00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Then, now, forever, together.
01:00Tonight, the last time is now for John Cena.
01:10But before the GOAT, we kickstart this historic day of action.
01:13Welcome to Main Event.
01:44The following contest is scheduled for one call.
01:54Introducing first, from Kyoto Japan, playing in at 220 pounds, Shinsuke Nagamura!
02:05And you can feel the energy from the WWE Universe.
02:11As we're getting the action started on this monumental day with a very special treat here, Vic.
02:18After nearly a decade in the WWE, Shinsuke Nakamura finally making his Main Event debut.
02:24This is quite a moment, I mean, for everyone here, just the aura of this man.
02:30You've never been ringside.
02:32You've never called a Shinsuke Nakamura match.
02:34I mean, this is someone who has done everything in this industry, who is so well-respected.
02:40And what a moment this is here on Main Event.
02:42Hey, Kit Wilson, are you there?
02:46Hey, Kit Wilson!
02:50Hey, hey, hey, Kit Wilson!
02:54I'm the true real one, feelin' emotion.
02:58Kit Wilson!
03:00We ain't good emotion.
03:02And his opponent, from fucking upstairs England,
03:06Swing in at 210 pounds,
03:10Kit Wilson!
03:13Ah, the bubbly pop princess inside me is so happy right now.
03:18When I get to see Kit Wilson,
03:20this is someone who has certainly changed my perspective about this man.
03:23I used to look at him, I used to stare, I used to snicker,
03:27whether he was in a tag team, now he's a single star.
03:29He certainly has grown on me.
03:33I can tell you that much.
03:34I have become a big fan of this individual.
03:37Well, he certainly made his way right to the top of Vic Joseph's charts.
03:39I know it right at the top of your playlist right now.
03:41I'll tell you what, this song is gonna be number one on my Spotify at the end of 2026.
03:46I'm gonna be in the .0000001 of listeners, active listeners, to Kit Wilson's theme.
03:5399% listening, I bet you right there,
03:55as the flag bearer against toxic masculinity.
03:58Easy for you to say.
03:59Leading the charge once again here all throughout the WWE.
04:01And from Friday night to SmackDown here on Main Event, Vic, Kit Wilson's starting to turn some heads.
04:06Look, this is a big test for Kit.
04:08All joking aside, enough with the ha-ha, the bell has sounded, you know, time for jokes are over.
04:12This is a big test for Kit Wilson.
04:15I would dare say the toughest, no doubt, since he's gone down this single route.
04:20I mean, look who he's in there with.
04:22A standard bearer, a measuring stick in this industry.
04:25As we certainly talk about his theme moving up the charts.
04:28The seventh appearance in singles action here on Main Event for Kit Wilson.
04:32Certainly looks very comfortable on his own.
04:33I say it's a big test.
04:35I want to get back to that.
04:36I'm sorry.
04:36I say that it's a big test.
04:38It's also a good test.
04:40This is really the ability right now for Kit Wilson, for general managers around the WWE,
04:45to see exactly what Kit Wilson can do.
04:49And this is a test for him to have, honestly, have a true way of measuring himself.
04:52We know SmackDown general manager Nick Galdes says, here we go, Shinsuke Nakamura trying to get control early on.
04:58Certainly, as we've seen on SmackDown, Shinsuke Nakamura in recent weeks has had his issues with the MFTs on Friday nights.
05:04He has.
05:05I mean, no one wants issues with any member of the MFT, especially not someone like Solo Sokoa.
05:09But Shinsuke can handle himself.
05:10I mean, former Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, Tag Champion, NXT Champion,
05:15and someone who's competed at WrestleMania, he has seen, and he has done it all.
05:19Can't forget 2018 Royal Rumble winner, Shinsuke Nakamura, as well.
05:22Look, Royal Rumble's right around the corner.
05:24We're going to blink.
05:25It's going to be here before we know it.
05:26And then we will all be on the road to WrestleMania.
05:29I can't really feel it's starting to amp up right now as Kit Wilson.
05:33Picture-perfect dropkick right to the mouth of Shinsuke Nakamura.
05:36It's going to be a big win for Kit Wilson on such a huge day, also.
05:40You know, we all know what today is.
05:42Saturday night's main event, Nations Capital, John Cena's final match.
05:45Against the last-time-is-now-winner tournament, Gunther.
05:48And, of course, all throughout that tournament, we saw some top-level competition as Damian Priest,
05:53Carmelo Hayes, Sheamus, all superstars in that tournament, which Kit Wilson has taken on
05:57in recent weeks here on main event.
05:59Into the cover here, Nakamura.
06:01Shoulders are down only two.
06:02He's taken on another one, and Shinsuke Nakamura, and I remember seeing Shinsuke Nakamura lock up with John Cena.
06:07And it was back in 2017 on SmackDown.
06:09Shinsuke won that match, and I believe earned himself a championship opportunity at SummerSlam.
06:14That was a dream match then.
