00:00:00In the house, front row, and he is the defensive lineman for the college football national champion, Indiana Hoosiers, Tyreek
00:00:08Tucker, in the house, having a good time with us at Monday Night Raw.
00:00:30The following contest is taken for one fall. Introducing questions from San Francisco, California. We're in for 251 pounds, one
00:00:43half of the world tag team champions, Jimmy Uso.
00:00:52Jimmy with retribution on his mind. Takes on the vision. It's Austin Theory. Live next.
00:01:17And there's Jimmy Uso. He attacked Austin Theory in the parking lot earlier on tonight as they were taking, well,
00:01:27as L.A. Knight was taking Paul Heyman to the hospital
00:01:29after a stop by Seth Rollins.
00:01:32I haven't seen this level of intensity on the face of Jimmy Uso in quite some time.
00:01:36Well, and again, he believes, as many do, that it was the vision who attacked J. Uso this past Friday
00:01:44on SmackDown,
00:01:45which opened an opportunity for Logan Paul to get into the elimination chamber. And what a chamber Paul had. I
00:01:51mean, he had three eliminations.
00:01:52Three eliminations. Logan Paul was absolutely on a roll until the arrival of Seth Rollins, who, again, we saw tonight
00:01:59in Indianapolis making waves amongst the vision.
00:02:02But right now, if Jimmy Uso can contain his anger and focus it on Austin Theory, it could mean a
00:02:09level of revenge for Big Jim.
00:02:22In Vegas, everything's a game. Some nights, it's played without cards or dice. Just tension.
00:02:33Every move measured. Every look. A strategy sharpened. Always watching your back.
00:02:50Prepared for anything.
00:02:56Never knowing who the real threat is.
00:03:07Or who might show up at the table.
00:03:19WrestleMania Vegas.
00:03:24It's anyone's game.
00:03:48I don't stop. I don't fold. I don't dip.
00:03:52And here's a pony.
00:03:54Robin Leonard, Georgia.
00:03:56We give her 220 pounds.
00:04:01Representing the vision.
00:04:05Austin Theory.
00:04:10You know, the show never stops at WWE 2K26.
00:04:13And this week, 2K revealed details of this year's showcase mode centered on CM Punk's career.
00:04:19Spending multiple decades of WWE history, you can relive CM Punk's rivalries and explore a world where Punk never left,
00:04:27including fantasy historical scenarios.
00:04:29So, pre-order WWE 2K26 today.
00:04:32Early access starts this Friday.
00:04:36Austin Theory.
00:04:38The man who says, I don't stop.
00:04:41I don't fold.
00:04:43I don't forget.
00:04:44Well, Jimmy Uso hasn't forgotten, Corey.
00:04:47He's blaming Theory and the vision for attacking his brother, Jay, this past Friday on SmackDown.
00:04:51Unfortunately for Austin Theory, Jimmy Uso is in quite a mood, whether the vision are guilty or not.
00:04:57To me, this is an opportunity for Austin Theory to show the world that he is reborn.
00:05:03He is a different superstar.
00:05:05He is the pressure.
00:05:07He won't fold.
00:05:08And he can try to get the vision back on track as a unit after what happened to Paul Heyman
00:05:13to kick off Raw.
00:05:14Yeah, there's no Paul Heyman out here because Seth Rollins, after a number of hooded masked men who played decoys
00:05:22for Seth,
00:05:23Seth would deliver a chair to the back of Paul Heyman, followed up by a stomp as Jimmy Uso now
00:05:30takes the fight to Austin Theory.
00:05:32We had mentioned deja vu earlier with that chair shot from Rollins.
00:05:36It was in this building 12 years ago in Indianapolis the night that Rollins delivered a similar chair to the
00:05:41back of the shield, breaking up the entire group.
00:05:46A big boot to the face of Jimmy Uso and Jimmy now won half of the tag team champions with
00:05:52his brother, Jay.
00:05:54Last year at WrestleMania that the former wise man betrayed Roman, this whole thing has been brewing for quite some.
00:06:01Well, not just Roman, he betrayed CM Punk as well.
00:06:05And Seth Rollins aligning himself with Paul Heyman in one of the biggest shockers we've ever experienced.
00:06:11Remember Austin Theory himself, no stranger to Seth Rollins.
00:06:14Once upon a time, something of a disciple to Seth.
00:06:18And you see the intensity of Austin Theory.
00:06:23Austin Theory joined the vision.
00:06:24Bang!
00:06:25Once again, as he uncorks a hellacious left hand.
00:06:29Now, Theory has said on multiple occasions, he's a different man, he's a changed man.
00:06:33Yeah, he talks about his past career and his past life there and says he almost lost it all.
00:06:38He realized when he was out with injury for a number of months that he had to change.
00:06:43And what a way to change by joining forces with Heyman and company.
00:06:46Again, you've got Rollins who was out.
00:06:48You lose Braun Breaker.
00:06:49Last week, you lose Bronson Reed.
00:06:51The opportunity is right for Austin Theory to make some big things happen in his career.
00:06:57And Jimmy now driving Austin right into our announce table.
00:07:01Theory could step into something of a leadership role in the vision alongside Logan Paul.
00:07:09Jimmy just taking the fight.
