[Triple H] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[music concludes]
-["4X4" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, this is Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas,
which hosts WrestleMania.
But tonight, the final Monday Night Raw
before WrestleMania is in the capital in the state of California, Sacramento.
A host of many major WWE events over the years,
and tonight for the 15th time, host of Monday Night Raw,
which is live tonight on Netflix.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Well, Sactown is Yeet-town tonight.
Number one contender for the World Heavyweight title,
Jey Uso is here.
He battles Gunther for the championship at WrestleMania.
The awe-inspiring Penta is here, six nights away from his opportunity
to win his first championship in WWE, the intercontinental title.
His opponent tonight will be one of his three WrestleMania opponents
from Judgment Day, Finn Bálor. Finn versus Penta here tonight.
The main event in WrestleMania Saturday,
a Triple Threat with three of the biggest players in the game.
This man, CM Punk, will have Paul Heyman in his corner for this match.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins,
who has massive issues for years with CM Punk,
will be the next man in this Triple Threat match at WrestleMania,
along with his former Shield brother, Roman Reigns.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Paul Heyman is here.
And Paul is awaiting the arrival of The Original Tribal Chief,
Roman Reigns, who will be here live on Monday Night Raw tonight.
It is the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania.
And we take a look back at last week on Monday Night Raw,
when Gunther and Jey Uso had a confrontation.
[ominous music playing]
[Michael] That is "Main Event" Jey Uso,
a very serious and intense number one contender.
[Jey] You had me, Gunther. You had me, man.
But it wasn't enough for you. You had to go get my family involved.
You violated my brother,
left him a bloody pulp while I'm zip-tied to the ropes.
I sat here
and I watched you wipe my brother's blood all over your body.
Now his blood is on my hands too.
I ain't never felt so hopeless, so helpless, disrespected,
pissed off, mad, angry, damn near scared.
You made the whole damn world stop.
You know what the crazy thing is, uce?
In my darkest moment, man, a light bulb went off on me, uce.
You know what I realized?
I'm not afraid of you no more.
[crowd cheering]
[Jey] The night before WrestleMania, I'm gonna say a prayer,
and I'm gonna ask the Lord to forgive me for the man who I'm about to become.
Because at WrestleMania, I'mma get you.
[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
I'mma get you for me! I'mma get you for Jimmy!
I'mma get you for my whole damn family!
And I will take the World Heavyweight Championship!
[music concludes]
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'll have a very special interview
with the World Champion, Gunther, later on tonight.
But, Pat, welcome to WrestleMania week.
You're damn right.
The Road to WrestleMania has led us to this week
where the climax is right around the corner.
So many answers are about to be found, and last week,
the road to the World Heavyweight Championship
took a turn with Jey Uso stepping up to Gunther right in his face.
Indeed he did.
This is the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania,
which of course comes this Saturday and Sunday in…
["Prepare To Fight" playing]
…Las Vegas.
[Pat] You're talking to him?
[Michael] Yeah, it was supposed to be scheduled
for a bit later on tonight.
Not quite sure what he's doing out here to kick off the show.
[Pat] As a man who does interviews, that face does not appear to…
Yep, he is waving you in.
[Michael] I believe it's time now for the interview.
[Pat] Godspeed in there, Michael Cole.
Gunther does not appear to be in a mood to have a jovial conversation
with Michael Cole, the greatest of all time,
but we shall see.
[music fades]
So I was expecting this a little bit later on tonight,
but Gunther, let's just get to it.
Two weeks ago,
you left Jey Uso's brother Jimmy bloodied in the middle of this ring.
And it caused Jey Uso to march down here last week, different person.
Listen, last week.
[crowd booing]
Last week, Jey walked down here, he looked me in the eye,
and he told me that he's not afraid of me no more.
-Last week, Jey came down here. -[crowd booing]
Let me get to the point.
Tonight, I'm here to look you and everybody else in their eyes
and tell you that Jey Uso is full of crap.
Listen, guys, I understand you're all frustrated.
I understand you're all frustrated.
But speaking of frustration,
Gunther, it appears that you're a bit frustrated.
And we saw what happened last year at WrestleMania when you walked in.
[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
[Gunther] Screw your question!
-Screw Jey Uso! -[Pat] What?
Screw everything Jey Uso stands for,
and screw everybody who stands with him.
[crowd booing]
Ever since I stepped foot in this company,
I am the greatest gift this company has ever received.
[crowd booing]
For 80% of my time in this company, I have been a champion.
[crowd booing]
And right now,
I am the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time.
[crowd booing]
And I… I refuse
to let somebody like Jey Uso, ruin that for me.
[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
[Gunther] Yeah.
Do it as much as you want, I don't care.
Jey, I urge you, put your chest out, walk into WrestleMania
with more confidence than you ever had.
Because it won't matter,
at the end of the day, the bell has to ring.
And when that happens, you still can't lace my boots.
And I will still put you down for a fourth consecutive time.
[crowd booing]
For the last two weeks, I have been accused.
The last two weeks, I've been told, "You went too far with Jimmy."
"You lost control."
Jey, trust me one thing, in 37 years of my life,
I have never lost control.
[crowd chanting "You suck"]
And two weeks ago, when I took a bath in your brother's blood,
I was in full control and I loved it.
[crowd booing]
And Jey, I want you to go pray to the Lord,
thank him that I was in control two weeks ago.
Because if I wouldn't have been,
I would have drowned you both in Jimmy's blood.
-[crowd booing] -[Pat] Jeez.
And I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward next week,
calling my mother and telling her how much I enjoyed it.
To beat the living hell out of Jey Uso
and walk out of WrestleMania still the World Heavyweight Champion!
[microphone clatters]
["Prepare to Fight" playing]
[Pat] Not much of an interview.
Michael Cole asked two questions and then Gunther…
let us know how he feels.
He is not intimidated at all of Jey Uso, says Gunther.
I assume you are intimidated of Gunther.
Good questions. I don't think he was there to talk to you.
You know, I said this last week. I've never seen Gunther in this state.
He's frustrated, and he's lost control of the situation.
Now, will that help him or hurt him come Saturday at WrestleMania?
He said he's never lost control,
but boy, he did seem to flip a switch there
in the middle of the ring, right in front of our eyes.
We also know, ladies and gentlemen,
that we have a women's tag team championship match
on WrestleMania Sunday.
It'll be Liv and Raquel defending against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
Let's take it back to this past Friday night on SmackDown.
It was a Gauntlet match, and what a performance by Lyra and Bayley.
This is the final matchup of the gauntlet,
but Bayley and Lyra Valkyria were extremely potent
in this matchup as a team.
[Pat] Ran the entire gauntlet,
and then obviously Bayley gets a tag whenever she needs it.
Picture perfect tag team wrestling.
Lyra Valkyria would take to the sky, which she is very comfortable doing.
[Michael] Bayley and Lyra would knock off Secret Hervice, poor Chelsea Green,
to earn an opportunity to go to WrestleMania.
-["Liv Gone Mad" playing] -[crowd cheering]
♪ Watch me ♪
[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied by Raquel Rodriguez,
from Elmwood Park, New Jersey,
she is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions,
Liv Morgan!
[Michael] The insufferable tag team champions Liv Morgan
and Raquel Rodriguez head to the ring as Liv Morgan
looks to build a little bit of momentum toward WrestleMania Sunday.
Up next, Bayley takes on Liv Morgan.
Live on Netflix.
[speaks indistinctly]
[dramatic music playing]
I'll be the first to admit that lately I've been in my head.
Everything that's happened with Jade and Naomi,
it really messed me up.
And now this whole situation with Iyo and Rhea has brought out
a different version of me. But different isn't wrong.
My road to WrestleMania has been filled with nothing but blood, sweat, and tears.
Not no complaining, no whining, no excuses, no, just straight facts.
I've been doing nothing but standing up for myself and speaking the truth.
Something that I think that anybody would do,
something that I hope people are teaching their kids to do.
And you don't have to like the truth, but you can't deny it.
Just like I can't deny that now it's a Triple Threat.
Yeah, I've been through a lot, but I'm still the best.
So I'm gonna use everything that I've been through
to be the Bianca that I know that I can be.
I'm the Bianca that won Elimination Chamber.
I'm the Bianca that's never been pinned at WrestleMania.
