00:01:24ladies and gentlemen please welcome
00:01:32now there's a reason la night was looking at the king of the ring crown that's because he has an

00:02:20yeah boom berkeley out of the building that's on the quarterback not the wide receiver
00:02:26try it again oh
00:02:28that's on the way baby tugboat
00:02:31you
00:02:33you
00:02:45you
00:02:47you
00:02:48you
00:02:49you
00:02:51you
00:03:13let me talk to you
00:03:21friday
00:03:22friday
00:03:24smackdown
00:03:24fatal four-way for the king of the ring
00:03:28finn balor
00:03:31royce keys
00:03:33jay uso
00:03:36and the man standing right here with everybody saying
00:03:40l a
00:03:43jay uso
00:03:46ordinarily i'd walk out here and i'd say on friday i'm going to go through all four of them
00:03:51i'm going on to the king of the ring i'm going to win that and then i'm facing roman
00:03:55reigns for the world heavyweight championship
00:04:11you know what i'm not even mad at you for chanting that i'm not mad at you you know
00:04:17why because roman reigns has gone to you roman reigns has pulled the wool over your eyes
00:04:23and tonight i'm not going to come out here and say that i'm going to win the king of the
00:04:27ring
00:04:27and i'm going to go on to face him you know why because i kind of consider
00:04:31the landscape right now roman reigns is a guy whose empires on the verge of crumbling
00:04:38so he's out here trying to hold on to any power he can he's keeping us all trapped in that
00:04:44bloodline
00:04:45vortex so i can't think that on friday somebody from the bloodline ain't gonna come down here
00:04:52and interfere in that match to help jay usso win
00:04:56and i know i know i've heard the the warnings from jimmy usso from jay usso
00:05:01don't talk about the family it's not your business
00:05:07but boys unlike you i don't take orders from roman reigns
00:05:13i don't fall in line to a tribal chief in this neighborhood i am the chief
00:05:22so as chief la knight let's go ahead and give me the benefit of the doubt let's say i go
00:05:27on and i
00:05:28win on friday night i go on to the king of the ring i win that too and then i
00:05:32am facing roman reigns
00:05:34look at him right in the eye for that world heavyweight championship
00:05:39you can't think for one second that every single member of the bloodline ain't going to come down
00:05:44here jacob jimmy jay john jacob jingleheimer schmidt
00:05:57contract his name is my name too and he's probably going to get involved in that match
00:06:01as will probably their mom their dad their uncle their aunt their daughter their grandfather
00:06:07maybe the neighbor down the street just to make sure roman reigns is still the champion and guess
00:06:13who's going to put the big old stamp on it adam pierce
00:06:19now i ain't going to go as far as to say that adam pierce is in the pocket of roman
00:06:24reigns or the
00:06:25bloodline but what i am going to say is there is a stark market difference in the way that
00:06:32adam pierce talked to me last week and then a difference in the way that he talked to roman
00:06:37reigns the week before he's clearly got his favorites and i ain't it but that's okay
00:06:43i may be unchosen but every single one of you you chose me
00:06:51and more importantly than any of that i chose myself which means i do it my way which means i
00:06:59get the job
00:06:59done and i will make you one single solitary promise which is that i don't know how to quit
00:07:05i don't know how to stop i can't stop the undeniable kevorka and i can't stop being l a night
00:07:14and with that being the case i want to go ahead and wish every single man in that match on
00:07:19friday
00:07:19luck and i especially want to wish jay uso luck i want to wish you so much luck jay that
00:07:25you're able to
00:07:26do this on your own without calling your whole damn family down the ringside
00:07:44i took a little bit a little bit longer than i thought for jay to make his way out here
00:07:52the usos have warned l.a night over the past few weeks cory to keep roman's name and the family's
00:07:59name out of his mouth and i understand how it can be attractive to heed that warning but let's be
00:08:06perfectly honest roman reigns and the entire bloodline made l.a night's life a living hell
00:08:12for a long long time l.a night isn't about to forgive and forget
00:08:20here comes main event jay uso let's just say jay's temper hasn't been his strong suit recently not at all
00:08:57i'm about to give up
00:09:15I said main event J. Usopp is now in your...
00:09:29I said main event J. Usopp is now in your...
00:09:33I said main event J. Usopp is now in your...
00:10:02I said main event J. Usopp is now in your...
00:10:04Bears wanted to run it back.
00:10:12You don't possibly expect me to stand here and watch this.
00:10:16Tell me.
00:10:19Tell me why you came down here to interrupt me.
00:10:23Because whenever my family calls for me, I'm going to answer that call, L.A.
00:10:30So I need you to stay in your damn lane.
00:10:32Hey, as far as me and you, yeah, I'm in the King in the Ring tournament.
00:10:37Yeah, I don't need no luck, L.A., because I'm still him.
00:10:42I'm still the arena shaker.
00:10:44I'm still made of EJ Uso.
00:10:46And Friday night, I'm going to show you who exactly the hell I am, Uso.
00:10:52This show warning shot.
00:11:04Well, J.Uso not only putting L.A. Knight on notice, but also putting Finn Balor and Royce Keyes on
00:11:13notice as well.
00:11:14As they battle it out, fighting out on SmackDown.
00:11:17Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.
00:11:23That's okay.
00:11:24You're all right to boo that.
00:11:25I understand.
00:11:26It's fun to do.
00:11:27I did it at WrestleMania.
00:11:28I understand it.
00:11:30I don't fault you.
00:11:32But my man, really, man to man, I think you had me wrong.
00:11:39I think you misunderstand who I am.
00:11:41I respect the fact that you're passionate about your family.
00:11:45I love the fact that you're protective over your family.
00:11:48That's how you should be.
00:11:49That's how a good man should be.
00:11:56So, with that in mind, again, I want to reiterate, Friday, I want to wish you good luck.
00:12:03And from the bottom of my heart, all the way from top to bottom, screw your family.
00:12:16Uh-oh.
00:12:17Uh-oh.
00:12:20Oh, they're fighting words, Cole.
00:12:23L.A. Knight doesn't care what he says or who he says it to.
00:12:27And now, a man who's been a voice of reason, Jimmy Uso.
00:12:31And Knight's never been a man who's chosen his words carefully, but maybe he should start.
00:12:40I'm about to beat that ass.
