FunTranscript
00:00:00We're here in Anaheim California where the
00:00:29countdown is on. In just five days, the World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line and yet right here, right now, these fans at the Honda Center, they know there are twists, turns, and title come up to deal with. Charlotte and Alexa, the Twisted Queens are here. Blair and Bliss, the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. They look to defend against Bayley and Libra Valkyria tonight.
00:00:56And, no fear, not here. The Dynamic Kenta has a target on the IC title. He meets up with the big Bulgarian Rusev to decide who gets another shot at Dirty Dom. That's coming up in moments.
00:01:10As this is the kind of car that brings a sellout here. A massive crowd at the Honda Center has arrived for Raw.
00:01:21All right, we draw closer. Saturday night's main event, a week removed from so much more Monday Madness. This is what went down then.
00:01:36World Heavyweight Championship. We found out the news earlier tonight. Seth Rollins out injured, needed surgery. So CM Punk has to have somebody to battle for the World Heavyweight Championship. The winner of this battle royal will be the man. Saturday night's main event.
00:01:56I am here to scout. They are underway here. They're not wasting time, huh? Look at the Judgment Day!
00:02:05The Usos are cooking together. Jimmy Uso just saving his brother Jay from elimination. They keep going that way. One of those two is gonna win this thing.
00:02:20Jimmy Uso. Jimmy Uso. Jimmy Uso helps him out again. That's big. That is huge. Big Jimmy Uso wrapped up over the top rope. His brother saved it twice!
00:02:43Big Jimmy Uso handed it twice! But watch out for Taji instincts!
00:02:51Big Jimmy Uso Auckland's finals! Well, watch out for Taji Dolf!
00:02:54Big Jimmy Uso is a great!
00:02:58Big Jimmy Uso victory!
00:03:00Big Jimmy Uso wins the number-one contenders battle royal, and he will face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship!
00:03:08Big Jimmy Uso. Lindsey Andrew M. milli, ninguna potions title.
00:03:13And here in Anaheim, California, dead center in the ring, there it is, the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:22Vacated after the injury to Seth Rollins, and now two men who know what it is like to hold it, so desperate to get it back.
00:03:42The World Heavyweight Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:04:12The World Heavyweight Championship.
00:04:42The World Heavyweight Championship.
00:04:44The World Heavyweight Championship.
00:04:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ...
00:04:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Main Eastern, She Uso.
00:05:16Man, if you could bottle that energy and sell it, you would be an overnight trillionaire.
00:05:28Oh, he's high in that price.
00:05:31There has been a different edge to Jay lately.
00:05:39Been six months since that magic night at Mania.
00:05:43But, Wade, he will fight for the World Heavyweight Championship again.
00:05:48Yes, indeed.
00:05:49After Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:05:55We don't like that situation and we are going to fix that stat.
00:06:00We've got two number one contenders.
00:06:03You're looking at one of them right now.
00:06:05The other being C and Pong.
00:06:08They go head to head.
00:06:09This Saturday at Saturday night's main event, the winner gets the gold.
00:06:15The winner becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.
00:06:19That is this Saturday, Saturday night's main event.
00:06:22It's an incredible weekend in Salt Lake City with SmackDown and Saturday night's main event.
00:06:27Tickets are available as well as the priority pass for the massive card Saturday night.
00:06:32Jey Uso looks ready for Saturday night's main event right here, right now.
00:06:40And so does this audience.
00:06:41royal rumble win put him in position for mania and now the battle royal a week ago has put him
00:07:05in position here for saturday night's main event just five days away
00:07:11oh
00:07:14oh
00:07:20oh
00:07:23oh
00:07:26oh
00:07:29oh
00:07:32Let's go get it right here!
00:07:48Let's go get it!
00:07:53This goes down!
00:08:02What do you say, Joe? We run this back?
00:08:12When you sell all 13,812 seats, you do just that, Wade!
00:08:20These folks are just clean for you!
00:08:26This is what you say!
00:08:29That's what you say!
00:08:32Let's go get it right here!
00:08:37Let's get it right here!
00:08:40Let's go!
00:08:42I don't get it.
00:08:45I don't get it.
00:08:47I don't get it.
00:08:49I don't get it.
00:08:51It's all me down, dude.
00:08:53What's on me?
00:08:54Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:08:56We're throwing them down.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Yeah.
00:09:12I said, welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:09:32I got a lot of people in my ear these days, Uzz.
00:09:45I got Roman in my ear.
00:09:48I got Jimmy in my ear.
00:09:52Everybody mama in my ear.
00:09:56But I'm going to tell you all this right now, Uzz.
00:09:59Right now, I don't give a damn what they think about me.
00:10:09Yeah, because it's just me, Uzz.
00:10:12It's just me for the number one contender.
00:10:14It's just me Saturday night.
00:10:17And it's just me going to be the new world heavyweight champion two times.
00:10:23Hey, y'all know the Lingo.
00:10:25Four letters, one word.
00:10:29Oh, yeah.
00:10:38I love you.
00:10:43Look in my eyes.
00:10:48How do you see?
00:10:51You're the person that I see.
00:10:54Of course, it was CM Punk who earned number one status himself
00:11:22with a triple threat win over Jey Uso and LA Knights.
00:11:29Always controversial, always captivating,
00:11:34and perhaps this coming Saturday,
00:11:37we will be calling CM Punk World Heavyweight Champion
00:11:42if he can defeat main event Jey Uso at Saturday night's main event.
00:11:49Punk's birthday yesterday, but that's the only present he wants.
00:11:52And it won't be gifted.
00:11:54He's going to have to earn it on Saturday against Jey.
00:11:59For five minutes, he had it this summer.
00:12:01I want to play, I want to play, I'm the smiling face of your TV.
00:12:13I want to play, I want to play, I want to play.
00:12:19I want to play, I want to play, I want to play, I want to play.
00:12:29I want to play, I want to play, I want to play, I want to play.
00:13:03Oh, McJey Uso appreciates mine.
00:13:06Oh, McJey Uso appreciates mine.
00:13:09Games begin already.
00:13:10All right, all right, all right.
00:13:13I apologize for stealing your stuff.
00:13:20Four letters.
00:13:23One word.
00:13:29Punk.
00:13:33I'm going to do my best not to get in your personal space tonight because Saturday, that's all you're going to get is me in your grill.
00:13:42But before we get to Saturday, let's talk about tonight right now.
00:13:47I'm happy for you.
00:13:49You're finally listening to you.
00:13:52You're not listening to all the noise, Jimmy, Roman.
00:13:56And there's no secret, there's no secret, Anaheim, that me and Jay are friends, which makes it harder for me to lace them up against you.
00:14:08I always try to put myself in my opponent's shoes, but I've never been in your situation because I've always listened to myself.
00:14:18I follow my heart, I listen to my gut, and I believe in myself, which is easy to do when you're winning.
00:14:26It's a lot harder to do when you're losing or when you're about to lose.
00:14:38I had a lot of questions coming out here, and your body language answers a lot of them for me.
00:14:45Your actions last week answer a lot of questions for me.
00:14:48I know you got what it takes.
00:14:52I watched you throw your brother over the top rope.
00:15:01Congratulations on winning the Battle Royal, by the way.
