00:01:38I'm a Christian.
00:01:39Now dammit.
00:01:39Meet.
00:01:44Hey.
00:01:45V room.
00:01:46Hey Ws.
00:01:46Please.
00:01:48Hip hop music.
00:01:50Come y'all.
00:01:52What you doin?
00:01:55Oops.
00:01:55All the players win their penguins.
00:02:07Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:20there's no needy, cut the music, cut, cut the damn music!
00:02:56I know, I know they're disrespecting you.
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 in the
00:03:18world, which I just sold last night for $16 million.
00:03:22None 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 the
00:03:50most beautiful city in the United States.
00:03:55And this is not it!
00:04:02Hey, but good news!
00:04:03Good news, Memphis!
00:04:05Guys, we're here!
00:04:21Well, the Usos are still up in the stands.
00:04:24Here's a piece of footage that will explain my mood tonight.
00:04:30And I would very much appreciate it if it would be shown right now.
00:04:37Corey, last week's main event, Triple Threat Theory, Penta and Knight, winner to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:04:43A chaotic scene on the outside of the ring, but once again, the mysterious masked man, whom has plagued the
00:04:49vision in recent weeks, would strike again, stomping Theory's head into the floor outside before being chased off by Logan
00:04:57Paul.
00:04:57But unfortunately, this left Theory susceptible to a BFT from LA Knight.
00:05:07That masked man, look at this.
00:05:17Masked man, huh? Real original.
00:05:20Every single one of you knows that that was my match to win.
00:05:24All of you! All of you!
00:05:28Especially 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.
00:05:47Nah, you wanna come out here? You wanna interrupt me too?
00:05:49You know what? We're gonna 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!
00:06:00And if you're being honest, Theory, if it wasn't for Logan and Bronson, my security would have had the masked
00:06:05man taken care of,
00:06:06and 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.
00:06:14Please!
00:06:15You 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.
00:06:33Don't think I haven't heard about the phone calls you've been making to go above my head.
00:06:36Like I have a problem putting Bronson Reed in the chamber if Bronson Reed earns the right to be in
00:06:44the 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?
00:07:13We'll be right back!
00:07:28Let me talk to you.
00:07:33The chickens have come home to roost.
00:07:36You talk about every single one of the, the guy in the mask, who's the masked man?
00:07:40It was you.
00:07:42Look how now it just turns around on you, and you get screwed by yourself.
00:07:46Yeah!
00:07:47Yeah!
00:07:49Story 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!
00:07:58Hopes 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,
00:08:09Bronson, sweet filthy lord, please put Bronson Reed in the Elimination Chamber so I can stuff
00:08:15his fat head between those bars and kick him square in his ass 38,000, 40,000 times!
00:08:22Yeah!
00:08:22Yeah!
00:08:24Because for everything that you put me through, you got-
00:08:28Oh!
00:08:30You mean like the car that he put you through?
00:08:37Yeah!
00:08:37You 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, but
00:08:53I just
00:08:54look in this ring and I see these three turd stains, and I say you don't let them leave,
00:09:01because even though the Usos and I, we don't have the best track record, but if they want
00:09:06to come on down here, I see two Usos, and I see this man with everybody saying, yeah!
00:09:20I don't know, Memphis, what do you think?
00:09:26Sounds like Memphis wants it, LA wants it.
00:09:29Usos, what do you guys say?
00:09:31Let's go to town!
00:09:33We!
00:09:34Well there you have it!
00:09:35It is official.
00:09:37It's a six-man tag, and it starts right now!
00:09:42Ah!
00:09:44Oh yeah, what 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!
