00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00Tonight, the ultimate showdowns are on the horizon for Crown Jewel Perth.
01:10Welcome to Main Event.
01:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:31Introducing first, accompanied by Axiom, from the Isle of Jersey and the English Channel, weighing 180 pounds, one half of Traxium, Nathan Frazier!
01:45Getting the action started here as last week, Axiom gave it a go in singles action, but today, one of the fastest superstars in WWE will give it a go once again in Nathan Frazier.
01:55As we welcome in here, Blake Howard, alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
01:58Vic, a lot at stake here tonight.
02:00There's so much at stake.
02:02This has been a huge weekend for the WWE as well, with everything going down.
02:07Crown Jewel in Perth.
02:09And his opponent, accompanied by Montez Ford, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 260 pounds.
02:35He's one half of the Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins!
02:44A big hometown roar right there for Angelo Dawkins and Vic, a superstar coming off of a massive opportunity last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
02:52This is someone who I've known for a very, very long time, since I arrived in the WWE in 2017.
02:59He and I have had a lot of conversation about the Browns and the Bengals, so I know how excited he is for this moment to be home.
03:08But you're right, huge opportunity.
03:10They need to start making the most of whatever opportunities are given to them.
03:14And you sense, as much as we see smiles, as much as we see dancing and handshakes, there's something inside both these men that just want more.
03:25Certainly would love another opportunity in the Tag Team Championship.
03:28And, of course, looking at that deep SmackDown Tag Team division here, Vic.
03:32You talk about any opportunity they can capitalize on, even in singles action, looking to get a leg up.
03:36If you look at who's in the Tag Team division, Fraxium, right?
03:40Indeed.
03:40You have guys like DIY that are former champions.
03:44Motor City Machine Guns, former champions.
03:46Street Profits, in their own right, have had a great run in many different divisions, on many different brands, as Tag Team Champions.
03:53But, I always say this to you, even if you're in a Tag Team, you still want to taste that singles success.
04:00Out of Fraxium and the Street Profits, Fraxium has had their own taste of singles success.
04:06As a matter of fact, that's what brought them together to become a Tag Team.
04:10Of course, they had that great series of matches in NXT.
04:12Of Nathan Fraser, of course, in NXT, former NXT Heritage Cup champion, as he looks to control the pace right now, taking things to the mat.
04:19We always talk about saying, is Fraxium fine?
04:21How about the Street Profits?
04:22There's always been a lot of questions.
04:24Is there a fracture in Fraxium?
04:26Say that ten times.
04:27But, for the Street Profits, we can all question.
04:29We can all ask.
04:32They're the only two that really know.
04:33They're the only two that can truly answer that question, because that's a question, let's just be frank.
04:40That's a question that has been asked, not just for the last few weeks or few months.
04:44It's been going on now for quite a few years.
04:47Is there tension, is there a fraction in the Street Profits as Nathan Fraser picks up the speed.
04:53Looking to rise up indeed as one of the fastest superstars in the WWE.
04:57We say no one's faster than Fraxium.
04:59Did you tell that to Axiom?
05:01Did you tell that to Braun Breaker?
05:03Do you see how fast Braun Breaker runs?
05:04We know 23 miles an hour.
05:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:05So, I'm going to make sure he knows that.
05:07Oh!
05:07That you just said that.
05:09Well, right now.
05:10Right now, as a matter of fact.
05:11Who do they think they're going to dive on Angelo Dawkins?
05:13Certainly not Nathan Fraser.
05:14And, bam!
05:15Dawkins connects with a big diving elbow right there.
05:18Dawkins starting to feel it right here, Vic.
05:19He's also telling Frazier to crawl down.
05:21We go into the cover, hooks the outside leg, only two.
05:22Really stopping that momentum of Nathan Fraser.
05:25But, look, for Angelo Dawkins, he can get it done.
05:27He is very athletic.
05:29We have seen a taste of what he can do in singles competition.
05:32And every time he's had a matchup, there's always one word that people say.
05:37Wow!
05:38Oh!
05:38Big pop right there on the jaw.
05:41And, of course, it's been over a year.
05:42Last singles matchup for Dawkins was in July 2024.
05:46Of course, that was under speed rules.
05:47As now he looks to prepare for the deeper waters of this contest.
05:50Women's Speed Championship on NXT currently held by Sol Ruka, who's a double champion.
05:56But even getting a small taste myself, sitting at the desk, watching those matches,
06:00it's amazing that a man the size of Angelo Dawkins can move that quick.
06:04Sometimes those matches are just three minutes.
06:06And that's a different environment.
06:07That's a different vibe altogether.
06:09That just shows you how well-rounded of an athlete Angelo Dawkins truly is.
06:15And, Vic, coming up next, we're going to feel the vibe of the OTC
06:17as Roman Reigns takes center stage.
06:19And we will certainly acknowledge what he has to say.
06:22What's going to happen tonight when we start thinking about Crown Jewel,
06:28the Australian...
06:29It's going to be a fight.
06:30With the Tribal Thief versus the Tribal Thief, Bronson Reed.
06:35As Angelo Dawkins starting to cook right now, here we go, double underhook, twists him out.
06:40Almost taking a page out of Frazier's playbook.
06:41Nice.
06:42Into the cover, hooks the outside leg, shoulders are down.
06:44So Axiom on the other side, you can see in his eyes a look of worry on his face.
06:49And, Vic, of course, Axiom can't be too happy after last week, DIY, stealing the mask of Axiom.
06:53Certainly some underhanded tactics that got the job done.
06:56I wonder if the Street Profits saw what happened last week.
07:00And as we get into the deeper waters of this matchup, will they try to, you know, maybe replay that back, so to speak.
07:07He'd be taking a page out of that playbook.
07:09But Nathan Fraser, what a counter right there, twisting up.
07:12And connecting right on the side ahead of Angelo Dawkins.
07:14Both superstars down right now.