00:07:12Anger in the face of Jimmy Uso.
00:07:15Big super kick by Big Jim.
00:07:20Trying to make Austin Theory answer for the sins.
00:07:23Oh, I don't think he's done yet, Corey.
00:07:26I think you're right.
00:07:28Jimmy Uso wiping out our announce table.
00:07:32Big kick to Theory.
00:07:36Oh, no.
00:07:37Oh, no.
00:07:37We've seen that look in the eyes of Big Jim before.
00:07:42Big Jim could be the worst night for the vision yet.
00:07:46Heading up to the top rope.
00:07:49Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:07:51Logan Paul.
00:07:53And his attack thwarted by Jimmy, who comes off the top rope.
00:07:58And Logan took the bullet for Austin Theory.
00:08:02But now Big Jim raining down rights.
00:08:04Yeah, but Logan Paul in the numbers game now for the vision.
00:08:07Beating the hell out of Jimmy Uso here.
00:08:13After the night they've had, I cannot be surprised that Logan Paul is out here.
00:08:17The night they've had.
00:08:18Big in the past.
00:08:19Uh-oh.
00:08:28Corey.
00:08:29Corey.
00:08:30What?
00:08:31What?
00:08:31Oh.
00:08:32Made him at J. Uso on crutches.
00:08:35Said he wanted to his brother Jimmy.
00:08:37The vision has no idea that J. Uso's behind him.
00:08:43And the World Tag Team Champions bringing the fight to the vision.
00:08:48The vision's night went from bad to worse.
00:08:56One team.
00:08:58One and done.
00:09:04What's that word they've been throwing around regarding the vision lately called snake bit?
00:09:11It has been that kind of night.
00:09:14Paul Heyman sent to a hospital after a stop.
00:09:17Logan Paul and Austin Theory sent scurrying thanks to the Uso's.
00:09:23Things are unraveling.
00:09:25Fast.
00:09:27I have a lot of things that I want to get off my chest.
00:09:38I'm calling.
00:09:38I expected him to be here by now.
00:09:41No.
00:09:41Maybe he's going to be your problem.
00:09:44All right, man.
00:09:45I'll call you when I know.
00:09:45Thanks, Nick.
00:09:46Bye.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:48Oh.

00:09:52Adam Pierce.
00:09:52Oh, I get it.
00:09:53Glass is disguised.
00:09:54Yeah, Adam Pierce.
00:09:55What are we doing?
00:09:56Well, anyways.
00:09:56As you saw, Dan House debuted with Thunder Supplies.
00:10:00And cheers.
00:10:01So I've got a list of demands for you.
00:10:02Demands?
00:10:03Yes.
00:10:03Demand Housens.
00:10:04I need a blimp.
00:10:05Hall of Fame induction this year.
00:10:07My personal assistant.
00:10:08My personal camera boy.
00:10:09Triple H pointing photo.
00:10:10Those famous ones that he does.
00:10:12Okay.
00:10:12And face on all of the trucks.
00:10:14You can have that so you do not forget it.
00:10:16Why is it soggy?
00:10:18I fell on the toilet.
00:10:19Okay.
00:10:20What are we doing?
00:10:21Judgment Day.
00:10:22Have you met Dan?
00:10:22Guys.
00:10:23No, no, no.
00:10:23Listen, listen, listen.
00:10:24Have you met Dan House?
00:10:25I got a match.
00:10:26I understand you have a match, but this is important.
00:10:28It's Dan House.
00:10:29And he has to listen to match.
00:10:30And I need a drink.
00:10:32Hello, Finn.
00:10:32Hello, Dom.
00:10:33Hello, uh...
00:10:36I already hate this guy.
00:10:38He's nice, isn't he?
00:10:39Anyway.
00:10:40Oh, this is nice.
00:10:41Can I have this?
00:10:42Oh.
00:10:42This is as close as you're ever going to get to one of these.
00:10:45But it's not so nice to meet you.
00:10:47So why don't you beat it before something bad happens?
00:10:49Oh, bad happens to me?
00:10:51Guess what?
00:10:54You are cursed.
00:10:58What?
00:10:59Get a load of this guy.
00:11:01I don't know.
00:11:01He thinks he's a...
00:11:03He's like a Batman.
00:11:06That doesn't bode well for Dominic Mysterio.
00:11:08And by the way, he may need some of those teeth that Dan House carries around.
00:11:12Because coming up next, this is going to be physical.
00:11:15It's a battle for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:11:17Penta versus Dirty Dom for the Intercontinental title live.
00:11:21And it's next.
00:11:40Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the bounciest superstar in WWE, the young OG, Javon Evans.
00:11:50Hold on, hold on, man.
00:11:51Hold on now.
00:11:52I'm a little sore now.
00:11:52I'm a little sore.
00:11:53All right.
00:11:53All right.
00:11:54Hey.
00:11:54You good?
00:11:55I'm good.
00:11:55You good?
00:11:56All right.
00:11:56What's up?
00:11:56What's up?
00:11:57Okay.
00:11:57So, Javon, you've had a couple days to think about it, a couple days to reflect on this
00:12:00past Saturday night.
00:12:02Tell us, what was it like to compete in your very first Elimination Chamber match?
