00:00Now Joaquin Wilde comes in off the tag. Another tag made. Frequent tags now by the LWO.
00:06This double team will do them well. J.D. McDonough run into the double elbow.
00:14Look at this. And Wilde! Locked on McDonough by Del Toro.
00:20Wilde is a risk taker. Not afraid of the skies. Nor is Del Toro into the cover.
00:25Cover for the championship. And a kick at two. That was close.
00:28And if you're J.D. McDonough and Finn Balor, you're using this opportunity as a showcase to the rest of the division, to all of WWE, to establish yourself as the bar of tag team wrestling.
00:41Obviously, we mentioned earlier the incredibly high stakes, biggest TLC match ever going down at SummerSlam.
00:47But Balor and McDonough want the world to be talking about them as the best tag team in the business.
00:52Now J.D. McDonough, I believe one of the most underrated superstars of WWE today.
01:00Kid has all the tools. Of course, trained by Finn Balor.
01:03Look at this. Oh! And a moonsault cover now.
01:06Is it enough to put him away to kick out at two by Del Toro?
01:10We talk all the time about the importance of tag team chemistry, but what you just said, the fact that McDonough was trained by Finn Balor,
01:16I don't know that there is any tag team in the business that has better chemistry than McDonough and Balor.
01:22They are quite literally in the same sentence, not just the same page.
01:26Well, again, they were brought up in the same hometown. Balor became a mentor for McDonough at a very young age.
01:31Del Toro slipped a bit. Didn't matter. Top rope now. Balor trying to take advantage.
01:36But Cruz, Del Toro going to make both of them pay.
01:39Del Toro is razor sharp tonight. McDonough from behind.
01:42And sent crashing to the outside. Keep your eyes on the skies, Cole.
01:46Lock King, Wild loves to fly. Going to do it again!
01:50Huge crossbody block takes down the Judgment Day.
01:55Can the LWO win the World Tag Team titles?
01:59You've been impressed with the LWO so far?
02:12Very much so. I know how much this opportunity means to Joaquin Wild and Cruz Del Toro.
02:17They certainly brought their A games tonight.
02:20Will it be enough? Time will tell.
02:21But stereo baseball slide drop kicks from the challenger.
02:25Yeah, Balor and McDonough are going to have to do something to regroup.
02:28But what they need to do, Corey, is slow the pace.
02:31I would agree with you.
02:32I know that Joaquin Wild is extremely well versed in submission.
02:36Oh, McDonough with a drop kick!
02:38That's what they needed. That's what it was.
02:40Maybe it was a Hail Mary, but it paid off.
02:43J.D. McDonough right on the money.
02:46Sensational counter by J.D. McDonough.
02:49That was the opening McDonough was looking for!
02:55And now the high elbow, and now the Judgment Day will slow the pace and look to wear while down.
03:02Isolate him from his partner.
03:05Puttage him, as McDonough's doing here.
03:07Tag made off the back suplex.
03:09Here is Ballard, former Universal Champion.
03:12Covered kick out at two.
03:13Again, let's take a look at the turning point, Corey, of this matchup.
03:17This is why they say it's high risk.
03:18Joaquin Wild took to the sky one time too many
03:21and was met with a drop kick into his guts by J.D. McDonough.
03:29Ballard now talking trash as the Judgment Day has taken over.
03:33Of course, they defend the tag titles tonight.
03:35Raquel and Roxanne of the Judgment Day will defend the tag titles this weekend
03:38in SummerSlam against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
03:41And Dominic Mysterio defend his Intercontinental title against A.J. Stiles this weekend.
03:48Very possible that the Judgment Day clubhouse will look extremely different come next Monday.
03:53Yeah, no more gold perhaps.
03:55And the downwind spiral could start tonight if Ballard and McDonough lose the titles.
04:02Double team now to Wild.
04:05Ballard into the cover quickly.
04:07Hooks the leg.
04:07Again, Judgment Day really forcing Wild to work here, kick out of numerous covers, wearing Wild down.
04:14No wasted motion by Ballard or McDonough.
04:17Tag made once again.
04:21And McDonough now the legal man, again, going to slow things down and punish Joaquin Wild.
04:27Five nights from SummerSlam and the World Tag titles are on the line.
04:42The champs, McDonough and Ballard of the Judgment Day, defended against the LWOs, Joaquin Wild and Cruz Del Toro.
04:48And McDonough and Ballard have really taken over against Wild here for you.
04:52The champions brought their A game tonight as well.
