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!
00:02:58Welcome back, A.J. Lee!
00:03:03And arriving here in Bruce City, the world heavyweight champion, Seth Rollins, the man-
00:03:18The man, Becky Lynch.
00:03:19Of course, she's the Intercontinental Champ.
00:03:22But no title in hand.
00:03:24A.J. Lee grabbed it.
00:03:25And for the first time in more than a decade,
00:03:26A.J. Lee returns to Raw tonight
00:03:29as we're at the Loud and Rockin'
00:03:31by-serve arena here in Milwaukee.
00:03:41Twelve days until Wrestle Palooza.
00:03:43So much to be determined.
00:03:44For now, recent brotherly love reunion
00:03:47that will blow the roof off any arena
00:03:49will get us started.
00:03:51A.J. Lee.
00:03:52You can see the battleground.
00:03:53Oh,
00:04:23All together again.
00:04:53Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jimmy and main event, Jey The Uso.
00:05:15It feels like day one all over again.
00:05:18All is right in the world.
00:05:20Jimmy and Jey Uso reunited, making their way toward the ring to kick off Monday Night Raw.
00:05:29No doubt about it, Corey.
00:05:30The family that's been stretched to the limits, challenged, divided.
00:05:33Roman, of course, recently demolished in Paris.
00:05:35But in the end, the twin brothers by each other's side, always having each other's back in moments like this.
00:05:43What a great reception here in Milwaukee.
00:05:46One of the most prolific tag teams in WWE history.
00:05:51Man, this feels good, Joe Tess.
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 Tessitore with you, Wade Barrett on a well-deserved vacation.
00:06:27But the man who does everything in our company is right here, Corey Graves.
00:06:30My man is so great to be with you.
00:06:32It's so weird.
00:06:33The 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.
00:06:39I'm excited to work alongside you.
00:06:40We get a couple of Ross together.
00:06:42Corey, last week, Jey Uso found himself in a little bit of trouble before Big Jim's arrival.
00:06:46In the wake of an incredible tag team contest with Braun and Braun of the Vision, 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.
00:07:05Nearly speared in half by Breaker.
00:07:09And then Jey Uso crushed under the weight of a tsunami.
00:07:13But when Jey had no one left to turn to, you can always count on family.
00:07:18All right.
00:07:48Right back to it.
00:07:59They wanted it.
00:08:00They're getting it.
00:08:01Cream City has just turned into Yeet City tonight for Munjay Night Raw.
00:08:22Oh, there's a handoff.
00:08:25That's more your territory.
00:08:27You call it that.
00:08:27I said the Usos are now in your division.
00:08:57Seth Rollins, the Brownies, the Bronsons, the Brussos, Brown Breaker, Bronson Reed, y'all messed up, you screwed up, us.
00:09:16No, the dangerous duo of destruction for the vision.
00:09:31The tribal thief, Bronson Reed, the badass Brong Breaker, out here looking for trouble already.
00:09:42They 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.
00:10:03This is Monday Night Raw, Usos.
00:10:07The vision runs Monday Night Raw.
00:10:10The dogs run Monday Night Raw.
00:10:22Man, y'all got some nerve coming out here standing in our ring after what y'all's family did to Paul Heyman.
00:10:33Beat y'all, man!
00:10:35Not tonight.
00:10:48Not tonight.
00:10:50Tonight, all I want from Roman's family is to acknowledge their tribal thief.
00:11:02Big Jim, listen to Big Bronson.
00:11:27You were not a factor in Seth Rollins' vision when you were on SmackDown.
00:11:34But now, you're here on Monday.
00:11:37Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:41Rollins, Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:45Shut up!
00:11:47Rollins, Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:50We don't need to listen to these people.
00:11:52Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:54Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:57Rollins, Rollins, Rollins!
00:11:59And you're coming back.
00:12:01We already dealt with him.
00:12:03And we're going to deal with you too now, Jimmy.
00:12:06And if you want to know how that goes down, just look at your cousin sitting in the hospital.
00:12:13Hey, how about you shut your mouth when you talk about the OTC?
00:12:16Hey, Braun Breaker, to answer your question, yeah, Big Jim, know where I'm at.
00:12:26I'm right here on Muntin' Jane Night Raw.
00:12:32Hey, you know what?
00:12:33There it is.
00:12:35I'm very happy to be standing in front of the vision.
00:12:37Because I do remember Seth J&J Security, but who the hell we got here?
00:12:41More like PBJ and J Security.
00:12:43Hey, we know who you two punks are.
00:12:48Let me remind you who's standing in the ring.
00:12:50You the Twos.
00:12:51And we the...
00:12:54I don't know what irks me more.
00:12:57I don't know what irks me more.
00:12:58Either because you two got the same damn name,
00:13:00or you're over here taking orders from a...
00:13:01Man, what's his name?
00:13:03Paul Heyman?
00:13:06Yo, yo, I got you.
00:13:08You're taking orders from Paul Heyman.
00:13:11A.K.A. The Advocate.
00:13:13A.K.A. The Wise Man.
00:13:15A.K.A. The Orca.
00:13:16He built like one.
00:13:17A.K.A.
00:13:18In the world...
00:13:19He is, he is.
00:13:22A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:26Dumbass!
00:13:26A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:29A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:30I'm gonna call it.
00:13:31I'm gonna...
00:13:32I'm telling you, I'm gonna call it.
00:13:33A.K.A. The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:33So check this out.
00:13:35Check this out, Milwaukee.
00:13:36They wanna come out here and make a name for themselves.
00:13:39Cool.
00:13:40Guess what we did?
00:13:41We went to Adam Pierce.
00:13:42We rapped with him.
00:13:44And guess it?
00:13:45It's Breaker and Big Cam Bronson Reed.
00:13:48At Russell Palooza,
00:13:49you're going against the best damn tag team in the game.
00:13:52Jimmy and Jay.
00:13:54The Words of the Tribal Chief.
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:59Hey, but check it out, Milwaukee.
00:14:01We ain't even gotta wait.
00:14:02We getting jiggy right now.
00:14:05Hey.
00:14:06Talk to him.
00:14:07Roll letters.
00:14:08Roll letters.
00:14:10O.K.A.
00:14:12No, no, no, no, no.
00:14:13We can wait.
00:14:15Because we can wait to wrestle Palooza.
