[Michael Cole] This is Scotland's largest city, Glasgow.
[yelling]
[Cole] Home to the OVO Hydro,

This is gonna be good.
[Cole] You're looking live at the sold-out OVO Hydro.
11,391 WWE fans have come here

[Cole] Chelsea Green in her lame disguise.
[bell dings]
[commentator] Cody Rhodes is ready to force AJ Styles to say the words,
"I quit."
-Do you quit? -[Cody] No!
[Cole] AJ Styles trash-talking Cody's mom, Michelle.
Screw you, Cody Rhodes.
-I quit! -[bell dings]
[Cole] Solo Sikoa.
Oh, look out from behind!
The rest of The Bloodline!
[Corey Graves] Rhodes has backup. It's Owens and Orton.
And for once, The Bloodline doesn't have a numbers advantage.
[Cole] Cody Rhodes is still your undisputed WWE champion.
[crowd cheering]
[gentle music playing]
[Cole] Drew McIntyre looking to exorcise the past demons.
This man is public enemy number one
in Glasgow, Scotland.
[commentator] Two heavy hitters for the richest prize on Monday Night Raw.
Drew McIntyre is ready for war.
[Cole] If you're Damian Priest, you've got to weather the early storm.
Oh, no!
The official knocked down into the barricade.
[Cole] And here comes another official.
[crowd] Two, three…
[Cole] CM Punk!
[crowd booing]
[Cole] He went low on McIntyre!
South of Heaven chokeslam.
CM Punk has screwed Drew McIntyre.
♪ Born to be the greatest of all time… ♪
[Cole] He has not been heard from in two days,
after the shocking, controversial ending
to his match at Clash at the Castle
in his homeland of Scotland.
Drew McIntyre is here live tonight…

