00:05:58he is the most famous personality on the face of the planet today logan paul
00:06:10this is where someone is supposed to come out and say welcome to monday night raw
00:06:19this is where they're supposed to say live from indianapolis indiana
00:06:33well i hate to piss on everyone's raid but excuse me while i whip this out
00:06:43we are here tonight to talk about seth freaking rollins
00:06:58the single biggest thief in the history
00:07:18i hate that freaking song
00:07:27and i hate seth freaking rollins
00:07:34seth rollins stole the credit for co-founding the vision from me
00:07:42he's not worthy of that credit seth rollins stole the credit
00:07:48for co-founding the shield and he doesn't deserve that but that's not my problem anymore
00:07:56what is my problem is that seth rollins stole the elimination chamber
00:08:02and therefore stole the main event of wrestlemania from logan paul
00:08:18ladies and gentlemen seth rollins feeds oxygen from every single human being on the face of this planet
00:08:31that's worthy of living and mr lynch is not one of them and we are going to do
00:08:41something about that because the next time seth rollins is in a wwe ring
00:08:50we are going to stomp his ass out
00:09:00that's not a prediction that's not a spoiler that is a personal guarantee from the three of us
00:09:13the two of us in the vision

00:10:13tell him yourself let him know
00:10:15seth rollins you scumbag
00:10:22i eliminated three people in the chamber before you stole the victory from me
00:10:32the last person to do that was brock lesnar that is the kind of company that i keep so now
00:10:42the rest of this show is not happening until seth rollins comes out here and answers all right all
00:10:50right all right all right all right we get it we get it we get it the vision's upset we

00:11:39deal i need to have a conversation with seth rollins but with you three out here i can't have a
00:11:44conversation

00:11:59me carry on with my broadcast hey look out
00:12:06all right that hooded dude just jumped over the barricade and now security security chasing him out of the arena
00:12:33hey man understandably cautious looks like he just saw a ghost
00:12:43well he's looking into the eyes of one now hey that is nowhere to go
00:12:55hey man pleading
00:13:11oh no paul you better uh you might want to turn around
00:13:18oh
00:13:19seth rollins
00:13:28the visionary is here
00:13:35oh
00:13:55Paul Heyman just got his ass stomped out.
00:14:06Paul Heyman just got his ass stomped out.
00:14:30Deja vu tonight in Indianapolis.
00:14:33Or if history has taught us anything, it's that the architect Seth Rollins always has
00:14:41a plan.
00:14:43I mean Corey there are mass men everywhere.
00:14:46Obviously decoys for this trap by Rollins as he stomps his former Oracle.
00:14:52Rollins carrying out a personal vendetta tonight.
00:15:06Well Paul Heyman was concerned about that decoy in the aisle way but
00:15:10it was Seth Rollins who would once again appear.
00:15:12A series of masked men finally ending with the visionary himself who delivered
00:15:17the chair shot to the spine of his former Oracle.
00:15:23You reap what you sow, Mr. Heyman.
00:15:26And how good this must have felt for Seth Rollins and everything that he and
00:15:31Heyman have been through over the past year.
00:15:36And then Heyman being helped out of the arena.
00:15:51Hey man, what is wrong with him?
00:15:54What is wrong with him?
00:15:54Tell me now.
00:15:55Do something.
00:15:56Stop the bleeding.
00:15:57Stop the bleeding.
00:15:59Stop.
00:16:00Stop.
00:16:01Get the car.
00:16:02Get the car.
00:16:03Get the car.
00:16:04Get the car.
00:16:07Shut up.
00:16:09Wise man.
00:16:09It's gonna be alright.
00:16:10It's gonna be alright.
00:16:12It's gonna be okay.
00:16:14It's gonna be okay.
00:16:15Logan.
00:16:16Let's go man.
00:16:18Come on.
00:16:19Hey.
00:16:19Wise man.
00:16:21Jimmy Uso.
00:16:24Whoa.
00:16:25Jimmy Uso.
00:16:27Assaulting Austin Theory.
00:16:31He believes that the vision had something to do with his attack on his brother Friday,
00:16:36Jey Uso.
00:16:43Nice work there.
00:16:44I'll take it from here.
00:16:45Yeah.
00:16:46Don't worry boys.
00:16:47He'll get the help he needs.
00:16:49Yeah.
00:16:49Yeah.
00:16:54Oh no.
00:16:55Paul Heyman going for a ride now courtesy of LA Knight.
00:16:58What the heck is happening?
00:17:00All the vision's enemies are coming out to get him.
00:17:27The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:17:32Introducing first.
00:17:33Hey.
00:17:33Dragon Lee.
00:17:35They're supposed to have a match tonight and now Dragon Lee attacking Gunther in the entranceway.
00:17:41Dragon Lee not willing to wait for the opening bell.
00:17:43This is absolute madness to kick off Monday Night Raw tonight.
00:17:46Dragon Lee has been going after Gunther for weeks ever since Gunther retired.
00:17:53Dragon Lee's buddy AJ Styles.
00:17:56Dragon Lee refusing to stand by idly as Gunther has taken multiple victory laps at the expense
00:18:02of the phenomenal one.
00:18:03Oh my God.
00:18:04Oh what a kick on.
00:18:05What a chaotic start.
00:18:09Well this match is now underway.
00:18:12Gunther and Dragon Lee first time ever one on one.
00:18:15Dragon Lee came out of the gates cooking as Gunther trying to take the mask off Dragon Lee.
00:18:21But Dragon Lee paid for it when he was launched into the timekeepers area and it's been all Gunther since.
