00:00:00This is for the women's tag team titles. Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez have been dominating Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.
00:00:07Again, a strange team formed tonight between people who hated one another the last couple of weeks, Bayley and Lyra.
00:00:12It was just last week a two out of three falls match that determined to be one contender for Becky Lynch's Intercontinental Championship.
00:00:18It was Lyra against Bayley. They took one another to the limit.
00:00:21Again, the winner of this match gets a dated SummerSlam with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss from Friday Night SmackDown.
00:00:26Power of Raquel Rodriguez. Man, she's so dominating.
00:00:32And now Roxanne Perez. Springboard moonsault. Second rope cover now to retain and a kickout.
00:00:40I asked you a bit earlier. I want to get into this in a moment as we take another look.
00:00:44The slingshot suplex a la Telly Blanchard followed up by a beautiful moonsault by the prodigy.
00:00:51See Roxanne in the ring.
00:00:53I feel like Dominic was showing her some goo-goo eyes earlier on.
00:00:59So I'm wondering if Dominic has a thing for Roxanne. That's what I'm asking.
00:01:02Okay, Dominic is spoken for, Michael Cole.
00:01:06Dominic is an honest, hard-working, proud Intercontinental Champion.
00:01:10And doesn't need you casting aspersions and asking questions and starting outright lies and rumors.
00:01:16Well, listen, I actually called Liv Morgan today to try to find out what she thought about this.
00:01:19Why are you calling Dirty Dom's old lady?
00:01:21She didn't answer the phone.
00:01:22Oh! Dom, did you hear this nonsense?
00:01:26And now, tagged by Roxanne.
00:01:28Lyra trying to make a tag to Bailey.
00:01:30And again, Roxanne Perez preventing Lyra from making it across the ring.
00:01:34Lyra Valkyria creates some space.
00:01:36Can she make the tag?
00:01:37And she does.
00:01:38And here comes Bailey.
00:01:41And Bailey on fire now.
00:01:44Looking in what has been a frustrating few months.
00:01:47Nice back suplex.
00:01:53Bailey into the corner.
00:01:55Very interesting response from the WWE Universe here in Houston.
00:01:58They don't know what to make of this Bailey either.
00:02:00It's bizarre.
00:02:01Oh!
00:02:02You and I have both known Bailey over 10 years.
00:02:04This is a side of her that we never knew existed.
00:02:07Well, and it's completely different from what we've experienced with her the last few weeks.
00:02:13Just doesn't add up.
00:02:15And Bailey's sunset flip bomb!
00:02:18Roxanne Perez hit the corner hard.
00:02:19Bailey now trying to win the Women's Tag Team titles!
00:02:22Perez at two!
00:02:26Come on, Sam, come on!
00:02:26Dominic in no way looks hurt or injured to me.
00:02:31At all.
00:02:32Are you an internist?
00:02:34Well, I mean, but he's moving around pretty well out here.
00:02:36And Bailey now delivering the shoulders to the mixed section of Roxanne Perez.
00:02:43Roxanne moves out of harm's way.
00:02:45If it weren't for Hippola, I'd have to...
00:02:47Oh!
00:02:49Raquel with a clothesline as Roxanne distracted the official.
00:02:53Tag made.
00:02:54Here comes Rodriguez.
00:02:56Tag made once again.
00:03:00The prodigy legal for the judgment day.
00:03:03And again, look at the power of Raquel.
00:03:05Man, that was incredible!
00:03:07Second time!
00:03:09Slingshot suplex placed perfectly.
00:03:12In position for the prodigy.
00:03:14How's that for alliteration?
00:03:15Oh!
00:03:15That springboard moonsault and Bailey got the knees up his chair...
00:03:22Corey's chair broke at ringside he was so excited.
00:03:25And Bailey now with a running leg.
00:03:27Cover now!
00:03:27Can they win the Tag Titles?
00:03:29Almost kick out!
00:03:30Are you okay?
00:03:31I'll live.
00:03:33Yeah, wait for the doctor to medically clear Dom.
00:03:35Have them take a look at me, too.
00:03:38Feel like something happening inside.
00:03:39I still look fine, though.
00:03:41Tag made.
00:03:42Here's Lyra.
00:03:43Lyra fired up now.
00:03:45From the top rope.
00:03:46Valkyria!
00:03:47With a leg drop!
00:03:49Across the back of Perez's neck.
00:03:52Now Raquel and Bailey fighting outside the ring.
00:03:55Official down for the count and a kick out at two.
00:03:57There's chaotic moments in this Tag Team Championship match.
00:04:03Raquel bounced off the post out there.
00:04:06Lyra going for the night wing.
00:04:07And Roxanne able to drill her into the corner.
00:04:12Perez now just teeing off on Valkyria in the corner.
00:04:16Vicarious position for both women.
00:04:22Lyra answers with a heavy right of her own.
00:04:24Yeah, Lyra throwing a tremendous amount of resilience in her career.
00:04:28And now, Roxanne trying to hook her.
00:04:30Lyra able to slip underneath.
00:04:32And now with Roxanne up top, Lyra going to sit out powerbomb!
00:04:37Not quite sure why she didn't go for the cover there.
00:04:40But she makes the tag to Bailey.
00:04:42And I guess perhaps she's going to try to give Bailey the victory.
00:04:46And Bailey now!
00:04:47With the elbow for the top rope!
00:04:48Cover for Bailey!
00:04:50Raquel Rodriguez breaks up the near fall.
00:04:53I'm baffled, Cole.
00:04:55As many matches as you and I have called,
00:04:57I have never seen anything break down quite like this.
00:04:59It just doesn't make sense.
00:05:01Well, I think Lyra's still trying to figure out what the hell Bailey's all about
00:05:04as they work now together as a double team!
00:05:07I'm going to tell you a secret.
00:05:08If you're still trying to figure out how to get along with your tag team partner,
00:05:11your odds of becoming tag team champions go from suit to not...
00:05:14Oh, now there's that idiot Dom up on the apron.
00:05:16Bailey just scared him.
00:05:18Bailey yelled to Dom.
00:05:19Now a roll-up!
00:05:21Roxanne's got the tights!
00:05:23Did Bailey kick out?
00:05:23Yes, at two.
00:05:26Bailey now with a knee.
00:05:29Roxanne right in the nose.
00:05:31Hit him!
00:05:31Hit him!
00:05:31Hit him!
00:05:32Hit him!
00:05:34Not cleared.
00:05:35Oh, Raquel!
00:05:36Oh, no!
00:05:39Well, Dominic may not be cleared now.
00:05:40Inadvertently kicking the face of Mysterio.
00:05:44Raquel going for Lyra.
00:05:47Dom, are you okay?
00:05:49We need a doctor out here.
00:05:52Get medical!
00:05:52Get medical!
00:05:53An internist for sure.
00:05:55Yeah, Raquel asking for medical.
00:05:57Meanwhile, Lyra Valkyrie and Raquel!
00:05:59Well, drop kick right on the money.
00:06:03Bailey in the ring.
00:06:05Get somebody out here to help Dom.
00:06:06Something may have ruptured.
00:06:08And a collision!
00:06:09Oh, no!
00:06:10Oh!
00:06:10Both women are down!
00:06:12Critical moment, and finally, medical personnel rushing out here to check on Dirty Dom.
