00:00:00Now.
00:00:05Forever.
00:00:14Together.
00:00:22We're here in Anaheim, California,
00:00:29where the countdown is on.
00:00:31In just five days,
00:00:32the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line,
00:00:34and yet right here, right now,
00:00:36these fans at the Honda Center,
00:00:38they know there are twists, turns,
00:00:40and title come up to deal with.
00:00:42Charlotte and Alexa,
00:00:44the Twisted Queens are here.
00:00:47Flair and Bliss,
00:00:49the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
00:00:52They look to defend against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria tonight.
00:00:56And no fear, not here.
00:00:59The Dynamic Penta has a target on the IC title.
00:01:02He meets up with the big Bulgarian Rusev
00:01:05to decide who gets another shot at Dirty Dom.
00:01:08That's coming up in moments.
00:01:10As this is the kind of card that brings a sellout here.
00:01:16A massive crowd at the Honda Center has arrived for Raw.
00:01:26Tonight we draw closer.
00:01:28Saturday night's main event.
00:01:30A week removed from so much more Monday Madness.
00:01:34This is what went down then.
00:01:40World Heavyweight Championship.
00:01:42We found out the news earlier tonight.
00:01:44Seth Rollins out the injured, needed surgery.
00:01:46So CM Punk has to have somebody to battle
00:01:50for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:01:52The winner of this battle royal will be the man.
00:01:55Saturday night's main event.
00:01:57I am here to scout.
00:01:59They are underway here.
00:02:01They're not wasting time, huh?
00:02:03Look at the Judgment Day!
00:02:05The Usos are cooking together.
00:02:14Jimmy Uso just saving his brother Jay from elimination.
00:02:17They keep going that way.
00:02:18One of those two is gonna win this thing.
00:02:20Jimmy helps him out again.
00:02:30That's big.
00:02:31That is huge.
00:02:36Big Jim at night wrapped up over the top rope.
00:02:40His brother saved it twice!
00:02:46But watch out for Darcy Dump!
00:02:48It's a Jey Uso victory!
00:02:58Jey Uso wins the number one contender's battle royal.
00:03:02He will face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:07And here in Anaheim, California, dead center in the ring.
00:03:19There it is.
00:03:20The World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:22Vacated after the injury to Seth Rollins.
00:03:25And now two men who know what it is like to hold it.
00:03:28So desperate to get it back.
00:03:30There it is a secret to get it back.
00:03:31It's Tek 005!
00:03:32This Trump can run long enough to manage..
00:03:38To eliminate theielding fan from us.
00:03:40Math?!
00:03:44What are you doing today?
00:03:47All right.
00:03:49Go to Matt YES!
00:03:51Go to Matt!
00:03:52Go to Matt YES!
00:03:54Go to Matt.
00:03:56Go to MattRY!
00:03:58Let's go.
00:04:28Let's go.
00:04:58Let's go.
00:05:28Oh, he's high in that prize.
00:05:31There has been a different edge to Jay lately.
00:05:33It's been six months since that magic night at Mania, but Wade, he will fight for the World Heavyweight Championship again.
00:05:48Yes, indeed.
00:05:49After Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship, we don't like that situation and we are going to fix that stat.
00:06:00We've got two number one contenders.
00:06:03You're looking at one of them right now.
00:06:05The other being C and Pond.
00:06:08They go head to head.
00:06:09This Saturday at Saturday night's main event, the winner gets the gold.
00:06:15The winner becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:06:19That is this Saturday, Saturday night's main event.
00:06:22It's an incredible weekend in Salt Lake City with SmackDown and Saturday night's main event.
00:06:27Tickets are available as well as the Priority Pass for the massive card Saturday night.
00:06:32And Jey Uso looks ready for Saturday night's main event right here, right now.
00:06:40And so does this audience.
00:06:41Royal Rumble win put him in position for Mania.
00:07:02And now the Battle Royal a week ago has put him in position here for Saturday night's main event just five days away.
00:07:11And now the Battle Royal a week ago has put him in position.
00:07:16The rest is on the ground.
00:07:18And that's what he said.
00:07:19and that's what he said.
00:07:21Oh!
00:07:23Oh!
00:07:23Oh!
00:07:24Oh!
00:07:24Oh!
00:07:25Oh!
00:07:26Oh!
00:07:27Oh!
00:07:28Oh!
00:07:29Oh!
00:07:30Oh!
00:07:31Oh!
00:07:32Oh!
00:07:33Oh!
00:07:34Oh!
00:07:35Oh!
00:07:35Oh!
00:07:36Oh!
00:07:37Oh!
00:07:38Oh!
00:07:38Oh!
00:07:39Oh!
00:07:39Oh!
00:07:40Oh!
00:07:40Oh!
00:07:41Oh!
00:07:41What do you say, Joe, we run this pack?
00:08:11When you sell all 13,812 seats, you do just that, Wade!
00:08:41I don't care!
00:08:43I don't care!
00:08:45I don't care!
00:08:47I don't care!
00:08:49Yeah!
00:08:51It's on me now, who?
00:08:53It's on me!
00:08:55I don't care!
00:08:56I don't care!
00:08:57I don't care!
00:09:01I don't care!
00:09:31J. Night Raw.
00:09:40Got a lot of people in my ear these days,
00:09:43Uss.
00:09:45Got Roman in my ear.
00:09:48Got Jimmy in my ear.
00:09:52Everybody mama in my ear.
00:09:56But I'm going to tell you all this right now, Uss.
00:09:58Uss, right now, I don't give a damn what they think about me.
00:10:09Yeah, because it's just me, Uss.
00:10:12It's just me for the number one contender.
00:10:14It's just me, Saturday night.
00:10:17And it's just me going to be the new world heavyweight champion two times.
00:10:23Hey, y'all know the lingo.
00:10:25Four letters, one word.
00:10:28Woo.
00:10:30Woo.
00:10:30Woo.
00:10:31Woo.
00:10:31Woo.
00:10:42Woo.
00:10:43I love you, my life's not the same
00:10:49You're the first of the night I've seen
00:10:54I know you're in here, I know you're in here
00:10:59I can't even think you want to play, baby
00:11:05I love you, my life's not the first of the night I've seen
00:11:09Of course, it was CM Punk who earned number one status himself with a triple threat win
00:11:24over Jey Uso and LA Knight.
00:11:29Always controversial, always captivating, and perhaps this coming Saturday, we will
00:11:38be calling CM Punk World Heavyweight Champion if he can defeat main event Jey Uso at Saturday
00:11:47night's main event.
00:11:49Punk's birthday yesterday, but that's the only present he wants, and it won't be gifted.
00:11:54He's going to have to earn it on Saturday against Jey.
00:11:58For five minutes, he had it this summer.
00:12:08I'm the smiling face of your TV, but I'm not the person I want to see.
00:12:19I ask for you to stay with me.
00:12:24And don't you really want me to play?
00:12:28I'll see you next time.
00:12:53I apologize for stealing your stuff.
00:13:20Four letters.
00:13:23One word, punk.
00:13:33I'm going to do my best not to get in your personal space tonight, because Saturday, that's all you're going to get is me in your grill.
00:13:42But before we get to Saturday, let's talk about tonight right now.
