00:00:00You want to know what the most passionate, extreme WWE fans look like, sound like, act like?
00:00:08Look no further than Philly.
00:00:10Tonight, a packed Wells Fargo Center is home to Monday Night Raw.
00:00:17And we have the much-anticipated rematch.
00:00:20It's the fan-treasured Intercontinental Champion, Jey Uso.
00:00:25For the second time in a couple weeks, he's putting the Intercontinental title on the line.
00:00:29The badass is determined to get it back.
00:00:32Ron Breaker has been super-spearing everything in sight.
00:00:36It's Jey in that history-rich belt that he's targeting.
00:00:41And we're getting closer to deciding things.
00:00:46Triple H revealed it. It has quickly become one of the most prized possessions.
00:00:50The over-the-top, incredibly plain, crown jewel championship belt is here.
00:00:55Cody and Dunst will battle for it. Nia and Liv will clash for it.
00:01:03American Made with Julius and Brutus will be in action.
00:01:08Number one tag team contenders tournament is on the line.
00:01:12Well, they've conquered bitter rivals and now focused on fresh ones.
00:01:17The Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, is teaming with the dynamic young star he mentors, Dragon Lee.
00:01:23The high-flying duo trying to make it to the tourney finals.
00:01:29Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you, 12 days away from things in Saudi.
00:01:34But right now, Big Bronson Reed is arriving at the arena.
00:01:40Seth Rollins! Seth freakin' Rollins!
00:01:43Seth freakin' Rollins!
00:01:51The security is separating them.
00:01:57Remember, it was August 6th that it all started. Six tsunamis.
00:02:00And Seth Rollins was out of action.
00:02:03Seth freakin' Rollins is headed our way!
00:02:07He returned on September 30th and stomped Reed's head in the steel set.
00:02:13And now with this intensity, here he comes.
00:02:21Wasting no time, taking over Raw immediately.
00:02:24Cut it! Cut it!
00:02:28Billy, let's get crazy! Right here, right now!
00:02:32Bronson Reed, you want to be famous, big boy?
00:02:37I'll make your ass famous!
00:02:39Get out of here and let's fight!
00:02:44He's asking for Big Bronson Reed immediately, Wade.
00:02:48Bronson Reed just got laid out.
00:02:50And here's General Monica Allen Pierce, the 12-
00:02:53Oh, man!
00:02:55Security guard just went flying!
00:02:59And Reed just plowing through security on his way to the ring.
00:03:03Just give up while you can, security!
00:03:06Go get him! Go get him!
00:03:09Look at what happened at the capital of the last Monster Standing match.
00:03:13Here goes Seth flying at him!
00:03:17The highly enraged Seth freakin' Rollins,
00:03:20who has been desperate for a piece of payback for months now
00:03:25against the man who put himself on the map at Seth Rollins' expense,
00:03:30Bronson Reed.
00:03:33Security now in the ring.
00:03:34Adam Pierce has ordered them to be separated,
00:03:37and finally they're able to do that.
00:03:39Well, hats off to the security crew.
00:03:41They've already been flattened once.
00:03:43They're coming back-
00:03:44Oh, no!
00:03:45Headbutt and two elbows, and now the coast is clear!
00:03:50Big boot!
00:03:53Death Valley Driver!
00:03:56Six tsunamis ago-
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:03:58Look what's coming, Joe!
00:03:59Look what's coming, Joe!
00:04:02It's an instant replay-
00:04:04Oh, and that's smart enough of Seth Rollins,
00:04:06just to roll out of the ring.
00:04:07Well, he had to.
00:04:08He's about to spend a couple of months on the shelf,
00:04:11but Bronson Reed refusing to stop it.
00:04:15He's coming our way.
00:04:16Oh, God.
00:04:17Oh, man.
00:04:18330 pounds just blasted him to the floor
00:04:22as Rollins trying to get to his feet.
00:04:27The security trying to get on top of this again.
00:04:29Security have no chance here.
00:04:32Seth freaking Rollins for all his freakish abilities.
00:04:35He just cannot stop-
00:04:36He's not going to go up top.
00:04:38Bronson Reed!
00:04:39Oh, there's the security guard.
00:04:41He's on top of him!
00:04:42Oh, my God.
00:04:43What is he going to do to this poor man?
00:04:47Oh, Rollins is in a compromised position.
00:04:50Get ready for it, Joe.
00:04:51It's coming-
00:04:52No!
00:04:53No!
00:04:57At the last second,
00:04:59Rollins escapes harm.
00:05:03The announced desk is-
00:05:06Back Rollins-
00:05:09This-
00:05:10Madness-
00:05:11Opens up-
00:05:12Raw in Philly.
