00:00Get off her game plan, headed into the Intercontinental.
00:02What does that accomplish at this juncture?
00:04Bailey had her opportunity, and it went up in smoke.
00:07Bailey's extremely frustrated.
00:08Talked about last week how she hasn't won a match in many months here in WWE,
00:13and she'll start things off against Roxanne Perez.
00:16Roxanne, of course, from Texas, down in Laredo.
00:20About a five-hour drive from Houston.
00:21Made that drive as a high school kid.
00:24Trained at Booker T's School right here in Houston.
00:27Now the Sassy Perez.
00:30Dropped on her backside by Bailey.
00:33I've personally been very impressed by how quickly Roxanne and Raquel have gelled as a team.
00:40I agree.
00:41Oftentimes it takes months, if not years, to get on the exact same page as your partner.
00:45Here comes Bailey.
00:46Here comes Bailey.
00:46For the first time ever, Bailey and Lyra Valkyria take on Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of the Judgment Day for the women's tag team titles here tonight.
01:09Crucial matchup, Corey.
01:10The winner not only wins the tag team gold, but they have a date at SummerSlam with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss from Friday night's SmackDown.
01:18So is Bailey...
01:18Covered out by Bailey and a kick out.
01:21Did Bailey get this match made expecting Lyra to have to compete twice at SummerSlam?
01:26Well, perhaps.
01:28And now Raquel Rodriguez.
01:30Big cheer for the crowd here in Houston.
01:32I think they were cheering for Dom's Guns.
01:33No, no, Raquel, born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, about four to five hours south of Houston here.
01:40I don't understand the geography sometimes.
01:42It's like when we go to Canada.
01:43Somebody can be from Calgary and they call Toronto home.
01:46Texas is, like, practically as big as Canada.
01:48Yeah, but Texas is a state, Corey.
01:53You wanted a geography lesson as Raquel looks to overpower Bailey here.
01:58Back on SmackDown Friday, Charlotte Flair knocked off Roxanne Perez in a one-on-one matchup.
02:06Raquel is at the inside.
02:07The power of Raquel Rodriguez just shrugging Bailey off with ease.
02:11And I honestly, part of me sort of feels bad for Bailey, Cole.
02:15As long as we've known her, I don't know that I've ever seen Bailey sort of spiral as she has lately.
02:19Yeah, but she's got to win.
02:20I mean, that's the name of the game, right?
02:22There's nobody to blame but herself.
02:23And Bailey...
02:24That was odd.
02:26That was a rather aggressive tag attempt, Bailey.
02:28And then Bailey backed off and made the tag.
02:31Again, later on tonight, the return of the OTC.
02:36Roman Reigns, who came back to Raw last week with a vengeance.
02:40Has a lot of scores to settle.
02:41We'll hear from Reigns tonight.
02:42Let's just talk for a minute about how impressive the Judgment Day as a whole have been lately.
02:47The clubhouse has turned into the penthouse.
02:49Laden in gold.
02:51Oh, so look who's stirring everything up.
02:52Liv Morgan leaves with an injury and all of a sudden Judgment Day has all the gold.
02:56And so you agree with that assessment as well.
02:59It's just an observation.
03:00It's an unbiased observation.
03:02And Bailey now kicked to the midsection.
03:04Of course, the women's and men's tag team titles with the Judgment Day.
03:08Dominic's the current Intercontinental Champion.
03:10Double team now from...
03:11Whoa!
03:12No dice.
03:13Raquel Rodriguez turns it around on Bailey and Lyra Valkyria.
03:18The power of Rodriguez.
03:20And again, Dominic's here at ringside.
03:22Continuing to avoid the doctor who is supposed to attempt to clear Dominic tonight for his SummerSlam match with AJ Styles.
03:30Dominic is here to provide moral support for the women's tag team champions.
03:34Oh!
03:34Or perhaps physical support like last week.
03:36Cover now by Roxanne on the double team.
03:39And a kick out by Bailey.
03:40This is just excellent, classic tag team strategy.
03:49They have been a very successful team so far.
03:51They defended the tag titles in a fatal four-way at Evolution.
03:54Last week knocked off the Kabuki Warriors thanks to some help from Dom.
