[Michael] Twenty-five years ago, WWE's flagship show
was held in the city of Greenville, South Carolina
for the very first time.
Tonight marks the 16th time Monday Night Raw has come to this city.
And we begin by revisiting the smoldering issue
between Seth Rollins's group and Punk, Sami, and Jey.
♪ Can you run? Can you come? ♪
♪ Girl, the sun, Find the moon, find some fun ♪
[tense music playing]
[Rollins] This is the vision for the future.
And you are either with us or you become a target.
Punk, you so desperately wanna die a martyr.
-I believe that can be arranged. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And the fight is on.
-But Punk's gonna fight back. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Meanwhile, Sami Zayn's out here to back up for Punk.
And Breakker, two on one situation again.
[music concludes]
[Michael] And the world champ is here, Jey Uso!
And Breakker back into the fray.
Rollins and company scrambling.
[Jey] We gonna silence this noise.
-This is my place. I run this place. -[crowd cheering]
-"Main Event" Jey Uso is now in your city. -[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
[Michael] Jey Uso, he's on a different level.
[Breakker] You wanna do it on your own, Jey?
Well, you're gonna take this ass-kicking on your own, too.
[Michael] The Unpredictable Badass!
Breakker, has become the powerhouse for Rollins and company.
[Jey] So let's stand on business tonight, uce.
[Breakker] It's a fight that you're looking for.
-[Jey] Four letters, one word. Uh-uh. -[crowd] Yeet!
[Breakker] I will gladly kick all your asses.
[Michael] Live from Greenville, the champ Jey Uso versus Bron Breakker.
[music concludes]
-["4X4" playing] -[Michael] And the unpredictable badass,
-Bron Breakker is here. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Flanked, of course, by Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman.
Breakker's job tonight is to decimate the World Heavyweight Champion.
-This man, "Main Event" Jey Uso. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] He's the world champ.
Uso seeking revenge following a backstage attack last week.
He meets Breakker tonight on Monday Night Raw.
The multi-time WWE champion AJ Styles is here. The Phenomenal One
with a phenomenal tag team partner tonight.
-The man who has taken WWE by storm… -[crowd cheering]
…a magical Penta.
AJ and Penta have a score to settle with The Judgment Day tonight.

[Pat] What a way to kick things off here in South Carolina.
♪ How can I be so good lookin' And still humble? ♪
[Alicia] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Logan Paul!
[Michael] Pat, Logan Paul finds himself as the number one contender
to Jey Uso's World Heavyweight Championship.
And you and I will be at ringside this coming Saturday night
for an edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.
Pat, can Logan Paul win his first world title
at Saturday Night's Main Event?
[Pat] Logan Paul has the capabilities to accomplish anything
seemingly in any field.
-Look what is in his hand right now. -They want Prime.
Yeah, exactly.
Prime has taken over the world just because he wanted it to happen.
He has ended apps alongside his brother. Rest in peace to Vine.
He has created businesses upon businesses,
and he's come to the WWE and adapted like a fish to water.
Anything is possible with Logan Paul.
[Michael] That smells pretty good.
[Pat] Sournova Prime hydration drink, it is. It says.
-Hey, yo! -[crowd booing]
-Welcome to Monday Night Raw. -[crowd booing]
Listen here, Greenville.
It is a fact that I will beat Jey Uso this Saturday.
[crowd booing]
And when I return to this ring next Monday on Raw,
Logan Paul will be your new World Heavyweight Champion.
[crowd booing]
Oh, what's wrong?
What's wrong, Greenville, you don't like facts?
Huh! Hey, perfect, I got a lot more for you, check this out.
Fact, Jey Uso is the current World Heavyweight Champion.
-[crowd booing] -[Pat] That is fact.
Fact, Jey Uso tapped out Gunther at WrestleMania.
-[crowd] Yeet! -Nah, nah, nah, no yeet. [chuckles]
-[crowd] Yeet! -Nah, no yeet.
-[crowd] Yeet! -No yeet.
-[crowd] Yeet! -I said no yeet!
-[crowd] Yeet! -Okay, fine, yeah, fine, yeet.
Four letters, one word, all y'all got two brain cells, shut up.
[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
-[Michael] Wow. -[Paul] No yeet, fact.
[Pat] Yeetville, South Carolina.
Logan Paul won a singles title, 12 years faster than Jey Uso, fact.
Jey Uso cannot handle the weight of being a world champion, fact.
Jey Uso has eyes on everyone in this company except Logan Paul, fact.
And the biggest fact of them all, and my favorite,
I have knocked out Jey Uso three times.
Three times, I have left Jey Uso unconscious, flatlined,
face first on the floor.
And guess what? Ooh, ooh, ooh, man, sorry, Greenville.
-I'm gonna do it again this Saturday. -[crowd booing]
And when I do,
Logan Paul will become your new World Cham--
-["Prepare To Fight" playing] -[Pat chuckles]
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] I believe a lot of Logan Paul's opinions
he was stating as facts there, but obviously very confident.
[Michael] Well, if Logan Paul does become the World Champion,
then his first title defense would be against this man.
Gunther telling the world last week that he will face the winner
of Jey Uso and Logan Paul
on what will be a massive Monday Night Raw in Phoenix, Arizona.
[Pat] What a presence.
Back in the World Champion conversation
is exactly where Gunther wants to be.
[Michael] Well, 80% of his time in WWE he's been a champion.
Admits he does not like the fact
that he is no longer carrying gold to the ring.
-[song concludes] -[crowd booing]
[crowd chanting "You tapped out"]
[Michael] Indeed Gunther did tap out to Jey Uso at WrestleMania
to lose his World Championship.
You seem very confident that you can beat the guy that has beaten me
for my World Heavyweight Championship.
So, I need to assume,
that you're standing out here believing that you're better than me.
[crowd gasping]
That's very confident. And I think that's good.
Confidence, as we both know, is what drives us in life.
It's what got us here, right?
And to be quite honest,
and if everybody here is honest for one second,
Those people should show you way more respect than they do.
[crowd booing]
I mean, come on guys, you might be a little bit jealous
because this is a self-made social media megastar.
[crowd booing]
With his own hands, he built a digital empire.
If I'm honest, there's things I can learn from you.
Yeah. Yeah, there is, Gunther. Hey, Gunther's right,
The Ring General knows business. Hey, it's just business, guys…
-Hey. -…and I'm good for it.
Who knew Gunther was so smart, okay? Whenever you want, bro, talk to me.
I'm in the locker room.
-No, I'm not, I got a green room but-- -No, I'm not done, I'm not done.
I think there's things you can teach me.
So, social media obviously, mine could need a little bit help.
And just in general, your entrepreneurship,
your understanding of marketing.
If I think about it more, imagine the headlines,
"YouTuber becomes World Heavyweight Champion," right?
Logan Paul as World Heavyweight Champion would be great for business.
[crowd booing]
Who knew? Gunther, "The Ring General," knows business,
he got a suit and everything.
He's basically in the Logang, this is crazy.
Hey, respect, Gunther. This guy knows business, I love it.
Business, that's what it is to you, right?
Understand one thing, to you, it's business,
but to me, all of that here is very personal.
Beating Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship
is very personal to me.
So, if you take that away from me,
I will take that as feeling personal, disrespected.
So, maybe ask Pat how I deal
with getting disrespected by non-wrestlers.
-Whoa, whoa. Still bruised, brother. -That guy at least showed some heart.
But when I look into your eyes, I don't see no heart.
If you beat Jey Uso, and if you square off with me on June 9th, in Phoenix,
all your other accolades do not mean anything.
Because we will square off, that bell will ring,
and I'm gonna eat you alive.
-[mic thuds] -[crowd cheering]
[inaudible]
Where you doing? What are you doing?
[Pat] That's a scary statement coming from that man.
-[Michael] Well, you know all about it. -[Logan] What were you saying?
What were you saying, Gunther? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, maybe you heard them.
What, are you walking away from Logan Paul?
-Yo, fam, I wasn't done talking to you. -[crowd cheering]
Of course you're walking away. Yeah, big scaredy cat.
Yeah, of course you're walking away. Okay. Okay.
[crowd] Yeet!
[Michael] "Main Event" Jey Uso,
the world champion with a superkick to his opponent this Saturday night.
[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
Fact, I'mma see you on Saturday.
[crowd cheering]
And Gunther, I'mma see you in Phoenix.
-Four letters, one word. Uh-uh! -[crowd] Yeet!
-["Main Event Ish" playing] -[Michael] Well, it could be a busy
few weeks for the current World Heavyweight Champion.
Jey Uso faces Logan Paul Saturday night on Saturday Night's Main Event.
We take you back to last week in our main event here
on Monday Night Raw.
Tremendous tag team action as Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky
teamed up against Giulia and Roxanne Perez.
Turning point of the matchup was here.
This apparently was inadvertent, of course, as you saw Rhea get involved
and Roxanne took out her partner, Giulia.
And it allowed Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky to take over control of this match,
-and man, they worked well as a team. -[Pat] They certainly did,
-and it was a main event. -[crowd counting]
-[bell ringing] -[Pat] And that, "This is awesome" chant
at the end was warranted.
