00:00:12Then, now, forever.
00:00:36For the first time in two years, the pro-wrestling hotbed of Greensboro, North Carolina hosts Monday Night Raw.
00:00:53As we await the fallout from what happened when we went off the air last week.
00:01:00This they're going, you just don't have to pull on the guy.
00:01:03Roman, I know you want Jacob here tonight, okay?
00:01:05But I'm not feeling it.
00:01:06Backlash was too much.
00:01:08He put his hands on my referees.
00:01:10He attacked my agents.
00:01:11He tossed me out of the ring and he went way too far with you.
00:01:15He doesn't deserve to be here tonight.
00:01:17Can't do it tonight.
00:01:18What do you mean I can't do it tonight?
00:01:19He hadn't acknowledged me yet.
00:01:22We made a deal.
00:01:23If you don't acknowledge me, his ass is out of here.
00:01:49Roman, now, goes right after his cousin, Jacob Martell.
00:01:55And the fight is on.
00:01:58Guns into a Superman punch.
00:02:02Punishment to Fatou.
00:02:04Jacob asked for it.
00:02:06He said, beat the acknowledgement out of me.
00:02:11Fatou catches up in the tongue and death grip.
00:02:14And Roman's starting to fade.
00:02:19Power bombing Rage through the table.
00:02:23Fatou's not going to be stopped.
00:02:25Plung and death grip again.
00:02:30Jacob Fatou has completely gone off the deep end.
00:02:3410 years later.
00:02:37Okay.
00:02:39Right?
00:02:40All right.
00:02:42All right.
00:02:44All right.
00:03:17so last week if you would just listen to me none of this would have been happening
00:03:22we wouldn't be here today jacob would be fired because he doesn't deserve to be here so we're
00:03:26going to do it my way this week what do you want me to say what do you want me
00:03:28to tell you that you
00:03:30was right we should have done it your way doesn't matter now i just need a few minutes
00:03:38because i'm calling his ass out right now are you serious right now he needs to be fired he needs
00:03:45to be fired he needs to be fired tonight i need to handle my business first you understand me
00:03:49i hear what you're saying but
00:04:11oh cory i echo the sentiment of our general manager or adam pierce what the
00:04:19roman was going to call out by two jacob beating him to the punch well this can't sit well with
00:04:26the tribal chief but i don't know if there's a man walking god's green earth who has the guts
00:04:30to look the samoan werewolf in the eye and tell him to get out of here he has been out
00:04:36of control
00:04:39unhinged obsessed and he left the world heavyweight champion in a heap last week oh the usos too
00:05:12so
00:05:18Hey, you trying to say you're going to call me out, Roman?
00:05:25Hey, I'm here right now.
00:05:28Bring your punk ass out here so I can dog walk your punk ass.
00:05:47Well, two men with a massive score to settle after last week, Jacob Fatou's cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso, and
00:05:56a nine-time tag team champs don't feel like coming out here to talk.
00:06:00At least Jey doesn't.
00:06:01I feel you, just let me talk.
00:06:04Hold on.
00:06:05Let me wrap with him real quick.
00:06:11What are we doing, Uso?
00:06:14What the hell are we doing, Jacob?
00:06:16Huh?
00:06:19You sat here and told us, told everybody and their mom and them, you'll do anything it takes to save
00:06:25your family.
00:06:25You'll do anything it takes to take care of your wife, to give them a better life.
00:06:29Part of that was acknowledging the tribal team, man.
00:06:36You lost that backlash.
00:06:38You were supposed to acknowledge them, and you didn't.
00:06:42It's like you, it's like you choose the hardest path to follow, man.
00:06:46You don't mess around to put your hands on management.
00:06:49Now, guess what?
00:06:50They about to fire your ass.
00:06:58Then what?
00:06:59Then what?
00:07:00We go back to that lifestyle, huh?
00:07:02We don't give our kids the big bag, the better schools, the bigger cars, the better life, huh?
00:07:08Because you ain't thinking, man.
00:07:10Then what?
00:07:11We back in prison now?
00:07:12Huh?