03:58Tagged to Lyra and here comes Valkyria.
04:00The inaugural Intercontinental Champion.
04:02Looking to win her title back in her first SummerSlam.
04:05Appearance a week from Saturday.
04:09It's the spray of strikes from Valkyria and that's just raw power from Rodriguez.
04:14Rodriguez, a tag team technician, Corey.
04:16Nobody's heard has held more women's tag team titles than Raquel in her career.
04:21She's had five.
04:24They're the reason.
04:25Raquel, this is her wheelhouse tag team competition.
04:28And Lyra trying to figure out what the hell Bailey's doing playing cheerleader.
04:33Can't quite believe it.
04:34And Lyra took her eye off the ball momentarily.
04:37And Raquel Rodriguez takes over.
04:39And now Roxanne Perez with a cheap shot.
04:44Oh, what a clothesline.
04:46Obviously, Bailey's thinking, I don't know what the hell she's thinking.
04:50I don't either.
04:50Again, Corey, I don't get any of the strategy from Bailey.
05:00I mean, is she trying to be a good teammate?
05:03Is she trying to distract Lyra?
05:04Are there other motives?
05:06None of it makes any sense to me, Cole.
05:08I'm sure Bailey has her reasons.
05:10But objectively speaking, why would you get a tag team title opportunity for yourself
05:15and someone you can't stand and have spent the last several weeks competing against?
05:20Well, Becky was out here moments ago talking about Lyra bogarting everything in WWE,
05:28not respecting the match, wanting every single championship.
05:32Seems to be Bailey's doing that.
05:34Now Lyra hipped into the corner.
05:36And Roxanne Perez, double team now coming from the Judgment Day.
05:42We saw Dominic at the ringside waiting to be medically cleared tonight, perhaps.
05:46This is Roxanne.
05:48Oh, and again, holding Lyra for the big boot by Raquel.
05:50Covered to retain.
05:53And a kick out by Valkyrie.
05:55Did you see Dom online celebrating 20 years in WWE?
06:00How delusional is he?
06:02He's not wrong.
06:03He was a kid.
06:04He wasn't under contract.
06:05Again, riding the cootails of his legendary father, Rey Mysterio.
06:08That's what his deadbeat dad told you, that he wasn't under contract.
06:11Meanwhile, Rey just blew it on a car for somebody.
06:15And now Roxanne in control.
06:17Roxanne Perez, so young, the reason she's called the prodigy, Corey, I mean, she's incredible.
06:23Wise beyond her years.
06:24An in-ring IQ through the roof.
06:27And the proof is in the pudding, as they say.
06:30In a short period of time here on Monday Night Raw, she's already holding tag team gold.
06:35Now having a great time at the expense of Lyra Valkyrie.
06:38Look at the way that Dominic was looking at Roxanne.
06:40You think there's something going on there?
06:42What are you implying, Cole?
06:44He's asking.
06:47Uh-oh.
06:47And now Lyra scoop up.
06:49Trying to win the tag team titles.
06:51Roxanne.
06:52Counter pin.
06:53Oh!
06:54Lyra again.
06:56Roxanne kicks out again.
06:58I think it's unfair of you to cast aspersions on the motivations of Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
07:04Corey, I asked a simple question.
07:06Cover.
07:06Hook of the leg.
07:08Kick out by Lyra.
07:10You asked a very leading question.
07:12It was an implication, even.
07:14Tag.
07:14Here comes Raquel Rodriguez.
07:16And you've got to feel bad for Dominic.
07:17I mean, he's had AJ Styles hunting him down every step of the way, waiting for him to get medically cleared.
07:21Well, maybe he should be a fighting champion and actually defend his champion.
07:25He's a championship against AJ, and AJ wouldn't have to be stalking him everywhere.
07:29Well, yeah, I'm talking about you.
07:31Go to the doctor and get cleared.
07:32Go.
07:33You talk about Dirty Dom.
07:34I'm going to talk about the power of Raquel Rodriguez.
07:38Cover.
07:38To retain.
07:40Lyra kicks out.
07:42I'm not talking about you.
07:44I'm calling a tag title match.
