[Michael] And what a weekend it was in Las Vegas,
including the main event of WrestleMania Saturday,
where that man stabbed not one,
but two of his former associates in the back.
And the question is,
is Seth Rollins the new Paul Heyman guy?
Heyman and Rollins here live tonight.
And we have brand new Tag Team Champions!
Becky Lynch returned at WrestleMania

Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez get their rematch tonight.

[inaudible]
[Michael] Mark Nash, the ring announcer, being summoned to the ring.
Alicia Taylor off tonight.
[crowd chanting "Let's go Cena, Cena sucks"]
[inaudible]
[Pat] Looks like a prepared statement here.
My sincerest apologies.
I have been informed
that my announcement has been deemed disrespectful.
[crowd jeering]
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the greatest of all time."
[crowd cheering]
"The never seen 17."
"Gracing Las Vegas with his presence for the final time."
"The last real champion, John Cena!"
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] That was a lot better. The delivery anyway.
[Pat] A lot more information in there as well.
[crowd chanting "Cena"]
[crowd cheering]
Winners write history.
You are not worthy.
You think that on Friday, you can bully me?
And then I step in a ring with gold around my waist
and just because you cheer, I'm supposed to forgive you?
[crowd cheering]
Yeah, yeah, that's not how a functional relationship works.
You sir, is that the way you treat your wife?
No, it's not.
As a parent, is that the way you're gonna treat a kid?
No, it's not.
That's not how a functional relationship works.
Just because you show up in a good mood,
I can still tell you to go straight to hell.
[crowd yelling]
Every damn one of you owes me an apology
and you don't have the courage to do it.
[crowd yelling]
Oh, yeah, great, make the noise.
This is forever been the show
that you hijack, Monday Night Raw, isn't that right?
-[crowd cheering] -[Cena] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're here for all of WrestleMania and this is a sacred ticket
so you can show up and take control, isn't that right?
Wow, you guys have gone soft.
[crowd chanting "We are sorry"]
[Pat] An olive branch from the WWE Universe.
[crowd continues chanting]
For those trying to make that out at home, that chant is "we aren't sorry."
[crowd] No!
Let me just do a quick once over.
[crowd booing]
Yep, that's an arena full of the sorriest lowlifes I've ever seen.
You are sorry. Each and every one of you is sorry.
And here's the best part.
You don't mean anything to me.
[Pat groans]
[crowd chanting "Let's go Cena, Cena sucks"]
I may be an anus, but you are a group of idiots.
For 25 years, you have called me so much worse.
I have taken your best shot and always got back up.
What makes you think you're gonna be the crowd
to crack me right here, right now? Huh?
Huh?
No, go ahead. You mean nothing to me.
Your noise means nothing to me.
[crowd booing]
The only thing that means anything to all of our lives is that.
Thirty-six dates.
I told you at the beginning of the year, 36 dates and I'm gone.
Time passes, guys, time passes so quickly we have no idea.
Let's count down the time you've already lost.
-Netflix debut, Indianapolis, Toronto… -[crowd chanting "What"]
-…London, Brussels, Glasgow, Las Vegas. -[crowd continues chanting]
-Las Vegas. -[crowd] What?
Twenty-seven dates,
not matches, not matches, appearances.
Yeah, yeah.
You say I can't wrestle, I don't have to. I just have to show up and do this.
When that hits zero,
the professional wrestling timeline stops cold.
I am… I am not stupid like you.
I know there will be another Monday Night Raw.
I know you will decide another champion.
But the title held by Bruno San Martino,
the title held by Roman Reigns for over a thousand days,
the title taken from me in Chicago by CM Punk,
the title held by Triple H, The Game, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels,
and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, comes home with me.
I am the last real Undisputed Champion of the WWE.
And getting this was the hard part. The rest is a cakewalk.
All I have to do is keep playing you like the puppets that you are.
The best chance you guys had to save yourselves was Cody Rhodes.
[crowd booing]
You heartless [inaudible].
You boo him on Friday, and then you cheer him on Friday,
and then you boo him on Sunday, and I say his name
and the man that we all put on our shoulders last year
because he finished his story, now disgusts you.
That's what's wrong with this.
[crowd applauding]
And that's why last night, Cody Rhodes was outshined,
outclassed, out wrestled, and flat out destroyed.
[crowd cheering]
It's time for you to take a bold look in the mirror
and here's the truth.
There is no one in the WWE with the strength,
the speed, the wisdom, or the ruthless aggression…
of John Cena.
[crowd cheering]
But unlike you, I have a heart.
And I would like to do something nice for you right now.
Get out your cameras, please. You're gonna wanna remember this moment.
Make sure to get a great picture.
Because the last real champ…
is…
-[Michael] Oh, my God. -…here.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] RKO out of nowhere!
[Pat] Cena wanted a photo, Randy heard some voices in his head!
-[crowd chanting "Randy"] -[inaudible]
[Pat] Can three letters change this Monday Night Raw?
And put it on its head?
[crowd cheering]
["Voices" playing]
[Michael] Well, I guess Randy Orton does not believe
that John Cena is the last real champion.
You know, Pat,
John Cena may have set the record last night
with his 17th world title,
but there is a man not too far behind him!
Randy Orton has held 14 World Championships in his career.
And he just sent a stunning message to Cena tonight!
[Pat] Yes, he certainly did.
"John, you think you're the only OG still walking around here."
"I would like to reintroduce myself."