00:14:17Not tonight.
00:14:18Milwaukee doesn't get to see this match.
00:14:20Wait a minute.
00:14:21That's LA nice.
00:14:23Of course, LA Knight has something to say about it.
00:14:26He's got a major issue with Braun and Bronson Corey.
00:14:29So much unfinished business for the megastar.
00:14:32The defiant LA Knight out here all on his own.
00:14:35Trying to bring the fight to the vision.
00:14:38But LA being overwhelmed by these two powerhouses.
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:41Two on one right now.
00:14:43Big Bronson Reed.
00:14:44And the badass Braun Breaker.
00:14:47After last week's brutal attack.
00:14:48Wait a minute.
00:14:49Whoa.
00:14:50Uso.
00:14:51They go flying.
00:14:52Big Jim and Main Event Jay bringing the fight to Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker.
00:15:01What an announcement.
00:15:02Wrestle Palooza.
00:15:03Get ready.
00:15:06Each delivering blow after blow.
00:15:09To Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:11Reed.
00:15:12Reed and Breaker in the unfamiliar position of being outnumbered right now.
00:15:15And here's Breaker back in the midst.
00:15:22Super kick Lance Blush.
00:15:24Super kick Lance Blush.
00:15:27Big Bronson trying to gather himself.
00:15:29He wanted to put the BFT.
00:15:31Two.
00:15:32Two.
00:15:33Two.
00:15:33One.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:34Two.
00:15:35Two.
00:15:35Two.
00:15:35Two.
00:15:36Two.
00:15:36Two.
00:15:36Two.
00:15:36Two.
00:15:36Two.
00:15:37Two.
00:15:37Two.
00:15:38Two.
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
00:16:02that we showed you.
00:16:04You can see still a little bit of a communication issue arguing between L.A. Knight and Jay Uso.
00:16:11You know what happened in Paris.
00:16:12There's still plenty of tension between Jay Uso, 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.
00:16:23What an announcement for Wrestlepalooza.
00:16:25Wrestlepalooza, you heard it.
00:16:26You're going to have the bronze against the Usos.
00:16:28That's coming your way September 20th from Indy.
00:16:31Now we do have a programming note.
00:16:32Raw Netflix, a special start time next week.
00:16:35It'll be 7 p.m. Eastern.
00:16:37Corey, let's take everyone back to last week when Dom Mysterio got a helping hand in defending
00:16:41his 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.
00:16:53El 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
00:17:03Luchadores.
00:17:04Dirty Dom to deliver a frog splash.
00:17:07And still.
00:17:08And still.
00:17:08Go!
00:17:08The following contest is imperfect.
00:17:13You're blind.
00:17:14What a Seems like.
00:17:16Dirty Dom!
00:17:18Go!
00:17:18Yeah!
00:17:18Give it to me!

00:19:25Dominic Mysterio got his little buddy
00:19:35That coffee bean Americano
00:19:37To get involved in my match
00:19:38It cost me the Intercontinental Championship
00:19:41And to be honest with you
00:19:48It could have been my fault
00:19:52You see, for the first time in my career
00:19:55I've got no one watching my back
00:19:58Gallows, Anderson, they're not here
00:20:06Meech and she's on SmackDown
00:20:11It's like someone orchestrated
00:20:14A way for me
00:20:16Not to win anymore
00:20:18Not to have help
00:20:20I'll let you make your own conclusions

00:20:37But somebody
00:20:39Doesn't want me here
00:20:41So
00:20:51What we're gonna do
00:20:54Is you're gonna beat the piss out of
00:20:57Grande Americano tonight

00:21:05That doesn't want me here anymore
00:21:07Can feel a little bit of his pain

00:21:54Well, why don't you let me go work on it
00:21:55Yeah, why don't you go work on it
00:21:56I will handle it
00:21:57Thank you
00:21:57I will have one
00:21:58L.A., L.A., we obviously saw what happened out there
00:22:01With 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
00:22:05What it's safe to assume
00:22:06Is that we're over here talking about what I need
00:22:08What I want right now
00:22:09And instead I'm hearing about
00:22:10Well, there's a tag team match at Wrestlepalooza
00:22:13It's The Usos
00:22:15It's The Vision
00:22:16Yeah
00:22:16Like I care about their little family reeling
00:22:18I don't care about that
00:22:20What I want is what's mine
00:22:21But first and foremost
00:22:22Jey Uso out there thinking
00:22:24What, I threw Bronson Reed into you on purpose?
00:22:27Huh?
00:22:28Are you serious?
00:22:30Really, if you think
00:22:31That I needed to take you out
00:22:32If that's what you think I would do
00:22:33I'd do it right to your damn face, my man
00:22:35This ain't a problem
00:22:36But if you want to make it a problem
00:22:37I ain't a hard man to find
00:22:39So come on over and find me
00:22:40What I need
00:22:41What I want
00:22:42I want one of the bronze
00:22:43Give 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
00:22:55I want him in the ring
00:22:56And 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
00:23:01And stomp the piss out of him
00:23:02Yeah!
00:23:04LA Knight in a fighting mood here tonight on Raw
00:23:07We're gonna find out if he gets his wish
00:23:08Joe, 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 Miliwake tonight
00:23:19Because AJ Styles, just like LA Knight, incredibly fired up
00:23:22EL GRANDE AMERICANO!
00:23:24EL GRANDE AMERICANO!
00:23:25EL GRANDE AMERICANO!
00:23:27EL GRANDE AMERICANO!
00:23:31EL GRANDE AMERICANO!
00:23:44And his opponent, from the Gulf of America, weighing in at 202 pounds, El Grande Americano!
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
00:23:59with 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
00:24:08when AJ Styles thought he was closing in on taking the Intercontinental Championship.
00:24:12Oh, and you can see how bothered Styles is with that thought.
00:24:16He thought he was closing in on beating Dirty Dom.
00:24:19El Grande Americano head-butted him in the chest, teed things up for Dirty Dom.
00:24:23And now AJ's right on top of him, Corey.
00:24:26Styles eager to take his pound of flesh from El Grande Americano,
00:24:30who has drawn the ire of the Phenomenal One.
00:24:33AJ not waiting for the bell to ring, bringing the fight to the legendary Luchito.