00:05:15Bronson Reed's signature brand of carnage
00:05:20kicks off the show once again
00:05:22but now it seems like Seth freaking Rollins
00:05:26got the best of it
00:05:27but Bronson Reed already back on his feet.
00:05:33This is absolutely outrageous.
00:05:39Bronson Reed has become
00:05:41a major, major problem
00:05:44for everybody but for Seth Rollins
00:05:46and keep in mind the injuries that Seth has endured
00:05:48going all the way back to WrestleMania
00:05:50and then what happened in August
00:05:51and now this chaos.
00:05:53Just broke the record for the fastest destruction
00:05:55of our desk, Joe.
00:05:57Oh, my God.
00:05:58And now the focus, obviously,
00:06:00is one of the biggest stars generationally
00:06:02in Seth Rollins but-
00:06:04You try and be ready for everything
00:06:05but take another look back
00:06:07at what just happened.
00:06:08This attempted tsunami from Bronson Reed.
00:06:11Seth Rollins, by the skin of his teeth,
00:06:13getting away,
00:06:14leaving Bronson Reed down,
00:06:16albeit temporarily.
00:06:19You have to think that is absolutely
00:06:21not the end of it for these two.
00:06:23And it's not the first time
00:06:24that we have seen him do that
00:06:26but at the split second,
00:06:28Rollins gets out of the way.
00:06:29Now, let's focus in on some of the recent happenings
00:06:31going on with the women's tag titles.
00:06:33Yeah, well, let's take you back to
00:06:35one week ago on Monday Night Raw.
00:06:38Now, this was the tag champs, Belair and Cargill
00:06:42as they were doing battle
00:06:44for the tag championships against Damage Control.
00:06:47Now, at ringside, Lash Legend
00:06:50and Jakara Jackson got into the verbals
00:06:53with Io Sky, a cheap shot
00:06:56and one KOD later.
00:06:59Here comes the pin.
00:07:00Successful defense
00:07:02for Belair and Cargill.
00:07:03You have to think this one's going to run.
00:07:05Let's go to Jackie Redman.
00:07:08Guys, thank you so much.
00:07:09Ladies, tomorrow night on NXT,
00:07:11you'll have a match against Lash Legend
00:07:13and Jakara Jackson who arguably cost you
00:07:15the women's tag team championships.
00:07:17Is there anything you want to say to them
00:07:20before tomorrow night?
00:07:21Lash and Jakara are just in the way.
00:07:24We are not done with Jade and Bianca.
00:07:26And soon, we will be women's tag team champions.
00:07:30And so...
00:07:31Hi! Sorry, not sorry.
00:07:32But this interview is over because
00:07:33I like to talk about what Nia Jax said to me last week.
00:07:35Jackie, that means you can respectfully go.
00:07:37Thank you. Bye.
00:07:42Nia, if you're watching this,
00:07:44which I know you are,
00:07:45I know you only came to my show last week
00:07:48because you're just jealous of me.
00:07:50You're jealous of me because I have it all.
00:07:52I have the Women's World Championship.
00:07:54I have Daddy Dom.
00:07:55I have the Judgment Day.
00:07:56I have Raquel Rodriguez.
00:07:57And after I beat you at Crown Jewel,
00:07:59I'm going to have the Crown Jewel Championship, too.
00:08:01Wait, wait, wait!
00:08:02Oh, I forgot you guys are here.
00:08:03This is our interview.
00:08:06I don't care.
00:08:07Go home.
00:08:08No, I don't care.
00:08:09Go home.
00:08:10Go home.
00:08:11Why are you smiling?
00:08:13Why are you smiling?
00:08:14Oh, I know why you guys are mad.
00:08:15You guys are talking about the tag team titles, right?
00:08:18You know Raquel and I used to be the tag team champions
00:08:20before Rhea cost us the titles.
00:08:22You know what that means?
00:08:23That means we could be tag team champions again
00:08:25any time we want.
00:08:27You're underestimating us!
00:08:30We could fight then.
00:08:32Or we could fight tonight!
00:08:35Tonight!
00:08:36Tonight!
00:08:37Tonight!
00:08:39You want to fight tonight?
00:08:42Okay.
00:08:43Let's go.
00:08:50Liv and Raquel, damage control tonight.
00:08:52Why not?
00:08:53Love that.
00:08:55And this crowd loves them.
00:08:57A month ago, the New Day challenged for the world tag titles.
00:09:01They could work themselves right back into that position.
00:09:05Remember Xavier Woods told Kofi Kingston
00:09:07after their failed title attempt,
00:09:09something has to change.
00:09:11That could happen in moments for New Day.
00:09:16Tensions have been abound for the past couple of months.
00:09:19It's not been a great two weeks for the New Day,
00:09:22but they are presenting a united front,
00:09:24and they get an opportunity to progress
00:09:27towards the number one contendership
00:09:29for the Judgment Days Tag Championships.
