00:00And yeah, you hate me, you want to know something?
00:07When I was out, one of my friends, they asked me, they said, hey, do you miss it?
00:13And I had a thought, I said, hey, no, I do, I miss being in the ring.
00:18But it's weird, I like myself more.
00:22And I almost, I didn't understand what I was saying, but now I do, because I wasn't captured.
00:29By all of you, no, I didn't have to listen to you tell me who I am and what I'm about.
00:37I didn't have to listen to all of your lies.
00:40The same lies that I hear repeated from the one person that I had hoped for in this business.
00:49I didn't have to spin my wheels trying to prove myself that I wasn't what you say I am.
00:55But that all changes, because from now on, whatever you say I am, I am.
01:01So I'm selfish?
01:03Yes, I am.
01:04I'm greedy?
01:06Yes, I am.
01:07I'm cutthroat?
01:09Yes, I am.
01:11And all those girls, all those girls in the back that were happy I was gone, that thought
01:20it was safe, because the fire had gone out of Becky Lynch, where they're finally going
01:25to realize what it's like to be held down by the man.
01:29Well, one thing I'll say is, apparently the fire hasn't gone out of Becky Lynch.
01:39He said, I am whatever you say I am.
01:42If I wasn't, then why would you say I am?
01:46And the man wants to get back on top.
01:51I didn't want to do that to this.
02:13I don't want to do any of this.
02:15All I want is just this.
02:19Go home and be rich.
02:22But I was once programmed by lesser people, too.
02:28And I can't leave my brothers until we all wake up.
02:34Do you think these people care that you're missing your family?
02:38Do you think these people care that each night your choices to hurt will be hurt?
02:45Last week, Tozawa stepped up to me.
02:50And the crowd cheered him on,
02:53waltzing him straight into the flat line.
02:58And yet, you still seek their approval.
03:01That is because you let the sheep control the wolves.
03:06Get up off your knees, men!
03:08Don't you see that they're cheers like a stone to a blade?
03:11But I can see right through them.
03:13That's why they keep mocking me by chanting my name.
03:16But I will reclaim my own day once my job here is done.
03:21But until that day, remember this, my brothers.
03:24It will hurt me to hurt you.
03:27But I would rather you fall at my hand
03:29than fall out into the abyss.
03:33I have a question for you.
03:37Okay.
03:37Pierce.
03:38Yes, sir.
03:39I will lose him.
03:40Come on, Adam.
03:41Think about it.
03:42He can do this.
03:42Tozawa, son, I respect the hell out of you, okay?
03:44And that's brave.
03:45But I just can't give you a match with Rusev.
03:47You're not medically clear.
03:48He's not clear, guys.
03:49He can do it.
03:50He can totally do this.
03:50You're not clear.
03:51I will be soon.
03:52I know you will be.
03:53And when you are, we will revisit this conversation.
03:55I'll give you my word, okay?
03:56Tozawa!
03:57How are you doing, fella?
03:59Fair play to your mom for never backing down.
04:01And I know when you are cleared,
04:04you're going to give that hair in and hand at all.
04:06Hell, yeah?
04:08Respect, man.
04:11Thanks, guys.
04:13Pierce, can I have a sec?
04:14You can.
04:14What a return last week.
04:16You know, if I need that, man.
04:17I was just dying to get back to work.
04:19Yeah.
04:19And, like, I'll be honest,
04:20I needed to shake off that ring rust.
04:22What rust?
04:23Well, you know, it's all in the head, fella.
04:25But I'll be honest, I want to keep that momentum going.
04:27So how about it, right?
04:28Think about this, yeah?
04:29Next week, Celtic Warrior faces the bouncing wallaby waster,
04:36Grayson Waller.
04:39You know what?
04:41Consider that official, because that sounds like a banger.
04:45Banger speaking my language, fella.
04:47It's great to be back.
04:49Glad to have you.
04:51Sheamus actually carries that shillelagh everywhere.
04:54Absolutely.