Man, it was great to see.
And as you know, Randy Orton and John Cena go back decades and decades.
And Randy ain't gonna let somebody say they're gonna ruin wrestling on his watch.
Gonna be interesting to see how this all plays out.
It's been a-- well, breaking news all weekend long.
It really started on the Countdown show for WrestleMania this past Saturday.
Bayley was supposed to team with Lyra Valkyria
for the Women's World Champion Tag Team titles, but Bayley was attacked.
So, you've got about 24 hours to find a new partner.
["Celtic Invasion" playing]
[Michael] Well, Lyra found that partner for WrestleMania Sunday, it was "The Man."
[Pat] Yeah, "The Man" came back around to Las Vegas, Nevada…
to join Lyra Valkyria on The Grandest Stage.
And emotions were high with Becky Lynch coming back.
[Michael] Yeah, and Becky Lynch involved in a matchup
with her arch nemesis, Liv Morgan.
-And Becky would deliver a Manhandle Slam. -[crowd counting]
-[Michael] And Becky and Lyra… -[bell ringing]
…become the brand new Women's Tag Team Champions.
-["Liv Gone Mad" playing] -[crowd cheering]
♪ Watch me ♪
[bell ringing]
[Mark] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it's for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first, representing The Judgment Day,
Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan!
[Pat] Our former Tag Team Champs couldn't get intro'd for a second.
[Michael] Well, ladies and gentlemen, our next matchup…
Liv and Raquel look to become four-time Tag Team Champions.
They take on Becky and Lyra.
Women Tag Team Championship rematch is live on Netflix.
[music fades]
[Pat] The stars are still out here in Las Vegas for WrestleMania weekend.
Gabriel Iglesias, also known as "Fluffy,"
is here after a great performance
-at the Roast of WrestleMania last night. -[Michael] I heard.
And shout out to Rana Daggubati, one of the biggest movie stars in India.
He stars in Rana Naidu, an adaptation of the show Ray Donovan,
now streaming on Netflix. And then--
-[Michael] Hey! -[Pat] Here's the boys
from The Pat McAfee Show, bunch of dogs in the building.
We've had the time of our lives here in Las Vegas.
And, uh, what a weekend it has been.
[Michael] Well, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez,
look to win the tag titles tonight.
NXT stars here tonight as well, Gigi Dolin, Tatum Paxley at ringside.
They will face the winner
of this Women's Tag Team Championship match
tomorrow night here in Las Vegas on NXT.
They won a Fatal 4-Way elimination match
at Stand & Deliver's kickoff show to earn that opportunity.
["Celtic Invasion" playing]
[Mark] And their opponents,
they are the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
The Women's Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria,
and "The Man" Becky Lynch!
[Michael] And by the way, Pat, for the record,
no one has accused Liv or Raquel of attacking Bayley.
Sort of a conspiracy theory that Liv is throwing out there.
But speaking of Bayley, injury update.
She has a partial shoulder dislocation with an anterior labral tear.
Bayley will be out for a bit of time now.
[Pat] Could be a little guilty conscience by The Judgment Day team.
[Michael] Well, they were accused of attacking Jade Cargill, remember?
And it was actually Naomi. Liv Morgan upset, so is Raquel.
They had every excuse in the book, a few moments ago,
for why they lost the tag titles last night.
They weren't ready for Becky, they had a long weekend.
[Pat] To be clear, they came over here and yelled at us and said,
if they didn't lose,
they wouldn't be able to become four-time Tag Team Champs.
So literally, any excuse that they can make,
they are currently making.
And Becky Lynch and Lyra look very comfortable as champions
here on Monday Night Raw.
[Michael] Are you gonna make another excuse, Raquel?
[Michael] Well, nonetheless,
Becky Lynch arriving at WrestleMania Sunday.
[Pat] It was great to see her.
[Michael] We hadn't seen her in almost a year,
ever since Liv Morgan took the championship from her,
thanks to "Dirty" Dom, and then a steel cage match
the following week on Monday Night Raw.
But Becky returned, got some retribution on her arch nemesis, Liv Morgan,
by pinning her to win the tag team titles last night.
[bell ringing]
[Michael] And look at Liv Morgan wasting little time,
going after Becky Lynch, and Liv is ticked off tonight.
[Pat] Liv said she retired Becky Lynch.
Well, Becky Lynch is back and is a champion.
[Michael] And Liv wasted little time going right after "The Man" here.
Liv Morgan, a Crown Jewel Champion, three-time Tag Champion,
two-time World Champion.
And Morgan has come out of the blocks hot in this matchup.
[Pat] Shot out of a cannon, this Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch.
[Michael] And a kick-out at two.
Liv trying to win back the tag titles quickly.
[Pat] And Morgan welcoming Becky back into action here.
Obviously, big WrestleMania,
but now we're on Monday Night Raw, night in, night out.
If you're gonna be the champ, people are coming.
Liv Morgan wants to be back on top.
[Michael] I think Randy Orton does too. What a shocker.
Moments ago, Orton RKO-ing the new champ John Cena.
What a statement.
And Becky now, fighting back, the seven-time World Champion.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Tag made by the Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria,
who now holds two titles…
much like Becky did a number of years ago. And a nice double-team by Lyra and Becky.
[Pat] And Lyra, two Belts, certainly been nothing
short of impressive since she got here.
[Michael] A tremendous relationship
developed over the past few years with Becky and Lyra.
Remember, Lyra beat Becky for the NXT Women's Championship.
And Becky Lynch sort of became a mentor to her.
Showed her the ropes in the early goings here in WWE.
Both, of course, from Ireland.
[Pat] I'll tell you what, these women are getting after it here.
Start this Raw after Mania.
[Michael] And Lyra Valkyria, so quick,
she had a great Intercontinental Championship reign so far,
knocked off Raquel a few weeks ago-- Oh, wow!
That did not turn out the way Raquel wanted.
[Pat] Yeah, I mean, Lyra Valkyria, Tag Team Champion,
taking advantage of Judgment Day.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Lyra and Becky, double-team coming from the champs!
[Pat] Couple baseball slides.
How about a little Irish, baby?
[Michael] Becky weathered the early storm.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] It is the Raw after WrestleMania live on Netflix from Las Vegas, Nevada.
We are sold-out tonight at T-Mobile,
19,262 WWE fans on hand…
jammed to the rafters,
and look at the flexibility of Lyra Valkyria
who catches Raquel in the face with a kick,
and Lyra now, trying to rally and make a tag.
[Pat] Lyra needs an all-commercial break.
She was getting her ass beat by Raquel Rodriguez and Liv.
Need Becky Lynch, "The Man" needs to get her time.
[crowd chanting "Becky"]
[Michael] Raquel trying to prevent Lyra
from making it to her partner, but she does.
Here comes Becky, Liv Morgan legal as well.
And Becky and Liv going at it,
here with the tag team titles up for grabs.
[Pat] Becky Lynch.
[Michael] I mean, she looks great after being off for almost a year.
[Michael] Into the corner.
[Pat] First match back, she becomes a champion.
[Michael] And Raquel inadvertently runs into her own partner,
and Becky gonna make them both pay.
[Pat] In her second match back,
she's handling Judgment Day all by her damn self.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] And now an exploder to Morgan.
-Cover to retain. -One, two--
[Michael] Kick-out at two, near fall on Morgan.
[Pat] Becky Lynch, you know, they talk about ring rust and all that.
Not with Becky Lynch.
And Becky now looking to set up Liv Morgan for a Manhandle Slam.
Liv though, able to roll through, shoulders down, Becky reverses.
Raquel Rodriguez on the apron, runs into a forearm by Becky.
Oh! Caught her, Codebreaker.
[Liv screams]
