00:00:03Well good, at least Stephanie's gonna get a chance.
00:00:07The man of Soul Red!
00:00:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Women's Intercontinental Champion, the man, Becky Lynch!
00:00:52Well, Corey, I don't know why I'm surprised that the homecoming on Friday night on SmackDown in Dublin went as bad as it did when it comes to the Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch.
00:01:06I'm shocked that anything bad happens to the man at this day and age.
00:01:10She's a star beyond the pale right now.
00:01:14All over the world, people cannot wait.
00:01:16They clamor for the Intercontinental Champion.
00:01:19The night is no different. It was an unfortunate circumstance in Dublin, but why do you have to bring all that stuff up?
00:01:24Because she treated the fans with disrespect like she always does.
00:01:27She disrespects the fans, she disrespects the locker room, and she deserves what she gets, the treatment by the crowd in Dublin Friday night.
00:01:34They were the one-centric.
00:01:37They from the拍拭 at the time.
00:01:38The fuck's up, no-one can tell...
00:01:40For the lights have no way to...
00:01:42They're not going down.
00:01:43Like they're not going down.
00:01:45They're not going down.
00:01:46They're not going down.
00:01:47They're not going down.
00:01:48They're not going down.
00:01:49It's not going down.
00:01:50They're not going down.
00:01:51They're not going down.
00:02:22There's a mixed response out there, but...
00:02:27Nothing mixed about that.
00:02:29Okay, okay, you can boo me, but I just want you to know that this place was a big part of my journey.
00:02:39It was 13 years ago that I first had my tryout, my WWE tryout, here in Birmingham.
00:02:47And it was a dump then, and it's a dump now.
00:02:55What do you expect?
00:03:00Speaking of dumps, Nikki Bella thinks she can call me out to my ring.
00:03:07Call me out, and I'm just going to come.
00:03:09I'm not some loser.
00:03:11I'm not Aston Villa or Birmingham City.
00:03:19I'm not some dog that's just going to respond to a whistle.
00:03:23And, okay, here I come.
00:03:25Who do you think I...
00:03:27Remember, Nikki said she was going to call out Becky tonight.
00:03:33Becky beat the Hall of Famer to the punch, but Nikki's here.
00:03:41Hey, Becky, if you're not a dog, then why are you acting like a little bitch?
00:03:46Excuse me, what did you just say to me?
00:03:56If you're not one, Becky, then there should be no problem facing me for that title.
00:04:01No, negative Nikki, you don't call the shots anymore.
00:04:09No, I call the shots.
00:04:11And I'm not going to just give away title opportunities willy-nilly,
00:04:15especially not to broke-neck Barbie over here.
00:04:20First of all, this broken-neck Barbie kicked your ass last week.
00:04:24Don't know if you remember that.
00:04:26yeah that's right and she paved a way for you so when you keep reminding us of the history
00:04:33that you've written because of me you have a page to write history on
00:04:38okay okay yes yes yes yes yes yes you blazed a trail you and your twin the better twin if you
00:04:51asked me yep you you you transcended the business you brought in a whole new audience the thing is
00:04:59i know all this i just don't care because i never wanted to respect you i wanted to replace you
00:05:08and i've done a pretty good job
00:05:11you wanted to replace me because you're scared to face me
00:05:19and from what i remember and i think we all do you used to be that scared girl in the corner of
00:05:26charlotte flair's little sidekick

00:06:28am i right birmingham

00:12:51rhea ripley has such a presence doesn't she i agree wholeheartedly and look at the smile on mommy's
00:13:04face tonight ripley definitely cool calm and collected before this one and there's going to
00:13:09be a smile on a rhea ripley's face come october i had an opportunity earlier today to talk to rhea
00:13:14ripley about her return to her homeland of australia it is crown jewel perth which will be
00:13:21surrounded by friday night smackdown and monday night raw three event combo tickets for crown jewel

00:13:44absolute rock star in every sense of the word you can see the happiness ironically in the eyes
00:13:52of rhea ripley tonight as in moments she battles roxanne perez of the judgment day remember the same
00:13:59judgment day that rhea ripley was one of the founding members of yeah and then was excommunicated from
00:14:04along with her buddy damian priest who we saw return this past friday night on smackdown to take out
00:14:10all right
00:14:28so
00:14:33roxanne perez the prodigy accompanied of course by raquel rodriguez who has a
00:14:53long storied history with miss ripley i'm certain raquel had a few valuable tidbits of advice to
00:15:00offer the prodigy but let's be perfectly honest roxanne perez is on top of the game right now
00:15:06this woman impresses each and every night out and if roxanne needs a confidence boost it's that she
00:15:12has done something rhea ripley has never been able to do yeah that was knockoff eo sky which she did
00:15:17a couple of weeks ago here on monday night raw roxanne perez has had one of the great rookie
00:15:23years in the history of wwe this year that of course started with her setting a record in the
00:15:28women's royal rumble and can you imagine if she knocks off rhea ripley here tonight on monday
00:15:35night raw another feather in the cap of the rising star known as roxanne perez
00:15:41who said me old buddy welcome back to the wwe you know their words i never thought i'd say
00:15:55and fella when i heard you were coming back i cringed the big superstar return no one wanted
00:16:03and no one asked for especially me why because you lost your love for the game
00:16:09passionless and no one was buying you speaking from a darkened room going around bullying smaller
00:16:15guys and stopping around craving attention cringe over the last couple of weeks something changed
00:16:24our trilogy of matches and brutal out of the ring exchanges has woken the fire i remember thanks to me
00:16:32the world remembers who the real rusa is and now just days away from a potential show stealer
00:16:39at clash of paris with a good old-fashioned donnybrook match through this you've won back my respect
00:16:47but don't forget i was the one who had to drag it out of you so this sunday i want you to bring your
00:16:53a game i want you to bring your hate i want you to bring your aggression i want you to try and
00:16:58rip me bleeding head off i want the old rusa back because don't forget i made you relevant again

00:17:25as the celtic warrior sheamus goes one-on-one one more time with the bulgarian brute the vicious
00:17:33rusev just what these two need no rules use anything as a weapon including that damn shillelagh
00:17:39well back here live on monday night raw on netflix sold out tonight in birmingham united kingdom
00:17:46rhea ripley roxanne perez go one-on-one third time in their career that they've gone one-on-one dates
00:17:54back to nxt roxanne perez uh has not has not beaten rhea ripley but would love to uh change that tonight
00:18:01and refresh my memory who was the one name that the prodigy has beaten recently that rhea didn't
00:18:08eo sky okay albeit with some miscommunication with the kabuki warriors involved but nonetheless a win
00:18:14roxanne perez who we mentioned moments ago cory has just had a spectacular maybe one of the great
00:18:20rookie years in the history of wwe should come to a surprise to absolutely no one this young lady
00:18:26was booker t's star pupil since she's arrived in wwe she has sat under the learning tree that is the
00:18:32judgment day think of that group finn ballard dirty dominic mysterio raquel rodriguez oh jd
00:18:39mcdonough live morgan encyclopedias of wrestling wisdom all around full time to impart theirs on the
00:18:47problem oh what a drop kick by rhea ripley i do want to draw attention to something we mentioned during
00:18:53the break the demeanor of rhea ripley tonight as she made her entry she was all smiles she didn't have
00:18:59that trademark intensity like she's about to rip someone's head off i'm curious if that's going to
00:19:03be a good thing or a bad thing for mommy tonight gonna find out as roxanne looks to regroup with
00:19:08raquel rodriguez who has a tremendous rivalry over the years with rhea ripley remember the street fight
