00:02:04Walt.
00:02:07Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, you're so eating, cut
00:02:23the music, cut, cut the damn music.
00:02:36Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, you're disrespecting
00:03:00you.
00:03:02Yo, Memphis, shut up.
00:03:09Every ounce of wisdom that this man has is worth the same as the most valuable trading card
00:03:18in the world, which I just sold last night for $16 million.
00:03:23None of you will ever see that in your lives.
00:03:30Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Logan Paul.
00:03:42And I have a vision for Monday Night Raw, and that vision is to host this great show in
00:03:50the most beautiful city in the United States.
00:03:55And this is not it.
00:04:02Hey, but good news.
00:04:03Good news, Memphis.
00:04:05We're here.
00:04:21Well, the Usos are still up in the stands.
00:04:24There's a piece of footage that will explain my mood tonight, and I would very much appreciate
00:04:32it if it would be shown right now.
00:04:38Corey, last week's main event, Triple Threat Theory, Penta, and Knight, winner to qualify
00:04:42for the Elimination Chamber.
00:04:43A chaotic scene on the outside of the ring, but once again, the mysterious masked man,
00:04:48whom has plagued the vision in recent weeks, would strike again, stomping Theory's head
00:04:53into the floor outside before being chased off by Logan Paul.
00:04:57But unfortunately, this left Theory susceptible to a BFT from L.A. Knight.
00:05:07That masked man, look at this.
00:05:17Masked man, huh?
00:05:18Real original.
00:05:20Every single one of you knows that that was my match to win.
00:05:24All of you, all of you, especially you two bum-ass guys.
00:05:31All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
00:05:34Playtime with the vision is over.
00:05:38I realize your babysitter's not doing his job, so let Uncle Adam come out here.
00:05:42Let's all go back to my office and talk about this like adults.
00:05:47Now, you want to come out here?
00:05:48You want to interrupt me too?
00:05:49You know what?
00:05:50We're going to do it right here and right now.
00:05:53I won that match last week, you know it, and you screwed me out of it.
00:05:58You screwed me.
00:05:59You screwed yourself, and if you're being honest, Theory, if it wasn't for Logan and Bronson,
00:06:03my security would have had the masked man taken care of, and we're not even having this conversation right now.
00:06:09So let's get the show back on the rails and go back to my office like gentlemen, please.
00:06:14You want your show back?
00:06:18I want Bronson Reed inside the Elimination Chamber, and I want you to make that official right now.
00:06:30And here we find out what it's all about.
00:06:32Don't think I haven't heard about the phone calls you've been making to go above my head like I have
00:06:37a problem putting Bronson Reed in the chamber
00:06:41if Bronson Reed earns the right to be in the chamber.
00:06:46Which is why next week, Bronson, you are in a qualifying match to earn your way into the Elimination Chamber.
00:06:52And now that that's done, can we leave the ring and get on with Monday?
00:07:27Let me talk to you.
00:07:32The chickens have come home to roost.
00:07:36You talk about every single one of the guy in the mask.
00:07:40Who's the masked man?
00:07:41It was you.
00:07:41Look how now it just turns around on you and you get screwed by yourself.
00:07:46Yeah.
00:07:47Yeah.
00:07:48Story is you're not going to Elimination Chamber.
00:07:52You're not going to WrestleMania.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:55Dreams dashed.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:58Hope's gone.
00:07:59Yeah.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:01And what that means, Bronson Reed, you're the next one.
00:08:04And I tell you what, seriously, I want to pray if there's anybody up there listening, sweet filthy Lord, please
00:08:11put Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber so I can stuff his fat head between those bars and kick him
00:08:18square in his ass 38, 40,000 times.
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:22Yeah.
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:24Because for everything that you put me through, you got...
00:08:28Oh!
00:08:28Oh, you mean like the car that he put you through?
00:08:37Hey, you mean like the car that he put you through?
00:08:39Yeah, that's what I mean, you simple-minded, broccoli-haired bitch.
00:08:45You got one coming, too.
00:08:47All of you got one coming.
00:08:49And I tell you what, Adam, far be it for me to tell you how to run your show.
00:08:53But I just look in this ring, and I see these three turds things.
00:08:59And I say you don't let them leave, because even though the Usos and I,
00:09:04we don't have the best track record, but if they want to come on down here,
00:09:07I see two Usos.
00:09:12And I see this man with everybody saying,
00:09:18Yeah!
00:09:20I don't know, Memphis, what do you think?
00:09:26Sounds like Memphis wants it.
00:09:28But L.A. wants it.
00:09:29Usos, what are you guys saying?
00:09:34Well, there you have it.
00:09:35It is official.
00:09:36It's a six-man tag.
00:09:38And it starts right now.
00:09:42Yeah!
00:09:44Oh, yeah.
00:09:45What a way to kick off Monday Night Raw, Corey.
00:09:49The Usos are going to run it back, and we're going to have a six-man tag.
00:09:53It appears with a fantastic decision, giving the good people of Memphis what they want to see.
00:09:59A six-man tag team matchup division against L.A. Knight and the Usos, live next on Netflix.
00:10:14Jimmy and Jey Uso, the current tag team champions, set to go to work with L.A. Knight and his
00:10:21six-man tag team match tonight.
00:10:22Paul Heyman cannot be happy with the way this has played out so far.
00:10:28Paul Heyman has got a great deal on his mind and even more on his plate when it comes to
00:10:33the vision.
00:10:33We've got this masked man who has been running roughshod, causing chaos at the expense of the vision.
00:10:39And Heyman seems to have no idea who or why he is.
00:10:43And not to mention that Braun Breaker, who had become sort of the pseudo-leader of the vision, is out
00:10:49indefinitely after going through surgery.
00:10:52And it's tough to not blame that, at least partially, on this chaos and the masked man.
00:10:57Braun Breaker obviously having a great deal of difficulty maintaining his focus even when working out in the gym.
00:11:03And Corey, listen, the vision has brought all of this upon themselves and wasted a little time.
00:11:09The Usos in L.A. Knight going after the vision.
00:11:13And we haven't even started this six-man tag team match yet.
00:11:17We've got a melee on our hands and this $16 million man dumped out to the floor.
00:11:23Yeah, we'll tell you that story in a few moments. It's been an eventful week for Logan Paul.
00:11:28And now Bronson Reed, the sacrificial lamb, getting teed off on by the Usos in L.A. Knight.
00:11:42Bronson Reed, as we just learned moments ago, will compete in an Elimination Chamber qualifying matchup next week.
00:11:49But this could really, really harm the momentum of Ozzilla if he doesn't find success tonight in this six-man
00:11:56tag.
00:11:56Well, the Oracle Paul Heyman needs to wander over there and try to get the vision refocused.
00:12:05Because they've been taken out of their game by L.A. Knight and the Usos.
00:12:13And now the strategy session here at ringside with Heyman.
00:12:17I would love to be privy to the wisdom of the Oracle.
00:12:20That's going to be like getting poached up by Vince Lombardi or Bill Belichick.
00:12:25And the bell rings and we are underway in this six-man tag team matchup at L.A. Knight.
00:12:32We'll start things off with Logan Paul.
00:12:34Quite the history between these two.