04:55Bangers only with Sheamus.
04:57Listen, next week, Grayson Waller is going to have to get into one.
05:01Well, Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix next week in the beautiful city of Greenville, South Carolina.
05:07And what a lineup.
05:09This coming Friday on SmackDown, qualifying matches begin for Money in the Bank.
05:13And they continue right here next Monday night on Raw, Money in the Bank.
05:17Well, if you win that, you can punch yourself a ticket to a world championship opportunity sometime down the road.
05:24Also next week, because of what transpired just a little bit earlier on, A.J. Styles, teams with Penta.
05:30What a team that's going to be.
05:32The Dagon Finn Balor and J.D. McDonough of Judgment Day.
05:37You said it, Pat.
05:37It is going to be a banger.
05:40Sheamus, the Celtic Warrior, back in action.
05:42You can thank Austin Theory for this against Grayson Waller, one-on-one next week.
05:49And hey, we're being told this match was just made by our general manager moments ago.
05:53It is not for the world championship, but it is the champ Jey Uso versus Braun Breaker.
05:59The dogs are going to be barking in South Carolina as main event Jey Uso and Braun Breaker.
06:07Fight on Raw.
06:09The following content is a tag team match.
06:39scheduled for one fall.
06:41Introducing best from Tokyo, Japan, Julia!
06:49Pat, I cannot wait for this.
06:52The Monday Night Raw in-ring debut.
06:56Oh, madness.
06:58The former NXT Women's Champion, Julia.
07:02Julia.
07:02I said this earlier.
07:08Julia and Roxanne Perez are going to dominate this business for years to come.
07:13They team up next against the world champion Sky.
07:16The former champ, Rhea Ripley, in our main event on Raw.
07:19The former NXT Women's Champion, calm, confident, natural charisma.
07:44The NXT girls have come in here and really made a name for themselves very quickly.
07:55They reported a saying earlier, we don't give a damn about Io Sky, Rhea Ripley, or anybody in the women's locker room here at Raw.
08:05They feel like not only are they in the future, but they're the right now.
08:10And many people, Pat, have believed that the women's division in NXT may be the best in the world right now.
08:15And you can check it out as it streams globally right here on Netflix.
08:24So much talent coming from NXT.
08:27And Julia and her tag team, Butter, tonight in the main event are certainly two examples of the greatness of the NXT brand.
08:34Of course, the current champion, none other, is Stephanie Bacare, who we've had the honor of watching here on Raw for a couple of weeks.
08:42They're all impressive, they're all prepared, and they're all kind of got this quiet cockiness about them.
08:51They know they're great.
08:53Prepared, that is a perfect word to describe where Julie and Roxanne are right now in their career.
09:00Yeah, the prodigy.
09:12And her tag team, Butter, from Laredo, Texas, Roxanne Perez.
09:23The prodigy, Roxanne Perez.
09:28And just watching her mature over the past couple of years, watching her confidence just grow and grow.
09:35She believes she deserves to be in main events, to be up against the best where she is tonight.
09:43And she's in main event of Raw already.
09:45That's exactly where she believes she was born to be.
09:48They call her the prodigy for good reason.
09:53She's been at this since she was 15.
09:56And it all comes very easily to Roxanne Perez.
10:01Roxanne and Julia.
10:04That man, huge fan of Roxanne Perez.
10:07Ruben, there.
10:08Sorry, Pat.
10:08No, there's just a sign of a guy made that was just Roxanne Perez.
10:13He might be her biggest fan here in Louisville.
10:14There he is.
10:16That guy's ready.
10:18To watch the prodigy tonight.
10:20No reason to say anything after that.
10:23Post from Chicago.
10:25NXT girls are in the main event.
10:26Hey, a lot to talk about tomorrow for Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, as they have Raw Recap brought to you by Fanatics, available every Tuesday on WWE's YouTube and all audio platforms, wherever you get your podcasts.
10:43This week's guest, this week's guest, the spectacular Penta.
