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 across the women's tag team division,
10:48an opportunity for all hell to break loose comes on Friday Night SmackDown.
10:53Rio, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair face off against Nia Jax, slash legend,
10:58and the current tag team champions, the Kabuki Warriors, in 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, you can always count on Asuka to find time to gloat.
11:13After defeating Rhea Ripley two weeks ago, Asuka wanted to make it clear that Mommy was
11:18no match for her, and if you thought she stood a chance, well, then you are just a stupid baby.
11:24Asuka's words, not mine.
11:26The Empress of Tomorrow went on to say that the outcome of the women's tag team championship match
11:30Monday on Raw will have the same outcome as 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, but 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 and insane elbows as the finally early part of the championship
11:59reign of the Kabuki Warriors.
12:01And now, here we go!
12:03We're a week away from meeting up in Brooklyn.
12:07And Io and Rhea take the ring.
12:10Io moving a lot better than she was last week, and that's the ball for the Kabuki Warriors.
12:17What a throwdown, we're getting it ringside here.
12:20The Kabuki Warriors came down to talk trash, but now they are eating shots left, right, and center.
12:29Io's back, right to the edge of our reinforced announce desk.
12:33Watch your back, Jairie.
12:34Oh, big right hand from Mami.
12:37Right on the jaw.
12:38And she checks on her part.
12:40Oh!
12:41Asuka.
12:43Right to work.
12:44This is a chance for the Kabuki Warriors to do some damage now, especially to Io.
12:49Ahead of that showdown in seven days.
12:52Time for the gold.
12:54Make your jump that much easier.
12:55Oh, now it's just a beatdown of two-on-one as they throw Rhea back into the ring.
13:01The Kabuki Warriors just pummeling, pummeling Rhea Ripley.
13:06And it tells you what a mistake by next week's challenges to head out here and try and attack
13:11the Kabuki Warriors stay wrapped up in cotton wool.
13:15Oh, no.
13:16Until you're up at your...
13:17Oh, oh.
13:17Oh!
13:18Io's back!
13:19Forget the insane elbow.
13:22Here's Io Sky.
13:23Io moving like a bolt of lightning.
13:26And this one has turned around in a hurry.
13:28The Kabuki Warriors getting smashed in that ring.
13:31She's got Riptide lined up.
13:33Oh, out the back doors, Kairi Sane.
13:36But a big elbow from Ripley.
13:40Kabuki Warriors, the reigning tag champs looking completely ragged after that assault by Rhea Ripley
13:47and Io Sky.
13:56From Brooklyn, the Women's Tag Team Championship match,
14:01the Kabuki Warriors against Ripley and Io Sky.
14:08The stage is set for this battle fueled by resentment and pride with the Kabuki Warriors
14:14striving to prove that they are two competitors who are simply untouchable in the ring by putting
14:20an end to Rhea and Io just as soon as their new tag team is getting started.
14:25But there is no chance Asuka and Kairi's supremacy will go uncontested
14:30because when it comes to the tag team titles, Rhea is not backing down.
14:41And Hayes now out to the apron looking for a DDT, but Dragunov caught him.
14:46To still possess this type of power this deep into a matchup speaks volumes about the physical condition
14:52of Ilya Dragunov.
14:54What's Dragunov going to do here?
14:55Hayes in desperation, glimmering elbows to the jaw.
15:05Both men cruised, battered, but 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 has 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, nothing but net!
15:46The cover!
15:48Case closed!
15:51Case closed!
15:52Hayes is a champion!
15:54Here is your winner, and the new United States champion, Carmelo Hayes!
16:08Never quit and handle problems, and I crush them all.
16:11Shoulders use the whole weight, now I've got some more.
16:15All these busts, they're tough until I come along.
16:18I've been in this here for years, and I'm running strong.
16:20What a fighting champion Ilya Dragunov was!
16:24And what a tremendous show of sportsmanship!
16:33After Ilya Dragunov let the pain entertain us for seven intense United States championship
16:39defenses, Carmelo Hayes was the one to turn that pain into triumph.
16:43In a match with both competitors leaving everything in the ring, Hayes coming out on top shows
16:49beyond a shadow of a doubt why he is him.
16:52But Carmelo isn't the only one leaving the WWE Universe stunned, as the women's intercontinental
16:57champion Maxine Dupree's feud has brought out a whole new vicious side of the champ, and
17:02a whole new holier-than-thou side of the challenger.
17:08Becky, choose your next move wisely.
17:11Because if I get a hold of that, you've got two choices.
17:15A, and my personal favorite, I'll break it.
17:20Or B, B is still a good option, you submit again.
17:30Who's a moody, Maxie?
17:32This is what I'm talking about, you're very, very moody.
17:35I, I didn't come out here to fight, I never start a fight, although I do finish them.
