00:00RIP
01:10But there's something that I must acknowledge myself in order to move forward.
01:14I'm not the same guy as I used to be.
01:17But Cody predicted it a year and a half ago.
01:20What do we call it?
01:20What's their name?
01:22The vision?
01:23They followed through on the things Cody said.
01:26They took everything from me.
01:30Cody, Cody, Cody, Cody!
01:32Cody, Cody!
01:34I got to acknowledge the fact that things aren't the same.
01:36I don't have all the things that I used to have.
01:39I don't have a bloodline.
01:42I might as well talk about it.
01:44I'm extremely proud of Jake.
01:46He's the one that has the rematch clause.
01:48So he's the one that should be fighting for the championship.
01:51But like I said, they took my bloodline.
01:53They took the wise man.
01:55They took everything.
01:56So they had to find something to take from me.
01:59Ladies and gentlemen.
02:01My name is Paul Haynes.
02:09With the realest gangster to hit Birmingham.
02:12The owner of the Shulafalla.
02:14Bronson Reed.
02:19And Mr. Reed pointed out to me.
02:21Brock Lesnar's advocate became Roman Reigns' wise man.
02:29For five years, owned everything that there was to own.
02:35And changed this entire industry.
02:40I miss you, my tribal chief.
02:42And I love you now.
02:44Bronson Reed!
02:47Bronson Reed!
02:50Bronson!
02:51Bronson Reed!
02:54Bronson Reed!
02:55Bronson Reed!
02:56You need is the tough love that I used to offer you.
03:01Clash in Paris.
03:02I'm man enough to deliver that tough love to you.
03:05To beat that tough love into you, Roman Reigns.
03:09But he is.
03:11You're going to kiss my ass because I'm going to whoop his ass.
03:14Roman Reigns.
03:20At Clash in Paris, it isn't about receipts.
03:23It is about disrespect.
03:25Your tattoos?
03:27All paid for.
03:29And Roman.
03:31And at Clash in Paris, you're going to find out why.
03:35This guy's Samoan?
03:37That means your ass belongs to me.
03:38So maybe we should start this thing over, huh?
03:41Return my shoes.
03:44Apologize to my people.
03:46For wasting our time.
03:49Acknowledge me.
03:51And don't ever send disrespect my way again.
03:54What do you say there, huh?
03:55Fix this problem.
03:56I am going to force you to acknowledge Tribal Thief.
04:08He ain't going to have to come up here because I'm going down there.
04:12Reigns and Reed.
04:14And the fight's on.
04:15The free for all is underway.
04:17Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed.
04:19Reed may force Roman to take it.
04:22Roman Reigns has felt the wrath of Reed.
04:24Some extra security down here.
04:27And Reed with a splash in the corner to everyone.
04:31And it's on to Reigns.
04:34Things are about to get worse for the Tribal Chief.
04:37It's been unleashed, Corey.
04:39Reed attacking everyone in his pack out there as well.
04:42And a Superman punch by Roman.
04:45The OTC into the fray.
04:49Reigns and Reed tattooed up these two.
04:54Finally, some separation between these two.
04:56A raucous start to Monday Night Raw.
05:00The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez will go one-on-one with the eradicator, Nikki Bella,
05:07who has vowed to call out Becky Lynch here tonight.
05:11Still trying to figure out what Doc's cooking up with El Grande Americano.
05:14Dominic Mysterio will face by King Goh for the Las Vegas, get ready.
05:27J.D.
05:28McDonough.
05:29McDonough, who was tabbed by none other than Rey Mysterio.
05:33And in defense of Dragon Lee.
05:34I mean, he stumbled, as you mentioned, but to fight off here tonight.
05:37Oh!
05:37Dragon screw by Dragon Lee to the knee of McDonough.
05:40Wrecking ball drop kick.
05:42Kick right to the face.
05:43Rey Mysterio gave him 80 years ago to every arena he visits.
05:48Over there distracting referee Jessica Carr for a moment as Finn Balor tried to get involved.
05:52Jessica Carr is going to send him back to the locker room.
05:55Dragon Lee going to fly.
05:56McDonough take it out.
05:57Lee taking advantage.
05:59First on the top turnbuckle.
