00:00:00Then.
00:00:07Now.
00:00:16Forever.
00:00:24Together.
00:00:30Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:00:32A tech sector, a great college and NHL sports town.
00:00:35That unique mix of cutting edge business savvy and rah-rah spirit.
00:00:39It mirrors the modern day WWE.
00:00:42The Lenovo Center is filled up tonight for a Monday Night Raw that offers an incredible rematch.
00:00:48The Usos have arrived for what is a dangerous assignment.
00:00:53Jimmy and Jay reunited for tag team action at Wrestle Palooza.
00:00:58And now the return engagement.
00:01:00A tornado tag team match against the Vision, Braun and Bronson.
00:01:06And Judgment Day has a busy night ahead.
00:01:10Raquel meets Bayley.
00:01:12Dirty Dom looks to defend his title.
00:01:15Oh!
00:01:16Los Americanos here tonight as he gives the nod.
00:01:19Rande's through with an in-ring match debut tonight.
00:01:23As for what Dom Mysterio is dealing with.
00:01:27Well, he better be ready.
00:01:29The Intercontinental Championship number one contender is Rusev.
00:01:33The powerful veteran determined to rip through the self-proclaimed king of the Lucha doors.
00:01:39We are thrilled you are with us, Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
00:01:58We are just 12 days away now, Wade.
00:02:01From what is that incredible card.
00:02:03That'll happen.
00:02:04Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia.
00:02:06You get the sense anything could happen between now and then.
00:02:09Yes, indeed.
00:02:10Especially here in North Carolina.
00:02:12A professional wrestling state.
00:02:14And Joe, I'm in a professional wrestling state of mind.
00:02:17So let's cut the chat and get this show started.
00:02:20I love when you're like that, my man.
00:02:21Now let's remind everybody what happened a week ago.
00:02:24The shocking end to Raw.
00:02:28Tonight, Asuka pushed too hard, too far.
00:02:32And there's no turning back.
00:02:35Rhea Ripley is ready.
00:02:39Two women at the very top of this industry.
00:02:44It has been pure empress of tomorrow from the word go in this woman.
00:02:49Oh, my Rhea!
00:02:50Just when she needed it!
00:02:51Rhea catches it!
00:02:52Oh, the empress impact backfires!
00:02:53Roll up by Rhea!
00:02:54Rhea wins it!
00:02:55The points are missed in the ice!
00:02:56Sometimes when you win, really you lose.
00:02:57EO Sky!
00:02:58EO Sky!
00:02:59EO Sky!
00:03:28Oh!
00:03:29Oh!
00:03:30A spinning strike as Asuka turns on EO!
00:03:36Kairi is attacking EO Sky!
00:03:40This is horrible to see.
00:03:44The Kabuki Warriors taking whatever they want tonight!
00:03:51And rip the bandaid off!
00:03:53Asuka got her wish!
00:03:55Oh, wait!
00:04:07This is horrible to see!
00:04:08This is horrible to see!
00:04:10This is horrible to see!
00:04:20Oh!
00:04:21And ECB, the demons in your dreams, and ECB.
00:04:35Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rhea Ridley!
00:04:46Wade, she's gonna have something to say about what we just saw, about last week.
00:04:53Yes, a massive win, but that attack afterwards, it just changes everything we thought we knew about the dynamic with Oscar and Kyrie and Io.
00:05:04Yeah, we're about to hear Rhea Ridley's thoughts on the matter, but you don't need to beat Nostradamus to guess.
00:05:11Zero clemency, zero forgiveness, one thing on her mind, and that is Vengeance.
00:05:18This is her brutality.
00:05:25He's gonna have an extra something on the target for the Kabuki Warriors for sure.
00:05:32I tell you, the entire locker room has been giving Rhea Ridley a very wide berth so far today.
00:05:41They're in full well the kind of mood that Mami must be in.
00:05:45I tell you, the entire locker room has been giving Rhea Ridley a very wide berth so far today.
00:05:49They're in full well the kind of mood that Mami must be in.
00:06:06Asuka, Kyrie.
00:06:23Look, I always knew that it would come to this.
00:06:37But there was a little part of me that hoped that we could settle things in the ring.
00:06:43Settle our problems here in the ring like the Warriors that I thought you were.
00:06:48But, but no.
00:06:54But no.
00:06:56Because then what you did to Io, that, that crossed the line.
00:07:03I mean, aren't you the ones that claim that she is your family?
00:07:09Family.
00:07:10Family.
00:07:11Family.
00:07:12So look, this is, this is what we're gonna do here tonight, huh?
00:07:16We're gonna settle things in this ring.
00:07:24So Kabuki Warriors, come and get me!
00:07:31Come on!
00:07:36Come on!
00:07:37Come on!
00:07:39Come on!
00:07:40Come on!
00:07:41Come on!
00:07:42Come on!
00:07:43Come on!
00:07:44Come on!
00:07:45Come on!
00:07:46Come on!
00:07:47Come on!
00:07:48Well, the respect between Io Sky and Rhea was well earned this year as the fiercest of competitors,
00:07:56battling for the Women's World Championship.
00:07:58But now Wade, of course, a different kind of shared experience.
00:08:01Well, this is not what Rhea Ripley asked for, but this might well be what Rhea Ripley needs.
00:08:06Because had the Kabuki Warriors come out here in a two-on-one situation,
00:08:11Mami might have ended up even worse than she did last week.
00:08:15And Io Sky clearly torn up about the fact that she was beaten down by her mentor, Asuka,
00:08:21and good friend Kari Sane, in the aftermath of last week's main event.
00:08:26See you on Io's face.
00:08:28And Io!
00:08:29And Io!
00:08:30And Io!
00:08:31And Io!
00:08:32And Io!
00:08:33And Io!
00:08:34And Io!
00:08:35And Io!
00:08:36And Io!
00:08:37And Io!
00:08:38And Io!
00:08:39And Io!
00:08:40And Io!
00:08:41And Io!
00:08:42And Io!
00:08:43Weird.
00:08:44It breaks my heart to say this, but you are right about Asuka and Kairi.
00:08:58But they are my family!
00:09:00And...
00:09:01And I...
00:09:02I still love them!
00:09:03And...
00:09:06And I...
00:09:11And I still love them!
00:09:18Yota!
00:09:24It's up to you what happened next!
00:09:27I taught you everything you know.
00:09:30I was a guide for you.
00:09:33I was a guide for you.
00:09:37That's it.
00:09:40I was like, I don't have all that I've done.
00:09:46You act like Rie is your family now.
00:09:49I was a family.
00:09:52I made you who you are.
00:09:54You became champion for me.
