00:01Of course, Jey Uso is off running from me, no surprise there.
00:06He's just like the people of Brussels, he's a cat.
00:12That's your hero?
00:13A man that's cheap like that and quick and just runs away?
00:17That's your hero?
00:20So you know what, Jey, I got a message for you.
00:22Because next week we're finally getting out of Brussels, I can't wait.
00:26And we're going to a more depressing place, Glasgow, Scotland.
00:31All the women there look like Shrek and Jey Uso has no friends.
00:36So you know what, Jey?
00:38How about you go find yourself a tag partner?
00:40Because it seems all your friends couldn't care less about you anymore.
00:43And you find out why A-Town Down Under is the best tag team in the world.
00:52That's all you got?
00:54That's all you got?
00:56Hey, Cena was right.
00:58You're all about yourselves.
01:00I'm done.

04:56Don't tell me what you're doing!
04:58On Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix in Brussels, Belgium, is presented by Snickers.
05:06Cat team action underway.
05:07American Maid, the Creed Brothers, set for action here tonight.
05:40And for opponents at combined weight of 340 pounds, the team of Dragon League and WWE Hall of
05:53favor, Rey Mysterio, the LWO.
06:00Well, let's remind everyone how this matchup came about last week here on Monday Night Raw,
06:04LWO, with a matchup against The New Day.
06:06And it looked like Rey and Dragon League were going to pick up the win with a very suspicious
06:13masked individual, a luchador, I guess, came up from out of the audience and attacked Mysterio
06:20and Dragon League, allowing The New Day to pick up the victory.
06:23Mysterio and Lee wanted this masked luchador, Chad Gable, tonight.
06:28Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Cole.
06:30You've got to stop with the speculation.
06:31We saw last week backstage, Chad Gable was being interviewed.
06:35Oh!
06:36And the aforementioned mysterious American luchador was seen behind Chad Gable.
06:41What, did he clone himself?
06:42It's impossible.
06:43Well, nonetheless, believe what you want.
06:45Julius Creed sent into the corner by Dragon League.
06:48How many guys over the years have worn an American flag mask in this?
06:51That could be Del Wilkes, that could be Tom Brandy, someone else might have bought the gimmick.
06:56Oh!
06:56Any number of people.
06:57The mask clearly said American made.
07:00Well, I didn't see that.
07:02Okay, of course you didn't.
07:03Here's Dragon League now.
07:04Top rope, cross body.
07:05Covered for the win.
07:07And a kick out by Julius Creed.
07:16And Brutus drags Ray off the apron and allows Julius to take over.
07:21The Uber Athletic Creed Brothers.
07:24And there is that sliding lariat.
07:27The unnecessary clothesline as the Creed's have taken over.
07:38Electric crowd here tonight.
07:40And, oh, Brussels, Belgium.
07:43Incredible teamwork by the Creed's.
07:46Yeah, this team is so close to putting it all together, Corey.
07:49You're right.
07:49And what Julius and Brutus lack in experience, they more than compensate for in raw athletic ability.
07:54These guys are freaks in every sense of the word.
07:57Look at this, this hammer fist after hammer fist.
08:02Brutus smash.
08:05Yeah, it's that dominating smash mouth style of the former two-time All-American NCAA Division II champion.
08:15And Julius Creed, one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of Duke University.
08:20Driving Lee into the corner, another tag made.
08:23Creed Brothers working well as a tag team tandem.
08:26And also not allowing the Hall of Famer Ray into this match.
08:29This is an incredible strategy from the Creed Brothers.
08:32Brutus now spend a little more time on the top rope than a man of his size should.
08:38But it usually leads to great results with the Creed's.
08:40And here's another tag to Julius.
08:42Mentioned these guys have it all.
08:44Power.
08:44Great mat-based technicians.
08:47Very quick.
08:48Agile as well.
08:50Oh!
08:50Whipped into the corner is Dragon Lee.
08:54Again, so close to putting it all together.
08:57And under the tutelage of Chad Gable, it's going to happen sooner rather than later.
09:01They are former NXT tag team champions.
09:04Corey, speaking of tag teams, I'd love to give a shout out to the Street Profits.
09:10Brand new WWE Tag Team Champions over on Friday Night SmackDown.
09:14Hell of a win for those guys.
09:16Very, very happy for the Profits.
09:18Finally back on top of the mountain.
09:22You know the Creed's would love to celebrate the same sort of elation.
09:26As would Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio.
09:28Dragon Lee, a superstar that Rey thinks extremely highly of.
09:31Went so far as to christen him the future of Lucha Libre.
09:34I mean, what a tandem they've become over the last several months.
09:37Yeah, Rey Mysterio gave one of his masks to Dragon Lee,
09:41which Dragon Lee carries to each and every event in his duffel bag to this day.
09:45But right now, it's been all Creed brothers.
09:48This has just been a dominating performance since the beginning of this match.
09:54Loving blows right to the back of the neck and leaves in trouble.
09:57He's got to somehow find the will to make a tag.
10:01Brutus Creed looking absolutely remorseless at this juncture.
