00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00One week from today, all-star clashes are on the horizon at Crown Jewel Perth.
01:12Welcome to Main Event.
01:13The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:31Introducing Perth, accompanied by Nathan Frazier, from Madrid's big, weighing in at 175 pounds, Axiom!
01:42Getting the action started here with the masked man from Madrid.
01:47You always know you're in for a treat inside the ring with Axiom.
01:52As we welcome in here, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
01:55Vic, no mercy, turn NXT upside down.
01:58It certainly did, and we're probably going to see one of these two tonight go upside down.
02:02This is going to be a hard-hitting, high-flying affair.
02:06One, two, three, four!
02:13Let's go!
02:22One, two, three, four!
02:24And it is opponent, accompanied by Candice LeRae and Tommaso Ciampa, representing DIY, from Cleveland, Ohio, playing 199 pounds, Johnny Gargano!
02:44Well, here's a superstar ready to match the speed and prowess of Axiom.
02:50A tag-team rival, but also has a share of single success, and Vic, looks like it's a whole family affair tonight for DIY.
02:56Certainly is.
02:57Happy belated birthday to Candice LeRae, but look, everyone associated with this match-up.
03:02When you talk about NXT, we've seen them all compete.
03:05These two have gone toe-to-toe many a times.
03:07Let's not forget, seems like just yesterday, SummerSlam and that epic ladder match with all those teams for the WWE Tag Team title.
03:15So, as I mentioned before, I think this is going to be hard-hitting.
03:18I think it's going to be high-flying.
03:20I don't think we're going to be able to blink.
03:22Very well could still be feeling the effects of that massive ladder match back at SummerSlam.
03:26But, Vic, as we know recently, Fraxium ran into the force known as the Vision on Friday Night SmackDown.
03:31They certainly did.
03:32And, look, when it comes to Axiom and it comes to Nathan Frazier, both these guys are looking for that opportunity.
03:38There has to be something inside them that knows that every time they have a match, it's an opportunity.
03:44It doesn't matter who it's against.
03:45It doesn't matter where it is.
03:46It's an opportunity to show what you can do and how you can succeed.
03:51Had an opportunity to speak to Axiom.
03:52And he said this is an opportunity to have a dream one-on-one encounter and a real personal test for him against Johnny Gargano.
03:58And this goes deeper, too.
04:00Look at this.
04:00Talk about innovative offense.
04:01Nice job by Axiom, who certainly can systematically dissect an opponent.
04:05But when you take a look at these two teams, this is also about single success.
04:09I mean, as much as everyone wants to talk about the tag team ranks on SmackDown, both these men would love,
04:14would love to capture singles gold somewhere down the line.
04:18Of course, Johnny Gargano, a former NXT champion, three-time NXT North American champion,
04:22one of the few that could match the current champion, all-ego, Ethan Page.
04:26He certainly could.
04:27I mean, all these men could match Ethan Page when it comes to a one-on-one match.
04:31But now this is where the pace starts to quickly play.
04:34Has Axiom in control right now.
04:35Vic, we talked about those dream matches.
04:37Already this year, Axiom stepping into the ring with the Hardys, the Motor City Machine Guns.
04:41How difficult is it to stay focused against those legends?
04:44I think it's not so much about staying focused.
04:46I think it's about staying in the moment, so to speak.
04:48Because the moment can't get too big at times, especially when we're talking about teams like the Hardys, DIY, Motor City Machine Guns.
04:54That's the type of action that Axiom wants to do.
04:56He is focused.
04:57He's taking it to Johnny Gargano right now.
04:59Axiom keeping his foot on the gas right now.
05:01Comes flying through.
05:03Just a kid from Madrid right now.
05:04But oh, that numbers game, three on two essentially out here as Johnny Gargano goes back to the outside.
05:11Uh-oh.
05:11Axiom picking up some steam and cut right in half by Johnny Gargano.
05:15I think Gargano baited in Axiom for that slingshot spear that connected.
05:20But look at Johnny's chest, welting up from those chops from Axiom.
05:24As you now hear the WWE Universe.
05:29Of course, we talk about the decorated superstar there in Johnny Gargano.
05:33Vic, of course, that recent return to NXT for homecoming.
05:36How did that rejuvenate DIY?
05:37I think it rejuvenated them because they felt that atmosphere once again, right?
05:41They felt the homecoming, so to speak.
05:43And that little bit of momentum, I mean, momentum is a powerful force, right?
05:47That could carry them right through these next few months, could carry them right through this matchup.
05:51But we're here, we're now, it's not about homecoming.
05:53It's about these two going one-on-one.
05:56And, of course, after that, can't be too happy with Melo Don't Miss.
05:59You know, if you're Fraxium, are you a little bit angry you were invited to homecoming?
06:03Are you a little bit hot about that?
06:05I mean, let's talk about that right now, Fraxium Nathan Frazier.
06:07Maybe being overlooked, maybe there's a little extra on these chopsies, kicksies, punches.
06:11Two-time former NXT Tag Team Champions are Fraxium!
06:15And the dragon screw leg whip right there by Johnny Gargano.
06:18Look, everyone knows my relationship with Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.
06:21But I will say this, though, when it comes to tag team competition, Fraxium is in the running for being the greatest tag team to ever step foot in an NXT ring.
06:30356 days as champions covering those two reigns as Gargano has Axiom tied up right in the center of the ring here.