00:13:47I'm happy for you.
00:13:49You're finally listening to you.
00:13:52You're not listening to all the noise, Jimmy, Roman.
00:13:56And there's no secret, there's no secret, Anaheim, that me and Jay are friends, which makes it harder for me to lace them up against you.
00:14:07I always try to put myself in my opponent's shoes, but I've never been in your situation, because I've always listened to myself.
00:14:18I follow my heart, I listen to my gut, and I believe in myself, which is easy to do when you're winning.
00:14:25It's a lot harder to do when you're losing or when you're about to lose.
00:14:33I had a lot of questions coming out here, and your body language answers a lot of them for me.
00:14:45Your actions last week answer a lot of questions for me.
00:14:49I know you got what it takes.
00:14:52I watched you throw your brother over the top rope.
00:15:01Congratulations on winning the Battle Royal, by the way.
00:15:04And ladies and gentlemen, I don't mean to admonish you, but you don't boo that.
00:15:08It's well within the rules.
00:15:09It's every man for himself.
00:15:11Jay's just showing everybody, including me, that he's got what it takes.
00:15:18And if you're listening to you, you're not listening to anybody else, I'm talking to you, Jay.
00:15:30You got what it takes, but how far are you willing to go?
00:15:39I'm not asking Big Jim's brother, and I'm certainly not asking Little Roman.
00:15:44I'm asking main event Jey Uso, how far are you willing to go?
00:15:57Because you're not the only one who needs to be champion again.
00:16:04The small amount of time I held on to that title at SummerSlam after besting Gunther was way too short.
00:16:11I need to be champion like I need air in my lungs.
00:16:22And I know how far I'm willing to go.
00:16:26But Saturday night, Saturday night's main event, Jey Uso versus CM Punk,
00:16:32when you're face down on the mat after I've knocked out your grill,
00:16:37and you look up and realize that you're in a situation you can't yeet yourself out of.
00:16:45Look at me.
00:16:46How far are you willing to go?
00:16:49Let's go, Punk.
00:17:14I've been in deep waters before.
00:17:21I know how to swim.
00:17:23But you're going to do what you always do.
00:17:26You're going to spin the block, have these people thinking you're the man to get behind, right?
00:17:32That's what you do.
00:17:34As soon as I do something right for me, he's going to paint the picture like I'm the bad guy.
00:17:38I know, I know, and guess what?
00:17:43Screw you, Punk.
00:17:46Yeah, yeah.
00:17:47Because Saturday night, I'll show you who the best in the world is.
00:17:51Who's four letters, one word, one word.
00:17:55Well, it is set.
00:18:01And we are just five days away.
00:18:03Saturday night's main event, as CM Punk asked the question,
00:18:11how far are you willing to go?
00:18:14And, Wade, I don't think there is any doubt that Jey Uso answered it with great clarity,
00:18:22with the intensity of just turning to him and simply saying,
00:18:28let's go, Punk.
00:18:30Let's go.
00:18:31No limits whatsoever on the rage inside Jey Uso and his desire to reclaim goal.
00:18:39But the same, of course, could be said for CM Punk.
00:18:44Two men primed and ready for battle this Saturday at Saturday night's main event.
00:18:49Glad you're with us here from Anaheim.
00:18:52Sold out 13,812.
00:18:54You just get the sense, when you grasp goal the way these two have,
00:18:58you're more desperate to regain it.
00:19:00Now, as for our newest champions, we had a thriller of a tag team classic last week.
00:19:05Well, let's take you back to last week.
00:19:08What a matchup it was.
00:19:10This was Raw Tag Gold on the line.
00:19:12His Judgment Day defended against Dragon League.
00:19:14And AJ Styles, a massively entertaining back-and-forth affair.
00:19:19But it was the veteran AJ Styles who connected first with a phenomenal forearm.
00:19:26And then followed that up with a Styles clash as we crowned ourselves new World Tag Team Champions
00:19:34off the road from here in Sacramento, California.
00:19:39Congrats to our new tag champs.
00:19:43I know.
00:19:45You should think she is.
00:19:46You're not a geek champ.
00:19:47Guys, guys, we got a problem.
00:19:50We know.
00:19:51We were just talking about Nikki Bella.
00:19:53No, no, no, no.
00:19:54I'm not talking about that.
00:19:56I'm talking about a real problem.
00:19:58Adam Pearce has some sort of vendetta against me.
00:20:00And now, Rusev and Penta have a number one contender's match.
00:20:06Well, maybe if you weren't such an habitual cheater, I'd have a different outcome.
00:20:11Um, that's heinous because I've never cheated a day in my life.
00:20:17Anyways, now I have to face the winner at Saturday night's main event.
00:20:20So, what are we going to do, guys?
00:20:22What are we going to do?
00:20:24Are you serious?
00:20:25I can't...
00:20:26Calm down.
00:20:26Dom, me and Finn have our plightful tonight, getting like the tag team titles.
00:20:31Yeah, you know the ones that you cost us?
00:20:34So tonight, mate, you're on your own.
00:20:37Let's go.
00:20:47Yeah, I need your help.
00:20:49Are you right?
00:20:50I don't.
00:20:51I think I need some help.
00:20:52Maybe I should go talk to them.
00:20:52Now, let them handle theirs, and we will focus on ours.
00:21:00And what they need to focus on is this Hall of Famer.
00:21:05Nikki Bella has arrived.
00:21:07She went to Helping Hand a week ago to fight off Judgment Day.
00:21:10Now Nikki Bella has to bring everything she has against the prodigy.
00:21:14Bella will be opposite Roxanne Perez.
00:21:16She went to Helping Hand a week ago to fight off Judgment Day.
00:21:46The following is an Intercontinental Championship number one contenders match.
00:21:54Introducing first, from a chocolate pick, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos, PENTA!
00:22:05I mean, how good is that?
00:22:09You want to define a fan favorite?
00:22:12PENTA!
00:22:12Against the fiercely determined Rusev.
00:22:15Intercontinental Championship number one contenders match next.
00:22:18Now, no matter where in the world we go, they just love this Luchador.
00:22:47And I'll say this, Joe Tess, of course, Mexico is the home of Lucha Libre.
00:22:54But if Lucha Libre had a vacation home, I think it would be right here in California.
00:23:01Do you think they would have, like, a nice two-bedroom condo near the ocean just to get away from things?
00:23:06It would be right here.
00:23:08I think PENTA would get a giant mansion rolling red carpet out for that guy.
00:23:16This is great a ring entrance as there is.
00:23:18I mean, sometimes it just takes weeks, months, or even years for a superstar to connect with an audience.
00:23:30This was a day-one guy.
00:23:32The second he debuted on Raw, instantly he became a massive crowd favorite.
00:23:39And there is no sign of that slowing down.
00:23:41Just imagine what's going to happen if PENTA acquires some gold in the form of an Intercontinental Championship.
00:23:49Gets the opportunity to put himself in pole position up next against Rusev.
00:23:55We thought that was going to happen two weeks ago.
00:23:58He had his chance.
00:23:59He got outmaneuvered by a cunning and dastardly Intercontinental Champion.
00:24:05To adjectives that you use, some of the euphemisms and descriptives,
00:24:10instead of just giving the reality of the situation.
