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 Brew City, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, the man Becky Lynch!
00:03:19Of course she's the Intercontinental Champ!
00:03:23But no title in hand!
00:03:24A.J. Lee grabbed it!
00:03:25And for the first time in more than a decade, A.J. Lee returns to RAW tonight!
00:03:29As we're at the Loud and Rockin' Five Serve Arena here in Milwaukee!
00:03:4112 days until Wrestle Palooza!
00:03:43So much to be determined!
00:03:44For now, recent brotherly love reunion that will blow the roof off!
00:03:48Any arena will get us started!
00:03:54Oozan!
00:03:55Oozan!
00:03:57Oozan!
00:03:59Oozan!
00:04:03Zurict.
00:04:04Oozan!
00:04:05TAN Oozan!
00:04:06We'll see you next time.
00:04:36Oh, together again.
00:04:49Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Jimmy, and main event, Che, the U-K-O.
00:05:14It feels like day one all over again. All is right in the world.
00:05:21Jimmy and Jey Uso reunited, making their way toward the ring to kick off Monday Night Raw.
00:05:29No doubt about it, Corey. The family that's been stretched to the limits, challenged, divided.
00:05:33Roman, of course, recently demolished in Paris, but in the end, the twin brothers by each other's side,
00:05:39always 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 Uso's together again.
00:05:59Of 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.
00:06:23Joe Test is with you. Wade Barrett on a well-deserved vacation, but the man who does everything in our company is right here.
00:06:30Corey Graves, my man, it is so great to be with you.
00:06:32It's so weird. The internet told me that Wade has been exiled from faraway island.
00:06:36I'm not really sure what that's about.
00:06:38I'm happy to be here. I'm excited to work alongside you.
00:06:40We get a couple of raws 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, picking up the win over L.A. Knight and Jey Uso.
00:06:56But if you thought this would end without extracurricular activities, you were sadly mistaken.
00:07:01L.A. Knight, always defiant, still looking to bring the fight, nearly speared in half by Breaker.
00:07:09And then Jey Uso crushed under the weight of a tsunami.
00:07:13But when Jey had no one left to turn to, you can always count on family.
00:07:18All right.
00:07:48Right back to it. They wanted it. They're getting it.
00:08:01They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey Uso. They wanted Jey
00:08:31I said, the Usos are now in your division.
00:08:54Seth Rollins, the Brownies, the Bronsons, the Brussos, Brown Breaker, Bronson Reed, y'all
00:09:13messed up.
00:09:14You're screwed up, Usos.
00:09:27No, the dangerous duo of destruction for the vision.
00:09:32The tribal thief, Bronson Reed, the badass Brown Breaker, out here looking for trouble
00:09:41already.
00:09:44They find it so easily week after week.
00:09:47Hey Reed, look, it's the twins.
00:09:58Hey, Big Jim, you lost, man?
00:10:00This ain't SmackDown.
00:10:02This is Monday Night Raw, Usos.
00:10:07The vision runs Monday Night Raw.
00:10:10The dogs run Monday Night Raw.
00:10:19Man, y'all got some nerve coming out here standing in our ring after what y'all, y'all's
00:10:28family did to Paul Heyman.
00:10:31The sound of a man now.
00:10:42The kayak, als of these.
00:10:44The ladoاث.
00:10:46First this is the Até來 of the same race, the DunLD screes in the room.
00:10:51Not tonight, not tonight.
00:10:53from Roman's family is to acknowledge their tribal thief.
00:11:23Big Jim, listen to Big Bronson. You were not a factor in Seth Rollins' vision when you were on SmackDown. But now, you're here on Monday.
00:11:45Shut up!
00:11:47We don't need to listen to these people.
00:12:00And they're coming back. We already dealt with him. And we're gonna deal with you too now, Jimmy. And if you wanna 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?
00:12:22Hey, Braun Breaker, to answer your question, yeah, Big Jim know where I'm at. I'm right here on Monday Night Raw.
00:12:29Hey, you know what? There it is. I'm very happy to be standing in front of the vision. Because I do remember Seth J&J Security, but who the hell we got here? More like, uh, PBJ&J Security.
00:12:43Hey, we know who you two punks are. Let me remind you who's standing in the ring. Who's? You the twos. And we the...
00:12:52I don't know what irks me more. I don't know what irks me more. Either because you two got the same damn name, or you're over here taking orders from a...
00:13:01Man, what's his name? Paul Heyman?
00:13:06Yo, yo, I got you. You're taking orders from Paul Heyman.
00:13:10A.K.A. The Advocate. A.K.A. The Wise Man.
00:13:14A.K.A. The Orca. He Built Like One. A.K.A. In the word...
00:13:18Here, here, here. A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief. Dumbass!