What a fight, as Rhea and Iyo stand together and tall.
[Michael] And then backstage, Roxanne and Giulia had an issue.
We need to re-focus, we need to ask for a rematch.
We need to talk to Adam Pearce, and then we need to--
Hey, hey. Hey! there is no "we."
Allow me to be the first to welcome you officially full time
-to Monday Night Raw. -Thank you.
[crowd cheering]
This is gonna be the first day in many successful ones, I hope.
[Michael] Congratulations to Roxanne Perez.
Roxanne Perez will be in action tonight.
Triple Threat match to qualify for the Money in the Bank
contract ladder match in a couple of weeks.
It's Roxanne, Becky, and Natalya tonight.
Another women's qualifying match for Money in the Bank
-will take place later on tonight. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Rhea Ripley in action against the returning Kairi Sane
and Zoey Stark.
One note on the Roxanne signing, of course, with Monday Night Raw.
We learned Friday on SmackDown, Pat, that Giulia has signed with the blue brand
-over on Friday Night. -[Pat] Congrats to both of them.
The Prodigy coming to Monday Night Raw is great for us.
-["Zero Miedo" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] And SmackDown with Giulia.
♪ Cero miedo ♪
[crowd cheering]
-[bell ringing] -[Alicia] The following contest
is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Ecatepec, Mexico,
weighing in at 87 kilos, Penta!
-[Michael] This man is on fuego. -[Pat] Sí.
[Michael] Penta has taken over WWE and the fans are loving it.
And tonight, teams with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
to look to settle some scores with Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh.
-It's tag team action live on Netflix. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Phenomenal Penta versus The Judgment Day.
[Michael] I like that.
-["4X4" playing] -[crowd cheering, applauding]
-[song fades] -[crowd booing]
Now, that was interesting. You know…
Logan Paul wants to talk about facts.
Let me give you some facts rooted in wisdom.
Everybody says I betrayed Roman Reigns. Everybody says I betrayed CM Punk.
But to betray somebody, you have to stab them in the back.
You have to do something untoward that they don't see coming.
So, I wanna tell you this straight to your face.
So, I can't be accused
of betraying the world champion "Main Event" Jey Uso.
Tonight, you are gonna fight Bron Breakker.
Fact. Fact, the title's not on the line.
Fact, I would very rarely negotiate a match like that.
Fact, I did negotiate that.
Fact, Bron Breakker is not looking for your title.
Fact, Bron Breakker is looking to slow down your momentum.
You're that great of a champion.
Fact, whether it's you, or Logan Paul, or Gunther…
you're all short term.
The long term plan for the World Heavyweight Championship,
fact, is Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
[crowd clamoring]
I'll go this way.
Avoid the coffee.
-[upbeat music playing] -[Pat] A lot of facts tonight.
[Michael] Yeah, avoid the coffee. That is a fact.
Nonetheless, it is our main event later on tonight.
The title's not on the line,
and it's about hurting someone for Bron Breakker.
Breakker's got his marching orders. He takes on Jey Uso live later on tonight.
Set for tag team action in the ring. Penta, AJ Styles against The Judgment Day.
Let's show you what happened last week when the latest chapter was written
in this historic rivalry. It was Penta versus Gable.
Mentioned earlier that El Grande Americano had cost Penta
the Intercontinental Championship at Backlash.
But Penta would deliver that Mexican Destroyer
to Chad Gable to pick up the win.
El Grande Americano was apparently out of the country.
[Pat] Yeah, he was on a media tour, a massive media tour.
Obviously, everybody wants a piece of the El Grande Americano business.
[Michael] Well, later on in the night, AJ Styles
one-on-one with Finn Bálor.
Of course, Judgment Day would get involved.
And then, bit of an ally from out of nowhere for AJ Styles.
Penta gets involved, and it allows Mr. Styles
to hit the Phenomenal Forearm
and go on and pick up the victory over Bálor of Judgment Day.
-[bell ringing] -["Phenomenal" playing]
[Pat] Both these men are okay with fighting Judgment Day,
and for us, we get a dream tag team matchup.
[Michael] JD McDonagh, AJ Styles will start things off in this matchup.
The official, big Mets fan, Eddie Orengo.
And here we go, we're underway with tag team action.
[Pat] Unlike Juan Soto, these boys show up every single night.
[Michael] Nice, and backed into the corner now is Styles.
-[crowd chanting "AJ Styles"] -[Michael] AJ Styles start-- Chants begin.
[Pat] Obviously a Georgia boy.
[Michael] What's interesting to me, Pat, is Carlito is at ringside.
But once again…
Dominik Mysterio, the Intercontinental Champion,
is not out here for the second straight week
for a Judgment Day match, we know Dom's here.
We saw him arrive earlier on today.
[Pat] Yeah, we tried to ask the Judgment Day
where the hell he was last week, they wouldn't give us an answer.
-[Michael] Did you try again this week? -[Pat] Uh, they wouldn't talk to me.
-So-- -[Michael] Oh! Big back body drop.
It almost seems like, and some of the whispers
in the locker room are that Dominik's getting a bit too big
for his britches ever since winning the Intercontinental title.
[Pat] Well, he's out over his skis. He thinks he's arrived.
He thinks he's the guy, and maybe the rest of Judgment Day don't think so, pal.
Owen Hart, shades of.
[Michael] So, he doesn't have to do the dirty work anymore, perhaps.
[Pat] JD McDonagh is great in the ring.
And we know he's the man with the iron lung.
[Michael] Yes, indeed.
That's because he-- Had a collapsed lung when he crashed
into our announce table back in December, out of action for a number of months,
only to return, he finished that match, by the way.
And went for a drop kick, and McDonagh hangs on.
[Pat] Yeah, he accomplished the impossible.
[Michael] Oh! And AJ Styles, bit of showboating by McDonagh, cost him.
[Pat] JD McDonagh is very confident in his abilities,
as he should be, but that cost him there,
as we get the Penta experience live in South Carolina.
[Michael] And here's Penta, a man who knocked off Gable.
And also earlier this month,
the man he's in the ring with right now, JD McDonagh.
Interesting that Finn Bálor, yet to get into this matchup,
is the man who is the first Superstar to pin or submit Penta here in WWE.
Oh, nice backbreaker!
[Pat] Yeah, Penta's been damn near perfect.
Obviously, just that one blemish, and there's good reason.
He walks it like he talks it. He's so good.
[Michael] And both of Judgment Day ducked outside the ring.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Penta and AJ working great together here tonight.
[Pat] Absolutely.
[Michael] Up over the top and down goes Judgment Day.
-[crowd cheering, applauding] -[shouts indistinctly]
[Michael] Incredible action.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Greenville, South Carolina in the corner of Penta
trying to rally him in this matchup. Been a great tag match so far.
We'll show you what Carlito did during the break.
[Pat] Yeah, Judgment Day is always gonna utilize the numbers advantage.
They feel like it's a sound smart strategy
and Carlito delivers a left hook to Penta's face.
Completely flipped the match around. Now, JD is in complete control.
[Michael] And McDonagh with a snapmare of his own
and tag made to Finn Bálor,
the former Universal Champion up over the top.
[Pat] It's great tag team wrestling here.
Beating down Penta,
keeping him isolated away from AJ Styles.
[Michael] And we talk a lot about McDonagh,
make fun of the size of his head
and all that, but he's a heck of an athlete.
[Pat] That's not making fun, that is a weapon he has
-that is bigger than everybody else's. -[Michael] True.
[Pat] Now, he could argue that it's also a bigger brain
than everybody else.
I'll tell you what, the thickness of South Carolina
cannot be understated here. It is a humid town.
It is hot down here. It is thick as some grits.
So, whenever these guys are battling,
they're gonna showcase who's really in it tonight.
[Michael] Tag made, here comes Bálor.
McDonagh and Bálor doing a great job isolating Penta.
And now Bálor trying to rip the mask off of Penta.
He understands what he's doing, the mind games,
the psychology, the tradition of the lucha mask,
what it means to the competitor.
Bálor knows exactly what he's doing.
[Pat] Yeah, trying to get under his skin, under his mask, whatever he can do.
-[Michael] And now McDonagh… -[Pat grunting]
[Michael] Oh, Penta able to turn it around
and create some space off that cross body.
[Pat] Perfect usage of momentum, if you're able to do that,
-you definitely want to. -[Michael] Tag, Bálor.
[Pat] Had that against Gunther, almost won, Penta.
[Michael] And Bálor, again, doing a great job
not allowing Penta to make the tag.
[Pat] Judgment Day, peanut butter and jelly right now.
[Michael] Bálor staring down the man who's got a lot of history with AJ Styles.
Styles, the man who usurped Bálor as the leader of the Bullet Club in Japan.
Talked a lot about that in their big matchup last week.
Oh, yeah!
[Pat] Finn's not scared to ask if you're not impressed, too.
-One percent body fat on this man. -[Michael] It's incredible.
And now Bálor,
dropping Penta on the back of his head off that suplex,
and a kick-out again at two.
