00:00is to make history once again wait i'm very curious as to what you think here because
00:06jay usso is going to start this championship match and earlier tonight there was a very
00:12revealing glimpse as to the pressure that jay is feeling and it was big brother jimmy who sort of
00:19righted him helped him find himself a little bit do you agree with this strategy to send him out
00:25to the pressure cooker early on yeah i actually do it's um kind of a way of getting mentally warmed
00:31up more than anything else get in there feel a couple of shots i was someone personally in my
00:37own career i was a slow start i needed to be punched in the face before the nerves went away
00:42and it feels like jay usso by his own admission is in a bad spot right now he's in a confidence
00:48crisis get in there and remember why you're so damn good in the first place remember why you
00:54won the royal rumble this year remember why you won the world heavyweight championship this year
01:00you have to think about everything boom the roller coaster ride of jay usso this year when you reflect
01:07on it go all the way back to royal rumble to mania and gunther to what we saw throughout the summer
01:12months in the singles career and then the recent frustration and the reuniting as a full-time tag team
01:17with brother jimmy as aj styles looks to take control early here in this title defense with jay usso
01:25needed waking up that drop kick right to the kisser will absolutely do it it might be about to get worse
01:30before it gets better for jay the teamwork with dragon lee and big jim enters the fray and he's
01:37tended to immediately to right now aj and dragon lee built tag chemistry at the highest level faster than
01:44any duo i have seen in history day one they were a top team together and you can see it in the early
01:51going to jimmy too the way that rope hit him very good start for aj styles and dragon lee looking to defend
02:01the world tag team championships first time these teams have gone head to head
02:06that might have been counterproductive to jay usso contrary to what i was saying earlier because that
02:16was not a great start for the usos apparently caught a little cold here by the tag champs and
02:22regrouping on the outside that's the risk you take right it's absolutely a big risk and when you're
02:28in there with the caliber of an aj styles and a dragon lee it's kind of something you you semi
02:34expect you're gonna have to ride your way through it doesn't help but big jim caught a nasty blow from
02:39that bottom rope that you pointed out joe tess and is really shaking off some cobwebs right now on the
02:44outside and jay is gonna have to carry the load for a while right hand driven down by dragon lee you saw
02:51hit him so hard he actually looked at his knuckles after throwing that punch
02:55delivering strike after strike against main event jay usso
03:05mind game there from dragon lee not something you see too often from him using yeet
03:14to destroy the confidence of jay usso a little further by the way this crowd here sellout here
03:22at the kia center 58th sellout sold out crowd of the year of 2025 what a reception they had
03:30for the usos
03:32it's been a methodical start now from aj and dragon lee they've isolated one of the usos in the early
03:46goings here and oh that changes things though a fresh big jim in that and he's ready to deliver
03:53as he comes right over the top with that right forearm goes right into the cover jim ain't wasting
03:59any time here got that shot early on from his opponents here and this is a very aggressive
04:05big jim watch this jay following my footsteps listen to your older brother
04:12similar to the intensity we heard back in the locker room from big jim when he was looking to
04:23pump up jay usso
04:24come on
04:26home
04:29the
04:30way
04:32the
04:39Back here in Orlando, massive crowd at the Kia Center, 13,611.
05:00A couple weeks ago on Raw, we saw the Usos defeat the New Day.
05:04They put themselves in position for the stated goal, and that is to regain gold.
05:09Eight times Jimmy and Jay have been tag team champions.
05:15Oh, the stomp from Dragon Lee.
05:18Yeah, it was a shaky start for the Usos in this one.
05:20Jay, Uso not necessarily at his best in the early goings.
05:24It's been a hyper-aggressive Big Jim in there ever since.
05:28Although Dragon Lee's fire now taking control of this match.
05:32Oh, looking to retain right here, middle of the ring.
05:34Getting that right shoulder up is Big Jim.
05:36This shows you part of why Dragon Lee and AJ Styles have been so dangerous.
05:40Just sort of several minutes of dominance from Big Jim just turned around in the blink of an eye from these two supreme movers, AJ and Dragon Lee.