And I am the strongest, the fastest, the roughest,
the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best Bianca that you have ever seen.
So it doesn't matter if it's a Triple Threat,
because there's nothing that Rhea or Iyo can do to stop me
from getting my flowers and walking out of WrestleMania as champion.
Because you cannot spell WrestleMania without E-S-T.
[music concludes]
[Michael] And the truth is, Bianca Belair has earned her way into this matchup,
winning Elimination Chamber. It is a Triple Threat match.
It is part of WrestleMania Sunday.
Iyo Sky, no champion's advantage,
defending against Bianca Belair and "The Eradicator" Rhea Ripley,
live at WrestleMania.
And we also know at WrestleMania, on WrestleMania Sunday,
Bayley will get her WrestleMania opportunity.
She teams with Lyra Valkyria, the Women's Intercontinental Champion,
to take on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
for the Women's Tag Team titles.
[bell rings]
[Michael] And here we go, and we are underway.
Bayley and Liv Morgan, third time in their career
they've gone one-on-one, Pat.
Liv Morgan has never beaten Bayley in a one-on-one matchup.
However, she did eliminate Bayley
from the Elimination Chamber match earlier this year.
[Pat] Yeah, Liv Morgan starts this thing off
with a smack to the mouth of Bayley.
[Michael] And now Bayley in pursuit of Morgan.
[Pat] Cat and mouse outside,
kicking off WrestleMania week in a big way in Sacramento.
[Michael] Wise move by Liv Morgan, the former two-time world champion.
Ms. Money in the Bank, and Pat mentioned it earlier,
a record-setting three-time women's tag champ.
[Pat] Liv Morgan and Raquel believe they are the greatest women's tag team
of all time.
Three-time tag team champs.
They can lose that, obviously, on Sunday to Bayley and Lyra Valkyria,
and if you're Liv,
you're trying to beat down your WrestleMania opponent
as much as possible.
-[shrieks] -[Michael] We talked a lot last week
about the frustration that had been building for Bayley
over the past number of months, not able to pick up victories.
Elimination Chamber, for the intercontinental title
and so forth, but maybe the Gauntlet match win
on Friday helped cure some of those ills, Pat.
[Pat] Losing to Lyra last Monday and then picking up a big-time dub
on a Friday could be great.
Maybe Lyra is the perfect piece for Bayley.
[Michael] Bayley misses wildly with a right hand.
Liv Morgan ducks underneath the clothesline
and Bayley takes her down, Thesz Press, and now Bayley.
Shades of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, hammering away on Morgan.
Stone Cold, of course, will be a part of the Hall of Fame ceremonies.
Cover now by Bayley and a kick-out by Morgan at two.
-[Pat] Give me a hell yeah, Cole. -[Michael] Hell yeah.
[Pat] Can't wait for that.
-Bayley, obviously, trailblazer. -You want a kissy?
[Pat] Groundbreaker here in this business.
[Michael] Yeah, first-ballot Hall of Famer,
speaking of the Hall of Fame, no doubt about that.
One of the core pieces
to the women's evolution that is celebrating a decade.
[crowd chanting "Bayley"]
[Michael] Bayley, a four-time world champion.
[Michael] Accomplished just about everything.
[Pat] Close to home here,
beloved by the WWE Universe for good reason.
And Liv Morgan, speaking of accomplishing everything.
[Michael] Yeah, Liv Morgan's had quite the year.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Has worked her ass off.
Has gotten better every single day.
[Michael] Yeah, and she lets you know about it too.
-Oh! Morgan into the corner. -[Pat] She's from New Jersey.
-She's very dominant. -[Michael] Bayley with a clothesline.
[Pat] And she'll let you know. And Bayley will put you on your back…
with the quickness of a cat.
[Michael] Bayley knows how to have success at WrestleMania.
Remember last year, Pat, she won the Rumble,
went on to win the WWE Women's Championship
on the grand stage.
She's been afraid for a while over the past few months,
and I had some candid conversations with her,
that she wasn't gonna make it to WrestleMania.
This is my home!
[Michael] Been able to punch the ticket Friday night with the Gauntlet match win.
[Pat] I still can't believe we are so close to WrestleMania.
[Michael] Gonna be quite the week.
-[Pat] Yes, it is. -[Michael] In Las Vegas.
[crowd chanting "Let's go, Bayley"]
[Michael] Nice suplex by Bayley, floats into the cover
for the win on Morgan and a kick-out.
We're sold-out tonight, 14,158 on hand
for the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania.
The Golden 1 Center in the capital of California, Sacramento.
Nice counter by Liv Morgan.
[Pat] Absolutely, she's able to rebalance everything.
Bayley though, crafty.
[Michael] A nice, deep arm drag by Bayley sending Morgan across the ring.
-[Pat] Absolutely. -[Michael] Bayley now.
Oh! Nice back suplex delivered to Morgan and Bayley's rolling.
And you can see some confidence has…
come back to Bayley here tonight.
[Pat] Liv Morgan obviously heading for the hills here,
hiding behind Raquel trying to catch a breather.
[Michael] Bayley with a big smile and a glance up at the WrestleMania sign.
Bayley now, went for the suicide dive and ran right into a right hand by Morgan.
Liv Morgan is nasty and as shrewd as they come.
And now Liv, outside the ring, delivers the first suplex.
And as she rolls the hips, she sets up now for the Three Amigos.
[Pat] On the outside, Cole?
[Michael] Made great by the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
And now Morgan going for the third amigo, but a block by Bayley.
And Bayley able to deliver a knee to the midsection
and send Morgan right into the steps.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Two suplexes onto the out--
-[Michael] Oh! -[Pat] Oh no!
Knee to the stairs from Bayley!
[Michael] And Morgan then stomping on the hand of Bayley as well,
and this could be a disaster.
Off the steps into a suplex!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] We're back live here, ladies and gentlemen.
Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
Over 14,000, sold-out. The final Raw before WrestleMania.
And on WrestleMania Sunday,
Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez defend the tag titles against Bayley
and the Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria.
Bayley and Morgan one-on-one here tonight.
[Pat] Putting on a clinic in here. Liv has been in control,
but Bayley obviously powering up with the people of Sacramento.
[Michael] And now Bayley unloading on Morgan.
Kick right to the midsection by Liv.
[Pat] Big pump kick.
[Michael] Bayley able to block that.
-[Pat] Ooh! -[Michael] Oh! Big knee.
Liv may have a broken nose.
[Pat] Or a crashed cranium.
Bayley hit that right on the button. Now, she's lining up for the buckle.
[Michael] And nobody-- Oh! Face first into the turnbuckle.
Bayley was going for the sunset flip buckle bomb, and…
[Pat] Liv Morgan read it, understood what was happening.
[Michael] And now Morgan with that step-up enzuigiri.
Caught Bayley in the back of the head, cover now for the win,
and a kick-out at two.
Raquel arguing with the official the count was slow.
[Pat] Now, Liv smacking her in the mouth.
[Michael] Surprised he can count to three.
But nonetheless, Morgan with a kick right to the spine.
[Pat] Liv Morgan just smacking Bayley in the mouth after that.
She thought it was over. Bayley continuing the fight.
Now Liv's taking to the sky.
[Michael] From the second rope, Morgan caught by Bayley.
Bayley now looking to turn this around,
trying to turn Morgan into a Boston crab!
Liv trying to counter!
Oh! Morgan stacks up Bayley
and a kick-out by Bayley at two.
Bayley went for the running knee. Morgan now looks for a quick victory.
Bayley kicks out at two again.
And Bayley this time caught her with a knee.
[Pat] Those are two massive knees to the face.
[Michael] But remember the knee injured on the steps earlier tonight, Pat.
[Pat] Absolutely. Another sunset flip buckle bomb.
[Michael] And this time it connects.
Bayley drags Morgan back toward the center of the ring.
-Cover now for the victory. -One, two!
[Michael] And a kick-out by Liv Morgan.
[Pat] Bayley with a flurry of offense there trying to put Liv away.
[crowd member] Get up, Bayley!
[Pat] Sacramento growing restless.
They thought that was over for Bayley. They thought it was one, two, three.
-[referee] I'm warning you, back it off. -[indistinct chatter]
[Michael] Looking on here tonight in Sacramento.
Tremendous battle underway between Bayley and Liv Morgan.
One-on-one tonight.
