00:00WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
00:12We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
00:16So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
00:30It's time to double down Las Vegas, WrestleMania returns in 2026.
00:37Are you ready?
00:46Now get me off of this thing.
00:54WrestleMania 43 has found its home.
00:58WrestleMania is going to shine.
01:00For the first time ever, WrestleMania will be held outside of the United States in Canada.
01:08In 2027, we are proud to announce that WrestleMania 43 will take place in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh's season.
01:21This is very important for us.
01:23For the first time in our region, the big event is in our country.
01:30The pomp and circumstances that you always expect from WrestleMania are going to be off the charts.
01:35I think you can expect something like you have never seen before.
01:38WWE in partnership with the General Entertainment Authority today announced that Riyadh's season will host WrestleMania 43 in 2027 in Riyadh.
01:51Marking the first time that the cultural phenomenon will be staged outside of North America.
01:56The announcement of WrestleMania 43 coming to Riyadh in 2027 highlights the groundbreaking partnership between WWE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
02:06Since beginning in 2018, this collaboration has delivered record breaking events including Crown Jewel, Elimination Chamber, King and Queen of the Ring, Night of Champions, Friday Night SmackDown, and Monday Night Raw.
02:19The 39th annual Royal Rumble will be held in Riyadh this January broadcast live on ESPN platforms in the U.S. and Netflix globally.
02:30And this man has held the mega championship for 104 days.
02:39Could time be running low for Big Kingo as he defends against dirty Dominic Mysterio in our main event.
02:47What's the life fam? How you doing? Chewie Martinez here with New Day and Grayson Wilder.
02:52Is this a new look, y'all? What's happening?
02:54What's happening?
02:55Hang on, man. We didn't come here to talk about our look.
02:57We came here to win Tag Team Championship gold.
03:00You see that bald-headed tyrant Adam Pearce, the general manager on Raw, doesn't recognize our talents.
03:05But AAA, sir, does. And they gave us a chance to put another one on the stack.
03:10And tonight, we're gonna walk out of here as the new AAA Tag Team Champions, baby!
03:16All right. I'm hearing some grumblings, man. Can you do that one more time? Can you do that? Thank you.
03:20I'm hearing some grumblings, brother. What's going on tonight? Injured? What's happening?
03:24If you must know, because you want to get the big scoop, that masked mercenary Penta continuously hits me with these Mexican destroyers in an attempt to injure my neck.
03:32And guess what? Guess what? He finally did it.
03:35Yesterday at 11.30 a.m., I had to go and have surgery on my head.
03:40So I am unfortunately cannot compete tonight for the AAA Tag Team Championship.
03:44But less than 24 hours after having my head cut open, I got on an airplane risking blood cotton possible death in order to see my man Kofi Kingston and my man Grayson Waller fight for those championships.
03:56So no, I'm not fighting, but we're taking those titles anyway.
03:59All right, all right, all right. I gotta say, Woods, Kofi, this is a huge opportunity.
04:03Not only to stand next to the greatest tag team of all time, but I get to compete alongside you guys.
04:07And that's why tonight we're going to become combined 15-time tag team champions.
04:11It doesn't matter the psycho clown or Pagano or these tough Mexican wrestlers.
04:15It doesn't matter if the Woods is afraid of clowns.
04:17It doesn't matter.
04:18Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:19What matters is that we're ending these dangerous lucha moves.
04:22We are ending the destroyer.
04:23We're bending the destroyer.
04:24You need to sign this.
04:25Sign it.
04:26Sign it.
04:27Sign it.
04:29In English.
04:30It's in English.
04:31All right, all right.
04:32So you're saying you can't wrestle.
04:33That Mexican destroyer got you, huh?
04:35Yes, that mass mercenary, like I said, Penta has caused this problem.
04:39And so now we're making sure that that maneuver and all the rest of the dangerous maneuvers
04:43that happened down here in AAA don't occur anymore.
04:46We're here to save locker rooms.
04:47And matter of fact, we have work to go do.
04:49So we're done.
04:50Yeah.
04:51We're done.
04:52We're done.
04:53Can you sign this?