00:12:42I'm about to beat all over that.
00:12:44I'm about to beat all over that.
00:12:57Guys, do you have a second?
00:12:59Yeah.
00:13:00I'm glad you're both here.
00:13:01I needed it.
00:13:01We're good, man.
00:13:02We're good.
00:13:02Take it easy, Canard.
00:13:04Really?
00:13:05Despite you two cut my mask off, now I know that you know what the mask means.
00:13:11Lucha Libre is all about culture and respect.
00:13:15Have we heard what you said to Fenix and Penta?
00:13:18You gotta stop beating yourself up, man.
00:13:20Look, I know a year ago, when you started this whole fiasco, your mission was to make fun and disrespect
00:13:26Lucha Libre.
00:13:28And yeah, at one point, I did want to knock your head off your shoulders.
00:13:32Fair enough.
00:13:33But after watching your mask versus mask match, that was true Lucha Libre.
00:13:39I felt that.
00:13:40I felt it too, really.
00:13:42So, consider your apology accepted, man.
00:13:46Honestly.
00:13:48Thank you both.
00:13:48No worries.
00:13:49Appreciate that.
00:13:49Hey, just one second before you leave.
00:13:54You know, I've known you for a minute now.
00:13:56And I'm really not one to judge.
00:14:01But you might want to look back a little further, because I'm pretty sure that you've said and done some
00:14:06things that you might regret way before you put that mask on.
00:14:13Just think about that.
00:14:46I cannot wait.
00:14:48And Corey, I know you can't either.
00:14:51In the wake of the mask versus mask match, Chad Gableson, he learned firsthand that he could not defeat the
00:14:58spirit of Lucha Libre.
00:15:00Well, the spirit of Lucha Libre will be on full display for the world to see with the Intercontinental Championship
00:15:06on the line next on Netflix.
00:15:21No matter where this man goes, the Intercontinental Champion Penta around the world, including tonight in Paris.
00:15:28They love the champ.
00:15:30The ethos of no fear, zero fear, zero miedo transcends language, transcends borders.
00:15:38And that's exactly how this man lives his life.
00:15:41A proud Intercontinental Champion who vowed to defend it regularly.
00:15:46And Penta has done just that.
00:15:49You know what's cool about all this, Corey, is the fact that Penta is the one that wanted to give
00:15:53Rey Mysterio this opportunity.
00:15:55He's always wanted to meet Rey Mysterio in a WWE ring to show the world what Lucha Libre is about.
00:16:01To show the world that he wants to defend the Intercontinental Championship against anyone.
00:16:11Their paths have crossed several times throughout their careers, but never inside of a WWE ring.
00:16:17Especially not with the Intercontinental Championship on the line.
00:16:22Two of the most recognizable masks in the world of Lucha doing battle for what Ethan Page refers to as
00:16:30the token of everything.
00:16:38excellence.
00:16:41I wonder what sort of nerve, if any, the champion is feeling moments before battling his idol on the biggest
00:16:48stage possible.
00:16:49A pretty good word.
00:16:49A pretty good word.
00:16:57sing, that's all I want to say.
00:17:01A pretty good word.
00:17:04A pretty good word.
00:17:07A pretty good word.
00:17:11A pretty good word.
00:17:14I wonder who we're off by external defender.

00:25:46how do you take the title away
00:25:47Corey?

00:26:33by Rey
00:26:34and the magnitude of this matchup
00:26:35beyond the Intercontinental Championship
00:26:37can't be overstated
00:26:38in Mexico
00:26:39Penta is a superstar
00:26:41a megastar
00:26:42Rey Mysterio
00:26:43is a deity
00:26:44Rey Mysterio
00:26:46is breathing rarefied air
00:26:47not only in their native Mexico
00:26:48but around the globe
00:26:50and Penta wants to achieve
00:26:51that same accomplishment
00:26:52that same level of glory
00:26:53that Rey has
00:26:54and how do you do that?
00:26:55by beating Rey Mysterio
00:26:57an opportunity tonight
00:26:58for Penta
00:27:03and Penta hushed the crowd
00:27:04so they could hear that chop
00:27:06to Mysterio
00:27:07echoing
00:27:08through the Accor Arena
00:27:09in Paris
00:27:21well the early niceties
00:27:23in this matchup
00:27:24but gone by the wayside
00:27:25this is for the Intercontinental title
00:27:27Penta defending
00:27:28against Rey Mysterio
00:27:30hard move by the champion
00:27:32to sweep the leg
00:27:33of the challenger
00:27:33Rey Mysterio
00:27:36Penta's now cutting a promo
00:27:37on a drone
00:27:37well we talked about this
00:27:39moments ago
00:27:39this is what Penta lives for
00:27:41the man lives to fight
00:27:42now he feels like he's in a fight
00:27:44the fact that he's in the ring
00:27:45with one of the greatest luchadores
00:27:47of all time
00:27:47is now irrelevant
00:27:48it's somebody standing in the way of Penta
00:27:50keeping what's his
00:27:51oh and a kick right to the face of Rey
00:27:53Rey stunned
00:27:54and a step up
00:27:55Benziguri by Penta
00:27:56takes Rey out
00:27:57and now into the corner
00:28:00and Penta
00:28:01right to the midsection
00:28:03driving all the wind
00:28:05out of Rey Mysterio's body
00:28:07Rey looking for respite
00:28:08on the outside
00:28:09I didn't want to be out there
00:28:10though
00:28:11Penta can fly
00:28:12Penta
00:28:13tope can
00:28:14helo
00:28:15can I do that okay?
00:28:17getting there
00:28:19and again champions advantage
00:28:21in this matchup tonight
00:28:22Rey's got to pin
00:28:23or submit the champion
00:28:24the Intercontinental Champion
00:28:25throwing caution to the wind
00:28:27the personification of his ethos
00:28:30Cerro Miedo
00:28:31zero fear
00:28:33one of the reasons he's been
00:28:35the Intercontinental Champion
00:28:36for nearly 100 days
00:28:38do you hear this?