00:15:04And ladies and gentlemen, I don't mean to admonish you, but you don't boo that.
00:15:08It's well within the rules.
00:15:09It's every man for himself.
00:15:11Jay's just showing everybody, including me, that he's got what it takes.
00:15:18And if you're listening to you, you're not listening to anybody else.
00:15:28I'm talking to you, Jay.
00:15:31You got what it takes.
00:15:33But how far are you willing to go?
00:15:39I'm not asking Big Jim's brother.
00:15:42I'm certainly not asking Little Roman.
00:15:44I'm asking main event Jey Uso.
00:15:52How far are you willing to go?
00:15:58Because you're not the only one who needs to be champion again.
00:16:02The small amount of time I held on to that title at SummerSlam after besting Gunther was way too short.
00:16:11I need to be champion like I need air in my lungs.
00:16:22And I know how far I'm willing to go.
00:16:25But Saturday night, Saturday night's main event, Jey Uso versus CM Punk, when you're face down on the mat after I've knocked out your grill and you look up and realize that you're in a situation you can't yeet yourself out of.
00:16:43Look at me, how far are you willing to go?
00:16:49Look at me, how far are you willing to go?
00:16:49Look at me, how far are you willing to go?
00:16:49Let's go, Punk.
00:17:14Let's go.
00:17:17I've been in deep waters before.
00:17:21I know how to swim, but you're going to do what you always do.
00:17:26You're going to spin the block, have these people thinking you're the man to get behind,
00:17:30right?
00:17:32That's what you do.
00:17:34As soon as I do something right for me, he's going to paint the picture like I'm the bad
00:17:38guy.
00:17:41I know.
00:17:41I know.
00:17:42And guess what?
00:17:43Screw you, Punk.
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:47Because Saturday night, I'll show you who the best in the world is.
00:17:51Four letters.
00:17:52One word.
00:17:54One word.
00:17:55Well, it is set.
00:18:01And we are just five days away.
00:18:04Saturday night's main event.
00:18:06As CM Punk asked the question, how far are you willing to go?
00:18:13And Wade, I don't think there is any doubt that Jey Uso answered it with great clarity, with
00:18:23the intensity of just turning to him and simply saying, let's go, Punk.
00:18:30Let's go.
00:18:31No limits whatsoever on the rage inside Jey Uso and his desire to reclaim gold.
00:18:39But the same, of course, could be said for CM Punk.
00:18:44Two men primed and ready for battle this Saturday at Saturday night's main event.
00:18:49Glad you're with us here from Anaheim.
00:18:52Sold out 13,812.
00:18:54You just get the sense when you grasp gold the way these two have, you're more desperate
00:18:59to regain it.
00:19:00Now, as for our newest champions, we had a thriller of a tag team classic last week.
00:19:05Well, let's take you back to last week.
00:19:08What a matchup it was.
00:19:10This was war tag gold on the line as Judgment Day defended against Dragon League.
00:19:14And AJ Styles, a massively entertaining back and forth affair.
00:19:19But it was the veteran AJ Styles who connected first with a phenomenal forearm.
00:19:26And then followed that up with a Styles clash as we crowned ourselves new world tag team champions
00:19:34up the road from here in Sacramento, California.
00:19:39Congrats to our new tag champs.
00:19:43I know.
00:19:45You should think she is.
00:19:46You're not a geek shit.
00:19:47Guys, guys, we got a problem.
00:19:50We know.
00:19:52We were just talking about Nikki Bella.
00:19:53No, no, no, no, I'm not talking about that.
00:19:56I'm talking about a real problem.
00:19:58Adam Pearce has some sort of vendetta against me.
00:20:00And now, Rusev and Penta have a number one contenders match.
00:20:04Well, maybe if you weren't such an habitual cheater, I'd have a different outcome.
00:20:11Um, that's heinous because I've never cheated a day in my life.
00:20:17Anyways, now I have to face the winner at Saturday night's main event.
00:20:20So, what are we going to do, guys?
00:20:22What are we going to do?
00:20:24Are you serious?
00:20:25I can't...
00:20:26Calm down.
00:20:27Dom?
00:20:28Me and Finn have our plate full tonight, getting back to tie team titles.
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:32You know the ones that you cost us?
00:20:34So tonight, mate, you're on your own.
00:20:37Let's go.
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:48I need your help.
00:20:49Are you ready?
00:20:50I don't know.
00:20:51I think we need your help.
00:20:52Maybe I should go talk to them.
00:20:53No.
00:20:53Let them handle theirs, and we will focus on ours.
00:20:56Thanks.
00:20:58Thanks.
00:20:59Thanks.
00:20:59Thanks.
00:20:59Thanks.
00:21:00Thanks.
00:21:00Thanks.
00:21:01And what they need to focus on is this Hall of Famer.
00:21:04Nikki Bella has arrived.
00:21:07She went to helping hand a week ago to fight off Judgment Day.
00:21:10Now Nikki Bella has to bring everything she has against the Prodigy.
00:21:14Bella will be opposite Roxanne Perez.
00:21:16Set them up at Mount Mosklen.
00:21:22Right.
00:21:22Timeinnen games.
00:21:24Timeinnen games.
00:21:31laxisier!
00:21:32Andrea!
00:21:34Go!
00:21:34Go!
00:21:35Go!
00:21:36Go!
00:21:38Go!
00:21:44Go!
00:21:44Go!
00:21:44Go!
00:21:45The following is an Intercontinental Championship number one contender's match.
00:21:54Introducing first from E-Cocotec, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos, PENTA!
00:22:06I mean, how good is that?
00:22:09You want to define a fan favorite?
00:22:12PENTA against the fiercely determined Rusev.
00:22:14Intercontinental Championship number one contender's match next.
00:22:18Now, no matter where in the world we go, they just love this Luchador.
00:22:22Now, no matter where in the world we go, they just love this Luchador.
00:22:32And I'll say this, Jotess, of course, Mexico is the home of Lucha Libre.
00:22:53But if Lucha Libre had a vacation home, I think it would be right here in California.
00:23:01Do you think they would have, like, a nice two-bedroom condo near the ocean just to get away from things?
00:23:06It would be right here.
00:23:08I think PENTA would get a giant mansion.
00:23:10I think so, too.
00:23:11I think so, too.
00:23:12I think so, too.
00:23:13I think so, too.
00:23:14I mean, sometimes it just takes weeks, months, or even years for a superstar to connect with an audience.
00:23:29This was a day-one guy.
00:23:31The second he debuted on Raw, instantly he became a massive crowd favorite.
00:23:38And there is no sign of that slowing down.
00:23:40Just imagine what's going to happen if PENTA acquires some gold in the form of an Intercontinental Championship.
00:23:48Gets the opportunity to put himself in pole position up next against Rusev.
00:23:55We thought that was going to happen two weeks ago.
00:23:57He had his chance.
00:23:58He got outmaneuvered by a cunning and dastardly Intercontinental Championship.
00:24:04Some of the adjectives that you use, some of the euphemisms and descriptives,
00:24:09instead of just giving the reality of the situation, as we just heard from Judgment Day themselves,
00:24:15habitual cheater.
00:24:16Habitual cheater.
00:24:17His own brethren saying that.
