00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00I can't lose.
01:01I'm in the rain, I can hear you.
01:05Welcome to Main Event.
01:12The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:23Introducing first, from Knoxville, Tennessee, representing American made, Ivy Nile.
01:35Says someone who earlier today, as we were getting ready for Main Event tonight, Byron,
01:40you tried to get a few words with, and she told you to, I don't wanna repeat what she said,
01:44but it wasn't very nice.
01:45What did you do to Ivy Nile?
01:46It was a bad judgment call for me.
01:48Ivy Nile looked the same way backstage she looks now, which is perturbed and disturbed.
01:54Well, you can hear from the WWE Universe tonight just what they think of Ivy Nile.
02:06Wait, don't you sing along, Vic.
02:07Don't you dance sing along.
02:09I almost-
02:10I saw your lips going there.
02:11I almost did.
02:12Of course, Clay Coward, not with you this week.
02:14I am Vic Joseph, alongside Byron Saxton.
02:17And Byron, we've moved into the month of December, only a few more weeks left this year.
02:23Isn't it amazing right now, if you're a WWE superstar and you're watching the days tick away as we inch towards 2026,
02:29you're thinking, how can I finish this year as strong as humanly possible?
02:33That's a great point, because before we know it, it will be the Royal Rumble,
02:36and then we will be on the road to WrestleMania.
02:39Isn't that wild?
02:40Every year, goes just by like that.
02:43Just like that.
02:44And this is a woman who really did have a big year, more on that in just a moment.
02:49From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Thea Hale!
03:08Vic, can I get a Hale yeah?
03:11Hell yeah!
03:12That was horrible.
03:13I think I'm the one who coined that on NXT.
03:15Of course, I'm very familiar with Thea Hale, a superstar who's getting the opportunity here tonight.
03:21Also someone who might need to actually think about decaf in the morning.
03:25I don't think so at all.
03:26You like the happiness, you like that.
03:28Energy level, the rambunctious nature, that's what makes Thea Hale who she is.
03:32I'm now not very impressed with Thea Hale.
03:34But Booker T tells me every Tuesday on NXT that Hale has been, and I don't like to use this term, but it's what he said.
03:42She has been misguided during her run in NXT.
03:46NQCC, Chase University, Joe Hendry, do you agree with Booker's assessment?
03:53To an extent, but isn't that part of the maturation of anybody's career?
03:56That's fair.
03:57You make some wrong turns, you make some mistakes, you learn from those humps in the road, and you become better, right?
04:01I mean, it's very fair, and you think about Thea Hale, someone who has competed for the NXT Women's Championship,
04:06someone who now, at this level, competes against Ivy now.
04:09We talk about being the end of the year, looking to make a banner.
04:12What do you mean?
04:13Okay, Thea.
04:14That's a New Year's dance.
04:16I don't know much about it, I'll give you that.
04:20But could this be a launching point for Thea with a victory over someone like Ivy now?
04:24Without question, if you're Thea Hale, you've gone through such an adjustment from your days in Chase U,
04:29being taken more seriously, tweaking your style a little bit, and this is just part of that road.
04:34Pick up a win against Ivy Nile, now you're raising some eyebrows in the women's division,
04:38whether it's Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, as well as NXT.
04:42Able to roll through almost a count there by the official, nice tilt-a-whirl arm drag by Thea Hale,
04:47and recently Hale was under the bright lights in New York City at Cold Rush several weeks ago.
04:52How does an experience like that though, being in the theater of Madison Square Garden,
04:56motivate someone?
04:57She described it to me as surreal, a moment she will never forget for the rest of her life.
05:02Things starting to slow down in this match, I think Ivy Nile is feeling that momentum start to slip away,
05:07as charging right back in is Thea Hale.
05:09And you gotta think Thea has to look to someone like Maxine Dupree and just know in her heart that hard work will pay off.
05:17I'll tell you, Maxine's win of the Women's Intercontinental Championship did so much for every single women's locker room.
05:24It gave hope to a lot of superstars that felt like, yeah, I'll never be in that position to actually contend for a championship.
05:30Well, the same can be said for someone like Ivy Nile.
05:33Take another look.
05:34First, you see the athleticism and bam, that board is getting slammed shut by Ivy Nile.
05:40And I've talked about the year Ivy Nile has had, the opportunity she has had.
05:44Have you seen the growth in ring from Ivy Nile?
05:47I think so.
05:48It starts with the appearance, as silly as that may sound.
05:51But if you look at yourself and you see a different competitor, that translates to your style inside the ring.
05:56You can hear the WWE Universe here.
05:59Look at the smile on Ivy's face, she enjoys it.
06:01It's almost a little bit sinister.
06:02She enjoys the jeers.
06:03Face first goes Thea, bouncing off that top turnbuckle.
