00:02Get in, get in, get in.
00:03Get in.
00:05Get in.
00:13So she's gone now.
00:14Does that mean I win automatically?
00:17Does he forfeit?
00:17Hey, watch yourself.
00:18Are you blind?
00:20Do you see what is happening here?
00:22You care only about yourself.
00:24Get your ass to the ring now.
00:26No.
00:26Get your ass to the ring.
00:27For real.
00:28So Dirty Dom trying to get a free pie into the Money in the Bank matchup doesn't quite
00:33work that way.
00:34He will compete presumably against his other opponent in a one-on-one match now.
00:40Solo Sokoa has been taken out.
00:42Yeah, this match is going to happen.
00:44Money in the Bank qualifying, I guess, without Solo Sokoa here as Dragon Lee is ready for
00:51action.
00:55The following is the Man's Money in the Bank qualifying match, making his way to the ring
01:03from Tomahalisco Machico, Dragon Lee!
01:09So Solo Sokoa was beaten, attacked, abducted, kidnapped, and now it leaves Dragon Lee and Dirty
01:17Dom.
01:18Dragon Lee, who came so close to winning a championship in Mexico City before Chad Gable finally forced
01:24the submission what was just a classic a week ago.
01:28But these circumstances we're dealing with here.
01:30Yeah, these are highly concerning circumstances, but I'll speak as a former competitor.
01:35It is so much easier to win a one-on-one match than it is a triple threat match, so
01:40perhaps
01:41unintentionally, unwittingly, Dragon Lee and Dominic Mysterio are actually benefactors of
01:47this disappearance of Solo Sokoa as they both try and qualify themselves for the Men's Money
01:53in the Bank ladder matchup in New Orleans in under three weeks' time.
01:58Incredibly scary scene we saw moments ago with Solo Sokoa, abducted, beaten by 946, Royce
02:05Bronco and Lucien, and now it's Dragon and Dirty Dom here in our main event.
02:11And we will of course keep you updated as and when we get information on the Solo Sokoa situation.
02:16That is a developing and highly concerning situation, but we do have to refocus back on business,
02:22which is qualification for the Money in the Bank ladder match.
02:28And you're right, Joe, Dragon Lee has been on one hell of a tear of late.
02:32He is a form man in this company, and Dirty Dom has to be hyper-aware of that.
02:38It's not been a great run for Dirty Dom in recent weeks.
02:41They took the Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable to the limit to Dragon Lee in Mexico City.
02:45Dirty Dom, of course, you knew what happened at Triple Mania against Grande Americano.
02:53And now who will advance to Money in the Bank between these two?
02:56I just spoke to Dragon Lee a little early.
02:59He told me he wasn't happy about the fact that he lost in Mexico and wants to put that right
03:03tonight,
03:03despite all the accolades he was given for that matchup against Chad Gable.
03:09All right, obviously, we have a fluid situation with Solo Sokoa that I am working on.
03:14And as a result, Solo Sokoa will not be competing tonight.
03:20However, however, we advertise a triple threat.
03:27And this may be a bit abrupt, but there will be a triple threat.
03:33And there will be a replacement for Solo.
03:37And that man is coming right now.
03:44What? Oh, this is too good!
03:57The extraordinary situation that unfolded backstage.
04:02Solo's gone and Penta's here!
04:06The man of the moment, the man who shook the entire world last week against Roman Reigns,
04:14and the man who got jumped by Dirty Dom Mysterio earlier tonight only to pay that back in spades.
04:22Penta is now in the matchup!
04:25Penta, who seven nights ago was about a tenth of a second away from becoming World Heavyweight Champion.
04:33Stop!
04:33And now Penta is Dragon Lee!
04:36What do you mean it's not fair? It's a triple threat!
04:38This is managerial malpractice! Dirty Dom screwed over once again!
04:43He's got to compete like everybody else, Barrett!
04:48And now two of the great luchadors of this generation, Dragon Lee and Penta.
04:54Wait, you leave Dirty Dom out of that? Three of the great luchadors!
