00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and after a weekend of props and brew, and Packers
00:00:38and Badgers wins, now the locals get a showcase event in the midst of a wild fan-favorite
00:00:44return.
00:00:45What 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...
00:01:03Becky Lynch!
00:01:07Seth Rollins' wife saved the championship for Rollins!
00:01:15Chicago!
00:01:16Welcome to the big time, I give you the man, Becky Lynch!
00:01:28Oh, classic Chicago, classic Chicago, I wouldn't expect you to know what greatness looks like.
00:01:39All your teams suck, and CM Punk sucks!
00:01:46I'm surprised, you came out here and chose 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
00:02:00skybox, and now hiding behind his wife.
00:02:03I think, what are you gonna do about it, huh?
00:02:10What are you gonna, what are you gonna do, huh?
00:02:12You gonna do something about it?
00:02:13Becky, this is exactly the situation I wanted to avoid, because you know I would never put
00:02:18my hands on a lady.
00:02:20Thankfully, I got somebody who will.
00:02:24AJ Lee, CM Punk's wife is here!
00:02:39AJ Lee, after a decade, is back!
00:02:45AJ Lee, taking it to Becky Lynch!
00:02:51The trailblazer, for the payback to Becky Lynch!
00:02:58Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch don't know what to think!
00:03:02Welcome back, AJ Lee!
00:03:05And arriving here in Bruce City, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins demand Becky Lynch.
00:03:18Of course, she's the Intercontinental Champ.
00:03:22But no title in hand.
00:03:23AJ Lee grabbed it, and for the first time in more than a decade, AJ Lee returns to RAW tonight,
00:03:28as we're at the Loud and Rockin' Five-Serve Arena here in Milwaukee.
00:03:40Twelve days until Wrestle Palooza, so much to be determined.
00:03:43For now, recent brotherly love reunion that will blow the roof off any arena will get us started.
00:03:50All outside!
00:03:59Yeah!
00:04:00Couple of roles, guys!
00:04:02Yeah!
00:04:03Oh!
00:04:04Yeah!
00:04:05Yeah!
00:04:06Yeah!
00:04:07Yeah!
00:04:08Yeah!
00:04:09Yeah!
00:04:11Yeah!
00:04:12Yeah!
00:04:14Here we go.
00:04:44Oh, together again.
00:05:03Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jimmy and main event, Shea, the Uto.
00:05:14It feels like day one all over again.
00:05:18All 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.
00:05:29The 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 Pest.
00:05:54Great scene here in Milwaukee.
00:05:57The Uso's together again.
00:05:59Of course, this is a football crazy state.
00:06:19The football season and time of the year when our broadcast assignments switch up just a little bit.
00:06:23Joe Tessitore with you, Wade Barrett on a well-deserved vacation.
00:06:27But the man who does everything in our company is right here, Corey Graves.
00:06:30My man 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.
00:06:55But if you thought this would end without extracurricular activities, you were sadly mistaken.
00:07:01L.A. Knight, always defiant.
00:07:04Still 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.
00:07:18Let's go.
00:07:23Let's go.
00:07:24Let's go.
00:07:26Let's go.
00:07:27Let's go.
00:07:58Right back to it.
00:07:59They wanted it.
00:08:00They're getting it.
00:08:13Cream City has just turned into Yeet City tonight for Munjay Night Raw.
00:08:22Oh, there's the handoff.
00:08:25I know your territory.
00:08:27You call it that.
00:08:27I said the Usos are now in your division.
00:08:54Seth Rollins, the Brownies, the Bronsons, the Brussos, Brown Breaker, Bronson Reed, y'all messed up.
00:09:13You're screwed up, Bronson Reed, the Bronson Reed, the Badass Braun Breaker.
00:09:37Out here looking for trouble already.
00:09:44They find it so easily week after week.
00:09:47Hey, Reed, look.
00:09:56Hey, 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.
00:10:18The Dogs run Monday Night Raw.
00:10:23Man, y'all got some nerve coming out here standing in our ring after what y'all's family did to Paul Heyman.
00:10:31man, y'all got some nerve coming out here standing in our ring after tonight.
00:10:40Yes, sir.
00:10:44Not tonight.
00:10:47Not tonight.
00:10:48Tonight, all I want from Roman's family is to acknowledge their tribal thief.
00:11:18Big Jim, listen to Big Bronson.
00:11:28You 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!
00:11:48We don't need to listen to these people.
00:11:53Rollins! Rollins! Rollins! Rollins!
00:11:58Rollins! Rollins!
00:12:00He's coming back. We 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.
00:12:13Hey, how about you shut your mouth when you talk about the OTC?
00:12:18Hey, Braun Breaker, to answer your question, yeah, Big Jim, know where I'm at.
00:12:26I'm right here on Muntin' Jane Night Raw.
00:12:28Hey, you know what?
00:12:33There it is.
00:12:35I'm very happy to be standing in front of the vision.
00:12:37Because I do remember Seth J&J Security, but who the hell we got here?
00:12:41More like PB, J&J Security.
00:12:46Hey, we know who you two punks are.
00:12:48Let me remind you who's standing in the ring, you the twos.
00:12:51And we the...
00:12:54I don't know where it irks me more.
00:12:56I don't know where it irks me more.
00:12:58Either because you two got the same damn name,
00:13:00or 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,
00:13:11a.k.a. the advocate,
00:13:13a.k.a. the wise man,
00:13:15a.k.a. the orca.
00:13:16He built like one, a.k.a.
00:13:18In the work...
00:13:19He is...
00:13:20A.k.a. the words of the tribal chief,
00:13:25Dumbass!
00:13:26I'm telling you, I'm going to plan for you.
00:13:33So 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?
00:13:45It's Breaker and Big K. Bronson Reed.
00:13:48At Russell Palooza,
00:13:49you're going against the best damn tag team in the game,
00:13:52Jimmy and Jack.
00:13:54Oh, so...
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:59Hey, but check it out, Milwaukee.
00:14:00We ain't even got to wait.
00:14:02We getting jiggy right now.
00:14:04Hey, talk to him.
00:14:07Roll letters.
00:14:08Roll line.
00:14:10O-R-E-D!
00:14:12No, no, no, no, no.
00:14:13We can wait.
00:14:15Because we can wait to wrestle Palooza.
00:14:17Not tonight.
00:14:18Milwaukee doesn't get to see this match.
00:14:21Wait a minute, that's LA Knight?
00:14:22Oh!
00:14:23Of course, LA Knight!
00:14:24Has 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.
00:14:31The defiant LA Knight out here all on his own,
00:14:35trying to bring the fight to the vision.