00:06:18Hold his C-spine.
00:06:26Oh, no!
00:06:27Oh, no!
00:06:29C-P-R!
00:06:31Dr. AJ!
00:06:33Dominic!
00:06:34Run over the hills!
00:06:37Oh, AJ's talking to him.
00:06:38Look at him!
00:06:39And Becky Lynch, where the hell did she come from?
00:06:42Dragging Lyra off the apron!
00:06:46Into the steps!
00:06:50Becky Lynch from out of nowhere, Bailey with no one to tag!
00:06:55Drops in from behind!
00:06:57One, two, three!
00:06:59And Bailey kicks it, two!
00:07:01Reversal!
00:07:01Kick out by Roxanne!
00:07:07Tag!
00:07:09I don't think Bailey realizes that Raquel's legal for the judgment day!
00:07:12Bailey to Bailey!
00:07:13Doesn't matter!
00:07:13Doesn't matter!
00:07:13Roxanne not legal!
00:07:15But Raquel is!
00:07:16Tojana bomb!
00:07:18With authority!
00:07:19Stock her up!
00:07:21Raquel and Roxanne will defend at SummerSlam!
00:07:23Here are your winners, and still the Women's Tag Team Champions!
00:07:33Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne!
00:07:36Hooray!
00:07:37Hooray!
00:07:37Hooray!
00:07:37Hooray!
00:07:38Hooray!
00:07:38Hooray!
00:07:39Again, a week from Saturday, the epic two-night SummerSlam begins, and Raquel and Roxanne will
00:07:44defend the Women's Tag Team Titles against SmackDown, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam.
00:07:52And Bailey's bad luck continues, Becky Lynch attacking Lyra of Alcuria toward the end of the matchup, puts it back to Jackie Redman.
00:08:05Cole, thank you so much.
00:08:06Sammy, you are moments away from facing Karrion Kross, but I gotta tell ya, I'm a little surprised to see you here.
00:08:13I mean, I know you beat Karrion at Night of Champions, but since then, you've endured a ton of physical punishment.
00:08:21In fact, last we heard, you're supposed to be out indefinitely.
00:08:26Are you sure that you wanna do this?
00:08:28Look, Jackie, I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you I'm 100% medically.
00:08:31I probably could've used a little bit more time, but honestly, this does not need to drag on any longer.
00:08:36I'm done dealing with this.
00:08:38Because it was one thing when Kross was talking and lurking in the shadows with his cryptic messages, and he's trying to corrupt me, or whatever it is he's trying to do.
00:08:46But now he's getting in the way of my goals.
00:08:48I missed last week because of him.
00:08:51You know what would've happened last week?
00:08:53I would've been in that gauntlet match.
00:08:55I could've won that gauntlet match.
00:08:56I could've had a world championship opportunity.
00:08:59And he took that away from me.
00:09:01So as far as I'm concerned, we don't need to wait another week, two weeks, three weeks, months.
00:09:06I'm gonna deal with this tonight.
00:09:09In fact, I'm fixing to deal with it right now.
00:09:20Well, Sami Zayn, of course, from Canada, you upset a lot of people from Canada, claiming that Texas was bigger than Canada.
00:09:26I was using it as a point of reference, Cole.
00:09:28I didn't insult the place.
00:09:29A lot of Canadians took it as an insult.
00:09:33The following contest is scheduled for one goal.
00:09:40Introducing first, from Montreal, Cuban, Canada, winged at 212 pounds, Sami Zayn.
00:09:52The ribs are still taped after the assault by Cross and the steel pipe, and then, of course, the spear by Breaker a few weeks ago.
00:10:00Sami and Cross, live on Netflix.
00:10:10At less than 100%, to deal with somebody as dangerous as Karrion Kross.
00:10:15This is classic Sami Zayn, though.
00:10:16This is what Sami does.
00:10:17He defies the odds.
00:10:19He fights through the pain.
00:10:20The guy's got more heart than brains.
00:10:22That's no secret.
00:10:23I just think Sami may live to regret it.
00:10:25Well, that's why the WWE fans, like the nearly 13,000 in Houston tonight, appreciate Sami Zayn, cheer and back Sami Zayn.
00:10:36Of course, you know what his number one goal is, Corey?
00:10:39That's to win a world championship here in WWE, but he admits he has to put those plans on the back burner to deal with this Karrion Kross situation.
00:10:47Well, Sami believes, as he said moments ago, that he would have taken part in last week's gauntlet match had he been healthy and able.
00:10:52Had he been healthy.
00:10:58time
00:11:00time
00:11:02to run
00:11:04Therefore, no passa
00:11:09time
00:11:10time
00:11:11time
00:11:12time
00:12:43Now, Sammy's going to suffer.
00:12:44There is a new number one top star in this industry.
00:13:36Oh, my God!
00:13:59I guarantee you will not forgive.
00:14:01And Roman Reigns will not forget.
00:14:05The OTC, the original Tribal Chief, is back live tonight on Raw.
00:14:10And a big week of podcasts in WWE as we march toward SummerSlam.
00:14:17Of course, Cody Rhodes went with Nikki Bella, part of his podcast.
00:14:20Raw recap will take place tomorrow with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, the guests of the New Day.
00:14:26Plenty to talk about on Monday Night Raw, including this match between Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross here tonight, live on Netflix.
00:14:33I ain't playing with no lanes, homie, this is not a game.
00:14:37Me and you are not the same.
00:14:39AJ.
00:14:40Y'all seen AJ?
00:14:41Paul Blart, mall cop looking at it.
00:14:43Come on.
00:14:44What's going on?
00:14:45You guys seen AJ Styles anywhere?
00:14:46Hey, don't worry.
00:14:47You're with France now.
00:14:48AJ's nowhere around here, okay?
00:14:50Don't worry.
00:14:50Calm down.
00:14:51We're good.
00:14:51I don't know.
00:14:52He's been harassing me all week with the whole day.
00:14:54What the hell?
00:14:55I'm done.
00:14:56Look, today's the day.
00:14:57What day?
00:14:58What day?
00:14:58You're stalling all day long and you want to stall some more.
00:15:00But let me tell you something.
00:15:01This day's going to end one of two ways.
00:15:02Either you're going to give me that Intercontinental title and I'll find a new champion,
00:15:06or you're going to walk with me to medical and you're going to get that doctor's evaluation.
00:15:09Am I clear?
00:15:11Like now?
00:15:11Like now.
00:15:12This is my time.
00:15:13I will see you in medical.
00:15:14I hope.
00:15:21Hey, make sure you get us some lollipops.
00:15:24Well, Pierce done playing games on social media, put his foot down here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:15:30Meanwhile, Karrion Kross, Sami Zayn, one-on-one.
00:15:33Sami Zayn, it rips heavily taped.
00:15:35That because of the attack with a steel pipe by Karrion Kross a couple of weeks ago.
00:15:40Remember, Corey, Sami Zayn beat Karrion Kross back at night at Champions the end of last month
00:15:45and thought he was through.
00:15:47Kross said, no way, it's not over till I say it's over.
00:15:51A borderline obsession for Karrion Kross to have Sami Zayn admit that there is evil within.
00:15:58But what if there isn't evil within Sami?
