00:00:00His presence is felt everywhere tonight.
00:00:06We'll talk about a presence, a menacing presence at that,
00:00:13and a victorious presence after what we saw in the men's War Games match at Survivor Series.
00:00:23Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, WWE Hall of Famer,
00:00:29The Oracle, Paul Heyman, The Maverick, Logan Paul, Big Bronson Reed, and Braun Breaker, The Vision.
00:00:44The group that made up the core of the War Games win on Saturday.
00:00:48From Bronson Tsunami to Logan Splash Save to Breaker's winning spear,
00:00:54we will be joined by the War Games victors, next, of the vision.
00:01:00We'll be joined by the War Games.
00:01:29We saw the vision for the vision.
00:01:33The mastermind who is always one step ahead of the competition,
00:01:38Paul Heyman claims he has nothing to do with that hooded figure
00:01:42who was pivotal in the Vision et al's victory in the War Games match at Survivor Series.
00:01:48Some have their doubts.
00:01:50I'm going to take him on face value.
00:01:51value, however, we did hear earlier tonight.
00:01:56Paul Heyman wanted to enter a little politics with GM Adam Pearce regarding his charge.
00:02:03Braun Breaker, who pinned the World Heavyweight Champs CM Punk in the War Games match.
00:02:09Put your money where you now, there's no stalling with me.
00:02:13I've climbed to the highest point, there's no falling with me.
00:02:16Yeah, this is your moment.
00:02:18You better hope it.
00:02:19Go on tonight until there's nothing more.
00:02:22I'm now testing.
00:02:23Beat it.
00:02:24In Vegas, everything's a game.
00:02:36Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
00:02:43Just tension.
00:02:45Every move measured.
00:02:47Every look.
00:02:49A strategy sharpened.
00:02:53Always watching your back.
00:03:00Prepared for anything.
00:03:02Never knowing who the real threat is.
00:03:17Or who might show up at the table.
00:03:29WrestleMania Vegas.
00:03:30It's anyone's game.
00:03:36It is an awesome week of guests on the WWE podcast.
00:04:00LA Knight is headed to the finals to see if he will meet up with John Cena.
00:04:04He's the Raw Recap guest with Sam and Megan.
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.
00:04:18And Bayley is the guest with The Undertaker.
00:04:20The vision has taken over the ring here in Arizona.
00:04:32Of course, they spent most of Saturday night's post-Survivor Series War Games encounter ignoring any and all questions about the hooded mystery man.
00:04:40Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
00:04:48You're going to have to indulge me tonight with a few shout-outs.
00:04:53Shout-out to Barack Lesnar.
00:04:58You, sir, you, sir, are still like no other human on the face of the planet.
00:05:06You 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.
00:05:29This man tsunamied everyone on the other side to the point where none of them were ever going to 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 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, CM Punk,
00:06:51will 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,
00:07:08Branda Breaker!
00:07:12Wow!
00:07:13Wow!
00:07:14Wow!
00:07:14Wow!
00:07:15Wow!
00:07:15Wow!
00:07:16Wow!
00:07:17Wow!
00:07:17Wow!
00:07:18Wow!
00:07:19Wow!
00:07:20Wow!
00:07:21Wow!
00:07:22Wow!
00:07:23Wow!
00:07:24Wow!
00:07:25Wow!
00:07:26Wow!
00:07:27Wow!
00:07:28Wow!
00:07:29Wow!
00:07:30Wow!
00:07:31Wow!
00:07:32I'm a little bit upset tonight,
00:07:40and it's not because of where we are.
00:07:42It's not because of the hooded guy,
00:07:45Batman or whoever the hell that was
00:07:47that jumped the cage on Saturday
00:07:49and tried to ruin my moment.
00:07:52I'm upset,
00:07:54almost disappointed, really,
00:07:56how easy it was to pin CM Punk.
00:08:00because I thought I was going to have to reach into my bag
00:08:07and find this courage,
00:08:10this different level of athleticism,
00:08:13this different level,
00:08:14go to a place that I've never been before
00:08:17to face the guy that I grew up watching,
00:08:20that I heard about,
00:08:21that I heard all the stories of the greatness of CM Punk,
00:08:24only for me to stand across from him
00:08:26and realize that CM Punk is nothing but a soft-ass bitch.
00:08:30What?
00:08:41CM Punk is no different than any other veteran
00:08:44that has lived off of past glory.
00:08:48He's no different than Seth Rollins
00:08:50being a narcissistic piece of garbage
00:08:52at the top of the mountain,
00:08:54holding everyone else down,
00:08:55when really,
00:08:56he should be worried
00:08:57about the war going on inside of his own home,
00:09:00that his wife
00:09:01is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:03CM Punk is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:21CM Punk is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:24CM Punk is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:25CM Punk is a bigger star than he is.
00:09:26On January 5th,
00:09:29it's gonna be a fight,
00:09:31but it's gonna be a different kind of fight.
00:09:32CM Punk, I promise you, because on Saturday, you tried to break my neck, you tried to ruin my life, you tried to ruin my dream, everything that I've ever worked for in my entire life.
00:09:48You tried to take that away from me, so I'm... Listen to me, Punk, I'm gonna ruin your life. I'm coming for your career. I'm coming for every good memory that these people remember you for. I'm coming for it all.
00:10:09And oh, I didn't forget, this is for you, by the way, I hope you're watching at home. You remember last year at WrestleMania backstage when you came up to me in the back in the hallway, and you said, well, congratulations on all the success, kid. Let's see if you can cut a promo with the big dogs now.
