00:00:45and monday night raw live tonight is presented by doordash
00:01:12ladies and gentlemen please welcome l
00:01:21okoria want to be if not the most outspoken superstars in wwe today no doubt about that
00:01:30la night is a man with a lot on his mind and unfortunately we won't have to wait long to
00:01:37find out exactly what it is la night will tell you how it is
00:01:45and doesn't care who he offends
00:01:57let's see
00:01:59Yeah!
00:02:42Let me talk to you.
00:02:46My God, it's been a minute since I've felt this.
00:02:50It's been a minute since I stood in front of this ring, in front of all y'all.
00:02:54It's been since WrestleMania.
00:03:02Actually, I'll tell you what, before I get to that, I just want to wish everybody out
00:03:05there a happy Memorial Day, especially every single one of our service members.
00:03:09I want to say thank you for your service.
00:03:18USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:03:27And right here in the USA, standing in this ring, L.A. Night.
00:03:32I told you, since WrestleMania, I put the vision in my rearview mirror, and who was standing
00:03:38beside me but Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso.
00:03:44But lately, since WrestleMania, I've noticed they've been doing things just a little bit different.
00:03:48And it's got me thinking, because next week, right here on Raw, the King and Queen of the Ring tournament
00:03:56begins, and I'm throwing my name in the hat.
00:04:02And what that means is I got a shot.
00:04:06I got a shot at wearing that crown, the King of the Ring, and when I get that, that means
00:04:11that I go on, I got the shot, then I'm aiming for that World Heavyweight title.
00:04:17I'm aiming for Roman Reigns.
00:04:24So, where's that put Jimmy and Jey Uso?
00:04:27Because I look at Roman Reigns, the most corrupt champion I've ever seen.
00:04:33All he's doing, trying to go ahead and stir up bloodline of old, trying to get some things running,
00:04:39just a little bit different than the Jimmy and Jey Uso that I knew.
00:04:45Jimmy and Jey Uso, Jey Uso, Jey Uso, Jey Uso.
00:05:30Now, I think you need to hear this from me.
00:05:34I got a lot of respect for you, man.
00:05:37All right?
00:05:37It was me, it was me that fought side-by-side with you at WrestleMania, me.
00:05:43Yes, you did.
00:05:44You did fight side-by-side with me.
00:05:46You fought side-by-side with me against the Vision.
00:05:48Why?
00:05:48Because the way they did things.
00:05:50And now watching you, you're fighting side-by-side with Roman Reigns,
00:05:53and it ain't the same.
00:05:54We're talking three-on-one.
00:05:56It's a little bit different.
00:05:57It just rubs me the wrong way.
00:05:58I've been a victim of every kind of group.
00:06:02You were too.
00:06:03I get it.
00:06:04I get it.
00:06:05Listen, I get it.
00:06:06I understand why you all up in your feelings about the bloodline, man.
00:06:09Hell, if I'm honest, that whole damn locker room got issues with the bloodline
00:06:13because those last couple of years got ugly for everybody.
00:06:18We did what we had to do, but it ain't like that no more.
00:06:23Hey, check it.
00:06:24You want to go after King of the Ring?
00:06:26Man, cool.
00:06:27Go do you.
00:06:28Hey, if I'm honest, if you win King of the Ring, man,
00:06:32you got a shot at the OTC, a fair shot.
00:06:36You hear me?
00:06:37Fair.
00:06:37Fair.
00:06:38Fair.
00:06:38I heard you say fair.
00:06:40I heard you say honest.
00:06:42But right now, I got to ask, are you being honest with me?
00:06:45But moreover, are you being honest with yourself?
00:06:51What I mean by that, you come out here, two-on-one, you're about to attack Jacob last week, all
00:06:59that stuff, and then I think to myself, okay, look, you, you're the one who comes out here
00:07:08and, what, Jay had a chair in his hand.
00:07:11You come out here, you're doing that whole thing, and you're telling me that it's going
00:07:14to be fair.
00:07:14You're telling me it's going to be honest.
00:07:15As far as I can tell, you're coming out here as a messenger.
00:07:18You're coming out here basically not even as the second fiddle to Roman Reigns, but the
00:07:23third fiddle.
00:07:24And the last thing I want to see you do is become Roman Reigns errand boy again.
00:07:32I'm saying with all respect, but you need to take a lesson from the past.
00:07:36Take it as a warning.
00:07:38This is a warning shot right now.
00:07:41Right now.
00:07:43I had enough of all this talk about what we, my brother, out here doing wrong.
00:07:47You're lucky that Yeet Man ain't here tonight.
00:07:49Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking.
00:07:51I'm lucky.
00:07:52Hey, you're proving my point right now, man.
00:07:54You're telling me that if Jey Uso was here right now, you two, you two would put the beat
00:07:58down on me.
00:07:59Two-on-one.
00:07:59And then guess what?
00:08:00Roman Reigns would probably run out here, too.
00:08:02Three-on-one.
00:08:03Just the same way you did it to Jacob Fox.
00:08:05Jacob got nothing to do with you, bruh.
00:08:08Zero.
00:08:09That's family business.
00:08:13If I were you, man, I'd tread really lightly.
00:08:16Because if you keep on disrespecting the OTC, our family will become your business.
00:08:40Jim, you're the one that I like.
00:08:42I think you kind of like me.
00:08:44I don't think you want it to go there.
00:08:46Even Jey I'm okay with.
00:08:48Roman is the one I didn't like then.
00:08:50I don't like now.
00:08:51He's a guy who just can't seem to get the job done on his own.
00:08:54He needed a Heyman.
00:08:56He needed you.
00:08:57He needed Jey.
00:08:58Why?
00:08:58Because he can't get the job done on his own.
00:09:01So what I'm telling you is if you're telling me I don't want it to come that, I know you
00:09:05don't want it to come that, but if the family business has to become my business, I will
00:09:09make sure that goes out of business.
00:09:11And take that message to your boy Roman and make sure you spell my name right with everybody
00:09:16saying L.A.
00:09:18Night.
00:09:19Yeah.
00:09:21L.A. Night with some strong words.
00:09:23Corey, a lot to think about for Jimmy Uso.
00:09:26No doubt about it.
00:09:27You can see the wheels turning in Jimmy Uso's head and L.A. Night as unapologetic as ever.
00:09:33I feel proud unless you make it for him.
00:09:35That's all I'm saying.
00:09:38Leave it to what it is.
00:09:39We can do this.
00:09:40How to go.
00:09:42Congratulations, Matt.
00:09:43Triple A job.
00:09:44One GM to one G-G.
00:09:46Canente.
00:09:46Canente.
00:09:47I love it.
00:09:48Hey, have you talked to Hunter?
00:09:49Because I have.
00:09:50He mentioned a little something about the Intercontinental title.
00:09:52Maybe you two.
00:09:53Which I love the idea.
00:09:54Oh.
00:09:54And I think that's blockbuster.
00:09:55Okay.
00:09:56And what exactly is going on here?
00:09:59This is a conversation.
00:10:00You know what?
00:10:01First, you gift Javon Evans a title match tonight.
00:10:04And now you're talking to a fellow general manager about a potential Intercontinental title
00:10:10match for him.
