[Kevin] No time to prepare
for Kevin Owens.

175
00:09:38,766 --> 00:09:43,866
This is a championship match
coming your way here on Monday Night Raw.

176
00:09:43,933 --> 00:09:46,933
-Five-hundred-and-five days as champion.
-[bell rings]

177
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,500
The Usos now go up
against KO and Matt Riddle.

178
00:09:50,566 --> 00:09:53,666
[Corey] Off the opening bell, Owens
able to block Jey's Superkick attempt,

179
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:57,333
and KO teeing off
on one half of the champions.

180
00:09:58,466 --> 00:10:01,666
[Kevin] Kevin Owens, all we have to do
is go back to Monday Night Raw

181
00:10:01,733 --> 00:10:05,600
and how it ended.
KO with a magnificent victory.

182
00:10:05,666 --> 00:10:07,866
Oh, look at that Senton on Uso!

183
00:10:07,933 --> 00:10:09,666
[Corey] Tremendous impact. Into the cover!

184
00:10:09,733 --> 00:10:12,866
[Kevin] For the victory early… Kick out.

185
00:10:12,933 --> 00:10:14,966
[Corey] And Jey Uso
certainly hasn't forgotten

186
00:10:15,033 --> 00:10:16,866
last week here on Monday Night Raw.

187
00:10:16,933 --> 00:10:21,400
Owens arguably still riding high
on the wave of momentum post WarGames.

188
00:10:21,466 --> 00:10:22,666
[wrestlers grunting]

189
00:10:22,733 --> 00:10:24,333
[Corey] Owens stepping up to the plate,

190
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,500
and could walk out of our nation's capital

191
00:10:26,566 --> 00:10:29,833
as one half of the Undisputed
Tag Team Champions!

192
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:32,100
-Clear the deck!
-[wrestlers grunting]

193
00:10:32,166 --> 00:10:33,866
[Kevin] You got a valid point here, Corey.

194
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:37,233
The Usos weren't exactly
preparing to face Kevin Owens, were they?

195
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:39,433
[Corey] Absolutely not!

196
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,866
Owens, flattening Jey.

197
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:44,833
[Kevin] Is The Usos' reign in peril?

198
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,500
-[wrestlers grunting]
-[crowd cheering]

199
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:50,699
[Owens yells]

200
00:10:50,766 --> 00:10:53,000
[Corey] Can the champs
get back in this title match?

201
00:10:53,066 --> 00:10:54,133
What're you looking at?

202
00:10:57,699 --> 00:10:59,933
[Corey] We're only
seconds away from the new champions!

203
00:11:00,066 --> 00:11:02,466
[Kevin] Kevin Owens hooks
the legs! Kick out by Uso.

204
00:11:02,533 --> 00:11:05,766
Jimmy Uso, just about alive.
Welcome back, folks.

205
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:08,000
From the Capitol One Arena
in Washington, D.C.,

206
00:11:08,066 --> 00:11:11,366
you're witnessing an Undisputed
Tag Team Championship match,

207
00:11:11,433 --> 00:11:14,866
The Usos, a record 505 days as champions,

208
00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:16,199
and this just happened.

209
00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:17,966
Cannonball by KO!

210
00:11:18,033 --> 00:11:21,033
[Corey] Kevin Owens stepping up.
Moonsault at the top of your screen

211
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:23,699
onto Jimmy Uso!
Owens, again into the cover!

212
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:25,666
[Kevin] Kick out early.

213
00:11:25,733 --> 00:11:29,533
[Corey] The Bloodline were able to take
Elias out of this tag team equation,

214
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,233
leaving Riddle without a partner,

215
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,900
to which Kevin Owens proudly stepped up,

216
00:11:33,966 --> 00:11:36,199
looking to dethrone The Usos.

217
00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:37,966
[Kevin] Tag made, in comes Riddle.

218
00:11:38,033 --> 00:11:39,066
[wrestlers grunting]

219
00:11:39,133 --> 00:11:42,500
[Kevin] No doubt a furious competitor now,
no Elias by his side.

220
00:11:42,566 --> 00:11:45,966
[Corey] And almost since the opening bell,
The Usos have been unable to thwart

221
00:11:46,033 --> 00:11:48,066
the offensive onslaught of Riddle and--

222
00:11:48,133 --> 00:11:49,833
-[Kevin] Oh, look at this!
-There we go.

223
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:52,800
-Jey Uso--
-[Corey] Just takes one second.

224
00:11:53,699 --> 00:11:57,199
[Kevin] The referee looking away,
and Jey Uso has his say,

225
00:11:57,266 --> 00:11:58,533
taking out Riddle.

226
00:11:59,733 --> 00:12:01,033
Tag made.

227
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:05,500
-Usos going to work on Matt Riddle.
-[Riddle screams]

228
00:12:05,566 --> 00:12:08,133
[Corey] No shortage of history
between Matt Riddle and The Usos.

229
00:12:08,199 --> 00:12:10,566
And we looked, moments ago,
how the tides turned!

230
00:12:10,633 --> 00:12:14,266
Jeu Uso from the outside,
unbeknownst to the official.

231
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,733
And now, The Usos in complete control.

232
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,066
Jimmy and Jey,
taking great pride and enjoyment

233
00:12:20,133 --> 00:12:23,533
in stomping the life out of Matt Riddle.

234
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,566
Who could forget
the classic encounter Matt Riddle had

235
00:12:26,633 --> 00:12:30,733
with the "Head of the Table" Roman Reigns
several months ago.

236
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,933
[Kevin] And even before that, back in May,
The Usos taking out Randy Orton…

237
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,699
-[wrestlers grunting]
-…tag partner with Riddle on RK-Bro,

238
00:12:37,766 --> 00:12:41,533
in the same way, in a similar way
that he took out Elias.

239
00:12:41,599 --> 00:12:43,000
[Corey] If you are just tuning in,

240
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:47,099
The Usos' historic
WWE Undisputed Tag Team Title reign

241
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:48,900
on the line tonight.

242
00:12:50,733 --> 00:12:56,133
Jimmy and Jey have been champions
for 505 days and counting,

243
00:12:56,199 --> 00:13:00,500
as we look once again
at the flawless teamwork of The Usos.

244
00:13:00,566 --> 00:13:03,500
And that, to me, is what's
going to make all the difference.

245
00:13:03,566 --> 00:13:05,933
As Jimmy Uso
makes the climb to the top rope,

246
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,866
backbreaker by Jey.

247
00:13:07,933 --> 00:13:10,199
[Kevin] Usos going to work,
Jimmy takes out Riddle!

248
00:13:11,633 --> 00:13:15,099
Cover, once more to retain--
Riddle kicks out.

249
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:18,000
[Corey] Understandably, The Usos
thrown off their game slightly

250
00:13:18,066 --> 00:13:20,533
by the arrival and appearance
of Kevin Owens.

251
00:13:20,599 --> 00:13:24,033
The Usos were preparing for Elias
as Matt Riddle's tag team partner,

252
00:13:24,099 --> 00:13:27,533
but it all ultimately comes down
to tag team chemistry,

253
00:13:27,599 --> 00:13:30,000
and The Usos, unmatched.

254
00:13:30,066 --> 00:13:34,166
Owens and Riddle, fantastic
tag team competitors in the past,

255
00:13:34,233 --> 00:13:36,366
but not alongside one another.

256
00:13:36,433 --> 00:13:38,000
And that's what it all boils down to.

257
00:13:38,066 --> 00:13:41,833
[Kevin] Riddle saying earlier on,
"We're not bros," when speaking about KO.

258
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:45,199
Look at that! Jimmy Uso,
what a devastating dig to Riddle!

259
00:13:45,266 --> 00:13:49,099
[Corey] The uppercut nearly
turned The Original Bro's lights out.

260
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:52,033
And you can't discount
the value of "The Honorary Uce"

261
00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:55,033
Sami Zayn, at ringside,
as well as Solo Sikoa.

262
00:13:55,099 --> 00:13:59,433
Before Sami was an Honorary Uce,
he was known as The Master Strategist.

263
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:01,166
I assure you, Sami's watching everything

264
00:14:01,233 --> 00:14:03,500
like a great coach
on the sidelines right now.

265
00:14:04,233 --> 00:14:07,766
[Kevin] Riddle, now at pace
off the ropes, collected! Oh, my word!

266
00:14:07,833 --> 00:14:10,366
Tag team action by The Usos!

267
00:14:10,433 --> 00:14:14,233
And they are on a roll.
Hook of the leg to put away Riddle and KO!

268
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,466
Kick out by Riddle.

269
00:14:16,533 --> 00:14:20,300
[Corey] This is where The Usos
can slip back into their comfort zone.

270
00:14:20,366 --> 00:14:23,866
They've cut the ring in half,
isolated Matt Riddle from Kevin Owens.

271
00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:27,233
And this is where
Jimmy and Jey do their work.

272
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,833
[Sami] All day, all day, all day!

273
00:14:30,866 --> 00:14:32,400
[Kevin] We did receive breaking news.

274
00:14:32,466 --> 00:14:34,900
The winner of this match,
the Tag Team Champions,

275
00:14:34,966 --> 00:14:36,833
will face Sheamus and Butch

276
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,833
for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles
on Friday Night SmackDown.

277
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:43,500
Drew McIntyre,
medically disqualified for that match.

278
00:14:43,566 --> 00:14:46,099
[Corey] No rest for the weary,
no matter who wins this matchup,

279
00:14:46,166 --> 00:14:49,433
no matter who leaves
Washington, D.C. as Tag Team Champions!

280
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,800
It's gonna be The Usos! That's gotta--

281
00:14:51,866 --> 00:14:54,833
[Kevin] Is this the moment
for Jey Uso and The Usos?

282
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:57,866
Kick out by Riddle!
Riddle and KO are still alive.

283
00:14:57,933 --> 00:15:00,266
-[indistinct chatter]
-[crowd cheering]

284
00:15:04,066 --> 00:15:06,599
[Kevin] It's an electric match
here in Washington, D.C.

285
00:15:06,666 --> 00:15:09,333
The Undisputed Tag Team
Championships on the line.

286
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,900
A record-setting 505 days.

287
00:15:11,966 --> 00:15:13,900
But is this to be it for The Usos?

288
00:15:13,966 --> 00:15:17,699
[Corey] Here comes "The Prizefighter",
Owens, from the top rope!

289
00:15:17,766 --> 00:15:19,533
[commentators] Swanton Bomb!

290
00:15:19,599 --> 00:15:22,333
-[Corey] That might do it!
-[Kevin] All over Jimmy Uso on the cover

291
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,666
for the victory and the titles!

292
00:15:23,733 --> 00:15:25,300
Kickout by Jimmy.

293
00:15:26,366 --> 00:15:29,833
[Corey] Remember, The Usos
were not prepared for the threat

294
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:31,400
that is Kevin Owens tonight.

295
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:35,300
[Kevin] Kevin Owens
taking out Jey Uso last week,

296
00:15:35,366 --> 00:15:37,533
and now he's back for more
with The Bloodline.

297
00:15:37,599 --> 00:15:41,133
[Corey] The Usos in danger of having
their record-setting title reign

298
00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:44,266
go up in smoke at the hands of Owens!

299
00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:47,000
-Stunner!
-[Kevin] Doesn't quite pull it off.

300
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:49,866
Catches… Oh!

301
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,599
Kick to the face of Jimmy Uso!

302
00:15:53,666 --> 00:15:55,699
[Corey] Oh, and wants
the Pop-Up Powerbomb!

303
00:15:55,766 --> 00:15:57,199
-Jimmy had it scouted!
-[Kevin] Oh!

304
00:15:57,266 --> 00:15:59,366
[Corey] And kicks the taste
out of Kevin's mouth.

305
00:15:59,433 --> 00:16:02,033
[banging on mat nearby]

306
00:16:02,099 --> 00:16:07,099
[Kevin] KO is seeing stars, Matt Riddle
wants in, Sami Zayn can barely watch.

307
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:08,400
[Corey] Take a look at this.

308
00:16:08,466 --> 00:16:11,066
Owens wanted to end this,
looking for the home run shot.

309
00:16:11,133 --> 00:16:16,199
Jimmy Uso had it scouted and shut
KO's lights out with a Superkick.

310
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:18,566
Now, it's Jimmy Uso
who desperately needs the…

311
00:16:18,633 --> 00:16:20,400
-[Kevin] Tag made!
-Here comes Riddle!

312
00:16:20,466 --> 00:16:21,533
Here comes Jey Uso!

313
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:24,300
[Kevin] Oh!

314
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,199
Riddle connects with Jey, the kick will--

315
00:16:27,266 --> 00:16:30,066
[Corey] Jey answers
with a kick to the guts! Oh!

316
00:16:31,833 --> 00:16:32,766
[Kevin] Jey, now…

317
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:37,066
Riddle taking out Jey Uso, on the outside!

318
00:16:38,099 --> 00:16:40,366
[Corey] Jey Uso launched
to the outside of the ring

319
00:16:40,433 --> 00:16:43,733
at the feet of Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa.

320
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,733
Uh-oh.

321
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800
[referee] Solo, back it up.
You're not part of the match. Back off!

322
00:16:47,866 --> 00:16:50,800
[Corey] The enforcer
of The Bloodline doing his job!

323
00:16:50,866 --> 00:16:53,266
Riddle just took out Solo!

324
00:16:53,333 --> 00:16:56,366
O! Jey rocks KO again!

325
00:16:56,433 --> 00:16:59,500
[Kevin] What are we seeing here?
It's absolute madness ringside!

326
00:16:59,566 --> 00:17:02,033
Riddle now just chucking
Jey Uso back inside.

327
00:17:02,099 --> 00:17:03,866
[indistinct shouting]

328
00:17:03,933 --> 00:17:06,300
[Corey] Riddle was
paying attention to Sami Zayn.

329
00:17:06,366 --> 00:17:07,800
Meanwhile, The Usos made a tag.

330
00:17:07,866 --> 00:17:11,399
Jimmy Uso, the legal competitor,
unbeknownst to Riddle.

331
00:17:11,466 --> 00:17:13,133
Jimmy smelled danger, back inside.

332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,766
Superkick to the face of Riddle.

333
00:17:15,633 --> 00:17:18,000
-Oh! They've nailed it!
-[Corey] 3D!

334
00:17:18,066 --> 00:17:19,266
They've nailed it!

335
00:17:19,333 --> 00:17:21,133
-Cover, to retain…
-[crowd] One, two,

336
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,433
-three!
-They've done it!

337
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:24,899
-[bell rings]
-["Done With That" playing]

338
00:17:24,966 --> 00:17:27,833
[announcer] Here are your winners,
and still

339
00:17:27,899 --> 00:17:33,399
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions,

340
00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:36,866
The Usos!

341
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:38,233
[Corey] As you would imagine,

342
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:42,466
Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle
put up a hell of a fight tonight.

343
00:17:42,533 --> 00:17:47,133
Riddle, risking it all.
Sami Zayn would actually help

344
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Jey Uso out of harm's way!

345
00:17:50,566 --> 00:17:54,166
As Riddle dunked Jey back in the ring,
Sami drew Riddle's attention.

346
00:17:54,233 --> 00:17:59,300
The tag is made,
classic textbook Uso strategy.

347
00:17:59,366 --> 00:18:02,100
One and done!

348
00:18:02,166 --> 00:18:06,233
Thanks for coming. Thanks for
stepping up to the plate, Matt Riddle.

349
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:09,866
But the result remains
the same for The Bloodline.

350
00:18:09,933 --> 00:18:12,833
-And still…
-[Kevin] Oh, wait, hang on a second.

351
00:18:12,899 --> 00:18:13,966
They want more.

352
00:18:14,033 --> 00:18:16,133
They're kicking off here on Matt Riddle.

353
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,633
He's left lifeless in the ring.

354
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,833
[Corey] Obviously,
The Bloodline's taken offense to the--

355
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:23,433
[Kevin] Here's Kevin Owens!
Chair to Jimmy!

356
00:18:24,966 --> 00:18:29,166
[Corey] KO with the equalizer,
running off the champions.

357
00:18:30,333 --> 00:18:32,666
[Kevin] KO is not backing down
from anybody.

358
00:18:32,733 --> 00:18:35,600
-Up the ramp he goes.
-[Corey] Oh, he's like a man possessed,

359
00:18:35,666 --> 00:18:37,866
swinging for anything that moves!

360
00:18:38,733 --> 00:18:41,466
-Oh, but, wait a second.
-[Kevin] It's the enforcer.

361
00:18:41,533 --> 00:18:43,600
[Corey] Solo Sikoa now,

362
00:18:43,666 --> 00:18:46,833
-doing the dirty work of The Bloodline.
-[wrestlers grunting]

363
00:18:46,899 --> 00:18:51,666
KO nowhere to be seen, and Solo
is doing some serious damage on Riddle!

364
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,666
[crowd booing]

365
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000
[Corey] Uh-oh. Oh, no.

366
00:19:01,633 --> 00:19:02,866
Solo Sikoa…

367
00:19:03,566 --> 00:19:04,866
[yells]

368
00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:08,233
[Corey] The Samoan Spike
to the throat of Matt Riddle!

369
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:10,066
[yells]

370
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:15,800
[Corey] The enforcer has been
unleashed on The Original Bro.

371
00:19:15,866 --> 00:19:18,266
Solo Sikoa backing it up.

372
00:19:18,333 --> 00:19:19,600
[Kevin] Oh, my word!

373
00:19:20,899 --> 00:19:22,066
Riddle needs help.

374
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:26,833
Solo Sikoa now the man possessed.

375
00:19:30,333 --> 00:19:33,433
[Corey] This is about
teaching The Original Bro

376
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:36,766
a lesson on behalf
of the entire Bloodline.

377
00:19:41,766 --> 00:19:43,266
[Kevin] Riddle can only watch on.

378
00:19:44,633 --> 00:19:45,833
[Sikoa grunts]

379
00:19:48,733 --> 00:19:50,600
[Corey] Oh, no. Solo…

380
00:19:56,033 --> 00:19:59,233
Solo Sikoa is out of control.

381
00:20:06,433 --> 00:20:09,433
-Don't do this, Solo. Don't do this!
-[yelling]

382
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:11,733
[Kevin] No, don't do it! Oh!

383
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,866
-[Corey] Get some help out here.
-[yelling]

384
00:20:13,933 --> 00:20:15,133
[Kevin] Where's security?

385
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,466
[crowd booing]

386
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,766
[Riddle groaning]

387
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,866
[Corey] The Street Champ…

388
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:27,000
leaving a mark.

389
00:20:28,433 --> 00:20:32,399
Possible long-term damage to Matt Riddle.

390
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:38,433
[Kevin] Not for the first time tonight,
Solo Sikoa making a ruthless statement,

391
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:40,533
taking out Elias.

392
00:20:41,966 --> 00:20:44,399
-And now, Riddle.
-[Corey] First Elias, now Matt Riddle.

393
00:20:44,466 --> 00:20:45,700
Look at this impact.

394
00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:48,266
A full head of steam,

395
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:51,633
backing it up onto the steel chair

396
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:53,966
wrapped around Riddle's face and neck.

397
00:20:54,033 --> 00:20:55,899
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Riddle groaning]

398
00:20:55,966 --> 00:20:59,000
[Corey] We've got some officials
out here to tend to The Original Bro.

399
00:20:59,066 --> 00:21:00,600
Riddle is hurt bad.

400
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,933
Ice cold. Solo Sikoa.

401
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,700
-[Riddle groaning]
-[Corey] Remorseless.

402
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:16,466
[Kevin] Expressionless look
on the enforcer.

403
00:21:16,533 --> 00:21:20,633
[Corey] Solo doing what
he was brought to WWE to do,

404
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,133
to enforce on behalf
of the Head of the Table,

405
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,899
on behalf of the entire Bloodline.

406
00:21:26,966 --> 00:21:28,233
[Riddle continues groaning]

407
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,433
[Corey] As Matt Riddle
finding out firsthand…

408
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:32,300
[indistinct chatter]

409
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,300
[Kevin] Well, folks,
the path to Bianca Belair

410
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:43,800
and the Raw Women's Championship
has been laid out,

411
00:21:43,866 --> 00:21:48,100
and it's a treacherous journey ahead
for six former Raw Women's Champions.

412
00:21:48,166 --> 00:21:52,233
We're gonna see a Triple Threat.
Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and Nikki Cross.

413
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,633
But that's just
one of our Triple Threat Matches, Corey.

414
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:56,566
[Corey] Six former Raw Women's Champions.

415
00:21:56,633 --> 00:21:59,700
You mentioned those three, and then,
our second Triple Threat of the night,

416
00:21:59,766 --> 00:22:01,700
"The Empress of Tomorrow" Asuka,

417
00:22:01,766 --> 00:22:06,000
Bayley, and "The Nightmare" Rhea Ripley,
of The Judgment Day

418
00:22:06,066 --> 00:22:08,399
will compete in our second Triple Threat.

419
00:22:08,466 --> 00:22:10,966
The winners of both matches
will compete next week

420
00:22:11,033 --> 00:22:13,766
on Monday Night Raw
to determine the next challenger,

421
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:17,300
to Bianca Belair's
Raw Women's Championship.

422
00:22:21,666 --> 00:22:23,000
You know…

423
00:22:23,066 --> 00:22:24,433
[crowd booing]

424
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,266
Bayley and Asuka, they're both credible.

425
00:22:27,333 --> 00:22:29,566
They've both been Women's Champion.

426
00:22:29,633 --> 00:22:32,399
They've both been Tag Team Champion.

427
00:22:32,466 --> 00:22:35,433
They're both
very, very good at what they do.

428
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,166
But you know what they're not?

429
00:22:39,433 --> 00:22:41,500
They're not Rhea-bloody-Ripley.

430
00:22:41,566 --> 00:22:43,466
-No. Not even close.
-[laughs] Nope.

431
00:22:43,533 --> 00:22:46,733
So, when I'm done with them tonight,
and they're laying in that ring,

432
00:22:46,833 --> 00:22:50,700
crying their little eyes out,
and I move on to Bianca Belair,

433
00:22:50,766 --> 00:22:53,100
for the Raw Women's Championship,

434
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,233
man, when I'm done with Bianca,

435
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,200
the whole Raw women's locker room,

436
00:22:59,266 --> 00:23:02,766
they're going to be calling me "Mommy."

437
00:23:02,833 --> 00:23:04,533
[laughter]

438
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,266
I like that. Oh, yeah.

439
00:23:07,333 --> 00:23:09,666
[whispering indistinctly]

440
00:23:11,466 --> 00:23:13,399
-Sick.
-Give me some.

441
00:23:13,466 --> 00:23:15,000
-Hell, yeah.
-[laughs]

442
00:23:15,066 --> 00:23:17,066
-Bye, guys.
-Mommy champ.

443
00:23:17,133 --> 00:23:18,700
-[laughs]
-[Dominik] Mommy champ.

444
00:23:19,466 --> 00:23:20,766
[Corey] No doubt about it.

445
00:23:20,833 --> 00:23:23,633
It's going to be a red hot night
in the Raw women's division.

446
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:26,899
How can you bet against Rhea Ripley
with the tear she's been on recently?

447
00:23:26,966 --> 00:23:30,200
Yeah, Rhea Ripley knows she's just
two victories away this week and next

448
00:23:30,266 --> 00:23:32,566
from facing Bianca Belair down the road.

449
00:23:32,633 --> 00:23:35,766
I still can't get over how
we kicked off Monday Night Raw tonight.

450
00:23:35,833 --> 00:23:38,433
We promised an Undisputed
Tag Team Championship match,

451
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,300
five-hundred-and-five-day reign.
Look at this. This is Sami Zayn

452
00:23:42,366 --> 00:23:44,466
saving Jey Uso.

453
00:23:44,533 --> 00:23:47,566
[Corey] It seems like a sight
we should have never seen.

454
00:23:47,633 --> 00:23:51,100
But after the results of WarGames
and a united Bloodline,

455
00:23:51,166 --> 00:23:55,266
including Sami Zayn and Jey Uso,
who were once at odds,

456
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:59,600
Sami would draw Riddle's attention
and allow Jey to tag Jimmy Uso,

457
00:23:59,666 --> 00:24:03,566
opening the door for the champions…

458
00:24:04,366 --> 00:24:05,666
Oh!

459
00:24:05,733 --> 00:24:08,533
…to overwhelm the challenger, Matt Riddle,

460
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,833
with the 1D, one and done.

