[children cheering and applauding]
Oh, hello there, friends.
[laughs] And season's greetings.
You know, as the holidays approach
and 2019 comes to a close,
it's that time of year when we all need to pause for a moment
and reflect on the type of person that we've been for the past year.
And we all ask ourselves,
did we make friends?
So, you want my help with The Kabuki Warriors?
[Bray] Or create enemies?
[Michael] And The Kabuki Warriors continue to be thorns in the side
of The Queen and Becky Lynch.
[Bray] Did we hurt?
[Michael] King Corbin is hell-bent on humiliating Roman Reigns.
[Bray] Or did we heal?
[Roman] In that ring, I am a dog, and you can't handle me.
[Bray] Have we been naughty?
And now I have a chance to join a new family.
There's no place like home for the holidays.
Or nice?
Family is the most important thing today.
There's a line that you don't cross, and Bray Wyatt crossed that line.
Regardless,
in the end, we're all the same.
We're all human, and we all make mistakes.
That's why it's important to remember that everyone,
good or bad, friend or enemy, angel or demon,
naughty or nice, everyone needs a little… [distorted voice] TLC.

-["New Day, New Way" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And we kick things off tonight
with a Ladders Match for the SmackDown tag team titles.
Here are the champions, The New Day.
The Tag Team Championship hanging high above the ring.
You must climb a ladder, retrieve the titles
in order to win the championship here tonight.
Who brought a pancake to a Ladder Match?
[bell rings]
[Hamilton] The following is a Ladder Match
for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship!
In this match, there are no count-outs, no disqualifications, no pinfalls,
and no submissions.
The only way to win is to climb the ladder and retrieve the championship
that will be hanging above the ring.
Introducing the SmackDown Tag Team Champions,
Kofi Kingston and Big E,
The New Day!
[Michael] You know, for The New Day, Kofi Kingston and Big E,
they've only competed in one Ladder Match in their career as a team.
However, Corey, Kofi Kingston, with an extensive résumé
when it comes to Ladder Matches.
[Graves] Now, on the other side of the coin, you've got The Revival,
who have never competed in a Ladder Match in WWE.
What a massive opportunity at hand tonight.
["Southern Proud" playing]
[Hamilton] Introducing the challengers,
at a combined weight of 446 pounds,
Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder,
The Revival!
[Michael] You notice behind The Revival, it says, "No flips, just fists."
However, tonight, Corey,
The Revival may have to do some flips
in order to win the tag team titles.
The Revival's probably gonna abandon
their traditional, old-school wrestling mentality
because it's a necessity to change plans to make it to the top of the ladder,
to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
Corey and I are joined at ringside tonight by our Spanish announce team,
Carlos Cabrera and Marcelo Rodriguez.
[speaking Spanish]
[Michael] And our German-- our German announce team,
Calvin Knie, Carsten Schaefer, and Tim Haber.
[speaking German]
[Michael] And remember, in this Tag Team Championship match,
there will be no tags in and out of the ring.
All four men will compete at the same time.
You can use the ladder as a weapon, but you must climb the ladder
to retrieve the championship in order to win the title.
[Graves] The trick in a matchup like this is you have to somehow neutralize
both of your opponents simultaneously,
to have the time to ascend the ladder and grab the championships.
[Michael] A very confident Revival confronting Booker T
on our kickoff show earlier tonight.
They said that they already in their career
deserve Hall of Fame rings.
And here we go.
Dawson and Wilder going right after Kingston and Big E
as we kick off TLC.
[Graves] Fists flying right out of the gate,
Dawson and Wilder with the upper hand at the moment.
Oh!
[Michael] This has been quite the rivalry between these two teams.
The Revival knocked off The New Day earlier this year
at Clash of Champions to win the tag team titles.
The New Day, however, last month, would come back
to win the titles from The Revival
for a seventh time in their career. Oh!
[Graves] Great tag team offense from Kofi and Big E.
The Revival has spent the past few months taking credit,
taking great pride in the injury caused to-- oh, Xavier Woods,
the third member of New Day.
[Michael] And Xavier out with an Achilles tendon injury.
You know, he's watching here tonight
and cheering on his brothers in The New Day.
Four hundred and seventy-eight days, one of the reigns lasted for The New Day,
a modern record in WWE,
and Revival hoping to win the tag titles here tonight for a fourth time.
[Graves] Wilder burying a knee to the midsection of Big E.
This is all perfectly legal.
[Michael] And again, look to incapacitate your opponents
to the point where you can set up a ladder
and climb to retrieve the championships.
Is this the way you expected this matchup to start, Corey?
[Graves] Absolutely. Nothing fancy out of the gate.
Wilder and Dawson certainly have a strategy, as they always do.
As I mentioned before, they're gonna have to sort of deviate
from their standard plans of isolate and dominate.
Big E and Kofi are not going to stay down just yet.
[Michael] And The Revival winning a Fatal 4-Way Elimination matchup
a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown to earn this opportunity tonight.
The match became a Ladder Match last week.
Kingston sends Wilder face-first off the ladder.
Kofi Kingston in his career, a stellar résumé,
as we mentioned before, in Ladder Matches.
Talk about Intercontinental Championship Ladder Matches,
Money in the Bank Ladder Matches as well.
And Big E-- And look at this, Wilder now.
Oh, right to the kidney of Kingston.
[Graves] And it could be argued that there is no substitute for experience
when it comes to something as unusual as a Ladder Match,
which Kofi Kingston certainly has an overabundance of experience.
Could really be a game changer.
[Michael] And Big E now-- oh, into the steps hip-first,
and The Revival have taken over.
[Graves] Dawson and Wilder never shy
about the amount of ruthlessness they possess.
They take great pride, great pleasure in hurting opponents,
as Kofi's finding out right now.
[Michael] Bang. Right into the LED board on the apron of the ring.
[Graves] No give on that side.
[Michael] The Revival, one of the most physical
and aggressive teams in WWE today.
Pointing up at the SmackDown tag team titles
hanging above the ring.
[Graves] This is smart, Dawson and Wilder realizing
they don't have much time to work with.
Got to get the ladder in the ring to retrieve the titles.
[Michael] You know, over the years, the TLC event has been called
the WWE's version of the demolition derby,
and here's an example of why. Kofi Kingston though!
[Graves] Great athleticism by Kofi. Oh!
And The Revival using a ladder to their advantage
and now just pounding Kingston with the ladder.
[Michael] Kofi trying to rally and, man, was he ever intercepted.
[Graves] Make no mistake about it.
Scott Dawson, Dash Wilder, overprepared for tonight's matchup.
They want to be the ones to dethrone The New Day.
[Michael] Such an important event here tonight at TLC,
the final pay-per-view event of the year
as we head into the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season to kick off 2020.
-Kingston again. -[Graves] Oh, good Lord!
[Michael] Tremendous athletic ability, hit hard though. Kofi off the second rope.
Oh, and New-- my God!
Sacrificed his own body to take out The Revival.
And Dawson screaming
and holding his right knee, as we take another look.
[Graves] Watch the height and the impact.
Kofi Kingston, as you said, sacrificing his own body
to take out both opponents simultaneously.
[Michael] Sometimes that's what it takes in these type of matchups.
And now, uh, The New Day perhaps with an opportunity
to set a ladder up and retain the tag team titles here tonight.
[Graves] This is what the TLC event is like
every single year, the nights where creativity meets brutality.
We are seeing it unfold right before our very eyes.
[Michael] And many superstars, uh, do not look forward to this date
on their calendar every year.
And here's Dawson with a clothesline to Kingston.
What impact.
[Graves] And a tug-of-war between Dash Wilder and Big E,
now both members of The Revival.
[Michael] Look at Big E and the strength of a-- of the near-300-pounder.
[Graves] Big E, arguably one of the strongest men in all of WWE,
using the ladder as a weapon to flatten The Revival.
[crowd chanting] Big E! Big E! Big E! Big E!
[Michael] And Wilder trying to drag the ladder back out of the ring,
and Big E realizes he has to do some more damage
to the number one contenders.
Wilder bounced off the ladder again.
You really got to have a mean streak, Corey,
to be able to participate in these types of matches.
[Graves] No doubt about it.
A mean streak and superhuman pain tolerance.
[Michael] Wilder in trouble on the ladder.
What on earth does Big E have planned?
Went for the splash.
Wilder pulled out of the way by Dawson
and the impact to the ribs of Big E.
[Graves] Big E hesitated just a moment too long,
and it did not pay off.
[Michael] And now it's The Revival.
Looking to take control of this matchup.
Here comes Kofi Kingston launching himself,
caught by Dawson and Wilder.
And now Kingston driven right off the ladder again.
And The Revival now have taken complete control.
[Graves] Let's take another look at this. Moments ago, Big E looking for a splash.
Dawson coming to the aid of Wilder just in time.
Ribs and chest first into the unforgiving ladder.
[Michael] The Revival have done a good job so far isolating The New Day,
beating down the Tag Team Champions,
and now may have their opportunity
to set up the ladder and retrieve the titles
for a fourth championship win in their career.
[Graves] It's a beneficial scenario for The Revival.
You have one man that can climb the ladder while the other stands guard.
The New Day could be losing their championships momentarily.
[Michael] And Wilder's gonna climb the ladder
and looks like Dawson may climb as well.
Scott Dawson still favoring the right leg.
Big E into the ring, rips--
[Graves] Keep climbing, Wilder, keep climbing.
[Michael] And a belly-to-belly, and Wilder-- he heard you, Corey, reached
for the titles, and Big E--
[Graves] Boom!
[Michael] …not allowing him to unclip the championships.
[Graves] Big E now with an opportunity to save the titles for The New Day.
It's a long way up for a 300-pounder.
[Michael] Meanwhile, look in the corner, Scott Dawson,
Dash Wilder now to the ladder.
Dawson kicks the ladder out from underneath Big E,
and did you see how Big E's knee wrapped around the leg as he came down to the mat?
[Graves] Big E might be seriously injured.
-[Michael] And the, uh-- -[Graves] Pounding the mat in agony.
[Michael] The officials right there to check on Big E,
who got caught up in the ladder
and took a nasty fall, as we take another look.
[Graves] Keep an eye on the leg of Big E.
[Michael] Oh my God!
[Graves] Just out of frame, unfortunately.
E's left knee getting caught in the ladder as it came down.
Bad situation for Big E.
[Michael] Big E, uh, he'd be lucky if he can make it back to his feet,
and The Revival.
[Graves] A cheap shot, a low blow, and it's perfectly legal.
[Michael] Yeah.
Anything goes because there's no pinfall, submission,
count-out, disqualifications.
And The Revival again just torturing Big E.
[Graves] Fantastic innovation by the top guys.
[Big E groaning]
[Graves] I don't care how strong Big E is, he is not getting up from that.
Well, not anytime soon.
[Michael] The Revival said they had a game plan coming into tonight.
And so far, it has worked perfectly,
as we take another look as what Corey called the great innovation
from The Revival.
And the double team by Wilder and Dawson.
And this has been an unbelievable strategy
by the challengers.
Big E face-first off the ladder
and The Revival are destroying The New Day.
Yes. I hear you.
[Graves] Confidence continuing to build for Dawson and Wilder.
Kofi trying to crawl his way back into this fight but even at his own peril.
[Michael] Yeah, Kofi Kingston has had a hell of a 2019.
He won the WWE Championship in WrestleMania this year.
He would hate to go out of 2019 losing the tag team gold, however.
[Graves] Kofi trying to fight back in this one on his own.
[Michael] Kingston on the top rope.
Oh, great innovation by Kingston!
Using the ladder like a teeter-totter
and taking advantage.
[Graves] Dawson and Wilder better check their mouth for teeth
after the impact from the ladder.
[Michael] Kofi Kingston never ceases to amaze, does he?
[crowd chanting] Kofi! Kofi! Kofi
[Graves] There are a few superstars in WWE who step up to the level of Kofi
night after night after night-- Boom! As we look once again.
Big E now finding his way back
and looking for a Stretch Muffler submission.
Can he power up Scott Dawson?
[Michael] And again, remember, there are no tap-outs in this matchup,
but you can debilitate your opponent
to the point where he cannot climb a ladder.
And that's what Big E may be trying to do here.
Wilder to the midsection.
Kingston with a shot to the ribs of his own.
[Graves] Scott Dawson's knee in bad shape
following the time spent in the submission.
Now New Day have the momentary advantage.
Once again, E looking for the Stretch Muffler.
It'll tear your knee apart.
[Michael] And Kingston using the ladder as a weapon.
It won't be the last time you see that happen tonight.
I guarantee you.
[crowd chanting] One more time! One more time!
[Michael] And the WWE fans here at the Target Center in Minneapolis
behind The New Day.
And Big E and Kofi looking to set up the ladder
and retrieve their championships.
[Graves] Smart strategy having Kofi, the much quicker man, make the climb.
Big E standing guard at the bottom.
[Michael] And now Dash Wilder's gonna drive Big E out of the ring.
Kofi Kingston halfway up the ladder.
Scott Dawson trying to run interference here.
[Graves] Dawson doing his best to tear Kofi off the ladder or tip the ladder,
anything to stop Kofi from grabbing the titles.
[Michael] Wilder trying to get involved as well.
And now the double team by The Revival.
Kofi Kingston, though, balancing on the top rope
and able to take out Dawson.
-[Graves] Wow! -[Michael] Absolutely incredible!
-And he's not done there. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Trouble in Paradise to Wilder.
[Graves] Now's the moment, Kofi.
The long way to go.
[Michael] That was absolutely incredible.
[Graves] Minneapolis is live right now.
[Michael] Kofi showing you the type of athlete he is
as he sets the ladder up,
looking to retain the Tag Team Championship.
How does Kofi do it?
Human highlight reel.
Kingston now climbing the ladder,
trying to make it up top.
Dawson back to his feet.
Scott Dawson and Kofi Kingston throwing fists midway up the ladder.
Oh, and a Shatter Machine!
And that could be the opening The Revival needs.
[Graves] Do The Revival have enough gas left in the tank
to make the climb up the ladder?
As we look at this breathtaking balance
from Kofi Kingston,
able to adjust on the top rope and deliver a tornado DDT.
Face-first goes Dawson.
And then, we've seen it so many times,
Trouble in Paradise connects.
[Michael] Yeah, but was it all for naught?
Because after the Shatter Machine,
The Revival have the ladder set up,
and Dawson and Wilder looking to win the tag team titles here tonight.
-[crowd booing] -[Graves] Big E is down.
Kofi Kingston is down.
Dawson and Wilder in the ring by themselves.
[Michael] But remember, Dawson's got that bad leg, Scott Dawson.
Big E now into the ring.
[Graves] Oh, man. Face-first into the post.
[Michael] And Wilder taken off the ladder as well,
and Big E sends Wilder outside to the apron.
And Big E's gonna launch himself.
What a spear!
[crowd cheering]
[Graves] Big E just eviscerated Dash Wilder with a hellacious spear
through the ropes to the floor.
Take another look at this impact.
[Michael] Bang, right to the ribs!
[Graves] Massive cannonball delts of Big E right to the ribs of Dash Wilder.
[Michael] It is amazing
what Big E and Kofi Kingston have put themselves through tonight
to try to retain their tag team titles.
[Graves] It's amazing, but it's absolutely necessary, Cole.
[Michael] Big E, again, using the ladder as a javelin.
And now Big E…
What on earth does he have in mind?
[Graves] Only Big E knows for sure.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] I guess that ladder wasn't good enough.
[Graves] Sometimes these matchups are limited only
by the competitors' imaginations.
Big E highly intelligent.
[crowd chanting]
[Michael] Still trying to figure out what he's doing here.
New Day are one of the, uh,
most innovative tag teams we've ever seen.
[Graves] Two massive ladders side by side,
I shudder to think what's going on in the brain of Big E right now.
[Michael] And Big E right back after Scott Dawson.
He was slowly making it back to his feet,
now driven into one of the ladders, face-first.
[Graves] I don't know what Big E's planning,
but I can assure you it will not end well for The Revival.
[Michael] I guess Big E wants, uh, yet another ladder in the ring.
A trio of ladders being set up
by Big E of The New Day.
[Graves] Overabundance of hardware in the center of the ring.
I don't know if Big E plans on using these three for climbing.
It's like an Erector Set.
[Michael] And Scott Dawson again trying
to crawl his way back to his feet and fight through this.
[grunting]
[Graves] Sharp body shots and one to the head from Big E connects,
fells Scott Dawson for the moment.
[Michael] What is going through the mind of Big E?
What is he trying to do here?
Oh!
[Graves] Logic would dictate Big E's trying to retain
the SmackDown Tag Team Championships,
but in doing so,
could do a great deal of damage to Scott Dawson.
This is not gonna be good.
[Michael] Well, Dawson's out.
Scott Dawson is out, face-first on the ladder.
Big E is climbing up now to the top rope.
Dash Wilder meeting him there, though, trying to save his partner.
Oh my God!
[Graves] Big E certainly not comfortable on the top rope,
and Wilder just saved Dawson for the moment.
[Michael] And now Scott Dawson turns his attention to Big E.
[Graves] Does Dawson have the power to hoist over Big E?
[Michael] Oh my God, suplex through the ladder!
Look at how the ladder was bent in half.
[Graves] Not entirely sure if that was from Big E's body or Scott Dawson,
or E might have completely missed the ladder.
[Michael] But look at the ladder though. It was some-- It was hit hard.
-[Graves] Someone-- -[Michael] There was impact.
[Graves] And this is gonna be worse.
[Michael] Wilder with a splash,
driving Big E this time through the ladder!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] This is just an example of what The Revival is capable of.
[Graves] Here's the first one.
Let's see how much of Big E actually connected it.
Looks like just E's left shoulder,
which could have been catastrophic, potentially.
[Michael] Yeah, but what-- look what it did to the ladder.
[Graves] And then look what Wilder does to Big E and the ladder.
Big splash from the top rope,
and Dawson now trying to make the climb.
[Michael] And Wilder as well, and it could just be a matter of moments
before The Revival win the tag team titles.
Big E is out after going through the ladder.
Kofi Kingston, though, launched himself off the top rope onto the ladder.
The cat-like ability of Kingston.
[Graves] Tomahawk chops to the crown of Scott Dawson's head.
[Michael] And Kofi's up there on a two-on-one situation
against Dawson and Wilder.
Kofi Kingston, though, on the wrong ladder,
the tag team titles are a long way away.
But now The Revival with Kofi Kingston caught.
Kofi's caught, but he's still fighting back.
[Graves] No quitting. Kofi Kingston whose face has just bounced
off the top of the ladder again, and again, and again.
[Michael] And Kofi Kingston now…
-[Graves] Kofi might be out cold. -[Michael] And he's defenseless.
Kofi Kingston's defenseless.
Meanwhile, Big E--
[Graves] Yeah, Wilder's got his hand on the titles.
[Michael] Well, Big E from behind,
Wilder was a fingertip away.
And now Big E with Wilder.
-[Graves] No, no, no. -[Michael] Big Ending off the ladder.
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Michael] A look of disbelief was on the face of Scott Dawson
as he watched his partner, Wilder, come off the ladder,
suffering a Big E at the-- a Big Ending at the hands of Big E.
[Graves] Yeah, but Dawson now continuing to climb.
Scott Dawson has the titles within reach.
[Michael] Dawson's almost there.
Dawson's got his hands on the titles.
The Revival are gonna win the tag team titles
for a fourth time here tonight.
Scott Dawson, and now Kofi Kingston, however,
using the titles to his advantage.
Dawson went face-- head-first off the ladder.
Scott Dawson crashing into the ladder.
[Graves] And the titles are swinging wildly.
Kofi Kingston starting to come to.
[Michael] And it's Kofi Kingston at the top of the ladder alone.
There are bodies strewn everywhere.
Kofi Kingston trying to grab the gold.
-Kingston's there, The New Day retains. -[bell rings]
-[crowd cheering] -["New Day, New Way" playing]
[Hamilton] Here are your winners
and still the SmackDown Tag Team Champions,
The New Day!
[Michael] Hell of a way to kick off the TLC pay-per-view event.
[Graves] Unbelievable effort from the reigning champions,
Kofi and Big E.