00:28:40we are in Paris, France
00:28:42and the entire arena
00:28:44is chanting
00:28:45lucha libre
00:28:48and Penta now
00:28:49with Mysterio in trouble
00:28:51center of the ring
00:28:54and as if either of these men
00:28:56needed added motivation
00:28:57to hear that sort of adulation
00:28:58for their culture
00:28:59on a global scale
00:29:01means the world
00:29:01to both of these athletes
00:29:02Penta was calling
00:29:03for the Mexican Destroyer
00:29:04Rey
00:29:05runs into the backstabber
00:29:08collapses to the ring
00:29:09isn't enough for Penta
00:29:10to retain
00:29:11in a kick out
00:29:12I don't agree with a lot of things
00:29:13that all ego
00:29:14Ethan Page says
00:29:16let's take another look
00:29:18as Penta able to go up
00:29:20and over Mysterio
00:29:21to deliver the backstabber
00:29:22but still unable to put
00:29:23the Hall of Famer away
00:29:24but I do agree
00:29:25with what Page says
00:29:26about the Intercontinental Championship
00:29:28this has been the workman's title
00:29:29for many many years
00:29:30here in WWE
00:29:31it's often the precursor
00:29:33to becoming a world champion
00:29:34at this level
00:29:36over a dozen Hall of Famers
00:29:38have held the title
00:29:39in their careers
00:29:40it's so important
00:29:41this championship
00:29:41in the lineage of WWE
00:29:43well think of how many people
00:29:44are hunting Penta
00:29:45as we speak
00:29:46we've got Rey Mysterio
00:29:47oh wow

00:29:53Penta kicks it
00:29:54two and a half
00:29:55Ethan Page
00:29:56Rusev
00:29:57Javon Evans
00:29:58I mean everybody wants a shot
00:29:59at Penta
00:30:00but Rey Mysterio
00:30:02reminding the world
00:30:03that he
00:30:04is
00:30:04timeless
00:30:05turning that into a brutal
00:30:07tornado DDT
00:30:09Rey Mysterio
00:30:10who's had an incredible career
00:30:12in the Hall of Fame
00:30:13a couple of years ago
00:30:14and he's still going
00:30:15sunset flip
00:30:17looking for a powerbomb
00:30:18Penta
00:30:18able to hang on
00:30:19to the second rope
00:30:20and now Penta
00:30:21with a kick
00:30:22intercepted by Rey
00:30:23drops him on his spine
00:30:25in the apron
00:30:26look at Rey
00:30:27look at it dialing up
00:30:28yeah 619
00:30:30a unique one there
00:30:31unorthodox
00:30:33listen to this place
00:30:36reminds me of a certain
00:30:37phenomenal one
00:30:38oh
00:30:39oh
00:30:40sunset flip
00:30:41powerbomb
00:30:42into the barricade
00:30:43is it gonna be
00:30:44Ray Knight
00:30:58you
00:30:59you can see in
00:31:03Rey's eyes Cole
00:31:04his confidence
00:31:05beginning to build
00:31:06Rey can feel it
00:31:08he is on the precipice
00:31:09of another
00:31:10Intercontinental Championship
00:31:11and had to break the count
00:31:12there
00:31:13count out does not help
00:31:14Rey in this matchup
00:31:15again he's gotta
00:31:15Penta submit the champion
00:31:17you think Rey's starting
00:31:18to feel it now
00:31:19feeding off the energy
00:31:20of this crowd here in
00:31:21Paris
00:31:22no doubt about it
00:31:23Penta into the steps
00:31:25Rey needs to keep his foot
00:31:27on the gas pedal
00:31:28at this juncture
00:31:29he's got the Intercontinental Champion
00:31:30reeling
00:31:36it isn't often
00:31:38that you see Penta
00:31:39not being the fan favorite
00:31:41in a matchup
00:31:43Mysterio has captivated
00:31:44this crowd here tonight
00:31:45captivated the world
00:31:47and I think that's
00:31:48goes back to what we
00:31:49mentioned a few moments ago
00:31:50fact that Penta is a
00:31:51megastar
00:31:52is true WWE superstar
00:31:54around the globe
00:31:55but Rey Mysterio
00:31:56just on a different level
00:31:57altogether
00:31:58Rey Mysterio is
00:31:59god tier
00:32:00around the world
00:32:02not just in Mexico
00:32:03or the United States
00:32:04as is the WWE fans
00:32:05here in Paris
00:32:07and look at
00:32:08wow
00:32:08Penta showing off now
00:32:10with that press of Mysterio
00:32:11and now trooping Rey
00:32:13ribs first
00:32:14into the apron
00:32:16Rey Mysterio
00:32:17who relies so much
00:32:18on his stamina
00:32:20knock the wind
00:32:20out of the
00:32:21your lungs
00:32:22with a move like that
00:32:23well and I think
00:32:24Penta doing that
00:32:25this deep into a matchup
00:32:26is sort of a wake up call
00:32:27for Rey
00:32:27and sort of Penta reminding himself
00:32:29I do have advantages
00:32:30I can lean on
00:32:31I do have a strength advantage
00:32:32I should use it for us
00:32:33indeed he's much bigger
00:32:34than Mysterio
00:32:35crawl now into the cover
00:32:36for the champ
00:32:36is it enough to retain
00:32:37hook both legs that time
00:32:39and Rey still kicked out
00:32:40but the one thing we've
00:32:41learned about Rey
00:32:42of course we say this all the time
00:32:43he's the biggest little man
00:32:45in the history of WWE
00:32:47always the underdog
00:32:48but more times than not
00:32:50a champion
00:32:54I mean I tell you Corey
00:32:55it's been the pleasure of my career
00:32:57to be able to call
00:32:58so much of Rey's career
00:33:00over the years
00:33:01never forget 2006
00:33:03that year he won the Royal Rumble
00:33:05and would go on to WrestleMania
00:33:06to win his first world championship
00:33:08and one of the biggest upsets in history
00:33:16and again Penta goes low
00:33:18smart strategy
00:33:20Penta fully aware
00:33:21that Rey does have
00:33:21an extensive history
00:33:23of knee injuries
00:33:24yep exactly
00:33:26in fact
00:33:27Rey and I were talking about
00:33:29surgeries
00:33:29and other
00:33:30ooh
00:33:31developments over the last
00:33:32last couple of years
00:33:33to keep those knees
00:33:34in tip-top shape
00:33:40uh oh
00:33:41uh oh
00:33:41looking for a Penta driver maybe
00:33:50Penta's got Rey caught
00:33:51middle of the ring
00:33:51it looked like he was going
00:33:52for a Penta driver moments ago
00:33:53that's exactly what the
