00:00:00a little nervous but you did great out there and i want you to know we all got your back
00:00:08i got your back i got your back yes sir hey i have an idea take him out to the ring
00:00:16out to the ring now you you take him okay you go with okay okay yeah eliminate the
00:00:22mysterious okay quality time together great bond let's go it's bonding let's go easy
00:00:27go get him go show him what you got oh boys
00:00:31so logan's got his back
00:00:36the following contest is
00:00:58wwe hall of famer ray mysterio remember it was just a few weeks ago mysterio was in the midst of fighting off logan paul when the masked mystery man stopped him now ray gets awesome
00:01:12terry who is under that mask one-on-one ray against the newest member of the vision next
00:01:30and you need all the help you can get when you're taking on the living legend himself the diminutive but brilliant ray mysterio
00:01:48who the hell gets in the hall of fame before they've even retired joe test not many he is one of one he is just extraordinarily special
00:02:02i suppose we could throw nikki bella in there too who we saw earlier however she kind of retired and then came out of retirement so i think that's not quite the same
00:02:20of course nikki was part of our women's world championship triple threat match earlier tonight when stephanie becare was able to retain what a way to start raw off that was a major major accomplishment again for stephanie becare in a banger of a match but this man ray mysterio knows a thing or two about banger matches
00:02:42about banger matches i'm sure he saved something pretty special for austin theory tonight what a great reception
00:02:52for one of the greatest careers you will ever see
00:02:57kia center here in orlando sold out 13 611 on the final raw of 2025
00:03:06a week away from the one-year anniversary show here on netflix it'll be in brooklyn and it is an
00:03:18absolutely stellar card headlined by the world heavyweight championship between cm punk
00:03:24and ron draker speaking of the vision what a year it has been here on netflix so many epic
00:03:32moments we've witnessed we might top them all with that show next week the one year anniversary
00:03:39gold on the line stacked card and it just gets more and more exciting by the minute
00:03:56the seating chart
00:03:57it's not etiquette it's positioning they came for a challenge i came to remind them that this game
00:04:11starts and ends with the queen one of the best female performers of all time
00:04:20long slim the queen wrestlemania vegas
00:04:39hey all the wwe podcast guests week after week are sensational but we want to draw
00:04:44extra attention to cody rhodes and what do you want to talk about podcast because
00:04:48this is special john cena has given simply this interview since his final match and it is so
00:04:55worthy of your attention that is available now wwe podcast john cena and cody rose after what went down
00:05:03in washington dc
00:05:08wade each of ray mysterio's last two matches have ended in a loss at the hands of austin theory right
00:05:16you go back to december 15th against logan paul awesome theory interferes and then december 22nd
00:05:22in the tag team match when theory pinned mysterio to get the win in that tag team match when he was
00:05:27who's teamed up with cm punk
00:05:36and his opponent from atlanta junca
00:06:01waiting for 220 pounds representing the vision austin theory well that ring entrance
00:06:15just screams of what he's been saying now i take now wade austin theory passed his
00:06:22somewhat audition for the vision right a week ago he's one of them now this is a different version
00:06:29of austin theory from masked man to this level of focus and intensity as part of the vision
00:06:37new music new mindset new austin theory a complete shift in the personality of austin theory
00:06:48this is a guy who for years has been talked about as having all the promise and potential in the
00:06:54world but you always sense there was a little something missing but now with the guidance
00:07:00of paul heyman the backup of the vision one of who of course includes logan paul and now this cutthroat
00:07:08take now mindset of austin theory the sky really is the limit unlike everything i'm seeing from austin
00:07:17theory look at that scowl as he's opposite the hall of famer theory's first official match as part of
00:07:27the vision there was a conversation that we heard in the locker room with paul heyman discussing hey
00:07:36you're part of this vision you're never alone you're always supported and logan paul stepped forward said
00:07:42i'd be happy to have his back oh what a slam right into that corner i mean the velocity and that arc
00:07:48of his back as he hit the turnbuckle ray mysterio took some damage there now the backbreaker and theory
00:07:54delivering more and more against mysterio as ray able to break free raise running struggling in the