07:15And you also see the difference in the two teams.
07:17Montez Ford, very animated, very vocal.
07:20Axiom on the outside, calm, cool, and collected.
07:22We'll see how that translates to the two that are in the ring.
07:25A little bit of a slip, but a nice drop kick connected.
07:27Frazier creates that separation now.
07:29Dawkins goes to the outside.
07:30This is right where Nathan Fraser feels at home.
07:32We talk about that speed that he can accumulate.
07:34And Vic, it certainly comes quickly.
07:37To Baycon, Hilo to the outside.
07:40Now quick, Frazier getting Dawkins back into the ring.
07:43Keeping his foot on the gas.
07:44We know he likes to maintain that frenetic pace.
07:46Frazier up top.
07:47Could be looking for that Phoenix Splash.
07:49Right into position here.
07:51Frazier rises up.
07:52Oh!
07:53Hit the Frog Splash.
07:54Connects!
07:55Will that be enough?
07:56And I know we keep talking about singles competition,
07:58but also as you brought up early on,
08:00what will this do to the momentum in the tag team division as well?
08:04So much at stake in this matchup for not just the individuals,
08:07but also the teams.
08:09And now he's looking to go high flying again.
08:12Maybe going for that Phoenix Splash this time,
08:13but well scouted there by Angelo Dawkins.
08:15And certainly doing his homework right here.
08:17But now we're getting a high-risk territory right here, Vic.
08:20As Frazier looking to fight out here.
08:23Not necessarily what Angelo Dawkins is known for
08:27when it comes to the Street Profits.
08:28It's more of the aerial insanity of Montez Ford.
08:32As Frazier's up.
08:34Oh!
08:35Phoenix Splash doesn't connect.
08:36Dawkins into position.
08:38And takes Frazier sky high.
08:41And Dawkins makes a serious statement.
08:44Here is your winner.
08:47Angelo Dawkins!
08:49I got to agree with what you just said there, Blake.
08:52That is a serious statement victory for Angelo Dawkins.
08:59Vic, earlier on you mentioned about making the most of opportunities,
09:02not just in the tag team division, but in singles action right here.
09:05Big-time opportunity for Nathan Frazier as well as Angelo Dawkins
09:09right in his backyard here in Cincinnati.
09:11Let's take another look right here at the action.
09:13Nathan Frazier goes for that frog splash.
09:15Thought he might have connected was not enough
09:17as Angelo Dawkins able to press out.
09:19But Frazier goes for it all one more time.
09:21Well scouted by Dawkins.
09:23Up and down.
09:25As he sends Frazier sky high.
09:27And the Street Profits, amidst maybe some turmoil, Vic,
09:29finding a way to make a positive.
09:34An interesting show of respect between these two.
09:39Maybe at the end of the day, it's about the spirit of competition.
09:43Because Angelo Dawkins knows he was just in there for a fight with Nathan Frazier.
09:48Montez Ford and Axiom join in right here.
09:50A lot of mutual respect.
09:51But Angelo Dawkins certainly doesn't miss with his big win here on Main Event.
09:57Coming up, the War Raiders are back in action
09:59when Eric and Ivar take on Los Americanos
10:01in a thrilling tag team showdown tonight on Main Event.
10:07Roman Reigns is back.
10:08And the OTC is looking to settle a score with The Vision
10:11after Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed savagely beat down the Tribal Chief
10:15at Clash in Paris.
10:16Find out what Roman has in store for The Vision next.
10:19WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
10:32We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
10:35So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
10:40It's time to double down, Las Vegas.
10:52WrestleMania returns in 2026.
10:55Are you ready?
11:04Now get me off of this thing.
11:10Welcome back to WWE Main Event.
11:13We are deep in the heart of Texas.
11:15Dallas, Texas.
11:16And you know what they say?
11:17Everything is bigger in Texas.
11:19The energy is bigger.
11:20The lights are brighter.
11:21And the crowd was certainly louder.
11:23As Roman Reigns made his way to the ring.
11:26The packed house inside American Airlines Center showed respect.
11:29Acknowledging their Tribal Chief.
11:31But just as Roman was about to address the WWE Universe,
11:33he was interrupted by his former wise man, Paul Heyman,
11:37and his new associate, Big Bronson Reed.
11:40Dallas, Texas.
11:50Acknowledge your Tribal Thief.
11:55And Roman Reigns, acknowledge the one man on the face of this planet
12:07that you fear in your heart, Big Bronson Reed.
12:14Oh, come on.
12:22You know you fear him.
12:24And, well, you should.
12:28Not once in your, forget about your career,
12:32not once in your entire life have you ever been beaten to such a degree
12:36that you needed a stretcher,
12:39that you couldn't leave on your own volition.
12:41Not once.
12:42All those football games at Georgia Tech,
12:45not once did you leave on a stretcher.
12:49All those Anawaii family barbecues
12:52that doubled as drunken Samoans
12:54having a battle royal in the backyard,
12:57not once did you leave on a stretcher.
13:02And in your entire career,
13:04let alone even before you were the Tribal Chief with me
13:07at the height of your greatness,
13:09not once in your career did a man lay a beating on you to such a degree
13:18that you had to be placed on a stretcher,
13:22carried out of the arena,
13:24placed into an ambulance,
13:26and taken all the way to the hospital.
13:32Roman Reigns.
13:50Don't worry about them.
13:51Listen to me.
13:52Your father seeker, 45 years in this business,
13:57never stretch it out.
14:02Your uncle, 45 years in this business,
14:06never stretch it out.
14:08RGC!
14:09RGC!
14:10RGC!
14:11How do you think they'll feel
14:15looking down on you,
14:18watching you get stretched out by my hands?
14:23It's funny you bring up my father and my uncle.
14:36You didn't know them.
14:40The dumbass next to you, he did.
14:46What do you think my dad would say right now, Paul?
14:55My dad would say,
14:57fight him now.