00:33:54Intercontinental Champion
00:33:55has in mind
00:33:56but Rey Mysterio
00:33:57has studied his opposition
00:33:58as he always does
00:33:59oh
00:34:00super kick under the chin
00:34:01of Rey
00:34:01and just like that
00:34:03Penta now
00:34:05looking to retain the championship
00:34:07and the Penta driver
00:34:10Rey kicks out at 2
00:34:13again the resilience
00:34:14of Rey Mysterio
00:34:17take another look
00:34:18at the Intercontinental Champion
00:34:21delivering the Penta driver
00:34:23Rey
00:34:23trapped beneath
00:34:25Penta
00:34:25but Mysterio
00:34:27as he somehow
00:34:28always seems to do
00:34:30finds the will
00:34:31to soldier on
00:34:33and Penta
00:34:34again
00:34:34calling for the
00:34:35Mexican Destroyer
00:34:37Rey again intercepts
00:34:40Reversal
00:34:40Mysterio into the corner
00:34:41off the second rope
00:34:42lands on the shoulders
00:34:43oh
00:34:44oh Penta my goodness
00:34:46Rey landed right on the
00:34:47I don't know who got
00:34:48the worst of that exchange
00:34:49Rey landed right on the top
00:34:50of his head
00:34:52but he's okay
00:34:53dammit Rey
00:34:556-1-9
00:34:57Mysterio

00:35:11I gotta believe
00:35:12Rey at least
00:35:12rung his own bell
00:35:13delivering the Poison Rana
00:35:15that half of a second
00:35:17if that
00:35:18hesitation
00:35:19from Mysterio
00:35:20made all the difference
00:35:21I'm still speechless
00:35:22after the Poison Rana
00:35:25it was tough to tell
00:35:26which Luchador
00:35:27had the worst landing
00:35:29but here they are
00:35:30this is what the
00:35:31Intercontinental Championship

00:35:46by Penta
00:35:46to Mysterio
00:35:47almost knocked his head off
00:35:49looking for a Penta driver
00:35:50yet again
00:35:50this time Mysterio
00:35:51rolls through
00:35:52puts Penta in position
00:35:56another 6-1-9

00:36:12but understandably so
00:36:15there it is
00:36:16Mexican destroyer
00:36:19Rey may be out

00:40:27humiliation
00:40:28Mike Gable
00:40:41I'll tell you, Corey, and you know this better than anyone, Chad Gable has come a long, long way.
00:40:49We have said for years that Chad Gable may be the best professional wrestler in the business.
00:40:56And after the journey Gable has endured over the last year plus,
00:41:00Chad Gable belongs in the ring with the best of the best.
00:41:05Sometimes you just have to find yourself.
00:41:12A lot of smaller and deserving women have entered the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:41:16And I showed the world that truth when I dominated my first round match.
00:41:23My next job, blasting through everything that stands in my way.
00:41:27And what stands in my way is La Mosca, Io Sky.
00:41:31Io, I have your number, chica.
00:41:35The last time we stepped into the ring together, it was me holding my arm up victorious.
00:41:40And next week will be no different.
00:41:43Not only am I going to drag the genius of the sky back down to earth and win Queen of
00:41:47the Ring,
00:41:47but I'm going to take that title off your BFF, Rhea Ripley, at Somerset.
00:41:52You know what?
00:41:53Maybe you should book a ticket to Minneapolis.
00:41:56Because when La Mama Sotarraque Rodriguez becomes your new WWE Women's Champion,
00:42:03and the Judgment Day takes over this entire women's division,
00:42:07your little mommy is going to need a shoulder to cry on.
00:42:15The semifinals begin next week.
00:42:19Live on Monday Night Raw on Netflix from Baltimore, Maryland.
00:42:23Io Sky versus Raquel Rodriguez, the semifinals and Queen of the Ring.
00:42:32And there we see the seven-foot Tongan Terror, Tala Tonga,
00:42:38preparing for his King of the Ring first-round fatal four-way
00:42:42as he battles Seth Rollins, Javon Evans, and Ricky Saints tonight.
00:43:10It's time for the Struck Cam!
00:43:17I need everybody up and on your feet.
00:43:20Come on, parents!
00:43:22Let me see what...
00:43:53We have a great program here.
00:44:54So like I was I was playing with him and I definitely riled him up and I started jumping over
00:44:58him and I did one jump but he also slid at the same time and as he slid he opened
00:45:04his mouth to like turn and like just out of excitement and my leg just got caught on his one
00:45:09tooth.
00:45:09Like just one singular tooth.
00:45:12It was so perfect.
00:45:13It couldn't happen again.
00:45:14And it just instantly slipped my leg open and I looked down.
00:45:17I just stopped.
00:45:18I looked down and all I can see is like yellow flesh.
00:45:22It's not even bleeding.
00:45:23So I'm like I know it's deep and it's like I just have like fat hanging out and I was
00:45:28like oh.
00:45:30I don't believe that.
00:45:32I don't believe that you had fat.
00:45:36Where is their body fat on you?
00:45:37I am looking at your skin on your ass and I'm like holy mackerel your skin is so thin.
00:45:45Yeah.
00:45:45Like I mean you are ripped.
00:45:47Thanks.
00:45:58This is the capital city of France.
00:46:01The Eiffel Tower in the background.
00:46:03This is Paris.
00:46:04The Accor Arena.
00:46:05Wrapping up this leg of what has been an incredible European tour.
00:46:10What a few weeks it's been.
00:46:12The first half of the tour began in Liverpool, the United Kingdom all the way back the end of May.
00:46:19Friday night Smackdown kicked off the TV portion of the tour in Barcelona, Spain.
00:46:23WWE fans and our WWE superstars enjoying themselves throughout the entire tour across Europe.
00:46:32And then the second half would kick off with Madrid and then Bologna, Italy.
00:46:36Where I had the pleasure of being this past Friday night on Smackdown.
00:46:39And of course tonight wrapping up in Paris, France.
00:46:42It has been just an electric atmosphere all throughout Europe.
00:46:45Including here tonight among some of the greatest WWE fans on the entire planet.
00:46:53We are in Paris tonight for what has just been an unbelievable atmosphere.