Both men, all four men for that matter,
willing to put their bodies through hell
just for the rights to be called SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
[Michael] An incredible effort here tonight
by not only The New Day
but the challengers, The Revival.
But in the end, The New Day celebrating the holidays
retaining the SmackDown tag team gold.
[Graves] Watch the athleticism of Kofi Kingston,
and then watch the reaction of Scott Dawson,
like he saw a ghost before his very eyes.
Kofi able to fight Dawson down.
And it would be this, boom!
Shot with the championship
that sends Scott Dawson careening through the ladder.
Once the title would slow down slowly for the moment,
Kofi grabs the carabiner, unlocks it,
and The New Day remain your SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
[Michael] We've sort of gotten used to that shot this year,
haven't we, of a very triumphant Kofi Kingston?
It's been a hell of a 2019 for Kofi and the rest of The New Day.
They retain the SmackDown tag team gold
here tonight.
["New Day, New Way" continues]
TLC is off to an exciting start,
and a huge congrats to The New Day
for retaining the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
And now please welcome my guest,
King Corbin.
[crowd booing]
[Kayla] King Corbin, tonight, you face Roman Reigns
in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
Now, after you embarrassed Roman by covering him in dog food,
we saw him unchained this past Friday on SmackDown.
Now that you've provoked The Big Dog,
are you concerned of the repercussions
of facing him in such a dangerous environment?
[laughs]
Do I look concerned?
Being concerned is, well, it's for peasants and nerds on Twitter.
And there's no place in my kingdom for people like that.
Roman Reigns thinks he's got the upper hand
because of what he did on SmackDown,
but I've got Roman Reigns just where I want him.
I've beaten him mentally.
Now tonight, I'm gonna beat him physically.
And the fun part is,
I'm gonna use tables, ladders, and chairs.
And I'm gonna show The Big Dog
who his master really is.
And he will bend the knee to his king.

[Vic] It's the final pay-per-view event of 2019.
Human demolition derby has come
to the Twin Cities' Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
And, well, it might be from SmackDown, guys,
but hats off to The New Day defending their SmackDown tag team titles.
[Samoa Joe] You know, a very impressive victory,
a very, very incredible match,
and, you know, congratulations to them.
Well, what a way to start things off here at TLC,
but how about the way we kicked things off earlier tonight
on the kickoff show here for Tables, Ladders, and Chairs?
It was a rematch from Monday Night Raw.
It was Humberto Carrillo taking on Andrade.
What a matchup it absolutely was.
You're talking about a rematch.
It was high stakes for both these superstars.
And Humberto Carrillo once again was able to stand tall.
[Samoa Joe] You know, uh, momentum means such an important thing
as a WWE superstar.
And after this victory, Humberto Carrillo has definitely
a lot of momentum going forward.
[Vic] Well, this is how things would change the complexion
of this matchup because Carrillo picked up a victory,
let's not forget, this past week on Monday Night Raw.
But here tonight with Andrade,
so focused on wanting to bounce back,
it was Humberto Carrillo, King, who pulled out all the stops.
[Jerry] Without a doubt.
-Look at this. -[Vic] Boom!
[Jerry] Man, I've never seen a move like that. That was awesome.
And Humberto wasn't finished there.
-[Vic] And certainly was not, King… -[Jerry] Watch this.
[Vic] …because Humberto Carrillo would take to the skies
and hit this perfect moonsault to put away Andrade once again,
and the WWE Universe still talking about the dissension.
[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait. It's so nice.
-Let's look at it twice. -[Vic] It certainly was.
Look at the height, to your point, Samoa Joe,
the rotation, the landing, but it was a win.
And as I was saying, it's what happened afterwards,
the dissension, the cracks being shown between Andrade and Zelina.
[Samoa Joe] You know, obviously, there's a little bit of dissension
in team Andrade, but, you know, this is a battle-tested combination.
You know, I think they might get through this.
[Jerry] I don't know.
I think we may be seeing another, uh,
well, Rusev and Lana situation developing here.
[Vic] We'll see Rusev and Lana later on tonight
in a Tables match here at TLC.
But let's get ready for our first Raw matchup
here from Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
["Strike You Down" playing]

[Hamilton] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

into the next era,
you're talking about these two gentlemen right here.
[Vic] Look at Buddy Murphy.
[Jerry] He's mocking Aleister Black right now.
That may be a big mistake.
["Root Of All Evil" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] It may be my favorite entrance of all time right now.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Oh.
[Rome] And his opponent, from Amsterdam, Netherlands,
weighing in at 215 pounds,
Aleister Black!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And there you see Aleister Black making his way.
And, again, this match presented by WWE SuperCard Season 6.
Aleister Black debuted in Season 5,
and since, over 720,000 cards collected
of Aleister Black, but that's an impressive number.
-Buddy Murphy doesn't seem too impressed. -[Samoa Joe] No, he doesn't.
But you know what? What you should be impressed with is this matchup right here.
As a matter of fact, in my humble opinion,
this could quite possibly steal the entire night.
[Vic] Let's not forget, you can download WWE SuperCard for free
on iOS and Android.
[Jerry] Well, you're right about this match maybe stealing the night
because here's something a lot of people may not realize,
-both of these men are undefeated… -[Samoa Joe] Whoa!
[Jerry] …since being drafted to Monday Night Raw.
And look at this. Look at this.
[Samoa Joe] And only space and wicked intentions in between them.
[singer] ♪ No man is ever truly good ♪
♪ No man is every truly evil ♪
♪ I do the things you never could ♪
♪ And we won't ever be equal ♪
[Vic] And you can feel the anticipation, guys,
building here inside the Target Center.
-[bell rings] -[Vic] Murphy and Black.
Black looking for Black Mass right off rip.
Whoa, come on now.
[Samoa Joe] Aleister Black out here headhunting immediately, and rightly so.
[Jerry] Buddy Murphy a little too smart for that.
[Vic] Well, Murphy trying to bait Black outside,
and now Black coming right back in, and Murphy taking out Black.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Now, early on in this matchup, Joe, I'll ask you,
does Black have the striking advantage, in your opinion?
-Cover. -[Samoa Joe] You know, one would think so.
But when you're talking about an athlete like Buddy Murphy…
-[Vic] Oh, another cover. -[Samoa Joe] …he's the type of guy
that can get momentum going, be really, really quick,
and he could match you skill set for skill set.
-[Jerry] Oh, yeah. -[Samoa Joe] So it remains to be seen
if he does have that striking advantage tonight.
[Jerry] You know, you say, match each other skill set for skill set,
what we've witnessed here in the first few seconds in this match,
these guys look so evenly matched.
-[Samoa Joe] Whoa. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Oh, it's Buddy Murphy who knocked on Aleister Black's door.
[Jerry] Wow.
[crowd chattering]
[Samoa Joe] And the mind games continue.
[Vic] And Black more than willing to answer the challenge of Buddy Murphy.
[Samoa Joe] I mean, I don't see what choice you have.
You kick him in the face immediately.
[Vic] Murphy seems a little taken aback, but--
[Jerry] Oh, he tried.
[Vic] There's those mind games you were talking about, Joe.
And a nice arm drag by Aleister Black.
[Samoa Joe] He waited too long.
[Vic] Black now controlling Murphy early on in this matchup.
And look, both these superstars, King, to your point,
have picked up impressive victories.
Aleister Black undefeated, Buddy Murphy has had quite a run
here on Monday Night Raw as of recent weeks.
[Jerry] That's right. Both these men undefeated,
so it's gonna be a major setback to somebody here tonight.
[Vic] And, Joe, when you take a look at this matchup,
you really start to look towards 2020
because a win for one of these two superstars is a huge…
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Vic] …momentum-building victory.
What a knee to the jaw.
Joe, what a knee to the jaw of Aleister Black.
[Jerry] Wow.
-[Samoa Joe] But look at the resilience. -[Vic] And Black able to counter but, man.
And you see for a moment,
Aleister Black trying to get some feeling back into that jaw.
-That was quite the knee strike. -[Samoa Joe] No, absolutely.
And it's no secret, Aleister Black has a tremendous kickboxing pedigree.
The issue is Buddy Murphy has just as lethal of knees.
[Vic] Oh, pick up momentum heading into the New Year.
And, again, looking for a kick, counter, but another elbow
to the side of the face of Aleister Black by Buddy Murphy.
-[Vic and Samoa Joe] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, man, oh, man.
[Vic] Well, Joe, there's that striking ability of Aleister Black.
Pinpoint precision.
And Black now, answers with a third kick, rocking Murphy to the canvas.
[Samoa Joe] If you were gonna train for that, you would have somebody
swing baseball bats at you.
[Jerry] I'd be calling time-out right now.
[Vic] Well, there is no time-out, and now look at Aleister Black.
Almost like a light switch just went off in his mind.
[Jerry] I don't know if you realized this, but Aleister Black has members
of his family tattooed on his body.
[Vic] Well, Black putting on the brakes,
just waiting for Murphy, and another elbow.
[Jerry] Scary thing, I think that might be his mom on his back.
[Vic] Up and over goes Murphy.
-Nice leg trip. -[Jerry] Oh!
[Vic] Back to that backgrounding as we're talking about
when it comes to Aleister Black.
[Samoa Joe] Very, very deceptive. I mean,
this guy can change levels with his strikes,
I mean, he can hit you from anywhere.
[Vic] Black now measuring Buddy Murphy.
[Jerry] Oh, don't turn around, buddy, you won't like the view.
-[grunts] Oh. Whoa, wait, caught. -[Vic] Murphy sidesteps.
Murphy now, face-first into the post,
and now into the steel steps goes Aleister Black.
And remember the jaw.
[Samoa Joe] And that right there is
the athleticism that makes up the skill difference.
[Vic] Buddy Murphy now…
able to slow the pace of this matchup,
and, Joe, is this the type of pace Murphy wants
against a superstar like Aleister Black?
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. This is the game plan,
take Aleister Black into deep water,
keep pushing on him, and drown him slow.
[Vic] And another forearm underneath the jaw.
Remember, it was the knee early on in the matchup…
-[Jerry] Watch out. -[Vic] …from Buddy Murphy
that caught Aleister Black right under the jaw
and then following it up after eating the post.
Aleister Black face-first right into the solid steel steps.
[Jerry] Yeah, it looks like Buddy Murphy has things going his way
for the moment.
[Samoa Joe] And Vic, he-- he's touching that jaw an awful lot.
[Vic] Now, there is a target on the face of Aleister Black on his jaw.
And look at Buddy Murphy grinding away on Aleister Black.
And now, again, King, mocking Black is Murphy.
[Jerry] Yeah, I still don't think that's a very good idea.
That definitely will come back to haunt you.
[Vic] Well, Joe, I'll ask you, do you credit the Australian
for his cockiness here in this matchup?
-[Samoa Joe] Absolutely and-- -[Jerry] Whoa, whoa.
-[Vic] Aleister Black… -[Samoa Joe] Whoa, wait a minute.
-[Vic] …looking to turn things around. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, no, no, no.
[Vic] But Murphy able to counter, and Murphy--
[Samoa Joe] Grinding down on that-- down on that cheek.
[Vic] Right back into the jaw, and now Murphy having his way,
just stretching Aleister Black out.
And again, that confidence just growing now in Buddy Murphy.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. And, Vic, I want you to pay attention right now.
Look at Aleister Black's jaw. Look at him. This guy is in shape.
He should not be breathing with his mouth open.
His mouth is open because that jaw's hurt.
[Jerry] Well, if you ask me, it looks like Buddy Murphy has had
the answer to everything that Aleister Black has tried
here tonight, including-- Look at the-- Look at that nose.
He may have broken that nose.
[Samoa Joe] I've been telling you for weeks,
Buddy Murphy knows what he's doing out there.
He called out Aleister Black for a reason.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Swing and a miss by Black, charges back in.
-Murphy able to stay. -[Samoa Joe] Wow!
-[Vic] And again, jaw-- -[Samoa Joe] Right on his jaw.
[Vic] Jaw-first goes Aleister Black.
-[crowd chattering] -Come on. [mumbles]
[Vic] And Buddy Murphy methodically now starting
to pick apart Aleister in this matchup.
[Jerry] Oh, look out, guys.
-Coming this way. -[Vic] Whoa!
Well, upon very, very close inspection,
I can certify that that jaw is very, very messed up.
[Jerry] And I'll tell you this, without a doubt,
the nose of Aleister Black is broken.
-[Vic] King, look at Buddy Murphy. -[Jerry] Oh no.
[Samoa Joe] I'll say I don't know about this.
[crowd chattering]
[Jerry] Guys, I'm telling you, look, he's right here in front of us.
Aleister Black's nose is broken.
[Samoa Joe] If Daddy taught me anything, it's if you fight a devil,
you don't stop until they're gone.
[Jerry] I think Buddy Murphy thought Aleister Black was--
[Vic] Whoa!
Watch out, King, with a foot right to the face.
Murphy now rocked. Black's starting to fire back.
And to your point, Joe, Aleister Black has stepped it back up.
Going in for a sleeper.
[Samoa Joe] The reverse momentum.
[Vic] Buddy Murphy trying to hold on,
continuing to try to squeeze on the jaw of Aleister Black.
But Black right now is going-- Oh, and another kick to the face.
[Jerry] You guys aren't saying anything about that great catch
I made with my face.
-[Vic] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, man.
There's another face catch.
[Vic] And Murphy caught the foot of Aleister Black.
But you saw the rage build in front of you, Joe,
of Aleister Black right here in front of us.
-[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. -[Jerry] Look, look, look.
[Samoa Joe] But can Aleister capitalize? Okay. His jaw is jacked right now.
He-- He's stumbling around. His mouth is a mess.
Do you think that he can get up
and he can capitalize on this one key moment?
[Vic] Well, you talked about putting the devil down,
you got to keep them down. And Aleister Black is moving.
Buddy Murphy back to his feet.
[Jerry] Guys, you talk about Aleister's jaw,
but he can barely breathe because his nose is broken.
-Do you not see it? -[Vic] Oh!
Well, nose broken or not, Black continuing to fight back.
Another block. And look at Aleister Black getting his left hand up
to block any shots to the jaw.
-And now going to the body. -[Samoa Joe] Great bodywork.
[Vic] And right back to work goes Buddy Murphy slowing down Black.
[Jerry] Like I said, Buddy Murphy has an answer to everything so far.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely.
He's countered everything that's been thrown out by Aleister Black.
[Vic] And speaking of counters, look at Aleister Black now countering Murphy,
taking Murphy down. Basement kick, the Shining Wizard connects.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Holding that jaw.
Aleister Black, though, cannot afford many more shots
to his face, jaw, or nose.
-[Vic] Black has been out the pain. -[Samoa Joe] Whoa.
[Vic] Murphy up and over. Kick connects.
Murphy rocked.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Vic] Oh, what a knee into the jaw!
Aleister Black, moonsault, cover to put Buddy Murphy away at TLC.
[Jerry] Did he get it? No.
[Vic] And Murphy inside shoulder up at two.
[Jerry] And Murphy is in trouble right now.
Aleister Black needs, if he can,
to stay focused and keep that momentum going,
but I'm telling you, guys, Aleister's hurting bad.
[Samoa Joe] And that's the operative term, "if he can."
[Jerry] Look at his nose.
Ugh!
[Samoa Joe] Buddy Murphy has pushed in Aleister's fronts,
and he's not looking too strong out there.
[Vic] We have seen this in the past.
Aleister Black letting Murphy think about it,
but Murphy able to counter and an elbow.
Murphy rocked all the way to the outside.
[Jerry] I've always believed this,
there's nothing that gets your adrenaline going like seeing your own blood.
[Vic] What's on the mind now?
What is on the mind of Aleister Black?
Buddy Murphy knocked on Aleister Black's door.
Murphy and Aleister Black here.
What a match at TLC.
[Samoa Joe] I believe we call this looking for vengeance.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Vic] Oh!
-Another pump kick onto that jaw. -[Jerry] Man, oh, man.
[Vic] Murphy trying to follow up now.
And Murphy spine-first into the post.
These two superstars bringing
-their A-game here tonight. -[Samoa Joe] Watch Black, watch Black.
-[Jerry] Whoa! -[Vic] Moonsault connects.
Black got all of it.
And Aleister Black quickly now trying to capitalize on Buddy Murphy.
What a huge victory this would be for Aleister Black.
Setting Murphy up, jump, and knee connects.
Murphy may be out. Black into the cover.
Hook of the leg. Is it enough? And Murphy, again, kicks out at two.
[Samoa Joe] Which is incredible
because that was-- you could not hit that knee any cleaner.
[Jerry] And now the frustration is starting to build, but watch this.
-[Vic] One more look at this. Boom! -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Vic] That clean shot, Joe, to your point, under the jaw.
Give credit to Buddy Murphy at this point.
[Samoa Joe] Well, I mean, if you doubt this man's toughness, you're a fool.
He's out there. I mean,
many people in this world wouldn't get up from that kind of thing.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
-[Vic] Aleister Black… -[Jerry] Tough.
[Vic] …who has answered the call of Buddy Murphy.
And now looking for a submission is Aleister Black.
Nice counter by Buddy Murphy.
Murphy gets countered right back into the pole--
or right into the turnbuckle.
What a kick, like we saw earlier in the matchup.
[Samoa Joe] Powerful, powerful legs.
[Jerry] I don't see how Aleister Black is being able to mount
this kind of offense right now.
He's barely able to breathe, I can assure you.
You guys ever had a broken nose?
You can't breathe. Oh.
[Vic] But somehow blocking out the pain is Aleister Black,
who has had some strikes, and another striking kick on display.
[Jerry] Man, that may have knocked Buddy Murphy unconscious.
[Samoa Joe] Devastating up there.
[Vic] And now Aleister Black looking to take Buddy Murphy for a ride,
but Murphy doing everything to fight his way free.
-[Jerry] Oh no. -[Vic] Murphy looking for that powerbomb.
-[Jerry] Aleister hangs on. -[Vic] Oh no.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. -[Vic] Superkick.
[Samoa Joe] That does not bode well for that grille.
[Vic] Again to the jaw. Again to the possible broken nose.
-That's the second kick. -[Samoa Joe] Neither does that.
-[Vic] Third kick. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Murphy lighting up Black.
-[Jerry] We may have to stop this thing. -[Vic] And now powerbomb.
That's got to be it.
Buddy Murphy-- No!
What a kickout from Aleister Black.
[Jerry] This is unbelievable. How do these guys do this?
Do you have what it takes, buddy? Do you have what it takes?
[Vic] Look, such a huge match for both these superstars
to start to stake claim of dominance on Monday Night Raw.
[Jerry] Look at these kicks.
How did that not finish off Aleister Black?
-[Vic] Well, not only the kicks, King… -[Jerry] And this, yeah.
[Vic] …how about this powerbomb, center of the ring,
Black somehow kicks out at two and a half?
[Samoa Joe] And the story is that repeated abuse to that jaw.
Can Aleister Black hold out?
[Jerry] Oh my gosh.
I'm sure that he is-- Buddy Murphy has got to be thinking,
"What do I have to do to get a win over Aleister Black?"
"Do I have what it takes?"
[Samoa Joe] All he needs to do is believe in himself. Do what he's doing right now.
[Vic] Oh no. Maybe Murphy looking for that--
You wanted a fight, huh? You wanted a fight?
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Vic] Looking for that knockout blow.
-[Jerry] Wait, wait. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, he caught-- he caught.
[Vic] Black able to counter the knee.
Murphy, though, grabbing the jaw back. Elbow rocked Murphy.
-Black got caught with a Superkick. -[Jerry] Oh! That's it.
-That's got to be it. -[Vic] Murphy getting follow-up,
jumping knee rocked Black to one leg, and another knee.
-Black's got to be out. -[Samoa Joe] Get in there, ref.
[Vic] Murphy, power, brainbuster, center of the ring.
[Jerry] Good night, nurse.
[Vic] Cover by Murphy to put Black away at TLC.
[Jerry] He's got him. No, he doesn't get him.
-[Vic] And another kickout. -[Jerry] This is unbelievable.
[Vic] How in the heck did Black kick out?
[Samoa Joe] I don't even think Aleister Black knows.
