00:00:00His presence is felt everywhere tonight.

00:01:33mastermind who is always one step ahead of the competition Paul Heyman claims
00:01:39he has nothing to do with that hooded figure who was pivotal in the vision et al's victory in the
00:01:46war games match at survivor series some have their doubts I'm going to take it on face value however
00:01:53we did here earlier tonight Paul Heyman wanted to enter a little politics with GM Adam Pearce
00:02:01regarding his charge Ron Breaker who pinned the world heavyweight champ CM Punk in the war games match

00:04:07WWE President Nick Khan is on with Logan Paul.
00:04:11Of course, the record-setting attendance, the live-gated Survivor Series.
00:04:15Comedian Andrew Scholes is with Steph McMahon, and Bayley is the guest with The Undertaker.
00:04:28The vision has taken over the ring here in Arizona.
00:04:31Of course, they spent most of Saturday night's post-Survivor Series War Games encounter
00:04:37ignoring any and all questions about the hooded mystery man.
00:04:40Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Haynes.
00:04:47You're going to have to indulge me tonight with a few shout-outs.
00:04:53Shout-out to Barack Lesnar!
00:04:59You, sir, are still like no other human on the face of the planet.
00:05:05You are the beast!
00:05:08Shout-out to Drew McIntyre!
00:05:14It was a pleasure doing business with you, sir.
00:05:21Shout-out to Big Brunson Reed!
00:05:27This man tsunamied everyone on the other side to the point where none of them were ever going
00:05:39to come back with victory.
00:05:42Shout-out to the biggest mainstream star on the face of the planet today,
00:05:59who now fits in perfectly with Paul Heyman's vision for the future of WWE,
00:06:12the maverick Logan Paul!
00:06:17And shout-out, shout-out to WWE itself for listening to your wise man.
00:06:32For on Monday night, January 5th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York,
00:06:38on the first anniversary of Raw on Netflix,
00:06:43your heavyweight champion of the world, C.M. Punk!
00:06:53Will defend the title live on Netflix
00:06:57and lose the title live on Netflix
00:07:02to the uncrowned heavyweight champion of the world,
00:07:07Veranda Breaker!
00:07:12I'm a little bit upset tonight,
00:07:40and it's not because of where we are.
00:07:43It's not because of the hooded guy, Batman,
00:07:46or whoever the hell that was that jumped the cage on Saturday
00:07:49and tried to ruin my moment.
00:07:52I'm upset, almost disappointed, really,
00:07:56how easy it was to pin CM Punk.
00:08:03Because I thought I was going to have to reach into my bag
00:08:08and find this courage, this different level of athleticism,
00:08:13this different level, go to a place that I've never been before
00:08:17to face the guy that I grew up watching, that I heard about,
00:08:20that I heard all the stories of the greatness of CM Punk,
00:08:24only for me to stand across from him and realize
00:08:27that CM Punk is nothing but a soft-ass bitch.
00:08:38CM Punk is no different than any other veteran
00:08:44that has lived off of past glory.
00:08:46He's no different than Seth Rollins being a narcissistic piece of garbage
00:08:52at the top of the mountain, holding everyone else down,
00:08:55when really he should be worried about the war going on inside of his own home,
00:08:59that his, his wife is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:14CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk.
00:09:25On January 5th, it's going to be a fight, but it's going to be a different kind of fight.
00:09:32CM Punk, I promise you, because on Saturday, you tried to break my neck,
00:09:41you tried to ruin my life, you tried to ruin my dream,
00:09:45everything that I've ever worked for in my entire life,
00:09:48you tried to take that away from me, so I'm...
00:09:55Listen to me, Punk. I'm going to ruin your life.
00:10:00I'm coming for your career.
00:10:02I'm coming for every good memory that these people remember you for.
00:10:07I'm coming for it all, and oh, I didn't forget.
00:10:11This is for you, by the way. I hope you're watching at home.
00:10:14You remember last year at WrestleMania backstage,
00:10:17when you came up to me in the back in the hallway, and you said,
00:10:20Well, congratulations on all the success, kid. Let's see if we can cut a promo with the big dogs now.
00:10:25Well, la-dee-da. Consider the promo cut.
00:10:29Because on January 5th, when you're on your ass looking up at the lights,
00:10:35and I'm standing over you, and they announce me as the new heavyweight champion of the world,
00:10:41you will look into my eyes with your beady stupid face and realize you are not even close
00:10:50to the badass Broadbreaker, the real best in the world!
00:10:56Damn!
00:10:58Oh, are you kidding me?
00:11:02My God, Joe Tess, an incendiary promo from Broadbreaker that scarily will pale in compassion
00:11:11for the kind of physicality that he will bring on the opening roar of 2026,
00:11:17when he faces world heavyweight champ CM Punk!
00:11:21That was lava.
00:11:23That was lava.
00:11:27Excuse me, Jay. Hey, how are you feeling after tonight's loss to LA Knight?
00:11:35Jay, Jay, I know you're on your way out, but can I at least get your thoughts on the mystery man
00:11:40at Survivor Series? Do you know anything new?
00:11:42Man, Jackie O. I don't know nothing about nothing.
00:11:45Jay, man, it's me. What about Braun Branker? Do you have any thoughts on that? He just became the
00:11:52number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:11:56Jackie, I don't give a damn about no drawbreaker. I don't give a damn about no vision right now.
00:12:03A lot of people in my head, they need to get out.
00:12:08I know the only person to blame is a man looking back in the mirror. That's what I know, Jackie O.
00:12:14Hey, hey, you know what? You know what? Matter of fact, Roman said it best. Them titles look best on his shoulders.
00:12:26And not mine.
00:12:27Cyber Monday is here, and the clock is ticking. WWE Shop has dropped exclusive deals just for you.
