00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00I can't lose.
01:02I'm in the rain, I can hear you.
01:07History is officially made tonight in Indianapolis for Wrestlepalooza on ESPN.
01:13Welcome to the main event.
01:14Say it out loud, we faxing on.
01:16Passionate on, we plan it on.
01:18Streets of rage is where we're from.
01:21Long live days, start counting on.
01:22Your time is over, it's the faxing on.
01:27We don't break.
01:28The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:33Introducing first, with a combined weight of 365 pounds, Fraxium!
01:43We're getting the action started here.
01:44Fraxium recently embarked in one of the matches of the year here on the main event.
01:47And now, look to pick up a dud to start Wrestlepalooza Saturday.
01:51As we welcome you in here, Blake Howard alongside the voice of NXT.
01:54And last week, voice of Friday Night SmackDown, Vic Joseph.
01:57Oh, stop.
01:58Oh, stop.
01:59But, yes, it's a huge week.
02:01It's a huge time for all of us in the WWE.
02:04A new era starts now.
02:20And their opponents, representing Legado del Fantasma,
02:25with a combined weight of 425 pounds,
02:29Angel and Berto, Los Garza!
02:36One of the finest tag teams on Friday nights,
02:39as well as Lucha Libre as a whole,
02:41Angel and Berto looking to rebound after a Worlds Collide.
02:44Look, they can't be very happy right now.
02:46Everything that's gone on in AAA, what's going on in SmackDown,
02:49they need a victory to get themselves back into the championship picture.
02:52And a victory tonight over a team like Fraxium
02:55could very well do that for this duo.
02:57And, Vic, you talked about all the excitement, history being made here.
03:02How excited are these four, the entire locker room for that matter,
03:05for tonight's groundbreaking Wrestlepalooza Premium Live event tonight in India?
03:09You talk about everything going on tonight.
03:10That's why I said it's a new era, streaming live on ESPN for the very first time,
03:15of course, internationally, all over the world, on Netflix.
03:18But tonight is when it all begins.
03:21Wrestlepalooza.
03:21You're talking Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre.
03:24You're talking Brock Lesnar, John Cena for the last time ever.
03:27Brock Lesnar has said he wants to cut this retirement tour short.
03:31Will he be successful in Indianapolis?
03:34Plus a huge mixed tag team match.
03:35Major action going down tonight, but right here,
03:38huge tag team action to kickstart the weekend.
03:40Vic, we're talking about AAA, that Lucha Libre environment.
03:43How would Fraxium fare in that environment?
03:45Are you kidding me?
03:46They are born to that environment.
03:48I mean, these two really can take any style and adapt to it.
03:51And you're talking about also in Los Garza.
03:54I mean, all four of these men, all four of these superstars are so capable of doing anything they want at any moment inside the squirt circle.
04:03And we're seeing just a piece of that right now.
04:06Axia maintaining control right now.
04:07Nathan Fraser has stated in the past, tag being made right here, that Fraxium should already be tag team champions.
04:13Vic, have they earned that potential accolade?
04:15Well, look, you can think about a lot of things.
04:17I'm sure if you talk to anybody in the locker room, you talk to people in the Raw locker room, the SmackDown locker room, the NXT locker room,
04:22they're going to tell you, oh, we should be champion.
04:25As Frazer connects there from Angel.
04:29Cover.
04:30And only a two-count Angel, of course, a former Cruiserweight champion in his own right.
04:35But now, Vic, taking a look at Los Garza's, where their focus at as it relates to tag team gold.
04:39I think they're focused on trying to get back some tag team gold, right?
04:42And whether that's on SmackDown, whether that's coming to NXT, or whether that's regaining the tag team championships in AAA.
04:51These are two men that really re-found themselves in NXT when they started talking about heritage.
04:58They started talking about family.
04:59They started talking about tradition.
05:01But two other men that found themselves in NXT, that being Fraxium.
05:05And there's the tag made to Axiom.
05:07And look at the classic double teams right here, Vic.
05:09Lightning speed.
05:10Move like a blur, strike like a cobra.
05:13And Axiom, big connection there on Berto.
05:16Look at this combination offense.
05:18And Fraxium running wild right here.
05:20As Axiom looking to dial it up.
05:23Tope Suicida to the outside.
05:25And Frazer gonna match his tag team partner in the other direction.
05:32But he's flying all over the place here on main event.
05:41And Vic, we take a look here.
05:43We can see how deep that tag team division is on Friday nights.
05:46Well, right now going into a cover.
05:47Axiom hooks the outside leg only two.
05:49It's deep.
05:50And you take really look at the rosters across all three brands.
05:55It's deep, right?
05:56Anyone on any given night could defeat the other.
06:00And I mean, I wouldn't even call this an upset.
06:02No matter which way.
06:03These are two evenly matched teams.
06:06And in the moment now, it's Los Garzas taking the full advantage.
06:10Oh, and that family chemistry working here.
06:14The double team, the cover by Berto only gets two.
06:17Vic, of course, you mentioned that legacy, that family heritage.
06:20How proud did they make their ancestors winning that AAA tag team title?