00:24:13As we just heard from Judgment Day themselves.
00:24:16Habitual cheater.
00:24:17Habitual cheater.
00:24:18His own brethren saying that.
00:24:19That's just such a low-class way of saying it.
00:24:22Dom is a highly intelligent habitual cheater.
00:24:26Just adds a little layer of gloss.
00:24:35His opponent, from Bulgaria, weighing for 270 pounds, Rusev!
00:25:00We're not far away.
00:25:30From the famous pier.
00:25:31We're down here in Anaheim for what is a rocket Monday Night Raw here on Netflix.
00:25:40WWE superfan and famed actor O'Shea Jackson is here among the sellout at the Honda Center.
00:25:49I'm thrilled to have him always.
00:25:54And wait, that is not Preston North End.
00:25:56That's an L.A. Galaxy in attendance.
00:25:59The MLS team.
00:26:00What do L.A. Galaxy and Preston North End have in common?
00:26:03I can't wait to hear this.
00:26:04David Beckham played for them both.
00:26:06And they are both amazing teams.
00:26:08Welcome aboard L.A. Galaxy.
00:26:09Can't imagine how badly Rusev wants to get through Penta here and get his hands on Dirty Dom after yet another IC title match loss because of a Dirty Dom low blow.
00:26:20Yeah, this is last week on Raw.
00:26:23So Dirty Dom tried to take a walk during his title defense against Rusev.
00:26:26Penta showed up.
00:26:27But a stop to that before Rusev then took the upper hand in the matchup.
00:26:33Dirty Dom tried every dirty trick in the book.
00:26:36But finally with the ref's back turn, one of those tricks worked a low blow before successfully connecting with that 6-1-9.
00:26:45The tap pole splash for the win.
00:26:49Now post-match, Penta made it quite clear that he still has designs on Dirty Dom's Intercontinental Championship taken out.
00:26:59Rusev in the process.
00:27:01And now we have a showdown to decide who is going to be the next number one contender for Dirty Dom.
00:27:07All right, you think Rusev's ready?
00:27:08Look at him.
00:27:10Fired up.
00:27:10And that is a man I would not want to be in the ring with at the best of times.
00:27:14Good luck tonight, Penta.
00:27:16Oh, right at it.
00:27:16Trying to have a hot start here as Penta gets right to the chest of Rusev, who's just absorbing it.
00:27:22And then looking to deliver some of his own.
00:27:24Tossing Penta into the corner before a kick is delivered.
00:27:27Well, power versus movement here.
00:27:29That is the back one right now.
00:27:31Movement is winning, but it's just bouncing off Rusev, who's a wall of a human being.
00:27:36Is he ever?
00:27:37Of course, these two met up back on September 8th.
00:27:41We saw Rusev actually defeat Penta.
00:27:44That was a spectacular evening when he hit that mid-air moshka kick.
00:27:48And the big right hand is delivered.
00:27:50Delivered to perfection.
00:27:52Now both of these two men have interfered in one another's title opportunities at times.
00:27:56And they've come to blows on more than one occasion in recent weeks.
00:28:01So it's a good chance to put a rival in the rearview mirror so you can focus fully on Dirty Dom and the Intercontinental Championship.
00:28:08That is what Penta does best in spectacular fashion.
00:28:14You can see him reaching for his lower back himself.
00:28:17What height, what distance he was able to get.
00:28:19Well, he's talked about it.
00:28:20The kind of high risk, high danger, but high impact offense completely wiping Rusev.
00:28:27Oh, but may have taken a choke out of the luchador in the process.
00:28:30Penta looking at a springboard.
00:28:36And the DDT and lateral press for Penta.
00:28:41Rusev spiked right on the top of his head there.
00:28:43Thought he was out cold for a second.
00:28:45Trying to shake those cobwebs off.
00:28:47It takes a hell of a lot to get Rusev down in the first place.
00:28:51And keeping him down is a whole other battle.
00:28:54Trying to crawl his way to regain himself.
00:28:58You see him struggling.
00:28:59Oh, here we go, Joe.
00:28:59Oh, could it be?
00:29:02And you can see the awareness by Rusev.
00:29:07The veteran looking for his third attempt to try to put himself in position for the IC title.
00:29:14Gloving right hand to the jaw there.
00:29:15Completely wiping out Penta.
00:29:18One shot.
00:29:18As he did a week ago.
00:29:22And that is the danger of a powerhouse brute like Rusev.
00:29:26It's just one punch for all the high-flying ability of Penta.
00:29:32Just straight old-fashioned smash-mouth style of Rusev has swung the pendulum back in his favor.
00:29:38When you mention the style of Rusev.
00:29:40This is such an interesting mix of styles to see these two going at it.
00:29:46It's always interesting watching Rusev operate behind the scenes.
00:29:49The entire locker room seems petrified of this man.
00:29:51Including, of course, Dirty Damu.
00:29:56Apparently wants nothing to do with Rusev.
00:29:58Was hoping he'd be in the rearview mirror.
00:30:00But a win here would put Rusev back.
00:30:03Or I should say would put Dirty Dam back in the crosshairs of Rusev immediately.
00:30:07Well, it was just a week ago that he was up against Dirty Damu.
00:30:10Oh, man, oh, man.
00:30:12Penta quick to turn things around.
00:30:15Hooking the leg, looking for the win.
00:30:17But the kick out at two.
00:30:18Once again, it's that superior movement of Penta.
00:30:20Even when he's up against it, he's getting beaten from pillar to post.
00:30:24One backcracker out of nowhere.
00:30:26Again, shifts the momentum in this one.
00:30:28And now you can sense that Penta believes he has that momentum.
00:30:33Oh, the baseball slide as he gets out of the way.
00:30:36And then, oh, just flop-jacks him right into the steel steps.
00:30:41The impact on the steel steps.
00:30:53We just went Penta.
00:30:55Oh, just felt that he was in control.
00:30:59And Rusev sends him right over our announce desk.
00:31:05All right, so they're well out of the way.
00:31:06The Bulgarian brookies.
00:31:13Almost lost my legs on that one.
00:31:14Yeah, now he posts him as hard as could be.
00:31:18Try to recover things here.
00:31:19What a mess, Jotas.
00:31:22Courtesy of Rusev.
00:31:25Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:29Monitors smashed.
00:31:31As is the skull of Penta.
00:31:38Ever since he got out of the way of that baseball slide,
00:31:40from that point forward,
00:31:42it has been a destructive stretch
00:31:44put forth by Rusev.
00:31:46Big kick right to the sternum from Rusev.
00:32:04Try and get a level of normalcy back at the desk here.
00:32:07Good luck with that.
00:32:09I'm struggling myself, Joe.
00:32:10You can see Penta's trying to get a little normalcy back.
00:32:14And he's thinking and bailing in the process.
00:32:18Gloating pin there from Rusev.
00:32:20Well, there was a late kick out from Penta.
00:32:23You do feel that Rusev is inching incredibly close to victory here.
00:32:30Winner will get back in with Dirty Dom
00:32:32to fight for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:32:35Yeah, both men highly irate in recent weeks
00:32:38that they feel they've been screwed out of their title opportunities
00:32:42on more than one occasion by Dirty Dom.