00:12:36Remember, it was Knight who took the United States Championship away from Logan Paul a couple of years ago.
00:12:41And now the body shots by Paul.
00:12:44The boxing background of Logan Paul coming into play.
00:12:47Not to mention the titanium reinforced right hand of Mr. Paul.
00:12:53Referee Rod Zipada separating the men.
00:12:57I owe you, L.A. Knight.
00:13:07So this impromptu six-man tag team matchup is underway.
00:13:11It is the vision against L.A. Knight and the tag champs, the Usos.
00:13:14And L.A. Knight taking the fight to Logan Paul.
00:13:19It's been an eventful week for Logan Paul.
00:13:21At first he got into it with, well, legend Tom Brady on social media.
00:13:26And then he just sold a trading card for $16 million.
00:13:31Logan Paul makes more money in his side hustle than most of us collectively do in our careers.
00:13:36And the only reason Logan hasn't won a Super Bowl ring is because he hasn't had time.
00:13:40Tag made.
00:13:41And here comes Jimmy Uso of the tag champs.
00:13:45And Jimmy, the arm of Austin Theory who came out here tonight all out of sorts after being cost the
00:13:51chance to qualify for the Elimination Chamber a week from Saturday thanks to the masked man.
00:13:56And I'd ask you to be unbiased, but I know that's pretty much impossible for you.
00:14:00But Austin Theory has every right in the world to be upset.
00:14:03Heyman and the vision have every right to be irate because this masked man has cost them on more than
00:14:08one occasion.
00:14:09Think back to the Royal Rumble.
00:14:11That's part of the reason Braun Breaker's not around.
00:14:12How about when Austin Theory is dressed as a masked man and we're costing people matches?
00:14:16Nobody said anything about that?
00:14:17It was all means to an end.
00:14:18Tag.
00:14:19Main event, Jey Uso.
00:14:22Now the legal man.
00:14:25Elbows connecting.
00:14:27No one does it better.
00:14:29Cover now by Jey.
00:14:30And a kick out.
00:14:34The Uso's a nine-time tag team champions.
00:14:37They hold the record of over 600 days as champion at one point in their careers.
00:14:42Tag made now to L.A. Knight.
00:14:44Remember, Knight is qualified for the Chamber, Corey.
00:14:47Oh, nice deck breaker.
00:14:48Boiled down to personal issues.
00:14:50Covered by the Megastar.
00:14:51Is it enough?
00:14:52And a kick out at two.
00:14:54Knight joining Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton as three of the six who will be a part of the Men's
00:14:59Elimination Chamber matchup a week from Saturday in Chicago.
00:15:03You can almost hear L.A. Knight salivating at the idea of getting his hands on Big Bronson Reed inside
00:15:08of the Elimination Chamber.
00:15:09Well, he's going to have a chance to get his...
00:15:12Oh!
00:15:13Ooh!
00:15:13His sights on Big Bronson Reed now, who's the legal man and a great double team by the Vision.
00:15:19Tremendous teamwork by Theory and Big Bronson Reed.
00:15:24330 pounds.
00:15:26The Osceola Bronson Reed who cost Knight a couple of months of action when he delivered a tsunami tonight on
00:15:32the hood of a car back in December.
00:15:36Tag made to Logan Paul, the $16 million man.
00:15:41Who would have ever thought Pokemon would pay such big dividends?
00:15:45You know, it was a Pikachu illustrator.
00:15:49I know what it was, Cole.
00:15:50I put a bid on it.
00:15:51I have no idea what it was, but the fact that someone paid $16.5 million for a trading card...
00:15:56I offered $250 and a jawbreaker.
00:15:58I wonder what mine's worth.
00:16:00And Logan Paul now with a stop to L.A. Knight.
00:16:05You are pathetic, brother.
00:16:07You are actually the worst.
00:16:10To me, it's L.A. Knight.
00:16:13Paul loves to talk.
00:16:14He's got quite the ego.
00:16:16That's the thing about the Vision.
00:16:18Knight's gut wrench that time.
00:16:20Here's the cover.
00:16:21Isn't enough to put him away.
00:16:22Knight has to kick out three distinct personalities as it comes to the Vision.
00:16:26Well, absolutely.
00:16:27And Logan Paul has earned the right to be egotistical, whereas Austin Theory believes his ego was his downfall.
00:16:34Theory tasted some success, but was unable to really hold on to it long term, which is why he's reinvented
00:16:39himself alongside Logan Paul and Ozzy.
00:16:42And Heyman has coined Austin Theory the pressure.
00:16:48Tag.
00:16:49Austin Theory provides for the Vision as a unit.
00:16:52And again, remember the Vision not even at full strength, Corey.
00:16:56Broadbreaker out of action and definitely following surgery last week.
00:17:00Right now, the defiant L.A. Knight trying to find an escape from the Vision corner.
00:17:07The Vision doing a great job.
00:17:09Oh, and a big splash.
00:17:10And this is a perfect example of L.A. Knight being a guy who thinks with his heart, not his
00:17:15brain.
00:17:16Teaming with the Usos is great.
00:17:17Seems like a good idea until you realize you're dealing with a cohesive team, a unit in the Vision who
00:17:22work together as one.
00:17:36L.A. Knight has been rendered ineffective for the past several moments, courtesy of all three members of the Vision.
00:17:45Logan Paul now dribbling Knight's face off of the ring apron.
00:18:16Logan Paul now dribbling Knight.
00:18:20Unpopular tonight in Memphis.
00:18:22Tag made to Austin Theory.
00:18:25Picture perfect double suplex.
00:18:27Here's the cover now by Theory.
00:18:29And Knight kicks out.
00:18:30You know, you mentioned something about L.A. Knight, how he seems to always put himself in this position to
00:18:35get himself in trouble.
00:18:36But that's what endears him, I believe, to the WWE fans.
00:18:39I completely agree with you.
00:18:40It's certainly a living vicariously situation from the WWE fans through L.A. Knight.
00:18:46The problem is, Knight doesn't often think before he acts.
00:18:50And you think that's a detriment.
00:18:52Professionally speaking, it certainly can be.
00:18:55And now Theory trying to draw the Usos into the ring.
00:18:57And it allows big Bronson Reed to send L.A. Knight back into the fire.
00:19:02And again, L.A. Knight, certainly a worthy competitor in his own right.
00:19:06He's standing alongside one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history, but they're not a team.
00:19:10I'm not sure if you heard Heyman moments ago, but he was shouting at Theory.
00:19:14Pressure, pressure, pressure.
00:19:16Keep the pressure on.
00:19:17That's what he wants Theory to do.
00:19:19Theory whipped into the corner and catches L.A. Knight with a boot.
00:19:22Knight's got to try to make a tag.
00:19:24And Theory with a wicked clothesline running through Knight.
00:19:27And this is a much different Austin Theory than we've come to know over the past few years.
00:19:31You're absolutely right.
00:19:32In the past, we've seen on more than one occasion, Austin Theory get caught admiring his own handiwork.
00:19:37Savoring the moment.
00:19:39Arrogant cover there by big Bronson Reed.
00:19:41And it's cost Theory, oftentimes in high-stakes situations.
00:19:45Austin Theory needs to learn from past mistakes.
00:19:47And under the guidance of Paul Heyman, he seems to be doing just that.
