00:00Tag Team Championship on the line!
00:15Asuka on the left, Kairi Sane on the right, but the queen pins atop the mountain remain the Kabuki Warriors.
00:33But much higher stakes tonight.
00:35The gold on the line.
00:36Very curious to see what Io employs to kick things off in this one.
00:40Pan with Asuka, Kairi was the student, Asuka claims she never treated Io.
00:44Asuka, keep your eyes on Ripley!
00:46And Ripley now taking out Asuka and Sane.
00:49I would put some respect on the opinion of the Empress.
00:52Ripley now in the clothesline driving Kairi.
00:54Got a bit of momentum when it comes to Ripley.
00:56Remember, she knocked off Rhea in a matchup last month.
00:59The former two-time world champion.
01:01From the challenge, they have the best of friends.
01:04The level that the Kabuki Warriors have had.
01:06They have been lifelong.
01:07Rhea, of course, a three-time world champion.
01:10Ooh!
01:11Ooh!
01:12Tag!
01:13Ooh!
01:14And a knee by Asuka.
01:15I mentioned earlier.
01:16Asuka's the shot-caller of her team.
01:18Kairi always follows suit if you want to win the gold.
01:20And Ripley now.
01:21Oh, man!
01:22With that cannonball again.
01:23And Kairi now before she has to break.
01:26Figure four choke applied deeply.
01:28Oh!
01:29And a big forearm driving strong as Rhea Ripley.
01:31You need to put as much of your weight.
01:32Ooh!
01:33And Asuka with a bulldog.
01:34And a kick out.
01:35Punk breaker for the world title tonight.
01:36Asuka with a bulldog.
01:37And Kairi to retain.
01:38And a kick out.
01:39Punk breaker for the world title tonight.
01:40Asuka once again on the top.
01:41Turnbuckle!
01:42Head bumped by Ripley.
01:43Asuka.
01:44There's the power.
01:45And a fall away slam by Rhea.
01:47Tag made.
01:48Here comes Io.
01:49Rocking the jaw of the Empress of Tomorrow.
01:51Oh!
01:52There's the sling blade!
01:53Oh!
01:54Kairi misses wildly.
01:55Io Skye out to the apron.
01:56Hanging.
01:57Kairi up top.
01:58Io now.
01:59Missiles.
02:00Rock kick!
02:01You know, we mentioned this, Corey, on Friday night.
02:02Asuka gonna intercept and dump Skye out to the apron.
02:05Io Skye looking to launch herself.
02:08But Kairi Sane.
02:10And Kairi now.
02:11Oh!
02:12The back of the neck of Skye.
02:14That Kairi Sane delivered the uh.
02:15And there's the sliding D by Kairi Sane.
02:18Boom!
02:19Double team again.
02:20Gonna look for a patented Alabama slam.
02:22Slam to Io Skye.
02:23And Krab with the ankles crossed.
02:25I gotta wonder about the application of this.
02:27I think Kairi needs to have her own body.
02:29Io Skye now.
02:30Is she gonna tap center of the ring?
02:31Nowhere to go.
02:32And Kairi's now gonna change things around.
02:34Io!
02:35Great counter!
02:36Io inches away!
02:38Ooh!
02:39Kairi got caught.
02:41Rhea planning.
02:42Kairi.
02:43Ripley now full head of steam.
02:45Now Asuka runs into a boot.
02:47For Rhea Ripley.
02:48Oh!
02:49Io Skye is...
02:50Throw missile drop kick!
02:51Asuka from behind!
02:53Driving!
02:54What a better move and a code breaker by Asuka!
02:57To retain!
02:58Rhea kicks out at two!
03:01Asuka begging for a tag.
03:03Now legal for the Kabuki Warriors.
03:05And a sliding knee by Asuka.
03:07Oh shit!
03:08Into a German suplex!
03:09Rhea got caught!
03:10Legal double-teamed by the Kabuki Warriors.
03:12Cover.
03:13Double-teamed.
03:14Coming to Ripley!
03:15The Cutlass!
03:16And a German suplex delivered.
03:18Tag.
03:19Makes the tag Io Skye's legal.
03:21Good for a German suplex.
03:22Roll through now by Skye.
03:23Stopped right to the mid-section!
03:24Bullet train attack!
03:27Rhea the legal person!
03:29Over the moonsault!
03:31Down goes Kairi!
03:33Rhea to the cover!