06:16Same can be said for later tonight.
06:18Cena-Gunther, another dream match tonight.
06:20Certainly a career highlight there for Nakamura.
06:22And though he did not advance in the tournament the last-time-is-now tournament,
06:25a tremendous honor being included for the opportunity to face John Cena.
06:28It certainly was.
06:29And I've got to say it again.
06:30I mean, this is a treat to see Shinsuke on main event.
06:32You know, and I like to tie anything I can to NXT as now things getting turned around right now by Kit Wilson.
06:38And Wilson with that bulldog off the top.
06:40Let's see if he can capitalize here.
06:41Going for the cover.
06:42Heads up, moved by the veteran Nakamura to go to the outside.
06:45Veteran instinct.
06:46I was getting ready to talk about Tuesday.
06:47We saw, and we talked about Obafemi being a two-time NXT champion.
06:51Shinsuke is one of the few superstars to hold that title two times.
06:54And Obafemi also has a big test later tonight when he goes one-on-one with the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes.
07:00Certainly looking to pave the path for his future as John Cena closes his out.
07:04And Vic, of course, speaking of two-time NXT champions, Kit Wilson, a former two-time NXT tag team champion,
07:10certainly knows how to get it done.
07:11And he can certainly, has a championship pedigree.
07:14He showed that NXT UK, he showed that in NXT.
07:16The difference now, though, he doesn't have someone to tag.
07:18The difference is now he is on his own.
07:20And the one thing he's going to have to continue to do is keep up and continue to amp up.
07:25Here we go into the cover.
07:26Hooks that outside leg.
07:27Only two there.
07:27The aggression that we're seeing right now because this is a big match for both these men.
07:32We're into December.
07:33They're trying to build momentum, as we already talked about, into the Royal Rumble.
07:36Everyone trying to build momentum also into the new year.
07:39Of course, Kit Wilson right now looking to turn some heads.
07:42We talk about maybe having the attention of SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
07:47It looks like he feels Shinsuke Nakamura is a bit toxic right here.
07:50I don't necessarily want to agree with him.
07:52But look, Kit Wilson has his own, his mind's made up.
07:55He looks around, and that's what he sees. Perception is reality.
08:00As he's certainly planted his flag and his stance against toxic masculinity on Friday night's SmackDown here on Main Event.
08:06Can't take a step back.
08:07He's got to continue to showcase, and he's got to showcase a lot in this match.
08:10This would be an upset.
08:12This would be a statement victory.
08:14But taking a little bit too much time.
08:16Indeed.
08:17Not capitalizing right there was Kit Wilson.
08:19Now Nakamura looking to take full advantage right here.
08:22Look at the strikes.
08:23Vic, we talked about some of the accolades of Nakamura in this 2025 year in the Royal Rumble.
08:28Money in the Bank qualifying participant in the King of the Ring.
08:31He's had some opportunities looking to parlay that into 2026.
08:34He certainly can.
08:34What a big kick to the side of the face of Kit Wilson for Shinsuke Nakamura.
08:39How about a little good vibrations?
08:44You know about that striking ability.
08:46Look at the match.
08:47Kit Wilson to boot.
08:48Yeah, the Mark Wahlberg hip's going for a second.
08:50Step up with the enziguri right there is Shinsuke.
08:53Now Nakamura.
08:54That's how quick, how dangerous Shinsuke Nakamura is.
08:58That big-time striking ability there.
09:00Pulls Kit Wilson down into the cover, hooks the inside leg.
09:03One thing I've learned from watching Shinsuke Nakamura, whether it was our time in NXT,
09:07as I mentioned that match on SmackDown with John Cena, is he moves with purpose.
09:13We certainly know John Cena's opponent tonight, Gunther's a lot of purpose.
09:16We'll hear from him next as he looks to inflict some pain on John Cena here tonight.
09:20Oh, no.
09:21And Kit Wilson sits out with it.
09:24Almost a modified bookend right there.
09:28And for Kit Wilson, I don't know why I didn't go for the cover.
09:30He could have had a major victory.
09:33He could have had a shocking victory.
09:34He could have had an upset victory.
09:35Nakamura's shoulders were indeed down.
09:37Kit Wilson looking to turn the course right here.
09:39Now Nakamura, reverse exploder.
09:43Nice job by Shinsuke.
09:44Uh-oh.
09:45Not dialing it up.
09:46Target required.
09:47In position.
09:49Oh.
09:50Was going for it all.
09:51Kit Wilson, nice counter.
09:53And Kit.
09:53Oh.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:55This could be the upset.
09:55This could be it.
09:56Kit Wilson.
09:57Drives Nakamura down.
09:59Ooh.
09:59And right as Daphne LaShawn's hand was coming down for the third time, Nakamura able to hang on.
10:05Half second away from what I would call the biggest upset of the year.
10:10And, Vic, we've seen this elbow rain down many times.
10:14And Nakamura able to move out of the way.
