00:00:00You see, not only did y'all bring truth back.
00:00:04You got me.
00:00:11Now, we all love R-Truth.
00:00:18I love R-Truth too.
00:00:22But R-Truth can be too funny all the time.
00:00:27R-Truth can be too nice and he's too forgiving.
00:00:37Not me.
00:00:40I wish you would.
00:00:46I feel different.
00:00:50I feel alive.
00:00:57And for any of you that thinks I'm a lie,
00:01:02you think I'm some sideshow act?
00:01:06You think I'm a gimmick?
00:01:07I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:17I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:20I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:29I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:32I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:33I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:43I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:46I feel like I'm a gimmick.
00:01:50R-Truth, the truth has set me free.
00:02:06I am Ron Killings.
00:02:12I am the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:02:18Now, put some respect on my name.
00:02:45Hey, buddy, you good?
00:02:46CCO.
00:02:46What's up, pal?
00:02:47Hey, uh, I just wanted to ask you.
00:02:51Do you think it was a little bit strange that you got put in the King of the Ring tournament?
00:02:55Well, you know, you had your shot at Money in the Bank, and that didn't work out.
00:03:00Um, so I didn't think you'd mind me representing the Judgment Day in the King of the Ring tournament.
00:03:04Are you upset?
00:03:05Upset?
00:03:06Of course I'm not upset.
00:03:07I'm rooting for you, mate.
00:03:08You're going to do great.
00:03:09Cool.
00:03:09Why would you be upset?
00:03:10You're going to win the King of the Ring, and we're going to go after the TIE team titles, right?
00:03:13Exactly.
00:03:14Everything's working out perfectly.
00:03:17Speaking of, congratulations.
00:03:19You done great out there tonight.
00:03:21Let her know.
00:03:22Let her know.
00:03:23Good job.
00:03:24Let her know.
00:03:25Let her know.
00:03:26Yeah, I watched.
00:03:27It was pretty good.
00:03:28Good job.
00:03:34What's everyone celebrating?
00:03:36I have a match.
00:03:38Yeah, no one should be celebrating a theme.
00:03:41Liv, I helped you out.
00:03:43I stopped Kyrie from pinning you.
00:03:47Is that what you did?
00:03:50Congrats, then.
00:03:52Hmph.
00:03:52Hey, uh, don't worry about her.
00:03:58She'd be fine.
00:03:59Maybe you should go talk to Liv.
00:04:01Yeah, I, I got a match, but I'm going to, I got to go.
00:04:07Or not.
00:04:12Well, Roxanne, I guess, did prevent Kyrie from pinning Liv.
00:04:22The following Fatal 4-Way is a first round match in the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:04:46It's in the same class, for me, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos, PENTA!
00:04:58The man who has taken the world by stealth, PENTA, in a Fatal 4-Way to advance in the King of the Rings Tournament.
00:05:06PENTA's live next.
00:05:08This is most of the WWE Universe's first opportunity to get eyes on Mr. Iguana.
00:05:23Perhaps the most unique athlete in Lucha Libre today.
00:05:28Mr. Iguana reminding the world that he is an athlete to be taken seriously.
00:05:32Even if he does have an unusual relationship with these stuffed animals.
00:05:45Boys, in the future I see,
00:05:51we have money in the bank, king of the ring.
00:05:57This is an all-out assault on both recognized world championships.
00:06:09Whether we take those by victory or we take them by heists.
00:06:19Absolute power will be ours.
00:06:25Ooh!
00:06:37Well, Seth Rollins with his marching orders to Braun Breaker,
00:06:40who will be a part of this Fatal 4-Way match tonight.
00:06:45First round of the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:06:48Dominic Mysterio and PENTA have had a history,
00:06:50and they're in the ring right now.
00:06:52Welcome back to Canada.
00:06:54Let's go!
00:06:55Let's go!
00:06:56Let's go!
00:07:02Let's go!
00:07:03Let's go!
00:07:08From Montreal, to Canada.
00:07:10Wiggy, at 212 pounds,
00:07:14Sami Zayn!
00:07:19Sami Zayn looking to move one step further in the King of the Ring tournament.
00:07:25Well, following an eventful weekend for both WWE and UFC, get yourself a UFC 316 team.
00:07:49Available now on wweshop.com.
00:07:52Can I get a hell yeah!
00:07:55You're supposed to go, hell yeah.
00:07:57If Stone Cold had have said it and furnished me with one of his beers, I would have absolutely
00:08:02said it, hell yeah!
00:08:03You on the other hand, you don't deserve it.
00:08:06A couple of Stone Cold beers the other night.
00:08:08Yes, we did.
00:08:25But if I fade away, and the chill cold, we might find somebody sharp.
00:08:32The company fights WWE, all the favorite, the wise man called Amen.
00:08:37From Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 250 pounds, Braun Breaker!
00:08:44So for the 24th time, we start a tournament to crown the King of the Ring.
00:08:51The very first King of the Ring back in 1985, none other than Don Morocco.
00:08:58And this is what being King of the Ring means for your career.
00:09:05Ten winners have gone on to become world champions.
00:09:06Twelve are now Hall of Famers.
00:09:07Fred Hart won this King of the Ring tournament on two different occasions.
00:09:08And of course, Wade, you were once King of the Ring.
00:09:10Yeah, but I'll say, this day and age, this current era, the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament
00:09:12are even better because you get the average winner of the King of the Ring.
00:09:13The very first King of the Ring back in 1985, none other than Don Morocco.
00:09:15And this is what being King of the Ring, Wade, means for your career.
00:09:20Ten winners have gone on to become world champions.
00:09:23Twelve are now Hall of Famers.
00:09:25Fred Hart won this King of the Ring tournament on two different occasions.
00:09:29And of course, Wade, you were once King of the Ring.
00:09:32Yeah, but I'll say, this day and age, this current era, the King and Queen of the Ring Tournament
00:09:36are even better because you get the added bonus of that championship opportunity.
00:09:43What a deal and sweetener it really is.
00:09:45The stakes right now cannot be higher.
00:09:48Qualify at all costs.
00:09:50Made a four-way match, first man again, pinball or submission will win this matchup.
00:09:53No disqualification, no countout.
00:09:55We saw Roxanne Perez advance to the Queen of the Ring earlier tonight.
