00:00The world.
00:18No, it's gone off the rails again.
00:21Charlotte Flair was supposed to be sent home after the actions earlier.
00:28Well, we know there was a ton of bad blood last week.
00:31Get security down.
00:32What the hell are you doing, Charlotte?
00:33Now they're trying to clear things up.
00:37But it is getting worse by the week, and coming over the top of her announced this.
00:41And Flair is on top.
00:47And now Flair is trying to be in a wave.
00:49You're gonna get yourself fired.
00:50What are you gonna do about it?
00:51In the midst of it, trying to control things, rips off his headset.
00:54What the hell?
01:00LWO is rolling.
01:03Six-way intersection here.
01:04I don't even know who's legal now.
01:08I know the LWO are kicking ass.
01:10And American Maid need to regroup.
01:16Rey Mysterio's loving it.
01:17LWO!
01:24Uh-oh, look out.
01:25Everybody down.
01:30Now that's a real luchador.
01:35That was spectacular.
01:41Not all of American Maid loves that, obviously.
01:43Ivy Nile just shot us a nasty look for
01:45complimenting the LWO, who are in complete control.
01:49Tag.
01:50Dragon Lee is now legal for LWO.
01:53And this is like a tornado tag match at this point.
01:58A lot of action.
02:00El Grande Americano.
02:02And look at Creed.
02:03Holy hell, the athleticism.
02:05American Maid have turned things around.
02:09Three superplexes.
02:11Priest once again threatening our officials and breaking free.
02:19And now, right to the eyes.
02:23Maybe Priest who needs that eyepatch now.
02:27The guy who just took an eyepatch off after he had glass shards in his eyes.
02:31Says he's clear.
02:32Watch out, watch out.
02:33Steel steps in hand right to the head.
02:36And I'll tell you this, Joe Test.
02:37If you are heading to a Sin City street fight with an opponent as
02:42dangerous as these two, it would behoove you to take as big a chunk out
02:48as you can prior to getting to Vegas, and McIntyre has just done that.
02:53Our officials trying to tame him as Drew McIntyre turns back and
02:59gives a look to his bitter rival, and he wants more.
03:02Cannot be tamed, my God, what are you pulling up there, Drew?
03:05On top of the steel steps.
03:07No, no, no.
03:08He's lining up a future shock DDT on the steel steps, Wade.
03:13Somebody's gotta stop him.
03:16No.
03:17Hold on, listen, listen, listen.
03:24You three, this is not the time to try to figure this out.
03:27If you want a shot at this right here, okay?
03:31Now, wait a minute.
03:32No, a twisted, damn it, that's twice.
03:36No.
03:48And the powder keg just popped over the North American Championship.
03:53Corbin, Lee, King, and
03:54Paige all doing battle in the middle of the ring.
03:57We need some security out here.
04:03Ethan Page coming out of nowhere.
04:06Corbin, I mean, much like the women earlier,
04:10all these men eyeing up a glime of opportunity.
04:15Hey, hey.
04:16What?
04:18Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
04:28Hey, who the hell are you?
04:32What were we saying about Black Mass always being in the holster?
04:40Miz found out.
04:41Well, give the devil his due.
04:45Welcome to SmackDown, Aleister Black, what an acquisition.
04:51He is up high, atop the crate, at the edge of that lower bowl.
05:00Throgon may be unbeatable in this kind of matchup.
05:03No.
05:05Suplex from there.
05:07My.
05:09Can you believe what we're witnessing in Chicago?
05:13They can't, nobody can.
05:16Meanwhile, a grande americano with a sneak attack to Mysterio.
05:25And now the LWO coming to his aid.
05:32And again, using what I would believe was yet still a loaded mask this week.
05:38You see the headbutts being delivered by Americana.
05:40You gotta believe that steel plate is still in the mask of this man.
05:45And there again, wiping out all of LWO.
05:48Adam Pearce has gotta do an investigation into this.
05:51Somebody's gotta check out this guy's mask before WrestleMania.
05:56Grande Americano keeps hitting people with this, not forehead, but
06:00sinko head, and knocking people out.
06:02He might as well have a football helmet on.
06:05Because just like that, Rey Mysterio's out.
06:08He's looks to lock him up and
06:12counter himself and he does.
06:18Suplex into a cut up move, completely dropping Andrade.
06:26Andrade looking for the win here.
06:28Instead, both men find themselves on the second rope.
06:31And with that, we got a winner.
06:33Here is your winner of the 2025
06:38Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal,
06:44Carmelo Haynes.
06:47But there's a price to pay for
06:53that amazing opportunity.
07:02And that's the toll it takes on our bodies.
07:04Every single guy and girl back there has paid that price at different times.
07:11And now it seems like it's my turn.
07:14Because the reality is, for the last four months or
07:19so, I've been dealing with a pretty serious neck injury.