00:09:31They're in action next against the monstrous A.O.P.
00:09:35live here on Raw.
00:09:45You walked into the biggest lottery of your entire life two weeks ago
00:09:49and you beat me for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:09:52I march down to the ring.
00:09:54I shake your hand and tell you congratulations
00:09:57out of respect.
00:09:59And what do you do?
00:10:01You throw it back in my face,
00:10:04as if I'm not going to see it.
00:10:10See, we're not the same.
00:10:12You want to do it on your own, G?
00:10:14You want to do it on your own,
00:10:16but you're going to take this ass-kicking on your own, too.
00:10:21I have been on this roster for 14 years,
00:10:24winning championships while you were in diapers, boy.
00:10:29We don't need no medicine.
00:10:31We throw hands for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:34I'm a dog walking away.
00:10:36You are nothing without your family.
00:10:40I'm coming back for my Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:44We're going to see what you're about.
00:10:46We're going to see what you're made of, G.
00:10:48The time has come, this is it.
00:10:52This is the rematch we've all been waiting for,
00:10:55Intercontinental Championship on the line,
00:10:58as main event, Jey Uso,
00:11:00defends against the former champ,
00:11:02the badass Brawn Breaker,
00:11:04that is later tonight in Raw's main event.
00:11:07By the way, Jey, 4-0 in his last four matches here in Philly.
00:11:10Hey, today veteran ring announcer, Samantha Ervin,
00:11:12announced that she's moving on to new challenges.
00:11:14Everybody here wishes her all the best.
00:11:16Cannot thank her enough for the incredible memories,
00:11:18and what a thrill it is to welcome back
00:11:21long-time star ring announcer,
00:11:24Lillian Garcia Wade.
00:11:28The following is a first-round match
00:11:31in the World Tag Team Championship
00:11:34number one containers tournament.
00:11:40Introducing first, the team of
00:11:43Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston,
00:11:47The New Day.
00:11:52Man, that felt good here.
00:11:54Lillian Garcia here on Raw once again.
00:12:03Well, the good feelings are evaporating.
00:12:06Yes, they are.
00:12:08Because The New Day now facing a time-tested team
00:12:11that's also trying to recap the form.
00:12:16And their opponent, representing Final Testament,
00:12:20Acom and Rizar,
00:12:22the Authors of Pain.
00:12:266'3", 285 is Acom, 6'4", 330 is Rizar.
00:12:30Of course, the male with the silver tongue
00:12:32carrying the cross leading the way
00:12:34is Scarlett Hall-Ellering.
00:12:36So this is how we get going with the World Tag Team Championship
00:12:38number one contenders tournament.
00:12:40Yes, so to be clear, the War Raiders
00:12:42have already qualified for next week's
00:12:44Dribble Threat Final.
00:12:46Two more teams will join them in that match.
00:12:49That match is going to take place next week.
00:12:52One of these teams is in the ring right now
00:12:55and there will be another tag match later on tonight
00:12:58to decide the third team.
00:13:00The winners of the Dribble Threat next week
00:13:02will get to face Judgment Day.
00:13:04That's right. Remember what was said recently
00:13:06about Judgment Day and somewhat inactivity
00:13:08in terms of defending the belts?
00:13:10Well, this is the solution to that
00:13:12that Gentleman Adam Pearce put forth.
00:13:15I love these number one contender tournaments
00:13:18because literally every tag team
00:13:20in the locker room claims they deserve opportunity.
00:13:23That's fine. Big talk.
00:13:25Now go out there and prove it.
00:13:32I mean, you have to get straight on top of A.O.P.
00:13:35If you give them an inch, you haven't got a chance.
00:13:37You've got to hit them hard, you've got to hit them fast
00:13:39and hope somehow you can keep them down.
00:13:41Easier said than done.
00:13:44Down!
00:13:46Acom one-half of the offense.
00:13:50This is a fast start.
00:13:52Right away with the big elbow comes Xavier Woods,
00:13:54hooks the leg.
00:13:56This has been absolute peak new day
00:13:58from the off in this matchup.
00:14:00But poor Acom hasn't been able to get
00:14:02a modicum of offense in thus far.
00:14:05New day for all the tension and issues
00:14:07they've had in recent weeks and months.
00:14:09Looking back to their best right now.
00:14:11Of course, Xavier Woods recently challenged
00:14:13for the Intercontinental Championship,
00:14:15something that Kofi himself pushed for.
00:14:18Kofi was up against Bron Breaker most recently
00:14:21as he comes down hard on that left arm of Acom.
00:14:24Breaker simply has not looked himself
00:14:26in the early goings of this one.
00:14:28Desperately needs that tag to result on the outside.
00:14:31But smartly, the veteran Kofi Kingston not allowing it.