00:10:26Well, la-dee-da, consider the promo cut, because on January 5th, when you're on your ass looking up at the lights, and I'm standing over you, and they announce me as the new heavyweight champion of the world,
00:10:42you will look into my eyes with your beady, stupid face, and realize you are not even close to the badass Braun Breaker, the real best in the world!
00:10:59Damn!
00:11:00Oh, are you kidding me?
00:11:02My God, Joe Tess, an incendiary promo from Braun Breaker that scarily will pale in comparison to the kind of...
00:11:12the physicality that he will bring on the opening war of 2026, when he faces world heavyweight champ, CM Punk!
00:11:22That 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 at Survivor Series?
00:11:41Do you know anything new?
00:11:42Jay, man, Jackie, no.
00:11:44I don't know nothing about nothing.
00:11:45Jay, man, it's me!
00:11:47What about Braun Breaker?
00:11:48Do you have any thoughts on that?
00:11:51He just became the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:11:56Jackie, I don't give a damn about no Braun Breaker.
00:12:00I don't give a damn about no vision right now.
00:12:01A 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.
00:12:13That's what I know, Jackie O.
00:12:17Hey, hey, you know what?
00:12:18You know what?
00:12:19Matter of fact, Roman said it best.
00:12:21Them titles look best on his shoulders.
00:12:23They're not mine.
00:12:27Cyber Monday is here, and the clock is ticking.
00:12:37WWE Shop has dropped exclusive deals just for you.
00:12:42Add the hottest gear, the latest spits, and load up for the holiday season.
00:12:46Visit WWE Shop and make your holidays legendary.
00:12:49Now, Rio and EO, they are warming up.
00:12:58They've got their sights set on a shot at the championship,
00:13:02but it's the recent War Games team-based turn opposition.
00:13:05Charlotte and Alexa Bliss await tonight.
00:13:19The following is a semi-final match,
00:13:46and the last time in the tournament,
00:13:50it is the race from Vienna, Austria,
00:13:54weighted at 250 pounds,
00:13:59the ring general,
00:14:02Gunther!
00:14:05Well, since he has come back,
00:14:06we have seen an elevated version of the one of the skilled and powerful,
00:14:10incredibly damaging superstars.
00:14:12Gunther, in this tournament,
00:14:15to see who will have the historic honor
00:14:18of being John Cena's final opponent.
00:14:21The semi-finals against Solo Sokoa next.
00:14:25What a matchup!
00:14:42Wade Barrett, there has been an edge to Gunther since he has returned,
00:14:52and it's in the midst of this last-timers-now tournament.
00:14:56Well, a lot of us in WWE have been watching this man for many years,
00:15:01including his time in NXT UK, NXT,
00:15:03and, of course, on Raw and SmackDown,
00:15:06and you can count losses practically on one hand.
00:15:12Gunther 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.
00:15:22You don't get to choose the cards.
00:15:48Only how you play them.
00:15:49I've set a tables like this my whole life.
00:15:55Shoot for the sky!
00:15:56Taken some hits.
00:15:58We ain't finishing no story.
00:16:01Went all in a few times, and I'm still here.
00:16:07I don't waste time worrying about opponents.
00:16:12I was built for this moment,
00:16:14and everyone after it.
00:16:16Wrestlemania Vegas, it's anyone's game.
00:16:23And here's the opponent of COMPANY,
00:16:51Fightcala Tunga!
00:16:54From as big as Nevada,
00:16:56we're getting her 250 pounds.
00:17:01Soto!
00:17:04Sikoa!
00:17:06One bad, bad dude,
00:17:08followed by one big, big dude,
00:17:11and that could spell trouble,
00:17:13but Gunther's plans to conquer this tournament.
00:17:16These two going head-to-head imminently
00:17:20for a place in the final of the Last Time Is Now tournament.
00:17:24We won't be back in the last time we're taking it all.
00:17:27We ain't no good at the door.
00:17:28Drop it down.
00:17:29There are moments where every second feels like a month,
00:17:47and there are moments where 25 years feels like a second.
00:17:53My lens through what WWE is,
00:17:56is like 220 dates a year,
00:17:59five dates a week,
00:18:00a different town every night.
00:18:02And there are just gaps that I can't even...
00:18:05Like, I don't know what happened in 2006.
00:18:08You know, like, uh...
00:18:10But 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...
00:18:15Oh, I remember that.
00:18:17That's where, like, the decades feel like seconds.
00:18:21Well, you probably just saw Tom Rinaldi
00:18:23on 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
00:18:32on WWE's YouTube.
00:18:34The final match,
00:18:36the final week of John Cena.
00:18:38Of course, Saturday night's main event,
00:18:40Washington, D.C., December 13th.
00:18:43It is time to see who can draw closer,
00:18:46get to the finals,
00:18:47who can have that historic opportunity.
00:18:51There is Solo Sokoa,
00:18:52who was in the midst of a highly competitive
00:18:53quarterfinal match last week,
00:18:55and this is how he advanced.
00:18:57Solo was taking on the high-flying Penta.
00:18:59Penta went high risk with that hurricanrana,
00:19:01but just landed badly,
00:19:03injuring the shoulder,
00:19:05unable to compete per our medical staff,
00:19:08which gave Solo a pass through
00:19:10to tonight's semifinal.
00:19:13And he's going to be sidelined
00:19:15for an as-yet undetermined amount of time.
00:19:17We wish him the best,
00:19:18and we will keep you posted.
00:19:20Well, listen, Wade,
00:19:21you hear it all the time
00:19:23in tournament action,
00:19:24in any sport,
00:19:24survive and advance.
00:19:26And the last time is now tournament semifinals.
00:19:30If you advance,
00:19:32you will be in the finals
00:19:33on SmackDown against L.A. Knight.
00:19:37Of course,
00:19:38the massive prize.