10:47Speaking of the spectacular, to the great women in the WWE today, Roxanne Perez and Julia, teaming up here tonight at the main event.
10:59And your opponents, first, from Tokyo, Japan, she is the women's world champion, EO Sky.
11:24Did you hear that ovation for EO Sky, which she walked out here tonight?
11:30The women's world champion who took the title from her partner tonight, Rhea Ripley, and then defended it in a triple threat match at WrestleMania.
11:41EO Sky, obviously our champion for good reason.
11:44One of the best in the world, and has been for some time.
11:48Of course, made her name in Japan, much like her counterpart, Julia, did tonight.
11:59Now on top of the world on the women's division here on Monday Night Raw.
12:03Watching our team up with the anomaly from Australia is certainly going to be something here tonight.
12:22We're going to have to represent here for Monday Night Raw.
12:25We're going to have to represent here for Monday Night Raw.
12:55And her tag team partner, from Adelaide, South Australia, Rhea Ripley.
13:12You know, last week, Rhea was in Australia doing a promotional tour in her homeland for the big events coming up in Perth in October.
13:19And, well, Julia and Roxanne would take advantage of that, taking out EO Sky last week.
13:25Rhea told me earlier today, Roxanne and Julia picked the wrong week to mess around.
13:31Louisville's response to Mami has been deafening here tonight.
13:45Rhea's made it very clear to EO Sky, hey, I respect you.
13:53Rhea will fight together against a common enemy, but she has not forgotten about the world title that EO Sky has around her waist.
14:03Yeah, Rhea Ripley's used to having gold around her waist.
14:07But she's okay to kick some NXT ass here on a Monday with EO Sky.
14:15The current world champion EO Sky, the former world champion Rhea Ripley,
14:20against two of the hottest up-and-coming stars in the business today,
14:24Roxanne Perez and Julia, in our main event of Monday Night Raw.
14:30The EO Sky going to start things off with Roxanne Perez tonight.
14:40They had a tremendous matchup last week, and Roxanne, they're trying to get out of harm's way,
14:44and EO Sky says, not so fast.
14:46Roxanne might have done that on purpose, though.
14:48The prodigy always has a plan, Sydney.
14:49Yeah, the former two-time NXT Women's Champion.
14:52And there's EO Sky taking Roxanne down, and Roxanne turns the tables.
14:56Roxanne, a former tag champ as well.
14:58I think how physical we have here at the beginning of this fight.
15:03Well, Roxanne and Julia have done a lot to EO and even Rhea over the past few weeks.
15:08Covered out by the champ and a kickout by Perez.
15:12Yeah, these NXT girls don't give a single damn about anybody but themselves.
15:17We don't give a damn was the actual quote about EO Sky and Rhea Ripley's legacy and everything.
15:25And now the side headlock applied to Perez.
15:27Roxanne Perez, known as the prodigy, 15 years old.
15:32She would start her career training with a Booker T in Houston, Texas.
15:37Well-documented story of a 10-hour bus ride on weekends to be able to train.
15:43Certainly loves the business and has taken to it quickly.
15:47That's her and Julia.
15:50Making a name for themselves quickly here.
15:53On roll.
15:53Now, double-team action.
15:57Roxanne and Julia working well together as they send Roxanne into the corner.
16:02Great tag team work here by Julia and Roxanne.
16:05And here's Julia, known as Beautiful Madness.
16:08And Roxanne Perez with a cheap shot.
16:13It was Julia who was dealing with referee Jessica Carr.
16:16And Rhea Ripley now.
16:18Rhea said, oh, that's cute.
16:19Gonna make Roxanne pay.
16:22I think I had a cheap shot, my partner.
16:24Drop kick by Ripley.
16:25Holy hell, did you see.
16:29And now, the official Jessica Carr trying to separate Rhea Ripley and get her back out to the apron.
16:34And Julia now making EO Sky pay.
16:38Julia, former World of Stardom champion.
16:42Wonder World of Stardom championship holder as well.