00:19:50And Bronson Reed burying the shoulder in the midsection of L.A. Knight.
00:19:53Knight has been isolated by the vision here.
00:19:56And it's just being picked apart.
00:19:58And this is what the vision likes to do.
00:20:00It's that pack mentality.
00:20:04L.A. Knight, who's already qualified for the chamber.
00:20:06Bronson Reed looks to qualify next week.
00:20:11Shaping up to be a star-studded chamber a week from Saturday.
00:20:15Already Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and L.A. Knight in.
00:20:29L.A. Knight has been in trouble.
00:20:30He needs to make a tag.
00:20:32He's trying to create space here.
00:20:33But the vision doing a great job isolating him from the tag champs.
00:20:38No quit in L.A. Knight.
00:20:40Desperately reaching for Jimmy and Jay.
00:20:43Trying to overcome the power of big Bronson Reed.
00:20:48L.A. Knight blasting the vision off the apron.
00:20:50Bronson Reed intercepting Knight.
00:20:52Fingertips away now from the Usos.
00:20:55And Bronson Reed just slamming Knight.
00:20:58Balls it up with a senton.
00:21:00Cover.
00:21:01And breaking things up is Jimmy Uso.
00:21:05Again, you can admire the guts of L.A. Knight, but the situation is this.
00:21:08He had no time to strategize alongside Jimmy and Jay Uso.
00:21:13The vision do everything together as one unit.
00:21:16That's a great point.
00:21:18And Bronson Reed, so that's it.
00:21:20L.A. Knight, though, rolls out of harm's way this time as Bronson misses with a senton.
00:21:29L.A. Knight, unfortunately, crawling toward the wrong corner.
00:21:33Tag made.
00:21:34Here comes the pressure.
00:21:35And Austin Theory hopes to keep up the pressure on L.A. Knight.
00:21:39But nobody home.
00:21:39Knight moves out of harm's way.
00:21:41Trying to drag himself to the corner.
00:21:42Trying to make a tag to main event Jay Uso.
00:21:44Logan Paul, though, intercepts.
00:21:46Knight again, a fingertip away.
00:21:49Logan Paul sent flying.
00:21:51Knight makes the tag.
00:21:53Here comes Jay Uso.
00:21:57FedEx Forum just erupted for main event Jay.
00:22:01One, two, three, three, three, four, five.
00:22:08And Jay Uso takes down Logan Paul.
00:22:12One, two, three, three, four, five.
00:22:18Now backing on up.
00:22:23Jay into the cover.
00:22:25Hook of the leg now on Paul.
00:22:27In a near fall for main event Jay Uso.
00:22:29Just barely escaping at the last possible fraction of a second was Logan Paul.
00:22:39And now Uso bringing Logan back to his feet.
00:22:43There is a reversal.
00:22:44Ducks underneath the clothesline.
00:22:46And Uso with a spear!
00:22:49For the win!
00:22:50And Austin Theory saving the matchup.
00:22:53L.A. Knight going to go right after Theory.
00:22:56And now things starting to break down in this six-man tag match.
00:22:59Honestly surprised it took this long.
00:23:05Oh, look at the power of Austin Theory.
00:23:09And driven into the post by L.A. Knight who falls it up.
00:23:13B.M.T!
00:23:14And now Bronson Reed driving Knight through the barricade into the timekeeper's area.
00:23:21This is madness in Memphis to kick off Raw.
00:23:25Meanwhile, the official checking on Jay Uso, who may have injured himself in that spear moments ago.
00:23:32Logan Paul trying to shake out the cobwebs.
00:23:40Locked the kick.
00:23:42Paul!
00:23:43Here's the cover!
00:23:46Almost had him!
00:23:48And a kick at it, too!
00:23:51Logan Paul's fairytale good luck streak almost continued at the expense of main event Jay.
00:23:59Driving Jay.
00:24:00Skull first into the canvas.
00:24:02But not quite enough for three.
00:24:06WWE fans in Memphis all over Logan Paul.
00:24:11Jay lands on his feet.
00:24:13Tag made by Jimmy.
00:24:15There's the superkick.
00:24:17Jimmy now legal.
00:24:18And this is what separates the Usos from the rest of the pack.
00:24:22There he's got one!
00:24:23Jay!
00:24:24One and done!
00:24:27Into the cover!
00:24:29Big Bronson Reed breaks things up.
00:24:33Reed just bulldozed through Jay before diving on top of Jimmy Uso.
00:24:39Big headbutt by Ozzilla.
00:24:43Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:24:45Look out below!
00:24:46No way!
00:24:48Suicide dive!
00:24:50330 pound!
00:24:52747!
00:24:53Wiping out Jay!
00:24:55Taking out everybody in his path!
00:24:59Ozzilla's on the loose!
00:25:01Big right!
00:25:03Good night, Big Jim!
00:25:04That titanium-loaded right hand.
00:25:07Tag now to Big Bronson Reed.
00:25:09Well, the forecast just got a little worse, Cole!
00:25:14Tsunami!
00:25:17The Vision with the win!
00:25:22Here are your winners!
00:25:24The Vision!
00:25:28L.A. Knight's heart may have been in the right place,
00:25:31but he and the Usos just didn't have time to prepare
00:25:36for the Vision.
00:25:39330-plus pounds!
00:25:41A suicide dive that registered on the Richter scale
00:25:44takes out the Usos on the outside,
00:25:47leaving Logan Paul one-on-one
00:25:51with Jimmy Uso,
00:25:53who gets flattened and tsunami-ed.
00:25:59The Vision with a massive win
00:26:02in this tag team match tonight.
00:26:12Hey, hey, were you watching that?
00:26:15Yeah, brother, that's the Vision working.
00:26:17You were watching, huh?
00:26:19For once in your life,
00:26:20instead of talking all the time.
00:26:22All you do is run your mouth.
00:26:29The masked man strikes again!
00:26:36And hightailing it out of dodge
00:26:38as the Vision gives chase,
00:26:40but the damage is done!
00:26:43Logan Paul left lay-in!
00:26:46The masked man does it again!
00:26:52And this is going to drive Heyman in the Vision,
00:26:56possibly off the deep end.
00:26:57Come on!
00:26:59Come on!
00:27:00Come on, you people!
00:27:01Come on!
00:27:02Come on!
00:27:03Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:27:05Monday Night Raw next week
00:27:07heads to Atlanta, Georgia.
00:27:09And another women's qualifier
00:27:12as EO Sky,
00:27:13the genius of the sky,
00:27:15does battle with Raquel Rodriguez
00:27:17of the Judgment Day
00:27:18and Kyrie Sane.
00:27:20Into the men's Elimination Chamber
00:27:22qualifying matchup next week.
00:27:23Bronson Reed is in
00:27:25against Jey Uso
00:27:27in the original
00:27:28El Grande Americano,
00:27:30who is going to the Elimination Chamber
00:27:32a week from Saturday.
00:27:49Okay, what is it?
00:27:51It's a crate.
00:27:53I can see it's a crate.
00:27:55What's in the crate?
00:27:56I don't know.
00:27:57I didn't open it.
00:28:00Why didn't you open it?
00:28:01I don't know.
00:28:02Is there anything you do know?