00:07:17Yeah, oh!
00:07:18Take your ass back, Jacob!
00:07:20What are you about to look?
00:07:23Oh, and Jey Uso trying to go after Jacob in the chair, and now Jimmy's got to get involved.
00:07:28Jimmy was trying to play pacekeeper.
00:07:30Jey Uso a hothead, and now the Tonga death grip.
00:07:34The Tonga death grip locked in on Jimmy.
00:07:38And Jey from behind with a chair.
00:07:40And it had no effect.
00:07:47This Jacob Fartu's a different breed.
00:07:50And now the death grip on Jey Uso.
00:07:55And Uso's fading.
00:07:59Jacob Fartu again laying waste to his cousins.
00:08:11Don't give it to me.
00:09:45The world champ, right from the super high punch.
00:09:48And again, Fatou intercepts to the Tongan death grip.
00:09:52And that's Jey Uso into the fray.
00:09:55A super kick.
00:09:56Fatou still hasn't locked in.
00:09:58Still hasn't let go.
00:09:59And now a spear will form Fatou.
00:10:03Jimmy from the top.
00:10:04Uso splash.
00:10:14And a 1D wiping out the Samoan werewolf.
00:10:24Jimmy and Jey Uso came to collect.
00:10:38Fatou's back up.
00:10:40Jacob Fatou got up by his own power.
00:10:42Yeah, but he's a...
00:10:43Jacob Fatou now being locked in the ropes.
00:10:46Jacob Fatou caught in the ropes.
00:10:49You start too many fires, Jacob.
00:10:51Eventually, you get burned.
00:10:54Superman punched.
00:10:55Fatou is sitting duck.
00:10:58Listen, Roman Reigns recently seems to be trying to do the right thing.
00:11:04But it didn't work.
00:11:06And now Roman Reigns with hell to pay.
00:11:10The Tigers showing his struts.
00:11:15And a double super kick to Fatou.
00:11:32And a spear from Reigns to Jacob.
00:11:38And the Samoan werewolf just met his silver.
00:11:41And a bullet.
00:11:57As much as I hate to admit it, Jacob Fatou, Corey, brought that all upon himself.
00:12:05Absolutely right, Cole.
00:12:07And tonight the Samoan werewolf was forced to answer for his sins
00:12:10against his own family.
00:12:17But what happens now?
00:12:30Now you can do whatever you want.
00:12:32Fire his ass, do whatever you want.
00:12:36Jacob Fatou.
00:12:43Roman!
00:12:51Roman!
00:12:55Tribal!
00:12:57Combat!
00:13:05No, we don't need it.
00:13:08We don't need that.
00:13:09You don't need it.
00:13:17We don't need it, though.
00:13:20We don't need it.
00:13:36I accept.
00:13:41Roman Reigns is going to take care of the family business by himself.
00:14:01I mean, Corey, you have to imagine that a match of this magnitude, tribal combat, is going to have to
00:14:09take place perhaps in Italy, a clash in Italy in a couple of weeks.
00:14:14But you can see the shock on the face of Roman Reigns.
00:14:17The fact that Jacob Fatu was willing to invoke tribal combat.
00:14:21There are implications that are massive, that are bigger than WWE, Cole.
00:14:26Corey, there's only been two tribal combat matches in history.
00:14:30Two. Roman Reigns victorious in both of them.
00:14:34And now we have a third one coming up.
00:14:35This is about your standing in the family, let alone WWE.
00:14:38There are no rules.
00:14:39There are no disqualifications, no countouts.
00:14:41And the loser is forced to acknowledge the winner as their tribal chief.
00:14:46I hope Jacob knows what he's doing.
00:14:47This is the sign of a desperate man.
00:14:49Well, ladies and gentlemen, so much to unpack in this developing story here tonight.
00:14:53What a night it's going to be on Monday Night Raw because the stars are indeed out and they are
00:14:58indeed here, including Seth freaking Rollins, who's had major issues with the vision as of late.
00:15:07Seth Rollins joins us live tonight.
