00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Now, forever, together.
01:00As the action heats up all around the WWE Universe, we prepare for an epic weekend in Atlanta for Saturday night's Main Event and Evolution.
01:14Welcome to Main Event.
01:30The following contest is taken for one fall.
01:35Introducing first, from San Fernando, Chile, Stephanie Vacher!
01:44Getting the action started here amidst a very busy weekend for all brands of the WWE.
01:52La Primera star continues to shine in her Main Event debut just one day before Evolution.
01:57As Stephanie Vacher looks to set it off here on Main Event, we welcome you in, Blake Howard, alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
02:09Very busy weekend and week for you.
02:11It certainly was.
02:12I know Booker T is very jealous right now, but run through the list of what's happening this week.
02:17We've got a great American bash.
02:18Did you say that a second ago?
02:21I was leaving that for the voice of NXT.
02:22No, I see Stephanie Vacher would be very upset with you, a former NXT women's champion, a women's North American champion.
02:28The great American bash kicks things off in Atlanta.
02:32And her opponent, representing American made, from Knoxville, Tennessee, I.V. Nile!
02:51Before I let you do your job, I'm going to ask you a question.
02:54Okay.
02:55Who stepped into the ring this week on Monday?
03:00That was red, white, and blue.
03:01I can only assume you're talking about El Grande Americano.
03:05Whom, over the last week or so, has shown on social media the successful surgery he had.
03:12What's about Chad Gable?
03:13So there's obviously, Chad Gable is not El Grande Americano, nor has he ever been.
03:18I did find it very interesting, Monday on Raw.
03:21No tattoo on the back of the neck of El Grande Americano.
03:24See, you always love to stir the pot.
03:25Why don't you do your job and talk about the pit bull?
03:27Well, we certainly go from premier to pit bull.
03:30And talking about great Americans, Vic, a big American made July 4th weekend, I.V. Nile laser focused on her opportunity tomorrow night in Atlanta.
03:39Well, look, this women's battle royal.
03:44Talk about, hold on a second.
03:46Feel the tension rising.
03:48These two have become rivals over the last couple of months on the Monday Night Raw brand, of course, as you're pointing out there, Vic.
03:54A part of that battle royal tomorrow night at Evolution for an opportunity and a title shot at Clash in Paris coming up.
04:00Vic, who needs it more?
04:01Well, that's what I was getting ready to talk about, is this is a huge opportunity for all the women.
04:05Not only women on Monday Night Raw, women in SmackDown, including the women on NXT as well.
04:11It's a big statement-making night.
04:15Evolution, second all-women show, first one in seven years.
04:19And for someone like I.V. Nile, this could be a statement made, right?
04:23Someone like Stephanie Viqueira, this could be a coming-out party of sorts outside of NXT.
04:27Stephanie Viqueira is my pick to win that battle royal.
04:30That's certainly a big statement right there.
04:32La Primera certainly showed out in the Money in the Bank ladder match and now looking to turn the corner right here on the Monday Night Raw brand.
04:39As this rivalry continues here with I.V. Niles, both of these two amping things up in recent weeks.
04:44And look at La Primera here.
04:46Stacks are up.
04:47Only gets two, but Vic, we go back.
04:49Talking about NXT.
04:50Look at I.V. Nile.
04:52And a steal one here from La Primera.
04:54But you go back over the last six months.
04:56What mark did La Primera leave in just that short time in NXT?
05:00I think she really re-energized, set a refocus of sorts, and really showed the women in NXT and those that are on Evolve,
05:10those who may be under a WWE ID talent contract, show them that you can do anything you want.
05:16You can come in in a short amount of time and rewrite the history.
05:19Boom!
05:19As Vaquer has her eyes set right there on I.V. Nile, rolls her right out into the center of the ring, puts the outside leg, only gets one.
05:28One thing I've noticed about Stephanie Vaquer, well here we go, crucifix, shoulders are down.
05:34Is that unlike when she arrived in NXT, she now has almost more of a killer instinct.
05:38She's not waiting around, she's going right for a pin, she's looking to win, but look at the strength of I.V. Nile.
05:44Certainly know about the power and strength on full display right here at the Pitbull.
05:47Stephanie Vaquer said she will dominate on Monday nights, and she's certainly done a great job thus far.
05:52Uh-oh.
05:53I.V. puts on the brakes and right into the backbreaker.
05:57As I.V. Nile here has big opportunity right in front of her, Vic, and what could a win tomorrow mean for I.V.'s future?
06:05It could mean a lot, obviously a championship opportunity, but this moment right here we're seeing out of I.V. Nile
06:11is something Stephanie Vaquer learned about.
06:13She could have went for a cover, she could have went to try to win the match off of that devastating clothesline.
06:17Instead, she's trying to get under the skin of her opponent.
06:20She's trying to almost manipulate those that are in the WWE Universe to try to get the jeers.
06:26This is a different side of I.V. Nile than when she first arrived in NXT, when she first stepped in to the WWE Performance Center down in Orlando.
06:33And a lot of that credit, Vic, could be given to Chad Gable.
06:37It very well could be, and I think you're 100% right.
06:40Ooh!
06:40Not only I.V. Nile, but also the Brothers Creed as well.
06:43All are looking for championship gold, and with a win at Evolution in Atlanta, in that Battle Royal, she's three seconds away from putting gold around her waist.
