00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:33Okay, did I go to Drew McIntyre's home?
00:36Did a member of law enforcement get thrown into the water?
00:40Did things get physical?
00:41Yes.
00:54That little yard brawl was one-tenth of what should happen
00:59right here, right now, with me and Drew McIntyre in this very ring.
01:06Cody, I don't think you appreciate the situation you've got yourself into.
01:12And to make things worse, I had to make a bad deal.
01:15If I come back, I get my WWE Championship match with Cody Woods.
01:19But I want to pick the stipulation.
01:22I can live with that.
01:22Okay.
01:23Pleasure doing business with you, buddy.
01:26Yes, you're the champ, but you're not above the law.
01:30When Drew comes back, if he pays the fine and makes that public apology to Dan Engler,
01:38Cody, you can't lay a finger on Drew McIntyre.
01:43McIntyre.
01:44Or what?
01:47Or I have to strip you of the WWE Championship.
01:54Merry Christmas, asshole.
01:57You're out of control.
01:59You're not good for that championship.
02:01You're not fit for the job, but I am.
02:04I feel like you've forgotten who you're talking to.
02:08And here you are saying that I'm not above the law as long as I have this title.
02:13I am the law.
02:18Mr. Aldis, my friend, your demand, his demand.
02:23Remember one thing while I am holding this.
02:26I don't work for you.
02:28I work for them.
02:32And you, my friend, you work for me.
02:47The heated rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
02:53And this week in WWE was certainly no exception.
02:56Welcome on in, everyone, to a fun and fresh new episode.
02:59I'm Megan Morant.
03:00And if there's one thing about Drew McIntyre, it's that he can get under a person's skin.
03:05Specifically, the undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
03:09With Drew having already begun to fulfill his terms by signing the contract,
03:14Nick Aldis was quick to remind Cody that he couldn't lay his hands on McIntyre
03:19once Drew apologized to WWE official Dan Angler and paid his fine.
03:24Not unless Cody wanted to be stripped of his championship.
03:27The American nightmare grew more and more agitated as the night continued.
03:32But finally, the Scottish warrior held up his end of the bargain, handing the SmackDown general manager a check
03:38and apologizing to Dan Angler.
03:40And while the apology seems sincere at first, well, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
03:47I also apologize that it was obviously your dream to be a wrestler right here in this ring,
03:54doing what I do, former world champion.
03:56But you weren't good enough, so you had to be a referee.
04:01Let me come down to your level.
04:05I apologize that your lovely wife, Melissa, had to watch me claymore you in the face.
04:13And she had to think to herself, I wish I had a husband like Drew
04:17that stood up for his convictions no matter the consequences.
04:21I get why you did it, you had to save yourself, you had to screw me to save yourself, protect
04:26Cody.
04:28But I feel sorry and I apologize for your children.
04:35That they have such a coward, corporate, stooge for a father.
04:41Oh, I'm not finished there.
04:43I could go on all day.
04:44You want to do something?
04:45You want to be a man?
04:46Do you want to hit me?
04:47Do you want to get revenge on me right now?
04:50Go for it, Dan.
04:53Get.
04:59I know why you're so upset.
05:02It's because they attacked you on your tour bus, your home away from home,
05:07where your family sleeps.
05:10But your family weren't there when I attacked you, were they?
05:14But I wish they were there.
05:18I wish your children could see a real man put the boots to you.
05:25I wish your wife, Brandi, could see what a real daddy looks like.
05:33Come on, come on, come on, I know you want to do it.
05:36Do it, strike.
05:42You want to know the stipulation?
05:46You want to know?
05:47Help me!
05:47We're not doing this match in America.
05:49You've screwed me three times here.
05:51We're taking this to Berlin, Germany.
05:56Trying to make my life hell.
05:58I'm obviously in your head making it hell.
06:00How about this?
06:03Drew McIntyre against Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship.
06:09Three stages of hell.
06:16Absolutely, you're done.
