00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:34With the Winter Olympics in Milan and our rearview mirror, we turn our attention to the city that hosted the
00:00:401996 Summer Olympics.
00:00:43This is Atlanta, Georgia, where tonight we pay tribute to the phenomenal A.J. Stiles.
00:00:52We are live at the State Farm Arena.
00:00:55Monday Night Raw is live on Netflix and presented by DoorDash.
00:01:06Helgen, everybody, and welcome to Monday Night Raw.
00:01:11I'm Michael Cole. He's Corey Graves.
00:01:13And Corey, tonight, a very special evening.
00:01:16It is an honor and a privilege for both you and myself to be right here in Atlanta, Georgia,
00:01:23as we celebrate the career of a man widely considered the greatest in-ring technician.
00:01:29Enough already. Enough, Corey.
00:01:51I know you two are just trying your hardest, but for me that didn't really cut it.
00:01:57So get out of my ring, sit behind that desk, and tell our network audience how great I am.
00:02:07Come on.
00:02:08Then, called the honor and worship you're welcome.
00:02:17Thank you so much for watching.
00:02:18The honor and worship you're welcome.
00:02:43I understand you're not happy to see me because tonight all you idiots gathered to celebrate
00:02:50the career of AJ Styles and I think that it is disgraceful that there is a celebration tonight
00:03:04for a loser but I understand you people feel for those losers you like them losers like Bill Goldberg
00:03:21losers like John Cena and losers like AJ Styles
00:03:32and what they all have in common is that I killed their career
00:03:45so what should really happen here tonight is a celebration
00:03:50for a truly great wrestler
00:03:53me that is enough enough that is enough
00:03:58that is enough
00:04:00Guter that is enough
00:04:03I said that is enough
00:04:06that is enough
00:04:10that is enough
00:04:12god damn it that is enough
00:04:20I knew you'd come out here and try and do something like that we are not going to do that
00:04:24what we are going to do is we are going to celebrate the career of AJ Styles
00:04:34so you are done get out of the ring call it a night I am having my boys escort you
00:04:39out of this building right now
00:04:52I am going to leave
00:04:55but not because you tell me
00:04:59because out of my free will I decide to leave this building because I am disgraced by what is going
00:05:05to happen here tonight
00:05:19oh Corey I can't say I am shocked that
00:05:21Gunther interrupted the proceedings tonight
00:05:31remember it was in this building back over the summer where Gunther retired Goldberg
00:05:36the beginning of this career killer stance for Gunther
00:05:38and unfortunately as bitter of a pill as it is to swallow Gunther does speak a great deal of truth
00:05:43the man has ended legendary careers
00:05:48I don't agree with his choice to disrespect Styles already tonight but I am not going to stop Gunther
00:05:54and kudos to our general manager to get Gunther out of here
00:06:03oh
00:06:03it is it's Dragon Lee
00:06:06Dragon Lee attacking Gunther
00:06:09on the night that his friend AJ Styles
00:06:12his former tag team partner
00:06:13is to be celebrated
00:06:15Dragon Lee's had it up
00:06:17and he takes it upon himself
00:06:18to attack Gunther
00:06:20Dragon Lee tired of the disrespect
00:06:23being displayed towards Styles by Gunther
00:06:26gunther

00:06:43That's all right.
00:06:45Hey, come on!
00:06:49Get him off!
00:06:51Get him off!
00:06:53Get him off!
00:06:54Get him off!
00:06:55Get him off!
00:06:56Get him off!
00:06:57Get him off!
00:06:58Get him off!
00:07:01Get him out!
00:07:01Get him out!
00:07:06Are you happy?
00:07:09It's not your night!
00:07:20Get him off!
00:07:21Are you serious?
00:07:22You got him?
00:07:28You got him!
00:07:32For your life,
00:07:32you got him.
00:07:42Let's work!
00:07:43I'm a man in my soul, every fight I'm of control, do it all to get them on their feet.
00:07:54Crying tears about to flow, made for me to stop the show, I'm a child like the one I'm alone.
00:08:04Roads!
00:08:09When I was younger, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the American neighbor, Cody Rhodes!
00:08:29Goal!
00:08:30Atlanta, Georgia's own Cody Rhodes kicking us off tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:08:37But he's got a lot on his mind, Corey, heading into Elimination Chamber on Saturday.
00:08:42He's in the Chamber match, his last opportunity and a title chance at WrestleMania.
00:08:48The weight of the world is on the shoulders of the American nightmare tonight in Atlanta.
00:08:55Hear the crowd on the door, ready for me to stop the show.
00:09:01African lights go on from home.
00:09:06Roads!
00:09:09But to that point, Elimination Chamber, Cody Rhodes understands that once again his back is against the wall.
00:09:17And Rhodes wouldn't want it any other way.
00:09:19I give it all away, I give it all away.
00:09:23You take my freedom.
00:09:25You change the game, a better man to play.
00:09:29I lose my kingdom now.
00:09:32You bounce to me.
00:09:34My dreams are my game.
00:09:37You follow me into the air.
00:09:41I have my kingdom.
00:09:43You talk to me what you do.
00:09:46You sometimes remember me getting a little better than I can see.
00:09:59I was just hearing what you do.
00:10:34So, Atlanta!
00:10:43I know what we want to talk about.
00:10:47I know why we're all here.
00:10:50That is the one and the only, the phenomenal AJ Style!
00:11:02Wrestling Royal T-Shirt!
00:11:12It's gonna be one of those nights.
00:11:15I love it.
00:11:16This is the story of a fighter who's got nothing to lose.
00:11:19Got a test that makes the phone and the truth.
00:11:21You're not a fucking fool.
00:11:23Just be my tool.
00:11:24You got a test.
00:11:25I'm the man, everything in your world.
00:11:27I'm the first warrior, stronger than me.