Crowd has been electric from the get-go.
-[crowd 1 chanting "Let's go, Bayley"] -[crowd 2 chanting "Let's go, Liv"]
[Pat] Liv Morgan kicking off Bayley.
[Michael] "Let's go, Bayley." "Let's go, Liv."
Dueling chants here in Sacramento.
Bayley now out to the apron.
Morgan able to block. Oh!
Right to the face, another Codebreaker by Morgan.
And look at the intense look in the eyes of one half of the tag champs.
[Pat] Liv thinks that's exactly what she needed.
[Michael] And now a drop kick off the apron
and Bayley's in deep, deep trouble.
Morgan may have injured herself as well as she came down hard.
Man, what a match.
Two great matches, two weeks in a row for Bayley.
Morgan bringing it tonight as well.
Just a harbinger of what's to come at WrestleMania.
[Pat] Can Liv end this here on a Monday night?
[Michael] For the win and a kick-out by Bayley at two.
[Pat] What's it gonna take for either one of these women
to put the other one away?
They've both taken each other's best shots.
[Michael] Interesting facial expression by Morgan.
Lyra trying to will Bayley on.
Morgan out. Uh-oh, in trouble. Bayley now.
Has Morgan where she wants her, hangs her up on the second rope.
-[Pat] Liv was looking for Oblivion. -[Michael] Oh!
[Pat] Bayley was able to reverse it and then sneak out of the neckbreaker.
[Michael] And now Morgan off the second rope.
-Oh! Caught by Bayley. -[Pat chuckling]
[Michael] A stunner of sorts for Bayley as Morgan came off the ropes.
And now Bayley with a Bayley to Belly.
Critical moment of this match.
Cover by Bayley for the win.
[crowd counting]
[Michael] And now Rodriguez,
Rodriguez putting Morgan's foot on the bottom rope.
And Lyra Valkyria has had enough. And Lyra attacking Rodriguez.
Bayley had the match won until Raquel Rodriguez got involved
and now a big boot to the Intercontinental Champion.
[Pat] Lyra sticking up for her WrestleMania teammate.
[Michael] And Bayley making Raquel Rodriguez pay.
-[Pat] Flipping Raquel upside down. -[Michael] Backstabber by Morgan.
[shrieks]
[Michael] Liv going for Oblivion. Lyra Valkyria helping out Bayley.
-Bayley with a jackknife cover. -[crowd counting]
-And a win! -[bell rings]
["Role Model" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Bayley!
[Michael] Lyra Valkyria says, "Guess what?"
Turnabout is fair play.
Morgan was going for the Oblivion and the win.
Valkyria helped Bayley,
and the momentum shifts to the challengers
for the tag titles, Sunday at WrestleMania.
[Pat] Bayley and Lyra gotta be flying high heading into Las Vegas
for their tag team title opportunities as Raquel and Liv Morgan
were outsmarted by the brand-new duo here on Monday Night Raw.
Again, WrestleMania Sunday, the women's tag team titles on the line.
We talked about all the festivities going on WrestleMania week,
including both Friday and Monday, The Pat McAfee Show.
We'll be live on ESPN, nine o'clock local,
nine o'clock Pacific, noon on the East Coast from WWE World.
I'll be there, part of Pat's show. And what a lineup you've got for Monday.
-Yeah, huge-- Friday. -Oh, sorry, Friday. Friday.
Monday as well, but Friday, huge news.
The Original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, will be joining us at 9:15 local,
and then, The King of Kings, The Cerebral Assassin, Mr. H,
will be joining us in the second hour.
We hope you will join us for a celebration of WrestleMania
to kick off the whole weekend.
A lot of other special guests as well on Friday.
Well, speaking of Roman Reigns, the main event of WrestleMania Saturday,
Roman, Seth, and CM Punk.
-[song concludes] -[dramatic music playing]
[Punk] What's the favor?
I'm gonna force you, my Tribal Chief, out of your comfort zone.
Because at WrestleMania, in the main event,
in my corner, your wiseman, my best friend,
Paul Heyman.
[inaudible]
-Wiseman. [chuckles] -Yes, my Tribal Chief.
Let this desperate fool down easy, will ya?
No, my Tribal Chief, I can't do that!
[crowd cheering]
[inaudible]
[Punk] I promise you,
I am going to put a beating on the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.
I am going to whip Seth Rollins's ass
at the main event of WrestleMania!
[music concludes]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Rollins] I feel bad for you, Paul Heyman.
You are in a very difficult, unenviable position.
The easiest solution for all of us, for everyone involved,
would be if you just removed yourself from the situation entirely
and let me, and Punk, and Roman battle it out
at WrestleMania for the soul of this industry.
I would take it as a privilege
to remove you from the situation
right here, right now.
[tense music playing]
Don't put your damn hands on me again!
[crowd gasping]
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] CM Punk here!
[crowd gasping]
Now, you owe me a favor.
[crowd gasping]
[music concludes]
[Michael] Paul Heyman finds himself in a predicament here tonight.
Roman Reigns is expected to arrive momentarily.
Pat, Roman and Paul have not been together
since CM Punk revealed the favor a couple of weeks ago.
[Pat] I do not envy that wiseman right there.

[Rhea] Bianca, I can see right through you.
You said you were just out there to watch.
And then you said you were just out there to call it down the middle.
But I can see your true intentions now.
You thrive on playing with my emotions.
Winding me up like I'm some sort of toy to you
just so you can get what you want and make me seem
like I'm the bad guy.
The thing that you fail to understand is that when I lose something that I love,
I will stop at nothing to get it back.
And, Iyo, I never had to give you a championship match.
But watching you pout and moan,
it really pulled on the heartstrings that I had left, so,
I used a page out of your book, and I got what I wanted, too.
So, Iyo, I advise you to cherish every single moment you have
with the Women's World Championship.
And, Bianca, I can't wait to make you feel what it's like when I'm the bad guy.
Because at WrestleMania 41,
I get back what belongs to me.
[music concludes]
[Michael] It wasn't until last week…
["FE!N" playing]
…that Rhea Ripley realized she had an opportunity to get to WrestleMania,
and she's gonna make the most of it. Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky,
Bianca Belair on WrestleMania Sunday for the Women's World Championship.
[intense music playing]
[Michael] There is Julius Creed.
He is set for action here tonight against the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
Let's show you what happened last week. Six-man tag team matchup.
The LWO versus the Creeds and El Grande Americano.
This was a show until Ivy Nile turned things around, Pat.
Clearly handed a piece of metal to the masked man
to put underneath his mask, and Rey caught him.
[Pat] El Grande Americano had a loaded mask,
and we're all learning about El Grande as we go.
Apparently, he is A-OK with loading up his forehead
-and dropping some metal on your face. -[crowd counting]
-[Pat] Picks up a big-time win… -[bell rings]
…and then El Grande got out of there as Bert Kreischer
and his wife LeeAnn looked on.
[Michael] So, Rey Mysterio, part of WrestleMania Saturday…
["Timeless" playing]
…gonna take on El Grande Americano.
It's a shame that…
Rey Mysterio's gotta take on Americano and not actually Chad Gable,
-although Chad Gable does have… -[bell rings]
…his WrestleMania moment this year at least.
Very complicated story.
[Pat] Chad Gabriel and El Grande Americano do resemble each other, kind of.
There's certainly some differences.
[Michael] Julius Creed now backs Mysterio into the corner.
Julius goes 6'3", 229.
Obviously the height and the power advantage over Rey,
but this isn't Rey's first rodeo,
Pat, when it comes to a much larger athlete and a competitor.
[Pat] Yeah, Rey's had to have a strategy against a bigger opponent
for his entire career. That led to him being in the Hall of Fame.
Now Julius Creed's a little bit different though.
This guy's more explosive than he's supposed to be.
Too tall, too strong, too fast, jumps too high.
Has it all.
[Michael] First time ever these two have gone one-on-one as Creed looks
to wear Mysterio down.
This year's WrestleMania, Pat, will mark the 13th career match
for the legendary Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania.
[Pat] And just like that, quick as a hiccup,
backflip against the rope, Julius Creed still in command.
[Michael] Mysterio's had so many great moments
over the years at WrestleMania.
Never forget 2006, won a Triple Threat match
to win the World Championship
after winning the Rumble earlier that year.