06:36And, Vic, of course, speaking of superstars appearing at NXT Homecoming, the eradicator Rhea Ripley up next on main event and certainly has a lot to say.
06:44It's going to be very interesting to see what she has to say.
06:47Very interesting to see what happens when they get to Perth for Crown Jewel.
06:52We talked about the singles prowess here between these two superstars.
06:56We know their tag team rivalry.
06:57Of course, earlier this summer, Johnny Gargano defeated Nathan Frazier on main event.
07:01You have to wonder, maybe that gives Johnny a little bit of a leg up right here.
07:04I don't necessarily know if it does or it doesn't, but, again, we come back to that word momentum.
07:08I think for Axiom right now, it's a whole different ballgame.
07:11Axiom is a different superstar than Nathan Frazier is.
07:13Axiom is someone who's going to take you to the mat, going to ground and pound you.
07:16He's not going to fly around like Frazier.
07:18Vic, how smart of Gargano is this really to slow down this piece?
07:21It's great.
07:22As we were getting to earlier, I thought this was going to be a high-flying, high-octane match.
07:26So, Johnny coming in here just shows you how high his IQ is when he steps into the ring.
07:30He does not want to let Axiom get going.
07:34He does not want to let him get to the top rope.
07:35We already saw Axiom fly one time, but now going to the lower body, trying to take away that vertical base.
07:40Johnny's game is clear.
07:41He wants to punish that lower body.
07:43Johnny Gargano, a 20-year veteran here, looking to take full advantage with that quickness of Axiom taking over.
07:48Look, Johnny was going right back to the knee.
07:51Couldn't capitalize on it.
07:53Now he's got caught.
07:54Picture perfect, right in the mouth right there by Axiom.
07:58Now trying to build a little steam right here.
07:59Of course, we know about the tag team prowess between these two teams in the very deep SmackDown tag team division.
08:05There's the difference between a tag team match, right?
08:07There's no one for Axiom to tag.
08:08He's got to do it himself right now, looking for a German counter, though, by Gargano.
08:12Going right there for that O'Connor roll, but Axiom right there.
08:15Hit that half and half.
08:17Bam!
08:18And lights him up with a big strike.
08:20Axiom, looking to take over.
08:21Shoulders are down.
08:22That was a soccer-style kick.
08:24Didn't get the goal as Gargano continuing to fight.
08:27Might have been good for the Browns right there for Gargano.
08:30A couple weeks ago, it would have been great.
08:32As right now, Axiom maybe looking to go to his home up top.
08:36But look at Candice on the outside, along with Tommaso.
08:38Nathan Frazier keeping his eye on Ciampa.
08:40But Gargano's got to keep his eyes on Axiom.
08:43Candice LeRae could be that wild card right there in Axiom.
08:45The knee, going back to the knee.
08:47Indeed, may have tweaked that knee.
08:48The knee coming down.
08:49Gargano, big strike.
08:51He's calling for it right here.
08:53Could be looking for one final beat.
08:54Inside cradle.
08:55Nice counter.
08:56But there's Ciampa up on the apron.
08:58Got caught with an E.
08:59As Axiom looking to take full effect.
09:01Could be looking for that golden ratio right here, Vic.
09:05But you see Tommaso pops up.
09:07Frazier looking to neutralize him.
09:09Referee right now, fully distracted.
09:11But there's Candice right back.
09:13We talk about her being a wild card.
09:15It's got Axiom's mask.
09:17And Axiom, we've seen that in the past.
09:19And that in his hands right here.
09:20Gargano with the roll-up.
09:22And he escapes the victory.
09:24Woo-hoo-hoo.
09:27There is your winner, Johnny Gargano!
09:34Unfortunately, knowing Johnny as well as I do,
09:36that might find its way to the trophy case in the Gargano household.
09:40Vic, we've seen superstars pick at Axiom's mask in the past.
09:44Haven't really seen him take it fully off of his face right here.
09:47We saw the numbers game take full advantage.
09:49Axiom lighting up Gargano with a big strike.
09:51We thought that might be enough.
09:52But just as Gargano's able to kick out, that numbers game really prevails.
09:56Certainly doesn't.
09:57Right here, obviously, was the turning point in the match.
09:59With the mask fully being ripped off of Axiom.
10:02Johnny Gargano realizing it.
10:04And you know what?
10:06Picking up the bones.
10:08Gargano steals one tonight.
10:10on main event.
10:11Graxium knocked off DIY earlier this year on Friday Night SmackDown.
10:15But right here, Johnny Gargano.
10:17A little bit of an assist from DIY.
10:19Gets a win here on main event.
10:23Johnny Gargano steals a win,
10:25thanks in part to Candice LeRae's interference in the match.
10:28And there's more drama coming your way on main event
10:30when the War Raiders face off against OTM in tag team action tonight.
10:34And speaking of drama, let's take a look at the shocking events that unfolded during the highly anticipated fight
10:40between Rhea Ripley and Asuka last week on Raw.
10:43Tonight, Asuka pushed too hard, too far, and there's no turning back.
10:53Rhea Ripley is ready.
10:54Two women at the very top of this industry.
10:59It has been pure empress of tomorrow from the word go in this woman.
11:07Oh, my, Rhea!
11:13Just when she needed it!
11:17Rhea catches it.
11:19Oh, the empress impact backfires!