00:09:57I'm proud of you.
00:10:04But because I love you,
00:10:07I'm willing to forgive you.
00:10:09Just apologize to me like you should.
00:10:14Be like Kairi.
00:10:21You can both still be my students.
00:10:25Yosa, we can be a family again.
00:10:31But for Rie, it's too late.
00:10:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:46Oscar, Oscar, you can go to hell.
00:10:50Iyo, look, Iyo, you have to trust me.
00:11:04Please, please, you have to trust me.
00:11:06Look, I've been burned by my family before.
00:11:09Look, I'm not trying to tell you what to do,
00:11:13but there's no way that you can go back to them.
00:11:16Not after what they've done.
00:11:18I'm sorry, Rie.
00:11:32I need time, I need time.
00:11:35See how conflicted and what a struggle it is for Rie.
00:11:41For Iyo.
00:11:45It's a lot easier to tell someone to walk away from their family.
00:11:48Oh, no!
00:11:49It's too late!
00:11:50It's right now!
00:11:52The Kabuki Warriors attacking Ria Wade!
00:11:56Right before Io Sky, who once again is torn,
00:12:00and the beatdown commences!
00:12:02What's a sinister victory lap!
00:12:04Kairi and Oscar attack, and here comes Io!
00:12:09Here comes Io!
00:12:13Able to throw Oscar off,
00:12:16as Ria's beaten down in the corner,
00:12:18and Kairi...
00:12:19Ria! Ria! Ria!
00:12:20Ria!
00:12:21Ria!
00:12:22Ria!
00:12:23Ria!
00:12:24Ria! Ria!
00:12:25Ria! Ria!
00:12:27Ria!
00:12:28Ria!
00:12:29Ria!
00:12:30Ria!
00:12:31Ria!
00:12:32Ria!
00:12:33Ria!
00:12:34The trouble continues...
00:12:43Oh!
00:12:44She missed it her!
00:12:45Poison mist in the eyes of Io Sky!
00:12:47Ria!
00:12:48Osuka sprays the mist right into the eyes of Io!
00:12:50And now here's Ria!
00:12:51Back up and on the attack!
00:12:54Oh!
00:12:55Big right hand from Kairi.
00:12:56Ria comes right back!
00:12:58五eng he Itu!
00:12:59And now going for Riptide!
00:13:01kick to the back of the neck they're just about connected with ripley
00:13:05posted into the corner simply a two-on-one situation what chance did ripley have here
00:13:14and the other corner meanwhile io is down and sprayed with the mist in the eyes she cannot help
00:13:22at all a spinning backhand and another okay goes unpunished in wwe and ripley who came here to save
00:13:32the day rio sky now being punished just put her in that lock and up top kairi sane insane elbow
00:13:42drops down on ria from up high
00:13:45and look at io as ria was beaten down took the elbow io missed it as kairi and asuka attack again
00:14:00about two minutes too late guys let's take another look at us io sky blasted with that poison mist
00:14:07out of nowhere from her now former mentor asuka and this kairi sane insane elbow
00:14:14connecting to ria bloody ripley doubling down on last week's statement beatdown of the kabuki warriors
00:14:23you can see io writhing in pain trying to clear the mist from her eyes as the support staff is there
00:14:31referees tending to io
00:14:44well this is the aftermath that we're dealing with here at the lenova center in raleigh north carolina
00:14:53as io sky came out to join ria ripley was discussing the struggle that she's having and dealing with the kabuki warriors
00:15:02and how conflicted she was saying they are still my family i still have love for them
00:15:08and then asuka and kairi
00:15:11entered from behind to attack ria ripley
00:15:14way by the time io made her way there the attack was well underway the next thing you know
00:15:20asuka sprayed the poison mist into the eyes of io sky
00:15:23it was a painful lesson to io sky after io decided to show loyalty to ria ripley instead of her mentor
00:15:32asuka who really has helped io sky carve out this top level career that she's had already
00:15:39and of course io's friend kairi sane getting involved for good measure and this relationship
00:15:46has broken down beyond all repair now you see ria ripley reaching for her ribs after suffering that
00:15:54insane elbow from kairi and she's consoling io obviously knowing that feeling from a week ago
00:16:01the physical pain that io sky must be in right now it's the emotional pain that is going to sting
00:16:11even worse than those eyeballs once vision has been restored maybe sometime looking at this aftermath
00:16:23kabuki warriors proving to be two dangerous individuals with poisonous mindsets
00:16:34the lines have now been drawn joe have they ever
00:16:41asuka said i made you i'm willing to forgive you but it's too late for ria ripley
00:16:51now she didn't forgive after io came into the ring to try to help ria
00:17:11Specs
00:17:22are you
00:17:24people may need to take advantage of you
00:17:27people may need to feel bad
00:17:28things like, quit
00:17:36you have to go back to 2019 the mark the last time rusev has held a title in wwe
00:17:51there's moments away from trying to claim one here wait last week there was no doubt
00:17:56that dom misterio didn't want to get near him
00:17:59what are you doing tonight i'm busy i know he wasn't going to help me but i know i can count on you
00:18:09come on well hang on you said you didn't need any help last week you need to help dom yeah why
00:18:14because we're a team we're the judgment day and he's asking me for help so you need to help him
00:18:18well jd mcdonough did indeed put his neck on the line facing up with rusev eventually
00:18:25succumbing to the accolade dom however was like a deer in the headlights offering no help
00:18:32until finn balor arrived to bail mcdonough out now the judgment day in the aftermath
00:18:39far from happy with the actions of dirty dom
00:18:42far from happy with the actions of dirty dom lately and the challenger tonight
00:18:50rusev who has been aiming for the intercontinental championship for some time tonight is the night
00:18:57rusev
00:18:59of course has grown and you see it right there now a double champion back on september 12th
00:19:24the triple a mega championship that came with the help of a grande americano you see jd and finn by his
00:19:31side here as he comes down to defend the ic title the town team champions by his side the judgment day
00:19:41gold just looks right on the judgment day doesn't it three championships now shared between them
00:19:49perhaps one could be lost tonight if rusev has his way
00:19:57i think you saw finn just say all right let's uh let's head out dom's got it on his own remember what happened last week
00:20:03while dom arguably has not been backing up the likes of finn balor and jd mcdonough of late so it looks like they've said
00:20:10to the intercontinental champ going alone tonight pal let's see what you can do
00:20:19i visibly saw some confidence leaving the soul of dirty dom when finn and jd walked off he took
00:20:26that look back like you're really going that way i could use you this way
00:20:29for the official introductions here's alicia taylor
00:20:39the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the intercontinental championship
00:20:52introducing first the challenger from bulgaria
00:21:03bulgaria winging at 270 pounds
00:21:09200 pounds
00:21:24and his opponent from san diego california
00:21:30winging at 200 pounds representing the judgment day he is the triple a mega champion
00:21:42in the wwe intercontinental champion
00:21:48dirty dominic
00:21:51misterio
00:21:57so joe we got a european against an american here is this going to end up like the ryder cup with the
00:22:03europeans whooping the americans quick question for you yeah we're going to pass on that
00:22:11i got a question for you though when we just size up what we're about to see with this
