00:00Now, forever, together.
00:30Oh, it's that time of year again.
00:35Bells are ringing, shoppers are shopping, and there's a sense of camaraderie in the air.
00:40Welcome on in to the jolliest edition of This Week in WWE.
00:44I'm Megan Morant.
00:45One of my favorite things about this time of the year is the way people come together.
00:49There's something about the way people forgive and let bygones be bygones just brings so much
00:55joy to my heart.
00:56It was in that spirit that Nick Aldis headed to the currently suspended Drew McIntyre's
01:01house to work out a deal for the Scottish Warriors' return.
01:05But not everyone involved would have tidings of good cheer.
01:12Hi, sir.
01:12I brought you guys with me here today to document everything because, unfortunately, it's come
01:17to this.
01:18I have to make sure I catch everything on camera because there's no way of knowing what Drew
01:24will misrepresent if I don't.
01:26Okay, first things first.
01:29Thank you for inviting me into your home.
01:31You're welcome.
01:32It goes without saying that this could have happened at the office, but out of respect
01:36and in the interest of good faith, here I am.
01:39And given the stunt you pulled in DC, really questioning why I still came.
01:46But Cody wants you reinstated, we all want you reinstated.
01:50You're a top talent in WWE, obviously, an integral part of SmackDown.
01:56So, I have a proposal.
02:01I think that you're going to like the terms.
02:05You get a one-on-one match with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
02:10The title will be on the line.
02:11And, secondly, to show our officials and the WWE Universe that you've repented, I'd like
02:21a public apology to Dan Angler for that heinous attack.
02:25He's lucky he's not in intensive care.
02:30There's also a hefty fine.
02:33But, I think that your payday from Survivor Series War Games should just about cover that.
02:41So, those are the terms.
02:43Take it or leave it.
02:44I get my match for the WWE Championship.
02:49Yes.
02:52The thing I want more than anything.
02:56I've got no choice.
02:59No.
03:01Absolutely not.
03:02No.
03:03No.
03:03This is what Cody wants.
03:05This is what you want.
03:07You've created an unsafe working environment.
03:11I accept these terms.
03:12I'm just going to get screwed again.
03:14So, no.
03:16I don't accept your terms.
03:19Instead of another monologue about all the ways you've been screwed, why don't you just
03:22tell me what you want.
03:23Okay.
03:24What I want was fair.
03:25Fair.
03:26That's it.
03:27If I come back, if I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes.
03:32That's deserved.
03:34I'm learning how much you're willing to protect your golden boy.
03:36But, I want to pick the stipulation.
03:40I can live with that.
03:41Okay.
03:41And last, but no means least, I want you to fly back to Stamford, Connecticut after we
03:48finish here.
03:49I want you to get your little lawyers together.
03:52And I want you to draw up some documents that say, Cody Rhodes cannot lay one finger on me
04:00before that championship match, or he is stripped of the WWE Championship.
04:06You know, I really hate this, but get the match in the ring.
04:19Got a deal.
04:23Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
04:25Come on, mate.
04:29How quick can I see those documents?
04:31How quick is it going to take to draw them up?
04:33Well, I have to tell Cody, and then I have to talk to legal, but maybe by the end of the
04:37day.
04:37End of the day.
04:38Fantastic.
04:40Fantastic.
04:40I'll never get out of here.
04:41What the hell is this?
04:42Oh, come on, man.
04:46You've got to be kidding me.
04:48You've seriously got to be kidding me.
04:51My house, my home, really all this.
04:53You set me up like this.
04:55You come to talk business.
04:57You bring him to my house when the family sleeps.
04:59Just stay there.
05:00I'll handle it.
05:00He's out there right now.
05:01I'll handle it.
05:02You can handle it.
05:03Handle it.
05:03I'll handle it.
05:04Why are we negotiating with that?
05:08What are you doing?
05:09What the diplomacy about?
05:10Why are you here?
05:10You're ruining everything.
05:12What am I ruining it?
05:13You're seriously going to show up and make that property?
05:27Come on.
05:28Let me on.
05:29Hey, you can't have it.
05:30Come down.
05:34I'll get him out of here.
05:37He has to have a house.
05:39He asked for it.
05:40He asked for it.
05:41He asked for it.
05:42Merry Christmas, ass.
05:44I'm not.
