00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30What does it mean to be a legend, an icon, to be larger than life?
00:42Welcome on in to This Week in WWE, everyone.
00:45I'm Megan Morant, and this past week, we said goodbye to a man who, for decades, was synonymous
00:51with sports entertainment, the one and only Hulk Hogan, a superstar who millions grew
00:56up watching, from the very first WrestleMania to the days of the New World Order.
01:01His legacy and his impact on the world of professional wrestling can't be overstated, producing a loss
01:07so great it's hard to measure, making us pause for a moment to reflect on the life and legacy
01:13of an unrivaled, real American, Hulk Hogan.
01:16Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, the incredible Hulk Hogan!
01:23They say for holy water's watered down, and this town's lost its faith, our colors will fade
01:32eventually, so if our time is running now, day after day, we'll make the mundane a masterpiece.
01:42Looking at the size of your arms, I wish I had anything that big.
01:49I take one look at you, you're taking me out of the ordinary.
01:54I want you laying me down to the dead and buried.
01:58Did he drop the beat like I got him?
02:00Hulk Hogan, maybe I can answer him.
02:03The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
02:08Something so wild, we're the ordinary.
02:11You got me kissing the ground, we're a sanctuary.
02:15Shatter me when you touch, will Lord return me to dust.
02:20The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
02:26Hopeless hallelujah.
02:30He was the Babe Ruth of wrestling.
02:32The household name that became bigger than our sport.
02:35Idolized Hulk Hogan.
02:36We wanted to be him.
02:38Look at this!
02:39He slammed in!
02:40The way they take my breath away.
02:45At your altar, I will pray.
02:47You're the sculptor, I'm the clay.
02:49What?
02:50What you gonna do?
02:51What?
02:52You're taking me out of the ordinary.
02:55I want you laying me down to the dead and buried.
02:59On the edge of your night, staying drunk on your vine.
03:04The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
03:08So this world, I'm the ordinary.
03:11You got me kissing the ground, I'm the sanctuary.
03:15You can call this the New World Order of Wrestling, brother.
03:21The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
03:25Hulk Hogan was the foundation for everything that we have today.
03:30The people related to Hulk Hogan.
03:34He made wrestling so entertaining.
03:39Just a hero to so many people.
03:42The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
03:59The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
04:01Something so heavenly, higher than ecstasy.
04:05Whenever you're next to me, oh my, my.
04:09The world was in black and white, until I saw your light.
04:13I thought you had to die to fight.
04:16Something so wild, of the ordinary.
04:19To each and every one of those Hulkamaniacs, I love you and thank you very much.
04:24On the edge of your night, staying drunk on your vine.
04:29The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
04:34Something so wild, of the ordinary.
04:37You got me kissing the crowd, crowd sanctuary.
04:40Trying to meet with your touch.
04:43Oh God, return me to dust.
04:46The angels up in the clouds, are jealous, know what we've found.
04:52I was screwed out of that Queen of the Ring tournament, okay?
05:11I should have been at SummerSlam wrestling Tiffany Stratton.
05:14Not crown stealing Cargill, she's just so stupid.
05:21Maybe it's slow, it's useless, but there's a cuter word for it.
05:30I'm, no, is she right behind me?
05:35I don't hide!
05:40No!
05:41No!
05:42No!
05:43Get away!
05:44Chelsea's finding out.
05:45You forgot to, all right?
05:47Well, Chelsea Green's mouth getting her in trouble right now, and I-
05:51Jade just slams her into the mirrored wall.
05:56I think they're heading our way, Joe!
05:58No!
05:59Jade Cargill, who's gonna be fighting for the championship at SummerSlam,
06:04is now just carrying Chelsea Green out to the entryway.
06:15Attempting to scramble away is Chelsea Green, but in hot pursuit now is the Storm,
06:21and this is one Storm you simply cannot outrun.
06:29Oh, here we go!
06:30Might be time!
06:31One prettier, lined up, no!
06:33Powered through to Cargill!
06:36And locked in!
06:38Could it be Jaden?
06:39She delivers!
06:40Jade Cargill!
06:42One, two, three!
06:48Here is your winner, Jade Cargill!
06:54Oh, and Albafire and Piper Niven on the attack instantly.
07:00And sometimes in life, when you win, really, you lose!
07:04Well, Jade Cargill-
07:05Whoa!
