[intro music playing]
[Triple H] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[Joe Tessitore] We are live in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The sweetest place on earth.
Something so sweet is in the air, ringside.
Not only has a large crowd arrived
at Giant Center, here in Chocolate Town,
but the most talked about new prize with assigned guards.
The white glove treatment.
Crown Jewel's Championship title, handcrafted.
Massive, diamond loaded, we're just five days away now.
Plus, Dirty Dom is here.
Dom says he wants to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.
The GM said, "Earn it."
Dom against a former champion to be revealed.
The mystery opponent is ahead.
And it's Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
His return to action has come with one of the most destructive forces
to deal with. Seth's showdown with "Big" Bronson Reed is this Saturday.
The Visionary will join us live.
Glad you're with us, everybody, Joe Tessitore,
Wade Barrett, here at Hershey,
where last night Trick Williams defended the NXT Championship.
Halloween Havoc was an absolute thriller.
Man, what a night that was.
And I'll tell you, Hershey, PA, there is no finer place in the world
to steal everyone's Halloween candy.
We're both sugared up to the max,
and we are ready for a wild night here on Raw.
Hey, speaking of wild, it was a wild past week for Jey Uso.
It went from nothing but heat to family drama
that has us, edge of our seats.
[commentator] It's the rematch, the Intercontinental Championship.
Bron and Jey.
[crowd booing]
I got tickets.
I'm trying to help you win.
-What are you doing here? -I'm trying to help you win the belt.
[Wade] Solo made it quite clear he's here to help Jey.
Jey told him, "I want nothing to do with you."
-And now, Tonga Loa. -[Joe] Superkick!
Tama Tonga's here and he gets a superkick as well.
-I'm trying to help you. -[Jey] What do you mean?
Listen! I told you… [continues indistinctly]
[Joe] Super spear!
[Wade] Solo Sikoa took Jey Uso out of the way of that spear.
[Joe] And Jey comes flying!
[Wade] Finally, the Tongas getting taken out of here.
[Joe] Jacob Fatu!
[Joe] Famous super spear is landed.
Bron Breakker is the Intercontinental Champion, again.
[Michael Cole] The tag team champions from The Bloodline.
Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, defending against the Motor City Machine Guns.
You're playing with the Sharks now, boys.
Match-up underway for the tag team titles.
Double team. Nobody home.
What are you doing?
Get up!
Wait a minute, Solo Sikoa, being attacked
-by none other than Jimmy Uso. -[Corey Graves laughing]
[Michael] From behind now Solo Sikoa,
and now the beatdown of Jimmy.
-[Corey exclaims] -[Michael] The OTC is here.
Roman and Fatu, Solo and Jimmy, play it out at the Barclays Center.
Superkick!
[Michael exclaims]
Jey Uso!
And now the Motor City Machine Guns, up top.
Here's the cover.
[crowd counting] One, two, three!
-[Michael] They win it. They did it. -[bell rings]
[imperceptible]
[Michael] Payback against the men who cost him the Intercontinental title
on Raw, Monday night.
Jey Uso, back in the fold.
♪ Uso ♪
[crowd shouting] Yeet! Yeet! Yeet!
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[crowd chanting] Jey! Jey! Jey!
[Joe] A week removed from losing his championship.
Yet so beloved and respected and connected in every way to these fans.
[Wade] What a seven days.
What a tumultuous seven days
it has been for the yeet-meister himself.
It's party time right now, but losing that 10 pounds,
that is, the Intercontinental Championship
must have felt like the lowest of lows for Jey Uso.
And at least a smidge…
of revenge for Jey Uso this past Friday
on Raw costing The Bloodline their tag championships.
Get a feeling the threat level ratchets up
by the day between Jey Uso
and The Bloodline.
[Samantha Irvin] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome.
Main Event…
Jey Uso!
[Joe] Do you just get the sense that, like Jimmy
put his arms put his arms around Jey the other night,
collectively, 10,000 fans wrapping their arms
around him here in their own way.
Yeeting, celebrating this man.
[Wade] Man, with or without the gold,
you're absolutely right, Joe.
This place is buzzing.
What a rocking start to Raw here in Hershey, PA.
[Joe] For the past year plus, doing it on his terms.

And I cost them the WWE Tag Team Championship.
[crowd] Yeet!
-Yeet! -[crowd] Yeet!
There's only one uce, who I want to talk to.
And he knows who he is.
["Born a King" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Joe] It's been a long time since that Friday, after WrestleMania,
when Solo took out Jimmy.
Months away and then the thrilling return,
when he came to the aid of Roman Reigns at Bad Blood in Atlanta.
And since then,
pursuing the embrace of his brother,
which he received this past Friday in Brooklyn.
And as we know, there is more to accomplish in mending things fully.

[crowd cheering]
In the middle of this ring.
[crowd] Yeet!
To look you face to face.
[crowd] Yeet!
-Eye to eye. -[crowd] Yeet!
-Thank you. -[crowd] Yeet!
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Thank you, for what you did.
Last Friday on SmackDown.
[crowd] Yeet!
Because uce, we need to be together,
to take down Solo and his Bloodline.
-They're not the ones, me and you-- -Hey, guess what?
We not the ones either.
[crowd gasping]
You know, when the last time I seen you,
That was half a year ago, uce. At WrestleMania, fighting each other.
But guess what, though.
A lot has happened since then.
Guess what, though.
They know us now. They don't get us confused now.
They know you, Jimmy now.
They know I'm Jey now.
-They know you as no yeet, now. -[crowd] Yeet.
They know me as yeet, now. Watch this.
[crowd] Yeet.
[Jey] Ay, ay.
I became Intercontinental Champion by myself.
Just me, uce!
[crowd] Yeet.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
But none of them titles top
being your twin brother.
[crowd cheering]
[Jey] I mean that.
No man, hold up.
We still gotta fix stuff.
But I'm telling you, uce.
This go around, if we do this…
We ain't nobody's "do boys", all right?
We ain't nobody's side piece.
[crowd] Yeet.
-Ain't no yes men. -[crowd] Yeet.
Ay, we grown men.
[crowd] Yeet.
You understand me?
So we do it together.
You be Jimmy, I'll be Jey,
and we be the Uso!
All right?
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Uso! Uso! Uso!
All right,
OTC will be there Friday Night SmackDown, uce.
How about you come through,
and holla at him? Come through and squash this beef?
What you say?
I'll make sure he's there.
Man, he need to hear this from you.
[crowd shouting indistinctly]
I'll be there, uce.
[crowd cheering]
Okay, so we're good.
[Wade] Oh, here we go, Joe.
[Joe] Solo and Jacob, Tama, Tonga,
well, they have arrived.
Jey, saying, "We've still got to fix stuff."
They've got to fix this situation right now.
[Wade] This was looking like a real happy story.
Solo said, go. And now, Jacob Fatu,
enters the fray.
[Joe] Jacob Fatu in that corner with Jimmy.
And now a superkick to Jey.
[Wade] This just was not destined to be a happy story for The Usos tonight.
