00:00...in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, April 18th and Sunday, April 19th.
00:04Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:0631.6% off tickets today only.
00:11What was Liv trying to do there?
00:13I think she was going to interrupt you, but because I'm a professional, I put the brakes on.
00:17Now, Liv, what was it you were attempting to do?
00:20...or fire, or fire, the big stock, do not go.
00:23Liv Morgan talking trash.
00:25Four weeks from Saturday, 33 nights away.
00:28Stephanie Bacare defends the World Championship against the winner of the 2026 Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan.
00:37Liv's confidence right now at an all-time...
00:42...I will not touch them, but I will hold them.
00:45Don't put them on.
00:46I'm not going to put them on. I'm not allowed to touch them, Cole. I'm just holding them.
00:49Liv Morgan looking on as Raquel Rodriguez has really one goal in mind tonight.
00:53That is damage up Stephanie on the road to WrestleMania.
00:56We know Raquel has the physical ability to do that.
00:59Raquel and Bacare have encountered one another several times over the past few months.
01:05Yeah, indeed.
01:06This is the fourth time they've gone one-on-one, Corey, including that spectacular Philly street fight.
01:12And unfortunately, as impressive as Raquel has been, Bacare has had her number.
01:17Look at La Primera out of the way just in time and bulldozed by Raquel Rodriguez.
01:23You know, we talked a lot about this in the Gauntlet match, and Raquel is in a bad mood after
01:27she feels like she was robbed in that match last week.
01:30But nonetheless, talked about Raquel.
01:32She's a world champion one day.
01:34There's no doubt about that.
01:35You'll get no argument from me on that assessment.
01:37But look at Bacare into the pinning combination, rolling through.
01:40And Raquel has got to kick out.
01:42So smooth is the champion Bacare.
01:44Almost effortless.
01:46Oh, wow.
01:47That'll stop the champion in her tracks.
01:49You're not going to get any style points for that.
01:51It just hurts.
01:55She's incredible.
01:57I'm doing my best to not touch these.
01:59Why don't you just...
02:00Ow!
02:01I'll just invite her to join you over here.
02:04Because I don't want to, you know, cramp your style.
02:07I'd like to...
02:08Never mind.
02:10Raquel now looking to twist Bacare's head clean off of her shoulders.
02:14You know, you could put the sunglasses down, by the way.
02:16No, I can't.
02:17Liv asked me.
02:18Actually, she commanded me to not touch the glasses, but hold them, which is exactly what I'm doing.
02:23And I feel like I'm doing rather effective analysis at the same time.
02:27Well, Raquel not effective with the elbow.
02:29Stephanie Bacare turns things around.
02:31Nice leg drop by Bacare.
02:33Cover now on Raquel.
02:35And a kick out.
02:35So if Stephanie beats Raquel tonight with Liv looking on, that can't be good for the psyche of Morgan.
02:40Absolutely.
02:41And that's why Stephanie was so eager to take this matchup.
02:44But it could have been a mistake.
02:45Look at the power of Rodriguez.
02:47Oh, but Stephanie able to slip out of that.
02:49Yeah, Stephanie knows that Liv Morgan is watching her every move right now.
02:53And Stephanie wants to lead by example and say, hey, Liv, I'll see you in Vegas.
02:57This is what you need to be ready for.
02:59Yeah, official Eddie Ringo has his work cut out for him tonight as he saw him admonish Liv Morgan moments
03:03ago.
03:04You see this stare from Bacare.
03:06Oh, to Liv Morgan.
03:09That is ice cold.
03:10It's become so personal between these two.
03:13A lot of being talked about about the paths and the roads.
03:16Oh, my God.
03:17Oh, my God.
03:19This is incredible.
03:20Oh, God.
03:22He's out.
03:35And that's what Raquel's all about, Corey.
03:38Just like that, with one move, completely changes the complexion of the match.
03:42Game-changing power is exactly what we just saw from Raquel.
03:46Her greatest weapon.
03:49And a women's world champion bounced skull first off of our announce table.
04:00Bounced off the announce table again.
04:01At this rate, Stephanie may not make it to Las Vegas.
04:04I mean, Raquel is just having her way with the champion right now, much to the delight of Liv Morgan.
04:10We might not make it there either, Corey, the way this night's going.
04:12Oh, I'm going to make it, Cole.
04:13Don't you worry.
04:15By hook or by crook, I'm not going to miss it.
04:20Now, Rodriguez keeps up the attack, looking to wear down the champion.