10:04And the ring has been cut completely in half.
10:07Dragon Lee has been nowhere near Rey.
10:09Well, you know, the Creed's were embarrassed.
10:11They talked a big game, said they were going to win the tag titles from the War Raiders.
10:15Didn't get it done.
10:16Gable returned from that sabbatical.
10:18Well, never mind the fact they were attacked earlier in the evening.
10:21Completely unprovoked by Rey and Dragon Lee.
10:25What do you mean tonight?
10:27Attacked tonight.
10:28That's what you're saying.
10:29Okay.
10:34Oh, my goodness.
10:36Here tonight, sellout crowd in Belgium.
10:39And Dragon Lee with a great move about stop Brutus through the mat.
10:43Now looks to make a tag to turn this match around to Rey Mysterio.
10:47Here comes the former multi-time world champion, the Hall of Famer.
10:50Rey Mysterio now picking up the pace against the Creed brothers.
10:55Nobody home for Julius and Rey continuing to pick up speed.
10:58Biggest little man in the history of WWE.
11:02Mysterio sends Creed down.
11:05Rey Mysterio is timeless.
11:13Rey still upset over the attack by this mystery Luchador last week.
11:19Taking it out on the Creed brothers because Rey believes it was Gable.
11:22Look at this.
11:23Double team again.
11:24And Rey fighting out of it.
11:27Rey's in a predicament there.
11:28Oh, man.
11:30Caught by Julius.
11:31What power.
11:33What power by Julius.
11:35Oh, and Rey, though, planted him with a DDT.
11:37Julius was absolutely spiked.
11:39Dragon Lee.
11:40A clear count.
11:44The dynamic dragon Lee brings the crowd to its feet.
11:49And Rey making a long, familiar climb to the top.
11:53And Julius going to meet him there.
11:55He just jumped all the way to the top rope.
11:57You got to be kidding me.
11:58Julius Creed is an animal.
12:02Rey Mysterio.
12:03Down goes Creed.
12:05Into position.
12:06Dial it up, Rey.
12:106-1-9.
12:14Dropping the dime.
12:15A little small splash.
12:17L.W.O. with the win.
12:22Here are your winners.
12:24The L.W.O.
12:28What a match.
12:30And what a win for Rey.
12:32Oh, got from behind.
12:34It's that goofy Luchador again.
12:38Goofy?
12:38That was a fantastic flying headbutt.
12:45Oh, come on.
12:46You know who that is.
12:47He's clearly a multicultural Luchador.
12:50The man who made that move is famous.
12:53In an American-made mask.
12:58The Luchador.
12:59Mysterio right on top of Dragon Lee.
13:03Whoever this man is, he's in incredible shape.
13:09And he's not done yet.
13:24and a diving headbutt now that would be h-o-n americano if it was made in america
13:32anyway uh security in pursuit of uh of uh come on cory what hey be honest you cannot believe
13:40that that's not chad gable listen i watched raw last week from the comfort of my home and i saw
13:46another man wearing the same mask walking behind chad gable we try to tell me there's multiple
13:51masks cole you think it's some sort of clever way you explain things the american mage be written
13:57in spanish not american if it wasn't chad gable nonetheless let's switch gears as we get ready
14:02to show you what happened last week in our main event on monday night raw it was rollins and punk
14:08inside a steel cage
14:13madison square garden sold out tonight for yet another epic main event set rollins versus
14:20sia punk inside a steel cage there is nobody on this planet better than me the stakes are much too
14:30high
14:30the pressure is on
14:36and here we go this is not gonna be pretty far from it you and me a pinfall submission or
14:43escape from the
14:44cage with both feet touching the floor
14:52set rollins has made his plans clear he's obsessed with making sure sia punk doesn't make it to
14:57wrestlemania for sia punk it's about payback
15:03it's about going to the top of the cage it's both going to try to escape here
15:12it's about to hang on
15:17oh
15:21How much more do these two men have?
15:26These two just want to main each other.
15:30Stop!
15:31Here's the cover.
15:35GTS to Rollins.
15:38Stop!
15:39Puck just stole Rollins' move.
15:45GTS by Rollins to CM Puck.
15:49And Rollins with a stomp.
15:52Puck kicked out again.
15:57Super stomp.
16:04Oh, my God.
16:06Roman Reigns for 5-2.
16:09Well, Rollins won the match because Reigns dragged him out two to the floor.
16:15This is Roman Reigns remembering the rumble.
16:17Remembering what Rollins did to him.
16:24Stop!
16:25The OTC is out for blood.
16:29Well, I'm going to end it all for you now.
16:34Roman was about to end it for Seth Rink and Rollins.
16:49And Roman Reigns has lost it.
16:54Speared a puck.
16:57Roman Reigns is back.
16:59Roman Reigns.
17:03Well, there's a lot of people around here with a lot of explaining to do.
17:13And here's a man who needs some answers.
17:43Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Seth Franken-Rollins!
18:23What a shocking way to end Monday Night Raw last week.
18:27And no one saw that coming, particularly Seth Rollins.
18:35Seth Rollins is here, live, on Netflix.
