00:19The two-time World Tag Team Champions, the War Raiders, Eric and Ivar.
00:24Looking to raid and pillage the tag division.
00:29And go home with a little additional gold this evening.
00:33Gold that used to belong to these two.
00:36All the way back at WrestleMania this year.

01:41Wade, let's go back and show everybody what just happened moments ago here in Kansas City.
01:48So Rey Mysterio making his entrance, blindside attack by Logan Paul, who Rey had slapped last week during a confrontation.
01:56Just an absolute mugging at ringside.
01:59But turning things around was a Hall of Famer until the masked man from Survivor Series arrived.
02:06Hit that patented stomp of his before disappearing as security hit the scene.
02:13Now, the damage done to Rey Mysterio was about to get even worse.
02:16A brass knocks, right-hand haymaker from the Maverick.
02:21Logan Paul potentially breaking, fracturing the jaw of Rey Mysterio.
02:27And as things were about to get even worse, the Megastar LA Knight hit the ring.
02:33Logan Paul wisely clearing out.
02:35But LA Knight made the challenge.
02:37It's now been made official per RTM, Adam Pearce's office.
02:43The Megastar LA Knight goes one-on-one with the Maverick.

08:14was a hot start from the tag champs it really was a shock in all beginning and caught by surprise were
08:20the war raiders but they've ridden out that early storm and now taken full control of this match
08:26completely wiping out the tag champs oh god oh no running cross body right into the side of the ring

08:39titles could be loosening

09:40ivar continues to dominate the actions the tag is made to eric
09:46it is just a riot at ringside today isn't it it's kind of kind of a fun riot though no fun in the ring
09:52though for the tag oh my god look at this would you look at this 350 pounds crashing down this to
10:00win golden that left shoulder gets up easily just thanks for aj styles crushing landing there on the
10:05phenomenal one who is really struggling at this point in the matchup and here's the problem joe test

10:17suit please you don't even have a shirt on over here would you look at yourself here he got you
10:23good there joe test peewee hermit joe test i'm just asking you to be a professional and call the
10:28match don't get distracted i'm not a nasty back party right here
10:41i think we should invite new g'day down here every single week never in fact it's i'm so happy that
10:47they're nowhere near a headset oh don't give me ideas no do not give up your headset to them
10:52maybe next week could we have a title change right here no let me speak to the bosses i'd love to get
10:57them on the answer right now right now running out of ideas perhaps is ivar you saw some frustration
11:05in the eyes of the former tag champ just in unable to put aj styles away
11:17how did these guys not lose their voices honestly they don't shut up joe i are they even inhaling at
11:24all i want to know what's in those cups can you spare a glass for an englishman
11:47the war raiders are the two-time world tag team champions most recently the reign was ended
11:52all the way back at wrestlemania 41 in vegas by the new day who have joined us ringside
11:58barking incessantly the current world tag team champions of course the dynamic pairing of aj styles
12:04and dragon lee but they find themselves in such a tough spot right here wade the cover well that
12:11dynamism of the tag champs goes away pretty rapidly when you are getting crushed under the massive body of
12:17ivar and the overwhelming power of eric and aj styles has had very little answer to these two
12:25over the past several minutes and aj is fading rapidly you've got dragon lee on the outside
12:30and this tag needs to happen soon for the tag champs we were able to visit with ivar earlier today said
12:35we're not going to squander this opportunity we never got the rematch we never got another chance can aj
12:42styles fight his way back and find some hope here against the war raiders fight has been the middle name of
12:49aj styles and dragon lee since they won the gold they are fighting champions and they are now in with a
12:56fighting chance of getting back into this matchup against the war raiders great scene here in kansas city
13:03massive crowd in the midst of a great card that includes this the world tag team championship match and there's the tag to
13:11dragon lee and to the dragon right into the back of my bar and look at him go well this is the fire of
13:19dragon lee that made ray mysterio say dragon is the future of lucha libre well maybe that future is right
13:27now he's cutting down that leg of the big man the speed of dragon league which incredible movement
13:35precision strikes there just growing by the week with the additional guidance here in wwe of the phenomenal
13:43one aj styles but maybe cut short here great movement there from eric yeah eric is going up top dragon
13:51lee's trying to fight back and he does with a big right hand he says you know what double stop
13:57oh man you have to move quick to get out of the way of these big does he have that there's no way there
14:06is no way can he get 350 pounds oh god oh god simply too much for dragon lee to pull off he got lucky
14:15he's going right now how in the world is he able to do that oh and you can see the damage it did to
14:25dragon lee as well well it may well have done a lot of damage to the neck of ivar that surgically
14:30repaired neck of ivar who is not moving too well now dragon lee this to retain gold
14:38and that right shoulder is able to get up off the canvas meanwhile the new day watching ringside
14:46rather enraged kofi kingston barking at anyone inside anyone in his line of vision which right now
14:54seems to be ivar and dragon lee oh man oh man there's a whoopee cushion landing right in the corner
15:02knocking all the life and fire out of dragon lee and now the combo work as we have seen time and
15:08again but dragon lee able to counter for a moment a unique reversal there somehow getting out of the
15:16worst of it from the war raiders and perhaps giving himself life once again
15:22but hung up as eric is able to power him up
15:26out the back door for dragon lee on the apron delivers the big kick rocking big eric
15:40that viking experience the big slam from ivar power wins out in the end for the war raiders oh my god
15:51what is his eyeball cooking up here that magnum moonsault if it hits it's splat oh right to the
16:00head to the head of dragon lee oh no oh out of nowhere the save by aj styles well you saw eric had the
16:09right idea trying to block aj spray but simply wasn't quick enough what absolute bedlam we're getting
16:16in this tag title match and the new cadet realize it oh this was the moment i thought it was all
16:23over for dragon lee a landing flush on the head of dragon lee but aj styles managing to break up that pin
16:30just in time how many big men could even consider pulling that off and he landed it flush but aj
16:39styles was there just when they needed him to be like two boxes in round 12 nothing left in the tank
16:47but you've got to keep swinging because gold is up for grabs eric was looking for that discus right
16:53hand instead here comes the striking combination signature offense by aj styles swing and a miss
16:59from both men and it's eric who is looking like he might have won this could he claim gold right here
17:06oh you got a hook you idiot oh man please can we not encourage the new day with the camera in their
17:14face in the midst of a championship match i think everyone is exasperated at this point all four
17:18competitors laying it on the line being serenaded by the new cadet at ringside who are keeping a close
17:26watch on this serenaded presumably wanting a piece of whichever team wins tonight most ringside has bleeding
17:34air drums right now listening to them non-stop look at this from eric and ivar styles 350 pounds of
17:42bowling ball taking it out his partner like a human missile being fired across the ring in the shape of
17:49the massive ivar dragon lee with more life in his body getting that second wind and eric might be down and
17:58out here oh and aj is thinking about it and he is looking to deliver
18:04phenomenal four arm the champs here are your winners and still the world tag team champions
18:27champions dragon lee and the phenomenal aj style
18:35phenomenal four arm connects gold retained what a banger tag match we just had but the fighting champs
18:46of aj styles and dragon lee retain the gold i love the way they go about their business and here is the group
18:54that seven days ago they defeated now coming up to the apron and entering the ring the new day
19:02well they decided it should have been them instead of the war raiders with yet another bite of the cherry