00:18:27Dragon Lee had the right idea.
00:18:29You've gotta try to look for any sort of early advantage you can.
00:18:33And look at the back of Dragon Lee.
00:18:35All welted up after suffering that massive backdrop into the timekeepers area.
00:18:40No doubt his chest is gonna match momentarily courtesy of those thunderous knife edge chops of the career killer.
00:18:46This all began when Dragon Lee took offense to the way that Gunther talked about the retirement of Dragon Lee's
00:18:52former tag partner his friend AJ Styles.
00:18:55Couple of weeks ago Dragon Lee cost Gunther an opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.
00:19:03Dragon Lee still fighting back.
00:19:08Big boot!
00:19:17Take another look as Dragon Lee tried to step on the gas pedal instead was met with a massive boot
00:19:24to the jaw.
00:19:25You know since Gunther appeared on the scene and here on the main roster about four years ago do you
00:19:31realize he's never lost a not title singles match?
00:19:35I mean incredible.
00:19:37It sounds surreal to say out loud but it is factually accurate and Gunther always eager to remind the world
00:19:43that
00:19:44he is the best professional wrestler in the world today.
00:19:49And the way this is going I don't think a streak is in any danger.
00:19:53Where's your friend?
00:19:55Where's AJ?
00:19:57And now Gunther mocking a fallen Dragon Lee.
00:20:00You gotta think at this juncture it's about punishment.
00:20:02It's about Gunther making Dragon Lee pay for being a thorn in his side.
00:20:06And this isn't about disrespect.
00:20:08This is tactical.
00:20:09Gunther's trying to get in the head of Dragon Lee.
00:20:13Gunther doesn't care about the Lucha tradition.
00:20:16No, it's about beating the hell out of anybody who's in front of him.
00:20:19This guy's a terminator.
00:20:26Dragon Lee trying to somehow fight back into this match.
00:20:29That kick stuns Gunther and that one as well.
00:20:31Dragon's gonna have to rely on his speed dealing with the much more powerful ring general.
00:20:36A series of chops.
00:20:37Here comes Dragon.
00:20:39Clothesline turns him inside out.
00:20:40I was just about to say, Dragon Lee may have lost a tooth.
00:20:43Cover, hook to the leg.
00:20:45Kick at it too.
00:20:45I was about to say, Dragon Lee's gotta get imaginative with his offense here tonight.
00:20:49To have any opportunity.
00:20:50We know Dragon Lee has the capabilities.
00:20:53But how do you prepare for that type of impact?
00:20:56That can turn your lights out in the blink of an eye.
00:21:01Once again, just punishing it.
00:21:03And this is about sending a message to Dragon Lee.
00:21:06I can do whatever the heck I want to you.
00:21:08I am the career killer.
00:21:10I call the shots around here.
00:21:11On a larger scale, it's about sending a message to everybody, right?
00:21:14Yes, sir.
00:21:14Who wants to step up next?
00:21:16Great counter by Dragon Lee.
00:21:17A pin in combination and a kick at it too.
00:21:21Dragon Lee showing some spark now.
00:21:25Trying to take Gunther off his feet, but that chop just drops Dragon Lee.
00:21:28And every time Dragon tries to get something going, he's just stopped in his tracks.
00:21:33Gunther's hand has become the axe that clears the forest in WWE.
00:21:38Oh, look at it.
00:21:39Put Dragon to sleep on the apron as we saw in the past.
00:21:42And Dragon Lee now with a kick to Gunther, stuns him.
00:21:45Gunther's in trouble and now Dragon Lee gonna take to the skies.
00:21:49Able to roll through.
00:21:50There's the quickness and Gunther gets caught up on the top rope.
00:21:54Dragon Lee's got an opportunity now.
00:21:55Drop kick, drops Gunther to an E.
00:21:57Went to the face.
00:22:00Lee found a little bit of daylight and is looking to capitalize to the maximum here.
00:22:04Drop kicks Gunther onto the ring.
00:22:08Gunther driven out to the floor.
00:22:10Dragon Lee gonna fly with a suicide dive, but he's caught by Gunther who drives him kidney first to the
00:22:17apron.
00:22:17And the chop drops Dragon Lee.
00:22:25And Corey, every flurry from Dragon Lee has been met with malice from Gunther.
00:22:31And unfortunately for Dragon Lee, the crowd here in Indianapolis beginning to taunt Gunther with you tapped out chants.
00:22:37Unfortunately, Gunther only has one person in front of him to take out that angst upon.
00:22:41Gunther started to toy with Dragon Lee and Dragon took offense to that.
00:22:44But again, Gunther with the right hand.
00:22:46And now Dragon Lee up looking for a powerbomb.
00:22:49Dragon Lee though, Able went for a boot, blocked momentarily.
00:22:53There's a clothesline, Gunther still on his feet.
00:22:56Lee has been unable to sustain much offense at all in this matchup save for a few maneuvers here and
00:23:01there.
00:23:02Big back body drop.
00:23:03Landed hard.
00:23:04And now into the sleeper.
00:23:06No, went for the mask again.
00:23:08Thought he was gonna go for the sleeper.
00:23:09Decided to grab the mask and Dragon Lee made him pay for it.
00:23:12Look out below.
00:23:14And that basement drop kick into the corner to Gunther.
00:23:18And now Dragon Lee starting to feel it a little bit, but he's gotta stay on the attack.
00:23:22He cannot waste any motion here.
00:23:24Looking for Operation Dragon perhaps.
00:23:25But Gunther picked him out.
00:23:27My.
00:23:28The air off the slam.
00:23:30Cover.