00:11:30Then it's shot coming in and trying to fall for me.
00:11:32I'm ready for war.
00:11:34I know what I'm doing.
00:11:35I know what I'm doing.
00:11:57I cannot stand this place.
00:12:06You all do that and disrespect my wise man.
00:12:12Disrespect the vision.
00:12:16Hey, boys.
00:12:17I can admit it.
00:12:18I'm ashamed of being from Atlanta.
00:12:21Yeah!
00:12:23I'm ashamed, bro.
00:12:24I'm ashamed.
00:12:26Ain't no worries, because you know who's not ashamed to be from Atlanta?
00:12:31That man right there, Cody Rhodes.
00:12:36Because just like everyone from Atlanta, like you, like you, like you, he's got zero common sense.
00:12:47Cody Rhodes showing up on Monday Night Raw.
00:12:49Dog, dog, are you insane?
00:12:51When Bronson Reed wins tonight, wins the Elimination Chamber, and wins at WrestleMania,
00:13:02the vision's taken over SmackDown 2.
00:13:05And you, Cody Rhodes, are the first guy out the door.
00:13:13However, God bless all of you, because you're here in our presence, and that all starts when
00:13:22Bronson Reed wins his qualifying match, which starts right now.
00:13:35I don't know.
00:13:37I don't know.
00:13:40I'm pretty sure there's someone here who would disagree with that.
00:13:46All starts!
00:14:58That man, main event, Jey Uso, hopes to return to the main event at WrestleMania.
00:15:07He's got an opportunity to get there, but first he has to qualify for the elimination chamber.
00:15:13Jey Uso, the original Ronde Americano, and Bronson Reed, one spot remains in the chamber.
00:15:30And again, this is a do-or-die situation if you want an opportunity to battle for a championship at
00:15:36WrestleMania.
00:15:38One spot remains in the men's elimination chamber match.
00:15:44Will it be filled by Jey Uso or Bronson Reed or the original Ronde Americano?
00:15:50If you think about it, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso may be standing side-by-side tonight, but come Saturday,
00:15:56it could be a very, very different picture.
00:15:58Every man for himself inside of elimination chamber.
00:16:01Corey, you can feel the way that Monday Night Raw started tonight.
00:16:05It's WrestleMania season.
00:16:06We are 54 nights away.
00:16:09The pressure is building.
00:16:11The stress is building.
00:16:12The anxiety is building.
00:16:14Everyone jockeying for a place on the two-night card.
00:16:17And this particular matchup, to your previous point of the utmost importance, one stop before WrestleMania.
00:16:23That's Chicago, Illinois.
00:16:24The elimination chamber.
00:16:26Big Bronson Reed would love to represent the vision.
00:16:28Main event, Jey Uso would love to have one more crack at the main event of WrestleMania.
00:16:34And El Grande Americano, the original, would love to make some type of history on the grandest stage of them
00:16:41all.
00:16:41Already five-minute qualified.
00:16:43The aforementioned Cody Rhodes, L.A. Knight, Randy Orton, Upstart, Javon Evans, and Trick Williams.
00:16:54And a reminder that the elimination chamber will air Saturday from Chicago internationally on Netflix.
00:17:31It's all me.
00:17:55Remember, the winner of the elimination chamber match in Chicago on Saturday.
00:18:01will earn a ticket to WrestleMania to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
00:18:50Monday Night Raw is sold out tonight at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:18:55to over 12,000 WWE fans on hand in the final Monday Night Raw before elimination chamber this Saturday.
00:19:03One of these three men will fill the final spot in the men's chamber match.
00:19:07Will it be this man, the original El Grande Americano?
00:19:10Will it be main event, Jey Uso?
00:19:13Will it be Big Bronson Reed?
00:19:14A lot of pressure in this match tonight.
00:19:16I think what we've seen regarding the original El Grande Americano is nothing short of a travesty.
00:19:22This man stole El Grande Americano's identity and somehow found himself in this opportunity to enter the elimination chamber.
00:19:30So again, triple threat rules in this matchup.
00:19:32The first man to gain pinfall or submission will head to Chicago and join Randy Orton, L.A. Knight, Cody
00:19:39Rhodes, Javon Evans, and Trick Williams for an opportunity to head to WrestleMania.
00:19:44And battle Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
00:19:53Three very distinct styles, Corey, in this matchup.
00:19:57This could be a very interesting matchup.
00:19:59You've got the unmatched power game of Big Bronson Reed, who is incredibly agile for a man of his size.
00:20:06You've got the next level toughness of main event Jey Uso and the main event experience, which can't be discounted.
00:20:11Then you've got the original El Grande Americano, who, while may have a bit of an identity crisis in his
00:20:18own right, seems to be a very capable match technician.
00:20:21Well, good strategy in the early going.
00:20:22Try to take out the big man, the 330-pound Ozilla, Big Bronson Reed.
00:20:28Attempt to neutralize the biggest threat.
00:20:30Oh, nice try as Bronson Reed floors Uso and Americano.
00:20:37Main event, Jey Uso experiencing firsthand what Big Bronson Reed is capable of.
00:20:42And if Jey needed a reminder, he'd only ask his cousin, Roman Reigns, who has suffered the wrath of Big
00:20:49Bronson Reed, Ozilla, in the past.
00:20:51Bronson Reed in the division.
00:20:52Knocked off the Usos in L.A. Knight, a six-man tag team matchup last week.
00:20:57Jey Uso has been in two chamber matches in his career, 2020 and 2021.
00:21:02He was in the only tag team match on the men's side in the history of the chamber.
00:21:07And Bronson Reed with a forearm dropping Jey Uso.
00:21:11Keep your eyes on the original El Grande Americano, who's perched on the top turnbuckle.
00:21:17Look out below.
00:21:18Oh, Moonsault takes out Uso and Reed.
