00:00:22So what are these two idiots doing here?
00:00:25See, I know who you are.
00:00:30I'm sorry, I misspoke.
00:00:31I know who you were.
00:00:34All those great things you did, the reason I gave you a shot for this in Belfast,
00:00:40but something I noticed about all those great things you did, you did it by yourself.
00:00:49I didn't see Judgment Day by your side in those European dojos or the Japan dojos or when you were
00:00:55taking
00:00:56on all the great luchadors in Mexico.
00:00:58No.
00:01:01You used to mean something, man.
00:01:08And I think everybody here in Memphis can agree that Judgment Day has been an anchor around
00:01:17your neck for a very, very long time.
00:01:19And I could say that somebody as skilled as you would bring them up to your level, but
00:01:25they've only dragged you down to theirs.
00:01:28I mean, look at this idiot.
00:01:32He's wearing two titles and never defends them.
00:01:35And this guy needs help getting in the ring because his head's so big.
00:01:48And I'll allow it.
00:01:59I've been accused of being a smart man that does dumb things, and what I'm about to do
00:02:04may be really, really stupid.
00:02:05But I don't believe for a second that the three of you didn't have a plan to come out
00:02:09here and jump me.
00:02:10And some things are out of my control.
00:02:21So go ahead, Finn.
00:02:23JD.
00:02:26Little Mysterio, you want to jump me?
00:02:28You want to prove everybody right?
00:02:30That I'm going to jeopardize the main event of WrestleMania?
00:02:33But you're also going to jeopardize your shot at Elimination Chamber of being the champion.
00:02:38You say you're the best in the world?
00:02:40I know I'm the best in the world, and I don't need everybody's help to prove it.
00:02:48Maybe, maybe you do.
00:02:49A little bit.
00:02:50A little bit.
00:03:02You're the best in the world.
00:03:14an interesting dilemma Corey for Finn Balor what does he do a week from Saturday we will have our
00:03:21answer in Chicago it seems as though CM Punk stirred up something within valor that might
00:03:27have been lying dormant for a little too long perhaps jeopardizing one of the great main event
00:03:34one of the great main events in WrestleMania history hey we want to switch gears and remind
00:03:38everyone that Friday night Smackdown will be seen over on sci-fi this coming Friday night because
00:03:43of the Olympics and we're gonna have two more Elimination Chamber qualifying matchups on
00:03:49Smackdown speaking of Smackdown what about this last past Friday night when Rhea Ripley and Eos
00:03:54Sky defended the tag titles against Lash Legend and Nia Jax I thought you'd never ask the tag
00:03:59team championship matchup would descend into absolute chaos at ringside Rhea Ripley Lash
00:04:05Legend Nia Jax and Eos Sky all dropping heavy artillery on one another here you see Eos potentially
00:04:13save Rhea's career but then Eos herself would take to the skies to drive Nia through the table
00:04:20Rhea through the barricade an absolute melee in the tag team division let's send it up to our
00:04:26own Byron Saxton with the champs thank you so much Corey as you said I'd like to welcome in the
00:04:31women's
00:04:31tag team champions Rhea Ripley and Eos Sky
00:04:38Rhea Eos I think the both of you have the most difficult road to WrestleMania out of everyone
00:04:44you saw the footage on Smackdown your tag team title defense against Lash Legend and Nia Jax
00:04:49Rhea you qualified for the Elimination Chamber last week and Eo you also have the same opportunity next
00:04:55week how in the world are you both holding it together look the road to WrestleMania it's always
00:05:02a battle and this Friday it was no exception Nia and Lash they thought that they could just take
00:05:08our women's tag team championships but I got a little bit carried away and they failed all they
00:05:16managed to do was turn up the heat so it's time for us to put them out Nia and Lash
00:05:23are
00:05:23ready as far as Elimination Chamber
00:05:31Elimination Chamber is open do you know why Oscar is in the chamber and we will make sure you guys
00:05:47never win hey I don't know no no no I mean I mean I mean I mean we will make
00:05:58sure Oscar is champion
00:06:06you know you are not ready for the chamber
00:06:16okay
00:06:21Heidi Heidi
00:06:24Heidi
00:06:33that is the strangest relationship I can't disagree with you this dude strange too
00:06:42by strange do you mean mythically fantastic
00:06:48the Broadway is an intercontinental championship number one contenders match introducing first
00:06:57a company by Los Americanos from the Gulf of America
00:07:05the United States
00:07:09the United States
00:07:10the United States
00:07:10these uncultured swine in Memphis knew anything about El Grande Americana that realized the magnitude of this moment
00:07:16this would be like Elvis himself walking to the ring in Mexico
00:07:19we still don't know who he's gonna face in this number one contenders match