00:24:41Big chop because he had him teed up against that barrier.
00:24:44And a right hand just buckles his knees.
00:24:48I feel a little bad for El Grande Americano,
00:24:50who was competing for Triple-A last night in Mexico
00:24:52with a long trip here to Milwaukee,
00:24:54and 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,
00:25:08this kind of aggression from AJ Styles right now.
00:25:10This is a man on a mission.
00:25:12AJ Styles gets away from that big right hand.
00:25:17Pele kick.
00:25:18Pele kick lands well.
00:25:20And 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.
00:25:31Right on point, as always, the phenomenal AJ Styles
00:25:37in quite the mood tonight, unfortunately, for El Grande Americano.
00:25:43And, Corey, I just can't help but think,
00:25:45when you're sitting there and you're trying to line up the phenomenal forum,
00:25:48you think you've got it in the grasp of your hand,
00:25:51and 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
00:26:01here in WWE and around the wrestling world.
00:26:04And right now, Styles is using that frustration as motivation
00:26:07to lay a beat down on El Grande Americano.
00:26:11Mention the success that Americano has had.
00:26:14Oh, 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...
00:26:25Dos Grande!
00:26:27The other Americano.
00:26:31How'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
00:26:43as his knee crashed into the steel steps.
00:26:47With a little help, El Grande Americano and Dos.
00:26:52Dos.
00:26:54What is it?
00:26:57It wasn't long ago that fans were shocked when another luchador came out
00:27:11and it happened again moments ago.
00:27:14A second Americano.
00:27:17Well, listen, 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.
00:27:30And now with that,
00:27:33El Grande is taking advantage here in Milwaukee.
00:27:38Nearly ran into the big boot,
00:27:40but instead delivers a right hand.
00:27:44Americano able to weather the early emotional storm from AJ Styles.
00:27:50And the arrival of the second mysterious luchador was the tide turner.
00:27:54Americano was in search of.
00:27:57Let him go, let him go.
00:27:59Oh!
00:28:01Watch me, girl.
00:28:04Oh, she's playing.
00:28:08El Grande Americano,
00:28:09no doubt one of the most elegant luchadors in the history of Lucha Libre.
00:28:14A 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
00:28:45came in and interfered as all that emotion,
00:28:49all that rage that had built up over the past week
00:28:52for AJ Styles came out before we even had the bell to start this match.
00:28:57And then all of a sudden,
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.
00:29:11Drop 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.
00:29:24Now Grande stomping down on that hand.
00:29:27It'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.
00:29:44Make no mistake about it, AJ Styles knows many, many ways to hurt an opponent.
00:29:48Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:30:02A big crowd here at Five Serve Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:30:05Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves with you.
00:30:08AJ Styles came out and raged against El Grande Americano.
00:30:13And 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 as Americano jumps right back on top of Styles, Corey.
00:30:28While Americano may have gotten control of this matchup by controversial means,
00:30:33Americano has not slowed down.
00:30:35He has proven to be absolutely relentless,
00:30:37understanding you're not going to get a chance to 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.
00:31:02Getting his feet underneath him.
00:31:06Oh, but he eats a big boot just when he thought he had a bit of momentum.
00:31:12And El Grande plays to the crowd every which way.
00:31:15Looking for the DDT.
00:31:16Oh, exploder!
00:31:17He reversed it.
00:31:18What a great counter by Styles.
00:31:20Tremendous counter by AJ Styles.
00:31:23Buying himself again some valuable time to recover after the onslaught of offense from El Grande Americano.
00:31:30You see the second, El Grande, off to the side.
00:31:36He's critical in turning this match.
00:31:39But all of a sudden, AJ Styles.
00:31:41The will, the grit, the desire.
00:31:47Styles now with that phenomenal blitz.
00:31:49And that blitz puts down El Grande.
00:31:52The striking combination.
00:31:56And Styles now has gathered momentum.
00:32:00El Grande in all types of trouble.
00:32:04AJ Styles continuing to soldier forward.
00:32:06Muscling up the luchador.
00:32:08Able to switch.
00:32:10Eats an elbow.
00:32:11El Grande trying to reposition himself.
00:32:13A look at AJ.
00:32:14Here it comes.
00:32:18Rack bomb.
00:32:19Into the cover.
00:32:21And a kick out by El Grande.
00:32:24That's got to be frustrating for AJ Styles.
00:32:26Reaching 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.
00:32:40Deep 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.
00:32:55Wow.
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.
00:33:09And L.A. Knight will be our main event here on Raw.
00:33:12Look at that!
00:33:13My, oh my!
00:33:14The athleticism!
00:33:16El Grande!
00:33:17Americano!
00:33:18Oh!
00:33:18And AJ survives it!
00:33:21Take another look at this spectacular athleticism.
00:33:25Walking the rope for the greatest of ease
00:33:27into something of a blockbuster.
00:33:29El Grande very nearly tasted victory after that one.
00:33:32He has to go over the top with that balance
00:33:34and turn it into a blockbuster.
00:33:36Nearly two-thirds across the ring.
00:33:39No, Bronson.
00:33:40Oh, he's looking for the bomb, but instead...
00:33:42Oh, wait a minute.
00:33:43AJ, great wear with all by Styles.
00:33:46Dislogging the mask of Americano.
00:33:49And with that, an opportunity for Styles.
00:33:53Oh, 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!
00:34:04Run!
00:34:05Oh, and he sends Dose flying!
00:34:07Watch out, AJ!
00:34:08Oh!
00:34:09Need a heads up!
00:34:10The roll-up!
00:34:11But instead, how about this sequence?
00:34:14Look at Styles!
00:34:15The technical skill!
00:34:16Right into the Styles Clash opportunity!
00:34:20Are you kidding me?
00:34:22One!
00:34:22One skill!
00:34:24One technique!
00:34:28Here is your winner!
00:34:31The phenomenal AJ Styles!
00:34:36How many guys can do that, Corey?
00:34:39One.
00:34:40The phenomenal one.
00:34:43AJ Styles.
00:34:45Able to get past El Grande, Americano, and company thanks to an assist by a man called
00:34:52The Future of Lucha Libre by Rey Mysterio himself, the red-hot Dragon Lee, which after
00:34:59an incredible technical exchange by both Americano and Styles, AJ rolls through, muscles up the
00:35:08luchador, and 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.