00:14:36Driving him back into that corner.
00:14:38And big chop from Kofi.
00:14:42Two teams here are both multiple-time tag team champions
00:14:46here in WWE, of course, and New Day,
00:14:49perhaps the greatest of all time, arguably.
00:14:52Of course, the Usos would claim that moniker.
00:14:56Axe handle from Woods.
00:14:58Really working that left arm significantly early on,
00:15:01aren't they, Wade?
00:15:02That's been superb.
00:15:03Absolute textbook offense from New Day.
00:15:05But that is the threat that Acom carries
00:15:10despite the offense he's absorbed still swinging.
00:15:14Showing power and getting out of position.
00:15:17He's carrying cross.
00:15:20He's been in the ear of both these men in recent months.
00:15:27You can see the pain that Woods was able to endure.
00:15:33Wait a second.
00:15:34The Miz has come out sitting on the edge of the announce table.
00:15:38Karrion Kross likes what he's seeing.
00:15:40Who will take the next place in this tournament, in this matchup?
00:15:48Back here in Philly, World Tag Team Championship,
00:15:51number one contenders turning.
00:15:52New Day versus Authors of Pain.
00:15:53But what you see, this human wall,
00:15:55you want to appear at our announce table.
00:15:57This is the intrigue as the Miz has come out.
00:16:00He's flanked by Scarlett, Karrion Kross.
00:16:02Kross came over, Wade said, nice to see you.
00:16:04Now remember, Kross was in his ear recently
00:16:06when the final testament served up our truth to him.
00:16:09And he hit him with a skull crushing finale.
00:16:11What is going on in front of us here?
00:16:13It's been no secret whatsoever that Karrion Kross
00:16:15has clearly been trying to woo the Miz now for a couple of months.
00:16:19It seems like he has pierced the mind of Miz in recent weeks.
00:16:23And perhaps Miz,
00:16:25Xavier Woods desperate to get the tag on Kofi Kingston.
00:16:28But Rezar pulls him back.
00:16:30And now Woods does find Kofi.
00:16:32The last thing Rezar needed was a fresh Kofi Kingston
00:16:36bouncing around that ring.
00:16:39Big drop kick.
00:16:43Opportunity to find their way into the finals
00:16:46and earn a shot at Judgment Day.
00:16:48Suddenly the glad handing of Karrion Kross
00:16:51and Scarlett with the Miz has turned into panic.
00:16:56And one for Akam.
00:16:58Number one position for the tag titles on the line here
00:17:02as Woods goes flying.
00:17:06You see the sheer power of Rezar
00:17:09and the kick.
00:17:10Great athleticism by Kofi.
00:17:12No much more terrifying than facing AOP.
00:17:15But the New Day have fought the biggest and best
00:17:19over the past 10 years of beating them all.
00:17:22Boom drop Kofi Kingston.
00:17:28He sensed that momentum.
00:17:30The New Day trying to work their way back into position
00:17:34to fight for the Tag Team World Championships.
00:17:39Oh, he was looking for trouble in paradise instead
00:17:42into the grasp of Rezar.
00:17:44The raw power from the massive Albanian.
00:17:48Simply no way to counter that for Kofi Kingston.
00:17:52As the Miz looks up.
00:17:53Oh, there's a kick!
00:17:54Kofi Kingston.
00:17:55As the Miz looks up.
00:17:56Oh, there's R-Truth!
00:17:58R-Truth came out to attack his former partner.
00:18:03Well, it was R-Truth who was cheap shotted by the Miz
00:18:06last week post-match.
00:18:08Now coming for a little payback.
00:18:10Oh, there's a roll up in the ring!
00:18:12A roll up for the New Day!
00:18:14And they advance!
00:18:17With R-Truth outside the ring.
00:18:19Here are your winners, the New Day!
00:18:23Kofi Kingston takes advantage inside the ring.
00:18:26And that is how they'll advance in this tournament.
00:18:28Give a valuable assist there to R-Truth.
00:18:31Taking out Miz on the outside.
00:18:33That chaos, that bedlam caught the eye of Rezar in ring.
00:18:37It was caught napping by the ever so smart Kofi Kingston.
00:18:41They progress.
00:18:42They join the War Raiders in next week's Triple Threat Match.
00:18:46As well as one other team that will be decided later on tonight.
00:18:50R-Truth.
00:18:52After weeks of control.
00:18:53Oh, he's not in a good spot now.
00:18:56And now Miz is on top of him.
00:18:59Arthur's a painter on top of him because they cost him.
00:19:02Kofi Kingston wants to come back and help.
00:19:05Xavier Woods is saying,
00:19:06Hell no, that's not our problem.
00:19:08He's holding him back.
00:19:09As you can see, Kofi's saying,
00:19:10We have to help R-Truth.