03:35Teamate!
03:36Rhea Ripley!
03:37Edo Skye!
03:38With the top titles!
03:43Hello again everybody and welcome to ringside.
03:44Michael Cole and Corey Gray.
03:54Cool turn!
03:58All you have done is disrespect this man.
04:01But I mean there is something about showing respect to uh...
04:04I mean maybe at least appreciate what Jon did for the matches of the ring general and Gunther.
04:09But again, it's that disrespect.
04:10Come on in!
04:18So I've been asked by management to show a little bit of respect.
04:27Respect for the man that made Jon Cena do the one thing.
04:31Tap.
04:32Tap.
04:33Out.
04:34Like a little.
04:37Well the phenomenal AJ Styles who...
04:48AJ Styles!
04:50You are punching above your weights.
04:53I'm the greatest wrestler in this company right now.
04:56You couldn't...
04:57Because I'm the man!
04:58You couldn't...
04:59You couldn't...
05:00Because I'm the man!
05:01Make Jon Cena...
05:02Tap out.
05:03Like a little...
05:04BITCH!
05:05So that now leaves us with one question.
05:07What is little AJ gonna do about it?
05:09So that now leaves us with one question.
05:11What is little AJ gonna do about it?
05:17Oh!
05:18Oh!
05:19Yeah!
05:20You ain't gonna do nothing!
05:21You ain't gonna do nothing!
05:22You ain't gonna do nothing!
05:24You ain't gonna do nothing!
05:26You ain't gonna do nothing!
05:27That's what I thought!
05:28Nothing!
05:33To AJ Styles, Corey Amey who completely respects Jon Cena.
05:41Intercontinental Championship!
05:43He ain't shit!
05:45Maxine's playing with house money.
05:49I'm not going to the back of the line!
05:50Make something happen!
05:51Until we know who the Women's Intercontinental Champion is, it doesn't matter.
05:55We have to get through tonight to figure out what happens on the other side.
05:58Let's get through tonight and we'll figure it out.
06:00I'm not going to the back of the line.
06:03Hey Pierce!
06:04I want AJ!
06:07Enough of that!
06:08You either are you going to come in here and complain?
06:10You're going to come to the boss and complain a little bit?
06:12Me and you, what are you going to complain?
06:14Or are you going to stand there like a little bitch?
06:16I want him!
06:17Next week!
06:18Next week it's official.
06:19Maxine Dupree!
06:20Next week it's official.
06:24Maxine Dupree!
06:26Championship!
06:27About how your mentality is the Intercontinental Champion.
06:30But this is a different atmosphere.
06:32High profile matchup at a certain...
06:34Becky Lynch and Maxine Dupree locking things up for the Intercontinental Championship.
06:38Heard and Shatner together.
06:39I'm sure he's still kicking around somewhere.
06:41One on one matches with Becky.
06:43I think we can chalk a lot of that up to the fact that Becky Lynch...
06:46Becky with a cheap shot there.
06:48Oh, could you imagine?
06:50Becky now...
06:51Oh!
06:52Maxine with a fence crest and now the right hand!
06:53And her fate lands on the floor.
06:55Becky Lynch down!
06:56Oh!
06:57By Maxine!
06:58Sometimes the superstar just has your number and whatever you try to do you can't...
07:01In time, the champion now on the second turnbuckle!
07:03Ripped down!
07:04End of the big time for many years!
07:06And there's a Bexploder!
07:07And Becky now, baseball slide, drives Maxine to the floor.
07:11What a fool!
07:12Biggie!
07:13Not again!
07:15Drops the leg right across the chest.
07:17Hook to the leg!
07:18Kick out at two by the champ!
07:19Dupree answered by the challenger Lynch!
07:22Maxine and Becky...
07:24Oh!
07:25Splash in the corner!
07:26Of the fans!
07:27That runny knee!
07:28And now Maxine looking to put this one away!
07:30Oh!
07:31Oh!
07:32That'll stun Becky!
07:33Cover!
07:34And a kick out by Lynch!
07:35Gonna turn things into an ankle lock here!
07:38Dragging herself through the rope, that'll force a break!
07:40There's a disarmor!
07:41They're looking for the disarmor here!
07:42Break counter by Maxine!
07:43Becky now!
07:44Superplex!
07:45Oh DDT!
07:46That could do it!
07:47Back suplex delivered to Maxine to win the championship!
