You are not you're going to want to miss that for any reason.
Yeah. The upstart versus the veteran…
[laughing] Look at the power of Ezekiel.
[Saxton] Able to slip behind Ezekiel.
Ezekiel has other plans in mind here.
-[Jimmy] Cradle! -[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] Kickout from Ezek-- Oh!
-[referee] One, two… -Cover from Seth Rollins,
but not quite three. Still some fight left in Ezekiel.
[Saxton] Ezekiel barely able to pop up the left shoulder. Watch this again.
Kick-- Boom! Right there to the jaw.
Watch the eyes of Ezekiel.
That was nearly the knockout blow.
And that's been the story tonight.
[Jimmy] Seth "Freakin" Rollins willing to kick, stomp, and fight his way
through anything to get an advantage.
[Saxton] What is going through the mind of Rollins as of right now?
[Jimmy] Had him in his sights for the stomp, beautiful counter. Roll up!
[referee] One, two…
Another close call for Ezekiel here,
who has given himself every chance in the book…
-[Jimmy] Back slide! -[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] Once again, Seth Rollins finding the will to get out…
[Saxton] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no! Ezekiel cut Rollins!
[Corey] That was so clever. Looking for a victory roll, shoulders down!
[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] Pulling every trick in the book to try and finish this match.
But Zeke with the counter power bomb!
-[referee] One, two… -[Saxton] Is that enough?
-[commentators exclaim] -[Jimmy] Oh, man.
[Corey] Impressive pinning combination by Ezekiel,
stacking Seth Rollins high on Seth's own shoulders.
But it was not enough to finish the job.
Let's look at this power bomb once again.
Great pinning predicament. Perhaps Ezekiel could have benefited
by holding Rollins's wrists or biceps down.
But beyond that, very well executed.
Rollins just with too much left in the tank.
[Saxton] Corey, I mean… I think you're probably a little surprised.
that Ezekiel has pushed Rollins this far.
[Corey] I'm not surprised at all.
I said at the beginning of the match how impressed I've been with Ezekiel.
Just that Ezekiel doesn't have necessarily what it takes yet to knock down
someone the caliber of Seth Rollins, that's all.
Don't turn this into something it's not. You sound like Twitter.
[Jimmy] He's been chopping Seth Rollins down.
Hasn't been able to quite seal the deal.
[Corey] Shot right between the eyes, and Zeke answers with a right of his own.
[Jimmy] The Veteran, Seth Rollins, starting to fade,
-Boom! -[commentators exclaim]
[Corey] And just extinguished Zeke's light.
That is how good Seth "Freakin" Rollins is.
[Saxton] And nobody on this planet would discount the talent
-and the credentials of Seth Rollins! -[Jimmy] Whoa!
[wrestlers grunting]
[Corey] It's a quote made famous by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
But it applies to Rollins in the ring from bell to bell.
-When you think-- Oh, wait a minute! -[Jimmy exclaims]
-[Corey] Oh, no! -[Jimmy] Counter knee!
-[Saxton] Zeke's got it! Ezekiel's got it! -[Jimmy] One, two… Oh!
[Corey] As I started to say just when-- [Saxton chuckles] Oh, man.
[Corey] You think you've figured out the answer to Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
He changes the questions. But Ezekiel making me look foolish.
Take a look at this.
Rollins soaring through the sky. Pow!
Right into the knee of a waiting Ezekiel.
But was that Zeke's best shot?
Where does Ezekiel go from here?
[Jimmy] That's where frustration starts setting in,
fatigue starts setting in.
[Saxton] I think Ezekiel's looked past the frustration
and realized he's got to keep on moving.
[Corey] I think Zeke's got a little bit left in the tank.
Maybe a little bit more sluggish than before. But…
[Saxton] Rollins back up!
Look at the quickness, the catlike quickness of Rollins!
[Jimmy] Oh, my God! Super-plex!
-[Saxton] Rollins hold on! -[Jimmy exclaims]
-[Corey] Falcon Arrow. Shoulders down. -[referee, crowd] One, two…
-[Jimmy exclaims] -[Saxton] Still-- Still not enough
-to put Ezekiel away! -[Corey] Are you kidding me?
-This will definitely end it. -[Saxton] Maybe not.
[Jimmy sputters]
-Ezekiel looking for something… -[Corey] Looking for the Pedigree.
-[Saxton] Oh, Ezekiel held on! -[referee] One, two…
-[Saxton] Oh, man. -[wrestlers grunting]
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
Vicious shot to the back of the head,
-and now, stomp from Seth Rollins! -Seth Rollins!
To the cover. One, two, three!
-[bell rings] -[crowd cheering]
[rock music playing]
[ring announcer] Here's your winner. Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
[Corey] Rollins may be a little worse for wear tonight.
Seth knows for sure he was in a fight.
Ezekiel brought it tonight, and no doubt, a week from this Saturday,
The Original Bro, Riddle, will bring it to SummerSlam
as Riddle and Rollins collide one-on-one,
streaming live on Peacock.
[Jimmy] All about momentum right now for Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
He's smiling because he has all.
But one thing we saw.
Last week, of course. Omos and the Usos
versus the Street Profits and R-Truth,
a six-man Tag.
Omos looking like he could take on six men all by himself.
[Corey] If you see, R-Truth paying homage to John Cena,
and the 7-foot-3 Nigerian giant
would make his presence felt in agonizing fashion.
Just when it seemed like Angelo Dawkins had things in control,
-boom! AD nearly put through the ring, -[MVP shouting nearby]
courtesy of Omos, much to the delight of MVP.
[music playing]
-Just smell it. Smash them. -[Omos grunting]
-Get in the zone. -[man] Yeah.
-[Jey] Yes, sir. -Hey.
7-foot-3, 403 pounds.
Damn, Us!
They ain't got no chance with you tonight.
I mean, is he even gonna make it to SummerSlam, Us?
Even if we do, huh, big Omos gonna make sure
it's real easy to beat him, again.
Even if the special guest referee is Jeff Jarrett.
-Yeah. -Hey, Us, let's go get
-some front row seats… -Yeah.
and watch this Omos beatdown.
Man, I'm with that.
I'll see you out there, Us.
All right, dude. I'll see you out there, too.
Let's go, bruh!
You can do this, man. I feel it!
[Corey] I gotta agree with the champ.
What kind of condition will Dawkins be in after this battle against Omos?
[hip-hop music playing]
[ring announcer] Please welcome
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions,
Jimmy and Jey,
the Usos!
[Corey] "We the ones."
[Saxton] Jimmy and Jey Uso vowing to have a front-row seat
to the potential destruction of Angelo Dawkins,
courtesy of the Nigerian Giant, Omos.
[Corey] Nothing wrong with doing a little scouting before SummerSlam.
[Jimmy] What's a bad miracle?
Oscar-winner, Jordan Peele,
disrupted and redefined modern horror with Get Out, and then, Us.
Now, he re-imagines the summer movie with a new pop nightmare,
the experimental thriller, Nope.
Watch Nope, only in theaters, Friday.
[Corey] It's experimental and experiential.
I can't wait to get eyes on that, just like I can't wait
to get eyes on what's coming up next.
[Saxton] And later, the Street Profits will take on the Usos
for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team title at SummerSlam.
But what kind of condition will Dawkins be in
when he takes on Omos? Next.
[Jimmy] RAW's coming to you from Tampa, Florida tonight,
and it's a great time to be a fan of sports in Tampa.
Of course, the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Buccaneers getting Tom Brady back.