06:17You agree?
06:18Yes, I agree.
06:20We're agreed.
06:22There's one more thing.
06:31When I torture you in Berlin,
06:35when I send you straight to hell.
06:43Say hi to your dad for me.
06:46Say hi to your dad for me.
06:51Claymore!
07:05McIntyre knows exactly what he's doing.
07:09Cody Rhodes is handcuffed.
07:12He can't touch Drew McIntyre for another two weeks.
07:34Oh, Lash thinking about ending this one.
07:36Could be looking for the Lash extension.
07:39Charlotte able to muscle her way up and over.
07:41Oh, and it turns into a DDT.
07:42Great counter by Charlotte.
07:46Looking for a cover.
07:49Charlotte Flair, I think, is all out of sorts.
07:51This has been a beatdown, courtesy of Lash Legend.
07:55Charlotte needs to compose herself.
07:57A little disrespect from the Queen.
08:00Megan to climb to the top.
08:04Charlotte, top rope.
08:08Moonsault by Flair.
08:09Here's the cover.
08:11Oh, and Legend just able to kick out.
08:14And, you know, honestly, Cole,
08:15I think Charlotte has to blame herself.
08:17Let's take another look at this.
08:19A picture-perfect moonsault from Flair.
08:21We've seen her do it a million times.
08:23But Charlotte got a little cute on the cover.
08:26She used an unorthodox hook of the leg,
08:28and that may have cost the Queen the win.
08:32And now attacking the base of Lash Legend.
08:37A smart strategy.
08:38I'm a little surprised that Charlotte didn't employ it earlier.
08:42But Flair kicked into the turnbuckle after she took her eye off the ball.
08:47Look out, Nia.
08:48Nia Jax now.
08:49Alexa plays from behind.
08:50Going to make Nia Jax pay.
08:53And Lash Legend.
08:56Looking on.
08:57And Charlotte Flair.
08:58Up and over.
08:59Going to make Lash pay.
09:01Shoulders down again.
09:02Charlotte with the win.
09:06Here is your winner, Charlotte Flair!
09:19Not going to lie, after last week, it was nice to see Lash lose.
09:23Well, as long as we do that to every team every week
09:25and bring the tag team titles back.
09:32Are you guys talking about the tag team titles?
09:35No.
09:38Because you seem very confident.
09:41And I feel like I need to remind you that,
09:44you and I, we have a tag team championship match coming up.
09:48You do?
09:49Yeah.
09:49And once we win, they're going to stay with us.
09:53Okay, I don't think so.
09:54Why don't you count us out?
09:56The kind of bull crap you pulled out there.
09:58What happened to you?
09:59I don't think so.
10:00I don't think so.
10:05Stop!
10:09Hey, come on.
10:10Enough!
10:11Everybody stop!
10:12Enough!
10:15All adults here.
10:16All right.
10:17This chaos has gone far enough.
10:18So here's what we're going to do.
10:20Next week on SmackDown in Buffalo, New York,
10:23you're going to be in an eight-woman tag team match.
10:25So you can all face off before your big tag title match on Raw in Brooklyn.
10:30Maybe that way, you can get this intense dislike for each other out of your system.
10:35It's a little bit more than an intense fall.
10:42After months of betrayals, insults, and bloodthirst
10:46across the women's tag team division,
10:48an opportunity for all hell to break loose
10:50comes on Friday Night SmackDown.
10:53Rio, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair
10:55face off against Nia Jax, Flash Legend,
10:58and the current tag team champions, the Kabuki Warriors,
11:01in an eight-woman tag team match,
11:03certain to turn the ring into a war zone.
11:08Even in the midst of all the chaos,
11:10you can always count on Asuka to find time to gloat.
11:13After defeating Rhea Ripley two weeks ago,
11:16Asuka wanted to make it clear that mommy was no match for her,
11:19and if you thought she stood a chance,
11:21well, then you are just a stupid baby.
11:24Asuka's words, not mine.