00:10:11Where's my rematch?
00:10:12First of all, you're putting it into a conversation that has nothing to do with you.
00:10:15And we are talking about a potential match for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:19And rematches have to be earned.
00:10:21Okay.
00:10:22And what exactly did he do to earn this match you're talking about?
00:10:26Trey, I apologize.
00:10:27This is a Hall of Famer.
00:10:29Rey Mysterio, let me introduce you.
00:10:30Hey, go!
00:10:31Here we go.
00:10:32What do you mean, here you go?
00:10:33That's what I said.
00:10:34What's going on here?
00:10:35What's going on?
00:10:35Oh, what's going on here is these two gentlemen, friends, by the way, fellow general managers,
00:10:40are conspiring against you for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:44What are you talking about?
00:10:44Rey Mysterio is now going to jump the line on Rusev.
00:10:48Is that true?
00:10:49Nobody said anything about that.
00:10:50I'm talking to him about a potential match for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:53How did he earn that opportunity?
00:10:55This is Monday Night Raw.
00:10:56That's what I'm talking about.
00:10:57Earning the match.
00:10:59Earn it.
00:10:59Make him earn it.
00:11:00Earn it.
00:11:00Make him earn it.
00:11:02I got to face Rusev to earn a title shot against Penta.
00:11:05Let's go.
00:11:06You want it?
00:11:07I'm in.
00:11:07Fine.
00:11:08It's official.
00:11:08Tonight.
00:11:09Everybody happy?
00:11:11Tonight, I will bunker anger you.
00:11:15I don't have any idea what that means.
00:11:19Rusev.
00:11:19I don't like him.
00:11:21I don't either.
00:11:23Or Rey might get bongarang-ed.
00:11:27Burning down!
00:11:44Burning down!
00:11:55Burning down!
00:11:58Burning down!
00:11:58The following comes in this schedule for one call.
00:12:04It's with his input.
00:12:06One gentleman toward Iowa.
00:12:08We're in for 225 pounds.
00:12:12Seth Brinkman Rulley.
00:12:18Seth Rollins versus Montez Ford.
00:12:23It's live next on Netflix.
00:12:43Gentle manager Adam Pearce made this match official.
00:12:49Montez Ford made the challenge.
00:12:51Wallins accepted.
00:12:54It's been something of a dream match.
00:12:56A long time coming but tensions have finally boiled over.
00:12:59This is pure and simple.
00:13:02Who is the better man?
00:13:03Who is the best of the best?
00:13:05Is it Rollins?
00:13:06Is it Ford?
00:13:07We're about to find out.
00:13:10A lot to talk about in this story.
00:13:12The stubbornness of both of these men.
00:13:15Finally comes to a head here tonight.
00:13:25Oh!
00:13:29Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:38Oh!
00:13:39And yours!
00:14:00Oh!
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:05Oh!
00:14:07Oh!
00:15:09And here's a hoodie, representing the Street Profits, weighing in for 232 pounds, Montez Ford.
00:16:16Montez Ford doesn't trust Seth Rollins.
00:16:19And to be perfectly honest, I don't blame him.
00:16:21And you know what I find interesting about this is the fact that Angelo Dawkins has not accompanied Montez Ford
00:16:27out to the ring for this matchup.
00:16:28And I think the reason may be this.
00:16:30Listen, he loves Tez like a brother, right?
00:16:32Former tag team champions.
00:16:33They do everything together.
00:16:34But Dawkins also understands where Rollins is coming from.
00:16:38Dawkins believes that Rollins wants to offer an olive branch.
00:16:42That there is strength in numbers when it comes to taking on the vision.
00:16:46So I think Dawkins is trying to stay out of this and let this play out here tonight.
00:16:51Sometimes that's the best course of action.
00:16:53Step aside.
00:16:54Do nothing.
00:16:54Let them fight it out.
00:16:55Let them fight it out.
00:17:23Seth Rollins is a veteran.
00:17:25He does have all those accolades.
00:17:27He's also a man who was part of a group that played the numbers game for many years in the
00:17:32shield.
00:17:33Rollins knows how the vision operates.
00:17:34He's the one who formed the group in the first place.
00:17:37And all he's telling Tez is, listen, if we join together, we don't have to be friends, but we have
00:17:42a common enemy in the vision.
00:17:45Understandably, Montez Ford is skeptical based on history.
00:17:48Seth Rollins has betrayed everyone that he's ever been aligned with.
00:17:52Montez Ford doesn't see why he and Dawkins would be any different.
00:17:55And Rollins doesn't argue that point, right?
00:17:57Seth Rollins says, I made this bet.
00:17:59There's a reason I'm a loner.
00:18:01I basically stabbed everybody in the back.
00:18:03He understands that point.
00:18:04He's just hoping for a loose alliance here with the profits.
00:18:08Oh, Montez Ford referred to it as the Seth Rollins Redemption Tour earlier in the night.
00:18:13Tez just has no interest in it.
00:18:14I can't necessarily blame him.
00:18:16Montez Ford, uber-athletic.
00:18:18There's the leapfrog up over the top of Rollins.
00:18:20And Montez now with his gender attack.
00:18:21But here's another interesting point that Seth made.
00:18:25He did not get involved in the World Tag Team match at Saturday night's main event.
00:18:30And what happened?
00:18:31Come on.
00:18:32The Street Profits came up short.
00:18:34Yes, and why?
00:18:35Because the vision with Heyman involved had a four-on-two advantage over the Street Profits.
00:18:41Look, you can't, I don't disagree with Rollins' assessment of the situation.
00:18:44I can see both sides, both men's arguments being accurate in this case.
00:18:49Well, and I agree.
00:18:49And here's Rollins out with a big boot to the face to Montez Ford, driving him outside the ring.
00:18:55I like it.
00:18:56This is how they chose to settle it.
00:18:57Let's get in the ring.
00:18:58Let's throw down.
00:18:59Rollins with a suicide dive, driving Montez Ford in the barricade.
00:19:03But here's the, no matter who wins this match, in your mind, what is it going to accomplish
00:19:06if Ford sends Rollins out the other side?
00:19:09It's going to establish a pecking order.
00:19:11If Montez Ford gets beat tonight, maybe he's going to swallow his pride.
00:19:14Listen.
00:19:15Ford walks it himself into Rollins.
00:19:17Maybe Rollins swallows his pride and says, okay, Seth, maybe you were right.
00:19:21And if Montez Ford wins, Rollins needs to keep his nose on the Street Profits business, period.
00:19:26Oh, what a collision.
00:19:29Rollins and Ford.
00:19:37But if Montez wins, isn't this all for naught?
00:19:40I mean, you still don't have an alliance formed against the strength of the vision.
00:19:43But Montez Ford, in a way, can find peace of mind.
00:19:48Montez Ford realizes then he and Angelo Dawkins can focus on Street Profit business and Street Profit business alone without
00:19:55the issue that could potentially be Seth Rollins.
00:19:58So you buy into the fact that Tez is doing this for the team and not for himself?
00:20:02Yes.
00:20:02Absolutely, I do.
00:20:03Oh!
00:20:04I understand where Angelo Dawkins lies.