00:35:26While we're talking about Lucha, Joe, big 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 for the AAA Mega Championship between Dirty Don Mysterio
00:35:41and 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.
00:35:53Let's go to Vegas, baby!
00:35:56Anyway, the bottom line, you know, is Stephanie right there was on the law 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.
00:36:10I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:36:11Are there any updates on Stephanie?
00:36:13Funny enough, I was just telling EO.
00:36:15Okay.
00:36:15Cancel the contract signing.
00:36:17But I see no reason why Stephanie won't be ready to go for the title match at Russell Palooza.
00:36:21Everybody can rest easy.
00:36:22Okay?
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, I mean, you and Stephanie are going to have such a good match for the women's world title.
00:36:33Oh my gosh, you can't leave, Nikki.
00:36:38Um, excuse me, Asuka.
00:36:40I was in the middle of having a conversation with EO.
00:36:43Stay away from EO.
00:36:45You have nothing to say to her.
00:36:48Uh, actually, I do.
00:36:50And you know what?
00:36:51Asuka, you don't have to like me, but you will respect me.
00:36:55Respect?
00:36:57Respect?
00:36:58Oh, how about I beat the respect out of you tonight?
00:37:08You're on.
00:37:16EO-san, I'm sorry.
00:37:19No worries.
00:37:27The Asuka's a lot.
00:37:29A lot.
00:37:30So the opening was created for both women when Naomi made her proceed with caution baby on board announcement.
00:37:36And both were lined up for a title shot.
00:37:38And now, Stephanie Bacare, EO Sky will face each other for the gold.
00:37:43Wrestle Palooza, September 20th.
00:37:45Netflix internationally in the U.S., the enhanced ESPN app, enhanced ESPN app.
00:37:51How about that interaction between Asuka and Nikki Bella?
00:37:56Wow.
00:37:57Adam Pearce certainly has his hands full tonight.
00:37:59The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:38:13Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland, Lyra Valkyrie.
00:38:21Now, she's taken on every challenge thrown at her.
00:38:24And after the brutal rivalry with Becky Lynch, Lyra Valkyrie just walks back to business inside the ropes.
00:38:31It is Lyra against Raquel Rodriguez when we come back, as this matchup is presented by Credit One Bank.
00:38:38Don't go anywhere.
00:38:40Lyra in action.
00:38:41Next on Raw.
00:39:01Here we await Wrestle Palooza, where we will crown a new Women's World Champion.
00:39:07I can guarantee you this, Joe.
00:39:09Lyra Valkyrie 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.
00:39:23Listen, in recent years, but specifically with some of the challenges 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.
00:39:47It's interesting when you look at the Women's Division and you take in the perspective when, you know, we're sitting here with everybody buzzing about the return of AJ Lee.
00:39:54On a night when we just saw Nikki Bella, and you think about how much has evolved through the years.
00:40:00And the kind of talent we have and the depth on the roster when you see somebody like Lyra.
00:40:05You're absolutely right, and Nikki Bella deserves the praise and the accolades.
00:40:09She was one of the pioneers that really led us to this point.
00:40:12But with that said, Nikki's found out firsthand.
00:40:14The game has changed.
00:40:16You leave for 10 years, even AJ Lee is going to have to deal with the learning curve should she step back in between the ropes again.
00:40:23Just a little later on.
00:40:35And her opponent, accompanying Barak Santorez, from Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
00:40:43Representing 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.
00:41:38Well, you know the headlines.
00:41:57Everybody talking about the return of A.J. Lee.
00:42:01The 178 million social views of A.J. Lee's return.
00:42:07The most new SmackDown highlight of the year on X and Instagram accounts for WWE.
00:42:15178 million social views.
00:42:18It's been an incredible career for A.J. Lee that now gets a second act after a 10-year gap.
00:42:27I promised all of you I would redefine.
00:42:31The term diva, and I am very proud to say that I sure have done that.
00:42:42What I liked about A.J. is her spunk.
00:42:47I love this business.
00:42:48It's about time we redefine what you're used to.
00:42:51I am a woman who knows how to get exactly what she wants.
00:43:02The Black Widow is in.
00:43:05We are the new champion.
00:43:07A.J. Lee has reached her goal of becoming diva's champion.
00:43:13I have gone from being a girl in New Jersey to being the best in the world.
00:43:20A.J. Lee is here.
00:43:35A.J. Lee, after a decade, is back.
00:43:40It's only time to get a chance.
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 short run.
00:43:54Give it to me straight into my veins.
00:43:56I was ringside at SmackDown when A.J. returned.
00:43:59Blew the roof off of Allstate Arena.
00:44:01Let's run it back tonight.
00:44:03A.J. Lee on Raw for the first time in over 10 years.
00:44:06That is coming up in just moments.
00:44:14Amazing how quickly things can change when someone opens their mouth.
00:44:19Judgment Day was barking at Adam Pearce, the general manager,
00:44:23interrupting an appointment he had with Lyra Valkyrie a week ago.
00:44:26Lyra says, I want in.
00:44:28And now she's got in with the powerful Raquel Rodriguez opposite her.
00:44:33Well, Lyra certainly has an opportunity.
00:44:35But with that said, Raquel believes she deserves more opportunities,
00:44:38bigger opportunities, higher profile opportunities here in WWE.
00:44:42And a win over Lyra could go a long way toward that.
00:44:45To your point, in a division that's ultra deep,
00:44:48everybody has to jockey for position.
00:44:50No doubt about it.
00:44:51And as we were talking about a few minutes ago,
00:44:53we've seen the return recently of Nikki Bella.
00:44:55Yes.
00:44:55Who first-hand admitted how different, how much better.
00:44:58The entire roster is top to bottom.
00:45:00And the game has truly changed.
00:45:02And it continues to change through the hard work of Raquel Rodriguez and Lyra Valkyrie.
00:45:07And speaking of Nikki Bella, Joe, general manager Adam Pearce did it again.
00:45:11Nikki Bella will go one-on-one with the empress of tomorrow, Asuka, later tonight.
00:45:17So we get Nikki Bella and Asuka.
00:45:20And he just announced prior to that,
00:45:21we have LA Knight and Big Bronson Reed made for our main event.
00:45:25Interesting strategy, and I want to ask you, obviously, the size differential we saw moments ago.