00:28:04Well, I know that it says
00:28:05Deliver to WWE.
00:28:07Do not open until 2-28-26.
00:28:10Yeah, I can read.
00:28:11What's your name?
00:28:11Eli.
00:28:12Eli Adam.
00:28:13Is my name on here anywhere?
00:28:15No, sir.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:172-28, that's the chamber.
00:28:19Right.
00:28:19Yeah.
00:28:21Well, sir,
00:28:21what do you want me to do with it?
00:28:25I want you to put it back on the truck,
00:28:27send it to SmackDown,
00:28:28and let all this deal with it.
00:28:29You got it, boss, Eli.
00:28:39What can I do for you guys?
00:28:40What can I do for you guys?
00:28:42What can I do for you guys?
00:28:47And yet you gave him a qualifying match for elimination chamber.
00:28:51Let me make this real easy for you, okay?
00:28:55The chamber qualifying matches are set.
00:28:56They're finalized.
00:28:57What's done is done.
00:28:58Is there anything else I can do for the three of you?
00:29:00Well, you gave him something.
00:29:03Dame algo.
00:29:04Andaleway, give me something as well.
00:29:06Okay, what?
00:29:09What about an intercontinental championship?
00:29:14You and everybody else wants an intercontinental title match.
00:29:16Now that Dom came back to grace us with his presence,
00:29:18but I'm not just going to give you a title match.
00:29:21However,
00:29:22how about if I give you a chance to earn one tonight?
00:29:26Esta noche?
00:29:27Esta noche.
00:29:28Suena muy bien para mÃ.
00:29:30MuchÃsimas gracias, señor.
00:29:31You're welcome.
00:29:34Para mÃ.
00:29:35Para ti.
00:29:38Dios mÃo.
00:29:44A lot of things have changed since the last time I was in an elimination chamber match,
00:29:48but mostly me.
00:29:52Last year, my moment on the grandest stage of them all was taken from me,
00:29:57but that sucks now because I'm going to be doing all the taking.
00:30:00I always make history in WWE.
00:30:05WWE.
00:30:06The continues tonight.
00:30:09Bayley!
00:30:10Oh,
00:30:10Nari!
00:30:11Oh,
00:30:11Nari!
00:30:12I'm going to be in the elimination chamber.
00:30:19And I don't care if my road goes to Asuka,
00:30:23Bayley,
00:30:24or anyone else.
00:30:25Respect goes out the window because tonight I'm earning my spot to elimination chamber and I'm getting my moment at
00:30:31WrestleMania.
00:30:32Noah is ready for the elimination chamber.
00:30:36And Noah is ready for Asuka.
00:30:40There's a truth they will all learn in time.
00:30:43Natalya was here to pat you back.
00:30:45Nat is here to break it.
00:30:50Who will move one step closer to WrestleMania?
00:30:56We find out next in another qualifying match for a week from Saturday's elimination chamber.
00:31:02Will it be Bayley?
00:31:03Will it be Asuka?
00:31:04Will it be Natty?
00:31:05Find out live next.
00:31:21Kathy Kelly here.
00:31:22And a bit confusing because moments ago we saw El Grande Americano.
00:31:27But please welcome my guest, the original El Grande Americano.
00:31:36Hola!
00:31:38Mi nombre es El Grande Americano.
00:31:47Forgive me, Kathy.
00:31:49Mi English es no bueno.
00:31:53So if it's okay with everybody here in the heartland of America,
00:31:58I'm going to abandon my native language of Spanish and speak to the good people of Memphis, Tennessee.
00:32:07In plain old English, baby.
00:32:10Now there's been an imposter Americano running around this place for six months and it makes me sick.
00:32:17He showed he's got no respect for Lucha traditions when he tried ripping my mask off in the middle of
00:32:24the ring last week.
00:32:26Well, rest assured, there is only Uno Grande Americano and you're looking at him.
00:32:36And let me shout out Mr. Javon Evans.
00:32:41Last week, the young OG and El Grande OG bounced Los Americanos straight out of this ring and into obscurity.
00:32:51And next week, it's going to be an even bigger leap
00:32:55because El Grande Americano is going to stamp his passport straight into the Elimination Chamber when I win my qualifying
00:33:04match.
00:33:08So with that, I bid you farewell, but let me just say before I go, thank you.
00:33:25Well, very much looking forward to that match next week.
00:33:29I'm so sorry that you feel as though you were a victim of identity theft,
00:33:33but we also have more action coming up right now on Monday Night Raw.
00:33:37So thank you so much.
00:33:43In Vegas, everything's a game.
00:33:47Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
00:33:52Just tension.
00:33:54Never knowing who might show up at the table.
00:34:06Wrestlemania Vegas.
00:34:08It's anyone's game.
00:35:12The following contest is a women's Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
00:35:21Introducing first from Osaka, Japan, Asuka.
00:35:29Ladies and gentlemen, Asuka looking to qualify for her third chamber match.
00:35:35Back in 2023, Corey, Asuka won the Elimination Chamber.
00:35:39That has got to give the empress of tomorrow all the confidence she could need tonight.
00:35:46Asuka, no stranger to the chamber.
00:35:48Asuka, no stranger to the grandest stage of them all at Wrestlemania.
00:35:52One of the greatest female wrestlers in the history of this business.
00:35:59A four-time world champion, five-time tag champ.
00:36:04She's won a Money in the Bank.
00:36:05She's won a Royal Rumble.
00:36:06And as we mentioned, an Elimination Chamber.
00:36:35Next, from Calgary, Alberta.
00:36:39Canada, representing the heart family dungeon, Natalya elevates, Natalya dominates.
00:36:52And Natalya going right after Asuka and referee Jessica Carr trying to separate the two because this is a triple
00:36:58threat match.
00:36:59What we've seen out of Natalya recently is a return to her roots.
00:37:03This is who Natalya has always been.
00:37:05And the world is finally getting to meet her.
00:37:09Natalya looking to qualify for her third chamber match tonight.
00:37:29A lot of experience in the Elimination Chamber match in this one matchup.
00:37:34Bayley, part of the Boston Hub Connection back in 2019, won the inaugural WWE Women Tag Team Championship inside Elimination
00:37:43Chamber.
00:37:44Bayley would love to get back there.
00:37:46That feels like distant, ancient history to Bayley, I can assure you.
00:37:51For being one of the most decorated superstars on the roster, male or female, Bayley hasn't necessarily been herself recently.
00:37:59It's been a rough year, to say the least.
00:38:01And you look at someone like Natalya, or Natty, excuse me, who's evolved into this new persona that looks to
00:38:08dominate.
00:38:08Bayley may look at doing something the same.
00:38:11I completely agree with you.
00:38:12I think Bayley needs to look within herself.
00:38:14She missed WrestleMania last year.
00:38:15And to a degree, I think it's safe to say, Bayley's been something like emotionally shattered.
00:38:20When you work all year trying to elevate the entire women's division and you miss the grandest stage of them
00:38:25all, that can do something to a competitor.
00:38:27Obviously, that's what's happened to Bayley.
00:38:28And look at Natty tee off.
00:38:30Yeah, off that double leg takedown, into the ground and pound on Bayley.
00:38:34And Natty sent outside the ring.