00:19:13those two were involved in back in riyadh saudi arabia at the end of june ripley now out on the attack
00:19:19against perez oh and perez is just so feisty she's crafty she is aggressive above all her in-ring
00:19:28iq is off the charts we say this every week but the bears have been mentioned so far beyond her
00:19:36eat her years right i mean it's just incredible with what roxanne's been able to accomplish but
00:19:41she's in there against one of the best rhea ripley who just drops perez and roxanne certainly
00:19:47understands that this matchup is an opportunity uh-oh is rhea looking potentially for a riptide
00:19:51could be a short night for perez and perez able to shift the balance however and uh move out of
00:19:56harm's way and again i understand that the prodigy is looking at this matchup as a springboard
00:20:02potentially for her own career just a victory over rhea ripley could mean so much to a budding superstar
00:20:07let's go rhea chants here in birmingham now for a suicide dive roxanne press caught and there's
00:20:17the power of mommy and ripley now with roxanne on her shoulders but roxanne again and rhea averted
00:20:25disaster there and now comes face to face with raquel
00:20:28rhea with a right hand raquel another one who's had a great year here in wwe
00:20:35and rhea got distracted and roxanne made her pay with that suicide dive i have absolutely no doubt
00:20:44that sometime in the potentially not too distant future raquel and rhea will run it back two
00:20:49powerhouses in the women's division but right now roxanne perez has ripped control this one
00:20:54away from the eradicator perez can be extremely dangerous we've seen her do this on a number of
00:20:59occasions in fact in a matchup with rhea tag team match a number of months ago target a body part and
00:21:04that's what she's doing here the back of the knee take the leg out take the power away from ripley
00:21:09it's a classic strategy because it's always been effective
00:21:12target a particular body part maybe a pair of body parts and keep your opponent down and again the
00:21:19acumen of this this young wrestler perez you don't see a lot of young talent doing that these days
00:21:23taking the ability to pick apart a body part like roxanne's doing right someone consider it
00:21:27something of a lost art form oh my god and rhea made roxanne pay i don't care what kind of game
00:21:33plan you have in your mind that'll knock it out rhea now oh my god with the worst of intentions one
00:21:41armed roxanne though able to land on the apron you got to wonder if the attack on the knee came into
00:21:48play there oh it was equally as much that rhea was trying to maintain her own balance to power up
00:21:53oh and a prodigy that could be the beginning of the end
00:21:57and a big smile on the face of roxanne who is suddenly in control this match has rhea in deep
00:22:06trouble oh and that sliding forearm to the back of the neck
00:22:11now perez that springboard moonsault cover on ripley looking for a big win here and a kickout at two
00:22:23even on the kickout ripley favoring the left knee
00:22:4111 000 here tonight and vermin him it's been a vocal wwe crowd as we approach class in paris this
00:22:51coming sunday ripley perez and what's been a great matchup rhea trying to fight back on really one leg
00:22:59that is quite the tall task when you're dealing with somebody as talented as roxanne perez look at
00:23:05this looking for the reversal sunset flip shoulders down and a kick out by rhea what a counter by
00:23:11perez and you saw rhea once again grab at her leg roxanne knows exactly what she's doing she knows
00:23:18what the goal is the more she attacks the knee of rhea ripley the more it affects all of rhea's
00:23:23game plan from delivering offense to even her ability to stand upright oh god again delivering that kick
00:23:29to the ankle what you're doing in this process is neutralizing a great deal of mommy's power
00:23:35cover by perez is it enough to put rhea away and a kick out now at two
00:23:39and i know it's unlike rhea ripley to overlook any opponent but it seems like that might be the
00:23:45case thus far rhea came into this match we talked about how casual she appeared she was
00:23:49basking in the adulation of the wwe universe here in birmingham the prodigy has been locked in
00:23:55perez is executing her game plan step by step to perfection and cory as we mentioned earlier
00:23:59you know rhea's never lost a rock thing so there is that as well and perhaps a bit overconfident coming
00:24:04into this matchup but look at the aggressiveness in perez tonight and the pacing the pacing's
00:24:10incredible there's never she's never out of control you're absolutely right oh accelerate at the right
00:24:16moments make sure you are locked in on your target the prodigy should be given an a plus thus far
00:24:21here's the cover by roxanne hook of the leg and a kick out by rhea
00:24:25and if you're rhea ripley you're probably not expecting perez to target your knee particularly
00:24:32not as early in the match as she did so now rhea is attempting to re-strategize basically use
00:24:37instinct and what she knows from this position to try to find her way back into this match which is
00:24:41an unenviable position maybe roxanne can get rhea to tap out here she continues the pressure you
00:24:47mentioned earlier the influence of the judgment day on roxanne perez you have to mention as well that
00:24:52you know finn balor who is one of the greats in in our industry he's trained wrestlers around the
00:24:57world for many years you have to wonder what his influence is on roxanne perez and i don't think you
00:25:02do need to wonder maybe you can wonder the extent but i mean you can't sit around finn balor for more
00:25:06than five minutes and not learn something oh wow what a ddt that could do it mommy's out and roxanne
00:25:15may have hurt herself on that ddt as well taking a little uh a little too much time here once again
00:25:22wait for that oh rhea got the knees up and the knees to the midsection can rhea recover as roxanne
00:25:28over 11 000 strong in permanent united kingdom here tonight for monday night raw live on netflix
00:25:42rhea ripley trying to fight back against the very game roxanne perez
00:25:47perez knew this is what she had to avoid
00:25:53yeah rhea looking to rally roxanne's targeted the leg of rhea ripley throughout the matchup
00:26:00rhea now look at this oh raquel rodriguez not allowing rhea to deliver razor's edge
00:26:08Oh, Raquel, you better turn around.
00:26:13Uh-oh.
00:26:15Rhea's got Raquel, but Roxanne grabbed Rhea.
00:26:19You can't take your eye off the ball when you're dealing with the judgment day.
00:26:23And Roxanne with a hurricanrana.
00:26:26And here comes Perez.
00:26:29Oh, and a knee right to the back of the neck.
00:26:31Gives it enough to knock Ripley off.
00:26:32Cover.
00:26:33Hook of the leg.
00:26:34Kick out at two by Ripley.
00:26:36Perez just needs to stay in control.
00:26:40She needs to keep her foot on the gas pedal and not get frustrated.
00:26:43Let's take a look at the precision as Roxanne drove her knee and her shin across the back of Ripley's neck.
00:26:50You can see the confidence of Roxanne Perez growing.
00:26:57Now trash-talking Ripley.
00:27:01Careful, Roxy.
00:27:03Yeah, she might have got a bit carried away.
00:27:04Oh, and that big slap drives Rhea back.
00:27:07And now a kick again to the leg and Perez on the attack.
00:27:10That was just bait.
00:27:11Oh, and a head-butt by Ripley.
00:27:13Stunning Perez.
00:27:16And now Rhea will deliver the razor's edge.
00:27:20Oh, and what a kick.
00:27:21Cover now by Ripley.
00:27:24Roxanne stays in the match.
00:27:26Got to acknowledge the grit and the toughness of the prodigy, Roxanne Perez.
00:27:33As we look at Rhea Ripley.
00:27:36Now questioning everything.
00:27:39Raquel offering advice to Roxanne Perez as Roxanne looks to recover.
00:27:45Rhea back to her feet.
00:27:48Raquel could not do much as the official Jessica Carr was right there.
00:27:51And now Rhea.
00:27:53Oh, and down goes Raquel as Roxanne moved out of harm's way.
00:27:58That was a bonus for Ripley, but not the intended target.
00:28:01And a drop kick right on the knee again.
00:28:04Yeah, Perez.
00:28:05Precision.
00:28:06Looking for Pop Rocks.
00:28:08Rhea Ripley.
00:28:09Able to counter momentarily.
00:28:11Got caught up in the rope.
00:28:12Perez roll up for the win.
00:28:14Shoulders down.