But a legend in the ring that has had trouble tonight,
Rey Mysterio, at the hands of Judgment Day.
[Corey] Some great back-and-forth contest.
Rey Mysterio, one-on-one with Damian Priest of The Judgment Day.
But ultimately, the power of The Punisher of The Judgment Day
would prove to be too much for Mysterio.
Boom! Driving Rey into the canvas
before earning a massive victory,
for not only himself but The Judgment Day.
-[hip-hop music playing] -[Jimmy] Well, you can't deny
the legend of Rey Mysterio,
and that's what we'll celebrate next week
on Monday Night RAW, live from Madison Square Garden.
Rey Mysterio's 20th anniversary celebration.
[Saxton] The world's most famous arena
playing host to the 20th anniversary celebration
of one of the world's most famous in-ring superstars.
Twenty years of celebration for an incredible career
-for the one and only-- -[overlapping speech]
[Saxton] Why are you interrupting me all the time?
[Corey] Because I hope they're able to sew whatever's left of Rey back together…
[Saxton] You've got nothing good to say, either. Just keep your mouth shut.
The world just saw first-hand that, for all of Dominik Mysterio's potential,
he's just not made of the right stuff.
Today, Dom, congratulations, you failed the test.
Dom, we saw right through you, man.
We knew the only reason you joined The Judgment Day
was to save your dad.
Instead of saving him, you should have grabbed the chair
and cracked his skull
just like we cracked Edge's skull when he got in our way.
Next week, Madison Square Garden,
20th anniversary of your father being here in the WWE,
we finish what we started.
The Mysterios fall, and The Judgment Day will rise.
[crowd booing]
[Corey] That clear enough for you?
[Saxton] Imagine what The Judgment Day has planned for Rey Mysterio next week.
[Corey] Well, we know what these two have planned one week from Saturday.
The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Jimmy and Jey Uso,
will defend yet again against Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins,
The Street Profits, with a very special guest referee,
WWE Hall of Famer,
J-E-Double F-J-A-Double R-E-Double T.
Saxton, hit me with it. Ain't I great? [laughs]
-[Saxton] I hope your flight gets delayed. -[bell rings]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by MVP.
Standing at 7-feet-3-inches,
weighing in at 403 pounds,
the Nigerian Giant,
Omos!
[Jimmy] There's a reason the Usos are so excited about Omos.
They know about the Beatdown he can lay on their future opponent tonight.
A very concerning situation for Angelo Dawkins.
[Montez panting]
Ready, ready, ready…
You ready? We up! You up? You know why?
[both] Because the Street Profits are up,
and we want the smoke!
Locked in! Let's go, baby!
[Saxton] I love the energy. I love the intensity.
Angelo Dawkins of Street Profits is gonna need every bit of that.
-[music playing] -[ring announcer] And his opponent,
accompanied to the ring by Montez Ford,
representing The Street Profits,
Angelo Dawkins!
[Corey] I, of all people, have been on the record
singing the praises of both Street Profits,
particularly Angelo Dawkins recently.
But let's be honest with ourselves.
Tonight, there ain't no way Dawkins is getting past Omos.
And it may be Angelo Dawkins they have to sew together, stitch up, superglue,
and roll to the ring at SummerSlam.
[Saxton] Well, listen, it's not the wisest decision, but I get it.
I mean, the Street Profits, they're amped up.
They're excited about SummerSlam, they're feeling themselves,
they're feeling confident.
But is that confidence misplaced for Dawkins? We're going to find out.
[Jimmy] But, gentlemen, if Angelo Dawkins can defeat Omos in front of the Usos,
-the message will send… -[Saxton] Oh, it's huge.
-[Jimmy] Yeah. -[Corey] Jimmy and Jey
are out here ringside to enjoy the damage that Omos will
undoubtedly inflict on one half of their SummerSlam opposition.
[Saxton] Hey, listen. Jimmy and Jey, I guarantee you,
-they took care of Omos after last week. -[indistinct chatter]
-I wouldn't be surprised… -[doorbell rings]
if Omos' payday was a little heftier than usual.
Because when you do right by The Bloodline,
-good things can happen. -[Jimmy] And MVP has supported Omos.
[sputters] Not joining The Bloodline, but aligning Omos with The Bloodline.
[Corey] This is exactly what we expect. What the hell is Montez Ford doing?
I mean, I don't blame 'Tez, but…
-[Saxton] Listen, I… -[Corey] Montez got to be careful,
-he's going to get AD disqualified. -[Jimmy] Doing everything he can
-to distract Omos. -[Corey] Oh!
[Saxton] And here comes Dawkins now,
-doing his best against a 7-foot-3… -[commentators exclaim]
…Nigerian Giant.
[Montez yelling]
[Jimmy] When you interviewed--
Montez once again…
-[Saxton] Listen… -[Montez yells]
Montez now just trying to ensure that
-Dawkins does leave here in one piece. -[Jimmy exclaims]
[Saxton] I mean, Montez Ford may be solely responsible
for scraping Dawkins off the mat.
We know how physically impressive Montez Ford is,
and he looks like an annoying little gnat next to Omos.
[Jimmy] Oh! Beautiful move, getting out of the way just in time.
-Omos hung up on the ropes. -[Saxton] Huge opening right now.
Dawkins trying to light up Omos!
[Jimmy] Trying to use his speed, his athleticism,
which has grown by leaps and bounds the last couple of months.
-[Corey] Dawkins is bringing it. We… -[commentators exclaim]
Montez said AD is locked in tonight and it certainly looks to be the case.
Can Dawkins pull off a miracle?
[referee] [yells] Ring the bell!
-[bell rings] -[Jimmy] Now, MVP with the trip.
-Referee sees the disqualification! -[crowd booing]
[Saxton] That was the right call.
[Corey] Well, Montez got away with it.
[Saxton] The official didn't see it, Corey.
[Jimmy] And that's exactly what MVP is saying.
[indistinct chatter]
[Saxton] And so, Dawkins is your winner by disqualification.
MVP is irate.
This has to be considered a gigantic upset.
Hold on, gentlemen. Hold on just a second.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Look, I can see everybody is upset,
but I think I have a working solution.
MVP, earlier tonight, I could have swore
I heard you say that you would love to team with Omos
against The Street Profits.
[crowd cheering]
Well, don't say you never get what you want.
Because you're going to get it right now.
It is official. Referee, get them in their corners and ring the bell
because we're going to have a tag team match
-and we're going to have it right now! -[Corey] This is not fair
-No way. -[Saxton] It's official, and it's next!
It's not fair!
[indistinct chatter]
[Jimmy] Well, it's just been made official.
-Street Profits versus Omos and MVP. -[bell rings]
[Jimmy] MVP in the corner in his suit.
[Saxton] Whoa, whoa! What-- Jimmy Uso.
[Corey] MVP did not come to ringside to compete tonight.
MVP was out here in a managerial role.
And Adam Pearce came out and demanded that MVP take part in a tag team match!
This is not fair.
[Saxton] MVP should not have interfered in the match.
MVP is out here in a $4,000 custom-made suit.
His shoes are about a grand. They're all going to be ruined.
[Jimmy] And also, if you're Angelo Dawkins,
he kind of got away with one against Omos.
He won by this disqualification.
Right now, it's almost out of the frying pan, into the fire.
-Gotta take him on again. -[Corey] Well, we wa--
We watched Montez Ford interfere,
understandably so, on his partner's behalf.
