00:11Then, now, forever.
00:35On this Memorial Day holiday in the United States, we are live tonight on the campus of The Ohio State
00:43University.
00:44This is Monday Night Raw. We are live on Netflix and presented by DoorDash.
00:57Paul Heyman in the center of the ring, the kickoff Monday Night Raw tonight.
01:01As we look forward to this coming Sunday, Turin, Italy, Clash in Italy.
01:06Two o'clock start of the East Coast of the States, 11 o'clock on the West Coast.
01:10Eight locals, Brock Lesnar, Obafemi, the WrestleMania rematch, Sunday.
01:27Ladies and gentlemen.
01:37Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
01:43Number one, let's get this part out of the way.
01:46Welcome to Monday Night Raw.
01:53Item number two, I am here tonight to hype you on a match that needs no hype.
02:03This Sunday, the biggest rematch, not just in WWE history, but in all the professional wrestling.
02:29Ladies and gentlemen, when I have a microphone in my hands, please shut the hell up.
02:43The biggest rematch in WWE in all of professional wrestling history.
02:50This Sunday, Clash in Italy, when Obafemi
03:00steps into the ring to be conquered by the beast incarnate, Barack Leicester.
03:16I didn't quite get the chance to congratulate you last week on your big victory over me at WrestleMania.
03:24Congratulations, Oba.
03:26Well done.
03:27But that victory is gonna cost you more than you could ever imagine.
03:35Now, I've had my share of ass whoopings over the years, but none quite like that.
03:42It was humbling.
03:45You beat my ass at WrestleMania so bad.
03:49I said, that's it.
03:52I'm done.
04:02But that doesn't sit very well with me, Oba.
04:06It's not gonna end that way, Oba Femi.
04:12Brock Lesnar can take an ass whooping, but can you?
04:35You're gonna get your ass kicked by a humbled, retired beast.
04:41Brock Lesnar will conquer Oba Femi.
04:51I am gonna rule over Oba Femi.
05:05The good news is that everyone watching will have a chance this Sunday to see history play
05:15out in real time in front of your very eyes.
05:20The bad news for everyone that worships Oba Femi is that Oba Femi has awakened the beast.
05:34Oba Femi has awakened the beast.
05:45Brock Lesnar, which means one thing.
05:52Game of a dream.

14:20able to retain the man who is captivated wwe fans around the globe
14:34that has become something of a real life superhero a true rags to riches story
14:39now the reigning intercontinental champion
14:57it is amazing the things that this man can do in the ring
15:06i'm curious to see how much gas is left in the tank of the intercontinental champion
15:12coming off of a grueling title defense like penta had saturday night well also he's going
15:17up against a competitor that is the polar opposite of the man that penta met saturday night
15:22and ethan page well luckily for penta penta's skill set lies somewhere in between penta's not afraid to
15:30plant his feet and throw hands much like he's not afraid to climb the ropes and fly through the skies
15:35the guys living with sarah miedel
15:47yo boy is
16:03The young OG, Javon Evans seeking his first championship in W.W.A.
16:12Corey, we've said for a long time now that this man is going to be a future champion.
16:17You have to wonder if tonight is the night.
16:20It very well may be, and it absolutely is.
16:23If you ask the young OG, all smiles from ear to ear.
16:31What a moment for that young fan.
16:40Clash in Italy.
16:41This Sunday is presented by Riyadh Season.
16:45The ultimate entertainment festival with live shows, sports, food, fashion, and theme parks.
16:51October through March, perfect for all ages.
16:55So Penta, yet again, will defend the Intercontinental Championship.
17:0048 hours ago, a spectacular win in a match against All Ego, Ethan Page.
17:05Tonight, Corey, 48 hours later, he takes on a man.
17:09The polar opposite of Page in the ring.
17:11The young OG.
17:12Come on, Evans.
17:14Buckle up and keep your eyes on the skies tonight.
17:18The young OG certainly going to push the pace, look to take things to the air where he is most
17:23comfortable.
17:24Unfortunately for Javon, Penta unafraid to take it high risk as well.
17:29This is going to be an interesting clash of styles, but no doubt about it, a memorable Intercontinental Championship match
17:35moments away.
