00:00Moments ago, Randy Orton disposed of Ludwig Kaiser after a sneak attack.
00:05Pay attention to the world champion Gunther.
00:07When Kaiser would get back in the ring, chop block, taking out Orton from behind.
00:11Orton thought he had Ludwig subsided next to the ring, and instead, he felt victim to Gunther turning him inside out.
00:20Gunther proving to Randy that you're not the only one that can strike from out of nowhere.
00:25But we have massive news. It was made official by our general manager, Adam Pearce, during the commercial break.
00:30For the first time in almost 10 months, Randy Orton in action on Monday Night Raw, in our main event, versus Ludwig Kaiser, tonight.
00:42And there's Sheamus, set for a matchup with Pete Dunne.
00:45Well, Pat McAfee will be heading overseas to Sheamus' hometown of Dublin, Ireland, this coming Saturday.
00:52Pat will be there as part of ESPN's Game Day.
00:55Yeah, it's an absolute honor to be a part of College Game Day, and obviously, being on the program, I get a chance to answer some questions.
01:02Like, the first international show of all time is in Dublin, Ireland. Who should be the guest picker?
01:07I said, bang! Give me Sheamus!
01:09So the red-headed fella will be picking games and having a blast in Dublin on Saturday.
01:14We'll be live from J.R. Mahan's on Friday.
01:17That's the Pat McAfee show, live on Friday from Dublin.
01:20Sláinte la, that means cheers.
01:29This man's not from Dublin.
01:32And his opponent, from Birmingham, England, weighing in at 205 pounds, the pearls of weight, Pete Dunne!
01:44You know, Pete Dunne's been complaining that Sheamus left the Brawley Brooks high and dry, took off on them, didn't give them any opportunity to expand their careers.
01:53Rich Holland proved that argument wrong this past Tuesday night on NXT.
01:58He won the NXT Tag Team Titles with Andre Chase of Chase U.
02:02So Pete Dunne, for some reason, extremely bitter over the past relationship with the Celtic Warrior, Sheamus.
02:10And I've obviously worked with Pete Dunne and Rich Holland. You're talking about two completely different mindsets.
02:16Pete Dunne said, you know, everything that Sheamus did was disrespectful, trying to put him down, hold him back.
02:23He's had a grudge for a long time, and I'll tell you what, when a human like Pete Dunne holds a grudge, that thing can certainly fester.
02:30Pete Dunne is also looking ahead to tomorrow on NXT.
02:35When he battles in a triple threat match for an opportunity to become the number one contender for Ethan Page in the NXT Championship.
02:44That's College Game Day's guest picker right there. Letting Pete Dunne know, hey, Bob, you're in for a fight here tonight.
02:52Pete Dunne's not scared of that guy, Paul.
02:54Joe Hendry and Wes Lee also part of that triple threat match tomorrow night.
02:58I believe in Joe Hendry. I'm sure.
03:00Well, Pete Dunne doesn't.
03:01I mean, you gotta wonder if Dunne is looking forward to that match tomorrow night.
03:04May overlook, as crazy as it seems, the Celtic Warrior tonight.
03:08Yeah, he can't do that because this big fella from Dublin will...
03:14Oh!
03:15Slaughter him.
03:18Sheamus fired up tonight.
03:20Pete Dunne has said on a number of occasions that he is here for one reason, and that is to hurt people.
03:26And he wanted to start with Sheamus.
03:28And Dunne!
03:29The bruiser weight with a kick to the ear of Sheamus, and now Dunne goes on the attack.
03:34The master of joint manipulation, Pete Dunne punishing Sheamus here.
03:39Yeah, sometimes manipulating the joints isn't easier whenever you're fighting somebody that's bigger,
03:43but whenever you bust their hands a week before that with a shillelagh, it certainly helps.
03:47Yeah, and again, working on the hand of Sheamus.
03:50Look at this.
03:51Pete Dunne trying to break the knuckles and the fingers of Sheamus here.
03:58And continuing to work on the arm that he attacked with a shillelagh last week.
04:04Now trying to put Sheamus into a submission position.
04:08Dunne's shoulders.
04:09No, thought they were down, but Rob Zapata, the official, is right there.
04:12No!
04:13Knee right to the back, a variation of the Irish Curse Backbreaker by the former world champion, Sheamus.
04:19Won one of his world titles just down the road from Fort Lauderdale in Miami at WrestleMania.