00:12:41Add the hottest gear, the latest fits, and load up for the holiday season.
00:12:46Visit WWE Shop and make your holidays legendary.
00:12:50Real MEO, they are warming up.
00:12:58They've got their sights set on a shot at the championship.
00:13:01But it's the recent War Games teammates turned opposition.
00:13:05Charlotte and Alexa Bliss await tonight.
00:13:17The following is a semi-final match in the last round of the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:13:42The following is a semi-final match in the last round in the tournament.
00:13:50It is the race from Vienna, Austria.
00:13:54Weighed it at 250 pounds.
00:13:58The ring general, GULTER!
00:14:05Well, since he has come back, we have seen an elevated version of one of the skilled and powerful,
00:14:10incredibly damaging superstars.
00:14:13Gunther, in this tournament to see who will have the historic honor of being John Cena's final opponent.
00:14:21The semi-finals against Solom Sokoa next.
00:14:25What a matchup!
00:14:40Weighed Parrott, there has been an edge to Gunther since he has returned,
00:14:51and is in the midst of this last-time-is-now tournament.
00:14:56A lot of us in WWE have been watching this man for many years,
00:15:00including his time in NXT UK, NXT, and, of course, on Raw and SmackDown.
00:15:06And you can count losses practically on one hand.
00:15:11Gunther does not take losses well,
00:15:15and generally bounces back with a vengeance,
00:15:18and that's exactly what he's done thus far in this tournament.
00:15:36You don't get to choose the cards.
00:15:47Only how you play them.
00:15:52I've set a tables like this my whole life.
00:15:56Taken some hits.
00:15:58We ain't finishin' no story.
00:16:01Went all in a few times, and I'm still here.
00:16:04I don't waste time worrying about opponents.
00:16:12I was built for this moment, and everyone after it.
00:16:20WrestleMania Vegas.
00:16:22It's anyone's game.
00:16:23And his opponent accompanied byTT
00:16:52by Stella Tunga, from as big as Nevada,
00:16:56bring in for 250 pounds,
00:17:00Soujo Sekoua!
00:17:06One bad, bad dude, followed by one big, big dude
00:17:11in that cut spell, Trouble for Gunthars,
00:17:14plans to conquer this tournament.
00:17:17These two going head to head imminently
00:17:20for a place in the final of the Last Time Is Now tournament.
00:17:43There are moments where every second feels like a month,
00:17:48and there are moments where 25 years feels like a second.
00:17:53My lens through what WWE is, is like 220 dates a year,
00:17:59five dates a week, a different town every night.
00:18:02And like there are just gaps that I can't even,
00:18:05like, I mean, I don't know what happened in 2006.
00:18:08You know, like, but if I have some time,
00:18:12and if I have a little bit of guidance of like,
00:18:13hey, in 2006 you had a match, oh, I remember that.
00:18:17That's where, like, the decades feel like seconds.
00:18:21Well, you probably just saw Tom Rinaldi on the Thanksgiving Day NFL game.
00:18:25Now you can see Rinaldi's full interview with John Cena,
00:18:28available immediately following Raw next Monday on WWE's YouTube.
00:18:33The final match, the final week of John Cena for Saturday night's main event,
00:18:40Washington, D.C., December 13th.
00:18:43It is time to see who can draw closer, get to the finals,
00:18:47who can have that historic opportunity.
00:18:50There is Solo Sokoa, who was in the midst of a highly competitive quarterfinal match last week,
00:18:55and this is how he advanced.
00:18:56Well, Solo was taken on the high-flying Penta.
00:18:59Penta went high risk with that hurricanrana,
00:19:01but just landed badly, injuring the shoulder,
00:19:04unable to compete per our medical staff,
00:19:08which gave Solo a pass through to tonight's semifinal.
00:19:13Penta's going to be sidelined for an as yet undetermined amount of time.
00:19:17We wish him the best, and we will keep you posted.
00:19:20Well, listen, Wade, you hear it all the time in tournament action,
00:19:23in any sport, survive and advance.
00:19:26And the last time is now tournament semifinals.
00:19:30If you advance, you will be in the finals on SmackDown against LA Knight.
00:19:37Of course, the massive prize.
00:19:39We've said it earlier, titles, championships, they come and go.
00:19:43Retiring John Cena once, and it will cement a legacy.
00:19:49Who will take a step closer right here?
00:19:52Gunther and Solo Sokoa, we are underway.
00:19:55Yeah, and I'm going to add to that, Joe Tess.
00:19:57I agree with everything you just said,
00:19:58but I'm going to put that final match of John Cena's up there
00:20:02on a par with breaking the Undertaker's streak.
00:20:06We saw Brock Lesnar do that many, many years ago,
00:20:09and we have not stopped talking about it.
00:20:11Whoever has that final match with John Cena, who retires John Cena,
00:20:16especially if they can beat John Cena on the way out,
00:20:20we will be talking about it for decades.
00:20:22Remember, LA Knight defeated Jey Uso earlier tonight,
00:20:26and now to see who advances to face LA Knight on December 13th.
00:20:32The winner against Cena, the ultimate prize in the industry right now.
00:20:37Such an interesting collision between these two in the ring.
00:20:41Oftentimes, they use similar playbooks.
00:20:43It might come down to who is the better at cheating in this particular match,
00:20:48and I would have to give a significant edge to Solo Sokoa
00:20:53based on the fact that there's this almost seven-foot-tall
00:20:58Talatonga menacingly stalking the outside of the ring,
00:21:02and the ring general Gunther has to have his wits about him at all times.
00:21:07Yeah, try calling the match with Talatonga choosing to stand right in front of me here,
00:21:11nearly seven-foot-tall.