Things were simply going too well,
and this is payback for costing the Tongas
the Tag Team Championships this past Friday on SmackDown.
[Joe] Motor City Machine Guns were able to take advantage.
After what Jey and Jimmy created.
And now tying up Jimmy,
to watch his twin brother,
who just had accepted the invitation,
to say, we need to go talk to Roman.
And Jacob Fatu, Samoan werewolf,
-doing damage to Jey, in the corner, no! -[Wade] Oh, no.
[Wade] He just got his marching orders from Solo Sikoa,
You mentioned this earlier. This is what happened to Jimmy Uso,
six months ago, and it took him out almost for good.
[Joe] It was the Friday after WrestleMania, just like this.
Jacob Fatu, lining him up.
Oh, and he throws the chair right at his head.
[Wade] Back from the dead is Jey Uso,
just in the nick of time.
[Joe] And Jey gets free with a superkick and one for Jacob.
[Wade] Just bouncing off Jacob Fatu, there.
[Joe] Teaming up, to send him out of the ring.
Solo sent the orders,
and Jey was able to escape harm's way.
[Wade] But now for that big, squashy conversation
between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns cannot come soon enough.
If there's going to be any hope of stopping that Bloodline.
It sounds like it's going to go down.
This Friday on SmackDown. That is darkness.
[Joe] Jimmy said, he will make sure Roman is there.
Jey's ready for the conversation.
["Main Event Ish" playing]
That's what I said excuses after excuse--
No, you listen to me.
We agreed on Jey being here and Jimmy being here.
I didn't agree to the rest of The Bloodline.
It's excuses.
Nick! I need you to control your damn roster.
And I'm gonna call you back.
What can I do for Judgment Day today?
Well Adam, we're still waiting to find out who Daddy Dom's opponent is for tonight.
Yeah, you know, I can take on any former world champion
-I'm just curious. -Dom.
I don't have time for this.
In the main event of Monday Night Raw
you're gonna face a former world champion and somebody you know very well.
Damian Priest.
[crowd cheering]
[Carlito] That's not cool.
Happy Monday.
[Raquel scoffs]
You know what? That's not a problem. I know all of Damian's little tricks.
-I'm gonna take care of him. -Yeah.
Listen, Dom. No offense, mate. But nobody knows Damian more than me.
So you've got to be careful.
There was a reason why we all called him Punishment.
[sighs] Yeah, I know, but why don't you guys believe in me?
You know what? I'm gonna go out there by myself,
and I'm gonna prove that I can become world champion.
-I believe in you, you've got this. -You can do this.
You got this, so good.
Thank you. Thank you. So you guys stay back here tonight.
Whatever you want. Whatever you want, perfect.
-Stay back? -Yeah.
[Joe] So, it's Damian Priest who's the mystery opponent for Dirty Dom.
[Wade] Well, I'll tell you this right now. Adam Pearce is the sickest GM in history.
What a disgrace!
[Joe] This past Friday night we saw Kaiser, you see him there,
he was with Gunther attacking Cody Rhodes.
That frames much of the energy surrounding Saturday's Crown Jewel.
But for now, Kaiser has his own personal course to determine
trying to get himself in contention, and he knows to do so,
a win against Sheamus would go very far.
["Ten Beats of the Bodhran" playing]
[Wade] It's that night of the week Joe.
[Joe] What is that, Wade?
-Pat McAfee, it's Fight Night! -[Joe chuckles] Oh, yes.
[bell rings]
[Samantha] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring from Dublin, Ireland.
Weighing in at 267 pounds.
Sheamus!
[Joe] That banger after banger after banger mentality
that has now produced 252
career, WWE televised wins.
including one impressive one against Ludwig Kaiser back on August 5th.
So here they go again, Wade.
[Wade] Talk about the beef between these two.
They've been tearing strips off one another for the past six months.
Last week, Kaiser told Sheamus he is out to end The Celtic Warrior's career.
Sheamus breaking Kaiser's ribs a couple of months ago,
This is some serious unfinished business.
[Joe] Not wasting any time, are they?
[Wade] Absolutely not.
These two just love brawling.
I'll tell you something else, getting in there with Sheamus,
you have to start at an 11, or you are going to get eaten alive.
This rivalry with Sheamus over the past few months
really has pulled something new out of Ludwig Kaiser.
[Joe] Very Spinal Tap of you.
[Wade] Great movie.
But there is nothing artistic
about what these two are about to do to one another.
[Joe] There's nothing very artistic about some recent efforts of Sheamus,
and as we saw him against Pete Dunne
in a match that was unlike anything we've seen before recently.
That Donnybrook. The white noise from the stacked whiskey barrels.
And that was jaw dropping stuff a few weeks ago, wasn't it?
[Wade] Unbelievable, Sheamus though, talk about him.
Fifteen years at the very top here in WWE.
No sign of slowing down whatsoever.
Multiple time world champion.
And that is the level that Ludwig Kaiser sees himself.
And he is passing the test before our eyes right now, Joe.
[Joe] Kaiser comes with the basement dropkick
as Sheamus was on the apron.
Poor Sheamus, as you mentioned, the titles he has earned.
The three time WWE Champion, one time World Heavyweight Champion.
Right to the ring post.
[Wade] Plus about every other championship in existence.
Aside from, of course, the Intercontinental Championship
that Sheamus will not forget about.
[Joe] Ludwig Kaiser really working now on that left arm and shoulder of Sheamus.
[Wade] This is really impressive from Kaiser.
About three or four minutes into this match-up.
Very rarely does any opponent out-maneuver Sheamus this quickly
and leave The Celtic Warrior lying on the floor in a heap.
[Joe] They were back here in Hershey, Pennsylvania,
as he continues to try to work on that left hand.
But this time Sheamus able to interrupt that action.
They were here in Hershey, Pennsylvania, back on June 3rd,
and Kaiser came up with a win by pinfall against Sheamus.
That was on Monday Night Raw, here in Hershey.
Big chop, by The Celtic Warrior.
[Wade] I'm not convinced Ludwig Kaiser even knows his own name
after those shots to the steel ring post.
Sheamus giving him no room to breathe whatsoever.
What the hell is Sheamus up to here?
Powerbomb attempt on the outside.
-Oh, my. -[Joe] Got him up top.
-Kaiser! Look at this. -[Wade] Guillotine!
[Wade] What a reversal, perhaps the only thing
Ludwig Kaiser could have done there.
[all exclaiming]
[Joe] He blasts him into the steel steps.
It was a beautiful counter by Kaiser.
But then Sheamus gets the best of him.
[Wade] Well, Sheamus might have banged his head in the process,
but that was literally the only pathway
out of the guillotine choke there
from Ludwig Kaiser.
What a mess here at ringside,
both men scrambling back into the ring.
What a contest.
This one is going to continue.
[Joe] Glad you're with us,
Monday Night Raw, coming to you from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Five days away, until the Crown Jewel.
We found out just moments ago.
The mystery opponent for Dom Mysterio is going to be Damian Priest.
In our main event tonight.
This is Ludwig Kaiser against Sheamus.