[Michael] Went for the Oblivion, Becky though able to hang on and counter.
Down goes Morgan,
off the Manhandle Slam, and Raquel just saves the match up.
[Pat] Becky Lynch, Manhandle Slam on Liv Morgan.
If it wasn't for Raquel Rodriguez,
we could have counted to 30 right there.
[Michael] And now Raquel.
[Pat] Legal woman in the match.
[Michael] And Becky creates some space.
[Pat] There's a little jawbreaker from Becky.
[Michael] And Raquel with a big boot.
And we've seen this before off the second rope,
looks for that corkscrew elbow, and Becky Lynch quickly able to counter.
[Pat] Becky Lynch has been sensational.
Dropped in at WrestleMania because Bayley gets injured out of nowhere.
How you doing? Keep it moving.
Comes to Raw after Mania, beats the hell out of Raquel and Liv.
[Michael] And Lyra now, back up on the apron.
Lyra makes the tag, Lyra's legal.
Double-team coming from the tag team champions.
[Pat] Two Irish women about to give a sláinteplex.
[Michael] And Liv Morgan now… Morgan.
Powerbomb to Lynch.
[Pat] What a move by Liv Morgan.
[Michael] And now Lyra Valkyria focusing on Raquel Rodriguez.
But went for the hurricanrana, and Raquel just too strong.
[Pat] Just caught her up there on the top rope.
Now I think it's about to be a long ride for Lyra Valkyria.
[Michael] Lyra in deep, deep trouble. My God, almost put her through the mat.
-Cover by Rodriguez. -[crowd] One, two--
[Michael] Oh, and Lyra kicks at two.
[Pat] It's gotta be that Irish toughness, Cole.
Liv Morgan.
Absolutely beautiful powerbomb.
And then Raquel Rodriguez gives Lyra Valkyria the long way home.
-[crowd chanting] This is awesome. -[Pat] Yes, it is.
[Michael] Our sell-out crowd tonight of over 19,000.
[Pat] So many members of the WWE Universe have flocked
to Las Vegas to make this one of the greatest weekends of all time.
[Michael] And Raquel again looking to overpower
the Intercontinental Champion.
Valkyria looking to out quick Raquel, driving Raquel into the corner.
[Pat] So quick. Quick as a hiccup there with the double.
[Michael] Struggling to make it to the corner after the punishment.
But now Lyra, not sure if this is wise,
trying to lift Raquel Rodriguez up on her shoulders.
Lyra's more comfortable doing that, but Tornado DDT.
Lyra loves to fly. She says it makes her feel alive.
[Pat] Like Lyra calling audibles on the fly,
couldn't pick up Raquel so described.
[Michael] And now, trying to pick her up for her finishing maneuver, the Nightwing.
Lyra's got Raquel up there, can she deliver?
-And she does. -[Pat] Holy hell, Lyra.
[Michael] Incredible.
And Liv Morgan places Raquel's foot on the bottom rope
to save the matchup.
And now Becky takes out Liv with a Bex Plex outside the ring.
[Pat] Looking like a little "Stone Cold" Steve Austin out here from The Man.
[Michael] And now… Went for the Manhandle Slam,
driven into the steel post.
Lyra Valkyria now, flying through the ropes to drop Morgan.
[Pat] Boots to Liv Morgan's face on the outside.
[Michael] And now Lyra gonna climb up top,
trying to put Raquel away and retain the tag titles.
Rodriguez though-- Big boot, cover.
[crowd] One, two--
[Michael] Almost had her. And a kick-out by Lyra.
No! No!
[Pat] This Lyra Valkyria, I have no idea how she continues to survive.
[Michael] What an incredible match,
just about broke the jaw of Valkyria with that boot.
Now a double-team coming.
And-- Oh, Valkyria got the knees up, knees to the spine.
[Pat] This has to be out of desperation from Lyra Valkyria.
[Michael] And Raquel Rodriguez caught up on the top rope.
Valkyria dumps her over the top.
Liv Morgan turns around.
Morgan went for Oblivion, but Lyra held on.
Valkyria with an enzuigiri.
[Pat] Here we go, Lyra's--
[Michael] Already hit Raquel with the Nightwing,
looking to do the same to Liv Morgan. Raquel trying to save her partner.
Becky Lynch involved as well.
Becky driven to the floor.
[Pat] The strength of Raquel on display.
[Michael] Raquel runs right into Lynch.
Turn around, Lyra, turn around.
Morgan. Oblivion.
[Pat] Spiked Lyra!
[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Michael] Four-time champs! -[bell ringing]
["Liv Gone Mad" playing]
[Mark] Here are your winners,
and the new WWE Women's
Tag Team Champions…
[Michael] What a match.
[Mark] …Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan!
[Michael] For the fourth time,
Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan are on top
of the Women's Tag Team division and head to NXT tomorrow night
to defend those titles against Dolin and Paxley.
But what a matchup.
[Pat] Becky Lynch and Lyra
were certainly great champs for about a day.
Liv Morgan handled business, and then it was Oblivion to Lyra,
getting spiked on her dome.
-That led to the fourth time… -[bell ringing]
[Pat] …Liv and Raquel could be called Tag Team Champions.
[Michael] Very disappointed, Becky Lynch, Lyra Valkyria as well.
Not quite the way they wanted the Raw after WrestleMania to go.
[crowd chattering]
[Pat] They were great champions for us, although it was quick.
Two women from Ireland came together and did
something special at WrestleMania.
-[Michael] Oh! -[crowd cheering]
-[Pat] Becky Lynch. -[inaudible]
-[crowd booing] -[speaking indistinctly]
[Michael] What the hell was that all about?
Becky Lynch was Lyra Valkyria's mentor.
Lyra adored her.
And now, Lynch isn't done yet and goes back to attack Valkyria.
[Pat] What the hell is Becky Lynch doing? What did Lyra do?
[Michael] Come on, Chad, get back in there and break this up.
[Pat] There's no reason for that from Becky Lynch.
Come on.
[Michael] Lyra is shocked. I mean, she's in disbelief.
This is a woman who was her hero.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Lyra's defenseless, she just suffered Oblivion
and now the assault by Becky and now a manhandle slam by Lynch.
Becky, what are you doing?
And another one.
[Pat] What the hell is Becky Lynch's problem?
[crowd chanting "One more time"]
[Pat] No more times.
No more times.
[Michael] And now again, Becky, come on.
Another Manhandle Slam by Lynch to a woman who adored her,
who looked up to her as a mentor.
-[Pat] You were her hero, Becky! -[Michael] Patterned her career after her.
[crowd chanting "Becky"]
[Michael] And now Becky Lynch
has let Lyra out in the center of the ring.
I mean, what the hell is Becky Lynch doing?
There's no need for any of that.
Becky just came back and--
-I've had a… -The Man has lost her mind.
I'll tell you, WrestleMania week has been a week of backstabbing.
Oh, I'd say.
All you gotta do is go back and look at what happened at main event
of WrestleMania Saturday.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Pat] The three horses of a generation will battle tonight.
[Michael] In a Triple Threat match for pride and glory.
Paul Heyman is here in Punk's corner.
The question, guys, though, is where does his allegiance really lie?
[intense music playing]
[Michael] No surrender in any of these three great warriors.
[Wade] Broken bodies everywhere you look.
Who can summon something special to grab victory?
[Michael] Punk now going back to Rollins.
Can he hit the GTS? And he does to Rollins. Spear now by Reigns!
Stomped by Seth!
-Everybody is down! -[Pat] What the hell's Paul Heyman doing?
[Michael] Paul, what the hell are you doing?
-[Pat] Where's that chair going, Paul? -[suspenseful music playing]
[Michael] Paul Heyman has turned his back on Roman Reigns!
Oh, no!
You made me choose! He's my Tribal Chief!
I…
I acknowledge you, my Tribal Chief.
[Michael] Paul Heyman has returned to The Original Tribal Chief!
Look! Look!
The Shield! It's gone!
[inaudible]
-[Michael] Oh my God! -[Pat] Paul Heyman, you son of a…
[Rollins] Now, you owe me a favor.
-[crowd counting] -[bell ringing]
[music concludes]
[energetic hip-hop music playing]
[Michael] More on that story later on tonight,
but we've got new tag champs in the men's division as well.
The New Day will be celebrating here as 12-time tag champions.
Yeah, Karrion Kross, he's another one. A lot to discuss with him.