00:21:12The imposing figure, the menacing force for Solo Sokoa.
00:21:19Well, these two have indeed clashed, although it was several years ago.
00:21:23They competed back in their NXT days, although both have massively,
00:21:27massively grown and developed since then.
00:21:29There's not a lot we can read into that particular match, although for the record,
00:21:33the winner on that occasion was Gunther.
00:21:37Was Gunther an NXT UK champ, Solo Sokoa, an NXT North American champ.
00:21:42Solo went on to be a United States champion, Gunther a two-time heavyweight champion,
00:21:47and the 666-day longest title reign in history as the Intercontinental
00:21:54champion for the IC belt that reign.
00:21:58Now Gunther trying to pick up the offense as they test each other's size and strength,
00:22:03back and forth, center of the ring.
00:22:05Both a couple of powerhouses made of granite.
00:22:10And the first shot landed, the first big one goes in favor of Solo Sokoa.
00:22:15That is a big, big mental momentum builder.
00:22:20Solo Sokoa's got his hands full over on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:22:24Problems brewing with Uncle Howdy and the Wyatt Six.
00:22:27Needs to put that to the back of his mind for now at least.
00:22:30We saw that with the traditional Survivor Series match the other night.
00:22:34Big boot from the ring general.
00:22:38Semi-final action to advance and the last time is now tournament.
00:22:42That's a very interesting opening pace to this match.
00:22:54And then things heated up moments ago.
00:22:57And now Solo Sokoa out to the floor as you see Tala Tonga standing over him.
00:23:02This is interesting.
00:23:02Normally Gunther would want to follow up on Solo Sokoa on the floor there.
00:23:06The reason he didn't I would have to assume is because Solo Sokoa's partner in crime right
00:23:12next to him Tala Tonga was lurking and Gunther fought twice.
00:23:16Which has given Solo Sokoa essentially a standing nine count there to get back in the ring.
00:23:24Straight back into danger and Gunther on the offense.
00:23:27Yeah driving down those elbows.
00:23:29And now he is going to follow him out there Wade.
00:23:31Not too close.
00:23:32There was my...
00:23:33Oh!
00:23:34Oh big shot!
00:23:35I mean a massive shot!
00:23:39Look at that steamed off.
00:23:40Not many people make Gun butt lock small.
00:23:45Seven foot tall.
00:23:46There's an uppercut from Sokoa.
00:23:48He's catching the eye of Gunther there.
00:23:50Rock the big man.
00:23:51Oh right into the post.
00:23:56Solo Sokoa knows full well he has to.
00:23:58Oh!
00:23:59Oh!
00:24:00Oh!
00:24:01Man he may have damaged that right hand and Gunther goes right back to it.
00:24:05Well how...
00:24:06Missing on the spike.
00:24:07How smart is that of Gunther?
00:24:08That is the big danger shot from Solo Sokoa.
00:24:12First crashing against that steel ring post.
00:24:17And then on the attack ever since aiming at that thumb.
00:24:21Trying to smash the hand of Solo Sokoa.
00:24:23Take away his biggest weapon.
00:24:25You can see Solo trying to inspect his stuff.
00:24:28Oh!
00:24:28And now on top of the steel steps.
00:24:30You see Talatonga desperately wanting to get involved.
00:24:33But a disqualification here for Solo Sokoa will eliminate him from the tournament.
00:24:39So Talatonga has to be incredibly careful here.
00:24:42And careful he was.
00:24:44Because the referee the second he turned his back.
00:24:48Talatonga like a splinter pounce sweeping the ledge of the ring general.
00:24:55You might not like it but that is devastatingly effective for one of the mfts.
00:25:02Is there a charge?
00:25:04Is there a charge?
00:25:05Is there a charge?
00:25:07Is there a charge?
00:25:09Is there a charge?
00:25:10Yeah!
00:25:11I've won it.
00:25:11A perhaps pivotal turning point in this match.
00:25:17That intervention by Talatonga was...
00:25:20And there's no letter whatsoever from the former street fighting champ of the islands.
00:25:27who knows how to fight dirty.
00:25:46Look at this scene here in Glendale, Arizona.
00:25:50Massive crowd at Desert Diamond Arena.
00:25:52Things have changed with Gunther and Solo Sokoa,
00:25:55and that is because of the presence of the enforcer of Solo Sokoa, Tala Tonga.
00:26:00Now, this was the second the referee turned his back on Tala Tonga.
00:26:04So smart by the NFT, sweeping the legs of Gunther,
00:26:09and finally giving Solo a massive upper hand here.
00:26:13Gunther, once again, trying to go for that weak spot.
00:26:16Got a couple of shots on the hand of Solo Sokoa a little earlier in this matchup,
00:26:21and now trying to fight back from underneath.
00:26:23Yeah, Gunther dominated the first two rounds of this last time
00:26:26in his now tournament to see who faces John Cena in Cena's final match.
00:26:31It was Javon Evans and Carmelo Hayes that he got through.
00:26:34This is a very different beast, Wade, with Solo Sokoa.
00:26:38Completely different kind of animal, and perhaps animal is the right word,
00:26:42because the mentality of Solo Sokoa is to be merciless and unyielding
00:26:47when he has the upper hand.
00:26:49This is a perfect moment for Solo Sokoa to take a little breather,
00:26:54knowing full well he has the big Austrian opponent hurt at this point
00:26:58and unable to attack.
00:27:00You can see Gunther reaching for his back.
00:27:02Oh, chop down to the back of the neck.
00:27:04Gunther himself was trying to take advantage moments ago
00:27:07when Solo Sokoa went for the Samoan spike,
00:27:10but hit the ring post, and then Gunther was targeting that thumb.
00:27:14And now back to the chop.