00:23:30Kick out at two.
00:23:33Gunther delivering something of an Emerald Frozen made famous by Mitsaru Masawa.
00:23:41Driving Dragon Lee into the center of the ring and nearly ending this battle.
00:23:46But once again, credit where it's due to Dragon Lee for being able to withstand this onslaught from the career
00:23:52killer.
00:23:52Yeah, a little bit of disbelief by Gunther that time that Lee was actually able to kick out of that.
00:23:59Once again, looking for a powerbomb that's so successful.
00:24:07I mean, you can't think at all if you're dragging Lee.
00:24:10You might wanna start considering self-preservation because things are only gonna get worse.
00:24:17Another epic powerbomb by Gunther.
00:24:22And into the cover to put Dragon Lee away.
00:24:25And no, Gunther said, uh-uh, I wanna punish him some more.
00:24:28He shouldn't have stepped up to me.
00:24:30He shouldn't have tried to defend the honor of AJ Styles.
00:24:33I'm gonna make an example of him.
00:24:36Gunther reminding Dragon Lee that he knows no mercy.
00:24:47I don't know what Gunther has in mind, but it is not good for Dragon Lee.
00:24:51Man, onto the ring apron.
00:24:54Almost a powerbomb into the ring.
00:24:55God, God.
00:24:56No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:58Right on our table.
00:25:01Chad, come check on him.
00:25:03We gotta think about stopping this.
00:25:05Chad.
00:25:05Chad, check on him.
00:25:08He may have a broken back.
00:25:15A count of four now by the official Chad Patton.
00:25:19I can't believe I'm saying this, but count faster, Chad.
00:25:22Speed up the count, Chad.
00:25:23Let's go.
00:25:24End this thing.
00:25:25Count of seven.
00:25:26And look at Gunther now.
00:25:27Gunther wants to punish him some more.
00:25:29Gunther going out to assault Dragon Lee some more.
00:25:33Dragon Lee, though, sends that flip to Gunther.
00:25:37Gunther landed high on his shoulders and the base of his neck.
00:25:41I don't know where Dragon Lee was able to summon that offense from.
00:25:45Gunther, he may think twice about going out of the ring after Dragon Lee.
00:25:51He could have won this match by a count out, I do believe.
00:25:54I think what we just saw was a modicum of overconfidence from the ring general.
00:26:00And I can't blame Gunther.
00:26:01Count of seven.
00:26:04Count of eight.
00:26:06Gunther to the apron.
00:26:07Drop kick by Dragon Lee.
00:26:08Drops Gunther right in front of us now.
00:26:10Dragon Lee gonna fly.
00:26:12Suicide die.
00:26:13Oh, drop the underwear announce table.
00:26:17Now it's Dragon Lee looking to go scorched earth on the ring general.
00:26:21Dragon Lee has survived and then some.
00:26:24He's got the ring general on his heels and in deep, deep trouble here.
00:26:32Indeed it is.
00:26:34I agree, Indy.
00:26:35Dragon Lee.
00:26:37Operation Dragon.
00:26:38Dragon.
00:26:39On the outside.
00:26:42Yes.
00:26:43Chad Patton counts at six.
00:26:46Count of seven.
00:26:47Dragon Lee may win this by count out.
00:26:49Count of eight.
00:26:50Gunther's down.
00:26:51Gunther's down.
00:26:52Count of nine.
00:26:53And Gunther drags itself in the ring.
00:26:56Oh.
00:26:57With a fraction of a second remaining, Gunther's back in.
00:27:00And Dragon Lee went for a clothesline again.
00:27:03Now a drop kick.
00:27:04Gunther's in deep, deep trouble here.
00:27:06He's reeling, Corey.
00:27:07Gunther's reeling.
00:27:08And there, down goes Gunther.
00:27:12I don't know where Dragon Lee found it.
00:27:16Can he do it?
00:27:17A massive upset went for Operation Dragon again, but Gunther countered.
00:27:22Countered into a sleeper.
00:27:23Sleeper hold is in.
00:27:25And now, Dragon took the mask off.
00:27:30Gunther ripped off the mask.
00:27:32The sleeper.
00:27:34And a tap out.
00:27:35The match is over.
00:27:37Gunther will not let go of this hold.
00:27:49Here is your winner, by submission, the ring general, Gunther.
00:27:58Well, it was a battle that Gunther wasn't expected to have.
00:28:01And it was a display of heart on a whole different level from Dragon Lee.
00:28:06Here we see Gunther on a roll.
00:28:08A powerbomb nearly put the Dragon through the ring.
00:28:12Followed up with one to the apron.
00:28:15And here's where Gunther looked to end.
00:28:17Not always a knife.
00:28:18Not just the match.
00:28:19Perhaps the career of Dragon Lee.
00:28:22But miraculously, Lee was able to turn the tides back into his favor.
00:28:28Deliver Operation Dragon on the floor.
00:28:31And then when he looked to seal the deal, this is where the in-ring expertise of the general paid
00:28:37dividends.
00:28:38Gunther ripping off the mask of Dragon Lee.
00:28:41Knowing that was going to force panic into Luchador.
00:28:44Allowing Gunther to cinch the sleeper in even deeper.
00:28:48And pick up a win over Dragon Lee.
00:28:52And what a match.
00:28:54What a battle.
00:28:55What an effort by Dragon Lee.
00:28:58I'm switching gears now because Tiffany Stratton jumped from the top rope during Elimination Chamber this past Saturday.

00:29:21Huh?
00:29:22Let me lose.
00:29:24You shouldn't be in the chamber.
00:29:26What are you doing?