07:25And we didn't know what it was.
07:27We didn't really know how serious it was.
07:29Thankfully, this week, we managed to figure it out.
07:32And now I have to go get neck surgery.
07:36So that's what I'm gonna do.
07:39And the timing couldn't be worse cuz let me tell you,
07:45not getting to be in the ring with Randy Orton at WrestleMania really sucks.
07:53And I'm really thankful for
07:58WWE for allowing me to come out here in front of you guys.
08:04And telling you all that cuz the truth is,
08:08I don't know when I'll have the privilege to be in front of you guys again.
08:16What I do know is the last few years I've learned
08:22not to take anything for granted, and I will never take this for granted.
08:29This is
08:32Panamania,
08:37Sugars pulling the rope, tag was made, Cutler's legal.
08:41Jivani and his partners beat the hell out of each other.
08:44Back in the ring, the match continuing.
08:46This is absolute chaos, absolute madness.
08:48Sugars from the top nearly put Evans through the ring.
08:52And Sugars into the cover, and the emotions couldn't be held in check.
08:58And Evans pays the price.
09:01J, this isn't about you, this is about me.
09:05Naomi comes back in the ring and attacks from behind.
09:10A cheap shot attack and it was Bianca Belair caught in the middle of everything.
09:15And this one has completely gone off the rails.
09:19Bianca and Rhea Broly, on the outside, you have Jade and Naomi.
09:24And meanwhile, the champion stands back and says, what is going on?
09:29Looking on completely perplexed at the chaos around her.
09:33Uh-oh.
09:34Over the moonsault, out onto the floor.
09:37Everybody is wiped out in this match.
09:40This is the first time in the history of WWE,
09:44Over the moonsault, out onto the floor.
09:47Everybody is wiped out by Io Sky.
09:58Penta celebrating the victory, of course.
10:00I mean, why would we expect anything different?
10:03Carlito now attacking Penta from behind.
10:05And Penta now battling back.
10:07Dominik trying to hang on.
10:09And now Carlito with a backstabber.
10:14And the Judgment Day, picking apart Penta.
10:21Come on.
10:23This is RMO, Pat.
10:27Uh-oh.
10:28The dogs are barking in Minnesota.
10:36The unpredictable badass, leader of Continental Champion,
10:41Braun Breaker is here.
10:45Thanks for coming, Carlito.
10:49He was about driven to Duluth.
10:55Just sawed Carlito in half.
10:58Well, Dominik, staring to the eyes of Breaker,
11:00you're gonna be in the ring with that man at WrestleMania.
11:05Spear.
11:06It's like a cannonball.
11:09Shot out of a cannon.
11:11A super spear.
11:13An absolute dog.
11:15He's wrecking shop on Raw.
11:20Spear to Penta.
11:22Breaker taking out everybody.
11:25On the road to WrestleMania.
11:33Look at that dog.
11:36260, caught up.
11:38More explosive than everybody.
11:44Except this man.
11:46We forgot about Balor.
11:47He's in the Fatal 4-Way and he takes out Breaker.
11:52Finn Balor did not seem pleased that Dominik was added to the match.
11:57But he's got an opportunity to win the Intercontinental Championship.
12:00It's the left kneel.
12:01Got wrong. Kneel.
12:14You are not the quarterback.
12:17You're still just a kid in a man's world
12:20who doesn't have the balls of the last real champion.
12:28Allow me to offer you a little perspective, okay?
12:30You called me underwhelming.
12:32Guess what?
12:33You're overrated.
12:37You're overbearing.
12:39And more importantly,
12:40you're out of touch and you're out of time.
12:42Your face is melting wax.
12:44You got a stack of dimes for a neck.
12:46Spindly-ass legs.
12:47You're paler than Sting at Starrcade 97.
12:51And you're sanctimonious.
12:54Sanctimonious comments about how I'm an errand boy
12:59when the whole world watched you saunter on the Oscar stage
13:03butt-ass naked for the people that you run errands for now.
13:07And by God, John Cena,
13:09it is 2025 and you still can't wrestle.
13:23Well, just like you,
13:25they don't know what they want.
13:27And, Cody, on Sunday to beat you,
13:31I don't have to wrestle.
13:33Oh, Cena!
13:39Oh, he tried to go AA, but instead...
13:43Crossroads!
13:51The war of words just went physical.
13:57The war of words just went physical.
14:10I'm gonna force you out of your comfort zone.
14:13I'm gonna force you to deal with us.
14:20Because at WrestleMania,
14:24in the main event,
14:27in my corner,
14:30your wise man,
14:33my best friend,
14:37Paul Heyman.
14:50I'm gonna give you one more opportunity.
14:54Tell him no.
15:09No, my tribal chief.
15:12No, my tribal chief.
15:15No, my tribal chief.
15:18No, my tribal chief. I can't do that.
