00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00I can't lose.
01:02I'm not burning the rain.
01:04I can hear you.
01:05I can't lose.
01:07I can't lose.
01:09I can't lose.
01:10I'm not burning the rain.
01:11I can hear you.
01:13Welcome to WWE Main Event.
01:16The Raw Day contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:34Introducing first, Romain Contente, Mexico!
01:40Weigh in at 87 kilos, Penta!
01:47And here is a superstar who is ready to wow the WWE Universe.
01:54You're looking at a man who is absolutely fearless in style and in spirit.
02:08And he's gonna need every, every possible ounce of energy from the WWE Universe here tonight.
02:17Listen to this place.
02:19And right now it's all about building momentum towards SummerSlam.
02:37I wanna welcome in ringside Vic Joseph alongside Raw reporter Byron Saxton.
02:42Byron, are you ready for the biggest party of the summer?
02:45Is that a trick question, Vic?
02:46Am I ready?
02:47We don't have to dream about it.
02:48We don't have to pitch ourselves.
02:49It's happening.
02:50The first ever two-night SummerSlam.
02:53I'm here for it.
02:55I wanna point out too, Blake Howard here ringside.
02:58He is getting a degree in snorkeling, so he's taking a week off.
03:02I heard about that.
03:03Good for Blake, man.
03:04That's awesome.
03:05Spreading his horizons.
03:06And his opponent, from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 204 pounds,
03:29Grayson Waller.
03:34Well, didn't take long for Waller, the arrogant Ozzy, to get right to the face
03:41of members of the WWE Universe.
03:43Heard from Waller on Monday, called it Clicks with Theory.
03:46He is solo now, arrived in the arena alone.
03:48And Byron, the hard truth is, he has no one to blame but himself.
03:54I'm not the number one Grayson Waller fan by any stretch of the imagination.
03:59But why are you immediately putting blame on Grayson Waller for what happened?
04:03Maybe, to your point earlier about Blake, maybe Grayson Waller is expanding his own horizons in his career.
04:10Yeah, as he's openly mocking his former tag team partner, as he's been one to not tag into his former tag team partner,
04:18as he's one to walk away from his former partner.
04:20Yeah, I'm wrong, Waller's right.
04:22Is that what you wanted to hear about?
04:23What I'm saying is that when I look at Grayson Waller and I look at his career,
04:26I'm looking at a guy who's going through a mid-career crisis, if you will.
04:30He's at a crossroads.
04:31He's trying to figure out where he wants to be and what he has to do to get there.
04:35No, it's absolutely no doubt-
04:43I love this winner.
04:44The fans are in tonight.
04:47Penta is one of a kind.
04:54Listen, there's a reason why Penta-
04:56To you!
05:00He's gonna say, there's a reason why Penta has completely captivated the WWE Universe.
05:06Well, Byron, when it comes to Penta, he has had some interesting conversations with some,
05:11z podczasem, podczasem z tym, zbyt zbyt zbyt zbyt zbyt zbyt.
05:16Wtedy zbyt zbyt na gołek, dwa razy.
05:18Wtedy za wyjańczą okrejty w Mocze.
05:22Wtedy za panie za panie Penta.
05:23Zbyt na panie Penta.
05:25Przedeć na panie Penta na Penta,
05:27Panu odbył się na panie Penta,
05:29jak na panie Penta na rok,
05:30jak na Panie Zbawskieński,
05:32ty w sprawiedli na Panie Zbawskieński.
05:34Na temat Penta, jak na Panie Zbawskieński,
05:37Zobaczmy, że to znowu Roman Reigns.
05:39Roman Reigns jest jak a fire-breathing dragon,
05:42z wężeńce w jego heartie.
05:45Właśnie na main eventie, nie do nie chcesz,
05:47że to znowu, że to znowu,
05:48że to znowu, że to znowu,
05:49że to znowu, że to znowu,
05:50że Grayson Waller
05:51znowu się w kontrolę w tej chwili.
05:52Współpraca w tej chwili.
05:53Współpraca w tej chwili.
05:55A na nieruchomołym,
05:56BOOM!
05:57Bieg Lariot,
05:58to znowu Penta.
06:00Znowu, znowu,
06:02znowu,
06:03znowu,
06:04znowu,
06:05i znowu,
06:06Can Grayson Waller succeed on his own, seriously?
