00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and after a weekend of props and crew and Packers and Badgers wins, now the locals get a showcase event in the midst of a wild fan favorite return.
00:00:44What just went down on Friday night is carrying right into this Monday Night Raw.
00:00:53Punk smells blood. He knows it's coming. He knows it's his moment.
00:01:00Oh, my goodness, who the...
00:01:04Becky Lynch!
00:01:07Seth Rollins' wife saved the championship for Rollins!
00:01:16Chicago!
00:01:19Welcome to the big time! I give you the man, Becky Lynch!
00:01:30Oh, classic Chicago. Classic Chicago. I wouldn't expect you to know what greatness looks like.
00:01:40All your teams suck, and CM Punk sucks!
00:01:47I'm surprised you came out here and showed your face. Are you embarrassed?
00:01:52I don't have anything to be embarrassed for, unlike your coward of a husband hiding in a skybox and now hiding behind his wife.
00:02:03I think, I think, what are you gonna do about it, huh?
00:02:08What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Huh?
00:02:10You gonna do something about it?
00:02:13Becky, this is exactly the situation I wanted to avoid, because you know I would never put my hands on a lady.
00:02:21Thankfully, I got somebody who will.
00:02:25A.J. Lee! CM Punk's wife is here!
00:02:38A.J. Lee, after a decade, is back!
00:02:45A.J. Lee, taking it to Becky Lynch!
00:02:49The trailblazer, with a payback to Becky Lynch!
00:02:58Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch gonna want the thing!
00:03:03Welcome back, A.J. Lee!
00:03:06And arriving here in Brew City, the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, the man Becky Lynch.
00:03:19Of course, she's the Intercontinental Champ.
00:03:21But no title in hand. A.J. Lee grabbed it, and for the first time in more than a decade, A.J. Lee returns to Raw tonight,
00:03:28as we're at the Loud and Rockin' Five-Serve Arena, here in Milwaukee.
00:03:41Twelve days until Wrestle Palooza, so much to be determined.
00:03:44For now, recent brotherly love reunion that will blow the roof off any arena will get us started.
00:03:51Orange no sch �ers to go to the
00:03:58for N.J. Lee!
00:03:59Five-Y-I-E-I-Y-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I!
00:04:12What is that?
00:04:14Zero, two, three.
00:04:14Four, three, four, three, four.
00:04:20Oh, together again.
00:04:50It feels like day one all over again, all is right in the world.
00:05:21Jimmy and Jey Uso reunited, making their way toward the ring to kick off Monday Night Raw.
00:05:29No doubt about it, Corey.
00:05:30The family that's been stretched to the limits, challenged, divided.
00:05:33Roman, of course, recently demolished in Paris.
00:05:35But in the end, the twin brothers by each other's side, always having each other's back in moments like this.
00:05:43What a great reception here in Milwaukee.
00:05:46One of the most prolific tag teams in WWE history.
00:05:51Man, this feels good, Joe Test.
00:05:54Great scene here in Milwaukee.
00:05:57The Usos, together again.
00:06:03Of course, this is a football-crazy state.
00:06:19And football season and time of the year when our broadcast assignments switch up just a little bit.
00:06:24Joe Test, we're with you.
00:06:25Wade Barrett on a well-deserved vacation.
00:06:27But the man who does everything in our company is right here.
00:06:30Corey Graves, my man, it is so great to be with you.
00:06:32It's so weird.
00:06:32The internet told me that Wade has been exiled from some faraway island.
00:06:36I'm not really sure what that's about.
00:06:38I'm happy to be here.
00:06:39I'm excited to work alongside you.
00:06:40We get a couple of Ross together.
00:06:42Corey, last week, Jey Uso found himself in a little bit of trouble before Big Jim's arrival.
00:06:46In the wake of an incredible tag team contest with Braun and Braun of the Vision.
00:06:52Picking up the win over L.A. Knight and Jey Uso.
00:06:56But if you thought this would end without extracurricular activities, you were sadly mistaken.
00:07:01L.A. Knight, always defiant, still looking to bring the fight.
00:07:05Nearly speared in half by Breaker.
00:07:09And then Jey Uso crushed under the weight of a tsunami.
00:07:13But when Jey had no one left to turn to, you can always count on family.
00:07:18All right.
00:07:48Right back to it, they wanted it, they're getting it.
00:08:01Hey, Cream City has just turned into Yeet City tonight for Munjay Night Raw.
00:08:22Oh, there's a handoff.
00:08:25That's more your territory, you call it that.
00:08:31I said the Usos are now in your division.
00:08:54Seth Rollins, the Brawnies, the Brawnsons, the Brussos, Braun Breaker, Braun St. Reed.
00:09:13Y'all messed up.
00:09:14You screwed up, Poose.
00:09:16No, the dangerous duo of destruction for the vision.
00:09:32The tribal thief, Bronson Reed, the badass Brawn Breaker.
00:09:37Out here looking for trouble already.
00:09:44They find it so easily week after week.
00:09:47Hey, Reed, look.
00:09:57It's the twins.
00:09:58Hey, Big Jim, you lost, man?
00:10:00This ain't SmackDown.
00:10:03This is Monday Night Raw, Oose.