04:25Daniel Bryan, 18 seconds to win that world championship.
04:31Pete Dunne just got hurled.
04:34And tonight, once again, in South Florida, taking the fight to the...
04:39Pete Dunne.
04:41Crowd's chained butchered, Pete Dunne.
04:43And now Dunne right onto our announce table.
04:46Sheamus is throwing Pete Dunne around like he's two-a-tuckable-on-a-throwing-a-football-to-Tyreke Hill.
04:52Hey, I'll see you in Dublin, pal.
04:54What about unbiased journalism?
04:56Oh, and Pete Dunne took advantage.
04:58And by the way, that was your fault.
05:00Sheamus turned around to give you a high-five, and the distraction cost him.
05:04And now Pete Dunne has taken over this match.
05:06Way to go, McAfee. Great job.
05:08Sheamus is coming again!
05:13And Dunne now.
05:16Working on the already injured hand of Sheamus.
05:18Dunne has taken over this matchup.
05:24And a kickout by Sheamus.
05:25The story of this match, during the commercial break,
05:28has been Pete Dunne's constant attack on the injured hand of Sheamus
05:33that Dunne took out with a shillelagh last week.
05:36Might have been a bite of one of the fingers during the commercial break
05:38from Pete Dunne, who hates being called Butch, to Sheamus.
05:41I mean...
05:42Well, Pete Dunne said it was Sheamus who came up with that stupid nickname, Butch.
05:46Blames him for it, says it almost ruined his career.
05:49Said that Sheamus wanted the spotlight and only wanted to use Ridge and Pete Dunne as his lackeys.
05:55Well, I don't know if you just want to toy with Sheamus.
05:58This is Sheamus' game, Pete.
06:00Sheamus loves to brawl, loves to fight,
06:03loves to get punched in the mouth and punched back like he did there.
06:06And he's an Irishman.
06:10Oh my goodness! Did you hear that?
06:13Oh-ho-ho!
06:16That sounded like somebody hitting the boards here in this Cognia arena.
06:19Where are you, bitch?
06:20Uh-oh.
06:21Oh! And a running forearm by Dunne!
06:24And now just unloading on Sheamus.
06:28I mean, Sheamus said, is that all you got?
06:30It sounded like it was.
06:32I wasn't sure if he said Butch or another word that sounds like that.
06:36Well, that might be why Pete hated it so bad,
06:38because people were calling him a little baby back Butch.
06:41And now look at him!
06:42And now Sheamus with the axe handle, knocking Pete Dunne down.
06:48Dunne, a former tag team champion in NXT,
06:51a former NXT UK champion as well.
06:54And Sheamus now with a wicked clothesline, a little payback there.
06:59Yeah, it's almost like Pete Dunne woke up Sheamus.
07:01And now copper slam to Dunne.
07:04Finish this thing off, Sheamus.
07:06You've got to pick some games on Saturday.
07:09Maybe you guys make it to Saturday after Friday night.
07:13I've heard there's nothing but water over there.
07:15And now, Pete Dunne going to be wrapped up in the top ropes.
07:21Was looking for ten beats in the boundary,
07:23but Dunne went right back to the injured hand.
07:26Well, he exposed the hand, he exposed the hand.
07:28The ten beats in the boundary.
07:30Exposes his hand, now Pete flips him.
07:34With his own ten beats.
07:36To Sheamus.
07:41An intense, hard-hitting Pete Dunne.
07:46With a shrug and a smile.
07:49This is the Pete Dunne who first burst on the scene
07:52in the NXT UK tournament a number of years ago.
07:56But Sheamus now has Dunne caught.
07:58And this is the Sheamus that emerged on the scene 15 years ago.
08:03They like to beat the drum here for the Florida Panthers.
08:06Sheamus is doing his own version.
08:08Want to Stanley Cup with this method?
08:16Well, this is a different variation of ten beats in the boundary.
08:23That's 20 beats in the boundary.
08:26And he's got over 13,000.
08:30A record-breaking crowd here tonight in Fort Lauderdale on its feet.
08:3613,718 people want to see an Irishman kick Pete Dunne's head off.
08:48Sheamus went for the pro and a step-up kick by Dunne.
08:51Stopped Sheamus in his tracks.
08:53Pete now second row.
08:55No soft knee to the midsection.
08:57Cover by Sheamus. Hook of the leg.