00:19:40We've said it earlier.
00:19:41Titles, championships,
00:19:42they come and go.
00:19:44Retiring John Cena once,
00:19:46and it will cement a legacy.
00:19:49Who will take a step closer right here?
00:19:52Gunther and Solo Sokoa,
00:19:54we are underway.
00:19:55Yeah, and I'm going to add to that,
00:19:56Joe Tess,
00:19:57I agree with everything you just said,
00:19:59but I'm going to put that final match
00:20:01of John Cena's up there
00:20:02on a par with breaking
00:20:04the Undertaker's Street.
00:20:06We saw Brock Lesnar do that
00:20:08many, many years ago,
00:20:09and we have not stopped talking about it.
00:20:11Whoever has that final match
00:20:13with John Cena,
00:20:14who retires John Cena,
00:20:16especially if they can beat John Cena
00:20:19on the way out,
00:20:20we will be talking about it for decades.
00:20:22Remember, L.A. Knight defeated Jey Uso
00:20:25earlier tonight,
00:20:26and now to see who advances
00:20:28to face L.A. Knight.
00:20:30Then December 13th,
00:20:32the winner against Cena,
00:20:33the ultimate prize
00:20:35in the industry right now.
00:20:37This is such an interesting collision
00:20:39between these two in the ring.
00:20:41Oftentimes, they use similar playbooks.
00:20:43It might come down to
00:20:44who is the better at cheating
00:20:46in this particular match,
00:20:48and I would have to get a,
00:20:49give a significant edge
00:20:52to Solo Sokoa
00:20:53based on the fact
00:20:54that there's this
00:20:55almost seven foot tall
00:20:57Talatonga
00:20:59menacingly stalking
00:21:01the outside of the ring,
00:21:02and the ring general
00:21:03Gunther
00:21:04has to have
00:21:05his wits about him
00:21:06at all times.
00:21:07Yeah, try calling the match
00:21:08with Talatonga
00:21:09choosing to stand
00:21:10right in front of me here,
00:21:11nearly seven foot tall,
00:21:12the imposing figure,
00:21:14the menacing force
00:21:15for Solo Sokoa.
00:21:18Now these two have indeed clashed
00:21:21although it was several years ago.
00:21:23They competed back
00:21:24in their NXT days
00:21:25and though both have massively,
00:21:28massively grown and developed
00:21:29since then.
00:21:30There's not a lot we can read
00:21:31into that particular match
00:21:32although for the record,
00:21:33the winner on that occasion
00:21:35was Gunther.
00:21:37First Gunther in NXT UK champ,
00:21:39Solo Sokoa,
00:21:40an NXT North American champ.
00:21:43Solo went on to be
00:21:43a United States champion,
00:21:45Gunther a two-time heavyweight champion
00:21:46and the 666-day longest title reign
00:21:51in history
00:21:52as the Intercontinental champion
00:21:54for the IC belt,
00:21:56that reign.
00:21:58Now Gunther trying to pick up
00:21:59the offense
00:22:00as they test each other's size
00:22:02and strength
00:22:03back and forth,
00:22:04center of the ring.
00:22:06Both a couple of powerhouses
00:22:07made of granite
00:22:08and the first shot landed,
00:22:11the first big one
00:22:13goes in favor of Solo Sokoa.
00:22:15That is a big, big
00:22:16mental momentum builder.
00:22:20Solo Sokoa's got his hands full
00:22:22over on Friday night's SmackDown.
00:22:24Problems brewing
00:22:25with Uncle Howdy
00:22:26and the Wyatt Six.
00:22:27Needs to put that
00:22:28to the back of his mind
00:22:29for now at least.
00:22:30We saw that
00:22:31with the traditional
00:22:31Survivor Series match
00:22:33the other night.
00:22:34Big boot
00:22:35from the ring general.
00:22:38Semi-final action
00:22:39to advance
00:22:40and the last time
00:22:41is now tournament.
00:22:42It was a very interesting
00:22:53opening pace
00:22:54to this match
00:22:55and then things
00:22:55heated up
00:22:56moments ago
00:22:57and now Solo Sokoa
00:22:58out to the floor.
00:23:00You see Talatanga
00:23:01standing over him.
00:23:02This is interesting.
00:23:03Normally Gunther
00:23:03would want to follow up
00:23:05on Solo Sokoa
00:23:05on the floor there.
00:23:06The reason he didn't,
00:23:07I would have to assume,
00:23:08is because Solo Sokoa's
00:23:11partner in crime
00:23:12right next to him,
00:23:13Talatanga,
00:23:14was lurking
00:23:14and Gunther
00:23:15fought twice
00:23:16which has given
00:23:17Solo Sokoa
00:23:18essentially
00:23:19a standing nine count
00:23:21there to get back
00:23:22in the ring.
00:23:23Although straight back
00:23:24into danger
00:23:25and Gunther on the offense.
00:23:27Yeah, driving down
00:23:28those elbows
00:23:29and now he is going to
00:23:30follow him out there,
00:23:31Wade.
00:23:31Too close.
00:23:32Oh, big shot.
00:23:35I mean a massive shot.
00:23:39Look at that steam ball.
00:23:41Not many people
00:23:42make Gunther
00:23:43look small.
00:23:45He's seven foot tall.
00:23:47There's an uppercut
00:23:47from Sokoa.
00:23:49He's catching the eye
00:23:50of Gunther there.
00:23:51Rock the big man.
00:23:54Oh, right into the post.
00:23:56Solo Sokoa
00:23:57knows full well
00:23:58that he has to.
00:23:59Oh!
00:24:01Oh!
00:24:01Man, he may have damaged
00:24:02that right hand
00:24:04and Gunther goes right
00:24:05back to it.