05:50Future Hall of Famer AJ Styles in there now.
05:53You mentioned it, the instant connection he found with Dragon Lee.
05:59Shortcutting themselves to the very top of the tag division, and they've held that position ever since.
06:05But this might be the biggest test of them all.
06:07Delivering that elbow.
06:09Oh!
06:09Little cheap shot there from Jay Uso behind the referee's back.
06:18Remember the confidence boost that Jay was given from Big Jim earlier tonight about finding himself, reminding him who he is and who they are.
06:27And taking back what's theirs.
06:30That's the kind of move where you go out and you take what you feel is yours.
06:34When gold is on the line by hook or by crook, make no mistake, the people love the Usos these days.
06:42But there's those hard-edged assassins living inside them who once upon a time ran this industry with the bloodline.
06:49You don't forget those tricks, and you don't forget how effective they can be.
06:53Especially when you need a little leg up in a match like this.
07:00Seems to be Big Jim who's telling Jay, hey, we need to be aggressive here.
07:03Remember who we are.
07:05That has been the message.
07:07Hey, Jay, out!
07:13Remember, too, there's been a lot made of Jay Uso on this spiral.
07:18Big Jim is someone who's used to being clad in tag gold.
07:21Yes.
07:21Career long.
07:22It's been a long time since Big Jim has held gold.
07:25It's been a long time since Big Jim's been at the top of the industry.
07:29And he is desperate to reclaim what he sees as rightfully his.
07:34Of course, they have not held the tag team championships together since April of 2023.
07:40And they've lost the undisputed tag team titles to Sami and KO.
07:44WrestleMania 39, that thriller that ended the historic reign.
07:48And a 622-day reign holding gold.
07:51Two and a half years without tag gold for the Uso's feels like an entire lifetime.
07:58Big Jim delivering the big kick.
08:00And now here comes Jay.
08:02Now the Uso's really hitting that rhythm of old.
08:05Oh, Dragon Lee once again with that superior moment.
08:09Oh!
08:10Dragon Lee to hold on.
08:13But just getting that shoulder up was Jay.
08:16Yeah, you get a little glimpse of exactly the way Rey Mysterio once upon a time called Dragon Lee the future of Lucha Libre.
08:24Well, this man can do it all.
08:26The movement, the power, and the devastating aerial strikes.
08:31One of which may surely be in control.
08:33Oh!
08:34Tripped up like Jimmy.
08:35Once again behind the referee's back there.
08:38Oh, and right into the steel steps.
08:40Right into that ribcage.
08:42That gut.
08:42Oh, man.
08:43Oh, they're coming our way.
08:44This is a whatever-it's-going-to-take version of Jimmy and Jay tonight.
08:52Well, this is Jim coming out.
08:53Oh, the steps come Stiles!
08:56What a fight.
08:57Phenomenal form.
08:58Wait up.
08:59This one's breaking down in a big, big way.
09:02Absolute bedlam at ringside here.
09:04What a mess.
09:06Man, you are.
09:07I fly in and all over our desk.
09:11Gold is on the line.
09:13Tag Team Championship match.
09:17They're all laid out.
09:27Things broke loose out on the floor.
09:30Over our announced desk.
09:31Into the steel steps.
09:33That is what is on the line.
09:34WWE Tag Team Championship match here.
09:37As AJ Styles and Dragon Lee looking to defend against the Usos.
09:42Usos.
09:43Eight times the Usos have been world champions as a tag team.
09:59Now, Jimmy and Jay, Dragon Lee back in the center of the ring.
10:03You've seen how cutthroat the Usos are when they taste tag gold.
10:08Just three seconds or a tap out away from climbing back to the very top of this industry.
10:13All that doubt that we saw bubbling up in Jey Uso earlier tonight.
10:25It has seemingly disappeared with this really focused and intense attacking version of the Usos.
10:34Big Jim, who seems to have gotten into the head of Jey Uso.
10:38Remember who we are.
10:39Remember how vicious we used to be.