00:14:37But LA being overwhelmed by these two powerhouses.
00:14:41Yeah, two on one right now.
00:14:43Big Bronson Reed and the badass Braun Breaker
00:14:47after last week's brutal attack.
00:14:48Wait a minute!
00:14:49Whoa!
00:14:50Uso!
00:14:51And go flying!
00:14:54Big Jim and Main Event J
00:14:56bringing the fight to Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker.
00:15:00What an announcement!
00:15:02Wrestle Palooza!
00:15:03Get ready!
00:15:04Each delivering blow after blow
00:15:08to Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:11Reed and Breaker in the unfamiliar position
00:15:14of being outnumbered right now.
00:15:19And here's Breaker back in the midst.
00:15:22Super kick Lance Blush!
00:15:24Big Bronson trying to gather himself.
00:15:29Looking for the BFT.
00:15:31Two!
00:15:32Two!
00:15:33One!
00:15:35Oh, in a moment of hesitation, costly.
00:15:40Reed goes flying out of the ring
00:15:41after the super kick from Jimmy.
00:15:43One!
00:15:43One!
00:15:44One!
00:15:44One!
00:15:44One!
00:15:45One!
00:15:45One!
00:15:46One!
00:15:46One!
00:15:47One!
00:15:47One!
00:15:48One!
00:15:48One!
00:15:49One!
00:15:49One!
00:15:50One!
00:15:50One!
00:15:51One!
00:15:51One!
00:15:52One!
00:15:52One!
00:15:53One!
00:15:53One!
00:15:54One!
00:15:54One!
00:15:54One!
00:15:55One!
00:15:56Of course, the recent actions
00:15:57between Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed,
00:16:00the attack a week ago that we showed you.
00:16:04And you can see still a little bit
00:16:07of 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
00:16:14between Jey Uso and L.A. Knight.
00:16:16When the World Heavyweight Championship
00:16:17is involved, tension is absolutely everywhere.
00:16:20But let's not gloss over what we just heard.
00:16:23What an announcement for Wrestlemania.
00:16:24Wrestlepalooza.
00:16:25Wrestlepalooza.
00:16:25Wrestlepalooza, you heard it.
00:16:26You're going to have the bronze against the Uso's.
00:16:28That'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
00:16:38when Dom Mysterio got a helping hand
00:16:41in defending his IC title.
00:16:42Just when it seemed as though AJ Styles
00:16:45was 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
00:16:56and deliver a headbutt.
00:16:57Boom!
00:16:58Directly to the heart of the Phenomenal One,
00:17:01which would open the door
00:17:02for the King of the Luchadores.
00:17:04Dirty Dom to deliver a frog splash.
00:17:07And still.
00:17:08The following contest is
00:17:37introducing first from Gainesville, Georgia,
00:17:42weighted for 220 pounds,
00:17:45the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:17:51You know, just a week ago,
00:17:52it was that ultimate sing-along in Paris
00:17:54at this moment.
00:17:55As they like to say there,
00:17:56he 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
00:18:03against El Grande Americano.
00:18:06That's next.
00:18:07Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:18:09From here live in Hill Raw.
00:18:10Good job.
00:18:12Today.
00:18:16Bye-bye.
00:18:19Bye-bye.
00:18:21Bye-bye.
00:18:58Ain't nobody manning up until the pain.
00:19:01And you can be next.
00:19:02You better give respect.
00:19:04Cause ain't nobody breaking his redneck.
00:19:07No, hell no, none.
00:19:08No, hell no, none.
00:19:21Milwaukee, I'm ready to take somebody's head off.
00:19:28Dominic Mysterio got his little buddy that coffee bean Americano to get involved in my match and cost me the Intercontinental Championship.
00:19:41And to be honest with you, it could have been my fault.
00:19:53You see, for the first time in my career, I've got no one watching my back.
00:19:58Gallows, Anderson, they're not here.
00:20:09Meechan, she's on SmackDown.
00:20:12It's like someone orchestrated a way for me not to win anymore.
00:20:18Not to have help.
00:20:23I'll make you, I'll let you make your own conclusions.
00:20:26By the way, we are here right now and all over the world, but Arrest, everybody, isn't a commercial break.
00:20:34I'm telling you something that you're probably not supposed to hear, but somebody doesn't want me here.
00:20:41So, what we're going to do is you're going to 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 mine also.
00:21:10Hey, you don't want to miss John Cena's last time in Boston and New York, November 10th, November 17th.
00:21:35And tickets on sale Wednesday, September 10th by way of Ticketmaster.
00:21:39Pre-sales tomorrow, Tuesday, September 9th.
00:21:43Last time, John Cena in Boston and in New York.
00:21:48That is a hot ticket.
00:21:51How many times are you going to say it?
00:21:52Well, I'm going to say it as many times as you get it done.
00:21:54Well, why don't you let me go work on it?
00:21:55Yeah, why don't you go work on it?
00:21:57L.A., L.A., we obviously saw what happened out there with the Vision and the Usos.
00:22:02Is it safe to assume that's why you were just arguing?
00:22:04What it's safe to assume is that we're over here talking about what I need, what I want right now,
00:22:09and instead I'm hearing about, well, there's a tag team match at Wrestlepalooza.
00:22:14It's the Usos.
00:22:15It's the Vision.
00:22:16Yay.
00:22:17Like, I care about their little family reunion.
00:22:19I don't care about that.
00:22:20What 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 purpose?
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 ain't a hard man to find, so 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, I said, give me Bron Breaker, you can give me LeBron James,
00:22:50you can give me Little Bronny, you can give me Charles Bronson.
00:22:53If his name is Bron, I want him in the ring, and 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.
00:23:03Holiday Knight in a fighting mood here tonight on Raw.
00:23:06We're going to find out if he gets his wish.
00:23:08Joe Corey, back to you guys.
00:23:09Thank you, Byron.
00:23:10I don't think anybody had Little Bronny and Charles Bronson mentions on their bingo card at Raw tonight.
00:23:15There must be something in the water here in Milwaukee tonight,
00:23:18because AJ Styles, just like LA Knight, incredibly fired up.
00:23:36And his opponent, from the Gulf of America, weighing in at 202 pounds.
00:23:44El Grande Americano.
00:23:51El Grande Americano has had a lot of success on Monday Night Raw.
00:23:55Of 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.
00:24:04But 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.
00:24:13Oh! And you can see how bothered Styles is with that thought.
00:24:16He thought he was closing in on beating Dirty Dom.
00:24:19El Grande Americano head-butted him in the chest, teed things up for Dirty Dom, and now AJ's right on top of him, Corey.
