[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.
[Jimmy] I cannot believe, it's an absolute brawl.
[Corey] We are live on Monday Night Raw.
Miz and Logan Paul have come to blows before we even got on the air.
Logan Paul said he didn't want to wait for Saturday.
-[Saxton] This just shows you how much… -[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
…Logan Paul needs to prove himself to The Miz.
[Corey] Get somebody out here. We got the officials finally.
We got to separate these two.
They're not going to make it till Saturday.
[Jimmy] Logan Paul is trying to put Miz through the canvas.
[Saxton] Hopefully, calmer heads will prevail. Logan Paul still…
[Jimmy] No calmer heads in that ring right now.
[Corey] Bad blood has boiled over.
[Saxton] Officials desperately, desperately trying to separate these two.
[Corey] Just days away before Miz and Logan clash at SummerSlam.
[Jimmy] It will take an army to keep these guys apart.
[Corey] It is completely out of hand here in Madison Square Garden.
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Logan Paul came out with a microphone
and said, "Come get me, Miz." Unreal.
[Corey] This is before we even got on the air tonight.
Logan Paul would call out The Miz.
Miz would happily oblige and chaos would ensue.
[Saxton] This is just a sign, guys, just a taste of what The Miz and Logan Paul
are going to do to each other this Saturday at SummerSlam.
[Corey] Things got out of hand in a hurry.
We came up on the air mid-fight, mid-brawl.
Logan Paul and Miz may destroy one another this Saturday.
[Saxton] These officials understanding that both these men
need to be healthy. Need to be healthy at SummerSlam.
It is imperative that they be kept apart
and finally able to restore some semblance of order.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God, now a sold-out Madison Square Garden
on their feet for The Head of the Table.
["Head of the Table" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] 15,000-plus. Hear that.
[Corey] Flanked by the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, The Usos,
and "The Wise Man" Paul Heyman.
Roman Reigns has arrived in the world's most famous arena.
[Saxton] The entire Bloodline in full force,
and all the gold in tow.
[Jimmy] Six titles, three men.
That is control, gentlemen.
[fireworks popping]
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Paul Heyman,
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos,
and the Undisputed
WWE Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns.
[Corey] The significance of Madison Square Garden not lost on Roman
nor any member of The Bloodline nor anybody who will compete tonight.
Roman Reigns, The Tribal Chief, walking the very same aisle
that Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales did four years prior,
but perhaps no one has exerted the dominance
that Roman Reigns has over WWE.
[Saxton] Roman Reigns is nearing 700 days.
Seven hundred days, gentlemen,
as the reigning Undisputed
WWE Universal Champion.
[Corey] But that reign is in serious jeopardy, Byron,
because this Saturday, Nashville, Tennessee,
SummerSlam Last Man Standing.
Lesnar versus Reigns.
[Jimmy] The brutality of that match is on everyone's mind.
Do you see any concern on the face of Roman Reigns?
[Corey] Absolutely not.
Supreme confidence.
[Saxton] Just imagine the savagery,
the brutality that Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar
will have to inflict upon each other to leave SummerSlam as champion.
-[fireworks popping] -[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] That is Saturday.
Right now, on Monday Night Raw,
The Bloodline undoubtedly reign supreme.
[Corey] This is what it means to be the face of this industry,
to march into Madison Square Garden to kick off Monday Night Raw
as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
We are sold out. What a night it's going to be.
[crowd booing]
[crowd chanting] Roman! Roman! Roman!
-[chanting stops] -[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
Madison Square Garden…
[crowd cheering]
-acknowledge me. -[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Roman! Roman! Roman!
-Wise Man… -Yes, my Tribal Chief.
I don't feel like talking anymore.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to The Island of Relevancy,
where tonight, our new capital--
[Corey] It is red hot here in New York City.
We have a sound guy that must be from New Jersey or something.
[crowd cheering]
-[Saxton] Unfair. -[Corey] Terrible state.
We want your name written down.
You are the next one out the door.
[Saxton] Uh-oh.
As I was saying, welcome to The Island of Relevancy, with our capital,
New York City, and our city hall,
Madison Square Garden!
[crowd cheering]
This honor has been bestowed upon me by my Tribal Chief
because this Sunday
marks 700 days
of the title reign of The Head of the Table,
the GOAT, the greatest of all time,
Roman Reigns.
Admittedly, this plays into the hands of the challenger
for the Undisputed Title
because he just loves to piss on everyone's parade,
and I'm talking about…
-Brock Lesnar. -[crowd] Brock Lesnar!
I ask you this, when Randy Couture was the greatest heavyweight of all time,
who ruined that party?
Brock Lesnar.
When The Undertaker was 21-0 at WrestleMania,
who ruined that party? Brock Lesnar.
When John Cena was running around
with all the hustle, loyalty and respect,
who took him to Suplex City and burst that bubble?
Brock Lesnar.
And now, Brock Lesnar looks at this Saturday
as day number 699 and he says… [laughs]
"I'm going to ruin the party for Roman Reigns."
This is why my Tribal Chief takes it so personally.
Reigns is tired of Brock Lesnar's legacy
being tied into the legacy of the greatest of all time, Roman Reigns.
You think of the Knicks, you think of the Celtics,
you think of the Yankees, you think of the Red Sox.
You think of Hogan, you think of Macho Man,
you think of Stone Cold, you think of The Rock.
But when you think of Roman Reigns,
you will no longer, after Saturday,
ever have to think of Brock Lesnar again
because The Suplexorcist is going to exorcise
the demon of Brock Lesnar
out of the legacy of Roman Reigns.
It's enough.
We're sick of Brock Lesnar's name.
We're sick of Brock Lesnar riding on the coattails
of the greatness of Roman Reigns.
It's time for Brock to go back to Saskatchewan
and slaughter a bunch of hogs.
So here's what's going to happen.
Anything, anything Roman Reigns needs to do
to keep Brock Lesnar down for the count of ten,
and in this, their very last match ever together,
Roman Reigns will finally rid himself
of Brock Lesnar,
which is why my Tribal Chief has nothing to say tonight.
Because my Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns,
cannot stand the sound
of the name "Brock Lesnar."
After this Saturday night at SummerSlam,
Brock Lesnar,
you won't be able to stand at all.
[crowd cheering]
-["A-Town Down" playing] -[Jimmy] Whoa.
[Corey laughs]
[Jimmy] Just when you were thinking Brock and Roman Reigns,
the X factor for this Saturday makes an appearance.
[Corey] Mr. Money in the Bank himself.
You know what's so funny to me?
What's so funny to me is The Bloodline talks a lot,
but they seem to have forgotten the most important detail about SummerSlam.
You see, at SummerSlam, I'm not only going to take back my United States Championship
from "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley,
but I'm also going to walk down to this ring just like this,
-cash in my Money in the Bank contract. -[crowd chanting] What?
It doesn't matter if it's Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns
because I will be the new Undisputed
WWE Universal Champion.
[crowd booing]
You're just going to stop right there?
If you're going to come into my arena,
at least step foot in my ring and acknowledge your Tribal Chief.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Theory looks like he's mulling it over.
Come on. Don't be scared now.
[Corey] There's no way.
I don't think that's a good idea for Theory at all.
We saw what happened to Theory Friday night on SmackDown
when he encountered The Beast Incarnate firsthand.
[Jimmy] And that was one on one.
[Corey] Got to give Theory credit. The kid's got guts.
[laughs] He's… He's nervous.
You know what I'm saying? New York, take it easy on him.
He's a little nervous. It's his first time, all right?
[imperceptible]
I get it. Hey.
Wise Man, we like him, right?
-We… We like him. -He's all right.
I can appreciate what you're trying to do, but let's be honest here.
You have no clue what you're doing with that briefcase right now.
As a matter of fact, I think he needs a wise man.
You need somebody to counsel you.
Here, I'll be that guy for the night.
All right, here's some words of wisdom for you, Theory.
I want you to start looking around.
I want you to analyze this situation here. You understand?
Your daddy's not here anymore.
[crowd exclaiming]
This is my ring.
[crown chanting] Daddy's gone! Daddy's gone! Daddy's gone!
You heard 'em. Daddy's gone.
[crown chanting] Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?
I'll tell you who his daddy is
because if he keeps messing up,
The Tribal Chief is going to be his daddy.
[crowd cheering]
But we don't want that because we want you to understand the situation here.
I run the Garden now.
-[crowd cheering] -[mic thuds]
[Saxton] Stern warning delivered by The Tribal Chief. Oh-oh!
[Corey] Oh, God!
Theory not going to stand for the disrespect from Jey Uso but…
Come on, step up. Huh? Step up. I don't need this.
I don't need this. Step up.
[Roman] Hey, hey, it's all right.
[Jimmy] The Tribal Chief showing restraint.
[Corey] Theory got so lucky.
[crown chanting] Who's your daddy?
[Corey] The Head of the Tables remaining calm under pressure.
Reigns clearly not sweating Theory.
["Head of the Table" playing]
[Saxton] You have to ask the question, Roman Reigns brought up a great point.
Does Theory truly know what he's doing with that briefcase?
[Jimmy] You know who does know what he's doing,
The Tribal Chief, taking his time tonight,
owning Madison Square Garden.
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank in WWE history,
Theory!
[crowd booing]
And that right there was the introduction that I truly deserve.
[crowd booing]
And I'm sure all of you enjoyed what Roman had--
["Gallantry" playing]
-[Jimmy] Whoa! -[Saxton] When is Theory gonna learn?
Just stop running your mouth, man.
[Jimmy] Someone's paying attention. The Scottish Warrior, apparently.
-[Corey] He doesn't even go here. -[Saxton] He is tonight.
[Jimmy] Angela in hand.
-[fireworks popping] -[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Fired up and apparently ready to go.
[Corey] What an intimidating visual, The Scottish Warrior
marching down the aisle with Theory in his crosshairs.
[Saxton] The same look Theory had a few moments ago with The Bloodline.
Come on, Theory, just save yourself.
Get out of Dodge.
[Corey] Understandably, Theory's starting to feel himself.
Theory's starting to believe in himself.
The WWE Universe may not believe yet,
but Theory believes and sometimes that's all that matters.
[Saxton] Sometimes, you get a little delusional
believing in yourself a little too much.
[Jimmy] Didn't back down from The Bloodline,
-not backing right now from Drew McIntyre. -[bell ringing]
-[Corey] Wait a minute. -[Jimmy] My God!
[Corey] From the opening bell, McIntyre just flattened Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Saxton] That's what happens when you don't back down.
You get flattened by Drew McIntyre.
-[Jimmy] Oh, my God! -[Saxton] You get your chest lit up too.
[Jimmy] Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley
waiting in the wings at SummerSlam Saturday, and now, Drew McIntyre.
-Could it get any worse for Theory? -[Saxton] One more time?
-[Jimmy] I guess it can. -[Saxton] There it is.
[Corey] Well, we know how badly Theory has his sights set on Roman Reigns
and the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
-[Jimmy] Oh! -[Corey] Good God, man! Terrifying power.
[Saxton] Can we ask the question,
maybe what condition is Theory going to be in
this Saturday at SummerSlam, especially now having to go through Drew McIntyre?
[Corey] The first valid point you've made in six years, Saxton,
but McIntyre himself has designs on becoming
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
This coming Friday, McIntyre and Sheamus in a Donnybrook Match.
The winner would advance to Clash at the Castle
and challenge for the championship, whomever holds it.
[Jimmy] Shot to the chest just made Drew McIntyre mad.
[Saxton] In other words, if we're looking ahead, maybe,
let's say Theory becomes Undisputed WWE Universal Champion,
he could have to defend against Drew McIntyre.
[Corey] Rapid fire rights from the Scotsman.
[Jimmy] That could be the chess game we're looking at.
Oh, my God. A softened-up Theory. Great news for Drew McIntyre.
[Saxton] The look on the face of Drew McIntyre
tells you all you need to know about the mood that McIntyre is in.
[Jimmy] Coming out on Raw, a complete surprise to everyone involved.
Theory back on his heels, but fighting back.