00:28:15Ripley kicks it too.
00:28:19And Roxanne.
00:28:21Uh-oh.
00:28:23Rhea.
00:28:25Roxanne wanted the side rushing leg sweep.
00:28:28Headbutt.
00:28:30Ripley.
00:28:32Riptide.
00:28:36Rhea with the win.
00:28:37Rhea with the win.
00:28:40Here is your winner.
00:28:43And now from behind.
00:28:45Raquel Rodriguez attacking Rhea Ripley from behind.
00:28:49Rhea never saw it coming.
00:28:51Raquel looking to finish what Roxanne started.
00:28:55An all-out assault.
00:28:56Oh, and Rhea trying to fight back.
00:28:59No.
00:29:00No.
00:29:01What?
00:29:01Rhea with a headbutt.
00:29:04And now Ripley looking to deliver a riptide to Raquel.
00:29:07Roxanne Perez hanging on.
00:29:10Down goes Ripley off the clothesline.
00:29:14And the two-on-one assault begins.
00:29:16Number's too much for Ripley.
00:29:20Look at this.
00:29:24Here comes the former world champ, Io Sky.
00:29:32Io and Rhea vowed to take their own separate paths earlier tonight.
00:29:39But Io couldn't let this stand.
00:29:42Oh, and down goes Perez.
00:29:43Remember, Rhea helped Io out last week.
00:29:47And Io with a kick to Roxanne.
00:29:50And Raquel sends Io out to the apron.
00:29:55Rhea, headbutt, back to her feet.
00:29:57Io launches herself.
00:29:58Top rope with a missile block kick.
00:30:01And Rhea and Io hold the ring.
00:30:03Man, what a great match between Ripley and Roxanne Perez tonight.
00:30:18And luckily for Rhea Ripley, Io Sky showed up to even things up.
00:30:22You were right about this one.
00:30:43No, you were right about this one.
00:30:50You're right.
00:30:52I was right about this one.
00:30:55Because I know what he's capable of.
00:30:58Because I felt it firsthand.
00:31:00You mad, big man?
00:31:01Yes.
00:31:02You pissed, big man?
00:31:03Yes.
00:31:03Paris is your time.
00:31:06You are going to destroy Roman Reigns.
00:31:12I can't wait to see it.
00:31:15And tonight, you, who, who, who, who, are going to make sure that L.A. Knight, yeah, doesn't even make it to Paris.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:28Yeah.
00:31:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:31:33This is the Vision, boys.
00:31:37It is everything that we've dreamed of.
00:31:41And it is on the verge of becoming so much more.
00:31:57Well, the mission remains the same for the badass of the Vision.
00:32:02Braun Breaker looks to take out one of Seth Rollins' three challengers for Clash in Paris.
00:32:09Last week, it was Jey Uso.
00:32:11Tonight, it's L.A. Knight.
00:32:14One-on-one in our main event.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:18Yeah.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:23Yeah.
00:32:24Yeah.
00:32:25Yeah.
00:32:26Yeah.
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:28Yeah.
00:32:28Yeah.
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:30Yeah.
00:32:32The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:32:43Introducing first from James Fitzgerald, we get at 225, the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:32:57Well, Finn Balor claims that he is going to solve the AJ Styles problem tonight.
00:33:04AJ Styles has other ideas.
00:33:07AJ Finn, live on Netflix.
00:33:08You know, Corey, AJ Styles was man enough to admit that the Intercontinental Champion Dirty Dominic Mysterio got the best of him at SummerSlam, even outsmarted him.
00:33:20AJ Styles said, I won't let that happen again and he is still in pursuit of one Dirty Dom, and Dirty Dom is feeling that pressure, Dom knows how talented, how capable, how great the phenomenal AJ Styles can be.
00:33:32So, Dom's had to keep his head on the swivel, and I find it to be a mighty fine gesture by Finn Balor to offer to take care of that issue tonight.
00:33:46You know, we talked a lot recently, Corey, about the solidarity within Judgment Day, right?
00:34:00But it seems over the past few weeks, Roxanne and Raquel losing the tag titles, Dominic coming close to losing his championship on an occasion that maybe some cracks are starting to form within the Judgment Day.
00:34:13We saw the reaction to Dominic tonight when AJ Styles attacked him.
00:34:17A few cracks in the foundation, perhaps.
00:34:20A reason to overreact?
00:34:22Absolutely not.
00:34:23Like any great team, you're going to run through growing pains as the Judgment Day grows, as they expand, as they continue to amass gold and power.
00:34:31Sure, there's going to be squabbles from time to time, but nothing that can't be handled in the clubhouse.
00:34:53And his opponent, from Bray County, Wigaloo, Ireland, weighing in at 190 pounds, representing the Judgment Day, he is one half of the World Tag Team Champions,
00:35:20Ben Fuller!
00:35:24Renewal of what's been a great rivalry over the years, two former leaders of the world-renowned Bullet Club going one-on-one here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:35:34Two of the best in-ring competitors of an entire generation.
00:35:39Both men have extremely similar career paths before arriving in WWE, and both men have been to the top of the mountain.
00:35:47This is a true treat for wrestling fans around the world.
00:35:57And, of course, one half of the tag champs is partner J.D. McDonough.
00:36:02Had a stellar matchup earlier tonight to kick things off against Dragon Lee.
00:36:07AJ Styles had a hand of the decision there with Lee picking up the win.
00:36:13This will be a good one, Balor and AJ.
00:36:17Ladies and gentlemen, over 11,000 are here tonight in Birmingham, England, the United Kingdom, at the BP Pulse Arena for Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix.
00:36:34And one of those over 11,000 here, live and in living color, our good friend Georgie Farmer.
00:36:41That's Ajax from the Addams Family Series Wednesday, Season 2, Part 2, premieres September 3rd on Netflix.
00:36:49I watch it regularly with my daughters, one of their favorite shows.
00:36:51Big fan of Ajax.
00:36:52So much deep in the distance here.
00:37:00I order you for last week.
00:37:03You don't owe me anything.
00:37:05I appreciate it.
00:37:08I told you to stay out of one piece.
00:37:15I told you to stay out of one piece.
00:37:20I told you to stay out of one piece.
00:37:23We are family.
00:37:26She's not family.
00:37:29Why are you doing with her?
00:37:32Nio-san, we're just for you.
00:37:36Right?
00:37:37That means, that means...
00:37:41Stop talking with her.
00:37:43Got the roll!
00:37:45I'm so sorry.
00:37:47I'm so sorry.
00:37:52Terri, please trust me.
00:37:56I thought...
00:38:05This is getting weirder and weirder.
00:38:22Moments ago, we saw that interaction between Asuka and Giyo.
00:38:25Asuka herself actually dropped a very informative video on social media over the weekend.
00:38:29Going in-depth about her history and relationship with Io Sky.
00:38:33I recommend everybody check it out.
00:38:35I learned a lot from that as well.
00:38:36And now we're underway.
00:38:37Balor and AJ Styles.
00:38:38Renewal of a long-time rivalry between these two.
00:38:41But for tonight, Balor told Dominic Mysterio of the Judgment Day
00:38:44that he would take care of the AJ Styles problem.
00:38:47And looks to do just that in the early going.
00:38:50Sending Styles to the floor.
00:38:52It's a real show of solidarity by Balor for the entire Judgment Day.
00:38:55Finn understands that AJ's made Dom's life hell recently.
00:38:59It appeared to me that Finn was sort of forced into a corner by Dominic Mysterio tonight.
00:39:06I don't think Finn wanted to compete against Styles tonight.
00:39:08I think Finn Balor is a world-class athlete and lives for the best competition at any given opportunity.
00:39:13Finn knows that just a few years ago, this was a dream matchup.
00:39:17A PLE main event.