18:39Oh!
18:43Oh!
18:48Oh!
18:50Oh!
18:57Oh!
18:58Sold-out crowd here tonight in Brussels, Belgium.
19:02They are singing along with the visionary, the revolutionary, Seth Franken-Rollins.
19:12Oh!
19:17Oh!
19:21Oh!
19:25Oh!
19:28Oh!
19:29Oh!
19:29Oh!
19:29Burn it down!
19:33It dawned on me, Cole, I had that exact same suit
19:35that Seth's wearing right now, but in pink.
19:37In pink. Nice.
19:39You know, Seth Rollins, when you think about it, Corey,
19:43he had to believe that it was coming at some point,
19:46that Roman was coming for payback at some point.
19:48I'm sure Rollins knew it was coming.
19:51Seth Rollins intimately familiar with Roman Reigns,
19:54perhaps more so than anybody else on the roster.
19:56But I don't think Seth expected Roman when Roman showed up.
20:06You don't leave the OTC land and live to tell the tale about it too frequently.
20:11Not many men have gotten away with it.
20:14Rollins looks to be the exception, but I don't like his odds.
20:18It was the obsession with CM Punk.
20:21I mean, that is a clouded Seth Rollins' mind for many, many months now.
20:27It's almost like the very same obsession that clouded Roman Reigns' mind
20:31at WrestleMania last year with Seth Rollins.
20:36Very similar situation.
20:37Forcing them to take their eye off the ball at the moment
20:40and paying terribly for doing it.
20:44all along with the finale with Seth Rollins' mind.
21:24Ladies and gentlemen, just announced Mountain Blue Las Vegas
21:27to host Undertaker, one dead man show,
21:30and NXT is part of WrestleMania week.
21:44I've been flying out of town for some peace of mind.
21:47It's like always, they just want a peace of mind.
21:51I've been focused on the future, never on right now.
21:54What I'm sipping, I can butcher you the people brown.
21:57I'm the one that interests me.
21:58Still to come tonight in our main event,
22:01the coveted Intercontinental Championship is on the line
22:05as the reigning defending champion.
22:07The unpredictable, badass Braun Breaker goes one-on-one
22:11with a former Intercontinental Champion in his own right,
22:14Finn Balor, who looks to put the Judgment Day back on top.
22:18Meanwhile, they are still singing Seth Rollins' song.
22:23Singing Seth Rollins' song here in Brussels.
22:54Singing Seth Rollins' song.
22:57City of Music
22:58Naming
22:58Father
23:12Please
23:13Eat
23:13Hot
23:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
24:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
24:24to Monday Night
24:27Raleigh!
24:32By the sound of y'all, you already know it,
24:36but in case you don't, I am a visionary!
24:41I am a revolutionary!
24:44I am...
24:46African Raleigh!
25:05Thank you!
25:31All right, all right, all right, all right.
25:35God, I was coming out here mad as hell,
25:38but it's hard to be mad with your beautiful voices serenading me.
25:43Thank you guys so much.
26:06Yeah, we'll get to him, but let's talk about Roman Reigns first.
26:21And you guys saw the footage you watched last week.
26:24Am I mad as hell that Roman Reigns came for revenge on Seth freaking Rollins?
26:31Absolutely not, because I'd have done the same damn thing.
26:36Ha, ha, ha.
26:40The problem is, even after all these years and a wise man in his ear,
26:48Roman Reigns still can't come up with a plan.
26:52He needs his architect to do it for him.
26:58He had it all figured out, the time, the place, the moment,
27:03except he left one little detail out,
27:07and that detail is the man whose name you were all chanting just a few moments ago.
27:21Yeah, yeah, yeah, the luckiest loser on the face of the planet.
27:30Because if I had just a few more seconds in that cage with Punk,
27:36I would have done what I promised the world I would do.
27:40I would have stomped his head through this man,
27:43ended his WrestleMania dreams,
27:46and I would have put his career on ice.
27:55I would have taken care of the CM Punk problem for all of us,
28:00all of us, including Roman Reigns.
28:03But now, it's just like the good old days.
28:06I'm left to clean up Roman Reigns' mess.
28:21Oh, don't worry about the OTC.
28:25I will be sure to put him in his place along the way.
28:30And it just so happens that my two favorite people,
28:37CM Punk and Roman Reigns,
28:41are going to be in the same place at the same time
28:47this Friday on SmackDown.
28:52Oh, trust me, Brussels.
28:55I wish they were here, too.
29:00But I was thinking,
29:04why should I let them boys have all the fun?
29:09I was thinking maybe I'll make a little trip down to Italy.
29:14Maybe I'll make a little trip to SmackDown
29:17and put myself right in between Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
29:23What do y'all think about that?
29:24What?
29:29That sounds like a nice way to solve a problem
29:32and clean up a mess.
29:34But that's happening Friday.
29:36Brussels, this is Monday.
29:38This is tonight.
29:39This ain't about Friday.
29:41This is about you guys.
29:43Because I'll tell you what,
29:45you've been one hell of a crowd all night long.