00:09:58There's the throw by Braun Breaker, who knows Sami Zayn very well.
00:10:01They battled three times for the Intercontinental title.
00:10:04Oh, that's ludicrous power, shouldn't be allowed.
00:10:07Oh!
00:10:08But everything is ludicrous when it comes to Braun Breaker.
00:10:11What a few days Braun Breaker's had.
00:10:13Wrecked Chopper, SmackDown Wrecked Chopper.
00:10:15Oh!
00:10:16And he turns Dom inside out.
00:10:18He's back and he's like a tornado in a cold field already in this match.
00:10:22Yeah, what a pick for Seth Rollins to have Braun Breaker join his team.
00:10:26Braun Breaker dominate most of this fatal four-way matchup.
00:10:37Got a little cocky and Sami Zayn made him pay.
00:10:40And now Penta starting to take control.
00:10:42Braun Breaker has his marching orders from Seth Rollins.
00:10:46Absolute battle!
00:10:48That is what we are looking for.
00:10:51Seth Rollins got a massive slice of that with the money in the bank briefcase.
00:10:55And winning this tournament would certainly help Braun Breaker's crew in the process.
00:10:59Well, Rollins made it clear that both recognized world titles are going to be the victim of an all-out assault by Rollins and company,
00:11:09whether it be by victory or heist.
00:11:11Yeah, you can figure out the details later.
00:11:13The key right now for Breaker and crew is to control all of the chess pieces.
00:11:18Keep your options open and win this tournament.
00:11:21Get the rights to that championship match as and when you feel like it.
00:11:25And hopefully Seth Rollins, for his piece, cashes in successfully too.
00:11:29Now this is a good strategy.
00:11:31The three men, Penta, Dominic, and Sami Zayn, seem to be directing.
00:11:35Yes, they are. Directing their hostilities toward Braun Breaker.
00:11:38And this is wise here to try to take on the man who's been dominating the match.
00:11:42We saw it early.
00:11:43Oh, Dominic from behind!
00:11:44Sneaky Dominic Mysterio almost steals one.
00:11:47Well, sneaky is what you have to be here.
00:11:48We saw it early with Rhea Ripley.
00:11:50Everyone took her down and then the sneaky Roxanne Perez.
00:11:53Perhaps charging Dominic, charging dirty thumb up with chicken tendies before this match.
00:11:59So I wonder what Liv Morgan thinks about Roxanne already rubbing off on Dom.
00:12:03Penta to the chest of Mysterio.
00:12:06That's like caving in a bird's chest.
00:12:08Cover, hook to the leg now and a kick out at two.
00:12:12Dirty Dom clinging onto this matchup at this point.
00:12:16All the momentum now in the favor of the luchador Penta,
00:12:20who took massive amounts of abuse just two days ago in the Money in the Bank match.
00:12:24Sami looked like he was going for the blue thunder bomb and Penta able to block.
00:12:28I'll tell you right now, we've seen very little of Sami Zayn so far in this match.
00:12:31That might be about to change.
00:12:33Yeah, but let's not forget Sami Zayn's the one who turned this match around when he took out Breaker.
00:12:37Tornado DDT.
00:12:38Cover!
00:12:39Dominic saving the matchup.
00:12:40Yeah, and Sami Zayn also has those bedroom wilds.
00:12:43Knows not to burn himself out too easy in a matchup like this.
00:12:47Save some energy for those latter stages.
00:12:50Stay alert and make sure you can hit that fifth gear at the right time.
00:12:53And again, Dominic Mysterio, Braun Breaker were part, along with Penta,
00:12:58were part of that fatal four-way match at WrestleMania,
00:13:01where Dominic would swoop in and steal the victory,
00:13:04pending his Judgment Day buddy Finn Balor to take the title from Braun Breaker.
00:13:08And Breaker, now look at the power!
00:13:10I mean, talk about wrestling! Sami Zayn down on the mat!
00:13:13And now the pounding ground from Braun Breaker, who's ticked off now!
00:13:16Yeah, technique, power, and a mean streak a mile wide.
00:13:20Now with the guidance of Paul Heyman, how can you possibly fail?
00:13:25You guys actually like this bomb!
00:13:27Woo!
00:13:28And again, Breaker talking trash.
00:13:31Talk all the trash you want when you get so much power and leverage over your opponent
00:13:36like Braun has over Sami Zayn right now.
00:13:39Who you are!
00:13:41Ooh!
00:13:42Body shot by Breaker.
00:13:44Breaker, a former two-time Intercontinental Champion, two-time NXT Champion.
00:13:50Again, we've said it before.
00:13:51Man, what a steal for Seth Rollins to get his claws hooked into Braun Breaker and bring him aboard.
00:13:58Top pick right there!
00:14:01A thunder cloud that cannot be tracked!
00:14:04And hits like a sledgehammer!
00:14:06Sami Zayn's slap, and now four arms have a very little effect on Breaker
00:14:10as the unpredictable badass is taken into Sami Zayn here.
00:14:14Add granite jaw to all his other attributes that seem to grow week by week!
00:14:19Oh, Breaker up over the top, lands on the floor.
00:14:21He'll just move smart, move quickly when you're around Braun Breaker.
00:14:26It might be the only advantage you can find over in Sami Zayn.
00:14:29Top rope, moonsault.
00:14:30Breaker's taken down.
00:14:31And with Breaker down, perhaps somebody needs to start making things happen in the ring.
00:14:36And it may be Penta!
00:14:38The high-flying luchador takes out Sami Zayn!
00:14:42Three bodies down at ringside.
00:14:44Dominic, suicide dive, and turns it into a DDT on Penta!
00:14:49Tremendous by Dominic!
00:14:50Dominic may want to turn around and stop flexing!
00:14:53Oh my goodness, he may break Dominic in half!
00:14:56Flipping from the apron!
00:14:58About Kalaxi, Dominic here!
00:15:02Breaker, Dominic, Sami, Penta!
00:15:05Everybody's down in the King of the Ring!
00:15:12Braun Breaker's got Sami Zayn in trouble in the corner.
00:15:15Dominic Mysterio trying to come to at ringside.
00:15:18Penta trying to come to as well.
00:15:20Fatal four-way match to determine who'll get to the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament.