00:39:19Here we are on a random Monday in Birmingham.
00:39:21And we get to see two of the best to ever do what they do.
00:39:24Do it with each other.
00:39:26AJ Styles promises he will not rest until he wins what would be a second Intercontinental Championship in his career.
00:39:32You know AJ Styles made history here in the United Kingdom a few years ago.
00:39:36He became the first person to ever win the WWE Championship outside of North America.
00:39:42That happened in Manchester.
00:39:44I was there that night.
00:39:45Unforgettable evening.
00:39:47Certainly on the pantheon of great events in the career.
00:39:51The Hall of Fame career of AJ Styles.
00:39:54Here's the inaugural TNA Exposition Champion, former TNA World Champ as well.
00:39:59Speaking of TNA, congratulations to Ashby Elegance, the new TNA Knockouts Champion.
00:40:06She won NXT Heat Wave last night.
00:40:09An unbelievable event.
00:40:10Congratulations to all the men and women involved there.
00:40:13I watched it in the middle of the night here in the UK.
00:40:15I was sleeping, but I caught up on it this morning.
00:40:19Oh, and what a shot by Balor.
00:40:23And another one to Styles, and Styles gonna fight back.
00:40:26And notice we're seeing a bit of a tentative style from both superstars in the early moments of this matchup.
00:40:33And it's because they have such a healthy professional respect and understanding for one another's skill sets.
00:40:39They both understand that it only takes one mistake, and this one's over.
00:40:44Forearm and AJ looking to put Balor away.
00:40:47And Balor able to force AJ off balance as he was going for the phenomenal forearm.
00:40:59And Balor who got booted out of a match earlier tonight.
00:41:02Oh my god!
00:41:03And knows he tried to help out JD McDonough.
00:41:05He's gonna pretty much ignore the official there.
00:41:07Balor's in control.
00:41:08Hey Cole, too sweetly.
00:41:10No thanks.
00:41:14And Balor has taken over this match with the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:41:27Styles has been a thorn in the side of the Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:41:34This seems to be Dom's M.O., and this isn't me talking,
00:41:38these others have heard the rumors that Dom loves to have other people take care of his dirty one.
00:41:44You do know that Dom refers to himself as Dirty Dom.
00:41:48Dirty Dom lives to do dirty work at any opportunity.
00:41:52Dirty Dom, of course, with an opportunity at the AAA Mega Championship,
00:41:57the 12th of September in Las Vegas.
00:41:59Would absolutely solidify his claim to be thrown as the king of the luchadors.
00:42:05The dirtiest of the dirty.
00:42:08El Sucio de los Sucios.
00:42:10The voice of AAA.
00:42:12Oh, bang!
00:42:13Basement dropkick by Balor.
00:42:18And that quiets the over 11,000 here tonight.
00:42:21Because all 11,000 were trying their best to count all of Finn Balor's abs in one sitting.
00:42:26That's incredible.
00:42:26Double digits now, I believe.
00:42:28I don't know when the last time he had a car.
00:42:30They tried to get a B1 in Mexico City at Triple Mania.
00:42:34That turned out disastrously.
00:42:35They had great lasagna here today.
00:42:36I'll keep my comments to myself.
00:42:42And Balor now.
00:42:43Again, you know Dirty Dom's watching.
00:42:45Would love to see Styles get knocked off tonight by the very aggressive Balor.
00:42:53Listen, Finn Balor understands the opportunity at hand.
00:42:55While you've got Dirty Dom still reigning as Intercontinental Champion, you've got the World Tag Team titles around your waist with J.D. McDonough.
00:43:03You've got plenty of strength in the women's division.
00:43:05And Dom could potentially become the AAA Mega Champion in a couple of weeks.
00:43:10That is next level power within WWE and the industry as a whole at stake for the Judgment Day.
00:43:16I agree, as Balor controls Styles.
00:43:21Finn Balor, the inaugural Universal Champion.
00:43:26You know Finn has his eyes on once again tasting that victory.
00:43:32The very tip top of the mountain.
00:43:36Here comes AJ.
00:43:37And we're back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:43:48Balor and AJ Styles.
00:43:49Been a great matchup one-on-one.
00:43:53Anytime these two collide, it has the potential to be a classic.
00:43:58And Balor slowed down the pace right now.
00:44:01Savoring the suffering of AJ Styles.
00:44:04We mentioned moments ago, Dirty Dom's got to be watching this matchup in the back.
00:44:08Hoping that Balor can finally take Styles out.
00:44:11And Balor went for a cross body.
00:44:13And a great counter by Styles.
00:44:16Next to the spine.
00:44:18The knee to the spine of Balor.
00:44:24This matchup could go either way at this juncture.
00:44:29Critical moment here between Styles and Balor.
00:44:34AJ back to his feet.
00:44:40Balor as well.
00:44:41Finn into the corner.
00:44:43And Styles now lifted Finn up.
00:44:46And Finn will turn things around.
00:44:48Styles, however, counter of his own.
00:44:50Pele kick.
00:44:52Got Finn right on the crown of the skull.
00:44:54Here comes AJ once again.
00:44:56There's that sliding forearm by Styles.
00:44:58When Styles gets in this zone, he is next to impossible to stop.
00:45:06Ushiguroshi.
00:45:08Knee to the back of the neck.
00:45:09Cover on Balor.
00:45:11Kick out at two.
00:45:13An earfall by Styles.
00:45:19Styles asking himself now, what do I have to do next?
00:45:23What else is in the arsenal?
00:45:25What other tricks do I have up my sleeve than knock off Finn Balor?
00:45:31He could just take one Styles clash.
00:45:33AJ looking to end it.
00:45:35And Balor able to shift his balance just enough and launch AJ out to the apron.
00:45:42Styles with a forearm.
00:45:43Here it comes.
00:45:46Top rope.
00:45:47Balor ducks underneath.
00:45:49Sling blade by Finn.
00:45:57And now Balor measuring his man.
00:46:03Balor into the corner goes Styles.
00:46:05Did you hear the impact on that drop kick?
00:46:08And Styles is in the drop zone for Balor.
00:46:13Whatever air is left in the lungs of Styles is about to go bye-bye for the coup de grace.
00:46:18And Styles moves out of harm's way.
00:46:22And now rolls through.
00:46:24Looking for the cap rusher perhaps.
00:46:25But Balor able to turn it around.
00:46:27Got a knife cover.
00:46:28Styles turns it into a Styles clash.
00:46:32And he connects.
00:46:36One.
00:46:36One.
00:46:37Two.
00:46:38AJ with the win.
00:46:39One.
00:46:40Here is your winner.
00:46:45The phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:46:50And I'm going to be interested to see what Dirty Dom has to say about this.
00:46:55Dirty Dom should say thank you to Finn Balor for doing your best to take out the threat.
00:47:01But tonight belongs to AJ Styles.
00:47:08My mind's everywhere, Ruth.
00:47:10Got to keep an eye on the vision every single week.
00:47:14Got L.A. night.
00:47:15CM Punk beefing over here.
00:47:16I don't know who to trust.
00:47:18Got the four-way at Clash of Paris.
00:47:21I'm just trying to be world heavyweight champ again, Ruth.
00:47:23You feel me?
00:47:23Trust me.
00:47:30I feel you.
00:47:34The last thing you ever want to do is trust CM Punk, though.
00:47:40What's going on?
00:47:41Why are you so uptight?
00:47:43You act like you ain't done this for 20 years now.
00:47:46Stop worrying about it.
00:47:47I'm trying to help, man.
00:47:48Who cares about the help?
00:47:50You've helped enough people.
00:47:51Trust me.
00:47:51I'm the one who can say that the most.
00:47:54You've helped me.
00:47:55You've helped our family.