07:07Well, this is Jade Cargill's opponent away from tomorrow's SummerSlam, Tiffany Stratton!
07:13WWE Women's Champ apparently here to save the day!
07:18And it's Tiffany Stratton taking on the secret Herbis!
07:23Oh, and Jade's back up on her feet!
07:28And they both get the best of Piper Niven!
07:31And if I was Tiffany Stratton, I would have allowed Jade Cargill to take a beating in!
07:35Considering we're going head-to-head in a week!
07:39A little early to be admiring what isn't yours quite yet.
07:46Tiffany Stratton with the save.
07:48Regardless, Jade Cargill remains less than impressed with the WWE Women's Champion.
07:53This Saturday, the Queen of the Ring looks to add some new hardware to her repertoire,
07:58while current champ intends on doing everything and anything she can
08:02to walk out of SummerSlam the same way she walked in.
08:08With Chelsea Green and the secret Herbis getting involved in a bit of everyone's business,
08:13it's clear that no one is safe from their attacks across both brands.
08:16You see, just two weeks ago, Chelsea, Alba Fire, and Piper Niven's interference
08:20in a match between Io Sky and Stephanie Vaquer led to an all-out brawl
08:25with Rhea Ripley and the Women's World Champion Naomi getting involved in the fray as well.
08:31In the wake of all of that fighting, Io, Rhea, Stephanie, and Nikki Bella
08:35decided that they've had enough of Chelsea's cabinet.
08:38But Green isn't without her own alliances.
08:41Naomi hoping to inflict pain on Io and Rhea heading into their matches.
08:45SummerSlam would jump into the mix alongside Chelsea and her secret service
08:50last Monday on Raw, turning this into a massive eight-women tag team match.
09:00Belly-to-back suplex by Vaquer.
09:09We're happily married men, though.
09:11Devil's kiss!
09:12Leave it alone.
09:13I can't do Booker justice.
09:24Cover by!
09:25The Care Alba Fire breaks it up with a kick.
09:30Alba has been the MVP of her team thus far!
09:33Bellabuster!
09:34With the Bellabuster to fire!
09:39And Naomi, looks like she's gonna think twice about going after Nikki Bella and the Women's World champ said,
09:44I don't need any of this.
09:49Is she gonna walk out on her team?
09:52That one appears to be a possibility.
09:54Wait a minute.
09:55I don't care what-
09:59Wait a minute.
10:00Io from behind!
10:02Io's not so fast!
10:06Nikki Bella drops the champ!
10:09Io's scarred with a missile drop kick!
10:11Naomi in search of any sort of respite!
10:21Keep your eyes on Niven!
10:23Oh, and Piper with a double clothesline and now marking Io and Nikki!
10:29Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
10:30Talk about powerhouses!
10:34Look into this place rumble!
10:39Rhea with a headbutt!
10:44Riptide!
10:47Watch Chelsea Green from behind!
10:49Ooh!
10:55That's an ill-class decision by Ms. Green.
10:58And now Stephanie McCair with the SVB!
11:02The Stephanie McCair bomb on Green for the win!
11:06Here are your winners!
11:11The team of Io Sky, Nikki Bella, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie McCair!
11:18They say hell hath no fury like a woman scores.
11:23But we're gonna find out what happens when we make that three women at SummerSlam.
11:28Current Women's World Champion, Naomi, squares off with Rhea Ripley and Io Sky,
11:32both burning with vengeance in an all-out war for a title that each superstar claims as theirs.
11:41Coming up, sick and tired of the current John Cena?
11:44Cody Rhodes will settle for nothing less than the best version of the champion.
11:49I don't want to wrestle this John Cena.
11:54At SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena.
12:00Since winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, John Cena has taken on any and all challengers for his undisputed WWE title.
12:15His toughest challenge, however, may be one very angry and very motivated American nightmare.
12:20Rhodes won the King of the Ring crown a month ago, guaranteeing himself a rematch against Cena for the undisputed WWE Championship.
12:29A challenge which has seemingly sown some doubt in the champ's mind.
12:33Two weeks ago, Cena and Rhodes met to sign the contract for their WWE title match on SmackDown.
12:39But Cena wasn't too keen on putting pen to paper.
12:42I am not going to be at SummerSlam.
12:48I am emotionally exhausted.