04:54Sign it again.
04:55You're a big boy.
04:56You should sign twice.
04:57I'll be a friend.
04:58Maybe the three.
05:04Are you guys ready to get nuts?
05:07100%.
05:08Well, hell yes we are.
05:10No!
05:11No!
05:12No!
05:17Me ola!
05:18Sie respond!
05:19The next competition is scheduled for a fall
05:38and it's for the matches in couples!
05:45Entrando primero, como un peso combinado de 441 libras, los campeones mundiales en parejas de triple A, Pagano y Psycho Clown.
06:03We are moments away from the second defense of the AAA Tag Team Champions, Psycho Clown and Pagano, Conan JBL.
06:11We have the honor of being ringside at Triple Mania when these two gentlemen dethroned Los Garza.
06:18John, how impressed were you at Triple Mania?
06:21I've been impressed with Psycho Clown ever since he came out of his daddy.
06:24Well, he had incredible charisma, was an incredible star.
06:27He and Pagano have been the heart and soul of AAA.
06:32Psycho Clown has headlined more Triple Manias than anybody in history.
06:36This duo defeated Laredo Kidd and Octagon Jr., who we saw in our opening contest.
06:43But Conan, I think I'm in the right state of mind to say Pagano and Psycho Clown are about to be put to the test like never before by one of the greatest tag teams ever.
06:52100% they're crowd favorites in Mexico, but right here, they're not in Mexico.
06:57And we're going to, and you know, Grayson Waller wants an opportunity for those Tag Team Champions that we heard.
07:05I wonder if Xavier will be in ringside and he might have something to do with the finish.
07:12Xavier is just a great human being.
07:15Wonderful human being.
07:17Oh, I'm not saying he's not.
07:18No, no, no, no, no, no, you're not, but what he's fighting through, all the things that he's had to do, the fact that he would get on a plane to risk his life after having head surgery.
07:30He's one of the greatest people on the planet, Xavier Woods.
07:33I mean, when you think of like Thomas Edison, Louis Pasteur, you think of Xavier Woods.
07:56And how great is it, for the sake of continuity, John, I'm going to ask that you refer to me as Curry Green for the duration of this matchup,
08:07because I too have been mourning alongside Woodland Kingston on Monday Night Raw.
08:11I am thankful of one thing, that that stooge Adam Pearce is too stupid to do the right thing, and we get to see New Day down here in AAA.
08:20Well, Pierce's loss could be AAA's gain, one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
08:26What a new day.
08:2814 titles, they got more than the freaking Road Warriors.
08:33They could potentially be AAA tag team champions for the first time in their careers.
08:39And Grayson Wilder comes in in boxing trunks, letting people know, hey, I'm on point like a decimal, I'm ready.
08:46Big G, they call him Big G.
08:50Big G, didn't there used to be a Big Other something letter in New Day?
08:55There was, but there's 25 other options, unless we were out of time.
08:59Doesn't matter.
09:00Obviously, it wasn't that great or anything.
09:03We got Big G!
09:05We got Big G!
09:06And we got allegations of Coolo-phobia, which is nothing to laugh about.
09:13The fear of clowns.
09:15We know that Grayson Wilder has wanted nothing more than to be fully accepted into the New Day.
09:36Hey, John, I think it's safe to say that a win tonight would go a long way toward Grayson's official entry into the New Day.
09:44I think you would, and it's something to try to attain, so you'll be part of the greatest group ever.
09:48I mean, these guys, 14 championships.
09:52Of course, Big G wants to be part.
09:54Look at Xavier.
09:56He looks fly.
09:57Even though he's sick, look at him.
09:59He looks beautiful.
10:00Looks like a bottle.
10:02Such a brave man.
10:04He is.
10:06Big G certainly inspired.
10:08I think if Grayson wins, they accept him into the team.
10:12And this is his chance.
10:13I don't know that I can disagree with you on that, Conan.
10:16Big G now back inside of the ring, squaring off with Psycho Clown.
10:21John, you're one half of one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
10:25How does your strategy differ when you're defending a title versus trying to win one?