-Also illegal. -[Jimmy] Yes. Yes. Right.
If we're being honest.
And now, Omos with an opportunity to crush Dawkins in the corner.
MVP got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
-I'll admit it. -[Omos roars]
[Jimmy] But right before SummerSlam,
where The Street Profits will be taking on the Usos who are ringside…
[Saxton] Usos are loving every second of this because they know Omos and MVP
have a prime opportunity to soften up their challengers.
[Jimmy] But Adam Pearce making this a tag match
could mean Angelo Dawkins takes a longer beating.
[Corey] Hey, Us, you guys enjoying this?
[Uso] Hell, yeah, homes. You see this beatdown?
They ain't making it to SummerSlam.
-[Saxton] That was out there. -[Corey] You guys catch all that?
-[Uso] That's what I'm talking about. -[Saxton] Yeah, we're not deaf.
-Shit. -[indistinct chatter]
[Corey] I mean, look-- Think of this.
We know how physically imposing and terrifying Omos is.
Now, you've got the tutelage of MVP, one of the greatest brains in the game.
And you got the Usos on the outside cheering you on.
I mean, I think there's nobody that Omos can't beat tonight.
[Jimmy] The odds are certainly stacked against The Street Profits right now.
Angelo Dawkins, hammered by MVP.
[Corey] MVP throwing hands and looking damn fine doing it.
[Saxton] Dawkins returning some of those hands.
[commentators exclaim]
-[Corey] Oh! Look at this. -[Jimmy] Great knee
from the former United States champion.
[Corey] "Hey, guys, I'm not going for the cover."
-[crowd booing] -[Corey] Feeling it.
[Saxton] If he could actually pull this off…
-[exclaims] -[crowd exclaims]
-[commentators exclaim] -[Jimmy] Apparently so.
-[Corey] To the cover. One… -[Angelo grunts]
-[Saxton] Only one? -[Jimmy] Just a one count.
[Corey] I was talking to earlier today, and he spoke of the importance
that this particular arena in Tampa was to his career,
to the rise of MVP.
Imagine what this would I feel like for 'P, a little trip down memory lane.
-[commentators] Oh! -[Corey] Damn it, that's not what I meant.
[Saxton] He might not remember this night.
[Jimmy] MVP was feeling it until that counter shot from Angelo Dawkins.
He's still feeling it.
He's feeling five of Dawkins's knuckles across the side of his head.
[Jimmy] Angelo Dawkins now trying to get to Montez Ford.
-Omos waiting for the tag. -[commentators exclaim]
-[Jimmy] And Montez Ford is in first! -[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] Ford has a daunting task
-of dealing with Omos. -[Jimmy] I take that back.
Oh!
[Saxton] Wisely using his quickness, now ascending to the top rope.
-High risk! Oh! -[Saxton] Yikes.
[Jimmy] Caught like a toy!
[Saxton] Plans derailed.
[MVP] You got him good!
-Omos… -[Jimmy] From bad to--
-[commentators exclaim] -[Montez laughs]
[Saxton] Great agility by Ford, landing on his feet.
[commentators exclaim]
[Jimmy] Enzugiri over the top! Let's make it another one!
Omos while still on his feet.
[commentators exclaim]
[Corey] And the same can no longer be said for Montez.
-[Omos roars] -[Corey] Oh! Good God!
[Jimmy] Forget it. To the cover. One, two-- Oh, just in time.
Angelo Dawkins, and now, MVP in the ring.
[Saxton] Breaking down a little bit. MVP sent to the outside by Angelo Dawkins.
[Corey] Now, it's all legal, isn't it?
-[wrestlers grunting] -[commentators exclaim]
[Jimmy] The two legal men are Montez Ford and--
[Corey] Oh! It's MVP, right into the Usos!
[Saxton] And now, here come Jimmy and Jey!
[Corey] That's 'cause the official has no idea what's happening behind him!
Double teamed by the Profits!
-Double Super Kicks! -[Saxton] Super Kick! Omos is down!
-[Corey] Oh, no! Yes! -[Saxton] Montez is going up!
[Jimmy] Raise the roof here in Tampa!
-[Saxton] From the heavens! -[Jimmy exclaims]
-One! Oh… -[Saxton] Oh, my goodness.
-Barely one. -[Saxton] Ford is in shock.
[Corey] We all are.
How many opponents has Montez Ford disposed of
-with that very maneuver, -[Saxton] Countless.
[Corey] that splash from the heavens?
And Omos kicked out at one.
[sputters] What do you do right now if you're Montez Ford?
-That was probably your best shot! -[Corey] You pray, you run,
you quit? I don't know.
[Saxton] Ford going up again. I don't know…
-[Corey] Try it one more time! -That's Jey Uso from behind!
-[bell rings] -[Corey] And is it-- Oh…
This is going to force another disqualification.
-[crowd booing] -[Saxton] These four superstars
don't care.
[Corey] Well, we need Jeff Jarrett tonight.
We may need Jeff Jarrett every day between now
and a week from Saturday, at SummerSlam.
[Saxton] Similar to what we saw on Friday Night SmackDown.
Now, Omos takes grip of Dawkins.
[Corey] Oh, no.
[Jimmy] Omos had the Street Profits, sends 'em right through the canvas!
[Corey] We may need Jeff. We may need Jerry.
Find a Dundee.
We may need half of Nashville to keep the order.
-[imperceptible] -[crowd booing]
[Jimmy] To your point, Corey, it looks like an army
stacked against The Street Profits.
[Saxton] Well, the man who can tame Omos is MVP.
[music playing]
We gotta believe the Usos are thrilled
with the job completed by the Nigerian Giant.
[Corey] Yeah. You may need to figure out whatever happened to the roadie.
This is the-- We're gonna need every hand we can get.
We're gonna need multiple officials.
[Jimmy] Well, right now, the Usos
-standing over the Street Profits. -[crowd continues booing]
-[hip-hop music playing] -Will that be the case
one week from Saturday, gentlemen?
[Saxton] Three hundred sixty six days and counting
as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions,
the Usos, a week from Saturday
defend against the Street Profits at SummerSlam!
And Jeff Jarrett is the special guest referee.
[Corey] But tonight, you give the assist to Omos.
Well, things are certainly heating up between the Usos
and The Street Profits heading into SummerSlam.
And now, please welcome my--
[crowd cheering]
Boo!
Okay, then.
Well, now, my guest will host Logan Paul later tonight on Miz TV.
Please welcome the Miz.
[crowd cheering]
Miz, what can we expect from Logan Paul on Miz TV?
I would say this. That was unexpected.
And if I'm being honest, I think he likes you.
And to answer your question, a great host never reveals
any of the surprises he has planned.
I like to think that Logan Paul has come to his senses
withdrawn his challenge to face me at SummerSlam,
and then, we can become
WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions!
Yes. But what would happen if Logan Paul didn't withdraw his challenge?
Well in that scenario,
which seems more likely,
Logan Paul would become my enemy.
And if he didn't like being my tag team partner,
tonight he'll find out exactly why he won't like being my opponent.
[music playing]
[Saxton] I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Logan Paul is not going to
"Come to his senses and retract his previous statement."
[Corey] There's still time. Relax.
[Jimmy] The man with all the momentum in the world!
Mr. Money in the Bank.
[bell rings]
[ring announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, he is the youngest
Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history,
Theory!
[Corey] If Theory looks like a man with all the confidence in the world,
it's because he is a man with all the confidence in the world!
Confidence he has earned,
not to mention what's contained in the briefcase.