11:26The Empress of Tomorrow went on to say
11:27that the outcome of the women's tag team championship match
11:30Monday on Raw will have the same outcome
11:32as their one-on-one match,
11:34but Rhea and Io just couldn't bear another word.
11:42They are the number one contenders for tag goal,
11:46but it looks like ahead of next week's showdown,
11:49we might get a little taste of what's to come.
11:53We've gotten a big taste of poison mist
11:55and insane elbows as the finally early part
11:58of the championship reign of the Kabuki Warriors.
12:01And now, here we go!
12:03We're a week away
12:04from meeting up in Brooklyn,
12:07and Io and Rhea take the ring.
12:10Io moving a lot better than she was last week,
12:13and that's the ball for the Kabuki Warriors.
12:17What a throwdown.
12:18We're getting it ringside here.
12:20The Kabuki Warriors came down to talk trash,
12:23but now they are eating shots
12:26left, right, and center.
12:27Io!
12:29Io's back,
12:30right to the edge of our reinforced announce desk.
12:33Oh, watch your back, Jairi.
12:34Oh, big right hand from Mami.
12:37Right on the jaw.
12:38She checks.
12:40Oh!
12:41Asuka,
12:43right to work.
12:44This is a chance for the Kabuki Warriors
12:46to redo some damage now,
12:48especially to Io,
12:49ahead of that showdown
12:51in seven days' time for the gold.
12:53Make your job that much easier.
12:56Oh, now it's just a beatdown of two-on-one
12:58as they throw Rhea back into the ring.
13:01The Kabuki Warriors
13:02just pummeling,
13:04pummeling Rhea Ripley.
13:06And it tells you what a mistake
13:08by next week's challenges
13:09to head out here
13:10and try and attack the Kabuki Warriors.
13:13Stay wrapped up in cotton wool
13:15until you're up at your...
13:17Oh!
13:17Oh!
13:18Io's back!
13:19Forget the insane elbow!
13:21Here's Io Sky!
13:23Io moving like a bolt of lightning
13:26and this one has turned around
13:27in a hurry.
13:28The Kabuki Warriors
13:29getting smashed in that ring.
13:31She's got RIP time lined up!
13:34Oh, out the back doors,
13:35Kairi Sane,
13:36but a big elbow from Ripley.
13:40Kabuki Warriors,
13:42the reigning tag champs,
13:43looking completely ragged
13:45after that assault by Rhea Ripley
13:47and Io Sky.
13:56From Brooklyn,
13:57the women's tag team championship match,
14:01the Kabuki Warriors
14:02against Ripley and E.O. Skye.
14:08The stage is set for this battle
14:11fueled by resentment and pride
14:13with the Kabuki Warriors striving to prove
14:15that they are two competitors
14:17who are simply untouchable in the ring
14:19by putting an end to Rhea and Io
14:21just as soon as their new tag team is getting started.
14:25But there is no chance Asuka and Kairi's supremacy
14:28will go uncontested
14:30because when it comes to the tag team
14:32titles, Rhea is not backing down.
14:41And Hayes now out to the apron
14:43looking for a DDT but Dragunov caught him.
14:46To still possess this type of power
14:48this deep into a matchup speaks volumes
14:50about the physical condition
14:52of Ilya Dragunov.
14:54What's Dragunov going to do here?
14:55Hayes in desperation
14:57delivering elbows to the jaw.
15:05Both men cruised, battered
15:08but too proud to quit.
15:09Beating the hell out of each other.
15:12Dragunov now.
15:14No!
15:14Out of the apron.
15:17Hayes may be out.
15:23I'm not sure Carmelo Hayes
15:25has any idea where he is.
15:26Dragunov does though.
15:28He's got Hayes in his sights.
15:30Dragunov from the top rope.
15:34First 48!
15:36First 48!
15:38Melo's got a chance!
15:40Melo's got a chance!
15:41He's gonna do it!
15:43Carmelo Hayes
15:45nothing but net!
