00:00:00It's always the New Day
00:00:08While in the absence of Corey Greaves tonight
00:00:12Michael Cole say hello to bombed out Barrett
00:00:30The following is a six man tag team match Kendall for one fall
00:00:41Introducing first the team of Grayson Waller
00:00:46And in tag team partners Xavier Woods
00:00:50Kofi Kingston the New Day
00:00:54So Big G, Grayson Waller's been trying to weasel his way into the New Day's group
00:00:59For weeks now and finally
00:01:03He finally has an opportunity to team with Xavier and Kofi here tonight
00:01:07And prove his worth
00:01:09Well they should rename them the new G'day
00:01:11Because they're going to be in six man tag team action next
00:01:15Have you been in the joke book all day?
00:01:17You love it Michael Cole
00:01:19They're up against the War Raiders and Penta and it's coming up next
00:01:29We also understand that later on tonight
00:01:39The New Day is going to have a funeral
00:01:43The tag team division
00:01:45Well it's a sad lament
00:01:47The demise of a once great division caused by
00:01:51Tyranny
00:01:53From the GM of Raw Adam Pearce
00:01:57Boy you're so y'all smell y'all sure do smell like some feet and some spoiled milk around here
00:02:13My God
00:02:15Do you understand that the only reason that we came to Paris
00:02:19Was to debut a very important special video broadcast to the entire world
00:02:27And that bald headed tyrant Adam Pearce has forced us into a match against our will
00:02:33Hey and Penta is just like all you French losers
00:02:35He got no friends
00:02:37So Principal Pearce has gone out and got the only two men who smell more like fromage than all of you
00:02:47Now considering that this is the absolute worst wrestling crowd on the planet
00:02:53You don't have the stamina like we do in America
00:02:59I guarantee you
00:03:01I guarantee you
00:03:03BG

00:03:09You got BG
00:03:11They're talking about the guy that doesn't come to work anymore
00:03:15So what we don't want to hear
00:03:17Is any one of you idiots chanting New Day sucks
00:03:23It's disrespectful and we're here to work

00:03:39You get hot for a second and you fizzle out just like you did

00:08:23they've met
00:08:23over a dozen times
00:08:25in their career

00:08:28it was the last time these two teams met
00:08:30when they battle over the world tag team titles
00:08:33yeah lost the tags out to the new day at wrestlemania 41 and
00:08:38much of their chagrin never got a rematch
00:08:42and of course the new day have now lost those titles
00:08:44so that has rankled with the war raiders ever since
00:08:48as they're rocking their new raw is war t-shirts
00:08:52they are ready for war tonight
00:08:54they did have a rematch i just mentioned it in may
00:08:57but for the gold yes yes
00:08:58well i spoke to them earlier and they claimed they absolutely did not get a rematch for the title
00:09:02michael okay do you research properly please
00:09:05jeez
00:09:07i'll tell you this right now
00:09:11penta has
00:09:13as you mentioned has had numerous issues with the new day and of course
00:09:17big g himself have played
00:09:19he goes way back with the war raiders
00:09:22they used to compete all over mexico and around the world
00:09:24called him a pair of friends when he most needed the backup
00:09:29xavier wood starts things off with penta
00:09:31here tonight in the six-man tag match
00:09:33and listen xavier woods asked for this he said the france
00:09:40crowd here in france couldn't keep up with him throughout this entire matchup
00:09:44he also said they smell like feet
00:09:46said a lot of things he's really angered this parisian crowd
00:09:50we're on the verge of a riot
00:09:51and grayson waller
00:09:53and now kofi kingston
00:09:55launched over the top rope to the apron
00:09:57and oh what a shot by ivan
00:09:59oh this is going horrifically wrong for the new g'day
00:10:02right off the bat
00:10:03right regroup get to the floor get out of the way though
00:10:08oh and eric
00:10:10what a forearm
00:10:12and a bowling ball from ivan
00:10:14crimes against humanity being committed right here
00:10:20against big g of the new day
00:10:22penta from the top
00:10:24wipe it out everybody
00:10:25oh and eric it is electric here in paris tonight over 23 000 and penta and lorraine
00:10:46it is electric here in paris tonight over 23 000 and penta and the war raiders are
00:10:56doing penta's little dance together strut i guess you would call it yeah it didn't look right when
00:11:01the war raiders did it i'm not gonna lie they're a little too big for that you've got to be a
00:11:04little dainty on your feet like penta is and i know for a fact michael cole you've been practicing
