[intro music playing]
-[Cena] Then. -[Ric Flair] Woooo!
-[glass shattering] -[The Rock] If you smell…
-[Cena] Now. -[bell dinging]
-[Triple H] The king of kings… -[Cena] You can't see me!
[Cena] Forever.
Together.
…any more damn time.
Brock Lesnar, you got an issue with me,
let's fight about it.
So Brock, when you're ready, let's go!
Bring it out here and let's fight for these people in Oklahoma.
[crowd cheers]
["Next Big Thing" plays]
[Patrick] Not our usual start to the Show.
Bobby Lashley taking control. Lesnar responding.
[Corey] Brock Lesnar shocked the WWE Universe
by returning last week
and attacking Lashley before Lashley's United States title match.
Some would say that's what caused Bobby his coveted Championship
and Lesnar is in the house.
[Patrick] Like you say, Graves,
Lashley on the verge of a United States Championship match
last week against Seth Rollins.
Expecting Rollins to emerge,
only it was this man, "The Beast" Brock Lesnar.
F5 after F5, suplex after suplex, and then the kimura lock
doing serious damage to the arm of Bobby Lashley,
nearly tearing the damn thing off.
[Corey] Well, last week, Lashley promised to call out The Beast tonight.
Lesnar has arrived and is staring a hole through The All Mighty.
[Patrick] But why? That's the big question.
Why did Lesnar show up and do what he did last week?
[Corey] Well, Lashley owns a victory over Brock Lesnar.
I have to imagine that blemish on Lesnar's--
Oh, wait a second! Here we go.
This is going get ugly in a hurry.
Lesnar bringing the fight to "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley
and Lashley is down.
[Patrick] Two animalistic alpha males
that won't give an inch kicking off Monday Night Raw.
[Corey] No! Not out here, Brock.
[all exclaiming]
[Patrick] Lesnar face-first into the post.
-Oh, Lashley spearing Lesnar! -[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Unbelievable impact!
-Get some help out here. -[chatter]
Thank God… the cavalry has arrived.
[Patrick] What the hell is going on?
[Corey] Oh, very simple,
Lesnar and Lashley can't stand one another,
and they are beating the holy hell out of each other.
[crowd clamoring]
[Patrick] Members of the men's locker room, officials, referees, security,
all forcing Lashley away.
[crowd clamoring]
[Corey] Oh, wait a second. He's not-- Here comes Bobby!
[all exclaiming]
[Patrick] Another spear right across the announce desk!
[Corey] These two behemoths are trying to destroy one another.
[Patrick] Lashley just all over Brock Lesnar as we speak.
[indistinct shouting]
[Corey] There's brave souls trying to separate these two beasts.
[all exclaiming]
[Corey] My God!
[all clamoring]
[crowd chants] Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!
[Corey] Bobby Lashley just put Lesnar through the table.
[Patrick] He changed the course of the entire show.
Lashley wanted to respond, and my God has he responded!
Graves, there's about 20 men trying to get rid of Lashley.
[Corey] Look at the intensity in the eyes of The All Mighty!
The Beast Incarnate is still down!
[indistinct]
[Patrick] Well, Lashley is still hovering.
What have we just witnessed?
[Corey] Lesnar is hurt.
I'm good.
Get away from me.
[Patrick] Pure chaos to begin Monday Night Raw.
The spear, Lashley on Lesnar
and that only kicked things off, Corey Graves.
[Corey] Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar,
hell-bent on destroying one another and everything at ringside.
Lashley driving Lesnar over our announce desk
and it followed with this.
-[crowd gasping] -The Beast Incarnate
driven through our announce table
and Lesnar is yet to fully recover.
[Patrick] Lesnar cost Lashley
potentially the United States Championship last week
and this is how Bobby Lashley has responded
to kick off Monday Night Raw.
[indistinct shouting and clamoring]
[Patrick] Welcome back to Monday night Raw.
Bobby Lashley, "The All Mighty,"
completely derailing the start of our show.
Calling out "The Beast" Brock Lesnar,
and Corey Graves, what ensued after that was pure chaos.
[Corey] Pure pandemonium, mayhem, whatever you want to call it.
Destroying the ringside area.
Thankfully, after this horrific occurrence,
security, half of the locker room,
all types of people trying to separate these two behemoths
hell-bent on destroying one another,
and Lashley wasn't done there.
[Patrick] There must have been 40 men
trying to get Bobby Lashley out of this arena.
Remember, Brock Lesnar,
totally and utterly took Lashley out last week
as Lashley was waiting to take on Seth Rollins,
for a United States Championship match that did not happen.
[Corey] If nothing else, The All Mighty is a man of his word.
Bobby Lashley promised to call out Lesnar tonight.
That's exactly what happened,
exactly why our table's already flat, in record time mind you.
-And we're just getting started, KP. -Yeah.
Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves,
this really is the fallout from the season premiere of Monday Night Raw.
Pulsating show last week with many surprises.
One of which was the return of The O.C.
Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson
returning to help out AJ Styles.
Tonight, we'll see their in-ring return
when they take on Chad Gable and Otis.
It is The O.C., The Good Brothers
against the Alpha Academy.
[Corey] It's Halloween time, but we're not talking
Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
This horrific story comes to a head tonight
after weeks of being stalked by Dexter Lumis.
Miz will compete one-on-one.
If Lumis is victorious,
he earns a WWE contract.
Good luck, Miz. You're going to need it.
[Patrick] And folks, we're going to take you back to Friday Night SmackDown.
The powerful, the emotional return of Bray Wyatt to the WWE ring.
But, Graves, I think it left us, and me certainly,
with more questions than answers.
[Corey] No doubt about it.
And the newly-crowned United States Champion,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins
will defend his gold against longtime rival,
"The Original Bro" Matt Riddle.
The US title on the line,
live tonight on Monday Night Raw.
["Emergence" plays]
I got a feeling this is going to be too sweet, KP.
[Patrick chuckles]
[fireworks explode]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by AJ Styles,
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson,
The O.C.!
[Patrick] Let's go back to last week on Raw.
AJ Styles, h's looked set to go and join The Judgment Day,
but he had a trick up his sleeve,
fooling Bálor and The Judgment Day.
[Finn laughing]
AJ, I knew that you would finally come around.
I wasn't talking about you.
["Emergence" plays]
Big, big mistake.
[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Gallows and Anderson wasting zero time making an impact
upon returning to Monday Night Raw alongside their O.C. buddy,
AJ Styles.
[Patrick] AJ Styles luring in The Judgment Day
and responding in emphatic fashion,
welcoming back Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
The O.C. back on Raw.
The O.C. rides again.
Gallows and Anderson have been away from WWE for over two years.
["Shoooosh" plays]
And now they'll face
Raw tag team champion from this year,
earlier on this calendar year.
[announcer] And their opponent, Otis and Chad Gable,
Alpha Academy!
[Corey] You're absolutely right.
We're going to find out what Anderson and Gallows truly are made of.
Now mind you, The Good Brothers haven't been lying dormant
since leaving WWE.
They've been competing around the globe, capturing championships,
both individual and tag team.
Two legit competitors,
but the Alpha Academy have been on a roll.
They haven't had the best luck recently as far as the win-lost column goes,
but when you got "The Master" Chad Gable
and the number one guy, Otis,
they continue to get bigger, better, and stronger week after week.
[Patrick] They do.
They've had their work cut out over the last few weeks
against the likes of Braun Strowman and Rey Mysterio,
and Chad Gable last week.
And now, The Good Brothers, Gallows and Anderson.
Anderson saying earlier, "Alpha Academy ain't The Good Brothers."
"We've been to Japan, England, Las Vegas,
and that's just in the last month."
Now back in WWE.
Let's see what they've got inside the squared circle
against the Alpha Academy.
Meanwhile, our desk is still flattened.
[bell rings]
[Corey] You'll get used to this sooner or later.
The grin on AJ Styles, it's got to feel good for the Phenomenal One
to have his two best allies back in the fold.
As Karl Anderson starts things off with "The Master" Chad Gable.
[Otis] The O.C. sucks ass!
[Patrick] Otis and Luke Gallows watching on, as is AJ Styles.
Savvy start there from Chad Gable.
[Corey] Again, if you're Alpha Academy,
to the point that I made earlier.
When you haven't experienced a whole lot of wins recently,
snuffing out the newly ignited, reignited flame of The O.C.
would be a great way to kick start your career.
[Patrick] Good opportunity for the Alpha Academy to remind The O.C.
who's been here week in, week out on Monday Night Raw this year.
[Corey] On the other side of the coin, The O.C. realize
this is a massive opportunity to reestablish themselves
as threats in the tag team division.
[Patrick] And there's no fear of chemistry here for The O.C., is there?
-They've been working hard together. -[Corey] Absolutely not.
[Corey] These guys are on the same page, they're in the same sentence.
[Patrick] Tag made. Here comes Luke Gallows.
[Corey] If we're talking about tag teams,
how about NXT tomorrow night right here on USA?
It's Pick Your Poison.
Cora Jade will square off with Raquel Rodriguez.
We learned that Friday night on SmackDown.
Roxanne Perez still awaiting the reveal of her challenge.
[Patrick] Who is it going to be?
Halloween Havoc, remember this coming Saturday,
streaming on WWE on Peacock.
[Corey] Look at the size of big LG.
Luke Gallows teeing off.
But Otis is an athlete unlike any we have ever seen.
[Patrick] Yeah, the Tree Trunk barely moved.
-[Gable] Watch out! -[Patrick] Two big men here as Gallows…
looks to flatten Otis by the turnbuckle.
[Corey] Dropping bombs in the corner. Big heavy rights and lefts.
-[Gallows roars] -[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Back elbow by Otis rocks Gallows.
[Patrick] Looks to take out Anderson as well.
Gallows with a big boot!
Down goes Otis.
Tag made.
[Corey] Karl Anderson more of the technician
of The Good Brothers tandem.
Oh! And a knee to the small of the back from Gable earns him a right hand,
and Anderson got crushed,
Much to the dismay of Gallows, and Gable from behind!
-[Patrick] And the referee looking away! -Thank you!
-Chad Gable doing work. -[groaning]
[Corey] Starting to look like a bad night for The Good Brothers.
[Patrick] You're watching Monday Night Raw live from Oklahoma City.
Last week, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson roared in defense of AJ Styles,
returning to WWE, and restoring The O.C.
Tonight, we see them in tag team action for the first time since returning,
-against the Alpha Academy, and watch out. -[Corey] Uh-oh!
[Corey] Maybe the last time if Otis lands this.
[all exclaiming]
Anderson out of the way just in time.
[Patrick] Scouted the danger, Karl Anderson.
As AJ Styles watches on.
[Corey] And Anderson now desperately needs to make a tag
to the much fresher Luke Gallows.
[Gallows] Come on!
[Corey] Otis inching toward Gable.
[Patrick] Anderson-- Tag made! Here comes Gallows!
Tag on the other side too!
Chad Gable… goes to ground not once but twice.
-[Corey] Tremendous impact from Gallows. -[all exclaiming]
Like a human Cadillac in the ring.
[all exclaiming]
[Patrick] Is there any stopping Gallows right now?
[Corey] Hell no!
-[roars] -[Patrick exclaims]
[Patrick] Boot to the cheek of Gable. Here comes Otis.
[Corey] The highly educated feet of Gallows on display for the world.
Pumphandle applied.
-Down goes Gable! -[roars]
[Patrick] How happy must AJ Styles be?
As soon as he said family, these guys knew they had to return.
[Corey] The O.C. realizes there's no time to celebrate until the bell rings,
which could be momentarily.
[Patrick] Is this magic killer? Is this the moment?
-No. -[Corey] Otis spoiling the plans.
[Corey] Trust me, KP, you've never gotten to party with The Good Brothers.
When they win, it's legendary.
[Patrick] Yeah, but what a victory this could be for Chad Gable and Otis.
-If they can get it! -[Corey] Oh!
[Patrick] Will to win. Shoulder's down-- Oh! It's not to be.
Anderson kicks out.
Oh!
[Corey] Otis hip first into the ring stairs.
Gable dragging Anderson into position.
[Patrick] Chad Gable going for a climb.
[Corey] Moonsault! Anderson got the foot up,
but Gable into the ankle lock seamlessly.
[Patrick] The technician kicked away by Anderson.
-[Gable yells] -Collected! Hammer to the canvas.
Tag made.
And this tag team duo
-looking to finish off Chad Gable. -[Corey] Magic Killer.
-[crowd] One! Two! Three! -[Patrick] And there it is.
-[bell rings] -Welcome back to WWE.
["Emergence" plays]
[announcer] Here are your winners,
The O.C.