00:21:23You have to wonder what El Grande Americano thinks about the original being in this matchup.
00:21:30I think we should begin specifying Mexican national hero El Grande Americano.
00:21:35Not this guy, although this guy is a very, very capable luchador, as evidenced by this perfectly executed Moonsault to
00:21:43take out Reed and Uso.
00:21:44This guy, as you put it, says he's a victim of identity theft.
00:21:49As Bronson Reed now, Americano driving Reed face first into the steel post.
00:21:56And Reed driven again.
00:21:59Who's going to the chamber in Chicago?
00:22:11Again, the superstars can stay outside the ring all day long because there are no countouts, no disqualifications.
00:22:17Under triple threat rules, first man to gain pinfall or submission heads to Chicago in the United Center on Saturday.
00:22:27Jey Uso would love, Corey, to return to the main event, WrestleMania, for winning the Rumble last year.
00:22:33Went on to win the world title there.
00:22:34You can ask any superstar who's had the honor, the distinction of competing in the main event of WrestleMania.
00:22:40And it's a relatively short list, but that is something you spend the rest of your career chasing once you
00:22:45taste it.
00:22:46Well, you have to get through one of the most devastating structures in the history of WWE, the Elimination Chamber.
00:22:52First debuted back in 2002.
00:22:56And think of the list of bodies and careers.
00:22:59That thing is broken.
00:23:00It's steel structure that just envelops the ring.
00:23:03Four pods.
00:23:04Two men and women will start the matchup.
00:23:06Those pods will be opened at regularly scheduled intervals throughout the matchup.
00:23:11And the last man standing, it's Elimination style, the last man standing, heads to WrestleMania.
00:23:17You know, Drew McIntyre's got to be licking his chops.
00:23:20And we'll be watching every moment of that match unfold with his WrestleMania hopes on the line.
00:23:26The original.
00:23:27Uh-oh, inside cradle.
00:23:28Is it enough to put him away?
00:23:29Oh, shoulders were up there.
00:23:31I think if Jey actually initiated the inside cradle, it was countered by Americano.
00:23:36Americano has never been a part of the Elimination Chamber.
00:23:39Looks to qualify for the first time this year.
00:23:41And a wicked chop delivered to main event Jey Uso.
00:23:48Now, we were talking about this earlier.
00:23:49You can really feel the pressure, the stress of WrestleMania season 54 nights away in Las Vegas.
00:23:58And listen to Jey writhing in pain.
00:24:01Beautiful bridging hammerlock applied by Americano.
00:24:05Remember, Jey taps here.
00:24:06It's over.
00:24:08That would have to be disappointing for Big Bronson Reed to not even be involved in the fall and still
00:24:13lose an opportunity at the chamber.
00:24:15And talk about pressure.
00:24:16I mean, there's a lot on Reed as well.
00:24:18Really, the future of the vision.
00:24:20Yeah, you're right.
00:24:21The last hope for representation on the grandest stage of them all could be Big Bronson Reed.
00:24:26Jey fighting back with one arm and El Grande able to stop him again.
00:24:31And this is great strategy by Uso and El Grande to take Reed out of a mix at least momentarily.
00:24:36Turn this into a one-on-one matchup.
00:24:41Americano now focusing his attack on the left arm of Jey Uso.
00:24:45Hopefully, we've settled things down here in Atlanta as we prepare to celebrate the great A.J. Styles a bit
00:24:51later on tonight.
00:24:52Oh, what a kick!
00:24:54A kick!
00:25:23For the final spot in Saturday's Elimination Chamber.
00:25:28Jey looking to return to the main event of WrestleMania yet again.
00:25:32The battle for a championship much like he did last year.
00:25:37And the 330-pound Osceola into the ring and big headbutt.
00:25:45Look at the power of Big Bronson Reed.
00:25:48Oh, my God.
00:25:49Oh, my God.
00:25:50Double stacked.
00:25:52And now Bronson Reed marching around the ring.
00:25:55Look at the power of Bronson Reed.
00:26:00Terrifying strength.
00:26:02There's a reason that the Oracle Paul Heyman picked Reed to be a part of this vision.
00:26:08And, of course, Seth Rollins, who was the original leader of the group.
00:26:15And imagine what Bronson Reed can do inside the Elimination Chamber.
00:26:19We got a glimpse of it a couple of years ago back in 2023 when he was battled for the
00:26:23United States Championship inside the Chamber.
00:26:26But this is a different competitor altogether.
00:26:29Cover here by Reed.
00:26:30Hook of the leg and a kick out at two.
00:26:32Ironically, in that chamber match that he was in, Austin Theory was the United States Champion.
00:26:37He'd go on to win.
00:26:39And, again, another superstar who has completely altered their outlook, their vision, no pun intended, on WWE, on the future
00:26:46of this industry.
00:26:48Big Bronson Reed said, enough being background noise.
00:26:50It's time to be the main character.
00:26:53And that's what we've seen out of Reed over the past several months.
00:26:55This man is lethal.
00:26:57Logan Paul made a good point earlier.
00:26:59The vision has been dominating Raw as of late.
00:27:01Imagine if Bronson Reed wins the Chamber, goes on to win the WWE title at WrestleMania.
00:27:06Then the vision would dominate SmackDown as well.
00:27:09Very, very real possibility, if not a likelihood.
00:27:16Imagine Bronson Reed now just trying to rearrange the entire mindset of Jey Uso here.
00:27:23Jey, who knows all about the vision.
00:27:24He's been in a battle with his group for a number of months now.
00:27:29Jey trying to rally.
00:27:33I'm thinking what it would do for the shift of power within WWE to have the vision holding a top
00:27:39championship.
00:27:39To have Big Bronson Reed as the WWE Champion.
00:27:43What that would mean for the Oracle, Paul Heyman, and the rest of the crew.