06:55Vic, of course, we know these are two of the participants in the Battle Royal, but that lineup continuing to get stacked, as we saw this past Tuesday with Ava making some big announcements.
07:03Ava, and I've said this before about the general manager of NXT, is this is a great show, a streak from I.V. Nile.
07:09Here we go, I.V. into the cover off the delayed vertical suplex, shoulders are down to Bacare, but only two.
07:14Ava at such a young age, Ava's ability to make these matches, to have that maturity, to keep her emotions in check.
07:23The things she has done, the matches she has made down at NXT, she is well ahead of her time.
07:29I think, for my money, the best general manager in the WWE.
07:33Certainly making a statement each and every Tuesday night.
07:35I.V. Nile right here has been making a statement on main event throughout 2025.
07:39Her seventh matchup already here on main event.
07:42Looking to turn that corner with what would be a huge win over Stephanie Bacare.
07:45This would be the biggest win, by the way.
07:46This would be the biggest win of I.V. Nile's career.
07:50And certainly a great way to get some momentum going into the weekend.
07:52Here we go, a roll-up by Bacare, only getting one.
07:55Oh, and of course, taking a look at tomorrow night, American Maid, perhaps, could use that win by I.V. Nile.
08:02Certainly could do it for one Chad Gable.
08:04Well, look, they could do it for Chad Gable.
08:05And also, you've got to think, how does it set the tone for those I just talked about in Julius and Brutus?
08:11And of course, Vic, we talk about the big tests in front of us right now.
08:15But up next, Sami Zayn tests his will against a certifiable badass in Braun Breaker from this past Monday.
08:21Another man who really redefined NXT, defined an era of that brand, Braun Breaker, former Intercontinental Champion.
08:29Here we go, Bacare into the cover.
08:31Hooks the outside leg, only getting one.
08:32Of course, Stephanie Bacare, very familiar with being a double champion.
08:35Former NXT Women's North American and NXT Women's Champion.
08:39Trying to turn the corner right here, Vic.
08:41She wants to go to Clash in Paris and get that title opportunity.
08:43100%.
08:44We have to remember, too, she relinquished the Women's North American Championship.
08:48She was never defeated for that title.
08:50But the woman that did defeat her, bam, was JC Jane for the NXT Women's Championship.
08:56And Evolution, she is going to go one-on-one with Jordan Grace.
09:00Major test for Fatal Influence coming up.
09:03Nice.
09:04At Evolution.
09:05And of course, right now, Stephanie Bacare.
09:06Ivy Nile is staying with it.
09:08Trying to get back in this one.
09:09Oh, Nile goes for it all.
09:12And Bacare, oh.
09:14You see that smile in the corner.
09:16And a big dragon screw leg whip.
09:19And now Bacare getting right into position here.
09:22Has Nile up.
09:24Oh.
09:25S.
09:25V.
09:27B.
09:27And La Primera prevails.
09:33Here is your winner.
09:35Stephanie Bacare.
09:40And Vic, that's a way to make a statement heading into the weekend.
09:43Certainly is one way to build some momentum heading to Evolution.
09:48You see the snap there in that dragon screw leg whip as Stephanie Bacare laser focused.
09:52Boom.
09:52And then, bam, the back of the neck.
09:54Right on that knee.
09:55No devil's kiss tonight, Vic.
09:57But Stephanie Bacare picks up the dub.
09:59My pick to win the Women's Battle Royal in Evolution.
10:03It had to clash in Paris.
10:04To compete for a Women's Championship.
10:07The field is stacked.
10:09But La Primera looks for that inside track tomorrow night at Evolution.
10:14Still to come, it is a battle of power versus speed.
10:17As the War Raiders look to continue their win streak here on Main Event.
10:20Against the LWO's high-flying duo of Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin White.
10:25Who will come out on top?
10:26We'll find out later when these two electric pairings collide here tonight.
10:29And that's not all.
10:32As Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Freakin' Rollins continues his planned conquest of WWE when he goes one-on-one with the fearless luchador Penta.
10:41After disrupting the Visionary's plans on multiple occasions, including spoiling a cash-in at Night of Champions.
10:47Penta locks horns with Rollins in what is sure to be an all-out brawl.
10:51You are not going to want to miss this later tonight.
10:56And speaking of can't miss, after overcoming Randy Orton in the explosive tournament final at Night of Champions.
11:02The newly crowned King of the Ring, Cody Rhodes, is set to address the WWE Universe.
11:07What will the American Nightmare have to say as he gears up for his highly anticipated shot at redemption?
11:12We'll find out next.
11:13This August, WWE brings the vibes to MetLife Stadium.
11:24You know what time it is?
11:33Two nights.
11:35Unbelievable!
11:36Too many stars to count.
11:37Jerseys just built different.
11:48SummerSlam.
11:50On a whole nother level.
11:55WWE SummerSlam.
11:57August 2nd and 3rd.
12:00Individual and combo tickets on sale now.
12:07Welcome back to Main Event.
12:13The biggest party of the summer just got bigger.
12:15As the first ever two-night SummerSlam is coming to MetLife Stadium.
12:20Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd.
12:23Individual event and two-event combo tickets are on sale now.
12:27And after securing the King of the Ring crown at Night of Champions.
12:30It is official.