00:24:26Styles eager to take his pound of flesh from El Grande Americano, who has drawn the ire of the Phenomenal One.
00:24:33AJ not waiting for the bell to ring, bringing the fight to the legendary Luchino.
00:24:40Big chop because he had him teed up against that barrier.
00:24:44And 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.
00:25:03Joe, 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.
00:25:10This is a man on a mission.
00:25:12Gets away from that big right hand.
00:25:16Pele kick.
00:25:17Pele 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.
00:25:26After all that, we've got a bell, and the match is underway.
00:25:29Cross body to the floor.
00:25:32Right arm point as always.
00:25:35The Phenomenal AJ Styles in quite the mood tonight.
00:25:39Unfortunately, for El Grande Americano.
00:25:42And Corey, I just can't help but think, when you're sitting there and you're trying to line up the Phenomenal Forum,
00:25:48you think you've got it in the grasp of your hand.
00:25:50And 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.
00:26:02And right now, Styles is using that frustration as motivation to lay a beat down on El Grande Americano.
00:26:11Mention the success that Americano has had.
00:26:13Boom!
00:26:14Oh!
00:26:15Oh, he may be lining it up right away here, Corey.
00:26:18Not sure if there's a problem with Americano.
00:26:20Wait!
00:26:21What in the world?
00:26:23Another luchador, but...
00:26:25Dos Grande!
00:26:27The other Americano.
00:26:30Well, how's AJ Styles supposed to compete with two?
00:26:33Oh man, oh man!
00:26:34Did 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!
00:27:07It wasn't long ago that fans were shocked when another luchador came out and it happened again moments ago.
00:27:15Americano listen Joe you have to understand when you are as wildly popular on a global scale as
00:27:21El Grande Americano is you've got followers you got people who want to imitate you who want to
00:27:25follow in your footsteps who just want to just soak in the aura of your greatness
00:27:30and now with that El Grande is taking advantage here in Milwaukee
00:27:37nearly ran into the big boot but instead delivers a right hand
00:27:42Americano able to weather the early emotional storm from AJ Styles
00:27:49and the arrival of the second mysterious luchador was the tide turner
00:27:54Americano was in search of
00:27:57grande Americano no doubt one of the most elegant luchadores in the history of lucha libre a true pleasure to watch
00:28:16AJ Styles still smarting still stinging still angry about what transpired in that intercontinental championship match
00:28:26Styles to the heavens did you see the height from which he just dropped on his lower back into the cover hook in the leg is El Grande
00:28:34as the second Americano lingers out there on the floor things turned around when that second luchador came in and interfered as all that emotion all that rage that it built up over the past week for AJ Styles came out before we even had the bell to start this
00:28:44match and then all of a sudden the outside interference turned things around for AJ Styles was using his frustration to great effect the problem is AJ allowed himself to have tunnel vision
00:28:54Styles was only focused on the task at hand being Americano
00:29:01Americano dropkick by Grande looking for a cover
00:29:02I'm headed right here hooking the leg and again AJ able to survive it
00:29:07and again AJ able to survive it
00:29:11and again AJ able to survive it
00:29:14and again AJ able to survive it
00:29:18and again AJ able to survive it
00:29:22now Grande stomping down
00:29:26on that hand
00:29:29it's a smart strategy by Americano
00:29:31realizing if you damage the arm the hand the forearm of AJ Styles it may very well neutralize the threat of a phenomenal form
00:29:38gotta take away that cheap weapon
00:29:44make no mistake about it AJ Styles knows many many ways to hurt an opponent
00:29:49and then all of a sudden a second Luchador another Americano
00:29:53Dos Americano
00:29:55came in interfered and turned things around there's the cover
00:30:00and getting that right shoulder up as Americano jumps right back on top of Styles Corey
00:30:04while Americano may have gotten control of this matchup by controversial means
00:30:08Americano has not slowed down he's proven to be absolutely relentless understanding your name
00:30:11and then all of a sudden
00:30:13and then all of a sudden
00:30:15and then all of a sudden
00:30:17so that's going to finish up
00:30:29he's won all of a sudden
00:30:30that's going to do
00:30:33that's going to be
00:30:35clear that this occurred comment and now
00:30:36the enemies of spoiler
00:30:39to put AJ Styles down once he makes
00:30:41a comeback. Al Grande is undefeated
00:30:43on Monday Night Raw. 5-0.
00:30:51I can hear this crowd. Looking to rally
00:30:53support for Styles.
00:30:55AJ able to bulldoze Americano
00:30:57back into the turnbuckle.
00:30:59A few valuable seconds for AJ
00:31:01to recover.
00:31:04Giving his
00:31:05feet underneath him. Oh, but he eats a
00:31:07big boot just when he thought
00:31:09he had a bit of momentum.
00:31:12And Al Grande
00:31:13plays to the crowd every which way.
00:31:15Looking for the DDT. Oh, exploder!
00:31:17He reversed it. What a great counter
00:31:19by Styles. Tremendous counter
00:31:21by AJ Styles.
00:31:23Buying himself again
00:31:25some valuable time to recover
00:31:27after the onslaught of offense
00:31:29from Al Grande Americano.
00:31:31You see the second
00:31:33Grande off to the side.
00:31:35He's critical in turning
00:31:38this match, but all of a sudden
00:31:39AJ Styles.
00:31:40The will!
00:31:42The grit!
00:31:43The desire!
00:31:46Styles now with that phenomenal
00:31:48blitz!
00:31:49And that blitz
00:31:50puts down
00:31:52Al Grande.
00:31:53The striking combination!
00:31:56And Styles
00:31:57now has gathered momentum.
00:32:00Al Grande
00:32:01in all types of trouble.
00:32:02AJ Styles
00:32:04continuing to
00:32:05soldier forward
00:32:06muscling up

00:32:13but look at AJ!
00:32:16Here it comes!
00:32:17Rack bomb!
00:32:19Into the cover!
00:32:21And the kick out
00:32:22by Al Grande.
00:32:24That's got to be frustrating
00:32:25for AJ Styles
00:32:26reaching deep
00:32:27into his arsenal.
00:32:29Muscling up Americano.
00:32:30the disorienting spin

00:32:33the impact

00:32:36Stacked up the luchador's shoulders
00:32:37at Al Grande
00:32:38with a little too much
00:32:39left in the tank.
00:32:42Deep into the match.
00:32:44After everything
00:32:45that Styles took
00:32:46and he's looking for
00:32:46right here
00:32:47but instead

00:37:56Wow.
00:37:57Adam Pearce
00:37:57certainly has his
00:37:58hands full tonight.