00:27:46Wow!
00:27:46World's strongest slam delivered that time by Reed.
00:27:50The power of Reed to catch Jey Uso in midair.
00:27:52Now, the original El Grande Americano with a headbutt to Reed.
00:28:01Oh, my goodness.
00:28:02Unique offense.
00:28:03Cover!
00:28:04One, two, three.
00:28:05Jey Uso stays alive in air ball for El Grande.
00:28:11Take another look at El Grande Americano.
00:28:14Taking down Reed with a bulldog while simultaneously dropping a leg on Uso.
00:28:19No way.
00:28:20Look at this.
00:28:20No way.
00:28:21Looking to deliver a German suplex to Reed.
00:28:23Uso.
00:28:24I think inadvertently, maybe not, hit El Grande.
00:28:26And El Grande Americano.
00:28:29Waistlock applied.
00:28:30There should be no such thing as inadvertent in a match like this.
00:28:33That looked familiar.
00:28:34Nice German suplex from El Grande.
00:28:37He's going to head up now to the top rope.
00:28:39That is a lot of ground to cover.
00:28:42Oh, it's all the way across the wing.
00:28:45Cover.
00:28:46Hook of the leg.
00:28:47Reed breaks things up.
00:28:48I don't know if Americano made much contact at all with Jey Uso.
00:28:51I think he hurt himself.
00:28:53Executed the cover.
00:28:54I mean, that could prove to be disastrous.
00:28:56Crash landing for Americano.
00:28:58No way in hell.
00:28:59You've got to be kidding me.
00:29:00A German suplex into a bridge cover.
00:29:03And a kick out at two.
00:29:06The fact that Americano just scrambled his own brains and then pulled this off.
00:29:10I can't bet against this guy.
00:29:14The power of the original El Grande Americano is unreal.
00:29:20He just delivered a German suplex to the 330-pound Bronson Reed to turn this entire match upside down.
00:29:30There are bodies all over the ring.
00:29:38Bronson Reed rolled out of the ring after that German suplex.
00:29:42I think it shook Reed up a bit.
00:29:44I mean, it was a high-angle landing across the tops of his shoulders, the base of his neck.
00:29:49And when you're dealing with over 330 pounds, that much weight crashing down on your body will damage anybody.
00:29:54And with Reed out of the equation, at least momentarily, it allows Uso and Americano to buy some time, catch
00:30:02their breath a bit.
00:30:03Potentially, or this could be an opportunity for both of them to step on the gas, to engage in a
00:30:08one-on-one competition.
00:30:09Your odds aren't going to get any better than they could be right now if you're Americano or Jey Uso.
00:30:13And you can't count out Reed here because there are no countouts in this match.
00:30:19I'm still in awe over the fact that Americano flew three-quarters of the way across the ring and appeared
00:30:24to land face-first on the mat.
00:30:26And he's still in this battle.
00:30:29Americano now surveying the scene.
00:30:31I think finally realizing that Big Bronson Reed is out of the equation for the moment.
00:30:38Jey Uso now coming to the same realization.
00:30:41Saying, let's throw down while we still have time.
00:30:47The official, Rod Zapata, resetting things here as Reed's a 10-2 at ringside.
00:30:53Triple threat match continues for an opportunity to get to Elimination Chamber.
00:31:04The original El Grande Americano attempting to get the WWE fans here in Atlanta behind him.
00:31:10It's like a bizarro world for me, Cole.
00:31:12You know I do AAA on Saturday nights on WWE.
00:31:15This coming Saturday.
00:31:15This coming Saturday night.
00:31:17Every Saturday night, WWE's YouTube channel.
00:31:19And this original, quote-unquote, El Grande Americano is absolutely detested south of the border.
00:31:27Whereas the other Americano is a national hero.
00:31:30Well, he is the original one, Corey.
00:31:32He's the first one to appear in this mask and get-up last summer.
00:31:44And look at this now.
00:31:45El Grande.
00:31:47Americano has taken over.
00:31:48Jey Uso in a bit of trouble here.
00:31:52Interested to see what Americano can do inside Elimination Chamber if that comes to be.
00:32:12ladies and gentlemen back here on monday night raw this triple threat match continues for a
00:32:16spot in the elimination chamber el grande americano main event jay uso bronson reed is
00:32:21also in this match but moments ago we see bronson reed bulldozing the pile to break up the pinfall
00:32:28attempt and immediately looking at his right arm i hate to speculate obviously not being medical
00:32:34professionals but it could be a bicep it could be an elbow yeah he pointed toward the bicep as the
00:32:39the ringside doctor is out here outside the ring look out checking on bronson reed and this is
00:32:45turned into a one-on-one matchup between jay uso and el grande americano an opportunity to get to
00:32:51chicago to fill the final spot inside the elimination chamber with a spot at wrestlemania on the line
00:33:00jay uso throwing caution to the wind to great effect a moment ago but there is still work to
00:33:06be done but this sort of happenstance has got to be viewed as good luck if you're jay uso
00:33:10or el grande americano having bronson reed neutralized for at least the past several minutes
00:33:17remains to be seen whether or not he'll be able to continue this matchup
00:33:21but this just means it's a one-on-one competition for the moment main event jay looking to make big
00:33:26things happen yeah but americano will not allow it forcing jay uso to lose his balance and now
00:33:32high risk area up toward the top of the ropes
00:33:37not a lot of real estate to work with on the turnbuckle here el grande americano
00:33:45americano
00:33:45and look at this
00:33:52jay uso fighting for self-preservation right here
00:33:57short jabs to the body looking to knock the wind out of americano and it's a long way down
00:34:07and jay now with an opportunity with el grande americano down center of the ring
00:34:11went for the usos
00:34:13and remember ropes will not force a break jay uso's got to find a way out of this move here
00:34:27uso trying to hang on
00:34:32nice roll over by jay uso
00:34:35americano hangs on
00:34:36jay with the ankle lock in
00:34:38jay uso trying to hang on
00:34:40desperately trying to hang on
00:34:41maybe he can make it to the ropes to force leverage here
00:34:44but uh
00:34:45yeah but jay is spending an inordinate amount of time in this submission
00:34:48this could prove to be disastrous for main event jay uso
00:34:52sooner or later
00:34:53your ankle's gonna pop something's gonna give
00:34:55big super kick
00:34:58oh rolling lager kick by americano

00:42:25Prepared for anything.