00:19:12Why does Xavier Woods have to put his body on the line?
00:19:15R-Truth is in a very tough spot.
00:19:17Surrounded by the final testament.
00:19:19As Karrion Ross just blasts.
00:19:21Looking back at the new day.
00:19:43The lion's six are back.
00:19:45Oh my god, it's the mentalist Nikki Cross.
00:19:49And she's off the top rope on Scarlett.
00:19:51And now they're falling everywhere.
00:19:53Dexter Loomis, Rowan, Joe Gacy attacking the final testament.
00:20:00Laying out everybody.
00:20:02Saving the day for R-Truth.
00:20:06Look at Miz.
00:20:09Getting out of everybody's way.
00:20:12Bodies are laid out everywhere, Wade.
00:20:19Gacy and Loomis and Rowan.
00:20:22Sending the authors of pain over the barrier into timekeeper.
00:20:27Where the hell are these guys playing at?
00:20:30Here's their combo.
00:20:31Powerbomb that takes both men out.
00:20:34Incompetent Razaar taking out the timekeeper.
00:20:36Nobody has ever treated the final testament like this.
00:20:40And the brawl continues.
00:20:42It is going on through Wells Fargo Center here in Philly.
00:20:46Out of nowhere, the lion's six arrived.
00:20:50And The Miz saved himself.
00:20:53The Miz saved himself.
00:20:55He didn't get away.
00:20:58Uncle Howdy pulled Ellering.
00:21:00Looking to save The Miz.
00:21:02And a mandible claw on Ellering.
00:21:17The lion's six doing as they please.
00:21:21Uncle Howdy taking out Paul Ellering with a mandible claw.
00:21:35Welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
00:21:37I'm backstage with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.
00:21:39Adam, yet another chaotic start on a Monday night.
00:21:43How do you plan to get things under control here?
00:21:46That's a great question.
00:21:47Never mind.
00:21:59Bronson Reed just refuses to stay down at these two.
00:22:04You're going to need a chaser to separate him at this one.
00:22:08Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins brawling backstage.
00:22:13After they were brawling in and out of the ring.
00:22:15Raw in Philly.
00:22:16WrestleMania 40, of course, was across the street from where we are.
00:22:19Where Cody took the Undisputed Championship.
00:22:21Busy sports week here.
00:22:22Flyers, NHL action.
00:22:24We'll be against the Capitals tomorrow.
00:22:2676ers against the Bucks on Wednesday.
00:22:28And, of course, this Monday Night Raw that just saw the lion's six back in action.
00:22:35What a chaotic night it has been already.
00:22:37Just as the final testament.
00:22:40We're looking to wreck our troop.
00:22:42The Wyatt Six show up out of nowhere.
00:22:44And the brawl ensued.
00:22:47Haymakers, bombs getting dropped left, right, and center.
00:22:51The brawl went everywhere.
00:22:53It looked at one point like the majority of the final testament had been taken out.
00:22:59Escorted rather abruptly out of the arena by the Wyatt Six.
00:23:04Leaving one man, it seems, stood in the ring.
00:23:07The Miz, a petrified face.
00:23:09Thought he'd got away with it.
00:23:10Oh, whoa.
00:23:11Here comes Uncle Howdy.
00:23:13Mandible claw just when Paul Ellering arrived to shield Miz out the way.
00:23:18Poor, precious Paul Ellering taken out by Uncle Howdy later to be carried out of this arena.
00:23:27And I'll tell you this, Joe.
00:23:28It has been bedlam, mayhem, and chaos from the off here on Raw.
00:23:33We keep learning more and more about the Wyatt Six.
00:23:35The one thing, though, we know is when they lock it in a target, they seemingly take care of business.
00:23:40And right now, they're locked in on a final testament.
00:23:42Tonight, Jake Russo defends his Intercontinental Championship against Braun Breaker.
00:23:46But based on this past Friday, there's some serious family issues that are also getting his attention.
00:23:51Real falling down in this group.
00:23:54These beatdowns will continue to happen to Roman Reigns unless he comes down to the ring and acknowledges me.
00:24:02Ooze!
00:24:09Jimmy and Roman not here yet, so I came out here to talk to you, Ooze the Ooze.
00:24:14I left the family, Ooze.
00:24:16I left to be my own man.
00:24:18Man, I became the Intercontinental Champion, little brother.
00:24:23I'm your tribal chief now.
00:24:25And I'll always have a place for you and Roman in my bloodline.
00:24:30But all you have to do is acknowledge me.
00:24:33Why'd you have to go get them, Ooze?
00:24:35Tama? Tonga?
00:24:37Why'd you have to go get Jacob?
00:24:39There's a reason why we stayed away from him!
