00:07:09oh
00:07:11oh
00:07:15oh
00:07:33oh
00:07:35oh
00:07:37oh right
00:07:37Ladies and gentlemen,
00:07:57my name is Paul Heyman and let's be clear about the evidence that is before you, I am the GOAT.
00:08:27I'm not just the greatest of all time, I am your humble oracle.
00:08:39Humble by the fact that I stand here tonight in the presence of the future of WWE,
00:08:53the big dog who patrols our yard, Braun Breaker.
00:09:01Humble, humbled by the fact that I stand here tonight in the same ring as the tribal thief,
00:09:17the owner of the Shulafalla, Big Bronson Reed.
00:09:29Now at this point, I would be introducing you to the champ, the OTC, Roman Reigns.
00:09:47But Roman Reigns hasn't been champion for a year and a half now, has he?
00:10:09I would be standing here and introducing you to the champion of the world,
00:10:19the best in the world, CM Punk.
00:10:31CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:10:41But CM Punk wasn't champion long enough for them to put his side plates on the title belt.
00:10:53Oh, you all were part of it on Saturday night.
00:11:01Not only did CM Punk have one of the greatest title matches in history with Gunther,
00:11:07but there he was, thanking you for chanting his name, bringing him back to WWE after a decade.
00:11:17And CM Punk thought he would be married to that title forever.
00:11:25But he wasn't.
00:11:27Because not only did Seth Rollins crash the wedding,
00:11:33he stole the honeymoon with the title and she was good.
00:11:41So let's do this properly, ladies and gentlemen,
00:11:51the really defending undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,
00:12:02Seth Freakin' Rollins!
00:12:09The good to see Seth Rollins!
00:12:16The bold to win!
00:12:27The bold to win!
00:12:31The bold to win!
00:12:34The bold to win!
00:12:38Shame on you.
00:12:54Shame on every single one of you who turned your back on me
00:13:03after I won the main event of Wrestlemania.
00:13:12Shame on every single one of you who for months taunted me with chants of CM Punk.
00:13:33Shame on every single one of you who for months have taunted me with chants of OTC.
00:13:43OTC, OTC, OTC, OTC, OTC, OTC, OTC, OTC.
00:13:52Here's a lesson.
00:13:59Never, ever doubt Seth freaking Rollins again.
00:14:07Is Roman Reigns the World Heavyweight Champion?
00:14:13No.
00:14:14Is CM Punk the World Heavyweight Champion?
00:14:18No.
00:14:19I am the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:14:25And shame on every single one of you who turned your back on me.
00:14:43I've been a March man for months, Brooklyn.
00:14:46Shame not just on those in this crowd and those at home who've turned their back on me.
00:14:57But shame on every single person in that locker room
00:15:03who made it their mission to stop me from successfully cashing in my Money in the Bank contracts.
00:15:23Everyone back there, they think they're so smart, Paul.
00:15:29They think they're so clever.
00:15:33They're gonna stop me at every single turn.
00:15:38Need I remind you,
00:15:41I always have a plan B.
00:15:52And this plan B was top secret.
00:15:59I told two people in the entire world.
00:16:02One was my beautiful, incredible, intercontinental champion of a wife.
00:16:16And the other was my Oracle.
00:16:20And together, we've achieved what we set out to achieve.
00:16:34We have absolute power.
00:16:39And there is nobody who can stop us.
00:16:46This is the past, the present, and the future.
00:16:52This is the way forward.
00:16:55This is the vision.
00:16:59The vision.
00:17:19Oh, yeah.
00:17:49Oh, yeah.
00:18:19First of all, uh, congratulations, Visionary.
00:18:30Congratulations, Oracle.
00:18:33Congratulations, morons.
00:18:37Let me talk to you.
00:18:38Yeah.
00:18:43Right now, I'm not here for a fight.
00:18:46I'm just here to answer some questions.
00:18:49Because you've left people with a lot of questions.
00:18:51A lot of people are out there wondering right now.
00:18:52They're thinking, man, Seth Rollins, he had the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:18:57So why would he have to fake an injury?
00:18:59Why would he fake the injury when he already had the case?
00:19:03And I'll tell you why.
00:19:06You weren't faking the injury to get that.
00:19:10You were faking the injury to get out of something else.
00:19:13Let's just go ahead and rewind our mind just a little bit.
00:19:15Going into Saturday night's main event,
00:19:17I said I wanted your dignity and I wanted to hurt you.
00:19:24And what'd you do?
00:19:26You faked an injury.
00:19:28And I didn't get the chance to hurt you the way I wanted to.
00:19:31But I'll tell you this.
00:19:32To your credit.
00:19:34You got up.
00:19:35You ate a BFT.
00:19:37And I got the three count.
00:19:38And that's where things get a little bit interesting.
00:19:47Because at this point, you've pulled the wool so far over everybody's eyes,
00:19:52I think you're blinded yourself.
00:19:54You got a visionary with no vision.
00:19:57Even your oracle didn't see this one coming.
00:19:59Because I'm off, enjoying a little bit of time off.
00:20:02I'm just taking my time.
00:20:03A little vacation.
00:20:05I tune in to SummerSlam.
00:20:06I see what you did.
00:20:08And I said, I got to get to Brooklyn.
00:20:14So now I stand in Brooklyn.
00:20:16I'm looking at you with one thing in mind to remind you.
00:20:19I was the last one to beat you.
00:20:21And I'll damn sure be the next one to beat you.
00:20:24The only difference being, only difference being, you have now given me the ammunition.
00:20:33Because last time, I wanted to hurt you real bad.
00:20:36And I still want to hurt you.
00:20:37But the only thing is, now I can hurt you way worse than I ever could have.
00:20:41Because when I beat you, I will take that World Heavyweight Championship off of you,
00:20:46giving you another really short reign.
00:20:49Because what I'm saying is, there's no better place than now.
00:20:53And there's no better, I'm sorry, there's no better place than here.
00:20:56And there's no better time than now.
00:21:06You got some guts, Knight.
00:21:09You want to come into my ring?
00:21:11Challenge me for my World Heavyweight Championship.
00:21:19You don't think I got the guts?
00:21:22You don't think I got the balls?
00:21:25You want to fight me right here tonight in Brooklyn?
00:21:29Live on Netflix for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:21:34Seth freaking Rollins versus LA Knight.
00:21:41No.
00:21:42No.
00:21:49Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:21:58Hello, Brooklyn.
00:22:01Pardon the interruption, Seth.
00:22:03I just need to get a couple things off of my chest.