00:08:00early going since the power of austin theory of course added to by that movement of theory that has done the
00:08:06damage that is exactly why ray musterio oh man stopped me in my tracks and completely stopped ray
00:08:14mysterio in his tracks too just as he delivers the rana and is seeking some momentum the intensity and
00:08:24power of theory is delivered this is it it's a completely different motivation for austin theory at
00:08:32this point and you know when you're part of the vision you have to continually deliver the guts and
00:08:39austin theory in the early going certainly doing that and once again turning it around on ray mysterio
00:08:45tripping him up and driving him right into that corner and now ray's got him in position yeah top
00:08:51man to outmaneuver watch out austin master the 619 on theory rolls out of the way and gets out onto the
00:08:57floor two men completely trying to outmaneuver one another but that power game being a big equalizer
00:09:07and then onto the apron once again attacking that spine of ray mysterio who is in big trouble at the
00:09:15hands of the hands of austin theory
00:09:27wade that impact against the post the head of ray mysterio into the post and then the spine right onto
00:09:33the apron that is concerning just a devastating flurry of moves from austin theory and there's no
00:09:40let up unlike the austin theory of old the one we all remember he would have been gloating he would
00:09:46have been posing he would have been smug mean mugging at the camera yes this is an austin theory who is
00:09:52all business right now and so much more devastating for it get the sense that he wants to put it away
00:09:59right here you get the sense that he's really reflected on things the time away
00:10:03came back as the mystery masked man and survivor series impacted the ends of war games
00:10:13and then earned the trust of the vision here's what i like about theory this guy's achieved some
00:10:18massive things in his career former mr money in the bank former united states champion beat john
00:10:23cena at wrestlemania yes but for austin theory where he sees his career that was simply not enough he
00:10:30expects more he expects totally look at right look at right right here the top of the industry and
00:10:37one way to go about that is to start putting away people as established as important as good as ray
00:10:45mysterio and right now this has been 90 percent austin theory and ray cannot get a foothold in this match
00:10:52whatsoever i'll tell you right now joe test paul heyman does not make mistakes does he when he lets
00:11:03someone in the fold it's because he knows they are damn good and they can deliver the goods yeah now
00:11:08you're seeing a more fully formed vision listen to logan paul logan paul asking are we watching
00:11:15his boy we certainly are the whole world is watching austin theory now
00:11:28i'll tell you right now someone as dominant as this in a match against ray mysterio would get pretty
00:11:32excited normally pretty pleased with yourself wow i'm doing real well against this absolute legend
00:11:40no hint of a smile on the face of austin theory there will not be a smile perhaps
00:11:46until he gets a dub here
00:12:02there's logan paul out there supporting austin theory now officially part of the visions in control
00:12:29against ray mysterio remember cm punk was backstage near the locker room offering help to ray tonight
00:12:35ray said he could handle it he's got connections too and as you can see what he doesn't have is any
00:12:40momentum against austin theory and what he doesn't have is barely any offense against austin theory in
00:12:46this entire match and there's been absolutely no letter from theory but massively over committing on that
00:12:53charge and ray with his incredible movement just about getting out of the way and maybe
00:12:59a chance to turn a tie with that west coast park and here it is from the hall of famer ray mysterio
00:13:07simply unmatched when it comes to movement the ageless hall of famer
00:13:13mysterio a week ago was in the tag team match with cm punk when fury knocked him off
00:13:20the top turnbuckle and then connected with the stop to pick up that victory and now singles action
00:13:26has him oh had him right where he wanted him and now theory looking for the win right here
00:13:31and ray able to get that shoulder up and i was just gonna say austin theory when he was in control
00:13:36that's one thing we learned a lot about theory there but when you are under the attack deep into a match
00:13:43how well can you bounce back well austin theory just answered that question too this guy's looking like
00:13:48the complete package here he is and a fully completed vision with now austin theory added
00:13:55into the mix it's incredible what has been put together
00:14:01just continuing to do damage to that lower back weight and it has been the spine that has really
00:14:06been the target it's been a full body workout for ray mysterio but that lower back