00:38:09The following contest
00:38:10is scheduled
00:38:11for one call.
00:38:13Introducing first
00:38:15from Dublin,
00:38:16Ireland,
00:38:18Lyra
00:38:19Vankaria!
00:38:21Now,
00:38:22she's taken on
00:38:22every challenge
00:38:23thrown at her.
00:38:24And after the
00:38:25brutal rivalry
00:38:26with Becky Lynch,
00:38:28Lyra Valkyrie
00:38:28just walks back
00:38:29to business
00:38:30inside the ropes.
00:38:31It is Lyra
00:38:32against Raquel Rodriguez
00:38:33when we come back
00:38:34as this matchup
00:38:35is presented
00:38:36by Credit One Bank.
00:38:38Don't go anywhere!
00:38:40Lyra in action
00:38:41next on Raw.
00:38:42Wrestle Palooza
00:38:43and we will crown a new
00:38:48Women's World Champion.
00:38:50I can guarantee you this, Joe.
00:38:52Lyra Valkyrie will be keeping a close eye on that one.
00:38:54And we will crown a new Women's World Champion.
00:38:55I can guarantee you this, Joe.
00:38:56Lyra Valkyrie will be keeping a close eye on that one.
00:38:59This woman who was once the Intercontinental Champion would love an opportunity to step toward the top of the mountain here on Monday Night Raw.
00:39:19I think she's proven herself so well this year, listen in recent years, but specifically with some of the challenge she has stepped up to in this calendar year, the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion held that title for 144 days.
00:39:35It just goes to show you the level of competition throughout WWE's women's division from Raw to SmackDown to NXT, the best of the best.
00:39:47It's interesting when you look at the women's division and you take in the perspective when, you know, we're sitting here with everybody buzzing about the return of AJ Lee on a night when we just saw Nikki Bell.
00:39:56And you think about how much has evolved through the years and the kind of talent we have and the depth on the roster when you see somebody like Lyra Valkyrie,
00:40:05You're absolutely right. And Nikki Bella deserves 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 is going to have to deal with the learning curve.
00:40:20Should she step back in between the ropes again?
00:40:27Just a little later on.
00:40:35And her opponent, a company for Roxanne Torrey from Rio Grande Valley, Texas, representing the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:40:50Well, we're talking about the evolution of the women's division. Let's give a little respect to Raquel 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 division.
00:41:10And, Corey, to your point, I love your opinion on this. Not just what she is physically, not just her skill, but the leadership she had to show this summer.
00:41:18Obviously, a five-time women's tag team champion. But then having to go about her business without the person she won the tag team championship with.
00:41:26And, 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.
00:41:34So, she's absolutely ready to be a major roadblock to Valkyria's ascent.
00:41:55Well, you know the headlines.
00:41:57Everybody talking about the return of AJ Lee.
00:42:01The 178 million social views of AJ Lee's return.
00:42:07The most viewed SmackDown highlight of the year on X and Instagram accounts for WWE.
00:42:14A hundred and seventy-eight million social views.
00:42:18It's been an incredible career for AJ Lee that now gets a second act after a ten-year gap.
00:42:27I promised all of you I would redefine.
00:42:31The term diva, and I am very proud to say that I sure have done that.
00:42:42What I like about AJ is her spunk.
00:42:47I love this business.
00:42:48It's about time we redefine what you're used to.
00:42:51I am a woman who knows how to get exactly what she wants.
00:43:02The Black Widow is in.
00:43:04We are the new champion.
00:43:07AJ Lee has reached her goal of becoming diva's champion.
00:43:13I have gone from being a girl in New Jersey to being the best in the world.
00:43:25You will never be able to lace that mic shot Taylor.
00:43:30AJ Lee is here!
00:43:35AJ Lee, after a decade, is back!
00:43:39It's only time to put it to me.
00:43:46And Corey, as if Friday's through and return in Chicago wasn't enough.
00:43:50Oh, that wave of momentum has come up.
00:43:53Blake, Michigan, short run.
00:43:54Give it to me straight into my veins.
00:43:56I was ringside at SmackDown when AJ returned.
00:43:59Blew the roof off of All-State Arena.
00:44:01Let's run it back tonight.
00:44:03AJ Lee on Raw for the first time in over ten years.
00:44:06That 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 Pearce, the general manager,
00:44:23interrupting an appointment he had with Lyra Valkyrie a week ago.
00:44:26Lyra says, I want in.
00:44:28And now she's got in with the powerful Raquel Rodriguez opposite her.
00:44:32Well, Lyra certainly has an opportunity.
00:44:35But with that said, Raquel believes she deserves more opportunities,
00:44:38bigger opportunities, higher profile opportunities here in WWE.
00:44:42And a win over Lyra could go a long way toward that.
00:44:45To your point, in a division that's ultra deep and everybody has to jockey for position.
00:44:50No doubt about it.
00:44:51And as we were talking about a few minutes ago,
00:44:53we've seen the return recently of Nikki Bella.
00:44:55Yes.
00:44:55Who first-hand admitted how different, how much better.
00:44:58The entire roster is top to bottom.
00:45:00The game has truly changed, and it continues to change
00:45:03through the hard work of Raquel Rodriguez and Lyra Valkyrie.
00:45:07And speaking of Nikki Bella, Joe, general manager Adam Pearce did it again.
00:45:11Nikki Bella will go one-on-one with the empress of tomorrow, Asuka, later tonight.
00:45:17So we get Nikki Bella and Asuka, and he just announced prior to that,
00:45:21we have L.A. Knight and Big Bronson Reed made for our main event.
00:45:25Interesting strategy, and I want to ask you,
00:45:27obviously the size differential we saw moments ago.
00:45:30Lyra trying to chop down Raquel a little bit.
00:45:32When it comes to technical ability, Lyra Valkyrie may have a pretty significant advantage.
00:45:37Lyra is a technical wizard.
00:45:39She knows how to grapple.
00:45:40She's very well-versed in submissions.
00:45:42Also, Lyra's not afraid to fly when necessary.
00:45:44Raquel, nothing fancy.
00:45:46Pure power.
00:45:47And you're seeing an example of that right now.
00:45:52Now looking for a bit of a guillotine here by Valkyrie.
00:45:55Smart strategy.
00:45:56When you're dealing with somebody as big as Raquel Rodriguez, as powerful as she is,
00:45:59sometimes you've got to cut the oxygen off to get the upper hand.
00:46:02Oh, look at how she's able to turn it around into a vertical.
00:46:07But Lyra, out the back side, and comes trying to test that size and that power.