[Jerry] Buddy Murphy asking the referee,
"Are you sure?"
"Are you certain that wasn't a three-count?"
[crowd chattering]
[Vic] What a barrage of offense…
-[Samoa Joe] And I have to-- -[Vic] …by Buddy Murphy.
[Samoa Joe] If you're Buddy Murphy right now,
the frustration's starting to set in. You need to cool it down,
you need to figure out your next strategy, and just keep the pressure on.
[Vic] King, two knees, Superkick, brainbuster,
Aleister Black's still moving.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, I think, though, that Aleister Black is in a position
where it's like he--
all he can do right now is try to avoid getting beat.
Look at his nose, completely out of joint.
[Samoa Joe] You know, right now, a bit of mutual respect looking across the ring.
[Jerry] Man, something's got to give now.
Something's got to give.
[Vic] And Aleister Black now sweeping through the bottom,
able to connect with a back elbow, lighting up Buddy Murphy.
Ducks one, Murphy blocks two.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Vic] Goes to the body.
Look at the offense of Buddy Murphy.
-[Jerry] On the foot. Look out. -[Samoa Joe] Watch out.
[Vic] Black Mass. Black Mass out of nowhere.
-[Jerry] He caught him. -[Vic] Cover.
-[crowd] One, two, three. -[Vic] Got him.
-[Samoa Joe] That's all it takes. -[Vic] …on Buddy Murphy.
[Jerry] He jacked his jaw.
[Rome] Here is your winner, Aleister Black!
[Jerry] He jacked the jaw of Aleister Black.
[Vic] Guys--
[Jerry] This is what I'm talking about-- about Aleister Black's jaw.
Aleister jacked the jaw of Buddy Murphy.
[Vic] How sudden was Aleister Black with that Black Mass?
[Samoa Joe] Beyond sudden. And that's the great equalizer.
Because at any point in time, Aleister Black could put your lights out.
[Jerry] Guys, that was every bit the war that we all thought it was gonna be,
and then some.
[Samoa Joe] I had high hopes for this matchup going in.
And I have to admit, I believe they were met.
[Vic] Guys, Buddy Murphy was absolutely on fire.
First, the jumping, and then bam, that knee under the already injured jaw,
and then the power and the planning of Buddy Murphy.
I mean, Murphy had this match,
I believe won if you thought you were in the WWE Universe,
but Aleister Black was able to kick out.
And then look at this flurry of offense.
[Jerry] Yeah. Buddy Murphy just kept it going.
-[Vic] Boom! -[Jerry] But then, bang, out of nowhere.
-[Vic] One more look. Black Mass. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Samoa Joe] And, listen, this is a huge victory for Aleister Black,
but we can't discount what this did for Buddy Murphy's stock tonight.
[Jerry] Like I said, we knew it was gonna be a war,
and it was, and then some.
-[Vic] What a match for Buddy Murphy. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Vic] But you look into the soul, you look into the eyes of Aleister Black,
and all he is continuing to ask the Raw roster is,
come pick a fight with him.
[Jerry] No, thanks.
And with that victory by Aleister Black, one has to wonder if Buddy Murphy regrets
ever knocking on his opponent's door.
And now please welcome my guest.
He is getting ready for a very personal Tables match
against Bobby Lashley,
Rusev.
[crowd cheering]
-Rusev, now, I don't… -Charly.
…mean to push any buttons with this question,
but what is your reaction to hearing last week
that Bobby Lashley plans to propose to your now ex-wife, Lana?
My reactions?
Well, I'm-- I'm elated.
By law, when my ex-wife remarries,
I don't have to pay alimony, so there you have it.
Well, I suppose that is a reason to be in good spirits.
I'm in great spirits, Charly.
And it's just that I feel free after months and months
of being harassed by Lana and her hot, hot boyfriend, Bobby.
I finally get to face him tonight in a Tables match,
where the only rule is to drive your opponent through a table.
So, whatever dinner reservation Lana had for tonight or exquisite vacations,
she might as well cancel them
because the only thing she will do for the rest of the night is
pick out splinters off Bobby's back.
I'm back, baby. I am back! Rusev is back.
And I may be single, but I'm not alone,
because every day is…
[crowd] Rusev day.
…Rusev day.
[crowd cheering]
-[suspenseful music playing] -[controller 1] Houston Mission Control.
-[controller 2] Go ahead, Houston Control. -[controller 1] T minus 15 seconds.
This is control.
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine--
Ignition sequence started.

[narrator] Nobody does the holidays like WWE…
The holiday spirit is here. Ho ho ho ho!
[narrator] …and nothing makes the season brighter than gifts from wweshop.com.
[Hogan] I'm gonna be giving presents to you, the WWE Universe.
[narrator] So, this holiday season, deck the halls…
[Stone Cold] I got a little Christmas present for you myself.
[narrator] …with stunning gifts.
Find what fits them,
and find what fits you.
We're at TLC, final pay-per-view of 2019.
How about The Road to WrestleMania beginning in Houston?
Are you kidding me? This is awesome. What a time of year this is.
-So exciting. -It certainly is exciting.
But the WWE Universe, guys, we've been talking about, well,
a group of superstars, the AOP and Seth Rollins and--
Well, let's go back to this week on Monday Night Raw
and show you exactly why.
It was Kevin Owens who was on a manhunt for AOP.
Come on!
[Jerry] He felt they were inside that limousine.
He knew there was somebody in there.
Come on, huh? You in there?
[Jerry] And watch this.
[Vic] Kevin Owens certainly would find AOP
as Akam and Rezar would give
a rude welcoming to Kevin Owens.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Vic] From behind, AOP sneak attack and the beat down of Kevin Owens, King.
[Jerry] Yeah, there was someone in that limousine, but it wasn't AOP.
They were waiting on the attack.
Oh, what a vicious attack.
[Kevin groans]
[Jerry] Man.
[Vic] But then it would be revealed, too,
who exactly was the man sitting in the van.
-[crowd chattering, booing] -[Vic] Seth Rollins.
I'm sorry.
-[yells] -[Jerry] Oh!
[Vic] And King, the WWE Universe left with more questions than answers
after what we witnessed.
["War" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Rome] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Raw Tag Team Champions,
Erik and Ivar,
The Viking Raiders!
[Vic] And while there might be questions surrounding what happened
to Seth Rollins and AOP, there is no doubt that you are looking at,
and there's no question really about who's the most dominate tag team in--
on Monday Night Raw.
And, guys, this match presented by KFC.
-And sitting at ringside, courtesy of KFC… -[Jerry] What?
[Vic] …four lucky fans were given the ultimate fan experience.
It looks like, guys, they're enjoying a KFC $20 fill up bucket meal
complete with KFC's original recipe, chicken made with 11 herbs and spices.
-Thank you, KFC… -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Vic] …for giving these fans the best seat in the house.
[Jerry] Best seat in the house is right.
Hey, throw one of those drumsticks over here.
Last week,
we threw down the gauntlet
and dared any team
to try and take our championships.
We dominated then,
and tonight, we are prepared
to destroy.
So now…
-let the raid begin. -Let the raid begin.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Well, we saw the open challenge on Monday.
It was answered by The Street Profits.
-Who is it gonna be, Joe? -[Samoa Joe] You know, I don't know.
You know, I have to say, these guys are very, very polite Vikings.
I mean, most of the time, Vikings, you know,
they'd never announce that they're about to plunder and beat people up.
[Jerry] Well, this-- because this is Viking country.
-Minnesota, right? -[Vic] It certainly is, King. Yes.
And you can hear the capacity crowd here in the Target Center
behind The Viking Raiders.
But who accepts the open challenge?
["Emergence" playing]
[Jerry chuckles] Well…
is this our answer?
[Vic] Certainly looks that way, King.
The best tag team in the world.
[Jerry chuckles] Oh, man.
"Big LG" Gallows, looky here.
The Viking Raiders are issuing an open challenge.
[Gallows] An open challenge?
That is oh so lameski.
-[laughs] -Yeah, it's lame.
It's lame, just like Minneapolis.
-[crowd booing] -[Jerry] Uh-oh. "Lameski"?
[Samoa Joe] The "ski" makes it worse.
And let me tell you why it's lame.
Because there's only one tag team in the world
that's beat The Viking Raiders.
Oh, oh, you mean, Gallows and Anderson,
repping OC, the best tag team in the world?
And we got a trophy to prove it! Look at this beautiful trophy!
-I love it. -You don't have a trophy!
I love it!
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] They do have a trophy.
But this isn't just about us challenging for the Raw tag team titles, no.
No. It's about you avenging your only loss,
and it's about us defending our position
as the best tag team in the world.
See you, baby.
-[Samoa Joe] Ho ho. -[Jerry] Oh, man, this is--
This is gonna happen, guys.
[Samoa Joe] They may be Good Brothers, but they're two bad dudes.
[Vic] Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows getting under the skin of Erik and Ivar.
Joe, is that-- is that a wise decision by The OC?
[Samoa Joe] You know, normally, under normal circumstances,
I'd say it's The OC playing their trademark mind games,
but with these two individuals, it may be a mistake.
[Vic] Well, we're set for Tag Team Championship action here at TLC.
The OC looking for their third Raw tag team title reign.
They've already alluded to the trophy in which they hold
after winning the longest Tag Team Gauntlet match
in WWE history at Crown Jewel.
As Erik will start things off for The Viking Raiders.
[Jerry] And we got OC at TLC,
and they got some KFC at ringside. Like, this is great.
[Vic] You're really excited about that KFC, aren't you, King?
-[Jerry] Yes, absolutely. My favorite. -[Vic] Now Erik--
Erik right now just pushing back Karl Anderson,
and Anderson right now into the headlock.
And, you know, you think about The OC, this is an open challenge,
so who is favored in this tag team match, in your opinion, Joe?
[Samoa Joe] You know, it's obviously The OC.
I mean, they kind of have the idea what the battleground they're walking in--
onto is, but The Viking Raiders don't have that luxury.
[Vic] OC sure has planned this since it was announced
the open challenge would be made
by The Viking Raiders earlier this week on WWE Digital.
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Vic] Anderson taken down, turns back around, and gets caught.
-And Erik now grounding. -[Jerry] Oh…
[Vic] And it looks like Anderson gets planted face-first.
[Jerry] It's hard to keep your footing when you're in there with Erik.
-Look at this guy. -[Samoa Joe] Incredible power.
You know, the thing is, you know, Erik, he kind of represents the Rangers.
He's the scouting party.
It's when we bring in big old Ivar. Here comes the war.
[Vic] And there are our four lucky fans getting the ultimate fan experience,
courtesy of KFC,
and they are getting an up-close look at the Raw Tag Team Champions,
The Viking Raiders.
Viking Raiders!
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Have they seen the KFC at ringside yet?
[Vic] I don't think they have, but I got a little--
-[Jerry] It won't be safe. -[Vic] …soon enough.
-[crowd chanting] Skol! Skol! Skol! Skol! -[groans]
[Vic] And there, as you mentioned, Viking country, King, here in Minneapolis,
behind Erik and Ivar, who have just raided,
in their own words, Joe, the tag team division on Monday Night Raw.
I mean, it's coming to the point
that they're having to issue open challenges.
[Samoa Joe] You know, raiding is what you do
when you first show up. They have conquered.
[Jerry] Yeah. But, guys, come on.
Speaking of conquering, they're in there tonight with The OC.
They are the best tag team in the world.
In the world.
And I think that, uh, The Viking Raiders are in this world.
[Vic] How about this idea from one-half of the best tag team in the world…
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Vic] …didn't pay off, as Ivar showcasing his strength.
Tag made. In comes Erik.
And look at the tag team offense on display.
[Jerry] Oh no. No, don't do this. Oh!
[Samoa Joe] They may be the best in the world,
but they're getting taken to the woodshed.
[Vic] Erik into the cover to retain the titles
and a kickout at two by Karl Anderson.
Viking Raiders--
[Jerry] Hope Karl Anderson hadn't already eaten some of that fried chicken.
[Vic] We see some of the chicken, mashed potatoes.
[Jerry] Mashed potatoes?
[Vic] Everything you want out there by KFC.
[Jerry] Watch out.
[Vic] And off the distraction, Erik dropped to the outside
right at the feet of Luke Gallows. And Gallows now--
-Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Vic] Six-eight shoe kicks under the jaw.
[Jerry] Man, oh, man.
-[Samoa Joe] Ooh… -[Vic] Talk about--
[Samoa Joe] Luke Gallows is throwing around
hand bones on this side of the ring.
[Vic] Talk about changing the complexion of a matchup.
Karl Anderson to the outside, and spine-first goes Erik.
[Jerry] After that kick, he may not be able to eat fried chicken.
He'll have to suck soup through a straw for a week.
[Vic] Tag Team Championship's on the line.
Only way for The OC to regain the gold, pinfall, submission inside the ring.
Anderson with the cover, and a kickout.
[Jerry] Guys, can you just imagine if tonight,
The OC becomes not only the best tag team in the world
but the Raw Tag Team Champions?
That would be unbelievable.
[Vic] Oh, yeah, King, can you imagine what would be said by The OC,
and even AJ Styles, who noted it's time,
Joe, to get back to OC business?
[Samoa Joe] Oh, and I think winning tonight would be definitely
keeping on track when it comes to OC business.
[Jerry] This would break the internet, I guarantee you.
[Vic] Erik trying to build some momentum and just got dropped with a spinebuster.
Are the titles gonna change hands?
Anderson into the cover and a kickout at two.
Wow, having to dig down was Erik
after that brutalizing spinebuster.
Tag was made, and in comes Gallows.
[Jerry] Oh, here comes the big man. Ooh.
[Samoa Joe] There's something about guys named Anderson and spinebusters,
let me tell you.
[Vic] And now going right back to the body.
There's those hand bones you were talking about, Joe.
Oh.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, that was a full-course meal.
[Vic] Not many times you see Erik get dropped after an uppercut.
The powerful strikes of Gallows.
And speaking of power, suplex.
And Gallows picking up steam, dropping the elbow.
Cover. Are we about to see The OC win a gold for the fourth time?
And another kickout by Erik.
[Samoa Joe] You know, and Luke Gallows is 100% bruiser.
[Vic] Look at these elbows. You're speaking of--
Talk about bruising, Joe.
Look at the elbows, into the headlock,
and you were talking about grinding opponents down
earlier tonight, Joe.
That is what Gallows is doing now to Erik.
[Samoa Joe] And the formula is very simple.
It's grab, smash, and mangle,
and that's exactly what Luke Gallows excels at.
[Jerry] And when you get a guy the size and the weight of Luke Gallows
laying on you, putting all his weight,
all that pressure on the top of your head,
whew, that makes a big difference.
[Vic] Well, speaking of size, you saw Ivar pacing on the outside.
The big man wants back into the ring here at TLC.
-Raw tag team-- -[Jerry] And wait a minute.
I think Ivar just realized there's fried chicken at ringside.
[Vic] Oh, he also realizes the tag team titles are on the line.
What a kick. And Erik again gets dropped.
Tag is made. In comes Anderson,
quickly realizing, goes into the cover.
And another kickout. Wow.
[Samoa Joe] When it comes to Luke Gallows, you'll find…
-[Vic] Wow. -[Samoa Joe] …no better redneck kung fu,
-let me tell you. -[Jerry laughs]
[Vic] Well, redneck kung fu almost brought the gold back
around the waist to The OC for the fourth time.
We're the best tag team in the world!
[Vic] Oh, Erik had enough of that, did not wanna hear it from Anderson.
[Jerry] Oh, what a shot.
[Vic] Erik in the wrong part of town trying to fight his way out of OC country.
-[Jerry] No, no, no, no. -[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Reaching out. -[Jerry] Oh, a little further.
[Vic] And again, Erik up and over, rolls through.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Vic] And here comes Ivar.
[Jerry] Oh no.
[Vic] And the big fella bulldozing down Karl Anderson.
-And once Ivar gets moving, King… -[Jerry] No.
[Vic] …we've seen he's a tough guy to stop.
[Jerry] Oh no, look at this.
-[Vic] Overhead toss. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Vic] Anderson landing awkwardly on his right knee.
Gallows taken care of.
Up and planted, center of the ring.
No wasted motion by Ivar.
[Ivar yells]
[Jerry] Quick, Luke, wave a drumstick.
Distract him.
[Vic] Well, Ivar is focusing on one thing, Karl Anderson.
-Able to sidestep and then boom! -[Samoa Joe laughs]
[Vic] Throw that weight around.
And look at the burly man throwing his hands around now.
Burly and dangerous is Ivar.
[Jerry] Oh, look out here.
Whoa.
-[Samoa Joe] The agility. -[Jerry] What?
That looked like Ric Flair.
[Vic] Well, you talk about agility, Joe…
Ivar looking to fly.
[Jerry] Oh no. You're kidding me.
-Will those ropes hold him? -[Samoa Joe] Oh, watch out.
[Vic] Karl Anderson from the outside.
And that's a veteran tag team in The OC,
as Anderson makes the tag, back in comes Gallows.
[Jerry] Ivar flew for a second, but he didn't like the landing.
[Vic] OC tag team tandem offense.
-We might have new champions… -[Samoa Joe] Here it is.
[Vic] …here at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
Hook of the leg and a kickout at two.
So close to new Tag Team Champions.
[Jerry] That was all Ivar. He had no help, somehow.
[Vic] Tag.
[Samoa Joe] Incredible durability by The OC.
I mean, to survive that onslaught to be where they are right now,
that tells you just how good these men are.
[Jerry] Well, they're the best tag team in the world.
-[Vic] Wait a minute. -[Jerry] Oh, God.
-[Vic] Look at the athleticism. -[Jerry] What?
[Vic] Ivar pulling out all the stops.
Caught Anderson square, just was able to graze Gallows.
-[Samoa Joe] Better watch out. -[Vic] Looking for the…
[Samoa Joe] It's dangerous in this part of the woods.
-[Vic] …Viking Experience. -[Jerry] Oh no.
[Vic] Cover by Erik.
-Titles are on the line. -[Jerry] No, no, look out.
[Vic] And Gallows just broke things up.
[Jerry] You talk about just in the nick of time.
-Oh, what a shot. -[Vic] Milliseconds.
-Milliseconds away. -[Jerry] Another shot.
-[Samoa Joe] Yup. -[Vic] Oh!
-[Samoa Joe] Big bomb. -[Vic] Big bomb, indeed.
Gallows just got kicked right in the face
-and answering back with a big boot. -[Samoa Joe] Brings the heat right back.
[Jerry] Gallows is on fire here.
[Vic] What a Tag Team Championship matchup here at TLC.
Open challenge issued by The Viking Raiders.
But guys, remember, titles can only change hands inside the ring.
[Jerry] Watch it.
A lot of carnage around the ring, and-- Oh boy.
[Vic] And Erik up and over the barricade.
[Samoa Joe] And I believe…
-[Vic] The referee now is at six. -[Samoa Joe] …the Raiders are outnumbered.
[Vic] The Raiders indeed are outnumbered. Referee at seven.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Vic] Incoming Ivar wipes out The OC.
-Referee is at eight. -Nine.
-[Vic] Now the referee's at nine. -[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait.
-[Vic] Both teams still on the outside. -[Jerry] Everybody get up.
-[Vic] Referee just counted ten. -[bell rings]
[crowd booing]
-[Jerry] What the-- -[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Both teams are counted out.
Nobody was able to get back in the ring.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, yeah. And that is frustrating, let me tell you.
[Vic] Well, Karl Anderson frustrated indeed, but, guys…
the referee counted to ten.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Samoa Joe] Nobody likes to go to battle and not walk away with spoils.
And it looks like Karl Anderson is about to get him some right now.
[Vic] Well, look, it's been a tough time to be in The OC.
AJ Styles losing his United States Championship
to Rey Mysterio, OC wanted to regain the tag team titles tonight.
-Not the case here at TLC. Whoa. -[Jerry] Oh, no, no, look out.
-[Vic] Watch out, guys. -[Jerry] Easy.
[Vic] Well, they better get their KFC $20 fill up bucket meals
and head for higher ground, King.
[Jerry] You're not kidding.
[Vic] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. No way.
[Jerry] Hey, hey, wait a minute.
