00:28The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:48Introducing the challenger, first from ecodemics, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos, PENTA!
01:02The man PENTA, looking for his first singles championship in WWE.
01:09Remember, this match was made a triple threat after Los Americanos,
01:14I believe at the request of nerding Dominik Mysterio, got involved in the PENTA RUCEF number one contenders match,
01:22and Dominik finds himself now in a triple threat because of that.
01:25Yeah, that backfired in a big way when both competitors were named number one contender,
01:31and it just makes tonight's task so much more difficult for the champ.
01:36It's one thing pulling the wall over one competitor's eyes, but to pull it over two competitor's eyes simultaneously,
01:43very, very difficult.
01:45First time ever.
01:49That the spectacular PENTA has been a part of this Saturday night's main event.
01:55I'll tell you right now, some superstars just look good with gold,
02:00and how good would that PENTA strut look clap in the Intercontinental Championship?
02:06Tonight, tonight could be the night. We just saw the WWE Women's title change, James.
02:12Joe Test told me he does the PENTA strut in the mirror at home. Do you do that at home, Michael?
02:18No, but I have no doubt that Test does that. Does he have his toupee on while he's doing it?
02:24PENTA doesn't wear a toupee. He wears a PENTA mask like any good fan of PENTA.
02:30I heard he went his PENTA for Halloween.
02:32I'm gonna see some pictures on that. You should try the strut. I don't think you have the rhythm for it, though.
02:38No chance. Or the synchronicity.
03:08No chance.
03:18Introducing next, from Bulgaria, weighing in at 270 pounds, Rusev!
03:28Rusev is done with the games. He's sick and tired of the shenanigans of Dirty Dominic Mysterio,
03:36and tonight, with no disqualifications and no countouts,
03:40Rusev plans to destroy Dirty Dom and PENTA in the process.
03:46Well, 50% of the WWE locker room admit that they are terrified of Rusev,
03:53but I would argue that the other 50% of the WWE locker room are liars.
03:59Stay away from this highly dangerous Bulgaria.
04:04Yeah, Rusev looking to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career.
04:10He's a three-time United States Champion. You know Rusev extremely well.
04:14Been an enemy and a friend of this man.
04:16Yeah, in more recent years we're more on the enemy side. I do avoid Rusev like the plague these days,
04:23and I would advise anyone else to do the same, and Rusev has just been on a tear of late,
04:28and is simply not computing in the mind of the big European that he cannot defeat Dom.
04:35He got outmaneuvered on two separate occasions.
04:38Well, tonight in Rusev's mind, I promise you, that's gonna change.
04:42And representing Good Judgment Day from San Diego, California,
04:48weighing in at 200 pounds, he is the Mega Triple-A and Rusev.
04:55And representing Good Judgment Day from San Diego, California,
04:58weighing in at 200 pounds, he is the Mega Triple-A and Rusev.
05:03Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
05:25Dominic Mysterio, the first man to hold both of those championships.
05:30He won a fatal four-way back at WrestleMania in April to win the Intercontinental Championship.
05:36Tonight marks his 195th day as champion.
05:39Interesting stat I found out about Dirty Dom.
05:43Dominic has more title wins, more wins in title matches this year than anyone in the entire WWE.
05:52I was shocked when I saw that stat.
05:54Yeah, of course you are, because you're a lifetime hater of Dirty Dom Mysterio,
05:58but anyone who's paying attention appreciates that Dirty Dom can be a little crafty,
06:04a little underhanded, but behind all the shenanigans,
06:07there is a highly competent fighting machine who's ready to defend one of his two titles yet again tonight.
06:15All right, stat guru John Chick back in Stanford, Connecticut, telling me earlier today that this is the 16th time in Saturday night's main event history
06:24that the Intercontinental Championship has been on the line.
06:27However, Wade, only one time on this show as the Intercontinental title changes hands as Rusev goes after Mysterio.
06:35That was HBK, beating the British Bulldog.
06:38And meanwhile, Rusev and Penta, looking to take out Dominic Mysterio,
06:41first man to get pitfall or submission, wins the Intercontinental title.
06:45Well, both these two men have been left very unhappy by Dom's shenanigans in recently.
06:50So there we go.
06:51There's no alliances in this match.
06:53Get your frustrations out on Dirty Dom right off the bat, and then get down to business.
06:58Well, Rusev and Penta have had their problems with one another as well.
07:01And Rusev with a dropkick, the uber-athletic Rusev into the cover,
07:06and Mysterio saving his championship there.