06:00Oh!
06:01McDonough caught him with a kick.
06:02Was sent back to the locker room moments ago by our official Jessica Carr.
06:06Ficiousness within in order to get the job done.
06:08He says he has the perfect sync between mind and body.
06:12Of course, starting the night off with a Roman Bronson brawl.
06:15And now J.D. McDonough.
06:17It's just a matter of stringing together a couple of Ws.
06:19They throw a superstar off of their game being disrespectful.
06:22And the super punch by McDonough.
06:25Both men taken out.
06:26McDonough.
06:27Oh!
06:27Oh, my goodness.
06:28What a release.
06:29Oh, he's in Rana.
06:31He's right on top of his skull.
06:33Oh!
06:34Inside out.
06:34Counter.
06:35What a counter by J.D. McDonough.
06:37Well, Dominic shouldn't have been involved in the first place.
06:39But A.J. Stiles.
06:40And Lee with a big elbow to McDonough.
06:46Oh!
06:47And off Operation Dragon to victory on Monday Night Raw.
06:53Let's check in with Jackie Redman.
06:55L.A., huge match coming up this weekend at Clash in Paris.
06:58You've got a match against Braun Breaker tonight.
07:00Seth Rollins has his eyes on you.
07:02Paws you right there.
07:03That is one hell of an assumption.
07:06And let me talk to you, because here's the deal.
07:07When I think about what happened last week, because when I look at it, it looks like there
07:11was a chance for him to stop.
07:12Maybe that was the case.
07:13But let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
07:15Let's say it was an accident.
07:16Turned away and went on his way.
07:17He didn't lift a finger to help me, did he?
07:19I agree with that sentiment.
07:21Why?
07:21Because you're a hungry man.
07:23The rations are limited.
07:24And everybody else but this man going to bed hungry.
07:27Because you're looking at your world heavyweight champion.
07:29But, my God, how convenient.
07:31I've got to tell you what's going to happen to you, Braun.
07:33We're all with everybody saying L.A. Night.
07:37Yeah.
07:38Woof, woof, dummy.
07:43PENTA!
07:45Well, Penta won a matchup over Grayson Waller.
07:48Visual representation of the sadness within the New Day.
07:53Well, there goes the fun.
07:55You're lucky Kofi and Woods haven't locked themselves in a cabin and began to live with cats.
07:59That's an outfit straight out of the Bob Pratchett collection.
08:02He looks like Mr. Monopoly.
08:04Let me first explain why Big G is here at ringside.
08:08Corey is about to sign a petition that Grayson Waller...
08:11Particularly at the expense of Xavier Woods several weeks back.
08:15We're 27, well now 28, signatures on the petition.
08:19To see in the world, Michael Cole.
08:20Loading with the right hands on Penta, driving him headfirst.
08:23Makes me really sad to see what the New Day are going through.
08:27And a kickout.
08:27There's been so much stuff going on.
08:29I think blame is at some point.
08:31I'm not a...
08:32Oh, and Penta got his tears.
08:33So what number step do you think they are in the grieving process?
08:36Oh, and Penta!
08:38There's going to be some trauma to the chest of Kofi.
08:40That is reversal by Kingston, the veteran.
08:42Oh, and Kofi, great take out of Penta.
08:44Oh, what a number intercontinental.
08:47Oh, and a big shot by Kingston.
08:50Penta!
08:51Oh my goodness!
08:52Back body drop!
08:53Penta is so much fun to watch.
08:55Sling blade delivered.
08:56Face first goes Kofi.
08:58Oh!
08:59A loss is always embarrassing.
09:01Green, general manager Adam Pearce made it official for tonight.
09:05Oh, the boom drop.
09:06And Kingston out.
09:07Oh!
09:08Paradise.
09:08Up over the top.
09:10Oh!
09:10Backstabbing to Kingston.
09:11Oh!
09:12Backstabbing to Kingston.
09:12Get it.
09:12Get it.
09:13Get it.
09:13Get it.
09:13It's dangerous.
09:14Oh!
09:14Oh!
09:14Oh!
09:15Oh!
09:15Oh!
09:15Looking for the...
09:15By Kofi, who delivers the big, famouser from cover for the win.