14:59So let's do this.
15:07Now!
15:07Now!
15:15I've ran this before.
15:25I've been over there,
15:28and I've heard what he has to say.
15:31There's no wise words coming.
15:34Just words of a coward.
15:36He's telling you don't fight right now.
15:37He's telling you you're on the Tribal Chief's time right now.
15:42He's telling you you're on the Tribal Chief's terms right now.
15:47Let's just be honest here.
15:50I'm levels above you.
15:51It's going to be my time,
15:57no matter the place,
15:59no matter where we go,
16:01when you want to do it,
16:03whatever fashion you want to do it in,
16:05let me know,
16:05because I'm always going to be your Tribal Chief.
16:08My compliments.
16:29That was almost as brilliant as if it came from a wise man.
16:32You want to know who,
16:35what,
16:35when,
16:36where,
16:36why?
16:37Roman Reigns versus Bronson Reed.
16:40This Saturday night,
16:43Perth,
16:43Australia,
16:44at Crown Jewel,
16:46in a match that Bronson Reed made famous,
16:50in a match that Bronson Reed has never been defeated in,
16:54in a match that Bronson Reed was so dominant in,
17:00that WWE recruited him from Australia to the main roster.
17:05This Saturday night at Crown Jewel,
17:08Roman Reigns,
17:10Bronson Reed,
17:11in an Australian street fight.
17:15Too easy.
17:24I accept.
17:28Good night, everybody.
17:34Hold on.
17:36Dallas,
17:37they walked in like some tough guys,
17:40but they seem to be walking out like a couple of bitches.
17:45Well,
17:50that seemingly did it.
17:51Oh my.
17:53Bite him now was the message that was delivered.
17:56And that looks like it's happening right now,
17:59Wade.
17:59Oh,
17:59just a few days before the Australian street fight.
18:03Here's a warm up.
18:05Crown Jewel in Perth.
18:07Oh God.
18:07It's been accepted.
18:09As he sends him outside onto the floor.
18:11Scraping the eyeballs of Roman Reigns there.
18:14Be careful what you wish for, Roman.
18:16This is what bad odds are.
18:17Oh, Superman.
18:19It sends him over,
18:20Timekeeper.
18:23Oh, and Roman's coming our way.
18:24Oh, Roman is clearing off the reinforced announce desk.
18:27And now here you see security coming down to try to tame the situation between big Bronson Reed and Roman Reigns.
18:38The way this was looking, Bronson Reed was not going to make it to Australia.
18:41Oh, there he goes.
18:44Crawling away.
18:47Over the barrier.
18:48Superman again.
18:53Superman again.
18:54Superman punch.
18:56And Clash in Paris, Reigns was stretched off because of the beatdown put on by big Bronson Reed.
19:10A week ago, he returned.
19:13And now tonight, the challenge was issued.
19:26It is official.
19:28Roman Reigns heads into enemy territory to face one of WWE's most dangerous superstars at Crown Jewel.
19:34Australia's own big Bronson Reed.
19:36And if the deck wasn't already stacked in Reed's favor, this won't just be any match.
19:41It's going to be an Australian Street Fight.
19:46Plus, two icons will collide when the 17-time world champion John Cena goes one-on-one with the phenomenal AJ Styles at Crown Jewel.
19:55The rivalry has helped define an era.
19:57Their matches have personified greatness.
19:59And now, the final chapter will be written when these two future Hall of Famers renew their rivalry for one final match at WWE Crown Jewel.
20:11In 2016, John Cena and AJ Styles met face-to-face for the first time.
20:19AJ Styles in the same arena with John Cena.
20:25Talk about a moment.
20:26And for the first time ever, fans all over the world were about to find out the answer to a decades-old question.
20:46What if John Cena faced AJ Styles?
20:49AJ Styles took the momentum and became the face that runs the place.
21:19But the story between two legends doesn't end there.
21:26Cena came back at AJ with a new fire inside him.
21:30One that propelled Cena to win the WWE Championship for a record-tying 16th time.
21:37And we have witnessed absolute greatness by both performers.
21:47With animosity dissolved and respect earned, John Cena and AJ Styles went their separate ways.
21:54Until now.
21:56With both men approaching the twilight of their careers, a call from the WWE Universe renewed their rivalry.
22:20At Crown Jewel, John Cena and AJ Styles will both try to ink their name in the last chapter of their story.
22:32Two generational talents.
22:41One final showdown.
22:46I'm backstage with AJ Styles.
23:01AJ, your long story rivalry with John Cena in the eyes of many fans is one of the best of all time.
23:08In fact, it was the WWE Universe that demanded this match.
23:12How have you been preparing for it?
23:14Well, the thing you need to know about, Steve-
23:16Oh, there he is.
23:17Hey, who checked you out at your folks home?
23:20AJ Styles, huh?
23:22Uncle AJ?
23:24What makes you think you're gonna beat John Cena when you couldn't even beat me?
23:28Hell, Rusev couldn't even beat me, and I'm still your double champ.
23:33And you have got nothing.
23:35Hey AJ, a little birdie told me that you and Dragon Lee want to challenge the WWE World Tag Team Champions, Finn Balor and J.D. McDonough.
23:46Well, take this from an old friend.
23:48You're making a huge mistake.
23:51Well, old friend, kinda sounds like a threat.
23:55I mean, it's easy to threat someone when there's three against one.
23:59So I'll tell you what, I'll grab Dragon Lee, we'll see if we can find a third.
24:02I'll talk to Adam Pearce and get us a six-man tag match tonight.
24:09And we'll see how tough you guys are.
24:11Right, old friend?
24:12Yeah.
24:16I told you we should have talked to him right here.
24:18I just think, huh?
24:20I wonder who he's gonna get as his partner.
24:22Doesn't even matter.
24:23Judgment Day is gonna take care of business like we always do.
24:27The Judgment Day didn't have to wait long to get an answer.