00:16:01What if...
00:16:01Sami's human.
00:16:02That's Kross's entire point.
00:16:06Sami wants the WWE Universe to believe that he's this virtuous hero,
00:16:10that he's never had a negative thought about anybody.
00:16:13Ask Kevin Owens about how evil Sami Zayn is.
00:16:15I don't think Sami Zayn's ever said that.
00:16:17Sami Zayn has never come out and said he's never had a negative thought or an evil thought about anyone.
00:16:21Sami Zayn's just trying to live his life this way now and Karrion Kross trying to not allow that to happen.
00:16:26And Sami now with a nice suplex and again the ribs giving him issues.
00:16:31Kross is a psychopath, bottom line.
00:16:33He believes that no one is innocent.
00:16:36I think Kross certainly has a unique world view.
00:16:41I wouldn't necessarily call him a psycho!
00:16:43He expects everyone else to play by the rules but himself as he delivers that high elbow to Sami Zayn.
00:16:50Now Kross trying to beat up Sami Zayn yet again.
00:16:55A couple of weeks ago the field pipe attack and of course the spears by Breaker in the match with Zayn.
00:17:04Injuring the rib section even more.
00:17:07No telling how bad the internal injuries are within Sami.
00:17:13However bad they are, they're going to be a lot worse after this encounter with Karrion Kross.
00:17:17Unlike Dominic Mysterio, Sami Zayn is out here fighting tonight.
00:17:22Zayn is whipped across the ring with authority and collapses in the corner.
00:17:25So is it safe to admit that Dominic is a more intelligent competitor than Sami Zayn?
00:17:30I think he's a coward.
00:17:32And Sami just doubles over in pain again as he drops to one knee.
00:17:36And it's mindsets like yours that force Sami into these situations.
00:17:41You call Dirty Dom a coward but you think Sami Zayn's a hero.
00:17:44That's all Kross is trying to say is that Sami isn't what he thinks he is.
00:17:47And Sami Zayn fighting back however.
00:17:50Hey, this ability, this heart, this resilience from Sami Zayn endears himself.
00:17:55Listen to the nearly 13,000 in his corner here tonight.
00:17:59And one day I believe will will Sami Zayn to a world championship.
00:18:02Which is the ultimate goal for this man that he's had to put on the back burner because of this guy Kross.
00:18:07Listen, I will never argue the connection that Sami Zayn has with the WWE Universe.
00:18:12It is indisputable.
00:18:13The fact is the WWE Universe can force Sami into hazardous situations like this.
00:18:19Like competing at less than 100% against someone intent on tearing his head off.
00:18:23Yeah, and Sami going out to the apron now.
00:18:26Look at this Arabian press.
00:18:28And down goes Karrion Kross but again to the detriment of Zayn.
00:18:32Who injures his ribs again as he comes off onto the shoulder of Kross.
00:18:37Payne homage to Sami Zayn.
00:18:43Again, doubled over in pain here.
00:18:50Oh, and a cheap shot by Scarlett.
00:18:56This is bad.
00:19:03Sami Zayn in serious trouble here.
00:19:06And the assault on the ribs continue not only by Kross but again by the mystical scarlet at ringside.
00:19:13Who delivered a boot, toe over boot right to the ribs.
00:19:15And now Sami driven into the steel steps.
00:19:18And at some point, our official tonight, Sean Bennett may want to check on Sami Zayn and see if he can continue.
00:19:24Because this is turning into an absolute massacre.
00:19:26It's going to continue to get worse for Sami Zayn.
00:19:31As Karrion Kross settles in, this man is a world-class grappler.
00:19:36Well-versed in various martial arts.
00:19:39Yeah, he was a bare-knuckle champion around the world.
00:19:42Brown belt as well.
00:19:44And Kross with a kick again to Zayn.
00:19:46And above all, Kross enjoys inflicting punishment on the opposition.
00:19:52Good night, Sami.
00:19:55And again, what's frightening is that there's many people out there that are in Kross' corner.
00:20:00Covering a kick out by Zayn that rallied behind him that believe in what he says.
00:20:04There's a lot of truth in the words of Karrion Kross.
00:20:07Sometimes you have to look a little harder to find the meaning.
00:20:10But there is truth.
00:20:12Hey, if you're a sicko, I guess.
00:20:14Now, why would you paint everyone with the same brush, Cole?
00:20:18Kross now.
00:20:20A couple of right hands to Sami.
00:20:22Carefully measured on the eyebrow of Sami who forces his way out.
00:20:26And Sami just teeing off right now.
00:20:28Again, right there.
00:20:30Microcosm of what Sami Zayn is all about.
00:20:32I mean, he probably should have taken a few more weeks off.
00:20:38Well, there's no probably about it.
00:20:40Even by Sami's own admittance, he could have taken some more time off.
00:20:43He could have used some more time off.
00:20:44But Sami is so obsessed with the spotlight and making a climb toward a world championship.
00:20:50Dropping Sami Zayn in the back of his head.
00:20:52Cover now.
00:20:53Is it enough for a win here?
00:20:54And Zayn stays in it.
00:20:55Sami's willing to sacrifice his own well-being.
00:20:57He's willing to step into the lion's den while he's already bleeding.
00:21:01Well, he's hurt enough for Kross.
00:21:03He wants to finally shut him up.
00:21:04Is Kross now again with the leg scissors applied to the injured midsection of Zayn.
00:21:09Just wearing Zayn out.
00:21:10Great strategy by Kross.
00:21:12Kross using his powerful legs to squeeze the breath out of Sami Zayn.
00:21:16Inflicting further damage to the injured ribs.
00:21:22Sami's in trouble.
00:21:31You got to give Karrion Kross credit live here on Raw and Netflix from the Toyota Center in Houston.
00:21:37Kross targeting the ribs, the injured midsection of Sami Zayn throughout much of this matchup.
00:21:43And it's just wearing Zayn down.
00:21:46This is exactly what Karrion Kross wants to do.
00:21:48Keep this pace slow, methodical, and painful.
00:21:51And again, you mentioned earlier, all Kross wants to do is beat Zayn to the point where he can finally admit that he has a dark side.
00:22:02Say it!
00:22:03Say it, Sami!
00:22:05And you hear Kross saying, say it, Sami.
00:22:07Say it.
00:22:07Admit it.
00:22:08What a throw by Kross.
00:22:10And that's what this is all about.
00:22:11It's what it all boils down to.
00:22:13An admission from Sami Zayn.
00:22:15And that's what Kross is after.
00:22:18And I don't think Kross is going to stop Corey until he gets what he wants.
00:22:24Exploder launching Zayn halfway across the ring.
00:22:30At what point is Kross just going to get frustrated and give up when Sami Zayn doesn't tell him what he wants to hear?
00:22:34I don't know if that is going to happen, Cole.
00:22:36I mean, Karrion Kross savers the suffering of his opponents.
00:22:41But Sami refusing to stay down, somehow finding the will to soldier forward.
00:22:48Zayn trying to feed off the WWE fans.
00:22:51Sami in the corner.
00:22:53Serious pain.
00:22:54Elbow to the face of Kross.
00:22:55And Zayn looking to rally now.
00:22:58Got to keep Kross at a distance here.
00:23:03And Zayn going to climb the top rope.