29:49You've been singing with your beautiful voices,
29:52and I don't want to take that away from you.
29:54We got one more match here tonight.
29:56That is the main event for the Intercontinental Championship.
30:01So, Brussels, what do you say you sing my beautiful song
30:06as I make my way down to SmackDown,
30:08and we make our way to the main event?
30:11Give it to me, Brussels.
30:31It's on.
30:31I'll see you boys on Friday.
30:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:34Well, Friday night SmackDown, live from Malona.
30:38Of course, USA Network in the States
30:40and on Netflix internationally.
30:42Corey looks like it's going to be some night.
30:44It's a bold move by Seth Rollins,
30:46but Seth Rollins is a bold guy.
30:48I'm very curious to see what transpires in Italy on Friday.
30:51Monday Night Raw will continue its European tour
30:53next Monday in Glasgow, Scotland.
30:56It's going to be one heck of a show
30:59because we have so much on the line
31:01next week on Monday Night Raw.
31:03Some good tickets still available for Monday Night Raw.
31:07We have the Intercontinental Championship
31:09on the women's side of things.
31:11Lyra Valkyria will defend the Intercontinental title
31:14against Raquel Rodriguez.
31:17One of the toughest tests of Lyra Valkyria's championship reign
31:20so far live next week.
31:21After hearing from Seth Rollins,
31:23we have to imagine CM Punk is another man
31:26with a lot on his mind.
31:28Glasgow is Roddy Piper territory.
31:30Got to wonder what the Second City Saint has to say
31:34on Raw.
31:34After what happened last week and this week,
31:37A Town Down Under is going to go into a championship match
31:39against main event Jey Uso.
31:40The question is,
31:41who will be Jey Uso's partner?
31:43We find out next week.
31:45Remember, special start time,
31:464 Eastern, 1 Pacific, 8 o'clock local in Scotland.
31:49After an incredibly intense interaction
31:51to kick off Raw tonight in Brussels,
31:54John Cena and Cody Rhodes will both,
31:56once again, be under the same roof
31:59next week in Glasgow on Monday Night Raw.
32:03But right now, we want to send it backstage
32:05to our very own Kathy Kelly.
32:10Thanks so much, Corey.
32:11I am here with the phenomenal AJ Styles.
32:15And AJ, you had a lot to say on the Raw Recap Podcast
32:18about Logan Paul.
32:20I was hoping that you could humor us
32:22and expand your thoughts here.
32:24Well, I'll stand behind everything I said.
32:27And listen, Logan Paul...
32:29Wait a minute.
32:32Did you hear that?
32:34Phenomenal.
32:37Anyway, listen, he doesn't belong on our roster.
32:39He's done nothing...
32:40I don't really have to feel.
32:43Are we going to do this again?
32:44I'm good, right?
32:45I don't need to do this.
32:47Look, I mean, I just want to offer
32:48a different perspective.
32:49If you don't want to talk, I'll leave.
32:51All right, let's hear it.
32:53Come on.
32:55Look, maybe you're not actually mad at Logan Paul.
32:58Maybe you're actually mad at yourself.
33:01Okay, I've heard enough.
33:02No, no, AJ, listen, listen, listen.
33:03How many years did it take you to get to WWE
33:05and find validation?
33:0716?
33:0817.
33:09Okay, 17.
33:11Didn't take Logan Paul 17 years to do it?
33:13Look, are you telling me you can't find respect
33:16for this kid who just waltzed into our business
33:17and accomplished everything you've wanted to do
33:19since you were a little kid in record time?
33:21Yeah, I see what you're doing.
33:22And it's not going to work.
33:24It's not going to work.
33:28I think it's working.
33:29I think so, too.
33:35Oh, there is Braun Breaker.
33:37He's the Intercontinental Champion.
33:41Penta made his intentions clear earlier tonight.
33:44He wants the gold.
33:45But first, Breaker has to defend tonight
33:49against this man.
34:07You know, Corey, Finn Balor told me earlier today,
34:11it's St. Patrick's Day.
34:13What a day for an Irishman to win a championship,
34:17or as we in the United States call it, amateur hour.
34:19But I agree with you, Finn Balor has a massive opportunity
34:23ahead of him tonight.
34:24Balor knows what it means to be Intercontinental Champion.
34:27Balor was the first ever WWE Universal Champion.
34:31Finn, no stranger to high stakes, high pressure situations.
34:34But I don't know if Balor has ever encountered anybody
34:37quite like Braun Breaker.
34:39Well, not in his career,
34:40because this will be the first time ever
34:43that Finn Balor goes one-on-one
34:46with the breakout star Braun Breaker.
34:49Breaker, Balor, for the Intercontinental title,
34:52live on Netflix.
35:05Ben Balor looking to win singles gold here tonight
35:09against one of the most impressive young superstars
35:12to come here in a long time, Corey, and Braun Breaker.
35:14You'll get no disagreement whatsoever from me
35:16regarding Braun Breaker.
35:18He's one of my favorite superstars on the roster to watch,
35:20and also, most likely, the last one I would volunteer to fight
35:24under any circumstance.