15:42Oh, Punk attacks him from behind.
15:46Right hand after right hand.
15:52And a GTS to Roman Reigns.
15:59Moments away from winning it is Ciampa.
16:05Motor Cena machine goes.
16:07Oh, they get rid of the ladder.
16:09He's hanging.
16:11He is hanging.
16:15And now the steel chairs.
16:18We got a human piñata in the form of Ciampa.
16:21Ciampa ain't letting go.
16:23He knows this is his one chance to grab the gold.
16:28Angelo Dawkins is climbing up the ladder.
16:30It's nowhere near the belts.
16:33The powerhouse is to the top of the ladder.
16:36Ciampa's defenseless.
16:40Is he eyeing it?
16:42Is there a target on Tommaso?
16:45Man, they're spared through a table.
16:53You're my brother.
16:55You're my dog.
16:56You're my ooze.
16:57I love you.
16:58I am proud of you.
16:59And you deserve that.
17:03I know it.
17:04You know it.
17:05And every single person in this arena knows that you deserve that.
17:15I love you.
17:16I love you.
17:17I love you.
17:18I love you.
17:20What the fuck?
17:44Guys, thank you so much for everything you've done for me
17:46over the past couple of months.
17:47I'm just scared.
17:49What if I ruin your lives the same way I ruin everyone else's?
17:52You didn't ruin mine.
17:54Oh.
17:56Yeah!
18:00You have my blessings, Mr. Chase.
18:02Do it.
18:04Does that mean you're back in?
18:05No, but I'll always be a proud alumni.
18:07What are you going to be doing?
18:09I'm going to be qualifying for the North American title ladder match.
18:12Yeah!
18:14Go get them, champ.
18:16Ah!
18:19I'm a grown-ass woman.
18:22Graves, look who's back to the delight of everyone.
18:28Except my therapist.
18:30This woman gives me anxiety, Vic.
18:34And her opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
18:38Thea Hale!
18:42I think we haven't seen Thea Hale since KSU was disbanded.
18:46Thea! Thea!
18:48Running right in, stepping right over.
18:50Double underhook.
18:51Oh!
18:52With a twist.
18:53And twisting right back around.
18:55We've seen her make people tap in the past.
18:58We've seen Paige Petrimack tap here tonight.
19:03Hale, yes!
19:04And your winner by submission, Thea Hale!
19:13You tap out! You tap out!
19:15You tap out! You tap out!
19:17You tap out! You tap out!
19:19You tap out! You tap out!
19:21You tap out! You tap out!
19:23Michael, have you got something to say to me?
19:25Tell me right now.
19:26You tap out!
19:27What are you upset with us for?
19:29What are you upset?
19:31You're a side act here.
19:34Listen, I'm out here doing my job.
19:37I'm out here doing my job.
19:40Hey, Gunther, not for nothing,
19:43but I'm not the one who tapped out.
20:10Let him go!
20:11Let him go!
20:12Let him go!
20:13Let him go!
20:14Let him go!
20:15Let him go!
20:16Let him go!
20:17Let him go!
20:18Let him go!
20:19Let him go!
20:20Let him go!
20:21Let him go!
20:22Let him go!
20:23Let him go!
20:24Let him go!
20:25Let him go!
20:26Let him go!
20:27Let him go!
20:28Let him go!
20:29Let him go!
20:30Let him go!
20:31Let him go!
20:32Let him go!
20:33Let him go!
20:34Let him go!
20:35Let him go!
20:36Let him go!
20:37Let him go!
20:38Let him go!
20:40Let him go.
20:48Come on.
20:50Come on.
20:53What are you doing?
20:55What is this?
20:57What is this?
20:58Let him go!
20:59Let him go!
21:00What is this?
21:01The Samoan werewolf, taking care of Priest and
21:07Knight, and the running hip attack.
21:12And the smash into the corner.
21:16Well, McIntyre got taken out with a south of heaven through the table.
21:22He may have got lucky.
21:24Jump up moonsault.
21:26Because what's happening in the ring seems far, far worse.
21:31Look at Fatu.
21:33This is how the title reign begins with destruction everywhere you look.
21:40How badly do you wanna be number one contender?
21:46The most dangerous man of all.
21:50No, thank you.
21:52Get out of here.
21:58Rid this place of them.
22:06Justice is served.
22:11The secret harvest evicted from the matchup, but
22:15it might be academic as back in control is Chelsea Green.
22:20Co-Ref, Co-Ref, do we have it?
22:23My, my, my, a stunner in Texas.
22:28Here is your winner and
22:31the new Women's United States Champion,
22:37Zelina Vega.
22:39Zelina Vega, her first WWE singles title.
22:48It's a hit and run.
22:50There were rumors.
22:57We knew it was a matter of time.
23:02He's back.