461
00:24:11,899 --> 00:24:14,333
And still…

462
00:24:14,399 --> 00:24:17,433
-Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.
-[bell rings]

463
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:20,899
[Kevin] If you thought that's
where it ended, man, were you wrong.

464
00:24:20,966 --> 00:24:24,966
Look at this. KO chasing down
The Usos and Sami Zayn with a chair,

465
00:24:25,033 --> 00:24:27,466
leaving Matt Riddle alone in the ring

466
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:32,066
with the enforcer, Solo Sikoa,
who went to war on Matt Riddle.

467
00:24:32,133 --> 00:24:34,233
This was just
hard to watch at some points.

468
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:35,833
[Corey] The Street Champion delivering

469
00:24:35,899 --> 00:24:39,633
a little additional punishment
for Matt Riddle after a hell of a match.

470
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:43,833
Look at this. With a steel chair
wrapped around Riddle's head and neck,

471
00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:46,366
Solo delivering the exclamation point.

472
00:24:46,433 --> 00:24:50,066
Matt Riddle tended to
by emergency medical technicians.

473
00:24:50,133 --> 00:24:51,266
This was during the break.

474
00:24:51,333 --> 00:24:55,233
Riddle very carefully loaded onto
a stretcher and taken out of the arena.

475
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:58,600
We will do our best to keep you
posted on Matt Riddle's condition

476
00:24:58,666 --> 00:25:00,633
as we receive updates.

477
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,399
[Kevin] You have to worry about the safety

478
00:25:02,466 --> 00:25:05,366
and the well-being of Matt Riddle.
Again, similar scenes to what they did

479
00:25:05,433 --> 00:25:06,700
to Randy Orton back in May,

480
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:10,166
when they became
the Undisputed Tag Team Champions.

481
00:25:10,233 --> 00:25:12,233
Kevin, how about
we lighten the mood a little bit?

482
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:13,566
How about we have a little fun?

483
00:25:13,633 --> 00:25:16,066
It was an extremely intense
beginning to Monday Night Raw.

484
00:25:16,133 --> 00:25:18,333
-Let's play some games, shall we?
-We shall, indeed.

485
00:25:18,399 --> 00:25:20,399
Because the Hall of Famer, JBL,
is in the house.

486
00:25:20,466 --> 00:25:23,933
And as promised,
he's holding JBL's Poker Invitational.

487
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,833
[overlapping chatter]

488
00:25:38,266 --> 00:25:40,633
Ladies and gentlemen,

489
00:25:40,699 --> 00:25:44,000
welcome to the JBL Poker Invitational,

490
00:25:44,866 --> 00:25:46,800
an event that will
become as big a tradition

491
00:25:46,866 --> 00:25:49,000
as the Masters, the Olympics,

492
00:25:49,066 --> 00:25:52,733
as grand a spectacle as Wrestlemania.

493
00:25:53,666 --> 00:25:56,333
Now, I know a lot of you
don't see eye-to-eye.

494
00:25:56,399 --> 00:26:00,133
And, Tozawa, nobody likes you.

495
00:26:00,199 --> 00:26:03,066
-[laughter]
-[indistinct chatter]

496
00:26:03,133 --> 00:26:08,033
But poker is a gentleman
and gentle-woman's sport.

497
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,033
Especially in the high-stakes room.

498
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,399
The rules are simple. It is a dime ante.

499
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:15,266
Ten, 20k buys…

500
00:26:15,333 --> 00:26:17,733
[man] What is this?
Why do you have a purse?

501
00:26:20,033 --> 00:26:22,399
I assume you don't get mail
up at the Crystal Lake.

502
00:26:23,333 --> 00:26:25,500
But, Jason, it's an invitational.

503
00:26:26,366 --> 00:26:30,066
And I can guarantee you,
I did not invite you to you two--

504
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:32,933
You one-and-a-half.

505
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,533
-[laughter]
-[indistinct chatter]

506
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,500
And besides, you just
signed a WWE contract.

507
00:26:36,566 --> 00:26:38,966
I doubt you have
the 50-dime buy in to get in.

508
00:26:39,033 --> 00:26:42,300
So, why don't you just go stare
at somebody uncomfortably outside?

509
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,300
Show him. Show him what you got.

510
00:26:46,633 --> 00:26:48,666
[people cheering and chattering]

511
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:58,600
Welcome to the JBL Invitational.

512
00:26:58,666 --> 00:27:01,233
-Let's get this party started.
-Yes!

513
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:03,533
[cheering, chattering continues]

514
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:06,466
["Role Model" playing]

515
00:27:06,533 --> 00:27:09,100
[Kevin] Would you really
play poker against Dexter Lumis?

516
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:10,933
[Corey] Absolutely not.

517
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,533
JBL, on the other hand…

518
00:27:14,866 --> 00:27:17,366
Hard to find
a more trustworthy individual.

519
00:27:17,433 --> 00:27:20,466
So, we may be joined by one right now.

520
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:25,100
[bell rings]

521
00:27:25,166 --> 00:27:26,933
[announcer] The following contest

522
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,066
is a Triple Threat Match
scheduled for one fall.

523
00:27:30,133 --> 00:27:32,833
Introducing first,
from San Jose, California,

524
00:27:32,899 --> 00:27:34,866
representing Damage CTRL,

525
00:27:34,933 --> 00:27:37,633
Bayley!

526
00:27:37,699 --> 00:27:39,800
[Kevin] Bayley took
to social media earlier on today

527
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:43,233
to say, "Bianca,
you thought the war was over."

528
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:46,066
But Bayley gets another path
at Bianca Belair

529
00:27:46,133 --> 00:27:49,066
and the Raw Women's
Championship in tonight's Triple Threat.

530
00:27:49,133 --> 00:27:52,433
Win, and she's into the final
next week against the winner

531
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,800
of the later-to-come
Triple Threat Match here on Raw.

532
00:27:55,866 --> 00:27:58,633
[Corey] You have to imagine
Bayley is one of the favorites

533
00:27:58,699 --> 00:28:01,666
to emerge victorious
as the number-one contender

534
00:28:01,733 --> 00:28:03,199
coming out of next week.

535
00:28:03,266 --> 00:28:05,833
Sure, Bayley hasn't necessarily
had the greatest success rate

536
00:28:05,899 --> 00:28:08,866
against Bianca Belair in recent history.

537
00:28:08,933 --> 00:28:10,533
But this is Bayley we're talking about.

538
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,533
Bayley has been
at the top of the division,

539
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,066
a pillar, I dare say,

540
00:28:14,133 --> 00:28:16,300
-of the women's division…
-This is my night!

541
00:28:16,366 --> 00:28:18,333
…in WWE on both Raw and SmackDown
over the years.

542
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:20,433
Look at your future Women's Champion…

543
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:23,233
[Kevin] Bayley,
a Grand Slam Champion in WWE.

544
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:26,266
One of the most decorated Superstars
in the women's locker room

545
00:28:26,333 --> 00:28:28,699
-in the history of WWE.
-[Lynch] Hey, Bayley!

546
00:28:28,766 --> 00:28:30,933
-[Corey] Wait a minute. What?
-[Kevin] Who is this?

547
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,199
[Lunch] Hey, hey…

548
00:28:34,266 --> 00:28:36,166
[crowd cheering]

549
00:28:36,233 --> 00:28:37,800
Hey, old pal!

550
00:28:37,866 --> 00:28:41,000
-[Corey] It's The Man.
-I don't know if I can call ya pal anymore

551
00:28:41,066 --> 00:28:44,066
seeing as you and your cronies
keep trying to jump me.

552
00:28:46,233 --> 00:28:48,100
But I was… I was…

553
00:28:49,933 --> 00:28:52,933
[crowd chanting] Becky! Becky! Becky!

554
00:28:57,633 --> 00:29:00,800
Guys. Guys,
I was just up at the merch stand,

555
00:29:00,866 --> 00:29:03,866
reminiscing about
how fun it was last week,

556
00:29:03,933 --> 00:29:07,000
when I got to beat up Bayley
and her two cronies at one time.

557
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:09,000
That was awesome.

558
00:29:09,066 --> 00:29:12,233
It would be awesome if you hurry this up.

559
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:14,199
I got stuff to do, Becky.

560
00:29:14,266 --> 00:29:17,133
Yeah, well, you know… Did you know…

561
00:29:17,199 --> 00:29:19,466
Did you know, Bayley, that it is…

562
00:29:19,533 --> 00:29:22,466
Well, did you know
that this is a great sign right here?

563
00:29:23,266 --> 00:29:24,366
[crowd whooping]

564
00:29:24,433 --> 00:29:27,100
[Bayley] Why don't you just
have a seat next to her, okay? I--

565
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:30,800
Did you-- Did you also know
that it's been over three years

566
00:29:30,899 --> 00:29:34,300
since we've faced each other
one-on-one, huh?

567
00:29:34,366 --> 00:29:37,100
And I don't-- I don't think we even

568
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:41,633
scratched the surface
because, well, I was gone.

569
00:29:41,699 --> 00:29:44,699
And then, you were here, and, well--
Hey, by the way, great job.

570
00:29:44,766 --> 00:29:48,633
You held the company on your back
during the ThunderDome era.

571
00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:52,033
Yeah, yeah, she did. She did.
You were a champion.

572
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:53,866
You were champion. Double champion.

573
00:29:53,933 --> 00:29:56,933
Sometimes doing double duty.
Sometimes, triple duty.

574
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,733
You guys can cheer for that.

575
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,100
[crowd booing]

576
00:30:02,166 --> 00:30:04,766
Yeah, yeah, you did--
You did awesome. And then?

577
00:30:04,833 --> 00:30:07,066
And then, I came back, but you were gone.

578
00:30:07,133 --> 00:30:10,166
And then, you came back, but I was gone.

579
00:30:10,233 --> 00:30:13,233
You're repeating yourself.
We all know the history, Becky.

580
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:15,366
I don't know if you know this,
and I'm sure you do,

581
00:30:15,433 --> 00:30:18,366
'cause you've got a match yourself.
I'm about to win

582
00:30:18,433 --> 00:30:20,766
a Triple Threat Match
to face Bianca Belair later.

583
00:30:20,833 --> 00:30:24,899
So, you don't need to tell me our history.

584
00:30:24,966 --> 00:30:27,699
You don't need to tell me
the last time we have a match

585
00:30:27,766 --> 00:30:30,500
because it doesn't matter
right now, Becks.

586
00:30:30,566 --> 00:30:33,100
Stop reminiscing in the past.

587
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:36,633
Look, you're coming down--
You're coming down these stairs,

588
00:30:36,699 --> 00:30:41,866
you're interrupting matches.
You're interrupting my stories, my magic,

589
00:30:41,933 --> 00:30:44,899
joining WarGames, just thinking
you could do whatever you want--

590
00:30:44,966 --> 00:30:46,533
Yeah, yeah, I kind of do.

591
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,466
[Bayley chuckles]

592
00:30:49,366 --> 00:30:51,733
-You know what, Becky?
-I was just trying to catch up.

593
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,300
Do you know what the difference is
between me and you?

594
00:30:54,366 --> 00:30:56,733
And I'm noticing it now more than ever.

595
00:30:57,699 --> 00:31:03,066
When you're here,
the spotlight is all about you, isn't it?

596
00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:05,000
[crowd cheering]

597
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,600
[crowd chanting] Becky! Becky! Becky!

598
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:19,699
You guys make it worse.

599
00:31:19,766 --> 00:31:23,533
She doesn't care about you guys.
You don't care about anybody else.

600
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,433
I care about everyone.
I care about the WWE.

601
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,833
[crowd booing]

602
00:31:34,766 --> 00:31:36,933
And that's exactly what I've been doing

603
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,699
while you've been gone,
while you've been out hurt.

604
00:31:40,766 --> 00:31:42,899
That's why I have Dakota and Iyo with me

605
00:31:42,966 --> 00:31:47,066
because I'm looking out
for the future for you idiots.

606
00:31:47,133 --> 00:31:49,699
I'm looking out for the locker room.

607
00:31:49,766 --> 00:31:52,899
-[crowd booing]
-I look at the bigger picture, Becky.

608
00:31:52,966 --> 00:31:55,366
You just look in the mirror
and see yourself!

609
00:31:57,899 --> 00:32:00,300
You guys don't cheer for that, huh?

610
00:32:00,366 --> 00:32:03,733
You have no respect
for what I'm trying to do for this place?

611
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,833
[crowd continues booing]

612
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:12,399
[crowd chanting] Becky! Becky! Becky!

613
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,033
[imperceptible]

614
00:32:19,766 --> 00:32:22,133
Well, you know, you are…

615
00:32:22,199 --> 00:32:23,766
You are looking out for them, right?

616
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:26,666
And… And you guys have been successful.

617
00:32:26,733 --> 00:32:28,333
Damage CTRL have been successful.

618
00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:32,733
Well, actually, two thirds of
Damage CTRL have been successful

619
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,300
because I can see
two champions, and one loser.

620
00:32:36,366 --> 00:32:38,633
[crowd exclaiming]

621
00:32:41,433 --> 00:32:46,166
But, hey, I hope you win
your match tonight.

622
00:32:46,233 --> 00:32:49,966
And maybe, finally, we can go
one-on-one once again

623
00:32:50,033 --> 00:32:51,300
and make some more history,

624
00:32:51,366 --> 00:32:54,899
you know, if you're woman enough
to face The Man.

625
00:32:55,699 --> 00:32:57,966
[crowd cheering]

626

to get under the skin of Bayley

628

before this Triple Threat matchup.

629
00:33:10,366 --> 00:33:13,633
[Kevin] In Bayley's way tonight,
Rhea Ripley.

630
00:33:29,433 --> 00:33:31,433
A determined Rhea Ripley…

631
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:35,399
staring down Becky Lynch.

632
00:33:36,466 --> 00:33:38,899
[Corey] It could be
a glimpse into the future.

633
00:33:38,966 --> 00:33:42,899
This could be in the cards for
next week on Monday Night Raw,

634
00:33:42,966 --> 00:33:46,533
if both win their respective
Triple Threat Matches.

635
00:33:52,100 --> 00:33:54,500
A smirk of confidence
on the face of Ripley.

The Eradicator being met

638
00:34:31,266 --> 00:34:34,000
with an unflinching gaze from The Man.

639
00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:41,433
Rhea better turn her attention
to the task at hand,

640
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:43,400
and not focus on the future.

641
00:34:45,066 --> 00:34:50,900
You see, Lynch
sarcastically wish Ripley good luck.

642
00:34:50,966 --> 00:34:53,133
I don't know if Rhea's going to need luck.

643
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:58,500
Rhea Ripley may be the most physically
dominant female in all of WWE.

644
00:34:58,566 --> 00:35:02,933
And I say that with respect
for the athleticism of Bianca Belair,

645
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,533
the power of Raquel…

646
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,033
[announcer] Next,
representing The Judgment Day,

647
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:11,100
Rhea Ripley!

648
00:35:11,166 --> 00:35:13,533
[Corey] It's all about attitude.

649
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,733
Rhea Ripley wants
another crack at the champion.

650
00:35:16,799 --> 00:35:19,066
[Kevin] Rhea Ripley
and Becky Lynch will pass for now.

651
00:35:19,133 --> 00:35:21,766
There may be no avoiding
each other next week.

652
00:35:21,833 --> 00:35:24,799
If "The Nightmare" Rhea Ripley
can be victorious,

653
00:35:24,866 --> 00:35:28,766
it's a Triple Threat Match to come
to qualify for next week's match.

654
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:31,533
And it's Asuka, Bayley, and Rhea Ripley.

655
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,900

[Kevin] Welcome back, folks.
We're in Washington, D.C.

658
00:35:42,866 --> 00:35:46,533
You're watching Monday Night Raw.
Triple Threat action to come.

659
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,000
Asuka has entered the building.

660
00:35:52,933 --> 00:35:56,366
[announcer] And her opponent,
from Osaka, Japan,

661
00:35:56,433 --> 00:36:00,600
Asuka!

662
00:36:00,666 --> 00:36:02,733
[Corey] You should never,
under any circumstance,

663
00:36:02,799 --> 00:36:05,299
bet against
"The Empress of Tomorrow" Asuka.

664
00:36:05,366 --> 00:36:10,666
She could leave Washington, D.C.
tonight prepared for battle next week

665
00:36:10,733 --> 00:36:13,000
to find out who will be
number-one contender.

666
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:18,000
[Kevin] Well, folks, Monday Night Raw
is presented by DoorDash,

667
00:36:18,066 --> 00:36:20,866
a neighborhood of good in every order.

668
00:36:20,933 --> 00:36:24,266
[Corey] Asuka knows what it means
to hold the Raw Women's Championship.

669
00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:26,866
What I would like to see
is a bit of a return to form.

670
00:36:26,933 --> 00:36:30,133
Once upon a time,
in the not so distant past,

671
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,833
Aska was arguably
the most feared woman in WWE,

672
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:37,033
if not the most feared Superstar overall.

673
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:40,633
If Asuka can tap into that side
that we've seen in the past,

674
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:42,433
there's a very real possibility

675
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,333
that the Empress of Tomorrow
could emerge victorious in this one.

676
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,100
[Kevin] What a night
we have here on Monday Night Raw.

677
00:36:49,166 --> 00:36:51,500
Six former Raw Women's Champions

678
00:36:51,566 --> 00:36:54,566
battling it out
in two separate Triple Threat Matches.

679
00:36:54,633 --> 00:36:57,733
The winner of each match tonight
will then clash next week

680
00:36:57,799 --> 00:36:58,933
in one-on-one action

681
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,799
-with enormous implications.
-[bell rings]

682
00:37:00,866 --> 00:37:02,566
[Corey] Oh! Asuka,
out of the gate, strong.

683
00:37:02,633 --> 00:37:05,233
The second Triple Threat
is still to come tonight. Becky--

684
00:37:05,299 --> 00:37:06,333
Whoa! Shoulders down!

685
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,133
[Kevin] Look at Rhea Ripley
looking to put this one away early.

686
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,533
[Corey] Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss,
and Nikki Cross

687
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,833
will collide in the other
Triple Threat tonight.

688
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:15,799
Ripley, once again from behind,
shoulders down!

689
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,033
-[Kevin] Kick out by Bayley.
-[Corey] A smart strategy

690
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:20,266
by all of these women,
looking for the early advantage,

691
00:37:20,333 --> 00:37:23,000
trying to steal a pin
with minimal exertion.

692
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:25,100
[Kevin] Winner by pinfall or submission.

693
00:37:25,166 --> 00:37:27,566
How do you handle the powerhouse
that is Rhea Ripley?

694
00:37:27,633 --> 00:37:28,833
[Corey] Don't ask Asuka,

695
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:31,000
because The Empress
certainly hasn't figured it out.

696
00:37:31,066 --> 00:37:32,666
-[wrestlers grunting]
-[Kevin] Oh!

697
00:37:32,733 --> 00:37:35,066
-Rhea Ripley looking to put away Asuka.
-[Corey] Cover!

698
00:37:35,133 --> 00:37:37,833
[Kevin] Shoulders are down,
kick out by Asuka.

699
00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:41,466
Dominik is saying, on The Bump this week,
WWE's The Bump, that Rhea Ripley

700
00:37:41,533 --> 00:37:44,900
would have won WarGames
were it not for Asuka's Green Mist

701
00:37:44,966 --> 00:37:48,299
-in the face of Ripley.
-[Corey] It was a very valid observation

702
00:37:48,366 --> 00:37:51,166
by an intelligent young man
in Dominik Mysterio.

703
00:37:51,233 --> 00:37:52,666
[wrestlers grunting]

704
00:37:52,733 --> 00:37:56,166
And where do you, Kevin Patrick,
get off calling Rhea Ripley a succubus?

705
00:37:56,233 --> 00:37:59,000
[Kevin] I didn't say that word.
I don't even know how to spell it.

706
00:37:59,066 --> 00:38:02,266
[Corey] That's what she thinks you said.
Bayley looking to take down Ripley.

707
00:38:02,333 --> 00:38:05,333
But Rhea just too strong,
and Bayley avoided disaster

708
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,033
-in the stomp from The Eradicator.
-[Bayley] What's up, Mommy?

709
00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:11,700
[Kevin] The so-called Role Model
in an exchange here

710
00:38:11,766 --> 00:38:15,299
-with Rhea Ripley.
-[wrestlers grunting]

711
00:38:15,366 --> 00:38:18,233
[Corey] Ripley hanging on to the top rope.

712
00:38:18,299 --> 00:38:22,366
[Kevin] Picks up Bayley with ease.
Blocks the right.

713
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:24,033
-[wrestlers grunting]
-[Kevin] Oh!

714
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:28,400
[Corey] Big, heavy right by Ripley
bulldozing Bayley back into the corner.

715
00:38:28,466 --> 00:38:33,866
And now, shoulders over and over
to the abdomen of The Role Model.

716
00:38:33,933 --> 00:38:36,666
[Kevin] Oh! Making that suplex
look simple.

717
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:40,100
We talk about Rhea Ripley
as the X-factor for The Judgment Day.

718
00:38:40,166 --> 00:38:42,400
But she may be the X-factor and more,

719
00:38:42,466 --> 00:38:44,933
en route back
to the Raw Women's Championship.

720
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,600
-Ooh!
-[wrestlers grunting]

721
00:38:48,266 --> 00:38:50,466
[Kevin] Dominant display so far.

722
00:38:50,533 --> 00:38:52,966
[Corey] A sickening thud
across the back of Bayley

723
00:38:53,033 --> 00:38:55,866
-with a big-time forearm from Ripley!
-[wrestlers grunting]

724
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,766
[Kevin] A sadistic smile
on the face of Rhea.

725
00:39:00,833 --> 00:39:03,933
[Corey] Ripley grinning ear to ear.

726
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,100
Just a reminder. This match, it can only
be decided by pinfall or submission.

727
00:39:08,166 --> 00:39:11,633
No count out, no disqualification
under Triple Threat rules.

728
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:14,100
I would look for all three
of these women to capitalize…

729
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:17,966
Oh! On the flexibility
within the rules tonight,

730
00:39:18,033 --> 00:39:23,566
Rhea playing fair-and-square
and just woman-handling both competitors.

731
00:39:23,633 --> 00:39:26,466
[crowd cheering]

732
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,033
[Kevin] We can't forget,
before the commercial break,

733
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:33,233
that stare down between
Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch.

734
00:39:34,066 --> 00:39:38,566
Who knows, the matchup we could
very well see if Rhea is successful here,

735
00:39:38,633 --> 00:39:41,433
and Becky Lynch
successful later on tonight.

736
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,133
[Corey] Asuka doing her best
to fight back into this matchup.

737
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,433
-Bayley now from behind.
-[wrestlers grunting]

738
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:49,799
Fantastic teamwork. Ripley's down!

739
00:39:51,466 --> 00:39:53,533
[Kevin] You said it, Corey. Teamwork.

740
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,133
-On Rhea Ripley.
-[wrestlers chattering indistinctly]

741
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,500
[Corey] Strategically necessary alliance!

742
00:39:58,566 --> 00:40:01,799
And Ripley, shoulder first
into the ring post.

743
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:04,833
[Kevin] Just decapitating Rhea Ripley.

744
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:07,866
Well, Bayley turns her attention to Asuka.

745
00:40:11,299 --> 00:40:13,766
Maybe a smart play
by both Asuka and Bayley.

746
00:40:13,833 --> 00:40:15,866
-[Bayley screams]
-[Corey] It's brilliant.

747
00:40:15,933 --> 00:40:18,433
-Asuka now…
-[wrestlers grunting]

748
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:22,133
-Bayley out of harm's way just in time.
-[Kevin] Taking the legs from Asuka.

749
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,299
-Outside the ring, they go.
-[wrestlers grunting]

750
00:40:25,366 --> 00:40:27,266
Face-first into the barricade.

751
00:40:27,333 --> 00:40:29,266
-[crowd cheering]
-[man] Bayley!

752
00:40:29,333 --> 00:40:31,866
[Kevin] Bayley,
insulted earlier on by Becky Lynch.

753
00:40:31,933 --> 00:40:36,700
-[Corey] Oh, wait! Ripley from nowhere!
-Rhea Ripley's back in the game.

754
00:40:36,766 --> 00:40:38,966
[Corey] Triple Threat. Who will survive?