00:15:10Who will take the open challenge from this man or will Oba Femi again have to bring the fight to
00:15:16the locker room?
00:15:17The ruler is here live with an open challenge tonight.
00:15:21The Judgment Day with an opportunity to win back the WWE Women's Tag Team titles.
00:15:28Raquel and Roxanne against Brie and Paige tonight.
00:15:32And J.D. McDonough, he's in action coming up next against Finn Taller.
00:15:40When I needed someone that I knew would have my back no matter what, it was only going to be
00:15:47J.D.
00:15:51Then the moment of truth.
00:15:55Ever since we jumped you out, people haven't asked me, J.D., how could you do that to Finn?
00:16:00It was easy.
00:16:02I think you've changed so much I barely even recognize you anymore.
00:16:06What about me?
00:16:07What about you, the guy that stood behind you for 20 years, defending you, taking bullets for you?
00:16:15So now tonight, after all this time, I'm going to step out of that big fat shadow that you cast.
00:16:21J.D., this is going to be one of those full circle moments, because I brought you into this business.
00:16:27But tonight, I'm going to take you out.
00:16:29It's a street fight showdown.
00:16:32Ballard and McDonough.
00:16:34This is personal.
00:16:35Well launched.
00:16:41Like, if you want to see it.
00:16:41Oh!
00:16:45Well, I'm not in this direction.
00:16:46Oh!
00:16:48Oh!
00:16:49Oh!
00:16:58Oh!
00:16:59Oh!
00:17:00Oh!
00:17:03Oh!
00:17:03Oh!
00:17:05Whoa!
00:17:19The following contest is a STREAM FIGHT!
00:17:27Introducing first, from Bray to the Winklow, Ireland,
00:17:31weighing at 190 pounds, Finn Balor!
00:17:58Does it count if I end the phrase with MANEUVER?
00:18:02Let's see how it plays out, Finn, JD, STREAM FIGHT NEXT!
00:18:21And again, a street fight here tonight.
00:18:24Anything goes, you envy a pinfaller submission, and Finn Balor was actually in a street fight
00:18:30back at WrestleMania, The Demon versus Dominic Mysterio.
00:18:34And whether Finn Balor is adorned in face paint or otherwise,
00:18:38part of The Demon always exists in the psyche of this extraordinary man.
00:18:47The intensity in this rivalry has continued to rise over the past several weeks
00:18:53after being excommunicated by The Judgment Day, whom Balor considered family.
00:18:59Finn now finds himself with a tough task of taking them out one piece at a time.
00:19:04And not only family, Corey, but Balor had really assumed that role as the leader of The Judgment Day,
00:19:10being the veteran in the clubhouse, leading the rest of The Judgment Day along the way.
00:19:15Now, Balor's done a lot of things that many of us don't agree with,
00:19:18but the fact that his...
00:19:20Well, a man he's known for 20 years, a man that he's mentored,
00:19:23brought up in his training school in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland,
00:19:28J.D. McDonough would turn his back on Balor to join the likes of dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:19:35I think that certainly eats it, Balor.
00:19:37You don't spend that much time and grow that close to someone,
00:19:40especially in an industry like this, without feeling like they're having family betray you.
00:19:45And that's been the case for Balor and McDonough,
00:19:48whereas J.D. McDonough looks to finally step out of the massive shadow of his mentor.
00:20:16Look at the focus in the eyes of Finn's opponent tonight.
00:20:21And his opponent, weighted at 195 pounds, representing The Judgment Day, J.D. McDonough!
00:20:33And you mentioned, Corey, a big matchup for McDonough as he continues to try to step away
00:20:39from the shadow of his former mentor, Finn Balor.
00:20:43J.D. McDonough is tough as nails, really made for the street fight atmosphere.
00:20:48It could also be argued for the entire country full of Irishmen.
00:20:52They fight because it's Saturday, or Sunday, or because they're bored.
00:20:56Or any day.
00:21:15Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix tonight from the city of Greensboro, North Carolina.
00:21:21And so much to come, including more on the developing story about tribal combat with Jacob Matu and Roman Reigns.