00:46:12And she's finding out as he's shoulder tackles.
00:46:15Coming up short.
00:46:16Cross body was caught, Corey.
00:46:18At the test, Lyra's not going to pass tonight.
00:46:20Not when you're dealing with Rodriguez.
00:46:23La Ruda.
00:46:23Look at the agility.
00:46:24Oh, good arm track.
00:46:25There you go, Lyra.
00:46:27And the kip up.
00:46:28Right to the enziguri.
00:46:29And now rolling out to the outside is Raquel.
00:46:33And this crowd is gathering support for Lyra Valkyrie.
00:46:43Oh, the drop kick.
00:46:45As Raquel finds herself out on the floor.
00:46:48You see in the background, Roxanne Perez, the prodigy of the Judgment Day.
00:46:53Lyra would be well advised to keep an eye out for Ms. Perez.
00:46:58And 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.
00:47:07Up to the top rope.
00:47:09Catches the cross body.
00:47:10Attempt again.
00:47:12Oof.
00:47:12Vicious knees to the kidney.
00:47:15Again and again.
00:47:16Driving the knees before the fallaway slam.
00:47:21Rodriguez now with an opportunity to turn the tides even further in her favor in this matchup.
00:47:27Look at this.
00:47:27Oh, would you look at this?
00:47:29Raquel's a hater in half.
00:47:31Oh, my.
00:47:33Look at this.
00:47:33Pulling on the hair and the leg.
00:47:36How is the body, the spine shouldn't bend that way, Corey.
00:47:39Oh, you're absolutely right.
00:47:40It just goes to show you.
00:47:41It just goes to illustrate how powerful, how dangerous, how lethal Raquel Rodriguez has become.
00:47:47And look at this.
00:47:49I was looking for the baby.
00:47:50Oh, twisting, corkscrewing the splash.
00:47:53And then stepping right on her back again.
00:47:56Absolute.
00:47:56Oh, the damage that the spine is taking here.
00:47:59Disrespect hooks the far leg.
00:48:02Able to survive it somehow, but you can see Lyra reaching for her back.
00:48:07Corey, I think this match now is completely altered with the damage that has been done to the lower back of Lyra Valkyria.
00:48:23I have no choice but to agree with you.
00:48:25And Raquel now focusing on the lower back, continuing to pour on the punishment.
00:48:30She's identified a weakness in Lyra Valkyria.
00:48:33And Rodriguez continues to exploit it.
00:48:35Boom!
00:48:35Oh, she's just bullying now.
00:48:38She has put a target on the middle of the lower back of Lyra Valkyria every which way.
00:48:45Listen, 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 your foot?
00:48:54I don't know that I've ever physically been contorted as badly as Lyra Valkyria was moments ago.
00:48:58But I can tell you this.
00:48:59When your lower back is not cooperating.
00:49:01When you don't have your back, it affects literally every aspect of the match.
00:49:06You can't plant your feet and throw hands.
00:49:08Every time you land on your back, you're reminded.
00:49:10You feel that electricity through your body.
00:49:13And it's absolutely miserable.
00:49:15Yeah, not just the pain that you have to endure, but the limitations then for what you would choose to do offensively.
00:49:24Dropping the elbow is Raquel.
00:49:26And so many superstars deliver their offense on instant.
00:49:30You find yourself in a familiar position.
00:49:32You know what move you like to fire off.
00:49:34You know what move in your arsenal fits best for the situation.
00:49:37Sometimes when you're dealing with a back injury or anything dealing with your core, even your ribs,
00:49:41it really forces you to change your strategy and may take away some of your best offense.
00:49:50But again, the confidence of Raquel Rodriguez has grown recently.
00:49:53And I think that may be the biggest factor in her career.
00:49:56The upward trajectory of her career.
00:49:59Suplex into the lateral press.
00:50:03Valkyria stays alive.
00:50:04And notice how cool, calm, and collected Rodriguez is at this juncture, Joe.
00:50:15This is something that we wouldn't have seen out of Raquel six, eight, 12 months ago.
00:50:19She wanted to end things as quickly as possible.
00:50:21Almost tried to rush through her offense.
00:50:23Now Raquel understands.
00:50:25It's okay to savor the suffering of your opponent.
00:50:29And she is savoring that suffering for sure.
00:50:35And look at that smile on her face as she just gives out more and more pain,
00:50:41dishing it out against Lyra Valkyria.
00:50:44Listen, 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.
00:50:53Now stretching her out, that Canadian backbreaker continuing to stretch her out.
00:51:00Agonizing situation for Lyra Valkyria.
00:51:02Can she fight back into this?
00:51:12Lyra Valkyria is in a world of hurt against Raquel Rodriguez
00:51:16as Rodriguez has been targeting that back.
00:51:20Just stretched her out over her shoulder.
00:51:22Canadian backbreaker.
00:51:22Oh, here's a counter and a roll-up by Lyra.
00:51:26But for many, many minutes.
00:51:28Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:28Look at this.
00:51:29That's almost like a modification on the Boston Crab.
00:51:31Yeah, it's a crab with a reversed offensive position by the attacker.
00:51:36And more and more pain to that lower back.
00:51:38Remember, it was minutes ago.
00:51:41As now the front page is locked by Lyra.
00:51:42Minutes ago, she was stretched out, bent around the post.
00:51:46Her lower back.
00:51:47And this has devolved into a battle of wills, at least for that moment.
00:51:50That modification on the Boston Crab by Rodriguez.
00:51:53Great counter by Valkyria to force Raquel to break the hold.
00:51:57But things are starting to look bleak for Valkyria.
00:52:02It has been a sustained attack with a majority of the work targeting the lower back of Lyra Valkyria.
00:52:10And credit to Lyra, who's still fighting with everything she's got in her being.
00:52:15But you can tell, the back is a factor.
00:52:17Lyra unable to adjust midair as she wanted to.
00:52:20Still got enough of the dropkick to be effective.
00:52:22Roxanne Perez imploring her partner to get back in it as she drives a right forearm in.
00:52:28And comes again, trying to take advantage and conquer the size advantage.
00:52:34Spinning kick to the gut.
00:52:35Striking combination.
00:52:36Look at her go.
00:52:38Rallying an attack is Lyra Valkyria.
00:52:40And the spinning kick with momentum behind it.
00:52:44Rodriguez went down for just a moment, but Raquel certainly seems discombobulated.
00:52:49After this offense from Lyra.
00:52:51Kind of a bit of a modification on a jawbreaker from Valkyria.
00:52:55Like a wheelbarrow there.
00:52:56And now she goes up top.