00:11:11that strut at home in the mirror and i bet it looks horrific i tried it too eric and xavier woods on the
00:11:20apron xavier trying to crawl to the corner and make a tag again the first time tonight that
00:11:31grayson wallers teamed up with kofi kingston xavier woods oh goodness oh my god
00:11:39xavier woods no clue where he's at you feel that could have ended the match right there spinning
00:11:45forearm clubbing the jaw of xavier woods who is now running on fumes here but surprisingly still on
00:11:53it's all cheap shot yeah cheap shot by big g big g langston himself a massive upgrade for the new
00:12:00day oh okay tag made here comes waller and waller with an elbow tag now to kofi kingston frequent tags
00:12:09coming from the new day do we call the new day now all three of them the new good day oh that's right
00:12:15i don't know if grayson waller is an official member i would say if they are victorious tonight surely he's
00:12:21going to become a full-blooded member of the new day kofi kingston cover now kick out by eric at
00:12:29one
00:12:30interesting last week in england
00:12:42grayson waller got 26 signatures on a petition to ban the mexican destroyer 26 wow
00:12:52that is a lot of signatures nice take down by kingston i assume three of them with it from the new day
00:12:59guys yeah of course i know greaves graves signed one well if it had come to me i'd have signed it too
00:13:05that would have been 27 that might have hit the balance kofi kingston out top rope eric back to his feet
00:13:10looking to make a tag and kofi now down goes eric kingston cover every jessica car perfect position in a
00:13:18near fall kick out at two and as much as we love mocking the new day and people have a laugh at their
00:13:23expense because of their more recent attitude let's not forget they are genuinely one of the most
00:13:28accomplished tag teams of all time and it's showing now with this devastation they are wreaking
00:13:33the new day along with grayson waller have taken over the six-man tag team match up against the war raiders
00:13:51and penta here tonight on raw absolutely took it at this point oh stop to the back of eric eric landing head first against the mat and the strut
00:14:04the strut taunting penta perhaps would have been best advised to put eric at that moment yeah eric
00:14:14knocked down again now woods is gonna go into the cover hook the leg and a kick out by eric at two
00:14:19now you see the panic on ivar's face realizing his partner is in real trouble at this one oh and a cheap
00:14:25shot by woods well i think so i think penta said something snide in the ear man eric as physical as
00:14:34they come that one knee stopped any and all momentum for the new day yeah tag out as quickly as you can
00:14:40and oh no here's the tag big ivar is legal yeah good luck big g because as wade said big ivar has come to
00:14:48play they don't come much bigger than this man but he moves like a lightweight hits like a heavyweight
00:14:56there's that oh wicked cross body that's 330 pounds crushing your chest
00:15:07copia thank god he's quick sit down splat
00:15:13uh-oh nobody home smartly moving out the way there was grayson waller who was in
00:15:17big trouble if that connected but now it's waller scrambling for that tag looking over the shoulder
00:15:24of penta needs to make a tag to ivar waller gets to woods lately laid out and penta is legal
00:15:32and penta gonna pick up the pace get right to the back of the leg sling blade
00:15:39oh ddt by penta so resourceful able to change his plans in a split second and launch devastating attacks
00:15:54woods uh might have a collapse long
00:16:02breathtaking offense might have done it here and a kick out at two
00:16:08how inventive can one superstar be he's blown mind since arriving here on raw continues to do so on a weekly basis
00:16:17yeah hoisting woods up and xavier with a couple of well-placed elbows
00:16:24that stuff up in zaguri penta toward the corner it allows eric to make a tag nobody in uh woods's
00:16:29corner eric's taking a hell of a beat and i don't know how sharp he can be even with those couple of
00:16:34many recovery he just had face first goes eric waller now he is the oh legal man there's that rolling
00:16:42flat liner kingston top rope what a well-oiled machine new day and grace and waller are looking
00:16:49light splash to the back cover penta breaking things up
00:16:57missed with a big right hand it's breaking down in a big way referee losing control here nice knee and
00:17:03went for another one but ivar just picked him out of midair and on a spin kick
00:17:07taking the head off the shoulders of grace and waller who might be down for the count now pdt by woods
00:17:19head but to the bicep that's new but highly effective here would scream