12:32The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, will take on the never-seen 17-time champion, John Cena, in a rematch of their battle at WrestleMania.
12:41And as August quickly approaches, we now turn to last Friday.
12:44The American Nightmare took to the ring to address the WWE Universe.
12:49I left a piece of myself in Columbus, Ohio, fighting Jey Uso, just to hold this.
12:59I left a piece of myself in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, wrestling my mentor Randy Orton, just to hold this.
13:06And what does it stand for?
13:08It stands for where we've been.
13:10It stands for where we are going.
13:12Where we've been, where we've been, past kings, like Booker T, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Triple H.
13:26And it stands for where we are going.
13:31The main event of SummerSlam.
13:36Myself, the King of the Ring, against the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.
14:01Cody, for weeks and weeks and weeks, I told you that I would do whatever it took to win at King of the Ring.
14:23I told you for weeks and weeks that I would not hesitate.
14:26But at Night of Champions, I had you dead to rights.
14:36I had you laying there.
14:37I was about to rearrange your skull, brother.
14:45But I hesitated.
14:49You didn't hesitate.
14:51You pulled the trigger.
15:00And for that, I respect you.
15:05Now, I won't soon forget it.
15:08But for that, I respect you.
15:10But there is one thing that I ask of you.
15:12In fact, I want you to promise me, Cody.
15:15Promise me that you will not squander this opportunity.
15:19Promise me that you will go to SummerSlam and kick John Cena's ass.
15:38Drew McIntyre?
15:41Oh, wow.
15:43It has been weeks.
15:44Saturday night's main event, in fact, since we last saw the Scottish psychopath.
15:54A month and a half ago, on the receiving end of a concerto in the steel cage.
16:00And he arrives at this moment.
16:02I am the only way to work at this moment.

17:35Speaking of, jak na prawdziwym,
17:40jego surgically-repaired backem.
17:43Hey, Randy, możecie zrozumieć.
17:45Do pamiętaj, kiedyś pamiętaj, kiedyś zaproszedł ten surgically-repaired backem.
17:50Zobacz z nimi.
17:52Zobacz z nimi.
17:54Zobacz z nimi, jaka sprawa shard, jaka szardka smelta na ten water.
17:58Zobacz z nimi.
18:01Zobacz z nimi, nie znałem.
18:04Niech w stanie się do tego, co to nie było.
18:11Co siÄ™ dzieje, Randy?
18:15You were the Viper, the Legend Killer, the Apex Predator.
18:19A few years ago, you were punting Hall of Famers in the head,
18:23and I had to save them from the monster you were.
18:27As far as I'm concerned, the legend of Randy Orton is dead.
18:33And you, Super Cody, I want you to win at SummerSlam.
18:50I want Cody Rhodes to be the next WWE Champion.
18:59This is the match I want.
19:01This is as big as it gets.
19:02This is 20 years in the making, parallel careers, different destinations.
19:07I want you to have that title so I can be the one to rip it out of your hands.
19:12And I won't hesitate, unlike somebody.
19:22RKO, RKO, that's the Viper.
19:28RKO, RKO, RKO, RKO, RKO.
19:37That's the Randy Orton wing, the uninhibited, vicious Viper Randy Orton, who heard enough.
19:47Rady Orton
19:51To jest randy Orton
19:54Uninhibited, vicious Viper
19:57Randy Orton, who heard enough
20:00Drew McIntyre just pushed one button
20:03Too many on a Viper
20:05Who is in no move for fun and games
20:08Post-Night of Champions
20:11As vicious and unrepentant as ever
20:17After that vintage RKO from the Viper
20:22This match is now set
20:24The outspoken Scottish psychopath Drew McIntyre
20:26Will look to put his money where his mouth is
20:28When he collides one-on-one with Randy Orton
20:31At Saturday night's main event
20:33Can WWE's Apex Predator prove that he still has the killer instinct?
20:37McIntyre claims he has lost
20:39We'll find out when these two meet in the ring in Atlanta
20:43But Randy Orton isn't the only one with something to prove
20:46As the iconic Goldberg will challenge the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther
20:51With a title at Saturday night's main event
20:53In what could be the WWE Hall of Famer's swan song
20:57Can Goldberg turn back the clock and put Gunther down to claim another accolade
21:01For his illustrious career?
21:03Or will Gunther back up his trash talk and finish Goldberg once and for all?
21:08We will find out Saturday, July 12th
21:11But before these two Goliaths go to war in Atlanta
21:14We turn to last Monday when Gunther once again addressed his legendary opponent
21:19You're right, this Saturday
21:21Saturday night's main event
21:23I will defend my World Heavyweight Championship
21:28Against none other than Bill Goldberg
21:32And for the last two weeks
21:41I've been verbally abusing Bill Goldberg in the middle of this ring
21:48And so far he's done nothing about it
21:52So I can only assume that Bill Goldberg is afraid
22:02He's afraid of me
22:05He's afraid of the pressure
22:07He's afraid of me
22:09You're a second member
22:10He's afraid of me
22:11You're a second member
22:12He's afraid of me
22:14I'm a apoyvert
22:16He's afraid of me
22:19For the Möglichkeiten
22:20No place
22:34KONIEC!
23:04KONIEC!
23:34And Goldberg with the right hand drops the champion.