10:17And Shinsuke looking to dial it up now.
10:19Oh.
10:20Coming back the other way with the heel.
10:22First, you don't succeed.
10:23Try and try again.
10:24In the position.
10:26Kinshasa.
10:28And a statement victory from Nakamura.
10:33Here is your winner.
10:35Shinsuke Nakamura.
10:40Well, Vic, right on the cusp of John Cena's final match.
10:43One of his all-time opponents, Shinsuke Nakamura, coming up with a big win in his main event debut.
10:48I take nothing away from Kit Wilson throughout this entire match.
10:51He's obviously going to be very frustrated with the conclusion.
10:55But as you go back, Kit Wilson was bringing his best.
10:58In the end, though, Shinsuke Nakamura able to overcome with that Kinshasa for the victory tonight.
11:04And Shinsuke Nakamura back on his winning ways.
11:08He's been re-energized in recent weeks.
11:10Started 20-25 off as U.S. Champion.
11:13Now looks ahead into 20-26 on the highest of notes.
11:15Still to come, the stamina monster of the Alpha Academy, Akira Tozawa, steps into the ring for singles competition as he goes one-on-one with Rayo Americano of Los Americanos.
11:27But first, we turn back to last Monday, as Logan Paul enacted a brutal attack on Rey Mysterio in response to their heated confrontation last week.
11:36But as Rey Mysterio looked to turn things around, it was none other than a mystery man who will carry out Logan's mission to take out the legendary Luchador.
11:45But just as it looked like things would go from bad to worse, an L.A. Knight would head out to the ring to issue a challenge to the Maverick.
11:53My God, if that is Seth Rollins, I'm going to have a damn aneurysm because I'm going to stomp his damn head in.
11:59But I'm going to tell you right now, just when I thought the vision couldn't suck anymore, your sorry ass joined up.
12:06So I'm going to tell you like this, Rey Mysterio out here, a damn legend, and you want to treat that man like that.
12:14I'm a little pissed off if you can't tell.
12:16Things ain't exactly been going my way.
12:18And with that being the case, when I watch you do something like this, my man, it's time for you to pay.
12:27Now, I don't want you to pay Saturday.
12:29I don't want you to pay Friday.
12:31I want you to pay on Monday.
12:33I want you to pay right here in KC.
12:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're done for a buddy's there.
12:52Yeah.
12:53And the match has been
13:03been made official.
13:04It will be the Maverick versus the Megastar in a heated face-off between these two bitter rivals.
13:09Can LA Knight get his payback on the loudmouth high flyer of the vision?
13:13Will Logan Paul continue to put his stamp on the Raw roster with a massive victory overnight?
13:18We will find out tonight.
13:19Coming up next, off the heels of an impressive victory over LA Knight in the finals of the Last Time Is Now tournament,
13:27the Ring General, Gunther, has returned to Raw with a message for the greatest of all time.
13:31What will Gunther have to say to the WWE Universe just days before he competes in John Cena's final match?
13:38We find out when we return on Main Event.
13:46My name is John Cena.
13:48I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry.
13:50The time is up.
13:52And I'm living the dream.
13:53The champ is here.
13:55My time is there.
13:57My time is there.
13:57My time is there.
13:57My time is there.
13:57My time is there.
13:58My time is there.
14:00My time is there.
14:02You can't see me.
14:05My time is there.
14:07From the moment I announced my farewell tour over a year ago, the one question I've been
14:23asked more than any other is, who do you want to face in your last match?
14:32My answer has always been the same.
14:36On my last day, I want to face whoever is willing to step up and seize the same kind of opportunity I was given on my first day.
14:49We begin The Last Time Is Now tournament.
14:54The field filled with competitors from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and maybe even some faces who don't even work here.
15:06No way!
15:07Zekeman!
15:09Don't tell me you're going to bring your frosted tips back.
15:12Woo!
15:12Woo!
15:13Woo!
15:13My final opponent isn't going to be handpicked.
15:17It's going to be hard earned.
15:19The 16-man field to see who will be John Cena's final opponent.
15:25You want some?
15:28Go get some!
15:30Gunther and L.A. Knight, one of these men, will get the opportunity to face John Cena.
15:41Saturday night's main event and Cena's final match of his legendary career.
15:46It's an AA!
15:47Nothing pretty about this match.
15:51Oh, BFT!
15:53From out of nowhere!
15:54Gunther got his foot on the bottom rope!
15:57Squeezing the breath out of L.A. Knight.
15:59It is official.
16:03Gunther and Cena in his final match.
16:06Hey, John!
16:07Saturday night's main match, you finally give up!
16:11The end of an era is almost here.
16:17After more than two decades shaping the very fabric of this industry,
16:21John Cena will enter the ring one final time for his last ever match
16:25at Saturday night's main event on Saturday, December 13th in Washington, D.C.
16:30Don't miss your chance to witness WWE history live on Peacock.