00:10:07The vision runs Monday Night Raw.
00:10:10The dogs run Monday Night Raw.
00:10:22Man, y'all got some nerve coming out here standing in our ring after what y'all's family did to Paul Heyman.
00:10:31I'm gonna...
00:10:31I'm gonna...
00:10:32I'm gonna...
00:10:32I'm gonna...
00:10:32RUN!
00:10:32Pitch over there!
00:10:37Relax.
00:10:44Not tonight.
00:10:48Not tonight.
00:10:50Tonight, all I want from Roman's family is to acknowledge their tribal...
00:11:01Big Jim, listen to Big Bronson.
00:11:27You were not a factor in Seth Rollins' vision when you were on SmackDown.
00:11:34But now, you're here on Monday.
00:11:37Shut up!
00:11:46We don't need to listen to these people.
00:11:52He's coming back.
00:12:01We already dealt with him.
00:12:03And we're going to deal with you too now, Jimmy.
00:12:06And if you want to know how that goes down, just look at your cousin sitting in the hospital.
00:12:12Hey, how about you shut your mouth when you talk about the OTC?
00:12:19Hey, Braun Breaker, to answer your question, yeah, Big Jim know where I'm at.
00:12:25I'm right here on Monday Night Raw.
00:12:32Hey, you know what?
00:12:34There it is.
00:12:35I'm very happy to be standing in front of the division.
00:12:37Because I do remember Seth J and J Security, but who the hell we got here?
00:12:41More like PBJ and J Security.
00:12:44Hey, we know who you two punks are.
00:12:48Let me remind you who's standing in the ring, Goose.
00:12:50You the twos.
00:12:51And we the...
00:12:53I don't know where irks me more.
00:12:56I don't know where irks me more.
00:12:57Either because you two got the same damn name, or you're over here taking orders from a...
00:13:01Man, what's his name?
00:13:03Paul Heyman?
00:13:04Yo, yo, I got you.
00:13:08You're taking orders from Paul Heyman.
00:13:10A.K.A. The Advocate.
00:13:12A.K.A. The Wise Man.
00:13:14A.K.A. The Orca.
00:13:16He Built Like One.
00:13:17A.K.A.
00:13:18And the word...
00:13:19He is, he is.
00:13:21A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:25Dumbass!
00:13:31I'm gonna...
00:13:32I'm telling you, I'm gonna...
00:13:33Hey, hey, hey.
00:13:34So check this out.
00:13:35Check this out, Milwaukee.
00:13:36They want to come out here and make a name for themselves.
00:13:39Cool!
00:13:40Guess what we did?
00:13:41We went to Adam Pearce.
00:13:42We rapped with him.
00:13:43And guess it?
00:13:44It's Breaker and Big Cam Bronson Reed.
00:13:48At Wrestle Palooza, you're going against the best damn tag team in the game.
00:13:52Jimmy and Jack the Oosso!
00:13:59Hey, but check it out, Milwaukee.
00:14:01We ain't even gotta wait.
00:14:02We getting jiggy right now.
00:14:04Hey, talk to him.
00:14:07No, no, no, no.
00:14:08We can wait.
00:14:10We can wait.
00:14:11Cause we can wait to wrestle Palooza.
00:14:13Not tonight.
00:14:14Milwaukee doesn't get to see this match.
00:14:16Wait a minute.
00:14:17That's LA Knight!
00:14:18Of course, LA Knight has something to say about it.
00:14:20He's got a major issue with Braun and Bronson Corey.
00:14:22Of course, L.A. Knight has something to say about it.
00:14:26He's got a major issue with Braun and Bronson Corey.
00:14:29So much unfinished business for the megastar.
00:14:32The defiant L.A. Knight out here all on his own.
00:14:35Trying to bring the fight to the vision.
00:14:37But L.A. being overwhelmed by these two powerhouses.
00:14:41Yeah, two on one right now.
00:14:43Big Bronson Reed and the badass Braun Breaker after last week's brutal attack.
00:14:48Wait a minute.
00:14:49Whoa, Uso.
00:14:50There you go. Fly it.
00:14:53Big Jim and Main Event Jay bringing the fight to Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker.
00:15:00What an announcement. Wrestlepalooza. Get ready.
00:15:06Each delivering blow after blow to Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:12Reed and Breaker in the unfamiliar position of being outnumbered right now.
00:15:15And here's Breaker back in the midst.
00:15:22Superkick Lance Flush.
00:15:27Big Bronson trying to gather himself.
00:15:29Looking for the BFT.
00:15:31Two.
00:15:32Two.
00:15:33Two.
00:15:33One.
00:15:35Oh, and a moment of hesitation costly.
00:15:37Reed goes flying out of the ring after the superkick from Jimmy.
00:15:55Of course, the recent actions between Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed, the attack a week ago
00:16:02that we showed you, and you can see still a little bit of a communication issue arguing
00:16:10between L.A. Knight and Jey Uso.
00:16:11You know what happened in Paris.
00:16:12There's still plenty of tension between Jey Uso and L.A. Knight.
00:16:15When the World Heavyweight Championship is involved, tension is absolutely everywhere.
00:16:20But let's not gloss over what we just heard.
00:16:23What an announcement for Wrestlepalooza.
