00:00Get out of the cold. Go get warm. I got this. I got this.
00:07What the hell are you doing?
00:09I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask.
00:12I wanted everybody to feel my actions before they saw my face.
00:17I got comfortable, but then I saw the vision.
00:20You didn't wait for anything, and that's me now.
00:23I take.
00:24You take.
00:25And I know the vision's got a match tonight, and I'd love to take that opportunity.
00:30And help out.
00:31Really?
00:32Really.
00:34Very interesting.
00:37This is what you did!
00:45Believe that Io Sky turned her back on them.
00:48That Rhea and Io have the champs in their crosshairs.
00:55Winning a mixed tag match over on SmackDown.
01:00The last decade here at WWE.
01:10That is the fact, and Asuka love to change that tonight.
01:13Between these two, obviously Rhea Ripley.
01:16Biggest victory over Asuka was where she won her first world championship.
01:20Oh my goodness, that might have just turned Asuka's lights out.
01:24And Asuka able to turn things around and scoot out of harm's way.
01:27Hard decision.
01:28Oh, and that's still in the back of Asuka's mind.
01:30And Rhea Ripley is unhinged here tonight.
01:32Kyrie may want to think twice before mouthing off to Rhea outside the ring.
01:36Courtesy of Kyrie.
01:38But look out!
01:38Again, the distraction by Kyrie.
01:41And Asuka driving Rhea into the barricade.
01:44They're going to need to rely on each other because the women's tag team champions!
01:49Good night, mommy!
01:51You can bet money that Asuka's going to look to exploit anything.
01:54There was a moment in time where you thought Kyrie Sane, maybe she wasn't going to quite leave with a kick.
01:59Rhea missed with a kick of her own.
02:00And Sane again getting involved.
02:02You saw Asuka by the Empress of Tomorrow.
02:05And again, one of the reasons they're tag champs.
02:07Ducks underneath.
02:08The clothesline now by Rhea.
02:09And Rhea started to build momentum.
02:11Into the canvas.
02:12Now Ripley with a drop kick of her own to Asuka.
02:15Anything resembling fear to Asuka.
02:18You can't be intimidated.
02:20And Ripley, what a kick!
02:22Defend the tag team goal against Rhea Ripley.
02:25And Io Sky.
02:26They're looking for the prism lock.
02:28Yeah, that submission maneuver there.
02:30Great move by Asuka to pick the ankle.
02:32Can she make it there?
02:33No, Asuka turns it in to release German.
02:36And Rhea kicks out at two.
02:38Two great women here in WWE.
02:41History of shoulder injuries.
02:42And Rhea.
02:43Rhea's second rope for Asuka.
02:47Trapped.
02:48Oh, and a kick right to the face.
02:50Down goes Asuka.
02:53And a kick out at two.
02:56Again, these two know each other so well as Rhea gets hung up on the top rope.
03:00And now German suplex position.
03:01Oh, goodbye.
03:03Asuka's going to fly.
03:04But he's got, she got caught.
03:06Here comes Rhea.
03:08Pulls her way off the apron.
03:10Payne.
03:10You have to look out.
03:11Uh-oh, uh-oh.
03:12Kairi Sane.
03:13Kairi.
03:14Io Sky is here.
03:16Is out here to try to even the odds.
03:19And Kairi from behind.
03:20Dropping Io right on her back.
03:22The injured back.
03:24Io.
03:24Checking on her friend.
03:26And from behind.
03:27Asuka.
03:27For the win.
03:28Have the tights as well.
03:30The Kabuki Warriors won't give up the tag team gold easily.
03:35Theory.
03:36Theory.
03:37All due respect.
03:38Who were you 18 months ago?
03:40Who were you fumbling around the rim with back then?
03:42Your main eventing in Australia beating Roman Reigns.
03:46Last thing I remember, you called the shot to take out Seth Rollins.
03:49For the world title against CM Punk, someone had a vision for the two of you.
03:55And that someone was Paul Heyman.
03:56And I don't pimp that out easily.
03:59I have a vision for Austin Theory.
04:01It's Bronson Reed and Austin Theory against Rey Mysterio and CM Punk.
04:07Austin Theory carries out our vision.
04:10Make sure that they carry Austin Theory's ass out of it.
04:14Maxine Dupree.
04:16She'll join us next on Netflix.
04:18The ring general, Gunther, we may find out.
04:22He joins us on Netflix.
04:25Christmas is coming early!
04:27Oh boy.
04:28Becky Vance!
04:30You know, there are conspiracies to hear what the man has to say.