00:46:59And we wrap up this part of the tour tonight in Paris.
00:47:02However, two weeks from tonight, we return to London Monday and Tuesday with Raw Smackdown.
00:47:09Merci beaucoup, Perry.
00:47:11What?
00:47:17Before leaving the US, Asuka-san entrusted me with the WWE Women's Division.
00:47:33But what?
00:47:34You are the best for this character.
00:47:37He is the best for the first few times.
00:47:37But you have no honor.
00:47:40You have no heart.
00:47:43You have no heart.
00:48:05And at SummerSlam, I will become something you have never been, a world champion.
00:48:18Next week on Monday Night Raw, the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament get underway as the genius
00:48:26of the sky, EO Sky, goes one-on-one with the powerhouse of the Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez.
00:48:32Also next week in Baltimore, Maryland, for Monday Night Raw, it is the return of the Tribal Chief, the World
00:48:37Heavyweight Champion.
00:48:38Roman Reigns will be live on Netflix, and a lot for him to discuss with the Uso, Jacob, and L
00:48:44.A. Knight.
00:48:44A lot going on here for the Tribal Chief.
00:48:46And the King of the Ring semifinals get underway as the King of the Luchadores, the AAA Mega Campeon, Dirty
00:48:55Dominic Mysterio, goes one-on-one with the ruler, Oba Femi, in Baltimore.
00:49:03Good luck, Dom.
00:49:06I'm so excited, I'm so happy thinking my little rapper.
00:49:09Femi, I wanted to talk to you about something, but I didn't want to talk to you about it before
00:49:12your match.
00:49:13Okay.
00:49:14But I've just been thinking, and you were right.
00:49:18Last week, I was just down about getting knocked out of the tournament, and I was just thinking about myself,
00:49:23when I should just be thinking about the bigger picture.
00:49:26Exactly.
00:49:27The Judgment Day.
00:49:27Exactly.
00:49:28So I want you to win Queen of the Ring.
00:49:30Or Raquel.
00:49:31Because a win for one is a win for all.
00:49:34Yeah.
00:49:35Totally.
00:49:35Honestly, I think the best thing would be for you and Raquel to face each other.
00:49:39And then, and then we can't lose.
00:49:41Dominic, are you okay?
00:49:42Yeah, that was just, that was crazy.
00:49:44Crazy.
00:49:45I don't know what we're going to do about Oba.
00:49:46We had a plan, and it just, it didn't work.
00:49:49Do you know what?
00:49:50I don't think you should worry.
00:49:51I just think we need to do things a little bit differently and actually have some ideas I want to
00:49:54tell you guys.
00:49:54You got a plan?
00:49:55Yeah, I do.
00:49:55What did you got?
00:49:55You got a plan?
00:49:56Yeah.
00:49:57Okay.
00:49:57Tell him.
00:49:57I'll tell you guys.
00:49:58Okay.
00:49:59Come on, Roxy.
00:50:00I'll catch up with you guys later.
00:50:04It was a bad plan, Dom.
00:50:05Yes!
00:50:36The Broadway is a first round match in the King of the World.
00:50:42Ring Tournament.
00:50:43Introducing first from Devonport, Iowa.
00:50:47Weighed in for 225 pounds.
00:50:51Seth Freakin' Raleigh!
00:51:01Who is heading to the semi-finals in the King of the Ring?
00:51:05Fatal 4-Way.
00:51:07Live next.
00:51:08How are you?
00:51:13.
00:51:35If you're a fan of Seth freaking Rollins,
00:51:37you have every reason to be optimistic about this King of the Ring Fatal 4-Way,
00:51:42because Rollins now has adjusted his point of view.
00:51:47He's no longer obsessing over the vision.
00:51:49I talked to Seth earlier today.
00:51:50He said, the vision's in the rearview mirror,
00:51:52and I couldn't be happier if that dope brawnbreaker took out Paul Heyman for me.
00:51:58Yeah, Paul Heyman not medically cleared to be here.
00:52:00Here's another thing for Rollins tonight.
00:52:01He has more experience than the other three in this match combined
00:52:07when it comes to big matches in this type of atmosphere.
00:52:13Rollins himself has been referred to as this generation's Mr. WrestleMania.
00:52:19When the chips are down, when the stakes are at their highest,
00:52:22that's when Rollins comes to life.
00:52:24Well, Seth Rollins also made it clear that if he wins King of the Ring,
00:52:27he's gonna challenge Roman Reigns in the main event, SummerSlam.
00:52:33But that could be a very big if.
00:52:37Like huge, like a seven-foot if.
00:52:57We saw the NFTs here earlier tonight.
00:53:02This is their powerhouse.
00:53:04The Sequoia like Tala Tonga, who this past Friday night on SmackDown,
00:53:09defeated Royce Keys thanks to the help of his buddies in what was a war.
00:53:15Tala Tonga quickly gaining footing here in WWE.
00:53:18This young man does not present an overabundance of in-ring experience.
00:53:23But he is seven feet tall.
00:53:25He is dangerous.
00:53:26He is mean.
00:53:27And he is looking for the King's crown.
00:53:31Would you imagine we'd have King Konga?
00:53:34And it wouldn't even be the first?
00:53:36That was a deep cut.
00:53:37Very deep cut.
00:53:49This is the revolution.
00:54:20The biggest party of the summer.
00:54:23SummerSlam is coming to US Bank Stadium in Minnesota August 1st and 2nd.
00:54:29Individual event tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:54:34The winner of the King of the Ring tournament will be a part of SummerSlam,
00:54:37as will the winner of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
00:54:40They will challenge for world championships in Minnesota.
00:54:47And this young man, Ricky Saint, the absolute, I believe, sky-high ceiling for Ricky Saint.
00:54:56I don't even know if there is a ceiling for Ricky Saint, man.
00:54:59This guy is handsome, he's fashionable, and he is smoother than silk in the ring.
00:55:04It's a victory over Carmelo Hayes this past Friday night on SmackDown.
00:55:09And tonight, WWE Raw is brought to you by DoorDash, your door to more.
00:55:16Ricky Saint, full of confidence, known this young man for many years, and he continues to impress me in the
00:55:24ring.
00:55:26It's amazing how long you've known Ricky Saint today.
00:55:29He only started speaking to you about three weeks ago.
