00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00Two weeks from tomorrow, the WWE heads to Europe once again
01:10to feel the electric atmosphere in France for Clash in Paris.
01:14Welcome to the main event.
01:30The following contest is scheduled for 4-1 fall.
01:34Accompanied by Nathan Tracer is one half of Traxion.
01:40Traxion!
01:41Getting the action started here with the Aerial Specialist
01:45has certainly put on quite a display in that TLC match at SummerSlam
01:49as we welcome you in.
01:50Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT, Vic Joseph.
01:53Vic, right up against Clash in Paris.
01:56Well, look, I'm very excited for everything that's going to transpire this month
01:59and here tonight because I have covered both these men
02:02all the way back during their time in NXT.
02:05Well, I guess you wait till next year.
02:08I'm at the top, get respect, while I get fit.
02:11Who married my mom?
02:12Tell him to step here.
02:14Who married my mom?
02:17Cause I'm the greatest to argue in the...
02:19And his opponent from Boston, Massachusetts
02:23weighing in at 210 pounds
02:26Carmelo Hayes!
02:33Carmelo is certainly feeling himself here tonight
02:35for the first time in nearly 30 months.
02:37Him returns to main event.
02:39Though Vic recently has faced some uncertainties.
02:42He certainly has.
02:43And look, this isn't a knock against Carmelo Hayes.
02:46And as I said, I was sitting ringside with Booker T, Wade Barrett.
02:50The list goes on during his run in NXT.
02:54He was once.
02:56Him.
02:57I think he's trying to refine that confidence right now.
03:01I think there's a lot of inner turmoil for Carmelo Hayes.
03:05And this certainly is going to be a good test
03:07as we look into the eyes of Axiom.
03:08Well, it's certainly been quite a while
03:09since we've seen a jersey hung in the rafters.
03:12Say that again.
03:12For Carmelo Hayes.
03:14But going back to Axiom, once again,
03:15how incredible of a display for Fraxium in TLC at SummerSlam.
03:19I mean, SummerSlam was absolutely amazing.
03:21All the participants in that matchup.
03:23I mean, it was electrifying.
03:25It was certainly a match that's going to be talked about.
03:27Perhaps one of the best tag team matches
03:30to ever take place at SummerSlam.
03:32But here's the interesting part about this match to me, Blake.
03:34Axiom is typically a tag team specialist.
03:37Indeed.
03:37How is he going to, you know, kind of fare
03:39getting back into solo competition?
03:41We've certainly seen him have a success in the singles ranks.
03:44Of course, you remember before Fraxium came together,
03:46that series of matches he had with Nathan Fraser
03:48certainly put himself on the map in NXT.
03:50But going back to the tag team ranks,
03:52look at a Friday night SmackDown.
03:54What statement has Fraxium sent
03:55to the SmackDown tag team division
03:56ever since Thera Wright?
03:58They've been playing an uphill battle, right?
04:00You come in with a lot of glitz and glam, so to speak.
04:03Former two-time NXT tag team champions.
04:06Some have said Fraxium is the greatest
04:07NXT tag team of all time.
04:09That certainly puts a big chip on your shoulder.
04:13356 days as NXT tag team champions
04:15covering two different reigns,
04:17as they certainly held their own
04:19against all the up-comers in NXT.
04:21Axiom looking to show off right here.
04:23Look at those smooth moves.
04:24He's speedy.
04:25He's crafty.
04:26He's calculated as well.
04:28An uncanny ability to dissect movements
04:30of his opponents with a precise angle to counter.
04:33That is what Axiom is.
04:35That is what he brings to the table.
04:36What a story for Axiom.
04:37Just a kid from Madrid to a WWE superstar.
04:40He moves like a blur.
04:42He swings like a cobra.
04:44What an incredible aerial display right there
04:48coming right through, taking down Carmelo Hayes.
04:50Now, Axiom looking to capitalize right now.
04:52Of course, Fraxium would love to eventually
04:53get an opportunity against the Wyatt Six.
04:55Certainly would.
04:56You know, they love to wear gold at this level.
04:59But for Axiom, and you see Nathan Frazier
05:01on the outside, Axiom's got to worry
05:03about the here and the now.
05:05And that is Carmelo Hayes.
05:07We always wonder, is Fraxium fine?
05:09But right now, looking at Carmelo Hayes,
05:10are Carmelo Hayes and The Miz still on the same page?
05:12Look, I don't.
05:13Whoa!
05:14That's that beautiful athleticism Carmelo Hayes has.
05:17I don't know why he doesn't want to team
05:19with The Miz, because he's balling right now.
05:21I would love to do commentary or golf with The Miz.
05:25Anyone can learn from The Miz.
05:27He's the only two-time Grand Slam champion.
05:29Look at it, disrespect the mask here of Axiom,
05:33as Carmelo Hayes certainly doesn't always show respect
05:37to his opponents here into the cover.
05:38Hooks that outside leg.
05:39And don't get it twisted.
05:40Only gets two.
05:41Carmelo Hayes is battle-tested.
05:43He's competed for championships.
05:44He's gone against the likes of Cody Rhodes.
05:46He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
05:49Indeed.
05:49What he hasn't found is consistent success on SmackDown.
05:56Big takedown there against Axiom.
05:58Now Melo drops the leg here into the cover once again.
06:02Shoulders are down.
06:03Only gets two.
06:04But, Vic, talking about Carmelo Hayes and Miz a little bit here,
06:07does Melo have a point saying he was left high and dry?
06:10I'm sure yes or no.
06:11It depends on how you want to look at it.
06:12I mean, everyone has their own vantage points,
06:14their own viewpoints, so to speak.
