00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and after a weekend of brats 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.
00:00:54He smells blood, he knows it's coming, he knows it's his moment.
00:01:00Oh my goodness, who the...
00:01:04Becky Lynch!
00:01:08Seth Rollins' wife saved the championship for Rollins!
00:01:16Chicago!
00:01:20Welcome to the big time!
00:01:22I give you the man, Becky Lynch!
00:01:29Oh, classic Chicago!
00:01:32Classic Chicago!
00:01:35I wouldn't expect you to know what greatness looks like!
00:01:39All your teams suck, and CM Punk sucks!
00:01:45I'm surprised you came out here and showed your face, aren't you?
00:01:51Are you embarrassed?
00:01:52I don't have anything to be embarrassed for, unlike your coward of a husband, hiding in a
00:02:01skybox, and now hiding behind his wife.
00:02:04I think...
00:02:05What are you gonna do about it, huh?
00:02:07What are you gonna do?
00:02:08What are you gonna do?
00:02:09What are you gonna do?
00:02:10Huh?
00:02:11You gonna do something about it?
00:02:13Becky?
00:02:14Becky, this is exactly the situation I wanted to avoid, because you know I would never put my
00:02:20hands on a lady.
00:02:21Thankfully, I got somebody who will.
00:02:26A.J. Lee!
00:02:31A.J. Lee!
00:02:32CM Punk's wife is here!
00:02:34A.J. Lee!
00:02:35After a decade, is back!
00:02:36A.J. Lee!
00:02:37Take it into Becky Lynch!
00:02:38A trailblazer with a payback to Becky Lynch!
00:02:40A.J. Lee!
00:02:41A.J. Lee!
00:02:42A.J. Lee!
00:02:43A.J. Lee!
00:02:44A.J. Lee!
00:02:45Take it into Becky Lynch!
00:02:46A.J. Lee!
00:02:47A.J. Lee!
00:02:48Take it into Becky Lynch!
00:02:49A trailblazer with a payback to Becky Lynch!
00:02:53Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch don't know what to think!
00:03:03Welcome back, A.J. Lee!
00:03:14And arriving here in Bruce City, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, the man,
00:03:18Becky Lynch, for she's the Intercontinental Champion.
00:03:22But no title in hand.
00:03:24A.J. Lee grabbed it, and for the first time in more than a decade, A.J. Lee returns to
00:03:28RAW tonight as we're at the Loud and Rockin' Five Serve Arena here in Milwaukee!
00:03:4112 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.
00:03:52God bless.
00:03:543, 9, and 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, and a day over.
00:03:56of
00:04:22Oh, together again.
00:04:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jimmy and main event, Jay the ULTOW.
00:05:15It feels like day one all over again.
00:05:19The goal is right in the world.
00:05:22Jimmy and Jay Uso reunited, making their way toward the ring to kick off Monday Night Raw.
00:05:29No doubt about it, Corey, the 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.
00:06:01Of course, this is a football crazy state and football season and time of the year when our broadcast assignments switch up just a little bit.
00:06:24Joe Test.
00:06:25Joe Test.
00:06:26With you.
00:06:27Wade Barrett on a well-deserved vacation.
00:06:28But the man who does everything in our company is right here.
00:06:30Corey Graves.
00:06:31My man is so great to be with you.
00:06:32It's so weird.
00:06:33The internet told me that Wade has been exiled from far away 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, still looking to bring the fight.
00:07:06Nearly speared in half by Breaker.
00:07:09And then Jey Uso crushed under the weight of a tsunami.
00:07:14But when Jey had no one left to turn to, you can always count on family.
00:07:19I want you!
00:07:20I want you!
00:07:22I want you!
00:07:23I want you!
00:07:24Come here!
00:07:25I want you!
00:07:26I want you!
00:07:27I want you!
00:07:28I want you!
00:07:30Thank you!
00:07:32.
00:07:37Thank you forло!
00:07:39Thank you for the fact that the political categories of Israel I do,
00:07:42can't reject you in a pile in thefr lazımorman,
00:07:47Right back to it.
00:07:59They wanted it.
00:08:00They're getting it.
00:08:01And 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.
00:08:27You call it that.
00:08:31I said the Usos are now in your division.
00:08:54Seth Rollins.
00:09:03The Brawnies.
00:09:05The Brawnsons.
00:09:08The Brussos.
00:09:09Brawnbreaker.
00:09:10Brawnson Reed.
00:09:12Y'all messed up.
00:09:14You screwed up, Boose.
00:09:16No, the dangerous duo of destruction for the vision.
00:09:32The tribal thief, Bronson Reed.
00:09:35The badass Brawnbreaker.
00:09:37Out here looking for trouble already.
00:09:44They find it so easily week after week.
00:09:55Hey, 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.
00:10:06Who's?
00:10:07The vision runs Monday Night Raw.
00:10:10The 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.
00:10:31Not tonight.
00:10:48Not tonight.
00:10:48Tonight, all I want from Roman's family is to acknowledge their tribal thief.
00:11:02Big 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!
00:11:50We don't need to listen to these people.
00:11:52And we're 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.
00:12:13Hey, how about you shut your mouth when you talk about the OTC?
00:12:16Hey, Braun Breaker, to answer your question, yeah, Big Jim, know where I'm at.
00:12:26I'm right here on Monday Night Raw.
00:12:32Hey, 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 PBJ and J Security.
00:12:43Hey, we know who you two punks are.
00:12:48Let me remind you who's standing in the ring.