04:54They understand who they're dealing with, I assure you.
04:57Ballard and McDonough did their homework on their challengers, but there is no shortage of fight in the heart of Joaquin Wild.
05:05And McDonough able to quell the momentum of Wild there.
05:09Joaquin, though.
05:10Uh-oh.
05:11Oh, and Ballard now.
05:12Ballard took a cheap shot as McDonough almost ran over the referee Rod Zepada.
05:17And the veteran move of Ballard there.
05:18No doubt about it, but watch out, Finn!
05:20Oh, McDonough now driven into Finn Ballard, who belts his right off our announce table.
05:26We know J.D. McDonough has a unique relationship with our announce table.
05:31Hopefully Ballard has better luck, but Del Toro is now legal for the LWO.
05:36And Cruz Del Toro taking up the pace now off the crossbody and the drop kicks.
05:42Around we go.
05:43Beautiful spinning head scissors.
05:46And a right hand drops Ballard on the outside.
05:51McDonough catches Cruz with an elbow.
05:53Oh, and went to the top rope.
05:54Uh-oh.
05:54And he paid.
05:55Kick right to the midsection.
05:56Look at the welds building on the midsection of McDonough.
05:59There's a kick now to Ballard.
06:00Drops him to the floor.
06:01Oh, Del Toro showing the WWE Universe what he is capable of.
06:08I'm not sure what he's capable of here.
06:11That is a lot of distance to cover.
06:13Del Toro, top rope.
06:15Ballast it himself.
06:16McDonough's in trouble.
06:17Coast to coast.
06:19Oh, he got it all.
06:21Del Toro went coast to coast.
06:23McDonough might be out.
06:25Covered out to win the World Tag Team Titles.
06:28Kick out by J.D.
06:30This is incredible.
06:32Wow, wow, wow.
06:3420 feet from coast to coast all the way across the ring.
06:39And I think Del Toro had a few feet to spare.
06:42Drop kick right in the face of the champion.
06:45Imagine being McDonough.
06:46You're hung up.
06:47You have nowhere to go.
06:48And you see this guy flying across the ring at you.
06:50Kicking in the head.
06:50In the head.
06:55Detroit letting all four competitors know they appreciate it.
06:58This is awesome, but tag made.
07:00Ballard legal once again.
07:01Yeah, the six-time tag team champion Finn Ballard now in the ring.
07:05Tagged by Wilde.
07:06Joaquin Wilde, legal man, launches himself off the top rope.
07:09Ballard catches him with a kick from the midsection.
07:11Another double team incoming, courtesy of the champions.
07:16Maybe not.
07:18Double counter by the challenger.
07:21The LWO in search of that little bit of magic.
07:26This could be it.
07:27Wilde and Del Toro with a suicide dogs.
07:30And the LWO could be closing in on the World Tag Titles.
07:36Ballard in trouble.
07:37Tag.
07:41Moonsault.
07:42Up to the top rope.
07:43Now, Del Toro, legal man.
07:47Del Toro off the top.
07:49Phoenix splash.
07:50Cover.
07:52J.D. McDonough saving the titles for the Judgment Day.
07:58McDonough's timing was impeccable.
08:00It may have been the only reason the LWO don't own the gold now.
08:03But I don't know who got the worst at that exchange.
08:06Oh my God, what the hell's he doing here?
08:07El Grande Americano!
08:11El Grande Americano is no business in this matchup.
08:14I told you, it's some sort of issue with LWO.
08:17Trust me, that bad blood goes back generations.
08:19And now, Dragon Lee's here.
08:22Generations.
08:22The guy's been here two weeks.
08:23That's the future and the past of Lucha Libre.
08:26Dragon Lee going after El Grande Americano.
08:29But we know the, well, the original Grande Americano had an issue with Dragon Lee.
08:33I don't know about this.
08:34Inside cradle by Baller.
08:35For the championship and a kick out at two.
08:39Del Toro was distracted by the chaos on the outside, but just dropped Finn with a boot.
08:44No one to tag for Cruz Del Toro.
08:47McDonough got rocked by an Enzigiri and dropped the tag team championship in the ring.
08:53I believe he's going to use that as a record now.
08:56Zermata.
08:56And now, Joaquin Wilde takes out McDonough.
08:59There are bodies flying everywhere.
09:03Del Toro now has acquired the target.
09:07Del Toro can taste it.
09:11Now, Americano's back.
09:13Now, who the hell is this now?
09:15El Grande Americano.
09:16The guy's a foot shorter than the other idiot.
