00:00:07Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:32This is the cradle of Italian liberty, the capital of the Piedmont.
00:00:36In the shadow of the Swiss Alps, this is Turin, or Torino, as the locals call it.
00:00:42And for the very first time tonight, we'll host Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix.
00:00:54It'll be jam-packed tonight, as fans are still buzzing after last night's Clash in Italy.
00:01:07This is the cradle of Italian liberty, Turin, Italy.
00:01:12Over 12,000 WWE fans are expected for Clash in Italy.
00:01:19When you look at this card tonight, it is a Wrestlemania-worthy card.
00:01:24Gunther, Cody Rhodes, for the championship.
00:01:34Cody Rhodes got him!
00:01:36The win belongs to the American nightmare, but Gunther immediately began protesting.
00:01:41His foot was under the bottom rope.
00:01:43If Gunther wants a rematch, I'd do a rematch with Gunther right here, right now.
00:01:49Bria Bloody Ripley defends her goal against the former champion, Jade Target.
00:02:00Rip time! Ripley repains!
00:02:03It's the time now for the upstart, Sol Ruka.
00:02:07One thing about me is I'm damn good at proving people wrong, and that's exactly what I'm going to do
00:02:11today.
00:02:13Sol Ruka wins your first major championship!
00:02:18It is the biggest rematch in history.
00:02:22As the ruler, Oba Femi, once again battles the beast incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
00:02:32This is becoming a beatdown of biblical proportion!
00:02:39Oba Femi, now ripping apart our announce desk.
00:02:43Lesnar, though, able to reverse it!
00:02:45A five through the table!
00:02:48Paul Hammond orchestrating the count.
00:02:51Dubby just stood up!
00:02:52Lesnar looks like he's seen a ghost!
00:02:54Oba Femi's got a chance!
00:02:59Seven and five!
00:03:04The ruler has been usurped!
00:03:15Tribal combat for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:03:20Roman Reigns defends his seat at the head of the table against Jacob Batu.
00:03:27The winner is the world champion.
00:03:32The loser must acknowledge his tribal chief.
00:03:40Talk a death grip!
00:03:47Roman Reigns with a toolbox to the head!
00:03:51Trying to break the hand of Batu!
00:03:54Roman with a spear through the barricade!
00:03:58Off the exposed steel buckle.
00:04:01Spear makes Batu!
00:04:03Moves up!
00:04:05Roman survives!
00:04:07On the death grip!
00:04:09Oh my God!
00:04:09Reigns has launched it!
00:04:12Spear!
00:04:14Another spear!
00:04:18The Samoan werewolf has been domesticated at the hands of the still head of the table,
00:04:26the still world champion, Roman Reigns.
00:04:31I'm trying to shine a light on my legacy in a positive manner.
00:04:35The Jell-O-Force of my hand.
00:04:36Keep on trying me.
00:04:39I'll run it all.
00:04:47Va vécu A!
00:04:54A!
00:04:54A!
00:04:55A!
00:05:08A!
00:05:09A!
00:05:09A!
00:06:40Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jimmy and Jay, the Usos, and the World Heavyweight Champion, the OTC, Roman Reigns.
00:07:07It seems that Roman Reigns has some scores to settle.
00:07:20You can see the fans here in Italy rushing the barricade thousands upon thousands of ones in the sky
00:07:28for the Tribal Chiefs' arrival.
00:07:34When asked last night why the Usos are back in tow, Roman explained why.
00:07:43He said, I'm trying to shine a light on my legacy, but there are folks out there forcing my hand.
00:07:51And one of those was Jacob Fatu, who the question now is tonight, Corey, will he acknowledge his Tribal Chief?
00:08:01Well, per the rules of Tribal Combat, that's exactly what Jacob Fatu must do tonight in Torino.
00:08:09And also, let's not forget the closing moments of last night, Clash in Italy, who we saw on the other
00:08:15side of the barricade
00:08:16as Roman left ringside with his cousins, Jimmy and Jay, the MFTs, led by Solo Sokoa.
00:08:23The Usos' brother and Roman's cousin.
00:08:34The Usos' brother and Roman's cousin.
00:09:01The Usos' brother and Roman's cousin.
00:09:28Go, go, go, go!
00:09:55Go, go, go, go!
00:10:26Go, go, go, go!
00:10:54Go, go, go!
00:11:10Go, go, go, go!
00:11:51Go, go, go, go!
00:12:10Go, go, go!
00:13:02I've been waiting for this day for a long time because there is no day like acknowledgement.
00:13:30I've been waiting for this day.
00:14:09I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
00:14:40I've been waiting for this day.
00:15:03I've been waiting for this day.
00:15:36I've been waiting for this day.
00:16:00I've been waiting for this day.
00:16:36I've been waiting for this day.
00:17:00I've been waiting for this day.
00:18:06I knew the repercussions.
00:18:08I've been waiting for this day.
00:18:38I knew the repercussions.
00:19:21I knew the repercussions.
00:19:33I knew the repercussions.
00:19:42I knew the repercussions.
00:19:55I knew the repercussions.
00:20:04I knew the repercussions.
00:20:23I knew the repercussions.
00:20:36You don't understand this right now, Jacob.
00:20:40But I love you.
00:20:48It's all now, Jacob.
00:20:50You here now, baby.
00:20:52And this is a message to everybody in that locker room, Moose.
00:20:56This is a warning shot.
00:20:57Pow!
00:20:58They the tools.
00:21:00And we the Warners.
00:21:16The OTC grows stronger and stronger.