[Corey] You can bet your bottom dollar
that there will be some soda pops flowing tonight.
We may even get a visit from Uncle Al.
[Patrick] And there's going to be a pep in the step of "The Phenomenal One"
AJ Styles, as he celebrates with Gallows and Anderson.
[Corey] Picking up right where they left off.
-The Magic Killer. -[crowd] One! Two! Three!
[Corey] Thanks for coming, Chad Gable.
What a win, what a return
for not only The Good Brothers, but the entire O.C.
["The Other Side" plays]
[Corey] And yet again darkness falls over Monday Night Raw.
Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor,
Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest.
Too sweet!
Too sweet, too sweet.
Same old, same old crap.
Nobody's ever seen that before, have they, Damian?
No, no, no. Nobody's ever seen that.
These boys are crazy.
And it's funny.
The three of you think
you actually accomplished something great last week.
The only thing you--
[crowd chanting] You suck! You suck! You suck!
We stopped giving a damn about you guys a long time ago.
The only thing the three of you accomplished last week
is guaranteeing getting cooked by The Judgment Day.
You know, maybe I need to remind everyone here
that I'm the one who started this stupid little club!
So don't forget.
I made you guys, and I will break you guys.
That's why we're here to challenge you clowns to a match.
[woman] Mysterio!
Whoa! But don't get excited. Don't get excited.
I'm not talking about tonight.
No, no, no.
The O.C. versus The Judgment Day
at the Crown Jewel.
[laughs]
First of all, we accept.
[crowd cheers]
Second, I can't understand why everyone does this.
This is Monday Night Raw.
You're standing right there,
we're in the ring, let's do this right here, right now.
[crowd cheers]
That is unless you three boys have to ask your mother for permission.
[crowd exclaiming]
How dare you say that?
You shut your mouth, AJ!
Unless you want to be like my dad
and go running over to the other brand
with your tail between your legs
because you can't hang with The Judgment Day!
[crowd boos]
Listen to this guy.
Man, you're cool, you're bad, right?
As long as you're standing next to Judgment Day.
You know what you are?
You're a piece of trash is what you are.
-[crowd exclaiming] -[inaudible conversation]
You turned your back on your own father.
You're scum. You're a little punk.
And since you want to run your mouth,
how about we do something a little different tonight?
You want to talk the walk,
but can you walk the walk?
Why don't you and I step in this ring
and handle business?
[crowd cheers]
AJ, Dominik is going to rip you limb from limb, right, Dom?
Are you a man or are you a boy? Do it.
Yeah! I'm gonna wipe the floor with you,
and I'm going to rip you limb from limb.
Well, bring your ass down here,
and let's see what you got.
Come on!
[crowd cheers] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm not-- I'm not ready right now.
I don't even have my gear on.
I'm not ready, I'm not taped up.
[crowd booing]
[inaudible]
But when I am ready,
you better believe I'm going to mop the floor with you.
In about… in about an hour or so.
[laughs]
[AJ] Okay, you know what?
Change into your gear,
get stretched out, drink some water,
and I'm going to do
something that your father should have done to you.
I'm going to beat the piss out of you.
[crowd cheering]
And that, ladies and gentlemen, will be too sweet.
["Emergence" plays]
-[Patrick] OKC is O.C. country tonight. -[inaudible conversation]
AJ Styles and Dominik Mysterio to come a little bit later.
Strong words from Styles.
[Corey] Dominik doesn't want to risk getting injured, I understand completely.
[Patrick] And coming up later on Monday Night Raw,
last week, Seth "Freakin" Rollins became United States Champion.
And tonight, he's going to put his title on the line
against a heated rival named Matt Riddle.
[Corey] Great news, KP. Rollins is here live, next.
[Patrick] It was a chaotic start to Raw here in Oklahoma City
between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley,
the fallout from last week after Lesnar's surprise return,
an attack nearly ripping the arm off "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.
[Corey] Brock Lesnar attacking Bobby Lashley.
There is no way Lashley is in any shape to compete.
["Visionary" plays]
[Corey] Well, beaten and battered in his own right,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins, the challenger who endured the Fight Pit.
Rollins has been begging for this opportunity,
but Lashley can't fight.
Hey! You're not going to get out of this title match that easy.
Come on! You're supposed to be a fighter.
You're supposed to be a soldier…
but you're not.
You're a disgrace to the US title,
you're a disgrace to your country.
[Corey] Rollins taking cheap shots,
trying to lure an injured champion into this. Don't do this, Bobby.
-You ring the bell. -Hey, ring the bell?
[bell rings]
-[Corey] Oh! -[Patrick] Lashley looking for the spear.
Running into a Pedigree! Rollins may have him!
Lashley somehow kicks out.
Rollins looking for the stomp. Spear!
[Corey] How the hell does Bobby keep fighting?
[Patrick] Can he muster the energy?
Bobby looking for the Hurt Lock!
Can he lock it in?
[Corey] Rollins wisely attacking the injured arm.
-Oh! Rolling elbow rocks the champ. -[Patrick] Is this the opening?
[Corey] Stomp!
Oh! Another!
A cover.
[crowd counts] One, two, three!
[bell rings]
[Patrick] Seth Rollins, United States Champion.
[Corey] A valiant effort by an injured Bobby Lashley,
but Seth "Freakin" Rollins
is the brand-new United States champion.
["Visionary" plays]
[fireworks explode]
[crowd cheers]
[crowd singing along] ♪ Whoa, oh, oh ♪
♪ Burn it down ♪
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the new
United States champion,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
[Corey] Kevin, last week, you referenced the number of days
it had been since Seth Rollins was a champion in WWE.
-Do you have that figure handy? -[Patrick] 952.
[Corey] Good. Never bring it up again.
It's ancient history.
It means less than nothing because we are looking at the Visionary,
we are looking at the Revolutionary,
we are looking at the brand spanking new
United States Champion.
[faint cheering]
[crowd singing along] ♪ Whoa, oh, oh ♪
[Corey] Those boots are on a whole other level.
[crowd singing along] ♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪
-OKC, welcome… -[crowd cheering]
…to Monday Night
Rollins!
-[mixed cheers and boos] -[laughs]
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
I am a Visionary.
I am a Revolutionary.
I am Seth…
[crowd yells] "Freakin Rollins"
Oh, oh.
And I am your new
United States Champion!
[mixed cheers and boos]
And, uh,
for all you folks out there
who doubted me,
all you haters out there who turned your back on me,
who stopped believing in me, who counted me out,
you can kiss
my big beautiful red behind.
[cackles]
But for all you fine folks out there,
who've always had my back,
who never counted me out,
who always believed in me,
do what you have done
and sing my song.
[crowd singing] ♪ Whoa, oh, oh ♪
♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪
[laughs]
You sound beautiful out there.
But, OKC, tonight is an historic night
because tonight
is the first defense
in what will undoubtedly become
the greatest
US Championship run
of all time!
Because in the main event tonight,
I am going to wipe this mat
with Matt Riddle's face.
And in doing so, I'm going to clear up
a bit of a, uh, miscommunication
that was EXTREME RULES.
You see…
[crowd chants] You tapped out! You tapped out! You tapped out!
Look, I may have tapped out
when Riddle had me in the Triangle Sleeper,
but, ladies and gentlemen,
that was a strategic move, all right?
I did that for you
because two days after EXTREME RULES,
I had to come to Monday Night Raw
and I had to be in the best possible condition
so that I could beat Bobby Lashley
and become your new US champion.
I did it for you.
I tapped out for you.
Come on now!
-Get that through-- -["Problematic" plays]
-[Corey] An honorable champion. -[Patrick] Yeah, but…
What's Mustafa Ali doing here?
[Corey] We know Ali fancies himself something of a disrupter
here within the WWE Universe.
Hey, Seth, Seth, uh,
first of all, congratulations on becoming
the new United States champion.
Yeah!
I knew you would come out here to party.
I mean, I was waiting for you to, uh,
give a shout-out to your boy Brock Lesnar for the assist.
[Corey] Ooh.
But hey, hey,
if you're not going to mention it,
don't worry, I won't mention it either.
What I do want to mention
is that the former United States champion, Bobby Lashley,
he promised me
that I was next in line for a Championship opportunity.
Hey, I-- I get it. T-- Things change.
Champions change,
but my challenge remains the same.
I want to fight you,
and I want to fight
for that United States Championship.
[laughs]
I got a question for you.
Do I look like Bobby Lashley?
[laughs]
Sorry, pal.
You're going to have to get to the back of the line.
You see, I've got to focus on Riddle tonight.
So look, here's what we can do.
You got two options.
You can stay out here,
you can party with all of us,
celebrate your new champion…
[crowd cheering]
…or you can, uh…
skedaddle your way out of my ring
[laughs] because you don't belong
in this ring with me.
[laughs]
No.
No, it's not going down like that.
You might be Seth "Freakin" Rollins,
but right now what you are staring at
is your next freaking problem.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not backing down.
I want a fight.
I want a fight for that--
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Look.
I appreciate what you're trying to do,
and this might come as a bit of a surprise,
but, Ali, I actually like you.
No, I got a lot of respect for you.
You get in this ring, you are one of the best performers
we have here in WWE.
But one thing these people may not know about you
is that you're an even better human being.
No, I see what you do in the back
with the young guys, helping them out.
You're a great friend.
You're a great father.
-You're a great-- -[all exclaiming]
[Patrick] Just when you thought Seth "Freakin" Rollins
was giving a compliment.
Sucker punch to Ali.
[crowd boos]
Get to the back of the line, the message from Rollins.
[Corey] It was a little distasteful
that Ali decided to crash Rollins' Championship celebration.
But I echo Seth's sentiments.
I think Ali is a fantastic human being.
He's a lovely guy to be around,
but you don't interrupt Seth Rollins.
Problem solved, baby. Problem solved.
[laughs]
[Patrick] Hang on a second.
-Watch out. -[Corey] From behind!
[Patrick] Ali taking out Rollins.
He's teeing off on him.
[both grunting]
[Corey] Rollins went to the throat.
[Patrick] The problem's not solved just yet, Seth.
-[Corey] Oh God. -[all exclaim]
[Patrick] Face first off the post.
[Corey] I don't think Ali's getting up after that.
[crowd booing]
[Patrick] He's in a bad, bad way.
Hit the music!
[Corey] Take a look at the impact.
Rollins launching Ali into the ring post.
-Ali is yet to get up off the mat. -["Visionary" plays]
[Patrick] He says he's gonna be Rollins' next freaking problem,
but Ali finds himself in a bad way
as Seth Rollins departs.
Championship match to come later against Matt Riddle.
And who's this Big Time Charlie arriving to Monday Night Raw?
[Corey exclaims] Could it be?
Yes, it is!
He's here!
["Still The Baddest" plays]
[Corey] Oklahoma City is under control.
♪ We got the power, we got the rage ♪

[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is a tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Bayley,
they are the WWE women's tag team champions,
Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky,
Damage CTRL!
[Patrick] And since returning to WWE 79 days ago at SummerSlam,
they've been wreaking havoc, Damage CTRL.
It was Bayley that found herself
in a one-on-one match last week
on Monday Night Raw against Candice LeRae.
LeRae would pull off arguably the biggest victory of her career.
-A quick one over Bayley. -One! Two! Three!
-Stunning the WWE Universe. -[bell rings]
[Corey] Unfortunately for the "Poison Pixie",
her celebration was short-lived
as the WWE women's tag team champions hit the scene
and inflicted maximum punishment
until the EST, the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair, would hit the scene.
[Patrick] But she bit off more than she could chew, Graves.
Three-on-two situation.
Bianca Belair, the Raw Women's Champion,
receiving a beating from Damage CTRL.
-[Bayley shouting indistinctly] -[Corey] Well, Kevin…
it is my honor and pleasure to have invited
none other than Bayley to the commentary desk.
Uh, ding dong. Hello.
-Nice to meet you. -Pleasure to meet you.
I promise, he's not as intolerable as Michael Cole, yet.
Okay. Yeah, yeah, we'll see about that.
I'll be the judge of that.
["Wickeder Ways" plays]
[announcer] And her opponent, first, from Anaheim, California,
Candice LeRae!
[Patrick] Candice LeRae fresh off, like I say,
arguably the biggest victory of her career last week against Bayley,
who joins us on commentary right now.
You can understand her delight, Bayley.
[Corey] I had to promise not to bring that up.
-He's making me look like a fool already. -["Watch Me Shine" plays]
[Bayley] It is the biggest victory of her career, that's for sure.
[announcer] And her tag team partner, she is the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair!