17:45I, I, I came to give you, credit.
17:57Okay, when, when I first saw you, I thought you were awful, terrible, the worst thing that
18:02I've ever seen.
18:03Do you have a point?
18:05Yes.
18:07Over the last few weeks or months, you've, you've.
18:18You've, you've, you've gotten a tiny bit better, and you were able to get away with
18:22stealing a title, and that's not nothing, so.
18:24Becky, the only thing I stole from you is the spotlight.
18:30I earned this title, and if you can't realize that, I will make you realize it next week,
18:35and you're not gonna come out here, and blame the ref, and claim corruption.
18:39No, no, no, no, it'll be all me, but I won't be the only one saying it.
18:44Everybody will be saying it.
18:46Hey, Sports Illustrated might even say it.
18:49And Becky Lynch, you will say it.
18:52Maxine Dupree, Intercontinental Champion.
19:00Listen to me, you little pump.
19:02I came out here to be nice, okay, because I'm a very nice person, okay?
19:07All right, but you think, you think four weeks of training in a dungeon is gonna make
19:12up for the lifetime that I've given to this business?
19:16I am a Royal Rumble winner.
19:18I am a Grand Slam champion.
19:20I won the main event of WrestleMania.
19:22I am the greatest female wrestler of all time, and it's not just me saying it.
19:27Sports Illustrated says it, everybody says it.
19:29The Bleacher Report says it, okay?
19:33And I didn't just get there because everything went my way, no, I climbed every mountain.
19:40I overcame every corruption and injustice perpetrated against me, okay?
19:46And it is not over, it is never over until I win, and I always find a way to win.
19:56But you, you, you, you, you think you stole the spotlight.
19:59Well, in one week, in one week, Maxine, all eyes are gonna be on you, and you gotta ask yourself,
20:07are you everything they think you are?
20:14Or are you gonna be everything that I know you are?
20:19Welcome to the big time!
20:27The fuse is lit for an explosive rematch between Becky Lynch and Maxine Dupree with
20:32the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line Monday on Raw.
20:35A Becky Lynch with an unbreakable determination to put the rookie in her place is a dangerous Becky Lynch.
20:42But with such a massive opportunity for Maxine to take down a seasoned veteran, will the burden
20:47of expectation become too much for Dupree, or will she beat the odds?
20:57On the final Monday Night Raw of 2025, Stephanie Vaquer defended her women's world title against Raquel Rodriguez and WWE
21:06Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
21:07All three of these superstars have a bone to pick with one another, and it all goes back to Survivor
21:13Series.
21:13Nikki Bella was inconsolable after her loss in San Diego to Stephanie and refused to go to the back of
21:19the line.
21:20Instead, Bella decided to interfere in Stephanie's championship match against Raquel Rodriguez a few weeks later
21:26to remind Stephanie that Nikki wasn't going anywhere.
21:29And while it seemed that Bella successfully turned Stephanie's attention back to the Hall of Famer,
21:35Raquel Rodriguez wasn't going to go away quietly.
21:38So the champ took matters into her own hands, demanding both at the same time in a triple threat match
21:44for the Women's World Championship.
21:47Stephanie Vaquer trying to rally here and create some momentum with offense.
21:56Oh, Raquel denying it.
21:57Well, Raquel just a momentum stopper in her own right.
22:02Oh!
22:03Oh, whoa!
22:03I'm at it right here!
22:05To attack!
22:05No!
22:06Raquel Rodriguez able to get that shoulder up at two and change.
22:09Raquel trying her best to deadlift, power up Vaquer into a vertical suplex, but fell victim to that trap of
22:18a small package.
22:19And this one is anybody's guess at this point, Joe.
22:24All three women have massive opportunities to put this to bed.
22:29All three women bringing their A-game.
22:33Oh, she's putting her in the target zone here.
22:35She's lining her up.
22:37That's what Vader this time doesn't go her way.
22:40Meanwhile, Nikki Bella's right back in the mix of it.
22:42Nikki Bella pin in combination to try to take gold.
22:47She's had a little difficulty manipulating the frame of Raquel there for that pin, and it proved pivotal.
22:54Just in the nick of time, Raquel kicking out there.
22:57Oh, no!
22:58Or was that the final chance for Nikki Bella to win this thing?
23:02No compromise position right here for Vaquer.
23:07Oh, my God!
23:08Are you kidding me?
23:09Raquel Rodriguez!
23:10How about a two-for-one?
23:1310 to the double to Hanabom.
23:16We only get a single.
23:17Oh, watch out, Raquel!
23:18Oh, she went for the roll-up, but instead out of the ring.
23:21Meanwhile, back in the ring.
23:22That is how Vaquer retains!
23:24Here is your winner, and still the women's world champion, Stephanie Becker!
23:50What the hell are you doing?
23:54I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask.
