00:00An explosive tag team matchup, as the high-flying LWO looks to pick up another viral moment
00:05with a victory against A-Town Down Under.
00:08Can LWO shut down the smack-talking duo, or will Austin Theory and Grayson Waller
00:12back up their trash talk with a win?
00:15We're going to find out next.
00:19Viva la raza!
00:21Time for some tag team action.
00:30The following contest is a tag team match.
00:37Pick up a one call.
00:39Introducing back the team of Cruz Pelotoros and Joaquin Rock, the LWO.
00:50Time to set it off here in the tag team division with two of Lucha Libre's finest
00:55as the culture and flavor are on full display as of late in the WWE.
00:59If you say that again, I think you need to get one of those hats that Joaquin Wilds wear.
01:03Maybe those pants that Cruz Pelotoros wear.
01:06They could get you all sort of ready for the summer.
01:08I know we've talked about me being a hat guy before.
01:10You think I could pull that off?
01:11I think you could, actually.
01:12That's probably one of the nicest things I've ever said about you.
01:15I don't know about the pants, though.
01:17I'll leave that up to you and your other hat.
01:22Money in the Bank is presented by Cash App.
01:25Put your money to work with Cash App.
01:29Well, that certainly was not the LWO.
01:52And your opponent, the team are Austin Peele and Grayson Waller.
02:06A-Town down 10-10.
02:09Sir Grayson Waller has something to say about that early entrance, but how about what we just witnessed there, Blake?
02:15Pretty interesting, certainly with A-Town down under as we go from the cool vibes of the LWO to, well, a different vibe for Therian Waller.
02:23Well, let's not forget it was Austin Therian had to face Sheamus several weeks ago on Raw because of Grayson Waller.
02:29Well, this upcoming Monday on Netflix, the Aussie icon takes on Sheamus in what will be not only a brawl.
02:37Now, Vic, is this Austin Therian trying to get one back here on this one?
02:41I don't necessarily know.
02:43I'm not going to speak up on that, but what I was going to say is that one will be a certified banger.
02:49As over the last few weeks, the former WWE Tag Team Champion certainly may be beating to a different drum.
02:55Grayson Waller will have a huge singles opportunity this coming Monday, but Therian are set for some tag team action.
03:00And, Vic, looking at the LWO here, how ready are they for June 7th, Los Angeles, and Worlds Collide?
03:06And they haven't stopped talking about the massive AAA announcement that happened over WrestleMania weekend.
03:11They are ready for Worlds Collide in Los Angeles, Money in the Bank weekend.
03:16The smooth criminal Joaquin Wilde getting the action going here early on, and can you imagine some of those dream matchups for Wilde and Del Toro?
03:23You know, I'm sure they have some concepts written up, some names that they want to cross off the list,
03:27but it certainly is going to be a very exciting weekend out in California.
03:32Grayson Waller pulling out some Lucha Libre right there, of course.
03:36Cruz Del Toro back in 2013, Joaquin Wilde back in 2009.
03:39Both competed in AAA, so it certainly could be a full circle moment for them.
03:43It certainly is.
03:44Look, they are well-traveled, honed their craft around the world right here in WWE,
03:49and looking for maybe what would be a statement win in a very crowded tag team division.
03:56Waller didn't want to make the tag.
03:57Looks like Austin Theory wanted to find himself into this matchup, be the fresh man in,
04:01but Grayson Waller wanted to give it another go, and the LWO remains in control.
04:04Cracks continuing to form.
04:07Not that I'm trying to stir the pot.
04:08Well, Grayson Waller, someone who certainly stirred the pot from NXT here all the way to Friday Night SmackDown and Monday Night Raw.
04:13Wow.
04:14And Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, some fine double teams right here.
04:17There's a Cabrata.
04:19There's a cover.
04:20Hooks the outside leg, only gets one.
04:22Vic, we talk about some of that Lucha Libre representation on Monday on Raw.
04:25Penta took on El Grande, rather, Chad Gable.
04:29Who did he face?
04:30He faced Chad Gable.
