00:49the judgment thing exactly so i want you to win queen of the ring or raquel because a win for
00:55one

02:08iowa weighing in for 225 pounds who is heading to the semi-finals in the king of the ring fatal
02:29four-way
02:58live next
02:59and rollins you have every reason to be optimistic about this king of the ring fatal four-way because
03:06rollins now has adjusted his point of view he's no longer obsessing over the vision i talked to
03:12set earlier today he said the vision's in the rearview mirror and i couldn't be happier that
03:17that dope brawn breaker took out paul haven for me yeah paul haven not medically cleared to be
03:22here here's another thing for rollins tonight he has more experience than the other three in this
03:29match combined when it comes to big matches in this type of atmosphere rollins himself has been
03:38referred to as this generation's mr wrestlemania when the chips are down when the stakes are at
03:44their highest that's when rollins comes to life oh seth rollins also made it clear that if he wins
03:49king of the ring he's going to challenge roman reigns in the main event summer slang but that could be
03:57a
03:57very big if like huge like a seven foot if
04:11representing mft we saw the mfts here earlier tonight this is their powerhouse
04:26the sequoia like talla tonga who was passed friday night on smackdown defeated royce keys thanks to
04:33the help of his buddies in what was a war talla tonga quickly gaining footing here in wwe this young
04:42man does not possess an overabundance of in-ring experience but he is seven feet tall he is dangerous
04:49he is mean and he is looking for the king's crown would you imagine we'd have king konga and it
04:57wouldn't even be the first that was a deep cut very deep cut
05:11this is the revolution
05:42the biggest
05:44This party of the summer, SummerSlam,
05:47is coming to US Bank Stadium in Minnesota August 1st and 2nd.
05:52Individual event tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
05:57The winner of the King of the Ring Tournament
05:59will be a part of SummerSlam, as will the winner
06:02of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
06:03They will challenge for world championships in Minnesota.
06:10And this young man, Ricky Sainz, the absolute,
06:14I believe, sky-high ceiling for Ricky Sainz.
06:18I don't even know if there is a ceiling for Ricky Sainz, man.
06:22This guy is handsome, he's fashionable, and he is smoother than silk in the ring.
06:27It's a victory over Carmelo Hayes this past Friday night on SmackDown.
06:32And tonight's WWE Raw is brought to you by DoorDash.
06:36Your DoorDash, your DoorDash, tomorrow.
06:39Ricky Sainz, full of confidence, known this young man for many years,
06:44and he continues to impress me in the ring.
06:49It's amazing how long you've known Ricky Sainz,
06:51and he only started speaking to you about three weeks ago.
06:53Oh, no, that's what someone told you, some gossip.
06:57Ha! Ricky!
06:59King Ricky!
07:00Oh, he didn't.
07:07King Coo.
07:08Yo boy's bouncy.
07:12King Betty!
07:14King in.
07:31Blackfeel, Blackfeel, Blackfeel, Blackfeel, Blackfeel.
07:33Listen, llegar.
07:35Come, let's go, let's go.
07:36evans you know cory here is a young man who is on the cusp of super stardom i couldn't say
07:44it
07:45any better myself i completely agree with you javon evans in short order has managed to captivate
07:51the entire wwe universe with his mind-blowing athleticism and infectious attitude i'm a huge fan
07:59of javon evans and we're about to find out if he has what it takes to take that next step
08:04in his
08:04career that next step being king of the ring but when you look at the ring tonight you have to
08:09believe that seth rollins has to be a clear favorite just the experience factor alone against the young
08:15og javon evans ricky saints up here just for a month or so at this level talatanga very green as
08:22well
08:22on paper i would absolutely agree with you cole aside from the fact that seth is facing off with
08:27three very cagey individuals seth rollins as the most experienced superstar in this matchup may
08:34wind up a target it's a fatal four-way matchup which means the first man to gain pinfall submission will
08:39win no countouts no disqualifications rollins mentioned this earlier tonight the last time
08:44he fought in paris last year he actually defended the world title in a fatal four-way matchup
08:52so here we go the official in this matchup is sean bennett tonight and i love that out of ricky
08:59saints off of the opening bell a clear right hand to seth rollins take one opponent set it set him
09:05aside and pick him apart and now javon evans using his speed and his quickness talatanga looking to use
09:12his power evans second rope went for the springboard cutter but talatanga just hung on absolutely oh what a tackle
09:25and now seth rollins going to square off with talatanga
09:31the winner will advance to the semi-finals to face the winner of friday night's fatal four-way on smackdown
09:42and rollins again looking to force tanga to make some mistakes but those chops having
09:46very little effect on this massive man oh that tackle turning rollins inside out all of
09:55rollins experience i don't know if he's ever been hit that hard my goodness
10:01keep your eyes on the young og you know it's interesting this past friday night on smackdown
10:06solo sekoa warned royce keys that a war may be coming a reference of course to reigns in the