05:45I'm not.
05:46I'm not.
05:46I'm not.
05:46I'm not.
05:47I'm not.
05:48I'm not.
05:48I'm not.
05:48I'm not.
05:48I'm not.
05:49I'm not.
05:49I'm not.
05:50I'm not.
05:50I'm not.
05:50I'm not.
05:51I'm not.
05:51I'm not.
05:52I'm not.
05:55Following Cody's unexpected visit, the WWE world champion headed somewhere where he was expected.
06:02Smackdown last Friday.
06:03Cody chided Drew on his statements about WWE being an unsafe working environment.
06:09But it was Nick Aldis who was forced to be the voice of reason when it comes to the situation
06:15between Cody and Drew.
06:16Cody, you should have trusted me to get this thing over the finish line.
06:24But you didn't.
06:26So now, when Drew comes back, if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler, Cody,
06:36Cody, you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
06:44Or what?
06:48Nick, or what?
06:51Nick, or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
06:56You want me to acquiesce to that demand and your demand?
07:08I, okay, I can guarantee you that I will not touch Drew McIntyre.
07:16But in the spirit of all these demands, I should ask you something.
07:24I feel like, Nick, I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
07:31Right?
07:35Ask our mutual friend, Wade Barrett right there, who you're talking to.
07:40Ask Marty on the camera who you're talking to.
07:43You should say my name because you know it.
07:46I'm the one who sent the tweet that changed the game.
07:49I'm the one who came back here and run the Royal Rumble, not once, but twice.
07:53I am the reigning king of the ring.
07:55I unseated the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
07:58And I even defeated the greatest of all time, John Cena, for this title.
08:04I'm QB1, damn it.
08:11And here you are saying that I'm not above the law.
08:14As long as I have this title, I am the law.
08:18Mr. Aldis, my friend, your demand, his demand.
08:25Remember one thing, while I am holding this, I don't work for you, I work for them.
08:32And you, my friend, you work for me.
08:41A fired-up Cody Rhodes isn't happy with the terms of Aldis' deal.
08:52But it's very unlikely that the WWE World Champion will do anything to jeopardize the title.
08:58Though anything is possible if Cody is pushed hard enough.
09:01The question is, how far will Drew McIntyre go?
09:05We'll find out when Drew returns Friday on SmackDown.
09:11There is a shot to the jaw that changes the night of the Kabuki Warriors, perhaps.
09:23Certainly Kairi Sane, I think Asuka might have to do it on a right now.
09:26Right into the post.
09:28Asuka's trying to rally here as best she can.
09:32Well, effectively be two on one.
09:34There's only one Kabuki Warrior left standing, although in the drop zone now is Nia Jax, sensing it is Lash Legend.
09:43Lash Legend getting pulled back down to the floor by Kairi Sane.
09:47And now Nia Jax is going up top.
09:51Oh, this is gonna be ugly for Asuka.
09:55Or is it?
09:56Would you look at Asuka?
09:59Tag me!
10:00There's the tag.
10:02Delivering!
10:03And what a fun it was!
10:05Oh!
10:06Oh, what a scramble.
10:07Lash Legend.
10:08These two are not legal, but the fight continues.
10:11It's now down to Kairi Sane to try and win this for her team.
10:14Off the apron, does damage.
10:16I think Asuka caught a piece of that corner and steel steps away.
10:20Recklessly right onto Lash Legend, but it did the job.
10:24And now can Kairi Sane score the dub?
10:27He's looking for that insane elbow.
10:29Oh, but instead Nia meets her.
10:32Devastating chokeslam, and now dragging the carcass of Kairi Sane into what may well be the end.
10:42Looking for the annihilator and delivering.
10:44One, two, three.
10:46And just like that.
10:48Here are your winners, the team of Lash Legend and Nia Chex!
11:00While the tag champs, the Kabuki Warriors have a date with Destiny.
11:05Oh, wait a minute.
11:07Got the celebrations.
11:10Charlotte and Alexa heading straight to them.
11:15The former tag champs have got major issues with all four of the women who are out here,
11:20now focusing on the winners.
11:22Jax and Lash Legend.
11:24Look at Alexa, taking it right to Lash Legend.
11:28A week ago, you know exactly what happened when they met up.