And Bálor's made a lot about the fact that he's, quote,
"Cleaning up the messes of Dominik Mysterio
over the past few weeks."
Which, again, I go back to what we mentioned before.
I'm surprised that Dom isn't out here showing his support for this team.
[Pat] Yeah, him and Carlito kinda OGs in the clubhouse of The Judgment Day,
and Dominik Mysterio maybe not showcasing the respect
that they would like or deserve in their house.
[Michael] Well, Dom may be upset that his girlfriend hasn't been here
for a few weeks. She's… Liv Morgan off in Japan, shooting a movie.
[Pat] Congrats to her, and congrats to Greenville, I think.
Penta gets a tag.
[Michael] Here comes Styles, and the place explodes.
As one of the great ones, AJ Styles goes to work.
-Best shape of his career in my mind. -[Pat] Absolutely.
[Michael] Oh, rake of the eye now by Bálor.
Great move.
Allowing the ref not to see that.
And now AJ looking for the Calf Crusher.
Submission move, center of the ring.
Styles with a Calf Crusher applied.
McDonagh takes out Bálor.
That was shades of Dom taking out Bálor
in the Fatal 4-Way to win the Intercontinental title.
Face first.
-Cover by Styles. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Almost had him in a near fall. What a match up here to kick off Raw.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] First, McDonagh with a Frog Splash
intended for Styles, it backfired, and then AJ almost put McDonagh away.
Capacity crowd here tonight in Greenville…
enjoying this matchup.
Four of the top players in the game today.
[crowd chanting "AJ Styles"]
[Pat] The industry has been blessed with tonight's tag team matchup.
[Michael] Styles caught him.
Moonsault by AJ, turns it into a big inverted DDT.
[Pat] Tries to hit a moonsault, lands on his feet, inverted DDT.
This place is going crazy for good reason.
AJ Styles putting on a clinic.
Oh no.
[Michael] Oh, look at Carlito now driving Styles into the post.
McDonagh drew the official. This is ridiculous.
[Michael] And here we are in Greenville, the tag team matchup continues.
AJ Styles and Penta against Judgment Day.
[Pat] This has been…
absolutely awesome.
Carlito taking advantage of the numbers game, not awesome.
"The Phenomenal One" has been attacked.
Needs a tag bad at this stage.
[Michael] And both man down, center of the ring.
AJ!
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Greenville hoping that AJ Styles can get to Penta.
[Michael] AJ trying to drag himself to the corner.
Finn Bálor would love to make a tag as well.
Tag, McDonagh. Tag, Penta.
[Pat] Oh, JD stumbles a little bit.
[Michael] Yeah, that may have cost him, cross body by Penta.
That momentum was stopped by that slip up.
[Pat] The humidity in here is crazy.
[Michael] You're gonna see a lot of that tonight, especially on the ropes.
Rana delivered by Penta.
And Penta's such a joy to watch, isn't he?
[Pat] Yes, he is.
He takes advantage of every single square inch--
[Michael] Oh!
McDonagh into a headstand on the top turnbuckle,
and he paid for it.
[Pat] Trying to beat Penta, and Penta says, "That's my game."
[Michael] And Bálor's gonna pay.
That is…
[Pat] Complete control.
[Michael] Yeah, calm, cool, and collected.
Wow! Spanish Fly.
[Pat] Holy…
[Michael] Incredible. Both men are down.
[Pat] Penta was feeling it, vibing, then out of nowhere,
JD McDonagh standing Spanish Fly.
[Michael] Yeah, McDonagh is so underrated, I believe.
[Pat] Once again, the slickness out here.
This humidity is insane.
[Michael] Yeah, Bálor now, top rope, Coup de Grâce.
Penta able to move out of harm's way.
Penta with a kick to the midsection.
[Pat] And a punt to the head.
[Michael] Step up enzuigiri catches Bálor.
[Pat] Oh, he's looking to do The Sacrifice.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting "Cero miedo"]
[Michael] Sacrifice to Bálor.
[Pat] I don't know how people survive after they get their shoulder.
[Michael] And now Bálor goes through,
Penta's shoulders are down for the win here.
Kick-out at two, near fall.
Bálor, Sling Blade.
[Pat] Geez, what a fight here at Monday Night Raw.
[Michael] Yeah, tremendous tag team matchup kicking off
Monday Night Raw tonight.
Penta delivers a big kick to Bálor.
And now, on the other side of the ring, JD McDonagh trying to bring a chair in,
and it allows Carlito to take advantage.
-Again, just brilliant by Judgment Day. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] And continue to execute the numbers play.
[Michael] AJ Styles makes Carlito pay.
JD McDonagh with a suicide dive.
[Pat] Taking out AJ Styles.
Now, Penta's taking to the sky. Oh my God.
[Michael] Mexican Destroyer off the steps.
No! El Grande Americano with a headbutt.
You know he's got a metal plate behind that mask,
and he delivered a headbutt with a metal plate
to the back of the head of Penta. The official never saw it.
Bálor did, however. Bálor's looking to take advantage.
[Pat] We do not know if there was a metal thing in that mask.
[Michael] Oh, we do know, we do know.
[Pat] But we do know El Grande Americano's back from the media tour.
[Michael] Coup de Grâce.
-Cover by Bálor. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] And El Grande Americano screws Penta again.
["Rulers Of The World" playing]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, The Judgment Day!
[Michael] Chad Gable playing these mind games over and over again.
And now with a silly mask on that's loaded with this piece of metal,
cost Penta the match again.
[Pat] We're talking a lot of facts tonight.
You're saying a lot of opinions.
We don't know if there was metal in that mask,
and that mask was being worn--
[Michael] We saw him adjust the mask, Pat.
[Pat] That was El Grande Americano, not Chad Gable.
Penta hits a Mexican Destroyer on JD McDonagh on the outside.
Penta thought he had it. Grande Americano comes back.
[Michael] Watch, watch, he's adjusting the mask.
He had a darn metal plate in there. You know it as well as I do.
[Pat] Now, he might have said, "My forehead."
But in Spanish, 'cause he's El Grande Americano…
[Michael] I'm sure that's what he said, "My forehead."
…not Chad Gable, and it was four-on-two.
And inevitably, Judgment Day gets the win over AJ Styles and Penta
after a phenomenal match.
[Michael] Once again, El Grande Americano cost Penta a matchup.
[Pat] Judgment Day doesn't care,
they're celebrating like they did it themselves.
[Michael] Now standing by is Cathy Kelley.
Yeah, thanks so much, Cole.
I am here with Women's World Champion, Iyo Sky.
And, Iyo, congratulations on your victory last week.
As a former Money in the Bank winner,
wanted to ask your thoughts on this upcoming match.
I know you have a lot of experience there, but now you're on the other side of it.
So how are you feeling with the winner potentially targeting you?
I know what it takes to win Money in the Bank.
But whoever wins,
I'm ready for anyone because I am the Genius of--
Oh, are you now?

World Heavyweight Championship shot for you.
Jey Uso is gonna get hurt tonight.
Stuck his nose in my business
where it didn't belong and he's gonna pay for it.
And whether he walks out of Greenville, he's wheeled out of here on a stretcher.
Come Saturday,

and if you can get past Gunther…
I'll be waiting on the other side for you.
And you will know who to thank…
if you've got that World Heavyweight Championship
on your shoulder.
Maybe…
we run it back from WrestleMania a couple years ago.
Except this time…
World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
Think about it.
[Michael] Pat, interesting proposition from Seth Rollins there.
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Pat] A lot on the mind of Logan Paul.
He's got a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity.
A lot of people have ideas.
[Michael] A lot on the line of Raw's newest signee,
Roxanne Perez, now part of the Monday Night Raw roster
against Becky Lynch and Natalya, Triple Threat match.
First woman to gain pinfall or submission will win and advance
to the Money in the Bank contract ladder match
two weeks from Saturday.
[Pat] Yeah, two Hall of Famers and Roxanne Perez
who just signed with Raw.
[crowd chanting "Let's go Roxy"]
[Michael] Becky Lynch perhaps trying to coax Roxanne Perez
into working as a team to eliminate Natalya early on,
and that's why you don't trust Becky Lynch.
[Pat] Well, I think it's just the veteran experience
-is gonna be on-- -[Michael] Roll up by Natalya,
Roxanne kicks out at two.
Now, you notice the briefcase is hanging above the ring.
In this ladder match, inside the briefcase will be a contract,
and if you take the briefcase down and win that matchup,
you can cash in for a world title opportunity
anytime you want. Oh!
[Pat] You're actually in complete control of the entire WWE basically.
You hold it over the head of the world champion at all times.
-Any world champion. -[groans]
[Michael] And as Tiffany Stratton can attest,
it can change your career.
One hundred percent of the time when it comes to the women's division,
a cash-in has been successful to crown a new Women's World Champion.
[Pat] And what does that mean?
Women's World Champion, that means you're on the marquee.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Pat] That means you're doing everything that you set out to do
whenever you dreamed of this profession.