[crowd booing]
We are your new…
WWE
World Tag Team Champions.
[crowd booing]
So, get down on your knees before us.
Raise your hands to the sky
and scream out in unison…
"Thank God
for The New Day!"
[crowd booing]
There is no tag team, alive or dead,
that is better than your boys, The New Day.
[crowd chanting "Sucks"]
You said…
[crowd chanting "New Day sucks"]
You said we couldn't beat The War Raiders.
And we did.
["For The Academy" playing]
[Pat] They certainly did.
They are our champions, but they have company, it does appear.
[Michael] Yeah, they're the hunted now.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Did I just hear you say that The New Day is the greatest tag team ever?
I mean, you might be,
but the last time you faced Otis and Tozawa,
-they beat you in 60 sweet seconds. -Yeah!
Oh yeah! Whoo!
And now here we are at the Raw after WrestleMania
-in Las Vegas, Nevada! -[crowd cheering]
And by the sound of it,
I think we would all love to watch you two put your money where your mouth is
and put those shiny tag team titles on the line right here, right now.
[Kingston] Okay.
-[Woods] Is that what you want, Las Vegas? -[crowd cheering]
-[Pat] Yeah! -No.
-[Dupri] Oh. -Absolutely not.
[crowd jeering]
Hang on a second, are the minutemen scared?
Yeah!
Minutemen, no, no, no, no, no.
-Hey, hey. -[crowd chanting "Minutemen"]
[Pat imitates tune of "One Minute Man"]
♪ No one-minute man ♪
Ain't no minutemen around here.
Y'all wanna do it right now? Let's do it right now.
-Get a ref out here right now! -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] The Minutemen are taking up the challenge.
[Michael] So, Tozawa and Otis going to take on The New Day here tonight.
An official rushing down to the ring,
and it looks like we're going to have a matchup.
-[Pat] Are these for the tag team titles? -[Michael] It appeared that way.
[mysterious music playing]
[Michael] Now what's going to happen tonight?
[Pat speaks indistinctly]
-[thrilling music playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] There were rumors!
[Michael] We knew it was a matter of time!
He's back! Rusev is back!
[roars]
[Michael] And he looks as monstrous as ever.
[Pat] As jacked as ever.
As ready as ever.
[Michael] Look at the intensity in the eyes of Rusev.
[Pat] Listen to the response in this arena.
[Michael] It's been more than five years since we've seen Rusev in WWE.
The New Day hightailed it.
Otis and Tozawa may want to do the same!
And Rusev unloading! On the Alpha Academy!
[crowd cheering]
Hey, you got no titles?
There's no more money for this?
-[crowd chanting "Rusev Day"] -[Michael] That's Tozawa on the top rope…
-from behind Rusev. -[screams]
-[growls] -[Michael] That didn't work out too well.
[Pat] Rusev just caught him with the greatest of ease.
[Michael] And tossing Tozawa out of the ring.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] And now, the big boys are gonna square off.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Michael] Oh! And Rusev with a kick right to the head.
-And another one. -[screams]
-[crowd cheering] -[screams]
Rusev back!
[Michael] And Rusev pounding away on the spine,
-and Pat, the Accolade is back. -[screams]
[Michael] The submission move, Rusev with the Accolade.
Trying to get Otis to pass out here tonight.
-[screams] -Rusev, move. Knock it off!
Rusev, get off. Knock it off! Rusev, get off.
[crowd chanting "Rusev Day"]
[thrilling music playing]
[Pat] The entire company has just been put on notice.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Rusev has returned.
[Michael] And Monday Night Raw is more dangerous than ever.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Four time?
-Four-time, four time! -[laughs] Four-time champion, IC champion.
-[laughs] -Oh yeah.
[group] Cheers!
You know what? This was the greatest weekend of my life.
You know, that deadbeat missing WrestleMania,
and you and me both having gold.
-Are you kidding-- -I know.
[crowd gasping]
-[breathes heavily] -[breathes heavily]
Hey, we said a win for one is a win for all, right?
As long as the IC title's home in the clubhouse,
that's all that matters, right, Finn?
-What happens in Vegas… -[fan] Stays in Vegas!
-…stays in Vegas. -[laughs]
-Congrats. -Thanks, Finn.
I'll be out there with you tonight, champ.
We don't have titles, but it feels like we have titles, right?
Right? [laughs] Oh! Let me go check with the doctor, hold on.
-[Michael] How's Carlito even walking? -["Millions From Now" playing]
[Pat] He's gonna see a doctor, he's still in pain for good reason.
[Michael] Hey, the Fontainebleau, Las Vegas
is the official hotel of WrestleMania 41.
[Pat] That place is gorgeous.
The Fontainebleau Hotel, immaculate in Las Vegas.
[Michael] They checked you out early though.
-[Pat chuckles] Yeah. -["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[Pat] Got a lot of people coming and going, brother.
[crowd cheering]
[Mark] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Women's World Champion,
-Iyo Sky! -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, what a performance…
-[indistinct chatter] -…by Iyo Sky.
Defeating Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair
in a Triple Threat match to retain her championship,
kicking off WrestleMania Sunday
-in Las Vegas. -[crowd chanting "Iyo"]
[Michael] Iyo Sky, an afterthought no more.
Iyo's here, live on Netflix.
[crowd cheering]
[energetic music playing]
[Michael] And it's been quite the week in WrestleMania, Pat.
Two sell-out crowds at Allegiant Stadium.
And of course, tonight, Monday Night Raw.
[Pat] The city of entertainment, Sin City,
has become the wrestling capital of the world,
-and it has been majestic. -["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[Michael] Here's our Women's World Champion, Iyo Sky.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[music fades]
[crowd chanting "Iyo"]
Last night was the best night of my career.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
-I am the over the moon… [chuckles] -[crowd cheering]
…because I beat best there is.
That means I am the best.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[crowd chanting "Yes you are"]
Rhea Ripley tried to forget me.
[crowd clapping, chanting "You deserve it"]
Thank you.
Two of the best, Rhea Ripley tried to forget me.
Bianca Belair tried to forget me,
-but now, all of you, never forget me. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] I'll never forget you, Iyo! It's our champ.
[speaks Japanese]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
Because I am the Genius of the Sky.
I am Iyo Sky,
-and I am the Women's World Champion! -[crowd cheering, applauding]
-["Bury Me" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] The surprises keep on coming.
[Pat] Is that? It is.
[Michael] It is the NXT Women's Champion!
Stephanie Vaquer is here.
She defended her championship…
in a tremendous Fatal 4-Way matchup at NXT Stand & Deliver.
Knocking off Jaida Parker, Giulia…
Kelani Jordan.
[Pat] A Chilean badass who has taken the wrestling world by storm.
[Michael] First woman to ever hold the NXT women's title
and NXT North American women's title at the same time.
[crowd chanting "Let's go, Stephanie"]
Iyo, congratulations. Omedetō. Felicidades.
I'd like to introduce myself.
I am the NXT Women's Champion.
"La Primera" Stephanie Vaquer.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
And I want to come out here…
to show you respect.
[crowd clapping, chanting "La Primera"]
Iyo, you are amazing.
I come here to show you respect.
You're right, you are the best, but…
-[speaks Spanish] -[crowd cheering, applauding]
I want to fight with the best of the best.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
-You want to face me? -[crowd cheering]
-[crowd chanting "Iyo"] -I accept.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
What about right here, right now?
-[Pat yelling] What? -[Michael] Let's go!
[Pearce] Hold on, hold on, hold on, ladies, hold on.
-Just a second, just a second. -[Pat groans]
[Pearce] Just a second.
-[Pat] Pearce! -[crowd booing]
I understand you want the match, I just wanna make sure…
Las Vegas, do you want the match?
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat laughs] Yeah.
What the hell? I want the match too.
Iyo Sky, Stephanie Vaquer, and it starts right now.
[Michael] Oh, what an amazing night this has been on the Raw
after WrestleMania.
[Pat] But Adam Pearce coming through.
[Michael] Official Jessica Carr into the ring to start this thing now.
This is amazing by both these athletes.
Iyo Sky just went through that Triple Threat match
-with Rhea and Bianca last night. -[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
[Michael] Tomorrow night over at the official WrestleMania hotel
-for WWE, the Fontainebleau… -[bell ringing]
…Stephanie Vaquer will defend the NXT Championship
against Roxanne Perez.
But tonight, Vaquer and Iyo Sky for bragging rights on Monday Night Raw.
[Pat] For a dream wrestling matchup
that we could have never fathomed coming into the night.
[Michael] Nice takedown by Vaquer as she starts to control Iyo Sky.
What an incredible night here on Monday Night Raw so far.
[Pat] Absolutely, what a treat here to watch
two of the greats around the entire world.
-[crowd chanting "Iyo Sky," "La Primera"] -[Michael] First time ever,
these two great superstars have ever met one-on-one in the ring.
Nice take down by Vaquer and Iyo Sky counters as well.
[Pat] Iyo Sky representing Japan,
Vaquer representing Chile, right here in Las Vegas
in the entertainment capital of the world. Two champions doing battle.
[Michael] Vaquer cut her teeth in Mexico and in Japan.
In fact, both Iyo and Vaquer, during their careers,
have worked in Japan at World Wonder Ring Stardom,
not at the same time, however.
And now, Iyo, looking for a quick cover and a kick out by Stephanie.
[Pat] Wonderful feeling-out process here between two of the best in the world.
Let's see what we got here.
Stephanie Vaquer.
[Michael] Sends Sky to the corner, who lands on her feet.
Iyo Sky making history last night at WrestleMania,