00:45:30Lyra trying to chop down Raquel a little bit.
00:45:33When it comes to technical abilities, Lyra Valkyrie may have a pretty significant advantage.
00:45:37Lyra is a technical wizard.
00:45:39She knows how to grapple.
00:45:40She's very well-versed in submissions.
00:45:42Also, Lyra's not afraid to fly when necessary.
00:45:44Raquel, nothing fancy.
00:45:46Pure power.
00:45:47And you're seeing an example of that right now.
00:45:52Now looking for a bit of a guillotine here by Valkyrie.
00:45:55Smart strategy.
00:45:56When you're dealing with somebody as big as Raquel Rodriguez, as powerful as she is,
00:46:00sometimes you've got to cut the oxygen off to get the upper hand.
00:46:03Oh, look at how she's able to turn it around into a vertical.
00:46:06But Lyra, out the back side, and comes trying to test that size and that power.
00:46:13And she's finding out as he's shoulder tackles.
00:46:15Coming up short.
00:46:16Cross body was caught, Corey.
00:46:18That's a test.
00:46:19Lyra's not going to pass tonight.
00:46:20Not when you're dealing with Rodriguez.
00:46:23La Ruda.
00:46:23Look at the agility.
00:46:24Oh, good arm track.
00:46:26There you go, Lyra.
00:46:27And the kip up.
00:46:28Right to the enziguri.
00:46:29And now rolling out to the outside is Raquel.
00:46:33And this crowd is gathering support for Lyra Valkyrie.
00:46:43Oh, the drop kick.
00:46:45As Raquel finds herself out on the floor.
00:46:49Now you see in the background, Roxanne Perez, the prodigy of the Judgment Day.
00:46:53Lyra would be well advised to keep an eye out for Ms. Perez.
00:46:58And that's exactly what you can see her do, even as she continues on her offensive assault.
00:47:03One eye, always looking over at Roxanne Perez.
00:47:07Up to the top rope.
00:47:09Catches the cross body.
00:47:10Attempt again.
00:47:12Oof.
00:47:12Vicious knees to the kidney.
00:47:15Again and again.
00:47:16Driving the knees before the fallaway slam.
00:47:21Rodriguez now with an opportunity to turn the tides even further in her favor in this matchup.
00:47:27Look at this.
00:47:27Oh, would you look at this?
00:47:29Raquel's a head.
00:47:30Oh, my.
00:47:33Look at this.
00:47:33Pulling on the hair and the leg.
00:47:36How is the body.
00:47:37The spine shouldn't bend that way, Corey.
00:47:39Oh, you're absolutely right.
00:47:40It just goes to show you.
00:47:41It just goes to illustrate how powerful, how dangerous, how lethal Raquel Rodriguez has become.
00:47:48And look at this.
00:47:49I was looking for the baby.
00:47:50Oh, twisting, corkscrewing the splash.
00:47:53And then stepping right on her back again.
00:47:56Oh, the damage that the spine is taking here.
00:47:59Disrespect hooks the far leg.
00:48:01Able to survive it somehow.
00:48:04But you can see Lyra reaching for her back.
00:48:08Corey, I think this match now is completely altered with the damage that has been done to the lower back of Lyra Valkyria.
00:48:23I have no choice but to agree with you.
00:48:25And Raquel now focusing on the lower back.
00:48:28Continuing to pour on the punishment.
00:48:30She's identified a weakness in Lyra Valkyria.
00:48:33And Rodriguez continues to exploit it.
00:48:35Boom!
00:48:35Oh, she's just bullying now.
00:48:37She has put a target on the middle of the lower back of Lyra Valkyria every which way.
00:48:45Listen, you've been in there.
00:48:47How can you possibly describe to a layman the pain of being bent around the post from your head and your foot?
00:48:54I don't know that I've ever physically been contorted as badly as Lyra Valkyria was moments ago.
00:48:58But I can tell you this.
00:49:00When your lower back is not cooperating.
00:49:01When you don't have your back, it affects literally every aspect of the match.
00:49:06You can't plant your feet and throw hands.
00:49:08Every time you land on your back, you're reminded.
00:49:10You feel that electricity through your body.
00:49:13And it's absolutely miserable.
00:49:16Yeah, not just the pain that you have to endure.
00:49:19But the limitations then for what you would choose to do offensively.
00:49:24Dropping the elbow is Raquel.
00:49:26And so many superstars deliver their offense on instant.
00:49:30You find yourself in a familiar position.
00:49:32You know what move you like to fire off.
00:49:34You know what move in your arsenal fits best for the situation.
00:49:37Sometimes when you're dealing with a back injury or anything, dealing with your core, even your ribs.
00:49:42It really forces you to change your strategy and may take away some of your best offense.
00:49:50But again, the confidence of Raquel Rodriguez has grown recently.
00:49:54And I think that may be the biggest factor in her career.
00:49:56The upward trajectory of her career.
00:49:59Suplex into the lateral press.
00:50:03Valkyria stays alive.
00:50:09And notice how cool, calm, and collected Rodriguez is at this juncture, Joe.
00:50:15This is something that we wouldn't have seen out of Raquel.
00:50:16Raquel 6, 8, 12 months ago.
00:50:19She wanted to end things as quickly as possible.
00:50:21Almost tried to rush through her offense.
00:50:23Now Raquel understands.
00:50:25It's okay to savor the suffering of your opponent.
00:50:281, 2, 3, go!
00:50:30And she is savoring that suffering for sure.
00:50:35And look at that smile on her face as she just gives out more and more pain.
00:50:41And dishing it out against Lyra Valkyria.
00:50:44Jason, 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?
00:51:11Lyra Valkyria is in a world of hurt against Raquel Rodriguez as Rodriguez has been targeting that back.
00:51:20Just stretched her out over her shoulder.
00:51:22Canadian backbreaker.
00:51:23Oh, here's a counter and a roll-up by Lyra.
00:51:26But for many, many, many...
00:51:27Whoa, whoa, look at this!
00:51:29That's almost like a modification on the Boston Crab.
00:51:31It's a crab with a reversed offensive position by the attacker.
00:51:36And more and more pain to that lower back.
00:51:38Remember, it was minutes ago as now the front face lock by Lyra's.