15:46The cover!
15:47Case closed!
15:51Case closed!
15:53Hayes is a champion!
15:54Here is your winner
15:55and the new
15:57United States champion
16:05Carmelo Hayes!
16:19What a fighting champion
16:22Ilya Dragunov was!
16:24And what a tremendous
16:26show of sportsmanship!
16:33After Ilya Dragunov
16:35let the pain entertain us
16:37for seven intense
16:38United States championship defenses
16:40Carmelo Hayes
16:41was the one to turn
16:42that pain into triumph.
16:43In a match
16:44with both competitors
16:45leaving everything in the ring
16:47Hayes coming out on top
16:48shows beyond a shadow
16:49of a doubt
16:50why he is him.
16:52But Carmelo
16:52isn't the only one
16:54leaving the WWE universe
16:55stunned
16:56as the women's
16:57intercontinental champion
16:58Maxine Dupree's feud
16:59has brought out
17:00a whole new vicious side
17:01of the champ
17:02and a whole new
17:03holier-than-thou side
17:05of the challenger.
17:08Becky choose your next move wisely
17:10because if I get a hold of that
17:12you've got two choices
17:15A
17:15and my personal favorite
17:17I'll break it
17:20or B

29:18The Vision has been
29:19quite busy

29:32The Vision is on

29:36can't be said
29:37for WWE Hall of Famer

31:41attempted
31:41to be sent
31:43to Rey Mysterio
31:44in physical fashion
31:45but for Rey's sake
31:47thank goodness
31:48for the return
31:49of the incredible
31:51PENTA
31:57do you have any sort
31:59of response
32:00to the widespread
32:01belief
32:01that your commentary
32:03and general behavior
32:04has been classified
32:07as disrespectful
32:08since defeating
32:09John Cena
32:10defeating
32:11that's not very
32:12precise
32:13I made John Cena
32:15tap out
32:20the disrespect
32:21gotta stop
32:23you made John Cena
32:24tap out
32:2617 time world champion
32:28grand slam champion
32:29the GOAT
32:30my hero
32:32and a hero
32:33to a lot of other people
32:34but every week
32:36you sang the same old song
32:38it makes you a piece of
32:47he's not a good person
32:49he's the world's greatest
32:51wrestler now
32:52second time
32:53he done done that
32:54there won't be a third
33:08that's supposed
33:09to be a challenge
33:12see you in the ring
33:15I told you mine
33:20Sports Entertainment World
33:21that still aches
33:23over what happened
33:24in John Cena's
33:24final match
33:29nobody hurts more
33:31than R-Truth
33:32and now hurt
33:32literally in the center
33:33of the ring
33:34against
33:35Gunther
33:36who sends him down
33:37with a thudding blow
33:38again
33:39Gunther does what he wants. He walks where he wants, including on our desk.
33:45And he beats whoever he wants.
33:48Gunther owns this entire industry.
33:53Oh, come on.
33:54No, come on, Wade.
33:57It's so unnecessary, Barrett.
34:01Oh, let's go.
34:02Shoulder tackle, R-Truth.
34:04And another.
34:05That might have been a major, major error by...
34:08Oh!
34:10Bounce-back ability from the massive Austrian.
34:21And the vicious powerbomb puts him down.
34:25Shoulders down.
34:26No, we're not done yet.
34:27Come on!
34:28We're not done yet.
34:29This is a message to anybody in the locker room who wants to step to Gunther.
34:35Hammering elbows.
34:36You just have the sense, yes, and that's where it's going.
34:38When the shoulders were down and it could have been over, he's applying the sleeper.
34:43It's a barbarity, and is it time to tap out like a bee?
34:53Here is your winner, by submission, the ring general, Gunther!
35:06Gunther absolutely pummeling R-Truth, once again asserting his dominance in a way that absolutely infuriates the crowd.
35:14While the ring general revels in being a Grinch over the blue brand, it's Joe Hendry who is still trying
35:21to bring us all a little holiday cheer.