00:22:07Normally, I would not make a World Championship match with zero promotion.
00:22:13But normally, Seth, normally a WWE superstar wouldn't have his medical team lie to my medical team week after week after week.
00:22:24Normally, Seth, a World Heavyweight Champion wouldn't lie to his general manager and certainly wouldn't lie to the WWE Universe.
00:22:35What I'm saying, Seth, is to hell with normal.
00:22:43It will be Seth freaking Rollins versus LA Knight.
00:22:50It will be for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:22:55And listen closely.
00:22:57This is my favorite part.
00:22:59It will be tonight in Brooklyn.
00:23:02Oh, and wait, I almost forgot one more thing.
00:23:08Since you stole, you stole a great moment from the people at SummerSlam, it's only fitting that I steal something from you.
00:23:17Hey, Bron, Bronson, you boys are banned from ringside.
00:23:23And all, all of that is official.
00:23:29You got to give our general manager credit.
00:23:34Adam Pearce giving us an impromptu world title match tonight.
00:23:38It doesn't get much bigger than this.
00:23:41LA Knight will challenge Seth freaking Rollins for the World Heavyweight title tonight in Barclays Center.
00:23:49This place is rocking with good reason, Cole.
00:23:55Come on, now.
00:23:57Do you see how I handled AJ Styles?
00:24:00I mean, no better way to celebrate a 20-year anniversary.
00:24:04Hey, we never doubted you for a second, mate.
00:24:06Hey, ladies.
00:24:07How are you guys holding up?
00:24:09You know, Finn, we're fine.
00:24:10Rocks, let's go regroup.
00:24:13Bye, bro.
00:24:13Hey, what are you guys doing in my hallway?
00:24:17Chachos.
00:24:18Your hallway.
00:24:18Yeah, my hallway.
00:24:19Why don't you show some respect?
00:24:21Because I am the king of the luchadores.
00:24:26Respect?
00:24:27You're talking about respect.
00:24:30If you want to earn my respect,
00:24:33and if you want to win your respect,
00:24:36let's have a match tonight.
00:24:46You're on.
00:24:47Well, see you then.
00:24:52Hey, Dom!
00:25:03You know, whoa, whoa, hold on, boys.
00:25:05Toot-toot for a little bit.
00:25:06I'm not going to slap him around.
00:25:08Not yet.
00:25:09What you did last night.
00:25:16It was clever.
00:25:18I admit that.
00:25:19Well, you got the boot off and then hit me with it.
00:25:21And I got to give it to you.
00:25:22But here's the thing.
00:25:25I'm still coming after that icy title.
00:25:28And as long as you have it,
00:25:29I'm coming after you.
00:25:32You're going to run out of tricks.
00:25:35Just know,
00:25:37pound for pound,
00:25:38move for move,
00:25:39hold for hold.
00:25:40I'm one of the best.
00:25:44Time's running out.
00:25:46It's a friendly reminder.
00:25:47Just wanted you to know, Dom Dom.
00:25:49Yeah, time's running out
00:25:50because you're getting old.
00:25:52He's got a boot mark.
00:25:53Fair warning from AJ Styles.
00:25:55The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:26:24Introducing first
00:26:26from Bulgaria,
00:26:29the 270 pound,
00:26:34Rupin.
00:26:37Corey, you ready for what Sheamus
00:26:39will call a banger?
00:26:43No doubt about it.
00:26:44Two of the heaviest hitters in the game
00:26:47ready to run it back one more time.
00:26:50Consider this your official banger.
00:26:54Warning.
00:26:54Next.
00:26:55Go on!
00:27:04Again, Rusev overall in his career,
00:27:07three and one
00:27:08in singles matches versus Sheamus,
00:27:11but they're one and one
00:27:12over the past couple of matchups.
00:27:15Consider this something of a rubber match
00:27:18in his budding rivalry.
00:27:19Two long-time close friends
00:27:21turned bitter rivals.
00:27:23And I want to remind everyone
00:27:37that Clash in Paris
00:27:38and Monday Night Raw are coming to
00:27:40La Defense Arena in Paris, France.
00:27:42Sunday, August 31st,
00:27:44and Monday, September 1st.
00:27:46Combo tickets are on sale now
00:27:47via Ticketmaster.
00:27:50So Rusev gets set to go into a physical war
00:27:53with the Celtic warrior Sheamus tonight
00:27:55on a night where we've already learned, Corey,
00:27:57we're going to have a World Heavyweight Championship match,
00:28:00Rollins and Night.
00:28:01Great decision by General Manager Adam Pearce
00:28:04forcing Rollins to defend his gold
00:28:07here tonight in Brooklyn.
00:28:09And let's not forget
00:28:10Dirty Dominic Mysterio,
00:28:12our fearless intercontinental champion,
00:28:14going to step in the ring
00:28:15with Dragon Lee of the LWO.
00:28:18What did he call himself?
00:28:19The king of the luchadores.
00:28:22Rusev says,
00:28:28Come on, Sheamus.
00:28:29I'm sick of waiting for you.
00:28:31Let's get this fight on.
00:28:33We are just as excited
00:28:35to watch these two throw down yet again.
00:28:38Buckle up, grit your teeth.
00:28:41Well, you know,
00:28:41at SummerSlam this past weekend,
00:28:44people around the world shocked.
00:28:46Let's check in with some
00:28:47of the international commentators.
00:28:49Let's go!
00:29:14No!
00:29:17Logan!
00:29:18Frost, Blast, Deuce, they piss!
00:29:21And Deuce, Jelly Roll, Deuce!
00:29:23We are the winner of the belt!
00:29:25Word and Deuce!
00:29:29Whoa!
00:29:31Whoa!
00:29:32Whoa!
00:29:34No!
00:29:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:29:38Calle en una puleta!
00:29:40Calle en una puleta, Marcelo!
00:29:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:29:42We are going to assist to something dangerous!
00:29:49There's a stop!
00:29:51Wow!
00:29:53Well done!
00:29:55Sam Rollins has fucked up the game!
00:29:59Rollins!
00:30:12And Wednesday Addams returns to Prowl, the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await.
00:30:27Creators, showrunners Alfred Goff, and Miles Miller return for the spine-tingling second season of Wednesday,
00:30:35alongside executive producer and director Tim Burton.
00:30:42And there he is, the host of the Joe Budden Podcast.
00:30:47World-famous rapper Joe Budden in the house tonight in Brooklyn.
00:31:01It's Fight Night, baby!
00:31:12His opponent from Dublin, Ireland!
00:31:18Sheeem-Hait!