755
00:40:39,033 --> 00:40:40,500
[man] Go, Rhea!

756
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,400
[Kevin] We're in the midst
of a grueling Triple Threat Match

757
00:40:45,466 --> 00:40:47,900
between Asuka, Bayley, and Rhea Ripley.

758
00:40:47,966 --> 00:40:51,133
The victor from this match
will then take on, next week,

759
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,700
the winner from a match later on tonight

760
00:40:53,766 --> 00:40:56,700
between Becky Lynch,
Alexa Bliss, and Nikki Cross,

761
00:40:56,766 --> 00:41:00,799
a match that has massive implications
for the Raw Women's Championship,

762
00:41:00,866 --> 00:41:02,900
Corey Graves,
as Bianca Belair waiting in the wings

763
00:41:02,966 --> 00:41:05,200
to find out who will be
the number-one contender.

764
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:07,700
[Corey] I assure you that
The EST keeping a close eye

765
00:41:07,766 --> 00:41:10,133
on both of these
Triple Threat Matches tonight.

766
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,799
Here we see Bayley and Rhea Ripley
working together temporarily.

767
00:41:13,866 --> 00:41:16,299
A strategic alliance
in a Triple Threat Match

768
00:41:16,366 --> 00:41:19,733
is a relatively familiar sight
because it's tried and true.

769
00:41:19,799 --> 00:41:23,366
It works. Work together
to eliminate that third wheel,

770
00:41:23,433 --> 00:41:25,166
and then, you have
a one-on-one competition.

771
00:41:25,233 --> 00:41:26,866
[Kevin] How can Rhea Ripley trust Bayley

772
00:41:26,933 --> 00:41:29,733
-after she turned on her earlier tonight?
-[wrestlers grunting]

773
00:41:29,799 --> 00:41:32,299
[Corey] Well, I mean, listen, I…

774
00:41:32,366 --> 00:41:35,166
I don't know why Rhea
thinks the way she does. Look at this!

775
00:41:35,233 --> 00:41:37,833
[Kevin] Look at this from Asuka.
The speed.

776
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,733
Creative arsenal on show here from Asuka!

777
00:41:43,033 --> 00:41:44,933
These two have history

778
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,700
going back to Wrestlemania last year,

779
00:41:47,766 --> 00:41:50,366
and, of course, from WarGames
just over a week ago.

780
00:41:51,799 --> 00:41:55,066
Ooh! Kick to the side of the head
of Rhea Ripley.

781
00:41:55,133 --> 00:41:56,633
[wrestlers grunting]

782
00:41:57,900 --> 00:42:00,366
[Corey] The power of Ripley
on display yet again.

783
00:42:00,433 --> 00:42:03,133
Asuka wanted to use Bayley as a launchpad,

784
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,500
still connected with Ripley somehow.

785
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,466
It was ugly, but it was effective.

786
00:42:10,033 --> 00:42:12,700
I don't know how much Asuka got
of that back kick,

787
00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:17,366
but a firm side headlock applied
and Asuka takes down Bayley.

788
00:42:17,466 --> 00:42:18,600
[Kevin] Asuka's now rolling.

789
00:42:18,700 --> 00:42:21,400
Rhea Ripley, her sight's
set on Asuka, swing and a miss.

790
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:23,733
Asuka knees to the jaw of Ripley.

791
00:42:23,833 --> 00:42:24,700
This could be it.

792
00:42:24,799 --> 00:42:26,466
The opportunity for Asuka to seal it.

793
00:42:26,566 --> 00:42:27,566
Kick out by Rhea.

794
00:42:27,666 --> 00:42:29,900
[Corey] Asuka didn't have the legs
hooked deeply enough.

795
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,433
Didn't have enough of her weight across
the massive shoulders of Rhea Ripley

796
00:42:33,533 --> 00:42:35,433
to keep The Eradicator down for three.

797
00:42:35,533 --> 00:42:36,666
As we look again.

798
00:42:36,766 --> 00:42:38,600
The Empress of Tomorrow,

799
00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:40,666
knees to the face of Ripley.

800
00:42:40,766 --> 00:42:42,566
-Hooks the leg…
-[referee] One, two…

801
00:42:43,333 --> 00:42:46,066
…but Ripley able to escape
with relative ease.

802
00:42:46,166 --> 00:42:49,400
[Kevin] The first woman to gain
pinfall or submission

803
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:51,866
is the victor here
in this Triple Threat Match.

804
00:42:52,466 --> 00:42:55,766
Asuka just kicking off here
on Rhea Ripley and Bayley.

805
00:42:57,233 --> 00:42:58,866
Powerful right leg of Asuka.

806
00:42:58,966 --> 00:43:00,833
[Corey] Bayley out of the way
just in time.

807
00:43:00,933 --> 00:43:03,766
[Kevin] Rolling her up. Bayley now,
for the victory. Kick out early.

808
00:43:05,233 --> 00:43:07,500
[both screaming, grunting]

809
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,500
[Corey] Asuka has the anklelock applied,
Bayley in trouble.

810
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,066
-[crowd cheering]
-[Bayley screaming]

811
00:43:12,133 --> 00:43:13,366
[Kevin] Bayley in agony.

812
00:43:15,366 --> 00:43:16,700
Grabs the hair of Asuka.

813
00:43:16,799 --> 00:43:17,833
[Corey] Obviously, again,

814
00:43:17,933 --> 00:43:20,833
no disqualification or count out
in a Triple Threat Match,

815
00:43:20,933 --> 00:43:23,133
but Ripley's going to want to stop Asuka.

816
00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:28,733
[Kevin] It's Bayley with the hair
of Rhea Ripley.

817
00:43:28,833 --> 00:43:30,000
Oh!

818
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,400
Bayley dunked in a German suplex,
shoulders down.

819
00:43:34,533 --> 00:43:36,500
[Kevin] Rhea back up on her feet.

820
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,700
Turns into a big kick from Asuka!

821
00:43:38,799 --> 00:43:40,500
[crowd cheering]

822
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,000
[Corey] Asuka was looking
to seal the deal but Bayley,

823
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:47,100
very wisely,
dragging The Empress out of the ring,

824
00:43:48,166 --> 00:43:50,366
thwarting whatever plans Asuka had.

825
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:52,733
Ripley is down.

826
00:43:53,666 --> 00:43:55,833
Bayley beginning to stir and recover.

827
00:43:56,666 --> 00:43:58,866
[Kevin] Think about what it would do
for Damage CTRL

828
00:43:58,966 --> 00:44:01,299
if Bayley could become
the Raw Women's Champion.

829
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,966
Iyo and Dakota already
the Tag Team Champions.

830
00:44:05,066 --> 00:44:08,766
[Corey] Absolutely right.
Damage CTRL could run the table.

831
00:44:08,866 --> 00:44:11,700
Right now, Bayley focused
on the task at hand.

832
00:44:11,799 --> 00:44:14,233
That being The Eradicator
of The Judgment Day.

833
00:44:14,333 --> 00:44:16,233
[crowd chanting indistinctly]

834
00:44:17,133 --> 00:44:19,133
[Kevin] Further strategy on show.

835
00:44:19,233 --> 00:44:21,466
-I'm not part of Damage CTRL.
-I know!

836
00:44:21,566 --> 00:44:23,333
You can't boss me around.

837
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,733
You listen to me.

838
00:44:25,833 --> 00:44:28,133
-[imperceptible]
-[crowd cheering]

839
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:31,200
[Corey] Rhea reminding Bayley,
you don't boss me around,

840
00:44:31,299 --> 00:44:32,666
and Bayley got caught.

841
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:36,033
[Kevin] Bayley responds
with a strong right.

842
00:44:36,133 --> 00:44:39,133
"I'm not joining Damage CTRL,"
the words of Rhea Ripley.

843
00:44:39,666 --> 00:44:42,333
[both yelling]

844
00:44:43,766 --> 00:44:44,866
[Kevin] Oh!

845
00:44:46,833 --> 00:44:48,966
[Corey] Body shots from both women.

846
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:52,166
[Kevin] Oh, here comes Asuka. Wow!

847
00:44:52,266 --> 00:44:54,166
[Corey] Double Codebreaker! Cover!

848
00:44:54,266 --> 00:44:57,000
[Kevin] Asuka's moment, here it is!
Kick out by Rhea.

849
00:44:57,466 --> 00:44:58,866
[Corey] Try it again, Asuka.

850
00:44:58,966 --> 00:45:01,200
[Kevin] She goes over to Bayley. Kick out.

851
00:45:01,299 --> 00:45:03,200
Asuka can't get it done.

852
00:45:03,299 --> 00:45:06,633
[Corey] We talk all the time about
having to keep your head on a swivel

853
00:45:06,733 --> 00:45:10,366
in multi-person matches in WWE.

854
00:45:10,466 --> 00:45:12,433
That was an example as to just why.

855
00:45:12,533 --> 00:45:14,266
[Kevin] What a scene it is here.

856
00:45:14,366 --> 00:45:16,633
Packed house, electric atmosphere,

857
00:45:16,733 --> 00:45:19,333
and another Triple Threat Match
to come later on tonight.

858
00:45:19,433 --> 00:45:24,033
Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch,
and the maniacal Nikki Cross.

859
00:45:24,166 --> 00:45:26,533
[Corey] Asuka now perched up top.

860
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,466
Precarious situation for Bayley.

861
00:45:28,566 --> 00:45:30,166
Dropkick connects.

862
00:45:30,866 --> 00:45:33,066
-One, two…
-[Kevin] Cover! Asuka.

863
00:45:34,433 --> 00:45:37,366
[Corey] Asuka Lock. It's cinched in.
Bayley's in trouble.

864
00:45:37,466 --> 00:45:39,233
[Kevin] Oh, big time trouble.

865
00:45:39,933 --> 00:45:42,000
[Corey] Bayley's got to hang on.

866
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:44,299
[Kevin] Will Bayley tap?

867
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,233
[Corey] Asuka doesn't have her hands
fully latched to complete the submission.

868
00:45:48,333 --> 00:45:49,866
[Kevin] Here comes Rhea Ripley.

869
00:45:49,966 --> 00:45:53,666
At pace off the ropes,
Ripley, to devastating effect.

870
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,366
[Corey] Concussive dropkick. Cover here.

871
00:45:56,466 --> 00:45:59,266
[Kevin] Rhea Ripley to put away Asuka.
Kick out.

872
00:46:00,566 --> 00:46:02,266
Rhea Ripley can hardly believe it.

873
00:46:02,366 --> 00:46:04,566
[Corey] Asuka with the Asuka Lock applied.

874
00:46:04,666 --> 00:46:10,033
Ripley knew she had to break up the hold
before Bayley had a chance to submit.

875
00:46:10,133 --> 00:46:12,166
Ripley succeeded in that respect.

876
00:46:12,266 --> 00:46:13,600
[crowd cheering]

877
00:46:15,833 --> 00:46:18,400
[Kevin] The WWE Universe
here in Washington, D.C.

878
00:46:18,500 --> 00:46:21,266
witnessing a pulsating
Triple Threat Match.

879
00:46:24,966 --> 00:46:27,366
[Corey] Bianca Belair keeping
a close eye on this match

880
00:46:27,466 --> 00:46:29,633
as she will the Triple Threat
later tonight.

881
00:46:29,733 --> 00:46:31,333
Next week here on Monday Night Raw

882
00:46:31,433 --> 00:46:36,266
will determine the next challenger
for The EST's Raw Women's Championship.

883
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:39,500
Right now, things are looking bad
for Ripley-- Asuka!

884
00:46:40,266 --> 00:46:42,066
Into the armbar submission.

885
00:46:42,166 --> 00:46:44,000
Ripley flailing wildly.

886
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:45,433
Rhea needs a way out.

887
00:46:46,033 --> 00:46:49,166
[Kevin] I'm not sure she has one,
but it may come in the form of Bayley.

888
00:46:49,266 --> 00:46:51,500
Bayley breaks it up, into the cover.

889
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,966
Bayley for the victory now.

890
00:46:53,066 --> 00:46:54,466
Asuka kicks out.

891
00:46:56,500 --> 00:47:01,266
[Corey] Great strategy from all three
of these women to this juncture.

892
00:47:01,366 --> 00:47:05,200
Bayley realizing that her chance
could be slipping away…

893
00:47:05,299 --> 00:47:08,799
delivers the elbow to force Asuka
to break the submission.

894
00:47:10,033 --> 00:47:13,133
Now The Role Model
just battering The Empress.

895
00:47:14,266 --> 00:47:15,133
[Kevin] No wonder.

896
00:47:15,233 --> 00:47:18,000
[Corey] Bayley-to-Belly!
That's going to do it!

897
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,466
[Kevin] That may do it, all right.
Rhea Ripley in the way.

898
00:47:23,333 --> 00:47:28,033
Three former Raw Women's Champions
going to war here in this Triple Threat.

899
00:47:28,833 --> 00:47:31,266
Big headbutt from Ripley and again.

900
00:47:32,799 --> 00:47:35,533
[Corey] A trio of headbutts
from down under.

901
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,266
Northern Lights suplex, shoulders down.

902
00:47:37,366 --> 00:47:39,233
[Kevin] Rhea Ripley now, Bayley kicks out.

903
00:47:39,299 --> 00:47:41,066
Ripley makes that look so easy.

904
00:47:42,533 --> 00:47:44,666
[Corey] It is for a powerhouse like Rhea.

905
00:47:45,966 --> 00:47:49,299
But to this point, Ripley has not
had an answer for both Asuka

906
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,299
and Bayley at the same time.

907
00:47:52,799 --> 00:47:55,000
Look at this. Outrageous.

908
00:47:55,066 --> 00:47:57,333
[Kevin] Oh, face first onto the canvas.

909
00:47:57,433 --> 00:47:58,900
Rhea Ripley.

910
00:47:59,433 --> 00:48:00,966
Oh, kick out by Asuka.

911
00:48:01,066 --> 00:48:02,433
Would you believe it?

912
00:48:03,033 --> 00:48:05,799
[Corey] I don't believe it.
Ripley doesn't believe it.

913
00:48:07,799 --> 00:48:09,200
[Kevin] She's stunned.

914
00:48:09,299 --> 00:48:10,366
Takes out Bayley.

915
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:13,000
Rhea Ripley's back for more with Asuka…

916
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:14,600
[Corey] Bayley disposed of for now.

917
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:16,833
I've got to question this strategy
by Ripley.

918
00:48:16,933 --> 00:48:19,900
Rhea has Asuka down inside the ring.

919
00:48:21,466 --> 00:48:22,966
[Kevin] She wants more from Bayley.

920
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:24,900
-[Corey] Oh, no!
-[Kevin] She's out.

921
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,333
[screaming]

922
00:48:26,833 --> 00:48:29,233
[Corey] I don't know if Rhea's
getting back up from that.

923
00:48:29,333 --> 00:48:32,433
[Kevin] Is this the opening for Bayley?
Asuka back up on her feet.

924
00:48:32,533 --> 00:48:34,366
Bayley-to-Belly. This one turned around!

925
00:48:34,466 --> 00:48:36,033
Reversal from Asuka.

926
00:48:37,866 --> 00:48:39,966
[Corey] Backfist after backfist.

927
00:48:41,299 --> 00:48:44,066
A barrage of strikes from
The Empress of Tomorrow,

928
00:48:44,166 --> 00:48:47,400
but the veteran Bayley
shoving Asuka to the corner.

929
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:49,100
[Kevin] Big boot to the chin of Bayley.

930
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,333
Asuka wants to climb.

931
00:48:51,433 --> 00:48:53,266
[Corey] Asuka wanted the dropkick.

932
00:48:53,366 --> 00:48:54,733
Bayley had it scouted.

933
00:48:55,233 --> 00:48:56,733
Rose Plant!

934
00:48:58,066 --> 00:48:59,600
[Kevin] Asuka looks lifeless.

935
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:01,833
Bayley looking for the victory…
Oh, she's got it!

936
00:49:01,933 --> 00:49:03,700
-[bell rings]
-[Kevin] Bayley's won!

937
00:49:03,799 --> 00:49:06,000
-["Role Model" playing]
-[crowd cheering]

938
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:09,733
[announcer] Here's your winner, Bayley!

939
00:49:09,833 --> 00:49:15,600
[Corey] And Bayley has taken the ever
so important next step in the process

940
00:49:15,700 --> 00:49:20,799
to become Bianca Belair's
next Championship challenger.

941
00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:25,333
Much to the dismay of "The Eradicator"
Rhea Ripley.

942
00:49:25,433 --> 00:49:26,633
[Kevin] What is Rhea doing?

943
00:49:26,733 --> 00:49:29,733
[Corey] Taking out her frustration
on a fallen Asuka.

944
00:49:29,833 --> 00:49:31,200
[crowd booing]

945
00:49:31,299 --> 00:49:34,866
[Kevin] As you pointed out, she had
the opportunity, Rhea Ripley, to end this.

946
00:49:34,966 --> 00:49:37,299
[Corey] I think Rhea's emotions got
the best of her.

947
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,100
Rhea wanted to dispose of Bayley.

948
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,033
And in the process, may have cost
herself her best opportunity.

949
00:49:48,100 --> 00:49:49,400
This is just uncalled for.

950
00:49:49,500 --> 00:49:51,100
[Kevin] Looking for Riptide.

951
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,233
Oh, my word.

952
00:49:52,333 --> 00:49:54,333
[Corey] Riptide to Asuka.

953
00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:57,600
[crowd booing]

954
00:49:59,333 --> 00:50:01,433
[Kevin] From bad to worse for Asuka.

955
00:50:04,233 --> 00:50:06,666
Rhea Ripley can only watch on.

956
00:50:06,766 --> 00:50:09,866
That match is all about Bayley,

957
00:50:11,066 --> 00:50:14,700
who no doubt will be keeping her eye
on Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss,

958
00:50:14,799 --> 00:50:15,899
and Nikki Cross.

959
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,466
To come, a Triple Threat Match
later tonight.

960
00:50:20,966 --> 00:50:24,200
But, folks, some breaking news
here on Monday Night Raw,

961
00:50:24,299 --> 00:50:29,066
we are set to have a Number One Contenders
Match for the United States Championship

962
00:50:29,166 --> 00:50:30,633
next week on Raw.

963
00:50:30,733 --> 00:50:33,533
It's Seth "Freakin" Rollins
against Bobby Lashley

964
00:50:33,633 --> 00:50:35,899
and The Visionary is here tonight.

965
00:50:40,633 --> 00:50:43,100
[Kevin] Welcome back, folks.
Breaking news earlier tonight

966
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,500
regarding "The Scottish Warrior"
Drew McIntyre taking to Twitter and saying

967
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,633
"Unfortunately, I'm medically disqualified
to compete this Friday on SmackDown."

968
00:50:50,733 --> 00:50:53,433
"I don't like to miss any shows,
as everybody knows,

969
00:50:53,533 --> 00:50:55,966
but I promise I'll be back soon."

970
00:50:56,066 --> 00:50:59,233
-Corey Graves, the show goes on.
-[Corey] Worry not!

971
00:50:59,333 --> 00:51:03,666
[Kevin] We are set to have an Undisputed
Tag Team Championship Match on Friday.

972
00:51:03,799 --> 00:51:07,266
[Corey] Sheamus needed a suitable
replacement and found just that

973
00:51:07,366 --> 00:51:11,433
in the wild man known as Butch
of the Brawling Brutes.

974
00:51:11,533 --> 00:51:15,533
Butch and The Celtic Warrior
join forces to battle The Usos

975
00:51:15,633 --> 00:51:18,966
for the Undisputed WWE
Tag Team Championship

976
00:51:19,066 --> 00:51:20,899
this Friday in the Steel City.

977
00:51:21,433 --> 00:51:23,700
["Visionary" playing]

978
00:51:23,799 --> 00:51:25,133
[crowd cheering]

979
00:51:27,466 --> 00:51:31,399
[Kevin] Speaking of a match to come
with championship implications…

980
00:51:42,133 --> 00:51:46,500
[crowd singing along]

981
00:51:53,933 --> 00:51:56,799
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

982
00:51:56,899 --> 00:52:02,100
Seth "Freakin" Rollins!

983
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,700
[Corey] We're in the birthplace
of Henry Rollins,

984
00:52:04,799 --> 00:52:07,500
but D.C. isn't singing Black Flag tonight.

985
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:12,033
They're singing Black and The Brave,
as in The Visionary,

986
00:52:12,133 --> 00:52:15,466
The Revolutionary, and potentially,

987
00:52:15,566 --> 00:52:19,933
the next challenger to the
United States Championship.

988
00:52:22,066 --> 00:52:24,566
[Kevin] Next week, on Monday Night Raw,

989
00:52:24,666 --> 00:52:26,600
it's a Number One Contenders Match

990
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:30,933
with two recent former
United States Championship holders.

991
00:52:31,033 --> 00:52:35,299
Two men that want to get their paws on
the United States Championship yet again.

992
00:52:35,366 --> 00:52:38,466
It's Bobby Lashley
and Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

993
00:52:38,533 --> 00:52:43,066
[Corey] Rollins out here tonight with
so much drip I'm not even sure it's legal,

994
00:52:43,166 --> 00:52:47,700
but the nation's capital
serenading Rollins with his battle hymn.

995

You know me.

1000
00:53:21,333 --> 00:53:22,766
You love me.

00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:24,500
I am The Visionary.

1002
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,366
I am a revolutionary.

1003
00:53:26,466 --> 00:53:28,200
I am Seth--

1004
00:53:28,299 --> 00:53:31,200
[crowd yells] "Freakin" Rollins!

1005
00:53:33,266 --> 00:53:37,600
Oh, I've got some
breaking news for you, D.C.,

1006
00:53:37,700 --> 00:53:41,166
because one week from tonight,

1007
00:53:41,266 --> 00:53:47,566
yours truly is going to go one-on-one

1008
00:53:47,666 --> 00:53:53,166
with "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.

1009
00:53:55,633 --> 00:53:59,066
And the winner of that there little match

1010
00:53:59,166 --> 00:54:03,666
will be your new Number One Contender

1011
00:54:03,766 --> 00:54:08,633
for the United States Championship.

1012
00:54:10,666 --> 00:54:15,600
Now, I've got plenty of things
I'd love to say to old Bob,

1013
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:19,866
but with him not being out here,
that's not very fun.

1014
00:54:19,966 --> 00:54:23,366
And D.C.,
you want to have some fun tonight?

1015
00:54:23,466 --> 00:54:26,333
[crowd cheering]

1016
00:54:26,433 --> 00:54:29,733
You guys sounded like
you were having quite a good time

1017
00:54:29,833 --> 00:54:31,899
singing my song.

1018
00:54:33,899 --> 00:54:37,766
[crowd singing Seth Rollins' theme song]

1019
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,433
["All Mighty" playing]

1020
00:54:43,533 --> 00:54:46,666
[Corey] Things are about to get fun,
all right!

1021
00:54:48,799 --> 00:54:51,500
[Kevin] Did you expect anything less?

1022
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:56,666
[Corey] From the grin on his face,
this is exactly what Seth Rollins wanted.

1023
00:54:57,566 --> 00:55:01,733
The All Mighty has arrived
on Monday Night Raw.

1024
00:55:01,833 --> 00:55:04,000
[crowd cheering]

1025
00:55:08,366 --> 00:55:13,966
[Corey] Bobby Lashley, who also proudly
worn the United States Championship.

1026
00:55:14,033 --> 00:55:16,266
-[crowd cheering]
-Boo!

1027
00:55:17,666 --> 00:55:19,299
[Kevin] That's a long time ago though.

1028
00:55:19,399 --> 00:55:20,666
When you look at Bobby Lashley

1029
00:55:20,766 --> 00:55:23,666
and what we've seen from him
and his demeanor of late,

1030
00:55:23,766 --> 00:55:28,966
a man unhinged, a man on a mission,
a man that "wants to hurt people,"

1031
00:55:30,466 --> 00:55:33,600
and a man that's heard enough
tonight from Seth Rollins.

1032
00:55:41,633 --> 00:55:43,366
[crowd cheering]

1033
00:55:50,966 --> 00:55:54,399
[crowd chanting] Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!

1034
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:03,766
So, Seth, I am here.

1035
00:56:04,733 --> 00:56:07,166
So, what would you like to tell me?

1036
00:56:08,833 --> 00:56:12,633
Now, be careful… with that.