00:22:15intercontinental championship on the line a title that dom has held for 161 days this is the sixth
00:22:24defense a lot of times you've seen in recent weeks you even saw right there in the ring
00:22:28introduction it's almost like dom's got one foot out the back door when it comes to being with rusev so
00:22:34what's the strategy for dom to deal with him is this the kind of thing where he actually needs to
00:22:38smother him and take the approach where the best defense is actually consistent steady offense well
00:22:43only one person is going to do any smothering here and that is rusev smothering the champ once he
00:22:48gets his hands on him let me be clear now rusev is a straight line guy smash mouth that's how he
00:22:54wins dom cannot do that tonight against somebody as big and powerful as this bulgarian somehow dirty dom
00:23:03has to navigate his way in a circuitous route to victory and how the hell he pulls that up right now
00:23:09i have no clue whatsoever did you see the distance of the fall away and then the suplex and the
00:23:15violence that just keeps coming from rusev here early on in this ic title match i mean we saw just
00:23:23last week rusev bullying dirty dog behind the scenes demanding this opportunity dollars have wanted no
00:23:31part of this whatsoever quite understandably given the scene before our eyes it's about as close to a
00:23:36right hand knockout punch as you're gonna see as rusev and dom pulls down that top rope it's kind of
00:23:42what we were talking about now dom has to duck and weave keep moving comes with a drop kick and now over
00:23:50the top oh and rusev able to just catch up oh no oh yes right over the announce desk
00:23:59effortless fall away slap complete power and control from rusev
00:24:04and as rusev looks over that desired prize rusev's already trashed our desk joe tess imagine how the
00:24:21body the frame of the champ who may be about off guard is back over it too i mean the fall away slam
00:24:29and the thud that he took on top of the reinforced announce desk and then to exit the same way wait
00:24:36it's one thing to go over and oh right into the cover trying to take the title but then that's how
00:24:41he also ridded him of the situation it's just a statement it's letting dom know only one man has
00:24:48control of this matchup and it ain't you champ soon to be former champ perhaps a big kick by rusev he has
00:24:58been dominating since this match began now conducting the chorus doing two things at once
00:25:09and things really are looking bleak for dirty dom here yeah look to creatively take control of
00:25:15someone as big and strong as this but the shots are just bouncing off i'm trying to paddle back in
00:25:22the center of the ring with a series of right hands big kick
00:25:31but five of the shots of dom are just bouncing off rusev and one big clubbing blow in return
00:25:38completely flattened the intercontinental check bb gun against haloson
00:25:47what will tom come up with for an answer to try to turn things around and defend
00:25:55his intercontinental championship well you'd have to think part of the game plan was having jd
00:26:00mcdonough and finn balor by his side to try and combat the power differential in this one well that's
00:26:07fallen by the wayside before the bell even rang well he could have used them with what happened
00:26:12near our announce desk as he just eats another vicious knee to the gut and i'll tell you this
00:26:16joe as a veteran of several groups in this industry it's always quid pro quo you scratch my back i will
00:26:24scratch yours but at some point you do have to do the scratching yourself in order to get it back and
00:26:29i fear the dom simply has not done enough of that for the judgment day of late
00:26:34come on you got my title you got my title baby boy
00:26:40oh baby boy let's be called that in the middle of a match
00:26:56first time dirty dom and rusev have ever gone one-on-one that is what is on the line the
00:27:14intercontinental championship the sixth title defense for dirty dom and it is not going his way
00:27:20at all as rusev has been putting forth a beat down dom looks to turn things around he had rusev
00:27:26screaming at him you've got my title you've got my title
00:27:33dom looking for the rana as rusev goes across the ring finally has the big bulgarian wobble here and
00:27:39needs to make it stick because you might not get a second bite of this dom
00:27:42after splashing into the ball getting out of the way from rusev said just what he needs and finally
00:27:51with the wind in his sails starting to get some of that confidence back and looking like a true chap
00:27:58this to defend and retain and barely a one count that's it you put together a volley of offense you
00:28:05start to think that you are now fully in control of the match you can barely get a one count from this
00:28:10challenger and it just really shows how smart dom is wanting to avoid rusev at all costs until now
00:28:19did everything he could to avoid this challenger and here's the reason why
00:28:26three amigos may not even get off the ground instead he'll able to escape out the back door
00:28:32and trip him up and put him in position wave
00:28:38reflexes of dirty dog oh boy try to duck his way out of that massive line but got turned inside out
00:28:46anyway how quickly rusev can attack dom eyes bulging out of the back
00:28:52could be good night here dirty dog oh move once again i don't know how much he knew about it but
00:29:01instincts kicked in get out of danger self-preservation is a very important evolutionary trade nice oh as
00:29:09he just rams rusev right into the steel steps and tosses him back into the ring well rusev completely
00:29:15dropped his guard there thinking dom was a beaten man beaten he was not to the midsection 619 completely
00:29:21winding the challenger and now on the other second rope what momentum for dirty dom right to the bridge
00:29:30of the nose rusev has no clue where he's at and he's going up top the intercontinental champ oh and rusev gets
00:29:39on the way simply too much left in the tank too much durability for the bulgarian and a second bite
00:29:46of the cherry joe test matchup oh and to and change or else rusev and that would be the ic champ that has
00:29:59just pissed rusev off he tasted gold there with that matchka kick dom equal to it but dom now defenseless
00:30:09and you can see how fired up rusev is the frustration boiling over how flexible i'm gonna put it out of
00:30:18touch right now he's going for the accolade right now oh dom wiggles out the back door scurrying out of
00:30:26there at the precise moment smart move once again from dirty dom he's had enough he's grabbing his two
00:30:34titles do you play he's got the mega championship and he's got the ic title rusev said where are you
00:30:39going well rusev knows full well a count out may win him the match but it will not win in the
00:30:44intercontinental championship not so easy is it dom you know eddie arango takes the time oh he just
00:30:51cracked him with the title just bounced off what i was trying to do and eddie guerrero
00:30:58referee eddie arango says no you're not getting away with that tonight dom
00:31:02maybe he saw him toss it once before from dirty that was a mule kick right to the man parts
00:31:15one two three and that's how he defends it
00:31:20here is your winner and still the intercontinental champion
00:31:28attorney well say what you want about dirty dom mysterio he was never going to out fight rusev