06:11Honestly, I don't know, but I think Grayson Waller's doing the right thing.
06:14If you're aligning yourself with one of the greatest tag teams in history in the New Day.
06:19Shooting the half into the cover, another near fault, you mean Big G when it comes to New Day.
06:24I was going to get to that, I'm glad you referred to him,
06:26because he actually stopped me before we came out here and he said,
06:28please Byron, tell Vic to refer to me as Big G.
06:32I don't buy that he ever even spoke to you, but nonetheless, how can Waller thrive then,
06:36Byron, when you talk about his friendships?
06:38How can he thrive in the current WWE environment?
06:41Look, contrary to popular belief, I think Grayson Waller's been humbled the last couple
06:45years here in WWE.
06:46Former tag team champion, former talk show host.
06:49Humbled?
06:50Yes, I said humbled, did I stutter?
06:52The way he speaks, you think he's humbled?
06:54Would you let me finish, please?
06:56Go ahead, I'm sorry.
06:57My whole point is humbled in the sense that he realized he needs guidance.
07:01He needs knowledge, hence why, I think he's talking to you and theory.
07:06Hence why he's associated himself with Xavier Woods, with Kobe Kingston.
07:10He realizes he needs some veteran guidance to reach the next level.
07:13Yeah, he certainly looked humbled there moments ago, and yeah,
07:16the men you talk about in New Day, they are humbled as well, huh?
07:19Penta turning things around.
07:20For Grayson Waller, really the biggest issue is a half inch under his nose.
07:24And right now with a reverse sling blade, Penta has taken this matchup back over.
07:29I hope Big E didn't hear you refer to him as Big G.
07:32Whoa, look out.
07:33And look at Penta, wiping out Waller.
07:36Penta is feeling the moment.
07:39That was to you, because he's heard what you've said.
07:44You've been talking negatively.
07:45You've been more pro Waller in this matchup than Penta.
07:47I said nothing derogatory about Penta.
07:50Well then put into words how exciting Penta is then Byron as he flies off the top,
07:55into a cover, hooks the leg, and Waller again getting that right shoulder off the mat.
07:59Listen, Penta, like I said, I think it's only a matter of time.
08:02It's not a if, it's a when.
08:03Penta has gold around his waist here in WWE.
08:06And throat first.
08:08And here comes Waller looking for that stunner, a flat liner.
08:13Modified version there.
08:15Rolling right in and Waller's gonna pretend as if he's playing for the Houston Rockets.
08:22Through the legs, connects with the elbow, into the cover, and another near fall.
08:30Now, would you change your tune on Grayson Waller if he defeats Penta here?
08:33Absolutely not, because it's hard for me to say anything nice about him.
08:36But look at this, going through the legs like Kevin Durant, and then picture-perfect landing.
08:43For Waller, who tries right back in, gets caught, and Penta again, able to sidestep him.
08:48Quick strike and sudden offense of Penta, so effective, no matter who you are.
08:54Penta certainly is excitement personified.
08:57And now charging in, got caught, wait a minute, counter!
09:00Holy, holy, good grief!
09:05And now center of the ring, hoisting up for the Penta driver.
09:09One, two, three.
09:11Penta picks up another victory here in the WWE on Main Event.
09:16Here is your winner, Penta!
09:21What a victory for Penta.
09:25Let's take a closer look at some of the action here as we kicked off Main Event.
09:31It is absolutely impossible not to be impressed with Penta.
09:36Ooh!
09:40And coming up with that picture-perfect Penta driver.
09:46And a statement made by Penta.
09:49What's Penta looking for?
09:51Looking out amongst the WWE Universe.
09:55Everyone loves Penta.
10:00Again, I told you he is getting ready to wow the WWE Universe.
10:05Yeah, missing accomplice for Penta, a true favorite of the WWE Universe.
10:11And this man continues to pick up and ride the wave of momentum.
10:15As we are closing in on the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam!
10:20Penta with an impressive victory over the struggling Grayson Waller to kick things off on Main Event.
10:32And there's plenty more of action still to come.
10:34Meechan looks to turn her fortune around with a much needed win against the returning Kiana James tonight.
10:39But first, here's a look at last week's gauntlet match to determine who would go on to face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam.
10:47It is time for our main event, the gauntlet match, to determine who faces Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam!
10:59Tonight, Ron Breaker runs the gauntlet.