00:27:22This time, Gunther locking it up.
00:27:25Yeah, it's so rare.
00:27:26You see a block like that on a body slam,
00:27:28but so technically astute.
00:27:30Meanwhile, oh, but he collapses down.
00:27:34This to advance to the finals.
00:27:35Well, two things, Solo Sokoa is a massive, massive human being.
00:27:39He is just as thick as they come,
00:27:42but combine that with the amount of headbutt attacks
00:27:45that he has fired at the lower back of Gunther,
00:27:48and Gunther simply didn't have the power
00:27:51to make that body slam stick.
00:27:54Two veteran superstars who know what it means to win championships,
00:27:58but you talk to everybody around this arena today,
00:28:02and they say the big prize, the one everybody wants,
00:28:05is the chance to retire John Cena.
00:28:08This is a semifinal win here,
00:28:10and you face L.A. Knight in the finals of the tournament.
00:28:14Willie has turned to speed for Gunther at this point.
00:28:17The power game simply isn't working.
00:28:19That's normally in his bag of tricks.
00:28:22It's not going to work against Solo Sokoa,
00:28:25not when you're half beaten down
00:28:26like the former World Heavyweight champ is right now.
00:28:29Gunther quick to his feet
00:28:31and catching Solo on top of the rope
00:28:33and now going up himself.
00:28:38This has really turned into a war of attrition.
00:28:41With these two giants,
00:28:44all that size and weight crashing down,
00:28:48and you could see the ring shake.
00:28:51But of course, executing that move,
00:28:53even though Gunther was the man performing it,
00:28:55that superplex there,
00:28:57landing on his own lower back in the process.
00:29:00You see him turn, try to avoid it,
00:29:02still catches his own lumbar spine,
00:29:05and it's not the stubborn heart of Gunther,
00:29:07as it did Solo Sokoa.
00:29:10Let's go Gunther!
00:29:13Let's go Gunther!
00:29:16Let's go Gunther!
00:29:17Let's go Gunther!
00:29:17The winner here will be one win away
00:29:21from being John Cena's final opponent.
00:29:24That historic pedestal that everybody desires.
00:29:28This is how they started off the match,
00:29:31and they're getting right back to it,
00:29:33towing the line, center of the ring.
00:29:35Just two immovable objects slugging it out,
00:29:38and something has to give tonight.
00:29:47Oh, what a chop!
00:29:48Big right hand.
00:29:50As durable and tough as they come,
00:29:52just wincing in pain under this barrage of attacks
00:29:55from one another,
00:29:56and refusing to go down,
00:29:58go down, you might stay down!
00:30:00Oh, man, oh, man!
00:30:02Shot to the throat!
00:30:17Solo Sokoa was able to utilize that right thumb,
00:30:22but all the damage that was done in the lead-up to that strike,
00:30:28high above Desert Diamond Arena,
00:30:30as we bring you down to the action.
00:30:32Both men down here in the midst of this last-time-is-now tournament semifinal.
00:30:38The winner advances to face L.A. Night on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:30:43Who will work their way to Saturday night's main event
00:30:46and be the final opponent in John Cena's greatest-of-all-time career?
00:30:54And this really is the point in the match.
00:30:57It's usually championship time.
00:30:59A place you can go to if you're good enough to find that extra gear.
00:31:03Well, it's championship time now,
00:31:06or John Cena time, shall we call it.
00:31:09And finally pulling it out is Gunther.
00:31:12We know for a fact that lower back is screaming in agony,
00:31:15and he wants to finish this right now.
00:31:17Oh, the splash from the big man.
00:31:20The ring general to advance.
00:31:23And just a moment shy as that right shoulder gets up.
00:31:27When your body is screaming in agony,
00:31:30and you feel like you've got the job done,
00:31:32as Gunther just did right there with that body slam splash combination,
00:31:37and your opponent kicks out,
00:31:39it completely saps all the will and drive out of your soul.
00:31:44And Gunther is now struggling.
00:31:48Crowd is getting loud here in Glendale, Arizona.
00:31:51So long, let's go solo!
00:31:53Let's go solo!
00:31:54Let's go solo!
00:31:55Let's go solo!
00:31:56Let's go solo!
00:31:56Let's go solo!
00:31:57Let's go solo!
00:31:58Let's go solo!
00:31:58Let's go solo!
00:31:59Let's go solo!
00:32:00Let's go solo!
00:32:00Let's go solo!
00:32:01Let's go solo!
00:32:02Let's go solo!
00:32:02Follows up to the side.
00:32:04Already proved enough damage in this match.
00:32:07But somehow, the golf club are in general prevailing,
00:32:10going back to the danger zone on Solo Sokoa.
00:32:14That thumb responsible for the Samoan Spike.
00:32:18the kill shot.
00:32:21Club to the jaw right there from Gunther.
00:32:24Technique going out the window.
00:32:26Oh!
00:32:27Spinning solo.
00:32:28The spinning solo slam for the window.
00:32:31Oh!
00:32:45Gunther was in complete control of this last time
00:32:48is now tournament semifinal until moments ago
00:32:51when a spinning solo slam was delivered by Solo Sokoa.
00:32:55We are now in the deep waters of this thrilling semifinal
00:32:59to see who will advance and draw closer
00:33:02in the last time is now tournament
00:33:03and be John Cena's final opponent.
00:33:07The winner here advances to Friday Night SmackDown
00:33:09to face L.A. Knight.
00:33:13Oh, the running hip attack by Solo.
00:33:15And now he has complete momentum, Wade.
00:33:17Well, Gunther was the favorite for this tournament
00:33:20after all competitors were announced.
00:33:23Well, a favorite Gunther might be about to get put to the sword
00:33:26or should I say put to the spike
00:33:28of Solo Sokoa.