00:12:09I ain't going to lie.
00:12:10You not lit enough.
00:12:12Hey.
00:12:12Uh-uh-uh.
00:12:14Indianapolis.
00:12:15If you can hear me, if you can hear me, say, yeah.
00:12:21All right.
00:12:22All right.
00:12:22We good.
00:12:22We good.
00:12:23Now, look, OG, I ain't going to lie.
00:12:24I've always been a fan of Elimination Chamber.
00:12:27You know what I mean?
00:12:27I've always wanted to be a part of it.
00:12:29And now that I can say I've been a part of it, I didn't think about the toll it takes
00:12:33on your body.
00:12:34You know what I mean?
00:12:35That's six tons of metal that can be used against you at any point of the match.
00:12:40But don't get me wrong.
00:12:41I was in the ring with some big dogs.
00:12:43You hear me?
00:12:44I'm talking about big dogs like L.A. Knight.
00:12:47Yarn.
00:12:49I'm talking about big dogs like Randy Orton.
00:12:51Yarn.
00:12:52Yarn.
00:12:53I'm talking about big dogs like Cardi Rose.
00:12:55Yarn.
00:12:58And Logan Paul was in there, too.
00:12:59But.
00:13:01But I know.
00:13:02I know.
00:13:02I know.
00:13:02But, but, but, but.
00:13:03I got goals and achievements that I want to achieve, I guess.
00:13:08You hear me?
00:13:08You know what I mean?
00:13:09Like a goal that I want to achieve is being a champion here at WWE.
00:13:13So that's why I'm going to watch Dominic Mysterio versus Pinta for the IC Championship.
00:13:18And just to make a public service announcement, hey, it's the Young OG here.
00:13:24I don't care who wins the outcome of the match.
00:13:27Just know that the Young OG might got next.
00:13:30So you better watch it back.
00:13:31And if you like it, you don't like it, agree, don't agree, just know, whenever the Young OG
00:13:37is on TV, all you can say is, that boy is Bouncy.
00:13:43Straight like that.
00:13:44Yarn.
00:13:44I appreciate you, Javon.
00:13:46Enjoy the match.
00:13:47I appreciate you, huh?
00:13:48I am.
00:14:02Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the winner of the 2026 Women's Elimination Chamber,
00:14:10Rhea Bloody Ripley!
00:14:13This is my glutamacy!
00:14:27I'll be sleeping like demons in your dreams.
00:14:33I'll be sleeping.
00:14:40I'll be sleeping.
00:14:43Oh, Rhea, congratulations on winning the Elimination Chamber and punching your ticket
00:14:50to Las Vegas.
00:14:52You know, Rhea, it has been an eventful 48 hours, let's say.
00:14:56So I'll ask you this.
00:14:58How do you feel knowing that the woman you'll face for the Women's Championship at WrestleMania
00:15:05is Jade Cargill?
00:15:11It's been a whirlwind of emotion these last couple of days, to say the least.
00:15:20I mean, losing our Women's Tag Team Championships on SmackDown, it sucked.
00:15:27It really, really sucked.
00:15:33Because EO, she's been so many different things to me.
00:15:40She's been my opponent.
00:15:42She's been my tag partner.
00:15:45But most importantly, she's been my best friend.
00:15:56So, I just want to say, thank you, EO.
00:16:01Thank you for always supporting me and standing by me.
00:16:04And most of all, thank you for pulling me out of a very, very dark situation.
00:16:16You did the same for me, Rhea.
00:16:21But you won the chamber and showed everyone why money is always on top.
00:16:38I will be all right.
00:16:41I will be okay on the road.
00:16:45You go handle your business and win the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania!
00:16:57Do it!
00:16:59Do it!
00:17:00Oh, thank you, EO.
00:17:03You know, I will do it.
00:17:07And I'm going to do it for you.
00:17:10So, hold down Raw for me.
00:17:14Because this Friday...
00:17:18Come here.
00:17:21This Friday, I'm going to be seeing Jade Cargill face-to-face on SmackDown.
00:17:30And come WrestleMania, I will be leaving your new WWE Women's Champion.
00:17:41Thank you, EO.
00:17:43Thank you, EO.
00:17:45Thank you, EO.
00:17:48Here we go.
00:17:50I'm going to be seeing Jade Cargill.

00:21:02come on
00:21:24And while Pensa believes he is destined for great things,
00:21:29this young man was born for it.
00:21:32Of course, accompanied by J.D. McDonough and Finn Balor,
00:21:37it's going to be interesting to see if they're really out here
00:21:40just to wait to celebrate with Dominic after what Dominic calls his victory tonight.
00:21:47Well, there you go, casting a Spurgeon once again.
00:21:50Dirty Dom has the opportunity to inspire the entire world yet again
00:21:55with a career-defining performance as double champion,
00:21:59triple-A mega champion, intercontinental champion, king of the luchadors.
00:22:05Oh, and he was just cursed moments ago, Michael Cole.
00:22:08Yeah, that does not bode well. He was cursed by Dan Housen.
00:22:11This is Dominic Mysterio's first matchup, his first title defense since winning the championship back in Survivor Series over John
00:22:20Cena.
00:22:21That was in late November.