12:51And we all feel that it is best I do not physically compete at SummerSlam.
12:57Cody, thank you so much.
12:59I appreciate you.
13:00You're gonna get that rematch.
13:02Good night, San Antonio.
13:04Rhodes was not gonna let Cena off the hook that easily.
13:08The American Nightmare took the fight to the WWE Champion until it looked like Cena would take the upper hand.
13:14But when an opportunity for Cody to make up for his past mistakes presented itself, Rhodes did not hesitate leveling Cena.
13:21Check the fine print at SummerSlam.
13:31It's a street fight!
13:35And last Friday on SmackDown, the American Nightmare addressed the WWE Universe after the shocking twist to the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam.
13:43There are street fights.
13:49And then there's what's going to happen at SummerSlam.
13:55We're not talking about virtue.
13:59We're not talking about victory.
14:02We're talking about violence.
14:06Because that's what virtue demands.
14:10Sometimes doing the right thing doesn't look like the right thing.
14:13Last week, John Cena saw that.
14:16He'll get plenty more at MetLife Stadium.
14:19But here's the tricky thing.
14:23I don't want to wrestle this John Cena.
14:30I don't want to fight a guy who didn't even want this match in the first place.
14:39I don't want to fight a guy who's counting the days until he's out the door.
14:44No, at SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena.
14:51Because if I'm gonna stand here and own it,
14:58I need to know that I can go through the very best and the title that John Cena has.
15:03It's the biggest title in our game.
15:05It means he is the very best.
15:08This isn't about nostalgia.
15:10This isn't about headlines.
15:12This is about a once in a generation superstar.
15:15Someone who redefined what it is to be a pro wrestler.
15:18So John Cena, if this is your last SummerSlam, come like it is your first.
15:24I want you up there talking to Stu the cameraman.
15:28I want you wearing the title the right way.
15:31I want you running to the ring.
15:33I want all the hustle.
15:35I want all the loyalty and the respect.
15:38We can beat it out of each other.
15:40I need to know.
15:44I need to know that this story that we have all been part of is not just fantasy.
15:52It's not just legacy.
15:54I need to know that it meant something.
15:58That it was real.
15:59And the only person who has the answer to that question is you, John Cena.
16:05I'll see you next week.
16:10Will the real John Cena please show up?
16:13Will John Cena even show up at all?
16:16One thing is for certain, Cody Rhodes is ready to take this street fight past the limit
16:21to regain the undisputed WWE Championship.
16:24The ultimate prize is on the line at SummerSlam Sunday on August 3rd.
16:35Tag made, Dominic has to come in the match now.
16:39Look at Dom pleading with Roxanne to get up off the floor outside.
16:44And here comes Styles.
16:46Looking to take the Intercontinental title from Dirty Dom at SummerSlam Sunday.
16:52There's that sliding forearm by Styles.
16:56And AJ fired up.
16:59This is a worst case scenario for the Intercontinental Champion.
17:03Ushiguroshi by Styles.
17:07Styles has taken over.
17:13AJ could be lining it up thinking about a phenomenal forearm with Dom's name on it.
17:18Oh, look at this.
17:19How's that for ride or die?
17:21Juliet coming to the rescue of Romeo.
17:26Roxanne Perez shielding Dominic Mysterio from a possible phenomenal forearm.
17:31Dom went for the cheap shot.
17:32Pele kick.
17:33There comes Roxanne and there she goes.
17:37And now Asuka takes her out.
17:40Kick rocks Raquel.
17:44And the Pirate Princess.
17:50Ready to fly.
17:56Insane elbow.
17:58We are cooking now.
18:00Dominic may want to turn around.
18:03AJ.
18:05Phenomenal forearm.
18:08Cover.
18:09AJ Styles pins the Intercontinental Champion.
18:13Here are your winners, the team of the Kabuki Warriors.
18:22And the phenomenal AJ Styles.
18:28AJ Styles pinned Dominic Mysterio last Monday, but can he do the same at SummerSlam?
18:34Dom Dom cannot run from the phenomenal one any longer.
18:37And Dom puts his Intercontinental title on the line on Sunday.
18:42And it will be a busy weekend for the Judgment Day as Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez put the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on the line against the unlikely duo of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
18:54Don't miss this battle on SummerSlam Saturday.
18:58The biggest party of the summer is shaping up to be bigger than ever.