06:06And Ivy, who used to train in the Performance Center down in Orlando with Thea, called her an annoying gnat that just won't go away.
06:15And you know that has to fuel Thea Hale.
06:17But right now for Thea, she's gotta get back into the matchup, off the suplex, into the cover, and another kick out.
06:22The thing about, there's pressure on Ivy Nile as well.
06:24Remember when Chad Gable went off into the sunset for a little bit and told Ivy Nile, listen, you're in charge now.
06:30You gotta run the show.
06:31That's still an internal motivation for Ivy Nile.
06:34You've actually seen that a little bit, Byron.
06:36It's a great point.
06:37Let's go see ya!
06:38Great point that you bring up.
06:39Because Ivy really, at that juncture, I think, maybe that's when she started to change her perception about how she viewed things.
06:45Let's not forget, she was contending for championships.
06:48She was in championship conversation.
06:50And I think that was really the jumping point.
06:52For every great superstar that's done amazing things in our industry, they can always pinpoint one moment.
06:58Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, up, over, shoulders down, out of the corner, looking for the upset.
07:03It could have been a win, it could have been a pep talk.
07:05There's always that pivot change, ouch.
07:09Derek Sanders checking on Thea Ivy, seeing her opportunity into the cover.
07:14And another kick out, and Ivy might have just taken a little extra second.
07:17But you saw the striking ability right there from Ivy Nile.
07:20How impressed are you with just the natural strength of Nile?
07:24Ivy's always had the tools.
07:26There's no question about that, there's no argument to be made there.
07:29Ivy Nile has always brought something extremely unique inside the ring.
07:33But as we always say, how do you put it all together?
07:35How do you fill that toolbox to create a successfully sustained career?
07:39Let's go Thea Chance ringing out, Hale trying to rally here in this matchup.
07:46And that's one way to create a little separation, Byron, trying to get back into this matchup.
07:51Thea Hale's gotta dig deep now, firing up a couple shots.
07:55Big forearm under the jaw, firing back with his second one.
07:58Ivy Nile now, a little bit rocked.
08:00Now with the reverse.
08:01Thea Hale holding on.
08:02Big kick right to the chest.
08:04Rocked herself backwards, charges in.
08:06And now, two knees right to the elbow.
08:09Trying to hyperextend, could be setting up for that Camorra lock that we've seen Thea use on NXT time and time again.
08:16Certainly rallying right now.
08:19You can feel Thea Hale's confidence growing by the second.
08:23This is the pace at which she thrives.
08:26And that's a great point you bring up, because it is the pace that she thrives.
08:29Full throttle.
08:31Boom!
08:32Explode her out of the corner.
08:34Right back up.
08:35Big kick right to the face.
08:36Into the cover.
08:37Both shoulders down.
08:38I think we need to be on upset alert, Vic.
08:41So close to that upset.
08:43And I'm glad we agree on that, because this would be an upset for Thea Hale,
08:48who just got countered.
08:49Almost like a dragon sleeper right now.
08:51I thought that's what exactly Ivan I was looking for.
08:53Transitioning right back in, looking for a suplex.
08:55Inside cradle.
08:56Inside cradle.
08:57Kick out.
08:58Angela momentum swinging back and forth.
09:01Now Genoku driver.
09:03Will it be enough?
09:05And another near fall.
09:07What a matchup between these two women here on Main Event.
09:11I love what we just saw there, a moment of shock there for Thea Hale,
09:14then kind of smacking her head, smacking her temple, going, stay in the game.
09:18Refocused, high cross body.
09:20Wow.
09:21Got caught, that was like a mini power slam almost.
09:24Great display of strength by Ivy Nile, nice adjustment at the last second.
09:29And strength on display, one more time.
09:33Power personified as Nile victorious.
09:37Here is your winner, Ivy Nile.
09:46You said we're on upset alert.
09:48You had to think deep down.
09:50Ivy Nile thought the same thing was not going to be a stepping stone.
09:53Thea Hale brought in every sense of the word here, but credit the experience,
09:58credit the determination, credit that perturbed and disturbed aura of Ivy Nile that
10:04projected her to a win.
10:07Take nothing away from Thea Hale tonight, but Main Event belonged to Ivy Nile.
10:16Still to come, the powerful porterhouse of Alpha Academy.
10:19Otis steps into the ring for singles competition as he goes one-on-one with the dominant force of Rusev.
10:24But before we continue with the action here on Main Event, we look back at an electric weekend at Petco Park
10:29as WWE touchdown in San Diego for Survivor Series War Games.
10:36Tonight, over 45,000 fans will pack this joint as we welcome you for the 39th Survivor Series.
10:45People from all 50 states, people from 36 countries here tonight.
10:49Thank you to San Diego and for inviting us into your house.