00:17:25tell your bicep right off the bone with something like that you might want to turn around xavier
00:17:30didn't see the tag at all i don't think double team coming from the war raiders oh god oh goodness
00:17:36woods i don't even know how he can function knee landed right on the forehead of woods right
00:17:42mexican destroyer
00:17:54here are your winners the team of the war raiders and penta
00:18:02well he should have worked harder on the petition to ban the mexican destroyer because well ban the
00:18:06fallout too because that was utterly devastating from the war raiders the one two whammy so we
00:18:12understand that later tonight there's some sort of funeral for the tag division from the new day
00:18:16they might have a kind of a funeral for themselves well this is that fallout that was awkwardly landed
00:18:22but highly effective and there you go the double whammy the mexican destroyer that should be illegal
00:18:28gets the win for penta and the war raiders and this place now in raptures for this trio
00:18:35more complaints to be had from the new day no doubt let's head back to the locker room area and kathy kelly
00:18:44yeah thanks so much michael cole i am here with ria ripley and ria good to see you as always now
00:18:53i'm sure you've heard the news that at wrestlepalooza it'll be stephanie vaccare versus eosky for that
00:18:59women's world championship it's no secret that you've been getting closer to eosky over recent months
00:19:06so do you fear that that dynamic complicates your own championship ambitions honestly i respect both
00:19:14io and stephanie i really do and i think that they deserve this match but i've never taken my eye off
00:19:21the prize so whoever wins i just want them to know that i'm going to do whatever it takes to earn
00:19:26a championship shot well speaking of your friendship with io her other friends the kabuki warriors it
00:19:33feels like there's been some escalating tension between all of them and excuse us
00:19:42you don't want title much before you even wins asuka stop look i don't know why you have a problem with
00:19:53me i really don't but yes of course i want to be champion just like everyone else does this has
00:20:00nothing to do with my friendship with io you are not friends stay away
00:20:07look i've been trying to play nice for eos sake but don't push me

00:21:03One-on-one, get up through the times
00:21:06Get up, make it north, keep you up, keep you calm
00:21:09Go, go, go, go
00:21:33The phenomenal AJ Styles
00:21:47Wants to finally shut up
00:21:50Dirty Dominic Mysterio
00:21:52Once and for all tonight
00:21:54For me it's a travesty
00:22:01But AJ Styles even has this opportunity
00:22:05I feel like Dirty Dog did his business at SummerSlam
00:22:09Should have moved on to the back of the line with AJ Styles
00:22:13But haunting him
00:22:14Is the phenomenal one who simply will not let off his pursuit
00:22:20Of the Intercontinental Championship
00:22:22Well, AJ Styles admitted that at SummerSlam he got outplayed
00:22:26He got outmaneuvered by Dirty Dog
00:22:28He just got plain beat
00:22:30And he says it's not going to happen again
00:22:32He's ready this time around
00:22:34The End
00:22:39Dirty Dog
00:22:45He's ready this time around
00:29:49I said I'd let you know.
00:29:51That's it.
00:29:52That's all you got?
00:29:53That's what I got.
00:29:54What?
00:29:56Come on.
00:29:56Okay.
00:29:58All I know is I need to get back in the ring.
00:30:00Oh, I better know how this is going.
00:30:02Give me one of those guys.
00:30:03Give me judgment day.
00:30:04Which one?
00:30:04I don't care who it is.
00:30:05You decide.
00:30:06Really?
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07Either one.
00:30:07I think I can make that happen.
00:30:08I think I can make that happen for you.
00:30:09I think I can make that happen for you.
00:30:09I think I can make that happen for you.
00:30:09Next week?
00:30:10Sure.
00:30:10Welcome back.
00:30:12Okay, great.
00:30:13Awesome.
00:30:13I want to remind everyone that coming your way a week from Friday, it is Worlds Collide.
00:30:30This man here, Dominic Mysterio, will be heavily involved in that as he gets set to defend
00:30:35his Intercontinental Championship tonight.
00:30:49So, Wade, it could be a great couple of weeks or an awful couple of weeks for Dirty Dom.
00:30:55He defends the Intercontinental title tonight against AJ Styles.
00:30:58And in a week from Friday in Las Vegas, it is Worlds Collide, where Dominic Mysterio takes
00:31:04on Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship.
00:31:08Beast or famine, perhaps, for Dominic Mysterio.
00:31:11Oh, you're such a glass half-empty kind of guy, aren't you?