06:23I think it's proud I said probably to this point in their career that they've made their family, that they've made their heritage.
06:31And right now, I mean, maybe they wouldn't be very happy right at this juncture, ripping at the mask of Axiom.
06:36Not showing much respect there to the mask man from Madrid.
06:39But I think they did made everybody very happy.
06:42Everyone very proud.
06:44And I think that internal happiness that they got, they want to have that again.
06:48I mean, everybody, as you've already brought up, wants to be a champion in the WWE.
06:53AAA, TNA.
06:55They want gold around their waist.
06:57And as my broadcast partner on Tuesday would say, Booker T, by any means necessary.
07:03And you saw it right there by Angel.
07:06Now dialing up.
07:08Axiom with a big strike.
07:10Hooks that outside leg.
07:11Could this do it?
07:12And another near fall right here as Angel continues to go back on the attack.
07:16Vic, you talk about dialed in, all fired up.
07:18Up next, John Cena returned to Monday Night Raw.
07:21And he's laser focused on the beast tonight in India.
07:23It's not only did he return to Monday Night Raw, he returned.
07:25Oh, going for the mask again.
07:27Two, three.
07:28As Angel here, again showing no respect to Axiom.
07:34Oh, and Berto takes full advantage with the referee's back turn.
07:38As you're talking about John Cena, not only was he back on Monday Night Raw,
07:42he was back home where he went to college, where he really.
07:46There's no one there.
07:47You want to take your partner?
07:48Not much respect being shown here.
07:50Well, there'll be a lot of hustle, loyalty, and respect being shown later on tonight here on Main Event.
07:55And the big question is, can John Cena take down the beast himself tonight in their final meeting?
08:00And I'm not going to make any predictions about that.
08:03Take a look at the history of those men over the last two decades.
08:06Back and forth, a win-loss record.
08:08Let's talk about what's going on right now.
08:10Because Axiom is starting to fight back into this tag team matchup.
08:13Back and forth here with Angel, who we saw in singles action last week against Ray Phoenix.
08:17I haven't seen Nathan Frazier.
08:18Frazier got wiped out.
08:20Axiom's going at this alone.
08:21It's essentially been two on one for the last couple of minutes.
08:24There's a big super kick.
08:26Angel is down.
08:27Now can the masked man from Madrid find his tag team partner?
08:30You see Frazier looking back up to the corner.
08:33And he's in position, Vic.
08:36Frazier ready.
08:37Two-time NXT Tag Team Champions covering 356 days.
08:42And here's the tag to Nathan Frazier.
08:44And Vic, we know no one's faster than Frazier.
08:50As look at him go right here.
08:52Bam!
08:53Incredible speed here by Nathan Frazier.
08:56Slingblade takes down Berto.
08:59Now puts himself in high-risk position.
09:01He's right at home.
09:03Big splash.
09:04Into the cover.
09:05Hooks the outside leg.
09:07And Angel breaks it up.
09:09Double stop.
09:10Not necessarily to the spine, but almost to the ribs.
09:13Catching Frazier perfectly.
09:14But wait a minute.
09:15Axiom.
09:16Axiom on the springboard.
09:17And he gets popped.
09:18This one, of course, a rematch from a couple of months back here on Main Event.
09:22These two teams dialed in right now.
09:23Starting a huge weekend.
09:26And Berto with a big connection.
09:29Both teams going back and forth right here, Vic.
09:33Berto looking to end things.
09:35But I think a tag was made.
09:36And Frazier catches him right there.
09:39There's the tag to Axiom.
09:40And the double team sweep the leg.
09:43Little high-low.
09:44Frazier wipes out Angel.
09:47Axiom.
09:48Into the cover.
09:48Frazier on the same page in sync.
09:51And a big victory.
09:54Here are your winners.
09:57Fraxium!
10:00Vic, this one was back and forth.
10:02We talked about the need for a huge win on both sides.
10:05And Fraxium able to prevail right here.
10:08A lot of back and forth action in this one.
10:11This team could be on the cusp of glory on SmackDown.
10:14A little high-low combination offense.
10:16Frazier hit the gas.
10:17Saw his target acquired it.
10:19Bam!
10:19Wiped it out.
10:20Got back into the ring.
10:21And Axiom picked up the scratch for a big victory for Fraxium as they continue their march to championship glory and gold on SmackDown.
10:31Setting the pace right here with a huge victory.
10:34A big weekend ahead.
10:35And Fraxium gets the job done.
10:37Still to come here on Main Event, the LWO High Flyer, Cruz Del Toro, steps into the ring for singles competition as he goes one-on-one with the dominant force of Rusev.
10:49But before the action continues, we turn over to last Monday as tensions continue to rise between two of Raw's top superstars, Jey Uso and L.A. Knight.
10:59I need to remind you, Russell Palooza is this weekend.
11:01And it has become one of the biggest events of our calendar year, which means I cannot have this week going off the rails because of you two.
11:07So tell me, please, how are we gonna keep the peace tonight?
11:09I tell you what, good for you having your Wrestle Palooza match.