00:55:31Oh no, that's what someone told you, some gossip.
00:55:34Stop! Ricky!
00:55:36King Ricky!
00:55:37Oh, he didn't.
00:55:44Yo, he didn't.
00:55:46Your boy is bouncy.
00:56:00Hey Zebul-
00:56:03From Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing in at 195 pounds, Javon Evans!
00:56:14You know, Corey, here is a young man who is on the cusp of super stardom.
00:56:20I couldn't say it any better myself.
00:56:23I completely agree with you.
00:56:25Javon Evans, in short order, has managed to captivate the entire WWE universe
00:56:31with his mind-blowing athleticism and infectious attitude.
00:56:35I'm a huge fan of Javon Evans, and we're about to find out if he has what it takes
00:56:40to take that next step in his career, that next step being king of the ring.
00:56:44But when you look at the ring tonight, you have to believe that Seth Rollins has to be a clear
00:56:49favorite.
00:56:50Just the experience factor alone against the young OG Javon Evans, Ricky Saints up here
00:56:55just for a month or so at this level, Talatanga, very green as well.
00:56:59Well, on paper, I would absolutely agree with you, Cole, aside from the fact that Seth is
00:57:04facing off with three very cagey individuals, Seth Rollins, as the most experienced superstar
00:57:11in this matchup, may wind up a target.
00:57:13It's a fatal four-way matchup, which means the first man to gain pimp fall or submission
00:57:16will win.
00:57:17No countouts, no disqualifications.
00:57:19Rollins mentioned this earlier tonight.
00:57:21The last time he fought in Paris last year, he actually defended the world title in a fatal
00:57:25four-way matchup.
00:57:29So here we go.
00:57:32The official in this matchup is Sean Bennett tonight.
00:57:35And I love that out of Ricky Saints.
00:57:37Off of the opening bell, a clear right hand to Seth Rollins.
00:57:40Take one opponent, set him aside, and pick him apart.
00:57:44And now Javon Evans using his speed and his quickness.
00:57:48Talatanga looking to use his power.
00:57:51Evans, second rope, went for the springboard cutter, but Talatanga just hung on.
00:57:56Absolutely.
00:57:57Oh, what a tackle.
00:58:02And now Seth Rollins going to square off with Talatanga.
00:58:08The winner will advance to the semifinals to face the winner of Friday night's fatal four-way
00:58:15on SmackDown.
00:58:19And Rollins again looking to force Talatanga to make some mistakes, but those chops having
00:58:24very little effect on this massive man.
00:58:28Oh, that tackle turning Rollins inside out.
00:58:32For all of Rollins' experience, I don't know if he's ever been hit that hard.
00:58:36My goodness.
00:58:38Keep your eyes on the young OG.
00:58:41You know, it's interesting.
00:58:42This past Friday night on SmackDown, Solo Sankoa warned Royce Keyes that a war may be coming.
00:58:48A reference, of course, to Reigns in the bloodline.
00:58:51Can you imagine if Talatanga wins the king of the ring?
00:58:53And he faces Roman at SummerSlam.
00:58:55King Tonga.
00:58:56Bang!
00:58:56Good change to the complexion of the entire WWE universe.
00:59:00And Rollins runs right into Tonga.
00:59:03Try to send him over the top rope.
00:59:05Evans as well.
00:59:06But Tonga hanging on.
00:59:07Ricky Saints now back into the battle.
00:59:09I like this strategy by Evans and Rollins to this point.
00:59:12Work together to take out the big man.
00:59:13And Ricky Saints.
00:59:15Oh!
00:59:15And Tonga with an elbow.
00:59:19Opportunistic Ricky Saints.
00:59:21That's a great way to put it.
00:59:22And that's how you've got to be in a fatal four-way environment.
00:59:24There's chaos all around you.
00:59:26You have to keep your eyes wide open and not miss a beat.
00:59:29And now he's just sending Evans to Talatanga as these two have formed a shaky alliance.
00:59:35Ricky Saints, who met with all the talent in the world, a great in-ring performer, but
00:59:39will do what he has to do to win, like we saw Friday night.
00:59:41It was Ricky Saints, the longtime protege of who?
00:59:45Cody Rhodes.
00:59:45You don't think Saints went to Cody, picked his brain a little bit about how to deal with
00:59:50Seth Rollins?
00:59:54Oh, my!
00:59:55And Ricky Saints, man, he said, let's keep working together here.
01:00:00Yeah.
01:00:01We're good.
01:00:02Hey!
01:00:03Hey!
01:00:04This would be ingenious if it works out for Saints.
01:00:08Let Tonga do all the tough work.
01:00:10We got HBK and Diesel vibes.
01:00:14Well, yes!
01:00:14Good call.
01:00:16Perfect call.
01:00:17Big boot by Tonga now to Ricky Saints.
01:00:23If I had to poke a hole in Talatanga's game, it's that sometimes he takes a little too
01:00:27long to survey the situation.
01:00:29It's a lack of experience.
01:00:31In time, it will come.
01:00:32When Talatanga can react and realize that he's seven feet tall and he is freakishly strong.
01:00:38Yeah, like this.
01:00:39Good luck.
01:00:39He's going to send Javon Evans.
01:00:41Wow!
01:00:42Over the top rope to the floor.
01:00:45Talatanga dominating.
01:00:56The 25th King of the Ring will be crowned two weeks from Saturday.
01:01:01The night of champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
01:01:04The winner to go on to face a world champion of the main event at SummerSlam.
01:01:08And right now, Talatanga looking to advance to the semifinals in this fatal four-way.
01:01:15Talatanga now stalking Javon Evans.
01:01:18Oh!
01:01:19You know what an opportunity King of the Ring is.
01:01:21You look at the last two King of the Rings.
01:01:22Cody Rhodes and Gunther both went on to SummerSlam to win the world championship.
01:01:29So there's precedent there.
01:01:30Express route to the top of the mountain.
01:01:32Whether or not you make it there remains to be seen.
01:01:35But you're at least armed with the best of opportunities.
01:01:39First ever King of the Ring crowned in 1985.
01:01:42The Hall of Famer.
01:01:43Don!
01:01:44The Rock Morocco.
01:01:47Talatanga now!
01:01:48That massive frame into the chest of Seth Rollins.
01:01:51Eleven world champions for King of the Ring.