00:16:25Wrestlepalooza, you heard it.
00:16:26You're going to have the bronze against the Uso's.
00:16:29That's coming your way September 20th from Indy.
00:16:31Now, we do have a programming note.
00:16:32Raw Netflix, a special start time next week.
00:16:35It'll be 7 p.m. Eastern.
00:16:37Corey, let's take everyone back to last week when Dom Mysterio got a helping hand in defending
00:16:41his IC title.
00:16:42Just when it seemed as though AJ Styles was going to capture the Intercontinental Championship.
00:16:48An unexpected arrival.
00:16:50An unlikely ally for Dirty Dom.
00:16:53El Grande Americano would hit the scene and deliver a headbutt.
00:16:57Boom!
00:16:58Directly to the heart of the Phenomenal One, which would open the door for the King of the
00:17:03Luchadores.
00:17:04Dirty Dom to deliver a frog splash.
00:17:07And still.
00:17:12The following contest is taken full once more.
00:17:34You know, just a week ago, it was that ultimate sing-along in Paris at this moment.
00:17:55As they like to say there, he is truly, he is truly.
00:17:58And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:01It's the phenomenal one coming up against El Grande Americano.
00:18:06That's next, Monday Night Raw on Netflix from here live in Hill Rock.
00:18:31And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:38And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:45And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:50And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:53This is Southern Boys with Obama strength.
00:18:57Ain't nobody man enough to feel the pain.
00:19:00And you compete next.
00:19:02You better get respect.
00:19:03Cause ain't nobody breaking his redneck.
00:19:06No, the hell won't run.
00:19:08No, the hell won't run.
00:19:10Milwaukee, I'm ready to take somebody's head off.
00:19:24Dominic Mysterio got his little buddy that coffee bean Americano to get
00:19:36involved in my match and cost me the Intercontinental Championship.
00:19:41And to be honest with you, it could have been my fault.
00:19:51You see, for the first time in my career, I've got no one watching my back.
00:19:58Gallows, Anderson, they're not here.
00:20:05Meechian, she's on SmackDown.
00:20:11It's like someone orchestrated a way for me not to win anymore,
00:20:17not to have help.
00:20:20I'll let you make your own conclusions.
00:20:25By the way, we are here right now and all over the world.
00:20:31But arrest everybody.
00:20:32This is a commercial break.
00:20:33I'm telling you something that you're probably not supposed to hear.
00:20:37But somebody doesn't want me here.
00:20:40So what we're gonna do is you're gonna beat the piss out of Grande Americano tonight.
00:20:59So that the person that doesn't want me here anymore can feel a little bit of his pain and
00:21:08mine also.
00:21:09Hey, you don't want to miss John Cena's last time in Boston and New York, November 10th, November 17th.
00:21:21And tickets on sale Wednesday, September 10th by way of Ticketmaster.
00:21:38Free sales tomorrow, Tuesday, September 9th.
00:21:42Last time, John Cena in Boston and in New York.
00:21:47That is a hot ticket.
00:21:50How many times are you gonna say?
00:21:51Well, I'm gonna say this many times until you get it done.
00:21:53Please do.
00:21:54Well, why don't you let me go work on it?
00:21:55Yeah, why don't you go work on it?
00:21:56I will handle it.
00:21:58L.A., L.A., we obviously saw what happened out there with the Vision and the Usos.
00:22:01Is it safe to assume that's why you were just arguing?
00:22:03I'll tell you what it's safe to assume.
00:22:04What it's safe to assume is that we're over here talking about what I need,
00:22:07what I want right now.
00:22:08And instead, I'm hearing about, well, there's a tag team match at Wrestlepalooza.
00:22:13It's the Usos.
00:22:14It's the Vision.
00:22:15Yay.
00:22:16Like, I care about their little family reunion.
00:22:18I don't care about that.
00:22:19What I want is what's mine.
00:22:21But first and foremost, Jey Uso out there thinking, what, I threw Bronson Reed into you on
00:22:26purpose?
00:22:27Huh?
00:22:28Are you serious?
00:22:29Really, if you think that I needed to take you out, if that's what you think I would do,
00:22:33I'd do it right to your damn face, my man.
00:22:35This ain't a problem.
00:22:36But if you want to make it a problem, I had a hard man to find.
00:22:38So come on over and find me.
00:22:40What I need, what I want, I want one of the Brons.
00:22:43Give me any of them.
00:22:44That's what I was telling Adam Pearce right now.
00:22:46I said, give me Bronson Reed.
00:22:48I said, give me Bron Breaker.
00:22:49You can give me LeBron James.
00:22:50You can give me Little Bronny.
00:22:51You can give me Charles Bronson.
00:22:53If his name is Bron, I want him in the ring.
00:22:56And I don't care if I win.
00:22:57I don't care if I lose.
00:22:58I just want to take a piece with me and stomp the piss out of him.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:03LA Knight in a fighting mood here tonight on Raw.
00:23:06We're gonna find out if he gets his wish.
00:23:08Joe Corey, back to you guys at ringtone.
00:23:09Thank you, Byron.
00:23:10I don't think anybody had Little Bronny and Charles Bronson mentions on their bingo card of Raw tonight.