10:30One thing is taken out of the equation.
10:31That is the disqualification.
10:33So all you've got to do is retain when you're champion.
10:36And believe me, these guys will figure out a way, if they can, to walk out of here no matter what.
10:40You have so many more options when you are champion.
10:43Did you see the series?
10:45Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute.
10:47Leave him alone, Psycho.
10:48Gratty's just have surgery.
10:50What?
10:51What is he doing?
10:54Xavier should float like that.
10:57He's looking, he's sick.
11:00I would say, Woods isn't sick.
11:02He's recovering from surgery that was caused by repeated Mexican destroyers, hence the petition.
11:07Yeah, you had to ban the Oxbaker heart punch for safety reasons.
11:12You might just need to ban the Mexican destroyer.
11:15Did you get the chance to sign that petition, John?
11:16I did.
11:17I signed it.
11:18I was happy to sign it.
11:19I talked to Xavier earlier.
11:21And no matter what anybody says, he is not afraid of clowns.
11:25Guys, look at Big G.
11:26Big G taking it into Psycho Clown.
11:29Yeah, he's doing lucha.
11:33Big G made it a point.
11:34Whoa!
11:35Look at that.
11:35Big G made it a point to tell me earlier today that he downloaded the Duolingo app and has been studying Spanish.
11:41He hasn't mastered the language yet, but he did manage to ask for milk at breakfast this morning.
11:45He learned one word.
11:46That's a start.
11:47Leche.
11:48That's all he learned.
11:49I was at breakfast when he ordered.
11:50He learned one word.
11:52And he studied for hours.
11:53He's got to start somewhere.
11:55That's how Kai just started.
11:56Oh, baby!
11:57That was great.
11:58That's how you do it.
12:00Why did you guys want to shake your hand?
12:03We've talked about that before, Jay.
12:05Yes, we did.
12:06They always fall for it.
12:07Grayson Waller borrowing a page out of the APA playbook.
12:13A straight right to the mug.
12:16Just easier that way.
12:19And now Psycho Clown in trouble.
12:23Kofi Kingston's got to be on the outside enjoying everything he's seen from Grayson Waller.
12:28He's got rocks, baby!
12:30So far, it's pretty easy for...
12:32We can't suck.
12:33We're winning.
12:34We're winning.
12:34We can't suck.
12:35We're the best acting on the planet.
12:36Oh, my God.
12:37Yeah, daddy.
12:38How great is Xavier Woods?
12:39He's even doing commentary here in the last.
12:41I think Woods might have a very bright future here at the desk.
12:43And he looks great doing it.
12:45Oh!
12:45Big kick by Pagano, the proud center.
12:48One of the most chaotic stars in all of Lucha Libre.
12:51ECW had Sandman.
12:53Oh, ho!
12:54Triple-A's got Pagano.
12:55This man is...
12:56I love that comparison.
12:57He is wild.
12:59Pagano's not going to score any style points, but he is going to hurt you.
13:03And Waller...
13:06Pagano don't carry if he lands on his head, if he misses a moonsault from the balcony, which
13:12has happened.
13:13And Tony, you told me that's what's endeared Pagano to the fans of Lucha.
13:15To the people, right?
13:17Yeah.
13:17Because he puts his body on the line.
13:21Now, Kofi Kingston reluctantly entering the contest.
13:24They put very disrespectful.
13:25Big G passing on me.
13:27Hey, I actually signed it once, but if I...
13:29I'm an outside neighbor.
13:30Yeah, Tony, there you go.
13:31You don't want any more Mexican destroyers, right?
13:33Very unsafe work environment.
13:38Look at Kofi.
13:40Look, Mr.
13:41Hey, Xavier.
13:42If you look at the back of Wood's scalp, you can see the incision from where he had...
13:46Hey, Xavier.
13:47I broke the size of a chicken nugget.
13:49You look great.
13:49I'd like to say that.
13:50You look fly.
13:51Yes, you look great.
13:53All right.
13:54Well, we got some more signatures for you, Woodsy.
13:56Oh, my God.
14:00I mean, this will go down in wrestling.