05:02Penta, what a reception he received earlier tonight on the heels of what happened in Mexico City.
05:09Both of these guys had stellar performances seven nights ago, and they're not done yet.
05:14Look at them go right here.
05:16I mean, when you get stellar performances, when you get momentum, you have to capitalize.
05:22How do you capitalize? Get yourself to money in the bank.
05:25And we've seen this before from... Dirty Dom trips him up.
05:30That's exactly what he should be doing, Joe Tess, especially after he just got two on one attack
05:35by Penta and Dragon Lee.
05:37Oh, it's over here on Penta!
05:43Triple threat qualifying, and Penta is in it!
05:58So, who will advance? And maybe a little payback from it.
06:02A little spicy chop there from Penta after the way the night opened up with Dirty Dom
06:08and J.D. McDonough and Judgment Day on the attack when we started this night here in San Antonio.
06:15Yeah, I mean, things can turn in the blink of an eye in this industry and that Solo Sokoa situation,
06:22which we are all still highly concerned about.
06:24And we've got people out there trying to get information for us.
06:28It's not forthcoming as we speak, but that has allowed Penta into this matchup stunningly,
06:34without a warm-up, thrust into this triple threat qualifier.
06:39Right now, Dirty Dom wants to shut this one down immediately and get his ticket punched to New Orleans.
06:47Last Monday, it was the first Raw in Mexico City in 15 years, and it will not be forgotten for
06:54another 15 years after what Penta put forth against Roman Reigns.
06:59The people of Mexico City booed Dirty Dom out of the building on multiple nights.
07:05It's absolutely disgraceful behavior.
07:07I think they are some of the most highly educated fans of the industry that there are.
07:13Highly biased Joe Test.
07:15Highly biased.
07:16Those are some of the best fans and most knowledgeable fans you will ever see,
07:20and they know exactly what they're seeing with Dirty Dom.
07:23No, hold on, you went too far at the end there.
07:26I agreed with what you were saying about great fans, yadda, yadda, yadda.
07:29Think about who they appreciate.
07:31Very rude people when it came to Dirty Dom.
07:34Outstanding fans.
07:35All the passion tree and tradition, respect for the industry there.
07:39Did somebody wear a Joe Test t-shirt or something?
07:41Absolutely not.
07:41Is that why you're talking about so much?
07:43Absolutely not.
07:43Well, let me tell you, the food is great there.
07:45I will agree with that, too.
07:47So it's one of the cervezas.
07:49And Dirty Dom stomping down.
07:52Well, we're talking about great food and great cervezas, but there is a great luchador
07:56stomping his opponents in the ring right now.
07:59And it is the best looking man on earth, Dirty Dom Mysterio.
08:05Do you ever use ellipsis and pause in sentences and allow yourself to think about what you're saying?
08:10The lucha Lothario, and he's now tying up Dragon League.
08:14That is genius.
08:15How's the referee not breaking that instantly?
08:18Perfectly legal.
08:19You want to come to the ring with a ponytail on top of your lucha mask, then it might be
08:24used against you.
08:29And it has been tough times in the judgment day of late, but things turning around tonight.
08:34Roxanne Perez already qualified for the women's.
08:36Now it's Dom's serve for the men's.
08:50Well, just before this men's Money in the Bank qualifying match,
08:55Solo Sokoa, who was to be one of the three participants,
08:58was abducted and attacked by 9-4-6 prior to his scheduled ring walk.
09:04The next thing you know, Dirty Dom and Dragon League assumed it was going to be one-on-one to
09:09qualify.
09:10And general manager Adam Pearce said no.
09:13We said a triple threat.
09:15We mean a triple threat.
09:16And Penta is put forth into the mix.
09:19But right now, it is Dragon League and Dirty Dom battling it out.
09:23Well, to be clear, Penta has flatlined in this matchup.
09:26He took a hell of a lot of abuse from Dirty Dom.
09:28Now, Dirty Dom has effectively turned it into a one-on-one matchup.
