00:00:00Then, now, forever, together,
00:00:30we're here in Sacramento, and for years,
00:00:36California's capital city has been home to WWE history-making moments,
00:00:41and tonight in SAC Town, you can sense it again,
00:00:43with three, yes, three championship matches
00:00:46as we make our way into this magnificent Golden One Center.
00:00:52Welcome to WWE Raw, live on Netflix, presented by DoorDash.
00:00:58Glad you're with us for what could be an altering evening in the ring
00:01:03as we're all still digesting the shocking events
00:01:06from last week's Raw on Netflix.
00:01:11In case you don't know.
00:01:19The official knocked down.
00:01:21Cody with an opportunity.
00:01:23Rollins used a watch to knock out Rhodes.
00:01:28I am the Crown Jewel Champion.
00:01:36And this is the vision.
00:01:43The greatness that I have assembled.
00:01:48By Oracle, with my vision, we have solidified you
00:01:55as the undisputed GOAT.
00:02:00Dawnbreaker, with my vision,
00:02:03you are without a doubt
00:02:04the undisputed future of this industry.
00:02:11Big Bronson!
00:02:14With my vision,
00:02:18You are the new Tribal Chief.
00:02:22I don't need the men in this ring.
00:02:29I have chosen the men in this ring.
00:02:33And they have chosen me
00:02:36because I am Seth
00:02:39Brinkin' Rollins!
00:02:48Jey Uso, L.A. Knight, CM Punk
00:02:50for an opportunity to face Seth Rollins
00:02:53for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:02:56CM Punk going to sleep!
00:02:58One step closer
00:03:01to recapturing the World Championship.
00:03:06Burn it!
00:03:08And Braun Brinkin' now
00:03:10with a spear to Jey Uso!
00:03:13And the vision
00:03:14marching to the ring!
00:03:16And now CM Punk is cornered.
00:03:18A massacre by design!
00:03:25Punk plays waste
00:03:27by Rollins' vision!
00:04:29Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:04:40We all just saw what happened last week, and as promised, I am here to provide a physical update.
00:05:26Ron Breaker, Bronson, Reed, and Wade Breaker still holding on to Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship.
00:05:32Yeah, conspicuents by his absence already this evening has been Seth freaking Rollins and these two insurgents who caused so much chaos last week.
00:05:44While we've been asking the question all week, why, hopefully, imminently, we're about to get some answers.
00:05:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the NWE Hall of Famer, the Oracle.
00:06:22Paul Heyman, along with Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed's division.
00:06:30That sign speaks volumes, doesn't it?
00:06:39Ron Breaker holding on to the prize goal that he smashed from the man he was supporting and aligned with as of seven days ago.
00:06:49Now holding that championship in abeyance apparently may have to be pride from Braun Breaker's cold dead hands.
00:07:07Good luck with that, Pat and Piers.
00:07:09You know, this is a good thing.
00:07:25I'm glad you're all out here because I want you all to hear this directly from me.
00:07:32I knew Seth was banged up coming out of that match at Crown Jewel, that classic against Cody Rhodes, but none of us will ever know how badly he was injured because of what you two did.
00:07:47Let me give you some news.
00:07:54Because of what you two did, Seth Rollins is at home just having had major surgery.
00:08:00Because of what you two did, Seth Rollins is on the shelf for quite a while, which means because of what you two did, I'm out here with the unfortunate responsibility to announce to the world that as of right now, because of you two, I hereby strip Seth Rollins of the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:08:25You look like you like that, but don't get too caught up in it because we're not going to be without a champion for long.
00:08:36We will crown a brand new world heavyweight champion in Salt Lake City at Saturday night's main event.
00:08:46Oh, CM Punk! CM Punk earned the right to fight for that championship, and his challenger will, and we're doing it old school because there will be an over-the-top rope battle royal, and the winner goes on to Salt Lake City, goes on to Saturday night's main event, and we'll fight Punk, and the winner takes home the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:09:08And when is this battle royal going to take place?
00:09:23The battle royal takes place tonight in Sacramento!
00:09:26Now, gentlemen, that no longer belongs to Seth Rollins, and it sure as hell doesn't belong to you.
00:09:51Braun, I'm going to need you to hand over that championship.
00:09:58And what if I don't?
00:10:20And what if I don't?
00:10:25I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:26That's all.
00:10:27Ask nicely.
00:10:28That's right.
00:10:29Hey, show me some respect.
00:10:30What if it's theőttelk or theőttelk?
00:10:31Yeah.
00:10:32I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:33You're not there.
00:10:34I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:35You're not there.
00:10:36I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:39I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:40That's all.
00:10:49Ask nicely.
00:10:50That's right.
00:10:51Hey, show me some respect.
00:10:55Yo, I'm going to need some respect.
00:10:59Yeah, he's reasonable.
00:11:04He's not saying no.
00:11:05That's nicely.
00:11:11Braun, respectfully, I'm going to need you to hand over the championship.
00:11:22Respectfully.
00:11:29Say please.
00:11:59Braun, respectfully, I'm going to need you to hand over the World Heavyweight Championship
00:12:20now, please.
00:12:26Please.
00:12:39That wasn't so hard, was it?
00:12:41That's so hard?
00:12:42No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:13:12Before we move on with the show, somebody smartened me up to this.
00:13:28Why is everyone so mad at us?
00:13:34I get it.
00:13:40Hey, I also watch Unreal.
00:13:45I understand.
00:13:46We're the bad guys.
00:13:47We're the villains.
00:13:48We're the heels.
00:13:49It's easy to point at us and go, boo.
00:13:53But what did we do to deserve that?
00:14:02But I failed to understand the vision had nothing to do with Seth freaking Rollins.
00:14:14I didn't leave the tribal chief, Roman Reigns, and betray my best friend CM Punk for Seth freaking Rollins.
00:14:25I pulled that move at WrestleMania because Braun Breaker is the future of WrestleMania.
00:14:33I pulled those moves at WrestleMania because deep in my heart, I always knew that Bronson Reed was better than Roman Reigns.
00:14:49Bronson Reed proved that in Perth, Australia.
00:15:00It was tribal thief over tribal chief.
00:15:05It was vision over bloodline.
00:15:15And there's Seth Rollins pointing to the future with his one good arm.
00:15:27Seth Rollins couldn't shoulder the responsibility of leading the vision into the future.
00:15:39Not with that bum shoulder.
00:15:41He's not a visionary.
00:15:43He's not a revolutionary.
00:15:44He's not the workhorse of the shield.
00:15:48He's not the leader of the vision.
00:15:51He's a bum shoulder bitch.