24:33The phenomenal AJ Styles is joining forces with Penta, El Cero Miedo, and the electrifying Dragon Lee
24:39to take down the Judgment Day once and for all.
24:42It's a colossal six-man tag team match.
24:44And it's next on Main Event.
24:52Like a dream.
24:57The end of an era is almost here.
25:25John Cena's final match will take place at Saturday Night's Main Event on Saturday, December 13th
25:32in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.
25:35Tickets will go on sale starting on Friday, October 17th at 10 a.m. Eastern,
25:39with presale beginning on Wednesday, October 15th via Ticketmaster.com.
25:44This is one of those events you do not want to miss.
25:46And the same goes for WWE Crown Jewel, where John Cena will battle his longtime rival AJ Styles one last time.
25:54But before AJ takes on the greatest of all time in Perth, the Phenomenal One has some unfinished business
25:59to settle with the Judgment Day last Monday on Raw.
26:02Well, Dirty Dom was getting baited in by this audience who apparently were supporting him a few moments ago.
26:11They turned on him and started cheering for Penta instead, got in the head of Dirty Dom.
26:16And that has allowed Drago to get out of trouble.
26:20That Dragon Bomb has opened the door for Penta.
26:27And he has been waiting for this moment.
26:30Like a cork out of a bottle, there is simply no stopping the tide against Penta when he's in this kind of form.
26:41And Finn is fighting out too.
26:43He used the roll through momentum against Dom and lends the DDT on Finn.
26:49So inventive, just incredible reflexes and reactions here.
26:53Now lining up something big, apparently.
26:58Oh, man, oh, man!
27:02And that took even a little something out of Penta.
27:05I think it was JD McDonough in a blink of an eye pulling out that standing reversal.
27:11Spanish Fly, I guess, not what Penta had in mind.
27:16Perhaps going for that Mexican Destroyer blink of an eye.
27:19That's the brilliance of JD McDonough.
27:22I don't know where it ends with that gap.
27:24Oh, here comes AJ Styles.
27:27This is exactly what he wanted tonight.
27:30Yeah, this is what this audience has been waiting for.
27:34Now the kid that is AJ Styles at the moment now exploding, and Dirty Dom is the unfortunate victim.
27:41Back on September 1st, he fought for the IC Championship against Dirty Dom.
27:48Now he's looking to finish him here.
27:49Styles, all the save by McDonough.
27:52Once again, he's been the MVP for the Judgment Day team.
27:56JD McDonough saving the day.
27:58Referee now has lost complete control of this.
28:02We got bodies everywhere, and there goes Penta.
28:07Bullseye, right on target, Balor down.
28:10Balor out, and then there were two.
28:13Meanwhile, in the ring, you can see Dom holding on for dear life.
28:17And delivering on that top rope across the neck of Styles as a way of creatively escaping to victory.
28:28And now some signature stuff from Dirty Dom.
28:31Oh, he was going for the 619, and all of a sudden he was paralyzed.
28:35Oh, he's here.
28:35Oh, good.
28:36Rusev is here.
28:37Rusev is coming down the ringside.
28:39Rusev, who was beaten in questionable fashion last week by Dirty Dom.
28:44Oh, God.
28:45And there is a break.
28:46Penta who apparently was aiming at Dirty Dom Mysterio,
28:54mistyed, connected with Rusev, and this match continues.
28:59Meanwhile, back in the ring, Styles lines up JD, Styles Clash.
29:06One, two, three.
29:09Here are your winners, the team of Penta,
29:16Dragon Link, and the phenomenal AJ Styles.
29:22Wait, you nailed it.
29:24Penta was going for the super kick.
29:28Now that I've got a second to talk, this match at Crown Jewel between AJ Styles and John Cena,
29:41AJ Styles and John Cena, we don't need a story, it writes itself.
29:51You got two men who will dance for the last time, and I will promise you this,
29:57we will leave it all in that ring.
30:01It will kick ass.
30:05It's gonna be awesome.
30:08The WWE Universe wanted it, and they're getting it.
30:12Coming up, the War Raiders return to battle, and make no mistake, they are on an absolute tear.
30:20Eric and Ivar remain undefeated here on Main Event with nine straight victories.
30:24But tonight, Los Americanos are up for the challenge, hungry, fearless, and ready to shock the world.
30:30Can they pull off the upset of the year, or will the War Raiders make it ten in a row?
30:35Find out next on Main Event.
30:37This November, the Padres' home field gets a whole new lineup.
30:46When WWE-
30:47An absolutely incredible scene.
30:50It's Petco Park.
30:53A slugfest for the ages.
30:57Oh, my goodness.
31:01The epic performance that no one will ever forget.
31:05WWE Survivor Series San Diego.
31:08Tickets on sale now.
31:20I was just three months into my WWE homecoming when I found myself forced onto the shelf.
31:42It's not at all how I pictured my road to the WWE Championship going.
31:49Recovering was hard, and quite honestly, it's lonely.
31:56Because you can get deep inside your own head on that long journey back.
32:00Doubt will try to break you.
32:03So I fought hard.
32:06I put in the work, and then I put myself in the Royal Rumble.
32:10I went through 29 other men and earned the right to face Roman Reigns for
32:15the undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
32:20And then on that fateful night in Los Angeles, I learned another hard lesson.
32:27You can't do it alone.
32:30And the reason you can't do it alone is because Roman Reigns doesn't do it alone.
32:37At one time, he had a shield, and now he has a bloodline.
32:44I tried to stay clear of Roman, let him run his little empire over on SmackDown, while I built
32:55up the legacy of the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw.
33:00But the fact is, there's no avoiding Roman Reigns.
33:07Eventually, he and his bloodline swallowed up all the air, until there was nothing left.
33:13And that type of power needed to be checked.
33:20And so I did something I never thought I'd do.
33:25Cody, I helped you.
33:28Together, at WrestleMania, we vanquished the bloodline.