The confidence he's shown tonight very, very impressive.
[Corey] One of the reasons why Theory is in the position that he is.
Self-belief and performance.
[Saxton] And a lot of luck, a lot of fortunate circumstance for Theory as well.
[Jimmy] Fortunate circumstances at Money in the Bank--
Oh, my God, he took advantage of it.
[Corey] It could be argued that at any point, whoever holds the briefcase
is the most dangerous Superstar in WWE.
The biggest threat to the titles.
[Jimmy] But right now, he's looking at a huge threat from Drew McIntyre.
-Future Shock. -[Corey] Oh, my God!
Gnarly landing for Theory.
[Saxton] I'm going out on a limb and say
this is the beginning of the end for Theory.
[Jimmy] Looking for the count of three.
[Corey] Theory may have dodged the bullet from The Tribal Chief,
but he's about to find himself in the firing line.
[Jimmy] Smart, smart decision.
[Saxton] Theory attempting to save himself.
[Jimmy] Can't argue with that decision, but--
[Saxton] The awaiting Claymore by Drew McIntyre,
went out there to meet him.
[Corey] Well, perhaps McIntyre was a little overly eager or perhaps not.
[Saxton] McIntyre has dominated the majority of this match-up.
-[Corey] Oh, no. -[Saxton] Coming our way.
-[Corey] Uh-oh. -[Jimmy] Oh, my God,
and now goes Theory on the floor!
[Jimmy] We're back a Madison Square Garden in a match we didn't expect.
Drew McIntyre versus Theory and it's been Drew McIntyre looking for a cover now.
Imposing his will so far on Theory.
[Saxton] Well, you think about Theory
and all the talk Theory's been doing about
going on to SummerSlam, recapturing the United States Title,
cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.
I think Theory possibly looking past someone like Drew McIntyre
because he's opening prospective plans.
[Corey] Why would Theory be worried about McIntyre,
a Friday Night SmackDown Superstar, showing up Monday Night Raw
and picking a fight?
[Saxton] 'Cause you want to be healthy and in one piece headed to SummerSlam, maybe?
[Corey] How could Theory have expected it is my point.
[Saxton] Expected the unexpected.
Wasn't that one of the first lessons that Theory learned?
[Jimmy] Now waiting for a countout.
-Five! -Five!
[Jimmy] You get the feeling Theory would take it
if the opportunity presented itself, but no.
Drew McIntyre trying to battle his way back in the ring.
Oh!
[referee] Hey, get in here right now, Theory. Come on.
[Saxton] Theory now trying to continue to be the aggressor here against McIntyre.
Shoulder in the stairs.
[Jimmy] Theory confronting The Bloodline before the break.
Dismissed a bit by Roman Reigns, that sticks with you.
Could be Theory feeling a little of that humiliation in this match.
[Corey] Now, Theory trying to inflict a little humiliation upon Drew McIntyre.
[Jimmy] Count almost up to ten, just in time.
[Saxton] Theory right there to meet him.
[Jimmy] Right into full mount goes Theory.
Finally getting his offense going.
[Saxton] Theory trying to talk himself up.
[Jimmy] Tonight, the 20th anniversary celebration of Rey Mysterio.
A legend in WWE, we're paying his tribute tonight.
Theory, youngest Mr. Money in the Bank ever,
youngest United States Champion.
He's thinking about legendary status as well.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre thinking about countering the plans of Theory.
[Corey] Oh, my God!
Well, after this coming Saturday,
Theory very well could become an overnight legend.
He could hypothetically leave Nashville…
As we look again, superhuman power of Drew McIntyre.
Theory could leave Nashville as United States Champion
and WWE Universal Champion.
[Saxton] Could, could, or Theory could fail miserably.
There's also that distinctive possibility.
[Jimmy] One thing he does not want to do is trade blows with Drew McIntyre,
who has been in some brutal matches with the best on the WWE roster.
[Saxton] One of the most physical Superstars, period, in Drew McIntyre.
[Corey] Theory's standing toe-to-toe right now.
[Saxton] Not for long.
[Jimmy] Confidence can work against you.
Like trying to slug it out with Drew McIntyre.
[Saxton] You wanna go in the deep waters with Drew McIntyre,
-I do not like Theory's chances. -[Jimmy] Spinebuster to the cover.
[referee] One, two.
[Jimmy] Just before three, the kick-out from Theory.
[Saxton] Take another look again.
Drew McIntyre repeatedly having his way
and nearly had the victory over Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Jimmy] All right, looking to seal the deal now.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre going to try this one more time, but-- Oh, Sheamus?
-[Jimmy] Sheamus. -[bell ringing]
[Corey] The Brawling Brutes,
Ridge Holland, Butch and Sheamus have all hit the ring.
[Jimmy] And they're all right now hitting on Drew McIntyre.
-Oh, my God! -[Corey] Drew is outnumbered badly.
-[Jimmy] An absolute beatdown in the ring. -[Saxton] Four on one.
-[Corey] Oh, no. -[Jimmy] No.
-[Corey] My God, the broken shillelagh. -["All Mighty" playing]
[Saxton] Oh, we've got some backup.
[Jimmy] Oh, and here comes "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.
[Saxton] The United States Champion is here.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God! Taking out Ridge Holland.
[Saxton] And now to Theory, his SummerSlam opponent.
[Corey] They've been adversaries in the past, but not tonight.
[Saxton] What a scene. Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley--
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Corey] Theory getting the hell out of Dodge.
Smart move, Theory.
You're a bitch!
[Jimmy] Well, expect the unexpected on Monday Night Raw.
During the break, Adam Pearce making it official, a tag-team match,
Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre versus Theory and Sheamus.
[Saxton] Pearce realizing the rising tension between these Superstars, saying,
"Hey, let's have a tag-team match. You guys can fight all you want."
[Jimmy] Sheamus looking on.
[Corey] Sheamus eager to get his hands on Drew McIntyre, but-- [chuckles]
[Saxton] Goodness gracious.
[Jimmy] Brawling Brutes, of course, on the outside,
Butch and Ridge Holland.
-[Saxton] Talking about… Oh, Sheamus. -[Jimmy] Oh!
Sheamus with a shot on the other side of the referee, Bobby Lashley.
[Corey] Well, on the Friday Night SmackDown side of things,
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have been embroiled in a battle
over who will earn the right to challenge
for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
at Clash at the Castle.
[Jimmy] That's Cardiff, Wales pride on the line for both of these Superstars.
[Corey] Oh, and if you're speaking about pride,
Sheamus, very, very fired up and offended
by what McIntyre did Friday night on SmackDown.
Using Angela, his broadsword, to destroy the family heirloom,
the shillelagh that was gifted to Sheamus by his own grandfather.
[Jimmy] Yes, Sheamus took that very, very personally.
[Saxton] That's the thing, as long as these two have known each other,
you'd think it can't get any more personal between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.
Then you see what happened last Friday night on SmackDown.
I shudder to think what these two are going to do to each other this Friday.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God.
I shudder to think about what's going to happen tonight.
[Corey] Check this power out from The Celtic Warrior.
Savoring the suffering of McIntyre.
[Jimmy] You've talked about it, Corey.
Everything coming up for all of these athletes.
All of these Superstars, Bobby Lashley taking on Theory Saturday at SummerSlam,
and yet, tonight, they're leaving everything in the ring.
[Corey] Sometimes it's about gaining an advantage by any means necessary.
If you're Bobby Lashley, you've competed against Theory.
Lashley knows what Theory's capable of.
This is a chance to soften Theory up and vice-versa.
If Theory has a chance to take out a knee or a shoulder on Bobby Lashley,
tonight's the night to do it.
You want your opponent as injured as possible coming this Saturday.
[Jimmy] And of course, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.
[Corey] These two have spent their careers trying to injure one another.
[Jimmy] The one thing about both of these Superstars,
they're willing to destroy themselves to take the other one out.
[Saxton] They welcome the physicality, they welcome…
-You want a tag? You want a tag? -What are you doing? Come on, tag, tag.
[Jimmy] Oh, toying a little bit with Theory, young buck.
[Corey] Well, obviously Sheamus feels no sort of allegiance to Theory,
and if you're Sheamus, you're thinking the same thing.
Theory has designs on becoming Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
He's Mr. Money in the Bank.
-[Jimmy] Oh, man. -[Corey] Come Clash at the Castle,
it could be Sheamus versus Theory for the title.
[Jimmy] Right now, Theory just looking on.
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre both trying to find their wits
and get to the corner because of this.
[Corey] Glasgow Kiss flattens Sheamus.
You can see Butch and Holland on the outside
taunting McIntyre like a couple of hyenas.
[Jimmy] Drew McIntyre, not a lot better but able to get to his corner.
Bobby Lashley!
[Saxton] The United States Champion laying out The Celtic Warrior.
[Jimmy] Absolutely on fire. The speed behind Bobby Lashley is stunning.
[Saxton] Think about the mode that Lashley is in these days.
He has stated multiple times.
He does not believe there is a man alive who can stop him.
[Corey] It's hard to argue with that statement.
Check out this power from The All Mighty.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
[Saxton] Making it look easy.
[Jimmy] Otherworldly strength.
Got one for Theory as well.
[Saxton] Lashley will have plenty more for Theory this Saturday at SummerSlam.
[Corey] Sheamus sent to the outside, to the feet of Holland and Butch.
The All Mighty has cleared the ring.
[Jimmy] The United States Champion.
Being champion has brought even another level out of Bobby Lashley.
-Full speed. -[Corey] Oh, baby!
That's what you get. That's what you get!
[Corey] Wow!
[Saxton] Intercepted by the knee of Sheamus, and now…
[Jimmy] Now, Butch is in the ring!
[Corey] Butch is a lunatic. We need to get somebody to take care of Butch.
-[Saxton] This dude makes me nervous. -[Jimmy] Butch not a part of this match.
[Jimmy] Butch and Ridge Holland, you just stay outside.
[Corey] Holland now from behind McIntyre.
-Oh! -[Jimmy] It's a Glasgow Kiss.
[Saxton] Now Butch gets caught.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
[Saxton] That's one way to get rid of the Butch, Holland problem.
[overlapping chatter]
[Corey] There is carnage all around ringside.
[Jimmy] They have been ejected.
The Brawling Brutes no longer at ringside.
-Now it's two on two. -[Corey] That's not fair.
They got their asses kicked, now they get kicked out?
[Saxton] Great call.
What have we learned?
[Jimmy] Welcome back.
Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre versus Theory and Sheamus.
The Brawling Brutes just ejected from ringside.
For the first time, it's two on two.
[Saxton] Butch and Ridge Holland, after their interfering ways,
ejected from the ringside area area by WWE official, Shawn Bennett,
and now we have a fair tag-team match.
We hope to be a fair tag-team match.
[Corey] Both Theory and Sheamus did a great job of weathering the early storm
provided by McIntyre and Lashley.
And, oh, my God.
-Nice. You've got to be a little-- -[Jimmy] To the cover.
Good kick-out from Bobby Lashley.
Yeah, smart strategy, to your point, Corey,
-trying to wear down Bobby Lashley. -[Corey] Theory's well aware.
You are not going to wear down The All Mighty physically.
You are not going to win a match in strength in any way, shape or form,
so you have to just slow Lashley down.
Make it hard for him to catch his breath.
[Saxton] A whole lot easier said than done
as Lashley once again making his way to his feet.
Theory desperately trying to hold on.
[Corey] With one arm.
[Jimmy] Almost got Theory up on his shoulders.
Good move by Theory, just pulled Bobby Lashley to the right corner.
[Corey] Bit of hesitation from Sheamus before tagging himself in.
We mentioned earlier, both Sheamus and Theory
both envision themselves as future faces of WWE,
as future Undisputed WWE Universal Champions.
Sheamus has certainly been on top of that.
[Saxton] Four-time World Heavyweight Champion in his own right.
[Jimmy] The animosity between Sheamus and Drew McIntyre.
Oh, my God.
Spinebuster from The All Mighty.
[Saxton] At this juncture of the match,
the fact that Bobby Lashley had enough strength
to hoist up the frame of Sheamus tells you all about his superhuman ability.