00:31:21And Sheamus wasted a little time heading to the ring and we're underway!
00:31:24This one is going to be an all-out war!
00:31:26Remember what happened last week, Corey?
00:31:28Sheamus knocking off Brace and Waller, Rusef, but again get it wrong.
00:31:31Rusev viciously attacking the Celtic Warrior with Sheamus' own shillelagh.
00:31:36Sheamus very eager, as is Rusev, to mix it up once again.
00:31:40No absence of malice in this one tonight.
00:31:43And now Rusev just mounting Sheamus and hammering away with the right hands.
00:31:47Again, this is such a deep, personal, intense rivalry.
00:31:51We've talked about it a number of times, Corey.
00:31:53It dates back to Rusev leaving WWE back in 2019.
00:31:57Rusev believed that he did what he had to do in his career.
00:31:59And Sheamus abandoned him.
00:32:01And as a result, whereas Sheamus believes every man is good enough to stand on their own two feet,
00:32:07Rusev no exception.
00:32:08But tonight, Sheamus looking to settle this score once and for all.
00:32:12And now Sheamus sending Rusev up over the top rope to the floor.
00:32:17Through their last several encounters, these two have redefined the term brutality
00:32:21as pertains to WWE action.
00:32:24Oh, and Rusev with a kick right to the midsection, dropping Sheamus to a knee.
00:32:28Deldick Warrior got a little over-eager and nearly sent through the barricade by the Bulgarian.
00:32:34Rusev just an intense look on his face.
00:32:41Driving Sheamus back into the ring.
00:32:43It's odd that this relationship became so sour for you.
00:32:50These men were very, very close a decade ago.
00:32:53I think it all boils down to Rusev's unique worldview in that he believes he returned to WWE
00:33:00so that the rest of the roster could learn from his mistakes.
00:33:03Rusev believes he returned to WWE for the betterment of the industry.
00:33:09Whether or not anybody else views that to be the case,
00:33:11Sheamus does it as Rusev pulls his way into Sheamus and drives him toward the corner.
00:33:17We're at the Barclays Center tonight.
00:33:20Brooklyn, Monday Night Raw.
00:33:22The Raw after SummerSlam.
00:33:25And what a kick by Rusev.
00:33:26Again, dropping Sheamus.
00:33:28You can hear the WWE Universe tonight in Brooklyn obviously not feeling any hangover from SummerSlam.
00:33:35What a weekend it was.
00:33:37Barclays Center here.
00:33:38Speaking of SummerSlam back in 2015,
00:33:41Sheamus with a great matchup and a win over the Apex Predator Randy Orton on that night.
00:33:47Look at this.
00:33:49Just blatant disrespect from Rusev stomping on the face of a fallen Celtic warrior.
00:33:55Rusev's hungry, Corey.
00:33:56It's been six years since she's held a championship here in WWE that the United States title.
00:34:03Oh, and what an uppercut by Rusev.
00:34:05Well, you'd have to imagine.
00:34:06It's safe to say that Rusev has designs on holding gold again here in WWE.
00:34:10But right now, priority one is disposing of Sheamus.
00:34:14Yeah, Sheamus a four-time world champion.
00:34:18Rusev again dropping Sheamus.
00:34:20This time with a knee to the midsection.
00:34:22Well, one thing's for sure.
00:34:23Ever since returning to WWE, Rusev's gotten himself perhaps in the best physical condition of his career.
00:34:28He's a little lighter than he was his first run.
00:34:31Sheamus looks great as well.
00:34:33No doubt about it.
00:34:35The Celtic warrior now trying to lift Rusev up on his shoulders.
00:34:39Oh, no.
00:34:39Oh, no.
00:34:40Not a white noise from here.
00:34:43This will end.
00:34:43Rusev wants it for all.
00:34:45From the second rope.
00:34:46Oh, no.
00:34:47Rusev.
00:34:50Sheamus might have taken a little out of himself in the process.
00:34:52A bit of a rough landing for the Celtic warrior who landed awkwardly on his hip while delivering white noise from the middle rope.
00:35:10But Rusev is in pain.
00:35:11Corey, I'm still trying to find out, figure out the psyche of these two.
00:35:15Like, why do you want to go into the ring each and every night and beat the hell out of each other like this?
00:35:19Well, listen, you've known Sheamus longer than I have, and one thing is absolutely certain about the Celtic warrior.
00:35:24He lives for the fight.
00:35:26It makes Sheamus feel alive.
00:35:28Sheamus believes it's his purpose on this planet to fight, to be a gladiator, to be a juggernaut.
00:35:35Rusev probably believes the same thing as well.
00:35:40Sheamus blocked that, delivered a right hand right on the chin, dropping Rusev to his knees.
00:35:44Sheamus flexing a little creditor action at the expense of Rusev.
00:35:53Using the near five count from our official Rod Zapata.
00:35:59Sheamus with a runny knee.
00:36:01Right under the chin of Rusev, the Celtic warrior now making a climb to the top turnbuckle.
00:36:05Sheamus off the top rope, and down goes Rusev.
00:36:09Sheamus to the cover now, hooks the leg.
00:36:11Is it enough?
00:36:12Rusev kicks out.
00:36:14It's amazing how evenly matched these two men are as well.
00:36:18Both superstars possess knockout power in their hands, in their feet.
00:36:23Unbelievable athleticism on display by Rusev.
00:36:26Again, Rusev will go to the cover this time, and an air fall on Sheamus.
00:36:29Yeah, for two men that weigh around 270 pounds, Corey, they are so agile.
00:36:39Late athletic ability.
00:36:40For a long time, Rusev referred to himself as the super athlete.
00:36:45And it looks to be more true now than ever before.
00:36:48There's rake in the back of Sheamus.
00:36:50That is just flat-out brutal.
00:36:54Now driving his shoulder into the midsection of Sheamus.
00:36:58Every single blow from these two men is just malice-filled.
00:37:02No doubt about it.
00:37:03It's like swinging cinder blocks at the ends of their arms.
00:37:07Knockout power possessed by both superstars.
00:37:09Incredible chins on one another to be able to last as long.
00:37:12And what stands out most to me about Sheamus and Rusev in particular are the gas tanks on these men.
00:37:17For floating around 270, 280 pounds apiece, these guys can go.
00:37:22Stamina is absolutely incredible as Rusev now looks to wear Sheamus down.
00:37:26Chin lock is in.
00:37:28This is a smart strategy by Rusev.
00:37:30Allows him to recollect his thoughts while simultaneously inflicting punishment on Sheamus.