11:04Tonight, Ron Breaker goes through everything and everyone in his way.
11:09Tonight, Ron Breaker emerges as the number one contender.
11:16Tonight, Ron Breaker punches his stamp to Summerslam!
11:24Ron Breaker goes on to Summerslam!
11:26Ron Breaker defeats Gunther at Summerslam!
11:30Fade of NJ, making the climb!
11:33No!
11:34Big Bronson Reed!
11:36There are no disqualifications, Reed can do whatever the hell he wants!
11:42Ron Breaker has been in this match for over 35 minutes.
11:51Now he's got the best in the world.
11:53Anaconda Vice looking to squeeze the breath out of Bronson.
11:59Out of Braun Breaker!
12:00And Reed now with an elbow to Punk!
12:03Punk's got some backup!
12:06Jey Uso!
12:08Get to him son of Big Bronson!
12:10Breaker!
12:11Went for the spear!
12:13Punk intercepted him!
12:14Go to sleep!
12:16Punk into the cover!
12:18One, two, three!
12:20Punk's going to Summerslam!
12:22Oh!

12:24Oh!

12:26Ronson Reed and company looking for the last laugh!
12:28Jey Uso trying to come to his aid!
12:29And Breaker with a spear!
12:30Double teaming Punk!
12:31If it continues to go this way, CM Punk isn't going to make it to Summerslam!
12:36Neither is Jey Uso!

13:46Coming up, we'll hear from the best in the world for the first time since earning
13:50a World Heavyweight title match against Gunther at SummerSlam.
13:58This August, WWE brings the vibes to MetLife Stadium.

14:21I ain't something for nothing.
14:22Read with me.
14:23Jerseys just built different.
14:25Yeah, yeah.
14:26Go time, go time.

14:31On a whole nother level.
14:33Hold me with me in Showtime.
14:35WWE SummerSlam, August 2nd and 3rd.
14:39Individual and combo tickets on sale now.
14:51Welcome back to Main Event.
14:53We are coming to you from Space City, Houston, Texas.
14:56Home of the NFL's Houston, Texas.
14:58NBA's Houston Rockets.
15:00And the two-time World Series champion, Houston Astros inside the jam-packed Toyota Center.
15:06CM Punk addressed the sold-out crowd as Punk talked about becoming the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
15:13And his upcoming title bout with Gunther at SummerSlam.
15:19When I came back, I had a couple of goals.
15:22Main Event WrestleMania, become WWE Heavyweight Champion.
15:27One of those things I've done, the other one I've been working on.
15:31It's a little hard around here.
15:32Sometimes you get sidetracked.
15:34Sometimes people take things personally, but all the distractions are now on the back burner.
15:40And I can now focus on that goal of being world champion.
15:45Last week, I won a gauntlet match.
15:50Made me number one contender to Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship.
15:56Now, all nicknames aside, Gunther is one of the best wrestlers in the world.
16:08I'm looking very, very forward to lacing him up and locking up with Gunther.
16:17And I can't promise a win, ladies and gentlemen, but with you all cheering me like you do.
16:23And hand to the screen, anybody sitting at home watching on Netflix,
16:32if you're gonna be there live in New Jersey for SummerSlam,
16:36I can promise you that I will leave it all in the ring.
16:40I will not quit.
16:42I will give you everything I have.
16:46I look at Gunther and I say,
16:52one of the best wrestlers in the world, intercontinental champion for 666 days,
16:59on his second run with the world heavyweight title.
17:04And now you only got two weeks to prepare for this beast.
17:09But Houston, then I remembered, oh, wait a second.
17:13You've been training for this your entire life.
17:16You are prepared.
17:18You are CM Punk.
17:26So to Gunther and whatever fans he has, understand I am not just any other wrestler.
17:32I am not just any other challenger.
17:35I am the best in the world.
17:40Well, here is a man who could very well prove that is not the case.
17:53The man who retired Bill Goldberg a couple of weeks back at Saturday night's main event.
18:00One of the most dominant champions we've ever seen, Corey.
18:04He's held a title around his waist over 80% of his time here at WWE.
18:10His name is Gunther.
18:12Perhaps the best professional wrestler in the world,
18:16as indicated by the gold strapped around his waist.
18:20Gunther would love to add CM Punk to the growing list of names that he has taken out.