04:31Okay, so he faced Chad Gable.
04:32You know, you're just like Michael Cole.
04:33Michael Cole kept saying that.
04:35They're two different guys.
04:36They don't even look alike.
04:37Wait a minute.
04:38Are you trying to tell me you don't see any similarities?
04:40Nope.
04:41What I see is El Grande Americano, the greatest Luchador.
04:45Speaking of Luchador, right off the top of the splash.
04:47To come from the United States.
04:48And I see Chad Gable, someone who despises Luchadors.
04:52How can they be the same person?
04:54There's no qualities.
04:55There's no inner qualities.
04:56There's no outer qualities.
04:57Maybe we need to do more.
04:58You're the one stirring the pot right now.
05:01Focus on the matchup, Blake.
05:02Austin Theory finally into this matchup right now and taking full control.
05:06That was nice.
05:07Nice offensive maneuver right there.
05:09DeCruz del Toro only gets one.
05:11Break these two teams down.
05:12And specifically break down Theory and Waller for a second.
05:15Theory has had a better career to this point.
05:17And I'm just being blunt about that.
05:19He beat John Cena at WrestleMania.
05:21Youngest United States champion ever.
05:22There's been no singles titles for Grayson Waller.
05:26Who didn't even want to tag into the matchup to help out his partner.
05:29Certainly, Austin Theory a little bit more decorated in the singles ranks.
05:32But here comes Grayson Waller.
05:34Even Waller surprises me from time to time.
05:36Because del Toro doesn't realize Waller is legal.
05:40And Cruz del Toro trying to build some momentum.
05:42Twisting all through the air.
05:44But Grayson Waller here trying to pick up the pieces.
05:47Down goes Cruz del Toro.
05:49The LWO.
05:50Can they get back in this one here on Main Event?
05:53Good work.
05:53Good work.
05:55That's what I'm saying.
05:57Back here on Main Event.
05:58A-Town down under in control.
06:00I got to apologize to Waller.
06:01I said he wasn't looking out for his best interest.
06:03Oh, here we go.
06:03Nice counter.
06:04Cruz del Toro into the cover.
06:05Only two.
06:06But he made the tag.
06:07He came in and certainly has changed the complexion of this matchup.
06:10But this is something I won't apologize for.
06:12Grayson Waller always seems to throw Austin Theory under the bus.
06:15He did it when he had to face Sheamus.
06:17Of course, you know, Sheamus will face Waller this Monday on Raw.
06:19And that's just the latest in that theory.
06:23Indeed.
06:23No pun intended.
06:24Over the last few weeks, certainly doesn't look like they've been on the same page.
06:27And Waller very well could have been putting Theory in a bad light.
06:29And I mean, you can actually go back to NXT earlier this year.
06:33Indeed.
06:33It was a triple threat match against Obafemi at Vengeance Day.
06:36Were they on the same page?
06:37Were they not on the same page?
06:39No one could really tell.
06:40Were they changing the questions before the answers?
06:42Still no one could tell.
06:43What I do know, neither superstar walked out with the NXT title.
06:46And they certainly sometimes aren't on the same page.
06:49Another blind tag was made.
06:51As Austin Theory back in here.
06:52And Grayson Waller doesn't seem too happy about it.
06:54But A-Town down under remains in control.
06:56Hooks the outside leg.
06:57Only gets two here as Austin Theory.
06:59And Austin Theory trying to send a message right now to the LWO.
07:03And of course, Vic, we saw some of that tag team depth on the Raw side.
07:07With the former champs, the War Raiders and American Maid in action this past Monday.
07:10That was a cheap shot by Theory.
07:11And look, the tag team division on Raw is stacked.
07:14It's oof.
07:15It's crowded.
07:16You have to start separating yourself.
07:17And who's sitting on top of that mountain?
07:19The World Tag Team Champions.
07:20That being the New Day.
07:21They are looking down and they are laughing right now at everybody.
07:24Because they are looking down and seeing that everybody is scattering around.
07:27Which team on Raw, which squad, which unit, which duo will step up and seize a golden opportunity to face champions.