00:23:15There must be something in the water here in Melee Law K tonight because AJ Styles just like LA Knight incredibly fired up.
00:23:22And his opponent, from the Gulf of America, weighed in at 202 pounds, El Grande Americano.
00:23:35El Grande Americano has had a lot of success on Monday Night Raw.
00:23:53Of course, this is his return to Raw since winning the tag team match with Dom Mysterio against Styles and Dragon Lee.
00:24:02That was on August 11th.
00:24:03But, of course, what we just showed you earlier is the impact he made when AJ Styles thought he was closing in on taking the Intercontinental Championship.
00:24:12Oh!
00:24:13And you can see how bothered Styles is with that thought.
00:24:16He thought he was closing in on beating Dirty Dom.
00:24:18El Grande Americano head-butted him in the chest, teed things up for Dirty Dom.
00:24:23And now AJ's right on top of him, Corey.
00:24:25Styles eager to take his pound of flesh from El Grande Americano, who has drawn the ire of the Phenomenal One.
00:24:32AJ not waiting for the bell to ring, bringing the fight to the legendary Luchito.
00:24:40Big chop because he had him teed up against that barrier.
00:24:43And a right hand just buckles his knees.
00:24:47Gotta feel a little bad for El Grande Americano, who was competing for Triple-A last night in Mexico.
00:24:52Made the long trip here to Milwaukee, and now he's being outright assaulted by AJ Styles.
00:24:57AJ Styles jumping all over him before this match even gets underway.
00:25:02Joe, I've known AJ for upwards of 20 years.
00:25:05I don't know if I've ever seen this type of fire, this kind of aggression from AJ Styles right now.
00:25:09This is a man on a mission.
00:25:13Gets away from that big right hand.
00:25:15And Pele kick.
00:25:17And Pele kick lands well.
00:25:19And AJ revs the engine right here and sends him back out and over to the outside.
00:25:24And finally, we've got a bell.
00:25:25After all that, we've got a bell, and the match is underway.
00:25:28Cross body to the floor.
00:25:31Right on point, as always, the phenomenal AJ Styles in quite the mood tonight, unfortunately, for El Grande Americano.
00:25:43And Corey, I just can't help but think, when you're sitting there, and you're trying to line up the phenomenal forearm, you think you've got it in the grasp of your hand, and all of a sudden the match goes south the other way after you were chasing Dirty Dom for all those weeks.
00:25:56AJ Styles certainly understands the emotions that come with success and failure here in WWE and around the wrestling world.
00:26:03And right now, Styles is using that frustration as motivation to lay a beat down on El Grande Americano.
00:26:10Mention the success that Americano has had.
00:26:12Boom!
00:26:13Oh!
00:26:14Oh, he may be lining it up right away here, Corey.
00:26:17Not sure if there's a problem with Americano.
00:26:19Wait!
00:26:20What in the world?
00:26:22Another luchador, but...
00:26:25Dos Grande!
00:26:27The other Americano.
00:26:29Well, how's AJ Styles supposed to compete with two?
00:26:33Oh, man!
00:26:34Oh, man!
00:26:35Oh, man!
00:26:36Did you see the way he went flying over the steel steps?
00:26:39His entire body just got sent up and over as his knee crashed into the steel steps.
00:26:46With a little help, El Grande Americano and Dos.
00:27:03It wasn't long ago that fans were shocked when another luchador came out, and it happened again moments ago.
00:27:13A second Americano.
00:27:15Listen, Joe, you have to understand, when you're as wildly popular on a global scale as El Grande Americano is,
00:27:21you've got followers.
00:27:22You've got people who wanna imitate you, who wanna follow in your footsteps, who just wanna soak in the aura of your greatness.
00:27:29And now with that, El Grande is taking advantage here in Milwaukee.
00:27:36Nearly ran into the big boot, but instead delivers a right hand.
00:27:41Americano able to weather the early emotional storm from AJ Styles.
00:27:49And the arrival of the second mysterious luchador was the Tide Turner.
00:27:53One, two, three.
00:27:54Let him go, let him go.
00:27:55Oh!
00:27:56El Grande Americano, no doubt one of the most elegant luchadors in the history of Lucha Libre.
00:28:13A true pleasure to watch.
00:28:15AJ Styles still smarting, still stinging, still angry about what transpired in that Intercontinental Championship match.
00:28:25Styles to the heavens!
00:28:27Did you see the height from which he just dropped on his lower back?
00:28:32Into the cover, hook in the leg is El Grande.
00:28:37As the second Americano lingers out there on the floor, things turned around when that second luchador came in and interfered.
00:28:47As all that emotion, all that rage that had built up over the past week for AJ Styles came out before we even had the bell to start this match.
00:28:56And then all of a sudden, the outside interference turned things around for him.
00:29:01AJ Styles was using his frustration to great effect.
00:29:04The problem is AJ allowed himself to have tunnel vision.
00:29:07Styles was only focused on the task at hand being Americano.
00:29:11Dropkick by Grande, looking for a cover.
00:29:13Ryan ended right here, hooking the leg, and again, AJ able to survive it.
00:29:22Now Grande stomping down on that hand.