00:13:31I'm gonna... I'm telling you, I'm gonna...
00:13:33Hey, hey, hey. So check this out. Check this out, Milwaukee. They want to come out here and make a name for themselves. Cool.
00:13:40Guess what we did? We went to Adam Pearce. We rapped with him. And guess it? It's Breaker and Ben K. Bronson Reed. At Russell Palooza, you're going against the best damn tag team in the game.
00:13:53Jimmy and Jack the Oostone!
00:13:59Hey, but check it out, Milwaukee. We ain't even gotta wait. We getting jiggy right now.
00:14:05Hey! Talk to him! Roll letters! Roll letters!
00:14:10O-R-P!
00:14:12No, no, no, no, no. We can wait. Cause we can wait to wrestle Palooza. Not tonight! Milwaukee doesn't get to see this match.
00:14:21Wait a minute, that's L.A. Knight?!
00:14:22Oh! Of course, L.A. Knight has something to say about it. He's got a major issue with Braun and Bronson Corey.
00:14:29So much unfinished business for the megastar. The defiant L.A. Knight out here all on his own trying to bring the fight to the vision.
00:14:38But L.A. being overwhelmed by these two powerhouses.
00:14:41Yeah, two on one right now. Big Bronson Reed and the badass Braun Breaker after last week's brutal attack.
00:14:48Wait a minute! Whoa! Uso! They go flying!
00:14:54Big Jim and Main Event Jay bringing the fight to Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker.
00:15:01What an announcement! Wrestle Palooza! Get ready!
00:15:06Each delivering blow after blow to Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:12Reed and Breaker in the unfamiliar position of being outnumbered right now.
00:15:17And here's Breaker back in the midst. Super kick Lance Blush!
00:15:24Big Bronson trying to gather himself.
00:15:29Well, he wanted to put the BFT.
00:15:31Oh, and a moment of hesitation, costly.
00:15:38Reed goes flying out of the ring after the super kick from Jimmy.
00:15:43Of course, the recent actions between Braun Breaker, Bronson Reed, the attack a week ago that we showed you.
00:16:02And you can see still a little bit of a communication issue arguing between L.A. Knight and Jey Uso.
00:16:11Jey Uso, you know what happened in Paris.
00:16:13There's still plenty of tension between Jey Uso and L.A. Knight.
00:16:16When the World Heavyweight Championship is involved, tension is absolutely everywhere.
00:16:20But let's not gloss over what we just heard.
00:16:22What an announcement for Wrestle Palooza.
00:16:24Wrestle 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 Luchadores.
00:17:04Dirty Dom to deliver a frog splash.
00:17:07And still.
00:17:12Dirty Dom.
00:17:15One, one, two, four, three.
00:17:16Two, three, four, three, four, five, four.
00:17:21The trolling contest is difficult for once for, introducing the first-
00:17:41You know, just a week ago, it was that ultimate sing-along in Paris at this moment.
00:17:55As they like to say there, he is truly, he is truly.
00:17:58And now AJ Styles can get a little payback.
00:18:01It's the phenomenal one coming up against El Grande Americano.
00:18:06That's next.
00:18:07Monday Night Raw on Netflix from here live in Hill Rock.
00:18:11Blue-collar boys do it with my hands, money.
00:18:15They don't want nothing, they don't want nothing, they don't want nothing.
00:18:23They don't want nothing, they don't want nothing, they don't want nothing.
00:18:38They don't want nothing, they don't want nothing.
00:19:12Milwaukee, I'm ready to take somebody's head off.
00:19:24Dominic Mysterio got his little buddy that coffee bean Americano to get involved
00:19:38in my match and cost me the Intercontinental Championship.
00:19:47And to be honest with you, it could have been by fault.
00:19:53You see, for the first time in my career, I've got no one watching my back.
00:20:04Gallows, Anderson, they're not here.
00:20:09Meech and she's on SmackDown.
00:20:11It's like someone orchestrated a way for me not to win anymore, not to have help.
00:20:23I'll let you make your own conclusions.
00:20:26By the way, we are here right now and all over the world.
00:20:32But Arrest, everybody, isn't a commercial break.
00:20:34I'm telling you something that you're probably not supposed to hear.
00:20:38But somebody doesn't want me here.
00:20:41So, what we're gonna do is you're gonna beat the piss out of Grande Americano tonight.
00:20:59So that the person that doesn't want me here anymore can feel a little bit of his pain and 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.
00:21:39Ticketmaster pre-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 gonna say it?
00:21:52Well, I'm gonna 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.
00:22:09Instead, I'm hearing about, oh, 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.
00:22:22But first and foremost, Jey Uso out there thinking, what, I threw Bronson Reed into you on purpose?
