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!
10:15While 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 betrayal, 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, Flash 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.
25:01What is yours?
25:15The rumors are true, ladies and gentlemen.
25:18And the 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 for this moment.
26:05I have worked my entire career for this moment.
26:17Hey, uh, wise man, can you, uh, educate me on this part again?
26:24Yes, sir.
26:25The goals of the vision outweigh the individual needs
26:30of any exclusive athlete inside of the group.
26:49Well, 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 the strap, and it's something that I've earned,
27:37and 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, or what?
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,
28:28but that wasn't today.
28:30Someday I'm going to run out of row,
28:32but it's not January 5th.
28:34And someday,
28:35somebody 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,
28:53and that one just put the other on blast.
28:57In one corner,
28:58the mad dog,
28:59Braun Breaker,
29:00is biting at the chance to earn the world heavyweight title,
29:03and in the other,
29:04the best in the world,
29:05CM 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
29:20after the reveal of Austin Theory as the masked man.
29:23Whether it's the tag team match two weeks ago,
29:25or last Monday,
29:26when Paul Heyman announced that Austin Theory
29:28is the newest member of the vision,
29:30it seems that with each passing week,
29:32the vision is on to the next big thing.
29:35However,
29:36the same can't be said for WWE Hall of Famer,
29:39Rey Mysterio,
29:40who is still very mad about Austin Theory
29:43interfering in his match against Logan Paul.
29:45Not once,
29:46but twice.
29:47So,
29:48Rey was out to teach Theory a lesson,
29:50the best way he knows how.
29:51But with Logan Paul ringside,
29:53it wasn't long before Mysterio was going to need
29:55some backup of his own.
30:01A just tying Theory up a notch here.
30:05Oh,
30:05could this be?
30:06The 619 opportunity is delivered on!
30:09Oh,
30:10God,
30:10this is going to sound like a heart.
30:11Oh,
30:12Logan Paul!
30:13Oh,
30:14Logan Paul!
30:16And the bell rings as Logan Paul
30:21interferes with the match
30:22just when Mysterio
30:24had it in place.
30:26It was never about the match,
30:27Joe Test.
30:28This was a bonding session.
30:30Come on now.
30:30As Paul Heyman put it,
30:31a chance
30:32to grow those bonds
30:34with the newest member of the tournament.
30:36This is why Punk said,
30:37whoa!
30:38No!
30:38Whoa!
30:42He's back!
30:46Pins us back!
30:48Well,
30:49this is exactly why
30:50Rey Mysterio said,
30:52I got some connections.
30:53Don't worry,
30:53Punk.
30:54Penta,
30:55who we haven't seen
30:56since he got injured
30:57in the last time
30:58is now tournament.
31:00He had to stick up
31:01for his go to Buddy
31:02just in the nick of time.
31:04Oh,
31:05all the reports
31:05of the shoulder injury.
31:07Oh,
31:07did you see that?
31:08I did.
31:10Logan Paul,
31:11how about a 619 for you?
31:14And look out!
31:16Penta clears him.
31:18Oh,
31:19it is so good
31:20to have Penta back here
31:21on Raw.
31:25Get off!
31:26Get off!
31:37Well,
31:37a 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.
31:57Do you have
31:58any sort of response
32:00to the widespread
32:01belief that your
32:02commentary
32:03and general behavior
32:04has been classified
32:07as disrespectful
32:08since defeating
32:09John Cena?
32:10Defeating?
32:11That's not very precise.
32:14I made John Cena
32:15tap out.
32:16Arthur!
32:20The disrespect
32:21got to stop.
32:23You made
32:24John Cena
32:24tap out.
32:2617-time
32:27world champion,
32:28Grand Slam champion,
32:30the GOAT,
32:31my hero,
32:32and a hero
32:33to a lot of other people.
32:34that every week
32:36you sing
32:36the same old song
32:38that makes you
32:39a piece of...
32:47You're not a good person.
32:49You're the world's
32:50greatest wrestler now.
32:53Second time
32:53you 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.
33:20Sports entertainment world
33:21that still aches
33:22over what happened
33:24in John Cena's
33:25final match.
33:29Nobody hurts more
33:31than R-Truth
33:32and now hurt
33:32literally in the center
33:33of the ring
33:34against Gunther
33:36who sends him down
33:37with a thudding blow
33:38again.
33:40Gunther does
33:41what he wants.
33:42He walks where he wants
33:43including on our desk
33:45and he beats
33:46whoever he wants.
33:48Gunther owns
33:49this 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
34:03R-Truth.
34:04And another.
34:05That might have been
34:06a major, major error
34:07by...
34:08No!
34:10Bounce back ability
34:12from the massive Austrian.
34:21And the vicious power bomb
34:23puts 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
34:31to anybody
34:31in the locker room
34:33who wants to step
34:34to Gunther.
34:35Hammering elbows.
34:36You just have the sense
34:37yes, and that's
34:38where it's going.
34:39When the shoulders
34:40were down
34:40and it could have been over
34:41he's applying the sleeper.
34:43It's the barbarity
34:45and is it time
34:46to tap out
34:47like a bee?
34:54Here is your winner
34:56by submission
34:58the ring general
35:02Gunther!
35:06Gunther absolutely
35:07pummeling R-Truth
35:09once again
35:10asserting his dominance
35:11in a way that
35:12absolutely infuriates
35:14the crowd.
35:14While the ring general
35:16revels in being a Grinch
35:18over the blue brand
35:19it's Joe Hendry
35:20who is still trying
35:21to bring us all
35:22a little holiday cheer.
35:23But Hendry's new rendition
35:25of an old favorite
35:26wasn't enough
35:26to make everyone believe.
35:30Jingle bells
35:31Jingle bells
35:32Miz has tiny balls
35:34He'd rather be in Hollywood

35:59into the joke?

36:01outlasting people
36:02that laughed at me

36:05I've earned the right
36:07to be the locker room leader
36:09and take this company

40:27the brothers
40:27were on the same
40:28page
40:29remained to be seen
40:30For the Uso's
40:31there was only
40:31one way to prove
40:33they are back
40:33on top
40:34by becoming
40:34nine time
40:35tag team
40:36champions
40:36but the brothers

40:52wouldn't go down
40:53easy
40:53so if the Uso's

41:28where the Uso's
41:29were looking
41:29for that double
41:30splash perhaps
41:31but things have
41:32changed in a big
41:32way since Dragon