[Pat] I don't know what Rey Mysterio was doing there,
thinking that he needs to go power for power with Julius Creed.
I respect it, though.
Julius Creed needs to take advantage of it now.
Once Rey starts using momentum, you're in big trouble.
[Michael] Yeah, just like that. The quickness of Mysterio
with that rana sending Creed toward the ropes.
And Rey now getting fired up. Rey-- Oh!
Former three-time world champion just got stopped in his tracks by Creed.
Cover and a kick-out.
[Pat] Rey just got turned inside out by Julius Creed.
And Julius Creed loves it.
[Michael] You know, this is-- Take another look at this power here.
Pat, this is Creed's
first career singles match on Monday Night Raw
but he is no stranger
to individual competition, the single season record holder in wins
in amateur wrestling at Duke University.
[Pat] Well, you see those ears? Those are earned on the mat.
-Very successful amateur wrestler. -[Michael] Two-time NCAA All-American,
one of the most decorated wrestlers in the history of Duke and the ACC.
[Pat] And not everybody will understand this reference,
but he's an Ohio guy, too.
So take that for what you will.
Incredibly tough, gritty, down to fight whenever.
[Michael] Telling me a story earlier today,
his dad coached amateur wrestling when he was a young child.
He used to sleep on the mats in the gym.
[Pat] Rey Mysterio was doing this when he was doing--
[Michael] Uh-oh, Julius sends him out to the apron,
but Rey with tremendous balance.
Mysterio with a forearm to the face and Creed back down to the floor,
and Rey's gonna go high.
[Pat] And Sacramento loves it.
[Michael] And now brother Brutus Creed distracting the official,
-and Chad Gable gets involved. -[crowd booing]
[Pat] Chad Gable would say that he's a genius for doing that
as Julius just jumped up to the top rope.
[Michael] And now Dragon Lee with a little payback.
[Pat] Chaos is breaking loose here on Monday Night Raw.
[Michael] Senior official Chad Patton looking to take control.
[indistinct clamor]
[Michael] And he sends everybody to the showers.
-So we're gonna get Rey and… -[Pat] Six piece.
-…Julius one-on-one, finally.
-That's bullcrap! This is America! -[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] WWE fans sold out Sacramento tonight,
over 14,000 trying to will Rey Mysterio on.
Julius Creed's been dominating this matchup ever since LWO and…
American Made were kicked out by official Chad Patton,
but Rey fighting back now.
Mysterio who takes on El Grande Americano at WrestleMania.
-[Pat] Rey Mysterio. -[Michael] Uh-oh, and look at this.
Oh, Rey tumbles hard and Creed hit his spine on the apron.
[Pat] Great rana by Rey Mysterio to get Julius Creed out of the ring.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And now Rey Mysterio building some momentum here.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Rey with that baseball slide, caught, caught by Creed.
What an incredible move and power by Julius Creed.
He picked Mysterio out of the air, intercepted him.
Now he powers him up into a suplex position,
and Julius Creed marching up the steps toward the ring.
[Pat shouting] Are you kidding me right now?
Julius Creed's strength!
[Michael] Absolutely insane what we just witnessed.
-And now a big kick drives… -[crowd gasps]
…Rey back toward the corner.
Oh! Nobody home!
Rey stepped out of harm's way and Creed post to the shoulder.
[Pat] Julius Creed was parading around the outside of the ring with Rey Mysterio.
-Felt like he was on top of the world. -[Michael] Man, I--
That was incredible, what Julius Creed just did a little bit ago.
Catching Mysterio in mid-air,
powering him up, but Mysterio able to counter.
And now Rey, top rope where he feels comfortable.
Rey with a hurricanrana from the top, sending Creed into the corner.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] This is what Rey wants,
-Julius reeling, him in charge. -[crowd] One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. [cheering]
[Michael] And WrestleMania fever is building here tonight on Raw.
[Pat] Huge rights from Rey Mysterio.
[crowd chanting "Rey"]
[Pat] What is wrong with this dude?
-[crowd gasping] -[Michael] Uh-oh, again caught.
Picked out of mid-air again!
Julius Creed-- And what a counter by Mysterio into a DDT!
-The legendary Rey Mysterio! -[crowd counting]
[Michael] And a kick-out by Creed.
[Pat] I feel like we're watching two humans not from this world.
[Michael] I have had the honor to call the majority of the matches
-in Rey Mysterio's illustrious career. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And I am amazed each and every time.
Father Time has not caught up with Rey Mysterio.
[crowd applauding, chanting "This is awesome"]
[Pat] Yes, it is.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Slide through.
[Michael] Oh!
That knee drives Mysterio to the ropes. Creed now straps down.
Got a little overzealous and went up over the top rope to the floor.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Pat] Rey Mysterio played Julius Creed perfectly there.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh no, no, no, no, no, Rey, turn around!
[Pat] El Grande Americano's here!
[Michael] And now Mysterio with El Grande,
and Mysterio now trying to rip the mask off of Americano
to prove to the world it's Chad Gable.
Creed now from behind, rolls up Mysterio.
Rey kicks out at two.
Oh, what a shock, Gable kicked out, and who shows up now?
El Grande Americano,
never seen him in the same place at the same time with Chad Gable.
Meanwhile, Mysterio…
[Pat] Couple weeks ago, we saw them same place, same time.
-[Michael] 619! -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Let's Drop Da Dime, Rey!
[crowd] One! Two!
-Three! -[Pat] Rey is going to Mania.
-[bell rings] -[crowd cheering]
["Booyaka 619" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Rey Mysterio!
[Michael] Big victory for Rey here tonight.
Meanwhile-- El Grande Americano with a sneak attack to Mysterio.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] And now the LWO coming to his aid.
And again, using what I would believe was yet still the loaded mask this week.
You see the head-butts being delivered by Americano.
You gotta believe that steel plate is still in the mask of this man.
And there again, wiping out all of LWO.
Adam Pearce has got to do an investigation into this.
Somebody's got to check out this guy's mask before WrestleMania.
[Pat] El Grande Americano keeps hitting people with this,
not forehead, but cinco head, and knocking people out.
[Michael] He might as well have a football helmet on,
because just like that, Rey Mysterio's out.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] You're telling me that's not Chad Gable.
[Pat] That's El Grande Americano.
[lively mariachi music playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Look it, there it is, I told you.
[Michael] Once again, slipping that piece of metal behind the mask.
[Pat] Loads that forehead up, hits the cinco head off of Rey's face.
Not once, but twice, just days removed from WrestleMania.
[Michael] Well, on WrestleMania Saturday, that man…
El Grande Americano…
-[Pat] I think he just said, "Gracias". -…wants to embarrass…
the greatest luchador of all time…
in Rey Mysterio.
You're telling me that's not Gable?
[Pat] That's El Grande Americano.
I'm not saying what he's doing is right.
I'm just saying that's El Grande Americano right there.
[intense music playing]
Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths
about how The New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.
But the fact of the matter is, The War Raiders have blazed
a path of world domination for more than a decade.
We've won gold on multiple continents.
And last week, we had you beat dead to rights.
[crowd cheering]
-[bell ringing] -You took the cowards way out.
You knew you couldn't beat us.
[Ivar] You say this is about these titles.
But it's about more than these championships now.
Last week, you took this to a whole new level.
Because you didn't come for these titles.
You came for my neck.
You tried to put me back on the shelf. You tried to end my career.
So at WrestleMania, this isn't gonna be a match.
Hell, this isn't even gonna be a fight.
This is…
war.
-[music concludes] -[Kingston] He's dragging them off.
[Woods] He's dragging them off.
I mean, we're not in it, but it's still all right.
-Yeah, that's the GOAT. -[Jackie] Excuse me, guys,
Xavier, Kofi, we just heard from The War--
Jackie, we got WWE in Clash of Clans, and you're gonna interrupt this too?
Jackie, your lack of etiquette is simply audacious.
Listen, genuinely, I'm sorry,
but we heard from The War Raiders earlier,
and they said that you guys took things to a whole new level last week.
And they're saying that your match at WrestleMania in less than a week
is gonna be a war.
-War? We've been in war. -Yeah.
-You see how these people treat us? -You see how the people in the locker room
-have been treating us this entire time? -It's been war the whole time.
We've been at war the entire time, Jackie.
But the war path stops
at WrestleMania when we take back what belongs to us.