Corpus Christi…
let me welcome you back
to Monday Night Rollins!
And in case you forgot,
let me introduce your host for this evening.
He is a visionary,
he is a revolutionary,
he is Seth…
[crowd] "Freakin" Rollins!
[crowd] ♪ Woah-oh-oh ♪
♪ Woah-oh-oh ♪
[Cole] That has to feel so good.
♪ Woah-oh-oh ♪
[Cole] We missed you, brother.
♪ Woah-oh-oh ♪
And I missed you guys too, man.
Thank you very much.
Now I'm gonna cut to the chase
because I figured you guys just want to sing all night anyway.
I'm back for one reason.
I've seen them all, I've faced them all,
I've beat them all, I've done it all.
But I got into this business not just to be one of the best.
I got into this business
to be the very greatest, best of all time.
[crowd cheering]
And I can't do that
without getting back the championship that I made.
The World Heavyweight Championship.
Now, Money in the Bank is only a few short weeks away.
I know how to climb a ladder pretty well.
I am quite familiar with the Money in the Bank contract,
and I figure it is the fastest way
for me to get back in the mix
for a shot at the World Hea--
["Rise For The Night" playing]
[McAfee] Here's a fast track to a championship opportunity, Cole.
[Cole] We'll get into that later on tonight with qualifying matches.
But there is the World Heavyweight Champion,
Damian Priest and…
remember what happened in WrestleMania,
where Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins
to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
The last time we saw Seth was…
that weekend.
Damian Priest
would cash in on Drew McIntyre
with the World Championship that night.
And now El Campeón,
fresh off his controversial victory this past Saturday night
at Clash at the Castle.
[McAfee] Only word that matters there is victory. He's still the champion.
Boy, there was some stoogery there.
[crowd booing]
Seth…
I'm not being sarcastic.
I literally wanted to come out here first and say "Welcome back."
[speaks in Spanish]
[in English] Really, I mean that.
You look great, you look healthy.
It's good to have you back, man. Sincerely.
Real talk. Look…
I've been wanting some face-to-face time with you
because I wanted to tell you straight up.
I wanted to cash in on you for the World Title.
I wanted that cash in to happen on you.
Out of respect.
I wanted to be World Champion by beating you.
Now, that didn't happen, but I feel like I'm doing okay.
I need to tell you, though,
this is no longer Monday Night Rollins.
It's…
It's the show we all rise for El Campeón, you know?
[crowd booing]
[laughs]
Uh, you know what? Let's cut him some slack.
He had a rough weekend, all right?
Almost lost a leg over in Scotland.
I like where you're coming from, all right?
I like where you're coming from and I kind of respect it.
And here's the thing, Priest.
You may not know this.
You and I are a lot alike.
Think about it.
We both made our names in groups.
You, with The Judgment Day,
me, with the greatest group of all time, The Shield.
We both… we both
won the Money in the Bank contract, had to wait a long time to cash it in.
But when we did, we made a mark
because it was on the grandest stage of them all.
We both won our first World Titles at WrestleMania.
So very similar we are.
But there's like this one little thing that separates me from you,
and that's the fact that, at some point, I grew a set.
[McAfee] Whoa!
[crowd] Oh!
Now, you heard me out here talking about legacy earlier.
I want to be the greatest of all time.
And I realize,
to have that legacy for myself,
at some point, I needed to stand on my own two feet.
So let me ask you a question.
The question we've all been wondering since you won that title at WrestleMania.
What kind of champion do you want to be?
What do you want your legacy to be in this industry?
Do you want to be one of the greatest of all time?
Or do you want to be just a footnote in the history of The Judgment Day?
Yeah, that's a fair question, and I get it.
I get why you're asking.
Wow.
Look, Seth, let me remind you of something.
When you first had this title, I was your first challenger.
[speaking in Spanish]
[in English] And at that point in time, you beat me
because you were better than me.
-That's right. -You did. You were better.
Times have changed. Now, on Saturday,
you're right, I almost lost my leg.
So I understand that people tonight
thought I was gonna come out here and relinquish the title.
The only thing I want to relinquish is the fact
that you think you're better than me today.
Do you want to know what type of legacy I want to live?
What type of champion I am?
How about this?
Don't worry about any ladders.
Don't worry about any briefcase.
At Money in the Bank,
how about Seth "Freakin" Rollins versus Damian El Campeón Priest
for the World Title?
You ain't serious, are you?
This is a trap. Your boys gonna come out and jump me now.
-Is that what this is? I know you. -Nobody coming out.
There's nobody coming. They don't even know I'm out here.
This is between you and me, man to man.
It's a simple yes or no.
Do you want a shot at my World Title or not?
[crowd chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes!
Well, if it's that simple,
then I accept your challenge.
[McAfee chuckles] Okay.
But just remember this, Priest.
As long as I'm around here,
this show will always and forever be
Monday Night…
-Ro… -[crowd] Rollins!
["Visionary" playing]
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen,
Seth Rollins and Damian Priest
have turned Monday Night Raw upside down.
An agreement in place
for Damian Priest to defend the World Heavyweight Championship
two weeks from Saturday in Toronto
at the Money in the Bank premium live event
against Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
That's awesome.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins shows up out of nowhere
in Corpus Christi.
And then, just a matter of moments later,
we find out that he has another shot at the title with Damian Priest
in a matter of weeks?
What a wonderful start to Monday Night Raw
in hot as hell Corpus Christi.
We're sold out tonight.
Now, Seth Rollins mentioned
he's a former Mr. Money in the Bank.
In fact, he cashed in the heist of the century
about a decade ago.
Well, starting tonight, superstars get to qualify
for this year's Money in the Bank contract Ladder Matches.
And we've got a Triple Threat later on tonight
between Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio and Finn Bálor,
with their first spot in the men's Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match.
On the women's side,
qualifying match-up tonight, Triple Threat as well.
Zelina Vega, IYO SKY and Kiana James
here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
Also, last week, Bron Breakker,
showing the world why he's the unpredictable badass.
Ricochet, the recipient of an all-out, ferocious assault.
We will look back tonight at what happened to Ricochet.
[indistinct shouting]
What are you doing?
[indistinct conversation]
[indistinct] qualifiers, and winners go on to Toronto at Money in the Bank.
-[knock on door] -Yup. Let me call you back.
Ah, Pearce.
I've been looking for you.
A man much like myself, an intellectual.
Someone with some common sense.
Someone that would understand that
if it weren't for my number-one disappointment here
and little Miss Bo Peep,
not to mention Mr. Every Day Off,
missing another trip,
that I'd be Intercontinental Champion right now.
So I'm here to ask for what's rightfully mine.
A rematch against Sami.
Chad, I know how much the Intercontinental Title means to you.
You would.
I understand how disappointing it's got to be
having opportunity after opportunity,
coming so close to winning it, not getting the job done.
I get that. You know what else I get?
I get that the best thing for you right now
is to get to the back of the line and then win your way
towards another crack at that title, just like everybody else.
Did you hear that?
Back of the line! Do I belong at the back of the line?
I'm a leader! I belong at the front of the line.
Luckily, I know how to keep a cool head in these situations, so I'm game.
Why don't you find me someone?
Someone worthy. Because I am an Olympian. Remember that.
-Anybody? -Sure.
Okay.
You're on.
And I have the perfect opponent.
Line them up.
-Hey. Make it official. -Official it is.
And don't screw it up!
Miss Bo Peep.
[Cole] Pat, when are those three gonna learn?
[McAfee] If not now, then when?
But I do appreciate that Adam Pearce said,
"Get to the back of the line, Chad Gable" earlier today.
[Cole] Poor Maxxine, hobbling around now,
not only in boot, but a crutch.
[bell dings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, representing Alpha Academy,
from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
weighting in at 202 pounds,
Chad Gable.
[Cole] Gable looks to turn his fortunes around.
Live, next.
-What a jerk! -[McAfee] This guy sucks.
[Cole] We've labeled it, "The shocker in Scotland."
Scottish born Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn
winning the Women's Tag Team Titles in a Triple Threat Match.
The new champions are here, live tonight.
So Gable looking to get back into the Intercontinental Championship picture,
he said "Let me get back on a winning streak."
Who is his opponent going to be?
["Monster Of All Monsters" playing]
[McAfee laughs]
-[Cole] Oh, boy! -[McAfee] Yes!
[Cole] Oh, man!
Good luck, Chad.
[McAfee] Look at that thing!
That's one big son of a bitch!
[Alicia] And his opponent,
weighing in at 385 pounds,
Braun Strowman!
[Cole] The Monster of All Monsters.
Six-foot-eight, 385 pounds.
And it's no coincidence
that Chad Gable is standing behind big Otis.
[McAfee] When you see that meat mountain, you want to bring in your own meat,
but there ain't enough meat to keep up with this big son of a bitch!
[Cole] You know, Chad Gable was in General Manager Adam Pearce's office,
claiming that he deserved another shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
Pat,
Chad Gable has now had five opportunities
at the Intercontinental Title and has not been able to get the job done.
Counting Gunther and Sami Zayn,
Gable's had five chances to win the championship.
[bell dings]
[crowd] One big S-O-B.
-[Cole] See what you started? -[McAfee] I love this.
[crowd] One big S-O-B.
[McAfee] One big S-O-B.
Look at how small… [chuckles] …Chad Gable looks
compared to Braun Strowman.
[McAfee] And that's--
[Cole] Gable was looking for a German suplex,
on the 385-pounder to start.
[McAfee] Talk about the physical appearance of Gable looking small.
How about inside? He's a tiny little man.
And that has obviously been displayed
over the last month and a half, two months
as he's been treating Alpha Academy horrible.
[Cole] I agree with that.
He's a tremendous competitor, though.
I mean, he's not… Make any mistake about that.
He's a former US Olympian.
Chad Gable runs into a boot by Braun Strowman.
How about this? Trying to get back on a winning streak,
and you have to face that man.