23:52Gunther goes down.
23:55And he's setting up for a spear to send a message to the champ.
24:02And Gunther, a first disaster.
24:12My days!
24:14My days!
24:20The Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch is set to defend the title in a highly anticipated
24:25triple threat match at WWE Evolution.
24:28We'll hear from the man when she takes to the ring to address her upcoming match.
24:32It all goes down next on Main Event!
24:38I'm the B-E-S-T!
24:51The Prodigy!
24:53This storm is coming.
24:55Greatness is my destiny.
24:57I'm number one.
24:59This is a big time!
25:09You've never defeated Io Sky in singles competition.
25:13Does that affect her psyche at all going into this match?
25:19Cover on Ripley!
25:21Sky wins!
25:23Over the Musou!
25:25Into the cover!
25:27Io's reign continues in NXT.
25:31Io Sky counter!
25:35Io Sky is the world champion!
25:44Over the Musou!
25:46Cover on Bel Air!
25:48Io Sky wins!
25:50Io Sky has never defeated Io Sky in a one-on-one matchup!
25:56Io's always had my number every step of the way.
26:00Whether it was the Mae Young Classic II, NXT, now for my Women's World Championship.
26:06That's always gonna be on my mind, but I'm someone that likes to put this doubt into the fire
26:12that really sets me alive.
26:14Mami is the most dominant woman within this company.
26:20Rhea Ripley is a genuine badass.
26:24How could you not be impressed?
26:27This is my division.
26:30Because Mami is always on top.
26:36Welcome to Monday Night Mami!
26:43With Evolution just around the corner, I feel like I need to start getting my priorities straight.
26:56The Women's World Champion, Io Sky.
27:04You are wrong about one thing.
27:08You are not on top.
27:11Not without this.
27:14Nobody in this division can stop me.
27:17From world to stardom, to the top of the world.
27:23It's my era.
27:27What the greatest in-ring competitors the Women's Division has ever seen.
27:31Nobody in this division will ever take this championship from your sky.
27:42I want to defend against the best.
27:46That means defending against Rhea Ripley.
27:56Io, I have nothing but respect for you.
27:59And if that is what you want, then I just want you to know that I'm going to stop at nothing to get this back.
28:07So at Evolution, Rhea Ripley vs. Io Sky for the Women's World Championship.
28:15You're on.
28:16What a gutsy move by Io Sky, who will be the Women's World Champion.
28:24I am the real Women's World Champion.
28:34At Evolution, the WWE Universe is in store for an all-out war.
28:42The Women's World Champion Io Sky will put her title on the line against the former champ, Rhea Ripley.
28:47After a devastating loss to the Genius of the Sky on the road to WrestleMania, Rhea Ripley looks to finally take back the gold against the woman she has yet to defeat one-on-one.
28:58This epic confrontation goes down at the historic all-women showcase in what is sure to be a match for the ages.
29:06The NXT Women's Championship is up for grabs as J.C. Jane defends her title against the powerhouse Jordan Grace.
29:13Since topping Stephanie Vaquer in shocking fashion to claim the crown, Jane and Fatal Influence have ruled the women's division with an iron grip.
29:20But now, more determined than ever, the Juggernaut seeks her first taste of NXT Championship glory.
29:27Will Grace rise to the occasion on this historic night?
29:30We'll find out this Saturday.
29:34Jade, Gargill, and Naomi are set to reignite their intense rivalry at WWE Evolution
29:39when they collide in a no-holds-barred match.
29:43Ever since the stunning revelation that Naomi was behind the vicious assault that sidelined Gargill for months,
29:49tensions between them have reached a boiling point.
29:51But with a no-holds-barred match, there is no telling what might go down when these two clash in Atlanta.
29:58Tiffany Stratton will take on the iconic WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus in a dream match come true.
30:05Can the Hall of Famer deliver some signature stratus-fection and secure her eighth world title?
30:11Or will Tiffy's time as champion continue on the road to the biggest party of the summer?
30:16You will not want to miss this one.
30:18Evolution will also play host to a massive triple threat match
30:23as Becky Lynch will defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship
30:26against her longtime rival, Bayley, and the former champ and woman she betrayed, Lyra Valkyria.
30:33With the stakes and tension higher than ever, we turn to last Monday,
30:38as the man addressed her challengers one last time before they meet in Atlanta.
30:42But I beat Bayley, I beat Lyra, neither of them deserve an opportunity.
30:51I, I deserve to pick my own opponent.
30:56Io got to pick her own opponent.
30:59Tiffany got to pick her own opponent.
31:01Hey, I, I picked this woman right here.
31:04And I beat you in a second.
31:10So, so, so what I think, you know, you know, I think what's happening
31:16is, is it's all, it's all a show.
31:18It's all a ruse.
31:20Bayley and Lyra, they're in cahoots.
31:23They're working together because they know that is the only way they are going to get
31:27this title off me.
31:28But both of them, both of them last week pinned each other.
31:32Do you know how statistically rare that is to happen in wrestling?
31:36I'm out of doubt, Bayley's here to argue statistics with the man.
31:49Remember, it was Becky Lynch who took out Bayley before WrestleMania.
31:56Well, not to be upstaged, the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion is here.
32:04Lyra Valkyria.
32:07Lyra just marched right past the role model.
32:14What are you talking about?