[Jimmy] It was because of Sheamus' lack of focus taking a shot at Drew McIntyre.
He had Bobby Lashley on the ropes.
[Saxton] Lashley inching closer towards McIntyre.
[Jimmy] Now Drew McIntyre the legal man, but so is Theory.
Oh, running into the freight train.
[Saxton] This is how we started off.
Originally was a one-on-one match between Drew McIntyre and Theory.
[Jimmy] Right now, Theory's wishing he was anywhere in the world
but in a ring with Drew McIntyre.
Neckbreaker.
[Saxton] McIntyre up and things are only going to get worse
for Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Corey] McIntyre stalking a fallen Theory. Future Shock DDT coming.
No.
[Jimmy] Beautiful escape by Theory, but once again, standing toe to toe.
That's been his problem with Drew McIntyre. A little too much pride.
-Spinebuster. -[crowd] One, two…
[Jimmy] Oh, almost three.
[Saxton] Theory barely able to escape.
[Corey] But Theory did escape, and that's what needs to be focused on.
Let's take a look at this.
The power of The Scottish Warrior
bouncing Theory's skull in the center of the ring
but Theory able to kick out and fight on.
[Jimmy] So much heart tonight displayed by Theory.
[Corey] Tag was made.
I don't know if Theory's aware. McIntyre to the outside.
Here comes Lashley.
-[Saxton] Lashley hoisting up Theory. -[Jimmy] Look at the air!
What goes up must come down. Cover.
[Corey] Keep your eye on Sheamus.
-Oh, God! -[Jimmy] Just in time.
A knee right to the side of the head.
[Corey] Vicious impact from The Celtic Warrior.
McIntyre sends Sheamus to the outside.
[Jimmy] The second unbelievable knee
Bobby Lashley has eaten tonight in this match.
[Corey] Thumb to the eye by Sheamus on the outside.
-[Saxton] Sheamus… -[Jimmy] Oh!
[Corey] White Noise on the outside of the ring.
McIntyre's not getting up tonight.
[Saxton] McIntyre might be done for the evening.
-[Corey] Well, Lashley's barely moved. -[crowd cheering]
[Corey] Hang on.
Theory calling for an A-Town Down.
[Jimmy] Trying to get Bobby Lashley up.
-Got him. -[Saxton] This could be a preview.
[Corey] Are we not going to-- Right here at our commentary desk.
Are we not going to acknowledge Dolph Ziggler?
Oh, no! Hurt Lock!
-[bell ringing] -[Jimmy] Tap right away!
["All Mighty" playing]
[Rome] Here are your winners, the team of Drew McIntyre
and "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley!
[Jimmy] Once again, Dolph Ziggler interjecting himself into a Theory match.
[Saxton] We've still been unable to get further insight
into why Dolph Ziggler has placed his focus on Theory, but, yeah,
for the third week now, it is Ziggler who has cost Theory with his presence.
[Corey] As outspoken as Dolph Ziggler usually is,
he's been playing his cards very close to the vest.
Let's take a look. The closing moments.
Theory was looking for A-Town Down when he realized
that Ziggler had joined us from ringside.
This momentary distraction would allow The All Mighty to do what he does best.
Execute the Hurt Lock.
In a case of self-preservation, Theory wisely tapped out almost immediately,
realizing he needs to be in the best shape possible this Saturday at SummerSlam
if he wants to become United States Champion.
[Saxton] With the growing list of enemies,
is Theory going to be in the best mental shape possible
heading towards this Saturday at SummerSlam?
[Jimmy] Apparently, Theory still confident with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
[Saxton] Oh! Speaking of enemies, oh, yes.
Add The Usos to the mix.
[Jimmy] He antagonized The Bloodline earlier tonight. The bill just came due.
[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] Here comes The Tribal Chief.
Now, when you cash in on Saturday,
you got to make sure to bring this, okay?
And when you do, make the right decision.
Make the right decision.
[crown chanting] Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?
["Done With That" playing]
[Saxton] The way this night has gone, if I'm Theory,
I'm reconsidering my plans for SummerSlam.
I'm reconsidering my intention to cash in my Money in the Bank contract.
[Corey] That's the dumbest thing you've ever said
because when you're the holder of the Money in the Bank contract,
you have a guaranteed opportunity at the time and place of your choosing.
In Theory's mind, he is the most dangerous man in WWE right now.
Well, everything surprising tonight on Monday Night Raw
but one thing that's not a surprise, one thing we planned for,
is to honor the legend, Rey Mysterio, 20 years in the WWE.
[Cole] The debut tonight of the sensational high-flyer, Rey Mysterio.
It's a four-on-one assault.
["Wherever I May Roam" playing]
Mysterio up high!
[Tazz] What the hell is Mysterio doing?
[Cole] The crossbody from the top of the cage!
The place went ballistic, and that's when we knew this guy was something special.
Rey had the capability of igniting any crowd.
I love you!
You never wanted to blink because he was going to do something incredible.
That was a guarantee.
-[Cole] It's time to dial 619. -[Lawler] 619!
All that natural athleticism and charisma.
[Randy] The connection that Mysterio had with his fans
is that they saw the ultimate underdog.
[AJ Styles] He showed it doesn't matter how big, how small you are,
if you got heart, you can accomplish anything.
[Rey] I want to dedicate this Royal Rumble to my brother,
to mi hermano, Eduardo Guerrero.
[Cole] In order to go to WrestleMania,
Mysterio is going to have to last at least 60 minutes.
♪ Anywhere I roam… ♪
-[Cole] He did it. -[Lawler] No way!
[Cole] He did it. Rey Mysterio is going to WrestleMania!
[fireworks popping]
[Cole] The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line.
-He got him. He got him. -[bell ringing]
Mysterio wins the title!
[Rey] I'm living proof that dreams come to life.
♪ Anywhere I roam ♪
♪ Where I lay my head is home ♪
[Dominik] It's been a blessing having one of the best ever do it by your side.
Tries to make me a better performer and better man.
[Cole] The Mysterios did it.
For the first time in WWE history,
a father and son hold the Tag Team Titles.
What he's been able to do in the last 20 years, Rey is a one of a kind.
Rey is respected from the newest guy all the way to the top.
Among the best that this business has ever seen.
♪ Anywhere I roam… ♪
[Cena] Someone would look at Rey Mysterio and be like, "Impossible."
To him, it's just a word.
[Rey] Every day, it's a blessing.
This is been the biggest ride of my life.
[crowd chanting] 619! 619! 619!
[crowd cheering]
[Saxton] Oh-ho.
-Look who it is. -[Corey] The man of the night.
The greatest luchador of all time.
A night 20 years in the making.
A legendary competitor, a proud husband and father.
The entire Mysterio family on hand tonight to celebrate.
What a night it's going to be, gentlemen.
[Saxton] We are celebrating 20 years of Rey Mysterio in WWE next.
[eerie music playing]
[Jimmy] We are amped up tonight on Monday Night Raw
from The City That Never Sleeps.
That's right.
A sold-out Madison Square Garden.
Home of sports entertainment, home of combat sports.
We're just getting started.
[crowd cheering]
Excuse me, Dolph Ziggler.
Since you returned a few weeks ago, Dolph,
you've continuously targeted Theory, even costing him some matches.
Can you explain your actions, please?
Kev, it's simple. I just think he needs to be taught a lesson.
I've seen 1,000 of them come and 1,000 of them go,
and everything he's accomplished so quickly,
he didn't really earn.
He's a hell of an athlete. He's handsome.
He's almost as handsome as I am. He can do it all.
You know what?
I can appreciate what you're doing out there.
You didn't do anything tonight, which is pretty clever.
You know what, Dolph? I think the two of us had to say--
Shoooosh! Okay?
I'm not going to listen to this slander,
especially from two guys that are just jealous
that Theory already surpassed your career at an exceptionally young age.
We have 16 titles.
Much like I surpassed both of your intellects
to an exceptional degree,
but, boys, jealousy… jealousy is an ugly disease, but lucky for you,
Master Gable, the man with the golden brain,
I got the cure.
And tonight, the cure is The Alpha Academy beating the jealousy out of both of you.
-Right out. -Hold on a second.
Is that your way of challenging us to a tag-team match?
Oh, oh, did you figure that out all on your own, AJ?
I'm so proud of you.
Yes, we're challenging you to a match tonight.
At the Garden Madison Square.
Okay.
We accept.
Nathan Fielder wannabe.
See you out there, kid.
I know that guy…
[murmuring] Guys. Well, yeah.
-Who's Nathan Fielder? -Ah, it's just…
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,
to celebrate his 20th anniversary in WWE,
-Rey Mysterio! -[crowd cheering]
["Booyaka 619" playing]
[Corey] 15,130 members of the WWE Universe
on their feet to pay respect.
[Jimmy] Twenty amazing, incredible years,
where we've seen the impossible from Rey Mysterio.
[Corey] Despite the laundry list of accomplishments that Rey owns,
you will not find another Superstar in the locker room
who is as generous with his time and his knowledge
for everyone who requests it.
Rey Mysterio truly is one of the greatest of all time.
[Saxton] We're looking at a man who, on so many levels,
has transformed the business,
as a cruiserweight, as a luchador, as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
[Jimmy] He's a warrior in the land of giants.
That's why the fans love him.
[Corey] Ultimate underdog. Rey Mysterio, the proud father of Dominik,
the first-ever father-son duo to win Tag Team Championships in WWE.
[Saxton] Just think of the mere influence, whether it's Raw, whether it's SmackDown,
NXT 2.0, how many Superstars across the board
who have been influenced by Rey Mysterio?
[Jimmy] He revolutionized this industry. Revolutionized the business.
[Saxton] The entire Mysterio family looking on.
You see his wife, Angie, daughter, Aalyah there in the front row.
[Corey] Saxton, did you get invited to the after-party?
[Saxton] Actually, I did for once.
-[Corey] Then I won't go now. -[Saxton] Too bad.
We won't miss you.
[Corey] Everybody here to celebrate the greatest mask of all time.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Rey! Thank you, Rey! Thank you, Rey!
Twenty years. This is special, man. Really special.
[crowd cheering]
Now, let me give you a little backstory.
I was 14 years old when I had my first match in Tijuana,
and I never imagined then in a million years
that one day I would perform inside a WWE ring.
[crowd cheering]
Travel the world, make money…
and create legendary rivalries for all of each and every one of you to enjoy.
[crowd cheering]
Now, the truth, the truth is,
guys my size back then weren't part of the business,
but I was able to break that stereotype.
I broke that so-called blueprint of what a Superstar should look like.
[crowd cheering]
Now, as a smaller guy, and as a damn proud Latino…
[crowd cheering]
I became World Champion at WrestleMania 22.
[crowd cheering]
And I made a lot of friends along the way.
Friends that I want to thank for helping pave the road for me in my career.
You might know some of these names, Dean Malenko.
[crowd cheering]
-Kanyon. ¡Órale, arriba la raza! -[crowd cheering]
-Batista. -[crowd cheering]
-Kurt Angle. -[crowd cheering]
-[in English] How about Edge? -[crowd cheering]
We cannot forget the great Eddie Guerrero.
[crowd cheering]
Eddie, I love you, man, and I miss you every damn day.
I wouldn't be here without you.
And I know you're always watching over me.
Thank you, Eddie.
[crowd cheering]
So the truth is, tonight I stand before you
and feel truly humbled and appreciative for all the love and support
you guys have given me for the past 20 years.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Rey! Thank you, Rey! Thank you, Rey!
You know, this is special,
but to be able to live all of that with my family,
it just means much more.
[crowd chanting] You deserve it! You deserve it! You deserve it!
Angie, Aalyah, I know you're watching backstage.
I just want to say thank you for always being there.
I love you both.
[crowd cheering]
Dom, I'm proud of you, son.
I'm proud of the man you have become.
And I know that one day, when I'm no longer here,
you'll be representing the Mysterio legacy to the fullest.
[crowd cheering]
I love you, son.