09:19Kick out by Penta.
09:21That'll double Kofi over.
09:22Penta went for a kick to the back of the head.
09:24The Penta driver.
09:26No!
09:26Oh!
09:26The Penta driver.
09:27To the leg.
09:28And somehow Kingston kicked out.
09:29Holy!
09:30Grayson Waller shoving Kofi out of harm's way.
09:33And he actually took a bullet.
09:34Direction.
09:36Penta up over the top.
09:37And down goes Kofi.
09:38And Grayson Waller again for Kofi.
09:41Who is...
09:42Who?
09:42In paradise.
09:44And tonight, the big G pays dividends.
09:48And that performance tonight, I don't think it could have hurt.
10:00Rhea, thanks for having my back last week.
10:04I respect you.
10:05Kairi and Asuka are my family.
10:09They are not happy about you getting involved in our business.
10:13I think we need to keep our distance for a while.
10:17Yo, you know I respect you two.
10:19And honestly, if this is something that you have to do, then...
10:22I get it.
10:23It's okay.
10:24Appreciate you.
10:25You are the number one contender to the Women's World Championship, okay?
10:31No one has taken that away from you.
10:33But you will have your championship match.
10:35I already have an opponent in mind.
10:36Give me a week.
10:37I'll let you know who you're facing and when the championship match is.
10:40I wish I could have been at Clash in Paris.
10:45Understand?
10:46Entiendo.
10:47I will be ready.
10:48I know you will.
10:50The men!
10:52Let's come around!
10:59Went as bad as it did when it comes to the Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch.
11:03Disrespect like she always does.
11:04She disrespects the fans.
11:12You can boo me, but I just want you to know that this place was a big part of my journey.
11:18I first had my tryout, my WWE tryout, here in Birmingham.
11:24And it was a dump then and it's a dump now.
11:29Nikki Bella thinks she can call me out to my ring.
11:33I'm not some loser.
11:34I'm not Aston Villa or Birmingham City.
11:39Remember, Nikki said she was going to call up.
11:42Nikki's here.
11:45If you're not a dog, then why are you acting like a little bitch?
11:53Excuse me, what did you?
11:54Broke-neck Barbie over here.
11:57This broken-neck Barbie kicked your ass last week.
12:00Don't know if you remember that.
12:01Because of me, you have a page to write history on.
12:05Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
12:07You and your twin.
12:08The better twin, if you ask me.
12:11To replace you.
12:13And I've done a pretty good job.
12:16You wanted to replace me because you're scared to face me.
12:19You used to be that scared girl in the corner of Charlotte Flair's little sidekick.
12:23I am no one's sidekick.
12:25I am no one's shadow.
12:27It says so in my song.
12:29These people, they made you relevant.
12:33And by the way, I'm not the only person who thinks this.
12:35Is this what the man has become?
12:38Has the man lost her balls?
12:40I have balls.
12:41You cheat.
12:43You're cheap.
12:44You might be a champion, but you're another C-word.
12:49Coward.
12:50Way worse than the other C-word I thought you were going to say.
12:53Want your match?
12:54Fine.
12:55Fine.
12:55You can have your match.
12:57In Paris.
12:58At Clash.
12:59Because if I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too.
13:02Your name will never be as big as Bella.
13:06At Clash in Paris, Bella, the new Intercontinental Champion.
13:12Oh, and Becky went for a cheap shot.
13:14Nikki Bella with me.
13:16Knack at the expense of the Intercontinental Champion.
13:20Trying to send a message to Nikki Bella.
13:21Look for the manhandle slam.
13:23And we're going to take Becky out once again here tonight.
13:25With a Rack Attack 2.0.
13:27And Becky retreats to her Hall of Fame resume.
13:30Let's head back to Jackie Redman.
13:34Paris.
13:34Clash with Paris.
13:35Inverse.
13:36Listen, I talked to LA Knight earlier, and he had a lot to say.
13:40I know you love when people talk about you, so I was hoping I could get a response.
13:44Listen, I'm not trying to be anybody's friend here.
13:46I understand what's at stake.
13:48The World Heavyweight Championship, obviously it's every man for himself.
13:51I was just trying to get everybody on the same page.