the first female Japanese superstar to ever win at WrestleMania
when she retained her championship last night.
[crowd member] Let's go, Stephanie!
[Pat] Great win by Iyo Sky last night. Huge night tomorrow night for Steph.
[Michael] Yeah. Stephanie only the second competitor
from Chile to compete in WWE.
-Nice standing switch by Vaquer. -[Sky grunts]
[Michael] Iyo Sky hanging on,
sends Vaquer back toward the middle of the ring.
La Primera.
[Pat] La Primera came out and said
she wants to take on the best in the world.
Iyo Sky said, "You got it."
[Michael] Iyo showing off yet again,
and a drop kick will send Vaquer out to the floor.
-[shouts in Japanese] -[Pat] A bit of a reset here.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Iyo Sky.
[Michael] Iyo Sky now, suicide dive, down goes Vaquer.
[exclaims]
[Michael] Iyo is fired up.
[Pat] Our champion's rolling.
-[crowd chanting "Iyo Sky"] -[Michael] Iyo a two-time World Champion.
Oh, nice move by Vaquer, slides into the ring,
catches Iyo with a kick.
-[Pat] There's a little momentum there… -[Michael] And out.
Stephanie walks into the timekeepers area,
quickly back up on the barricade.
Crossbody to Sky.
Man, what a matchup here.
What a night it's been on Monday Night Raw.
Vaquer in control of the Women's World Champ.
[crowd member] Iyo! Iyo Sky!
[Michael] Stephanie top rope, Iyo Sky gets back to her feet,
causes Stephanie to lose her balance a bit.
What a matchup impromptu tonight,
Women's World Champion, Iyo Sky, and the NXT Women's Champion,
Stephanie Vaquer, who showed up and made the challenge tonight.
[Pat] Stephanie Vaquer has been incredibly impressive.
I have no idea if Iyo Sky knew what she was signing up for here.
It's been an absolute fight.
-And now, Iyo Sky up to the second rope. -[Sky screams]
[Michael] Oh, wow, what a deep arm drag by Sky.
[crowd chanting "Iyo"]
[Pat] Iyo Sky has been thumping Stephanie Vaquer here.
[Michael] Iyo slides through the second rope, blocks the right hand.
[Pat] Another big right from Iyo Sky.
[Michael] Connects with one of her own, Iyo now on top rope.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Sky with a missile dropkick. The Genius of the Sky is rolling.
[Pat] Kick up, flip up, Iyo Sky's going crazy.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] She's asking Vegas if they're with her, they are.
It's time to take a ride on the bullet train.
Stephanie Vaquer, NXT champ, came out asking for this.
-[Michael] Cover by Sky… -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Vaquer able to kick out.
[Pat] Jessika Carr, only a two count there, checking in.
This match pops up out of nowhere in all of our lives, and what a treat…
on the Raw after Mania.
[Michael] Iyo quickly up to the top rope.
-[Pat] Oh, she-- -[Michael] Looking…
Looking for the move that won the match last night, Over the Moonsault.
May have tweaked her knee.
Into the corner. Vaquer said, "Uh-uh."
Interception, oh, goodness! What a dragon screw.
[Pat] Nasty on the knee. Is Iyo Sky gonna be able to walk?
[Michael] And now, Vaquer…
with a little bullet train attack of her own, the meteora into the corner.
-Cover now by Vaquer… -[crowd counting]
…hook of the leg, and a kick-out by Sky.
[Pat] Stephanie Vaquer, nasty on that knee and then leads into a neteora
right to the face of Iyo Sky, almost ends it.
[crowd cheering]
-And hair. -[Pat] Stephanie Vaquer,
incredibly impressive here on Monday Night Raw.
[Michael] She was going for a finisher, the SVD there and Iyo was able to counter.
And now, Iyo Sky roll through, stomp right to the chest of Vaquer.
Cover by Sky for the win,
kick-out.
[Pat] Double-foot sternum stomp by Iyo Sky there.
Had to take the wind out of Vaquer at the very least.
[Michael] And Iyo still being bothered by that knee that she originally tweaked
when she came off the top rope looking for a moonsault,
and then the dragon screw, of course, by Vaquer later on.
[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
[Michael] Indeed it is, it's been an awesome night
in the Raw after Mania.
-Oh, Vaquer. -[Pat] Oh! Big boot from Vaquer.
[Michael] And now, oh, back suplex.
-[crowd cheering] -[Michael] Uh-oh.
Good thing, Booker T's not here, he'd have a heart attack.
[crowd counting]
[Michael] I told you, "Booker T'd have a heart attack."
-That's what happens on NXT. -[crowd cheering]
-[Michael] Cover by Vaquer. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Iyo kicks out, another near fall.
[Pat] I mean, you get your face thrusted through the mat that many times,
I don't know how you'd kick out of anything.
[Michael] Incredible match between two champions here tonight on Raw.
[Pat] I mean, her face was getting dribbled off the mat…
-[crowd chanting "One more time"] -…by Stephanie's hips.
[Michael] Iyo's saying, "No more times, no more times."
-And Iyo, kick right to the midsection. -[Pat] Iyo saying…
[Michael] Sky up over the top, sunset flip.
[Pat] …"No more times."
[Michael] Vaquer got caught by Iyo. Oh! No. Wow, what a move by Stephanie.
-[crowd counting] -[Michael] Cover, Iyo kicks at two.
[Pat] That was filthy.
Hurricanrana pump fake into a cover,
using Iyo Sky's momentum against herself to pin her.
That was absolutely filthy. Uh-uh, back this way.
Art of War, you think one thing, we're going the other direction.
Iyo Sky though. Oh! Backbreaker.
[Michael] Vaquer may be down and out,
-the Women's World Champ into the cover. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Another near fall in this matchup.
[Pat] How much more can these two ladies take?
We're asking this question a lot.
It feels like the toughness level of the roster here at the WWE
has somehow gone up immensely on all parties.
[Michael] Well again, I mentioned, Pat, that Iyo had the triple threat last night.
-Stephanie had a Fatal 4-way Saturday… -[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
…defends the title again, tomorrow night on NXT.
[Pat] Two "This is awesome" chants for one match.
What a Raw after Mania. What a debut here for Vaq--
-Va-- Vaquer -[Michael] Vaquer.
Take elbow by Iyo. Been a long week, Pat.
And now, Stephanie Vaquer meets Iyo on the other side.
[Pat] Massive right from Vaquer.
[Michael] This is wildly Iyo, ducks underneath,
-turns it into a German Suplex. -[Pat] Dumps Steph on her head.
[Michael] And now, Stephanie not going to allow Iyo
to build any momentum with a German suplex of her own.
-This has been insane. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Stand. Ovation for these two women.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] This has been a clinic.
[Pat] I had no idea what was possible here.
[Michael] Nineteen thousand, Pat, two hundred sixty-two. We're sold out.
[crowd chanting "Fight forever"]
[Michael] Fight forever! At T-Mobile.
[crowd chanting "Fight forever"]
[Michael] Again, just an amazing, amazing debut
for Vaquer on Raw, but in WWE in general, in what has been less than a year.
[Pat] Iyo Sky, our champion, taking on the NXT champion here.
Neither of them wanna fight forever there. Both of them wanna finish it.
[Michael] Up high now.
-Iyo almost lost her balance. -[Pat] Oh!
-[Michael] Vaquer, oh, my goodness! -[crowd cheering]
-[Michael] Both women down. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And again, a massive ovation here in Vegas.
Two of the greatest in the world, Pat.
[Pat] Spanish fly through the sky in Sin City.
[crowd chanting "Iyo"]
[Michael] Iyo Sky trying to drag herself to her feet, Stephanie Vaquer as well.
It has been a unbelievably even matchup.
[Pat] It's been an… It's been an absolute classic.
[Michael] Back to their feet, fight continues.
-And who the-- Wait a minute. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Roxanne Perez just blasted Iyo Sky.
[Pat] What the hell is Roxanne Perez doing here?
[Michael] Well, Roxanne's got a match with Vaquer tomorrow night on NXT.
-[crowd jeering] -[inaudible]
[Michael] She just ruined what's been a great match up here tonight.
[crowd yelling]
[Michael] And now, Giulia is here, the former NXT Women's Champion.
Here up…
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] And now, Giulia attacking Sky, Perez attacking Vaquer.
I mean, I guess Perez--
-["Demon In Your Dreams" playing] -[crowd screaming]
[Michael] Yeah, you may wanna think twice about all this.
[Pat] Mami has arrived!
[Michael] Here comes The Eradicator, Rhea Ripley.
Manhandling Perez. And Roxanne-- Oh, what a headbutt.
[Pat] See you Roxanne, thanks for coming.
[Michael] Yeah, Giulia stopped in her tracks by the icy stare of Mami.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Mami's got a little shiner on that left eye.
-[speaks indistinctly] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] This will be an interesting matchup down the road.
[Pat] I'm impressed that Giulia hasn't rolled out of the ring already.
Rhea looks at me like that, I'm gone. Yeah, smart.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Yeah, wait for maybe another time, but it's insane.
Roxanne and Giulia interrupted what was a terrific matchup with Iyo Sky
and Stephanie Vaquer tonight.
[crowd chanting "Mami"]
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Rhea has made eye contact with the thing she loves the most.
[Michael] Yeah, and showing some mutual respect
coming out to the aid of Iyo Sky moments ago, but…
[crowd cheering]
[inaudible]
-["Tokyo Shock" playing] -[Michael] Pat, Rhea made it
pretty clear right there. If you can read lips,
something to the effect of, "I'm coming for that…"
the Women's World Championship.
But for now, Iyo Sky is still on top of the world
-as the Women's World Champ. -[Pat] Great match with Stephanie Vaquer.
-["4X4" playing] -[Michael] Oh, CM Punk must be so angry…
-[crowd cheering] -…after being stabbed in the back
by a man he considered his best friend, Paul Heyman,
when Heyman aligned with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania Saturday.
Punk is here live tonight.
And up next, the celebration of the new World Heavyweight Champion.
It's time to yeet, live on Netflix.