00:15:24Trading with Braun Breaker rarely works! Somehow Sami Zayn came off the batter!
00:15:30But of course, immediately there to pounce Dirty Dom!
00:15:33And Impenta as well!
00:15:35Impenta now with Dirty Dom up top!
00:15:39Running Powerbomb!
00:15:41Breaker now up to the top!
00:15:43McAvee will call this to Frankensteiner!
00:15:46What cannot Braun Breaker do?
00:15:51He can do everything!
00:15:53Moves like a cruiserweight!
00:15:56Hits like a breeze block!
00:16:02I'm just looking at the skin of Braun Breaker.
00:16:04He hasn't even broken sweat here!
00:16:06Hit it off!
00:16:12Hit it off!
00:16:13Ye świ hall他們!
00:16:15Paul Hayman barking orders to Breaker.
00:16:17Remember, first man in the game.
00:16:18Pint-원이 submission wins!
00:16:22Already tonight in the Queen of the Rings side of things,

00:23:09and there are a lot of incredible teams here on raw
00:23:13but in our opinion they're all in the middle of the pack
00:23:15we're looking for that clear front runner that number one contender
00:23:19we have way too much respect for these titles to defend them against just anybody
00:23:23because y'all keep them in the driveway
00:23:25we keep them in the garage

00:28:10i missed you guys i missed you i missed you all a lot i know thank you so
00:28:18So, thank you.
00:28:22So I'm here to talk about something very, very special that's happening next month.
00:28:27I think you all know what I'm about to talk about, right?
00:28:31That's right.
00:28:31So it's been many years, but next month WWE is holding an all-women premium
00:28:38live event in Atlanta, WWE Evolution, yes.
00:28:45Now, I remember main event in the very first one, and
00:28:51it has been so incredible to see where the women's division is at since then.
00:28:56I mean, the talent, the stars, you have Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Io Sky.
00:29:01And let's talk about these newcomers, Roxanne Perez,
00:29:07Stephanie Vaque, right?
00:29:10Julia, I mean, there is so much talent in that female locker room.
00:29:15It is insane.
00:29:17And I know that I could speak on behalf of all the women of the past.
00:29:21But we couldn't be prouder.
00:29:23We couldn't be more grateful where the women are at now in this division.
00:29:27Just so proud.
00:29:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, cut my music, cut my music.
00:29:36Nikki, if you're talking about the best women in this division,
00:29:39you better make sure you mention Liv Morgan.
00:29:42First of all, Liv, I didn't mean to.
00:29:46That was not intentional.
00:29:47You didn't mean it like that.
00:29:48Well, too late, because I am the most talented woman in this division.
00:29:54And I have proven it again and again and again.
00:29:58I was women's world champion all of last year.
00:30:01I am the first and only women's crown jewel champion.
00:30:05And I am breaking records as a women's tag team champion.
00:30:10But you know what, Nikki?
00:30:14You're lucky.
00:30:16You're lucky I wasn't around during your career,
00:30:19because I would have been champion and beaten you then, too.
00:30:25But you know what, as I'm talking, I realize, I realize why you didn't mention me.
00:30:30You didn't mention me because you're jealous of me.
00:30:38You're jealous of me because I have everything that you don't.
00:30:45I have respect.
00:30:46I have a championship.
00:30:51And I have a man.
00:31:09You know what, Liv?
00:31:10Hey, hey, you know, I get it.
00:31:12I get it.
00:31:13You lost tonight.
00:31:14You're angry.
00:31:15I don't blame you.
00:31:18Okay, it's a bad night for you, right?
00:31:20But you know, speaking of your man, I'm just trying to figure out who he belongs to.
00:31:28Is it you or Roxanne Perez?
00:31:33I'm confused.
00:31:34But you know what, Liv?
00:31:38If you could do me a favor, can you congratulate her for me for taking your title shot and your man?
00:31:45You know what, you know what, Nicky?
00:31:48You can say whatever you want because I'm still a champion, and all you'll ever be is a reality show diva.
00:32:00Well, Nicky heard enough, and Liv, though, hits her in the oblivion.
00:32:13I don't care anymore, Nicky, this is my division.
00:32:17It's called an unwelcome back from Liv Morgan.
00:32:23Well, what I call for is uncalled for.
00:32:27I mean, Liv's under a lot of pressure and stress, obviously, with everything that she's got going on,
00:32:32but that is no way to interrupt and treat a Hall of Famer in Nicky Bella.
00:32:36Well, the ring is a dangerous place.
00:32:38You come back to WWE, you can't just get a round of applause, expect some action, Nicky Bella.
00:32:43Well, ladies and gentlemen, we kicked off the night tonight with CM Punk interrupting John Cena's retirement tour.
00:32:52By my count, after tonight, you've got 18 dates left.
00:32:57Of what little respect I had for you,
00:33:00I'll leave it up to you as to which one of those dates I take this off your shoulder.
00:33:07Match like this,
00:33:09you're going to follow me to Saudi Arabia.
00:33:16And we're going to do it at Night of Champions.
00:33:21Ball's in your court, hero.
00:33:24You want a title match,
00:33:26it's going to be at Night of Champions.
00:33:28What do you say?
00:33:30Our general manager, Adam Pearce, has made it official.
00:33:36It'll take place two weeks from Saturday.
00:33:38Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:33:39At Night of Champions, the renewal of a rivalry.
00:33:43These two last met 13 years ago.
00:33:46John Cena, CM Punk.
00:33:48Night of Champions for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:33:52Well, speaking of championships, the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line next in our main event here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:34:06A lot has been made about the shape that our champion main event, Jey Uso, is going to be in here tonight.
00:34:11Gunther claims Jey Uso is spreading himself thin.
00:34:14That could be the case, Wade.
00:34:16Last week on Monday Night Raw,
00:34:17he got involved in, well, he paid for it by Seth and company.
00:34:21It's about the, exactly what you would expect messing with the power trio of Seth, Bronson Reed, and Braun Breaker.
00:34:28Massive tsunami.
00:34:29Tsunami, no one's ribs feel good after that, but followed it up at SmackDown, getting sucker punched by Logan Paul,
00:34:39and then AA'd by John Cena.
00:34:42This was just three days ago, last Friday, and a massive frog splash to boot,
00:34:47and then 24 hours after this, at Money in the Bank, this devastating moonsault through our announce test from Logan Paul.