18:27Also for Gunther's success at SummerSlam.
18:31Remember last year, Gunther won his first world heavyweight title at SummerSlam.
18:37Can he retain the championship this year?
18:57Well, first of all, I'm very excited to hear.
19:27Gunther, Gunther, Gunther!
19:30Gunther, Gunther!
19:31Gunther, Gunther, Gunther!
19:32Well, let's cut to the Ginger, Punk.
19:33I did not come out here to throw insults at you.
19:39I did not come out here to create any drama.
19:46But let me point out some similarities here.
19:49We're both here for the same reason, not to make friends but to make money and
19:55i win championships
19:57you consider yourself the best in the world i consider myself the best in the world
20:02you got a massive ego
20:07and you been away ten years every week
20:11they chanted your name so don't blame you for it
20:15i got a massive ego
20:18but punk the thing is my ego is justified
20:24because unlike yours it's not based on what they think that's worthless
20:30my ego
20:34my ego is based on results and you just listed all my accolades
20:41it's very simple the best in the world is the man that holds the world heavyweight championship
20:54i only focus on what happens after the bell rings punk and at summer slam that bell will ring
21:00and when it does i'm gonna make you regret that you ever stepped foot into a professional wrestling ring
21:08i'm gonna maul you i'm gonna push you around i'm gonna choke you out i'm gonna drop you like a wet towel
21:16and you're gonna wake up staring at the lights and realizing i was right you will never be a world heavyweight champion
21:28you will never be the best in the world
21:32but you know what seems to mean a lot of you at least you got those degenerates chanting for you for the rest of your life
21:47short and sweet from the world heavyweight champion
22:05it's the ring general versus the best in the world in a matchup that's tailor made for the biggest party of the summer
22:11gunther and cm punk are both generational superstars and while they look vastly different on the surface
22:17they do have one thing in common
22:19gunther and punk are two of the most skilled competitors inside the squared circle
22:24however only one of them will leave metlife stadium with the gold
22:28tune in to summerslam next weekend to find out who is the best in the world
22:35that's not the only title on the line at the biggest party of the summer
22:38raw general manager adam pierce announced naomi will make her first title defense against rhea ripley and io sky
22:45in a massive triple threat match for the women's world championship at summerslam next weekend
22:52becky lynch is also scheduled to defend her title at the biggest event of the summer and last monday on raw
22:57the women's intercontinental champion had a proposal for her challenger lyra valkyria ahead of their championship showdown
23:05lyra we are one for one in singles competition i have brought out the best of you i have made you a star
23:14but that free ride ends the trilogy ends at summerslam
23:20now the last time we went one on one i said that if i lost to you i would never challenge you for this title ever again
23:31well we know how that ended but now i extend that same challenge to you when you lose at summerslam
23:38you can never challenge for this title ever again
23:45you know what i'm learning becky
23:51every time i think i've dealt with a problem it seems to come back to haunt me
23:57maybe maybe maybe my problem is i never take it quite far enough
24:04so i accept your terms here's mine no count outs no disqualification there must be a winner
24:18it doesn't get any bigger than this the only two superstars to hold the women's intercontinental championship

24:50her former protege lyra valkyria at summerslam only this time there will be no count outs and no disqualifications
24:59before lyra valkyria steps into the squared circle for her rematch against becky lynch at summerslam

32:12Coming up on Main Event, the OTC
32:14is back, and he hasn't forgotten
32:16what Paul Heyman did.
32:18We'll hear from the original Tribal Chief,
32:20Roman Reigns, later tonight.
32:22on Main Event.
32:24Coming up, Kiana James returns to action

32:28but her first match won't be an easy one
32:30when Kiana goes one-on-one with the old,
32:32dangerous Meechan, next on Main Event.

33:20I think the magic is out there under the lights.
33:23This is uncharted water.
33:26This is a calculated, coordinated production.
33:29A lot can go wrong.
33:30Tell them to go now.
33:32It can get bloody, it can get messy.
33:35Oh, no!
33:36That's show business, baby.
33:37I wanna make sure it makes a noise.
33:39It's the side of me that would get arrested.
33:41This is insanity!
33:42We're gonna show you how the story unfolded before your eyes.
33:46Just getting started.
33:52It wouldn't be the biggest party of the summer
33:54without a WrestleMania rematch
33:56for the biggest prize in WWE.