07:48And a kick out!
07:49From the champion Maxine Dupree!
07:50She is taking every...
07:51Would love to make Maxine submit!
07:52Top rope!
07:53Cross body!
07:54To retain!
07:55Becky kicks it too!
07:56Oh my!
07:57I think Maxine...
07:58Wow!

09:22We appreciate that war last week-les!
09:25That was last year!
09:27That was last year!
09:28This year is the year of the Usos!
09:30This is a warning shot to every tag team in the game!
09:34Please!
09:35We'll be waiting right here!

09:38Usos Anonymous for victory!

09:42We're gonna be on Monday Night Raw!
09:43You know where to find us!
09:44World War...
09:45Usos!
09:46It's a warning shot!
09:47Stephanie Vacker!
09:48That is because she suffered an ankle injury in last week's young woman who won the Battle Royal back in July and successfully had a champion versus champion.
10:13You successfully defended this championship, but I think the question on everyone's mind is what now?
10:25The most important, my biggest dream.
10:28I became Women's World Champion!
10:34Thank you for believing in me!
10:37Terminé el mejor año de mi vida!
10:40Ellas ahora saben quién es la primera!

10:56World knows...
10:57Oh my God!
10:58Raquel Rodriguez!
10:59Raquel Rodriguez now!
11:01She wasn't pinned to the triple...
11:04Oh my God!
11:05And now attacking the injured ankle!
11:07I understand wanting to be champion, but this is ridiculous!
11:10End her career!
11:13The Tejada Bomb!
11:16Somebody get out here and help her!
11:22And again, he attacked right on the injured ankle!
11:25Get in there! She's gonna break her damn leg!
11:27Seventy's hurt bad!
11:29Okay!
11:30You do the right thing, Jim!
11:31String together a couple more wins!
11:32Oh my God!

12:02You will be champion again!
12:05Thank you!
12:07Thank you for your time with me, brother.
12:09Hey, king.
12:10How are you?
12:12First, happy year, king.
12:14Happy year, king.
12:15Last week you called me and I did.
12:17What the vision has been doing on Rao.
12:20That's why I become back, Eric.
12:23Que ese payaso de Logan Paul
12:25y el pendejo de Austin Theory.
12:27Porque tú eres el mejor de todos los tiempos, king.
12:29No sabes qué paro te me hiciste, penta, eh.
12:31I've been dealing with these two pendejos,
12:33Logan and Austin, for a few weeks now.
12:35Only you, solo tú, understand the tradition,
12:39honor, and respect of Lucha LÃder.
12:42The vision wants to destroy.
12:44Anytime you need me, I'll be here for you.
12:49Settle!
12:51Yeah.
12:53Lyra Ben-Kiria!
12:56Stranger Things.
12:59It's been almost seven months.
13:02You know, back when you were in the 10-speed gang.
13:05Next tee champ against the former two-time world champ.
13:09What a mouth breather-type take on things.
13:11Valkiria with a close line.
13:13Greenbrook with over 14,000 strong and Perez looks on.
13:17Oh, my!
13:18She paid her booze.
13:19Oh!
13:20She worked her way from the bottom all the way to the top.
13:22And now Lyra driven into the steel.
13:24Steps by Liv Morgan.
13:25Now, having some words with our-
13:27Of the internet wrestling community, as they say.
13:29I spend a lot of time online.
13:31Yeah, that's right.
13:32We haven't talked much about her at ringside.
13:33Oh!
13:34Stability is to be questioned right now.
13:36Keep-
13:37Liv now-
13:38Oh!
13:39Backstabber!
13:40Lyra powers out at two.
13:42Liv Morgan just has a way of batter in the ring, doesn't she?
13:44On Roxy's face, watching Liv Morgan put in the work.
13:47In this one, Liv's handling business all on her own.
13:50Champion, the Dominic Mysterio, a former-
13:52Mike LeVolce.
13:53She's paying homage to Andy Guerrero.
13:54I was getting-
13:55Liv Morgan has looked sharp in her return to the ring.
13:57At Barclays Center in Brooklyn tonight!
14:00While applying the submission.
14:02Oh!
14:03Both women down center of the ring.
14:04And if you're just joining us.
14:05J.D. McDonough and Dominic Mysterio.
14:07Raquel Rodriguez has gone off the deep end.
14:09And Liv Morgan with a right hand!
14:12Lyra answers!
14:14Velia.