1037
00:56:12,733 --> 00:56:19,399
Bob, look, you haven't quite
been the same since Crown Jewel,

1038
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:22,733
since you lost to Brock Lesnar.

1039
00:56:23,966 --> 00:56:28,933
Hey, hey, there's no shame in losing
to Brock Lesnar, we've all been there,

1040
00:56:29,033 --> 00:56:33,666
but we want to know, Bob,
what is with your obsession

1041
00:56:33,766 --> 00:56:35,033
with Brock Lesnar?

1042
00:56:35,133 --> 00:56:38,433
This has been going on a long time
and I got to know, are you…

1043
00:56:39,766 --> 00:56:41,866
scared of Brock Lesnar?

1044
00:56:43,633 --> 00:56:49,433
He's probably a little bigger than you.
He's definitely stronger than--

1045
00:56:49,533 --> 00:56:52,600
I know what you're trying to do, Seth.
You're trying to get under my skin.

1046
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:55,433
-You're trying to rattle me again.
-No, no, no.

1047
00:56:55,533 --> 00:56:57,299
No. Why would I do that?

1048
00:56:57,399 --> 00:57:00,966
Okay, okay, okay,
you're not scared of Brock Lesnar.

1049
00:57:01,066 --> 00:57:03,266
So, if you're not scared…

1050
00:57:05,166 --> 00:57:09,066
you must be jealous of Brock Lesnar.

1051
00:57:10,833 --> 00:57:17,433
That's it, because Brock's
a bigger star than you,

1052
00:57:17,533 --> 00:57:20,666
he's won more championships than you.

1053
00:57:20,766 --> 00:57:22,966
Yeah, that's it.

1054
00:57:23,066 --> 00:57:28,833
Brock Lesnar had the career that
you wished you would have had--

1055
00:57:28,933 --> 00:57:31,000
This is not about Brock.

1056
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:35,100
This is about you and me

1057
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,233
and that United States Championship

1058
00:57:37,333 --> 00:57:40,833
that should be around my waist
right now, Seth.

1059
00:57:40,933 --> 00:57:42,933
Okay, okay, okay.

1060
00:57:43,766 --> 00:57:46,066
Bob… Bob, relax.

1061
00:57:46,733 --> 00:57:51,966
You know as well as I do that
that United States Championship,

1062
00:57:52,066 --> 00:57:55,333
it's not going to fill the void
that you have in your heart

1063
00:57:55,433 --> 00:57:59,133
left behind by the fact that you know
you just can't beat Brock.

1064
00:58:01,466 --> 00:58:05,533
And if you don't get your head right,
you don't get your temper right,

1065
00:58:06,533 --> 00:58:12,266
beating you next week is going to be a lot
easier for me than it was the first time.

1066
00:58:12,366 --> 00:58:13,733
[commentators exclaim]

1067
00:58:13,833 --> 00:58:15,833
[Corey] The All Mighty has heard enough.

1068
00:58:15,933 --> 00:58:18,833
Lashley just dropped Rollins,
but Seth's back up.

1069
00:58:19,399 --> 00:58:21,700
This thing is popping off a week early.

1070
00:58:21,799 --> 00:58:23,933
Next week, these two will collide

1071
00:58:24,033 --> 00:58:28,133
for the right to challenge
for the United States Championship,

1072
00:58:29,100 --> 00:58:32,233
but Lashley and Rollins may
tear each other apart before we get there.

1073
00:58:32,333 --> 00:58:33,799
[Kevin] Seth Rollins asked for this.

1074
00:58:33,899 --> 00:58:35,966
He's living inside the head
of Bobby Lashley.

1075
00:58:36,066 --> 00:58:38,500
He encouraged this from Bobby Lashley.

1076
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,166
[Corey] Rollins invoking the name
of Brock Lesnar,

1077
00:58:41,966 --> 00:58:44,266
which is a sensitive subject
to Bobby Lashley,

1078
00:58:44,366 --> 00:58:46,500
despite what Lashley says.

1079
00:58:47,133 --> 00:58:48,866
Lashley's heard enough.

1080
00:58:48,966 --> 00:58:50,899
Get some help out here.

1081
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,399
We got to preserve our match
for next week.

1082
00:58:54,299 --> 00:58:56,866
[Kevin] Whatever Brock Lesnar
triggered in Bobby Lashley,

1083
00:58:56,966 --> 00:58:58,566
Seth Rollins has done the same.

1084
00:58:58,666 --> 00:59:01,000
[Corey] Rollins wisely
ripping at the eyes,

1085
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:05,066
freeing himself from the clutches
of The All Mighty momentarily.

1086
00:59:05,166 --> 00:59:07,100
We've got some order restored here.

1087
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,266
-[imperceptible]
-[crowd cheering]

1088
00:59:11,033 --> 00:59:13,666
[Kevin] Is there enough security?
We've been here before.

1089
00:59:13,766 --> 00:59:16,500
Seth breaks free. Goes for Bobby.

1090
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,633
[Corey] No fear from The Visionary.

1091
00:59:18,733 --> 00:59:20,799
He's looking to take
Bobby Lashley's vision.

1092
00:59:20,899 --> 00:59:22,399
Bobby!

1093
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,299
[Corey] We got officials,

1094
00:59:26,166 --> 00:59:30,133
we've got Adam Pearce out here
trying to maintain some sort of order.

1095
00:59:31,700 --> 00:59:34,766
This is smart.
Rollins taking to higher ground.

1096
00:59:34,866 --> 00:59:38,666
[crowd singing Seth Rollins' theme song]

1097
00:59:38,766 --> 00:59:40,833
[Corey] We got to preserve the match
for next week.

1098
00:59:41,633 --> 00:59:43,233
Oh, wait a second.

1099
00:59:45,233 --> 00:59:47,933
[Kevin] The jackets are off.
The punches are flying.

1100
00:59:50,566 --> 00:59:52,166
[Pearce] Bobby!

1101
00:59:52,266 --> 00:59:57,000
[Kevin] Security, referees, all trying
to hold back Lashley and Rollins.

1102
00:59:59,266 --> 01:00:00,633
[Pearce] Bobby!

1103
01:00:01,933 --> 01:00:04,366
[Kevin] Oh, what?

1104
01:00:04,433 --> 01:00:06,333
[indistinct shouting]

1105
01:00:06,399 --> 01:00:08,299
Lashley just speared our producer.

1106
01:00:08,366 --> 01:00:11,266
-[Corey] That was unintentional.
-You want some?

1107
01:00:12,466 --> 01:00:13,966
[Corey] That was heat of the moment.

1108
01:00:14,066 --> 01:00:16,666
Lashley was very obviously
aiming for Rollins.

1109
01:00:16,766 --> 01:00:20,100
-[Kevin] That's Pete Williams, a producer.
-You've done it now, Bob.

1110
01:00:23,466 --> 01:00:26,833
[Corey] Listen, this obviously
was not Lashley's intended target.

1111
01:00:26,933 --> 01:00:29,133
Bobby charging at Rollins,

1112
01:00:29,233 --> 01:00:33,166
who pulled Pete Williams
in front of The All Mighty spear.

1113
01:00:33,733 --> 01:00:35,766
[crowd cheering]

1114
01:00:37,466 --> 01:00:39,899
[Kevin] This is what Seth Rollins
was looking for.

1115
01:00:41,166 --> 01:00:43,433
[Corey] An incensed Bobby Lashley?

1116
01:00:43,533 --> 01:00:45,500
Right now, I'm hoping to get a word

1117
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,033
with the United States Champion,
Austin Theory,

1118
01:00:48,133 --> 01:00:49,799
in the wake of what just took place.

1119
01:00:49,899 --> 01:00:52,233
Austin, I would love to get your take

1120
01:00:52,333 --> 01:00:55,899
on the absolute chaos we witnessed
from Seth "Freakin" Rollins

1121
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,066
and "The All Mighty" Bobby Lashley.

1122
01:00:58,166 --> 01:00:59,933
You know what I saw out there, Byron?

1123
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:01,066
The past.

1124
01:01:01,166 --> 01:01:04,000
Two former champions fighting over scraps,

1125
01:01:04,100 --> 01:01:09,466
and both of those men oblivious
to the fact that this business has evolved

1126
01:01:09,566 --> 01:01:11,733
and forgotten about both of them.

1127
01:01:11,833 --> 01:01:14,933
Because we live in the now,
where we run on my time,

1128
01:01:15,033 --> 01:01:17,033
and I got all the cards in my hand.

1129
01:01:17,133 --> 01:01:19,233
And, let's face it.

1130
01:01:19,333 --> 01:01:22,399
What's a couple challengers to my reign

1131
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:26,100
when the forever is just beginning?

1132
01:01:28,666 --> 01:01:30,166
[crowd cheering]

1133
01:01:30,233 --> 01:01:31,533
Forever, huh?

1134
01:01:31,633 --> 01:01:35,733
Theory, you just love writing
checks that you know you can't cash in.

1135
01:01:37,466 --> 01:01:39,866
Cash in, you probably don't like
hearing that word I bet.

1136
01:01:39,966 --> 01:01:41,899
You are so annoying.

1137
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,500
You are. You constantly whine
and complain about opportunities,

1138
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,600
and all you do is get beat down.

1139
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:51,266
You know what?
Why don't you just quit? Hmm?

1140
01:01:51,333 --> 01:01:53,100
Because I'm not like you.

1141
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,566
Unlike you, I actually have to fight
for everything that I have.

1142
01:01:56,666 --> 01:02:00,866
Unlike you, I have to actually fight
for an opportunity at that title.

1143
01:02:01,466 --> 01:02:03,299
So know this, Theory,

1144
01:02:03,399 --> 01:02:05,866
you can put me down,
but I'm going to get back up.

1145
01:02:05,966 --> 01:02:07,766
I'm going to get back in your face

1146
01:02:07,866 --> 01:02:10,933
and I'm going to become
the United States Champion.

1147
01:02:11,966 --> 01:02:13,066
Fine.

1148
01:02:13,166 --> 01:02:14,633
-You want your shot?
-Yeah.

1149
01:02:14,733 --> 01:02:16,333
-You want to shock the world?
-I do.

1150
01:02:16,433 --> 01:02:19,733
Then I suggest you go get ready
because we'll do it right here tonight.

1151
01:02:19,833 --> 01:02:22,566
After tonight, I don't ever,

1152
01:02:22,666 --> 01:02:28,533
ever want to hear the word "opportunity"
come out of your sorry mouth again.

1153
01:02:35,399 --> 01:02:37,666
[indistinct chatter]

1154
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,566
[waiter] Grab your drink, sir.

1155
01:02:41,666 --> 01:02:44,100
My Ugandan Prime Reserve
Grade A whiskey, right?

1156
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,399
Yes, sir.

1157
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:47,100
[laughs] You're a good young man.

1158
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,799
[overlapping chatter]

1159
01:02:51,533 --> 01:02:52,933
Hey, you out?

1160
01:02:53,033 --> 01:02:54,733
I fold.

1161
01:02:54,833 --> 01:02:56,200
Thank you.

1162
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,266
Look, gentlemen, ladies,

1163
01:03:00,166 --> 01:03:02,633
poker's really just a game
of brainsmanship, all right?

1164
01:03:02,733 --> 01:03:05,966
It's having the intelligence to know
when to push forward

1165
01:03:06,066 --> 01:03:07,533
and when to walk away.

1166
01:03:07,633 --> 01:03:09,600
Ha! Nerd! [laughs]

1167
01:03:10,033 --> 01:03:11,333
Shoooosh.

1168
01:03:11,433 --> 01:03:12,700
Nerd!

1169
01:03:12,799 --> 01:03:14,466
-Shoooosh.
-Nerd.

1170
01:03:14,566 --> 01:03:15,766
-Shoooosh.
-Nerd.

1171
01:03:15,866 --> 01:03:17,033
-Shoooosh.
-Nerd.

1172
01:03:17,133 --> 01:03:18,833
All right, all right.

1173
01:03:18,933 --> 01:03:21,133
Jeez, take a chill pill.

1174
01:03:21,233 --> 01:03:24,333
Look, I'm trying to get a read
on old freak show over here

1175
01:03:24,433 --> 01:03:26,633
and you guys are doing all that nonsense.

1176
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:30,266
All right…

1177
01:03:30,333 --> 01:03:32,933
You know what, I think you're bluffing.

1178
01:03:33,866 --> 01:03:35,866
I think I see through those eyes.

1179
01:03:35,966 --> 01:03:39,133
I think you got nothing in your hand,
nothing in your head.

1180
01:03:39,233 --> 01:03:40,833
I'm going to take all your money

1181
01:03:40,933 --> 01:03:43,100
and send you back to the looney bin
where you belong.

1182
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,333
You know what?

1183
01:03:45,433 --> 01:03:47,100
-I call.
-[man] Here we go.

1184
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,766
[all exclaiming]

1185
01:03:49,866 --> 01:03:52,899
-[man 2] That's a good hand there.
-Show me your cards.

1186
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,133
Show them.

1187
01:03:54,233 --> 01:03:57,066
[all exclaiming]

1188
01:03:57,166 --> 01:03:58,966
[man 3] Dexter wins again.

1189
01:03:59,799 --> 01:04:01,899
It's been this way all night.

1190
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,200
It's all night.

1191
01:04:03,299 --> 01:04:04,666
He's a savant.

1192
01:04:04,766 --> 01:04:06,100
I love croissants.

1193
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,666
-No, a savant. He's a savant.
-Well, how do they taste?

1194
01:04:08,766 --> 01:04:11,299
He's none of that. He's a cheater.

1195
01:04:11,399 --> 01:04:14,033
No way could you ever beat me.

1196
01:04:14,133 --> 01:04:16,566
I know you got cards in your sleeves,
in your gloves.

1197
01:04:16,666 --> 01:04:19,200
What is this? Don't defend him.
You know what?

1198
01:04:19,299 --> 01:04:23,500
I should stand up, walk over there,
and hand you a little…

1199
01:04:26,366 --> 01:04:29,066
-[all exclaiming]
-[Otis] Easy now!

1200
01:04:29,866 --> 01:04:32,266
-No foreign objects.
-I think he's legit.

1201
01:04:32,366 --> 01:04:34,466
-Good to me.
-Good lord.

1202
01:04:34,566 --> 01:04:36,333
Let's go, take his chips…

1203
01:04:36,433 --> 01:04:38,433
[all yelling indistinctly]

1204
01:04:40,466 --> 01:04:42,633
That's unacceptable!

1205
01:04:42,733 --> 01:04:44,133
What are you doing?

1206
01:04:44,266 --> 01:04:45,600
Thief!

1207
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,466
Thief?

1208
01:04:47,966 --> 01:04:49,799
This is my show.

1209
01:04:49,899 --> 01:04:52,033
Whatever I want, I get.

1210
01:04:52,133 --> 01:04:53,833
And if you have a problem with that,

1211
01:04:53,933 --> 01:04:56,700
then The Judgment Day
has a problem with you.

1212
01:04:56,799 --> 01:04:59,333
[laughs] I don't care.

1213
01:05:01,566 --> 01:05:03,633
You are the problem.

1214
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:06,633
You know what?

1215
01:05:06,733 --> 01:05:08,666
You're almost as short as my deadbeat dad.

1216
01:05:08,766 --> 01:05:10,466
Guys, guys, guys.

1217
01:05:10,566 --> 01:05:13,633
Look, I'm sure Tozawa is just as big
of a deadbeat as your dad.

1218
01:05:13,733 --> 01:05:16,233
I don't like him either,
but no fighting in here.

1219
01:05:16,333 --> 01:05:18,833
This is a classy establishment.

1220
01:05:18,933 --> 01:05:21,433
Go outside if you want to fight.

1221
01:05:22,899 --> 01:05:24,466
I'll see you in the ring.

1222
01:05:24,566 --> 01:05:25,833
Yeah. Yeah, you will.

1223
01:05:25,933 --> 01:05:28,533
[woman] Hey, that's not fair.

1224
01:05:28,633 --> 01:05:31,433
[inaudible chatter]

1225
01:05:33,700 --> 01:05:35,166
["A-Town Down" playing]

1226
01:05:35,233 --> 01:05:38,600
[Corey] A lot happening backstage.
Could we see Tozawa and Dominik?

1227
01:05:38,700 --> 01:05:40,233
[Kevin] Potentially. Let's get ready.

1228
01:05:40,333 --> 01:05:43,333
A second championship on Monday Night Raw.

1229
01:05:43,433 --> 01:05:44,833
What a night we're enjoying.

1230
01:05:44,933 --> 01:05:49,133
Here comes the United States Champion,
Austin Theory,

1231
01:05:49,933 --> 01:05:54,299
out to shut up and cast aside
Mustafa Ali once and for all,

1232
01:05:54,399 --> 01:05:57,066
and he's willing to put his title
on the line.

1233
01:05:57,166 --> 01:05:59,933
For Austin Theory,
what a November to remember it was.

1234
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,433
A failed Money in the Bank cash in
for the United States Championship,

1235
01:06:03,533 --> 01:06:06,666
triggered an aggression
and an obsession to claim it back.

1236
01:06:06,766 --> 01:06:10,500
At Survivor Series, Theory overcame
the odds to defeat Bobby Lashley

1237
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,700
and the then champion, Seth Rollins.

1238
01:06:12,799 --> 01:06:14,533
Now, he's the man that's being hunted.

1239
01:06:14,633 --> 01:06:18,866
[Corey] Austin Theory is simply
living up to the hype.

1240
01:06:18,966 --> 01:06:20,633
That's what we are witnessing.

1241
01:06:20,733 --> 01:06:24,366
As much as you love to drum up
old history about his failures,

1242
01:06:24,466 --> 01:06:27,600
let's talk about the here, and the now,

1243
01:06:28,233 --> 01:06:31,000
and that the forever begins tonight.

1244
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:34,966
Austin Theory in spectacular
physical condition

1245
01:06:35,066 --> 01:06:39,066
and this mental transition he has
undergone over the past several weeks

1246
01:06:40,533 --> 01:06:44,200
spelled big bright things
for Austin Theory's future.

1247
01:06:44,299 --> 01:06:46,899
["Problematic" playing]

1248
01:06:51,466 --> 01:06:54,466
[Kevin] His challenger tonight,
Mustafa Ali,

1249
01:06:54,566 --> 01:06:58,000
and the question is, why does Ali,
beat down after beat down,

1250
01:06:58,100 --> 01:07:01,600
still get up and chase
this United States Title?

1251
01:07:01,700 --> 01:07:04,000
He took to social media
earlier today saying,

1252
01:07:04,100 --> 01:07:06,700
"Despite being born here,
despite being an American,

1253
01:07:07,233 --> 01:07:09,500
despite being a former
Chicago police officer

1254
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:13,000
that wanted to protect people and
was willing to put his body on the line,

1255
01:07:13,100 --> 01:07:14,533
I'm not American enough."

1256
01:07:14,633 --> 01:07:17,866
"The United States Championship
means a lot to a lot of people,

1257
01:07:17,966 --> 01:07:20,366
but for me, it means I belong,

1258
01:07:20,466 --> 01:07:22,933
and that's what I've been
chasing my entire life."

1259
01:07:23,766 --> 01:07:25,066
[bell rings]

1260
01:07:25,166 --> 01:07:27,766
The following contest
scheduled for one fall

1261
01:07:27,866 --> 01:07:33,766
is for the United States Championship!

1262
01:07:36,666 --> 01:07:40,066
Introducing the challenger,
from Chicago, Illinois,

1263
01:07:40,166 --> 01:07:43,033
weighing in at 182 pounds,

1264
01:07:43,133 --> 01:07:47,033
Mustafa Ali!

1265
01:07:47,133 --> 01:07:49,566
[crowd cheering]

1266
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:55,266
And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia,

1267
01:07:55,366 --> 01:07:58,700
weighing in at 220 pounds,

1268
01:07:58,799 --> 01:08:03,899
he is the United States Champion,

1269
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,166
Austin Theory.

1270
01:08:08,266 --> 01:08:11,166
[crowd cheering]

1271
01:08:15,466 --> 01:08:18,566
[Corey] The stakes incredibly high
in this matchup.

1272
01:08:19,333 --> 01:08:21,200
As much as I respect and value

1273
01:08:21,266 --> 01:08:23,533
Austin Theory
as our United States Champion,

1274
01:08:23,633 --> 01:08:26,700
I don't know if this is the wisest
decision he's ever made,

1275
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,700
just offering Mustafa Ali,
who is always dangerous,

1276
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,833
this title opportunity on a whim
like tonight.

1277
01:08:32,933 --> 01:08:34,966
[Kevin] You think
he's underestimating Mustafa Ali?

1278
01:08:35,066 --> 01:08:36,333
[Corey] I'm not going that far.

1279
01:08:36,433 --> 01:08:39,966
I'm not saying this isn't something
Theory can emerge victorious from,

1280
01:08:40,066 --> 01:08:43,833
and maybe Austin Theory is more confident
than we even realize.

1281
01:08:43,933 --> 01:08:47,099
But you can never underestimate
Mustafa Ali.

1282
01:08:47,700 --> 01:08:51,200
Always motivated, always game,
always ready.

1283
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:54,633
But unfortunately for Ali,
this could be his final opportunity.

1284
01:08:55,266 --> 01:08:57,466
You're in the now, you hear me?

1285
01:08:59,433 --> 01:09:02,466
[Kevin] Last week on Raw,
Austin Theory rejected the advances

1286
01:09:02,566 --> 01:09:05,000
of Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

1287
01:09:05,099 --> 01:09:08,166
The anger. Theory flattened Mustafa Ali.

1288
01:09:08,233 --> 01:09:10,166
He said to Rollins, "I'll fight you,

1289
01:09:10,266 --> 01:09:13,266
but on the champ's time.
I ain't no damn kid."

1290
01:09:13,366 --> 01:09:15,766
Are we witnessing the maturation
of Austin Theory?

1291
01:09:15,866 --> 01:09:18,866
[Corey] Absolutely right we are.
That's exactly what we're witnessing.

1292
01:09:18,966 --> 01:09:23,666
We are witnessing Austin Theory
living up to the hype.

1293
01:09:23,766 --> 01:09:27,666
Growing in and realizing his potential.

1294
01:09:27,766 --> 01:09:30,300
Austin Theory, in my opinion
and the opinion of many,

1295
01:09:30,366 --> 01:09:34,233
is going to be a major player
here in WWE for years to come,

1296
01:09:34,333 --> 01:09:37,966
particularly this version of Theory.

1297
01:09:38,066 --> 01:09:41,033
Ali out of the way just in time.
Ali lives to play spoiler,

1298
01:09:41,133 --> 01:09:42,833
to be a disruptor.

1299
01:09:42,933 --> 01:09:45,000
-Wow!
-[Kevin] Certainly does.

1300
01:09:47,266 --> 01:09:49,866
[Corey] Ali sends Theory to the outside.
Here comes Ali.

1301
01:09:49,966 --> 01:09:51,666
[Kevin] Big boot.

1302
01:09:51,766 --> 01:09:53,800
Mustafa Ali now gaining momentum.

1303
01:09:54,633 --> 01:09:56,633
A victory would be absolutely enormous.

1304
01:09:56,733 --> 01:09:58,633
It's all he craves here in WWE,

1305
01:09:58,733 --> 01:10:00,500
is this United States Championship,

1306
01:10:00,599 --> 01:10:02,866
and he's rolling now on Austin Theory.

1307
01:10:02,966 --> 01:10:04,966
[Corey] Theory takes out-- Sorry.

1308
01:10:05,066 --> 01:10:07,366
Theory taken out by Ali
on the outside of the ring

1309
01:10:07,466 --> 01:10:09,766
and the challenger
in control at the moment.

1310
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:14,566
[Kevin] Theory breaks away.

1311
01:10:14,666 --> 01:10:16,500
Ali wants him back inside the ring.

1312
01:10:16,599 --> 01:10:18,099
Oh, man!

1313
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,866
Face first into the post.

1314
01:10:19,966 --> 01:10:23,233
[Austin] You're in the now,
do you hear me? You're in the now.

1315
01:10:23,333 --> 01:10:24,400
Come here.

1316
01:10:25,066 --> 01:10:26,933
[Corey] Mustafa Ali is in the now

1317
01:10:27,033 --> 01:10:29,666
and the challenger is in deep,
deep trouble.

1318
01:10:29,766 --> 01:10:30,700
[crowd booing]

1319
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,966
How does that feel, huh?
How does that feel?