33:58King of the Ring winner, Cody Rhodes,
34:00is more determined than ever
34:01to reclaim the title John Cena took from him
34:04when the American Nightmare goes to war
34:07with the self-proclaimed last real world champion,
34:11John Cena in a street fight
34:13for the undisputed WWE Championship.
34:16After successfully defending her WWE Women's Championship
34:21against the Hall of Famer Trish Stratus at Evolution,
34:24Tiffany Stratton will face another tough test
34:26when she puts the title on the line
34:28against the Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill,
34:31at the biggest party of the summer.
34:33Don't miss the first-ever two-night Summer Slam
34:35next week in August 2nd and 3rd
34:37from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
34:40Welcome back to Main Event.
34:55The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
34:59Introducing Kurt from Montana, California,
35:04Meechan!
35:10Well, Myra, when it comes to Meechan,
35:12she is someone who always, always has the backing
35:15of the WWE Universe.
35:17And that is something Meechan loves.
35:19She appreciates.
35:20She feeds off each and every week
35:22that she is blessed with the opportunity
35:24to step inside a WWE ring.
35:27She just got her game face on right now, Vic.
35:37She's ready to go.
35:38She better.
35:49Oh-ho-ho!
35:50Oh-ho-ho!
35:51And her opponent from Soon City, Iowa,
36:03Kiana James!
36:06Well, look, like her, hate her,
36:09it's good to see Kiana James back, healthy,
36:14heading into a WWE ring.
36:16I second that, Vic.
36:17over a year on the shelf with a bad knee injury.
36:21Kiana James has dreamed of this day,
36:24dreamed of this opportunity to grace the WWE Universe
36:28with her presence again.
36:29Well, look, when it comes to Kiana James,
36:31someone whose career I followed in NXT,
36:34there's one thing I'll tell you about her.
36:36She is conniving.
36:37That's why we dubbed her the conniving Kiana James.
36:40You know that she's been sitting at home
36:42thinking of different ways,
36:44mustering up ideas for what she would do
36:46to whoever she faced in her comeback.
36:48I agree, Vic, but that's a process to get to,
36:50because when you first get injured,
36:51especially with a long-term injury like Kiana James,
36:54you go through a lot of different machinations of emotions.
36:57You're a little humbled, you're a little sad,
36:59you have some regret, but then you reach that point
37:02where your mind gets back on track
37:04and you realize you gotta bring it
37:05when you step inside that ring.
37:07Well, you also know this when it comes to Meechan,
37:09she is no stepping stone for anyone.
37:11Look, I love the strides Meechan has made,
37:14especially over the last year here in WWE,
37:17several times coming within an inch,
37:19it feels like, of winning the women's United States title.
37:22So Meechan, after all these years,
37:24really finding her stride and she can only build on it.
37:27Well, I'm glad you bring up championships,
37:29because Byron, I'd love to get your thoughts
37:30on the women's division as a whole in the WWE.
37:34It's stacked.
37:35It's absolutely stacked.
37:37If you look at RAW, if you look at SmackDown,
37:39you got Naomi leading the charge on Monday Night RAW,
37:42Tiffany Stratton on Friday Night SmackDown.
37:44And if you're a superstar like Kiana James,
37:45and you've experienced watching the growth
37:48of the women's division on the sideline,
37:50it's gotta get you feeling a certain way.
37:51It's gotta get you pumped to get back in the mix.
37:53Oh, Meechan right now in control of Kiana James.
37:56And look, Kiana's got a bullseye on her body.
37:58You see the knee brace.
37:59I wonder if Meechan will go after that target.
38:03Look, that would be the smart thing to do,
38:05and I don't mean that in a malicious way,
38:07but if you come out there
38:08and you properly scout your opponent
38:10and you realize there's some susceptibility there,
38:12you might as well take advantage of it.
38:14Nice takedown by Meechan.
38:15Meechan who has been seen on SmackDown going through.
38:19Oh, shoulders down for a moment.
38:21Kick out.
38:22You talk about hardcore matches with Chelsea Green.
38:25Talk about her time even.
38:26Shoulders down one more time.
38:27Another knee fall coming down to NXT and more street fights.
38:30She's someone who is certainly battle-tested.
38:33She is someone who has embraced her inner baddie.
38:36She's rediscovered her inner baddie, Vic.