00:34:57So, pretty much the worst prep week possible ahead of tonight's showdown with Gunther for the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:35:04Yeah, but that's just the past seven days, Wade.
00:35:07Jey Uso's been going nonstop since he beat this man back in April at WrestleMania.
00:35:12Welcome to being World Heavyweight Champion, Jey.
00:35:16Something this man knows a thing or two about.
00:35:18For the ring general, Gunther, an opportunity to write what he believes is a RAW.
00:35:29He lost to Uso at WrestleMania.
00:35:31Gunther tonight, hoping to regain his World Heavyweight title.
00:35:35For our main event, the 21st time this city has hosted Monday Night Raw,
00:35:46and tonight the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line.
00:35:50Main event, Jey Uso defending the title against the man that he beat at WrestleMania,
00:35:55the ring general, Gunther.
00:35:57He was the world champ for 259 days.
00:36:01The Intercontinental Champion for 666 days.
00:36:05The NXT UK Champion for 870 days.
00:36:09All this man knows how to do is win.
00:36:12Green landing, man knows how to do is win.
00:36:24Green, Green, Green, Green, Green, Green versuchen,
00:36:29the Americanπου etapa Bachelor in Japan.
00:36:35News,37!
00:36:36News,37!
00:36:37News,37!
00:36:37News,37!
00:36:38News,rice!
00:36:39News,37!
00:36:40Music resolution!
00:36:40Oh, yeah!
00:36:41Jey Uso with his son
00:36:47Supporting him here tonight
00:36:50Moments ago, Wade, you probably gave me the best advice of my career
00:36:55I think he gave a lot of good advice, but yeah, that was particularly good
00:37:00And Wade warned me
00:37:01Perhaps I should not yeet with the world champion tonight
00:37:06Because of the man who's in the ring, Gunther
00:37:07And I'm going to heed that advice tonight
00:37:09Just let the audience do it for you
00:37:12Let them take all of the risk
00:37:14And this kind of buy-in from an audience is something you cannot manufacture
00:37:20They love this man, they believe in this man
00:37:23And they are going to power this man to victory
00:37:27With everything in their souls tonight
00:37:30Will it be successful?
00:37:32Will it be enough?
00:37:34To overcome the surely broken body of the champ
00:37:40Keep that arm down, Michael Cole
00:37:46You can see it twitching
00:37:48Meanwhile, the challenger, Gunther, seems extremely unfazed in the ring
00:38:03As Jey Uso makes his way to ringside
00:38:07I'll tell you, the quiet sting of failure lingers longer than any punch or kick
00:38:14When it comes to the ring general
00:38:17And he gets a chance to finally rid his body of that sting
00:38:22Right now
00:38:24Come on champ, do it tonight
00:38:28Jey Uso cannot be anywhere near 100%
00:38:35I saw Jey earlier today, smile on his face
00:38:38Said he was ready to go
00:38:40Said he's not going to let anything get in the way of him holding on to this world heavyweight championship tonight
00:38:46But Wade, we showed just a small sample of what Jey Uso and the punishment he's taken over the past couple of weeks here at WWE
00:38:54There's no way Jey is 100% tonight
00:38:58I agree with you completely
00:38:59Over that run from winning the Royal Rumble all the way to Wrestlemania
00:39:03Jey Uso had to develop an unbreakable spirit
00:39:07He still has that
00:39:09What you cannot develop is an unbreakable body
00:39:13And I think half the job is already done for Gunther here
00:39:16That's the problem for Jey Uso tonight
00:39:18You mentioned Gunther's relatively fresh
00:39:21He's only had one match since Wrestlemania
00:39:23That's a battle against Pat McAfee
00:39:25Back at Backlash in May
00:39:27The road to redemption since Wrestlemania 41
00:39:31Has certainly not been straight for the Gunther
00:39:35But it has been relentless
00:39:37And it's all been about tonight
00:39:40Had that detour with McAfee
00:39:42But now normal business is intended to resume here on Raw
00:39:48Again, I love it
00:39:49I love the enthusiasm
00:39:51I love the playing with the WWE fans here tonight
00:39:54But the bottom line is this
00:39:55As all this is going on
00:39:57Gunther, the killer
00:39:59The former champ
00:40:00Hasn't taken his eyes off Jey Uso
00:40:03Let's head up to the ring
00:40:07And our ring announcer
00:40:08The great Alicia Taylor
00:40:10The following contest scheduled for one call
00:40:19Is for the World Heavyweight Championship
00:40:26Introducing first
00:40:33The challenger
00:40:35From Vienna, Austria
00:40:38Weighing in
00:40:41At 250 pounds
00:40:45The ring general
00:40:48Gunther
00:40:52And his opponent
00:41:02From San Francisco, California
00:41:09Weighing in
00:41:12At 242 pounds
00:41:15He is
00:41:16The World Heavyweight Champion
00:41:21Main event
00:41:26Jey Uso
00:41:29This is the fifth time
00:41:34That Jey Uso and Gunther
00:41:36Have gone one-on-one
00:41:37Gunther owns an edge of 3-1
00:41:40He's also eliminated Jey Uso
00:41:43Back in the Royal Rumble in 2024
00:41:46At WrestleMania
00:41:47Jey Uso
00:41:49Tapped out Gunther
00:41:51To win his first ever World Championship
00:41:54It was the first time in almost four years
00:41:57Since Gunther submitted in a matchup
00:42:00Tonight
00:42:01Gunther Uso
00:42:02For the world title
00:42:04The rematch
00:42:05The world has been salivating for
00:42:08Well, it's all ours tonight
00:42:11And Uso
00:42:14And Gunther
00:42:15Staring across the ring at one another
00:42:18You're the champion, Wade
00:42:20James
00:42:20So
00:42:20How do you pull off
00:42:22If many would consider a miracle
00:42:24Again tonight
00:42:25Well, you've done it once before
00:42:27You did it at WrestleMania
00:42:28You know you are capable of it
00:42:31But does lightning really strike twice?
