00:03:41You're going to get it.
00:03:42You seem to be so hell-bent on preventing Cody Rhodes to get another shot at you.
00:03:47Well, guess what?
00:03:48This Friday night on SmackDown, it is Drew McIntyre versus Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship.
00:03:57Boy, he punched his ticket to WrestleMania.
00:04:00But who will be champion when we get to Las Vegas?
00:04:06I can swallow up, bottle up, and wall it up.
00:04:09And the road to WrestleMania kicks into high gear tonight here in the city that hosted the 2025 Royal Rumble.
00:04:31After Saturday's Elimination Chamber event, CM Punk is still the world champion.
00:04:36And his wife, AJ Lee, is the new Women's Intercontinental Champion.
00:04:40They're here live tonight.
00:04:42Also here in the Judgment Day, a big night for Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:04:47He defends his Intercontinental Championship versus the spectacular Penta tonight.
00:04:52The career killer, the ring general, Gunther, is on a mission to destroy a man who's been a thorn in
00:04:59his side as of late.
00:05:01It's Gunther, Dragon Lee, tonight.
00:05:03And the winner of the Royal Rumble, the man who faces CM Punk for the world title at WrestleMania, the
00:05:11OTC.
00:05:12Roman Reigns returns live to Raw.
00:05:22Aaman in the vision.
00:05:25Ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:29Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
00:05:40his name is austin theory he is the most famous personality on the face of the planet today
00:05:52logan paul
00:05:57this is where someone is supposed to come out and say welcome to monday night raw
00:06:06this is where they're supposed to say live from indianapolis indiana
00:06:21well i hate to piss on everyone's raid but excuse me while i whip this out
00:06:30we are here tonight to talk about seth freaking rollins
00:06:45the single biggest thief in the history
00:07:08i hate that freaking song
00:07:17and i hate seth freaking rollins
00:07:23seth rollins stole the credit for co-founding the vision from me
00:07:32he's not worthy of that credit seth rollins stole the credit for co-founding the shield
00:07:41and he doesn't deserve that but that's not my problem anymore
00:07:47what is my problem is that seth rollins stole the elimination chamber
00:07:53and therefore stole the main event of wrestlemania from logan paul
00:08:09ladies and gentlemen
00:08:11seth rollins
00:08:21that's worthy of living and mr lynch is not one of them and we are going to do something about
00:08:33that
00:08:33because the next time seth rollins is in a wwe ring we are going to stomp his ass out
00:08:51that's not a prediction that's not a spoiler that is a personal guarantee from the three of us
00:09:04in the vision
00:09:17here's my theory
00:09:24and let's see if all you idiots can follow it
00:09:28seth freaking rollins
00:09:30you and i
00:09:31get it through your thick skull
00:09:33okay we had nothing to do with what happened to jay uso
00:09:37but if you want we can plead guilty in advance
00:09:41for what we will do
00:09:43to seth
00:09:44freaking
00:09:46rollins
00:09:50i'm glad you brought up his name
00:09:51because here's the deal
00:09:53i need to have a conversation with seth rollins
00:09:55but with you three out here
00:09:57i can't have a conversation
00:09:58because seth is bound to do something stupid
00:10:01which is why i have my security here
00:10:03seth rollins should be left to me
00:10:05because he is not
00:10:07medically cleared to compete
00:10:09so if you please leave the ring
00:10:12and let me carry on
00:10:13with my broadcast
00:10:15hey look out
00:10:19that hooded dude just jumped over the barricade
00:10:22and now security
00:10:25security chasing him out of the arena
00:10:53heyman understandably cautious looks like he just saw a ghost
00:10:56well he's
00:10:58looking into the eyes of one now
00:11:02heyman is nowhere to go
00:11:10heyman pleading
00:11:24oh no paul you better uh
00:11:27you might want to turn around
00:11:31oh
00:11:32seth rollins
00:11:40the visionary is here
00:12:08paul heyman just got his ass
00:12:12stopped down
00:12:13stop down
00:12:44Deja vu tonight in Indianapolis.
00:12:47Well, if history has taught us anything, it's that the architect, Seth Rollins, always has a plan.
00:12:56I mean, Corey, there were masked men everywhere.
00:12:59Obviously, decoys for this trap by Rollins as he stomps his former Oracle.
00:13:06Rollins carrying out a personal vendetta tonight.
00:13:16Well, emergency medical personnel and officials have made their way to the ring to attend to Paul Heyman,
00:13:23who moments ago was stomped through the mat by Seth freaking Rollins.
00:13:29It was a master plan, Corey.
00:13:31Decoys everywhere of hooded and masked individuals before Rollins struck.
00:13:36Well, undoubtedly, Rollins achieving a measure of catharsis at the expense of his former Oracle,
00:13:41who appears to be busted wide open.
00:13:46But Heyman's a 60-year-old man, Cole.
00:13:48He's not a competitor.
00:13:49He's not an athlete.
00:13:50Well, Heyman should have thought about that before he turned on Rollins months ago.
00:13:59Again, I said it on a Sunday, on Saturday, Corey, during the Elimination Chamber, Rollins gave birth to the vision.
00:14:07He was excommunicated from that group, and now he's back seeking his revenge.
00:14:12Rollins, no doubt, back with a vengeance tonight, taking out the Oracle.
00:14:17There's still work to be done.
00:14:19And Rollins, even in absentia, has been a thorn in the side of the vision for months now.
00:14:30Heyman, bust it up.
00:14:35Again, I don't condone attacking a non-competitor, but you do reap what you sow.
00:14:42He's done a lot of that over the years.
00:14:47He's done a lot of that over the years.
00:14:50Man, what a chaotic start to Monday Night Raw.
00:14:55With five different masked men, the fifth, of course, being Rollins.
00:15:00Watch your step here, Paul.
00:15:01Watch your step.
00:15:03Watch your step.
00:15:04Watch your step.
00:15:05Watch your step.
00:15:06Watch your step.
00:15:07Watch your step.
00:15:11Again, let's show you what happened just a moment ago.
00:15:15Paul Heyman was concerned about that obvious decoy in the entranceway when Mr. Rollins would appear.
00:15:24Rollins unmasks before delivering the metaphorical dagger to the back of the Oracle.
00:15:31I mean, you can't blame Rollins.
00:15:33No.
00:15:33I understand the frustration of Rollins.
00:15:35The vision stabbed him in the back.
00:15:37Cost him months of his career.
00:15:39And the exclamation point, a Seth freaking Rollins stomp in the center of the ring.
00:16:20Well, Paul Heyman was concerned about that decoy in the aisleway, but it was Seth Rollins who would once again
00:16:26appear.
00:16:27A series of masked men finally ending with the visionary himself who delivered the chair shot to the spine of
00:16:35his former Oracle.
00:16:37You reap what you sow, Mr. Heyman.
00:16:41And how good this must have felt for Seth Rollins and everything that he and Heyman have been through over
00:16:48the past year.
00:16:50And then Heyman being helped out of the arena.
00:17:06Heyman, what is wrong with him?
00:17:08What is wrong?
00:17:09Even tell me now.
00:17:10Do something.
00:17:11Stop the bleeding.
00:17:12Stop.
00:17:13Are you good?
00:17:14Are you good?
00:17:15Stop.
00:17:15I'm going to get the car.
00:17:16I'm going to get the car.
00:17:17He's getting the car.