00:51:42Minutes ago, she was stretched out, bent around the post, her 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.
00:51:53A great counter by Valkyria to force Raquel to break the hold.
00:51:58But things are starting to look bleak for Valkyria.
00:52:01It has been a sustained attack with a majority of the work targeting the lower back of Lyra Valkyria.
00:52:10And credit to Lyra, who's still fighting with everything she's got in her being.
00:52:15But you can tell, the back is a factor.
00:52:17Lyra unable to adjust mid-air 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.
00:52:29And 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.
00:52:46But Raquel certainly seems discombobulated.
00:52:48After this offense from Lyra, kind of a bit of a modification on the jawbreaker from Valkyria.
00:52:55Like a wheelbarrow there.
00:52:56And now she goes up top.
00:53:01Getting on that second rope.
00:53:04Lyra looking for any left.
00:53:06Oh, the jumping DDT!
00:53:08There it is!
00:53:08But she'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.
00:53:23And 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 right here on Raw.
00:53:55Take another look at this superhuman power from Rodriguez.
00:53:59It was something of a jackhammer type maneuver.
00:54:04Whatever you want to name it, it was incredibly effective.
00:54:07It may have driven the last little bit of will out of Lyra Valkyria.
00:54:13Muscled up once again.
00:54:15And once again in that compromised position with the back arched over the shoulder and runs her right into the corner.
00:54:21As if it's not bad enough to have all the lower back damage, she drives her front-facing into the corner.
00:54:30Sternum first into the top turnbuckle.
00:54:32And now Rodriguez with the worst of intentions for her opponent.
00:54:38If Raquel hits this, it's going to be good night, Lyra.
00:54:41Oh, to put a superplex on the back end of all the damage that Raquel's already put forth on Lyra?
00:54:47I agree.
00:54:48Lyra.
00:54:48Oh, Lyra's climbing.
00:54:49Oh, could we have a sunset?
00:54:50Could we have a sunset powerbomb?
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,
00:55:20much stronger, much stronger, Rodriguez.
00:55:22High angle powerbomb.
00:55:23But this one continues.
00:55:25Man, the inaugural intercontinental champion, Lyra Valperia.
00:55:30She is finding a way and now possibly looking for her signature Nightwing.
00:55:35But remember the back.
00:55:36Remember the back, Corey, as Roxanne gets up on the apron and the ropes to distract her.
00:55:41Big mistake, Lyra.
00:55:43Big mistake.
00:55:45Rodriguez wisely goes back to the lower back of Lyra.
00:55:49Oh, the dropkick takes care of Roxanne.
00:55:52But meanwhile, 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.
00:56:13Pin in combination.
00:56:13Look at this pin in combination.
00:56:14As she bridged it reverse style.
00:56:18And yet Raquel Rodriguez still got that shoulder up.
00:56:23I don't think it can be overstated just how naturally powerful Rodriguez is.
00:56:29That Enzigiri rocked the Judgment Day member.
00:56:32And 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 can't do the footing.
00:56:52Oh, no.
00:56:53Tejana bomb.
00:56:55Will that do it?
00:56:56One, two, three.
00:56:57Here is your winner, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:57:08Credit where it's due.
00:57:10Lyra Valkyria fought valiantly with every fiber of her being.
00:57:16Including this massive running Enzigiri that certainly rocked Raquel.
00:57:21Unfortunately, Lyra's own body betrayed her.
00:57:24The back playing a factor yet again.
00:57:26Unable to get her footing.
00:57:28Which allowed Rodriguez to deliver a thunderous Tejana bomb.
00:57:34And pick up a big time W.
00:57:36Much to the delight of the, much to the delight of the prodigy Roxanne Perez.
00:57:44What a win for Raquel and the entire Judgment Day.
00:57:49And the bad luck continues for Valkyria.
00:57:52Let's go!
00:57:54Let's go!
00:57:54Let's go!
00:57:55Let's go!
00:57:55Let's go!
00:57:56Let's go!
00:57:57Let's go!
00:57:58Let's go!
00:57:59Don't mention it.
00:58:00You got your back, buddy.
00:58:01We've been back for a long time.
00:58:02Anytime you need us, let us know where he's got your back, right?
00:58:05Thank you, guys.
00:58:06I know that I'm always going to talk to you and you're with me, okay?
00:58:10Hey, man.
00:58:10I understand you're looking for me.
00:58:12Yes, come with me.
00:58:13Okay.
00:58:15When Penta comes to WWE, everybody loves Penta.
00:58:18Of course.
00:58:18Why?
00:58:19You don't love Penta.
00:58:20Why 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, everybody is, you know that.
00:58:27But I'm not impressed with you.
00:58:29And you know something?
00:58:30What?
00:58:31You're Intercontinental Champion.
00:58:33You're a bitch!
00:58:34Please give me a title shot because I will be champion.
00:58:42We.
00:58:43Cero.
00:58:44Mierda.
00:58:45Pierce!
00:58:46Oh God.
00:58:47Yes.
00:58:48You don't follow the plan.
00:58:50What plan?
00:58:51The plan, the will, the execution.
00:58:53Rusev returns.
00:58:54Rusev crushes Sheamus.
00:58:56Rusev becomes champion.
00:58:58I'm gonna hell the plan.
00:58:59You are wasting your time with some demons and clowns.
00:59:02Hey, Rusev.
00:59:05Calmate.
00:59:07No te creas mucho.
00:59:09No me importa que hayas regresado.
00:59:11Y si quieres a alguien,
00:59:15aquí estoy yo.
00:59:16Okay, guys.
00:59:17Listen, listen.
00:59:18Hold on.
00:59:19Can we just back up a second?
00:59:20Get in a fight back here.
00:59:21Gets everybody a fight.
00:59:22But if we have something to prove,
00:59:24I say we do it in the ring.
00:59:25Think about it.
00:59:26This is a hell of an idea.
00:59:27First time ever.
00:59:28Penta?
00:59:29Versus Rusev.
00:59:30Let's go.
00:59:31Tonight in Milwaukee.
00:59:32Let's go!
00:59:36Tonight in my future to your house.
00:59:38No importa.
00:59:39Oh, 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.
00:59:51AJ Lee is back on Raw.
00:59:54And 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?
01:00:01Whatever you're watching around the world, we are live in Milwaukee.