00:14:11that lower back oh oh god look at ray always finding a way
00:14:19ray mysterio is one of one who could pull out something like this after the kind of beating
00:14:24he's taken that is why the career has been so legendary and will never be matched
00:14:32ddt you can see the effect it's had on theory
00:14:34i'm just tying theory up in knots here oh could this be the 619 opportunity
00:14:42is delivered on oh god this is he's got him oh logan paul oh logan paul
00:14:51and the bell rings as logan paul interferes with the match just when mysterio
00:14:59had it in place it was never about the match joe test this was a bonding
00:15:03session come on now as paul heyman put it a chance to grow those bonds with the newest member
00:15:10this is why punk said whoa no oh
00:15:16he's back
00:15:20penta's back well this is exactly why ray mysterio said i got some connections don't worry punk
00:15:28penta who we haven't seen since he got injured in the last time is now tournament he needed to
00:15:35stick up for his gun buddy just in the nick of time oh all the reports of the shoulder injury
00:15:41bell did you see that i did logan paul how about a 619 for you
00:15:50penta clears them oh it is so good to have penta back here on raw
00:15:58well a huge shock to the vision a message attempted to be sent to ray mysterio in physical
00:16:19fashion but for ray's sake thank goodness for the return of the incredible penta
00:16:28asuka you are nothing but delusional you are the one that betrayed io you are the one that broke my
00:16:42face you are the one that misted us and you're the one that continuously hides behind kairi to attack us
00:16:49from behind you say that you betrayed your family and you say that i disrespected you but really
00:16:59you are the one who is disrespectful you may have beaten me last week but that is the first
00:17:06and the last time because asuka next week i'm going to break you
00:17:14kairi you are lost it is too late for you you have chosen the wrong path
00:17:23asuka i am stronger than you i am stronger than you
00:17:27anata watashi no senpai datta deo jidai wa kawatta
00:17:31after no deshi was shishou koi tanda yo next week we will teach you both a wrestle in respect
00:17:41when we become the new tag team champions
00:17:51what a main event set to come our way as good as the tag team division can possibly produce
00:17:57aj styles dragonly their final preparations within the tag team championships against the usos
00:18:11we are counting down the minutes to tonight's highly anticipated main event where the world tag team
00:18:19titles will be on the line now
00:18:27that's that's all you got baron you're not you're not excited orlando are you excited for the main event
00:18:33tonight okay who do you think is gonna win is it gonna be the usos
00:18:40it's gonna be dragon lee and aj stars who do we think's gonna win who who who nobody
00:18:53there will only be losers everyone will have lost there will only be losers there will be no winners
00:18:58and y'all are used to being losers man y'all are from orlando for christ's sake y'all are used to
00:19:02being losers but not us not us nah nah nah
00:19:10we told you that once aj styles and dragonly won those titles the entire tag team division died on the
00:19:18spots in cold blood but if the usos win those titles here tonight then that means that the tag team titles
00:19:27along with the tag team division will have all gone straight to hell
00:19:34and this is the part where we're supposed to say that we'll be waiting in the wings for whoever
00:19:40comes out on top tonight when in actuality if you become tag team champion you should want to test
00:19:46your skills against the new day because we are the most decorated tag team in wwe
00:19:52so regardless if you love us or if you hate us that means that we are objectively the greatest tag team
00:20:02of all time
00:20:07and you idiots should be thankful for that you should thank god for that
00:20:14you should get down on your knees raise your hands to the sky and scream out in unison thank
00:20:25god

00:21:41in natalia's dungeon by immediately grabbing an ankle lock leaving the former champ lynch screaming
00:21:49in agony maxine continuing to grow develop and impress and look damn good with the gold while she's doing
00:21:57it yeah becky was making every excuse to say she literally didn't tap out to escape an exit when she
00:22:02did as that complaint filled rant from becky was answered with an ankle lock did you guys have a
00:22:08good holiday good holiday me too but mine was because of every single one of you guys

00:22:49but what she can't deny is that last week when i got a hold of her ankle she had no choice but to
00:22:56tap out because i wasn't letting go just like i'm not letting go of this title and next week on january
00:23:015th i will stop at nothing to remain your time to set the record straight enough lies from joe 10 what lies

00:32:43That was really good.