And Wade, fifteen years ago this week,
Sheamus competed in his first Monday Night Raw, match.
October 26th, 2009.
[Wade] Simply getting better by the week too.
As is Ludwig Kaiser,
who has to be at his tiptop best here tonight.
If he is going to beat The Celtic Warrior.
[Joe] Ludwig Kaiser trying to line it up, instead it's a pump knee.
Come on!
[Wade] Knee cap to the dome.
Ludwig Kaiser, completely rattled on the outside.
Meandering his way back in the ring, which might be the worst place you can go.
Lining him up for 10 Beats of the Bodhran.
[crowd counting] One, two,
three, four, five,
six, seven, eight,
nine, ten!
[Wade] Granite fists, lead boots,
an indefatigable engine.
Do not turn around Kaiser.
[Joe] Sheamus, from up top!
-Hooks the leg for the win. -[crowd] One, two--
[Joe] And a kick out by Kaiser.
[Wade] This is Ludwig Kaiser having to dig as deep as he's ever had to dig before.
Sheamus, the kind of guy who can hurt you, on an Irish whip.
[Joe] And he did it on June third. That's when Kaiser defeated Sheamus.
Right here in Hershey on Raw.
[Wade] Oh God, setting up for some elevated
White Noise here, perhaps.
Kaiser, desperately scrambling his way out, manages it.
[Joe] Able to counter.
Can you get that powerbomb off of it?
Kaiser, now he turns things around.
[Wade] Ludwig Kaiser, so resourceful.
Take one didn't work, let me retool, retry.
and connect with a massive powerbomb.
[Joe] Big moment for Kaiser
to turn things around, hooks the leg.
Kaiser-- And just the two count.
[Wade] Franz Beckenbauer style kick
to the point of the jaw of Sheamus.
Not enough, as the sour faced German
runs through his playbook.
What is it going to take, to put away the big Irishman?
[Joe] You see the damage done to the back of Sheamus.
With the style these two employ.
Although Kaiser who a couple of weeks ago he was talking to our Cathy Kelley,
He said, "You haven't seen anything yet when it comes to my career."
This would be a big moment,
-to put himself in title contention. -[Sheamus] Come on!
[Joe] Sheamus says, bring it. Just the way I like it,
says The Celtic Warrior.
Let's go, toe to toe center of the ring.
I'll meet you there.
[Wade] That look in the eye of Sheamus tells you to start running.
If you don't do it quick enough, you're in trouble.
[Joe] Oh, he brings it again.
Kneecap to the dome and the Brogue.
-The cover, hooks the leg. -[crowd] One, two, three!
[Joe] And Sheamus the victor.
[Samantha] Here is your winner.
Sheamus!
[Wade] What a wild brawl.
Two men at their absolute best slugging it out,
which is rarely a good tactic,
against The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus.
Banger after banger.
They've come as standard for The Celtic Warrior.
But believe me, that man now has his sights set on gold.
And with victory like that one,
it's gonna come sooner or later for Sheamus.
Hey, we mentioned we're just five days away
from the new Crown Jewel Championship.
A position that Rhea Ripley could have been in
if it wasn't for the actions of Liv Morgan
and Raquel Rodriguez, back in the mix.
Rhea's rage, saw her mix it up with that duo again, last week.
Raquel…
I've thought a lot about what you had to say, last week,
and you really try to paint yourself in a pretty little picture
like you didn't deserve the beatings that I've been giving you.
Weren't you the one who once said,
to keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer?
See, the difference between you and I,
is when you betrayed me, it was with malice and ego
where everything I've done to you and Liv has been deserved.
Have I made mistakes in the past?
Yeah, sure, I have.
But right now, it just seems like you, two,
want to be a part of your little cry about it squad.
At the end of the day, I only want one thing,
and that is my Women's World Championship.
And you're gonna have to kill me,
to stop me.
Why'd you let them sneak you like that, man?
[scoffs] Man, you still slow.
What's up, my dog?
-Good? -Hey, can we talk for a minute?
Yeah. What up?
You know, could we talk alone.
Hey, uce. Just give us a minute.
So, what is all that?
Is this just it now?
Jimmy and Jey, The Usos. Is everything cool now?
After everything Jimmy did to you?
I just wanna make sure, are you gonna go back to SmackDown
and talk to Roman Reigns and squash this?
Squash this beef? Everything's fine now?
Look Sami, I know what you're saying about Roman.
I think Solo is worse, uce.
No, no. Hang on a second. Because Solo is not the one
mentally got in your head for years, okay?
He's not the one that made you jump through hoops
every single week to prove your worth to your own family.
Sami, it sounds like you're on Solo's side now.
No, that's what I'm trying to say.
I'm not on anybody's side here, okay?
I'm on your side.
This isn't a lesser of two evils.
You don't have to choose one or the other.
You could just, not get involved.
Because this is not-- No, it's not your fight anymore, Jey.
This is not your fight anymore.
You said it yourself, you're your own man now.
You stepped out on your own.
I don't. I just don't understand why you'd go back.
-I don't. I just don't understand-- -You wouldn't understand.
Because you're not family, uce.
[Gunther] Cody Rhodes…
The quarterback of WWE.
The Golden Boy of this generation.
The selfless servant of everybody else.
Cody Rhodes, the gutless champion.
This is a champion versus champion match,
for a newly established Crown Jewel championship.
And once again, you drag the people closest to you
into your business.
This time it's none other than your mentor,
your good friend, Randy Orton.
A person whose career you envy so much.
This Friday on SmackDown,
It's you and Randy Orton
against myself and Ludwig Kaiser.
So let me give you one advice, on Friday,
before you both walk out to the ring,
pull Randy aside and ask him.
How does it feel to get choked out by the Ring General?
Because very soon, Cody, the same is going to happen to you.
And you're going to wake up and finally come to the realization
that you are just a secondary champion to me.
[Joe] That's just the appetizer to what we get on Saturday
with the men's Crown Jewel Championship,
which will be the first singles match between Cody and Gunther.
At a special start time of 1:00 PM Eastern.
[bell rings]
[Samantha] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, being accompanied by Joaquin Wilde,
and Cruz Del Toro.
Representing LWO,
from Queens, New York,
Zelina Vega!
[Joe] Good opportunity for Zelina to get back to advancing herself
in singles competition, Wade.
[Wade] Indeed, especially after last week.
So let's take you back to last Monday on Raw.
Which was the Number One Contender's tournament, American Made
versus Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee of the LWO.
Chad Gable getting involved to try and help his proteges.
The Creed brothers. Now, Zelina Vega of the LWO
didn't take kindly.
A brawl with Ivy Nile ensued on the outside,
which allowed the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, to take control.
One tag later to the spectacular Dragon Lee.
And it was victory for the LWO.
Who advanced in the Number One Contender's tournament.
The fallout from this we are now about to witness in ring.
["American Made" playing]
[Samantha] And her opponent,
being accompanied by Brutus and Julius Creed.
representing American Made
from Knoxville, Tennessee,
Ivy Nile!