00:29:27What are you doing?
00:29:29But.
00:29:29No.
00:29:30What are you doing?
00:29:31What are you doing?
00:29:33What is last week?
00:29:35What are you doing?
00:29:35You said.
00:29:36You said, huh?
00:29:37I did good.

00:29:40I did good.
00:29:42I did good?
00:29:59Hey, girl, you good?
00:30:03Just blink twice if you need any help or-

00:30:58Earlier today, The Undertaker broke the news to Demolition that they'll join Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles in the class
00:31:05of 2026.
00:31:06Demolition will also make their long-awaited debut in the WWE 2K franchise and WWE 2K26 as part of Ringside
00:31:14Pass Season 2 coming in April.
00:31:17Congratulations to Axe and Smash.
00:31:35Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new Women's Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee.
00:31:49Her first championship in 11 years.
00:31:53The brand new Intercontinental Champion and Emotional Night in her adopted hometown of Chicago this past Saturday.
00:32:01Meanwhile, the ex-champ, Becky Lynch, had an absolute meltdown on social media,
00:32:07demanding our general manager suspend the official in that match, Jessica Carr, demanding that this whole match was thrown out.
00:32:15Pierce said no way.
00:32:16Well, unfortunately for AJ Lee, Becky Lynch also filed an appeal with the Illinois State Athletic Commission.
00:32:22This thing is far from over, but kudos to AJ Lee.
00:32:26What an incredible comeback story this has been.
00:32:38I'm not entirely sure how we got here.
00:32:44I know that I came back to WWE purely just to snatch the pretty hair from Becky's big ass head.
00:32:55And somehow I ended up snatching her title.
00:33:03But I gotta be real, I didn't know, I didn't know if I could still go.
00:33:22But that right there, you guys, you guys thought I could still go.
00:33:33You believed in me, you had my back for a decade.
00:33:41You remembered me when some people wished that you would forget.
00:33:48And you made me believe that I could still fight the very best.
00:33:57And that is exactly what Becky is.
00:34:01She's the best of the best, but I beat her.
00:34:08But even though she gave me the fight of my life, and I have the scars to prove it.
00:34:17And I proved to myself that I can still be championship material.
00:34:29I am still exactly who I think I am.
00:34:39But
00:34:40now that Becky Boo Boo is behind me.
00:34:47WrestleMania is ahead of me.
00:34:56But I'm not waiting until then.
00:35:00Uh-uh, no, I'm going to be a fighting champion.
00:35:08Because it has been 12 long years since I last held a title.
00:35:13And I am not going to take this for granted.
00:35:16And I'm not going to waste any time.
00:35:23So, a couple of weeks ago, I kind of mentioned I want to get my hands on
00:35:30some women in that locker room.
00:35:35And now that I have this beautiful thing in my shoulder,
00:35:39I just know they want to get their hands on me.
00:35:45So, ladies, if you think that you are championship material,
00:35:55if you want a shot at your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler, then come at me.
00:36:07Because the next time I stand in this ring, I will be defending the Intercontinental Championship.
00:36:17So, ladies, show me what you got.
00:36:24Well, it stays in the family, just like the World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Lee promises to be a fighting champion
00:36:33defending her brand new Intercontinental title.
00:36:42WrestleMania 42 is presented by Snickers, Snickers satisfies, and by WWE 2K26.
00:36:50Get early access starting this Friday.
00:36:52Grab the King of Kings, Attitude Era, or Monday Night War Editions, and step into the ring.
00:36:56WWE 2K26, the show never stops.
00:37:11I am so excited for your Intercontinental Championship match tonight.
00:37:18Okay, thank you.
00:37:19But just know, when you win that championship, I'm first in line.
00:37:24You know me, right?
00:37:26And you know.
00:37:35How long do you want to keep up this charade?
00:37:40You are a fraud.
00:37:42Charade?
00:37:43Not only am I El Grande Americano, I'm the only El Grande Americano.
00:37:50What is it, Chaparro?
00:37:51That mask doesn't correspond to you, we!
00:37:54You know what?
00:37:56We're gonna see about that anyway.
00:37:58March 14th, Rey de Reyes, Verdad Chaparrito.
00:38:02We don't have to wait.
00:38:03Hey, hey.
00:38:04Huh, hide behind your little amigos, huh?
00:38:08I don't care.
00:38:09I'm gonna go talk to Pierce right now.
00:38:11I don't care which one of you two it is.
00:38:13I'll see uno of you in the ring tonight.
00:38:16Gracias.
00:38:18Parami, Parami.
00:38:20Gracias.
00:38:20He speaks Spanish.
00:38:23Gracias was almost Italian.
00:38:27But he speaks Spanish.
00:38:29I mean, Cole, not necessarily.
00:38:31Saying a word isn't speaking a language.
00:38:35The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:38:40Introducing first, from the Gulf of America, weighing in at 202 pounds, the original El Grande Americano.
00:38:55So we learned the opponent will be Ryo in a match presented by Credit One Bank.
00:39:01The original versus Ryo, next.
00:39:16Hey, WWE World is returning to Las Vegas April 16th to the 20th as the ultimate WrestleMania week destination.
00:39:23And the lineup just got more stacked.
00:39:252026 Hall of Fame inductee Stephanie McMahon will be there.
00:39:29And it's gonna be legendary.
00:39:30Photo and auto opportunities will go on sale this Friday and will go fast.
00:39:35So be sure to get your admission tickets in advance at WWEWorld.com.
00:39:48Hi, Stephanie.
00:39:50I'm sure you have some questions about last week.