00:37:36His massive arms wrapped around the chin of the Celtic Warrior.
00:37:39Sheamus trying to fight out of this, but Rusev with his entire frame in control of Sheamus here.
00:37:47Sheamus has got to do something to fight back into this match.
00:37:55And we are back at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
00:38:03Monday Night Raw on Netflix Live tonight.
00:38:05This has been a physical battle as we expected.
00:38:08Rusev and Sheamus, recent matchups tied at a win apiece.
00:38:12And Sheamus, well, a smile on his face as he continues to absorb this punishment.
00:38:16I was going to make sure you saw the same thing I did, Cole.
00:38:19Sheamus is asking for more.
00:38:21And Rusev saying, what is wrong with this guy?
00:38:24Kick right to the chest.
00:38:26And another one.
00:38:28And Sheamus is feeding off the pain.
00:38:31Come on!
00:38:33Come on!
00:38:33Get me back!
00:38:35Get me!
00:38:37Get me!
00:38:39Got caught!
00:38:41And Sheamus with a body shot!
00:38:43And here comes the Celtic Warrior!
00:38:45Yeah!
00:38:46Oh!
00:38:47And an Irish curse backbreaker!
00:38:48And once again, a smile washing over the face of Sheamus, who is in his element right now.
00:38:58There is nowhere the Celtic Warrior would rather be than in this moment, engaged in combat with
00:39:04someone as dangerous as Rusev.
00:39:05Yes, bulldozes through Rusev.
00:39:08And now Sheamus has Rusev where he wants him.
00:39:14Uh-oh!
00:39:14Went for the 10-beats of the battle and Rusev hung Sheamus up on the top rope.
00:39:21Rusev's an intelligent competitor, obviously learning from past experience against Sheamus!
00:39:25Oh!
00:39:26And he ducks underneath the brogue kick by Sheamus!
00:39:28Sheamus tried to catch himself, but to no avail.
00:39:31Still beat Rusev to the punch.
00:39:34Will he get what he wants this time around?
00:39:37Powering.
00:39:38Rusev.
00:39:38Rusev trying to power out.
00:39:40Sheamus trying to hook the arms in the ropes.
00:39:42Rusev won't allow it to happen.
00:39:44And now!
00:39:44Spine first off the post goes Sheamus.
00:39:50Sheamus is hurt.
00:39:53Right here beside our commentary table, the Celtic Warrior slowly making his way back to his feet,
00:39:59but Rusev now stalking Sheamus.
00:40:02Well, look out, Graves.
00:40:03Look out, Graves.
00:40:05Sheamus now dropping Rusev right on our table.
00:40:15And into the ring now to break the count.
00:40:17Our official understanding how personal this rivalry has become.
00:40:24Exercise a little leeway, but Sheamus sent into the steel ring stairs.
00:40:29Yeah, Sheamus, shoulder first into the stairs here at ringside.
00:40:34The official now at a count of four.
00:40:43Rusev just dumped out of the WWE universe, but now the Bulgarian brute from behind.
00:40:48And now Rusev delivering his own version of the 10 beats of the bowler into Sheamus.
00:41:00A little insult with injury from Rusev.
00:41:03Well, we both of these men are going to be counted out, I believe, as Sheamus continues to pound away on Rusev.
00:41:21Be careful, Ron.
00:41:27Sheamus turned around in a fury and realized it was Ron Zapata, a referee, who had no choice but to throw this one out.
00:41:34Now we've got officials and agents coming down here.
00:41:36It is chaos out here, Cole.
00:41:38Trying to separate these men.
00:41:40Sheamus is throwing people all over the place.
00:41:43And now Rusev off the face of Sheamus.
00:41:54Chaos at ringside.
00:41:56Oh, no.
00:41:57Rusev has the shillelagh once again.
00:41:59Imagine the damage he can do with a shillelagh.
00:42:04Shavis drops Rusev and outmounts Rusev.
00:42:08And the fight continues.
00:42:10Let him fight.
00:42:12I don't think we're going to have any choice.
00:42:19He's an absolute melee at ringside.
00:42:22Look at Rusev's eyes, Cole.
00:42:24He looks crazed.
00:42:26Rabid.
00:42:29Sheamus.
00:42:33Uh-oh.
00:42:33Rusev breaks free again.
00:42:35Jonas Rusev.
00:42:36And the fight continues.
00:42:37Get in between these two at your own peril, guys.
00:42:40You're going to need a whole NYPD precinct down here.
00:42:46These two have lost it.
00:42:48Hey, Sophie, Woods, Big G vs. Sheamus, where were you guys last week, huh?
00:43:08I know exactly where you were.
00:43:10You're backstage watching, letting me learn the lesson on my own, and that's what real veterans do.
00:43:14That's what family does.
00:43:15I appreciate you guys.
00:43:16Look, we know that you're on cloud nine right now, and you should be happy because you dropped theory.
00:43:21But us, we're still mourning, man.
00:43:24I'm sorry.
00:43:24I know we look like the epitome of perfect chocolate decadence, but in our hearts, our souls, our minds, we're still hurting.
00:43:33And we're just not in the state of mind to fight anybody.
00:43:35Especially not Sheamus.
00:43:36Especially not Sheamus.
00:43:37Not Sheamus.
00:43:38And we're just not going to be in the right state of mind until we get back our tag team championships.
00:43:44And it's all his fault.
00:43:46That bald-headed tyrant refuses to give us what we deserve.
00:43:50Piercy?
00:43:51Hey, I've got this.
00:43:53Go ahead.
00:43:53Go.
00:43:54Hey, Pierce.
00:43:55Yeah.
00:43:55We need to talk now.
00:43:59Did Sheamus scramble your brain?
00:44:00I'm talking to Penta.
00:44:01I'll be with you in a minute.
00:44:02I don't care who you're talking to.
00:44:03Baldi, I'm representing the New Day, the greatest tag team of all time.
00:44:07Combined, we have 14-time tag team champions.
00:44:09So show some respect to the grieving process and give us our tag team title rematch.
00:44:13You're still worrying about this little lucha loser.
00:44:15Hey, whoa, no, it's got a problem.
00:44:16Listen, Waller, do me a favor.
00:44:19Do tell New Day that Baldi said they can have a match when they earn it.
00:44:23As a matter of fact, Penta and I were talking about a match.
00:44:26And I think you just officially earned it.
00:44:29Tonight.
00:44:31It's all right.
00:44:31It's all right.
00:44:33It's all right.
00:44:34It's all right.
00:44:34No, I'm just saying.
00:44:35Hey, listen.