That's our WWE World Tag Team Championships.
And we remind the entire world that your boys,
-The New Day… -New Day.
…are the greatest tag team on the face of planet Earth.
Because, Jackie, last week was just a taste
of what The New Day is willing to do to get our titles back.
And after WrestleMania,
Erik is gonna wish that we would've taken his head off
so him and Ivar wouldn't have to catch
the beating they're gonna get this Saturday.
And when we regain our Tag Team Championships
at WrestleMania, every irrelevant and immature member
of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees,
raise their hands to the sky and scream in unison,
"Thank God for The New Day."
Guys, thanks. Thanks for the time. We'll see you at WrestleMania.
Cole, sounds like The New Day is ready for a war. Back to you.
[Michael] Better you than me interviewing them, Jackie.
[dramatic hip-hop music playing]
[music fades]
-["Phenomenal" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Pat chuckles] And this is "Phenomenal."
-[explosion] -[crowd cheering]
[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Gainesville, Georgia,
weighing at 220 pounds,
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!
[Michael] AJ Styles prepares for Logan Paul at WrestleMania,
but he's got Karrion Kross next.
♪ Scared, no They don't really want none ♪
♪ I'm a Mack truck, don't get run over ♪
♪ We some country boys Working overtime for it ♪
♪ Kings of the south ♪
-["Dead Silent" playing] -[Michael] An interesting story he told us
about these tights earlier today, Pat,
as we get set for the AJ Styles versus Logan Paul matchup at WrestleMania
that takes place on WrestleMania Sunday.
Back to the tights for a moment for Karrion Kross.
He actually went to the man who makes the tights for AJ Styles.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] And they are very, very similar
in nature, and there's a reason for this.
-We don't have to do this. -[Pat] And said, he wants…
-I'm literally just trying to help you. -…AJ to go back to his evil ways.
-[crowd chanting "AJ Styles"] -[inaudible]
[Pat] The darker version of AJ Styles of yesterday.
-[inaudible] -Don't listen to that.
-Do not listen to that. -[crowd chanting "AJ Styles"]
They're just messing with your head. They don't mean it.
[Pat] 'Cause Karrion Kross believes that AJ Styles is representing
for the entire business against Logan.
[Michael] And AJ Styles now driving Kross back into the corner.
AJ's never lost to Karrion Kross one-on-one,
doesn't plan to start that here tonight.
You mentioned unleashing the more dangerous side of AJ Styles.
Karrion Kross is not happy that a man like Logan Paul is involved in WWE.
[Pat] Yeah, he simply said takes the easy way up to the top.
-Didn't have to earn it all the same… -[Michael] Ooh!
…stuff that outsiders get told whenever they come to the WWE.
Karrion Kross said that AJ Styles is representing for not only him,
but the entire industry.
And he wants him to go back to a little more evil ways,
a little bit darker, whatever you need to do to get a win over Logan Paul.
[Michael] AJ Styles, 20-plus years of working hard
to the top of the industry, former two-time WWE Champion.
And say whatever you want about Logan Paul,
-whether you agree with him or you don't. -Get off the rope!
-One, two… -You can't hear me?
-It doesn't have to be this way. -…three, four.
[Michael] Paul has been tremendous.
And now, Scarlett getting involved, referee Jessika Carr dealing with Kross.
And that's the dangerous siren known as Scarlett.
Well, look at you now.
[Michael] And Logan Paul has been highly successful here
since arriving on the scene in WWE.
[Pat] Stupendous would be the word.
Built for the moment, built for the business.
Karrion Kross doesn't like it one bit.
Karrion tried to manipulate folks into doing things his way.
[Michael] Great suplex by Kross delivered to AJ Styles.
-[crowd jeering] -[inaudible]
[Michael] And Scarlett loves what she sees,
the manipulative and cunning Scarlett.
[Pat] Karrion's not scared to operate from the shadows.
Trying to pull some strings.
[Michael] A man who thrives on suffering.
-[Styles groans] -[groans mockingly]
-[laughs] -[Michael] And now mocking Styles.
[Pat] Did not expect this out of Karrion Kross here tonight.
[Michael] Yeah, he said he needed to change things,
needed to go about things differently.
[Pat] AJ Styles needs to do some things differently as well.
Standing drop-kick right to the mouth.
[Michael] Yeah, great resilience by Styles.
[Pat] Styles needs a big time win heading into the weekend as well.
[Michael] AJ, baseball slide, drives Kross.
[Pat] Into the second row.
[Michael] AJ launches himself over the top,
lands on the apron, as Kross rolled out of harm's way.
And now, takes AJ out, hit the side of his face pretty hard on the apron.
[Pat] Absolutely, Karrion Kross with the reversal, chopping out the legs.
Now, what's he thinking?
[Michael] And AJ driven into the barricade and almost into the front row.
-[referee] Two! -[crowd member] Do something!
[referee] Come on, you can go.
[Michael] Would you ever go to a wrestling event
dressed as a Prime bottle?
[Pat] I was wondering about old buddy over there.
-He must really like it! -[Michael] Oh, wow!
-Styles driven into the timekeeper's area! -[Kross yelling]
[Michael] Kross is on a mission tonight.
[Pat] Wow.
[Michael] I cannot help but be impressed at the offensive prowess
of Karrion Kross tonight.
A much more physical and intense Kross as over 14,000 look on in Sacramento.
Sold out the final Raw before WrestleMania.
And AJ Styles went for the counter.
Kross though turns it into a cover,
and a kick-out.
Great move by Kross.
[Pat] Brilliant by Karrion Kross.
[Michael] And Karrion's been dominating this thing,
which doesn't bode well for Styles heading into WrestleMania
against Logan Paul.
[Pat] Wait a minute.
[Michael] And up on his shoulders.
Oh! And down goes AJ Styles.
A little Final Prayer action…
-[crowd counting] -…attempted by Kross,
-and a kick-out by Styles. -[crowd jeering]
[Pat] How about Karrion Kross here tonight?
-AJ Styles has… -Are you trying to sandbag me, AJ?
…WrestleMania a few days away,
and Karrion Kross has given him all that he can handle.
[Michael] You know, we talked during the entrance of Karrion Kross
about how he wanted to go back to the old theme,
go back to the old entrance,
try to recapture some of that former glory,
get himself back in that place where he wants to hurt people,
make it about himself. And he's done just that.
[Pat] Feels like he's found something at the bottom of the bottle,
fill it back up.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Styles with a chop. AJ never out of a fight.
Multi-time champion in his career all around the world.
-And Kross-- Wait a minute. -[Kross groans]
Oh my God.
[Michael] Did he twist his ankle?
[Pat] He went down quick, buckled almost, if you will.
-[inaudible] -[crowd jeering]
[Michael] I think Kross may have twisted his ankle.
[Pat] Looks like he lost balance.
It gave out from underneath him, obviously in pain--
-[Michael] Oh! And a cheap shot by Kross. -[crowd gasping, jeering]
[Michael] And now, a big smile on his face,
obviously a ruse.
AJ showed a bit of sympathy as he went to the official
to ask about Kross.
And remember, AJ Styles had a similar ankle injury
back late last year that cost him a number of months of his career,
and Kross preyed on that tonight.
And AJ Styles ticked off that he showed a little bit of sympathy,
and now he's gonna take that fight to Kross.
[Pat] Absolutely. Kross was giving himself a one-man parade.
[Michael] And there's that sliding forearm by Styles.
And I think all Kross did was give AJ Styles an opening.
And here comes The Phenomenal One.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Didn't have enough though.
Kross, kick to the midsection, plants him with a DDT.
-That's it. -[Michael] And Kross says, "That's it."
[crowd booing, jeering]
[Pat] Karrion and Scarlett having a massive Monday Night Raw,
-can they get a win over AJ Styles? -[Michael] And Karrion loading up.
Karrion Kross setting up for the Kross Hammer here to Styles,
who ducked underneath. Styles with Kross up top.
-Oh! Knee right to the spine. -[crowd gasping]
[Pat] These two…
beating the hell out of each other.
[Michael] Styles launched out to the apron by Kross.
Hung up Kross on the top rope. Styles now with a big right hand,
Kross sent to the middle of the ring. AJ Styles in position.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Kross dazed, stunned, back to his feet.
Styles off the top rope, Phenomenal Forearm, cover.