32:16What are you actually saying?
32:18Congratulations, Becky.
32:20You've completed your transformation into a total raving lunatic.
32:25Oh my God.
32:26My title is wrapped around the waist of a bucket full of crazy.
32:30And I think it's time I took it back.
32:34Yeah, I see what you guys are doing, we're gonna come together.
32:42Are you kidding me?
32:45The way I see it is that I should be standing here as the Intercontinental Champion
32:50if it wasn't for you two weeks ago.
32:56She's speaking to me.
32:57She's really speaking to me.
32:58Look at me.
32:59What a treat.
33:00I'm sorry, it's just I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up.
33:03We get it.
33:04All right, get over it.
33:06I didn't get back to you after WrestleMania.
33:08Let it go, okay?
33:10If WrestleMania taught me anything, it's that I don't need partners.
33:15And I damn sure don't need any more friends.
33:18What I do need is that championship right there.
33:23Oh, Bailey, listen to you.
33:29After 13 years of failed friendships and grimy hugs, another one bites the dust, huh?
33:37Well, it's good to see you not trying so hard anymore.
33:40Because, yeah, she really dropped you like a hot potato at WrestleMania.
33:44No, no, no, no, it's time we set the record straight on this.
33:48And I have to tell you what I never told you.
33:50Everybody thinks that I called Becky and brought her back at WrestleMania.
33:55I didn't.
33:56Becky secretly attacked you, and then Becky called me.
34:02But there wasn't much hesitation in your voice, was there?
34:08Well, you know, I remember this one thing that you said.
34:12You said, Bailey is everything that I am pretending to be.
34:18And that Bailey would never betray you the way that I did.
34:22Well, how's that working out for you?
34:23Because it seems like she's not pretending anymore, is she?
34:26I hate to say I told you so.
34:28Shut up, Becky.
34:29You can't get in my head anymore, okay?
34:33But she was right about one thing.
34:37How nice of you to finally admit it.
34:40You don't care about friendship when it comes to championship gold, right?
34:44You know what that makes you?
34:47That makes you just like her.
34:53And I know what I have to do now.
34:56On Sunday at Evolution, I have to rescue that championship from two massive disappointments.
35:08You know what, Lyra?
35:09I sat front row when you were the first ever women's intercontinental champion.
35:17When you won that championship for the first time, I sat right there.
35:22And when we had that tag tournament to get to WrestleMania, I stood on the apron,
35:26and I watched the work you put in.
35:29I watched you rise to the top.
35:30I watched you go to WrestleMania and become a double champion.
35:39And then I watched you lose that intercontinental championship.
35:44And you raised her hand like a little bitch.
35:49Well, Lyra's holding out.
35:53And Becky knocked down.
35:55And here we go, Bayley and Lyra brawling.
35:57Picking up right where we left off last Monday.
36:00Yeah, you know this wasn't going to end well.
36:02Lyra Valkyria had enough of Bayley.
36:05And now Becky Lynch went for the manhandle slam.
36:11And Lyra, the nightwing to Becky.
36:18Bayley again from behind.
36:21Scooped up by Valkyria.
36:22The nightwing to Bayley as well.
36:24Lyra Valkyria standing tall.
36:26As it goes down like that in Atlanta, we're gonna have a new intercontinental champion.
36:31This will be the last time your hand is raised for this championship.
36:38You hear me?
36:46Coming up, the War Raiders are set to take on the LWO in tag team action.
36:51Can the explosive Eric and Ivar keep up their win streak on main event?
36:55Or will the electric offense of the LWO be enough to pull out a victory
37:00against the former tag team champs?
37:02We will find out next.
37:07On July 12th, a classic returns.
37:12Louder, tougher, and hitting harder than ever.
37:16Oh, here we go.
37:18Let's get this thing fired up.
37:20The Great American Bash.
37:22This summer, WWE comes to La Defense Arena in Paris for a two nights late.
37:34On Sunday, August 31st, WWE will host the momentous Clash in Paris premium live event,
37:40followed by Monday Night Raw on September 1st.
37:43Combo and individual tickets are on sale now.
37:46And as August draws near, one worthy contender must first stand tall to punch their ticket to Paris.
37:53This weekend at Evolution, a star-studded battle royal consisting of superstars from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT
38:00all look to be the last woman standing earning a championship match at Clash in Paris.
38:06Also at Evolution, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez's championship medal will be tested as they face off against three teams,
38:15including the former tag team champs, the Kabuki Warriors, NXT, Sol Ruka, and Zarya,
38:20and the dream team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
38:28Will Raquel and the newest Judgment Day member heat the gold?
38:31Or will the tag titles be evicted from the clubhouse?
38:34We'll find out this weekend at Evolution.
38:39If last week is any indication, the Judgment Day's aspirations as tag champs are as ambitious as ever.
38:45On Raw, the Judgment Day delivered a show-stealing performance en route to defeating the New Day
38:51to regain the World Tag Team titles.
38:53With the clubhouse treasure chest filled for now, Finn Balor and JD McDonough now stand at the top of
38:59Raw's hotly contested tag team division.
39:02And speaking of the tag team division, we now turn to the ring for some more tag team action
39:06here on Main Event.
39:11Oh, it's time to fly!
39:12And a combined weight of 370 pounds.