19:03Not just with so many titles on the line, but also because we're getting Jelly Roll's first official match in WWE.
19:10After the Grammy nominee prevented Logan Paul from interfering on Drew McIntyre's behalf at Saturday night's main event, allowing Randy Orton to pick up the victory,
19:19the Vipers suggested a tag team match between the adversaries to settle the score at SummerSlam.
19:24Since then, there have been multiple altercations, all of which had the WWE Universe firmly on Jelly Roll's side.
19:32With all of the recent hate, Logan Paul was excited for a special edition of Impulsive TV in his hometown of Cleveland.
19:39But the Clevelanders weren't exactly excited to see the Mavericks' homecoming.
19:44Tonight I'm giving Cleveland a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
19:50I am gonna show that Kentucky Fried Convicts what a real inspiration to their hometown looks like.
19:56Cuz Jelly Roll, I got news for you.
19:59I'm sick of you talking about Cleveland like people from Cleveland actually like you.
20:05This is my show, so shut your mouth and show some respect.
20:09I brought you out here to let you know that you are getting in the ring with two of WWE's finest.
20:15Logan Paul, the moment maker, and the Scottish warrior, a 6'7", 300 pound giant, who I get to tag in.
20:26Who the hell do you think you are?
20:30I think I'm the guy that's fixing to put you in a body bag and ship you back to Westlake.
20:37I'm here, Logan, because I have been a WWE fan my entire life.
20:44And you made fun of my story, but my story has inspired millions and millions of people to change.
20:51Of rednecks around the world.
20:53You have the audacity to talk to me crazy when we know in your heart and soul you ain't nothing but a prime-pedaling punk-ass .
21:03You have made a really big mistake if you think I came here alone tonight, boys.
21:10I hear voices in my head, they counsel me, they understand.
21:16They talk to me crazy, I hear voices in my head.
21:21Here they go.
21:23They're wasting no time whatsoever, no time for talk.
21:27And McIntyre raking the eyes of the Viper.
21:31Cheap shots are plenty right off the bat.
21:34And Jenny Roll, bad things happen in that ring.
21:38And now it's two on one with Drew McIntyre right over the top of Jelly Roll.
21:45Jelly Roll came here to give light to the ring tonight.
21:50Oh, is he serving him up here to Logan Paul?
21:54Punishment time, this is a lesson for Jelly Roll.
21:58The beatdown is underway in the center of the ring.
22:03Logan Paul on the attack of the music superstar Jelly Roll.
22:08Oh, Randy's back up.
22:10Randy's got Drew to the outside they fight on.
22:14Takes more than a poke to the eye to keep the Viper down.
22:18Stomping the hell out of the Scottish Warrior.
22:21Jelly Roll back in a fight.
22:23Watch him look at Jelly, jab after jab.
22:26Shane, rattle and roll.
22:28And an elbow, back elbow, shoulder tackle by Jelly Roll.
22:33The work and the performance center perhaps paying off a bit, Wade.
22:37Using all of the power in that frame.
22:40They're just a big set of lungs.
22:43Now that kick to the midsection takes him down to his knees.
22:50To show you experience in this game is paramount.
22:54And Logan Paul has that certainly.
22:56Oh, he's locking in that big right hand, Wade.
22:58He's locking in that big powerful right hand.
23:01Jelly Roll escapes it.
23:03My, my, black hole slam.
23:05Oh my God.
23:06Ghost man slam by Jelly.
23:08Can you believe this?
23:13Logan Paul may have underestimated him at first.
23:16But defeating Jelly Roll in his debut match may not be as simple as the Maverick originally thought.
23:21This star studded tag team match comes to you at SummerSlam this Saturday.
23:29Coming up.
23:31The Wyatt Six put the WWE tag team titles on the line.
23:34Do we have new champs?
23:36But Andrade and Ray Phoenix weren't the only team the champs had to worry about.
23:41I have had enough of this.
23:51Del Toro off the top.
23:53Phoenix splash.
23:54Cover.
23:55JD McDonough saving the titles for the judgment day.
24:01McDonough's timing was impeccable.
24:04May have been the only reason the LWO don't own the gold now.
24:07But I don't know who got the worst to that extent.
24:09Oh my God.
24:10What the hell's he doing here?
24:11That's the Grande Americano.
24:15El Grande Americano is no business in this matchup.