00:21:28And look who was born here in Greensboro.
00:21:30We are in young OG country.
00:21:33Javon Evans, born and raised, right here in Greensboro.
00:21:37Such a rich history for our industry in this wonderful city.
00:21:41And in this wonderful coliseum here tonight.
00:21:45Street fight will kick us off with the first match on Monday Night Raw.
00:21:48Finn Balor, J.D. McDonough.
00:21:50Anything goes.
00:21:51No disqualification, no count out.
00:21:53You wouldn't be a pinfall or submission.
00:21:55And talk about bad blood between these two.
00:21:58It's a unique situation.
00:21:59You've got two of the most technically gifted and proficient superstars on the roster.
00:22:04Two of the best wrestlers on the mat anywhere in the globe.
00:22:08Oh!
00:22:09All that skill set can be tossed out the window tonight.
00:22:12No count outs, no disqualification.
00:22:15McDonough, shoulder first into the steel steps.
00:22:18This is a rubber match of sorts.
00:22:20It's only the third time ever.
00:22:24The other two matches happened over the last couple of months that these two have gone.
00:22:28One on one.
00:22:29Balor owns the victory.
00:22:30McDonough owns the victory.
00:22:32And again, the kendo sticks and now the steel chairs.
00:22:34Completely legal in this street fight matchup.
00:22:39Balor not wasting any time introducing weaponry into this street fight.
00:22:44Balor with a winning record in street fights in his career.
00:22:47Including back at WrestleMania when his demon persona beat Dominic Mysterio.
00:22:53J.D. McDonough in his first street fight in three years here tonight.
00:23:00McDonough fracturing that kendo stick across the back of Finn Balor.
00:23:04You know, we've talked a lot about McDonough and he's got a vicious and sadistic side to him.
00:23:09That's what the Irish ace is all about.
00:23:12Well, it's served McDonough extremely well to this point in his career.
00:23:15J.D. is a master at taking all that aggression inside and channeling it and focusing it where it needs
00:23:20to go against his opponent.
00:23:22And a rich history between these two.
00:23:25J.D. McDonough over 20 years ago.
00:23:27Oh, walked into Finn Balor's wrestling school in Bray County Wicklow, Ireland and said I want to be a professional
00:23:33wrestler.
00:23:34So Finn Balor took him under his wing, became his mentor and over the next 20 years assured J.D.
00:23:40McDonough the opportunity to compete at this level.
00:23:42In fact, Corey, these two men, they were two time world tag champs together.
00:23:47And I truly believe this is a case of McDonough just finally growing sick of being in the shadow of
00:23:53Finn Balor.
00:23:53But for the rest of his career.
00:23:55Oh, God.
00:23:55The joint forces with Dominic Mysterio.
00:23:58Come on.
00:23:59Oh!
00:24:00About the reigning AAA mega champion, by the way, Michael Cole.
00:24:03That's pretty good company to keep.
00:24:05McDonough sent face first into the steel chair.
00:24:08Let me guess, you're also going to insult the women's world champion Liv Morgan.
00:24:11Also a member of the Judgment Day.
00:24:13How about Raquel and Roxanne?
00:24:15Potentially our next women's tag team champions.
00:24:17I'd join the Judgment Day if I had the chance.
00:24:20I'm not sure they'd let you in.
00:24:22There's an initiation process from what I understand.
00:24:25You mean like public humiliation like I did at WrestleMania?
00:24:27Well, maybe.
00:24:29And now, J.D. McDonough with a suicide dive as Balor was pulling a table out from under the ring.
00:24:35And both of these superstars avoided disaster by a literal few inches.
00:24:40The official Daryl Sharma in this matchup checking on both men.
00:24:44Look at the velocity with which McDonough launches himself outside of the ring.
00:24:48And now sending Balor into the timekeeper's area.
00:24:52And suddenly, J.D. McDonough with a ring announcer, Alicia Taylor's mic in hand.
00:24:57And now fighting out into the WWE universe.
00:25:02You mentioned it before.
00:25:03McDonough can be absolutely ruthless when the time calls for it.