00:42:31Never knowing who the real threat is.
00:42:42Or who might show up at the table.
00:42:53WrestleMania Vegas.
00:42:58It's anyone's game.

00:43:40Meanwhile, back here on Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix, the winner of the Women's Royal
00:43:45Rumble, Liv Morgan in the ring with her boyfriend, Dominic Mysterio.
00:43:48Liv, well, admittedly had a rough week emotionally after her interview last week was interrupted
00:43:54by the world champion Stephanie Bacare.
00:43:58You have 10 years of hard work.
00:44:02You talking hard work.
00:44:04What are you talking about?
00:44:06Of course you have worked.
00:44:07You didn't have sacrificed anything.
00:44:10Everything you gave you, WWE.
00:44:12Your career started here.
00:44:13You should be ashamed.
00:44:16You should be hiding behind me.
00:44:18You're hiding behind me.
00:44:19You're hiding behind me.
00:44:20You're hiding behind me.
00:44:20You're hiding behind me.
00:44:22You're hiding behind me.
00:44:22You need to hide behind me.
00:44:25But I'm going to tell you something.
00:44:26If you choose me, you won't win.
00:44:32Because I'm going to teach you what a real champion is.
00:44:39She's not sure.
00:44:41I'm going to be a champion.
00:44:42You should be the best.
00:44:45Okay?
00:44:47Okay.
00:44:48Okay.
00:44:52Okay.
00:44:54Okay.
00:44:55Okay.
00:44:55Okay.
00:44:55Okay.
00:44:59Okay.
00:45:02Okay.
00:45:10You are in the presence of the greatest intercontinental champion, AAA Mega Campeon and Royal Rumble winner,
00:45:25of all time.
00:45:34And now, it is the moment you have all been waiting for.
00:45:40Liv is going to make her decision on who she will face at WrestleMania.
00:45:51So, will the champions please come out so my weirita can make her decision face-to-face?
00:46:01Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaker.
00:46:16You know, Corey, it was right here in Atlanta, Georgia last summer that started Stephanie Vaker's
00:46:22rise here in WWE.
00:46:24She won the Battle Royal at Evolution.
00:46:27She would go on, of course, to win the world title.
00:46:31What stood out to me most of all the controversial things Vaker said last week to Liv Forden
00:46:37was the fact that Stephanie Vaker feels as though she'd walked through hell and made it her own.
00:46:42La Primera is eager to take the grandest stage of them all and prove to the world that nobody
00:46:49can out-wrestle her.
00:46:50And one of the important points that Stephanie made was that she's done it on her own.
00:46:54She hasn't had any support.
00:46:56She hasn't had anybody backing her up.
00:46:58She hasn't had to hide behind anybody else like Liv Morgan has.
00:47:02Where Vaker came from in Chile, there really isn't any wrestling scene, so to speak.
00:47:08Stephanie literally had to travel the globe all in hopes of someday getting an opportunity
00:47:12to step through the doors of WWE.
00:47:14She's here and she's champ.
00:47:28WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill.
00:47:37Don may have mispronounced this because he's not allowed to look at other women.
00:47:40Oh, I get it.
00:47:41He's not familiar with pronunciations.
00:47:43I understand.
00:47:44If you had to wear it, you'd understand.
00:47:50I don't.
00:47:52You should get one.
00:47:53Tell my wife that.
00:47:56I don't know how anyone in their right mind can look at the physical specimen that is Jade Cargill
00:48:03and think to themselves, I want to fight her at WrestleMania.
00:48:08Yeah, Storm is coming to WrestleMania.
00:48:10Jade Cargill will defend the WWE Women's Championship.
00:48:14The only question is, who will she face?
00:48:17Will it be Liv?
00:48:18Will he be the winner of Saturday's Chamber match?
00:48:46I know you guys have been
00:48:49patiently waiting for me to decide who my Wrestlemania opponent is going to be, and I'm ready.
00:48:56I've decided, but there is something I'd like to get off my chest first, if that's okay.
00:49:05Stephanie, last week your words really caught me by surprise. I'm really not used to getting
00:49:13vulnerable like that, and I really thought about what you said. I thought about what you said all week.
00:49:22And you're right. You were right. I didn't realize how selfish I've been. I didn't realize
00:49:29how I've only been thinking about my own experience. I didn't realize how privileged
00:49:34I really was. You said I've had 10 years with the best medical, the best coaches, the best facilities,
00:49:42and even so I still thought that I was struggling. And to be honest, I really didn't know much about
00:49:49your story. I really didn't know too much. I didn't know that you had to scratch and claw and fight
00:49:5710
00:49:58years just to be here in WWE. And now that I know about your story, I just want to say
00:50:06that I'm sorry.
00:50:08I am sorry that I judged you. It is very clear to me that you are the champion that you
00:50:14are because
00:50:14of what you had to go through. But now I need to focus on my story. And with that being
00:50:22said...
00:50:50I think we have our answer.
00:50:53...as to who Liv's choice is at WrestleMania.
00:50:56And Liv Morgan not done yet. She felt like she was disrespected last week.
00:51:00Obviously, the words very hollow from Liv Morgan tonight. And to Corey's point,
00:51:05she apparently made her choice. The world champ at WrestleMania.