24:18I told you it's some sort of issue with LWO.
24:20Trust me that bad blood goes back generations.
24:23And now Dragon Lee's here.
24:25Generations.
24:26The guy's been here two weeks.
24:27That's the future and the past of Lucha Libre.
24:29Del Toro can taste it.
24:32Now Americano's back.
24:37Who the hell is this now?
24:38The Grande Americano.
24:39The guy's a foot shorter than the other idiot.
24:42What are you talking about?
24:43Finn Balor from the top.
24:46Coup de Grasse.
24:47This other masked dude just.
24:49One, two, three.
24:51He just cost the LWO the tag titles.
24:56Here are your winners.
24:58And still the world tag team champions.
25:04The Judgment Day.
25:07What is going on?
25:08Now there's two?
25:09El Grande Americano.
25:10The Judgment Day all day.
25:13Well, that match had everything.
25:17Two El Grande Americanos.
25:19I mean, when you have two El Grandes, that's really the only thing worth mentioning.
25:24But still, what a win for the Judgment Day in an utterly chaotic Raw tag team division.
25:30And over on SmackDown, the tag team division is even more tumultuous.
25:34As evidenced last Friday when the Wyatt Six put the WWE tag team titles on the line against Andrade and Rey Fenix.
25:41But it didn't take long for the ring to get crowded.
25:47It kicks spinning elbow.
25:49That's spinning elbow by Andrade.
25:51Andrade was looking like he was going to have to win this on his own.
25:54But back from the dead is Rey Fenix rising.
25:57And they go flying.
25:58Here comes the message.
26:00This could be it, Wade.
26:02To become the champs.
26:04What in the world?
26:05Nikki Cross.
26:07Nikki Cross just pulled the referee out.
26:10Andrade and Rey Fenix had this thing won.
26:13They had it won.
26:15But a victory stolen from Andrade and Rey Fenix.
26:21And now a beatdown commences with this absolute freak of a human being that is Eric Rowan.
26:28Big Rowan.
26:29Big Rowan is immediately in there.
26:31And now, wait a second.
26:34Fraxium has made their way to the ring from the locker room.
26:38And Rowan takes care of them as well.
26:41And keep your eyes peeled because guess what?
26:43Here's the Motor City Machine Guns.
26:45What are we doing?
26:46Opening up the door to the locker room.
26:48The entire tag team division is making their way down to deal with the Wyatt Six.
26:53Well, the Wyatt Six have been running rampant over the entire tag division for weeks now.
26:58You've got to figure out something.
27:00If you have to team up to take him down, then so be it.
27:03And finally getting some steam on this enormous man that is Eric Rowan.
27:09Phoenix and Andrade are back on their feet.
27:11Motor City Machine Guns in the ring.
27:13But Gacy and Loomis back to action.
27:15Rowan is just taking care of everybody.
27:17I mean Rowan's a one man.
27:19Oh, the Prophets are here.
27:21Big Doc and Montez Ford are here.
27:25The SmackDown tag locker room is completely clearing out at this point.
27:30This is unbelievable.
27:32We're in the midst of a title match that Andrade and Phoenix should have won.
27:37The next thing you know, we've got the entire tag team division.
27:40And what a DIY who earlier tonight were discussing something like this.
27:46And now everything has absolutely gone haywire.
27:50Well, if it's Friday now in the tag division, we are getting a riot.
27:54We should have expected that match.
27:56Max thrown out a long time ago, but who cares?
28:00Here comes Taz, right into your living room.
28:04They're all laid out.
28:06Montez Ford has laid everybody out.
28:09Well, now we get the officials out here about 15 minutes too late.
28:14I have had enough of this.
28:18It's obvious to me and everybody watching that you lot are hellbent on destroying each other over those tag team titles.
28:26And since you didn't get out of your system the first time around, here's what's gonna happen.
28:32At SummerSlam, those tag team titles go high above the ring.
28:40And it will be tables, ladders, and chairs for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
28:52All of them.
28:54After a month of turmoil in the SmackDown Tag Team division, it all finally comes to a head on SummerSlam Sunday.
29:00The blue brand's top six teams will compete in a tables, ladders, and chairs match with the WWE Tag Team titles on the line at MetLife Stadium.
29:10Look, I already know that Becky doesn't like to play by the rules.
29:21In fact, that's the only reason that she was able to beat me for the championship in the first place.