00:31:15Why don't you feel positive for once in your life?
00:31:17I know you've always been a hater when it comes to Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:31:21This man, over the next two weeks, is going to be clad in gold.
00:31:26And he's going to prove to the world, not only that he is the greatest intercontinental
00:31:31champion of all time, including even me, he's going to prove that he is the greatest
00:31:37luchador of all time by capturing AAA gold.
00:31:41Well, you have to wonder if Dom's a bit concerned tonight, because J.D.
00:31:46McDonough and Finn Balor have been barred from ringside by General Manager Adam Pearce.
00:31:51The tyrant, General Manager Adam Pearce, has an absolutely scandalous decision once again
00:31:58from a corrupt GM.
00:31:59Let's head up to the great Alicia Taylor.
00:32:01The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:32:18Introducing first, the challenger, from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in for 220 pounds,
00:32:33the phenomenal H.J. Styles!
00:32:39All right, Dominic Mysterio attacking Styles from behind as he was soaking it in from
00:33:06the crowd here in Paris, and I'll tell you one thing, Wade, that was a great move by
00:33:11Dominic Mysterio to take A.J. out of the moment, take advantage before the match even started.
00:33:17Yeah, and just like Dirty Dom, I was absolutely sick of hearing that ridiculous song from this
00:33:23French crowd, and finally it stopped, so thank you, Dirty Dom!
00:33:28Well, three birds with one stone.
00:33:30The official, Sean Bennett calling for the bell, matchup's underway for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:33:35And again, so wise beyond his years, Dominic Mysterio realizing, I have an opportunity here
00:33:40to get the upper hand in this match and take the crowd out of it!
00:33:43Yeah, you have to do that against someone as good as A.J. Styles.
00:33:46The reason they've been going so pedophilous for the past 10 minutes over A.J.
00:33:51is because he's that bloody good, and he's proved it over the past 20-plus years.
00:33:55And off the dropkick, Dominic Mysterio rolls to the outside.
00:33:58He has the advantage tonight, because Styles has to pinter-submit the Intercontinental Champion
00:34:03to win the title.
00:34:06A.J. looking to win the second Intercontinental Championship of his career!
00:34:10And Dominic bounced right off our announce table by A.J. Styles, who did not take too kindly
00:34:28to the way that Dominic Mysterio started this matchup tonight.
00:34:32Apparently did not take too kindly to our monitors either, because he's already broken them.
00:34:36Well, they're back.
00:34:37I fixed them.
00:34:39A lot of skills.
00:34:39Electrician, too.
00:34:41Not only a world-class commentator.
00:34:43Maybe you should learn how to use your cough button.
00:34:47And A.J. Styles now in pursuit of Dominic Mysterio looking to wander away, but Styles is
00:34:51not going to let that happen.
00:34:53A.J. Styles, remember, Wade has had a lot of success in Europe.
00:34:56He was the first man in the history of WWE to win the WWE Championship outside of North America.
00:35:04A lot of success in Europe, but a lack of success against Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:35:11Will that change tonight?
00:35:13You know, it was interesting watching the WWE fans and how they treated A.J. Styles here
00:35:17tonight in Paris.
00:35:18Reminded me of last year.
00:35:20Backlash in Lyon.
00:35:21That great match with Cody Rhodes and the WWE fans serenaded him all night long.
00:35:27Yeah, well-deserved.
00:35:29Oh, superb there.
00:35:31Nice twist in Nightbreaker on the rope from Dirty Dom.
00:35:36Just shows how ingenious Dirty Dom is.
00:35:38He takes what is available.
00:35:40There's four situations.
00:35:42You know, we've talked a lot about the maturation of Dominic Mysterio over the past couple of years.
00:35:48Here's a man who hasn't lost a one-on-one matchup since just before WrestleMania.
00:35:56I think my favorite thing that has happened in the year 2025 is that Michael Cole has finally changed his tune about...
00:36:04Oh, my God!
00:36:06Styles whipped into the timekeeper's area.
00:36:08And again, Wade, I've said this on occasion, I don't like his attitude.
00:36:13I don't like the way that he behaves.
00:36:15I think he's a stuck-up, smug kid.
00:36:16But at the end of the day, Dominic Mysterio has turned into one hell of a performer.
00:36:21Absolutely devastating.
00:36:23And right now is wrecking the body of A.J. Styles.
00:36:27A.J. Styles is looking like true carnage victim.