14:15Talking trashes.
14:16Lyra walking the ropes.
14:17Tornado DDT!
14:19And Lyra now.
14:20Looking for-
14:21Oh!
14:22Down goes!
14:23The knife hanging out.
14:24Liv Morgan.
14:25Uh-oh!
14:26Shoulders down.
14:27Lyra!
14:28Looks to gain the upper hand.
14:29Oh!
14:30Wow!
14:31Hook of the leg for Morgan!
14:32And a kick out by Valkyria.
14:33With some strikes.
14:34Oh man!
14:35Look at this now!
14:36What a move by Morgan!
14:37To dump Valkyria out of the ring!
14:38And out of Bayley!
14:39And Roxanne says, Bill!
14:40Over the barricade into the timekeeper's area!
14:41And out there now!
14:42Oh no!
14:43Get out of here Roxanne!
14:44And Bayley now in pursuit!
14:45Live!
14:46Oblivion!
14:47Morgan wins!
14:48Morgan wins!
14:49Morgan shines and a return to the ring!
14:54Punk, there are some people who believe one spear tonight and we have a new champion.
15:00How are you preparing for Braun Breaker?
15:01You know, everybody's got an opinion.
15:02They would obviously much rather talk about me.
15:03One, two, three, spear.
15:04Okay.
15:05Spear, one, two, three, whatever it is in Steiner math.
15:06If I'm the underdog, that means you under-restorate me.
15:07It's GTS.
15:08You're going for a nap.
15:09I don't care who it is.
15:10It could be you.
15:11Tonight it's Braun.
15:12Title, it's our main event.
15:13Punk Breaker, live tonight!
15:14It is.
15:15It's our main event.
15:16Punk.
15:17The Punk, there are some people who believe one spear tonight and we have a new champion.
15:20How are you preparing for Braun Breaker?
15:22You know, everybody's got an opinion.
15:23They would obviously much rather talk about me.
15:24One, two, three, spear.
15:25Okay, spear one, two, three, whatever it is in Steiner math.
15:28If I'm the underdog, that means you under-restorate me.
15:30It's GTS, you're going for a nap.
15:31I don't care who it is.
15:32It could be you.
15:33Tonight it's Braun.
15:34Our main event, Puck Breaker, live tonight.
15:37Austin Theory and Logan Paul.
15:40Final thoughts as we head towards tonight's main event.
15:43Yeah, before we get into all that, that's crazy.
15:46I see Ray and Penta running their mouths.
15:48Everyone loves us.
15:50Oh, stop that, Brooklyn.
15:51This place is Brooklyn, as far as I'm concerned.
15:54When it comes to the vision, tonight isn't a breakout night.
15:58It's confirmation.
16:00It's the next step for the vision.
16:02Yeah, look, I don't want to brag or nothing.
16:04Look, I've seen Braun Breaker's potential from the beginning.
16:09I'm smart enough to realize we are the now.
16:12It's happening right now.
16:14Ladies and gentlemen, we are taking everything.
16:17It is 2026, Byron.
16:20It's a new era with a new heavyweight champion, Braun Breaker.
16:27A.J. Styles, one-on-one with the ring general, Gunther.
16:41Braun Breaker, a young man who was born for this.
16:45And there's Braun Breaker, of course, consulting with the Oracle.
16:48This is the reality of the situation for the champion, CM Punk.
17:10Faster.
17:10A man who is stronger.
17:12But what Punk does have on his side is experience.
17:14Not only the physical truth, but the mental aspect.
17:17Inside the War Games cage.
17:19Does that come into play at all tonight?
17:21Then into the ropes by Punk.
17:23Oh, look at that!
17:23And Mount Breaker, and there's the power.
17:26Breaker in control.
17:28Because you are not going to win.
17:30Tackle.
17:31Off that tackle into a...
17:32You know, we talked strategy earlier.
17:34I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment.
17:36By Punk, and there's the clothesline to Breaker.
17:38Destination.
17:39Off the side, Russian leg sweep.
17:41And a kick out.
17:42This is a young man who overcompensates.
17:45And there's Punk now caught by Breaker.
17:47And Breaker's on the throw.
17:48The breakneck speed.
17:49Uh-oh, uh-oh.
17:50Breaker at a clothesline.
17:54Handful of guys, actually two, who have taken...
17:57Look at this.
17:57Braun Breaker could strengthen his case.