00:24:18That's just such a low-class way of saying it.
00:24:21Dom is a highly intelligent habitual cheater.
00:24:25Just adds a little layer of gloss.
00:24:45His opponent, from Bulgaria, weighing in for 270 pounds, Rusev!
00:25:15We're not far away from the famous pier.
00:25:30We're down here in Anaheim for what is a rocket Monday Night Raw here on Netflix.
00:25:36WWE Superfan and famed actor O'Shea Jackson is here among the sellout at the Honda Center.
00:25:51Thrilled to have him always.
00:25:53And wait, that is not Preston North End.
00:25:55That's a LA Galaxy in attendance, the MLS team.
00:25:59What do LA Galaxy impress the North End have in common?
00:26:02I can't wait to hear this.
00:26:03David Beckham played for them both, and they are both amazing teams.
00:26:07Welcome aboard LA Galaxy.
00:26:09Can't imagine how badly Rusev wants to get through Penta here and get his hands on Dirty Dom
00:26:14after yet another IC title match loss because of a Dirty Dom low blow.
00:26:19Yeah, this is last week on Raw.
00:26:22So Dirty Dom tried to take a walk during the title defense against Rusev.
00:26:25Penta showed up, but a stop to that before Rusev then took the upper hand in the match-up.
00:26:32Dirty Dom tried every dirty trick in the book.
00:26:35But finally with the refs back turned, one of those tricks worked a low blow
00:26:40before successfully connecting with that 619.
00:26:44The tadpole splash for the win.
00:26:47Now post-match, Penta made it quite clear that he still has designs on Dom's Intercontinental Championship
00:26:57taken out.
00:26:58Rusev in the process.
00:27:00And now we have a showdown to decide who is going to be the next number one contender for Dirty Dom.
00:27:06Alright, I think Rusev's ready. Look at him.
00:27:08Fired up, and that is a man I would not want to be in the ring with at the best of times.
00:27:13Good luck tonight, Penta.
00:27:15Oh, right at it. Trying to have a hot start here as Penta gets right to the chest of Rusev,
00:27:20who's just absorbing it and then looking to deliver some of his own.
00:27:23Tossing Penta into the corner before a kick is delivered.
00:27:26Well, power versus movement here. That is the battle right now.
00:27:31Movement is winning, but it's just bouncing off Rusev, who's a wall of a human being.
00:27:36He ever. Of course, these two met up back on September 8th.
00:27:40We saw Rusev actually defeat Penta.
00:27:43That was a spectacular evening when he hit that mid-air machka kick, and the big right hand is delivered.
00:27:49Delivered to perfection. Now both of these two men have interfered in one another's title opportunities at times.
00:27:55And they've come to blows on more than one occasion in recent weeks.
00:28:00So it's a good chance to put a rival in the rear view mirror so you can focus fully on Dirty Dom in the Intercontinental Championship.
00:28:08That is what Penta does best. It's spectacular fashion.
00:28:13You can see him reaching for his lower back himself. What height, what distance he was able to get.
00:28:18We always talk about it, the kind of high risk, high danger, but high impact offense completely wiping Rusev.
00:28:26Alba may have taken a choke out of the luchador in the process.
00:28:33Penta looking to springboard.
00:28:36And the DDT and lateral press for Penta.
00:28:40Rusev spiked right on the top of his head there.
00:28:43Thought he was out cold for a second.
00:28:45Trying to shake those cobwebs off.
00:28:47It takes a hell of a lot to get Rusev down in the first place.
00:28:50And keeping him down is a whole other battle.
00:28:53Trying to crawl his way to regain himself.
00:28:57You see him struggling to get up.
00:28:59Oh, here we go, John.
00:29:00Oh, could it be?
00:29:02And you can see the awareness by Rusev.
00:29:05The veteran looking for his third attempt to try to put himself in position for the IC title.
00:29:14Into the jaw there.
00:29:15Completely wiping out Penta.
00:29:17One shot.
00:29:18As he did a week ago.
00:29:21And that is the danger of a powerhouse brute like Rusev.
00:29:26It's just one punch for all the high flying ability of Penta.
00:29:31Just straight old fashioned smash mouth style of Rusev has swung the pendulum back in his favor.
00:29:38When you mention the style of Rusev.
00:29:40This is such an interesting mix of styles to see these two going at it.
00:29:45It's always interesting watching Rusev operate behind the scenes.
00:29:48The entire locker room seems petrified of this man.
00:29:53Including of course Dirty Dom who apparently wants nothing to do with Rusev.
00:29:57Was hoping he'd be in the rear view mirror.
00:29:59But a win here would put Rusev back.
00:30:02Or I should say would put Dirty Dom back in the crosshairs of Rusev immediately.
00:30:06Well it was just a week ago that he was up against Dirty.
00:30:09Oh man oh man.
00:30:11Penta quick to turn things around.
00:30:14Hooking the leg.
00:30:15Looking for the win.
00:30:16But the kick out at two.
00:30:17Once again it's that superior movement of Penta.
00:30:20Even when he's up against it.
00:30:21He's getting beaten from pillar to post.
00:30:23One backcracker.
00:30:24Out of nowhere.
00:30:25Again.
00:30:26Shifts the momentum in this one.
00:30:28Yeah!
00:30:29And now you can sense that Penta believes he has that momentum.
00:30:32Oh the baseball slide as he gets out of the way.
00:30:35And then.
00:30:36Oh just flop jacks him right into the steel steps.
00:30:40The impact on the steel steps.
00:30:44We just went Penta.
00:30:56Selt that he was in control.
00:30:58And Rusev sends him right over our announce desk.
00:31:03Well out of the way.
00:31:04The Bulgarian Brookies.
00:31:05Almost lost my legs on that one.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07And now he posts him.
00:31:08As hard as could be.
00:31:09Try to recover things here.
00:31:10What a mess Jotas.
00:31:11Courtesy of Rusev.
00:31:12Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:13Mometers smashed.
00:31:14As is the skull of Penta.
00:31:19Ever since he got out of the way of that baseball slide from that point forward.
00:31:20It has been a destructive stretch.
00:31:21Put forth by Rusev.
00:31:22Put forth by Rusev.
00:31:23Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:24Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:25Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:26Just a wrecking ball of a human being.
00:31:29Mometers smashed.
00:31:30As is the skull of Penta.
00:31:37A big kick right to the sternum from Rusev.
00:31:38Try and get a level of normalcy back.
00:31:40Good luck with that.
00:31:41Good luck with that.
00:31:42Yeah.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:44I'm struggling myself Jotas.
00:31:45You can see.
00:31:46From that point forward.
00:31:47It has been a destructive stretch.
00:31:48Put forth by Rusev.
00:31:49Oh God.
00:31:50Oh God.
00:31:51Oh God.
00:31:52Oh God.
00:31:53Oh God.
00:31:54Oh God.
00:31:56Oh God.
00:31:57Oh God.
00:31:59Oh God.
00:32:00Oh God.
00:32:01Oh God.
00:32:02Oh God.
00:32:03Oh God.
00:32:04Oh God.
00:32:05Oh God.
00:32:06Oh God.
00:32:07Oh God.
00:32:08Oh God.
00:32:09Oh God.