14:02Legendary lore with Xavier Woods being here with a big hole in his head.
14:08You were right.
14:09It's almost like the night that Stone Cold won the Intercontinental Championship with a broken neck.
14:15Or Kurt Angle won the Olympics.
14:17Kurt Angle won the gold medal with a broken neck.
14:23Look at Kofi Kingston go.
14:25Oh, reminding the world that he's still got it.
14:29Kofi Mania's back.
14:32Did you see Kofi's ant kicks?
14:35Did you say ant kicks?
14:37Yeah, as in Anthony Edwards.
14:39Oh, my God.
14:42Vicious takedown by Pagano.
14:44Something of a belly-to-belly.
14:46Here comes Psycho Clown.
14:48Yeah, he thinks he's in Mexico where the heels can go in and do whatever they want.
14:52But even the United States are good moves.
14:54Oh, they're letting him go.
14:55Could that be a disadvantage, Conan?
14:57The unfamiliarity?
14:58Yeah, but they let him in.
14:59Look at this.
15:00Our official understanding that difference of culture is difference of rule sets.
15:04Yes, that could be a disadvantage.
15:05Yes.
15:08Vicious tag team offense by Pagano and Psycho Clown.
15:14Woods out here irate beside himself begging for a five count.
15:17Yeah, and he has every reason to be.
15:20I agree.
15:21I agree.
15:24Psycho Clown positioning Kofi Kingston for something big.
15:27What's the Clown going to do?
15:30Clown won't play on.
15:34Beautiful split-legged moonsault into the cover.
15:38Maybe a bit of an arrogant cover by Psycho Clown.
15:41A little bit of overconfidence.
15:42I would agree with that.
15:43Off of the split-legged moonsault.
15:45Especially, Conan, when you're dealing with somebody as decorated as Kofi Kingston.
15:50People forget he was a WWE champion.
15:52You're absolutely right.
15:55Tag team champion.
15:56One of the greatest times I had seen with Kofi Mania.
16:00It literally swept the world.
16:02Remember it vividly.
16:04Moved up just in time.
16:05Stops Kofi in his tracks.
16:06But Big G from behind.
16:10Great teamwork.
16:10That is spectacular.
16:12Tag teamwork.
16:13For guys that have been together a very short time.
16:18Yeah.
16:18It just goes to show that Gracie Waller has an aptitude for tag team wrestling.
16:22Unfortunately, Waller was left high and dry by his former partner.
16:26And the New Day were gracious enough to accept him into theirs.
16:29It's like taking in a rescue pet.
16:31He's in great shape, too.
16:33The Aussie icon.
16:34Goodwin Xavier.
16:38I think he's from England or something.
16:41Goodwin's is a very busy man.
16:42As you can understand, he's dealing with injuries.
16:44He does.
16:45In great life.
16:45Shocking the Spanish announcing.
16:48I love it.
16:49Stop him.
16:50Stop him.
16:50Waller just teeing off now on a fallen psycho clown in the bottom turnbuckle.
16:54As long as he's third table in danger.
16:58Kofi now with the beginnings of what traditionally was known as a unicorn stampede.
17:05But now Waller picking up where Kofi left off.
17:09Great teamwork.
17:10I don't know if they have unicorns in Australia, John.
17:12Do you?
17:13I haven't seen any.
17:14I haven't been there.
17:15I've been to Aluru.
17:15They have stopped a literal mud hole in Cycle.
17:22And this is the time to do a double team move and beat them.
17:27Psycho clown is right for the pickings right now.
17:30Cover here by Big G for the championships.
17:33Big move.
17:33Bigger move than that.
17:34Conan, what would it mean to AAA and Lucha Libre as a whole if the New Day were to capture AAA gold tonight?
17:40I think a lot of people would be sad because they are crowd favorites and kid favorites.
17:49Pagano and Psycho.
17:50Lots of crying children.
17:53It certainly brings delight to the New Day.
17:56You can see Pagano looking on, feeling helpless right now.
18:00John, what, if anything, can Psycho Clown do at this point in the matchup to get back in it?
18:05The problem that it has is the ring is being cut off.