00:42:35I'm not so sure
00:42:36And this is an even more motivated Gunther
00:42:40Than he has been previously
00:42:42Yeah, but Jey Uso going
00:42:43Jey Uso going for the sleeper
00:42:44The choke that he
00:42:45He got Gunther to tap out at WrestleMania
00:42:47Yeah, and that's a big piece
00:42:50Of the embarrassment for Gunther
00:42:51He was outclassed at WrestleMania
00:42:53By Jey Uso
00:42:55Beaten with his own move
00:42:56And tonight it's Jey Uso
00:42:58With the advantage
00:42:58The champion's advantage
00:42:59Again, sleeper locked in
00:43:01And Gunther has to sling him away
00:43:03Well, that perhaps was the best shot
00:43:05For Jey Uso
00:43:06Trying to end this as quickly as possible
00:43:08Gunther has to regroup
00:43:09Well, during moments ago
00:43:18Jey Uso was dominating this matchup
00:43:20But Gunther tried to turn it around quickly
00:43:22Jey though
00:43:22Able to send it back to the center of the ring
00:43:24And now the champion
00:43:25Top rope
00:43:26Jey Uso
00:43:27Lost body
00:43:28Here's the cover
00:43:29Hook to the leg
00:43:30And a kick out
00:43:31And you see Jey Uso
00:43:33Favoring his midsection
00:43:34As he delivered
00:43:36That cross body weight
00:43:38And again
00:43:39There's been a lot of rumors
00:43:41Flying around
00:43:41And we talked about this Saturday
00:43:43Internal injuries
00:43:45Rib injuries
00:43:46Perhaps to Jey Uso
00:43:47From the tsunamis last week
00:43:49From the Ase-i moonsault
00:43:51This past Saturday
00:43:51You see the smile on Gunther's face
00:43:53He realizes that there is a problem now with Uso
00:43:56And can he take advantage
00:43:58I just ate your best shot Jey
00:44:00And it hurt you
00:44:01More than it hurt me
00:44:03And now Gunther realizing that
00:44:05He is an injured champion here
00:44:07And the big grin across the face
00:44:09Of the ring general
00:44:10Who is now targeting the ribs of Uso
00:44:12Who has doubled over in pain
00:44:14Well Gunther has just gone
00:44:16From sluggish
00:44:18To savage
00:44:19In the blink of an eye
00:44:20I mean Jey Uso
00:44:21Was actually dominating
00:44:23At the start of this matchup
00:44:24Had Gunther all in a source
00:44:25And there it is
00:44:26You see the heavily taped midsection
00:44:29Of Jey Uso
00:44:30We talked about the tsunami
00:44:31We talked about the Ase-i moonsault
00:44:33Obviously some serious injury issues
00:44:36For Jey Uso here
00:44:37And Gunther now
00:44:38Like a shark to blood
00:44:40Attacking the champion
00:44:41Well the way this is going right now
00:44:43The only thing Jey Uso
00:44:44Is going to have around his waist
00:44:47When he leaves
00:44:47Is that bandage
00:44:48Certainly not
00:44:50The World Heavyweight Championship
00:44:51Gunther looked like
00:44:52He has been presented a gift
00:44:54A massive gift
00:44:56And now stomping away again
00:44:59At the midsection of Uso
00:45:01Just an injection of belief
00:45:04For the reign general
00:45:06Whatever fragility there was
00:45:09In his ego
00:45:09Has gone away now
00:45:10It's galvanized
00:45:11Well Gunther had made a
00:45:13Made a point over the
00:45:14The past couple of weeks
00:45:15In a six bucks again
00:45:17Gunther had made a point
00:45:18The past few weeks
00:45:19That Jey Uso
00:45:20Was wearing himself thin
00:45:22I'll tell you right now
00:45:24My opinion was Michael
00:45:25That Jey Uso
00:45:27Should absolutely have declined
00:45:29The tag match
00:45:30At Money in the Bank
00:45:32Sorry Cody
00:45:33You're on your own
00:45:34Yeah but that's not what
00:45:34Jey Uso's all about
00:45:35I've got to put the title first
00:45:36Well that's fine not being about that
00:45:38I would be about retaining
00:45:39My championship
00:45:40Above and beyond anything else
00:45:42And now ripping that
00:45:43Protective tape away
00:45:44From the midsection of Jey Uso
00:45:46Extremely vulnerable now
00:45:48In this match
00:45:49And things have become
00:45:50Very dire
00:45:51For the world champion
00:45:53As Gunther delivers
00:45:55A knee right to the ribs
00:45:56Epic start from Jey Uso
00:45:58Has now turned in
00:46:00To a battle
00:46:01For survival
00:46:02And it's what
00:46:04Jey is losing dismally
00:46:05This all began
00:46:07When Jey Uso
00:46:08Hit a cross body
00:46:09On Gunther
00:46:10Injuring his midsection
00:46:12Gunther realized
00:46:13That was hurt
00:46:14And now
00:46:15He has begun the attack
00:46:17Well Jey should have
00:46:18Avoided that particular move
00:46:20Like the plague
00:46:21But it's instinct
00:46:22It's adrenaline
00:46:23It's staring across
00:46:24At Gunther
00:46:25And thinking
00:46:25I better move quicker
00:46:26Or he's gonna hit me
00:46:27And Jey hit a move
00:46:28He should never have
00:46:29Pulled out
00:46:30With those damaged ribs
00:46:31WWE fans here in Phoenix
00:46:36Tonight trying to rally
00:46:37The champion
00:46:37Jey sent across the ring
00:46:39Into the turnbuckle
00:46:41Again
00:46:42Doubling over in pain
00:46:44Gunther though
00:46:45Uso able to sidestep
00:46:46Jey looking to rally
00:46:47Looking for the sleeper
00:46:48He knows he's gotta end