[Joe] Ivy realigned herself with the Creed brothers
and joined Chad Gable's American Made
That was on Monday Night Raw, all the way back on August 12th,
and seemingly it has been a very good fit for Ivy,
to be under the guidance of Chad Gable and be part of this group,
with American Made.
The dynamic, powerful, compact
and explosive Ivy Nile.
[Wade] It's definitely Halloween season.
The referee here dressed up as Bela Lugosi, apparently.
But you're right about Ivy Nile.
A five foot two package,
of all out aggression.
Two diminutive females in the ring right now
who only have one gear that is 100 miles an hour
-straight forward. -[bell rings]
[Joe] Small packages but different skillsets
and physicality, and that's going to really bother Ivy.
I was visiting with her earlier today.
And there you see the power right away, driving her into the turnbuckle, Wade.
She said, "So Vega hits Chad with a shoe and that set me off all week long
and thought about the fact that she could step to us,
and she thought all she could do is throw a shoe that's weak.
That's pathetic." That was Ivy Nile earlier today.
[Wade] Well, I think Zelina Vega prefers the term chancla to shoe.
But you're absolutely right.
It is a form of massive disrespect.
And I think American Made are sick and tired of being disrespected,
by too many people.
Meteora on the outside from Zelina Vega.
Fears absolutely nothing.
Things looking real good for the LWO right now.
[Joe] Back on Monday Night Raw in Hershey, PA.
Joe and Wade with you at ringside.
Just before that commercial break,
Zelina Vega was in control with that meteora,
she landed, as Ivy Nile was out on the floor, Wade.
but it's been evenly contested since then.
[Wade] No doubt about that.
We talked about the all-out aggression of Ivy Nile earlier.
She's just going to keep on coming forward,
unless you put her down for good.
Vega thus far not being able to do that.
What a nice reversal there from Zelina Vega.
[Del Toro] Come on!
[Joe] Vega looking to go up top.
Moonsault!
[Wade] Didn't quite connect with everything. Maybe enough though.
[Joe] Let's see. Able to kick out was Ivy Nile.
The last time we saw Zelina,
Vega in heated action, most recently she was part of that madness,
that 10-woman tag match.
She helped to victory.
She was teaming with Carter and Chance Lyra and Nattie.
[Wade] The Creed brothers desperately on the outside trying to wake up Ivy Nile.
It seems to have worked.
[Joe] Bridging attempt and the kick out.
[Wade] Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro on the outside.
Try and do the exact same for their woman,
the first ever female member of the LWO.
Zelina Vega, who is struggling to cling on here.
But is back with a vengeance.
[Joe] A big knee from Zelina,
-[Nile] No! -[Wade] Contorting the entire body
of the pit bull Ivy Nile.
who has no idea where she's at.
The Creeds are aware of it… Brutus Creed now distracting the referee.
[Joe] What's he doing on the apron?
[Wade] Vega is going for Code Red.
But Julius Creed on the outside pulled Ivy Nile out of danger.
And now the brawl is on,
between the Creeds and the LWO.
[Joe] Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro hooking up with Julius
and Brutus out on the floor.
[crowd gasping]
[Wade] Sky high there from Brutus Creed.
Just a package of muscle.
[Joe] Meanwhile, Zelina Vega, opportunity missed.
Instead, it's the pit bull.
Swinging uranage!
-Hooks the leg. -[referee] One, two, three!
-[Joe] And the win for Ivy Nile. -[bell rings]
[Samantha] Here is your winner.
Ivy Nile!
[Wade] Well, a new wrinkle in the playbook of the pit bull, Ivy Nile.
That swinging uranage grabbed victory.
Clearly learning from master Chad Gable,
As the weeks go by.
Tremendous victory tonight for American Made.
How'd the talk with Sami go, uce?
I told him he wasn't family.
Well, he's not.
Hey, man, when you left, he stepped up.
Man, you wouldn't understand either.
-Let me talk to him. -No, man.
Something bad's gonna happen if you cross paths so just chill.
I'm just gonna talk.
You got my word, uce.
[Joe] The constant plot twists of Jimmy and Jey.
And the crowd here in Hershey is ready to roar.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins joins us live, next.
-["Visionary" playing] -♪ Burn it down! ♪
[Joe] For a guy who has done everything there is to do.
Has taken on every great challenge opposite him.
This is something different for Seth Rollins.
♪ Burn it down! ♪
[Samantha] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
[Joe] Seth "Freakin" Rollins dealing with Bronson Reed's size,
an issue for anyone. But it's the fact,
that he's been a menacing monster
since that early August day, when he put Seth out of action.
Add in the injury concerns for Seth Rollins all year long,
and it's incredible to think,
what he has gotten himself into and is willing to take it head on.
Just the way he likes it.
♪ Burn it down! ♪
[Joe] WWE Crown Jewel
Seth "Freakin" Rollins, "Big" Bronson Reed it will be streaming live.
[Wade] They've wrecked arenas.
They've wrecked each other's bodies.
Now they get to do it officially, at Crown Jewel.
[Joe] Five days away, Riyadh season.
Hershey!
-[grunts] -[crowd cheering]
Welcome, to Monday Night Rollins.
[crowd cheering]
I am a Visionary.
I am a Revolutionary.
I am Seth…
[crowd] "Freakin" Rollins!
[exclaims] And Hershey, Hershey, Hershey, Hershey…
I am on the hunt for a monster.
Make no mistake about it.
Bronson Reed is a monster.
But so am I.
[crowd cheering]
That's a side of me.
That's a side of me that I put to bed a long time ago.
I forgot about that side of me.
But Bronson Reed,
he's woken something up in my soul.
Bronson Reed has reminded me what I'm capable of.
And I got to be honest with you, Hershey.
I kind of like it.
[crowd cheering]
I kind of like it.
And this Saturday, Crown Jewel.
-[Bronson] Seth! -Bronson--
Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Look, I promised Adam Pearce
that we would not have a repeat of last week.
That I would not go into that arena and cause chaos.
But Seth, if you want to "hunt a monster"
then I'm right here in the parking lot.
[crowd cheering]
[Joe] Seth's thinking about it, Wade.
[Wade] I smell a trap.
-[Wade] I don't think this wise. -Don't move, big man.
[Joe] Here he comes.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins takes the invitation.
[Wade] You don't hunt monsters.
They hunt you, Seth Rollins.
[Joe] Remember what happened out in the parking lot?
A few months ago, with Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed.
[Seth laughing]
[Wade] This is not the wheelhouse of Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[audience vocalizing to "Visionary"]
Seth listen to me, you don't need it. I don't need it.
You already have the match, dammit.
-You already have the match. -You think I care?
[Joe] This is what Pearce was trying to avoid.
[Wade] Right, here we go out.
[Joe] Out the parking lot.
Right near our operations and production trucks,
and thankfully security is going to break them up.
-Right into the pipe rack. -[Wade] No way.
[Wade] You've been around long enough to know that wasn't going to happen.
[Joe] Reed with Rollins up on the crates now.
Big boot to the head.
[Wade] Already, Seth Rollins scrambling--
[Joe] The tractor trailer door to his face, Wade.
