00:01Then.
00:08Now.
00:14Forever.
00:23Together.
00:30We are live in Portland, Oregon, City of Roses with a Monday Night Raw
00:35that's more prickly thorns than it's perfume petals.
00:40The Moda Center is packed and they're gonna love who's back on his feet.
00:46Damian Priest has arrived.
00:49Lastly knew he was badly beaten at the hospital with Rhea Ripley you see there.
00:53Now the Terror Twins are digging deep, set to take it out on their tormentors.
00:58Priest gets a match with despicable Dirty Dom tonight.
01:03In fact, the entire Judgment Day is here.
01:05Look at that.
01:06They have a heavy workload.
01:07They have to prove they deserve to keep those tag titles.
01:10J.D. and Finn put them on the line against The New Day.
01:12World Tag Team Championship match is gonna be coming your way.
01:16Who knows what Liv and Dom are laughing about there.
01:20And Damage Control is out for a singles win.
01:23They recently had a number one contenders match that went sideways.
01:28And now they're facing off Bianca Belair with Jake Cargill by her side.
01:33The EST will place Kairi Sane tonight.
01:38And folks, it's a colossal clash.
01:41Braun Strowman, one big SOB been fighting through pain.
01:46He'll now face the man who did it to him.
01:50Big Bronson Reed, the globe-shaped Intimidator,
01:54meets up with his chief mountainous rival tonight.
01:58And there's one more headliner who's made his way to Portland.
02:04His mere presence brings about a chorus, his name to be chanted over and over.
02:11Drew thought he was done.
02:13He's not.
02:14Say it with me, Portland.
02:17CM Punk.
02:20CM Punk.
02:22CM Punk.
02:24CM Punk.
02:26CM Punk.
02:28CM Punk.
02:30CM Punk.
02:31CM Punk.
02:33CM Punk.
02:35CM Punk.
02:37CM Punk.
02:38CM Punk.
02:40CM Punk.
02:41In less than three weeks, that cult of personality,
02:46It will be blasting throughout Atlanta, and Punk will take on a legacy-defining challenge.
03:16It's gonna be hell in a cell for Punk against Drew McIntyre.
03:46Wade Barrett, that comes after he suffered deranged destruction that you
03:49yourself tried to temper a couple of weeks ago.
03:52Yeah, tried and failed to temper, and if you see that focused,
03:57almost somber look in the eyes of CM Punk, there is a reason why.
04:02And it's not just the specter of hell in a cell that hangs over CM Punk.
04:09It's what happened a couple of weeks ago at the hands of none other than
04:13Drew McIntyre.
04:16And we recall that Drew thought we would never see this right now.
04:22Yeah, and it certainly wasn't supposed to happen.
04:25Drew McIntyre essentially tried to end the career of CM Punk.
04:29It appears he failed, and CM Punk is now ready to make
04:34Drew McIntyre face the consequences of that blow.
04:39October 5th, it will be on.
04:43Hell in a Cell, Punk and McIntyre.