00:20:06I believe he has his reasons for thinking the way he does, for having a little sympathy for the devil
00:20:10that is Seth freaking Rollins.
00:20:12And I understand Montez Ford not wanting to get caught, not wanting to get a dagger plunged into his own
00:20:17back.
00:20:18He suffered a couple of spears this past Saturday night.
00:20:21And here now Montez Ford with Rollins.
00:20:23Oh!
00:20:23Nice neckbreaker by Montez.
00:20:25Cover now.
00:20:25Hook to the leg on Rollins and a kick out.
00:20:28And also, listen, just to stir the pot a little bit, bet no mistake that Montez Ford has been pretty
00:20:35vocal about maybe winning a singles championship one day.
00:20:39And I think we've all unanimously agreed that Montez Ford has all the physical gifts needed to be a major
00:20:45player for a long time in WWE.
00:20:47But Montez Ford is giving up a pretty serious experience advantage to Seth Rollins tonight.
00:20:53You cannot afford to make mistakes when you're dealing with the visionary.
00:20:57Oh!
00:20:58Because of all those points that Rollins made earlier about the resume that he possesses.
00:21:06Sharp jab right to the jaw of Ford.
00:21:08Oh, and you know, I bet it irks Rollins as well that someone like Tez would step up to him.
00:21:12Oh!
00:21:13The way that he has.
00:21:17I don't know if irks the right word, though.
00:21:19Oh, I think there's part of Seth Rollins who understands why Montez Ford has a problem with it.
00:21:25Oh, knee right to the back of the neck of Montez Ford.
00:21:28And there's the fist assist of Seth Rollins.
00:21:31He doesn't give a damn who you are.
00:21:34And perhaps that's why Rollins has main evented WrestleMania.
00:21:38Why he is a multiple-time world champion.
00:21:41Why he's already one of the all-time greats in WWE.
00:21:43Because Seth Rollins is perpetually looking out for number one.
00:21:47Yeah, and he doesn't care about anybody but himself.
00:21:49Unless he needs someone.
00:21:50And Rollins now second rope.
00:21:53And Montez Ford back to his feet somehow after that hellacious knee to the neck moments ago.
00:21:59Rollins slips down underneath.
00:22:00Going to roll up Tez who rolls through and catches him in the midsection.
00:22:08And now Montez.
00:22:10What a splash.
00:22:11Cover isn't enough to put Rollins away.
00:22:13Seth kicks out at two.
00:22:19Montez Ford learning.
00:22:21And Seth Rollins is all about.
00:22:28This August.
00:22:32From the home of the Minnesota Vikings.
00:22:37To epic nights of WWE SummerSlam.
00:22:41Welcome, everyone, to the biggest event of the summer.
00:22:51Are you ready?
00:22:53SummerSlam.
00:22:54Saturday, August 1st, and Sunday, August 2nd.
00:22:59Again, ladies and gentlemen, the stubbornness of these two men.
00:23:02Montez Ford and Seth Rollins has led us to this one-on-one matchup tonight.
00:23:09Montez Ford wanting to beat Rollins and make Rollins stay out of the street.
00:23:13Pop it's business.
00:23:17Montez Ford trying to prove to Montez Ford that there's strength in numbers.
00:23:21Ooh, and a chop again by Ford.
00:23:26Again, no matter how this shakes out, I don't foresee these two going out for a frosty beverage after this
00:23:31match or ever going forward.
00:23:32I think if nothing else, it'll force Montez Ford to swallow his pride and say, okay, Seth, have it your
00:23:38way.
00:23:38You can watch our backs.
00:23:39There is strength in numbers.
00:23:41However, if Montez Ford picks up the win, Seth better pack his bags and move on.
00:23:45Yeah, Seth's going to have no friends at all.
00:23:47And here's Montez Ford now.
00:23:49Fish is close to the back of Rollins.
00:23:51Rollins with a kick to the midsection.
00:23:52Going to hook up Ford now for the pedigree.
00:23:54Montez Ford slips out.
00:23:56Seth with a big forearm.
00:23:57That rolling elbow right on the jaw of Montez Ford.
00:24:01Set.
00:24:02Oh, and what a close line.
00:24:03The impact from Ford.
00:24:05Standing moonsault.
00:24:06Nobody home.
00:24:07Rollins moves out of harm's way.
00:24:08Can't get cute with a veteran like Rollins.
00:24:12Ford lands on his feet.
00:24:13Step up in Zaguri.
00:24:14Drops Rollins back toward the corner.
00:24:20Ford now trying to get the adrenaline pulsing through his body.
00:24:23Trying to fight through the pain and the exhaustion.
00:24:27Rollins launching Montez Ford out to the apron.
00:24:34Ford now making the climb to the top turnbuckle.
00:24:37Oh, it took a moment to get his footing and Rollins caught him.
00:24:41Here we go.
00:24:42Oh, Seth Rollins going to float through and turn this into the falcon arrow.
00:24:47Rollins for the win.
00:24:48Hooks the leg.
00:24:49And a kick out at two by Montez Ford.
00:24:54Take another look.
00:24:56Montez Ford got caught.
00:24:58Took a little too long making the climb.
00:25:00And once Rollins has his hooks in, forget about it.
00:25:05First the superplex, then the falcon arrow.
00:25:08Ford was lucky to be able to survive.
00:25:12Rollins looking to regroup after the kick out by Ford.
00:25:25Rollins going to drag Ford back to his feet.
00:25:30Again, looking to hook in the pedigree on Montez.
00:25:34Montez counters into a backdrop.
00:25:36Rollins, oh, look at this.
00:25:37Stacks him up for the win.
00:25:38Rollins turns it into a pinning combination on his own.
00:25:40Another near fall.
00:25:41Montez Ford stacks up Seth.
00:25:43Seth now near fall after near fall in this matchup.
00:25:48Kick by Montez.
00:25:52Rollins with a super kick.
00:25:56Montez on wobbly legs.
00:26:03Rollins catches Ford.
00:26:05Lands behind him.
00:26:06And now with Rollins up.
00:26:09Orgerac position.
00:26:11The intensity in the eyes of Ford.
00:26:13Rollins will land on his feet.
00:26:14Hook him for the pedigree.
00:26:16Rollins hits it.
00:26:18Cover on Montez Ford.
00:26:21Ford kicks out at two.
00:26:24And give credit where it's due.
00:26:28Seth Rollins able to land on his feet and deliver a pedigree.
00:26:32And somehow, someway, Ford was able to summon the will to keep this fight rolling.
00:26:37And Rollins beginning to get a bit frustrated.
00:26:40He hit Montez Ford with the pedigree.
00:26:42Couldn't put him away.
00:27:01We work together.
00:27:03We don't gotta be fighting each other, Matt.
00:27:08We want the same thing.
00:27:11You ain't gotta be coming at me like that.
00:27:13I understand your problem.
00:27:16I'm trying to change, y'all.
00:27:19I'm trying to change.
00:27:22You hear me?
00:27:23Are you hearing me?
00:27:25Obviously, Montez Ford has no interest in any type of alliance with Seth Rollins, despite
00:27:30what's happened here tonight.