07:46Hey, do you have something for Roxanne?
07:48What?
07:48For who?
07:55This is for the women's tag team titles.
07:59Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez have been dominating.
08:02Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.
08:03Again, a strange team formed tonight between people who hated one another the last couple of weeks.
08:08Bayley and Lyra.
08:09It was just last week a two out of three falls match.
08:11The tournament was one contender for Becky Lynch's Intercontinental Championship.
08:14It was Lyra against Bayley.
08:16They took one another to the limit.
08:17Again, the winner of this match gets a date at SummerSlam with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss from Friday Night SmackDown.
08:22Power of Raquel Rodriguez.
08:25Man, she's so dominating.
08:28And now Roxanne Perez.
08:31Springboard moonsault.
08:32Second rope.
08:33Cover now.
08:34To retain.
08:35And a kickout.
08:36I asked you a bit earlier.
08:38I want to get into this in a moment as we take another look.
08:40The slingshot suplex a la Telly Blanchard.
08:44Followed up by a beautiful moonsault by the prodigy.
08:48See Roxanne in the ring.
08:50It's like Dominic was showing her some gooboo eyes earlier on.
08:55So I'm wondering if Dominic has a thing for Roxanne.
08:57That's what I'm asking.
08:58Okay, Dominic is spoken for, Michael Cole.
09:02Dominic is an honest, hardworking, proud Intercontinental Champion.
09:06And doesn't need you casting aspersions and asking questions and starting outright lies and rumors.
09:12Well, listen, I actually called Liv Morgan today to try to find out what you thought about this.
09:15Why are you calling Dirty Dom's old lady?
09:17She didn't answer the phone.
09:18Oh!
09:19Dom, did you hear this nonsense?
09:22And now, tag by Roxanne.
09:24Lyra trying to make a tag to Bailey.
09:26And again, Roxanne Perez preventing Lyra from making it across the ring.
09:30Lyra Valkyria creates some space.
09:32Can she make the tag?
09:34And she does.
09:34And here comes Bailey.
09:37And Bailey on fire now.
09:39Looking in what has been a frustrating few months.
09:43Nice back suplex.
09:50Bailey into the corner.
09:51Very interesting response from the WWE Universe here in Houston.
09:54They don't know what to make of this Bailey either.
09:56It's bizarre.
09:57Oh!
09:58You and I have both known Bailey over ten years.
10:00This is a side of her that we never knew existed.
10:03Well, and it's completely different from what we've experienced with her the last few weeks.
10:09This doesn't add up.
10:11And Bailey, sunset flip-bomb!
10:14Roxanne Perez hit the corner hard.
10:15Bailey now trying to win the Women's Tag Team Titles!
10:18Perez at two!
10:21Come on, Sam, come on!
10:24Dominic in no way looks hurt or injured to me.
10:27At all.
10:28Are you an internist?
10:30Well, I mean, but he's moving around pretty well out here.
10:33And Bailey now delivering the shoulders to the mixed section of Roxanne Perez.
10:39Roxanne moves out of harm's way.
10:42If it weren't for Hippola, it's out of...
10:43No!
10:45Raquel with a clothesline as Roxanne distracted the official.
10:49Tag made.
10:50Here comes Rodriguez.
10:55Tag made once again.
10:56The prodigy legal for the judgment day.
10:58And again, look at the power of Raquel.
11:01Man, that was incredible!
11:03Second time!
11:05Slingshot suplex plays perfectly.
11:08In position for the prodigy.
11:10How's that for alliteration?
11:11All this time, let's see.
11:12A chair...
11:13That springboard moonsault, and Bailey got the knees up his chair...
11:18Corey's chair broke at ringside.
11:20He was so excited.
11:21And Bailey now with a running leg.
11:23Cover now!
11:23Can they win the Tag Titles?
11:25Almost kick out!
11:26Are you okay?
11:27I'll live.
11:29Maybe I'll wait for the doctor to medically clear Dom.
11:31Have to take a look at me, too.
11:34Feel like something happened inside.
11:36I still look fine, though.
11:38Tag made.
11:38Here's Lyra.
11:39Lyra fired up now.
11:41From the top rope.