11:21Roll up by Rhea!
11:23Rhea wins it!
11:24The boys are missed in the ice!
11:28Sometimes when you win, really, you lose.
11:33EO Sky!
11:47Oh!
11:48A spinning strike as Asuka turns on EO.
11:52Kairi is attacking EO Sky.
11:58This is horrible to see.
12:01The Kabuki Warriors taking whatever they want tonight.
12:08And rip the Band-Aid off.
12:12Asuka got her wish.
12:13The Kabuki Warriors sent a message that was heard loud and clear with last week's brutal attack.
12:27Coming up, Rhea Ripley responds.
12:29The Eradicator is demanding answers and payback when she calls out Asuka and Kairi Sane.
12:35That is next on Main Event.
12:40This October, John Cena lands in Perth for a full-scale WWE TakeOver.
12:48It all starts with SmackDown, ends with Raw.
12:52And in the center of it all, Cena takes the spotlight for one of WWE's most massive nights.
12:59WWE Crown Jewel in Perth.
13:01All at RAC Arena.
13:03WWE TakeOver Perth.
13:05This October.
13:06Combo tickets on sale now.
13:11Welcome back to WWE Main Event.
13:15We are in beautiful Raleigh, North Carolina this week.
13:17Affectionately known as the City of Oaks for its abundance of oak trees.
13:21And with the start of the hockey season just days away,
13:23we are taking over the Lenovo Center, home of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes.
13:28Inside the arena, you could cut the tension with a knife.
13:31As Rhea Ripley called out the Kabuki Warriors after last week's brutal assault
13:35that left The Eradicator temporarily blinded by Asuka's green mist.
13:40I always knew that it would come to this.
13:44But there was a little part of me that hoped that we could settle things in the ring.
13:50Settle our problems here in the ring like the Warriors that I thought you were.
13:57But, but no.
13:59But no, because then what you did to Io, that, that crossed the line.
14:10I mean, aren't you the ones that claim that she is your family?
14:17Family.
14:18So look, this is what we're gonna do here tonight, huh?
14:23We're gonna settle things in this ring.
14:27So Kabuki Warriors, come and get me!
14:38Come on!
14:40Come on!
14:44Well, the respect between Io Sky and Rhea is well earned this year as the fiercest of competitors
15:01battling for the Women's World Championship, but now Wade, of course, a different kind of shared experience.
15:07Well, this is not what Rhea Ripley asked for, but this might well be what Rhea Ripley needs.
15:12Because had the Kabuki Warriors come out here in a two-on-one situation,
15:18Mami might have ended up even worse than she did last week.
15:21and Io Sky clearly torn up about the fact that she was beaten down by her mentor, Asuka,
15:28and good friend Kairi Sane, in the aftermath of last week's main event.
15:32See it on Io's face.
15:33Weird, it breaks my heart to say this, but you are right about Asuka and Kairi.
15:59But they are my family, but they are my family, but they are my family, and I still love them.
16:21What?
16:28Io-chan! It's up to you what happens next.
16:33I taught you everything you know.
16:35Washi wa omae wo mytibita atta jaro.
16:39Omae no ta me ni mi chui kirichiro itta atta jaro.
16:42Sore anoni, washi ga ste agita koto subete na katta koto mitai ni hro matte na oi.
16:50CoÅ› z 29...
16:52LIHEWY ZOJĘMIEJSZ UMAIJĘA
16:55Właśwa omae okażoku ni sta'tan yra?
16:58I made you who you are!
17:00Omae wa właśno okage de champion ni na ta si
17:03Właśno moto de tata kakau koto ho kori ni omae ya boki!
17:10But, because I love you, I'm willing to forgive you
17:16Just apologize to me like you should
17:20Tada, aya mareba urushita uwa
17:25Be like Kairi, you can both still be my students
17:32Ielsa, we can be a family again
17:39But, for Ria, it's too late
17:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Asuka, Asuka, you can go to hell
17:56Look, Io, you have to trust me, please, please, you have to trust me.
18:12Look, I've been burned by my family before.
18:16Look, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but there's no way that you can go back to them, not after what they've done
18:23I'm sorry, Ria, I need the time, I need the time
18:30See how conflicted and what a struggle it is for Io
18:47It's a lot easier to tell someone to walk away from their family
18:55Oh no, it's too late, it's right now
18:58The Kabuki Warriors attacking Ria Wade
19:02Right before Io Sky, who once again is torn and the beatdown commences
19:08What a sinister victory lap
19:10Kairi and Asuka attack, and here comes Io
19:14Here comes Io
19:16Able to throw Asuka off
19:20As Ria's beaten down in the corner, and Kairi
19:25Ria, Ria, Ria
19:27We need to not to go any further
19:29Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria, Ria.
19:37Io holds off
19:40As struggle continues
19:41She missed at her
19:43Points of mist in the eyes of Io Sky
19:45Asuka sprays the mist right into the eyes
19:49I now here's Rhea, back up and on the attack.
19:56Big right hand from Kyrie, Rhea comes right back, big headbutt.
20:03And now gone for riptide.
20:06Kick to the back of the neck, they just about connected with Ripley.
20:11Posted into the corner.
20:14Simply a two on one situation, what chance did Ripley have here?
20:20And the other corner, meanwhile, Io is down and sprayed with the mist in the eyes.
20:27She cannot help at all.