11:13I don't really care about that.
11:14What I care about, same thing I cared about last week was I want a piece of Braun, I want a piece of Bronson.
11:19If you can give me that, then I can let this be for just a moment.
11:22Braun and Bronson?
11:23Yeah, fine, but you're not doing it by yourself.
11:25Who's your partner?
11:26You're gonna leave it up to me.
11:27Unless you want me to pick.
11:31I got just the person.
11:34Jimmy Uso.
11:35Nah, nah, that's my brother, Uso.
11:39But yeah, yeah, yeah, whether he is your brother, if you want peace, we'll make that happen tonight.
11:45Yeah.
11:48Look, look, we got the Bronsons against the Wrestle Palooza, Uso.
11:53No one matters.
11:55Just family.
11:56Me and you.
11:57Point, plank, period, Uso.
12:00End of sentence.
12:03Listen, I did tell them, Uso.
12:05I told them we can't team up, but it's all good.
12:09But I ain't gonna be taking no more orders from you.
12:11Hey.
12:13Look.
12:13Since you over here tossing orders around like I'm one of your kids.
12:16Look, I didn't mean it like that.
12:18Well, then change your tone, Uso.
12:20Because the last time I checked, there ain't no Ula following around your neck.
12:23Hey, yo, you still looking for a partner?
12:35I mean, I don't want to put you in a bad position.
12:38Well, tonight, I'm in.
12:44Yeah.
12:46Despite the wishes of Jey Uso, the match has been made official.
12:49It will be the dangerous duo of Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed of The Vision
12:53going up against L.A. Knight and his chosen ally, Jimmy Uso.
12:58Will the assistance of Big Jim be enough for L.A. Knight to pick up the win against The Vision?
13:02We will find out tonight.
13:04But now we turn back to last Friday.
13:06As the beast Brock Lesnar made his way to SmackDown on the hunt for his Wrestle Palooza opponent, John Cena.
13:17Y'all know what time it is!
13:19We can probably be cranking up!
13:22Let's crank it up!
13:23Now, here we go!
13:24You feeling it here, what's up?
13:26You feel me?
13:27Let me hear you say, what's up?
13:29What's up?
13:30What's up?
13:32What's up?
13:33What's up?
13:34Now, you can get with this, or you can get with that.
13:37You better get with this, because this is where it's at.
13:40What's up?
13:41What's up?
13:42What's up?
13:44What's up?
13:45The audience who will be jumping, leaving the competition.
13:47Make them disappear like your favorite magician.
13:51And I ride until the wheel fall off.
13:53I bounce back to back, until the next gets soft.
13:56For two times you see me, I'm just being simple.
13:59Different times, I'll be busting up like a pimple.
14:01State my claim to fame, to be the most must-see OG fan in the game.
14:07Haven't even started yet.
14:08You can better believe, I take it off with your child, Ben.
14:11What's up?
14:12What's up?
14:12What's up?
14:13What's up?
14:13What's up?

14:28What's up?
14:29What's up?
14:30What's up?
14:30What's up?
14:41I'm gonna tell you what's up.
14:43Man, shut up.
14:44You know what?
14:52I'm gonna go a different route.
14:55I'm gonna be the first WWE superstar in this WWE ring,
15:02in front of this WWE Universe, live on TV, to say,
15:08Brock, welcome back.
15:16Now, with that being said, I used to be scared of you, Brock.
15:26I ain't scared of you no more, Brock.
15:28Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:29I don't even know who you are.
15:31And
15:36you better have a damn good reason for coming out here and interrupting me.
15:41You've been disrespecting John Cena, my childhood hero, my older brother.
15:48For the past 25 years.
15:52How old are you?
15:57And what is your name?
16:00R-True.
16:02R-True, R-True, R-True, R-True.
16:19I'm done with the disrespect.
16:21Timeout.
16:23I'm here for one thing tonight.
16:27I'm looking for John Cena.
16:29Do you know where John Cena is tonight?
16:32No, I don't.
16:38Then why are you in my ring right now?
16:44Because I'm here to defend my older brother,
16:50my childhood hero, John Cena.
16:53So John Cena's your brother.
17:00My older brother.
17:05And your name is R-Truth.
17:09My name is Ron Cena.
17:12So you don't know where John is?
17:25John Cena, John Cena, John Cena, John Cena, John Cena, John Cena.
17:35So you don't know where John is?
17:39No, I don't.
17:46And so why are you here right now?
17:50I'm here to stop the disrespect, Brock.
17:53You see, John Cena is built different now, dawg.
17:58He went crazy this year.
18:00You ain't see him.
18:01Bro, he made a little kid cry.
18:06So I'm telling you now, Super Cena is coming for you, dawg.
18:11And he is fueled.
18:13He's fueled with horse hustle, loyalty, respect, and two drops of that kid's tears.
18:23So he won't be running from the beef.
18:28He will be feeding on him.
18:31And you're his brother.
18:37I'm his younger brother.
18:39From another mother.
18:41No, we got the same daddy.
18:44And you're R-Truth.
18:48R, I'm Ron Cena.