35:25Breaker is terrifying,
35:26but if anybody can solve Braun Breaker,
35:29it is the veteran Finn Balor.
35:37Balor focused and determined
35:39in tremendous physical condition.
35:44Remember, this matchup was set up after Judgment Day.
35:48Dominic Mysterio did a favor for Balor
35:51and talked to our general manager, Adam Pearce,
35:53and got this match set up for the Intercontinental title.
35:56Yeah, but then earlier tonight,
35:58we saw Finn Balor sort of balk at the idea
36:01of Dirty Dom recruiting Penta into the Judgment Day
36:04moments after Penta just declared
36:06that he wants the Intercontinental Championship.
36:08Maybe he doesn't have a subscription.
36:10Braun Breaker, I don't know if you know my name,
36:13but my name is Finn Balor.
36:25And I don't know if you know what I've done,
36:29but I was the first ever Universal Champion.
36:38I was the United States Champion.
36:41I was two-time NXT Champion.
36:46I was multiple-time Tag Team Champions.
36:54And soon to be again Intercontinental Champion.
37:15You like the woof?
37:16I know Braun's got the dogs with him.
37:19He's got his dogs with him.
37:20But he's barking up the wrong tree
37:24because it's St. Patrick's Day
37:27and Finn Balor is going to take
37:29the Intercontinental Championship
37:31home to Ireland tomorrow.
37:34And it's going to be too sweet.
37:43Big talk from Balor.
37:45Can he pay it off for the Intercontinental title?
37:50It's going to be a tall task,
37:51but Finn Balor is a superstar
37:53you can never bet against.
38:03Triple H was still in the thriving part of his career.
38:07He ripped his quad off of the bone.
38:11Like, oh my God, this is brutal.
38:15He went through a difficult time.
38:17Doctors were telling him no one had ever returned
38:19to athletic competition after an injury like that,
38:22after tearing your quad.
38:24He rehabbed hard.
38:26He trained hard.
38:27And his mindset the whole time,
38:28I'm going to be better than I was before.
38:30It's Madison Square Garden
38:32with the most passionate WWE fans
38:34in the whole entire world.
38:35And Triple H got to make his comeback.
38:50They gave him quite an ovation.
38:54It has been eight long months.
38:56The game has returned.
39:12It was one of the most emotional crowd responses
39:17I have ever heard.
39:25And you have the opportunity to celebrate the game
39:29at the Hall of Fame.
39:30Tickets are now available for Friday, April 18th
39:32as we celebrate the induction of Triple H
39:35along with Lex Luger, Michelle McCool, and others.
39:48Finn Balor looking to win
39:52the Intercontinental Championship.
40:15Can Finn Balor change the game tonight?
40:48The unpredictable badass,
40:51Braun Brinker,
40:52the current Intercontinental Champion.
40:56While Braun makes his way to the ring,
40:58we want to invite everyone to check out
41:00Raw Recap,
41:01which will take place tomorrow morning.
41:05It's available on WWE's YouTube
41:07and all audio platforms
41:09wherever you get your podcasts.
41:10Sam Roberts and Big E
41:12dive into everything Monday Night Raw.
41:14The guest tomorrow,
41:15she's going to have a lot to say, Corey.
41:17Rhea Ripley.
41:18Maybe Big E and Sam can get some answers
41:20to all the chaos that went down throughout tonight.
41:23But right now, in this moment,
41:24it is about Batman,
41:26the Intercontinental Champion,
41:28high-impact,
41:30personified,
41:31Braun Brinker.
41:46Senior official Chad Patton
41:48will work this match.
41:53The following contest scheduled for one fall
41:57is for
41:59the Intercontinental Championship.
42:05The Intercontinental Champion.
42:09The Intercontinental Champion.
42:11Introducing first,
42:12the challenger.
42:14From Bray,
42:16Chilney Wicklow,
42:17Ireland,
42:19weighing in at 190 pounds,
42:22representing
42:23the judgment day,
42:27Ben
42:28Ballard.
42:35And his opponent,
42:39from Atlanta,
42:41Georgia,
42:43weighing in
42:44at 250 pounds,
42:47he is
42:48the Intercontinental Champion,
42:54Braun
42:56Brinker.
42:58Brinker.
42:59Brinker.
43:00Brinker.
43:00Brinker.
43:01The great Alicia Taylor
43:03returning to action this week
43:04on Monday Night Raw
43:05with those
43:06ring introductions
43:07of the champion
43:08and challenger
43:09here tonight.
43:10That's what it's about,
43:10the prestigious
43:11Intercontinental Championship,
43:13which has been held
43:14by dozens of Hall of Famers
43:15since its inception
43:16back in 1979.
43:17The first ever champion,
43:19the late great
43:19Pat Patterson.
43:20We saw Triple H moments ago,
43:22he's held this prestigious title
43:23as well.
43:24For Finn Balor,
43:25Corey,
43:26he's a two-time
43:26Intercontinental Champion,
43:27but the last time
43:28he held the title
43:28was back in 2019.