00:32:44That was good.
00:32:45Oh, but that was better.
00:32:48That's a new one.
00:32:48Oh, come on now.
00:32:49The dice.
00:32:50Did you just see that from Big Jim?
00:32:52I think we're too uncool to understand.
00:32:54No, it actually was like we were throwing dice.
00:32:57I think that's what it was, yeah.
00:32:58Yeah, I like that.
00:32:59The Usos are going to be thrilled when Corey is back at the desk.
00:33:11Finally, someone with a bit of rhythm.
00:33:13Was that a tiny shot at...
00:33:16Well, Cole certainly did.
00:33:17He's worse than us, too.
00:33:18Yeah, but he puts forth amazing effort.
00:33:20He does put the effort.
00:33:21I will credit him with that.
00:33:22He tries.
00:33:24And the world loves to try.
00:33:25I'll tell you what, Joe.
00:33:45You had...
00:33:47Jey Uso in the locker room early.
00:33:50It looked like he was doubting his confidence a little bit.
00:33:52A little down on himself.
00:33:54This kind of reaction from a sold-out audience like that
00:33:58cannot fail to lift you back up to cloud nine.
00:34:03This entrance is incredible.
00:34:05Completely unmatched in history.
00:34:17Oh, yeah.
00:34:43Oh, yeah.
00:34:44Why not?
00:34:47Day one, it's just me, ooh.
00:34:50Okay.
00:34:51Day one, it's just like a phone lock.
00:34:54Like a damn right deal.
00:34:56Hey, what's on me now, Ruse?
00:35:00Hey, I'm going to get them all.
00:35:02I'm going to get them all, Ruse.
00:35:04Yeah.
00:35:05Ha, ha.
00:35:07I'm going to get them.
00:35:09I'm going to get them.
00:35:12I'm going to get them.
00:35:14Yeah.
00:35:15Yeah, yeah.
00:35:16It's going to be now, Ruse.
00:35:18It's going to be.
00:35:19Hey, hey.
00:35:20Hey, hey.
00:35:20Hey, who's going to get them now in your city?
00:35:25Oh, Ruse.
00:35:26It's just me.
00:35:27Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:35:47And 13,611 lucky ones filling this sold-out Kia Center with the Usos, who a few weeks ago stepped in between the New Day and the World Champs and declared they're back, full-time tag team.
00:36:03The single success was worth it, but this is home.
00:36:05This is what they need now and again.
00:36:08This is what they need now and again.
00:36:08And I don't know.
00:36:17The Seto IV
00:36:30On October 20th, this division, this tag team division got better.
00:36:57Not just because AJ Styles there and Dragan Lee behind him became the champs, but the approach way that they've taken.
00:37:05Fighting, active, growing the division, bringing out the best in everybody from successful rematches to always rewarding, worthy challenges.
00:37:15And that is the case again tonight.
00:37:19Yeah, there's a couple of ways you can look at a championship reign.
00:37:22Either you can take the approach of I'm going to avoid defending this at all costs until I have to in order to build a long lasting reign.
00:37:31Or you can take the alternative approach, be fighting champs and create one of the most memorable reigns in recent memory.
00:37:39And AJ and Dragan Lee took the latter approach, putting on numerous bangers against the likes of New Day, War Raiders, Javon Evans and Leon Slater.