11:31With a mass brawl, and of course the reason Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair no longer have the gold
11:38is in large part because of this duo they're now beating out of the ring.
11:42Look at the teamwork.
11:43The 14-time world champion putting Lash Legend right into that drop zone.
11:53Oh, but Nia Jax clears her.
11:56Saving Lash Legend from certain devastation.
12:00Issues between these four clearly not concluded.
12:04They want those in their hands for good again.
12:10Ambushed mid-celebration after a win over the Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax and Lash Legend got a not-so-friendly reminder
12:20from Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss that all hell has broken loose in the women's tag team division.
12:25With the Kabuki Warriors in the center of all of the chaos, just about everyone wants a piece of the current tag team champs.
12:32With Rhea Ripley next in line for a shot against Asuka.
12:36Despite being a one-on-one match, Kairi Sane is a guaranteed to be in Asuka's corner.
12:42But with Io Sky not medically cleared for in-ring competition, Ripley insisted her besties stay behind as she took on Asuka in one hell of an uphill battle.
12:52And now Ripley with Asuka up top.
12:58Down goes Asuka.
12:59Ripley into the cover.
13:01And a kick out at two.
13:04Nasty landing for Asuka.
13:07Let's take another look moments ago at this super kick to a trapped Empress of Tomorrow and then Asuka driven face first into the mat.
13:17We need a little dental checkup after that impact.
13:24The appreciation of the WWE fans in attendance.
13:29This is awesome.
13:30Two of the best in the game.
13:32And Riz says this one's over.
13:38Yeah, able to muscle up Asuka.
13:41Razor's edge position.
13:43Able to roll through, shoulders down.
13:46Is it enough?
13:47Kick out at two by Ripley.
13:52Again, these two know each other so well as Rhea gets hung up on the top rope and now dumped out to the apron.
14:01And Asuka drives.
14:02Uh-oh.
14:03Ripley catching Asuka.
14:05Rhea, come on Asuka.
14:06Back in the ring, come on.
14:07Asuka ripped out to the apron.
14:09Now German suplex position.
14:10Oh, goodbye.
14:11Landon hit the back of her head on the apron.
14:15I don't see how Rhea's getting up from that.
14:21A vicious German suplex on the ring apron.
14:24And now Asuka taking her time, climbing to the top turnbuckle.
14:30Asuka's gonna fly.
14:33But he got, she got caught by Ripley.
14:36And Rhea now with a running knee.
14:38And Asuka driven out of the ring.
14:41Veteran instincts from Asuka.
14:43Ripley looking to give chase.
14:46Here comes Rhea.
14:47Pulls her way off the apron and through Asuka.
14:50And that cannonball.
14:51And now Rhea Ripley.
14:52Regaining control this match.
15:02Still see the effects of Asuka's offense on the face of Rhea Ripley fighting through the pain.
15:07the pain uh-oh uh-oh kairi sane kairi again a difference maker in this match
15:16eo sky is here eo sky who's not medically cleared to compete is out here to try to even the odds
15:28down goes kairi and eo is hurting you have to understand eo's mindset but this is not a wise
15:38decision and kairi from behind dropping eo right on her back the injured back
15:43eo victimized by an insane elbow from kairi and now rhea ripley checking on her friend
15:52and from behind oscar rolls up ripley for the win and the price is well here is your winner
16:01oscar well cory obviously the concern for her friend who probably should have
16:07never came out here that was eo sky rhea trying to help her friend and it cost her
16:13with all eyes locking in on this collision course two weeks from now rhea ripley and eo sky will
16:22be fighting to win the tag team title rewrite the chain of command and leave a trail of broken
16:28kabuki warriors egos but oscar and kairi are confident that they will continue to hold the
16:33tag team division hostage and prove that there are absolutely no equals in sight
16:38after weeks of targeted attacks from aleister black and zelena against damian priest the archer
16:50of infamy finally leveled the playing field in the form of rhea ripley two weeks ago on smackdown
16:57the terror twins reunited in what can only be described as a bad tempered mixed tag team match
17:02rhea and damian reminding the world of how much of a devastating duo they make with tandem razors edge
17:09followed by a riptide putting away their most vicious rivals damian priest would make an appearance
17:15like last friday hoping to put alistair and zelena in the rear view and look towards 2026
17:20unfortunately for priest it turns out 2025 still has horrors for meaning
17:26now let's talk about some good times
17:31good times like last friday night smackdown