04:35It's a Christmas miracle!
04:36Braces us with her presence instead.
04:38No, no, no, no, no.
04:40No way, Jose.
04:41Absolutely not.
04:43I'm the real intercontinental champion.
04:46I know some very powerful people that will.
04:49And you stop!
04:50And you stop!
04:51You hear that, Maxine?
04:52They're talking to you.
04:53The greatest female wrestler of all time.
04:55And it's not just me.
04:57Everybody says it's Sports Illustrated.
04:59This was supposed to be the intercontinental champion Maxine Dupree's time.
05:05Listen, listen, I will admit, this rookie beat the greatest of all time!
05:17If I'm not mistaken, yeah, that's right, Becky, I beat you three times.
05:23I will train until my blood, sweat, and tears are on this Max!
05:27I am your intercontinental champion!
05:32Someone who's afraid her best years are behind her.
05:36Oh!
05:37Becky Lynch, who's now patting away on the champion.
05:40She's paying for it.
05:41Maxine certainly crossed the line.
05:43Maxine looking for an ankle lock on Becky!
05:46And Becky Lynch trying to scramble away!
05:48Ankle lock in!
05:49Uh-oh, we know Maxine's been putting in the work to Becky and the world, but this is no fluke!
05:55Her continental championship back, it appears that Hall of Famer Nikki Bella...
05:59Just a little bit, just a little bit, it is a big night.
06:02Let's sit down and talk about your future.
06:03Say less!
06:04Oh, yeah?
06:04I got you.
06:05Have a good night.
06:05Appreciate you.
06:06Good luck, I know you don't need it.
06:07Yes, sir!
06:08Ah, Stephanie, I appreciate you coming here.
06:10Listen, how can we resolve this issue between you, Nikki Bella, and Raquel Rodriguez?
06:15Nothing to resolve.
06:16What do you mean?
06:17Give me damn.
06:18Quiero una lucha triple.
06:19A triple threat.
06:21Well, I gotta say I love a fighting champion.
06:23Defend that Women's World Championship against Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez on Monday Night
06:28Roll.
06:33Rayo Americano!
06:36Defend against perhaps the greatest tag team of all time.
06:40Rayo here is making history.
06:42This is his first career.
06:43This is his first career.
06:47Come on!
06:48Evan!
06:49In the game, in my opinion, and the opinion of many.
06:5321 years old, and what a performance.
06:55Back at Saturday night's main event.
06:56Opportunity to begin tonight.
06:58His side.
06:59We can't confirm that regarding Rayo.
07:01I've heard.
07:01Bravo.
07:02Oh, and there's a big drop kick by who sent across the ring.
07:05Oh!
07:05And Rao taking Evans down.
07:07And you've got the world talking about you.
07:09Ooh!
07:10You become a target.
07:11Case in point tonight.
07:12Oh!
07:12Rayo Americano.
07:13Identity.
07:14You never know.
07:15Oh!
07:15You never know what they're a fan of the European style of wrestling for quite some time.
07:20Speaks for itself.
07:20Well, I mean, what legacy?
07:22It's his first match on Raw.
07:23Oh, look at that.
07:24Nobody home is Javon Evans.
07:26And now Javon Evans going to fly!
07:29Oh, and a deep arm drag by...
07:32Correct.
07:32It depends on the...
07:34So I guess if the...
07:35Perhaps, unless you want to be disrespectful, you're going to get kicked out of your own house.
07:39Ring aggressive.
07:40Again, how do you know that?
07:41Listen.
07:42Wait a minute.
07:43So you're telling me Ryle's like...
07:44I don't try to overstep my bounds.
07:46I'm a guest in their world.
07:47Javon never afraid to just play at his feet and throw hands.
07:51My God!
07:52On NXT a few weeks ago.
07:54May have won the NXT champion.
07:56Javon Evans and his high-flying ability, but he's showing you here.
08:00Gonna get bouncy!
08:01And springboard!
08:04Rayo kicks out.
08:05Look at...
08:05Look at on the other side.
08:06Bravo!
08:07Oh!
08:08With a double team!
08:09A foul, Michael Cole.
08:10That's not a magic...
08:11Oh, goodness!
08:12And Evans somehow kicks out!
08:14He's bursting on the scene in NXT.
08:18Open and slap to Evans, who answers with a super kick.
08:21Rayo, Americano!
08:23Wow!
08:24Evans down top of him.
08:26Oh, gee!
08:27Connor!
08:27Two, three...
08:29An impressive win for Evans.
