00:00Lenny Orango, the referee's got a big assignment because the champs are here.
00:30AJ Styles, Dragon Lee, World Tag Team Championship match against the New Day, it is next.
01:00What a treat, this is going to be AJ Styles and Dragon Lee who form that championship-level
01:17tag team chemistry in double-quick time, they've only had about 6 or 7 matches together at this
01:25point but very quickly, fast-track to the gold, compare that with their tag opponents this
01:32evening, the multi-time former tag team champions, the New Day who have been a fixture at the
01:39top of the tag ranks for over a decade here in WWE, but their work cut out to cling onto
01:48the gold this evening.
01:50They say in Vegas.
02:17Vegas, everyone's gotta tell, a blink, a breath, a moment that can't be controlled, but the
02:33great ones, they use it to their advantage.
02:37They own it.
02:38They've got them right where they want them.
02:40They've got them right where they want them.
02:47The rest just haven't figured it out yet.
03:01WrestleMania Vegas, it's anyone's game.
03:08It's your boys, the New Day.
03:14It's been a while since we've seen the New Day in action, we've seen plenty of death complaining
03:27backstage about having this opportunity, but this is their first match on Monday Night Raw
03:32since September 22nd.
03:33That was a six-man tag team.
03:34And they joined forces with the man you see behind them, Grayson Waller, to take on Penta
03:40and the War Raiders.
03:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Joe Test.
03:42This is not how you introduce these guys.
03:49You say, thank God for the news.
03:57And of course, Monday Night Raw brings out the best, including Trey Benson, the running
04:03back for the Cardinals, and Farrow Brown, great athlete, big tight end, as they are ringside
04:09here for championship action.
04:11Of course, her voice echoed over 46,000 at Petco Park on Saturday.
04:15And now here's Alicia Taylor with the official introductions.
04:19The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Tag Team Championship.
04:39Introducing first, the challengers.
04:42At a combined weight of 417 pounds, the team of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, the New
04:57Day.
05:02And their opponents at a combined weight of 385 pounds.
05:11They are the World Tag Team Champions, Dragon Lee and the phenomenal AJ Styles.
05:29So tag team wrestling died the day New Day lost the tag goal.
05:36Tonight, Joe Test, we are getting a biblical resurrection of the division.
05:41When New Day win their goal back, and we're all in unison.
05:45Yell, that guy.
05:46That is a hot start.
05:47I think the New Day is trying to make a statement right away and come out charging as you see
05:52them on the attack instantly against AJ Styles as Dragon Lee was sent the line.
06:01Well, look, New Day, they love to be fun and games.
06:03They love to be jokes.
06:04But there's a reason these are the two most decorated tag stars in this industry.
06:11It's because when that bell rings, jokes get put aside and they are all business.
06:16And right now at the business end of the fists and boots of the New Day is one half of the
06:22current tag champs, AJ Styles.
06:24Although his time at the top of this division looks like it's coming to a close.
06:29And as Kofi goes up top and crashes down on that left arm of Styles, 12-time tag team champions.
06:39And to your point, you know how this year has gone as Styles goes all the way across the ring.
06:46Absolute blitzkrieg here from the New Day from the very often.
06:50Dragon Lee's in danger of not even getting tagged into this one the way this is going.
06:55AJ Styles looking for an opening here.
06:58And he finds it driving Kofi Kingston into that corner.
07:01Then they take out his legs.
07:03And now a refreshed Dragon Lee off to business.
07:08Massive spark out the New Day from the off there.
07:11But the attack of AJ Styles simply did not last long enough for their liking.
07:16And immediately in there with that fire is Dragon Lee.
07:19Yeah, Kofi's trying to gather himself here.
07:24Dragon Lee wastes no time!
07:27That running run right off the apron as Xavier Woods comes crashing down on his partner Kofi Kingston.
07:43So Woods and Kingston clear strategy to come out charging right away.
07:48Styles was able to survive it.
07:50And then Dragon Lee has been on the offense, Wade.
07:53Yeah, and I've been speaking to the New Day about these tag champions.
07:57AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
07:59New Day have been telling me AJ and Dragon Lee as we've seen some joy jackets.
08:05AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are not even a real tag team.
08:13In fact, AJ Styles has never actually seen the face of Dragon Lee.
08:18And now I think about it, neither, neither have I, oh nice.
08:23A lot of people are saying that under that mask of Dragon Lee, it's actually Chad Gable.
08:28Are you out of your mind?
08:30No, I am not.
08:31A lot of rumors and hearsay online.
08:33It's something I'm looking at, I've got my team looking into at the moment.
08:36Something still very fishy about this team of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
08:42Dragon Lee.
08:44Malisco, Mexico, who has been on such a surge since the unlikely pairing with AJ Styles.
08:53And you and I were calling many of the matches this summer with Styles and Lee when you could
08:58see the chemistry right away.
09:00It was just one of those pairings where it's either there or it's not.
09:03And it was obvious right away that it was there.