00:09:53adam peers 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 la knight and the usos live next on netflix
00:10:14jimmy and jay uso the current tag team champions
00:10:18set to go to work with la knight and his six-man tag team max tonight paul heyman cannot be
00:10:25happy
00:10:25with the way this has played out so far paul heyman has got a great deal on his mind and
00:10:31even
00:10:31more on his plate when it comes to the vision we've got this masked man who has been running
00:10:36roughshod causing chaos at the expense of the vision and heyman seems to have no idea who or
00:10:42why he is and not to mention that braun breaker who had become sort of the pseudo leader of the
00:10:48vision is out indefinitely after going through surgery and it's tough to not blame that at
00:10:54least partially on this chaos and the masked man braun breaker obviously having a great deal of
00:10:59difficulty maintaining his focus even when working out in the gym and cory listen the vision has brought
00:11:05all of this upon themselves and wasted a little time the usos in la night going after the vision
00:11:13and we haven't even started this six-man tag team match yet we got a melee on our hands and
00:11:19this 16
00:11:20million dollar man dumped out to the floor and we'll tell you that story in a few moments has been
00:11:25an eventful week for logan paul and now bronson reed the sacrificial lamb getting teed off on by
00:11:33the usos at la night
00:11:42big bronson reed as we just learned moments ago will compete in an elimination chamber qualifying
00:11:48matchup next week but this could really really harm the momentum of ozila if he doesn't find success
00:11:55tonight in this six-man attack well the oracle paul hayman needs to wander over there and try to get
00:12:00the vision refocused
00:12:05because they've been taken out of their game by la night and the usos
00:12:13and now the strategy session here at ringside with hayman i would love to be privy to the wisdom
00:12:19of the oracle that's going to be like getting coached up by vince lombardi or bill belichick
00:12:25and the bell rings and we are underway in this six-man tag team match up at la night we'll
00:12:32start
00:12:33things off with logan paul quite the history between these two remember it was night who took
00:12:38the united states championship away from logan paul a couple of years ago and now the body shots by paul
00:12:43the boxing background of logan paul coming into play not to mention the titanium reinforced right hand
00:12:50of mr paul referee rod sapata separating the men
00:13:07so this impromptu six-man tag team matchup is underway
00:13:11it is the vision against la night and the tag champs the usos and la night
00:13:15taking the fight to logan paul been an eventful week for logan paul at first he got into it with
00:13:23well legend tom brady on social media and then he just sold a a trading card for 16 million dollars
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 and here comes jimmy usso of the tag champs and jimmy right to the arm of austin theory
00:13:47who came out here tonight all out of sorts after being cost the chance to qualify for the elimination
00:13:53chamber a week from saturday thanks to the masked man and i'd ask you to be unbiased but i know
00:13:58that's
00:13:59pretty much impossible for you but austin theory has every right in the world to be upset heyman and
00:14:03the vision have every right to be irate because this masked man has cost them on more than one occasion
00:14:09think back to the royal rumble that's part of the reason braun breaker's not around how about when
00:14:13austin theory is dressed as a masked man and we're costing people matches nobody said anything about
00:14:17that it was all means to an end tag main event jay usso now the legal man
00:14:25elbows connecting no one does it better cover now by jay and a kick out
00:14:33the usos a nine-time tag team champions they hold the record of 600 over 600 days as champion at
00:14:41one
00:14:41point in their careers tag made now to la night remember night is qualified for the chamber cory
00:14:47oh nice neck breaker boiled down to personal issues covered by the megastar is it enough and a kick out
00:14:52at two night joining cody rhodes and randy orton is three of the six who will be a part of
00:14:59the men's
00:14:59elimination chamber matchup a week from saturday in chicago you can almost hear la night salivating
00:15:05at the idea of getting his hands on big broad tag inside of the elimination chamber well he's going
00:15:10to have a chance to get his oh oh he sights on big bronson reed now who's the legal man
00:15:16a great double
00:15:17team by the vision tremendous teamwork by theory and big bronson reed 330 pounds the auszilla bronson
00:15:27reed who cost knight a couple of months of action when he delivered a tsunami tonight on the hood of
00:15:33a car back in december tag made to logan hall the 16 million dollar man who would have ever thought
00:15:42pokemon would pay such big dividends you know it was a pikachu illustrator i know what it was call i
00:15:50put a
00:15:50bid on it i have no idea what it was but the fact that someone paid 16 and a half
00:15:54million dollars for a
00:15:55trading card i offered 250 and a jawbreaker but wonder what mine's worth and logan called now with
00:16:01a stop to la night you are pathetic brother you are actually the worst to me it's la night no
00:16:13paul loves to talk he's got quite the ego that's the thing about the vision uh nice
00:16:19gut wrench that time here's the cover isn't enough to put him away knight has to kick out
00:16:23three distinct personalities as it comes to the vision well absolutely and logan paul has earned
00:16:29the right to be egotistical whereas austin theory believes his ego was his downfall theory tasted some
00:16:35success but was unable to really hold on to it long term which is why he's reinvented himself
00:16:39alongside logan paul and also and hayman has coined austin theory the pressure
00:16:48back here he provides for the vision as a unit and again remember the vision not even at full
00:16:55strength corey broad breaker out of action and definitely following surgery last week
00:17:00right now the defiant la night trying to find an escape from the vision corner
00:17:06the division doing a great job oh and a big splash and this is a perfect example of la night
00:17:13being a guy
00:17:13who thinks with his heart not his brain teaming with the usos great seems like a good idea until
00:17:18you realize you're dealing with a cohesive team a unit in the vision who work together as one
00:17:30you
00:17:36la knight has been rendered ineffective for the past several moments courtesy of all three members of the
00:17:43vision logan paul now dribbling knight's face off of the ring apron
00:17:59L.A. Knight in desperate need of a tag to a fresher Jimmy or Jay,
00:18:02and look at this onslaught from the Maverick.