18:50I'm Ron Cena.
18:51Yes.
18:52Okay.
18:53Do you know that you're missing a tooth?
18:55I'm missing a...
18:58Whoa!
18:59Here we go!
19:12The greatest of all time makes his return to Monday Night Raw as John Cena's farewell tour stops through Springfield, Massachusetts.
19:18The home of his alma mater.
19:20What will Cena have to say just days before he takes on Brock Lesnar at Wrestle Palooza?
19:24We'll find out when we return on Main Event.
19:27Tonight, two global icons, one epic stage, the greatest of all time, John Cena, goes head-to-head with the most dominant athlete in sports entertainment, Brock Lesnar.
19:50The world will be watching Wrestle Palooza.
20:02As the road to Wrestle Palooza nears its end, WWE has made its stop in Springfield, Massachusetts.
20:08Home of the collegiate proving grounds of the 17-time world champion, John Cena.
20:13And with Cena's farewell tour also winding down and the beast standing before him at Wrestle Palooza.
20:18Let's hear what the GOAT has to say to the WWE Universe.
20:22Have you seen us?
20:25That right there is why I say yes.
20:30Because I am the last real champion.
20:39And in all my days here, I have never fought one battle back then.
20:47I fight them all here in front of the most important audience in the world.
20:52Everybody in this building tonight.
20:56To me, the last real champion is not about wearing a belt.
21:05It is not about being in the Main Event.
21:07It's not about being the face of a company.
21:09The last real champion leaves this place better than they found it.
21:13The last real champion never takes their ball and goes home.
21:16And the last real champion every single day, to the best of their ability,
21:20operates with hustle, loyalty, and respect.
21:23And whether you first, last, in the middle, or in the crowd,
21:26you understand that this is a chance to make magic so you give all that you have.
21:33Am I afraid of Brock Lesnar?
21:39No.
21:43Yes, I am.
21:44Could I fail?
21:48No.
21:50Yes, I could.
21:52Will I back down?
21:55Will I give up?
21:57Hell no!
22:02We will take the fight to the beast because that is what we do.
22:08Listen to the energy Brock this Saturday at Wrestle Palooza in a history making event broadcast for the first time on ESPN.
22:20The beast squares off against the last real champion.
22:30It is a final showdown of two generational titans.
22:35Brock, I don't give a damn how many suplexes are in your city.
22:41I founded Suplex City and taking your best shot for over 20 years and I'm still standing.
22:46Just like that guy's sign says, my shorts are stronger than your jeans.
22:53It's Saturday.
22:54I'm ready for war, baby!
22:56You want some?
22:58Come get some!
23:05In Indianapolis, Indiana, longtime rivals and sports entertainment icons, John Cena and Brock Lesnar,
23:11will go to war one final time.
23:14As the beast looks to cut the never seen 17's farewell tour short.
23:18Can Cena overcome the odds one last time as he takes on one of his most dangerous foes?
23:23You will find out at Wrestle Palooza streaming live on ESPN.
23:27But we now head over to SmackDown.
23:29As bitter enemies Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre battled out in a grudge match that would leave the WWE Universe buzzing.
23:36Randy beside himself.
23:50But right now, he's got Drew lined up.
23:52Oh, it didn't connect on the punt!
23:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
23:57The Claymore!
23:59Got all of it!
24:01And Drew out of nowhere with the Claymore and McIntyre did what needed to be done.
24:10Here is your winner, Drew McIntyre!
24:15With absolutely no hesitation.
24:17It ain't over.
24:18And he isn't done.
24:19It ain't over.
24:20The party's not over.
24:27Come on!
24:28You're gonna, he's lining him up just like he did to Cody!
24:32Just like he did to Cody Rhodes!
24:34And he's here!
24:38Hold a minute.
24:39Hold the phone!
24:40He's back!
24:41Hold the phone!
24:42The American Nightmare!
24:43Coming to get inside some of Drew McIntyre!
24:52The champion is back!
24:53Yes, indeed he's back!
24:55Throwing paymakers, baby!
24:58Cody!
25:00Bam!
25:01Give him!
25:02Give him a little!
25:03Give him a little!
25:04Give him a little!
25:05Give him a little!
25:22Drew McIntyre!
25:25The champ is back!
25:28We can do this dance!
25:37I'll see you, my friend, at Wrestle Palooza!
25:42After the undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was put on the shelf with a brutal claymore courtesy of Drew McIntyre,
25:55the American Nightmare is back with a vengeance.
25:58After saving his friend Randy Orton from suffering a similar fate, the champ is determined to get his pound of flesh when he goes one-on-one for the gold at Wrestle Palooza.
26:07The best in the world, CM Punk and his wife, AJ Lee, have brought the fight to Becky Lynch and Seth freakin' Rollins.
26:17And coming up next, the top power couples of Monday Night Raw are set to go face-to-face on Main Event!
26:23oooooh
26:36You walked into my life just like a dream.
26:45Feel your heart like a dream.
27:00WWE is headed to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers, for
27:04the first ever Wrestlepalooza.