29:27So I thought, fine, let's try it her way.
29:34Can't break the rules if there were no rules to be broken, right?
29:38Some of you guys, you might think that I'm playing right into her hands.
29:45But the thing you need to understand is, I've seen everything that Becky Lynch has ever done.
29:51I know exactly what she's capable of in this type of matchup.
29:55But she doesn't know what I'm capable of.
30:00In fact, I'm not even sure if I know what I'm capable of.
30:06All I know is I am prepared to go to a place that I have never gone before.
30:11She's gonna have to because the match Saturday, remember Corey, is no disqualification, no count out.
30:19If Lyra doesn't win, she doesn't get a shot in the Intercontinental Championship ever again as long as Becky's the champ.
30:25Incredibly high stakes for both Valkyria and Lynch.
30:29And Lyra's got her feet planted like she's ready to fight.
30:32But wait a minute.
30:34Valkyria was a step ahead.
30:36Becky Lynch came out from out of nowhere with a kendo stick.
30:40But Lyra Valkyria was ready for Becky, and now unloading on Lynch with a kendo stick,
30:45which would be legal on SummerSlam Sunday.
30:49Lyra swinging that lumber like O'Neal Cruz at the expense of the Intercontinental Champion.
30:55And Lynch trying to get the hell out of Dodge.
30:58And Becky intercepting.
31:01Lyra now, it's Becky's turn.
31:04But Lyra not gonna allow it to happen, was gonna go for Nightwing, and Becky retreats.
31:10No count outs, no disqualifications, no respect.
31:13Becky and Lyra are ready to duke it out one last time for the Intercontinental Championship.
31:18And neither woman is going to hold anything back.
31:21Can Lyra become the first ever two-time Intercontinental Champion?
31:25Or will Becky shut Lyra out from challenging for the title ever again?
31:29It's all on the line this Sunday when SummerSlam hits New Jersey.
31:34Lyra has made it clear that there has to be a definitive winner in her latest bout with Becky at SummerSlam.
31:42And in that same vein, when CM Punk steps into the ring with Gunter at SummerSlam,
31:46the two superstars will be competing not only for the World Heavyweight Championship,
31:50but another definitive title.
31:52The true best in the world.
31:54Last Monday on Raw, Gunter addressed the WWE Universe,
31:57gloating about his supposed victory over Punk two weeks ago,
32:01when he left Punk speechless.
32:03The thing about CM Punk, however,
32:05you can't keep the voice of the voiceless silent for very long.
32:11Speechless?
32:14No.
32:16More dumbfounded, but not because of anything you did or said,
32:22because of the moment and the gravity of this situation.
32:27It dawned on me, standing across the ring from somebody such,
32:34as great as you, belt around your waist.
32:42It dawned on me that I don't want to be World Heavyweight Champion.
32:50I need to be World Heavyweight Champion.
33:06I need to be World Heavyweight Champion like I need air in my lungs.
33:15I need, I need to be World Heavyweight Champion like I need my heart to pump blood through my veins.
33:25I need to be World Heavyweight Champion and you.
33:32For as great as you are, for all the great things you've accomplished.
33:36You dare come out here and say that I don't deserve to call myself the best in the world?
33:42I've earned the right to call myself the best in the world.
33:59And I've earned the right to call myself the best in the world and be arrogant about it.
34:04But you are out here as World Heavyweight Champion being as arrogant as me, but
34:10you can't back it up.
34:12I have left a trail of bodies, a hall of famers, legends, and superstars that you've only dreamed to be in the ring with.
34:21And when you compare your career, as great as it's been so far, with my career, this isn't apples to apples.
34:29You know what, Panga, I have enough of that.
34:31Shut the-
34:33I wasn't finished.
34:43There's levels to this, kid.
34:47And you're gonna find out a hard lesson at the SummerSlam on Saturday.
34:52You are not on my level.
34:54For as great as you are, Saturday night, I'm leaving World Heavyweight Champion.
35:02But hey, at least you'll be able to share a ring and finally feel what it's like to be in the ring with the one, the only, best in the world, C-A-R.
35:25They may belong to different eras.
35:27They may possess different skill sets, but their personal stances couldn't be more the same.
35:31And yet, contradictory.
35:33While one has long been touted as the best in the world, the other believes he's the only one who can claim it as World Heavyweight Champion.