18:01And now again, Breaker just overpowering the champion here.
18:05Very little offense tonight at Breaker.
18:07This has been an extremely one-sided...
18:08Well, you also mentioned earlier, Punk's a veteran, right?
18:11He's shrewd.
18:12He's wide.
18:12Able to avoid.
18:13There's the back suplex.
18:16Punk just got fired up after the trash talk.
18:19That intangible.
18:20That next gear.
18:22Oh, wow.
18:23He played on the bridge of the nose.
18:24Breaker with Punk on his shoulder.
18:26Oh, my goodness.
18:27For the title.
18:28Punk just gets the shoulder up.
18:30Breaker has been a step ahead of Punk.
18:33And see if Punk meets him with a clothesline.
18:37Punk locks it himself off the barricade.
18:39Down goes Breaker again.
18:40Right here in front of us.
18:41Cross body into the lateral press.
18:44Hook of the leg.
18:45Kick out.
18:45And there's Punk with the...
18:47Heyman's entire demeanor.
18:49Seen Punk execute that same running bulldog a million and a half times.
18:52Muscle Punk.
18:53And look at that athleticism.
18:54And that's not even fair.
18:56Went for the break and steiner.
18:57Oh, that's what Punk was waiting for.
19:00And Punk delivers the elbow.
19:02Again.
19:02He said, we'll do it this time.
19:04Break and steiner.
19:05And it off.
19:06Punk kicks at it too.
19:08Punk.
19:08Punk now turns it into a DDT.
19:11Cover here by the champion.
19:12Is it enough to retain?
19:14Breaker.
19:14Dividends now for Punk who catches it with a heel kick.
19:18Punk.
19:18Ducks underneath.
19:19There's the swinging neck breaker by CM.
19:21Punk with the elbow.
19:2499 time.
19:25No Heyman now.
19:26Oh, no.
19:27What?
19:27You were wondering.
19:28The vision's here.
19:29The Osillo.
19:30Paul.
19:31And Austin Theory as well.
19:33Breaker can ill afford a disqualification here.
19:35He drives Punk.
19:36Come to war.
19:37And a stomp by Theory.
19:39Cover.
19:40Punk kicks at it too.
19:42Uh-oh.
19:43We got some backup.
19:46Dragon Lee.
19:47Dragon Lee.
19:48Penta.
19:50DDT.
19:50Has been disposed of courtesy of this trio.
19:54What a brawl underway outside the ring.
19:56Remember Penta in this fight spilling out into the Barclays Center.
20:00Stalking the champion.
20:01It could be spear time.
20:04Mondetta Hawks reined in Puck.
20:06Going to sleep.
20:09Oh, Breaker kicked out at two.
20:11How the hell did Breaker do that?
20:13Puck caught on the nose.
20:15A pile driver.
20:16Oh, Breaker didn't get all of it though.
20:18You can feel the World Heavyweight Championship slipping through his fingers right now.
20:22And now Puck with Breaker up on his shoulders yet again.
20:25CM Punk went for the go to sleep.
20:27Breaker.
20:27Uh-oh.
20:28Uh-oh.
20:28Puck going to tap out.
20:30Is Puck going to tap the Breaker?
20:31Somehow has to roll through.
20:33And now Puck.
20:34You cut off the blood.
20:35You put it to sleep this way.
20:37Two eyes Puck.
20:38Now staring in the eyes of the champion.
20:40Feet hoisting.
20:41Puck up.
20:42On Breaker with a gut bustering.
20:45Puck stays in it.
20:48Braun Breaker says it's time for Puck.
20:51Lifting Puck up on his shoulders.
20:54Went for the GTS.
20:55Puck drags Breaker back to the middle of the ring.
20:57And now Puck's got it locked in.
20:59The STF is in on Breaker.
21:02And now Heyman again on the apron.
21:06Down goes Heyman for the spear.
21:09And Puck now with a suicide dive.
21:12Impact was worse Paul.
21:14The right hand of Braun Breaker.
21:15Oh my God.
21:17You gotta be kidding me.
21:19Of the ring.
21:20It's spear time.
21:21Puck though.
21:23Puck with a GTS.
21:25CM Punk retains the world title.
21:28Puck promised.
21:29When he won the world championship again.
21:32Endured hell.
21:34Braun Breaker.
21:35CM Punk retains.
21:38You got it.
21:38You got it.
21:55You got it.