35:23But Hendry's new rendition of an old favorite wasn't enough to make everyone believe.
35:30Jingle bells, jingle bells, Miz has tiny balls.
35:35He'd rather be in Hollywood, but they won't return his calls.
35:41Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, Miz has tiny balls.
35:48Do you know what this means?
35:50When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut.
35:56You think some cheap jingle's gonna turn me into the joke?
35:59I've spent 20 years outlasting people that laughed at me harder than you sing.
36:05I've earned the right to be the locker room leader and take this company to the future.
36:13The jokes stop now.
36:16Clear this ring, clear this stuff.
36:18Me and you have a match right here, right now.
36:23Oh, whoa, Miz, Miz, over here.
36:26Just one little thing I forgot to mention.
36:28Your match, it is now a Miracle on 34th Street fight.
36:36All right, the holiday tradition is back.
36:39That's it.
36:39Cancel Christmas.
36:40Anything goes.
36:41I don't need what to say anymore.
36:58Uh-oh.
37:00Miz gonna go for a ride again.
37:04Beautiful.
37:09Oh, yeah.
37:10Can you see it?
37:12What would you call this in the Christmas spirit?
37:18We paused the worm.
37:19Oh.
37:20Well, he's trying to cookie break.
37:21Well, he carved up.
37:22And now Tozawa.
37:26You know, reindeer fly, but.
37:31I guess elves do as well.
37:35Of course they do, Cole.
37:36How do you think they get to and from the North Pole?
37:38Miz just threw up the cookies.
37:44Of course.
37:45Of course it's truth.
37:46Of course it's truth in the bunny outfit.
38:03I'm having flashbacks to the Rosebuts, Michael Cole.
38:06Oh, the guitar just smashed through the Miz.
38:12And a standing ovation coming.
38:15Henry puts Miz through the table.
38:18One, two, three.
38:20Embarrasses Miz again.
38:24Here is your winner, Joe Henry.
38:30I believe in the magic of Christmas.
38:33I believe in Joe Henry.
38:37I believe in Joe Henry.
38:45Oh, yeah.
38:47Oh, yeah.
38:48Are you ready to get back our Tag Team Championships tonight?
38:53I'm ready, Uzz.
38:54I'm ready.
38:55I'm ready.
38:56Come on, man.
38:57You all right?
38:59I'm good.
38:59I'm ready, Uzz.
39:00Listen, man.
39:02You my brother.
39:03When something ain't right, I feel it.
39:05I need you locked in, bro.
39:07I need you by me tonight.
39:08You all right?
39:12Man, let me be 100 with you.
39:15Man, I feel like ain't nothing been going right my way, man.
39:20Everywhere I turn to.
39:23It's one thing for me to put me in a bad spot.
39:27It's another thing for me to put my brother in a bad spot, too, man.
39:31And I ain't trying to do that to you tonight.
39:32Man, the only bad spot is in your head, brother.
39:36I've been telling you.
39:38I need you, bro.
39:39You it.
39:41You a world champion, all right?
39:43The Jey Uso I know, eight-time tag team champion.
39:47Longest-reigning tag team champion, brother.
39:50You him.
39:51The Jey Uso I know, just like me, got everybody around the world, got everybody in that arena,
39:58ready to yell, one word, four letters, I need you.
40:08You all right?
40:13Yeah.
40:16Together.
40:18Let's get at you.
40:19I love you.
40:21Back at you.
40:24Jimmy did his best to hype up his twin, but whether the brothers were on the same page
40:29remained to be seen.
40:30For the Usos, there was only one way to prove they are back on top, by becoming nine-time
40:35tag team champions.
40:36But the brothers haven't seen the top of the mountain for a while, two years and nine
40:41months to be exact.
40:42And the men who were at the top of that mountain going into the world tag team title match last
40:47Monday, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, they've proven that they're fighting champions and
40:52they wouldn't go down easy.