00:22:23Remember, Dominic had suffered a shoulder injury, missed a few months of his career, but now he's back.
00:22:32Let's head up to the ring, and the great Alicia Taylor.
00:22:40The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:22:57Introducing the challenger from E. Come to pick, Mexico!
00:23:06Weighing in at 87 kilos, Penta!
00:23:17And his opponent, from San Diego, California,
00:23:24Weighing in at 200 pounds, representing the Judgment Day,
00:23:31He is the triple-A mega and intercontinental champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio!
00:23:51The official in this match is Eddie Arengo.
00:23:54He will officiate for the Intercontinental Championship tonight.
00:23:57Penta challenging Dominic Mysterio here, live on Monday Night Raw.
00:24:02Let's talk some strategy, Corey.
00:24:04If you're Dominic, how do you keep your title tonight?
00:24:06Use your wits.
00:24:08Dirty Dom inherited Eddie Guerrero level in-ring IQ.
00:24:13Sometimes people consider it taking a shortcut.
00:24:15I consider it outsmarting your opponent.
00:24:18What about Penta? How does he win his first championship here in WWE?
00:24:22Penta's gonna have to make this a fight.
00:24:24Penta likes to stand and throw his hands.
00:24:26Penta likes to take extreme risks.
00:24:28Go a little hardcore when need be.
00:24:31Dominic in his second reign as the Intercontinental Champion.
00:24:34Delivers a kick to Penta.
00:24:37And Penta now, we're gonna pick up the pace!
00:24:39And Hurricane Rana sends Dominic Mysterio out to the floor to catch his breath.
00:24:45Judgment Day's made themselves comfortable at ringside.
00:24:48JD and Finn looking on, and Dominic with a kick to the face.
00:24:53Dom able to throw Penta off of his game, if only momentarily.
00:24:56Here comes the King of the Luchadores!
00:24:58And a kick by Penta. Caught Dominic in the face.
00:25:00And Penta now, with a drop kick.
00:25:03Driving Dominic outside the ring again.
00:25:05Penta gonna turn it up here.
00:25:07Up over the top.
00:25:08Tobe Congelo by Penta!
00:25:12And Penta trying to win the Intercontinental title.
00:25:16This is what it's gonna take.
00:25:25Now, Penta, to your point, Corey, needs to pull out all the stops here tonight.
00:25:29And also, he's gotta keep an eye on the two gentlemen at ringside.
00:25:33By JD McDonough and Finn Balor.
00:25:35I think that's incredibly unfair, Michael Cole.
00:25:37JD is just an unbiased observer, as is Finn Balor.
00:25:41Finn's still recovering from an incredible championship matchup at Elimination Chamber.
00:25:46And Dominic Mysterio driven into the steel steps.
00:25:54Look at this, the Judgment Day getting out of Penta's way, allowing him to operate.
00:25:58Oh!
00:25:59Well, you know, Finn said Dom's gotta do this on his own.
00:26:03Just like Finn did this past Saturday.
00:26:05And do you know why Finn is out here and JD is out here to watch Dirty Dom?
00:26:08So that doubters and haters like you will have to accept the fact
00:26:12that El Masucio de los Sucios, Dirty Dominic Mysterio, is a deserving double champion.
00:26:19Well, Penta right now giving Dominic all he can handle.
00:26:24Intercontinental Championship on the line.
00:26:27And Dirty Dom sent across the ring and Penta caught him with a kick.
00:26:34Penta, I think he might believe this is gonna be a cakewalk, Corey.
00:26:38I don't believe that's what's going through Penta's mind.
00:26:41I think he is absolutely prepared for this, to go the distance.
00:26:46For it to get ugly as needed.
00:26:48And Penta needs to concentrate.
00:26:49Oh!
00:26:50On the match at hand.
00:26:51And maybe that is what happened, Michael Cole, because Penta took his eye off the ball.
00:26:56Yeah.
00:26:56He looked away from Dirty Dom and now he's paying for it.
00:26:58He was mouthing off to Balor at ringside.
00:27:00And now Dirty Dominic Mysterio, cover to retain.
00:27:03And Penta kicks out at two.
00:27:07I mean, I have to admit, Balor and McDonough did not do anything to incite that there.
00:27:12They've been model citizens thus far.
00:27:15We have no reason to doubt them.
00:27:17We don't?
00:27:19No, not yet.
00:27:20You obviously have not studied their track record.
00:27:24Why are we worried about track record?
00:27:26I mean, that's old history.
00:27:28I mean, just because somebody's made mistakes in the past or made questionable decisions
00:27:31doesn't mean they're doomed to repeat.
00:27:34And Dominic, now is Penta in trouble in the corner.
00:27:37One, two, three, four.
00:27:40The official giving a little bit of leeway here in this matchup, of course, for the title.
00:27:52The confidence of Dirty Dominic Mysterio is absolutely off the charts these days.
00:27:58Think about what it'll do for the King of the Luchadores if he beats Penta tonight
00:28:02and then defeats Vikingo at Rey de Reyes in several weeks.
00:28:06This could be a career-defining month for Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:28:14Cover!
00:28:16Penta kicks out!