10:41We need to beat those guys tonight if we want to leave with the gold.
10:45Let's come back on TV, y'all.
10:47Oh, my God.
10:50Let's go.
10:51Hey, back up.
10:52One, two, three.
10:56See, continually behind the referee's back.
11:00Jey Uso and Big Jim taking shots at Dragon Lee.
11:04And now the frustration building on the outside with AJ Styles.
11:08I don't know if anybody was expecting quite this side of the Usos tonight.
11:15Least of all their opponents.
11:16And as for now, Dragon Lee does not seem to have an answer.
11:22Let's go.
11:22Let's go.
11:24Let's go.
11:38The Usos looking to take control here.
11:58Eight times they have been World Tag Team Champions.
12:02AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, they have been fighting champions
12:05since taking the titles back in October.
12:08But the Usos are reunited.
12:10They have paired up with intense focus.
12:13The gold that is on the line, that is desired.
12:16And a real edge to Jimmy and Jey here tonight, Wade.
12:19Jimmy and Jey trying to pull themselves out of a
12:21something of a career funk by their standards.
12:25And they're doing it by taking a rather Machiavellian approach to this match.
12:29The end justifies the means.
12:31They've cut corners several times behind the ref's back.
12:35They have.
12:35And it will be worth it if they leave tonight with the gold.
12:39Two and a half plus years without gold for the Usos.
12:43They went on the path of singles success.
12:45Of course, such a drama-filled year for Jey Uso himself.
12:50And then earlier tonight, we told you that glimpse we got into the mindset of feeling the extreme pressure.
12:56And it was this man, Big Jim, his brother, who snapped him out of it.
13:00Who said, we've got a goal.
13:01We've got to take what's ours.
13:04Oh, this is not a good position now.
13:06Oh, this is spot on the rope here for Big Jim.
13:07Slicked and increased.
13:07Double stomp.
13:09Massive double stomp by Dragon Lee.
13:13Just when things were starting to look pretty bleak for Dragon Lee.
13:17He pulls out that shocker.
13:20One opportunity, he strikes.
13:22But how badly does Dragon Lee need this tag to a fresh AJ Styles?
13:28He's in the center of the ring, trying to navigate the position just to find AJ Styles.
13:34As Jimmy's trying to crawl back himself to main event.
13:38Jey, and here they come.
13:41Gold on the line.
13:43Strike in combination by the Phenomenal One.
13:46Delivers that big right hand.
13:50What a point of aggression here from AJ, who's watched from the outside as his tag partner,
13:55Dragon Lee, has received a mugging from the Usos.
13:59Oh, wow.
14:00AJ Styles, total momentum.
14:02This to retain the gold right here, right now.
14:06Just getting that right shoulder up.
14:08What a game-changing moment, that tag to the Phenomenal AJ Styles really was.
14:13AJ, of course, has mentioned time and again.
14:15He is going to be retiring at some point in 26.
14:19This is a win-now era for AJ, who wants to retire clad in gold.
14:25And he might get one step closer to that here.
14:28But instead, look at Jey powering up.
14:31AJ Styles getting free.
14:33Oh, big super kick in the corner there.
14:35And now, here's Jey.
14:37There's the spear.
14:40And here comes Big Jim.
14:46Usos splash.
14:48Could it be?
14:50Oh!
14:51Well, 2.99.
14:56The Usos of old just did everything right.
15:01Cleaning house.
15:02Before drilling the spear from Jey.
15:05The click tag like clockwork.
15:08To Big Jim.
15:09The splash nailed.
15:11It's game over, right, Joe?
15:12It's 1-2.
15:142.99.
15:16That is why AJ Styles is phenomenal.
15:20His eyes told you everything you need to know.
15:25Jimmy and Jey delivered all the weaponry.
15:29And still, AJ Styles survived it.
15:34You can see Big Jim reaching for his ribs there as he comes over.
15:38You saw the drop in the spirits of Jey Uso.
15:41Have our powers wading.
15:43He got a little pep talk in the corner there on that tag.
15:45From brother Jimmy.
15:47And it took a beat too long.