00:29:28It's a smart strategy by Americano, realizing if you damage the arm, the hand, the forearm of AJ Styles,
00:29:33it may very well neutralize the threat of a phenomenal form.
00:29:37Trying to take away that cheap weapon.
00:29:40Make no mistake about it, AJ Styles knows many, many ways to hurt an opponent.
00:29:47Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:30:01A big crowd here at Five Serve Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:30:05Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves with you.
00:30:07AJ Styles came out and raged against El Grande Americano.
00:30:12And then all of a sudden, a second luchador, another Americano.
00:30:17Dos Americano came in, interfered, and turned things around.
00:30:21There's the cover.
00:30:22And getting that right shoulder up as Americano jumps right back on top of Styles, Corey.
00:30:27While Americano may have gotten control of this matchup by controversial means,
00:30:32Americano has not slowed down.
00:30:34He has proven to be absolutely relentless, understanding you're not going to get a chance
00:30:38to put AJ Styles down once he makes a comeback.
00:30:41Grande is undefeated on Monday Night Raw. 5-0.
00:30:50I can hear this crowd.
00:30:52Looking to rally support for Styles.
00:30:55AJ able to bulldoze Americano back into the turnbuckle.
00:30:59A few valuable seconds for AJ to recover.
00:31:04Getting his feet underneath him.
00:31:05Oh, but he eats a big boot.
00:31:07Just when he thought he had a bit of momentum.
00:31:11And El Grande plays to the crowd every which way.
00:31:14Looking for the DDT.
00:31:15Oh, exploder.
00:31:16He reversed it.
00:31:17What a great counter by Styles.
00:31:19Tremendous counter by AJ Styles.
00:31:22Styles buying himself again some valuable time to recover after the onslaught of offense from El Grande Americano.
00:31:31You see the second.
00:31:33Grande off to the side.
00:31:35He's critical in turning this match.
00:31:38But all of a sudden AJ Styles.
00:31:40The will.
00:31:41The grit.
00:31:42The desire.
00:31:43Styles now with that phenomenal blitz.
00:31:49And that blitz puts down El Grande.
00:31:53The striking combination.
00:31:55And Styles now has gathered momentum.
00:31:58El Grande in all types of trouble.
00:32:02AJ Styles continuing to soldier forward.
00:32:05Muscling up the luchador.
00:32:07Double switch.
00:32:08Eats an elbow.
00:32:09El Grande.
00:32:10Trying to reposition himself.
00:32:11Oh, look at AJ.
00:32:12Here it comes.
00:32:13Rack bomb.
00:32:14Into the cover.
00:32:15And the kick out by El Grande.
00:32:18That's gotta be frustrating for AJ Styles.
00:32:19Reaching deep into his arsenal.
00:32:20Muscling up Americano.
00:32:21The disorienting spin.
00:32:22And most of all, the impact on landing.
00:32:23Stacked up the luchador's shoulders.
00:32:24But El Grande with a little too much left in the tank.
00:32:25Deep into the match.
00:32:27After everything that Styles took.
00:32:28And he's looking for right here.
00:32:29But instead, El Grande.
00:32:30Able to back out.

00:32:41It's a huge challenge.
00:32:42It will hold him down.
00:32:43The disorienting spin.
00:32:44And most of all, the impact on landing.
00:32:45Stacked up the luchador's shoulders.
00:32:46And El Grande with a little too much left in the tank.
00:32:47Deep into the match.
00:32:48After everything that Styles took and he's looking for it right here.
00:32:51And he's looking for it right here.
00:32:52But instead, El Grande able to back out.
00:32:55Joe, if you look in the bottom corner of our screen,
00:32:57it has just been made official.
00:32:59Knight told General Manager Adam Pearce, just give me a brawn.
00:33:03I don't care who it is.
00:33:05He was listing off every brawn.
00:33:07He's got a big Bronson read.
00:33:09L.A. Knight will be our main event here on Raw.
00:33:12Look at that!

00:33:21Take another look at this spectacular athleticism.
00:33:25Walking the ropes with the greatest of ease into something of a blockbuster.
00:33:29El Grande very nearly tasted victory after that one.
00:33:32He has to go over the top with that balance and turn it into a blockbuster.
00:33:37Nearly two-thirds across the ring.
00:33:39Now El Grande.
00:33:40Uh-oh!
00:33:41Oh, he's looking for the bomb, but instead, oh, wait a minute.
00:33:43A.J., great wear with all by Styles, dislodging the mask of Americano.
00:33:49And with that, an opportunity for Styles.
00:33:53A.J. wants his arms.

00:36:44You have nothing to say to her.
00:36:47Actually, I do, and you know what?

00:36:54Respect?
00:36:55Respect?

00:38:12Introducing first from Dublin, Ireland, Lyra Valcarria!