00:12:50You the twos.
00:12:51And we the...
00:12:54I don't know where irks me more.
00:12:57I don't know where irks me more.
00:12:58Either 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?
00:13:06Yo, yo, I got you.
00:13:08You're taking orders from Paul Heyman, a.k.a. the advocate, a.k.a. the wise man, a.k.a. the orca.
00:13:16He built like one, a.k.a. in the work.
00:13:19He is, he is.
00:13:22A.k.a. the words of the tribal chief.
00:13:26Dumbass!
00:13:26I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell 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.
00:13:44And guess it?
00:13:45It's Breaker and Big Cam Bronson Reed.
00:13:48At Russell Palooza, you're going against the best damn tag team in the game.
00:13:52Jimmy and Jay, the OOSO!
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:59Hey, but check it out, Milwaukee.
00:14:01We ain't even got to wait.
00:14:02We getting jiggy right now.
00:14:05Hey, talk to him.
00:14:07Roll letters.
00:14:08Roll letters.
00:14:10O.K.P.
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 tonight?
00:14:23Of course, LA 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 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 after last week's brutal attack.
00:14:48Wait a minute.
00:14:49Whoa, OOSO!
00:14:50There he goes flying!
00:14:53Big Jim and Main Event J bringing the fight to Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker.
00:15:00What an announcement.
00:15:02Wrestle Palooza.
00:15:03Get ready.
00:15:06Each delivering blow after blow to Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:11Reed and Breaker in the unfamiliar position of being outnumbered right now.
00:15:15And here's Breaker back in the midst.
00:15:23Superkick Lance Blush.
00:15:27Big Bronson trying to gather himself.
00:15:29He wanted to put the BFT.
00:15:30Oh, and a moment of hesitation, costly.
00:15:40Reed goes flying out of the ring after the superkick from Jimmy.
00:15:43Of course, the recent actions between Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed.
00:16:00The attack a week ago that we showed you.
00:16:04You can see still a little bit of a communication issue arguing between LA Knight and Jey Uso.
00:16:11You know what happened in Paris.
00:16:12There's still plenty of tension between Jey Uso and LA 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 Wrestle Palooza.
00:16:25Wrestle Palooza, 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 his 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.
00:16:52El 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 Luchadors.
00:17:04Dirty Dom to deliver a frog splash.
00:17:07And still.
00:17:12Dirty Dom to the King of the Luchadors.
00:17:42Weighted for 220 pounds.
00:17:45The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:17:51You 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.
00:17:57He 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.
00:18:07Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:18:09From here live in Hill Rock.
00:18:11Blue-Colour boys do it with my hands running.
00:18:14Blue-Colour boys do it with my hands running.
00:18:29You
00:18:59No walk out ready to take somebody's head off
00:19:29Dominic 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
00:19:46to be honest with you, it could have been my fault.
00:19:52You see, for the first time in my career, I've got no one watching my back.
00:19:58Gallows, Anderson, they're not here.
00:20:05Meachin, 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, but
00:20:31arrest everybody.
00:20:32This is a commercial break.
00:20:33This is a commercial break.
00:20:34I'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.
00:20:55So that the person that doesn't want me here anymore can feel a little bit of his pain and mine also.
00:21:10They don't want none.
00:21:13They don't want none.
00:21:14They don't want none.
00:21:15They don't stand on it.
00:21:17They don't really want none.
00:21:19We should have the boys with the bomb of strength.
00:21:22Ain't nobody man to know.
00:21:24Hey, you don't want to miss John Cena's last time in Boston and New York.
00:21:33November 10th, November 17th.
00:21:35And tickets on sale Wednesday, September 10th by way of Ticketmaster.
00:21:39Free sales tomorrow, Tuesday, September 9th.
00:21:42Last time John Cena in Boston and in New York.
00:21:47That is a hot ticket.
00:21:51How many times are you gonna say?
00:21:52Well, I'm gonna say this many times until 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?
00:21:56I will handle it.
00:21:58L.A., L.A., we obviously saw what happened out there with the Vision and the Usos.
00:22:02Is it safe to assume that's why you were just arguing?
00:22:04I'll tell you what it's safe to assume.
00:22:05What 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.
00:22:13It'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 purpose?
00:22:26Huh?
00:22:27Are 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 wanna make it a problem, I ain't 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 LeBrons.
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 wanna 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.
00:23:10Thank you, Byron.
00:23:11I don't think anybody had Little Bronny and Charles Bronson mentions
00:23:13on their bingo card of 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.
00:23:22And his opponent, from the Gulf of America,
00:23:41weighed in for 202 pounds, El Grande Americano.
00:23:51El Grande Americano has had a lot of success on Monday Night Raw.
00:23:55Of course, his return to Raw since winning the tag team match
00:23:59with 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
00:24:08when 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.
00:24:19El 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.
00:24:26Styles eager to take his pound of flesh from El Grande Americano,
00:24:30who has drawn the ire of the Phenomenal One.
00:24:33AJ not waiting for the bell to ring, bringing the fight to the legendary Luchito.
00:24:37Big chop because he had him teed up against that barrier.
00:24:44And a right hand just buckles his knees.
00:24:47Got to feel a little bad for El Grande Americano, who was competing for Triple-A last night in Mexico.
00:24:52It's a 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.
00:25:09This is a man on a mission.
00:25:11Gets away from that big right hand.
00:25:16Pele kick.
00:25:17Pele kick lands well, and 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.