WWE Universe and everyone watching around the world…
thank you for accepting me,
for always rolling with The Mysterios,
and for 20 of the dopest, most awesome years.
[crowd cheering]
And I believe I save the best for last.
Last but not least, I want to thank all of you here tonight.
[crowd cheering]
I could have been any place in the world,
but I'm here tonight,
in the legendary and iconic Madison Square Garden…
[crowd cheering]
…celebrating 20 years.
Thank you, guys. I love all of you.
Gracias, mi gente.
[crowd cheering]
[in English] I love all of you guys. Thank you so much.
It means the world to me. You have no idea.
[Corey] We got company. Finn Bálor.
-The Judgment Day. -[crowd booing]
[Corey] Now is not the time, Finn.
[Jimmy] I don't think he's here to show respect.
[Corey] That's not what this is about. Not tonight.
[Finn] Congratulations.
-[Corey] Finn Bálor is mocking… Oh, no. -[Jimmy] Not alone. Not alone.
[Corey] The punisher of The Judgment Day, Damian Priest.
Priest and Bálor have the ring surrounded.
[Jimmy] Mysterios watching their backs.
[Saxton] Mysterios take on The Judgment Day in tag-team action next.
[Jimmy] We started celebrating 20 years of Rey Mysterio with his son Dominik,
and then The Judgment Day came, of course, to spoil the party.
[Corey] This was a scheduled match-up.
We knew it was going to take place, but Bálor and Priest
making sure to offer a little disrespect to Rey Mysterio
prior to the match-up.
[Jimmy] While he was giving love to the crowd here at MSG.
[Saxton] That constant disrespect is what's fired up Rey Mysterio and Dominik.
Fired up to finally remove the constant threat
of The Judgment Day in their lives.
[Jimmy] This is well beyond the ring.
He also called Rey Mysterio a bad father in front of his son.
The Judgment Day has made this very personal.
[Corey] Rey now has an opportunity to change Finn's mind. Ooh.
[Saxton] A sunset flip all the way.
[Jimmy] Oh, a beautiful reaction from Rey, taking a piece of Damian Priest.
[Saxton] Rey, you got to believe he's feeling an extra pep in his step.
Mysterio family in full force in the backstage area.
Tag made to Dominik.
[Jimmy] Now the Mysterio family in full force in the ring.
Oh!
[Corey] Look at this tandem offense. Cover by Dominik.
[Jimmy] Shoulders down.
Oh, kick-out from Finn Bálor.
[Saxton] Of course, you know on the flip side,
The Judgment Day would love to spoil the evening.
Such a historic evening for the Mysterio family.
[Corey] That's what I'm coming to find out
about the motivation of The Judgment Day.
Bálor and Priest are here to destroy your idols
and to change the future by force.
[crowd] One, two, three, four, five, six…
[Saxton] Mysterio raining down blows here on Finn Bálor.
But to your point, I guess as we pay homage to Latino Heat,
if you're The Judgment Day, I guess
it is sort of a headline-grabbing story, Corey.
-If you say-- -[Jimmy] Oh, my God.
[Saxton] You're the ones who caused dysfunction against The Mysterios,
you're the ones who overcame The Mysterios.
How much stronger does that make the message of The Judgment Day?
[both yelling]
[Corey] Tremendous impact in the corner changed the complexion of this match-up.
Bálor tags in Priest, and now The Judgment Day
in complete control of Rey Mysterio.
[Jimmy] We thought The Judgment Day wanted to recruit Dominik Mysterio.
He joined, let's say under duress, last week
during an attack on Rey Mysterio.
Then they beat them down Dom.
-"That's not what we want." -[Saxton] No.
It just proved also how loyal Dominik is to his father, Rey Mysterio,
willing to sacrifice his own career just to save his father's well-being.
[Jimmy] The Judgment Day, it's a question of who will join, who do they appeal to,
and who will they take into the fold?
Huge questions in this match.
[Corey] Imagine how much more appealing The Judgment Day will be
if they destroy and defeat The Mysterios
on Rey Mysterio's 20th anniversary celebration night.
There are a lot of people who want to be part of a movement.
[Jimmy] Cover. Shoulders down.
Did they spoil Rey's night? Not yet.
[Corey] Tonight's a chance for both Bálor and Priest to change the future
by disrespecting the past.
A lot of people pay homage and live off of past legacy.
Bálor and Priest are trying to carve their own path forcefully,
painfully and disrespectfully.
[Jimmy] Only strength matters, only the here and now, and right now,
the here now is The Judgment Day.
[Corey] Bálor stomping down on the heart of Mysterio like a dagger.
[Saxton] Bálor, who said that himself and Damian Priest plan to finish
what they started last week with Rey Mysterio and Dominik.
[Jimmy] That was one-on-one. Rey Mysterio versus Damian Priest.
And now, Finn Bálor cranking on the chin of the legend.
Family looking on backstage trying to will Rey back into this match.
[Saxton] Mysterio able to use his quickness once again
and makes the tag to his son, Dominik.
[Jimmy] Who's flying high. Crossbody. Shoulders down.
[referee] One, two--
[Jimmy] Close, but a kick-out from Finn Bálor.
Beautiful arm drag.
[Saxton] Dominik so proud of carrying the Mysterio name,
carrying on the legacy of the Mysterio family.
[Jimmy] Sold-out crowd at MSG behind young Dominik.
I think Damian Priest might be the legal man now.
[Saxton] I think you're right.
[Corey] I don't know if Dominik Mysterio is aware of that, or perhaps he is!
[Jimmy] Through the ropes.
[Saxton] Right here in front of us.
[Corey] Power from Damian Priest.
Just… Oh, God!
[roars]
[Jimmy] No celebration now from The Judgment Day.
[Jimmy] On a night when The Mysterios should be celebrating,
they're defending themselves from The Judgment Day.
It was about 20 years of Rey Mysterio, but right now, it's Dominik
defending the family name against Finn Bálor.
[Saxton] Dominik Mysterio
desperately needs to make his way to the corner,
tag in his father Rey.
[Jimmy] Damian Priest is in, but so is Rey Mysterio.
[Saxton] Rey going down low on Damian Priest, picking up speed.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
[Saxton] Classic offense from Rey Mysterio.
[Jimmy] Never know what he's going to do next,
but you know it's going to hurt.
He's been The Giant Slayer for 20 years,
doing it again against Damian Priest.
[Saxton] Mysterio makes the climb.
[Jimmy] Shoulders down. Hook of the leg.
-[Saxton] Oh! -[Jimmy] Kick-out from Damian Priest.
[Saxton] Again, no better way to make what has already been a celebratory evening
than if The Mysterios can defeat The Judgment Day here tonight.
[Corey] Oh, that's a big if, Saxton.
[Jimmy] Shoulders down, Damian Priest with the cover.
-[Saxton] Oh-ho! -[Jimmy] Milliseconds away.
[Corey] Take a look at the impact.
Boom! Right in the mouth.
-[referee] One, two-- -[Saxton] Again, Rey Mysterio's survival
in this predicament is just a hallmark of who Rey Mysterio is,
his career, his resiliency,
his ability to survive when you think he's done for.
[Jimmy] Yes, but that's being tested right now by Damian Priest.
Look at that hurricanrana escape.
[Saxton] Oh, in position is Priest.
[Jimmy] Finn Bálor just tagged himself in.
-Oh, God. -[Corey] Oh, man.
[Jimmy] Full speed!
[Saxton] Rey was looking for the 619. Change of plans courtesy of Finn Bálor.
[Corey] Oh!
Shotgun dropkick in the corner. Rey Mysterio is in the drop zone.
-Finn Bálor perched up top. -[Jimmy] Coup de Grace.
There it is. This one's finished, gentlemen.
[crowd] One, two--
[Saxton] Oh, it's not finished. Not yet.
[Corey] Dominik Mysterio at 2.999,
keeping this match-up alive for himself and his father.
[Jimmy] Interrupted what would have been a surefire three count.
Finn Bálor can't believe it.
[Saxton] Finn Bálor looks incensed. What is Damian--
Oh, no, not this. Not this again.
Damian Priest has got a steel chair.
A sick smile on the face of Finn Bálor.
[Jimmy] Seems he's not worried about a disqualification.
Now Finn Bálor's got it in hand.
Referee's back is turned.
[Corey] Oh, wow.
[Saxton] Oh, reversal of the old Eddie Guerrero trick,
but the referee's still distracted.
[Saxton] Dominik Mysterio has the official's attention.
-[Corey] Oh, hey. -[Jimmy] Chair through the guts.
[Saxton laughs] That's how you do it.
[Jimmy] Turnabout is fair play.
[Saxton] Oh, the official is debating disqualifying Finn Bálor in the meantime.
[Jimmy] Not even waiting for it is Rey Mysterio.
-Dial it up, gentlemen. -[Saxton] MSG style.
[Jimmy] 619 on The Judgment Day.
[Saxton] Mysterio, headed up top.
[Jimmy] DQ's not good enough.
Not for Rey Mysterio, not tonight.
One, two, three!
-Victory on his 20th anniversary! -[bell ringing]
["Booyaka 619" playing]
[Jimmy] La familia celebrates.
[Rome] Your winners, Dominik and Rey Mysterio!
[Saxton] Could you have asked for a better outcome for Rey and Dominik Mysterio?
Overcoming The Judgment Day here tonight,
and now, the celebration of Rey Mysterio's
twenty-year career here in WWE continues on, all night long.
How could you not be pumped?
[Jimmy] As the party continues, another Superstar,
speaking of the legend of Rey Mysterio,
another Superstar working on his legendary credentials, Cody Rhodes,
recognized by the fans, by the rest of the WWE,
and recognized at the ESPYS.
[Stephen Curry] Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 2022 ESPY Awards.
I am so ready to celebrate this amazing year of sports that we've all had.
So many special people, so many amazing talents.
To be able to participate with these other athletes and celebrities,
celebrating what we do respectively in our fields, that's amazing.
[applause]
[man] This year's winner of Best WWE Moment, Cody Rhodes.
To be the one who's taking home the WWE Moment of the Year feels good.
Coming back was a significant moment for me,
and I think it resonated with people.
For them to have loved this moment so much,
and to have voted for it here, I know we're doing something right.
This is an incredible award, surrounded by inspiring elite athletes.
It's a good moment.
[Jimmy] Oh, she is waking to the ring with confidence, Bianca Belair.
We are going to hear from The EST for her showdown Saturday on Raw, next.
[Saxton] Well, ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw
is presented by Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
Order one hand-breaded chicken menu item on the Carl's Jr. and Hardee's app
and get another for just $1.
[all cheering]
[all chanting] Rey! Rey! Rey!
[all cheering]
[man] The best, kid.
-Twenty years, baby. -Ah, 20 years in the making.
[man] Twenty years, baby. The best, 20, the GOAT…
[all cheering]
[all chanting] Rey! Rey! Rey!
[all cheering]
[man] Shots, shots, shots.
-Salud. -[all cheering]
[man] Let's go, Rey!
-You have something for me? -Yeah!
-You have something for me? Really? -Yes!
Mom told me.
-Oh, my God! -[all cheering]
-And I got this for you. -[man] Yeah! Uh-oh.
Did you pay for it?
[cheers and laughter]
-Yeah, man. -[man] Dom…
-What you got? -[Rey] Oh, my God.
[all exclaiming]
[Rey] Where did you find this?
-[all exclaiming] -Oh, my God.
-[man] Oh, man.
-That's crazy. -Original 1997 Halloween Havoc, oh!
[all cheering]
Oh, my God!
-That's awesome, it's sick. -[man] Yes.
-The original. -Where did you find this?
-I've looking for it. -Had to dig, but I got it.
-Is this the original? -That's the original, that's the original.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Rhea, please, this is a party.
This is a special night, and there's no need for you to ruin it.
-I think it's time for you to go. -Get out of here.
[Rey] Aalyah, Aalyah, Aalyah, step back.
-Aalyah, hey, hey! -[all shouting indistinctly]
[man] You guys first. You guys first. Angie, Angie.