00:37:49And tonight, of course, against the greatest tag team in history, the Usos.
00:37:54What a great way to say goodbye to 2025.
00:37:58WWE Tag Team Championship match.
00:38:00Here's Alicia Taylor.
00:38:01Let's do this.
00:38:04The following contest is kicked up for one call.
00:38:09And it's for the World Tag Team Championship.
00:38:19Introducing first the challengers.
00:38:22At a combined weight of 493 pounds, Jimmy and May Nevence, the Usos.
00:38:40And their opponents, at a combined weight of 385 pounds, they are the World Tag Team Champions.
00:38:51And their opponents, Dragon Lee, and the phenomenal H.J. Stiles.
00:39:07Fourth defense of the titles for Stiles and Lee.
00:39:1470 days as champions.
00:39:17The World Tag Team Championship match.
00:39:23The Usos and Stiles and Lee.
00:39:28Yeah, and the Usos, of course, officially reunited several weeks ago.
00:39:32But this was not a freebie championship match.
00:39:35They effectively beat fellow GOAT conversation tag team, The New Day, a couple of weeks back to earn this opportunity.
00:39:44What an opportunity it is to make history once again.
00:39:47Wade, I'm very curious as to what you think here because Jey Uso is going to start this championship match.
00:39:54And earlier tonight, there was a very revealing glimpse as to the pressure that Jey is feeling.
00:40:02And it was big brother Jimmy who sort of righted him and helped him find himself a little bit.
00:40:07Do you agree with this strategy to send him out into the pressure cooker early on?
00:40:12Yeah, I actually do.
00:40:13It's kind of a way of getting mentally warmed up more than anything else.
00:40:18Get in there.
00:40:20Feel a couple of shots.
00:40:21I was someone personally in my own career.
00:40:23I was a slow start.
00:40:24I needed to be punched in the face before the nerves went away.
00:40:27And it feels like Jey Uso, by his own admission, is in a bad spot right now.
00:40:32He's in a confidence crisis.
00:40:35Get in there and remember why you're so damn good in the first place.
00:40:39Remember why you won the Royal Rumble this year.
00:40:41Remember why you won the World Heavyweight Championship this year.
00:40:45You have to think about everything.
00:40:48Boom!
00:40:49The rollercoaster ride of Jey Uso this year.
00:40:51When you reflect on it, go all the way back to Royal Rumble, to Mania and Gunther,
00:40:55to what we saw throughout the summer months in the singles career.
00:40:58And then the recent frustration and the reuniting as a full-time tag team with brother Jimmy
00:41:04as AJ Styles looks to take control early here in this title defense.
00:41:09Well, Jey Uso needed waking up.
00:41:11That drop kick right to the kisser will absolutely do it.
00:41:14It might be about to get worse before it gets better for Jey.
00:41:17The teamwork with Dragon Lee, and Big Jim enters the three, and he's 10-2 immediately.
00:41:23So right now, AJ and Dragon Lee built tag chemistry at the highest level,
00:41:28faster than any duo I have seen in history.
00:41:32Day one, they were a top team together, and you can see it in the early goings here.
00:41:37You can see some of them with Jimmy, too, the way that rope hit him.
00:41:42Very good start for AJ Styles and Dragon Lee,
00:41:45looking to defend the World Tag Team Championships.
00:41:48First time these teams have gone head-to-head.
00:41:55That might have been counterproductive to Jey Uso,
00:41:59contrary to what I was saying earlier,
00:42:01because that was not a great start for the Usos.
00:42:05Apparently caught a little cold here by the tag champs,
00:42:07and regrouping on the outside.
00:42:10That's the risk you take, right?
00:42:12It's absolutely a big risk,
00:42:13and when you're in there with the caliber of an AJ Styles and a Dragon Lee,
00:42:17it's kind of something you semi-expect,
00:42:20and you're going to have to ride your way through it.