27:06With a new PLE ushering in an exciting new era on ESPN,
27:11you're not going to want to miss all of the action,
27:13including the crowning of a brand new Women's World Champion.
27:18Over on Raw last Monday, en route to her match against EOSky
27:21for the now vacant Women's World Championship,
27:24Stephanie Becker found herself facing off with one half of the Kabuki Warriors,
27:28Kairi Sane, as tensions continue to rise in the Raw Women's Division.
27:33They want it! They're gonna get it!
27:36Devil's Kiss coming your way, Springfield!
27:40That's the core, behave yourself!
27:41The Devil's Kiss takes out Kairi Sane,
27:54and Stephanie Becker letting the world know she is ready to be the Women's World Champion.
28:00And she is ready to put this away!
28:03Oh!
28:05S-V-B-Stephanie!
28:09Here is your winner, Stephanie Becker!
28:17That was a great showing, a great showing.
28:23Oh, Oscar.
28:25May accept the challenge, saying, yeah, you stand right here.
28:30Oh, but you know who else is here?
28:35The genius of the sky!
28:39The former Women's World Champion!
28:42That was a good farm!
28:42More!
28:45Power!
28:46No scientilis!
28:48More!
28:49Let's do it!
28:51Yes!
28:52We've got the importantorer!
28:54Cardenalological Arsenal!
28:55aroma!
28:58Don't do it!
29:05Ah!
29:06And Eoskai able to calm down Asuka.
29:28With the vacant Women's World Championship on the line,
29:31and both women being owed their separate title opportunities,
29:34all roads have led to Wrestlepalooza.
29:37After two classic matches being spoiled by outside interference,
29:40the score must be settled once and for all
29:43as La Primera battles the genius of the sky.
29:47And that's not all, as Wrestlepalooza will also showcase
29:50the in-ring return of AJ Lee
29:53as she joins forces with her husband CM Punk
29:55as they go to war with the Visions power couple
29:58of Seth Brinkin-Rollins and Becky Lynch.
30:01And last Monday, these two teams met face-to-face
30:04one last time before their highly anticipated bout at Wrestlepalooza.
30:14You know, I never put my hands on a lady.
30:19Thankfully, I have someone who will.
30:24This is definitely your fault.
30:42Are you blaming me?
30:47Are you blaming me?
30:48Are you blaming me?
30:49Are you blaming me?
30:50This is not my fault.
30:51This is your fault.
30:52This is your fault.
30:53This is- Hey, hey, hey.
30:55Hey!
30:56Hey!
30:57Hey, where are you going?
30:59Where are you going?
31:01What are you going to do?
31:02I'm blaming you.
31:03This is your fault.
31:04You're blaming me.
31:05You're blaming me.
31:06You're blaming me.
31:07This wasn't my fault.
31:08You got us into this.
31:10This is twice.
31:11You're blaming me.
31:12You're blaming me.
31:13You're blaming me.
31:14You're blaming me.
31:15Come on.
31:16What are you gonna do now?
31:30What?
31:31Oh.
31:32Oh.
31:33You make me.
31:34Yes.
31:35No.
31:36No.
31:37No.
31:38No.
31:39No.
31:40No.
31:42In a mixed tag team match for the ages.
31:55The World Heavyweight Champion and Women's Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and
31:59Becky Lynch will face off with their rivals CM Punk and AJ Lee.
32:04After a ten year hiatus, can one of WWE's most iconic superstars help turn the tide as
32:10Bunk continues his war against Rollins' vision.
32:12We will find out at Wrestle Palooza streaming live on ESPN.
32:18Coming up, Cruz Del Toro faces off with the Bulgarian Brute as the LWO's Lucha Libre offense
32:24meets the vicious power of Rusev.
32:27It all goes down next, right here on Main Event.
32:34This November, the Padres' home field gets a whole new lineup.
32:39When WWE-
32:40An absolutely incredible scene.
32:43It's Petco Park.
32:46A slugfest for the ages.
32:49My goodness.
32:51The epic performance that no one will ever forget.
32:57WWE Survivor Series San Diego.
33:00Tickets on sale now.
33:02Welcome to the entertainment capital of the world.
33:09This is Worlds Collide.
33:12Nice Panetta.
33:14He same for ê³µar.
33:15He's svaga, he's the star, he's the star, he's the star,
33:22r
33:24So for now it reusable deadly with his fans.
33:33We got Si.
33:35Let's get the way!
33:46Does Dominik Mysterio have what it takes
33:49to become a double champion
33:51and triple-A mega champion tonight?
34:05Dirty Dob has the loaded mask on!
34:30Dirty Dob doubled down
34:32and became double champion!
34:36Oh hell, Dirty Dob!
34:47Oh, talk about a mood changer!
35:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
35:20And introducing first from Bulgaria,
35:25weighing in for 270 pounds,
35:29Rusev!
35:32This man coming off perhaps the biggest win of his career
35:37in a good old-fashioned Donnybrook against Sheamus at Clash in Paris!
35:42And for the first time in eight and a half years,
35:44the Bulgarian Brute returns the main event,
35:46and I think you talk about some of those recent outings,
35:48he does appear to be on the upward trend!