00:23:07Tornado DDT!
00:23:08I don't know how Sami does it.
00:23:10Can he put him away?
00:23:11Hooks both legs!
00:23:13Kross at two!
00:23:16Take another look at this.
00:23:18Classic Sami Zayn walking the ropes.
00:23:21Tornado DDT.
00:23:22Taking down Kross, but unable to finish the job just yet.
00:23:26But this is what Kross wanted to avoid.
00:23:30And Sami building momentum.
00:23:34Adrenaline beginning to pulse through the body of Sami Zayn.
00:23:38Look at Kross.
00:23:42Kross just so big, so imposing, so strong.
00:23:46Just bulldozing Sami back to the corner.
00:23:48And now focusing on the injured ribs.
00:23:53Thing's about to go from bad to worse for the underdog from the underground.
00:23:57This is that methodical style that Kross loves.
00:24:02Just beat down, punish your opponent.
00:24:05It's like a puzzle for Karrion Kross.
00:24:07He lives for this.
00:24:08To figure out ways to hurt his opponents.
00:24:11Different ways, new ways, different variations.
00:24:14It's what Kross is all about.
00:24:16He's looking for a superplex there.
00:24:18But Sami, again, his ribs exposed.
00:24:20The tape has been rolled up on his body.
00:24:23Zayn's still fighting back.
00:24:24Sami's not going to do this.
00:24:26Sami's going to hurt himself here.
00:24:28Sunset flip-bomb!
00:24:29Cover by Zayn!
00:24:30Is it enough?
00:24:31No!
00:24:32Kick at two!
00:24:35Oh, look at what Scarlett's got.
00:24:38Steel pipe in hand.
00:24:40That Kross is used against Zayn in the past.
00:24:43Sean Bennett tied up with Sami Zayn for the moment.
00:24:51And now Scarlett Knight able to hand off the baton, so to speak, to Kross.
00:24:56Sami's ribs playing a factor, as we expected they would.
00:25:00Looking for the exploder.
00:25:01And he has it up and drops Kross on the back of his neck.
00:25:06Effective, though.
00:25:07And now Scarlett placing the pipe into the hands of Kross.
00:25:10The official Sean Bennett back there with Zayn.
00:25:13Checking on Sami Zayn's well-being.
00:25:17Sami.
00:25:20Setting up for a haluma kick.
00:25:22Scarlett grabs his leg.
00:25:24Bennett dealing with Scarlett now.
00:25:27And Kross with a punt to the ribs!
00:25:30That has got to do it.
00:25:32It's deep, and I don't think it's playable.
00:25:35One, two, three!
00:25:36Kross with the win.
00:25:40Here is your winner, Karrion Kross!
00:25:48A controversial victory, but a victory nonetheless.
00:25:51Kross uses a steel pipe to the injured ribs of Sami Zayn.
00:25:56And picks up a victory tonight.
00:25:58But, Zayn still has not said what Kross wants him to say.
00:26:03Let's take another look.
00:26:04As Sami delivers an exploder to Kross in the corner.
00:26:09Scarlett would deliver the steel pipe and then create a diversion.
00:26:14Grabbing the ankle of Sami Zayn.
00:26:18And as Sami came in presumably to deliver a haluma kick,
00:26:21he is met with steel to the damaged ribs.
00:26:24And the beatings, unfortunately, will continue until an admission is made.
00:26:33What a win for this duo.
00:26:35Just say it!
00:26:38Say it!
00:26:39Is he done?
00:26:41They're almost done.
00:26:42I had to fight with him to get him in there.
00:26:44How long has this got to take him?
00:26:45Hey, hey, hey!
00:26:46Here he is!
00:26:47He still burns when he plays.
00:26:48What is it?
00:26:49Really?
00:26:49Listen, we finished the evaluation for Dom.
00:26:52And?
00:26:52But I still need to finish up some of this paperwork before I can give you an official answer.
00:26:55So what?
00:26:56We're waiting still?
00:26:57Just waiting a few more moments.
00:26:58How much longer?
00:26:58Oh!
00:26:59Get up!
00:27:01Back up!
00:27:04Oh.
00:27:06Look in here, look in here.
00:27:07Adam, AJ, I am cleared.
00:27:11And I will see you at SummerSlam.
00:27:14Give me some help over here.
00:27:20Dom, come here.
00:27:21Here's what happened here.
00:27:22Typical Dom.
00:27:22A-A-A-J, you good?
00:27:23Typical.
00:27:23Dom, as usual.
00:27:24Sneak attack from behind.
00:27:26Listen, the important thing here is that Dirty Dom is cleared and going to defend at SummerSlam.
00:27:31That is huge news.
00:27:37And this showdown we are in store for, Cole.
00:27:40This is huge news, too.
00:27:44The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:27:53Introducing first, from Tokyo, Japan, EO Sky.
00:28:02For the first time EO and Stephanie met, there was no conclusion to the matchup.
00:28:07Tonight, EO Sky, one-on-one with Stephanie McCare, live on Netflix.
00:28:14And the last time EO comes out in the matchup, she went to the matchup.
00:28:20Here's what happened here.
00:28:21We're here.
00:28:22Here's what happened there.
00:28:22Here's what happened here.
00:28:23Here's the matchup.
00:28:24Here's what happened here.
00:28:24There's what happened here.
00:28:25EO Sky, the former Women's World Champion.
00:28:41Of course, Naomi cashed in on EO at Evolution.
00:28:44But EO now with an opportunity to win that title back in a triple threat match
00:28:48with Naomi and Rhea Ripley.
00:28:50A week from Saturday as the epic two-night SummerSlam
00:28:54gets underway at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
00:28:59Well, if you want to stay at the very tip-top of your game,
00:29:02you want to keep your skill set sharp,
00:29:04you compete against the best in the game.
00:29:07That's exactly what EO is about to do tonight.
00:29:10That's one thing about EO Sky.
00:29:11She will not back down from a challenge.
00:29:13She has wowed the WWE Universe since arriving on the scene here a number of years ago.
00:29:19Now a two-time world champion.
00:29:22EO Sky, the genius of the sky.
00:29:28What a match her and Rhea put on it.
00:29:30Evolution.
00:29:31And no doubt about it.
00:29:32A classic for sure.
00:29:35Of course, with Naomi becoming the biggest beneficiary of that instant classic.
00:29:40She's letting the world know about it too, isn't she?
00:29:42She sure is.
00:29:43And eight long years since they only held the gold.
00:30:48It'll come on the final day of August in Paris, France, at Clash in Paris.
00:30:56Will she face Naomi?
00:30:57Will she face Io Sky?
00:30:59Will she face Rhea Ripley?
00:31:00We find that out at SummerSlam.
00:31:02Clash in Paris and Monday Night Raw are coming to La Defense Arena in Paris on Saturday, August 31st.
00:31:07And Monday, September 1st, combo tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:31:12Actually, it's Sunday, Sunday, August 31st for Clash in Paris.
00:31:37And we are in the Bayou City tonight, Space City.
00:31:50This is Houston, Texas.
00:31:52We're downtown at the Toyota Center, which is sold out with nearly 13,000 on hand tonight.
00:32:00And here ringside is Bay City, Texas' own That Mexican OT.