[Wade] Bouncing off that massive cranium of Bronson Reed.
[Joe] Oh, a mega stomp!
He just made him a hood ornament!
Bronson Reed just went hood ornament off the stomp.
-I said, the world… -It's over, come on.
…has forgotten what I'm capable of.
That's a reminder. That's a reminder.
That's just a little taste,
-because-- -[Bronson grunting]
[Joe] He is rising up after the stomp and is fighting off security?
[Wade] What the hell did they build Bronson Reed out of?
He ain't human!
[Joe] This is outrageous.
He took the stomp right on the car hood
and now a crate to the dome.
As they are brawling out in the parking lot.
[Wade] Bronson Reed, somehow still on his feet
and still fighting back. Wake up, Seth!
[Joe] Garbage can thrown right at Seth.
And now they're in the technical truck.
The production and operations truck out there
as part of our support staff, fighting in the truck.
[Wade] Yeah, twisted steel everywhere you look.
And Bronson Reed wants to use all of it to his advantage.
[Joe] Oh, my!
Death Valley driver through the tables outside.
Get him medical!
[man] We need medical personnel now.
-[indistinct conversation] -[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Adam Pearce] Get Bronson out of there.
What the hell were you thinking?
[Joe] How is Bronson Reed rising from that?
As they're calling for medical attention for both men.
Somehow Reed emerges from the pile.
[Wade] Bronson Reed is a damn monster.
-[Joe] Seth does not look good at all. -[Seth coughing]
…Seth and Big Bronson, Wade.
-You already have the match, dammit! -You think I care?
[Wade] Seth Rollins was in ring talking his talk.
Bronson Reed, who was not supposed to be here,
bated Seth "Freakin" Rollins out to the parking lot,
and these two used every implement available to them.
To take one another out.
It looked like Seth "Freakin" Rollins
put the monster down for good, with that stomp.
That's just a little taste.
-Because-- -[Wade] Don't speak too soon,
when you're dealing with Bronson Reed,
the man somehow rose up from the dead.
Eventually, taking down Seth Rollins
with the ultimate Death Valley driver.
Oh, man. What an experience it was last week.
When R-Truth attacked The Miz,
during The New Day versus AOP match,
In the number-one contender's tournament.
Distraction enough to assist The New Day in scoring victory.
Final Testament,
were out for revenge
post-match, cue…
The mysterious Wyatt Sicks,
who brawled all over the arena
until a certain lister,
Uncle Howdy arrived.
Trying to take out Miz.
But Paul Ellering, put his body on the line.
Miz getting away, completely unscathed.
We need to go our separate way. This is not working out.
Good luck with Wyatts.
One of my guys just took a bullet for you.
The only way out of this is through the Wyatts.
Or through us.
So I think we should have a conversation.
What's up, my dogs?
Yes! Big right.
Doggie.
Hey. I gotta say, y'all look a lot much better.
Since y'all got rid of that sure ugly guy to be screaming at y'all all the time.
Talking about Master Gable?
Oh, she can't say it on TV.
Truth.
Hear me out.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
I don't know what happened Final Testament got in my head.
I wasn't thinking clearly, but I've seen the error in my ways.
This isn't about me. This is about us.
Awesome Truth, tag team champions, WrestleMania.
Family, and I need family more than ever.
-What are you saying? -Truth.
Don't listen to him.
Yeah, don't listen to a former champion.
Listen to Snow White and the two dorks.
-Let me tell you-- -Whoa!
He got a point. It's between me and him.
Much obliged.
Y'all give me a moment with Miz.
Come on, boys.
I knew you'd understand.
Awesome Truth is back. Dawg I'm glad you found me.
I got something I wanna give you, too.
[Joe exclaims]
Good luck with the Wyatts.
Y'all gonna die.
[laughs]
What's up, Butch?
You seen Pete?
[crowd laughs]
[Joe] Just what Pete Dunne wants to hear.
Hey, it is time to see who will face The Judgment Day
for the tag titles.
Number 1 Contender's Tournament finals.
[Samantha] The following Triple Threat Match is the final
in the World Tag-Team Championship Number One Contender's Tournament.
Introducing first, representing LWO.
The team of, Dragon Lee
and WWE Hall of Famer,
Rey Mysterio!
[Joe] Of course, they have a history with Judgment Day
and they would love the chance to make history
against The Judgment Day.
Been a longtime mentor of Dragon Lee,
now a chance to move forward as a proud pairing.
[Wade] The finals of this mini tournament
after defeating American Made Creed Brothers
last week. One step away
from that big championship opportunity.
Victory here tonight will get them everything they're looking for.
["War" playing]
[Wade] This ominous sound means one thing.
Raw is War!
[Samantha] Introducing next, the team of Erik and Ivar.
The War Raiders!
[Joe] Wade, the War Raiders, Erik and Ivar
from out of action for a significant amount of time.
Now, instant career momentum.
And a golden opportunity tonight.
To be right back in the title mix with a win here,
they will fight for the championship.
[Wade] The Alpha Academy a couple of weeks ago,
in Round one to get here. What a triumphant
and an utterly devastating return to Raw it was.
This team, retooled and reinvigorated.
[Joe] Closing in on their 10-year anniversary is The New Day.
But it has been a three plus year drought for championship glory
that they have been chasing, and it's created urgency.
[Samantha] And the team of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston,
The New Day!
[Joe] Xavier Woods has gotten his chance
as he says, to quarterback their plans.
But can he prove that under his direction, things work?
[Wade] Quarterback? New Day ends up beating AOP
in the first round of this tournament,
albeit with a little R-Truth distraction.
But things are going incredibly well for The New Day,
since Xavier Woods took the reins
despite some…
problematic few weeks between this duo.
Can they put all that to one side for good
and get themselves an opportunity
at Tag Championship gold, here tonight?
[Joe] To see who will face Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh.
Remember, general manager Adam Pearce
was very direct in telling Finn and The New Day.
Saying, I want to see the titles defended.
So here we go. The ninth Triple Threat tag team match
to take place in this calendar year.
And this comes with a title shot on the line.
[Wade] All three teams are going to have one member
of their duo legal at all times.
You can only tag your own partner
per the rules of this kind of match-up.
[Joe] Dragon Lee and Kofi were teaming up for a moment
and now finding themselves locked up.
[Wade] One of the great movers
of the big powerhouse that is Ivar.
[Joe] Isn't it amazing at 6'2", 350 pounds,
what he's able to do?
[Wade] We're talking about great movers, Ivar absolutely fits that bill.
Although he totally should not.
Xavier Woods smart to break up that pinfall.
Even though it was not against his own partner.
Now, Erik in there for a piece of the action.
[Joe] War Raiders teaming up and the big knee
comes in.
[Wade] This is just a stripped down version of the War Raiders,
we've come to know over the past few years.
This is the version,
that took the War Raiders of the global domination.
in Japan, in Europe, in Mexico,
and very soon, perhaps right here on Raw.
[Joe] Erik and Ivar, creating a human missile
out of Dragon Lee.
And as The New Day down on the floor,
just chucking Dragon along.