06:24When I came back
06:26to the WWE
06:28I said I did not come here
06:30to make friends and that didn't
06:32necessarily mean
06:34that I came here
06:36to make a mortal enemy
06:38but that's exactly
06:40what I have done
06:42so much so
06:44that the only way
06:46to end this
06:48between Drew McIntyre and myself
06:50is in hell
06:52in a cell
06:54CHEERING
06:56CHEERING
06:58CHEERING
07:00CHEERING
07:02I feel a little bit
07:04naive to think
07:06that I thought this was over
07:08because I touched four turnbuckles
07:10in Berlin
07:12CHEERING
07:14Maybe Drew
07:16was a little bit naive
07:18to think that this was all gonna be over
07:20because he jumped me in
07:22Chicago months ago
07:24and tried to drag my wife
07:26and my dog into this mess
07:28CHEERING
07:30CHEERING
07:32CHEERING
07:34We probably all agree
07:36that it should have stopped
07:38the second time Drew
07:40sent me to a hospital
07:42two weeks ago
07:44CHEERING
07:46But I'm just
07:48too damn

07:52CHEERING
07:58Drew's
08:00fatal mistake in all
08:02this is not getting the job
08:04done
08:06but now things
08:08are drastically different
08:10people can ask
08:12people can ask me how many

08:18CHEERING
08:20CHEERING
08:22CHEERING
08:24CHEERING

08:34CHEERING

08:40My little sisters asked me not to do this

09:10So

12:02three weeks time Joe

12:14end so be it
12:16I'm prepared to die folks
12:18this is October 5th hell in a cell
12:20and the build up to this is going
12:22to be absolutely incredible let's turn our
12:24attention to Seamus for a moment and
12:26lately his old mate Pete Dunne
12:28has absolutely snapped Wade
12:30this was a couple of weeks ago the
12:32intercontinental championship tournament Seamus
12:34looking to advance out of nowhere
12:36pops Pete Dunne smashing
12:38that shillelagh over the
12:40back of the Celtic warrior
12:42costing Seamus the match
12:44up now last week Seamus returned
12:46struck back reacquired
12:48the shillelagh
12:50CHANTING
12:52lets bleed and go
12:56taste of things to come from Seamus
12:58now lets head over to backstage
13:00Correspondent Kathy Kelly
13:02Thanks so much
13:04Wade, Joe I am here with
13:06Seamus and Seamus we have seen
13:08escalating tension between yourself
13:10and former comrade Pete Dunne over
13:12the past several weeks so take me through how
13:14you're feeling heading into this match tonight
13:16you know miss Kelly
13:18I thought this Pete Dunne fella
13:20too well, he really hit me where it hurts.
13:25And no, I'm not talking about when he smashed my hand, or
13:28when he cracked the shillelagh across my back, my shillelagh.
13:32I'm talking about when he took my dream away from me.
13:34The one mountain I have left to climb here in the WWE,
13:38the Intercontinental Championship, and
13:40becoming the first ever WWE Grand Slam Champion.
13:45But now, Miss Kelly, it's time to inflict pain to my protege.
13:52And to the Reno here, the proper fellows, I ask you,
13:55please, whatever you do, don't call him Butch.
13:59He hates that.
14:02He actually despises being called Butch.
14:06When you say Butch over and over again.
14:08But tonight, Pete Dunne, you become my Butch.
14:14So I've only got one question left.
14:18Portland, are you ready for a banger?
14:21Sheamus ready to serve up a banger and
14:25executive producing the crowd quite well.
14:31There's a bit of lack of sincerity with that advice from Sheamus there.
14:37The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
14:41Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 267 pounds,
14:48Sheamus!
14:49Sheamus!
14:50Sheamus!

15:21Sheamus!
15:23Back here in Portland, reminds you that in the new Peacock original, Fight Night,
15:27schemers, dreamers, hustlers, high rollers, they collide over a million dollar heist
15:31on the night of Muhammad Ali's historic 1970 comeback fight in Atlanta.
15:36It stars Kevin Hart, Terrence Howard, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson.
15:39Fight Night is streaming now only on Peacock.
15:43Speaking of Fight Night, Sheamus.
15:46The last time the Celtic warrior had a match here in Portland,
15:50it was with Pete slash Bush in a six-man tag win,
15:54counting Imperium that way.
16:05And his opponent, from Birmingham, England,
16:08weighing in at 205 pounds,
16:11the bruiser weight,
16:14Pete Dunne!
16:17You know, Wade, every time Pete reflects on those sprawling group days with Sheamus,
16:22you just get the sense that he should be in therapy, not in the ring,
16:25but he's been venting through random attacks.
16:27Yeah, and you know what?
16:28I'd actually, in part, agree with Pete Dunne's perspective on this,
16:32as the crowd here are asking,
16:34where is Botch?
16:35Well, Botch is long gone, and Pete Dunne is here to stay.
16:40So here's the deal.