00:53:01Getting on that second rope.
00:53:04Lyra looking for any left.
00:53:05Oh, the jumping DDT.
00:53:08There it is.
00:53:08She's doing it right here.
00:53:10Lateral press.
00:53:12Able to kick out is Raquel.
00:53:13And again, we continue to go back to the factor that has been Lyra Valkyria's lower back.
00:53:19Yes.
00:53:19It was targeted.
00:53:20It was attacked viciously.
00:53:22And it has factored in to basically every maneuver Lyra has attempted to execute in the past two or three minutes.
00:53:30You see ticks on sale for Wrestle Palooza.
00:53:32We're just 12 days away.
00:53:34John Cena and Brock Lesnar to battle.
00:53:37How about what we just found out earlier tonight?
00:53:40Her general manager, Adam Pearce.
00:53:42Asuka one-on-one with Nikki Bella.
00:53:44L.A. Knight one-on-one with big Bronson Reed.
00:53:47Powerhouse move by Raquel.
00:53:49Oh, but the kick out.
00:53:50That 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.
00:54:04Whatever 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.
00:54:15And once again in that compromised position with the back arch over the shoulder and runs her right into the corner.
00:54:21As if it's not bad enough to have all the lower back damage, she drives her front-facing into the corner.
00:54:30Sternum first into the top turnbuckle.
00:54:32And now Rodriguez with the worst of intentions for her opponent.
00:54:38If Raquel hits this, it's going to be good night, Lyra.
00:54:41Oh, to put a superplex on the back end of all the damage that Raquel's already put forth on Lyra, I agree.
00:54:48Lyra.
00:54:48Oh, Lyra's climbing.
00:54:49Oh, could we have a sunset?
00:54:50Could we have a sunset power bump?
00:54:52Can she do it here?
00:54:54Does she have enough in her?
00:54:55Look at the power of Rodriguez just holding herself upright.
00:54:59Whoa!
00:55:01Repositioning herself.
00:55:02How in the world did she do that?
00:55:04Lyra.
00:55:05Oh, and Raquel finds a way to survive it.
00:55:07And that is a heartbreaker for Valkyria as we take another look at Lyra muscling herself back up to use her body as a lever to pull down the much bigger, much stronger Rodriguez.
00:55:21High angle power bump.
00:55:23But this one continues.
00:55:25Man, the inaugural intercontinental champion, Lyra Valkyria.
00:55:30She is finding a way.
00:55:32And now possibly looking for her signature night wing.
00:55:34But remember the back.
00:55:36Remember the back, Corey, as Roxanne gets up on the apron and the ropes to distract her.
00:55:41Big mistake, Lyra.
00:55:43Big mistake.
00:55:45Rodriguez wisely goes back to the lower back of Lyra.
00:55:49Oh, the dropkick takes care of Roxanne.
00:55:53Meanwhile, you better turn around.
00:55:56Rodriguez wrapping her up.
00:56:00Lyra fiercely fighting with everything she's got left.
00:56:05Is it enough?
00:56:07Looking to kick her way free.
00:56:10Highly educated feet on Lyra Valkyria.
00:56:13Pin in combination.
00:56:13Look at this pin in combination.
00:56:14As she bridged it reverse style.
00:56:18And yet Raquel Rodriguez still got that shoulder up.
00:56:23I don't think it can be overstated just how naturally powerful Rodriguez is.
00:56:29That Enzigiri rocked the Judgment Day member.
00:56:33And now Lyra Valkyria with Rodriguez down and in the target zone.
00:56:40Is she thinking leg drop here possibility?
00:56:46We've seen it before out of her.
00:56:48But Raquel's back up on her feet.
00:56:50Lyra was struggling.
00:56:51He can't do it.
00:56:51Oh, no.
00:56:53Tejada bomb.
00:56:54Will that do it?
00:56:56One, two, three.
00:56:57Here is your winner, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:57:08Credit where it's due.
00:57:10Lyra Valkyria fought valiantly with every fiber of her being, including this massive running Enzigiri that certainly rocked Raquel.
00:57:20Unfortunately, Lyra's own body betrayed her.
00:57:24The back playing a factor yet again, unable to get her footing, which allowed Rodriguez to deliver a thunderous Tejada bomb and pick up a big-time W.
00:57:36Much to the delight of the, much to the delight of the prodigy Roxanne Perez.
00:57:41What a win for Raquel and the entire Judgment Day.
00:57:49And the bad luck continues for Valkyria.
00:57:52Don't mention it, you got your back, brother.
00:58:01We've been about a long time.
00:58:03Anytime you hear this, let us know where he's got your back, right?
00:58:05Thank you, guys.
00:58:06I understand you're looking for me.
00:58:11Yes, come with me.
00:58:13Okay.
00:58:14When Penta comes to WWE, everybody loves Penta.
00:58:18Of course.
00:58:18Why you don't love Penta?
00:58:21Why don't I?
00:58:21What are you talking about?
00:58:22You know I love somebody every day.
00:58:23No.
00:58:24I am super impressed with you.
00:58:25Everybody is.
00:58:25You know that.
00:58:27And you know something?
00:58:30What?
00:58:30You're Intercontinental Champion.
00:58:32Please, give me a fiber shot.
00:58:39Because I will be champion.
00:58:41We, we, settle.
00:58:44Miefer.
00:58:44Pierce!
00:58:47Yes.
00:58:48You don't follow the plan.
00:58:50What plan?
00:58:50The plan.
00:58:51The will.
00:58:52The execution.
00:58:53Rusev returns.
00:58:54Rusev crushes Sheamus.
00:58:56Rusev becomes champion.
00:58:58The hell of a plan.
00:58:59You are wasting your time with some demons and clowns.
00:59:02Hey, Rusev.
00:59:05Calm down.
00:59:07Don't believe you much.
00:59:09I don't care if you've returned.
00:59:11And if you want someone,
00:59:13here I am.
00:59:15Okay, guys, listen, listen, hold on.
00:59:17Can we just back up a second?
00:59:18Getting in a fight back here gets everybody a fight.
00:59:21But if we have something to prove,
00:59:23I say we do it in the ring.
00:59:24Think about it.
00:59:25This is a hell of an idea.
00:59:26First time ever.
00:59:27Penta?
00:59:28Versus Rusev.
00:59:29Let's go.
00:59:30Tonight in Milwaukee.
00:59:31Let's go!
00:59:35Tonight in Milwaukee.
00:59:36It's a few.
00:59:36It's a few.
00:59:37It's a few.
00:59:37It's a few.
00:59:41Well, Pierce is a master chef tonight.