00:38:35Remember, triple threat rules.
00:38:37First woman to gain pinfall and submission will win.
00:38:39No disqualifications, no countouts.
00:38:41Snapmare by Bayley.
00:38:44And Bayley, they're running clothesline.
00:38:47Asuka, not allowing the cover by Bayley.
00:38:51And now from behind, Natty.
00:38:53Natty says she's seen greatness.
00:38:55She bleeds greatness.
00:38:58Of course, the daughter of the Jim Nianville, Neidhart, Bret Hart, her uncle.
00:39:04Of course, Stu Hart, her dad, her grandfather.
00:39:08Look at this.
00:39:09La Tapatia, Mexican surfboard applied by the low-key legend.
00:39:13And I love that Natty's calling herself that.
00:39:15Because Natty finally said, the world's not giving me credit.
00:39:18The company's not giving me credit.
00:39:19The locker room's not giving me credit.
00:39:21Dammit, I'm a legend.
00:39:22She's calling herself a legend with good reason.
00:39:25The only woman in history to survive the Hart family dungeon.
00:39:29And now reminding Asuka just who she is in the ring with.
00:39:33With the Empress answering with a series of open-hand strikes.
00:39:37Nice jump and suplex by Natty.
00:39:39Natty, of course, was put through the rigors by her granddad, Stu Hart.
00:39:46I've known this woman for 18 years.
00:39:48And this is the woman that I saw leave Calgary and first come to WWE.
00:39:52And look at Bayley, oh, driving Asuka into the corner.
00:39:56Well, the parallels between Bayley and Natty are eerily similar.
00:39:59I mean, Natty, as Natalya, spent the majority of her career
00:40:03trying to elevate the women's locker room.
00:40:05Trying to be selfless and do what's best for everyone else.
00:40:08Oh, Bayley's fallen victim to the same sort of situation.
00:40:11Where sometimes, to her own detriment, she's been so giving and selfless.
00:40:15Oh, and let me ask you a question.
00:40:16Wait a minute.
00:40:17Natty catches Bayley.
00:40:19Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:40:20Oh, and it drives Bayley face first into the ring post.
00:40:25Suddenly, Natty's taken over.
00:40:27Ding, dong, hello.
00:40:41A much more aggressive, a much more intense Natty.
00:40:45We saw her attack on Maxine last week before that match even got away.
00:40:49And now, taking advantage that there's no countouts and no disqualifications.
00:40:56I love the side of Natty that the world is seeing for the very first time.
00:41:00Look at the aggression and the intensity etched on her face.
00:41:03I don't even want to repeat what she just said to you.
00:41:06I thought she was talking to you.
00:41:07No, not at all.
00:41:10I wanted to ask you a question about Bayley as well.
00:41:13You mentioned helping to elevate the women's locker room, right?
00:41:16Do you think her relationship, sort of as a mentor to Lyra Valkyria, may be hindering Bayley?
00:41:23I hate to say that because you hate to destroy anyone from passing on wisdom they've acquired in this business.
00:41:28Watch this right knee of Bayley.
00:41:30We know she's had a history of knee injuries.
00:41:33But I think it could benefit Bayley to focus on number one, much like Natty's doing.
00:41:37Maybe just do a deep soul search.
00:41:41Figure out who you truly want to be, what kind of imprint you want to leave on this business.
00:41:46And not only the abdominal stretch here, but the trash talking from Natty to Bayley as well.
00:41:51There are years and years of frustration inside of Natalya and Asuka.
00:41:56Back in it, being spilled through the eyes of Natty.
00:42:01Now the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:42:04Asuka looking to take control in this matchup and Bayley trying to fight back.
00:42:07But if you're Natty, you've got to keep an eye on what's going down in the ring because you don't
00:42:11want to lose this matchup if you're not involved in the fall.
00:42:13Well, that's what Asuka wants.
00:42:15Wants to make it a one-on-one situation with Bayley.
00:42:18Remember, the elimination chamber is a week from Saturday.
00:42:23Already qualifying Alexa Bliss, Tiffany Stratton, and Rhea Ripley.
00:42:27Three more spots remain.
00:42:30Two women start the chamber match.
00:42:32The other four will be locked in pods.
00:42:34Those pods will open throughout the matchup.
00:42:36It's an elimination style, so the last woman standing will get an opportunity to take on whichever champion Liv Morgan
00:42:43doesn't pick at WrestleMania.
00:42:45Hopefully you get an idea who Liv will pick later tonight.
00:42:47Well, you asked about the potential of Lyra Valkyria negatively affecting Bayley's mentality.
00:42:53How about Kyrie Sane and Asuka?
00:42:54I mean, Asuka has to feel like a babysitter all day long, every day.
00:42:57And not to mention, Kyrie cost Asuka an opportunity to win the Rumble when she inadvertently eliminated her.
00:43:04Now Asuka's out here doing what she does best, handling business on her own.
00:43:09Elbow to the chin from Bayley.
00:43:12And Asuka gonna send Bayley.
00:43:15And there it is!
00:43:16Sunset flip, shoulders down!
00:43:19Bayley a half a second away from booking her travel to Chicago in the elimination chamber.
00:43:25And now the role model looking for a neckbreaker here!
00:43:29There it is, Bayley in control.
00:43:37This has been an entertaining triple threat match.
00:43:40The winner will advance to the elimination chamber a week from Saturday with an opportunity to go to WrestleMania.
00:43:45And Bayley with an elbow to the back of the neck of Natty.
00:43:48Here's the cover.
00:43:48Hook of the leg and a kick out by Natty.
00:43:51Already qualifying, Corey.
00:43:53Rear Ripley.
00:43:53Tiffany Stratton and Alexa Bliss.
00:43:55Three spots remain.
00:43:56A star-studded chamber to say the least as we look at Bayley driving her elbow into the spine of
00:44:01Natty.
00:44:02And now the role model turning her attention to the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka.
00:44:06But don't you dare turn your back on the low-key legend.
00:44:10Missed with that discus clothesline.
00:44:11And now Bayley puts Natty up on the top rope.
00:44:15Precarious position for everyone involved here.
00:44:19Natty hung in the tree of woe.
00:44:21And Bayley, oh, and a springboard elbow dropping Natty in the corner.
00:44:26And now going to head up top to try to take out Asuka.
00:44:31This could do it.
00:44:32Bayley looking for the superplex.
00:44:35Nails it.
00:44:36Into the cover.
00:44:37For Bayley to win.
00:44:38And Natty breaks things up yet again.
00:44:42So much on the line.
00:44:43Because if you get into the chamber and you win, you go to WrestleMania to take on the champion that
00:44:48Liv Morgan does not choose.
00:44:50So an opportunity to be in WrestleMania for a championship.
00:44:53A truly career-altering opportunity.
00:44:56The elimination chamber.
00:44:57Much like the Royal Rumble match itself.
00:44:59A guaranteed ticket to the grandest stage of them all.
00:45:02WrestleMania with a title on the line.
00:45:04It doesn't get any bigger than that.
00:45:05And now Natty and Bayley and Asuka exchanging blows.
00:45:13Straight out fight here between these three veterans.
00:45:18And Natty's going to send Bayley through the ropes.
00:45:21Hit hard on the apron.