Triple Threat here in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The Number 1 Contender's finals
for the World Tag Team Championship opportunity.
Rey Mysterio in there, with Erik from the War Raiders
and Xavier Woods, who has been "quarterbacking" the plans
in recent weeks for The New Day.
as they try to get back the gold
that they held over three and a half years ago.
Two of these teams, of course, have been the World Tag Team Champions,
Mysterio and Lee, have not.
[Wade] There does seem to have been, little the other two teams could have done
so far to hurt the War Raiders.
They've been completely dominant.
It would improve those two teams
to maybe team up and try and take the big duo down.
But Woods has certainly been focused
a lot on Rey Mysterio,
who's had several issues with Mysterio over recent weeks.
Felt disrespected by him.
Beat him by ripping off his mask at one point,
albeit perhaps inadvertently.
But once again, now it is just total domination.
From these monsters that are the War Raiders.
[Joe] Many would question the word inadvertently there
for what happened back on September 30th,
when Xavier Woods defeated Rey Mysterio,
[Wade] Which is which is exactly the kind of mindset
that is annoying Xavier Woods.
He claimed he was innocent of doing anything underhand.
[Joe] The combination from the War Raiders. A hook to the leg.
[Wade] I mean, that move alone should be illegal.
How on earth the midsection of Xavier Woods
is still able to kick out after that crushing landing
from the massive Ivar,
I will never know.
[Joe] Physics doesn't work out well when 350 pounds is being slammed on you.
But to your point, Xavier Woods went on social media
this past weekend expressed the frustration
of people's reaction to what happened in that match
against Rey Mysterio saying, "Why am I the bad guy?"
I was just doing what was in front of me.
[Wade] Rey Mysterio has been here long enough.
He should know how to tie on a mask properly at this point
I'm personally holding him responsible.
And not Xavier Woods, but it might be academic now.
[Joe] How about Rey able to counter?
[Wade] Well, just when the War Raiders were going in for the kill,
that is why, Rey Mysterio,
is the Hall of Famer
and possibly the most dangerous man in this match-up.
He's beaten down, he needs a tag to refresh.
Dragon Lee on the outside, and he might be about to get it, Joe.
[Joe] Skill and experience coming through
over size at that moment.
But all of a sudden, Xavier Woods takes control.
[Wade] That is QBing, from Xavier Woods.
And even Kofi Kingston, the former QB of the team
has to appreciate that.
[Joe] And you can see
exactly what we were just talking about moments ago.
Kofi saying, tag me, let's take advantage of momentum--
[Wade] You don't tell the quarterback what to do.
You let the quarterback do what the quarterback does.
[Joe] Team first, though.
In these circumstances.
-Number One Contender's Tournament Final. -[Wade] Win first, Joe.
[Wade] And that distraction now has caused
Xavier Woods to be on the back foot,
but once again getting his way out of there.
And finally, Kingston gets what he wanted.
[Joe] And here comes Kofi.
Trying to get back to a title shot opportunity is The New Day.
[Wade] Kofi Kingston has to be as fresh as they come.
As far as this match-up's concerned.
Using both opponents against one another.
This is just classic Kingston.
[Joe] A double boom drop?
Kofi lands it.
[Wade] Whatever gets the job done, Joe.
There's a potential opportunity at gold
up for grabs here for The New Day.
[Joe] we will see who will be up against JD and Finn.
Winner advances to that championship match.
Looking for Trouble in Paradise, coming up short.
[Wade] SLS from Kingston.
Dragon Lee in there for the save.
Cleared out for good measure.
And this is Kofi Kingston, just fighting on instinct
and New Day, doing what they do best.
[Joe] And Woods comes through the ropes with the dropkick.
[Wade] New Day firing on all cylinders.
This is what has taken them to 10-plus championship reigns in the past.
[Joe] Great offensive surge,
from Kofi Kingston, going up top.
Looking to take them all out.
[Wade] Things looking good for The New Day. Can they capitalize?
[Kofi] Let's go.
[Joe] The return of the War Raiders has changed the dynamic
of the tag division.
Remember, a couple of weeks ago, they defeated Alpha Academy.
They were the first to earn a spot here.
In the finals of this Number 1 Contender's Tournament
to see who goes up against Judgment Day.
The New Day, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.
Everybody's trying to get a piece of it.
[Wade] Rey Mysterio has taken more abuse than anybody in this match-up.
But conversely, that means the freshest man
is the man on the outside who just got the tag.
The spectacular Dragon Lee.
[Joe] Here is the young Dragon Lee, who told us earlier today
he is so excited living his dream to be here with Rey
and a chance to fight for the titles together.
[Wade] Of course, that mentorship from Rey Mysterio
that is priceless to Dragon Lee,
the man that Rey Mysterio says is the future of Lucha Libre.
Well, the future might be now.
[Joe] He's looking for his patented double stomp, and he gets it.
[Wade] But of course, Kofi Kingston ripe for the picking.
Now, however, War Raiders have very different ideas.
Such is the nature of a Triple Threat match-up.
[Joe] Big boot to Xavier Woods, and delivers on Ivar as well.
[Wade] Nothing's slowing down Dragon Lee at this point.
He smells opportunity at the gold.
You just have to move fast in this kind of match.
[Joe] You can see the urgency, hooks the leg.
And in comes Erik.
[Wade] There's breath still in the lungs of these guys.
There is going to be urgency in the latter stages of this match-up.
Things breaking down before our eyes.
[Joe] A week ago, it was Rey and Dragon Lee
coming up with a victory against American Made.
[Wade] Just the pervading thought I've had throughout this match-up,
is how do you stop the War Raiders?
[Joe] What's the answer, Wade?
[Wade] Just capable of taking so much more abuse
than anybody else.
And this reinvigorated version of this tag team
that was formally on top in this division
with the gold, looks better than ever.
And it may take double teaming like this, Joe, to answer your question.
That might be the only pathway to victory for The New Day.
And the LWO.
[Joe] Big Erik had Dragon Lee lined up.
And then all of a sudden Kofi Kingston came into the mix.
And now Dragon Lee from up top.
Does he have enough power to get it done?
[Wade] It's a big, big ask against people the size of the War Raiders.
[Joe] Rey Mysterio now up on the apron.
He's climbing up there as well.
[Wade] You know, the playbook of Rey Mysterio
is as deep as anyone's.
Maybe a powerbomb attempt here.
Hurricanrana off the top.
[Joe] Into the powerbomb, cover.
And Xavier Woods saves his partner, Kofi Kingston.
[Wade] Once again, exemplary performance from Xavier Woods,
whose put this team on his own shoulders
after this epic beatdown in the ring.
It looked like it was game over.
Dragon Lee had victory within his grasp.
[Joe] Excellent synchronized work by LWO.
Almost advanced themselves to the championship match.
[Wade] Well, that is key in the tag team world.
That chemistry, that synchronization.
You have to be able to pull it off in the crucial moments.
And the same can be said for Xavier Woods
and Kofi Kingston of The New Day.
They've done it time and time again.
[Joe] Xavier Woods, who earlier this month
had an Intercontinental Championship match.