00:21:22The Samoan werewolf honoring his word, honoring the blood oath of tribal combat, acknowledging
00:21:33the OTC.
00:21:35The OTC.
00:21:36The OTC.
00:21:41The OTC.
00:21:42The OTC.
00:21:43The OTC.
00:21:51The OTC.
00:21:53The OTC.
00:22:57Ladies and gentlemen, Roman Reigns, the original Tribal Chief, once again insulating himself
00:23:06with family.
00:23:08And now, he is a dangerous Samoan werewolf on the leash that he can unleash at any time.
00:23:16As if Roman Reigns needed to amass even more power.
00:23:20The Tribal Chief right now might as well be bulletproof.
00:23:22Ladies and gentlemen, here at ringside tonight, Michael Cole and Corey Graves, thank you for
00:23:26joining us in Torino, Italy.
00:23:28It has been quite the weekend for WWE, of course, clashed in Italy.
00:23:32Yesterday, Saturday night, AAA, Monterey, Mexico.
00:23:35The world is still talking about it.
00:23:37We have breaking news about this right now.
00:23:40The world is still abuzz about the mask versus mask match between El Grande Americano and
00:23:45the original El Grande Americano.
00:23:48Well, you have an opportunity to relive it tonight or watch it for the very first time because
00:23:53immediately following Monday Night Raw, we will present that match in its entirety right
00:23:58here on Netflix.
00:24:00A special encore presentation here tonight.
00:24:03We're also joined at ringside by our Italian commentary team, none other than Luca Branchini
00:24:09and Michele Posa.
00:24:26What they said, I think they want you to get a face tattooed quite the night tonight, including
00:24:32our main event, where Seth Rollins looks to end this rivalry and put it to bed with Braun
00:24:39Breaker of the Vision.
00:24:42Paul Heyman, of course, the oracles from the Vision.
00:24:45Braun Breaker now, one half of the tag team champions with that man, Austin Theory.
00:24:51Breaker, Rollins live in our main event tonight.
00:24:54And fresh off the biggest win of her career last night.
00:24:58The brand new Intercontinental Champion, Sol Ruka, is here.
00:25:02Also tonight, the start of the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments.
00:25:09The coronation draws near.
00:25:12For two worthy competitors, royalty awaits.
00:25:16The King and Queen will be crowned.
00:25:19The King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments, where legends have been made and careers have
00:25:27been built.
00:25:27A grueling tournament, where champions are forged in combat.
00:25:32Where victory sets the path to greatness.
00:25:35I am your queen.
00:25:37And future Hall of Famers take their first step towards immortality.
00:25:42Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
00:25:46I'm royalty, it's true.
00:25:48All hail King Posa!
00:25:50The prize, a World Champion SummerSlam.
00:25:55Today, in Turin, Italy, the quest for glory begins as the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments
00:26:02commence.
00:26:03Top superstars from Raw and SmackDown look to survive and advance to the finals at the night of champions in
00:26:10Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:26:12Who will earn a World Championship opportunity?
00:26:16Who will seize their destiny and become the next King and Queen of the Ring?
00:26:24Last night of the Clash in Italy post-show, the brackets were announced.
00:26:28Run us through them, Corey.
00:26:29An absolutely stacked field as it always historically has been.
00:26:33A series of fatal four-way matches will determine who move on to the next round.
00:26:38Tonight, we get to look forward to Roxanne Perez, Io Sky, Julia, and Lash Legend all battling out to make
00:26:45it to the next round.
00:26:46Look on the other side of the field, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Lyra Valkyria, and Women's Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruka.
00:26:56And let's take a look at the men's side of things.
00:26:59All of these men jockeying for the opportunity to challenge either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
00:27:05The winner getting an opportunity in one of the main events at the biggest party of the summer tonight.
00:27:12Penta, Ova Femi, Solo Sokoa, and Carmelo Hayes kick things off.
00:27:18And let's get to that matchup right now.
00:27:45The following is a first-round match in the King of the Ring Tournament.
00:27:52Introducing first from Inca-Napé, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos,
00:28:00he is the Intercontinental Champion.
00:28:06Penta!
00:28:08The man is a star no matter where he goes in the world.
00:28:13And up next, Fatal 4-Way Match,
00:28:16who advances in the King of the Ring Tournament live on Netflix.
00:28:33Well, Corey, if anyone has the momentum to be the King of the Ring,
00:28:37it is this man, the Intercontinental Champion, Penta.
00:28:40Penta has vowed to be a fighting Intercontinental Champion and has absolutely delivered on his promise.
00:28:47But Penta would love as much as anyone in the field to punch his ticket to Minneapolis to SummerSlam.
00:28:54Yeah, this is a first-round matchup.
00:28:56Of course, the winners will head into the semifinals of this tournament.
00:29:00The finals will take place at Night of Champions the last Saturday of this month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:29:05And as Corey mentioned earlier, you win the tournament, you get a title match.
00:29:13One of the main events in SummerSlam.
00:29:14Well, luck has certainly been on the side of Penta in recent months,
00:29:18as well as his brother, Ray Phoenix, the brand-new AAA World Cruiserweight Champion.
00:29:23As of this past Saturday night, the Lucha Brothers running strong in the WWE Universe.
00:29:29Yeah, pretty exciting news that we get to see Mask vs. Mask in its entirety,
00:29:33immediately following Raw, right here on Netflix.
00:29:36You want your shot, well, I guess you wait till next year.
00:29:39I'm at the top, get respect while I get big.
00:29:43Who got a problem, huh? Tell them to step here.
00:29:47One year.
00:29:48Because I'm the greatest of all around the baby.