00:16:02So let's set the record straight.
00:16:06Winners write history.
00:16:09And these are the winners right here.
00:16:11Seth Rollins was in a main event WrestleMania no more.
00:16:16That spot was taken from him by Braun Breaker.
00:16:21I am an older, kinder, gentler, more compassionate, wise man, oracle advocate.
00:16:27But Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed conspired to take that away from Seth Rollins.
00:16:35They pulled the trigger.
00:16:36They pulled the trigger.
00:16:37They had the ambition.
00:16:38They had the need.
00:16:40They had the intensity to become WrestleMania main eventers.
00:16:50That's not revisionist history.
00:16:54That's a re-vision of the future.
00:17:00I thank you for your indulgence.
00:17:06I thank you for affording me this time.
00:17:09And, oh, yeah, by the way, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:17:23That's some kind of welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:17:26Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you.
00:17:28And I cannot believe some of the things that we just heard here.
00:17:31What did we do?
00:17:32He asks.
00:17:33Older, yes.
00:17:34Kindler, no.
00:17:35That is the way Monday Night Raw opens up.
00:17:37But let's get right to it because there was massive news in the midst of all that way.
00:17:42The surgery news, Seth Rollins, has to vacate the championship.
00:17:45Well, rumors have been circling for several days now.
00:17:49We were hoping they weren't true, but suddenly they are.
00:17:51Get well as soon as you possibly can.
00:17:54Seth freaking Rollins.
00:17:55But that just illustrates how dangerous a duo division really are.
00:18:00And then there's the other headline that you heard there.
00:18:02This show already incredibly stacked, but now a battle royal for number one contendership.
00:18:08And Sacramento's very own Maxine Dupree, one of the three championships we will see.
00:18:15As Maxine Dupree going after Becky Lynch's Intercontinental Championship right here in the 9-1-6.
00:18:21And the Women's World Champ is here.
00:18:23Stephanie Bacare coming off her crown jewel conquering.
00:18:27La Primera out to shut up Roxanne Perez.
00:18:29That is ahead.
00:18:32And it is an irate and determined Rusev coming for Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:18:37Dom's on whatever it takes to retain his IC.
00:18:40It may take even more now against this version of Rusev.
00:18:44Wait, speaking of Dirty Dom, take us back to last week.
00:18:47Yeah, this was last Monday on Raw.
00:18:49IC travel on the line.
00:18:50And as Penter challenged Dirty Dom, Rusev tried to get involved, thwarted by Penter.
00:18:56And then a bell hammer-assisted 6-1-9 connected with Penter's face, giving Dirty Dom yet another successful defense.
00:19:08What's up with my match against Rusev next week?
00:19:11Seems like I'm the only working champion around here.
00:19:14You know what?
00:19:14I think JV, McDonough, Finn Balor should defend their tag team championships too.
00:19:21In fact, I think they should defend them against myself and Dragon Lee.
00:19:25I think that'd be a great idea.
00:19:26I'm going to let them know or should I?
00:19:28What was your idea?
00:19:28I know I'm the man, but I'll let them know.
00:19:32You ruined this.
00:19:34Of course you're going to let them know.
00:19:35Focus up, Chiquita.
00:19:37You beat Steph tonight, then you have a claim to the Women's World Championship and bringing it back to the Judgment Day Clubhouse, where it belongs.
00:19:45Looks like we all have our work cut out for us tonight, huh?
00:19:47Hey, what's up, guys?
00:19:49Oh.
00:19:51What's up, Dom?
00:19:52What's the problem? Sacramento or something?
00:19:54You just had to open your mouth, didn't you?
00:19:56You just have to go talk to Pierce.
00:19:57Yeah, what are we doing talking to Pierce anyway?
00:19:59Now we have to defend our titles against Dragon and AJ.
00:20:03I didn't even say anything.
00:20:04I just said it was unfair that I'm the one defending my titles every week, but yet here you guys are complaining about AJ and Dragon.
00:20:12I already beat AJ twice.
00:20:14What, you guys can't take care of them?
00:20:17Of course we can.
00:20:18We're the WWE Tag Team Champions.
00:20:21We'll take care of Dragon and AJ, just like we take care of every other team around here, all right?
00:20:25Of course.
00:20:26You handle your business with Russo without us, all right?
00:20:28We got our hands full cleaning up your mess.
00:20:30Let's go, Finn.
00:20:31Let's go.
00:20:33Come on, yes.
00:20:35Tom, don't worry about them, okay?
00:20:37Don't get over it.
00:20:38You're good.
00:20:39You're killing it.
00:20:39You're double champ.
00:20:41You're keeping the gold on the Judgment Day exactly the way they want.
00:20:44So, don't let it get to you.
00:20:46Yeah, you're right.
00:20:47Thanks.
00:20:48All right.
00:20:49That's enough of that.
00:20:50Focus up.
00:20:51This is an important match, you've got.
00:20:53I know.
00:20:53Where's your head?
00:20:54Roxanne getting ready for Stephanie Bacare.
00:21:00But we're getting ready right now for this championship match.
00:21:03Past few weeks with AJ Styles have been special, and tonight could add to it greatly.
00:21:22The following tag team content is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Tag Team Championship.
00:21:42Yeah!
00:21:44Introducing first, the challenger, at a combined weight of 385 pounds, the team of Dragon Lee and the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:21:58Dragon Lee's first career tag team championship match for AJ Styles, his first in exactly four years.
00:22:08Gold on the line as they take on the Judgment Day, and this match is presented by Battlefield 6.
00:22:24My name is John Cena.
00:22:26I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry.
00:22:28I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry, and I'm living the dream.
00:22:31The champ is here!
00:22:38My time is here!
00:22:41You can't see me!
00:22:44My time is here!
00:22:54What a weekend coming your way in Salt Lake City, Utah.
00:22:58Friday night's SmackDown and Saturday night's main event are at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
00:23:04October 31st and Saturday, November 1st, individual event tickets are available.
00:23:09Right now, they have SeatGeek, SmackDown, and Saturday night's main event.
00:23:15Well, that is what is on the line.
00:23:17And wait, I'm sure you'll make up some excuse or better yet, celebrate inactivity and avoidance as good career strategy.
00:23:23But here are the facts, my friend.
00:23:26Finn Balor and J.D. McDonough have had the Tag Team Championships for 111 days, and this is only their second defense.
00:23:34You know what you call that?
00:23:35That aversion to defending your title?
00:23:38That is called being highly intelligent and ensuring that you have a longer reign than these idiots who come out here being a fighting champion, wanting to defend every week.
00:23:48I don't get those people.