00:27:32And Rollins now with Ford up top.
00:27:34Rollins with a buckle bomb.
00:27:37Seth tried to extend the olive branch.
00:27:40Montez Ford snapped it in half.
00:27:43Another buckle bomb to Montez Ford, who collapses to the mat.
00:27:48Seth reminding Montez it didn't have to be this way.
00:27:51We both want the same thing.
00:27:53But Rollins always willing to do what has to be done.
00:27:59Rollins with Ford up, looking for yet another buckle bomb to Montez Ford.
00:28:05Montez, though, turns it around, sends Seth Rollins outside the ring.
00:28:09Desperation play by Ford, who's somehow finding the energy to get back into this one.
00:28:15Look out!
00:28:16Montez gonna fly!
00:28:21And now you can see the urgency and the movements of Montez Ford.
00:28:24He's got a chance.
00:28:25Rollins into the ring.
00:28:26Montez Ford has a chance.
00:28:29Seth back to his feet.
00:28:32Shove back down into the ring.
00:28:34Seth not making the same mistake twice.
00:28:36From the heavens!
00:28:38Did Ford capitalize?
00:28:39Help it alive!
00:28:41One!
00:28:42Two!
00:28:42Rollins kicks out at two!
00:28:45That was Ford's opportunity.
00:28:48And this is where the experience factor could play a part.
00:28:53Montez Ford landing his bread and butter.
00:28:55From the heavens, a picture-perfect frog splash on the money.
00:29:00But Rollins kicked out.
00:29:05Indeed, an incredible match between Montez Ford and Seth Rollins.
00:29:10One-on-one for the first time in years here tonight.
00:29:18Each man is throwing everything they have at the other.
00:29:22With a kick to Rollins.
00:29:23Drops him to his knees.
00:29:24Montez Ford gonna go up top again.
00:29:28Oh!
00:29:294.50!
00:29:30No one home!
00:29:31And Rollins with a stop!
00:29:34Seth Rollins takes advantage of the missed 4.50.
00:29:38And picks up a hard-fought win.
00:29:41Here is your winner, Seth Freaking Raleigh!
00:29:49Well, did Rollins prove his point?
00:29:53The only one who knows that answer for sure is Montez Ford.
00:29:57Wait a minute.
00:29:58Angelo Dawkins.
00:29:59And that's Theory.
00:30:00Again with a chair.
00:30:01First tonight.
00:30:02It was Joe Hendry.
00:30:04And now it's Angelo Dawkins.
00:30:05Theory obviously blaming Dawkins for the injury to his 10th partner, Logan Paul.
00:30:10Theory vowed to take out everyone who he believes contributed to Logan's injury.
00:30:15First Hendry.
00:30:16Now Dawkins!
00:30:18My God!
00:30:21Theory responding to the pressure and the absence of Logan Paul.
00:30:25He understands he needs to step up for the division to be the man.
00:30:30And he did that to Hendry.
00:30:31And now the assault on Dawkins.
00:30:39He's sick!
00:30:45The switch flipped in theory tonight.
00:30:54Ladies and gentlemen, right now I'm joined by the victorious tandem from like 30 minutes ago.
00:30:59Live with Valkyria.
00:31:00Bailey, congratulations.
00:31:08So, how are you feeling right now having earned a major victory over the judgment days, Roxanne Perez and Raquel
00:31:17Rodriguez?
00:31:18I mean, we obviously feel great, Byron, right?
00:31:21We hate the judgment day.
00:31:23They're annoying.
00:31:24We love to win.
00:31:26But we've lost in the past.
00:31:28We've won in the past.
00:31:29The judgment day has treated in the past.
00:31:32Treated.
00:31:32I meant cheated.
00:31:33You know what I meant, guys, right?
00:31:35They've cheated in the past.
00:31:37But we've made it to WrestleMania.
00:31:38I didn't make it one year to WrestleMania.
00:31:41Nothing really matters anymore, does it, Byron?
00:31:44But what does matter is that pound for pound, inch by inch, match by match, for a whole damn year,
00:31:52we have been the best tag team in the division, tag champions or not.
00:32:00And we ain't stopping.
00:32:03Go ahead.
00:32:04Yeah, dude.
00:32:05That's why my big win, Bailey, here stays so positive.
00:32:08And was able to get the big win tonight.
00:32:10Am I right?
00:32:13I don't care who's lost faith in us.
00:32:16This is to everyone who doesn't believe.
00:32:18To everyone who does believe.
00:32:20Scrap Daddy, Brie Bella, Paige, the tag titles.
00:32:24You know, we want it all.
00:32:26We are not going away.
00:32:28I don't care if it makes sense anymore.
00:32:31We are going to keep on coming until we have success.
00:32:36Am I right?
00:32:40Well, coming up next week, we heard the announcement earlier on tonight.
00:32:43You have a chance for major success with the start of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:32:50We only have about 20 seconds left.
00:32:52The possibility of winning this tournament, competing.
00:32:55How do you feel?
00:32:55Well, Byron, I hope you know who you're talking to.
00:32:58I almost won the Queen of the Ring tournament two years ago.
00:33:01And Big Wynn Bailey here has never been in one.
00:33:04But she's won everything else under the sun.
00:33:10Ladies and gentlemen, Monday Night Raw is live tonight in Columbus, Ohio, on the campus of the Ohio State University.
00:33:18Moments ago, Seth Rollins and Montez Ford airing their grievances against each other in the ring in a great one
00:33:25-on-one match.
00:33:25A fantastic match between two world-class superstars.
00:33:29Montez Ford went for broke, but it did not pay off.
00:33:33Rollins stomping Tez's face into the canvas and picking up a big, big win.
00:33:39But in the aftermath, there would be no celebration.
00:33:42Rather, Austin Theory, armed with a steel chair, taking out his frustrations on Angelo Dawkins, as promised, to avenge Logan
00:33:52Paul.
00:33:54We have Theory stepping up tonight and sending a message to everyone.
00:34:09What's going on, Dawkins?
00:34:11I had a match, they found the perfect time to hit my brother, to get my brother.
00:34:16He's in there, calm down.
00:34:17He's in there, he's being worked on, we'll wait.
00:34:19Hey, hey, Ted, is he all right, man?
00:34:22They're working on it.
00:34:23Is he okay?
00:34:23They're working on it.
00:34:27Look, you're right.
00:34:28We got bigger fish to fry right now.
00:34:31Some more important things is going on right now.
00:34:33My brother's out.
00:34:34Yeah.
00:34:34He needs somebody.
00:34:35He needs us.
00:34:37Us?
00:34:38Us.
00:34:48Here's what I want.
00:34:51It's got to end, man.
00:34:53It's got to end.
00:34:55I gotta cut the head off the snake.
00:34:59I want Braun Breaker.
00:35:04And I want as soon as you can make it possible.
00:35:10Let me go talk to him.
00:35:15Well, it's finally come to this, and perhaps Montez Ford has come to his senses.
00:35:19Well, through battle, they achieved a level of peace, at least a level of understanding
00:35:23between the Rollins and the Prophets.
00:35:24Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the upcoming weekend at WWE Saturday night.
00:35:28Of course, Triple A.