00:42:21It doesn't help that Big Jim caught a nasty blow from that bottom rope
00:42:25that you pointed out, Joe Tess,
00:42:27and is really shaking off some cobwebs right now on the outside,
00:42:30and Jey is going to have to carry the load for a while.
00:42:33And right hand's driven down by Dragon Lee.
00:42:36You saw it hit him so hard,
00:42:37he actually looked at his knuckles after throwing that punch.
00:42:45Delivering strike after strike against main event Jey Uso.
00:42:55Mind game there from Dragon Lee.
00:42:57Not something you see too often from him using Yeet
00:43:00to destroy the confidence of Jey Uso a little further.
00:43:05By the way, this crowd here,
00:43:07sellout here at the Kia Center.
00:43:0958th sellout, sold-out crowd of the year 2025.
00:43:14What a reception they had for the Usos.
00:43:17It's been a methodical start now from AJ and Dragon Lee.
00:43:29They've isolated one of the Usos in the early goings here,
00:43:32and, oh, that changes things, though.
00:43:34A fresh Big Jim in there.
00:43:37And he's ready to deliver
00:43:38as he comes right over the top
00:43:41with that right forearm goes right into the cover.
00:43:44Jim ain't wasting any time here.
00:43:45He got that shot early on from his opponents here,
00:43:49and this is a very aggressive Big Jim.
00:43:53Watch this, Jey.
00:43:54Follow in my footsteps.
00:43:56Listen to your older brother.
00:44:02Similar to the intensity we heard
00:44:04back in the locker room from Big Jim
00:44:07when he was looking to pump up Jey Uso.
00:44:09What is this?
00:44:11I'm on him.
00:44:12This is how we win, Usos.
00:44:14This is how we win.
00:44:15Keep up grip.
00:44:18No more.
00:44:19No more.
00:44:19Here he is, buddy.
00:44:24Come on, right there.
00:44:26Come on.
00:44:28Come on.
00:44:28Come on.
00:44:29Back here in Orlando, massive crowd at the Kia Center, 13,611.
00:44:46A couple weeks ago on Raw, we saw the Usos defeat the New Day.
00:44:49They put themselves in position for the stated goal, and that is to regain gold.
00:44:54Eight times Jimmy and Jay have been tag team champions.
00:44:59Oh, the stomp from Dragon Lee.
00:45:03Yeah, it was a shaky start for the Usos in this one.
00:45:05Jay Uso not necessarily at his best in the early goings.
00:45:09It's been a hyper-aggressive Big Jim in there ever since.
00:45:13Although Dragon Lee's fire now taking control of this match.
00:45:17Oh, looking to retain right here, middle of the ring.
00:45:19Getting that right shoulder up is Big Jim.
00:45:21This shows you part of why Dragon Lee and AJ Styles have been so dangerous.
00:45:25Just saw several minutes of dominance from Big Jim.
00:45:28Just turned around in the blink of an eye from these two supreme movers, AJ and Dragon Lee.
00:45:36The future Hall of Famer AJ Styles in there now.
00:45:38You mentioned it, the instant connection he found with Dragon Lee.
00:45:45Shortcutting themselves to the very top of the tag division.
00:45:48And they've held that position ever since.
00:45:50But this might be the biggest test of them all.
00:45:53Delivering that elbow.
00:45:54Oh!
00:45:56Well, cheap shot there from Jay Uso behind the referee's back.
00:46:00Remember the confidence boost that Jay was given from Big Jim earlier tonight about finding himself.
00:46:10Reminding him who he is and who they are.
00:46:13And taking back what's theirs.
00:46:16That's the kind of move where you go out and you take what you feel is yours.
00:46:19Hey, when Gold is on the line by Hook or by Krook, make no mistake.
00:46:24The people love the Usos these days.
00:46:27But there's those hard-edged assassins living inside them.
00:46:31Who once upon a time ran this industry with the bloodline.
00:46:34You don't forget those tricks.