16:41Pete Dunne's career throughout eternity
16:44on the independent scene in NXT.
16:46This is a guy who won gold after gold after gold.
16:50He arrives here on Raw, and SmackDown links up with Sheamus.
16:53Not even a sniff of gold ever since.
16:56He's putting that squarely at the feet of his one-time mentor, Sheamus.
17:00He sees Sheamus as the man who derailed his career,
17:04and I understand why Pete Dunne,
17:07I almost said the B word,
17:08is so vengeful right now.
17:10You almost said Botch.
17:11I did.
17:12It's the way the crowd is right now.
17:13It's kind of in my head now.
17:15That moniker that he takes, though, to such an extreme weight,
17:18it's like this torture tag rather than a name.
17:21It just feels like it makes him a joke, according to him,
17:24as Sheamus is all over him right away.
17:26Well, here's what Dunne sees.
17:27He sees, ooh, nice shot there from Dunne.
17:29He sees Sheamus' little brothering in him, and I get it.
17:32If you look at the resume of Sheamus,
17:33Sheamus has won it all, almost,
17:35apart from the Intercontinental Championship.
17:38So he certainly has a bigger resume,
17:40but Pete Dunne is no slouch.
17:42This is a guy who has all the potential in the world
17:45to get to the very top here in WWE,
17:47I mean, World Championships.
17:49He doesn't need to be little-brothered
17:51and talked down to by anyone, least of all Sheamus.
17:54Well, Sheamus is targeting that back early on.
17:57They met back on August 19th,
17:59and it was an interesting match.
18:01Oh, he's lining him up early for the ten beats.
18:05The last time this happened,
18:07Sheamus gave him the ten beats and then ten more
18:09while draped hanging along the top rope
18:11in that match back in August.
18:13Pete Dunne clearly has learned from that,
18:15and it might be...
18:16Oh, wow.
18:18Hyper-extending that right elbow back.
18:22Nobody does small joint damage better than Pete Dunne,
18:25but Sheamus, what a brutalist,
18:29merciless fighter he is,
18:31immediately bouncing back.
18:34The master of joint manipulation,
18:38and Sheamus with the kick
18:40on the levels of midsection
18:42and working down the leg
18:45before Pete Dunne turns things around
18:47and steps up with the kick up high.
18:49I'm impressed by Pete Dunne
18:51after that volley of strikes from Sheamus.
18:53There's a certain permanence
18:55to the shots that come from Sheamus,
18:57and Dunne just bounced back.
19:03Right on the back of the elbow now
19:05as he works the other arm.
19:07This audience is clearly trying their best
19:10to throw Pete Dunne off his game,
19:12simply needs to drown out the noise,
19:15refocus, and capitalize on this great start
19:19he's made against Sheamus.
19:21Up and over goes Dunne.
19:23Now on to the steps.
19:25He's got that left hand in a compromised position,
19:28again grinding down on the fingers of Sheamus
19:32against the steel.
19:34Sheamus knew exactly what was coming,
19:36and this is about to look very ugly for Pete Dunne.
19:42Right down on the announce table
19:45as Dunne is in pain
19:47and Sheamus is in control
19:49here on Monday Night Raw.
19:54Sheamus and Pete Dunne going at it here,
19:56Monday Night Raw from Portland,
19:58protesting for Wade Barrett ringside here
20:00for Monday Night Raw.
20:02There's so much emotion between these two
20:04and simply controlling that can be a challenge
20:07as Sheamus looking to get him in position,
20:10but Pete Dunne slides down,
20:11powerbomb opportunity for Dunne.
20:15Wow!
20:16That is a massive frame of Sheamus.
20:19Hook of the leg!
20:22And Sheamus kicks out.
20:24Well, Sheamus went for broke
20:25with a white noise off the top rope,
20:27but Pete Dunne simply wise to it
20:30with enough power to carry the big Irishman
20:33across the center of the ring,
20:35and right now,
20:36Sheamus looks like a lame duck,
20:38and Pete Dunne needs to go for the kill
20:40and ignore this audience.