04:27Eddie Arengo tied up with Raquel, and look at Liv.
04:30Not technically breaking any rules, but doing her best to get under the skin, inside the head of the champion.
04:38And now Rodriguez again, displaying her power.
04:41Oh, went to deliver a vertical suplex, and Vakere able to slip out.
04:45Yeah, Raquel may have gotten a little overconfident when you're dealing with somebody as technically skilled as Vakere.
04:49Cover looks to pin the champion in a kickout.
04:52You can't often get away with that without it costing you.
04:56Raquel lucked out, and now just driving an elbow into the chest of the champion.
05:02We mentioned earlier tonight, Dirty Dom, not medically cleared to be here.
05:07Raquel Rodriguez, hook of the way, and a kickout.
05:10Finn Balor no longer a part of the judgment day.
05:14He was kicked out last week.
05:17And Finn, the last original member of that group, has lived Morgan.
05:24And what, after listening to her tonight, was it a Morgan power play?
05:28It certainly seems to be the case, but what would bring more power to live Morgan inside the judgment day
05:34than becoming women's world champion at WrestleMania?
05:39And now look at Stephanie firing up.
05:42Tremendous heart and guts, but oh, that clothesline will just stop you in your tracks.
05:46Raquel, cover to pin the champion, and a kickout by Stephanie.
05:56Look at the smile on the face of the 2026 Women's Royal Rumble winner, Lou Morgan on the outside,
06:03just enjoying every moment of the beatdown Raquel's inflicting.
06:32And we're back in San Antonio, sold out tonight.
06:35Raquel Rodriguez looking to damage the Women's World Champion, Stephanie Bacare.
06:4033 nights away from Bacare's class with Lynn Morgan at WrestleMania.
06:44With no quit in the Women's World Champion, Bacare now looking for a sleeper hold,
06:48but Rodriguez just so strong.
06:50It's just been about Rodriguez's power as Lynn Morgan continues to shout at us here at ringside.
06:55And Corey continues to hold Raquel's glasses.
06:58But not touch them.
07:00Looks like you could buy him at the corner gasoline station for a couple of bucks.
07:07And now, oh, hanging Raquel up on the top rope.
07:12Oh, vicious kick by the champion, La Primera from the top.
07:17And Stephanie now cross body.
07:21That kick recoiled live here at ringside.
07:28But there now needs to tap into those reserves deep inside.
07:35The championship rounds, if you will.
07:40Nice block by Stephanie and fighting back now.
07:43Guts and resilience of the champion.
07:48Raquel out of the way just in time.
07:50Now Rodriguez hung up.
07:53Uh-oh, uh-oh.
07:54Dragon screw.
07:57And now you take out the knee, you take out the power.
08:02Smart way to neutralize Raquel.
08:04And here comes La Primera.
08:07Meteora in the bottom turnbuckle.
08:10And Liv again looking on.
08:12And I've noticed the smile has washed away from the face of Liv Morgan.
08:19Hey, you know what tomorrow is on NXT, Cole.
08:22It's Booker T Appreciation Night.
08:24But I guess Raquel's going to continue to be a hater.
08:29Around we go.
08:31Raquel puts the brakes on anyway.
08:33This is terrifying power.
08:35Into a vertical suplex for Raquel Rodriguez.
08:38Face first.
08:39Goes Stephanie McCurr.
08:41Inverted vertical suplex.
08:45And Raquel now on the second turnbuckle.
08:48Nobody home.
08:49Look at that corkscrew splash.
08:50And moving out of the way.
08:52With Stephanie McCurr.
08:54And speaking of Booker T.
08:55Oh, this is why I said it the first time before Raquel took it away.
09:01Devil's kiss.
09:11We appreciate you, Book.
09:13And now Liv Morgan up on the apron.
09:15Talking trash to the champion.
09:18Wondering when she would get involved.
09:20Liv hasn't physically gotten involved yet.
09:22But it turned the tables in the match with a big boot by Raquel.
09:26Well, that's on Booker.
09:27Put the...
09:31Why?
09:32Why?
09:33Great question.
09:34But Io Sky's here.
09:36The genius of the sky making a beeline for Liv Morgan.
09:42Remember, Io and Stephanie have history.
09:45A lot of respect between these two women.
09:50And now Raquel...
09:51Oh, God!
09:52Send Io Sky over the announce table.
09:56This is getting dangerous out here.
09:58Get...
09:59The care now takes down Raquel.
10:06And then the match continues.