00:36:31And the end may be nigh if it carries on like this.
00:36:34And now, Dirty Dom is just getting started here.
00:36:37And again, if you're Dominic Mysterio, what a big opportunity here tonight.
00:36:41Win the match versus A.J. Styles.
00:36:43A lot of people question the way he won controversially at SummerSlam.
00:36:46But you win tonight without Finn and J.D. out here.
00:36:49You do it on your own.
00:36:50I mean, that's massive.
00:36:51When you think about the beef that has been brewing between Dirty Dom and Finn Balor,
00:36:57there's been that tension.
00:36:58Who's the leader of the Judgment Day?
00:37:00Who's really running things here?
00:37:01When you come out here and you put down someone like A.J. Styles and it has to rank even more with Finn Balor.
00:37:18Dominic Mysterio defending the Intercontinental Championship against A.J. Styles here live in Paris, France.
00:37:24I was doing a little bit of research, Wade.
00:37:26Do you realize this is only the second time that the Intercontinental Championship has been defended in France?
00:37:35It happened back in 1993, live on French television, when Shawn Michaels beat Bob Backlund.
00:37:42The only time the Intercontinental Championship has been defended here in France before tonight.
00:37:49Absolutely incredible stat.
00:37:51But right now, this could be a very short defense because, let's face it,
00:37:55apart from that initial flurry from A.J. Styles where he got a couple of shots in,
00:37:59he's had nothing ever since.
00:38:02This has been a masterclass.
00:38:04This is the fourth time that these two men have gone one-on-one.
00:38:08Mysterio, cover, hook for the leg, and Styles kicks out.
00:38:12Dominic actually holds the edge in the series.
00:38:17That does not surprise anybody who has been paying attention to the burgeoning skill set of dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:38:28A.J. coming off a...
00:38:30See, this is where Dominic gets a bit carried away, getting a bit cocky now, mocking A.J.
00:38:34He's doing it for the ladies, he's shown up, we're in the city of love,
00:38:37and this man has limitless sex appeal.
00:38:42Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
00:38:45What?
00:38:46That's what the ladies are saying to Dirty Don, I think.
00:38:48I'm reading their lips.
00:38:50Come on, A.J.
00:38:52Stopped Dominic in his tracks, and the phenomenal A.J. Styles trying to rally back.
00:38:56Oh, it turns Dom inside out.
00:38:59And there's that sliding forearm by Styles.
00:39:02This is always the risk with some of the caliber of A.J. Styles.
00:39:06It's never over.
00:39:08Splash in the corner.
00:39:11Oh, and a...
00:39:13Knee right to the back of the head, cover by Styles.
00:39:17Hooks the inside leg, and Dominic gets the shoulder up.
00:39:20A.J. looking at what has already been a 133-day reign as champion.
00:39:26Remember, Dominic won the Intercontinental title,
00:39:29and a shocker to many back at WrestleMania in a fatal four-way match
00:39:33where he actually pinned his Judgment Day brother, Finn Balor.
00:39:38Look at the mindset of the veteran and that lesser-experienced Dirty Don.
00:39:42With Dirty Don having taken 90% of the early goings here,
00:39:45it can really crush the psyche of Dirty Don when a fact keeps firing back like this.
00:39:51Yeah, Styles.
00:39:53Launched himself up over the top rope,
00:39:55and Dominic Gasterio with a kick caught him.
00:39:57And now Dom...
00:39:59sends Styles to the floor!
00:40:02Oh, my God.
00:40:03Two things there.
00:40:03First of all, the footwork of Dirty Don moving out of the way of that forearm
00:40:07was absolutely magnificent.
00:40:09And then to follow it up with the Lucha moves,
00:40:12the caliber of which very few can match,
00:40:15tells you exactly why Dirty Don is gonna be the GOAT.
00:40:21Could be well on his way.
00:40:23There's no doubt about that.
00:40:24I mean, you think everything he's achieved so far,
00:40:26there's simply no slowing down.
00:40:28He's getting better and better and better every single weekend.
00:40:32Iron sharpens iron.
00:40:33You can't help but get better when you take it on AJ Styles.
00:40:36Oh, my God.
00:40:36And a baseball slide by Dominic.
00:40:38A little whiplash to the neck of AJ Styles on that one,
00:40:42who has no clue where he's at right now.
00:40:47Don went for the kick, caught by Styles.