33:32Together, we liberated the WWE Championship from the hands of Roman Reigns.
33:38I got to live out not just my dream, but my father's as well.
33:42And for that, Seth, I could not be more grateful.
33:48I helped you out.
33:50And it cost me everything.
33:53Cost me the World Heavyweight Championship.
33:56Cost me my health.
33:59And I could have lived with that.
34:01Because stopping Roman Reigns was worth it.
34:04But then, but then you threw it all away.
34:09Not even six months after finally purging Roman Reigns from WWE, you let him back in.
34:19You step into a ring with Roman, not as an opponent, but as his partner.
34:29After everything I sacrificed for you.
34:34Was that all for nothing?
34:37Personal evolution isn't just for architects and messiahs and visionaries and revolutionaries.
34:44The rest of us, yes, even Roman Reigns, we get a chance to evolve as well.
34:50I thought you, of all people, could see that enemies can become allies.
34:55What I see is that you are not fit to lead this company.
35:02What I see is that you do not have the fortitude to make the difficult decisions to ensure this company's future.
35:11You talk of the future, but all I see is you cribbing plays from the past.
35:17Surround yourself with some muscle.
35:19And a wise man.
35:20Excuse me.
35:21Oracle.
35:22And act like you are better than everyone else.
35:25But if you want to live in the past, that's fine by me.
35:28Because the scoreboard back there still reads 3-0.
35:34The thing is, WWE doesn't need a self-proclaimed QB1.
35:40What it needs is a vision.
35:43And at Crown Jewel, you will find out what happens to those who stand between me and fulfilling that vision.
35:51I have never been one to back down from a fight and now it's no different.
35:55So at Crown Jewel, you bring everything you have.
35:58Hell, bring everyone you have.
36:01And you'll find out that it's still not enough to beat me, Seth.
36:07After weeks of back and forth on both brands, including an assault on the Viper Randy Orton on SmackDown,
36:18the World Heavyweight Champion Seth Freakin' Rollins has made it clear that he will do whatever it takes
36:23to beat the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel.
36:27The WWE Universe can expect nothing less than an all-out war when these rival champions collide
36:32for the Men's Crown Jewel Championship in Perth.
36:35The Women's Crown Jewel Championship will also be up for grabs
36:39when the newly crowned Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer
36:42battles the WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton
36:45who is determined to solidify her place at the top of the women's division.
36:49Both superstars come into this match riding a wave of momentum.
36:52The question is, who will seize the gold and prove that they are the best of the best?
36:57We find out at Crown Jewel.
37:00Emotions will be running high when Io Sky teams up with Rhea Ripley
37:04against her former friends Asuka and Kyrie Saint
37:07in a highly personal tag team showdown at WWE Crown Jewel.
37:11But before these four warriors square off in Australia,
37:14we head back inside the American Airlines Center for some tag team action right here on Main Event.
37:19On Main Event.
37:23Oh, Vic, you ready for war once again?
37:26I'm wondering how many meat analogies you're gonna make during this match-up,
37:30but to answer your question, I'm always ready for war.
37:34The following is a tag team match kit of the one call, introducing first at a combined weight of 597 pounds,
37:49Eric in Ivar, the War Raiders.
38:06Blake, we're ready for war tonight, but we certainly had a showdown earlier this week between NXT and TNA.
38:14What a week it has been, and it continues today in Perth with Crown Jewel.
38:20And that showdown certainly was heavy in the tag team division this past Tuesday.
38:24As for the second consecutive week here, the War Raiders on Main Event this year
38:29as they look to keep making their championship case to Raw GM Adam Pearce.
38:33Speaking of GMs, gotta give a lot of credit to the NXT general manager, that being Ava,
38:37and those that work for her, such as the Prime Minister of Evolve, Stevie Turner,
38:42and the one and only Mr. Rob Stone, to work so well with TNA Director of Authority, Santino Morella.
38:49Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole.
38:55And our opponents, accompanied by a grande Americano,
39:03at a combined weight of 380 pounds, Los Americanos.
39:12Well, for the first time here on Main Event-
39:13So what are you gonna say now, Blake?
39:15There's three of them.
39:16What crazy conspiracy do you have now?
39:20Is that Chad Gable?
39:21Are you telling me Chad Gable's one of these three?
39:23He could be.
39:24Is he?
39:25I don't know for a fact.
39:26But earlier, every time we saw him before, he always, all that shit,
39:28yet you spoke with so much authority and conviction.
39:32Listen, the room...
39:33Is he out there now?
39:34The rumor mill's running wild right there, but...
39:36Rumor mill.
39:37Listen, Vic, I know you're getting your Crown Jewel party started early here for Los Americanos.
39:40Show some respect.
39:41These are all three are legendary luchadores.
39:45The more that I've learned about them by talking to Corey Graves,
39:48who, of course, is the voice of AAA.
39:50He has talked about how these three men have battled the likes of Mil Mascaris,
39:54Blue Demon, Super Porky, as a matter of fact.
39:58All three of these men have statues being built of them just outside of Mexico City, by the way.
40:03I don't think you've ever been to those cities, but that is what I have been told from Corey Graves.
40:07So how long have they been around?
40:08Oh, well over a decade.
40:10I mean, it made their name throughout Mexico.
40:12You see what they're doing right now in this matchup.
40:15I mean, this is a huge, huge matchup for Main Event.
40:18We are all a part of history in the making.
40:21So I guess we can call this Uno in here right now?
40:24See?
40:25This is what...
40:26You think you're funny.
40:27They're not the Los Conquistadors.
40:28They're...
40:29You know what?
40:30Keep it up.
40:31I'm already calling Braun Breaker after.
40:33And after this, we have a conversation with these three.
40:35As Ivar shuts down any offense right here from Los Americanos.
40:38But, Vic, talking about the War Raiders, how many times do they need to defeat the New Day to prove a point?