38:39What does that mean?
38:40That means she's fearless.
38:41She's bold.
38:42She's willing to do whatever it takes to advance her career.
38:45You just like saying the word baddie over and over again.
38:47I love saying baddie.
38:48That's why I said it twice and now three times.
38:49No, not yet.
38:50You just made the trifecta of it.
38:51Kiana James controlling the baddie here for a moment.
38:54Put more oomph in it, Vic, when you say baddie.
38:56Come on now.
38:57I'm trying to be, you know, right down the middle,
38:59calling this one as I should.
39:00You obviously tipping your hand towards the baddie, Meechan.
39:04Hey, I'm just excited about this match.
39:06I mean, two great stories here.
39:07You want to see if Meechan's going to continue on the momentum she's had.
39:10And for Kiana James, this match is crucial for her.
39:13If you come out in your return match after being out for almost a year,
39:16over a year, and you lose that match, what does that do to her mentally?
39:19Well, also, if you think about it the other side,
39:21if Kiana James able to make her comeback here tonight and be victorious over Meechan,
39:25what would that do to the psyche of Meechan?
39:28And Kiana James pointing out she's one step ahead of her opponent tonight.
39:32Well, it just means Kiana James is one more threat in the women's division
39:35that Meechan has got to be well aware of.
39:38Nice misdirection there.
39:40Meechan in control of this match-up.
39:43And right now, it looks like things going to spill to the outside.
39:46And Meechan, someone who knows how to use her environment,
39:49but the same can be said for Kiana James.
39:52And Kiana turning this match-up right around, into her favor.
39:57Can Meechan bounce back here on Main Event?
40:10An absolutely incredible scene!
40:19This is what World Wrestling Entertainment is all about!
40:24WWE Clash in Paris, Sunday, August 31st.
40:29Tickets on sale now.
40:31Back on Main Event, it has been all Kiana James over the last few moments.
40:40Certainly seems to, Byron, have no ring rust whatsoever.
40:45And I'm admittedly kind of surprised about that, Vic.
40:48We talk about it all the time.
40:50There's a difference between being in great shape outside the ring,
40:53and then being in shape in the ring.
40:55Considering this is her first match back in over a year,
40:58I expect at this point in the match, Kiana's going to be breathing heavy,
41:01maybe slowing down a little bit.
41:03But to your point, no size of ring rust.
41:05Full control by James.
41:07Drafted to Monday Night Raw, back during the 2024 draft for Kiana James.
41:12Certainly thought there was a lot of momentum being picked up at the time.
41:16And that goes back to the mental aspect of the game you alluded to
41:19before the commercial break.
41:20That also has to play a factor in her head.
41:22How do I get back to what I once was?
41:25Well, think about this.
41:26Kiana James had, what, two matches?
41:28Two matches on Raw, and then she gets hurt?
41:30So that could completely derail you mentally.
41:32So for Kiana James to have to go through whatever she went through
41:35and come back and look this good, this dominant right now against Meechan,
41:39says a lot about her work ethic.
41:41Certainly does, and now Meechan trying to fight back,
41:43creating a little bit of separation, big kick.
41:45And now take a look at the combination offense from Meechan.
41:49Setting her sights, target acquired, and just got caught by Kiana James.
41:53And look at Kiana.
41:54This is that aggression getting cranked up, which we have seen in the past
41:58with that conniving attitude.
42:00And I think Kiana just showing right there, my knee is 110%.
42:04Don't worry about any vulnerabilities with me.
42:07Also right over there talking to the official.
42:09The attitude on full display in her return.
42:12Never one to be afraid to cut corners, i.e. that purse she likes to bring down to the ring,
42:18or bag, should I say.
42:19Hey, listen, Kiana's done nothing unruly in this match.
42:22Oh, this far.
42:23She's played by the rules.
42:24Talking about the past and everything she has done that has led to this return,
42:29to this moment.
42:30And again, I say, you like her, you hate her.
42:31It's good to see her back in the ring.
42:32She has not missed a step.
42:34Nice suplex.
42:35Going right into the cover.
42:36Hook of the leg.
42:37And oof.
42:38A near fall.
42:39Do you think that may be a half-second, Byron, to kind of soak in what she had just accomplished
42:44with that suplex?
42:45Played a factor in her not getting the victory?
42:46Well, look, maybe we could all be armchair quarterbacks, Vic.