00:24:06Missing on the spike.
00:24:07How smart is that
00:24:08of Gunther?
00:24:09That is the big
00:24:10danger shot
00:24:11from Solo Sokoa
00:24:12first crashing
00:24:13against that
00:24:15steel ring post
00:24:17and then on the attack
00:24:19ever since
00:24:19aiming at that thumb
00:24:21trying to smash
00:24:22the hand of Solo Sokoa
00:24:23and take away
00:24:24his biggest weapon.
00:24:26You can see Solo
00:24:27trying to inspect
00:24:28his stuff.
00:24:28Oh!
00:24:29And now on top
00:24:29of the steel steps.
00:24:31He's in Talatonga
00:24:32desperately wanting
00:24:32to get involved
00:24:33but a disqualification
00:24:34here for Solo Sokoa
00:24:36will eliminate him
00:24:37from the tournament.
00:24:39So Talat
00:24:39has to be
00:24:40incredibly careful
00:24:41here.
00:24:42Oh!
00:24:43He was
00:24:44because the referee
00:24:46the second
00:24:47he turned his back
00:24:48Talat
00:24:49like a sprinter
00:24:51pounced
00:24:51sweeping the ledge
00:24:53of the ring general.
00:24:55You might not like it
00:24:56but that is
00:24:57devastatingly effective
00:24:59for one of the
00:25:00the MFTs.
00:25:11And what?
00:25:12Reigns down
00:25:12from Solo Sokoa.
00:25:13A perhaps
00:25:14pivotal turning point
00:25:16in this match
00:25:17that intervention
00:25:18by Talatonga
00:25:20was
00:25:20and there's no letter
00:25:23whatsoever
00:25:24from the former
00:25:25street fighting
00:25:26champ of the
00:25:27islands
00:25:27who knows
00:25:28how to fight
00:25:28dirty.
00:25:28look at this scene
00:25:48here in Glendale,
00:25:49Arizona.
00:25:50Massive crowd at Desert Diamond
00:25:52Arena.
00:25:52Things have changed
00:25:53with Gunther and Solo Sokoa
00:25:55and that is because
00:25:57of the presence
00:25:57of the enforcer
00:25:58of Solo Sokoa,
00:25:59Talatonga.
00:26:00Now this was the second
00:26:01the referee turned
00:26:02his back on Talatonga.
00:26:04So smart
00:26:05by the MFT
00:26:06sweeping the legs
00:26:08of Gunther
00:26:09and finally giving Solo
00:26:10a massive upper hand
00:26:12here.
00:26:13Gunther once again
00:26:14trying to go for
00:26:15that weak spot
00:26:16got a couple of shots
00:26:17on the hand of
00:26:18Solo Sokoa
00:26:19a little earlier
00:26:20in this matchup
00:26:21and now trying to
00:26:22fight back from underneath.
00:26:23Yeah, Gunther dominated
00:26:25the first two rounds
00:26:26of this last time
00:26:26and now tournament
00:26:27to see who faces
00:26:28John Cena
00:26:29in Cena's final match.
00:26:31It was Javon Evans
00:26:31and Carmelo Hayes
00:26:33that he got through.
00:26:34This is a very different
00:26:36beast, Wade,
00:26:36with Solo Sokoa.
00:26:38Completely different
00:26:39kind of animal
00:26:40and perhaps animal
00:26:41is the right word
00:26:42because the mentality
00:26:43of Solo Sokoa
00:26:45is to be merciless
00:26:46and unyielding
00:26:48when he has the upper hand.
00:26:49This is a perfect moment
00:26:51for Solo Sokoa
00:26:52to take a little breather
00:26:53knowing full well
00:26:55he has the big Austrian
00:26:56opponent hurt
00:26:57at this point
00:26:58and unable to attack.
00:27:00You can see Gunther
00:27:01reaching for his back
00:27:02oh, chop down
00:27:03to the back of the neck.
00:27:05Gunther himself
00:27:05was trying to take advantage
00:27:07moments ago
00:27:07when Solo Sokoa
00:27:09went for the Samo
00:27:10and Spike
00:27:10but hit the ring post
00:27:11and then Gunther
00:27:12was targeting
00:27:12that thumb
00:27:14and now back to the chop.
00:27:15this time
00:27:23Gunther
00:27:23locking it up.
00:27:25So rare
00:27:26you see a block
00:27:26like that
00:27:27on a body slam
00:27:28but so technically
00:27:29astute.
00:27:30Meanwhile
00:27:30oh
00:27:32but he collapses down
00:27:33this to advance
00:27:34to the finals.
00:27:35Well two things
00:27:36Solo Sokoa
00:27:37is a massive
00:27:38massive human being
00:27:39he is just
00:27:40as thick
00:27:41as they come
00:27:42but combine that
00:27:43with the amount
00:27:44of headbutt attacks
00:27:45that he has fired
00:27:46at the lower back
00:27:47of Gunther
00:27:48and Gunther
00:27:49simply didn't
00:27:50have the power
00:27:51to make that
00:27:52body slam stick.
00:27:54Two veteran superstars
00:27:55who know
00:27:56what it means
00:27:57to win championships
00:27:58but you talk to
00:27:59everybody around
00:28:00this arena today
00:28:02and they say
00:28:03the big prize
00:28:04the one everybody
00:28:05wants
00:28:05is the chance
00:28:06to retire
00:28:07John Cena
00:28:08this is a semi-final
00:28:09win here
00:28:10and you face
00:28:11LA Knight
00:28:12in the finals
00:28:12of the tournament.