Look at the athleticism for the big guy.
But coming through West Coast pop was Rey.
[Wade] And the pins are dropping now.
Who is going to be the last man to fall?
-[Joe] What a back breaker. -[Wade] Dragon Lee.
[Joe] And he's looking for Xavier to go up top.
[Wade] Going in for daylight.
-They put countless teams-- -[Joe] What is he doing?
[Wade] Woods had the opportunity to win the match with daylight.
[Joe] And then he sees Rey Mysterio and he goes after him?
[Wade] You have to cut Rey off at the pass.
To be fair to Xavier Woods, I personally don't blame him.
[Joe] Kofi had the back breaker, had his man compromised,
and now he's lined up for a 619.
Over the top goes Dragon Lee.
[Wade] Just an epic dive from Dragon, wait--
[Joe] Chad Gable from out of nowhere!
And an ankle lock on the Hall of Famer.
What is going on on the floor?
[Wade] Well, Chad Gable, his American Made tag team
were beaten last week, by the LWO.
-Wait a second-- -[Joe] And now,
The War Raiders.
Springboard clothesline, German suplex.
-Cover and the win. -[bell rings]
LWO was in prime position until--
[Samantha] Here are your winners.
Erik and Ivar,
The War Raiders!
[Wade] While these primed fighting machines
with medieval mindsets.
The War Raiders just grabbed themselves
an opportunity at the gold.
This is where New Day were going in for the kill,
with daylight, Xavier Woods distracted,
perhaps by the fact that Rey Mysterio was there.
This is where Chad Gable gave a massive assist
to the eventual winners.
Attacking Rey Mysterio.
Trapping him in that ankle lock. But here we go.
The extreme athleticism of The War Raiders.
Springboard clothesline into a German suplex.
The War Raiders are one match away
from being back at the very top,
of the tag team scene here,
at Raw, they've earned an opportunity
at Finn Bálor
and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day.
The chance to grab gold just weeks after their return here to Raw.
[Joe] It was great action there.
We had incredible circumstances
that took place earlier tonight on Monday Night Raw.
When we saw, Seth "Freakin" Rollins go out into the parking lot.
And brawl with "Big" Bronson Reed.
Bronson Reed suffered a stomp to the hood of a car.
But then what came after that
was Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed
fighting inside a tractor trailer.
And now we have a medical update.
Because Bronson Reed was able to land the Death Valley driver
out of the tractor trailer, crashing Seth Rollins
through tables that were outside on the concrete
and the asphalt in the parking lot.
And our medical staff for WWE has come in with an evaluation of Seth.
He was complaining about back pain.
What we can tell you right now
is that he has been sent to a local medical center
here in Hershey, Pennsylvania,
he's undergoing evaluation and testing
at the emergency room, and we're going to try to keep you updated
as to the status of Seth Rollins.
Once the results are back,
we'll give you a further update regarding his condition.
Keeping in mind that we are only five days away,
from Seth Rollins, and Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel.
…top star in this company, the first ever two time Grand Slam champion ever.
-Where's my security? -[chuckles] Security.
I have R-Truth sucker punch me, the Wyatt Sicks
and the Final Testament stalking me.
What's so funny? Why are you laughing?
Well…
-Hey, what's up guys? -Hey.
Not much man, so, what's the plan?
The plan, yeah…
If, we see or hear, the Wyatt Sicks
We all run.
I knew this is gonna happen. So I came up with a plan.
Don't worry about that one.
My plan is you're going to help us find Bo Dallas tonight.
-And when you find him-- -I don't--
Hey!
When you find him, you're going to ask
why he's getting involved with my business.
Or…
I'm going to break your legs.
Ready? Break.
[crowd chanting] Break his legs! Break his legs! Break his legs!
[Joe] Not an easy spot to be in for The Miz.
Remember, Dom Mysterio said,
I want to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Adam Pearce said,
Great, it'll be a mystery opponent who's a former champion.
Well, here he is.
[Wade] It's about the worst possible opponent
Adam Pearce could have come up with
for Dirty Dom Mysterio.
Who, apparently no one believes in.
[bell rings]
[Samantha] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from New York City.
Weighing in at 249 pounds,
Damian Priest!
[Joe] Remember Damian Priest himself told The Ring General Gunther,
the World Heavyweight Champion, to be ready
for when he gets back from Saudi Arabia.
But now Damian Priest gets one of the things he enjoys the most.
Getting his hands on his former Judgment Day brethren.
A month ago, he beat Dom down.
[Wade] I believe in Dirty Dom, Mysterio.
However, the closer the massive Damian Priest
gets towards me,
the more my belief in Dirty Dom Mysterio starts to dissipate.
[Joe] Damian Priest and Dirty Dom.
When we come back,
to Monday Night Raw.
Uce, you seen Sami?
-Yo, talked to Sami yet? -Ssh!
[Joe] Oh.
I told you, uce. Family is all we got.
Me and you and Roman gotta do this.
Yeet.
[Joe] Sami Zayn in the parking lot, speaking to Solo Sikoa.
Damian Priest.
I told you a month ago he defeated Dirty Dom.
Had to overcome major interference from Judgment Day.
Landed a monstrous clothesline, South of Heaven.
And now Dom gets the opportunity he wanted, Wade.
[Wade] There he is, the man the French are calling
the male Mona Lisa.
The walking work of art himself.
[Samantha] And his opponent.
Representing The Judgment Day.
From San Diego, California,
weighing in at 200 pounds.
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio.
[Joe] Where are you sourcing "The male Mona Lisa"?
[Wade] Don't you worry about it. I can speak French.
but we need to focus on business,
because this is a massive opportunity, Joe
for Dirty Dom Mysterio.
You know what they say about the best lovers.
They match their partner.
Well, Dirty Dom's partner is a world champion.
This match and a victory here tonight
against the opposing Priest, gets Dirty Dom
one step closer to his dream
that apparently nobody believes he can make reality.
And that is a opportunity, at the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Joe] I'm not sure that the lover analogy
is applicable when it comes to facing a man,
who is physically superior,
more accomplished,
and has that look in his eye.
[Wade] Well, I'll tell you, that this is a proven match-up
for Dirty Dom.
Are you really at the level you claim to be?
-[Joe] He's not wasting time. -[Wade] Against a man you know better,
than anyone.
You know his strength, and his weakness.
But then again, so does Damian Priest.
With regards to your own skill set.
[Joe] Wade, I'll ask you this, he said earlier tonight
when he found out, as he just gets rag dolled
into the corner and a big right hand
and a series of them from Damian Priest.
He said, I know all Damian's tricks,
but how far can that really go?
What an uppercut from Priest.
[Wade] Knowing the tricks is one thing. Knowing how to counteract
those tricks is something very, very different.
Damian Priest massive wingspan, massive amount of power,
and a massive amount of unbridled the rage
that is launched all over Dirty Dom
Run, run. Run.
[Joe] It was recent when he had Bad Blood, earlier this month
when Damian Priest was able to defeat Finn Bálor.