00:47:56You've helped this locker room.
00:47:57You've helped this company.
00:47:59Go out there and do it for you.
00:48:02Smash them all.
00:48:03And take it to your household.
00:48:06That's the only thing that matters, man.
00:48:08It ain't about being one of the boys.
00:48:10It ain't about making friends.
00:48:12It's about capturing these moments.
00:48:14And locking in our legacy.
00:48:16Representation, like I've always said.
00:48:18Hey.
00:48:19That's just my perspective.
00:48:21You got to go out there and do it.
00:48:22You got to do it.
00:48:24You got to do it.
00:48:26You got to do it.
00:48:30Interesting advice from the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:48:34Jey Uso, of course, part of the Fatal 4-Way Sunday in Paris,
00:48:38along with Rollins.
00:48:39CM Punk and the man who's in our main event tonight.
00:48:42L.A. Night.
00:48:43L.A. Night takes on broad breaker of Seth Rollins' vision live on Raw.
00:48:47Ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw next week heads to Paris, France.
00:48:59And we have a very special start time.
00:49:018 o'clock local in Paris.
00:49:03The east coast of the United States, 2 o'clock and 11 a.m.
00:49:0711 in the morning on the west coast of the United States.
00:49:10Monday Night Raw live on Netflix from Paris next week.
00:49:13You now rockin' with the best.
00:49:22Making money with a sense of urgency.
00:49:25Dollar, dollar bill, that's the currency.
00:49:28I hear them talkin' but it doesn't worry me.
00:49:31Cause they don't want no beef unless it's burger meat.
00:49:34Let the bass ride.
00:49:36Plus the brake light.
00:49:37And I don't know.
00:49:50I don't know what I need.
00:49:52You were a success because you always did the right thing.
00:49:55You too?
00:49:55You always had your head on your shoulders and you went for it.
00:49:58And you always listened to your heart.
00:50:01And that's why we were a success.
00:50:02You've gotta be kidding me.
00:50:03And that's why you became NXT Women's Champion.
00:50:06For the first time in your life you became a champion.
00:50:08And it was the best day of your life.
00:50:10I know you didn't get to WrestleMania this year.
00:50:12But you have before.
00:50:14You walked in as a champion.
00:50:15You walked out as a champion.
00:50:18Don't tell me you don't remember what that feels like.
00:50:21We are successful because we believe in ourselves.
00:50:25You're right.
00:50:27Blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:28Are you still here?
00:50:29I mean, come on.
00:50:31Go up.
00:50:32We've moved past you.
00:50:33Nobody even talks about you anymore.
00:50:36This is how you think we're gonna get to the top?
00:50:38Well, thank God we were better off without you.
00:50:41You guys do this all the time.
00:50:42We had a good time together, right?
00:50:44You're an idiot.
00:50:45And you are insecure.
00:50:48Okay, okay, okay.
00:50:49You're being really mean.
00:50:51Oh, you think I'm being mean?
00:50:53I'm sorry.
00:50:54I'm so sorry that you're stupid.
00:50:57I had my own top show, did you?
00:50:58Well, guess what?
00:51:00I was here first, okay?
00:51:02I won the first championship.
00:51:03You're right, too.
00:51:04I held two championships at one time.
00:51:06Guess what?
00:51:07I don't care what you say.
00:51:08It doesn't matter.
00:51:09Stop.
00:51:10I love you.
00:51:10I'm tired, okay?
00:51:11You're bothering me.
00:51:12You're bothering me.
00:51:13Now you're bothering me a lot, okay?
00:51:15Don't make me do what I don't want to do.
00:51:17Just now you're making me laugh.
00:51:18Stop, stop, stop, stop!
00:51:29I didn't know who else to go to.
00:51:30I think whatever is going on with Bailey,
00:51:32it's just genuinely concerning.
00:51:35I mean, have you checked in on her?
00:51:37Has there been an official medical update?
00:51:39Look, I have called her, okay?
00:51:40But as far as anything official, I've heard nothing.
00:51:43I'll tell you what.
00:51:43As soon as I hear anything, nothing.
00:51:45As soon as I do, though, I'll let you know.
00:51:46Okay, well, someone should really check in.
00:51:49Yeah, I got it.
00:51:51Hey, Adam.
00:51:52Oh, God.
00:51:53We got to talk.
00:51:55You're going to handle this AJ situation or what?
00:51:57He's out of control.
00:51:58AJ?
00:51:59Yeah.
00:51:59I just gave him a match against Finn.
00:52:00What more do you people want?
00:52:01I want more.
00:52:02Obviously, that's not enough.
00:52:04I need more.
00:52:05He cost JD the match.
00:52:09You know, he's been stalking me for months.
00:52:10He cost me the AAA Mega Campeonato.
00:52:13This needs to end.
00:52:15Okay.
00:52:16As much as I can't believe I'm going to say this, Dom, you're right.
00:52:20I know.
00:52:21It has to end.
00:52:22I'm aware.
00:52:23I'll tell you what.
00:52:23I'll make it right.
00:52:24How about this?
00:52:25Next week, Ron Paris, AJ Styles.
00:52:29Far from the building.
00:52:29Even better, one-on-one with Dominic Mysterio.
00:52:37Even better for that Intercontinental title.
00:52:41That'll end it, right?
00:52:42Does that work for you?
00:52:43No.
00:52:43No, it does work, and it's official.
00:52:47Charles Xavier, this does not work for me.
00:52:51Well, it works for me because Dominic Mysterio is going to defend the Intercontinental title
00:52:54against AJ Styles at Raw in Paris next Monday night.
00:52:58Don't worry.
00:52:59Dirty Dom will be ready for battle when the time comes.
00:53:01But before we get to Raw, we stop in Lyon, France on Friday for SmackDown, and the next
00:53:05Sunday, it is Clash in Paris.
00:53:08In Paris, 8 o'clock local start time, 2 on the East Coast, 11 on the West Coast, and what
00:53:12a card we have in store.
00:53:14Talk about the heavy artillery.
00:53:16We found out it has been made official by General Manager Adam Pearce, and the interaction that
00:53:23kicked off Monday Night Raw was unforgettable.
00:53:27The OTC, Roman Reigns, goes one-on-one with the tribal thief, Big Bronson Reed.
00:53:35And how about a good old-fashioned Donnybrook match?
00:53:39It means anything goes.
00:53:40There are no rules, no countouts, no disqualification.
00:53:43As Sheamus said earlier tonight, it is going to be a banger.
00:53:47Sheamus, Rusev, Donnybrook match in Paris.
00:53:51And can the greatest of all time find one more viral moment?
00:53:56We will get our answer in Paris.
00:53:58As John Cena goes one-on-one with the Maverick, Logan Paul.
00:54:04And the match is now official following their confrontation earlier tonight.
00:54:08Becky Lynch, the Intercontinental Champion, the man, will defend the title against the
00:54:13Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, who hopes to have the Intercontinental Championship to her
00:54:18Hall of Fame resume.
00:54:20And the World Heavyweight Championship is on the line in a fatal four-way match.
00:54:26And the champion, Seth Freakin' Rollins, is outnumbered, potentially outgunned.
00:54:31Is the champion also outsmarted?
00:54:34We'll find out as he defends against LA Knights, CM Punk, and Main Event, Jey Uso.
00:54:47Oh, and look at this!
00:54:50Roman Reigns assaulting Breaker, and Breaker was headed to the ring for the Main Event match
00:54:55tonight.
00:54:55And now a Superman punch to Bronson Reed.
00:54:57And we thought this fight was over earlier tonight, Corey, but apparently not.
00:55:01The OTC is fighting fire with fire.
00:55:04That's exactly what we're seeing from Roman Reigns.
00:55:07Roman's ready for war in Paris.