00:17:18He's going to have a good job.
00:17:20I'm going to get the car.
00:17:21Come on.
00:17:23Shut it up.
00:17:23Wise man.
00:17:24It's going to be all right.
00:17:25It's going to be all right.
00:17:27It's going to be okay.
00:17:29It's going to be okay.
00:17:30Logan.
00:17:31Let's go, man.
00:17:32Come on.
00:17:33Hey.
00:17:34Wise man.
00:17:34Oh.
00:17:36Jimmy Uso.
00:17:39Oh.
00:17:40Jimmy Uso.
00:17:41Assaulting Austin Theory.
00:17:45I used to say he believes that the vision had something to do with his attack on his brother Friday,
00:17:50Jey Uso.
00:17:58Let's work there.
00:17:59I'll take it from here.
00:18:00Yeah.
00:18:01Don't worry, boys.
00:18:02He'll get the help he needs.
00:18:04Yeah.
00:18:09Oh, no.
00:18:10Paul Heyman going for a ride now, courtesy of L.A. Knight.
00:18:13What the heck is happening?
00:18:15All the vision's enemies are coming out to get him.
00:18:41The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:18:47Hey, Dragon Lee.
00:18:50They're supposed to have a mess tonight, and now Dragon Lee attacking Gunther in the entranceway.
00:18:55Dragon Lee not willing to wait for the opening bell.
00:18:57This is absolute madness to kick off Monday Night Raw tonight.
00:19:01Dragon Lee has been going after Gunther for weeks ever since Gunther retired.
00:19:07Dragon Lee's buddy, AJ Styles.
00:19:11Dragon Lee refusing to stand by idly as Gunther has taken multiple victory laps at the expense of the phenomenal
00:19:17one.
00:19:18Oh, my God.
00:19:19Oh, what a chaotic start.
00:19:20Oh, my God.
00:19:20What a chaotic start.
00:19:30I mean, this Dragon Lee has been like a gnat to Gunther over the past number of weeks.
00:19:35Came out here on fire, but Gunther just launched him into the timekeeper's area.
00:19:40Don't undersell the capabilities of Dragon Lee.
00:19:42This is no gnat.
00:19:43This is a world-class luchador who was just launched through the skies of Indianapolis, courtesy of the career killer,
00:19:51out of absolute desperation.
00:19:54Gunther now with a few valuable moments to compose himself as our official makes sure that Dragon Lee is fit
00:20:00to compete after that nasty landing in the timekeeper's area.
00:20:04And Gunther looks just ticked off.
00:20:06And Dragon Lee, I understand what he was trying to do there, but I'm not sure you want to put
00:20:10Gunther in a foul move before the match even begins.
00:20:13And you're absolutely right, Cole.
00:20:14You cannot allow Gunther to utilize your emotions against you.
00:20:18That's what's happening to Dragon Lee.
00:20:19Gunther is absolutely calculated.
00:20:22He's like a hitman or an assassin.
00:20:24It's just business.
00:20:25But if Gunther gets under your skin and makes you see red as Dragon Lee is, it can spell lights
00:20:31out in a hurry.
00:20:32I think we're about to witness an alacious beatdown.
00:20:37And now Dragon Lee drawing the ire of the career killer, the ring general.
00:20:44The man who retired Goldberg and Cena and AJ Styles, absolute legends in the business.
00:20:52Gunther nearly putting Dragon Lee through the ring.
00:20:57And, Corey, let's not forget what Dragon Lee cost Gunther a couple of weeks back.
00:21:03An opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:21:06And Gunther certainly has not forgiven nor forgotten what Dragon Lee cost him.
00:21:12And now the ring general looking to extract his pound of flesh from the luchador.
00:21:18I'm afraid this might be a public dissection.
00:21:22Oof!
00:21:25What an uppercut!
00:21:26Oh, Lord!
00:21:29That uppercut echoed all the way back to Chicago from here in Indianapolis.
00:21:33Senior official Chad Patton checking on Dragon Lee there.
00:21:37That was a vicious uppercut.
00:21:41It can be argued that Dragon Lee has been red hot as of late, building a lot of momentum prior
00:21:46to this showdown with the ring general.
00:21:48Dragon Lee becoming the number one contender to the AAA Cruiserweight Championship just this Saturday night.
00:21:54But now, the ring general.
00:21:57Well, he started there with a Cruiserweight.
00:21:58You're absolutely right.
00:21:59This is a different scenario.
00:22:01I'm just talking about mentally speaking.
00:22:03Dragon Lee fighting for the honor of his good friend and former tag partner AJ Styles.
00:22:09Lee has a great deal on his mind, but Gunther just on point as always.
00:22:21Well, this match is now underway.
00:22:23Gunther and Dragon Lee, first time ever, one-on-one.
00:22:27Dragon Lee came out of the gates cooking as Gunther trying to take the mask off Dragon Lee.
00:22:32But Dragon Lee paid for it when he was launched into the timekeeper's area, and it's been all Gunther since.
00:22:38Dragon Lee had the right idea.
00:22:40You've got to try to look for any sort of early advantage you can.
00:22:45And look at the back of Dragon Lee, all welted up after suffering that massive backdrop into the timekeeper's area.
00:22:51No doubt his chest is going to match momentarily, courtesy of those thunderous knife-edge chops of the career killer.
00:22:58This all began when Dragon Lee took offense to the way that Gunther talked about the retirement of Dragon Lee's
00:23:04former tag partner, his friend AJ Styles.
00:23:07A couple of weeks ago, Dragon Lee cost Gunther an opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:23:15Dragon Lee still fighting back.
00:23:20Big boot!
00:23:29Take another look as Dragon Lee tried to step on the gas pedal, instead was met with a massive boot
00:23:36to the jaw.
00:23:37You know, since Gunther appeared on the scene and here on the main roster about four years ago, do you
00:23:42realize he's never lost a non-title singles match?
00:23:47I mean, incredible.
00:23:48It sounds surreal to say out loud, but it is factually accurate.
00:23:52And Gunther always eager to remind the world that he is the best professional wrestler in the world today.
00:24:01And the way this is going, I don't think that streak is in any danger.
00:24:05Where's your friend?
00:24:06Where's AJ?
00:24:07Huh?
00:24:08And now Gunther mocking a fallen Dragon Lee.
00:24:11You gotta think, at this juncture, it's about punishment.
00:24:14It's about Gunther making Dragon Lee pay for being a thorn in his side.
00:24:18And this isn't about disrespect.
00:24:20This is tactical.
00:24:21Gunther's trying to get in the head of Dragon Lee.
00:24:25Gunther doesn't care about the Lucha tradition.
00:24:27No, it's about beating the hell out of anybody who's in front of him.
00:24:30This guy's a Terminator.
00:24:38Gunther's trying to somehow fight back into this match.
00:24:41That kicks Gunther, and that went as well.
00:24:43Dragon's gonna have to rely on his speed, dealing with the much more powerful Ring General.
00:24:48A series of chops.
00:24:49Here comes Dragon.
00:24:50Oh!
00:24:51Clothesline turns him inside out.
00:24:52I was just about to say, Dragon Lee may have lost a tooth.
00:24:55Cover.
00:24:55Hook to the leg.
00:24:56Kick at it, too.
00:24:57I was about to say, Dragon Lee's gotta get imaginative with his offense here tonight.
00:25:01To have any opportunity.