00:39:53So I thought I'd take this opportunity to explain myself to you.
00:39:59You tried to embarrass me, belittle me, judge me.
00:40:04You thought you knew everything there was to know about me.
00:40:08But you don't know a thing.
00:40:10You don't know my struggles and you don't know what I had to do to make it to where I
00:40:13am.
00:40:15But one thing you were right about is I am privileged.
00:40:21I am sorry that I got signed to WWE when I was 20 years old and you got rejected your
00:40:26first tryout.
00:40:28I'm sorry that I had the best of the best while you grew up in a mud hut wrestling and
00:40:33flea infested rings for 10 years.
00:40:36And do you know why all that happens to me?
00:40:41Because I am a star.
00:40:44And I don't dwell on my past like your past seems to be the only thing that you know how
00:40:49to talk about.
00:40:51But even despite everything that's happened so far,
00:40:56I see a little bit of myself in you.
00:40:59You're talented.
00:41:01You work hard.
00:41:03You are a great champion.
00:41:07So I'm going to do something for you.
00:41:10At WrestleMania, I'm going to give you the privilege of your life.
00:41:16You get to step in the ring with the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time.
00:41:22You get to step in the ring with the inaugural Crown Jewel champion, six-time champion, money in the bank
00:41:29winner.
00:41:30You get to step in the ring with the Liv Morgan.
00:41:37And you'll learn everything you need to know about me.
00:41:45Watcher at WrestleMania, Liv and Stephanie for the women's world title.
00:41:50Meanwhile, the original El Grande Americano takes on Ryo Americano tonight in a one-on-one matchup.
00:41:57And I think the debate should be over of who the real El Grande Americano is.
00:42:01The fact that the man in the ring is wearing red, white, and blue,
00:42:04and the imposter outside is wearing black and gold.
00:42:06So all it takes to prove that he is the real Americano is that he wears red, white, and blue.
00:42:11That's all it takes for you.
00:42:12You're sold.
00:42:12Americano, American?
00:42:14Americano is also a type of coffee, Michael Cole, okay?
00:42:17You're just wasting your time right now.
00:42:19Okay, Barista Graves.
00:42:21And look at this now, nice takedown by the original.
00:42:26You have to admit, though, the original El Grande Americano has been a thorn in the side
00:42:31of El Grande Americano and his buddies, Ryo and Bravo, over the past few weeks.
00:42:35No doubt about it, particularly in Triple-A, south of the border.
00:42:38So tell me about the Rey de Reyes tournament and how they play into this.
00:42:41So there have been a series of qualifying matches leading to a fatal four-way at the
00:42:45Rey de Reyes event.
00:42:46The winner wins a sacred sword and becomes the number one contender to the Triple-A
00:42:51Mega Championship.
00:42:52It's one of the most coveted prizes in all of Lucha.
00:42:55And we're seeing La Maestra Cradle applied expertly by the original El Grande Americano.
00:43:00The voice of Triple-A, to my right, Corey Graves.
00:43:02So both the El Grandes are involved in it.
00:43:05Correct.
00:43:06This past Saturday on WWE's official YouTube page, El Grande Americano in front of us right
00:43:13now in the black and gold, also qualified.
00:43:19Bravo, Americano just vowed to show the original some real Mexican culture.
00:43:25Oh, there it is.
00:43:26Look at those hips.
00:43:26They don't lie, Michael Cole.
00:43:29And knocking him off the apron and Ryo taking advantage.
00:43:34Anyway, the original El Grande Americano qualified for the Rey de Reyes final by handcuffing
00:43:41this Americano in the locker room backstage.
00:43:44Took his opportunity away from him.
00:43:46Smart.
00:43:48Cerebral.
00:43:51Criminal, perhaps?
00:43:53Dishonest?
00:43:54Depends how you look at it.
00:43:56And what a chop!
00:43:59Well, regardless, this past Saturday, El Grande Americano, the elegant gentleman,
00:44:04several feet in front of us, managed to qualify for the final as well.
00:44:09He'll have his chance to get his hands on the original El Grande Americano.
00:44:13A nice hip toss.
00:44:14Let me tell you, Michael Cole, when El Grande Americano was victorious Saturday night,
00:44:21I thought the roof was gonna blow off of the arena in Monterey.
00:44:24There's the cannonball by the original.
00:44:31What is Bravo doing?
00:44:34Well, that's how you dance.
00:44:35Obviously, the original El Grande Americano has a great eye for culture.
00:44:39He picked that dance move right up.
00:44:45The good news is, the original doesn't speak Spanish, Cole.
00:44:48So he doesn't understand a word the other Americano is saying.
00:44:51That's your takeout.
00:44:52That distraction allows Ryo to take over.
00:44:56Don't believe me.
00:44:57Bang!
00:44:58Believe Pimpinella Escarlada.
00:45:01Legendary Exotico.
00:45:03Someone's gonna get exposed one of these days, Cole.
00:45:09Well, this match has turned into a three-on-one affair.
00:45:12It's Ryo and original El Grande Americano.
00:45:15But El Grande Americano and Bravo outside the ring have been getting involved.
00:45:18Well, Michael Cole's gonna sit here and spew conspiracy theories through your
00:45:21television screen, while the reality is only Ryo Americano is physically engaged
00:45:25with the original El Grande Americano.
00:45:27During the break, Bravo smacked him in the face.
00:45:30And look at this.
00:45:31Oh!
00:45:32Must have been consulting by Rosetta Stone.
00:45:33Nice belly-to-belly throw.
00:45:36And the original El Grande Americano ducks underneath.
00:45:39Nice takedown side Russian leg sweep.