00:32:46Tulo blows and a timekeeper's hammer
00:32:48will have you think that way, Wade.
00:32:50Well, just when you think you've got Dirty Dom figured out,
00:32:52he comes up with a new trick.
00:32:55Constantly working, constantly operating
00:32:57to get himself the upper hand in all matches and all scenarios.
00:33:03Even more so now that the Judgment Day
00:33:05are apparently not going to be backing him up.
00:33:07A big drop kick by the big man.
00:33:14It has just turned into the Rusev show
00:33:17over the past few minutes of this one.
00:33:24Rusev show!
00:33:49Rusev show!
00:33:49Number one contenders match
00:33:51to fight for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:33:53as you see, Rusev trying to
00:33:55work on that mask of Penta.
00:33:58Everything changed here
00:33:59when he flapjacked him onto the steel steps.
00:34:02And now, just securing Penta
00:34:05in his grasp.
00:34:07Good old-fashioned pair hug there from Rusev
00:34:10when Penta was trying to pick up the pace,
00:34:12build some momentum.
00:34:14Just cannot do that
00:34:16against someone as powerful as Rusev.
00:34:18Penta's able to get out of the way
00:34:23and deliver the kick.
00:34:25The Penta's ridden out a hell of a storm here.
00:34:28The fact that he's capable of coming back with some...
00:34:30Oh!
00:34:31The corner handstand kick
00:34:32right to the chest
00:34:34and into the cover.
00:34:35Both men surely exhausted
00:34:43and feeling the pain at this point.
00:34:46They're getting driven by that desire for gold.
00:34:49Another opportunity at Dirty Dom awaits.
00:34:53Who can put this one away?
00:34:55Dirty Dom who used underhanded tactics
00:34:57to recently defend his IC title
00:34:59against both of these men.
00:35:04Rusev suddenly getting his clock cleaned
00:35:07after a major period of dominance in this match.
00:35:11He's turned around in a big way
00:35:13and did his second win now.
00:35:15Penta, we're gonna close this one out.
00:35:17Could he be lining it up again?
00:35:21Rusev was smart enough.
00:35:23And now he's climbing up top
00:35:25as Penta has him right now.
00:35:28Oh!
00:35:29He did it again!
00:35:30He did it again!
00:35:31This is how he beat him a month ago!
00:35:33Oh, but this time
00:35:34Penta able to kick out.
00:35:36Oh, God.
00:35:37Matcha kicked away.
00:35:38Flying jaw of Penta.
00:35:40Take a look at this.
00:35:42What a bullseye
00:35:43by Rusev.
00:35:45Precision timing.
00:35:46And somehow, incredibly,
00:35:49Penta lives on
00:35:50but he is living dangerously now.
00:35:52And the ball is squarely in the court
00:35:54of the Bulgarian.
00:35:55How does Penta survive
00:35:57a mid-air matcha kick like that?
00:36:00Rusev wants to put it away
00:36:02and end it right here.
00:36:03Well, this is spine-snapping time for Rusev.
00:36:07The accolade applied
00:36:09but no escaping.
00:36:10Penta escapes the accolade opportunity.
00:36:14Look at all!
00:36:15The driver!
00:36:17Penta driver!
00:36:18Well, both men have now taken
00:36:24one another's best shots
00:36:26and kept on ticking.
00:36:28Wow!
00:36:30A mid-air matcha kick doesn't end it.
00:36:33A Penta driver doesn't end it.
00:36:35You can see how badly they want this.
00:36:39number one contender's match
00:36:41for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:36:44We're sold out.
00:36:45Anaheim audience
00:36:46very unhappy with the referee.
00:36:48I thought he got it spot on.
00:36:492.99 is not enough in this game.
00:36:53Not when a championship opportunity
00:36:55is on the line.
00:36:57They are acting
00:36:59like the tough veteran fighters they are.
00:37:03This audience is filling every blow.
00:37:05Wait a second.
00:37:09What the hell?
00:37:11It's Ryo and Bravo.
00:37:13Ryo, Americano, and Bravo, Americano
00:37:17as El Grande looks on.
00:37:21Well, I guess we know
00:37:23who Dom's phone-a-friend is.
00:37:25His old buddy, El Grande, Americano.
00:37:28And I guess if nobody wins this match
00:37:30you can't have a number one contender
00:37:32which is absolute genius.
00:37:34We heard Dirty Dom say earlier
00:37:37we've got a problem.
00:37:39I guess this is how he solves
00:37:41the problem.
00:37:44Right in the midst
00:37:45of what was
00:37:46a thrilling match.
00:37:49The Americanos arrived.
00:37:51And this has just turned
00:37:55into a mugging
00:37:56two superstars
00:37:57Penta and Rusev
00:37:59who were giving it their all
00:38:00leaving it on the mat
00:38:02in pursuit of a major reward
00:38:04that's just been wiped out
00:38:06by the Americano family.
00:38:09There's El Grande
00:38:10linked by Ryo
00:38:12and Bravo.
00:38:13number one contender's match
00:38:24interrupted by these three.
00:38:28Oh God.
00:38:30Rusev is back up
00:38:32and El Grande
00:38:33and the guys
00:38:35got a real situation now
00:38:38don't they Wade?
00:38:39Oh wow.
00:38:41Rusev wiping out anything
00:38:43that moves.
00:38:46And that's not running now
00:38:47El Grande.
00:38:49Oh and there's Penta
00:38:50back on his feet.
00:38:52Oh and just in the nick
00:38:57of time
00:38:57Bravo able to save
00:39:00El Grande.
00:39:05Well the match
00:39:06has been thrown out.
00:39:08As Rusev and Penta
00:39:10circle each other
00:39:12and that is how
00:39:14the number one contender's
00:39:15match goes to them.
00:39:19I'm back to you
00:39:20with L.A. Knight
00:39:21L.A.
00:39:22Last week
00:39:22you had a huge opportunity
00:39:24to become the number one
00:39:25contender to that
00:39:26world heavyweight championship
00:39:27in a battle royal.
00:39:28Unfortunately
00:39:29you came up short.
00:39:31So where do you go
00:39:32from here?
00:39:33What's next?
00:39:35You know
00:39:35sometimes
00:39:37you almost feel like
00:39:39maybe you lose
00:39:40a little bit of the drive
00:39:42to keep pushing.
00:39:43You know what I mean?
00:39:43And when you're here
00:39:44cutting deep right now
00:39:45talking about
00:39:45I fell short
00:39:46I appreciate that
00:39:48because you're right
00:39:48I did fall short.
00:39:49I didn't come out
00:39:50with what I needed
00:39:50but I tell you
00:39:51what I did come out with
00:39:52let me talk to you.
00:39:54Here I stand
00:39:55and I'm looking at
00:39:56not being the world
00:39:57heavyweight championship.
00:39:58Do you see that thing
00:39:59around my waist right now?

00:40:13mean to throw out
00:40:14his brother?
00:40:15Did he mean to throw out
00:40:16L.A. Knight?
00:40:16I don't care about any of that.
00:40:17None of that matters.
00:40:18The bottom line is
00:40:19he's going on
00:40:20to Saturday night's main event.
00:40:21I'm not.
00:40:22So what do I do?