00:29:51Yes, from Boston, Massachusetts,
00:29:55weighing in for 210 pounds,
00:30:02Carmelo Hayes!
00:30:03Corey, could it be him,
00:30:07Carmelo Hayes,
00:30:08who advances in the King of the Ring tournament?
00:30:12This tournament could be the opportunity Carmelo Hayes has been waiting for his entire career.
00:30:17Hayes is a young man who seems to perpetually be on the doorstep
00:30:21of greatness.
00:30:22All that's left to do is kick down that door
00:30:25and make the world learn your name.
00:30:27A former United States Champion,
00:30:29Carmelo Hayes can never be bet against
00:30:31because Melo don't miss.
00:30:33And, you know, he's not shy either, Corey.
00:30:35Walked out and told Rick Williams on SmackDown,
00:30:38I want my United States Championship back.
00:30:42Carmelo Hayes held that championship proudly,
00:30:45defended it regularly in open challenges,
00:30:47and Melo would love another chance.
00:31:11Next, accompanied by Tala Tunga,
00:31:16weighing in for 250 pounds,
00:31:21Solo Sikoa!
00:31:30This is a fatal four-way match.
00:31:33is the determined who advances into the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
00:31:38Solo Sikoa joins Carmelo Hayes and the Intercontinental Champion,
00:31:42Penta,
00:31:42already in the ring for this matchup.
00:31:44But what's interesting here, Corey,
00:31:46is the fact that Tala Tunga,
00:31:47of Solo Sikoa's MFTs,
00:31:49is accompanied Solo Sikoa to the ring
00:31:51because remember the rules of a fatal four-way.
00:31:54No disqualification,
00:31:56no count-out,
00:31:57Tala Tunga,
00:31:58free to do as he so pleases.
00:32:00And after the closing moments of Clash in Italy,
00:32:03one has to wonder,
00:32:04is Solo's master plan to win the King of the Ring tournament,
00:32:08to earn his way to SummerSlam,
00:32:10to then challenge the World Heavyweight Champion,
00:32:12Roman Reigns?
00:32:13And what Corey is referring to is after Tribal Combat,
00:32:15as Roman and the Usos and Jacob Batu are leaving the arena,
00:32:19Solo Sikoa and Tala Tunga are in the crowd looking on.
00:32:22So you have to wonder,
00:32:23what does that mean?
00:32:24What does that mean for the future of not only Reigns' bloodline,
00:32:27but the MFT?
00:32:28Look at the size of the behemoth Tala Tunga.
00:32:33With an attitude as big as he is bad.
00:32:37A monster of a human being
00:32:40certainly enhances Solo Sikoa's chances in this fatal four-way.
00:32:49баhtr Repl."
00:32:51The MFT!
00:32:51The MFT!
00:32:51We got it.
00:32:53We got it!
00:32:54Go on!
00:32:58We got it!
00:40:55Obafemi's been taken out outside the ring by Solo Sokoa,
00:40:58who is now back into the fray.
00:41:01Moments ago, Femi driven hip-first into the steel steps by Solo Sokoa.
00:41:07And Femi, of course, can be nowhere near 100% after that matchup with Lesnar last night.
00:41:14Seven F-Fives.
00:41:16One through our announce table.
00:41:22Solo now backing it up to Penta.
00:41:25This crowd in Italy tonight is magic.
00:41:29No doubt about it.
00:41:31And Femi, whoa!
00:41:32Closeline!
00:41:34Running into Solo Sokoa like Miles Garrett.
00:41:37Home of Femi now.
00:41:39Which coast?
00:41:41Super kick!
00:41:43Solo Sokoa, first 48 by Hayes!
00:41:47Penta with a kick!
00:41:49Oba staggered!
00:41:50Yeah, but Hayes can't believe Oba's still on his feet after that first 48.
00:41:55Oh!
00:41:57Shoulder first to the post.
00:41:58The quickness pays off.
00:41:59And again, an opportunity for Penta to Solo or Hayes here.
00:42:03And now Talatanga gets involved.
00:42:06Driving Femi into the steel post.
00:42:08And Solo says, one more!
00:42:10And this monster now assaulting Femi!
00:42:13No disqualifications!
00:42:16And Femi sent it to the crowd!
00:42:21The seven-foot weapon of the MFT.
00:42:25Talatanga paying off.
00:42:26But keep your eyes on the Intercontinental Champion!
00:42:29Penta!
00:42:29Tumpe caught Hilo!
00:42:34Carmelo Hayes gets in the mix!
00:42:36Hayes almost overshot Penta.
00:42:39Scrambling to get the champion back in the ring!
00:42:42Hayes gonna go up top.
00:42:43Carmelo Hayes looking to put this one away.
00:42:46Hayes now.
00:42:47Nobody home.
00:42:49Roll through.
00:42:49Sokoa with a big clothesline!
00:42:52Penta with a kick!
00:42:54Non-stop action!
00:42:56Fatal!
00:42:56Four-way!
00:42:58Solo just uncorked a hellacious clothesline to the Intercontinental Champion!
00:43:02Samoan spike!
00:43:03Hayes able to duck underneath!
00:43:05Carmelo Hayes now!
00:43:07Face first goes Sokoa!
00:43:08And Penta hooking Hayes for a Penta driver!
00:43:13Cover now by the Intercontinental Champion!
00:43:15Solo Sokoa saving the matchup!
00:43:18Non-stop action on Monday Night Raw!
00:43:22Solo!
00:43:24Come on!
00:43:25Solo!
00:43:26This is what it means to become King of the Ring!