10:52This evening will be great for you.
10:54Be alive like a curse from the beast.
10:57Like a myth of a wolf, so you're spreading the disease.

11:02Let the war!
11:03Kings begin!
11:07Oh, the misdelivered a legend!
11:17The Black Widow!

11:28Ooh, that's rock.
11:40Wait, wait, wait!
11:42Mysterio, play a person!
11:55Oh, no!
11:57I won it the only way Dirty Dom knows how to win.
12:00As clean as possible.
12:02Dominique Mysterio is the greatest!
12:05It's all my way, what it always says!
12:10It is the end of an era because there's one more match remaining in the GOAT's legendary career.
12:18The most star-studded war games I can ever recall.
12:36Time will tell the world never leave my way.
12:43Time will tell the world never lose.
12:45In making water we will never lose.

14:04So Oscar and Kyrie, why don't you make your way to our ring so we can finish this once and twice.
14:17If anyone understands wanting to stand up for your best friend, we do.
14:22But you see me and my best friend were the former tag team women's champions.
14:27And we never got a rematch.
14:29And if you want to stand there and act like you're better than us, prove it.
14:39And you know what, Charlotte?
14:40I was thinking the exact same thing.
14:42I know you were.
14:43So how about you two take on us two tonight?
14:48Tonight.
14:55You are on!
14:59The match was made official.
15:01It will be the dynamic duo of Rhea Ripley and Io Sky going up against the former champion Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
15:07Who will come out victorious in a high stakes matchup with potential tag team title implications?

15:20The self-proclaimed greatest couple of all time have finally reunited on Raw.
15:25What will Liv Morgan and Dirty Dominic Mysterio and the rest of Judgment they have in store for the WWE Universe?
15:31We'll find out when we return on WWE's main event.
15:40My name is John Cena.
15:41I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry.
15:44The time is up.
15:45And I'm living the dream.
15:46The champ is here.
15:50My time is down.
15:54My time is down.
15:56The end of an era is almost here.
16:13After more than two decades shaping the very fabric of this industry,
16:17John Cena will enter the ring one final time for his last match ever.

16:44LA Knight was able to pick up a victory over main event Jey Uso in a physical battle.
16:48And punching his ticket to join him in the finals of the tournament
16:51was none other than the ring general himself.

17:22But before we get to next week, we turn back to last Monday
17:25as the new Intercontinental Champion Dominant Mysterio reunited with his partner in crime Liv Morgan
17:31following her shocking return to assist Dirty Dom in recapturing the Intercontinental title from John Cena at Survivor Series.
17:37Here's what the Judgment Day had to say.
17:43I'm back!
17:51I bet you guys didn't see me coming, did you?
17:53No, no, I know you guys didn't.
17:56But guess what?
17:57Guess who else didn't see me coming?
18:00You see, we knew that John Cena was, no, no, no, we're not doing that anymore.
18:17We're not doing that anymore.
18:19We knew that John Cena was gonna figure out the Judgment Day's plan.
18:27But once that failed, and we decided to play the ace up our sleeve,
18:34I got back my two favorite things in the world.
18:38My Intercontinental Championship.
18:41Y mi amor, my guarita, Liv Morgan.
18:46Aw, Dominic, I miss this face so much.
18:51And I miss you guys so much.
18:54Raquel, it's been way, way, way too long.
18:57And JD, Finn, and Roxanne, I am so happy to be with y'all again.
19:03I really am.
19:05But since I've been gone, I've been hearing some things about the Judgment Day.
19:18I've been hearing that the Judgment Day is weak.
19:26I've been hearing that the Judgment Day has lost some of its gold.
19:35I've been hearing that the Judgment Day is falling apart.
19:43But all of that changes now.
19:45Because Liv Morgan is back!
19:50And the Judgment Day is back.
19:54And we are coming for everything that is ours.
20:03So as of right now, the Judgment Day once again officially runs Monday Night Raw.
20:18And Dominic, one more thing.
20:22Ooh.
20:25Ooh.
20:30Just about.
20:33Wow.
20:34A very clear and direct vision statement from Liv Morgan.
20:40From one Raw faction to another, when we return on Main Event,
20:44we will hear from the dominant force of the Vision.
20:47What will Paul Heyman and his associates have to say fresh off their statement victory
20:51at Survivor Series War Games?
20:53We'll find out next.
21:03Welcome back to Main Event.
21:04We are coming to you from Glynn.
21:06We are coming to you from Glynn.
21:08Arizona this week, where the WWE Universe was treated to an action-packed bout for the High
21:30Coveted World Tag Team Championships.
21:42After promising to be fighting champions for the Raw Tag Team Division, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee were put to the test.
21:48As they went toe-to-toe with the New Day this past Monday.