[Corey] Now, Bayley, I've got to ask you, as pertains to Candice LeRae,
I know you have a long history with Candice,
but why has she drawn the ire recently of yourself and Damage CTRL?
Well, you know, I'm a huge supporter of Candice LeRae.
I've known her for so long.
I used to watch her on the independents before I even got into wrestling,
you know, and I admired her.
But when she got to Raw and she didn't care
to give me a text or a call, "Hey, what's up?"
"I'm gonna be your coworker from now on."
She just came and thought that she could run the show
that we have been running since we came back from SummerSlam.
-She sounds like a total ingrate to me. -Yes.
I understand she's been wrestling for 20 years,
but she-- That doesn't mean anything
when you step on to my show, okay?
[Patrick] You tagged with her before in the indies,
yet her not calling you is the biggest issue?
Yes, yes. That is. I took that very personal.
I'm a very loyal person.
Anytime I got a chance to say something good about Candice LeRae,
and she's a former NXT women's tag team champion…
-[bell rings] -…her great match with Iyo Shirai
at NXT Takeover. I know everything about her.
She didn't care to send me a text.
[Patrick] Here we go. Tag team action.
Iyo Sky on top early here.
Sky, of course, and Dakota Kai
tag team champions up against the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair, and Candice LeRae.
It's all Iyo Sky here early.
How impressed have you been, Bayley,
with both Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai as tag champs?
[Bayley] Oh my. I mean, they are the tag team champions.
You know, I'm a former women's tag team champion.
As you know, the first ever women's tag team champion,
and I want to say they've already surpassed all my expectations
for those titles.
They're exactly where they're meant to be.
[Patrick exclaims]
[Corey] I told Kevin Patrick not to bring it up,
but I'm going to break my own rule.
-[crowd cheers] -Let's talk about EXTREME RULES.
Where you very nearly…
[Patrick] Belair, her chance for the victory early.
[Corey] …defeated "The EST" Bianca Belair
to become the Raw Women's Champion.
Is that something you still have designs on?
[Bayley] Oh, do I still have designs on?
-Do I still want to be the champion? -[Corey] On defeating Bianca.
I've already defeated Bianca
if you guys remember that little show called Clash At The Castle?
Yeah, I pinned Bianca there.
-And I can do it again. -[Patrick] Still have the bruises?
Still have bruises from that match?
-That was a hellacious battle. -[Bayley] Asking a very personal question.
-That's weird. -[Patrick] It was a bruiser of a match.
-That's a fair question. -Oh my God.
-[Corey] Speak English out here, Kevin. -[Bayley] Yeah. Yeah.
-[Patrick] I'm Irish. We do our best. -[Bayley] You are?
-[Corey] Now we see… -[Bayley] You are? Okay. As am I.
[Corey] Look at how masterfully Dakota and Iyo
have just used the numbers game against Bianca Belair.
Overpowering arguably the strongest women in the division.
[Bayley] Yes. I will-- I won't--
[Patrick] Bianca finds her way out, though. Tag made.
[Bayley] She's very athletic. Very athletic. All right.
[Patrick] What a response from Bianca Belair and Candice LeRae!
-They're on fire. -[Corey] See, I knew it.
Bianca can't coexist with anybody.
-[Patrick] Incredible chemistry. -[Bayley] She's using her.
Don't worry about this.
My girls have been training all day.
-[all exclaim] -[Bayley] Okay!
[Patrick] Running to the outside.
-Flattens Iyo Sky. -[Bayley] Come on, Iyo.
[Patrick] Dakota Kai now in a perilous position.
-[shrieks] -Collected by the Raw Women's Champion.
[Corey] Oh, no. Oh, no. All the way to the outside!
[crowd cheers]
[Bayley] Don't worry, Corey.
Both Iyo and Dakota are former women's tag team champions as well.
[Patrick] So far it's Bianca Belair and Candice LeRae on top.
[Patrick] Welcome back.
You're watching Monday Night Raw from Oklahoma City.
Tag team action.
You've got the tag champs from Damage CTRL.
Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky in the ring right now against Candice LeRae
and the Raw Women's Champion, Bianca Belair.
Bayley, the third member of Damage CTRL joining us on commentary right now.
[Corey] The action continued throughout the break.
Watch this misdirection by Damage CTRL.
Expertly done.
Dakota Kai drawing Bianca's attention,
allowing Iyo to soar through the skies.
But right now, Belair puts the brakes on Iyo.
-[Bayley] Come on, Iyo. -[all exclaiming]
[Patrick] Backbreaker from Belair.
And, Bayley, keep in mind obviously,
you're aware Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai
will head to SmackDown this Friday,
And they'll put their titles on the line against Raquel Rodriguez and Shotzi.
[Bayley] Yes, they will.
[Patrick] How can focus be on this, with the importance of Friday?
[Bayley] Look what they're doing to the Raw Women's Champion, the EST,
they are in control of the EST right now
and newcomer, Candice LeRae.
I don't care how good they are.
They're not the tag team champions.
And it wasn't a misdirection. That was perfect.
Purposely perfectly directed.
[Corey] Well said.
-You've been eating glass, have you? -[Bayley] Look at this. Come on.
[Corey] Dakota now using Bianca's own braid
to prevent the champion from making the tag.
[Patrick] Look at the strength of Belair, though.
Bianca Belair edging her way across to make the tag with Candice LeRae.
-Elbow to the jaw of Dakota Kai. -[Bayley] Turn around. Turn around.
[Patrick] Tag made. Here comes Candice LeRae.
[Corey] The Poison Pixie teeing off on Dakota Kai.
[Patrick] Riding high after that victory over Bayley
on Monday Night Raw last week.
[Bayley] All right. We don't have to talk about it.
You know, we've been working all weekend, me, Dakota, and Iyo.
So we're a little bit sore.
Candice's been at home, what, feeding her baby?
[Corey] Right now,
Candice throwing about a 25-piece to your teammates.
-[Bayley] Very impressive, to be honest. -[Patrick] Poison Pixie on fire here.
[Bayley] Ladies.
[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Step-up senton.
Kick right to the chest of Kai. Into the cover!
[Patrick] Cover now. Candice LeRae!
-For the win. -[Bayley] Iyo, Iyo!
[Patrick] Kick out, Dakota Kai.
Damage CTRL still alive.
[Corey] Take a look at this from Candice LeRae,
utilizing Dakota Kai to propel herself upward
before flattening the genius of the Sky.
[Bayley] Candice does have tag team experience
as she did have the NXT tag team championships with Indi Hartwell.
So I can see why she could use that to her advantage,
but as you can see, my girls are much smarter.
[Patrick] It wasn't a backhanded compliment to Bianca Belair, was it?
[Bayley] I mean, where is she? I can't really see where she is.
-Not much help, you know. -[Patrick] That's a fair point.
[Bayley] She might need to go get her old partner in NXT.
[Patrick] Two-on-one as of right now
as Iyo Sky just digs the boot in toward the neck of Candice LeRae.
-Oh, my word. -[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Double knees right in the grill.
Replay that!
[Corey] Can we do that?
[Bayley] Yeah, can we get a replay on that?
-Oh, wait. -[Patrick] Cover!
[Patrick] Iyo Sky now. Kick out by Candice.
[Bayley] Oh, look who decided to finally crawl back up.
Little Bianca Belair.
-Wanting to get all the glory. -[Patrick] Guest on commentary.
Directing the show and now calling replays?
[Corey] There's nothing Bayley can't do, KP.
[Bayley] Very true.
-[Corey] Big German suplex. Wow. -[Bayley] Or Iyo Sky.
[Patrick] There is Bianca Belair, back on her feet,
cheering on Candice LeRae.
-Tag made. Here's Dakota Kai. -[grunting]
[Bayley] You know, Candice might have 20 years of experience
but Iyo has 15 herself. Dakota has 15 herself.
I have-- We have 45 years
-of experience together! -[Corey laughs]
Nobody can touch that. Watch this.
[Patrick] Candice LeRae in a tough spot now. Cover for the win.
She's still alive.
The Poison Pixie is still alive.
-[Corey] 45 years of experience. -[Bayley] Oh, it's beautiful.
[Corey] The reigning women's tag team champions.
The soon-to-be once again Raw Women's Champion.
[Bayley] Yep, yep. I mean, yeah.
When I feel like it.
I just had a ladder match a week ago. Can we just relax?
-[Corey] It was grueling. -[Patrick] Don't mention bruises.
-Uh-oh. -[Patrick] For the win here.
-[Corey] Inside cradle by LeRae. -[Bayley] Grab her, grab her.
[Patrick] Bayley on commentary.
The tag team champions, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky,
-against Bianca Belair and Candice LeRae. -[Corey] Oh, no.
[Patrick] And here comes Bianca.
The powerful Belair flattening Iyo Sky.
Third time.
[Corey] The EST is feeling it tonight.
[Bayley] She's a freaking show-off.
[Corey] Oh God, gutbuster.
[Bayley] Oh my!
[Corey] A back body drop takes out Iyo.
[Patrick] Bayley, you're not looking too comfortable on commentary here right now.
[Bayley] I'm very comfortable. Don't worry about me.
[crowd] Four! Five! Six…
[Bayley] These fans are loud and annoying.
[Patrick] They can certainly count in Oklahoma City.
[Corey] Tag-- I believe the tag was made.
I believe LeRae is now the legal competitor for her team.
[Patrick] She'll take a climb.
[Corey] Bayley, I'm not sure if Iyo realizes.
[Bayley] No, she doesn't.
And I'm pretty sure they're cheating the five-count!
[Patrick] Bianca tees it up.
Candice LeRae now for the win!
-Ooh! -[Corey] Just in time.
Dakota keeping this match alive for Damage CTRL.
What a gnarly landing for Iyo.
-Scorpion kick. -[Bayley] Here we go.
[Bayley] You ain't never seen anything like that.
-[Corey] Oh, no, yet again. -[shrieks]
[Corey] Belair now sent out to the apron.
-[Patrick] Dakota… -[all exclaiming]
…has her where she wants her. Down goes Belair.
[Bayley] No!
-Oh! -[Patrick] Candice LeRae's turn this time.
[Corey] Look, I believe it was a--
I'm not sure if it was--
[Patrick] There's bodies everywhere.
[Corey] Bayley's seen enough.
-[Patrick] She's off commentary. -[Corey] Coming to aid.
[Patrick] What's she-- Oh, no!
-[Corey] God. -[Patrick] Bayley has a kendo stick.
[Patrick] But Belair has her by the hair!
[Corey] Oh! Yikes!
Oh my God!
[Patrick] Both across the announce desk!
[Corey] Bianca Belair just took Bayley out over our commentary table.
The action continues.
This match is still underway.
LeRae is legal for her team, but now Iyo Sky…
-Makes the tag. -[Patrick] Tag made.
[Patrick] Here comes Dakota Kai. Two-on-one inside the ring,
with Bianca Belair down and out by the announce desk.
[Corey] Look at this double team incoming
-by Sky and Kai. -[Iyo grunting]
[Patrick] Oh! Devastating!
-One! Two! Three! -[Corey] Cover.
-[bell rings] -[Patrick] Victory for the tag champions.
["Still The Baddest" plays]
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the WWE women's tag team champions,
Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.
[crowd boos]
[Corey] Just checking on Bayley over here
who's certainly a little worse for wear after being
launched over our table courtesy of the Raw Women's Champion.
Bianca avoids the kendo stick
and then pow!
Takes Bayley out.
Which would open the door for the champs
to deliver this fantastic tandem offense.
One! Two! Three!
Overwhelming Candice LeRae.
[Patrick] Ultimately, the experience of Bayley,
guest on commentary, proves pivotal.
A little assist there to help out the tag champions
-with the victory over LeRae and Belair. -[inaudible conversation]

[crowd cheers]
Can I get your response to Seth "Freakin" Rollins'
comments from earlier this evening?
You know, Cath, I got to know Seth pretty well over the last few months.
I've come to realize
he's a lot like one of those cheap hoverboards.
You know, it's a lot of fun at first
and then it starts to overheat,
it sets your house on fire,
a bunch of tech nerds try to cover it up, it's wild.
But what I'm trying to say is
Seth can make any excuse he wants,
but I've already exposed him in the Fight Pit.
And tonight, I'm going to beat his ass bad,
and become the new United States Champion, bro. Yeah!
Wait. Hold on.
Ali, bro,
it takes a lot of guts to go out there
and stand up to Seth like you did.
And if I win the match tonight
and win the United States Championship,
I'll give you the opportunity you deserve, bro.
-For real? -For real.
-You're a stallion, dude. -Stallion.
-Yeah, bro. -[man screaming]
-[man] Oh, my knee. -What's that?