00:31:39tonight but he did succeed in outsmarting rusev instead once again dirty dom showing his range
00:31:48escaping to victory this was a shot behind the referee's back referee did not buy any of that
00:31:54completely caught dom red-handed however at this moment when clearing out the championship
00:32:01it was the low blow direct to the man parts as joe test called it but roll up
00:32:07and hey a wings a win whatever it takes to retain the goal
00:32:24that's it don't get hot because i'm out of myself yeah a little bit because making you the referee
00:32:28at russell paliza horrible idea no i think that was the best i've heard a lot of people say i was
00:32:31the best referee terrible idea are you kidding me are you serious in a bad situation what you wanted
00:32:36yeah i get that but tonight it's about the usos and it's about braun and bronson tonight is it about

00:32:50rollins i want my world title shot it's funny you're not the only one earlier on i bet i'm not
00:32:58since you're a little mercenary penta sideline grayson waller this week and you refuse to ban
00:33:03the mexican destroyer that means that you owe us and you owe us a shot at the tag team championship
00:33:10how many times are we gonna go through this number one earn a tag team title shot number two i'm in the
00:33:15middle of a meeting should i leave is this is this important yeah i'm not gonna leave i'll tell you why
00:33:19because i'm in here talking about the world championships so whatever you guys excuse me
00:33:22there's somebody in here who actually has been a world champion so why don't you step to the side
00:33:27while grown men talk to pierce i will i tell you what i'll do i'll step to the side i'll step right

00:34:01nightmares plus the undisputed champ here tonight cody rhodes in raleigh north carolina tonight right here on netflix
00:34:10make it make it work
00:34:32ladies and gentlemen i'm standing by with the world tag team champions representing the judgment
00:34:39day jd mcdonough and finn ballard guys we just saw dominic mysterio successfully defend his
00:34:47intercontinental title against rusev but how do you both feel about dom's win well what are you trying
00:34:54to get out here byron of course we're happy for dirty dom to retain in the intercontinental championship
00:34:59tonight against rusev what are you implying this microphone here might as well be a big wooden spoon
00:35:06for all the stirring up you're trying to do well what i'm implying is that we saw you walk down
00:35:11the aisle with dirty dom but then you elected not to remain at ringside during his match is that yeah
00:35:19that's because dirty dominic mysterio the king of the luchadores assured me that he would be able to
00:35:27handle rusev all by himself now byron you need to stop standing up here peddling all these conspiracy
00:35:38theories that you're on what are you going to ask me next about how aliens built the pyramids come on
00:35:44mate get a grip we can certainly arrange that for a different interview i suppose
00:35:49byron what we want to talk about is judgment day business if that's all right with you
00:35:53all right raquel's gonna go out there and she's about to batter bailey after that her and roxanne
00:35:59are shaping up to bring more gold back to the judgment day clubhouse oh good luck to raquel rodriguez
00:36:05later on tonight but speaking of gold when do you guys actually plan on defending your world tag team
00:36:10titles again hang on a second listen don't get too hot is this another one of these conspiracy theories
00:36:17that you're on well let me hit you with some truth okay we are the wwe tag team champions and until
00:36:30somebody can beat us that is a fact of life
00:36:39now i'm pretty sure i seen a tin foil hat downstairs so let me run along get that for you
00:36:47and i'll be right back or not thanks for that and thank you for your time the world tag team
00:36:54champions finn balor and jd mcdonough as i mentioned raquel rodriguez will go one-on-one with bailey

00:37:50out with the aussies and i'll tell you this i cannot wait to find out who is the superlative best
00:37:56wrestler on planet earth at crown jewel i'm glad you brought that up because that's what sports really
00:38:02should be right best versus best champ versus champion and at this moment in time that means
00:38:07we get a very intriguing matchup because it's cody rhodes against seth rollins here's a look at their
00:38:13shared history
00:38:14i wouldn't cross me if i was you i wouldn't cross me
00:38:43when i left wwe i did so because i had to
00:38:50it was a necessity if i was going to become the person i wanted to be
00:38:55the wrestler i wanted to be the champion i had dreamed of being
00:38:59i had to go out and do it on my own terms and so i did
00:39:06and all credit to you cody
00:39:07you saw sickness eating you from within and you did what needed to be done to cut it out
00:39:15and that is to be commended but in your absence wwe moved right along and i was at the forefront
00:39:25i was its architect its messiah its champion a visionary a revolutionary i put this company on
00:39:35my back and carried it into a golden age and what was my reward for all of my sacrifice i was
00:39:43literally begging to be given a match on wrestlemania i can understand that resentment seth that
00:39:51bitterness i remember once feeling that way myself but that night in dallas for me that night was a
00:39:59revelation i got to come home and in front of 65 000 screaming fans step into the ring with a
00:40:07generational talent i got to immediately put my hand to the flame and see if i could take the heat
00:40:17if i could measure up with the best wwe and the world had to offer
00:40:22i was baptized by that fire and i walked away knowing i could now write my story
00:40:36i'm happy i was able to provide you with inspiration with which to write your story cody
00:40:43but the fact is our story wasn't over it wasn't over at wrestlemania when you had the element of
00:40:49surprise on your side it wasn't over a backlash either when you held my tights to steal of it
00:40:57now our story needed to go to hell and back
00:41:04hell in a cell
00:41:08it's the most painful night of my career
00:41:13looking back at it probably not the wisest decision i've ever made
00:41:16there are no words to describe what we did to each other the limits that were pushed in the lines
00:41:23that were crossed
00:41:27and yet somehow amidst all that i somehow found respect respect for the singular competitor that you are
00:41:39someone who forces you to raise your game to levels you didn't know you had within you respect for
00:41:45your resilience in the face of immeasurable pain your refusal to just stay down that will forever be a
00:41:56defining victory of my career and you will forever be a defining rival of mine
00:42:04the perfect rings for what we will get when the undisputed wwe champion meets the world heavyweight
00:42:26champion in 12 days crown jewel live saturday october 11 8 a.m eastern time from perth western australia
00:42:35for now let's take you back to last week with baylor
00:42:40let me clear the air after last week okay i should not have walked into your room i should have just
00:42:44waited for you to say come in instead i wanted to find you because i want to talk to you about last
00:42:49week i mean that was awesome i was wondering if you would like to be in my corner tonight
00:42:56with the air cleared valkyria indeed was in bailey's corner against roxanne perez neutralizing
00:43:03interference from raquel and assisting bailey who took matters into her own hands and one rose plant later