43:31And it's his first
43:32Intercontinental Championship
43:33match since then.
43:35I'm very curious to see
43:36what type of strategy
43:37Finn Balor employs
43:39in this one.
43:39Balor,
43:40a world-traveled veteran
43:41of this game,
43:42knows full well.
43:43He's not gonna
43:44overpower Braun Brinker.
43:46And this is a rare instance
43:47where Finn might not
43:48be able to outpace
43:49his opposition.
43:50Finn's gonna have to
43:51rely on what he knows
43:52and wait and hope
43:53that Braun Brinker
43:54makes a mistake
43:55he can capitalize on.
43:55And the thing about Brinker,
43:56he makes very few mistakes,
43:58right?
43:59He doesn't seem to have
44:01many weaknesses,
44:02but a lot of people
44:03you talk to
44:04talk about the fact
44:05that maybe he needs
44:06some anger management.
44:07Perhaps Finn Balor
44:08can bring that into play
44:09tonight,
44:09bring Brinker
44:10off his game,
44:11the veteran that he is.
44:12That potentially could be
44:13an effective strategy
44:14for Finn Balor
44:15because as we're seeing,
44:16Balor realizing quickly
44:17you cannot impose
44:19your own physical will
44:20on Braun Brinker.
44:21Not at all.
44:21Braun is an anomaly.
44:23It's like a man
44:23who was built
44:24in a laboratory.
44:25Brinker is something
44:26more than human.
44:27And Finn Balor's finding
44:28that out firsthand
44:29right now.
44:29Balor though
44:30with a great
44:30side headlock takedown
44:31on Braun Brinker
44:32looking to ground
44:33the big man here.
44:34Conversely,
44:35if you're Braun Brinker
44:36you can't allow this
44:37to become a trap game.
44:38We saw it,
44:39cover here,
44:39we saw it several weeks ago
44:41where I think a lot
44:42of the WWE Universe
44:43expected Rhea Ripley
44:44to just run through
44:45EO Sky.
44:46And everybody was shocked
44:47when EO pulled the upset.
44:48That same thing
44:49could happen here tonight
44:50with Braun Brinker
44:51being the victim
44:51and Finn being
44:52the new Intercontinental Champion.
44:53Well and again,
44:54it's Wrestlemania season,
44:55right?
44:55Every single person
44:56looking to find
44:57their path
44:57to Wrestlemania.
44:59Balor wins tonight,
44:59he's going to defend
45:00the title there.
45:01Brinker's sent over
45:02the top rope by Balor
45:03but perhaps
45:05prematurely celebrating.
45:07Finn can't afford
45:08to get overconfident
45:09in this one
45:10as skilled as he may be.
45:12Brinker
45:12very eyes
45:13beyond his ears
45:14as he delivers
45:15the shoulders
45:16to the gut of Balor.
45:17You know,
45:18the pressure continues
45:19to build for Finn
45:20as well,
45:21Corey.
45:21Remember,
45:21he had that
45:22well-documented run
45:23to try to win
45:24the world title
45:24last year.
45:25For Finn,
45:26he hasn't held
45:27singles gold
45:28in three years
45:29as he sent over
45:30the top rope again
45:31and pressure just
45:32continues to mount
45:33on winning the title
45:34and uh-oh.
45:35Oh, no.
45:36Finn, uh...
45:36Stay down, Finn.
45:37Stay down.
45:39Braun Breaker
45:39going for that
45:40breakneck speed.
45:42Breaker now.
45:43And Finn Balor
45:44with a swing blade
45:45cuts Breaker off.
45:46Brilliant.
45:48there's the veteran
45:48Balor
45:50taking over.
45:59Balor
45:59just glanced down
46:00at the Intercontinental Championship.
46:02Would love to bring
46:02more gold
46:03to the Judgment Day.
46:05Of course,
46:05Liv and Raquel,
46:06the current
46:07Tag Team Champions,
46:08Raquel looking to win
46:09the Intercontinental title
46:10next week.
46:11And I think
46:11more gold
46:12may be just
46:13what the Judgment Day
46:13is lacking right now.
46:14There seems to have been
46:15a bit of turmoil,
46:16some misunderstandings,
46:17including earlier tonight.
46:19But I think
46:19when everybody's winning,
46:21the whole group
46:21will be happier.
46:22The whole group
46:23will communicate better
46:24and they'll just continue
46:25to try to amass more gold.
46:26Yeah, things haven't been
46:27on the same page
46:28since the
46:30excommunication
46:30of Rhea Ripley
46:31and Damian Priest
46:32from the group.
46:34Breaker beats
46:34the count back in.
46:35Again,
46:36Balor
46:37must pin
46:38or submit Breaker tonight.
46:40Breaker has the
46:40champion's advantage
46:41so a countout
46:41does not work for Balor.
46:43And listen,
46:44I think this might be
46:44an instance where
46:45Finn Balor relies
46:46on his extensive
46:47submission background.
46:49Finn Balor has studied
46:50many, many,
46:51of mixed martial arts
46:52including
46:53jiu-jitsu
46:54and I think
46:55you catch some sort
46:56of leg lock
46:57or a knee bar
46:58or something
46:58on someone as powerful
46:59as Braun Breaker.