00:25:34The 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, and all of a sudden, the match goes south the other way
00:25:53after 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.
00:26:08On El Grande Americano.
00:26:11Mentioned 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.
00:26:17I'm not 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!
00:26:30How's AJ Styles supposed to compete with two?
00:26:33Oh, man!
00:26:34Oh, man!
00:26:35Did you see the way he went flying over the steel steps?
00:26:38His 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.
00:26:51It wasn't long ago that fans were shocked when another luchador came out and it happened again moments ago.
00:27:13A second Americano.
00:27:16Well, listen, Joe, you have to understand, when you were as wildly popular on a global scale as El Grande Americano is, you've got followers.
00:27:22You've got people who want to imitate you, who want to follow 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.
00:27:44Americano able to weather the early emotional storm from AJ Styles.
00:27:50And the arrival of the second mysterious luchador was the Tide Turner.
00:27:54One, two, three.
00:28:07El Grande Americano, no doubt one of the most elegant luchadores in the history of Lucha Libre.
00:28:14A true pleasure to watch.
00:28:17AJ Styles still smarting, still stinging, still angry
00:28:23about what transpired in that Intercontinental Championship match.
00:28:27Styles to the heavens.
00:28:28Did you see the height from which he just dropped on his lower back?
00:28:33Into the cover, hook in the leg is El Grande.
00:28:37As the second Americano lingers out there on the floor,
00:28:42things turned around when that second Luchador came in and interfered
00:28:48as all that emotion, all that rage that had built up over the past week
00:28:52for AJ Styles came out before we even had the bell to start this match.
00:28:57And then all of a sudden the outside interference turned things around for him.
00:29:02AJ Styles was using his frustration to great effect.
00:29:05The problem is AJ allowed himself to have tunnel vision.
00:29:08Styles was only focused on the task at hand being Americano.
00:29:11Drop kick by Grande, looking for a cover.
00:29:15Ryan ended right here, hooking the leg, and again, AJ able to survive it.
00:29:24Now Grande stomping down on that hand.
00:29:29It's a smart strategy by Americano, realizing if you damage the arm, the hand,
00:29:33the forearm of AJ Styles, it may very well neutralize the threat
00:29:36of a phenomenal form.
00:29:38Trying to take away that cheap weapon.
00:29:41Make no mistake about it, AJ Styles knows many, many ways to hurt an opponent.
00:29:48Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:30:02A big crowd here at Five Serve Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:30:05Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves with you.
00:30:08AJ Styles came out and raged against El Grande Americano.
00:30:12And then all of a sudden, a second luchador, another Americano, Dos Americano, came in,
00:30:20interfered in, turned things around, there's the cover, and getting that right shoulder
00:30:24up as Americano jumps right back on top of Styles, Corey.
00:30:28While Americano may have gotten control of this matchup by controversial means, Americano has
00:30:34not slowed down.
00:30:35He has proven to be absolutely relentless, understanding you're not going to get a chance
00:30:39to put AJ Styles down once he makes a comeback.
00:30:41Well, Grande is undefeated on Monday Night Raw.
00:30:445-0.
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.
00:31:02Getting his feet underneath him.
00:31:06Oh, but he eats a big boot just when he thought he had a bit of momentum.
00:31:12And El Grande plays to the crowd every which way.
00:31:15Looking for the DDT.
00:31:16Oh, exploder!
00:31:17He reversed it.
00:31:18What a great counter by Styles.
00:31:20Tremendous counter by AJ Styles.
00:31:23Buying himself again some valuable time to recover after the onslaught of offense from
00:31:29El Grande Americano.
00:31:30You see the second, Grande, off to the side.
00:31:36He's critical in turning this match.
00:31:39But all of a sudden, AJ Styles.
00:31:41The will, the grit, the desire.
00:31:47Styles now with that phenomenal blitz.
00:31:49And that blitz puts down El Grande.
00:31:54The striking combination.
00:31:56And Styles now has gathered momentum.
00:32:00El Grande in all types of trouble.
00:32:04AJ Styles continuing to soldier forward.
00:32:06Muscling up the luchador.
00:32:08He's able to switch.
00:32:10He eats an elbow.
00:32:11El Grande.
00:32:12Trying to reposition himself.
00:32:13But look at AJ!
00:32:16Here it comes!
00:32:18Rack bomb!
00:32:19Into the cover!
00:32:21And a kick out by El Grande.
00:32:24That's got to be frustrating for AJ Styles.
00:32:26Styles reaching deep into his arsenal.
00:32:29Muscling up Americano.
00:32:30The disorienting spin.
00:32:32And most of all, the impact on landing.
00:32:35Stacked up the luchador's shoulders.
00:32:38But El Grande with a little too much left in the tank.
00:32:42Deep into the match.
00:32:43After everything that Styles took.
00:32:46And he's looking for it right here.
00:32:47But instead, El Grande.
00:32:49Able to back out.
00:32:51Joe, if you look at the bottom corner of our screen.
00:32:53It has just been made official.
00:32:55Wow!
00:32:55LA Knight.
00:32:56One-on-one with big Bronson Reed of the Vision.
00:32:58Still to come.
00:33:00Knight told General Manager Adam Pearce,
00:33:02Just give me a brawn.
00:33:04I don't care who it is.
00:33:05He was listing off every brawn.
00:33:07He's got a big Bronson Reed.
00:33:09LA Knight will be our main event here on Raw.
00:33:12Look at that!
00:33:13Oh my!