16:35And with the leader of the C-Nation's final match on the horizon,
16:37we turn to last Monday, where Gunther addressed the WWE Universe
16:42ahead of the opportunity of a lifetime.
16:44We want Cena!
16:44We want Cena!
16:46We want Cena!
16:48Well, don't get your hopes up, he's not coming tonight.
16:51Because right now is my time.
16:59And as I walked to the ring, it dawned on me.
17:07By submitting LA Knight, I earned one of the biggest honors in my career.
17:14In five days,
17:19I will be the last opponent in the last match in the career of John Cena.
17:3117 World Championships, all the time on the road.
17:44Hustle, loyalty, respect, all of that.
17:47I fully disagree, John Cena is the greatest sports entertainer of all time.
17:54But I'm just here to remind everybody that on Saturday,
18:00John Cena will face the best professional wrestler of all time.
18:06Pull up the clock for me.
18:12Come on, pull it up.
18:14Here we go, this is the countdown to Saturday.
18:22And I wanted all of you to see this so
18:23you precisely know how much time you got left to admire John Cena as your hero.
18:30A hero that never gives up.
18:36So John, beating you on Saturday is not enough for me.
18:47I'm gonna do something that nobody ever managed before.
18:53I'm gonna break your spirit.
18:58I'm gonna push you around, I'm gonna bully you.
19:03I'm gonna drop you on your head.
19:06And then I'm gonna wrap my arms around your neck.
19:11And I'm gonna squeeze, I'm gonna squeeze with everything I have.
19:16Until the last bit of hustle, loyalty, and respect has left your body.
19:24Until there's only one way out.
19:29Until I force you to do the one thing that you said you would never do.
19:37I'm gonna force you to give up.
19:42The last time is now for John Cena.
19:52As the never foreseen 17-time champion is prepared for one final battle
19:57to cap off his legendary career.
19:59And after a highly competitive last time is now tournament.
20:02The man he will stand toe to toe with is none other than the Ring General Gunther.
20:06As a former World Heavyweight Champion and the longest reigning
20:09Intercontinental Champion of all time.
20:12Will Gunther have what it takes to overcome the greatest of all time in his last match?
20:17We will find out at Saturday night's main event.
20:21But now we turn back to Monday Night Raw.
20:23As the fighting champs AJ Styles and Dragon Lee faced off against the War Raiders with the
20:28disgruntled New Day on commentary for this intense matchup for the World Tag Team Championship.
20:35Oh man, can we not encourage the New Day with the camera in their face in the midst of a championship match?
20:41I think everyone is exasperated at this point.
20:43All four competitors laying it on the line being serenaded by the new G'day at ringside who are keeping a close watch on this.
20:51Serenaded.
20:52Presumably wanting a piece of whichever team wins tonight.
20:57Most ringside has bleeding air drums right now, listen to them nonstop.
21:02Look at this from Eric and Ivar.
21:04Styles, 350 pounds of bowling ball, taking it out his partner.
21:11Like a human missile being fired across the ring in the shape of the massive Ivar.
21:16And Dragon Lee with more life in his body getting that second win and Eric might be down and out here.
21:23And AJ is thinking about it, and he is looking to deliver.
21:29Phenomenal forearm, a champ holding on to a belt.
21:44Here are your winners, and still, the World Tag Team Champions.
21:53Dragon Lee and the Phenomenal AJ Styles.
22:01Phenomenal forearm connects, gold retained.
22:05What a banger tag match we just had.
22:09But the fighting champs of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee retain the gold.
22:15I love the way they go about their business.
22:17And here is the group that seven days ago they defeated.
22:21Now coming up to the apron and entering the ring, the new day.
22:27Well, they decided it should have been them instead of the War Raiders with yet another bite of the cherry.
22:32The eight-time world champions making their way through the crowd here in Kansas City.
22:50Jimmy and J.
22:52Jimmy and J.
22:56We're getting ourselves a yeet party here in KC.
23:00I said the Usos are now.
23:13The Usos also got a big ass announcement to make.
23:22We are back in the tag team division.
23:26But why though, why though, I'll tell you why.
23:33These last couple of months, we've been getting hit hard.
23:35We've been taking L after L.
23:38War Games, L.
23:40Rispalooza, L. J losing his world championship, L. J losing the John Cena's last match, L.
23:49L. Man, I was sitting at home last week, watching my brother crash out.
23:55And I felt some kind of way, because this is Big Brother Jim.
23:58So at two in the morning, once he got back to the hotel, I give him a ring.
24:02I had one question on my mind, what we doing, Usos?
24:06I said, what we doing, Usos?
24:14I'm gonna tell you what we gonna do, what we doing.
24:16We gonna get back to us.
24:22We gonna block the noise, we gonna body them all, tag division on notice.
24:33The best damn tag team is now in your city.
24:39Big Jim, Big Jim, we need gold, we need gold,
24:45respect, respect to the tag team champions.