00:35:29Corey Graves will be there.
00:35:30And then Corey and I will both be in Turin, Italy, on Sunday for Clash in Italy.
00:35:35Now, here's the programming schedule.
00:35:37We get underway with the countdown show in the United States at 12 noon on the East Coast,
00:35:429 o'clock on the West Coast.
00:35:44That'll be on ESPN both hours.
00:35:46Then, Clash in Italy gets underway locally at 8 o'clock in the evening in Turin, 2 o'clock
00:35:51in the afternoon on the East Coast, 11 a.m. in the morning on the West Coast.
00:35:55The first hour on ESPN in the States, and of course, Netflix internationally.
00:36:00We can tell you that first hour on ESPN in the States will include these first two matches,
00:36:06including the Undisputed WWE Championship match.
00:36:09The American Nightmare.
00:36:10Cody Rhodes will defend against the Ring General Gunther.
00:36:14Also on ESPN.
00:36:16The WWE Women's Championship will be defended as the reigning champion Rhea Bloody Ripley
00:36:23defends her gold against the former champion Jade Cargill.
00:36:28It is a rematch from WrestleMania.
00:36:30Paul Heyman earlier tonight called it the biggest rematch in WWE history.
00:36:35Oba Femi against the returning Beast Brock Lesnar.
00:36:40And we will all bear witness to tribal combat for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:36:47As the OTC, Roman Reigns defends his seat at the head of the table along with his title
00:36:53against his cousin, the Samoan werewolf, Jacob Fatu.
00:36:58It is the time now for the upstart Sol Ruka.
00:37:01She has an opportunity to take the Intercontinental Championship from big time Becky Lynch.
00:37:07All a part of Sunday's Clash in Italy.
00:37:11Let's head back to our own Kathy Kelly.
00:37:15Yeah, thanks so much, guys.
00:37:17I'm here with women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch.
00:37:20Becky, sole is sidelined tonight with injuries that she sustained at Saturday night's main event.
00:37:26Although you were initially irate when the rematch was announced for Clash in Italy.
00:37:30It feels like you have the upper hand now heading into that title defense.
00:37:34Yeah, you know, Kathy, some people get punched in the face and they become the face of the entire industry.
00:37:40And then other people get punched in the face and it's a wake-up call that they are in over
00:37:44their head.
00:37:45Because Sol Ruka stepped in the ring with the greatest female wrestler of all time.
00:37:49And it's not just me saying it.
00:37:50Other people are saying it.
00:37:51Everybody's saying it.
00:37:52Sports Illustrated says it.
00:37:53The Bleacher Report says it.
00:37:55And she realized that she was totally outmatched.
00:37:58Now, some people might be impressed with her tricks and her flips.
00:38:03But she hasn't gotten a single clean victory since she's been here.
00:38:07And her time is running out.
00:38:08Because right now, her name, it's written in sand.
00:38:11But the tide is coming in.
00:38:13My name is etched in stone.
00:38:15It'll be around forever.
00:38:16Much like I will hold this title forever.
00:38:19So I hope that Sol can come around to clash in Italy.
00:38:23Because the man is coming around.
00:38:26And there's a difference between striving for greatness and standing across from it.
00:38:32Welcome to the big time.
00:38:37From the current women's intercontinental champion.
00:38:41The man who will be next in line for the men's intercontinental championship.

00:43:26Why else would I?
00:43:27Well, I'm actually glad you're out here.
00:43:28Yeah, I thought we were pals, Mike.
00:43:30It's Michael, but nonetheless, I'm glad that you're out here
00:43:34because I did want to say, I told you so.
00:43:37Your ego cost you the Intercontinental Championship
00:43:41this past Saturday night as you outsmarted yourself.
00:43:45You know, I find it interesting as a journalist,
00:43:47you're more worried about my performance instead of yours.
00:43:50You know that you didn't mention one time during that match
00:43:53that Penta cheated to retain the championship?
00:43:56Great job.
00:43:57Well, wait, they cheated.
00:43:58You're the one who exposed not one but two turnbuckles.
00:44:00I'm not going to tell you how to do your job.
00:44:02Don't tell me how to do mine.
00:44:03Well, Ethan, I'd like to apologize for my partner's lack of professionalism.
00:44:06And I would like to personally thank you for your effort on Saturday night's main event
00:44:09for contributing to an incredibly memorable evening and your wealth.
00:44:13There's no doubt, a tremendous athlete, tremendous match against Penta.
00:44:17I thought at one point you were going to win the title.
00:44:19Nonetheless, here we go.
00:44:20Winner of this matchup earns a future opportunity against Penta
00:44:22for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:44:24Batman Rusev in the Hall of Famer, the two-time Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio.
00:44:28Now, Mr. Page, I would like to say this.
00:44:31Sure.
00:44:31I like how you talk your way out of all these situations when it comes to Rusev.
00:44:35You just make stuff up to get yourself out of hot water.
00:44:39Oh, I make stuff up with my good friend?
00:44:42I would love to take one great quote from you out of my mouth that was a lie.
00:44:46Please, go ahead. Do your job, journalist.
00:44:48Well, you were interrupting the conversation with Rey and Adam Pearce tonight to try to get yourself a rematch.
00:44:53It had nothing to do with Rusev getting an opportunity.
00:44:55I have a question.
00:44:56Did Rey Mysterio jump Rusev?
00:45:00We're going to find out tonight, I guess, thanks to me.
00:45:04Oh, here we go.
00:45:05Rusev now in pursuit of Rey Mysterio.
00:45:08Oh, this is not good.
00:45:10Mysterio has Rusev in position now.
00:45:13Six for move!
00:45:14And what a chop by Rusev!
00:45:17Thunder as back elbow dropped the Hall of Famer.
00:45:21So, what is this relationship between you and Rusev, Page?
00:45:25Well, I look at us like family.
00:45:28Truly, I care a lot about my career.
00:45:30I want to see Rusev do well.
00:45:32And he deserves more in the WWE.
00:45:34I'm going to help him get it.
00:45:35Does Rusev know that you guys are family?
00:45:37Of course.
00:45:38I tell him all the time.
00:45:40You didn't see me fighting for his career?
00:45:43I saw you fighting so you didn't get yourself beat up.
00:45:45But, nonetheless.
00:45:47And Rusev now looking to outpower Mysterio here.
00:45:52And Rey looking to out quick Rusev.
00:45:55Again, Rey Mysterio, the new general manager of AAA.
00:45:59He's got a lot on his plate as of late.
00:46:01And to that point, I'd like to ask Ethan.
00:46:03I mean, does it smell like...
00:46:05Conspiracy to you when the managers general of RAW and AAA are working together?
00:46:10Well, I would love to know where Rey Mysterio changes now.
00:46:13Because he was not changing in the locker room.
00:46:14I'm sure he's hanging out with his fellow GMs.
00:46:17Here we go!
00:46:17I don't think that has anything to do with that.
00:46:20Whoa!
00:46:20Wow!
00:46:21That is terrifying power from the line of Bulgaria.
00:46:25We're sitting down.
00:46:26Mysterio into the barricade.
00:46:27Now, let me point out.