[McAfee] Yeah, Pearce is really throwing his fastball today.
[Braun speaks indistinctly]
This is a bully.
You'll don't have to put up with this crap.
[Cole] Strowman explaining to the rest of Alpha Academy
that Chad Gable is a bully.
And you saw Maxxine who's out here
not only in a boot, but also a crutch
because of what happened to… Oh!
…this past Saturday at Clash at the Castle.
Chad Gable inadvertently…
He tossed into Maxxine.
[McAfee] Yeah, well, inadvertently this, inadvertently that.
Chad Gables thinks bad things happen to bad people.
That's how the universe works. But Otis had to carry Maxxine out of here.
Otis, good person.
Maxxine, by all accounts good person.
Tozawa, good person.
Just being conned
by somebody who suffers from responsibility deficit disorder.
[Braun] How many times you got to do this?
[Cole] One way to put it.
You know I hate bullies!
[Cole] Braun Strowman-- And Chad Gable not gonna turn it around.
Armbar now on top rope.
Got a five count to break and he may have done the damage.
That's how it's done, you morons!
[Cole] Gable hanging upside down the rope still--
Oh! …mouthing off to the rest of the Alpha Academy and pays for it.
Gable may be down and out.
Chad Gable in trouble against Strowman.
[Cole] We are back on Monday Night Raw.
Chad Gable trying to rally against Braun Strowman,
The Monster of All Monsters.
During the commercial break, Pat McAfee was screaming to Gable,
saying, "What does it feel like to be beaten up and bullied around"
like Strowman is doing you, just like you did to Alpha Academy?"
[crowd chanting] One big S-O-B! One big S-O-B!
See what you've started?
-[McAfee] Love it. -[Cole] Everywhere in America--
Oh! And what a Biel.
And Strowman's done playing games.
[McAfee] He's 6'8".
He just tossed Chad Gable to about eight foot across the ring.
And that's what one big S-O-B
can do to any bully…
-[Cole] Well-- -[McAfee] …in Corpus Christi.
[Cole] The freight train is now on the tracks,
and Chad Gable trying to avert disaster.
And he just shoved Tozawa into Strowman.
Tozawa, a human shield for Gable…
Oh! Well, was.
And now Strowman using Tozawa
as a weapon to send Gable back into the ring.
[McAfee] From shield to torpedo, that's Tozawa's night.
[Cole] Ooh, and right to the leg now of Braun Strowman,
as Gable tries to cut Strowman down to size.
[McAfee] Any cowardly move Chad Gable will use.
We know that from him.
[Cole] And Strowman… Oh! My goodness!
Powerslam. Cover on Gable.
-And Chad is done. -[bell dings]
["Monster Of All Monsters" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Braun Strowman.
[Cole] Well, uh, so much for…
the winning streak.
This is incredible.
Braun Strowman about sending Chad Gable through the mat.
[crowd] One, two, three!
[bell dings]
[McAfee] Big Country [indistinct].
["Monster Of All Monsters" playing]
Monster of Monsters showcasing his power and his hatred of bullies.
Chad Gable has a nice dish of comeuppance
here in Corpus Christi.
[Cole] Who is he gonna blame for this loss now?
[McAfee] Certainly not himself. He's a narcissist.
[music fades]
You, you and you!
Get here right now.
[crowd chanting] You suck! You suck!
Tozawa, get in the middle! Get up here.
Right now! Get up here!
Otis, this has to happen. Stay there. Get here.
Come here. What's wrong with you, huh?
What's the matter with you?
[inaudible conversation]
[inaudible]
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Maxxine taking a stand.
[crowd exclaims]
[McAfee] Taking [indistinct] crutch.
[Cole] What an idiot.
[McAfee] Are you kidding me? This coward.
[crowd booing]
Get her out of my ring.
Go! Get out of here!
[Cole] Poor Maxxine can't even walk,
and Gable is demanding her to get out of the ring.
You think I'm done with you?
[Cole] What?
[inaudible]
[McAfee] Yeah!
[yells]
No! Oh, no, no, no!
-[yelling] -[McAfee] Beat his ass, Otis!
Otis, please…
[McAfee] Hell, yeah, Otis!
[Cole] He deserves it, Otis.
We're family! We're family!
[crowd chanting] Otis! Otis! Otis!
[McAfee] Otis let Chad Gable see another day.
[Cole] All I… all I can say is, finally…
Finally, Otis stepped in.
[crowd chanting] Otis! Otis! Otis!
[inaudible]
[Cole] It had to be done.
Otis talked about the Alpha Academy being a family last week
and how Chad Gable took Otis and the others into the group.
He said we're a family.
-[crowd booing] -We're a family.
[Cole] Finally, tonight…
We're family.
[Cole] …Otis had enough of this egotistical,
narcissistic jerk of a bully, Chad Gable.
Yeah, I'm excited that Otis finally seemingly saw the light.
We all wish he would have beat his ass right there in the ring.
But he's a gentleman. Chivalry's not dead.
He escorted his friends to the back.
We love Otis. We hate Chad.
So I want to talk about the other massive story on Monday Night Raw.
The situation between Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio.
Time to bring in the Piero Patistrator
to walk us through what happened last week
on Monday Night Raw. Take it away, Pat.
[McAfee] So last week, these two right here
were a massive piece of the conversation throughout the entire evening.
Roll it.
I know that you are supposed to hate me right now,
but I'd really, really like to see you later.
And I think that you'd really, really like to see me too.
[McAfee] Whoa! Pause it!
That's a hotel room key!
What does that mean? "Well, come to my room later tonight."
This would cause all types of chaos all evening. Roll it.
The key's right here. Nobody's touched it.
Right where?
I didn't touch it.
[McAfee] Somebody's got it.
You can't be here. Get out--
[McAfee] The night would continue.
Liv would interrupt again and… Oh, no! Oh, no!
You're talking about a scene here
for Dominik Mysterio!
Because I don't have that good eyes, but she is straddling that man.
And Rhea Ripley is watching at home, heartbroken. Roll it!
We still have the room key situation.
-We've got missing key cards. -Where it's at?
-Where is the card, anyway? -[McAfee] We found it!
-It was in his pants. -I don't know how it got there.
[speaking in Spanish]
[McAfee in English] He spoke Spanish. He asked the same question as us.
Guys, this is evil. It has to go. It's got to go.
[Cole] McDonagh-- Hold on. Wait a second. Rewind, rewind.
Wait, wait, wait, wait… Bang!
Let's keep an eye on this hand right here.
On Finn Bálor. Play it.
Pause it.
He was on it!
He took the room key!
Finn Bálor put it in his pocket.
We thought it was Dom.
There's no way it was McDumb-uh.
Lito was eating an apple.
El Campeón's got problems.
And Finn Bálor now has a hotel room key in his pocket.
What the hell is going on, Cole?
You know what that means?
[Cole] I do, but I don't know if we can talk about it
live on Monday Night Raw.
[McAfee] I don't know what you're…
I thought maybe they were just chit-chatting.
Then look at these assholes in The Judgment Day,
"I'm a deadbeat dad" on Rey Mysterio.
Are you kidding me? This group sucks, dude.
[Cole] And… and Liv Morgan would have fanned the flames
yesterday, Father's Day, a play off.
Of course, Dominik calling Rhea Ripley "Mami."
"Happy Father's Day, Daddy."
Liv Morgan, wishing Dominik Mysterio.
Right, the inner ring is triple, so that's why--
Boys, this Braun Strowman is turning into a runaway train.
-We gotta derail this guy ASAP. -We're trying.
-He's seven foot tall. -What's up, guys?
-Hey! -What's up?
-What's going on?
Congrats on the win at Clash at the Castle.
Thanks.
And it goes without saying, any issues with Seth Rollins,
I got your back.
I appreciate that.
Let's table that for later.
Right now, I want to get into the fact that you took the key card last week.
You took it in a pretty sketchy way. What's up?
It sounds like you're accusing me of something.
But just so you know, I took that key card to protect Dominik.
It's gone.
It's taken care of. It's in the trash.
Is that okay with you, champ?
Relax. I didn't mean it that way.
You've been acting strange lately, so that's why I'm questioning.
Now tonight you have a qualifying match for Money in the Bank.
I have no doubt you're the next Mr. Money in the Bank.
When you have the contract, though, as champion,
I need to know where's your head at.
I've always been straight with you, Damian.
-Yup. -When I get that briefcase,
I'm gonna cash in and become champ.
On Cody.
God!
And besides, you really want
Rey Mysterio or Jey Uso running around with the briefcase?
Nah, dude. You know you can trust me.
I trust you, fair enough.
-Making sure we're on the same page. -What's going on with Dom?
Dom?
Missing something? What's up?
Yeah. I can't find my purple cow vest.
I thought I left it in here.
-[indistinct] one? -Yeah.
[laughs] Probably left it in Liv's hotel room.
You dirty dog! [laughs]
Carli, that's not helping anybody, dude.
-I'm just… -[speaking in Spanish]
[in English] You don't have a match to get ready for?
Yeah.
Dirty Dom. Let's go.
Let's go.
Do you hear this guy? He's getting too comfy in here.
Did you guys take it?
No. [speaking in Spanish]
[in English] You talked to Rhea?
[scoffs] N-O, spells "No", dude.
I'm staying far away from--
["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[McAfee] Purple cow vest!
[Cole] Yeah. Who the hell would want that?
Smart Finn, smart.
Stay out of the situation with Rhea.
Look what you started.
[McAfee] Me?
I didn't start anything. I just got eyes.
And a journalistic ability.
[bell dings]
[Alicia] The following Triple Threat Match
is a women's Money in the Bank qualifier.
Introducing first, representing Damage CTRL from Tokyo, Japan,
IYO SKY!
[Cole] Well, last year's Money in the Bank winner
looks to qualify so she can defend her crown.
IYO SKY, Zelina Vega and Kiana James
in a Triple Threat qualifying match-up, next.
Well, WWE fans,
here's a special look at The Bikeriders.
Starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy.
Only in theaters this Friday.
[Cole] Money in the Bank is powered by Prime Hydration.
Hydrate with Prime X, gather codes,
complete your treasure map on DrinkPrime.com,
and you might just claim $1 million.
Drink prime, Pat!
[McAfee] I saw the hydration station was massive over there in Scotland.
-[Cole] Oh, massive. -[McAfee] Massive.
Part of a match.
[Cole] IYO SKY looking to qualify for Money in the Bank.
["The Highest" playing]
[McAfee] Get to the chopper!
[Alicia] Next, from Sioux City, Iowa,
Kiana James.
[Cole] Kiana James, golden opportunity here tonight
as she makes her way to the ring.
General Manager, Adam Pearce, of Monday Night Raw
just went on social media and made it official
for two weeks from Saturday, at Money in the Bank at Toronto,
Damian Priest will defend his World Heavyweight Championship
against Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
More on that story, as Raw continues, later on tonight.
Meanwhile, this is about qualifying
for the Money in the Bank contract match,
where you can change your entire career.
Kiana James, of course, came over in the draft from NXT,
beat Natalya in the first match-up here on Monday Night.
[McAfee] In an eight-seater helicopter.