00:33:31He's revving the...
00:33:33Oh!
00:33:34He came in for the hip attack
00:33:36and Gunther met him with a massive clothesline.
00:33:39This is those gears we were talking...
00:33:41Oh, my God!
00:33:42What a counter by Sokoa.
00:33:44Massive clothesline by the ring general
00:33:47to win it right here.
00:33:51And you just have to be uncompromising at this point in the match.
00:33:57Uncompromising with your opponent's health.
00:33:59Uncompromising with your own health.
00:34:02Ignore the fact that every sinew is screaming,
00:34:05give up, get back to the locker room,
00:34:08live to fight another day,
00:34:10remember what's at stake.
00:34:12History hangs in the balance.
00:34:14Your opportunity to go down in history
00:34:17against John Cena
00:34:18at Saturday night's main event.
00:34:21He was looking for the powerbomb earlier
00:34:23when Sokoa countered.
00:34:24Can he get him in position here?
00:34:26Big body, thick Solo Sokoa.
00:34:30Oh, instead!
00:34:33Possible Samoan drop opportunity!
00:34:35No!
00:34:36Getting out the back door
00:34:38and working on that thumb again!
00:34:40He damaged it earlier.
00:34:42And there it is!
00:34:44The Samoan drop!
00:34:46And now,
00:34:47Solo hooking the leg
00:34:49to put away Gunther!
00:34:50Boy, oh boy,
00:34:52these two are just running on fumes right now.
00:34:57Giving it everything they've got.
00:34:59And why not?
00:35:01You will never get another opportunity like this
00:35:03in your entire career.
00:35:05These things just don't come around very often.
00:35:08Solo is looking for the spike.
00:35:13Once in a generation moment,
00:35:15this is your only opportunity
00:35:17to see something like this.
00:35:20And Solo Sokoa
00:35:21refusing to let it go.
00:35:24Gunther's in the...
00:35:24Oh, what a chop!
00:35:26Knife's edge right across
00:35:28the neck of Solo Sokoa!
00:35:33And another!
00:35:36How much damage
00:35:38can Solo Sokoa take?
00:35:42Chop meet Pex!
00:35:44Gunther delivering the blows!
00:35:49Spinning Solo Slam again!
00:35:52Just when you start writing Solo Sokoa up!
00:35:59Oh, the blast!
00:36:00This could be it!
00:36:03Gunther survives!
00:36:05Just take a listen to this!
00:36:14Just as Solo is going in for the big one,
00:36:18Gunther bounces back,
00:36:19but then a spinning Solo
00:36:22followed by this iconic splash!
00:36:25And it's still not enough
00:36:27to keep down the ring general!
00:36:30Why are we surprised?
00:36:33Rajapata, our official,
00:36:35just looking at these two guys,
00:36:37saying,
00:36:37how much more can they give?
00:36:39Can they endure?
00:36:40These are the decisions
00:36:41that real fighters make!
00:36:43Going for the spike again!
00:36:47Oh, the sleeper's in, Wade!
00:36:49Locked in!
00:36:50Central at the ring,
00:36:51and Solo Sokoa struggling
00:36:52for that rope!
00:36:53He denies it!
00:36:55Gunther denied that right-handed,
00:36:57now able to make it over
00:36:58to the corner.
00:36:59Solo's got over there.
00:37:01Oh, he rips off the turnbuckle!
00:37:02Oh!
00:37:03That was inadvertent or not,
00:37:05but the turnbuckle is off!
00:37:07German suplex connecting!
00:37:09Solo Sokoa has no clue
00:37:11where he's at,
00:37:12perhaps he thought that turnbuckle
00:37:13pad was his pillow,
00:37:14because he is on Dream Street
00:37:16right now.
00:37:16Because Zapat is tending
00:37:17for the turnbuckle,
00:37:18and meanwhile,
00:37:19Tawatanga gets up on the apron.
00:37:21That's the second time,
00:37:22once again,
00:37:23with the rest,
00:37:23that was...
00:37:24Oh!
00:37:24Massive size 17 boot
00:37:27to the kisser
00:37:28of Gunther!
00:37:30The referee's back
00:37:31is completely turned
00:37:33as they team up
00:37:34to do damage!
00:37:41Gunther delivers a boot
00:37:42to the zone!
00:37:43Oh, the mule kick!
00:37:44A mule kick!
00:37:45Onions!
00:37:46Time!
00:37:46Done!
00:37:47And that right thumb
00:37:49right on the apron!
00:37:51The referee catching them
00:37:52in the act
00:37:53just when it was
00:37:54at its most crucial!
00:37:58And now Tawatanga
00:37:59dropped with that low blow!
00:38:01And again!
00:38:03Referee didn't see it!
00:38:05Gunther delivers the low blow!
00:38:06Oh, what a powerbomb!
00:38:09To advance!
00:38:11He does it!
00:38:16Here is your winner!
00:38:19The ring general!
00:38:20The ring general!
00:38:22Goal!
00:38:23Time!
00:38:25Well, he talked
00:38:25at the beginning
00:38:26of the match
00:38:27about how these
00:38:28two styles
00:38:29were so similar,
00:38:30how it could come down
00:38:31to who
00:38:32outcheeks who!
00:38:34While the ring general
00:38:36gets it done again
00:38:37against overwhelming
00:38:39odds at times!
00:38:41This is where the referee
00:38:43busted
00:38:44Solo Sokoa
00:38:45and Tawatanga
00:38:46in the act!
00:38:47And that is one way
00:38:48to drop a
00:38:48seven-foot-tall
00:38:50M.F.T!