00:25:08Well, he loves to punish his opponents.
00:25:11Gets it.
00:25:12Oh, man!
00:25:13Right into that equipment case.
00:25:14And that drops McDonough to the floor.
00:25:21He sort of felt that something like this was coming, Corey, over the past number of months with everything these
00:25:26two have been through.
00:25:27No, you're right.
00:25:28It seemed inevitable.
00:25:29Oh!
00:25:30And now Balor into the same case.
00:25:32But you have to understand the magnitude of this rivalry.
00:25:34Like, to your point, McDonough was Finn Balor's greatest product.
00:25:38His student, for lack of a better term.
00:25:42And to have the dagger plunged into your back by your star pupil has to hurt Balor.
00:25:48Well, you know, McDonough would not be here today without Balor.
00:25:53Now Balor now in trouble as J.D. McDonough has climbed up on the top of that equipment area there.
00:26:01Wow!
00:26:01And a moonsault to Balor.
00:26:04Both men down on the floor.
00:26:08Balor and McDonough.
00:26:09This street fight continues.
00:26:12Holy shit!
00:26:13Holy shit!
00:26:14Holy shit!
00:26:15Holy shit!
00:26:19Holy shit!
00:26:24One of the things we've learned about J.D. McDonough, Corey, is he throws caution into the wind.
00:26:29Does whatever it takes to win.
00:26:32That's the hallmark of a great superstar.
00:26:34That's what J.D. McDonough wants out of his career.
00:26:37He wants to be spoken of in the same breath, at the same level, as Finn Balor, as Dominic Mysterio.
00:26:43Hell, as Roman Reigns, as John Cena.
00:26:46J.D. McDonough didn't enter this industry to be mediocre.
00:26:49He wants to be the best of the best.
00:26:51Well, you know, I've said before, Corey, this man is a future champion in WWE.
00:26:58And now J.D. McDonough has Balor exactly where he wants him.
00:27:05A look of absolute disdain in the eyes of the Irish ace.
00:27:10And now Balor face down on our announce table and bounced into the table by McDonough.
00:27:15I thought he was looking at you.
00:27:18And now Balor again bounced face first off the table.
00:27:21And J.D. McDonough with that viciousness taking the fight to his former mentor.
00:27:28Again, the official is only here to count the pinfall or the tap out.
00:27:34All this completely legal.
00:27:36No count outs, no disqualification.
00:27:37And Balor now sweeps the leg of McDonough, wipes him out on the table.
00:27:43I think Finn may have avoided disaster in that moment.
00:27:46I don't know if J.D. is going to be so lucky.
00:27:49And now Balor teeing off with the kendo sticks to McDonough.
00:27:55I mean, this has got to eat Balor up inside after everything he's done for McDonough in his career.
00:28:00I think up until this point I would agree with you, Michael Cole.
00:28:03But this is catharsis for Finn Balor.
00:28:05This is Balor with the ability and the opportunity to exercise a demon from his life.
00:28:11Hey, look at this now.
00:28:12McDonough grabbing the camera cable, wrapping it around the leg of Balor.
00:28:16How ingenious is this?
00:28:20Oh!
00:28:21And Balor lands on the back of his neck.
00:28:25J.D. McDonough with a cerebral move there.
00:28:35You can almost feel the confidence of J.D. McDonough growing as this match progresses.
00:28:41Balor is hurt badly on the outside.
00:28:46And now McDonough doing a little construction of his own.
00:28:53Tending that table up in the corner.
00:28:56Balor just trying to drag himself back into the fight here.
00:29:01Balor is exhausted, physically spent.
00:29:18What an extremely physical battle here tonight.
00:29:21A street fight on Monday Night Raw between Finn Balor, formerly of the Judgment Day, and J.D. McDonough.
00:29:29And down goes McDonough.
00:29:32Finn trying to claw his way back into this street fight.
00:29:36You see the table set up in the corner.
00:29:38Completely legal.
00:29:40No disqualifications.
00:29:41No count outs.
00:29:42You win via pinfall or submission.
00:29:44And Balor now with a chair to the midsection.