11:42Valcaria!
11:43With a leg drop!
11:45Across the back of Perez's neck.
11:47And now Raquel and Bailey fighting outside the ring.
11:51Official down for the count and a kick out at two.
11:55There's chaotic moments in this Tag Team Championship match.
11:59Raquel bounced off the post out there.
12:02Lyra going for the Nightwing.
12:03And Roxanne able to drill her into the corner.
12:07Perez now just teeing off.
12:10On Valcaria in the corner.
12:12Vicarious position for both women.
12:14Lyra answers with a heavy right of her own.
12:20Lyra had a tremendous amount of resilience in her career.
12:24And now, Roxanne trying to hook her.
12:26Lyra able to slip underneath.
12:28And now with Roxanne up top, Lyra going to sit out powerbomb!
12:33Not quite sure why she didn't go for the cover there.
12:36But she makes the tag to Bailey.
12:38And I guess perhaps she's going to try to give Bailey the victory.
12:41And Bailey now with the elbow from the top rope!
12:44Cover for Bailey!
12:45Raquel Rodriguez breaks up the near fall.
12:49I'm baffled, Cole.
12:50As many matches as you and I have called, I have never seen anything break down quite like this.
12:55It just doesn't make sense.
12:57Well, I think Lyra's still trying to figure out what the hell Bailey's all about.
13:00As they work now together as a double team!
13:02Well, I'm going to tell you a secret.
13:04If you're still trying to figure out how to get along with your tag team partner,
13:07your odds of becoming tag team champions go from sleeping them.
13:10Oh, now there's that idiot Dom up on the apron.
13:12Bailey just scared him.
13:13Bailey yelled to Dom.
13:15Now a roll-up!
13:16Roxanne's got the tights!
13:18Did Bailey kick out?
13:19Yes, at two.
13:21Bailey now with a knee.
13:24Roxanne right in the nose.
13:26Hit him!
13:27Hit him!
13:28Hit him!
13:29Not cleared.
13:31Oh, Raquel!
13:32Oh, no!
13:33Well, Dominic may not be cleared now.
13:36Inadvertently kicking the face of Mysterio.
13:40Raquel going for Lyra.
13:42Dom, are you okay?
13:45We need a doctor out here.
13:47Get medical!
13:48Get medical!
13:49An internist for sure.
13:51Yeah, Raquel asking for medical.
13:53Meanwhile, Lyra will carry it!
13:54Raquel!
13:56Drop kick right on the money.
13:59Bailey in the ring.
14:01Get somebody out here to help Dom.
14:02Something may have ruptured.
14:04And a collision!
14:05Oh, no!
14:06Oh!
14:06Both women are down!
14:08Critical moment.
14:09And finally, medical personnel rushing out here to check on Dirty Dom.
14:14Hold his C-spine.
14:15Oh, no!
14:23Oh, no!
14:23Oh, no!
14:24C-p-o!
14:27Dr. AJ!
14:29Dominic!
14:30Run over the hills!
14:32Oh!
14:33AJ's time for the hills!
14:34Look at him!
14:35And Becky Lynch!
14:36Where the hell did she come from?
14:38Dragging Lyra off the apron!
14:40Into the steps!
14:45Becky Lynch from out of nowhere!
14:47Bailey with no one to tag!
14:51Roxanne from behind!
14:53One, two, three!
14:54And Bailey kicks it two!
14:56Reversal!
14:57Kick out by Roxanne!
15:03Tag!
15:04I don't think Bailey realizes that Raquel's legal for the judgment day!
15:08Bailey to Bailey!
15:08Doesn't matter!
15:09Roxanne not legal!
15:11But Raquel is!
15:12Tohada bomb!
15:13With authority!
15:15Stock her up!
15:16Raquel and Roxanne are defending SummerSlam!
15:20Here are your winners!
15:22And still, the Women's Tag Team Champions!
15:28Raquel Rodriguez!
15:30And Roxanne!
15:32Bo-ray!
15:34Again, a week from Saturday, the epic two-night SummerSlam begins!
15:37And Raquel and Roxanne will defend the Women's Tag Team Titles against SmackDown, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss!