who for the second year in a row at WrestleMania
lost to a massive underdog.
[Mark] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the new World Heavyweight Champion,
"Main Event" Jey Uso!
[Michael] You know, Gunther's gotta be hearing the whispers, Pat,
that he can't win the big one on the big stage.
[Pat] No.
You earned it, Jey.
Gunther got beat by the better man!
[music continues]
[Pat] Yeah, Jey!
[Michael] Over 19,000 sold out tonight,

and has a good time.
[music continues]

Man, WrestleMania.
I gave it all I had to beat Gunther.
[crowd cheering]
And I made him tap.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting "He tapped out!"]
[crowd chanting "He tapped out"]
-[Michael] He tapped out. -[Pat] Yes, he did.
Hey, but I wanna be the first one to let y'all know though, all right?
I'm very grateful, and I'm so happy I finally got this on my shoulder.
So I'mma show up every week, every day,
put the work in like I always have.
And if y'all are excited to have Jey Uso as the World Heavyweight champ,
then damn it, let me hear you say, "Yeet!"
[crowd] Yeet!

I got so much I wanna say, I don't even know where to begin.
I wanna let you know, first of all,
not being here the last… I don't know what it was, eight weeks?
Not being here
while you were going through everything you were going through with Gunther.
I want you to know how hard that was on me, all right?
I really-- I wish I could have been there, and I wasn't.
That was hard on me.
And if I'm being totally honest, missing WrestleMania this year,
that was very hard on me.
All right? You and me, we're not that different, uce.
We're game day players.
You and me, we don't do well on the sidelines,
so that was hard, and if I'm being honest,
I almost didn't come to Las Vegas at all.
[crowd booing]
But I had to.
-[crowd cheering, applauding] -I had to, because I had to make sure
that I was the first one to stand in this ring across from you.
Look you in the eye, man to man, with that championship on your shoulder…
-and tell you how proud I am of you. -[crowd cheering, applauding]
You're my brother. You're my dog. You're my uce.
I love you, I am proud of you, and you deserve that!
-[crowd cheering, applauding] -[Zayn] I know it, you know it,
and every single person in this arena knows that you deserve that!

Three times Grammy-nominated,

to he, and also, shout out to the Las Vegas Aces.
We have a three-time WNBA champ in Chelsea Gray,
and a two-time WNBA champ in Kiah Stokes.
Thank you so much for coming. And how about Chase Briscoe?
Full Speed, streaming May 7th on Netflix,
documenting the life of some NASCAR drivers like Chase Briscoe,
who's running and racing on Netflix on May 7th.
You wanna talk about full speed,
what about what Logan Paul has accomplished at WWE?
He beat AJ Styles at WrestleMania Sunday.
This is what he had to say on social media.
[music concludes]
Logan Paul, congratulations,
another successful WrestleMania under your belt, a win tonight.
Do you think you could have done it without your manager
and without the Karrion Kross distraction?
I'm sorry, what?
What? What are you saying?
Do you think that you could have pulled out the win over AJ--
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
I won, right?
And you're talking about what now?
There were a lot of--
Whatever you're talking about is irrelevant. A win is a win.
As far as I know, I won. So, next question, Cathy Kelley.
-What is next for Logan Paul? -Yeah, whatever I want.
Whatever I want, whoever I want, this company knows I'm the money.
This company knows I'm the best, this company knows I'm the future.
[clears throat] I'll answer any call, I'll wrestle any match,
anytime, anywhere, against anyone they wanna present in front of me.
[clears throat] Everyone that is across the ring from me
in that squared circle becomes a victim, and I'm the best.
I'll win anything and continue my WrestleMania winning streak.
Well, congratulations, and thank you so much.
Thank you, Cathy Kelly.
Yeah, guys, thank you so much.
I'm here with AJ Styles. AJ, first of all, thanks for the time.
I mean, we are less than 24 hours removed from your loss
to Logan Paul at WrestleMania.
Where are you at with what happened last night?
Not gonna lie, Jackie, it's a hard pill to swallow.
But, you know,
Logan Paul plays his games and he gets his little lackeys involved
and maybe I was prepared for that. But the truth is…
I'm taking that L.
But that's okay, I'm gonna move on. I'm gonna be okay.
But that's the thing,
part of being phenomenal is being able to bounce back.
-Do what you-- -[Kross] Hey!
[crowd cheering]
"Bounce back," is that what I heard? There ain't no bouncing back
from getting pinned by Logan Paul, "One, two, three."
You are literally the best of us, which makes it so much more painful,
because now that you've lost to him, you've legitimized him.
Really, really? You just said it, I'm the best of you.
You want me to go back a year ago and be that guy?
I don't know why you wanna see him so bad, because I hated,
hated the person I saw in the mirror, and I'm never going back.
You don't understand, had I taken those brass knucks
and I hit Logan Paul and pinned him in the middle of the ring,
it would have meant nothing.
You wanna be angry at the world? Great, fine. Don't take me down with you.
In fact, go solve that problem yourself.
[breathes heavily]
Maybe I will.
-[chuckles] -["4X4" playing]
Karrion Kross has been a very angry man over the last 24 hours.
Dangerous man as well,
I think anybody would say that knows Karrion Kross.
You know, we talked about this over the weekend, I cannot wait
for the brand new Netflix docu-series. For the first time ever,
step into the WWE writers' room and outside the ring