42:49But the bigger story of this match is what continues to happen right before our very eyes.
42:53Kiana James has the number of meet and desperately.
42:56She's trying to fight back.
42:58But Kiana James has controlled the tempo, case and point, for the last few minutes.
43:02June 17, 2024.
43:04That was the date Kiana James was sidelined with a devastating knee injury.
43:08She has circled the date for her return.
43:10Okay, what do you make about that cover there, then, Byron?
43:13That is inserting herself into the mind of Meechan.
43:16That's what it is, Vic.
43:17Caused a little mental turbulence, okay?
43:20Well, Kiana James still in control of this match.
43:23You go back to what she has said on social media over the rehab schedule.
43:27No one's got you like you got you.
43:31That's been her mindset.
43:32Going into another cover.
43:33Another deep hook of the leg.
43:34And another near fall.
43:36People, if you've never gone through rehab, you don't really understand how much of a toll
43:40it does take on you mentally.
43:42Every single day is a fight.
43:43Every single day is a challenge.
43:45To be motivated, to go through the discomfort, to go through the pain, and then to come back better.
43:49And so far, Kiana James looks better.
43:52Well, for Kiana James and her time down in NXT, it was the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels who praised her for her work ethic.
43:59Who praised her for what she could do inside the squared circle.
44:03The growth she had shown as a champion at one point in NXT.
44:07But back here tonight, squaring off against Meechan.
44:10And right now, Byron, we're at a pivotal point in this match.
44:14Both women are down.
44:16It is anyone's game.
44:18Meechan struggling to make it to her feet, as is Kiana James.
44:22The referee's count is on.
44:24Who can seize the moment?
44:30Meechan, who was rocked moments ago, was able to get back into this matchup.
44:35Maybe she has been able to refocus herself as now both women, center of the ring, slugging it out here on Main Event.
44:43Meechan knows.
44:44She is well aware at this juncture of the match, she is in a battle with Kiana James.
44:49And she has got to dig deep right now.
44:51Meechan right now does not care about the 398 day journey for Kiana James to get back here inside the squared circle.
44:59It's Meechan with a super kick.
45:01James popping right back up, gets dropped with a big drop kick.
45:04That time again for Meechan.
45:06And Meechan right now is feeling it, Saxton.
45:09Credit the resiliency, credit the grit of Meechan to absorb the attack of Kiana James and bounce back the way she is.
45:16We talk about how calculated Kiana is.
45:22Same could be said right now in this moment for Meechan.
45:26Meechan attacking from every corner.
45:28Second time around works.
45:30And Kiana James now in trouble.
45:32Yeah, I don't know if Meechan was trying to adjust her gear or maybe she had some sort of cramp.
45:36Did you see her grabbing her foot, her right foot after the last kick?
45:40She might hurt her toe on that kick.
45:41Let's see if that plays into the center of the ring.
45:44Inside cradle by Kiana.
45:46Oh, right to the throat.
45:50And Kiana now hoisting up Meechan.
45:53Meechan doing her best.
45:55Trying to counter one more time.
45:57Able to hold on for a half second.
45:59Charging in.
46:00Swing and a miss.
46:01Meechan now eat.
46:02Defeat.
46:03Good night, Kiana James.
46:08Meechan victorious.
46:11Here is your winner.
46:15Meechan.
46:20Meechan picks up a win over the returning Kiana James.
46:23And with Roman Reigns return last week, let's take a look back at the shocking events that occurred on the night after WrestleMania.

48:55The biggest party of the summer is already jam-packed with WWE's top stars.
48:59And last Monday on Raw, Dominic Mysterio and his potential opponent and future Hall of Famer AJ Styles
49:06found out if Dirty Dom was cleared to compete at Summer Slam.
49:10Hey, hey, hey, here he is.
49:11Here he is.
49:11He still burns when he clears?
49:13What is it?
49:14Really?
49:14Listen, we finished the evaluation for Dom.
49:17Yep, and?
49:17But I still need to finish up some of this paperwork before I can give you an official answer.
49:21So what, we're waiting still?
49:22Just waiting a few more moments.
49:23How much longer?
49:24Get it, Dom!
49:26Back up!
49:29Look at you, look at you, Adam, AJ, I have cleared, and I will see you at Summer Slam.
49:39AJ Styles' prayers have been answered.