00:44:39Settle.
00:44:42Okay, no stress.
00:44:46See you there.
00:44:48He was saying he maybe next week.
00:44:51I don't know.
00:44:51Did he give a date?
00:44:52No, he didn't give a date.
00:44:53He's bald.
00:44:53He doesn't understand dates.
00:44:54No, it's true.
00:44:56I like this version of Adam Pearce, our general manager.
00:45:00That was earlier today.
00:45:01The matchup is now.
00:45:04The matchup is now.
00:45:34At 87 kilos, Penta.
00:45:39So, once again, Grayson Waller stuck his chewy in his mouth.
00:45:45I think you're referring to Big G.
00:45:48Oh, sorry.
00:45:49Big G.
00:45:52It's a very difficult time for all of the New Day.
00:45:55He's not a part of the New Day, I don't believe.
00:45:57At least not yet.
00:45:58Waller, Penta, live, Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:46:03So, Penta's set for one-on-one action here tonight against Grayson Waller.
00:46:22And listen to this place.
00:46:29The reaction for Penta.
00:46:34And with very good reason, always a thrilling experience watching Penta do what he does.
00:46:43You know, Cora, you've become the voice of Triple A.
00:46:46I don't want to allow you to do this.
00:46:48Oh, good.
00:46:49Credit to myself.
00:46:50Triple Mania.
00:46:52Triple A's biggest show of the year.
00:46:54Emanating live from Arena CDMX in Mexico City.
00:46:58Will be live Saturday, August 16th, 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. in the West.
00:47:03And will be broadcast live in both English and Spanish on our WWE YouTube channel.
00:47:09Do not miss Triple Mania in less than two weeks.
00:47:13Hey, Dirty Dom's going to be involved, right?
00:47:15That's right.
00:47:16The king of the Luchadores has an opportunity to become Triple A Mega Champion in a Fatal 4-Way.
00:47:22We'll talk about that a little bit later as Dirty Dom competes one-on-one against Dragon Lee,
00:47:27another superstar who has earned entry into that matchup.
00:47:31But right now, it's about Lucha Extrema as Penta is set for action.
00:47:39Such a joy to watch, Penta.
00:47:44Explosiveness.
00:47:49WWE fans have really taken a Penta as he struggles to get his gear off.
00:47:54Happen to the best of us, Cole.
00:47:56Maybe he fears his gear.
00:47:58The one thing in life.
00:48:00Be careful.
00:48:01I wouldn't let Penta hear you saying that.
00:48:03I love Penta.
00:48:09How do you make one of the coolest superstars on the roster even cooler?
00:48:13You let him make his entrance to the tasty sounds of Adam Jones, legendary guitar player from Tools.
00:48:20Speaking of the tools.
00:48:27One night only, folks.
00:48:28I've spent all weekend at my daughter's softball tournament.
00:48:31Makes sense.
00:48:32I'm lobbing them to you tonight.
00:48:33And his opponent, from Sydney, Australia, weighting at 204 pounds, Grayson Waller.
00:48:46So I can't wait to hear you break down this burgeoning relationship between Grayson Waller,
00:48:53Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods.
00:48:56I think it's really a matter of shared grievance.
00:48:59A lot of emotional turmoil on all parts.
00:49:02We'll talk about this more in a minute.
00:49:11Two champions, one night.
00:49:12Boxing's biggest names collide on Saturday, September 13th, with Canelo Alvarez.
00:49:17Faces Terrence Bud Crawford in an epic showdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

00:49:33Well, here on Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix, we celebrate this past weekend's SummerSlam.
00:49:52And this is the Monday Night Raw after SummerSlam Live.
00:50:16Barclays Center, jam-packed here tonight, Brooklyn, New York.
00:50:19Penta and Grayson Waller.
00:50:21This matchup made by our general manager, Adam Pearce, earlier today, after Grayson Waller
00:50:25not only disrespected the GM, but also Penta.
00:50:28Big G's man enough to stand on his own and back him up.
00:50:33Okay, explain to everyone why he's being called Big G.
00:50:36I mean, have you seen Grayson Waller?
00:50:38He's in the greatest physical condition of his career.
00:50:40He's been running around with New Day, who used to have a big...
00:50:43What was the big...
00:50:44Big E.
00:50:45Oh.
00:50:46More than this weekend.
00:50:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:50:48But yeah, so there's obviously a void.
00:50:50The New Day are going through an incredibly tough time, a long period of grieving.
00:50:54They're mourning the death of the tag team division, the loss of their tag team championships.
00:50:59There's a lot on the minds of both Kingston and Woods, and Big G has just been here to
00:51:03be a shoulder to cry on, if you will.
00:51:05Well, Xavier said that the group is still in mourning, that they are in no state of mind
00:51:09to fight, so they asked Grayson Waller to go over to Adam Pearce and perhaps get them
00:51:14a future tag title opportunity.
00:51:15I think, unfortunately, Big G wasn't prepared for operations as smooth as delivered by Penta.
00:51:23And Penta now with a lot of sense.
00:51:25Grayson Waller outside the ring.
00:51:28I think Big G's just doing his best to be a good friend to Woods.
00:51:33Look at this!
00:51:38Big smile on Waller's face.
00:51:40Thank God for the New Day.
00:51:45How does your heart not hurt a little bit for these guys, Cole?
00:51:54Have you no empathy?
00:51:55I do, but at some point, the grieving period has to end, right?
00:51:59You've got to get over yourself and you've got to move on.
00:52:01Who are you to tell anybody when the grieving process is complete?
00:52:05What the heck is Woods wearing?
00:52:07He's incredibly sad.
00:52:09Is that a hat?
00:52:10Yes, it's a hat.
00:52:12And Waller now caught by Penta out there celebrating with the New Day and forgot he had a matchup here
00:52:17against this top luchador Penta.
00:52:19Big kick in the corner, Rock.
00:52:23Kofi's, for some reason, angry at me.
00:52:26I don't know quite a bit.
00:52:27He's not angry, Cole.
00:52:28He's hurt.
00:52:29Uh-oh.
00:52:29He's hurt.
00:52:29Look out now.
00:52:30Penta sent right into our announce table.
00:52:34Almost had to mourn the loss of us.
00:52:36Here comes Big G again.
00:52:39On court, the clothesline, and down goes Penta.
00:52:42You know what, Cole, I think I'm going to see if the New Day want a little help grieving.
00:52:53Please.
00:52:54So you're inviting Kofi and Xavier Woods to join us on commentary.
00:52:58I'm extending an olive branch, yes.