00:32:10Penta is trying to get a little normalcy back in his thinking.
00:32:15And failing in the process gloating pin there from Rusev.
00:32:20And it was a late kick out from Penta.
00:32:22You do feel.
00:32:23But Rusev is inching incredibly close to victory here.
00:32:29Winner will get back in with Dirty Dom.
00:32:31to fight for the InterConsidential Championship.
00:32:34Yeah.
00:32:35Both men highly irate in recent weeks.
00:32:37in recent weeks that they feel they've been screwed out of their title opportunities on more
00:32:42than one occasion by dirty dom the duo blows and a timekeeper's hammer will have you think that way
00:32:50well just when you think you've got dirty dom figured out he comes up with a new trick
00:32:54constantly working constantly operating to get himself the upper hand in all matches and all
00:33:00scenarios even more so now that the judgment day are apparently not going to be backing him up
00:33:07big drop kick by the big man
00:33:09it has just turned into the rusev show over the past few minutes of this one
00:33:20number one contender
00:33:36number one contenders match to fight for the intercontinental championship as you see
00:33:54rusev trying to work on that mask of penta everything changed here when he flapjacked
00:34:00him onto the steel steps and now just securing penta in his grasp good old-fashioned bear hug
00:34:09there from rusev when penta was trying to pick up the pace build some momentum
00:34:14just cannot do that against someone as powerful as rusev
00:34:18penta able to get out of the way and deliver the kick
00:34:25the penta's ridden out a hell of a storm here the fact that he's capable of coming back with
00:34:30so the corner handstand kick right to the chest and into the cover
00:34:35both men surely exhausted and feeling the pain at this point
00:34:45we're getting driven by that desire for gold another opportunity at dirty dom awaits
00:34:52who can put this one away dirty dom who used underhanded tactics to recently defend his ic title
00:34:59against both of these men
00:35:01rusev suddenly getting his clock cleaned
00:35:07after a major period of dominance in this match
00:35:11he's turned around in a big way and did his second win now
00:35:15penta is looking to close this one out
00:35:17could he be lining it up again
00:35:20rusev was smart enough
00:35:22and now he's climbing up top
00:35:25as penta has him right next
00:35:28oh he did it again
00:35:30he did it again this is how he beat him a month ago
00:35:33oh but this time penta able to kick out
00:35:36oh god match the kick to a flying jaw
00:35:40penta take a look at this
00:35:42what a bullseye by rusev
00:35:45precision timing
00:35:46and somehow incredibly
00:35:48penta lives on but he is living dangerously now
00:35:52and the ball is squarely in the court of the bulgarian
00:35:55how does penta survive a mid-air machka kick like that
00:36:00rusev wants to put it away and end it right here
00:36:03well this is spine snapping time for rusev
00:36:07the accolade applied but not escaping
00:36:10penta escapes the accolade opportunity
00:36:14look at all
00:36:15the driver
00:36:16penta driver
00:36:18well both men have now taken one another's best shots
00:36:26and kept on ticking
00:36:28wow
00:36:29a mid-air machka kick doesn't end it
00:36:33a penta driver doesn't end it
00:36:35you can see how badly they want this
00:36:39number one contenders match
00:36:41for the intercontinental championship
00:36:44we're sold out anaheim audience
00:36:46very unhappy with the referee
00:36:48i thought he got it spot on
00:36:492.99 is not enough in this game

00:36:56they are acting like the tough veteran fighters they are

00:37:32which is absolute genius
00:37:34we heard dirty dom say earlier
00:37:37we've got a problem
00:37:39i guess this is how he solves the problem
00:37:43right in the midst of what was a thrilling match
00:37:49the americanos arrived
00:37:52well this has just turned into a muggy
00:37:56two superstars penta and rusev

00:39:16i'm back
00:39:19i'm back with l.a night
00:39:21l.a last week you had a huge opportunity to become the number one contender to that world heavyweight championship in a battle royal
00:39:28unfortunately you came up short so where do you go from here what's next
00:39:33you know
00:39:35you know
00:39:35sometimes
00:39:37you almost feel like maybe you lose a little bit of the drive to keep pushing you know what i mean and when you're here cutting deep right now talking about i fell short i appreciate that because you're right i did fall short i didn't come out with what i needed but i tell you what i did come out with let me talk to you
00:39:54here i stand and i'm looking at not being the world heavyweight championship do you see that thing around my waist right now no you don't but what you do see is you see cm punk you see jay usso going on to saturday night's main event now a lot of people are like did jay usso mean to throw out his brother did he mean to throw out l.a night i don't care about any of that none of that matters the bottom line is he's going on to saturday night's main event
00:40:21i'm not so what do i do i can get rid of the sunglasses i can get rid of the vest i can do what i need to do because sometimes i just get a little bit used to doing the hard thing but the hard thing is to continue in the path i don't know how to quit i've never learned how to quit so whoever comes out of this i'm telling you now jay usso cm punk any single one of you whichever one of you comes out with that world heavyweight title i am telling you right now i will come back to jackie i will ask her the question
00:40:49do you see this world title around my waist you will have no choice but to say yeah why because you all with or without the title have to accept the isness of me i am what is with everybody saying
00:41:03yeah
00:41:05and remember still to come tonight bailey has convinced libra to muddy up the game and they'll go for gold
00:41:15as for the wwe women's tag team champions defending charlotte and alexa against bailey and lyra that's ahead
00:41:37ladies and gentlemen i'm joined by grayson waller and the new day's kofi kingston guys thank you for spending some time with me
00:41:43last week i spoke with you and it was just kofi kingston and grayson waller and again this week
00:41:48it's just kofi kingston and grayson waller but conspicuous by his absence is xavier woods
00:41:56would you mind sharing his location with us unfortunately brother woods is taking a mental
00:42:01health break and do you blame him byron imagine giving over 10 years of your life to tag team wrestling
00:42:07no time with family no time with friends giving everything to make tag team wrestling and what does he get in
00:42:12return these fans boo him the boys backstage are disrespectful and worst of all the guy who runs
00:42:20this all adam pierce disrespects him but he did leave me a message for all of you here tonight because he's
00:42:25a great guy tonight i decided my best interest to focus on my mental health and take tonight off from
00:42:32monday night raw i thought it would be a travesty to make my return in a traffic congested smog filled dump
00:42:38like anaheim in addition despite being hundreds of miles away i can still smell the diabetes in the
00:42:47arena quack quack quack quack everybody here should be angry everybody here should be pissed off because
00:42:56that bald-headed tyrant adam pierce has gifted the tag team titles to two random men in aj styles and
00:43:02dragon lee these two random men are not friends these two random men can't even communicate with
00:43:08each other because they don't speak the same language see these two random men are just they're awful
00:43:16what you don't understand about these stop stop listen stop
00:43:21when the time is right myself y'all don't know anything y'all are collectively known
00:43:30worldwide as the ass cheeks of california y'all know that come on