00:38:18Now she's taken on every challenge thrown at her and after the brutal
00:38:25rivalry with Becky Lynch Lyra Valkyrie just wants back to business inside the
00:38:30room it is Lyra against Raquel Rodriguez when we come back as this matchup is
00:38:36presented by Credit One Bank don't go anywhere Lyra in action next on Raw
00:38:48wait Russell Palooza where we will crown a new women's world champion I can
00:39:07guarantee you this Joe Lyra Valkyrie will be keeping a close eye on that one this
00:39:12woman who was once the Intercontinental Champion would love an opportunity to
00:39:17step toward the top of the mountain here on Monday Night Raw I think she's
00:39:21proven herself so well this year listen recent years but specifically with some
00:39:26of the challenge she has stepped up to in this calendar year the inaugural women's
00:39:31Intercontinental Champion held that title for 144 days this goes to show you the
00:39:37level of competition throughout WWE's women's division from Raw to SmackDown to
00:39:42NXT the best of the best you know it's interesting when you look at the women's
00:39:49division and you take in the perspective when you know we're sitting here with
00:39:52everybody buzzing about the return of AJ Lee on a night when we just saw Nikki Bella and
00:39:57you think about how much has evolved through the years and the kind of talent we have and
00:40:01the depth on the roster when you see somebody like Lyra you're absolutely right and Nikki Bella
00:40:07deserves the praise and the accolades she was one of the pioneers that really led us to this point
00:40:11but with that said Nikki's found out firsthand the game has changed you leave for 10 years even AJ Lee
00:40:19is gonna have to deal with the learning curve should she step back in between the ropes again
00:40:23just a little later on
00:40:28and her opponent
00:40:36accompanying Barak Santorez
00:40:40from Rio Grande Valley, Texas representing the Judgment Day
00:40:46Raquel Rodriguez
00:40:50well we're talking about the evolution of the women's division let's give a little respect to
00:40:57Raquel Rodriguez Joe who in my opinion might be the most improved female on the roster recently
00:41:04Rodriguez has finally grown into her potential and has become a force throughout the women's
00:41:10division and Corey to your point I love your opinion on this not just what she is physically not
00:41:14just her skill but the leadership she had a show this summer obviously a five-time women's tag team
00:41:20champion but then having to go about her business without the person she won the tag team
00:41:25championship with and of course essentially acting as the glue that holds the Judgment Day together
00:41:30Rodriguez has grown exponentially in the past year or so she's absolutely ready to be a major roadblock
00:41:37to Valkyria's ascent
00:41:43well you know the headlines everybody talking about the return of A.J. Lee 178 million social views of A.J. Lee's return the most new SmackDown highlight of the year on X and Instagram accounts for WWE

00:43:52lake michigan short run give it to me straight into my veins i was ringside
00:43:57at smackdown when A.J. returned blew the roof off of all state arena let's run it back tonight
00:44:03A.J. Lee on raw for the first time in over 10 years that is coming up in just moments
00:44:14amazing how quickly things can change when someone opens their mouth
00:44:19judgment day was barking at adam pierce the general manager interrupting an appointment he had with lyra
00:44:25valkeri a week ago lyra said i want in and now she's got in with the powerful raquel rodriguez
00:44:31opposite her well lyra certainly has an opportunity but with that said raquel believes she deserves
00:44:37more opportunities bigger opportunities higher profile opportunities here in wwe and a win over
00:44:43lyra could go a long way toward that to your point in a division that's ultra deep and everybody has to
00:44:49jockey for position no doubt about it and as we were talking about a few minutes ago we've seen the return
00:44:53recently of nikki bella yes who's first-hand admitted how different how much better the entire
00:44:59roster is top to bottom the game has truly changed and it continues to change through the hard work of
00:45:04raquel rodriguez and lyra valkeria and speaking of nikki bella joe general manager adam pierce did it again
00:45:11nikki bella will go one-on-one with the empress of tomorrow oscar later tonight so we get nikki bella
00:45:18and oscar and he just announced prior to that we have la knight and big bronson reed made for our
00:45:24main event interesting strategy and i want to ask you obviously the size differential we saw moments
00:45:29ago why we're trying to chop down raquel a little bit when it comes to technical ability lyra valkyria
00:45:35may have a pretty significant advantage lyra is a technical wizard she knows how to grapple she's
00:45:40very well versed in submissions also lyra is not afraid to fly when necessary
00:45:44right now nothing fancy pure power and you're seeing an example of that right now
00:45:52now looking for a bit of a guillotine here by valkyria smart strategy when you're dealing with
00:45:56somebody as big as raquel rodriguez as powerful as she is sometimes you got to cut the oxygen off
00:46:01to get the upper hand oh look at how she's able to turn it around into a vertical but lyra
00:46:08out the back side oh and comes trying to test that size and that power and she's finding out
00:46:14as he's shoulder tackles coming up short cross body was caught cory at the test lyra's not gonna
00:46:19pass tonight not when you're dealing with rodriguez la ruda look at the agility oh good arm track
00:46:25there you go lyra and the kip up right to the enziguri and now rolling out to the outside is raquel
00:46:32and this crowd is gathering support for lyra valkyria
00:46:43oh the drop kick as raquel finds herself out on the floor you see in the background
00:46:50roxanne perez the prodigy of the judgment day lyra would be well advised to keep an eye out for