10:12bloodline can you imagine if talatanga wins the king of the ring and he faces roman at summer slam
10:18king tonga bang good change the complexion of the entire wwe universe and rollins will so runs right
10:25into tonga try to send him over the top rope evans as well but tonga hanging on ricky saints now
10:30back into
10:31the battle i like this strategy by evans and rollins to this point work together to take out the big
10:36man
10:36and ricky saints oh and tonga with an elbow
10:42opportunistic ricky saints that's a great way to put it and that's how you've got to be in a fatal
10:46four-way environment there's chaos all around you you have to keep your eyes wide open and not miss a
10:52beat and now it's just uh sending evans to talatanga as these two have formed a shaky alliance here
10:57ricky saints a man with all the talent in the world a great in-ring performer but will do what
11:02he has to
11:03do to win like we saw friday night it was ricky saints a long-time protege of who cody rhodes
11:08you
11:08don't think saints went to cody picked his brain a little bit about how to deal with seth rollins
11:16oh my and ricky saints man he said let's keep working together here yeah we're good
11:27this would be ingenious if it works out for saints let tonga do all the tough work and we got
11:34hbk and
11:35diesel vibes well yes good call perfect call big boot by tonga now to ricky saints
11:46if i had to poke a hole in talatanga's game is that sometimes he takes a little too long to
11:51survey the situation it's a lack of experience in time it will come when talatanga can react and
11:57realize that he's seven feet tall and he is freakishly strong yeah like this good luck he's
12:02going to send javon evans wow over the top rope to the floor talatanga dominating
12:19the 25th king of the ring will be crowned two weeks from saturday the night of champions in riyadh
12:26saudi arabia the winner to go on to face a world champion of the main event at summerslam and right
12:31now talatanga linking to advance to the semi-finals in this fatal four-way
12:38talatanga now stalking javon evans oh you know what an opportunity king of the ring is you look
12:44at the last two king of the rings cody rhodes and gunther both went on to summerslam to win
12:48the world championship so there's precedent express route to the top of the mountain whether or not you
12:56make it there remains to be seen but you're at least armed with the best of opportunities
13:02first ever king of the ring crowned in 1985 the hall of famer god the rock morocco
13:09talatanga now that massive frame into the chest of seth rollins 11 world champions for king of the ring
13:1812 hall of famers once held that crown when i was a child i watched king mabel challenge diesel
13:26for the wwe championship at summerslam brock lesnar would win in 2002 and go on to challenge and win
13:32the championship at summerslam that year brett hart the only two-time king of the ring winner
13:40to think about what king of the ring has done to the careers of well stone cold steve austin launching
13:46that man's career into the stratosphere a fateful night that was now this has been a clinic for tonga
13:56and ricky saints now who was trying to work an alliance with tonga moments ago just runs into a
14:00right hand good luck stopping this monster and this is where in my professional opinion ricky
14:06say should start cheating well it's all legal remember there's no disqualification exactly
14:12you can do whatever he wants come on ricky cheat
14:17i think we should make an amendment to the wwe rule book that if your opponent's over seven feet
14:21tall you should be allowed to thumb him in the eye you can do that in this match it's legal
14:25what the hell is ricky thinking oh he keep thinking he can't even think straight he can't
14:31function he's had the hell beat out of him in the eye ricky
14:35oh no
14:37i mean talla tonga is destroying everything in his path in this fatal full look at the size of this
14:51man
14:54ricky saints who has no idea where he is well out of those saints though great move driving
14:59tonga to the post and now an opportunity perhaps for someone in this fatal four-way
15:04maybe a set rollins with a suicide dog driving tonga into the barricade still on his feet however
15:10gonna take more than that says saints driving tonga again shoulder first to the post the big man is
15:17staggering and finally they deciding to work together to take the big man out just like that
15:25smart strategy by rollins and saints
15:29now ricky thumb him in the eye
15:33and again it's legal there's no disqualification
15:37fatal four-way rules if i were to compete in a match like this i'd stop look at this look
15:42at this
15:43tonga that's both men and that's driving tonga into the barricade my goodness and now back into the
15:53ring ricky saint set rounds big opportunity now for those two men turn this into a one-on-one
15:57matchup at least momentarily evans has neutralized the massive talla tonga
16:03rollins and saints one-on-one inside the ring this is a sort of opportunity in a fatal four-way
16:09you can
16:09only hope for as we take another look at javon evans propelling himself into the barricade over the
16:18barricade to take down tonga
16:25ricky saints looking for the biggest win of his career here tonight a rising star on friday night
16:32smackdown has all the tools has the attitude and a big clothesline though from seth rollins