00:28:22This is for the Intercontinental Championship live on Monday Night Raw on Netflix from Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:28:28And Dominic Mysterio, after a slight distraction, which was really pent this fall earlier on,
00:28:34Dominic's taking control of this match.
00:28:36I'd like you to say that once again, perhaps a little louder so J.D. and Finn can hear you
00:28:40as you once again cast aspersions in their direction.
00:28:43And you just admit it.
00:28:44Penta took his eye off the ball.
00:28:46Up over the top.
00:28:47Penta rolling out of harm's way.
00:28:49And now a clothesline followed by another one.
00:28:50As Penta looks to pick up the pace here.
00:28:53Kick to the back of the leg.
00:28:55And Penta with a sling blade.
00:28:57Face first.
00:29:00Intercontinental Champion out of sorts at the moment.
00:29:02Dirty Dom needs to figure out a way to solve this offense.
00:29:05From the man with no fear.
00:29:07Cover!
00:29:07Title off the kick to the back of the head.
00:29:09And a kick out by Dominic Mysterio.
00:29:16Look at the intensity in the eyes of Penta.
00:29:19Dom out of the way just in time.
00:29:20Oh, and look at that!
00:29:21That's the mullet-o-matic!
00:29:24Almost had him in a kick out!
00:29:25I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
00:29:28Mullet-o-matic.
00:29:29That was named by Dirty Dom.
00:29:30I didn't make it up.
00:29:31Oh, well in that case, it's a great idea.
00:29:32I love that name.
00:29:33I might put it on a t-shirt.
00:29:39Dirty Dom so close to retaining the championship there.
00:29:48And look at it!
00:29:49Just mentioned the great Eddie Guerrero moments ago.
00:29:53Dominic Mysterio looking to deliver three amigos to Penta here.
00:29:57An homage to the man Dominic wished raised him.
00:30:04Countered by Penta!
00:30:05A great counter by Penta.
00:30:06Now the champ's in trouble.
00:30:07Penta trying to get back into this.
00:30:12Penta trying to rally the WWE fans here in Indianapolis.
00:30:15And a kick by Dominic.
00:30:17Stops Penta in his tracks.
00:30:18Now Mysterio up to the second rope and that'll cost him.
00:30:21Kick by Penta to the face.
00:30:24Penta extremely comfortable in high-risk situations such as this.
00:30:29Dirty Dom doing his best to fight out of the situation.
00:30:33Piero Tazzo by Penta.
00:30:34Yeah, Penta turned that around quickly.
00:30:36Now Dominic though with a boot to the face stuns Penta.
00:30:40And now Mysterio with a DDT on the apron.
00:30:43And that may be the game changer the champ needed.
00:30:47And quickly back into the ring looking for a cover to put this one away.
00:30:50To retain his championship.
00:30:51Inside leg hooked.
00:30:53But Penta still kicks out.
00:30:54Let's take another look at how resourceful the Intercontinental Champion should be.
00:30:58A DDT driving the challenger onto the apron.
00:31:02And I don't know if Penta is going to be able to come back from that.
00:31:09Dominic taking his time.
00:31:11Realizes he's in control.
00:31:18Well placed right hand by the champion.
00:31:21Answered by the challenger.
00:31:22Yeah, Penta still got fight left in him.
00:31:29Dom gets too confident in a fight situation.
00:31:31It may be a mistake.
00:31:33Penta extremely comfortable throwing fists.
00:31:36Likes to just get ugly and make a match a fight.
00:31:40And now Penta launched out to the apron.
00:31:43Oh, and a big forearm by Dominic.
00:31:46Drops Penta to the floor.
00:31:48Dirty Dom now looking to fly.
00:31:50Wow, Dominic takes out Penta.
00:31:52May have hurt himself as well.
00:31:55Remember, Dominic had that shoulder injury.
00:31:57It prevented Dom from defending his Intercontinental Championship.
00:32:00But I assure you, Dom is ready for tonight.
00:32:06Penta and Dominic Mysterio now blasting Penta into the timekeeper's area.
00:32:14Who wants it more?
00:32:24Again, Corey, I think it's important to point out, we did not see this on camera, but I don't know
00:32:28if you noticed, but right before Dominic blasted Penta over the barricade, Penta was staring down at the judgment day
00:32:36again of Balor and McDonough, expecting them to get involved.
00:32:39Well, listen, I don't care what everybody's expecting, J.D. and Finn have been model citizens the entire time.
00:32:46I agree.
00:32:46I understand Penta's thought process.
00:32:50Well, think about what the judgment day has done to Penta over the past year.
00:32:53There's a reason for that.
00:32:55You can't blame Finn and J.D. for their actions in the past.
00:32:59You've got to let the past be the past.
00:33:01It's a different night.
00:33:02It's a different situation.
00:33:03It'd be like me expecting you.
00:33:04Oh, look at this.
00:33:05And this is a shrewd strategy.
00:33:07Tying Penta up with his mask in the ropes, a five count for Dirty Dom here.
00:33:15And so many traits of the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
00:33:20And J.D. just looked over to me and smiled ear to ear saying, look how smart Dirty Dom is.
00:33:26And the referee Eddie Arengo are finally going to get Penta freed from the bottom rope.
00:33:35It has been an impressive performance thus far by the champion.