21:51Despite the odds, the dynamic duo of Styles and Lee were able to pull off an impressive victory against one of the most decorated tag teams of all time.
21:59But the night wasn't over for the champs, as they would later run into Raw General Manager Adam Pearce,
22:04whose ongoing investigation into a mystery assailant would reveal some new information.
22:10Adam, everyone I spoke to said they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
22:14Ordinary.
22:15Except for seeing Seth Rollins.
22:16Yeah, everybody's saying the same thing.
22:18All right, man, do me a favor, keep me posted.
22:20I appreciate it, thanks.
22:22Speaking about Seth Rollins.
22:24Gentlemen.
22:25Word around town is they saw him walking without his little sling.
22:28Yeah, I heard the same thing.
22:29I don't know.
22:30Medical's saying something else, but I'm guessing you're not here to talk about Seth.
22:33Nope.
22:34We defended these championships tonight.
22:35Yes, you did.
22:36We wanna do it again.
22:37When?
22:38Next week.
22:39I love it.
22:40I guess the deserving team.
22:41Okay, I'm all ears.
22:42Maybe one that didn't get a rematch of the deserving.
22:44No, no, no, no.
22:45I know what you're talking about.
22:46Okay.
22:47We won War Raiders.
22:48War Raiders.
22:49The War Raiders.
22:50They didn't get a rematch of the deserved.
22:51You're absolutely right.
22:52Next week?
22:53You like it?
22:54I love it.
22:55World Tag Team titles on the line.
22:57AJ, Dragon Lee versus the War Raiders next week.
23:00You're the best.
23:01Thank you for that.
23:02No, you're the best.
23:03Is that a white or pink shirt?
23:04Well, this would be, I think.
23:05I like it.
23:06I like it too.
23:07I like having fighting champions.
23:08That's what I like.
23:09Thank you.
23:10We now turn to the ring as the Vision took center stage,
23:13following a massive victory at Survivor Series War Games.
23:16I'm a little bit upset tonight, and it's not because of where we are.
23:26It's not because of the hooded guy, Batman, or whoever the hell that was,
23:31that jumped the cage on Saturday and tried to ruin my moment.
23:35I'm upset, almost disappointed really, how easy it was to pin CM Punk.
23:44Because I thought I was gonna have to reach into my bag and find this courage,
23:54this different level of athleticism, this different level, go to a place that I've never been before
24:01to face the guy that I grew up watching, that I heard about, that I heard all the stories
24:06of the greatness of CM Punk, only for me to stand across from him and realize
24:11that CM Punk is nothing but a soft ass.
24:15CM Punk is no different than any other veteran that has lived off of past glory.
24:32He's no different than Seth Rollins being a narcissistic piece of garbage at the top of the mountain,
24:38holding everyone else down, when really he should be worried about the war going on inside of his own home
24:44that his wife is a bigger star than he is.
24:48CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
25:10CM Punk Punk! On January 5th, it's gonna be a fight, but it's gonna be a different kind of fight.
25:17CM Punk, I promise you, because on Saturday, you tried to break my neck.
25:25You tried to ruin my life.
25:27You tried to ruin my dream, everything that I've ever worked for in my entire life.
25:32You tried to take that away from me, so I'm-
25:39Listen to me, Punk! I'm gonna ruin your life.
25:44I'm coming for your career.
25:46I'm coming for every good memory that these people remember you for.
25:51I'm coming for it all.
25:52And I didn't forget, this is for you, by the way.
25:57I hope you're watching at home.
25:58You remember last year at WrestleMania backstage when you came up to me in the back in the hallway?
26:03And you said, well, congratulations on all the success, kid.
26:07Let's see if you can cut a promo with the big dogs now.
26:09Well, la-dee-da! Consider the promo cut!
26:14Because on January 5th, when you're on your ass looking up at the lights, and I'm standing over you,
26:20and they announce me as the new heavyweight champion of the world,
26:26you will look into my eyes with your beady, stupid face,
26:31and realize you are not even close to the badass Broadbreaker!
26:36The real best in the world!
26:42Damn!
26:47Coming up, Otis will face off with Russo.
26:50It all goes down next, right here on Main Event.
27:01In Vegas, everything's a game.
27:07Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
27:13Just tension.
27:16Every move measured.
27:18Every look, a strategy sharpened.
27:23Always watching your back.
27:31Be prepared for anything.
27:37Never knowing who the real threat is.
27:48Or who might show up at the table.
27:50Wrestlemania Vegas.
28:00It's anyone's game.
28:05It's anyone's game.
28:07It's anyone's game.
28:08I can't.

30:53AS THE VOICE OF THIS SHOW, THE KEYS TO THE CAR ARE ALL YOURS.