00:23:49And it's called fighting spirit, and it's well-respected and creates legacy is what it is.
00:23:53It's called idiocy where I come from in England.
00:23:56But this is far from idiocy.
00:23:59An immediate hot start from one half of the Tag Champs against AJ Styles, who's been taking down a peg or two.
00:24:06Despite this audience's attempts to get him back on top.
00:24:14McDonough looks over at Finn Balor with a big grin after holding on to that top.
00:24:18But take that, says Styles.
00:24:21What an epic match AJ Styles had with John Cena at Crown Jewel last week.
00:24:25But it's now getting back to regular business and the acquisition of gold.
00:24:31You can talk about regular business, but that is already being talked about as an instant classic.
00:24:37The type of match that you will watch years from now and still enjoy.
00:24:41You will never see another match like that one at Crown Jewel between Cena and AJ Styles.
00:24:46Oh, good stomp by Dragon Lee.
00:24:49There's no time for a victory lap for AJ Styles or his tag partner, Dragon Lee, who, of course, has been his biggest supporter of late.
00:24:56They look to make some history here tonight.
00:24:58McDonough drippin' him up and then a stomp of his own.
00:25:05And as much as the Judgment Day did not want to be defending their gold tonight,
00:25:09this has the potential to be a complete disaster night for the Judgment Day as a whole, of course.
00:25:15Dirty Dom is defending his Intercontinental title later tonight against Rusev.
00:25:20So, potentially, the Judgment Day could lose every piece of gold in the clubhouse apart from that AAA Mega Championship.
00:25:29Oh, and don't forget, Dragon Lee is next in line for an opportunity at Dom's AAA Gold 2.
00:25:36That's right.
00:25:37Level champion is Dom Mysterio.
00:25:40And Dragon Lee has worked himself into that number one role in AAA.
00:25:44And now he's mounting a comeback here against Finn Balor.
00:25:50Great start for the Judgment Day.
00:25:52And now Dragon Lee's fire is coming to the floor.
00:25:55This guy can move like no other.
00:25:58Look at how quickly he was able to connect with that knee.
00:26:02And then drives the shoulder right into Finn.
00:26:04Dragon Lee is just a step ahead.
00:26:07Speak too soon.
00:26:08Finn gets a fifth gear candy.
00:26:10Hey, just that freak athleticism of Finn Balor, who has been running things here in WWE for almost the past 10 years.
00:26:20There's no sign of wanting to give up his grasp of the tag team titles tonight.
00:26:28Dragon Lee in a really tough spot, just pinned in that corner of Judgment Day.
00:26:34The World Tag Team Champions.
00:26:36First time that these tag titles have been defended since July 28th.
00:26:43Another thing I find fascinating, the biggest plus is we see a little underhanded tactics man.
00:26:48The referee's back, a little gouge of the eye perhaps there from Finn Balor.
00:26:52That was nice.
00:26:53But it's the fact that the Judgment Day, their superiority really came from using that numbers game.
00:26:58From having people on the outside to interfere in your matches.
00:27:01The tensions in the Judgment Day, of late, have completely negated that numbers game.
00:27:08Both with Dirty Dom and his singles matches, and with the tag champs.
00:27:13Well, I think Dirty Dom is really the root of that, don't you, Wayne?
00:27:17Arguably, some of the actions we've seen recently.
00:27:19Other people are saying...
00:27:21Look at the leg off the snap suplex from Finn Balor.
00:27:24Other people are saying that the Judgment Day are jealous of Dirty Dom because he has two championships.
00:27:29I don't know who's to blame, but I do know they all need to get back on the same page sooner rather than later.
00:27:36I'll tell you right now, Dragon Lee is desperate to make that tag with AJ Styles.
00:27:42And that is why it was so smart of JD McDonough to pop AJ Styles off the apron and prevent that from happening.
00:27:48It's classic tag.
00:27:49Oh, look at this!
00:27:50Not in this qualification restaurant.
00:27:52Styles comes right into the mix.
00:27:54There was no tag there whatsoever.
00:27:56Oh, there's going to be one right here.
00:27:57He throws him into his own corner, makes the tag, and here comes AJ Styles.
00:28:04And look at the striking attack.
00:28:06A lot of leniency given there from the referee.
00:28:09Oh, yes!
00:28:10McDonough just pulled the ropes wide open.
00:28:13And he's acting as if he's the one hurt.
00:28:16We are here.
00:28:16We are here in Sacramento, a big house in Golden 1 Center, and they are seeing the World Tag Team Championship matches, the Judgment Day.
00:28:32Looking to defend against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee as Styles trying to fight his way back in.
00:28:38But Finn Bauer and JD have been getting the best of them.
00:28:40And now Styles looking to turn things around.
00:28:46Well, pulling that move out of nowhere, just like it looked when all hope was lost for AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
00:28:53Finally an opportunity to get back into this championship fight.
00:28:58Needs a tag here and a big win.
00:29:00It looks like it's coming.
00:29:01Dragon Lee into the break.
00:29:04Oh, straight to Finn.
00:29:07And how about some for JD?
00:29:10This transcendent, springy energy of Dragon Lee has fully taken control of this match.
00:29:17It's been amazing to see how they've worked their way into contention.
00:29:20The chemistry that's developed between Styles and Lee.
00:29:23High energy right now from Dragon Lee.
00:29:26Looking to claim gold here in Sacramento.
00:29:28Constantly thinking, is JD McDonough one of the most intelligent superstars in the locker room?
00:29:35But JD McDonough is perhaps running on fumes here.
00:29:38Oh, he's got him lined up.
00:29:40He's got him lined up.
00:29:42Double stop.
00:29:44You can feel the impact of that one.
00:29:47Right on the solar plexus of JD McDonough,
00:29:50who came crashing down hard in the corner of the ring.
00:29:55Dragon Lee.
00:29:56Oh, but instead of the potential for Operation Dragon, it's Finn saving the day.
00:30:01That's a good teamwork right there.
00:30:03Oh, no!
00:30:04High flying!
00:30:07My, oh, my!
00:30:08Well, Dragon Lee just refuses to be denied here.
00:30:12Dropping the hammer.
00:30:14At the exact right time.
00:30:17And tag goal could be about to change.
00:30:19Could it be for Styles and Lee right here, right now?
00:30:27First time that Dragon Lee's ever competed for tag championships.
00:30:32But JD McDonough turns it around.
00:30:35That's such quick movement.
00:30:37And the criminally undersold power game of JD McDonough after this epic die from Dragon Lee.
00:30:43And watch the movement and the power, the technique.