00:45:23Asuka wanted a hip attack.
00:45:25But Natty answers with a strike of her own.
00:45:28And Asuka connects with Natty.
00:45:30And now Bayley back into the fray.
00:45:33Bayley runs into Asuka.
00:45:35Collisions everywhere.
00:45:38Natty takes out Asuka.
00:45:40Into the cover.
00:45:43Bayley going to break things up.
00:45:46And that back suplex by Bayley.
00:45:49Delivered to Natty.
00:45:51Now it turns her attention to Asuka.
00:45:52You can tell Bayley's feeling the urgency of this matchup.
00:45:58Bayley now heading up to the top rope.
00:45:59May have Asuka where she wants her.
00:46:02Delivering the big elbow.
00:46:04Bayley trying to advance to Chicago.
00:46:06Natty not allowing it to happen.
00:46:09Natty playing spoiler once again.
00:46:13Look at these vicious hammer fists.
00:46:15Natty just mauling Bayley at the moment.
00:46:18And his fight spilling out to the apron.
00:46:21Natty trying to trash talk.
00:46:23Oh my god.
00:46:24Oh my goodness.
00:46:25A German suplex on the apron.
00:46:26Bayley's neck colliding with the steel.
00:46:31But from behind Asuka ripping Natty into the ring.
00:46:34Look at the Asuka lock.
00:46:36Asuka lock trying to get Natty to tap out.
00:46:39Ropes won't save Natty.
00:46:40She's got to work her way out of this move here.
00:46:43Great counter.
00:46:44Into a pinning combination.
00:46:46Forces Asuka to break the hold.
00:46:48Delivers a kick to Natty.
00:46:50Asuka now.
00:46:52Jackknife pin attempt.
00:46:53Natty trying to play defense here.
00:46:56Natty just great counters.
00:46:59Wow.
00:46:59Oh.
00:47:00And that sit-out power bomb to Asuka to advance.
00:47:03And Asuka kicks out at two.
00:47:06Natty continuing to add new moves to her arsenal.
00:47:09Now looking for Old Faithful here.
00:47:11Yeah, looking for her submission hold.
00:47:13The legendary sharpshooter that she learned in the Hart Family Dungeon.
00:47:17She's got it locked in on Asuka.
00:47:21Will Asuka tap out?
00:47:23And Bayley breaking things up.
00:47:27Running knee to the temple of Natty.
00:47:32Oh, and hanging Natty up on the second rope.
00:47:36Asuka now.
00:47:37Oh!
00:47:38With a hip attack sending Natty to the floor.
00:47:41Bayley to Bayley.
00:47:42Bayley going to go to the elimination chamber.
00:47:45Oh!
00:47:45Asuka kicks out.
00:47:47Unbelievable.
00:47:48And that can be a heartbreaker if you're Bayley.
00:47:51You can see the frustration on her face.
00:47:54Yeah, you went to your bread and butter finishing maneuver.
00:47:58The Bayley to belly.
00:48:00And still Asuka kicks out.
00:48:04This is where Bayley needs to show the world and the roster what she's made of.
00:48:08She needs to continue to apply the pressure.
00:48:11Spinning back fist countered.
00:48:12Backslide by Bayley.
00:48:14Shoulders now down.
00:48:14Officially in a great position.
00:48:16And a kick out there.
00:48:22Bayley looking for the rose plant perhaps.
00:48:25Natty again knocked off the apron.
00:48:28Asuka though.
00:48:28Oh!
00:48:29Jumping armbar.
00:48:31And now looking for the Asuka lock.
00:48:33Bayley with nowhere to go.
00:48:35Center of the ring.
00:48:36What's Bayley going to do?
00:48:37She's got to try to counter her but she taps out.
00:48:39Asuka's going to Chicago.
00:48:43Here is your winner by submission, Asuka.
00:48:51The empress of tomorrow.
00:48:55Asuka outlasting Bayley and Natty to earn entry into the elimination chamber.
00:49:02Here are the closing moments.
00:49:04The knee from Bayley connects.
00:49:05And a takedown by Asuka.
00:49:08Asuka cinching in the Asuka lock.
00:49:11And Bayley fought desperately.
00:49:13But eventually had no choice but to tap out.
00:49:17So Asuka now joins the field with Alexa Bliss, Tiffany Stratton, and Rhea Ripley.
00:49:23Two spots remain for the women's elimination chamber matchup a week from Saturday in Chicago.
00:49:31Here we go.
00:49:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:49:37That's Maxine Dupree.
00:49:38From behind, driving Natty into the screen.
00:49:42And now the attack.
00:49:43And an intense attack by Maxine who is beaten up by Natty.
00:49:47Natty cost her an Intercontinental Championship opportunity as well.
00:49:51Former mentor and mentee here.
00:50:01All right, look, I appreciate you being here.
00:50:03And the last thing I'm going to do is ever blow smoke or waste your time.
00:50:06I know all this made you an offer on Friday, but I've got to be honest.
00:50:11The ruler needs a flagship.
00:50:14Here's my contract.
00:50:15I don't need an answer right now.
00:50:17I want you to look over it.
00:50:18I'm sure he made you a great offer.
00:50:20Mine's better.
00:50:21I guarantee that.
00:50:23We'll see.
00:50:25I do need time to decide.
00:50:27Take all the time you need.
00:50:29I appreciate it.
00:50:56Backlash is coming to Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida, Saturday, May 9th.

00:51:05Get your tickets during an exclusive pre-sale starting this Thursday, February 19th, using the code WWETICS.
00:51:13Well, coming up next, an interview that I conducted earlier today with the Women's Royal Rumble winner, Liv Morgan.
00:51:20I asked you the question, who do you pick for WrestleMania?
00:51:23The answer, very interesting.
00:51:27That's next.
00:51:37Yeah.
00:51:38Hi, Triple H.
00:51:39Mania Pitches just came in.
00:51:40Top of your inbox.
00:51:41I will take a look now.
00:51:45This should be interesting.
00:51:49Hey, Paul.
00:51:50Peyton Manning.
00:51:50Hey, Paul.
00:51:51What's going on, man?
00:51:52John Berto here.
00:51:53Hey, what's up, Triple H?
00:51:54Triple H.
00:51:56It's Eric Andre.
00:51:58What are we looking to see, bro?
00:51:59Bonjour, Mr. Levesque.
00:52:00Here's my pitch.
00:52:01It's a little different.
00:52:01Get out of here.
00:52:02This is what I'm thinking.
00:52:03Eli and I tag team at WrestleMania.
00:52:05What I'm interested in is Dom Mysterio, the musical.
00:52:11Seriously.
00:52:12I've already shown everybody what I can do at the world's most famous arena.
00:52:14Imagine what I can do at WrestleMania 42.
00:52:16What's the right way for me to come back?
00:52:18I don't think it's on the court necessarily.
00:52:19I think it's in the ring.
00:52:21At Legion Stadium, big boat comes in.
00:52:23I walk away as the new women's champion.
00:52:27Starting to regret asking for these.
00:52:29I'm going to bring the ultimate energy.
00:52:31Let's go, baby.
00:52:31Here we go.
00:52:32I'll wipe the mat with his greasy ass hair.