06:16But sometimes it's tough love.
06:18But sometimes you just have to weather a storm, so to speak,
06:21which Axiom has done up front in this matchup.
06:24Speaking of left high and dry, coming up next,
06:25we're going to hear from the voice of the voiceless.
06:28CM Punk, who certainly has a lot to say
06:29and emotions running wild through his mind.
06:32Certainly are.
06:33And, you know, if you didn't hear what CM Punk had to say,
06:35you do not want to miss it here on Main Event.
06:37And Axiom.
06:39Half-Dragon Suplex.
06:41That could be it.
06:41And a big strike into the cover.
06:44And, you know, I want to say this, too, about Carmelo Hayes.
06:46I don't know if he has added more pressure to himself.
06:49A lot of weight comes with being a top pick.
06:51That's what Nick Aldis made him when he was drafted to SmackDown.
06:55He doesn't want to be known as Zach Wilson.
06:57He wants to come out here and he wants to perform.
06:58Wants to be that franchise player we talk about.
07:00A two-time former NXT North American champion,
07:03former NXT champion,
07:04has already spent over 450 days with gold in the WWE.
07:08Axiom up on his perch.
07:11That's what I mean by battle-tested.
07:13Nothing he hasn't seen.
07:14Oh!
07:15And Melo showing off that athleticism once again.
07:18Big takedown.
07:20Oh!
07:20And look at the counter there by Axiom.
07:22That's what I said about being crafty and calculated.
07:24Into that rear naked choke.
07:25Melo nowhere to go.
07:26Nice counter.
07:27Pulls back over.
07:27Shoulders are down.
07:28And Melo with a counter attempt.
07:30Ooh.
07:31And Carmelo now starting to feel it.
07:34He's gonna feel that.
07:35Feels the soul of Axiom.
07:37Both superstars down right now.
07:39Bray's around the outside trying to rally his tag team partner
07:42and listen to the WWE universe.
07:45We question whether The Miz could be standing between Carmelo, Hayes,
07:48and singles greatness.
07:49Melo all on his own here tonight.
07:51Looking to win that MVP award.
07:53Well, look.
07:54If he's able to pick up a win, then maybe, yeah,
07:57he throws right back to The Miz's face.
07:58If he doesn't, you have to think that maybe there is something
08:01to what The Miz has been preaching Friday on SmackDown.
08:05Axiom scratching and crawling right now with that rear waist lock.
08:08Runs Melo into the ropes.
08:09Melo puts on the brakes.
08:10Axiom pops right back up and eats the super kick of Carmelo, Hayes.
08:14Surprise, Hayes didn't go for the cover at that juncture,
08:17but I think he has bigger things in mind because you know
08:21trying to send a message.
08:25As Melo right now, looking to look at a sharpshooter here.
08:33Axiom!
08:34Oh, has some words for Axiom, but Vic, that hesitation might cost him.
08:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:38There you go, inside cradle.
08:39Axiom, hasn't been a pity combination.
08:42Melo able to kick out.
08:44Axiom, who's known for his submissions.
08:46Carmelo Hayes wanted to try to beat him in his own game.
08:48And Axiom right now might try to one-up Melo right in the center of the ring.
08:53Look at this.
08:54Can he turn him, Vic?
08:57Tries to sit back right on that lower lumbar region.
08:59Melo looks to crawl.
09:01An excellent ring positioning for Carmelo Hayes.
09:03Yeah, but Axiom was sending a message in his own way.
09:06One-upping Carmelo for a moment.
09:08Oh!
09:08Oh, and Melo greets that separation.
09:11Axiom collides with official Gary Wilson right there.
09:14Melo goes right back to the mask, Vic.
09:15Showing no respect.
09:18One, two, three, two.
09:21Drops Axiom, and Melo don't miss.
09:24Here is your winner, Carmelo Hayes!
09:33Finds a way to do it, Vic.
09:36Melo up on top yet again here tonight.
09:38Let's take another look right here.
09:43Axiom's starting to roll a bit.
09:45Connects with that big superkick.
09:47You see Nathan Fraser cheering his tag team partner on.
09:49This is the turning point.
09:50The inadvertent contact with the official.
09:53Carmelo Hayes right back to the mask.
09:55Opening the door to slam it shut here on Main Event.
09:58Crafty Carmelo picking up a big victory right now, Vic.
10:02Amidst his turmoil with The Miz.
10:04Carmelo Hayes trying to build off of that Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal victory
10:08over WrestleMania weekend.
10:10And now Carmelo Hayes with a big win, and him is back here on Main Event.
10:19The ultra-confident Carmelo Hayes scores an impressive win to kick things off on Main Event.
10:24According to Grayson Waller, it's not cocky if you back it up.
10:27And coming up, the trash-talking Aussie icon will try to do just that,
10:31but he goes one-on-one with Akira Tozawa tonight.
10:34Speaking of confidence, the Visions leader, Seth freaking Rollins,
10:37is as empowered as ever after pulling off the heist of the summer.
10:45Oh.
10:47My.
10:48God.
10:51Ruse of the century.
10:53We have absolute power.
11:03And there is nobody who can stop us.
11:09Let me talk to you.
11:12I was the last one to beat you,
11:14and I'll damn sure be the next one to beat you.
11:17And there's no better time than now.
11:23No.
11:28You stole a great moment from the people at SummerSlam.
11:32It's only fitting that I steal something from you.
11:35It will be Seth freaking Rollins versus L.A. Knight.
11:42It will be for the World's Heavyweight Championship.
11:47And listen closely.
11:48This is my favorite part.
