01:15but they have to get through Cena and Batista, live next.
01:20The World Tag Team titles are on the line.
01:33The champions, Batista and Cena, versus the challengers, Dibiase and Rhodes.
01:39It's a volatile situation.
01:40Who's gonna start this thing?
01:41Batista and Cena aren't even gonna be able to agree on this, I don't think.
01:45Whoop.
01:58I guess Cena's gonna let Batista start.
02:01So for now, the fragile fruits is holding between the Tag Team Champions.
02:05Wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:06Wait, wait.
02:07For a moment, John Cena tag.
02:08There's a tag.
02:09It's a legal tag to Belray.
02:10Uh-oh, there's a couple of tags.
02:13And from behind, Rhodes and Dibiase, hell bent on winning back the Tag Team Golden,
02:17folking the rematch clause here tonight.
02:20This could be a problem for the champion Cena and Batista King throughout this matchup.
02:24Well, Cena and Batista are gonna have to stay focused on the Tag Team Championship somehow.
02:29I don't know how they're gonna do it, but somehow they're gonna have to.
02:31You know, we always don't agree with a lot of things that Dibiase and Rhodes say,
02:34but earlier tonight they made a point, that being that you're a team.
02:39You have to be a team to win the World Tag Team titles and then hold on to them.
02:43Which may mean that Rhodes and Dibiase could be the famous here tonight, off moves like that.
02:48And that cocky Rhodes into the cover, hooks the leg, and Cena kicks at it too.
02:54Well, you know one thing, all week long Rhodes and Dibiase have been looking at film,
03:00studying Batista, studying Cena, thinking about nothing but this rematch.
03:05Cena and Batista have been thinking about each other.
03:07And SummerSlam.
03:08That's against John Cena.
03:10The flying shoulder block, which Batista will feel Sunday at SummerSlam.
03:16Side slam by Cena, there goes Dibiase, and suddenly Cena's in control.
03:22Vintage John Cena.
03:29Well, wait a minute.
03:34Oh, you can't see me.
03:39Last week it was a slap, this week a you can't see me.
03:42Five-knuckle shuffle from Cena.
03:45Can Batista and Cena keep it together?
03:47We'll find out when we come back.
03:49We are back live on Monday Night Raw, the World Tag Team titles are on the line.
03:56And King, the story of the matchup, which continued through the commercial break,
03:59has been simple.
04:00The ability of the challengers, Dibiase and Rhodes, to work as a team.
04:04The inability of the champions Cena and Batista to work as a team.
04:08Yeah, we see Batista now with his arm out stressed.
04:11It looks like he wants to tag, but there was one point in this match when
04:16Will Rhodes and Dibiase had Cena outside the ring on the floor, and Batista didn't even have to go around and help him.
04:22And an air fall for Dibiase and Rhodes.
04:24Cena, Batista, tag team champs, but opponents Sunday at SummerSlam.
04:28No.
04:29And they exchanged some inflamed.
04:30There's the tag.
04:31And Rhodes earlier tonight, but it didn't mean.
04:33Cena couldn't make a tag.
04:34And here comes the animal.
04:36One, two, three, one, two.
04:40The powerhouse Batista.
04:42No.
04:43On a mission to prove that he's better than Cena Sunday.
04:47And Dibiase and Rhodes on a mission to win back tag team gold.
04:55Spinebuster.
05:00The animal is unleashed.
05:02And there's a little bit of taunting from the animal to his partner John Cena.
05:07A Batista bomb here would ensure.
05:13Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
05:15He did it.
05:17What the?
05:21Good grief.
05:22The taunting went to a higher level, and Rhodes took advantage.
05:27Right to the knee and the hamstring of the animal to take out the power gain.
05:33Man, that looked bad.
05:35I tell you, it's been some strategy by Rhodes and Dibiase.
05:38Trying to pin these two opponents, Batista and Cena, against one another here tonight.
05:43Trying to win back that tag team titles.
05:46Look at the fight in Batista, the intensity of the former world champion.
05:54I'm gonna tell you something, Batista's knee and leg has got to be hurting him.
06:00Cody Rhodes.
06:02Shoulders down, kick out in two.
06:05Yeah, Batista needs to tag out.
06:08In a bad way, but the question is, will Cena make a tag?
06:12Look at this.
06:13One leg.
06:15And this could be the moment of truth.
06:20Well, that put Cody Rhodes on the map, but that did just as much damage to Batista.
06:25He's got the tag now.
06:26Payback for last week.
06:31That was a tag.
06:44And again, look at this, Dibiase.
06:46Bowie stayed up and they've got it.
06:48Dibiase and Rhodes have won the tag team titles again.
06:51And the new World Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes and Chan DiBiase.
07:00We talked about it, King, and we talked about it.
07:02And finally things broke down between Batista and Cena.
07:06And Dibiase and Rhodes took advantage.
07:10Batista and John Cena could not put their personal differences aside long enough
07:16to retain the World Tag Title.
07:18Now Cena wants Batista back in the ring.
07:25They're not partners anymore.
07:27No, their opponents rivals.
07:30Hey, wait a minute.
07:39The partners again to fend off Dibiase and Rhodes.
07:44Dibiase and Rhodes, look at it,
07:48take a shoot shot on the former champions.
07:51And Batista and Cena making the new champs pay.
07:54Now the animal back in the ring and he wants Cena to return.
08:05Cena can sense that our fans don't want to see him walk out on the animal.
08:30Hey, hey, hey.
08:35While General Manager Adam Lee sending his security to the ring,
08:40wants to preserve that main event that Adam Lee made for SummerSlam Sunday.
08:45Cena versus Batista, the ultimate showdown.
08:48Cena and Batista want to go right now.
08:50Adam Lee obviously trying to get control out here.
08:55The general manager is out here at ringside.
09:00Our fans are screaming, let them fight.
09:05I agree, let them fight.
09:06Well, they will Sunday.
09:08Oh, here we go.
09:13Batista and Cena's fragile truce has finally imploded.
09:17You're gonna need more security.
09:21Shambles and confusion and disarray.
09:27Batista, Cena, these guys want each other.
09:37A deluge and torrent of emotions.
09:40Referee, security guards trying to pull these two apart.