[crowd counting]
[Michael] Could that be the fate
-of Logan Paul… -[bell rings]
-…WrestleMania Sunday? -["Phenomenal" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Karrion Kross, so impressive tonight,
but once again, Pat,
-the resilience of the veteran AJ Styles. -[crowd counting]
-[Pat] Karrion Kross gave AJ Styles… -[bell rings]
…all he can handle tonight, but in the end…
-just like we've seen time and time… -[energetic hip-hop music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Speaking of time, right on time…
a Maverick has arrived.
-AJ Styles! -[crowd jeering]
Hey, whoa, whoa, what's up with all the hostility?
[crowd booing]
Sacramento, chill, I came out here to tell my man congratulations.
[crowd booing]
Seriously, AJ-- No, good win, brother. Congratulations, you did it!
[inaudible]
In front of Sacramento,
a bunch of people who weren't cool enough to live in Los Angeles…
and weren't smart enough to live in San Francisco.
[crowd continues booing]
You, my friend, just showed these generic California losers…
[crowd jeering]
…why you versus me at WrestleMania is gonna cook.
[crowd jeering]
But hey, AJ, now,
why don't we show them why our match is gonna make money?
Here's what you're up against.
Please, please enjoy this piece of cinema.
-[dramatic hip-hop music playing] -[Logan] I am "The Maverick" Logan Paul.
And I don't want to be one of y'all. I'm one of one.
I accomplish more in one weekend than you will in your entire lives.
[Logan] I didn't just join the WWE to take part,
I joined to take over.
Let me remind you, I'm a purveyor of viral media,
your son's favorite superstar, your girlfriend's celebrity crush,
multi-hyphenate disruptor, entrepreneur, innovator,
actor, wrestler, boxer, the most viral athlete in this company.
You're mad at me 'cause you want to be me.
Keep clicking on keyboards, I'll keep being on billboards.
[music concludes]
[crowd booing]
-[Pat] Nice life highlight there of Logan. -Hey!
That's a cute little video, smart ass.
But why don't we start WrestleMania a couple of days early,
and bring your ass to the ring right now?
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[inaudible]
[Michael] Styles was not impressed.
And Logan Paul making his way to the ring now.
And Karrion Kross trying to sneak attack Styles.
-Styles is ready. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Styles now trying to take out Paul and Kross.
[crowd member] We love you, AJ!
[Michael] And Karrion Kross now,
as the numbers game may catch up to AJ Styles here.
-Styles though, oh, takes him out. -[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] An Impaler, that inverted DDT by Styles.
But-- Logan Paul! And Pat, you mentioned it earlier.
-[Pat] All it takes is one titanium punch… -[crowd jeering]
…and then it's time…
for the…
-Paulverizer from Logan Paul! -[yells]
[energetic hip-hop music playing]
[Michael] Once again, Logan Paul, impressive tonight,
had a little bit of help from Karrion Kross,
but nonetheless sends a message to Mr. Styles.
[Pat] All it takes is one big right, and then the Paulverizer,
and Logan can beat anybody in this industry,
and he knows it, and he'll tell you about it.
[Michael] Logan Paul hopes to create another viral moment
when he goes one-on-one with AJ Styles Sunday
at WrestleMania.
[Michael] We're still awaiting the arrival of The Original Tribal Chief.
Paul Heyman apparently has not seen Roman Reigns since…
he requested and he granted CM Punk's favor a couple of weeks ago.
What's Heyman in for with Reigns tonight?

[music concludes]
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, this was last Monday,
one-on-one between Penta
-and Dominik Mysterio. -[bell rings]
[Michael] Penta would pick up the win,
and then, well, when it comes to The Judgment Day,
you always know things are gonna get out of control.
Carlito would attack,
and then The Unpredictable Badass,
Bron Breakker, with one of the greatest spears of all time.
[Pat] A super spear from the dog that was barking.
As he sawed the entire Judgment Day in half, and then said,
"Penta, you can get one too."
[Michael] And then Finn Bálor would make his own statement.
Bálor, Dominik, Penta, Breakker, Fatal Four-Way at WrestleMania.
Let's go to Cathy Kelley.
Thanks so much, Cole. I am here now with Intercontinental Champion,
-Bron Breakker. -[crowd barking]
Bron, this Sunday at WrestleMania, the odds are stacked against you
as you put that title on the line against three other men.
So, how are you handling and navigating going into
what they're calling the biggest title defense of your career?
Yeah, Cathy, I mean, this is obviously the biggest title defense of my career.
-This is my very first-- -Oh my God!
-[Cathy] Bron! -[Michael] Oh!
-[Cathy] Somebody help! -[Michael] Bálor and Dom and Carlito.
-Put him in the wall, put him in the wall. -[Pat] That damn Judgement Day.

-[Bálor grunts] -[Breakker groans]

Huh? Looks like your bark is worse than your bite.

-[Michael] Wow! -[Pat] Bron gonna be all right?
[Michael] Well, he better be, he defends his title this weekend.
["Zero Miedo" playing]
♪ Cero miedo! ♪
-[explosion] -[crowd cheering]
[roars]
-[Michael] El fuego. -[bell rings]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Ecatepec, Mexico,
weighing in at 87 kilos, Penta!
[Michael] Well, this coming weekend at WrestleMania,
WrestleMania Sunday,
Penta tries to win his first championship in WWE.
But before we get there,
he has his hands full tonight with the dangerous Finn Bálor.
Penta, Bálor live on Netflix.
["I AM DANGER" playing]
[Michael] Finn Bálor takes on Penta one-on-one here tonight.
Now, these two men will be part of the first ever…
Fatal Four-Way for the Intercontinental Championship
in the history of WrestleMania. This illustrious title…
has never been defended in a Fatal Four-Way
on The Grandest Stage of Them All, but it will take place.
Penta now driving Finn Bálor off the apron.
Penta has seen and heard enough. There's so much…
[crowd gasping, cheering]
-…bad blood between these guys. -[cheers]
[Michael] And Penta fired up here tonight.
[Pat] Absolutely, Penta says, "You're in for something special tonight."
[Michael] You know, the Fatal Four-Way, WrestleMania Sunday.
No champion's advantage
-for the champ, Bron Breakker… -[bell rings]
…because the first man to gain pinfall or submission will become the champion.
[Pat] And two of the people in the match are obviously in the same group
who have obviously worked together in the past,
so there's a lot to keep their eye on.
[Michael] And Penta's seeking his first championship at WWE--
Great crossbody into the lateral press.
Finn Bálor, he is a former Universal Champion,
two-time Intercontinental Champion.
First time these two have gone one-on-one here tonight.
Remember, Bálor eliminated Penta in the Royal Rumble.
And then he pinned Penta in a tag team match a couple of weeks ago.
Penta's first pinfall loss here in WWE.
[Pat] Yeah, the only negativity
that has come from Penta's WWE career thus far
has come from that man, Finn Bálor.
[Michael] Nice kick by Penta to the face of Bálor.
Finn Bálor a veteran-- Now,
interesting under these Fatal Four-Way rules.
You know, Bálor could pin Dominik Mysterio,
his Judgement Day stablemate…
-Here's the cover! -One, two…
Kick-out.
To win the championship.
Or Dominik Mysterio could pin Finn Bálor
to win the Intercontinental Championship.
[Pat] Yeah, The Judgment Day is going to implode totally at WrestleMania.
-I think we can all see-- -[Michael] Or will they work together?
-[crowd chanting “Cero miedo”] -[Pat] Seems doubtful.
Rather selfish group, The Judgment Day.
There'll be an intercontinental title on the line.
[Michael] Well, I don't think that…
Selfish is a great word to use for the group.
I also like to use the word jealousy because Finn Bálor's been jealous
about everyone in that group for over a year now.
It's reared its ugly head on a number of occasions,
i.e. Damian Priest.
[Pat] Finn Bálor just wants to get back in championship conversations.
[softly] Penta hushes us.
-[Michael] Yeah, but isn't it-- -[Pat shushes] Please.
Please.
-[Michael] Oh! -[crowd gasping]
[Michael] Thank you.
[Pat] He shushed us all, and it was for good reason.
He just smacked Finn Bálor's chest.
[Michael] Penta sent across the ring, up over the top, sunset flip.
Bálor with a nice basement drop kick.