00:30:47JD McDonough has it all.
00:30:49That is proof positive of why he is one half of the tag team champs here on Raw.
00:30:54And it's that viper-like strike.
00:30:57The transition into the power game that's so impressive as well.
00:31:01Here comes Styles.
00:31:02Two veterans duking it out in there.
00:31:05AJ Styles, who is going to retire in 2026.
00:31:08This could be one of the last opportunities to win gold in his illustrious career.
00:31:14Oh, he had Finn in position.
00:31:16Finn breaks across the ice to break free.
00:31:18McDonough now into the mix.
00:31:19Styles gets the best of him.
00:31:21Styles could even see.
00:31:23I think he thought he grabbed Finn Balor there.
00:31:25But no, it was JD McDonough who is not legal.
00:31:28Finn is still legal here.
00:31:30And a sling blade connects on a completely unsighted AJ Styles.
00:31:37And then he sends Dragon Lee over the top.
00:31:41Balor looking to win this one on his own with...
00:31:44Oh!
00:31:45Could it be?
00:31:46Softened up with the first one.
00:31:48Could it be?
00:31:50Oh, he lands it!
00:31:51Phenomenal forearm to win gold right here!
00:31:55Oh!
00:31:55I'm in a 2.999 save!
00:32:01Oh, absolute perfection here from AJ Styles.
00:32:05Welcome to your new tag champs.
00:32:08It's a one, it's a two, and it's a denial by the brilliance of JD McDonough.
00:32:15Pinpoint timing.
00:32:16That's how close we were to having new tag team champions.
00:32:23Oh, and the big head of McDonough does damage.
00:32:26Kele by Styles.
00:32:28Everyone in this match completely rocked, completely spent.
00:32:32Who can dig deeper?
00:32:34Oh!
00:32:34Would you look at this?
00:32:35Oh!
00:32:36Spanish fly middle of the ring, hooks the leg.
00:32:39Oh, and that left shoulder gets up.
00:32:41Oh, we got great stuff here in Sacramento.
00:32:43And it just shows you, before our eyes, the way superstars can raise their game when the stakes are at their highest.
00:32:52This one completely up for grabs now.
00:32:54And AJ Styles looks like toast.
00:32:57The moonsault lands!
00:32:59Tens all around for that.
00:33:01This one's gonna sting!
00:33:02Coup de Grasse!
00:33:04And the cover to retain!
00:33:07No!
00:33:07Dragon Lee!
00:33:10Dragon Lee went flying over JD McDonough.
00:33:14McDonough thought he had blocked him.
00:33:16And Lee went flying for the save.
00:33:18Great reflexes there from Dragon Lee.
00:33:21It should have been over once again.
00:33:23Judgment Day should have retained.
00:33:25Man, oh man!
00:33:27Absolute chaos on Bradley.
00:33:29But keep your eyes peeled, Finn.
00:33:30The pace we're dealing with here is incredible.
00:33:35And the cap...
00:33:36Yes!
00:33:38Trying to deliver his own medicine.
00:33:40Is he looking for a Styles clash?
00:33:42Denied.
00:33:43No one does it like AJ Styles.
00:33:46But instead, would you look at Styles?
00:33:49Look at Styles!
00:33:50The future Hall of Famer!
00:33:53How about some gold right here?
00:33:59Here!
00:34:00Here are your winners as the new World 10 Team Champion!
00:34:08Dragon Lee!
00:34:10And the phenomenal AJ Styles!
00:34:15What an absolute classic!
00:34:20And I want to see that one run back again and again.
00:34:24But this is how it all went down.
00:34:25This picture-perfect moonsault from JD McDonough.
00:34:29Stacked with this Cuda grass right on the chest of AJ Styles.
00:34:36It's game over.
00:34:37JD McDonough playing blocker.
00:34:39But the reflexes of Dragon Lee managed to break it up in time.
00:34:43Crash landing on the outside.
00:34:45Then there were two.
00:34:46Finn Balor trying for the Styles Clash.
00:34:49AJ saying,
00:34:50Nah-nah, not tonight, pal.
00:34:52Let me hug you.
00:34:53Styles Clash on my own.
00:34:56So sweet for AJ.
00:34:58And the three Cowblazer, we have new World 10 Team Champions on this arena just exploded in Glee.
00:35:07New Tag Team Champions.
00:35:21And what a way they did it in.
00:35:23A spectacular finish.
00:35:25And let me just say this.
00:35:26The last nine days of AJ Styles.
00:35:30From what we saw in that all-time classic of Crown Jewel.
00:35:33To what we just witnessed right here.
00:35:37That was awesome.
00:35:38As for the eight-time Tag Team champs who have been getting our attention lately.
00:35:43Let's remind people what has gone down with Jimmy and Jay Buso.
00:35:46Take us back to last week, Wayne.
00:35:52Tonight what?
00:35:53Let me guess.
00:35:54I'm on my own tonight?
00:35:56Huh?
00:35:56What you think, Big Tim?
00:35:58Can't handle Big Head Bronson Reed, huh?
00:36:00No, man.
00:36:00That's what it sound like.
00:36:01That's not what I meant.
00:36:02Well, good, Oss.
00:36:04Check it.
00:36:05You handling your business?
00:36:07Man, I'm gonna handle mine.
00:36:11Well, unfortunately for Jimmy,
00:36:13he was the recipient of a Bronson Reed tsunami.
00:36:18And things did not get any better post-matches.
00:36:21The dogs were barking loud in Perth.
00:36:24A beatdown ensued
00:36:26until brother Jay, despite his earlier vow,
00:36:30could not hold himself back.
00:36:32And he came down to protect Big Jim.
00:36:35It was all going so well
00:36:36until Jay got his ribs tagged by Bronson Reed.
00:36:39That would subsequently amper Jay
00:36:41in his number one contender matchup
00:36:43later that night.
00:36:53What?
00:36:55I'm supposed to acknowledge you now?
00:36:58I get it.
00:37:00What I said to you last week
00:37:01wasn't right.
00:37:04I wasn't mad at you, Woos.
00:37:06I was mad at myself
00:37:09for making the same mistake
00:37:11I did in Paris.
00:37:13All I know is
00:37:14if Big Goose was here tonight-
00:37:16Bro, Roman is not here tonight.
00:37:18Roman will not be in the Battle Royal tonight.
00:37:21Roman is not in line
00:37:22for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
00:37:25Woos, you know who is, though?
00:37:26You.
00:37:27You know who else is?
00:37:28Me.
00:37:28Man, Roman got you thinking
00:37:31just because you stick your neck out
00:37:33to help people
00:37:33that's why you lost your championship?