13:54I was just trying to make sure that we all got there to get that opportunity.
13:57I'm obsessed.
13:58I'm obsessed with holding the World Heavyweight title.
14:02Seth Rollins, Jay, and LA Knight.
14:05If I got to beat and cripple all of you, I will do so.
14:08With everybody saying,
14:10CM Punk.
14:12A massive ovation for the eradicator, Rhea Ripley.
14:27Excommunicated from, along with her buddy, Damian Priest.
14:30Accompanied, of course, by Raquel Rodriguez, who has a long-storied...
14:37Roxanne Perez has had one of the great rookie years.
14:40Back here, live on Monday Night Raw on Netflix, sold out tonight.
14:44One-on-one.
14:45Third time in their career.
14:47Has not beaten Rhea Ripley, but would love to win for Roxanne Perez, who we mentioned moments ago, Corey.
14:53Oh, J.D. McDonough to impart theirs on the prop.
14:58Oh, what a drop kick.
14:59As she made her entrance.
15:00She was all smiles.
15:01She didn't have that trade.
15:03Ripley now, not on the attack against Perez.
15:06Oh, and able to accomplish, but she's in there against one of the best.
15:10Rhea Ripley, who just dropped.
15:11Rhea got distracted, and Roxanne made her pay with that suicide dive.
15:15Target, a body part.
15:16Oh, my goodness.
15:18And Rhea made Roxanne.
15:19And Rhea was trying to maintain her own balance to power up.
15:22Oh, and a prodigy.
15:25Oh, and that...
15:26Now Perez, that springboard moonsault of Rhea Ripley.
15:30The more it affects all of Rhea's...
15:32You're absolutely right.
15:33Ooh, accelerate at the right moment.
15:35Sit around Finn Balor for more than five minutes and not learn something.
15:38Oh, wow.
15:39Too much time here.
15:41Once again, went for that...
15:42Oh, Rhea got the knees up.
15:44You're dealing with the Judgment Day.
15:45And Roxanne with a hurricanrana.
15:48Oh, and a knee right to the back of the neck.
15:51Cover.
15:51Hook of the leg.
15:52Kick out at two by Ripley.
15:54Perez on the attack.
15:55That was just bait.
15:56Oh, and a headbutt.
15:57Rhea will deliver the razor's edge.
16:01Oh, and what a kick.
16:03Roxanne stays in the match.
16:06And now Rhea.
16:07Oh, and down goes Raquel.
16:09Not the intended target.
16:11And a drop kick right on the knee again.
16:13Caught up in the rope.
16:13Perez roll up for the win.
16:16Shoulders down.
16:16Ripley kicks it too.
16:18Side rushing leg sweep.
16:20Riptide.
16:23Rhea with the win.
16:24Now from behind.
16:26Raquel Rodriguez.
16:28An all-out assault.
16:29Oh, and Rhea trying to fight back.
16:32Down goes Ripley off the clothesline.
16:34Clothesline.
16:35Well, here comes the former world champ.
16:37Io Sky.
16:38Passed earlier tonight.
16:40This stand.
16:41Oh, and down goes Perez.
16:43Remember?
16:43Raquel sends Io out to the apron.
16:45Rhea headbutt.
16:47Top roll for the missile flop kick.
16:48Showed up to even things up.
16:50You were right about this one.
17:01Oh.
17:02You were right about this one.
17:04I was right about this one.
17:06You're mad, big man.
17:08Yes.
17:08You're pissed, big man.
17:09Yes.
17:10You are going to destroy.
17:12I can't wait to see it.
17:15You, who, who, who?
17:20The LA Knight, yeah!
17:22Doesn't even make it to Paris.
17:25Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
17:28It is everything that we've dreamed of.
17:31It is on the verge of becoming so much more.
17:41Braun Breaker looks to take out one of Seth Rollins' three challengers.
17:45Outsmarted him.
17:54AJ Styles said, I won't let that happen again.
17:56There's going to be squabbles from time to time.
17:58There's nothing that can't be handled.
18:03Best in-ring competitors of an entire generation.
18:07His partner, JD McDonough, had a stellar matchup.
18:11So much for keeping the distance here.
18:13I ordered you for last week.