[man] Oh, my knee!
[groaning]
[Riddle] What the hell happened to you?
What do you mean? Can't you tell?
I was looking over my shoulder
to make sure that psycho stalker wasn't following me.
Just because some incompetent
high school dropout janitor
didn't do their job, I slipped, fell,
and now I'm injured.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Show a little respect. They're called facility guys.
Actually, it's "sanitation engineer," bro.
-Oh, I didn't know that. -Yeah--
[yells] Guys! It's shattered.
[groans] A torn ACL at the very least.
I'm going to sue this entire building.
[groaning]
There's no way I'm going to be able to compete tonight.
You guys got to get me help.
Get a doctor.
-EMT, a trainer. -All right, we'll get you help.
-Go. Go! -We'll do that right now.
[Riddle] Help! Miz needs help!
Is there a doctor?
That is right. Welcome back, folks.
Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves.
Pick Your Poison tomorrow night, NXT, 8/7 central.
We already know that Roxanne Perez has selected Raquel Rodriguez,
that was Friday night on SmackDown, to face Cora Jade,
but who is Jade going to pick?
I have no idea, but I have no doubt
that Cora Jade in that sinister mind of hers
has something big working.
We've been building and training together, okay?
The most important thing, nice guys, they finish last.
-It's always about the bad guy. -Mm-hmm.
[crowd exclaiming]
Rhea, I trust you've got everything under control here, right?
-I got it. -[Finn clicks tongue]
What you want, Cora?
So, you know how I'm facing Roxanne at Halloween Havoc, right?
Mm-hmm.
Well, we're doing Pick Your Poison matches first,
and Roxanne chose for me to face Raquel Rodriguez
tomorrow night on NXT,
but I still need to pick Roxanne's Poison.
So, I was thinking
and I couldn't come up with anyone
as ruthless and dominating as you.
So let me get this right.
You want me to go to NXT
to beat the living crap out of Roxanne Perez?
And you and her, you guys used to be best friends and tag team partners, right?
Unfortunately.
Same as Raquel and I.
I wouldn't mind putting Roxanne down for you.
I'm in.
["Longhorn" plays]
[Corey] I knew it, but… Oh! Oh! He's here!
[crowd cheering]
We are about to be graced
by the presence of a wrestling god!
[announcer] Please welcome WWE Hall of Famer,
John "Bradshaw" Layfield.
[Patrick] And you can hear the roar here in Oklahoma City for JBL.
That's who was rocking into the arena moments ago.
Former WWE Champion, Hall of Famer.
Question is, what is he doing here?
[Corey] Whatever the hell he wants, Kevin.
[crowd chants] JBL! JBL! JBL!
It takes a momentous occasion for the wrestling god
to come back to the WWE
and tonight is no exception.
I've got an announcement
that will shake the very foundation
of Monday Night Raw,
but before I make that announcement,
I would like to say something
from the bottom of my heart,
and in all sincerity to the world.
I apologize
for doing this
in Oklahoma.
-[crowd boos] -I mean, you've got to be kidding me!
The great state is right there!
The promised land is just south of the Red River,
and you trailer park-living hillbillies
don't even have the common sense to leave?
But wait, you did leave a couple of weeks ago
in the Red River shootout
when God bless Texas
put up half a hundred points on the boomer idiots!
[crowd booing]
They say you're going to the SCC?
How about trying the MAC?
That's a little more your speed.
But as much as I would love
to just stand out here and bash Oklahoma because,
honestly, I really
deep down despise this state
and every one of you…
But I have got great news.
Rey Mysterio has left Monday Night Raw.
Dominik has finally figured out
what we knew decades ago,
that that deadbeat dad Rey Mysterio
is one of the worst human beings on the planet.
He wears a mask
because he is ashamed of himself,
but that void…
that void has created the greatest trade
since The Bambino came to the Bronx,
and I'm talking about this.
So I want you, ladies and gentlemen,
get on your sweat-hog feet,
put your little, fat, chubby redneck hands together
and welcome the greatest addition
to Monday Night Raw in history,
and that is Mr. Baron Corbin!
-[Corey] Wow! -[crowd boos]
-["Get Ready Ready" plays] -[Corey] Wow. JBL, thank you!
[Patrick] Rey Mysterio out to SmackDown.
Baron Corbin in on Raw.
[Corey] This is so exciting!
♪ Jump, jump through the roof You know the one you got to choose ♪
♪ That's me, me, I'm feeling free Take a look, you like what you see ♪
♪ I'm bad, bold, bankroll, way up top… ♪
[Corey] What a move.
Baron Corbin from Friday Night SmackDown coming to Raw.
This is fantastic,
and it's only made better by the fact that Corbin is aligned with JBL?
[Patrick] They've got a lot in common. Are you surprised?
[Corey] These are two of my favorite human beings
walking God's green earth right now.
This is beyond thrill for everyone with a functioning brain.
Welcome to Monday nights!
What an alliance.
What a strategic alliance.
[crowd boos]
Look at this man.
He's two, three times
the size of Rey Mysterio,
and the dominance of Baron Corbin
starts tonight.
I ask for competition,
and what WWE gave Mr. Corbin
is a former world champion,
a former Money In The Bank winner.
They say that Dolph Ziggler stole the show.
I say Dolph Ziggler has been
stealing money from this company for 15 years
because if Dolph had been around in the Attitude Era,
he wouldn't have made the cut.
And after walking around backstage all day
and looking at this roster,
if they had been around in the Attitude Era,
while Hornswoggle would've enjoyed the extra competition,
the only way they would've enjoyed the show
is if they bought a ticket like you
and celebrated the stars like him!
[crowd boos]
This is a star
that would be a champion in any generation,
so I want you to remember these words.
I want you to write it down,
and I want you to etch it in stone.
Today starts the Monday Night Raw emergence
of the modern day wrestling god!
[Corey] Wow.
[crowd booing]
-[Patrick] He meant it. -[Corey] That was amazing.
["Here To Show The World" plays]
[Corey] Baron Corbin anointed the future wrestling god.
JBL mentioned him. Here comes Dolph Ziggler.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring,
residing in Hollywood, Florida,
weighing 218 pounds, Dolph Ziggler!
[Patrick] Stealing money for 15 years says JBL.
Let's see what Dolph Ziggler has to say about that
when he goes one-on-one
with the returning to Raw Baron Corbin.
It's coming your way on Monday Night Raw.
-Ring the bell! -[bell rings]
[Patrick] Welcome back. You're watching Monday Night Raw.
One-on-one action.
Baron Corbin the latest to join Monday Night Raw.
It was John "Bradshaw" Layfield, JBL,
WWE Hall of Famer breaking the news here.
Now JBL joining us on commentary.
[Corey] Why are you talking about him like he's not sitting right beside us?
-I'm sitting right here. -A bona fide wrestling god.
[Patrick] I did try to shake your hand.
A Hall of Famer. And what you talking about "latest"?
He's the greatest addition to Monday Night Raw in history.
Get it right.
I don't know who hired you, but it's like losing five good men.
Corey, it's great to see you.
[Corey] Likewise, John.
Well, John, while we have you here,
I figured we'd utilize your commentary expertise.
Tell us what you see in the future of Baron Corbin.
[JBL] What I see is more of what he's done in the past.
You have Baron Corbin who retired Kurt Angle.
You have Baron Corbin who won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal,
who won the King of the Ring.
This is King Corbin,
and this is going to be the modern-day wrestling god.
[Patrick] Of course, he takes the place of Rey Mysterio.
You had some words to say about Rey Mysterio
and that Corbin is two, three times the size of Mysterio.
Wasn't Mysterio the man that retired you at WrestleMania?
[JBL] That's not important at all right now, Shamrock.
-You understand me? -[Corey] I'm backing up.
[JBL] What's important is we have Baron Corbin
who went straight to the major leagues batting cleanup for the Yankees.
You don't hear about, "I spent 10 years independent."
You spend 10 years indepent, you're a loser
because you're stuck at Single-A ball.
Baron didn't have to. I didn't have to.
Greatness is timeless.
[Patrick] You did say that Dolph Ziggler
has been stealing money for 15 years in the WWE.
Ziggler a former World Heavyweight Champion,
two-time United States champion,
six-time Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler.
[JBL] Dolph is great in this era.
I don't say anything different.
-[Corey] Cover here. -[Patrick] Cover now. For the win.
[Patrick] Baron Corbin returning on Raw.
[JBL] But Dolph in the Attitude Era doesn't make the cut.
Baron Corbin does.
[Corey] As we take another look at the tremendous impact
off a back elbow from Corbin,
who's also a Golden Gloves boxing champion,
a grappling champion.
I've been singing the praises of Baron Corbin for years.
It's just nice to finally have the validation from a wrestling god.
[JBL] Yeah, and what you're going to see is a renewed Baron Corbin.
I spent a lot of time with Baron,
but you don't have to fine-tune much. Everything's there.
[crowd counts] Three! Four! Five!!
[JBL] It's like Michael Jordan's coach. Who remembers him?
Nobody, because he's that great.
That's how Baron Corbin is going to be,
and I don't mind that at all because he's the salvation of this business.
[Corey] Wow.
-Did you hear that, Kevin Patrick? -[Patrick] Big words.
-[Corey] The salvation. Cover here. -[Patrick] What an upset this would be.
Baron Corbin is the cornerstone.
He is what you can build a company on.
Any generation.
I'm talking Gotch, I'm talking Hackenschmidt,
I'm talking Thesz, Sammartino, Hogan. It doesn't matter.
Baron Corbin would rise to the top in any generation.
[Corey] It's not some geek on the Internet saying that, Kevin Patrick.
That is JBL, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, a WWE Hall of Famer.
[JBL] To get me to leave my private island and come back,
it has to be something special, and Baron Corbin is.
[Patrick] Private island? I thought you made the 21-hour drive from Wall Street?
-[JBL] Where did you get him, Corey? -[Corey] You know what, John. Listen.
-It's a delicate situation. -I'm sorry.
[JBL] It's like a dime out here with a dollar.
[Patrick] Appreciate that, gentlemen.
[JBL] You're the dime.
[Patrick] Dolph Ziggler during the commercial break saying,
"You're not wrestling gods. A couple of wrestling jackasses."
-Any response? -[JBL] Dolph Ziggler's a smart aleck.
-He always has been. That's his problem. -[Corey] Wow! Look at this power!
[Patrick] Look at the strength on show from Baron Corbin.
No point of leverage. Nothing.
Straight power. That is God-given strength by Baron Corbin.
[Corey] An inverted vertical suplex
from Baron Corbin. Wow.
Let's take a look at this.
[JBL] Look at the speed. Look at the speed.
-[all exclaiming] -[Patrick] Clothesline takes out Ziggler.
-I've seen that before. -[Corey laughs]
[Corey] Reminiscent of the old clothesline from hell.
[JBL] Excuse me, Dolph. You're missing your head.
This could be it. Let him be counted out, Baron.
Take your win. Great job.
[Corey] Thunderous impact on the lariat by Corbin.
[Patrick] So how far can he go then on Monday Night Raw?
We saw the way this show started tonight.
Hellacious battle between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley.
[Corey] Kevin, I'll give you advice.
When JBL says something, it's best to listen the first time
because it's usually gold.
JBL anointed Baron Corbin as a future wrestling god.
[Patrick] The future wrestling god putting on a show here.
[crowd booing]
[Patrick] Breaking news tonight.
Baron Corbin is now on Monday Night Raw.
News broken by JBL, WWE Hall of Famer,
on the commentary desk with me, Kevin Patrick, and Corey Graves.
Dolph Ziggler was over moments ago.
He slapped the cowboy hat, and you managed to stay in your seat.
He can fight the hat, doesn't fight back. Try fighting Baron Corbin, okay?
That is the emergence of the modern-day wrestling god.
That's the problem that right now Dolph Ziggler has.
[Corey] Mark this night down on our calendars, Kevin Patrick,
because we're going to be referring to it for years to come.
The emergence of the new wrestling god,
Monday night, October 17th, 2022.
[crowd chants] Bum ass Corbin!
[JBL] You are witnessing the road to immortality, Shamrock.
[Patrick] I do love a good shamrock shake.
Chants of "bum ass Corbin" ring out around the arena here in Oklahoma City.
[Corey] Listen, we thought those chants left when the other goof did, okay?
This is not the time to insult Baron Corbin.
[Patrick] I'm not insulting.
I'm being an impartial journalist here, Graves.
[JBL] These Oklahoma fans don't know any better.
-[Patrick] Oh! -[Corey] Uh-oh!
[Patrick] Dolph Ziggler slamming Corbin.