1320
01:10:35,666 --> 01:10:37,333
[Kevin] Welcome back to Monday Night Raw.

1321
01:10:37,433 --> 01:10:39,966
Here goes Mustafa Ali teeing off
now on Austin Theory.

1322
01:10:40,066 --> 01:10:42,433
This is the United States
Championship Match,

1323
01:10:42,533 --> 01:10:45,800
a first defense in the second reign
for Austin Theory.

1324
01:10:46,833 --> 01:10:48,966
We know what this means for Mustafa Ali.

1325
01:10:49,066 --> 01:10:51,566
He'll go to any length to be successful
here in this match.

1326
01:10:51,666 --> 01:10:53,866
[Corey] Ali able to evade Theory,
connects with a kick.

1327
01:10:53,966 --> 01:10:56,633
Ali through the ropes,
into the neckbreaker.

1328
01:10:56,733 --> 01:10:58,433
The champion in trouble.

1329
01:10:58,533 --> 01:11:00,300
[crowd cheering]

1330
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,033
[Kevin] Feeding off the energy
of the WWE Universe.

1331
01:11:03,133 --> 01:11:05,800
Hang on a second. Mustafa collected by--

1332
01:11:05,900 --> 01:11:08,566
-Oh, backbreaker on Theory.
-[Corey] Cover.

1333
01:11:08,666 --> 01:11:12,366
[Kevin] Mustafa Ali to win the United
States Championship, and a kick out.

1334
01:11:12,466 --> 01:11:19,366
[Corey] It's nothing less than spectacular
that Mustafa Ali is still in this match

1335
01:11:19,466 --> 01:11:22,833
after enduring this impact
into the barricade,

1336
01:11:22,933 --> 01:11:26,633
which was just moments after Theory
launched him into the ring post.

1337
01:11:26,733 --> 01:11:32,333
Mustafa Ali showing his toughness,
his guts, his will here in D.C. tonight.

1338
01:11:32,433 --> 01:11:34,900
[Kevin] Vicious elbow rocks Mustafa Ali.

1339
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,433
"You are in the now,"
the words of Austin Theory.

1340
01:11:37,533 --> 01:11:39,266
"Don't talk about the future."

1341
01:11:40,033 --> 01:11:43,366
Hang on a second.
Mustafa Ali, where are you going?

1342
01:11:43,466 --> 01:11:45,133
[Corey] Oh, God!

1343
01:11:45,233 --> 01:11:46,599
[Kevin] Oh!

1344
01:11:46,700 --> 01:11:49,033
[Corey] I don't know who got
the worst of that exchange.

1345
01:11:49,133 --> 01:11:51,766
Ali went high risk.
I don't know if it paid off.

1346
01:11:51,866 --> 01:11:53,466
[Kevin] Theory's rocked.

1347
01:11:53,566 --> 01:11:57,300
[Corey] Ali into a Satellite DDT.
The champion's down.

1348
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:58,533
Ali scrambling.

1349
01:11:58,633 --> 01:12:01,766
[Kevin] Theory's in big trouble.
Into the cover, for the victory for Ali

1350
01:12:01,866 --> 01:12:03,200
and a kick out at two.

1351
01:12:04,833 --> 01:12:10,933
[Corey] A car crash scenario, we look
at how Ali was able to right the ship

1352
01:12:11,033 --> 01:12:13,200
almost instantaneously.

1353
01:12:13,300 --> 01:12:17,433
Great thinking on the fly for Mustafa Ali

1354
01:12:18,866 --> 01:12:22,533
to keep himself on top
in this matchup for the moment.

1355
01:12:22,599 --> 01:12:27,833
[Kevin] Mustafa Ali so close to his dream
of becoming United States Champion.

1356
01:12:28,500 --> 01:12:31,400
[Corey] Now, Ali, the challenger,
just brutalizing the champion.

1357
01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:39,366
Oh, Theory realized that Ali's
extremely dangerous on the top rope,

1358
01:12:39,466 --> 01:12:41,966
and Austin not about to let it happen.

1359
01:12:42,466 --> 01:12:44,433
[Kevin] Oh, this is Theory's chance now.

1360
01:12:44,966 --> 01:12:47,000
Kicking the midsection of Ali.

1361
01:12:47,099 --> 01:12:50,066
[Corey] This is the ruthlessness
that has taken Theory once again

1362
01:12:50,133 --> 01:12:54,533
to the top of Monday Night Raw's mountain
for the United States Championship.

1363
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,700
And The Now is just brutalizing
the challenger.

1364
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,166
[Kevin] He's not hanging around,

1365
01:13:00,266 --> 01:13:02,400
has newfound aggression.

1366
01:13:02,500 --> 01:13:04,033
Here we go again.

1367
01:13:04,133 --> 01:13:06,266
[grunting]

1368
01:13:08,233 --> 01:13:11,133
[Corey] Theory better be careful
not to get himself disqualified.

1369
01:13:11,233 --> 01:13:14,200
He's going to want to earn his
paycheck for-- Oh! What the hell?

1370
01:13:14,300 --> 01:13:15,433
[Kevin] It's Dolph Ziggler!

1371
01:13:15,533 --> 01:13:17,333
[Corey] Where the hell
did Ziggler come from?

1372
01:13:17,433 --> 01:13:19,266
[bell rings]

1373
01:13:21,166 --> 01:13:23,466
[Corey] That's going to force
a disqualification--

1374
01:13:23,566 --> 01:13:26,566
[announcer] Here's your winner
as a result of a disqualification,

1375
01:13:26,666 --> 01:13:32,166
and still your United States Champion,
Austin Theory.

1376
01:13:32,266 --> 01:13:34,633
[Kevin] What does that do for Mustafa Ali?

1377
01:13:34,733 --> 01:13:36,466
[Corey] It should piss him off.

1378
01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:39,800
[Kevin] This was his chance,
his opportunity.

1379
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,366
Hey, man. What did you do?

1380
01:13:42,466 --> 01:13:43,866
No, you're with me.

1381
01:13:43,966 --> 01:13:45,900
You don't do this to me.

1382
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,166
Hey, man. You just screwed me.

1383
01:13:48,266 --> 01:13:49,333
You just screwed me.

1384
01:13:49,433 --> 01:13:51,366
-What the hell did I do to you?
-Don't touch me.

1385
01:13:51,466 --> 01:13:53,333
What did I do to you?
Why'd you get involved?

1386
01:13:53,433 --> 01:13:55,566
I want to kill him.
I was getting some revenge.

1387
01:13:55,666 --> 01:13:57,300
-Are you kidding me?
-For all of us.

1388
01:13:58,433 --> 01:14:03,066
[Corey] Theory from behind now
bringing the fight to Dolph Ziggler.

1389
01:14:04,033 --> 01:14:08,333
The United States Champion
going to retain via disqualification.

1390
01:14:08,433 --> 01:14:10,433
This is not going to-- Oh, my God.

1391
01:14:10,533 --> 01:14:11,733
[Kevin] Oh, my.

1392
01:14:12,666 --> 01:14:14,200
[Corey] Ali's not getting up.

1393
01:14:14,300 --> 01:14:16,066
[crowd cheering]

1394
01:14:16,133 --> 01:14:17,800
[groaning]

1395
01:14:17,866 --> 01:14:21,933
That may have been the most violent
collision with a ring post I've ever seen,

1396
01:14:22,666 --> 01:14:28,266
and now Ziggler taking a trip A-Town Down.

1397
01:14:28,366 --> 01:14:30,666
[crowd cheering]

1398
01:14:33,333 --> 01:14:35,766
[Kevin] Is there any stopping this man?

1399
01:14:36,599 --> 01:14:39,933
Laying waste to Ziggler and Ali.

1400
01:14:40,666 --> 01:14:44,866
[Corey] Dolph Ziggler and Austin Theory
certainly have some history.

1401
01:14:44,966 --> 01:14:47,466
Ziggler's felt disrespected
by Theory in the past,

1402
01:14:51,866 --> 01:14:55,233
but take a look at The Now.

1403
01:14:55,333 --> 01:14:57,566
[crowd booing]

1404
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,433
[JBL] Man, I'm telling you,
this thing is awesome.

1405
01:15:02,533 --> 01:15:06,000
Texas Dolly couldn't put on a better poker
tournament than we're putting on now.

1406
01:15:06,099 --> 01:15:09,233
There are people there.
Money is freaking everywhere.

1407
01:15:09,333 --> 01:15:11,900
-JBL.
-Hold on. Just a minute.

1408
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,599
-Miz. So good to see you.
-Got a sec?

1409
01:15:13,700 --> 01:15:16,033
-Always for you.
-[laughs] You know,

1410
01:15:16,133 --> 01:15:19,533
I feel like there was
a slight oversight on your part

1411
01:15:19,633 --> 01:15:23,566
because I was never extended an invitation
to your invitational poker tournament.

1412
01:15:23,666 --> 01:15:26,133
-I had no idea you were a card player.
-Of course.

1413
01:15:26,233 --> 01:15:29,133
Yes, you're more than welcome
to join mid-game.

1414
01:15:29,233 --> 01:15:31,733
-Thank you.
-It's just a 50-dime buy-in.

1415
01:15:32,433 --> 01:15:36,066
Right… About that, to be honest with you,

1416
01:15:36,166 --> 01:15:41,400
after some of my… financial
improprieties I've endured lately,

1417
01:15:41,500 --> 01:15:43,566
I don't have liquid cash.

1418
01:15:43,666 --> 01:15:47,233
You know how the crypto market is,
but come on, JBL, you know me.

1419
01:15:47,333 --> 01:15:48,500
I'm good for it.

1420
01:15:48,599 --> 01:15:50,633
-Thank you.
-Miz, I'd love to have you,

1421
01:15:50,733 --> 01:15:54,333
but you really haven't been that
good on paying off your debts lately.

1422
01:15:54,433 --> 01:15:57,066
Everybody else paid cash.

1423
01:15:57,166 --> 01:15:58,566
Rolex.

1424
01:15:58,666 --> 01:16:00,900
-That's nice.
-I'll give you my Rolex.

1425
01:16:04,033 --> 01:16:05,666
You know that's not real.

1426
01:16:09,133 --> 01:16:11,533
The second hand, it ticks, it's--

1427
01:16:20,633 --> 01:16:22,633
I don't think The Miz is joining us, no.

1428
01:16:25,333 --> 01:16:27,900
-[man 1] On you, it's on you.
-[man 2] Okay.

1429
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,166
[man 2] I fold.

1430
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:30,866
Smart move.

1431
01:16:30,966 --> 01:16:33,133
Well, boys, read them and weep.

1432
01:16:33,233 --> 01:16:34,266
I've got quads.

1433
01:16:34,366 --> 01:16:36,300
-[all exclaiming]
-[man 3] Oh, come on!

1434
01:16:38,433 --> 01:16:42,433
Don't be mad.
Lady luck's on my side tonight.

1435
01:16:42,533 --> 01:16:44,466
[all exclaiming] Hey!

1436
01:16:44,566 --> 01:16:45,599
What is this?

1437
01:16:45,700 --> 01:16:47,433
-What is that?
-That's not mine.

1438
01:16:47,533 --> 01:16:49,866
-You've been cheating.
-I don't know where those came from.

1439
01:16:49,966 --> 01:16:53,066
-They came from your sleeve.
-Oh, don't call me a cheater.

1440
01:16:53,166 --> 01:16:55,366
-You are!
-[indistinct shouting]

1441
01:16:55,466 --> 01:16:57,800
-You are a cheater!
-Say it to my face, punk.

1442
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:00,933
-You're a cheater.
-Oh, I'm a cheater?

1443
01:17:01,033 --> 01:17:03,866
[indistinct shouting]

1444
01:17:03,966 --> 01:17:06,599
Stop it! You bunch of barbarians!

1445
01:17:06,700 --> 01:17:10,066
What is wrong with you?
You are ruining my tournament!

1446
01:17:10,166 --> 01:17:11,900
I have told you, no fighting!

1447
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:13,933
No fighting in this room.

1448
01:17:14,666 --> 01:17:15,833
Okay. Okay.

1449
01:17:16,666 --> 01:17:18,666
-Go over and get your gear on.
-Oh, yeah?

1450
01:17:18,766 --> 01:17:21,733
-Bring your two friends with you.
-You want it, you got it, punk.

1451
01:17:21,833 --> 01:17:23,566
You want it, you've got it.

1452
01:17:23,666 --> 01:17:25,966
You've got to be kidding me!

1453
01:17:26,066 --> 01:17:29,166
What is wrong with these idiots?

1454
01:17:38,533 --> 01:17:40,099
Guess we won, right?

1455
01:17:43,700 --> 01:17:45,233
Good poker, man.

1456
01:17:45,333 --> 01:17:46,966
Man, that was easy.

1457
01:17:47,066 --> 01:17:49,733
Great job, dude, real fun.
Get this stuff, come on.

1458
01:17:49,833 --> 01:17:51,333
Let's go.

1459
01:17:53,533 --> 01:17:55,533
Get it all. Get it all.

1460
01:17:55,599 --> 01:17:56,966
There we go.

1461
01:17:58,433 --> 01:18:01,033
Not only is he a stalker,
he's a thief as well.

1462
01:18:01,133 --> 01:18:03,766
I can't handle this Lumis guy,
who's under contract now.

1463
01:18:03,866 --> 01:18:06,633
I'm admiring the generosity
of one Dexter Lumis.

1464
01:18:06,733 --> 01:18:08,166
Now, folks, earlier on tonight,

1465
01:18:08,266 --> 01:18:10,366
we had the first of two
Triple Threat Matches

1466
01:18:10,466 --> 01:18:12,966
to help determine the Number One Contender

1467
01:18:13,066 --> 01:18:15,000
for the Raw Women's Championship.

1468
01:18:15,099 --> 01:18:19,433
This was one hell of a battle
between Rhea Ripley, Bayley, and Asuka.

1469
01:18:19,533 --> 01:18:23,099
[Corey] These were the closing moments
and Ripley seemed to dispose of Bayley,

1470
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,033
but here is where Rhea
took her eye off the ball.

1471
01:18:27,166 --> 01:18:32,433
Rhea would take a risk
and Bayley the veteran, a step ahead.

1472
01:18:32,500 --> 01:18:34,700
Crash and burn for The Eradicator.

1473
01:18:34,833 --> 01:18:38,666
Asuka attempted a dropkick,
and again, Bayley a step ahead.

1474
01:18:38,733 --> 01:18:42,733
She delivers a… Boom, Rose Plant
to The Empress of Tomorrow,

1475
01:18:42,833 --> 01:18:47,666
and Bayley has punched her ticket
to next week on Monday Night Raw

1476
01:18:47,766 --> 01:18:51,366
for an opportunity to become
Bianca Belair's next title contender.

1477
01:18:51,466 --> 01:18:54,033
[Kevin] No doubt Bayley will
be keeping her eye on Becky Lynch,

1478
01:18:54,133 --> 01:18:56,400
Alexa Bliss, and Nikki Cross,

1479
01:18:56,500 --> 01:18:59,666
that have a Triple Threat to come
later on tonight.

1480
01:19:04,066 --> 01:19:07,766
Please welcome my guest,
Raw Women's Champion, Bianca Belair.

1481
01:19:07,866 --> 01:19:10,200
[crowd cheering]

1482
01:19:11,666 --> 01:19:14,533
Bianca, next week Bayley
will go on to face the winner

1483
01:19:14,633 --> 01:19:16,700
of tonight's second Triple Threat Match.

1484
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,133
How do you feel knowing that
Bayley may, once again,

1485
01:19:19,233 --> 01:19:22,766
have the opportunity to face you
for your Raw Women's Championship?

1486
01:19:22,866 --> 01:19:26,500
What Bayley did tonight,
it was impressive,

1487
01:19:26,599 --> 01:19:29,266
but I also know how to handle Bayley,
just like I always do.

1488
01:19:29,366 --> 01:19:32,500
I would've been proud to face
any of these women that competed

1489
01:19:32,599 --> 01:19:36,233
in tonight's Triple Threat Matches,
even Rhea Ripley,

1490
01:19:36,333 --> 01:19:39,033
who could've handled that loss
a lot more gracefully

1491
01:19:39,133 --> 01:19:41,533
instead of taking her sore loser
frustrations out

1492
01:19:41,633 --> 01:19:43,900
on my WarGames teammate, Asuka.

1493
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,833
Well, as for next week,

1494
01:19:45,933 --> 01:19:50,266
who do you predict will face Bayley
from tonight's second Triple Threat Match?

1495
01:19:50,366 --> 01:19:56,466
Alexa, Nikki, Becky, they're all
dangerous competitors in their own way.

1496
01:19:56,566 --> 01:19:59,766
Alexa and I, we've grown a whole
lot closer over the past few months

1497
01:19:59,866 --> 01:20:03,366
and I see exactly why she was once
champion and running this division.

1498
01:20:03,466 --> 01:20:04,766
Now, Nikki, on the other hand,

1499
01:20:04,866 --> 01:20:09,500
she's just an unpredictable wild card
that can surprise any of us at any point.

1500
01:20:09,599 --> 01:20:15,966
Well, Becky, she's challenged me
more than any rival I've ever had,

1501
01:20:16,066 --> 01:20:18,266
but at the end of the day,
no matter who wins tonight,

1502
01:20:18,366 --> 01:20:20,133
they'll have to be ready for The EST,

1503
01:20:20,233 --> 01:20:22,966
because I stay ready,
so I don't have to get ready.

1504
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:28,666
[Kevin] Never a truer word spoken

1505
01:20:28,766 --> 01:20:31,233
from the Raw Women's Champion,
Bianca Belair.

1506
01:20:31,333 --> 01:20:34,000
["Emergence" playing]

1507
01:20:50,366 --> 01:20:51,800
[bell rings]

1508
01:20:51,900 --> 01:20:55,900
[announcer] The following contest
is a six-man Tag Team Match

1509
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,166
scheduled for one fall.

1510
01:20:58,266 --> 01:21:02,533
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring
by "Michin" Mia Yim,

1511
01:21:02,633 --> 01:21:07,300
Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson,
and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles,

1512
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:10,833
the O.C.!

1513
01:21:11,266 --> 01:21:15,099
[Kevin] Graves, we know about Baron Corbin
and his glory days in Las Vegas,

1514
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,666
but he may have cheated his way
into a beating here tonight.

1515
01:21:18,766 --> 01:21:21,233
Match to come against The O.C.

1516
01:21:25,333 --> 01:21:27,333
[Corey] That's one way
of looking at it, KP.

1517
01:21:27,433 --> 01:21:31,633
The O.C., Styles, Gallows, and Anderson,

1518
01:21:31,733 --> 01:21:34,566
will compete in a six-man tag team action

1519
01:21:34,633 --> 01:21:38,200
against Baron Corbin
and the Alpha Academy.

1520
01:21:38,966 --> 01:21:44,966
[Kevin] A match presented by DoorDash,
a neighborhood of good in every order.

1521
01:21:45,066 --> 01:21:46,733
Six-man tag.

1522
01:21:46,833 --> 01:21:52,333
The O.C. to take on the Alpha Academy
alongside Baron Corbin is next.

1523
01:21:59,666 --> 01:22:03,099
[Kevin] Earlier tonight, the Undisputed
Tag Team Championships were on line.

1524
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,666
Look at Sami Zayn here,
coming to the aid of Jey Uso.

1525
01:22:06,766 --> 01:22:09,033
Dragging Jey out of the way,
out of harm's way,

1526
01:22:09,133 --> 01:22:12,166
and helping The Usos pick up
a massive win, retaining their title.

1527
01:22:12,266 --> 01:22:16,266
[Corey] A tremendous, important display
of unity from the entire Bloodline,

1528
01:22:16,366 --> 01:22:19,900
including The Honorary Uce, who would draw
Riddle's attention long enough

1529
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:23,266
for The Usos to do what they do best.

1530
01:22:23,366 --> 01:22:25,466
Tag team expertise.

1531
01:22:25,566 --> 01:22:28,300
Riddle would fight to the best
of his ability,

1532
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:33,733
but eventually be overwhelmed
into the 1D from Jimmy and Jey

1533
01:22:33,833 --> 01:22:39,500
and still Undisputed
WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos.

1534
01:22:39,633 --> 01:22:42,266
[Kevin] Five-hundred-and-five days
as they roll into Friday

1535
01:22:42,333 --> 01:22:44,866
against Sheamus and Butch,
but it didn't stop there.

1536
01:22:44,966 --> 01:22:48,566
Kevin Owens chasing down The Usos
and Sami Zayn with a chair

1537
01:22:48,666 --> 01:22:50,900
and the enforcer, Solo Sikoa

1538
01:22:51,866 --> 01:22:53,333
with a beatdown on Riddle.

1539
01:22:53,433 --> 01:22:55,966
[Corey] "The Street Champion" Solo Sikoa

1540
01:22:56,066 --> 01:23:00,133
delivering an agonizing message
to The Original Bro

1541
01:23:00,233 --> 01:23:03,433
in the form of a Samoan Spike,

1542
01:23:04,099 --> 01:23:05,366
flattening Riddle,

1543
01:23:06,633 --> 01:23:11,033
and a painful reminder
that you don't step to The Bloodline.

1544
01:23:11,933 --> 01:23:14,566
[Kevin] And this truly did become
distressing scenes,

1545
01:23:15,366 --> 01:23:19,433
as Solo Sikoa went after Riddle
in the most gruesome of ways.

1546
01:23:19,966 --> 01:23:25,366
And this, the scene afterwards,
as Matt Riddle taken into an ambulance

1547
01:23:25,466 --> 01:23:29,433
and brought to a local hospital
here in Washington, D.C.

1548
01:23:29,533 --> 01:23:32,633
[Corey] We'll do our best to keep
you updated on Riddle's condition.

1549
01:23:32,733 --> 01:23:37,933
Keep your eyes on WWE's social media
accounts for all of the breaking details.

1550
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,066
[siren wailing]

1551
01:23:39,133 --> 01:23:41,733
We're going to send our best wishes
to The Original Bro

1552
01:23:42,266 --> 01:23:43,633
that this isn't too serious.

1553
01:23:43,733 --> 01:23:45,599
[Kevin] Yeah. All the best, Riddle.

1554
01:23:49,733 --> 01:23:51,300

here in Washington, D.C.

all over Baron Corbin

["Longhorn" playing]

1558
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,566

[announcer] Please welcome
WWE Hall of Famer,

1560
01:24:07,066 --> 01:24:12,099
John Bradshaw Layfield!

01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,300
["Burn The Ships" playing]

1562
01:24:21,433 --> 01:24:23,099
And their opponents, first,

1563
01:24:23,166 --> 01:24:25,633
weighing in at 285 pounds,

1564
01:24:25,700 --> 01:24:29,000
Baron Corbin!

1565
01:24:29,066 --> 01:24:32,400
[Corey] How often,
Kevin Patrick, is any sport

1566
01:24:32,466 --> 01:24:36,700
graced simultaneously with two deities?

1567
01:24:36,766 --> 01:24:42,233
We are looking at the original
wrestling god in JBL

1568
01:24:42,300 --> 01:24:48,833
and the emerging modern-day
wrestling god, Baron Corbin.

1569
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:51,800
I just feel bad that JBL's attempt
to have a nice night,

1570
01:24:51,866 --> 01:24:54,366
a nice enjoyable poker game
for all invited

1571
01:24:54,433 --> 01:24:56,099
was turned upside down by The O.C.

1572
01:24:56,166 --> 01:24:57,633
["Shoooosh" playing]

1573
01:24:57,700 --> 01:25:00,700

partners, Otis and Chad Gable,

01:25:00,766 --> 01:25:03,333
Alpha Academy!

1575
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,433
[Kevin] We certainly thought that

1576
01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:07,766
Baron Corbin
was rolling at the poker table.

1577
01:25:07,833 --> 01:25:10,633
JBL holding an invitational.

1578
01:25:10,700 --> 01:25:12,533
It wasn't the case, was it, Corey Graves?

1579
01:25:12,599 --> 01:25:14,400
Baron Corbin caught cheating.

1580
01:25:15,233 --> 01:25:16,566
[Corey] That's up for debate.

1581
01:25:16,633 --> 01:25:20,866
Until I see the body cam footage,
I won't believe it.

1582
01:25:20,933 --> 01:25:23,599

Do you realize what great value
JBL could provide for the Academy?