00:52:34Can you just tell him my email's down?
00:52:35Triple H.
00:52:36You little f***ing sissy.
00:52:38Let me know when I can come wrestle.
00:52:40I like to t***.
00:52:42Is that even legal?
00:52:44Are we on a video here?
00:52:45What's happening?
00:52:46We're challenging him to play at WrestleMania.
00:52:48Oh, s***.
00:52:48He's great.
00:52:49He's got his offer.
00:52:50I am your man.
00:52:51I stand by.
00:52:51Put me in, Paul.
00:52:52Let me shock the world.
00:52:53Let's try it out.
00:52:54Woo!
00:52:55He's back in Vegas.
00:53:00Dude, it's going to be a long road to WrestleMania.
00:53:07Okay.
00:53:27All right.
00:53:29Memphis, it's time for time of the night.
00:53:36Let's go.
00:53:38Let the feel signs up end up on the big screen.
00:53:42Go worldwide.
00:53:44Show us what Memphis got.
00:53:48AJ Lee, we got Monday Night Reals.
00:53:54What does that say?
00:53:55I gave my wife some money.
00:53:59Oh, all right.
00:54:00All right, we'll see what we can make happen here.
00:54:03Oh, hell, the ring general.
00:54:05That's my baby.
00:54:06The only person here in the building saying that.
00:54:10CM Hook, our first Monday Night Raw.
00:54:14Welcome to everybody.
00:54:45Well, earlier today, our very own Michael Cole was able to sit down with the winner of the 2026 Women's
00:54:51Royal Rumble match.
00:54:52None other than Liv Morgan.
00:54:56I'm so excited.
00:54:57I mean, WrestleMania.
00:54:59Who are you going to pick?
00:55:02Dominic.
00:55:03Hi.
00:55:04It's another big piece of the puzzle here.
00:55:05I didn't expect you to come.
00:55:07Hi.
00:55:07I don't know who invited you, but nonetheless, let me ask you the question.
00:55:11Who are you going to pick to face for the title at WrestleMania?
00:55:14Michael, not even any small talk.
00:55:16But it's okay, because I have decided, and what I've decided is I am not going to arrest this decision.
00:55:25Are you kidding me?
00:55:26I am having so fun watching everyone scramble, trying to figure out who I'm going to pick.
00:55:31So I think I'm going to take a little longer to decide.
00:55:34And plus, Michael, I did not grind for 10 years to let this moment pass me by, okay?
00:55:40I am going to take my time and make...
00:55:43Hello.
00:55:44Excuse me, can I help you?
00:55:46We're kind of in the middle of something.
00:55:47It's great.
00:55:48You said 10 years.
00:55:49You're a hard work?
00:55:50You talking about hard work?
00:55:52What the hell do you say, Liv?
00:55:55Of course you've worked.
00:55:56You've never sacrificed anything.
00:55:59You've all given you, W.W.
00:56:00You started your career here.
00:56:02You've never sacrificed anything.
00:56:02You've got the best doctors.
00:56:04You've got the best trainers.
00:56:05You've got everything.
00:56:06You want to talk about sacrifice?
00:56:08Do you want to talk about sacrifice?
00:56:09Of course you've sacrificed.
00:56:10Don't talk to my little girl like that.
00:56:12I was born in Chile, a country where there's no free struggle.
00:56:15And even so I'm a griffin for all the world.
00:56:18Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe.
00:56:21I conquered everything.
00:56:23Everything.
00:56:24She has conquered more.
00:56:26You should be embarrassed.
00:56:28You should be embarrassed.
00:56:30I know.
00:56:31You're behind a man.
00:56:33She doesn't hide behind anyone.
00:56:34You need to hide behind your husband.
00:56:37But I'm going to tell you something.
00:56:40I've gone through the hell and I did it for you.
00:56:45Just to reach W.W.E. and be a champion.
00:56:49This shirt, for me, means more than a simple shirt.
00:56:54It's for all the girls and women who haven't had the opportunity.
00:57:00And yet they've achieved it.
00:57:04Liv, if you choose me, you're not going to win.
00:57:11Because I'm going to teach you what a real champion is.
00:57:18She's going to show you what a real champion looks like.
00:57:21You should be embarrassed.
00:57:24Excuse me, Liv.
00:57:27Excuse me, Dom.
00:57:29It might not be the time, but...
00:57:31Definitely not the time.
00:57:33She's going to be sleeping.
00:57:34Come here.
00:57:52Michael Cole not getting the answers he had hoped for.
00:57:59From the women's world champion to the world heavyweight champion,
00:58:05the best in the world is in Memphis.
00:59:01Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the world heavyweight champion.
00:59:21The world heavyweight champion is here, live next.
00:59:44covering the world heavyweight champion.
00:59:48Thanks for listening.
00:59:52Thanks for listening.
00:59:55Bye.
01:00:00Thanks for listening.
01:00:03Let's go to snow and end up me
01:00:09I love the personality
01:00:13I love the personality
01:00:15I love the personality
01:00:18I love the personality
01:00:31I love the personality
01:00:33I love the personality
01:00:41Hello my friend
01:01:04I love the personality
01:01:06I love the personality
01:01:14Hey I love the personality
01:01:19I love the personality
01:02:45And you can hear the cult of personality playing in the background for the world heavyweight champion, CM Punk, who
01:02:53a week from Saturday in his hometown of Chicago will defend the world heavyweight championship against Finn Balor.
01:03:24Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Memphis, Tennessee?
01:03:35It feels like you guys are happy to see me.
01:03:41So welcome change from being backstage.
01:03:43The office is not happy to see me.
01:03:46Adam Pearce, in particular, says that I'm jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania.
01:03:54Yeah, boo Adam Pearce.
01:03:59CM Punk versus Roman Reigns.
01:04:02Now, that's a big deal, but I don't think I'm jeopardizing it.
01:04:04In fact, I think I'm doing what I've always done, and that's just make everything better.
01:04:11Sports franchises will qualify for the playoffs.
01:04:15That does not mean they get to not show up and play regular season games.
01:04:21I've talked a lot since I won this championship about deserves and earns, and I think you people deserve a
01:04:30fighting champion.
01:04:34I think Finn Balor deserved a title shot a month back in Belfast because of who he is and what
01:04:42he's done.
01:04:43And now, in a couple weeks in Chicago at Elimination Chamber, he's getting another shot, not because he deserves it.
01:04:52It's because he's earned it.
01:04:54He's earned these fists, and he's earned this ass-beating I'm about to give him.
01:05:01He jumped me in Toronto a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, I can say this now, he ruined what is
01:05:08the last time I will be able to share a ring with the phenomenal one, AJ Styles.
01:05:15So he's earned a beating, but the office is mad about it.
01:05:20I'm putting the main event of WrestleMania in jeopardy, but I'm a man who does and says things a lot
01:05:26of the time
01:05:26that pisses people off.
01:05:30I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't occasionally say things or do things that piss people off.
01:05:36I don't think you people would love me if I didn't do things or say things that piss people off.
01:05:46I wouldn't be what I am if I did not defend this championship every single chance I got.
01:05:53And what I am, Memphis, Tennessee, is the best in the world.
01:05:59It's not Roman Reigns.