00:37:35Man, that's cap.
00:37:38Why you lost your championship
00:37:39is because Jay
00:37:40stopped believing in Jay.
00:37:47You might be right, Oof.
00:37:53Roman might be right, too.
00:37:54How about this, then?
00:38:00You better figure this out
00:38:01before that Battle Royal comes, Moose.
00:38:03Because when we get in that ring tonight,
00:38:04I'm going in on everybody, including you.
00:38:10Go in, then.
00:38:13Are we good, though?
00:38:17Yeah.
00:38:20Look.
00:38:20Well, the good news is, Wade,
00:38:25everybody is going in on everybody
00:38:27because we have found out
00:38:29we have a World Heavyweight Championship
00:38:32number one contenders battle royal,
00:38:34and it's going to include L.A. Knight.
00:38:38Look at this lineup
00:38:39that's coming your way
00:38:41to see who will take on C.M. Punk
00:38:43for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:38:45A huge night we've got here on Raw,
00:38:57and it is not slowing down
00:38:59any time soon, Joe.
00:39:01We have an Intercontinental Championship match
00:39:04right now, right here.
00:39:06The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
00:39:13and it is for
00:39:15the Intercontinental Championship.
00:39:21Introducing first,
00:39:23representing the Judgment Day,
00:39:25from San Diego, California,
00:39:28weighing in at 200 pounds,
00:39:30he is the Mega Triple-A
00:39:33and the Intercontinental Champion,
00:39:37Dirty Dominic Mysterio!
00:39:41And with that statistical information,
00:39:44we can add he's the first WWE superstar
00:39:47to hold a WWE and Triple-A title
00:39:51at the same time.
00:39:53Dom defends the IC against Rusev
00:39:56next, Raw on Netflix.
00:39:59Dirty Tom Mysterio
00:40:17going up against Rusev.
00:40:19Of course, we recently saw that back
00:40:21at the end of September.
00:40:24We also saw exactly how it ended
00:40:26with a low blow when the ref wasn't looking.
00:40:29This will be the 12th time
00:40:31that this championship,
00:40:32the Intercontinental Championship,
00:40:34has been on the line here in 2025.
00:40:39Look, whenever you,
00:40:40as a champion in WWE,
00:40:42have to defend your goal,
00:40:44there's always a level of apprehension.
00:40:47But with Dirty Domi,
00:40:48seems utterly terrified of Rusev.
00:40:51He had to fight for T TH enhance his career
00:40:54and this Daniel Juan Amara
00:40:55a level of 1949,
00:40:56player,
00:40:56player,
00:40:57player,
00:40:57player!
00:40:58player,
00:40:59player,
00:41:01player,
00:41:03player,
00:41:03player,
00:41:03player,
00:41:06player,
00:41:09player,
00:41:09player,
00:41:11player,
00:41:11player,
00:41:11player!
00:41:12player,
00:41:12player,
00:41:17Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!
00:41:22Dirty! Dirty!
00:41:27Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Dirty!
00:41:44My name is Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:41:47Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! Me!
00:41:50And I am your mega intercontinental champion
00:42:20and this feels different, I'm not gonna lie, but at the end of the day, Dirty Dom's got to do what he's got to do to stay your double champion.
00:42:43So the talking for walks was the easy part for Dirty Dom. Things get a lot more tough from here.
00:42:50Speaking of San Diego, Dirty Dom of course from there and now looking to defend against this man.
00:43:12I can't even imagine how badly Rusev wants to get his hands on Dirty Dom.
00:43:17It's six years since he's held a championship in WWE and we know why he wants him so badly.
00:43:22Three weeks ago, defending the IC title against Rusev. Once again, major chicanery from the champ.
00:43:29But Eddie Guerrero, you are not Dom. Caught red-handed by the referee, but then using the referee to his advantage.
00:43:38A low blow and once again, Dirty Dom by the skin of his teeth escapes with the goal.
00:43:46Now add that to last week's underhanded defeat of Penza using the ring bell hammer.
00:43:53And clearly Dom has the deepest bag of tricks in the game at his disposal.
00:43:58You know, the euphemisms that you keep on descriptive for Dirty Dom, bag of tricks, underhanded.
00:44:05How do you... Oh!
00:44:06We're not wasting any time here.
00:44:07Well there's a bag of tricks is already opening. Oh man!
00:44:11Jumpstart on Rusev before the bell even rings. And the referee desperately trying to get control.
00:44:18What a smart move once again by Dirty Dom.
00:44:21Wait, can you believe how much the steel steps moved by the impact of the big man Rusev?
00:44:27I absolutely can. I used to tag team with Rusev back in my League of Nations days.
00:44:32And there's a good reason why I sit here and don't get in the ring with people like Rusev anymore.
00:44:38Rusev now, the intensity, it is boiled over as he delivers that uppercut to Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:44:46He's had the title for 182 days. This is 8th defense.
00:44:50And this is where if you're Dirty Dom Mysterio, you feel like you've already played the ace.
00:44:56You did the hot start, you threw the challenger into the steps before the bell rings.
00:45:00Should be easy from here.
00:45:02When that challenger immediately bounces back like the brute of a human being he is.
00:45:08Suddenly you think, it ain't my night.
00:45:10Look at the way he stalks his prey at moments like this too.
00:45:14And then thriving that boot right across the neck.
00:45:18The Looney tattooed neck, might we add.
00:45:21I mean, I think it was Confucius who said that how do you improve perfection?
00:45:26You add a neck tattoo.
00:45:28And that is why the women of Planet Earth, especially the housewives,
00:45:33just cannot take their eyes off Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:45:36You've pulled women out there who believe that Dom is better looking with the giant neck tattoo covering his Adam's outfit.
00:45:43I mean, I've always thought that the Mona Lisa had something missing.
00:45:47Add a little neck tattoo and I'm sure Dom knows an artist who can do that quite easily if the Louvre want to give us a little clip.
00:45:54Small fee involved of course.
00:45:56Now they got their own problems right now.
00:45:58Yep.
00:45:59Still even there.
00:46:00Elbow driving down from Rusev.
00:46:02He is in complete control early on here.
00:46:05Intercontinental Championship match.
00:46:07It's Sacramento and the big kick just driving Dom back as he reaches for his sternum and that neck again.
00:46:14We're talking about the tricks of Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:46:17Rusev is just a guy who doesn't need tricks.
00:46:20He just goes straight line, smash mouth, shortest distance to your goals.
00:46:25And the shortest distance to the goal right now is caving in the face of Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:46:31Well, Dom able to get that big boot up and now he climbs up top on his own.