00:46:57ms perez and that's exactly what you can see her do even as she continues on her offensive assault
00:47:03one eye always looking over at roxanne perez up to the top rope oh catches the cross body attempt
00:47:11again vicious knees to the kidney again and again driving the knees before the ball away slam
00:47:18rodriguez now with an opportunity to turn the tides even further in her favor in this matchup look at
00:47:27oh would you look at this oh my look at this pulling on the hair and the leg how is the body
00:47:37out the spine shouldn't bend that way cory you're absolutely right it just goes to show you it just
00:47:41goes to illustrate how powerful how dangerous how lethal raquel rodriguez has become and look at this
00:47:50twisting corkscrewing the splash and then stepping right on her back again
00:47:56all the damage that the spine is taking here disrespect hooks the far leg
00:48:02able to survive it somehow but you can see lyra reaching for her back
00:48:11all right i think this match now is completely altered with the damage that has been done to
00:48:21the lower back of lyra valkyria i have no choice but to agree with you and raquel now
00:48:26focusing on the lower back continuing to pour on the punishment she's identified a weakness in lyra
00:48:32valkyria and rodriguez continues to exploit it boom oh she's just bullying now she has put a target
00:48:40on the middle of the lower back of lyra valkyria every which way how listen you've been in there
00:48:46how can you possibly describe to a layman the pain of being bent around the post from your head and
00:48:53your foot i don't know that i've ever physically been contorted as badly as lyra valkyria was moments
00:48:58ago but i can tell you this when your lower back is not cooperating you don't have your back it affects
00:49:03literally every aspect of the match you can't plant your feet and throw hands every time you land on
00:49:09your back you're reminded you feel that electricity through your body and it's absolutely miserable
00:49:16yeah not just the pain that you have to endure but the limitations then for what you would choose to
00:49:22do offensively dropping the elbow is raquel and so many superstars deliver their offense on instant you
00:49:30find yourself in a familiar position you know what move you like to fire off you know what move
00:49:34in your arsenal fits best for the situation sometimes when you're dealing with a back injury or anything
00:49:40dealing with your core even your ribs it really forces you to change your strategy and may take away
00:49:45some of your best offense
00:49:50but again the confidence of raquel rodriguez has grown recently and i think that may be the biggest factor in
00:49:55her career the upward trajectory of her career suplex into the lateral press valkyria stays alive
00:50:09and notice how cool calm and collected rodriguez is at this juncture joe this is something that we
00:50:15wouldn't have seen out of raquel six eight twelve months ago she wanted to end things as quickly as
00:50:20possible almost tried to rush through her offense now raquel understands it's okay to savor the suffering
00:50:27of your opponent and she is savoring that suffering for sure
00:50:35look at that smile on her face as she just gives out more and more pain dishing it out against libra
00:50:42valkyria listen officials in wwe have believed in raquel rodriguez dating back to her tenure in nxt
00:50:49it seems as though finally raquel believes in raquel now stretching her out that canadian backbreaker
00:50:55continuing to stretch her out agonizing situation for lyra valkyria can she fight back into this
00:51:04lyra valkyria is in a world of hurt against raquel rodriguez as rodriguez has been targeting that back
00:51:20just stretched her out over her shoulder canadian backbreaker oh here's a counter to roll up by lyra but
00:51:26for many many minutes oh look at this that's almost like a like a modification on the boston crab it's
00:51:31a crab with a reversed offensive position by the attacker and more and more pain to that lower back
00:51:38remember it was minutes ago as now the front face of life by lyra's minutes ago she was stretched out
00:51:44bent around the post her lower back and this has devolved into a battle of wills at least for that
00:51:49moment that modification on the boston crab by rodriguez a great counter by valkyria to force raquel
00:51:56to break the hold but things are starting to look bleak for valkyria it has been a sustained attack with
00:52:05the majority of the work targeting the lower back of lyra valkyria oh and credit to lyra who's still
00:52:12fighting with everything she's got in her being but you can tell the back is a factor lyra unable to
00:52:18adjust midair as she wanted to still got enough of the drop kick to be effective roxanne perez
00:52:23imploring her partner to get back in it as she drives a right forearm in and comes again trying to take
00:52:30advantage and conquer the size advantage spinning kick to the gut striking combination look at her go
00:52:37rallying an attack is lyra valkyria and the spinning kick with momentum behind it rodriguez went
00:52:44down for just a moment but raquel certainly seems discombobulated after this offense from lyra
00:52:51kind of a bit of a modification on the jawbreaker from valkyria like a wheelbarrow there and now she
00:52:57goes up top
00:53:01getting on that second rope
00:53:02lyra looking for any oh the jumping ddt could she do it right here lateral press able to kick out
00:53:12is rappel and again we continue to go back to the factor that has been lyra valkyria's lower back yes
00:53:19it was targeted it was attacked viciously and it has factored in to basically every maneuver lyra has
00:53:27attempted to execute in the past two or three minutes you see ticks on sale for wrestle palooza
00:53:32we're just 12 days away john cena and rock lesnar to battle how about what we just found out earlier
00:53:39tonight per general manager adam pierce osca one-on-one with nikki bella la knight one-on-one