47:00The muscles don't help.
47:01His tendons will still shred.
47:02They'll still pop.
47:03That's what Balor
47:04needs to rely on.
47:05Balor doing a great job
47:06of taking the power game
47:07away from Breaker
47:08early on.
47:13again using almost
47:14a full five count
47:15from the senior official
47:17Chad Patton here.
47:19That's just a smart
47:20veteran maneuver.
47:20Finn realizing he could
47:22get himself disqualified
47:23stopping right before
47:24the official reaches
47:25the count.
47:25But you inflict
47:25maximum punishment
47:26in those four and a half
47:27seconds.
47:30Wow.
47:31Breaker, oh my goodness.
47:32What athleticism
47:33by Breaker.
47:33That sunset flip
47:34on a basement drop
47:36kick from Balor.
47:37Balor now into the cover
47:38trying to win the
47:38championship here
47:39and a kick out.
47:41And I've never had the
47:41displeasure of being in
47:42the ring with Braun Breaker
47:43but I can guarantee you
47:44even for Finn Balor
47:45seeing someone the size
47:47of Braun use the
47:48athleticism he has
47:49that'll psych you out
47:50in the middle of a match.
47:51It's unnatural.
47:52Tremendous college
47:53football player in the
47:54United States.
47:55That's American football
47:56and of course
47:59had a little bit of time
48:00in the NFL
48:00and just a high caliber
48:03athlete.
48:04Of course the pedigree
48:04of his dad
48:06Rick and his uncle Scott.
48:11Now Balor backing
48:12Breaker into the corner.
48:14When did you realize
48:15that Breaker was going
48:16to be a star?
48:17I don't want to take
48:18all the credit for it
48:19Cole but I'd say
48:19almost instantly
48:20back in NXT.
48:22It's hard to look
48:23at Braun Breaker
48:24and not realize
48:25that he has more
48:26potential than perhaps
48:27most of the roster.
48:28The guy is a freak
48:29of nature.
48:30He could be the face
48:30of WWE someday.
48:32With that said
48:33people in the locker
48:34room know that.
48:34They realize that
48:35and they want to be
48:36the one to snuff out
48:37Braun Breaker's flame.
48:38And also sometimes
48:39it takes a long time
48:40to put it all together.
48:41Correct.
48:58For the first time ever
48:59Monday Night Raw
49:01is live in Brussels,
49:02Belgium.
49:03This is an
49:04intercontinental
49:04championship main event.
49:06Finn Balor the challenger
49:07trying to win the title
49:08from the current
49:09champion Braun Breaker.
49:11Honestly I hope we make
49:13Brussels a regular stop
49:14on the Raw and Smackdown
49:15tours going forward.
49:16This city has been
49:17unbelievable.
49:18The crowd's energy
49:19has been second to none
49:20and we have a hell
49:21of a main event
49:22unfolding before our
49:23very eyes.
49:24It's been a hell
49:24of a night already
49:25kicking the night off
49:26with John Cena
49:26and his crazy explanation.
49:29Oh!
49:30Side rushing legs
49:31with cover now
49:32by Balor
49:32for the title
49:33and a kick out
49:34by Breaker.
49:40The Rock
49:41is WWE Universe
49:42paying a little
49:42respect to our
49:43counterparts
49:43Kristoff and
49:44Philippe.
49:45Yep.
49:48The French
49:49commentary team.
50:11Not quite sure how
50:12wise this is.
50:13Cole, I've known
50:14Balor a long time
50:15and I was sort of
50:16hoping it was
50:17strategy that Finn
50:18was trying to get
50:18under the skin
50:19of Braun Breaker
50:19trying to get
50:20Braun to make
50:21a mistake.
50:22That did not seem
50:23to be the case
50:24and now Finn
50:24is paying for it.
50:25Launching himself
50:26with that flying
50:26elbow and out of
50:27Balor.
50:28Look at this.
50:28What power by
50:30Braun Breaker.
50:35There's a freak
50:36of nature.
50:38Breaker stood up
50:39by Balor.
50:41And Breaker
50:42Oh!
50:43Braun Breaker
50:43midair
50:44and delivered
50:44a power slam.
50:46Just like
50:46Daddy used to do
50:48picked out
50:49of midair.
50:58Oh, look who's
50:59here.
50:59I was wondering
51:00when these guys
51:01were going to be
51:01out here.
51:02Carlito and
51:02dirty Dominic
51:03Mysterio
51:04from behind
51:04off the distraction.
51:06Balor for the
51:06championship
51:07and a kick
51:07out of two.
51:11And now Breaker
51:12military press
51:14to Balor
51:14on his shoulder.
51:16Balor though
51:16turns it around.
51:17Great move
51:18by Finn
51:18for the title.
51:19Breaker at two.
51:23Finn Balor
51:24a fraction
51:24of a second
51:25away from
51:26shocking
51:26Braun Breaker
51:27in the whole
51:28WWE universe.