00:22:27Huh?
00:22:29Are you serious?
00:22:30Really, if you think that I needed to take you out, if that's what you think I would do,
00:22:34I'd do it right to your damn face, my man.
00:22:35This ain't a problem, but if you want to make it a problem, I ain't a hard man to find, so
00:22:39come on over and find me.
00:22:40What I need, what I want, I want one of the Brons.
00:22:44Give me any of them.
00:22:44That's what I was telling Adam Pearce right now.
00:22:47I said, give me Bronson Reed.
00:22:48I said, give me Bron Breaker.
00:22:50You can give me LeBron James.
00:22:51You can give me Little Bronny.
00:22:52You 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.
00:22:58I don't care if I lose.
00:22:59I just want to take a piece with me and stomp the piss out of him.
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04LA Knight in a fighting mood here tonight on Raw.
00:23:07We're going to find out if he gets his wish.
00:23:09Joe Corey, back to you guys at Ring.
00:23:10Thank you, Byron.
00:23:11I don't think anybody had Little Bronny and Charles Bronson mentions on their bingo card of Raw tonight.
00:23:16There must be something in the water here in Meiliwakay tonight, because AJ Styles, just like LA Knight, incredibly fired up.
00:23:23And his opponent, from the Gulf of America, weighed in for 202 pounds, El Grande Americano.
00:23:48Oh!
00:23:51El Grande Americano has had a lot of success on Monday Night Raw.
00:23:56Of course, this is his return to Raw since winning the tag team match with Dom Mysterio against Styles and Dragon Lee.
00:24:03That 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!
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, 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 Luchador.
00:24:37Big chop, because he had him teed up against that barrier.
00:24:44And a right hand just buckles his knees.
00:24:48Gotta feel a little bad for El Grande Americano, who was competing for Triple-A last night in Mexico.
00:24:53Made the long trip here to Milwaukee, and now he's being outright assaulted by AJ Styles.
00:24:58AJ Styles jumping all over him before this match even gets underway.
00:25:04Joe, I've known AJ for upwards of 20 years.
00:25:06I 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.
00:25:14Gets away from that big right hand.
00:25:17Pele kick.
00:25:18Pele kick lands well, and AJ revs the engine right here and sends him back out and over to the outside.
00:25:25And finally, we've got a bell.
00:25:26After all that, we've got a bell, and the match is underway.
00:25:30Cross body to the floor.
00:25:32Right arm point, as always.
00:25:35He's the phenomenal AJ Styles in quite the mood tonight, unfortunately, for El Grande Americano.
00:25:43And Corey, I just can't help but think, when you're sitting there and you're trying to line up the phenomenal form,
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.
00:25:57AJ Styles certainly understands the emotions that come with success and failure here in WWE and around the wrestling world.
00:26:03And right now, Styles is using that frustration as motivation to lay a beat down on El Grande Americano.
00:26:11You mentioned the success that Americano has had.
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's...
00:26:20Wait!
00:26:21What in the world?
00:26:23Another luchador, but...
00:26:26Dos Grande!
00:26:26The other Americano!
00:26:31Well, how's AJ Styles supposed to compete with two?
00:26:33Oh, man, oh, man!
00:26:35Did 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.
00:26:47With a little help, El Grande Americano and Dos.
00:26:52It wasn't long ago that fans were shocked when another luchador came out,
00:27:11and it happened again moments ago, a second Americano.
00:27:17Listen, Joe, you have to understand,
00:27:18when you were as wildly popular on a global scale as El Grande Americano is,
00:27:22you've got followers.
00:27:23You've got people who want to imitate you,
00:27:25who want to follow in your footsteps,
00:27:27who just want to just soak in the aura of your greatness.
00:27:31And now with that,
00:27:34El Grande is taking advantage here in Milwaukee.
00:27:38Nearly ran into the big boot,
00:27:40but instead delivers a right hand.
00:27:42Americano able to weather the early emotional storm from AJ Styles.
00:27:50And the arrival of the second mysterious luchador was the Tide Turner.
00:27:55Americano was in search of.
00:27:57Let him go, let him go.
00:27:58Let him go.
00:27:58Let him go.
00:27:59El Grande Americano,
00:28:09no doubt one of the most elegant luchadors in the history of Lucha Libre.
00:28:15A true pleasure to watch.
00:28:19AJ 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,
00:28:49all that rage that had built up over the past week for AJ Styles
00:28:54came out before we even had the bell to start this match.
00:28:57And then all of a sudden,
00:28:58the 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,
00:29:11being Americano.
00:29:12Drop kick by Grande.
00:29:13Looking for a cover.
00:29:15Ryan ended right here, hooking the leg.