00:33:40Done a great job grounding Penta, not allowing him to get going really in this matchup.
00:33:49Penta has shown flashes of offense, but nothing sustainable.
00:33:52It has been all Dirty Dom for the past several minutes.
00:33:56Much to the delight of Finn and J.D. who are sitting ringside behaving themselves perfectly.
00:34:10Interesting chant from the WWE fans here in Indianapolis tonight.
00:34:20Dominic placing Penta on the top rope.
00:34:23The champion looking to take it high risk.
00:34:26Dirty Dom with nasty cross faces.
00:34:28Penta trying to cover up and protect himself.
00:34:30Now Dominic, is he trying to loosen the mask of Penta?
00:34:33One, two, three.
00:34:35This will cause major issues for Penta if Dominic can get that mask off.
00:34:42We saw earlier in the night with Gunther and Dragon Lee.
00:34:45Instinctively, a luchador protects his face.
00:34:48You lose your mask, it does throw you off your game.
00:34:51And Dirty Dom understands that very well.
00:34:54Well, Dom's done a great job throwing Penta off his game throughout a lot of this match.
00:34:59And now into the corner right to the midsection.
00:35:20Dominic Mysterio again trying to take the mask off Penta.
00:35:24But Penta able to fight back from the top rope.
00:35:27Looking to the intercontinental title.
00:35:28What a cross body.
00:35:30And this is what Dominic was trying to avoid.
00:35:32Penta starting to pick up some momentum here.
00:35:36Once Penta strings together some offense, he can become like a runaway train.
00:35:40Almost impossible to stop.
00:35:42Dom not where he wants to be.
00:35:45Rare miscalculation by Penta.
00:35:47Nice recovery.
00:35:48That'll drive the wind out of you.
00:35:51And a cover by Penta.
00:35:53Penta wraps the arm and the leg.
00:35:55Forcing Dominic to kick at it too.
00:35:59Great ring awareness by the challenger.
00:36:01Realizing Dom might be able to reach for the bottom rope.
00:36:04Penta trapped the arm.
00:36:06And J.D. McDonough and Finn Balor, Dom's brethren from the Judgment Day,
00:36:10have been true to their word.
00:36:11They're out here to cheer Dominic on.
00:36:14And to celebrate if Dominic wins.
00:36:17Penta was looking for the Penta driver.
00:36:19Now heads into the corner.
00:36:21Dominic able to avoid.
00:36:22Dominic now with the right hand.
00:36:24And Mysterio got caught by Penta.
00:36:26Oh!
00:36:27And a kick to the face.
00:36:31Dirty Dom on Dream Street at the moment.
00:36:35Penta sent across the ring.
00:36:37He'll go up over the top to a backstabber.
00:36:40Cover.
00:36:41Penta for the title.
00:36:43Now the shoulders are down.
00:36:45And that may have cost him as Dominic got the shoulder up.
00:36:48It may have made all the difference.
00:36:49Penta unintentionally pulled Dom's shoulder off while attempting to secure his arm.
00:36:54Honest mistake, but that could prove to be fatal.
00:36:57But great job by the referee Eddie Arengo making sure the shoulders are down before administering the count.
00:37:05And now Penta setting up perhaps for the Mexican destroyer to put Dominic away.
00:37:12But Dominic ready for it.
00:37:13Into a driver.
00:37:14Cover now by Dominic.
00:37:17Kick out at two.
00:37:20Dominic cannot believe that Penta was able to kick out.
00:37:23Fantastic counter by the Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dom.
00:37:28Modified Michinoku driver.
00:37:30Put Penta down, but couldn't put him away.
00:37:34When does doubt start to creep in for Dominic?
00:37:37I don't know that it does.
00:37:39I don't know that it has to.
00:37:40Dirty Dom has been supremely confident.
00:37:43Uh-oh, position for the 619.
00:37:45Here we go.
00:37:47Dirty Dom connects to Penta.
00:37:51And now Dom going to go up top to look to put Penta away.
00:37:56Went with a splash.
00:37:57Penta caught him.
00:37:59And Dominic about to be made a sacrifice.
00:38:05The sacrifice to Dom.
00:38:07And remember the bad shoulder.
00:38:09This good spell disaster for the champion.
00:38:12Penta has it hooked.
00:38:13Look at it.
00:38:13Oh, Penta driver.
00:38:15Here's the cover for the win.
00:38:17Dominic kicks out at two.
00:38:20Dominic kicked out of the Penta driver.
00:38:22And that can be a game changer and a heartbreaker for Penta.
00:38:27For the challenger.
00:38:28You land your best shot.
00:38:30The Penta driver.
00:38:32Middle of the ring.
00:38:33And the champion kicks out.
00:38:37Now the doubt has to creep in on Penta.
00:38:40Trying to win his first championship here in WWE.
00:38:43He had a golden opportunity.
00:38:45And Dom's still able to survive.
00:38:51Now Penta's taking the fight.
00:38:53But he's got to be careful.
00:38:55Yeah, you're right.
00:38:56Penta can't let his emotions get the best of him.
00:38:58Lest he get disqualified.
00:39:00And he's shown a little bit of leniency.
00:39:02Understanding the stakes in this matchup.
00:39:04And Penta finally.