For the Alpha Academy? I mean…

01:25:55,533 --> 01:25:57,500
JBL is a wrestling god.

1593
01:25:57,566 --> 01:26:01,400
He's forgot more about this business
than most people ever know.

Welcome to ringside, sir.

business right now.

[Kevin] The match presented by DoorDash,
a neighborhood of good in every corner.

Pleasure to have you on commentary, JBL.

1600
01:26:14,766 --> 01:26:18,366
[Corey] I'd like to take this moment
to apologize in advance for anything

1601
01:26:18,433 --> 01:26:20,333
that this shamrock
to my left offends you with.

1602
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:24,433
[JBL] Apologize to the entire
WWE Universe that you exist, Shamrock.

1603
01:26:24,500 --> 01:26:25,966
[Corey] Take a look at Baron Corbin,

1604
01:26:26,033 --> 01:26:29,433
that heavy-handed,
modern-day wrestling god.

1605
01:26:30,099 --> 01:26:33,300
[JBL] Look at this. AJ Styles,
first-ballot Hall of Famer

1606
01:26:33,366 --> 01:26:36,533
and Baron Corbin is decimating him.

1607
01:26:36,599 --> 01:26:38,633
That is what you talk about.

1608
01:26:38,700 --> 01:26:42,300
Legit talent that transcends
the generation.

1609
01:26:42,366 --> 01:26:46,900
That's what that is.
That is a modern-day wrestling god.

1610
01:26:46,966 --> 01:26:48,200
[Corey] You love to see it.

1611
01:26:48,266 --> 01:26:51,266
We've been witnessing the emergence
of Baron Corbin

1612
01:26:51,333 --> 01:26:53,833
over the past several weeks
under the tutelage of, of course,

1613
01:26:53,900 --> 01:26:56,566
you, WWE Hall of Famer JBL.

1614
01:26:56,633 --> 01:26:58,066
Wait a minute.

1615
01:26:58,133 --> 01:27:00,466
I'm trying to say nice things
about Corbin,

1616
01:27:00,533 --> 01:27:03,099
and Styles has screwed it all up.

1617
01:27:03,166 --> 01:27:05,500
[JBL] Styles is a hothead
that does things like that.

1618
01:27:05,566 --> 01:27:09,133
You saw him in the poker tournament,
turned the whole thing into a disaster.

1619
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:10,466
Absolute disaster.

1620
01:27:10,533 --> 01:27:13,633
Texas Dolly, KidPoker
didn't have to deal with this,

1621
01:27:13,700 --> 01:27:15,400
and some reason I do.

1622
01:27:15,466 --> 01:27:17,966
[Kevin] Anderson and Chad Gable
now in the match,

1623
01:27:18,033 --> 01:27:19,733
JBL, with all due respect,

1624
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,233
was Corbin caught cheating
in your poker invitational?

1625
01:27:22,300 --> 01:27:24,133
[JBL] No, he wasn't caught cheating.

1626
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,833
That maniac from Crystal Lake
who didn't have a hockey mask on,

1627
01:27:26,900 --> 01:27:28,800
Jason or Lumis or whatever the heck
his name is,

1628
01:27:28,866 --> 01:27:31,266
those were his cards and he was cheating.

1629
01:27:31,333 --> 01:27:33,033
-Review the tape.
-[Corey] There you go.

1630
01:27:33,099 --> 01:27:35,500
See, I told you, Kevin Patrick.
There's always evidence.

1631
01:27:35,566 --> 01:27:37,266
The truth always comes out in the wash.

1632
01:27:37,333 --> 01:27:40,000
[Kevin] Your truth potentially.

1633
01:27:40,066 --> 01:27:43,133
Anderson, Gable off the rope.

1634
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,233
-Gable flattened Karl Anderson.
-Thank you!

1635
01:27:45,300 --> 01:27:46,933
[Corey] JBL, let me ask you this.

1636
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,900
You've gotten to watch Otis
and Chad Gable firsthand before.

1637
01:27:50,966 --> 01:27:54,933
What do the Alpha Academy need to do
to really step their game up?

1638
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,666
All they need is an opportunity.

1639
01:27:56,733 --> 01:27:59,933
You're looking at a huge, ballistic
Aristotle right now in Chad Gable.

1640
01:28:00,066 --> 01:28:03,066
He's one of the smartest guys
that WWE has ever had

1641
01:28:03,133 --> 01:28:06,333
and one of the greatest,
greatest mad technicians.

1642
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,433
Then you throw in the brawn of Otis.

1643
01:28:09,500 --> 01:28:13,099
These guys are future
WWE Tag Team Champions

1644
01:28:13,166 --> 01:28:14,633
that can carry the division.

1645
01:28:14,700 --> 01:28:17,666
[Corey] Mark it down. Write it
in your calendar, Kevin Patrick,

1646
01:28:17,733 --> 01:28:20,599
-the original wrestling god has spoken.
-Shoooosh!

1647
01:28:20,666 --> 01:28:22,266
-Shoooosh!
-And in all of this,

1648
01:28:22,333 --> 01:28:23,566
he still shooshes people.

1649
01:28:23,633 --> 01:28:25,833
You've already talked about
a future Hall of Famer.

1650
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:28,000
-[JBL] He needs to shoosh you.
-[both] Shoooosh!

1651
01:28:28,066 --> 01:28:32,500
-Like at the start of the show.
-[both] Shoooosh!

1652
01:28:32,566 --> 01:28:36,433
[Corey] I'm going to try Gallows' tactic.
Start calling KP a nerd.

1653
01:28:36,500 --> 01:28:37,800
Maybe that'll work.

1654
01:28:37,866 --> 01:28:41,366
Tag is made. Here comes Karl Anderson.

1655
01:28:41,433 --> 01:28:44,766
[Kevin] The Good Brothers going to work,
but Chad Gable responding.

1656
01:28:47,233 --> 01:28:51,366
Tag made and here comes your boy, JBL.
Baron Corbin.

1657
01:28:51,433 --> 01:28:54,900
[Corey] JBL, long before
you became a wrestling god,

1658
01:28:54,966 --> 01:28:59,300
you made quite a living for yourself as
a bit of a bar room brawler in the past.

1659
01:28:59,366 --> 01:29:01,966
Do you see any bit of that
in Gallows and Anderson?

1660
01:29:02,033 --> 01:29:04,066
[JBL] Absolutely. Gallows and Anderson.

1661
01:29:04,133 --> 01:29:05,733
Are you kidding me? The Good Brothers?

1662
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,099
One of the toughest,
roughest tag teams of all time.

1663
01:29:08,166 --> 01:29:12,733
I would love to have had The APA
fight Gallows and Anderson.

1664
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:16,033
-What a brawl that would be.
-[Corey] No doubt about it.

1665
01:29:16,099 --> 01:29:18,500
As we take a look at the power
of The Tree Trunk,

1666
01:29:18,566 --> 01:29:21,966
the number one guy
in the Alpha Academy, Otis.

1667
01:29:22,033 --> 01:29:25,433
[JBL] By the way, Shamrock,
he's not my boy, okay?

1668
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:29,733
You don't call a modern-day
wrestling god "Your boy."

1669
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,766
[Corey] That is blatant disrespect.

1670
01:29:31,833 --> 01:29:33,666
I have never been more
disappointed in you.

1671
01:29:33,733 --> 01:29:35,133
[Kevin] My apologies, John.

1672
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:41,633
Your modern-day wrestling god, Corbin,
going to work on Karl Anderson here.

1673
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:46,900
Have you seen a growth in Baron Corbin
since you've been working with him?

1674
01:29:46,966 --> 01:29:50,900
[JBL] Absolutely. What I've seen
is Baron Corbin reaching his potential.

1675
01:29:50,966 --> 01:29:52,866
Not that the potential wasn't there.

1676
01:29:52,933 --> 01:29:56,033
It always was there.
Look at this athleticism.

1677
01:29:56,099 --> 01:29:59,433
-[laughs] That is a collision.
-[Kevin] Wow!

1678
01:29:59,500 --> 01:30:01,433
-One, two…
-For the victory, Baron Corbin,

1679
01:30:01,500 --> 01:30:05,066
-Anderson kicking out.
-Count to three! Three!

1680
01:30:05,133 --> 01:30:06,266
[JBL] All the impact.

1681
01:30:06,333 --> 01:30:10,366
[Corey] Let's take another look at this
and listen to the impact of Baron Corbin,

1682
01:30:10,433 --> 01:30:13,266
that sounded like
an Alexander Ovechkin slap shot

1683
01:30:13,333 --> 01:30:15,266
across the chest of Karl Anderson.

1684
01:30:15,333 --> 01:30:18,066
-Hey, JBL!
-[laughs] Go get them, Baron.

1685
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,166
[Kevin] How was
the poker tournament anyway?

1686
01:30:22,233 --> 01:30:24,333
[JBL] I thought the poker tournament
was excellent.

1687
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,733
Texas Dolly called me during
the poker tournament from Longview, Texas,

1688
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,533
and told me how great it was
and he wants to be a part of it.

1689
01:30:32,533 --> 01:30:35,900
[Corey] Corbin right now
taking Karl Anderson apart

1690
01:30:35,966 --> 01:30:38,866
with these 12-6 elbows
across the shoulder.

1691
01:30:42,766 --> 01:30:46,033
All the rest of The O.C. can do
is look on.

1692
01:30:46,099 --> 01:30:48,733
You see Gable doing that grin
and crab walk.

1693
01:30:52,366 --> 01:30:55,800
[Kevin] Corbin taking his time here
with Karl Anderson.

1694
01:30:55,866 --> 01:30:59,266
-[Corey] Anderson stumbles.
-[Kevin] Tag made. Here comes AJ Styles.

1695
01:30:59,333 --> 01:31:01,133
[crowd cheering]

1696
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:02,833
[JBL] Watch it, Baron.

1697
01:31:04,166 --> 01:31:07,733
[Kevin] Oh, an elbow rocks Chad Gable,
taking out Otis as well.

1698
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:10,766
Styles going to work now on Baron Corbin.

1699
01:31:11,599 --> 01:31:14,466
[Corey] Corbin is down.
Styles beginning to roll.

1700
01:31:14,533 --> 01:31:16,433
-Oh!
-[JBL] Uh-oh.

1701
01:31:16,500 --> 01:31:18,833
-[Corey] Brilliant!
-[JBL] Pugilistic Aristotle.

1702
01:31:18,900 --> 01:31:24,500
-I told you. Oh, what a team! What a team!
-Shoooosh!

1703
01:31:24,566 --> 01:31:27,666
-[Corey] The O.C. are in trouble.
-Thank you!

1704
01:31:31,900 --> 01:31:35,000
[Kevin] Welcome back, folks.
We're watching this six-man tag.

1705
01:31:35,066 --> 01:31:38,266
It's The O.C. taking on Baron Corbin
and the Alpha Academy.

1706
01:31:38,333 --> 01:31:40,900
Hall of Famer JBL
joining us on commentary.

1707
01:31:40,966 --> 01:31:42,566
[Corey] Gracing us, KP.

1708
01:31:42,633 --> 01:31:44,800
He's gracing us at the commentary desk.

1709
01:31:44,866 --> 01:31:47,733
WWE Hall of Famer,
the original wrestling god.

1710
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:50,500
JBL, how much have you enjoyed
watching the Alpha Academy

1711
01:31:50,566 --> 01:31:52,166
and Baron Corbin work together tonight?

1712
01:31:52,233 --> 01:31:54,066
[JBL] This is a well-oiled team.

1713
01:31:54,133 --> 01:31:57,933
Look at this, AJ Styles
is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

1714
01:31:58,000 --> 01:31:59,433
and they are decimating him.

1715
01:31:59,500 --> 01:32:03,133
This match may end any second.

1716
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,866
A thunderous splash
by the number one guy, Otis,

1717
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,266
squashing Styles like a bug mid-ring.

1718
01:32:12,333 --> 01:32:14,466
[Kevin] Tag made for Baron Corbin.

1719
01:32:14,533 --> 01:32:16,366
JBL, you've said before
it was Baron Corbin

1720
01:32:16,433 --> 01:32:19,233
that ended Kurt Angle's career
at WrestleMania.

1721
01:32:19,300 --> 01:32:22,400
Kurt Angle a man that will be celebrated
this Friday night on SmackDown

1722
01:32:22,466 --> 01:32:25,300
on his birthday in his hometown
of Pittsburgh.

1723
01:32:25,366 --> 01:32:27,933
[JBL] Yes. Maybe on his birthday,
he'll bring up the fact

1724
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,266
that he was retired by the modern-day
wrestling god Baron Corbin.

1725
01:32:31,333 --> 01:32:34,766
Oh, right-hand, good night. Good night.

1726
01:32:34,833 --> 01:32:37,233
[Kevin] Corbin's chance
to put away Styles,

1727
01:32:37,300 --> 01:32:39,533
and a kick out by The Phenomenal One.

1728
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:45,266
[JBL] Amazing how
all these flippy floppies.

1729
01:32:45,333 --> 01:32:48,266
Bam, right hand stops all of it,

1730
01:32:48,333 --> 01:32:52,433
all these flips, all these flops,
all these tickles, all these tackles.

1731
01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:55,366
"Why has it always got to be so pretty,"
as Stan Hansen would say,

1732
01:32:55,433 --> 01:32:58,066
sometimes you just need
to knock somebody out.

1733
01:33:01,133 --> 01:33:03,266
[Kevin] Gable with kicks
to the midsection of Styles.

1734
01:33:03,333 --> 01:33:05,166
[Corey] I think that right hand by Corbin

1735
01:33:05,233 --> 01:33:07,066
might have put Derek Chisora
back to sleep.

1736
01:33:07,933 --> 01:33:13,800
[JBL laughs] Look at this, that is
the old Pat O'Connor armbar.

1737
01:33:13,866 --> 01:33:16,433
[Corey] A master technician, Chad Gable.

1738
01:33:18,933 --> 01:33:21,833
I can't believe the disrespect
by the WWE Universe

1739
01:33:21,900 --> 01:33:25,099
here in Washington, D.C., John,
our nation's capital,

1740
01:33:25,166 --> 01:33:28,900
and the lack of respect they have
for an Olympian like Gable.

1741
01:33:28,966 --> 01:33:31,733
[JBL] You would think people would
just line up and cheer

1742
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,733
for somebody like Chad Gable, a smart,
young man, good-looking young man.

1743
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,566
And here he is having to fight his way

1744
01:33:37,633 --> 01:33:40,166
out of these barroom brawlers
that he's against.

1745
01:33:40,233 --> 01:33:42,400
[Kevin] Double fist
connects with Karl Anderson.

1746
01:33:42,466 --> 01:33:44,700
[Corey] John, I'm glad you're out here
to keep an eye

1747
01:33:44,766 --> 01:33:48,466
on "Michin" Mia Yim who's been prowling
around ringside like a binturong.

1748
01:33:48,533 --> 01:33:51,400
You got to keep an eye on her.
She's dangerous. All the time.

1749
01:33:51,466 --> 01:33:53,033
[Kevin] Tag made. Here comes Gallows.

1750
01:33:53,099 --> 01:33:55,266
-[JBL] She shouted at me earlier.
-[Corey] I know.

1751
01:33:55,333 --> 01:33:57,333
Maybe it's something in the water
here in D.C.

1752
01:33:57,400 --> 01:33:59,433
[Kevin] Hang a second,
what's going on here?

1753
01:33:59,500 --> 01:34:04,400
[Corey] Oh, I can tell you.
Deep Six. That's what's going on here.

1754
01:34:04,466 --> 01:34:06,166
-[JBL] Ball game.
-[Kevin] Gable…

1755
01:34:06,233 --> 01:34:07,766
-One, two…
-…to put away Styles,

1756
01:34:07,833 --> 01:34:11,633
kick out at two by AJ Styles.
Gable can't believe it.

1757
01:34:11,700 --> 01:34:15,000
[Corey] Take a look at this,
the Academy and Corbin capitalizing

1758
01:34:15,066 --> 01:34:18,466
on the chaos, Deep Six,
deep hook of the leg,

1759
01:34:18,533 --> 01:34:22,766
and deep disappointment
that Styles kicked out before three.

1760
01:34:23,900 --> 01:34:26,599
[Kevin] AJ Styles and The O.C.
still in this match,

1761
01:34:26,666 --> 01:34:29,166
a crushing blow from the big body of Otis.

1762
01:34:29,233 --> 01:34:31,266
[JBL] What an incredible team.

1763
01:34:31,333 --> 01:34:34,099
You have Chad, and Otis,
and Baron Corbin together.

1764
01:34:34,166 --> 01:34:37,466
[Corey] JBL, talk about the special
blend of size, speed, and power

1765
01:34:37,533 --> 01:34:39,500
that is Otis.

1766
01:34:39,566 --> 01:34:43,300
-[JBL] Otis is--
-[Corey] Oh, no.

1767
01:34:43,366 --> 01:34:45,633
Maybe you should give Otis some advice.

1768
01:34:45,700 --> 01:34:49,366
Let's not talk about how strong
and powerful and fast he is right now.

1769
01:34:49,433 --> 01:34:51,266
Otis needs to make a tag as does Styles.

1770
01:34:51,333 --> 01:34:53,566
[Kevin] Styles getting closer.

1771
01:34:53,633 --> 01:34:58,466
Otis, tag made on both ends,
Anderson, Chad Gable into the match.

1772
01:34:58,533 --> 01:35:00,800
Clothesline takes out Gable twice.

1773
01:35:03,566 --> 01:35:05,966
Look at Anderson go now.

1774
01:35:06,033 --> 01:35:09,099
Oh, Senton all over Gable.

1775
01:35:10,166 --> 01:35:12,333
[Corey] Knee drops Corbin to the outside.

1776
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,700
Here comes Gable yet again.
Anderson from the second rope.

1777
01:35:16,900 --> 01:35:19,099
-[Kevin] Oh!
-[Corey] Neckbreaker.

1778
01:35:19,166 --> 01:35:22,133
-[Kevin] Is this the moment for The O.C.?
-[JBL] Come on, Gable!

1779
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:23,700
[Kevin] Kick out. Kick out by Gable.

1780
01:35:23,766 --> 01:35:25,300
[Corey] He heard you, JBL.

1781
01:35:25,366 --> 01:35:27,700
[Kevin] A little bit nervous
over there, JBL?

1782
01:35:27,766 --> 01:35:29,266
[JBL] No. I'm not nervous.

1783
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:34,833
The man has the brains of Plato,
the fighting ability of Hercules.

1784
01:35:34,900 --> 01:35:37,700
[Corey] Anderson's got brains
of playdough.

1785
01:35:37,766 --> 01:35:40,333
Oh, beautiful leg pick by Gable.

1786
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:42,433
[JBL] Oh-ho. Look at that.

1787
01:35:42,500 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaking of the Olympian from Pittsburgh,
we got us a little ankle lock.

1788
01:35:47,266 --> 01:35:50,066
[Kevin] Well out by Karl Anderson.

1789
01:35:50,133 --> 01:35:51,466
[Corey] Oh!

1790
01:35:52,433 --> 01:35:55,533
[Kevin] Karl Anderson
to put away Chad Gable.

1791
01:35:55,599 --> 01:35:59,099
Baron Corbin,
right place at the right time.

1792
01:36:00,599 --> 01:36:03,266
-[JBL] Uh-oh.
-[Corey] …breaker

1793
01:36:03,333 --> 01:36:06,300
from Corbin and an elbow
rocks big Luke Gallows.

1794
01:36:06,366 --> 01:36:08,599
Anderson sent to the corner.

1795
01:36:08,666 --> 01:36:13,033
-[JBL] Corbin is running roughshod.
-[Kevin] The pace of Baron Corbin.

1796
01:36:13,099 --> 01:36:14,866
-Oh, AJ. Wow!
-[JBL] Bam!

1797
01:36:14,933 --> 01:36:16,266
[Corey] Like a car wreck.

1798
01:36:16,333 --> 01:36:18,233
[Kevin] The big boot from Gallows.

1799
01:36:18,833 --> 01:36:20,666
The two big men go at it.

1800
01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:24,000
Otis just picks up Luke Gallows with ease.

1801
01:36:24,066 --> 01:36:27,266
-[Corey] Oh, my good God!
-[JBL] Pure power.

1802
01:36:28,133 --> 01:36:31,333
[Kevin] AJ Styles, Phenomenal Forearm.

1803
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,566
[Corey] The Tree Trunk is down,
but Gable from behind.

1804
01:36:36,500 --> 01:36:38,500
-Beautiful German suplex.
-Thank you!

1805
01:36:38,566 --> 01:36:39,599
[JBL] He was launched.

1806
01:36:39,666 --> 01:36:42,099
[Kevin] He has no idea
where Karl Anderson is.

1807
01:36:42,166 --> 01:36:44,766
-Gable turns it around.
-[JBL] What a thing of beauty.

1808
01:36:47,633 --> 01:36:52,333
[Kevin] Oh! Vicious right from Anderson
and again from Gable.

1809
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:53,633
Oh!

1810
01:36:54,333 --> 01:36:57,866
[Corey] Anderson wins that exchange,
but the match continues.

1811
01:36:57,933 --> 01:37:03,166
The O.C., the Academy and Baron Corbin,
six-man tag team action.

1812
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,133
Take another look at the uppercut
from Anderson.

1813
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:09,333
[JBL] What a hell of a match, guys.

1814
01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,233
[Corey] No doubt about it.

1815
01:37:12,500 --> 01:37:15,566
[Kevin] Those Good Brothers love
an uppercut. Look at Chad Gable now.

1816
01:37:15,633 --> 01:37:18,533
[JBL] After a terrific poker tournament.
Here we go.

1817
01:37:18,599 --> 01:37:21,599
Gallows is not legal,
what the hell is the referee doing?

1818
01:37:21,666 --> 01:37:23,500
This is like they were cheating in cards.

1819
01:37:23,566 --> 01:37:25,633
[Kevin] Looking for the Magic Killer.

1820
01:37:25,700 --> 01:37:27,433
[JBL] Wait a minute.
What the hell was that?

1821
01:37:27,500 --> 01:37:29,233
-[Corey] You can't count that!
-[bell rings]

1822
01:37:29,300 --> 01:37:31,633
[JBL] They cheated in cards,
they cheated in life,

1823
01:37:31,700 --> 01:37:33,033
they cheated in wrestling.

1824
01:37:33,099 --> 01:37:35,433
[announcer] Here are your winners,
The O.C.!

1825
01:37:35,500 --> 01:37:37,466
["Emergence" playing]

1826
01:37:37,533 --> 01:37:39,500
[JBL] What are these people cheering for?

1827
01:37:39,566 --> 01:37:42,033
What is wrong with the people
of Washington, D.C.?

1828
01:37:42,099 --> 01:37:44,300
Although that's going
to take a little bit longer

1829
01:37:44,366 --> 01:37:46,033
than we have tonight to talk about.

1830
01:37:46,099 --> 01:37:48,200
No wonder our nation's capital
is so screwed up.

1831
01:37:48,266 --> 01:37:51,000
They cheated in poker,
they cheated in wrestling,

1832
01:37:51,066 --> 01:37:53,233
they cheated in life.

1833
01:37:53,300 --> 01:37:56,300
They cheated on their good looks
because they're are all ugly.

1834
01:37:59,166 --> 01:38:01,366
[Kevin] The O.C. reigns supreme

1835
01:38:01,433 --> 01:38:03,733
-over the Academy--
-[JBL] Shut up!

1836
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,033
-[Kevin] And, Corey--
-[JBL] Shut up, Shamrock.

1837
01:38:08,233 --> 01:38:12,833
[Kevin] A look backstage
at Triple Crown Champion, Alexa Bliss,

1838
01:38:12,900 --> 01:38:16,599
one of the most decorated Superstars
in the female locker room,

1839
01:38:16,666 --> 01:38:20,966
but she has not seen singles success
in over four years.

1840
01:38:21,033 --> 01:38:26,666
What will we see from Alexa Bliss
when we return to Triple Threat action?

1841
01:38:30,500 --> 01:38:32,566
[Kevin] We're thrilled to be
in our nation's capital

1842
01:38:32,633 --> 01:38:33,866
of Washington, D.C. tonight,

1843
01:38:33,933 --> 01:38:38,433
at the home of NHL's Washington Capitals,
the Wizards of the NBA,

1844
01:38:38,500 --> 01:38:40,700
here inside the Capital One Arena.