He is so proudly clutching a contract for a guaranteed title opportunity
and a time and place of his choosing.
[Jimmy] Well, Theory has a lot of things coming up,
especially one week from Saturday.
He's taking on Bobby Lashley, the United States Championship.
He's got to put that behind him tonight
when he takes on The Veteran, The Phenomenal One,
AJ Styles.
It's youth versus experience next on Monday Night RAW.
Mr. Money in the Bank
all day.
[Saxton] We welcome you to the biggest party of the summer.
♪ I live a life on the edge Party like a rock star ♪
♪ Pedal to the floor And it doesn't matter how far ♪
♪ Ain't nobody stopping me ♪
[Corey] We welcome you to SummerSlam!
[indistinct lyrics]
♪ Somebody gonna get it tonight ♪
♪ I'm the cold cash money Keep making mistakes ♪
♪ Been it all, back for more Got what it takes ♪
♪ Slap yourself, get it straight Breaking the frauds ♪
♪ Superman, I'm a man of God ♪
♪ Don't tell me that you want a piece ♪
♪ Ain't nobody stopping me ♪
♪ I live a life on the edge Party like a rock star ♪
♪ Pedal to the floor And it doesn't matter how far ♪
♪ Ain't nobody stopping me ♪
♪ Sit down! ♪
[Jimmy] It's 12 days away, SummerSlam.
-And this man, Theory, -[Theory speaking indistinctly]
wants to ride the momentum of Money in the Bank.
Another great performance.
[Corey] It's not going to be an easy task as Theory attempts to regain
the United States Championship he so proudly wore
from the waist of The Almighty.
Bobby Lashley, the champion,
defends against Theory, Mr. Money in the Bank, The Challenger
a week from Saturday in Nashville at Nissan Stadium.
Not to mention what Theory may have planned for the event.
I wipe the matt clean with AJ Styles tonight.
I've got a few things I need to address.
We are on the cusp
of literally the biggest SummerSlam of all time.
[crowd] [chanting] What?
And why is that?
Because I am going to take back my United States Championship from Bobby Lashley.
And then, I'm gonna…
cash in my Money in the Bank contract
on whatever is left of either Roman Reigns
-or Brock Lesnar after their… -[crowd] [continues chanting] What?
[mockingly] What? What? Shut your mouth!
[crowd noise flares up]
[Saxton] No respect.
Whatever's left of those two after that hellacious
Last Man Standing match, it doesn't matter.
Because I am gonna become by cashing this in
the brand new undisputed
WWE Universal Champion.
[crowd booing] You suck!
[Jimmy] It's probably gonna happen, let's be honest.
-[Corey] A big if. -You all love me. I get it. I know,
but we all know that Brock Lesnar
and Roman Reigns are just going to completely destroy each other.
And if… if you don't believe me, I got some footage of Brock Lesnar
that just shows what he's capable of.
Let's roll that footage.
Well, what do we have here?
Brock Lesnar comes to town and all the cockroaches show up.
[Jimmy] The cockroaches Lesnar was referring to
were Chad Gable and the "Tree Trunk" Otis,
the Alpha Academy, who would attempt to take down the beast,
but instead would receive a beat down, the likes of which they will never forget.
[Saxton] This is what happens when a beast incarnate
gets a twinkle of excitement in his eyes,
absolutely laying waste to both Chad Gable and Otis.
[Corey] But if you want to talk about impressive feats of strength,
Lesnar dumping Otis
through our commentary desk and making it look easy.
I mean that right there just shows
that it is the perfect opportunity for me to cash in.
I mean, sure, the stakes are high,
but even though I was screwed
out of my United States Championship and money in the bank…
[crowd chants] What?
What? It doesn't matter because I always come through in the clutch.
[crowd chants] What?
Yeah, "what?" because that's exactly why all the superstars have a problem with me.
[crowd chants] What?
Superstars like Roman Reigns don't like me.
[crowd chants] What?
-Brock Lesnar don't like me. -[crowd chants] What?
-Madcap Moss don't like me. -[crowd chants] What?
-The Usos don't like me. -[crowd chants] What?
-You idiots don't like me. -[crowd chants] What?
Dolph Ziggler doesn't like me.
It's because every single one of them is jealous.
[crowd chants] What?
And it makes me think why Dolph Ziggler stuck his nose in my business last week.
It's because he's jealous.
Let's take a look at jealous Dolph Ziggler, play it.
Come on,
[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] This was Lashley and Riddle.
Bobby Lashley taking on Theory and Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler,
and he typically would make his way down to the ring.
We really had no clue what interest Ziggler had in this match.
[Corey] We still aren't entirely sure what Ziggler's motivations were,
but we would see Dolph get involved preventing Theory
from sealing the deal in that particular instance.
[Saxton] As the match continued on, Riddle would deliver an RKO…
-[crowd chanting] One, two, three. -…to pin the shoulders of…
Mr. Money in the bank.
[Jimmy] Thanks to Dolph.
[Saxton] Dolph Ziggler would have more for Theory.
How pathetic.
-I said, how pathetic. -[crowd chants] What?
But you know what? I don't blame him because look at me.
[crowd chants] What?
-Nobody's on my level. -[AJ Styles' music plays]
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Theory wasn't done speaking yet.
I wanted to hear what the kid had to say.
[Corey] He wasn't saying much.
[Jimmy] Theory was out here dropping truth bombs left and right.
[Saxton] He's also talking about everyone but his opponent.
This is what Theory needs to focus on.
Don't worry about your growing list of enemies,
focus on your phenomenal opponent.
[AJ Styles] Theory… out here making some big promises.
So why don't I make a promise?
So whatever happens at SummerSlam, whether you beat Bobby Lashley
for the United States Championship,
or are you cashing your money
in the bank contract, or hell, you might do both.
I don't know.
-Just know this… -[crowd chants] What?
…I'll be the first in a long line of people
that's gonna take that from you.
[Saxton] Ooh.
[crowd cheers]
[Saxton] Style's giving Theory something to think about.
-[Styles] And just so you know, kiddo… -[crowd chants] What?
[crowd chants] AJ Styles…
The locker room…
[crowd chants] AJ Styles…
…they're not jealous of you.
We just think you are a big jackass.
[Saxton] I actually heard that.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, AJ…
-you know, you're so easy to figure out. -[crowd chants] What?
If you idiots say "what" again.
[crowd chants] What?
I have been on Raw for less than a year,
and I have became the youngest United States Champion
and the youngest Mr. Money in the bank.
-[crowd chants] What? -So let me ask you, AJ.
-[crowd chants] What? -What the hell were you doing at my age?
[crowd chants] What?
I mean, how many years did you have to scratch
and claw hitting barefoot hillbillies with phenomenal forearms,
and rundown barns in Georgia,
to become a WWE Superstar.
But me, I mean, look at me.
I'm an overnight sensation, AJ.
They should be calling me phenomenal.
[crowd chants] What?
But, I know what it is.
I know why you don't like me.
You don't like me because I'm young--
No, no, no, no. Hold on. You don't understand,
there's not enough time on Monday night Raw
for me to explain to you why I don't like you.
[crowd cheering]
[Theory] Is that so?
I'm proud of where I'm from,
and my background,
I am the man I am today because of it.
-[crowd cheers] -Oh, and what is that?
An old, jealous, grizzled veteran?
[crowd chants] What?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm the guy that's going to knock some respect into you.
[Jimmy] Oh, Styles just teed off on Mr. Money in the bank.