00:43:29A dozen WWE Hall of Famers have won the King of the Ring Tournament over the years!
00:43:36The very first King of the Ring, 1980!
00:43:39Oh, wait a minute!
00:43:43Obafemi has risen!
00:43:46Tonga got caught!
00:43:47Femi made it pay!
00:43:50And now Obafemi!
00:43:52Oh, but did you hear that?
00:43:54Did you hear that?
00:43:55They heard that across the Mediterranean!
00:43:58A spinebuster by Femi!
00:44:01Obafemi is on the loose!
00:44:03Look out, fellas!
00:44:03Colataga sent over the announce table!
00:44:07Femi!
00:44:10Yes!
00:44:12Sokoa sends him across the ring!
00:44:15This is nuts!
00:44:18Obafemi!
00:44:19With Sokoa up!
00:44:23Fall for grace!
00:44:26Obafemi advances in the King of the Ring!
00:44:29Here is your winner!
00:44:34Obafemi!
00:44:37All I can say is, wow!
00:44:39Just wow!
00:44:43One bad arm and all!
00:44:47The Ruler returned tonight as a one-man army on a mission!
00:44:52That is a seven-footer!
00:44:55Tala Tonga launched into an announce table!
00:44:59Solo Sokoa meets the same fate!
00:45:02And then, a thunderous fall from grace for Solo!
00:45:08And Obafemi advances in the King of the Ring tournament!
00:45:12Let's give it up to all four men in this Fatal 4-Way match tonight!
00:45:18This is what the King of the Ring tournament is all about!
00:45:21Star-making moments!
00:45:22Star-making moments!
00:45:31Brock Lesnar questioned me.
00:45:36He asked me if I could take an ass whooping.
00:45:41He said, Obafemi, what do you do after receiving an ass whooping?
00:45:48Obafemi, what do you do after receiving an ass whooping?

00:49:18i have to
00:49:19put an end to the vision and what has occurred to me is that sometimes the easiest way out of
00:49:25a
00:49:25situation is to run right through it
00:49:45while braun breaker seems to unanimously be agreed upon as the future of this industry

00:54:30was ready for the moment
00:54:32ready for the spotlight
00:54:33and people asking those questions

00:54:37intercontinental champion
00:54:39the man Becky Lynch
00:54:41Sol Ruka stepped up to the big time
00:54:43and showed the world
00:54:44this is where she belongs
00:54:46and of course Becky Lynch
00:54:47just can't take a backseat
00:54:49can she?
00:54:49She's been on social media
00:54:50all day today
00:54:51blaming everyone for her loss last night
00:54:54including Jessica Carr
00:54:56the official
00:54:57the sneakers worn by Sol Ruka
00:55:00I mean just about everything

00:55:10she's still a long time
00:55:16and she's hot
00:55:16she's not going to need to make
00:55:19do you know what she's saying?
00:55:27yeah
00:55:28yeah
00:55:29yeah
00:55:30yeah
00:55:33yeah
00:55:34yeah
00:55:34yeah
00:55:34yeah
00:55:34yeah
00:55:34yeah
00:55:35yeah
00:56:06You deserve it!
00:56:09You deserve it!
00:56:11You deserve it!
00:56:13You deserve it!
00:56:14Sol, all of Torino, chanting, you deserve it.
00:56:17Big win.
00:56:19Congratulations.
00:56:24Did you ever think that less than a month after officially joining Monday Night Raw that
00:56:29you would be standing here in the middle of the ring as a champion?
00:56:32Kathy, this has been a dream come true.
00:56:42I believed that I could be a champion.
00:56:45But most importantly, all of you believed in me too.
00:56:55So from the bottom of my heart, grazie.
00:57:26And honestly, props to Becky Lynch.
00:57:30I know that she was very against having this match in the first place.
00:57:35I know that she thought that I wasn't ready.
00:57:38But she still came out here and she gave me the chance to test myself against the very best.
00:57:45And I proved her wrong.
00:57:51And it's not just me saying it, everyone is saying it.
00:58:01But as tough as it was to beat Becky Lynch, my work here is just getting started.
00:58:09This title deserves a fighting champion.
00:58:13You all deserve a fighting champion.
00:58:16And that is exactly what I am going to be.
00:58:22But if you think that I'm just some rookie, or if you underestimate me, like Becky did,
00:58:29well, at this point, I think we all know how that's going to end.
00:58:33Your soul will be mine.
00:58:35And we will hear the exact words we heard last night.
00:58:39Sol Ruka, the Intercontinental Champion!
00:58:55Congratulations once again to Sol Ruka.
00:58:59But Corey, now the tough part begins as you go from Hunter to Hunted.
00:59:05Everyone wants a shot at the title.
00:59:07An old adage in this business, it's one thing to win a championship, it's another entirely to keep it.
00:59:12Savor the moment.
00:59:14Congratulations, Sol Ruka.
00:59:16Get ready for the run of your life.
00:59:17And great respect shown by our fans here tonight in Turin, Italy, for Sol Ruka, the new Intercontinental Champion.
00:59:24What a night last night at Clash in Italy.
00:59:26And I want to show you something that aired on social media that happened after the show went off the
00:59:31air.
00:59:32It was an interesting scene backstage.
00:59:56I'll get to him later, dude, trust me.
00:59:58Hey, but Jacob, Pete, you got to stay on, isn't it?
01:00:03You're the only one that understands the tough love, and that's what he needs to understand.
01:00:07Okay, please.
01:00:09As a matter of fact, let me holler at you real quick.
01:00:12You've had this one before, but you never tasted the other one.