00:29:16And again, AJ able to survive it.
00:29:19Now Grande is stomping down on 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,
00:29:34it may very well neutralize the threat of a phenomenal form.
00:29:38Trying to take away that cheap weapon.
00:29:41Make no mistake about it.
00:29:45AJ 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.
00:30:18Dos Americano came in, interfered in, turned things around.
00:30:22There's the cover.
00:30:22And getting that right shoulder up
00:30:25as Americano jumps right back on top of Styles, Corey.
00:30:28While Americano may have gotten control of this matchup
00:30:31by controversial means, Americano has not slowed down.
00:30:35He has proven to be absolutely relentless,
00:30:37understanding 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.
00:30:51I can hear this crowd.
00:30:52Looking to rally support for Styles.
00:30:55AJ able to bulldoze Americano back into the turnbuckle.
00:30:59A few valuable seconds for AJ to recover.
00:31:04Getting his feet underneath him.
00:31:06Oh, but he eats a big boot
00:31:08just when he thought he had a bit of momentum.
00:31:11And 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
00:31:27after the onslaught of offense from El Grande Americano.
00:31:31You see the second, Grande, off to the side.
00:31:35He's critical in turning this match.
00:31:39But all of a sudden, AJ Styles.
00:31:41The will.
00:31:42The grit.
00:31:43The desire.
00:31:47Styles now with that phenomenal blitz.
00:31:49And that blitz puts down El Grande.
00:31:52The striking combination.
00:31:56And Styles now has gathered momentum.
00:32:01El Grande in all types of trouble.
00:32:04AJ Styles continuing to soldier forward.
00:32:06Muscling up the luchador.
00:32:07Able to switch.
00:32:10Eats an elbow.
00:32:11El Grande.
00:32:12Trying to reposition himself.
00:32:13Oh, look at AJ!
00:32:16Here it comes!
00:32:17Rack ball!
00:32:19Into the cover!
00:32:21And a kick out by El Grande.
00:32:23And that's got to be frustrating for AJ Styles.
00:32:26Reaching deep into his arsenal.
00:32:29Muscling up Americano.
00:32:31The disorienting spin.
00:32:32And most of all, the impact on landing.
00:32:36Stacked 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.
00:32:44After everything that Styles took.
00:32:46And he's looking for right here.
00:32:47But instead, El Grande.
00:32:49Able to back out.
00:32:51Joe, if you look in the bottom corner of our screen,
00:32:53it has just been made official.
00:32:55L.A. 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.
00:33:09L.A. Knight will be our main event here on Raw.
00:33:12Look at that!
00:33:13My, oh my!
00:33:14The athleticism!
00:33:15El Grande!
00:33:17Americano!
00:33:18And AJ survives it!
00:33:20Take another look at this spectacular athleticism.
00:33:25Walking the ropes with the greatest of ease into something of a blockbuster.
00:33:29El Grande very nearly tasted victory after that one.
00:33:32And to go over the top with that balance and turn it into a blockbuster.
00:33:37Nearly two-thirds across the ring.
00:33:39Oh, he's looking for the bomb, but instead...
00:33:42Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:43AJ, great wear with all by Styles.
00:33:45Dislodging the mask of Americano.
00:33:49And with that, an opportunity for Styles.
00:33:53Oh, 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!
00:34:04Oh!
00:34:05And he sends those flying!
00:34:07Watch out, AJ!
00:34:08Oh!
00:34:09Need a heads up!
00:34:10The roll-up!
00:34:10But 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?
00:34:28Here is your winner!
00:34:31The phenomenal AJ Styles!
00:34:34How many guys can do that, Corey?
00:34:39One.
00:34:40The phenomenal one.
00:34:43AJ Styles.
00:34:46Able 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 going to 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 was 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,
00:36:15cancel the contract signing,
00:36:17but I see no reason why Stephanie won't be ready
00:36:19to go for the title match at Russell Palooza.
00:36:20Everybody can rest easy.
00:36:21Okay?
00:36:22Okay, 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 are going to have such a good match
00:36:31for the Women's World title.
00:36:33Oh, I'm going to jump in.
00:36:34Jump in.
00:36:35You can't leave, Nikki.
00:36:36Um, excuse me, Oscar.
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?
00:36:51Oscar, you don't have to like me,
00:36:53but you will respect me.
00:36:55Respect?
00:36:57Respect?
00:36:58Oh, how about I beat the respect out of you tonight?
00:37:07You're on.
00:37:15EO-san, I'm sorry.
00:37:19The Oscars 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.
00:37:44Wrestlepalooza, 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 Oscar 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!
00:38:09The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:38:14Introducing first,
00:38:15from Dublin, Ireland,
00:38:17Lyra Valkyria!