00:53:00I think it would be an honor to have perhaps the greatest tag team of all time join us at commentary
00:53:04to offer their opinion on the goings-on.
00:53:08Well, they're very opinionated.
00:53:09We'll give you that.
00:53:11Welcome, Kofi.
00:53:12Welcome, Mr. Woods.
00:53:14You thought you could just go ahead and talk trash without us coming out here to call you on it, right?
00:53:17I actually wasn't talking trash.
00:53:19I was just questioning what Xavier was wearing on his head.
00:53:22Questioning why.
00:53:23You've never looked this good a day in your life, Michael Cole.
00:53:25You're going to question me.
00:53:26Nor has he ever been as sad as the two of you.
00:53:28And I would like to take this moment to offer my thoughts and prayers and condolences.
00:53:32Thank you so much for that, Corey.
00:53:33Thank you, Corey.
00:53:34Thank you so much.
00:53:34Corey, let me get a hand.
00:53:35What about you, Michael?
00:53:36What about you, Michael?
00:53:37I want to know why you're wearing driver gloves.
00:53:39Bro, we are the drivers of the tag team division.
00:53:42Inside cradle by Penta.
00:53:43And a kick out.
00:53:44I would like to commend you on offering moral support to Grayson Waller.
00:53:49Of course.
00:53:50Of course.
00:53:50If you were by yourself in the WWE locker room, you would love to have two incredible veterans like ourselves making sure that you're doing right.
00:53:57It is our job to take care of these young guys out here.
00:54:00It's our job to be there for them when they're looking for guidance.
00:54:03So are you saying that Grayson Waller is actually a part of the New Day now?
00:54:06Nobody said that.
00:54:07Look, you got a problem with trying to put a label on whatever this is, man.
00:54:11It's us taking him under our wing as the veterans are supposed to do.
00:54:14That's right.
00:54:15Michael Cole, you're like Twitter.
00:54:16I could say I like tomatoes and everyone would say, what, hamburgers are disgusting?
00:54:19Well, he's running around calling himself Big G.
00:54:22I mean.
00:54:22No?
00:54:23Look at him.
00:54:23The man is in phenomenal shape.
00:54:24Well, there used to be a Big E in your group.
00:54:26And?
00:54:27Where you dumped him, so.
00:54:28Yeah, we did.
00:54:29He didn't want to come to work.
00:54:30So what?
00:54:31If you stopped coming to your job, you'd get fired too.
00:54:33That's why I've come to work every day for 28 years.
00:54:36Well, talk to your friend.
00:54:37Tell him to come to work.
00:54:38Maybe he would still be here.
00:54:39Wow.
00:54:39Wow, Michael.
00:54:42That was great commentary.
00:54:43I would like to.
00:54:44I would like to.
00:54:44Hey, it's incredible over here.
00:54:45I'd like to focus on the positives if we could.
00:54:47Thank you so much.
00:54:48The power of positivity is still real.
00:54:49You know, I've always been a long time New Day guy.
00:54:51I've always supported you in all of your endeavors.
00:54:53And I think that once you get through this very trying period in your lives, it's only
00:54:58a matter of time before you find the top of the mountain once again.
00:55:01Thank you so much.
00:55:01And I look forward to that.
00:55:02Thank you so much.
00:55:03So I want to know actually how long this grieving process goes on.
00:55:06Well, there's no, you can't really put a date on it.
00:55:08And you can't put a time stamp on grieving.
00:55:10It's been like.
00:55:11How would you try to do.
00:55:12Cover.
00:55:13Oh, there almost beat Penta there.
00:55:15Have you ever suffered?
00:55:16Have you, you looked into the bereavement policy here in WWE?
00:55:20Well, clearly they refused to give us time off for the bereavement.
00:55:22But even if they did, we work hard enough every single day that we're going to come.
00:55:27Wait a minute.
00:55:27Even though you guys actually have the audacity to ask for time off because you lost your
00:55:31tag team championship.
00:55:32Yeah, because that's how much they mean to us.
00:55:34Exactly, Michael.
00:55:34They mean a lot to us.
00:55:35The absolute death of the tag team division, because we're not at the top, is painful to
00:55:39us.
00:55:40It hurts to watch as well.
00:55:42It hurts to watch.
00:55:43It hurts.
00:55:43Imagine how we feel.
00:55:44It's real pain.
00:55:45Well, the grieving process continues at ringside for the new day as they watch Grayson Waller
00:55:55take on Penta here tonight, one-on-one.
00:55:58Kiss my hand, Michael, as a sign of respect.
00:56:00Why would I kiss your hand?
00:56:02Kiss my hand as a sign of respect.
00:56:03Can I do it on his behalf?
00:56:05Thank you so much, Cole.
00:56:06You see that?
00:56:07Your turn, Michael.
00:56:08Cole, come on.
00:56:08He's right here.
00:56:09I'm calling the action, guys.
00:56:10Look at Penta now!
00:56:12With a backbreaker knee right to the spine.
00:56:14Unempathetic.
00:56:15It's part of your job, Michael, to understand the talent, and you refuse to understand
00:56:18us.
00:56:19You have no heart.
00:56:20You have a cold heart.
00:56:21Michael Cold.
00:56:22Michael Cold.
00:56:23Michael Cold, no heart.
00:56:24I had tremendous emotion.
00:56:25Don't sociopath.
00:56:26I had tremendous emotion.
00:56:27Like the tin man in Dorothy in the window.
00:56:29Cover here by Penta.
00:56:30And a kick out by Waller.
00:56:32I had great emotion, guys, when I called your loss in the tag team title match.
00:56:35You see what I'm talking about?
00:56:36You would...
00:56:36We are suffering.
00:56:38We are grieving.
00:56:38I would like to apologize personally on behalf of Michael Cole, our entire commentary team.
00:56:43Thank you so much for the apology.
00:56:44You do not deserve this.
00:56:45But he's the one who is sorry.
00:56:47About the sorriest man out here, man.
00:56:48With no empathy, no sympathy.
00:56:50Oh!
00:56:51What a right hand by Waller.
00:56:53The kid has got talent, man.
00:56:55I'm telling you.
00:56:55Maybe if he was in your group, you'd win the tag titles back.
00:56:58Sit out.
00:56:58Power bomb.
00:56:59Shoulders down now.
00:57:00Penta's got to kick out.
00:57:01Michael Cole, to be someone who doesn't wrestle regularly, you have a lot of opinions on what
00:57:06we should do to be successful in the ring.
00:57:08No, I'm crazy.
00:57:09Listen.
00:57:09Hear me out.