10:08We were checking on Io Sky here.
10:10As Liv is dumped into the timekeeper's area.
10:13One, two, three, two...
10:16Well, Booker still has a match in progress with Raquel Rodriguez.
10:21La Primera making the climb.
10:23It's looking like a crime scene out here.
10:25You think Liv's okay?
10:27Stephanie crossbody caught by Raquel.
10:29What about Io?
10:30Oh, what a spinning slam.
10:33Someone should go check on Liv.
10:35Somebody should get out here and help Io.
10:40Look at the power.
10:41Looking for a Tejana bomb.
10:43Stephanie, though, able to slip through.
10:45Roll up on Rodriguez.
10:47Stephanie with the win.
10:50Here is your winner, the Women's World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer.
11:00It was absolutely chaotic, as tends to be the case on Mondays.
11:06But a big-time win on the road to WrestleMania for the Women's World Champion.
11:12Stephanie Vaquer, the chaos on the outside.
11:16Rodriguez bulldozing Io Sky over our announce desk.
11:20And Liv being launched into the timekeeper's corral by La Primera.
11:26And just when it seemed as though Rodriguez had a Tejana bomb on hand.
11:31A fantastic counter into a pitting combination.
11:34For the Dark Angel, the woman who has walked through hell and made it her own.
11:41Liv Morgan prepared for battle in Vegas.
11:47Why every time Liv gets out here, Raquel has issues?
11:52It's happenstance, Cole.
11:53It's just bad luck.
12:01That is the baby I can be looking for.
12:03Amazing? You thought that was amazing?
12:05Which time would she kick down a one thing or the second thing or the third thing?
12:08Because I couldn't get it done.
12:09I couldn't get to WrestleMania.
12:10I couldn't get to WrestleMania.
12:11Shouting at me!
12:13You don't think I want to see you get to WrestleMania, huh?
12:17Well, I do!
12:18More than anything.
12:21And you're going to get there!
12:22You know how I know?
12:24Because I'm going to help you.
12:26And I'm going to.
12:27And we are going to do it together!
12:30And we are going to do it together!
12:30And we are going to do it together!
12:32And we are going to do it together!
12:33Okay, sister?
12:38How dare you two mess up my chance at becoming the Intercontinental Champion!
12:48I would have beaten AJLE tonight if I won last week.
12:57I will never forget that you two cost me the championship.
13:05Ah, sister!
13:06But we are going to be the TAC!
13:08You're going to be the TAC!
13:09You're going to be the TAC!
13:10You're going to be the TAC!
13:11Hey, baby!
13:12You're going to be the TAC!
13:14You're going to be the TAC!
13:14You're going to be the TAC!
13:17You're not ready for us!
13:19You're not ready for us!
13:24Stay away from us!
13:28Kairi!
13:35What did she say there?
13:39They said they're going after the tag titles.
13:46Maybe we should go talk to Pierce.
13:49Maybe we should go talk to Pierce.
13:53Maybe we should go talk to Pierce.
13:54Maybe we should go to WrestleMania, my God!
13:55Well, you know, we are on the road to WrestleMania.
13:57It has been a chaotic night.
13:58Seth Rollins and his hooded figures came out to the ring to start the show.
14:01And Paul Heyman, well, he would unleash the beast Brock Lesnar on his whole crew.
14:05Brock Lesnar would single-handedly annihilate over a dozen men.
14:11A ruthless display of power from Brock Lesnar, who was eventually met by the ruler.
14:19Yeah, we thought it was going to be Brock and Seth going after one another.
14:22But Oba Femi appeared.
14:25And man, oh man, did he make a statement.
14:28I have never seen someone manhandle Brock Lesnar the way that Oba Femi did.
14:38Lesnar took his eye off of Oba for just a fraction of a second.
14:43And was met with a fall from grace.
14:48An absolutely epic powerbomb by the bringer of war to the beast incarnate.
14:57And ladies and gentlemen, we can confirm that it is now official.
15:03Oba Femi pointing to the WrestleMania sign and accepting Brock Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania.
15:11The beast, Brock Lesnar, the ruler, Oba Femi, a collision on the way at WrestleMania.
15:20And speaking of Brock Lesnar, the beast incarnate will be here live from Boston next week on Monday Night Raw.
15:28And Corey, he is going to be in a mood.
15:31No doubt about it. Everyone, watch your back. The beast will be unleashed in Boston.
15:37And as far as Paul Heyman's other charges, Logan, Paul, and Austin Theory of Division, they have their marching orders.