00:24:41And if you keep staring at me like that, I'm gonna knock your ass out!
00:24:47Next time I see you, Ooze, it's gonna be different.
00:24:50Yeez.
00:25:01I'm proud of you.
00:25:05We all are.
00:25:11And no yeez.
00:25:31What went down on Friday night?
00:25:33Yeah, Cathy, ironically, I'm in a city of brotherly love and got no love for my brothers right now.
00:25:37Ain't that so?
00:25:39But I said what I said to the bloodline on Friday.
00:25:43It is what it is, right?
00:25:45But tonight, it's about this right here on my shoulder, Cathy.
00:25:48You know what I'm saying?
00:25:49Jey Uso, Braun Breaker Round 2.
00:25:52I promise, though, by the end of the night, the people will hear.
00:25:55And still, your Intercontinental Champion Main Event, Jey Uso!
00:26:09Yeez.
00:26:15Rhea Ripley says her business won't end with the Judgment Day until she gets her Women's World Championship back.
00:26:22Mamita, as long as I'm around, eso nunca va a pasar.
00:26:27That's never going to happen.
00:26:30Costing you the title at Bad Blood was just a warning, chiquita.
00:26:36Don't think I've forgotten what you did to Liv when you tore her shoulder apart and took her out for six months.
00:26:43And I also haven't forgotten what you did to Liv and myself when you cost us the Women's Tag Team titles.
00:26:53Rhea, chiquita, the only reason you rose to the top is because I was gone.
00:26:59And I'm back now.
00:27:01And the smartest thing for you to do is walk away.
00:27:05But we all know you're not going to do that.
00:27:07So since you won't end this, I will.
00:27:17Look at that. There it is.
00:27:19Literally getting the white glove treatment as the brand new Crown Jewel Championship belt has been brought to the ring.
00:27:26Liv Morgan herself will be in action.
00:27:28She's over a week away from battling for that against Nia Jax.
00:27:38The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:27:42Introducing first, the team of Kairi Sane and Io Sky.
00:27:48Damage Control!
00:27:51Damage Control has been on top of their game lately.
00:27:53Io and Kairi came up short a week ago.
00:27:55That highly contested match for the tag titles against Jade Bianca.
00:27:58Incredibly unhappy about that loss last week and the loss of opportunity for the girls.
00:28:05Now is a night to get back to winning ways.
00:28:08Easier said than done, however, against the champ, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
00:28:14Well, Damage Control up against it tonight.
00:28:18Can they get back on top?
00:28:20We'll find out next here on RAW.
00:28:28Back here in Philly, Kairi Sane and Io Sky.
00:28:32Kairi Sane and Io Sky.
00:28:34Seeing a two-time tag champion, although it's Damage Control pairing with Io Sky.
00:28:38They've never won the titles together.
00:28:40Look who's here waiting.
00:28:42The troublemakers from last week.
00:28:44Dakara Jackson and Last Legend from NXT.
00:28:47They've been crossing over on every single brand.
00:28:50Now they cost Damage Control their championship opportunity.
00:28:54Last week, they will be competing against Damage Control tomorrow night on NXT.
00:29:00Only here just for some last-minute scouting and nothing else.
00:29:04And give credit to Last Legend.
00:29:06Oh, wow.
00:29:08That was impressive.
00:29:10Incredibly impressive stuff from the powerhouse Last Legend.
00:29:14Speaking of powerhouses.
00:29:16Liv Morgan.
00:29:18And their opponents being accompanied by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:29:22The team of Raquel Rodriguez.
00:29:26And the women's world champion, Liv Morgan.
00:29:33The powerful Raquel Rodriguez and her stunning recent return now by the side of Liv Morgan.
00:29:38The announcement was accompanied by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:29:42I am saddened to say that I can't quite see him at this point.
00:29:49And of course, on November 2nd, it'll be Liv Morgan and Nia Jax
00:29:54for the title of Crown Jewel Champion.
00:29:59And the new belt with over 3,300 stones embedded in it.
00:30:06In terms of pure monetary value, those Crown Jewel Championships
00:30:11are the highest in this industry's history.
00:30:14Let alone add to that, of course, the bragging rights
00:30:18for being the first ever men's and women's Crown Jewel Champion.
00:30:22The absolute top of the industry.
00:30:26So while this tag match is a massive showdown among elites.
00:30:30For Liv, she has her eyes on that prize that is sitting ringside.
00:30:35November 2nd in Riyadh.
00:30:37The incredible Crown Jewel Diamond Ever Jewel Study Belt.
00:30:41Liv Morgan has her eyes on a lot of prizes right now.
00:30:44Even trying to focus on the women's tag championships.
00:30:47And putting away damage control tonight.
00:30:49Making them one step closer to a tag title opportunity
00:30:53against Belair and Cargill.