16:44And EO Sky.
16:46What a move as she delivers a drop kick to Julia.
16:49Julia, one time.
16:51And a former NXT women's champion.
16:55Tag made.
16:56No, no, no.
16:57Thought the tag was made.
16:58But Roxanne Perez.
17:00Veteran move by Perez.
17:02Yeah, the prodigy was ready.
17:04Oh, with a big slap to mommy.
17:06And that ain't gonna do much but wake her up, I feel.
17:09Yeah, now mocking Rhea Ripley.
17:11And I'm not quite sure that was the right move by Roxanne Perez.
17:14She's gutsy, but gonna get herself in a little bit of trouble here.
17:18Julia caught Perez.
17:19The post.
17:22Great teamwork out of Roxanne and Julia.
17:24Now EO Sky with a suicide dive.
17:30And Julia with a drop kick.
17:31Her body's everywhere.
17:35Wild action.
17:37Here in our main event.
17:38I'll tell you, Julia and Roxanne Perez absolutely have no fear of EO Sky and Rhea Ripley.
18:00Not at all.
18:00Trying to make their own name here.
18:02Full chaos on the outside leaves Julia standing tall.
18:05Yeah, Julia is so much fun to watch.
18:08Just has a natural charisma about her.
18:12She's as tough as they make them.
18:16EO Sky.
18:16And now, oh, and a chop to EO.
18:19And Julia just unloading on Sky.
18:23Chops and elbows to EO Sky.
18:26Julia turning up the physicality.
18:28Japanese strong style on display.
18:30As Julia drives Sky to the middle of the ring.
18:35Very comfortable in a fist fight is Julia.
18:37And again, that's that calm and confidence of Julia.
18:40Sky has to kick it too.
18:42Said it before.
18:43Both Julia and Roxanne Perez will be world champions on this level at one point in their career.
18:49I don't think there's any doubt about that.
18:51Everybody believes it.
18:52And I think even EO and Rhea potentially know that.
18:54Well, they knew they were going to be in for a fight tonight.
19:00EO Sky desperately needs a tag.
19:02Roxanne into a cover and a hook of the leg.
19:05And a kick out at two by the champion.
19:10Roxanne knew that probably wasn't going to be the end of the match.
19:12Just wanted to see where EO was.
19:14Two counts okay for them.
19:16Complete control, Roxanne and Julia.
19:20Roxanne extremely confident.
19:22Some would call egotistical.
19:24But she believes in herself.
19:25Which goes a long way as she delivers that running uppercut.
19:29Yeah, confidence is a big part of every business.
19:32And look at Perez.
19:35Into the side Russian leg sweep on Sky.
19:37Floats to the cover.
19:38Hooks the leg.
19:40And Egedio's got to kick it too.
19:42So clean there by Roxanne.
19:44Into the sidewalk slam.
19:47I talked to Booker T, the Hall of Famer.
19:50Of course, one of the voices of NXT.
19:51A couple of weeks ago about Roxanne.
19:54And I asked him what was it about her.
19:56And he said the first time he met her.
19:58He knew that she was going to be a star.
20:00Just something about her, the way she carried herself.
20:02How athletic she was in the ring.
20:04Just said it was going to take a number of years, obviously, to season and grow.
20:08Which Roxanne Perez has done.
20:12Some people have it, Cole.
20:13What?
20:14Oh!
20:21Roxanne Perez with a unique move here on EO Sky.
20:28Rhea desperately trying to get into the match.
20:32EO needs a tag.
20:34Julia and Roxanne have been in complete control.
20:37Snapmere by EO Sky.
20:39It separates a little bit.
20:40A little bit of separation.
20:41Roxanne trying to prevent EO from making the tag.
20:43Realizes they don't want Rhea in the ring.
20:45To no avail.
20:46Sky's almost there.
20:47Julia makes the tag.
20:50Julia's set out of the ring.
20:52EO gets Toria Ripley.
20:54Mommy's home!
20:58Well, I guess Julia didn't make the tag.