00:18:18Logan Paul, wildly unpopular tonight in Memphis.
00:18:22Tag made to Austin Theory.
00:18:26Picture-perfect double suplex.
00:18:27Here's the cover now by Theory, and Knight kicks out.
00:18:30You know, you mentioned something about L.A. Knight,
00:18:32how he seems to always put himself in this position to get 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.
00:18:53Professionally 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,
00:19:09but they're not a team.
00:19:10I'm not sure if you heard Heyman moments ago,
00:19:12but 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
00:19:20and 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
00:19:29than 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,
00:19:34Austin 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,
00:19:49he seems to be doing just that.
00:19:50And Bronson Reed burying the shoulder in the midsection of L.A. Knight.
00:19:54Knight 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.
00:20:31He 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.
00:20:37No 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,
00:20:58falls it up with a senton.
00:21:00Cover!
00:21:01And breaking things up is Jimmy Uso.
00:21:05And again, you can admire the guts of L.A. Knight,
00:21:07but 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.
00:21:19And Bronson Reed, so that's it.
00:21:21L.A. Knight, though, rolls out of harm's way this time
00:21:23as Bronson misses with a senton.
00:21:29L.A. Knight, unfortunately,
00:21:31crawling 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.
00:21:40Knight 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.
00:21:47Knight again, a fingertip away.
00:21:49Logan Paul sent flying.
00:21:51Knight makes the tag.
00:21:52Here comes Jay Uso.
00:21:57FedEx Forum just erupted for main event Jay.
00:22:08And Jay Uso takes down Logan Paul.
00:22:18Now back it 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.
00:22:45Ducks underneath the clothesline.
00:22:46And Uso with a spear!
00:22:49For the win!
00:22:50For the win!
00:22:51And Austin Theory!
00:22:52Saving the matchup.
00:22:53L.A. Knight gonna 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.
00:23:06Oh, look at the power of Austin Theory.
00:23:09And driven into the post by L.A. Knight who falls it up.
00:23:12Oh!
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.
00:23:26Meanwhile, the official checking on Jay Uso.
00:23:28Who 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 and a kick at it too!
00:23:52Logan 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.
00:24:14Tag 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's only one!
00:24:23Jay!
00:24:24One and done!
00:24:27Into the cover!
00:24:29Big Bronson Reed breaks things up.
00:24:32Regis bulldozed through Jay before diving on top of Jimmy Uso.
00:24:38Big headbutt by Ozzilla.
00:24:43Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:24:45Look out below!
00:24:46No way!
00:24:47Suicide dive!
00:24:50330 pound!
00:24:52747!
00:24:54Wiping out Jay!
00:24:56Taking out everybody in his path!
00:24:59Ozzilla's on the loose!
00:25:02Big right!
00:25:03Big right!
00:25:03Good night, Big Jim!
00:25:04That titanium-loaded right hand.
00:25:07Tagged now to Big Bronson Reed.
00:25:10The 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!
00:25:28LA Knight's heart may have been in the right place, but he and the Usos just didn't have
00:25:34time to prepare for the Vision.
00:25:38330 plus pounds!