[crowd chanting] KFC! KFC! KFC!
[Samoa Joe] Are you kidding me, guys?
It's a cookout with The Good Brothers.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Vic] And look at-- And, oh, Ivar intercepting Karl Anderson.
And things breaking down here between these two teams.
[Jerry] Watch it, Colonel.
[Samoa Joe] Uh-oh.
[Jerry] This is not gonna be good.
[crowd chattering]
[Vic] Well, The Viking Raiders have something in mind for Karl Anderson.
[Jerry] Oh… Oh!
[Vic] Right through the table here at TLC.
-["War" playing] -[crowd chattering]
[Jerry] Well, The Viking Raiders are still the Raw Tag Team Champions.
[Vic] Certainly are and though The OC answered the open challenge,
The Viking Raiders, however, the team walking out of TLC
with gold still around their waist.
A lot of exciting action here tonight,
and the Viking Raiders are still the champs.
But now please welcome my guest, The Miz.
[crowd cheering]
Miz, before I ask you about your match tonight with Bray Wyatt,
the WWE Universe would like to know, how is your daughter?
Monroe is fine.
Most importantly, she's safe.
After what happened last Friday, I made the decision to move her
and my entire family to an undisclosed location
until this is all over.
I'm not taking any chances.
We saw the other night.
Bray Wyatt is just not unpredictable, he's a monster.
Just as much of a monster as The Fiend, maybe even more so.
Were you worried about what will happen to you
after you face him, of being changed by Bray Wyatt?
Does it really matter?
Does it-- Does it really matter?
Bray Wyatt violated the sanctity of my home,
the place where my children and my wife live,
the place where my daughter sleeps!
So, how I feel about facing Bray Wyatt or what he might do to me is irrelevant.
This is the most important match,
most personal match of my entire life.
So tonight, I'm not fighting as The Miz, I'm not fighting as a WWE superstar,
I am fighting as a husband, as a father,
as a man protecting his family.
[crowd cheering]
I am willing to face anyone or anything.
[crowd chattering]
[Stone Cold] Give me a "Hell Yeah!"
-["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Stone Cold] Welcome to the Broken Skull Sessions.
No gimmicks, just straight shooting the **** and telling damn good stories.
Who's next?
-Goldberg. -[crowd chanting] Goldberg! Goldberg!
I just didn't feel like I belonged.
You being Steve Austin and I was the copycat over at WCW.
Did you feel like that?
And that's the bottom line
because Stone Cold said so.
[glass shattering]
I cannot wait.
Two of the biggest stars of their generation sit down
and talk tonight,
the Broken Skull Sessions immediately following TLC tonight on the WWE Network.
But we got some business to take up here-- take care of here tonight.
I wanna take just a second to send a very special thank you
to Kevin Rudolf for "Do You Feel Me?"
an official theme song of Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
You can get it right now on Apple Music and Spotify.
[Michael] And ladies and gentlemen, up next, it's Table, Ladders, and Chairs.
"The Big Dog" Roman Reigns seeks retribution
against "The King" King Corbin.
And King Corbin hopes to extend the size of his kingdom here tonight.
["Do You Feel Me?" playing]
[drumroll]
[Baron] It is no longer Roman Reigns' yard.
It is my kingdom.
Roman Reigns claims to be a locker room leader.
[Michael] Wait a minute. Roode and Ziggler.
[Graves] King Corbin was right. Roman's lost the locker room.
[Baron] But he's just a shell of the man he once was.
-[Michael] King Corbin… -[bell rings]
[Michael] …has beaten Roman Reigns.
[Baron] Big Dog, your bark, it's starting to sound a lot like a little chihuahua.
-["The Truth Reigns" playing] -[chihuahua barking]
Did you hear that? [imitates chihuahua barking]
It's like a little ankle-biter.
-[laughs] -[Graves] Here comes The Big Dog!
[Baron] Hey, hey. Let's see if The Big Dog knows some tricks.
Take a knee and bow!
[Michael] King Corbin is hell-bent on humiliating Roman Reigns.
All right. The only thing that's humiliating around here is the fact
that Team Corbin, they can't get the job done against me.
He's bigger and stronger than me, but in that ring,
I am a dog, and he can't handle me.
At TLC, I'm gonna embarrass him.
Whether it's with a table, a ladder, or a chair…
I'm gonna embarrass him.
[Michael] Dolph Ziggler with a Superkick.
-Okay. What the hell does he have there? -[Graves] Handcuffs.
[Michael] And look at this.
The men who carried Corbin out here on a sedan are ambushing Reigns.
Reigns was shackled.
[Baron] You call yourself The Big Dog?
[Michael] Roman Reigns is defenseless. Helpless. Reigns is cuffed to the post.
[Graves] Is that what I think it is?
[Baron] The Big Dog.
[Michael] Corbin showering Reigns in dog food.
[Graves] King Corbin promised humiliation.
[Baron] This Sunday, I'm gonna make The Big Dog,
the little ankle-biter, bow down to his king.
[yelling]
[Baron] Now, I have seen that The Big Dog is coming here unchained.
But if that glory hound does decide to show up,
I have every door in this entire arena covered,
and he'll just be showing up to a fate far worse than last week.
-["Dogs of War" playing] -[Michael] And here comes The Big Dog.
Unchained.
[Graves] Roman like a man possessed.
[Michael] And Ziggler with a Superkick.
Dolph Ziggler is setting up the ladder.
[Graves] No, no, no.
[Michael] Roman Reigns has got Dolph Ziggler.
Ziggler pushed on the table.
The Big Dog returns with a vengeance.
That could be The King come Sunday,
Tables, Ladders, Chairs.
["Dogs of War" continues]
[singer] ♪ Unleash the dogs of war ♪
[bell rings]
[Hamilton] The following is a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
[crowd cheering]
[Hamilton] In this match, there are no disqualifications,
and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
["King's Darkness" playing]
[Michael] Oh, good.
King Corbin got his sedan fixed after Roman Reigns destroyed it
on SmackDown Friday night.
[Graves] And I happen to know that King Corbin has no interest
in your opinions, Cole. You should be busy.
[Hamilton] Introducing first, weighing in at 285 pounds,
King Corbin!
[Graves] I'm gonna have a talk with King Corbin about Hamilton as well.
You should be busy bending your knee, bowing your head,
and prepare to hail King Corbin.
[Michael] While the porters lead King Corbin out to the ring tonight,
now remember, Corbin heads into this matchup, really, alone.
Robert Roode taken out a couple of weeks ago
at the hands of Roman Reigns.
Dolph Ziggler taken out Friday night at the hands of Roman Reigns,
who sometimes acquaint-- acquaintances The Revival,
involved in a hellacious Ladder Match earlier tonight,
so King Corbin takes on Reigns, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[Graves] It's one way of looking at it that King Corbin is all on his own.
That said, you look at this opportunity for King Corbin
as a chance to remove all doubt
that this is now The Kingdom of King Corbin,
no longer The Big Dog's yard.
[Michael] Corbin claims that he is in Reigns' head mentally,
and he will beat him physically here tonight.
["King's Darkness" continues]
[singer] ♪ Out of the ashes ♪
♪ A clear light will shine ♪
That is no way to welcome your King.
[crowd booing]
You all need to learn some respect.
And there's a man that's gonna walk out of that curtain next
who also doesn't have respect,
and I'm gonna show you exactly what I do to people
that don't have respect.
He will be forced to bend the knee
to your King.
[crowd jeering]
[crowd chattering]
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
-["The Truth Reigns" playing] -[crowd cheering]
-[Graves] And here comes The Big Dog! -[crowd cheering]
[Hamilton] And his opponent, from Pensacola, Florida,
weighing in at 265 pounds,
Roman Reigns!
["The Truth Reigns" continues]
[explosions]
[Michael] You know, a unique scene has developed here,
and we'll see it in just a moment.
In the-- Right in front of the ring, there you see the group of security--
[Graves] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Michael] …who immediately go after Roman Reigns.
King-- Oh my God!
[Graves] It's all perfectly legal.
[Michael] Yeah. Remember, once this matchup does get underway,
there are no disqualifications or--
Who wants some now?
[Michael] …no count-outs. You win via pinfall or submission.
And King Corbin, chair in hand, goes right after The Big Dog--
-[bell rings] -[Michael] …and runs into a right hand.
Bell rings, match is underway.
Tables, Ladders, Chairs, perfectly legal.
Corbin driven into the big tron.
You know, the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match turns
twenty years old next year.
Edge and Christian, The Dudleys, and The Hardy Boyz
at SummerSlam of 2000 made this match famous.
And Roman Reigns and Baron Corbin carry on the tradition here tonight.
[Graves] Yeah, but I think tonight Roman Reigns and King Corbin have
the opportunity to rewrite history,
to reinvent the brutality of the TLC match.
[Michael] Both of these men have been involved
in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches in their career.
In fact, last year-- oh, King Corbin, who's launched off the stage,
was involved in two against Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.
Corbin who once won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match as well.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Very adaptable to these type of situations,
but he's in there against a very angry Big Dog here tonight.
[man] Go on, Big Dog!
[Michael] Think about the embarrassment and the humiliation
that Roman Reigns has had to go through at the hands of King Corbin
over the past couple of months.
[Graves] And that's all by design.
King Corbin is in the head of Roman Reigns.
Of course, Roman is gonna come out here…
-[Michael] Oh. -[Graves] …and put up a big fight,
but the fact is King Corbin owns The Big Dog right now.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Roman Reigns, who had the best of Corbin
at the beginning of this matchup, now suffering at the hands of The King
as they brawl here throughout the WWE Universe.
[Graves] It's all by design.
King Corbin is gonna let Roman be overly emotional
because Reigns will burn himself out in this situation.
It only takes the smallest mistake and King Corbin capitalizes.
[Michael] Corbin continues the attack, and they're--
Reigns fighting back with the right hand.
They're just over our right-- our right shoulder here
as Reigns dumps Corbin back into the ringside area.
[Graves] Look at the intensity in the eyes of Roman Reigns.
[Michael] One of the most intense superstars
that we've ever witnessed here in WWE.
Multi-time World Champion, winner of the Royal Rumble--
Oh, and I mention that with the Rumble just six weeks away.
And Roman bouncing Corbin face-first off the steps.
[Graves] You can feel the anger emanating from The Big Dog
as he walks past the table here.
[Michael] And meanwhile, gonna bounce The King right off the, uh,
cowl of our desk.
[crowd chanting] Corbin! Corbin! Corbin! Corbin!
[crowd chanting] Roman! Roman!
[Michael] And the WWE fans backing The Big Dog here tonight.
Into the ring for the first time in this match.
Oh, and look at that. Oh my God!
-Deep Six by Corbin. Cover on Reigns. -One, two--
[Michael] Almost had him, kicked out at two and a half.
[Graves] And just that quickly,
King Corbin changed the complexion of the matchup.
[Michael] And remember, you win via pinfall or submission.
No disqualifications, no count-outs.
Tables, ladders, chairs, all legal here tonight.
And for King Corbin, this is such an important match, Corey,
to establish himself at the top of the food chain
on Friday Night SmackDown.
[Graves] I completely agree with you, Cole. For some reason,
the WWE Universe has not shown King Corbin
the respect that The King rightfully deserves.
This is a King of the Ring we're talking about.
[Michael] Sometimes you gotta act a certain way to get respect,
but nonetheless, he was just mocking Roman Reigns there moments ago.
And Corbin-- Oh, shoulder to the post for Reigns.
[Graves] The Big Dog is hurt bad.
[Michael] There's never, ever been any denying the athletic ability
and the potential of King Corbin.
And again, tonight, a victory in this type of atmosphere
against Roman Reigns would go a long way
in proving Corbin for the top of SmackDown.
Oh, driving Reigns kidney-first into the barricade.
A relentless, aggressive competitor,
former Golden Gloves boxing champion,
former NFL football star,
and now here a star in WWE, and Reigns with a right hand.
[Graves] King Corbin on spaghetti legs at the moment.
Roman trying to fight his way back in,
but King Corbin buries a knee to the abdomen.
[Michael] Reigns whipped into the corner by Corbin, full head of speed.
And then, again, just the sign of the athleticism of Baron Corbin
as he follows it up with a clothesline.
[Graves] Off with his head.
[Michael] Hook to the leg, shoulders down, and a kickout.
Corey, you've been in the ring with Corbin.
Very, very quick individual for his size.
[Graves] Deceptively fast for someone six foot seven,
almost six foot eight.
Very, very agile, and these strikes are lethal.
[Michael] And we heard Booker T talking on the TLC Kickoff Show earlier tonight.
He believes that Baron Corbin, when it's all said and done,
could be one of the best big men we've ever seen here in WWE.
That's a Hall of Famer talking.
[Graves] Booker T obviously knows what he's talking about.
King Corbin with a massive opportunity tonight
to really cement his place here in WWE.
-[child] Go on, Corbin! -[crowd booing]
[Michael] Corbin mocking the WWE fans.
[Graves] What was mocking about that, Cole?
Corbin simply requested silence while he works.
[crowd chattering, cheering]
[Michael] Corbin driven into the barricade,
as Roman Reigns looks to gain momentum in this match.
[Graves] King Corbin is in the heat of battle right now.
He has no time for these plebeians telling him how to do his job.
[Michael] "Plebeians." [scoffs]
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Now Roman turns his focus
on King Corbin, the man who covered Roman Reigns in dog food
a couple of weeks ago on Friday Night SmackDown
after handcuffing him, and look at--
[Graves] That is a cagey maneuver from King Corbin.
Ordinarily, it would've gotten Corbin disqualified,
but not in a TLC match.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Oh, into the steps.
[Graves] And he was just slung face-first.
[Michael] Right now, the pace that King Corbin likes.
Slow it down and punish your opponent.
[cheering]
[Michael chuckles]
Would you expect anything less?
[Graves] King Corbin simply doesn't require
the use of a table at this particular junction.
[Michael] But he does a ladder?
[Graves] Listen, I'm no-- I'm not in any position to question the strategy
of The King of the Ring.
[Michael] Corbin did have a great 2019,
of course, winning The King of the Ring tournament
in the fall.
Reigns to his feet.
Corbin using the ladder to his advantage.
Right to the ribs.
[yells]
[Michael] This is the man King Corbin has questioned the leadership
in the locker room of Roman Reigns.
[Graves] King Corbin has emerged as a new locker room leader.
[Michael] Yeah, he has.
[Graves] There is a litany of superstars that have followed King--
[Michael] Yeah. Four people. Four people. Revival, Rude, Ziggler.
[Graves] That's three more than anyone that follows Roman Reigns.
[Michael] Corbin into the ring. Cover now on Reigns.
Hook of the leg. Is it enough?
And a kickout at two by Reigns.
And Corbin with that sly smile, realizing he's in control.
Roman favoring his ribs.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] He's used a ladder, and now The King will use a chair perhaps.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Referee cannot stop King Corbin.
Corbin can punish Reigns just like that.
To the spine.
Get up!
[Michael] It's got to feel good…
I told you!
[Michael] …for The King.
You're nothing!
-[grunts] -[Michael] And again.
[Graves] This is nothing short of cathartic for King Corbin.
[Michael] Well, you know, it irks Corbin over the fact that he's King of the Ring.
You're nothing!
[Michael] Calls himself King Corbin,
but yet everyone still talks about The Big Dog,
talks about Roman Reigns,
and what he means to Friday Night SmackDown
and the WWE in general.
And that just bugs Corbin.
[Graves] With very good reason.
Corbin earned the title of King of the Ring.
It wasn't something he just dreamed up on his own.
King Corbin is The King of the WWE ring.
Yet for some reason,
the detractors keep coming out of the woodwork
because they like Roman Reigns better.
[Michael] Roman Reigns holds himself to a much higher standard
in my estimation than The King,
but nonetheless, Roman Reigns--
Uh-oh, Corbin-- And Reigns with a clothesline.
And now Roman trying to fight back in this match.
Reigns knocks down The King.
[Graves] This is what Corbin wanted to avoid.
[crowd] One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[Graves] King Corbin defenseless in the corner.
Just being battered by Reigns.
[Michael] And then Reigns with a boot.
And Roman Reigns is taking over
but still favoring the ribs targeted earlier by The King.
[crowd chattering]
[Graves] Roman certainly no stranger to having to fight through the pain.
[crowd chanting] Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman! Roman!
[Michael] Reigns feeding off the WWE fans,
and he's locked and loaded
and looking to make short work of The King here tonight.
Corbin back to his feet, went for the Superman Punch.
Corbin now, went for the Chokeslam.
Reigns able to sneak out of it.
Corbin again,
and this time, Reigns was ready for him.
Uh-oh, maybe not.
Chokeslam backbreaker by Corbin.
Driving his knee into the spine of Reigns.
[Graves] The Big Dog is broken in half.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] A very impressive King Corbin tonight.
-[crowd chattering] -[yells]
[Graves] King Corbin is enjoying this,
savoring the beating he is inflicting on Reigns.
[Michael] You see the official checking on Roman Reigns.
His midsection, his core is suffering a tremendous amount
of punishment here tonight at the hands of Corbin.
[Graves] A brilliant strategy by King Corbin.
You soften the core of Roman Reigns, you take away a great deal
of The Big Dog's power-based offense.
[Michael] And now, again, making fun of Roman Reigns.
And he runs into a boot.
Roman back to his feet. Corbin took too much time.
And into the chair.
Superman Punch.
-Cover by Reigns for the win. -[crowd counting]
[Michael] Near fall for Roman.
-[crowd chattering] -[groans]
[Graves] Reigns is in agony.
His entire body racked with pain,
thanks to the beating from King Corbin.
But somehow Reigns is still in this match.
[Michael] King Corbin and Roman Reigns from Friday Night SmackDown
propelling WWE TLC to the number one trend worldwide,
as we take another look at Roman Reigns and the Superman Punch
on the nose of Corbin, who barely kicked out.
[crowd chanting] We want tables!
[Graves] The adrenaline beginning to flow,
beginning to pump through the body of Roman Reigns.
The WWE Universe trying to will The Big Dog back into the battle.
[Michael] Minneapolis knows something about hard-nosed sports entertainment,
and they're getting it here tonight.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Roman realizing he needs to do something a little bit extra perhaps
to take out The King.
[Graves] Roman Reigns is hurt.
You can see the wincing every step Roman takes.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Reigns looking to set up a table in the ring,
and King Corbin wisely rolling out of harm's away.
[Graves] Roman's lost sight of King Corbin for the moment.
The table is set up.
I can only imagine Reigns has the worst of intentions.
[Michael] Oh my God,
and Corbin just hit him with a can of dog food.
[Graves] A full can.
[Michael] Right off the face of Roman Reigns.
And it has allowed Corbin to take over and deliver a Chokeslam through the table.
Is that it? Will The King knock off Reigns?
Near fall. Kickout at two.
[Graves] Look at this.
Resourceful King Corbin finding a can of dog food, unopened,
it was right off the face of The Big Dog.
And then this monstrous Chokeslam through the table.
Somehow, someway, Roman Reigns survives.
[Michael] Yeah, but you gotta hand it to Roman Reigns, like you said,
surviving at this point of the matchup.
But Chokeslammed through a table, Corey,
the attack continues on the midsection of Roman Reigns.
Excellently planned strategy being implemented by King Corbin.
I guess he didn't like that ladder and the table either.
And now Corbin…
clearing off our announce table.
And only bad intentions here for The King.
[crowd chattering]
And now clearing off the German announce table as well.
[Graves] King Corbin wants to remove all doubt
from everyone watching right now.
-[Michael] He's mad at everybody. -[Graves] This is Corbin's Kingdom.
Not Roman's Yard.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Corbin can do whatever he wants out here
because there are no count-outs.
Roman Reigns appears to be helpless
after being Chokeslammed through a table moments ago.
And what does Corbin have in mind?
[Graves] Corbin's got the end in mind.
The end of days.
The end of Roman Reigns' days.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Could be the beginning of one of the longest reigns we've ever seen
for a king here in WWE.
What a landmark win this would be
for Baron Corbin,
who could be moments away from that victory.
Reigns is not able to defend himself, and Corbin with a smile on his face.
And Roman Reigns, however.