[Rey groaning]
[indistinct shouting]
[Finn laughs] It's not your anniversary, it's my birthday.
[Rey groaning]
-[Damian Priest] Yes. -[Finn] Hey, come on.
-[Damian Priest] Yeah. -[laughing]
[Damian Priest] Oh, yeah.
Let's start this party.
[Rey grunting]
[objects clattering]
[The Judgment Day laughing]
-[Aalyah] Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.
-[Aalyah] Are you okay? -Oh, my God.
-[Finn] Whose party is it now, huh? -Are you okay?
-What a celebration. [laughs] -Twenty years. Twenty years.
Hey, Dom, hey, Dom, looks like you got a…
I completely understand wanting to make an impact,
wanting to make some waves here on Monday Night Raw,
but that was classless and disrespectful from The Judgment Day.
Disgusting is what it was.
Yes, everyone looking for an advantage moving toward Saturday and SummerSlam.
Bianca Belair taking on Becky Lynch, but it was not a sure thing.
Let's take a look back at what got Bianca Belair her spot at SummerSlam.
["Watch Me Shine" playing]
[Rome] Please welcome the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair!
[Saxton] Bianca Belair, all sorts of fired up
knowing in just five nights, she's got a chance
to complete her SummerSlam comeback story.
Last week, we had it solidified
just who Bianca Belair would defend against this Saturday.
[crowd cheering]
[man] Tasty match-ups is presented by Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.
Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are offering a "buy one get one for just a $1" deal
on their hand-breaded chicken menu,
so order through the app and call a friend, or keep both.
[Becky Lynch] The winner of the championship match
between Carmella and Bianca Belair
will have to face me at SummerSlam.
[Corey] If the champion is counted out, Carmella will become Raw Women's Champion.
The only thing that anybody remembers about Bianca's title reign is me.
[Jimmy] Belair makes it inside the ring.
KOD on Carmella!
[bell ringing]
[Saxton] At SummerSlam, Belair defends the Raw Women's Championship
against "Big Time" Becky Lynch.
[Jimmy] What an insult.
And Becky Lynch has been nothing short of obsessed
with the Raw Women's Title.
At SummerSlam Saturday, she gets her opportunity.
[Corey] Becky Lynch wants to repeat history,
repeat what she accomplished last year at SummerSlam.
And once again, at the expense of The EST.
["Celtic Invasion" playing]
[Saxton] Oh-ho!
[Jimmy] Before the champ can even say a word, Byron.
[Saxton] You know what? I'm not even surprised.
Not even surprised at all.
"Big Time" Becky Lynch is here.
-Welcome-- -Girl, girl, uh-uh.
Oh, you think you're going to stop me in your tracks, huh?
Choo, choo! [laughs]
Now, Becky, we all know that you got the biggest mouth
but The EST didn't come to NYC to hear you run it.
So I'm going to let you finish.
I'm going to let you finish, but before you start all that complaining,
let me remind you of a few things, okay?
I am the strong-est,
-the rough-est, the tough-est-- -Bianca, you--
And the quick-est. [laughs]
Sorry, sorry. Go ahead. Finish.
-I am the-- -And the great-est and the best.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God!
-[Corey] Lynch has heard enough. -You want to cut me off?
You want to cut me off? You want to cut me off?
[Jimmy] Becky Lynch might be the sneaky-est…
But she's not ready for a fight right now. Not like this.
[Corey] The chaos continues tonight in Manhattan.
[Saxton] Oh, the earrings just came off. It's getting real now.
[Corey] Becky Lynch now bringing the fight to the champion.
These two don't want to wait till Saturday.
[Jimmy] The animosity spilling over.
[Corey] Get these officials back out here. Separate these two women.
[Saxton] Right now, nothing is stopping
Belair and Lynch from tearing each other apart.
[Corey] Heavy elbows being dropped by the champion.
A right hand rocks the challenger.
[Jimmy] All the memories of last year's SummerSlam.
[Saxton] Belair hoisting up Becky Lynch.
-[commentators exclaim] -[Corey] Oh, my God.
[Corey] Lynch is carrying the champion over the ropes by her braid.
-[Jimmy] It's an absolute brawl. -[Corey] Get some officials out here.
[Saxton] Quite frankly, I don't understand why we don't have any help out here.
-[Corey] Oh, my God! -[Saxton] Look out.
[Corey] This is insane.
This is par for the course tonight, since we came on the air.
It has been nothing but chaos, the chaos is continuing.
[Saxton] Finally, our officials are out here trying to separate these two.
[indistinct shouting]
[Jimmy] Everything outside the ring, absolutely destroyed.
We expect nothing less, but they are not the only ones.
[Corey] They're not done yet.
[crowd chanting] Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight!
[Corey] New York City, the Garden wants to see these two fight.
It's going down Saturday.
[Becky Lynch] Get off me.
[Jimmy] But they're not the only women looking to make a mark.
Last week, it was Asuka and Alexa Bliss versus Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop.
[Saxton] We'd see a bit of a miscue by Doudrop on the outside,
which then allowed Alexa Bliss to focus on her former tag-team partner, Nikki A.S.H.,
and in this case, one emphatic DDT later,
and Alexa Bliss pinning the shoulders of Nikki A.S.H.
And, you know, Nikki's partner Doudrop,
none too happy about the results of this tag-team match-up.
["Fight Me" playing]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, Alexa Bliss.
[crowd cheering]
Alexa, tonight, you face a familiar opponent, Doudrop.
What's your mindset heading into the match, and what's next for you?
I mean, it's fine Doudrop keeps demanding these matches,
but here's what I don't understand.
I don't understand Nikki and Doudrop's dynamic.
They make fun of me for hanging out with Lilly, but why are they friends?
They hang out with each other. They benefit.
They don't benefit anything from it.
Don't get me wrong, love Lilly,
but she doesn't need me and I don't need her.
Lilly's an independent woman.
Believe it or not, she makes her own money.
WWE Shop, she is number one.
Now, let me tell you why I'm number one.
Becky, Bianca,
it doesn't matter which one of you wins at SummerSlam.
You both better watch your backs, because mark my words,
I'm reclaiming my place at the top of this Women's Division.
["Fight Me" playing]
[Corey] Wow.
[Jimmy] Just in case you're wondering what Alexa Bliss' motivation is,
make a statement in this match,
crawl her way, claw her way back to the top.
[bell ringing]
[Rome] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio,
Alexa Bliss!
[Saxton] Alexa Bliss has her sights set on the Raw Women's Championship,
but first will turn her attention to the ultra-dangerous Doudrop.
It's Bliss one-on-one with Doudrop live, next on Raw.
[Jimmy] SummerSlam is presented by Xfinity.
Xfinity Internet helps protect your devices at home,
and now on the go, with advanced security.
Unbeatable Internet, only from Xfinity.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Damian Priest] Hey… -Hey, you can't…
[overlapping shouting]
Dom! [speaks Spanish]
-[groans] -[laughs]
[in English] Happy 20th, Rey.
[laughing]
[Dominik] Hey!
Are you okay?
[overlapping chatter]
[Jimmy] No bottom.
[Saxton] When is enough for The Judgment Day?
[Jimmy] No bottom to The Judgment Day.
[Saxton] This is supposed to be a 20-year celebration for Rey Mysterio,
and now, who knows what kind of condition Mysterio is in?
[Jimmy] Absolutely unbelievable.
We thought we'd seen it all from The Judgment Day.
[Corey] We've only seen the beginning.
[Saxton] Rhea Ripley, we haven't seen her in weeks.
[Jimmy] Now making her presence known, and Alexa Bliss, trying to remind…
[bell ringing]
…the WWE Universe how deadly and dangerous she is against Doudrop.
No easy task there.
[Saxton] A.S.H. already in the early going,
trying to get involved here.
You talk about Alexa Bliss, remember Alexa's a--
Nikki's still not done.
[Jimmy] Oh, she's got Lilly. Oh!
-[Corey] That took care of Nikki. -[Jimmy] Oh, my God.
Crossbody might be able to end this early.
[Corey] That's going to do it.
[Jimmy] A kick-out from Alexa Bliss.
[Saxton] Sometimes you forget
that Alexa Bliss is a five-time Women's Champion,
highly capable of being a threat on any night to the Raw Women's Champion.
[Jimmy] Alexa Bliss said, "I'm out to remind everybody
they've forgotten about me."
"Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, I'm coming for the title."
[Saxton] That's what happens when you mess with Lilly.
Nikki A.S.H., and Alexa Bliss will pay for having her attention diverted.
One, two--
[Jimmy] Alexa Bliss said, "Why are they friends?"
"Why are Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. working together?"
I think we're seeing why tonight.
[Saxton] Well, we've learned about this relationship
between Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
It goes back to their days, breaking into the industry in Scotland.
Doudrop for a long time said, "Listen, Nikki, I know what's in you."
"I know you can be better. You need to refocus yourself."
That's what Doudrop has been attempting to do for Nikki A.S.H.
[Jimmy] Oh, look at the strength of Doudrop.
-To the cover, shoulders down. -One, two--
[Corey] It's a mutually beneficial relationship
between Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.,
unlike the relationship that used to exist between Alexa Bliss and Nikki A.S.H.
Much like the relationship that used to exist between Alexa Bliss
and any number of people in WWE.
Alexa Bliss uses you up and then chucks you to the curb.
[Saxton] I don't necessarily agree with that statement,
as a lot of people would not.
[Corey] Sure Twitter's going to be mad at me for that one too.
-[Saxton] Par for the course. -[Jimmy] Always mad at you,
but Alexa Bliss trying to fight her way out of this predicament against Doudrop.
[Saxton] We've seen Doudrop, in the past,
come very close to becoming Raw Women's Champion.
Certainly, a threat in her own right.
Doudrop's going to have her eyes locked on
who walks out of SummerSlam as the Raw Women's Champion.
[Jimmy] Very competitive matches with Becky Lynch last year.
Doudrop now looking for that momentum again at the expense--
-Oh, shoulders down. -One, two--
…of Alexa Bliss.
Trying to get it finished, but can't go toe-to-toe with Doudrop.
That's what we're finding out,
she's the wrecking machine of the Women's Division.
[Saxton] A lot of bitterness from Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
over the last couple of weeks in tag-team action.
We've seen Bliss with multiple partners earn victories.
[Corey] That's why Bliss carries that doll around with her.
Something that can't realize what she's all about, an inanimate object.
[Saxton] It's like an emotional support animal.
[Corey] Like a friend that wasn't going to realize that she was being used.
[Saxton] Okay.
[Jimmy] Oh! Doudrop trying to get in it
by smashing Alexa Bliss against the turnbuckle.
-Oh, my God. -[Corey] Wow.
[Jimmy] We talk about the power, toe-to-toe ability
of Doudrop we've seen over and over.
[Corey] Doudrop nearly turned Bliss's lights out with that.
[Saxton] Great wherewithal there from Alexa Bliss, tripping up Doudrop.
Now Bliss going to town here on Doudrop, multiple strikes.
[Jimmy] Finally has Doudrop right where she wants her, unfortunately.
Doudrop, no escape right now as right now Alexa Bliss picking up momentum.
-[Saxton] There's the dropkick by Bliss. -[Jimmy] The cover.
-One, two-- -[Jimmy] Just tossed off by Doudrop.
[Corey] Bliss looking frustrated.
I think Doudrop is a little more than Alexa had bargained for.
Maybe Bliss is looking too far ahead of "Big Time" Becks and The EST.
Trust me, Doudrop can present a trap game scenario
for anybody in the Women's Division.
[Jimmy] Yeah, we've seen it over and over from Doudrop, people who overlook her,
underestimate her. She has speed and strength,
just like that, but a good move from Alexa Bliss.
[Saxton] Not going to overpower Doudrop, Alexa Bliss can use her speed,
and now looking to use her aerial ability.
-Perched on the top rope and Nikki again-- -[Jimmy] There's Nikki A.S.H.
…once again inserting herself into this match.
[Jimmy] We were asking why the partnership.
I think that's exactly why.
[Corey] Make it to the top by any means necessary.
Here we go, big ti-- Oh!