35:41So, Gunter and CM Punk look to prove who not only best represents the moniker, but the title as well at SummerSlam.
35:48And that's just the beginning for night one of the massive two-night event.
35:52They were all once inconvenienced as partners, but both Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez and Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair have turned their unwanted alliances into unwavering cohesion.
36:04Ones that will be put to the test over those women's tag team titles, SummerSlam Saturday.
36:09To say that Karrion Kross has been Sami Zayn's cross to bear would be an understatement.
36:15Kross has made it his responsibility to expose Sami for who he really is.
36:19Whether it's wearing away at Sami's psyche with his cryptic words or Zayn's body with a steel rod.
36:25So, with each man owning a win in their saga, morals be damned for whoever gets this victory at MetLife.
36:32After being called out as an outsider by Logan Paul, of all people, the four-time Grammy nominated Jelly Roll has seemingly traded the lyrics for the larians.
36:40Now, this son of a sinner forms RK Roll with Randy Orton to take on Paul and Drew McIntyre to show that no matter the arena, genre or industry, Jelly Roll brings a hit.
36:52A storm warning is in effect for the metro area from bell time to tippy time.
36:57People part of style and strength, poise and power, brains and brawn, gift and grit meet for the WWE Women's Championship.
37:04As Tiffany Stratton defends against the queen of the ring, Jade Hargill.
37:08Oppressive, suffocating, downright destructive.
37:11All accurately depict the effects Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker have had since coming together with or without Seth Frieden Rollins.
37:19But the bloodline defined those terms and with the main event ooze and the OTC remembering their bond,
37:26they look to also define that blood is indeed thicker than water at the first ever two-night Summerslam.
37:32Beginning this Saturday, August 2nd, live from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
37:36It's the biggest, biggest event of the summer.
37:43Coming up.
37:45Before the huge tag team match at a historic two-night Summerslam, Jey Uso has one last big hurdle to clear.
37:51Will main event Jey Uso yeet his way to New Jersey or will big Bronson Reed leave a path of destruction on the road to Summerslam?
37:58Oh my God!
38:00Last Monday on Raw with Jey Uso and Roman Reigns coming up on their tag team match against Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker at Summerslam,
38:11Paul Heyman issued a warning to main event Jey. Roman only has malicious intentions, lying to Jey to maintain power under the guise of fighting for family, just like he did to Paul Heyman.
38:24Uso, however, wouldn't take the bait, instead looking to prove that blood is in fact thicker than water come Saturday.
38:31But unfortunately for the yeet master, Paul Heyman made it very clear what would happen if Uso disregarded the Oracle's advice.
38:40Jey would be beaten down by Bronson Reed ahead of Summerslam in the main event on Raw.
38:45Jey Uso just brimming with confidence in an incredible 2025 for main event Jey Uso.
38:52Came into his own as a singles competitor.
38:54Former world champion.
38:57And Jey now, with a suicide dive, takes out Bronson.
39:01It's interesting to see Jey and Roman together at Summerslam.
39:08Remember they had probably-
39:10Oh wait a minute, wait a minute!
39:11Oh no, Braun Breaker with a spare!
39:13Braun Breaker!
39:14And that's gonna call for a disqualification.
39:19Breaker barely down the aisle of the way and spearing Jey Uso into tomorrow.
39:25I told you, Cole, this match wasn't about the winner's purse.
39:28This was about an advantage before Summerslam.
39:31And Braun Breaker just got what he was looking for.
39:35Well, Braun Breaker told the story he had an idea.
39:37And obviously the idea was to double-team and beat the hell out of Jey Uso five nights away from Summerslam.
39:43And that's what Breaker and Reed are doing.
39:44It's genius if you think about it.
39:46You've only got the OTC to worry about at Summerslam a handicap match against-
39:50Uh-oh.
39:51Uh-oh.
39:52It is thunderous in Detroit!
40:01Paul Heyman having a hissy fit at ringside!
40:02Here comes Roman Reigns!
40:03The OTC coming to the aid of main event Jey Uso!
40:08And Roman unloading now on Braun Breaker!
40:09Reigns sends Breaker outside the ring!
40:10Turns his attention now to the OZilla!
40:15The power of Roman Reigns just couldn't quite get the 330 pounder up!
40:22Shoulder first goes Reed!