24:00I wanted everybody to feel my actions before they saw my face.
24:05And I've made some bad decisions.
24:07I got comfortable.
24:09I got injured.
24:11But then I saw the vision.
24:14You didn't wait for anything.
24:16You took, and that's me now.
24:19I take.
24:20And I know the vision's got a match tonight, and I'd love to take that opportunity and help out.
24:26Very interesting.
24:29Austin Theory now wants another chance to prove himself worthy of the vision.
24:38Austin Theory might be a missing piece in the vision.
24:49A stomp by Theory, a cover on Rae, and a win by the vision!
24:58I'd say Austin Theory nailed his audition.
25:03Austin Theory, aòng laitom.
25:14The rumors are true, ladies and gentlemen.
25:18the newest member of the vision
25:29is Austin Theory.
25:40Earn your keep, young man.
25:44They're all yours.
25:55I have waited my entire life
25:59for this moment.
26:05I have worked my entire career
26:09for this moment.
26:17Hey, uh, wise man.
26:20Can you, uh, educate me on this part again?
26:24Yes, sir.
26:25The goals of the vision
26:28outweigh the individual needs
26:30of any exclusive athlete
26:33inside of the group.
26:49Well, your first mistake
26:50is assuming that you know
26:52what I think of you.
26:53You think I was going to come out here
26:55and tell you that you're not ready?
26:57When your entire life
26:59you've been told you're ready
27:00and you're prepared?
27:02Brother, you're more ready
27:03than anybody I've ever seen.
27:05You're more ready
27:05than anybody back there.
27:07You're more ready
27:08than anybody else in the vision.
27:11There's one problem, Braun.
27:14I'm not ready.
27:17You want what I got?
27:22Pick it up.
27:27It's a lot heavier than you think
27:29and I'm not just talking
27:30about the physical weight.
27:31It is a privilege
27:33to carry the strap
27:35and it's something
27:36that I've earned
27:36and I'm not ready
27:38to let it go.
27:42I'm not ready
27:44to stop coming into
27:46sold-out arenas
27:47nationwide
27:48and getting the privilege
27:50and getting the privilege
27:51to say
27:51is it good
27:53to be alive
27:54on a Monday night
27:56in Orlando, Florida
27:57or what?
28:05I'm not ready
28:07to stop being champion.
28:09You're big
28:10you're bad
28:12you're strong
28:13you're tough
28:13you're fast
28:14you got what it takes
28:17but you're right
28:18we're not the same
28:19because one of us
28:21is CM Punk.
28:27Someday I'm not
28:28going to wake up
28:28but that wasn't today.
28:30Someday I'm going to
28:31run out of row
28:32but it's not January 5th
28:33and someday
28:35somebody is going to
28:36beat me for this
28:38but it ain't going to be you.
28:44I'll see you
28:44January 5th
28:49The whole world
28:50will see that man
28:51one of us is CM Punk
28:53yet that one
28:53just put the other
28:54on blast.
28:57In one corner
28:58the mad dog
28:59Braun Breaker
29:00is biting
29:00at the chance
29:01to earn the world
29:02heavyweight title
29:03and in the other
29:04the best in the world
29:05CM Punk
29:06is not ready
29:06to relinquish
29:07his championship
29:08to anyone.
29:09Tensions are at
29:10an all-time high
29:11before the bell rings
29:13on this explosive
29:17rivalry.
29:18The Vision
29:18has been quite busy
29:20after the reveal
29:21of Austin Theory
29:21as the masked man
29:22whether it's the
29:23tag team match
29:24two weeks ago
29:25or last Monday
29:26when Paul Heyman
29:27announced that
29:28Austin Theory
29:28is the newest member
29:29of the Vision
29:30it seems that
29:31with each passing week
29:32the Vision
29:33is on to
29:34the next big thing.
29:35However
29:35the same can't be said
29:37for WWE Hall of Famer
29:39Rey Mysterio
29:40who is still
29:40very mad
29:42about Austin Theory
29:43interfering in his
29:44match against Logan Paul
29:45not once
29:46but twice.
29:47So Rey was out
29:48to teach Theory
29:49a lesson
29:50the best way
29:50he knows how
29:51but with Logan Paul
29:52ringside
29:53it wasn't long
29:54before Mysterio
29:54was going to need
29:55some backup
29:56of his own.
30:02A just tying Theory
30:03up a notch here.
30:05Oh could this be
30:06the 619 opportunity
30:07is delivered on.
30:09Oh God
30:10he's got him
30:11and oh Logan Paul
30:13oh Logan Paul
30:16and the bell rings
30:18as Logan Paul
30:21interferes with the match
30:22just when Mysterio
30:24had it in place.
30:26It was never about
30:26the match Joe Test
30:27this was a bonding session
30:29as Paul Heyman put it
30:31a chance
30:32to grow those bonds
30:34with the newest member
30:35of the Vision.