00:46:37Now wobbling Rusev.
00:46:39Challenger suddenly looking rocked in.
00:46:41Yep.
00:46:42It's gonna take a bit of an attack to wobble Rusev as he's trying to get the best of him right now against the big man.
00:46:48Oh, but the cross body is caught.
00:46:52Dom out the back door and the drop kick lines him up.
00:46:56But instead of the 619, it's Dom who collapses under the power of Rusev.
00:47:05Yeah!
00:47:06Club to the top of the head, it wasn't even a clothesline.
00:47:08I don't know what Rusev was aiming at, but it was highly effective.
00:47:12But now a flurry of suplexes completely flattening the champ.
00:47:17And the ball away as well.
00:47:18It sends him all the way across the ring and out onto the floor.
00:47:23The power of Rusev looking for the IC title.
00:47:35Back on September 29th, Dirty Dom and Rusev met for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:47:42It was the low blow that decided things when the ref wasn't looking.
00:47:47And now Rusev is seeking revenge.
00:47:51And I'll tell you right now, I knew Rusev pretty well back in my former life.
00:47:55Although I stay well clear even these days.
00:47:58Rusev, oh, as the actions get too close for comfort here, Joe Test.
00:48:02Keep your eyes open.
00:48:03Rusev's brain will simply not compute that he was beaten by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:48:11Regardless of how it went down, once Rusev got that opportunity three weeks ago,
00:48:16it was as good as guaranteed that he was going to be the new.
00:48:21Let me show you, Dom Dom.
00:48:23This is not Intercontinental Champion.
00:48:25I am.
00:48:27He is just ragdolling Dirty Dom on the outside.
00:48:33There's never been anything other than a frown on the face of Rusev for the past six weeks or so.
00:48:39Ever since he got Dom in his crosshairs and is not lifting whatsoever.
00:48:46Certainly won't unless Rusev grabs gold here.
00:48:50Now Rusev is just playing along as the crowd sings along and he drives knee after knee into his back.
00:48:59It's been a surprisingly pro Dirty Dom crowd at times.
00:49:03I think they can't decide if they love him or loathe him, but they are seemingly unified in that they loathe Rusev.
00:49:13Who do you hate more?
00:49:14I think that's the computations going through the mind of this audience currently.
00:49:20Tom trying to elbow his way out.
00:49:23And now all of a sudden looking to turn things against Rusev, but does he have enough strength?
00:49:28Just gets out of the way as Rusev was looking to play all his body weight down onto Dom.
00:49:35And into the cover immediately, which didn't even barely get a one count.
00:49:40Yeah, and once again the hopes inside Dirty Dom Mysterio of winning this match fade with every shot of offense that just bounces off Rusev.
00:49:51How quickly Rusev turns that around just as Dom gets a foothold in the match immediately snatching it away as this big Bulgarian.
00:50:02May have hurt his tailbone on that landing a little earlier.
00:50:08Doesn't seem to be slowing Rusev down, just has a little more power than each of those shots targeted at the body of Mysterio.
00:50:16He's enjoying it, isn't he?
00:50:19He'll be enjoying it even more if he grabs gold here, Joe.
00:50:25That is what is on the line, the Intercontinental Championship.
00:50:37Rusev hasn't held a title in WWE since 2019.
00:50:41A few weeks ago he thought he had his golden opportunity only to suffer a low blow from Dirty Dom.
00:50:48And Dom was able to defend.
00:50:50And now Dominic Mysterio is looking to rally back here against the big man.
00:50:55This is finally a flurry from Dirty Dom that has grounded the big challenger here.
00:51:01Can Dom sustain it?
00:51:03So far things just haven't worked in favor of the champion.
00:51:08This might be a moment.
00:51:11Locked up as he was trying to get the suplex but instead...
00:51:15Oh!
00:51:17Dom with a nice counter.
00:51:19That shot, Rusev.
00:51:20Hook in the leg.
00:51:21Looking for McCain.
00:51:22And the kick out at two.
00:51:23Just shows how creative and inventive Dirty Dom can be.
00:51:27Tucking in those legs and turning what looked to be a faceplant into a roll-through suplex of his own.
00:51:35Knocking the wind out of the challenger and now Dirty Dom gets the chance to put this one to bed.
00:51:41Rusev is in the drop zone.
00:51:44Oh!
00:51:45Oh!
00:51:46Able to get the D's up!
00:51:47But it may not be the Judgment Day's night here.
00:51:50Already dropped their tag goal.
00:51:53The IC title may be shortly to follow.
00:51:56And now the power of the big Bulgarian comes through.
00:52:00Could he be moments away from gold?
00:52:05Well, Dirty Dom just looks like a carcass right now.
00:52:08Game!
00:52:10Over!
00:52:11Game over, he says.
00:52:13And it usually is.
00:52:14The accolade is going in.
00:52:16Oh, no!
00:52:17Dirty Dom is going to slither his way out!
00:52:21If that submission hold...
00:52:23And now he's grabbing both of his titles.
00:52:26The Triple-A make up.
00:52:28Oh!
00:52:29What a second!
00:52:30There's Penta!
00:52:31Right in the midst of it!
00:52:32Last week's victim of it!
00:52:34Oh!
00:52:35Oh, Dirty Dom goes over the top there.
00:52:37Oh, geez, I was just about to have a sip.
00:52:40Well, Rusev is just refusing to be denied here.
00:52:43Crushing Dirty Dom into Penta, who prevented Dirty Dom escaping.
00:52:49You know, Penta is still rather angry that he did not win the game.
00:52:53Oh, wait up.
00:52:54And Penta's...
00:52:55Oh!
00:52:56Huge right hand just levels Penta.
00:52:59Meanwhile, back in the ring.
00:53:01Dirty Dom...
00:53:03Shoving...
00:53:05He got the hammer in his boot again!
00:53:08Well, deception once again from Dirty Dom.
00:53:11He's going to do the same thing with the six...
00:53:13Oh!
00:53:14Denied!
00:53:15That's how he got rid of Penta, but Rusev stops him from doing it!
00:53:20Well, Bell Hammer in the boot!
00:53:22Rusev flies to it!
00:53:23There it is!
00:53:24The Time Keeper's hammer, it didn't work!
00:53:27Rusev's going to get disqualified if he's not careful!
00:53:30Oh, the referee's going to clear the ring of the hammer.
00:53:33Oh!
00:53:34Man parts!
00:53:35Onions fried!
00:53:396-1-9!
00:53:42And going up top!
00:53:47Frog Splash!
00:53:48Dirty Dom!
00:53:49Does it again!
