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 ring, 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 gonna do.
10:20Next week on SmackDown in Buffalo, New York,
10:23you're gonna 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.
10:29Maybe 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
14:04and Io Sky.
14:08The stage is set for this battle,
14:11fueled by resentment and pride
14:13with the Kabuki Warriors
14:14striving to prove
14:15that they are two competitors
14:17who are simply untouchable
14:19in the ring
14:19by putting an end
14:20to Rhea and Io
14:21just as soon
14:23as their new tag team
14:24is getting started.
14:25But there is no chance
14:27Asuka and Kairi's supremacy
14:28will go uncontested
14:30because when it comes
14:31to the tag team titles,
14:33Rhea is not backing down.
14:41And Hayes now out to the apron
14:43looking for a DDT,
14:44but Dragunov caught him.
14:46To still possess
14:47this type of power
14:48this deep into a matchup
14:50speaks volumes
14:50about the physical condition
14:52of Ilya Dragunov.
14:54What's Dragunov gonna do here?
14:55Hayes in desperation
14:57delivering elbows to the jaw.
15:05Both men cruised,
15:07battered,
15:08but too proud to quit.
15:09Beating the hell
15:10out of each other.
15:12Dragunov now.
15:14No!
15:14Out of the apron!
15:17Hayes may be out.
15:23I'm not sure
15:24Carmelo Hayes
15:25has any idea
15:25where he is.
15:27Dragunov does though.
15:28He's got Hayes
15:29in his sights.
15:30Dragunov.
15:30From the top rope.
15:34First 48!
15:36First 48!
15:38Melo's got a chance!
15:40Melo's got a chance!
15:42He's gonna do it!
15:43Carmelo Hayes
15:45nothing but net!
15:47The cover!
15:49Case closed!
15:51Case closed!
15:52Hayes is a champion!
15:54Here is your winner
15:55and the new
15:59United States
16:00champion!
16:03Carmelo Hayes!
16:08Never quit and handle problems
16:10and I crush them all.
16:11Yeah!
16:11Shoulders use the whole weight
16:13and now I dust them all.
16:14All these busts
16:15and they tough
16:16until I come along.
16:17I've been in this
16:18here for years
16:19and I'm running strong.
16:20What 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
16:39championship defenses,
16:40Carmelo Hayes
16:41was the one to turn
16:42that pain into triumph.
16:43In a match with both competitors leaving everything in the ring,
16:47Hayes coming out on top shows beyond a shadow of a doubt why he is him.
16:52But Carmelo isn't the only one leaving the WWE Universe stunned
16:56as the women's intercontinental champion Maxine Dupree's feud
16:59has brought out a whole new vicious side of the champ
17:02and a 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.
17:24You submit again.
17:30Who's a moody, Maxie?
17:32This is what I'm talking about.
17:33You're very, very moody.
17:36I didn't come out here to fight.
17:38I never start a fight, although I do finish them.
17:45I, I, I came to give you...
17:55Credit!
17:57Okay, when, when I first saw you, I thought you were awful, terrible,
18:01the worst thing that I've ever seen.
18:03Do you have a point?
18:05Yes.
18:07Over the last few weeks or months, you've, you've...
18:17You'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.
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.
18:40It'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, Maxine Dupree, Intercontinental Champion.
19:00Listen to me, you little pup.
19:02I came out here to be nice, okay?
19:04Because I'm a very nice person, okay?
19:07All right.
19:08But you think, you think four weeks of training in a dungeon is gonna make up for
19:13the 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.
19:26Sports Illustrated says it.
19:28Everybody says it.
19:29The Bleacher Report says it, okay?
19:33And I didn't just get there because everything went my way.
19:37No, I climbed every mountain.
19:40I overcame every corruption and injustice perpetrated against me, okay?
19:46And it is not over.
19:48It is never over until I win.
19:51And I always find a way to win.
19:56But you, you, you, you, you think you stole the spotlight.
20:00Well, in one week, in one week, Maxine, all eyes are gonna be on you.
20:05And you gotta ask yourself, are 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 the Women's
20:32Intercontinental 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
20:41Becky 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?
20:50Or will she beat the odds?
20:57On the final Monday Night Raw of 2025, Stephanie Vaquer defended her women's world title against
21:04Raquel Rodriguez and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
21:07All three of these superstars have a bone to pick with one another, and it all goes back
21:12to Survivor Series.
21:13Nikki Bella was inconsolable after her loss in San Diego to Stephanie and refused to go to
21:19the back of the line.
21:20Instead, Bella decided to interfere in Stephanie's championship match against Raquel Rodriguez a
21:25few weeks later to remind Stephanie that Nikki wasn't going anywhere.
