00:00Coming up on Main Event, the Creed Brothers are looking for revenge after two straight losses to the Authors of Pain.
00:06Will the third time be the charm for the Creed's to get a W, or will A.O.P. pull off the hat trick against Julius and Bruce?

00:17Ah, Dawg, you ready for some tag team action?
00:19Ready for it! Been ready!

00:42Well, one week after Julius set the example in singles action, Big Brute joins the fray tonight, as the Creed's look for more success in the tag team race.
00:51I can't imagine adding him will hurt the odds.
00:54As Brutus and Julius, the brother combination, looking to get back on track here tonight and avenge an old foe here tonight on Main Event.

01:20From what I understand, I'm not qualified to participate.
01:24Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
01:25Yeah. It's because I'm flat-footed, I think.
01:36Oh, snap.
01:38And their opponent, accompanied to the ring by Paul Ellering, representing the Final Testament!
01:52At a combined weight of 618 pounds, Akon, Russia, Authors of Pain!
02:04Well, a few weeks after falling just short in a World Tag Team Championship opportunity on Raw, nearly 620 pounds of force, ready to make another statement in the tag team division.
02:15Athleticism and aggression are about to be on display here tonight.
02:20This is a duo certainly looking for some revenge in the tag team division.
02:26They want to move right up the charts, and speaking of moving right up, Money in the Bank, presented by Wheatley American Vodka.
02:33On this American Independence Day weekend, make sure your cocktails are top-run by using an American Vodka.
02:38So grab an American Mule with Wheatley American Vodka, and you can take that to the bank.
02:46You do not want me drinking that American Vodka.
02:49Well, between that and the Cosmic Cookies, I don't know what could happen.
02:52Break out in handcuffs.
02:53You've been pretty sharp the last couple of weeks. Think maybe you ran out of some cookies?
02:57Hey, to be quite honest, do you know how tough Paul is?
03:01First hand, I do not.
03:02But of course, the Hall of Famer managing one of the greatest tag teams of all time in the Road Warriors,
03:06and now here alongside the Authors of Pain.
03:08Look at the aggression.
03:10As right now, the Authors of Pain looking to...
03:12Occam in the ring now, tagging in Big Rezar.
03:15Occam and Rezar, of course, have been an absolute force ever since returning to the WWE in early 2024,
03:21really shaking up the tag team divisions, both on SmackDown and now on Raw.
03:25I'll tell you what, both these teams right now could use what we talk about on this show all the time,
03:29and that's some momentum, some positive momentum.
03:32And you have a little, like we talked about with Julius Creed winning the singles competition last time,
03:37but now they're in the tag team competition, and that's what the brothers do.
03:40So let's see if they can bring it to AOP here.
03:42As the Albanian Psycho Rezar looking to dominate here against Julius Creed.
03:46And we saw Julius against Tyler Bate, talked about him being one of the pound for pound
03:50strongest competitors in all of the WWE.
03:52And here comes Big Brutus Creed looking to Brutus Smash.
03:55Yeah, just the athleticism of these two, and I know I've said that word a hundred times,
03:58but I can't get over the explosive, the way he hits the ropes,
04:02and the way they both hit the ropes, and they're so agile with the toe throw so quickly.
04:06Brutus and Julius starting to smash right here in Dog.
04:09How did the Creeds overcome two straight losses to the end?
04:11Oh my Lord, see, with stuff just like that, like that's just a power move
04:15that you didn't think they were going to be able to pull off with the team.
04:17Oh, and Julius.
04:19Wow.
04:20Takes the big Rezar to the outside, and he tumbles.
04:22He follows.
04:24As Julius Creed now.
04:26You gotta be kidding me.
04:27Launches himself from the inside.
04:29Oh, takes out the AOP.
04:31Did not expect that.
04:33And the Creed brothers overcome the odds and take out AOP here on Main Event.
04:40And we're back here on Main Event, Dog.
04:42It's been back and forth all throughout the break.
04:44Both teams looking for a win.
04:45Yeah, and both teams trying.
04:47Oh!
04:49Up and down goes Julius.
04:51That was from up in the air.
04:53As Rezar diving right here.
04:56That's power.
04:57World-class kickboxer.
04:59Look at those.
05:00Just hammer fist.
05:01Talk about the Brutus smash.
05:02How about a Rezar smash?
05:03Wow.
05:04Let's take another look here.
05:05Look at this.
05:06As Julius Creed.
05:08He almost lost him.