00:43:12scored a big win against perez however once again in the aftermath bailey snapped in this inexplicably
00:43:21shoving valkyria over what are questions about the temperament of bailey in the aftermath
00:43:33hey dude
00:43:35what's up oh you're in my t-shirt this week of course you are why wouldn't you be
00:43:40are you still playing mind games don't you have a match like next yeah that's wrong with you

00:43:48you helped me win and it was like old times yeah yeah let's just do exactly what we did last week
00:43:54and i'll go help you win and then you can show me on my ass in front of the entire world
00:44:01lyra you are you have a right to be mad and i've just been going through a lot lately since wrestlemania
00:44:08and you somehow always end up in the middle of it and it's not your fault or your responsibility
00:44:15and i know you said you wanted to keep your distance but i just don't think that i can do this without you
00:44:24i don't know what this is i don't know what we're doing i don't know if you're being genuine
00:44:29i don't know if you're going through something all i know is
00:44:32i can't give you any more second chances you're on your own
00:44:45you can see that reality sinking in with bailey as she makes her way here
00:44:52out to the linova center quite a contrite apology i thought i thought a little disappointed at lyra
00:44:59valkyria i mean you can understand i mean lyra experienced the other side of it last week

00:48:12powerhouse of the women's locker room and bailey she doesn't get in game mode quickly she's going
00:48:21to be in big trouble tonight especially with no backup from lyra valkyria
00:48:33and girls make her say you are rude
00:48:50massive news in boxing zufa boxing will officially get its start in january of 26. led by his excellency

00:49:26watch crawford canelo raquel rodriguez has been in with bailey two times in singles action prior to
00:49:33this the last time back in march able to find a way to the finish line in a women's intercontinental
00:49:38championship number one contender match what are we in store for here wait well raquel rodriguez looks
00:49:44supremely confident and with good reason bigger and stronger than bailey and indeed probably every
00:49:50woman in the locker room she also has on the outside roxanne perez backing her up whereas bailey does
00:49:56not have anyone after that little tête-à -tête with lyra valkyria i will also say
00:50:03we have slammy awards for superstar of the year if we had one for most improved superstar raquel rodriguez
00:50:10would have already won that this is a woman in top form once again and looking at times unstoppable
00:50:17raquel rodriguez a five-time women's tag team champion of course a former nxt champion
00:50:26simply hadn't seen the best of raquel on the main roster until the last few months and really
00:50:32it's been a different woman ever since there is the strength that shows up time and again as bailey had
00:50:38to fight her way out of that compromised position with a series of elbows we also had to fight her
00:50:44way out of the mental disappointment of that issue with lyra valkyria really knocked bailey's mental
00:50:51state for a loop but rejection and that immediately off the bat was a big advantage to big mammy cool who
00:50:58is making it count but you can understand if you're lyra why lyra would make that decision can't you wade
00:51:04you can to an extent but why don't we focus on positive so what's
00:51:11bailey beating down raquel in that corner so much support here from this crowd in robbie north carolina
00:51:18but look at raquel look at the power of her way out of that situation until bailey counters
00:51:24well bailey now fighting from underneath as well you would have to against such a powerful opponent as
00:51:29raquel rodriguez and bailey doing a hell of a job of it until then spoke too soon just gets tossed
00:51:35halfway across the ring that is called the commentator's curse right there i apologize bailey completely
00:51:40my fault this is a raquel who is highly irate tried to get involved in last week's matchup between bailey
00:51:50and roxana was thwarted by lyra valkyria on the outside shoving her into the steel ring post
00:51:56and now perhaps it's bailey who's going to pay the price for that smashing her into that top
00:52:01turnbuckle is rodriguez and driving down a big boot right to the midsection of bailey
00:52:09taunting bailey where's your friend where's your friend this week
00:52:12adding insult to injury now just adding more injury i mean did you just hear that as bailey's
00:52:21back smashed into the corner yeah raquel really is a cheat code at this level
00:52:27just unfeasible levels of strength that most of the women haven't had to combat too often in their
00:52:31careers and even someone as experienced as bailey is really out of sorts in this matchup
00:52:37back elbows by raquel she is being complete control and now bailey locks her up wave
00:52:44barely clinging off at dear life at one point there but got herself a window and has to make it count
00:52:48here one shot just completely wiping bailey out or did it yeah play matador for a moment and it pays off
00:52:57tiley time raquel up in the ropes and using leverage to her advantage there
00:53:02and a suicide dive that drapes her over the barrier this is exactly what
00:53:07bailey has to do against a bigger stronger athlete pick up the pace like this keep peppering raquel with
00:53:13shots and the vet that she is she's doing exactly that this is the kind of form that has taken oh she
00:53:22went for the rana off the apron but instead rodriguez in complete control just spinning her and smashing
00:53:32her into the barrier what power from raquel rodriguez
00:53:45wade the strength that it takes to stand up to a rana attempt off the apron yeah and that is
00:53:52in a nutshell the problem that raquel gives every competitor you're not quite sure
00:53:58what offense you have that will work against raquel because that move from bailey that leap would have
00:54:05taken down literally every other woman on the roster except for raquel from a moment of complete
00:54:13dominance it got turned on its head in a heartbeat and now with the referees back turned roxanne perez
00:54:18getting a little shot in payback from last week and remember bailey without the support of lyra here
00:54:34i mean you just knew roxanne was going to interfere at some point which is exactly
00:54:39what raquel did last week the difference being lyra was here last week to take raquel out and make it a
00:54:45fair fight and a spinning slam into the cover to put her away and the kick out by bailey
00:54:51raquel's not even breathing heavily at this point we're about six minutes deep into this one one-on-one
00:54:57normally at this point exhaustion especially for a powerhouse competitor is starting to kick in but
00:55:03it shows you the kind of conditioning which she can now slow down the pace and make this a stroll
00:55:12in the park nothing nothing coming back the other way from bailey at all
00:55:22and now just toying with her just taking a lot of joy and beating her down draping her over that bottom rope as
00:55:30you see roxanne perez looking out oh and looking for a quick one here is bailey but able to survive
00:55:37it is raquel as she has been total control and back to her physical dominance
00:55:44take your eye off bailey for a second doesn't matter how much of a beat down you have given her
00:55:49as long as there is oxygen in the lungs bailey is always going to be a threat but that threat