00:25:02We know Dragon Lee has the capability, but how do you prepare for that type of impact?
00:25:08That can turn your lights out in the blink of an eye.
00:25:13Once again, just punishing it.
00:25:15And this is about sending a message to Dragon Lee.
00:25:17I can do whatever the heck I want to you.
00:25:20I am the career killer.
00:25:21I call the shots around here.
00:25:23On a larger scale, it's about sending a message to everybody, right?
00:25:26Yes, sir.
00:25:26Who wants to step up next?
00:25:28Oh, great counter by Dragon Lee.
00:25:29He did a pin in combination and a kick at it, too.
00:25:33Dragon Lee showing some spark now.
00:25:36Trying to take Gunther off his feet, but that chop just drops Dragon Lee.
00:25:40And every time Dragon tries to get something going, he's just stopped in his tracks.
00:25:45Gunther's hand has become the axe that clears the forest in WWE.
00:25:50Oh, look at it.
00:25:51Put Dragon to sleep on the apron, as we saw in the past.
00:25:54And Dragon Lee now with a kick to Gunther, stuns him.
00:25:57Gunther's in trouble.
00:25:58And now Dragon Lee going to take to the skies.
00:26:01Able to roll through.
00:26:02There's the quickness, and Gunther gets caught up on the top rope.
00:26:05Dragon Lee's got an opportunity now.
00:26:07Drop kick drops Gunther to an E.
00:26:09One to the face.
00:26:11Lee found a little bit of daylight and is looking to capitalize to the maximum here.
00:26:16Drop kicks Gunther onto the ring.
00:26:18Gunther driven out to the floor.
00:26:22Dragon Lee going to fly with a suicide dive, but he's caught by Gunther, who drives him kidney
00:26:28first in the apron, and the chop drops Dragon Lee.
00:26:40I mean, every time Dragon Lee gets something going, Gunther's right there to meet him.
00:26:50And Gunther in the ring to break up the count, momentarily, as the official continues to count
00:26:56at a count of four now with Dragon Lee.
00:26:59And you've got to respect Dragon Lee for trying to put a little respect back on the name of
00:27:04AJ Styles after Gunther desecrated it for weeks on end.
00:27:08But Dragon Lee's motivations are admirable.
00:27:13Unfortunately, he put himself in harm's way.
00:27:16But again, you're in the ring now with a man who's operating at a completely different level.
00:27:23It sounds ridiculous to say out loud, but Gunther is a little closer to machine than he is man these
00:27:28days.
00:27:29This man has one speed.
00:27:31It's full.
00:27:32It is dominant.
00:27:33It is dangerous.
00:27:35Got a seven, Dragon Lee back into the ring.
00:27:37And the other thing about Gunther, he's remorseless.
00:27:40He doesn't care about anybody.
00:27:42He cares about one person, and that's himself.
00:27:44And Gunther seems to not take things personally.
00:27:47And I think that's why the ring general is so effective.
00:27:50It's just another night at the office for the ring general.
00:27:53Although, just to argue a bit, Corey, it seems like he's taken the Dragon Lee assaults the last few weeks
00:27:59personal.
00:27:59That someone the stature of Dragon Lee, a cruiserweight, as we mentioned earlier,
00:28:03would stand up to the mighty Gunther.
00:28:05You're absolutely right, but once the bell rings, Gunther is automatic.
00:28:09It's like he has been programmed for destruction.
00:28:12You're talking about when the bell rings inside the squared circle, completely focused on the task at hand.
00:28:16Absolutely.
00:28:24This has been an absolute beatdown.
00:28:26There's been flurries here and there from Dragon Lee.
00:28:32Gunther now taking his time.
00:28:35It's all about punishment.
00:28:39Part of me thinks Gunther could have ended this match by now.
00:28:41It's like he's playing with his food.
00:28:45Unfortunately, when you're dealing with someone as talented as Dragon Lee,
00:28:48that's a risky decision if you're the ring general.
00:28:50Yeah, young man who's used resilience to help him throughout his career.
00:28:54Second generation superstar.
00:28:56Gunther had a backbreaker.
00:28:58Knee to the spine.
00:29:01Well, that'll take the high-flying offense out.
00:29:05Damaging the lower back of your opponent limits their offense so severely.
00:29:09You can't accomplish practically anything when your core has been attacked and damaged.
00:29:14I think to your point, Gunther could probably put Dragon Lee away whenever he wants.
00:29:20Again, sending a message, making a statement to everyone here on Monday Night Raw.
00:29:38And Corey, every flurry from Dragon Lee has been met with malice from Gunther.
00:29:44But unfortunately for Dragon Lee, the crowd here in Indianapolis beginning to taunt Gunther with you tapped out chants.
00:29:50Unfortunately, Gunther only has one person in front of him to take out that angst.
00:29:54Gunther started a toy with Dragon Lee, and Dragon took offense to that.
00:29:57But again, Gunther with the right hand.
00:29:59And now Dragon Lee up, looking for a powerbomb.
00:30:02Dragon Lee, though, able.
00:30:03Went for a boot, blocked momentarily.
00:30:06There's a clothesline.
00:30:07Gunther still on his feet.
00:30:09Lee has been unable to sustain much offense at all in this matchup, save for a few maneuvers here and
00:30:14there.
00:30:15Big back body drop.
00:30:16Landed hard.
00:30:17And now into the sweeper.
00:30:19Trying to know.
00:30:20Went for the mask again.
00:30:21Thought he was going to go for the sweeper.
00:30:22Decided to grab the mask, and Dragon Lee made him pay for it.
00:30:25Look out below!
00:30:27And that basement drop kick into the corner to Gunther.
00:30:31And now Dragon Lee starting to feel it a little bit.
00:30:33But he's got to stay on the attack.
00:30:34He cannot waste any motion here.
00:30:37Looking for Operation Dragon, perhaps.
00:30:39But Gunther picked him out.
00:30:40Oh, my!
00:30:41The air off the slam.
00:30:43Cover!
00:30:43Kick out at two!
00:30:46Gunther delivering something of an Emerald Frozen made famous by Mitsaru Masawa.
00:30:54Driving Dragon Lee into the center of the ring and nearly ending this battle.
00:30:59But once again, credit where it's due to Dragon Lee for being able to withstand this onslaught from the career
00:31:05killer.
00:31:05Yeah, a little bit of disbelief by Gunther that time.
00:31:08But Lee was actually able to kick out of that.
00:31:11Once again, looking for a powerbomb that's so successful.
00:31:20I mean, you can think at all if you're Dragon Lee, you might want to start considering self-preservation because
00:31:25things are only going to get worse.
00:31:30Another epic powerbomb by Gunther.
00:31:35And into the cover to put Dragon Lee away.
00:31:38And no, Gunther said, uh-uh.
00:31:40I want to punish him some more.
00:31:41He shouldn't have stepped up to me.
00:31:43He shouldn't have tried to defend the honor of AJ Styles.
00:31:46I'm going to make an example of him.
00:31:49Gunther reminding Dragon Lee that he knows no mercy.
00:32:00I don't know what Gunther has in mind, but it is not good for Dragon Lee.
00:32:04Oh, man.
00:32:06Onto the ring apron.
00:32:07Almost a powerbomb into the ring.
00:32:09Oh, God.
00:32:09Oh, God.