[Michael] And Becky Lynch now, went for the manhandle slam,
Roxanne able to turn it around. And Roxanne Perez now,
what a great cover by Roxanne, kick-out by Becky Lynch.
And Becky looking for a Dis-arm-her early on here to try to tap Roxanne Perez
who turns it into a combination momentarily.
And now looking for a-- Maybe a crossface perhaps,
trying to drag Becky back toward the center of the ring.
[Pat] I was trying to figure out how I thought this match would go.
So much talent in the ring.
[Michael] And Becky again going for the Dis-arm-her,
-trying to lock it in on Roxanne. -[Pat] Roxanne threw her.
[Michael] Yeah, non-stop action in this Triple Threat match.
[Pat] Absolutely, 100 miles an hour right now
as Roxanne and Becky Lynch are wrestling in Greenville.
[Michael] And now-- Oh! Natalya, basement drop kick, breaking things up.
Already on SmackDown, Alexa Bliss became the first woman to qualify
for the six spots in this match, three from Raw, three from SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa, well, he qualified on the men's side.
Our men's qualifying matches will start next week.
We got another women's qualifying match later on tonight.
[Pat] And you're talking about picture perfect suplexes
-here from Natalya. -[Michael] Cover and a kick-out.
[Pat] And as you're looking at this match, you think to yourself,
"Well, Roxanne, she's The Prodigy."
"This is a match that she would normally win."
And then it's like, The Man, Becky Lynch, would normally win this match as well.
And Natalya, if you follow along on social media, trains every day.
[Michael] And Natalya is incredible. And look at this now,
trying to get Becky Lynch to perhaps tap out here.
[Pat] She could definitely be a World Champion.
Three world champions fighting for one spot in Money in the Bank.
[Michael] And continuing to punish and torture Becky Lynch here.
[Pat] And Natalya will be able to transition
into something else if Becky Lynch isn't able to break.
[Michael] We talked about this earlier, Pat.
A lot of people in the locker room
are saying that Becky Lynch has had this facade for years.
And wait a minute, Natalya looking for a sharpshooter,
and Becky able to turn it around into a Dis-arm-her now on Natalya.
[Pat] Dis-arm-her.
[Michael] And Roxanne Perez into the ring, and she'll break things up.
[Pat] Hurricanrana DDT there.
[Michael] Roxanne may have hurt her knee.
Becky rolling out of harm's way. Natalya, now turning things around,
looking for a sharpshooter yet again.
-[Pat] Roxanne, kick-out, Becky Lynch. -[Michael] Becky Lynch.
Went for the manhandle slam, blocked by Natalya, takedown by Natalya,
sending Becky to the ropes.
[Pat] So, much one-upping happening, very even.
[Michael] Yeah, Pat--
[Pat] One person's about to go over and win.
Ooh, gets flipped with the quickness, Natalya.
[Michael] And that right there is vintage Natalya,
follows this up with a nice kick right to the face.
[Pat] And just big boots here from Natalya, a lot of punt kicking.
[Michael] Becky Lynch from behind, went for a German suplex,
standing switch now by Natalya.
Becky caught her with an elbow to the nose, again uh--
Lyra Valkyria told the world
that Becky cannot be trusted. She's in this for herself.
She doesn't wanna help the young superstars in WWE today.
[Pat] Becky Lynch is okay with people knowing that.
[Michael] And Roxanne Perez now back into the ring.
And Natalya will wipe out Becky.
And now, Roxanne will take out everybody.
Roxanne Perez standing tall, Triple Threat action.
-Who's going to Money in the Bank? -[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Natalya, Roxanne, Becky Lynch, the winner of this advances
to Money in the Bank ladder match.
Roxanne Perez, who just signed on with Monday Night Raw earlier today,
looking to win a massive matchup tonight.
[Pat] Just pointed up to those briefcases that are a one-way trip to a title shot.
[Michael] Roxanne, history of the game, she knows what's at stake.
Into the corner, Becky Lynch into Natalya.
And now, Roxanne Perez trying to wrestle Becky to the mat.
And Natalya takes out both women.
That big discus clothesline made famous by her late great father,
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
[Pat] Can she get the sharpshooter in?
[Michael] Well, Roxanne again trying to thwart that.
And now, Natalya stacking Roxanne on Becky.
-Can she do it, Pat? -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Went for a double sharpshooter.
[Pat] That would have been tough, I think, to pull off.
But if she would have, we're talking epic.
[Michael] Well, if anybody could pull it off,
-it would be Natalya. -[Pat] Absolutely.
-Roxanne… -[Michael] Natalya has really become
a leader in the women's locker room, doing everything she can
to support the women that are coming up through the ranks.
Been training a lot with Maxxine Dupri.
And Roxanne, great move, moonsault to both women.
Cover now on Natalya to try to advance
to Money in the Bank and a kick-out at two.
[Pat] Roxanne's trying to quote John Cena, "Your time is up, my time is now."
She thinks of herself as the future and the present for good reason.
[Michael] Went for the manhandle slam.
Roxanne turned it into an arm drag and a pinning combination
-and a kick-out at two. -[Pat] Big kick.
[Michael] And Perez looking for Pop Rox.
That's her finishing maneuver, Becky able to counter.
Becky, manhandle slam. Did she get enough of it?
Hook of the leg. Natalya's gotta break things up.
[Michael] Natalya has been scrapping,
starred on Bloodsport at NWA over the weekend and out here tonight.
The kick-out by Roxanne Perez at two.
All three women down, so much on the line.
[Pat] What a fight here for a Money in the Bank opportunity.
[Michael] Alexa Bliss is already qualified for one of the six spots
on Friday Night SmackDown.
One of these women will join her.
We have another qualifying matchup later on tonight.
Men's qualifying action gets underway on Raw next Monday.
[both grunt]
[Pat] Throwing some massive hands on each other right now.
Big rights.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Becky and Natalya with a collision.
[Pat] She met her at the rope. So did Natalya.
What a fight here in Greenville.
Struggle happening.
-Roxanne. -[Michael] Roxanne now.
Oh, look at this, what a move!
Roxanne cover, Becky's gotta break things up.
Man, Roxanne, so impressive.
[Pat] Pop Rox into a German suplex.
And this thing was almost over for Roxanne Perez.
Pop Rox, suplex from Natalya.
Becky Lynch knew that it was potentially gonna come to an end
-and said uh-uh, rolled through. -[crowd chanting "Roxy"]
[Michael] Been an electric crowd all night long here.
Capacity in Greenville, South Carolina.
An opportunity to qualify for the Money in the Bank
contract ladder match and perhaps change the trajectory of your career.
[Pat] Change the trajectory of your career, your life,
your family's life, your future, your legacy, everything.
[Michael] And Becky fighting back,
again, said earlier, she wants to burst Roxanne's little bubble
in what's been an incredible nearly six months here in WWE for Perez.
Only tonight becoming an official part of the Raw roster.
And look at these two women go at it here.
And Becky with an uppercut, and a kick to the midsection,
and the veteran Becky Lynch takes over.
[Pat] These ladies.
[Michael] Nice throw by Roxanne Perez.
[Pat] Have been putting on an absolute brawl here in Greenville.
[Michael] And the former two-time NXT Women's Champion,
gonna climb to the top rope.
Becky Lynch.
Big blow to Perez.
[Pat] How is anybody gonna get anybody to be pinned for three seconds?
I have no idea.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And look at Roxanne fight back, the fiery prodigy.
[Pat] So evenly fought, wait a minute, Natalya now thinking big picture.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And now Natalya driving Becky into Roxanne.
[Pat] Just did a super cheers.
[Michael] Sit-out powerbomb for the win.
Becky kicks out at two.
[Pat] Just cheers Becky Lynch off of Roxanne,
and a sit-down powerbomb, and Natalya might win this thing.
[Michael] And Natalya now with Roxanne in trouble,
heads up to the top rope now.
Superplex by Natalya, cover.
[Pat] Superplex from Natalya.
[Michael] And Roxanne at two, another near fall.
-[Pat] Jeez. -[Michael] What a competitive matchup.
And now Natalya finally going for it, Pat.
-Can she lock it in now, though? -[Pat] This thing's over.
[Michael] Sharpshooter, center of the ring.
Will Roxanne Perez tap to the sharpshooter
and allow Natalya to advance to Money in the Bank?
[Pat] Dead center of that ring right now, Cole.
[Michael] Becky Lynch face first. Bulldog to Natalya.
And now looking for a Dis-arm-her,
Natalya able to roll her up, kick-out.
Discus clothesline again.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] That was clean.
[Michael] And now caught, Natalya catches Perez.
[Pat] Now back in the sharpshooter.
[Michael] Again, Roxanne trying to make it to the ropes, that won't save her.
No disqualifications or count outs in Triple Threat rules.
[Pat] Back at the sharpshooter again for Roxanne.
[Michael] But she's not done yet.
Natalya going for a double sharpshooter here
on both Roxanne and Becky.
Can you imagine, Pat, if they both tap out?
[Pat] Are we gonna get a double tap-out here for a shot
to Money in the Bank for Natalya?