[Cole] She's a business leader, corporate leader.

♪ Todo los LatinoSube tu bandera Si tu eres Latino ♪
[Alicia] And from Queens, New York,
representing the LWO,
Zelina Vega!
[Cole] Let's talk about Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match.
You see above the rings tonight, briefcases are hanging.
Inside those briefcases are contracts
for a World Championship opportunity.
Whenever you want to cash it in,
like Damian Priest did on Drew McIntyre
back at WrestleMania.
Like IYO SKY, who was in this match,
did it SummerSlam last year,
to win a World Title.
[McAfee] Is that the coolest cape of all time?
[Cole] Indeed.
Zelina Vega… All about flash in an opportunity tonight.
Triple Threat rules.
First woman to gain pinfall or submission
will be the first to qualify for the six available spots
in the women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
-Three from Raw, three from SmackDown… -[bell dings]
…competing two weeks from Saturday in Toronto.
And IYO SKY going right after Zelina Vega.
And this is significant here,
because remember when IYO SKY told Damage CTRL last week,
"It's about time we change."
We've got to get grissom, aggressive. We've got to get vicious."
And IYO SKY is doing that tonight.
[McAfee] IYO said that Damage CTRL ran SmackDown.
They're gonna start doing the same thing here on Monday Night Raw.
[Cole] Zelina Vega with a knee to SKY.
Kiana James with a huge opportunity
here on Monday Night.
Roll up off Zelina Vega, shoulders down, and a kick out.
Kiana James calls herself the 1%.
She can be very stunning, can be smug.
She is business savvy.
[Vega grunts]
[McAfee] A good business would be getting in Money in the Bank.
[Cole] She left corporate America.
One of the top young business leaders in the United States
to become a superstar in WWE.
[McAfee] Doesn't matter what business, everybody wants Money in the Bank.
[Cole] Oh!
And IYO SKY, the Genius of the Sky,
last year won the Money in the Bank contract,
cashed in at SummerSlam
to win the Women's Championship.
-[screaming indistinctly] -[crowd cheering]
[McAfee] IYO SKY would love to get the title back as she…
[Cole] Moonsault! Down goes James.
-Yeah! -[McAfee] Perfectly executed from IYO SKY.
[Cole] Zelina Vega with a meteora!
Let's go!
[McAfee] Pinpoint accuracy from LWO's Zelina.
[Cole] Zelina Vega wants to qualify
for Money in the Bank!
Go, Zelina, go!
[Cole] Uh-oh! Risky situation.
All three women, corner of the ring!
Down they go!
Massive superplex.
James, Vega, SKY.
One of these women will qualify and be the first to qualify
for the women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Double cover now, and the official waving it off,
because only one woman can win.
First woman to gain pinfall or submission will win this Triple Threat Match tonight.
[McAfee] Want to save yourself from future controversy by the ref there.
[Cole] Been a very controversial week for referees.
[McAfee] Certainly has.
Eddie Orengo, I thought he was gonna break his back over there in Scotland.
Happy to see he's okay, was able to get to the one, two…
[Cole] You know what we'll show you later tonight
as Zelina Vega hammers away on IYO SKY…
Delivers a big right uppercut.
Zelina Vega, nice counter, kick to the face and…
[continues indistinctly]
[McAfee] And now slipped through.
-[Cole] IYO… -[IYO SKY yells]
[Cole] Look at that. SKY--
Oh! And a backbreaker, knee in the spine.
Later on tonight, we're going to show you exclusive footage
of how CM Punk got the referee shirt
and inserted himself into that World Heavyweight Championship match
at Clash at the Castle.
Oh, and now Kiana James intercepting SKY,
now showing off that gymnastics background.
[McAfee] Smooth transition from the back. Handspring into the shoulder.
[Cole] Now James showing off her power here as well.
Oh! Down goes Zelina Vega, stacks her up for the win.
-And IYO SKY breaking things up. -[crowd] One, two…
[Cole] Shoulders down on James, kick out by Kiana.
[McAfee] Big boot from Kiana James.
IYO SKY…
[IYO SKY gasps]
[McAfee] …got to incapacitate two people here to win a Triple Threat.
Because he other person's gonna interrupt immediately.
And Vega now rolling up James.
James able to roll through.
Big kick by Zelina Vega.
[McAfee] This is awesome chants. Hell, yeah, Corpus Christi.
[crowd] This is awesome!
-[Cole] And Vega, what is… -[McAfee] Toying with IYO--
[Cole] Oh! [laughs]
Come on!
[Cole] She just put SKY to the mat.
[McAfee] Big boot from Zelina Vega.
[Cole] And Kiana able to block.
[IYO SKY yells]
[McAfee] Sets up Zelina.
[Cole] Vega, though, sent SKY flying.
And Zelina Vega.
James sent across the ring. Face-first she goes.
[McAfee] Power by Zelina.
[Cole] IYO SKY… Springboard missile dropkick.
[yells]
[Cole] And IYO SKY fired up.
The reigning Miss Money in the Bank.
Heading up to the second rope.
Zelina Vega, though, with the 619
from her mentor, Rey Mysterio of the LWO.
Vega, up over the top. Code red, shoulders down.
Is it enough to put her away?
Kiana James breaks things up.
[McAfee] Zelina hitting the code red.
Thought that was going to be one, two, three.
Zelina Vega is heading to Money in the Bank.
[Cole] Vega very impressive tonight.
And now Zelina tries out through the apron.
And Vega with a big kick.
-And look who's here. -[Vega] What are you doing here?
[Cole] And look what she's wearing!
[speaking indistinctly]
[McAfee] That's a… That's a purple cow vest.
[Cole] Liv Morgan, the Women's World Champion and…
You've got to believe that's Dominik's vest.
[McAfee] That-- That's a purple cow vest.
[Cole] Now IYO SKY with a meteora to James,
has James in position.
[McAfee] What's…
[Cole] Liv Morgan distracting Vega, took her out of the equation,
and now IYO SKY with the over the moonsault
and the cover,
-to qualify for Money in the Bank. -[bell dings]
["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
IYO SKY!
[Cole] I've only seen one person in my life
ever wear a pink cow vest.
-[McAfee] Purple. -[Cole] Purple, whatever.
[McAfee] Pink is the hair that Zelina had this evening,
and she was dominant.
And then she got distracted by Liv Morgan.
[Cole] Remember, Vega got into it with Liv Morgan last week
when Liv came out in the middle of an LWO match,
and IYO SKY took advantage of the over the moonsault.
She's the first of six to qualify now
for the women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
More qualifying matches on SmackDown this coming Friday.
IYO SKY looks to repeat as Miss Money in the Bank.
-[indistinct] -[McAfee] Maybe take a shot at her.
Liv Morgan, our champion, wearing a purple cow vest.
[Cole] And did you notice…
And here again, IYO SKY one of the six.
But if you look at the vest once again,
if we get another shot of Liv Morgan, there's a…
Well, she's covered up now when I asked her the shot,
but it's DM, obviously, Dominik Mysterio, Judgment Day,
whole nine yards.
[McAfee] That just says "Dom" maybe too?
There's a lot of different ways you can read that as.
That's Dominik Mysterio's purple cow vest.
Okay, how did she get it? Did Dom give it to her?
Did she take it? What do you think?
And why is that room key in Finn Bálor's pocket?
He said, "To protect Dom," but he still has it.
There's a lot going on with that.
-A lot going on with that. -Nonetheless, congratulations, IYO SKY,
now part of the women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Well, earlier on tonight, we showed you…
we told you we were gonna show you what happened last week.
The destructions from Bron Breakker.
[barking]
[McAfee] Every time this man steps foot in an arena,
you can feel the intensity.
[Cole] Welcome to the house of the Dragon.
Ilja Dragunov setting a new battle with Bron Breakker.
A very physical rivalry between these two men.
-[Bron yells] -[Cole] Crushing the face of Breakker.
Steinerline!
Boot to the face of Breakker.
Ramp first!
Breakker continues to do even more damage to the ribs of Dragunov.
[yelling]
[Cole] Full head of steam.
Splitting Dragunov in half!
[crowd] One, two, three!
-[Cole] Breakker with the win. -[bell dings]
Dragunov trying to drag himself back to his feet.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness!
Wait a minute! Ricochet!
Ricochet intercepting Breakker
who had bad intentions.
[McAfee] Ricochet told Ilja, "I have your back."
[Corey] And now dropkicking Breakker into the WWE fans.
[McAfee] Saved Ilja.
-Give me a little bit. We're almost there. -[grunts]
Come on, up you…
-[Ilja gasps] -[objects clattering]
[grunting]
[grunts, groans]
[grunting]
[groaning]
-[man 1] We gotta go. -[man 2] We gotta go.
[man 1] Get out of here!
Hold him.
I can't breathe.
[man 3] We need help!
[indistinct conversation]
[paramedic 1] It's gonna be okay.
[paramedic 2] All right, one second.