00:32:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:32:10Gunther outside the ring and a powerbomb right on our table.
00:32:13What's up?
00:32:14Chad, come check on him.
00:32:16We've got to think about stopping this.
00:32:18Chad, Chad, check on him.
00:32:21He may have a broken back.
00:32:28A count of four now by the official Chad Patton.
00:32:32I can't believe I'm saying this, but count faster, Chad.
00:32:35Speed up the count, Chad.
00:32:36Let's go.
00:32:37End this thing.
00:32:38A count of seven.
00:32:39And look at Gunther now.
00:32:40Gunther wants to punish him some more.
00:32:42Gunther going out to assault Dragon Lee some more.
00:32:46Dragon Lee.
00:32:47No.
00:32:47Sunset flip to Gunther.
00:32:50Gunther landed high on his shoulders and the base of his neck.
00:32:54I don't know where Dragon Lee was able to summon that offense from.
00:32:58Gunther.
00:33:00He may think twice about going out of the ring after Dragon Lee.
00:33:04He could have won this match by a countout, I do believe.
00:33:07And I think what we just saw was a modicum of overconfidence from the ring general.
00:33:12And I can't blame Gunther.
00:33:14Count of seven.
00:33:17Count of eight.
00:33:18Gunther to the apron.
00:33:20Drop kick by Dragon Lee.
00:33:22Drops Gunther right in front of us now.
00:33:23Dragon Lee going to fly.
00:33:25Suicide dive.
00:33:26Dropped the underwear announce table.
00:33:30Now it's Dragon Lee looking to go scorched earth on the ring general.
00:33:34Dragon Lee has survived and then some.
00:33:37He's got the ring general on his heels and in deep, deep trouble here.
00:33:45Indeed it is.
00:33:47I agree, Indy.
00:33:48Dragon Lee.
00:33:50Operation Dragon.
00:33:52On the outside.
00:33:55Chad Patton counts at six.
00:33:58Count of seven.
00:34:00Dragon Lee may win this by countout.
00:34:02Count of eight.
00:34:03Gunther's down.
00:34:04Gunther's down.
00:34:05Count of nine.
00:34:06And Gunther drags himself in the ring.
00:34:09With a fraction of a second remaining.
00:34:12Gunther's back in.
00:34:14And Dragon Lee went for a close line again.
00:34:16Now a drop kick.
00:34:17Gunther's in deep, deep trouble here.
00:34:19He's reeling, Corey.
00:34:20Gunther's reeling.
00:34:21And there down goes Gunther.
00:34:25I don't know where Dragon Lee found it.
00:34:29Can he do it?
00:34:30A massive upset went for Operation Dragon again.
00:34:33But Gunther countered.
00:34:35Countered into a sleeper.
00:34:36Sleeper hold is in.
00:34:39And now Dragon took the mask off.
00:34:43Gunther ripped off the mask.
00:34:45The sleeper.
00:34:47And a tap out.
00:34:48The match is over.
00:34:50Gunther will not let go of this hold.
00:35:02Here is your winner, by submission, the ring general, Gunther.
00:35:11Well, it was a battle that Gunther wasn't expected to have.
00:35:14And it was a display of heart on a whole different level from Dragon Lee.
00:35:19Here we see Gunther on a roll.
00:35:22A powerbomb nearly put the Dragon through the ring.
00:35:25Followed up with one to the apron.
00:35:28And here's where Gunther looked to end.
00:35:30Not only the night.
00:35:31Not just the match.
00:35:32Perhaps the career of Dragon Lee.
00:35:35But miraculously, Lee was able to turn the tides back into his favor.
00:35:41Deliver Operation Dragon on the floor.
00:35:44And then when he looked to seal the deal, this is where the in-ring expertise of the general paid
00:35:50dividends.
00:35:51Gunther ripping off the mask of Dragon Lee.
00:35:54Knowing that was going to force panic in the luchador.
00:35:57Allowing Gunther to cinch the sleeper in even deeper.
00:36:01And pick up a win over Dragon Lee.
00:36:05And what a match.
00:36:07What a battle.
00:36:08What an effort by Dragon Lee.
00:36:11Use this as an example.
00:36:31What a battle.
00:36:32What a battle.
00:36:35Let me lose.
00:36:37You should not be in the chamber.
00:36:39I know, how am I?
00:36:41But someone.
00:36:43What a battle.
00:36:45What a battle.
00:36:46Last week.
00:36:47Last week.
00:36:48What a battle.
00:36:48You said.
00:36:49You said, I did good.
00:36:52Huh?
00:36:53I did good.
00:36:55I did good?
00:36:57Where are you talking about?
00:36:59What are you talking about with us?
00:37:00What are you talking about?
00:37:12Hey, girl, you good?
00:37:16Just blink twice if you need any help, or...
00:37:24Kairi!
00:37:30Well, our new Intercontinental Champion, A.J. Lee, joins us live next.
00:38:30Transcription by CastingWords
00:38:30old man get curb stopped. What is wrong with you? Do you have any idea what my wise man has
00:38:40done
00:38:40for this business? Any idea what we have done for this business? You have no respect. Show some
00:38:48respect for Paul Heyman. I don't understand, Austin. I got a disconnect here. We are the good
00:38:58guys. We are the ones getting screwed. I don't understand. Every single time getting screwed
00:39:06over Seth Rollins, Adam Pearce, Nick Aldis, we are the good guys. And tonight, you, my friend, are
00:39:15going to prove that to everyone by beating Jimmy Uso. That's right. Jimmy Uso, you want to sneak
00:39:22attack me? You want to run up on me? Well, I'm going to meet your ass in that ring tonight.
00:39:27Hey, and when you get in there, there ain't no dumb sing-along dances. There ain't no one
00:39:33word, uh-uhs. You know what it's going to be tonight? Tonight, you're going to see it. Tonight,
00:39:40you're going to feel it. That is pressure.
00:39:48Fury and Jimmy Uso tonight.
00:39:54Jimmy Uso may be feeling the pressure tonight of Austin Theory, who's in a nasty, nasty mood. Well,
00:40:03Jimmy obviously believes that the vision were responsible for the attack on his brother,
00:40:07Jay, this past Friday on SmackDown, costing Jay an opportunity in the chamber. It may be a little
00:40:11early to be casting aspersions, but I understand Jimmy Uso's thought process. I mean, who benefited
00:40:16most from Jay being taken out? Logan Paulson. I mean, there could be a number of people that
00:40:21could have attacked him and still don't know who attacked Jacob Fatu either, right? A lot of
00:40:25mysteries over on Friday Night SmackDown. All this needs to get it together. We are on the road
00:40:31to WrestleMania six weeks from Saturday, 47 nights away.
00:40:40WWE in partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority today announced that the
00:40:442026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on Friday, April 17th at 9 p.m. Pacific time
00:40:51at Dolby Live at Park MGM as part of WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale starting
00:40:57next Tuesday, March 10th at 1 p.m. Eastern, 10 p.m. Pacific via Ticketmaster.com. The pre-sale
00:41:02starts on Monday. Earlier today, The Undertaker broke the news to Demolition that they'll join
00:41:08Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles in the class of 2026. Demolition will also make their long-awaited
00:41:13debut in the WWE 2K franchise and WWE 2K26 as part of Ringside Pass Season 2 coming in April.
00:41:22Congratulations to Axe and Smash.