35:51He is the single-handling most scariest individual right now,
35:56I believe in all, and I mean all, of WWE!
36:01That's certainly no understatement there!
36:04As you see the look of the Bulgarian Brute!
36:10As WrestlePalooza is presented by Xfinity!
36:12The smartest Wi-Fi made for streaming WWE!
36:15Xfinity, imagine that!
36:17Viva la raza!
36:20I see he's starting to move!
36:24Stay out of my personal life, Blake!
36:29And he's a queen of companies by Joaquin Wilde!
36:36Waking at 190 pounds!
36:40Representing the LWO!
36:44Cruz Del Toro!
36:47I'm glad Joaquin Wilde came out because I've forgotten my hat tonight,
36:50so I'm glad we at least had some representation.
36:52Well look, I think it's very interesting that Cruz Del Toro is going at this alone,
36:57going in there against someone as dangerous as Rusev.
37:00We just talked about that matchup that took place in Paris.
37:03When I think of Cruz Del Toro, we know he's fearless,
37:06we know he's a daredevil, we know he likes to take high risks,
37:09but going at it alone is a huge risk to take and the bell hasn't even sounded.
37:14But Vic, you can't discount the background of Cruz Del Toro,
37:18the treasure of Cordoba, a 19-year veteran.
37:21Don't often see him in singles action, but a big opportunity here tonight.
37:25It is, and that's a great point you bring up, Blake,
37:27because you're looking at someone right now in Cruz Del Toro
37:30that is typically a tag team competitor.
37:33He's transitioning to that single star here tonight.
37:35If he can knock off someone like Rusev in this moment,
37:39you gotta wonder what could come his way, what could come LWO's way,
37:43but it's also a very tall task.
37:47Certainly would be a massive upset right there,
37:49and, of course, Cruz Del Toro fresh off that wild eight-man lucha action at Worlds Collide.
37:55Always impresses me every time we get to see Worlds Collide.
37:58Corey Graves on the call along with JBL, Conan, and, you know, the announced team there.
38:02A couple legends right there.
38:03I mean, they are just, you just feel the energy every time you turn on AAA.
38:07And when someone like Cruz Del Toro steps in the ring, he starts flying around.
38:11Rusev knows that. That's why he's stomping him into the mat.
38:15I think you talk about Rusev defeating Sheamus at Clash in Paris.
38:18Also gotten by Penta recently on Monday Night Raw.
38:20How much momentum right now for the Bulgarian person?
38:22He's got a lot of momentum.
38:23And if I'm right now Adam Pearce, he's got a tough job.
38:28All our general managers have a tough job in the WWE.
38:31But I would be scared that Rusev's gonna come knocking on my door.
38:34He'd probably break it down to start asking for championship opportunities.
38:38That's stick and move strategy here from Cruz Del Toro.
38:40Of course, Rusev, a three-time United States champion.
38:43Have to consider that as well.
38:45We talk about John Cena taking on Brock Lesnar at Wrestle Palooza.
38:48Let's not forget, it was Rusev who took on John Cena at WrestleMania.
38:53This October, John Cena lands in Perth for a full-scale WWE takeover.
39:07It all starts with SmackDown, ends with Raw, and in the center of it all.
39:13Cena takes the spotlight for one of WWE's most massive nights.
39:18WWE Crown Jewel in Perth, all at RAC Arena.
39:22WWE Takeover, Perth, this October.
39:25Combo tickets on sale now.
39:28Back here on Main Event, Rusev continuing to control throughout the break.
39:36And the Bulgarian Brute showing that domination that we've seen throughout his
39:39return to the WWE.
39:40How scared would you be?
39:41I hate to cut you off and I apologize for it, but look at this man.
39:44He's just walking so slow, so methodical.
39:47He's enjoying every second of brutalizing Cruz Del Toro.
39:52I mean, now he's having a little bit of fun, he's gloating, but just take a look at the demeanor.
39:56Take a look at the body language, take a look at the eyes.
39:58He is having fun hurting his opponent.
40:01Very much looking laser focused here as Rusev wants to continue his domination.
40:06Of course, we saw a recent collision on a live event with the NXT Champion Obafemi.
40:11Vic, how big of a dream match is that?
40:13It'd be a huge match and you know we're coming off NXT homecoming, so never say never.
40:19Of course, we were first introduced to Bulgarian Brute over a decade ago in NXT.
40:23There's a cover, hooks the outside leg.
40:25Only gets two.
40:26Of course, we saw a lot of his peers this past Tuesday at homecoming at Full Sail.
40:29We certainly did Full Sail University.
40:31It was quite the homecoming on NXT, but right now if you're Rusev.
40:36Vicious kicks.
40:37You're not worried about anything else than the body that is in front of you,
40:41because that body is a hurdle.
40:44A hurdle to what?
40:45As you've already touched on, championship goal.
40:48Talked about those three reigns as United States Champion covering 312 days.
40:53And ever since Rusev returned to the WWE this past spring,
40:56you have to imagine he's looking for championship gold once again.