11:50Braun, Bronson, you boys are banned from ringside.
11:55Seth wants to establish dominance.
12:04Remember, it's about absolute power, and this will do it.
12:07This is a hell of a way to send a message.
12:12Punk!
12:13CM Punk!
12:14Through the crowd!
12:15CM Punk attacking Rollins!
12:18I think reality just struck L.A. Knight.
12:21CM Punk's interference just cost Knight his match.
12:23Oh!
12:28Broadbreaker in the Arcella!
12:30Big Bronson Reed out here!
12:34And things are about to go real bad for Night Punk here.
12:48This is the message.
12:49This is the warning to the roster.
12:52Come at the king.
12:52You best not missed.
13:01Roman Reigns is here!
13:05And now for the first time since the betrayal of WrestleMania,
13:10Roman Reigns gonna get his hands on Rollins.
13:17Oh, Brinker.
13:18Brinker tried to get Roman from behind.
13:20The O.T.C. is a one-man army right now.
13:27Stomp!
13:28A stomp by Rollins!
13:31Roman never saw it coming.
13:38Absolute power and total control.
13:42Reigns!
13:43Reigns!
13:43Reigns!
13:44Reigns!
13:45Night!
13:45Punk!
13:46Prok!
13:47Lay it out cold!
13:47Now Coles, never doubt Seth Freakin' Rollins again.
13:56The Second City Saint is still reeling from the beatdown he suffered at the hands of Seth Freakin' Rollins and his two co-conspirators,
14:03Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed.
14:05Coming up, CM Punk has some things to get off of his chest.
14:08Find out what Punk has to say to the World Heavyweight Champion next on Main Event.
14:17This November, the Padres' home field, it's a whole new lineup.
14:25When WWE, an absolutely incredible scene.
14:31It's Pepco Park.
14:34A slugfest for the ages.
14:37Oh my goodness.
14:38The epic performance that no one will ever, ever forget.
14:49WWE Survivor Series San Diego.
14:52Tickets on sale now.
15:00Welcome back to Main Event.
15:01We are coming to you from the beautiful Quebec City this week.
15:04Affectionately known as the City of 100 Steepers.
15:07However, inside the jam-packed arena, the mood was anything but affectionate
15:12as CM Punk addressed the World Heavyweight Championship situation.
15:18If you thought before, I was relentless in pursuit of my goals.
15:23If you thought before, I was obsessed with becoming champion.
15:28After realizing that goal and the reality of holding it in my hands and looking at you,
15:34the emotion in all your faces, I promise you, I'm even more possessed to regain that title.
15:46They say hate the player and not the game.
15:48And I don't hate the game.
15:49I've cashed in on a few people in my time.
15:52But boy, do I hate the player, Seth Rollins.
15:56You're following in my footsteps.
16:02You're pretending to be CM Punk.
16:04And you pretended to be injured in order to let everybody's guard down so you could cash in
16:10when the time was right.
16:12Here's another promise, Seth.
16:14I'm gonna get my title back.
16:16I'm gonna take it from you.
16:18And when I get my hands on you, you're not gonna have to pretend to be injured anymore
16:22because I'm gonna break your legs.
16:24Well, Corey, here's someone I can guarantee is not in a pleasant mood tonight.
16:46Had an opportunity last week at the World Championship before that chaotic ending.
16:52End of the matchup.
16:52LA Knight definitely has a lot on his mind and even more to say.
16:58What an ovation for the arrival of the defiant megastar.
17:22You got something to say?
17:32Of course I got something to say.
17:40So let me talk to you.
17:41SummerSlam, my man.
17:46Let's be honest.
17:47Everybody here knows, the whole world knows, you were robbed.
17:50You climbed the mountain.
17:54You rose to the moment.
17:55You defeated Gunther.
17:56You became the World Heavyweight Champion once more.
18:00I'm gonna tell you right now, you deserve, beyond a shadow of a doubt,
18:08you deserve to have your rematch, absolutely.
18:14Yeah.
18:16Yeah.
18:17Yeah.
18:18Yeah.
18:19Yeah.
18:20Yeah.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Yeah.
18:22But.
18:24Last week, I'm having my match.
18:33It has nothing to do with you.
18:35I'm having my match with Seth Rollins, and what do you do?
18:39You come down, you just can't contain yourself.
18:43You have to attack Seth Rollins.
18:45You get me disqualified, and now I lose my opportunity.
18:50My man, I understand it, but wrong place, wrong time.
18:55Yeah.
18:57Yeah.
18:57Yeah.
19:01So what I'm telling you, we don't have a problem.
19:06I'd like to keep it that way.
19:08But what I'm telling you is I'm gonna need you, if you wanna get Seth Rollins,
19:14my God, get Seth Rollins, whip his ass.
19:17But if you're gonna do it, do it on your time.
19:21If you're gonna do it, do it after the bell rings.
19:25Because at this point, you do deserve your rematch.
19:29You should get your rematch.
19:31But bottom line is, you get your rematch after I get mine.
19:35Okay,
19:42I think I see your perspective.
19:46But I think the words you're looking for were, thank you, Mr. Punk.
19:52For preventing Seth Rollins from ending my career.
19:57Did you think you were gonna become heavyweight champion after he stomped your
20:01head into concrete like a coconut, huh?
20:03No.
20:07So you're welcome for saving your life, for saving your career.
20:12And I am a former heavyweight champion, something you cannot claim to be.
20:18So when it comes to end the line and who gets a title shot,
20:22it's me you're looking at as the number one contender.
20:25You can get back of the line.
20:27Yeah.
20:31Well, I hope you feel like you got what you want,
20:36because at least a couple of people were saying thank you.