00:41:40Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new Women's Intercontinental Champion, AJ Lee.
00:41:54Her first championship in 11 years. The brand new Intercontinental Champion, an emotional night in
00:42:02her adopted hometown of Chicago this past Saturday. And meanwhile, the ex-champ, Becky Lynch, had an
00:42:09absolute meltdown on social media, debating our general manager to suspend the official in that
00:42:16match, Jessica Carr, demanding that this whole match was thrown out. Pierce said no way.
00:42:21Well, unfortunately for AJ Lee, Becky Lynch also filed an appeal with the Illinois State Athletic
00:42:27Commission. This thing is far from over, but kudos to AJ Lee. What an incredible comeback story
00:42:33this has been.
00:42:44I'm not entirely sure how we got here. I know that I came back to WWE purely just to snatch
00:42:55the pretty hair from Becky's big-ass head.
00:43:01And somehow I ended up snatching her title.
00:43:08But I gotta be real, I didn't know if I could still go.
00:43:27But that right there, you guys, you guys thought I could still go.
00:43:38You believed in me, you had my back for a decade.
00:43:47You remembered me when some people wished that you would forget.
00:43:53And you made me believe that I could still fight the very best.
00:44:03And that is exactly what Becky is.
00:44:06She's the best of the best, but I beat her.
00:44:13But even though she gave me the fight of my life, and I have the scars to prove it.
00:44:22I proved to myself that I can still be championship material.
00:44:34I am still exactly who I think I am.
00:44:44But now that Becky Boo Boo is behind me.
00:44:52WrestleMania is ahead of me.
00:45:01But I'm not waiting until then.
00:45:05Uh-uh, no, I'm going to be a fighting champion.
00:45:13Because it has been 12 long years since I last held a title.
00:45:18And I am not going to take this for granted.
00:45:21And I'm not going to waste any time.
00:45:28So, a couple of weeks ago, I kind of mentioned I want to get my hands on some women in
00:45:35that locker room.
00:45:40And now that I have this beautiful thing in my shoulder, I just know they want to get their hands
00:45:46on me.
00:45:50So, ladies, if you think that you are championship material, if you want a shot at your favorite wrestler's favorite
00:46:05wrestler, then come at me.
00:46:12Because the next time I stand in this ring, I will be defending the Intercontinental Championship.
00:46:22So, ladies, show me what you got.
00:46:30Well, it stays in the family just like the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:46:33AJ Lee promises to be a fighting champion, defending her brand new Intercontinental title.
00:46:44Let's go.
00:46:47Let's go.
00:46:48Let's go.
00:46:54Let's go.
00:47:10Hello Penta.
00:47:12Hello.
00:47:14Leyenda.
00:47:16I am so excited for your Intercontinental Championship match tonight.
00:47:21Bueno suerte.
00:47:23Okay, thank you.
00:47:24But just know, when you win that championship, I'm first in line.
00:47:29You know me, right?
00:47:31And you know Cedo.
00:47:35Bien.
00:47:38Que paso, Inano, eh?
00:47:41Hola, duende.
00:47:43How long you want to keep up this charade?
00:47:45You are a frown.
00:47:47Charade?
00:47:49Not only am I El Grande Americano,
00:47:51I'm the only El Grande Americano.
00:47:55Que este, Chaparro?
00:47:56Esa maschera no te corresponde, wey.
00:47:59You know what?
00:48:01We're going to see about that anyway.
00:48:03March 14th, Rey de Reyes.
00:48:06Verdad, Chaparrito?
00:48:07We don't have to wait.
00:48:08Hey, hey.
00:48:10Huh.
00:48:11Hide behind your little amigos, huh?
00:48:13I don't care.
00:48:14I'm going to go talk to Pierce right now.
00:48:16I don't care which one of you two it is.
00:48:18I'll see uno of you in the ring tonight.
00:48:21Gracias.
00:48:23Par a beat.
00:48:24Par a beat.
00:48:25Gracias.
00:48:26See, he speaks Spanish.
00:48:28Gracias was a little Italian.
00:48:32Why do you speak Spanish?
00:48:34I mean, Cole, not necessarily.
00:48:36Saying a word isn't speaking a language.
00:48:40The following contest is scheduled for for Paul.
00:48:45Introducing first, from the Gulf of America,
00:48:50weighing in at 202 pounds,
00:48:54the original El Grande Americano.
00:49:00So we look.
00:49:27So, they called the original El Grande
00:49:32Americano.
00:49:36Well, you're the broadcast journalist at the desk, I mean, do some corresponding.
00:49:47There used to be a star called Shorty around here.
00:49:49I think that's best left in the past.
00:49:53So original El Grande Americano, see, he's got a lot of mannerisms too that he perhaps
00:49:59learned.
00:49:59And remember, he learned a lot of this when he went on this sabbatical to Mexico.
00:50:05Correct.
00:50:06And the original El Grande Americano, as JBL refers to him as the true El Grande Americano.
00:50:12Yeah, JBL, the expert lucha.
00:50:14You can learn a lot.
00:50:16No one's questioning the ability of the original El Grande Americano.
00:50:21He's an incredibly talented mat wrestler.
00:50:23He's a powerhouse.
00:50:24Utilizes a variety of suplexes and submissions.
00:50:27But that does not a luchador make.
00:50:29Very Olympic style on the ring.
00:50:34Could be.
00:50:39He's got to work on his pronunciation.
00:50:42Grazie is Italian for thank you.
00:50:43Gracias is Spanish.
00:50:46It's a bit of a hybrid, but whatever works.
00:50:48Okay, so if this guy's the real El Grande Americano, why is he not dressed in red, white, and blue?
00:50:53Explain that to me, Corey.
00:50:55Because, A, this El Grande Americano is not scheduled to compete right now, so he doesn't feel the need to
00:51:01represent the nation of Mexico.
00:51:03His name is El Grande Americano.
00:51:05Okay, so he's only allowed to wear red, white, and blue?
00:51:09Well, that's supposed to be his gimmick, right?
00:51:10What are you talking about, Michael Cole?
00:51:12You should listen to yourself.
00:51:14This man, weekly, shows up on Triple A, which is available on WWE's YouTube around the globe, representing the red,
00:51:21white, and green.
00:51:22His colors, his gente, his people.
00:51:28And his opponent, representing Los Americanos.
00:51:32Los Americanos, weighing in for 205 pounds, Rayo Americano!
00:51:43Rayo.
00:51:46Yes, Rayo in the red, Bravo in the blue.
00:51:49Los Americanos.
00:51:51And El Grande Americano in black and gold.
00:51:54Looks like a champion to me.
00:51:57Have to be partial to that color scheme, being from Pittsburgh.
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:04Look at, he even dances like a Mexican warrior.
00:52:09I feel like you just insulted a whole bunch of people.
00:52:12The Aztecs would be ticked off.
00:52:13Why would he dance like a Mexican warrior?
00:52:15I doubt that.
00:52:22Hey, WWE World is returning to Las Vegas April 16th to the 20th as the ultimate WrestleMania week destination.
00:52:29And the lineup just got more stacked.
00:52:322026 Hall of Fame inductee Stephanie McMahon will be there.
00:52:36And it's going to be legendary.
00:52:37Photo and auto opportunities will go on sale this Friday and will go fast.
00:52:41So be sure to get your admission tickets in advance at WWEWorld.com.
00:52:54Hello, Stephanie.