39:14Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Gil-Toro, the L-W-T.
39:17And a combined weight of 370 pounds.
39:18Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Gil-Toro, the L-W-T.
39:21is a tag team match scheduled for one call.
39:29Introducing first, and a combined weight of 370 pounds, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Gil-Toro, the L-W-O.
39:43L-W-O well represented here once again, this exciting and daring duo.
39:49Two of Lucha Libre's finest back together again.
39:51They're fully healthy, and they're ready to put on another highlight reel tonight in province.
39:55It's gonna be contrasting styles meeting here in this tag team clash on Main Event.
40:03And Evolution is presented by Maybelline New York, the official cosmetics partner of WWE.
40:11The mood certainly did just change.
40:41And our opponents have a combined weight of 590 pounds.
40:51Erik and Irar, the War Rehears!
40:59Well, Main Event is War once again, as nearly 600 pounds of pure force and reckoning.
41:04Let's continue their pursuit of championship gold, and proving their brand of dominance is supreme.
41:09as they attempt to move to 4-0 on Main Event in 2025.
41:15Take a look at the WWE Universe here.
41:19They're in what is going to be a fast-paced, hard-hitting tag team affair.
41:26And Vic, here in the Northeast, we're in War Raiders country.
41:29You're not lying, we certainly are.
41:31We're both there in Ivar, and I really wonder, not only these two, but all four men.
41:38But all four men in this matchup after what we saw on RAW between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
41:46This one's starting out.
41:47Told you it's gonna be fast.
41:48Right out of the gates.
41:49We know about the speed and athleticism of the LWO, the hard-hitting of the War Raiders.
41:52Something we'll have to give as Joaquin Wilde officially back here.
41:56And he runs right into Eric.
41:59Yeah, good to see Joaquin Wilde back into the ring, doing what he loves to do, makes the tag.
42:03Cruz del Toro into this matchup right now.
42:05And again, Vic, you pointed out, they're healthy once again.
42:08And for the LWO, how did they become threats to the World Tag Team Championship?
42:12Well, if you're able to defeat a pair of former multi-time champions, that certainly would do the trick.
42:17And you're gonna have to pull out a lot of tricks tonight.
42:20Hebrada there by Cruz del Toro into the cover.
42:23Only gets one right there.
42:24That's the power on display, just kicking out at one after all.
42:27You know, you take this, you take that, you get knocked down, you get back up.
42:30That just shows the resiliency also of Eric.
42:33And same thing goes for Ivar as well.
42:35Maybe making a mistake there as Cruz del Toro trying to play the power game with Eric.
42:41And look at Eric, just dumping del Toro.
42:44And here comes the massive Ivar.
42:46Joaquin Wilde wants a taste.
42:50The War Raiders are rolling right here, Vic.
42:52Say that again.
42:57Whoa.
42:59Over 300 pounds up and down.
43:02Right out of the ribs there of Cruz del Toro into the cover.
43:04Hooks the outside leg.
43:05And the LWO hangs on for now.
43:07I said resilience a second ago.
43:09I give del Toro a lot of credit too.
43:10Just being able to kick out.
43:13Tag back into Eric right here.
43:15And of course we know the War Raiders watching very closely as the Judgment Day upended the New Day for the World Tag Team Championship.
43:21And again, it's just not only the War Raiders.
43:23It's the LWO.
43:24It's the Brothers Creed.
43:25I mean, any tag team that is on Monday Night Raw right now has to be looking at getting next in line for an opportunity.
43:33At those tag team titles.
43:35But here's that speed.
43:36Pace is quickening.
43:37Ivar knocked off.
43:38Oh.
43:39Both members of the LWO here on the apron.
43:42They can look at Eric.
43:44Create that separation right here, Vic.
43:46Oh, the low bridge.
43:47Ivar goes to the floor.
43:48And now the LWO gonna work in unison.
43:52Wild flies.
43:53Cruz del Toro off the apron.
43:55As the LWO looking to roll right here and pick up a huge win on Main Event.
44:00An absolutely incredible scene.
44:15This is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about.
44:22WWE Clash in Paris, Sunday, August 31st.
44:29Tickets on sale now.
44:31Back here on Main Event and the LWO utilizing that speed and quickness throughout the break to maintain control.
44:42And I'm glad tag team, this tag team match taking, you know, center stage here tonight.
44:47It's been a busy week for the tag team division.
44:49Hank and Tank defended the NXT tag team title this past Tuesday.
44:52Tomorrow, four teams going at it for the women's tag team titles.
44:57You mentioned Judgment Day earlier.
44:59Well, pair of Judgment Day members might not have gold after tomorrow.
45:03The WWE women's tag team titles could come to NXT courtesy of Zarya and Soruka.
45:09Soruka could be the wild card there, of course.
45:11Teams from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT competing for those women's tag team championships.
45:16But right now, Eric looking to get Ivar back into this thing.
45:19Whoa!
45:20And Ivar, who last year went on a singles conquest, but now back with Eric, look to be as dominant as ever.
45:26Dominant as ever.
45:28Boom!
45:29A man this big isn't supposed to move that quick.
45:34And, Vic, of course, on Monday Night Raw, we saw the War Raiders jockeying with New Day and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce
45:40as they certainly want another opportunity at gold.
45:42Look, the resume speaks for itself.