00:25:41A suicide dive that registered on the Richter scale takes out the Usos on the outside, leaving
00:25:48Logan Paul one-on-one with Jimmy Uso, who gets flattened and tsunami.
00:25:59The Vision with a massive win in this tag-team match tonight.
00:26:07Oh, yo, O-Bo!
00:26:08Oh, yo, you see that, Michael Paul?
00:26:10What you want?
00:26:11Yeah!
00:26:11You see that, Michael Paul?
00:26:13Hey, hey, were you watching that?
00:26:15Yeah, brother, that's the Vision working.
00:26:17You were watching, huh?
00:26:19For what's in your life instead of talking all the time.
00:26:22All you do is run your mouth.
00:26:28The Masked Man strikes again.
00:26:35And hightailing it out of dodge as the Vision gives chase, but the damage is done.
00:26:42Logan Paul left laying.
00:26:46The Masked Man does it again.
00:26:52And this is going to drive Heyman in the Vision, possibly off the deep end.
00:26:57Come on!
00:26:59Come on!
00:27:00Come on!
00:27:01Come on!
00:27:02Come on!
00:27:03Well, ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw next week heads to Atlanta, Georgia.
00:27:09And another women's qualifier as EO Sky, the genius of the sky, does battle with Raquel Rodriguez
00:27:17of the Judgment Day and Kyrie Sane.
00:27:20And in the men's Elimination Chamber qualifying matchup next week, Bronson Reed is in against
00:27:26Jey Uso in the original El Grande Americano, who is going to the Elimination Chamber a week
00:27:33like Crocs Saturday.
00:27:35So you doubt me and everyone around me, but everybody's livin' on you, but now you.
00:27:50Okay, 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, uh, didn't open it.
00:28:00Why didn't you open it?
00:28:01I don't know.
00:28:03Is there anything you do know?
00:28:04Well, I know that it says, Deliver to WWE, do 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.
00:28:17Okay.
00:28:172-28, that's the chamber.
00:28:19Right.
00:28:19Yeah.
00:28:21Well, sir, what do you want me to do with it?
00:28:25I want you to put it back on the truck, send it to Smackdown, and let Aldous deal with it.
00:28:29You got them both.
00:28:30Thanks, Eli.
00:28:34Hola, cabrones!
00:28:36What can I do for you guys?
00:28:40Señor Pierce, what's going on here?
00:28:43That chaparro is not the real American, and yet you gave him a qualifying match for elimination.
00:28:52Let me make this real easy for you, okay?
00:28:55The chamber qualifying matches are set, they're finalized.
00:28:57What's done is done.
00:28:58Is there anything else I can do for the three of you?
00:29:00Bueno, you gave him something.
00:29:03Dame algo, I'm the only way, give me something as well.
00:29:06Okay, what?
00:29:09What about an intercontinental championship?
00:29:13Oh, yeah.
00:29:14You and everybody else wants an intercontinental title match.
00:29:16Now, Adam 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, how about if I give you a chance to earn one?
00:29:25Tonight.
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.
00:29:36Para ti.
00:29:38Dios mÃo.
00:29:44A lot of things have changed since the last time I was in an elimination chamber match,
00:29:49but mostly me.
00:29:53Last 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.
00:30:06The continues tonight.
00:30:09Bayley!
00:30:10Huh?
00:30:10Nari!
00:30:13And I'm going to be in the elimination chamber.
00:30:20And I don't care if my road goes to Asuka, Bayley, or 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 and 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.
00:30:45Natalya 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? Will it be Asuka? Will it be Natty?
00:31:05Find out live next.
00:31:21Kathy Kelly here and a bit confusing because moments ago we saw El Grande Americano, but please welcome my guest,
00:31:29the original El Grande Americano.
00:31:35Hola!
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, I'm going to abandon my native language of
00:32:01Spanish 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 because El Grande Americano is going to stamp his
00:32:59passport straight into the elimination chamber when I win my qualifying match.
00:33:09So with that, I bid you farewell, but let me just say before I go, thank you.
00:33:19And lastly, but not least, gracias!
00:33:26Well, 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, but we also have more
00:33:34action coming up right now on Monday Night Raw.
00:33:37So thank you so much.
00:33:43In Vegas, everything's a game.
00:33:48Some nights, it's played without cards or dice.