Cover now by Bálor, hook of the leg,
Penta kicks at two.
Bálor's been frustrated, has not been able to win singles gold in a long time.
Enters into his fifth WrestleMania match this year.
Penta, of course, making his debut on the big stage.
[Pat] I remember Finn Bálor, former world champion.
[Michael] Dominik's been a part of WrestleMania.
Bron Breakker, never been a part of the big show,
has his first opportunity under the bright lights this weekend.
[Pat] The dogs will be barking in Vegas for our Intercontinental Champion,
but he has a tall task ahead of him.
[Michael] Yeah, and is he gonna be 100% after that mugging
by Judgment Day a little bit earlier on tonight?
[crowd booing]
[Pat] The intercontinental title represents everything that is great
in this business.
The greats that have held it are those who have built this company
and this industry as a whole.
[Michael] Dozens and dozens of Hall of Famers,
including one to be inducted on Friday night,
The Game, Triple H, have held the gold.
[Pat] Week in, week out, working.
Putting the company literally on your back.
[Michael] Yeah, the working man's championship.
That's what it's always been termed over the years as Bálor continues
to stomp away at Penta.
The example set of course in 1979 by the late great Pat Patterson,
the first Hall of Famer to hold the title.
Too sweet.
[Pat] Too sweet there.
I don't know if the club is full.
[Michael] Penta now with Bálor up on his shoulders.
What is Penta planning to do?
Wait a minute, Bálor turns it around, and on the apron,
Penta's down and maybe out.
[Pat] How about the balance of Finn Bálor? Bálor was able to hold.
[Michael] Finn's taking over.
[groans]
[Michael] Penta, Bálor, in a barn burner here on Monday Night Raw.
Two of the four men in the Fatal Four-Way
Sunday at WrestleMania.
Cover off the superplex, hook of the leg, Penta able to kick out at two.
[Pat] Superplex from Finn Bálor.
Planting Penta through Sacramento.
[Michael] I talked to, asked Pat a question a few moments ago
about being a professional athlete.
Pat, of course, played professional football
and how when you're in the playoffs, you know they're coming.
You lose that last game of the year, does it hurt the momentum going
into the playoffs the following week?
[Pat] I think from having a front row seat,
the good teams are able to make one loss just be one loss,
not turn it into two.
But if you lose momentum,
it can certainly carry into your next match.
[Michael] And Penta now building momentum.
[Pat] Which you would not want heading into WrestleMania.
On the other side, a huge win tonight heading into WrestleMania.
[Michael] It is amazing to me the way that Penta is able to turn things around,
just tremendous resilience.
When you think he's down and out, he just goes into a next gear.
And look at that! Oh my!
Backstabber, cover by Penta,
for the win, Bálor at two!
[Pat] His innovative offense is so damn devastating.
How is Finn Bálor able to move, let alone kick out after that?
[Michael] Might be in traction for months.
[Pat] Eyes welling.
[crowd chanting "Olé olé olé"]
[Michael] This crowd has been electric all night.
What a way to kick off the most exciting,
most important week in sports entertainment,
WrestleMania week,
60,000 plus both Saturday and Sunday night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
[Pat] What's Penta calling for here?
[Michael] Bálor in trouble, Penta now.
Looking to make some magic yet again.
Bálor fighting back, Penta lands on the apron.
[Pat] Big chop.
[Penta yelling in Spanish]
-[Michael] Oh, wow! -[crowd gasping, applauding]
[Michael] Kick by Penta to the face, stops Bálor in his tracks.
Sling blade by Penta, and now Penta's starting to fly.
[Pat] The freakish athleticism right now.
[Michael] Now, Bálor with a sling blade of his own.
-[Pat] Bálor needed that in the worst way. -[Michael] Man, he's so good.
Bálor's so damn good.
[Pat] I thought Penta was running away with it, Bálor.
[Michael] Penta though, a nice tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to Bálor.
Back and forth we go. Tremendous matchup.
Between two of the best in the game, Penta now spins through,
looking for the sacrifice,
looking to dislocate the shoulder of Finn Bálor.
-Want me to stop it, Finn? -[Pat] That looked disgusting.
Shoulder just popped out of place.
[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
[Michael] And now Penta,
went for the Penta Driver, roll-up now by Bálor for the win,
hooks the leg, kick-out by Penta.
[Pat] Finn Bálor's gotta be Gumby.
How the hell did his shoulder get back in the socket?
[Michael] And Penta still fighting back.
Kicks and right hands, and another kick by Penta.
Superkick to the jaw.
Bálor still on his feet. Now, drops to the mat.
[Pat] Physical fight here between Penta and Finn.
Both taking quite a beating before WrestleMania.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[crowd jeering]
[Michael] Oh, and here's Dominik and Carlito.
Judgment Day shows up once again as Bálor was in trouble,
rolls up Penta, shoulders down, Penta kicks at two.
-[Pat] Judgment Day had to make… -[Michael] Sling blade.
-…themselves a part of this. -[Michael] Of course they did.
[crowd jeering, booing]
[Michael] Working together tonight, will that be the case…
at WrestleMania?
-And now Penta's in the drop zone. -["Breakk And Destroy" playing]
[Michael] Uh-oh!
[Pat] I think the dogs are barking in Sacramento.
[Michael] And The Unpredictable Badass is pissed off after getting attacked
by The Judgment Day backstage.
Carlito, you were in that same position last week,
you might want to get the hell out of there.
Smart by Carlito.
-Here's Bálor! Oh my goodness! -[Pat] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[Michael] Carlito just dove right over… -[bell rings]
…our announce table to prevent himself from getting to Bron Breakker.
[Pat] That makes sense from Carlito, for sure, especially after last week.
And now Bron Breakker's getting kicked in the face.
[Michael] Yeah, I like how Carlito ran back to the ring.
I think he broke my leg when he came up over the top.
But nonetheless, double team now by Dom and Carlito on Bron Breakker.
And Breakker is fighting back.
-Breakker, spear! Double spear! -[crowd cheering, applauding]
[crowd barking]
-[Michael] How about them apples? -[Pat barks]
Two humans, one spear, and now Penta!
[Michael] Penta, turn around…
because you might wanna have a little bit of fear
when you look in the eyes of Bron Breakker.
Kick by Penta.
Penta stopped Breakker in his tracks.
Uh-oh, went for the rana, didn't get all of it.
Breakker sent out of the ring though by Penta.
-Penta, top rope, takes out everybody! -[crowd cheering, applauding]
-[Penta roaring] -["Zero Miedo" playing]
[Michael] Will it be Penta's night?
Penta, Bálor, Mysterio, Breakker.
It's the first Fatal 4-Way match for the intercontinental title
in WrestleMania history.
And it takes place on WrestleMania Sunday.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sky in Japanese] This message is for Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley.
You keep forgetting that I'm the Women's World Champion.
You push me out of the way for your petty fights
like I mean nothing,
but I'm the whole reason…
you're fighting in the first place?
Because I have the one thing you both want,
the Women's World Championship.
So I'm done being ignored. I'm done being forgotten.
Because you have to go through me to get this title,
and I'm not afraid to take you both on to defend it.
I've beaten you both before.
And I'll beat you again!
[In English] At WrestleMania, you will never forget the name Iyo Sky,
Women's World Champion.
[upbeat hip-hop music playing]
We want to invite everyone to join us at the T-Mobile Arena
on the biggest Monday Night Raw of the year.
You never know what's going to happen. It's unpredictable.
It's the Raw after Mania, Monday night, live from Las Vegas.
As we head now towards WrestleMania weekend.
-[Pat] Yeah, I-- Michael Cole… -["FE!N" playing]
…when we talk about a weekend that is packed and stacked,
we're talking about one that's gonna be voiced by you for the 28th time.
And this Triple Threat could be the show stealer,
CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and The OTC, Roman Reigns.
[Michael] It is the main event of WrestleMania Saturday.
Also part of WrestleMania Saturday, it can't get much personal than this.
Jade Cargill takes on a woman she believes was her friend,
the very jealous Naomi, Saturday at WrestleMania.
[Pat] Packed card, packed weekend.
How about a World Tag Team Championship match?
The New New Day takes on the Monday Night War Raiders
on WrestleMania Saturday.
[Michael] Rey Mysterio's 13th WrestleMania
and he plans to embarrass and expose El Grande Americano.