01:00:18I need you to go win that king in the ring.
01:00:22Take it.
01:00:23Go to SummerSlam and take the other one.
01:00:26Come on, man.
01:00:26Don't ever forget, bro.
01:00:29There's two wins of the table.
01:00:32I need you to level up.
01:00:33Yeah, Moose.
01:00:35Love.
01:00:35Get it.
01:00:36Respect.
01:00:38Hey, Jim.
01:00:40Stay with me.
01:00:41I need you.
01:00:43He needs to do this on his own.
01:00:47He's got it.
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:50Main event, Jay has his marching orders.
01:01:05The probably is a tag team match for the one fall.
01:01:10Introducing first, the team of Dragon Lee and WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
01:01:26Rey Mysterio is in Monterey, Mexico Saturday night.
01:01:30Told me it was one of the loudest crowds he's ever heard in his career.
01:01:33Italy giving Mexico a run for its money.
01:01:37We've got tag team action on tap.
01:01:39Dragon Lee, Rey Mysterio versus Ethan Page and Rusev.
01:01:58I'll tell you one thing right now.
01:02:00If you thought that Fatal 4-Way was something, wait till you see this tag team matchup tonight
01:02:06and this team of Rey Mysterio and the man that Rey once called the future of Lucha Libre,
01:02:12Dragon Lee.
01:02:13So much mutual respect between these two luchadors.
01:02:16Rey arguably the greatest luchador of all time.
01:02:20Dragon Lee well on his way to become a history maker in his own right.
01:02:24But it will not be easy for this duo.
01:02:27Not tonight.
01:02:28Rey Mysterio, who is hoping to earn an opportunity in what will be an unbelievable matchup
01:02:34if it happens with the Intercontinental Champion, Penta.
01:02:37The victory for Rey over Rusev last week had to look good in the eyes of our general manager, Adam
01:02:42Pearce.
01:02:43Rey Mysterio, truly a timeless competitor with his sights set on the Intercontinental Champion.
01:02:49We're talking about a man who's already in the AAA and WWE Halls of Fame.
01:02:53And he's the current general manager in AAA while still seeking gold here on Monday Night Raw.
01:03:00And we want to remind everyone, speaking of AAA, that immediately following Monday Night Raw tonight,
01:03:04you will see that classic mask versus mask match from this past Saturday night in Monterey, Mexico,
01:03:10in its entirety, in a special encore presentation right here on Netflix.
01:03:19Rey Mysterio is on commentary with me and JBL, a night we will never forget.
01:03:26As I said before, if you watch Saturday night, you have a chance to relive it once again.
01:03:31And if you happen to miss it, don't miss it again.
01:03:34I watched it on an airplane. I'm on my way to Italy.
01:03:37Incredible.
01:03:45Rumor has it Rusev watched it while doing a little bongaranga.
01:03:49What?
01:03:49Exactly.
01:03:52I don't think I want to know.
01:03:53No, you don't, Mike.
01:03:58That's Ethan Page's name for me.
01:04:01Ethan kindly requested that I refer to you in a professional manner as Mike.
01:04:05Who am I to doubt all ego?
01:04:20A lot to dissect when it comes to this tag team of Rusev and Ethan Page.
01:04:27I want to get Corey's take on what I believe is an alliance that I'm not sure is really an
01:04:34alliance.
01:04:34I really don't understand your personal issues with Ethan Page.
01:04:37Maybe we can dive into those tonight.
01:04:55Well, WWE will make a historic return to Mexico this September when, for the first time in 15 years,
01:05:02Friday Night SmackDown emanates live from Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Friday, September 11th.
01:05:09Followed by Monday Night Raw at the same venue on Monday, September 14th, 2026.
01:05:15Additionally, the WWE Mexico live tour in Guadalajara on Wednesday, September 9th, followed by Monterey Thursday, September 10th.
01:05:24Tickets for all events will go on sale this coming Friday, June 5th.
01:05:29Can't wait to spend the weekend in Mexico City.
01:05:33Well, tag team action here tonight.
01:05:35That team of Rusev and Ethan Page sit to take on Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.
01:05:39Let's show you how this matchup came about last week on Monday Night Raw.
01:05:43It was Rey versus Rusev, the winner hoping to earn a future Intercontinental Championship opportunity.
01:05:48And Rey Mysterio once again defying father time throughout the match,
01:05:52but eventually got caught in the clutches of the line of Bulgaria.
01:05:55But Rey, with his infinite quickness, able to roll up Rusev and pick up the W.
01:06:01Unfortunately, Rusev was quick to unleash hell in the aftermath,
01:06:06beating Rey Mysterio down until Dragon Lee, Rey's protege, would hit the scene,
01:06:11trying to come to the aid of the Hall of Famer.
01:06:16Unfortunately for all ego, he would be a similar fate to Rusev.
01:06:20A Lucha Libre beatdown last week on Monday Night Raw.
01:06:25So we know that Rey and Dragon Lee will coexist as a team.
01:06:30Rey Mysterio once called Dragon Lee the future of Lucha Libre.
01:06:34In fact, Dragon Lee still carries around a mask that was gifted to him by Rey Mysterio a number of
01:06:39years ago.
01:06:40But what about the team on the other side of the ring?
01:06:42Rusev and all-ego Ethan Page.
01:06:45This is a very strange alliance.
01:06:46I'm not even sure we can call it an alliance, at least from a Page's perspective.
01:06:50This guy's been trying to undermine Rusev at every turn.
01:06:54Well, are you implying that Rusev doesn't have the wherewithal to undermine Ethan Page?