00:07:38well there they are folks el grande americano and his buddies ryo and bravo well listen the
00:07:48original el grande americano who finds himself in a qualifying match for the elimination
00:07:52chamber next week basically said that he's the victim of identity theft utilizing artificial
00:08:00intelligence well that's what you say and that's what they're saying online i'm not quite sure look
00:08:06you can call yourself the original whatever we are looking at the authentic el grande americano
00:08:12so says an entire nation well if that's the case then one of them should probably be from the gulf
00:08:18of america and the other from the gulf of mexico right for differentiation purposes perhaps but
00:08:23i mean this is like going to raise pizza in new york one's authentic one's real there's only one
00:08:28so you're buying into the fact that this dude in the ring right now is the is the authentic
00:08:41see
00:08:43primero como siempre quiero preguntar cuántos de mis paisanos están aquí esta noche
00:08:59¡Órale! ¡Viva México, cabrones!

00:09:17Oh, lo siento, ¿por qué?
00:09:21You people have no culture.

00:11:01got some breaking news you know one of the featured characters in the new game
00:11:05the playable character el grande americano this is spectacular news wwe 2k 26 a global phenomenon
00:11:13why not have the hottest star in all of lucha libre el grande americano as a playable character
00:11:21in the game i could not be more excited he's about to have a match to determine the number
00:11:26one contender for dominic mysterio's intercontinental championship question is
00:11:29who is his opponent
00:11:41oh yeah
00:11:43uh-oh
00:11:53oh
00:12:13and his opponent from east of the past mexico weighing in for 87 kilos
00:12:25i don't know what el grande americano thinks of the fact that he has to go one-on-one with
00:12:30penta tonight well i'm sure americano feels downright disrespected not only by penta but
00:12:37adam pierce in particular but i assure you el grande americano is up for any challenge wait
00:12:42why would he be disrespected by adam pierce pierce gave him an opportunity to earn an
00:12:47intercontinental championship shot yes with a caveat having to face a mystery opponent americano
00:12:52has not had sufficient time to prepare for someone as dynamic as penta he's been in the
00:12:58ring with penta before and so he's already understands some of the moveset of the spectacular
00:13:05penta if you have one wrestlemania match now all of a sudden you're an expert in in-ring
00:13:10strategy okay cole well we are in memphis you remember who i beat at mania right
00:13:16listen i saw you uh backstage uh in mid conversation with penta earlier today i did because i am a
00:13:23broadcast journalist michael cole and i did my due diligence because
00:13:28for all of penta's success in wwe this young man is still shrouded in mystery i asked quite simply
00:13:35who is penta what makes penta what does zero miedo truly mean and penta explained to me it's been a
00:13:43motto of his since he was quite literally starving on the streets of mexico penta believes lucha libre
00:13:50saved his life it gave him his only path to success which is why he takes it so seriously
00:13:55and penta also told me the very first time he ever put on a sacred lucha libre mask
00:14:00he felt like a superhero like a different being all together one with zero fear that is how we got
00:14:08here that is what penta represents and that's a great story as matchup gets underway because you
00:14:13have to wonder what penta thinks of el grande americano and los americanos who many believe are
00:14:17making a mockery of the whole lucha libre tradition well penta is a proud mexican and i assure you if
00:14:23anybody understands the international phenomenon that is el grande americano it's the man with zero
00:14:29fear with that said penta understands that americano is standing between himself and an opportunity
00:14:35at dirty dom's intercontinental championship and as much as we make fun of el grande americano and
00:14:40the original el grande el grande americano a tremendous athlete who's actually taken mexico by storm in
00:14:46a truly international phenomenon you can catch oh triple a saturday nights on wwe's youtube channel
00:14:54some of the oh backstabber fastest paced ice flying action in the world and my partner cory graves
00:15:01calling all the action and now penta street board runs right into el grande americano what a collision
00:15:10important turning point in this matchup who's going to get an opportunity at dominic
00:15:14in the intercontinental title time to regroup for these two men who were just involved in a
00:15:20vicious collision again dominic mysterio the current intercontinental champion and triple a mega
00:15:28champion to that point this matchup could have international implications dirty dom being the