18:05Let's head up to the ring.
18:06Weigh in at 195 pounds, Javon Evans.
18:16Yeah!
18:18And his opponent, from I, Catapec, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos.
18:28He is the Intercontinental Champion, Penta!
18:40The official in this matchup tonight, Eddie Arango, and it is for the prestigious Intercontinental Title.
18:47Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held this gold ever since it became a force in 1979.
18:56The late, great Pat Patterson, the first ever Intercontinental Champion.
19:00And now we get underway with Penta and Javon Evans.
19:03Corey, Javon Evans has never won a singles championship here in WWE.
19:07It's still young in his career.
19:08He's got plenty of time to get there, but he's got to be putting some pressure on himself.
19:12No doubt about it, but what we've seen recently from Javon Evans is the fact that his youthful indiscretion is
19:17arguably his best tool.
19:19Much like Penta competes with zero fear, so does Javon Evans.
19:23Case in point!
19:24Looking for the OG cutter off the opening bell!
19:26Yeah, but a great counter by Penta that time.
19:28And now Javon Evans sends Penta into the corner!
19:31Javon has got to be respectful of the fact that Penta does have the experience advantage in this matchup.
19:36And look at Javon, though, landing on his feet off the Hurricanrana, much to the surprise of Penta.
19:43Penta may be slightly unfamiliar with competing against superstars with similar skill sets to his own,
19:48that being Javon Evans, a great high flyer.
19:51Well, to your point, this is the first time these two have ever gone one-on-one in their career.
19:55Of course, they were part of that big six-pack ladder match challenge for the Intercontinental title,
20:00won by Penta at WrestleMania.
20:04Changing a series of leg sweeps and a standoff in the early moments of this matchup
20:10that has banger written all over it.
20:13So if you're Penta, how do you keep the Intercontinental title tonight?
20:19Show respect there by Evans.
20:22What was that?
20:23Nate, this is exactly, I was gonna say Penta should have done that exact same thing,
20:27but OG, one step ahead.
20:30And now Penta's set across the ring and outside.
20:34And Javon Evans said, gotta do what I gotta do.
20:37We outside!
20:38And taking Penta out.
20:42Javon Evans, to me, showed some growth there in the way that he attacked Penta after the handshake.
20:47I think Evans, in that instance, may have fooled the Intercontinental champion.
20:52I was expecting Penta to rely on his experience.
20:55And a superkick catches Evans right under the chin.
20:57And Penta now, no more playing games with this dude.
21:00And there's a big step up in Zigguri by the champion.
21:03And Penta's a superstar who wakes up in the morning for competition.
21:06The man lives for the fight.
21:09Night after night, no matter who the opponent.
21:12Cover here, hooks the far leg.
21:13Is it enough?
21:14And a kick out by Evans at two.
21:17Come on!
21:20Again, you have to wonder what Penta's mental state and physical state is after having to defend the title in
21:27a great matchup this past Saturday.
21:29I'm sure mentally, Penta's on top of the world after getting past Ethan Page this past Saturday.
21:34Unfortunately, that could be detrimental to the champion, because Penta needs to remain focused on the task at hand.
21:39That being Javon Evans.
21:41And a great fighting champion.
21:42Looking for the Penta driver, perhaps.
21:44Arm drag takedown by Evans.
21:47And boom!
21:48Who is outquicking Penta in the early going of this matchup?
21:52An unfamiliar territory for the champion.
21:55Used to having the speed advantage on his side.
21:57Such is not the case tonight.
21:59Evans going to take to the skies yet again.
22:02Javon with a suicide.
22:03Oh my goodness!
22:05Oh, he ain't getting up.
22:06Penta just drove Evans spine-first into the...
22:10Into the...
22:11Into the corner of the announce table.
22:13Of this announce table.
22:15Evans may have a broken back.
22:22You know, our official Eddie Arango's got to come out here and check on Javon Evans.
22:26Penta just hurled him into the side of our announce table, spine-first.
22:32And you can see Evans buckle.
22:33And that's one way to take the speed and the agility out of the equation for Evans.
22:37I'm absolutely shocked right now that Evans is back to a vertical base at all.