[Jimmy] Oh, my God! What an escape to the DDT.
-Cover. -[referee] One, two, three.
-A huge win for Alexa Bliss. -[bell ringing]
["Fight Me" playing]
[Rome] Here's your winner, Alexa Bliss!
[Saxton] Another heck of a statement from Bliss,
overcoming multiple attempts from Nikki A.S.H. to interfere
and defeating Doudrop.
[Corey] Listen, I've said for weeks now,
we need to see that Alexa Bliss still has an element of the Bliss of old,
the one that can go into the deep waters,
the one who has what it takes to be a champion.
One, two, three.
And tonight, I think we saw our first glimpse of that fight,
surviving an encounter with Doudrop.
[Jimmy] Yeah, certainly an edge to Alexa Bliss tonight.
She's ready for the winner Saturday.
Listen. I love what you did out there tonight.
[crowd cheering]
No pun intended, but it was phenomenal.
So if you need anything around here, just say the word.
Now, by me saying, "I like what you did out there,"
doesn't mean I necessarily like you.
I don't know you that well, but I like The Miz way less.
So do everyone a favor and shut his mouth at SummerSlam.
I got you.
[Jimmy] If you get the respect of AJ Styles, that means something.
Well, we started out with a brawl to open up Monday Night Raw.
Now it continues.
Logan Paul gets a microphone again.
Impaulsive TV makes its Raw debut next.
[Jimmy] That's right, we are in New York City for Monday Night Raw.
Some amazing teams like the Jets, Giants, New York Yankees
and the Mets doing great this year.
But here at Madison Square Garden, what do we think about?
We think about fights, and that's exactly how
we opened up Monday Night Raw tonight.
[Corey] Prior to Monday Night Raw even coming on the air,
Logan Paul would call out The Miz.
The Miz would oblige and chaos would ensue.
These two have grown so tired of one another,
there's only room enough on Raw for one.
This coming Saturday, the score hopefully will be settled.
[Saxton] It was Logan Paul who said
the only reason he signed a contract with WWE
was to get his hands on The Miz,
to prove The Miz wrong, to prove that he can defeat The Miz.
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] It took many WWE officials backstage,
producers, to separate Logan Paul and Miz from one another.
That's how we came on the air,
and the chaos has continued all night long here in Madison Square Garden.
[indistinct shouting]
[upbeat music playing]
[Jimmy] Well, it's been a night full of surprises, gentlemen.
I think they'll continue.
[Corey] I hope Logan's not here to give some movie reviews.
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the host of Impaulsive TV,
Logan Paul!
[Jimmy] Byron, you know The Miz isn't going to take this well.
[Saxton] The Miz doesn't take anything well regarding Logan Paul,
but at least he cleaned up a bit
for the first-ever edition of Impaulsive TV here on Raw.
-New York City! -[crowd cheering]
We are at Madison Square Garden,
and, guys, I've got to say, it's crazy,
because my brother is actually going to be fighting here next weekend.
[crowd booing]
But it's not next weekend.
It's today, and today is tonight,
and tonight is Monday Night Raw
and the debut of Impaulsive TV, baby.
[laughs]
It is just like The Miz TV, but people actually watch.
So let's get a little impulsive, shall we?
Miz, I want to finish what we started earlier.
So why don't you get out here
and let's do this in the mecca of entertainment?
Come on out here, Miz.
[Saxton] Oh, are we going to see another fight between Logan Paul and The Miz?
[Jimmy] What we saw earlier tonight was similar words.
Oh, wow. I'm actually surprised.
Come on, buddy, this is your MO.
You love getting all the attention, being in the limelight.
I mean, come on.
Miz, get out here.
[Saxton] Maybe Miz had enough earlier.
You are backstage, probably trembling with your shriveled, tiny, little prunes.
Come on, Miz, let's make another WrestleMania moment.
-["Pourquoi?" playing] -[Corey] Hold on just a second.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
This… This is incredible.
This is like ordering a cheeseburger and they bring you a filet mignon.
Logan, Logan, Logan, I don't appreciate you
talking about my amazing, awesome, fantastic reality show, Miz & Mrs.,
which airs tonight after Monday Night Raw on the USA Network.
It's a double finale and it's going to be awesome.
-[Jimmy] Catch all that? -Second,
you don't talk about my kids ever again.
And most of all,
most of all…
I don't appreciate you talking about my man's geni…
My man's genital… My man's geni… [spluttering]
My man's… [sighs]
My man's package.
[Corey] English is her second language.
Do you really think I, me, Maryse, I would…
[crowd chanting] Tiny balls! Tiny balls! Tiny balls!
[Maryse] It's not a thing.
-[Saxton] It is a popular opinion. -[Corey] Shut up, Saxton.
-You got some sort of weird, fleshy mouth. -Do you know what this means?
When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut.
[crowd booing]
I'll have you know, Logan,
that the average size of a man's testicles,
an adult man's testicles, is in between 1.8 to 2 inches,
and my husband's testicles really fit into these parameters.
Oh, my God. Lady, who measures their testicles?
["I Came to Play" playing]
[Saxton] Yeah, I don't want the answer to that question.
[Jimmy] Finally.
[Corey] I feel like I need a shower.
[Saxton] Well, finally, The Miz will oblige
and join Logan Paul on Impaulsive TV.
[Corey] Look at… Look at Miz.
I do…
[Saxton] Okay.
And so does every single man in this arena.
[crowd cheering]
-[Saxton] Uh… -But this isn't about that.
This is about you and me at SummerSlam.
Let me explain something to you.
I gave you everything, Logan.
If it wasn't for what I taught you, you wouldn't be back in the WWE.
Without me, you wouldn't have a WrestleMania match.
Without me, you wouldn't have a SummerSlam match,
and then you turn around and challenge me?
You owe everything to me.
So let me be perfectly clear.
I taught you everything you know, I didn't teach you everything I know.
So, at SummerSlam, you're not getting fun-loving dad Miz,
you're not getting reality show Miz, you are getting big moment Miz,
two-time Grand Slam Champion Miz,
beating John Cena in the main event Miz,
and when the dust all settles at SummerSlam,
you and every moron here will know why I am awes--
Shut up!
I called you out here to throw down and all you do is talk.
You know, Miz, I always knew that you had tiny ball--
[Jimmy] Oh!
Wow. Congrats, Maryse, you got bigger balls than your husband.
-[crowd cheering] -[Saxton scoffs]
[Jimmy] Oh, Ciampa!
[Corey] Ciampa came in and tried to jump Logan from behind,
and Paul is teeing off in the corner.
[Jimmy] Fighting back, but once again, it's two-on-one.
[Saxton] Much like last week all over again.
Logan Paul now turning his attention towards The Miz,
-and here comes Ciampa. -[Jimmy] Can't take your eyes off Ciampa.
[Corey] Ciampa's been doing the bidding
of The Miz in recent weeks to great effect.
[Jimmy] Yeah, sneak attack after sneak attack.
This time, Logan Paul in big trouble.
[Saxton] Paul. Paul is still fighting.
[Jimmy] Got fired up going after The Miz, but how long can he handle this?
[Saxton] I don't know. There's only so much
Logan Paul is going to be able to do against the likes of The Miz and Ciampa.
Putting the boots to Logan Paul five nights ahead of SummerSlam.
[Corey] I guess Impaulsive TV is officially over.
[Jimmy] Yeah, but the humiliation of Logan Paul continues.
Skull-Crushing Finale.
Miz, the kind of guy who looks for every advantage.
[Saxton] Very well could be the scene at SummerSlam.
If that happens to Logan Paul, good night.
[crowd cheering and chanting]
["I Came to Play" playing]
[Jimmy] Ciampa and The Miz proud of their handiwork against Logan Paul.
You talk about advantages, it's advantage Miz tonight.
[Corey] This is a big-time marquee match-up
for this Saturday at SummerSlam.
And while Logan Paul may be one of the biggest stars in the world,
he is stepping into Miz's world.
WWE is where Miz is The A-lister.
It could be a long night Saturday.
The Miz has promised to bring his A-game to take on Logan Paul.
Another match we're all looking forward to,
of course, The Usos versus The Street Profits,
with special referee Jeff Jarrett.
They're backstage right now with Kevin Patrick.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce The Street Profits.
-Yeah! -[crowd cheering]
Now, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos.
And SummerSlam's special guest referee,
WWE Hall of Famer, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett.
[crowd cheering]
Now, gentlemen, The Usos and The Street Profits
will go head-to-head tonight in a six-man tag-team match, but on Saturday,
at SummerSlam, they'll be competing for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.
-Gentlemen, my first question-- -Hey, hey, hey.
Listen here, Kev.
Tonight will give The Usos a little preview
of what's going to happen on Saturday at SummerSlam.
Yes, sir.
That's cool because we're going to body you at SummerSlam
-like we did at Money in the Bank, Uce. -Yes, sir.
-You ain't bodying nobody because we-- -[indistinct shouting]
Shut up!
[laughs] Yes, chill out.
Shut up!
Now, anyone who gets out of line tonight,
I'm going to remember it come SummerSlam.
So, tonight, keep the peace.
He told y'all to shut up.
He ain't talking to us because The Street Profits are up and we want the smoke.
That's cool, Uce, because you the twos and We The--
[crowd] Ones!
[Jimmy] Jeff Jarrett laying down the law.
[Saxton] So far, Double J holding down the fort.
I respect his referee game.
["Phenomenal" playing]
[Jimmy] Speaking of dynamic tag teams,
we might see one formed tonight,
with two incredible veterans in the same ring at the same time.
-[Corey] I'm exciting about this tandem. -["Here to Show the World" playing]
[Rome] The following contest is a tag-team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler!
[Jimmy] AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler.
We don't know what's going on with Dolph Ziggler,
but apparently, he's gotten the respect of AJ Styles.
They have a tough test in front of them
when they take on the always dangerous Alpha Academy, that's right.
The odd couple comes together. Monday Night Raw, next.
[man reading]
[Jimmy] In the ring right now, Monday Night Raw,
an unlikely pairing in AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler.
[Corey] Bound my mutual respect.
["Shoooosh" playing]
[Jimmy] Respect is not the first thing
that comes to mind when I think of Alpha Academy.
[Corey] It should be.
[Rome] Their opponents, Otis and Chad Gable,
Alpha Academy!
Shoooosh!
[crowd booing]
New York, I'm disappointed in you. You know better than that.
You do not boo an Olympian.
You do not boo a man with a master's degree
and you do not boo a man that did it with an immaculate 4.0 GPA.
Oh, thank you!
[Corey] They're all facts. I'm pretty sure it's in the Constitution.
Shoooosh.
You're the ones that decided to live
on this decomposing, putrid excuse of an island, okay, not me.
An island, in fact, that's about to end up at the bottom of the ocean
when it collapses under the weight of human garbage that lives on it right now.
[crowd booing]
Hey, don't get hot at me. That's just science, okay?
That's just science.
And while I'm talking about human beings that I despise,
let me turn my attention to you two.
AJ, Dolph, just another couple of guys thrown together on a team,
no rhyme, no reason,
ultimately going to end up a disappointment.
You remind me a lot of an organization,
an embarrassment that I like to call the New York Knicks.
[crowd booing]
So why don't you two do New York a favor?
Step aside, let them get a good look at a real tag team.
The Intellect, Master Gable,
The Tree Trunk, my prized pupil, Otis,
The Alpha Academy.
-Oh, thank you! -[crowd booing]
[Corey] Did you learn anything, Saxton?
I find it difficult to listen to Gable speak
without learning a few new facts each and every time.
[Saxton] I find it difficult to listen to Gable speak, period.
-Ring the bell. -[bell ringing]
[Jimmy] He had some disparaging words for the team of Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles.
[Saxton] Gable says he doesn't know why they were thrown together.
Actually, AJ Styles was the one who approached Dolph Ziggler,
-said, "Hey, listen. I appreciate--" -[Corey] Hold on.
[Saxton] "I appreciate our mutual disdain for--"
[Jimmy] Beautiful dropkick.