00:40:24I can get rid of the sunglasses.
00:40:26I can get rid of the vest.
00:40:27I can do what I need to do
00:40:29because
00:40:29sometimes
00:40:30I just get a little bit used
00:40:32to doing
00:40:33the hard thing
00:40:34and the hard thing
00:40:35is to continue
00:40:36in the path.
00:40:36I don't know how to quit.
00:40:37I've never learned
00:40:38how to quit.

00:48:46Let's go.
00:49:16All official as of right now.
00:49:18Hello, Mr. Pearce.
00:49:19Knock, knock.
00:49:19Let me call you back, thank you.
00:49:20Nice to see you, mate.
00:49:21I'm glad you guys are here.
00:49:22Where is Dom?
00:49:23Dom?
00:49:23I don't hear about Dom.
00:49:24Why?
00:49:25I have some news that he needs to hear from me.
00:49:27But since he's not here and you are, what can I do for you?
00:49:30What can you do for us?
00:49:31You can give us our tag team title rematch tonight.
00:49:33Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:49:34What JD means is we would like to know when we should expect our tag team rematch against
00:49:40AJ and Dragon.
00:49:41We were hoping it would be tonight.
00:49:45Tonight?
00:49:45You guys are already busy tonight.
00:49:48No, we're not.
00:49:49Hey, you are.
00:49:49You don't remember the Battle Royale last week?
00:49:50Not especially, no.
00:49:51Of course you don't remember.
00:49:52You got eliminated.
00:49:53Instead of leaving, you jumped back in there and the two of you eliminated somebody else
00:49:57illegally.
00:49:58That person came to me this morning really pissed off.
00:50:01Demanded a match against either one of you.
00:50:02So you two have a choice.
00:50:03Because tonight, one of you is going to go one-on-one with Sheamus.
00:50:10Good.
00:50:12I'll fight Sheamus.
00:50:13And when I rip his head off, I'm coming back here.
00:50:17Okay.
00:50:19Hey.
00:50:21And when he's done, uh-huh, don't forget.
00:50:23Tag team titles.
00:50:26Oh, I won't forget.
00:50:33Oh, I won't forget.
00:51:03The following comes at this schedule for one fall.
00:51:08And introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella.
00:51:22Nikki's right in the middle of things with Judgment Day.
00:51:25Nikki Bella against Roxanne Perez is next.
00:51:33Well, Wade, it was a week ago that Nikki Bella gave the current women's champion, Stephanie
00:51:44Bacare, some wise advice.
00:51:46She also saved her from more punishment.
00:51:49Yeah, and wise advice is a great way of putting it, Joe Tess.
00:51:54And if I was to give some wise advice to anybody, I'd say, don't stick your nose in other people's business.
00:52:01Oh, boy.
00:52:02Because by saving Stephanie Bacare last week, you've essentially flipped the roles with her this week.
00:52:09And you are the one who has to battle with the Judgment Day.
00:52:13You don't feel she did the right thing?
00:52:15The right thing by who?
00:52:17By Stephanie Bacare?
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:18The right thing by herself?
00:52:20Maybe not.
00:52:21Look, put it this way.
00:52:23If a tag team came out here, I don't know, say Finn Balor and JD McDonough, and came to attack you.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:30Would I get involved to save Joe Tess?
00:52:32100%.
00:52:32Hell no.
00:52:33Oh, boy.
00:52:34I'd say Joe Tess.
00:52:34I have to redefine the way I look at our relationship now.
00:52:38Here's the deal.
00:52:39I don't want Judgment Day coming after me.
00:52:41It's that simple.
00:52:42So I have to be smart.
00:52:43Self-preservation is an admirable trait, in my opinion.
00:52:47And I would choose to preserve myself over someone like Joe Tess.
00:52:52And I feel that Nikki Bella would do well to heed that kind of advice.
00:52:57Incredibly noble, but also...
00:52:59Rather reckless, in my estimation.
00:53:01I feel like you can save my nation.
00:53:29And your opponent, accompanied by Raquel Rodriguez, from Laredo, Texas, representing the Judgment Day, Roxanne Rodriguez.
00:53:47Long-tabbed as a rising star, and now one of the most active stars, and just that level of confidence that she carries with herself, and that fearlessness and determination of Roxanne Perez.
00:54:08And that carries herself like a Hall of Fame veteran.
00:54:14That much confidence, and that much ability.
00:54:17Well, of course, it is the woman opposite her tonight who is the veteran with the Hall of Fame credentials, Nikki Bella.
00:54:24Such great history here at the Honda Center.
00:54:40WrestleMania 12 was here, Shawn Michaels, able to win the WWE Championship.
00:54:46Triple H retained here at WrestleMania 2000, and now tonight, sold out for Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:54:53And the stars are in attendance.
00:54:56Cristina Alonzo, she has that amazing special, Upper Classy, streaming now on Netflix.
00:55:02Great comedian.
00:55:03Roxanne Perez, Wade, will step to anyone, will never say no to a match, especially one like this.
00:55:18Here's how we got it.
00:55:19Last week on Raw, it was Stephanie McCurr taking on Roxanne Perez.
00:55:23McCurr showing the world exactly why she is the champ.
00:55:27Getting the win with an Angel Wings.
00:55:30Nice victory there for McCurr, but as the post-match celebrations began, they were swiftly ended by a Judgment Day beatdown.
00:55:41And that was until McCurr's locker room friend, the Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, evened the odds.
00:55:47And together, McCurr and Nikki cleared out the miscreants.
00:55:52And earned themselves a temporary reprieve from the danger.
00:55:56At least until tonight.
00:55:58And I can tell you right now, Big Mammy Cool on the outside is rather irate, but it is, in fact, Roxanne Perez who gets the first shot at Nikki Bella here.
00:56:08So here we go.
00:56:09The Hall of Famer, of course, Nikki was inducted into that class of 2020 against Roxanne Perez.
00:56:15What a classic generation.
00:56:17This is the little Roxanne Perez who grew up idolizing Nikki Bella.
00:56:22Called the little smack online.
00:56:25Who's trying to show respect here?
00:56:26I don't know about that.
00:56:28Extending a hand.
00:56:30And then versus what she's been seen on social media.
00:56:32Oh!
00:56:33Nikki Bella was not born yesterday.
00:56:35She certainly was not going to fall for that one.
00:56:37And now Bella trying to quickly get to the attack.
00:56:42But out into the apron before driving that shoulder in.
00:56:46Bella quick to it.
00:56:49Nikki Bella knows a trick or two.
00:56:5120 plus years in this industry.
00:56:54As great as Roxanne Perez is, she is lacking experience at the very top level.
00:56:59And that is something the two-time world champ Nikki Bella has in spades.
00:57:09But I do admire the attitude of Roxanne Perez.
00:57:13Absolutely fearless to steal a line from her former idol, Nikki Bella.
00:57:19When it comes to competing against these top stars in the division.
00:57:23Oh, quick to counter is Perez after Bevel was trying to lock up that left arm.
00:57:29Nikki Bella just carries that aura of major star power.
00:57:36It's a major crossover star in the world of light entertainment too.
00:57:40Now back to doing what she loves best.
00:57:43There's a hard lander on the back of the neck there.