15:45Knock off Jimmy and Jay, the Usos, the World Tag Team Champions, next Monday on Netflix.
16:01Boys, think about last week, think about earlier tonight.
16:04Now, The Vision had your names in their mouth. They had my names in their mouth.
16:09And I'm gonna tell you, I didn't really like the sound of it.
16:11But you know, I know, we all know that we've got business with The Vision going back for a long
16:16time now.
16:16But I can't help but notice, you guys, Roman Reigns getting a little bit cozy.
16:24What's going on with that?
16:26On the real?
16:28It's just family business, folks.
16:31It's all mine's your business, LA.
16:36Biggie, Big Jim, that's a big no.
16:39And I'm gonna tell you why.
16:40Look, you talk about family business.
16:42I can appreciate family business.
16:44I can respect family business.
16:45What I can't respect is if the bloodline of old comes back, I have to tell you this.
16:50I love both of you.
16:51We got this whole thing, me, you, on the same page with The Vision.
16:55But if we talk about the bloodline, we cannot be same page.
17:01Good?
17:08Yeah.
17:10Yeah.
17:21We're good.
17:22Yeah.
17:22I gotta wait.
17:52Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:11Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:41Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:04Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:06Presence, aura, mystique.
19:11mystique, the arrival of one of the all-time greats, an annual main event, Wrestlemania
19:24for a record 11th time this year, and what many are calling one of the great main events
19:31in the history of Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
19:41Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the OTC, Roman Reigns!
19:55Cory, things have gotten personal in a hurry. CM Punk decided to take this rivalry somewhere
20:03it didn't necessarily need to go. Now we know the voice of the voiceless, CM Punk loves the mind games,
20:10he loves to get under his opponent's skin, he loves to get in their head.
20:14That's what CM Punk intended to do by dropping the name of Roman Reigns' late father.
20:20Unfortunately, Punk has got to deal with the consequences and the fallout of his words.
20:27Oh, the question also is, is it possible to get in the head of Roman Reigns?
20:45You mentioned the mystique, the presence, the aura of Roman Reigns. That's like the first layer, that's the shield you
20:52have to get through, you have to get past. CM Punk knows that. So I guess to answer your question,
20:58yes, you can get under the skin of Roman Reigns, but you've got to be very, very careful.
21:03how you do it.
21:061,316 days, the LVN disputed WWE title. Now, he's coming for the World Heavyweight Championship.
21:36The man in the ring, Roman Reigns, as you just saw, will main event his 11th WrestleMania, which is a
21:45record.
21:45And he does it in 33 nights at the two-night extravaganza in Las Vegas.
21:59Many are calling it one of the great all-time WrestleMania main events.
22:04A long time coming. The world champion CM Punk, the challenger Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
22:14the real Madrid ya.
22:162010
22:18The înrima
23:32Oh, yes, sir, San Antonio!
23:45Acknowledge me.
24:08I know they hear that back there.
24:13I know they understand whose show this is.
24:21Because at the end of the day, I'm in the beginning, I'm in the middle, and you already know who
24:29closes the show.
24:30The O.T.C.
24:39And you gotta forgive him.
24:41You gotta forgive him.
24:43And Phil gets a little confused.
24:47He must have forgot that we're in the main event, and this is Monday, and this is his show.
25:02Don't listen to that, Phil.
25:04The water is warm.
25:05Won't you come on out here and let's handle some business, huh?
25:13The water is warm.
25:43Look in my eyes, what can you see?
25:50Come from personality
25:54I know you're anger
25:56I know you're dreams
26:00I get anything you want to be
26:04Oh, I want a personality
26:10Like my soul, I can't be
26:15I want a personality
26:18I want a personality
26:21I want a personality
26:29Look in your eyes
26:34No way I've read
26:36The winner speaks
26:39The reflection lies
26:42You won't have to follow me
26:46Only you can set me free
26:56Interesting psychology at work here for the world champ
27:03Sauntering out to the ring
27:07He knows exactly what the hell he's doing right now
27:22He touched on it earlier Corey the master of the mind games
27:25And then I asked the question can he get under the skin of Roman Reigns
27:35Reigns doesn't seem to be sweating it
27:39But Roman's certainly not thrilled
27:41With what he certainly views as the arrogance of the world heavyweight champion
27:46CM Punk showing up in Roman Reigns' segment at the end of the night
27:53Taking Roman Reigns' time
27:55Taking the attention of San Antonio off of the tribal chief
28:00Oh putting the tribal chief to sleep
28:20He is brash, he is controversial
28:23But the gold around his waist makes it the absolute truth
28:28He is the best in the world
28:46FAIR IN ESTEVES
29:00AND SON
29:01GET OUT!