45:44I understand that.
45:46But the resume of the New Day also speaks for itself.
45:50So something, obviously, is going to have to give.
45:52I would not.
45:53Oh, I would not want to be Ivar right now.
45:55Or Adam Pearce, General Manager of Monday Night Raw.
45:58Big risk, no reward there for the War Raiders as Cruz del Toro looking to get the smooth criminal back in this matchup.
46:05Vic, of course, the War Raiders defeated the Judgment Day back in April on Raw.
46:09That could earn them a title opportunity, but the LWO wants to play spoiler right here.
46:14We've said it before, and I'll say it again.
46:16It's what have you done for me lately.
46:18This matchup, of course, could pay off big dividends in the tag team division when it comes to those tag team titles.
46:26As Joaquin Wilde.
46:28What?
46:29Looking to take it right to Eric.
46:30Eric wants more punishment.
46:31Uh-oh.
46:32As look at this counter on display.
46:35Does Wilde have the strength to get Eric up and over?
46:37Oh!
46:38That's a new wrinkle in his game.
46:41Elevates him a bit, does Joaquin Wilde.
46:44And now the smooth criminal.
46:46Maybe a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
46:48Missing out on Worlds Collide.
46:49But he's back right here looking to make a statement.
46:53And a statement indeed.
46:54Looking for an exclamation point.
46:56That stick and move.
46:57Ivar makes the tag.
46:58And I don't think Wilde knows it though, Blake.
47:00Oh.
47:01If he didn't know, he certainly does now.
47:03That's certainly a way to get introduced to the big Ivar.
47:06Oh!
47:07And that stick and move starting to work again here for the LWO.
47:10And again, Wilde is still the legal superstar, is he not?
47:12Indeed he is.
47:13But Cruz del Toro.
47:15He gets wiped out.
47:16But here comes the smooth criminal.
47:18This is that fast-paced, hard-hitting matchup I said we would have.
47:23Springboard drop kick.
47:25And we've seen the LWO as a singles unit.
47:27Oh no!
47:28But as a tag-oh!
47:29You've got to be kidding me!
47:30What a counter there!
47:32As Joaquin Wilde takes out Ivar Eric.
47:34Staring down Wilde.
47:36And Eric heads to the floor.
47:38LWO on the verge of maybe, just maybe,
47:42defeating the former World Tag Team Champions.
47:46This one breaking down right in front of us.
47:48The WWE Universe coming alive here for the LWO.
47:51Joaquin Wilde from the outside in.
47:53There's the tag to Cruz del Toro!
47:55Del Toro!
47:57Looks to follow Wilde!
48:00Twisting 450!
48:02Did he get enough of it?
48:03Will this do it?
48:04Oh!
48:05And that's a lot of men to keep down, Vic.
48:07If you go back, del Toro didn't hit it flush.
48:09He didn't hit it solid.
48:11That maybe, just maybe, is what saved the War Raiders here tonight.
48:15As both of these teams looking at new champions,
48:17potentially meeting new possibilities in the tag team division.
48:20Oh!
48:21We talked about the athleticism of the LWO, but Ivar digging deep in his bag.
48:26Again, man, that big shouldn't move that easily.
48:28Tag was made.
48:30As Eric is in, and Vic, we talk about the double teams here.
48:33Look at the pass off.
48:35Eric has him up.
48:36Ivar off the ropes!
48:38War Machine!
48:40And Eric and Ivar keep on rolling!
48:43Here are your winners!
48:48The War Raiders!
48:53Now you gotta wonder what's going through the head of the general manager on Monday Night Raw.
48:58Adam Pearce certainly has a lot to think about as Cruz del Toro busts out the twisting 450.
49:04He thought that might have been enough.
49:06But you're gonna need a lot more than that to keep down the War Raiders.
49:09And Vic, we talk about the power.
49:10Boom!
49:11We talk about the cohesion.
49:12We talk about the tag team championship runs.
49:15Eric and Ivar looking for the third time to be a charm as they want more gold after a big win right here on Main Event.
49:23As Eric and Ivar raid over the LWO, we shift gears back to Raw, where Sami Zayn's quest to take down the Rollins regime was upended by an old foe, Karrion Kross.
49:34With Zayn beaten and battered, Braun Breaker would capitalize with a vicious spear, putting down Zayn for the victory.
49:40Next at bat was the yeet man himself, as Jey Uso took on big Bronson Reed.
49:46Even with his best efforts, the fan favorite's chances at besting one of Raw's biggest bullies took a turn for the worst.
49:53Despite all the odds, Penta stands alone as the last line of defense for the Raw locker room.
50:03Will Penta fend off Seth Rollins and company?
50:06Or will he, as the visionary proclaimed, prove to be just another cautionary tale?
50:12We'll find out when Penta takes on Rollins next on Main Event.
50:20Welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event.
50:22Saturday Night's Main Event is back.
50:24The light, the legend, the chaos.
50:28And now, the icon returns for one final match.
50:33Or next.
50:35Goldberg.
50:36Goonberg.
50:37For the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
50:41No one spared, everyone speared.
50:44Saturday Night's Main Event, live, nationwide, Saturday at 8 on NBC and PECON.
50:49Let me talk to you.
50:55My man Seth Rollins, I am talking to you, the visionary, Mr. Money in the Bank.