[inaudible]
I'm not the one--
Hey, come on. Come on, come on, come on.
[Joe] All right, folks, please bear with us here,
it's Joe Tessitore with you,
as this is what just took place moments ago.
And understandably, everybody's trying to gather themselves
as my dear friend and colleague Michael Cole was attacked,
and then Pat McAfee coming in his defense,
and Gunther put him into a sleeper hold, and this was pure chaos
as security was here, and a rear naked choke hold,
and he choked him out,
and it is just an absolute disgusting display,
wholly unacceptable, and Pat McAfee is in the care
of medical attention right now as we're trying
to just get everything settled here at ringside here in Vegas.
-[Pat coughs] -Careful, water down, water down, come on.
-Clear the way! -Bro, why the hell did you do that?
[coughs] He was gonna kill you.
Almost there, almost there. Guys, in here, bring them in.
-You all right? -[Michael] Take care of him.
Get him some water. Make sure he has some water.
-[Michael] Take care of him. -Whoa, whoa, no, no, no.
-What? -Listen, take the rest of the night off.
I sent Tess down there. You've been through a lot.
-You need to be with Pat. -Think he broke my nose.
-He might've broke your damn nose. -Listen, here's the deal, Adam.
How can we do our job if we're not allowed to have opinions?
We're not allowed to talk about this stuff.
We're not allowed to have fun. You gotta do something.
We were gonna deal with this, okay? So I want you to calm down.
I want… Look at me. Take the rest of the night off.
Okay, take it off.
I am not gonna let some bully not allow me to do my job
-on WrestleMania week. -[crowd cheering]
-Good for him. -[Joe] Okay.
[crowd chanting "Michael Cole"]
Joe Tessitore with you here
as you just saw what happened with Pat McAfee.
Michael Cole, I think he's gonna attempt to join me here in a moment.
But Gunther, the recently dethroned World Heavyweight Champion,
as Michael, who… he took an attack himself
and thankfully Pat came to his aid, is somehow gonna, I believe,
come and join me here.
And we're gonna continue on with Monday Night Raw.
And obviously, I don't even know
how Michael can compose himself right now to continue on.
Okay, Michael's gonna settle in here,
he says he's good enough to continue on, although…
All this while we're moments away from the Intercontinental Championship.
-["It Is My Time" playing] -[crowd cheers]
[Michael] You know… Yeah, he broke it.
-[Joe] Are you okay? -[Michael] I think he broke my nose.

[bell rings]
[Mark] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and is for the Intercontinental Championship!
Introducing first, accompanied by Finn Bálor and Carlito,
representing The Judgment Day,
he is the new Intercontinental Champion,
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio!
[Joe] So, as everybody knows, last night, Dirty Dom made history,
winning his first WWE singles title.
That thrilling Fatal 4-Way,
when it appeared The Judgment Day brethren,
Finn Bálor, was in position to claim it.
Instead, a well-timed Frog Splash secured the victory
for Dominik Mysterio, now the Intercontinental Champion.
Had an 0-3 record at WrestleMania prior to that stunning upset.
And wasting no time,
turning right around with a 24-hour turnaround
for his first title defense.
[Michael] I'd love somebody to get us an update on Pat as soon as possible.
[Joe] This is obviously very testing circumstances for us
-as our beloved colleague, Pat McAfee… -["Zero Miedo" playing]
[Joe] …was choked out by Gunther moments ago.
But we are here to serve you, the fan,
document the live event that's in front of us.
So, Joe Tessitore and Michael Cole ringside as we prepare
-for this Intercontinental Championship. -[Michael] Thank you for being here.
-[Joe] Anything for you. -[crowd cheering]
[Mark] And his opponent, from Ecatepec, Mexico,
weighing 87 kilos, Penta!
[Michael] You know, Joe, before… And again, I'm out here to do my job,
I'm not gonna take away from this match, I'm gonna try to add to it.
But I do wanna make one thing clear.
If we cannot do our jobs, if we cannot have an opinion,
if we cannot celebrate Champions on a wonderful weekend like this,
and as commentators, we are subject to an assault.
And that's what that was. That was an assault.
-[Joe] Absolutely, it was. -[Michael] And Pat McAfee,
God bless him, came to my aid, and he ended up paying for it.
Adam Pearce needs to do something about Gunther.
Because if he doesn't,
then Superstars are gonna run roughshod over us
each and every time we say something that may be a bit controversial.
You know what? Maybe I did cross the line a little bit
with a couple of my comments over the past few weeks,
and I apologize for that.
But we're fans, Joe, you understand that. We all get caught up in the moment.
We all get caught up in the emotion.
And there's absolutely no way, we're not trained fighters,
we shouldn't be subject to attacks like that.
-That's all I'm gonna say about it. -[Joe] Yeah.
The actions that happened just moments ago
can never be condoned, never be tolerated.
And I know I echo the general manager, Adam Pearce, in saying that.
And, Michael, thank goodness you're okay.
I don't know how you're down here even composing yourself mentally
-let alone physically-- -[Michael] Because again,
we can't let bullies prevent us from doing our job.
Lebron James isn't attacking Stephen A. Smith
when he makes comments about Lebron.
They'll have a conversation about it but it doesn't get physical,
and that's what happened here tonight.
[Joe] Well, what happened this weekend in Vegas
was the Fatal 4-Way that went Dirty Dom's way,
and now that championship is his, the Intercontinental title.
[Michael] And Joe, I would like to give props to Dominik Mysterio.
And again, I've not been his biggest fan over the years.
I've had a lot of issues with the way that he's treated his dad, Rey Mysterio.
But he proved to the world last night with three of the best in the game
that he could win a major championship, and he did just that.
[Joe] Meanwhile, you were on the call for this Fatal 4-Way.
I thought that the luchador sensation, Penta, looked great.
He was at his offensive best with a varied attack.
He hit the Penta Driver on Finn Bálor, only to have Bron Breakker save the day,
then hit the Mexican Destroyer on Dominik himself.
[Michael] Yes, indeed, and Dominik ended up pinning
his own Judgment Day colleague, Finn Bálor,
who's actually out here in support of Dom,
which I find a little, well, I wasn't expecting it.
[Joe] It was an interesting last night, as Dom's on the early attack here,
as he came to our post-show set in front of thousands of fans
outside Allegiant Stadium, Michael.
And he was not bashful about celebrating the moment.
He said, "I solidified myself."
So, people said, "I'll never be as good as your dad."
He said, "I'm now the greatest Mysterio of all time."
And this is exactly the explosiveness that we're seeing out of Penta.
[Michael] And it's interesting you bring up that quote,
because on the Pat McAfee Show this morning, John Cena was a guest.
John Cena said that he believes
Dominik Mysterio, at the end of his career,
may be better than his father ever was.
[Joe] Wow, that is a massive statement considering the longevity
-of the Hall of Famer. -[Michael coughs]
[Joe] Now, you sit here and you say we got a quick turnaround
for the Intercontinental Championship, you wonder who that favors.
And Michael, I would offer this as Dom looks to go flying,
but instead eats that big kick from Penta.
But perhaps not as much as asked of Dom yesterday
in the Fatal 4-Way… Off the top with the crossbody!
Because early on in that match,
he was teamed up with Finn Bálor for a lot of the work,
while Penta was a target on his own… As he goes flying!
Man, oh, man, 24 hours after crowning a new IC Champ,
could we be doing it again? Penta's got momentum and he's cooking.
Look at him fly!
[Joe] Back here in Vegas for Monday Night Raw
as Penta challenging "Dirty" Dom Mysterio
-for the Intercontinental Championship. -[crowd groans]
[Michael] And looking to rally here,
24 hours after Dom Mysterio won the Fatal 4-Way
-to earn it. -[crowd groans]
[Michael] And now, Penta, keying in on that target,
right into the cover, hook of the leg.
As Finn Bálor looks on, Finn Bálor, of course, was part of that Fatal 4-Way.
Finn Bálor was in prime position to possibly win the title.
But then all of a sudden,
"Dirty" Dom took advantage with a well-timed frog splash.
He was looking for the Penta driver,
but instead the counter by "Dirty" Dom to retain.
And a kick out by Penta.
[Joe] And here are the concern from Michael Cole as unique circumstances
as to why Cole and I are here ringside to call this championship match.
Gunther moments ago came down,
had a vicious exchange with Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
Ended up a rear naked choke hold on Pat McAfee…
As Dominik looks to try to put this away right here.
And a shoulder up. And it was really horrible
and disgusting to see as Pat McAfee…
[Michael] Can you guys get an update on Pat, please, at some point?
[Joe] Which obviously concerns all of us ringside, the health and welfare
and the medical conditions for our beloved colleague.
Michael, you yourself took some damage there,
and I give you credit for coming out here
and serving the fans and joining me on this call.
[Michael] I mean, again, Joe, it's not about me.
It's about all of us as commentators, right?
We're brethren, and you can't let a guy hijack the show
and be a bully like that.
We're an important part of this machine as well.
[Joe] Hurricanrana and look at Penta now, lining it up, he wants it.
He did it a night ago, and there it is, Mexican Destroyer.
[Michael] What a move by Penta, and that could turn things around.
[crowd cheering]
[Joe] Finn Bálor looks out with concern,
and, oh, just when he thought things were in grasp,
Dom rolls out of the ring.
The newly minted Intercontinental Champion.
First singles title in the career of Dom Mysterio.
He points to Finn Bálor, he says,
"Take care of business for me, will you please?"
-[Michael] Well, Penn did-- -[Joe] Oh, man. Oh, man.
Hurricanrana out onto the floor on Finn Bálor, Michael.
[Michael] Absolutely incredible.
Finn was trying-- I don't know if he was trying to encourage Dom
or what the case may be, but it backfired either way.
[Joe] And now, Penta…
-He's gonna climb up top. -[Michael] Aw, look at Carlito.
-Hey! -[Joe] What in the world?
That's JD McDonagh who just pushed him off.
[Michael] We haven't seen him since he bounced
his head off the announce table.
[Joe] He's been out injured for months.
619 by Dom.
JD McDonagh all of a sudden arrives.
Frog splash.
-Dom Mysterio, first title defense. -[crowd counting]
-[bell ringing] [crowd cheering]
[Mark] Here is your winner,
and still Intercontinental Champion,
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio.
[Michael] Tess, you had to believe
that "Dirty" Dom was gonna have something up his sleeve.
[Joe] JD McDonagh from out of nowhere,
the drop kick into the 619.
As Carlito by the way was distracting Eddie Orengo
and Finn Bálor was hesitating, just watching this all unfold and then
the frog splash for victory.
And that is how the championship reign
of "Dirty" Dom looks one day in.
[Michael] And suddenly, Tess, The Judgment Day…
is back in full strength.
[Joe] And look who's here to celebrate, the Tag Team Champions,
Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan, "Dirty" Dom Mysterio.
He retains.
Now, Michael, we'll give you just a moment of applause after all the chaos.
Thanks for coming out here.
Put a sport coat on and join you here.
Again, we are dealing with a very troubling situation.
Our cherished colleague Pat McAfee was attacked by Gunther.
Michael, you yourself, you were able to move on and return here.
to cover the event. And once again,
we are protected in doing our job to serve the fans,
to give you opinions, to give you analysis,
and fully document the event on our terms.
No matter how much that bothers Gunther,
you never lay hands on the announce team.
And right now, the concern is Pat McAfee's welfare.
Trying to get an update on Pat as soon as we can, but hey,
let's get back to business.
Moments ago, one of the most celebrated luchadors
nearly took a title, and meanwhile, WrestleMania this weekend,
a more controversial
and questionable luchador was celebrating a victory.
[epic music playing]
[narrator] Rejoice.
[Americano] Get this Vikingo thrown out of here.
[narrator] Despite insurmountable opposition from his jealous,
desperate, rule-breaking foes…
[Pat] Headbutted him right in the face.