20:40When I think about what you did,
20:42it's not thank that I want to say before you, if you get what I'm saying.
20:47What I'm telling you, yeah, you've been a world heavyweight champion 12 years.
20:51It's been a long drought.
20:53It was long overdue.
20:54But bottom line, yeah, I haven't been there yet.
20:56So way more overdue.
20:58Now you want to talk about, I heard you say a little bit ago, there's levels to this.
21:03Yeah, there are levels to this.
21:04And as good as you are, best in the world, you ain't on mine.
21:08So what I'm telling you is in the spirit of,
21:13like I said a minute ago, we don't have a problem.
21:17I'd like to keep it that way.
21:18And in order to keep that way, I'm gonna do you two favors.
21:22I'm gonna do you two favors.
21:23Here's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna forget last week happened, okay?
21:26As long as you don't do it again.
21:28Don't step over the line.
21:30Favor two, favor two.
21:36I'm gonna go beat Seth Rollins.
21:39I'm gonna become world heavyweight champion.
21:44Yeah.
21:45And then favor two.
21:49Then you can be my first successful title defense, yeah.
21:53You're gonna do me a favor.
21:59Okay, you can say that.
22:00In the spirit of making sure there's no bad blood or no problems here.
22:05Cuz I don't want a problem with LA night, no problems here.
22:10I got a Seth Rollins problem, you got a Seth Rollins problem.
22:14Now listen, partner, I'm the best in the world.
22:23Yeah.
22:24Wow.
22:26Ladies and gentlemen.
22:28That's all the French I speak, I'm sorry.
22:56Uh, merci beaucoup, uh, Frank Delois, Eduardo Carpentier, George St. Pierre, uh, anything that
23:09gets us in and out of this province speaking your guttural language.
23:16I'm gonna need subtitles if you're gonna chant at us.
23:30I'm gonna need subtitles if you're gonna chant at us tonight.
23:46Speaking of guttural language, LA Knight, take it from the adorable Oracle.
23:58Do not get into the favor business with CM Punk.
24:12You start trading favors with that man right there.
24:17It will cost you everything in life.
24:21It will cost you your self respect.
24:24It will cost you your position in WWE.
24:27It will cost you half of your career.
24:30It'll cost you years of your life.
24:32It'll cost you your tribal chief.
24:34It'll cost you- All right, all right, you cry baby.
24:37You're gonna piss your pants, sit there and talk all night.
24:40Somebody's getting punched in the face tonight.
24:42If you want me to put hands on both your chins, or the brown bronze, be my guest.
24:47Come on down.
24:48Come on down.
24:49Come on down.
24:51Come on down.
24:56Well, it seems that I did teach you well after all these years.
25:05That is one hell of an idea.
25:10Let's do it tonight.
25:13CM Punk and LA Knight.
25:25Please don't do that when I'm talking.
25:28Versus the future of WrestleMania, Braun Breaker.
25:43And the owner of the Shulafalla, the Tribal Thief, Big Bronson Reed.
25:52And that challenge is for tonight.
25:59I'm not sure if you can get it through your big bloated head or not.
26:18We weren't out here looking for those two gooses walking Foot Locker.
26:22What we want.
26:24You know what?
26:25There's enough talking.
26:26You wanna fight?
26:27You got it.
26:28Let's do it.
26:29We accept.
26:30Hey, hey, hey, hey.
26:31You don't talk for me.
26:32Yeah, we will accept it.
26:34You never talk for me.
26:35You guys wanna get kicked?
26:37You can get it stomped in tonight.
26:39Yeah.
26:40Yeah.
26:42Dio, see you tonight.
26:45There's no question that both CM Punk and LA Knight have legitimate arguments for why they should be next in line to challenge Seth Freak and Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.
26:59But coming up, the best in the world will join forces with the megastar as these unlikely allies take on a common enemy, Ron Breaker and Big Bronson Reed tonight.
27:09But right now, Maxine Dupree gets the opportunity of a lifetime.
27:13But standing in her way as one of the most decorated champions in WWE history.
27:18We'll find out if Maxine can conquer the toughest test of her career when the Alpha Babes star takes on the man Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
27:26Next.
27:27Next.
27:34You walked into my life just like a dream.
27:36Ooh!
27:37Still you walked me like a dream.
27:54Welcome back to Main Event.
28:07Triple Mania is AAA's biggest show of the year.
28:10And it will emanate live from the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Saturday,
28:15August 16th at 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific.
28:18It will be broadcast live in both English and Spanish on our WWE YouTube channels.
28:23Don't miss Triple Mania tonight.
28:27One of the marquee match-ups on the card will feature El Hijo Del Viquingo
28:31defending his title against Dominic Mysterio, El Grande Americano, and Dragon Lee
28:36in a star-studded Fatal 4A match for the AAA Mega Championship.
28:40While we look forward to Triple Mania later tonight, it's time to head back to Monday Night Raw,
28:45where the Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch put her title on the line
28:48when she squared off against Maxine Dupree for the first time ever.
28:53And once you experience the reality of the situation as Maxine is about to-
28:59Went for the manhandle slam, and Maxine turned it into a stunner.
29:03And Maxine now, they have an opening.
29:07Becky went for the manhandle slam, and Maxine countered into a stunner.
29:11And now Maxine's got a chance here.
29:16What is Maxine gonna do with that chance?
29:18Out of the way just in time.
29:19And now Maxine, nobody home, Becky Lynch, got caught.
29:25And now Maxine, Maxine looking for an ankle lock now.
29:30You know where she learned this when she was under the tutelage of Chad Gable.