00:33:52Just attention.
00:33:55Never knowing who might show up at the table.
00:34:02I'm back in Seattle again.
00:34:06Wrestlemania Vegas.
00:34:09It's anyone's game.
00:34:16I'm back.
00:34:20I'm back in Seattle again.
00:34:25I'm back.
00:34:29I'm back in Seattle again.
00:34:33Right on the town alone.
00:34:36By the night of the moon.
00:34:41I'm looking for food.
00:34:44I'm back in Seattle again.
00:34:56I'm back in Seattle again.
00:35:01I'm back in Seattle again.
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 and, as we mentioned, an elimination chamber.
00:36:35Next, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, representing the Hart Family Dungeon, Natty.
00:36:48Natalya elevates, Natty dominates.
00:36:52And Natty 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 Natty recently is a return to her roots.
00:37:03This is who Natty has always been, and the world is finally getting to meet her.
00:37:09Natty 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.
00:38:01You look at someone like Natalya, or Natty, excuse me, who's evolved into this new persona that looks to dominate.
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, and to a degree, I think it's safe to say, Bayley's been something like emotionally
00:38:19shattered.
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,
00:38:25that can do something to a competitor.
00:38:27Obviously, that's what's happened to Bayley, and look at Natty tee off.
00:38:30Yeah, off that double leg takedown, into the ground and pound on Bayley, and 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, now running clothesline, and cover, Oscar, not allowing the cover by Bayley, and 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.
00:39:21Damn it, 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 Oscar 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.
00:39:53Oh, driving Oscar into the corner.
00:39:56Well, the parallels between Bayley and Natty are eerily similar.
00:39:59I mean, Natty, as Natty, spent the majority of her career trying 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 where sometimes, to her own detriment, she's been so giving
00:40:14and 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.
00:40:21And it drives Bayley face first into the ring post.
00:40:25Suddenly, Natty's taken over.
00:40:27Ding, dong, hello.
00:40:42A 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.
00:41:43What 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 back in it, being spilled through the eyes
00:41:59of Natty.
00:42:01Now the Empress of Tomorrow.
00:42:03Asuka looking to take control in this matchup and Bayley trying to fight back.
00:42:07Well, 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 on 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 to 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.
00:44:22And 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.
00:45:06And 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.
00:45:21Or hit 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.
00:45:31And 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.
00:45:47And that back suplex by Bayley.
00:45:49Delivered to Natty.
00:45:51Now it turns her attention to Asuka.
00:45:53You can tell Bayley's feeling the urgency of this matchup.
00:45:58Bayley now heading up to the top rope.
00:46:00May 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.
00:46:27Bayley's neck colliding with the steel.
00:46:31From behind Asuka.
00:46:33Ripping Natty into the ring.
00:46:34Asuka lock.
00:46:36Asuka lock.
00:46:37Asuka lock.
00:46:37Trying 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.
00:46:58Wow.
00:47:00Oh.
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.
00:47:11Looking for her submission hold.
00:47:13The legendary sharpshooter that she learned in the Hart Family Dungeon.
00:47:18She'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.
00:47:43Going 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.
00:47:55You 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.
00:48:09She needs to continue to apply the pressure.
00:48:11Spinning back fist countered.
00:48:12Backslide by Bayley.
00:48:14Shoulders now down.
00:48:15Official in 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.
00:48:46My transformation.
00:48:49Asuka.
00:48:52The Empress of Tomorrow.
00:48:55Asuka.
00:48:55Outlasting 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.
00:49:09Cinching 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.
00:49:24Two spots remain for the women's elimination chamber matchup a week from Saturday in Chicago.
00:49:36Wait, wait, wait, wait, 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.

00:50:17I want you to look over it.

00:50:20Mine's better.
00:50:21I guarantee that.
00:50:23We'll see.
00:50:25I do need time to decide.

00:51:14Well, 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?
00:51:24The 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.
00:51:46This should be interesting.
00:51:49Hey, Paul.
00:51:50Peyton Manning.
00:51:51Hey, 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.
00:52:20I think it's in the ring.
00:52:21At Legion Stadium, big boat comes to you.
00:52:23And I 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 talk.
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 on.
00:52:47He's going to play at WrestleMania.