05:09230-plus pounds up and right down.
05:12And, Dog, going back a couple of weeks ago,
05:14how close were the AOP to winning the tag team championship?
05:16Wow, very close.
05:17Very close.
05:18And you've got to think that Paul Elring has had them watching videotape
05:21and studying and training harder than ever after that close loss.
05:25Ever since coming to Monday Night Raw, dominating the Creed,
05:27they've gotten by the New Day as well.
05:29Authors of Pain certainly looking like one of the more dominant forces
05:31in the tag team division.
05:33And with this power and strength-like combination, Dog,
05:35it's hard to overcome.
05:36Wow, how do you?
05:37Oh!
05:38You've got to fight fire with fire.
05:40Into the cover here.
05:42Acom right on the cusp.
05:44And Julius able to hang on.
05:48And taking a look at the Authors of Pain and their future.
05:50She's not out here right now,
05:51but what does Scarlet perhaps see in the future for the AOP?
05:54Look at that domination.
05:55Right in the chest.
05:57Stomped him right to the mat.
05:58Took solar plexus.
05:59Windy gone.
06:00Can't fight.
06:01Can't breathe.
06:03As Acom looking to control right here.
06:05And again, the Final Testament also.
06:07We talked about Scarlet carrying Cross as well.
06:09How much influence does the Final Testament really hold
06:11over the Monday Night Raw?
06:13Well, I think there's power in numbers.
06:15And these guys have got the numbers right now.
06:17So they're just getting started, this faction, Final Testament.
06:21So I'm excited to see where they go.
06:24The AOP says they will dominate WWE
06:26and they're coming for all of the gold.
06:28They're doing a pretty dang good job of it right now.
06:30Acom and Rezar certainly making a statement here
06:32against the Creed Brothers.
06:34Really slowing the pace down too.
06:36This is how they want it.
06:38Former Raw Tag Team Champions.
06:39Former NXT Tag Team Champions.
06:41Essentially have dominated everywhere they've been
06:43has been Acom and Rezar.
06:44And of course with the Hall of Famer,
06:45Paul Ellering in their corner.
06:48Look at this sort of choke hold here a lot.
06:50Very difficult here for Julius Creed to get out of it.
06:52He's moving him.
06:54And Rezar putting himself in between Julius and Bruce here.
06:56Oh, he picked him up.
06:57We talk about that Raw strength of Julius Creed.
06:59When you can't breathe, it's hard to pick up a man
07:01that weighs 340 pounds.
07:03The former Division I amateur standout at Duke University
07:06getting manhandled right here by Rezar.
07:08Like a tree limb.
07:13And Rezar here taking his time with Julius Creed.
07:17Oh!
07:18Oh, shoulder.
07:19And just enough time for Julius to stick and move.
07:21Nobody tagged a fresh man in.
07:23Acom is in.
07:24As Julius desperately trying to get Brutus in this matchup.
07:27Oh, they're so close.
07:29Oh!
07:30Connects to the enziguri.
07:31And there's the separation.
07:32And it's tied to Brutus Smash.
07:34Springboard.
07:37Oh!
07:39Talk about tree limbs.
07:40Big Brutus Bites.
07:41Big Brutus Smash.
07:45Wow.
07:47The strength.
07:50You gotta be kidding me.
07:52Look at that athleticism.
07:54Standing boots.
07:56Just in time with big Rezar.
07:58And this one's starting to break down right here, dawg.
08:00Julius sent to the outside.
08:02Right out here in front of us.
08:03And Brutus.
08:04With Rezar as well.
08:06In the ring now with Acom.
08:07Oh, he scooped him.
08:08Oh, and Acom.
08:09The big slam.
08:12As they could be on the cusp right here.
08:14Yeah, this might be it.
08:17Haru-haru.
08:18Bam!
08:20And the last chapter.
08:22And AOP is on point.
08:24Wow.
08:26Wow.
08:27Here are your winners,
08:29Authors of Pain!
08:33Well, dawg, the Creed certainly brought the fight here tonight.
08:36But for the third straight time, the Authors of Pain dominate.
08:39Julius and Brutus.
08:40You talked about it earlier.
08:41How do you combat their size and strength?
08:43That just answers your question.
08:45You don't.
08:46As Acom and Rezar.
08:47A very satisfying win right here.
08:49Let's take a look at the athleticism of Brutus Creed.
08:51Wow.
08:52As we thought this might be enough.
08:53Adding another wrinkle into the playbook.
08:55Digging a little bit deeper.
08:56Trying to find some success right here.
08:58Athleticism and aggression.
08:59Aggression won the day.
09:01That size and strength is entirely too much.
09:04Led by Paul Ellering, the Authors of Pain.
09:07Another victory here.
09:08As they want more title opportunities here.
09:11Not just on Monday Night Raw.
09:12As they look to dominate all throughout the WWE.
09:15In the Tag Team Division.