29:33Absolutely right, Maxine cranking with all she's worth, but Lynch able to escape.
29:38Now look at a surprise, Becky with a clothesline.
29:42And Maxine now, bringing the intensity and the fire.
29:48Got to be careful, she's not disqualified here.
29:51It's a championship match.
29:54Maxine does not want to let this opportunity slip through her fingers.
29:58But the man, Becky Lynch wisely rolling to the outside.
30:01Here comes Dupree.
30:02You got to give Maxine credit to stay on the attack here, Kerry.
30:04Well, Maxine understands the assignment.
30:07Does she have enough tools in her toolbox to finish the job?
30:10Baseball slide, and now Maxine up to the apron.
30:12Becky Lynch in trouble center of the ring.
30:14Maxine now gonna climb to the top rope.
30:16Oh my God, can you imagine this upset, Cole?
30:18Maxine crossbody, lateral press, looking to win the championship.
30:22And Becky's got to kick out at two.
30:27Maxine Dupree now looking to Natalya for advice.
30:30She can't get frustrated.
30:33Is Maxine thinking about the sharpshooter?
30:35And Becky Lynch able to counter.
30:39Big spin kick from Dupree.
30:42Using those long legs to her advantage.
30:46And now roll up, shoulders down.
30:48Champ is in trouble.
30:49Got to scoot out now.
30:50Now she's got Maxine pinned.
30:52Grabs the ropes in the official corner.
30:56Maxine looking to steal a win here.
30:58Becky at two.
30:59Now Becky and the disarmor.
31:02The disarmor locked in.
31:03Becky's submission move.
31:04Maxine's got to tap out.
31:06Here is your winner by submission.
31:14And still, the Women's Intercontinental Champion.
31:21The man, Becky Lynch.
31:25Becky trash talking Maxine.
31:27Natalya coming in there to comfort Maxine.
31:32And now look at Becky Lynch from behind.
31:36I'll give you that.
31:37That was uncalled for.
31:40Well, Maxine Dupree has nothing to be ashamed of.
31:44Very game effort tonight against the champion, Becky Lynch.
31:48This is my championship.
31:50I do what I want.
31:52I do what I want.
31:56Coming up, it's a battle of speed versus swagger.
31:58When the lightning fast Akira Tozawa takes on the loud mouth from down under Grayson Waller.
32:04Will Tozawa's high octane offense shut Waller up?
32:06Or will the Grayson Waller effect steal the spotlight here in Quebec City?
32:11Find out next on Main Event.
32:13This summer, WWE and Paris join forces for two unstoppable nights.
32:27With the first ever clash in Paris, followed by a massive Monday Night Raw.

33:11From the bright lights of Paris, France, to the vibrant streets of French speaking Montreal.
33:16The language may be the same, but the energy hit a whole new level as John Cena addressed
33:21the WWE Universe and Brock Lesnar for the first time since SummerSlam.
33:25I don't know in what universe me right now would ever actually choose Brock Lesnar as an opponent.
33:39But you and I, we've known each other for a long time.
33:42And you know there is no universe in which I ever back down from Brock Lesnar.
33:50Am I afraid?
33:54Yes.
33:56Am I afraid?
33:58Hell yes.
33:59I'm afraid Brock Lesnar just got himself a John Cena problem.
34:06I am afraid that every single WWE superstar just got themselves a big old John Cena problem.
34:15Time is winding down.
34:19And if any of y'all saw SummerSlam, you know that I am not going down without a fight.
34:24So Brock Lesnar, when you want some, come and get some.
34:29And to anyone brave enough to walk the aisle and stand on this canvas to face off
34:39with the last real champion, just know that I plan on going down guns blazing.
34:50The last time is now.
34:52The last time is now.
34:53So if you want some, come and get some.
34:58You turn into a charity case.
35:22You're out here just giving out matches.
35:25Oh, how about this?
35:26Damn, John.
35:27I want one.
35:29You want a match?
35:31I would love a match with you, John Cena.
35:33Logan Paul versus John Cena.
35:37Oh man, that sounds pretty damn good.
35:41Be careful what you wish for, man.
35:43You want a match with me?
35:44Are you sure about that?
35:45I am damn sure, John Cena.
35:47Montreal, how's that sound?
35:52Logan Paul versus John Cena.
35:57In a beautiful French-speaking country in the middle of France,
35:59Roman.
36:02Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Montreal.
36:03Don't be ridiculous.
36:04You don't deserve this.
36:05Logan Paul versus John Cena.
36:07No, no, no, no, no, Montreal, don't be ridiculous.
36:12You don't deserve this.
36:14Logan Paul versus John Cena at Clash in Paris.
36:18I mean, that's box office.
36:22That's headline.
36:24You're gonna have these French people line in the Champs d'Alice, and then-
36:27Thank you, Cena, thank you, Cena, thank you, Cena, thank you, Cena.
36:45That's so cool.
37:01Come on, come on, come on.
37:07Logan Paul against John Cena, Clash in Paris, I accept.
37:13The stage is setting.
37:18The last real champion will grace Paris France with his presence one final time.
37:23When John Cena faces off against the Maverick, Logan Paul.
37:26Will Cena's return to form start off with a bang?
37:29Or will the social media megastar capture his most viral win yet against
37:32the greatest of all time?
37:34Find out on Sunday, August 31st, at Clash in Paris.
37:38Oh, Vic, get ready for the stamina monster.
37:44About to feel the power of Tozawa.
37:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
37:59Introducing first, representing Alpha Academy, from Kobe, Japan,
38:06bringing in by 156 pounds, Akira Tozawa.