00:30:55As Io Sky stops it in her tracks.
00:30:58As the statuesque Raquel steps up to combat.
00:31:03Raquel Rodriguez.
00:31:04Io Sky tries to take the fight right to her.
00:31:10The high flying technical skills of Io Sky may not work
00:31:14against someone so big and powerful as Raquel.
00:31:19Of course, Raquel shocked the world in Atlanta.
00:31:24She came out.
00:31:26As Rio was trying to get the women's championship belt back.
00:31:29But Raquel interrupted those plans.
00:31:32Raquel and Io Sky have a hell of a lot of history together.
00:31:35Raquel actually beat Io Sky for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:31:39Once upon a time, one of the greatest reigns in history
00:31:42from Io Sky ended by the powerful Raquel.
00:31:46Sane and Sky doubling up with the drop kicks.
00:31:53Kairi Lin is awkward the way she was hanging over there with her leg.
00:31:57Somehow got away with it.
00:31:59Did Kairi Sane speak volumes to her athleticism?
00:32:02Turn around Raquel.
00:32:03From the top rope, Raquel able to get out of the way.
00:32:09Now trying to chase down Kairi Sane.
00:32:12Unique offense there from Kairi Sane.
00:32:14Rapidly getting over to tag in Io Sky.
00:32:17Now it's double trouble.
00:32:18This is when they are at their best.
00:32:22This is what you have to do against someone as strong as Raquel.
00:32:25Keep her guessing.
00:32:27Try and double team her, but even that might not be enough.
00:32:31Look at the power of Rodriguez.
00:32:36They're able to slip out of it.
00:32:38Sometimes when you're so big and so strong, you can get overconfident.
00:32:43And that is what happened to Raquel there.
00:32:45Big forearm from Kairi.
00:32:48And now the cover.
00:32:49And quickly Raquel able to kick out.
00:32:51That's nice.
00:32:52Liv Morgan teaming up once again with Raquel Rodriguez.
00:32:58A lot of problems surrounding Liv Morgan at the moment.
00:33:01It seems every woman on the roster wants a piece of Liv.
00:33:03Well, you need protection in a situation like that.
00:33:07What a big right hand in the clothesline comes powering in.
00:33:10Baseball back style to the jaws of Io Sky and Kairi Sane.
00:33:15Who have barely moved ever since.
00:33:17Liv Morgan incredibly happy.
00:33:20November 2nd.
00:33:21That's what she's gunning for.
00:33:30A week ago we saw Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in against the odd coupling of Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton.
00:33:37And now tonight in action against Sane and Sky.
00:33:40Damage control.
00:33:42Raquel Rodriguez is in control.
00:33:45Doing the best that Kairi Sane right now.
00:33:47Torturous hold there on Kairi Sane.
00:33:50Raquel has looked as dominant and ruthless as ever since returning here.
00:33:55And Kikara and Les Legend not looking too impressed right now with damage control.
00:34:01Ahead of their match with damage control tomorrow night on NXT.
00:34:06It'll be an interesting matchup.
00:34:07We'll see what is taken out of damage control here tonight.
00:34:10Of course the veterans looking to come up with a big win against the former women's tag champions.
00:34:17Spinning back elbow there from Kairi Sane.
00:34:19Rocking Raquel and managing to get her tied to Io Sky.
00:34:24Io Sky, big surge of offense.
00:34:31Sky of course rapidly looking to get herself.
00:34:34And Kairi Sane another opportunity at Belair and Cargill's tag goal.
00:34:38And a victory here would certainly do them some good.
00:34:43Able to catch that boot from Raquel.
00:34:46And work that leg with a nasty dragon screw to the right knee of Raquel.
00:34:51That is one way to keep the powerhouse down.
00:34:54Things looking good now for damage control.
00:34:58Missile drop kick lands on Liv.
00:35:01And Liv desperate to get herself to safety.
00:35:08This place coming unglued.
00:35:10Meteora from Sky.
00:35:12Genius of the Sky.
00:35:15Hooks the leg of Liv Morgan.
00:35:18And the kick out at two weight.
00:35:20Why she has one of the most stellar reputations in the entire industry.
00:35:28And they can sense the momentum.
00:35:31They feel.
00:35:33They can take this thing in for a nice landing and control the action.
00:35:41And the kick out at two weight.
00:35:43They can take this thing in for a nice landing and control the action.
00:35:49And the elbow.
00:35:50Pop up elbow from Kairi Sane.
00:35:56And Rodriguez comes in to save things.
00:35:59Just in the nick of time.
00:36:00A gingerly moving Raquel there.
00:36:03After this attempt at an insane elbow.
00:36:07Didn't quite land as planned.
00:36:09But it was highly effective all the same.
00:36:12But now Raquel with a second win.