00:52:48Oh, s***.
00:52:48He's great.
00:52:49Did you go to his office?
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.
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:26Oh, my.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:28All right.
00:53:30Memphis, it's time.
00:53:31Put yourself up.
00:53:33Happy now.
00:53:34It's my strength.
00:53:35It'll never get to me.
00:53:37Let's go.
00:53:38They can get your sides up.
00:53:40End up on the big screen.
00:53:42Go worldwide.
00:53:44Show us what Memphis got.
00:53:45My legacy, my legacy, my legacy
00:53:49AJ and me, we got Monday Night Reals
00:53:54What'd that say? I gave my wife some money
00:53:58Oh, alright, alright, we'll see what we can make happen here
00:54:03All hail the ring general
00:54:05That might be the only person here in the building saying that
00:54:10See us hooked, our first Monday Night Raw
00:54:13Welcome to everybody
00:54:16Thank you
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, none other than Liv Morgan
00:54:55I'm so excited
00:54:57I mean WrestleMania, who you gonna pick?
00:55:01Donnick?
00:55:03Hi
00:55:04How do I 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?
00:55:15Michael, not even any small talk, but it's okay, because I have decided.
00:55:19And what I've decided is I am not going to arrest this decision.
00:55:25Are you kidding me?
00:55:27I am having so fun watching everyone scramble, trying to figure out who I'm
00:55:31going to pick.
00:55:32So 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 to make...
00:55:43Hello.
00:55:44Excuse me, can I help you?
00:55:46We're kind of in the middle of something.
00:55:47You said 10 years.
00:55:49You said hard work?
00:55:51You talking hard work?
00:55:52What the hell do you say, Lee?
00:55:55Of course you've worked.
00:55:56You haven't sacrificed anything.
00:55:59Everything has given you, WDW.
00:56:00You started your career here.
00:56:02You have the best doctors.
00:56:03You have the best trainers.
00:56:05You have everything.
00:56:06You want to talk about sacrifice?
00:56:09You want to talk about sacrifice?
00:56:11Don't talk to my sister like that.
00:56:12I was born in Chile, a country where there is no free struggle.
00:56:15And even so I was born in Madrid.
00:56:16I was born in Japan.
00:56:18Japan, Mexico, Latin America, Europe.
00:56:21I conquered everything.
00:56:23Everything.
00:56:24She conquered everything.
00:56:25She conquered more.
00:56:25She survived.
00:56:26She should be embarrassed.
00:56:30She survived.
00:56:32I was born in Japan.
00:56:33She didn't hide behind anyone.
00:56:34She survived.
00:56:35You need to hide behind your husband.
00:56:38She was dead.
00:56:38But I'm going to tell you something.
00:56:40I passed through the hell
00:56:42and it was mine
00:56:45just to get to WWE
00:56:47and be a champion.
00:56:49This cinturon, for me,
00:56:52means more than a simple cinturon.
00:56:54It's for all the girls
00:56:56and all the women
00:56:57who have not had the opportunity
00:56:59and even so they have achieved it.
00:57:06If you choose me,
00:57:08you're not going to win
00:57:11because I'm going to teach you
00:57:13what a real champion is.
00:57:16She's going to show you
00:57:19what a real champion looks like.
00:57:22You 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.
00:57:52Michael Cole not getting the answers
00:57:54he had hoped for.
00:57:59It's from the women's world champion
00:58:02to the world heavyweight champion.
00:58:05The best in the world
00:58:07is in Memphis.
00:58:10Memphis.
00:58:14Look in my eyes, what do you see?
00:58:20I'm not a person that I see.
00:58:25I'm not a maker.
00:58:28I know dreams.
00:58:31I can't do anything you want to be.
00:58:34I'm not a person that I see.
00:58:43I know what I see.
00:58:46I know what a person that I see.
00:59:16with roman reigns awaiting at wrestlemania and finn balor in the way at elimination chamber
00:59:23the world heavyweight champion is here live next
00:59:54i told you what you want to be free i love the personality
01:00:09i love the personality
01:00:12i love the personality
01:00:15i love the personality
01:00:41hello my friend
01:00:42For you are the same, you're the same
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? Or what?
01:03:36It feels like you guys are happy to see me.