00:43:36when the time is right xavier woods and myself will demand our tag team championship rematch and when
00:43:43we do we'll go on to become the new tag team champions and you will all finally have champions
00:43:49i've got guys i apologize we're out of time i do have to send things back
00:43:54to ringside good luck on your championship efforts thank you so wait back to you guys
00:44:13and what a spectacular weekend that's coming up friday night smackdown
00:44:17and saturday night's main event are coming to the delta center in salt lake city it's this friday
00:44:22october 31st and saturday november 1st tickets are on sale now via seat gear
00:44:35i understand what you're saying why we weren't in the battle royal last week and i trust you
00:44:40but i still think we should have been in it it's the fastest way to the world heavyweight championship
00:44:46we should have gone down to the ring destroyed every man in that in the match i don't see any other
00:44:53way so please i mean i love your idea i i really do but there's a consequence to it because it would
00:45:03have exacerbated and already pissed off adam pierce who could have suspended all three of us indefinitely
00:45:07without pay and made it his life's mission to keep you away from the world heavyweight title
00:45:14but instead of using that great idea of yours on 20 men let's just use it on one man
00:45:23because one man shares our vision right now he's looking at saturday night cm punk and jay
00:45:29usho are going to beat each other half to death one of them emerges as the world heavyweight champion
00:45:34that world heavyweight champion okay shows us next monday on raw a victim looking to be victimized
00:45:41by a true victimizer now you eliminate that one man tonight that shares our vision
00:45:50and your path to the world heavyweight championship is clear
00:45:56i want you to go to pierce and i want you to get me a match with that man tonight well i've already
00:46:08gone to pierce and you already have a match with that man tonight and if you don't mind getting on your
00:46:14gear that match is coming up very soon
00:46:20who's it against oh that's the best part l a
00:46:33yeah
00:46:34oh that's so good l a night broad breaker and so is this i love that that piece of gold is so
00:46:43close to us tonight we're five days away from that being decided between j and cm punk joe and wade with
00:46:51you here but that look at brown breaker's eyes when he buys into a paul heyman playing it's scary we're
00:46:57seeing the rise of a foot soldier who has decided he wants to grab power and become the king here
00:47:03on raw he wants a piece of that dope world heavyweight championship whoever wins it at saturday night's
00:47:09main event brawn breaker is going to be a problem wait ten years ago this week the women's division
00:47:15added a superstar who would go on to make history it was the main roster debut for oscar we give you a
00:47:22look back now at the decade for the empress of tomorrow
00:47:52the end of the year
00:48:04Let's go.
00:48:34Let's go.
00:49:04Yes, I want to make it all official as of right now.
00:49:18Hello, Mr. Pearce.
00:49:19Knock, knock.
00:49:19Let me call you back, thank you.
00:49:20Nice to see you, mate.
00:49:21Glad you guys are here, where is Dom?
00:49:23Dom?
00:49:23I don't hear about Dom.
00:49:24Why?
00:49:25I have some news that he needs to hear from me, but since he's not here and you are, what
00:49:29can I do for you?
00:49:30What can you do for us?
00:49:31You can give us our tag team title rematch tonight.
00:49:33Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:49:34What, what, what, what JD means is we would like to know when we should expect our tag team
00:49:39rematch against AJ and Dragon.
00:49:41And we were hoping it would be tonight.
00:49:45Tonight?
00:49:45You guys, you guys are already busy tonight.
00:49:48No, we're not.
00:49:49Hey, you are.
00:49:49You don't remember the Battle Royale last week?
00:49:51Not especially.
00:49:51Of course you don't remember.
00:49:52You got eliminated.
00:49:53Instead of leaving, you jumped back in there and the two of you eliminated somebody else
00:49:57illegally.
00:49:58That person came to me this morning really pissed off.
00:50:01Demanded a match against either one of you.
00:50:02So you two have a choice.
00:50:04Because tonight, one of you is going to go one-on-one with Sheamus.
00:50:11Good.
00:50:12I'll fight Sheamus.
00:50:14And when I rip his head off, I'm coming back here.
00:50:17Okay.
00:50:19Hey.
00:50:21And when he's done, uh-huh, don't forget.
00:50:23Tag Team Titles.
00:50:26Oh, I won't forget.
00:50:53The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:51:07And introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella.
00:51:22Nikki's right in the middle of things with Judgment Day.
00:51:26Nikki Bella against Roxanne Perez is next.
00:51:29Oh, Wade, it was a week ago that Nikki Bella gave the current women's champion Stephanie Bacare
00:51:45some wise advice.
00:51:46She also saved her from more punishment.
00:51:50Yeah, and wise advice is a great way of putting it, Joe Tess.
00:51:54And if I was to give some wise advice to anybody, I'd say, don't stick your nose in other people's
00:52:01business.
00:52:01Oh, boy.
00:52:02Because by saving Stephanie Bacare last week, you've essentially flipped the roles with her
00:52:08this week.
00:52:09And you are the one who has to battle with the Judgment Day.
00:52:13You don't feel she did the right thing?
00:52:15The right thing by who?
00:52:17By Stephanie Bacare?
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:18The right thing by herself?
00:52:20Maybe not.
00:52:22Look, put it this way.
00:52:23If a tag team came out here, I don't know, say Finn Balor and JD McDonough and came to
00:52:28attack you.
00:52:29Yes.
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:30Would I get involved to save Joe Tess?
00:52:32A hundred percent.
00:52:32Hell no.
00:52:33Oh, boy.
00:52:34I'd say Joe Tess.
00:52:34I have to redefine the way I look at our relationship now.
00:52:38Here's the deal.
00:52:39I don't want Judgment Day coming after me.
00:52:41It's that simple.
00:52:42So I have to be smart and self-preservation is an admirable trait, in my opinion.
00:52:47And I would choose to preserve myself over someone like Joe Tess.
00:52:52And I feel that Nikki Valor would do well to heed that kind of advice.
00:52:57Incredibly noble, but also rather reckless, in my estimation.
00:53:12And your opponent, accompanied by Raquel Rodriguez, from Laredo, Texas, representing the
00:53:33the Judgment Day, Roxanne Rodriguez.
00:53:47Long-tabbed as a rising star, and now one of the most active stars, and just that level
00:54:00of confidence that she carries with herself, and that fearlessness and determination of
00:54:07Roxanne Perez.
00:54:08And then carries herself like a Hall of Fame veteran.
00:54:14That much confidence, and that much ability.
00:54:18But of course, it is the woman opposite her tonight, who is the veteran with the Hall of
00:54:23Fame credentials, Nikki Bella.
00:54:24Such great history here at the Honda Center.
00:54:41WrestleMania 12 was here.
00:54:42Shawn Michaels able to win the WWE Championship.
00:54:46Triple H retained here at WrestleMania 2000.
00:54:49And now tonight, sold out for Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:54:54And the stars are in attendance.
00:54:57Cristela Alonzo, she has that amazing special, Upper Classy, streaming now on Netflix.
00:55:03Great comedian.
00:55:12Roxanne Perez, Wade, will step to anyone.
00:55:15Will never say no to a match, especially one like this.
00:55:18Here's how we got it.
00:55:19Last week on Raw, it was Stephanie Vakur taking on Roxanne Perez.
00:55:23Vakur showing the world exactly why she is the champ.
00:55:27Getting the win with an angel wings.
00:55:31Nice victory there for Vakur.
00:55:33But as the post-match celebrations began, they were swiftly ended by a Judgment Day beatdown.