21:00Roxanne's still legal.
21:03Doesn't matter.
21:04Mommy's about to...
21:06Oh!
21:06Release German suplex by Ripley.
21:09Shop!
21:14Rhea Ripley.
21:15And there's the power of the eradicator.
21:18A one of one.
21:21Razor's edge is...
21:22She's had Perez almost fully across the ring.
21:25Files it up with a basement drop kick.
21:26Cover by Ripley.
21:28And a kick out of two by Perez.
21:30There you go.
21:31Rhea Ripley.
21:33Almost ending this thing as soon as she gets in.
21:37Razor's edge across the ring to Roxanne Perez.
21:40I have no idea how she kicked out of that.
21:42It was like Rhea Ripley was excited she could inflict more pain.
21:49And the Let's Go Mommy chance here tonight in Louisville.
21:52But Perez, just feisty.
21:53Just continues to fight back into this.
21:56Just put a left boot on the button.
21:57Yeah, but Perez may make her pay here.
21:59I should say Rhea may make Perez pay.
22:01And does, bouncing her off the top turnbuckle.
22:04Rhea's so explosive.
22:08Just one slight mistake, and Mommy's going to take advantage.
22:12Oh, not from up there.
22:20Dangerous position here for Roxanne Perez.
22:25Who lands on the apron, and then delivers a blow of her own.
22:29What a glancing blow, and then she delivers a solid shot to Rhea's jaw.
22:33Wow!
22:34Hurricane Rana.
22:35Roxanne Perez.
22:36Quickly into the cover.
22:37And I love that by Roxanne.
22:40No wasted motion.
22:41Went right for the cover there to try to put Rhea away.
22:43Yeah, kind of smothered Rhea as you have her down.
22:46Oh, headbutt by Julia.
22:48Kick to the face.
22:49Now the double team by Perez and Julia.
22:53Look at this.
22:54Tag made.
22:56Working in perfect unison.
22:58Julia and Roxanne.
22:59Off that snap suplex.
23:00Perez now.
23:01Off the second rope.
23:02Boots off.
23:02Delivered to Rhea.
23:03Cover now by Perez.
23:04Isn't it enough to put her away?
23:06And a kick out by Ripley.
23:07And what a main event debut it would be for this team if they could knock off Ripley and
23:11Skye tonight.
23:12Absolutely.
23:13Great tag team wrestling here by Julia and Roxanne.
23:15Beating down Rhea Ripley.
23:17Very rare that we see this.
23:19And again, this is a non-stop offense by Perez.
23:23She hasn't given Rhea Ripley any space to breathe.
23:25No time to breathe.
23:27Stay on her.
23:27If you have an advantage over Rhea Ripley, an advantage over Mami, you need to stay on
23:33her.
23:34Because we all know that Mami can flip the script.
23:38Now Roxanne focused on Ripley in the corner.
23:40A big running uppercut.
23:42Why did you roll through once another?
23:44This time Rhea Ripley able to pick her out of the sky and face first goes Perez.
23:49Rhea now trying to dig down deep and make it to the champ in the corner.
23:52Rhea with a desperation dump of Roxanne.
23:55EO Skye desperately wanting to get into the fight.
24:02Roxanne trying to make a tag to Julia.
24:05And does.
24:06Julia's legal.
24:07And so is EO Skye, the world champion.
24:09And the genius of the sky now looks to pick up the pace.
24:12With her right hand, such a clean uppercut.
24:17With a genius of the sky.
24:20Caught Julia.
24:23EO gonna go where she's comfortable, up to the top rope.
24:27Skye with a missile drop kick.
24:29The kip-up flip-up.
24:32EO Skye.
24:36Rhea goes with her.
24:42And Roxanne Perez tried to line-side EO, but...
24:47Oh!
24:48Down goes Rhea.
24:49What a DDT by Perez.
24:51Missing.
24:52I should say basement drop kick by Skye.
24:54Julia roll-up.