09:05Yeah, they had a cheat code to that chemistry, both of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
09:11If you're looking to Dragon Lee's history down in Mexico.
09:14True veterans of the game allowed them to bypass the usual years of tagging together to get to the top.
09:21Oh, trying to win that gold right here.
09:26Let's talk for a second about the fact that the New Day, who lost their gold all the way back in June,
09:32Joe Test, were never granted a rematch against the Judgment Day, took it from them,
09:37by the tyrannical reign of Adam Pearce as GM of this show.
09:43If you think Adam Pearce started the Judgment Day to sit back and sit on those titles,
09:49you're out of your mind.
09:51There is no GM in sports who enjoys an active fighting champion more.
09:56And that is exactly what we're finally getting in this division with AJ Styles and Dragon Lee wing.
10:01Well, I agree with you to an extent.
10:03However, how come AJ Styles and Dragon Lee got an opportunity for tag gold prior to the New Day
10:10ever getting an opportunity at tag gold against the aforementioned Judgment Day?
10:15Well, that gets put right tonight.
10:17Was just constantly found a way to overcome Judgment Day.
10:21That is what's on the line here, the second defense of the World Tag Team Championship for AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
10:35Up against the 12-time champion, the New Day, and here comes AJ Styles with the striking combination.
10:54Now, Dragon Lee was getting the boots put to him for several minutes there.
11:01But just with that tag in the nick of time getting in the fresh AJ Styles.
11:06Who is now unleashed on the New Day, who I think thought they had this one in the back.
11:13Kofi Kingston's the legal man off the tag there.
11:17And look at the teamwork from the New Day!
11:20Yes!
11:22To win back gold!
11:24And Styles survives.
11:26Still pulling out new maneuvers after doing so many miles here in WWE at the very top.
11:32Still innovating, still creating, still keeping their opponents guessing.
11:37And perhaps now closing in on victory.
11:40Big G, Grayson Waller on the outside barking some instructions to his men.
11:47Oh, that boom drop is countered right into a pin of combination, but...
11:50Able to get the shoulder up.
11:52AJ Styles just able to bounce back better than most.
11:55Oh, would you look at Styles!
11:57Tough crusher locked in!
11:59And Kofi Kingston must feel a million miles away from the ropes here.
12:03Panic stations now for the New Day!
12:05Oh, he's thinking about that cap crusher's locked.
12:08Oh, the save from Woods!
12:10Had to be there.
12:12And now this one spilling out all over the place.
12:15The equalizer Dragon Lee, and of course, it is Kofi Kingston who's legal here.
12:20Keep your eyes peeled, AJ!
12:22Styles clears him.
12:23But look at the quick one attack now by Kofi!
12:26A handful of tights too.
12:27Wasn't quite enough against AJ Styles, who's tasted every dirty trick in the book in his time.
12:3425 plus years at the top for AJ.
12:37Dragon Lee, back in there.
12:41And now Kofi Kingston having to deal with the teamwork of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee to retain!
12:49Back at the skull of Kofi Kingston bouncing hard off the canvas there.
12:53Nice double-team move!
12:55Almost got the victory for the tag jumps!
12:57But the victory could be nigh here!
13:00Dragon Lee looking to close things out in style like only he can!
13:06Oh, but Kofi Smart denying that operation.
13:11Dragon bringing in the big kick, and here comes Xavier Woods!
13:15That's the collision middle of the ring!
13:18You hear that?
13:19Extra stank on these shots!
13:22Forearm by Dragon Lee, and a big boot!
13:24Dragon Lee's fighting for his life here!
13:26Is he ever?
13:30Oh man, oh man!
13:32Smart move there by Xavier Woods denying any opportunity for a tag!
13:37But Dragon Lee are now tied up in the ropes!
13:40Tag there for Kofi Kingston!
13:41Suicide dive to the outside!
13:43AJ Styles took it hard on the barrier!
13:45That's Kofi Kingston to win gold right here!
13:49As Dragon Lee's turn to dig deep and cling onto that gold!
13:55What high-speed hop that's here from the New Day!
13:59Fantastic dropkick!
14:01Almost got the job done there!
14:03Earlier this year, they were champs!
14:07Then they were unseated and grief-stricken!
14:10The recent constant complaints and now contenders and title challengers!
14:15Again!
14:16Oh man!
14:17This one has got super, super messy and that might be...
14:21Xavier Woods down for the count here!
14:23Kingston will have to do this on his own!
14:25But it's looking highly unlikely!
14:28Elbow to the jaw, completely rocking Kofi Kingston and weight up!
14:33This is where Dragon Lee is most dangerous!
14:36The double stop right into a Styles Clash possibly here!
14:43Wow!
14:45To retain!
14:48One, two, three!
14:51Here are your winners, and still the World Tag Team Champions!
15:04Dragon Lee and the phenomenal AJ Styles!
15:10Well I've seen about a million Styles clashes over my years
15:14but I've never seen one quite like that!
15:17just perfect timing from the tag champs a great cap from AJ Styles victory secured