00:39:06It's driven away for Dominic Mysterio.
00:39:08That was close.
00:39:13And Dominic is reeling.
00:39:17Done across the ring.
00:39:18Filing up with his shoulder to the midsection.
00:39:21A little look at the judgment day.
00:39:24Oh!
00:39:25Shoulder first to the post.
00:39:26Dominic Mysterio.
00:39:27That was desperation as he collapsed.
00:39:31Ah!
00:39:32Ah!
00:39:36Ah!
00:39:36Ah!
00:39:36Ah!
00:39:37Ah!
00:39:38Give me the hammer!
00:39:41Give me the bell hammer!
00:39:43Ah!
00:39:45Ah!
00:39:46Ah!
00:39:46Ah!
00:39:47Ah!
00:39:48Ah!
00:39:51Ah!
00:40:15Ah!
00:40:16Ah!
00:40:17Ah!
00:40:18Ah!
00:40:18Ah!
00:40:20Penta's got Dominic in trouble
00:40:22Run for the Mexican Destroyer
00:40:24Dominic dropped toehold
00:40:26Into position for the 619
00:40:28This time Penta moved out of harm's way
00:40:30Up over the top
00:40:32Mexican Destroyer
00:40:34Cover
00:40:36Penta wins his first title
00:40:41Here is your winner
00:40:43The new
00:40:46Intercontinental Champion
00:40:49Penta
00:40:50Penta finally
00:40:53Climbs the mount
00:40:55After numerous
00:40:57Opportunities
00:40:58Penta wins his first title
00:41:01In WWE
00:41:04Here are the closing moments
00:41:06Penta
00:41:07Shoulder first into the ring post
00:41:10And Dirty Dom
00:41:10Would command JD
00:41:12No, no
00:41:14He wants to go by himself
00:41:18He said he wants to do it by himself
00:41:21Let him do it by himself
00:41:22All right
00:41:22Let him do it by himself
00:41:26And amongst the
00:41:27Dom did say he wanted to do it by himself
00:41:29He did
00:41:29But JD was trying to have the champions back
00:41:32Penta able to evade the 619 attempt
00:41:36And deliver a Mexican Destroyer
00:41:39And from sleeping and starving in the streets
00:41:42To the absolute top of the world
00:41:44Congratulations to the man with no fear
00:41:48The new Intercontinental Champion
00:42:13Ladies and gentlemen
00:42:15Congratulations to Penta
00:42:18He deserved it and he earned it
00:42:19An incredible moment
00:42:21A long time coming
00:42:22Congratulations
00:42:23I couldn't be happier for Penta
00:42:24And what a mess we've got heading into Friday Night Smackdown
00:42:28When we went off the air on Saturday
00:42:30The last thing I said
00:42:31Was Randy Orton will face Drew McIntyre
00:42:34For the WWE Championship at WrestleMania
00:42:38But Drew got involved in the Chamber
00:42:40And in a way
00:42:41Screwed Cody Rhodes again
00:42:43This happened after the Chamber went off the air
00:42:46General Manager Nick Aldis
00:42:48Was beside himself
00:42:58Drew
00:43:01Drew
00:43:03You seem to be so hellbent
00:43:05On preventing Cody Rhodes
00:43:07To get another shot at you
00:43:08Well guess what
00:43:09This Friday Night
00:43:10On Smackdown
00:43:12It is Drew McIntyre
00:43:14Versus Cody Rhodes
00:43:16For the WWE Championship
00:43:18And that's all I have to say about it
00:43:30So this coming Friday Night
00:43:32Live from Portland
00:43:35The main event at WrestleMania
00:43:38Hangs in the balance
00:43:40Will it be Drew McIntyre
00:43:42Will it be Cody Rhodes
00:43:44Who will face Randy Orton
00:43:47At WrestleMania
00:43:49Mania
00:44:20Mania
00:44:21Mania
00:44:22Mania
00:44:22Mania

00:44:36Mania
00:44:49The aura that is the OTC, the Royal Rumble winner, the main event for the world title
00:44:58at WrestleMania, Roman Reigns is live.
00:45:17Roman Reigns and CM Punk, an opportunity to be one of the great main events in the illustrious
00:45:27history of WrestleMania.
00:45:29And things got salty a few weeks ago, they got salty again this past Saturday night, Roman
00:45:35Reigns sent out a very controversial tweet about CM Punk's match against Finn Balor.
00:45:41Punk would retaliate on the post show, basically calling Roman Rusty Reigns because he doesn't
00:45:48show up all the time in Punk's mind.
00:45:50Well, this has been a long simmering issue between two world-class athletes who, quite
00:45:55frankly, cannot stand the sight of one another.
00:45:58It all comes to a head at WrestleMania in Las Vegas in 47 nights.
00:46:12Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the winner of the 2026 Men's Royal Rumble, the OTC Roman
00:46:28Reigns!
00:46:29You know, Corey, so many accolades in the career of this man.
00:46:33But think about this.
00:46:35Yet another WrestleMania main event continues to add on to his record, Roman Reigns.
00:46:44You know who's not surprised about those records, about those statistics?
00:46:48Roman Reigns himself.
00:46:50Roman Reigns has, for years, referred to himself as his family's thoroughbred.