00:40:49AJ now dumping Dominic out of the front channel's table
00:40:53as he collapses to the floor.
00:40:57Remember, Dom's got the champ's advantage.
00:41:00AJ's got to get him back in the ring.
00:41:08AJ Styles.
00:41:17AJ Styles.
00:41:18AJ Styles.
00:41:18AJ Styles.
00:41:19AJ Styles.
00:41:20AJ Styles.
00:41:21AJ Styles.
00:41:21AJ Styles.
00:41:22The referee came out here,
00:41:23checked on both competitors.
00:41:26Both want to continue,
00:41:28despite the devastation that were inside,
00:41:30but the count is now climbing.
00:41:31Yeah, but again, remember,
00:41:33AJ's got a pin or submit, Dom, in the ring.
00:41:35Countouts mean nothing for AJ Styles.
00:41:38But AJ can barely walk at the moment.
00:41:41First of all, focus on your own health,
00:41:43then start worrying about the title.
00:41:45Referee just reminded AJ,
00:41:46hey, you ain't gonna win the title on a count out, pal.
00:41:49Well, AJ Styles, of course,
00:41:50Wade has talked a lot about this the last few months,
00:41:53how much longer he has in a WWE ring.
00:41:56It would be so sweet if he could win the gold here tonight.
00:41:59The sands of time are falling on the career of AJ,
00:42:02and it may well be the final opportunity he gets
00:42:06to add to that massive trophy cabinet of his
00:42:09built up over the past 25-plus years.
00:42:12Ooh!
00:42:13We got quite the six weeks coming up, don't we?
00:42:17Wrestlepalooza, the debut in the States on ESPN,
00:42:20internationally on Netflix two weeks from Saturday.
00:42:23Then we head to Australia early October
00:42:25for TakeOver Perth, SmackDown, Crown Jewel, and Raw.
00:42:30Well, you've got it all figured out,
00:42:31because I'm taking it one day at a time right now.
00:42:33It's gonna be a busy few weeks, but what a great time
00:42:38to be a WWE fan.
00:42:44Yeah, I'm flying in your private jet, Michael Kyle.
00:42:46It's a reminder.
00:42:48Now, Dominic and AJ Styles high above the ring.
00:42:51AJ face first, and every time AJ starts to rally here,
00:42:55Wade, Dominic just beats him to the punch.
00:42:57Well, Dominic has front stacked the offense in this one.
00:43:00AJ's body is not cooperating, but right now,
00:43:03after that landing...
00:43:06Dominic's body may not cooperate.
00:43:09Liv Morgan will not be impressed by that whatsoever.
00:43:12Count them, Dom.
00:43:14They're both still there.
00:43:15You're good to go.
00:43:16Oh!
00:43:16Oh!
00:43:17Oh!
00:43:17Oh!
00:43:17Oh!
00:43:18Oh!
00:43:19Oh!
00:43:19Oh!
00:43:20Oh!
00:43:20Oh!
00:43:21Oh!
00:43:22Oh!
00:43:23AJ Styles and Dominic Mysterio battling for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:43:42DDT by Dom!
00:43:43And AJ just hasn't been able to get anything really going in this match since Dom started
00:43:48things off before the bell.
00:43:49Yeah, really wore AJ down in those first few minutes of the matchup.
00:43:53And the lower back of AJ Styles is really bothering him at this point.
00:43:57Every time he tries to grab momentum, it gets taken away.
00:44:00Look at this Tornado DDT from the second that partially KO'd AJ Styles,
00:44:07although he's starting to get his bearings back now.
00:44:10Yeah, the 23,000 here tonight in Paris have been trying to...
00:44:14Will AJ Styles on?
00:44:16Get him back into this fight.
00:44:18And perhaps it's beginning to work.
00:44:19Styles with Dominic up.
00:44:21Dominic, though...
00:44:21Oh, goodness!
00:44:22Neckbreaker by Styles.
00:44:24Cover for the championship.
00:44:26And a kick out at two as Dominic gets the shoulder up.
00:44:29Well, AJ Styles has had the biggest reaction of anyone thus far this evening
00:44:36from this Parisian crowd,
00:44:38and it's really what's driving the phenomenal one so far.
00:44:41He's got Buster there.
00:44:43Cover.
00:44:45Dominic's got to get the shoulder up again.
00:44:47Referee Sean Bennett with a count of two.
00:44:49But you see the issue AJ is having.