-[Graves] Oh no. Oh no! -[Michael] The power of Reigns.
Samoan dropped on the table.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] A Samoan drop through the announce table.
[Graves] King Corbin might have broken ribs.
[Michael] Roman Reigns as well.
Reigns' elbow's been busted up.
[Graves] Roman fighting on instinct alone.
[Michael] Sacrificing himself as he delivers a Samoan drop
through a table to King Corbin.
[Graves] Let's watch this impact once again.
The announce table basically exploding
underneath the weight of King Corbin being driven by Roman Reigns.
[Michael] And, listen, the referees are basically-- can't do anything here
because there are no count-outs. There are no disqualifications.
You win via pinfall or submission.
[Graves] I mean, the way things are going, these officials might need to step in
and stop this thing before someone really, really gets hurt.
[man] Come on, Roman! Let's go, Dog!
[Michael] The King doesn't look like much of a king now, does he?
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Reigns trying to make it back to his feet first.
King Corbin stirring as well.
This has been a hellacious battle between these two men.
[Graves] I don't think anybody expected anything less.
[Michael] Such deep, deep disdain for one another.
Roman Reigns is back on his feet.
He's feeding off the WWE Universe.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Where is he-- Roman Reigns--
Roman Reigns looking for a full head of steam.
Here comes Roman Reigns.
Oh, and-- Who the hell?
Dolph Ziggler.
Was he under the ring?
[Graves] Yeah.
[Michael] We thought Dolph Ziggler was taken out for good
Friday Night on SmackDown
when Roman Reigns sent him through an announce table,
but it appeared Ziggler was under the ring,
and he met Reigns with a Superman Kick.
And that may have changed the entire complexion
of this fight tonight.
I said give it to me. [grunts]
-[Graves] Look at-- Good God. -[Michael] Oh, who the--
[Graves] Well, one of the timekeepers is being mauled now by Dolph Ziggler.
[Michael] But why? What the hell did that guy do?
[Graves] It is chaos here at ringside.
[Dolph] You listen to your King when you are commanded to.
[Graves] Whoever that poor guy is, it was--
he disobeyed a direct order from King Corbin.
[Michael] I guess. I don't know. I mean-- But Ziggler is now involved in this match.
This has become a two-on-one situation.
[Graves] Oh, déjà vu.
[Michael] Ziggler has handcuffs in hand.
There's dog food again.
And this is about to get more embarrassing,
more humiliating for The Big Dog.
[Graves] Once again, King Corbin's proclamation will be true.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] And Roman Reigns now with a drive-by.
[Graves] Reigns just took out Ziggler and Corbin in one fell swoop.
[Michael] And now, what does Roman Reigns have in mind?
And Roman's hurt.
He's just feeding off of adrenaline here.
-[Graves] Oh no. -[Michael] Kendo stick.
It's Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, but a kendo stick is fine, I guess.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] And meanwhile, look--
That's King Corbin's security coming here to the aid of King Corbin.
But Roman Reigns is teeing off
like the Minnesota Twins with that kendo stick.
[Graves] Roman's teaching his security force,
you don't lead with your abdomen.
-[Roman grunts] -[screams]
[Michael] Roman Reigns is taking out everybody in his sight.
[crowd chattering]
[Roman grunts]
[Michael] And he's not done yet.
[Graves] Oh, hey now, it's The Revival.
-Dawson and Wilder. -[Michael] Yeah.
The Revival who are running buddies with King Corbin as well.
[Graves] What was all that nonsense
you spewed at the beginning of the match, Cole,
about King Corbin being all on his own on an island onto himself?
The King's forces have arrived.
[Michael] Yeah. The Revival, after an unbelievable Ladder Match
earlier tonight with The New Day, back out here to take out Reigns.
[Graves] It's the locker room coming to the support
of the new locker room leader, King Corbin.
[Michael] And Ziggler's here. The Revival's here.
A number of security guards showed up as well.
And now The Revival turn their attention to Roman Reigns.
All legal. No disqualifications.
Reigns with a Superman Punch.
Wilder taken out. Dawson as well.
And now Corbin back in the ring.
Baron Corbin sent flying.
And Roman Reigns holds the ring, which, right now--
Uh-oh.
Roman Reigns is gonna fly.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] That's what The Big Dog is all about.
[Graves] One versus all.
[Michael] And now the man that he's actually fighting in this match,
King Corbin, sent back into the ring by Reigns.
Can Roman Reigns put Corbin away,
against all odds, here tonight?
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] Reigns measuring his man, getting into position.
Meanwhile, Ziggler with a chair
off the face of Reigns.
[Graves] Good God.
[Michael] How on earth is this fair?
This is, like, twelve on one.
And now a Zig Zag by Ziggler.
Explain to me, Corey, how this is fair.
[Graves] It's not about fair.
Roman Reigns signed the contract for a TLC match.
It's not King Corbin's fault that Roman doesn't have any friends left.
[Michael] And look at Ziggler, boom!
A chair right into the face of Roman Reigns.
And now Ziggler, The Revival, The King, all surrounding The Big Dog.
And Roman Reigns is about to get seriously hurt here tonight.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] First, The Revival with a Shatter Machine to Reigns.
[crowd chanting] Uso! Uso! Uso! Uso!
[Graves] The Big Dog's Yard has just been annexed
by The Kingdom of Corbin.
[crowd chanting] Uso! Uso! Uso! Uso!
Finish this, Corbin!
[Michael] What does King Corbin have in mind now?
Oh, I know what he's got in mind.
The End of Days to a steel chair.
[Graves] That's got to be it.
-[Michael] Corbin into the cover. -One, two, three!
-[bell rings] -[Michael] Disgusting.
["King's Darkness" playing]
[Hamilton] Here is your winner,
King Corbin!
[Michael] Listen, you wanna be The King in your kingdom?
You wanna have people bow to your feet?
Well, listen, do it the right way.
Not like this.
It took half a dozen security guards,
Dolph Ziggler, The Revival, and The King to take out Reigns tonight.
-[Graves] Are you done? -[Michael] And you're proud of it.
-[Graves] Are you done? -[Michael] You're out there clapping.
You're giving him a standing ovation.
[Graves] Might equals right.
Everything is right in the WWE Universe.
All hail King Corbin!
[Michael] Well, this is where it all started.
Dolph Ziggler came from out of nowhere.
A Superman Kick to Roman Reigns.
And then the numbers just became too overwhelming for Reigns to overcome.
First, Ziggler with a steel chair right to the face of The Big Dog.
[Graves] Roman not able to protect himself from the steel chair.
Things would get worse in the form of a Shatter Machine,
courtesy of The Revival.
[Michael] And go ahead, let's applaud what King Corbin does now.
[Graves] The exclamation point on the proclamation from King Corbin,
End of Days on a steel chair.
Bend your knee. Bow your head.
All hail King Corbin!
["King's Darkness" continues]
[Michael] A king in his court.
Go up there. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go up there and join them.
[Graves] I'm applauding from right where I stand, Michael Cole.
The job that needed to be done was completed.
King Corbin has knocked off The Big Dog
and claims SmackDown as his kingdom.

So why should you?
On Sunday, April 5th, 2020,
the grandest stage,
the biggest stars.
[Michael] Welcome to WrestleMania!
[narrator] Tickets and travel packages available now.
Our ringside area still a mess here after what we, uh-- transpired moments ago
with King Corbin in his court,
I guess, beating Roman Reigns.
It's a mess, but order will be restored.
It has been restored.
We know who the true leader on Friday Night SmackDown is.
You misspoke.
Order has not been restored.
-Uh, in the grand scheme of things, yes. -No.
Because coming up next, Bray Wyatt, the Universal Champion is here.
Bray Wyatt versus that man, The Miz,
in a match The Miz calls,
"the most important and most personal of his career."
I wanna take you back now to a couple of weeks ago on Friday Night SmackDown,
The Miz finally speaking out about Bray Wyatt.
[dramatic music playing]
[Miz] I was gonna start this show off with an episode of Miz TV,
and my guest was supposed to be Daniel Bryan.
But, unfortunately, due to the horrific events of last week
caused by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt,
Daniel Bryan has virtually disappeared.
I've never liked Daniel Bryan,
but I will find out what happened--
[whimsical music playing]
Yowie Wowie! Trust me on this, Miz.
You don't wanna know what happened to Daniel Bryan.
Daniel was coming to play with me at TLC.
Now I don't think he's gonna be there.
[children] Aw!
But, hey, since you're a little snooping snooparoo,
maybe you'd like to come play instead.
This isn't about me.
This is about Daniel,
who's like family to the WWE Universe.
Did you just say "family"?
[sinister music playing]
I used to have a family.
And now I have a chance to join a new family.
[creepy music playing]
Do you wanna come and play with me now?
[laughs]
Maryse? Ma-- Calm down. Lock the door. Set the alarm.
Do not risk anything. I'm coming home right now.
[dramatic music playing]
[music intensifies, becomes creepy]
[Bray] Say cheese.
[both grunt]
[laughs]
♪ There's no place like home For the holidays ♪
[laughs]
[dramatic music plays, fades]
Miz, thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview
with me and inviting me into your beautiful home.
Can you describe to me what went down last week on SmackDown?
Bray Wyatt likes to play mind games.
But there's a line that you don't cross.
And Bray Wyatt crossed that line.
Bray Wyatt brags that he's changed superstars,
but, you know, I'm a changed man too. I'm a father of two young girls.
Family is the most important thing to me.
And I don't know what Bray Wyatt's capable of.
[Maryse] Mike? Mike?
You okay? You okay? What's wrong? What's wrong?
-Our baby. -[baby gurgles]
Let me in.
[baby whimpers]
[Bray] I was just trying to be nice.
[Miz] Monroe?
-[Bray laughs] -[Miz] Go, go, go.
[Bray] Miz, I can see how much you love your family.
Do you wanna come and play with me now?
You can train yourself
-[Miz] Monroe? -[Bray] …not to feel love.
-You okay, sweetheart? -You okay?
Are you okay?
[Miz] Family is the most important thing to me.
-Where did she get this? -[Maryse] What is that?
-Where did she get this? -[Maryse] I don't know.
-I don't know. -Baby, where did you get this?
-Put that down. Put that down. -[Bray] I can teach you.
[Miz] Family is the most important thing--
[Bray] All you have to do is--
-Please go. -Get out! Get out!
…let me in.

[Hamilton] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, weighing in at 221 pounds
and residing in Hollywood, California,
The Miz!
[Michael] You know, Corey,
I know Miz is really emotional about this match tonight,
but he has to keep those emotions in check against the dangerous Bray Wyatt.
[Graves] You're absolutely correct, Cole.
The Universal Champion has The Miz mentally shaken,
which makes Miz perfect prey for Bray Wyatt.
[Michael] You know, Raw and SmackDown are broadcast worldwide
in 27 different languages,
many of those represented here tonight.
We'll start with our Portuguese announcers,
Marco Alfaro and Roberto Figueroa.
[speaking Portuguese]
[Michael] Our Russian announce team of Moti Margolin and Zhan Pomerantsev.
[speaking Russian]
Let's go!
[Michael] The Japanese announce team, Shun Yamaguchi and Funaki.
[speaking Japanese]
[Michael] And our Hindi team, Obaid Kadwani and Shez Sardar.
[speaking Hindi]
[both] TLC!
-[Michael] Our French team-- -[both speaking Hindi]
[Michael] Okay. Our French team, Ray Rougeau and Jean Brassard.
[speaking French]
[Michael] And our Mandarin team of Meng Ai and Sean Deng.
[speaking Mandarin]
[Michael] Oh, I want to apologize to the French team of Ray and Jean
after being interrupted, but--
[Graves] Meng got us kicked out of the Holidazzle Festival last night.
-[Michael] Really? -[Graves] Yeah.
It turns out you're supposed to wear pants at the public ice rink.
[crowd chattering]
["Good Friendship Song" playing]
[singer] ♪ We're really glad That you're our friend ♪
♪ And this is a friendship That will never ever end ♪
["Good Friendship Song" continues]
[crowd cheering]
[Hamilton] And his opponent,
he is the Universal Champion,
Bray Wyatt!
[Michael] This Bray Wyatt, just a strange dude.
This façade of wanting to be everybody's friend.
I mean, he waves, comes out here
calling everybody, "Hey, buddy," when he comes down to the ring.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
And what we've-- We've seen how dangerous this man is, Corey.
[Graves] There's no doubt about the level of danger,
the threat posed by the Universal Champion.
At all times, Bray Wyatt is downright diabolical.
This could end--
[Michael] Um, okay.
[singer] ♪ We're really glad That you're our friend ♪
♪ And this is a friendship That will never ever end ♪
-[crowd cheering] -[laughs]

♪ Come along and throw… ♪
[Michael] I believe he's really excited about this, Corey.
[Graves] Obviously, uh…
Of course, Bray Wyatt is a very complicated, complicated individual
who needs help.
[singer] ♪ And this is a friendship That will never ever end ♪
[Michael] You call him complicated, I call him unhinged.
[Graves] Maybe, or maybe Bray is a master manipulator.
He's captivating. He's charismatic.
[singer] ♪ Come along And throw your cares away ♪
[Michael] There's no doubt about that,
as this is a perfect example here.
[Graves] And even-- Bray Wyatt has the entire WWE Universe
eating out of the palm of his hand.
[Michael] Well, they're letting him in, which is what he's wanted all along.
[Graves] And, listen, I respect what Miz is trying to do here tonight.
I respect Miz as a father,
as a husband standing up defending his family,
but I don't-- I don't know if Miz has a chance here tonight.
Bray Wyatt has already shook Miz
between his ears. Like--
[Michael] Hey, Corey, I was thinking about this earlier today.
And I've been here for a real long time, and I don't ever recall…
[crowd chanting] Yowie Wowie! Yowie Wowie!
[Michael] …a person like Bray Wyatt, and what this man has accomplished,
what this man is made up of,
the control that this man seems to have over the WWE Universe.
I can't think of anyone that's-- that we can put on that level.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] And the match now is underway.
Oh, and Miz came right out of the box.
It almost looked like Bray Wyatt was trying to calm Miz down,
and Miz went right after Bray Wyatt.
Remember this, uh, Miz called,
"the most personal and emotional matchup of his career."
Two, three!
[Michael] Feels like his entire life has been violated by this man.
Violated the sanctity of his own home.
Did you get it out of your system now?
Get it out of your system?
-[crowd chattering] -Wait.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
Take it easy.
[grunts]
[Graves] Bray's just imploring Miz to take it easy,
asked if he got all of it out of his system.
[Michael] Well, obviously, Miz hasn't because he, again,
is on the attack of Bray Wyatt here.
[Graves] This is so bizarre.
It's almost like Bray doesn't even want to be in a fight right now.
Come on. Don’t get disqualified, come on.
[Michael] I told you he's just this-- this happy-go-lucky dude,
I guess, at points.
[Miz] How about this? You wanna laugh?
You wanna laugh? You want something to laugh about?
No, come on. Hey, no, no!
-One, two, three, four! -You want something to laugh about?
-Miz, come on. -[Michael] What the hell is he doing?
I'm gonna have to pull you, Miz. Back off.
[Graves] Miz is trying to tear the features off Bray's face.
[Michael] Yeah, but Bray was laughing.
The guy was laughing at him.
You a monster. You a monster, boy.
[Michael] And Bray Wyatt, he hasn't even tried any type of offense
here at all against Miz.
Miz now using the sweater to his advantage.
And the rights, and lefts, and the knees to the midsection
driving Bray into the corner.
[crowd chattering]
[Graves] Bray Wyatt's had enough for the moment.
[Michael] And look at Miz, again continuing the assault on Bray Wyatt.
[Graves] It's almost like
Bray's barely even trying to protect himself.
[Michael] Right. Exactly.
He's done nothing to help his cause in this match.
Even there, Miz just continuing this offensive onslaught on Bray Wyatt.
You know, Bray's-- always plays this fun-loving dude.
Uh-oh, wait a minute. You saw the expression change.
Look at the expression change in the eyes of Bray Wyatt, went for Sister Abigail.
Miz Skull-Crushing Finale!
And Miz would normally go for a cover there to end the match,
but he does not.
[Graves] Because Miz is shook.
Miz is still trying to figure out what the hell's happening inside this ring.
[Michael] Well, I also think he wants to continue to punish Bray Wyatt even more.
And look at this sick man.
-[Graves] Bray enjoys this, Cole. -[Michael] He's laughing about it.
Miz is slamming Wyatt's face into the mat,
and Wyatt's laughing.
[Miz] Who's laughing now, boy? Who's laughing now?
-[referee] What do you say, Bray? -You wanna laugh?
You want something to laugh about? Huh?
You want something to laugh about?
I'll give you something to laugh about. I'll give you something.
[Michael] Miz trying to just torture and punish Wyatt.
[grunts] Yeah.
[Graves] It sounds like Bray's deriving some sort of pleasure from Miz,
as screwed up as that may sound.
[Michael] Well, what did he talk about, last week, about pain?
[laughs]
[Graves] Bray said he could teach you how to not feel pain.
But that was more like a figure of speech.
Do it!
[Michael] Look at him.
[grunts, laughs]
-[screams] -[Michael] Oh my God!
Bray, Bray!
-[crowd chattering] -[grunts]
[Michael] What the hell is wrong with him? Get the hell out of here.
What is he doing?
[Graves] I think Bray might have just popped his shoulder back into place.
[crowd chattering]
[Graves] Miz very well may have dislocated Bray Wyatt's shoulder, but…
[Michael] This is the damndest thing I've ever seen.
And Miz continuing to go after Wyatt.
And now driving Bray Wyatt off the Spanish announce desk and--
[Graves] Well, as much as Miz is able to dish out,
Bray is more than happy to take it.
[Michael] Bray Wyatt hasn't delivered one offensive maneuver
in this entire match except for himself
when he drove himself into the barricade moments ago.
[Graves] It's a sort of masochism. It's just disturbing.
[crowd chattering]
[Michael] I mean, and Miz still can-- Oh.
Oh my God. Bray sent right into the German desk now.
[Graves] Right into the corner of the table.
[Michael] Miz promised he was gonna punish Bray here tonight
for everything that Bray did to him and his family.
And Miz back in the ring now to break the count
because he wants this thing to continue.
[Graves] And Miz is backing up his declaration.
Miz is bringing the fight to Bray Wyatt, but… [sighs]
…is it even effective?
[Michael] Well, Miz sent into the timekeepers' area
as Bray Wyatt sidesteps Miz.
And suddenly, the expression has changed a bit on the face of Bray.
The smile has gone away.
A look of a-- almost a faraway look
in the eyes of Wyatt,
as he delivers a Sister Abigail outside the ring!
And now the expression changes back to that fun-loving Wyatt again.
[crowd chattering]
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[Michael] Corey, I think this guy is going in and out of personality changes
throughout this entire match.
[Graves] It would appear that way. I--
Two! Three!
[Michael] The official is now counting
after Miz was taken out with a Sister Abigail outside the ring.
Count of five now. Miz struggling.
And is he gonna be able to beat the count?
Now it's seven. Miz is moving now at a count of eight.
Count of nine, Miz barely beats the count, and Bray Wyatt with almost a look of…
[Graves] It's almost compassion.
Bray just looked at Miz and said, "Please stop."
[Michael] And Sister Abigail again! And perhaps that'll stop Miz.
-One, two, three! -[crowd counting]
-[Michael] And he does. -[bell rings]

[crowd chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Well, guys, how about what we just witnessed with Daniel Bryan?
[exhales] Wow. What a night this has been.
I'm telling you, this is unbelievable.
Oh, it certainly is. The last pay-per-view of 2019,
but King, it's time to get, well, a little personal as personal gets
here at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[Jerry] Well, you're right about that. You're talking personal.
There's Rusev. And there, of course, is Bobby Lashley.
This whole thing-- I mean, you know, I tried my best
to be a part of this and to try to rectify the situation,
it went back to a divorce court,
and things just kept getting worse and worse.
[Vic] Let's relive some of the moments between Rusev and Bobby Lashley
as we head into our Tables match here at TLC.
[singer] ♪ Do you feel me? ♪
♪ Do you feel-- ♪
You're saying I'm lying?