00:57:10Hear me out.
00:57:10Listening.
00:57:11You guys were at the most successful point in your career when you had three men in the
00:57:14new day.
00:57:15That's all.
00:57:15Maybe you should bring Grayson Waller in, make it three men again, and you'll be successful
00:57:18again.
00:57:19Power with the most successful point when we weren't 13-time champions at that point,
00:57:22Michael.
00:57:22Tell me that.
00:57:23You see, Michael.
00:57:24You won once.
00:57:25You won once without Big E.
00:57:26And here we go.
00:57:27Waller now down.
00:57:28Shoulders.
00:57:28Shoulders kick out.
00:57:29Our only win at WrestleMania was Sons Big E, and you think that that's not impressive?
00:57:34How long have you been watching wrestling, Michael, with your arms crossed, not even excited
00:57:37about this current?
00:57:38Oh!
00:57:39What a kick by Penta.
00:57:40I'm excited about Penta.
00:57:42Tell you that.
00:57:42Maybe it's time to start getting excited about Big G.
00:57:45Oh!
00:57:45Come on, Grayson.
00:57:46The kid has got talent.
00:57:46The man is in phenomenal shape.
00:57:48Oh!
00:57:48What an A!
00:57:49By Waller.
00:57:50Dead weight.
00:57:50Oh!
00:57:51And now his career is going to the top.
00:57:54He's down 230-something pounds.
00:57:56I mean, that's got to feel good.
00:57:57Left Austin Theory in the dust.
00:57:59Look at this guy.
00:57:59Former tag team champion.
00:58:01What is he?
00:58:01Golden Gloves in Australia?
00:58:02Yeah.
00:58:03The Iron Survivor.
00:58:04He won the Iron Survivor match in NXT.
00:58:06And he was on Survivor.
00:58:08You see?
00:58:09So it shouldn't be a surprise that he survived the dead weight that was Austin Theory.
00:58:13You know?
00:58:13Look at him.
00:58:14Have you offered him a job yet?
00:58:16He's got a job.
00:58:16He's got a job right here.
00:58:17Look at him.
00:58:18Doing it right now.
00:58:18His job is putting his foot in the spine.
00:58:20Athlete!
00:58:21Oh!
00:58:21Oh, no!
00:58:23Oh, my goodness!
00:58:28Unbelievable!
00:58:30Put the cover for the win!
00:58:32Oh!
00:58:32How incredible was that?
00:58:35All right.
00:58:36All right.
00:58:36That was nasty.
00:58:36So did Waller pass the test?
00:58:42There was no test.
00:58:43Waller's out here doing his job.
00:58:44Out here trying to climb the ranks, as he should be.
00:58:47Well, again, thanks to The New Day for joining us here tonight, taking time out of their bereavement process.
00:58:54As Grayson Waller delivers a great knee to Penta.
00:58:57Both men were down.
00:58:58Critical point of the matchup here.
00:59:00Watch this kick by Penta.
00:59:01Bang!
00:59:02Right in the face of Corey.
00:59:03This is incredible.
00:59:04Closing moments.
00:59:06A breathtaking Mexican Destroyer delivered by Penta.
00:59:10Spiking Big G on top of his skull.
00:59:13And a big win for Penta.
00:59:15Penta's so impressive here tonight on Monday Night Raw as he continues to soar in WWE.
00:59:22Penta is taking advantage of a morning New Day.
00:59:52Sending Kingston and Woods to the outside.
00:59:58Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:00:03Who's much better on Penta?
01:00:09Oh, no.
01:00:13Penta flies.
01:00:15What a win.
01:00:23What a night for Penta.
01:00:29Well, they got something else to mourn about.
01:00:31Booty.
01:00:32Let's look at the more time.
01:00:39Can I see it?
01:00:40Can I see it?
01:00:41I see it.
01:00:42Have you seen it here?
01:00:42Can I see it?
01:00:43You see it?
01:00:44The fight continuing for Sheamus and Rusev.
01:00:59Hey, you just saw Charlotte Flair moments ago.
01:01:01Well, there she is.
01:01:02In fact, Charlotte is featured in one of the episodes of the new documentary series, WWE
01:01:07Unreal on Netflix.
01:01:10Here's a sneak peek.
01:01:14I missed this.
01:01:17There's nothing like this that you do in your everyday life when you walk out into a stadium
01:01:21and know that there's going to be 65,000 people cheering.
01:01:26I missed the anticipation.
01:01:29I missed the adrenaline.
01:01:30I missed, you know, seeing the crew set up and what it all takes for this to come alive
01:01:36when it's showtime.
01:01:38Let's damn do this.
01:01:39Let's do this.
01:01:41Knowing that it could be taken away like it was.
01:01:43You always want to leave everything you have out there.
01:01:49When I walk through that curtain tonight, I feel the pressure of having to reintroduce
01:01:53myself.
01:01:55I'm Charlotte Flair.
01:01:56I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:01:57I'm going to remind them tonight when 65,000 people are wooing when I come out.
01:02:02I have done it all, but I want to come back and I want to do it all over again.
01:02:06I'm Ric Flair's daughter.
01:02:08Hell yeah.
01:02:08I am the top girl.
01:02:12Having that perspective, I just feel unbreakable.
01:02:15I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:16I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:17I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:18I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:19I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:20I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:21I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:22I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:23I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:24I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:25I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:26I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:27I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:28I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:29I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:30I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:31I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:32I'm the 14-time women's champion.
01:02:33Watch out, guys.
01:02:42I'm coming back.
01:02:52This is your last morning.
01:02:56I'm coming back.
01:02:57This is your last chance.
01:03:01I'm coming back.
01:03:03I'm coming back.
01:03:11I'm coming for you.
01:03:15All right, all right, all right.
01:03:30Brooklyn, chill.
01:03:31because we need to have an honest conversation.
01:03:38I couldn't wait to leave New Jersey
01:03:40because it was so whack.
01:03:48So I came here thinking it was going to be better,
01:03:51but I left a bad situation
01:03:52and came into a worse situation.
01:03:57It stank here.
01:04:01What do y'all got going on?
01:04:03All this trash y'all got around here.
01:04:07All this construction.
01:04:10Can't even walk outside.
01:04:12There's cranes hanging all over the top of your head.
01:04:16Now I know why all y'all be trying to move to my state.
01:04:19Why all y'all want to come to Florida?
01:04:20Nah, don't come to Florida.
01:04:23Don't come to Florida raising our rent.
01:04:26Stay up here.
01:04:28Stay up here.