[Corey] Cat-like agility in the corner by Ziggler.
[Patrick] You might be stuck for words here in the moment, JBL,
if Dolph Ziggler can see off Baron Corbin.
[JBL] Yeah, you might be knocked out and out of a job here in a moment too.
[Corey] Oh, don't do that to me again.
-[Corey and Patrick exclaim] -One! Two!
[Corey] Elbow drop right to the heart
of the future wrestling god, Baron Corbin.
And I notice, JBL, you're not even sweating.
-You're not nervous. You're not concerned. -Not at all.
I've been working with Baron Corbin.
I have been talking with Baron Corbin.
I have absolute confidence in what he's doing.
No disrespect to Dolph Ziggler.
Dolph Ziggler's great for this era.
He's just not Baron Corbin.
[Corey] Case in point. Look at this.
-[JBL] Uh-oh! A little fallaway slam. -[Corey exclaims]
-[laughs] -[Patrick] The power, the pace
-of everything Corbin is doing tonight. -One! Two!
-[roars] -[Patrick] Kickout by Ziggler.
[JBL] The common vernacular back in the day
had a little more flamboyant name for it.
[Corey laughs]
[JBL] We'll just call it the fallaway slam.
[Corey] Dolph Ziggler feeling all of the impact
courtesy of Baron Corbin.
[Patrick] I will say, it is staggering up close to see the pace
of someone so tall in Baron Corbin.
[crowd chants] Bum ass Corbin!
[Corey] Baron Corbin's a spectacular athlete.
That's no secret to anybody.
-It's the-- Oh, no! -[Patrick] Uh-oh!
[Patrick] Corbin in trouble. Big-time trouble.
Ziggler for the victory!
Corbin kicks out.
Of course he does.
[Patrick] Not even a flinch on the face of JBL.
I have absolute confidence in Baron Corbin.
It's a simple system.
You constantly wear down your opponent.
You're constantly aggressive,
and you'll chase him till the ends of the earth if you have to.
[Corey] We see Ziggler delivering the Famouser.
Not enough to keep Corbin down.
That may have been Dolph's last gasp.
[JBL] Dolph just gave Corbin everything he had
and Baron Corbin is standing.
[crowd exclaiming]
[Corey] Oh my God. A headbutt from Ziggler.
-[Patrick] Effective too. -[Corey] Dolph wanted the zig zag.
-[Corey] Oh, baby! -[JBL exclaims]
-[JBL] Oh! There we go! -[Corey] Deep six.
-One! Two! -[Corey] Oh!
What?
[Corey] It looks as though Corbin's feeling a little frustrated.
Understandably so after connecting with this thunderous deep six.
Driving Dolph spine first into the center of the ring,
but somehow The Showoff survives.
[JBL] Corbin always getting to his feet.
Corbin always going forward.
That is what a future world champion does.
Yeah, mark that down, Shamrock.
-Future world champion. -[Patrick] Wrote it down.
[Patrick] Coming from a former WWE Champion.
-[JBL] And a Hall of Famer. -[Patrick] And a Hall of Famer.
[Corey] John, I know you're not surprised, we're in Oklahoma,
but how do you feel about these disrespectful chants of "Bum ass Corbin"?
[JBL] It's unbelievable to me what a certain person
whose name I'm not gonna mention, you aptly took their place,
started for Baron Corbin.
It's just a matter of disrespect.
Look, you hate what you can't be.
A lot of these fans sit around, look around and say,
"I could be one of these guys." You could with half this roster.
You can't be Baron Corbin.
[Corey] Oh, no!
Zig zag connects.
-[crowd counts] One! Two! -[JBL exclaims]
[Corey] Keep… keep looking at the monitor, Kevin.
-You saw nothing this side of the table. -[Patrick] Nothing at all.
[Corey] Moral support from a wrestling god, a Hall of Famer,
looking on as Dolph Ziggler hits a dropkick.
Avoids the boot of Corbin and then wham!
Zig zag takes Corbin down,
-but does not take Baron Corbin out. -[crowd counts] One! Two!
[JBL] If you're Dolph, what do you do? You gotta be frustrated.
You hit Baron Corbin with everything you had.
[Corey] Don't look at the monitor. I don't know why.
We're going to talk to someone in the truck about that.
[JBL] The whole world is against Baron Corbin.
I understand what that's like.
When I was carrying the company in 2004,
-the whole world was against me too. -[crowd cheering]
[Patrick] Maybe it's because they want to see Rey Mysterio.
[JBL] I don't want to hear about Rey Mysterio.
Talk about Baron Corbin.
[Corey] Ziggler was lining up a superkick.
-Corbin sensed it coming! -[Patrick] Oh!
[JBL] Ball game!
-You can count to 100. -[Patrick] There it is.
-[Corey] End of days. -[Patrick] End of days.
[JBL] Corey, great to see you.
-[bell rings] -Not you, Shamrock.
["Get Ready Ready" plays]
[Patrick] See you, John.
[announcer] Here is your winner, Baron Corbin!
[Corey] What a debut on Monday Night Raw.
The emergence of a future wrestling god.
[Patrick] So you're buying it.
You're buying every word JBL is saying here on Raw.
[Corey] Hell, yeah! I'm getting in on the ground floor.
[Patrick] Look at Dolph. Dolph almost had it. He almost won.
[Corey] But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Tonight was not Dolph Ziggler's night.
It was never going to be.
Because the proclamation was made
by a Hall of Famer,
a current wrestling god,
that Baron Corbin is the new force to be reckoned with
-on Monday Night Raw. -[bell rings]
[Patrick] A hell of a match.
And it's Corbin standing tall when it's all said and done.
As Corey Graves, I can tell you, folks, applauding Corbin.
Baron Corbin is Monday Night Raw,
making a statement to the locker room.
[inaudible]
[crowd boos]
[shrieks] Don't touch it, don't touch it!
I can't even look, Doc.
Is it out of place? Is it shattered?
Just do the surgery and, uh, put me under, please?
-Get rid of the pain. [groans] -[Byron] Miz.
Oh, it's so bad.
Uh, any update on whether or not
you're still going to be able to face Dexter Lumis here tonight?
As you can see, I'm in an immense amount of pain.
No matter the diagnosis,
I don't think I'm going to be able to compete tonight. [groans]
Well, it would seem you're incapacitated at the moment.
However, a number of members of the custodial staff
have come forward and claimed that they saw you pouring water on the floor
and then sitting on it.
And they also claim that you're the one who set up the wet floor sign.
And in fact, we checked the custodial records,
and apparently the floor hasn't been mopped since last night.
Are you suggesting that I staged this whole accident,
that I made this whole thing up
just so I can get out of the match?
How dare you?
I mean… I am very, very injured right now.
And it hurts.
And, of course, they're going to say I staged this whole thing.
They're trying to fabricate like, uh, an alibi
because I have a huge lawsuit on my hand.
So who are you going to believe? Me?
[man] Oh my God, it's Dexter Lumis!
Where?
[crowd cheers]
My bad.
It's just Byron.
Common mistake. Mm.
Wow, Miz.
What a miraculous recovery.
Looks like you can face Dexter Lumis tonight after all.
Yes. Yes, I will.
Looks like my superior DNA
has allowed to heal up faster than a normal human being.
And that is unfortunate for he who shall not be named
because he's the one that's going to be injured tonight.
[Corey] Go get 'em, Miz.
[Patrick] Yeah, impeccable work from Byron Saxton.
Folks, when we come back, we're going to look back
at the emotional, the moving, and yet incredibly mystifying return
of Bray Wyatt to Friday Night SmackDown.
And again, more questions than answers.
Allow me to make this very clear.
I am not here to disparage one Braun Strowman.
To the contrary,
I'm here to celebrate Braun Strowman,
his size, his strength,
-his ferocity… -[roars]
and a former Universal Champion.
The very mention of the name Braun Strowman
strikes fear in the hearts of ordinary men.
But as you can see,
this gentleman standing to my right
is very far from ordinary.
He is in fact the personification of the word
"extraordinary."
That's why this Friday,
we're going to SmackDown.
And "The Nigerian Giant" Omos
is going to walk right up to Braun Strowman
and look down at him,
directly into his eyes
to make sure that the so-called monster of all monsters understands
that the 7'3" 403-pound Nigerian Giant
fears no man.
Because, let's face it,
monsters aren't real,
but giants are.
I didn't know if there is anyone on the planet Earth
large enough to be capable to make Braun Strowman feel fear.
I think Omos may be that guy.
-It's going to be a colossal encounter. -Yeah.
Listen, speaking of monsters,
I don't think you or I or anybody else
are going to forget Bray Wyatt's return to WWE at EXTREME RULES.
Well, this Friday night on SmackDown,
Wyatt had an emotional and yet perplexing appearance
on SmackDown.
[ominous music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Bray] This right here, this is just me, okay?
This is a version of me that
I-- I've never got to introduce to you guys before.
This is just me being me,
genuine me for the first time.
This past year of my life,
I've… I lost a lot of things,
I lost my career,
I lost my self-confidence,
I lost two people who were very, very close to me.
People everywhere, they would say, "Thank you, Bray, man."
"When are you coming back home?"
I thought that everything that I've ever done here or otherwise,
I thought it was all meaningless,
nothing I ever did has mattered to anyone.
And I was wrong.
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Bray!
Thank you.
You all saved my life.
Every time I tried to run away and hide, you were there to find me.
You are the reason--
[haunting music playing]
Oh, little one, my little, little one.
Come. Come. Come with me.
Your life is done.
Forget the future, forget the past.
Life is over.
Breathe your last.
You got no idea who you're dealing with, do you?
Oh, but you will.
[laughs]
You will.
Don't get involved. Don't get me disqualified for this.
Excuse me, fellas. [laughs]
Cameron Grimes, what brings you to Monday Night Raw?
Well, you see, I've been having a problem with the Schism Brothers down in NXT.
And I could really use some help.
So I'm here to see if you boys wanted to be my tag team partners
tomorrow night.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Uncle Allen, is this the brother with all the cash, the, uh…
-Millionaire? -Well, it's crypto, though.
-Oh, that's okay. -Oh, he's got money, though.
Crypto's kind of--
Oh! Hold on, hold on.
I don't know if you know this or not, but we are cash-only, brother-friendly.
I love money.
If you need a couple of partners tomorrow night on NXT,
we're your guys.
That is too sweet!
I will see you guys tomorrow.
Watch out now. [laughs]
Crypto is not what it used to be.
-It's not-- -That's a payday for the boys.
We love money, he's got tons of it.
-You guys haven't changed a bit. -Can I sell this after the match tonight?
What's the deal?
When are you going to stop?
[indistinct conversation]
[Patrick] The O.C. headed to NXT tomorrow night.
Listen, folks, Dominik Mysterio may have ran his father, Rey,
out of Monday Night Raw, but he's gained a few enemies along the way.
AJ Styles calling Dominik a punk earlier tonight.
They'll go one-one-one next on Raw.
[crowd cheers]
[Patrick] Get excited, folks.
Crown Jewel, two weeks from Saturday from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
where the undisputed WWE Universal Championship is on the line.
I can tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
tickets are now on sale for this premium live event.
Corey Graves, whet the appetite.
[Corey] If you can be there in person
to witness the battle that will be
Roman Reigns defending his title against Logan Paul.
I cannot wait to get to Riyadh.
It's going to be one for the ages.
And if you can be there live, why not be?
It's going to be awesome.
Really looking forward to that.
Two matches in WWE
versus over two years of complete and utter dominance.
But would you bet against Logan Paul at this rate,
given what he's managed to do?
[Corey] It always takes one lucky punch.
That's what Logan Paul is relying on.
Roman Reigns fully expecting to smash him.
[Patrick] Let's go back to a little bit earlier on
because Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley,
it was a chaotic start to Monday Night Raw.
I cannot wait when these two animalistic superstars
do battle in Saudi Arabia.
It's Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Corey Graves, how exciting is this?
[Corey] Two of the most decorated combat athletes on Earth
will collide in Riyadh.
Man, can it just get here already?
["Phenomenal" plays]
[Patrick] Should also say The O.C. and The Judgment Day.
[Corey] I am excited to wake up in Riyadh, eat my breakfast,
then watch the sunrise in the desert.
-[Patrick] You love breakfast in Riyadh. -It's beautiful over there.
♪ No, they don't want none No, they don't want none… ♪
[Patrick] Earlier on tonight, folks, we saw tag team action.
The O.C. against the Alpha Academy.
AJ Styles in the ring after the victory for The O.C.,
where they were confronted by The Judgment Day.
Dominik Mysterio, he's been piping up of late.