-Are you freaking kidding me? Really? -Lana, what are you trying to do?
-Why are you yelling? -How dare you talk--
[narrator] That's WWE superstar Rusev
and his ravishing wife, Lana,
getting into it last month in what has been, yet again,
another incident between this Ross and Rachel,
turned Brad and Jennifer.
-So, what's got these two all riled up? -Well-earned.
Time to go.
[narrator] Well, you see, it all started back in September
when Lana thought it would be a good idea to play a little tongue wrestling
with Bobby Lashley.
[Jerry] Bobby Lashley is kissing Rusev's wife.
[narrator] And from there, it's been a total nonstop roller coaster of drama,
including restaurant brawls…
accusations of infidelity…
Rusev cheated on me.
That never happened! That never happened!
[narrator] …fake pregnancies…
Rusev put a little machka brat inside me!
You're pregnant?
-[Vic] That is Bobby Lashley. -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
I cannot believe he believed I was pregnant.
[narrator] …restraining orders…
You've been served with a temporary restraining order
in the State of Illinois.
[narrator] …and multiple arrests.
[Vic] And again, the restraining order.
Rusev couldn't come 90 feet between Lana and Lashley.
[crowd cheering]
You guys had one job to do!
You're under arrest.
[Vic] Bobby Lashley is being arrested.
You should be arresting Rusev!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Lana and Lashley are gonna be cuffed out of Nashville.
[narrator] And now there seems to be only one solution,
and that's divorce.
I am here to preside over the signing of a divorce contract.
[narrator] But Rusev only had one condition.
A match with your hot, hot boyfriend, Bobby Lashley!
[crowd cheering]
[narrator] One day, will Bobby Lashley tell his children
this is how he met their mother?
After this ridiculous divorce is over, I'm gonna ask this woman to marry me.
[narrator] Or will it be Rusev's day, week, month, or even his year?
[Rusev] And I will see you whenever you want
because that's gonna happen on none other day but Rusev day!
[Vic] Oh, and Lashley.
[narrator] At TLC, there will be no tender loving care
for Rusev and Lashley. Just tables…
[Vic] Lashley through the table.
-[narrator] …Lana… -[screaming]
[narrator] …and carnage.
[bell rings]
-[Rome] The following is a Tables match. -[crowd cheering]
[Rome] In this match, there are no pinfalls,
no submissions, no count-outs, and no disqualifications.
The only way to win is to put your opponent through a table!
-[crowd cheering] -["Dominance" playing]
[Vic] Here we go, guys. As we just witnessed,
Joe, it's not TMZ, but TLC here tonight
for Lana, Lashley, and Rusev.
[Samoa Joe] You know, uh, when you say things are personal,
it really doesn't get more personal than when love is involved.
You know, it's said that there's a thin line between love and hate,
and that line has definitely been crossed tonight.
[Rome] …accompanied to the ring by "The Ravishing Russian" Lana,
from Denver, Colorado, weighing in at 260 pounds,
"The Almighty" Bobby Lashley!
[Vic] Well, Bobby Lashley and Lana set for this match,
but remember, during the divorce proceedings, King,
that you handled, Rusev only wanted one thing,
a match which he is getting tonight
for the first time ever against The Almighty.
[Jerry] And you're right about that. And I remember them--
I remember Lana talking about Rusev
wanting to have sex with her all over the place.
I mean, in the-- in the limousine and in the dressing room.
She reminded me of my first wife.
She wanted to have Olympic sex.
-[Vic] What? What's that? -[Jerry] Every four years.
[Vic] Oh, King.
["Dominance" continues]
[Vic] Well, Bobby Lashley and Lana set for action here tonight.
I can't believe it. King, oh my God.
We're getting set here for a Tables match.
Bobby Lashley, as focused as ever,
with Lana at his side, on his arm,
and here at WWE Tables, Ladders, and Chairs,
it is presented by WWE SuperCard season 6.

No tap-out, no pinfall, no count-out.
Only way to win, put your opposition through a table.
[crowd chanting] Rusev day! Rusev day!
-["Roar of the Lion" playing] -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Rome] And his opponent, weighing in at 138 kilos,
"The Bulgarian Brute" Rusev!
[Vic] King, you got a first-eye view of Rusev planting Bobby Lashley
through a table this past week on Raw.
[Jerry] Well, you're right about that, and there's nothing more
that Rusev would rather do than to repeat that here tonight.
[Vic] And look, Joe, for over a month, we witnessed the emotional turmoil
between these two, but look, there's no restraining orders tonight.
There's no cops. There's no personal security.
It's two men going one-on-one, one goes through a table.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely.
And you better believe these men are itching
to get their hands on one another.
I mean, this has been-- been boiling for a while,
and it-- that'll be ended tonight.
[Jerry] That's right about boiling.
I mean, you realize all three of these people have spent the night
in jail over this?
I understand that Lana's picture is still being used as currency
in the nationals, you know.
[crowd chanting] Rusev day! Rusev day!
[Vic] And this is all about #tablesmatch.
And you can hear the capacity crowd here at the Target Center…
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Vic] …already trying to get under the skin of Lana,
but Rusev right to the outside.
And these two men want to do one thing,
tear each other apart.
And Rusev just beating down Lashley.
[Jerry chuckles] A lot of people are thinking right now,
this is exactly what Lashley had deserved.
[Samoa Joe] He is brutalizing Lashley right now.
-[Vic] Look at The Bulgarian Brute go. -[Jerry] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Lana doesn't seem too pleased.
And, guys, again, this is all that Rusev has wanted,
to get his hands on Bobby Lashley,
a man that has ruined his marriage, has ruined his life.
[Samoa Joe] Well, absolutely. You can see that rage carrying over in his eyes.
[Jerry] Watch out, guys.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, and we're gonna get this done nice and early.
[Jerry] This may not take long.
-[Vic] Rusev already starting to move-- -[Jerry] Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.
-[Samoa Joe] Watch Lana. -[Vic] Wait a minute.
[Jerry] Lana, Lana, Lana, wait a minute, do not--
[Samoa Joe] Oh, it is those little things.
[Vic] And Lashley from behind off the distraction by Lana,
and quickly Bobby turns the tables on Rusev.
[Jerry] Oh, man, that Lana.
[Samoa Joe] It is the little things that make the difference,
and Lana is quite a bit more than just a little thing.
[Vic] Guys, if you go back all the way to the Kickoff Show,
Lana has been very testy all day today.
She was really going at Booker T. Oh!
[Samoa Joe] Well, obviously, I mean, she's very upset.
I mean, you know, she feels that this young love is being attacked.
[Vic] Well, I mean, Lana called them-- the-- Lana said she was the victim.
She and Bobby were the victim in this,
as Lashley showcasing his power, planting Rusev.
[Samoa Joe] Taking him up the mountain and dropping him down the waterfall.
[Jerry] I got to--
I got to somehow believe that poor Rusev is the victim here.
He told me they got married by a judge.
I said, "You should have asked for a jury."
Oh, look at this now.
[Vic] Right now, Lashley looking for the table again.
This is a Tables match here at TLC.
Bobby also said earlier tonight, Joe, this would be an easy win.
[Samoa Joe] And it very well could be,
but the table is a big variable because you can--
-[Jerry] Oh, look out, look out. Whoa! -[Samoa Joe] Oh!
[Vic] Oh, and Rusev quickly showcasing that speed,
closing in on Bobby Lashley
as Lashley has set that table up on the outside.
[Jerry] Anywhere they go through that table,
that's gonna count, outside, inside.
[Vic] What a right hand.
And Rusev, who's just been-- as you said earlier,
just boiling on the inside for weeks, for a month.
What would go through Rusev's mind having to watch Lashley-- oh…
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[Vic] …kiss, at the time, his wife?
[crowd cheering]
[Samoa Joe] With steel like that,
you almost wish you went through the table.
[crowd chattering]
[Samoa Joe] And see, here's what I'm talking about
when it comes to the table being a variable.
You can take this punishment, you can get beaten up,
you can rope a dope, but all you have to do to win is
put your opponent through that table.
[Vic] Well, you hear the WWE Universe,
as now Lashley up onto the shoulders of Rusev.
-[Jerry] Here we go. -[Samoa Joe] Hoisting him big.
[Vic] If Lashley goes through the table, this match is over.
[Jerry] This is gonna be it.
[Samoa Joe] Look at Lashley getting real heavy.
Trying to get the center of gravity down.
[Vic] Oh, Lashley wisely able to flip that table over
and then deliver a right hand.
And Lashley, the second time if you count Lana earlier in the matchup,
able to escape a possible put through the table.
[Jerry] Look out, look out!
[Vic] And another reversal, that time on Rusev, right into the steel steps.
[Samoa Joe] And that's a risk for trying to lift somebody like Bobby Lashley.
I mean, these guys, you know, obviously, a very world-decorated amateur wrestler.
And when he wants to be a concrete blanket, get heavy up there,
he becomes a concrete blanket and gets very, very heavy.
[Jerry] Yeah, and at the last moment before Rusev could put him
through that table, well, Lashley reached out,
flipped that table right on his-- well, right upside down there.
Well, look out now. Oh, man.
[Vic] Spine-first goes Rusev.
And Bobby Lashley would love nothing more to pick up a win tonight
because, as he has stated, too, he plans on asking Lana to marry him.
-[Jerry] And you guys-- -[Vic] Whoa!
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
-[Vic] The scary strength of Lashley. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Just about broke that table through Rusev.
[Samoa Joe] We almost had a wedding and a funeral.
[Jerry chuckles] Hey.
-[Vic] Rusev just-- -[Jerry] It'd make a good movie.
[Vic] …just able to get out of Dodge.
And Lashley now.
[Samoa Joe] Bobby Lashley is not playing games tonight.
[Vic] Now, Lashley came here to do one thing,
continue to embarrass, continue to hurt,
continue to dig at the soul of Rusev.
As Lashley again trying to move that table around on the outside.
[Jerry] What are you guys really thinking?
If Lashley wins this thing tonight, what do you think's gonna happen?
I mean, do you think maybe they'll rush off to Las Vegas
or something, where they could get married overnight, or--
[Vic] Oh, who-- You know, you think of-- Look, the things that Lana has done,
faked the pregnancy, everything she's put Rusev through,
the hell over the last month, I wouldn't put anything past her.
Now, Lashley has really been able to slow this matchup down, Joe.
And this is starting to-- getting to the pace
that Lashley would wanna have.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. But I'm a little bit worried here.
I mean, he's doing-- he's building a lot of furniture in a lot of places
but not getting a lot done.
I mean, you know, he's getting a little bit unfocused.
I-- I'd like to see him pressing against Rusev a bit more
and making sure he's finally up before we-- before we put this thing away.
[Rusev grunts]
[Vic] And again, taking too much time, Joe, to your point,
and now Rusev trying to turn the table, and no pun intended,
but, King, you talk about what if Lashley wins.
What if Lashley loses?
[Samoa Joe] Watch out, watch out, right here.
-[Vic] Oh! -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] And trying to go through the table, Lashley able to block.
Lashley's starting to fire back with the right hands,
creating some separation,
but that table is teetering, and Rusev puts on the brakes.
First man to go through the table loses.
[Jerry] Whoa, here we go, here we go.
[Vic] And Lashley puts on the brakes this time.
Lashley now, as Rusev continuing to fight free.
That table just--
[Jerry] Yeah, that table is just leaning…
-[Vic] Hanging out. -[Samoa Joe] Oh!
[Vic] Oh, Spinebuster!
[Jerry] Oh, if he'd have gone the other way with that,
it'd have been over.
-Look at her smile. -[Vic] Lana, all smiles now.
And Lashley could be moments away from picking up a Tables match victory
over Rusev.
[Jerry] Well, you asked me earlier, what would happen if Rusev wins?
I don't know. You know, we saw last week, it seemed like Rusev,
as a matter of fact, he told Lana when Lana says,
"You'll never find someone else like me,"
and Rusev said, "I don't want you. Why would I want somebody like you?"
[Vic] Lashley charging into the midsection.
And we've seen Lashley use the spear in the past, Joe,
trying to soften Rusev up, but again,
he's got to put Rusev through a table.
No pinfall, no submission.
[Jerry] We got tables-- tables coming in everywhere.
[Vic] And, Joe, our question again, Bobby Lashley right now,
as you pointed out, he's moving around a lot of furniture but not doing much.
[Samoa Joe] He's moving a lot of furniture around here,
and that's-- and that's a big part of his strategy right now.
I mean, I'd much rather see him--
to continue to work those ribs, continue to rob Rusev of his air,
make this guy-- make this guy plead to be put through a table.
[Jerry] Yeah, but if he can get enough tables--
[Samoa Joe] Well, I mean, these errors,
these costly time mistakes, these are gonna come back to haunt him.
[Jerry] Yeah, but if he can get enough tables in that ring,
Rusev may just fall through one.
Tables are everywhere. Oh.
[Vic] Face first goes Rusev, and now two tables inside the ring, King.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this now, here we go.
[Vic] To your point, anywhere Rusev could fall,
anywhere Lashley could fall,
we could see someone go through a table now.
[Samoa Joe] I think it's getting really, really dangerous up here.
[Vic] This personal rivalry…
[Samoa Joe] I think we're about to find out why.
[Vic] …that has boiled over into this Table match here at TLC.
-[Vic] Rusev slides through. -[Samoa Joe] Oh!
[Vic] Oh, face-first goes Lashley off the top turnbuckle.
[Samoa Joe] He's got him up, he's got him up.
[Vic] Again, Lashley hoisted in the air.
[Samoa Joe] But look at Lashley, he's holding on, he's holding on.
[Vic] He's holding on. He's holding on, Joe, but there's a table on the outside.
-[Samoa Joe] That's iron grip. -[Vic] There's a table on the outside.
-[Jerry] Whoa, whoa. -[Vic] Lashley's teetering.
Is Lashley gonna go through the table?
Lashley holding on with two hands.
-Rusev for a third time. -[Jerry] He's in big trouble here.
-[Vic] Lashley answers back. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, he's fine.
That's different level grip strength right there.
[Vic] Lashley with one thing on his mind now.
-[Jerry] No, you're kidding me. -[Samoa Joe] He was playing him.
[Jerry] You're kidding me. He's not gonna try this, is he?
[Vic] Lashley trying to hoist up Rusev.
-Second time, Rusev now. -[Samoa Joe] No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Vic] Look at the tables, guys.
One of these superstars' back. [grunts]
[Samoa Joe laughs]
-[Vic] Lashley's switching strategy. -[Samoa Joe] Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
[Jerry] Did he go? Did he go?
[Vic] Lashley went-- Lashley went over the table.
Lashley did not go through the table, much to the relief of Lana.
[Samoa Joe] Yeah, and that's just superior athleticism.
[Vic] Take a look one more time.
Look at the-- you call it athleticism.
Also, King, how about the presence of mind of Lashley
to realize where that table was?
[Jerry] Well, you guys can call it presence of mind or athleticism.
-[Vic] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] I think he was just lucky.
Oh boy, he may not be lucky now.
[grunts]
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Vic] Oh!
Well, Joe, now Rusev moving the furniture around,
but at least he's having some impact with it.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. I mean, this type of furniture moving, I highly approve of.
-[Vic] Where's Rusev going? -[Jerry] Who knows?
[crowd clamoring]
[Vic] Again, this action can spill anywhere in the Target Center.
Through a table, the only way to win.
[Jerry] What's he doing?
[Vic] Well, look. Rusev--
[Samoa Joe] He's bringing out the guardrail.
[Vic] Rusev's been fired up.
This is all he's wanted, King, for over a month,
to get his hands on Bobby Lashley,
to embarrass Bobby Lashley, to embarrass Lana here
on the final pay-per-view event of 2019.
[Samoa Joe] See, this right here, this illustrates what's wrong
when things get personal
because it's not just enough to put somebody through a table.
It's not just enough to come out here and be victorious.
You wanna send a message. You wanna put this guy away.
[Vic] A steel guardrail right into Lashley.
-[yells] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And no remorse on the face of The Bulgarian Brute.
[Jerry] I still don't know what he's doing with that. [chuckles]
[Vic] He just wants to cause chaos.
-[Jerry] Well, I guess, but… -[Vic] He wants to cause carnage.
[Jerry] …he's not gonna win the match with that.
[Vic] He wants to beat down Bobby Lashley so bad.
He wants to embarrass his ex-wife.
-And a rake to the eye goes Lashley. -[Samoa Joe exclaims]
[Vic] The ultimate equalizer.
And Lashley now--
[Jerry] Oh no. No!
[Vic] Oh.
-Oh my God. -[crowd chattering]
[Samoa Joe] Steel is not meant to bend that way around human flesh.
[Vic] Certainly not. And you saw the pain on the face of Rusev,
as now Lashley, again-- What's he looking for?
[Jerry] I don't know, but Lashley definitely has the upper hand
and the momentum now.
[Samoa Joe] And see, this is what I'm talking about.
[Vic] A kendo stick?
[Samoa Joe] This is the message. This is the punishment.
[Vic] Again, it's a Tables match.
The only way to win, to put your opponent through a table--
[Samoa Joe] Yes, but this is about more than that.
This is about complete satisfaction.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Vic] Right to the back of Rusev.
-[Jerry] Well-- -[Vic] Again.
[Jerry] Rusev is learning about marriage now, the hard way,
because first comes the engagement ring,
then comes the wedding ring, and then comes the suffering.
[Vic] Absolute insult to injury.
-And again. -[Jerry] Oh!
-[Vic] And look at-- -[Jerry] Oh, just--
-[Samoa Joe] Pleading. -[Vic] Look at Rusev…
-[Jerry] He is pleading. -[Vic] …just-- oh,
looking out and to Lana.
[Jerry] Pleading with his wife.
[Vic] Pleading with Lana, who's laughing in his face.
Guys, Lana's laughing in his face.
[Jerry] Come on. Let's--
[Samoa Joe] You know, I hate to call her cold-blooded.
[Jerry] Does she have no heart?
-Oh no. -[Vic] And again.
[yells]
[Vic] And Lashley just beating down Rusev.
-[crowd chattering] -[Bobby and Lana cheer]
[Vic] The depths that Lana has been willing to go
over the last month to embarrass her ex-husband.
But look at Rusev. Even with the welts forming on his body,
Rusev's still moving.
[Samoa Joe] You know, if there was a-- if there was a physical manifestation
of the turmoil that Rusev has gone through these past weeks,
you're looking at it right now.
[Vic] Rusev still trying to muster all the energy he has left
as Lashley again.
[crowd chattering]
[crowd booing]
-[Jerry] This is about a-- -[Samoa Joe] This right here…
You, sir.
[Samoa Joe] Well, it was a warrior's end.
-[Vic] Whoa. -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Vic] And there's still a fight left in Rusev.
-[Rusev grunts] -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
[Jerry] Lashley was gonna blast Rusev right across the face, and then--
[Vic] Rusev remembering all the restraining orders--
Oh, and a kick right to the midsection.
-And Rusev-- -[Jerry] Watch it.
[Vic] Oh, and Rusev to the midsection.
It's time, Rusev.
Remember the restraining orders. Remember the fake pregnancy.
-[Samoa Joe] Oh, I believe he remembers. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Vic] Remember the hell that Lashley and Lana put you through for weeks.
[grunts]
[Samoa Joe] And he is wearing Bobby Lashley out.
[grunts]
[Vic] One after another.
[Jerry] I think today really is Rusev day.
[Vic] Look of concern on the face of Lana,
as The Bulgarian Brute about to use brute force
and put Lashley through a table.
Machka Kick.
[Samoa Joe] Hell hath no fury as a Rusev scorned.
[Jerry laughs]
[Vic] Look at Rusev's size.
We haven't seen Rusev like this in weeks, King.
He said he felt free after the divorce.
Well, I can only imagine how Rusev is gonna feel.
You want more, Bobby?
-[Jerry] Oh no, wait a minute. -[Samoa Joe] Watch Lana.
-[Jerry] What? -[Vic] Lana. Come on.
-[Jerry] What is she doing? -[Vic] Lana ripping at the face of Rusev.
[Samoa Joe] She's boring those eyes.
Cutting off that air.
-[Vic] Rusev-- -[Samoa Joe] What a gal.