22:41Wouldn't have shocked me had Eddie Arango stopped the match.
22:46Gnarly landing for the challenger.
22:48But now Penta able to inflict his will on the young OG.
22:56Smart move by the champion, breaking the count.
22:58Penta wants to be an honorable fighting champion.
23:01He doesn't want to take a victory by count out or disqualification if he can at all help it.
23:07And now Penta launched into the timekeeper's area and Evans caught him with the right hand.
23:12And I want to see more of that out of Javon Evans.
23:15Plant your feet, throw your hands.
23:17He might as well knock out Penta if he wants to win tonight.
23:21Whatever gives you the best chance to leave Columbus with the Intercontinental gold.
23:26You can see the focus in the eyes of the young OG who's picking up speed.
23:31Javon Evans now around the ring.
23:33Full speed ahead.
23:34Whoa!
23:34Passes himself into Penta, into the timekeeper's area, and into the front row.
23:42Absolutely incredible.
23:44And Corey, one of the things I noticed a few moments ago is that trademark smile.
23:48No longer on the face of Javon Evans.
23:50It's all business tonight against Penta.
23:52You're absolutely right.
23:54Javon realized he may have spoiled his best chance for victory, taking a risk that did not pay off.
23:59Penta countered, launched Evans into our table, and Javon realized this is reality.
24:05This is an Intercontinental Championship match.
24:13And the official Eddie Arango
24:18at a count of five now for these two men, letting a little bit
24:23go here tonight in this championship match-up.
24:26Eddie has a great deal of respect for the Intercontinental Championship and
24:29what it means to all these competitors.
24:31No one wants to win it in any other fashion than convincing.
24:35And they just beat the count.
24:37Wow!
24:37Remember, Evans has got to Penta submit Penta tonight.
24:40Champion's advantage in this match-up.
24:43Again, to that point, while champion's advantage is in effect, each and every time
24:47Penta defends his gold, Penta wants to win with honor.
24:50He wants to win decisively.
24:54Evans wants to win any way he can.
24:56And that's got to be the mentality of the young OG tonight.
24:58Maybe bend a rule.
25:00Maybe pull out a different trick out of your bag.
25:12Cover and a kick out by Penta.
25:13But then somehow, folks, Javon Evans, after being slammed into the announce table,
25:18spine first, and we'll take another look at it, Evans somehow still on his feet.
25:23Well, the adrenaline pulsing through the body up to the body,
25:27who suffered this near disaster, and then somehow was able to rally in spectacular fashion,
25:34launching himself and Penta all the way into the front row of the WWE Universe.
25:39And now Evans starting to pick up the pace, springboard clothesline, got a two and a half count.
25:45Penta was reeling from him.
25:46And Corey, one of the things we talked about a few moments ago is that trademark smile,
25:49no longer on the face of Javon Evans, a look of intensity tonight
25:52as he tries to win his first championship in WWE.
25:55Reality has kicked in for the young OG, and now a little battle of Quienes Mas Macho
26:02in the middle of the ring.
26:03Come on, chill!
26:06Dueling Piratazzo, those strong overhand strikes made famous in Mexico.
26:11Give me two!
26:12Come on!
26:13Evans was begging and he got knocked off his feet.
26:16Speaking of Mexico, this coming Saturday night, Noche de los Grandes,
26:21Americano versus Americano, mask versus mask.
26:24There can only be one, the highest of stakes in Lucha Libre.
26:28And a bicycle knee from Evans, brilliant decision.
26:32Springboard, caught him, new champion!
26:34Here's the cover, hook of the leg on Penta, and a kick out!
26:38That springboard cutter by Evans almost put Penta away.
26:42Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, flying blind, OG Cutter takes down Penta.
26:50Unfortunately for Evans, he wasn't able to get all of his weight across the shoulders of the champion.
26:55That could have made all the difference.
26:57And Evans now has to stay focused, can't get frustrated.
27:00Penta learned so much about this man over the past year and a half,
27:03resilience and heart of the champion.
27:05And look at this now, Evans in trouble.
27:08Penta, oh!
27:09Backstabber, cover now by Penta.