00:32:07His new single, Baby Mad at Me, featuring Lil Wayne, is available right now on Spotify and Apple Music.
00:32:14And also here in the front row, none other than that man, Houston icon, Mattress Mac, is here tonight.
00:32:22Of course, the legend, the owner of Gallery Furniture, huge Houston sports fan, Mattress Mac, front row for Monday Night Raw.
00:32:30Hey, Bruce, chat me up about Mattress Mac.
00:32:32Do you need a new mattress?
00:32:34And here we go.
00:32:35EO, Stephanie, one-on-one tonight.
00:32:37Remember, they've only met one time in their career.
00:32:40That was back at the end of April.
00:32:41It ended up in an old contest with a lot of interference around the ring tonight.
00:32:45They hope to settle the score.
00:32:47And this could be a preview of what we'll see the final day of August in Paris at Clash in Paris.
00:32:53Maquerre, of course, earning herself a world title opportunity by winning the Women's Battle Royal at Evolution.
00:32:57Any time you've got arguably two of the best women's wrestlers on the planet Earth competing in the same ring,
00:33:04there is potential for fireworks and magic.
00:33:07It is perfectly okay to expect that out of the genius of the sky in La Primera.
00:33:12I would like to offer my congratulations tonight to none other than J.C. Jane,
00:33:18who not only is the NXT Women's Champion, but also the TNA Knockouts Champion.
00:33:22You're looking at my notes, Cole?
00:33:23I just wrote that down, yeah.
00:33:25Because Maquerre was the last double champion in NXT.
00:33:28Indeed.
00:33:28Maquerre held the NXT Women's Title and the NXT North American Championship at the same time.
00:33:33J.C. Jane pulling off the feet at TNA Slammiversary.
00:33:36An incredible show in Bridgeport last night.
00:33:39Oh, and from here on out, we refer to that place as Trick NA.
00:33:42Yeah, and Trick, of course, still the TNA Champion.
00:33:45AJ Styles made an incredible return last night as well to TNA.
00:33:48TNA!
00:33:48TNA!
00:33:49Great electricity for this matchup tonight between Io and Stephanie.
00:33:56Two of the best in the world.
00:33:58Never crossed paths, however, Corey, until they met here in WWE a couple of months ago.
00:34:03Well, if you're a fan of the Graps, as we say, you've been expecting this.
00:34:08You've been waiting for this for quite some time.
00:34:10And after their first encounter, as you mentioned, ending in a no contest, that's a disappointing finale.
00:34:14You want a decisive winner.
00:34:16Who is the best of the best?
00:34:17Is it Maquerre?
00:34:18Is it Sky?
00:34:19Look at this!
00:34:20Io Sky, of course, who became a superstar in her native Japan before coming over to WWE here in the States.
00:34:27Stephanie Maquerre cut her teeth both in Japan and Mexico for arriving on the scene in WWE just over a year ago.
00:34:35And I don't think I'm out of line by saying that Stephanie Maquerre may be the single hottest superstar in the business right now, male or female.
00:34:44Her ascent to the top of this game happened like it seems overnight.
00:34:49And Maquerre now!
00:34:51Unique offense, Io Sky as well.
00:34:53And Io Sky now sends Maquerre!
00:34:55And Maquerre still hangs on!
00:34:56Look at this!
00:35:00Great defense by Maquerre!
00:35:03Preventing Sky from obtaining the favorable position.
00:35:07And once again, this straight jacket hold locked in.
00:35:10Most likely won't end the match.
00:35:12But can take a lot out of Io Sky in the process.
00:35:15La Primera, Stephanie Maquerre.
00:35:17She can fly, she can grapple.
00:35:19Casadora blocked by Sky.
00:35:21Roll through now, shoulders down.
00:35:23Is it enough?
00:35:23Io's got to kick out at two.
00:35:25What does this mean for Io Sky taking a match like this before?
00:35:28He's so close to SummerSlam in the triple threat for the world title.
00:35:31My best guess is that Io wants to keep her game sharp.
00:35:34Shoulders down, kick out.
00:35:37Io, Rhea, Naomi at SummerSlam a week from Saturday or Sunday.
00:35:42Great pinning combination into the bridge goes Maquerre.
00:35:45And listen, Io knows what she's facing at SummerSlam.
00:35:48She's encountered Rhea many times.
00:35:50Never picked up, or Rhea's never been able to beat Io.
00:35:52But Naomi is the X-Factor in that situation.
00:35:55Io knows she needs to be essentially perfect come SummerSlam if she wants to leave with the Women's World Championship.
00:36:01Yeah, Naomi with one of the greatest cash-ins of the Money in the Bank contract we've seen.
00:36:05Evolution.
00:36:06It's part of that great match between Io and Rhea Ripley.
00:36:10And think about what this means for Stephanie Maquerre, who has a championship opportunity at Clash.
00:36:14Oh, look at Io.
00:36:14My still one here.
00:36:15And Stephanie's got a kick.
00:36:16Think of what it would do for the confidence of the Dark Angel, knowing that she defeated Io Sky, especially if Io wins at SummerSlam.
00:36:24And Maquerre now.
00:36:25Nice takedown.
00:36:26Shoulders down again.
00:36:27Getting pinning combination and a kick out by Sky.
00:36:29Maquerre is so fluid in the ring.
00:36:31All of Stephanie's movements extremely crisp, carefully measured.
00:36:37Big Sky as well.
00:36:39That drop kick drives Stephanie out to the floor.
00:36:45And here comes Io.
00:36:47And Sky suicide dive.
00:36:49Stephanie taken out.
00:36:50And the genius of the Sky starting to fly.
00:36:55Stephanie Maquerre fresh off a victory this past Friday night on SmackDown over Alba Fire of the Secret Purvis.
00:37:03The protection unit, of course, for Chelsea Green.
00:37:05Green!
00:37:09Great situational awareness by Io Sky.
00:37:11Breaking the official Eddie Arango's count.
00:37:14We're going to continue the assault on the outside.
00:37:19Io now.
00:37:20A springboard moonsault as Stephanie moves out of harm's way.
00:37:23And now a kick right the side of the head.
00:37:27Into the ring to break the count.
00:37:32Now Stephanie Maquerre launches herself off the top rope.
00:37:35Flying cross body.
00:37:36Stephanie takes over.
00:37:50And a competitive matchup could go either way between Sky and Maquerre.
00:37:58Stephanie Maquerre provides a unique challenge for Io Sky in that Maquerre is extremely comfortable taking to the Sky, which is usually reserved for Io.
00:38:07That's what Io does best.
00:38:09Stephanie is extremely well versed in the aerial attacks as well.
00:38:12What does Stephanie not do well?
00:38:15That's a great question.
00:38:16I have yet to find a hole in the game of La Primera.
00:38:20Io beats the count of eight.
00:38:22Back into the ring.
00:38:23Referee Eddie Arango working this matchup.
00:38:27Big kick.
00:38:28Takes down Sky.
00:38:28Bounced off the top turnbuckle.
00:38:34Back corner, Stephanie.
00:38:35Come on, let's go.
00:38:36One.
00:38:37Two.
00:38:38Three.
00:38:39Four.
00:38:40Stephanie using almost the full five count there.
00:38:43And that's smart.
00:38:44That comes from experience.