20:42And there is nothing more than he would savor
20:45than defeating Sheamus.
20:46He has been at odds with him.
20:48He has been tortured over the past.
20:51And a big right hand comes in
20:54and now ground and pound
20:56and just letting that emotion out
20:58on his former mate.
20:59Every shot to the temple.
21:01Referee taking a close look there.
21:03Almost called this one as a disqualification.
21:07Wait, there are times where I watch Pete against Sheamus
21:10and I wonder how does he balance
21:12controlling all of this rage and emotion with Sheamus
21:16compared to the strategy
21:17and tactical way of going about getting a win.
21:21Look at this.
21:22Sometimes that rage and emotion
21:25can carry you to different places
21:28You're a bitch!
21:32Did you hear that?
21:34He mispronounced botch, I think, Joe,
21:36but things are starting to look bleak for Pete Dunne.
21:40Payback is a botch.
21:46Nearly sent him over with that.
21:49The power slam as Sheamus,
21:52the Celtic warrior, in control.
21:56Sheamus promised this audience a banger.
21:59On my word, is he delivering once again.
22:03He's bringing that knee down,
22:05that knee pad down.
22:06He wants to deliver it with force against Dunne.
22:10The bruiser weight laying out
22:13and Sheamus brings it
22:15with a 267 pounds hook to the leg.
22:20And Dunne survives for the moment.
22:23Talk about the durability of Pete Dunne.
22:25265 pounds, a flying Irishman
22:29with pinpoint accuracy
22:31on the jaw of the Englishman.
22:33Somehow, Pete Dunne lives on,
22:35but he is wobbly knee.
22:40In position.
22:43Dunne escapes it.
22:44Deltic cross, thankfully for Dunne.
22:46He's out of there and bouncing back.
22:49And a big kick.
22:53The bitter, resentful Pete Dunne
22:56has bought himself another opportunity
22:59to conquer his former mentor
23:02who is glassy-eyed in the ring.
23:05Uppercut from Sheamus.
23:07Sheamus fighting on instinct here.
23:17From the second rope,
23:19drives him right down.
23:24Slow to the cover.
23:29And a kick out by Dunne.
23:30Baby Boy Smith style power slam
23:34off the second rope from the big Irishman,
23:37connecting perfectly on the spine of Dunne.
23:41Dunne somehow still in this,
23:44but in big, big trouble
23:46and not where you want to be
23:48in a matchup with Sheamus.
23:52He tried earlier
23:54to get Dunne in position.
23:56Dunne working on those digits of Sheamus,
23:59bending him back as Sheamus escapes
24:01and brings him up.
24:02Ten beats in the barring,
24:04ready to be applied.
24:06Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
24:11nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
24:17Bonus bruising for Dunne.
24:20Level extra stank on those shots
24:23for the former brawling brute.
24:25That's a shillelagh.
24:27That's a shillelagh he just picked up.
24:29About to get disqualified here.
24:31The shillelagh's in his head.
24:33Oh! Pump knee from Sheamus!
24:37Well, that takes care of that.
24:42And now it's in the hands of the Celtic Warrior.
24:49And you can see the referee saying,
24:51put it down, have no chance.
24:53Pete Dunne scrambled away in desperation.
24:56Oh!
24:57It's a cricket bat!
24:59A solid wood cricket bat!
25:02That thing is heavier than a baseball bat!
25:05Big boot!
25:06Turns him into the cover!
25:08Pete Dunne for the win!
25:13He rocked up with the cricket bat!
25:15Here is your winner,
25:17the Bruiserweight,
25:19Pete Dunne!
25:22Well, talk about the smarts of Pete Dunne.
25:24We talked about the emotion earlier.
25:26That was a bait and switch.
25:28Goaded Sheamus in with the shillelagh.
25:31Lying in wait was that cricket bat.
25:34And Sheamus got hit for six.
25:36That was like a boundary.
25:38And that is a sport even you haven't yet.