38:16Akira Tozawa joining us once again at one time dub, the workhorse here of main event.
38:20The stamina monster back in action for the first time in about two and a half months.
38:23Recharged and rejuvenated and ready to secure a dunk.
38:30As Tozawa enters all on his own here tonight, looking very focused for victories.
38:36Had some turmoil over the last couple of months.
38:38Trying to also get the job done here.
38:41As Clash in Paris is presented by Riyadh Season.
38:47The ultimate entertainment festival with live shows, sports, food, fashion and theme parks.
38:51Starting October 2025, perfect for all ages.
38:54He's also trying to swing some positive momentum back his way after what happened this past Monday on Raw.
39:03And his opponent, from Sydney, Australia, bring in for 294 pounds, Grayson Waller.
39:20Well, the arrogant Aussie returns here to main event, fully reestablishing himself in the singles ranks over the last couple of weeks.
39:25Even as he sits under the learning tree of the new day.
39:29Look, Grayson Waller, I don't like him.
39:31That's well documented, but I respect him.
39:34And here's the thing, we talked about Carmelo Hayes trying to re-find that him, Grayson Waller has never lost who he was.
39:43Grayson Waller now is back into the singles ranks.
39:46He's back on his own, and I believe he's closing in on refining that swag that made him an iron survivor.
39:56We'll certainly see how that goes along here for Big G.
40:01Better put some respect on that.
40:02New Day's gonna be out here yelling at you.
40:04As he's been dubbing himself over the last couple of weeks now.
40:07You get it, right? Why are you calling himself Big G?
40:10Yes. Instead of Big E? Yes. It didn't go over your head? No. You got it?
40:14I understand. I like to respect Big E as much as I could, but nonetheless, Grayson Waller in here with Akira Tozawa.
40:20And Vic, as we saw earlier on main event, how motivated by the efforts of Maxine Dupree this past Monday against Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship?
40:28I think Maxine has helped out Tozawa so much in so many different facets, and you can go back over the last several months.
40:35You can go back over the last year or so with or without Otis, you know, by the side.
40:40And I think seeing Maxine be able to step up to that level of the man this past Monday.
40:45Granted, she came up a little bit short, but she showed a lot of fight, showed a lot of grit, showed a lot of determination.
40:50And that is what, look at Tozawa. This is the side of Tozawa we wouldn't have seen without someone like Maxine.
40:56And people forget just how dangerous Tozawa is going all the way back to the dojos in Japan.
41:01Also talking about a 15-time 24-7 champ.
41:04Well, that's something else we'll be talking about later.
41:06That's Grayson Waller looking to take back over right here.
41:08But Vic, going back to Grayson Waller in the new day, what does Waller ultimately want from Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston?
41:15I would think he would want guidance from two of the all-time greats.
41:20Someone in Kofi Kingston who's a former WWE Champion.
41:23Someone who Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have had many moments, whether it's at Royal Rumble or WrestleMania.
41:28But honestly, I think he's just trying to ride the coattails, so to speak.
41:33Tozawa starting to roll right now. Waller on the outside. Tozawa picking up some steam.
41:38Waller heads for higher ground. Back outside.
41:41Turns Tozawa inside out. The Aussie Icons on top.
41:44Can the Stamina Monster get back into this one on Main Event?
41:47It's too easy.
41:49I had a dream.
41:54WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history.
41:58We shattered every record from attendance to viewership.
42:02So we're running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world.
42:07I had a dream.
42:09I had a vision.
42:10I had to work for this and you didn't.
42:14It's time to double down Las Vegas.
42:18WrestleMania returns in 2026.
42:21Are you ready?
42:23Yeah, you can't stop this.
42:27Yeah, you can't stop this.
42:30Now get me off of this thing.
42:37Back here on Main Event.
42:38Grayson Waller in full control here against Akira Tozawa.
42:41Going back to Grayson Waller and The New Day.
42:44Would Woods and Kingston actually add him to the group?
42:47I don't necessarily know.
42:49I don't wanna give an answer because everything The New Day has done over the
42:52last several months isn't typical, well, what we knew The New Day to be.
42:57They've always bought the power of positivity.
42:59Now they're the exact opposite.
43:01So who really knows?
43:02I guess it depends on however the wind blows on whatever day in whatever city we
43:06are in in the WWE.
43:07Has Waller in control right now.
43:09Of course, he spent 90 days as WWE Tag Team Champion last year alongside Austin Theory.
43:14And now, of course, we see him looking to get maybe a part of The New Day with
43:18Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston.
43:19You almost wonder, is the Aussie icon scared to be alone?
43:22I don't think he is scared to be alone.
43:24I think he likes to take the easy way out, so to speak.
43:29And being able again to ride the coattails, be able to jump on the-
43:33What is he doing?
43:35Putting Tozawa's headband inside his trunks.
43:38Adding insult to injury right there.
43:40Vick, you talk about respect.
43:41Showing nothing right here.
43:42Well, that's what he is.
43:43This is what I said at the start of the matchup.
43:46Very vocal though.
43:51That's why I said at the start of the matchup.
43:53He has never lost who he was.
43:56He has never lost what-
43:58This is who he is.
43:59He's an arrogant individual.
44:01Between Jelly Roll, Bert Kreischer, George Kittle, Jameer Gibbs.
44:04He's been quite the troll as the former tag team champion.
44:06Troll's a good- you know what?
44:07That is a good word to use for him.
44:09Major props for that one.
44:10As Waller in control right now, going through that vertical suplex.
44:13But Tozawa always looking to fight.
44:15Nice counter here.
44:16Inside cradle.
44:17Coming back the other way.
44:18Tozawa!