00:29:46And the spine of McDonough.
00:29:52And Balor now showing a mean streak.
00:30:01We saw at WrestleMania the depths to which Balor is willing to sink.
00:30:07Yes.
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:09Yes.
00:30:09And Balor went underneath and McDonough plants it.
00:30:12Wow.
00:30:13Moonsault by McDonough.
00:30:15What a maneuver.
00:30:16And Balor kicks out at two.
00:30:19J.D. McDonough with a moonsault to Finn Balor.
00:30:23Watch this.
00:30:24Picture perfect in the midst of brutality.
00:30:29Beautiful standing moonsault.
00:30:31Next level athleticism from the Irish ace.
00:30:34This is awesome.
00:30:36This is awesome.
00:30:39This is awesome.
00:30:40Greensboro appreciating what they're seeing out of both of these athletes.
00:30:43Balor prevents himself from going through the table.
00:30:46And there's a swing blade to McDonough.
00:30:50And now Finn upping his intensity.
00:30:53Finding his footing again.
00:30:56And drives McDonough through the table.
00:31:00That table disintegrated under the weight of J.D.
00:31:05Who also finds himself very close to a certain drop zone, Cole.
00:31:11And I think that's what Finn has in mind.
00:31:16Balor climbing up to the top rope.
00:31:21Went for the coup de grace to J.D. McDonough.
00:31:24Rolled out a hole.
00:31:26Bicycou knee by McDonough.
00:31:28And now McDonough with Balor up and down.
00:31:31Stacks him up for the cover.
00:31:33Balor's got to kick it too.
00:31:34An almost Gunther-esque powerbomb into the pin attempt by the Irish ace.
00:31:40But not enough to keep Finn down for three.
00:31:43And now J.D. McDonough could be closing in on a massive win in his career.
00:31:52McDonough headed up to the top rope.
00:31:54Looking for a top rope moonsault.
00:31:55Able to connect.
00:31:56Hooks the leg.
00:31:57On Balor.
00:31:57Who's got a kick out of two and air fall.
00:32:02McDonough can't allow himself to get frustrated.
00:32:05We are deep into this street fight.
00:32:08Everything McDonough has thrown at Balor has hurt very badly.
00:32:12But none of it has put Finn away.
00:32:16And now the back of J.D. McDonough.
00:32:19That welts cuts.
00:32:21Ugh.
00:32:22The damage done by Balor.
00:32:24And now McDonough gonna drag out yet another table.
00:32:29As much punishment as Finn Balor can take.
00:32:32J.D. McDonough is more than happy to supply.
00:32:36Yeah, we've seen this man put himself through an extraordinary amount of punishment in his career.
00:32:46J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D.
00:32:55McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J
00:32:57.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough!
00:32:57J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D. McDonough! J.D.
00:33:08McDonough! J.D. J
00:33:12and JD says that's it McDonough again heading up to the top rope Balor though
00:33:18it's gonna beat him there JD took a high risk once too often till this juncture
00:33:25the moonsault had served McDonough very well in this battle and now it's
00:33:29Balor with McDonough thrown on the table Balor gonna climb up top and look who's
00:33:36here Dirty Dom Dominic Mysterio JD's judgment game brother and and again it's
00:33:44all legal and now McDonough's taken over
00:33:50and McDonough superplex through the table incredible but can McDonough capitalize
00:34:00crawling dragging himself trying to cover Balor here
00:34:07and Balor gets the shoulder up at two and a half
00:34:11Dirty Dom can't believe it as we look once again at the superplex through the table
00:34:19JD McDonough finding out exactly what Balor's made of tonight
00:34:28and now Dirty Dom looking for something underneath the ring again the official
00:34:33can do nothing about Mysterio being out here and what you just a few minutes ago asking
00:34:38why JD would want to align himself with like somebody like Dirty Dom this is why