[Michael] Becky grabs the rope, doesn't matter.
Will not break the count. Becky able to get out.
Natalya drags Roxanne back. Roxanne turns it around.
Well, thought she turned it around.
Natalya drags her back to the center of the ring.
Becky Lynch back into the ring. Becky now.
[crowd cheering]
And the manhandle slam connects!
Into the cover and Lyra Valkyria,
the Intercontinental Champion, is back after the assault
after the match by Becky at Backlash.
[Pat] A little get-back for Lyra on Becky Lynch.
[Michael] Lyra Valkyria getting some retribution tonight.
And the ref can do nothing about it, no disqualifications
in a Triple Threat match.
[Pat] Becky somehow able to fight off Lyra.
Big boot.
[Michael] Trying to turn her attention back to the match.
Natalya able to take Becky down.
Lyra Valkyria incensed here, dragging Lynch out of the ring.
Meanwhile, Roxanne with Pop Rox.
-Pop Rox, Roxanne Perez… -[crowd counting]
-…is going to Money in the Bank. -[bell ringing]
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Roxanne Perez!
[Michael] Becky and Lyra continue fighting,
but what has been an unbelievable half year
-for Roxanne Perez continues here at WWE. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Her first night officially on Raw,
and Pat, she's punched her ticket to Money in the Bank.
[Pat] She could have a world title opportunity.
[Michael] Two of the six slots have been filled.
Perez from Raw, Bliss from SmackDown.
We've got another qualifying matchup later on tonight.
It is shaping up to be quite the night.
-[music fades] -[crowd cheering, chanting "Yeet"]
-[Zayn] My dog. -What up, man?
-You all right? -Yeah, yeah.
All right, man. I just wanted to let you know,
I know you're dealing with a lot right now.
I saw what's going on with Logan, you got Gunther looming.
I just wanna let you know, Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker,
Paul Heyman, all of that, you don't need to deal with that.
I'll take care of that on Saturday, all right?
I know you got Bron Breakker tonight.
Handle your business.
I want you to know if the numbers game, if they play that,
-I got your back, all right? -Thanks, uce.
-Good? -Good, man.
Come on, man, give me a little.
Come on, man, gotta go higher.
[laughs]
-All right, take care of business, buddy. -Thanks, uce.
-[Zayn] You got it. -Yeet.
[energetic hip-hop music playing]
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, we just saw Roxanne
advance to the Money in the Bank. Who joins her?
Will it be Kairi Sane, who returns to the ring for the first time
since December after a hand injury?
Or will it be Zoey Stark, looking to make the next step
in her career and qualify for Money in the Bank?
Or will it be The Eradicator, Rhea Ripley?
She begins her quest for another world title opportunity.
-Later on tonight. -[Pat] This place just erupted for Mami.
[crowd cheering]
["10 Beats of the Bodhrán" playing]
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat laughs]
It is fight night!
Baby!
-[Michael] Nice. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Shout out to Fadem. And shout out to fight night.
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland,
weighing in at 267 pounds…
Sheamus!
[Michael] The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus, vows this will be a banger.
Sheamus, Grayson Waller, live on Netflix.
[crowd cheering]
So I'm just trying to make sure we're all on the same page here.
Are you absolutely sure that's what you want?
Yes.
Okay, medical says you're clear. So next week,
I will give you your match one-on-one with Rusev.
-Good luck. -[Gable laughs]
It's gonna need a lot more than luck.
Rusev is gonna end your career just like he did to that clown Otis.
Frankly, it's gonna be nice to see Alpha Academy put down for good.
T, he isn't worth it.
Let's go.
What do you want anyway?
Pearce, I know the Creeds have their big tag team championship match next week.
That's great, but what about me? What about Gable?
I'm here to talk Money in the Bank qualifying matches
for myself and Ivy Nile. What do you got for me?
I could have swore we already had this conversation.
-[Kingston] Chad Gable! -Does anybody knock around here?
What's going on, man?
I just wanna talk to you a little bit
'cause we got that Triple Threat tag championship match
with your boys next week, you know?
Nothing personal, nothing personal,
but those championships are coming with my team next week.
Okay, maybe, maybe not.
But the one thing that we can all agree upon
is the fact that we don't want The Raiders to win.
-Nobody does, right? -[clears throat] Yeah, good talk.
How about we take it anywhere but here? Thank you.
Sounds great 'cause it smells like a midlife crisis in here anyway.
-What the hell does that mean? -We outta here, bro.
-Thank God. -[Kingston] For the New Day.
-[wrestlers laugh] -[Kingston] I told you he was a fan.
-[Woods] He's a fan. -[Pat] Took his glasses off.
[Michael] I feel sorry for Adam Pearce sometimes.
-[bell ringing] -[Michael] And I sort of feel sorry
for Grayson Waller tonight too, one-on-one with Sheamus.
[Pat] Xavier Woods said it smelled like a midlife crisis
in Adam Pearce's office.
That had to cut through the soul there of our general manager.
-Speaking of soul-- -[Michael] The Mack Daddy.
-[Pat] Yeah, exactly. -[Michael] First time ever tonight,
Sheamus and Grayson Waller one-on-one here on Monday Night Raw.
Again, this match was originally scheduled two weeks ago.
[Pat] Grayson Waller just smacked Sheamus in the mouth.
[Michael] And Waller would have tricked Theory into taking the match up.
Theory would get his payback on his tag team partner last week.
You were saying moments ago that Waller has a unique strategy
for this match tonight.
[Pat] Yeah, I think, you know,
he just smacked Sheamus in the mouth right there.
I don't know if he's thinking about running
or thinking about taking a fight to Sheamus,
but everybody has a plan until you get punched in the mouth,
and that's what Sheamus does.
[Michael] Side headlock by Grayson Waller, the uber-athletic Waller.
[Pat] He should try to stick and move.
[crowd chanting "Let's go Sheamus"]
[Pat] Ground and pound will inevitably end up good for the big man from Ireland.
Grayson knows that, he's figuring it out.
[Michael] Yeah, Sheamus, in an interview with the Daily Mail,
talked about how he was, quote,
"gutted" for not being a part of WrestleMania this year.
He said he is so passionate about his job,
said he's in the best shape of his life, of his career.
He wants to consistently have banger after banger matches.
He said, "I could do it for a number of more years, and I'm just gonna do it
till they have to pretty much drag me out of the ring."
[Pat] Yeah, he feels honored to get the opportunity to wrestle in the WWE.
He treats it that way. He's willing to do whatever.
[Michael] Nice takedown by Grayson Waller.
[Pat] He wants to know if you can handle it as much as he can.
I was in the ring with a man who had a similar style.
[Michael] Yes. And we saw the bruises still showing up on your body tonight.
[Pat] Yeah, but I can tell in there, like,
they just want to know if you got it or not.
That's what they're looking for.
Come on. One! [speaks indistinctly]
[Michael] Sheamus just enjoys the fight. He enjoys the brawl.
Waller with a cheap shot
as the official, Jessika Carr, was backing Sheamus out of the way.
[Pat] Grayson Waller.
[Michael] Oh. Right to the midsection.
Went for another hip toss. Sheamus not allowing it to happen.
Great block by The Celtic Warrior.
[laughs] One slap drops Waller.
[Pat] I think he kinda palmed him a little bit there too.
Right on the jaw. Right on the butt.
[Michael] Sheamus still after the one championship
that has eluded him his entire career, the intercontinental title.
Said he'd like one more shot, one more opportunity at the belt.
[Pat] Feels like he's ready for it.
[Michael] What a Biel! As he sends Waller across the ring.
[Pat] I agree with him.
[both grunt]
[Michael] We gotta clip a shot of Theory, who's actually making some…
pretty great facial expressions over here outside the ring.
He's actually laughing at Waller getting the…
snot knocked out of him by Sheamus. He's supposed to be your buddy, Austin.
[Pat] What are we doing here?
[Theory] You good, man?
[Pat] Austin just asked if he was "good, man." The exact quote.
In the ring! Hey!
[Michael] And there's Theory.
[Pat] He's staring down Sheamus, a distraction maybe by Theory.
[Michael] Yeah, Sheamus sent-- Right off our announce table.
-Two! -[Pat] Jeez, Grayson Waller.
[Michael] And now Waller slides underneath the ring.
Clothesline knocks Sheamus down.
[Pat] The Aussie icon.
-Take notes. -Take notes?
-Take notes. -Oh, take notes.
-Oh my God. -[Theory] Oh, that's how it is. Okay.
[Michael] And I'm real interested to see where this relationship with Theory
-and Waller is, Pat, because… -[crowd chanting "Austin Theory"]
[Pat] There was a "Waller sucks" chant,
and now Austin Theory's name is getting chanted.
[Michael] Theory's making a lot of strange facial expressions out here
as he watches Waller go after Sheamus.
But Theory's the reason Waller's in control right now.
[Pat] And Grayson Waller also,
I don't think, loving the fact that Austin's name's getting chanted.
And he needs to pay attention to the fact that Sheamus just ate that.