18:15You don't owe me anything.
18:17I appreciate it.
18:20You don't owe me anything.
18:21You don't owe me anything.
18:22You don't owe me anything.
18:25You don't owe me anything.
18:29I appreciate it.
18:30Why are you doing with her?
18:31Riyo-san, we're just for you, right?
18:34That's why that's what I'm talking about.
18:36What's that? That means, that means, stop talking with heart.
18:41He's really just a little bit.
18:42He's not able to trust me.
19:01Outside of North America.
19:04Exposition champion, former TNA World Champ as well.
19:08Oh, and what a shot by Balor.
19:10And another one for one another's skill sets.
19:13They both, and Balor able to force AJ off balance,
19:17booted out of a match earlier tonight.
19:19Oh, my God.
19:20Help out JD McDonough.
19:22And Balor went for a cross body and a great counter by Styles.
19:26Styles, however, counter of his own.
19:29Pele kick.
19:29Ushiguroshi on Balor.
19:33Kick out at two.
19:35Sling blade by Finn.
19:38Balor into the corner.
19:39Oh, my goodness.
19:39Styles is about to go bye-bye for the coup de grace,
19:42and Styles moves out of harm's way.
19:45Got a nice cover.
19:46Styles turns it into a Styles clash, and he connects.
19:50AJ with a win.
19:54Thank you to Finn Balor for doing your best to take out.
19:57My mind's everywhere, Ush.
19:59Got to keep an eye on the vision every single week.
20:02Got L.A. night, CM Punk beefing over here.
20:05I don't know who to trust.
20:06I'm just trying to be world heavyweight champ again.
20:07Ush, you feel me?
20:11Trust me.
20:12The last thing you ever want to do is trust CM Punk, though.
20:17What's going on?
20:18Why are you so uptight?
20:19You act like you ain't done this for 20 years now.
20:21I'm the one who can say that the most.
20:24Smash them all.
20:25And take it to your household.
20:27It ain't about being one of the boys.
20:29It ain't about making friends and locking in our legacy.
20:33Representation, like I've always said.
20:35That's just my perspective.
20:36You got to go out there and do what you want.
20:39Eat.
20:40Eat.
20:42The new day.
20:46Kofi Kingston.
20:47Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
20:48Oh, my God.
20:50Celebrations are in order.
20:52Against all odds, I defeated Penta.
20:56I avenged Woods.
20:58And I made Penta pay for his sins.
21:00Hey, shut up.
21:01I made Penta pay for his sins.
21:04Shut your mouths when we are speaking.
21:07For the third week in a row, Penta has illegally assaulted us.
21:11He injured my neck.
21:14You idiots that sound like you have sleep apnea when you speak.
21:18Each and every one of you disgust us.
21:20Be quiet.
21:22We get to go back to the great and beautiful United States of America in a few days.
21:28Y'all should be thankful because you got to lay eyes on us.
21:31You should thank God for that.
21:35Get down on your knees.
21:37Scream out, thank God.
21:45We're the best.
21:46We're the best.
21:47You were as obsessed because you always did the right thing.
21:50You too.
21:51Until you became NXT Women's Champion.
21:53For the first time in your life, you walked in as a champion.
21:56You walked out as a champion.
21:58Because we believe in ourselves.
22:00You're right.
22:01Are you still here?
22:02I mean, come on.
22:03Go up.
22:04We moved past you.
22:05This is how you think we're going to get to the top?
22:07Well, thank God we were better off.
22:09You're being really mean.
22:11Oh, you think I'm being mean?
22:12I won the first championship.
22:14You're right, too.
22:14I held two championships at one time.
22:17Stop.
22:18Stop.
22:18Stop.
22:19Stop.
22:19Stop.
22:21Roman Reigns goes one-on-one.
22:23Big.
22:24Bronson Reed.
22:26Oh, and look at this.
22:28Breaker.
22:28And Breaker was headed to the ring for the main event match tonight.
22:31And that was Superman punch.
22:32Apparently not.
22:33The OTC is fighting fire with fire.
22:36Pierce taking control of this mess as well.
22:38You have a mess.
22:39And now at LA Knight, going out to Braun Breaker.