[Alicia] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the Intercontinental Champion,
Sami Zayn!
[Cole] Still the Intercontinental champion.
After retaining against Chad Gable Saturday in Scotland,
the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn, is here live,
next on Raw.
[Cole] Raw is in Corpus Christi tonight. We're sold out and it is hot.
[McAfee] As hell.
[Cole] Tropical storm moving in.
Enjoy the sunshine while you can.
Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn is in the ring.
[McAfee] What… [indistinct]
[crowd chanting] Sami! Sami! Sami!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to walk into Corpus Christi tonight…
still your Intercontinental Champion!
I'm not gonna lie, this past Saturday, Clash at the Castle,
Chad Gable didn't make that easy.
[crowd booing]
No, you can boo him.
I don't like him.
But I have to admit it's never easy in the ring with him.
And it's just crazy to think that all this stuff with him,
all the personal stuff with Chad Gable, it all started
just because I beat him in a wrestling match.
And now, after months and months,
after all the ups and downs, after all the highs and lows,
the personal attacks and the sneak attacks,
it is over because I beat him
in a wrestling match.
[crowd cheering]
As far as I'm concerned,
I am moving on from Chad Gable.
But I'd be lying if I said it's gonna be easy
to move on from the Alpha Academy.
Because I feel for those guys. I understand those guys.
I've been those guys.
But if there's one thing
that my time in The Bloodline really made me learn,
it's that everybody has to do things on their own time.
I didn't leave until I was ready.
Jey Uso didn't leave until he was ready.
[chuckles]
You like him.
But I am convinced, especially after tonight,
the Alpha Academy and Otis,
when they are ready, they will leave Chad Gable too.
[crowd cheering]
So now I got to look forward.
I got to look forward and do my job,
which is defend the Intercontinental Championship
against anybody and everybody.
And--
["Destined For Greatness" playing]
[McAfee] Anybody and everybody.
[Cole] That's what Sami said.
[McAfee] Was he referring to a dog…
when he said that?
[Cole] The unpredictable badass, Bron Breakker.
Who knows when Ricochet may be back, if ever,
after the destruction of Breakker last week.
Ilja Dragunov suffering the effects of a beatdown by Breakker as well.
[McAfee] I mean, you just feel it.
It's palpable.
The dogs are barking in Texas.
[song fades]
[crowd booing]
Did you really interrupt me to just stand there?
Or do you actually have something you want to say?
[crowd] Oh!
I don't really have to say much.
I think you know what I'm out here for.
You know what I'm capable of doing in this ring.
I've left a long list of bodies behind me since being here.
And you, my friend, are next on the list.
[Cole] Well…
Because I am taking that Intercontinental Championship.

Pump the brakes there, Sami.
My friend,
my fellow ginger ninja.
You know what I mean?
As everybody knows,
I have been chasing that title there
for the last… for a very long five years,
putting on banger after banger…
[crowd chanting] After banger, after banger!
So if you're gonna give out opportunities for it,
maybe you should consider me.
You know what I mean?
But I want you to know, mate.
I respect you a lot, fella.
If and when that opportunity does arrive…
And this is not personal, I mean it.
Because I would do anything
to get my hands on that
whether it's over your cold, dead hands or not, mate,
I'm coming after that.
Hey! Hey!
[crowd barking]
You're just gonna walk in here, act like I'm not even standing here?
Are you out of your mind? Huh?
Nobody cares about you,
the list of championships that you haven't won,
the sob story that goes with it, all right?
We all know what happens
when you get in my way.
And right now, you are standing in my way
and I will kick your ass too.
[crowd gasping]
[man] Breakker! Breakker! Breakker!
You're gonna kick my ass?
What are you gonna do?
Put me on your stupid bleeding list?
Huh?
Let me explain something to you, mate.
I get it. You're cocky.
You're on the run of a lifetime here
as a new, hot thing in the WWE.
The new, hot kid.
But as far as this IC title goes,
you have absolutely no skin in the game.
And you are the new kid.
So why don't you get to the back of the line, Breakker?
Before I make you.
[crowd gasping]
[inaudible conversation]
Well…
[chuckles] It seems like you guys really need to sort this out.
So… so here's what I'm gonna do.
I am gonna go back there and I'm gonna talk to Adam Pearce.
Because I'm pretty sure the people of Corpus Christi
don't want to see the two of you talk it out.
[crowd cheering]
I think they want to see the two of you
fight it out right here, later tonight.
[crowd cheering]
["Worlds Apart" playing]
[Cole] You go, Sami.
Pat, do we get to vote?
Because if we do,
I want to see Breakker and Sheamus square off tonight.
Because that's gonna be a banger.
I absolutely would love to see Bron Breakker
in a ring tonight against the vet Sheamus.
And Sami Zayn needs to know now,
a lot of badasses are looking at him.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next.
It's all about revenge for this man, Dragon Lee.
Carlito cost me the chance to tag.

It was Clash at the Castle at the OVO Hydro,
the highest grossing arena event in the history of WWE.
[McAfee] Wow! Thank you, Scotland.
[Cole] Also at Clash at the Castle,
the battle for the Women's Tag Team Titles.
[Samantha] The following is a Triple Threat Match,
and it is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
[Cole] Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn look to bring tag team gold home.
We're very proud to be Scottish.

[Dawn] They had absolutely zero chance of beating us
when we had all of Scotland behind us.
I'm Jackie Redmond, backstage with our brand-new
Women's Tag Team Champions, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.
Ladies, congratulations again on winning championship gold.
What a night at Clash at the Castle.
I mean, have you ladies come down from the high yet or what?
No, Jackie, I don't think we have.
It was a dream come true to win these titles
in front of our friends, in front of our family.
And we got to celebrate with them.
It is everything we've worked towards and more.
But time for celebration is over.
And the hard work starts now.
Because it doesn't matter where in the world we are,
we will take on and take out anyone
who tries to get in the way of us and our titles.
-[giggles] -Your titles? [chuckles]
Uh, remind me, Zoey, we beat them pretty handily last week, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, and even though the ref missed it,
I am certain that at Clash,
I made Jade Cargill tap out.
That's right, dude. And the way we see it is that
you two are just keeping those titles nice and warm for us.
While we focus on Money in the Bank.
And whether you like it or not,
we're coming for those and taking what's rightfully ours.

Only in theaters on Friday.
Dragon Lee sends Carlito into the corner.
-And a big dropkick. -[McAfee] This is what Dragon Lee is.
-Fast, explosive, electrifying. -[Cole] Cover. And a kick out
Carlito cost Dragon Lee an opportunity to be a part of WrestleMania.
Dragon Lee is not forgotten as he drives Carlito out of the ring.
[McAfee] Carlito thinks he's earned that opportunity,
but Dragon Lee thinks that Carlito is incredibly jealous,
and has led to quite a war.
[Cole] And now sent into the barricade, and Carlito has taken over.
[indistinct]
[McAfee] Busting his back over the top of the barricade
as dumbass Dom offers up an apple back to Carlito.
[crowd booing]
[McAfee] Every city we travel to,
they all have one thing in common.
They hate disgusting Dominik Mysterio.
[Cole] Oh, that is for sure.
I don't think Liv Morgan finds him that disgusting, however.
[McAfee] Yeah, that is a fascinating development.
-[Cole] Well… -What you gonna do? Hit me.
Hit me.
You can't hit me, huh?
[indistinct conversation]
[Cole] Rey, obviously, a lot of history here.
-So you think I'm scared, huh? -[speaks indistinctly]
[Cole] Dominik Mysterio brought Carlito into the LWO
only to be backstabbed--
Oh, and Dragon Lee
-sends Carlito to the floor hard. -[shouts indistinctly]