00:45:44And the original!
00:45:47This is an international incident.
00:45:49We've got an American luchador utilizing a Russian leg sweep and then a Japanese
00:45:53legends kick.
00:45:54Look at that!
00:46:00And El Grande upset outside the ring.
00:46:06The original one up to the top rope.
00:46:10Boom solved!
00:46:12I put the foot up, it got caught!
00:46:14Yeah, picked up into an ankle lock now.
00:46:16An ankle lock by the original.
00:46:18And sent through the ropes out to the apron.
00:46:23Big right hand by Americano.
00:46:27Wow!
00:46:28Did you hear that?
00:46:29That was Gunther-esque.
00:46:32Overhand, Piero Tazzo.
00:46:33Now, the original.
00:46:35Wow, great athleticism by Ryo.
00:46:38Meteora in the bottom turnbuckle.
00:46:40That's my call.
00:46:41I'm the voice of Triple A, Cole.
00:46:44And there you see Bravo and El Grande looking on.
00:46:47Ryo trying to go to the top rope.
00:46:49The original.
00:46:50Uh-oh.
00:46:50Rodney going to meet him.
00:46:51There!
00:46:53Crawl into a cover.
00:46:56And a kick out at two by Ryo.
00:47:00Take another look at this.
00:47:02Launched from the top turnbuckle is Ryo Americano, courtesy of the OG Americano.
00:47:09Could be anyone's ball game at this juncture.
00:47:13Again, a reminder everyone, the main event at WrestleMania is
00:47:16Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
00:47:19Both those men are live in the building tonight.
00:47:22And we talked about this a little bit ago.
00:47:24It's official.
00:47:25Jimmy Uso and Austin Theory coming up one-on-one.
00:47:28Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:47:29The original looking to unmask Ryo Americano.
00:47:33Unlike Gunther earlier tonight, the OG definitely means lucha disrespect.
00:47:37And now trying to rip the mask off Bravo.
00:47:40Ryo runs into a back elbow.
00:47:43Now, El.
00:47:44Headbutt, and another.
00:47:47The official didn't see any of this breakdown.
00:47:50Now heading up to the top rope is Ryo.
00:47:54Ryo gonna fly with a headbutt.
00:47:57That's gotta do it.
00:47:58Cover, and a kick out by the original.
00:48:05Look of shock on the face of El Grande Americano as we look once again at the
00:48:10beautiful diving headbutt delivered by Ryo Americano.
00:48:17And now Ryo, I believe, signaling he is going to expose the original as the fraud in front of the
00:48:23entire world.
00:48:25This could be a watershed moment here.
00:48:28Uh-oh, the official down, Ryo down again.
00:48:32El Grande Americano trying to get involved.
00:48:34No, no, no, no.
00:48:35There comes Bravo.
00:48:37That's saving.
00:48:38El Grande.
00:48:39Now a roll up by Ryo.
00:48:41Shoulders are down.
00:48:43Kick out.
00:48:45That old baby Dracula better get out of the way.
00:48:47That's the second time he almost interfered in the matchup.
00:48:49The referee, I mean, look at this.
00:48:51Little chaotic suplex cover.
00:48:54Got him.
00:48:59Here is your winner, the original El Grande Americano.
00:49:12As it tends to in the world of Lucha, chaos would ensue in the closing moments.
00:49:17Incidental contact, Ryo dropping Bravo from the apron.
00:49:21And a beautiful, chaotic, German suplex from the original.
00:49:27Here is your winner.
00:49:30Get out there.
00:49:31El Grande Americano extremely upset, but the O.J. got the win tonight.
00:49:40You know, 47 days away from WrestleMania 42, the two-night extravaganza.
00:49:45Live from Las Vegas, six weeks from Saturday, April 19th.
00:49:49And then April, I should say April 18th and then April 19th.
00:49:52Starting at 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific.
00:49:54On Saturday night one, the first hour will be live on ESPN 2.
00:50:00With the night two's first hour live on ESPN.
00:50:04Full coverage on both nights on the ESPN app with ESPN unlimited.
00:50:08WrestleMania for the first time ever on ESPN.
00:50:16Dominic Mysterio.
00:50:31Dominic Mysterio.
00:50:34Nothing and no one will save you because tonight is only you and me in the ring.
00:50:40And tonight, Penta will make history because tonight I become a new Intercontinental Champion.
00:51:03What an opportunity for Penta coming up tonight when he takes on Dirty Dominic Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship live
00:51:13on Netflix.
00:51:25You should not be disappointed because you look like a champion at Chamber.
00:51:28I'm not, I'm not.
00:51:30Hey, maybe that's how you get to Mania.
00:51:32What if you challenge AJ Lee for the IC title and you go into Mania as champion?
00:51:36It's actually not a bad idea.
00:51:38Why not?
00:51:38Can we make that happen?
00:51:39Why you were?
00:51:40Because I want, I want to make sure you guys are out there.
00:51:42We're gonna be there.
00:51:43Don't be stressing.
00:51:43I'm not stressing.
00:51:44It's okay.
00:51:45All right.
00:51:45I believe you.
00:51:46What's going on?
00:51:47Hey boys.
00:51:48How you after Chamber?
00:51:49Well, I'm not happy with the result, but I'm at peace with how it went down.
00:51:55That's great.
00:51:56Well, now that you're over losing to Punk, we can focus on my title defense tonight.
00:52:00So what?
00:52:01Can I count on you guys to be there for me?
00:52:03Of course you can, dude.
00:52:04All right, cool.
00:52:04I thought we spoke about this.