Finn Bálor, who very much wants
to be in the mix for what Damian Priest is gunning for.
Adam Pearce has told him, to concentrate on the tag titles,
as have many of The Judgment Day partners.
Now we know how those tag titles will develop.
The championship match is set with the War Raiders.
[Wade] I'll tell you everybody in the locker room,
wants an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Earning it though is a lot more difficult.
And the reality, when you're in a match-up like this,
it's make or break.
Your dreams could come crashing down.
Quite quickly, just like the carcass of Dirty Dom Mysterio
on the outside of the ring.
[Joe] He gets sent to the floor quickly.
-[Wade] Don't come here. -[Joe] Right on top of us.
[Wade] Priest is massive.
[Joe] Whip him into the barrier, flying through the air into that barrier.
Is Dirty Dom Mysterio.
[Wade] Smoldering Damian Priest hasn't broken sweat.
Isn't breathing heavy.
It has just been too easy for the big Puerto Rican, thus far.
[Joe] Up on his shoulder like it's nothing.
Dominik.
Maybe will turn things around and send Damian into that post.
[Wade] This is much better
-From Dirty-- -[Joe] Flying through the ropes.
[Wade] And he finally buys himself an opportunity.
Can Dirty Dom, get himself a Number 1 Contender's match-up
with victory tonight?
[Joe] The recent former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest.
He had that championship for 118 days this year.
Against the guy who used to be his Judgment Day brethren.
Dirty Dom Mysterio said, I want to go after that title.
This is the task that's in front of him.
To try to earn himself a position to contend.
[Wade] Latino cheat at his best,
with the three amigos.
Denied, by the Punisher,
Damian Priest.
Dirty Dom, getting a little bit too cocky there
did not finish the job in time,
and that has bought a window of opportunity
for the worst nightmare,
of Dirty Dom, to get some life back in those lungs.
Look this as the frame of Dirty Dom
comes crashing down,
as indeed may have his hopes
of winning this match-up and becoming Number 1.
Earning himself an opportunity to become Number 1 contender
for the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Joe] Priest, now taking complete control,
against Dominik Mysterio.
Damian Priest has a habit of doing exactly that
against every single opponent
he gets in the ring with.
[Joe] Hooks the leg.
[Wade] Hence why, this is such a massive mountain
for Dirty Dom to climb.
Obstacle put in his path by general manager
Adam Pearce, who clearly had zero faith
in Dirty Dom pulling this off.
[Joe] Opportunity to stay in title contention.
You see tonight's headlines right there.
Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, the brawl in the parking lot.
Remember the medical evaluation taking place right now on Seth Rollins,
the local emergency room, as they're looking at his lower back.
After what happened, earlier tonight on Monday Night Raw.
We're just five days away until Crown Jewel,
When "Big" Bronson Reed and Seth "Freakin" Rollins
are scheduled to go after it, in Saudi Arabia.
[Wade] Damian Priest,
you're not supposed to be enjoying matches
this deep into them.
But what fun this man is having
as he goes in for the kill.
We've seen this a million times from Priest.
Lining up that South of Heaven.
[Joe] Trying to lock it in, but Dirty Dom saw it coming
and escapes.
[Wade] Great instincts from Dirty Dom.
It was game over and he walked into that.
Smelt danger coming and got out of Dodge in a hurry.
But there simply may be no respite
from Damian Priest.
[Joe] Right over our announce table.
He came charging in.
[Wade] I've never seen you move so fast Joe Tess.
And I do not blame you.
[Joe] He just blasted Dirty Dom.
[Wade] And straight back on the offense.
-Now, wait a second. -[Joe] What's going on here?
JD McDonagh and Carlito.
[Wade] This is smart from the Judgment Day,
Liv Morgan is taking the referee's attention
alongside Raquel.
[Joe] Dirty Dom said, I want to do it on my own.
Hey, JD!
Look who's back.
Damian Priest immediately fighting his way out.
He's picking up a chair.
[Wade] Jaw-breaking elbows, and Damian Priest
has completely lost it now.
This is a rage that consumes the soul of Damian Priest.
[Joe] And he just blasted JD
with a chair and again.
[Wade] Completely wiping out,
almost the entirety of The Judgment Day,
steel chair in hand.
[Joe] The ref is warning him.
He's got that chair in his hands in the middle of this match,
as Carlito takes it right to the gut.
He's not going to get disqualified
beating up Carlito and JD McDonagh
with that chair.
I promise you, if he hits Dom Mysterio,
it would be a very different story.
[Joe] Well, there is Dom.
-He rolls him up. -[referee] One, two, three.
[Joe] Whoa, a shocking upset.
An absolute shocker.
A roll up win by Dirty Dom.
Damian's attention was elsewhere.
The ring announcer didn't even get a chance
to make it official, but it is official.
Dirty Dom somehow won the match-up.
And that has just enraged Damian Priest.
Who is now laying waste
[Joe] Razor's edge. He may have won,
with the roll-up, but he is getting beaten down.
as was everybody ringside.
[Samantha] Ladies and gentlemen, your winner.
Dirty Dominik Mysterio.
[Joe] Raquel and Liv in the background
as Damian Priest cannot believe it.
[Wade] Well, it was a genius move by The Judgment Day,
playing on the weaknesses of Damian Priest.
That rage that we saw at SummerSlam.
That's what cost him the World Heavyweight Championship.
Dom got what he wanted, which was a victory.
-At what cost? -[Joe] He doesn't want this.
He does not want this.
Being brutalized by the steel chair.
As was JD, as was Carlito.
Damian Priest taking out his frustrations.
He is just in complete disbelief.
Incredulous to the fact,
that Dirty Dom got the roll up pinfall win.
Dirty Dom said, I want to contend.
For the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Wade] He's not done yet.
Joe Tess.
The Red Mist has descended
in the mind of Damian Priest.
Dom Mysterio.
The man who is going to challenge for the Number 1 Contendership
for the World Heavyweight Championship
is about to be utterly destroyed.
[Joe] He already is laid out in the ring,
and Damian Priest is hovering from more punishment to be doled out.
[Wade] The referee's given up now.
Security aren't bothering to come down here.
[Joe] He's just standing over the fallen prey.
Dom Mysterio is your winner.
I know it doesn't look that way right now.
Oh, man, Carlito's gonna get some,
South of Heaven.
And he lifts him right off the canvas.
To take it all out from up high.
Another one for Dirty Dom.
Pretty Liv looks on with such concern.
[Wade] As unhinged and consequently, as dangerous
as we've ever seen him.
Dirty Dom looking like anything but a victor tonight.
[Joe] Dirty Dom rolls him up.
Damian Priest is upset.
But then he takes out his frustration.
[Wade] It was fine taking out that frustration.
But taking your eye off the ball
is a huge no no
against some of those devious and quick witted
as Dirty Dom Mysterio.
But there was a price to pay
when it came to messing with the Punisher.
and amongst various the beat downs.
The South of Heaven was the final exclamation.
[Joe] Remember a special start time Saturday,
Crown Jewel, we're just five days away
and it's going to be something special,
we will see you then.
[imperceptible] then.