07:08Well, Dom's effectively had three defenses against these two over the past month.
07:14Over the month of October, I should say.
07:17Yeah, it's November 1st, Wade.
07:19Very true.
07:20Fox go back.
07:21Fox go back.
07:22Oh, look at the power!
07:24One-armed by Rusev!
07:26Rusev rag-dolling Dominic.
07:28Dom trying that head scissors there simply didn't work against someone as strong and as fresh as Rusev,
07:35who's now highly motivated to snap the champion off.
07:38Does Rusev ever smile?
07:40He might smile if he wins goal, but I would argue it's been several years since I've seen him do so.
07:45Rusev just putting on an offensive clinic right now on the champion.
07:50Stripping off the clothes of the champion.
07:52Some of the women's eyes in this arena just lit up.
07:55Get him off, they're chanting.
07:57I think they're not chanting.
07:59Not at all.
08:00Oh, and a halfway slam by Rusev to Mysterio, and Rusev dominating thus far.
08:06Rusev not even breathing heavily.
08:09And here's the problem in a match like this.
08:11You get too focused on one competitor to take your eye off the third man, and you'll be caught by surprise.
08:17And I can see lurking in the background is Penta.
08:20Keep an eye on that man at all times.
08:22Dominic sends Rusev face first to the post.
08:25And now Penta gonna fly!
08:28Down goes Rusev.
08:30Steel to the forehead and then followed up with that dive from Penta.
08:34That's one way of slowing Rusev down.
08:36And now it's Dominic Mysterio who's gonna deliver a suicide dive to Penta.
08:40And that's a little message there from Dominic Mysterio.
08:43Any of that high-flying Lucha stuff you can do, I can do it too, pal.
08:48There's a reason they call me the best Luchador on planet Earth.
08:53That's Penta's stake in his clay, but he is the real goat of Lucha.
08:57Let me correct you there.
08:58He's the self-proclaimed king of the Luchadors.
09:01No one else calls him that except for Dom himself.
09:04I've heard Al Grande Americano also holds Dirty Dom in very high regard.
09:09There's undoubtedly the top two Luchas on the planet.
09:12I think you're looking at Penta, the top Lucha on the planet, but nonetheless.
09:16Well, I might change my opinion.
09:18Penta wins gold tonight.
09:20Dominic dropped in the corner.
09:22Penta now.
09:24There's vintage Penta delivering the kick right to the ribs of Dominic.
09:28The hype has been so real for Penta.
09:30Penta.
09:31Cover.
09:32Now it's Rusev gonna save the matchup.
09:34Remember, no count outs, no disqualifications.
09:37Nothing pretty when it comes to the offense that Rusev deals out, but always devastating.
09:43Rusev in tremendous shape, his in-ring stamina is awesome for the man his size.
09:50Freak athlete, he's got that powerhouse.
09:52Back off, kid, if you know what's good for you.
09:55Halloween came a day late for those two.
10:01And Rusev now sending Penta into the steps.
10:04Lower back first, that lumbar spine absorbing all that kick off.
10:07And look out, Dominic now caught by Rusev.
10:10Rusev with Dominic face first onto our table.
10:14Jaw of Dominic bouncing hard off the steel of that table.
10:18And Rusev is feeling it now.
10:22Nope.
10:23I don't think he's done either.
10:25A very nasty look at the announce table.
10:28Unless he was having flashback to League of Nations and looked at you.
10:32Now getting that vision of the Intercontinental.
10:34I'm coming for you.
10:35I'm coming for you.
10:36Championship that he desires so badly.
10:40And with Penta laid out after that shot into the steel steps.
10:44Now is the time to capitalize for Rusev.
10:47It's one on one.
10:49The prestigious Intercontinental title.
10:51Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held the championship over the years.
10:58Getting back to 1979.
11:00A late great Pat Patterson.
11:02And Rusev now.
11:03And again, he can do this all night, Wade.
11:05There's no disqualification.
11:06The official's just in there to call the 1-2-3 or the tap out.
11:10Smartly taking advantage of that fact is Rusev.
11:14Rusev really needs to stop dreaming about the Intercontinental Championship
11:19and make it a reality.
11:21Well, it could be just moments away.
11:23Because this is becoming a slaughter.
11:25He's starting to look imminent as he did as soon as you knew.
11:28Rusev was gonna be...
11:29Oh, nice.
11:30The check.
11:31Wow.
11:32Dropped toehold by Dirty Don.