00:52:56I'm sure you have some questions about last week, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to explain myself to
00:53:04you.
00:53:05You tried to embarrass me, belittle me, judge me.
00:53:10You thought you knew everything there was to know about me.
00:53:14But you don't know a thing.
00:53:16You don't know my struggles and you don't know what I had to do to make it to where I
00:53:20am.
00:53:21But one thing you were right about is I am privileged.
00:53:27I am sorry that I got signed to WWE when I was 20 years old and you got rejected your
00:53:32first tryout.
00:53:34I'm sorry that I had the best of the best while you grew up in a mud hut wrestling and
00:53:39fully invested rings for 10 years.
00:53:43And do you know why all that happened to me?
00:53:47Because I am a star.
00:53:50And I don't dwell on my past like your past seems to be the only thing that you know how
00:53:56to talk about.
00:53:57But even despite everything that's happened so far, I see a little bit of myself in you.
00:54:06You're talented.
00:54:08You work hard.
00:54:09You are a great champion.
00:54:13So I'm going to do something.
00:54:16At WrestleMania, I'm going to give you the privilege of your life.
00:54:23You get to step in the ring with the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time.
00:54:28You get to step in the ring with the inaugural crown jewel champion, six time champion, money in the bank
00:54:35winner.
00:54:36You get to step in the ring with the Liv Morgan.
00:54:43And you'll learn everything you need to know about me.
00:54:51At WrestleMania, Liv and Stephanie for the women's world title.
00:54:56Meanwhile, the original El Grande Americano takes on Rio Americano tonight in a one-on-one matchup.
00:55:03And I think the debate should be over of who the real El Grande Americano is.
00:55:07The fact that the man in the ring is wearing red, white, and blue, and the imposter outside is wearing
00:55:12black and gold.
00:55:13So all it takes to prove that he is the real Americano is that he wears red, white, and blue.
00:55:17That's all it takes for you.
00:55:18You're sold.
00:55:19Americano, American.
00:55:20Americano is also a type of coffee, Michael Cole.
00:55:22Okay?
00:55:24You're wasting your time right now.
00:55:26Okay, Barista Graves.
00:55:27And look at this now.
00:55:28Nice takedown by the original.
00:55:33You have to admit, though, the original El Grande Americano has been a thorn in the side of El Grande
00:55:37Americano and his buddies,
00:55:39Ryo and Bravo, over the past few weeks.
00:55:41No doubt about it.
00:55:42Particularly in AAA, south of the border.
00:55:44So tell me about the Rey de Reyes tournament and how they play into this.
00:55:47So there have been a series of qualifying matches leading to a fatal four-way at the Rey de Reyes
00:55:52event.
00:55:53The winner wins a sacred sword and becomes the number one contender to the AAA Mega Championship.
00:55:58It's one of the most coveted prizes in all of Lucha.
00:56:01And we're seeing La Maestral Cradle applied expertly by the original El Grande Americano.
00:56:06The voice of AAA to my right, Corey Graves.
00:56:08So both the El Grandes are involved in this.
00:56:12Correct.
00:56:13This past Saturday on WWE's official YouTube page, El Grande Americano in front of us right now in the black
00:56:20and gold also qualified.
00:56:25Bravo, Americano just vowed to show the original some real Mexican culture.
00:56:31Oh, there it is. Look at those hips. They don't lie, Michael Cole.
00:56:35And knocking him off the apron.
00:56:38And Ryo taking advantage.
00:56:41Anyway, the original El Grande Americano qualified for the Rey de Reyes final by handcuffing this Americano in the locker
00:56:50room backstage.
00:56:50Took his opportunity away from him.
00:56:53Smart.
00:56:55Cerebral.
00:56:57Oh!
00:56:58Criminal, perhaps.
00:57:00Dishonest.
00:57:01Depends how you look at it.
00:57:02Oh!
00:57:03And what a chop!
00:57:05Well, regardless, this past Saturday, El Grande Americano, the elegant gentleman several feet in front of us, managed to qualify
00:57:13for the final as well.
00:57:15He'll have his chance to get his hands on the original El Grande Americano.
00:57:19A nice hip toss.
00:57:21Let me tell you, Michael Cole, when El Grande Americano was victorious Saturday night, I thought the roof was going
00:57:28to blow off of the arena in Monterey.
00:57:30Oh, there's the cannonball by the original.
00:57:33Oh!
00:57:35Oh!
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:38Oh!
00:57:38What is Bravo doing?
00:57:40Well, that's how you dance.
00:57:42Well, obviously, the original El Grande Americano has a great eye for culture.
00:57:45He picked that dance move right up.
00:57:51The good news is the original doesn't speak Spanish, Cole, so he doesn't understand a word the other Americanos say
00:57:57it to him.
00:57:57That's your takeout!
00:57:59That distraction allows Rayo to take over.
00:58:02Don't believe me.
00:58:03Bang!
00:58:05Believe Pimpinella Escarlada.
00:58:07Legendary Exotico.
00:58:09Someone's going to get exposed one of these days, Cole.
00:58:11Hey!
00:58:21And let's not...
00:58:22El Grande was very upset over the fact that the original El Grande Americano actually earned an opportunity in a
00:58:28triple threat qualifying match for the chamber, and he didn't.
00:58:32Sure, turnabout is fair play.
00:58:34The original cost El Grande the opportunity in Mexico at Rey de Reyes.
00:58:39Again, against all odds, luckily, as fate would have it, both Americanos have now qualified alongside La Parca.
00:58:46One more spot will be filled this coming Saturday on WWE's YouTube channel.
00:58:53Nothing I'd like to hear more is than JBL calling Lucha.
00:58:58And the American Vampire.
00:59:00Well, JBL's got quite the history, South.
00:59:02He does.
00:59:06Now...
00:59:07Cheap shot.
00:59:08Vampiro Americano.
00:59:09Yep.
00:59:10Indeed.
00:59:12Look at Rayo Americano.
00:59:15Well, this is a three-on-one match.
00:59:17I mean...
00:59:19That's not necessarily true.
00:59:20El Grande Americano hasn't been involved at all.
00:59:23All Bravo has done is teach a little culture to the original.
00:59:26Did you forget about the argument that he was having outside the ring that allowed Rayo to take control?
00:59:31Ooh!
00:59:32Big chop.
00:59:33That was verbal.
00:59:35No one's ever been disqualified for verbal interference.
00:59:38He should've been.
00:59:39Oh!
00:59:40Into the corner!
00:59:42Understand Rayo Americano has spent a great deal of time training in England, which is why he is so proficient
00:59:48at the British style of wrestling.
00:59:49A great catch wrestler as well as a fantastic luchador.
00:59:53Been a bitter end for his career until he ended up in Mexico, I guess.
00:59:59Then he's...
01:00:09Headlock applied from behind by Rayo Americano.
01:00:15I think it's very honorable that both Rayo and Bravo stepped up to defend the honor of El Grande Americano.
01:00:21They were paid off.
01:00:23That's the rumor anyway.
01:00:25Well, I'll deal in reality.
01:00:27you can deal in the rumor mill.
01:00:31The original El Grande Americano
01:00:34trying to fight back into this matchup.
01:00:39Couple of body shots to Rayo.
01:00:42And down goes Chaparro Americano.
01:00:48Again, that means short.
01:00:52When we get crazy, we can say Chaparrito.
