00:00But first, New Catcher Republic squares off against A-Town Down Under in tag team action.
00:05Can Tyler Bates beat Dunn, silence the smack-talking duo?
00:08Or will Austin Theory and Grayson Waller back up their trash talk with a win here in Tampa?
00:13Stick around, we're going to find out next!
00:30The following contest is a 10-team match picker for one fall.
00:46Introducing plus, at a combined weight of 424 pounds,
00:52Austin Theory and Grayson Waller!
00:57A-Town Down Under!
01:01Off the heels of a massive World Tag Team title match this past Monday on Raw.
01:05Vic, we're talking tension, we're talking cohesion.
01:08With Theory and Waller, they've had some ups and downs as of late,
01:10as they continue to try and establish themselves in the Raw Tag Team division.
01:14That's one way to put it, but I'll put it out this way.
01:17These two are not on the same page.
01:22And Money in the Bank is presented by Cash App.
01:33Your financial tag team partner, Cash App, is always in your corner.
01:38And I think they're not on the same page because of jealousy from one man.
01:44No, Cash, we're probably!
01:47No, Cash, we're probably!
01:52Here's your opponent, at a combined weight of 380 pounds!
02:03Time with weight, and the foods are weight!
02:07Peace, done!
02:09New, Cash, Republic!
02:14Well Vic, this is two superstars of a long history as opponents and tag team partners,
02:19as they come together once again and motivated as ever to become World Tag Team champions.
02:24These are two men that certainly do know each other, have been through a lot of the wars, so to speak,
02:30and battled through the trenches across Europe, through here in the United States.
02:35NXT UK, NXT, and the one thing that's different about them opposed to their opponents, there is no jealousy.
02:47We've certainly seen a friendly rivalry over the years, but now they've come together.
02:53Almost had a huge WrestleMania moment last year, which is of course usurped by A-Town Down Under.
02:58And don't get me wrong, yeah, there was a rivalry.
03:00They were at each other's necks, so to speak, over plenty of championships throughout Europe.
03:05But at the end of the day, they always seem to come back to one another in a...
03:10I think a quick tag was just made.
03:12Looks like Austin Theory was going to start the matchup.
03:15And this is what I'm talking about.
03:17And Grayson Waller...
03:17Jealousy.
03:18Grayson Waller needs a spotlight.
03:20Certainly appears to have one.
03:22As right now, Tyler Bate looking to stay right in control out of the gates.
03:25Yes, as Grayson Waller putting A-Town Down Under behind the eight ball right off the bell.
03:32I certainly hear those chants, Vic.
03:34You know who else is hearing them?
03:36Oh, Grayson Waller.
03:37But to answer your question when you go about the tag team titles,
03:40we had a huge championship matchup this past week on Monday Night Raw.
03:43Yes, I do think that New Cats Republic can get back to the top of the summit.
03:48They've proven it time and time again.
03:49And maybe, just maybe, bam!
03:52Well, that climb starts here tonight.
03:54Grayson Waller shutting down the offensive attack.
03:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:58Did you notice that?
03:59Grayson Waller could have went for the tag to Austin Theory,
04:01but he didn't make the tag.
04:03Looked like a clear opening for Austin Theory to get involved in this matchup.
04:07And Vic, to your point, Grayson Waller clearly yearning that spotlight.
04:12I want to take this step further.
04:13Tag into Tyler Bate.
04:14I think Grayson Waller wants the singles spotlight.
04:17He wants the single glory.
04:20Money in the Bank's coming up, right?
04:22Out of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory,
04:24who's won the Money in the Bank briefcase?
04:26Certainly we know the answer to that a few years back,
04:28as look at the cohesion right here.
04:30Who's won the United States champion?
04:32On two occasions.
04:33Was the youngest one, correct?
04:34Indeed, as right now, Tyler Bate in firm control.
04:36And of course, the last time we saw it,
04:38New Cats Republic on main event.
04:40They picked up a win over American Main,
04:41but finally, it's Austin Theory time.
04:43And there was the tag,
04:45and Theory might not pick this spot at the right moment.
04:49Grayson Waller can't stop getting involved here.
04:51Oh, that's one way to wipe him out.
04:54Oh, talk about a wipeout.
04:56And a big shot there by Austin Theory.
04:59Can New Cats Republic get back in this one here on main event?
05:04Back here on main event, Vic, of course,
05:06Tampa a few hours south of Atlanta,
05:07but it seems like it's certainly Austin Theory country.
05:09You know, and we've been talking about Waller in theory.
05:12I think just Grayson Waller is always upset.
05:14I think back to how Rudy was at the Slammys.
05:17In theory, from time to time, he just made a tag.