00:46:28Rey Mysterio was here tonight as a competitor.
00:46:31As a talent.
00:46:32Not as a general manager.
00:46:34Sure!
00:46:34And now that he's a competitor, let me point out how strong Rusev is.
00:46:38That was amazing.
00:46:41Rey's in trouble.
00:46:48Rusev looks like he's in a good mood.
00:46:50You should go over and offer him some words of encouragement right now.
00:46:53Of course he's in a good mood.
00:46:54He's kicking Rey Mysterio's ass.
00:46:56So, what would happen...
00:46:58Mysterio...
00:46:59Oh!
00:46:59...steals deaths.
00:47:00What would happen if your family...
00:47:02Amazing!
00:47:04Amazing!
00:47:05Rusev, don't believe anything this guy says.
00:47:07I should have paid for this seat.
00:47:09This is a great show.
00:47:12So, let me ask you.
00:47:13If Rusev wins...
00:47:14Yeah, go ahead.
00:47:15Ask your one-sided question.
00:47:16And then he goes in.
00:47:17Here's the cover now.
00:47:17Cover here by Rusev.
00:47:19If Rusev wins...
00:47:21Yes.
00:47:21And he goes on to win the Intercontinental Championship from Penta.
00:47:25Are you going to be really happy for your, quote, family member?
00:47:27Well, let's wait for that to happen.
00:47:29And if it does, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
00:47:32I'd just, again, like to apologize, Ethan.
00:47:34I didn't realize you were coming out here to be interrogated by Mike.
00:47:37Yeah, I find it funny that he's always bringing up the propaganda that you're spinning for me.
00:47:42And yet, here he is, a very one-sided journalist sitting at this desk.
00:47:45I would say, one-sided, I was...
00:47:47You're right, you're not.
00:47:48I am.
00:47:48I was praising you this past Saturday on Saturday night's main event, telling the world about
00:47:53your accolades.
00:47:54Did you inform the rest of the world that he is, in fact, the greatest North American?
00:47:58Are you aware of that fact?
00:47:59Did you share that with the world?
00:48:01All right, look at Rusev now, trying to take the mask off of Rey Mysterio.
00:48:06Yeah.
00:48:07The greatest Bulgarian.
00:48:09I think if you move to Bulgaria, though, you might have that one on lock as well.
00:48:14Bangaranga!
00:48:15Bangaranga!
00:48:15Thank you, though.
00:48:16Bangaranga!
00:48:16I appreciate the suggestion.
00:48:17You're great at your job.
00:48:18What the hell is that?
00:48:19Bangaranga, Cole!
00:48:20You've already established this.
00:48:23Rey was going to feel it.
00:48:24Rusev warned us.
00:48:25Oh, no!
00:48:25Great core strength as Rusev heads into the turnbuckle.
00:48:29Say that again.
00:48:30Bangaranga!
00:48:32Mysterio now top rope, and Rusev drops Mysterio to the mat.
00:48:38I'm not sure what it means, but I'm pretty sure it's a pejorative.
00:48:41And now Rusev sends Rey into the corner, follows it off with a splash.
00:48:45And Rusev suddenly in control.
00:48:48I'd love to see a match between Rusev and all-ego Ethan Page.
00:48:52Okay, well, you're not the general manager, so send your emails to Mr. Page.
00:48:56How do you do that?
00:48:58Actually, I'm going to text him right now.
00:48:59Okay, good for you.
00:49:00Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:49:01Michael Cole, Adam Pearce, Rey Mysterio all hang out in their own little private locker room.
00:49:05I'm really learning how this place works.
00:49:06Rusev now continuing to put the pressure on Mysterio, looking to earn an Intercontinental Championship opportunity.
00:49:14You know, instead of harassing me, Mike, why don't you describe this amazing beatdown from Rusev.
00:49:21Okay, you know what, I'm sorry.
00:49:22Michael, why don't you describe this beatdown Rusev's giving?
00:49:25Well, it's an incredible beatdown on Rusev.
00:49:28He's slowed Mysterio down, taking Mysterio completely out of his game, and couldn't be closing in on a win, unless
00:49:32Rey can rally.
00:49:34Is that good enough?
00:49:39Rey Mysterio looking to rally against Rusev, but just like that, that rally snuffed out.
00:49:45The winner of this match earns an opportunity against Penta in the Intercontinental Championship.
00:49:49Meanwhile, Rusev's biggest cheerleader, at least that's what he tells us.
00:49:52All-ego Ethan Page with us at ringside on commentary tonight.
00:49:56Sure, unsure of who invited him.
00:49:58I invited him, and this is all-ego Ethan Page who's enduring straight-up character assassination by you, Michael Cole.
00:50:05Let's talk about the greatest North American, a man who very nearly became Intercontinental Champion just 48 hours ago.
00:50:11Well, let's not talk about Rusev and Mysterio here tonight, what has been a competitive matchup.
00:50:16And Rey trying to stay in this.
00:50:17The Hall of Famer, the new general manager from AAA.
00:50:21Rey Mysterio in Penta.
00:50:22What a classic match that would be.
00:50:24But he's got to win here tonight and beat Rusev.
00:50:27Who will not be in a pleasant mood if he loses.
00:50:30And now Mysterio.
00:50:31Oh!
00:50:31The Sentai!
00:50:32To be fair, Rusev's likely to be in a bad mood if he wins.
00:50:35And now Rey Mysterio sending Rusev across the ring.
00:50:39And Rusev all out of sorts here.
00:50:42That's what Mysterio does so well.
00:50:44It's one of the many reasons we refer to Rey as being a timeless superstar.
00:50:48He throws opponents off of their game.
00:50:50He's got unmatched will, guts, and determination.
00:50:54And he's teeing off on the Bulgarian group.
00:50:57And still doing it at this level after many, many years.
00:51:01Rusev, though, using his power game.
00:51:03Mysterio, don't think this is going to work.
00:51:06But Mysterio moves out of harm's way.
00:51:10And now Rey!
00:51:13Low-seeded senton by Mysterio, who has Rusev lined up.
00:51:17Straightboard points off to Rusev.
00:51:19Mysterio looks for the win!
00:51:20Oh, come on!
00:51:21And a kick out.
00:51:22Yeah, your relationship may not be lasting if Rusev loses this matchup, Paige.
00:51:27Oh, yeah?
00:51:27You know that for certain there?
00:51:29Oh, I'm just guessing.
00:51:31Yeah, I'm heavily invested in this match, that's for sure.
00:51:34Sound it.
00:51:35And Mysterio, uh...
00:51:38He's using his expert-level analytics, Michael Cole.
00:51:40He's paying close attention to the action in front of us and on the monitor.
00:51:43He's multitasking.
00:51:45Yeah, I'm also really hoping Rusev can handle this Rey Mysterio fella.
00:51:49Uh-oh, uh-oh!
00:51:50Oh!
00:51:51Man, he's not doing too good of a job right now.
00:51:54Rey Mysterio, that unbelievable offense.
00:51:57Uh-oh, caught Rusev, though.
00:51:59The power.
00:52:00Whoa!
00:52:00And Mysterio just slammed.
00:52:02Now we're back, baby.
00:52:04I'm loving this.