[Saxton] A little preview from AJ Styles.
[Theory speaking indistinctly]
[Corey] Knocked that briefcase right out of his hands.
-I'm the guy that you-- -[Dolph Ziggler's music plays]
[Corey] Uh-oh.
Once again, why?
What is this?
-[Jimmy] Your guess is as good as mine. -[Saxton] I'm just trying to figure out…
[Saxton] Dolph Ziggler is now here once again, we have no answers,
but what we do know is that AJ Styles is set to go one-on-one with Theory.
[Corey] Things just got a lot more interesting.
Theory is not happy, not having a good night.
[Jimmy] Well, what we have in the ring, compelling enough as it's
getting started, AJ Styles versus Theory.
[Corey] Styles, the veteran bringing the fight to the young upstart,
Mr. Money in the bank
and potentially, the next United States Champion.
[Saxton] What we saw was a big mistake from Theory to actually fire up AJ Styles,
to get him emotionally charged up before this match
by insulting everything that AJ Styles represents.
[Saxton] Listen, it was not an an ill advised decision by Theory,
who is not only Mr. Money in the bank, who a week from Saturday
could not only become the next United States Champion,
could potentially be undisputed WWE Universal Champion
by the time we leave Nissan Stadium.
And it's not just about what's in the ring, you see outside the ring
Dolph Ziggler interfered in the match last week.
It was Seth "Freakin" Rollins tag teaming with Theory.
[Corey] And what was that you were saying, Byron,
about it was a stupid decision by Theory to fire up AJ Styles?
[Saxton] Because it looks pretty brilliant to me right now.
The match isn't over yet. But here's what I'm impressed with,
when it comes to Theory, in less than a year,
Theory has made enemies out of Brock Lesnar,
out of Roman Reigns, out of Bobby Lashley,
out of AJ Styles, and apparently Dolph Ziggler as well.
It's very simple to understand, Saxton, Theory himself recognized
that he's an overnight sensation.
Theory is young, Theory is successful, Theory is handsome.
Theory is jacked.
Theory very well may be the future of this entire industry,
and that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
[Saxton] So you side with Theory and you believe
all these superstars are jealous of Theory?
[Corey] I think it's… It takes a grapefruits of a certain size
to stand up to the top-tier superstars week after week, night after night.
If you want to make an omelet, you've got to break some eggs,
you might as well break the ostrich eggs, because they go a hell of a lot further.
[Saxton] Speaking of eggs,
of course, The Miz later tonight with Logan Paul for MizTV.
[Jimmy] It's going to be must-see.
And right now, Theory to your point, Corey,
it could be the biggest X factor in the WWE right now.
Mr. Money in the bank…
Oh, no one knows when it's going to cash it in.
-Oh! -[Saxton] Oh, my God.
I would never…
One, two…
[Corey] I would dare say, at this particular point in time,
Theory is the single most dangerous man in WWE.
You may not like his attitude,
you may not like the Theory's motivations, but the Theory gets results.
[Saxton] Hey, listen, if you're if you're Roman Reigns,
if you're Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam,
yeah, you could potentially have to look over your shoulder.
As to whether or not Theory makes that decision.
That crucial decision to cash in his money in the bank contract.
[Corey] Cover, shoulders down, quick, kick out from AJ Styles.
[Saxton] That's assuming Theory is in good shape
after his match with Bobby Lashley.
[Corey] You're right, and we do know for certain
that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar
will beat the living hell out of one another in Nashville.
We know that to be an absolute certainly,
even this far out, and Theory is very, very smart.
We've seen Theory displaying wisdom beyond his years,
picking his spots, capitalizing on opportunities,
much like AJ Styles did to get to the top. Much like Dolph Ziggler has done
throughout his career to remain relevant.
[Jimmy] A huge crowd here in Tampa tonight
watching the young upstart Theory in that bulldog position.
And to your point, he has shown wisdom, great stuff in the ring.
[Saxton] Dynamite drop in Monty.
[Saxton] Let's go back to the Dolph Ziggler thing,
we still, again, don't know why
Dolph Ziggler has targeted Theory.
Now, Theory suggesting, in his own opinion,
that Dolph was jealous, I highly disagree.
[Corey] Well, Dolph Ziggler in his past has been Mr. Money in the bank,
Dolph Ziggler has been United States Champion,
Ziggler successfully cashed in money in the bank
to become World Heavyweight Champion.
And also… and also the love of the locker room.
That's something Theory talks about not having,
that's something Dolph Ziggler certainly has,
the respect of the locker room.
[Saxton] Respect and love are…
[both] …two different things.
One…
[Saxton] I still got some tricks up my sleeve.
What is it?
[Corey] Ziggler may not have the love of the locker room, but he's got respect.
What are you doing?
I'm watching the match, kid. I'm not doing nothing.
[Saxton] Whoa!
-[Theory] Watch yourself. -Five…
[Saxton] Clearly the presence of Dolph Ziggler
has gotten to the head of Theory.
[Corey] And that's the sort of inexperience
that Theory's going to have to outgrow.
He's going to have to turn things around, but, right now, AJ Styles is in control.
What's going to happen to Theory?
[referee] …three…
[Jimmy] And we're back with Theory versus AJ Styles,
Theory showing his physical talent,
AJ Styles, the experienced competitor, it's been…
-[Saxton] Wow. -…oh, a hell of a match.
[Saxton] High-end back body drop delivered
-as Dolph Ziggler looks on. -[Corey] Cover.
[Saxton] Well, during the during the break,
this is how Theory was able to turn things around.
And Styles was potentially looking for a phenomenal forearm,
Mr. Money in the bank a step ahead, and it has been all Theory since then.
[Jimmy] Yes, but Theory's been
a bit distracted by Dolph Ziggler outside the ring.
[Saxton] Dolph Ziggler hasn't done anything tonight,
unlike last week where he laid out Theory at the end of Raw with a superkick.
And yet we still have no explanation
as to why Ziggler has taken an interest in Mr. Money in the bank.
[Corey] A blitz of strikes by the phenomenal one, and down goes Theory.
[Saxton] Styles down low now.
[Corey] Sliding forearm rocks the young future champion.
-[Jimmy laughs] -[Saxton] Well--
[Corey] So, I'm still used to the youngest United States Champion in WWE history.
That could all be all true again.
Looking to reclaim his title next Saturday.
[Saxton] What would this do to the momentum… Oh.
[commentators exclaiming]
-[Jimmy] To the cover. -[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] A week from Saturday, Theory taking on Bobby Lashley, trying to regain
the United States Championship.
[Saxton] Think about how a loss here tonight to AJ Styles
could maybe diffuse some of the momentum.
[Corey] Just remove that thought from your brain, Saxton.
What you need to be thinking about
is Mr. Money in the bank marching into Nissan Stadium,
becoming United States Champion, and then cashing in
-and becoming… Cover. -[referee] One, two…
[Saxton] Shoulders down, kick out from Theory.
[Corey] The undisputed WWE Universal Champion,
and the youngest one at that.
[Saxton] I choose to be an independent thinker, not just follow what
-Theory says is going to happen. -[Jimmy] Look at the talent of Theory…
…beautiful dropkick.
You cannot deny the athleticism, the ability of Theory.
-[Corey] Oh, and the creativity. -[Jimmy] Shoulders down, could be it.
[referee] One, two…
[Corey] Innovative offense nearly put Styles away,
but the phenomenal one fights on.
[Jimmy] The last millisecond, that kick out.