40:23Uh-oh.
40:24Uh-oh.
40:25Uh-oh.
40:26Uh-oh.
40:27Uh-oh.
40:28Uh-oh.
40:29Uh-oh.
40:30Uh-oh.
40:31And Roman Reigns just couldn't quite get the 330 pounder up.
40:37Zobaczmy, że nie mogłabym się do 330-połówu.
40:44Współpraca z Wiedemem.
41:01Roman i Jey nie sądziłem.
41:04Oh my god, oh my goodness!
41:07Breaker about split, Roman Reigns in half, Bronson Reed bulldozed through Jey Uso.
41:14And now the unpredictable badass Breaker.
41:18Oh no Cole.
41:20Oh my goodness, things are about to go from bad to worse for Jey Uso.
41:23Bronson Reed made the promise earlier, he won't stop till they're down, out, and tsunami!
41:37This looks bad, Cole, I don't know if Jey's gonna make it to SummerSlam.
41:42Roman Reigns trying to drag himself up at our announce desk.
41:47Braun Breaker can't believe that Reigns is making his way back to his feet after that spear.
41:52Look out, look out, Cole.
41:58Oh my goodness, Braun Breaker!
42:03That's it, about decapitated Roman Reigns!
42:12Breaker, breakneck speed!
42:14Spear!
42:15Roman and Jey!
42:16Spear to the barricade by Braun Breaker!
42:20We said last week, we said last week that the old sheriff was back in town.
42:33And it was time for the young guns to pay homage.
42:50Tonight everything changed.
42:52The biggest party of the summer is shaping up to be a big challenge for the OTC and main event Jey Uso.
43:00Saturday at SummerSlam, Roman and Jey take on Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed in a match that could make or break Braun and Bronson's newfound dominance here on Raw.
43:11But once all is said and done between these four superstars, that's hardly the end of the festivities.
43:17This function is raging all weekend, so let's take a look at what's in store for SummerSlam Sunday.
43:23A Money in the Bank cash-in during Rio Ripley and Io Sky's match at Evolution may have earned Naomi the women's world title.
43:32But a triple threat against both superstars at once may crash the champion's party before it's hardly even begun.
43:39So if I were Naomi, I'd take my own advice and proceed with caution.
43:46After attempting to have Jacob Batuu locked up, Solo Sokoa finds himself locked in with his former enforcer in the confines of a steel cage.
43:55And whether he's behind bars or not, the Samoan werewolf is off the chain and ready to take back that United States Championship.
44:02But as far as the Women's Intercontinental Championship is concerned, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria are both free as a bird with no count outs and no disqualifications holding them back.
44:12However, if Lyra loses, there's also no more rematches for the former champ.
44:17Rather than seeking out a match, Dominic Mysterio has been avoiding one, as he's worn his doctor's note like a suit of armor against AJ Styles.
44:25But with the Intercontinental Champion finally cleared to compete, it's right back into action for Dirty Dom as he takes on the phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
44:34The SmackDown Tag Team division hasn't known a single moment of peace this entire year, and it's only about to get more chaotic.
44:41Because at SummerSlam, the Wyatt Six defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against Andrade and Rey Fenix, DIY, the Motor City Machine Guns, Braxium, and the Street Profits in a six pack, tables, ladders, and chairs match.
44:56You could argue that the contract was signed under duress, but Cody Rhodes will get his rematch in a street fight with the undisputed WWE Champion.
45:04And if John Cena can't prove he truly is the last real champion in WWE, then he'll be handing that title right back to the American Nightmare.
45:13And it all goes down in a massive first-ever two-night SummerSlam, streaming live on Peacock in the US and Netflix internationally this Saturday and Sunday.
45:23Well, you may have thought the temperature in New Jersey couldn't get any hotter,
45:29but Garden State is just about to start heating up as the first-ever two-night SummerSlam makes its way to MetLife Stadium.
45:38With history set to be made, I can guarantee each superstar will be fighting to etch their name in greatness,
45:45cementing their legacy in this momentous event.
45:48As for me, I have to get going.
45:50I hear traffic getting to the New Jersey Turnbike gets pretty crazy,
45:53and I don't want to miss the show and show up late to the party.
45:56I'm Megan Morant.
45:57I'll see you guys back here next week to catch you up to speed on the madness from SummerSlam weekend this week in WWE.