Here's the cover, hook to the leg on Carlito,
and a kick out at two.
Joaquin Wilde, Rey Mysterio at ringside for the LWO.
Dirty Dom and JD McDonagh in the corner with Carlito tonight.
Dominik's got a lot on his mind.
His vest went missing and Liv Morgan showed up with it.
[McAfee] There's a lot happening in The Judgment Day.
Carlito's the newest member and he's in a fight with Dragon Lee.
[Cole] He's not a member yet. He's an associate or prospect.
-As Damian Priest would call. -[McAfee] You're right.
[Cole] Nice release, German by Dragon Lee. and Lee now caught by Carlito.
Down goes Lee.
[McAfee] Swinging neckbreaker from Carlito.
[Cole] Now Carlito into the cover.
Looking to ruin the opportunity to get revenge,
and Lee kicks at two.
Look at the impact. Dragon Lee hits so hard.
[crowd gasps]
[McAfee] So quick, so agile,
using his momentum against him.
Carlito with a massive neckbreaker.
[Cole] I was thinking earlier.
JD McDonagh is probably, like, the last person
that should be giving Dominik advice about anything.
[McAfee] I mean, there's a lot of bad people around Dominik
-at this moment. -[Cole] He's a bad person as well.
[McAfee] Bingo. That all started when he turned his back
on Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, who's out here.
[gasps]
[McAfee] Great play by Dragon Lee.
Oh, no!
[Cole] And Lee now.
Oh! And Carlito!
And Dragon Lee looking to put Carlito away.
Lee is so fun to watch.
A big back body drop.
[McAfee] That's what Carlito has in this match at any given moment.
Overwhelming power advantage.
[Cole] Veteran instinct, former Intercontinental Champion,
the United States Champion.
Now, Dra--
Dragon Lee, great balance, lands on his feet.
-[McAfee] What? -[Cole] Oh, my goodness!
-Is that enough to put him away? -[crowd] One, two…
[Cole] Almost had him, Carlito kicks out.
[McAfee] Sit-down powerbomb from Dragon Lee.
[Cole] Meanwhile, breaking news right now on social media.
Well, we got breaking news of our own, wait a minute, right here in the arena.
Liv Morgan, the Women's Champion has showed up once again,
wearing Dominik's vest.
Which we learned earlier, has Dominik's name on it.
Give me my vest. Where did you get it?
[inaudible]
Give me my vest.
[Cole] Oh! from behind!
Zelina, who lost the match-up earlier
because of a distraction by Liv Morgan.
And the brawl's on!
And now Dominik and Joaquin Wilde going at each other.
That's Rey Mysterio getting into the fray.
And look at that.
JD McDonagh takes advantage of the distraction.
Dragon Lee into a backstabber by Carlito.
Cover by Carlito
who picks up the win.
[bell dings]
["Bad Apple" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Carlito!
[Cole] Well, the Liv Morgan's story continues to get really strange.
[McAfee] Somehow it always ends up aces for Judgment Day.
[Cole] Yeah. Judgment Day allowed Carlito to pick up the win over Dragon Lee.
Dragon Lee not able to get his revenge here tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take you back
to this past Saturday in Scotland,
Clash at the Castle, Drew McIntyre's home town.
Priest defending the World Title.
I don't know how Damian Priest didn't break his leg.
[McAfee] Everybody's talking about his leg,
but how about his head almost hitting the side of the ring?
Drew McIntyre would obviously take advantage.
[Cole] Later on in the match-up, referee Eddie Orengo there,
getting out of harm's way, but not that time, into the barricade.
Drew McIntyre hit the Claymore and the--
His homeland of Scotland would count to ten here
before another official would show up.
And this official would only count to two.
And then he would stop, and it was revealed.
It was Drew McIntyre's archenemy,
the man he's obsessed with, CM Punk.
And Punk would go low
and would screw Drew McIntyre
out of the World Heavyweight Championship
when Damian Priest hit South of Heaven.
Now, how did CM Punk come into possession of a referee shirt?
Well, this is a WWE social media exclusive.
We're gonna show you the moments before CM Punk
ran down to the ring.
This is how Punk became an official for the night.
Hey, uh. Jess. Jess.
Jess, you got an extra shirt?
Give me your shirt.
-My shirt? -Yes. Give me.
-Uh, yeah. -Give me that one. I don't care.
-Just give me your shirt. -I got this one.
-You need a mic? -Don't worry about a mic.
-[Jess] Can I have that back? -[CM Punk] You'll have it back.
[Jess] Okay. All right.
[McAfee] There's no way that Jessica knew he was gonna do that.
[Cole] Well, that man, Drew McIntyre.
Is tonight the night?
[McAfee] Yeah, I think tonight is the night, right?
[Cole] Well, meanwhile, McIntyre breaks his silence.
Wow. Live next.
Hey! Hey! What are you doing putting hands on me?
Who told you to do that? I never said that.
And I'm sick of your crap, Maxxine.
Miss Drama Queen over there, making herself center of atten--
Wait. What are you doing?
Packing. I'm leaving.
You're… leaving? Where--
Where are you going? We're a family. You don't leave.
I'm done.
[crowd cheering]
You don't say when you're done, I say when you're done!
And you're done! You're all expelled!
You're gonna be nothing without me.
Little, tiny, ineffectual nothings.
And I'm everything.
I'm huge, I'm massive, and I'm gonna do something big.
I'm gonna win Money in the Bank.
And I'm gonna do something that failure Otis could never do.
I'm gonna cash it in
and become World Champion.
[McAfee] Get all that.
Otis said we're done!
["Gallantry" playing]
[McAfee] What will this man say?
[Cole] Clash at the Castle should be renamed Curse of the Clash for that man.
[Alicia] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Drew McIntyre!
[Cole] I guess, in many ways, uh,
Drew McIntyre's obsession with CM Punk cost him a championship.
Again, he was so upset and irate after the show, this happened.
First, he went after a referee, Eddie Orengo.
[indistinct] I didn't see anything!
-What are you doing? -[bleep]
[Cole] Then he put his hands on my broadcast colleague,
Corey Graves, as well.
[bleep]
[Cole] And then Wade Barrett finally would be
the one to talk some sense into Drew, and at least settle him down momentarily.
We can tell you that Drew McIntyre has been fined for his actions…
[bleep]
[Cole] …after the show this past Saturday.
[McAfee] Drew was the one punished.
[Cole] He put his hands on an official and an announcer.
[McAfee] I mean, with everything that happened.
[McAfee speaks indistinctly]
[crowd chanting] CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
[chanting continues]
CM Punk…
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
CM-- [clears throat] CM Punk.
I can't do this anymore. [clears throat]
Oh, screw this company.
I quit.
[mic thuds]
[Cole] What?
Don't talk to me, I'm serious.
-There's ways we can handle this. -I'm serious.
Do not end it like this. Listen to me.
[Cole] This happened moments ago.
I can't do this anymore. [clears throat]
Oh, screw this company.
I quit.
[mic thuds]
[Cole] Then our cameras kept rolling during the commercial break.
Paul, I'm serious. He's got you fooled too.
I heard what you said at the press conference.
I've got to get out. I'm done.
-I'm done! -Let me talk to him.
Drew…
-Let's go back in my-- -I'm serious.
I understand. Let's go back and talk.
Nobody wants--
Got everybody fooled from the top to the bottom.
-Come on, calm down. -I'm just--
You know, the problem with Drew McIntyre is that he never gave CM Punk a chance
when Punk returned to this company a number of months ago.
He would never believe that CM Punk could change.
The obsession with CM Punk has cost Drew McIntyre
the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania,
at Clash at the Castle, and now, Pat,
it's obviously cost him his career.
I'm bummed out. I don't like that Drew McIntyre quit, not one bit.
Especially how it ended. That's not good.
That's like missing a three-foot putt.
Well, Drew McIntyre has apparently quit WWE.
[McAfee] We'll miss you, Drew.
I love Drew, man.
["Still The Baddest" playing]
-He got screwed. -[bell dings]
[Alicia] The following contest is a tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing the team of Dakota Kai and Kairi Sane,
Damage CTRL!
[Cole] I'm sure WWE social media
will be following the Drew McIntyre story throughout the week.
Meanwhile, we'll show you how this match-up came about.
It was last week, Lyra Valkyria and IYO SKY.
IYO would pick up the win now,
but Valkyria almost had the match won
-before Damage CTRL got involved. -[bell dings]
And then after the match,
it ended up being a three-on-one assault on Lyra Valkyria
before Valkyria got some help from Katana Chance and Kayden Carter
after SKY went back into the ring for more.
Remember what IYO SKY said.
She told Damage CTRL, "We've got to get more aggressive."
We've got to get more vicious and take control on Monday Night Raw."
[McAfee] She wins the first Money in the Bank match.
Now I'm assuming she's expecting these two to be…
[bell dings]
[Cole] And here we go. Damage CTRL right out of the blocks.
Bell rings and they go right after the former Tag Team Champions.
[McAfee] Could be quite a tone-setting evening
for Damage CTRL here on Monday Night Raw.
[Cole] Carter and Chance were the tag champs
before Asuka and Kairi Sane took the titles from them.
And this is Katana Chance starting things off.
Into the corner, knocks Kairi Sane off the apron.
Now goes to work on Dakota Kai.
[McAfee] Quick as a hiccup here.
[Cole] Yeah. Dynamic.
Chance with a drop kick.
Tag made. Here comes Kayden Carter.
Double team action from the former Tag Team Champions.
Look at that spinning around.
-[McAfee] Party starting. -[Cole] Kayden Carter now and a splash.
[screams]
[McAfee] Quick, so much happening. You almost get lost in the story.
[Cole] Kayden… Life of the party, tremendous athlete.
Once won a, uh-- Here's a cover now.
Hook of the leg.
And Kairi Sane saving the match-up.
Kayden Carter once won a National Championship
at Division-II two college hoops.
[McAfee] Great athlete.
[Cole] Trained in part by these Dudley Boyz.
Ooh! And a stomp right to the back of the head by Dakota Kai.
And here comes Kairi Sane.
Kairi, a former NXT Women's Champion,
two-time WWE tag champ.
Oh!
Off the top rope, plants the Insane Elbow.
For the win now,
and Katana Chance breaks things up.
Carter thought that was it and so did I.
What a monstrous elbow from Kairi Sane.
[Cole] Dakota kicked Chance out of the ring and now…
Come on, Kairi.
…again going to work up Kayden Carter.
Look who's here. Lyra Valkyria.
[McAfee] Here to motivate Chance and Carter.
[Cole] Now Damage CTRL with a two on one attack.
Again, referee Eddie Orengo's had a rough 48 hours,
hands full of this match-up tonight.
[yelling indistinctly]
[Cole] Valkyria trying to cheer Carter on,
and now distracting Dakota Kai
after the beat-down last week at the hands of Damage CTRL.
Carter turns thing around, plants Kairi Sane.
[McAfee] Is that distraction gonna be enough?
[Cole] Hanging on.
-Carter with a kick. -[McAfee] Oh!
[Cole] Tag made.
Katana Chance gonna go up to the top rope.
The after party!
-Cover! -[crowd] One, two, three!
-[Cole] And a win for Carter and Chance. -[bell dings]
["Life of the Party" playing]
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
the team of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance!
[Cole] Life of the party!
[McAfee] Absolutely.
The winners of the evening,
Lyra Valkyria, Chance and Carter.
[inaudible conversation]
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen, it's been made official
by General Manager Adam Pearce.
That man, Bron Breakker, goes after Sheamus, one on one.
A banger on the way. Live, next.
♪ Watch me do what I got to do ♪
[Cole] We kicked off Monday Night Raw tonight with the return of Seth Rollins,
who would confront the World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest.
Don't worry about any ladders, don't worry about any briefcase
At Money in the Bank,
how about it's Seth "Freakin" Rollins versus Damian "El Campeón" Priest
-for the World Title? -[crowd cheering]
This is between you and me, man to man.
It's a simple yes or no.
Do you want a shot at my World Title or not?
[crowd cheering]
Well, if it's that simple,
then I accept your challenge.
But just remember this, Priest.
As long as I'm around here,
this show will always and forever be
Monday Night…
-Ro… -[crowd] Rollins!
[Cole] And General Manager Adam Pearce
would make it official.
Two weeks from Saturday, in Toronto,
Damian Priest will defend his World Heavyweight Championship
against Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Remember, Rollins lost the title to McIntyre at WrestleMania.
Priest would cash in on McIntyre to become the current champion.
I don't get it.
Lyra has no beef with us. I don't understand.
Quiet!
Damage CTRL has to change.
Or I will change things myself.
[Cole] I knew IYO wasn't gonna be happy.
[Cole] You know, Monday Night Raw, Pat, is presented by…
[McAfee] What's that?
-Oh, Bikeriders. -[Cole] Yes.
Starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy.
-It's only in theaters… -[McAfee] When? I think this Friday.
-[Cole] It's this Friday. -[both] The Bikeriders.
[McAfee] I ride, do you?
[Cole] Thank you for sponsoring Monday Night Raw.
[McAfee] I'd love Bikeriders, can't wait to watch.
Love a good motorcycle movie.
And there's the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn.
Very interested in this upcoming match-up.
[McAfee] Ladies and gentlemen,
it is…
[shouting] fight night…
baby!
[Written In My Face playing]
[McAfee] That one hurt.
-It is fight night. -[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first,
from Dublin, Ireland,
weighing in at 267 pounds,
Sheamus!
[Cole] That man has accomplished everything
and what will be a Hall of Fame career when all is said and done.
Multi-time World Champion,
United States Champion,
Tag Team Champion.
Mr. Money in the Bank, Royal Rumble winner.
But there's one title that Sheamus has never held.
That is the Intercontinental Championship.
And Sheamus would love to get an opportunity at Sami Zayn.
Sitting here at ringside with an eye on his future competition.
[Cole] Too bad he's not on commentary with us.
[McAfee] We'd love to hear his thoughts.
Once again, presale for a show goes out tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.
[Cole] A comedy show in Toronto July 4th.
["Destined For Greatness" playing]