29:48Yeah, about that.
29:50You keep using my government name like it's supposed to be an insult.
30:00My friends and my family, they're allowed to call me Phil.
30:05I would maybe try to insult you and call you Titty Tiaki or whatever your real name is.
30:15But I don't obsess over you or read your Wikipedia, and I'm certainly not going to call you Joe because
30:20that would be insulting to a real Samoan who I love very, very much.
30:32Well, maybe you should call Joe and he'll remind you on who your tribal chief is.
30:41Did I hear you earlier say you're sending all the Samoans after me?
30:45All of them?
30:46I didn't say I was sending anybody.
30:48I gave them permission to do whatever they got to do.
30:53The only thing they're going to do is high-five me, just like everybody here in San Antonio did.
31:03Pardon me for a second.
31:04I'll show you who's showing us.
31:06Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in San Antonio or what?
31:20Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in San Antonio or what?
31:45I'm a little surprised you haven't taken a swing at me yet.
31:50Talking about the main event of WrestleMania, I already won because I know I'm in your head.
32:14See, I would expect you to think that because as you can hear, I'm on everybody's mind.
32:27All the time.
32:31And you, well, you'll just say anything, won't you?
32:36Like, you got me in the main event, right?
32:42Phil here hasn't main evented anything this year.
32:49I mean, Phil couldn't even main event a live event tour in Europe, let alone the main event of WrestleMania.
33:05Come on, punk.
33:07They're calling for you.
33:09Say something special.
33:11Yeah, they're calling for me now, and I was calling for you last week, but you two chicken show up,
33:16so you sent your cousins.
33:19And, man, I am a gold medal habitual line stepper.
33:25I will say and I will do what I please to get the advantage.
33:30Man, that's why these people love me.
33:32I guess that's why you don't like me.
33:36I didn't want Jimmy and Jay to get caught in the crosshairs, but they came out and they handled their
33:42family business, and you know what?
33:45I deserved what I got last week.
33:49Right message, wrong messenger.
33:54Who's the real tribal chief?
34:04This is what you cheer for?
34:11I've heard this garbage for five years straight.
34:15Which one's the real tribal chief?
34:18I mean, come on with that garbage.
34:21You are trite.
34:23You're redundant.
34:24You repeat the same shit over and over and over.
34:28Oh, he's not here.
34:29He's a part-timer.
34:31Good.
34:32Maybe you should figure out what the top dollar players do.
34:35Why don't you go ask your wife?
34:39So, until you come up with something that can actually phase me, don't waste my time, Phil.
35:03My ring, my belt, my show.
35:06I tell you when you can come and when you can go.
35:10Oh, and young boy, now's not the time.
35:22I can see it.
35:24I can feel it.
35:25I'm in your head, and I'm under your skin.
35:28And go ahead, take a look at that sign.
35:31It's the last time you're going to main event.
35:33I'm going to pin you.
35:35I'm going to lift you up onto my shoulders with all my punkamaniacs screaming, CM Punk!
35:42CM Punk!
35:44And I'm going to hoist you above my beautiful head of hair.
35:48And I'm going to send you back down to earth, crashing into my knee.
35:53And I'm going to split your ego in two and beat you on the grandest stage of them all.
35:59I'm going to do it.
36:28I'm going to do it here because there's just so much rich history to tap into, but enough is enough.
36:34You're delusional.
36:36We all know you're great on this microphone.
36:39We all know that you're great with the mental games, but you can't phase me.
36:44I'm the most successful superstar you've ever ran into.
36:48I am your tribal chief.
36:50I've done everything under the sun in this business.
36:53And when the talking is done, we all know that you can't do the walking.
36:59Because at the end of the day, this is the truth here, Phil.
37:04You're not faster than me.
37:05You're not stronger than me.
37:09You can't do anything that I do in this ring.
37:12You're not better looking than me.
37:13You're nothing to me.
37:14This, you, that title on your waist, it's an embarrassment.
37:19You're a try-hard that's making us all look terrible.
37:23Because at the end of the day, you're old.
37:28Oh!
37:29Oh!
37:35Oh!
37:44Come on, man.
37:45Come on, man, girls.
37:52Come on, man, girls.
38:49That's the king in the middle game.