00:15:33reigning triple a mega champion got a contract signing with his opponent le hotel v kingo coming up
00:15:41this saturday night and that big ray de reyes tournament's coming up as well right beautiful city of
00:15:47puebla very excited to find out who will hoist the sacred sword and be crowned ray de reyes
00:15:55the original agrande americano involved well original by his declaration again there's still
00:16:03questions to be answered many people would call that americano you call original uh el rudo americano
00:16:12he's a bad guy so i don't think rudo means rude but a rudo is is is a bad guy
00:16:18oh got it okay
00:16:19stay with miracle and now penta with the body shots to el grande americano i didn't know this was
00:16:25monday night remedial lucha education you're the one giving it and a big forearm as well from
00:16:31el grande oh catches penta with a right snap merit takedown both of these men have had a history with
00:16:40dominic el grande as a tag partner now listen if you really respected lucha libre you wouldn't be
00:16:45trying to take the mask off penta here i don't know if i have a counter for that argument cole
00:16:51because
00:16:51that is the ultimate disrespect in the world of lucha libre and penta was just about to expose the world
00:16:58to who this imposter really is
00:17:09ryo and bravo hatching some sort of plan at the behest of el grande americano penta better keep his eyes
00:17:17in the back of his head yeah ryo uh trying to get involved and it allows el grande americano to
00:17:23take
00:17:23control cover hook of the way kick out at two
00:17:31the confidence and elegance with which el grande americano competes so well versed in so many
00:17:37different styles much like finn baller was discussing earlier this is a man who's highly
00:17:41skilled in european catch wrestling as well as the fine art of lucha libre there's actually a lot
00:17:46of parallels between the two including the fact that both have cronies outside the ring trying to help
00:17:50win i really wish you would put a little bit more respect on the names of ryo and bravo americano
00:17:56i was talking about jd and dom as well
00:18:11the winner of this match will get a future opportunity at dominic mysterio's intercontinental
00:18:17championship el grande americano one-on-one with penta penta now from the top body connects
00:18:24and now penta they're going to pick up the pace and build some momentum nice kick to the back of
00:18:28the leg and here's penta now sling blade delivered to el grande it's like something was awakened within
00:18:35penta he was mentioning this to me earlier it takes him a minute he he has to feel like he's
00:18:39in a fight
00:18:39it makes him feel alive that's when penta shines the brightest well he's in a fight right now and oh
00:18:45right to the midsection of el grande americano penta cup is it an opportunity to face dominic mysterio and a
00:18:51kick
00:18:51a two you know penta has had his sights set on the intercontinental championship for quite some time
00:18:59this could be the opportunity he has been waiting for dating back to last year penta so close on a
00:19:06number of occasions this could do it looking for the penta driver countered by el grande americano
00:19:14oh planted face first and now la carbonaria the submission hold is stitched in
00:19:20this could do it is penta going to tap out here nowhere to go in the middle of the ring
00:19:25penta luckily able to free his legs pinning combination and did he get him to count so close
00:19:34oh and a death valley driver connecting cover now hook of the leg almost had him again and another
00:19:41near fall perhaps americano got a little too overconfident in his pinfall attempt
00:19:48it may have cost el grande a chance to become intercontinental champion
00:19:55and now penta dragged back to his feet el grande delivering a chop again the winner to face mysterio for
00:20:02the intercontinental title another chop by el grande americano
00:20:06look at the athleticism of americano ripped off the ropes by penta
00:20:12again penta the driver the penta driver and somehow el grande kicked out wow i can't believe he just kicked
00:20:24out there
00:20:25i don't know if anybody is as shocked as penta who just connected with his home run shot the penta
00:20:34driver
00:20:35you got to give a lot of credit to el grande americano there you certainly do
00:20:40great display of guts and toughness penta looking for the mexican destroyer
00:20:46wait a minute rio getting involved kick to the face
00:20:50you know grande with a headbutt cover hook to the leg shoulders down this time penta kicks out
00:21:01what if he's got that steel plate this match i would imagine not

00:26:28oh poverty because these people are so poor that makes so much sense
00:26:31extremely poor

00:27:29and all of you
00:27:30understand
00:27:31understand
00:28:00me
00:28:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome A.J. Lee!