51:29You have to
51:30imagine Dirty
51:31Don as we
51:32look again
51:32at this
51:33fantastic counter
51:34by Finn
51:35Balor.
51:35Elbow right
51:36to the sternum.
51:37But Breaker
51:38able to survive.
51:39Dirty Dom
51:39probably out here
51:40to attempt
51:41to make amends.
51:42We saw how
51:42upset Dom
51:43was earlier
51:44by Finn's
51:45reaction.
51:48It's really
51:48unfair.
51:55And Balor
51:56and Dom
51:56now exchanging
51:57some words.
51:57Balor saying
51:58what are you
51:59doing out here?
52:00Oh God
52:01did you hear that?
52:06Uh oh
52:07Breaker
52:08breakneck speed.
52:09Uh oh
52:09down goes
52:10Balor.
52:13And Finn
52:14rolls out of the way
52:15out of the announce
52:16table
52:16and Braun Breaker
52:18now.
52:19Corey we've seen
52:20this before.
52:21I think I would
52:22suggest you get
52:23the hell out of the way
52:24because Breaker's
52:25about to break
52:25Finn Balor
52:26at half.
52:27Braun Breaker
52:28oh my God
52:29Balor may be
52:30dead.
52:34Unbelievable.
52:37Indeed.
52:41Breaker just
52:42wiped out
52:42Balor
52:43and wiped
52:43himself out
52:44of the process.
52:46Breaker bleeded
52:47from the mouth.
52:47He don't give a damn.
52:48You think that was
52:49high or bad?
52:49Someone lost a shoe
52:50over here in this
52:51chaos.
52:52This is nuts.
52:54This is for the
52:55Intercontinental Championship.
52:57Dirty Dom
52:57of the Judgment Day
52:58looks on.
52:59Balor trying to drag
53:00himself to his feet.
53:01Referee Chad Patton
53:02doing a great job
53:03to allow this matchup
53:04to go on.
53:05Not beginning
53:06to count yet.
53:07There is fear
53:08in the eyes
53:09of the challenger
53:10right now.
53:10Balor begging
53:11for mercy
53:12of which he will
53:13find none
53:14from Braun Breaker.
53:15There was fear
53:16in our eyes.
53:19Can you imagine?
53:21Breaker now
53:22back into the ring
53:22and Braun Breaker
53:24looking to put
53:25Balor away.
53:26Finn Balor
53:26with a sling blade
53:27again.
53:28That's twice now.
53:30Stick with what works
53:31Finn.
53:32Balor's got the
53:33champion rocked.
53:34Now into the corner
53:35goes Breaker.
53:36Balor's got him
53:37where he wants him.
53:38Shotgun dropkick
53:39on the money
53:40and the Intercontinental
53:41Champion just melted.
53:43Breaker is down
53:44and Breaker is in
53:44the drop zone.
53:45Balor from the top rope
53:47looking for the
53:47coup de grace.
53:48Breaker though
53:49moved out of harm's way.
53:51Went for the spear.
53:52Shoulder first
53:53into the post.
53:54Roll up by Finn
53:55to win the championship
53:56kick out at two.
54:01And now the power
54:03by Breaker.
54:04Cover on Balor.
54:06Balor's still in this thing.
54:19It is magical in here
54:21tonight.
54:28All for the prestigious
54:30Intercontinental Championship
54:32as you mentioned
54:33held by countless
54:34Hall of Famers
54:35countless world champions.
54:37Right now
54:38Braun Breaker
54:39is that man.
54:42Balor though
54:43caught him
54:44the veteran staying
54:44in this matchup.
54:45He's just been
54:46one step ahead
54:47of Breaker
54:47in those crucial moments.
54:49Balor's reaction time
54:51has been stellar
54:51this evening.
54:53Now again
54:53Finn heading up
54:54to the top rope
54:54Breaker.
54:56Going to meet him there.
54:58And great move
54:59by Braun.
55:01Stabilizing Finn
55:02for a moment.
55:07Balor showing
55:07a little grittiness
55:08just grabbing
55:09Braun Breaker
55:10by the face
55:10to stop Braun's
55:12forward ascent.
55:13Break up now.
55:18Meanwhile Carlito's
55:19in the ring.
55:20The official distracted.
55:21Dirty Dom
55:22now getting involved.
55:23Riping Breaker
55:24off the ropes.
55:25Oh no goodness though.
55:26It cost Finn
55:27to lose his balance.
55:28Dom inadvertently
55:29cost Finn
55:30to lose his balance
55:31as he dragged
55:32Breaker off the ropes.
55:36And Braun Breaker
55:37going to make Dom pay.
55:39Carlito back
55:40into the mix.

56:21into the match
56:22along with Carlito.
56:23They're into the ring
56:24attacking Breaker here
56:25after the matchup.
56:27I guess they're trying
56:27to make amends
56:29Dom especially
56:29for blowing this thing
56:31for Balor.
56:33I would agree
56:33with that assessment
56:34Cole.
56:35It's exactly what
56:36Dirty Dom's trying to do.
56:37Make it right.
56:38Yeah!