00:55:40And that was until Vakur's locker room friend, the Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, even the odds.
00:55:47And together, Vakur and Nikki cleared out the miscreants and earned themselves a temporary reprieve from the danger, at least until tonight.
00:55:59And I can tell you right now, Big Mammy Cool on the outside is rather irate, but it is in fact Roxanne Perez who gets the first shot at Nikki Bella here.
00:56:07So here we go.
00:56:09The Hall of Famer, of course, Nikki was inducted into that class of 2020 against Roxanne Perez.
00:56:15Classic Generations.
00:56:17This is the Roxanne Perez who grew up idolizing Nikki Bella.
00:56:22Talked a little smack online.
00:56:25I don't know about that.
00:56:28Extending a hand.
00:56:30I mean, versus what she's been seeing on social media.
00:56:33Nikki Bella was not born yesterday.
00:56:35She certainly was not going to fall for that one.
00:56:39And now Bella trying to quickly get to the attack.
00:56:42But out into the apron before driving that shoulder in.
00:56:46That one quick to it.
00:56:49Nikki Bella knows a trick or two.
00:56:5120 plus years in this industry.
00:56:54As great as Roxanne Perez is, she is lacking experience at the very top level.
00:57:00And that is something the two-time world champ Nikki Bella has in spades.
00:57:09But I do admire the attitude of Roxanne Perez.
00:57:13Absolutely fearless to steal a line from her former idol Nikki Bella.
00:57:19When it comes to competing against these top stars in the division.
00:57:23Oh, quick to counter is Perez after Beville was trying to lock up that left arm.
00:57:32Nikki Bella just carries that aura of major star power.
00:57:36There's a major crossover star in the World of Light Entertainment too.
00:57:40Now back to doing what she loves best.
00:57:43There's a hard land on the back of the neck there.
00:57:45And now going to town on that neck is Roxanne Perez.
00:57:49Windmill right hands delivered by Perez.
00:57:53Of course, Perez knows everything about Nikki Bella.
00:57:57Used to study her on Total Divas back in the day when she was a young girl.
00:58:01Grew up, perhaps one day, wanted a tag with Nikki Bella.
00:58:04Hasn't quite worked out that way now.
00:58:06Major rivals.
00:58:08Of course, Nikki Bella, two-time Divas champion.
00:58:10Had the longest title reign in history.
00:58:12Over 300 days.
00:58:13But you mentioned the generational gap.
00:58:15How that can play with a young superstar when you're in there against a legend that you looked up to.
00:58:21Nikki Bella has just had answers for everything that Roxanne Perez is trying to throw at thus far.
00:58:26The pace being set early on by Nikki Bella.
00:58:30Nikki Bella simply looked razor sharp this evening.
00:58:32And unsurprisingly heading to the outside.
00:58:34And the safe embrace of Big Manny Cool.
00:58:38Sets it right to the barrier as Raquel Rodriguez steps off to the side.
00:58:48And Nikki Bella's in control here against Perez.
00:58:50It's just been the Nikki Bella show from the word go.
00:58:53And Roxanne Perez may have overestimated her abilities this evening.
00:58:58Came in incredibly cocky and confident.
00:59:01And you see that dissipating as the seconds tick by.
00:59:04Slamming and ran into that second turnbuckle and then bringing her up top as well.
00:59:09Major power advantage almost everyone has against Roxanne Perez.
00:59:13Gave into play there.
00:59:16That speed and nimble ability.
00:59:18Oh, Raquel Rodriguez as Roxanne was grabbing the attention of our referee.
00:59:26It's Raquel Rodriguez getting the best of Nikki Bella.
00:59:30Straight from the Judgment Day playbook.
00:59:34Waiting until the prime moments are capitalized.
00:59:37Oh, slingshotting her right into that second rope.
00:59:41And how quickly things turn when you deal with Judgment Day.
00:59:48Wait, you are appreciating the early work of Nikki Bella.
00:59:56And then in one instance where the referee has to turn her attention,
01:00:02Raquel Rodriguez involves herself.
01:00:04Well, it harkens back to what I was saying earlier, Joe,
01:00:07when it comes to putting yourself in the jaws of danger unnecessarily.
01:00:12You've essentially switched places with Stephanie McCurr this week by saving her last week,
01:00:18sticking your nose in someone else's business.
01:00:21Now, guess what?
01:00:22It's two on one against you.
01:00:25And of course, inevitably, at some point, Raquel was going to involve herself in this match.
01:00:30And that's exactly what happened.
01:00:32And wasn't Raquel castigating Dirty Dom a little earlier?
01:00:39Yes, she was.
01:00:40He is routinely cheating.
01:00:42Because he does.
01:00:45And running uppercut.
01:00:48I think it's part of the rules.
01:00:49If you're going to be allowed in the clubhouse for the Judgment Day,
01:00:52you have to have cheated at some point in the last week.
01:00:55Here's Perez into the cover.
01:00:56And Nikki Bella able to survive it.
01:01:00Nikki Bella living dangerously now.
01:01:02Once Roxanne Perez gets the upper hand,
01:01:05history has told us she rarely gives it up.
01:01:08And once again attacking the surgically repaired neck of Nikki Bella.
01:01:14And of course, Roxanne Perez, being a former fangirl of Nikki Bella,
01:01:18knows all about that surgery.
01:01:20Probably could tell you the exact date it happened,
01:01:23how long she was out for,
01:01:24and the fact that once upon a time,
01:01:26Nikki Bella retired due to that injury.
01:01:29And yet all the torque and pressure she's putting on her neck and head.
01:01:35It just shows you how Roxanne Perez has gone from that saccharine sweet little girl
01:01:40that you'll see on videos on social media.
01:01:43Coming to meet her idol, Nikki Bella, 10 plus years ago.
01:01:47So the kind of cutthroat competitor she is today
01:01:50that is surely destined for greatness in this industry.
01:01:53Driving down that elbow right to the back of the neck as well.
01:02:00Look at the smug look on Raquel Rodriguez as she continues to watch Roxanne Perez get to work on Nikki Bella.
01:02:08Raquel knows full well that
01:02:10full well that the reason Roxanne has the upper hand in this match
01:02:18is due to a major assist from her big tag partner on the outside, Raquel.
01:02:28And this has just become a procession for Roxanne Perez,
01:02:32who is finding it too easy ever since the beatdown of that neck of Nikki Bella began.
01:02:38Last week we saw the stunning return of Nikki Bella to help
01:02:55help save Stephanie Becker after Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez were attacking post-match.
01:03:04Now it's Nikki Bella in against Roxanne Perez as Perez has been getting the best of her
01:03:08and that running uppercut to the back and neck area.
01:03:13And now Perez, the double rope springboard moonsault.
01:03:19And the kick out at two as Raquel Rodriguez looks on Wade.
01:03:22Perez has done an incredible job of attacking that neck of Nikki Bella.
01:03:26It's a neck that's been surgically repaired in the past.
01:03:29And of course Perez, her fandom of Nikki Bella from the past knew exactly where the weakness is
01:03:35and is now relentlessly attacking that neck.
01:03:39And in various ways, as now you can see all the leverage she's able to get,
01:03:45twisting and torquing and utilizing her own left hand.