00:52:08Rusev could be closing in on a win.
00:52:10The Big Mosh got kicked the Mysterio.
00:52:13Cover now by Rusev.
00:52:14For the win!
00:52:15Kick out by Rey!
00:52:18Take another look at the power of the line out of Bulgaria.
00:52:23Spiking Mysterio in the center of the ring and following up immediately
00:52:26with a vicious Machka kick.
00:52:29But still not enough to topple the Hall of Famer.
00:52:31One evil offer Rusev some advice.
00:52:32What he needs to do to maybe win this match.
00:52:34Well, I think he's doing a fantastic job right now
00:52:36because he's the one standing and Rey Mysterio is not.
00:52:39Are you scared?
00:52:40Of what?
00:52:41Of Rusev.
00:52:42No.
00:52:42No, I'm enjoying the shot just like you.
00:52:45Could be accolade time.
00:52:47Mysterio, though, able to squirm out of harm's way.
00:52:53And Rey.
00:52:54Oh!
00:52:55What a 6-1-9 of the midsection.
00:52:57Tremendous counter by Mysterio.
00:52:59And now puts Rusev in position for the traditional.
00:53:046-1-9!
00:53:06Oh!
00:53:08Intercepted!
00:53:10Trapped in the vice-like grip of Rusev.
00:53:13Oh, now it's over.
00:53:14Accolade incoming.
00:53:15Oh!
00:53:16Mysterio rolling up Rusev!
00:53:18Rey got it!
00:53:19Rey got it!
00:53:20Damn it!
00:53:21Here is your winner!
00:53:25Rey Mysterio!
00:53:27Hey, relax over there, buddy.
00:53:29Mysterio now, the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:53:33You know what?
00:53:34The result doesn't really matter.
00:53:36This is what I wanted.
00:53:38Hey, don't stop, Rusev!
00:53:39Kick his ass!
00:53:40Get on him!
00:53:41Because you didn't want Rusev in your way.
00:53:43Ah!
00:53:43Yes!
00:53:44Pick him apart!
00:53:46No, somebody come out!
00:53:47The referee do something!
00:53:49The damn match is over!
00:53:50I have to do something!
00:53:52No, no, no!
00:53:53What the hell is this crap?!
00:53:54Hey!
00:53:55Mind your damn business, Dragon!
00:53:57Dragon Lee is here!
00:53:59Coming to the aid of Mysterio!
00:54:01And, uh, Ethan Page just tossed his headsets it out.
00:54:04He's gonna get in the play.
00:54:06Ethan Page couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
00:54:08Ethan realized Rusev was outnumbered!
00:54:10And look at this!
00:54:11Oh!
00:54:11Oh!
00:54:12Sidney Page here to Rusev!
00:54:17Release German!
00:54:19Dragon Lee!
00:54:21Is flying with fire here tonight!
00:54:26Big bootstops Rusev!
00:54:32Dragon Lee!
00:54:366-1-9!
00:54:386-1-9!
00:54:43Operation Dragon!
00:54:47Rusev just being humiliated after his defeat.
00:54:52Well, Page was humiliated too.
00:54:54First off, he was never invited to be out here on commentary.
00:54:57And then no one invited him to get in the middle of this mess.
00:55:00Nonetheless, Rey Mysterio's earned himself an Intercontinental Championship match!
00:55:07Mind your damn business!
00:55:10Look, you know me well.
00:55:12I let people fight on Monday night, but what you did tonight, two people, and the way you did it,
00:55:16it's enough.
00:55:16So you're done.
00:55:17Find the door, cause your night is over.
00:55:19Enough?
00:55:19Enough?
00:55:20Enough?
00:55:21You're talking to the Tag Team Champion.
00:55:24Enough?
00:55:25Wasn't it enough with what happened to Logan Paul?
00:55:28Wasn't it enough for what happened to Bronson Reed?
00:55:32Wasn't it enough for what happened to Braun Breaker?
00:55:36I'll tell you what's enough!
00:55:37I'm enough!
00:55:38Because you're done for the night!
00:55:40Oh, okay, okay, okay.
00:55:41You know what?
00:55:42The Austin Theory is completely out of line, and I agree with you.
00:55:45And this man needs to be reprimanded, and I'm going to take care of this personally.
00:55:49We have to go, excuse us.
00:55:50We have to go now.
00:55:51You know, Austin Theory, I tell you what, I don't agree with anything that you've done tonight.
00:55:55He's an idiot.
00:56:05I don't know, babe.
00:56:08Smells like bad news.
00:56:10No.
00:56:10She has a lot going on.
00:56:12Cut him some slack.
00:56:12I'll catch up with you guys later.
00:56:16What was it?
00:56:19It's been an interesting night for Mr. Theory.
00:56:23Nonetheless, ladies and gentlemen, we are looking forward to Clash in Italy this Sunday.
00:56:28A WrestleMania rematch.
00:56:29Paul Heyman earlier tonight called it one of the biggest rematches in the history of WWE.
00:56:34It's Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar.
00:56:49It's Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar.
00:56:50Oba Femi set for another open challenge.
00:56:55We'll step up.
00:56:57We'll step up.
00:57:01We'll step up.
00:57:05What the hell!
00:57:22Oh, my God!
00:57:24It's the beast!
00:57:28A five for Brock Lesnar!
00:57:36And another F5!
00:57:41Brock Lesnar with a third F5 to this monster!
00:57:46Oh, my goodness!
00:57:54I need to get to the bottom.
00:57:55What the hell's going on here?
00:57:56Bring him into my office.
00:58:00Tell me what the hell I just saw.
00:58:02I hear you are looking for me.
00:58:07I filed retirement paperwork on his behalf.
00:58:10Brock Lesnar is retired.
00:58:13Retired?
00:58:15Start talking.
00:58:16That's for you.
00:58:18It's a contract.
00:58:20For Clash in Italy.
00:58:22With Brock Lesnar's signature already on it.
00:58:29You get Obafemi to sign that,
00:58:32you have the biggest rematch in history.
00:58:41The ink on the contract is dry.
00:58:44It is official.
00:58:46It is the biggest rematch in history.
00:58:49As the ruler, Obafemi, once again battles the beast incarnate.
00:58:55The man, Obafemi, defeated at WrestleMania.
00:58:57The most decorated combat sports athlete in history.
00:59:02Brock Lesnar.
00:59:03Clash in Italy is in Turin this coming Sunday.
00:59:07Monday Night Raw is in Turin, Italy this coming Monday.
00:59:10Special start time.
00:59:12It's 8 o'clock local, but it's 2 p.m. on the East Coast of the States.
00:59:1511 o'clock in the morning on the West Coast.
00:59:18And the King and the Queen of the Ring tournaments will begin a week from tonight.
00:59:23And remember, the winners of those respective tournaments will earn a championship opportunity.
00:59:32Adam Pearce, our general manager in the ring as we are set to sign the contract for tribal combat.
00:59:38Cast, rule, count, five, two.
01:00:04Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Samoan World Wolf.
01:00:11Jacob Fatu.
01:00:17Jacob Fatu, the world heavyweight champion, Roman Reigns, in the ring, face-to-face, live, next.