44:19Only gets two.
44:21That was close.
44:22But right back up comes Tozawa.
44:24And of course, Akira Tozawa here.
44:26Approaching ten years with the WWE.
44:29And Tozawa, looking to build some of them.
44:32And shut down by Grayson Waller.
44:34That could be it.
44:35Tozawa may be out.
44:36Right across the jaw.
44:38Only gets two.
44:39As Tozawa coming alive here north of the border.
44:44And of course, Grayson Waller we talk about.
44:48Potentially looking to join the New Day.
44:49What a potential all-star team that would be right there.
44:53And Vic, of course, we heard from CM Punk earlier.
44:55That blockbuster tag team main event involving the best of the world.
44:59Up next as the Chicago native still looks for revenge on the Oracle.
45:03Paul Haney.
45:04What a matchup that was.
45:05And also, what an explosive ending to Monday Night Raw.
45:09And how about the tribal thief, Big Bronson Reed?
45:12I don't want to talk about it because I enjoy my shoes.
45:14I'm the shoe guy myself as Waller in control right here.
45:17As Tozawa continues to fight back.
45:20Grayson Waller looking to make a statement.
45:22Of course, we've seen him in action in recent weeks.
45:24Against the likes of Penta and Sheamus.
45:25Always being tested as the Aussie icon.
45:27Well, he certainly is.
45:28And that's what- Oh!
45:29Forget about that right now.
45:30Because he's being tested in this matchup.
45:32Big counter, big DDT from Tozawa.
45:35And you can feel the momentum shift.
45:38Shining Wizard up on his feet is Tozawa.
45:41He's moving.
45:42He's going right at home to that top rope.
45:45Waller looking to stand up.
45:48And the missile dropkick.
45:49Down goes the Aussie icon.
45:51Oh, Waller so wise to roll to the outside.
45:53But he may have moved a little too soon.
45:55Here comes Tozawa.
45:56We saw it once.
45:57The second time pays off.
45:59Tope Suicida to the outside.
46:01And Tozawa Mania running wild on main event.
46:04There is the power of Tozawa.
46:08As Tozawa in his 12th match on main event this year.
46:12We know that work ethic sky high.
46:14Look at what Waller's doing right now.
46:15We've seen this in the past.
46:16From NXT to Friday Night SmackDown.
46:18A Monday Night Raw rolls through the flat liner.
46:22But somehow Tozawa hangs on.
46:28Have an argument with the official right there.
46:30I think he's a little bit taken back.
46:32That Tozawa's still had enough Stanima left to kick out.
46:36As Tozawa certainly will not quit.
46:38We've documented that many, many times.
46:39In the outstretched arms here of Grayson Waller.
46:42Waller putting Tozawa up.
46:44And a counter yet again with the Hurricanrana.
46:47No.
46:48Holds it for a pin.
46:49And somehow Waller able to escape.
46:51Waller right back up though.
46:52Charging in.
46:53Tozawa's side step.
46:54Bam.
46:55Big kick connects.
46:56That stick and move like strategy.
46:58Like an enziguri of some sort.
47:00Waller's rocked.
47:01Waller's down.
47:02Right in that drop zone.
47:04Tozawa with the WWE Universe behind him.
47:08He will climb.
47:10And he will look to fly.
47:12And Waller finds that open.
47:14He got a desperation there, Vic.
47:15Took a little bit too much time.
47:17And now Grayson Waller.
47:19And Waller, innovative move right there.
47:22Almost a version of the unprettier.
47:24And Waller walks the walk.
47:29Here is your winner, Grayson Waller.
47:34Well Vic, whether you like him or not, you have to at least give your props to
47:37Grayson Waller for pulling out a win here on Main Event.
47:39I said at the start of this, I don't like him.
47:42I respect him.
47:43Grayson Waller was able to battle through all the adversity in this matchup.
47:46This was as close as Tozawa would get.
47:49Tozawa would try to string together some momentum.
47:51Waller though, presence of mind to really turn this matchup upside down.
47:56And Grayson Waller with the win on Main Event.
48:00It was counter after counter for Tozawa, but Waller found a way.
48:04And Vic, you talk about impressing the new day.
48:07And Big G's just getting started.
48:09The order right there, Big G just getting started.
48:12Certainly a way for Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston to like what they see right here
48:16with a big win for Grayson Waller here on Main Event.
48:19Coming up, the megastar forms a dream team with the best in the world as CM Punk and LA Knight
48:28take on the Visions Brawnbreaker and Big Ronson Reed in tag team action.
48:33Can Punk and Knight coexist to take down Raw's most dominant faction?
48:37Find out next on Main Event.
48:44This October, John Cena lands in Perth for a full-scale WWE takeover.
48:53It all starts with SmackDown, ends with Raw.
48:59And in the center of it all, Cena takes the spotlight for one of WWE's most massive nights.
49:06WWE Crown Jordan Perth.
49:09Three nights, one epic weekend.
49:12All at RAC Arena.
49:15WWE Takeover, Perth, this October.
49:19Combo tickets on sale now.
49:26Welcome back to Main Event.
49:28We're in Quebec City, the birthplace of the model, Rick Martell,
49:32and home of the late great WWE legend Stan Stasiak.
49:35As WWE wraps up its trip to the Great White North.
49:38We head back to Monday Night Raw, where the atmosphere inside the arena was buzzing with a big fight feel.
49:44The Oracle Paul Heyman led the imposing duo of Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed
49:49in the battle against two of Seth Rollins' biggest rivals, Sia Punk and L.A. Knight.
49:54With the shadow of the Visionary looming large, we head to the ring to see if Punk and Knight can put their differences aside and take down the Vision.