09:31And it's a matchup he looks like he could be about to win.
09:35And Dragon League not going down without a fight.
09:40Dabu's very outspoken earlier tonight.
09:43Look who's back.
09:44Oh, man.
09:46Dragon League looking to take control.
09:48What a super kick.
09:50And look, Dragon League has all the respect in the world for Penta,
09:52but he's not been oblivious to the fact that the eyes of the Lucha world have now turned to Penta
09:58after last week.
09:59And he wants a piece of that for himself.
10:01Fly him with fire.
10:03Topic Ohio from Dragon League out to take out Penta.
10:08Penta wiped out once again.
10:09Of course, Penta didn't get a chance to warm up for this matchup.
10:13And he may be feeling the consequences of that now.
10:17Wow.
10:18This could be right here.
10:20Tremendous.
10:21Sit out.
10:21Doesn't deliver enough.
10:22Yeah, great power and movement from the Dragon League.
10:25Not just a high flyer.
10:27Has that power base as well.
10:28And used it to fall a fight against Dirty Dom.
10:31Nice technique at the end, too.
10:33Pinnin' those shoulders down with the heels.
10:35Not quite enough to keep Dirty Dom down.
10:38He's got more offense than the Dragon Bomb you've seen this time and again.
10:42Oh, homage to his former tag team partner.
10:45AJ Styles is broken up by Penta.
10:49And looking for a quick one at Dirty Dom.
10:53I'll tell you, Penta just looks a little lethargic so far in this matchup.
10:58He starts to question how much did that matchup last week and all the emotion with it take out of
11:03Penta.
11:04You can't give more than he gave, Wade, against Roman Reigns.
11:07But there is always a price to pay when you lay it all on the line.
11:11And it takes time to recover, Joe Tess.
11:13And Penta might be suffering as a result of that.
11:15It's what he gave and what he took.
11:17There was the Penta driver, the Mexican destroyer, the springboard.
11:20But in the end, the spear was delivered in a match that everybody's still buzzing about.
11:26And now, Dragon Lee and Dirty Dom.
11:28And Dragon Lee's in position.
11:30But Penta meets him.
11:31Yeah, Penta sensed danger with Dom in the drop zone.
11:35Cannot let Dragon Lee execute from here.
11:37Let me cut him off and let me finish the job for myself.
11:44Now, Dragon Lee looking to deny Penta.
11:48Winner advances to Money in the Bank.
11:51We're only two and a half weeks away.
11:54Dragon Lee now closing.
11:56Oh, no, he's not simply cut off at the pass by a spring-heeled Dirty Dom Mysterio.
12:03Who's climbing right up there to assume the position that Penta was trying to take advantage of.
12:09There are three men in this ring looking to remind the world who is the premier luchador on planet Earth.
12:16Groundbreaker, Javon Evans, Tripp-Williams already have made their way to New Orleans.
12:20And now, who will get here between these three?
12:24Ugly landing for Dom Mysterio.
12:27Oh, the double stomp.
12:30Oh, my.
12:31Oh, my.
12:32Oh, my.
12:32Oh, my.
12:32The velocity.
12:35Dirty Tom.
13:01Three men now flatlined.
13:03Everyone dropping their biggest bombs and everyone paying the price.
13:08But it's Penta who is starting to stir.
13:11Who can capitalize from here?
13:13Qualification for the men's Money in the Bank ladder match in under three weeks time hangs in the balance.
13:25Oh, wow.
13:28Penta.
13:30Showing all the skill.
13:33I mean, the acrobatic attacks are one thing, but it's the.
13:38It's the precision.
13:40It's the pinpoint accuracy of these luchadors that really blows the mind time and again.
13:48And with two men down, Dirty Dom has the ball in his court now to put this away.
13:54And the modern day, Eddie Guerrero doing his thing.
14:02As he signals that to these proud Texans who have gathered here at the Frostbank Center.
14:08And this is where class and excellence starts to show its head.
14:13This deep in the matchup.