00:28:14Willie has turned
00:28:15to speed
00:28:16for Gunther
00:28:16at this point
00:28:17the power game
00:28:18simply isn't working
00:28:19that's normally
00:28:20in his bag of tricks
00:28:22it's not going to work
00:28:23against Solo Sokoa
00:28:24not when you're
00:28:25half beaten down
00:28:26like the former
00:28:27world heavyweight chap
00:28:28is right now.
00:28:30Gunther quick
00:28:30to his feet
00:28:31and catching Solo
00:28:32on top of the rope
00:28:33and now going up
00:28:34himself.
00:28:37this has really
00:28:39turned into a war
00:28:40of attrition
00:28:41with these two giants
00:28:44all that size
00:28:45and weight
00:28:46crashing down
00:28:47and you could see
00:28:49the ring shake
00:28:51but of course
00:28:51executing that move
00:28:53even though Gunther
00:28:54was the man
00:28:54performing it
00:28:56that superplex
00:28:57there
00:28:57landing on his own
00:28:58lower back
00:28:59in the process
00:29:00you see him turn
00:29:01try to avoid it
00:29:02still catches
00:29:03his own lumbar spine
00:29:05and it's not the
00:29:06snubbing out of Gunther
00:29:07as it did
00:29:08Solo Sokoa
00:29:09Winner here
00:29:19will be one
00:29:20win away
00:29:21from being
00:29:22John Cena's
00:29:23final opponent
00:29:24that historic pedestal
00:29:26that everybody
00:29:27desires
00:29:28this is how they
00:29:29started off the
00:29:30match
00:29:31and they're getting
00:29:31right back to it
00:29:33towing the line
00:29:34center of the ring
00:29:35just two
00:29:36immovable objects

00:29:38and something
00:29:39has to give tonight
00:29:41oh what a chop
00:29:48big right hand
00:29:50as durable
00:29:51and tough
00:29:51as they come
00:29:52just wincing
00:29:52in pain
00:29:53under this
00:29:54barrage
00:29:55of attacks
00:29:55from one another
00:29:56and refusing
00:29:57to go down

00:40:04It'll either be Gunther or L.A. Knight.
00:40:08We find out on L.A.C.C., my man.
00:40:11L.A.C.C.
00:40:20Margarita.
00:40:21Skinny.
00:40:22Tajin.
00:40:22Spicy.
00:40:25You know, to survive by being lucky,
00:40:27you survive by being good.
00:40:33Sometimes I think they forget
00:40:35who the greatest female wrestler of all time is.
00:40:39Don't worry.
00:40:40I'll remind them.
00:40:42At WrestleMania Vegas,
00:40:44it's anyone's game.
00:40:57Everybody's don't want to chirp.
00:41:02Nobody wants to say who the Masked Man of Survivor Series was.
00:41:06Adam, everyone I spoke to said they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
00:41:09Ordinary.
00:41:10Except for seeing Seth Rollins.
00:41:12Yeah.
00:41:13Everybody's saying the same thing.
00:41:14All right, man.
00:41:15Do me a favor.
00:41:15Keep me posted.
00:41:16I appreciate it.
00:41:17Thanks.
00:41:17Speaking about Seth Rollins...
00:41:20Gentlemen.
00:41:21Word around town is they saw him walking without his little sling.
00:41:24Yeah, I heard the same thing.
00:41:25I don't know.
00:41:26Medical's saying something else,
00:41:27but I'm guessing you're not here to talk about Seth.
00:41:28Nope.
00:41:29We defended these championships tonight.
00:41:31Yes, you did.
00:41:31We want to do it again.
00:41:32When?
00:41:33Next week.
00:41:34I love it.
00:41:35Against a deserving team.
00:41:36Okay.
00:41:37I'm all ears.
00:41:38Maybe one that didn't get a rematch.
00:41:39I know what you're talking about.
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:42We won War Raiders.
00:41:44War Raiders.
00:41:45The War Raiders.
00:41:46They didn't get a rematch.
00:41:47You're absolutely right.
00:41:48Next week?
00:41:48You like it?
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:50Let's go ahead.
00:41:51I love it.
00:41:51World Tag Team titles on the line.
00:41:53AJ, Dragon League versus the War Raiders next week.
00:41:57You're the best.
00:41:57You're the best.
00:41:58Is that a white or pink shirt?
00:42:00Well, this would be a...
00:42:01I like it.
00:42:02I like it, too.
00:42:02I like having fighting champions.
00:42:04That's what I like.
00:42:05Well, War Games has come and gone.
00:42:10The mission accomplished.
00:42:11Now the two future Hall of Famers can lock in on what they want.
00:42:14They're searching for gold.
00:42:16Charlotte and Alexa against their weekend teammates, Rhea and Io.
00:42:20That is next.
00:42:35It has been a transformative night, to say the least, right here in Glendale, Arizona for Monday Night Raw.
00:42:47And I say that because we now know which two superstars are headed to the finals of the last time-as-now tournament.
00:42:55By virtue of their victories in the semifinals, we now know that this Friday night, live on SmackDown,
00:43:00it will be the ring general, Gunther, going one-on-one with L.A. Night.
00:43:06Now the other half of tonight's transformative evening is the fact that in just a few moments,
00:43:10we're going to witness a match we've never seen here in WWE.
00:43:14As that tag team main event will feature Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss taking on Io, Sky, and Rhea Ripley.
00:43:22And you...
00:43:24Hey, Glendale, you having fun right now?
00:43:31I bet you are. This is the best time to be a WWE fan.
00:43:36This is the best time to be a WWE superstar if you're hand-picked.
00:43:41If you're chosen.
00:43:42And the New Day and Grayson Waller, we're not hand-picked.
00:43:44We have to fight for everything.