11:33Gonna steal another one out of his father's playbook.
11:35Six with nine, but he got caught.
11:37Just too fresh is Rusev.
11:39Too strong is Rusev.
11:41Those great reactions from the big man.
11:44And Rusev.
11:45Oh, here we go.
11:46Here we go, Cole.
11:47Look at the lockout.
11:48Back to late in on Dirty Don.
11:50If Don taps out or gives up,
11:52and Penta from behind with a kick.
11:54Well, Penta certainly didn't want to get Dirty Don out of trouble there.
11:58However, if Don had tapped, it would be game over for Penta's chances.
12:03He knew Fullwell he had to break that one off.
12:05Now it's Penta with the upper hand, turning his attention to Rusev.
12:11Dirty Don completely lay down.
12:15Now it's Penta's chance to pick up the pace against him.
12:18Oh!
12:19Softened up opponent with a nice backcracker.
12:21One, two, three.
12:23Rusev kicks out at two.
12:24So close for Penta in his first championship here in WWE.
12:29Well, the scowl has left the face of Rusev.
12:31And now it's one of sheer agony seeping through.
12:34And Penta smells victory.
12:36It's a night of championships at Saturday night's main event live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
12:43Peppering Rusev with these super kicks.
12:46One after the other.
12:47Rusev's still stirring though.
12:49Just absorbing it.
12:50A body built to absorb abuse.
12:52Oh!
12:53Ran right into the hands of Rusev, who delivers a kick to the back of the neck.
12:58And now the power of Rusev.
13:00Down goes Penta.
13:01Cover to win the championship.
13:03Penta kicks out a near fall for Rusev.
13:06Rusev is just a wall of a human being.
13:10When you have that much size and that much aggression, it just cannot be matched.
13:17Take out that pace and movement of Penta.
13:20Get him grounded.
13:21And I don't know what kind of answers he will have for this kind of abuse.
13:25Well, Rusev just getting angrier and angrier the longer this match goes on.
13:30And that does not bode well for his two opponents.
13:37Yes!
13:38Do worry about the mindset of Rusev though.
13:41At times, coming unglued.
13:42I'm gonna let him.
13:43He won't get disqualified.
13:44May help him.
13:48Oh!
13:49Gotta keep his eyes on the prize.
13:50Don't let that rage overtake you.
13:52Remember the mission here.
13:53A one, two, three, or a tap out.
13:55That's all that's gonna get it done.
13:57Rusev looks like he's setting up Penta for a superplex and Penta fighting out of it.
14:08And Penta knocks Penta to the mat.
14:10And Penta could be hurt.
14:11Penta could be hurt.
14:12It's really, really ugly landing.
14:14And Wade off behind the referees back here.
14:17Dominic with a steel chair tosses it to Rusev.
14:27And officials like Dom, what are you trying to do?
14:29There's no disqualification.
14:30It doesn't matter.
14:31I don't care if I caught Rusev right handed.
14:33Rusev can use the chair as a weapon, which he's doing here.
14:36Well, Dirty Dom just fell on his own sort of scratch from the playbook.
14:41But just in the nick of time, booting that chair was Penta.
14:44Oh, Mexican Destroyer to Mysterio.
14:47He used Rusev as a springboard.
14:50The Mexican Destroyer.
14:51And now Rusev.
14:53Penta lands on his feet.
14:57An astonishing movement of Penta is back.
14:59Oh!
15:00And there's nothing Rusev can do about it.
15:02Planted on the top of his head.
15:03Tornado DDT.
15:05Cover!
15:06Rusev kicks out at two.
15:08Very little left in that kick out from Rusev here.
15:11Take another look at this.
15:12Using a little left there from Rusev to now that Mexican Destroyer.
15:17And then capitalizing on the space by drilling Rusev with that Tornado DDT.
15:24And I'll tell you this right now.
15:26This match has been dominated by Rusev.
15:28You do wonder if the big Bulgarian has now burned himself out
15:32with so much dominance as Penta goes into the kill.
15:36Yeah, but you're getting a glimpse of what Penta's all about here.
15:40Look at the Mexican Destroyer again.
15:41But Rusev able to catch Penta.
15:43And now deliver an Alabama slam to Penta.
15:46And now Rusev gonna look to put Penta away.
15:49Went for the Mascar kick and Penta ducks underneath.
15:55And now it's Penta.
15:56Pump handle.
15:57Now goes Rusev.
15:59Turned it into a driver.