These two go one-on-one at WrestleMania.
[Pat] El Grande Americano on The Grandest Stage. I can't wait.
How about the United States Championship?
Where LA Knight,
yeah, defends his title against Jacob Fatu.
[Michael] The Samoan Werewolf at WrestleMania Saturday.
And how heated and personal and ugly has this become?
Tiffany Stratton defends the WWE Women's Championship
against Charlotte Flair on WrestleMania Saturday.
-[Pat] That one has gotten real. -["Timeless" playing]
[Pat] How about the World Heavyweight Championship?
Gunther, who has seemingly been flustered the last couple of weeks,
take on the Yeet Universe and Jey Uso on WrestleMania Saturday.
[Michael] And then we move over to WrestleMania Sunday,
where we'll have the Women's Tag Team Championship match.
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria ran the gauntlet.
They take on Liv and Raquel for the title on WrestleMania Sunday.
[Pat] WrestleMania Sunday, a battle of big men.
The Sin City Street Fight, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre,
slug it out on WrestleMania Sunday.
[Michael] Moments ago, we saw a preview of this match,
the Intercontinental Championship Fatal 4-Way match.
Bron Breakker defends against Penta,
Bálor, and "Dirty" Dom on WrestleMania Sunday.
[Pat] And how about The Maverick, the show stealer, Logan Paul,
battling against The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles,
on a potential weekend stealing fight on WrestleMania Sunday.
[Michael] You wanna talk about show stealers, what about this one?
Iyo Sky defending the Women's World Championship
in a Triple Threat match
against the winner of the Elimination Chamber, Bianca Belair,
and former champion, Rhea Ripley.
The stars are out at WrestleMania Sunday.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] And ladies and gentlemen, it is for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Cody Rhodes has held the title for a year. Can he continue to get it done?
Or will John Cena set a record,
a record-breaking 17th World Championship?
Rhodes, Cena, the Main Event for all the marvels,
WrestleMania Sunday.
-[music fades] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Well, Mr. Heyman's, still…
-[crowd roaring, applauding] -I've never seen you so stressed.
I'm gonna calm you down. Look in my eyes. What do you see?
-A cult of personality? -[chuckles] No. A real friend.
[crowd cheering]
Who isn't gonna do anything to put you in harm's way.
[Heyman] Ah, my Tribal Chief!
My Tribal Chief.
Pat, what a mess Paul Heyman finds himself in.
Punk in his corner,
owes Seth Rollins a favor, and now Roman Reigns hasn't talked to him
since Heyman granted Punk the favor a couple of weeks ago.
And our OTC walks in here and who is Paul talking to?
-"The cult of personality." -["I Am Greatness" playing]
[Michael] Not a good look for Mr. Heyman.
[Pat snickers]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] This is gonna be good.
Roman Reigns is back live on Netflix.
[music concludes]
["Head Of The Table" playing]
[Michael] Roman Reigns is here on Raw.
[Pat] And the ones are to the sky in Sacramento.
[Michael] Paul Heyman, who followed Roman out to the ring like a puppy dog…
will not be in Reigns's corner at WrestleMania.
[music fades]
[Pat] Poor husband back there.
[crowd chanting "OTC"]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting]
[Pat] Oh.
[crowd chanting "OTC"]
-Sacramento… -[crowd cheering]
-…acknowledge me. -[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting "OTC"]
The whole world can feel that.
The whole world can hear that you love and acknowledge your Tribal Chief.
[crowd cheering]
And now the whole world understands
that you would never betray your Tribal Chief.
But not everybody's like you.
Some people would betray me.
Sacramento, you got any guesses on who that might be?
[crowd yelling]
Wiseman…
how could you betray me?
Why?
[crowd jeering]
[crowd chanting "CM Punk"]
[Heyman] My Tribal Chief…
it was not a betrayal.
I paid back a favor that I owed.
Sacramento, I must be a little confused here.
The way favors work
is you usually pay it back yourself, correct?
[crowd] Yeah!
It feels like the only person getting screwed here
in this whole favor is me.
And if there's one thing you know about me,
if there's one thing you know about your Tribal Chief,
we ain't ever gonna ask for a favor.
No, no, we take what we want.
You were in trouble.
So, I don't owe a favor because I never asked for any help.
I never asked for anybody to join me at WarGames,
therefore I never asked for this favor.
So, please tell me how I'm supposed to cover the tab
-for your dumbass favor. -[Michael chuckles]
-You were in trouble. -♪ Burn it down! ♪
-[crowd cheering] -["The Vision" playing]
[crowd chanting "Oh whoa oh"]
♪ Burn it down ♪
[crowd chanting "Oh whoa oh"]
♪ Burn it down ♪
[music fades]
[crowd chanting "Oh whoa oh"]
-Sacramento! -[crowd cheering]
Let's give it up for your Tribal Chief, 'cause after over a decade,
you're finally getting it, man.
You're finally starting to put the pieces together all by yourself.
You're almost there.
You're just missing one little piece, and it's a real shame.
It's too little, it's too late,
'cause I still gotta end you at WrestleMania.
And it's for the same reason it's always been,
because it's the right thing to do.
You see, this Triple Threat match at WrestleMania,
this is the biggest, most important Triple Threat match
in the history of WrestleMania, in the history of this company,
in the history of this industry, because the winner of this match
will define the future of our industry.
-No. It can't be you. -[crowd chanting "OTC"]
It can't be you.
Because if this business is filled with people like you,
people that don't show up except for when it's convenient
and want everybody else to do all the dirty work,
then this business dies!
And it can't be CM Punk either, and you're starting to figure that out.
Because if this business is filled with little CM Punks running around
who wanna pick up their ball and go home when times get tough,
only to come back and leech off the profits of other people's success,
this business dies!
[crowd chanting "CM Punk"]
Oh, yeah.
Y'all want the business to die, do you?
Well, I don't!
Because if this business is filled with people like me
who will sacrifice physical and mental well being
to always do what is best for business…
the business not only lives, but it thrives.
There can be only one, and it's gotta be me.
And as for that… one little piece
that you haven't quite figured out…
Favors don't happen by chance, Roman.
Favors are a choice.
I chose not to put Paul Heyman in the hospital last week.
And now Paul Heyman can choose
whether or not he wants to pay that debt to me.
But your wiseman, he is dishonorable as they come.
He is a scumbag, and I expect nothing from him.
[Michael chuckles]
Paul Heyman is not in CM Punk's corner
at WrestleMania by chance.
Paul Heyman has made a choice.
It's not just a betrayal, Roman.
What you need to ask yourself, the final piece of this puzzle,
he's not just returning a favor…
he's choosing.
And you gotta figure out
why is he choosing CM Punk over you?
Huh.
[inaudible]
Wiseman…
Yes, my Tribal Chief?
He's right.
You made your choice.
And I've made mine.
-[Michael] Oh! -[crowd gasping]
[Michael] Roman Reigns attacking Rollins!
For a moment we thought Seth had talked some sense into Roman Reigns,
but… Roman didn't wanna hear it.
[laughs] I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief!
That was great! You had me--
[crowd gasping]
-["Cult of Personality" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] I don't think Roman believed a damn thing Heyman had to say,
but here comes CM Punk.
Well, if you look at history, he was the first ever Paul Heyman guy,
and now Punk and Reigns going at each other!
Five nights away from the main event at WrestleMania!
[Pat] Paul Heyman in CM Punk's corner at WrestleMania.
-[inaudible] -[crowd chanting "CM Punk"]
[Heyman] He attacks him, he… Please-- But he turns on me…
-You okay? -I don't know! I don't…
[Michael] Uh-oh, uh-oh! Punk turns around into a spear!
And now Reigns unloading on Punk!
The frustrations of the past year boiling over tonight.
[crowd yelling]
[Michael] Oh no. Rollins with a Shield chair!
[Pat] Déjà vu!
[Michael] Eerily reminiscent of the chair to the back
that disintegrated The Shield forever!
And now Rollins with a stomp to CM Punk!
And Rollins with a stomp to Roman Reigns!
[Pat] Rollins on a mission to save professional wrestling in his mind.
[Michael] Unleashing one of the most dangerous Seth Rollins
we've ever seen!
[crowd chanting "Oh whoa oh"] e most dangerous Seth Rollins