07:35We certainly know the War Raiders would love another opportunity there.
07:37A lot of other tag teams certainly lining up.
07:40And of course, you look at the SmackDown side.
07:42How about the arrival of Fraxion?
07:43Really shaking things up.
07:44Well, coming from NXT, I got to see them each and every week over the last few years.
07:48Let's redefine what it meant to be a tag team in NXT as champions.
07:53Here we go into the cover.
07:55Theory hooks the outside leg only, too.
07:56They bring speed.
07:58They bring excitement.
07:59And they bring an uncanny ability to always find a way to win.
08:02That's why I called them at a time the Houdinis of the tag team division in NXT.
08:07Indeed.
08:08And speaking of tag team matchups, a mammoth one coming up from the women's side from Raw.
08:12And that is up next here on Main Event.
08:14Well, it was quite a night on Monday.
08:17Talking about NXT, two upstarts.
08:19Roxanne Perez and Julia.
08:21But right here, right now, we got a big tag team match on hand.
08:24All four of these superstars coming from the NXT ranks at one point.
08:27And now looking to carve their niche here on Monday nights.
08:30As Cruz del Toro creating some separation there.
08:33Looks like a tag may have been made to Waller.
08:35But here comes the smooth criminal.
08:37I think you're right.
08:38Grayson Waller is the legal superstar for his team.
08:40And Joaquin Wilde starting to rock and roll right now, Vic.
08:44And Wilde, who's been looking for a lot of opportunity on Monday nights.
08:47Main Event, whatever it might be.
08:49Satellite DDT.
08:51Again, Waller, the legal man, to the outside.
08:55Oh!
08:56And look at the smooth moves of the smooth criminal.
09:02And Wilde calling out to Cruz del Toro.
09:06And Vic, it might be time to fly!
09:16Listen to this place, Blake.
09:18LWO getting ready for Worlds Collide here.
09:20Wiping out A-Town down under.
09:23We talk about the cloudy waters in the Raw Tag Team Division.
09:26A win here would certainly open up some opportunity.
09:28And for either team, as Wilde now.
09:31Able to shift his weight for a moment.
09:33Get back to his feet.
09:34I don't see Austin Theory anywhere around to help out Grayson Waller.
09:37Waller trying to get it done on his own right here.
09:39Out of the fireman's carry.
09:40Oh!
09:42And Joaquin Wilde!
09:43Oh!
09:44Ooh!
09:45Dropped!
09:46Right on the back of his neck!
09:48And Cruz del Toro breaks it up.
09:49And right now, oh, there's Austin Theory.
09:51Oh, Theory.
09:52Opportune time.
09:53Making his spot.
09:54Indeed he is.
09:55Just got caught with a superkick.
09:57We talk about Grayson Waller being an instigator.
09:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:59Trying to instigate a victory right here.
10:00There's a roll-up!
10:02Only two.
10:02Oh!
10:04And the foot meets the mouth.
10:07Right there from Joaquin Wilde to Grayson Waller.
10:10Now Wilde looking to go right at home.
10:12Never met a risk.
10:13He didn't want to take.
10:15Goes for the moonsault.
10:18And now LWO finding themselves inside the ring.
10:21Oh!
10:22Look at that combination offense.
10:23In unison!
10:24And A-Town Down Under is back off track.
10:29Here are your winners!
10:31A-Town Down Under!
10:35Look, I question cracks being formed.
10:37But in the end, these two were able to get on the same page to pick up the victory here on Main Event.
10:45Blake, let's go back with some of the action.
10:47We indeed saw some potential dissension, some fractures.
10:49But on the same page right here.
10:51Theory and Waller in unison.
10:53And just like that, A-Town Down Under.
10:56Picks up a huge win.
10:57Knocking off the LWO.
10:59And now as Theory and Waller.
11:01Don't look like they're on the same page once again.
11:05As Grayson Waller.
11:07Going to get the last laugh here of the WWE Universe.
11:11The LWO looks to fight another day.
11:13But A-Town Down Under will get the last laugh here on Main Event.