A little bit of confidence in the younger Mysterio
now that his father, Rey, has gone across to SmackDown.
-[Corey] Listen, I-- -[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first,
accompanied to the ring by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson,
representing The O.C.,
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!
[Corey] Listen, I think AJ Styles simply verbalized the feelings
of a lot of the WWE Universe
regarding Dominik Mysterio tonight.
Dom certainly hasn't won over many fans since doing what he did
in turning his back on his father.
♪ No, they don't want none No, they don't want none… ♪
[Patrick] Yeah, how the tide has turned for a reeling Rey Mysterio.
♪ No, they don't want none They looking scared… ♪
And this match is one you can also see at Crown Jewel.
♪ No, they don't want none… ♪
The O.C. back together again.
Gallows, Anderson, Styles,
they're going to take on The Judgment Day of Priest, Bálor,
and Mysterio, with Rhea Ripley by their side.
[Corey] Definitely going to be a hard-hitting affair,
The O.C., The Judgment Day, but right now,
AJ Styles focused on one member
of The Judgment Day in particular.
["The Other Side" plays]
[crowd booing]
[fireworks explode]
[announcer] And his opponent,
accompanied to the ring by Rhea Ripley,
Finn Bálor, and Damian Priest,
representing The Judgment Day,
Dominik Mysterio!
[Corey] Fire in his eyes, ice in his veins.
This is a Dominik Mysterio the world has just begun to know.
[Patrick] Rey Mysterio, Friday night on SmackDown
asking Triple H would he allow him to quit.
Triple H managed to convince him to move across to SmackDown.
[Corey] What you're doing right now is why Dominik does what he does.
We're talking about Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day,
yet you have to bring up Rey Mysterio.
Yes, Rey Mysterio cast a giant shadow over this industry.
Dominik is simply tired of existing in it.
Dominik had to strike out on his own.
He's got a few allies by his side.
And obviously, Rhea makes Dominik feel some type of way.
[Patrick] AJ Styles perhaps sticking up for the legendary luchador
who may very well be watching on from afar.
Styles calling Dominik Mysterio a punk
for the way he's treated his father, Rey.
[inaudible]
What do you think Rhea is saying?
[Corey] I don't know what Rhea is saying,
but obviously whatever Rhea has been saying to Dominik
has given her something of a hypnotic grasp
over Dominik Mysterio.
And I think this alliance
is going to mean great things in the long term
for Dominik and his career.
[crowd booing]
♪ If you believe yours is the only way ♪
♪ Then you're a fool… ♪
[Patrick] AJ Styles really stunned the world,
recruiting Gallows and Anderson last week,
when it looked like he was about to join The Judgment Day.
[Corey] And some of us have been asking since last week,
what if… what if AJ Styles
had bitten into the forbidden apple,
the pleasures of the world
unlocked by The Judgment Day
for all its members to enjoy?
It's a very hell-raiser situation, KP.
[Patrick] Ask those questions all day, Graves.
You cannot rock the moral compass of a man like AJ Styles.
[Corey] Sometimes if your moral compass
isn't leading you in the direction you want to be,
you throw it out the window and take your own path.
[Patrick] Or you bring back your brothers.
It's exactly what he's done.
[inaudible]
Gallows and Anderson by his side, AJ Styles,
"The Phenomenal One" set to go one-on-one
with Dominik Mysterio.
[inaudible conversation]
This truly feels like an emotional match, doesn't it?
[Corey] It feels as though AJ wants to teach Dominik a lesson.
-Ring the bell! -[bell rings]
[Corey] But what stands out to me is the confidence that Styles has tonight,
knowing Gallows and Anderson are here at ringside to watch his back.
Ordinarily, you compete against one member of The Judgment Day,
you're competing against all of them.
AJ has one singular focus tonight.
[Patrick] Styles starting bright here.
[Corey] AJ just wearing out Dominik from the opening bell.
[Patrick] Is that a surprise,
given the experience of someone like AJ Styles?
[Corey] Absolutely not.
AJ called his shot. AJ threw down the gauntlet.
Dominik accepted.
And now, AJ wants to teach Dom a lesson, period.
Does Dominik need to be taught a lesson?
That's up for debate.
AJ certainly seems to think so.
[Patrick] The Judgment Day riding high recently at EXTREME RULES,
making Edge say I quit.
Con-Chair-To to Beth Phoenix,
the wife of Edge, after that match.
[Corey] Truly a difficult sight to witness,
but you can see just the confidence,
the swagger in Styles tonight enhanced compared to…
only last week, before the arrival of the rest of The O.C.
[Patrick] Is it fair to suggest that AJ Styles is representing
the men's locker room when he's in a match here with Dominik Mysterio
given all that Mysterio has done?
i think right now, AJ's focus is on himself, Gallows, and Anderson,
all collectively with one goal, eliminate The Judgment Day.
I don't necessarily think
Styles is out to represent anybody other than himself and The O.C.
But I'm sure there's a lot of people in the locker room
who are watching very closely, hoping Styles succeeds.
Oh! Kick right to the temple of Dom!
Hey, listen, this is a completely uneven matchup
if you're talking about experience.
AJ Styles has a world of experience, a Grand Slam Champion.
Dominik is just starting his journey in this industry.
[Patrick] The man that's not is his father, Rey,
-who won a fatal four-way on SmackDown. -[Corey] My God!
[Patrick] I'm telling people
because he's the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship now.
So maybe the tide has turned for Rey
since he left Monday Night Raw.
That shadow being his son, Dominik,
constantly begging into him, no longer there.
You think rolling out is going to help you?
Get up!
[Corey] Dominik retreating to the floor.
And maybe Dominik is a little overmatched, a little overwhelmed
by "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
who continues to pour it on!
[Patrick] As always, you got to keep an eye.
There's Rhea Ripley watching in the background.
-Alongside Priest and Bálor. -Three!
Four!
Oh, you want a piece of me?
Come on, back it off, Rhea.
-You want to hit me? Do it! -I want to knock you into next week.
Come on, come on.
AJ, leave her alone.
This chick needs to be blasted.
[referee] Come on.
Come and get me then. Come on, come on.
Come on!
[Corey] AJ restraining himself and it cost him.
Rhea Ripley once again
the X-factor for The Judgment Day,
trying to goad Styles into doing something stupid
that Rhea honestly knows
-AJ would never do. -[indistinct shouting]
But it took AJ's eye off the ball
long enough to allow Dominik to capitalize.
And look at Dominik go.
[Patrick] It was all AJ Styles before that intervention from Rhea Ripley.
[crowd boos]
The WWE Universe here in Oklahoma City
letting Dominik Mysterio
-know how they feel. -[referee] One! Two! Three!
[crowd boos]
AJ, huh?
[laughs] Shaken a little bit?
Let go of him, Dom! Let's go! One!
[Corey] I think the style that Dominik has adopted is very beneficial to him.
He's not trying to constantly push the pace like his father taught him.
Dominik is operating at his own pace
and now just basking in the disadulation of Oklahoma City.
[Patrick] Do you feel The Judgment Day has been benefited Dominik Mysterio?
-Has he grown? -[Corey] 100%, yes.
As a competitor, as a man,
I think The Judgment Day has been great for Dominik Mysterio.
I understand why people have their feelings hurt,
everybody has their emotional attachment to Rey.
-There's a little homage to Uncle Eddie. -[Patrick] Cover.
Early kick out from Styles,
but it certainly may have helped Dominik Mysterio here in WWE,
but he won't be invited to any family dinners any time soon.
[Corey] It's helping Dominik beyond the halls of WWE,
as a human, as a man!
-[Patrick] Human, this is helping him? -[Corey] Absolutely.
If you're stuck in your father's shadow your entire life,
you never maximize your potential.
That's all Dominik's trying to do.
[Patrick] I've heard people back in the men's locker room questioning
whether Dominik Mysterio would even be in the WWE
if it wasn't for his father, Rey.
[Rhea] Come on, Dom!
I'm taking the trash out!
[Corey] AJ Styles trying to teach Dom a lesson.
[Patrick] Can Dominik respond? Styles on top!
[indistinct conversation]
[Patrick] Welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
AJ Styles "The Phenomenal One,"
promising to teach the punk, Dominik Mysterio,
those are his words, a lesson here tonight,
one-on-one action,
with The O.C. and The Judgment Day standing by ringside.
So far, it has been the case, Corey.
Safe to assume that it has been AJ Styles teaching Dominik Mysterio.
[Corey] This has been a one-sided affair, let's be honest, we'll call it what it is.
AJ Styles in a completely different league than Dominik Mysterio
as pertains to being a WWE superstar.
That doesn't mean Dominik is in the wrong
for striking out on his own to find his own path.
[Patrick] AJ Styles taking to the top rope. Up goes Mysterio.
[Corey] Great athleticism by Dominik, great balance.
Looking to make something big happen at the expense of the Phenomenal One,
but Styles with the short jabs to the ribs.
[Patrick] Oh!
Big blow from AJ.
[Finn] You got to get up. Stand up now.
[Patrick] He's far away. Can Styles get the distance?
-But Rhea Ripley with the intervention. -[crowd boos]
Referee, Eddie Orengo, looking elsewhere.
[Corey] I thought that's why The O.C. was here.
[yelling indistinctly]
Looks to me like The Judgment Day, once again,
a step ahead of the person targeting them.
We saw what happened to Edge.
Could AJ Styles be the next addition to the shelf
-at the hands of The Judgment Day? -[crowd boos]
[Patrick] Gallows and Anderson having a word with the official as well,
chiming in, looking to protect AJ Styles.
[Corey] Hey, listen. Gallows and Anderson have never met rules
they weren't afraid to bend or break right in half.
[both exclaiming]
[Corey] Clothesline in the corner
and Styles beginning to show signs of battle. Cover.
[Patrick] Dominik Mysterio, now, can he put away Styles?
The answer is no as of right now.
-AJ, come on. -Come on, AJ.
Come on, AJ. Let's go.
[Rhea] Get him. Get him. Yes!
[Patrick] The O.C. back together again
to stand in the face of The Judgment Day.
We're going to see The O.C. and The Judgment Day at Crown Jewel,
November 5th, the premium live event from Saudi Arabia.
As of right now, who's gonna get the bragging rights?
Dominik Mysterio or AJ Styles?
Oh! His father, Rey, would be disgusted looking at that.
[Corey] I'm going to start fining you
for every time you insist on mentioning Rey Mysterio during a Dominik match.
[Patrick] The legendary luchador.
[Corey] I agree. I've got nothing but love for Rey Mysterio
and I don't find it to be my business
to meddle in his relationship with his son.
[Patrick] Yet you think what he's doing is a good idea here with The Judgment Day.
For the win!
[indistinct conversation]
[Corey] A look of concern on the faces of Gallows and Anderson.
We're rapidly approaching the United States Championship match
in our main event
as Rollins defends against Riddle.
[Patrick] Riddle a man that made Seth Rollins tap
inside the Fight Pit at EXTREME RULES.
[Corey] It was a strategic tap, Kevin.
[Patrick] So Rollins said earlier on tonight.
Swing and a miss from AJ Styles. The big boot effective.
-[Corey] Styles out of the corner. Again. -[Patrick] Clothesline on Mysterio.
Resilient AJ Styles finding energy.
-But can he put away Dominik? -[Corey exclaims]
[Corey] Sliding forearm rocked Dominik Mysterio
much to the chagrin of The Judgment Day.
[Patrick] The face of fury from Rhea Ripley watching on.
[Corey] AJ with a pumphandle applied into a gut buster.
-Spectacular. -[Patrick] And that may do it. AJ Styles!
Dominik Mysterio won't go away.
[Corey] You got to give Dominik a little bit of credit.
You sit here and assassinate his character night after night.
Let's give credit where it's due.
Dominik continues to improve.
[Patrick] The young WWE superstar
hanging with an absolute legend in AJ Styles.
[crowd counts] One! Two!
[Corey] Think of what it would do not only for Dominik Mysterio
but the entire Judgment Day to pick up a win over Styles tonight
as we head toward Crown Jewel.
-The confidence boost it would be. -Again! Again!
Come on, AJ!
[Corey] Dominik from the bottom rope, attempting a tornado DDT.
Styles a step ahead.
[Patrick] Well, the headbutt from Dominik.
Now he'll take flight.
[Corey] Oh, wow!
That might do it!
-[Priest] Come on. Come on. -[Patrick] That may very well do it.
[Patrick] Not the case again. AJ Styles still in it.
[Corey] Now, this is where Dominik needs to push the pace.
Dominik has Styles down, has Styles hurt.
Dom lining it up. Dropkick to the spine of Styles.