00:55:54is going to save you starting to fade
00:56:11frustration now starting to build for raquel who has been so dominant she feels perhaps like she
00:56:17she should have had this one putt away already
00:56:31i'm glad you're with us here great scene at the home of the nhl's carolina hurricanes lenovo center
00:56:46in raleigh north carolina great action between bailey and raquel rodriguez raquel rodriguez has been
00:56:52control for most of the match but bailey trying to mount a comeback against the powerhouse
00:57:03and able to do damage outside on the floor and this is about the for the first sustained
00:57:10series of offense that bailey has been able to put together she's written out a heavy storm
00:57:15throughout this one oh drops the elbow and this is the bailey that got to the top of the mountain
00:57:22world championship after world championship we're getting glimpses of this haven't seen enough
00:57:27of this so far in 25. she has created offensive momentum now as bailey looking to put her away
00:57:37and a kick out by rodriguez who dominated most of this match
00:57:41well but look at this one bailey from the top row little shout out to some former champs from this
00:57:51exact part of the world the hardy boys not quite enough to put that one away however
00:58:00barely charging into that corner against rodriguez she's going up top again use whatever momentum you
00:58:07count against the big strong athlete raquel but that wasn't enough hallway slam second time raquel rodriguez
00:58:14has done just that and now she herself steps right over and gets into the corner with the splash and turns
00:58:21her over into the cover and raquel has been so dominant in this matchup she's losing it now because
00:58:29she cannot understand how anyone is still kicking out sometimes you can be too dominant in a matchup without
00:58:36grabbing victory so the question can i actually beat this person a little reversal there from bailey not
00:58:44quite sure what she pulled up but it worked
00:58:50and we asked for the help of lyra velcro that was denied and now raquel rodriguez hooks the leg again
00:58:58and that left shoulder getting up by bailey baseball back to the jaw of bailey i don't know how bailey is
00:59:05still moving legs must feel like jelly at this point but still trying to grab victory oh she's trying
00:59:12to line up the figure four well she's looking to lock it in we are in north carolina this is flair
00:59:17country and what a way to grab a victory this would be bigger four is locked in by bailey as raquel
00:59:25able to turn it over but bailey gets right back on top of it
00:59:31oh desperately trying to reverse the pressure there perez desperately trying to assist risking a
00:59:36disqualification referee having none of that can she withstand it oh would you look at this raking the
00:59:43eyes is roxanne perez roxanne perez as the ref was looking at raquel rodriguez instead she rakes the eyes as a
00:59:54way for rodriguez to escape it and bailey completely blinded by that defenseless and now there's only one
01:00:00way down to honobo rodriguez
01:00:08here is your winner raquel
01:00:11and let me ask you this joe tess an impressive victory for raquel but how badly did bailey need lyra
01:00:22valkyria ringside tonight but when you're moments away from a submission win with a figure four and now
01:00:28roxanne perez cannot hold back well roxanne perez lost to bailey last week a little payback from that and oh
01:00:40lyra has given it a second thought
01:00:45and she says you know what i've got to do it it's the right thing to do so here comes
01:00:49lyra valkyria wave well bailey saved lyra a couple of weeks ago now returning the favor avoiding this beatdown
01:00:57how gussy is this by lyra valkyria two on one and she's getting the best of them for a moment just a
01:01:04step ahead of the judgment day here but watch out raquel swinging for the fences
01:01:10i mean it really was only a matter of time before two on one
01:01:15over here just driving the knees down to the back
01:01:19of lyra and would you look at the face of bailey
01:01:26she is enraged and now she's on the attack with a massive knee and a beatdown
01:01:34complete transformation in the personality of bailey before our eyes now coming completely undroitable
01:01:40what a major mental shift bailey just experienced
01:01:47and she clears them out to one look at lyra getting beaten down by the judgment day and knew
01:01:53she needed to do something fast
01:01:56and now she's turned her attention to lyra
01:02:01what are you making i don't know what to make of that
01:02:14i don't know what to make of that and just like
01:02:26i don't think lyra knows what to make of that as this is what's been going on and now
01:02:32when she's a little apprehensive and bailey convincing you're missing it's all good
01:02:36it's all good but again with baylor as erratic as they come i'm gonna need some explanations at
01:02:42some point but at least i got my hug hey a reminder tonight we get the rematch of that thrilling
01:02:47wrestlepalooza tag team between the vision and the usos last week the bronze showed up but it was
01:02:54disrupt la night jay uso match wave yes indeed fell apart at the seams when things were going so well
01:03:02for la night a complete momentum then the vision showed up jay uso as this was going down kept his
01:03:09wits about him one spear one splash and a big controversial win for jay uso and in the aftermath
01:03:19jay uso quick to make an exit leaving la night to be beaten down however twin brother jimmy
01:03:29usso didn't like the thought of that grabbed the steel chair saved the day but clearly some tensions
01:03:35between the two usos
01:03:44you ready ready stay ready so we ain't got to get ready come on

01:07:18a night
01:07:20yeah
01:10:48And two-day combo tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.com.
01:10:53That's the way to do it.
01:10:55The two-day combo tickets for WrestleMania 42.
01:10:58Next week, Monday Night Raw on Netflix will be in Dallas, Texas, and it will be an 8 p.m. Eastern start time on Netflix Raw.
01:11:15In Dallas, going to be a great card.
01:11:17We'll tell you about that a little later on, but an 8 p.m. start time next week for Monday Night Raw.
01:11:22Now, the new day, Kofi Kingston, a 15-time tag team champion, of course, most recently overly grieving the loss of those titles.
01:11:33Well, we've got another reason to grieve this week, haven't we, Joe Tass?
01:11:38What is that?
01:11:38Well, the new day is no more.
01:11:42Well, the new day is no more.
01:11:42Grayson Waller, not here tonight.
01:11:45Took that Mexican destroyer from Penta last week in that six-man tag team on Monday Night Raw.
01:11:53I propose that we observe decorum and we commentate this one in silence in memorandum of the neck of Grayson Waller.
01:12:04It was one of the most spectacular moments we've seen on Monday Night Raw to see what Penta was able to pull off against Grayson Waller.
01:12:13Spectacular.
01:12:14It was an offensive attack that should be celebrated.
01:12:16No, no, no. Spectacular is how you describe the x-ray of Big G Grayson Waller's neck.
01:12:22Did you see the fan reaction?
01:12:24Did you see how viral the video went?
01:12:27That x-ray looked like a Jackson Pollock painting.
01:12:30Neck x-rays aren't supposed to look like that, Joe.
01:12:33It's a move that should be back.
01:12:35LA Knight, earlier tonight, was having a conversation with Adam Pearce when he was interrupted by the new day.