20:29A spinning backhand, and another.
20:33No good deed, goes unpunished in WWE and Ripley who came here to save the day.
20:39Rhea Skye now being punished.
20:41She's put her in that lock and up top, Kyrie Sane.
20:46And Sane elbow drops down on Rhea from up high.
20:51After getting sprayed by Asuka's mist, a visibly irritated Io Skye was approached by Kyrie Sane,
20:58who tried to smooth things over with her friend.
21:00Here's a towel.
21:03Can you see at all?
21:05Can you see at all?
21:06Yeah.
21:09Kyrie, get away from me!
21:11I just wanna talk.
21:13Io, we can still be a family.
21:20It's not too late.
21:23Just follow me and apologize, Asuka.
21:29She will forgive you.
21:32Apologize?
21:34Get away from me, Kyrie!
21:36Leave me alone!
21:38Leave me alone!
21:40Leave me alone!
21:44Ioskye has finally had enough of the Kabuki Warriors.
21:55Instead of making things better, Kyrie Sane managed to make the situation even worse.
22:00Are you okay?
22:04No.
22:09You are right about Asuka.
22:11Hey, I talked to Pierce.
22:14Mm-hm.
22:15At Crown Jewel, me and you, we are taking on the Kabuki Warriors.
22:23Hang on a second.
22:25Look, I want Asuka's head more than anyone, but are you sure that you're up for this?
22:29I mean, I didn't wanna bring it up, but I did see you talking to Kyrie earlier,
22:34and I just wanna know if I can trust you.
22:39I mean, if we go through with this, you will be stepping into the ring with people that you thought were your family.
22:46You can trust me.
22:48Kyrie is lost.
22:50I cannot go back to them.
22:54Then I'm in.
22:56Let's do it.
22:58I'll get you some water.
23:05Emotions will be running high when Io Skye joins forces with Rhea Ripley against her former friends Asuka and Kyrie Sane in a highly personal tag team showdown at Crown Jewel.
23:19And that's not the only rivalry that will take center stage in Perth as the undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes prepares to go to war with his longtime adversary, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Freakin' Rollins.
23:32I wouldn't cross me if I was you.
23:39Better think twice about what you don't know.
23:42I wouldn't cross me if I was you.
23:45If I was you I wouldn't cross me.
23:48When I left WWE, I did so because I had to.
24:05It was a necessity.
24:07If I was going to become the person I wanted to be, the wrestler I wanted to be, the champion I had dreamed of being, I had to go out and do it on my own terms.
24:20And so I did.
24:22And all credit to you, Cody.
24:25You saw sickness eating you from within and you did what needed to be done to cut it out.
24:32And that is to be commended.
24:34But in your absence, WWE moved right along.
24:38And I was at the forefront.
24:41I was its architect, its messiah, its champion.
24:46A visionary, a revolutionary, I put this company on my back and carried it into a golden age.
24:55And what was my reward?
24:57For all of my sacrifice, I was literally begging to be given a match on WrestleMania.
25:05I can understand that resentment, Seth, that bitterness.
25:09I remember once feeling that way myself.
25:12But that night in Dallas for me, that night was a revelation.
25:19I got to come home and in front of 65,000 screaming fans step into the ring with a generational talent.
25:27I got to immediately put my hand to the flame and see if I could take the heat.
25:35If I could measure up with the best WWE and the world had to offer.
25:41I was baptized by that fire.
25:46And I walked away knowing I could now write my story.
25:53I'm happy I was able to provide you with inspiration with which to write your story, Cody.
26:00But the fact is, our story wasn't over.
26:03It wasn't over at WrestleMania when you had the element of surprise on your side.
26:08It wasn't over at Backlash either when you held my tights to steal a victory.
26:13No.
26:15Our story needed to go to hell.
26:17And back.
26:19Hell in a cell.
26:22It's the most painful night of my career.
26:28Looking back at it, probably not the wisest decision I've ever made.
26:34There are no words to describe what we did to each other, the limits that were pushed and the lines that were crossed.
26:45And yet somehow amidst all that, I somehow found...
26:51Respect.
26:52Respect for the singular competitor that you are.
26:56Someone who forces you to raise your game to levels you didn't know you had within you.
27:01Respect for your resilience in the face of immeasurable pain.
27:06Your refusal to just stay down.
27:11That will forever be a defining victory of my career.
27:16And you...
27:18will forever be a defining rival of mine.
27:25Which is why what happened next is so...
27:28tragic.
27:34Coming up, the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Freakin Rollins has a message for his crown jewel opponent Cody Rhodes.
27:40Find out what the architect of the vision has to say when Rollins comes face-to-face with the undisputed WWE Champion.
27:47Next!
27:55Like a dream.
28:01Oh, sorry!
28:03You walked into my life just like a dream.
28:09Feel your heart's the life's a dream.
28:11Till you hold the life's a dream.
28:12Till you hold the life's a dream.
28:14oooh
28:15Welcome back to Main Event.
28:16KONIEC
28:46KONIEC
29:16That is Randy Orton lit the ring taking out big Bryan Read with an RKO and
29:22evened the odds the following Monday on Raw,
29:25the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Freaken Rollins addressed his
29:28Crown Drill opponent, Cody Rhodes.
29:32Let me say this plainly every decision goes through me.
29:40I sent Ron and Bronson to SmackDown.