01:03:50As Bella's trying to fight out of it, she delivers those left elbows to Perez.
01:03:56Nikki Bella's got two fused vertebrae in that neck.
01:03:59But it's a wonder that Nikki Bella can even feel her fingertips at this point
01:04:04because these shots are just brutal.
01:04:07They are pinpoint targeted.
01:04:09And as you said, Joe, they are varied in nature,
01:04:12which shows you the growing playbook of Roxanne Perez.
01:04:19Crowd reacting to what they perceive as unnecessary arrogance.
01:04:25And now Bella just says, you know what?
01:04:28Let's fight.
01:04:30Slugging away through the pain now is Nikki Bella.
01:04:34Something the young pop Roxanne Perez needs to learn.
01:04:38You don't celebrate until you've got this one closed out
01:04:40and there is fight left in the Hall of Famer.
01:04:43Nikki Bella delivering right hand after right hand.
01:04:49Well, Bella now tapping into that other gear.
01:04:52If she ever weighed.
01:04:53This is the kind of gear that took Nikki Bella to the Hall of Fame,
01:04:58to several world championships,
01:05:01may well get her through this predicament when it was looking like all was lost.
01:05:06Roxanne Perez writhing in pain as Raquel Rodriguez looks to rally with support here as both of our competitors try to get to their feet deep into this match.
01:05:18You know, Bella's hurting in a big way, but completely impervious to that pain seemingly.
01:05:30Got that adrenaline pumping through her veins, pulled on by this capacity audience here in Anaheim.
01:05:38Excellent attack by Nikki Bella and delivering off the ropes.
01:05:43And a count of two.
01:05:48Nikki Bella is just looking back to her best now.
01:05:51Shaking off any ring rust that may have been there when she first returned.
01:05:55And boy, oh boy, does she need to be at her best this evening.
01:05:59Oh, could she?
01:06:02But instead, Roxanne Perez repositioning herself.
01:06:05Trying for that rack attack 2.0, but a nice transition, as you mentioned there, from Roxanne Perez.
01:06:11Looking to choke out the Hall of Famer.
01:06:14She got her into that fireman's carry.
01:06:16Just couldn't deliver the cutter at the end.
01:06:18Instead, it's Nikki Bella now.
01:06:21Again, that second rope driving down across her throat.
01:06:25Bella's body just not co-opped.
01:06:27Oh!
01:06:27Wow, big spine buster.
01:06:29Spine buster into the hook of the leg.
01:06:31And getting that left shoulder up is Perez.
01:06:34Once again, Raquel smells danger and wants to insert herself to the match.
01:06:39And with that distraction, could it be a quick one?
01:06:46Oh!
01:06:47Her foot was on the ropes!
01:06:49Foot was on the ropes there!
01:06:51Jessica Carr simply too quick for Perez.
01:06:54That went up.
01:06:54How about Nikki Bella turning things around?
01:06:57On the count of two and a half.
01:06:59There's one balanced on a knife edge.
01:07:01And it's Nikki Bella who now has the wind in her sails.
01:07:05And she wants it again.
01:07:09Rack attack 2.0 lined up.
01:07:12Perez fights herself free again with a series of elbows.
01:07:16Perez knows the danger of that move.
01:07:18Oh!
01:07:18Moving out of the way just in the nick of time.
01:07:20And face first.
01:07:22Into the buckle.
01:07:23Of course, with that damage there.
01:07:25Oh!
01:07:25Such awareness by Perez!
01:07:28Pop rocks from the corner!
01:07:30Here is your winner, Roxanne Perez!
01:07:39Well, what an effort from Nikki Bella.
01:07:42But it was basically the insertion of Raquel on the outside.
01:07:46Two times in this match.
01:07:48And, oh, here we go.
01:07:50It's like an action replay of the beatdown on the curve from last week.
01:07:54But Nikki Bella is, oh, now in the hot seat.
01:07:57Remember a week ago, it was Nikki Bella coming to help Stephanie McHair.
01:08:06And now the champ is here to return the favor.
01:08:15Raquel runs from nobody.
01:08:18Not even the world champ.
01:08:24Face to face.
01:08:25Cal Rodriguez is one intimidating woman.
01:08:46Stephanie McHair did not want to take a backward step out.
01:08:50Having Nikki Bella by her side.
01:08:51Well, we're going to keep a close eye on that situation in the coming weeks.
01:08:57Great to see Nikki Bella and Stephanie McHair and what they have developed with their friendship.
01:09:05And, Wade, remember, still to come tonight, the Women's Tag Team Championship match.
01:09:11It is all brought about because of this on social media from Bayley.
01:09:15Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
01:09:21Woo!
01:09:22The Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:09:24I mean, you guys have a little bit of a rocky friendship.
01:09:26I won't bring that up or anything.
01:09:28Because you are the Women's Tag Team Champions.
01:09:30And respect to you.
01:09:31Respect to you.
01:09:32But I think that you guys need a real challenge.
01:09:34I think that you guys need to put yourself to the limit and test your French, I mean, tag team against two of the best.
01:09:44Against me and my best tag team partner, Lyra Valkyrie.
01:09:50What do you say, huh?
01:09:51Monday Night Raw?
01:09:52Right.
01:09:53Sounds great.
01:09:54I'll see you idiots there.
01:09:55Lyra Valkyrie.
01:10:25Dude, what was that about?
01:10:30Hey, what do you think it was about?
01:10:32It was about this mess that you've gotten us into now.
01:10:34A mess?
01:10:35Yeah, forget about them.
01:10:37And surprise, I got you a matching tag team jacket in Tokyo.
01:10:41Anyways, tonight, are you excited?
01:10:43Yeah, I'm excited.
01:10:43Is this my surprise?
01:10:45Well, no, the tag team title match was your surprise.
01:10:47Dude, I have not been in the ring with Charlotte Flair or Alexa Bliss.
01:10:51This is a huge deal.
01:10:52I know, I know, but look, the tag team titles mean a lot to me, and I know you would like to rewrite some history.
01:10:58It's a big night, and I believe in us.
01:11:00We're in the main event, and I really think that we could do this.
01:11:03But now that you say that you haven't been in the ring with Charlotte or Alexa, what if we lose?
01:11:08You know what, baby?
01:11:17What if we win?
01:11:20Now you're talking!
01:11:21That's a freaking liar!
01:11:23Damn, we got it!
01:11:24Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!
01:11:26Dude!
01:11:30Oh, yeah!
01:11:31Oh, it's just you, huh?
01:11:33It's just you?
01:11:34You don't give a damn about what I think about us?
01:11:36Man, come on, bro.
01:11:38Yo, remind you, I saved your ass twice last week in that battle royale.
01:11:43Two times.
01:11:44As soon as I turned my back helping your ass, you threw me out.
01:11:49And I was trying to throw L.A. Knight over the top.
01:11:52Bro, I don't, I see the tape, bro.
01:11:54Don't give me all that, man.
01:11:55You see the opportunity, and guess what?
01:11:57You saved your own ass.
01:11:58You knew the play.
01:11:59We called it.
01:12:00And that battle royale is supposed to come down between me and you, then.
01:12:05Then it's every man for themselves.
01:12:07But you thought about yourself, just like you always do.