00:38:22Now, she's taken on every challenge thrown at her.
00:38:25And after the brutal rivalry with Becky Lynch,
00:38:28Lyra Valkyria just walks back to business inside the ropes.
00:38:31It is Lyra against Raquel Rodriguez when we come back.
00:38:34As this matchup is presented by Credit One Bank.
00:38:38Don't go anywhere.
00:38:39Lyra in action.
00:38:41Next on Raw.
00:38:42Here we await Wrestlepalooza where we will crown a new women's world champion.
00:39:07I can guarantee you this, Joe.
00:39:09Lyra Valkyria will be keeping a close eye on that one.
00:39:12This woman who was once the Intercontinental Champion would love an opportunity to step toward the top of the mountain here on Monday Night Raw.
00:39:20I 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 in this calendar year.
00:39:29The inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion held that title for 144 days.
00:39:36This goes to show you the level of competition throughout WWE's women's division from Raw to SmackDown to NXT.
00:39:43The best of the best.
00:39:44You know, it'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 A.J. Lee on a night when we just saw Nikki Bell.
00:39:57And 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.
00:40:05You're absolutely right.
00:40:06And Nikki Bella deserves the praise and the accolades.
00:40:08She 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.
00:40:16You leave for 10 years, even A.J. Lee is going to have to deal with the learning curve should she step back in between the ropes again.
00:40:25Let's go to A.J. Lee just a little later on.
00:40:29La Mastura.
00:40:31And her opponent, a company, Farrakhan Torres, 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.
00:40:56Let'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.
00:41:13Not just what she is physically, not just her skill, but the leadership she had to show this 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 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.
00:41:34She's absolutely ready to be a major roadblock to Valkyria's ascent.
00:41:40Well, you know the headlines.
00:41:57Everybody talking about the return of A.J. Lee.
00:42:01A hundred and seventy-eight million social views of A.J. Lee's return.
00:42:07The most new 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 A.J. Lee that now gets a second act after a ten-year gap.
00:42:26I promised all of you I would redefine
00:42:30The term diva, and I am very proud
00:42:34To say that I sure have done that.
00:42:42What I like 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.
00:43:04Get a little of it.
00:43:05We 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.
00:43:25You will never be able to lace that mic shot Taylor.
00:43:30A.J. Lee is here!
00:43:32A.J. Lee, after a decade, is back!
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.
00:43:53Lake Michigan's 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 All-State 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, officer curve.
00:44:33Well, Lyra certainly has an opportunity.
00:44:35But with that said, Raquel believes she deserves more opportunities, bigger opportunities,
00:44:39higher 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 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, we've seen the return recently of Nikki Bella.
00:44:55Who first-hand admitted how different, how much better the entire roster is top to bottom.
00:45:00The 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, and he just announced prior to that, we have LA Knight
00:45:22and 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
00:45:29ago, why we're 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, sometimes
00:46:00you'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.
00:46:12And 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.
00:46:30And now rolling out to the outside is Raquel.
00:46:32Oh, and this crowd is gathering support for Lyra Valkyrie.
00:46:43Oh, the drop kick as Raquel finds herself out on the floor.
00:46:48Now you see in the background, Roxanne Perez, the prodigy of the Judgment Day.
00:46:54Lyra 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, driving 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 for her 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, it 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.
00:47:52And 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.
00:48:15Corey, I think this match now is completely altered with the damage that has been done to the lower back of Lyra Bucaria.
00:48:23I have no choice but to agree with you, and Raquel now focusing on the lower back, continuing to pour on the punishment.
00:48:30She's identified a weakness in Lyra Bucaria, and 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 Bucaria 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 Bucaria was moments ago, but I can tell you this.
00:48:59When your lower back is not cooperating, when 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, and it's absolutely miserable.
00:49:16Yeah, not just the pain that you have to endure, but the limitations then for what you would choose to 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.
00:50:07And 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 6, 8, 12 months ago.
00:50:19She wanted to end things as quickly as possible, almost tried to rush through her offense.
00:50:23Now, Raquel understands it's okay to savor the suffering of your opponent.
00:50:27One, two, three, boom!
00:50:30And she is savoring that suffering for sure.
00:50:34And look at that smile on her face as she just gives out more and more pain,
00:50:41dishing it out against Lyra Valkyria.
00:50:43Listen, 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?
00:51:04Lyra Valkyria is in a world of hurt against Raquel Rodriguez
00:51:16as Rodriguez has been targeting that back, just 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, many...
00:51:27Whoa, whoa!
00:51:28Look 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.
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 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 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 WrestlePalooza.
00:53:32We're just 12 days away.
00:53:34John Cena and Brock Lesnar to battle.
00:53:38How 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.