00:57:45And now going to town on that neck is Roxanne Perez.
00:57:49Windmill right hands delivered by Perez.
00:57:53Of course, Perez knows everything about Nikki Bella.
00:57:57Used to study her on Total Divas back in the day.
00:57:59When she was a young girl.
00:58:01Grew up, perhaps one day, wanted a tag with Nikki Bella.
00:58:04Hasn't quite worked out that way now.
00:58:06Major rivals.
00:58:08Of course, Nikki Bella, two-time Divas champion.
00:58:10Had the longest title reign in history.
00:58:12Over 300 days.
00:58:13But you mentioned the generational gap.
00:58:15How that can play with a young superstar when you're in there against a legend that you looked up to.
00:58:20Nikki Bella has just had answers for everything that Roxanne Perez is trying to throw at thus far.
00:58:26The pace being set early on by Nikki Bella.
00:58:29Nikki Bella simply looked razor sharp this evening.
00:58:32And unsurprisingly heading to the outside.
00:58:34And the safe embrace.
00:58:36It's a big mammy call.
00:58:44Right to the barrier as Raquel Rodriguez steps off to the side.
00:58:48And Nikki Bella's in control here against Perez.
00:58:50It's just been the Nikki Bella show from the word go.
00:58:53And Roxanne Perez may have overestimated her abilities this evening.
00:58:58Came in incredibly cocky and confident.
00:59:00And you see that dissipating as the seconds tick by.
00:59:05Slam and ran into that second turnbuckle.
00:59:07And then bringing her up top as well.
00:59:09Major power advantage.
00:59:11Almost everyone has against Roxanne Perez.
00:59:13Came into play there.
00:59:16That speed and nimble ability.
00:59:18Where to set.
00:59:19Oh, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:59:21As Roxanne was grabbing the attention of our referee.
00:59:26It's Raquel Rodriguez getting the best of Nikki Bella.
00:59:30Straight from the Judgment Day playbook.
00:59:34Wait until the prime moment to capitalize.
00:59:36Oh, slingshotting her right into that second rope.
00:59:40And how quickly things turn when you deal with Judgment Day.
00:59:53Wait, you are appreciating the early work of Nikki Bella.
00:59:56And then in one instance where the referee has to turn her attention.
01:00:02Raquel Rodriguez involves herself.
01:00:04Well, it harkens back to what I was saying earlier, Joe.
01:00:07When it comes to putting yourself in the jaws of danger unnecessarily.
01:00:12You've essentially switched places with Stephanie McCurr this week.
01:00:16By saving her last week.
01:00:18Sticking your nose in someone else's business.
01:00:21Now, guess what?
01:00:22It's two on one against you.
01:00:25And of course, inevitably, at some point, Raquel was going to involve herself in this match.
01:00:30And that's exactly what happened.
01:00:36And wasn't Raquel castigating Dirty Dom a little earlier?
01:00:39Yes, she was.
01:00:40He is routinely cheating.
01:00:42Because he does.
01:00:45And running uppercut.
01:00:48I think it's part of the rules.
01:00:49If you're going to be allowed in the clubhouse for the Judgment Day,
01:00:52you have to have cheated at some point in the last week.
01:00:55Here's Perez into the cover.
01:00:56And Nikki Bella able to survive him.
01:01:00Nikki Bella living dangerously now.
01:01:02Once Roxanne Perez gets the upper hand,
01:01:05history has told us she rarely gives it up.
01:01:07And once again, attacking the surgically repaired neck of Nikki Bella.
01:01:14And of course, Roxanne Perez, being a former fangirl of Nikki Bella,
01:01:18knows all about that surgery.
01:01:20Well, we could tell you the exact date it happened,
01:01:23how long she was out for,
01:01:24and the fact that once upon a time,
01:01:26Nikki Bella retired due to that injury.
01:01:29And yet, all the torque and pressure she's putting on her neck and head.
01:01:35And it just shows you how Roxanne Perez has gone from that saccharine sweet little girl
01:01:40that you'll see on videos on social media,
01:01:43coming to meet her idol Nikki Bella 10 plus years ago,
01:01:47to the kind of cutthroat competitor she is today
01:01:50that is surely destined for greatness in this industry.
01:01:53Driving down that elbow right to the back of the neck as well.
01:02:00And look at the smug look on Raquel Rodriguez
01:02:03as she continues to watch Roxanne Perez get to work on Nikki Bella.
01:02:08Raquel knows full well that
01:02:10full well that the reason Roxanne has the upper hand in this match
01:02:18is due to a major assist
01:02:19from her big tag partner on the outside, Raquel.
01:02:23And this has just become a procession for Roxanne Perez
01:02:32who is finding it too easy
01:02:34ever since the beatdown of that neck of Nikki Bella began.
01:02:38Last week we saw the stunning return of Nikki Bella
01:02:54to help save Stephanie Baker
01:02:59after Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez were attacking post-match.
01:03:03Now it's Nikki Bella in against Roxanne Perez
01:03:06as Perez has been getting the best of her
01:03:08and that running uppercut to the back and neck area.
01:03:14And now Perez, the double rope springboard moonsault.
01:03:19And the kick out at two as Raquel Rodriguez looks on Wade.
01:03:22Perez has done an incredible job of attacking that neck of Nikki Bella.
01:03:26So it's a neck that's been surgically repaired in the past
01:03:28and of course Perez, her fandom of Nikki Bella from the past
01:03:32knew exactly where the weakness is
01:03:34and is now relentlessly attacking that neck.
01:03:38And in various ways as now you can see all the leverage she's able to get
01:03:44twisting and torquing and utilizing her own left hand
01:03:49as Bella's trying to fight out of it.
01:03:53She delivers those left elbows to Perez.
01:03:56Nikki Bella's got two fused vertebrae in that neck.
01:04:00But it's a wonder that Nikki Bella can even feel her fingertips at this point
01:04:04because these shots are just brutal.
01:04:07They are pinpoint targeted.
01:04:09And as you said, Joe, they are varied in nature
01:04:12which shows you the growing playbook of Roxanne Perez.
01:04:19Crowd reacting to what they perceive as unnecessary arrogance.
01:04:25And now Bella just says, you know what?
01:04:28Let's fight.
01:04:29While slugging away through the pain now is Nikki Bella.
01:04:33Something the young pop Roxanne Perez needs to learn.
01:04:38You don't celebrate until you've got this one closed out
01:04:40and there is fight left in the Hall of Famer.
01:04:43Nikki Bella delivering right hand after right hand.
01:04:49Well, Bella now tapping into that other gear.
01:04:52If she ever weighed.
01:04:54The kind of gear that took Nikki Bella to the Hall of Fame,
01:04:58to several world championships.
01:05:00And may well get her through this predicament
01:05:04when it was looking like all was lost.
01:05:06Roxanne Perez writhing in pain as Raquel Rodriguez
01:05:09looks to rally with support here
01:05:13as both of our competitors try to get to their feet
01:05:16deep into this match.
01:05:18And you know, Bella's hurting in a big way.
01:05:27But completely impervious to that pain seemingly.
01:05:31Got that adrenaline pumping through her veins
01:05:34pulled on by this capacity audience here in Anaheim.