30:58AND LISTEN, THANKSGIVING, I HAD MYSELF A PORTERHOUSE,
31:00AND NOW WE GOT THE POWERFUL PORTERHOUSE KICKING THINGS OFF RIGHT NOW IN THIS MATCHUP.
31:04AND VIC, IT'S GONNA BE GREAT, CAPPING OFF THINGS.
31:07AND OF COURSE, WE'RE JUST ONE WEEK AWAY FROM JOHN SINA'S LAST TIME.
31:11THAT'S RIGHT. SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT.
31:13WHAT A NIGHT IT WILL BE.
31:14WHAT IS SPECTACULAR IT WILL BE IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL.
31:20AS THE ROYAL RUMBLE IS PRESENTED BY CRICKET.
31:22JOIN CRICKET NATION AND GET RELIABLE NATIONWIDE 5G.
31:25SMILE, YOU'RE ON CRICKET.
31:27AND BY RAM TRUCKS, NOTHING STOPS RAM.
31:29AND BY INTUIT TURBOTECS, NOW THIS IS TEXAS.
31:33TALK ABOUT A MOOD CHANGER HERE, VIC.
31:49YOU AIN'T KIDDING, BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WAS HAPPY TO SEE YOU.
31:53I'M FOR ONCE IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT.
31:55BUT WHEN THIS MAN COMES AROUND, THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
31:59AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:11AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:13AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:15AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:19AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:21AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:23AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:25AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:27AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:29AND THE MOON DOES SHIFT.
32:31HOW TO GIVE MORE STAAM HERE TONIGHT.
32:42RUSEV, OF COURSE, WAS LASER-FOCUSED.
32:47AND THIS NEEDS A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK.
32:49MADISON SQUARE GUARD AND THESE TWO HOOKED UP ONE MORE TIME RIGHT WITH A MAIN EVENT.
32:53BUT TODAY, WHAT HAS TO BE DIFFERENT IN THIS TIME?
32:57OBVIOUS WOULD LOVE TO PICK UP A VICTOR.
33:00For Rusev, he wants to run it back the same way.
33:03And when we talk about Rusev's aggression, you see it coming out.
33:06I start to think about the Royal Rumble.
33:08It wasn't long ago that that man was the runner-up in the Royal Rumble.
33:11Could this year be the year for Rusev to go on and headline WrestleMania?
33:16You go back just over a decade, that initial appearance in the Royal Rumble
33:20really turning a lot of heads.
33:21And now Rusev back in the WWE.
33:24And of course now the third time in the ring here for Otis
33:26with Rusev since his return.
33:28And really, Vic, how does Otis psych himself up for this type of encounter?
33:31I don't know. I'm just looking at Otis right now.
33:32Something seems a little bit different.
33:33There's not an Alpha Babes shirt on.
33:37I don't know. Maybe he didn't do laundry or maybe catering was so good.
33:41Things look a little bit darker here this evening.
33:43But right now these two behemoths locking it up right now.
33:46Almost 600 pounds inside the ring right here.
33:49And of course right now we're talking about new Intercontinental champions.
33:52Maxine Dupree still riding high after an amazing win a couple of weeks back.
33:55Yeah, and I've been very interested to see how Otis and Tozawa for that matter
33:59would take some of that energy from Maxine Dupree
34:01and translate it into their own success.
34:05It hasn't quite happened the way that maybe they would want.
34:08And it's certainly not happening right now as Rusev is starting to smash.
34:12As Rusev in control right now.
34:14Irish Ripper Versal here by Otis.
34:15That's one way to shift things.
34:18Otis starting to pick up a little bit of steam right here.
34:20Of course the Alpha Academy has had some recent success here on Main Event.
34:26As Otis in the driver's seat right now.
34:28Spoke to Otis earlier today.
34:30Very motivated by the action last weekend inside Survivor Series War Games.
34:35Well could you imagine seeing this inside of War Games?
34:38Look at this fella.
34:40Otis is...
34:42Well just like we saw before.
34:45Tozawa wrong place, wrong time.
34:48Rusev looking to take full advantage.
34:49We talked about him trying to blow off some steam.
34:51And Otis gets the back of his partner right there.
34:56In control right now is Otis.
34:58As he wants to stay in the driver's seat right here against Rusev on Main Event.
35:03This holiday season.
35:17Go big.
35:18And then go home.
35:28Have a safe trip home.
35:31Daddy!
35:33Back in action here on Main Event.
35:41Otis still in control right now.
35:42And Vicky keeps putting in the work.
35:44Keeps showing up.
35:45Now looking for that big time success.
35:46Well Rusev now just countering here for a moment.
35:48That's the danger of Rusev.
35:50Because he's so strong.
35:51He's so powerful.
35:51He's so accurate with his kicks and his strikes.