00:53:52Right here on Raw.
00:53:55Take another look at this superhuman power from Rodriguez.
00:54:01It's 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 arch 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, she drives her front facing into the corner.
00:54:30The sternum first into the top turnbuckle.
00:54:32And now Rodriguez with the worst of intentions for her opponent.
00:54:35If 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?
00:54:51Could we have a sunset?
00:54:52Power bomb!
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.
00:55:22High 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.
00:56:01Lyra fiercely fighting with everything she's got left.
00:56:06Is it enough?
00:56:07Looking to kick her way free.
00:56:10Highly educated feet on Lyra Valkyria.
00:56:12Look at this pin in combination.
00:56:13Look at this pin in combination.
00:56:15As 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.
00:56:28And 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.
00:56:48But 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, unable 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.
00:58:00You got your back, buddy.
00:58:01We've been back for a long time.
00:58:03Anytime you need us, let us know where he's got your back, right?
00:58:05Thank you, guys.
00:58:06I know that I'm always going to talk to you and you're with me.
00:58:09Okay?
00:58:10Hey, man.
00:58:10I understand you're looking for me.
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?
00:58:19You don't love Penta.
00:58:21Why don't I?
00:58:21What 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.
00:58:26You know that.
00:58:27And you know something?
00:58:30What?
00:58:31You're Intercontinental Champion.
00:58:32You're a pendejo.
00:58:33You're a pendejo.
00:58:34Please.
00:58:36Give me a title show.
00:58:39Because I will be champion.
00:58:41We.
00:58:42Cero.
00:58:44Mierda.
00:58:44Pierce!
00:58:45Yes.
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.
00:58:58I'm going to hell with the plan.
00:58:58You are wasting your time with some demons and clowns.
00:59:02Hey, Rusev.
00:59:05Calm down.
00:59:07Don't believe you.
00:59:09I don't care if you've returned.
00:59:11And if you want someone,
00:59:13I'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,
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?
00:59:27Penta 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'm going to be here.
00:59:37I'm going to be here.
00:59:37I'm going to be here.
00:59:37I'm going to be here.
00:59:37No, I'm going to be here.
00:59:38No, I'm going to be here.
00:59:38No, I'm going to be here.
00:59:38No, I'm going to be here.
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?
01:00:00Whatever you are watching around the world, we are live in Milwaukee.
01:00:29And what a night it 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.
01:00:40Well, 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.
01:00:54This is mourning Kingston.
01:00:55This is mourning Waller.
01:01:00And this is mourning Woods.
01:01:08And you better sign that.
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.
01:01:17Yes.
01:01:18Yes.
01:01:19Yes.
01:01:20And after we force Vic to sign it, we're going to force every single person here to sign
01:01:24it, too.
01:01:26But rest assured, rest assured, it's okay.
01:01:29We're going to make it easy for y'all because we know the people of Milwaukee and in Wisconsin
01:01:34in 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, even
01:02:15though we know the people of Milwaukee look as if their teeth do not touch when they chew
01:02:21their food, you should still be smart enough to understand that my health should be this
01:02:26company's number one priority.
01:02:33You see, Xavier Woods is a martyr.
01:02:40He has endured this suffering so that y'all don't have to.
01:02:43And y'all should be thankful for him.
01:02:45You should thank God for him.
01:02:48So you should take your terrible jaws, get down on your knees, raise your knees, and raise
01:02:56your hands to the sky, and scream out in unison, thank God for the new day.
01:03:07Hey, WrestleMania is headed back to Vegas.

01:03:50And in moments, the star power of AJ Lee will be with us.
01:03:56Honestly, I didn't think anybody was going to have my back.
01:04:06I didn't think I've had anybody.
01:04:08And you showed up, man.
01:04:09So if you need me, I'm there for you.
01:04:11We appreciate it.
01:04:12It's my name.

01:04:15My dog.
01:04:16What's up, man?
01:04:17Canadi.
01:04:18Canadi.
01:04:19What's up?
01:04:20Who's y'all seeing Jay, man?
01:04:21Uh...
01:04:22Never mind.
01:04:23Who's?
01:04:24I'll get with y'all.
01:04:25He's not the better looking one you are.
01:04:26You know that, right?
01:04:27Hey, yo, yo, yo.
01:04:30Where you going?
01:04:31You out, man.
01:04:32Out?
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:34Bro, we got a play to run.
01:04:35What play?
01:04:36What you mean, Oose?
01:04:37LA versus Bronson Reed tonight.
01:04:39And they need our help.
01:04:40Oose, I don't give a damn about no LA night versus no Bronson Reed.
01:04:43That ain't our problem no more.
01:04:45Bro, the vision is our problem.