00:46:36And you don't forget how effective they can be.
00:46:38Especially when you need a little leg up in a match like this.
00:46:45Seems to be Big Jim who's telling Jay, hey, we need to be aggressive here.
00:46:49Remember who we are.
00:46:50That has been the message.
00:46:52Hey, Jay, out!
00:46:59Remember, too, there's been a lot made of Jay Uso on this spiral.
00:47:03Big Jim is someone who's used to being clad in tag gold.
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07Career long.
00:47:08It's been a long time since Big Jim has held gold.
00:47:11It's been a long time since Big Jim's been at the top of the industry.
00:47:15And he is desperate to reclaim what he sees as rightfully his.
00:47:19Of course, they have not held the tag team championships together since April of 2023.
00:47:25And they've lost the undisputed tag team titles to Sami and KO.
00:47:29WrestleMania 39, that thriller that ended the historic reign.
00:47:33And a 622-day reign holding gold.
00:47:37Two and a half years without tag gold for the Uso's feels like an entire lifetime.
00:47:43Big Jim delivering the big kick.
00:47:45And now here comes Jay.
00:47:47Now the Uso's really hitting that rhythm of old.
00:47:51Oh, Dragon Lee once again with that superior moment.
00:47:54Oh, Dragon Lee to hold on.
00:47:58But just getting that shoulder up was Jay.
00:48:01Yeah, you get a little glimpse of exactly the way Rey Mysterio once upon a time called Dragon Lee the future of Lucha Libre.
00:48:10Well, this man can do it all.
00:48:12The movement, the power on the devastating aerial strikes.
00:48:16One of which may surely be inco-
00:48:19Oh!
00:48:19Tripped up like Jimmy!
00:48:21Once again behind the referees back there.
00:48:23Oh, and right into the steel steps!
00:48:25Right into that ribcage, that gut.
00:48:28Oh, man.
00:48:29Oh, they're coming our way.
00:48:31This is a whatever-it's-going-to-take version of Jimmy and Jay tonight.
00:48:37Well, this is Jim coming out.
00:48:38Oh, off the steps comes Styles!
00:48:40What a fight.
00:48:43Phenomenal form.
00:48:44Wait, oh, this one's breaking down in a big, big way.
00:48:47Absolute bedlam at ringside here.
00:48:50What a mess!
00:48:51Man, you are!
00:48:52I fly in and all over our desk.
00:48:57Gold is on the line.
00:48:59Tag Team Championship match.
00:49:03They're all laid out.
00:49:10Things broke loose out on the floor, over our announced desk, into the steel steps.
00:49:18That is what is on the line.
00:49:20WWE Tag Team Championship match here.
00:49:23As AJ Styles and Dragon Lee looking to defend against the Usos.
00:49:28Eight times the Usos have been World Champions as a tag team.
00:49:32Now Jimmy and Jay, Dragon Lee back in the center of the ring.
00:49:48You see how cutthroat the Usos are when they taste tag gold.
00:49:54Just three seconds or a tap out away from climbing back to the very top of this industry.
00:50:02All that doubt that we saw bubbling up in Jey Uso earlier tonight.
00:50:11It has seemingly disappeared with this really focused and intense attacking version of the Usos.
00:50:20Big Jim who seems to have got into the head of Jey Uso.
00:50:23Remember who we are.
00:50:24Remember how vicious we used to be.
00:50:27We need to beat those guys tonight if we want to leave with the gold.
00:50:32Let's go, hey, back up.
00:50:37One, two, three.
00:50:42You see, continually behind the referee's back.
00:50:45Jey Uso and Big Jim taking shots at Dragon Lee.
00:50:49And now the frustration building on the outside with AJ Styles.
00:50:53I don't know if anybody was expecting quite this side of the Usos tonight.
00:51:00Least of all their opponents.
00:51:02And as for now, Dragon Lee does not seem to have an answer.
00:51:05Let's go, let's go.