18:07And it's being cut off perfectly.
18:08And it's kind of surprising because Big G is not used to tagging with Kofi.
18:13But what you're seeing is the ring being cut off.
18:15And that's what you've got to stop.
18:19You think that's APH style, JBL Xavier?
18:22A hundred percent.
18:24This is what Psycho Clown has found.
18:26The problem is there's no one home.
18:27Pagano's been neutralized on the outside.
18:32Psycho Clown with no one to tag in his most desperate moment.
18:38Kofi Kingston from behind looking to capitalize.
18:42Big jumping Tiger knee.
18:46Kick into the cover for the title.
18:50Whoa.
18:51That was close.
18:52That was close.
18:54It doesn't get any closer than that without the bell ringing, gentlemen.
18:58Big G almost bringing gold back to the New Day.
19:02I mean, they have brought the heat to Psycho and he's still kicked out.
19:06Psycho's barely moving in the middle of the ring.
19:08I mean, this looks bleak.
19:10It looks bleak.
19:11Going for a home run right here.
19:13We're about to have new champions and this gets in.
19:15Here we go.
19:18Psycho somehow got up.
19:21That's four fists, John.
19:23I think that constitutes clubbering.
19:26That's clubbering.
19:27The people are feeling they do not like them.
19:32The atmosphere here inside the arena has gotten very, very different in the past several minutes.
19:36It's uncomfortable in here all of a sudden.
19:39But Kofi Kingston, the veteran, utilizing all of his weight to stagnate Psycho Clown's trip toward his own corner.
19:48Look at Pennywise.
19:49Look at Doink.
19:50I mean, clowns have traditionally been very evil.
19:52I understand that sometimes they've got to be beat up.
19:57Are you not a fan of clowns, JBL?
19:59I am not.
20:00I don't have a phobia like Kofi may or may not.
20:04Coolrophobia is the medical term.
20:06I think Xavier has a phobia.
20:11Are you afraid of clowns, Corey?
20:13I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but I've never really been a fan.
20:16Okay.
20:17Particularly when they're trying to use hardcore weapons on me as Psycho Clown does.
20:21If you ever saw Brooklyn Roller's Doink, you'd be afraid.
20:24I was more of a Skinner Doink guy.
20:29Kofi positioning Psycho on the top turnbuckle.
20:34I think at this point, the new day can taste victory.
20:37Oh, look at Kixson.
20:37She's ripping the mask.
20:38He's trying to rip these sacred masks.
20:40He's ripping the mask.
20:41That's disrespectful.
20:42It's the ultimate disrespect in the world of Lucha, Conan.
20:44You know that.
20:45100%.
20:46Superkick drops Big G.
20:50Credit to Psycho Clown for continuing to fight against all odds.
20:54From the top, crossbody drops Kingston.
20:59Yeah, hit him with a Blanchard, bounced off.
21:01You should be on in the Kingston's movie.
21:04Take another look.
21:06Psycho Clown able to dig down deep enough to deliver that crossbody.
21:10But what Psycho needs more than anything right now is a tag to the fresher Pagano.
21:19Whoa.
21:20And Zagiri rocks Kofi.
21:22Here he comes.
21:23Pagano legal.
21:26Grayson Waller, you can't see it.
21:27It's hurt right down here, right in front of us.
21:29He is not available.
21:31Kofi may be on his own.
21:32Here you see that frantic style of Pagano on display.
21:36Big right hand.
21:39Like a one-man mosh pit.
21:45Pagano has Big G set.
21:47Boop to Kingston.
21:49Swinging neckbreaker.
21:54Pagano evening the odds for his team.
21:59Muscling up Kofi Kingston.
22:00Kofi Kingston.
22:02Oh, man.
22:05Cover to retain.
22:07Wow.
22:09Wow.
22:11I've been surprised twice in this match when I was over.
22:14The version of the Emerald Frozen.
22:16A la Mitsuharu Masawa.
22:19Driving Kingston on top of his head.
22:22But unable to procure the win just yet.
22:24Look at Pagano.
22:25Because of the tope.