00:38:53Shortly thereafter
00:38:54with the ref distracted
00:38:55this is a way
00:38:56to drop
00:38:57Solo Sokoa
00:38:59and then stick him
00:39:00for the count
00:39:00with this powerbomb!
00:39:02What an epic war
00:39:03between these two!
00:39:05But it is now
00:39:06Gunther

00:49:17what��
00:49:18The following context is a tag team match in the 4-1 fall.
00:49:36Introducing first the team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:49:48And Alexa Bliss should take a lot of pride in the War Games.
00:49:51They're extremely instrumental in having that super team come together,
00:49:56especially with Charlotte and everything that was resolved with Rhea Ripley
00:49:59and then Charlotte playing such a big role from Friday right through Saturday night.
00:50:03While War Games was a massive event, but refocusing now because that's in the rearview mirror
00:50:10and these two want their tag goal back.
00:50:12They lost it to the Kabuki Warriors several weeks ago
00:50:15and as Charlotte told us earlier tonight, they never got a rematch.
00:50:20Well, win this evening and it may well augment your argument in the eyes of management.
00:50:45Talking about more, Charlotte always wants more.
00:50:58One of the greatest resumes in history, but never satiated.
00:51:02Wants the gold back.
00:51:05A-S-A-B.
00:51:07Here are two who want gold as well.
00:51:08Here are two who want gold as well.
00:51:17Here are two who want gold as well.
00:51:24Panguas the gold as well.
00:51:27Finally, the gold as well.
00:51:30Double, double, double, double, double, double.
00:51:33I need sleeping, the demons in your dreams.
00:51:39I need sleeping.
00:51:46And the opponents, the team of Io Sky and Rhea Ripley.
00:51:58As she's back to the black protective mask for her broken nose tonight,
00:52:03but for War Games, Rhea had that Art the Clown-inspired mask
00:52:09from the Terrifier horror film.
00:52:11She's a massive fan.
00:52:13She said, hey, David Howard's birthday was Saturday.
00:52:16He's the actor who plays that role, Art the Clown.
00:52:19That was an incredible scene Saturday, as was the entire effort by Io Sky,
00:52:24creating now a War Games tradition.
00:52:26Four years in a row that Io Sky has pulled off the top of the cage in a garbage can.
00:52:33Each one more insane than the last.
00:52:37These two, of course, debattled with the Kabuki Warriors a few weeks back.
00:52:43Perk Australia crown jewel.
00:52:45They were victorious on that occasion.
00:52:48Gold was not part of the equation back then.
00:52:51Things have changed since.
00:52:52They're now looking to get themselves to a position where they get an opportunity
00:52:57at the Kabuki Warriors.
00:52:59Victory here may well do it for them.
00:53:03Everybody on their feet when they hear, this is my brutality.
00:53:17Rhea Ripley, Io Sky against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:53:23I think everybody was shocked that here we are just 48 hours after the Women's War Games
00:53:30when these were teammates with A.J. Lee and coming up with the victory.
00:53:35And, you know, people reflect on recent weeks in terms of the trust that Rhea could find in Charlotte.
00:53:40Well, it was Flair who got Rhea out of the way of Asuka's mist the other night.
00:53:45So that trust was definitely there, this friendlier version of this relationship of heated rivals
00:53:50that shared history through the years.
00:53:52Yeah, I don't think they're ever going to be friends and that won't help things.
00:53:55No, it won't.
00:53:56But it has to be said, relations perhaps have thought somewhat versus where they were at.
00:54:02The accidental big boot by Charlotte as she lets Rhea know, hey, obviously.
00:54:09Right now, I'm not surprised about Charlotte putting Pete aside during War Games.
00:54:13First and foremost, Charlotte is a winner.
00:54:16Question about whether she will be a winner tonight in this one.
00:54:28Leo looked over a moment ago to check on Rhea Ripley.
00:54:33Rhea's down and out on the floor after Charlotte came charging in.
00:54:42Big shoulder tackle.
00:54:43From the 14-time world champion.
00:54:46I'll tell you right now, that big boot to the face of Rhea Ripley.
00:54:50Rhea Ripley's got that protective mask on her nose, but it still has impact on the nose when you kick the mask.
00:54:56It's not bulletproof in the sense that there's no damage incurred whatsoever.
00:55:01And Bernie, a really stung Rhea Ripley rib now back on the apron while Charlotte does her thing.
00:55:07Incredible athlete, Flair is every which way you can see.
00:55:10Rhea adjusting her jaw there and giving a stare right through Charlotte.
00:55:16Well, she heard the apologies from Charlotte.
00:55:18I'm sure, I'm not quite sure that she believes they were sincere.
00:55:21And the history of Charlotte Flair makes it rather unpredictable either way.
00:55:27And now Alexa Bliss into action against EO Sky.
00:55:33Nasty landing though for EO Sky still hurting after war games.
00:55:46In fact, all four of these women will be.
00:55:48And one of the keys to victory here has to be figuring out where the weak spots are on your opponents.
00:55:54And making a concerted effort to attack them.
00:55:58And that is exactly what Rhea Ripley did there.
00:56:00Here we go.
00:56:04Charlotte again is quickly trying to straighten herself.
00:56:07It's Rhea questioning things.
00:56:09Oh, that forearm right to the lower back of Alexa Bliss.
00:56:13It's going to hurt at the best of times, even more so when you've just been through war in the war games cage.
00:56:20Rhea bloody Ripley knows exactly where the weak spots are on Alexa Bliss.
00:56:26And I'll tell you right now, Joe, you win a match like war games.
00:56:30Multiple persons on your team.
00:56:32You go back to the locker room afterwards, maybe you have a drink, you celebrate together.
00:56:36But you do drop a couple of nuggets information about,
00:56:39Wow, you know when he or she hit me with this, really hurt my lower back or it really hurt my elbow.