01:05:38Excellent attack by Nikki Bella
01:05:40and delivering off the ropes.
01:05:43And a count of two.
01:05:48Nikki Bella is just looking back to her best now.
01:05:51Shaking off any ring rust that may have been there
01:05:53when she first returned.
01:05:55And boy, oh boy, does she need to be at her best this evening.
01:05:59Oh, could she?
01:06:00But instead, Roxanne Perez repositioning herself.
01:06:05Trying for that rack attack 2.0.
01:06:08But a nice transition, as you mentioned there,
01:06:10from Roxanne Perez looking to choke out the Hall of Famer.
01:06:14She got her into that fireman's carry.
01:06:16Just couldn't deliver the cutter at the end.
01:06:18Instead, it's Nikki Bella now.
01:06:21Again, that second rope driving down across her throat.
01:06:25Bella's body just not caught up.
01:06:27One second, wow, big spine buster.
01:06:29Spine buster into the hook of the leg.
01:06:31And getting that left shoulder up is Perez.
01:06:34Once again, Raquel smells danger
01:06:37and wants to insert herself to the match.
01:06:41Bella fall off the jaw, wait up.
01:06:43And with that distraction, could it be a quick one?
01:06:46Oh, her foot was on the ropes.
01:06:49Foot was on the ropes there.
01:06:50Jessica Carr simply too quick for Perez.
01:06:53That went up.
01:06:54How about Nikki Bella turning things around?
01:06:56On the count of two and a half.
01:06:59This one balanced on a knife edge.
01:07:01And it's Nikki Bella who now has the wind in her sails.
01:07:06And she wants it again.
01:07:09Rack attack 2.0 lined up.
01:07:12Perez fights herself free again with a series of elbows.
01:07:16Perez knows the danger of that move.
01:07:18Oh, moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
01:07:20And face first.
01:07:22Into the buckle, of course, with that damaged neck.
01:07:24Oh, such awareness by Perez.
01:07:28Pop rocks from the corner.
01:07:32Here is your winner, Roxanne Perez.
01:07:37Well, what an effort from Nikki Bella.
01:07:42But it was basically the insertion of Raquel on the outside.
01:07:46Two times in this match.
01:07:48And, oh, here we go.
01:07:50It's like an action replay of the beatdown on Vicar from last week.
01:07:54But Nikki Bella is, oh, now in the hot seat.
01:07:57Remember a week ago, it was Nikki Bella coming to help Stephanie Vicar.
01:08:05And now, the champ is here to return the favor.
01:08:14Raquel runs from nobody.
01:08:18Not even the world champ.
01:08:23Face to face.
01:08:25Now, Raquel Rodriguez is one intimidating woman.
01:08:45Stephanie Vicar did not want to take a backward step.
01:08:49Help having Nikki Bella by her side.
01:08:52But we've got to keep a close eye on that situation in the coming weeks.
01:08:57Great to see Nikki Bella and Stephanie Vicar and what they have developed with their friendship.
01:09:03And, Wade, remember, still to come tonight, the Women's Tag Team Championship match.
01:09:10It is all brought about because of this on social media from Bayley.
01:09:18Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
01:09:21Woo!
01:09:22The Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:09:24I mean, you guys have a little bit of a rocking friendship.
01:09:26I won't bring that up or anything.
01:09:28Because you are the Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:09:30And respect to you.
01:09:31Respect to you.
01:09:31But I think that you guys need a real challenge.
01:09:35I think that you guys need to put yourself to the limit and test your friendship.
01:09:40I mean, tag team.
01:09:42Against two of the best.
01:09:44Against me and my best tag team partner, Lyra Valkyrie.
01:09:50What do you say, huh?
01:09:51Monday Night Raw?
01:09:52Right.
01:09:53Sounds great.
01:09:54I'll see you idiots there.
01:09:57Lyra!
01:09:59All correct.
01:10:01We should be in the title match tonight.
01:10:04You cut out in line.
01:10:05How are you doing?
01:10:07How are you doing?
01:10:08Oscar, Kyrie, I didn't have anything to do.
01:10:10You're not going to get out of here.
01:10:12You're not going to get out of here!
01:10:13Don't make an ALGORITAN!
01:10:22Kyrie, I-
01:10:25Dude, what was that about?
01:10:30Hey, what do you think it was about?
01:10:32It was about this mess that you've gotten us into now.
01:10:34A mess?
01:10:35Never forget about them!
01:10:37And surprise!
01:10:38I got you a matching tag team jacket in Tokyo.
01:10:40Anyways, tonight are you excited?
01:10:42Yeah, I'm excited. Is this my surprise?
01:10:45Well, no, the tag team title match was your surprise.
01:10:47Dude, I have not been in the ring with Charlotte Flair or Alexa Bliss.
01:10:51This is a huge deal.
01:10:52I know, I know.
01:10:53But look, the tag team titles mean a lot to me.
01:10:56And I know you would like to rewrite some history.
01:10:58It's a big night, and I believe in us.
01:11:00We're in the main event, and I really think that we could do this.
01:11:03But now that you say that you haven't been in the ring with Charlotte or Alexa,
01:11:07what if we lose?
01:11:12You know what, baby?
01:11:17What if we win?
01:11:19Oh, oh!
01:11:20Now you're talking!
01:11:21That's a freaking liar!
01:11:23Bam!
01:11:24We got it!
01:11:25Bam!
01:11:26Bam!
01:11:27Bam!
01:11:28Bam!
01:11:29Dude!
01:11:30Bam!
01:11:31Bam!
01:11:32Bam!
01:11:33Bam!
01:11:34Bam!
01:11:35Bam!
01:11:36Bam!
01:11:37Oh, yeah.
01:11:38Oh, it's just you, huh?
01:11:39It's just you.
01:11:40You don't give a damn about what I think about those?
01:11:41Man, come on, bro.
01:11:42Yo, remind you.
01:11:43I saved your ass twice last week in that battle royal.
01:11:44Two times.
01:11:45As soon as I turned my back helping your ass, you threw me out.
01:11:49And I was trying to throw LA Knight over the top.
01:11:52Bro, I don't, I see the tape, bro.
01:11:54Don't get me all that, man.
01:11:55You see the opportunity, and guess what?
01:11:57You saved your own ass.
01:11:58You knew the play.
01:11:59We called it.
01:12:00And that bad world, it's supposed to come down between me and you.
01:12:04Then, then it's every man for themselves.
01:12:07What you thought about yourself?
01:12:09Just like you always do.
01:12:11You know what I think?
01:12:12I think that you thought, if it really did come between me and you,
01:12:17if you really believed in yourself,
01:12:21you won't be so scared to find out.
01:12:32Now Jimmy shooting straight with Jay.
01:12:47The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:13:10And you're introducing first, accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer,
01:13:16The Oracle, Paul Heyman, and Big Brunson Reed.
01:13:23Representing the vision, Braun Breaker.
01:13:28It's only 14 days ago when everything changed.
01:13:34When Braun Breaker heard Seth Rollins say,
01:13:36I never needed anybody.
01:13:38Now comes the next step in the vision's vision.
01:13:42Breaker against the isness of the business.
01:13:45L.A. Knight.
01:13:48Yeah!
01:13:48Yeah!