01:00:57You've been into Rosetta Stone, haven't you?
01:01:00Babble.
01:01:02Works wonders.
01:01:13Well, this match has turned into a three-on-one affair.
01:01:16It's Rayo and original El Grande Americano.
01:01:19But El Grande Americano and Bravo outside the ring
01:01:22have been getting involved.
01:01:22Michael Cole is going to sit here and spew conspiracy theories
01:01:25through your television screen.
01:01:26When the reality is only Rayo Americano
01:01:28has physically engaged with the original El Grande Americano.
01:01:31During the break, Bravo smacked him in the face.
01:01:34And look at this.
01:01:35Oh!
01:01:36I must have been consulting my Rosetta Stone.
01:01:38Nice belly-to-belly throw.
01:01:41And the original El Grande Americano ducks underneath.
01:01:44Nice takedown side Russian leg sweep.
01:01:49And the original!
01:01:52This is an international incident.
01:01:54We've got an American luchador utilizing a Russian leg sweep
01:01:56and then a Japanese legends kick.
01:01:58Look at that!
01:02:04And El Grande upset outside the ring.
01:02:10The original one up to the top rope.
01:02:15Booth salt!
01:02:17Rayo put the foot up and got caught!
01:02:18Yeah, picked up into an ankle lock now!
01:02:21An ankle lock by the original!
01:02:23And sent through the ropes out to the apron.
01:02:28Big right hand by Americano.
01:02:31Wow!
01:02:32Did you hear that?
01:02:33That was Gunther-esque.
01:02:36Overhand.
01:02:37Piero Tazzo.
01:02:38Now the original.
01:02:40Wow.
01:02:40Great athleticism by Rayo.
01:02:43Meteora in the bottom turnbuckle.
01:02:45That's my call.
01:02:46I'm the voice of AAA, Cole.
01:02:48And there you see Bravo and El Grande looking on.
01:02:52Rayo trying to go to the top rope.
01:02:53The original El Grande going to beat him.
01:02:55There!
01:02:58Crawling to a cover.
01:03:01And a kick out at two by Rayo.
01:03:04Take another look at this.
01:03:06Launched from the top turnbuckle is Rayo Americano.
01:03:10Courtesy of the OG Americano.
01:03:13Could be anyone's ball game at this juncture.
01:03:17Again, a reminder, everyone.
01:03:19The main event at WrestleMania is Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
01:03:23Both those men are live in the building tonight.
01:03:26And we talked about this a little bit ago.
01:03:28It's official.
01:03:29Jimmy Uso and Austin Theory coming up one-on-one.
01:03:32Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:03:33The original looking to unmask Rayo Americano.
01:03:37Unlike Gunther earlier tonight, the OG definitely means lucha disrespect.
01:03:42And now trying to rip the mask off Bravo.
01:03:44Rayo runs into a back elbow.
01:03:47Now, oh, headbutt.
01:03:49And another.
01:03:52The official didn't see any of this breakdown.
01:03:55Now heading up to the top rope is Rayo.
01:03:58Rayo going to fly with a headbutt.
01:04:01That's got to do it.
01:04:03Cover.
01:04:03And a kick out by the original.
01:04:10Look of shock on the face of El Grande Americano as we look once again at the beautiful diving headbutt
01:04:17delivered by Rayo Americano.
01:04:22And now Rayo, I believe, signaling he is going to expose the original as the fraud in front of the
01:04:28entire world.
01:04:30This could be a watershed moment here.
01:04:33Uh-oh.
01:04:33The official down.
01:04:35Rayo down again.
01:04:36El Grande Americano trying to get involved.
01:04:40There comes Bravo.
01:04:41That's saving El Grande.
01:04:44Now a roll-up by Rayo.
01:04:46Shoulders are down.
01:04:47Kick out.
01:04:49Look, old baby Dracula better get out of the way.
01:04:51That's the second time he almost interfered in the matchup.
01:04:54The referee, I mean, look at this.
01:04:55Little chaotic suplex cover.
01:04:58Got him.
01:05:03Here is your winner, the original El Grande Americano.
01:05:16As it tends to end the world of Lucha, chaos would ensue in the closing moments.
01:05:22First incidental contact, Rayo dropping Bravo from the apron.
01:05:26And a beautiful, chaotic German suplex from the original.
01:05:31Here is your winner.
01:05:34Get out there.
01:05:36El Grande Americano extremely upset for the O.J.
01:05:39Got the win tonight.
01:05:44You know, 47 days away from WrestleMania 42, the two-night extravaganza, live from Las Vegas,
01:05:51six weeks from Saturday, April 19th, and then April, I should say April 18th, and then
01:05:56April 19th, starting at 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific.
01:05:59On Saturday, night one, the first hour will be live on ESPN2, with the night two's first
01:06:06hour live on ESPN.
01:06:08Full coverage on both nights on the ESPN app with ESPN Unlimited, WrestleMania, for the
01:06:14first time ever on ESPN.
01:06:36Dominic Mysterio, nothing and no one will save you because tonight it's only you and me
01:06:44in the ring.
01:06:45And tonight, PENTA will make history.
01:06:49Because tonight, I become a new Intercontinental Champion.
01:06:57Y sabes por qué?
01:06:59Porque yo soy PENTA.
01:07:02En serio.
01:07:04Yeah.
01:07:08What an opportunity for PENTA coming up tonight, when he takes on Dirty Dominic Mysterio for
01:07:15the Intercontinental Championship, live on Netflix.
01:07:37Well, it's no secret that what was once a healthy mentorship between Natty and Maxine Dupree has
01:07:45become a toxic relationship that has become more and more vicious with every passing week.
01:07:50And it hit its boiling point last week when Natty left Maxine unconscious.
01:07:55It is the reason Maxine Dupree is not here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
01:07:59So I am genuinely curious to hear what my next guest has to say.
01:08:03So with that, Natty.
01:08:10Listen, Natty, I've known you a long time.
01:08:12And I don't know if I've ever seen you treat anybody the way that you have treated Maxine
01:08:17Dupree.
01:08:17And that's someone you said you wanted to help.
01:08:20You know, I'm really struggling to understand this new Natty.
01:08:24So after everything that's happened, I mean, what do you have to say for yourself?
01:08:33Maxine, I want to apologize.
01:08:37Wherever your hospital room is, I hope that you have Netflix.
01:08:40I hope you can hear this.
01:08:42I hope that you can see this.
01:08:44I'm so sorry.
01:08:49I'm so sorry that I ever allowed you to train in the dungeon.
01:08:56I am so sorry that I ever made you feel like you were good at this.
01:09:03I'm going to do something, Maxine, that nobody else here has the heart to do.
01:09:11I'm going to tell you the truth.
01:09:13Take it from a killer they tried to convince was a bimbo.
01:09:17You're a bimbo.
01:09:18Trying to convince us that you're a killer?
01:09:22Maxine, I've seen women like you come and go my entire career.
01:09:27And I have outlasted them all.
01:09:31So, Maxine, go and do a TikTok with Otis and Tozawa.
01:09:35Go and do a vlog.
01:09:37Go and live an empty, shallow little life.
01:09:42Because hearts don't lie, and the truth hurts.
01:09:49You don't belong in my world, and you never, ever will.
01:09:57Go and live an empty, shallow little life.
01:10:31You should not be disappointed because you look like a champion at Chamber.