29:42Nie było tym razem z wierzymi, w którym w życiu nie mały,
29:47więc nie zostało w ten świat, żeby się nie mogła, znalazła się do tego, żeby mogła
29:52zacząć się z tytu.
29:55Wszystko siÄ™ przez nie.
29:57Wszystko się z tą, więc rozumiem, że wystarczył się, że zaśmienić
30:05Do you want to announce Brock Lesnar?
30:08Every decision runs through me.
30:35No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't! No, he doesn't!
30:55Everything runs through me, you understand that? I'm the reason you're here.
31:05Seth, I'm trying here.
31:13They're trying here.
31:14We're all meant here to have fun.
31:16Let's just strip this down to what it's supposed to be about.
31:24Crown Jewel Championship, Perth, Australia,
31:27the undisputed WWE Champion against the very best,
31:31against the World Heavyweight Champion, you, Seth Frickin' Rollins.
31:39It could be that simple.
31:43Again, I'm trying here.
31:45I like to think, 20 years from now, where are you and I gonna be?
31:52Are we gonna be sitting in those chairs back there,
31:56talking to the future of the industry, reminiscing on our old matches?
32:01Is that wishful thinking?
32:02Maybe.
32:03Here's an image I know is as real as real gets.
32:08It was you at WrestleMania 40, standing right there,
32:14extending your hand to me, your knees shot, a man of your word.
32:18You were the shield for me, the MVP of WrestleMania.
32:22And every bit of emotional guilt between you and I lifted, amended everything in our history.
32:28I thought that you were my friends.
32:31Shut up.
32:35Shut up.
32:36Shut up.
32:40I was never your friend.
32:45We were never friends.
32:50That was never friendship.
32:53That was a means to an end.
32:54You know what?
32:55At WrestleMania 40, you were just the lesser of two evils, man.
33:01So that little scenario about the future that you just painted,
33:10that's never gonna happen.
33:12We're never gonna be friends.
33:14I'm never gonna shake your hand.
33:16I'm never gonna raise your hand.
33:18I'm never gonna call you the better man.
33:19I'm never gonna call you my equal.
33:21Never.
33:22It's not gonna happen.
33:23But I'll tell you what I am gonna do.
33:30I'm gonna cleanse the timeline.
33:34At Crown Jewel, everything that happened before between us is dead.
33:40And after Crown Jewel, I write a new history.
33:45I write a new future.
33:48And there's only one person who will lead that vision.
33:57And that person is Seth freaking Rollins.
34:1812 days away, Crown Jewel, Saturday, October 11th, 8 a.m. Eastern.
34:25Seth saying, I'm gonna cleanse the timeline.
34:28Everything in this industry will run through me.
34:35After everything that's gone down between these two bitter rivals,
34:38the WWE Universe can expect nothing less than an all-out war
34:42when these bitter rivals collide at Crown Jewel.
34:45Cody Rhodes won last year's inaugural Crown Jewel Championship.
34:48And the American Nightmare is looking to make it two in a row
34:51when the undisputed WWE Champion battles the World Heavyweight Champion
34:55Seth freaking Rollins for the Men's Crown Jewel Championship
34:58on Saturday, October 11th in Perth, Western Australia.
35:04Coming up, the Monsters of Mayhem go head-to-head with the
35:07Ruthless Enforcers of the Street.
35:09Two teams built on power.
35:11Two teams that inflict absolute punishment on their opponents.
35:14And when they collide, something's got to give.
35:17It's the War Raiders versus OTM.
35:19And it's next on Main Event.
35:21This November, the Padres' home field gets a whole new lineup.
35:31When WWE...
35:32An absolutely incredible scene.
35:36It's Petco Park.
35:39A slugfest for the ages.
35:41Oh, my goodness!
35:46The epic performance that no one will ever forget.
35:50WWE Survivor Series San Diego.
35:53Tickets on sale now.
35:54WWE returns to Australia with Friday Night SmackDown, Crown Jewel, and Monday Night Raw at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia.
36:06Tickets are on sale now via TicketTech.com.au.
36:09Don't miss your chance to witness history when champions collide at Crown Jewel.
36:14This is us creating a moment in time.
36:21At Crown Jewel, we will make history.
36:24Men's and women's Crown Jewel champions will be decided.
36:29Our reigning WWE Champion will face our reigning World Champion.
36:3850 carats of diamonds that will signify the winner as the best of the best.
36:49It's Champion versus Champion.
36:52This is not a two-man show.
36:54I'm the Alpha.
36:55Who will be the one true best of the best?
36:58It's not about the first one.
37:00It's about who is going to be the next one.
37:03Who will achieve immortality?
37:05This championship represents history.
37:09Nobody can stop me.
37:11When it comes to me and you in the ring, it's gonna end with you on the ground and me as your Crown Jewel Champion.
37:20And the next stop on the Farewell Tour.
37:23The greatest of all time.
37:26The phenomenal one.
37:28One last time.
37:32Crown Jewel, fly from Perth, Australia.
37:36Yes, it is a huge championship and Stephanie, we just found out this past Friday that you'll officially be facing Tiffany Stratton for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship.
37:51I mean, this is a big test and it comes early in your reign.
37:55Where's your confidence at?
37:57Estoy feliz de ir Australia.
37:58La verdad que me encanta los grandes retos.
38:01La primera is ready for anyone.