27:12To retain the championship, hooks the leg, and a kick out by Evans at two.
27:17Penta showing that he's got such an incredibly high in-ring IQ.
27:21Javon Evans used a very similar maneuver a few minutes ago in this matchup.
27:25Penta recognized it, realized it, encountered it in the blink of an eye.
27:29And now Penta calling for the Mexican Destroyer,
27:31the move that knocked off Ethan Page Saturday night,
27:34but he runs into a kick to the face by Evans.
27:39What does Javon Evans have to do to knock off the champion?
27:44I guarantee you in the front of the young OG's mind, it's avoid the Mexican Destroyer.
27:48I guarantee you that's what Javon's strategy is entering tonight.
27:54But what other tricks does the young OG have in his bag?
28:00I think we're about to get an answer.
28:03Evans launching himself off the second.
28:05Penta, my goodness!
28:08Tough to tell who got the worst of that exchange.
28:11The lower back once again of Javon Evans.
28:14Yeah, he's still smarting from the announce table collision earlier on.
28:18Smarting, hell, he's damn near crippled.
28:20Evans now, cover.
28:21Hook of the leg again, and the champion kicks out at two and a half.
28:26Take another look at this.
28:28Javon Evans executing an OG cutter.
28:31Penta did his best to mitigate the impact,
28:34attempting to fall to his hips rather than his face.
28:36It was effective enough.
28:38I'm curious what the state of Javon Evans' lower back is
28:42after two of the worst impacts I've seen recently.
28:45Jam-packed tonight.
28:47Schottenstein Center, Columbus, Ohio.
28:50Intercontinental Championship springboard again this time.
28:52Evans got caught by Penta.
28:54Penta looking for the Penta.
28:55And he hits it!
28:56Is it enough to put him away and retain the title?
28:59Kick out at two by Evans!
29:03This is a testament to the guts and the grit of the young OG.
29:08Evans no doubt feeling frustration at this juncture of the match.
29:12But Javon understands the opportunity before him.
29:15Yeah, but that's how Penta plays.
29:17He gets in your mind.
29:18He frustrates you.
29:19You think you got him, and then Penta pulls it out.
29:22And the champ now, heading up to the top rope.
29:25Javon Evans back to his feet as well.
29:27You see him still favoring the lower back.
29:33Evans looking to join Penta on the top turnbuckle.
29:38Penta knocking Evans down into the ring.
29:42Here comes Evans now.
29:44Oh, my goodness!
29:45Leaping up to the top rope.
29:48Oh, my goodness!
29:51Javon Evans could be closing in on his first title.
29:54Here he comes!
29:55OG Cutter!
29:57Intercepted by Penta!
29:58Penta with a kick, intercepting the OG Cutter.
30:01Evans with a knee.
30:03This is insanity.
30:05Penta was going for the Mexican driver.
30:09Backstabber!
30:10Cutter into the backstabber.
30:12And Penta now, Mexican destroyer.
30:14Dumps Evans in the back of his head.
30:17Cover now by the champ.
30:19Penta retains.
30:20What a match.
30:22Here is your winner, and still, the Intercontinental Champion, Penta!
30:32If I can borrow a phrase from my friends in AAA, esto es lucha.
30:38This is wrestling.
30:40What a match.
30:43From the opening bell, the fireworks started and did not end until the finale.
30:48What an effort by both superstars, leaving it all in the squared circle.
30:55But in the end, Penta had the OG Cutter scouted and delivered a Mexican destroyer.
31:04A hell of a fight from the young OG, and still.
31:10What a champion, Penta, has become.
31:15Two title defenses in 48 hours.
31:20And a great show of respect from the champion to the young challenger, Javon Evans.
31:30Javon Evans, obviously upset and frustrated after what happened here tonight.
31:36Not able to win the gold.
31:39But Penta retains here on Raw.
31:42Well, ladies and gentlemen, this coming Sunday, we head to Turin, Italy.
31:47For Clash in Italy, the first ever premium live event in the history of Italy.
31:52It all gets underway with the countdown show, noon on the East Coast, nine on the West Coast, both hours,
31:59ESPN.