40:43Look, that's a great question.
40:44That's one that I cannot answer.
40:46That is for the general manager of Monday Night Raw.
40:48But, look, as much as we want to talk about the opponents in here being renowned in Mexico,
40:52the War Raiders are well-known in Japan.
40:54And Booker tells me all the time how helpful going over Japan was early in his career.
40:59Look at these double teams right here by Los Americanos.
41:02And a big pose!
41:04Oh, and so now you like him?
41:05Don't let that entrance fool you.
41:07I mean, it was grand.
41:08It was impressive.
41:09But when the bell rings, it is all business for these two.
41:13As they look to control the pace right here against Ivar.
41:15Of course, El Grande Americano has had his issues with AJ Styles.
41:19And tonight, Vic, the phenomenal one.
41:20And John Cena, one final time.
41:22One final time.
41:23It's gonna be absolutely amazing as another quick tag was made.
41:27I guess, is this Dose now?
41:29You called him Uno at the start of the matchup.
41:32I'm sorry, I got confused.
41:34One's wearing blue, one's wearing red.
41:36Like, how hard is it to figure out?
41:38So Uno and blue, Dose and red.
41:40You call him whatever you want.
41:41Oh!
41:42Because after this, you're gonna have some words with all three of these men as a tag was made.
41:44Some high elevation right there.
41:45Here comes Eric.
41:46And of course, Eric.
41:47My word.
41:48We're gonna continue this pace right now.
41:50War Raiders, by the way, so well rounded.
41:53And I do think at times it's forgotten how unique they are.
41:56The blend of power and athleticism.
41:58Not to mention the uncanny ability to know where the other one is at.
42:01Like we're seeing on display with the power right now for these two.
42:05And of course, that tag team cohesion.
42:07And it looks like Eric gonna pick up Ivar.
42:09That's a whole lot of meat right there, Vic.
42:11Here's your first meat reference.
42:13And also, I forgot to mention the combination offense.
42:15They are truly the total package.
42:17Sending Los Americanos to the outside.
42:19El Grande Americano trying to get him back.
42:21But right now, the War Raiders in control here on Main Event.
42:28Salt Lake City.
42:30Are you ready?
42:35Two nights of back-to-back action.
42:38Friday night's SmackDown brings the hype.
42:41Then Saturday night's Main Event takes it over the top.
42:44Big energy.
42:45Big moments.
42:46WWE.
42:47Salt Lake City.
42:48The stage is set.
42:50Friday, October 31st and Saturday, November 1st.
42:53Tickets on sale now.
42:54Big tag team match here on Main Event.
43:00Eric and Ivar controlling things right now against Los Americanos.
43:04And look at Eric right now with this high elevation.
43:07All the blood rushing to the head here of Dos.
43:09As much as we talked about in the opening matchup with the tag team division in SmackDown.
43:13And you already brought up the new day.
43:16War Raiders don't care who they face.
43:18They don't care what show it's on, what brand, what day of the week.
43:21They're out here to punish and pick up victories.
43:24But the referee was distracted.
43:26And look at what's going on now.
43:28Combination offense indeed.
43:29But this time from Los Americanos.
43:32And driving Eric face first.
43:35Here we go.
43:36Los Americanos into the cover.
43:37Shoulders are down.
43:38I gotta give a lot of credit to El Grande Americano here on the outside.
43:42Recruiting two of his friends to help guide them, build them up.
43:45And now they are here in the WWE.
43:47Well Vic, you certainly can't discount quite the skill set inside the ring here for Los Americanos.
43:51When you talk to, you know, Corey Graves, who obviously knows these guys so very well with everything going on in AAA.
43:57I think something is forgotten is when these three men started their careers over a decade ago in Mexico.
44:03They had to fight to survive.
44:05They had to fight to eat.
44:07The winner's purse, so to speak, that Booker always talks about on Tuesday.
44:10Go into the pay window.
44:11So that's why I'm saying now you're seeing a more aggressive style from these two.
44:15And what did you call it?
44:16This is Dos in your words?
44:18I believe it is.
44:19Those are your words, not mine.
44:20He's the aggressor of the group.
44:22He's the one that's going to ground, pound, and tear your ligaments apart.
44:25Trying to do that to Eric right here.
44:27Eric trying to get up and make a tag, but shuts him right down yet again.
44:30Of course, we've got a big tag team clash right here, tag made.
44:33But of course, another big one on the horizon.
44:35LA Knight now has CM Punk by his side in a battle with the Megastar's new rivals, the Usos.
44:40Huge match still to come.
44:41Monday Night Raw, nice double suplex.
44:44Listen Vic, can't take it away from them.
44:46These guys really working well together.
44:48They've been working together for well over a decade.
44:50I've now told you that three times, Blake.
44:52Do you just not accept the fact of the grandeur, the lineage, the history that we're witnessing right now on main event?
44:59The War Raiders have been on quite a roll on Monday Night Raw as well as main event right now.
45:03But Los Americanos looking to throw a wrench in the plans, of course.
45:06Everyone looking at the Judgment Day in those World Tag Team Championships.
45:09We talked earlier that SmackDown Tag Team Division really getting clouded.
45:12Raw is getting pretty stacked as well.
45:14It is, and you look at NXT as well.
45:16How about that showdown this past Tuesday?
45:18That showdown was absolutely amazing, and that's what I'm talking about.
45:21Everybody's so hungry right now in the WWE no matter what the brand is.
45:26Everyone wants their name in the marquee, and for the War Raiders, they know that every victory is so important to get their name back into championship contention.
45:35As Eric on the comeback trail right here, and Vic, ultimately what has that roadblock been for the War Raiders in the Tag Team Division?
45:41I don't like to throw the New Day under the bus, but I think it's because the New Day is scared.
45:46I mean, that just means-
45:48El Grande Americano, now El Grande a manager right there on the outside.
45:53You didn't even know the word to use, but I'll let you slide on that one.