14:15Everyone hurt and everyone suffering.
14:18How deep can you dig?
14:20Oh.
14:21Well, back from the dead there was Dragon Lee just when Dirty Dom was building up that head of steam.
14:28Great precision by Dragon Lee with the kick to deny Dom.
14:32And Dragon Lee is sensing magic in the air here in San Antonio.
14:37And his career will really take the next step tonight if he can qualify for the men's Money in the
14:44Bank ladder matchup.
14:46But it simply is not that easy.
14:48Not with the caliber of competitors he has in this matchup.
14:54See Dirty Dom trying to gather himself.
14:58Dom Mysterio talked so much earlier tonight.
15:00Then attacked Penta with J.D. McDonough.
15:02Yeah, this deep in the match gather your thoughts and try and catch your breath.
15:06Try and block out the pain that is coursing through every part of your body this deep.
15:12And remember the prize that is at stake.
15:21Back in San Antonio, Joe Testatore, Wade Barrett with you.
15:24Penta Dragon Lee, Dirty Dom.
15:25One of these three men will leave tonight with a guaranteed place in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
15:32Hard to believe, but we're only two and a half weeks away from what you will see in New Orleans.
15:37And it's absolutely criminal that only one of these three competitors is actually going to qualify for the men's Money
15:45in the Bank matchup given their talent.
15:47But it just reminds us all how deep the talent pool really is on Raw.
15:52The corner handstand kick, sternum stomp, and now Penta and Dragon Lee picking right up where they started this match.
16:04The triple threat rules.
16:05There is always someone laying in wait, ready to strike.
16:08And right now that man is Dragon Lee, and he does not miss right on the kisser at Dirty Dom.
16:17Dirty Dom is in such a tough spot in that corner, laid out like that.
16:22And now distracted.
16:23Oh, to the outside!
16:27Beautiful work.
16:28There was tremendous awareness from Dragon Lee there because Dragon Lee saw that Penta was stirring, knew full well that
16:36if he didn't take Penta down very quickly, he was going to become the victim.
16:42And this crowd is loving what they're seeing out of Dragon Lee.
16:47Oh!
16:48Dom!
16:49Dom!
16:49Contact!
16:50With a mid-flight 619!
16:53Stunning stuff from Dirty Dom, but somehow Dirty Dom bounces back.
16:57No, he does not!
16:58The driver!
16:59Oh, Dirty Dom could advance right here!
17:01So, Dragon Lee was going for that cannonball dive against Penta.
17:06Dom read it, Wade.
17:08I cannot believe the quick reactions and pinpoint timing of Dirty Dom here, just a half step ahead of Dragon
17:17Lee, and that was pivotal.
17:18And by all rights, for my money, this should have been victory for Dirty Dom, but this match lives on.
17:25That timing was incredible.
17:27That is what is on the line, to be one of the six competitors, the briefcase suspended.
17:34Who will qualify for money in the bank here?
17:37Triple threat matchup now turned into triple threat brawl, and it seems like Penta's getting the best of it.
17:45Oh, he sends him!
17:46Oh, it's EDT!
17:48What a great body control that was!
17:50Constantly thinking, oh!
17:52Oh, Penta driver! Penta driver!
17:572.9 does not get you the dub!
18:01As impressive as it was from Penta, equal to it was Dirty Dom.
18:06Another look at the high impact here on Dirty Dom, turned upside down, inside out, but that is a champion
18:14level kick out there from Dirty Dom.
18:16Seven nights ago, he did that to Roman Reigns.
18:20Seven nights ago, he was oh so close against Roman Reigns.
18:26Can he put himself into a championship opportunity again?
18:34This is awesome chance ring out here in San Antonio.
18:38I concur!
18:40Is it ever!
18:40And the awesomeness is simply continuing for our viewing pleasure.
18:44Oh, he wants Operation Dragon.
18:47He wants a trip to New Orleans.
18:49I need a fire!
18:53Connecting right to the jaw.
18:56Oh, and a save by Dom!