00:51:16Stephanie McCurr never had a chance after the cheap shot by the
00:51:21women's Royal Rumble winner.
00:51:27An oblivion!
00:51:32If that happens in Las Vegas at WrestleMania,
00:51:38this will be the sight we see. And new women's world champion Liv Morgan clarified a lot of things
00:51:49tonight. In 54 nights, Morgan will take on Stephanie McCurr for the women's world title. And we also know now
00:51:56that the winner of Saturday's Women's Elimination Chamber match will face Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Championship.
00:52:06When it looked like Morgan was about to address Cargill. Wham!
00:52:11Microphone shot right to the temple of La Primera. Followed by Oblivion.
00:52:18And Liv Morgan letting the world know she is locked in on Stephanie McCurr and the women's world championship.
00:52:35I'm currently standing by with the young OG, Javon Evans.
00:52:39Yo, yo, yo. What's up? What's up? What's up?
00:52:41Javon, last week, you outlasted Gunther.
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44You outlasted Dominic Mysterio.
00:52:45Yes, sir.
00:52:46And you earned a spot in the Elimination Chamber match.
00:52:49Come on.
00:52:50How are you feeling heading into the biggest opportunity of your career?
00:52:55I mean, I'm, I'm, nah, mama!
00:53:00What's up, yo?
00:53:01What's up? What's up, hey?
00:53:02What's up, hey?
00:53:03What's up, hey? What's up, hey?
00:53:04I had to pull up for AJ Tribute.
00:53:05Yo, yo.
00:53:06And you know, I'm pull up on you on Saturday.
00:53:08Okay.
00:53:08And you got Vodis as a theme song for the Elimination Chamber.
00:53:11Hey, hey, hey. That's all hard now.
00:53:13Hey, hey, hey. Give me a little feature though.
00:53:14You know, look. Y'all know what you mean?
00:53:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:53:17You mean to tell me that we are in Atlanta, Georgia,
00:53:22got a tribute show that's not for me?
00:53:24And then I see Offset out here giving Javon Evans his flowers and not me?
00:53:30As Atlanta's favorite son, I have to say I am disgusted.
00:53:34Yeah, hey, come on, Offset.
00:53:35We've been inviting you to Raw for years now, but you always say no.
00:53:38What's up with that, man?
00:53:39You know, you know they say, uh, New Day sucks.
00:53:42Oh!
00:53:45And if y'all trying to throw hands, then we can throw hands tonight.
00:53:49Oh, big man, what a challenge, an injured legend.
00:53:53Oh, okay.
00:53:54You got a couple wins under your belt.
00:53:55Now you're feeling yourself, huh?
00:53:56Oh, come on.
00:53:57Oh, okay.
00:53:58I love it, dude.
00:53:58Hey, go lace your boots up, boy.
00:54:00Oh, yeah?
00:54:01Lord knows you can never lace up mine.
00:54:03Oh.
00:54:04I guess we find out tonight, huh?
00:54:05Yeah.
00:54:06All right.
00:54:06You too set off.
00:54:08Youngblood.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09It's cap.
00:54:10Oh.
00:54:11Just a little talk.
00:54:12It's cap.
00:54:41We want to send a special thank you to Offset, J.I.D.,
00:54:425 Eastern to Pacific as we wet your appetite for what's to follow.
00:54:46The Elimination Chamber.
00:54:47The final PLE before WrestleMania gets underway 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific.
00:54:53And, of course, the post-show immediately following the main event this Saturday.
00:55:11The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:55:16Introducing first from Sacramento, California, Maxine Dupree.
00:55:25Well, Maxine Dupree has a score to settle tonight, but sometimes Corey shouldn't wish for something
00:55:30like Natty.
00:55:31I hope Maxine Dupree is ready to grit her teeth because she has got a fight on her hands in
00:55:37the form of Natty.
00:55:39Next.
00:55:44You know, Natty was very vocal on social media over the past few days leading to this
00:55:49matchup here tonight, basically talking about how Maxine was a trainee in the Hart Family
00:55:55Dungeon.
00:55:55But Natty, after the way she believes she was treated by Maxine, has revoked the Dungeon invite.
00:56:02You know what?
00:56:02I can't necessarily disagree with how Natty views the situation.
00:56:06I've seen it a million times over the years.
00:56:08Someone tastes a little bit of success, and then all of a sudden forgets where they came
00:56:12from.
00:56:13That's what Maxine did to Natty, and Natty's not about to let it go.
00:56:19Remember, these two met a couple of weeks ago, a matchup that ended in a double countout.
00:56:27And tonight is about the celebration of the phenomenal AJ Styles.
00:56:43AJ Styles, to me personally, he set a model for the type of man, type of professional,
00:56:50the type of family person you want to be.
00:56:52He made me better.
00:56:53I know he made a lot of other talent better.
00:56:55Just thank you, AJ, for being you.
00:56:58Never a time that he phoned it in.
00:57:00I'm really going to miss you, man.
00:57:02And thank you for everything.
00:57:04We all looked up to him.
00:57:05We all tried to be him.
00:57:06AJ's the best wrestler of our generation.
00:57:09I say thank you for being AJ Styles.
00:57:11Hey, AJ, congratulations on your retirement.
00:57:15Big Al, have fun, be safe with it, and we'll see you down the road.
00:57:19So sad to see you go, but happy that we have time with you.
00:57:22That we did.
00:57:22Thank you, AJ.
00:57:23Happy retirement.
00:57:25It was phenomenal and always will be phenomenal.
00:57:53And her opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, representing the Heart Family Dungeon, Natty.
00:58:07That's got to be an intimidating sight, watching Natty march down to the ring,
00:58:13especially if you're Maxine Dupree and you have trained with Natty.
00:58:17You are well aware firsthand of what Natty is capable of.