00:44:51He lands one of these big moves,
00:44:53and now he's immediately wincing, grimacing,
00:44:56grabbing that lower back, not able to turn it up.
00:44:59Not able to drop the hammer on a Dirty Dom,
00:45:02who might be in big trouble here.
00:45:06Styles with Dom up.
00:45:07Maybe going for the Styles Clash.
00:45:08Dominic Mysterio trying to counter.
00:45:11And he does!
00:45:12And Dominic calls that the mullet-o-matic.
00:45:15It almost picked up the win with it.
00:45:17Well, it's a great name.
00:45:18It's a great move,
00:45:19and it almost grabbed victory
00:45:21and a successful retention for Dirty Dom.
00:45:23But once again,
00:45:25the expanding skill set of Dirty Dom
00:45:28got out of a massive danger,
00:45:31was almost put away by AJ
00:45:32and converted it into an offensive attack.
00:45:34You saw Styles attempting to go to the Styles Clash.
00:45:37How cool was it last night
00:45:38to see John Cena paying homage to AJ
00:45:41hitting the Styles Clash
00:45:42in that great match with Logan Paul.
00:45:44One of John Cena's greatest match
00:45:45for the opponents,
00:45:46and oh my God!
00:45:48Lower back first into that middle turnbuckle,
00:45:51and perhaps now it's Dirty Dom
00:45:53who's going to have the lumbar spine issues.
00:45:55Watch this.
00:45:58AJ pop in the hips,
00:45:59and Dominic Mysterio made him pay.
00:46:06And now,
00:46:08the fans in France
00:46:09starting to feel a momentum shift.
00:46:13The people believe,
00:46:15but Dirty Dom is ready to shut this down.
00:46:19Nice kick to the back of the head.
00:46:21Dominic Mysterio not allowing AJ
00:46:22to get any sort of rally going
00:46:24as he drives AJ,
00:46:26shoulder first to the post.
00:46:28AJ's taken such a beating.
00:46:30He's simply looking sluggish.
00:46:31It's not what you're used to from the...
00:46:33Oh!
00:46:33The Jinoku driver!
00:46:35Cover!
00:46:37Styles kicks out!
00:46:40I mean,
00:46:40a testament to the durability of AJ Styles
00:46:43after the beating he's taken.
00:46:45Executed perfectly once again
00:46:47by Dirty Dom,
00:46:49who is blowing minds with this performance.
00:46:52And let's not forget,
00:46:53and he's doing it alone.
00:46:55Judgment Day banned from ringside.
00:46:58Now calling for the three amigos,
00:47:00of course,
00:47:01made famous by the late great Eddie Guerrero.
00:47:04And Mysterio again!
00:47:07Can he do it a third time to Styles?
00:47:09And he does!
00:47:10Nobody has ever done it better than Dirty Dom!
00:47:15The modern day Eddie Guerrero!
00:47:18Nonetheless,
00:47:18Dominic Mysterio,
00:47:20top rope,
00:47:20frog splash,
00:47:21come in,
00:47:22connecting,
00:47:23to retain the championship!
00:47:25One, two,
00:47:26AJ at two and a half!
00:47:29Dominic has been putting on a clinic tonight,
00:47:32but AJ Styles is still in the fight.
00:47:35Well, right there,
00:47:37Dirty Dom hit everything,
00:47:38and he hit it on the bullseye.
00:47:41That should be victory.
00:47:43That is the class,
00:47:44the caliber,
00:47:45the quality of AJ Styles,
00:47:48and the frustration must be building
00:47:50in Dirty Dom,
00:47:51who should have been home and dry by now.
00:47:53We saw Sami Zayn
00:47:54win the United States Championship
00:47:55Friday night on SmackDown
00:47:57from Solo Sokoa.
00:47:58AJ Styles would love to win
00:48:00the Intercontinental title tonight
00:48:01from Dominic,
00:48:02and Styles now,
00:48:03with a Styles Clash coming!
00:48:04Styles Clash!
00:48:06Dominic grabs the rope,
00:48:07AJ says,
00:48:08no, not that way!
00:48:12And Dom's got his boot on the rope!
00:48:15Great ring presence by the champ!
00:48:17I have no idea
00:48:19if Dirty Dom had any clue about that.
00:48:21Certainly the hand landing on the rope initially
00:48:24was fortuitous,
00:48:25the second one,
00:48:26the fourth.