01:06:58You think Rusev doesn't have any ulterior motives?
01:07:01Ethan Page took Penta to the limit at Saturday night's main event
01:07:05and came within an eyelash of becoming Intercontinental Champion.
01:07:08But did he win?
01:07:09No, he didn't finish the job.
01:07:10Okay, so back to the line, as they say.
01:07:12Well, listen, I personally believe Ethan was so impressive, he deserves another opportunity.
01:07:16And maybe Rusev is trying to learn a thing or two from Ethan Page.
01:07:21Maybe Rusev believes he can improve upon Ethan's performance
01:07:24and be the man to take out the Intercontinental Champion, Penta himself.
01:07:28Well, a tag made to Rusev.
01:07:29I'm going to tell Rusev later on tonight that you said he needs to learn a few things
01:07:33from all-ego Ethan Page.
01:07:34Let's see how well that sits.
01:07:36Listen, you trying to get me bonged around that cold?
01:07:39What kind of partner you are?
01:07:41And Rusev fired up against Dragon Lee here tonight.
01:07:45Dragon Lee is a high fire, but we've seen, Corey, he can get aggressive.
01:07:49He can go toe-to-toe with the toughest of them.
01:07:51And on the other side of the coin, as big and powerful as Rusev is,
01:07:55for a man of his size, he is incredibly fast and even more agile.
01:07:59You can never count Rusev out of a battle, no matter the style he's forced to utilize.
01:08:04I wonder really what Rusev thinks about this alliance with Page.
01:08:08I think he just tolerates the guy.
01:08:10He's rather annoying.
01:08:11Are you implying that Rusev has no free will?
01:08:14Obviously, Rusev signed on the dotted line, agreed to the matchup.
01:08:17Rusev believes there's something to gain from this contest.
01:08:20Well, I think Page just humors him.
01:08:22And now Ethan Page, all-ego Ethan Page.
01:08:25You've been around this game long enough.
01:08:27You keep your friends close, you keep your enemies closer.
01:08:29Maybe that's what Ethan Page and Rusev are doing.
01:08:32It's brilliant, if you ask me.
01:08:33So Rhea and Charlotte do that last night, right?
01:08:35Exactly.
01:08:36And now look at Dragon Lee sending Ethan Page into the corner.
01:08:40All-ego Ethan Page, the longest reigning NXT North American champion in history.
01:08:44Dragon Lee also held that title.
01:08:46And Lee up over the top with a kick.
01:08:48Wrecking ball dropkick rocks the jaw of all-ego.
01:08:53Dragon Lee right now, and fuego.
01:08:56Oh, and the dropkick right to the face.
01:08:58Into the middle of the ring.
01:08:59Cover now.
01:09:00Hook of the leg, and a kick out by Ethan Page.
01:09:05Oh, Ethan!
01:09:07Oh, Ethan!
01:09:08And this crowd has been electric all night.
01:09:12Also very courteous, reminding Dragon Lee that that was, in fact, only two.
01:09:16And Ethan Page now.
01:09:20He'll be sent into the ropes.
01:09:21Tag made.
01:09:22I don't think Dragon Lee realizes it.
01:09:24Oh, no, I think you're right, Cole, but great wherewithal by the Lion of Bulgaria.
01:09:29And the official Jessica Carr made sure it was a legal tag.
01:09:33Dragon Lee, though, rolls on Lucef.
01:09:34Shoulders down.
01:09:35Kick out at two.
01:09:37Oh, yeah!
01:09:38Oh, yeah!
01:09:40I did speak to the quickness of Lucef moments ago, but let's be honest with ourselves.
01:09:45His speed is no match for the future of Lucha Libre.
01:09:49Dragon Lee.
01:09:50And the same could still be said for the WWE Hall of Famer.
01:10:04Oh, Ethan Page!
01:10:07Brilliant!
01:10:08Lucef from behind now.
01:10:13Slamming Lee to the mat.
01:10:15Now, that was brilliant.
01:10:16I've got to give Ethan Page credit there.
01:10:18They've taken over.
01:10:21They've taken over.
01:10:35Rusev now in control of Dragon Lee due to some spectacular tag team planning
01:10:41on the outside of the ring by all-ego Ethan Page.
01:10:46Oh!
01:10:49And Dragon Lee now right on our announce table.
01:10:51And Page will send him back into the ring.
01:10:53Listen, Page and Rusev.
01:10:55Here's the cover by Page.
01:10:56Hook of the leg and a kick out.
01:10:58Page and Rusev have had success as a team.
01:11:02They knocked off Penta and Javon Evans in a tag match a few weeks back.
01:11:06Yet you still insist on casting aspersions.
01:11:09Cover by Page.
01:11:10And a kick out at two.
01:11:11On the nature of their tag team.
01:11:14I think it's very simple.
01:11:16Two men united by a common goal.
01:11:18Sure, only one can achieve it at a time.
01:11:20But both men can elevate one another in the process.
01:11:23It's a mutually beneficial relationship.
01:11:31And now Rusev a stalking Dragon Lee.
01:11:34What a right hand.
01:11:35Bear paw-like right hand from Rusev.
01:11:39Dragon Lee all out of sorts.
01:11:41Rey Mysterio to this point in the matchup has yet to become the legal competitor for his team.
01:11:47There you go.
01:11:48Cut the ring off.
01:11:49And Dragon Lee fighting back again.
01:11:51Really needs to make a tag.
01:11:54With the former three-time world champion.
01:11:58Dragon Lee trying to fight out of this.
01:12:00But Rusev sends him right back into the corner.