24:51Now, y'all don't know about us yet.
24:53They don't know about us, but they do.
24:56Yeah, yeah, you do.
25:03Yeah, Ali versus Frasier, Rock versus Austin,
25:07the New Day versus the Usos, and y'all know how this story ends.
25:11We gonna body y'all, we gonna run through you like we always do.
25:16Hey!
25:18Yo, back over here, Usos, we taking it all.
25:21I'm telling you, AJ, Little Canine, all that like a-
25:25Hey!
25:26Here we go!
25:27All that intensity boiling up and over.
25:34Start running, Wallace.
25:36Yeah, you may wanna run it back, Grayson.
25:38Yeah, you may wanna exit.
25:39Just run back.
25:43The Usos declaring that they are back in the tag team division.
25:48Now facing off with the champs.
25:51But how good does that feel?
25:53For Jey to turn things around and say, we're back as a team, Wade.
25:58Greatest tag team of all time are officially back, and
26:01they're coming for the gold.
26:02And if we know the fighting champs, they are down to defend.
26:07The Usos are back after battling as singles competitors for over the past year.
26:15Jimmy and Jay have once again reunited and have their eyes set on tag team gold.
26:20But they are not alone, as their longtime rivals, the New Day, look to get back to the mountaintop and prove themselves to be the greatest tag team of all time.
26:29Who will stand tall in the next installment of this great rivalry?
26:33We'll find out next week on Raw.
26:38Coming up next, the Women's World Champion, La Primera, is in the building.
26:42Coming off a victory against Nikki Bella at Survivor Series, what will Stephanie Becker have to say?
26:47We'll find out when we return to Main Event.
27:17Welcome back to Main Event.
27:27We are coming to you from Kansas City this week, where the WWE Universe were treated to some shocking new developments in the Raw Women's Division.
27:34After overcoming Nikki Bella, Stephanie Becker took to Raw last Monday with a message for the WWE Universe.
27:44Let's see what La Primera had to say.
27:47I am not someone who talks too much.
27:55I just speak through actions, and I can prove in this man,
28:01porque soy la mejor luchadora del planeta.
28:06I am the best, and no, it's not because of devil's kiss.
28:15I am the best, and Nikki, you are a legend.
28:23Eres parte del salón de la fama.
28:27Pero sabes que, Nikki?
28:29Today, in WWE, women's division is so different than 15 years ago.
28:37In this locker room, we have Rhea Ripley.
28:42We have Bayley, we have Nati, we have Io Sky, todas amazing.
28:49And do you know who is at the top?
28:55She's having some instant flashbacks a week and a half ago, isn't she?
29:09Wow, and first of all, Kansas City,
29:14you definitely don't deserve a presence of someone like me.
29:21Hall of Famer, a legend, not to mention a celebrity.
29:31No thanks, but you, we are so not done, let me tell you.
29:40And I came out here to tell you that I demand a rematch.
29:52Raquel Rodriguez.
29:59Big Mammy cools in town.
30:01Just long dots her right into the post,
30:07and it wipes her feet with Nikki Bella.
30:10.
30:17Name the time, name the place, and I'll be there to kick your ass and take your title.
30:32.
30:35Raquel Rodriguez is primed and ready for another matchup with the champ.
30:39But we turn now to backstage, where Liv Morgan had some thoughts on the actions of the Judgment Day.
30:45.
30:46That's an easy night for Finn.
30:48Did you see that, mate?
30:49I was getting ready to go out there, and lo and behold, your deadbeat dad got hit with the stomp and the nooks.
30:55Job done for Finn.
30:56Bro, I don't even know who this masked man is, but I kind of like him.
31:00Me too.
31:01Me three.
31:02Raquel, sister, hey, what was that all about?
31:06What?
31:07Nikki ruined my shot at the title last time, so I was just making sure she didn't do it again.
31:10Yeah, I get it.
31:11I guess I'm just, um, surprised that you didn't say anything.
31:15Oh.
31:16I didn't know we needed to run everything by you now.
31:19Oh, you don't, you don't, of course you don't.
31:21You know I want to support you as best I can.
31:23I can't wait to watch you become Women's World Champion.
31:26Sister.
31:27Yeah, thanks.
31:28Oh, which reminds me, I should go talk to Pierce about my title match.
31:31Get it.
31:35So, looks like I'm going to be in your corner tonight.
31:38Mine?
31:39Mm-hmm.
31:40I mean, that's great, but why?
31:42Because, silly, I need to make sure that anything happens to you.
31:46If Raquel's going for the Women's World Championship, that means you and I are the next Tag Team Champions.
31:51Got it?
31:53Good.
31:54Let's go.
31:59Good for them.
32:00I love it.
32:01Good for them.
32:02They're bonding.
32:06And here we go, Liv Morgan sensing danger.
32:08Look right to the eye behind the referee's back.
32:11Liv Morgan was up on the apron, barely eliminated the threat, and now Roxanne.