[Corey] That's the trademark tenacity of AJ Styles, it's unparalleled
in WWE, but Theory is certainly
giving Styles a run for his money, as we look at this once again.
Driven across Theory's knee,
-nearly put AJ out for three. -[referee] One, two…
[Saxton] Theory continuing to talk himself up here,
understanding how close he is to putting Styles away, but Styles still has life.
-Oh, rolling, uh-oh. -[Corey] Looking for the calf crusher,
he's got it.
[Saxton] Cinched in. Theory is in trouble.
[Corey] Very, very wisely getting to the bottom rope.
Savvy move getting to that bottom rope quickly.
[Saxton] Theory trying to create some separation,
but awkwardly at the feet of Dolph Ziggler.
[Jimmy] Who has yet to interfere in the match,
it's been a distraction for Theory.
[Saxton] Styles now with something big in mind.
[Jimmy] Countered. Oh…
[grunting]
-[Corey] AJ Styles deposited… -[referee] One…
-…face-first off of our commentary desk. -[referee] Two…
[Saxton] Theory making sure Dolph Ziggler watching every second of it.
-[referee] Three… -[Corey] Yep.
[Jimmy] Oh, my god.
[Saxton] Ziggler strikes again.
But the official didn't see it.
-The official didn't see the superkick. -[referee] Five…
[Jimmy] Count is up to five for Theory.
Six.
-[Saxton] Theory about to get counted out. -[Jimmy] Get in!
[overlapping chatter]
-[Corey] Theory. -[Jimmy] No way.
He doesn't know where the ring is.
[overlapping chatter]
[Jimmy] He's been counted out.
[announcer] Here is your winner as a result of a count-out,
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.
[Jimmy] Dolph Ziggler yet again.
[Saxton] I thought Ziggler was going to be a peaceful observer,
but once again, it's Ziggler who cost Theory.
[Corey] Oh, no.
[Jimmy] Oh, yes. AJ Styles
paying back the disrespect.
-[Saxton] From bad to worse here. -[Jimmy] Styles clash.
[Jimmy] And a smirk on the face of Dolph Ziggler.
[Corey] This night certainly did not go the way Theory was anticipating.
-[Corey] But why is Dolph doing this? -[Saxton] I'm with you.
Okay, we're all trying to figure out why is Dolph Ziggler out here.
Why does he place his focus on Theory?
A million questions and no answers.
[Corey] Well, this much is certain.
The superkick from Dolph Ziggler was the game changer.
And as Theory attempted to beat the official's count of ten,
he failed to do so.
Your winner tonight, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. But,
chalk up a big, massive, oversized assist to Dolph Ziggler.
[Jimmy] Well, we'll find out
if it carries over to a week from Saturday at SummerSlam.
It's going to be absolutely incredible.
[Corey] SummerSlam where we will witness the defense
of the Raw Women's Championship.
We found out earlier tonight.
It will be "The EST" Bianca Belair defending her title
against "Big Time" Becky Lynch.
We'll take a special look when we get back.
[Jimmy] How many times have you asked yourself
how popular is the WWE?
Well, did you know the total number of views on YouTube page?
Seventy billion. Absolutely stunning.
[Corey] Just to give you some perspective.
That is more lifetime views
than the NBA, ESPN, NFL, UFC, Olympics,
Formula One, MLB, and NHL combined.
[Saxton] That is absolutely incredible.
A huge thank you to the entire WWE universe for making that possible.
And that's because of all of you that those views are possible.
And something that's generated a lot of views and a lot of attention
in the last year is the rivalry between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch.
It all started at SummerSlam.
[narrator] Nashville, Tennessee.
Music City.
Where the nightlife is always jumping and the hits never stop coming.
♪ It's a crazy town full of neon dreams ♪
♪ Everybody plays ♪
♪ Everybody sings, love it ♪
[narrator] In a rivalry one year in the making is about
to take center stage at SummerSlam.
Becky Lynch.
An undeniable classic.
[Becky] I'm the biggest star in this industry.
[narrator] And owner of one of the greatest hits in Wrestlemania history.
[Saxton] For the first time ever, women are in the main event.
Winner take all.
She did it.
[Jimmy] Becky Lynch is Raw and Smackdown Women's Champion.
[narrator] And then in the prime of her career,
Becky would step back from the mic to embrace a new role.
Mother.
Bianca Belair, the new hit single and the EST of WWE.
[Bianca] The strong,
the toughest, the roughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best.
[narrator] Who dropped a smash track on the grandest stage.
[Jimmy] Bianca Belair shocked the world!
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Welcome to the Bianca Belair Era.
[Bianca] We are just getting started creating history.
[narrator] But history loves a comeback.
[Jimmy] What?
Becky Lynch, one of the biggest stars on the planet.
[Corey] She left 16 months ago.
She's back.
[narrator] And in a mere 26 seconds,
Becky Lynch took her place back
-at the top of the charts. -[referee] One, two, three.
[Jimmy] Lynch wins the title. What the hell just happened?
Jaws are on the floor.
Are you shocked?
You should be.
[Bianca] I had accomplished so much and I lost all of that in 26 seconds.
You don't get to cry that I beat you too fast.
That's on you.
[Becky] Before you came along, these people loved me.
Because of you, they despise me.
That's when I knew I would sell my soul to keep this.
[narrator] But the EST would show Big Time Becks that she was no one-hit-wonder.
[Jimmy] KOD!
We have a new Champion.
[Saxton] What resolve from Bianca Belair!
[Jimmy] Humiliation at SummerSlam, redemption at Wrestlemania.
[narrator] And while Bianca went platinum, Becky Lynch went bust.
I've hit Rock bottom. Wait a minute, if I've hit Rock bottom,
that means there's nowhere else to go but up.
This is the beginning of the legendary Becky Lynch comeback. [laughs]
[narrator] Now it's time to face the music.
One week from Saturday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville at SummerSlam,
the spotlight will burn bright on Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch.
Will Big Time Becks print her comeback hit?
I am being denied what should be rightfully mine.
You're only good cause I showed the world how to be great.
[narrator] But will the EST continue to rule the airwaves?
[Bianca] You tried to break my spirit, but that didn't work.
This is 100% not going anywhere.
[narrator] But only one will leave SummerSlam…
Raw Women's Champion,
[Jimmy] Where it started was last SummerSlam,
where it's headed is a week from Saturday once again at SummerSlam.
Bianca Belair would like nothing better
than to bury last year with an amazing performance
against Big Time Becks.
[Corey] Belair has vowed to complete her year-long comeback story
by successfully defending the Raw Women's Championship
against Becky Lynch.
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following is a six-woman tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss.
[Alexa Bliss' music plays]
[Saxton] Alexa bliss has been highly impressive the last few weeks here in WWE,
set for six-woman tag team action.
Bliss will team up with Asuka
and the 24/7 Champion, Dana Brooke,
to take on Doudrop,
Nikki A.S.H., and Tamina.
[Jimmy] Well, our show was opened up by Titus O'Neil,
a man who is a hero not just in the ring but what he does for his community.
[male announcer] This past Saturday at Amalie Arena,
WWE Global Ambassador Titus O'Neill and his Bullard Family Foundation
announced that the fifth annual back-to-school bash

[Jimmy] We have an absolutely loaded six-woman tag team match.
Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Dana Brooke Versus Doudrop, Nikki A.S.H., and Tamina.
