00:11kind of a one ball, introducing first the team of Kairi Zane and
00:18Asuka, the Kabuki Warriors.
00:25Big match up for the Kabuki Warriors tonight as they hope to
00:29perhaps earn a future tag team championship opportunity.
00:33The Kabuki Warriors versus Roxanne and Raquel happens live on Netflix.
00:50Asuka, Kairi Zane, of course,
00:52were part of the fatal four way at Evolution last night.
00:55What a match that was with the Judgment Day retaining.
00:57No doubt about it.
00:58The goal for the Judgment Day was simple, to prove that Roxanne was fitting,
01:02worthy to hold the gold alongside Raquel.
01:05They managed to do so, but they still remain targets in the women's tag team
01:08division, and Asuka and Kairi Zane always dangerous potential contenders.
01:13We have former two-time tag team title holders.
01:17Asuka and Kairi Zane, the Kabuki Warriors.
01:20Asuka has held the tag titles four times in her career.
01:28This is an important opportunity for the Kabuki Warriors to dust themselves off from the result at Evolution,
01:34and get back on the horse and try again.
01:35Great performances, also last night by Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and, of course,
01:46Sol Ruka and Zarya from NXT in that tag team championship match.
01:50Charlotte Flair, an unlucky recipient of the mind-blowing Sol Snatcher, and what a move that is.
02:02What an athlete Sol Ruka is.
02:04I'm lucky enough to watch Sol Ruka week after week at NXT, watch her develop into a surefire future star.
02:13N-W-W-E customized Pirate Eyepatch from the Pirate Princess.
02:43And our opponents accompanied by the Intercontinental Champion,
02:54Dirty Dominic Mysterio, representing the Judgment Day.
03:01They are the Women's Tag Team Champions, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Hooray.
03:13It was a Tejana bomb by Raquel Rodriguez last night, Penning Sol Ruka.
03:19As the Judgment Day were able to keep the tag team titles.
03:22An important win, Corey, because it was the first time Raquel and Roxanne defended the tag titles together
03:28after the injury to Liv Morgan.
03:29And Roxanne no doubt felt like she had the weight of the entire Judgment Day on her shoulders,
03:33needed to prove herself worthy, and did exactly that in Atlanta.
03:42Just an incredible weekend for WWE in the Southeast, Nashville of course for
03:47SmackDown Friday night, Atlanta for the Great American Bash, Saturday night's main event and evolution.
03:56And of course tonight, Birmingham, Alabama for Monday Night Raw.
04:01So Raquel Rodriguez will start things off against Kyrie Sane in this matchup again, Corey.
04:06Big match for the Kabuki Warriors tonight.
04:08Yeah, this is an opportunity essentially to jump the line once again.
04:10We've got Roxanne and Raquel as the tag team champions, they're always going to be looking for competition.
04:15What better way to establish yourself again than to beat the champs tonight.
04:19Yeah, the first time these two teams have gone head to head in a traditional tag team matchup.
04:23The power now of Raquel Rodriguez has really come into her own as of late.
04:42A lot to dissect when it comes to the Judgment Day is Oscar now makes the tag.
04:48The first question I have is, what does Liv Morgan think about this, well, new team of Raquel and Roxanne that seem to be getting along?
04:56The fact that the Judgment Day have all the gold since she's been gone, out with a shoulder injury that was caused in a match with Kyrie.
05:02Well, since you seem hell-bent on sowing seeds of dissension, Cole, I'm going to answer your question with another question.
05:07What could Liv Morgan possibly have to be upset about?
05:10Everything within the Judgment Day right now is coming up gold.
05:13And now Asuka with a sleeper, and Raquel tries to bury her in the corner.
05:16Yeah, it's coming up gold, and perhaps that wasn't quite the case when Liv was around, at least for part of the group.
05:22And here's Roxanne Perez, who Liv Morgan may think, nice side Russian leg swoop, his cover now, hook of the leg.
05:29You think Liv thinks that Roxanne swooped in and made her way into the Judgment Day?