00:55:09And security finally getting a Reigns out of the building.
00:55:13General Manager Adam Pearce taking control of this mess as well.
00:55:16And Pearce barking at Breaker.
00:55:20Take it to the ring!
00:55:22And now it's LA Knight going after Brock Breaker.
00:55:26It's a smart decision.
00:55:28It may not be a popular one, but LA Knight trying to pick the bones.
00:55:31They're fighting in the locker room area here in Birmingham.
00:55:34And now LA Knight continues the assault on Breaker.
00:55:39The veteran Knight taking advantage.
00:55:41They have a Main Event match coming up, and now fighting through the gorilla position,
00:55:45and now out into the arena.
00:55:48Yeah, here we go.
00:55:50Uh-huh.
00:55:52LA Knight was in a mood, Corey.
00:55:54We heard him earlier on tonight.
00:55:56Said he's done with Punk.
00:55:57He's done with everybody.
00:55:58And he's going to take out his frustrations on Breaker tonight.
00:56:01Well, unfortunately, it's a double-edged sword for LA Knight,
00:56:04because he can't take his eyes off of this unpredictable badass.
00:56:09Yet LA Knight understands full well that standing in front of him
00:56:12are three of the best superstars of all time come this Sunday in Paris
00:56:17with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
00:56:20Yeah, and he can ill afford a injury.
00:56:24And I understand LA Knight's point.
00:56:26He explained that earlier tonight,
00:56:29and his displeasure with being the only one in that Main Event match
00:56:32who has to compete tonight.
00:56:34But Knight's shutting up, throwing hands, and doing what he's got to do.
00:56:38And now Breaker trying to turn the tables,
00:56:40but Knight right back on the attack.
00:56:43Of course, I mean, metaphorically shutting up,
00:56:45because let's be honest, LA Knight never truly shuts up.
00:56:47Not at all.
00:56:48And this is our Main Event match tonight, and it hasn't even started.
00:57:03And Knight and Breaker continue to brawl here around ringside.
00:57:07Knight and Breaker picking up exactly where Reigns and Reed left off
00:57:11to begin Monday Night Raw, brawling all over Hell and Creation.
00:57:14Yeah, the vision has created many friends, a lot of enemies.
00:57:22Again, Breaker just trying to stay clear of LA Knight,
00:57:26who's been on a rampage here.
00:57:29And, you know, Cole, objectively speaking,
00:57:31when I look at the card in the Main Event for Clash in Paris,
00:57:34you've got to give a nod to LA Knight.
00:57:36This is a guy who's always done things his own way, on his own.
00:57:40He's never been known to get along well with anybody but himself.
00:57:44Well, you can make the same argument for Punk.
00:57:46You're absolutely right.
00:57:47I was getting there.
00:57:47And how about Jay Uso and Roman Reigns saying,
00:57:50Jay, it's about time you stopped worrying about everybody else
00:57:52and did things for yourself.
00:57:54How's Jay going to handle that?
00:57:55That remains to be seen.
00:57:57We know Jay has what it takes.
00:57:58He has been to the top of the mountain.
00:58:00But, uh-oh, Breaker now.
00:58:02Trying to power up Knight.
00:58:03Knight has been relentless on this attack since the backstage.
00:58:07And it was Roman Reigns that initiated the attack.
00:58:10LA Knight's reaping the benefits.
00:58:11LA Knight driving Breaker into the post.
00:58:15Breaker's elbow's been busted up.
00:58:17Surprise, it's not worse than that.
00:58:23LA Knight bringing the fight.
00:58:27I cannot recall, Corey, the last time I've seen Knight this aggressive.
00:58:31Oh, and Breaker, I think he went low.
00:58:34I think you're absolutely right.
00:58:35It doesn't matter because the bell isn't even running to start the matchup.
00:58:38But Breaker, with that low blow, was taken over.
00:58:43There's that freakish athleticism.
00:58:46Oh, no.
00:58:47He's not going to do this.
00:58:49Get out of the way, Corey.
00:58:50Breaker looking to launch himself off the apron.
00:58:53Oh, my goodness!
00:58:55Breaker went for that wicked clothesline off the apron.
00:58:58Knight was ready.
00:58:59LA Knight was ready.
00:59:01And he took out Breaker as he came to the announce table.
00:59:04And the thing about tonight, Corey, is LA Knight has been a step ahead of Breaker since the beginning.
00:59:15And Breaker sent out to the floor.
00:59:18And this has been a relentless LA Knight.
00:59:24Knight now perched on the announce table.
00:59:26I'm not quite sure Breaker has any idea where he is.
00:59:30Corey's had his headset stripped off in the fray.
00:59:33Knight now with a clothesline to Breaker to the floor.
00:59:37This has been a mauling by LA Knight.
00:59:40An absolute mauling.
00:59:44Knight sends Breaker back into the ring.
00:59:48And finally the bell rings.
00:59:49And finally we've got a match underway.
00:59:52Knight takes it.
00:59:53And we are back.
01:00:00It has been a chaotic Monday Night Raw that started things off tonight with a Reed and Reigns fight.
01:00:05And then, of course, the brawl between Breaker and LA Knight.
01:00:08That went through the entire arena, Corey.
01:00:11And now the match has finally started our main event.
01:00:13The bell ringing moments ago to make it official.
01:00:16But LA Knight, let's be honest, Cole, has been whooping Braun Breaker's ass for the last five minutes or so.
01:00:22And there's no doubt about that.
01:00:23And I can't recall a time where I've seen LA Knight this aggressive, this ticked off, this frustrated, and just beating the hell out of his opponent.
01:00:31And what LA Knight's doing here is sending a message to Seth Rollins and the rest of the field for the main event.
01:00:37Covered by Knight.
01:00:38Off the neck breaker to kick out by Braun Breaker.
01:00:41Chris Heyman has now made his way to ringside.
01:00:43We know Knight felt that it was unfair, that he's the only combatant in the Fatal 4-Way who has to compete tonight.
01:00:48So LA Knight's saying, okay, cool, throw your best at me.
01:00:52Throw whatever you've got at me.
01:00:53I'm going to walk through, keep smiling, and keep swinging.
01:00:56If LA Knight keeps this up, I'm going to call him the favorite for fashion, Paris.
01:01:02Cole, I'm going to be honest with you.
01:01:03You and I talk about these shows all the time.
01:01:06And it's rare that you see this side of LA Knight this motivated, this fired up.
01:01:11This is a man on a mission.
01:01:13Well, it's been a long time coming.
01:01:14An opportunity at the World Championship for LA Knight.
01:01:18An opportunity to win the biggest prize in the business.
01:01:22And Knight has that chance.
01:01:24Remember, he owns the victory over Seth Rollins back at Saturday night's main event.
01:01:28And another opportunity at Seth before being disqualified.
01:01:33And now Breaker.
01:01:34Oh, just like that.
01:01:36Changes the complexion of the match.
01:01:38And that's where that freak athleticism.
01:01:40You can't get that stupid crap now.
01:01:43That's all you are.
01:01:44It's a worm.
01:01:44Is a mutant.
01:01:45You've got nothing else.
01:01:48Like Braun Breaker was created in a laboratory.
01:01:51Freakish athleticism.
01:01:54Something a little more than you.
01:01:57And LA Knight knew Corey.
01:01:58That's why he started his fight in the back.
01:02:01He knew he had to stay away from this break.
01:02:03Because LA Knight could be damaged severely and not be 100% headed to the clash in Paris.
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:11Yeah.
01:02:11And you know that's exactly what the Oracle wants.
01:02:13That's exactly what the champion Seth Rollins wants.
01:02:16Well, the Oracle has a lot on his plate over the next seven days.
01:02:22Of course, Breaker in the main event tonight.
01:02:24He's got that situation brewing with Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed.