22:43They have a main event match coming up.
22:45And now fighting through the gorilla position and now out into the arena.
22:50LA Knight was in a mood, Corey.
22:52We heard him earlier on tonight because he can't take his eyes off of this unpredictable.
22:58Explain that earlier tonight.
22:59His displeasure when he attacked.
23:02Of course, I mean, metaphorically shutting up because let's be honest.
23:04Breaker continued to brawl here.
23:06He's been on a rampage here.
23:09And, you know, he's never really been known to get along well with.
23:12Initiated the attack.
23:14LA Knight's matchup.
23:15But Breaker with that low blow was taken over.
23:18Breaker looking to launch himself.
23:20Off the apron.
23:21Oh, my goodness.
23:22Breaker sits at the beginning.
23:25Corey's had his headset stripped off in the fray.
23:29And finally, the bell rings.
23:30And finally, we got a match underway.
23:33The Reed and Reigns fight.
23:34And then, of course, the brawl.
23:36In our main event.
23:36The bell ringing moments ago to make it official.
23:39His opponent.
23:40And what LA Knight's doing here is sending a message.
23:42This is a man on a mission.
23:44Oh, it's been a long time coming.
23:45An opportunity.
23:47And now Breaker.
23:47Oh, oh, oh.
23:48Just like that.
23:49Changes the complexion.
23:51He's got that situation brewing with.
23:53It's one half of the 100.
23:55He's not forgotten that.
23:56And that one will knock Breaker down.
24:01Side rush and legs.
24:02We didn't get all of it.
24:03And Breaker sent over the top rope to the floor.
24:06Here comes Knight.
24:07Knight driving Breaker.
24:09Notice he's not worried about catchphrases and being clever.
24:12Every opportunity that he has.
24:14And Knight driven.
24:15Shoulder first to the post.
24:16Breaker into the corner.
24:17Nobody home.
24:17LA Knight with a net.
24:19Oh, went for the net.
24:20Breaker and Breaker.
24:20Now, look at that.
24:22So smooth.
24:23So fluid.
24:24And there it is.
24:24A kick out by Knight at two.
24:27Oh.
24:27And LA Knight turn it into a DDT.
24:30Nice right hand by Breaker.
24:33LA Knight.
24:33LA Knight building up momentum now.
24:35And down goes Breaker.
24:37Perhaps losing his counter by Breaker.
24:39Oh, my God.
24:40Oh, my God.
24:41Terrifying power.
24:42Oh.
24:43Possessed.
24:43Breaker is over the clothesline.
24:45You know, Breaker is really becoming more close as well in the vision.
24:48Cut through him like a hot knife through butter.
24:50Oh.
24:52LA Knight heading to Sunday.
24:53And a kick out at two.
24:54If there is one potential.
24:56Now, it's LA Knight.
24:57And LA Knight with a superplex.
25:00Yeah.
25:01Top rope elbow.
25:04Aggressive and focused as we may have ever seen.
25:06Damn it.
25:07Of course.
25:08His prized pupil in trouble.
25:10I mean, it's Seth Rollins.
25:12He's sweating.
25:13And now Breaker.
25:14Oh.
25:15And just like that, Rollins turns the table.
25:18Yeah.
25:19Light almost split in half.
25:21He stays covered.
25:22And it's over.
25:27Main event, Jey Uso.
25:29March into the ring.
25:29Not so much to help LA Knight, but to...
25:31And Rollins runs into a superkick.
25:38Main event, Jey Uso.
25:40Rollins taking advantage.
25:41Kick to the midsection.
25:43Rollins looking for a pedigree to Uso.
25:45And Rollins and Breaker want to do more damage.
25:49Control.
25:54But I mean, Punk in the aisle.
25:56And Punk has come to fight.
25:59And now Breaker driven into the...
26:01Punk turns his attention to his arch nemesis.
26:04Here we go!
26:05Punk and Rollins now with Shaggy blows.
26:08CF Punk looking to take his pound of flesh.
26:15You alright?
26:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:24Look, look.
26:25Now we're imploding.
26:27Oh, no.
26:30The GTS superkick from Jey tonight.
26:33No one's gonna do it for you, J. You're all on your own in Paris.