17:36when zelena and alistair got their asses dropped
17:41by the terror twins
17:43yeah that business has been handled so now we can look to 2026 and in 2026
17:53oh damian
17:59you are such a hypocrite
18:06you really think that getting your mommy to fight your battles for you makes you a real man

18:38or more importantly
18:41his
18:42oh
18:52alistair black was behind damian priest and he's beating him down
18:57what a sneak attack aided and abetted by zelena but the punisher damian priest fighting back
19:05fighting for his life at this point massive right hand delivered by priest
19:10just when damian priest thought he put this to bed with alistair black and zelena they are back with a vengeance but things have backfired
19:18just like last week no he's able to reverse onto the attempt for the razor's edge
19:22oh big knee from black muatai strikes
19:26of alistair black coming to the fort once again this is one dangerous man but caught in mid air
19:33a driven south of heaven

19:39damian priest
19:45reaching under the ring
19:49this crouch can explode
19:54nothing more they want to see than that
19:58damian priest apparently looking to finish
20:01the alistair black problem off for good
20:04well this might be one way to do it

24:25ilia draganov will continue to prove himself a fearless champion friday night on smack town
24:31while draganov is the only fearless champion in wwe maxine dupree has proven herself to be incredibly tenacious since becoming the women's intercontinental champion even if not everyone agrees
24:45last monday becky lynch returned to raw for the first time since losing the intercontinental title to maxine back in november and of course the self-proclaimed greatest female wrestler of all time had a lot to say in addition to that unquestionable self-evaluation becky claimed to be the real intercontinental champion but really the real champ had heard enough and quickly confronted her adversary
25:11listen i will admit sports illustrated was right you are the greatest of all time and i am just a rookie and we know that okay i get it but let's not forget that this rookie beat the greatest of all time
25:31and if i'm not mistaken did i only beat her one time did i only beat her two times
25:41yeah that's right becky i beat you three times
25:45i know i know that you want your shot at this again and to tell you the truth you can have it
25:52anytime anyplace but i gotta warn you bex
25:56i will stop at nothing to beat you again okay because you know what i will train until my blood
26:05sweat and tears are on this mat because now not only am i there intercontinental champion
26:11i am your intercontinental champion
26:14and all i want is for you to admit that please just take it on the chin like the man you say you are
26:27but you won't will you she won't no she's too busy complaining you complain about the referee
26:32you complain about everything under the sun and hey i gotta tell you
26:35in the moment you really don't look like the greatest of all time
26:41i'll tell you what you look like
26:45you look like someone who's afraid her best years are behind her
26:50sucker punch by becky lynch who's now patting away on the champion
26:57well maxine stuck a cord she's paying for it maxine certainly crossed the line the man not about to stand for that disrespect
27:04now parading around with maxine's intercontinental championship
27:20now becky's not done yet i mean i think she made her point
27:31maxine's disrespect has drawn the ire of the man wait a minute pick the leg
27:37the maxine looking for an ankle lock on becky ankle lock on lynch maxine's got it locked in
27:43and becky lynch trying to scramble away
27:49and maxine has got the ankle lock in
27:52uh-oh we know maxine's been putting in the work
27:54becky's screaming trying to somehow get out of harm's way here
28:02dupree trying to prove to becky and the world that this is no fluke
28:06that maxine herself is a worthy intercontinental champion
28:10we have certainly seen a new side of maxine dupree ever since she became the intercontinental champion
28:29but can the rookie champ carry the confidence all the way to another victory against the man
28:35on january 5th maxine puts her intercontinental title on the line against becky lynch on rocks

31:10we were just doing what you asked us to do
31:14but you know what you know what you're right you're right
31:17she was just trying to help that's what we're all trying to do we're all just trying to help each other
31:21because that's what family do and the judgment day is a family
31:23yeah okay it's christmas guys we all just gotta get back on the same page
31:27well i'd love to be on the same page but first we need to know what everybody is doing