00:46:49This quick
00:46:49Uso trying to
00:46:51End it the way
00:46:52That he won at Wrestlemania
00:46:53But Gunther makes it
00:46:54To the ropes
00:46:55Jey Uso though
00:46:56Nice German suplex
00:46:57By Jey
00:46:58Oh it's straight back
00:46:59To the ribs of Jey Uso
00:47:00That sleeper
00:47:01Is about the best move
00:47:03He's got
00:47:03Very little rib impact
00:47:05When you're applying
00:47:06A sleeper
00:47:07But a German suplex
00:47:08A splash
00:47:09The amount of torque
00:47:10On your midsection
00:47:11Well if he delivers
00:47:12A spear
00:47:13That's gonna jar him
00:47:14As well
00:47:14And that's what Jey's
00:47:15Trying to do here
00:47:15Gunther though
00:47:16Catches him
00:47:17In the sleeper
00:47:19Because Jey just
00:47:20Wasn't quick enough
00:47:20He hasn't got the power
00:47:21To accelerate
00:47:22That's Pat McAfee
00:47:24About that sleeper
00:47:25By Gunther
00:47:25Jey Uso
00:47:26Went for the suicide dive
00:47:28And Gunther caught him
00:47:29With a right hand
00:47:29As Jey just collapses
00:47:31Out to the apron
00:47:32But maybe Gunther
00:47:33Would've got him anyway
00:47:34But I'm telling you
00:47:35Jey Uso's speed
00:47:36Is just a
00:47:37He's got some power
00:47:39Left in him
00:47:40Yeah Gunther now
00:47:41Head first into the steel
00:47:42Posting
00:47:43Gunther
00:47:43Oh and a German suplex
00:47:45Outside the ring
00:47:45On the floor
00:47:46Yeah a release
00:47:47German onto that
00:47:48Lower back too
00:47:49So it's all in the favor
00:47:50Of Gunther now
00:47:51And we're
00:47:56World Heavyweight Championship
00:47:58Gunther
00:47:58And Uso
00:48:00Gunther dominating
00:48:01Uso with injured ribs
00:48:02Looking to somehow rally
00:48:03In this match
00:48:05Blocked there
00:48:06Jey really is clinging on here
00:48:10I'm astounded
00:48:11He even got Gunther halfway up
00:48:12There's a massive frame
00:48:13And look at Jey Uso
00:48:14Almost had him
00:48:15Gunther though
00:48:16Back lands on his knee
00:48:18A third time
00:48:19For Jey Uso
00:48:20He's got Gunther
00:48:21And run it for suplex
00:48:22Jey with the landing
00:48:25Hurting his own ribs
00:48:27In the process again
00:48:28You're so limited
00:48:30In the offense
00:48:30You can throw
00:48:31Without hurting those ribs
00:48:33And when instinct kicks in
00:48:34And of course
00:48:35Against Gunther
00:48:36You don't get many options
00:48:37Anyway
00:48:37You have to take
00:48:38What's there
00:48:39But it's backfired
00:48:41Again for Jey Uso
00:48:42In a problem Wade
00:48:43Is a slow pace
00:48:44Helps Gunther
00:48:45The ring general
00:48:46Jey has to pick up the pace
00:48:47But Kenny
00:48:48With the injured ribs
00:48:49The longer it goes on
00:48:51The more the swelling
00:48:52Grows in those ribs
00:48:53The more painful it gets
00:48:56The more your body
00:48:57Seizes up
00:48:58And the more you need
00:49:00These people
00:49:00Yeating you to victory
00:49:03And now
00:49:05Exchange
00:49:05He blows
00:49:06Center of the ring
00:49:07Champion Uso
00:49:08Challenger Gunther
00:49:09And now Jey Uso
00:49:10Starting to get
00:49:11The upper hand
00:49:12Right hand
00:49:14He's turning around
00:49:15In a hurry
00:49:16And Uso
00:49:17On the shoulder
00:49:19Dropping Gunther
00:49:20To the mat
00:49:20Jey's not just
00:49:22Surviving now
00:49:23He's learning
00:49:23He's adapting
00:49:24He's growing
00:49:26Into this fight
00:49:27Just when he really
00:49:28Needed it
00:49:28Nobody home
00:49:30As Gunther was able to
00:49:31Duck out of harm's way
00:49:33And again the impact
00:49:34Rattling the insides
00:49:35Of Jey Uso
00:49:36And again Gunther
00:49:37With a sleeper
00:49:38The choke
00:49:38Trying to put Uso
00:49:39Out here
00:49:40And you know
00:49:41Gunther really wants
00:49:42To win it with a move
00:49:43Jey used to beat him
00:49:44At Wrestlemania
00:49:45Indeed
00:49:46Gunther was embarrassed
00:49:47And humiliated
00:49:48After tapping out
00:49:49To Jey Uso
00:49:50At Wrestlemania
00:49:51Would love to tap
00:49:52The champion tonight
00:49:53Jey Uso
00:49:53Trying to drag
00:49:54Gunther over the top rope
00:49:55And break this here
00:49:57Gunther dumped
00:49:57To the floor
00:49:58Desperation move
00:50:00From Jey Uso
00:50:00He is now
00:50:01Blocking out the pain
00:50:02And hitting top speed
00:50:03And now he hits
00:50:04The suicide dive
00:50:05And down goes
00:50:06Gunther and Uso
00:50:07Trying to rally now
00:50:08Jey Uso's best hope
00:50:10At this point
00:50:11May well be
00:50:12A double count out
00:50:13Neither man moving
00:50:16Whatsoever
00:50:17Jey can't even breathe
00:50:19Down there
00:50:20Again you've had
00:50:22Injured ribs
00:50:23In your career
00:50:24So difficult
00:50:24To catch your breath
00:50:25Especially so deep
00:50:26In the match
00:50:27Yeah you can't move
00:50:28You can't twist
00:50:28You can't inhale
00:50:29You certainly can't
00:50:31Defend the world
00:50:32Heavyweight championship
00:50:33Against the ring
00:50:35General Gunther
00:50:36Yeah Gunther
00:50:36Mentioned it before
00:50:38He's a machine
00:50:39He's a terminator
00:50:40Takes all the emotion