35:53So he can turn things around just like that.
35:55Of course that Machka kick did in Otis a couple of weeks back.
35:58And Rusev did come up short against Jey Uso in the last time his now tournament.
36:01But the Bulgarian Brute looked very impressive throughout multiple rounds in that tournament.
36:05He certainly did.
36:06How about Jey Uso and sort of the attitude and what's going through that man's mind as we saw that this past week on Monday Night Raw.
36:14Certainly a lot of turmoil right now inside Main Event Jey Uso's head as Rusev looks laser focused.
36:20We talked about him in that tournament.
36:21Did get by Damian Priest.
36:22Let's take another look right here.
36:24It's 330 pounds of Otis colliding with the steel.
36:27You know we're seeing all the impact.
36:28The official right now doing his job checking on Otis.
36:32I mean that was nasty the way he just bounced right into that pole.
36:36Right into that steel.
36:37Starting to get fired up right here.
36:39And of course Rusev's been in and around the Intercontinental title picture in recent months.
36:42Is he still a top contender for that gold?
36:44100%.
36:44I think everybody's a contender right now.
36:46We're getting ready to have a new year.
36:47What's the saying?
36:48A new year, new me.
36:49Indeed.
36:49You know so anything could happen and look at Rusev just soaking it in right now.
36:54And I want to take an opportunity.
36:55We talked about the Royal Rumble.
36:57We talked about Saturday Night's Main Event.
36:58Later today it will be WWE's deadline.
37:02NXT superstars trying to beat the clock.
37:04The Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.
37:05The Men's Iron Survivor Challenge.
37:07Who will beat the clock?
37:09It's the most strategic match in the WWE in my opinion.
37:12And one woman and one man will then get a championship opportunity in the new year at New Year's Evil.
37:19And Vic, you talk about New Year, New Me.
37:20Certainly a great way to kick off 2026 for one superstar in the men's and women's side in NXT.
37:26As Rusev unloading right here.
37:29And of course, Vic, I know you've discussed with Byron in the past here on Main Event.
37:32How has Rusev evolved since his return to the WWE earlier this year?
37:35He's just more angry.
37:36He's more focused.
37:37He's not worried about, you know, anybody else but himself.
37:41And I think he's hit Otis so hard a few times.
37:44I think Otis right now may be a little worse for wear.
37:48If we can get a shot of his face.
37:49Because Rusev right now is unleashing on the powerful porterhouse.
37:54As the referee checking in right here.
37:56Rusev doing the damage on Otis.
37:58Referee might need to utilize his discretion right here.
38:00As Otis wants to stay involved in this matchup.
38:03As Rusev looking to wear him down right here.
38:05And Otis would love to get a big victory in, you know, for the new year.
38:09And I mean, that's so important right now with everybody in WWE.
38:12You know, we could be talking about Sol Ruka as the Women's Iron Survivor.
38:16We could be talking about Joe Hendry as the Men's Iron Survivor.
38:19The list goes on and on.
38:20But right now in this moment for Rusev, he's got to finish the match.
38:24He's got to pick up another victory.
38:25And we talk about Rusev being a top contender for that Intercontinental Championship.
38:28Dirty Dom is champ once again.
38:30And Vic this time around will have even more eyes on him after knocking off the GOAT John Cena.
38:35Not only that, he's also got Liv Morgan back in the corner.
38:38It was Liv Morgan really who was the deciding factor in that matchup.
38:41If we want to call it what it is, that's again, new year, new me, so to speak.
38:45And we heard earlier here on Main Event from the Judgment Day at Raw.
38:48They're certainly riding high as Rusev in the unstretched arms of Otis.
38:53And now Otis Mania running wild here on Main Event.
38:55I said being worse for wear, you can see the wounds of this match being worn by Otis.
39:01But it's not stopping.
39:02It's motivating the powerful quarter house as you coined.
39:06And here we go, time for a little caterpillar action.
39:09Otis, the smooth moves up and down, drops the elbow.
39:14Not enough right now for Otis, sixth week in a row here on Main Event.
39:17I was surprised he didn't go for the victory because this is what happened in New York City and it didn't pay off.
39:21Indeed, we've seen representation for the Alpha Academy.
39:24And again, the knees.
39:26Well scouted by the Bulgarian brute.
39:28That's going to stun Otis.
39:29Back up on his feet.
39:30And just like last time, it's the Machka kick does it again.
39:35But Rusev looking at a little bit more spice this time, Vic.
39:39Into position.
39:40Right in the center of the ring.
39:42Otis has nowhere to go.
39:44And this time, the accolade gets the job done.
39:51Here is your winner, Rusev.
39:56Very impressive once again from the Bulgarian brute here on Main Event.
40:00Well, Madison Square Garden, it was a rake of the face off the Vader bomb.