23:07Tazawa on the top rope from behind Rusev.
23:12That didn't work out too well.
23:14Rusev just caught him with the greatest of ease.
23:17And tossing Tazawa out of the ring.
23:20And now the big boys are gonna square off.
23:25And now the big boys are gonna square off.
23:28And now the big boys are gonna square off.
23:31And now the big boys are gonna square off.
23:36And Rusev with a kick right to the head.
23:41And another one.
23:46And Rusev pounded away on the spine.
23:51And Pat, the accolade is back.
23:57The submission move.
24:03Rusev with the accolade.
24:05Trying to get honors to pass out here tonight.
24:08This title is not given.
24:20It's earned and it's mine.
24:22And if you want it, come take it.
24:25Four letters.
24:26One word.
24:28Yeet.
24:39Yeet?
24:40You sound so stupid, Uso.
24:42I've done more in four years than you have in 15.
24:45All of you know that's true.
24:49So I got something for you, Jay.
24:51Here's how this is gonna go.
24:54That title, I'm gonna take it from you.
24:58And you are gonna do what you do best.
25:01You're gonna do what you always do.
25:03And that is crash out, screw up, and lose that title
25:10in less time than you held the Intercontinental Championship.
25:19So, Jay, enjoy it while you still can.
25:22Yeet.
25:23Super kick to Paul.
25:31Turn around, Lyra.
25:32Turn around.
25:34Morgan.
25:35Oh, oblivion.
25:37Spike Lyra.
25:41Four time champ.
25:45Here are your winners
25:48and the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
25:55What a match.
25:56Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
26:03Not quite the way they wanted the Raw after WrestleMania to go.
26:13They were great champions for us, although it was quick.
26:17Two women from Ireland came together
26:19and did something special in WrestleMania.
26:22Oh!
26:27Becky Lynch.
26:39What the hell was that all about?
26:47You say you're the last real champ.
26:50All right.
26:51Prove it right here, right now.
26:52Put that title on the line and fight me.
26:55Right here, right now.
26:56Come on.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Yeah.
27:00Yeah.
27:01Yeah.
27:02Yeah.
27:03Yeah.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Yeah.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Yeah.
27:08Yeah.
27:09Yeah.
27:10Yeah.
27:11Yeah.
27:12Yeah.
27:13Yeah.
27:14Yeah.
27:15Yeah.
27:16Yeah.
27:17Yeah.
27:18Yeah.
27:19Yeah.
27:20No.
27:21No.
27:23There should be a match.
27:26Randy Orton versus John Cena
27:30for the Undisputed Championship.
27:36But it shouldn't happen here.
27:42I've already given you a hard enough time.
27:44It's not your fault.
27:45it should happen at Backlash, Randy.
27:48Because Backlash is in St. Louis.
27:51I know that's hard for you to hear, but for Randy it's great because Randy is from St. Louis.
27:58And this is as close to this championship as you're ever going to get.
28:11He's going to take this title and erase three generations of your family, Randy.
28:36And now he's lining up, it looks like, with that title in hand, to hit Randy Orton.
28:42Once again, the most desperate cheap shot from John Cena.
28:46Looking to deliver, oh, Orton gets all the way, RKO!
28:58I am
29:09Oh boy.
29:11Well, what he is, is a guy getting a visit from his bitter rival.
29:19Jackets off.
29:19Well, Paul Heyman can't be happy either.
29:22Consider this man his best friend and then stab him in the back.
29:28That right hand is wrapped for damage, for clobbering time.
29:31Punk's here for a fight, Joe.
29:33Here they go.
29:34Punk, Rollins, 48 hours after the Mania main event.
29:41And Punk taking out all that frustration.
29:45Just beating down Rollins into the corner.
29:48Right hand after right hand and stomp after stomp right onto him.
29:56CM Punk now is going to turn his attention to the quote unquote career best friend.
30:04You better roll out of that ring, Paul.
30:17Well, the distraction by Heyman.
30:36There is a new reigning, defending, undisputed number one.
30:48Top star in this entire industry.
30:56Ladies and gentlemen.
31:11Here comes Roman.
31:18Spear.
31:20And now Heyman's hold on.
31:33Wise man isn't so wise now, is he?
31:37And I don't think Roman's done yet.
31:39Roman's not done yet.
31:42No, he's lining up to spear Heyman.
31:53Are you kidding me?
31:58That was a human missile intercept.
32:11Spares Punk too.
32:29Embraced by Rollins.
32:41Oh, no, he's not done yet.
32:48He's coming to the outside.
32:49Roman's defenseless.
33:02Rocking a rifle broad breaker.
33:05He's revving up the engine.
33:07He's thinking super spear.
33:0823 miles an hour.
33:23Speed, velocity, and the unexpected arrival of broad breaker into the fray.
33:31Paul Heyman has apparently changed the game again.