32:00And then Clash in Italy, 8 o'clock local in Turin, 2 o'clock on the East Coast, 11 o
32:05'clock on the West Coast, the first hour on ESPN.
32:08And, of course, the entire thing is internationally on Netflix.
32:12But, man, Penta has turned into quite the fighting champion.
32:15That was an absolutely incredible way to kick off the night here on Monday Night Raw.
32:19Saturday Night's fan event this past Saturday.
32:21We have breaking news now.
32:22Logan Paul suffered a torn triceps and will be out for a number of months during that World Tag Team
32:29Championship match division against the Street Profits.
32:33It was an incredible effort by Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
32:38Angelo Dawkins taking it high risk.
32:40This right here is what caused the injury to Logan Paul.
32:43You can see Logan immediately grasping at his left arm.
32:46Best wishes to the Maverick.
32:58Hey.
33:02I, uh, I don't even know what to do with this.
33:07Did I just give it to you?
33:09Why would you give it to me?
33:11What do you mean, Paul?
33:12I don't have Logan.
33:14He's hurt.
33:17Logan Paul knows better than anyone else this ain't ballet.
33:20And when you and Logan Paul became the tag team champions, I put in every contract the vision defending the
33:27tag team titles.
33:28That means any member of the vision teaming with any member of the vision of my choice.
33:34Which means you are going to be the tag team champion with, oh, I don't know, off the top of
33:40my head, Braun Breaker.
33:44And I expect the two of you to defend those titles with honor and dignity and the greatness involved.
33:50Thank you, man.
33:52I didn't know what was going to happen, Wise Man.
33:56Let's go.
33:57You're welcome.
33:59I did this for you.
34:01Because I believe in you.
34:03Because I wanted this for you.
34:07Yeah.
34:07Well, I want to do something for Logan.
34:10Oh, man, what do you want to do?
34:11Yeah.
34:12Every single person that was involved with hurting him, I want to take him out.
34:20You know, I'm glad you feel that way, because I think now you know what you have to do tonight,
34:29and more importantly, to whom.
34:53Say his name because he has appeared in Columbus.
35:02Now, we like to have fun at work.
35:04We have arenas all over the world chanting, we believe.
35:18But every so often, we get a reminder that it's not just all fun and games, like Saturday night's main
35:25event, when Logan Paul suffered an injury.
35:33It reminded me of the old phrase that, yes, this is entertainment, but the hazards are real.
35:41No matter who you are, whatever you do, please don't try this.
35:46But the question is, should Logan feel down?
35:52Well, I'd have to say, Joe says no.
35:57And the reason is, music truly is the best medicine.
36:03So I wrote this song to cheer Logan up during this difficult time.
36:13Logan, I'm sorry for everything I've said
36:19I know you can hear me from your hospital bed
36:26So take your medicine and drink your prime
36:34Take a vacation, you'll be healed in no time
36:40The world has a message
36:43I hope you can hear us all
36:47We're sorry that you're hurting
36:51But we don't want you back at all
36:58Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
37:03Paul, Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
37:10He's one amazing athlete
37:14But he's a piece of trash
37:17He can shove his trading cards directly up his hall
37:26Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
37:33Paul, Paul, Paul
37:43The first ever premium live event to be held in Italy
37:48High stakes, high pressure
37:52This is what we Paul must see
38:07Paul, Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
38:14All together
38:15Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
38:24Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
38:29Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
38:35All together
38:36Paul, Paul, can we fire, look at Paul
38:48Wait a minute, Thierry with a steel chair from behind attacking Henry
38:56And Austin Thierry on a mission
38:58Thierry, a few moments ago that he was gonna avenge Logan Paul's injury
39:05With everyone that ever tried to hurt him
39:07And I guess he's starting with Joe Haley
39:09He's a tie
39:11Keep his name
39:23Austin Thierry on a mission tonight per Paul Heyman
39:28Look into a fence, Logan
39:30Oh my God
39:32Somebody get medical out here, like now
39:37Thierry get away
39:40Get back, get him back
39:42Thierry under pressure, of course, with the injury to Paul
39:46Learned earlier tonight he's gonna be a tag champ at Vaughn Breaker
39:49But it's one thing to be feeling the pressure, but Austin Thierry just crossed the line
40:05Yo, Docs
40:06What's good, fam?