00:38:46Knowing your own timing.
00:38:47Understanding how much damage you can inflict within the allotted five seconds.
00:38:50Are you surprised at how quickly Stephanie Maquerre took to a success here in WWE?
00:38:57As a whole, yes.
00:38:59I was witness to that rise in NXT, most of it at least over the last seven seconds.
00:39:03Cover on the leg drop.
00:39:05And it seemed like in record time, Maquerre was at the top of the card in NXT.
00:39:09And to the surprise of no one who's seen her prior to her arrival, she's making waves on Raw and SmackDown.
00:39:15And an opportunity perhaps to become the Women's World Champion at the end of August in Paris.
00:39:20Now just wearing EO down.
00:39:24Complete control.
00:39:24Look at the confidence in Stephanie's eyes.
00:39:26Took the words right out of my mouth.
00:39:28In the heat of combat, Maquerre is cool as ice right now.
00:39:32She's not stressing.
00:39:33She's not flustered.
00:39:34She's just solving EO Sky step by step.
00:39:37And again, I haven't watched her as closely as you have, Corey.
00:39:40But that's the one thing I've noticed about Maquerre.
00:39:42She never seems out of control.
00:39:44Never seems stressed.
00:39:46Always lives for the moment.
00:39:47Well, you can ask any superstar who's ever competed inside of a ring.
00:39:51One of the most difficult aspects of this business is keeping your composure in the heat of battle.
00:39:56All of the greats have figured out how to do it.
00:39:58Look at this.
00:39:59Look at this fantastic submission attempt by Vaquerre.
00:40:03Got EO Sky's leg trapped.
00:40:05This looks like there's pressure applied on likely the knee of EO Sky as well as the neck and shoulder.
00:40:10And you get what was impressive.
00:40:12And look at, perhaps going for the SVB to put EO Sky away.
00:40:15What was impressive about that move is how just fluidly she moved into it.
00:40:19Effortlessly.
00:40:20And look at now EO Sky with Stephanie up on her shoulders.
00:40:24There's the backdrop.
00:40:25And EO buys herself some time.
00:40:29Both women are down.
00:40:30Critical part of this matchup.
00:40:33Live on Netflix.
00:40:34EO Sky looking to rally here.
00:40:50Live on Monday Night Raw in Houston, Texas.
00:40:52Sold out Toyota Center.
00:40:53The penultimate Raw before SummerSlam a week from Saturday.
00:40:57EO Sky, Stephanie Vaquerre.
00:40:59Sky into the corner.
00:41:00EO Sky so quick.
00:41:02Amazing evasion.
00:41:03Big right hand on the jaw of Vaquerre.
00:41:04EO Sky making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
00:41:07EO now off the top.
00:41:09Lands on her feet.
00:41:10EO might shake their knee.
00:41:13Vaquerre from behind now.
00:41:16Looking to put EO away.
00:41:19EO is up and...
00:41:20Oh!
00:41:21Knees right to the face.
00:41:24Fantastic.
00:41:25Cover for the win.
00:41:26And a kick out by Sky.
00:41:29It almost seemed as though Vaquerre was looking for the SVB backbreaker with the double underhook.
00:41:33But instead throwing a curveball EO's way.
00:41:36Two knees right under the chin.
00:41:38And I like how Stephanie adjusted.
00:41:39She tried to go to the SVP earlier.
00:41:41And EO was able to counter.
00:41:44Change things up there.
00:41:46That's what it takes.
00:41:46It's one of the many reasons Vaquerre has captivated the WWE Universe in short order.
00:41:51Always adding new wrinkles to her game.
00:41:54EO though ducks up.
00:41:55Oh!
00:41:55And wrestles her down to the floor.
00:41:56EO.
00:41:57Crossface locked in now by EO.
00:41:59Just that quickly the tides can turn.
00:42:02And Stephanie.
00:42:03I don't wonder if she's going to tap out here.
00:42:04EO Sky's got it locked in pretty good.
00:42:06Stephanie trying to make it to the bottom rope.
00:42:08Trying to use her long arms to force a break.
00:42:10And we'll do that.
00:42:10One.
00:42:11Two.
00:42:15Vaquerre able to escape.
00:42:16But a great deal of damage was inflicted in the several seconds spent in the crossface.
00:42:20Here comes EO.
00:42:22Oh, look at this.
00:42:226'1-9 into a head scissor and dropping Vaquerre face first on the apron.
00:42:28I think Vaquerre sensed what EO was looking for and was able to put the brakes on to mitigate the impact.
00:42:32But you can't stop this.
00:42:34Bring board moonsault by the genius of the sky.
00:42:37And EO's fired up.
00:42:43And Sky now to the apron.
00:42:45EO making the long climb to the top turnbuckle.
00:42:50Grinning ear to ear.
00:42:52Missile drop kick drives Vaquerre to the mat.
00:42:55And a kip up by EO.
00:43:01We'll be honest.
00:43:02How many mornings have you woken up and done that in your mirror?
00:43:05Never.
00:43:06I don't believe you.
00:43:08And look at this now.
00:43:09Nice takedown by EO.
00:43:11Double stop.
00:43:12Wow.
00:43:12Vaquerre doubled over in pain.
00:43:17Looks like the Dark Angel may have finally met her match in the form of the genius of the sky.
00:43:24There's still work to do.
00:43:25I said it last week.
00:43:26You're looking at one of the best in the world today.
00:43:28EO Sky, the former women's world champion.
00:43:30Went for the bullet train attack.
00:43:32Nobody home.
00:43:33Knees first to the turnbuckle.
00:43:34German suplex released by Vaquerre.
00:43:36Well, I agree with that sentiment you just mentioned.
00:43:39But I'd say we need to double it up.
00:43:40We are looking at two at the very best in the game.
00:43:44No doubt about that.
00:43:45Vaquerre now targeting EO, who's able to move out of the corner.
00:43:48And a German suplex of her own to Vaquerre.
00:43:51So evenly matched these two.
00:43:53And I wonder who's going to find that opening.
00:44:04And what we're seeing is a healthy professional respect from both of these women.
00:44:08I don't want to use the word tentative, but almost cautious in their approaches toward one another because they understand.
00:44:14EO, oh God.
00:44:15Looking for a sunset flip bomb here.
00:44:18You may only get the opportunity to make a mistake once.
00:44:21And Stephanie with a D right to the throat.
00:44:24That's got to do it.
00:44:26And now on the apron.
00:44:30Devil's kiss.
00:44:31I think Barrett's not here.
00:44:38Rolling in the middle of the ring.
00:44:40Let's put the respect deserved on Booker T's name.
00:44:45That's right.
00:44:46He invented it.
00:44:47Sure did.
00:44:48Creepy as it is.
00:44:50Cover here.
00:44:50Cover by Steph.
00:44:52And a kick out by EO Sky at two.
00:44:54Let's take a look back moments ago at this knee that could prove to be the game changer right across the throat of EO Sky.
00:45:07Here comes Vaquerre.
00:45:11Drag and screw out of the corner.
00:45:13This could be the beginning of the end for EO.
00:45:16Here comes Vaquerre.
00:45:18Double knees the meteor into the corner now.
00:45:20And now it's EO Sky that's in trouble.
00:45:24Vaquerre.