25:40I mean, I'll turn to my Englishman partner here,
25:42that cricket bat.
25:43That thing is brutal.
25:45And Pete Dunne gets the best of Sheamus because of it.
25:48Hey, the past few episodes of Monday Night Raw
25:50have had a constant thread line.
25:52The way that has been the judgment today,
25:54with Damage Dunne always establishing themselves
25:57as running this place.
25:58And last week, Damian Priest took it head on.
26:04Because I want you one-on-one
26:07at Bad Blood.
26:09Fine, I accept.
26:11Now it's time for me to do what I came out here to do.
26:14Oh, haven't you forgotten about the old
26:16Judgment Day playbook?
26:18Yeah, that playbook is the numbers game
26:21which took Priest down
26:24until a crutch-bearing Rhea Ripley
26:27arrived on the scene.
26:29Was short-lived, though, as Liv Morgan
26:31turned up attacking the injured knee
26:34of Rhea Ripley.
26:35Then the beatdown commenced.
26:37Judgment Day like a pack of wolves
26:40tearing the terror twins apart
26:42until Jey Uso arrived chasing them off.
26:44Job done.
26:47Exactly, you know I got your back anyway, so.
26:50What's up, Priest?
26:52Yeah.
26:55I know you got a match with Dominik tonight, Uso.
26:57And you're not going to ask for my help
26:59because I know how you get down, bruh.
27:01But I'm going to have eyes on that match, bruh.
27:03Got you.
27:04All right, fair enough.
27:05Sure.
27:06Uso, what up, man?
27:07Hey, what's going on?
27:09Priest.
27:10Rhea.
27:11Now, look, I know that we haven't seen
27:13eye-to-eye in the past,
27:15but I know all three of y'all got an issue
27:16with the Judgment Day.
27:17But tonight, Kofi and I got a match
27:19for the tag team titles.
27:20You become champs for the 13th time.
27:22And just like when you were fighting
27:23for the heavyweight championship,
27:24you wanted to go it alone, yeah.
27:26So you could prove to everybody
27:27that you deserve to be there.
27:28We want to go it alone to prove to everybody
27:30we still got what it takes.
27:33So that's all I'm asking.
27:35Stay back here and let us handle it.
27:38I respect that.
27:39Just do us all a favor, though.
27:41Whoop their asses and take them titles.
27:43Hell yeah, hell yeah.
27:44And also, I like him a lot more than Don.
27:46Yeah?
27:47Let's go, baby.
27:49Come on.
27:55A lot of action still to come here on Raw,
27:58but this is back at SummerSlam
28:00where Rhea Ripley's then-lover boy Don Mysterio
28:03assisted his now-girlfriend Liv Morgan
28:06in defending her women's world championship.
28:08And how about this celebration, Joe?
28:10X-rated smooch between the two lovebirds
28:14that were seen around the world
28:16tonight, Ripley's terror twin Damian Priest
28:19looks for a little payback
28:21against Dirty Don Mysterio.
28:23They will be going head-to-head
28:25in tonight's main event
28:27here on Monday Night Raw.
28:36There he is.
28:38How you feeling?
28:39Big match for Bronson Reed tonight.
28:41I mean, I'm pretty banged up
28:42since what's been going on
28:43over the last couple weeks,
28:44but I'm not making excuses about it, you know?
28:47Well, just wanted to say good luck, man.
28:49Thank you, man.
28:50You got it.
28:51Thank you, thank you.
28:52I also want to know,
28:53what did you mean last week
28:54when you said,
28:55I'm no match for Bronson Reed?
28:57Oh, please don't take that
28:58in any kind of context.
28:59I didn't mean any disrespect by it at all.
29:01You're the man.
29:02No, I get it, I get it.
29:03I mean, I just won every title there is to win,
29:06beaten every superstar.
29:08I know this.
29:09I've seen the career that you've had.
29:11What I'm getting at is
29:12sometimes it takes a monster
29:14to beat a monster.
