00:00But first, Alpha Academy will look to regain some momentum on Main Event, as they take on the powerhouse duo of Kakem and Rezar, the Authors of Pain.
00:10Don't go anywhere, because this colossal showdown is coming up next.
00:17Dog-dog tag team action right here in Wheelhouse.
00:20Well, not exactly, because these guys terrify me.
00:26I'm scared of them a lot, you know.
00:30The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:34Introducing first, accompanied by Paul Ellerin, representing the Final Testament,
00:41at a combined weight of 618 pounds,
00:45Kakem, Rezar, Authors of Pain!
00:55Authors of Pain!
01:00Well, Dog, we've got nearly 600 pounds of force making their way to the ring.
01:03Of course, flanked by another Hall of Famer there, the muscle and reinforcement of the Final Testament.
01:09And of course, the AOP, in their own right, looking to make it four in a row here on Main Event.
01:14Authors of Pain, it's right in the stinkin' name.
01:19Of course, there's Akim, who runs Batatown.
01:24And alongside right there, Rezar, the Albanian Psycho, Paul Ellerin, runs Batatown.
01:31Dog, you ever step in the ring with superstars like this?
01:34Yes. I don't know if you remember a little team called the Road Warriors.
01:40And their opponents, accompanied to the ring by Maxx D, Dooboo, Akira Fazella, and Odin, Alpha Academy!
01:56Well, we're certainly feeling the rush right here.
01:58And, Dog, you talk about turmoil.
02:00What a few months it's been for the Academy.
02:02Shaking Master Gable, attempting to find their own footing and making their own name.
02:07Here they are in all their glory.
02:10And me and the WWE Universe love to see it.
02:14As Otis, of course.
02:16I should have seen the WWE Universe now.
02:18Oh, look at you, grammatically correct over here.
02:20I'm trying to move.
02:21You really have been.
02:22I'm trying to grow up.
02:23You really have been learning, haven't you?
02:25I'm a hardy man.
02:26Taking your French glasses.
02:28Yep.
02:29Grammar.
02:30Coulibou.
02:33As Otis steps on through the ropes.
02:35And, Dog, a couple of weeks ago here on Main Event, we saw the NXT North American champion, Ova Femi.
02:41And earlier that week, he had a test from that man and Otis, which is certainly one of his standout singles matches to date.
02:47Took him to the limit, too.
02:49Almost walked away with that title.
02:52Indeed.
02:53And Otis almost became...
02:54Paul O'Ring almost just fell down the stairs.
02:56He might be coming after you.
02:58He's not.
03:00He might be coming after you.
03:01He's not.
03:02He is looking this way.
03:03Heard you talking about the road warriors.
03:05Look at...
03:06Look at Otis.
03:07Already trying to dance, it seems.
03:09I can't take my eyes off of him.
03:11It's the first time I heard you say that.
03:13Well, you just haven't been around me enough.
03:15As Otis getting things started with a Rezar.
03:176'4", 308 pounds.
03:19The Albanian Psycho in there.
03:21You know, this past Monday, we slapped meat.
03:23That came out wrong.
03:24There was a lot of meat slapping on Monday Night Raw.
03:26There's a lot of...
03:27Or did it come out wrong?
03:28There's a lot of meat in that ring right now.
03:30Indeed, there is.
03:32Listen to these people.
03:33They love it.
03:34Providence certainly sounds like Otis country.
03:40As Rezar locking it up with Otis.
03:42Of course, the AOP, former Raw Tag Team Champions,
03:45former NXT Tag Team Champions.
03:47Of course, the Dusty Cup as well.
03:52Oh!
03:55As Otis.
03:56Look at these two going back and forth.
03:59Oh!
04:00And Otis.
04:01Oh!
04:03It's like that irresistible force meeting the immovable object here, dawg.
04:08Referee Danilo and Vivio getting right in the mix.
04:10I would stay out of their way if I was him.
04:13As Rezar now goes for a big clubbing blow.
04:15Look at the athleticism here of Otis.
04:18And Rezar knocked off of his feet.
04:21Out of his boots almost.
04:23And now here comes the stamina monster.
04:26Tozawa toss for distance.
04:27Oh!
04:28Looks like he grazed Rezar there.
04:30Yeah, Tozawa actually got hurt.
04:32As Tozawa, certainly the smallest competitor in this matchup.
04:34Oh, bless his little heart.
04:36And, dawg, the first we saw in six-man tag team competition,
04:38these two teams competing on opposite sides on Monday Night Raw.
04:41Handful of weeks back there.
04:43How different of a place are all of these teams in right now?
04:45Oh, well, you know what I mean, Rezar.
04:47Off the heels of SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer.
04:51Now we're going to bash at Berlin.
04:53Oh!
04:54These teams are all on fire.
04:55Tozawa beating him.
04:57Running wild all throughout Providence.
04:59Now, that was not a malfunction.
05:01That was meant to be.
05:02Oh!
05:03Oh, bless their hearts.
05:04Right to the outstretched arms of the AOP.
05:07And look at the power right here being displayed on Main Event.
05:13Asserting their dominance all throughout the break.
05:15Power, power.
05:17He fought a man right before we went to break there.
05:23And the authors of pain certainly have been in control ever since there.