05:19You know, remember when he was in NXT, he was in the way, right?
05:22He was in NXT.
05:23He's won the tag team titles with Grayson Waller,
05:25but he's always worn his heart on his sleeve.
05:27Double team working right there.
05:28There's a cover.
05:29You always know what you get out of Austin Theory.
05:32When it comes to Grayson Waller,
05:33who, yes, is in control right now
05:35and is going right at that scar on the left shoulder,
05:37Waller is deceitful.
05:41You take a look at Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
05:44They've lost their last seven combined singles matchups, Vic.
05:47But the last time they were in tag team competition,
05:50they picked up a win.
05:51Are they ultimately better together?
05:54I think you put a question out there,
05:57but really there's only two men that know the answer to that.
05:59And we can't really say that per se
06:01because you look at how one man treats the situation,
06:04then you look at how the other man treats the situation.
06:06And that was a cheap shot.
06:08As Tyler Bate was looking towards Pete Dunn
06:10and Grayson Waller once again, oh, inserting himself.
06:14We've got to remember for Tyler Bate,
06:15they've been looking at the shoulder.
06:16There is a scar on the left shoulder of Tyler Bate
06:19that they have zoned out and picked apart right now.
06:21That is from the torn pectoral.
06:22He tore the muscle off the bone
06:24and he's still trying to get back to 100%.
06:26That was, of course, last summer,
06:28but Austin Theory in control right now
06:29hooks that outside leg.
06:31Only gets two right there.
06:33And Vic, you talk about that single success
06:35that Grayson Waller might be looking for,
06:38but what was going on last week against Sheamus?
06:41Well, not a lot of success.
06:42I guess that's how you could throw it out there.
06:44And there was one man who seemed to have a smile on his face,
06:46so to speak.
06:48Oh, and that man!
06:49Oh, no!
06:49Crash and burn!
06:50Sent right into Grayson Waller.
06:52Nice counter there by Tyler Bate.
06:53Tyler Bate desperately's got to make a tag
06:55at this juncture of the matchup.
06:57And the big, strong boy looking to make a move!
06:58Has an opening!
06:59And here comes the Bruiserweight!
07:02Oh!
07:03Right to the mush,
07:04as Booker T would say on NXT.
07:06Big pump kick.
07:07As we know for weeks now,
07:08Tyler Bate has been trying to get Pete Dunne
07:10to crack a smile.
07:11This will certainly get the Bruiserweight excited.
07:13Well, he started that movement only 11 days ago.
07:15Operation Young and Bitter
07:17to try to get Pete Dunne to smile.
07:20As Pete Dunne rocking and rolling right here.
07:23I think Pete is happy that, you know,
07:25Bate's back.
07:26He just wouldn't know it.
07:27And Pete!
07:29Going for all risk.
07:31No reward right there.
07:32There's a tag in to Tyler Bate.
07:33Oh!
07:34A bop and a bing!
07:36And Tyler Bate starting to cook a little bit here, Vic.
07:38And it's time for some revolutions!
07:43There's the big, strong boy.
07:45Former two-time NXT UK champion.
07:48One of the most decorated...
07:48Wait a minute, from behind!
07:49...in UK history.
07:50And here comes Grayson Waller looking for it all!
07:53And once again, Waller trying to find that spotlight!
07:55Oh, nice!
07:56And Tyler Bate off the springboard
07:59and Bate starting to roll!
08:01Feel the energy, Blake!
08:04Tag was made.
08:05This is certainly one B-word
08:06that Pete Dunne can get behind!
08:08And Tyler Bate wiping out Austin Theory here.
08:12I don't know if Waller threw Theory in,
08:14but nonetheless,
08:15Grayson Waller is standing tall at this moment.
08:19Not even checking on his tag team partner.
08:21And Waller in!
08:22It gets caught by Pete Dunne!
08:27Tyler Bate's now legal.
08:29And Vic, we talk about Bate being
08:30one of the most decorated stars in UK history.
08:33Pete Dunne is right there!
08:35And Bate and Dunne!
08:36Make a statement!
08:40Here are your winners!
08:43New Catch Republic!
08:46Shunned out of the tag team title opportunity
08:48this past Monday by New Catch Republic.
08:51They're back with a big win right here!
08:53Huge victory in the end!
08:55Pete Dunne is happy Tyler Bate's back.
08:57He's happy they picked up a victory,
08:58but there is still a lot of questions
09:00surrounding their opponents.
09:02Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
09:05But this moment, right now,
09:06is all about the New Catch Republic.
09:09No smile there for Pete Dunne,
09:11but Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne,
09:13New Catch Republic,
09:14pick up the huge dub right here on Main Event.
09:17Right now.