40:53So if the Usos wanted to reclaim their former glory, they were going to have to pull out
40:58all the stops.
41:07You can see Big Jim reaching for his ribs there as he comes over.
41:11You saw the drop in the spirits of Jey Uso.
41:15Have our powers waning.
41:16He got a little pep talk in the corner there on that tag from Brother Jimmy.
41:20And it took a beat too long, because back in the fight now is Dragon Lee.
41:26You can see that was exactly where the Usos were looking for that double splash, perhaps.
41:31But things have changed in a big way since Dragon Lee.
41:34Dragon Lee's rubbing it out.
41:35Oh my!
41:37He just launched himself all the way over our desk and took out Big Jim.
41:44An absolute kamikaze dive there from Dragon Lee, who may have maimed himself in the process.
41:50Big Jim looks absolutely wasted here on our announce desk.
41:56Oh, there's a roll of the talent.
41:57Look at this!
41:58Turbots hit!
41:59Jey survives it.
42:00Did you see the distance that was covered by Lee?
42:03Meanwhile, back in the center of the ring!
42:05Back and forth they go!
42:07Styles and main event Jey!
42:11Oh, Styles clash being lined up!
42:13And he hits it!
42:14He hits it!
42:15He hits it!
42:16One, two, three, four!
42:18Jey survives!
42:19Jey survives!
42:21This is outrageous!
42:22Whoa!
42:24Both teams, and Noah Lyles is losing his mind at ringside too, but both teams dropping the heaviest of artillery.
42:32Absolute psycho behavior though from Dragon Lee.
42:35Devastating effectiveness.
42:38But this is the moment.
42:40Surely, the champs were going to retain.
42:43Jey Musso dig about as deep as he's ever digged in his career to kick out wide.
42:49Styles is in disbelief.
42:51In absolute disbelief.
42:53The Pele kick, the Styles clash, and still they fight on in front of this massive crowd for the World
43:01Tag Team Championship.
43:03Both teams have had their moments of despair in this one, but from despair to where, the answer for the
43:10tag champs is perhaps incoming now.
43:14And with Big Jim down and out, Jey Musso left.
43:19They're looking for this, wow!
43:21The combo!
43:22Stomp, Styles clash!
43:25Oh!
43:26But Big Jim's back!
43:27The eight-time world champion Usos have no quid in them.
43:33Oh!
43:34It was beaten to the plunge there once again by AJ Styles, who now has the momentum.
43:40Phenomenal forearm is in...
43:47Stereo superkick!
43:51They want it!
43:52They get it!
43:55The Usos!
43:57One, two, three!
43:59They did it!
44:00Number nine is Mighty Five!
44:03Here are your winners and new World Tag Team Champions!
44:15The Usos!
44:182025 goes out with a one-day championship bang on top of the world again, Barrett!
44:31Oh, God, what a match!
44:33The final five minutes of that one swung all over the place, but the statistically greatest tag team in history
44:43just got statistically even greater with number nine.
44:48Welcome back to the mountaintop, a place the Usos call home.
44:53And that moment right there, considering what we heard earlier tonight, Big Jim lifting up and bringing out the best
45:01from one of the best, his brother Jay.
45:06Look at this scene to close out the year on Raw!
45:13Jimmy and Jay will be ringing in 2026, adorned in gold as World Tag Team Champions.

45:23While we all yeet our way into the new year, this week carries several golden opportunities of its own.
45:29Io Sky and Rhea Ripley make their best attempt at dethroning the reigning women's tag team champions, the Kabuki Warriors,
45:35while Becky Lynch looks to do the same to Maxine Dupree and her intercontinental title.
45:40That is, if Jessica Carr stays out of the man's way.
45:44And in his biggest title defense to date, CM Punk puts the World Heavyweight Championship up against Braun Breaker.
45:51Who kicks off 2026 with some new hardware?
45:54We're going to find out Monday night.
45:56A Raw I surely won't be missing out on.