01:00:06And what a night it has been.
01:00:07Great to see you.
01:00:08Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and observe a moment.
01:00:11For your boys, the new day.
01:00:12Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and observe a moment of silence for your boys.
01:00:13The New Day.
01:00:14Wherever you are watching around the world, we are live in Milwaukee, and what a night
01:00:31it has been.
01:00:32Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and observe a moment of silence for your boys
01:00:38the new day.
01:00:44Well, 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, and mourning.
01:00:53This is mourning Kingston.
01:00:58This is mourning Waller.
01:01:06And this is mourning Woods.
01:01:09And you better sign that right now, Vic.
01:01:12Sign it right now.
01:01:13That is a petition to ban Pence's Mexican Destroyer.
01:01:18Yes.
01:01:19And after we force Vic to sign it, we're going to force every single person here to sign
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.
01:01:31Because we know the people of Milwaukee and in Wisconsin in general have a very difficult
01:01:36time with your reading and your writing.
01:01:38My neck was damaged by Pence's Mexican Destroyer.
01:01:46It's the most dangerous move in all of WWE.
01:01:49It has shattered many a vertebrae.
01:01:51It has slipped many a disc.
01:01:54It has slipped many a disc.
01:01:54It has slipped many a disc.
01:01:54Sign this petition.
01:01:55And 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 though we
01:02:16know the people of Milwaukee look as if their teeth do not touch when they chew their food, you
01:02:23should still be smart enough to understand that my health should be this company's number
01:02:28one priority.
01:02:34You see, Xavier Woods is a martyr.
01:02:40He has endured this suffering so that y'all don't have to.
01:02:44And y'all should be thankful for him.
01:02:46You should thank God for him.
01:02:47So you should take your terrible jaws, get down on your knees, raise your hands to the sky,
01:02:58and scream out in unison, thank God for the new day!
01:03:07Hey, WrestleMania is headed back to Vegas, and you can experience a nonstop excitement at

01:03:54of AJ Lee will be with us.

01:04:10So if you need me, I'm there for you.

01:04:23I...
01:04:23Never mind.
01:04:24Boos, I'll get with y'all.
01:04:26He's got the better looking one you are.
01:04:27You know that, right?
01:04:27Hey, yo, yo, yo.
01:04:31Where you going?
01:04:32You out, man.
01:04:33Out?
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:34Bro, we got a play to run.
01:04:35What play?
01:04:36What you mean, Oos?
01:04:38LA versus Bronson Reed tonight, and they need our help.
01:04:41Oos, I don't give a damn about no LA night versus no Bronson Reed.
01:04:44That ain't our problem no more.
01:04:46Bro, the vision is our problem.
01:04:48You heard me?
01:04:49You saw what happened out there, Oos.
01:04:54Man tried to get me.
01:04:57I was supposed to let that slide.
01:04:59Make sure he good.
01:05:02What about me?
01:05:03What about us?
01:05:06Helping LA night ain't gonna get us no Wrestle Palooza.
01:05:09Damn sure ain't gonna help me get my World Heavyweight Championship back, Oos.
01:05:13You understand me?
01:05:14Look, you here now.
01:05:15Here's what we gonna do.
01:05:16We gonna make sure they all acknowledge us, or we gonna smash all of them.
01:05:22Okay?
01:05:24Alright?
01:05:26Man, you're not sounding like yourself, Oos.
01:05:30You kind of sound like Roman.
01:05:36Maybe sounding like myself ain't working.
01:05:46The money in this ride on you.
01:05:54Keep the double back up inside my cool.
01:05:57Hold a couple racks, tell them I love you.
01:06:00You wanna be involved, you look like I do.
01:06:04Get that money on my flex.
01:06:07I get that money on my flex.
01:06:09No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:10Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
01:06:35AJ Lee!
01:06:44She is back and she is beloved. And that is Becky Lynch's Intercontinental
01:06:50title championship around her waist, Corey.
01:06:54What's that old saying, Joe? Possession is nine-tenths of the wall.
01:06:57Right now, AJ Lee is wearing the Intercontinental Championship
01:07:01and it doesn't sound like anyone in Milwaukee objects.
01:07:05That roar. AJ wrote on social media today,
01:07:08you've had my back for a decade. This run is for you, my wonderful weirdos.
01:07:12Kept your weightings, huh? Sorry.
01:07:19Kept your weightings, huh? Sorry.
01:07:37We'll go back! We'll go back! We'll go back!
01:07:56So for those of you who weren't here ten years ago,
01:08:09and were really confused as to why your millennial parents were very excited on Friday,
01:08:17allow me to introduce myself. My name is AJ Lee.
01:08:26And I am your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
01:08:40And ten years ago, I retired.
01:09:05I said I was sorry, oh my God.
01:09:12I felt like I had accomplished all of my dreams in wrestling.
01:09:20And I was content and I hung up my Chuck Taylors and I thought that was the end of my story.
01:09:28There was no way I was going to step back in a ring again wearing jean shorts that are two sizes too small.
01:09:37I was so sure.
01:09:43And so I went on a journey to accomplish all these other crazy dreams I had in life and I did it.
01:09:54But most importantly, I went on a mental health journey.
01:09:59I wasn't healthy.
01:10:12I needed to take care of myself.
01:10:14I needed to take care of myself.
01:10:15Get right.
01:10:17I went to...
01:10:27I went to therapy.
01:10:28I got treatment.
01:10:30Therapy!
01:10:32Yeah!
01:10:33Here for therapy!
01:10:34Therapy!
01:10:35Therapy!
01:10:36Therapy!
01:10:37Therapy!
01:10:38Therapy!
01:10:39Therapy!
01:10:40Therapy!
01:10:41Therapy!
01:10:42Therapy!
01:10:43Therapy!
01:10:44Therapy!
01:10:45Therapy!
01:10:46Therapy!
01:10:47Therapy!
01:10:48Therapy!
01:10:49Fantastic.
01:10:50And I found a way to turn all of this mental chaos into my superpower.
01:10:57And man, the fight is not easy.
01:11:04Every 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.
01:11:12And I was doing really good for a long time.
01:11:26And then I watched Monday Night Raw.
01:11:30And look, healing isn't linear.
01:11:36Because 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.
01:12:02I thought that we had so much in common.