45:56Oh!
45:57But whatever he's managing didn't work out because the advice is not very good whenever someone's running in to someone like Ivar.
46:04Ooh!
46:05Splat!
46:06Over 300 pounds coming crashing down right there.
46:09And the War Raiders, we talk about them looking to move to 9-0 here on Main Event.
46:13It'll be a stick and move strategy, but it's not gonna work right here, flattened.
46:18Ooh, that was a rump roast.
46:19It's Dos, and now Uno in here.
46:23It's not Uno and Dos, Blake.
46:25Show some respect.
46:27As Eric and Ivar are starting to cook right now.
46:30Ivar hasn't been positioned, double underhook, into the powerbomb.
46:33Nice.
46:34Sits out with it, shoulders are down.
46:35Oh!
46:36And a big save right there.
46:38Big save.
46:39This one's starting to break down a bit, all four superstars are in.
46:41As Los Americanos looking to pull off a major upset.
46:45Oh!
46:46And a gut buster there by Eric!
46:49And a big knee right underneath the jaw.
46:52Oh!
46:53And the action flying right here, Vic.
46:56Can't say it again, this is that speed, this is that quickness.
46:59This is, what, ten years of high-level Lucha Libre action.
47:05Oh!
47:06I spoke a little bit too soon.
47:08As Ivar showing off this, wait a minute.
47:10Vic, what did he just take out of his trunks?
47:12I think we've seen it in the past.
47:14And he handed it over and, well, the referee.
47:18Loading it up in his mask right now, the referee didn't see it.
47:21Referee checking on one of the Americanos.
47:23Ivar trying to take advantage, he gets clipped from behind.
47:26He can say that again, just his knees buckled.
47:28And now the double team in place right here.
47:31Divide and conquer.
47:32Oh!
47:33He can destroy in that loaded mask.
47:35Indeed, the mask connects into the cover.
47:38Do you believe in miracles?
47:40That is an upset.
47:41Here are your winners, Los Americanos!
47:47As much as I wanna talk about over a decade of experience, coming here to the WWE,
47:52taking on a team like the War Raiders.
47:54You gotta consider that an upset.
47:55It's a massive upset for the first time in 2025.
47:58The War Raiders lose here on main event.
48:00Let's take a look.
48:01The double team with that loaded mask comes into play.
48:04And Los Americanos come away with a huge win.
48:09Right now, let's head back to Raw as the best in the world, CM Punk.
48:13Return to the Red Hot Grand to address the WWE Universe.
48:16Following his victory alongside AJ Lee at Wrestle Palooza.
48:20While the Second City Saint has made his attention clear to take back the World Heavyweight Championship.
48:26It turns out Punk isn't the only one with his sights set on goal.
48:33What is this deja vu right now?
48:35I tell you what, we were in Paris.
48:37It's me, it's you, it's you.
48:39And you always knocking my door, always complaining.
48:42My God, man.
48:44Yeah, you had the World Heavyweight Championship.
48:47You lost it.
48:48Your time came, it went.
48:52Here's what I'm telling you.
48:54While you stand there thinking, it's your time.
48:57You're standing there thinking it's your time.
48:59No, no, it's my time.
49:00Yeah.
49:01And what I'm telling you is, you think that you lost the title because you're not quite Roman enough.
49:07That ain't quite right, my man.
49:11I'll tell you this, you're not Roman Reigns, you're not gonna be Roman Reigns.
49:14And as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing.
49:16That's okay.
49:17You carve your own path.
49:18But where you carve your path, your best shot right now, you might wanna focus on those tag titles.
49:23Although from what I saw last week, you probably wanna stop sucking at being a tag team.
49:28But while I'm at it, Jimmy, I didn't mean to give you any shrapnel, I know you and I are good, but this man keeps getting in my way, and I will off your own switch.
49:40And you got to understand what I will do to you, but when I'm talking about you, I got-
49:45Oh, super kick!
49:47It was time to shut him up, I guess, said Jay.
49:50Too much trash this evening to a fight up, Jay.
49:58All right.
49:59All right, I'm assuming we're cool, I'm assuming you interrupted him and not me.
50:04But I understand your passion, brother.
50:07You want that heavyweight championship, but you're gonna have to get in line behind me, and the man does have a point.
50:16Maybe you should focus on being a tag team, because I love Jey Uso.
50:25I don't like Little Roman.
50:31Jimmy looking to get in the middle of Punk and Jay.
50:36Peacemaker, just like John Cena, but it might not be enough.
50:39This thing's ready to explode.
50:42Jay's been taking the words of Roman Reigns recently.
50:45Oh!
50:46He tried to come around with a super kick, and Jimmy intercepted him.
50:49Jimmy, watch out!
50:50I've never seen it!
50:51I've never seen it!
50:52It is heated.
50:53Oh, Punk gets in!
50:54Punk is on the attack.
50:56A big red cage.
50:57That's what I mean!
50:58You stay out of my business!
50:59Oh, and Jimmy responds!
51:04Punk did shove Jimmy out the way there.
51:06I heard Punk say, you stay out of my business.
51:12Three men angling to be the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.
51:19Jimmy Uso always wanted to stand up for his family.
51:25For his twin brother, Jay got popped and needed to do something about it.
51:29Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:31Ayous, let's welcome these folks to go!
51:34After all hell broke loose between Jay Uso and LA Knight once again,
51:38the Megastar now finds himself paired up with CM Punk
51:41as the unlikely allies take on the 8-time World Tag Team Champions,
51:45the Usos,
51:46in a blockbuster tag team match
51:48that is sure to have championship implications.
51:51That is next on Main Event!
52:08Welcome back to Main Event!
52:29Earth Austria plays host to a whole slate of killer events this weekend,
52:33starting with SmackDown,
52:34followed by the groundbreaking Crown Jewel Premium Live Event,
52:37and it's all capped off with a star-studded Monday Night Raw.