00:50:42Out of the matchup
00:50:43It's just
00:50:44Kill or be killed
00:50:46When it comes to Gunther
00:50:47No mercy
00:50:48No remorse
00:50:49Complete absence of malice
00:50:51You want to get to the top
00:50:53Your mind has to be
00:50:54A compassion free zone
00:50:56And that is something
00:50:57Gunther excels at
00:50:59Gunther top roll
00:51:01Uso got his knees up
00:51:02Jey
00:51:06Spear
00:51:06Gotta kill it now Jey
00:51:10Got him in position
00:51:11Jey Uso going up top
00:51:12Looking to retain the championship
00:51:14Jey Uso now
00:51:15Uso splash
00:51:17And Jey hooks the leg
00:51:19Gunther kicks out
00:51:21Oh man
00:51:25Jey Uso out of nowhere
00:51:28Connecting with the spear
00:51:30Softening the big man off
00:51:32Putting his own body on the line
00:51:34To hit the big one
00:51:35The splash
00:51:36This is it
00:51:37This is it
00:51:37Uh uh
00:51:38Not today
00:51:39Not
00:51:39Against the ring general
00:51:41And that might have been
00:51:43Jey Uso's
00:51:44Final flurry
00:51:46Gone up in smoke
00:51:47I was gonna say
00:51:48Wade if you're Uso
00:51:49Mentally
00:51:50How do you cope with the fact
00:51:51That you just hit him
00:51:52With your one two
00:51:53And he kicked out
00:51:54It's utterly
00:51:55Devastating
00:51:56At the best of times
00:51:57Even more so
00:51:58When you doubt
00:52:00Your body's own ability
00:52:01To cooperate
00:52:02And hit something
00:52:04That big again
00:52:05In this match
00:52:06Uso trying to drag himself
00:52:10Back to his feet here
00:52:12Gunther as well
00:52:14Uso measuring his mane
00:52:17Gunther unsighted
00:52:19And defenseless
00:52:20Pulling himself up
00:52:22In the corner
00:52:22Gunther doesn't realize
00:52:23That Uso is set
00:52:25Ready to spring
00:52:26Oh now he does
00:52:27He turns Jey inside out
00:52:28Absolutely baited Jey
00:52:30And he was fully aware
00:52:31What was going on there
00:52:32Cole
00:52:32And now
00:52:33Gunther
00:52:34Went for the power bomb
00:52:35Uso able to counter
00:52:37Puts the leg
00:52:37To retain
00:52:38At two and a half
00:52:40So much resilience
00:52:41From Jey Uso
00:52:42And a kick to Gunther
00:52:43And now Gunther's in trouble
00:52:44And now Jey Uso
00:52:45Back into the sleeper
00:52:47Jey Uso looking to
00:52:49Take out Gunther
00:52:50Gunther turns it around
00:52:51Now
00:52:51Oh and a knee
00:52:52Right to the
00:52:53The spine
00:52:54So well skilled
00:52:56Technically
00:52:56Not more than five seconds
00:52:58In these sleepers
00:52:59And Gunther rings
00:53:00No not the power bomb
00:53:02Stacks him up
00:53:03Jey still has some life
00:53:05Now Gunther perhaps
00:53:11Starting to get frustrated
00:53:12He knows he's got a lame duck
00:53:14In the ring with him
00:53:15But he simply
00:53:16Cannot put him to the sword
00:53:18The Valiant champion
00:53:19Jey Uso
00:53:20Able to kick out
00:53:21Of that power bomb
00:53:22Despite the injured
00:53:24Midsection
00:53:24Gunther though
00:53:28Realizes
00:53:29Uso's wounded
00:53:30And he's waiting
00:53:32To take out his prey
00:53:33Gunther is hurting
00:53:36That is a testament
00:53:37To the job
00:53:38Jey Uso
00:53:39Has already done
00:53:40This evening
00:53:41But it might be
00:53:42About to go
00:53:43Downhill rapidly
00:53:44Gunther with a spear
00:53:45Gunther with a spear
00:53:47Of his own
00:53:48Cover
00:53:49Hooks the leg
00:53:50Jey still in it
00:53:51Man Gunther wanted
00:53:53To take out Jey
00:53:55With Jey's own move
00:53:56And somehow
00:53:57Uso
00:53:58Was able to kick out
00:54:00First time in Gunther's career
00:54:02He's tried that
00:54:03He tried it for a reason
00:54:05Message said to a
00:54:06Broken and battered
00:54:08Jey Uso
00:54:10Yeah but what a
00:54:12Courageous title defense
00:54:13Tonight
00:54:14From main event
00:54:15Jey Uso
00:54:162025 really has been
00:54:23The year of Jey Uso
00:54:24More momentum
00:54:25Than anybody
00:54:27On the roster
00:54:28That might be
00:54:30About to hit
00:54:31A brick wall
00:54:32In the form
00:54:32Of this big
00:54:33Austrian
00:54:34Jey trying to
00:54:35Somehow fight
00:54:36Back up to his feet
00:54:37Big right
00:54:42Gunther's not reinventing
00:54:45The wheel here
00:54:45It's all basic moves
00:54:47Clothesline
00:54:48Big boots
00:54:49Where is it?
00:54:52Show it to me now
00:54:53Come on
00:54:54It has to be
00:54:55Better than anyone else
00:54:57Now just trash talking
00:55:00Jey Uso
00:55:02Will not
00:55:02Go away
00:55:04Without a fight
00:55:05Still on his feet
00:55:07After
00:55:08A stiff arm
00:55:09Clothesline
00:55:10By Gunther
00:55:11And another one
00:55:11And Jey still fighting back
00:55:13Digging down deep
00:55:15Showing some guts
00:55:16And hearts tonight
00:55:17And the courageous
00:55:19Champion now
00:55:20Went for a sleeper
00:55:22But again
00:55:22Gunther out so quickly
00:55:24And that role of his own
00:55:25You ain't getting out
00:55:26Of this
00:55:26Oh yes you are
00:55:27And Jey Uso
00:55:28Driving Gunther
00:55:29Face first into the turnbuckle
00:55:30Kick in the zone
00:55:31Jey
00:55:33Snap
00:55:34Does Jey have anything left?