38:04And I'm excited about facing Tiffany.
38:08I respect her.
38:09But she will learn why nobody can stop me.
38:15I will become Crown Jewel Champion.
38:19Stephanie.
38:20Look, I respect you.
38:24I do.
38:25But you need to understand something.
38:26For the past year, I've been proving myself to some of the best in this business and I have remained champion for 268 days.
38:34And I believe that you're going to be a great champion.
38:37But if you think that I'm going to let someone come in here who's been on top for two weeks and change my story, then you're wrong.
38:44We're both going to get on that flight to Australia.
38:47We're both flying across the globe.
38:49But one thing will remain the same, that it is and always will be Tiffy time.
38:54Tiffy, lo siento.
38:56Your time will be over.
39:00Then La Primera is going to have to get used to coming in second.
39:09Stephanie Becker has proven she is a force to be reckoned with after winning a battle royal at WWE Evolution to secure a women's title match.
39:16And then using that opportunity to capture the vacant women's world title against Io Sky at Wrestlepalooza.
39:22However, her opponent Tiffany Stretton is undefeated in title matchups in 2025, defeating Charlotte Flair.
39:29Nia Jax, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus and the 2025 Queen of the Ring, Jade Cargill.
39:36Tune in on Saturday, October 11th to find out who leaves Perth as the women's crown jewel champion.
39:42Two icons will collide when the 17 time world champion John Cena goes one on one with the phenomenal AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel.
39:51Their rivalry has helped define an era. Their matches have personified greatness.
39:56And now the final chapter will be written when these two future Hall of Famers collide one last time at WWE Crown Jewel.
40:06The main event is war.
40:13The following is a tag team match.
40:38Tune in for one call.
40:40Introducing person at a combined weight of 597 pounds, Eric and Ivar, the War Raiders.
40:53See you bopping your head over there.
40:55That's catchy.
40:56Certainly ready for Eric and Ivar as they continue to look for some momentum here.
41:00Anything to build their case to Raw GM Adam Pearce for a world tag team title opportunity.
41:05Certainly they have been building that case week by week.
41:09As Crown Jewel is presented by Riyadh Season, the ultimate entertainment festival with live shows, sports, food, fashion, and theme parks, October through March.
41:23Perfect for all ages.
41:31A little NXT flavor.
41:34This is a big opportunity for these two.
41:38Out the mud.
41:40Out the mud.
41:41It's a main event.
41:42And their opponents at a combined weight of 545 pounds.
41:51Lucian Bryce and Bronco Neymar, OTL.
41:58It's not just NXT, Blake.
42:00Prime Minister of Evolve, Stevie Turner has to be very happy seeing this duo that has made such an impact on Evolve.
42:07And you can really see these two soaking in the moment right here.
42:11Two bruisers from the left coast.
42:13They've had a relationship dating back to high school.
42:15Now looking to make their mark with a huge test in front of them.
42:18So this is a big test.
42:20I mean, you're taking a look at a duo that's won tag team championships all over the world.
42:25Imagine what would happen to the stock of OTM.
42:29I mean, it certainly would rise in the WWE.
42:33And Vic taking a look right here.
42:34Is this the heaviest match we've seen on main event?
42:36I mean, it's, I don't know, Otis, how does Otis weigh?
42:40Over 300 pounds.
42:41I don't know if there's enough meat here even for Booker T.
42:43I was wondering if Otis has been in a matchup where he was countering maybe someone like Ivar.
42:48Nonetheless, let's focus in on the matchup.
42:50Eric and Bronco Neymar getting things started right here.
42:52And of course, the War Raiders in recent weeks, Vic.
42:54Quite the rivalry with the New Day and Big Chief.
42:57Yeah, and I think it goes back to what we talked about at the top.
42:59Trying to navigate their way to a championship opportunity.
43:03But look, OTM's looking for, oh my word, OTM's looking for an opportunity too.
43:07And this isn't Evolve, this isn't NXT.
43:09This is a team that has dominated in Japan, all over America, in Mexico, in Europe, in Canada.
43:14See the spark there for Bronco Neymar running right into the War Raiders here.
43:18Ivar into the cover, hooks the outside leg, only getting one right there.
43:21Bronco might have been knocked back to two being Evolve.
43:24As Ivar looking to control the pace, Bronco Neymar gets the tag into Lucien.
43:28Price and Vic.
43:29To OTM's point, how do they stay hungry, motivated, and ready for these opportunities?
43:33I think they're always done.
43:34I mean, these two, you can just feel the rage boiling out of them.
43:37You talk about opportunities, yeah, they've had a few setbacks on NXT.
43:41Obviously, it's all been well documented, but they've seen what Jada Parker has done as well.
43:45And they want to have that same momentum, something we talked about in the first matchup.
43:49And they certainly can gain a lot of it if they can knock off Ivar and Eric.
43:55Because I gotta be honest, it would be a major upset, maybe the biggest upset in main event history.
44:00Certainly in quite some time, and certainly looking at OTM, they have received tag title opportunities at premium live events.
44:06Certainly would love to get back to that point.
44:08Just like Eric and Ivar would love to get a tag team title reign for the fourth time.
44:11You're victorious here.
44:12I don't think they're worried about NXT at that much.
44:14There's the tag.
44:15I think they're looking at Raw, I think they're looking at SmackDown.