00:33:14The athleticism!
00:33:16El Grande!
00:33:17Americano!
00:33:18And AJ survives it!
00:33:21Take another look at this spectacular athleticism.
00:33:25Walking the rope for the greatest of ease
00:33:27into 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
00:33:34and turn it into a blockbuster.
00:33:37Nearly two-thirds across the ring.
00:33:40El Grande.
00:33:41Uh-oh!
00:33:41Oh, he's looking for the bomb, but instead...
00:33:42Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:43AJ, great wear with all by Styles.
00:33:46Dislogging the mask of Americano.
00:33:49And with that, an opportunity for Styles.
00:33:53AJ wants his...
00:33:54Oh, and up on the apron!
00:33:56Another Americano.
00:33:57What in the world!
00:33:58Dragon Lee!
00:33:59Dragon Lee is here to help out!
00:34:01What perfect timing!
00:34:03Dragon Lee!
00:34:04Run!
00:34:05Oh, and he sends those lions!
00:34:07Watch out, AJ!
00:34:08Oh, need a heads up!
00:34:10The roll-up!
00:34:11But instead, how about this sequence?
00:34:14Look at Styles!
00:34:15The technical skill!
00:34:16Right into the Styles Clash opportunity!
00:34:20Are you kidding me?
00:34:22What skill?
00:34:24What technique?
00:34:25Here is your winner, the phenomenal AJ Styles!
00:34:35How many guys can do that, Corey?
00:34:39One.
00:34:40The phenomenal one.
00:34:43AJ Styles.
00:34:45Able to get past El Grande, Americano, and company.
00:34:49Thanks to an assist by a man called
00:34:52The Future of Lucha Libre by Rey Mysterio himself.
00:34:56The red-hot Dragon Lee.
00:34:58Which, after an incredible technical exchange
00:35:03by both Americano and Styles,
00:35:05AJ rolls through, muscles up the luchador,
00:35:09and old faithful, the Styles Clash.
00:35:12Thanks for coming, Americano.
00:35:15What a win for a very focused AJ Styles.
00:35:20And great for Dragon Lee to neutralize him there.
00:35:24Well, while we're talking about Lucha, Joe,
00:35:29big things going down this week.
00:35:32WWE AAA Worlds Collide on Friday from Vegas.
00:35:36It's gonna feature a main event
00:35:37for the AAA Mega Championship
00:35:39between Dirty Dom Mysterio and Vakingo.
00:35:42That is something.
00:35:44And you see, tickets are on sale now.
00:35:47That will air on YouTube.
00:35:49And, Corey, you will be all over that, my man.
00:35:51I cannot wait.
00:35:52Let's go to Vegas, baby.
00:35:56Anyway, the bottom line, EO,
00:35:58is Stephanie back there
00:35:59was a little underlaw tonight.
00:36:01I don't have a choice.
00:36:03I have to cancel the contract signing.
00:36:05Well, what about the title match?
00:36:07Well, what's interesting?
00:36:09Hi.
00:36:09Hi.
00:36:09Hi.
00:36:10Yeah, I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:36:11Are there any updates on Stephanie?
00:36:13Funny enough, I was just telling EO
00:36:15canceling the contract signing,
00:36:17but I see no reason why Stephanie
00:36:18won't be ready to go for the title match
00:36:20at Russell Palooza.
00:36:20Everybody can rest easy.
00:36:21Okay?
00:36:22Oh, it sounds great.
00:36:23Awesome.
00:36:24Excuse me.
00:36:24Yeah, definitely.
00:36:25Have a great Monday.
00:36:26You too.
00:36:27Oh, my gosh, that's great.
00:36:28Yeah.
00:36:28Yeah.
00:36:29I mean, you and Stephanie
00:36:30are going to have such a good match
00:36:31for the women's world title.
00:36:33Oh, I'm going to jump on it.
00:36:34I'm going to jump on it.
00:36:35You can't leave, Nikki.
00:36:36Um, excuse me, Asuka.
00:36:40I was in the middle of having a conversation with EO.
00:36:43Stay away from EO.
00:36:45You have nothing to say to her.
00:36:48Uh, actually, I do.
00:36:50And you know what?
00:36:51Asuka, you don't have to like me,
00:36:53but you will respect me.
00:36:55Respect?
00:36:56Respect?
00:36:56Oh, how about I beat the respect out of you tonight?
00:37:07You're on.
00:37:09It feels hot.
00:37:18I'm sorry.
00:37:27The Asuka's a lot.
00:37:29A lot.
00:37:30So the opening was created for both women
00:37:32when Naomi made her proceed with caution,
00:37:35baby on board announcement,
00:37:36and both were lined up for a title shot.
00:37:38And now, Stephanie Bacare, EO Sky
00:37:40will face each other for the gold.
00:37:43Wrestle Palooza, September 20th.
00:37:46Netflix internationally in the U.S.,
00:37:48the enhanced ESPN app.
00:37:50Enhanced ESPN app.
00:37:53How about that interaction between Asuka and Nikki Bella?
00:37:56Wow.
00:37:57Adam Pearce certainly has his hands full tonight.
00:38:00Go!
00:38:02Go!
00:38:03Go!
00:38:08The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:38:13Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland,
00:38:18Lyra Valkyria!
00:38:22Now, she's taken on every challenge thrown at her.
00:38:24And after the brutal rivalry with Becky Lynch,
00:38:28Lyra Valkyria just wants back to business inside the ropes.