16:00Cover now by Penta for the win.
16:03Rusev powers out.
16:05Oh God.
16:06Well that was the move time and time again.
16:09Stunningly moving out of the way of the Mascar kick.
16:12And nailing this Penta driver that we saw him win so many matches earlier in this year.
16:18Wid.
16:19And now boiling over with frustration is Penta who thought he had gold in the bag.
16:25Both men down.
16:26Dominik's out of the equation.
16:28This is for the Intercontinental Championship.
16:30First man again pinfall or submission will win the title.
16:33Well this one has swung back and forth.
16:36But now the wind in the sails of this Mexican Phenom that is Penta.
16:42Yeah you feel like the momentum shifted.
16:44It could be Penta's night.
16:45No!
16:46Rusev off the Mascar kick now.
16:49Stomped to the back.
16:51Accolade time.
16:52And Rusev could be closing in on the Intercontinental title.
16:56Full talk.
16:57It's there!
16:58It's there!
16:59We've got a new Intercontinental Champion!
17:02A tap out!
17:04To the accolade!
17:05Rusev gets it done!
17:07Wow!
17:08Well I...
17:09I...
17:10I'm not sure Wade.
17:11I didn't see Penta tap out.
17:12The official very confused as well.
17:15I guess the timekeeper...
17:16Maybe he got a bit overzealous here.
17:18Well Rusev thinks he's got...
17:19Oh God!
17:20Oh give me a break!
17:21That's not Berkeley!
17:23Oh God!
17:24That's Dirty Dom!
17:25Well technically the match is still going then!
17:29Dom rang the bell!
17:31All he's done is piss Rusev off!
17:34Just when Penta was about to tap out!
17:36And he's still got the hammer in his hand!
17:38Yeah Rusev though blocked Dominik from using it as a weapon!
17:41What he's used many times over the past four or five weeks to win his matches!
17:46I'm not quite sure what Dominik was trying to accomplish by ringing the bell there except it just made Rusev extremely angry!
17:52Well Penta was about to tap out!
17:54That was the problem!
17:55He was gonna lose the match!
17:57Penta was gonna tap to the accolade!
18:00Rusev was gonna be the champ but he was denied!
18:03The match is still ongoing!
18:04That's a great point Wade!
18:06I gotta give Dominik credit then!
18:07For what he did there as he drives Rusev shoulder first into the steps!
18:12It's the story of the Dirty Dom reign!
18:14It's chicanery at it's finest!
18:16Admire the mental powers of Dirty Dom who is still clinging onto his reign as Intercontinental champ!
18:23And Dirty Dom who's used the bell hammer to his advantage recently!
18:33Hammer time!
18:35And we know there's no disqualification here!
18:40Dom's in big trouble!
18:41Oh no!
18:42Penta just struck Rusev!
18:44Dominik sends Penta into the post!
18:46Rusev is out cold!
18:48Penta just struck Rusev with that bell hammer!
18:51And now Dirty Dom with a frog splash!
18:54The cover!
18:55One, two, three!
18:56Dirty Dom steals it again!
18:59Here is your winner!
19:03And still the Intercontinental Champion!
19:09Dirty Dominik Mysterio!
19:14Again Wade, I've gotta give Dominik Mysterio credit!
19:20He somehow continues to win and win and win!
19:27195 days and counting as the Intercontinental Champion!
19:32In each match Wade, he wins differently!
19:35The guy is a genius!
19:37It's a title reign that is built on bending the rules to his advantage!
19:42He can't match the power of Rusev!
19:44He can't match the movement of Penta!
19:46But he can outsmart them both!
19:48Time and time again!
19:50This is what it looked like it was the end for Penta!
19:53Match kick connecting!
19:55Accolade to play!
19:56Bell one!
19:57We got a new champ!
19:58Or do we?
19:59This is great strategy by Dom!
20:01You explained it the right way way!
20:04Dominik saving his championship because Penta was gonna tap out!
20:07But then going for the kill was Penta with the hammer!
20:11Dom ducks!
20:12It nails Rusev!
20:13Turned out of the ring was Penta!
20:15And then one frog splash later to a partially KO'd Rusev!
20:21And Dom does it again!
20:24And I know it must have tasted bad you admitting how impressive Dom's methodology is!
20:30But wow!
20:32Boy Wonder does it again!
20:34You can never do it!
20:35Your double mega-campeon!
20:37El Sucio de los Lucios!
20:39King of the Luchadores!
20:42Dirty Dominik!