00:51:06Let's go!
00:51:08Let's go!
00:51:13Let's go!
00:51:27Let's go!
00:51:29the usos looking to take control here eight times they have been world tag team champions
00:51:46aj styles and dragon lee they have been fighting champions since taking the titles back in october
00:51:53but the usos are reunited they have paired up with intense focus the gold that is on the line
00:52:00that is desired and a real edge to jimmy and jay here tonight wade jimmy and jay trying to pull
00:52:06themselves out of a something of a career funk by their standards and they're doing it by taking a
00:52:11rather machiavellian approach to this match the end it justifies the means they've cut corners
00:52:18several times behind the rest back they have and it will be worth it if they leave tonight with the
00:52:23gold two and a half plus years without gold for the usos they went on the path of singles success of
00:52:31course such a drama filled year for jay uso himself and then earlier tonight we told you that glimpse
00:52:38we got into the mindset of feeling the extreme pressure and it was this man big jim his brother
00:52:44who snapped him out of it who said we've got a goal we've got to take what's ours
00:52:48oh this is not a good position now for big jim slicked and incredibly massive double stomp
00:52:56by dragon lee just when things were starting to look pretty bleak for dragon lee
00:53:02he pulls out that shocker one opportunity he strikes but how badly does dragon lee need this tag
00:53:11to a fresh aj styles he's in the center of the ring trying to navigate the position just to find
00:53:18aj styles as jimmy's trying to crawl back himself to main event jay and here they come gold on the
00:53:27line striking combination by the phenomenal one delivers that big right hand well a point of aggression
00:53:36here from aj who's watched from the outside as his tag partner dragon lee has received a mugging from
00:53:43the usos oh wow aj styles total momentum this to retain the gold right here right now
00:53:50just getting that right shoulder up what a game-changing moment that tag to the phenomenal aj
00:53:57styles really was aj of course has mentioned time and again he is going to be retiring at some point in
00:54:0326 this is a win now era for aj who wants to retire clad in gold and he might get one step closer to
00:54:12that here but instead look at jay powering up aj styles getting free oh big super kick in the corner
00:54:20there and now here's jay there's the spear and here comes big jim
00:54:30the usos of old just did everything right cleaning house before drilling the spear from jay the click tag like clockwork
00:54:53to big jim the splash no it's game over right joe has to be it's two two point nine and nine that is why aj
00:55:03styles is phenomenal his eyes told you everything you need to know jimmy and jay delivered all the weaponry
00:55:14and still aj styles survived it you can see big jim reaching for his ribs there as he comes over you saw
00:55:24the drop in the spirits of jay uso have our powers wading a little pep talk in the corner there on that tag
00:55:30from brother jimmy and it took a beat too long because back in the fight now is dragon lee
00:55:37you can see that was exactly where the usos were looking for that double splash perhaps
00:55:42but things have changed in a big way since dragon league dragon lee's rubbing it oh my
00:55:48he just launched himself all the way over our desk and took out big jim an absolute kamikaze dive there
00:55:59from dragon lee who may have maimed himself in the process big jim looks absolutely wasted here on our
00:56:06announced desk oh there's a roll of attempt look at this to retain jay survives it did you see the
00:56:13distance that was covered by lee meanwhile back in the center of the ring back and forth they go
00:56:19styles and main event jay oh styles clash being lined up and he hits it he hits it he hits it
00:56:28jay survives this is outrageous both teams and noah lyle's is losing his mind at ringside too but both
00:56:40teams dropping the heaviest of artillery absolute psycho behavior there from dragon lee devastating
00:56:48effectiveness but this was the moment surely the jumps were going to retain jay uso dig about as deep as
00:56:58he's ever digged in his career to kick out why styles is in disbelief in absolute disbelief the
00:57:05paylay kick the styles clash and still they fight on in front of this massive crowd for the world tag team
00:57:14championship both teams have had their moments of despair in this one but from despair to where