24:55They have her here.
24:56Shoulders down.
24:57Looking for the victory.
24:58Skye's got a kick.
24:58Julia.
25:05Looking to put EO Skye away.
25:08Middle of the ring.
25:10Skye able to counter into a waist lock.
25:14Standing switch by Julia.
25:16Skye rolls through.
25:17Stopped in the midsection.
25:20Great wrestling here from Julia and EO Skye.
25:25Where are we headed, Cole?
25:27Going to go up top.
25:29The genius in the sky.
25:30Ready to fly.
25:34Over the moonsault.
25:35Cover.
25:37Hook of the leg.
25:39Perez saves the matchup.
25:45Roxanne Perez now.
25:46Not the legal competitor.
25:50Not the legal competitor.
25:51But certainly enough to...
25:53Went for the side Russian leg sweep again.
25:56And Skye this time.
25:57Able to counter.
25:59Oh.
25:59Great backflip by EO Skye.
26:01And now a double-team.
26:02Rhea using EO as a battering ram.
26:05And EO's heels through Julia's chest.
26:12Roxanne was looking for Pop Rocks.
26:14And it didn't work out.
26:15EO Skye.
26:16Rock kick off the top rope.
26:19Jeez.
26:21So much damage being inflicted.
26:23We're a team.
26:26Let's do this together.
26:27Says EO and Rhea.
26:33Rhea to the apron.
26:34Say it!
26:36Yeah!
26:38EO Skye now.
26:39And there's Ripley taken out by Julia.
26:41We're about to see something special from Rhea and EO.
26:45EO trying to knock Perez away.
26:48She did successfully.
26:50Julia, though.
26:52Top rope's got EO hooked.
26:55Dangerous move here.
26:56From the top rope by Julia!
27:02So impressive.
27:07And Julia looking up at EO.
27:08Skye away!
27:10Power of Julia.
27:11Cover.
27:12Hook of the leg.
27:14Roxanne Perez.
27:16EO Ripley.
27:18EO Skye.
27:19Perez up from underneath the bottom rope.
27:21And now Roxanne with that missile drop kick to Rhea.
27:25And Rhea with a kick down to Perez.
27:27These four women are beating the hell out of each other.
27:30Yeah, tremendous tag team match tonight.
27:32Julia with a knee to Ripley.
27:36No idea who has the current advantage.
27:42Maybe EO Skye now off that backbreaker.
27:44It feels like EO Skye powered off the chance from Louisville.
27:53EO into the corner.
27:54Launched out to the apron by Julia.
27:59EO now going to climb to the top.
28:02Rhea makes the tag.
28:05Skye up over the top.
28:07Pull through.
28:08Rhea Ripley's legal.
28:09I don't think Julia realizes.
28:11And oh my goodness!
28:12Roxanne just took out Julia thanks to Ripley!
28:17And now yelling at Julia.
28:19Roxanne didn't realize what happened, but...
28:21Rhea Ripley outsmarted.
28:23Oh, what a headbutt.
28:26Clean headbutt to Julia from Mommy.
28:31Oh, and down goes Julia.
28:34Off.
28:35Rip time!
28:38Here are your winners!
28:42The team of the women's world champion,
28:46EO Skye!
28:47And Rhea Ripley!
28:53Well, Julia and Roxanne have nothing to be ashamed about tonight.
28:57They took the former world champ to the limit here tonight.
29:00But EO and Rhea just a little bit tougher in this matchup
29:05to pick up the victory in our main event.
29:06What a great main event we had.
29:08So much damage inflicted on both sides.
29:10Great tag team wrestling displayed.
29:12And in the end, Rhea and EO Skye
29:15outsmart Julia and Roxanne.
29:20Headbutt into the eradicator as EO Skye
29:23made sure Roxanne Perez
29:25couldn't interfere.
29:27Stacks up Julia.
29:30And Rip tied for the win.
29:37Rhea and EO make a great team here tonight.
29:40Well, make no mistake about it, Pat.