[Saxton] Chad Gable and Otis, who laid down the challenge
for AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler.
[Jimmy] Chad Gable does have a point about the newness of the tag team.
We know how great AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler are as individuals…
Shoooosh.
…but how will they gel together? It's an important question.
[Corey] We will find out as this match progresses.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God. Another beautiful dropkick,
this time courtesy of AJ Styles.
[Corey] Almost a game of one-upmanship as far as dropkick expertise goes.
Chad, get in the ring. One.
[Corey] The man with the golden brain on the outside. Here comes Styles.
[Jimmy] Right over the top, and down goes Chad Gable.
Big brain on the floor.
[referee] One, two…
[Jimmy] Yeah, welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
The Alpha Academy right now having their way with AJ Styles.
His tag partner, Dolph Ziggler,
watching helplessly, now knocked off the apron.
-Cover. -One, two--
[Jimmy] The Tree Trunk almost got three with that one.
[Corey] During the break, we saw what Otis was capable of.
First by flattening AJ Styles,
and then continuing to pour on the punishment
by depositing Styles onto the top of the barricade, spine-first.
Things looking bleak for The Phenomenal One.
[Saxton] This is just a reminder.
As accomplished as AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler are as singles competitors,
you're dealing with former Raw Tag Team Champions in The Alpha Academy.
[Jimmy] A huge upset over RK-Bro to win the titles,
but they're a team that's worked together for a long time. Oh!
[Corey] AJ out of the way just in time. He needs to make a tag.
-Here comes Ziggler. -[Jimmy] Over the top.
We've wondered what he's been going to do for weeks,
interfering with the matches of Theory.
And now we're seeing that athleticism on display.
-Oh, my God! -[Corey] That is it.
-Night-night, Dolph. -[Jimmy] Ho-ho.
[Corey] My God. I haven't seen impact like that
since Saxton got mugged by Elmo in Times Square.
[Saxton] That never happened.
-[Corey] That's not what I heard. -[Jimmy] Was it four to one?
-[Saxton] I'd rather not talk about it. -[Corey] Big tag.
Here comes the man with the golden brain as we look at this once again.
-Pow! -[Saxton] One shot is all it took.
All the force, oh, of the 330-lb frame of Otis.
[Jimmy] Sprinting into a brick wall.
[Corey] Dolph might've spit a few teeth all the way to Brooklyn.
Get up. Get up.
[Jimmy] Now the head of The Alpha Academy has Dolph Ziggler in his sights.
-Beautiful job rolling through. -Thank you!
[Corey] American Automatic, well done.
Ziggler in all types of trouble.
[Saxton] AJ Styles still taken out of the equation.
Dolph Ziggler in major peril now.
[Jimmy] Like you said before the match,
we have the superior tag team in Alpha Academy about to show why.
Oh, my God. A move just in time from Dolph Ziggler.
-[Corey] Oh! -[Jimmy] To the superkick. Cover.
Oh, and The Tree Trunk keeping the pin from happening.
[Corey] Great closing speed by Otis, and here is power--
[Corey and Jimmy exclaim]
[Corey] Otis still on his feet.
-[Jimmy] Pelé. -Pelé Kick.
[Saxton] Great tandem offense there from Ziggler and Styles.
[Corey] Smart move by Gable.
[Saxton] Gable looking for the-- Whoa.
-[Corey] Oh! -[Jimmy] Talk about teamwork.
[Jimmy] Laid out is Chad Gable.
-To the cover. What a victory. -[bell ringing]
["Here to Show the World" playing]
[Rome] Here are your winners, the team of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
and Dolph Ziggler!
[Corey] Ziggler and Styles wisely getting out of harm's way
as Otis is furious after an upsetting loss
at the hands of a newly formed duo, Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles.
[Jimmy] The wild night continues
and there's a reason for all the surprises.
Everyone aiming for an advantage at SummerSlam.
That's right, Nashville, Tennessee,
Nissan Stadium, that's what it all leads up to.
That's where everything is on the line for these Superstars.
[Corey] Smashville, get ready.
We are going to take over like only WWE can.
[Jimmy] Well, they started out tonight with an absolute brawl,
and then it continued.
That's right, Logan Paul versus The Miz,
they will settle it at SummerSlam.
The A-lister versus The Social Media Sensation.
[Corey] And our "All Mighty" United States Champion Bobby Lashley
will defend his gold against the former United States Champion
and current Mr. Money in the Bank, Theory.
[Saxton] Seth "Freakin" Rollins has said Riddle is stupid for believing
that he can actually defeat him at SummerSlam.
What will The Original Bro have planned this Saturday?
We'll find out. Riddle, Rollins.
Well, it's been a dream story of the championship of Liv Morgan,
but will she run into a dose of cold reality
when she takes on the former champion Ronda Rousey?
Will Cinderella break her slipper?
[Corey] Former friends and teammates will collide
as my guy Happy Corbin shuts Pat McAfee up once and for all
this Saturday at SummerSlam.
[Saxton] Hall of Famer "Double J" Jeff Jarrett will have to keep the peace
when The Usos defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
against The Street Profits.
This was just made official tonight,
the 20th anniversary of Rey Mysterio.
Rey Mysterio and Dominik will take on The Judgment Day
in a No Disqualification Tag Team Match after their cowardly attack tonight.
[Corey] Last year, Becky Lynch returned at SummerSlam to spoil it for Bianca Belair.
They've come full circle and we're going to run it back a year later.
Bianca Belair defends the Raw Women's Title against "Big Time" Becky Lynch.
[Saxton] It is the last time, the last match, Last Man Standing,
as Roman Reigns defends the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
against "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar.
[Corey] Last time, last match, Last Man Standing.
["Head of the Table" playing]
[Saxton] Speaking of the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion…
[Jimmy] Already made an appearance tonight.
Theory paid the price for disrespecting The Bloodline.
Could the pressure of SummerSlam mean something to The Bloodline,
but I see nothing but confidence and calm on their faces.
[Corey] The Bloodline thrives under pressure.
[bell ringing]
[Rome] The following contest
is a six-man tag-team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman,
they are the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos,
and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns!
[Saxton] There is an unmistakable aura, a presence
when The Bloodline enters the arena.
[Jimmy] Well, the first time they've come to the Red Brand since WrestleMania.
The Bloodline take on Riddle and The Street Profits
in a six-man tag match leading into SummerSlam this Saturday.
So much on the line tonight.
[Corey] We are in for a treat on Monday Night Raw.
The Head of the Table live and in living color.
[Jimmy] Dominance personified.
[Saxton] It's all in the gold. The Unified Tag Team Titles.
[Corey] And The Tribal Chief looking absolutely yoked tonight.
[Jimmy] It isn't just the physique,
it isn't just the gold, it's the calm in the eyes.
[Corey] The confidence, the ability to succeed when the chips are down,
when the pressure is at its highest, when the heat is at its hottest.
No one does it like Roman and The Bloodline.
[fireworks popping]
[Jimmy] Three men, six belts,
The Bloodline takes on the Riddle Bro and The Street Profits next on Raw.
[Jimmy] Unbelievable tonight that we are seeing
The Bloodline in the ring at Monday Night Raw.
Why? A Last Man Standing Match
awaiting Roman Reigns against Brock Lesnar live on WWE on Peacock,
and there he is in the center of the ring tonight.
[Corey] The only way to win is to incapacitate your opponent so much so
that they cannot answer the official's count of ten.
It will be brutal on another level.
["Bring the Swag" playing]
[Rome] And their opponents, first, at a combined weight of 492 lbs,
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, The Street Profits.
[Jimmy] This Saturday, taking on The Usos, but they always want the smoke, Byron.
[Saxton] They always want the smoke.
In five nights, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins
could be calling themselves the new Unified WWE Tag Team Champions.
-["We Up" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Rome] And their tag-team partner,
"The Original Bro" Riddle!
[Jimmy] Always smiling, always happy, always upbeat.
He's taking on Seth "Freakin" Rollins this Saturday.
Got to be mentally, physically peaked and prepared for that.
[Corey] The Street Profits are searching for the smoke,
Riddle knows exactly where to find it.
Big opportunity for all three of these men as they will stand toe-to-toe
with the most dominant force in WWE, The Bloodline.
[Jimmy] It's always 4:20 somewhere, Byron.
[Saxton] Apparently, that's what I hear.
Could we call this team The Street Bros?
[Corey] That's why you're not allowed to come up with anything.
-That was the dumbest idea of all time. -[Saxton] What? I just thought about it.
-[Jimmy] We know you thought about it. -[Saxton laughs]
[Saxton] The flops are flying.
[Corey] The flops have not flown.
Those were kangaroos on the screen. Saxton, you're losing it.
Hello Kitty really did a number on you today, didn't he?
[Saxton] I don't want to talk about that.
[Jimmy] It was a beatdown from what I heard. Terrible.
[Jimmy] A six-man tag team match,
The Street Profits and Riddle versus The Bloodline, draped in gold.
[Saxton] Always an intimidating sight for anyone who opposes The Bloodline.
[Jimmy] That could be the key. Riddle and The Street Profits
have never shown fear of The Bloodline.
They've been willing to go toe-to-toe with The Bloodline. Not many have.
[Saxton] And as a result, when you look at The Street Profits,
we've seen them up their game in multiple ways…
[bell ringing]
…because of the threat that The Usos possess.
[Jimmy] It looks like Jimmy Uso…
[Corey] Starting things off with Angelo Dawkins,
who, in the opinion of many,
has really stepped up his game in recent weeks.
We've seen a dominant side of Angelo Dawkins
that many of us didn't know existed until recently.
[Saxton] Corey, you interviewed him a couple weeks back
and you talked about his emergence as part of The Street Profits,
really come into his own because of athleticism like this.
[Corey] Dawkins is finally putting it all together, and he said--
Oh! He was tired of hearing people chatter,
-tired of people talking. -[Jimmy] Cover!
Hook of the leg, quick kick-out from Jimmy.
[Corey] He was tired of people calling Montez's Marty.
-[Saxton] Maybe that attitude is what-- -[Corey exclaims]
[Corey] That's still a hard argument to make.
[Jimmy] Look at the teamwork, the athleticism. Cover again.
Quick kick-out from Jimmy Uso.
[Saxton] Maybe the new attitude, the new styles
we're seeing from Montez and Angelo
is what these two need to get over the hump
and become the new Unified WWE Tag Team Champions.
[Jimmy] Jey now the legal man.
[Corey] We know the rules will be enforced this Saturday in Nissan Stadium
when WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett is the special guest referee
for the Tag Title match-up after weeks of controversy.
[men grunting]
[Jimmy] That's right, The Street Profits-- Oh!
The Head of the Table taking advantage now.
[Saxton] The official's got to get back on his game here.
[Corey] The referee should've had Jarrett come out here tonight.
[Jimmy] It's going to be a hard match to control.
[Saxton] Jeff Jarrett did say he was watching.
[crowd chanting] Uso! Uso! Uso!
[Saxton] Said if anyone got out of control,
be it The Usos or The Street Profits,
he would remember come this Saturday at SummerSlam.
[Jimmy] A disappointing ending for The Street Profits at Money in the Bank.
The three-count called, but Montez Ford's shoulder was up.
-Acknowledge me! -[Corey] Spectacular athleticism,
and Montez Ford chirping at The Tribal Chief.
[Jimmy] That's what we were talking about. No fear from The Street Profits or Riddle
when it comes to The Bloodline.
[Corey] Riddle pushed The Head of the Table
to the absolute limits several weeks back,
now barred from challenging for the title as long as Roman is in possession of it.
And right now, Riddle just teeing off on "Main Event" Jey in the corner.
[Jimmy] That kick after kick turning that hip over.
Come on, bro.
[Jimmy] Whoa! Smooth moving.
[Corey] Jimmy sent to the outside. Tag is made. Watch Tez go.
[Saxton] Perhaps some flight plans are in store for Montez Ford.
[Jimmy] Right over the top.
Oh, my God, The Usos laid out. Montez Ford on top at MSG.