08:31I don't believe the Americanos are done yet.
08:34Javon Evans is a free agent.
08:37Which brand does he sign on?
08:39Next week, you have a massive title defense against the Usos.
08:42How do you think you'll fare?
08:43We beat Judgment Day, and they were considered the best.
08:45World Raiders.
08:47New Day.
08:47Yep.
08:48Also considered the best.
08:49That's right.
08:49Te prometo que esa lucha será un clásico.
08:52It will be a classic.
08:53Bring fire!
08:54We're better than the best, and that's exactly what they're going to get next week.
08:59Well, thanks so much, guys.
09:00Good luck next week.
09:01The most famous person just walked into the building.
09:05It seems like everyone has forgotten who I am.
09:11Nikki Bella, okay?
09:13I am a legend, and this is what champions look like.
09:18Do you got that?
09:19How would you people know what champions look like?
09:22I mean, you root for the Lions.
09:24I wish they were as good as the Philadelphia Eagles, am I right?
09:27You are all looking at the star.
09:30Last week, I destroyed Raquel Rodriguez's face.
09:34I will destroy Stephanie Backhair's reign.
09:38But I am a big deal everywhere, you got that?
09:41The legend, the one and only, and don't forget it, Nikki Bella.
09:48Bayley!
09:58Bayley, Roxanne Perez, next on Netflix.
10:02Bayley was extremely disappointed with the outcome at Saturday night's main event.
10:10Roxanne Perez!
10:12Liv finally returned to WWE after her injury,
10:16but talk about how there's a wedge in the judgment day,
10:18that they're not a cohesive unit goal, Ruka.
10:20And Bayley was defeated by Ruka,
10:22and she says a couple of weeks ago,
10:24knocked off Lyra, Roxanne Perez.
10:26For so long, and now...
10:27Oh, Bayley to Bayley!
10:28From out of nowhere!
10:29Hook in the leg!
10:30Roxanne just barely kicks out!
10:33Go!
10:34Relax!
10:36Momentum of Perez.
10:37A couple of elbows to Bayley.
10:38Oh!
10:39Oh, taking her out of the back of the knee.
10:41Liv, yeah, I...
10:42We missed you, Liv.
10:43We missed you really bad.
10:44I just got all tongue-tied.
10:45When Liv walked over here.
10:48History of knee injuries.
10:49Roxanne knows that extremely well.
10:51And Lyra realizing that Bayley's in trouble.
10:53Bayley now gonna bounce Roxanne.
10:55Deep, deep trouble here!
10:56Uh-oh!
10:57Come on, Roxanne!
10:59Oh, no, again!
11:01Get inside the ring!
11:02Focusing on the injured left knee of Bayley.
11:06I'm selfish again.
11:07Once upon a time, Bayley...
11:09And a kick out by Bayley.
11:10Obviously, much publicized issues when it comes to Bayley over the...
11:14That would be another nail in the coffin.
11:16Nice takedown by Bayley.
11:17Wow!
11:18For Bayley, though, with a knee.
11:20Oh, and a fez press!
11:22And a right hand now by Bayley!
11:25Oh, wait a minute.
11:26Floating around out there.
11:28Oh, goodness!
11:30Oh, wow!
11:31Kick!
11:31From behind!
11:32Look out!
11:33Right over the announce table into the floor!
11:35It's Perez!
11:36And Perez now kicked right to the spine!
11:38Bayley doing her best to fight out of the...
11:40Bayley up over the top!
11:42Oh!
11:42Sends Roxanne into the corner!
11:44Hooks the leg!
11:46Roxanne kicks at it, too!
11:47The match continues.
11:49Bayley...
11:49Oh, no!
11:50Yeah, Morgan again!
11:53Dealing with Roxanne.
11:54And now Roxanne Perez taking off the protective covering.
11:57And Bayley...
11:57Oh, God!
11:58...sends face first!
11:59Here's the cover!
12:00Meanwhile, Raquel on the other side!
12:02Getting into it with Liv Morgan!
12:04Lyra taking out Liv!
12:06And Bayley now!
12:08Bayley in the back suplex!
12:10Where's the grasshopper champion?
12:12Whoa!
12:13What the...
12:14Oh, my God!
12:15Switched on!
12:17It's like Lyra unlocked whatever the hell's happening in Bayley's head!
12:21Double knees by Bayley!
12:23Delivers the elbow to Roxanne Perez!
12:26The cover!
12:27Bayley with the win!
12:30And maybe has Lyra Valkyria.
12:34Will that happen in two weeks as Maxine defends the Intercontinental title against Lynch?