-[Patrick] Oh, we know what's coming. -[Corey] Oh, wow.
[Patrick] My word.
-[Corey] Oh! Styles out of the way. -[Patrick] 619 missed.
[Patrick] Styles.
[Corey] AJ with the calf crusher.
[Patrick] Has he got it? Has he got it?
It looks like he has!
[Corey] Dom desperately reaching for the ropes.
Break it! He's got the ropes! He's got the ropes, ref.
He's got the ropes.
[Corey] I have to imagine that over the past several hours,
Finn Bálor been able to coach Dominik up
as pertains to AJ Styles.
Finn and AJ go way, way back.
Almost as far as these Good Brothers.
[Patrick] A standoff.
The Judgment Day. The O.C.
-Styles! -[Corey exclaims]
-Makes the first move. -[Corey] There we go!
[indistinct shouting]
[Corey] Our official, Eddie Orengo, doing his best to maintain order.
No easy feat, but now Styles solo. Oh!
[Patrick] Rhea Ripley.
[Corey] And the official tied up on the outside.
-Shoulders down. -[Patrick] Dominik for the win!
-[Patrick] Oh, he's got it! -[bell rings]
-[Corey] Oh my God! It happened. -["The Other Side" plays]
[announcer] Here is your winner, Dominik Mysterio!
[crowd booing]
[Patrick] A stunning victory for young Dominik Mysterio.
A statement victory for The Judgment Day.
Yes! You did it! You did it!
[Corey] I just witnessed it with my own eyes
and I still don't believe it.
Yes! Yes!
[Corey] That's got to be the biggest upset in years.
[Patrick] No question.
With The O.C. standing by his side, AJ Styles cannot believe it.
He's been beaten by Dominik Mysterio,
the man he called a punk earlier tonight.
[Corey] Let's call it what it is.
The O.C. was outstrategized by The Judgment Day.
Rhea Ripley playing factor once again,
and a look of complete disbelief
washing over the face of the Phenomenal One.
[Patrick] Disbelief or disgust, no doubt about it.
Styles will be furious and roll on November 5,
when The O.C. clash with The Judgment Day
at Crown Jewel.
[Corey] The biggest win of Dominik's career.
[crowd booing]
[crowd cheers]
-What do you want? -I don't want anything.
I feel compelled to help a fellow Clevelander out, though.
I've known Dexter for a long time,
and I know the real story between you two.
What the hell are you talking about?
You want out of this match tonight?
Simple solution.
Just tell everyone the truth.
The truth?
The truth is that I've been victimized by a demented stalker,
and after tonight,
-after I beat him… -Mm-hmm.
-…he who shall not be named… -Dexter. His name is Dexter.
…will be banned forever.
Okay. Good luck with that.
Oh, and, uh, after I'm done with him,
maybe I've got a score to settle with you too.
Okay.
Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Knee looks great, though, by the way. Real powerful.
["Greatness" plays]
[Corey] Well, after weeks and weeks of torment,
of terrorization by Dexter Lumis,
Miz has a chance to write the final chapter tonight.
One-on-one, the Miz,
and I hate saying this, it feels dirty,
Dexter Lumis.
If Dexter wins, he receives a WWE contract.
Let's go, Miz.
[Patrick] To say the beginning of Monday Night Raw tonight
was chaotic and unexpected is a massive understatement.
Lashley calling out Lesnar after what happened last week
when Lesnar brutalized Lashley's arm.
Lesnar would show up, Corey Graves, and then this ensued.
[Corey] To the surprise of absolutely no one,
these two behemoths threw everything they had at one another,
destroying our ringside barricade,
and they weren't done yet.
[Patrick] Took about 40 men to try and get Bobby Lashley out of the arena,
but The All Mighty would come back in devastating fashion.
Across our announce desk,
making statement after statement in the face of Brock Lesnar.
And Lesnar, quite frankly,
didn't have a response to Lashley tonight.
[Corey] Lesnar found himself in unfamiliar territory
as tonight The Beast Incarnate was the one driven through a table
at the hands of The All Mighty.
[Patrick] They'll meet again November 5th.
The premium live event called Crown Jewel is coming your way
from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley will collide.
That is one you simply cannot miss.
[Corey] Two of the most dominant,
brutal, powerful human beings on the planet Earth will collide.
Lashley, Lesnar II.
["Arrived" plays]
[Corey] This guy just makes me feel all types of uncomfortable.
[Patrick] It's chilling.
[Corey] This is a man who has made The Miz's life a living hell
over the past several weeks
with really no explanation given.
[all exclaiming]
-[Patrick] It's The Miz. -[Corey] How brave!
[Patrick] They were supposed to go one-on-one!
[Corey] Miz is destroying Dexter Lumis with a steel chair.
[Patrick] But…
the stipulation was clear.
It's something Miz signed up for, he agreed to this.
[Corey] Well, Lumis isn't getting a contract.
[crowd booing]
[Patrick] Lumis may not get a contract any time soon.
[Corey] That is how you destroy a bogeyman.
[crowd chanting] Tiny balls!
Hey, need some help.
[crowd booing]
[referee] Dexter, get up!
[Dexter] Back's gone.
[referee] Get up, Dexter, you got this!
Listen, I hope for Miz's sake,
and Miz's entire family's sake,
they're able to get some sleep tonight
after finally getting Dexter Lumis off their case.
You think that's going to make Lumis go away?
It made Lumis go to sleep.
I'm not so sure, Graves. I'm not so sure.
Let's go backstage now and check in
with our broadcast colleague, Byron Saxton.
Dakota, Iyo,
congratulations on your victory earlier on tonight.
-[crowd booing] -But what's next for Damage CTRL?
What's next? What's next?
You don't want to shed some light
on how we just beat the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair, and Candice LeRae?
I'm so tired of people like you asking us what's next
instead of appreciating
what's unfolding right in front of your eyes. Okay, Byron?
Let's appreciate the now.
And right now, I want to ask you a question.
Uh, where's Alexa Bliss?
-Well, I'm not-- -[laughs] We got rid of her.
You're welcome.
Hey, and where's Asuka?
-Gone. -[laughs]
And this is just a preview
of how we will continue to reign over the tag division.
[speaking in Japanese]
Ah, yeah.
I hope that Raquel and Shotzi were watching very closely tonight
because they don't stand a chance against Iyo and Dakota
this Friday night on SmackDown.
And as for me,
well, I'm over what Bianca pulled tonight
and I'm over what happened at EXTREME RULES
because she did not pin me.
But I'm not gonna let her off that easy.
Because, Bianca, next week,
I'm going to show you what it's like when I'm back in control.
Let's go.
[Corey] Statement made crystal clear
by Bayley and Damage CTRL
as we barrel toward next Monday night,
where Bayley will go one-on-one
one more time with the Raw Women's Champion,
"The EST of WWE" Bianca Belair.
[Patrick] But coming up next…
[guitar music playing]
Hello, I am Elias.
[Patrick] The bearded beauty Elias back on Monday Night Raw.
What sort of tunes is he going to play?
Get excited, Corey Graves.
[Corey] I'd rather slam my head in the door.
[creaking]
[dramatic music playing]
[man 1] It's the spookiest night of the year.
It's Halloween Havoc!
The target on the champion's back
gets bigger and bigger.
Breakker dragging off McDonagh,
the biggest prize in NXT!
[crowd booing]
Bad move, Mike.
Bad move. You really think that's going to stop Dexter?
The only thing that's gonna make him stop is if you give him what you promised.
I don't know what you're talking about!
You know what I do know is?
Is that he's not getting a WWE contract any time soon.
I feel bad for you.
What's the worst that can happen if you tell the truth, right?
You get canceled.
You lose your house, you're living on the street.
Me and Candice take over Miz & Mrs. That's the rest--
Enough!
-What the hell are you wearing? -Oh!
You know what this is?
It's a whistle.
I put it on for dramatic effect,
but if you don't come clean,
I am going to blow the whistle on you.
-[Corey] Johnny Blackmail. -[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
making his long awaited return to Monday Night Raw,
the most prolific musical recording artist
in WWE history,
Elias!
-[Patrick] Now this is exciting. -[guitar music playing]
Hello, I am Elias
and it feels great to be back.
Now, as you may or may not know,
my younger brother's career was tragically cut short.
But that's the reason I am here tonight.
We have a saying in our family.
It's that the show must go on.
And so I have one question for everybody here tonight.
Who wants to walk with Elias?
[crowd cheering]
Now, listen, normally I would come out here,
I'd start playing a song on the guitar, do that,
but I wanted to do something special for Oklahoma City tonight.
[crowd cheers]
So I've written a song.
This one, it's straight from the heart, straight from my soul,
and I wanted to play it on the keys,
but I get a little emotional doing this one.
So I just ask that you silence your cell phones
and hold your applause until after I'm done.
I don't want to get choked up, but… here I go.
♪ Bro ♪
[Corey] I've never been so happy to see Matt Riddle in my entire life.
-["We Up" plays] -[Patrick] Come on.
[Corey] And this goof has bongos?
Looking to have a jam session here?
[Patrick] Everyone was about to walk with Elias.
[Corey] I was about to say Matt Riddle did us all a massive favor,
but I feel like The Original Bro might just be putting fuel on the fire.
The super group nobody asked for.
Bro.
Hey, listen, dude.
Look, it's great to see you, Matt.
It's… it's my big night, my big return,
and you want to interrupt me on my first night back?
I mean, God.
Hey, bro. I'm not here to interrupt you.
You know, I know I got a big United States Championship match coming,
but, dude, I wanted to tell you,
I'm a huge a Elias fan, bro.
-You freaking rock, bro. -Thanks, dude. Thank you.
Yeah! And when Zeke was around, dude,
I would get so Zeke'd up, bro.
It was crazy, bro!
Yeah! I even brought my bongos.
-You want to hit my bong? -Oh!
[crowd laughs]
[Corey] I think that's what you call a singular bongo.
Yeah! Do it, dude.
[laughs] That's… that's not really my thing but it's a great…
Oh! Okay, okay. Okay.
I know! I know.
And everybody in the WWE Universe knows
that there's one truth
and that WWE means
[singing to tune of "Seven Nation Army"] ♪ Oh, walk with Elias ♪
-Everybody. -[Patrick] Come on, Graves.
♪ Oh, walk with Elias ♪
[crowd singing] ♪ Oh, walk with Elias ♪
[Corey] I got major beef with Jack White for inventing that rhythm.
Thank you. [laughs]
All right. Listen.
It's good.
-Look, thank you. -It's good.
-It gets the people going, bro. Yeah! -Yeah, I know.
It's great. Listen, man, I appreciate it.
I appreciate you being a fan. I appreciate all my fans, really.
Now, listen, listen.
You came out here.
Man, now you got a big match coming up next.
So I'll tell you what? How about you take a front row seat.
Just sit right here with your bongos.
I got a special song for Oklahoma City.
It's going to put everybody in a great mood.
Why don't you take a seat?
We're gonna have a good time. I'm going to play this song.
Hey, do you think one day maybe we could play together?
-Hey. -[crowd cheering]
[Riddle] Yeah!
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
I promise you right now
in front of the entire world,
one day, me and you will play together.
-Yes! Yeah! -[crowd cheering]
You're the best, bro.
All right. Take a seat.
Thank you. I'll take my seat.
Hey, if you need anything, bro, anything,
I'm right here. Don't hesitate.
Appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
All right, everybody.
[playing poignant melody]
♪ Burn it down ♪
-["Visionary" plays] -[Corey] Halle-freaking-lujah.
[Patrick] Just as he was about to start singing.
[Seth yelling indistinctly]
[crowd singing] ♪ Whoa, oh, oh ♪
[Corey] Now, this… this is music!
[Patrick] They're on their feet for Seth Rollins.
-As he makes his way to the ring. -[indistinct]
[Patrick] Folks, we are moments ahead of this.
A United States Championship match.
Seth Rollins will look to retain
for the very first time when he takes on an old enemy of his.
It's Matt Riddle. And it's coming up on Raw
from Oklahoma City.
-That's a real song right there. -[Patrick] Next.
That's a real song.
[Patrick] As always, folks,
head across to Peacock once Raw is over.
And check out Raw Talk with Jackie Redmond and Matt Camp.
And look at the line of guests today,
star-studded show.
Baron Corbin, Elias on his return,
and of course, Damage CTRL.
Your favorites, Graves.
[Corey] I can't wait to hear from Baron Corbin.
We witnessed the emergence of a future wrestling god.
[Patrick] Meanwhile, here in Oklahoma City,
we're about to witness
-a United States Championship match. -[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the United States Championship!
[crowd cheers]
Introducing the challenger,
weighing in at 216 pounds,
"The Original Bro"
Matt Riddle!