-[Jerry] Watch it. Watch it. -[Vic] Spear by Lashley.
-[Samoa Joe] No, no, no. -[Jerry] Thank God the table didn't break.
[Samoa Joe] No, no, no. He's still up.
[Vic] And Lashley crushing Rusev through the table.
["Dominance" playing]
[Rome] Here is your winner,
"The Almighty" Bobby Lashley!
[Vic] Lana, again, sticking it to her ex-husband, Rusev.
[Samoa Joe] You know, you can only fight the battle on so many fronts.
And unfortunately, tonight, Rusev was surrounded.
[Jerry] Man.
["Dominance" continues]
[Jerry] I guess Lana's standing outside, like, just finally had enough.
She realized that her husband, her future husband, Bobby Lashley,
was about to go through a table.
So she inserted herself into this match.
[Vic] Lana and Lashley deserve each other.
But it is Lashley who put Rusev through the table tonight.
And I can only imagine the night that Lana and her hot boyfriend
are gonna have tonight here in Minneapolis.
[Jerry] Yeah. I just think it's gonna be a "until dawn do us part" marriage.
["Dominance" continues]
[huffs]
Dawkins!
On the final, the final, the final, the final,
the final pay-per-view of the decade,
Bobby Lashley now has Lana all to himself.
Is there any advice that you wanna give to The Almighty?
Yeah. Bobby, I got three words for you.
-Get a vasectomy. -Huh?
[crowd laughing]
You can't say that.
Be real, fam.
Look, dawg, next thing you know,
he gonna have one of his little swimmers get all Michael Phelps, get a home.
Next thing you know, he's in a sulkier place, freaking--
-What the-- -[Montez] I mean, what's going on?
[wrestlers grunting]
[Jerry] Oh, look at this. Look at this.
Whoa.
[grunting continues]
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[grunting continues]
[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[grunting continues]
-[suspenseful music playing] -[controller 1] Houston Mission Control.
-[controller 2] Go ahead, Houston Control. -[controller 1] T minus 15 seconds.
Guidance is internal.
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine--
Ignition sequence started.
…six, five, four,

All engines firing.
[buzzer buzzes]
["Do You Feel Me?" playing]
[Vic] Well, the last pay-per-view of 2019 here in Minneapolis.
What a night it's been. Guys, what did we just witness between Baron--
well, between King Corbin, Roman Reigns, and the rest of the locker room?
[Samoa Joe] It seems like my favorite kind of Christmas party
is going on backstage, and they're in full swing.
I'll tell you what,
the wind chill factor is below zero right now in Minneapolis, but it is hot--
it's been hot here tonight in the Target Center.
Well, it's gonna continue to heat up because, guys,
coming up next month, the Road to WrestleMania begins
in Houston on Sunday, January 26th.
You do not want to miss the Royal Rumble.
Tickets are on sale right now at astros.com/rumble.
-Are you ready for the Royal Rumble? -Oh, absolutely.
I'm more than ready for the Royal Rumble.
Well, we are getting ready for the Road to WrestleMania,
But we're not quite done yet here at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
-Because it's all about… -[Jerry] Oh, baby.
[Vic] …the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
Charlotte Flair, Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch,
not the best friends,
but they've come together tonight to take on a common enemy,
The Kabuki Warriors, for the gold
in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
[singer] ♪ Do you feel me? Do you feel-- ♪
[Rome] They are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
Kairi Sane and Asuka,
The Kabuki Warriors!
[Vic] There's been a much more aggressive style
since Asuka and Kairi Sane won the gold.
[Samoa Joe] Those are two of the most dangerous women in WWE.
[Asuka] You have no chance. [laughs]
[crowd cheering]
Asuka, obviously, she's still bitter about losing
the SmackDown Women's Championship to me last spring.
So now she wants to use a green mist?
She knows deep down
that that's the only way that she can beat me.
I'm going to remind her that I am The Queen.
Whoo!
[Vic] Flair just going right after Kairi Sane.
The mist!
Burning the eyes of Charlotte Flair.
[Becky] You want my help with The Kabuki Warriors, eh?
You've had your problems with them, too, Becky.
But I've had an issue with you,
so I think I'd rather take my chance on both of them,
find myself for the opportunity to collect an old debt.
[chuckles]
So you're going to take them two-on-one tonight?
[Becky] That's what I'll do.
[Vic] Now it's time to see if The Man can outdo The Queen.
Becky Lynch will not back down from a challenge.
And The Man said she is here to collect an old debt.
And Becky Lynch starting to fire up.
Can Lynch take out the Women's Tag Team Champions?
Once again, the numbers advantage for The Kabuki Warriors.
-Oh! Come on. -[Samoa Joe] Oh! [laughs]
When they get frustrated, they get sadistic.
[Vic] Oh no.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, yes.
[Vic] Kairi Sane driving Lynch through the table.
[Samoa Joe laughs]
There's a cost to be The Man, but it has been paid in full.
How'd that go?
[Kairi screams]
[Asuka] We challenge you to challenge us
for our titles!
[speaking Japanese]
Thanks.
-[clears throat] -Do you wanna fight them?
Yes.
Let's up the ante.
[Becky] Tables, ladders, chairs.
[bell rings]
[Rome] The following is a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match
for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship!
In this match, there are no pinfalls, no submissions,
no count-outs, and no disqualifications.
The only way to win is to climb a ladder
and retrieve the championships that are hanging above the ring.
["Celtic Invasion" playing]
[singer] ♪ Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa! ♪
♪ Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa! ♪
[Vic] Well, what a 2019 it's been for Becky Lynch.
Go all the way back, she won the Women's Royal Rumble match.
She main evented WrestleMania.
She won the first ever women's main event at WrestleMania.
She's been the longest reigning Raw Women's Champion in history,
and tonight, she can once again become "Becky Two Belts"
and become a WWE Women's Tag Team Champion for the very first time.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, absolutely. You would be hard pressed
to find a woman who's found more success in here than Becky Lynch,
and tonight, could just add to that legacy.
[Vic] The question is tonight, King, how well can Becky Lynch coexist
with her teammate, The Queen?
[Jerry] You're right. It's like Becky Lynch is saying,
"Hey, Charlotte, why don't you take that knife out of my back, and let's, uh--
you use it on The Kabuki Warriors, you and I, right?"
You're right, these two don't see eye to eye,
and they've made no bones about it,
but tonight, they're gonna have to be on the same page. Have to be,
or they'll have no chance at being successful.
[Vic] You know, and on the Kickoff Show, Joe, Booker T was, you know,
very honest that he thought The Kabuki Warriors would win this matchup
because he does not see Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch coexisting.
[Samoa Joe] No. And you know what? They will not, and that is a big mistake
when you're dealing with women as dangerous as The Kabuki Warriors.
["Recognition" playing]
[Vic] Oh, and there is The Queen,
the ten-time Women's Champion.
[fireworks exploding]
[Jerry] Such a regal entrance for The Queen.
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, through this past Monday, King,
is where they're watching and really came together with one common enemy,
that being The Kabuki Warriors.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
But still, you just saw the expression and the look in the eyes of Becky Lynch
as she was watching Charlotte Flair come to the ring.
There's still that-- that--
I don't want to say disdain,
but there's just that uneasy feeling between these two.
[Samoa Joe] I'll be honest with you, King, look at this body language right now.
You know, this is not the body language of a team that is on the same page.
These women despise one another.
[Vic] But, guys, to David Otunga's point on the Kickoff Show,
he said that Flair and Lynch, if they could come together
to strive for greatness, they could be victorious tonight.
[Samoa Joe] They need to strive for survival, not greatness.
[Jerry] Wow, look at Charlotte.
She's got body language and quite a vocabulary.
[Vic] It's the first time
the WWE women's tag team titles have been defended
in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
So, history being made here
on the final pay-per-view of the decade at TLC.
[crowd chattering]
["Reigning Warriors" playing]
[Vic] You still felt some of the tension right there, Joe.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, absolutely.
[Jerry laughs] You could feel it.
["Reigning Warriors" continues]
[Vic] Well, here are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
who won the titles at Hell in a Cell.
But more importantly, guys, I want you to think about Asuka,
who, at this very event just one year ago, in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match,
defeated Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch
for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely, and Asuka,
she absolutely has a bone to pick with both of these ladies.
She felt-- She feels passed up. She feels put on the back burner
because of the success that they've both had this year.
[Vic] And to Joe's point, King,
as we've been sitting for Monday Night Raw,
we have seen Asuka and Kairi Sane be a thorn in the side
of both Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
Go back to September,
go back to the beginning of October, Kairi Sane defeated Becky Lynch.
[Jerry] You're right about that, but, you know, it--
it's not a mutual admiration club or anything like that.
I mean, let's face it,
The Kabuki Warriors have been a thorn in the side of every woman
in this women's division here in the WWE since they got here.
[Samoa Joe] Well, they've been far more than a thorn.
They've been Molly-whopping these girls every week, night after night.
[Jerry] "Molly-whopping"? [chuckles]
[Vic] What the heck does that mean?
[Samoa Joe] Well, you're about to see it.
[Vic] We have seen Asuka and Kairi Sane take it
to both Lynch and Charlotte Flair even this past week on Monday Night Raw.
[crowd cheering]
[Rome] Introducing the challengers,
the team of Charlotte Flair
and the Raw Women's Champion
"The Man" Becky Lynch!
[crowd cheering]
And their opponents,
they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
Kairi Sane and Asuka,
The Kabuki Warriors!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And, guys, important to note, in this Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match,
again, the difference between this TLC and the earlier TLC match,
King Corbin-- Baron-- King Corbin and Roman Reigns,
pinfall in the center of the ring. This, no rules.
Got to climb the ladder, got to retrieve the titles.
[Samoa Joe] And this definitely favors The Kabuki Warriors.
I mean, both accomplished aerialists in their own right, they know what to do
-when they get up there on that ladder. -[bell rings]
-[Jerry] And you guys talked about-- -[Vic] Oh, and here we go.
[Jerry] Just take a look around this ring.
Furniture everywhere, tables, ladders, and chairs.
[Vic] And everything is legal.
Look at Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch right off the bat,
starting to establish some dominance early on
-as Lynch going right in on Asuka. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, we're starting this ugly.
[Vic] The debt that Becky Lynch needs to collect,
could we see the return of Becky Two Belts here at TLC?
Oh, and riding Asuka right into those steel chairs.
[Samoa Joe laughs]
[Jerry] Wow, look at this.
Oh, look out, look out.
[Samoa Joe] And Charlotte is angry.
[Jerry] Things are about to get out of hand.
And, guys, listen, listen to this.
I just got a report from my headset here
that that fight between Roman Reigns and King Corbin is continuing
right at this very minute backstage.
Right now, it's still going.
[Vic] Oh, I couldn't believe what we saw,
but what about what we're gonna see here in the main event?
[Samoa Joe] Ooh, she caught that right on the corner.
[Vic] Right-- You're right,
right on the corner, right underneath her eye.
And Asuka now writhing in pain,
and Kairi Sane just getting caught.
What a right hand by The-- by The Queen.
And Charlotte Flair just showcasing her strength.
You talk about the pedigree of a champion, that is Charlotte Flair.
-Whoa! -[Jerry chuckles] Oh, man.
[Vic] Flair and Lynch, all business.
[Jerry] Well, that didn't work for Kairi Sane, did it?
[Samoa Joe] Definitely not cleared for landing.
[Charlotte] Come on, let's take it off.
-[Samoa Joe] Do what? Wait a minute. -[Vic] Take a look one more time.
-[Jerry] Oh, gosh. Whoo! -[Vic] Boom.
Right on the face.
Grab her.
-[Vic] Whoa. Joe, get out of the way. -[Jerry] Watch it, watch it.
[Samoa Joe laughs]
-[Jerry] Look out, watch it. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, this is awesome.
[Jerry laughs]
Whoa.
[Vic] We said they meant business, guys.
[Jerry chuckles] Yes, they do.
-You come to watch a show! -Come on!
[crowd chattering]
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Vic] Kairi Sane…
Asuka!
[Vic] …might wanna find an exit strategy.
You want some? You want some? You want some? Here you go.
-[Samoa Joe] And here we go. Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Samoa Joe] Red Rover, Red Rover, send Kairi right over!
[Jerry] Hey, watch it. She's coming back.
-Whoa. -[Samoa Joe laughs]
[Vic] Flair and Lynch just playing catch with Kairi Sane.
-[Kairi groans, pants] -[grunts]
[Samoa Joe] Tuck your chin.
[man] I love you, Charlotte!
[crowd chattering]
[Vic] Well, now what's on the mind of The Queen and The Man?
[Samoa Joe] Absolute devastation.
[Vic] Oh, I think they both realize both women down,
trying to get the ladder back in the ring.
-But Asuka quickly-- -[Samoa Joe] Watch Asuka. Watch Asuka.
[Jerry] Well, she wasn't down like we thought.
[Samoa Joe laughs] You do not take your eyes off of her ever.
And that's exactly why.
[Vic] Asuka from the outside,
and now Asuka just ramming right into Becky Lynch.
[Jerry] Watch it.
[Charlotte groans]
[speaking Japanese]
[Jerry] You're right, Joe, you cannot take your eyes off of Asuka.
And she is-- she's going berserk now.
[Samoa Joe] She's talking that talk.
She's letting Charlotte Flair know what she's in for.
[Jerry] Watch this chair. Oh.
-[Vic] And Kairi Sane to the back. -[Samoa Joe] Oh!
[Vic] And everything legal.
-[Samoa Joe] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] No, no, no. No, don't do this.
[Vic] Sane right into the steel chair into the face of Charlotte Flair.
[Samoa Joe] She got her bell rung.
[Jerry] These Kabuki Warriors are sadistic now.
Becky-- Becky Lynch over here,
trying to get back to her feet. Watch out, Becky.
-[Vic] And Kairi Sane now-- -[Samoa Joe] But here comes Kairi Sane.
-[Jerry] Watch out. Whoa. -[Vic] Right to the outside.
[Samoa Joe] And see, now The Kabuki Warriors are
in their environment.
[Vic] And this is where The Kabuki Warriors strive,
to Joe's point, King, the numbers advantage.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
[Samoa Joe] Swarm like piranha and keep going till there's nothing left.
-[Vic] And Lynch-- Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, wow!
[Vic] Innovative move by The Man. And Lynch now--
[Samoa Joe] We gotta check Asuka's eye. That was--
[Jerry] Man, Asuka went face-first into that overturned table--
oh, that chair, and now into the ladder.
[Vic] A ladder right into the face of Asuka.
And those championships hanging high above the ring.
-Becky Lynch trying to grab the ladder. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, watch out, watch out.
They're battling.
[Jerry] Becky trying to pull her in, and-- Oh, look out.
[Samoa Joe] Here comes Charlotte.
[Jerry] Watch it, oh!
[Vic] Face-first and a second time goes Kairi Sane.
Lynch takes out Asuka.
[Jerry] Guys, you got to admit, it looks like
Becky Lynch and Charlotte are on the same page right now,
and they better be.
[crowd wooing]
[Samoa Joe] The momentum has definitely shifted.
[Vic] Whoa. Guys, take a look at this.
-The Man and The Queen working together. -[Samoa Joe] Here we go, guys.
Look, Kairi Sane's back up.
[Vic] Sane from behind and able to thwart the attack
as Kairi Sane jumping on the back of Charlotte Flair.
[Jerry] This is total bedlam.
[Vic] These four women absolutely despise each other.
[Jerry] Yes, they do. Oh.
[Samoa Joe] I think at this point, even "despise" would be an understatement.
-[Jerry] Now what? Now what? Now what? -[Vic] Oh, it didn't work the first time.
Second time, will it be the charm?
[Samoa Joe] Here we go.
[Vic] Asuka, right into the steel post, face-first.
[Jerry] I thought she was gonna go through the table,
but that may have been worse.
[Vic] Joe, The Queen and The Man have worked pretty well together.
[Samoa Joe] Yeah, so far, but the night is young.
[Vic] And now quickly, Charlotte and Becky Lynch
-getting the ladder in the ring. -[Jerry] Here we go.
[Vic] First one to climb up and retrieve the titles.
Could we have new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions
here at TLC?
[Jerry] Watch out.
-Oh, that didn't work. -[Samoa Joe] Uh-oh. Oh.
-[Jerry] Oh no. -[Samoa Joe] Got her in the lip.
[Jerry] Oh, look out. She snappy.
Whoa.
Watch out, watch out, watch out. Watch it. Jeez!
[Samoa Joe] Whoa.
[Jerry] Look at them--
-Look at Becky and Charlotte. -[Samoa Joe] I can't even begin to--
[Jerry] Watch it. Whoo.
-Whoa! -[Samoa Joe] Look.
-[Jerry] Look out! -[Samoa Joe] Hey, hey.
[Jerry chuckles] Oh my gosh. That's just insane. This is great.
[Vic] Well, Flair and Lynch had the high ground.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Vic] And now--
-[Samoa Joe] They definitely did. -[Vic] Uh-oh.
-[Jerry chuckles] Yeah. -[Samoa Joe] Well, there goes--
-[Vic] Nowhere for Kairi to go. -[Samoa Joe] Kairi went under the ring.
[Jerry] I don't blame her.
[Vic] Kairi doing anything she can to get away from Lynch and Flair.
[Samoa Joe] They get into a lot of bad stuff down there.
-I wouldn't stay there for too long. -[Jerry] Yeah. You're right about that.
There could be anything underneath a WWE ring.
[Vic] Lynch and Flair just trying to-- They able to grab her?
-[Jerry] Can they get her out? -[Vic] Oh, it looks like it.
-Nowhere for Kairi Sane to go. -[Samoa Joe] Wait, wait.
Watch out. Watch out.
-[Vic] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
I told you. I told you.
[Samoa Joe] Merry Christmas.
[Vic] And now Asuka. What does Asuka have?
[Jerry] She's got a rope. Look out.
[Vic] Asuka with a rope, just beating down Becky and Charlotte.
-[Jerry] Good grief. This is crazy. -[yells]
-[Jery] Look out. Look out. -[Samoa Joe] Hey, hey, hey.
-[Jerry] Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. -[Samoa Joe] Okay, okay.
-[Jerry] Okay. -[Samoa Joe] All right.
[crowd cheering, chattering]
[Jerry] Guys, look out.
Kairi Sane's aim is not too great with those chairs.
[Vic] Well, Becky Lynch just getting--
Oh, wait a minute, Kairi Sane.
-[Samoa Joe] Whoa. Oh no. -[Jerry] Oh.
-[Samoa Joe] Right on the chair. -[Vic] Right onto those steel chairs.
-[laughs] -[Asuka and Charlotte grunt]
[Vic] And Kairi just laughing, but look at Charlotte Flair,
The Queen getting up to try to fight back.
But the numbers advantage, the MO of The Kabuki Warriors.
-[Samoa Joe] It's just too much. -[Jerry] Guys, the--
[Samoa Joe] It's just too much. They're always swarming.
-[Vic] Get out of the way. -[Samoa Joe] They're always swarming.
[Jerry] And the back of Becky's head hit hard. She may be out over here.
[Vic] Charlotte Flair trying her best to beat down Kairi Sane.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Look at this.
[Vic] But Asuka-- Everything legal in this Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
[grunts]
[Jerry] Man.
[Samoa Joe] I think that--
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair and Asuka--
-What are they doing? -[Samoa Joe] Oh, they're locking her in.
-[Jerry] Oh, guys. -[Samoa Joe] They're locking her in.
[Vic] They're trying to fight free.
-[Samoa Joe laughs] -[Jerry] I mean--
[Samoa Joe] See now, this, this is the type of things that I'm talking about.
These ladies are sadistic.
[Jerry] Well, and to that point, Joe, I mean, let's face it,
Becky and Charlotte are two great individuals,
but The Kabuki Warriors, I mean, they're a team.
-[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. -[Jerry] They know each other so well.
[Vic] Look at these kicks just connecting from Asuka.
[Jerry] And they work together so well. Look at this.
[Vic] Right now, Asuka just wearing out Charlotte Flair.
And Becky Lynch, King, to your point,
is just starting to move here in front of us,
after landing on a-- on a plethora of chairs.