01:06:02It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:05It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:06It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:08It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:17It's Finn Balor.
01:06:20It's Finn Balor.
01:06:20It's Finn Balor.
01:06:22It's Finn Balor.
01:06:25It's Finn Balor.
01:06:26It's Finn Balor.
01:06:26It's Finn Balor.
01:06:27It's Finn Balor.
01:06:27It's Finn Balor.
01:06:28It's Finn Balor.
01:06:28It's Finn Balor.
01:06:28It's Finn Balor.
01:06:29It's Finn Balor.
01:06:33It's Finn Balor.
01:06:36It's Finn Balor.
01:06:38It's Finn Balor.
01:06:55Well, obviously, Finn did not come alone.
01:06:58Judgment Day, brethren, Dominic Mysterio.
01:07:03Oh, look who's back.
01:07:06J.D. McDonough.
01:07:08The Irish ace.
01:07:19Balor has backup, and this does not look good for the world heavyweight champion.
01:07:25Well, Punk understands that, and he's ready.
01:07:26This is a predicament for the world champion.
01:07:29This is the problem, Corey.
01:07:30This is why everybody was questioning why Punk took this match.
01:07:35Winning an opportunity to be a part of the greatest main event in WrestleMania history.
01:07:38That could go, that could all go away.
01:07:42It very well may in Chicago with a laser-focused Finn Balor looking to dethrone CM Punk.
01:07:51It could all begin tonight in Memphis.
01:07:54Punk is under fire.
01:07:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, relax, Punk.
01:07:59Relax, don't worry.
01:08:00You're not in any trouble.
01:08:02We didn't come out here to fight.
01:08:06I just came out here to make one thing crystal clear.
01:08:21To be the best in the world, you've got to train with the best catch wrestlers in Europe.
01:08:27To be the best in the world, you've got to learn from the best luchadors in Mexico.
01:08:34To be the best in the world, you have to survive the toughest dojos in Japan.
01:08:43And to be the best in the world, you've got to show up your first night on Raw and beat
01:08:49Roman Reigns.
01:08:57So, by definition, the best in the world is standing right in front of you.
01:09:11And in Chicago, at Elimination Chamber, when I beat you for that championship, I'm not jeopardizing the main event of
01:09:22WrestleMania.
01:09:23No.
01:09:25The real best in the world is making it better.
01:09:56So, what are these two idiots doing here?
01:09:59See, I know who you are.
01:10:03I'm sorry, I misspoke.
01:10:05I know who you were.
01:10:08All those great things you did.
01:10:11The reason I gave you a shot for this in Belfast.
01:10:15But something I noticed about all those great things you did.
01:10:18You did it by yourself.
01:10:23I didn't see Judgment Day by your side in those European dojos or the Japan dojos or when you were
01:10:30taking on all the great luchadors in Mexico.
01:10:32No.
01:10:35You used to mean something, man.
01:10:42I think everybody here in Memphis can agree that Judgment Day has been an anchor around your neck for a
01:10:52very, very long time.
01:10:53And I could say that somebody as skilled as you would bring them up to your level, but they've only
01:11:00dragged you down to theirs.
01:11:02I mean, look at this idiot.
01:11:07He's wearing two titles and never defends them.
01:11:09And this guy needs help getting in the ring because his head's so big.
01:11:22I'll allow it.
01:11:33I've been accused of being a smart man that does dumb things.
01:11:37And what I'm about to do may be really, really stupid, but I don't believe for a second that the
01:11:41three of you didn't have a plan to come out here and jump me.
01:11:44And some things are out of my control.
01:11:55So go ahead, Finn.
01:11:57JD.
01:12:00Little Mysterio, you want to jump me?
01:12:02You want to prove everybody right?
01:12:04That I'm going to jeopardize the main event of WrestleMania?
01:12:08But you're also going to jeopardize your shot at Elimination Chamber of being the champion.
01:12:12You say you're the best in the world?
01:12:14I know I'm the best in the world, and I don't need everybody's help to prove it.
01:12:20Maybe.
01:12:22Maybe you do.
01:12:25Maybe you do.
01:12:26Maybe you do.
01:12:48An interesting dilemma, Corey, for Finn Balor.
01:12:52What does he do a week from Saturday?
01:12:55We will have our answer in Chicago.
01:12:57It seems as though CM Punk stirred up something within valor
01:13:01that might have been lying dormant for a little too long.
01:13:03Yeah, that is CM Punk perhaps jeopardizing one of the great main events
01:13:09in WrestleMania history.
01:13:11Hey, we want to switch gears and remind everyone that Friday night SmackDown
01:13:14will be seen over on SyFy this coming Friday night because of the Olympics.
01:13:18And we're going to have two more Elimination Chamber qualifying matchups on SmackDown.
01:13:23Speaking of SmackDown, what about this last past Friday night
01:13:27when Rhea Ripley and EO Sky defended the tag titles against Lash Legend and Nia Jax?
01:13:31I thought you'd never ask.
01:13:32The tag team championship matchup would descend into absolute chaos at ringside.
01:13:38Rhea Ripley, Lash Legend, Nia Jax, and EO Sky all dropping heavy artillery on one another.
01:13:45Here you see EO potentially save Rhea's career.
01:13:48But then EO herself would take to the skies to drive Nia through the table.
01:13:54Rhea through the barricade.
01:13:56An absolute melee in the tag team division.
01:13:59Let's send it up to our own Byron Saxton with the champs.
01:14:03Thank you so much, Corey.
01:14:04As you said, I'd like to welcome in the women's tag team champions, Rhea Ripley and EO Sky.
01:14:12Rhea, EO, I think the both of you have the most difficult road to WrestleMania out of everyone.
01:14:18You saw the footage on SmackDown of your tag team title defense against Lash Legend and Nia Jax.
01:14:23Rhea, you qualified for the Elimination Chamber last week.
01:14:27And EO, you also have the same opportunity next week.
01:14:30How in the world are you both holding it together?
01:14:34Look, the road to WrestleMania, it's always a battle.
01:14:37And this Friday, it was no exception.
01:14:40Nia and Lash, they thought that they could just take our women's tag team championships.
01:14:45But they got a little bit carried away.
01:14:48And they failed.
01:14:50All they managed to do was turn up the heat.
01:14:52So it's time for us to put them out.
01:14:54Nia and Lash, we'll be ready as far as Elimination Chamber.
01:15:05Elimination Chamber is over.
01:15:10Do you know why?
01:15:12Asuka is in the chamber.
01:15:38Don't get it!
01:15:44You are not ready for the chamber.
01:15:51Don't get it!
01:15:55Heidi?
01:15:57Heidi?
01:15:59Heidi!
01:16:07That is the strangest relationship.
01:16:10I can't disagree with you.
01:16:13This dude's strange too.
01:16:17By strange, do you mean mythically fantastic?
01:16:22The Broadway is an Intercontinental Championship number one contenders match.
01:16:30Introducing first, accompanied by Los Americanos from the Gulf of America,
01:16:39El Grande Americano!
01:16:44These uncultured swine in Memphis knew anything about El Grande Americano that realized the magnitude of this moment.
01:16:50This would be like Elvis himself walking to the ring in Mexico.
01:16:53We still don't know who he's going to face in this number one contenders match.