31:31you know what you're right and i don't need this i have a championship match that i need to prepare for
31:36good luck
31:37well as always things were calm cool and collected in the judgment day clubhouse last monday
31:46all right maybe they were a little bit more confrontational contemptuous and chaotic but hey
31:51i'm sure they'll work it out eventually like they always managed to do
31:55but raquel rodriguez wasn't the only superstar fuming over the women's world championship
32:00nikki bella wants her shot at stephanie vaquer and was determined to make the world aware
32:05no matter how disruptive the moment
32:07um excuse me hello if y'all could shut up for a second
32:12the most famous person just walked into the building
32:16yeah and uh i have something to say so uh first of all michigan it seems like everyone has forgotten who i am
32:29i am nikki bella okay i am a legend i am a hall of famer and i am a former champion
32:43and this is what champions look like do you got that
32:48but you know what i mean how would you people know what champions look like i mean you root for the lions
32:56i mean let's be honest the lions wish they were as good as the philadelphia eagles am i right
33:06you are all looking at the star of this division and there is a reason why i am back
33:24last week i destroyed raquel rodriguez's face yeah y'all saw that
33:29and next week i will destroy stephanie back hair's reign
33:35look look look look i get it stephanie is a big deal in the ring
33:45but i am a big deal everywhere you got that
33:48and it's about time that that women's world title is around the waist of a true global super
33:59superstar and that is me the legend the one and only and don't forget it nikki bella
34:05while nikki bella looks to prove that she is still a force to be reckoned with in wwe
34:14raquel rodriguez wants both revenge on nikki for costing her the championship
34:18not to mention winning her very first singles title on raw
34:22and as for the champ well stephanie vaquer will do whatever she can to stay on top
34:27the women's world title is on the line monday on raw
34:31defeating john cena at saturday night's main event has made gunter public enemy number one
34:41especially after the ring general arrived to raw two weeks ago to rub in the fact that he made
34:47the 17 time champion tap out so it was no surprise when gunter got booed out of the arena by fans and
34:54superstars but it seems that gunter wasn't finished with his celebration as last monday on raw the ring
35:00general made his way to the ring to restart his victory lap
35:07you might want to leave over here
35:15you might want to leave over here
35:19aleen
35:26aleen
35:30aleen
35:40aleen
35:42aleen
36:16You really shouldn't be mad at me.
36:29But you should be mad at the guy that tapped out like a little.
36:46You should be mad at me.
37:16It seems that no words are needed for CM Punk to showcase his disdain for the ring General
37:42Gunter.
37:42However, the best in the world needs to sharpen his focus for his current targets, The Vision,
37:49as Punk and Rey Mysterio take on Bronson Reed and Austin Theory in our main event.
37:54Next.
37:54It is The Vision's Logan Paul against Rey Mysterio.
38:06Got Rey Mysterio coming for you.
38:08And I bet the Masked Man shows up as well, huh?
38:11The Masked Hoodied Mystery Man shows up once again escaping.
38:19I mean, who is it?
38:20I don't know.
38:22At this point, I'll take the help.
38:23Logan Paul is out here looking to solve his, quote, Rey Mysterio problem.
38:32Oh, instead, Rey counters.
38:35Oh, no.
38:36Big Bronson Reed and Braun break him.
38:39Oh, they see a Punk!
38:40Oh, the Brass Knuckles.
38:44Referee has no idea.
38:47Oh, Rey trips him up!
38:496-1-9!
38:52Rey's got the Brass Knuckles in hand.
38:55Whoa!
38:56The Masked Man is back for a stop!
38:59Who the hell is this guy?
39:00And now, Logan Paul!
39:03Super Star Splash!
39:12Here comes Punk!
39:22That's Austin Theory!
39:25What the hell?
39:26What the hell are you doing?
39:51I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask.
39:56I wanted everybody to feel my actions before they saw my face.
40:02And I've made some bad decisions.
40:05I got comfortable.
40:07I got injured.
40:08But then I saw the vision.
40:11You didn't wait for anything.
40:13You took.
40:14And that's me now.
40:16I take.
40:19Really?
40:20Really.
40:22You take?
40:24Yeah.
40:24And I know the vision's got a match tonight.
40:27And I'd love to take that opportunity.
40:30And help out.
40:32Really?
40:34Really.
40:38Interesting.
40:41Very interesting.
40:42Intrigued is the best way to describe Paul Heyman after speaking with Austin Theory and
40:50the Oracle is quick to put Theory's words to the test.