00:45:27Could be looking for the SVB once again.
00:45:29EO able to escape.
00:45:30EO Sky now.
00:45:33Oh!
00:45:34Knee right to the...
00:45:35That was almost the version of the SVB.
00:45:37Close.
00:45:38And a kick out.
00:45:39Slightly different application of the underhook, but almost the exact same result.
00:45:45And the SVB, the Stephanie Vakere bomb.
00:45:48A modified one there.
00:45:49Delivered by EO Sky.
00:45:51But EO again grasping at her right knee.
00:45:53Moments ago when she came off of the top rope, she landed and immediately winced.
00:45:59I wonder if that's going to play a factor here.
00:46:01Well, EO can ill afford a injury, of course, heading into SummerSlam in the triple threat match for the women's world title.
00:46:07And EO trying to fire up now.
00:46:18Several heavy rights by Sky.
00:46:20And a kick right on the ear of Vaquerre.
00:46:22The Dark Angel is down.
00:46:24And now EO with the bullet train attack.
00:46:34And EO says that's it.
00:46:37Top rope looking for over the moonsault.
00:46:39Stephanie there.
00:46:40You feel the urgency of Vaquerre understanding time was of the essence to stop the over-the-moonsault.
00:46:47What the hell is Vaquerre thinking here?
00:46:50EO just trying to survive.
00:46:52Top rope now.
00:46:53She may not.
00:46:54Oh, no.
00:46:57Unbelievable.
00:46:58Dropping EO on her face.
00:47:00Both women are down in what has been an incredible matchup here tonight, live on Monday Night Raw.
00:47:07EO's down.
00:47:08Stephanie Becker's down.
00:47:10Oh, he's sick.
00:47:11Oh, he's sick.
00:47:12Oh, he's sick.
00:47:14Oh, he's sick.
00:47:15And what's going on in the entrance?
00:47:19Piper Niven.
00:47:20Why?
00:47:21Alba Fire.
00:47:23Chelsea Green.
00:47:24Secret Hermes.
00:47:25We've had an issue with Stephanie Becker for a number of weeks now.
00:47:28And Becker going to make them pay.
00:47:32Piper Niven and Alba Fire dropped off the apron.
00:47:37Oh, wait a minute.
00:47:38From behind that's Chelsea Green.
00:47:40Chelsea Green beat the hell out of Becker.
00:47:43Remember what Stephanie did to all three of these women at the Battle Royal back in Evolution.
00:47:49And Chelsea Green and Piper Niven and Alba Fire have not forgotten.
00:47:53Far be it from me to ever express disappointment in anything Chelsea Green does.
00:47:57But, damn it, this is uncalled for.
00:48:01And EO now from the top rope drives Chelsea Green toward the corner.
00:48:07And EO trying to fight back.
00:48:08Stephanie in trouble as well.
00:48:10Jote takes down Alba Fire.
00:48:12And now EO bringing the thunder toward Piper Niven.
00:48:16And a double-team drive Niven out of the ring.
00:48:25EO and Becker helping one another here tonight.
00:48:30Allies of necessity to thwart the threat of the secret Hermes and Chelsea Green.
00:48:36Oh, no.
00:48:43The women's world champ, Naomi now, from behind.
00:48:47Wipe it out, EO.
00:48:48Wipe it out, Stephanie Becker.
00:48:51And now Naomi, who faces EO in a triple threat at SummerSlam.
00:48:55Naomi is a menace.
00:48:57Gonna send a message tonight.
00:48:59Mommy's here.
00:49:12The eradicator.
00:49:14Rhea Ripley.
00:49:16Who gets Sky and Naomi at SummerSlam.
00:49:20Is gonna send a message of her own.
00:49:24Good night, Naomi.
00:49:25Naomi.
00:49:26Good night, Naomi.
00:49:27Good night, Naomi.
00:49:29Good night, Naomi.
00:49:32Uh, Chelsea.
00:49:34Oh, no.
00:49:36Chelsea Green in deep, deep trouble.
00:49:39Stephanie EO and Rhea.
00:49:45Rip time to Green.
00:49:49At the face of a woman who's ready for war.
00:49:53Oh, another disappointing result in the Stephanie Becker EO Sky singles contest.
00:50:08But there's a lot more at play here as we barrel towards SummerSlam and Clash in Paris.
00:50:16Ladies and gentlemen, a week from Saturday, the start of an epic two-night SummerSlam, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where Naomi will be forced to defend her women's world championship in a triple threat match against the former champion EO Sky.
00:50:33Another former champion, Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam.
00:50:35Last week, CM Punk survived the gauntlet and earned the right to challenge the Ring General Gunther.
00:50:44The World Heavyweight Championship on the line, who truly is the best in the world.
00:50:50And it is only appropriate that we settle this match in a cage, a steel cage.
00:50:57The United States Champion Solo Sokoa versus Jacob Fatu for the title.
00:51:02The WWE Women's Tag Team Gold is up for grabs as Alexa Bliss and the Queen Charlotte Flair join forces to challenge Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez of the Judgment Day.
00:51:15This has gotten all out of control.
00:51:17In fact, it went insane on the Kimmel Show last week.
00:51:20Randy Orton and Jelly Roll team up and Jelly Roll's in-ring debut to take on Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam.
00:51:29And there will be no countouts, no disqualifications.
00:51:33There must be a winner in the Women's Intercontinental Championship match as Lyra Valkyria challenges the man, Becky Lynch.
00:51:42The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line because Dominic Mysterio has been medically cleared in the ambush.
00:51:48AJ Styles earlier tonight, Dom defends against Styles at SummerSlam.
00:51:53And is Tiffy time finally up?
00:51:55We find out at SummerSlam in the WWE Women's Championship match as the Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill, challenges Tiffany Stratton.
00:52:05And it's for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:52:10And it is now a street fight.
00:52:13John Cena, the 17-time champion, defends against the man he controversially beat at WrestleMania.
00:52:20None other than the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
00:52:24It takes place a week from Saturday, the epic two-night SummerSlam.
00:52:30And WWE and Fandago announced today that the first-ever two-night SummerSlam, taking place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey,
00:52:38will stream live and select Regal Cinemas across the United States on Saturday, August 2nd, and Sunday, August 3rd.
00:52:44Tickets for this cinematic event are on sale now at Fandago.com.
00:52:48Well, the time is finally upon us.
00:53:15Roman Reigns, the OTC, shocked the WWE Universe by returning last week.
00:53:22Roman is here on Raw Live Next.
00:53:26Ladies and gentlemen, right now, as you can see, I'm joined by the Judgment Day.
00:53:48Finn, pretty stressful night for you guys.
00:53:51It's stressful.
00:53:52Are you crazy?
00:53:53It's another successful night in the books for the Judgment Day.
00:53:57That's right.
00:53:57I mean, take a look at us.
00:53:59Five superstars.
00:54:02Five champions.
00:54:06Five of the toughest people walking.
00:54:09Well, you know, even we have a soft spot.
00:54:16Because we're missing one special person.
00:54:19So, Liv Morgan, tonight is dedicated to you.
00:54:24LWO, you boys think you're ready to face the Judgment Day next week.
00:54:32We saw you out here celebrating like you won the Super Bowl.
00:54:36Boys, until you beat the Judgment Day, you can't beat anybody.