00:28:25Speaking of Elimination Chamber, a week from Saturday,
00:28:28A.J. Lee in her hometown of Chicago.
00:28:31Her first singles match in a decade, first title match in 11 years
00:28:36as she battles big-time Bex for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:28:42By the way, congratulations on that award you won earlier today, Cole.
00:28:45Yeah, I did. I won the most lying announcer in history.
00:28:50That's a Bexie.
00:28:5229 people voted.
00:28:54Wow.
00:28:56You should have a newsletter.
00:29:07Last week, I walked in for moral support.
00:29:13And I walked out of Raw as the number one contender
00:29:17for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:29:23And I had my fun getting under Becky's skin.
00:29:26It's so easy to do.
00:29:28But she reminded me that this is serious business
00:29:31when she smashed my face into that post.
00:29:36And this is serious business because
00:29:41I haven't had a singles match in over a decade.
00:29:46And let alone a shot at a title.
00:29:52Because the last time I had a title around my waist,
00:29:56this division looked a little different.
00:29:58All we had to fight for was one sparkly pink butterfly.
00:30:06But I loved that title and I wore that title proudly because I made that title.
00:30:22Yeah, I'm not modest.
00:30:23I know exactly who the hell I am.
00:30:29There is a women's division before AJ Lee and there is a women's division after.
00:30:42And I still want to get my hands on every single one of you.
00:30:51I want to fight Bayley and Lyra and Rhea and Io and the Kabuki Warriors and Judgment Day and Charlotte
00:31:03and Alexa.
00:31:04The best of the very best.
00:31:07But for now, all roads lead back to Becky.
00:31:17And I don't know why she's so mad at me.
00:31:21She's mad that I came back.
00:31:23She's mad that my merch does better.
00:31:26She's mad that you guys like me more.
00:31:33But it ain't my fault.
00:31:36Because I gave the girl a 10-year head start and she still hasn't caught up.
00:31:45But I'm not mad at Becky.
00:31:48No, I'm grateful.
00:31:50Because she gave me a gift.
00:31:53Without Becky, maybe I wouldn't have even come back into this ring to prove that I can still go.
00:31:58And maybe without Becky, I wouldn't have a chance to show that I can still be a champion.
00:32:14And if I walk out of Chicago victorious, then I'm sure as hell going to walk into WrestleMania as the
00:32:22Intercontinental Champion.
00:32:31And since I know you're here and you gave me such a sweet gift last week, Becky Boo Boo, if
00:32:39you want to come on out to this ring, I got something for that ass.
00:33:02Becky Boo Boo, don't you start, Cole.
00:33:07This woman is an intergalactic superstar.
00:33:12She's a star in Solar System they haven't even discovered yet.
00:33:18This respect is off the charts.
00:33:29You actually think that this is an opportunity to have an AJ Lee title run?
00:33:35You think that is what this is?
00:33:39No, no, no, a boo-boo.
00:33:42No, no, this is an opportunity to gather all of your friends, all of your family, any people that are
00:33:51dumb enough to like you in Chicago and give you a send-off.
00:33:56Give you the retirement match that you never had and honestly that you never deserved.
00:34:06And let them, let them cry tears while I push away your hearse.
00:34:12Okay?
00:34:13Because you're right, you are right.
00:34:15There was a division before AJ Lee and there was one after and your gift was leaving.
00:34:23Because for the last 10 years, I've been making history and you, you've been making comic books.
00:34:37But, but here's, here's one for you.
00:34:40Here's one.
00:34:40If you miraculously make it through Elimination Chamber, you can, you can dictate to your computer because you're going to
00:34:47be in a full body cast.
00:34:49And you can, you can dictate about the one time that you went face-to-face one-on-one with
00:34:55the greatest of all time.
00:34:56And it's not just me saying it, other people are saying it, everybody says it, Sports Illustrated says it, The
00:35:02Bleacher Report says it.
00:35:03Okay, and maybe, maybe that comic book would actually sell.
00:35:13All right, all right, okay.
00:35:16We can save the title match for Chicago, but why don't you come into this ring, theme of the night.
00:35:23Come into this ring and we can throw hands right now.