[Michael] Well, I think it woke Sheamus up.
[Pat] Yep, "That's a nothingburger," says Sheamus.
[Michael] Sheamus said, "Bring the fight."
Come on!
-[Pat] Man, that has to be demoralizing. -[Michae] Yeah, not smart.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Waller just trying to run away, and it's not gonna matter.
And Austin Theory says, "Man, thank God it's not me."
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Pat] That was ten brutal chops to the chest of Grayson Waller.
[Michael] Waller-- Oh, great move, what a move by Waller.
[Pat] How's he even able to breathe is the question.
[Michael] That was incredible, up over the top
and just stomping to the back of the neck of Sheamus.
[Pat] Yeah, I think Grayson Waller is contemplating everything right now.
[laughs] I know the feeling, brother.
[Michael] Yeah, Waller looking for that rolling flat liner,
and he caught him.
Cover now by Waller, hook of the leg,
Sheamus at two.
[Pat] The fact that Grayson is able to do that after the beating he took
from Sheamus in the corner.
Obviously, a massive display of grit from Grayson Waller,
even though he is a bit arrogant, is what some people would say.
[crowd chanting "Grayson Waller"]
[Michael] And Waller with a big smile on his face, realizing he is in control.
Slowly taking his time, walking the second rope.
And now, Austin Theory, I don't know what Theory was doing,
but it cost him.
Theory, I don't know, was that a distraction on purpose or not?
But whatever it was, it cost Waller, who ran into a knee by Sheamus,
and he may have a broken jaw.
[Pat] And Sheamus…
is literally powering up…
through it all.
[Michael] You know, the deeper the match goes,
the longer it goes,
Sheamus just continues to build momentum. Seems like he gets stronger and stronger.
[Pat] There's a second wind, a third wind.
A little inverted guillotine here by Sheamus.
[Michael] Yeah, Sheamus punishing Waller here.
Look at the power.
[Pat] Like a sack…
of leaves carrying him on his back.
[Michael] Tossing him across the ring.
I think Waller weighs more than a sack of leaves, but I get your point.
[Pat] Well, that's what I'm saying.
Oh, that-- Is that the…
[Michael] We haven't seen this in a while.
That's the Dublin Smile, Pat.
And I believe that's the Terminator style when he puts both fingers in.
[Pat] Yeah, "why so serious" there from Sheamus to Grayson Waller.
[Michael] Waller still fighting back.
Oh. Wow, Sheamus knocked out to the apron.
[Pat] Grayson Waller.
[Michael] Waller putting up a fight here tonight against The Celtic Warrior.
[crowd booing]
[Pat] This is Sheamus's…
[Michael] He's gonna steal the Ten Beats of the Bodhrán from Sheamus.
-[crowd counting] -[Pat] Didn't sound nearly the same.
[Michael] Yeah, not quite the effect that Sheamus's usually have.
Sheamus now on the apron.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
-[Michael] Oh! Wow. -[crowd gasps]
[Pat] He just dropped him off the top rope.
[Michael] And now I believe Waller's gonna get a little payback here.
[crowd gasps]
[Michael] And Waller scoots out of harm's way.
-[Pat] I feel like that was necessary… -Two!
[Pat] …exit by Grayson, and an actual exit is what he's thinking.
Hey, hey. Where are you going? Where you going?
I'm done.
No, no, you're not done, you're not done.
-I am done. I quit. -You're not gonna quit.
-You don't quit. -What do you mean?
-Stay in it, you wanted this. -[groans]
[Michael] Well, the argument with Theory
did not allow Waller to get out of harm's way.
And now Sheamus is gonna make him pay right in front of Austin Theory,
who has a bit of a grin on his face
as the Ten Beats of the Bodhrán are being delivered
-by the Celtic Warrior. -[crowd] Eight, nine, ten!
[Michael] You think Theory feels a bit responsible for that?
[Pat] Austin Theory, trying to give a motivational speech
about our team never quitting.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Listen to this place for Sheamus.
[crowd chanting grunts]
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Brogue Kick!
[crowd] One, two, three.
-[Michael] Sheamus. -[bell ringing]
["10 Beats Of The Bodhrán" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner…
Sheamus!
[Michael] I can't get over the fact that Austin Theory is…
Let's just call it like it is.
He's laughing at his buddy Waller getting beat here tonight.
[Pat] Yeah, he signed Grayson Waller up for this match.
He tried to give him a motivational speech about not quitting and…
Stay in it, you wanted this…
[Michael] Well, that cost Waller any chance of getting away
from The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus.
[Pat] Yeah, Grayson was thinking about leaving maybe the whole company.
And it ended with him getting Brogue Kicked in the face.
One, two, three.
Sheamus with a huge win here on Monday Night Raw.
[Michael] Sheamus getting better and better and better
with banger after banger after banger.
[Pat] He's jacked.
[Michael] I gotta get on that diet.
I am here with The Ring General, Gunther.
Earlier tonight, you said you didn't care who won
between Logan Paul and defending World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso,
this Saturday.
But with others now targeting that championship,
is your game plan different heading into June 9th?
[crowd cheering]
It's been a while.
Been a while since we shared the same space.
I just wanted to come here…
let you know that the work you did
with my World Heavyweight Championship…
that's pretty good, man. That's pretty good stuff.
You know?
-You're a pretty good champ. -It's an interesting conclusion.
I heard about the long term plan.
But for a visionary, Seth, you're pretty short sighted.
Because you're definitely not the long game around here.
I am the future around here.
All right, I'll cut the crap.
I came here out of professional courtesy for someone I thought I had respect for.
So I'll give it to you straight.
If you happen to find that World Heavyweight Championship
around your waist again,
you will be treated no different than anybody else.
You will make yourself… a target.
You know what, Seth?
Please, I cannot wait.
In fact, I am eagerly awaiting it.
[Michael] Seth Rollins trying to cut a lot of deals here tonight.

[Michael] And an eye patch that pays homage to one cameraman
of ours at ringside.
[Pat] That one-eyed man can somehow do his job better than when he had two.
Kairi Sane, welcome back.
[Michael] Again, the rules of a Triple Threat match.
First woman to gain pinfall or submission
will advance to the Money in the Bank contract ladder match
in Los Angeles.
[Pat] Rhea Ripley doesn't have gold around her waist.
So she's looking to make that happen.
[Michael] As we saw earlier tonight,
Pat, there are no count-outs, no disqualifications
in a Triple Threat match. Lyra Valkyria getting involved,
costing Becky Lynch an opportunity to advance.
Roxanne Perez defeating Natalya to move on.
And now we're underway.
Zoey Stark goes right after Kairi Sane and Rhea Ripley now gets involved.
This will be a physical one, I guarantee you.
-[Pat] It certainly will. -[Michael] And Zoey Stark now.
Take down by Stark, and a kick-out by Rhea Ripley.
Fast paced action,
Kairi Sane, sunset flip up over the top, Rhea Ripley.
-[Pat] Picks Kairi Sane up. -[Michael] And a German suplex by Rhea.
[Michael] Zoey Stark with that great drop kick.
Very athletic, Zoey Stark.
[Pat] Feels like everybody had the same strategy,
"Let's come out and see if we can win this thing quick."
[Michael] Zoey has been in two Money in the Bank ladder matches
in her career.
Kairi Sane, Rhea Ripley looking to qualify for their first.
[crowd applauding, chanting "Let's go, Kairi"]
[Michael] We talked earlier tonight, Pat, 100% of the time…
in the women's division, when they cash in the contract,
we crown a new world champion.
Tiffany Stratton, the latest example of that,
-earlier this year. A big shoulder tackle. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] When you become world champion,
you're legitimized forever in our industry,
which is why Rhea Ripley is so beloved by everybody.
[Michael] Nice leapfrog by Zoey, Rhea able to roll through.
Great drop kick by Rhea, showing off her athleticism in this match.
Rhea is so focused, talked to her earlier today,
she understands that this is an opportunity
to get back into the world title hunt.
Saw her staring down her tag partner last week,
the world champ, Iyo Sky.
[Pat] Triple threat, it's hard to put an odds-on favorite,
but Rhea Ripley is favored in every match that she is in…
for a good… for a long time now.
[Michael] Kairi Sane will send Rhea across the ring.
[Pat] Great to see Kairi Sane back.
[Michael] Yeah, Kairi a former two-time NXT Women's Champ.
[Pat] Rhea Ripley catching her breath out here.
Kairi Sane…
[Michael] One-time NXT Women's Champion, two-time tag champ.
[Michael] Oh! Zoe went for that missile drop kick,
and I believe Zoe may have gotten hurt.
I believe she hurt her knee when she came off that top rope.
Zoe's hurt.
The official now, Shawn Bennett. is checking on Zoey Stark.
Zoey may have blown her knee out.
The doctor now heading into the ring to check on Zoey.
Zoey came off the top rope,
tried to hit Kairi Sane with that sniper-like drop kick.
Kairi moving out of harm's way, and Zoey hit hard.
And now, the official, Shawn Bennett, is gonna back off the competitors
so the doctor can deal with Zoey Stark. This is a tragic situation.