00:53:50Here is your winner, and still the Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio!
00:54:06He went for the Time Keeper's hammer again.
00:54:10It didn't work, and yet another wall blow, this one from behind determines it.
00:54:16What absolute battle, and this was Dirty Dom deciding to call it a day.
00:54:20Walk home with the gold.
00:54:22Penta, who got screwed by Dom last week, had other ideas, unbeknownst to Penta.
00:54:28He subsequently got flattened by a flying Dirty Dom Mysterio,
00:54:33and this was the moment Dirty Dom carefully, discreetly, apparently,
00:54:38picked up that Bell Hammer once again, caught by Rusev,
00:54:42and amidst this distraction as the referee was on the ball,
00:54:45one low blow later.
00:54:48The 6-1-9, a frog splash, and once again, by the skin of his teeth,
00:54:55Dirty Dominic Mysterio escapes the victory, and is still the champ champ.
00:55:02And Penta got laid out by Rusev, and Dirty Dom just smiling smugly as he...
00:55:09Oh, there's Penta!
00:55:11Oh, spring forward tornado DDT!
00:55:17A modicum of revenge for Penta, who just got dropped with a big right hand from Rusev.
00:55:28Apparently, Penta still has designs of Dirty Dom's Intercontinental Championship.
00:55:33As he points his way.
00:55:37But coming up next, these hometown fans are gonna erupt.
00:55:42Big Dreaming Maxine Dupree, her moment to shine.
00:55:45Women's Intercontinental Championship match.
00:55:48Maxine against Becky Lynch here at home in Sacramento for Dupree.
00:55:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests, Grayson Waller, and the New Day's Kofi Kingston!
00:56:10Kofi, for months, yourself and Xavier Woods have talked about the fact that you feel Adam Pearce has killed the tag team division.
00:56:22However, we just witnessed an incredible matchup earlier on tonight between the Judgment Day and the new world tag team champions, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
00:56:31So, any chance of you recanting that position?
00:56:35Hey, we watched that match, and to be honest, we weren't impressed.
00:56:39You have the Judgment Day, who defended the title successfully once in 150 days.
00:56:44And then you have this new makeshift team.
00:56:46AJ Styles, who needs to be taken behind the shed like Old Yeller and finished off.
00:56:50And you have Dragon Lee, who wears a mask.
00:56:54Because you know what happens when you wear a mask in WWE now?
00:56:57You get handed everything on a silver platter.
00:57:00Thank you, sir, thank you, senor, por favor.
00:57:02Even a tag team championship match, when you don't even belong in a tag team!
00:57:07And that's why we're still wearing black.
00:57:10Because this tag division is deader than the Sacramento Kings are as an NBA franchise.
00:57:16Dead.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:18Why'd that be?
00:57:19Saxton, you see, it's questions like that that have driven Xavier Woods to the point of insanity.
00:57:25To the point where he can't be here today because he's taking time off to protect his mental health.
00:57:30He did, however, have a message for the people of Sacramento.
00:57:34Two things.
00:57:35He said, number one, your children are ugly.
00:57:39Yup.
00:57:41I'm not there.
00:57:42Ugly.
00:57:43Yup.
00:57:44Yup.
00:57:45Yup.
00:57:46And number two, the tag team division is nothing without us as on top of the tag team division.
00:57:53You understand that, right?
00:57:54I understand that.
00:57:55So B, here we have a chance to do what we said we were going to do.
00:57:59We said that we are going to resurrect the tag team division.
00:58:02We're going to do that.
00:58:04We're going to do that.
00:58:05And we're going to do that.
00:58:06We're going to do that!
00:58:07And we're going to do that!
00:58:08We're going to do that!
00:58:09We're going to do that!
00:58:10We're going to do that!
00:58:11We're going to do that!
00:58:12We're going to do that!
00:58:13We're going to do that!
00:58:15Tonight, we also have a chance to resurrect the entire industry.
00:58:20When Grayson Waller or myself wins the Battle Royal here tonight and then later goes
00:58:27on to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champions.
00:58:30champions and when we do y'all will be thankful for that y'all will thank god for that
00:58:39so get down on your knees raise your hands to the sky and scream out in unison thank
00:58:48here here in the 916 sacramento a reminder that saturday morning cartoons are back
00:59:00full episodes of the classic Hulk Hogan's Rocket Wrestling now available on the WWE Vault YouTube
00:59:07channel episodes post first thing saturday morning you can head to youtube.com slash
00:59:12WWE Vault enjoy every episode from the series and more nostalgic WWE archive content well we just
00:59:19turned around and had a great visit with two of the greats from MMA California native and veteran
00:59:26UFC welterweight Max Griffin is here and the master of the Stockton slap is here fan favorite
00:59:34Nate Diaz he did it all in his career 2016 the win over Conor McGregor fought for the original
00:59:41BMF title good to have them ringside on a night of championship matches we have new world tag team
00:59:48champions in AJ Styles and Dragon Lee and now it means so much for Maxine Dupree to be in this arena
00:59:57for this moment of course weight is what happened two weeks ago that earned her this opportunity
01:00:04yeah this was raw a couple of weeks ago Becky Lynch getting into a mid-match argument with referee
01:00:10Jessica Carr during her own match with Maxine Dupree now Lynch looked dominant started taunting the crowd
01:00:19and while this was going on Maxine navigated her way back in the ring listen to count here
01:00:26that is creative liberty with the count cadence fast counting Lynch out handing a hugely improbable win
01:00:34to the underdog Maxine Dupree to the underdog Maxine Dupree to have it right here in her hometown Maxine Dupree back home in Sacramento
01:00:51earning herself a championship match in the process nobody saw this coming especially not her victim two weeks ago
01:01:02the champ Becky Lynch
01:01:04one of the greatest to ever do it
01:01:19but recently it's been Becky Lynch's dismissive and pulling attitude towards Maxine Dupree
01:01:25that has set the stage for what's in front of us now
01:01:29Becky's been a very active IC champ Wade
01:01:33this the man's seventh defense of the title in 134 days
01:01:37well Becky's been on a bit of a downward spiral of late
01:01:41lost to Punk at AJ Lee and mixed tag at Wrestle Palooza