00:38:31It is Lyra against Raquel Rodriguez when we come back.
00:38:35As this matchup is presented by Credit One Bank.
00:38:38Don't go anywhere.
00:38:40Lyra in action.
00:38:41Next on Raw.
00:38:42We await Wrestle Palooza, where we will crown a new Women's World Champion.
00:39:07I can guarantee you this, Joe.
00:39:08Lyra Valkyria will be keeping a close eye on that one.
00:39:12This woman who was once the Intercontinental Champion would love an opportunity
00:39:16to step toward the top of the mountain here on Monday Night Raw.
00:39:20I think she's proven herself so well this year.
00:39:23It wasn't in recent years, but specifically with some of the challenge she has stepped up to
00:39:28in this calendar year.
00:39:29The 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
00:39:40from Raw to SmackDown to NXT.
00:39:43The best of the best.
00:39:47It's interesting when you look at the women's division and you take in the perspective when,
00:39:51you know, we're sitting here with everybody buzzing about the return of AJ Lee
00:39:54on a night when we just saw Nikki Bella and you think about how much has evolved through
00:39:59the years and the kind of talent we have and the depth on the roster when you see somebody
00:40:04like Lyra.
00:40:05You're absolutely right.
00:40:06And Nikki Bella deserves the praise and the accolades.
00:40:09She was one of the pioneers that really led us to this point.
00:40:12But with that said, Nikki's found out firsthand.
00:40:14The game has changed.
00:40:16You leave for 10 years.
00:40:18Even AJ Lee is going to have to deal with the learning curve.
00:40:20Should she step back in between the ropes again?
00:40:23Just a little later on.
00:40:35And her opponent, accompanying Barak Santorez from Rio Grande Valley,
00:40:42Texas, representing the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:40:50Well, we're talking about the evolution of the women's division.
00:40:56Let's give a little respect to Raquel Rodriguez, Joe, who, in my opinion, might be the most
00:41:01improved 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.
00:41:10And, Corey, to your point, I love your opinion on this.
00:41:13Not just what she is physically, not just her skill, but the leadership she had to show
00:41:17this summer.
00:41:19Obviously, a five-time women's tag team champion.
00:41:21But then having to go about her business without the person she won the tag team championship
00:41:25with.
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.
00:41:34She's absolutely ready to be a major roadblock to Valkyria's ascent.
00:41:39Well, you know the headlines.
00:41:57Everybody talking about the return of A.J. Lee.
00:42:01The 178 million social views of A.J. Lee's return, the most new SmackDown highlight of
00:42:10the year on X and Instagram accounts for WWE.
00:42:15178 million social views.
00:42:18It's been an incredible career for A.J. Lee that now gets a second act after a 10-year
00:42:22gap.
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 liked about A.J. 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 got a new champion.
00:43:07A.J. 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.
00:43:20A.J. Lee is here.
00:43:35A.J. Lee, after a decade, is back.
00:43:40And 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 A.J. returned.
00:43:59Blew the roof off of Allstate Arena.
00:44:01Let's run it back tonight.
00:44:03A.J. Lee on Raw for the first time in over 10 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.
00:44:33Well, 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.
00:44:43And a win over Lyra could go a long way toward that.
00:44:45To your point, in a division that's ultra deep,
00:44:48everybody 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.
00:45:00And the game has truly changed.
00:45:02And it continues to change through 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.
00:45:20And he just announced prior to that,
00:45:21we have LA Knight and Big Bronson Reed made for our main event.
00:45:25Interesting strategy, and I want to ask you, obviously, the size differential we saw moments ago.
00:45:30Lyra trying to chop down Raquel a little bit.
00:45:33When it comes to technical abilities, 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,
00:46:00sometimes you've got to cut the oxygen off to get the upper hand.
00:46:03Oh, look at how she's able to turn it around into a vertical.
00:46:06But Lyra, out the back side, and comes trying to test that size and that power.
00:46:13And she's finding out as he's shoulder tackles.
00:46:15Coming up short.
00:46:16Cross body was caught, Corey.
00:46:18That's a test.
00:46:19Lyra'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.
00:46:26There 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.
00:46:49Now you 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 head.
00:47:30Oh, my.
00:47:33Look at this.
00:47:33Pulling on the hair and the leg.
00:47:36How is the body.
00:47:37The 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.
00:47:48And 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.
00:47:56Oh, the damage that the spine is taking here.
00:47:59Disrespect hooks the far leg.
00:48:01Able to survive it somehow.
00:48:04But you can see Lyra reaching for her back.
00:48:08Corey, 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.
00:48:28Continuing 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.
00:48:37She 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.
00:48:47How 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.
00:49:00When 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.
00:49:16Yeah, not just the pain that you have to endure.
00:49:19But 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.
00:49:42It 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.
00:49:54And 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.
00:50:09And 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.
00:50:16Raquel 6, 8, 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.
00:50:30And she is savoring that suffering for sure.
00:50:33And 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.
00:50:54That 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.
00:51:17As Rodriguez has been targeting that back.
00:51:20Just stretched her out over her shoulder.
00:51:22Canadian backbreaker.
00:51:23Oh, here's a counter and a roll-up by Lyra.
00:51:26But for many, many minutes.
00:51:27Whoa, whoa, look at this.
00:51:29That's almost like a modification on the Boston Crab.
00:51:31It's a crab with a reversed offensive position by the attacker.
00:51:36And more and more pain to that lower back.
00:51:39Remember, it was minutes ago.