00:56:44And you can use that information in a match like this right now.
00:56:48That's interesting.
00:56:49You go from teammates 48 hours to go sharing everything.
00:56:53Oh, look at Ripley.
00:56:56Got that prism trap locked in.
00:56:59And a tab out here wins this thing in short time.
00:57:03That prism trap is really locked in here as Alexa Bliss is struggling.
00:57:07And now goes from standing and inverted.
00:57:11There's no way out here, Joe.
00:57:12To down on the ground.
00:57:14Ripley a hell of a lot more powerful, too.
00:57:16What?
00:57:25Back here, Raw, live on Netflix from Desert Diamond Arena.
00:57:30When the evening began, Rhea Ripley and Eosuke came out celebrating the victory in women's war games
00:57:37and setting forth their intentions to go after the Kabuki Warriors to win the Tag Team World Championships.
00:57:43They were met by Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss saying,
00:57:47Hold on a second.
00:57:48We were the recent champs.
00:57:50If anybody deserves a shot, the Kabuki Warriors, it should be Charlotte and Alexa.
00:57:55Well, now locked back in that prism trap for a second time in this match is Alexa Bliss,
00:58:00who has really struggled with the power game of Rhea Ripley and the body of Alexa Bliss.
00:58:05Clearly hurting at the war game.
00:58:07That was a smart way out and an inadvertent collision from Rhea Ripley into Charlotte Flair
00:58:13after the one we saw in reverse a few moments ago.
00:58:17Yes, the match started inadvertently.
00:58:20It was Charlotte who landed a big boot on Rhea and now off the prison trap fourth attack corner.
00:58:26And it gets reversed as Rhea sends Charlotte off the apron.
00:58:30Would you look at Eosuke, the genius of the sky.
00:58:34And now you see the team work.
00:58:36This for the win.
00:58:39And Alexa Bliss is in a really, really bad way here.
00:58:42Of course, Charlotte senses it.
00:58:45And there seems to be no way out of trouble for Alexa, whose body is wracked with pain.
00:58:50That might be the moment to buy yourself a little opportunity to get out of there.
00:58:55Oh, trying to reach for Charlotte after that Meteora attempt.
00:58:58And instead, a massive right hand from Eosuke.
00:59:03And return fire from Alexa.
00:59:06And I think to your point that you made earlier, how much was taken out of our competitors
00:59:10with what they had to endure at Women's War Games, Wade?
00:59:13Look at the left elbow of Eosuke right there.
00:59:16You can see tape on the knee of Rhea Ripley.
00:59:19The arm of Alexa Bliss.
00:59:22You don't get out of War Games unscathed.
00:59:26And here we go, Joe Tess.
00:59:29How good is this going to be?
00:59:32Those form relations we talked about a little earlier.
00:59:35I think they've iced back over during the course of this match.
00:59:39They have settled their differences, and the trust was put forth after their face-to-face sit-down
00:59:46prior to Women's War Games.
00:59:49On Saturday night in San Diego, it worked out for Charlotte and Rhea.
00:59:55That the past is undeniable, and here they go.
01:00:04Two of the greats of this generation.
01:00:08You got the match they had at WrestleMania a couple of years ago in SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles.
01:00:13One of the greatest matches I've ever seen.
01:00:15That was one-on-one.
01:00:16It's tag tonight, but these two have really only had eyes for one another since that first bow rack.
01:00:25Massive right hands, and then Ripley comes back with one of her own.
01:00:32Flair wants all of it.
01:00:35Ripley's willing to give it.
01:00:36So few people can stand toe-to-toe with Ripley like this.
01:00:42Flair chop.
01:00:44And another.
01:00:46Just listen to her.
01:00:47She can feel the momentum gathering.
01:00:51And Rhea Ripley can feel a lot more than momentum.
01:00:55Oh, the big headbutt.
01:00:58Completely rocking Charlotte Flair, but immediately recovering.
01:01:01Nice.
01:01:02Right to that top turnbuckle by Flair.
01:01:05These two just know each other so well.
01:01:07They've studied each other as opponents in the past.
01:01:09Oh!
01:01:11From down to up and delivering the kick.
01:01:14This is great stuff between Ripley and Flair here in Arizona.
01:01:19Wade, exactly what you would expect between these two.
01:01:26Just a stalemate between two alpha females who completely run this industry when it comes to women's wrestling.
01:01:37Star power and ability does not get any higher.
01:01:40Well, it's Ripley who's able to tag out of there and get in the relatively, and I use that word loosely, fresh, EO Sky.
01:01:49She plexes EO Sky as the legal member here of this team as she delivers the kick to Charlotte.
01:01:58Every move of EO Sky is with a limp, with a grimace.
01:02:03A little stumble on the ropes, very out of character, tells you all about how the body of EO's been.
01:02:09Oh!
01:02:11Out onto the floor!
01:02:15The genius of the sky!
01:02:18Running on pure adrenaline.
01:02:21Taking out both opponents here.
01:02:24And now in the drop zone, has to be Charlotte Flair, not where you want to be, against an aerial artiste like EO Sky.
01:02:33So skilled, off the top rope.
01:02:35Missile drop kick, but instead, Flair turns it around.
01:02:38But Flair just rode that one out and completely turned it into this vertical Boston crowd now.
01:02:45Stretching out the body of EO Sky.
01:02:48Managing to kick away.
01:02:49Wow, look at Sky's shoulders are down!
01:02:50This is high-level skill.
01:02:54Turning defense into offense in the blink of an eye.
01:02:57Now moving like a blur is the genius of the odds!
01:03:00Oh, the strength of Charlotte Flair doing damage to win right here!
01:03:05Once again, it's that power game of Charlotte Flair that made a massive difference there.