00:52:05This is something you need to do by yourself.
00:52:09That's, that's not what I meant.
00:52:10I meant like, are you guys going to be out there to celebrate with me after I win as a
00:52:14family?
00:52:15Of course, we are a family and we're going to be there.
00:52:17All right.
00:52:18Right?
00:52:21Boys, you know you can count on me.
00:52:22I'll be out there to watch you win though.
00:52:25Family.
00:52:25Hey guys.
00:52:29Everything I've been through, man, it's, I don't, it's happened for a reason.
00:52:33Like it shaped me to, to help me get to this point and even things before this point, because
00:52:39I've, there's, there were times where I didn't think I was going to get there.
00:52:43You tell someone you've been shot, they're like, oh really?
00:52:46You can see it.
00:52:47You've been stabbed.
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:49You know, you've seen people get shot and you've seen real intent to end your life.
00:52:55There's were times where I'm, I'm with my uncle Boogie, who, who's my best friend.
00:53:02And people tell us, hey, you need to walk that way.
00:53:05Don't come this way.
00:53:07Because some things are about to pop off.
00:53:10What a story.
00:53:12Royce Keys, uh, it's part of Stephanie McMahon's podcast.
00:53:15What's your story?
00:53:16Later in the week, Stephanie will have New York Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson joining her
00:53:21on the show.
00:53:22Undertaker Michael Hayes this week.
00:53:24Cody, very interesting conversation with Gunther, all part of the WWE podcast network.
00:53:32Highlight of the night is presented by Planet Fitness.
00:53:47Last Friday night on SmackDown, the A-lister, The Miz, would have an encounter with the ruler.
00:53:53And you can ask Miz, he will surely tell you that Oba Femi is who he says he is.
00:54:01A fall from grace for The Miz and the dominance of Oba Femi is just beginning in WWE.
00:54:10And he's still a free agent.
00:54:11All right, that's enough of this, that's enough of this, that's enough of this, move out of the way.
00:54:22I am tired of listening about Oba.
00:54:32No Oba, no Oba, I am tired of waiting, and I am here, and I know you're back there Oba.
00:54:39I know you can't hear me, so hear this, you won this fight, I won this fight.
00:54:46So how about us fighting right now?
00:54:52Rusev challenging Oba?
00:54:56The Lion of Bulgaria, Rusev, calls out the Nigerian ruler, Oba Femi.
00:55:07And I am not moving away from this table until you show up.
00:55:12And you can go ahead and ask your daddy Adam Pearce if that's okay or not.
00:55:19Be careful what you wish for, Rusev.
00:55:23Yeah, Oba didn't need to ask the general manager or anything.
00:55:27Well, remember, Corey, what happened last week?
00:55:30Rusev was in a conversation with the general manager when Oba showed up,
00:55:34and Pierce went to talk to Oba, and Rusev got offended that it appeared
00:55:38that Pierce was more interested in Femi than Rusev.
00:55:42Well, I can understand Rusev's frustration, but to be fair,
00:55:45who's going to do something about it other than Rusev?
00:55:49Who's going to stop the ruler?
00:55:51Who's going to step up to Oba Femi?
00:56:07Rusev has not taken his eyes off the 6'6", 310 pound Oba Femi.
00:56:17There is no fear in the eyes of the Lion of Bulgaria,
00:56:21nor is there any in the ruler.
00:56:24Two big bulls staring eye to eye.
00:56:49You spent all this time talking.
00:56:53You spent all this time talking.
00:56:54Why don't you come in here and make something happen?
00:57:00You asked for it, Rusev.
00:57:04Well, here we go.
00:57:06Oh, baby.
00:57:06Oh, this is going to be a collision.
00:57:09Two powerhouses, two super heavyweights.
00:57:14The ruler standing in the center of the ring.
00:57:17Rusev about to meet him.
00:57:19This could be colossal.
00:57:27And Rusev and Femi now exchanging blows.
00:57:30Big haymakers.
00:57:32Weapons grade right hands from both men.
00:57:35And now Femi trying to get the upper hand.
00:57:37That body shot stunned Rusev.
00:57:42But Femi taking control.
00:57:47Went for a choke slam and Rusev able to deliver a kick and caught Femi.
00:57:51And another one by Rusev.
00:57:53No, the ruler is rocked.
00:57:59Was rocked.
00:58:06And Femi sends Rusev out of the ring.
00:58:14Oh, Rusev's gotta be embarrassed after what happened here tonight at the hands of that man.
00:58:21Oh, but Femi.
00:58:22Embarrassed, perhaps.
00:58:23Finished, absolutely not.
00:58:25Look at the height.
00:58:27And above all the impact.
00:58:29As the ruler nearly puts Rusev through the middle of the ring.
00:58:33I got a feeling these two aren't done with each other just yet.
00:58:37The Pope powerhouse.
00:58:40Obafemi.
00:58:44We both lost our qualifying matches.
00:58:47We didn't make it to chamber.
00:58:48It's WrestleMania season.
00:58:50And I feel like, I personally feel stuck.
00:58:52I don't know if you have any plans or ideas.
00:58:54Or if you think that.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:58:56What are you thinking?
00:58:56Tell me.
00:58:57I know we're having no luck lately.
00:58:59All I know is I can't sit back and watch you miss WrestleMania again.
00:59:02One way or another.
00:59:03You have to get there.
00:59:05And AJ Lee is the new women's intercontinental champion.
00:59:08And she's out there looking for challengers.
00:59:10So why can't that be you?
00:59:13Me?
00:59:15Why not, dude?
00:59:16I've watched half the women's division line up outside Pierce's office today
00:59:19to try to be our first challenger.