00:35:31Just for the hell of it, here in Memphis, let's go, Becky Boo Boo.

00:45:31to say probably nonetheless want to remind everyone friday night smackdown a couple of qualifying matches
00:45:35for the elimination chamber it's over on sci-fi due to the olympics right now let's take a look at
00:45:42our
00:45:42main event coming up next my focus is solely on tonight when i step in the ring march forward
00:45:52to elimination chamber and be one step closer of being the wwe champion at wrestlemania javon
00:46:00evans and gunther should be absolutely terrified to face the king of the luchadores your triple a
00:46:09mega campeon and intercontinental champion dirty dominic mysterio dominic mysterio and gunther
00:46:16isn't ready for the night but you know who is the young og now i'm also ready to pull up
00:46:21to
00:46:21elimination chamber and get the dub over there and main event wrestlemania and once i do that
00:46:26everybody's gonna know especially at wrestlemania and everybody's gonna say it with me that that
00:46:31boy is bouncy after i win tonight i will go ahead and handle business at elimination chamber
00:46:39and i will proceed to collect more gold for the judgment day at wrestlemania i killed the careers of
00:46:47many of wwe's greatest of all time but that's not enough for me
00:46:59your boy is bouncy
00:47:04yeah
00:47:11let's go
00:47:20the
00:47:27the following is the men's elimination chamber
00:47:37the
00:47:47i still cannot get out of my mind the og cutter that this young man delivered last week on monday
00:47:55night
00:47:55one of the most spectacular things i've ever witnessed once upon a time i had a tag partner they said
00:48:00gravity forgot i don't know that javon evans knew gravity existed in the first
00:48:04place this young man is absolutely breathtaking and let's take a look at what happened i still don't know how
00:48:10he pulled this off
00:48:11well bravo americano had designs on delivering a splash to el grande americano who was in the center of the
00:48:18ring
00:48:18you won't see it because the action
00:48:20the action is about 10 feet above it in the sky mid-air og cutter one of the most spectacular
00:48:27maneuvers i have ever seen executed in my life how do you even time that i mean that is
00:48:34insanity
00:48:35like anti-aircraft missiles
00:48:51we'll see how the death-defying athleticism of the young og serves him tonight in this triple threat it sounds
00:48:59like memphis is ready to get bouncy
00:49:09what an opportunity for javon evans to qualify for his first chamber match here tonight but here's one of the
00:49:17men
00:49:17stands in his way
00:49:41next from vienna austria
00:49:46weighing in for 250 pounds
00:49:51the ring killer
00:49:53cool turn
00:49:56the career killer
00:49:59gunther
00:50:01he'll join javon evans and dominic mysterio
00:50:04triple threat match to determine who heads to the chamber a week from saturday
00:50:08it's next
00:50:30the man who has not been pinned since summer slam early last august the man who has retired goldberg john
00:50:41cena and aj styles
00:50:47it's almost like gunther something of a vampire he kills these careers and absorbs their essence and continues to grow
00:50:54stronger more dominant night after night after night you know
00:51:00gunther's never been in the elimination chamber i'm just thinking about how dangerous this man will be inside that structure
00:51:07if he wins tonight
00:51:10gunther is absolutely ruthless it's not about moments and memories for the ring general
00:51:15it's about wins championships and money period
00:51:27one of the most frightening individuals
00:51:32believe me i've been
00:51:36scared by this man on a number of occasions
00:51:42you better mind your tongue michael cole because i'm not getting beat up and choked out by this man like
00:51:47your last friend
00:51:47well i'll tell you i i have i have nothing to say negative about this man after what he's accomplished
00:51:53over the past few months listen you might not like the way he goes about things you might not like
00:51:58the way he carries himself back for these wins
00:52:00but there's no denying the people that he has retired here in wwe
00:52:05but cole i'm gonna be perfectly honest with you as somebody who has watched this business my entire life
00:52:10for me gunther is the best professional wrestler on the planet earth
00:52:16i agree with you one hundred percent we talk all the time about how we enjoy calling this man's matches