01:04:47You heard me?
01:04:48You saw what happened out there, Oose.
01:04:53Man tried to get me.
01:04:55I 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 LA night ain't gonna get us no Wrestle Palooza.
01:05:08Damn sure ain't gonna have me get my World Heavyweight Championship back, Oose.
01:05:12You understand me?
01:05:13Look, you here now.
01:05:14Here's what we gonna do.
01:05:16We gonna make sure they all acknowledge us or we gonna smash all of them.
01:05:20This is horrible.
01:05:21Okay?
01:05:22Alright?
01:05:23Man, you're not sounding like yourself, Oose.
01:05:27You kinda sound like Roman.
01:05:31Maybe sounding like myself ain't working.
01:05:37I'm not the best.
01:05:38I'm not the best.
01:05:39I'm not the best at all.
01:05:40You were expecting him to go play with you and you're right.
01:05:42I can't do what the fuck you are.
01:05:43Okay?
01:05:44I'll be right back, Oose.
01:05:45I'm not the best.
01:05:46I'm not the best.
01:05:47I'll be right back on fire.
01:05:48I'll be right back.
01:05:49I'm not the best at all.
01:05:50Fuck off.
01:05:51Come on.
01:05:52I'll be right back in here.
01:05:53Hey.
01:05:54You like your Reef?
01:05:55By the way.
01:05:56Come on.
01:05:57I'm not the best man.
01:05:58They're good for every man.
01:06:00Come on.
01:06:01I can't do it.
01:06:02I can't do it.
01:06:03Come on.
01:06:05I get that money in my place.
01:06:07I get that money in my place.
01:06:09I get that money in my place.
01:06:32Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,
01:06:36AJ Lee!
01:06:45She is back, and she is beloved.
01:06:47And that is Becky Lynch's Intercontinental title championship
01:06:52around her waist, Corey.
01:06:54What's that old saying, Jones?
01:06:56Possession is nine-tenths of the wall.
01:06:58Right now, AJ Lee is wearing the Intercontinental Championship,
01:07:01and it doesn't sound like anyone in Milwaukee objects.
01:07:05That war.
01:07:07AJ wrote on social media today,
01:07:09you've had my back for a decade.
01:07:10This run is for you, my wonderful weirdos.
01:07:14You've kept your ratings, huh?
01:07:15Sorry.
01:07:16Let's go back!
01:07:17Let's go back!
01:07:18Let's go back!
01:07:19Let's go back!
01:07:20Let's go back!
01:07:21Let's go back!
01:07:22Let's go back!
01:07:23Let's go back!
01:07:24Let's go back!
01:07:25Let's go back!
01:07:26Let's go back!
01:07:27Let's go back!
01:07:28Let's go back!
01:07:29Kept your waiting, huh?
01:07:36Sorry.
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, and I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
01:08:40And 10 years ago, I retired.
01:09:02I said I was sorry, oh my God.
01:09:12I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling.
01:09:21And I was content, and I hung up my Chuck Taylors.
01:09:24And I thought, that was the end of my story.
01:09:30There was no way I was going to step back in a ring again, wearing jean shorts that are
01:09:35two sizes too small.
01:09:37I was so sure.
01:09:46And so I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life.
01:09:52And I did it, but most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:10:09I wasn't healthy.
01:10:10I needed to take care of myself, get right.
01:10:16I went to therapy.
01:10:17I got treatment.
01:10:18Therapy.
01:10:19Yeah!
01:10:20Here for therapy!
01:10:23I went to therapy. I got treatment. Therapy! Yeah! Here for therapy!
01:10:34Therapy! Therapy! Therapy! Therapy!
01:10:50Fantastic. And I found a way to turn all of this mental chaos into my superpower.
01:11:01And man, the fight is not easy. Every day is a fight.
01:11:06But let me tell you, if you're going through the same thing, that fight is worth it.
01:11:10You are worth it.
01:11:23And I was doing really good for a long time.
01:11:29And 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.
01:11:47But it's another thing entirely, to see him in the ring with Becky Lynch.
01:11:56Yeah, I mean, look, I wanted to like Becky.
01:12:06I thought that we had so much in common.
01:12:11I mean, she's a leader. She's a rebel. She's a New York Times best-selling author.
01:12:17I did it first, yes.
01:12:26I did it first, yes.
01:12:30I am everybody's favorite reference, I know. Thank you.
01:12:36Back on track, back 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. She defamed him.
01:12:59She-
01:13:01To the world.
01:13:03To the world.
01:13:35This has nothing to do with your stank-ass husband.
01:13:55Hello?
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...
01:14:33I...
01:14:34I...
01:14:35Shut up!
01:14:36Shut your face!
01:14:38I am the...