41:00Rusev right now trying to wear down the body here of Cruz del Toro.
41:04And we talked about del Toro's high flying, his tactics, his daredevil attitude.
41:09You can't really jump around the ring and fly if you can't get off the mat.
41:13This is sound strategy throughout this matchup from Rusev.
41:17Pure domination right here.
41:18And coming up next, we're gonna see a mini preview of tonight at Wrestle Palooza.
41:22As the vision has added another Uso to its hit list in the form of Jimmy.
41:26You can hear the WWE Universe just ever so slightly trying to rally Cruz del Toro.
41:36But is it too little, too late?
41:38And as we question whether the Usos are able to take down Paul Heyman's juggernaut tonight,
41:42can Cruz del Toro possibly overcome this attack by Rusev?
41:45He is gonna need a Herculean type effort in this matchup.
41:49I mean, it'd be the comeback of all comebacks in WWE history.
41:54As Cruz del Toro, we've seen him as an underdog before.
41:57But that stick and move strategy here, Vic, could be what brings him to victory.
42:01He's gotta keep his foot on the gas right now.
42:03He's got Rusev down.
42:04Rusev's hurt.
42:05Rusev's confused.
42:06Swing and a miss.
42:07Oh!
42:08And del Toro just getting peppered.
42:10Picking his shots right here.
42:11Rusev trying to create some separation.
42:14And how wise of Cruz del Toro.
42:16Instead of continuing to run and hit the rope, he stopped, turn, hit that drop kick.
42:20He knows he can't give any space to Rusev.
42:23He's gotta stay on top of the Bulgarian brute.
42:26His third singles match of 2025.
42:28Looking to make the third time a charm right here is Cruz del Toro.
42:32Big step up in Seguri.
42:34Rusev is stunned.
42:38Oh, Vic, this might be a mistake.
42:40Oh.
42:41Trying to move 270 pounds of the Bulgarian brute.
42:44But again, that stick and move.
42:46Just got out of the way.
42:47Looking to fly.
42:48Del Toro upstairs.
42:49Missile drop kick.
42:50Sending Rusev to the outside.
42:52Everything Rusev tried to stop at the beginning of the matchup.
42:55Cruz del Toro now has turned things around on a dime.
42:57And we could be on the verge of the biggest comeback in WWE history.
43:03Twisting tope to the outside.
43:05We wonder, how can del Toro overcome the size and strength of the Bulgarian brute?
43:09We might be seeing that blueprint right here.
43:12Just like how fast.
43:13Rusev already rising back up out of the ashes.
43:16Del Toro to the top.
43:18Looking to fly.
43:19Going for it once again.
43:20Cross body.
43:21Got him.
43:22Hooks the outside leg.
43:23And Rusev able to press out.
43:25But del Toro keeping his foot on the gas.
43:27Shining Wizard.
43:28Vic, is this a mistake not going for a cover?
43:31I don't think so because he didn't waste that much time.
43:34Hit that moonsault.
43:35Will it?
43:36And that came Brada only getting two again.
43:38Kicked out at one.
43:39Rusev kicked out at one.
43:40Del Toro throwing everything he can right now.
43:43And you see that sense of desperation in his eyes.
43:46And the LWO member getting in wheelbarrow position.
43:50But that might have been a mistake.
43:51Oh, slips out the back door.
43:54Can't count him out.
43:55There's his speed.
43:56Continuing to move is Cruz del Toro.
43:58Oh.
43:59Oh.
44:00My.
44:01And shot right down.
44:02Word.
44:06And Rusev getting into that zone here, Vic.
44:12Look to put the finishing touches on.
44:14Can't say that again.
44:15He's setting up the accolade.
44:18All the way back.
44:19And Rusev crush.
44:26Come on, ref.
44:29Here is your winner.
44:31By submission.
44:34Rusev.
44:37Absolute domination.
44:40And Rusev's return to main event.
44:43Cruz del Toro is rocking and rolling.
44:47He tried his best.
44:48In the end, though, it was just the power of Rusev.
44:52And just look at the torque.
44:53I mean, trying to break the man literally in half.
44:56Del Toro had nowhere to go and no choice but to tap.
45:00Too much to overcome right here.
45:02Rusev picking up some huge wins recently.
45:04Carried some big momentum here on main event.
45:10Jimmy.
45:11Jay.
45:12I'll give you guys credit.
45:13You are the greatest tag team in the history of the business.
45:18Until now.
45:19And just like the myth of the bloodline, the myth of you guys being the greatest is going to come to an end.
45:26Seth Rollins has a vision for this business.
45:29And your vision is looking up at the lights.
45:31As for tonight.
45:33Tonight we give you a little taste of what's going to happen at Wrestle Palooza.
45:38And we could let you take each other out.
45:41What is the fun of that?
45:43Do you guys understand the destruction that this man is capable of?
45:48And I don't want to hold him back.
45:51So L.A. Knight, Jimmy Uso, tonight you will find out what happens when the dog is off the leash.
46:01And Jay, after we run through L.A. Knight, after we run through your brother, you got to ask yourself, where do you go from here?