00:43:46Some superstars come out here, they say the champion's name,
00:43:50and they get handed a championship match.
00:43:53Six months they've been fighting for this.
00:43:55And tonight what happens?
00:43:57The dumbest rep on the roster.
00:43:58Same IQ as everyone in here, about 45.
00:44:02Counts slow for the New Day.
00:44:05Fast for Dragon Lee and AJ Styles.
00:44:07And isn't it crazy that he's the one running around backstage for Adam Pearce?
00:44:13Isn't that wild that the same referee whose friends with Pearce had your match?
00:44:17Real coincidence.
00:44:18Real coincidence.
00:44:19It's wild.
00:44:19Some superstars get weeks to prepare.
00:44:24Full training camps.
00:44:25Six days for the New Day.
00:44:27Why?
00:44:27And then the War Raiders, did we just see them get handed a championship match?
00:44:32They haven't even been here for the last two months.
00:44:35Why do the War Raiders have a chance at the title?
00:44:38They haven't earned it.
00:44:39We earned it.
00:44:40We earned it.
00:44:41We earned it every single day.
00:44:43Every time we earned it.
00:44:44And we earned it.
00:44:45Because we've given you people, you undeserving people, our lives, our bodies for the last two months.
00:44:51Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
00:44:53You are not disrespecting the New Day.
00:44:56This is the greatest tag team of all time.
00:44:59And we are leaving by our choice.
00:45:03Thank you, I guess, for whatever this was.
00:45:08I hope you guys settle your grievances soon.
00:45:11Thank you, New Day.
00:45:13Thank you, Grayson Waller.
00:45:14We are going to be here for this.
00:45:19This is not right.
00:45:21It's not right.
00:45:23It's wrong.
00:45:24How dare you?
00:45:25It's all going to be a great weekend in Montreal.
00:45:30Friday night's SmackDown and Saturday night's main event
00:45:33are coming to the Bell Center in Montreal.
00:45:35It will be Friday, January 23rd, Saturday the 24th.
00:45:38Combo tickets are available now.
00:45:40Individual tickets on sale this Friday via Ticketmaster.
00:45:47As for Raw next week, we're in Kansas City,
00:45:51and it's going to be the Countdown to Greatness.
00:45:53The winner of the Last Time Is Now tournament,
00:45:56five values prior to facing John Cena.
00:45:59They will be with us live, Gunther or LA Nightwing.
00:46:02And there is so much more coming because fighting champs by nature
00:46:07have the victory earlier tonight.
00:46:09AJ Styles and Dragon League put tag gold on the line
00:46:13against the former champs, the War Raiders.
00:46:15Next week on Raw, and the pain of Dirty Dom's existence,
00:46:22the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
00:46:25He's going to take on Judgment Day Clubhouse legend, Finn Balor.
00:46:30Next week on Raw, Rob's KC.
00:46:33That is next week on Raw.
00:46:34Right now, let's go backstage to Jackie Redman.
00:46:40Tess, thank you so much.
00:46:41I'm backstage with Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
00:46:45Rey, it's official.
00:46:46Next week, you'll face Finn Balor.
00:46:48So, where's your head at as you get set for that?
00:46:51Jackie, we all know that the main issue is with my bastard son, Dominic.
00:46:55But as long as he keeps hiding behind the Judgment Day,
00:46:58I have no problem going through them one at a time.
00:47:03Fair enough.
00:47:04Listen, with Dom reclaiming that Intercontinental Championship,
00:47:07I'd be remiss, Rey, if I didn't ask if there's a chance we see you
00:47:10take another run at the IC title.
00:47:13That still hasn't been ruled out.
00:47:15So, yes, there is a big possibility.
00:47:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:47:20The IC title.
00:47:22Not to interrupt your little video here,
00:47:24but it was just on my way to my private jet.
00:47:28Seems as if I stumbled upon some crazy talk.
00:47:31Logan Paul.
00:47:32If it isn't the one guy who might be more of an ass than my own son.
00:47:37Rey, stop, Rey.
00:47:39I'm six foot three.
00:47:41You're three foot six.
00:47:42I'm a great father.
00:47:44You're a deadbeat dad, according to your own son.
00:47:47And I don't know if you heard, Mr. Out of Touch,
00:47:49but the IC title belongs to the Vision,
00:47:53the most dominant force on Raw.
00:47:55So, I'm actually glad I stopped by,
00:47:58because consider this a warning.
00:48:00You need to step down.
00:48:04Or else,
00:48:07who's gonna stop me?
00:48:11Pendejo.
00:48:13Oh, wait.
00:48:15I'm not just gonna stop you.
00:48:17I'm gonna retire you.
00:48:19You're gonna pay for that one!
00:48:26You're gonna pay for that one!
00:48:27You're gonna pay for that one!
00:48:27Come on!
00:48:29I swear to God,
00:48:31you're gonna pay for that one!
00:48:32You can't pay for nothing!
00:48:33You're broke!
00:48:34You're broke, Rey!
00:48:35A lot of people enjoyed that slap.
00:48:36All hail the Queen!
00:48:51All hail the Queen!
00:49:21The following contest is a tag team match in the 4-1 fall.
00:49:36Introducing first, the team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
00:49:45Now Alexa Bliss should take a lot of pride in the War Games, they're instrumental in having
00:49:54that super team come together, especially with Charlotte and everything that was resolved
00:49:58with Rhea Ripley and then Charlotte playing such a big role from Friday right through
00:50:02Saturday night.
00:50:03While War Games was a massive event, but refocusing now because that's in the rear view mirror
00:50:10and these two want their tag goal back.
00:50:13They lost it to the Kabuki Warriors several weeks ago and as Charlotte told us earlier
00:50:17tonight, they never got a rematch.