01:02:28And remember.
01:02:29Look.
01:02:30It's one half of the 100.
01:02:33Remember, Roman Reigns has not forgotten that Paul Heyman stabbed him in the back and turned on him.
01:02:38Has not forgotten that.
01:02:41And, of course, Heyman's got to worry about this fatal four-way that Rollins finds himself in on Sunday.
01:02:46Right now, the Oracle can breathe a sigh of relief.
01:02:52Oh, what a suplex.
01:02:54Braun Breaker has settled in and turned the tables in this matchup.
01:03:00After a one-sided onslaught from LA Knight, Braun Breaker hit that 23-mile-an-hour mark and changed the game.
01:03:09Yeah, but Knight's still in it.
01:03:10Delivers a couple of left-hand jabs.
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:13Breaker's stunned a bit right on the front in LA Knight.
01:03:18And that one will knock Breaker down.
01:03:21Knight with a ton of resilience here tonight in this match.
01:03:24Oh, Knight!
01:03:25Side rushing legs.
01:03:27We didn't get all of it.
01:03:28And Breaker sent over the top rope to the floor.
01:03:30Oh!
01:03:31Oh!
01:03:31He said last week, we need hazard pay to sit out here when these guys are going at it.
01:03:39Build an addition on the coal mile.
01:03:41Here comes Knight!
01:03:42Knight driving Breaker to the floor.
01:03:45And, again, there's a different fire in the eyes of Knight tonight.
01:03:50You took the words right out of my mouth, Cole.
01:03:54A different kind of intensity in the megastar.
01:03:57This is a man on a mission.
01:03:58Notice he's not worried about catchphrases and being clever right now.
01:04:02LA Knight came here to fight tonight.
01:04:04And Braun Breaker, though, turns the tables again.
01:04:06You know, for a guy like LA Knight, who's never been world champion, he doesn't know how many more chances he's going to get.
01:04:12He's got to try to seize every opportunity that he has.
01:04:15And Knight driven shoulder first to the post, to the stairs.
01:04:29Knight went shoulder first to the stairs.
01:04:33And Breaker has taken over.
01:04:34Now the Oracle Paul Hammond with some sage advice, perhaps, in the ear of Breaker.
01:04:38Look at how cool and calm Braun Breaker is right now.
01:04:45In the middle of a fight, in the middle of a battle, Breaker still takes time to sit down, consult with the Oracle, and plan his next step.
01:04:54You see what's written on the back of his tights, right?
01:04:56The future.
01:04:57Paul Heyman believes that.
01:04:59So does Seth Rollins, who brought Breaker into the group division.
01:05:03Cole, be honest with me.
01:05:04Be honest with yourself.
01:05:05There's no one who doesn't believe that at this rate.
01:05:07Oh, I believe it 100%.
01:05:09You're looking at who's going to be a multiple-time world champion in his career.
01:05:14Heyman has taken to calling Braun Breaker the future of WrestleMania.
01:05:19I don't think there's any doubt about that, especially under the tutelage of Heyman and Rollins.
01:05:24And now, uh, Breaker just mocking Knight.
01:05:26And this is perhaps the scariest thing about Braun Breaker.
01:05:29The confidence that literally doubles and triples every time we see Braun Breaker in the ring.
01:05:35And Knight, distracted by Heyman, went after Heyman, and Breaker made him pay.
01:05:42Because Breaker is taking Heyman's words to heart.
01:05:46Breaker is believing.
01:05:47Breaker's got to screw this.
01:06:01Oh, definitely.
01:06:05Oh, and a knee to the face.
01:06:10He's delivering shots with his elbow there.
01:06:13Oh, the point of his elbow to the top of the skull of Knight.
01:06:17Braun Breaker is out for blood.
01:06:22Rollins' explanation.
01:06:24Rollins has got to have a big smile on his face in the back.
01:06:27No doubt about it.
01:06:27This guy is supposed to be world championship material.
01:06:30Honestly.
01:06:34Make a good commentator one day.
01:06:35Mike, him up in the middle of the ring.
01:06:41Better than that.
01:06:42You're not going to make it to the face.
01:06:44Baseball is nice.
01:06:46What a terrible light.
01:06:48Breakers taking over.
01:06:50L.A. Knight trying to fight back.
01:06:51Good job.
01:06:5111,000 here in Birmingham tonight for Monday Night Raw.
01:07:02Our main event, L.A. Knight, who started this fight in the back against Braun Breaker,
01:07:07has shown a fire we haven't seen out of him, but Breaker has been able to shut him down.
01:07:12Braun Breaker weathered the storm provided by L.A. Knight, and now the dog of the vision.
01:07:18The badass has settled into a groove, and L.A. Knight has had no answer.
01:07:22Oh, nice take down.
01:07:23Uh-oh, uh-oh.
01:07:23Here's the cover.
01:07:24Kick out by Braun at two.
01:07:28And Breaker into the corner.
01:07:29Nobody home.
01:07:29L.A. Knight with a net.
01:07:30Oh, went for the net.
01:07:32Breaker, and Breaker just held on.
01:07:36You know, remember that fatal four-way at Clash in Paris.
01:07:40Corey Rollins has no champion's advantage.
01:07:43It's first man to gain pinfall or submission will become the world champion.
01:07:48Rollins knows that.
01:07:51Unfortunately for the champions, so do the other three competitors looking to dethrone the visionary.
01:07:58No love lost between any of the men in this match.
01:08:01Made it pretty clear tonight how they think about each other.
01:08:04Now, look at that.
01:08:05So smooth, so fluid.
01:08:07And there it is, the Brekensteiner.
01:08:09Cover by Breaker.
01:08:11Hook to the leg.
01:08:12Kick out by Knight at two.
01:08:13The ease with which he moves around the ring.
01:08:19Romanticize.
01:08:20Effortless.
01:08:21It defies logic.
01:08:23It defies physics.
01:08:25Two or three.
01:08:26Good.
01:08:27I'm going to break him in.
01:08:28Oh, come on out.
01:08:29He right there.
01:08:29You would want to hear that.
01:08:30Okay, he's L.A. Knight.
01:08:31He right there.
01:08:33And if you're in the Oracle, you're more than happy to hear those words come out of Braun Breaker,
01:08:38who is lining it up.
01:08:42Knight to his feet.
01:08:43Breaker.
01:08:44Looks like he might be going for the spear.
01:08:46And Knight able to stop him.
01:08:48Now, L.A. caught by Breaker.
01:08:50Breaker.
01:08:51Powering Knight up.
01:08:53Good God.
01:08:55Oh!
01:08:55And L.A. Knight turned it into a DDT.
01:08:57Great counter by Knight.
01:09:00Breaker got a little overconfident, and the veteran Knight made him pay for it.
01:09:05And now we're at a crucial moment of this match.
01:09:10One thing I noticed about Heyman as well at ringside in the Breaker matches, Corey,
01:09:13very animated, very much involved, offering a ton of advice.
01:09:17If he gets up first, we got problems.
01:09:20You don't want these problems.
01:09:21Finish this trick off, will you?
01:09:24I mean, in a way, Heyman's acting as Braun Breaker's conscience or complete lack thereof.
01:09:28It's like the Jiminy Cricket of violence.
01:09:31Nice right hand by Breaker.
01:09:33And L.A. Knight fights back as well.
01:09:36And Braun Breaker, most importantly, takes the information to heart, and Braun executes.
01:09:41Heyman can tell him the plays.
01:09:43Braun just plays.
01:09:53Knight ducks onto the clothesline, and L.A. Knight building up momentum now, and down goes Breaker.
01:09:58And perhaps things are shifting a bit in the favor of L.A. Knight.
01:10:04Now he gets to neck Breaker.
01:10:06Breaker beginning to look a little out of sorts.