05:34Well, it's easy to assume that was what Liv felt initially, but look, Roxanne Perez continues to prove herself worthy of the Tag Team Championships,
05:41of being a member of the Judgment Day, of being alongside Dirty Dom.
05:45Roxanne shouldn't need to prove anything else to anybody.
05:48Roxanne Perez, who's at a hell of a year here in 2025, and Asuka now unloading.
05:53The Empress of Tomorrow, multi-time world champion, and Asuka having her way.
05:58A lot of kicks right to the bridge of Roxanne Perez's nose.
06:03Curious to see what the Empress and the Pirate Princess have learned in the last 24 hours since they last encountered the champs.
06:09It's the first match together in over a year and a half on Monday Night Raw.
06:16Remember the last time that a traditional tag team match, that is.
06:20They, of course, were in the Fatal 4-Way last night.
06:24Kyrie now cover.
06:25Last time they held the tag titles back at Backlash.
06:28And Lyon France in 2024, the night Asuka injured her knee and missed 13 months of action.
06:35And the Empress thus far seems to have returned to the form.
06:39What about Dominic Mysterio, who's out here in support of Raquel and Roxanne?
06:43What do you think Liv thinks about that, that her boyfriend is out here hanging out with Roxanne and company?
06:47Well, listen, I don't appreciate you implying any sort of infidelity on behalf of Dirty Dom.
06:52Hitting, here's the cover by Kyrie Sane.
06:55Dirty Dom is out here to offer protection and to display unity amongst the Judgment Day.
07:00Dirty Dom has cheated on how many people here in WWE?
07:04Hey, hey, hey, just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu, Cole, all right?
07:08You need to take it easy.
07:09And Kyrie out to the apron as Roxanne misses wildly.
07:13Kyrie Sane looking for a cover here.
07:14Roxanne trying to hang on.
07:16And able to.
07:17Tag made.
07:17Here's Roxanne.
07:18What do you expect Dom to do?
07:19Just get his animal magnetism under control?
07:21You think he could just turn that off?
07:24Dude, Liv Morgan is watching this.
07:27I guarantee it she is.
07:28I'm sure she understands.
07:30And now look at this.
07:31Kyrie Sane trying to wrestle Raquel down to the mat.
07:32Asuka getting involved as well.
07:34Asuka rolled through.
07:35Now arm bar.
07:36Double submission here.
07:39This could be trouble for the champs.
07:41And Raquel trying to power out of this.
07:43And look at this.
07:44With one arm, Raquel Rodriguez landing Sane on Asuka.
07:48No, but with Kyrie hanging on.
07:51Maybe not too long.
07:55Man, Raquel's so powerful.
07:58Yeah, we see it, Dom.
07:59We see it.
07:59It was good.
08:00I thought you were supposed to be in the hospital.
08:03It's not clear.
08:03Man, I'm so impressed with the growth of Raquel Rodriguez here.
08:17The powerhouse Rodriguez who won that fatal four-way last night with the Tejana bomb.
08:21I think it boils down to confidence.
08:23And I think the Judgment Day as a unit growing stronger has sort of lent itself to Raquel.
08:28And so you admit it.
08:29The Judgment Day has grown stronger since Liv Morgan's been gone.
08:32I didn't say anything about Liv Morgan.
08:34I was just talking about recent events very generally.
08:37No, you basically said Judgment Day has gotten stronger.
08:40That was the quote.
08:41Listen, I didn't know they taught gotcha journalism at Syracuse, Cole.
08:44Come on now.
08:45Look at this.
08:46Raquel with a splash in the corner to Kyrie Sane.
08:49Great double team now by Judgment Day.
08:51Roxanne Perez as feisty as they come.
08:54Side-rushing legs.
08:54We've helped out by the boot by Raquel.
08:56Cover now.
08:57Hook of the leg.
08:59And a kick out.
09:00Hey, Dom, have you talked to Liv lately?
09:02How's she doing?
09:03She's doing great.
09:04Doing great.
09:04What does she think about you being out here tonight?