15:49Because back in the fight now is Dragon Lee.
15:53You can see that was exactly where the Usos were looking for that double splash, perhaps.
15:57But things have changed in a big way since Dragon Lee.
16:00Dragon Lee's rubbing it out.
16:02Oh my!
16:04He just launched himself all the way over our desk and took out Big Jim.
16:11An absolute kamikaze dive there from Dragon Lee.
16:14Who may have maimed himself in the process.
16:17Big Jim looks absolutely wasted here on our announce desk.
16:23Oh, there's a roll.
16:23Look at this.
16:24To retain.
16:26Jey survives it.
16:26Did you see the distance that was covered by Lee?
16:30Meanwhile, back in the center of the ring.
16:32Back and forth they go.
16:34Styles and main event Jey.
16:37Oh, Styles clash being lined up.
16:40And he hits it.
16:41He hits it.
16:42He hits it.
16:42One, two, three.
16:45Jey survives!
16:47This is outrageous.
16:49Wow!
16:49Both teams are losing his mind at ringside too.
16:54But both teams dropping the heaviest of artillery.
16:58Absolute psycho behavior now from Dragon Lee.
17:02Devastating effectiveness.
17:04But this was the moment surely the champs were going to retain.
17:09Jey Uso digged about as deep as he's ever digged in his career to kick out wide.
17:15Styles is in disbelief.
17:18In absolute disbelief.
17:20The Pele kick, the Styles clash, and still they fight on in front of this massive crowd for the World Tag Team Championship.
17:29Both teams have had their moments of despair in this one.
17:33But from despair to where, the answer for the tag champs is perhaps incoming now.
17:41And with Big Jim down and out, Jey Uso left.
17:46The combo stomp Styles clash.
17:52Oh!
17:53But Big Jim's back!
17:54The eight-time world champion Usos have no quid in them.
18:01It's beaten to the punch there once again by AJ Styles, who now has the momentum.
18:06Phenomenal forearm is in...
18:10Oh!
18:13Stereo super kick!
18:17They want it!
18:19They get it!
18:21The Usos!
18:23The Usos!
18:24One, two, three...
18:26They did it!
18:27Number nine is mighty fine!
18:30Here are your winners!
18:33And new World Tag Team Champions!
18:41The Usos!
18:442025 goes out with a one-day championship bang on top of the world again, Barron!
18:54One, two, three...
18:56One, two, three...
18:56One, two, three...
18:57One, two, three...
18:58Oh, God!
18:58What a match!
19:00The final five minutes of that one swung all over the place.
19:04But the statistically greatest tag team in history just got statistically even greater with number nine.
19:14Welcome back to the mountaintop, a place the Usos call home.
19:19And that moment right there, considering what we heard earlier tonight.
19:24Big Jim lifting up and bringing out the best from one of the best, his brother Jay.
19:31One, two, three...
19:33Look at this scene to close out the year on Raw!
19:36Well, day one-ish on the final days of the year, and let's show you how they did it.
19:44Well, this was the moment Dragon Lee built up some momentum for that double-team finisher, but it was denied.
19:51And then going in, a stereo super kick to the jaw of the flying phenomenal one takes him out in the process.
20:00Here's one for you, too, Dragon Lee, followed up by a warm D, and the gold comes home to the Usos.
20:18A sold-out Kia Center in Orlando is rocking.
20:24They reunited with purpose.
20:26And for the ninth time in their grand history, the Usos are World Tag Team Champions.
20:47What a way to say goodbye to 2025.
20:53Jay and Jimmy with gold again.
20:56The one-year anniversary show next week, Raw on Netflix.
21:01CM Punk and Braun Breaker.
21:03It's going to be special.
21:05Oh, was this here in Orlando tonight as well.
21:09What a night for the Usos.
21:11Come on, baseball.
21:12Come on.
21:16Come on, come on.
21:19Come on.
21:19Come on.
21:21Charles Kiss.
21:23It's on me now.
21:25We got.
21:26It's on me now.
21:27Woo.
21:28Yeah.