32:16But now Lyra Valkyria simply cannot see to defend herself.
32:20One, two.
32:21Well, extra sensory perception there to try that pin and may still get the win.
32:26She's looking for it.
32:27Can she line her up for Nightwing?
32:29Instead, it's Roxanne turning things around.
32:32Back and forth they go with the switch.
32:35O'Connor roll attempt.
32:36One, two.
32:37Getting her out of the way, and Liv Morgan is right there, right back to the eyes.
32:43A little bit to the nose more than anything, but either way is effective.
32:46Pop rocks.
32:48One, two, three.
32:49Hit it perfectly.
32:50One, two, three.
32:51Here is your winner, Roxanne Pourez.
33:02Well, Concord, whatever devious plan you like, with Liv Morgan by your side,
33:08victory is all but assured.
33:11And Lyra Valkyria battled valiantly despite that busted left arm, and in the end,
33:17raked eyes.
33:20A major victory here for the Judgment Day.
33:23Liv Morgan makes a difference, a big difference.
33:25Give credit to Roxanne.
33:31Coming up, Akira Tozawa faces off with none other than Ryo Americano.
33:36As the Alpha Academy's stamina monster meets the lucha prowess of one member of Los Americanos.
33:42The WWE Universe is in store for some non-stop action.
33:46It all goes down next, right here on Main Event.
33:59In Vegas, everything's a game.
34:03Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
34:08Just tension.
34:10Every move measured.
34:13Every look.
34:14A strategy sharpened.
34:16Always watching your back.
34:21Prepared for anything.
34:33Never knowing who the real threat is.
34:36Or who might show up at the table.
34:55WrestleMania Vegas.
34:56It's anyone's game.
34:57It's anyone's game.
35:01It's anyone's game.
35:02It's anyone's game.
35:03It's anyone's game.
35:08Nope.
35:0925...
35:13다고...
35:14Aaaaah!
35:19Aaaaaah!
35:22Aaaaah!
35:23Another one!
35:36Another one!
35:56Another one!
36:01Now, try it on me.
36:06Now, try it on me!
36:08The fourth one!
36:09A new year!
36:10It's a round-up!
36:12The next one!
36:14A new year!
36:16The last 10 years!
36:18This is a 2000 year!
36:20I'm a new year!
36:22I'm a new year!
36:24The other two years!
36:26They'll be an old year!
36:28I'm gonna play with you!
36:30We gotta play!
36:32Let's play that!
36:33Oh, my God.
37:03Again.
37:33Next week on Raw, Maxine Dupree will put her training in the Dungeon to the test as
37:37she defends her Intercontinental Championship against Ivy Nile.
37:42With a new attitude and gold around her waist, can the star pupil of the Alpha Academy finally
37:47overcome the Pitbull?
37:48Will Ivy Nile extend her undefeated streak against Dupree and capture her first singles
37:53title in the process?
37:55It's Nile vs. Dupree for the Intercontinental Championship next week on Raw.
38:03Welcome back to Main Event.
38:10Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, yeah!
38:18The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
38:22Introducing first, accompanied by Bravo Americano.
38:28Representing Los Americanos, weighing in at 205 pounds, Rio Americano!
38:37See, Blake, I told you it's not blue, it's not red, it's not Los Conquistadors.
38:42Will you finally show some respect to these two lucha legends?
38:47Well, it's certainly not Uno or Dos either as we're looking at one half for the grandest
38:52tag team from south of the border.
38:54I'm going to tell him you said that, by the way.
38:56No, you won't.
38:57Can you talk to these guys?
38:58Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole!
39:00I mean, don't worry about my personal business.
39:02Well, Ryo certainly set for a rare singles appearance right here.
39:06As the Royal Rumble is presented by Cricket.
39:11Join Cricket Nation to get reliable nationwide 5G.
39:14Smile, you're on Cricket.
39:16And by Ram Trucks.
39:17Nothing stops Ram.
39:19And by Intuit TurboTax.
39:21Now, this is Texas.
39:24The free information, yes, I do.
39:26I wave, I say hi, I acknowledge you.
39:29Probably just walked by him and snickered.
39:32I say Ole.
39:33And his opponent, accompanied by Otis, weighing in at 156 pounds, representing Alpha Academy,
40:00Okira Tozawa.
40:04Now, this is something for the WWE Universe to get excited about.
40:08As the Workforce of Main Event back for more today in some singles action,
40:12as the Stamina Monster wants to keep that positive momentum rolling.
40:15Never thought I'd say it.
40:16I'm out here right now, witnessing a powerful porterhouse, a flying filet,
40:22and I'm calling the action with a flaked potato.
40:26That's the best you came up with.
40:28I was very happy with myself on that one.
40:30How long did it take you to come up with this?
40:31Yeah, about how long have we been doing this?
40:32It's been a while.
40:33Six, seven months?
40:34Oh, look at you, right on top of it.