01:03:09And that was a nasty landing for EO Sky.
01:03:11He landed high on that neck and the back of the head will be completely rocked by that impact.
01:03:18And Charlotte really has all the time in the world to gather her senses, catch her breath, come up with a game plan.
01:03:26Because Alexa, bless her tag partner, is still down and perhaps out.
01:03:29From women's war games teammates with great respect for each other to now fiery opponents here, Rhea Ripley, EO Sky against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
01:03:58As both teams have stated their mission, that they want to be in position to get the Kabuki Warriors to have gold.
01:04:06Of course, Charlotte and Alexa most recently were tag team champions.
01:04:11Look for these winners!
01:04:13Have been popped through the meat grinder over the past 48 hours after the hell that was War Games successful as it may have been for these four.
01:04:24And this match in and of itself has been brutality personified.
01:04:28And again, the body of Rhea Ripley just given out.
01:04:31You simply don't see that happening.
01:04:33Those are the effects of War Games.
01:04:35Listen, the brutality that happened in San Diego, there's no denying what it has done.
01:04:42Rays his edge.
01:04:43And then the missile dropkick.
01:04:46What a combination.
01:04:47This for the win.
01:04:49And Charlotte survives.
01:04:51It is so frustrating when you are feeling raggedy in there, your body isn't cooperating with you, but you finally stick a big move like that, the double whammy.
01:05:03And it still doesn't get you the victory.
01:05:06You can see that on the face of Rhea Ripley.
01:05:08She knows he just gave everything.
01:05:13Looking for the riptide right here.
01:05:15Can she deliver the riptide on Charlotte Flair?
01:05:17Oh!
01:05:18What a turnaround counter DDT by Flair!
01:05:21Spike right on the top of the head and now a recovery Alexa Bliss can put this one to bed.
01:05:26What a moment by Flair!
01:05:28Oh!
01:05:29And now delivering again is Bliss!
01:05:31The teamwork!
01:05:33And somehow, Ripley survives.
01:05:36Well, Rhea Ripley has absolutely no clue where she's at, but this is why she is perhaps the number one on planet Earth.
01:05:43That ability to dig deeper than anybody else.
01:05:47But it may be for Nort now, because I think I know exactly what Bliss has in mind.
01:05:52Could it be Twisted Bliss right here?
01:05:55Right now!
01:05:56Knees up!
01:05:56Knees up!
01:05:57Knees up right into the gut of Bliss!
01:06:00Perfect timing there from Rhea Ripley, recovered just in the nick of time.
01:06:04Genius of the Sky misses!
01:06:06Oh, what a boot by Charlotte!
01:06:08The player does not miss.
01:06:10Hey!
01:06:11And I think that was a tag too.
01:06:12Oh, natural selection coming in!
01:06:15Could it be Sister Abigail?
01:06:19Bliss lined up and delivered!
01:06:22Sister Abigail DDT at the natural selection!
01:06:25The save by Ripley!
01:06:27And it had to be a save, Joe Test!
01:06:29That was over!
01:06:30Io Sky's greatest years was never kicking out of those two!
01:06:34Oh, Charlotte hung up on the top rope!
01:06:36Oh, the big clothesline drips her over the apron and down to the floor!
01:06:39Bodies getting wrecked before our eyes!
01:06:42Competition fierce in the tag ranks!
01:06:44How about the pace and violence all of a sudden in the midst of this tag team match?
01:06:48Well, all four women now smell blood!
01:06:51We know we are close to an ending here!
01:06:53Something has to give!
01:06:55Somebody has to drop!
01:06:56And it looks like it could be Alexa Bliss!
01:06:58She escapes out the back door!
01:07:04Bliss was looking to counter with a DDT instead!
01:07:08Oh, now she's got Ria lined up!
01:07:11But instead, the headbutt denies the Sister Abigail DDT!
01:07:15Looking for riptie!
01:07:18Slams it down!
01:07:20Here comes the genius of the sky!
01:07:25Moonsong lands!
01:07:27Charlottetown!
01:07:28Charlotte just took Rhea Ripley and sent her flying into everybody for the save!
01:07:36That was just rugby scrum style there from Charlotte Flair who knew it was game over
01:07:42unless she dug deep enough to power Ripley into the pile that was that pin!
01:07:48Great stuff here in Glendale, Arizona!
01:07:51Whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:07:52The champs are on!
01:07:53The Kabuki Warriors are interrupting the match and beating them!
01:07:57What?
01:07:58In the midst of a great match!
01:08:01Well, just as we were reaching a crescendo, four women who have had major problems with
01:08:07the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors over the past several months, who have timed this to
01:08:12perfection.
01:08:13Do you want to launch a beatdown on the people who defeated you in war games?
01:08:19Wait till they're exhausted!
01:08:20But Io Sky got enough left!
01:08:22No, she doesn't!
01:08:23Io Sky was so brave to try to stand up to them!
01:08:26But now Asuka and Kairi Sane in complete control here!
01:08:30The women's tag team champions interrupting what was heating up to be a thriller between Ripley, Sky, Flair, and Bliss!
01:08:39Oh, this is just...
01:08:41Oh, this is to Sky.
01:08:41Oh, they've got the title in hand now as they're lining up to Io Sky.
01:08:44Wait a minute!
01:08:46Wait a minute, Wade!
01:08:48Lyra and Bayley!
01:08:51Two other women with designs on the goal.
01:08:54They've not been quiet about it!
01:08:57Here to save the day for the four who were competing in this match.
01:09:02Wiped out by the champs.
01:09:04They're getting a taste of their own medicine now.
01:09:06Lyra on the attack!
01:09:11Up on our announce desk!
01:09:14Cutting the wood to the...