44:17I think Adam Pearce is gonna see this team and the eyes are gonna get wide open.
44:22And Eric, right in the arms of Lucian Price.
44:24Holy crap.
44:25And the big Uranagi OTM rolling right now.
44:28Can the War Raiders get back into this one?
44:30There we go.
44:32Salt Lake City.
44:38Are you ready?
44:43Two nights of back to back action.
44:46Friday night SmackDown brings the hype.
44:49Then Saturday night's main event takes it over the top.
44:52Big energy, big moments.
44:55WWE, Salt Lake City, the stage is set.
44:59Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st.
45:01Tickets on sale now.
45:06As we're back here on main event, OTM in control right now.
45:09I mean, I'm shocked right now.
45:10Take it right to Eric.
45:11Blake, I'm absolutely shocked at what OTM has done in this matchup to two competitors like Eric and Ivar.
45:17And Vic, a couple of years ago, OTM got a tag team title opportunity at No Mercy.
45:22How about last weekend at No Mercy, Ricky Saint shocking the world.
45:25He certainly did shock the world and that is exactly what OTM is trying to do right here and right now on main event.
45:31Double teams working right here, another tag into Lucian Price.
45:33I mean, taking a look at the NXT roster.
45:35Is OTM the most intimidating tag team in NXT?
45:38Well, we haven't had a lot of chances to see OTM on NXT recently.
45:42I think if you take a look at the locker room, there's a lot of intimidating people that walk around there.
45:46And not even in the tag team division.
45:48Obafemi, he's intimidating.
45:49Indeed.
45:50You take a look at Trick Williams, he certainly could be intimidating.
45:53Jasper Troy can be intimidating.
45:55I mean, there's a lot of intimidating people.
45:57Would I put them up there?
45:58Absolutely.
45:59Speaking of big intimidating tag teams up next, Tornado tag team action as the Usos and the Vision collide once again.
46:05Now you talk about intimidating.
46:07Indeed.
46:08Certainly a big night for the Vision coming up at Crown Jewel.
46:11As right now OTM looking to take advantage here.
46:13But Eric sending Neva to the outside.
46:15Sidesteps Lucian Price.
46:17That opportunity.
46:18Opening the door here for the War Raiders.
46:20And Ivar chopping at the bit to get back into this one.
46:22Oh, he's reaching out.
46:23Can he make the tag?
46:24Eric looking for it.
46:25Oh, and Rocco Neva.
46:26Oh, how wise.
46:27What incredible timing right there.
46:29Lucian Price back into this one.
46:30And Eric.
46:31Look, Eric's seen it all.
46:32He's felt it all.
46:33He's done it all.
46:34He knows that right now in the deep waters, he certainly can swim.
46:37Could be looking for that knockout blow.
46:39Could have been it right there.
46:40That knee right underneath the chin.
46:42Lucian Price is out.
46:43And Rocco Neva makes a big save.
46:45Of course, the War Raiders 7-0 on main event this year.
46:48Three-time former world tag team champions.
46:50We know how dominant these two can be, Vic.
46:52They certainly can be, but they're not showing their dominance right now.
46:55They're actually being dominated, which I'm still sitting here shocked.
46:58The WWE Universe almost stunned as well.
47:00Oh.
47:01As take a look at the double team.
47:02Take a look at the strength and feel the impact.
47:05How often do we see Eric and Ivar manhandled like this into the cover?
47:08Bronco Neva right on it.
47:10And two and three quarters right there.
47:12OTM very impressive here in their second appearance on main event.
47:15They certainly are.
47:16And you've got to give a lot of credit too, not only to OTM,
47:18but also to Eric in this match because you mentioned getting tossed around.
47:21He's a big individual.
47:22He certainly hasn't felt maybe this sort of pain.
47:24in recent memory, but he's showing you the resiliency that he does have
47:28inside the squared circle for him.
47:30Ivar's got to get back into this matchup.
47:32Of course, nearly a year ago, Eric returned from a devastating injury.
47:35Looking at 100% right here.
47:37And cutting down Bronco Neva now needs to make that tag to Ivar.
47:41Both superstars down here, Vic.
47:42Pivotal point in the matchup for both these teams.
47:45And look how far Lucien is reaching underneath that rope to yell at Bronco.
47:50He's got to get his arm back over the top rope to make the tag official,
47:53much like Ivar has.
47:54And Ivar's in.
47:55Here comes the big man.
47:57330 plus pounds right here from Valhalla.
48:00Taking down Lucien Price.
48:02And now Ivar looking to do the heavy lifting right now for the War Raiders.
48:06Uh-oh.
48:07SPAM!
48:08Big splash.
48:09Now the War Raiders looking to turn the corner right here.
48:13We know they're trying to get the attention of Raw GM Adam Pearce.
48:16They certainly are.
48:17And you're going to need a victory.
48:18Oh!
48:19But I mean, just the...
48:20Talk about the power.
48:21You talk about the strength.
48:22Look at the flexibility.
48:23Look at the athleticism of the big man.
48:25As Ivar charges in.
48:26Lucien Price stumbles out of the corner here.
48:28Creates some separation.
48:29But Ivar drives him right down yet again.
48:32Oh!
48:33Look at the athleticism of the big man.
48:35Ivar, a one-man wrecking crew.
48:40Clear the deck.
48:41Wiping out Neva.