01:00:40So, Corey, Jacob Fatu, last week, rolled the dice.
01:00:45He gambled.
01:00:46He called out Roman Reigns for tribal combat.
01:00:51Will that gamble pay off for Fatu?
01:00:54We will find out our answer this Sunday in Italy.
01:00:58But the repercussions of Fatu's decision could be felt by the family for generations.
01:01:05Because at stake this Sunday is more than just the world heavyweight championship.
01:01:10It's the seat at the head of the table.
01:01:13It is the title of tribal chief.
01:01:16It is also the humiliation of the loser to have to acknowledge the winner as the head of the table,
01:01:25the head of the family, the tribal chief.
01:01:27Can you imagine if Roman Reigns loses on Sunday?
01:01:35We may not have to imagine.
01:01:37Do you think Roman would actually go through?
01:01:40And I understand the tradition and all of it.
01:01:42Would Roman actually go through and acknowledge this man?
01:01:46Listen, there's wrestling business, there's WWE business, and then there's family business.
01:01:53It's something altogether different.
01:01:56It may be rooted in the world of WWE, but this is reality.
01:02:01This is familial conflict.
01:02:04This is generational pride at stake on Sunday.
01:02:08He knew the only way to draw Roman back into another match after losing at Backlash
01:02:15was to invoke tribal combat, and he did that.
01:02:19And you can see by Roman Reigns' reaction how caught off guard the tribal chief was.
01:02:24Roman resigned himself to accepting tribal combat.
01:02:28It is his duty to accept tribal combat as the reigning tribal chief.
01:02:33You know, there's only been two tribal combat matches in history, both won by Roman Reigns.
01:02:46Reigns is gonna be out here momentarily.
01:03:32Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's WWE Raw is brought to you by DoorDash, your door to Moore.
01:03:42Adam Pearce, the general manager, Jacob Batu, the challenger for the world title, already in the ring.
01:03:48As we await the appearance, the challenger for two signatures makes Tribal Combat official.
01:04:23This is not a good start here.
01:04:25With his contract signing, Jacob Batu just tossing furniture at the security guards in the aisle way.
01:04:32There's absolute mayhem already, and the contract's not even fully signed.
01:04:45That is the hothead that Roman Reigns is dealing with.
01:04:49Jacob Batu realizes everything in his career, everything in his life is on the line come Sunday.
01:04:56It's do or die for Batu.
01:04:57But it's Tribal Combat, Michael Cole.
01:05:00It might as well be do or die for the OTC as well.
01:05:04Imagine waking up Monday morning and Roman having to look at his own children and explain,
01:05:10I lost the championship and my seat at the head of the table.
01:05:13I'm sorry.
01:05:14I no longer know what your future looks like.
01:05:20We mentioned before, there's only been two Tribal Combat matches in history.
01:05:28Both of those matches won by Roman Reigns.
01:05:36Anything goes in this match.
01:05:39There are no disqualifications.
01:05:41There's no countouts.
01:05:43You win via pinfall or submission.
01:05:45The winner is the world champion.
01:05:48And is also the head of the table, the Tribal Chief.
01:05:51The loser must swallow their pride.
01:05:55They'll be humiliated when they have to acknowledge the winner as the Tribal Chief and fall in line in that
01:06:04bloodline.
01:06:05Can you imagine the visual of Roman Reigns being forced to place the Ula Fala around the neck of Jacob
01:06:13Batu?
01:06:14For Roman to personally have to relinquish all of the power he has worked his entire life for?
01:06:22Jacob Batu last week rolled the dice.
01:06:26Jacob Batu gambled.
01:06:29He had one last desperate effort to pull Roman Reigns into yet another title match after Batu lost at Backlash.
01:06:37And that was to invoke the Tribal Combat rules.
01:06:41The stipulation which Roman Reigns could not, being the Tribal Chief, could not back out of.
01:06:51Roman's throne is under attack.
01:06:54By a member of his own tribe.
01:06:58And let's make no mistake about it, Corey.
01:07:01Roman Reigns survived at Backlash.
01:07:04That's all he did.
01:07:05He survived.
01:07:22Roman Reigns will sign, Batu signed earlier, and it is now official.
01:07:35Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday,

01:08:04Leave us.
01:08:10Don't you think it'd be better if security does their job?
01:08:13We stay out here.
01:08:13We make sure it doesn't pop up before tribal combat.
01:08:17He signed the contract.
01:08:20He made a blood oath.
01:08:22He can't touch me until Italy.
01:08:25Leave us now.
01:08:30You heard the man, boys.
01:08:31Let's go.
01:08:32Have it your way, Uzz.
01:08:45O-U-T!
01:08:48O-U-T!
01:08:50O-U-T!
01:08:51O-U-T!
01:08:52O-U-T!
01:08:53O-U-T!
01:08:54O-U-T!
01:08:55O-U-T!
01:08:58O-U-T!
01:08:59Columbus, Ohio!
01:09:07Acknowledge me.
01:09:36See how simple that was?
01:09:39That's all you had to do, all you had to do was acknowledge me, I beat you at backlash,
01:09:49you signed the contract, it could have been simple, all you had to do was acknowledge
01:09:54me and then we could have moved on to the next mission.
01:10:05Acknowledge you, like everybody in here, hell no.
01:10:19See, I'm not like everybody else, but let's keep it 100, Roman.
01:10:26You are the reason why our family in the bloodline is living the life that we have.
01:11:07It's time for another direction, hell, it's time for another destination.
01:11:12So when you over here talking about acknowledging you, having honor, respect, living the code
01:11:21of the bloodline, let me ask you something, Roman.
01:11:26At backlash, did you live by the code of the bloodline?
01:11:33Or did you ban the rules just so you could beat me?
01:11:40Oh, no, no, no, I get it.
01:11:42You had to do what you had to do by any means necessary.
01:11:49But at tribal combat, everything and anything goes, Roman, huh?
01:11:55So just like that backlash, that clash in Italy, oh, I'm about to dog walk your bitch ass.
01:12:03And when I get done taking over this, everybody is going to have consequences.
01:12:11Have consequences.
01:12:13You want to talk about consequences.
01:12:16Let's talk about them then.
01:12:19You see, I'm a man of my word.
01:12:21Jacob, if you beat me, then you become the head of the table.
01:12:28You become the shot caller.
01:12:30You lead and I follow.
01:12:36But if you can't dog walk me,
01:12:40then it looks like I'm going to be walking you like a dog.
01:12:45I'm going to domesticate you.
01:12:48If you can't beat me,
01:12:53you will serve me.
01:12:55And you will learn from me.
01:12:58And in time, Jacob,
01:13:01you will love your tribal chief.
01:13:13Okay.
01:13:15Yeah.
01:13:17Well, it looks like a win for me.
01:13:19It looks like a win.
01:13:21Win for me then, Roman, huh?
01:13:25So if you do dog walk my ass,
01:13:31Hey, it looks like I still got a job here.
01:13:35Ain't nothing going to change.
01:13:38But not if with me, but when I dog walk your ass.
01:13:49Everybody and especially you will learn how to acknowledge me.
01:13:58They all care.
01:14:05That's right.