00:59:44Hey, after another shocking Chicago return in their family,
00:59:48now it's time for Magic in Milwaukee.
00:59:52AJ Lee is back on Raw.
00:59:55And it's next.
00:59:56Hey, Joe.
00:59:57Let's light it up.
00:59:59Let's light it up.
01:00:00What do you say?
01:00:24Wherever you're watching around the world,
01:00:26we are live in Milwaukee.
01:00:29And what a night it has been.
01:00:33Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats
01:00:34and observe a moment of silence
01:00:36for your boys,
01:00:38The New Day.
01:00:40Well, now that I'm being joined by you three,
01:00:52This is mourning Kingston.
01:00:54This is mourning Kingston.
01:00:55This is mourning Waller.
01:01:00And this is mourning Woods.
01:01:08And you better sign that right now, Vic.
01:01:12Sign it right now.
01:01:13Now that is a petition to ban Pence's Mexican destroyer.
01:01:16And after we force Vic to sign it, we're going to force every single person here to sign it, too.
01:01:25But rest assured, rest assured, rest assured, it's okay.
01:01:29We're going to make it easy for y'all.
01:01:31Because we know the people of Milwaukee and in Wisconsin in general have a very difficult time with your reading and your writing.
01:01:38My neck was damaged by Penta's Mexican destroyer.
01:01:46The most dangerous move in all of WWE.
01:01:49It has shattered many a vertebrae.
01:01:51It has slipped many a disc.
01:01:54Sign this petition.
01:01:55Now, we know that even though the people of Milwaukee are slack-jawed, inbred idiots.
01:02:12Even though we know the people of Milwaukee look as if their teeth do not touch when they chew their food.
01:02:21You should still be smart enough to understand that my health should be this company's number one priority.
01:02:34You see, Xavier Woods is a martyr.
01:02:40He has endured this suffering so that y'all don't have to.
01:02:44And y'all should be thankful for him.
01:02:46You should thank God for him.
01:02:47So you should take your terrible jaws, get down on your knees, raise your hands to the sky,
01:02:58and scream out in unison, thank God for the new day.
01:03:07Hey, WrestleMania is headed back to Vegas.
01:03:18And you can experience the nonstop excitement at WrestleMania 42 with On Location.

01:03:47CM Punk, A.J. Lee, they put on a show Friday night in Chicago.
01:03:51And in moments, the star power of A.J. Lee will be with us.
01:03:58Honestly, I didn't think anybody was gonna have my back.
01:04:07I didn't think I've had anybody.
01:04:09And you showed up, man.
01:04:10So if you need me, I'm there for you.
01:04:12We appreciate it.

01:04:27Hey, yo, yo, yo. Where you going?

01:04:35What play?
01:04:36What you mean, Oos?
01:04:37L.A. vs. Bronson Reed tonight.
01:04:39And they need our help.
01:04:40Oos, I don't give a damn about no L.A. night vs. no Bronson Reed.
01:04:43That ain't our problem no more.
01:04:45Brother Vision is our problem.
01:04:48You heard me?
01:04:52You saw what happened out there, Oos.
01:04:54Man tried to get me.
01:04:56I was supposed to let that slide.
01:04:58Make sure he good.
01:05:00What about me?
01:05:02What about us?
01:05:04Helping the L.A. night ain't gonna get us no Wrestle Palooza.
01:05:08Damn sure I ain't gonna help me get my World Heavyweight Championship back, Oos.
01:05:12You understand me? Look, you here now.
01:05:14Here's what we gonna do.
01:05:16We gonna make sure they all acknowledge us.
01:05:18Or we gonna smash all of them.
01:05:20Okay?
01:05:22All right?
01:05:24Man, you're not sounding like yourself, Oos.
01:05:30Kinda sound like Roman.
01:05:36Maybe sounding like myself ain't working.
01:05:38I can't see else guys.
01:05:39Yeah?
01:05:40Yeah?
01:05:4810mal cable.
01:05:52Yeah?
01:05:53I love you.
01:05:55Got my phone booked respect for the Railroad Burnoa.
01:05:57I'm on the triple rack, so I want to love you.
01:06:00You're gonna be involved with like a two-hour.
01:06:04Get that money in my place.
01:06:07Get that money in my place.
01:06:27Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome K.J. Lee!
01:06:44She is back and she is beloved.
01:06:47And that is Becky Lynch's intercontinental title championship around her waist, Corey.
01:06:54What's that old saying, Jones?
01:06:55Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
01:06:57Right now, A.J. Lee is wearing the intercontinental championship.
01:07:01And it doesn't sound like anyone in Milwaukee objects.
01:07:05That war.
01:07:07A.J. wrote on social media today, you've had my back for a decade.
01:07:10This one is for you, my wonderful weirdos.
01:07:12Kept you waiting, huh?
01:07:21Kept you waiting, huh?

01:07:57Kept you waiting, huh?
01:07:58Kept you waiting, huh?
01:07:59So for those of you who weren't here 10 years ago, and were really confused as to why your
01:08:14millennial parents were very excited on Friday, allow me to introduce myself.
01:08:24My name is AJ Lee.
01:08:36And I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
01:08:49And 10 years ago, I retired.
01:09:05I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling and I was content and I hung up my Chuck Taylors and I thought that was the end of my story.
01:09:27There was no way I was going to step back in a ring again, wearing jean shorts that are two sizes too small.
01:09:39I was so sure.
01:09:46And so I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life and I did it.
01:09:54But 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.
01:10:17I went to therapy, I got treatment.
01:10:30Therapy.
01:10:31Yeah.
01:10:32Here for therapy.
01:10:33Therapy.
01:10:50Fantastic.
01:10:52And 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.
01:11:26And then I watched Monday Night Raw.
01:11:33And look, healing isn't linear.
01:11:39Because it's one thing to see your husband fighting Drew McIntyre or Seth Rollins or John Cena.
01:11:52But it's another thing entirely to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch.
01:11:58Yeah, 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.
01:12:17I did it first, yes.
01:12:30I am everybody's favorite reference, I know.
01:12:36Back on track, back on track.
01:12:41There is a world in which me and Becky could have been friends.
01:12:47But then she had to go and motorboat my husband.
01:12:51She put her hands on him.
01:12:56She berated him.
01:12:57She defamed him.
01:12:58She defamed him.
01:12:59She...
01:13:27She defamed him.
01:13:33She defamed him.
01:13:36She defamed him.
01:13:39You don't want to be friends.
01:13:44This has nothing to do with your stank-ass husband.
01:13:51Hello?
01:13:56Is everybody insane?