40:54While it might have taken some convincing from Paul to Brigger and Reed to allow Theory
40:59to sit with them, after a while, the pair agreed, resulting with Bronson stepping up to
41:05team up with Theory in a tag team match against CM Punk and Rey Mysterio.
41:09It seems like it's just waking Bronson and Reed up.
41:20Reed now sending Puck into the corner.
41:24Puck got the boot up just in time.
41:26Now the champ making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
41:30Puck top rope.
41:31Oh, and that flying clothesline by Punk takes Reed off his feet.
41:37Puck now into the cover.
41:38Is it enough to put Reed away?
41:40And a kick out of two by Reed.
41:42Take another look at this.
41:47CM Punk soaring through the sky with a clothesline right on the money.
41:51Takes down Ozzilla.
41:53And understandably, Punk wanted to knock Theory off to neutralize the threat.
41:57But that momentary hesitation may have been the only thing that let Bronson Reed kick out.
42:03And now Mysterio.
42:04Uh-oh.
42:05And Bronson Reed tied up.
42:09Rey Mysterio sends Reed into position.
42:14Tag made.
42:15Theory's legal.
42:15Mysterio didn't see it.
42:16You're right.
42:17Now he does.
42:17Oh, my God.
42:18What a collision.
42:22The impact by Theory.
42:23What a wise move by Theory to make the tag.
42:25Saving Reed there.
42:27Great situational awareness by Austin Theory.
42:33Mysterio has a theory into the second rope.
42:37Rey Mysterio with a 6-1-9.
42:40Gonna drop the dime.
42:42Cover.
42:44Bronson Reed pulling Mysterio off the top.
42:47Cover.
42:51Ozzilla in the right place at the right time.
42:54Just flattened the Hall of Famer.
42:58And now here comes CM Punk.
43:01Driving Bronson Reed right into our announce table.
43:04And now the fight right here in front of us.
43:09Both men in the Time Keepers area.
43:13Austin Theory now all on his own inside the ring.
43:16And Rey slowly making his way back into the square circle.
43:21Rey and Theory are legal.
43:27Mysterio stops Theory for the moment.
43:29Another right hand connects.
43:31Austin Theory on spaghetti legs.
43:35Rey gonna go up top.
43:37Austin Theory.
43:38Austin Theory.
43:39Austin Theory.
43:42Again, great awareness by Austin Theory.
43:47Witness.
43:49Oh!
43:50Stomp!
43:51A stomp!
43:52A stomp by Theory!
43:53A cover on Rey!
43:55And a win by The Vision!
43:59And now CM Punk back into the mix.
44:01But the stomp delivered by Austin Theory.
44:05I can't say for certain.
44:06Only Paul Heyman knows.
44:08But I'd say Austin Theory nailed his audition.
44:16Well, I was gonna ask you the question.
44:18Did Austin Theory prove his worth tonight?
44:21Oh, look out!
44:22And brought Brinker now!
44:24Brinker going after CM Punk!
44:26These two meet in two weeks for the world title.
44:29And now Austin Theory runs into a right hand.
44:33CM Punk on fire right now.
44:35Swinging at anything that moves.
44:37Look out, Punk!
44:38Spare!
44:40And if Broadbreaker hits that two weeks from tonight,
44:44the Broadbreaker era will be here.
44:49If that sphere is a premonition into CM Punk's future on January 5th,
44:54then the best in the world will need to rethink his strategy
44:57if he wishes to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
45:00against The Vision's Mad Dog.
45:03With neither Stephanie Vaquer, Nikki Bella, nor Raquel Rodriguez
45:07satisfied with the outcome of the last championship match,
45:10the best way forward is a triple threat
45:13between Vaquer, Bella, and Rodriguez
45:15to discover who is truly the Women's World Champion.
45:20Jimmy and Jey Uso look to quickly climb back
45:23to the top of the tag team mountain
45:24by taking on AJ Styles in Dragon League.
45:27For the championship gold this Monday on Raw.
45:32Oh, the action is packed in the upcoming weeks
45:35with more than five golden rings up for grabs,
45:39but we got to put one foot in front of the other
45:42if we want to discover which superstars will earn gold or coal.
45:47So while we wait for the jingle of the starting bell,
45:50I'm Megan Morant, and I'll be right here next time
45:53to recap the cause and effect of everything WWE
45:58this week in WWE.