01:12:43And that is how we have arrived here.
01:12:46Now this hooks the leg.
01:12:48We're going to put him away, but just a count of one.
01:12:50And a little early to get after it was LA Knight.
01:12:52To be clear, the conversation you're referring to, LA Knight made it clear to GM Adam Pearce post-crown duel.
01:12:59He wants the next crack at Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship.
01:13:03Well, if LA Knight does want that, he needs wins now.
01:13:07A losing streak does not a number one contender make.
01:13:10So it's imperative that the Megastar gets a dub this evening.
01:13:15Of course, Kofi Kingston was quick to remind him, as he is often to remind everybody, that he is a former WWE Champion.
01:13:21Well, you say that begrudgingly.
01:13:23Here's the issue with Kingston.
01:13:25He is a former WWE Champion.
01:13:27The problem is, nobody else ever brings it up for some reason.
01:13:30I just didn't.
01:13:30You don't pretend like he didn't.
01:13:32You only brought it up just claiming that he brought it up.
01:13:34You didn't bring it up of your own volition.
01:13:37It's a cheap shot again, Joe Tess.
01:13:39LA Knight looking for an attack, but instead, Kingston with a knee.
01:13:42Yeah, this is more like it.
01:13:46Do it for Big G.
01:13:48Kingston, he's a cover.
01:13:50And a two count.
01:13:52And this night's able to survive.
01:13:53And right back to working that left shoulder on LA Knight is Kofi Kingston.
01:13:58Well, LA Knight has had several opportunities at World Heavyweight Championships.
01:14:02Often not through his own fault, through skullduggery, he has missed out.
01:14:07But there is, at least on paper, a differential between these two competitors.
01:14:11There's one man who has been to the top.
01:14:13Another man who has almost got to the top, but not quite made it there.
01:14:17And that's why the favorite has to be Kingston.
01:14:21Still to come this evening, of course, that massive Tornado tag team rematch.
01:14:26The Vision taking on the Usos.
01:14:28That will be sheer bedlam.
01:14:30Cannot wait later on this evening.
01:14:32Of course, Bront Raker and Big Bronson Reed defeated the Usos at Wrestlepalooza.
01:14:36LA Knight was the guest referee.
01:14:39He was very challenged to stay the course with his duties that night.
01:14:44Smart for Kingston there, draping that top rope along the throat.
01:14:49By the bigger, more powerful LA Knight.
01:14:51But quick to bounce back is the Megastar.
01:14:54As he sends Kofi out onto the four.
01:14:57He sees Xavier Woods right at his back.
01:14:59As he drives his head, slamming it to the top of that barrier.
01:15:03Time and again, the crowd cannot get enough here in Raleigh, North Carolina.
01:15:09Xavier Woods trying to act like a distraction.
01:15:12He's just antagonizing the Megastar to up the ante against Kingston here.
01:15:16I was better at TN than you are.
01:15:19Whatever Woods was trying simply did not work there.
01:15:21In fact, it has backfired for his tag partner, Kofi Kingston.
01:15:24He's driving that elbow down.
01:15:27Oh, hey, Woods.
01:15:28How do you like that?
01:15:29I am not in this match.
01:15:30I am not wrestling in this match.
01:15:33Oh, a little skin.
01:15:34The cat dropkick sends LA Knight flying into the barrier.
01:15:37It took about 45 seconds, but that distract did indeed work.
01:15:41Oh!
01:15:41And the Megastar has done a 180 in this match.
01:15:46With Woods right in his face after he just got smashed into the post.
01:15:51And now Kofi Kingston in control.
01:15:55Thank God for the New Day.
01:15:57Let's go.
01:15:59Total momentum for Kofi.
01:16:01There you go, baby.
01:16:11What a turn of events here in the midst of this match, Wade.
01:16:16Turn of events.
01:16:18One major distraction from Xavier Woods.
01:16:21And someone the caliber of Kofi Kingston is always going to grab that opportunity with two hands.
01:16:26Now we punish him.
01:16:28We don't get him.
01:16:29We punish him.
01:16:30Do, do, do.
01:16:30I mean, can you hear Xavier Woods?
01:16:32He is so loud every time we try to broadcast a match.
01:16:35He basically hovers over us as if he's the third voice on commentary.
01:16:39He's simply singing the praises of his brother, his good friend, his tag partner, Kofi Kingston.
01:16:46It's a good job.
01:16:46Somebody's doing that around here, Joe.
01:16:48He can do it from about 20 feet away.
01:16:50He doesn't even need a microphone.
01:16:52Save some money.
01:16:54Cheap to run, no electricity.
01:16:58Can't bleep him, though.
01:16:59That's the problem.
01:17:01Look at Kofi Kingston applying that pressure across the neck of LA Knight.
01:17:06Oh, what a cheap shot from Woods.
01:17:10Absolute cheap shot from Xavier Woods.
01:17:15Kingston with all his experience making a massive error there with LA Knight tied up in the ropes.
01:17:20Well, why not use the ropes to your advantage?
01:17:22That's more of the experience that I've come to know and love.
01:17:25I'll tell you right now, Kofi Kingston, one of the absolute best I personally ever got in the ring with.
01:17:30And I'd say he's added to that skill set in the years since and certainly added to the mindset.
01:17:37Far more brutal and vicious now than he ever has been historically.
01:17:46Again, trying to work on that left shoulder, that left arm.
01:17:50That has been a consistent, what are you doing?
01:17:51He's putting a little air guitar.
01:17:54Woods is a bassist.
01:17:55I've seen it on his Twitter.
01:17:57He analyzed the match in front of you.
01:17:59I'm focusing on that.
01:18:00Two things at once, Joe Test, called multitasking.
01:18:07Woods is having a real good time tonight,
01:18:09which is more than can be said for the megastar,
01:18:11who is getting the beating of a lifetime, but trying to turn this around.
01:18:15And instead, it's an elbow by Kofi Kingston that drops him to his knees again.
01:18:27You're one of those people who turned their back on the new day, Joe Test.
01:18:31I never did.
01:18:31I've been with them from the beginning.
01:18:34I think they turned their back on somebody very special and dear,
01:18:37a colleague of ours on WWE Broadcasting,
01:18:41as well as one of the most beloved superstars in the history of this industry.
01:18:46Turn their back on an albatross.
01:18:48I'm sorry?
01:18:49Holding them down then, upgraded with big G Langston.
01:18:53Sadly, there's no witness.
01:18:55Kick the line.
01:18:57Go!
01:18:58Go!
01:18:59Go!
01:19:00Go!
01:19:00Go!
01:19:00Go!