01:04:29The trash need to stay where the trash at.
01:04:31And since we're being honest,
01:04:41having a good, honest conversation,
01:04:44let's talk about me walking out of SummerSlam
01:04:47still as your women's world champion.
01:04:52You know what?
01:05:07I told y'all I was going to keep this raw division on notice.
01:05:11And I'm going to clock all of y'all favorites T every single time.
01:05:16Next on my list is that Stephanie.
01:05:19That Stephanie Velcro.
01:05:21Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:05:28Monday Night Raw is live on Netflix at Barclays Center in Brooklyn tonight.
01:05:3324 hours removed from the return that shocked the WWE.
01:05:43Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy this while you can.
01:05:47We have four months left to enjoy the greatness that is John Cena.
01:05:53It's the beast!
01:06:00It's the beast!
01:06:05It's the beast!
01:06:06It's the beast!
01:06:10I'm gonna might be here!
01:06:11It's the beast!
01:06:11Brock Lesnar at the SummerSlam!
01:06:21And now Lesnar into the ring, and Brock Lesnar with John Cena on his shoulders!
01:06:26Brock Lesnar with an F5 to John Cena!
01:06:33The Beast is back!
01:06:41Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are still buzzing over the return and one of the most shocking conclusions in SummerSlam history, the return of Brock Lesnar.
01:07:01Earlier today, I had the opportunity to sit down with WWE President Nick Khan and WWE's Chief Content Officer, Paul Triple H Levesque, and I asked him a simple question.
01:07:12When was it determined that Brock Lesnar would return to WWE?
01:07:16They told me they reached out to Brock a number of weeks ago and said, we believe it's time for you to come home.
01:07:23Brock Lesnar said, let's do it, and here we are.
01:07:26Now, John Cena may have different thoughts on what transpired last night.
01:07:31We're going to find out exactly what John Cena thought about all of this.
01:07:35Friday night on SmackDown, John Cena will be live from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
01:07:41To discuss the situation that went down at SummerSlam.
01:07:46I can't wait to hear what Cena has to say, but that's Friday.
01:07:49Let's talk about tonight first.
01:07:51Just 48 hours ago, the vision became a reality.
01:07:55But tonight, it's already under fire as Adam Pearce has forced Seth Freakin' Rollins to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against L.A. Knight.
01:08:08And Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed have been barred from ringside.
01:08:13It's going to be a short title reign for Mr. Rollins.
01:08:45Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:09:15Here it is, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Blitz.
01:09:22Corey, honestly, did you expect this team to ever work?
01:09:26I didn't give it a chance in hell, if I'm being totally honest.
01:09:29Look, we are dealing with two of the best individual competitors the women's division have ever known.
01:09:35But that and being a successful tag team, two entirely different scenarios.
01:09:39I had all of the doubts, but I was proven wrong this past Saturday.
01:09:44And especially for weeks and weeks, they kept telling each other we're not friends.
01:09:48And now they find themselves as tag team champions.
01:09:51But are they friends?
01:09:53I don't think being friends at the end of the day really matters.
01:09:55I think, if anything, it just shortens the shelf life of tag team success.
01:09:59But we've seen some very effective teams over the years who weren't necessarily fans of one another,
01:10:04but they figured out the chemistry.
01:10:06They were on the same page.
01:10:07And they reached the top of the mountain, as these two just did.
01:10:10And it's about holding the gold and making the money.
01:10:14And that's Hexen championships, as Booker likes to say.
01:10:16And that's it.
01:10:45That might be my first You Deserve It chant.
01:10:54Thank you, Brooklyn.
01:10:56No, no, but after SummerSlam, it feels amazing to be champion again.
01:11:07No, it feels amazing to be champion.
01:11:10I think you mean we are champions again.
01:11:15Okay, okay, okay.
01:11:20It does feel nice to do something as we as a change instead of just me.
01:11:26And if you stop hitting me in the head, maybe we could be, you know, we could be whatever.
01:11:34Like, whatever.
01:11:36Like, let's not put a label on it.
01:11:38What were you going to say?
01:11:45You can say it.
01:11:49I wasn't going to say anything.
01:11:51I think you were going to say the F word.
01:11:55You are such a pain in my A word.
01:11:58That's right, I am.
01:12:01As long as we have these titles, you are stuck with me.
01:12:05And you know what?
01:12:05I think we're going to have these forever because I'm the now 14-time plus the two-time tag plus the two-time NXT.
01:12:13How many times have you been champion?
01:12:18Are you serious right now?
01:12:19No, yeah, it's like flair math.
01:12:20How many times have you been champion?
01:12:22So I've held the Raw, SmackDown.
01:12:26Actually, no, it doesn't matter because no one does matter.
01:12:30Time to pause the celebration.
01:12:40The former champs are in the house.
01:12:52Come on, please.
01:12:56Who would want to be friends with Charlotte, Alexa?
01:12:59I know I wouldn't.
01:13:00Roxanne?
01:13:01Nope, nope, nope.
01:13:03And nobody cares that you guys want to be friends.
01:13:05I don't care.
01:13:06They don't care.
01:13:08Raquel doesn't care.
01:13:09Because the only thing that actually matters is bringing all the gold back to the Judgment Day.
01:13:15I understand that we're not, you know, maybe not going to get a rematch.
01:13:26But Roxanne and I didn't come out here to not take those titles back tonight.
01:13:32Well, that was quick.
01:13:37Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
01:13:40Oh, yeah.
01:13:41I mean, if we agree on one thing, it's that we never back down from a challenge.
01:13:46Oh.
01:13:48Challenge, Lexi.
01:13:49Because that's why we're going to put the tag titles on the line tonight.
01:13:53And kick your A-words right here.
01:14:00Right now.
01:14:01In Brooklyn.
01:14:02These ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies.
01:14:10Just take a breath.
01:14:13What?
01:14:13Listen, I get it.
01:14:16It's the Raw after SummerSlam.
01:14:18And I get it.
01:14:19We are in Brooklyn, New York.
01:14:22But as I explained earlier, normally a title match, especially a title rematch, takes some time to put together.
01:14:31I guess what I'm saying is, what the hell, tonight's not normal.
01:14:38The match is official.
01:14:39And it starts right now.
01:14:43Waves, what has got into Pierce tonight?
01:14:45I'm guessing he started his day with the Irish coffee.
01:14:48I love it, though.
01:14:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:15:16And it's for the Women's Tag Team Championship.
01:15:24Introducing first, the challengers, representing the Judgment Day, the team of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
01:15:45And their opponents, they are the Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:16:01And the team of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Blair.