21:29And while it seemed that Bella successfully turned Stephanie's attention back to the Hall
21:34of Famer, Raquel 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
21:44match for the Women's World Championship.
21:47Stephanie Vaquer trying to rally here and create some momentum with offense.
21:55Oh, Raquel denying it.
21:57Well, Raquel just a momentum stopper in her own right.
22:05Oh, Raquel 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
22:17to that trap of a small package.
22:19And this one is anybody's guess at this point, Joe.
22:25All three women have massive opportunities to put this to bed.
22:29All three women bringing their A game.
22:33But Will's putting her in the target zone here.
22:35She's lining her up.
22:37That's what I made her this time.
22:39Doesn'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.
22:46She's had a little difficulty manipulating the frame of Raquel there for that pin, and it
22:52proved pivotal.
22:54Just in the nick of time, Raquel kicking out there.
22:58And was that the final chance for Nikki Bella to win this thing?
23:02No compromise position right here for Vaquer.
23:06Oh, are you kidding me?
23:09Raquel Rodriguez.
23:11How about a two for one?
23:13It's time for that 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 The Care retains.
23:25Here is your winner.
23:29And still the women's world champion, Stephanie The Care.
23:50What the hell are you doing?
23:54I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask.
23:59I wanted everybody to fill 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.
24:13You didn't wait for anything.
24:16You took.
24:17And that's me now.
24:19I take.
24:20And I know the vision's got a match tonight.
24:22And 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.
24:52A cover on Rae.
24:54And a win by the vision.
24:58I'd say Austin Theory nailed his audition.
25:08Stam!
25:14The rumors are true.
25:17Ladies and gentlemen, the newest member of the vision...
25:29...is Austin Theory.
25:33Stam!
25:36Stam!
25:37Stam!
25:38Stam!
25:38Stam!
25:40Stam!
25:41Stam!
25:41Stam!
25:42Stam!
25:43Stam!
25:54Stam!
25:56I have waited my entire life for this moment.
26:05I have worked my entire career for this moment.
26:17Hey, uh, wise man, can you educate me on this part again?
26:23Yes, sir. The goals of the vision outweigh the individual needs of any exclusive athlete inside of the group.
26:48Well, your first mistake is assuming that you know what I think of you.
26:53You think I was going to come out here and tell you that you're not ready?
26:57When your entire life you've been told you're ready and you're prepared?
27:02Brother, you're more ready than anybody I've ever seen.
27:05You're more ready than anybody back there.
27:07You're more ready than 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, and I'm not just talking about the physical weight.
27:31It is a privilege to carry this strap, and it's something that I've earned.
27:36And I'm not ready to let it go.
27:42I'm not ready to stop coming into sold-out arenas nationwide
27:48and getting the privilege to say,
27:52is it good to be alive on a Monday night in Orlando, Florida?
28:06I'm not ready to stop being champion.
28:09You're big.
28:10You're bad.
28:12You're strong.
28:13You're tough.
28:14You're fast.
28:15You got what it takes.
28:17But you're right.
28:18We're not the same.
28:19Because one of us is CM Punk.
28:27Someday I'm not going to wake up, but that wasn't today.
28:30Someday I'm going to run out of row, but it's not January 5th.
28:34And someday, somebody is going to beat me for this.
28:38But it ain't going to be you.
28:44I'll see you January 5th.
28:49The whole world will see that dance.
28:51One of us is CM Punk, yet that one just put the other on blast.
28:57In one corner, the mad dog, Braun Breaker,
29:00is biting at the chance to earn the world heavyweight title.
29:03And in the other, the best in the world, CM Punk,
29:06is not ready to relinquish his championship to anyone.
29:10Tensions are at an all-time high
29:11before the bell rings on this explosive rivalry.
29:18The Vision has been quite busy after the reveal of Austin Theory as the masked man.
29:23Whether it's the tag team match two weeks ago or last Monday
29:26when Paul Heyman announced that Austin Theory is the newest member of The Vision,
29:30it seems that with each passing week, The Vision is on to the next big thing.
29:35However, the same can't be said for a WWE Hall of Famer, Ray Mysterio,
29:40who is still very mad about Austin Theory interfering in his match against Logan Paul.
29:45Not once, but twice.
29:47So, Ray was out to teach Theory a lesson the best way he knows how.
29:51But with Logan Paul ringside, it wasn't long before Mysterio was going to need some backup of his own.
30:01A just tying Theory up a notch here.
30:05Oh, could this be?
30:06The 619 opportunity is delivered on!
30:09Oh, God, this is going to sound like a heart.
30:11Oh, Logan Paul!
30:13Oh, Logan Paul!