50:02Critical moment for Knight, not quite sure where he's at.
50:07Reed trying to make it to his corner.
50:12Tag, tag.
50:15Pumpkin Breaker legal.
50:18Here comes Punk.
50:19Here comes Punk.
50:20Here comes Punk.
50:21Here we go.
50:22Boot in a clothesline.
50:23By the second city saint.
50:26CM Punk, heel kick to the face.
50:28Who, who, who, who, who, who.
50:33Punk having a little fun at the expense of Braun Breaker.
50:40Delivers the suplex to Breaker.
50:42And Puck into the corner with a running high knee.
50:46And another one by Puck.
50:52Short arm clothesline by the Second City Saint.
50:58Puck making his way to the top rope, but Bronson Reed.
51:03LA Knight intercepts him though, look out.
51:06And Knight driving Reed in and on top of our announce table.
51:10Puck now, perched in the top turnbuckle, drawbreaker is down in the middle of the ring.
51:23Elbow connecting.
51:25And Puck looking for the go to sleep.
51:38Well, I guess the private jet never took off.
51:43Seth Rollins, the world champ, is back.
51:46Gonna force the match to be over with a disqualification.
51:49Rollins doesn't care.
51:50He's beating the hell out of Puck.
51:52And what this says to me, Cole, is that Rollins is feeling the heat.
51:55Rollins was concerned about the outcome of this tag team match and felt the need to insert himself.
52:01Well, he's done just that.
52:03And Puck and LA Knight have been beaten down.
52:06And they got some backup.
52:08The main event, Jey Uso's here with an equalizer.
52:20The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
52:27Main event Jey Uso's steel chair in hand.
52:32And now Jey Uso, unwanted on Breaker.
52:39Breaker's down.
52:40And Reed says, bring it, Jey.
52:45You see Rollins standing behind Big Bronson Reed.
52:49Damus Wiley with the chair.
52:51And that was just slotted away by Reed.
52:54D, D, D, D, D.
52:59And Uso to the right.
53:04And Big Bronson Reed took us a chair to the spine.
53:09Not quite the way Rollins and company envisioned this night going.
53:18Three men, one goal.
53:22Seth freaking Rollins.
53:24Seth, Seth, Seth, Seth.
53:27You know, it'd be so easy to come out here and be so angry at you.
53:35Think about this, Seth.
53:36You're a liar.
53:37You're a master manipulator.
53:39You disrupt main events.
53:41And now you and your buddies are out here trying to injure your fellow superstars.
53:46But Seth, I'm not gonna be angry about it.
53:49Instead, I'm gonna see all of this as an opportunity.
53:53An opportunity for me, an opportunity for you.
54:00But Seth, you wanna listen to this part.
54:03An opportunity for the World Heavyweight Championship.
54:07Because it's simple, Seth freaking Rollins.
54:12You just earned a freaking opportunity to defend the freaking World Heavyweight Championship.
54:18And you will at Clash in Paris.
54:21Against main event Jey Uso.
54:25I see what he's doing.
54:32And LA Knight.
54:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
54:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
54:41And CM Punk.
54:43No!
54:44No!
54:45It's a fatal four-way, Paul Heyman.
54:47And it is official.
54:50He can't do that.
54:51Two weeks from Sunday.
54:55That is not gonna happen.
54:56That Clash in Paris.
54:57That is not gonna happen.
54:58A fatal four-way from the World of Titles.
55:01I do not agree with this.
55:03I do not agree with this.
55:04I do not agree with this.
55:05I do not agree with this.
55:06I do not agree with this.
55:07I do not agree with this.
55:08Well, finally, Tempers getting the best of these two.
55:10I guess they didn't like the call by the general manager.
55:13Well, they both got what they wanted, as did main event Jey Uso.
55:17And Jey now trying to separate the two, and a back elbow to Jey by Knight.
55:23And now Punk with Knight on his shoulders.
55:25Man, if things broken down quickly.
55:27And a spear by Breaker.
55:29The vision waited for the opportunity to pounce.
55:32As Seth's challengers were fighting with one another,
55:36the vision struck as a cohesive unit.
55:39LA Knight up to the outside.
55:45And now Breaker taking out Punk.
55:47Jey Uso's been laid to waste.
55:49Rawl is directing traffic.
55:52Seth Rollins was feeling the heat.
55:59His kitchen just went up in flames.
56:01But here comes Braun Breaker.
56:04LA Knight turn around, turn around.
56:05Braun Breaker had a spear tonight.
56:08And big Bronson Reed, that Della Valley driver to Jey Uso.
56:18And this is not good for Jey.
56:20Oh, no.
56:21This happened to Roman last week.
56:23And now, Bronson Reed, tsunami!
56:27Rollins still calling the shots, ordering Breaker to return LA Knight to the ring.
56:36And we unfortunately know exactly what for.
56:40Three carcasses, defenseless, in the ring.
56:45Rollins with a stomp tonight.
56:52The official's coming out here to try and I'm not quite sure what they have to do.
57:00Absolute power and total control.
57:03And now the world champion, Rollins with a stop to Jey Uso.
57:08Sending a message to all three men he'll defend against it.
57:15Clash in Paris two weeks on Sunday.
57:17In my eyes.
57:24What are you seeing?
57:27No way, Paul.
57:32As I breathe, you will never, ever,
57:36hold out on your life.
57:39Let it go.
57:41Let it go.
57:44Rollins with another stop.
57:57Seth Rollins' vision is pretty damn clear.
58:02Absolute power, absolute dominance.
58:07And tonight, absolute destruction.