40:11Look, man, I'm not trying to start anything, but I did exactly what Tez asked me to do on Saturday.
40:17I stayed out of y'all's business
40:19I just came here to say sorry
40:21I know what it feels like to get screwed over by the vision
40:25With Logan Paul gone, we got an opportunity, man
40:30We got an opportunity because the vision is the weakest they've ever been
40:33But they are also the most dangerous they have ever been
40:35You saw that, you saw what theory just did to Joe Hendry out there, man
40:38I have never seen that side of theory
40:41We come together, we can put an end to the vision for
40:46For good
40:48For good
40:49For good
40:50For good
40:51How many times we gotta keep doing this, man?
40:53Are we still doing this Seth Rollins Redemption art story?
40:55Is that what we're doing?
40:57Hey, hey, I'm right here.
40:59It's cool.
41:00You got something to say?
41:02Am I speaking in a different language or something?
41:04Talk to me.
41:04Nothing good happens when he's around.
41:06Yeah, we're still running that.
41:07Nothing good happens when he's around.
41:08Nothing good happens.
41:11Nothing good happens when I'm not around.
41:14Otherwise, the two of you would be standing here tag team champions right now.
41:21Bro.
41:22We do not have to like each other.
41:24When this is all over, we don't have to be friends.
41:28Doesn't have to be kumbaya.
41:29All we gotta do is work together to get rid of the vision.
41:38And this whole idea that nothing good happens around me.
41:40I understand why you don't trust me.
41:42But understand this.
41:43Only one of us in this circle has main event at WrestleMania.
41:48Only one of us in this circle is a multi-time world champion.
41:53And it ain't you.
41:56But you know what, Seth?
41:58You know what's one thing I've never done?
41:59What's that?
42:00Stab my brother in the back.
42:01Because I am my brother's keeper.
42:03As a matter of fact, we're all your brothers.
42:05But you know what?
42:06We do agree upon one thing.
42:08That's that we both think we're the best.
42:10How about tonight in this beautiful city of Columbus?
42:16You show them exactly who's the best.
42:20That a challenge.
42:22Your boy wants me to beat some sense into you.
42:24No, no, no.
42:25You want me to beat some sense into you.
42:26We can try.
42:27We can try.
42:28Challenge accepted.
42:28I'm gonna get changed.
42:29I'll see you in the ring tonight.

48:08What is Dominic's obsession with me?
48:11He can't stand you. He's offended by your existence.
48:14He just blew me a kiss.
48:15I didn't think he was trying to blow you a kiss goodbye,
48:17hoping you would take the hint.
48:21Important matchup tonight for-
48:22I think Liv's trying to get your attention.
48:25He doesn't like you either.

51:39the closing moments after the championship was introduced and nearly connected with bre's
51:44forehead bre was able to roll up roxanne and steal a win thus retaining the gold unfortunately for the

53:04to dethrone the champs well bailey and lyra and i was speaking to bailey a bit earlier on today she
53:08admits they haven't been that successful as a team but a win tonight gets them back on track cover to
53:14kick out
53:15if i were bailey i'd send lyra through the barbershop window gotta cut the dead weight
53:21lyra could do the same debate correct and what a shot by roxanne into the corner tag made
53:26by raquel rodriguez can you hand me some of that perel dominic mysterio just put gum that he was
53:33chewing in his mouth on the back of my paperwork you're kidding me you put that on marketplace you
53:37probably get a fortune for that now look at bailey now coming away on raquel rodriguez doing what they
53:43have to do keep her isolated in the corner and double team tag now by lyra and lyra valkyria
53:50this is a smart strategy by bailey and lyra you've got a powerhouse like raquel you want to keep her
53:54isolated quick tags keeping the pressure competitor in this is classic solid tag team strategy
54:01also you got to give a bailey and lyra credit keeping one eye on a live morgan outside the ring
54:08here
54:08comes raquel oh what a cross body wiping out bailey and lyra that's the powerhouse of the judgment day
54:17and she can turn a match around just like that cory take another look at the impact raquel rodriguez