00:34:45make a good garbage man as he dumps the trash cans into the ring
00:34:56Dom just passed the can to JD and a double team coming now this is turned into a two-on
00:35:02-one assault
00:35:05oh gosh
00:35:10and again the official powerless to stop this attack as JD holds Balor down oh wait oh
00:35:20Finn turned the tables Dominic with a 6-1-9 and McDonough trash can off the skull
00:35:35McDonough's gonna grimace after that
00:35:39and now Balor out to the apron
00:35:45McDonough defenseless
00:35:48Cuda Gras to the trash can to McDonough
00:35:56Bower
00:35:57Bower wins
00:36:01Big Bower
00:36:04What a fight
00:36:07It was a war between Bower and JD McDonough
00:36:22But in the end Finn Bower with sweet sweet revenge
00:36:26In the last possible moment Bower would put JD McDonough in harm's way
00:36:31deliver a trash can shot to the mega champion and it was all downhill for the Irish ace after that
00:36:39the exclamation point the coup de grace through the trash can
00:36:45would finally put McDonough down for three is the score settled for good only time will tell
00:36:52but tonight belongs to Finn Balor
00:36:56What a performance by JD McDonough tonight
00:37:01But in the end Balor rules in this street fight
00:37:08Tough night tough way to start the night for the judgment day
00:37:12you know tonight's phrase what a was used you called it earlier what a maneuver
00:37:19anyway the what a slam has been triggered use code what a slam on door dash to get ten dollars
00:37:24off orders of twenty five dollars or more terms apply
00:37:28You're welcome well things pretty much cut and dry there with Finn Balor the victory over JD McDonough
00:37:33However, things aren't quite cut and dry when it comes to Seth Rollins and the street profits in the vision
00:37:39Let's take it back to a six-man tag last week here on raw
00:37:42That was joe hendry and the street profits
00:37:45Against the vision and rollins would prevent brawn breaker from delivering a spear opening the door for angelo dawkins to
00:37:53steal the win by pinning austin theory
00:37:56Unfortunately as brawn breaker attempted to take rollins out with another spear
00:38:00Dawkins was caught in the line of fire which then drew the ire of montez fort
00:38:06You're not to be trusted
00:38:08We don't need your ass to win the tag team championships bet on that
00:38:20Guys i am backstage with seth rollins
00:38:26And seth your issues with brawn breaker led to angelo dawkins catching a stray spear last week
00:38:32Do you think it's wise to continue pursuing battles with the vision knowing that it's creating even more friction between
00:38:38yourself and other superstars?
00:38:40Kathy wise
00:38:42I don't know about wise, but I do know a few things
00:38:46I know that I am a marked man
00:38:49I know that I have absolutely zero allies
00:38:54But I also know that sooner rather than later I have to put an end to the vision
00:39:03And I've been spinning my wheels
00:39:06Spinning my wheels thinking about the best way to do that
00:39:09And what has occurred to me is that sometimes the easiest way out of a situation is to run right
00:39:17through it
00:39:20You know what else I know
00:39:23I haven't had a match on monday night raw
00:39:27In about nine months
00:39:32And I think we should change that
00:39:35Right here tonight in greensboro north carolina
00:39:40Because adam pierce has given me the main event tonight and with that main event
00:39:46I have a very
00:39:48direct
00:39:49Challenge to make to the vision
00:39:53Any member of the vision one of them two of them three of them all of them
00:39:57I don't give a damn
00:39:58I'll fight any of them
00:40:01Kathy you know who I'd really like to see answer that challenge
00:40:06It's a guy who thinks he's ready
00:40:10But he's not
00:40:12The guy who says he can beat me on his own
00:40:18But can't
00:40:21Braun breaker
00:40:26Who are you really?
00:40:28Who are you really?