00:59:21Why can't it be you?
00:59:22That could be your ticket to WrestleMania.
00:59:24Hell yeah, dude.
00:59:25You're right.
00:59:27Thank you so much.
00:59:28I appreciate it.
00:59:29No, no, no.
00:59:29Just go get your shot.
00:59:30Go and talk to Pierce, okay?
00:59:31Go.
00:59:32Come on.
00:59:33Wait, wait, wait.
00:59:35I do remember that I cost you a title match against Becky.
00:59:40So maybe, maybe you should come with me.
00:59:43You know, maybe we should both go.
00:59:46You mean it?
00:59:47Yes, I mean it.
00:59:49Let's go.
00:59:50Let's go.
00:59:51Let's do it.
00:59:51Yeah, here it is.
00:59:52Here it is.
00:59:52So should we knock or ring the doorbell?
00:59:54Yeah, I think so.
00:59:54We gotta be.
01:00:01Go, go, go.
01:00:05Scrap daddy.
01:00:06Adam, we gotta talk.
01:00:09AJ Lee has some issues already.
01:00:11Well, ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw, live tonight from Indianapolis, Indiana on Netflix,
01:00:16is presented by DoorDash.
01:00:20Well, we're live from Indianapolis, Indiana.
01:00:24Now you see Jeff Teague, Malcolm Chandler, Brandon Hendricks, and Darrell Wills.
01:00:29The Club 520 podcast in the house, front row.
01:00:33And he is the defensive lineman for the college football national champion, Indiana Hoosiers,
01:00:39Tyreek Tucker in the house, having a good time with us at Monday Night Raw.
01:00:46Yeah!
01:00:47So awesome!
01:00:49I was born a king, I was born a king, I was born a king, I was born a king.
01:00:56They talk to family first, I'm the man in the band, I'm the man in the band, I'm the man
01:01:01in the band.
01:01:02The following contest is Skiddle 4-1 ball.
01:01:07Introducing Chris from San Francisco, California, weighing in for 251 pounds,
01:01:14one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Jimmy Uso!
01:01:24Jimmy with retribution on his mind, takes on the vision, is Austin Theory, live next.
01:01:39You know, the show never stops in WWE 2K26, and this week, 2K revealed details of this year's
01:01:47showcase mode, centered on CM Punk's career.
01:01:50Spanning multiple decades of WWE history, you can relive CM Punk's rivalries, and explore
01:01:55a world where Punk never left, including fantasy historical scenarios.
01:01:59Pre-order WWE 2K26 today, early access starts this Friday.
01:02:07Austin Theory, the man who says, I don't stop, I don't fold, I don't forget.
01:02:15Well, Jimmy Uso hasn't forgotten, Corey.
01:02:17He's blaming Theory and the vision for attacking his brother, Jay, this past Friday on SmackDown.
01:02:21Unfortunately for Austin Theory, Jimmy Uso is in quite a mood whether the vision are guilty or not.
01:02:28To me, this is an opportunity for Austin Theory to show the world that he is reborn.
01:02:33He is a different superstar.
01:02:35He is the pressure.
01:02:37He won't fold, and he can try to get the vision back on track as a unit
01:02:42after what happened to Paul Heyman to kick off Raw.
01:02:44Yeah, there's no Paul Heyman out here, because Seth Rollins, after a number of footed masked men
01:02:51who played decoys for Seth, Seth would deliver a chair to the back of Paul Heyman,
01:02:56followed up by a stomp as Jimmy Uso now takes the fight to Austin Theory.
01:03:02We had mentioned deja vu earlier with that chair shot from Rollins.
01:03:06It was in this building 12 years ago in Indianapolis, the night that Rollins
01:03:10delivered a similar chair to the back of the shield, breaking up the entire group.
01:03:16A big boot to the face of Jimmy Uso, and Jimmy now!
01:03:21One half of the tag team champions with his brother, Jay.
01:03:24It's last year at WrestleMania that the former wise man betrayed Roman.
01:03:29This whole thing has been brewing for quite some time.
01:03:32Well, not just Roman, he betrayed CM Punk as well.
01:03:35And Seth Rollins aligning himself with Paul Heyman, and one of the biggest shockers we've
01:03:40ever experienced.
01:03:41Remember Austin Theory himself, no stranger to Seth Rollins.
01:03:44Once upon a time, something of a disciple to Seth.
01:03:47That is pressure!
01:03:49And you see the intensity of Austin Theory.
01:03:53Austin Theory joined the vision, bang!
01:03:55Once again, as he uncorks a hellacious left hand.
01:03:59Theory has said on multiple occasions, he's a different man, he's a changed man.
01:04:03Yeah, he talks about his past career and his past life there and says he almost lost it all.
01:04:08He realized when he was out with injury for a number of months that he had to change.
01:04:13And what a way to change by joining forces with Heyman and company.
01:04:16And you got Rollins who was out.
01:04:18You lose Braun Breaker.
01:04:19Last week you lose Bronson Reed.
01:04:21The opportunity is right for Austin Theory to make some big things happen in his career.
01:04:27And Jimmy now driving Austin right into our announce table.
01:04:31And Theory could step into something of a leadership role in the vision alongside Logan Paul.
01:04:40Jimmy just taking the fight.
01:04:42Anger in the face of Jimmy Uso.
01:04:45Big super kick by Big Jim.
01:04:50Trying to make Austin Theory answer for the sins.
01:04:54I don't think he's done yet, Corey.
01:04:56I think you're right.
01:04:58Jimmy Uso wiping out our announce table.