00:48:27I think AJ might have just over-rotated the pin.
00:48:33Oh, goodness!
00:48:34God, bloody Sunday Brain Buster!
00:48:38Dominic landing
00:48:42right on the top of his head!
00:48:44Right on the crown!
00:48:46And you know exactly
00:48:47what AJ's cooking up here, Cole!
00:48:50AJ Styles
00:48:51looking to deliver
00:48:52the phenomenal forearm
00:48:53if Dom makes it back to his feet!
00:48:56Oh, my God!
00:48:57El Grande!
00:48:58Americano!
00:49:00And he's loved the mask
00:49:01with a damn metal plate!
00:49:03Headbutt!
00:49:04Dominic Mysterio!
00:49:09He was distracting the referee!
00:49:12Just as AJ was about to launch
00:49:15the phenomenal forearm,
00:49:17a friendly luchador appears!
00:49:20And now Dominic
00:49:23after being dropped on his head
00:49:25trying to make it to the top rope!
00:49:27AJ's out!
00:49:28Out to the headbutt!
00:49:29Frog splash from Dirty Dom!
00:49:31Hook of the leg!
00:49:33Dominic Mysterio retains!
00:49:34Here is your winner
00:49:39and still
00:49:40the Intercontinental Champion
00:49:43Tony
00:49:44Dom Runderc
00:49:46Mysterio!
00:49:49So, Wade, that's what
00:49:50Dom's been cooking up with
00:49:51El Grande Americano
00:49:53these last couple of weeks
00:49:55in these secret talks
00:49:57we've been seeing him have.
00:49:58Well, you wouldn't understand
00:49:59anything about having friends,
00:50:01Michael Cole,
00:50:02but it pays their friends
00:50:03in this game
00:50:04but this was where
00:50:05AJ Styles thought
00:50:06he was putting it to bed
00:50:07a bloody Sunday
00:50:09brain buster
00:50:11and just as he was going
00:50:13for the phenomenal forearm
00:50:14from under the ring
00:50:16apparently
00:50:16and with the loaded headbutt
00:50:20El Grande Americano
00:50:22right to the chest
00:50:24of AJ Styles

00:50:27frog splash

00:52:34my way!

00:53:07to Che!
00:53:08Roman hasn't moved!
00:53:10Somebody's gotta get

00:53:12All I can say is
00:53:37good luck to L.A. Knight
00:53:38and J. Uso
00:53:39who have those two
00:53:40monsters in our main event
00:53:41in just a matter of moments.
00:53:43A couple of injury updates
00:53:44now to get to you
00:53:45here tonight.
00:53:45Let's start with
00:53:46Paul Heyman
00:53:46who of course
00:53:47was the guillotine
00:53:48and choked out
00:53:48by Roman Reigns.
00:53:49He suffers a
00:53:50larynx contusion
00:53:52and that can't be good
00:53:53for a man who makes
00:53:54his living
00:53:54with his vocal cords.
00:53:56And of course
00:53:57Roman Reigns
00:53:57multiple
00:53:59fractured
00:54:00ribs
00:54:01at the hands of
00:54:01Braun Breaker
00:54:02and Bronson Reed.
00:54:03the OTC
00:54:04Roman Reigns
00:54:04is out
00:54:05indefinitely.
00:54:07Let's head back
00:54:08to the locker room area
00:54:09and our
00:54:09Jackie Redman.
00:54:11Paul thank you so much
00:54:12I'm backstage
00:54:13with L.A. Knight.
00:54:15L.A.
00:54:15it is clear
00:54:16things are still
00:54:17very heated
00:54:18between you
00:54:19and J. Uso
00:54:20but after the threat
00:54:21made by Bronson Reed
00:54:22and Braun Breaker
00:54:23earlier tonight
00:54:24the two of you
00:54:25have to team up
00:54:26for tonight's main event.
00:54:28Do you really think
00:54:29you're capable
00:54:31of setting aside
00:54:32your differences
00:54:32and working together?
00:54:34You know
00:54:34considering what I'm
00:54:35thinking right now
00:54:35I gotta tell you
00:54:36is it the best
00:54:38decision for me?
00:54:39Is it the best
00:54:39decision for J. Uso
00:54:40to go out there
00:54:41I'm taped up right now
00:54:42in my shoulder
00:54:43I'm taped up
00:54:43in my leg right now

00:54:48how to quit

00:54:57into these two