Zoey, who's had knee injuries in the past.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Again, ladies and gentlemen,
the situation here in Greenville, South Carolina, is this,
this Triple Threat match between Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane,
and Zoey Stark is now a one-on-one match
to qualify for the Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
Zoey Stark, moments ago, tried to deliver
that sniper missile dropkick off the top rope.
She landed awkwardly,
and the fear is that she has re-injured a knee
that was surgically repaired,
and kept her out of action for a number of months.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] And Rhea Ripley--
[Michael] Oh! And a fallaway slam by Ripley.
We'll try to get you an update on Zoe whenever we can.
Rhea now drags Kairi back, center of the ring,
-hook of the leg, kick-out by Sane. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Pat, this is Kairi's first match since December.
Rhea Ripley on a mission though,
she wants another crack at the world title.
And the easiest way to do that,
win the Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
And now, the Prism Lock, this is a submission maneuver by Rhea.
And she's got Kairi center of the ring. Will Kairi tap out?
[Pat] Rhea Ripley is a champion, she doesn't have gold,
she's looking for it. Money in the Bank…
is a way to get it back.
Kairi Sane had no idea she had a one-on-one match
with Rhea Ripley tonight.
She thought this was gonna be Triple Threat.
[Michael] Yeah, and I think the fact that it's one-on-one definitely favors Rhea,
as Kairi Sane returns to action for the first time in nearly six months.
[Pat] Especially if you don't have time to prepare specifically for Rhea Ripley.
-Now, Kairi Sane is back… -[crowd cheering]
…and she looks fantastic.
[Michael] And Kairi into the corner.
[Pat] Here we go, Kairi said, "What were you saying about Rhea Ripley?"
[Michael] Kairi now top rope.
The high-flyer, Rhea Ripley, looking to counter now,
both women slugging away here.
[Pat] A headbutt from Kairi Sane to Rhea Ripley.
-Oh. Oh! -[Michael] Oh, goodness, Rhea Ripley!
-Cover to advance. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Kairi somehow gets her shoulder up.
-What a physical match this has been. -[Pat] I mean, a drop kick.
Oh, jeez.
[Michael] Picking her right out of midair.
And again, you qualify for the Money in the Bank
contract ladder match.
You climb a ladder,
you grab the contract that's inside a briefcase.
That contract gives you the opportunity to cash in
and a world championship opportunity any time you want.
[crowd applauding, chanting "Let's go Mami"]
[Michael] That is what's at stake. We talked about it earlier, Pat.
It can change your life and your career.
[Pat] Yeah, it changes everything…
in an instant.
Rhea Ripley's been there, done that a lot, and she's looking to get back.
[Michael] Now, looking for Riptide on Kairi Sane,
trying to put Kairi away.
Sane, though, able to drop behind, and catch her with a backhand.
-[crowd cheering] -[Pat] Spinning elbow by Kairi Sane.
[Michael] Now, driving Rhea toward the corner.
You can ask guys like Sheamus how it changes your career
to cash in Money in the Bank.
Seth Rollins did it at WrestleMania, Damian Priest as well as…
-Kairi Sane delivers a blow to Ripley. -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] And Tiffy Time put herself into a different stratosphere.
[Michael] Bayley did the same thing a few years prior.
Iyo Sky as well.
And now, Kairi Sane, top rope going for the Insane Elbow,
and Rhea able to counter.
[Pat] Another massive boot, or boots shall I say,
to Kairi Sane coming from the top rope. Devastating enough to begin with,
let alone when you're falling into the boots
from Rhea Ripley.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Money in the Bank…
-[Michael] Is at stake. -…changes everything for you.
One-on-one.
[Michael] Men's qualifiers begin next week here on Monday Night Raw.
Rhea Ripley delivers a right to Kairi Sane.
[Pat] She just knocks Kairi down, and then she says, "Is that all you got?"
[Michael] Again, both these women trying to qualify
for their first-ever Money in the Bank contract ladder match.
-Okay, let's go! -[crowd groaning]
[Pat] Big shots here.
-[wrestlers grunt] -[crowd cheering]
[Pat] Jeez.
Did you expect this from Kairi Sane?
[Michael] Yeah, putting up the fight against Ripley.
Looking to advance, what an opportunity this would be.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] She thought the spinning elbow. You tried to hit it twice?
No, ma'am.
[Michael] Going for Riptide!
-Cover! -[crowd counting]
-[Michael] Rhea Ripley is going to LA.… -[bell ringing]
…for Money in the Bank.
-["Demon In Your Dreams" playing] -[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Rhea Ripley!
[Michael] Rhea Ripley now joins Roxanne Perez and Alexa Bliss,
filling three of the six spots for Money in the Bank.
What a match for Rhea.
[Pat] Once it became a one-on-one match, we thought it favored Rhea Ripley,
and Kairi Sane certainly put up a massive fight in her comeback…
since December.
But Rhea Ripley stands tall and is in Money in the Bank,
which I assume she thought is how this match was gonna end anyway.
-[tense music playing] -Tozawa…
Tozawa…
I admire your courage and loyalty to your friends.
But you must be high on cheers and delusion of applause to challenge me.
I was just trying to do what's best for you.
I was trying to fix you…
like I fixed myself.
But you go and challenge me, you ungrateful little man.
I was born in the tempest. I am the son of thunder.
Who are you to challenge me?
A weed taunting a blade.
Now, you've got my attention, and you've got a problem.
You should have thanked me and walked away.
-Instead, you listened to them… -[crowd cheering]
…and not your brother.
Remember, your ego might get you cheered,
but your arrogance will get you slaughtered.
[crowd groans]
So Tozawa-san, next week on Monday Night Raw,
I will embrace your challenge with open arms.
And after I beat you senseless, and I tap you out,
I am going to forgive your stupidity, and forget your existence.
[music fades]
-["4X4" playing] -[Michael] Yeah. Good luck, Tozawa.
Meanwhile, Bron Breakker has his orders.
[Michael] Break Jey Uso. Seth Rollins says,
"Make him pay, because this is personal now."
And for the World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso,
it's about revenge and survival.

Hold on, what is she doing here?
[crowd cheering]
Listen guys, play nice.
We've been chatting the last couple weeks, and I'd just like to take a moment
to formally introduce Roxanne Perez to The Judgment Day.
-Hi, guys. -[crowd cheering, applauding]
Because I've been thinking about what Dom said a couple weeks ago
about how we might need some more numbers around here.
-I think we should talk to Liv. -No, look, Liv is gonna appreciate this.
You have me, JD, and Carlito all covering your back.
But Raquel and Liv have no one.
-I-- -[grunts]
I still think we should talk to Liv, especially with all The Judgment Days.
No, no, no, no, no. Listen, listen, listen.
She's not a member of The Judgment Day.

And in that case, we have Roxanne.

[Alicia] And his opponent,
accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer,
The Wise Man, Paul Heyman,
from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 250 pounds,
Bron Breakker!
[Michael] You know, Pat, a lot has been made
in the past couple of weeks about the weight
of carrying the World Championship
and whether or not Jey Uso can carry the weight
and the responsibility of being World Champion.
Well, if he can run the gauntlet
that could face him over the next three weeks,
then he'll prove he can handle the weight of the title.
Tonight, it is a non-title affair against Bron Breakker.
But he has to get through Breakker because Saturday night,
he's got Logan Paul with the title on the line
at Saturday Night's Main Event.
And if he survives Saturday night,
he has to defend against the man he beat at WrestleMania.
That would be Gunther.
Can Jey Uso run the gauntlet? Will he be up for the challenge?
[music fades]
-[referee] Ring the bell. -[bell ringing]
[crowd barking]
[Michael] And for Breakker, it is about breaking.
It is about hurting Jey Uso tonight.
The marching orders from Seth Rollins, Pat.
Rollins said it was all business a couple of weeks ago
when he faced Jey Uso for the world title.
But when Uso decided to side with his long time rival CM Punk
and of course Sami Zayn last week,
it changed from business to personal for Rollins.
[Pat] I think the last person I would wanna have to face
just days before a world title defense
-would be Bron Breakker. -[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
[Michael] Breakker with nothing to lose. It's not about winning this match for him.
-It's about-- -[Pat] Beating him down.
[Michael] Yeah, destroying Uso.
Seth Rollins very vocal tonight about making sure
he's next in line after the Gunther title match
three weeks from tonight.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Michael] Jey is going toe to toe with Breakker tonight,
driving Breakker up over the top rope into the floor.
[Pat] Yes, he is.
-Most pressure, Jey's showing up. -[crowd] Yeet!
[Pat] In the biggest way.
[Michael] And Jey now, suicide dive takes Breakker out.
And I've been very impressed with the way Uso's responded
-the past number of weeks. -[Pat] Absolutely.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And what's interesting about this match tonight, Pat,
is this is a rivalry renewed.
The third time these two have gone one-on-one.
Back in September, remember,
Jey Uso beat Bron Breakker to win his first singles championship,
-the intercontinental title. -[Pat] Oh no!