01:13:48Yeah!
01:13:48Yeah!
01:13:49Yeah!
01:13:49Yeah!
01:13:49Yeah!
01:13:51Yeah!
01:13:53Yeah!
01:13:55Yeah!
01:13:56Yeah!
01:13:57Yeah!
01:13:58Ladies, gentlemen, things that live in California,
01:14:26my name is Paul Heyman.
01:14:34Let's understand the power that stands before you tonight.
01:14:41First of all, the OTT, the original tribal, the Brunson Reed!
01:14:51And tonight, a main event, no matter where he is on the card, the future of WWE, the future of WrestleMania, the baddest dog on the planet.
01:15:09Ladies and gentlemen, Brunson Reed!
01:15:11Ladies and gentlemen, Brun Breaker!
01:15:30Always an intimidating presence has made it quite clear on Raw in the world.
01:15:32Let's see.
01:15:33Let's see.
01:15:34Let's see.
01:15:35Let's see.
01:15:36Let's see.
01:15:37Let's see.
01:15:38Let's see.
01:15:40Let's see.
01:15:41Let's see.
01:15:43Set Rollins roll.
01:15:52Always an intimidating presence has made it quite clear on Raw in the past couple of weeks since usurping Seth Rollins and his vision.
01:16:04Rollins and his vision.
01:16:06Braun Breaker wants power.
01:16:09You want power?
01:16:10You need gold to get to gold.
01:16:12You got to keep winning.
01:16:14But a major, major main event tier matchup coming up next
01:16:19against the megastar LA Knight.

01:17:05Braun Breaker spelled with two Ks.
01:17:09He thinks one is for crazy with a K.
01:17:11And based on recent events,
01:17:13you have to look a little crazy to step into the ring with him.
01:17:16Even if you've been to Pan Amin from team Los Angeles,
01:17:21you have to look to the ring with your list.
01:17:22a K.
01:17:40He has stated his goal as clear as could be, the World Heavyweight Championship, after
01:18:04Jay and Hunt will settle things this coming weekend. The self-proclaimed is-ness of the
01:18:11business now, Wade. But what he is right now is in a spot that should come with a warning
01:18:16label because Ron Raker with Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed by his side, there is danger in
01:18:22the air. Well, danger tends to be an attractor for L.A. Knight, who takes a backward step to
01:18:30nobody on the roster. And of course, we're going to have ourselves a new World Heavyweight
01:18:35Champion crowned this Saturday at Saturday Night's main event, either Jey Uso or CM Pong.
01:18:42Now, this is not a number one contenders match, at least officially speaking. However, you
01:18:50have to think management are going to look at the winner of a match of this caliber and
01:18:55think, yeah, maybe that guy is the next man up. And I will promise you this, Joe Test,
01:18:59whoever loses this match will absolutely not be next in line for a championship shot.
01:19:07It's a great scene as they just size each other up.
01:19:15Two absolute mass monsters here on Raw, both of whom can move at the speed of light, although
01:19:22I will give the movement speed edge to Braun Breaker, perhaps the fastest man I have ever
01:19:28seen, at least in the heavyweight category in my entire life.
01:19:34Of course, that is edged by the experience factor when it comes to the megastar L.A.
01:19:38Knight, who has been in these high-level clashes several times in his career.
01:19:43And has such a wide range of offense. The assault can come in any direction with anything as he
01:19:53delivers the elbow there. Simply moved too quick for Braun Breaker on that one, who is a
01:19:58little slow out of the blocks right now.
01:20:01But there is the power game of Breaker, and Knight comes right back at him with the clothesline.
01:20:13Simply a step ahead of Braun Breaker, mentally speaking, if not physically speaking, in the
01:20:18early goings here.
01:20:23Of course, L.A. Knight has been a perennial main event player.
01:20:27That was just a blur. That was an absolute blur. That came with a vicious ending.
01:20:34Did the producer hit fast forward at some point there? It was like the tape skipped ahead,
01:20:39but I actually saw it with my own eyes.
01:20:41But how does he do that at over 250 pounds weight?
01:20:45I've never seen anyone in the history of this industry, in a flash, turn on the afterburners
01:20:51like Braun Breaker can. And of course, it caught L.A. Knight completely unaware.
01:20:55There's nothing you can do to prepare for that.
01:21:01And the worst part is, you know it's coming.
01:21:03Oh, crossed body by Knight. Could he do it?
01:21:09Knight just still trying to shake off that sudden speed of Braun Breaker, managing to kick
01:21:14himself out of trouble, but has not quite looked the same ever since.
01:21:18Absolute freak, Braun Breaker really is. Honestly.
01:21:22And he keeps getting better. That's the scariest part.
01:21:28Ragdolling. Oh, how about this?
01:21:29How about this?
01:21:32The only night was able to get out the back door and right back to the offensive attack
01:21:35is Braun Breaker.
01:21:37And you look at a 20-year veteran like L.A. Knight, and you think this guy has seen it
01:21:41all in his career, he's had these hungry, powerful, up-and-coming contenders, and then
01:21:47you get in the ring with a Braun Breaker.
01:21:48And if you're L.A. Knight, you suddenly realize, this is all new to me.
01:21:52I'm the rookie in here. I've never faced anything like this.
01:21:56First night has been on the long run of top competition.
01:21:59Triple threat that CM Punk recently won, then.
01:22:05The battle royal to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship
01:22:10that Jey Uso won.
01:22:12He was eliminated by Jey Uso a week ago.
01:22:17It's interesting to hear the exchange between Jimmy and Jey Uso.
01:22:24A whole feeling of resentment there at the moment.
01:22:27And certainly on Jimmy's side, who does not see the point of view of Jey Uso.
01:22:33A dropkick right through the ropes by L.A. Knight.
01:22:44L.A. Knight has to deal, of course, with Big Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman off to the side
01:22:49as he is in control right now against Braun Breaker.
01:22:54Well, to be clear, Bronson Reed has done nothing wrong,
01:22:57but his mere presence alone is a threat.
01:23:00And there are now three pairs of eyes burning a hole into the megastar L.A. Knight
01:23:05when you include Paul Heyman.
01:23:07And that little pause for contemplation there by L.A. Knight opened a huge window.
01:23:12Oh, my!
01:23:14Gorilla Press on top of the table!
01:23:17Braun Breaker does not need a second invitation to launch a vicious attack on anyone.
01:23:23And now Breaker on top of our announced desk as L.A. Knight is in such a tough position here.
01:23:35Championship goal right in front of these two men.
01:23:38That's what they're aiming to climb to.
01:23:40That's what they both aspire to win in this game.
01:23:44Of course, Jey Uso or CM Punk will be winning that championship this Saturday at Saturday night's main event.
01:23:51What comes next for them after that may well be the winner of this match.
01:24:02I swear before you came on board, Joe Tagg, this desk never got trashed as much as it does these days.
01:24:09Can you believe that?
01:24:09Every time.
01:24:10You are a magnet.
01:24:12It's just a giant target.
01:24:14Every single match.
01:24:16He's drinking water bottles all over where I have to sit down right now.
01:24:19But right now it's L.A. Knight, who he's breaking into the corner.
01:24:23I mean, the velocity that he just smashed him against the turnbuckles.