01:01:44lost to Maxine Dupree in shocking fashion as we just saw a couple of weeks ago
01:01:49and now she's got to be reeling from the fact that her husband
01:01:52Seth Freakin' Wallins has now had a major surgery
01:01:56and has had to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship
01:02:00I would argue that Becky Lynch right now is a woman best avoided
01:02:05even if you think you can get thrown her from that Intercontinental Championship
01:02:10I want to get a little deeper into that conversation and analysis for this match in a moment
01:02:14but first we are ready to get going here between Becky Lynch
01:02:19and Maxine Dupree for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
01:02:24and with the championship on the line here's Lillian Garcia
01:02:31the following contest is scheduled for one fall
01:02:37and it is for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
01:02:43introducing first
01:02:48the challenger
01:02:49from Sacramento, California
01:02:52representing Alpha Academy
01:02:57Maxine Dupree
01:03:02and her opponent
01:03:08from Dublin, Ireland
01:03:10she is
01:03:11the Women's Intercontinental Champion
01:03:15the man
01:03:18Becky
01:03:19Lynch
01:03:21the body language
01:03:34the look
01:03:36and what lies behind those sunglasses
01:03:40of Becky Lynch
01:03:41will reveal a lot
01:03:43as the Women's Intercontinental Championship
01:03:46is on the line
01:03:47but to get back to the conversation
01:03:49that we were just having as Becky Lynch just comes driving across the ring
01:03:54she's the ultimate veteran
01:03:55but Wade
01:03:56of course there has to be a part of her
01:03:59that could be dealing with what lies heavy on her mind
01:04:03considering the news
01:04:04especially the news we received earlier tonight
01:04:06surrounding her husband Seth Rollins
01:04:09who was forced to vacate
01:04:10the World Heavyweight Championship
01:04:13and we heard the medical update as well
01:04:15with the surgery that will have him out of action
01:04:17you try to compartmentalize when you get in the ring
01:04:21and leave family business at the front door
01:04:24it's impossible to do that
01:04:26when you are so close
01:04:27married
01:04:28to the World Heavyweight Champion
01:04:30who is now on the shelf
01:04:32the former World Heavyweight Champion
01:04:33it still doesn't seem real to a lot of us
01:04:35but it sadly is
01:04:36oh
01:04:37how about this for Maxine
01:04:38the counter
01:04:39as Becky looked like she was going early
01:04:41into the manhandle slam
01:04:42and now the pin in combination
01:04:44from Dupree looking for a major upset here at home
01:04:47with a big boot
01:04:47from Becky Lynch
01:04:48I'll tell you this right now
01:04:49we had the shock
01:04:50a couple of weeks ago
01:04:51that we just saw Maxine
01:04:53pulling out the performance of a lifetime
01:04:55if Maxine cannot follow that up tonight
01:04:57and gets absolutely smoked
01:04:59which is how things are looking
01:05:01that will forever be put down
01:05:03as a fluke result
01:05:04a flash in the pan
01:05:06not looking good so far
01:05:09for Maxine
01:05:09huge start from the Intercontinental Champion
01:05:11Maxine Dupree
01:05:18struggling to get back to her feet
01:05:19and get back to the ring here
01:05:21as that is what they are battling for
01:05:23the Women's Intercontinental Championship
01:05:24Becky Lynch weight is being
01:05:26in complete control
01:05:27from the start
01:05:28here you can see the
01:05:30mood of
01:05:31Becky Lynch
01:05:33is not being lightened
01:05:34whatsoever
01:05:34by the fact that the referee
01:05:36Jessica Carr
01:05:37is the same one
01:05:37who counted her out
01:05:38two weeks ago
01:05:39it's just added further fuel
01:05:41to the fire

01:06:06humiliated a couple of weeks
01:06:08ago Joe Test
01:06:09there's no denying that
01:06:10and Becky Lynch
01:06:11just isn't used to
01:06:12being humiliated
01:06:13like that
01:06:14by someone who was
01:06:15perceived
01:06:16to be on the bottom

01:06:19in the locker room
01:06:20on Raw

01:06:30for Becky Lynch
01:06:32that's exactly the predicament
01:06:34and opportunity
01:06:35she gets here
01:06:36make a fool

01:06:50Becky Lynch
01:06:55is not giving her
01:06:56an inch
01:06:56you could see
01:07:00there was a
01:07:00lackadaisical approach
01:07:02from Lynch
01:07:02in that first match
01:07:03two weeks ago
01:07:04this time
01:07:05very different story

01:07:22of her own medicine

01:07:25sliding out
01:07:26onto the floor
01:07:27then right back in

01:07:31and delivers
01:07:32a big strike
01:07:33as well
01:07:34I'll be honest with you
01:07:35to be fair
01:07:35to Becky Lynch
01:07:36had this referee
01:07:37speeding up the count
01:07:38like you did
01:07:39two weeks ago
01:07:39Dupree would have
01:07:40been counted out there
01:07:42there was a lot
01:07:43of frustration
01:07:43from the referee
01:07:45with some of the stuff
01:07:46that Becky Lynch
01:07:46was putting forth
01:07:47as well

01:08:19on the outside
01:08:20against Maxine Dupree
01:08:21wait I want to ask you this
01:08:22because you'll often hear
01:08:23in combat sports
01:08:24a title challenge
01:08:25you'll say
01:08:26it's not always
01:08:26a home ring

01:08:29and for Maxine Dupree
01:08:30being back in Sacramento

01:08:44at age 17
01:08:44as a dancer
01:08:45during an NBA halftime
01:08:46it comes with
01:08:47unique pressures
01:08:48Wade
01:08:49yeah I don't think
01:08:50I ever won a match
01:08:51in the UK
01:08:51when I was back there
01:08:52I think the
01:08:53paying audience of Brits
01:08:55I consistently disappointed
01:08:56oh how about this
01:08:57could it be
01:08:58but you're right
01:08:59there are unique pressures
01:09:00to doing that
01:09:01even more so
01:09:02for a manhandle slam
01:09:04there but denied
01:09:05once again by Dupree
01:09:06even more so
01:09:07when you know
01:09:08the fact that you

01:09:10two weeks ago
01:09:10who really didn't
01:09:11get out of first gear
01:09:12Becky Lynch
01:09:13because she didn't think
01:09:14she had to
01:09:15now she knows
01:09:16she has to
01:09:17now she knows
01:09:17she has to put in
01:09:18a shift
01:09:19against Maxine Dupree
01:09:20because if she doesn't
01:09:22the same could be
01:09:23in store for Lynch
01:09:25Dupree has given
01:09:26herself a moment
01:09:27of opportunity here
01:09:28and now
01:09:30she's mounting
01:09:31a rally
01:09:32against Becky Lynch
01:09:34is this the best
01:09:36of Maxine Dupree
01:09:37we've seen

01:09:57matched
01:09:57by an expanding
01:09:59skill set
01:10:00but even that
01:10:00might not be enough
01:10:01against someone