[Alicia] And his opponent,
from Atlanta, Georgia,
weighing in at 250 pounds.
Bron Breakker!
[Cole] The unpredictable badass, Bron Breakker.
Pat, you got to believe, the winner of this match-up
is gonna earn himself an opportunity
with Sami Zayn and the Intercontinental title somewhere down the road.
[McAfee] I think that's what we're all assuming,
and I think what we're all looking forward to
is how does Bron Breakker battle against a legendary superstar like Sheamus?
We've seen Ricochet make quick meat of everything put in front of him.
[inaudible]
[McAfee] An absolute beast.
[Cole] Breakker made quick meat of Ricochet last week,
and god knows if we'll ever see him again.
[McAfee] Quick work to that windshield as well.
[Cole] And this should be a banger.
Now, Sheamus called Breakker the new kid.
Number of times.
-[McAfee] "Kid." Couple times. -[bell dings]
[Cole] Exactly.
If you're Breakker,
and you want to make a name for yourself on Monday Night Raw,
knock off Sheamus.
[McAfee] Fight Sheamus. That'll do it.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Cole] Breakker goes 6'0", 250.
[McAfee] Former football fullback.
Amateur wrestler.
-Absolute stud. -One, two, three!
Back off. [indistinct]
[McAfee] Multi-generational talent.
[Cole] Sudden impact [indistinct]. As powerful as they come,
but a nice headlock takedown, and Breakker with a counter.
[McAfee] Does have a little bit of a short fuse.
-Bron Breakker. -[Cole] Sheamus does too.
[McAfee] Bingo. That's why we're in for fireworks tonight.
A banger in store!
[Cole] That Irish temper.
Sheamus, the veteran,
using his skills to try to wear Breakker down.
[McAfee] Called him a kid, welcomed him to the business couple of times tonight.
Obviously, Bron Breakker wants to be a champion.
He doesn't want to be talked to as if he's some kid.
[Cole] Bron Breakker has finished-- Oh, look at this!
Both men spilling outside the ring.
Sheamus hit hard, stunned momentarily, and Breakker taking advantage.
[McAfee] NXT Champion, of course.
[crowd shouting indistinctly]
[Cole] NXT UK Champion, one of only three men
to beat Gunther when Gunther arrived on the scene in WWE.
Big uppercut by Sheamus.
[McAfee] Now he's hunting the Intercontinental Title of Sami Zayn.
Sheamus said, "Uh-uh, wait in line, fella."
[Cole] Incredible battle last week between Breakker and Dragunov.
Bron Breakker now, slips out from behind.
[McAfee] Uh-oh.
[Cole] Here's that quickness I was talking about.
Look at him go. He runs the ropes!
And I'm not kidding you, folks, and I said this a couple of weeks ago.
People reached out and thought I was crazy.
Twenty three miles per hour.
That is how Bron Breakker runs the ropes.
That's how fast this man is.
[McAfee] That was at the end of a four-show week,
so he was a little bit exhausted.
Everybody's thinking he could get up to 25, 30 miles an hour.
[McAfee] It's like he hits a NOS can,
in the car, like Fast and the Furious, coming off of the ropes.
[Cole] Sheamus, though--
Oh! Turns it around into an Irish Curse backbreaker.
The thing about the wily veteran, Sheamus.
He's seen them all,
he's battled them all, all types, all sizes.
[McAfee] You seen guys able to shift gears,
but I don't know if anybody can move like Bron Breakker.
[Cole] And Sheamus with a classic rolling senton.
-And now… -[Bron groans]
[Cole] …slowing down the pace.
This here, this classic Sheamus.
Wear your opponent down, get down and dirty with him.
[McAfee] You got to think, at some point, though,
the dog's gonna start running wild.
[Cole] A couple of well-placed elbows to the ears of Sheamus.
And Breakker… Oh, what a throw.
Breakker just tossing Sheamus.
You have to wonder what's going through that man's mind, Sami Zayn,
who most likely will meet one of these two men
for the Intercontinental Championship.
Oh! And Breakker, shoulder-first into the post.
And now Sheamus driving Breakker up over the top rope
and right in front of the announce table.
And Sheamus now on the, uh…
-the apron. -[yells]
[Cole] Oh, and a running clothesline takes Breakker down.
[crowd cheering]
[McAfee] Sheamus likes everything about this.
[Cole] A man who loves to fight, loves physicality.
Three!
Four!
Official Shawn Bennett with the count is--
Ooh, Breakker hangs Sheamus up on the top rope.
-[McAfee] Backbreaker from Bron. -[Cole] Look out.
Bron Breakker now…
Running knee drives Sheamus to the floor and he hits the announce table hard.
And now Breakker… Breakker coming out of the ring now,
and Sheamus in deep trouble.
-Bron Breakker from the apron-- -[McAfee] What the…
[Cole] Oh, my God!
You got to be kidding me!
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Cole] Both men are down!
Sheamus may be dead!
[Cole] Yeah, Sheamus survived, folks, but I don't know how.
Bron Breakker in control of Sheamus
who's trying to fight back into this match-up.
Bron Breakker flying off the apron into our announce table
is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.
Oh! Knees to the midsection,
cover by Breakker on Sheamus
who kicks out at two.
[McAfee] This dog, Bron, jumped, like, 15 feet over our commentary table.
[Cole] Even our Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn, was impressed.
Take another look at the double knees now to the midsection.
[McAfee] He still has enough power, juice, energy
to throw Sheamus around.
[Cole] Again the winner of this match-up, you have to believe, will face Sami Zayn.
Future is now. You don't like it?
[continues indistinctly]
[Cole] That's the thing about Breakker,
he gets in your face, doesn't care who you are.
Talks trash.
-No respect. -Come on! Come on!
[McAfee] He's on a one-way trip to the top level.
[indistinct shouting]
[Cole] Yeah, but he's got to get through Sheamus to get there.
And the Celtic warrior back to his feet.
Trying to win the only title that's eluded him in his illustrious career,
the Intercontinental Championship.
Oh, down goes Breakker, here comes Sheamus.
[McAfee] Sheamus taking the fight to Bron Breakker now.
-[Cole] Follows it up with a clothesline. -[McAfee] How much can Bron handle?
[Cole] And Sheamus…
Down goes Breakker, planting him.
Cover by the Celtic warrior, hooks the leg,
forces Breakker to kick at two.
If you're if you're Shane-- Sami Zayn, right?
Who on earth do you think--
It was my phone ringing.
Who on earth would Sami Zayn want to face, Breakker or Sheamus?
[McAfee] I think Sami Zayn is looking at two guys
he doesn't want to see in the ring right now.
Both these guys flying.
Sheamus seems to be stronger than he's ever been,
more focused than he's ever been,
and Bron Breakker has been on an absolute terror.
That's life as a champion, though.
For me, I don't know if you want to get in the way
of the freight train, Bron Breakker
[Cole] Sheamus now. Breakker-- Look how quick. Slips from behind.
Now he's got Sheamus where he wants him. Blow to the spine by Breakker.
[speaking indistinctly]
[McAfee] Bron fights with Sheamus on fight night.
[Cole] Sheamus just does not give up.
He keeps coming forward and plowing forward.
Breakker look at that!
Oh, my goodness! Oh, God.
Slipped on the ropes.
Not quite sure how either one of those survived, but they did.
And now Sheamus lifting Breakker up on his shoulders.
[McAfee] And Sheamus able to capitalize.
[Cole] And now turns it into White Noise on Bron Breakker.
Cover now, hook of the leg.
Almost had him, and a kick out.
[McAfee] That's the…
[Cole] Again, Pat, you…
jumped to the top of the ropes in your career.
It's slippery, oily.
[McAfee] Absolutely. Anytime you're doing that, it's high risk, high reward.
The risk is that that can happen. You slip, you bobble.
Sheamus able to take advantage and flip the script here.
[Cole] Now Sheamus trying to take control, sends Breakker across the ring,
into the corner hard, who explodes out of the corner with a clothesline.
[crowd booing]
[McAfee] Bron Breakker able to regather himself.
Eyeing down Sheamus.
As the dogs were barking at Corpus--
[Cole] Oh! And a running knee!
Cover by Sheamus for the win
and maybe an Intercontinental shot,
and a kick out by Breakker.
[McAfee] Sami Zayn on his feet ringside. How could you not be?
An instant banger on Monday Night Raw.
[crowd] One, two…
[Cole] And somehow, Breakker able to kick out.
And Sheamus may be closing in on a big here…
big win here on Monday Night.
[crowd] One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
[Cole] Ten beats of the Bodhran.
[McAfee] Beat down Bron Breakker.
Sheamus can feel it.
[crowd whooping]
[Cole] Calling for the Brogue.
[crowd whooping]
Wait a minute!
-Ludwig Kaiser attacking the knee… -[bell dinging]
that he injured a couple of weeks ago on Sheamus.
Kaiser assaulting Sheamus.
Remember they had a physical battle a couple of weeks ago
that Kaiser ended up winning.
And now bounced face-first off the ring post.
Bounced right off our announce table.
And Sheamus now, beating the hell out of Kaiser,
sending him to the timekeeper's area.
And Breakker with a spear!
-The match is over. -[Cole] The match is over.
-The match is over. -[grunts]
[Cole] Kaiser's interference--
[Shawn] The match is over.
[McAfee] Caused a disqualification.
[Cole] Now officials coming down here, they know what Breakker's capable of.
Come on. You gotta get back.
[Cole] And here's the problem.
Breakker has been pissed off at the world
because he believes they cost many opportunities here.
And once again tonight, cost another opportunity,
perhaps in the Intercontinental Championship
after the assault by Ludwig Kaiser on Sheamus.
[McAfee] Everybody understands that Bron can destroy everybody out here.
Including Ludwig.
[Cole] He demands opportunity, he gets opportunity.
And now Kaiser back into the fray, once again assaulting Sheamus.
Ludwig Kaiser doesn't want Sheamus to have any opportunity,
and again exposing the bad leg.
The bad leg of Sheamus.
And Kaiser has Sheamus in the position
to do what he did to members of The New Day.
To do what he did to his former partner, Giovanni Vinci.
Ludwig Kaiser, with a crazed look in his eyes.
Oh, wait a minute! Interception!
-A spear by Breakker! -[screams]
[crowd whooping]
[Cole] The amount of ground that that man covered
in a short amount of time…
[indistinct conversation]
[Cole] …is sensational.
[McAfee] He's like a jungle cat.
This dog just sawed Ludwig Kaiser in half in front of Sami Zayn.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[indistinct conversation]
Is that what you want?
Any time you want it. Any time.
[Cole] Oh, boy.
[indistinct shouting]
Come on. What are you doing?
-[woman screams] -[crowd cheering]
[Sami] Come on! Come on, tough guy! Come on!
-Come on! -Let's go.
Anybody seen my vest?
You seen my vest? No?
-No. -No? Idiot.
-Anybody? -[woman] Dominik!
[crowd cheering]
[sighs] Please give me my vest.
[chuckles] Ooh, I like it when you're bossy.
You want your vest back?
-Yeah. I want my vest back. -Okay.
Only if you take it off of me yourself.
[crowd cheering]
Oh, are you nervous?
I'll help you out a little bit.
[chuckles]
[crowd cheering]
Dom!
[speaks in Spanish]
[in English] I was-- I was just getting my vest, bro.
-She had my vest. -Grab your stuff and go to the clubhouse.
Rough. [giggles]
-Liv? -Mmm-hmm?
Can you leave the poor guy alone?
He wants nothing to do with you.
Well, I think he wants everything to do with me.
[chuckles]
Oh, boy. She's loca.
Woods, Kofi,
good evening.
Two weeks ago, Authors of Pain beat the hell out of the both of you
and pinned you one, two, three, live on TV.
And then last week, you cost AOP their shot
at becoming the World Tag Team Champions.
And not only that, they gave me a taste of my own medicine.
The numbers game. That's real cute.
You beat me up two on one.
Now, on the way here,
I was thinking about doing something really out of control tonight.
But then Scarlett had this great idea that involves me not going to jail.
We're both wondering what that fight would have looked like
if it was one on one.
So a mission, a challenge to either one of you, whoever wants to take it.
Next week, meet me one on one in that ring.
One of you stays in the back, the other comes out to fight,
and I'll leave my guys in the back. It's real simple.
And quite honestly, I'm hoping it's you, Kofi,
because we all know you'd rather have Woods in the back anyways, right?
Tick-tock.
Karrion Kross, Final Testament,
you'll came over to Raw, and the very first thing that you did
was set your sights on the history makers.
The record breakers. You'll set your sights on The New Day.
Now, Kross,
we know you've been around the world, beating people down, breaking bones.
But since you've been here, you haven't really done anything at all.
You have one accolade, one, as the NXT Champion.
What have you done since then?
We are the greatest tag team of all time,
so who are you to give us any kind of advice?
And you want to talk next week about leaving the partners in the back,
about going one on one.
Karrion, fine. I--
And since you want to call my name out,
I accept your challenge.
[crowd cheering]
See you next week, dawg.
Tick-tock. [chuckles]
Let's go!
[Cole] Kofi and Kross next week.
We wanted show you what happened moments ago.
Watch Bron Breakker. Talk about speed.
Bang! That's incredible, Pat.
[McAfee] Absolutely.
Twenty three miles an hour around the corner.
[yelling]
[McAfee] Spearing Ludwig Kaiser to a different spiritual place.
Well, he is an absolute sick athlete.
If you're Sami Zayn, the Intercontinental Champion,
maybe you don't want Bron Breakker coming after your title.
Yeah, I would never want to be on the other end of Bron Breakker.
Well, you know…
And I wasn't. I actually hopped out of the Royal Rumble.
Friday Night SmackDown, Chicago, Allstate Arena
this coming Friday.
Tickets available. Comes your way on FOX.
It is going to be pretty incredible
because the man who forced Drew McIntyre to actually quit WWE earlier tonight
is going to be there.
In his hometown of Chicago,
CM Punk will be live one night only on SmackDown this coming Friday night.
Monday Night Raw next week heads to…
[McAfee] Indianapolis, Indiana!
[Cole] The home to Pat McAfee,
Triple Threat qualifying match-up.
Who will qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match?
Also, on the women's side, IYO SKY qualified earlier on tonight.
Who will join her from Monday Night Raw?
Triple Threat qualifying match-ups for Money in the Bank