[Michael] Breakker with a clothesline and at a breakneck speed.
[Pat] He was running 23, 24 miles an hour off those ropes.
-And the dogs are barking in Greenville. -[crowd barking]
[Michael] And then back in October, Breakker would beat Uso
to win his Intercontinental Championship back.
This time, no titles on the line, but it's all about physicality. Boom!
[Pat] At the same time, he's garnered hundreds of millions,
if not billions of views at this point for running that speed
off of those ropes, and then spearing people in half.
[Michael] Yeah, ask IShowSpeed about that.
[Pat] Ask Carlito about that.
Ask basically anybody that has been on the receiving end of his super spear.
-He's a problem. -[Michael] Yeah.
He's as intense as they come.
-Dislikes just about everyone. -[crowd barking, booing]
[Michael] Paul Heyman likes what he sees.
Paul knows talent, there's no doubt about that.
You have to wonder how long he's had his eyes on Bron Breakker.
[Pat] I assume since he was a boy.
[Michael] Oh, wow! Breakker intercepted Uso with a slam…
-[crowd counting] -…hook of the leg, kick-out by the champ.
[Pat] Obviously, he's a second generation WWE Superstar wrestler.
You are sorry as hell.
-You know that? -[Pat] Second generation dog.
[Michael] Now, Breakker having his way with Jey Uso.
[Pat] Bron Breakker was in the NFL. Bron Breakker, freak athlete.
-He's an absolute freak athlete. -[Michael] Has the pedigree, of course.
His father and his uncle came in as tag team competitors.
But, you know, Bron Breakker, the first member of the Steiner family
to actually hold a singles title here in WWE.
[crowd chanting "Uso"]
[Michael] Been a two-time Intercontinental Champion, twice NXT,
one-time NXT Tag Champ, and-- Great belly-to-belly throw by Breakker.
[Pat] Don't think he got all of it. Think he went to the side a little bit.
Jey Uso might have been able to wiggle his way out of the grip there
from Bron Breakker as Paul Heyman continues to motivate.
Hey, Jey! I hope you're watching.
[Pat] I'll tell you what.
Having Paul Heyman select you is a massive ordeal.
[Michael] Yeah. Just-- I mean, absolutely incredible, changes everything.
-He's lousy! Lousy! -[Pat] And think about Jey Uso having to--
He's a bum! He's a bum!
[Michael] Well, I'm not quite sure I agree with that, but--
[Pat] Jey Uso's got a world title defense on Saturday night.
-[Michael] Yeah, against Logan Paul. -[crowd chanting "Yeet"]
[Michael] Now, he's just trying to survive here tonight
over Bron Breakker and he's fighting back, and Uso's showing some guts.
[crowd] Whoa, yeet!
[Michael] Clothesline-- Oh, big right hand catches Bron right in the jaw.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] This is what Jey Uso can do.
Pelé kick, right to the head.
-U… -[crowd] …so!
[Michael] And now, Main Event gonna back it on up
and Breakker's gonna suffer.
-Cover now by Jey Uso, hook of the leg… -[crowd counting]
…kick-out, and I don't think Rollins would be happy
if Jey knocks off Breakker tonight, or that man, Paul Heyman.
[Pat] I think all anybody really wants at the end of the day
is Bron Breakker to do some damage to Jey Uso.
That's what that group definitely wants.
That's what Logan Paul is certainly hoping for as well.
[crowd cheering, applauding]
[Pat] If Bron Breakker was to get a win and beat up our champion…
it would be a turning point evening, I think, for Bron Breakker, Paul Heyman,
-and Seth "Freakin" Rollins. -[Michael] Breakker back to his feet.
-Jey Uso back up as well. -[crowd chanting "Uso"]
[Michael] Jey-- And he'll catch him on the other side.
Got him in the shoulder though.
It drove Breakker outside the ring and right to our announce table.
[Pat] Another big kick from Jey Uso, putting it in a keyhole basically.
[Michael] Jey Uso now, looking to fly, Jey with a suicide dive,
caught by Bron Breakker.
Bron now, slamming Uso into our table, then into the ring post.
And Breakker now, slinging Jey into the table.
[Pat] Oh, wait a minute.
[Michael] Oh my God, no, we've seen this before!
-Get the hell out of the way, Pat! -[Pat] Yeah, true.
Like a jungle cat, this dog is about to jump…
-about 20 feet! -[Michael] Bron Breakker…
wiping out Uso, wiping out himself, 20 feet off the apron to the floor!
[Pat] Holy…
[Breakker] You can't beat me!
-[Michael] Breakker barking. -[Breakker] You're world champ?
Trying to take this from me?
Hit me, let's go!
-[crowd barking] -[Pat] Bron Breakker.
[Michael] And Jey Uso's gonna take his invitation.
Breakker does not like that at all. Up goes Jey Uso, lands on his feet.
Jey with a right hand, and now,
-both men exchanging blows. -[crowd] Yeet!
[Michael] Again, this is not about a championship.
It's about Breakker breaking Uso down.
[Pat] Punched the grill out of his mouth.
-[Michael] Is that what that was? -[Pat] I think he lost a tooth, something.
-Big shot from these two. -[crowd] Yeet!
[crowd] Whoa!
[Michael] Uh-oh. Breakker with a knee.
Jey somehow still on his feet. Enzuigiri, caught Bron.
[Pat] Jey's jaw.
[Michael] And Breakker, went for a clothesline, off the ropes now,
pop up, Samoan drop!
-"Main Event" Jey Uso for the victory… -[crowd counting]
…kick-out at two!
[Pat] Bron was thrown…
seven-- I mean, that's like seven, eight feet in the sky.
[Michael] Precision offense by the World Heavyweight Champion.
Jey Uso showing his mettle tonight.
[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
[Pat] Yes, it is.
-[Michael] And Paul Heyman… -[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
…maybe beginning to turn into a believer when it comes to Jey Uso.
[crowd chanting "This is awesome"]
[Michael] Jey, top rope, Breakker's gonna meet him there.
Breakker again able to quell the momentum.
[Pat] Hits Jey in the head, loses his balance,
and now, Bron Breakker's climbing up.
He was looking to do this earlier, I believe.
[Michael] And again, Jey able to counter.
[Pat] Great defense yet again by Jey Uso.
That could have been bad for our world champion.
Oh, wait a minute!
-Frankensteiner! -[Michael] Oh, and Uso down.
Breakker, cover.
-[crowd counting] -[Michael] Near fall for Breakker.
[crowd cheering]
[Pat] The Steiner family's athleticism knows no bounds.
Earlier, he leaped from the ring over our commentary desk.
And he climbs the ropes so easily at 240, 250.
This guy's a specimen.
[Michael] Yeah, intense as they come.
[crowd barking]
[Michael] And I believe he's about to make an example of Jey Uso here.
[Michael] Went for a spear and he ran into a super kick.
-Jey into the cover. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Another near fall by Uso.
[Pat] Jey thought it was three.
And with the way Bron Breakker fell after getting kicked,
I think we all thought…
Bron was done!
[Michael] Again, being able to dig down deep,
carry the weight of the championship…
-[Pat] Paul Heyman-- -…do it against all odds.
[Pat] Paul Heyman looking on,
scared to death for Bron Breakker, it looks like.
[crowd chanting "Let's go Uso"]
[Pat] Jey Uso.
-[crowd chanting "Let's go Uso"] -Come on! Come on!
-[Pat] Now, Paul Heyman. -[Michael] Yeah, Paul up on the apron.
[indistinct chatter]
[Michael] That allows Breakker to…
-Again, Breakker with a steel chair now. -[Pat] What's that all about?
[Michael] The bottom line is this, this isn't about winning the match,
this is about destroying Uso.
Jey intercepts Breakker, and Paul Heyman again.
[Pat] Jey Uso too quick for Bron Breakker and his chair.
[Michael] Trying to provide that distraction, Pat,
and almost cost Jey.
Oh, and Paul Heyman just grabbed Uso's foot.
The official, Rod Zapata, never saw it, but Heyman got involved again
and Uso's like, "Okay, enough of this."
[Pat] Paul Heyman's been standing ringside for decades.
Knows every trick in the game.
[Michael] And Jey Uso is about to give Paul Heyman what he deserves.
[Pat] Oh, Paul Heyman. All right.
-[Michael] Okay, Paul. -[Pat] Running backwards--
[Michael] Oh, and from behind…
-[bell ringing] -…Seth Rollins, Seth "Freakin" Rollins!
That'll be a disqualification. Heyman suckered Uso in and Rollins struck.
[Pat] I mean, vintage Paul Heyman…
with Seth "Freakin" Rollins…
now the beneficiary.
[Michael] Well, Paul Heyman suckered in Jey Uso.
Rollins is able to attack.
[Pat] Oh, well, Jey Uso says, "I don't give a damn, I'll fight you all."
[Michael] Yeah, but the problem is it's two-on-one now.
The problem is Breakker's back involved. Rollins said this is personal.
He wants Breakker to just break down Jey Uso.
Doesn't give a damn about Jey's title defense on Saturday.