[Joe] Michael, it was two weeks ago tonight that you were right here
when Seth Rollins nearly stomped Paul Heyman's head through the ring.
And then it was two nights ago when they go from that

"How much did you pay Seth to get back involved?"
Never answered. Hope we get some answers tonight.

[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting "Oh whoa oh"]
[crowd chanting] [bleep] you, Heyman.
[crowd booing]

[crowd yelling]
I stole CM Punk's best friend.

[crowd cheering]
I am…
-S-- -[Cult Of Personality" playing]
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Oh, boy.
[Joe] Well, what he is, is a guy getting a visit from his bitter rival.
Jackets off. Well, Paul Heyman can't be happy either.
Consider this man his best friend and they stab him in the back.
That right hand is wrapped for damage, for clobbering time.
[Michael] Punk's here for a fight, Joe. Here they go.
[Michael] Punk, Rollins, 48 hours after the Mania main event.
[both grunt]
[Michael] And Punk taking out all that frustration.
Just beating down Rollins into the corner.
Right hand after right hand and stomp after stomp right onto him.
-[grunts] -[crowd cheering]
-[Michael] CM Punk… -[Joe] Uh-oh.
…now is gonna turn his attention…
-[Joe] Uh-oh. -…to the quote unquote,
"career best friend."
[Joe] You better roll out of that ring, Paul.
[crowd chanting]
[speaks indistinctly] I didn't--
[crowd chanting "You fucked up"]
[yelling indistinctly]
[Punk groans]
[Michael] Well, the distraction by Heyman.
Oh, no.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[crowd chanting "OTC"]
[inaudible]
[Michael] Well, Heyman paid some dividends there,
distracting Punk to allow Rollins to hit the stomp.
[crowd chanting "We want Rollins"]
We are going to conclude
the weekend of WrestleMania 41…
[crowd cheering]
…by propelling the news all the way
to WrestleMania 42.
-[crowd cheering] -There is a new reigning,
defending, undisputed
number one top star
-in this entire industry. -[crowd cheering, applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen,
Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[crowd cheering]
[Joe] He declares him a number one top star.
-["Head Of The Table " playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] But a Tribal Chief is here too.
[Michael] Another man who was betrayed, stabbed in the back.
And, Joe, Roman Reigns is fixing for a fight.
[Joe] Look at Paul Heyman's face.
[crowd cheering]
-[Michael] Here comes Roman. -[song stops]
-[Michael] Spear! -{Joe] Spear!
A massive spear!
And now, Heyman's all alone.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Superman Punch! Oh, my!
-Wise man isn't so wise now, is he? -[Joe] And I don't think Roman's done yet.
Roman's not done yet.
[yelling indistinctly]
[Michael] Oh, no, he's lining up to spear Heyman!
[crowd] Ooh-ahh!
[Michael] Are you kidding me?
Oh, my God! Who the-- That was a human missile intercept.
Bron Breakker!
[crowd cheering]
[pants]
[Michael] Bron Breakker spears part two!
[Breakker yells indistinctly]
[crowd laughing, cheering]
-[Michael] Embraced by Rollins? -My brah! That's my brah!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh, no, Joe, he's not done yet.
-[Joe] He's coming to the outside. -[Michael] Roman's defenseless.
Big uppertime there!
[Joe] Knocking the rival Bron Breakker.
He's revving up the engine…
-[Michael] Oh, Roman. -…he's thinking super spear.
Twenty-three miles an hour, right through timekeeper!
[crowd cheering]
-[yelling indistinctly] -[Joe] The devastating force,
speed, velocity, and the unexpected arrival
of Bron Breakker into the fray.
Drag him in here!
[Michael] Paul Heyman has apparently changed the game again.
[Joe] Listen, if you're playing the chessboard of this industry
for the long term future, Bron Breakker is the piece that you want.
[Michael] And here comes Seth Rollins again with a stomp of CM Punk.
[Joe] So, Roman has taken multiple spears, and Punk has taken multiple stomps.
And just when you thought you knew how Paul Heyman was playing,
that chessboard perhaps is three moves ahead.
This business, it runs through me!
[crowd chanting "One more time"]
["The Vision" playing]
[Michael] Forty-eight hours after shocking the world
by forging an alliance with Seth Rollins,
has the Wise Man solidified Bron Breakker
as the next Paul Heyman guy?