46:11Because at Wrestle Palooza, the Uso's are coming to an end.
46:15We will beat you at your own game.
46:17And you'll learn the same lesson that your cousin learned.
46:20Seth Rollins has a vision for this business.
46:23It doesn't change for anyone, at any time, at any place.
46:32Coming up, Big Jim answered the call, perhaps without caution.
46:36Mere days before reuniting with Jay in tag team competition.
46:40Jimmy Uso teams with the megastar L.A. Knight to face Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed.
46:46It's Uso and Knight against the Vision, next on Main Event.
46:53We'll see you next time.
47:24From humble beginnings in Ohio Valley to title matches on the grandest stages, two of WWE's biggest superstars have a rivalry that has spanned decades.
47:33And in Indianapolis, with one's career reaching its twilight, their final chapter will be written.
47:39It's the greatest of all time, John Cena, taking on the Beast, Brock Lesnar, one final time at Wrestle Palooza.
47:46Also this Saturday, a new Women's World Champion will be crowned.
47:51The genius of the sky, Io Sky, takes on La Primera Stephanie Vacker for the vacant Women's World Championship.
47:59From a match destined to steal the show to a match ten years in the making, AJ Lee returns to the ring as she teams up with CM Punk to take on Becky Lynch and Seth Freakin' Rollins.
48:11After a shocking return last Friday on SmackDown, the match has been made official.
48:17This Saturday, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes will defend his undisputed WWE Championship against the Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre.
48:26And lastly, Jimmy and Jey Uso reunite to face Braun Breaker and Big Bronson Reed in Indianapolis.
48:33Will Jimmy and Jey be the latest victims to fall at the hands of the Vision?
48:38Or will Breaker and Reed be the latest tandem to be welcomed to the Uso Penitentiary?
48:43We find out this weekend on the first ever premium live event on ESPN, Wrestle Palooza.
48:50But before we touch down an ending, we look back to last Monday as the megastar has called first dibs on the Braun Brons.
48:59And he has found some help in the form of Jimmy Uso.
49:02Let's get into the action.
49:08Takes a little more than that against this man, but he's gonna give everything he can, Corey.
49:13Trying to chop down Ozzilla blow by blow.
49:17So we could have a jagged edge in our future.
49:20Last week he finished things.
49:21But a jagged edge, but what a counter by Knight.
49:24Looking for the jump up leaping elbow and he lands it.
49:38And now, Uso splash.
49:42He hits it.
49:44And the save from Breaker.
49:46Breaker using that incredible closing speed of his to keep the matchup alive for his team.
49:54But the damage has been done to Big Bronson Reed.
49:57A megastar elbow followed immediately by an Uso splash.
50:02Had it not been for Breaker, LA Knight might have his revenge.
50:06You would think there would be no way to survive those two packs.
50:11Back and out onto the floor.
50:14Taking him out hard to the floor.
50:16Knight brings down Breaker.
50:18Look out, Joe.
50:19Incoming.
50:20Big Jim bulldozing Ozzilla into our announce table.
50:29Do it again, Jimmy.
50:31He may want more.
50:33And he needs a right hand instead.
50:36Colossal forearm of Reed stopping Big Jim dead in his tracks.
50:42LA Knight off the steel steps.
50:46Knight in a frenzy swinging at everything that moves.
50:53Super kick by Uso.
50:56Here comes Jim.
50:57Looking to string together.
50:59Offense the spear.
51:00He hits the spear.
51:02Big Jim with the spear.
51:05God.
51:09A high flying aerial assault shoulder tackle by Breaker.
51:16Breaker kicked off by Jimmy Uso, who's trapped.
51:19Shagged Edge, Shagged Edge lands.
51:23One, two, three.
51:25And that does it.
51:28Here are your winners, the team of Braun Breaker and Big Brunson Reed.
51:40Joe, how in the hell do you stop this duo?
51:45These two powerhouses, these two maniacs.
51:49Now listen, in five days, the Usos have to battle Breaker and Reed.
51:54They're softening him up right now.
51:56Full speed, spear.
51:59Best spear ever.
52:02Keep in mind, LA Knight is forward after what happened with that high flying
52:08monstrous shoulder tackle.
52:10Jey wasn't gonna stand on by.
52:19I am still my brother's keeper.
52:22Steel chair in hand.
52:25Jey Uso, as they were beating down his brother, coming to the rescue.
52:32It is raining steel in Springfield.
52:35My God, he just punched the steel chair out of his hand.
52:40Jey, and Big Brunson Reed.
52:44A right hand.
52:48The steel chair right to the gut.
52:52Every bit of it.
52:56Just beating down Brunson Reed.
53:01Loose souls against Breaker and Reed coming at Russell Palooza.
53:06Big Jey took damage five days away from .
53:13Reed, Reed, Reed, Reed, Reed, Reed, Reed.
53:23And the vision finally become too much.
53:26You all right?
53:27The only Knight getting back to his feet.
53:32Knight's grabbing a steel chair.
53:34Sure.
54:04And that's better to see.
54:34That receipt just went to the next level.