[bell dings]
[Saxton] If you call Alexa Bliss and Asuka formed a successful tandem last week
earning a victory over Nikki A.S.H.
and Doudrop, hoping to continue that momentum here tonight.
[Jimmy] Oh, making of momentum,
Asuka absolutely leveling Nikki A.S.H. and not stopping there.
Oh, Nikki a step ahead of the empress.
Just battering Asuka with forearms, my lord.
Brutality.
[Saxton] You wonder if the aggression we're seeing is sort of the influence--
-Oh. -[Corey] Tamina and Ms. Doudrop
getting in on the action.
[Saxton] Well, well. Watch Dana. Dana Brooke from the top.
[Jimmy] Oh, taking out the two powerhouses.
[Corey] Stepping up her game, taking it high-risk, the 24/7 Champion.
-Byron, clap for her. That's clearly-- -What are you doing here?
[Corey] What the hell's this guy doing here?
Get the hell out of here.
You ruined everything of mine.
[overlapping chatter]
[Jimmy] Tozawa.
[Saxton] It's Tozawa for the cover.
-Oh, we got a new Champion. -[bell dings]
[Rome] Here is your winner and the new 24/7 Champion,
Akira…
[Corey] If Rome didn't take so damn long to say his name
he'd have got a proper announcement.
-Here we go. -[Jimmy] Nikki A.S.H. with the cover
-and she's the 24/7 Champion. -[bell dings]
[Corey] You mean to tell me--
[Rome] Here is your winner and the new…
[Corey] Oh, my God,
-…24/7 champ… -what the hell is going on here?
-[Saxton] Alexa Bliss, DDT. -[Jimmy] Oh.
[Saxton] Alexa is your new champ.
[bell dings]
[Saxton] First time.
[Rome] Here is your winner and the new--
-[Corey] Just stop, Rome. -[Jimmy] Oh, Rome, just--
-[Corey] Don't waste your breath. -[Jimmy] Another cover…
-…and Doudrop now has the title. -[bell dings]
-You mean to tell me-- -Your winner…
-Dana Brooke didn't have the foresight… -…and the new…
-…to have the 24/7 title rules… -…24/7 Champion…
…suspended for this match?
-[Jimmy] Apparently not. -…Doudrop!
-[Jimmy] This might be the most-- -[Saxton] Oh, no.
[Corey] Oh, God. Go ahead, Saxton.
-It's your turn. Go do it again. -[Saxton] Goodnight, Doudrop.
-[bell dings] -[Saxton] New champ again. Go ahead, Rome.
[Rome] Here is your winner, and the new 24/7 Champion--
[Saxton] Look out! Look out! Look out!
[Jimmy] Dana Brooke with the roll-up.
-Full circle we have come. -[bell dings]
-[Rome] Here is your winner and the new… -[Saxton] Dana, exit. Leave.
-…24/7 Champion, Dana Brooke. -[Saxton] Get out of here, Dana. Run.
[Saxton] Okay. All is well kind of for Dana Brooke, still has a Championship.
[Jimmy] Dana Brooke is running for her life.
[Corey] The match is still somehow underway.
[Saxton] Asuka now from behind. Nikki A.S.H.
-[Jimmy] Oh… -[Saxton] The former 24/7 Champion.
[Jimmy] Right into the armbar.
-Asuka lock. -Now Asuka lock.
[Jimmy] It is tight. Both hooks in.
-[Saxton] Is Nikki going to tap? -[Jimmy] She taps.
-[bell dings] -[Asuka's music plays]
[Rome] Here are your winners by submission,
the team of the 24/7 Champion,
Dana Brooke, Alexa Bliss, and Asuka.
[Jimmy] Well, virtually one-on-one.
-Asuka with the submission win. -[Corey] With all the things I've seen…
…that was definitely the most recent.
[Saxton] I had flashbacks to when I beat you for the 24/7 title, Corey.
[Corey] I have put that out of my mind, Byron, and that's also why I drink.
Finn, Damian, did you actually think I would ever join the Judgment day?
Honestly, I may have failed your so called test,
but at the end of the day, I lived up to the Mysterio name,
and the Judgment Day,
don't know a thing about the Mysterios.
You guys think you're the first ones
to threaten the Mysterios. Hell, you ain't even the first ones
to try and tear up this family, and you sure as hell won't be
the first to fail on trying to do so.
Check this out.
Next week at Madison Square Garden,
I'm going to celebrate 20 years in WWE.
Dom and I are gonna cap out that celebration by excitedly
showing you the Judgment Day,
what it means to be a Mysterio.
Orale.
Ariba.
Mi rasa.
[The Mysterios' music plays]
[Jimmy] Speaking of the Mysterio name, that's exactly
what we'll be celebrating next week.
It's appropriate, it's Madison Square Garden,
the mecca of combat sports, the mecca of sports entertainment.
The 20th anniversary celebration of Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] Think about how much more joyous that celebration will be
if Rey and Dominik Mysterio can overcome Finn Bálor
and Damian Priest of the Judgment Day.
[Corey] We will celebrate Rey Mysterio, but we will acknowledge him.
You know who I'm talking about?
The head of the table.
The tribal chief, the undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns,
will be live in the Garden, on Monday night Raw.
[The Miz's music plays]
[Corey] Can this night get any better?
You know…
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the host of MizTV,
The Miz.
[Corey] He's been a busy man, Jimmy.
Oh, that's right. One thing about The Miz,
you talk about his ego, talk about his in-ring skills,
when it comes to celebrity softball, he can still swing it.
[male announcer] This is the 2022 MTN awards Rewards All-star celebrity game.
You ready for this?
[male announcer] Stepping up to the plate, The Miz.
That ball is out of here.
At least he doesn't showboat.
Team Brooklyn celebrates.
We're going to let y'all decide who's taking home the MVP.
Who thinks The Miz should hoist the MVP belt?
[crowd cheers]
All-star game MVP, The Miz.
[Corey] A multi-sport athlete.
I have it on good authority that Juan Solo
actually asked Miz for some batting advice.
[Saxton] Now you're talking crazy.
[Corey] And for some business advice. Lots of zeros.
[Jimmy] Well, Logan Paul, we know he's a media superstar,
but he will be in the ring
with the man who gave him a skull crushing finale on it will be on MizTV.
It'll be on Raw next.
[Corey] Did Logan hit a homerun?
[Jimmy] And we will have Roman Reigns with us
next week at Madison Square Garden in New York on Monday night Raw.
[Corey] I hope Miz doesn't decide to joining the Yankees next week,
I'd like to have them at SummerSlam.
[Saxton] Please stop this nonsense.
Welcome to the most must-see WWE talk show in history.
Welcome to
-[crowd yells] MizTV. -MizTV.
I am super excited about my guest tonight.
We've been going back and forth for weeks doing what celebrities do.
Stirring up controversy, getting you all to talk.
So let's bring them out here.
Ladies and gentlemen, get up out of your seats for Logan Paul.
[Logan Paul's music plays]
[Saxton] You know what this whole situation has taught me about The Miz?
Truly how stubborn,
dare I say, maybe a little bit delusional
that he still believes that there is a chance
that this man right here, this media Megastar--
[Corey] Saxton, I'm going to shut you up right there.
-[Saxton] You're not going to shut me up. -[Corey] Open your ears
because right now, the WWE universe clearly prefers The Miz.
Oh, you actually may have a point, Corey.
What I was trying to say before that is the fact that
The Miz still believes there's a chance
that Logan Paul's going to change his mind and align himself with The Miz again.
[Jimmy] Well, if Logan likes money which I think he does.