01:12:02And the back of Dragon Lee's neck made contact with the top turnbuckle.
01:12:06That'll rattle your brain spectacularly.
01:12:09Look at this relentless attack by Rusev here.
01:12:14Although the official doing a great job here.
01:12:17Making sure Rey gets out of the ring.
01:12:19No tag was ever made.
01:12:21Rusev with a smirk on his face saying,
01:12:23What are you going to do to me, Rey?
01:12:24You can tell the frustration building within Rey Mysterio.
01:12:29Rusev enjoying every second of this.
01:12:37Oh, did you hear that?
01:12:42Rusev just mocking Dragon Lee at this point.
01:12:45I would not want to be on Rusev's bad side.
01:12:49Dragon Lee fingertips away.
01:12:50Trying to create some space.
01:12:52Trying to make a tag to Rey.
01:12:53I like to think I'm on his good side.
01:12:55And I'm still terrified of him.
01:12:56He doesn't like you.
01:12:57He told me that.
01:12:58And now a bear hug applied by Rusev.
01:13:01Makes a lot of sense.
01:13:04Kind of sucked the air out of Dragon Lee.
01:13:08And the other side of Bruno Sammartino.
01:13:12We are in Italy.
01:13:14Good call.
01:13:14Deep cut.
01:13:27The story of this matchup has been the complete domination of Dragon Lee by the team of Rusev and all
01:13:33-ego Ethan Page.
01:13:34The Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, yet to come into this matchup.
01:13:37Ethan Page and Rusev have worked incredibly well as a unit thus far.
01:13:42Dragon Lee out of the way.
01:13:44Just in time.
01:13:44There goes Rusev over the top.
01:13:46And now Lee's got a chance.
01:13:47Lee's got an opportunity.
01:13:49Rey wants in this matchup.
01:13:51Italy wants Rey in this matchup.
01:13:53This place is live and loud.
01:13:55Ethan trying to prevent Dragon from making a tag.
01:13:58Drag him back to the corner.
01:14:00Come on, Ethan.
01:14:01Come on.
01:14:01And now Rusev back up on the apron to make a tag.
01:14:04Again, working so well as a team.
01:14:06Ethan Page possesses an incredibly high in-ring IQ.
01:14:11Great situational awareness.
01:14:15And now Rusev mocking Rey, the man who beat him last week.
01:14:18And that will draw the official.
01:14:20And it allows a double team now on Dragon Lee.
01:14:24You can see the frustration by Rey.
01:14:26Normally, he would not make a mistake like that.
01:14:28Can you do me a favor, Michael Cole?
01:14:29Can you, for one time tonight, just be honest with the fact that Rusev and Ethan Page
01:14:34are working as a tag team extremely well?
01:14:37They are.
01:14:37Better than Mysterio and Dragon Lee?
01:14:39Thanks to the leadership of Rusev.
01:14:41Listen, there are no leaders.
01:14:42It's a team.
01:14:43They're equals right now.
01:14:45And Lee now sent into the corner.
01:14:46He'll blast Ethan Page.
01:14:48Rusev now runs into a kick.
01:14:51Ethan Page trying to get involved.
01:14:53Dragon Lee fighting out of the corner.
01:14:55Got to love the fight of this young man.
01:14:58Certainly do.
01:14:58Intercepted by Rusev.
01:15:01Desperately reaching for Rey Mysterio.
01:15:05Inching closer.
01:15:08Dragon with a kick.
01:15:10He's got a chance.
01:15:15And Mysterio trying to start a rally for Dragon Lee.
01:15:20Lee's got separation.
01:15:21Can he drag himself across the ring to his partner?
01:15:25Critical moment in this match for Dragon Lee.
01:15:31Rusev trying to...
01:15:32There he makes the tag.
01:15:33Tag!
01:15:34Here comes Rey!
01:15:35Rey and Ethan Page, the legal man in this matchup.
01:15:38There goes Page.
01:15:40And Zagiri takes down All-Ego.
01:15:43Rey who hopes to earn a future intercontinental championship opportunity against Penton.
01:15:48And that's what we'd all love to see.
01:15:50Putting on a show tonight with Page.
01:15:51Look at that.
01:15:52The sent out off the top rope.
01:15:54Rey Mysterio somewhere along the line.
01:15:57Found the fountain of youth, ladies and gentlemen.
01:15:59And a kick out by Page.
01:16:04And Rusev knocked off the apron.
01:16:06Keep your eyes on Page.
01:16:07All-Ego takes advantage.
01:16:09And again, great ring awareness for Page.
01:16:13And once again, wonderful teamwork by the team of Rusev and Page.
01:16:19Rusev drew Mysterio's attention.
01:16:21Page turned the ties.
01:16:23I have to admit, I've been impressed.
01:16:24And also impressed here with Rey Mysterio.
01:16:28Rusev out of the ring.
01:16:30How could you not be impressed by Rey Mysterio?
01:16:34Page sends Mysterio across the ring.
01:16:36Rey hanging on.
01:16:37Rey to the knees.
01:16:38In position.
01:16:39That's for taking a parenthood class.
01:16:45And Rusev.
01:16:49Dragon Lee makes him pay.
01:16:53Oh!
01:16:54Incidental contact.
01:16:55Page from behind.
01:16:56And Rey kicks out at two.
01:16:58Almost cost Rey Mysterio as he ran into his partner on the apron.
01:17:03And again, you don't have to like it.
01:17:05But you have to give credit where it's due.
01:17:07Ethan Page recognized the situation immediately.
01:17:10Called the audible.
01:17:12And got control for his team again.