05:26And, dawg, you almost feel that chip on their shoulder.
05:28Had they gotten past getting manhandled by 405 pounds of Odyssey Jones?
05:33Oh, my God.
05:34I'm sorry.
05:35I can't get over.
05:36His knee just went through Tozawa.
05:37There we go.
05:38There's a cover.
05:39It was almost a magic act.
05:40Like, he still can't break Tozawa.
05:42So, yeah.
05:43Size disadvantage right here is, again, you have to imagine, dawg,
05:46some of this frustration coming out from the AOP directed right towards
05:49Odyssey Jones and perhaps The New Day.
05:51I want to go back for a second and talk about there was a human being,
05:54a grown man, dove out of the ring.
05:56The other two men caught that man and then threw that man at another man.
06:00Does that happen if you're working at the store?
06:03You know what I mean?
06:04Does that happen at your job?
06:05It may be off camera.
06:06I don't know.
06:07I don't know.
06:08It's crazy stuff here.
06:09Oh!
06:10You never know off the clock what could happen.
06:11But right now on the clock are the authors of pain.
06:13And they're certainly looking to get right back into tag title contention, dawg.
06:16Tozawa just got knocked.
06:18And look at the strike there by the former professional kickboxer.
06:22Oh, and Tozawa, nice ring awareness by the stamina monster.
06:25Well, he was not about to kick that huge thing off of him,
06:27so grabbing the rope was his only chance.
06:29And, of course, you see Paul Ellerin ringside there.
06:31And, dawg, how much of a difference maker has Paul Ellerin really been to the AOP?
06:34Oh, his guidance has really got them to where they're at right now.
06:37And the sky is the limit for this tag team.
06:40Now, I mentioned a large human being a minute ago.
06:43There's another large human being on the other side of the ring
06:45that's chomping at the bit to get in here
06:47and return the favor for his buddy Tozawa.
06:50Otis certainly wants to get back in this matchup.
06:52A few moments ago, we saw Maxime Dupree on the outside,
06:54who, imagine, dawg, you have to imagine her mental recovery.
06:58Not necessarily 100% after that assault by her former close friend Ivy Nile.
07:03Man, Ivy Nile and her were training together and everything.
07:06Like, I did not see that coming.
07:08And I'm sure Maxime didn't either.
07:10Certainly goes back to the turmoil over the last couple of months
07:12for the Alpha Academy here trying to rise through.
07:15But the Authors of Pain right now,
07:17a part of the Final Testament who, again,
07:19have really been asserting themselves as a big part of Monday Night Raw.
07:22Providence, Rhode Island.
07:24They want Otis.
07:26And I gotta be honest, I didn't think I'd ever say these words.
07:29I want Otis.
07:31He's ready to get in the ring.
07:33He wants back in here.
07:35Oh.
07:37And Akam's just toying with him.
07:39And 6'2", 271 pounds of Akam stands between Tozawa and Otis.
07:44Just toying with him.
07:47And these two in the Authors of Pain have won three straight here on Main Event.
07:51Alderman toying with him.
07:53Sorry.
07:54Saw what you did right there.
07:56Not too bad from the roadie.
07:59As Tozawa now, looking to get that tag in.
08:02Not today.
08:03Otis chomping at the bit.
08:05Oh!
08:06A misstatement of answer gets free!
08:08Speaking of free, it's time to free Otis!
08:13Let him loose, dawg!
08:15These gentlemen are going to be free of consciousness here shortly.
08:18It's a spinning back fist party.
08:22I do not want to be invited.
08:24And Otis!
08:25He's taking it to him.
08:26Uh-oh.
08:29What you gonna do?
08:31Here he comes.
08:32Go ahead.
08:33He's feeling it.
08:39Had to wind it up a little bit.
08:40New version of the Humpty Hump.
08:42Wow!
08:43Here we go!
08:44And the pigman!
08:45Oh, driving it home!
08:48Into the cover!
08:49Uno!
08:50Dos!
08:51Oh!
08:52And Reza!
08:53I thought that was it.
08:54Tozawa, bless his heart.
08:56These two teams jockeying for victory.
08:58Trying to climb the ranks.
09:00Oh, that flying part's fine.
09:01It's that landing that hurts.
09:02Of that Raw Tag Team roster looking to get a piece of the judgment.
09:05Look at Paul Ellerin going for the swipe.
09:07Otis too quick, though!
09:08Wow!
09:10Oh!
09:12Wow!
09:13Akam snaps off the DDT.
09:15And here comes the tag back into Rezar.
09:18That planted Otis.
09:20Into position.
09:21And it's the list!
09:23Chapter!
09:25And the AOP!
09:26Nobody.
09:27Writes their story!
09:31Here are your winners,
09:33Authors of Pain!
09:38And a Paul Ellerin-guided victory there, dawg,
09:40as the AOP dig deep into their playbook.
09:43Busting out the last chapter.
09:45We have not necessarily seen that since the Raw Tag Team Champion days.
09:49As Otis gets flattened.
09:54And of course, all Maxine and Tozawa can do is look on in concern
09:57as Paul Ellerin leads Akam and Rezar to victory
10:00as the Final Testament continues their run of dominance
10:03on the Monday Night Raw roster.