00:40:30Are you
00:40:33Just a nepo baby that can't hack it
00:40:38Are you an athlete it just turns into some wad of wasted potential
00:40:45Or are you everything
00:40:48That you say you are
00:40:52This is your chance bra
00:40:55Main event tonight monday night raw
00:40:58Show me
00:41:00Who you really are
00:41:04Well, you heard seth rollins a challenge has been issued to the vision
00:41:11Well will breaker step up to the plate and who will step up to the plate against this man the
00:41:17ruler over femmy with an open challenge
00:41:21live tonight
00:41:42I
00:41:42I was very shy
00:41:44A year into being in america
00:41:46I got to the point mentally where I was like I need to change things up
00:41:50My mindset
00:41:51To be the best
00:41:54Sometimes what works for other people doesn't work for you
00:41:56Sometimes you have to find your own road because I'm not getting anywhere being this fake version of myself
00:42:03Rio Ripley has made history
00:42:07Becoming the inaugural nxt uk women's champion was absolutely insane and
00:42:13Went down that wild path of becoming nxt women's champion and it meant the world to me
00:42:23The most important lesson that I have from nxt would probably be
00:42:27Letting myself live through the person that I am meant to be and letting that come out on screen as
00:42:33well as in my everyday life
00:42:35I not only
00:42:36Learned about the business and what i'm stepping into but I also learned who I am as a person from
00:42:42the origins of nxt to champion
00:42:47Well, i'm hoping me being here. I can like inspire all the young girls in the world watching wwe
00:42:52I really want to just inspire them the most

00:45:17best women in this business now i know i haven't won yet but i'm still new i've only been doing
00:45:24this for like
00:45:24four years and i've already made a huge statement and i put the locker room on notice

00:45:50future if you

00:46:27it is byron
00:46:31and soul ruka said she was leaving but didn't realize she was coming out here
00:46:36i was kind of hoping saxton would leave no chance look at it has been quite the start to the
00:46:48career
00:46:49of this young woman here in wwe taking the world champ live morgan to the limit
00:47:00but becky did raise a valid point if you're 0-2 to start your career it's tough to get excited
00:47:06particularly if you're management
00:47:11all right all right i'm just gonna cut to the chase because there's no point in doing this back there
00:47:16so i'm gonna do it right now in front of you guys becky hey girl

00:48:13look i i know you think that i should just run back to nxt scared and that i don't belong

01:05:30bruto whipped into the turnbuckle here comes americano running open and palm strike
01:05:40and pledge allegiance michael cole
01:05:45i don't think the og is going to do that
01:05:48the original entirely sold that the og even knows the words to the mexican national anthem
01:06:05this is a trios tornado match and right now in control el grande americano rio and bravo los
01:06:14americanos taking on the og americano is in the ring now and also the credo brothers
01:06:20the original able to roll through double clothesline takes down los americanos now the og what a toss
01:06:29and oh face first he goes and now the og the original el grande americano gathering momentum from behind it's
01:06:39bravo
01:06:41bravo trying to help to no avail look at this are you kidding me unbelievable power from the
01:06:47original el grande americano
01:06:51i want to throw the og into the ropes cover by the original is it enough no breaking things up
01:06:59is bravo
01:07:01and this is so unique because in mexico the original and the real americano
01:07:06forbidden from physical contact prior to the mask versus mask match this is a preview in international
01:07:12territory superplex look at bruto credo a moonsault
01:07:20flying headbutt from the og for the win no just breaking things up is raya
01:07:33this has been absolute chaos since the opening bell a moonsault from bruto credo followed immediately
01:07:41by a diving headbutt by the original and ryo americano keeps the matchup alive for his team
01:07:50now julio credo making the climb to the high rent district it's amazing men this size
01:07:57pulling off this athleticism but that didn't pay off
01:08:02shoulder first to the post goes bruto here comes americano that sliding drop kick dropping him to the
01:08:11floor and now the original outnumbered three to one in the ring
01:08:20now all three of them have a medal place
01:08:25this is brilliant
01:08:31i think the og realizes what's going on here
01:08:36if not he is in trouble trying to fight back here
01:08:42able to avoid the headbutts double collision for most americanos
01:08:47trying to power up americano is the original here come the credo three germans
01:08:55there are no germans in the ring cole looking at six mexicans
01:09:04oh my god what the hell are these maniacs thinking now

01:09:29what a matchup as confused as we all may be there is no denying this is awesome trios tornado matchup
01:09:39and now ryo americano in all types of trouble as bruto in the original mount the ropes again yeah but