18:58Yeah, Dom had to be on the money there. That was a three count. Penta was out.
19:03And speaking of three.
19:05Well, from a three count to the three amigos.
19:08Dirty Dom.
19:12But no!
19:15Eddie Tribute is countered.
19:17And Dragon now.
19:20Regains momentum.
19:23But Dom is rocked.
19:25Is he ever?
19:26This could be it!
19:28Penta comes in!
19:30I mean, all three competitors here have gone for broke.
19:35All three have had victory within their hands only to have had it taken away by a late breakup
19:42from the third opponent in this matchup.
19:46And to think over the course of the past week what these three men have been through.
19:52Penta taking Roman to the limit.
19:54Dragon Lee was in a classic with Chad Gable.
19:58Dirty Dom had the heartbreak of Triple Mania and then attacked Penta with JD earlier tonight.
20:04And now one of these men will be in Money in the Bank.
20:16Oh, Dragon Lee is met by that big kick.
20:20Oh, delivers a massive knee!
20:29And Dragon Lee scaling to new heights here.
20:33And with Penta completely out.
20:36If he gets in position, he could close it out.
20:40Oh, Dirty Dom knocks him away!
20:42Well, exactly what he should be doing in that situation now.
20:45Capitalizing!
20:46Rock splash, but knees are up!
20:48Knees are up!
20:50Styles Clash 13!
20:55This could do it!
20:58Oh, Penta at the last possible second!
21:02Oh, talk about saving the matchup for yourself!
21:07Stunning time in there from Penta.
21:10And this is exactly why the inherent difficulties of winning a triple threat matchup at this level,
21:18with these stakes are so apparent.
21:22Styles Clash should have been it, but a millisecond before the three count, Penta breaks it up.
21:35Well, we firmly agree with the audience here in San Antonio, but we still need a victor here,
21:41and we must be inching ever so close.
21:44All three men ready to drop in.
21:46Everything has been awesome with these two right now.
21:50Oh!
21:50Are you kidding me?
21:52Mexico to steal!
21:53On the apron!
21:54The Dragon Lee bounces to the outside, and it's Dirty Dom's to win!
21:586-1-9!
21:59Dirty Dom's gonna steal!
22:00Dom's gonna take advantage!
22:01He's going up for the frog splash!
22:04Dom!
22:05For money in the bank!
22:08What?!
22:08Penta kicks!
22:12A Dirty Dom looks like he's seen a ghost!
22:16The Mexican destroyer on the apron to Dragon Lee!
22:20Write him off!
22:21Dragon Lee is done!
22:23It's all in the hands of Dirty Dom!
22:27Frog splash from the top!
22:30An inevitable three count until Penta does the unthinkable!
22:36Penta is absolutely red hot in the zone!
22:41But he's tearing off the top turnbuckle!
22:44He has exposed the turnbuckle!
22:47While normal moves are not getting it done against this version of Penta,
22:52let's introduce a little steal into the conversation!
22:56And now Dirty Dom!
23:00Looking to bring Penta right into that corner!
23:03Oh!
23:03Oh, a reversal!
23:04That should be a disqualification, Joe!
23:06Penta!
23:09Springboard Mexican destroyer!
23:18Here is your winner!
23:22Penta!
23:24How can you not love everything about him?
23:30Just a jaw-dropping matchup!
23:35But this really is a momentum industry, and perhaps nobody after last week has more momentum,
23:42and that momentum helped him reverse Dirty Dom into that exposed buckle,
23:47and that momentum off the middle rope!
23:50This springboard Mexican destroyer right on the top of the scalp of Dirty Dom gets the three count!
23:57All three men brought their A-plus game tonight!
24:01But destiny was centered on Penta, and it is Penta who is now added to Trick Williams,
24:09Braun Breaker, Javon Evans, and two more to be decided in the men's Money in the Bank ladder matchup!
24:18What a night for Penta!
24:19And an honest ending for Solo Zakoa!
24:22I cannot wait for Money in the Bank!
24:26Penta's in it!