00:55:38Well it didn't work
00:55:39The first time
00:55:40Gunther softened up
00:55:41For good now
00:55:42Jey heading up top
00:55:44Uso
00:55:44With an Uso splash
00:55:45Nobody home
00:55:46Right to the bad ribs
00:55:48And that could prove costly
00:55:51For the champion
00:55:52That was as close as you'll ever get
00:55:54To a scream
00:55:55From Jey Uso
00:55:56Involuntary
00:55:58An outlet for this massive amount
00:56:01What a payment
00:56:02Oh my god
00:56:02The hugs are in cold
00:56:03Yeah the constrictor
00:56:05Like
00:56:05Maneuver here
00:56:07By Gunther
00:56:08Now he just puts
00:56:10The full weight
00:56:11Of his body
00:56:11On top of Uso
00:56:12Look at how the arm
00:56:14Is slipped underneath
00:56:14The chin
00:56:16Into a choke
00:56:16As Jey now
00:56:18Tries to make it
00:56:18To the bottom rope
00:56:19That would force a break
00:56:20Can Jey hang on
00:56:22Can Jey Uso hang on
00:56:23Gunther drags him back
00:56:24To the middle of the ring
00:56:25Gunther with a sleeper
00:56:26Still applied
00:56:27Again no way
00:56:29Out of this
00:56:29Perhaps for Jey
00:56:30He's desperately
00:56:31Scrambling
00:56:32With everything
00:56:33He's got
00:56:34Gunther
00:56:34Oh
00:56:35Yeah but Gunther
00:56:37Pulled him back
00:56:37To the center of the ring
00:56:39Yeah he didn't have
00:56:39A good grip on that rope
00:56:40Certainly not good enough
00:56:41To break that hole
00:56:42And again
00:56:43Now he just drags
00:56:44Uso back down
00:56:45To the ring
00:56:45Jey Uso
00:56:46Center of the ring
00:56:47Could be fading
00:56:48Gunther's got
00:56:49His entire weight
00:56:50Wrapped around
00:56:50The body
00:56:51Of Jey Uso
00:56:52Jey trying to fight back
00:56:53The champion
00:56:54Trying to stay in this
00:56:55This audience
00:56:56Willing Jey back
00:56:57Into this
00:56:57Do something please
00:56:59Jey Uso
00:57:00Trying to fight out
00:57:01But his eyes
00:57:02Look like they're
00:57:03Beginning to roll
00:57:03Into the back of his head
00:57:04Jey does he have
00:57:05Some fight left
00:57:06Jey trying to stay in this
00:57:07Jey trying to fight back
00:57:09Jey trying to make it
00:57:10To the ropes
00:57:10All the while
00:57:11That carotid artery
00:57:12Is being squeezed
00:57:14Shut
00:57:14Back to a vertical base
00:57:15For Uso
00:57:16But Gunther drags him
00:57:17Back down on the mat
00:57:18Again
00:57:19And that could be
00:57:20The last gasp
00:57:21For the world
00:57:22Heavyweight champion
00:57:23Can Jey stay in it
00:57:25Fading rapidly
00:57:27The eyes of Jey
00:57:29Oh
00:57:29Yeah but how smart
00:57:30Is Gunther
00:57:31Oh wait a minute
00:57:33Now Uso
00:57:34Into the sweeper
00:57:35Uso with an opportunity
00:57:36Somehow staying in this
00:57:39I don't know how
00:57:40Uso's got any power
00:57:41Left in those limbs
00:57:43All out adrenaline
00:57:45For the champion
00:57:46Gunther's now fading
00:57:47Shades to Wrestlemania
00:57:48Shades to Wrestlemania
00:57:50Will the ring general tap
00:57:51Will Uso retain here
00:57:53Is Gunther gonna tap out again
00:57:55Come in
00:57:56Come in
00:57:56And Jey Uso
00:57:57Screams it
00:57:59His way out of there again
00:58:00Gunther able to slip underneath
00:58:01And now the well placed
00:58:02Elbows to Uso
00:58:03And now Gunther again
00:58:05Wraps it in
00:58:06And Gunther now
00:58:08Wrapped around
00:58:09The body of the champion
00:58:11Does Jey have anything left
00:58:13Anything left
00:58:14So much taken out of Jey
00:58:16The eyes surely faded now
00:58:18Must be a million miles away
00:58:20From those ropes
00:58:21There's no fight left
00:58:22Cole
00:58:23Jey has nothing left in him
00:58:25And it doesn't appear
00:58:25Trying to somehow slip out
00:58:27Of this sleeper
00:58:28By Gunther
00:58:29Jey Uso's out
00:58:30Jey Uso is out
00:58:31I believe
00:58:32He is out
00:58:33Gunther becomes
00:58:34The new world champion
00:58:36Here is your winner
00:58:42And the new
00:58:44World Heavyweight Champion
00:58:49The ring general
00:58:53Gunther
00:58:56Well the expression on the face
00:58:59Of the new world champion
00:59:00Says it all
00:59:01He knows he was in a fight tonight
00:59:04A massive fight
00:59:06With a very game and valiant
00:59:08Courageous Jey Uso
00:59:09But at the end of the day
00:59:11Gunther is once again
00:59:13For the second time in his career
00:59:15A world heavyweight champion
00:59:19Jey Uso's just done too much
00:59:22Over the last couple of months
00:59:24He's been one hell of a champion
00:59:26But I'll tell you
00:59:28I don't care how good you are
00:59:30In this game
00:59:31Even the very best
00:59:32Taken out occasionally
00:59:34But the greats
00:59:35They come back
00:59:37And they avenge their losses
00:59:39With whatever it takes
00:59:41And it took everything
00:59:43But the kitchen sink
00:59:44From Gunther tonight
00:59:46To prize
00:59:47Jey Uso's grip
00:59:49Of the world heavyweight championship
00:59:51You do question
00:59:53What kind of fight would it be
00:59:54Had Jey Uso really been rested
00:59:58At 100%
01:00:00But Gunther didn't care
01:00:02And nor should he
01:00:03This was about the big one
01:00:05This was about the gold
01:00:06This was about the world heavyweight championship
01:00:09And in that moment
01:00:11A new champ was crowned
01:00:14Gunther who prides himself
01:00:17In always carrying gold
01:00:19As Jey Uso
01:00:21And his son there at ringside
01:00:23It is once again
01:00:28The dawning
01:00:29Of the ring general's era
01:00:31Gunther is once again
01:00:34World heavyweight champion
01:00:37Gunther is once again
01:00:39Gunther is once again
01:00:40Gunther is once again
01:00:41Gunther is once again
01:00:42Gunther is once again
01:00:43Gunther is once again
01:00:44Gunther is once again
01:00:45Gunther is once again
01:00:46Gunther is once again
01:00:47Gunther is once again
01:00:48Gunther is once again
01:00:49Gunther is once again
01:00:50Gunther is once again
01:00:51Gunther is once again
01:00:52Gunther is once again
01:00:53Gunther is once again

01:00:59Gunther is once again