40:36Oh, I'd give myself a self high five if I could.
40:39Sounds like it came out of the Saxton playbook.
40:41Oof, that's a little bit.
40:42That's a little bit.
40:43As we're getting the action start here,
40:44Rio Americano, and once again, Vic, a very rare singles appearance
40:47for this tag team legend.
40:48Yeah, and I think you're just, did you say tag team legend?
40:51Are the words of you?
40:52Well, I think you're finally starting to see the light right now,
40:55and yes, it certainly is.
40:56I mean, this has been a big addition of Main Event.
40:59You talk about Shinsuke Nakamura, the competitors we have here now.
41:03We also talk about what's coming up later tonight.
41:05John Cena's final match, last time is now.
41:08It certainly is on Saturday night's Main Event in our nation's capital.
41:11That's coming up, of course, on Saturday night's Main Event,
41:13but also here to come on Main Event.
41:15The war against the Vision has really amped up for the megastar LA Knight.
41:19Oof, and after what transpired this past week on Monday Night Raw,
41:24you are not going to want to miss what happens.
41:27We're going to get some updates on LA Knight all throughout this broadcast
41:30as right now to Zawa creating some separation
41:32and snaps off to Hurricanrana from the top.
41:35As, of course, the Alpha Academy in some recent weeks
41:37has picked up some victories.
41:38They have to be feeling it.
41:39Whoa.
41:40Look at this.
41:42Lucha Legend himself right now putting on a display,
41:46putting on a showcase.
41:47And Ryo from the inside out goes for the slingshot plancha,
41:51and Tozawa picks up some steam back in, back out.
41:54And Tope Su is seated to the outside.
41:57Tozawa picking up some steam here.
41:58Yeah, Oda is very happy as well on the outside.
42:00Also got to think about Maxine Dupree, the women's Intercontinental Champion,
42:05all the training she's been putting in.
42:07You know that that has filtered down to these two as Tozawa.
42:10Going for that double stomp.
42:11Ryo may be able to move out of the way.
42:13He might have been looking for the senton.
42:15It might have been, hey.
42:16Ryo's got the official now.
42:17And there's Bravo grabbing the foot of Tozawa.
42:20Uh-oh.
42:21And here comes that powerful Porterhouse.
42:23Looking to even the odds right here.
42:27But back in the ring, big clothesline.
42:30Ryo takes advantage, looking to may take control here on Main Event.
42:33This holiday season, go big.
42:46Go big.
42:52And then go home.
42:57Have a safe trip home.
42:58Got it.
43:07Back in action here on Main Event.
43:09Ryo Americano in full control here, Vic.
43:11And of course, this rare singles appearance.
43:13Ultimately, who does that give an advantage to?
43:15I think it gives an advantage to, well, probably Ryo.
43:18I mean, this is someone who knows just how good he is.
43:20The rest of the world might not know.
43:22Akira Tozawa might not.
43:23He's certainly feeling the effects right now.
43:25Just take a look at the torque.
43:26Take a look at the bend.
43:27Look at the hyperextend that elbow.
43:28Pop out that AC joint.
43:29And this is what he does.
43:31He physically dissects his opponent.
43:34Doesn't matter if it's in Japan.
43:35Doesn't matter if it's in Canada.
43:37Doesn't matter if it's in America.
43:38Doesn't matter if it's in Mexico.
43:40Guatemala.
43:41Spain.
43:42Italy.
43:43Germany.
43:44You know what this man does.
43:45You should know that.
43:46You have filed his career.
43:47For a minute there.
43:48He sounded like all-ego Ethan Page talking about North America.
43:51As right now, Ryo in control here.
43:53And you talked about Mexico.
43:55You talked about AAA.
43:56The legend of Americano continues to grow south of the border.
43:59It certainly does.
44:00And everything that's going on in AAA right now, it's fascinating to watch.
44:02It's fascinating to follow.
44:03You go back to someone like Ethan Page.
44:06Certainly has had his problems with an individual like Mr. Aguana.
44:09But Tozawa.
44:10Oh!
44:11Having a lot of problems right now.
44:13Belly back suplex.
44:14Ryo into the cover.
44:15Does not hook the leg.
44:16Only two right there.
44:17Tozawa looks to hang on.
44:18Look at Ryo.
44:19So efficient on the mat.
44:20Being able to go down.
44:21This is someone who is trained in the dojos of Japan.
44:24Trained throughout Mexico.
44:25Went over to Europe.
44:26He is so fascinating to learn about this individual.
44:29Everything he knows.
44:30I mean he's probably forgotten more about this industry.
44:33Than all of us combined have ever learned.
44:35Of course we talk about Bravo on the outside.
44:37Ryo on the inside.
44:38Same goes for Bravo by the way.
44:39How big of assets are they to El Grande Americano?
44:42They're massive assets.
44:43But right now he's got to worry about getting back into this matchup.
44:47What a counter by Tozawa to the Shining Wizard.