29:17I'm no monster.
29:18Got it.
29:19Hey, you got this.
29:22Get him.
29:23Yes, sir.
29:26Strowman versus Big Bronson Reed
29:28still to come tonight.
29:29Hey, last week it wasn't just
29:31one of the feel-good stories recently.
29:33It was a feel-great story for Natalya.

30:02and new memories made way with our trip to Calgary.
30:07And now her first singles match since June 4th.
30:11Always a pleasure seeing Natalya back here on Raw.

31:12That's what I said.
31:14Boy, last week this group found themselves
31:17on the wrong side of things, didn't they?
31:19Yes, indeed.
31:20Canada's favorite daughter, Natalya,
31:22arrived on the scene,
31:24taking it to Pure Fusion Collective
31:26and then scoring a massive win
31:29with the iconic,

31:36leaving the crowd in Calgary in raptures.
31:39And Pure Fusion Collective
31:41having to lick their wounds
31:43and try and reply this week
31:46in singles action.
31:47That was with Liver Valteria,
31:49Zelina Vega.
31:51And now, here we are with Natalya
31:53looking to gather momentum
31:54and get into that cover early on,
31:56but Zoey wasting no time.
31:58Natalya sees herself as the mother
32:00hand of the locker room.
32:01Has to help look out
32:02for some of the younger superstars,
32:04the newer women on the roster,
32:05such as Lyra Valteria,
32:07who find themselves in the crosshair
32:10of these three bullies
32:12from Pure Fusion Collective
32:14in recent weeks.
32:21It's been a while since singles action.
32:24Zoey Stark has been so competitive.
32:27Her 30th televised match this year.
32:31And a kick out.
32:33Natalya is just one of those rare women
32:35who are ever green.
32:37She had a Hall of Fame worthy career
32:3910 years ago,
32:40and she's still somehow getting better,
32:43retaining that hunger.
32:45Most matches for a female competitor,
32:47she has the record there.
32:49Most wins in a career
32:50for a female competitor,
32:51the record there,
32:52record after record for Natty.
32:55Oh, springboard dropkick
32:57from Zoey Stark.
33:00As she is off to a great start
33:02against Natalya here in Portland.
33:12Natalya,
33:13the former SmackDown Women's Champion
33:15against Zoey Stark,
33:17who was an NXT Women's Tag Champion.
33:20And a week ago,
33:21you know what happened up in Calgary.
33:24Natalya made her triumphant return
33:26in front of the home fans
33:27with Lyra and Zelina
33:29defeating Pure Fusion Collective.
33:31Well, there's been one-way traffic
33:33for the past few minutes
33:35with Zoey Stark
33:36mercilessly battering Natalya.
33:39But now Natalya
33:41finally finding something
33:43in the opposite direction,
33:45and Natalya is unleashed.
33:50Pure Fusion Collective
33:51do not like it
33:52when you punch them in the mouth.
33:54That's supposed to be their job.
33:56Getting a taste of their own medicine now.
34:03Big boot up top,
34:05but Natalya hooks the leg into the cover
34:08and Stark able to kick out.
34:10Natalya so bravely stepping up
34:13to help out
34:14the likes of Lyra Valkyria
34:17and Zelina Vega
34:18when it comes to the numbers game
34:20with Pure Fusion Collective.
34:22Severe physical consequences
34:25on the line for mixing it up
34:27with these women.
34:28But Natalya knows
34:30if you don't step to them
34:32as a group,
34:33they will devour you.
34:36Oh!
34:37Big kick
34:38and the cover.
34:41Cups up short.
34:42Natty's able to kick out.
34:44Zoey does have a victory
34:45over Natalya.
34:46That happened back in March
34:48on an edition of Main Event.
34:50There is an amazing
34:51athletic prowess
34:53combined with unparalleled aggression
34:56when it comes to Zoey Stark.
34:58The Raw and SmackDown audiences
35:00haven't yet seen everything
35:02that Stark is capable of.
35:04Attempted a Z-360.