01:01:56Twelve Hall of Famers once held that crown.
01:02:00When I was a child, I watched King Mabel challenge Diesel for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam.
01:02:06Brock Lesnar would win in 2002 and go on to challenge and win the championship at SummerSlam that year.
01:02:13Bret Hart the only two-time King of the Ring winner.
01:02:17Think about what King of the Ring has done to the careers of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:02:23Launching that man's career into the stratosphere.
01:02:26What a fateful night that was.
01:02:29And now Talatanga!
01:02:30Oh, man!
01:02:30This has been a clinic for Tonga.
01:02:33And Ricky Saints now, who was trying to work an alliance with Tonga moments ago, just runs into a right
01:02:38hand.
01:02:38Good luck stopping this monster.
01:02:41And this is where, in my professional opinion, Ricky Saints should start cheating.
01:02:47Well, it's all legal, remember.
01:02:48There's no disqualification.
01:02:49Exactly!
01:02:49He can do whatever he wants.
01:02:50Come on, Ricky!
01:02:51Cheat!
01:02:55I think we should make an amendment to the WWE rule book that if your opponent's over seven feet tall,
01:02:59you should be allowed to thumb him in the eye.
01:03:01You can do that in this match.
01:03:02It's legal.
01:03:03There's no disqualification.
01:03:04What the hell is Ricky thinking?
01:03:05He can't even think straight.
01:03:08He can't function.
01:03:09He's had the hell beat out of him.
01:03:10Thumb him in the eye, Ricky!
01:03:13Oh, no!
01:03:21I mean, Talatanga is destroying everything in his path in this fatal throwaway.
01:03:27Look at the size of this, man!
01:03:31Ricky Saints, who has no idea where he is.
01:03:34Well, and those Saints, though!
01:03:35Great move!
01:03:36Driving Tonga to the post.
01:03:37And now an opportunity, perhaps, for someone in this fatal four-way.
01:03:41Maybe it's Seth Rollins with a suicide god.
01:03:44Driving Tonga into the barricade.
01:03:46Still on his feet, however.
01:03:48Going to take more than that, Seth.
01:03:50Saints driving Tonga again.
01:03:52Shoulder first to the post.
01:03:53The big man is staggered.
01:03:55And finally, they decided to work together to take the big man out.
01:04:00Just like that.
01:04:02Smart strategy by Rollins and Saints.
01:04:06Now, Ricky, thumb him in the eye.
01:04:10And again, it's legal.
01:04:11There's no disqualification.
01:04:14Fatal four-way rules.
01:04:16If I were to compete in a match like this, I'd stop.
01:04:19Look at this!
01:04:19Look at this!
01:04:20Tonga!
01:04:21That's both men!
01:04:23And now, Kevin Evans driving Tonga into the barricade!
01:04:27My goodness!
01:04:29And now, back into the ring.
01:04:30Ricky, Saints, Seth Rollins.
01:04:31Big opportunity now for those two men.
01:04:33Turn this into a one-on-one matchup, at least momentarily.
01:04:36Evans has neutralized the massive Kala Tonga.
01:04:40Rollins and Saints one-on-one inside the ring.
01:04:44This is a sort of opportunity in a fatal four-way you can only hope for.
01:04:48As we take another look at Javon Evans propelling himself into the barricade,
01:04:55over the barricade, to take down Tonga.
01:05:02Ricky, Saints, looking for the biggest win of his career here tonight.
01:05:07A rising star on Friday Night SmackDown.
01:05:10Has all the tools, has the attitude.
01:05:12And a big clothesline, though, from Seth Rollins.
01:05:15The six-time world champion.
01:05:19Oh, running knee!
01:05:24And a falcon arrow!
01:05:26And now, Rollins may be looking to put Ricky, Saints, away.
01:05:34LeMander knocked off Braun Breaker last week.
01:05:38Rollins lining up Saints, but keep your eyes on the young OG!
01:05:41Wow!
01:05:43Red dot!
01:05:44Cover!
01:05:45To advance!
01:05:46Rollins has got a kick at it, too.
01:05:49Almost a massive upset for Evans here tonight.
01:05:55Javon Evans well aware that, in fact, it was simply two.
01:06:00And the young OG understands there's more work to be done.
01:06:03It is time to get bouncy in Paris.
01:06:11Javon, lining up Rollins.
01:06:14Springboard up the second rope.
01:06:16Rollins caught him.
01:06:17Kick to the midsection.
01:06:18Now steady Javon up.
01:06:19Center of the ring, looking for a pedigree.
01:06:20Javon Evans able to counter with the right hand.
01:06:24That boy!
01:06:28Rollins caught him!
01:06:32Uh-oh.
01:06:34Went for the buckle bomb, and Evans turned Rollins into the corner.
01:06:38Counter for counter between the young OG and the visionary.
01:06:44And Javon looking to take flight, but...
01:06:48Absolute Ricky Saints cuts him off with a boot.
01:06:51And now with that revolution!
01:06:53That's it!
01:06:54DDT!
01:06:56Cover by Saints!
01:06:58Evans kicks out!
01:06:59So close!
01:07:00Oh, man!
01:07:01For absolute Ricky Saints!
01:07:02I was already having visions, Michael Cole, of the parade down Bourbon Street for King Ricky
01:07:09of New Orleans.
01:07:10If he becomes King of the Ring.
01:07:12But Javon Evans had a little too much left in the tank.
01:07:15At Revolution, DDT almost putting Evans away.
01:07:19As the capacity crowd looks on tonight in Paris.
01:07:22One of these men heading to the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament.
01:07:26To take on the winner of Friday night's first-round matchup on Friday night's SmackDown.
01:07:32Saints trying to make the climb to the top rope, but Rollins interrupting.
01:07:36And that'll give Javon Evans time.
01:07:38He swept it out.
01:07:39Lands to the floor.
01:07:40Again, high-risk offense.
01:07:41But Javon Evans right back on the attack.
01:07:43This kid is unbelievable.
01:07:47Luckily, Saints wasn't able to recover in that moment.
01:07:50Evans never says die.
01:07:52Oh, goodness!
01:07:53Seth Rollins, though!
01:07:55Gonna take advantage!
01:07:56Can't agree!
01:07:59Cover!
01:08:00Tala Tonga!
01:08:03Oh, no.