12:40CM Punk defends his gold against Braun Praker!
12:45You're rolling with the vision now.
12:46This is the big leagues when we get out there.
12:50Just follow my lead.
12:52First of all, I'm not your kid.
12:54I'll start the match.
12:56And you can follow my lead.
12:59Liv had everything handled until Raquel decided to come out.
13:02What was that?
13:03Hey, I was just trying to help.
13:04You guys should have done last week when Nikki interrupted my match.
13:07That's what we're all trying to do.
13:08We're all just trying to help each other because that's what family do.
13:11It's Christmas, guys.
13:12We all just got to get back on the same page.
13:13First, we need to know what everybody is doing.
13:15You're right.
13:16And I don't need this.
13:17I have a championship match that I need to prepare for.
13:19Good luck.
13:20Good luck.
13:34Yeah!
13:50Who's up? Who's up? Who's up?
14:04Who's up? Who's up? Who's up? Who's up?
14:13You should be mad that tapped out like a little.
14:17Oh!
14:30Tio! Tio! Tio!
14:34Tio!
14:37You're good.
14:41Tio!
14:48Tio!
14:50Hunter's not making any friends and I don't think he gives a damn.
14:54The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
14:57Austin Theory, our main event is next on Netflix.
15:08You just don't know when to shut up, do you?
15:10Ha ha ha ha!
15:20Before, you would see my face.
15:22He admitted to making bad decisions that they take it when they wanted.
15:26WrestleMania, yet somehow he failed to break through to the next level.
15:30Might be witnessing the best burn job in the best part.
15:33And I'll start the match tonight, so you follow.
15:35Well, in the past.
15:36Oh!
15:37Was that the missing ingredient?
15:38Theory's tag.
15:39The success being enjoyed by Big Brunson Reed.
15:41By Brunson.
15:42Tutelage of the Oracle, Paul Heyman.
15:45Theory with the cross the ring and a nice high elbow to Punk.
15:48Theory to this group of Reed.
15:49Breaker.
15:50The aforementioned Oracle.
15:51I think the vision.
15:52Oh!
15:53Cheap shot by Theory to Punk.
15:54Rolls through now.
15:55Boom!
15:56Nice drop kick by Theory.
15:57The 330 pound Auszilla.
16:00As Paul Heyman continue to do it.
16:02For all three of the brightest young stars today.
16:05And Reed, Breaker, and of course a...
16:07Is a game changer.
16:08He is a career maker.
16:09To knock off the best in the world for the World Heavyweight Championship.
16:13So, the facts are...
16:14Oh!
16:15Paul Heyman is here.
16:16Sample size.
16:17I think Austin Theory might be a missing piece.
16:19Oh my God!
16:21Tried to.
16:22To protect himself.
16:23What does it say?
16:24Oh!
16:25What a centon!
16:26To actually team up with this.
16:27If Theory screws up the entire...
16:29Oh!
16:30Just a...
16:31Oh!
16:32Oh!
16:33Oh!
16:34Oh!
16:35In the back turns his back on him back at WrestleMania.
16:37Weaking talent.
16:38Oh!
16:39Went for the centon again.
16:40The Punk.
16:41Tag off Theory and the WWE and Triple-A Hall of Famer.
16:45They have met his match but...
16:47Oh!
16:48Out of harm's way there.
16:49Now, Rey!
16:50My list of things that will remain is absolutely timeless.
16:53He looks better than ever.
16:54And now...
16:55Oh!
16:56Oh!
16:57Oh!
16:58Oh!
16:59Oh!
17:00Oh!

18:16Kick out.
18:17And now Mysterio.
18:18Uh-oh.
18:19Sends Reed into position.
18:22Didn't see it.
18:23You're right.
18:23Now he does.
18:24Oh, my God.
18:25What a collision.
18:26Mysterio.
18:27Oh, no.
18:28Rey Mysterio with a 6-1-9.
18:30The dime.
18:32Bronson Reed pulling Mysterio off the cover.
18:35Here comes CM Punk driving Bronson Reed.
18:39Both men in the timekeeper's area.
18:42Stops Theory for the moment.
18:43Another right hand connects.

18:46Austin Theory.
18:48Again, great.
18:50Oh.
18:51Oh.

18:58But did Austin Theory.
19:00A lookout.
19:01And brought Breaker now.
19:03Two weeks for the world title.
19:04And now Austin Theory runs into a right hand.
19:07CM Punk on fire right now.
19:09Spare.
19:10Hits that.