40:06Right here, you see the caterpillar perfectly executed.
40:09No doubt in my mind that this could have been the end of victory for Otis.
40:15The second time in a row.
40:17This time it was the double knees.
40:18It wasn't a rake of the face.
40:19Tozawa was wiped out the Machka kick.
40:21But adding insult to injury, proving a point even more.
40:24How many times have we ever seen Otis tap out to pain?
40:28It is very rare, but it happened here tonight.
40:32As we shift gears here on Main Event, let's take a look back at Survivor Series last weekend.
40:36Where Stephanie Vakera defended her Women's World Championship against WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella.
40:42To WWE Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella versus Law Primera.
40:50Stephanie Vakera.
40:52And wasted little time.
40:54Nikki Bella pounced on the champion.
40:56Oh!
40:57Oh!
40:57Oh!
40:57Oh!
40:58Oh!
40:58Oh!
40:59Oh!

41:09Oh!
41:09Oh!
41:10Oh!
41:11Oh!
41:13Oh!
41:13And the Devil's Punch on the medical table!
41:16Stephanie, top rope, corpse through splash!
41:20Oh!
41:25The women's champion on top of the world!
41:33I'm backstage with our Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer.
41:37Stephanie, congratulations on a successful title defense.
41:41against Nikki Bella this weekend.
41:43What message do you think that victory sends?
41:45Me siento increíble.
41:47I got to show everyone that when you betray Stephanie Baker, you get burned.
41:54Todas son bienvenidas a mi infierno.
41:56And I'm ready for whatever my next challenger reigns.
42:01Well, it should be interesting to see how we determine who the next...
42:04I just wanted to say that I'm back.
42:13Congratulations, by the way.
42:21Coming up next, a tag team action with potential title implications.
42:25Last weekend at Survivor Series, they stood together, united by common enemies.
42:29On Raw, their alliance is set aside as Rhea Ripley and Io Sky face Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss
42:34to determine who will get the next shot at the women's tag team champions, the Kabuki Warriors.
42:40Will Rhea and Io desire for vengeance be enough to stop Charlotte and Alexa's quest for redemption?
42:45Find out next, right here on Main Event.
42:51Montreal, it's fight weekend.
42:55I'm automatic and innovative because I have it.
42:58Friday Night SmackDown throws the first punch.
43:01You want it? You got it!
43:02Then...
43:03Welcome to Saturday Night's Main Event.
43:04Saturday Night's Main Event goes for the knockout.
43:07Unbelievable!
43:08WWE hits back-to-back nights at the Bell Center.
43:13All action.
43:15All weekend.
43:17Combo tickets on sale now.
43:19Welcome back to Main Event.
43:24Next week, we are coming to you from the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri,
43:28deep in the heart of barbecue capital of the U.S. of A.
43:32Kansas City plays host to yet another action-packed Monday Night Raw.
43:38Next Monday, the winner of The Last Time is Now tournament takes center stage
43:41before facing John Cena in the historic final match at Saturday Night's Main Event.
43:45With the world watching ahead of the Monumental Flash,
43:48what will they have to say to the greatest of all time?
43:54From the greatest of all time to the greatest luchador of all time,
43:57the Judgment Day has been a long thorn in the side of Rey Mysterio.
44:01And now with his son, the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion Dominic Mysterio,
44:05standing at the faction's forefront, Rey is determined to tear the group apart piece by piece,
44:10starting with The Prince, Finn Balor.
44:13Hits the master of the 619, Rey Mysterio, taking on Finn Balor next week on Raw.
44:19And that's not all.
44:21As the War Raiders, former champions who have yet to receive their rightful one-on-one rematch,
44:26will finally get their shot at the World Tag Team Championships.
44:29Will Styles and Lee notch another successful defense?
44:32Or will the Raiders' path of destruction prove to be more than the Tag Team Champs bargain for?
44:38Find out next week on Monday Night Raw.
44:43For now, we head back to Glendale,
44:44where the Arizona crowd plays host to a star-studded Tag Team match.
44:48From allies to opponents, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss square off against Rhea Ripley and Io Sky.
44:53Two pairings made up of four of the WWE's absolute best,
44:57with Asuka and Kairi Sane in their sights.
45:00Which team will emerge victorious?
45:02Let's find out.
45:04From Women's War Games teammates with great respect for each other,
45:08to now fiery opponents here, Rhea Ripley, Io Sky against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss,
45:14as both teams have stated their mission,
45:17that they want to be in position to get the Kabuki Warriors to have gold.
45:23Of course, Charlotte and Alexa most recently were Tag Team Champions.
45:27Look for these.
45:29Oh!
45:30Have been put through the meat grinder over the past 48 hours.
45:34Get it!