00:50:20Well, win this evening and it may well augment your argument in the eyes of management.
00:50:43Talking about more, Charlotte always wants more, one of the greatest resumes in history but
00:51:00never satiated.
00:51:02David wants the gold back.
00:51:03ASAP.
00:51:04Here are two who want gold as well.
00:51:09This is what we're telling us now!
00:51:11This is what we're telling us now!
00:51:16This is what we're telling us now!
00:51:18This is what we're telling us now!
00:51:19This is what we're telling us now!
00:51:23Heave you!
00:51:24That's your team!
00:51:25I'll be asleep
00:51:39and she's back to the black protective mask for her broken nose tonight but for war games
00:52:04ria had that art the clown inspired mask from the parafire horror film she's a massive fan she said
00:52:14hey david howard's birthday was saturday he's the actor who plays that role art the clown that was
00:52:20an incredible scene saturday as was the entire effort by eo sky trading now a war game tradition
00:52:26wait four years in a row that eo sky has pulled off the top of the cage in a garbage can
00:52:31each one more insane than the last these two of course did battle with the kabuki warriors a few
00:52:42weeks back perk australia crown jewel they were victorious on that occasion gold was not part of
00:52:49the equation back then things have changed since and now looking to get themselves to a position
00:52:56where they get an opportunity at the kabuki warriors victory here may well do it for them
00:53:12everybody on their feet when they hear this is my brutality ria ripley eo sky against charlotte flair
00:53:22and alexa bliss i think everybody was shocked that here we are just 48 hours after the women's war
00:53:29games when these were teammates with aj lee and coming up with the victory and you know people reflect
00:53:36on recent weeks in terms of the trust that ria confined in charlotte well it was flair who got ria
00:53:42out of the way of oscars missed the other night so that trust was definitely there this friendlier
00:53:48version of this relationship of heated rivals that shared history through the years i don't think
00:53:52they're ever going to be friends and that won't help things no it won't but it has to be said
00:53:57relations perhaps i've thought somewhat versus where they were at the accidental big boot by charlotte as
00:54:06she lets ria know hey obviously right now i'm not surprised about charlotte putting aside during war
00:54:13games first and foremost charlotte is a winner question about whether she will be a winner tonight
00:54:19in this one
00:54:28rio looked over a moment ago to check on ria ripley ria's down and out on the floor after charlotte came
00:54:37charging in
00:54:42good shoulder tapper from the 14-time world champion i'll tell you right now that big boot to the face
00:54:48of ria ripley ria rippley's got that protective mask on her nose but it still has impact on the nose
00:54:55when you kick the mask it's not bulletproof in the sense that there's no damage incurred whatsoever in it
00:55:01bernie a really stung ria ripley rib now back on the apron while charlotte does her thing incredible
00:55:07actually flair is every which way you can see ria adjusting her jaw there and giving a stare right
00:55:14through charlotte well she heard the apologies from charlotte i'm sure i'm not quite sure that she
00:55:20believes they were sincere and the history of charlotte flair makes it rather unpredictable either way
00:55:27and now alexa bliss into action against eoskye
00:55:41basement drop kick nasty landing though for eoskye still hurting after war games in fact all four of
00:55:47these women will be and one of the keys to victory here has to be figuring out where the weak spots are
00:55:52on your opponents are making a concerted effort to attack them and that is exactly what ria rippley
00:56:00did they everybody
00:56:04charlotte again is quickly trying to explain herself is real questioning things oh the forearm right to
00:56:11the lower back of alexa bliss you could have hurt at the best of times even more so when you've just been
00:56:16through war in the war games cage we are bloody rippley knows exactly where the weak spots are on alexa
00:56:25bliss and i'll tell you right now joe you win a match like war games multiple persons on your team
00:56:32if you 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 wow you know when he or she hit me with this
00:56:41really hurt my lower back or it really hurt my elbow and you can use that information in a match
00:56:47like this right now that's interesting you go from teammates 48 hours ago sharing everything oh look
00:56:53at ripley from that prism trap locked in and a tab out here wins this thing in short time prison
00:57:04travel really walked in here as alexa bliss is struggling and now goes from standing and inverted
00:57:11there's no way out here down on the ground ripley a hell of a lot more powerful too
00:57:26back here raw live on netflix from desert diamond arena when the evening began ria ripley and eoskai came
00:57:34out celebrating the victory in women's war games and setting forth their intentions
00:57:39to go after the kabuki warriors to win the tag team world championships they were met
00:57:44by charlotte flair and alexa bliss saying hold on a second we were the recent champs if anybody
00:57:50deserves a shot the kabuki warriors it should be charlotte and alexa well now look back in that
00:57:56prison trap for a second time in this match is alexa bliss who has really struggled with the power
00:58:02game of ria ripley and the body of alexa bliss clearly hurting at the war game that was a smart
00:58:08way out and an inadvertent collision from ria ripley into charlotte flair after the one we saw in reverse
00:58:16a few moments ago yes the match started in inadvertently it was charlotte who landed a big boot
00:58:22on ria and now off the prison trap forced into that corner and it gets reversed as ria sends
00:58:29charlotte off the apron would you look at eoskai the genius of the sky and now you see the teamwork
00:58:36this for the win and alexa bliss is in a really really bad way here of 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
00:58:55trying to reach for charlotte after that meteora attempt and instead a massive right hand from eoskai
00:59:04and return fire from alexa and i think to your point that you made earlier how much was taken
00:59:09out of our competitors with what they had to endure at women's war games wave in the left elbow of eoskai
00:59:16right there you can see tape on the knee of ria ripley the arm of alexa bliss you don't get out of
00:59:24more games unscathed and here we go joe test how good is this going to be those storm relations we