01:12:11I mean, she's a leader.
01:12:13She's a rebel.
01:12:14She's a New York Times bestselling author.
01:12:17I did it first, yes.
01:12:30I am everybody's favorite reference, I know.
01:12:36Back on track, back on track.
01:12:43There's a world in which me and Becky could have been friends.
01:12:48But then she had to go and motorboat my husband.
01:12:54She put her hands on him.
01:12:56She berated him.
01:12:58She defamed him.
01:12:59She-
01:13:00Come on!
01:13:02Heem, come on to the world!
01:13:04She's a leader, he's a leader.
01:13:07And now she's he.
01:13:16How long were you fallait's weakness affected by me and too low?
01:13:21He was threatening for us and I'm broken in large.
01:13:26This has nothing to do with your stank-ass husband.
01:13:51Hello? Is everybody insane? Has nobody noticed? Are you all stupid? Of course you are. You live in Milwaukee.
01:14:13She is wearing my title. That is my title. That is the title that I have made the most important title in the division.
01:14:28And you and me, we are nothing alike, okay? We are nothing alike because I, I, I...
01:14:35Shut up! Shut your face! I am the greatest female wrestler of all time!
01:14:44And it's not... You can do me all you like. It's not just me saying it. Other people say it. Sports Illustrated says it.
01:14:56You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck!
01:15:03You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You suck! You
01:15:33Oh, my God.
01:15:41It works, I swear.
01:15:43It's wonderful.
01:15:44I have some names I can give you.
01:15:47This is so embarrassing.
01:15:49I completely forgot I was wearing this.
01:15:53Oh, my God.
01:15:54For real, I've just been, like, skipping around the house all weekend in it.
01:15:59I slept in it last night.
01:16:01Yeah.
01:16:02Things kind of got weird this morning when I was getting dressed.
01:16:05Cut the crap, okay?
01:16:08Do not put your grubby hands on my title.
01:16:15Becky, you're sporting quite the shiner there.
01:16:24My God, did I, was that me?
01:16:27Was that one of my tiny fists of fury?
01:16:29My God, I'm sorry.
01:16:30Sometimes I go feral and I black out.
01:16:34I'm so sorry.
01:16:34I didn't realize I did that.
01:16:38But, I mean, you're tough.
01:16:41Since you are the greatest of all time,
01:16:45why don't you
01:16:52come and get it?
01:16:55Come and get it.
01:16:59I am not a chicken.
01:17:20I am not a chicken.
01:17:29Okay, okay, okay, you listen to me, you Jersey trash bag weirdo, okay?
01:17:43You keep your hands off my title.
01:17:46I already had to bathe in bleach after touching your greasy husband, okay?
01:17:52Which, by the way, where is he, huh?
01:17:57Yeah, exactly, where is he?
01:18:14What kind of man hides behind his wife because this had nothing to do with you before he
01:18:21got you involved.
01:18:22This had everything to do with me and my husband and our family and our business and our vision,
01:18:30okay?
01:18:31You did not need to stick your neck in where it doesn't belong.
01:18:35In fact, actually, actually, why don't we, why don't we bring him out here?
01:18:38Why don't I show you what a proper man, what a proper champion looks like, huh?
01:18:43Huh?
01:18:44Why don't we get my hot husband out here?
01:18:46Huh?
01:18:47Hit his music.
01:18:50Hit the mic
01:18:58Oh!
01:18:59Oh!
01:19:03Oh!
01:19:08Oh!
01:19:11Oh!
01:19:12Oh!
01:19:13Oh!
01:19:14Let me handle it!
01:19:24Heyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
01:19:29HEY2, QUIET DOWN!
01:19:42Quiet down!
01:19:51Pump the brakes.
01:19:53Look, this is very simple.
01:19:56We can make this super easy.
01:19:57AJ, just give Becky her Intercontinental Championship back,
01:20:06and we can all leave this dump of a city
01:20:11as soon as possible.
01:20:14Very simple, easy breezy.
01:20:18You want me to give the title back?
01:20:20Just give it back.
01:20:22No, that's a really good idea.
01:20:24I didn't even think of that, to just give you the title.
01:20:26See how easy that is?
01:20:29Great idea.
01:20:30All right, hand it over.
01:20:31But I do, just real quick, we could do that.
01:20:33We could do that right now.
01:20:35But I have a better idea.
01:20:36Two options here, okay?
01:20:42One, Becky, you can come into this ring right now and take your title back,
01:20:48but you will risk me giving you another black eye on the other one.
01:20:52Or, or, I will give you this title.
01:21:05If you agree to a tag match.
01:21:08A.J. Lee and CM Punk versus Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
01:21:23Pick your poison.
01:21:26Hold this, hold this, hold these.
01:21:29AJ, look, I know you've been gone 10 years.
01:21:42You don't understand how things work.
01:21:44Let me explain it to you.
01:21:45I am the world heavyweight champion.
01:21:51This 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.
01:22:14I'm going to take that title, give it back to my incredible wife,
01:22:19and that's going to be the end of it, understand?
01:22:22Thanks for mansplaining that.
01:22:24Everybody loves that.
01:22:25Very easy, very simple.
01:22:27All right.
01:22:56All right.
01:22:56You listen, and you listen real good.
01:23:05That does not belong to you.
01:23:09That is my title.
01:23:13This is me, my wife, saying you don't get to hold it, Hopkins.
01:23:18You don't get to call the shots.
01:23:20I run the show.
01:23:21You understand me?
01:23:22Very easy, very simple.
01:23:24Just got very complicated for Seth Rollins.
01:23:28The world heavyweight champion just narrowly escaped the GTS.
01:23:32Hey, they've done it.
01:23:39Hey, this doesn't work.
01:23:53Hey.
01:23:54You want a match?
01:23:56You've got a match.
01:23:59All for acceptance.
01:24:00And Russell Beluja, you're both done for.
01:24:04What?
01:24:05We've got to get him back.
01:24:07We've got to put him into this.
01:24:09We've got to put him into this.
01:24:11No.
01:24:12What a great thing about time.
01:24:15Oh, there goes the IC championship.
01:24:22Mixed tag team.
01:24:24Seth and Becky.
01:24:26Punk and AJ Lee.
01:24:27Look out, Wrestle Beluja, 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.