-[McAfee] Lucky to call that place home. -[Cole] Very.

So grab an American Mule with Wheatley American Vodka

Don't have to ask me twice. Can we start now?
Jey Uso set for action.

We'll be in the home of Caitlin Clark, Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
[McAfee] Breaking records all over the place.
Obviously, Caitlin Clark is an absolute phenomenon.
[Cole] I might have to make an appearance in person,

-I am dripping in sweat. -[Cole] You are drenched.
[McAfee] We yeeted the whole commercial break.
I don't know what you're expecting from me,
but I do know that Finn Bálor has his eyes set on Money in the Bank.

WWE Hall of Famer,
Rey Mysterio!
[Cole] Pat, as we wait for this match-up to get underway,
I do want to report, remember earlier tonight,
Drew McIntyre came to the ring and said that he was quitting WWE.
We can tell you as of this moment,
Drew McIntyre has deactivated all of his social media accounts.
[McAfee] Gosh, that's never good.
[Cole] Drew McIntyre, upset with the way he was screwed out of the championship
in his homeland at Clash at the Castle, has had enough.
He's allowed his obsession of CM Punk to perhaps cost him his career.
[McAfee] What? I mean, he…
He got screwed in the town in which he went to university,
in the town in which he got signed to the WWE,
in the town in which
-he has history and family and friends. -[bell dings]
[Cole] Well, there's a lot of ways to look at that scenario
and can't get into that right now
because we got to concentrate on our main event tonight, which is--
[McAfee] Drew McIntyre not being a part of the WWE anymore is a big deal.
[Cole] Bálor, Mysterio, Uso.
One of these men will qualify
for the Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match
two weeks from Saturday.
Mysterio has accomplished so much in his legendary Hall of Fame career.
Never been Money in the Bank.
He's been in two Ladder Matches,
Money in the Bank Ladder Matches that is.
2011, 2020, in his career.
Finn Bálor has been in two as well, 2018, 2019.
Uso has never been a part of that match.
[McAfee] All these guys would do very well in the Money in the Bank match
for different reasons.
Rey Mysterio for things like that.
[Cole] Rey Mysterio, nice deep arm drag.
And Bálor frustrated.
[McAfee] WWE Hall of Famer still flying around.
[Cole] Triple Threat rules.
First man to gain pinfall or submission will the first of six
to qualify for the Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match,
three from SmackDown. Three from Raw.
Of course, Damian Priest was the reigning Money in the Bank contract winner.
He held that title nearly 250 days before he cashed it in
at WrestleMania on the aforementioned Drew McIntyre.
Ah! Face first.
[McAfee] As of a few years back, it was like 80% cash--
[Cole] Still is. Just under 80%.
[McAfee] 80% cash in, become World Champ.
[Cole] And on the women's side, 100%.
[McAfee] Obviously, one of the biggest nights of the year.
[Cole] Mysterio taking out Bálor.
[crowd shouting indistinctly]
[Cole] Who is going to qualify for Money in the Bank?
[McAfee] Somebody's career changes.
[Cole] We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
Who will the first man to qualify
for the Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match,
two weeks from Saturday in Toronto, Canada?
Will it be Uso, Bálor, or Mysterio?
Triple Threat rules, first man to gain pinfall or submission will advance.
[McAfee] Finn Bálor has been in pretty solo control.
[Cole] I thought you were gonna talk about the, uh,
circus he's been involved in the Judgment Day recently.
[McAfee] Yeah, grabbing the hotel key to protect Dom
and then disarray all over the ranks,
but he was getting into the Money in the Bank match.
[Cole] Say he wins Money in the Bank, right?
[crowd] Yeet! Yeet!
[Cole] Does he think he'd ever cash in on Damian?
He said he wouldn't.
[McAfee] He said it tonight.
Damian was wondering the same thing.
And Finn Bálor said, "You can trust me."
-Oh! -[Cole] Uso dumped out to the floor.
Mysterio up over the top, roll through--
Bálor with a basement dropkick.
Finn into the cover.
Former Universal Champion looking to advance to the Money in the Bank.
[McAfee] And I think Rey Mysterio has to absolutely despise Finn Bálor.
Part of the reason why his son has become such a dirtbag.
[Cole] Yep. Recruited into The Judgment Day.
Long history between Rey and [indistinct]
[groaning]
[McAfee] He has to put that aside.
An opportunity to get Money in the Bank is on the line.
[Cole] Another man who's had many run-ins over the years with Judgment Day,
Jey Uso, involved in this match-up.
Money in the Bank is so unique.
Briefcase with a contract will hang above the ring.
You climb a ladder to grab it. No pinfalls, no submissions,
-count outs or disqualifications. -[crowd] Yeet! Yeet!
[Cole] Climb a ladder, grab the briefcase,
contract inside guarantees you an opportunity whenever you want it,
at a World Championship shot.
The two men… only two men to ever cash in the contract
in WrestleMania kicked off the show tonight,
Seth Rollins and Damian Priest.
[McAfee] Corpus Christi has been fantastic.
[Cole] Whoa! Mysterio with the senton.
What a cross body. Lateral-- Hook of the leg.
Bálor kicks at two.
Another sell-out crowd tonight for Monday Night Raw, Pat.
Crucifix, taken down by Mysterio. Is it enough? Almost had him.
[McAfee] We get to watch a Hall of Famer go to work here.
[Cole] Uso up over the top rope into the floor.
-[McAfee] Rey Mysterio-- -[Cole] Bálor looking to steal one.
Rey's got a kick at two.
[McAfee] Rey Mysterio was in complete control.
Finn Bálor almost stole one.
[Cole] Blow to the kidneys of Mysterio, and Bálor doing a great job.
Can't allow Mysterio to fly.
[McAfee] Overall, I think everybody'd say
that Finn Bálor has been controlling this entire match.
[Cole] Mysterio up there, though. Rey…
Look at Mysterio. Rolled through. He's got Bálor in position.
And Bálor with a clothesline!
And now Uso.
Step-up enziguri.
[McAfee] What a Pelé.
[Cole] By Bálor. All three men down.
Who will qualify for the Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match?
[Cole] Pat, this is Monday Night Raw.
Jey Uso, Finn Bálor, Rey Mysterio.
Winner's gonna qualify for the Money in the Bank contract Ladder Match
two weeks from Saturday.
And Bálor hung up on the top rope.
This has been a great Triple Threat Match.
First man to gain pinfall or submission will advance.
[McAfee] All three of these men
knew they were gonna be in for a great fight tonight
and they certainly fit the bill.
[Cole] Mysterio climbing the top rope.
And Rey sends Bálor flying with a hurricanrana.
None of these men have ever won Money in the Bank.
Jey Uso-- Spear!
Mysterio taken out, cover by Jey
for the win and to advance,
and Rey's got a kick at two.
[McAfee] This has been absolutely physical.
Big spear from Jey…
as the yeets reign down.
[Cole] Again, first man to gain pinfall or a submission.
No disqualifications, no count outs in a Triple Threat Match.
One of these men is going to Toronto.
And Finn Bálor now shoving Uso.
No way. No way.
[Cole] Out of the ring. And now Rey Mysterio…
619 to the gut.
[McAfee] Right to the ten-pack of Finn Bálor.
[Cole] And Rey now, baseball slide!
[man] Oh, yeah! Come on, Rey! Beat him!
[Cole] Well, it's that unique, unorthodox, offensive Rey Mysterio
that's wowed WWE fans for…
-[McAfee] Decades. -[Cole] Couple of decades.
Mysterio now, the traditional 619!
Jey Uso…
sent into position as well.
We may get another one.
[McAfee] Rey Mysterio is stupendous.
619 to Jey Uso's face!
[Cole] Meanwhile, Bálor with a waist lock.
Rey Mysterio now, top rope.
Sends Uso and Bálor into position.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] 619s for everybody!
[crowd cheering]
[McAfee] This man is a marvel!
[Cole] There is only one Rey Mysterio.
Oh, no!
[McAfee] There's only one dirtbag Dominik Mysterio as well.
[Cole] Rey's son, Dominik, trying to cost his father
a chance to go to Money in the Bank.
And now JD McDonagh!
I mean, McDonagh and Carlito attacking Mysterio.
Remember, Pat, no disqualifications in a Triple Threat Match.
[McAfee] We should have known that this dumb Judgment Day
was gonna get involved.
[Cole] What are you laughing at? Go find your vest, you fool.
["Monster Of All Monsters" playing]
[Cole] You better start running!
Braun Strowman, who's had a massive issue with Judgment Day,
chasing Judgment Day out of the arena.
[McAfee] Look at how…
big that man is!
[Cole] Meanwhile, Bálor back to his feet, looking to steal one over Jey Uso.
Jey with a kick to the face.
-Uso cover, hook of the leg. -[crowd] One, two…
[Cole] Bálor kicks at two.
And now, Jey Uso went for the spear,
ran into a big boot
and then a Sling Blade by Bálor!
Mysterio back to the apron somehow.
Caught by Finn.
Using Rey as a weapon.
Driving Rey neck-first into the turnbuckle
and slamming Rey to the mat.
Bálor up top rope.
Bálor with a Coup de Grace to Rey!
Cover!
Uso Splash to Bálor!
Cover on Bálor
[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Cole] Jey Uso qualifies! -[bell rings]
["Main Event Ish" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Main Event,
Jey Uso!
[Cole] The first man to qualify,
the first of six, for Money in the Bank.
Main Event, Jey Uso.
One step closer to being named Mr. Money in the Bank.
[McAfee] What a match here to qualify
for a career and life-changing evening like Money in the Bank.
That was an incredible Triple Threat Match here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
First off, Dominik Mysterio once again trying to screw his own dad, Rey Mysterio.
[McAfee] Rey was in control and then Judgment Day came out to interrupt.
Rey would put Dom down, thank god. But then guess who?
There's more.
McDumb-uh, Carlito beat him down.
[Cole] And then Braun Strowman,
who's had issues with Judgment Day for weeks,
rushes out to the ringside area
and chases Judgment Day out of Corpus Christi.
And then Bálor thought he was gonna get the win here, Pat,
with the Coup de Grace, but…
look at who's on the other side.
Top rope. Jey Uso with an Uso Splash.
[McAfee] Jey Uso had this planned.
Had to.
Perfectly executed Uso Splash into the one, two, three.
Congrats, Jey. You're going to Money in the Bank.
[Cole] It is time to yeet.
Jey Uso, the first of six.
Qualifying match-ups continue Friday night on SmackDown in Chicago.
And, of course, Monday in Indianapolis.
In a Triple Threat Match
between Strowman, and Gable and "Big" Bronson Reed,
who joins Jey Uso at Money in the Bank.
[McAfee] Will it be a briefcase they're looking for or a yeet case?
As Jey Uso walks out of Corpus Christi
with a spot in the Money in the Bank match.
[crowd chanting] Yeet! Yeet! Yeet!
[Cole] A celebration.
The yeet-abration
continues on Monday Night Raw.