01:10:09Perhaps losing his death grip on this matchup.
01:10:12Oh, counter by Breaker.
01:10:15Oh, my God.
01:10:16Oh, my God.
01:10:17That's the type of terrifying power.
01:10:19Oh!
01:10:20Possessed by Braun Breaker.
01:10:21Yeah, no, no.
01:10:22And kudos to L.A. Knight for being able to navigate it.
01:10:25Yeah, no.
01:10:26And deliver that reverse DDT, and Knight.
01:10:32That's got to be a terrifying feeling, being in the ring with somebody that strong.
01:10:35It's like wrestling a steer or a wild bull or something.
01:10:38That's a great way to describe it.
01:10:40TBR, be proud.
01:10:42Top rope now.
01:10:43L.A. Knight lands on his feet.
01:10:45Breaker moved out of harm's way momentarily.
01:10:47Knight went for the BFT, countered by Breaker.
01:10:49Breaker down for the clothesline, takes down Knight.
01:10:51I believe that could be classified as a Steiner line.
01:10:56You know, Breaker has really become a workhorse as well in the division in recent weeks.
01:11:01Taking every challenge that has been put in front of him.
01:11:07And cut through him like a hot knife through butter.
01:11:09Oh!
01:11:10L.A. Knight made him pay.
01:11:12Cover now by Knight.
01:11:13This will be a big win.
01:11:14Heading to Sunday and a kick out of two.
01:11:16If there is one potential weakness in Braun Breaker's game, it's what we just saw.
01:11:20The man tends to get a little overzealous.
01:11:23Almost excitable to deliver his own offense.
01:11:26And sometimes leaves himself open.
01:11:29And L.A. Knight just capitalized.
01:11:31Let's take another look at this.
01:11:32Breaker off the rope.
01:11:33Picking up speed.
01:11:34And a well-placed boot to the jaw.
01:11:37Keeps L.A. Knight in this fight.
01:11:38And again, we've got to remember the inexperience still of Braun Breaker.
01:11:41The reason he's under the tutelage of a Heyman.
01:11:44He'll make those mistakes every once in a while.
01:11:46But able to capitalize sometimes and turn him around.
01:11:48And Knight delivers a big right hand.
01:11:50Breaker perched precariously on the top turnbuckle.
01:11:56What is L.A. Knight looking for?
01:12:02Knight maybe for a superplex.
01:12:05Breaker with body shots now trying to create space.
01:12:07And he does.
01:12:12Now it's L.A. Knight mimicking Breaker.
01:12:14And L.A. Knight with a superplex.
01:12:17That was a megaplex.
01:12:21And now L.A. Knight.
01:12:24L.A. Knight.
01:12:25L.A. Knight.
01:12:27Tough rope elbow.
01:12:32L.A. Knight is feeling it.
01:12:35He's on a different level tonight.
01:12:36This is as aggressive and focused as we may have ever seen, damn it.
01:12:42Of course.
01:12:43I mean, should we expect anything different?
01:12:48His prize pupil in trouble.
01:12:51And here comes Rollins.
01:12:52This tells me a lot, Cole.
01:12:53This tells me that Seth Rollins is sweating.
01:12:56Rollins is worried.
01:12:57And he doesn't like what he's seeing from L.A. Knight.
01:13:00I guarantee you, he saw the fire in the eyes of Knight that we saw.
01:13:05L.A. Knight now in pursuit of the world champion.
01:13:08And now Breaker with a spear.
01:13:10And just like that, Rollins turns the tables.
01:13:13And Breaker spears Knight out of his boots.
01:13:19Rollins laid the trap.
01:13:22Braun Breaker struck.
01:13:24And things are about to get even worse for L.A. Knight.
01:13:29Knight almost quit in half.
01:13:32And Rollins has got to be loving what he sees.
01:13:35Cover.
01:13:35And it's over.
01:13:39Rollins never made contact with Knight.
01:13:41So there was never a disqualification.
01:13:44And Breaker able to pick up the win.
01:13:46And now Rollins just beat the hell out of one of his Sunday opponents.
01:13:50Six nights out.
01:13:51The mind games have begun.
01:13:54This is the vision.
01:13:56This is Breaker protecting Rollins.
01:13:59Protecting the world championship.
01:14:03And here comes Jey Uso into the fray.
01:14:07Main event Jey Uso.
01:14:09Who wants his world title back Sunday.
01:14:12I think March into the ring.
01:14:18Not so much to help L.A. Knight.
01:14:19But to go after that man.
01:14:22The world champ, Seth Rollins.
01:14:23G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G.
01:14:31And Rollins runs into a super kick.
01:14:38Main event Jey Uso standing tall.
01:14:41Lining up the visionary.
01:14:47And Breaker.
01:14:48Again going to run interference for Rollins.
01:14:51And now Seth Rollins taking advantage.
01:14:54Kick to the midsection.
01:14:55Rollins looking for a pedigree to Uso.
01:14:57Uso and Knight are down.
01:15:08And Rollins and Breaker want to do more damage
01:15:11to two of Rollins' opponents on Sunday.
01:15:19Rollins' vision extremely clear.
01:15:22Take out my opponents.
01:15:25So they're less than 100%.
01:15:26Absolute power and total control.
01:15:36And the fourth man in the fatal four-way equation Sunday.
01:15:45And Breaker with a mink Punk in the aisle.
01:15:49And Punk has come to fight.
01:15:52Rollins sick the dog on CM Punk.
01:15:55But Punk was ready.
01:15:57And now Breaker driven into the ring post.
01:16:01And now Punk turns his attention to his arch-nemesis, the world champion, Seth Rollins.
01:16:16Here we go!
01:16:17Punk and Rollins now with Shane G. Blows.
01:16:20Big fight.
01:16:21It's been a night of chaos and pandemonium on Monday Night Raw.
01:16:26T-F-O! T-F-O! T-F-O! T-F-O!
01:16:29CF Punk looking to take his pound of flesh from the visionary before we arrive in Paris.
01:16:35And now Braun Breaker rescuing the world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins.
01:16:42And Rollins survives for at least six more nights.
01:16:46And this one will never get in the picture of this.
01:16:49Team of God!
01:16:51D-F-O!
01:16:51T-F-O!
01:16:53P-F-O!
01:16:54Ircontrolled history!
01:16:55Do they want to listen to me?
01:16:56Do they want to listen to me?
01:16:57T-F-O!
01:16:59T-F-O!
01:17:00If you listen to them.
01:17:01I'm the king, all right?
01:17:07I'm the king.
01:17:26Thank you so much for keeping the peace.
01:17:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:17:29Look, look, look.
01:17:32They're doing it first.
01:17:33They're doing it first.
01:17:34They're doing it first.
01:17:37That's wise advice by Rollins
01:17:39as Punk and Knight now are imploding.
01:17:43Oh, shoved into Uso goes Knight.
01:17:47And Punk doesn't care.
01:17:49He's got Knight up for a GTS.
01:17:52Superkick from Jane of Knight.
01:17:59Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:18:09Oh, superkick from Jane of Knight.
01:18:12Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:18:15You think you stand a chance, Jay?
01:18:20And Corey, Jay seems to have taken his cousin Roman Reigns' advice.
01:18:28Every man for himself.
01:18:32No one's gonna do it for you, Jay.
01:18:34You're all on your own in Paris.
01:18:36Jay Uso buys in
01:18:39to the every man for himself attitude.
01:18:43I'm the king in this house, son.
01:18:44You got that?
01:18:45I'm the king.
01:18:47I'm the king.
01:18:49We'll find out, Seth,
01:18:51but that's the case
01:18:52Sunday.
01:18:54Clash in Paris.
01:18:56Dividing, they call.
01:18:58Dividing, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they call me, they