1845
01:38:40,766 --> 01:38:42,800
Does Johansson still play here?

1846
01:38:42,866 --> 01:38:43,933
No idea.

1847
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,099
Let's go backstage now to Byron Saxton.

1848
01:38:49,233 --> 01:38:51,200
Welcome back to Monday Night Raw

1849
01:38:51,266 --> 01:38:54,900
where at this time I'd like
to welcome my guest, Candice LeRae.

1850
01:38:56,099 --> 01:38:59,800
Candice, congratulations on
a successful return to the ring last week

1851
01:38:59,866 --> 01:39:02,833
and a victory over Dakota Kai
which is no easy feat.

1852
01:39:02,900 --> 01:39:04,866
However, because of that victory,

1853
01:39:04,933 --> 01:39:08,800
you will now have to face Dakota's
Damage CTRL partner Iyo Sky

1854
01:39:08,866 --> 01:39:11,766
next week on Monday Night Raw.

1855
01:39:11,833 --> 01:39:16,800
So, do you feel like now you're
a marked woman by Damage CTRL?

1856
01:39:16,866 --> 01:39:18,633
Absolutely. I do. Um…

1857
01:39:19,666 --> 01:39:24,166
I may be new to Raw, but I've known
all those women for very long time now.

1858
01:39:24,233 --> 01:39:28,599
Last week, I returned from an injury
that they were responsible for.

1859
01:39:29,566 --> 01:39:31,433
I had to send them a message.

1860
01:39:32,099 --> 01:39:35,366
Yes, I'm here, same old pixie wings,

1861
01:39:36,266 --> 01:39:37,966
but I'm a new mom.

1862
01:39:38,033 --> 01:39:41,400
And I have so much more to fight for now.

1863
01:39:41,466 --> 01:39:44,966
I'm not going to let anybody,
anybody push me around.

1864
01:39:46,300 --> 01:39:48,533
-Hey, wife.
-Hey, hubby.

1865
01:39:48,599 --> 01:39:50,200
-How are you?
-Yeah, I'm good.

1866
01:39:50,266 --> 01:39:52,633
-How did the poker thing go?
-Guess we won.

1867
01:39:52,700 --> 01:39:54,133
-What?
-Yeah. I don't know.

1868
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:55,733
-What?
-Yeah, Dexter killed it.

1869
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,000
-Look all this money we got.
-What the--

1870
01:40:00,933 --> 01:40:03,933
Hey, I hate to be that guy, but--

1871
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:05,800
-A lot of money.
-That's a lot of money.

1872
01:40:05,866 --> 01:40:08,133
-We're going to spend it.
-Yeah, do your thing.

1873
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:09,733
Thank you. Sorry. Thanks.

1874
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:11,666
-We could get the baby--
-We'll talk about it.

1875
01:40:11,733 --> 01:40:13,500
No, no, no. We'll talk about it.

1876
01:40:13,566 --> 01:40:16,033
-[Gargano] Let's go.
-["To The Death" playing]

1877
01:40:16,099 --> 01:40:18,533
[Corey] I have so many questions
about the relationship

1878
01:40:18,599 --> 01:40:20,133
between Gargano, LeRae, and Lumis.

1879
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:21,366
It's a little odd to me.

1880
01:40:21,433 --> 01:40:23,433
Like something you'd see on back page.

1881
01:40:23,500 --> 01:40:25,566
[Kevin] I have questions
about Akira Tozawa.

1882
01:40:25,633 --> 01:40:27,866
I want to see him
in poker tournaments more often.

1883
01:40:27,933 --> 01:40:30,233
["It's My Time" playing]

1884
01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:00,400
[announcer] And his opponent,
accompanied to the ring by Finn Bálor,

1885
01:41:00,466 --> 01:41:03,000
Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest,

1886
01:41:03,066 --> 01:41:06,633
representing The Judgment Day,

1887
01:41:06,700 --> 01:41:11,200
Dominik Mysterio!

1888
01:41:11,266 --> 01:41:15,866
[Kevin] We saw Dominik Mysterio
head to JBL's poker invitational alone.

1889
01:41:15,933 --> 01:41:20,866
Alone no more, as he heads toward
the ring to take on Akira Tozawa

1890
01:41:20,933 --> 01:41:24,533
who he tried to steal poker chips from
at the invitational.

1891
01:41:24,599 --> 01:41:30,166
He brings ammo in the form of Finn Bálor,
Damian Priest, and Rhea Ripley.

1892
01:41:30,233 --> 01:41:34,900
[Corey] Let's talk about the ammo
that Dominik Mysterio provides himself.

1893
01:41:34,966 --> 01:41:37,799
The son of a sure-fire
future Hall of Famer,

1894
01:41:37,866 --> 01:41:40,733
although I know Dominik doesn't like it
when we talk about Rey,

1895
01:41:40,799 --> 01:41:43,466
we are witnessing the evolution of Dominik

1896
01:41:43,533 --> 01:41:49,766
into a full-blown, legitimate,
threatening WWE superstar

1897
01:41:49,833 --> 01:41:52,900
and living, breathing Lothario.

1898
01:41:52,966 --> 01:41:56,166
I'm not talking about Los Lotharios
on Friday Night SmackDown.

1899
01:41:56,233 --> 01:41:58,366
I'm talking about one of a kind,

1900
01:41:58,433 --> 01:42:02,366
the apple of women's eyes
across the globe,

1901
01:42:02,433 --> 01:42:05,200
starting with Ripley,
all the way to Kardashian,

1902
01:42:05,266 --> 01:42:07,366
and all the genders in between.

1903
01:42:07,433 --> 01:42:12,099
This guy is like the Pete Davidson of WWE
if you know what I'm talking about.

1904
01:42:12,166 --> 01:42:14,933
[Kevin] Dominik Mysterio was on
WWE's The Bump during the week.

1905
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:19,500
He told the audience that he's not invited
to the Mysterio household for Christmas.

1906
01:42:19,566 --> 01:42:22,200
He's going to wait and see what
Mami wants to do for Christmas

1907
01:42:22,266 --> 01:42:24,066
-referring to Rhea Ripley.
-[bell rings]

1908
01:42:24,133 --> 01:42:26,500
-[Corey] Can you blame him?
-Here we go, one-on-one action,

1909
01:42:26,566 --> 01:42:28,599
Akira Tozawa and Dominik Mysterio.

1910
01:42:28,666 --> 01:42:31,799
Mysterio riling up Akira Tozawa earlier,

1911
01:42:31,866 --> 01:42:34,166
trying to steal a few poker chips
from him.

1912
01:42:36,333 --> 01:42:39,266
[Corey] What are you ranting and raving
about poker chips for?

1913
01:42:39,333 --> 01:42:41,599
Let's about Mysterio,
let's talk about love,

1914
01:42:41,666 --> 01:42:46,633
let's talk about the motivation,
the mutual admiration that--

1915
01:42:46,700 --> 01:42:50,000
-[Kevin] Oh! Akira Tozawa.
-…that Rhea Ripley and Dominik

1916
01:42:50,066 --> 01:42:51,833
have displayed for one another.

1917
01:42:51,900 --> 01:42:53,700
Truly, like, ride or die love.

1918
01:42:53,766 --> 01:42:55,966
[Kevin] You really are fascinated
by it, aren't you?

1919
01:42:56,033 --> 01:42:58,366
[Corey] Of course I am.
I'm a sucker for romance.

1920
01:42:58,433 --> 01:43:01,833
[Kevin] You're too infatuated by it.
Oh, face first into the turnbuckle.

1921
01:43:01,900 --> 01:43:03,333
[Corey] Me? I'm infatuated?

1922
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,266
Did you ever search Twitter
after one of these segments?

1923
01:43:06,333 --> 01:43:08,033
It's weird.

1924
01:43:08,099 --> 01:43:09,833
[crowd booing]

1925
01:43:09,900 --> 01:43:12,133
[Kevin] A wry smile
on the face of Rhea Ripley.

1926
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:14,566
[Corey] Mami likes what she sees.

1927
01:43:16,433 --> 01:43:20,599
[Kevin] We saw Akira Tozawa in action
few weeks ago against Baron Corbin.

1928
01:43:20,666 --> 01:43:22,366
That suplex from Dominik Mysterio.

1929
01:43:22,433 --> 01:43:25,933
[Corey] Listen, Akira Tozawa
is an incredibly talented competitor,

1930
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:27,633
a world-traveled competitor,

1931
01:43:27,700 --> 01:43:31,133
a legitimate threat
night in and night out,

1932
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,200
but when it comes to love,
Tozawa's been left in the dust

1933
01:43:34,266 --> 01:43:35,833
time after time.

1934
01:43:35,900 --> 01:43:38,133
-Not like Dominik.
-[Tozawa groans]

1935
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,333
[Kevin] The power and the muscle
on show from Dominik

1936
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,633
looking to put away Akira Tozawa
who kicks out.

1937
01:43:43,700 --> 01:43:46,200
[Corey] You have to have
a facial structure of a certain type

1938
01:43:46,266 --> 01:43:49,066
to pull off a hairdo
like Dominik Mysterio does.

1939
01:43:49,133 --> 01:43:51,466
I don't have it.
You don't have it. Not many do.

1940
01:43:51,533 --> 01:43:54,066
And no one has Rhea Ripley by their side.

1941
01:43:58,500 --> 01:44:01,500
[Kevin] Dominik
just punishing Akira Tozawa.

1942
01:44:01,566 --> 01:44:03,700
Oh, Akira turning it around.

1943
01:44:06,466 --> 01:44:08,566
[Corey] Oh, no. Shining Wizard rocks Dom.

1944
01:44:08,633 --> 01:44:10,266
[Kevin] Connects with Dominik Mysterio.

1945
01:44:10,333 --> 01:44:12,099
-Hook of the leg for the win.
-One, two…

1946
01:44:12,166 --> 01:44:13,200
Kick out by Dominik.

1947
01:44:16,866 --> 01:44:21,166
[Corey] Tozawa better be careful
not to draw the ire of Rhea Ripley

1948
01:44:21,233 --> 01:44:23,666
on the outside
as we look again at the Shining Wizard

1949
01:44:23,733 --> 01:44:27,166
that nearly knocked off Dominik,
and a big-time kick connects.

1950
01:44:27,966 --> 01:44:32,333
[Kevin] So far, Akira Tozawa really
impressing here, as Priest,

1951
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:36,033
Bálor, and Ripley can only watch on.
Another kick to the head of Dominik.

1952
01:44:37,133 --> 01:44:42,233
[Corey] Oh, no. Dominik might succumb
to the power of Tozawa.

1953
01:44:42,299 --> 01:44:44,799
[Kevin] Clearly, Dominik's
underestimating Akira Tozawa

1954
01:44:44,866 --> 01:44:46,933
who wants to take flight here.

1955
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:48,500
[Rhea] No. No. No!

1956
01:44:48,566 --> 01:44:52,700
[Corey] Uh-oh! Looking for the senton.
Nobody home.

1957
01:44:52,766 --> 01:44:56,133
-[Kevin] Scouted by Dominik.
-Oh, that would have hurt so bad.

1958
01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:58,033
[Corey] With a warning from Rhea.

1959
01:44:58,099 --> 01:45:01,533
Now Dominik going to show
everyone how it's done.

1960
01:45:01,599 --> 01:45:02,733
[Rhea] Crush him.

1961
01:45:02,799 --> 01:45:05,633
[Corey] Watch this little shimmy.
It makes the women crazy.

1962
01:45:05,700 --> 01:45:06,700
[Rhea] Yes.

1963
01:45:06,766 --> 01:45:11,133
[Kevin] Dominik Mysterio,
frog splash all over Tozawa.

-Nails him.

[announcer] Here is your winner,
Dominik Mysterio!

1967
01:45:21,033 --> 01:45:24,833
[Corey] Look at how excited Finn Bálor
and Damian Priest are

1968
01:45:24,900 --> 01:45:27,766
for their teammate Dominik.

1969
01:45:29,333 --> 01:45:34,099
Rhea now has reason to smile
despite coming up short earlier tonight.

1970
01:45:34,166 --> 01:45:35,900
You love to see it.

1971
01:45:35,966 --> 01:45:38,766
[Kevin] Dominik Mysterio
racking up victories.

1972

01:45:47,466 --> 01:45:49,433
[Corey] Wait a second.

1975
01:45:49,500 --> 01:45:50,900
[Kevin] It's The Street Profits.

1976
01:45:50,966 --> 01:45:56,099
[Corey] Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins
coming to the aid of Akira Tozawa

1977
01:45:56,166 --> 01:46:00,900
before The Judgment Day could truly
make their presence felt as a unit.

1978
01:46:00,966 --> 01:46:03,099
[Kevin] And The Judgment Day scamper.

1979
01:46:06,933 --> 01:46:12,466
[Corey] Tozawa certainly owes a debt
of gratitude to The Street Profits.

01:46:12,533 --> 01:46:15,400
Big win for Dominik Mysterio tonight.

1981
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:25,599
[Kevin] A look at "The Man" Becky Lynch,
raring to go,

1982
01:46:25,666 --> 01:46:30,166
Triple Threat Match coming up
with a path to Bianca Belair

1983
01:46:30,233 --> 01:46:32,433
and the Raw Women's Championship
on the line.

1984
01:46:32,500 --> 01:46:34,533
It's Lynch, Bliss, and Cross tonight.

1985
01:46:39,733 --> 01:46:41,533
[Kevin] Earlier tonight
on Monday Night Raw,

1986
01:46:41,599 --> 01:46:44,700
we saw a faceoff between Bobby Lashley
and Seth Rollins.

1987
01:46:44,766 --> 01:46:48,566
Next week is a Number One Contenders Match
for the United States Championship,

1988
01:46:48,633 --> 01:46:51,566
but this is what played out
in brutal fashion earlier tonight.

1989
01:46:51,633 --> 01:46:54,966
[Corey] Rollins did his best to get
under the skin of The All Mighty

1990
01:46:55,033 --> 01:46:57,833
and Rollins would achieve his goal,
but at a cost.

1991
01:46:57,900 --> 01:46:59,099
Chaos would ensue.

1992
01:46:59,166 --> 01:47:03,400
The locker room would spill out
with referees and WWE officials.

1993
01:47:03,466 --> 01:47:05,933
But in the midst of the madness,

1994
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:11,700
WWE official Pete Williams would be
speared unintentionally by Bobby Lashley.

1995
01:47:11,766 --> 01:47:14,633
It could be argued that The All Mighty,
in this instance,

1996
01:47:14,700 --> 01:47:17,500
was outsmarted by a very cagey Rollins.

1997
01:47:17,566 --> 01:47:20,566
[Seth] Bobby, you've done it now.

1998
01:47:20,633 --> 01:47:21,866
[Pearce] Bobby.

1999
01:47:22,633 --> 01:47:24,066
Bobby, hold up a second.

2000
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:28,299
Look, we need to talk about
what happened earlier tonight.

2001
01:47:28,366 --> 01:47:30,366
It's not like you grabbed
one of my officials.

2002
01:47:30,433 --> 01:47:31,833
You damn near cut him in half.

2003
01:47:31,900 --> 01:47:33,099
[laughs]

2004
01:47:35,833 --> 01:47:38,066
-Oh, you're serious about this?
-Yeah, I'm serious.

2005
01:47:38,133 --> 01:47:39,566
It's a problem. It can't happen.

2006
01:47:39,633 --> 01:47:41,599
Look, I'm not saying you did it
on purpose.

2007
01:47:41,666 --> 01:47:43,233
I was out there. I saw it.

2008
01:47:43,299 --> 01:47:45,233
I'm not here to punish you or take away

2009
01:47:45,299 --> 01:47:47,966
your Number One Contenders Match
next week with Seth Rollins.

2010
01:47:48,033 --> 01:47:50,733
-I'm just saying if it happens again…
-Or what?

2011
01:47:50,799 --> 01:47:53,099
Put yourself in my shoes for a second.

2012
01:47:53,166 --> 01:47:54,833
If it happens again, my hands are tied.

2013
01:47:54,900 --> 01:47:57,200
I don't want that to happen.
That's what I'm saying.

2014
01:47:57,266 --> 01:48:00,166
So, if one of your little cronies
jumps in the lion's den

2015
01:48:00,233 --> 01:48:02,566
and he's mauled by a lion,
you're going to punish the lion?

2016
01:48:02,633 --> 01:48:04,366
-That's what you're telling me?
-No.

2017
01:48:04,433 --> 01:48:06,200
I'm saying I know it was an accident.

2018
01:48:06,266 --> 01:48:08,633
I'm asking you not to make another one.

2019
01:48:12,133 --> 01:48:13,166
Thanks.

2020
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:16,766
Just make sure nobody else
stands in my way.

2021
01:48:23,766 --> 01:48:26,433
Yeah, WWE official Adam Pearce
will try his best.

2022
01:48:26,500 --> 01:48:29,000
I'm not sure there's any controlling
Bobby Lashley right now.

2023
01:48:29,066 --> 01:48:31,900
All eyes turn to Milwaukee next week

2024
01:48:31,966 --> 01:48:34,433
on Monday Night Raw
Number One Contenders Match.

2025
01:48:34,500 --> 01:48:37,000
[Corey] The All Mighty lion
will be unleashed

2026
01:48:37,066 --> 01:48:40,433
one-on-one against Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

2027
01:48:40,500 --> 01:48:43,099
The winner will become
the Number One Contender

2028
01:48:43,166 --> 01:48:47,799
to the United States Championship
currently held by Austin Theory.

2029
01:48:47,866 --> 01:48:50,433
[Kevin] Look what else we have
coming up next week.

2030
01:48:50,500 --> 01:48:54,433
Damage CTRL put Candice LeRae
on the shelf for five weeks.

2031
01:48:54,500 --> 01:48:56,200
One down, two to go.

2032
01:48:56,266 --> 01:48:59,966
That's the message from Candice LeRae
after she beat Dakota Kai last week.

2033
01:49:00,099 --> 01:49:02,433
Next week on Raw, it's Iyo Sky.

2034
01:49:02,500 --> 01:49:04,966
[Corey] Elsewhere in
the women's division earlier tonight,

2035
01:49:05,033 --> 01:49:07,833
Bayley earned her opportunity
to compete next week.

2036
01:49:07,900 --> 01:49:10,266
Who will oppose The Role Model?

2037
01:49:10,333 --> 01:49:14,166
We will find out in a matter of moments
who will compete with Bayley

2038
01:49:14,233 --> 01:49:18,900
to become the Number One Contender
for The EST's Raw Women's Title.

2039
01:49:18,966 --> 01:49:21,599
["Fight Me" playing]

2040
01:49:27,066 --> 01:49:28,099
[bell rings]

2041
01:49:28,166 --> 01:49:30,566
[announcer] The following contest
is a Triple Threat Match

2042
01:49:30,633 --> 01:49:32,799
scheduled for one fall.

2043
01:49:32,866 --> 01:49:35,866
Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio,

2044
01:49:35,933 --> 01:49:39,200
Alexa Bliss!

2045
01:49:39,266 --> 01:49:43,933
[Kevin] Former two-time
Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss,

2046
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,366
the smile on her face
as she makes her way to the ring.

2047
01:49:46,433 --> 01:49:48,599
She'll understand
what's at stake here today,

2048
01:49:48,666 --> 01:49:50,666
a path to Bianca Belair

2049
01:49:50,733 --> 01:49:54,366
and a championship match
against the Raw Women's Champion.

2050
01:49:54,433 --> 01:49:56,599
This is the second
of our Triple Threat Matches

2051
01:49:56,666 --> 01:49:58,666
here on Monday Night Raw tonight.

2052
01:49:58,733 --> 01:50:02,566
[Corey] Bliss, a veteran,
no stranger to high-pressure situations,

2053
01:50:02,633 --> 01:50:05,133
but Alexa had better be on top of her game

2054
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:09,166
because she's got two very motivated women
looking to take her down.

2055
01:50:09,233 --> 01:50:12,500
-["The Strangeling" playing]
-[announcer] Next, from Glasgow, Scotland,

2056
01:50:12,566 --> 01:50:14,599
Nikki Cross!

2057
01:50:14,666 --> 01:50:19,133
[Kevin] Nikki Cross, an agent of chaos,
an agent of anarchy.

2058
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:23,099
The maniacal and twisted Nikki Cross
makes her way out now.

2059
01:50:23,166 --> 01:50:25,633
Who knows, you could ask everybody here
inside the arena

2060
01:50:25,700 --> 01:50:27,466
what's going through
the mind of Nikki Cross.

2061
01:50:27,533 --> 01:50:29,066
I'm not sure anyone knows, Graves.

2062
01:50:29,133 --> 01:50:31,933
[Corey] I think it's an impossible
question to answer,

2063
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,833
but if anybody may have a guess,
it might be Alexa Bliss

2064
01:50:34,900 --> 01:50:39,566
who once upon a time considered herself
extremely close friends with Nikki Cross.

2065
01:50:39,633 --> 01:50:42,700
Not this Nikki Cross, but a Nikki Cross,

2066
01:50:42,766 --> 01:50:45,466
and that could come into play
as this match progresses.

2067
01:50:45,533 --> 01:50:49,033
[Kevin] Former Tag Team Champions
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.

2068
01:50:49,099 --> 01:50:52,666
That a long time ago, and they are set
to do battle here, a Triple Threat.

2069
01:50:52,733 --> 01:50:54,633
Becky Lynch to join as well.

2070
01:50:54,700 --> 01:50:57,433
A chance to take on Bayley next week

2071
01:50:57,500 --> 01:51:00,266
for a path
to the Raw Women's Championship.

2072
01:51:02,933 --> 01:51:05,433
["Celtic Invasion" playing]

2073
01:51:10,233 --> 01:51:14,033
[Kevin] We're back on Monday Night Raw
and The Man is in Washington, D.C.

2074
01:51:14,099 --> 01:51:16,266
[announcer] Their opponent,
from Dublin, Ireland,

2075
01:51:16,333 --> 01:51:21,299
"The Man" Becky Lynch!

2076
01:51:22,833 --> 01:51:25,200
[Kevin] The swag,
the cool walk to the ring

2077
01:51:25,266 --> 01:51:28,166
from "The Man" Becky Lynch.

2078
01:51:28,233 --> 01:51:31,166
Becky knows exactly what's at stake,

2079
01:51:31,233 --> 01:51:34,666
and she will ride the momentum
since returning to WWE.

2080
01:51:34,733 --> 01:51:36,799
We saw the impact Becky Lynch had

2081
01:51:36,866 --> 01:51:40,666
arriving on Friday Night SmackDown
a week before last,

2082
01:51:40,733 --> 01:51:43,866
then WarGames,
winning WarGames for Team Bianca.

2083
01:51:43,933 --> 01:51:46,633
[Corey] You have to wonder
what The Man will have in store

2084
01:51:46,700 --> 01:51:49,733
next Monday
when we get to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

2085
01:51:49,799 --> 01:51:53,200
Millioke, Algonquian
for the good land, KP.

2086
01:51:53,266 --> 01:51:58,299
Monday Night Raw sure to bring
the excitement to Wisconsin.

2087
01:51:58,366 --> 01:52:02,266
And The Man could have a date
with "The Role Model" Bayley.

2088
01:52:02,333 --> 01:52:06,833
The winner of this match will advance
to face off with Bayley next week.

2089
01:52:06,900 --> 01:52:10,233
The winner of that match
will declare themselves

2090
01:52:10,299 --> 01:52:16,233
Number One Contender for Bianca Belair's
coveted Raw Women's Championship.

2091
01:52:16,299 --> 01:52:18,133
[Kevin] So, the path very clear,

2092
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:22,000
but it is quite the journey
to get to Bianca Belair

2093
01:52:22,066 --> 01:52:24,933
and that opportunity at
the Raw Women's Championship.

2094
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:27,166
We're looking
at six former Raw Women's Champions

2095
01:52:27,233 --> 01:52:30,133
doing battle tonight
in these Triple Threat Matches.

2096
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:33,466
[Corey] Only two can advance.
Bayley has earned that right.

2097
01:52:33,533 --> 01:52:35,533
Which of these three will it be?

2098
01:52:35,599 --> 01:52:38,066
-[bell rings]
-Spitting bars over here, KP.

2099

-[Kevin] My man.
-[Corey] Top dollar.