01:17:14A number of times in this match tonight that Page has done that.
01:17:18A tremendous in-ring IQ for this man.
01:17:21And Rey with an elbow to the face.
01:17:24Ray Mysterio's second rope lands on the shoulders of all ego.
01:17:28Ethan Page.
01:17:28Uh-oh.
01:17:30Caught him.
01:17:31Oh, wow.
01:17:31Puts Mysterio in position here.
01:17:33Boston Crab.
01:17:35Boston Crab center of the ring.
01:17:37Rey with nowhere to go.
01:17:39Dragon Lee with a kick.
01:17:41Here comes Rusev.
01:17:45Dragon Lee sends Rusev into Page.
01:17:48A little payback.
01:17:50Big knee rocks the Bulgarian.
01:17:53And Dragon Lee, who loves to spread his wings and fly with fire.
01:18:00Wow.
01:18:00Pumpe Suicida.
01:18:04And out-ring.
01:18:06He sends Ethan Page into position.
01:18:09Don't forget to dial the country code.
01:18:13Plus 52.
01:18:15In Mexico.
01:18:166-1-9 by Rey.
01:18:18Dropping the dime.
01:18:20Cover.
01:18:21Rey and Lee with the win.
01:18:23What a match.
01:18:25Here are your winners.
01:18:27The team of Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio.
01:18:33The celebration for these two.
01:18:36Mysterio, of course, we mentioned before.
01:18:38The general manager of AAA.
01:18:40And immediately following Raw tonight on Netflix.
01:18:42You'll hear Rey Mysterio.
01:18:44You'll hear JBL.
01:18:45You'll hear Corey Graves.
01:18:46It's a special encore presentation of Mask vs. Mask from this past Saturday night.
01:18:52Immediately following Raw.
01:18:53Right here tonight on Netflix.
01:18:56I cannot wait to watch it again.
01:18:58And hear your stellar commentary.
01:19:00Thanks, Cole.
01:19:03Yeah.
01:19:03It was a cover match.
01:19:04We don't dwell on it.
01:19:05They just don't have this gold.
01:19:07Yeah.
01:19:07And you remember last week?
01:19:08Of course.
01:19:08I talked to Rey Mysterio.
01:19:10You know what he wants?
01:19:10Yeah.
01:19:11He wants a crack at this gold.
01:19:12Perfect.
01:19:12You know who else wants it?
01:19:13Well.
01:19:14The WWE Universe.
01:19:15Wow.
01:19:16Yes.
01:19:16Let me work on it.
01:19:17I'm going to make it happen because we all want it.
01:19:19And I think it's boxing.
01:19:19He's just awesome, boss.
01:19:21Thank you so much.
01:19:22I appreciate it.
01:19:23Don't you go anywhere.
01:19:27LA Night.
01:19:28What is on your mind?
01:19:30What's on your mind?
01:19:31Because I just saw the beginning of the night and it's a bloodline old out there.
01:19:34And we're the twos and the ones and the ones and the twos.
01:19:35And then last week I'm seeing you making house calls to Roman Reigns locker room.
01:19:39You ain't ever come to my little locker room not once.
01:19:41I always got to come to find you in these little hallways.
01:19:42Wait just a second.
01:19:43What do you think you saw?
01:19:44Hold on.
01:19:44Adam Pearce.
01:19:45Are you feeling oozy?
01:19:47Oh, God.
01:19:47Here we go.
01:19:47I feel like you're feeling oozy.
01:19:49Since you want to rewind the clock back on the bloodline, maybe we need to go ahead and
01:19:51get you a little honorary ooze t-shirt.
01:19:53We'll walk up to the merchandise stand.
01:19:55We'll get you a little oo-falafa.
01:19:56And if you keep doing enough favors, maybe Roman Reigns will bring you in as part of the
01:20:00family.
01:20:00No, maybe I'm talking to Roman Reigns because he's the world champion ahead of a world
01:20:03championship match.
01:20:04Which, by the way, is nobody's business but mine and the world champion.
01:20:06That's what was going on.
01:20:07Let me just check something.
01:20:07I don't know what you saw.
01:20:09What I saw right now is I'm seeing you giving energy to me that I don't remember you ever
01:20:13giving to Roman Reigns.
01:20:14If somebody told you you could bow up to me, somebody told you the wrong story, I will
01:20:17pull you out of retirement just to put you back in.
01:20:19L.A.
01:20:20Now that we got that straight, the bottom line is this.
01:20:23Well, it looks to me like the only person you want to be the world heavyweight champion
01:20:26is Roman Reigns.
01:20:27It ain't Jacob Fatu.
01:20:27It damn sure ain't me.
01:20:29But here's your opportunity.
01:20:30Tell me you want me to succeed.
01:20:31Make me believe.
01:20:32Here's what I believe.
01:20:33Jacob Fatu is a liability.
01:20:34And you're going to believe whatever you want.
01:20:36But here's the bottom line.
01:20:37You think I'm playing favorites and I want to put the bloodline back together?
01:20:40No.
01:20:40I'm trying to keep family blood in line.
01:20:44No, no, no, no, no.
01:20:44What's that?
01:20:45What's that?
01:20:47You've got to be kidding me.
01:20:50Makes me sick.
01:20:52Does L.A. Knight have a point?
01:20:54Well, here's a man that knows L.A. Knight extremely well.
01:20:57And he's in our main event tonight.
01:20:59Braun Breaker of the Mission against Seth Rollins live on Netflix.
01:21:07So, now we're gonna do it.
01:21:07And here is Quirrell Piana.
01:21:07Let's play.