00:54:42Charlotte, Alexa, I hope you're comfy at home watching what happened tonight.
00:54:47Because that is what's going to happen to you at SummerSlam.
00:54:54And actually, so...
00:55:00What Don was trying to say is AJ Styles at SummerSlam, you're the one that...
00:55:14Tom's pretty close to Roxanne there.
00:55:17I'm not going to fit in the same camera, Sean.
00:55:20You're trying to force me to make a joke about JD's cabeza, aren't you?
00:55:23No, I'm not.
00:55:24I'm just wondering why Dominic was so close to Roxanne,
00:55:26especially in the tribute to Liv Morgan they just had.
00:55:29I don't appreciate you trying to stir things up between a lovely couple.
00:55:32Well, speaking of stirring things up, look who's here.
00:55:36Heyman, Breaker, Reed.
00:55:37And waddling to the ring now is Seth Rollins' Oracle, Paul Heyman,
00:55:57accompanied by Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed.
00:56:11Of course, Seth, the current Money in the Bank contract holder,
00:56:14being kept warm by Bronson Reed, Seth out with a knee injury.
00:56:17Remember, he has up to a year from this past June to cash in.
00:56:21My time was warm.
00:56:24Get me down to the side of the floor.
00:56:27Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:56:32Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
00:56:43I stand before you tonight with the future of the entire industry.
00:56:52Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed.
00:57:02Now, before he comes out,
00:57:09I have a lot of things to get off my chest.
00:57:17RGC! RGC! RGC! RGC!
00:57:20RGC! RGC! RGC! RGC!
01:01:58I don't ever want to be where it seems...
01:02:17like I would be disrespectful, rude...
01:02:33You know, like someone born in Texas.
01:02:42But so that you know...
01:02:49Seth Rollins is going to be out of action for a long, long time, and that opens up a leadership void over here, which means, if you think about it, we can fix this.
01:03:14We can put this back together and look who and what comes along with me, because you know, deep in your heart, we're far better together than opposing each other.
01:03:39You'll...
01:03:41You'll always be my family, because I love you, my tribal chief.
01:04:09Let's just put that...
01:04:11Let's just put that on pause.
01:04:19Let's just put that on pause. There's one thing I forgot to do.
01:04:23H-Town!
01:04:25H-Town!
01:04:26A-Town!
01:04:27H-Town!
01:04:28A-Town!
01:04:29H-Town!
01:04:30H-Town!
01:04:31RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC!
01:04:50Acknowledge me!
01:05:01RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! RCC! So dreamsen, what was he talking about?
01:05:24You want me to lead?
01:05:28Indeed, a few years ago, I would have said those are wise words from a wise man, but
01:05:39you're not a wise man anymore.
01:05:48You're just a dumbass.
01:05:58Easy now, Junior. Easy, Junior. You might want to listen up. Sit under the learning tree
01:06:08and write this down because he's about to do the same thing to you as he did to me.
01:06:17Because in a few years, when you're the man around here, he's going to take all the credit.
01:06:26That's what you try to do with me, right?
01:06:28You see, Houston, I've heard a lot of people try to take responsibility for creating the
01:06:36tribal chief.
01:06:39But I can tell you firmly, it wasn't him.
01:06:48The only reason I'm the tribal chief is because they still acknowledge me.
01:06:55Oh, you're damn right. The OTC was a champion, too.
01:07:17The greatest champion to ever step foot in this ring.
01:07:26And I will say this man had a part in that.
01:07:29But he didn't have any part in me keeping that title.
01:07:39No, I mean, look at him. How could he? Honestly, come on now.
01:07:43No.
01:07:44The Usos did.
01:07:45Solo did.
01:07:46Sammy even helped out.
01:08:02I knew he'd love that one.
01:08:06But yeah.
01:08:07I lost that title.
01:08:11I did.
01:08:12It only took four years, but I lost it.
01:08:15But then you told everybody that I took my tail and I go off and I do whatever.
01:08:20But no.
01:08:21I went home to continue to raise the future bloodline.
01:08:25Which brings me to family, you see.
01:08:31When we talk about the bloodline, that's all it is, is family.
01:08:35You see, the dumbass here,
01:08:37he thought we were just another faction or something,
01:08:42or we were just some wrestling group.
01:08:45Nah.
01:08:45You could create those, but you couldn't create the bloodline.
01:08:49Nah, that was God's work.
01:08:50But all that,
01:09:05I ain't gonna say it again.
01:09:07Back up, son.
01:09:17But you wanna know something?
01:09:18None of that really bothers me.
01:09:20You wanna know what really bothers me?
01:09:22You wanna know what really gets under my skin?
01:09:26What?
01:09:27I wanna hear it.
01:09:28You used to be just a friend to our family.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:32You were just a business partner.
01:09:34What?
01:09:37I made you a part of our family.
01:09:40What?
01:09:42You were chosen family to me.
01:09:45I gave you responsibility.
01:09:47What?
01:09:47And what'd you do?
01:09:50You're damn right.
01:09:51He threw it all away.
01:09:53He threw it all away.
01:09:54You wanna know what he threw it away for?
01:09:56He threw it away for a best friend?
01:10:01Someone that he hadn't even talked to in over a decade.
01:10:06And you betrayed me and my family for him?
01:10:10Nah.
01:10:10Don't ever come out here.
01:10:12Don't ever come out here.
01:10:13This is what the history books need to understand.
01:10:15Don't ever come out here and say,
01:10:18I ruined the bloodline.
01:10:20I didn't ruin the bloodline.
01:10:22This dumbass did.
01:10:24We'll do all the things.
01:11:03Listen to me, Roman. Get this through your thick skull. Look around. We don't want you
01:11:18here anymore. You're yesterday's news. You're the old dog. Hell, you were relevant five
01:11:32years ago. That was your prime. You're just taking up a spot standing in my ring. And
01:11:40I'm glad, I'm glad that you didn't take his offer because I know that Paul won't stab me
01:11:46in the back. You want to know why? I hold value in this place. You're worthless. I'm the big
01:12:02dog now. I'm the top dog now. I'm the future of WWE. I'm the man around here now.
01:12:15So do what you do best, Roman. Turn around and leave.
01:12:38I got to be completely honest. I didn't hear any of that trash you just said.
01:13:08I honestly don't think your mic was working. If you need to say it again, please use mine.
01:13:15Silverman punch. Breaker goes down. And now Reigns goes after Big Bronson Reed who tried to attack
01:13:25him with a briefcase. And Breaker with a spear. Braun Breaker levels Roman Reigns with a spear. And Heyman wants more damage done.
01:13:42Reed and Breaker double teaming Roman. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:49Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:13:55Bronson Reed had said that tsunamis destroyed islands. And that's what he was trying to do there before family came to help Roman out.
01:14:05Main event Jey Uso's in the house. Jey with a kick to Reed. One to Breaker. And Breaker now trying to turn it around. Jey Uso taking the fight to Braun.
01:14:23The fight to Braun. Big right hand drops Breaker. And now a double spear. From Roman and Jey.
01:14:45It's just being.
01:15:00Green and Breaker left repped. By Roman Reigns and his cousin main event Jey Uso.
01:15:08and not so fast young guns the incumbent sheriff still rules this town for now