00:58:21And the low-key legend is ticked off tonight.
00:58:24Yeah, official Eddie Arango has his hands full on this one.
00:58:28Natty and Maxine moments away.
00:58:42WWE Backlash is coming to Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, May night.
00:58:48Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:58:55Highlight of the night is presented by Cricket 5G.
00:59:05It is all about the WWE Championship here.
00:59:09AJ Styles challenging Jinder Mahal.
00:59:12Will AJ Styles change the course of SmackDown history?
00:59:23Phenomenal four!
00:59:25One, two, three!
00:59:27Styles has done it again!
00:59:29Conquest in the United Kingdom for AJ Styles!
00:59:36You know, it's a celebration of AJ Styles, many who meant so much to him in his career are here
00:59:42tonight,
00:59:42including the Good Brothers.
00:59:45Anderson and Gallows along with Meech and part of the club.
00:59:48And of course, the Bullet Club, as was Tama Taga.
00:59:51Taga Lowe would join the Bullet Club after AJ Styles left, but they're all here to celebrate Styles tonight.
00:59:56Meanwhile in the ring, Natty and Maxine set to go one-on-one, and we are underway.
01:00:02And this is a very new, very brand new Natty, at least recently.
01:00:07I think this is just a new side of Natty.
01:00:10Yeah, exactly.
01:00:10Natty is finally getting to see. This Natty has been lying dormant for too long.
01:00:14And unfortunately for Maxine, she finds herself in its path tonight.
01:00:18Natalya elevates, Natty decimates, but it's Maxine taking the fight to Natty tonight and driving her through the ropes.
01:00:26And this is a vicious side of Maxine as she's driven though into the timekeeper's area.
01:00:31And a big kick catches Natty. Maxine bringing the fight to Natty tonight.
01:00:36Maxine off the barricade, cross body to Natty.
01:00:41Again, Maxine with a score to settle tonight. Natty cost her the intercontinental title.
01:00:45These guys battled through a double count out a couple of weeks back.
01:00:48This is a matter of respect for Natalya. I'm sorry.
01:00:52Natty, I like my teeth. I don't want them punched down my throat.
01:00:56Maxine learned everything she knows from the time spent in the dungeon with Natty.
01:01:02Wait a minute. Maxine hit the post hard face first and Maxine has not moved since that happened.
01:01:11The official's got to get down there and check on her.
01:01:14Natty, no. No, Natty, no. Come on.
01:01:16Come on. Get up. Come on.
01:01:17I think she's out cold.
01:01:19Let's go. Come on.
01:01:20Eddie, Eddie. Get in there, Eddie.
01:01:22Well, Natty taking advantage of a defenseless Maxine who hasn't moved since she ran face first into the ring post.
01:01:28Maxine. Maxine.
01:01:31And Natty.
01:01:32And Natty.
01:01:34Get some more help on her.
01:01:35Somebody's got to stop Natty.
01:01:37And Eddie Arango got a call for the bell.
01:01:41Here is your winner, as a result of referee stoppage, Natty.
01:01:48Look at that sick look on Natty's face.
01:01:50The right call by Eddie Arango to protect Natty and protect Maxine from any further damage.
01:02:07And Natty is very proud of herself.
01:02:12All right, I'm so excited.
01:02:14Stefan has no idea what I'm going to be in WrestleMania.
01:02:18But are you excited?
01:02:19I'm happy for you.
01:02:20You feel good about tonight?
01:02:21Tonight's going to be a kick walk, sis.
01:02:22I'll tell you, Kyrie, EO, easy.
01:02:24I already got a game plan and everything.
01:02:25You know what I'm saying?
01:02:27It's going to be super easy.
01:02:29Mate, I just want to clear the air about last week, all right?
01:02:33I'm sorry for being a hothead.
01:02:35You know, you've done so much for me in my career.
01:02:37You brought me into the family.
01:02:39You're like my brother.
01:02:40I just want what's best for you.
01:02:41I just want you to be the world champion, all right?
01:02:45JD, brothers fight, but we always make up.
01:02:48It's water under the bridge.
01:02:50Love that.
01:02:51You will see me become champ.
01:02:52But at Chamber, I got to do this alone.
01:02:56You will.
01:02:57Hey, guys.
01:03:00My bad.
01:03:02Last week, you guys left me hanging, and that's why I lost.
01:03:06Finn, I understand you want to do this on your own, but I don't.
01:03:10And next week, I got to defend my IC championship against Penta.
01:03:14So can I count on you guys or what?
01:03:15Of course you can't, dude.
01:03:16I'm sorry that we weren't there.
01:03:18I'm sorry, Dom.
01:03:20I've been focusing on the biggest match of my career.
01:03:24Now, when you guys were hurt, and I had no one watching my back,
01:03:30I didn't blame you.
01:03:32I held my own.
01:03:34Maybe that's what you should do.
01:03:37It's time to take some responsibility, Dominic.
01:03:40And grow up.
01:03:46I'll talk to him.
01:03:47We'll be there for you next week.
01:03:49Finn Balor calling this the biggest match of his career.
01:03:52Corey, he understands that he has the opportunity to alter one of the greatest
01:03:56main events in WrestleMania history.
01:03:58Understandable.
01:03:59Finn Balor, I spoke with earlier today, and I've never seen that level of focus
01:04:03in Balor's eyes.
01:04:04This is a man I've known for over a decade, and I have never seen Finn quite as locked
01:04:08in as he is ahead of Chicago.
01:04:10Punk Balor for the world title in Chicago on Saturday.
01:04:13Meanwhile, major news in the world of boxing last Friday.
01:04:18Conor Benn, the British star, coming off two huge sold-out events against Chris Eubank,
01:04:23Jr. at Tottenham's Hotspur Stadium, has signed with Zufa Boxing.
01:04:27Conor Benn, a box office attraction.