00:46:57Roman was built for WrestleMania, built for the main event, and built for greatness.
00:47:20There have been very few over the years, Corey, that have commanded the presence like this man.
00:47:50Roman Reigns, in the ring, the winner of the Rumble, the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:48:01Roman Reigns, in the ring, the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:48:04Roman Reigns, in the ring, the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:48:09Roman Reigns, in the ring, the OTC Roman Reigns.
00:48:12Roman Reigns, in the ring, the OTC Roman Reigns.

00:53:05OTC! OTC! OTC! OTC!
00:53:26Okay, we remember things differently, but maybe I didn't pick you.
00:53:34But you certainly picked me, didn't you?
00:53:37And now look at us.
00:53:40The main event of WrestleMania in Las Vegas, and if you ask me,
00:53:46hell, I think if you asked Indianapolis, I've already won.
00:53:57The last time you and I were face-to-face in a ring, you told me that you hated me.
00:54:06You hate me?
00:54:09I got you right where I want you.
00:54:12I made you this emotional lady.
00:54:15You hate me?
00:54:17I'm in your head, as empty as it is.
00:54:22I'm under your skin, and I'm here to tell you that it's translucent.
00:54:28I can see right through you.
00:54:37You're right.
00:54:40I do hate you.
00:54:44But this is what you're missing, Phil.
00:54:49Phil, if you didn't have that title, I'd be indifferent to you.
00:54:55You wouldn't exist.
00:54:57You wouldn't even be on my radar.
00:55:01Phil, let's remind you real quick.
00:55:04We brought you back here to entertain the 30 to 40-year-old virgins that live with their mom and
00:55:09dad.
00:55:11We brought you back to sell a few t-shirts here and there.
00:55:15We brought you back to maybe draw a house in Chicago.
00:55:22But we didn't bring you back to be champion.
00:55:25No.
00:55:26That's too much responsibility for you.
00:55:28That's too much power.
00:55:29That's above your pay grade.
00:55:36We can't trust you, Phil.
00:55:40You're a liar.
00:55:42You lied to all these people, and unfortunately, they believe you.
00:55:46You got them thinking that you're having a good time here.
00:55:50You got them thinking that you're a locker room veteran and leader, that you're making all these towns happily, that
00:55:56you're running these tours with a smile on your face.
00:55:59And you can lie in your interviews, and you can tweet that out in Instagram, that you're hanging out with
00:56:03my cousins all you want to the world, but we all know the truth.
00:56:06Every second you get your bitching and moaning back there, and they cannot wait to tell me every time that
00:56:14I come around.
00:56:15And that's why you're not fit to be champion.
00:56:19You're not seeing punk.
00:56:20You're just a punk-ass bitch to me.
00:56:25And at Mania, this backup plan, it ends.
00:56:29And when I win that championship, the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to put your punk
00:56:37-ass on one of them John Cena retirement tours.
00:56:41We're going to max you out.
00:56:42We're going to make as much money off of you, and then you want to know what's going to happen?
00:56:46We're going to send you down to NXT, and you're going to teach the next generation how to do what
00:56:53we do.
00:56:54And when you're done, you're going to send them up to me, and the tribal chief is going to smash
00:56:58each and every one of them.
00:57:07You think you could just walk away from me?
00:57:09Were you done?
00:57:10Were you done, Roman?
00:57:11Well, I'm not, and you're going to stand here and listen to everything I've got to say.
00:57:16You just said a bunch of shit, and we've got to cover it all.
00:57:19First things first, we?
00:57:21Who's we?
00:57:23You've got some extra Samoan goblins in your pocket that I can't see?
00:57:27Huh?
00:57:29You're all alone.
00:57:31You're alone on your bus.
00:57:33You're alone in your room.
00:57:35Your cousins aren't with you anymore.
00:57:37There's no more shield to help you do anything.
00:57:40Hell, you don't even have a wise man anymore.
00:57:42And look at me.
00:57:44I took him away from you.
00:57:48No, you're all alone.
00:57:49And I love moments like this because it just illustrates your entire career.
00:57:54You chasing me.
00:57:57I'm the champ.
00:57:59You're in the main event of WrestleMania, not just because you won the Royal Rumble, but
00:58:04because I'm the main event.
00:58:06I'm on Netflix.
00:58:07This is my show.
00:58:08I run things here.
00:58:18I'm in the locker room, yeah, hanging out with your cousins, and you're all alone, and
00:58:23you can't get things done when you're by yourself, can you?
00:58:32You hate me?
00:58:36Fair enough.
00:58:37You can hate me all you want.
00:58:39I don't even care if you love me.
00:58:41One thing I won't let you do is disrespect me.
00:58:46You're going to retire me?
00:58:49You're going to retire CM Punk.
00:58:52Well, brother, you just made the list.
00:58:54You went from getting beat at WrestleMania.
00:58:58Now I'm going to bury you.
00:59:04And then you won't be all alone anymore.
00:59:09Because I'm going to bury you next to your father.
00:59:20Look in my eyes I feel the seed of the abnormality.
00:59:30I know you're in it.
00:59:33I know you're dreams.
00:59:36I feel the thing you want to be.
00:59:40Oh, I love the personality.