00:53:45big bronson reid powerhouse move by raquel oh but the kick out that is coming your way tonight right here on raw
00:53:53take another look at this superhuman power from rodriguez
00:54:01something of a jackhammer type maneuver whatever you want to name it it was incredibly effective
00:54:07it may have driven the last little bit of will out of lyra valkyria
00:54:13muscled up once again once again in that compromised position with the backs arch
00:54:19over the shoulder and runs her right into the corner as if it's not bad enough to have all the
00:54:25lower back damage she drives her front facing into the corner sternum first into the top turnbuckle and
00:54:32now rodriguez with the worst of intentions for her opponent
00:54:38if raquel hits this it's going to be good night lyra oh to put a superplex on the back end of all the
00:54:44damage that raquel's already put forth on lyra i agree lyra oh lyra's climbing oh could we have a
00:54:49sunset could we have a sunset power bomb can she do it here does she have enough in her look at the
00:54:56power of rodriguez just holding herself upright wow repositioning herself how in the world did she do
00:55:03that lyra oh and raquel finds a way to survive it and that is a heartbreaker for valkyria as we take
00:55:11another look at lyra muscling herself back up to use her body as a lever to pull down the much bigger
00:55:20much stronger rodriguez high angle power bomb but this one continues man the inaugural intercontinental
00:55:28champion lyra valkyria she is finding a way and now possibly looking for her nightwing but remember
00:55:35the back remember the back cory as roxanne gets up on the apron and the ropes to distract her big
00:55:41mistake lyra big mistake rodriguez wisely goes back to the lower back of lyra oh the drop kick takes
00:55:50care of roxanne meanwhile you better turn around rodriguez wrapping her up
00:55:58lyra fiercely fighting with everything she's got left is it enough looking to kick her way free
00:56:10highly educated feet on lyra valkyria pin combination look at this pin combination
00:56:15as she bridged it reverse style and yet raquel rodriguez still got that shoulder up
00:56:21i don't think it can be overstated just how naturally powerful rodriguez is that enzigiri
00:56:30rocked the judgment day member
00:56:34and now lyra valkyria with rodriguez down and in the target zone is she thinking
00:56:44leg drop here possibility we've seen it before out of her but raquel's back up on her feet
00:56:50lyra was struggling to catch oh no tahana bomb will that do it
00:57:01here is your winner raquel rodriguez credit where it's due lyra valkyria fought valiantly with every fiber of
00:57:14her being including this massive running enzigiri that certainly rocked raquel unfortunately lyra's
00:57:22own body betrayed her the back playing a factor yet again unable to get her footing which allowed
00:57:29rodriguez to deliver a thunderous tejana bomb and pick up a big time w much to the delight of the much to the
00:57:38delight of the prodigy roxane perez what a win for raquel and the entire judgment day and the bad luck
00:57:50continues for valkyria

01:07:43Whoa, slow back, whoa, slow back
01:07:44Whoa, slow back, whoa, slow back
01:07:46Social Black! Social Black! Social Black! Social Black! Social Black!
01:08:05So for those of you who weren't here 10 years ago,
01:08:11and were really confused as to why your millennial parents were very excited on
01:08:16Friday, allow me to introduce myself.
01:08:23My name is AJ Lee.
01:08:35And I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
01:08:41And 10 years ago, I retired.
01:08:51I said I was sorry.
01:08:58I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling.
01:09:05And I was content, and I hung up my Chuck Taylors, and I thought that was the end of my story.
01:09:13There was no way I was going to step back in a ring again, wearing jean shorts that are two sizes too small.
01:09:23I was so sure.
01:09:24And so, I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life.
01:09:30And I did it.
01:09:31But most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:09:32And I did it.
01:09:33But most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:09:37And I was so
01:09:42I was so sure.
01:09:44And so, I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life.
01:09:52And I did it.
01:09:53But most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:10:10I wasn't healthy.
01:10:11I needed to take care of myself, get right.
01:10:16I went to therapy.
01:10:27I got treatment.
01:10:29Therapy!
01:10:30Yeah!
01:10:31Cheer for therapy!
01:10:33Therapy!
01:10:34Therapy!
01:10:39Therapy!
01:10:40Therapy!
01:10:41Therapy!
01:10:42Therapy!
01:10:43Therapy!
01:10:44Therapy!
01:10:45Fantastic.
01:10:46And I found a way to turn all of this mental chaos into my superpower.
01:11:00And man, the fight is not easy.
01:11:03Every day is a fight.
01:11:05But let me tell you, if you're going through the same thing, that fight is worth it.
01:11:10You are worth it.
01:11:11And I was doing really good for a long time.
01:11:28And then I watched Monday Night Raw.
01:11:33And look, healing isn't linear.
01:11:40Because it's one thing to see your husband fighting Drew McIntyre or Seth Rollins or John Cena.
01:11:47But it's another thing entirely, to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch.
01:12:00Yeah, I mean, look, I wanted to like Becky.
01:12:08I thought that we had so much in common.
01:12:11I mean, she's a leader.
01:12:13She's a rebel.
01:12:14She's a New York Times bestselling author.
01:12:17Hey, look at him.
01:12:18I want to go do it.
01:12:19I want to do it.
01:12:20You did it first!
01:12:21I did it first, yes.
01:12:23I did it first yes I am everybody's favorite reference I know thank you
01:12:39back on track back on track there is a world in which me and Becky could have
01:12:46been friends but then she had to go and motorboat my husband
01:12:53she put her hands on him she berated him she defamed him