01:19:01Go!
01:19:01Go!
01:19:01Go!
01:19:01Go!
01:19:01Go!
01:19:07It's a huge crowd here at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
01:19:12And for the last few minutes,
01:19:14they've been watching Kofi Kingston, Wade, get the best of LA Knight.
01:19:17Yeah, they are not impressed with what they're seeing.
01:19:19And the ultimate hype man, Xavier Woods, on the outside, loving what he's seeing.
01:19:24But right now, the megastar trying to tap into the abundant Kvorka in this arena.
01:19:30Drawn on that energy here with a series of right hands.
01:19:33Oh, and that was so smart of Kingston to follow him up and trip him up.
01:19:40One of the greatest movers in the history of this industry, Kofi Kingston.
01:19:45And it paid dividends there against the megastar.
01:19:47He's going up top.
01:19:48He thinks he's got him in position.
01:19:52Tomahawk chop to the temple.
01:19:55And the kickout at two and change.
01:19:58Right now.
01:19:59Yeah.
01:20:00Yeah.
01:20:01I agree.
01:20:03New Day does indeed rock.
01:20:05And they will be rocking tonight if they pull out a victory here against the megastar.
01:20:10Who looks completely spent.
01:20:12And that cheap shot from Woods is not going to help matters.
01:20:14Second time we've seen Xavier Woods do just that.
01:20:17There's a hook of the leg by Kofi Kingston.
01:20:19Look at him win this thing.
01:20:21And LA Knight able to push off with that right hand.
01:20:28Right hand to the body.
01:20:29And he goes with another body shot.
01:20:32And now comes upstairs against Kingston as the megastar.
01:20:36Looking to rally back.
01:20:37Remember, it's the megastar who asked for this match.
01:20:40Kofi Kingston wanted no part of it.
01:20:41But that tyrant, Adam Pearce, forced Kingston into the match.
01:20:46And Kingston, I think, has been wobbled by something here.
01:20:48He can barely stand up straight.
01:20:50Oh.
01:20:51Kofi's in a bad way.
01:20:53He's summing up with Kofi.
01:20:54I'm not quite sure what he got wobbled on, but clearly he got hit by something.
01:21:00Do you think it's up?
01:21:02Do you think it's up?
01:21:03Do you think it's up?
01:21:05And big shoulder tackle over the top rope by LA Knight.
01:21:11And this one turned around in a hurry.
01:21:13I think there might have been a bang of heads at one point.
01:21:16And Kofi Kingston now looking like a different human being.
01:21:19Looks like he's on a different planet in front of him.
01:21:21Oh, man, oh, man, the jumping neckbreaker.
01:21:28One question for you, Joe.
01:21:29Whose game is it?
01:21:31Oh, you know.
01:21:32And this crowd's going to say it right now.
01:21:34One, two, three, one, yeah!
01:21:38Oh, but instead of the leaping elbow,
01:21:41Woodsy comes up onto the apron.
01:21:43And now Kofi looking for the win.
01:21:45Feet on the ropes as well, but it's not enough to keep the megastar down.
01:21:49Referee missed all of that.
01:21:51And Kofi now with that second win badly needed
01:21:55because he looked complete toast a few moments ago.
01:21:59This time, Knight gets out of the way.
01:22:02Going for trouble in paradise.
01:22:04Unable to deliver.
01:22:06Out the back door.
01:22:08Oh!
01:22:09He does it!
01:22:11One, two, three!
01:22:12A BFT on Kofi!
01:22:16Here is your winner, Hell, Hey, Knight!
01:22:22Well, the megastar was a man on a mission this evening.
01:22:26Laid down the gauntlet to Adam Pearce a little earlier on.
01:22:30Needed a dub and got it in a big way.
01:22:32Kingston going for trouble in paradise.
01:22:35Managing to land on his feet.
01:22:36But out of no way!
01:22:38One of those BFTs with Xavier Woods already dropped.
01:22:42Unable to come for the air to Kofi.
01:22:43Big win for the megastar.
01:22:45That is momentum.
01:22:47The megastar grabs the win here in Raleigh.
01:22:51Of course, Wade, we are less than two weeks away
01:22:54to find out who's going to get that giant 50-carat crown jewel,
01:22:57that massive belt that they will pose with.
01:22:59Of course, the ring you also get with crown jewel
01:23:02and the prize championship that you can hold on forever
01:23:05on your finger.
01:23:06On Friday night's SmackDown just a few days ago,
01:23:09Cody Rhodes had a deal with Seth Rollins' vision.
01:23:11Probably not a good decision on my part,
01:23:17but what the hell?
01:23:19Cody apparently ready for what has to be an unwinnable fight
01:23:24against two of the most vicious stars.
01:23:28And things, of course, took a few seconds
01:23:30before they looked incredibly bleak
01:23:32until the Viper, Randy Orton, arrived
01:23:36raising his standard brand of hell.
01:23:40taking out the vision one by one.
01:23:44RKO after RKO.
01:23:46Cody assisting in Cleaning House.
01:23:48Big thank you to the Viper, Randy Orton,
01:23:51for saving the WWE champ's bacon.
01:23:54For now, at least.
01:23:57You're doing great.
01:23:59You're doing amazing.
01:24:00Thank you, Gisela.
01:24:01I know what you're doing.
01:24:02Yeah, I'm so proud of you.
01:24:03I feel good.
01:24:04I'm excited for what's next.
01:24:05You're so proud of her?
01:24:06What has she done?
01:24:07She hasn't done anything great.
01:24:08No, who have you beaten?
01:24:09Have you beaten anybody?
01:24:10Has she beaten anybody?
01:24:11No, you're a loser, okay?
01:24:13You're five foot nine inches of failure.
01:24:17Becky, when I went to Pierce last week about a match,
01:24:20I was hoping he would give me you.
01:24:22Because who better to face than the greatest female wrestler of all time?
01:24:28That's what you say.
01:24:28No, everyone says that, okay?
01:24:30Sports Illustrated says it.
01:24:32Bleacher Report says it.
01:24:33Everybody says it.
01:24:34A lot of people say it.
01:24:35No, everybody says it.
01:24:36Basically, everyone, everyone except for AJ Lee.
01:24:42AJ Lee?
01:24:47What the hell is wrong with you?
01:24:51This has nothing to do with Tozawa.
01:24:53Leave him out of it.
01:24:54What is your problem?
01:24:55I got out of my system.
01:24:56I got out of my system.
01:24:58Are you okay?
01:24:59Are you okay, T?
01:25:00My God.
01:25:01I almost really got you.
01:25:02You think you're going to make it out of later?