2100
01:52:40,666 --> 01:52:43,133
[Kevin] Why wouldn't you be?
What a match this promises to be,

2101
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:44,766
and look at Nikki Cross.

2102
01:52:44,833 --> 01:52:48,133
[Corey] How can you not look
at Nikki Cross? She's a maniac!

2103
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:50,666
-[Kevin] Nikki just…
-Back off!

2104
01:52:50,733 --> 01:52:53,333
[Corey] Oh! Throat punch by the man.

2105
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:55,599
-Love it.
-[Kevin] The dropkick from Alexa Bliss.

2106
01:52:55,666 --> 01:52:56,933
[Lynch] Bye-bye.

2107
01:52:58,766 --> 01:53:00,433
[Corey] She's laughing, Kevin.

2108
01:53:00,500 --> 01:53:02,833
She's laying on our desk and laughing.

2109
01:53:02,900 --> 01:53:05,066
I'm going to try my best
to call the action.

2110
01:53:05,133 --> 01:53:06,533
You keep Nikki occupied.

2111
01:53:06,599 --> 01:53:08,566
[Kevin] Trying to grab my notes,
Nikki Cross.

2112
01:53:08,633 --> 01:53:12,166
Reminder, winner by pinfall or submission.

2113
01:53:12,233 --> 01:53:17,066
No DQs here.
As Alexa Bliss brushed off by Becky Lynch.

2114
01:53:18,033 --> 01:53:22,700
[Corey] Beautiful takedown by Lynch.
A step ahead of Alexa Bliss.

2115
01:53:22,766 --> 01:53:25,333
[Kevin] Alexa Bliss now looking
to put away Becky early.

2116
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:28,066
As Nikki Cross just outside
the ring smiling.

2117
01:53:28,133 --> 01:53:29,433
-Becky now.
-One, two…

2118
01:53:29,500 --> 01:53:30,933
Kick out by Alexa.

2119
01:53:33,366 --> 01:53:34,833
Look at Alexa Bliss.

2120
01:53:34,900 --> 01:53:37,933
[Corey] Fantastic athleticism
by both women.

2121
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:39,766
Shoulders down.

2122
01:53:39,833 --> 01:53:41,133
[Kevin] Becky now. Alexa…

2123
01:53:43,299 --> 01:53:45,900
Oh! Chop from Alexa on Becky.

2124
01:53:46,733 --> 01:53:47,766
One…

2125
01:53:48,733 --> 01:53:50,799
Becky makes it look easy.

2126
01:53:50,866 --> 01:53:54,433
[Corey] Bliss didn't execute
a textbook cover there

2127
01:53:54,500 --> 01:53:58,866
allowed The Man to escape in high fashion.

2128
01:53:58,933 --> 01:54:01,133
[Kevin] Alexa, though,
eyeing up Becky Lynch.

2129
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:02,500
[Corey] Uh-oh.

2130
01:54:04,566 --> 01:54:07,833
Becky, thought she was going
for The Manhandle Slam.

2131
01:54:07,900 --> 01:54:09,500
-Alexa turns it around.
-One, two…

2132
01:54:11,400 --> 01:54:15,900
[Corey] Listen, I think this matchup
is of utmost importance for Alexa Bliss.

2133
01:54:15,966 --> 01:54:19,466
We've talked,
and I've caught plenty of flack for it.

2134
01:54:19,533 --> 01:54:21,266
Some people who have considered it harsh.

2135
01:54:21,333 --> 01:54:25,299
This is not the same dominant,
wicked Alexa Bliss we once knew.

2136
01:54:25,366 --> 01:54:28,833
The same one who is
a three-time Women's Champion.

2137
01:54:28,900 --> 01:54:31,900
That's what tonight should be
all about for Alexa Bliss,

2138
01:54:31,966 --> 01:54:34,766
earning that opportunity
to challenge Belair.

2139
01:54:34,833 --> 01:54:39,233
Nikki Cross has been
Raw Women's Champion before.

2140
01:54:39,299 --> 01:54:43,566
Again, in a different version of herself.
I don't know how successful

2141
01:54:43,633 --> 01:54:46,866
Nikki Cross would be on PR tours
as the Raw Women's Champion.

2142
01:54:46,933 --> 01:54:48,933
[Kevin] Look at the pace and power
of Cross though.

2143
01:54:50,666 --> 01:54:54,799
[Corey] Lynch, a glancing blow on Nikki.

2144
01:54:56,799 --> 01:55:00,233
Obviously Bliss is not into
being used as a step stool.

2145
01:55:00,299 --> 01:55:01,633
This is what I want to see.

2146
01:55:01,700 --> 01:55:05,233
This is what we need to see,
the opportunistic Alexa Bliss

2147
01:55:05,299 --> 01:55:08,299
who picks her spots wisely
and with great precision.

2148
01:55:08,366 --> 01:55:12,799
[Kevin] Oh, looked to do so there.
Connected by Becky Lynch.

2149
01:55:13,933 --> 01:55:16,266
-Becky now.
-[Corey] Bexploder suplex.

2150
01:55:16,333 --> 01:55:18,400
[Kevin] Looking to put away Nikki Cross.

2151
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:23,666
Six separate Raw Women's Champion reigns
here inside the ring.

2152
01:55:23,733 --> 01:55:26,700
Three for Alexa, two for Becky,
and one for Nikki.

2153
01:55:26,766 --> 01:55:30,533
[Corey] Series of strikes by Bliss.
Dropkick takes down Lynch.

2154
01:55:33,833 --> 01:55:35,866
[Kevin] Alexa now at pace.

2155
01:55:35,933 --> 01:55:37,099
[Corey] Nobody home.

2156
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:42,166
Bliss able to block Lynch's kick attempt.

2157
01:55:42,233 --> 01:55:43,799
[Kevin] A vicious right from Becky.

2158
01:55:43,866 --> 01:55:46,000
[Corey] It's almost as if
both of these women

2159
01:55:46,066 --> 01:55:47,799
realize the magnitude of the situation.

2160
01:55:47,866 --> 01:55:49,666
I'm sensing maybe some nerves.

2161
01:55:49,733 --> 01:55:53,000
It's as though everybody's moving
a thousand miles an hour

2162
01:55:53,066 --> 01:55:56,733
-and not really surveying the situation.
-[yells]

2163
01:55:58,233 --> 01:56:00,400
[Kevin] The prize at stake, a match-- Oh!

2164
01:56:00,466 --> 01:56:03,400
Lynch into the stairs.

2165
01:56:03,466 --> 01:56:05,066
Now, Alexa Bliss.

2166
01:56:05,133 --> 01:56:10,033
[Corey] Bliss wanted a Tornado DDT,
I believe, but shoved into the ring.

2167
01:56:10,099 --> 01:56:12,000
[Kevin] Nikki Cross has other ideas.

2168
01:56:12,066 --> 01:56:14,833
[Corey] Oh, my God! That might do it.

2169
01:56:14,900 --> 01:56:17,133
[Kevin] Will this be Nikki Cross' night,

2170
01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:19,599
and a match with Bayley to come next week?

2171
01:56:19,666 --> 01:56:22,099
You go ahead.
Redecorate the place. Do what you want.

2172
01:56:33,299 --> 01:56:35,333
-There goes my notes.
-[yelling]

2173
01:56:37,233 --> 01:56:40,633
Nikki Cross doing some serious damage
here in a Triple Threat Match

2174
01:56:40,700 --> 01:56:44,266
to determine who will face Bayley
in a Number One Contenders Match

2175
01:56:44,333 --> 01:56:47,433
for the Raw Women's Championship
against Bianca Belair.

2176
01:56:47,500 --> 01:56:49,066
That match with Bayley is next week.

2177
01:56:49,133 --> 01:56:54,333
For now, though, Cross doing damage
to the left arm of Alexa Bliss.

2178
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:58,166
[Corey] Cross has been like a pocket-sized
tornado since the opening bell.

2179
01:56:58,233 --> 01:57:02,900
Inflicting maximum damage
on both Bliss and Becky Lynch

2180
01:57:02,966 --> 01:57:06,299
who has been basically eliminated
from the matchup at the moment.

2181
01:57:07,233 --> 01:57:09,733
[Kevin] Becky Lynch
somewhere on the outside.

2182
01:57:09,799 --> 01:57:13,099
We did see a dominant spell
from Alexa Bliss

2183
01:57:13,166 --> 01:57:15,066
who couldn't bring home the victory.

2184
01:57:15,133 --> 01:57:16,533
Alexa still very much in it.

2185
01:57:18,166 --> 01:57:20,733
[Corey] This could do it for Bliss.

2186
01:57:20,799 --> 01:57:26,166
Smart move by Nikki, just slowing
down the pace while Lynch is disposed of.

2187
01:57:26,233 --> 01:57:28,299
[Kevin] You mentioned her past
as a tag team.

2188
01:57:28,366 --> 01:57:30,566
They've also had recent history,
think Crown Jewel.

2189
01:57:30,633 --> 01:57:34,466
Alexa Bliss and Asuka on the verge of
retaining their Tag Team Championships,

2190
01:57:34,533 --> 01:57:36,233
out came Nikki Cross.

2191
01:57:36,299 --> 01:57:38,900
-Then of course WarGames.
-[Corey] You're absolutely right.

2192
01:57:38,966 --> 01:57:40,433
Took the words out of my mouth.

2193
01:57:40,500 --> 01:57:44,200
Bliss and Cross on opposing teams
inside of WarGames.

2194
01:57:44,966 --> 01:57:46,900
[Kevin] Handcuffed to each other.

2195
01:57:48,599 --> 01:57:49,733
[Corey] Bliss now.

2196
01:57:52,500 --> 01:57:55,733
Nice takedown by Nikki Cross.

2197
01:57:55,799 --> 01:57:59,466
[Kevin] Becky Lynch now back inside
the ring to devastating effect.

2198
01:57:59,533 --> 01:58:01,433
[Corey] Much like Rhea Ripley,

2199
01:58:01,500 --> 01:58:04,900
Nikki Cross was in control
but took her eye off the ball.

2200
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:09,166
[Kevin] Becky has energy
and she means business.

2201
01:58:09,233 --> 01:58:10,933
-[yells]
-Uppercut to Cross.

2202
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:14,099
[Corey] Lynch making the most of her
few moments on the outside.

2203
01:58:14,166 --> 01:58:17,066
Again, pinfall or submission only.

2204
01:58:17,133 --> 01:58:19,433
No count out, no disqualification.

2205
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:22,733
Face first goes Cross.

2206
01:58:22,799 --> 01:58:26,500
[Kevin] Can Becky end it, and line up
that match with Bayley next week?

2207
01:58:28,799 --> 01:58:31,433
[Corey] We saw the beginning
earlier in the night,

2208
01:58:31,500 --> 01:58:37,933
Bayley and Becky certainly anxious
and eager to compete against one another.

2209
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:42,900
And The Man about to take one giant leap
toward making it happen.

2210
01:58:42,966 --> 01:58:45,666
From the middle rope, Becky Lynch.

2211
01:58:45,733 --> 01:58:49,466
-Leg drop.
-[Kevin] Cover. For the victory.

2212
01:58:49,533 --> 01:58:50,866
Kick out by Cross.

2213
01:58:51,666 --> 01:58:54,099
-Wow!
-[Corey] Just barely.

2214
01:58:54,666 --> 01:58:56,966
You can see Lynch smiling to herself.

2215
01:58:57,033 --> 01:58:59,933
Becky Lynch no stranger
to the deep waters.

2216
01:59:00,066 --> 01:59:02,833
This is a woman who has
headlined WrestleMania.

2217
01:59:02,900 --> 01:59:06,933
The Man knows what it takes
to make it to the top of the mountain.

2218
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:10,466
Get the hell up, Nikki.
You want to be crazy, get the hell up.

2219
01:59:10,533 --> 01:59:13,000
Get the hell up and fight me, Nikki.

2220
01:59:14,299 --> 01:59:18,066
[Corey] Becky wants The Manhandle Slam.
Nikki able to fight her way out of it.

2221
01:59:19,299 --> 01:59:21,666
[Kevin] Becky wants a scrap.
"Get the hell up, Nikki,"

2222
01:59:21,733 --> 01:59:23,200
the words of Becky Lynch.

2223
01:59:23,266 --> 01:59:26,000
[Corey] Bexploder takes down Cross,
but keep an eye on Bliss.

2224
01:59:26,066 --> 01:59:29,966
[Kevin] Alexa Bliss,
quick fire, back involved.

2225
01:59:30,033 --> 01:59:32,500
[Corey] Lynch could be thinking
about the Dis-Arm-Her.

2226
01:59:32,566 --> 01:59:34,066
Bliss had it scouted.

2227
01:59:34,133 --> 01:59:38,599
Becky to the outside connects
with a big right, but Nikki…

2228
01:59:38,666 --> 01:59:41,533
[Kevin] Face first
into the post for Becky.

2229
01:59:41,599 --> 01:59:43,933
[Corey] Nikki grabbed
a hold of Becky Lynch's ankle

2230
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:46,133
just momentarily
which opened the door for Bliss

2231
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:48,099
to change the complexion of this matchup.

2232
01:59:48,166 --> 01:59:52,033
[Kevin] Alexa Bliss
taking out Lynch and Cross!

2233
01:59:52,099 --> 01:59:55,200
[Corey] Bliss needs to get
one of her two opponents in the ring.

2234
01:59:55,266 --> 01:59:56,700
There needs to a sense of urgency.

2235
01:59:56,766 --> 01:59:58,666
This is a golden opportunity,

2236
01:59:58,733 --> 02:00:02,266
as we take another look at Bliss
taking a risk that paid off.

2237
02:00:02,333 --> 02:00:04,833
-Cover here.
-[Kevin] Cover. Alexa Bliss now.

2238
02:00:04,900 --> 02:00:06,366
Kick out by Nikki.

2239
02:00:06,433 --> 02:00:10,799
[Corey] I have been extremely critical
of Alexa Bliss' lack of urgency recently.

2240
02:00:10,866 --> 02:00:14,466
Bliss knows what it means to be
Women's Champion in WWE.

2241
02:00:14,533 --> 02:00:17,733
She knows what it takes,
and you have to be on top of your game.

2242
02:00:17,799 --> 02:00:20,766
No wasted motion. No wasted time.

2243
02:00:20,833 --> 02:00:23,033
[Kevin] A Triple Crown Champion.

2244
02:00:23,099 --> 02:00:25,299
One of the most decorated women
in the locker room,

2245
02:00:25,366 --> 02:00:27,299
Alexa Bliss takes a climb.

2246
02:00:28,933 --> 02:00:31,733
Becky Lynch, though,
sweeping the legs out from Alexa.

2247
02:00:31,799 --> 02:00:34,433
Up goes Nikki Cross to thwart her efforts.

2248
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:40,966
[Corey] Bliss and Cross doing battle

2249
02:00:41,033 --> 02:00:43,833
in a very perilous situation
for both women.

2250
02:00:43,900 --> 02:00:46,400
-[Kevin] Oh, no. Oh, no.
-Here comes The Man.

2251
02:00:46,466 --> 02:00:48,400
[Kevin] What is Becky about to do?

2252
02:00:48,466 --> 02:00:51,466
Oh! Can she finish it?

2253
02:00:51,533 --> 02:00:54,066
Hook of the leg for Becky Lynch to win it.

2254
02:00:54,133 --> 02:00:56,666
Kick out. Nikki Cross kicks out.

2255
02:01:00,933 --> 02:01:04,233
[Corey] Take a look at this
tremendous power and leverage

2256
02:01:04,299 --> 02:01:06,666
from "The Man" Becky Lynch.

2257
02:01:06,733 --> 02:01:10,866
Cross and Bliss both with a nasty landing,

2258
02:01:12,099 --> 02:01:15,200
and it could just be
a technicality at this point

2259
02:01:15,266 --> 02:01:20,299
before Lynch earns her opportunity
to face off with Bayley next week.

2260
02:01:20,366 --> 02:01:23,566
The winner in Milwaukee
will be the next challenger

2261
02:01:23,633 --> 02:01:26,099
to Bianca Belair's
Raw Women's Championship.

2262
02:01:26,166 --> 02:01:28,700
No doubt The EST looking on right now.

2263
02:01:28,766 --> 02:01:33,066
[Kevin] The stakes are massive.
Bianca's been champion for 247 days

2264
02:01:33,133 --> 02:01:36,166
since WrestleMania
when she defeated Becky Lynch.

2265
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,400
[Corey] Becky Lynch has not forgiven
nor forgotten.

2266
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:46,966
-[Kevin] Cross.
-Goes low.

2267
02:01:47,033 --> 02:01:53,299
Just a barrage of unorthodox strikes
from the extremely unorthodox Nikki Cross.

2268
02:01:54,533 --> 02:01:57,366
[Kevin] Lynch looked to put Cross
on the outside.

2269
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:00,433
What has Nikki Cross got planned here?

2270
02:02:00,500 --> 02:02:02,099
Crossbody!

2271
02:02:02,166 --> 02:02:07,233
A hook on the leg now for Nikki Cross.
Alexa Bliss intervening.

2272
02:02:07,299 --> 02:02:10,099
[Corey] At the very,
very last possible moment.

2273
02:02:10,166 --> 02:02:12,533
Bliss keeping her own opportunity alive.

2274
02:02:12,599 --> 02:02:13,933
[Cross yelling]

2275
02:02:15,366 --> 02:02:19,533
[Kevin] Maniacal look
in the face of Nikki Cross.

2276
02:02:20,500 --> 02:02:23,766
Blow after blow now
to the midsection of Alexa Bliss.

2277
02:02:23,833 --> 02:02:26,366
[Corey] Right now,
Nikki Cross on a rampage

2278
02:02:26,433 --> 02:02:28,533
looking like something
out of Nevermore Academy

2279
02:02:28,599 --> 02:02:30,633
to squash Bliss in the corner.

2280
02:02:30,700 --> 02:02:33,466
-[Kevin] Oh!
-Face first goes Bliss.

2281
02:02:34,166 --> 02:02:37,700
[Kevin] is this her moment?
Can she seize the opportunity?

2282
02:02:37,766 --> 02:02:39,266
Alexa responds.

2283
02:02:41,599 --> 02:02:45,333
Three former Raw Women's Champions
going at it.

2284
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:48,200
The stakes are high here
on Monday Night Raw.

2285
02:02:50,533 --> 02:02:52,333
Bliss to the outside.

2286
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:56,599
[Corey] Bliss right into a trap
laid by a waiting Nikki Cross,

2287
02:02:56,666 --> 02:03:00,066
and now Alexa trying to fight
her way out of this scenario.

2288
02:03:00,133 --> 02:03:01,433
[both groaning]

2289
02:03:01,500 --> 02:03:06,166
Great move by Cross, crushing
Bliss between her own body and the ring,

2290
02:03:06,233 --> 02:03:09,433
but neither woman able to capitalize.

2291
02:03:09,500 --> 02:03:12,599
Nikki Cross needs to get Bliss
back inside the ring

2292
02:03:12,666 --> 02:03:14,533
or pick up whatever's left of Lynch.

2293
02:03:14,599 --> 02:03:17,500
Get in the ring so you can win the match.

2294
02:03:18,799 --> 02:03:20,966
[Kevin] You say Bianca Belair
no doubt watching on.

2295
02:03:21,033 --> 02:03:23,099
You can say the same for Bayley as well.

2296
02:03:23,166 --> 02:03:24,900
[Corey] You're right about that one.

2297
02:03:24,966 --> 02:03:26,599
The leader of Damage CTRL.

2298
02:03:28,366 --> 02:03:32,133
You got to dig down deep.
This is a high-stakes matchup.

2299
02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:35,900
I understand exhaustion can be a factor,
but motivation shouldn't be.

2300
02:03:35,966 --> 02:03:38,566
-Watch Lynch.
-[Kevin] Becky Lynch. Hang on a second.

2301
02:03:38,633 --> 02:03:40,400
-[Corey] From the middle rope.
-Oh!

2302
02:03:40,466 --> 02:03:42,266
[Corey] Double leg drop.

2303
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:45,799
Can she get a cover?
Can she get a victory?

2304
02:03:45,866 --> 02:03:49,666
Becky Lynch, hook of the leg now
to put away Alexa Bliss who kicks out.

2305
02:03:49,733 --> 02:03:52,299
-Alexa still alive.
-[Corey] Look at this.

2306
02:03:52,366 --> 02:03:56,733
The Man taking a high-risk
double leg drop across Bliss' back

2307
02:03:56,799 --> 02:04:01,833
which also, in turn, drove Nikki Cross
face-first into the canvas.

2308
02:04:01,900 --> 02:04:05,433
Lynch executed a cover,
but it wasn't enough.

2309
02:04:08,333 --> 02:04:10,400
Who wants it the most?

2310
02:04:10,466 --> 02:04:15,299
Who will earn the opportunity to head to
Milwaukee and face off with Bayley?

2311
02:04:16,533 --> 02:04:19,400
[Kevin] Determination
in the face of Becky Lynch.

2312
02:04:20,766 --> 02:04:22,033
Again…

2313
02:04:22,099 --> 02:04:25,533
[Corey] Cross hanging on for dear life
to the top rope.

2314

Lynch trying to make something work here.

2315
02:04:31,366 --> 02:04:34,566
[Kevin] Oh, vicious elbow from Cross.

2316
02:04:34,633 --> 02:04:37,233
[Corey] Knee to the midsection from Cross.

2317
02:04:37,299 --> 02:04:39,266
Oh, no. Oh, no. oh, no.

2318
02:04:39,333 --> 02:04:43,433
This will take Becky out of the equation
if not the business.

2319
02:04:45,733 --> 02:04:47,066
Oh, my God!

2320
02:04:47,133 --> 02:04:48,666
Teetering back and forth.

2321
02:04:48,733 --> 02:04:50,799
This could be catastrophic.

2322
02:04:50,866 --> 02:04:55,133
[Kevin] Lynch now on the apron,
wants The Manhandle Slam.

2323
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:58,133
[Corey] Lynch didn't get all of it,
but got enough to be effective.

2324
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:00,733
Cross is down.
Lynch looking for the cover.

2325
02:05:00,799 --> 02:05:05,066
Nikki instinctively rolling away
to the center of the ring.

2326
02:05:05,133 --> 02:05:07,833
[Kevin] Becky trying to catch up
with Nikki-- Oh, hang on.

2327
02:05:07,900 --> 02:05:11,533
-[Corey] Now, here come Iyo and Dakota.
-It's the Tag Team Champions.

2328
02:05:12,700 --> 02:05:15,266
[Corey] Oh, they went
straight for Becky Lynch.

2329
02:05:15,333 --> 02:05:18,366
You have to imagine that
they're doing the bidding of Bayley.

2330
02:05:20,133 --> 02:05:22,599
[Kevin] Doing serious damage
to Becky Lynch.

2331
02:05:24,866 --> 02:05:29,900
Oh, Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.

2332
02:05:29,966 --> 02:05:33,200
[Corey] The Man fighting
with every fiber in her being,

2333
02:05:33,266 --> 02:05:35,666
but the numbers game could be too much.

2334
02:05:35,733 --> 02:05:36,900
Look out!

2335
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:42,166
[Kevin] Becky Lynch--
Oh, through the announce desk.

2336
02:05:45,333 --> 02:05:48,900
[Corey] A powerbomb that would make
Lynch's old man happy.

2337
02:05:48,966 --> 02:05:52,366
[Kevin] Meanwhile, back inside the ring,
Alexa Bliss, is this her night?

2338
02:05:52,433 --> 02:05:54,333
-She's got it. She's got it.
-[bell rings]

2339
02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:56,066
["Fight Me" playing]

2340
02:05:56,133 --> 02:06:01,166
[announcer]
Here's your winner, Alexa Bliss!

2341
02:06:01,233 --> 02:06:04,466
[Corey] Twisted Bliss seals the deal.

2342
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:09,299
Chalk up the assist to Damage CTRL.

2343
02:06:09,366 --> 02:06:13,066
Bliss and Bayley next week in Milwaukee.

2344
02:06:14,900 --> 02:06:17,566
[Kevin] Cannot wait for that match
coming your way.

2345
02:06:17,633 --> 02:06:21,900
Bayley must have sent Dakota and Iyo out.

2346
02:06:21,966 --> 02:06:26,099
[Corey] Alexa Bliss wants to taste
the top of the mountain once again.