00:52:42and the opponent representing the judgment day
00:52:50he is the triple a mega
00:52:54and intercontinental championing
00:52:58garty
00:52:59dom on next
00:53:03mysterio
00:53:04cory it's been an eventful might for dom he translated an interview between lib and stephanie
00:53:09he now knows that he has a number one contender in penta for his intercontinental title
00:53:19champion the triple a mega champion dirty dominic mysterio now part as a playable character of wwe 2k26
00:53:27what an honor to see the king of the luchadores represented in digital form dirty dom in 2k26 the only
00:53:36thing better seeing it live and in living color
00:53:39here
00:53:39el masucio de los sucios
00:53:42the dirtiest of the dirty
00:53:44the double champion
00:53:46and quite the night for dominic we saw him translate for live morgan in that sit down interview with
00:53:52stephanie vicarra earlier tonight which is available now translated on wwe's social media website we now know
00:53:58that dominic mysterio will face penta sometime down the road for the intercontinental title
00:54:02well dirty dom understandably has a great deal on his shoulders tonight
00:54:06he's worried about the mental well-being of his werita
00:54:09he's worried about
00:54:10entering the elimination he's worried about finn balor
00:54:14worried about not having backup tonight
00:54:18well if anybody can overcome that sort of adversity
00:54:21it's the king of the luchadores
00:54:23let's not forget this is dominic's first match in a few months
00:54:26because he was out with a shoulder injury
00:54:29so gonna be interesting to see how dominic responds
00:54:31he's had some run-ins with gunther in the past
00:54:34triple threat rules no count out
00:54:36no disqualification first man to gain
00:54:39pink fall our submission will join
00:54:40randy orton l.a knight and
00:54:43cody rhodes as part of the
00:54:45six-man field for the elimination chamber
00:54:52and we are underway
00:54:53javon evans who's had quite
00:54:55the first few months of the monday night raw
00:54:57he was the iron man of the rumble match this year
00:54:59lasted over 40 minutes
00:55:01now we'd love to qualify for his first
00:55:03chamber
00:55:05i love the the youthful indiscretion
00:55:07of javon evans this
00:55:09young man feels like oh
00:55:10playing with house money night after night
00:55:12after night and all javon evans
00:55:15does is make incredible
00:55:17moments lately and now dirty dom
00:55:19says let me take advantage
00:55:21yeah and then he runs away
00:55:23but they're smart though i will agree with dom
00:55:25on that point
00:55:26i'm helping you out
00:55:29i'm helping you out
00:55:35now javon evans
00:55:36taking advantage you know what just dawned on me cole
00:55:39if dom wins tonight
00:55:41and then heads to the chamber
00:55:43and wins
00:55:44it goes to wrestlemania
00:55:46dirty dom could be a triple champion
00:55:49and now look at this boston crab
00:55:52applied to javon evans
00:55:53and a chop by dominic mysterio
00:55:55i'm not sure that was wise
00:55:56but yeah i get your point because if dom wins the chamber
00:55:59he takes on mcintyre for the
00:56:00wwe championship
00:56:03lofty goals but possible
00:56:07oh
00:56:09that wasn't dom's best decision
00:56:11well he just collapsed his chest
00:56:13which was collapsed to begin with
00:56:15and now javon evans
00:56:16fighting back into this
00:56:18nice drop kick by evans
00:56:20evans has got to keep the pace quickened here
00:56:23against gunther
00:56:24i agree with you of the three individuals in the ring
00:56:27javon evans certainly has the speed advantage
00:56:29but don't discount what dirty dom's capable of
00:56:32dom can push the pace when needed
00:56:34hence or due to his lucha libre background
00:56:38and now javon evans
00:56:39with the rana sending
00:56:40dominic toward the corner
00:56:43young man a stud
00:56:45he's can't miss
00:56:45he'll be a former champ
00:56:47he'll be a champion at some point in his career
00:56:49and evans now
00:56:52oh goodness
00:56:53try to get bouncy and paid for it with that chop
00:56:57oh no dom ripped over the top to the floor by the ring general
00:57:01and now gunther stalking dominic mysterio
00:57:06and sending dominic into the bit into the barricade mysterio
00:57:11hitting hard
00:57:15welcome back dom
00:57:17not quite sure
00:57:18this is how he wanted his first match in a few months to go
00:57:25and now dominic again whipped into the barricade