[crowd cheers]
And his opponent,
from Davenport, Iowa,
weighing in at 225 pounds,
he is the United States Champion,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
[crowd cheering and booing]
[Corey] A confident grin on the face of the champion.
A determined look in the eyes of the challenger.
These two no strangers to one another.
But tonight, it is all about the United States Championship.
[Patrick] Harley Race, the inaugural winner back in 1975,
this a championship that has helped shape
the career of over 20 Hall of Famers,
names like Flair, Austin, and Cena.
And now, it's Seth Rollins hoping to defend
just one week after defeating Bobby Lashley.
-[Corey] No! -[Patrick] Riddle has the triangle!
This is how he defeated Rollins at EXTREME RULES.
He made him tap!
[Corey] Well, luckily we're not inside the Fight Pit.
Rollins able to force the break using the bottom rope.
-Keep him back, keep him back. -[crowd boos]
[Corey] But Riddle came out of the gates at the opening bell
-like he was shot out of a cannon. -What are you doing out here?
[Patrick] Just nine days ago, Riddle…
This doesn't involve you.
[inaudible conversation]
Get out of my way. Get out of my way.
[Patrick] "Get out of my way." The words of Rollins.
[Corey] And I am curious why Elias is allowed to be out here at ringside.
He doesn't have a managerial license as far as I know.
[Patrick] Wasn't he rudely interrupted moments ago before our commercial break?
[Corey] Yeah, by The Original Bro.
[Patrick] He still hasn't left ringside. That's something.
[crowd boos]
A reminder that nine days ago,
Rollins was defeated by Matt Riddle inside the Fight Pit.
[crowd boos]
[Corey] Obviously, Rollins was a little overzealous…
Get him back!
…at the opening bell, got caught by the challenger.
And this is Rollins restrategizing.
It's why Seth Rollins has been called The Architect for years.
Cerebrally, one of the best competitors to ever do it.
[Rollins grunting]
[Patrick] Kick to the midsection. Look at Riddle going early. Oh!
One! Two!
[Corey] The Original Bro now teeing off of the champ in the corner!
And again, Rollins wisely
rolling to the outside to recompose himself.
[Patrick] Oh, Riddle around the bend!
Catching Rollins with an elbow.
Back inside the squared circle goes Rollins.
Riddle close behind.
[both grunting]
[Corey] Riddle with a gut wrench.
Deceptively powerful is Matt Riddle, the challenger tonight,
who's done a great job of keeping Rollins from getting out of the gates.
Spoke a moment too soon.
A well-placed chop to the throat.
And it is all Rollins right now.
[Patrick] Let's not forget just how volatile this rivalry has been,
abusing each other.
Their families have come into this as well.
This has gotten really ugly over the past couple of months
between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle.
[Corey] I think this is simply an issue with Matt Riddle.
This is a one-sided rivalry at this point.
Seth Rollins has moved on. No hard feelings.
On to bigger and better things like being the United States champion.
That's what Seth Rollins is concerned about.
[Patrick] Seth Rollins saying earlier it was a strategic move
tapping out against Matt Riddle
with eyes firmly fixed on Bobby Lashley
and the United States Championship just last week.
[Corey] And obviously, the strategy worked because Seth Rollins is now
the United States Champion.
Had he spent too much time in a triangle,
who knows if Rollins would have been in any shape to compete?
[Patrick] Cover for the win and to retain.
Riddle kicks out.
Nine hundred and fifty-two days was the number we mentioned earlier, Graves,
Rollins without a championship in WWE.
[Corey] That's about the same amount of time
that Saxton's gone without a date. Okay? We don't need to drum that up.
It's just in the past.
[all exclaiming]
Do you like that, Riddle? You like that, huh?
-You think you're in my league? -Two! Three!
Come on. Watch the face, Seth.
Come on, watch the face.
[Patrick] Referee Chad Patton separating the two.
Rollins goes back for more. Riddle catches him!
[Corey] Outside to the floor, hard landing for the champion.
-The Original Bro now! -[Patrick] Oh!
[Corey] Rollins avoiding disaster,
no doubt.
[indistinct conversation]
Riddle said he looked for a Floating Bro.
Elias still having words here at ringside.
You think it's funny, huh?
-You think it's funny, huh? -[crowd gasping]
Keep him back. Keep him back!
-[all exclaiming] -[Corey] Oh, no!
[Patrick] The referee looked away.
Well, Elias… has flattened Rollins!
[Patrick] You're witnessing a United States Championship match
live from Oklahoma City. It's Monday Night Raw.
The champ, Seth Rollins, against Matt Riddle.
-[Corey] Oh! -It's been end-to-end.
[Patrick] And Riddle has had a little assistance.
Cover here. Rollins to retain! Riddle kicks out.
Now, before the break, Elias watching on from ringside.
He was perhaps rudely interrupted by Seth Rollins before this match.
And as the referee looks away, Corey Graves, this happened.
[Corey] Listen. Elias has zero business out here to begin with,
then physically interjecting himself
into Seth's title defense,
much to the thrill of Matt Riddle.
And now we see Seth Rollins
double stomp the soul out of Riddle's body
and nearly end the match.
Elias is out here taking issue with the fact
that I don't believe he has business out here.
He was physically provoked, I will give him that,
but if he wasn't there to begin with, he wouldn't have provoked him.
Well, if I could have done my performance, it would have been fine.
Fair. He just wants to perform. Just let the man sing.
[Patrick] A little pent-up anger from Elias,
returning to Monday Night Raw tonight.
Here comes Matt Riddle,
elbow to the jaw of Rollins.
And he wants more, punishing Rollins now!
[Corey] An elbow right to the neck of the challenger!
Big suplex from Riddle!
[crowd applauds]
Riddle wanted the Broton. Rollins got the knees up just in time!
[Patrick] Savvy maneuver from the United States Champion,
Seth Rollins.
Riddle climbing now.
Perhaps looking for a Floating Bro, taking out Rollins.
[Corey] Uh-oh.
[Patrick] For the win, for the championship!
[Corey] Less than half a second away from a new United States champion.
This is a title that Matt Riddle has held in the past.
Seth Rollins would be devastated
to lose his United States title in his very first defense.
That is humiliating.
As we look again at Matt Riddle
propelling himself through the skies of OKC.
Floating Bro right on point,
but not enough to keep down Rollins.
[Patrick] Nine days removed from the Fight Pit at EXTREME RULES.
These two go at it again for the United States Championship.
[Corey] Uh-oh! Beautiful transition!
Looking for the pedigree.
[Patrick] Rollins, looking to end it now!
-At two Riddle is… -[Corey] Ooh! Rocks the jaw.
[Rollins grunting]
[Corey] Rollins was looking for another elbow to the base of the skull.
[Patrick] Knee to the jaw.
And that certainly rocked Rollins. Collected now by Riddle.
Will that be it?
Is the Championship going to change hands?
Bro Derek landed,
but could not finish the job for the challenger, Matt Riddle,
as Elias looks on.
Don't stop now!
[Patrick] Encouraging Riddle from ringside.
[crowd chants] Bro! Bro! Bro!
Look at this forearm by Seth Rollins earlier on.
[Corey] Stopped Riddle dead in his tracks for the moment,
but as Rollins wanted the second,
Riddle was a step ahead,
able to avoid and then, pow!
Ripcord knee right to the face of the champion.
[Patrick] It's been another pulsating night here on Monday Night Raw.
What a way to end the night,
the main event for the United States Championship.
Riddle on top! Caught by Rollins.
[Corey] Matt Riddle wasting a little too much time
pandering to the WWE Universe.
And now, Rollins making the climb toward the top.
Precarious position for both of these athletes.
Oh my God!
-[crowd exclaiming] -[Patrick] Oh! Oh!
-[all gasping] -[Corey] Yikes.
[Corey] Rollins rolls through.
[Patrick] Is this it? Cover. Rollins, to retain!
Riddle kicks out somehow.
[Corey] And that's a testament to the toughness and the guts
of the challenger, Matt Riddle.
Even a look of disbelief
washing over the face of Elias at ringside.
I think even Elias thought this one was over.
[Patrick] We are in Oklahoma City
at the Paycom Center for this massive United States Championship match.
The challenger, Matt Riddle,
coming close in several occasions against the champ,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins,
who I thought was about to finish it here, Graves.
You and I both, KP.
-Rollins landing a double shot. -[crowd] One! Two!
First from the top, then driving Riddle down.
Now, Seth "Freakin" Rollins
making the climb to the top turnbuckle
with the challenger in his sights.
[Patrick] Looking to feast on his prey.
Eyeing up the prize, Rollins frog splash!
-Riddle gets the legs up. -[Corey] Triangle!
-[Patrick] He's caught again. -[Corey] The triangle is in!
[Patrick] Is this it?
[crowd cheers]
[Corey] Raining down elbows.
[Patrick] Look at the strength of Rollins. Are you kidding me?
How did he do that?
[Corey] But it didn't break the grip!
-It didn't break Riddle's triangle! -[Riddle roaring]
[Patrick] The leg strength on show from Riddle,
he still has it locked in.
[Corey] A second. Oh, my word.
Rollins rampage…
[both grunting]
…but Riddle is still refusing to relinquish.
Sit out powerbomb!
That's got to do it.
[Patrick] Seth Rollins-- Oh, no.
-[crowd cheers] -[Corey] And Riddle…
[Patrick] How?
[Riddle grunting]
[Patrick] He hasn't given an inch here, Matt Riddle.
[Corey] That triangle is cinched in deep.
[Patrick] But will Rollins tap again?
He tapped at EXTREME RULES.
[Corey] If Rollins taps tonight, he loses the title!
[Patrick] Rollins' leg up on the rope.
[Corey] And Rollins a desperate, desperate Champion.
-[wheezing] -[Patrick] The gasp of breath.
You can understand it.
[groans]
[Corey] And Rollins in a bad, bad way.
If you're Seth, this is not the side of the ring you want to roll out to.
[wheezing]
[crowd cheers]
Look how red Rollins' face is.
His veins are bulging out of his forehead.
[crowd cheers]
Hit me.
Hit me!
-[Corey] Rollins wants-- -[all exclaiming]
[Corey] Rollins wanted Elias to hit him
because that would force a disqualification.
[Patrick] He didn't do it, though! Elias didn't hit him!
Riddle did, though!
Is this the moment?
Rollins pushed back inside the ring.
-Caught by Riddle. -[Corey] Uh-oh.
[crowd cheers]
-[Corey] Oh, no! -[Patrick] Yeah, he's going there.
[Corey] The Original Bro paying homage.
[Patrick] A nod to Randy Orton.
[crowd cheers]
He can't delay. This is his moment to strike.
[Corey] Oklahoma City is rocking for the challenger
who's going to that place,
that dark, sadistic place!
-[Patrick] Looking for the RK-- -[Corey] Oh, Elias. What--
-He's set up to be stomped! -Stomped!
[Patrick] Stomped! Rollins! Rollins to retain!
-Rollins to retain. -[crowd] One! Two! Three!
[bell rings]
-["The Visionary" plays] -[crowd booing]
[announcer] Here's your winner…
[Corey] And a stomp for Elias too.
[crowd booing]
[Patrick] Bodies are everywhere.
Seth Rollins is still United States champion.
[crowd sings] ♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪
[Corey] Seth Rollins goaded Elias.
Attempted to goad Elias into striking him.
Elias refused.
Rollins would shift focus
and Elias' temper got the best of him.
Elias may have just cost Matt Riddle the United States title.
-[bell rings] -[Patrick] And then, for good measure,
Seth Rollins would pick himself up
and stomp Elias!
On his return to Raw, like you say,
Elias may have cost Matt Riddle.
Seth Rollins, he won't care.
-[Corey] Oh, no. -[Patrick] He sti-- Oh, no.
[Patrick] Oh, no.
[Corey] Rollins is going to end this once and for all.
Oh, Mustafa Ali!
-[crowd cheers] -[Patrick] Where did he come from?
[Corey] Ali promised to be Rollins' new problem.
[all exclaiming]
[Corey] And Ali…
[Patrick] Oh! against the announce desk.
He certainly is the problem as of right now!
[Corey] What-- Oh!
Ali delivering on his promise
to be a disruptor, a new problem
for the United States champion.
[Mustafa] Where you going?
[Patrick] Seth Rollins has enemies coming from every angle.
[crowd cheers]
Yet, he's still United States champion.
I'm a problem.
I am your problem!
Do you see that, huh?
Do you see that?
-[indistinct conversation] -[Patrick] Rollins retains.
Do you see that, you coward? Patrick] Rollins retains.