44:49As the Stamina Monster is starting to pick up some steam here.
44:52Tozawa going to the top.
44:54He lives right at home up there Vic.
44:57Certainly does.
44:58Looking to fly.
44:59And the missile drop kick connects.
45:01Tozawa hooks the outside leg.
45:03Center of the ring.
45:04Oh that was close.
45:06And Ryo able to hang on here.
45:08Tozawa we talked about some recent victories in singles action.
45:11Of course alongside Otis.
45:13As the flying fillet running wild here on main event.
45:16About to feel the power of Tozawa.
45:19Oh.
45:20Oh Ryo coming right back.
45:21Some big strikes of his own.
45:22Thought about the super kick went low.
45:24Now combination offense connecting Tozawa.
45:26Rock knees buckle.
45:27But here's the elusiveness of Tozawa.
45:29Tozawa goes for it all right there.
45:31Look at that quickness.
45:32Steps off the German suplex.
45:33Holds the bridge.
45:34Shoulders are down.
45:35Oh.
45:36That looked to be very close right there.
45:39That was close.
45:40I think if you go back.
45:41The official.
45:42There's so much going on the outside right now.
45:44That he's got so much to worry about.
45:46I don't know.
45:47I didn't see it on the monitor.
45:48If his eye was maybe looking to the right or the left.
45:50Because that was dangerously close.
45:53Milliseconds.
45:54Within a hair's breadth of ending this matchup right here.
45:56As Tozawa going right back on the attack.
45:59Gonna scoop up Ryo Americano here.
46:02Ryo doing his best to shift his weight low.
46:04He obviously has the size, the weight, and maybe even the power advantage right now on Tozawa.
46:08As of course we know both these teams essentially would love a crack at potentially the world tag team championships.
46:14We of course have a big matchup tonight here on Saturday night's main event.
46:17Well that elbow connected.
46:18Wait.
46:19Bravo.
46:20Passing off maybe the nuts to Ryo.
46:22Well there's Otis.
46:24Wipes out Bravo there but the pass off already happened.
46:27But again the official looking to the outside.
46:29Not seeing what's happening inside the ring.
46:31Ryo loads up the mask.
46:33Takes out Tozawa.
46:36Into the cover.
46:37And it's a grand victory for Ryo Americano.
46:42Here is your winner.
46:44Ryo Americano.
46:47Textbook Americano offense.
46:51Well certainly textbook Americanos.
46:53We've seen that from El Grande Americano.
46:55They better get out of there.
46:56For many many months as Los Americanos head for the hills there.
46:59You see the pass off from Bravo to Ryo.
47:01Otis quickly gets rid of Bravo but that's not going to be enough and bam.
47:05But by doing that Otis drew the attention of the official to the outside to make sure everything was under control.
47:10Not witnessing what had happened in the ring which would open the door for Ryo.
47:16And picked up the big victory indeed.
47:18Rare singles action.
47:19But it's all Americanos here on Main of Hand.
47:23Coming up next it's the Mega Star versus the Maverick.
47:29After a tough loss in the last time is now finals against Gupta.
47:33L.A. Knight returns his focus to Raw.
47:36Following the brutal attack on Rey Mysterio.
47:38Knight rush to the rescue.
47:40Putting himself squarely in the crosshairs of the Vision and their high flying ace Logan Paul.
47:45Can the Mega Star stand tall against Paul and the Vision?
47:48Find out next on Main Event.
47:50Bet.
47:51Bet.
47:55It's fight weekend.

50:24L.A. Night's attack on Logan Paul

50:33And the splash from Logan Paul!
50:41Here is your winner,

50:53the Vision,
50:54the badass brawnbreaker,
50:56and big Bronson Reed ambush night.
51:00After the chaos,
51:01the Vision took center stage in the ring,
51:03delivering a final warning
51:04to the world heavyweight champion,
51:07CM Punk.
51:11I don't want to face
51:12this new nice guy, CM Punk,
51:14on January 5th.
51:16Because honestly, Punk,
51:17if that's what I'm going to get,
51:19you might as well stay at home
51:20and vacate the championship
51:21because I could beat that CM Punk
51:23easy.
51:25What I want
51:27is the old CM Punk.
51:31I want to face the guy
51:33from 2011, 2012, 2013.
51:37A guy that walked the halls
51:39as a feared man back there.
51:41A guy that beat The Rock.
51:43A guy that went on a historic championship reign
51:47over 434 days.
51:50A guy in my eyes as a young man,
51:52in my eyes,
51:53was one of, if not the greatest wrestler
51:55to ever lace a pair of boots.
51:57That's the guy that I want to face.
52:00So I'm begging you, please, Punk,
52:05I'm on my hands and knees.
52:09Please give me the old CM Punk
52:13because I want to beat the greatest superstar
52:18to ever lace a pair of boots.
52:21Because if you don't,
52:21if I don't get that version of CM Punk,