45:35After the hell that was World Game successful as it may have been for these four.
45:40Listen, the brutality that happened in San Diego,
45:45there's no denying what it has done.
45:48Razor's edge.
45:50And then the missile dropkick.
45:52What a combination.
45:54This for the win.
45:55And Charlotte survives.
45:58It is so frustrating when you are feeling raggedy in there.
46:02Your body isn't cooperating with you.
46:04But you finally stick a big move like that, the double whammy.
46:09And it still doesn't get you the victory.
46:12You can see that on the face of Rhea Ripley.
46:16She knows they just gave everything.
46:19Looking for the Riptide right here.
46:20Can she deliver the Riptide on Charlotte Flair?
46:23What a turnaround counter DDT by Flair.
46:26Spiked right on the top of the head and now a recovered Alexa Bliss can put this one to back.
46:32What a moment by Flair.
46:34Oh, and now delivering again is Bliss.
46:37The teamwork.
46:39And somehow, Ripley survives.
46:42Well, Rhea Ripley has absolutely no clue where she's at, but this is why she was perhaps the number one on planet Earth.
46:49That ability to dig deeper than anybody else.
46:53But it may be for Nort now, because I think I know exactly what Bliss has in mind.
46:58Could it be twisted Bliss right here?
47:01Right now!
47:02Knees up!
47:03Knees up!
47:04Knees up right into the gut of Bliss!
47:06Perfect timing there from Rhea Ripley recovered just in the nick of time.
47:10Genius of the Sky misses!
47:12Oh, what a boot by Charlotte.
47:15Well, Flair does not miss.
47:16Hey!
47:17And I think that was a tag two.
47:18Oh, Natural Selection coming in!
47:21Could it be Sister Abigail?
47:25Bliss lined up and delivered!
47:28Sister Abigail DDT at the Natural Selection!
47:31The save by Ripley!
47:33And it had to be a save, Joe Test.
47:35That was over.
47:36Io Sky's greatest year was never kicking out of those two.
47:40Oh, Charlotte hung up on the top rope!
47:42Oh, the big clothesline drapes her over the apron and down to the floor!
47:45Bodies getting wrecked before our eyes!
47:48Competition fierce in the tag ranks!
47:51How about the pace and violence all of a sudden in the midst of this tag team match?
47:55Well, all four women now smell blood.
47:57We know we are close to an ending here!
47:59Something has to give!
48:01Somebody has to drop it!
48:02It looks like it could be Alexa Bliss!
48:05She escapes out the back door.
48:08This was looking to counter with a DDT instead!
48:14Oh, Ness has got Rhea lined up!
48:18But instead the headbutt denies the Sister Abigail DDT!
48:22Looking for Riptide!
48:24Slams it down!
48:26Here comes the genius of the sky!
48:29Moves on lands!
48:33Charlotte just took Rhea Ripley and sent her flying into everybody for the save!
48:42That was just rugby scrum style there from Charlotte Flair who knew it was game over unless she dug deep enough to power Ripley into the pole that was that pin!
48:53Great stuff here in Glendale, Arizona!
48:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
48:58The champs are on!
48:59The Kabuki Warriors are interrupting the match and beating them!
49:03What?!
49:04In the midst of a great match!
49:07Well, just as we were reaching a crescendo, four women who have had major problems with attack jumps!
49:13The Kabuki Warriors over the past several months!
49:17Who have timed this to perfection!
49:19You wanna launch a beatdown on the people who defeated you in war games!
49:25Wait till they're exhausted!
49:27Did Io Sky get enough left?
49:28No, she doesn't!
49:29Io Sky was so brave to try to stand up to them!
49:32But now Asuka and Kairi Sane in complete control here!
49:36The Women's Tag Team Champions interrupting what was heating up to be a thriller between Ripley, Sky, Flair, and Bliss!
49:46This is to Sky, they got the title in hand now as they're lining up Io Sky!
49:51Wait a minute!
49:52Wait a minute, Wade!
49:55Lyra and Bayley!
49:58Two other women with designs on the goal, they've not been quiet about it!
50:03Here to save the day for the four who were competing in this match, wiped out by the champs!
50:10And they're tasting their own medicine now!
50:13Lyra on the attack!
50:16Up on her announce desk!
50:19Cutting the wood to the champ!
50:23Hold on!
50:24Oh!
50:25Liv Morgan is here!
50:27The Judge McDowell are in town!
50:30Raquel and Roxanne as well!
50:32For the tag champs in their own rights here!
50:34And what a meltdown we are getting here!
50:39In Glendale!
50:41Raquel Rodriguez!
50:43To Hannah Bomb on Asuka!
50:44Everybody in the locker room who's been talking on Pop Rocks!
50:45Pop Rocks on Bayley!