22:27Oh, whoa.
22:29Whoa.
22:30Look at this.
22:31Look at this turn of events.
22:46Pagano sacrificing himself.
22:48You find it out.
22:49Look at this.
22:50Oh, these guys are Triple-A Tag Team Champions.
22:54Psycho going through reduced space.
22:56Landing on his face and still walking away like nothing.
22:59It's the testament, Conan, to what the Triple-A Tag Team Championships mean to these guys.
23:04Our official having all types of trouble keeping this one in order.
23:12I think basement kick for both.
23:17Give a side of the head.
23:18From Pagano.
23:20Double impact by the champions.
23:22Can they close the deal?
23:24Cover on Kingston.
23:27And Big G.
23:29Big G earning his money.
23:35Big G, a former WWE Tag Team Champion in his own right.
23:39Dumped to the outside by Psycho Clown.
23:41Kofi Kingston in need of a tag.
23:43Pagano once again legal for his team.
23:46Kofi's all alone.
23:48Pagano spending a lot of time, guys, making the climb.
23:52Wait a minute.
23:52Look at Xavier.
23:53Woods risking life and limb to distract Pagano and Kofi.
24:00He's basically telling Pagano that he have his papers because Isis is around here.
24:04He's giving him good advice.
24:07We're playing with fire tonight, K-Dawg.
24:10From the top turnbuckle, Kingston has Pagano hooked.
24:14Wait a minute.
24:15Wow.
24:15Super flex.
24:16He's still got him over.
24:18Mom by elbow.
24:20On the money.
24:21New champions.
24:22New champions.
24:24No.
24:25He just barely got out of that.
24:28Pagano running on instinct alone.
24:31Able to get the shoulder up at the last possible second to preserve the AAA Tag Title reign.
24:42I mean, this has been back and forth and back and forth.
24:45It's really a seesaw tag team battle.
24:47Neither team able to sustain much of an upper hand for the past several minutes.
24:52Well said.
24:55Waller now looking for the Hail Mary.
25:00Look at Psycho Cloud having his hand.
25:03Wow.
25:04Who's belt is that?
25:06Is that Psycho's?
25:07Yeah.
25:08Is that legal at AAA?
25:09Yes.
25:10Yes.
25:11He does it all the time.
25:13And it fires him up.
25:14I have a feeling the New Day are going to have to whip the competitions.
25:16Wait a minute.
25:16Xavier.
25:17Oh, he's whipping the mask.
25:26Psycho Cloud just tore his own face off.
25:30Woods hightailing it out of here.
25:31Yeah, he don't like Clown.
25:37Holy Mexican destroyers!
25:40That's why they should be banned.
25:42Oh, they're still legal.
25:45It's Psycho Cloud now.
25:46Looked like he was going to cover Waller for a moment, but thought the better of it.
25:54Brie O'Gorana takes out Kofi.
25:58That's a big guy doing that.
26:00It sure is.
26:02Psycho has Big G up.
26:06And that may have just turned Big G's lights clean out.
26:09The Maestro Cradle, shoulder down, to retain the title.
26:18End it.
26:18Wow.
26:20Wow.
26:21Los ganadores y todavía sigue siendo los campeones mundiales en parejas de AAA, Pagano y Psycho Cloud.
26:33What a battle, gentlemen.
26:36From the opening bell.
26:37What a display of grit, determination, and toughness from the AAA Tag Team Champion, Psycho Cloud, and Pagano.
26:46Nothing against Big G, because we can all agree he showed out.
26:50But I wouldn't mind seeing Xavier Kofi against Tag Team Champions.
26:55We may get that date somewhere down the line, but here's where it all went south for poor Xavier Woods.
27:01Several hours post-surgery, seeing something like that live and in living color will give you nightmares for days.
27:09As will the risk-taking ability of Pagano and La Maestro Cradle, an old classic, picking up the win for the AAA Tag Team Champions, Psycho Cloud and Pagano.
27:24Psycho Cloud and Pagano, once bitter enemies, have become an incredible team.
27:28I want to see where it would be tonight.
27:30AWAII
27:47very much