00:51:41As now the front face left by Lyra's minutes 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.
00:51:53Rodriguez, great 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 the 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.
00:52:37Look at her go.
00:52:38Rallying an attack is Lyra Valkyria.
00:52:41And 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, kind 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.
00:52:58Getting on that second rope.
00:53:04Lyra looking for any left.
00:53:06Oh, the jumping DDT.
00:53:08There it is.
00:53:08She's doing it right here.
00:53:10Lateral press able 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 WrestlePalooza, which is 12 days away.
00:53:34John Cena and Brock Lesnar to battle.
00:53:37How about what we just found out earlier tonight per 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.
00:53:55Take another look at this superhuman power from Rodriguez.
00:53:59It was something 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 arched over the shoulder and runs her right into the corner.
00:54:22As if it's not bad enough to have all the lower back damage.
00:54:26She 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?
00:54:47I 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.
00:55:11As 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.
00:55:22High angle power bomb.
00:55:23But this one continues.
00:55:25Man, the inaugural intercontinental champion, Lyra Valperia.
00:55:31She is finding a way.
00:55:32And now possibly looking for her signature night wing.
00:55:35But remember the back.
00:55:36Remember the back, Corey.
00:55:38As 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.
00:55:52Meanwhile, you better turn around.
00:55:56Rodriguez wrapping her up.
00:56:00Lyra fiercely fighting with everything she's got left.
00:56:06Is it enough?
00:56:07Looking to kick her way free.
00:56:09Highly educated feet on Lyra Valkyria.
00:56:13Pin and combination.
00:56:13Look at this pin and combination.
00:56:15As she bridged it reverse style.
00:56:18And yet Raquel Rodriguez still got that shoulder up.
00:56:21I don't think it can be overstated just how naturally powerful Rodriguez is.
00:56:29That Enzigiri rocked the Judgment Day member.
00:56:34And now Lyra Valkyria with Rodriguez down and in the target zone.
00:56:41Is she thinking leg drop here possibility?
00:56:46We've seen it before out of her, but Raquel's back up on her feet.
00:56:50Lyra was struggling.
00:56:51He catches the footing.
00:56:52Oh, no.
00:56:53Tejana bomb.
00:56:55Will that do it?
00:56:56One, two, three.
00:57:01Here is your winner, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:57:08Credit where it's due.
00:57:10Lyra Valkyria fought valiantly with every fiber of her being.
00:57:15Including this massive running Enzigiri that certainly rocked Raquel.
00:57:21Unfortunately, Lyra's own body betrayed her.
00:57:24The back playing a factor yet again.
00:57:27Unable to get her footing.
00:57:28Which allowed Rodriguez to deliver a thunderous Tejana bomb.
00:57:33And pick up a big time W.
00:57:36Much to the delight of the, much to the delight of the prodigy Roxanne Perez.
00:57:42What 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, buddy.
00:58:01We've been about for a long time.
00:58:02Anytime you need us, let us know where he's got your back, right?
00:58:05Thank you, guys.
00:58:06I know that I will always talk to you and you with me, okay?
00:58:09Hey, man, I understand you're looking for me.
00:58:11Hey.
00:58:12Yes, come with me.
00:58:13Okay.
00:58:14When Penta comes to WWE, everybody loves Penta.
00:58:18Of course.
00:58:18Why do you don't love Penta?
00:58:21Why don't I, what are you talking about?
00:58:22You don't love somebody every day.
00:58:23No.
00:58:24I am super impressed with you.
00:58:25Everybody is, you know that.
00:58:26But I am not impressed with you, and you know something?
00:58:30What?
00:58:30You're Intercontinental Champion.
00:58:32You're a bitch.
00:58:33Please, give me a title shot, because I will be champion with Cero.
00:58:43Mierda.
00:58:44Pierce.
00:58:45Yes.
00:58:47You don't follow the plan.
00:58:49What plan?
00:58:50The plan, the will, the execution, Rusev returns, Rusev crushes Sheamus, Rusev becomes
00:58:57champion, and the hell of a player.
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, I'm here.
00:59:15Okay, guys.
00:59:16Listen, listen.
00:59:17Hold on.
00:59:17Can we just back up a second?
00:59:18Get in a fight back here.
00:59:20Gets everybody a fight.
00:59:21But if we have something to prove, I 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 versus Rusev.
00:59:29Let's go.
00:59:30Tonight in Milwaukee.
00:59:31Let's go.
00:59:35Tonight in Milwaukee.
00:59:36I feel like you choose a few.
00:59:37I'm so pretty important.
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.
00:59:51A.J. Lee is back on Raw.
00:59:55And it's next.
00:59:56Hey, Joe.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:58Let's light it up.
00:59:59Let's light it up.
01:00:00What do you say?
01:00:08A.J. Lee is back.
01:00:10B.J. Lee.
01:00:10A.J. Lee is back on Raw.
01:00:11exけれども at Raw.
01:00:12A.J. Lee is back on Raw.
01:00:12Wherever you are watching around the world, we are live in Milwaukee, and what a night
01:00:31it has been.
01:00:33Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and observe a moment of silence for your boys,
01:00:38The New Day.
01:00:42Well, now that I'm being joined by you three, I do have a question for you.
01:00:50Please have some respect for three men, clearly, in mourning.
01:00:53This is mourning Kingston.
01:00:58This is mourning Waller.
01:01:05And this is mourning Woods.
01:01:09And you better sign that right now, Vic.