09:07What does she think about you being out here tonight?
09:10Of course, she doesn't answer the question.
09:12I told you on multiple occasions, Cole.
09:14Remember what happened with Pat and Gunther.
09:15I'm not gonna defend you when Dirty Dom loses it on you.
09:19Talk about that man's old lady.
09:21Anything that happens to you is fair game.
09:22Oscar trying to make a tag, realizing Kyrie's in trouble.
09:25Roxanne Perez, she has got a mean streak in her a mile wide.
09:29And look at this.
09:31The prophecy of Booker T continues to ring true.
09:34His prized student, the Prodigy, making waves throughout WWE.
09:41And Judgment Day doing a great job isolating Kyrie Sane from Oscar.
09:46You wanna bring up Liv Morgan and how she must be disappointed for whatever reason.
09:50Liv is probably grinning ear to ear right now, watching Roxanne do her bidding.
09:54Remember, Liv and the rest of the Judgment Day still blame Kyrie for Liv's injury.
09:58You do remember Roxanne Perez pinned Liv Morgan in the Queen of the Ring tournament, right?
10:02I mean, hints Kyrie to take the win away from Liv Morgan in the tournament.
10:06You are obsessed with arguing semantics, Cole, all right?
10:10Listen, the name of the game, you gotta do what you gotta do.
10:13And there's Raquel Rodriguez, who's doing what she has to do,
10:17continuing to punish and beat down Kyrie Sane.
10:20Big, heavy body shot, dropped the pirate princess.
10:23Raquel, of course, a record holder as well.
10:26Five times she's held the Women's Tag Team titles.
10:30Cover, I'm saying, Kyrie's gotta get the shoulder up.
10:33Kyrie trying to make a tag.
10:47Raquel trying to prevent it from happening.
10:49But an arm length away, but Raquel Rodriguez again keeps sane, grounded.
10:54Monday Night Raw live tonight.
11:09Birmingham, Alabama, over 10,000 in attendance for Raquel Rodriguez.
11:14Roxanne Perez of the Judgment Day against the Kabuki Warriors.
11:16Tag, here comes Roxanne.
11:17Unique counter by Kyrie Sane seems to have jacked the jaw momentarily of Raquel.
11:21And Roxanne came in immediately, thwarting the attempt at the tag.
11:25Oh, and Zagari caught her in the, like a mouth.
11:29And now Asuka makes the tag, and here she comes.
11:38The kicks and strikes of the Empress of Tomorrow.
11:41Asuka blasts Raquel.
11:42Running hip attack, takes Raquel down to the floor.
11:46Watch out, Roxanne.
11:48And now Asuka's fired up.
11:51That was with a big kick in the corner.
11:56And then Raquel runs into a kick as well.
11:59Driven out of the ring.
12:01Ooh, what a knee.
12:02Now sliding knee there, the Shining Wizard cover now.
12:07By Asuka, hooks the leg, and Roxanne's got a kick out.
12:12Gotta give credit where it's due to Roxanne Perez, who's proven herself to be double tough recently.
12:16And speaking about credit, does Finn Balor deserve credit?
12:20The de facto leader of the Judgment Day seems to have them working on all cylinders.
12:23Absolutely.
12:24I think Finn definitely deserves some credit.
12:26Perhaps a few thank yous.
12:28You don't think that he's manipulating the rest of the group?
12:33Perhaps a- And now Karrie Sane, cover for the win.
12:38And Raquel Rodriguez breaking things up.
12:41Cole, you and your conspiracy theories get worse by the week.
12:44Next week you're gonna try to tell me the Earth's flat.
12:46This is ridiculous.
12:47You think Finn really cares about them?
12:48Raquel up over the top to the floor.
12:50I think Finn cares about the Judgment Day as a whole.
12:53Tag.
12:53And the Judgment Day as a whole right now draped in gold.
12:58No denying that.
12:59Dominik the Intercontinental Champion.
13:02Judgment Day, both the women and men's tag team champions.
13:06Now the Kabuki Warriors starting to work well as a team.