49:47But with a sneak attack, the Phenomenal One might have bit off more than he can chew.
49:52Will AJ fend off Dirty Dom in Judgment Day to become a two-time Intercontinental Champion
49:57when Styles challenges Dirty Dominic Mysterio for the title at Summer Slam?
50:02Jelly rolls out to prove that he's more than just a Grammy-nominated country singer when
50:07he teams up with the Viper Randy Orton against the Maverick Logan Paul and his partner, the
50:12Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre in a star-studded tag team match at Summer Slam.
50:18What was once love has now turned to bitter hatred within the bloodline as Jacob Fatu takes
50:25on Solo Sokoa inside a steel cage for the United States Championship.
50:30Will Solo escape MetLife Stadium as champion, or will the Samoan Werewolf get retribution
50:36over the MFTs and regain the gold?
50:39Find out next weekend at Summer Slam.
50:41And speaking of the bloodline, we head back to Monday Night Raw, where the OTC Roman Reigns
50:46addressed his double-crossing former wise man, Paul Heyman.
50:50Easy now, Junior.
50:59Easy, Junior.
51:01You might wanna listen up.
51:03Sit under the learning tree and write this down, because he's about to do the same thing
51:10to you as he did to me.
51:12Because in a few years, when you're the man around here, he's gonna take all the credit.
51:20That's what you try to do with me, right?
51:25You see, Houston, I've heard a lot of people try to take responsibility for
51:31creating the tribal chief.
51:34But I can tell you firmly, it wasn't him.
51:41The only reason I'm the tribal chief is because they still acknowledge me.
51:52OTC!
52:00OTC!
52:02OT!
52:02OTC!
52:03OT!
52:05OT!
52:06OT!
52:06OT!
52:07OT!
52:08OT!
52:09OT!
52:10OT!
52:10Oh, you're damn right.
52:11The OTC was a champion too!
52:13The greatest champion to ever set foot in this ring.
52:18nie ma żadnego zbyt w tym rymie.
52:20I will say,
52:24this man had a part in that.
52:26But he didn't
52:30have any part
52:32in me keeping that
52:34title.
52:36No, I mean, look at him, how could he?
52:38Honestly, come on now.
52:40No, The Usos did.
52:42Solo did.
52:44Sami even helped out.
52:58I knew he'd love that one.
53:02But yeah,
53:04I lost that title.
53:08I did.
53:09It only took four years, but I lost it.
53:12But then you told everybody that I tuck my tail, and I go off, and I do whatever.
53:16But no, I went home to continue to raise the future bloodline.
53:22Which brings me to family, you see.
53:27When we talk about the bloodline, that's all it is, is family.
53:31You see, the dumbass here, he thought we were just another faction or something,
53:38or we're just some wrestling group.
53:41No.
53:42You could create those, but you couldn't create the bloodline.
53:45No, that was God's work.
53:47And all that, I ain't gonna say it again.
54:03Back up, son.
54:04But you wanna know something?
54:15None of that really bothers me.
54:17You wanna know what really bothers me?
54:19You wanna know what really gets under my skin?
54:22You used to be just a friend to our family.
54:27You were just a business partner.
54:31I made you a part of our family.
54:36You were chosen family to me.
54:41I gave you responsibility.
54:43And what'd you do?
54:45You're damn right, he threw it all away.
54:48He threw it all away.
54:50You wanna know what he threw it away for?
54:52He threw it away for a best friend?
54:57Someone that he hadn't even talked to in over a decade.
55:02And you betrayed me and my family for him?
55:06No.
55:07Don't ever come out here.
55:09This is what the history books need to understand.
55:12Don't ever come out here and say, I ruined the bloodline.
55:16I didn't ruin the bloodline.
55:18This dumbass did.
55:21Listen to me, Roman.
55:26Get this through your thick skull.
55:29Look around.
55:33We don't want you here anymore.
55:38You're yesterday's news.
55:46You're the old dog.
55:48Hell, you were relevant five years ago.
55:52That was your prime.
55:53You're just taking up a spot standing in my ring.
55:58And I'm glad, I'm glad that you didn't take his offer.
56:02Because I know that Paul won't stab me in the back.
56:06You wanna know why?
56:08I hold value in this place.
56:11You're worthless.
56:16I'm the big dog now.
56:22I'm the top dog now.