01:01:11Sign it right now.
01:01:13That is a petition to ban Pence's Mexican destroyer.
01:01:18Yes.
01:01:19And after we force Vic to sign it, we're going to force every single person here to sign it, too.
01:01:26But rest assured, rest assured, it's okay.
01:01:29We're going to make it easy for y'all.
01:01:30Because 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, the 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 and do not let my sacrifice be in vain.
01:01:59Now, 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,
01:02:22you should still be smart enough to understand that my health should be this company's number one priority.
01:02:29You see, Xavier Woods is a martyr.
01:02:39He 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.
01:02:50So 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.

01:03:47CM Punk, AJ Lee, they put on a show Friday night in Chicago.
01:03:51And in moments, the star power of AJ Lee will be with us.
01:03:57Honestly, I didn't think anybody was going to have my back.
01:04:07I didn't think I've had anybody when you showed up, man.
01:04:10So if you need me, I'm there for you.
01:04:12We appreciate it.
01:04:14It's my name.
01:04:14AJ Styles.
01:04:16What up, baby?
01:04:17My dog.
01:04:18What's up, man?
01:04:19Canary!
01:04:19Canary!
01:04:20What's up, booze?
01:04:21Y'all seen Jay, man?
01:04:22Uh...
01:04:23Never mind.
01:04:24Ooze, I'll get with y'all.
01:04:26He's not the better looking one you are.
01:04:27You know that, right?
01:04:30Hey, yo, yo, yo.
01:04:31Where you going?
01:04:32You out, man.
01:04:33Out?
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:34Bro, we got a play to run.
01:04:35What play?
01:04:36What you mean, Ooze?
01:04:38LA versus Bronson Reed tonight.
01:04:39And they need our help.
01:04:41Ooze, I don't give a damn about no LA night versus no Bronson Reed.
01:04:44That ain't our problem no more.
01:04:46Bro, the vision is our problem.
01:04:48You heard me?
01:04:49You saw what happened out there, Ooze.
01:04:54Man tried to get me.
01:04:57I was supposed to let that slide.
01:04:59Make sure he good.
01:05:02What about me?
01:05:03What about us?
01:05:06Helping LA night ain't going to get us no Wrestle Palooza.
01:05:09Damn sure ain't going to help me get my World Heavyweight Championship back, Ooze.
01:05:13You understand me?
01:05:14Look, you here now.
01:05:15Here's what we're going to do.
01:05:17We're going to make sure they all acknowledge us, or we're going to smash all of them.
01:05:22Okay?
01:05:24Alright?
01:05:26Man, you're not sounding like yourself, folks.
01:05:30You kind of sound like Roman.
01:05:36Maybe sounding like myself ain't working.
01:05:38All right.
01:05:43I need some.
01:05:50All right.
01:05:55Well.
01:05:58All right, so I love you.
01:06:00You're gonna be involved with life.
01:06:02Gotta do it.
01:06:03Get that money in my place.
01:06:07I get that money in my place.
01:06:28Ladies 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, Joe?
01:06:55Possession is nine-tenths of the wall.
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 run is for you, my wonderful weirdos.
01:07:27B.J. Lee.
01:07:28A.J. Lee.
01:07:28I've wanted to give her a little好吃 –
01:07:29B.J. Lee.
01:07:30– I've also stayed in my childhood.
01:07:32What's your favorite?
01:07:32Kept your paintings, huh?
01:07:33Sorry.
01:07:34B.J. Lee!
01:07:35Sorry.
01:08:05So for those of you who weren't here ten years ago, and were really confused as to why your millennial parents were very excited on Friday, allow me to introduce myself.
01:08:23My name is AJ Lee.
01:08:35And I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
01:08:40And ten years ago, I retired.
01:09:05I said I was sorry, oh my God.
01:09:12I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling.
01:09:19And 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.
01:09:36I was so sure.
01:09:42And so I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life and I did it.
01:09:53But most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:09:57I wasn't healthy.
01:10:11I needed to take care of myself, get right.
01:10:16I went to therapy.
01:10:28I got treatment.
01:10:31Therapy.
01:10:32Yeah.
01:10:33Here for therapy.
01:10:35Therapy.
01:10:36Therapy.
01:10:37Therapy.
01:10:38Therapy.
01:10:39Therapy.
01:10:40Therapy.
01:10:41Therapy.
01:10:42Therapy.
01:10:43Therapy.
01:10:44Therapy.
01:10:45Therapy.
01:10:46Therapy.
01:10:47Therapy.
01:10:48Fantastic.
01:10:49And I found a way to turn all of this mental chaos into my superpower.
01:10:56And 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.
01:11:34And 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.
01:11:51But it's another thing entirely to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch.
01:12:05Yeah, I mean, look, I wanted to like Becky.
01:12:09I 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.
01:12:17She's a rebel.
01:12:18She's a rebel.
01:12:19She's a rebel.
01:12:20She's a rebel.
01:12:21She's a rebel.
01:12:22She's a rebel.
01:12:24She's a rebel.
01:12:25She's a rebel.
01:12:26I did it first, yes.
01:12:27I am everybody's favorite reference.
01:12:30I know.
01:12:32I am everybody's favorite reference, I know. Thank you.
01:12:40Back on track. Back on track.
01:12:43There's a world in which me and Becky could have been friends,
01:12:48but then she had to go and motorboat my husband.
01:12:54She put her hands on him. She berated him. She defamed him.
01:13:02She put her hands on him.