51:00You hold the case, you hold the power.
51:02But I tell you what, man, the one guy that you really kind of chapped just a little bit is this guy.
51:10You got a whole lot of paying to do, because you're in debt, my man.
51:13That's something that I feel like shouldn't belong to me.
51:24You are Mr. Money in the Bank.
51:26You hold the case.
51:27It's yours to carry the burden.
51:30Here's the thing.
51:31That burden's gonna be real heavy, I'll tell you why.
51:35You try and sing your boys down there to do the damage?
51:38Let's think about it.
51:39One tsunami, two tsunami, three tsunami, and I was back in one week.
51:44But here's how it goes down, my man.
51:46The days are counting down, slowly but surely.
51:48I can't take that Money in the Bank case off of you.
51:51And that's okay, I ain't gonna try to.
51:53What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make that case a permanent party.
51:56Whether I stick it up to your case or I attach it to your damn head,
51:59you can bet that after Saturday Night's Main Event,
52:02you can be the one to hold the case, but you will know exactly whose game this is.
52:06When even you'll be saying, L.A. Knight.
52:11Yeah!
52:16Seth Rollins may have secured the Money in the Bank briefcase,
52:19but the megastar is determined to get his retribution.
52:22After numerous attacks back and forth between these bitter rivals,
52:26L.A. Knight finally goes one-on-one with Seth Freakin' Rollins for the first time ever
52:31at Saturday Night's Main Event.
52:35Before the showdown in Hotlanta,
52:37the visionary sets his sights on the smooth-walking, death-defying Penta.
52:42Thus far, the night has been a rough one for the good guys.
52:45But now, we take it down to the ring to see if Heyman, Rollins, and company
52:49make good on their promise and strike fear in the man dubbed, Cero Mieda.
52:54And Rollins learning a lot about the toughness of Penta here tonight.
53:01Oh, Seth could be lining it up.
53:05Looking for the stomp.
53:06Looking for the stomp on Penta.
53:08Penta middle of the ring.
53:09Rollins, nobody home.
53:11Penta out of the way just in time.
53:14Here comes Rollins once again.
53:16Set up on the top rope, kick to the temp.
53:18That'll stun Rollins.
53:28Terribly dangerous predicament for both superstars.
53:34Penta looking potentially for a superplex now.
53:37Change of plans up top.
53:39Plans on the apron.
53:41Great change for Penta.
53:44What is he gonna do here?
53:45Penta now.
53:46Hurricanrana.
53:47What atleticism by Penta.
53:50Here it comes.
53:51And out for the Penta driver.
53:52There it is.
53:53For the win over Rollins.
53:55Two, three, two, three.
53:56And Seth just managed to get the shoulder up somehow.
53:59Off the Penta driver.
54:05This was too close to call.
54:07Penta sending Rollins straight down.
54:11Penta driver.
54:12I don't know how Rollins got his shoulder up.
54:17Pure instinct perhaps there.
54:19Rollins is a survivor.
54:21We know that.
54:22I was too close.
54:23I was way too close.
54:24I was way too close.
54:26Aiman pleading with Rollins.
54:28He knows Rollins can afford a loss here tonight.
54:31And he looks to continue to establish the legacy of this new group.
54:36Let's go Penta.
54:37Let's go Penta.
54:39Let's go Penta.
54:41Well, let's go Penta chance.
54:43Penta now.
54:44We saw what he did to Chad Gable with this move.
54:48The sacrifice, he calls it.
54:50Rollins fighting out.
54:52Obviously Rollins has done his homework pop up
54:56Look at the power of Mr. Money in the bank
55:00Rollins with a buckle bomb
55:04Oh! Mexican Destroyer!
55:08What a move by Penta!
55:10Cover!
55:12Rollins is too close to the bottom rope
55:16A fortuitous bounce
55:20The body of Seth Freak and Rollins
55:24First the buckle bomb
55:26Into the Mexican Destroyer by Penta
55:30And as luck would have it, Rollins
55:32Just a little too close to the bottom rope
55:36And this one rolls on
55:38And he lost his preps for a moment
55:42And now Penta
55:44Looking to put Rollins away once again
55:46Oh! And Rollins!
55:48Rollins, he went low
55:50Rollins caught Penta
55:52With a head to the groin
55:54Or did Penta pull Rollins up?
55:58Well, look at the expression on Seth's face
56:04Obviously, that was not inadvertent
56:06And neither was the stomp
56:08And Rollins off that low blow that caught Penta
56:14Will put Penta away
56:16Three for three for Rollins and company tonight
56:20Here is your winner
56:22Here is your winner
56:24Seth Freakin' Rollins!
56:28Always finds a way
56:30Oh no!
56:34Oh no!
56:36Meet you now!
56:38Now!
56:40Now!
56:42Now!
56:43What the hell is he marking after his phone?
56:45Oh boy
56:47I have my guesses
56:48Yeah, yeah, well it was
56:49Yeah, there you go
56:51Braun Breaker, Big Bronson Reed
56:53Coming out here for more destruction tonight
56:56Penta is helpless
56:58What the hell?
57:01What the hell?
57:02L.A. Knight!
57:03Blood force trauma!
57:04BFT!
57:05Hit and run on Rollins!
57:09And L.A. Knight escapes
57:12getting the last laugh tonight