01:03:41So welcome, change, from being backstage. The office is not happy to see me. Adam Pierce, in particular, says that
01:03:49I'm jeopardizing the main event of WrestleMania.
01:03:54Yeah, boo Adam Pierce.
01:03:59CM Punk versus Roman Reigns. Now 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.
01:04:12Sports franchises will qualify for the playoffs. That does not mean they get to not show up and play regular
01:04:19season games.
01:04:21I've talked a lot since I've talked a lot since I've won this championship about deserves and earns, and I
01:04:28think you people deserve a fighting 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. He'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. I'm putting the main event of WrestleMania in
01:05:22jeopardy.
01:05:23But I'm a man who does and says things a lot of the time that piss 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.
01:06:00It's not Roman Reigns.
01:06:02It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:05It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:08It's not Finn Balor.
01:06:17It's Finn Balor.
01:06:18It's Finn Balor.
01:06:21It's Finn Balor.
01:06:22It's Finn Balor.
01:06:25It's Finn Balor.
01:06:27It's Finn Balor.
01:06:28It's Finn Balor.
01:06:29It's Finn Balor.
01:06:30It's Finn Balor.
01:06:31It's Finn Balor.
01:06:31It's Finn Balor.
01:06:31It's Finn Balor.
01:06:31It's Finn Balor.
01:06:31It's Finn Balor.
01:06:32It's Finn Balor.
01:06:33It's Finn Balor.
01:06:36It's Finn Balor.
01:06:40It'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.
01:07:07J.D. McDonough, the 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.
01:07:27This is a predicament for the World Champion.
01:07:29This is the problem, Corey.
01:07:31This is why everybody was questioning why Punk took this match.
01:07:35We need an opportunity to be a part of the greatest main event in WrestleMania history.
01:07:38That could go.
01:07:39That 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.
01:07:58Relax, Punk.
01:07:59Relax.
01:07:59Don't worry.
01:08:00You're not in any trouble.
01:08:02We didn't come out here to fight.
01:08:06We 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, but something I noticed about all those great things
01:10:17you did, you 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, and what I'm about to do may be
01:11:38really, really stupid.
01:11:39But I don't believe for a second that the three of you didn't have a plan to come out here
01:11:43and 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 that 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.
01:12:22Maybe, maybe you do.
01:12:23Maybe, maybe you do.
01:12:37Maybe, maybe you do.
01:12:48An interesting dilemma, Corey, for Finn Balor.
01:12:52what does he do a week from saturday we will have our answer in chicago it seems as though cm
01:12:59punk
01:12:59stirred up something within valor that might have been lying dormant for a little too long
01:13:03yeah that is uh cm punk perhaps jeopardizing one of the great main eventing one of the great main
01:13:09events in wrestlemania history hey we want to switch gears and remind everyone that friday
01:13:13night smackdown will be seen over on sci-fi this coming friday night because of the olympics and
01:13:19we're gonna have two more elimination chamber qualifying matchups on smackdown speaking of
01:13:24smackdown what about this last past friday night when rhea ripley and eos guy defended the tag titles
01:13:29against last legend and nia jack i thought you'd never ask the tag team championship matchup would
01:13:35descend into absolute chaos at ringside rhea ripley last legend nia jackson eos sky all dropping heavy
01:13:43artillery on one another here you see eo potentially save rhea's career but then eo herself
01:13:50would take to the skies to drive nia through the table rhea through the barricade an absolute melee
01:13:58in the tag team division let's send it up to our own byron saxton with the champs
01:14:03thank you so much cory as you said i'd like to welcome in the women's tag team champions rhea ripley
01:14:08and eos guy

01:14:23rhea you qualified for the elimination chamber last week and eo you also have the same opportunity next
01:14:29week how in the world are you both holding it together look the road to wrestlemania it's always
01:14:36a battle and this friday it was no exception nire and lash they thought that they could just take
01:14:42our women's tag team championships but they got a little bit carried away and they failed
01:14:50all they managed to do was turn up the heat so it's time for us to put them out
01:14:58and we will be ready as far as the elimination chamber
01:15:18and we will make sure you guys neighboring hey
01:15:24hey i don't know i mean i mean i mean i mean we will make sure asuka is champion