01:14:39I am the greatest female wrestler of all time!
01:14:43And it's not...
01:14:45You can do me all you like.
01:14:47It's not just me saying it.
01:14:48Other people say it.
01:14:49Sports Illustrated says it.
01:14:50You suck!
01:14:51You suck!
01:14:52You suck!
01:14:53You suck!
01:14:54You suck!
01:14:55You suck!
01:14:56You suck!
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...
01:15:04I...
01:15:05I do not 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.
01:15:22You suck!
01:15:23And you, you do not deserve to put a finger on my title.
01:15:30Oh, my God.
01:15:37It works, I swear!
01:15:41It's wonderful.
01:15:44I have some names I can give you.
01:15:46This is so embarrassing.
01:15:49I completely forgot I was wearing this.
01:15:51My God, for real, I've just been skipping around the house all weekend in it.
01:15:58I slept in it last night, yeah.
01:16:03Things kind of got weird this morning when I was getting dressed.
01:16:06Cut the crap, okay?
01:16:08Do not put your grubby hands on my title.
01:16:15Becky, you're sporting quite the shiner there.
01:16:21My God, did I, was that me?
01:16:27Was that one of my tiny fists or fury?
01:16:29My God, I'm sorry.
01:16:31Sometimes I go feral and I black out.
01:16:34I'm so sorry, I didn't realize I did that.
01:16:36But, I mean, you're tough since you are the greatest of all time.
01:16:45Why don't you come and get it?
01:16:59Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!
01:17:19I am not a chicken, as you are!
01:17:21I am not a chicken!
01:17:23Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!
01:17:32Okay, okay, okay, you listen to me, you Jersey trash bag weirdo.
01:17:39You keep your hands off my title.
01:17:46I already had to bathe in bleach after touching your greasy husband, okay?
01:17:51Which, by the way, where is he, huh?
01:17:57Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Chicken!
01:18:11Yeah, exactly, where is he?
01:18:14What kind of man hides behind his wife?
01:18:17Because, because this, 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, okay?
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?
01:18:43Why don't we get my hot husband out here, huh?
01:18:47Hit his music.
01:18:49Burn him down...
01:18:52Ah!
01:18:54Ah £0.
01:18:56Ah!
01:18:59Ah $0.
01:19:04Ah!
01:19:12Ah $0
01:19:16Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:19:37Hey.
01:19:40Hey, quiet down.
01:19:42Quiet down.
01:19:46Pump the brakes.
01:19:53Look, this is very simple.
01:19:56We can make this super easy.
01:19:58AJ, just give Becky her Intercontinental Championship back, and we can all leave this dump of a city
01:20:11as soon as possible.
01:20:13Very simple, easy breezy.
01:20:17You want me to give the title back?
01:20:20Just give 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.
01:20:26See how easy that is.
01:20:29Great idea.
01:20:29All right, hand it over.
01:20:31But I do, just real quick, we could do that.
01:20:33We could do that right now, but I have a better idea.
01:20:36Two options here, okay?
01:20:41One.
01:20:43Becky, 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.
01:20:52Or, or, or, I will give you this title, if you agree to a tag match.
01:21:07AJ Lee and CM Punk versus Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
01:21:22Kicks are poison.
01:21:24Hold this, hold this, hold these, hold this.
01:21:30CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk.
01:21:36AJ, look, I know you've been gone 10 years, you don't understand how things work.
01:21:44Let me explain it to you.
01:21:45I am the world heavyweight champion.
01:21:54This is my show.
01:21:58These are my people.
01:22:06You'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, I'm going to take that title, give it back to my incredible wife, and that's going to be the end of it.
01:22:21Understand?
01:22:22Thanks for mansplaining that.
01:22:24Everybody loves that.
01:22:25Very easy, very simple.
01:22:41All right.
01:22:57You listen, and you listen real good.
01:23:01That does not belong to you.
01:23:09That is my title.
01:23:11This is me, my love, you son.
01:23:16You don't get to hold it, Hopkins.
01:23:18You don't get to call the shots.
01:23:20I run the show.
01:23:21Very easy, very simple.
01:23:24Just got very complicated for Seth Rollins.
01:23:28The world heavyweight champion just narrowly escaped the GTS.
01:23:32T-M-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O-N-O.
01:23:50Hey, hey, this doesn't work.
01:23:53Hey, you want a match?
01:23:56You got a match.
01:23:57All for accepting.
01:24:00And Russell Palooza, you're both done for.
01:24:04What?
01:24:05We got to get him back.
01:24:07We got to put him into this.
01:24:09We got to put him into this.
01:24:11No.
01:24:12Oh, there goes the IC Championship.
01:24:18Oh, yeah.
01:24:22Mixed 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.