48:43And a Bronco Buster for Price.
48:46Vic, you know what time it is.
48:48There's the tag into Eric.
48:50Let's see.
48:53Into position.
48:54The pass off into the power slam.
48:56Eric with the cover.
48:58Eric with the cover.
48:59One, two, three.
49:00And feel the wrath of Eric and Ivar.
49:04Here are your winners.
49:06The War Raiders.
49:10Well, the War Raiders had to turn into some war machines.
49:15And pick up a victory.
49:16I still am sitting here.
49:17Hats off to OTM for bringing the fight here tonight.
49:23Not often you see a comeback victory for the War Raiders.
49:26But a nice double team right there.
49:27Their cohesion pays off.
49:29A big victory over OTM.
49:31And now they're working towards that fourth World Tag Team Championship.
49:35Vic, they have to get the attention of Adam Pearce.
49:37Adam Pearce, are you watching?
49:39Are you not entertained at these two?
49:42Because the War Raiders are coming for the tag team titles.
49:51Coming up, the highly anticipated Wrestle Palooza rematch is here.
49:55After suffering defeat in Indianapolis, one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history,
50:00The Usos reunite once again to take on The Vision's big Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker in a Tornado Tag Team match.
50:08Next on Main Event.
50:09I had a dream.
50:10I had a dream.
50:11WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
50:21We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
50:25So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
50:30I had a dream.
50:32I had a vision.
50:34I had to work for this and you did it.
50:39It's time to double down, Las Vegas.
50:42WrestleMania returns in 2026.
50:45Are you ready?
50:55Now get me off of this thing.
51:00Welcome back to Main Event.
51:02Next week WWE heads down to Big D as Monday Night Raw emanates from the American Airlines Center in downtown Dallas, Texas.
51:10After vowing to make an example out of someone in the Raw Women's Division,
51:14the Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has targeted the Alpha Academy's Maxine Dupree.
51:20Next week Maxine will get her shot at payback when she goes one on one with the man in Dallas.
51:27And after weeks of going back and forth with the Judgment Days Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez,
51:33Lyra Valkyria will once again take on the prodigy in singles competition.
51:37With Valkyria scoring a victory in their last encounter,
51:40can Perez even score with the former Women's Intercontinental Champion?
51:44Find out next week on Raw.
51:46Fresh off a victory alongside his wife AJ Lee at Wrestlepalooza,
51:52the best in the world CM Punk makes his much anticipated return to Raw next Monday.
51:58What will the Second City Saint have in store for the WWE Universe
52:03as he continues his relentless pursuit of the Vision?
52:09But before we get to that thrilling action next week,
52:11we head back to Raleigh as the Vision's badass Braun Breaker
52:15and his partner Big Ronson Reed squared off against the Usos
52:19in a massive Tornado Tag Team Wrestlepalooza rematch last Monday.
52:29You know why? Because I think he's taken far too much enjoyment with continuing the beatdown.
52:34Well, I think inadvertently Jey Uso moved himself out of position for that spear,
52:38so Braun had to hit that clothesline, but that was certain death for this match,
52:43but it's going that way anyway, Joe.
52:45And now the combo work old school for the son of a Steiner.
52:50Electric chair, Bulldog, just completely debilitating Jey Uso.
52:57They look at each other as if, hey,
52:59you can choose anything you want from the menu of pain right now.
53:03Anything you want.
53:05Pick the bones at will all the time in the world.
53:09No one's here to save you, Jey.
53:12Jimmy's back up.
53:16Jimmy's somehow able to work his way free.
53:21He went through the table moments ago, and now this is their only hope.
53:26Can Jimmy survive a Samoan drop?
53:29I mean a pop-up Samoan that nearly scraped the ceiling of this arena.
53:35What the hell was that?
53:36It was the most power Jimmy Uso has ever pulled out of his body.
53:40And at the exact moment it was needed, but wait up, Joe.
53:43You can see the pain is in as Bronson Reed with a jagged edge.
53:50As Jey rises, he needs a spear this time.
53:54So a jagged edge and a spear.
53:57And the Usos are down and laid out.
54:01This has gotten real ugly, really quickly, Wade.
54:05Pick your victim.
54:06What are they doing now?
54:07Who do you wanna pin?
54:08They're both dumb.
54:09They're both toast right now.
54:10They're stacking them.
54:11The ultimate humiliation.
54:13They are stacking them.
54:15The ultimate act of dominance and weight off.
54:18No, this is no.
54:19A long distance suit.
54:20A long distance suit.
54:43OTC won!
54:45The Tribal Chief still chair in hands.
54:50Four weeks after being wiped out by this duo.
54:55A clash in Paris.
54:57You didn't finish the job.
55:00And now there is hell to pay.
55:02Roman Reigns is back.
55:05And just like in Paris,
55:11opposite Big Bronson Reed.
55:16Remember he was taken off in a stretcher.
55:23After being tsunamied on the stretcher.
55:26And now the steel chair is beating down Bronson Reed.
55:31Roman Reigns to the rescue of his family.
55:36And just when the Usos were about to be flattened by that tsunami.
55:41The OTC is back.
55:45He was hospitalized.
55:46What a secret.
55:47That was so much.
55:48And now he gives that chair right to the gun to Bronson Breaker.
55:51And to the back.
55:53And Roman Reigns going to war with the vision.
55:58And this match is still a going to test.