01:08:04Oh, no!
01:08:06It'll be time to hit the showers for Rollins!
01:08:09Went for the Tala T-bomb.
01:08:10Seth Rollins, though, with a kick.
01:08:14Seth trying to take the big man off his feet again.
01:08:18And Tala Tonga now.
01:08:19Bit overzealous.
01:08:20Went over the top rope, thanks to Rollins.
01:08:23And now Ricky Saints dumping Rollins over the top rope.
01:08:28Saints now one-on-one with Evans.
01:08:30Yeah, looking to turn his attention to Javon Evans and perhaps set him up for the Roshambo.
01:08:35Roshambo, Michael Cole.
01:08:37And here we go!
01:08:39And Saints sent out to the floor!
01:08:41Uh-oh!
01:08:44Javon got that look in his eyes!
01:08:46Where are we at, Cole?
01:08:48We're outside!
01:08:51Javon Evans taking everybody out!
01:09:00The young OG taking a massive risk that paid off huge dividends!
01:09:07And now Javon has Rollins in the ring!
01:09:12Javon Evans going to head up top!
01:09:15Looking for the OG, Connor!
01:09:16And Ricky Saints was right there!
01:09:18Saints, how impressive has he been in this match?
01:09:22Extremely opportunistic, in the right place at the right time!
01:09:27And now Seth Rollins on offense!
01:09:34What's Seth going to do here?
01:09:36I have no idea, but I don't like it!
01:09:38And now that tower of a man!
01:09:42Tallentonga!
01:09:42Oh, God, no!
01:09:44No, no, no, no, no, no!
01:09:46Look at the power!
01:09:47Evans, though!
01:09:50Evans somehow landed on his feet!
01:09:53Tonga!
01:09:57Tonga!
01:09:58Oh!
01:09:58Evans!
01:09:59Cover by Tonga!
01:10:02Rollins!
01:10:03Breaks things up!
01:10:06Tallentonga!
01:10:08Tallentonga!
01:10:10Credit where it's due to Tallentonga!
01:10:12This young man is growing into a force in WWE!
01:10:16What about Javon Evans?
01:10:18What about Ricky Saints?
01:10:19What they've shown in this matchup here tonight
01:10:21against one of the all-time greats in Rollins!
01:10:28And Tallentonga now will send Rollins out to the floor!
01:10:33And Tonga now...
01:10:35Uh-oh, uh-oh!
01:10:36Ripping a part-hour announce table!
01:10:38Get out of there, Graves!
01:10:41I'm trying!
01:10:41I'm a little trapped here!
01:10:48Tallentonga standing over a fallen Seth Freakin' Rollins!
01:10:53And Rollins about to experience a T-
01:10:56No!
01:10:57No!
01:10:57Javon Evans caught by Tonga!
01:11:00Calling Tonga now!
01:11:01With a tall T-bomb!
01:11:03Oh!
01:11:03And a stop!
01:11:05Stopped by Rollins!
01:11:06Tallest skull just bounced off the cowl of the French and Al's desk!
01:11:12And what does Seth Rollins do now?
01:11:15Tightrope walk on the barricade!
01:11:17Bitter's the job!
01:11:19Another stop to the monster!
01:11:25Rollins into the ring!
01:11:26Closing in at a win!
01:11:28To advance in the king of the ring!
01:11:30Went for the stop!
01:11:31Brittany States moves out of harm's way!
01:11:34Went for the revolution again!
01:11:36Seth Rollins into a stop!
01:11:39Rollins!
01:11:39Seth Rollins is gonna advance!
01:11:42In the king of the ring!
01:11:43And wait a minute!
01:11:44Austin Theory just dragged the official off the count!
01:11:49The vision continues to haunt its creator!
01:11:53Austin Theory!
01:11:55And now, Montez!
01:11:58Ford!
01:11:59Coming to the aid!
01:12:01Attacking Theory!
01:12:02This alliance that's been formed with Ford and Rollins!
01:12:05Bound by a common enemy!
01:12:07Oh, no!
01:12:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
01:12:09That's...
01:12:10Ford Breaker!
01:12:12Torpedo Spear!
01:12:13There are no disqualifications!
01:12:21Rollins wiped out by the unpredictable badass!
01:12:25But it's Ricky's moment!
01:12:27No, it isn't!
01:12:28It's Javon Evans' moment!
01:12:30OG Connor!
01:12:33Cover by Evans!
01:12:34One, two, three!
01:12:36Evans advances!
01:12:38The vision screws Rollins again!
01:12:41Here is your winner!
01:12:46Javon Evans!
01:12:49I mean, tremendous wherewithal for Javon Evans and ring awareness to pull this off.
01:12:54Congratulations to the young OG who fought through the pain, who endured, delivered an OG cutter,
01:13:03and now takes one step closer to becoming King of the Ring.
01:13:08But this thing was wild and off the rails almost from the opening bell.
01:13:13This is some of the punishment suffered by all of these men tonight for the right to take the next
01:13:20step.
01:13:20A super stomp by Rollins off the barricade took Tala out.
01:13:25Seth had this match run, Corey.
01:13:27Seth Rollins is going to the semifinals of the King of the Ring.
01:13:30You're absolutely right, Cole.
01:13:32It didn't look like Ricky Saints was getting up.
01:13:34But Austin Theory would grab our official Sean Bennett.
01:13:37Which is legal!
01:13:38And then Braun Breaker nearly cut Seth Rollins in half a week after Rollins believed he put the vision in
01:13:47the rearview mirror.
01:13:49But Evans, recognizing the opportunity, stepped up to the plate.
01:13:56It is high!
01:13:57It is deep!
01:13:58And it is no longer playable!
01:14:01The young OG's moving on to the next round.
01:14:05Yeah, the semifinals against the winner of Friday night's fatal four-way match.
01:14:10Javon Evans celebrates.
01:14:12But for Seth Rollins, history repeats itself tonight.
01:14:18Rollins thought the vision was in his rearview mirror.
01:14:22Think again!
01:14:23They cost Seth a chance at the long title.
01:14:36Anybody up to King of the Ring?
01:14:38No ass on you!
01:14:39Mess up, game!
01:14:40Come on!
01:14:41King of the Ring!
01:14:432026!
01:14:44The young OG!
01:14:44King Javon!