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Welcome back to a six-man Tag Team Match.
The Street Profits and Riddle versus The Bloodline.
Right now, The Bloodline having their way with Riddle.
[Corey] High angle on that belly-to-back suplex by "Main Event" Jey Uso.
[Saxton] The Bloodline reminding everyone that "We The Ones"
here inside Madison Square Garden.
[Jimmy] "The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns
always brings the best out of The Usos.
They fight a little bit harder, a little bit sharper
when they're in front of The Head of the Table.
[Saxton] You have to think
in the back of the mind of The Bloodline, the "what if?"
What if The Usos lose the Tag Team Titles?
What if Roman Reigns loses? What could The Bloodline--
[Corey] Saxton, let me stop you right there.
Does this look like a duo that has any intention
of losing their most prized possession in a couple days?
[Saxton] Of course, there's no intention of losing, Corey,
but it could happen.
Brock Lesnar could become champion. Theory could cash in.
The Street Profits could defeat Usos. These are real possibilities.
[Jimmy] Speaking of The Head of the Table.
[Corey] Jimmy Uso inviting the Undisputed
WWE Universal Champion to join the fray.
[Jimmy] To maybe put this one away…
on Riddle, who is laid out in the corner.
Everything going the way of The Bloodline.
-In comes Roman Reigns. -[crowd cheering and booing]
[Saxton] The Tribal Chief ready to get his when it comes to The Original Bro.
-[Jimmy] That's bad news for Riddle. -[Riddle grunting]
Riddle, who gave The Head of the Table everything he could handle.
[Saxton] Pushed Reigns to the limit, Jimmy.
[Jimmy] Don't think The Head of the Table has forgotten that at all.
Time for a little bit of payback.
[Saxton] Oh!
Best believe wherever he is right now,
Brock Lesnar is watching this match, watching Roman Reigns.
[Jimmy] Referee wisely checking on Riddle.
[Corey] Reigns now taunting both members of The Street Profits,
who can only look on as Riddle suffers.
[Jimmy] To the cover. A merciful pin.
A kick-out before three.
[Corey] Earlier on, the action was heavy-hitting as usual.
The MO of Roman Reigns, nearly taking Riddle's head clean off.
Now the tag is made. Here comes Jey Uso once again.
[Saxton] We always talk about the incredible tenacity of Riddle,
but as this string of punishment continues from The Bloodline,
if Riddle does not make a tag,
this match isn't going to last much longer.
[Jimmy] There comes a time where resilience only hurts,
it only extends a beating a little bit longer.
Could be the case for Riddle tonight.
[Corey] Riddle has no shortage of heart, we know that.
Riddle has proven himself night after night for quite some time.
Riddle is double tough, has an incredible gas tank, but tonight,
The Usos are just overwhelming The Original Bro.
[Saxton] Montez Ford getting fired up on the apron as is Angelo Dawkins,
but all they can do is watch.
[commentators exclaim]
[Jimmy] Too much air on that shot.
Over the top goes Jey Uso, and he's hurt. He doesn't know where he is.
[Corey] Now both Profits eagerly awaiting a tag.
-[Jimmy] Riddle does. -[Corey] Here comes Montez.
-[Jimmy] Oh! -[Saxton] Catches Jey Uso.
Now, Ford proceeding to the top rope.
[Corey] Jey out of the way, but Jimmy eats a right.
[Jimmy] Yeah, the momentum continuing for Montez Ford.
This match not slowing down for anyone.
[Corey] Jey Uso caught off guard,
all out of sorts by the quickness of Montez Ford.
[Jimmy] All of the frustration at Money in the Bank coming out.
[Saxton] Tag. Tag is made by Reigns.
[Jimmy] Roman Reigns is legal, but I don't think Montez Ford knows that.
He's fully focused on Jey Uso, but now things change.
-[Jimmy] Oh, my God. -[Corey] Things change and it may be over.
[Jimmy] To the cover. Hook to the leg.
Kick-out just in time from Montez Ford.
And tonight, Roman Reigns an absolute wrecking machine. Look at this.
[Corey] Just a vulgar display of power by The Head of the Table.
The malice in the eyes of The Tribal Chief,
and Montez Ford now paying for the sins
of not only himself and his partner, but Riddle as well.
[Saxton] Ford at least temporarily provided a spark for his team,
but The Bloodline resuming their dominance.
[Corey] Much like Riddle, we know there is no quit in Montez Ford.
Montez continues to improve his physical conditioning,
getting bigger, getting faster, getting stronger.
Some people have already designated Montez as a future World Heavyweight Champion,
and I guarantee you, Roman Reigns hears that chatter,
and The Head of the Table doesn't like it.
[Jimmy] The brutality of Roman Reigns, you can see it on the face of Montez Ford.
[Saxton] Indeed, this is just how physical this match has gotten.
The official making sure Ford can still continue.
[Corey] I can't tell exactly where the wound is on Montez's face,
but Jimmy Uso now wasting no time exploiting
and looking to open Tez up a little worse.
[Jimmy] The Bloodline tonight, next-level dominance. To the cover.
Kick-out from Montez Ford, but that athleticism, that speed,
you can tell it's wearing out.
[Corey] You can tell that Montez is out of sorts right now.
He's looking for a tag, and instead, crawling into the opposition's corner.
[Saxton] This is the danger of competing in a high-stakes match like this
so close to your tag-team opportunity.
-Oh! -[Corey] You're absolutely right, Saxton.
[Jimmy] Jey Uso the legal man, looking to finish it.
Oh, The Street Profits somehow hanging on.
-[Corey] Oh, my gosh. -[Angelo Dawkins] Look at him!
[Jimmy] So far in this match, the dominance continues for The Bloodline,
working on a battered and bloody Montez Ford,
fighting back against Jimmy Uso.
We got to wonder how much he has left.
[Corey] We have to imagine Montez Ford has a broken nose at best right now
after suffering at the hands of The Tribal Chief.
This is where it happened, and there is no absence of malice from the champion here.
Watch.
Face-first into the top turnbuckle, and that could greatly affect
not only the rest of the match tonight for Montez Ford, but…
-Boom! Drive-by! -[Saxton] My goodness.
[Corey] …but potentially this Saturday
when The Street Profits challenge The Usos,
with special guest referee Jeff Jarrett, for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles.
Montez Ford going to have trouble breathing through his nose.
The deeper you get into a fight,
that can really, really affect the outcome.
[Saxton] What's happening right now to Montez Ford could essentially guarantee
that The Usos walk into SummerSlam and walk out of SummerSlam
still the Unified Tag Team Champions.
[Corey] Listen, let's not write Montez off just yet.
Reigns now battering Montez Ford, but Tez is still in this fight,
if only on instinct, still in this fight.
[Jimmy] There you see the generalship of Roman Reigns, The Head of the Table,
playing chess while everyone else plays checkers
leading into SummerSlam this Saturday.
[Corey] Roman has decided this ends now.
-[Jimmy] Oh! -[Corey] What an uppercut.
Dawkins be spitting up teeth.
[Jimmy] That's the distraction, though, Montez Ford needed.
[Saxton] Dawkins was able to buy Ford a couple seconds there,
and Ford took advantage.
Now, can Montez Ford make the tag to Riddle?
[Jimmy] For the first time, Roman Reigns in pain,
trying to get to his corner, and Riddle's in first, so is Jimmy Uso.
Oh!
[Corey] Overhead kick right to the ear of Jimmy Uso.
Here comes Jey.
Ripcord. Pow!
[Saxton] Knee right to the jaw.
Riddle, all of the months of frustration, the beatings at the ends of The Bloodline.
[Corey] Exploder suplex from Riddle and another for Jey.
[Jimmy] Riddle has taken over this match all by himself.
-[Corey] Broton. -[Jimmy] Make it two.
[Corey] And The Original Bro is on a roll.
[Saxton] Uh-oh.
Paying tribute, taking a page out of Randy Orton's playbook. Maybe not.
[Corey] Jey Uso saying, "Uh-uh, we ain't letting that happen."
[Jimmy] The Usos ready for the move, but not ready for the transition.
Beautiful kick.
-[Saxton] And now, Riddle going to fly. -[Jimmy] Oh, my God.
[Saxton] Wiping out The Usos.
He has Jimmy in his clutches.
It is Riddle and Jimmy. They are the legal competitors.
-[Saxton] Riddle with that trademark-- -[Jimmy] Roman Reigns tagged himself in.
[Corey] Powerslam connects, but Reigns is legal.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God! Superman Punch to the jaw. Cover.
-Montez Ford just in time. -[Saxton] Ford is still fighting.
Battered and bruised, Ford doesn't care.
[Jimmy] Now, taking out his frustrations on The Head of the Table.
Will this be a preview of Saturday?
Battered, but still fighting against The Usos.
[Jimmy] What an effort from Montez Ford.
[Corey] You're not kidding, but here comes Jimmy. Flying Uso!
[Jimmy] Wow!
[Corey] Taking out Montez Ford for the moment.
Jimmy and Jey standing tall on the outside of the ring.
-Inside-- -[Jimmy] Oh, Angelo Dawkins.
[Corey] The Usos took their eyes off of Dawkins.
[Jimmy] Oh, my God.
[Corey] Reigns knows full well what Dawkins is doing, where he was.
The Head of the Table laying waste to The Street Profits.
[Saxton] Dawkins didn't even have a moment to think
-before Reigns was all over him. -[Corey] Uh-oh.
-Riddle looking to capitalize. -[Saxton] Trying one more time.
[Jimmy] Has Roman Reigns right where he wants him.
-Face-first goes Roman Reigns. -[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Gentlemen, I don't believe it.
[Saxton] Riddle channeling the voices,
going to that place where Orton hears voices.
[Jimmy] This sold-out crowd in MSG going crazy.
Looking for the RKO!
-[Corey] RK-no. -[Jimmy] Oh, my God, what a counter.
[crowd cheering]
[Jimmy] Spear!
[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Saxton] There it is. -[bell ringing]
-["Head of the Table" playing] -[Jimmy] Wow!
[Rome] Here are your winners,
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos,
and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns!
[Jimmy] Flawless performance by The Bloodline.
[Saxton] It was a battle. It was a battle here,
-but The Bloodline once again… -[Jimmy] Unbelievable.
…finding a way to come out on top.
[Corey] Riddle was on a roll, looked to seal the deal
with an homage to The Viper,
but Reigns said, "RK-nope," and would follow it up
with this thunderous, Manhattan-shaking Spear…
[bell ringing]
…leaving no doubt in the minds of anyone who runs it.
Whether it's Friday nights on SmackDown or Mondays on Raw--
-["Visionary" playing] -[Saxton] Oh, wait a second.
[Jimmy] A name we did not expect, ladies and gentlemen.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[Saxton] You had to imagine Seth was keeping eyes on Riddle,
who he will face this Saturday at SummerSlam, but--
[Corey] There's no shortage of history here.
-[crowd singing along] -[laughing]
-Bye-bye. -[Corey] Who made who?
Will we ever truly know for sure?
[Saxton] Riddle, Riddle struggling to get back to his feet.
[Jimmy] Riddle still dazed. Oh, my God.
A vicious attack from Seth Rollins.
[Corey] Riddle has drawn the ire of The Visionary
over the past several weeks,
-and Rollins looking to gain an advantage… -[Jimmy] Oh, my gosh.
…by any means necessary.
-Look out! -[commentators groan]
[Saxton] Riddle just went through a grueling battle here.
And now falling prey to Seth Rollins.
[shouts indistinctly]
-[Saxton] Rollins, Stomp… -[Jimmy] Vicious stomp.
…on the outside.
[Jimmy] This attack far from finished.
[Corey] Oh, no. Oh, no.
Seth, don't--
[crowd booing]
[Corey] Don't do this, Rollins. Don't--
-[Jimmy] Oh, my God! -[commentators exclaim]
[cackling]
[Jimmy] Right through the stairs.
Oh, my God.
How will Riddle be ready for Saturday?
I don't see how he will be.
[Corey] I think Riddle will be done for.
[crowd singing along] will be done for.