What's up, Miz?
I'm here…
face to face.
Do you accept my SummerSlam challenge or not?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not do this.
Let's talk about the good things
like the last time we were in a ring together at this year's Wrestlemania.
[crowd cheers]
[Corey] This was a great time.
After Rey and Dominik Mysterio would fall in defeat
at the hands of the A-lister and his social media sidekick.
Boom. First skull-crushing finale to Rey Mysterio
and this is where Logan Paul got a little too greedy.
A little too big for his britches, if you will,
in the moments after this.
[announcer] Logan Paul and The Miz…
[chuckles] Oh, we were victorious and at SummerSlam--
No, no, no.
Would you keep playing that footage, if you don't mind?
Thank you.
-[Corey] No, no-- yes, yes. -[Saxton] We've seen it. Play the footage.
This is what Logan Paul has an issue with.
During the celebration, Logan Paul had an incredible in-ring debut
alongside The Miz on the grandest stage at Wrestlemania.
Oh, but here's where Miz's fragile ego comes into play,
because The Miz would not dare
share the spotlight with anyone else
and had to lay out Logan Paul at Wrestlemania.
[Corey] Miz thinks Pokemon cards are lame.
He told me.
Yeah.
Let me explain.
-I was teaching you. -Yeah?
Teaching me what, Miz?
Because the only thing that you taught me
was that I had to come back to WWE, sign WWE contract
so I could beat your ass
one on one at SummerSlam.
[crowd cheers]
Maybe you don't understand who you are standing in the ring with.
I am the only two-time--
Yeah, yeah. The only two-time Grand Slam Champion.
We get it.
And star of Miz & Mrs.,
which a new episode follows this show, Raw, tonight.
But let's not focus on me.
Let's focus on you.
You, a kid from Cleveland that became a global superstar
with 23 million instagram followers.
You… who went the distance with pound for pound the greatest boxer
of any generation Floyd Money Mayweather in your boxing debut.
You, with my tutelage, was able to harness your WWE in-ring
ability faster than anyone…
anyone, I have ever seen, celebrity or superstar.
You are a unique talent. A one-of-a-kind superstar,
and you have so much promise.
I know you think you are ready, but I can assure you, you are not.
Wrestlemania was a tag team match.
I was able to protect you.
One-on-one,
I have been doing this long and you cannot do what I do,
because I've been doing it for 18 years.
And out there… out there yes, yes, absolutely.
You are a huge star.
You have the biggest podcast in Impaulsive,
but here, this is MizTV and I host…
MizTV.
You can't host MizTV
and you can't face me one-on-one at SummerSlam.
You are a rookie,
and you have to earn the right to face me,
so your challenge is denied.
[Saxton] Miz is really being the bigger man here.
I think The Miz wants no part of Logan Paul.
You don't think I'm ready?
You don't think I'm tough enough?
Miz, I was told…
that I wasn't ready to build a social media career
and I revolutionized the industry.
I was told I couldn't last eight rounds in the ring with Floyd Mayweather
and I put him on my highlight reel.
And I was told I couldn't compete at Wrestlemania.
I committed myself, worked my ass off out of respect for this sport.
[crowd chants] What?
I'm in my prime, old man,
and when someone tells me I'm not ready for something, it only motivates me.
And right now my sole motivation is to prove you wrong
and beat the hell out of you at SummerSlam.
So I'll be back next week,
Monday night Raw, in Madison Square Garden.
and I'm going to host my own version of MizTV.
It's because I'm The Miz
And this rookie's going to show you who's better.
Oh, okay. You're going to try and do what I do.
The answer is still no.
[laughs]
You know what, Miz?
You know, I'm actually not surprised,
you keep saying no to my SummerSlam challenge.
Why is that?
Because that is exactly what everyone would expect to hear from a man
with two blueberries in his pants.
[crowd cheering]
[Logan] Tampa, say it with me.
Tiny balls.
-Tiny balls. -[crowd chants] Tiny balls.
[crowd chants] Tiny balls.
[Saxton] This is… This is low. This is classless.
-[Jimmy] Below the belt. -[Corey] Just accept it, Miz.
Well done, Jimmy.
I have a t-shirt that says, "I have massive balls,"
and you, you want The Miz versus Logan Paul at SummerSlam?
Do you all want The Miz versus Logan Paul at SummerSlam?
[crowd cheers]
Then I accept.
[Corey] Whoa!
Oh…
[Jimmy] Getting it started early.
[Saxton] Logan Paul's getting his wish, and now giving The Miz a preview.
[Corey] I think Logan Paul's going to rue the day,
he stepped up to the A-lister, when The Miz is ready.
Miz was not prepared for a fight tonight.
Miz will be prepared and more ready than ever in Nashville.
-[Jimmy] Oh, my god. -[Saxton] Ciampa?
[Corey] Would you say that this attack from Ciampa was impaulsive?
[Saxton] Oh, yeah, yeah. Cute. Well, we've seen this story before.
Ciampa right on the heels of The Miz.
There to protect The Miz when The Miz is in trouble.
[Corey] Speaking of unprepared Logan Paul completely unprepared for that.
[indistinct conversation]
-[The Miz grunts] -[Corey] Oh…
[Saxton] Paul, Look at Logan Paul.
[Corey] Right on the temple. Oh, no.
-[The Miz] Come on! -[Saxton] Logan Paul able to escape
both The Miz and Ciampa.
What?
-[Jimmy] The Miz and Ciampa furious. -[Logan Paul's music plays]
[Saxton] But the breaking news here is that The Miz has accepted
Logan Paul's challenge for SummerSlam.
[Corey] Well, I hope Logan Paul is ready to be outnumbered in a massive way,
and I'm talking about by The Miz
and his two tag team partners, if you know what I mean.
[Saxton] I got what you mean.
-They're huge, giant… -[Jimmy] Logan Paul wanted this
-[Saxton] This massive-- -[Jimmy] Challenge, The Miz,
and this was the result.
[Saxton] This just shows you what Logan Paul could bring to the equation,
despite his rookie status inside the ring.
[Jimmy] Logan Paul's a hell of an athlete, no doubt about that,
but Logan Paul is inexperienced.
Miz has been there.
Miz has done that.
Ciampa obviously has his eyes--
[Saxton] The Miz needed Ciampa to save him.
And even through that, Paul was able to find his way out of the predicament,
escape the attack of The Miz and Ciampa.
Paul can now set his sights…
-…on SummerSlam. -What?
Excuse me, Miz.
Tonight, Logan Paul insulted you.
He also said that next week he would host your show better than you,
and he said he will beat you at SummerSlam. What's your response?
There is only one Miz and there is only one MizTV.
There's a reason I'm the most must-see WWE Superstar of all time.
Because this is my house.
My house.
Nobody comes in here and embarrasses me out there.
Sure, your glitz and glam is amazing, but here there is only one man.
One man this house is.
It's because I'm The Miz
and I'm…
[crowd chants] Awesome…
…awesome.
[The Miz's music plays]
[Saxton] I don't know. I think The Miz is a little shook.
[Jimmy] We'll find out at SummerSlam the challenge now accepted.
Logan Paul taking on The Miz. You talked about the experience,
Corey, of The Miz.
Logan Paul called down the thunder, now he's got to deal with it.
Logan Paul can put up or shut up.
We're not talking Mayweather.
We're talking A-lister with massive assets.
Miz, Logan Paul, SummerSlam,
Nashville, live WWE on Peacock. ive assets.