01:13:16I don't know.
01:13:22I'm spinning from the sand down a broken glass.
01:13:27I'm spinning down the city and they better go.
01:13:32This has nothing to do with your stank-ass husband.
01:13:51Hello?
01:13:56Is everybody insane?
01:14:00Has nobody noticed?
01:14:05Are you all stupid?
01:14:07Of course you are.
01:14:08You live in Milwaukee.
01:14:13She's wearing my title.
01:14:20That is my title.
01:14:23That 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...
01:14:36Shut up!
01:14:37Shut your face!
01:14:39I am the, I am the greatest female wrestler of all time.
01:14:44And it's not...
01:14:49You can fool me all your life.
01:14:51It'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!
01:15:03You suck!
01:15:04I 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!
01:15:19You suck!
01:15:20I'm gonna need to go to therapy after this.
01:15:24And you, you do not deserve to put a finger on my title.
01:15:29My God.
01:15:30It works, I swear.
01:15:42It's wonderful.
01:15:44I can, I have some names I can give you.
01:15:46This is so embarrassing.
01:15:49I completely forgot I was wearing this.
01:15:53My 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.
01:16:01Yeah.
01:16:02Things kind of got weird this morning when I was getting dressed.
01:16:05Cut the crap.
01:16:06Cut the crap.
01:16:07Okay?
01:16:08Do not put your grubby hands on my title.
01:16:15Becky?
01:16:18You're sporting quite the shiner there.
01:16:24My God, did I, was that me?
01:16:27Was that one of my tiny fists or fury?
01:16:29My God.
01:16:30I'm sorry.
01:16:31Sometimes I go feral and I black out.
01:16:33I'm so sorry.
01:16:34I didn't realize I did that.
01:16:35But, I mean you're tough since you are the greatest of all time.
01:16:44Why don't you.
01:16:45Come and get it.
01:16:46Why don't you.
01:16:51Come and get it.
01:16:59I am not a chicken, you are!
01:17:21I am not a chicken!
01:17:29Okay, okay, okay, you listen to me, you Jersey trash bag weirdo, okay?
01:17:43You keep your hands off my title, I already had to bathe in bleach after touching your
01:17:49greasy husband, okay?
01:17:52Which, by the way, where is he, huh?
01:17:58Yeah, exactly, where is he?
01:18:14What kind of man hides behind his wife?
01:18:17Because, because this had nothing to do with you before he got you involved, this had everything
01:18:23to do with me and my husband and our family and our business and our vision, okay?
01:18:32You 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?
01:18:47And his music.
01:18:51I know, I know!
01:19:02I know, I know!
01:19:04I know!
01:19:11Oh
01:19:41Quiet down
01:19:42Quiet down
01:19:44Pump the brakes
01:19:53Look
01:19:53This is very simple
01:19:55We can make this super easy
01:19:57AJ
01:19:58Just give
01:20:01Becky
01:20:02Her Intercontinental Championship back
01:20:06And we can all
01:20:08Leave this dump
01:20:10Of a city
01:20:11As soon as possible
01:20:13Very simple
01:20:15Easy breezy
01:20:17You 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
01:20:25To just give you the title
01:20:26See how easy that is
01:20:28Great idea
01:20:29Alright, hand it over
01:20:30But I do
01:20:31Just real quick
01:20:32We could do that
01:20:33We could do that right now
01:20:34But I have a better idea
01:20:36Two options
01:20:41Okay
01:20:41One
01:20:43Becky
01:20:45You can come into this ring right now
01:20:47And take your title back
01:20:48But you will risk
01:20:50Me giving you another black eye
01:20:52On the other one
01:20:53Where are my face?
01:20:56I could even add
01:20:57Where are my face?
01:20:59Yeah, get out of us
01:21:00Or
01:21:00Or
01:21:01I will give you this title
01:21:04If you agree
01:21:06To a tag match
01:21:08AJ Lee
01:21:14And CM Punk
01:21:15Versus

01:21:45I am the world heavyweight champion
01:21:51This 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
01:22:10I call the shots
01:22:11So I'm going to come into this ring
01:22:14I'm going to take that title
01:22:16Give it back to my incredible wife
01:22:19And that's going to be the end of it
01:22:21Understand?
01:22:23Thanks for mansplaining that
01:22:24Everybody loves that
01:22:25Very easy

01:22:58And you listen
01:23:00Real good
01:23:01That
01:23:06Does not belong to you
01:23:08That is my title
01:23:11This is me
01:23:14You don't get to hold it
01:23:17You don't get to call the shots
01:23:19I run the show
01:23:21You understand me?
01:23:22Very easy
01:23:23Very simple
01:23:24Just got very complicated
01:23:26For Seth Rollins
01:23:27The world heavyweight champion
01:23:30Just narrowly escaped the GTS
01:23:32I run the show
01:23:37T.A.L.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
01:23:38T.H.O! Without a LOOK!
01:23:51This doesn't work.
01:23:54Hay, you wanna match?
01:23:56You got a match!
01:23:59All for Assistant!
01:24:00And Russell Palooza, you both done for!
01:24:06We gotta get him back!
01:24:08Oh, there goes the IC championship.
01:24:22Mixed tag team.
01:24:24Seth and Becky, Punk and AJ Lee.
01:24:27Look out, Wrestlepalooza, if it gets made official, mixed tag team action.
01:24:34AJ Lee got exactly what she came out here wanting.
01:24:39I like that kind of trade offer.