30:16And the bell rings as Logan Paul interferes with the match
30:22just when Mysterio had it in place.
30:26It was never about the match, Joe Test.
30:28This was a bonding session as Paul Heyman put it.
30:31A chance to grow those bonds with the newest member of The Vision.
30:36This is why Punk said,
30:37Oh, no!
30:38Oh!
30:42He's back!
30:46PENTA's back!
30:48Well, this is exactly why Ray Mysterio said,
30:52I got some connections, don't worry, Punk.
30:54PENTA, who we haven't seen since he got injured in the last time his now tournament.
31:00He had to stick up for his go-to buddy just in the nick of time.
31:04Oh, all the reports of the shoulder injury back.
31:07Oh, did you see that?
31:08I did.
31:09Logan Paul, how about a 6-1-9 for you?
31:14And look out!
31:16PENTA clears him.
31:18Oh, it is so good to have PENTA back here on Raw.
31:36Well, a huge shock to The Vision.
31:40A message attempted to be sent to Rey Mysterio in physical fashion.
31:45But for Rey's sake, thank goodness for the return of the incredible PENTA.
31:57Do you have any sort of response to the widespread belief that your commentary and
32:03general behavior has been classified as disrespectful since defeating John Cena?
32:10Defeating, that's not very precise.
32:14I made John Cena tap out.
32:16Gunther!
32:20The disrespect got to stop.
32:22You made John Cena tap out.
32:2617-time world champion, Grand Slam champion, the GOAT.
32:31My hero and a hero to a lot of other people.
32:34But every week, you sing the same old song, it makes you a piece of it.
32:47You're not a good person.
32:49You're the world's greatest wrestler now.
32:53Second time you done done that, there won't be a third.
33:08That's supposed to be a challenge?
33:12See you in the ring.
33:20Sports entertainment world that still aches over what happened in John Cena's
33:25final match.
33:29Nobody hurts more than R-Truth and now hurt literally in the center of the ring
33:34against Gunther, who sends him down with a thudding blow again.
33:40Gunther does what he wants.
33:41He walks where he wants, including on our desk.
33:45And he beats whoever he wants.
33:48Gunther owns this entire industry.
33:52Oh, come on.
33:53No, 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 power bomb 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.
34:39When 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?
34:54Here is your winner, by submission, the ring general, Gunther!
35:06Gunther absolutely pummeling R-Truth, once again asserting his dominance in a way that
35:12absolutely infuriates the crowd.
35:14While the ring general revels in being a Grinch over the blue brand, it's Joe Hendry who is
35:20still trying to 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.
36:15Clear this ring, clear this stuff.
36:18Me and you have a match right here, right now.
36:23Oh, whoa, Miz, Miz.
36:25Over here, just one little thing I forgot to mention.
36:29Your 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 greet the holidays.
36:56I don't hear what to say anymore.
36:58Uh-oh.
37:00Miz is gonna go for a ride again.
37:04Beautiful.
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, of course, it's truth.
37:46Of course, it's truth in the bunny outfit.
38:03I'm having flashbacks to the rose butts, Michael Cole.
38:07Oh, the guitar!
38:09Just smashed through the Miz, and a standing ovation coming.
38:15Henry puts Miz through the table.
38:19One, two, three.
38:21Embarrasses Miz again.
38:24Here is your winner, Joe Henry!
38:30I believe in the magic of Christmas.
38:33I believe in Joe Henry!
38:57I believe in Joe Henry!

40:24jimmy did his best to hype up his twin but whether the brothers were on the same page
40:29remained to be seen for the usos there was only one way to prove they are back on top
40:34by becoming nine time tag team champions but the brothers haven't seen the top of the mountain for
40:39a while two years and nine months to be exact and the men who were at the top of that
40:44mountain going
40:45into the world tag team title match last monday aj styles and dragon lee they've proven that they're
40:51fighting champions and they wouldn't go down easy so 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 jay uso have our powers waning
41:16you got a little pep talk in the corner there on that tag from brother jimmy and it took a
41:21beat 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 league dragon lee's revving it oh my oh my
41:37he just launched himself all the way over our desk and took out big jim an absolute kamikaze dive there

42:23both teams and noah wiles is losing his mind at ringside too but both teams dropping the heaviest of
42:31artillery absolute psycho behavior though from dragon lake devastating effectiveness but this is the moment
42:39surely the champs were going to retain jay lusso dig about as deep as he's ever digged in his career
42:48to kick out why styles is in disbelief in absolute disbelief the pelle kick the styles clash and still
42:56they fight on in front of this massive crowd for the world tag team championship both teams have had
43:04their moments of their moments of despair in this one but from despair to where the answer for the tag
43:10champs