30:36This is why Punk said
30:37oh no
30:42he's back
30:46Penta's back
30:48well this is exactly
30:50why Rey Mysterio
30:51said I got some
30:52connections
30:53don't worry Punk
30:54Penta who we
30:55haven't seen
30:56since he got injured
30:57in the last time
30:58is now tournament
30:59he had to stick up
31:01for his gun
31:01to Buddy
31:02just in the nick of time
31:04oh all the reports
31:05of the shoulder
31:06injury bow
31:07did you see that
31:09Logan Paul
31:11how about a 6-1-9
31:13for you
31:16Penta clears him
31:17oh it is so good
31:20to have Penta back
31:21here on Raw
31:36well a huge shock
31:39to the Vision
31:40a message
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

39:32man
39:32the only bad spot
39:34is in your head brother
39:36I've been telling you
39:37I need you bro
39:39you it
39:41you a world champion
39:42alright
39:43the J-Uso I know
39:45eight
39:46time tag team champion
39:47longest reigning tag team champion
39:49brother you him
39:50the J-Uso I know
39:52just like me
39:53got everybody around the world
39:56got everybody in that arena
39:58ready to yell
40:00one word
40:01four letters
40:05I need you
40:07you alright
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
40:26but whether the brothers were on the same page
40:29remain to be seen
40:30for the J-Uso's
40:31there was only one way to prove
40:33they are back on top
40:34by becoming nine time tag team champions
40:36but the brothers haven't seen the top of the mountain for a while
40:40two years and nine months to be exact
40:42and the men who were at the top of that mountain
40:45going into the world tag team title match last Monday
40:47AJ Styles and Dragon Lee
40:49they've proven that they're fighting champions
40:51and they wouldn't go down easy
40:53so if the Usos wanted to reclaim their former glory
40:56they were going to have to pull out all the stops
41:06you can see Big Jim reaching for his ribs there as he comes over
41:11you saw the drop in the spirits of J-Uso
41:15have our powers waning
41:16got a little pep talk in the corner there on that tag
41:18from brother Jimmy
41:20and it took a beat too long
41:22because 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
41:37he just launched himself all the way over our desk and took out Big Jim
41:44absolute kamikaze dive there from Dragon Lee
41:48who may have maimed himself in the process
41:50Big Jim looks absolutely wasted here on our announce desk
41:56oh there's a wall of the town
41:57look at this
41:58J-Uso 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
42:08Styles and main event J
42:10oh Styles Clash being lined up and he hits it
42:14he hits it
42:15he hits it
42:16J-Uso survives
42:20this is outrageous
42:23both teams and Noah Lyles is losing his mind at ringside too
42:28but both teams dropping the heaviest of artillery
42:32absolute psycho behavior though from Dragon Lee
42:35devastating effectiveness
42:37but this is the moment
42:39surely the champs were going to retain
42:42J-Uso dig about as deep as he's ever digged in his career to kick out
42:48why?
42:49Styles is in disbelief
42:51in absolute disbelief
42:53the Pele kick
42:54the Styles Clash
42:55and still
42:56they fight on
42:57in front of this massive crowd
43:00for the World Tag Team Championship
43:03both teams have had their moments of despair in this one
43:06but from despair to where
43:08the answer for the tag champs
43:12is perhaps incoming now
43:14and with Big Jim down and out
43:16J-Uso left
43:18to look at this
43:20the combo
43:21stop
43:23Styles Clash
43:24oh
43:26but Big Jim's back
43:27the eight-time world champion
43:31Usos
43:31have no quit in them
43:34it's beaten to the plunge
43:36once again by AJ Styles
43:38who now has the momentum
43:39phenomenal forearm
43:42is in
43:43oh
43:45stereo super kick
43:50they want it
43:52they get it
43:54the Usos
43:561-2-3
43:59they did it
44:00number 9 is Mighty 5
44:03here are your winners
44:06the new world tag team champions
44:14the Usos
44:18the new world tag team champions
44:25the Uso
44:31oh god what a match the final five minutes of that one swung all over the place
44:38but the statistically greatest tag team in history just got statistically even greater with number nine
44:47welcome back
44:49welcome back to the mountain top
44:50a place the Usos call home
44:53and that moment right there considering what we heard earlier tonight
44:57big Jim lifting up and bringing out the best from one of the best
45:03his 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
45:18the Usos are back on top and have proven to be a united force to be reckoned with
45:23while we all yeet our way into the new year
45:25this 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
45:34the 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
45:47CM Punk puts the world heavyweight championship up against Braun Breaker
45:51who kicks off 2026 with some new hardware
45:54we're gonna find out Monday night
45:56a Raw I surely won't be missing out on
45:59so until we meet again
46:01I'm Megan Morant