08:59And a kick out by Dunne.
09:02I know you said midsection.
09:04I think we all know where that knee hit.
09:07And the fact that Pete Dunne kicked out.
09:09Oh boy.
09:14Right on target.
09:19And now Sheamus with Dunne on his shoulders.
09:23It's not Christmas.
09:25He's up to the second rope.
09:27We had a nutcracker and now maybe a white noise.
09:30He was looking for white noise and Dunne able to capitalize.
09:33Look at the power of Pete Dunne with a sit-down polar bomb.
09:36For the win on Sheamus who kicks out at two.
09:39Dunne can't believe it.
09:41So I don't think Pete was able to catch that as cleanly as he would like.
09:44His legs kind of held up Sheamus, protect him a little bit.
09:47But the fact that Pete was able to powerbomb Sheamus.
09:50At 270 pounds, Dunne walking around the ring with it.
09:54Lord is right.
10:00Indeed it is.
10:01What a way to kick off Monday Night Raw tonight.
10:05Two of the best in the world going at it.
10:07And now Pete Dunne trying to trap Sheamus' bad hand inside the turnbuckle pad.
10:14Sheamus might as well be handcuffed.
10:18His bad hand caught in the turnbuckle pad.
10:22Three ounces ain't illegal.
10:23Sheamus is a sitting duck.
10:25Kick right to the bad hand of Sheamus.
10:27Sheamus trying to somehow hold the hold.
10:30Turnbuckle off.
10:31Probe kicked by Sheamus.
10:34Cover.
10:36And a win.
10:40Here is your winner.
10:43Sheamus.
10:46What a match.
10:48What a fight.
10:51What a win.
10:54Pete Dunne looks fabulous tonight against Sheamus.
11:01He made one slight error and Sheamus capitalized with a massive probe kick.
11:09Brute strength saved Sheamus as he heads to Dublin with a win.
11:16Oh yeah.
11:19What I'm ready for is getting that win for the whole new day.
11:24I love it baby.
11:25I'm here for it, I'm here for it.
11:26Yeah, I got you bro.
11:28Hey Woody, can I talk to you for a minute?
11:30Yeah, what's up?
11:31I've been just noticing that over the past couple of weeks your energy's been kind of off.
11:34I mean, is everything okay?
11:36Karrion and all that, like wedge dropping.
11:38You know he's just trying to drive a wedge, right?
11:40Yeah, I know that.
11:41That's what Karrion does.
11:42People tried to do it to us before, they're going to try to do it to us again, but Karrion's not the problem.
11:46Honestly, I just wish you would have talked to me about bringing Odyssey in before you did.
11:52Because it just feels like you're trying to replace Big E and I don't want to do that.
11:55Okay, whoa.
11:56Number one, I'm sorry.
11:58Number two, nobody's getting replaced.
12:00Nobody could ever replace E.
12:02This isn't about bringing Odyssey into the new day.
12:04Bro, you remember what it was like when we were first trying to get the new day off the ground?
12:07Yeah, I do.
12:08Everybody making fun of us.
12:09Everyone talking trash about us.
12:11Man, it was hard, man.
12:12But we got through it because we had each other.
12:15We became one of the greatest tag teams, if not the greatest tag team of all time.
12:19Yeah.
12:20Bro, we are family, man.
12:22Nothing's ever going to change that.
12:24As far as Odyssey is concerned, he's in the same boat that we were in back in the day.
12:29And I was just hoping that as veterans, we could bring him under the wing the same way that we wish that veterans would have brought us under the wing.
12:34You know what I'm saying?
12:35Yeah, you know what?
12:36You know what?
12:37You're right, you're right.
12:38I'm the problem.
12:39I'll fix it.
12:40How we feeling, fellas?
12:41Yeah, man.
12:42We good?
12:43Yeah.
12:44Let's get it, baby.
12:45Come on, baby.
12:46Let's get it.
12:47Winning time, baby.
12:48Winning time, baby.
12:49Let's get it.
12:50Let's get it.
12:53Tomorrow, it's an accent-packed night.
12:58Wesley, Joe Hendry, Pete Dunne.
13:01With an epic triple threat match.
13:03The winner will face Ethan Page for the NXT title at No Mercy.
13:10And the gauntlet eliminator match.
13:13Who faces Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Championship.
13:17NXT, tomorrow, 8, 7 Central, only on USA.