01:10:34I'm not.
01:10:36Hey, maybe that's how you get to Mania.
01:10:38What if you challenge AJ Lee for the IC title and you go into Mania as champion?
01:10:42It's actually not a bad idea.
01:10:45Can we make that happen?
01:10:46Because I want to make sure you guys are out there.
01:10:48We're going to be there.
01:10:49Don't be stressing.
01:10:50I'm not stressing.
01:10:51It's okay.
01:10:51All right.
01:10:52I believe you.
01:10:53What's going on?
01:10:54Hey, boys.
01:10:54How are you after Chamber?
01:10:56Well, I'm not happy with the result, but I'm at peace with how it went down.
01:11:01That's great.
01:11:02Well, now that you're over losing to Punk, we can focus on my title defense tonight.
01:11:07So what?
01:11:08Can I count on you guys to be there for me?
01:11:09Of course you can, dude.
01:11:10All right, cool.
01:11:10I thought we spoke about this.
01:11:12This is something you need to do by yourself.
01:11:15That's not what I meant.
01:11:16I meant, like, are you guys going to be out there to celebrate with me after I win as
01:11:20a family?
01:11:21Of course.
01:11:22We are a family.
01:11:23And we're going to be there.
01:11:24All right.
01:11:24Right?
01:11:27Boys, you know you can count on me.
01:11:29I'll be out there to watch you win, though.
01:11:31Family.
01:11:32Hey, guys.
01:11:35Everything I've been through, man, it's happened for a reason.
01:11:40It shaped me to help me get to this point and even things before this point.
01:11:45Because there were times where I didn't think I was going to get there.
01:11:49You tell someone you've been shot, they're like, oh, really?
01:11:52You can see it.
01:11:54You've been stabbed.
01:11:55Yeah.
01:11:55You know, you've seen people get shot.
01:11:58You've seen.
01:11:59Real intent to end your life.
01:12:01There were times where I'm with my Uncle Boogie, who's my best friend.
01:12:08And people tell us, hey, you need to walk that way.
01:12:11Don't come this way.
01:12:13Because some things are about to pop off.
01:12:17What a story, Royce Keys.
01:12:19It's part of Stephanie McMahon's podcast.
01:12:22What's your story?
01:12:23Later in the week, Stephanie will have New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson joining her on the show.
01:12:29Undertaker Michael Hayes this week.
01:12:30Cody, very interesting conversation with Gunther, all part of the WWE Podcast Network.
01:12:39Highlight of the night is presented by Planet Fitness.
01:12:54Last Friday night on SmackDown, the A-lister, The Miz, would have an encounter with The Ruler.
01:13:00And you can ask Miz, he will surely tell you that Obafemi is who he says he is.
01:13:07A fall from grace for The Miz.
01:13:09And the dominance of Obafemi is just beginning in WWE.
01:13:16And he's still a free agent.
01:13:18All right, that's enough of this.
01:13:19That's enough of this.
01:13:21That's enough of this.
01:13:22Move out of the way.
01:13:28I am tired of listening about Oba.
01:13:38No, Oba, no, Oba.
01:13:40I am tired of waiting.
01:13:42And I am here.
01:13:44And I know you're back there, Oba.
01:13:46I know you can hear me, so hear this.
01:13:49You won this fight.
01:13:51I won this fight.
01:13:53So how about us fighting right now?
01:13:59Rusev challenging Oba?
01:14:02The Lion of Bulgaria, Rusev, calls out the Nigerian ruler, Obafemi.
01:14:14And I am not moving away from this table until you show up.
01:14:18And you can go ahead and ask your daddy, Adam Pearce, if that's okay or not.
01:14:26Be careful what you wish for, Rusev.
01:14:30And Oba didn't need to ask the general manager or anything.
01:14:34Well, remember, Corey, what happened last week?
01:14:37Rusev was in a conversation with the general manager when Oba showed up.
01:14:41And Pierce went to talk to Oba.
01:14:42And Rusev got offended that it appeared that Pierce was more interested in Fendi than Rusev.
01:14:48Well, I can understand Rusev's frustration, but to be fair, who's going to do something about it other than Rusev?
01:14:56Who's going to stop the ruler?
01:14:58Who's going to step up to Obafemi?
01:15:14Rusev is not taking his eyes off the 6'6", 310-pound Obafemi.
01:15:24There is no fear in the eyes of the Lion of Bulgaria, nor is there any in the ruler.
01:15:29Two big foals staring eye to eye.
01:15:56You spent all this time talking.
01:16:00Why don't you come in here and make something happen?
01:16:06You asked for it, Rusev.
01:16:11Oh, here we go.
01:16:12Oh, baby.
01:16:13Oh, this is going to be a collision.
01:16:15Two powerhouses.
01:16:17Two super heavyweights.
01:16:20The ruler standing in the center of the ring.
01:16:23Rusev about to meet him.
01:16:26This could be colossal.
01:16:33And Rusev and Femi now exchanging blows.
01:16:37Big haymakers.
01:16:38Weapons grade.
01:16:40Right hands from both men.
01:16:41And now Femi starting to get the upper hand.
01:16:44That body shot stunned Rusev.
01:16:48Oh, Obafemi taking control.
01:16:53Went for a chokeslam.
01:16:55And Rusev able to deliver a kick and caught Femi.
01:16:58And another one by Rusev.
01:17:00Oh, no.
01:17:00The ruler is rocked.
01:17:12And Femi sends Rusev out of the ring.
01:17:21Oh, Rusev's got to be embarrassed after what happened here tonight at the hands of that man.
01:17:27Obafemi.
01:17:28Embarrassed, perhaps.
01:17:30Finished, absolutely not.
01:17:32Look at the height.
01:17:33And above all, the impact.
01:17:35As the ruler nearly puts Rusev through the middle of the ring.
01:17:40I got a feeling these two aren't done with each other just yet.
01:17:44The potent powerhouse.
01:17:47Obafemi.
01:17:50We both lost our qualifying matches.
01:17:53We didn't make it to chamber.
01:17:55It's WrestleMania season.
01:17:56And I feel like, I personally feel stuck.
01:17:59I don't know if you have any plans or ideas or if you think that we, I don't know.
01:18:02What are you thinking?
01:18:03Tell me.
01:18:03I know we're having no luck lately.
01:18:05All I know is I can't sit back and watch you miss WrestleMania again.
01:18:09One way or another, you have to get there.
01:18:11And AJ Lee is the new women's intercontinental champion.
01:18:14And she's out there looking for challengers.
01:18:17So why can't that be you?
01:18:19Me?
01:18:20Me?
01:18:21Why not, dude?
01:18:22I've watched half the women's division line up outside Pierce's office today to try to be our first challenger.
01:18:27Why can't it be you?
01:18:29That could be your ticket to WrestleMania.
01:18:30Hell yeah, dude.
01:18:31You're right.
01:18:33Thank you so much.
01:18:35I appreciate it.
01:18:35No, no, no.
01:18:36Just go get your shot.
01:18:37Go and talk to Pierce.
01:18:37Okay, relax.
01:18:38Go.
01:18:39Come on.
01:18:39Wait.
01:18:40Wait.
01:18:40I do remember that I cost you a title match against Becky.
01:18:46So maybe you should come with me.
01:18:49You know, maybe we should both go.
01:18:53You mean it?
01:18:54Yes.