52:42Dominic Mysterio finds himself in the crosshairs of another challenger
52:46when Dirty Dom defends the Intercontinental Championship
52:49against the man with no fear, Penta.
52:51Can Dirty Dominic Mysterio stand his ground as King of the Luchadors
52:56to retain the gold against one of the greatest luchadors in the world?
53:00We're going to find out next Monday on Raw.
53:04After multiple battles with the Judgment Day,
53:06as well as some pretty bizarre interactions with her former ally,
53:09Bayley in recent weeks, Lyra Valkyria,
53:11will join forces with their role model
53:13as Bayley and Lyra take on a pair of common enemies,
53:16Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez,
53:19next Monday on Raw.
53:22But before we move on to next week's StatCon,
53:24it's time to head back to Dallas,
53:26where the Usos reunited for an epic clash with CM Punk and LA Knight last Monday.
53:35The Usos, CM Punk, and LA Knight.
53:37These four have only shared the ring one time,
53:40and that was the Royal Rumble last winter when Jay Uso won it.
53:45But unique circumstances we're dealing with tonight.
53:48As CM Punk came out, was addressing the crowd,
53:50talking about his future plans,
53:51wanting to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship again.
53:54LA Knight got into the mix.
53:56He was saying, no, it's my turn to get after it.
53:58Jay Uso came down.
53:59The next thing you know, everybody's getting after everybody,
54:02and here we are in a main event.
54:04I'll tell you what really impresses me, Joe.
54:06There have been some clear tensions between the Usos of late.
54:09There's this horrible allegation that Jay is trying to turn himself into little Roman.
54:14He's barking orders at Jimmy.
54:16When the bell rings, they look as good as ever.
54:20It's like that instinct kicks back in.
54:22Whatever issues they've had between themselves and Roman go out of the window
54:27and they just click back into that top-level tag team gear.
54:31that they own.
54:34Eight times the tag team champions.
54:37Of course, a week ago, winning the Tornado Tag Team match against The Vision.
54:41Roman Reigns playing a major role there.
54:44Roman Reigns, as you alluded to, is playing a major role in the psyche of Jay Uso.
54:49It's working. I like this side of Jay Uso.
54:52He's a little more cutthroat.
54:54At one point, he was friends with LA Knight, but Roman Reigns told Jay very specifically,
55:00No, it's about blood. If they ain't blood, you don't help them.
55:03And LA Knight managed to help himself on that one.
55:06Get out of trouble, but needs this tag.
55:08Oh! A jumping neckbreaker by LA Knight, who is desperate to get to CM Punk.
55:14And let me posit this. What would the smart thing to do have been there?
55:18Jump into a neckbreaker or jump for the tag?
55:21And now LA Knight needs to make this tag.
55:24I feel like he had the opportunity. He might make it anyway, though. He's close. There it is.
55:29Here comes CM Punk.
55:32Now dropping the man who super kicked him earlier tonight.
55:38And Jimmy was trying to play peacemaker.
55:43The next thing you know, Punk pushed him aside,
55:46threw a big right hand at Jay Uso, and Jimmy had decided it was time.
55:53And his super kick was landed.
55:55Big running knee by Punk, right into that corner.
55:58Jewelry game flying off Jimmy Uso at one point, and the referee has pocketed that.
56:03Sell that for a pretty penny post-match, but CM Punk doesn't care about that.
56:08He's got a wing in his sails.
56:10We're gonna make a statement here.
56:12This is less pawn shop and more big time concern with CM Punk up on that top rope here in Dallas,
56:20looking to fly and deliver the elbow.
56:23Ooh, yeah.
56:31And he's saying it is time.
56:36Looking to line up the GTS.
56:39And Jimmy able to free himself and land the super kick.
56:45And now here comes Jay.
56:48Just like that, in sync, the Uso's doing what they do best.
56:52Jay lands the splash to put this away, hooks the leg, and L.A. Knight comes in for the save.
56:59L.A. Knight with a little tag team timing there.
57:01Needing that because that was game over for Punk.
57:04And this one breaking down.
57:07And an inadvertent collision there between L.A. Knight.
57:10Whoa!
57:11Jimmy Uso, BFT dropping Jimmy.
57:13A BFT drops Jimmy, but then a super kick.
57:16And here's the roll up.
57:18One, two, three.
57:20This one's spilling out at all angles right now.
57:23Oh!
57:24Spear!
57:25Oh, a big spear from Jay Uso.
57:27Straight out of the Roman Reigns playbook, which is a playbook Jay Uso is firmly subscribed to at the moment.
57:35Remember, Jay took a BFT.
57:38Well, Jay had the opportunity to finish Punk, that got distracted by L.A. Knight.
57:42Oh, he's up.
57:43He's got him in position.
57:44Punk's got him in position.
57:46And the GTS is to look.
57:48What is L.A. Knight doing?
57:49L.A. Knight just tacked himself in.
57:51Here are your winners, the team of CM Punk and L.A. Knight.
58:04L.A. Knight did the work to close it out.
58:08CM Punk, Punk.
58:10CM Punk did the work and L.A. Knight took the glory.
58:13He's tagged himself in there, Wade.
58:16Let's take another look at this go-to-sleep from CM Punk, knocking Jay Uso out cold.
58:22But before he could make the pin, L.A. Knight scampers up, tags Punk, and steals the victory.
58:30Now, this win here is pivotal because it adds more weight to L.A.'s claim that he's got next on World Heavyweight champ Seth Freakin' Rollins after Crown Jewel.
58:42Doesn't Punk know it.
58:45The next stop is 10,700 flight miles away.
58:49Perth, Australia.
58:50Remember, a special start time of 8 a.m. Eastern on Saturday for Crown Jewel.
58:55Best versus best.
58:57Champs versus champs.
58:59It is going to be special.
59:00We'll see you from Western Australia.
59:02You're damn right.
59:04Yeah!