35:06Couldn't hit the Z-360.
35:08She's thinking sharpshooter.
35:09It happened a week ago,
35:11but Zoey able to deny it.
35:12Rolls it up, though.
35:14And a reverse by Stark.
35:16And right back.
35:18Seesaw moment between these two.
35:21How many tricks have you got, ladies?
35:24It's like a chess game out there.
35:25Attempted a sharpshooter now.
35:27The roll-up by Stark.
35:29Kick out.
35:30By Natty.
35:31Right back to her.
35:32Schoolboy and the win!
35:34How about the career momentum
35:37Natalya finds
35:38within these seven days?
35:41Natalya!
35:45I don't care how good you are
35:47in that ring
35:48when you're in there
35:49with a veteran like Natalya.
35:51She just has the deepest playbook
35:53of anybody.
35:55And that came in crucial
35:56at the closing moment.
35:58Simply outwitted and outmaneuvered.
36:00Zoey Stark picking up
36:02another massive W.
36:03Let's go backstage
36:05to the Moda Center here in Portland
36:07to our ace reporter,
36:08Cathy Kelly.
36:12Well, Joe, it wouldn't be a Monday night
36:14without some Rhea Ripley.
36:16And Rhea, at Bad Blood,
36:18you face Liv Morgan
36:19for the WWE Women's World Championship.
36:22Have to ask you going in,
36:23how does your knee feel?
36:25I can take this from here.
36:28Hey, Rhea.
36:29I've, uh,
36:31I've been meaning to catch up with you
36:33for a while now, but
36:34whatever you think has been going on
36:35with me and Damien,
36:36I just haven't had a chance to speak to-
36:38Well, now you have the chance, Finn.
36:42Okay, well,
36:43here goes.
36:45I really feel like
36:47you're
36:49just as bad as Damien Priest.
36:53You said
36:54that we were a family.
36:56You acted like you cared.
36:58But in reality,
36:59the only thing you ever cared about
37:00was yourself.
37:02And I'm sick and tired
37:03of you blaming me
37:05for everything that's gone on
37:06with the Judgment Day.
37:07You and Damien are the reason
37:09why I wasn't world champion last year.
37:11You and Damien are the reason
37:13why neither of you
37:14are world champion now.
37:16You and Damien are the reason
37:18for everything that's happened
37:19in the last three months
37:20with the Judgment Day.
37:23Okay.
37:24What we're not gonna do here
37:26is lie blatantly to my face
37:28and try to rewrite history
37:30to hide your little ego problems,
37:32okay?
37:33Because we were
37:34a family.
37:36All I ever did was try to make
37:37opportunities for all of us
37:39and stop you boys from fighting
37:40every single bloody week
37:42because I loved
37:44my family.
37:46But if you wanna make me
37:47and Damien the bad guys
37:48in your fictional little story,
37:50then so be it.
37:52At Bad Blood,
37:53you,
37:54Liv,
37:55Dom,
37:56and the other two bozos,
37:58we'll see how bad
38:00we can truly be.
38:02Okay.
38:05You know, there's one more thing
38:06I wanted to tell you.
38:07And I wanted it to come from me.
38:09You know when Liv
38:11was putting the moves on Dom?
38:13And Dom was trying to resist?
38:16I was the devil on Dom's shoulder.
38:18I told him to go with Liv.
38:20I told him to forget about you.
38:21It was me.
38:27Do we have a problem here?
38:33We got no problem here, mate.
38:35Just two friends catching up.
38:37But, uh,
38:39you might wanna focus on
38:41the Intercontinental Championship
38:42because I think you might be, uh,
38:44a little bit out of your league over here.
38:51Thanks, Zeus.
38:52I appreciate it.
38:53But...
38:54Finny's got a point.
38:57What, that you're out of my league?
38:58What?
38:59No.
39:00What am I about to say?
39:01No.
39:02That you gotta focus on becoming
39:03Intercontinental Champion.
39:05Don't worry about it, Rhea.