-[Samoa Joe] And I'll tell you right now. -[Jerry] Hey, that's our monitor.
[Samoa Joe] The reason this is happening right now
is because Becky Lynch and Charlotte cannot get on the same page.
[Jerry] That's our monitor.
[Samoa Joe] And what you're looking at now,
The Kabuki Warriors are quite possibly
the greatest women's tag team in the history of WWE.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
Well, that's all great.
But I wish we weren't this close to them right now.
[Vic] Oh, what is-- you guys, what is Kairi Sane doing?
Kairi Sane has tied the rope to the ladder.
Well, King, you've been around a lot of TLC matches.
-I mean, what-- -[Jerry] I couldn't tell you.
I don't think I've ever witnessed one like this.
-Oh, no. -[Vic] Oh, and Asuka--
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
Oh, look, look. Look at this, the rope.
Kairi Sane, she tied the rope to the table--
-I mean, to the--to the ladder. -[Samoa Joe] And, gentlemen,
you bear with us right now as to why
you do not take The Kabuki Warriors lightly.
[Vic] Asuka holding down Becky Lynch.
Kairi Sane using some-- or what was that?
-[Jerry] Oh my gosh, look at this. -[Samoa Joe] That's a cargo rope.
That's what that is.
And they're strapping The Man nice and tight.
[Vic] Right in front of us.
Kairi Sane just laughing,
Asuka just rubbing her forearm in the face of Lynch.
[Jerry] Guys, we've talked about the numbers game with these two before.
They have completely taken Becky Lynch out of this match.
[Samoa Joe] Obviously, Kairi Sane sailing past,
coming into play here with that perfectly tied knot.
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair doing her best to get back on her feet, has Kairi Sane.
-[Jerry] Watch out. Watch out. -[Vic] But Asuka, a sliding kick
right to the ear, Shining Wizard-Esque.
[crowd chattering]
[Jerry] Well, you talk about-- you said it, Joe.
These two are sadistic when they get going.
[Vic] Oh.
[Samoa Joe] And what they're going right now,
is they're teaching a lesson to the women's locker room.
[Jerry] And, guys, Becky is totally bound up over here.
She cannot get free. There's no way.
[Vic] And this, now, has turned into a two-on-one Handicap match,
which we've seen the last several weeks on Raw.
[Jerry] This is not--this is not good.
[Samoa Joe] Becky Lynch still frustratingly trapped.
[Jerry] This is not gonna turn out well for Charlotte and Becky.
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair to the front row.
And, guys, the ladder is set up center of the ring
for The Kabuki Warriors.
[Jerry] There's nothing to stop them now.
Becky is tied to this ladder on the side of the ring
over here in front of us.
[Vic] Kabuki Warriors called their shot on Raw.
They challenged Lynch.
They challenged Flair to the titles
here tonight at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[Jerry] Well, they can take their sweet time now.
[Samoa Joe] Charlotte still down and out of commission.
[Vic] Becky Lynch tied up right here in front of us.
-[Samoa Joe] She's struggling. -[Vic] Asuka and Kairi Sane.
[Jerry] I don't even know where Charlotte is.
Look at Becky Lynch.
[Vic] Becky Lynch-- there's nowhere for Lynch to go.
Asuka and Kairi Sane closing in on retaining the WWE--
[Samoa Joe] But watch out, everybody, it's Charlotte Flair.
[Vic] Flair with the kendo stick, then one hit right to the back.
[Jerry] Man.
[Vic] And look at Charlotte Flair unleashed.
[Jerry] Just in the nick of time, Charlotte-- oh, with that kendo stick.
[Vic] It's the old Queen striking again here at TLC.
[Jerry] Charlotte, over here.
I don't think Charlotte even knows where Becky Lynch is.
[Vic] Well, you think too that Charlotte Flair would love to prove a point
that she can beat The Kabuki Warriors two-on-one.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely, King. I don't think Charlotte gives a damn.
This is the perfect opportunity to prove what she's always said.
-[Jerry] Whoa, whoa. -[Vic] Oh.
[Jerry] Man.
[Vic] Ladder right into the face of Asuka,
and how quickly the tide has changed in this matchup.
Kairi Sane just getting tossed.
[Samoa Joe] But you see, therein lies a problem.
Getting rid of Kabuki Warriors, you got rid of your ladder.
[Jerry] Joe, Becky's-- look at Becky.
[Vic] And again, Asuka back into those steel steps--
or excuse me, the steel chairs.
[Samoa Joe] I wasn't kidding about the sailor knot.
-[man] Oh, look out! -[crowd cheering]
Oh, that hurt. That hurt.
[Samoa Joe] It seems that The Queen's finally found an answer
to The Kabuki Warriors.
[Vic] Well, I think The Queen just got mad.
She had enough for The Kabuki Warriors.
And we're seeing some old Charlotte Flair coming out here tonight.
Oh. Yes, yes, yes.
-[Jerry] Yes. -[crowd cheering]
[Samoa Joe] I have to-- I have to question this, too.
[Jerry] What do you mean? Oh, look out. Look out.
[Vic] Oh.
[Jerry] Man.
[shouting]
[Vic] And Asuka able to rebound,
refocus,
and quickly almost out of desperation.
[Jerry] And Becky, still not completely untied.
She still can't get free.
[Vic] And Asuka again, and Kairi Sane, and into the steel steps.
The point is Charlotte Flair's elbow.
[Kabuki Warriors shouting]
-[Samoa Joe] Oh, no. -[Jerry] Okay. Wait a minute.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
[Samoa Joe] But it seems that Kairi Sane is gonna have-- wait a minute.
-[Vic] Insane Elbow. -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
-[Jerry] Wait, Becky got her feet up. -[Vic] Lynch got her knees up.
Lynch kicking Asuka in the face, Lynch trying to fight.
Can The Man wiggle her way free?
[Samoa Joe] She's struggling to get that rope.
-[Jerry] Yes. -[Vic] Charlotte Flair--
[Samoa Joe] It's just loose enough.
[Vic] Charlotte Flair loosened the rope. Lynch able to get herself free.
[Jerry] Come on, Becky.
She's up.
[Samoa Joe] And The Man's about to come calling.
[Jerry] She is free.
[Vic] The Man is up.
-[Jerry] And Charlotte is up. -[Vic] The Queen is up.
[Charlotte and Becky yelling]
[Vic] And The Queen and The Man switching gears.
[Jerry] They've gone berserk.
Look out.
[Vic] Becky with the chair.
Lynch again to the back of Sane.
We talk about Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
And now, wait a minute. Hold on a second.
-[Samoa Joe] Whoa. -[Jerry] Oh, wow.
[Vic] Charlotte Flair.
-And--oh, there's Becky Lynch. -[Jerry] There she is.
-[Vic] With that cane in hand. -[Jerry] Oh!
Lynch and Flair able to find their third and fourth win in this matchup.
Guys, we might have new Tag Team Champions.
Flair and Lynch are on the same page.
[Jerry] I'm not even worried about that right now.
I'm just enjoying this beat down.
[Samoa Joe] But like you said earlier, Vic,
this is not contingent on beating up The Kabuki Warriors.
It's contingent on grabbing that ladder,
and ascending up and grabbing those championships.
[Vic] We saw those titles hanging high above the ring.
[Jerry] We got chairs.
We got chairs everywhere.
-[Vic] And now--oh. -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
[Vic] Right back in, goes Asuka.
[Jerry] You know, I think Charlotte wants to introduce
Kairi Sane's face to the chair.
-[Vic] Well, I think right now -[Jerry] Oh, wait.
for Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, it's not just about championships.
It's about beating down The Kabuki Warriors.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[Vic] Oh.
Can Charlotte and Becky be on the same page?
Yes, indeed.
The Queen, The Man.
[crowd cheering]
[Samoa Joe] Momentum has definitely shifted.
But right now, this is where Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair
need to be taking advantage, grabbing that ladder,
and getting those championships.
[Jerry] This truly is awesome.
Where's the nearest-- well, there's a ladder right there.
Is that one of the tall ones?
[Vic] These four women have put their bodies
through just about everything here tonight,
but now--oh, no,
Becky Lynch.
-Look at Charlotte Flair. -[Jerry] Are you kidding me?
[Vic] Flair cutting off Kairi Sane, into the steel steps.
Nowhere for Asuka to go.
[Jerry] Becky, Becky, Becky, be careful.
-[Vic] The Man. -[Jerry] Oh.
Oh.
[Vic] Becky Lynch willing to sacrifice herself to destroy Asuka tonight.
[Jerry] Well, that may have done it.
Watch this.
[Vic] One more look.
-[Jerry] Incoming. -[Vic] Boom.
[Samoa Joe] And she catches Asuka deep in the sternum.
She won't be breathing right for a while.
[crowd chattering]
[Vic] And now, again, on the same page.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Vic] One mind.
Oh.
One thought, and that is destruction.
[Jerry] You know, it's funny.
I mean, it's like that Becky and Charlotte have, you're right,
been thinking of nothing but destruction.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh.
[Jerry] Not one time have they really attempted to get the ladder in
to go up and retrieve those championships.
They just wanna beat down these Kabuki Warriors.
And they're not--they're not done yet.
[Vic] Bad intentions running through the mind
of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, King--
King, to your point, we just saw Asuka driven through a table.
And it looks like Charlotte and Becky
have the same plan for Kairi Sane.
[Jerry] How much more can these Kabuki Warriors take?
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. -[Samoa Joe] You know, I realize
the need for vengeance by Becky and Charlotte.
But at some point, you have to secure this victory.
[Vic] Well, maybe Becky and Charlotte think everything is in hand
because now, looking for maybe a double suplex through the table.
-[Samoa Joe] They got her up. -[Vic] Kairi Sane is up.
-[Samoa Joe] They got her up. -[Vic] Sane--oh.
[Jerry] What?
[Vic] Sane was able to counter into a double DDT.
[Jerry] How on Earth did she do that?
You got to give Kairi Sane a world of credit there.
This was almost over for her.
[Vic] You see some welts forming on the back of Kairi Sane,
with the insane elbow from our table onto Lynch.
Lynch was able to get the knees up to block it for a moment.
Kairi Sane now trying to lay it all on the lane.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Vic] Well, Joe, this didn't work for Kairi Sane off the table,
which I mentioned.
-What is she thinking now? -[Samoa Joe] Oh.
[Vic] Oh.
Charlotte Flair able to get out of the way, Becky was not able to.
So, while Kairi Sane didn't take out both, she at least was able to land on Lynch.
[Jerry] And it did just as much damage to Kairi Sane as it did to Becky.
[Samoa Joe] You know, incredible, incredible awareness by Charlotte Flair
to get out of the way at the last second.
Obviously, Kairi Sane didn't get all of that.
[Vic] You know, Joe, in this sort of match,
this late into this matchup, it's about calculated risks, is it not?
-[Samoa Joe] Oh, absolutely. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Samoa Joe] And at this point, you wanna throw out all the stops.
[Jerry] You don't think they're throwing out all the stops?
What more stops could there be?
[Vic] Well, the last stop will be climbing up a ladder,
retrieving the WWE women's tag team titles.
And Kairi Sane and Charlotte Flair,
the only two moving for their respective teams.
[Jerry] Guys, these women have put themselves through hell here tonight.
[Samoa Joe] Kairi Sane on an island right now.
-[Vic] Uh-oh. -[Samoa Joe] Charlotte Flair stalking.
-[Vic] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] Oh, look out.
[Vic] And Flair, just running over Kairi Sane.
-And now -Move it.
[Vic] Flair, the power,
the pedigree of a champion
being showcased tonight at Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[Samoa Joe] Kairi is fighting it.
[Vic] Kairi trying her best, but Charlotte--
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Charlotte yells]
[Samoa Joe] But there is no fighting gravity.
[Jerry] Watch it. Watch it.
[Vic] And Asuka from behind,
-looking for the German suplex. -[Samoa Joe] On the floor.
[Jerry] Guys, what is it gonna take to put these warriors away?
[Vic] One more look, Kairi Sane.
[Jerry] That should be it for Kairi Sane.
But all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Kabuki Warrior number one or two.
-[Vic] Well, that's Asuka. -[Jerry] Asuka shows up.
[Vic] Asuka now putting a table on top of Becky Lynch.
Asuka, who, again as we mentioned,
defeated both Lynch and Charlotte Flair last year
at this very event to win the SmackDown Live
[Samoa Joe] Asuka moving like a-- moving like a woman possessed.
[Vic] Women's title.
Asuka now, just trying to bury Charlotte Flair.
-[Samoa Joe] Stacking up the carnage. -[Vic] Trying to bury Becky Lynch.
[Jerry] What is she doing?
[Vic] Asuka trying to pin down the challengers,
so she has an easy path to climb for the titles.
[crowd chattering]
[Samoa Joe] Some sound strategy by Asuka.
[Jerry] Well, I don't know if this is sound strategy right now.
I think she should just go by herself up one of those ladders.
[Samoa Joe] You know, she's just-- she's just setting up a sentry,
a guard, you know.
[Vic] Asuka pulling Kairi Sane out of that rubble of the table,
but when you talk about rubble, take a look at the challengers.
[Samoa Joe] Saying, "You watch them, I'm gonna go get--"
[Asuka speaking Japanese]
[shouting in Japanese]
[Vic] And Asuka just shouting to Kairi Sane for a moment, a plan.
[Jerry] Another ladder.
Oh, yeah. Got to get one of those ladders in the ring.
[Vic] Let's not forget, that was the ladder
that Becky Lynch was tied to, early on in this matchup,
as Asuka and Kairi Sane working together
to get that ladder into the ring.
And, Joe, to your point, one can climb the ladder,
the other stands guard.
[Samoa Joe] And that's exactly why she woke her up.
I got to admit, Vic, that's a big ladder.
-[Jerry] Yes, it is. -[Samoa Joe] She needs the help.
[Vic] Kairi Sane, Asuka,
setting up that huge ladder.
[Jerry] They're using that rope to try to--
I don't know what they're doing.
[Vic] Well, trying to position open the ladder up a little bit.
[Jerry] Oh, yeah. You got to get all of that.
[Vic] Again, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair,
buried underneath chairs, buried underneath the table.
And now for Asuka and Kairi Sane, they're trying to climb now.
[Samoa Joe] She set up the pick and go.
[Vic] Kairi Sane, she's standing guard.
[Samoa Joe] The ladder is ready.
-[Jerry] Oh. There goes Asuka. -[Vic] Asuka just has to climb.
-[Jerry] Asuka's going up. -[Vic] Asuka climbing the ladder.
-Flair and-- -[Samoa Joe] Oh, dear.
[Vic] Flair and Lynch are back up. Flair and Lynch with steel chairs in hand.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Vic] Lynch-- Asuka, Kairi Sane running.
[Jerry] Watch it. Watch it.
[Vic] Right in-- right into Becky Lynch.
Charlotte Flair to the back of Asuka.
[Jerry] Come on. Come on.
Look out.
[Vic] Lynch, Flair, beating down The Kabuki Warriors.
Climb the ladder, ladies.
[Jerry] Somebody go up that ladder.
-[Samoa Joe] Now is the time. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Vic] Asuka, big planted boot to the face.
Chair ricocheting off the cheek of Asuka.
And now Lynch to the outside, to the back of Sane.
[Samoa Joe] Oh, this has gotten much more than just a little personal.
[Jerry] Yeah. This is their chance.
[Vic] This is going above and beyond.
As again--whoa.
Kairi Sane able to get out of the way and into the midsection.
All four of these women,
so much has been taken out of them in this matchup.
[Jerry] Right. Have you ever seen a match go back and forth like this one has?
[Vic] Fatigue starting to set in for all four of these women,
at this juncture in the matchup, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
[Jerry] Another table with Charlotte Flair.
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair, again, bad intentions running through the mind
of all four of these women since the opening bell.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely. You talk about fatigue.
You also can talk about the trauma these ladies have put each other through.
[Vic] And Charlotte Flair now with Asuka positioned.
The last time we saw this,
it was Becky Lynch flying off the ropes,
-crashing through Asuka. -[Jerry] And look at this.
Look at this.
[Samoa Joe] And The Queen is gonna take to the skies.
[Vic] Charlotte Flair now, all the way to the top rope.
[Jerry] Yeah. But, wait, look out.
[Vic] Asuka with a little bit left in the tank.
No, no.
Asuka trying to grab The Queen.
-[Jerry] No, no, no, no. -[Vic] You got to be kidding me.
-[Jerry] No. -[Vic] You got to be kidding me.
[Charlotte] Stop! Stop!
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Vic] Boom!
[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[Vic] Charlotte Flair, powerbombed through the table.
Look at the fall.
-Look at the landing. -[Samoa Joe] Look at the impact.
[Jerry] She was hurt bad, real bad.
-[Vic] Charlotte Flair -[Jerry] Oh.
[Vic] and Becky Lynch with a Bexploder of Asuka
into these-- the ladders that are set up on the outside, not once…
-[Jerry] Not again. -[Vic] …but twice.
And, guys, Becky's got to realize, she's by herself now.
There's no one left for The Man.
The Queen's been isolated. She's been taken out.
Becky Lynch has to be a one-man army.
Lynch has to climb.
-Lynch realizing-- -[Jerry] Look at--look at Asuka.
[Vic] Lynch realizing she wasn't gonna get to the titles,
is now just beating down Asuka,
right back to Asuka.
[Jerry] Man.
[Vic] Asuka being isolated by Becky Lynch.
And this is Lynch's opportunity, guys.
[Jerry] Get up that ladder. Come on, Becky.
[Vic] Lynch has to take every opportunity to climb that ladder.
[Jerry] That ladder is not in the right place.
It's not in the right--there you go. Come on.
[Vic] Lynch able to center it, Lynch now climbing.
-Look at Lynch. -[Samoa Joe] She's almost there.
[Vic] Lynch is right there.
-We're gonna see the return. -[Samoa Joe] And we have new champions.
-[Vic] Becky two belts. -[Jerry] No, no.
[Samoa Joe] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
[Vic] Asuka using that rope to pull the ladder over.
Lynch all the way to the outside,
Asuka now.
[Jerry] Are you kidding me?
-[Vic] Presence of mind to pull that rope. -[Jerry] Becky, Becky.
[Samoa Joe] Absolutely.
-[Vic] To knock over that ladder. -[Samoa Joe] She's got to power it up.
She's got to get that ladder up.
[Jerry] Charlotte? Where's Charlotte?
[Vic] Becky Lynch has been taken care of.
Charlotte Flair, powerbombed through the table.
[Samoa Joe] This is the best opportunity she's had all night.
[Vic] The Empress of Tomorrow climbing the ladder.
Every rung getting closer and closer…
-[Samoa Joe] Go for gold. -[Vic] …to the titles.
-[Jerry] Becky. -[Vic] Asuka to the top.
-[Jerry] Becky. -[Vic] Asuka…
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Vic] …and Kairi Sane retain.
[Samoa Joe] And still.
[Rome] Here are your winners, and still
the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
The Kabuki Warriors.
[Vic] The Kabuki Warriors-- oh, wait a minute.
-[Jerry] Hold on a second. -[Vic] There's that fight, King.
The fight you were talking about.
-[Samoa Joe] Oh. -[Jerry] Are they out here?
[Vic] The Kabuki Warriors retain.
But right now, King Corbin and Roman Reigns.
[Jerry] They're back out here in the arena.
[Vic] What the heck is this?
-Corbin-- -[Jerry] It's behind us.
It's behind us, guys.
[Vic] And look at that locker room breaking free,
Raw and SmackDown superstars.
Where's Reigns and Corbin going?
[Samoa Joe] I believe things have gotten out of control.
[Vic] All hell breaking loose in Minneapolis.
[Jerry] Those guys have been fighting for 30 minutes now.
-Look at this. -[Vic] King Corbin trying to fight back.
[Jerry] Look out. Look out.
[Vic] Have we ever seen anything like this?
[Jerry] Look out, guys.
[Samoa Joe] Everybody is out there, swinging.
[Vic] King Corbin, rocked. And Roman Reigns, spear.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Samoa Joe] Oh, no.
[Vic] You got to be kidding me.
It's a-- wow. I can't believe what we just saw. ar.