00:59:34talked about a little earlier i think they've iced back over during the course of this match
00:59:40they had settled their differences and the trust was put forth after their face-to-face sit down
00:59:46prior to women's war games on saturday night in san diego it worked out for charlotte and ria
00:59:57that the past is undeniable and here they go
01:00:00two of the greats of this generation the match they had at wrestlemania a couple of years ago in
01:00:11sofi stadium los angeles one of the greatest matches i've ever seen that was one-on-one
01:00:16it's tagged tonight but these two have really only had eyes for one another since that first bow rack
01:00:25massive right hand and then ripley comes back with one of her own
01:00:33flair wants all of it ripley's willing to give it so few people can stand toe-to-toe with ripley
01:00:40like this flair chop oh yeah and another just listen to her she can feel the momentum gathering
01:00:50one more ripley can feel a lot more the momentum oh the big headbutt
01:00:58completely rocking charlotte flair but immediately recovering nice right to that top turnbuckle by
01:01:04flair you just know each other so well they studied each other as opponents in the past oh
01:01:11from down to up and delivering the kick this is great stuff between ripley and flair here in arizona
01:01:23wait exactly what you would expect between these two just a stalemate between two alpha females
01:01:31who completely run this industry when it comes to women's wrestling
01:01:36star power and ability does not get any higher but it's ripley who's able to tag out of there and
01:01:44getting the relatively and i use that word loosely fresh
01:01:48eo sky she flexes eo sky as the legal member here of this team as she delivers the kick
01:01:57to charlotte every move of eo sky is with a limp with a grimace
01:02:03little stumble on the ropes very out of character tells you all about how the body of eo's been
01:02:09oh out onto the floor
01:02:15the genius of the sky running on pure adrenaline
01:02:21taking out both opponents here and now in the drop zone has to be charlotte flair not what you want
01:02:28to be against an aerial artiste like eo sky so skilled off the top rope missile drop kick but
01:02:36instead flair turns it around but flair just rode that one out and completely turned it into this
01:02:45stretching out the body of eo sky imagine to kick away wow look at sky shoulders are down
01:02:50this is high level skill turning defense into offense in the blink of an eye and now moving like
01:02:58a blur is the genius oh the strength of charlotte flair doing damage to win right here once again it's
01:03:06that power game of charlotte flair that made a massive difference there and that was a nasty landing
01:03:10for eo sky he 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 your breath
01:03:24come up with a game plan because alexa bless her tag partner is still down and perhaps out
01:03:38from women's war games teammates with great respect for each other to now fiery opponents here rhea
01:03:54ripley eo sky against charlotte flair and alexa bliss as both teams have stated their mission that they want
01:04:01to be in position to get the kabuki warriors to have gold of course charlotte and alexa most recently
01:04:09were tag team champions look for these winners have been put through the meat grinder over the past 48 hours
01:04:18after the hell that was war game successful as it may have been for these four this match in and of
01:04:25itself has been brutality personified and again the body of rhea ripley just giving out you simply
01:04:32don't see that happening those are the effects of war games listen the brutality that happened in san
01:04:37diego there's no denying what it has done raises edge and then the missile drop kick what a combination
01:04:47this for the win and charlotte survives it is so frustrating when you are feeling raggedy in there
01:04:56your 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 you can see that on the face of rhea ripley
01:05:10she knows they just gave everything looking for the riptide right here
01:05:14can she deliver the riptide on charlotte flair oh what a turnaround counter ddt by flair
01:05:20spiked right on the top of the head and now a recovered alexa bliss can put this one to bed
01:05:26what a moment by flair oh and now delivering again is bliss the teamwork and somehow ripley survives
01:05:36well rhea ripley has absolutely no clue where she's at but this is why she was perhaps the number one on
01:05:42planet earth that ability to dig deeper than anybody else but it may be for naught now because i think
01:05:49i know exactly what bliss has in mind could it be twisted bliss right here right now knees up knees up
01:05:58right into the gut of bliss perfect timing there from rhea ripley recovered just in the nick of time
01:06:04genius at the sky misses oh what a boot by charlotte the player does not miss
01:06:10and i think that was a tag too oh natural selection coming in could it be sister abigail
01:06:19bliss lined up and delivered sister abigail ddt of the natural selection the save by ripley and it had to be a
01:06:28save joe test that was over io sky's greatest years was never kicking out of those two oh charlotte
01:06:35hung up on the top rope all the big clothesline drapes her over the apron and down to the floor
01:06:39bodies getting wrecked before our eyes competition fierce in the tag ranks how about the pace and
01:06:46violence all of a sudden in the midst of this tag team match well all four women now smell blood we know we
01:06:51are close to an ending here something has to get somebody has to drop it it looks like it could be
01:06:57alexa bliss she escapes out the back door
01:07:05blisters looking to counter with a ddt instead oh now she's got real lined up
01:07:12but instead the headbutt denies the sister abigail ddt looking for riptide slams it down here comes the
01:07:21genius of the sky
01:07:25moonsault lands charlotte 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 unless she dug deep
01:07:43enough to power ripley into the pile that was nothing great stuff here in glendale arizona oh whoa whoa whoa whoa the
01:07:52chance of all the kabuki warriors are interrupting the match and beating down watch in the midst of a great
01:08:00match well just as we were reaching a crescendo four women who have had major problems with attack
01:08:07champs the kabuki warriors over the past several months who have timed this to perfection you want to
01:08:14launch a beat down on the people who defeated you in war games wait till they're exhausted but
01:08:21eoskye got enough left no she doesn't eoskye was so brave to try to stand up to them but now oscar and