01:04:30One of the UK's biggest stars entering his prime, and now signed to Zufa.
01:04:36Stay tuned for more details on Conor's next fight.
01:04:39Who will Conor's first opponent be?
01:04:47And coming up next, the beast incarnate Brock Lesnar is here, live.
01:05:03And Leonor.

01:05:35Well, Trick Williams, earlier tonight, we saw Jey Uso become the final competitor to
01:05:41qualify for the men's elimination chamber match.
01:05:44This is your first elimination chamber, so I have to ask you, how are you feeling about
01:05:49the five other competitors, and what's your strategy heading in?
01:05:54Reporting to you live, the sexiest and most entertaining superstar live.
01:06:00Trick Williams has finally arrived.
01:06:06And the truth is, I wasn't supposed to be here tonight, but somebody told me Atlanta got
01:06:15the best chicken wings in the world.
01:06:20I said, huh, imagine that.
01:06:24Since Atlanta got the best chicken wings, maybe it's only right that I showed up with my
01:06:34lemon pepper steppers.
01:06:40But nah, for real, I understand this.
01:06:43Trick Williams, they called me Miss to get the job done.
01:06:46And that's exactly what I'm going to do Saturday at the elimination chamber.

01:12:18-rex if I don't move he's like a t-rex if I don't move he's like a t-rex if

01:12:34if I don't move he's like a t-rex if I don't move
01:12:41Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
01:12:48Yes, I am a wise man. Yes, I am an oracle.
01:12:56My name is Paul Heyman.
01:13:00But most of all, I am the advocate for the beast, Barack Leicester.
01:13:15A little bit of a history lesson for all of you.
01:13:20Traditionally, WrestleMania had two main events.
01:13:25The title match and the Undertaker's streak.
01:13:33Now, need I have to remind you, my client, Brock Lesnar,
01:13:41conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
01:13:48Which means that main event spot went to Brock Lesnar.
01:13:55And now, the only dead man walking in WWE
01:14:01is the one that comes down the aisle to face Brock Lesnar.
01:14:15So I know what you're all asking.
01:14:18Who will fight Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania?
01:14:26I don't have a prediction.
01:14:29I don't even have a spoiler for you.
01:14:32Because when Brock Lesnar and I walked through that locker room,
01:14:37there wasn't one person that was man enough that I could identify
01:14:42that would step up and take the ass-kicking of biblical proportions
01:14:48that await them at WrestleMania against Brock Lesnar.
01:14:56Let me go even deeper than that.
01:14:59In an effort of full transparency, these are the appearances that Brock Lesnar is going to make
01:15:10on the road to WrestleMania.
01:15:14And at any time, any man is willing to go down in history
01:15:22by taking the absolute worst victimization possible
01:15:28in front of a global audience at the grandest stage of them all,
01:15:33then all that man has to do is come down that aisle
01:15:38and get up in the face of Brock Lesnar.
01:15:47But I don't think that's going to happen.
01:15:50I don't think that anyone is going to answer Brock Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania.
01:16:01Because if you take a good look at that locker room, let's be honest,
01:16:08you can have all the title matches you want.
01:16:12The real main event at WrestleMania is whomever's going to get their ass kicked and conquered
01:16:20versus Brock Lesnar.
01:16:26And there's no one, no one in that locker room with the balls
01:16:35to take that ass-kicking at WrestleMania from Brock Lesnar.
01:16:48Well, Corey, it's a double-edged sword.
01:16:50I mean, you take the open challenge, and you can make your career
01:16:55if you can beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
01:16:58But there's the other problem if you have to take on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
01:17:02You may not make it out of Las Vegas.
01:17:04There is no one in their right mind in this locker room or any other locker room
01:17:08who should be crazy enough to step up to the Beast Incarnate,
01:17:13particularly on the grandest stage of them all.
01:17:16This is the man who ended The Undertaker's streak.
01:17:20Just imagine what he could do to anyone else's career.
01:17:30Hey, Jaylee, you think you can stand out there and compare resumes with me?
01:17:34What have you ever done, huh?
01:17:36You held one butterfly belt.
01:17:39I changed the entire game.
01:17:42I was the first woman to win the main event of WrestleMania.
01:17:46I was the first woman on the cover of the video game,
01:17:49and it was a lot better than your complete moron of a husband's.
01:17:54I have taken this business to heights that you cannot and will not ever reach,
01:18:00even just this title.
01:18:02I have taken it and made it the most talked about,
01:18:06the most represented title in all of WWE.
01:18:12You do not deserve to hold this,
01:18:18but I deserve to get rid of you
01:18:21and retire you in front of all of your friends and family
01:18:26in your hometown of Chicago.
01:18:28Chicago, you'll still be the least talented AJ to retire this year.
01:18:34But looking for me,
01:18:36I'll still be the greatest female wrestler of all time,
01:18:38and it's not just me saying it.
01:18:39Other people are saying it.
01:18:41Everybody's saying it.
01:18:42Sports Illustrated is saying it.
01:18:43The Bleacher Report is saying it.
01:18:46Saturday at Elimination Chamber,
01:18:48I prove it.
01:18:54AJ Lee will have the home field advantage
01:18:57in her hometown of Chicago, Illinois,
01:19:00if she looks to win the Intercontinental Championship.
01:19:04AJ's first one-on-one match in a decade,
01:19:07her first title match in 11 years,
01:19:09as she has to knock off one of the all-time greats
01:19:13in Becky Lynch to win the gold.
01:19:21Yo, boy, it's bouncy.
01:19:26Yo, boy, it's bouncy.
01:19:27Yo, boy, it's bouncy.
01:19:29Yo, boy, it's bouncy.

01:19:45Yo, boy, it's bouncy.
01:19:45Yo, boy, it's bouncy.
01:19:54It's Offset!