39:06I'm on the way to the ring right now.
39:08Ha ha.
39:11Ah, the glasses are on.

40:17dumped in Portland right now.
40:36What on earth are you doing?
40:40Keep Portland Yeet Wade.
40:43That's a good sign, my man.
40:44You're a classy man, Joe.
40:46This is just so unseemly.
40:48You're supposed to be gentlemen at the desk.
40:51You've got your custom suit on,
40:53you're a high-class man,
40:54and you're yeeting?
40:55Custom suit that Natty just spit all over.
41:00Well, he survived the Gauntlet
41:01and Triple Threat matches.
41:03Number one contender
41:05for the Intercontinental Championship.
41:07He got through every barrier to take it,
41:09and now the hype begins
41:10for what he hopes will be
41:12his first singles championship
41:15in the WWE.
41:17Jey Uso is that close,
41:19and it comes next week.
41:21Wade Barrett.
41:22Yes, indeed.
41:23He won the Intercontinental Championship
41:24number one contender's tournament.
41:26It was an arduous journey,
41:28but he got what he wanted.
41:29Be careful what you wish for.
41:31Next Monday, right here on Monday Night Raw,
41:34Intercontinental Championship on the line.
41:37Paul Breaker defends against this man.
41:40Main Event Jey Uso.
41:55I said,
41:56Main Event Jey Uso
41:58is now in your city!
42:08Yes.
42:10I got my match with Braun Breaker.
42:14My first, sorry,
42:16about to be first championship
42:17Intercontinental Champion.
42:20I'm excited about it.
42:23I wanted it when I first came to Raw.
42:27I wanted it when I left the bloodline.
42:31Now I don't need no help, Uso.
42:33I can finally be on my own
42:36and get my first singles championship
42:38and finally be Main Event Jey Uso!
42:52So this opportunity ain't gonna pass me by.
42:55Well, speaking of not gonna pass it by,
42:58the badass is not gonna pass this by.
43:01This moment.
43:03Here is the Intercontinental Champion.
43:07The explosive Braun Breaker.
43:12This guy is the future of this industry.
43:16Don't scratch that.
43:17This guy is the now of this industry.
43:22And it might be a cold day in hell
43:24before someone prizes that championship
43:27from his shoulder.
43:31250 pounds of nitroglycerin.
43:35Jey Uso, you are in trouble next week.
43:40250 and a human missile who runs 23 miles per hour.
43:51We got any dogs barking in Portland?
44:02I told you to stay away.
44:06And yet here you are
44:09with this relentless pursuit
44:12for my Intercontinental Championship.
44:15So inspiring what you're doing out here,
44:18trying to prove to everybody, the world, your family,
44:22that you can do this all by yourself,
44:24that you don't need the help of your family
44:27to succeed as a single star here.
44:31Did my homework a little bit
44:33since the last time you and I spoke.
44:3614 years you've been here.
44:4014. It's a long time.
44:43There's no doubt you're a star, Jey.
44:45Big star.
44:46One of the biggest stars in WWE.
44:51They love you.
44:52They love Chant and Yeet.
44:53They love main event Jey Uso.
44:57But the funny thing is,
44:59I've managed to do more as a single superstar
45:02in six months than you've done in your whole career.
45:10Oh, here's the kicker.
45:13I did it without my father.
45:15I did it without my uncle.
45:17I didn't need my family's help.
45:19I didn't need the name.
45:20I did it all by myself.
45:22You want to know why?
45:26This is my family.
45:28This is what I fight for.
45:30I fight for this championship.
45:32It fights for me.
45:36I'm a dog.
45:38That's what I do.
45:45And next Monday,
45:47when we fight for this Intercontinental Championship,
45:50I'm going to expose you, Jey,
45:52because you are nothing without your family.
45:58Oh!
46:22I see it.
46:25I see it in you, Braun.
46:29You got that dog in you, Uso.
46:34I promise I'm not going to take you lightly.
46:38But like you said, how long you been here?