01:12:11You know what I think?
01:12:12I think that you thought, if it really did come between me and you,
01:12:18if you really believed in yourself,
01:12:21you won't be so scared to find out.
01:12:24Now Jimmy shooting straight with Jay.
01:12:34All right.
01:12:57All right.
01:13:01The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:13:10Introducing first accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer,
01:13:16The Oracle, Paul Heyman, and Big Bryson Reed.
01:13:23Representing the vision, Braun Breaker.
01:13:31Only 14 days ago when everything changed.
01:13:34When Braun Breaker heard Seth Rollins say, I never needed anybody.
01:13:38Now comes the next step in the vision's vision.
01:13:42Breaker against the isness of the business.
01:13:45L.A. Knight.
01:13:48Yeah!
01:14:01Ladies, gentlemen, these that live in California.
01:14:19My name is Paul Heyman.
01:14:34Let's understand the power that stands before you tonight.
01:14:42First of all, the OTT, the original tribal, Nick Brunson Reed.
01:14:56And tonight, a main event no matter where he is on the card, the future of WWE.
01:15:12The future of WrestleMania.
01:15:17The baddest dog on the planet.
01:15:22Ladies and gentlemen, Braun Breaker.
01:15:31Always an intimidating presence has made it quite clear on Raw in the past.
01:16:01Couple of weeks since usurping Seth Rollins and his vision.
01:16:06Braun Breaker wants power.
01:16:09You want power?
01:16:10You need gold.
01:16:12To get to gold, you gotta keep winning.
01:16:14On a major, major main event tier matchup coming up next against the megastar L.A. Knight.
01:16:22Hey, can you believe it's almost November?

01:17:05Braun Breaker, spelled with two Ks.
01:17:09He thinks one is for crazy with a K.
01:17:11And based on recent events, he has to be a little crazy to step into the ring with him.
01:17:30He has stated his goal as clear as could be.
01:18:01The World Heavyweight Championship.
01:18:03After Jay and Monk will settle things this coming weekend.
01:18:08The self-proclaimed is-ness of the business now, Wade.
01:18:13But what he is right now is in a spot that should come with a warning label.
01:18:16Because Braun Breaker with Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed by his side.
01:18:21There is danger in the air.
01:18:23Well, danger tends to be an attractor for L.A. Knight who takes a backward step.
01:18:30So, nobody on the roster.
01:18:32And of course, we're going to have ourselves a new World Heavyweight Champion crown this Saturday at Saturday Night's main event.
01:18:39Either Jey Uso or CM Punk.
01:18:42Now, this is not a number one contender's match.
01:18:47At least officially speaking.
01:18:49However, you have to think management are going to look at the winner of a match of this caliber.
01:18:54And think, yeah, maybe that guy is the next man up.
01:18:58And I will promise you this, Joe Test.
01:18:59Whoever loses this match will absolutely not be next in line for a championship shot.
01:19:05It's a great scene as they just size each other up.
01:19:15Two absolute mass monsters here on Raw.
01:19:19Both of whom can move at the speed of light.
01:19:22Although I will give the movement speed edge to Braun Breaker.
01:19:26Perhaps the fastest man I have ever seen.
01:19:29At least in the heavyweight category in my entire life.
01:19:32Of course, that is edged by the experience factor when it comes to the megastar L.A. Knight.
01:19:39Who has been in these high-level clashes several times in his career.
01:19:44And has such a wide range of offense.
01:19:48The assault can come in any direction with anything as he delivers the elbow there.
01:19:56Simply moved too quick for Braun Breaker on that one who is a little slow out of the blocks right now.
01:20:02But there is the power game of Breaker.
01:20:09And Knight comes right back at him with the clothesline.
01:20:13Simply a step ahead of Braun Breaker mentally speaking, if not physically speaking, in the early goings here.
01:20:19Of course, L.A. Knight has been a perennial main event player.
01:20:27Oh, look at that.
01:20:28That was just a blur.
01:20:29That was an absolute blur.
01:20:32That came with a vicious ending.
01:20:34Did the producer hit fast forward at some point there?
01:20:37It was like the tape skipped ahead, but I actually saw it with my own eyes.
01:20:41But how does he do that at over 250 pounds weight?
01:20:45I've never seen anyone in the history of this industry, in a flash, turn on the afterburners like Braun Breaker can.
01:20:52And, of course, it caught L.A. Knight completely unaware there's nothing you can do to prepare for that.
01:21:01And the worst part is you know it's coming.
01:21:03Oh, cross-body by Knight.
01:21:05Could he do it?
01:21:09Knight just still trying to shake off that sudden speed of Braun Breaker.
01:21:13Managing to dig himself out of trouble.
01:21:15But has not quite looked the same ever since.
01:21:19Absolute freak Braun Breaker really is.
01:21:21Honestly.
01:21:22And he keeps getting better.
01:21:23That's the scariest part.
01:21:28Ragdolling.
01:21:28Oh, how about this?
01:21:29Massive man like L.A. Knight.
01:21:32L.A. Knight was able to get out the back door and right back to the offensive attack is Braun Breaker.
01:21:37And you look at a 20-year veteran like L.A. Knight, and you think this guy has seen it all in his career.
01:21:42He's had these hungry, powerful, up-and-coming contenders.
01:21:46And then you get in the ring with a Braun Breaker.
01:21:49And if you're L.A. Knight, you suddenly realize this is all new to me.
01:21:52I'm the rookie in here.
01:21:53I've never faced anything like this.
01:21:56First Knight has been on the long run of top competition.
01:22:01Triple threat that CM Punk recently won.
01:22:04And then the Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship that Jey Uso won.
01:22:11He was eliminated by Jey Uso a week ago.
01:22:17It's interesting to hear the exchange between Jimmy and Jey Uso.
01:22:24A lot of ill-feeling and resentment there at the moment.
01:22:28Certainly on Jimmy's side, who does not see the point of view with Jey Uso.
01:22:31A dropkick right through the ropes by L.A. Knight.
01:22:44L.A. Knight has to deal, of course, with Big Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman off to the side as he is in control right now against Braun Breaker.
01:22:53Well, to be clear, Bronson Reed has done nothing wrong, but his mere presence alone is a threat.
01:23:00And there are now three pairs of eyes burning a hole into the megastar L.A. Knight when you include Paul Heyman.
01:23:07And that little pause for contemplation there by L.A. Knight opened a huge window.
01:23:12Oh, my! Gorilla Press on top of the table!
01:23:18Braun Breaker does not need a second invitation to launch a vicious attack on anyone.
01:23:24And now Breaker on top of our announced desk as L.A. Knight is in such a tough position here.
01:23:30Championship goal right in front of these two men.
01:23:38That's what they're aiming to climb to.
01:23:40That's what they both aspire to win in this game.
01:23:44Of course, Jey Uso or CM Punk will be winning that championship this Saturday at Saturday night's main event.
01:23:52What comes next for them after that may well be the winner of this match.
01:23:57I swear before you came on board, Joe Tate, this desk never got trashed as much as it does these days.
01:24:09Can you believe that?
01:24:09Every time.
01:24:10You are a magnet.
01:24:12It's just a giant target.
01:24:14Every single match.