01:14:03Has nobody noticed?
01:14:06Are you all stupid?
01:14:07Of course you are.
01:14:09You live in Milwaukee.
01:14:13She's wearing my title.
01:14:16That is my title.
01:14:24That is the title that I have made the most important title in the division.
01:14:28And you and me, we're nothing alike, okay?
01:14:31We are nothing alike because I, I, I...
01:14:35Shut up!
01:14:37Shut your face!
01:14:39I am the greatest female wrestler of all time!
01:14:44And it's not...
01:14:46You can boo me all you like.
01:14:52It's not just me saying it.
01:14:53Other people say it.
01:14:55Sports Illustrated says it.
01:14:57You suck!
01:14:58You suck!
01:14:59You suck!
01:15:00You suck!
01:15:01You suck!
01:15:02You suck!
01:15:03I, I, I do not suck.
01:15:05You suck!
01:15:06Because the Chicago Tribune says it.
01:15:08The Milwaukee Journal says it.
01:15:10You suck!
01:15:11You suck!
01:15:12You suck!
01:15:13You suck!
01:15:14You suck!
01:15:15You suck!
01:15:16You suck!
01:15:17You suck!
01:15:18You suck!
01:15:19I'm gonna need to go to therapy after this.
01:15:24And you, you do not deserve to put a finger on my title.
01:15:33Oh my God.
01:15:34It works, I swear.
01:15:43It's wonderful.
01:15:44I can, I have some names I can give you.
01:15:47This is so embarrassing.
01:15:49I completely forgot I was wearing this.
01:15:53Oh my God.
01:15:54For real.
01:15:55I've just been like skipping around the house all weekend in it.
01:15:58I slept in it last night, yeah.
01:16:02Things kind of got weird this morning when I was getting dressed.
01:16:05Cut the crap, cut the crap, okay?
01:16:08Do not put your grubby hands on my title.
01:16:11Becky, you're sporting quite the shiner there.
01:16:20My God, did I, was that me?
01:16:27Was that one of my tiny fists of fury?
01:16:29My God, I'm sorry.
01:16:30Sometimes I go feral and I black out.
01:16:33I'm so sorry.
01:16:34I didn't realize I did that.
01:16:35Um, but, I mean, you're tough since you are the greatest of all time.
01:16:51Why don't you come and get it?
01:17:03I am not a chicken.
01:17:08Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken.
01:17:18I am not a chicken.
01:17:20I am not a chicken.
01:17:23Okay, okay, okay, you listen to me, you Jersey trash bag weirdo, okay?
01:17:40You keep your hands off my title.
01:17:46I already had to bathe in bleach after touching your greasy husband, okay?
01:17:52Which, by the way, where is he, huh?
01:17:59What?
01:17:59Yeah, exactly, where is he?
01:18:14What kind of man hides behind his wife?
01:18:17Because this had nothing to do with you before he got you involved.
01:18:22This had everything to do with me and my husband and our family and our business and our vision,
01:18:30okay?
01:18:31You did not need to stick your neck in where it doesn't belong.
01:18:35In fact, actually, actually, why don't we, why don't we bring him out here?
01:18:38Why don't I show you what a proper man, what a proper champion looks like, huh?
01:18:44Why don't we get my hot husband out here, huh?
01:18:47Hit his music.
01:18:48ALONE WITNESS!
01:19:12I know, I know.
01:19:19Let me handle it.
01:19:23Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:24You both suck!
01:19:26You both suck!
01:19:29You both suck!
01:19:31You both suck!
01:19:33Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:19:36Hey!
01:19:39Hey, quiet down!
01:19:41Quiet down!
01:19:51Pump the brakes.
01:19:53Look, this is very simple.
01:19:55We can make this super easy.
01:19:57AJ, just give Becky her Intercontinental Championship back,
01:20:06and we can all leave this dump of a city as soon as possible.
01:20:12Very simple.
01:20:14Easy breezy.
01:20:16You want me to give the title back?
01:20:20Give it back.
01:20:21No, that's a really good idea.
01:20:23I didn't even think of that, to just give you the title.
01:20:25See how easy that is?
01:20:28Great idea.
01:20:29All right, hand it over.
01:20:30But I do, just real quick, we could do that.
01:20:32We could do that right now.
01:20:33But I have a better idea.
01:20:34Two options here, okay?
01:20:36One, Becky, you can come into this ring right now and take your title back, but you will risk me giving you another black eye on the other one.
01:20:50Or, or, I will give you this title, if you agree to a tag match.
01:21:11A.J. Lee and CM Punk versus Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
01:21:18Kicks are poisoned.
01:21:24Hold this, hold this, hold these.
01:21:28CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
01:21:36AJ, look. CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
01:21:40I know you've been gone 10 years, you don't understand how things work.
01:21:43Let me explain it to you.
01:21:45I am the world heavyweight champion.
01:21:54This is my show.
01:21:57These are my people.
01:22:01You've been back for a cup of coffee.
01:22:08You don't call the shots, I call the shots.
01:22:11So I'm going to come into this ring, I'm going to take that title, give it back to my incredible wife, and that's gonna be the end of it.
01:22:20Understand?
01:22:22Thanks for mansplaining that, everybody loves that.
01:22:24Very easy, very simple.
01:22:27All right.
01:22:55All right.
01:22:57You listen, and you listen real good.
01:23:02That does not belong to you.
01:23:08That is my title.
01:23:13This is me, my one.
01:23:15You don't get to hold it, Hopkins.
01:23:17You don't get to call the shots.
01:23:19I run the show.
01:23:20You understand me?
01:23:21Very easy, very simple.
01:23:23Just got very complicated for Seth Rollins.
01:23:28The world heavyweight champion just narrowly escaped the GTS.
01:23:33You guys hit the GTS, and he's voting the GTS.
01:23:45That's a great big man.
01:23:46They'll do a bunch of football games for the competencies.
01:23:47They'll do it, the tournament, the team, the team, the team, the team, the team.
01:23:50Hey, this doesn't work.
01:23:53Hey, you want a match?
01:23:56You got a match.
01:23:59All for acceptance.
01:24:00And Russell Palooza, you're all done for.
01:24:05We got to get him back.
01:24:07We got to put him into it.
01:24:09We got to put him into it.
01:24:11No.
01:24:15Oh, there goes the IC championship.
01:24:20Mixed tag team.
01:24:24Seth and Becky, Punk and AJ Lee.
01:24:27Look out, Russell Palooza, if it gets made official.
01:24:32Mixed tag team action.
01:24:35AJ Lee got exactly what she came out here wanting.
01:24:39I like that kind of trade offer.