00:57:29gunther is just a cool man
00:57:32merciless
00:57:35it's never personal though
00:57:37gunther just does this
00:57:38this is what he does this is why he's so effective
00:57:41look out
00:57:41good god
00:57:42evans flying over the top rope
00:57:44and driving gunther into the timekeepers area
00:57:50unbelievable
00:57:56just look on in awe
00:58:05i am still amazed that with that young man
00:58:08javon evans is able to accomplish
00:58:09however he may have hurt himself as well in the process
00:58:12high risk high risk maneuver appeared to pay off at least for the moment
00:58:16but to your point javon still feeling the effects and
00:58:18it's dirty dom
00:58:20who is first back to his feet
00:58:24now he has that hammer to you
00:58:26that's used to ring the bell
00:58:28we've seen him use this hammer in the past
00:58:31remember no disqualification
00:58:33so he can do whatever he wants with it tonight i guess
00:58:42now
00:58:43javon evans delivers a kick to mysterio
00:58:48and one to gunther as well
00:58:51this is where javon's got to take advantage
00:58:53gunther out of the equation
00:58:54turn your attention to dominic
00:58:56exactly it's going to be a small window
00:58:58you've got to try to capitalize while you can
00:59:01but dirty dom
00:59:02flattens the young og
00:59:04yeah dirty dom
00:59:06wise behind his years
00:59:08and dominic mysterio dragging
00:59:11javon evans
00:59:11a big stomp to the midsection
00:59:13double champion dominic mysterio
00:59:32dominica
00:59:32allowing the fans to get to him
00:59:34a bit there
00:59:35i believe dom's just tired of hearing chad patten yell at him
00:59:40you grow up in a household you've got ray yelling at you all the time
00:59:43i mean there's a lot of a lot to unpack here
00:59:45we don't have time but you gotta understand where dom's coming from
00:59:48i don't believe that actually happened
00:59:51ray was a wonderful father
00:59:53yeah to dom's sister
00:59:57and now gunther
00:59:58oh
00:59:59runs into a kick from mysterio as well
01:00:02i didn't say anything
01:00:03in fact i'm putting you over gunther
01:00:10dirty dom with an irish whip into the buckle
01:00:14takes the young og down
01:00:16cover
01:00:17looking to advance to the chamber
01:00:19evans kicks out
01:00:31either dominic mysterio javon evans or gunther
01:00:34will join randy orton la night and cody rhodes as part of the six-man field
01:00:38for the elimination
01:00:40chamber match a week from saturday
01:00:41and here we see during the break
01:00:43dirty dom taking a page out of the book
01:00:45of the man who raised him
01:00:46or at least should have
01:00:47the great eddie guerrero
01:00:49taking the hammer for the ring bell
01:00:51didn't use it yet
01:00:53but that could come into play
01:00:55dominic has used that hammer in the past
01:00:57i'm not in this match
01:00:58well to success
01:00:59sure
01:01:00but think about it again
01:01:01the mega champion
01:01:03the intercontinental champion
01:01:04and with a couple of wins
01:01:06dom could be a triple champion
01:01:07you know the only triple champions
01:01:09we've had in wwe have been
01:01:11kurt angle
01:01:12triple h
01:01:13john cena
01:01:15and eddie guerrero
01:01:17that is quite the field
01:01:18as you saw the hammer moments ago
01:01:20that was placed on the steps
01:01:21by dominic mysterio
01:01:23and dominic trying to take advantage of the fact
01:01:25that gunther has been taken out of this match momentarily
01:01:28and he's turned this into a one-on-one

01:09:04qualifying for his first ever chambermatch
01:09:07Well, Gunther will certainly have his issues to deal with regarding Dragon Lee,
01:09:11but let's not take away the moment from the young OG,
01:09:15who week after week continues to defy the odds.
01:09:22And inch his way toward the top of the mountain.
01:09:25Here we see Dragon Lee, a little poetic justice,
01:09:30flattening Gunther with the ring bell.
01:09:33A 619 from the king of the luchadors.
01:09:37But Dirty Dom took just a moment too long,
01:09:40making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
01:09:43Evans out of the way.
01:09:45And the OG would take to the skies.
01:09:49Javon with the OG cutter.
01:09:52Taking down Dirty Dom and punching his ticket to the Windy City.
01:10:02Four men have qualified.
01:10:04Two spots remain.
01:10:05Randy Orton, L.A. Knight, Cody Rhodes, and Javon Evans.
01:10:15Congratulations to the young OG, Javon Evans.
01:10:20We'll see you in Chicago, Javon.