00:36:16Oh the shoulder into the post.
00:36:18Desperate move there from Kairi Sane.
00:36:21Diving out of the way at the last second.
00:36:23Saving herself in the process.
00:36:25And now perhaps it's all down to Liv Morgan to win this for her team.
00:36:29Big turnaround the running knee.
00:36:32Liv Morgan.
00:36:34Takes advantage.
00:36:37Sauté uppercut from an elevated Liv Morgan who was rocked.
00:36:45Smart champion instincts there from Liv Morgan.
00:36:48Oh!
00:36:49Missile drop kick sends her into the barrier.
00:36:52Straight to the kisser and somebody needs to check.
00:36:55Look at this.
00:36:57Can't help herself.
00:36:58And Lash Legend sends a big right hand.
00:37:01And the bell rings.
00:37:03As the interference comes from Jakara Lash Legend.
00:37:06Only a matter of time.
00:37:08You guessed that Lash and Jakara would somehow get involved with a cheap shot.
00:37:12It happened.
00:37:13And now Kairi Sane coming to the aid of Io Sky.
00:37:17Now you're getting a preview of what you'll see on NXT at the CW.
00:37:21All of a sudden they couldn't resist.
00:37:23Sane and Sky on the attack of Lash Legend and Jakara.
00:37:27They're gonna go at it tomorrow on NXT.
00:37:29But with that brawl on the outside, it disrupts the action against Liv and Raquel.
00:37:33I would behoove both teams to soften up.
00:37:36Their opponents are ahead of tomorrow.
00:37:38But if anyone's getting softened up here, it's clearly damage control.
00:37:45Shoulder rush from Jakara Jackson.
00:37:48And a Lash extension on the other side, Wade.
00:37:51Just like she did against Piper Niven on Friday night.
00:37:55Jakara and Lash Legend.
00:37:57Enter the fray and clean things up.
00:38:01But it puts an end to what was a compelling match.
00:38:06And now Liv and Raquel face to face.
00:38:12Look at Liv's face.
00:38:16The all too familiar music.
00:38:20Of Rhea Ripley.
00:38:21There are a lot of bullseyes on the back of Liv Morgan.
00:38:28But this woman, Rhea Ripley, is the biggest of them all.
00:38:33Raquel says, I've got you. Don't you worry.
00:38:37This is exactly why Liv Morgan brought in Raquel Rodriguez.
00:38:42For protection from Rhea Ripley.
00:38:46Smashes that head straight in.
00:38:48Just eats that headbutt from Rhea Ripley and stays standing.
00:38:51What an absolute freak Raquel Rodriguez.
00:38:55Rhea pulls down that top rope.
00:38:57And now she smiles saying, you're left with me.
00:39:00Liv goes running.
00:39:02She's got her by the hair.
00:39:04Oh no.
00:39:07Just rag-dolling Liv Morgan.
00:39:13Big knee.
00:39:14What a knee from Rhea.
00:39:16This is a defenseless Liv Morgan.
00:39:19Who is about to get tortured in the ring.
00:39:22Oh my God.
00:39:24Prison trap.
00:39:29Liv Morgan in sheer agony.
00:39:31Raquel doing her best to even the odds.
00:39:34But it may be impossible against a woman like Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:39:39You know how upset Rhea is with what happened at Bad Blood.
00:39:42Her chance to get her championship back.
00:39:46And it was interrupted by Raquel.
00:39:51Liv trying to get that arm.
00:39:53And another big blast with the headbutt from Rhea.
00:39:58Everything you throw at Rhea Ripley just bounces off.
00:40:03Of the piece de resistance.
00:40:05Riptide.
00:40:06No dirty job from out of nowhere.
00:40:08Latino cheat is here to save the day.
00:40:12And she's got her former guy in the ring.
00:40:17Is she winding up a prison trap on Dom?
00:40:20And locking it in.
00:40:24Dom is caught up in the prison trap.
00:40:27Dom put his body on the line to save the damsel in distress.
00:40:32That is Liv Morgan and she returns the favor.
00:40:35That is true love.
00:40:38It took all three of them to deal with an enraged Rhea Ripley.
00:40:44Rhea Ripley still stands tall.
00:40:47And is still laughing.
00:40:59I know this doesn't end until you make it.
00:41:04This is the third time this has happened tonight.
00:41:06This is the third time this has happened tonight.
00:41:12Seth Rollins, Big Bronson Reed separated again by security.
00:41:17Enough! Enough! Enough!
00:41:20Did either one of you selfish bastards stop the thing for one second?
00:41:24That I was going to give you what you want?
00:41:26No, of course not.
00:41:28But you are.
00:41:29And crowned jewel.
00:41:30Bronson Reed.
00:41:31Seth Rollins.
00:41:32It is official.
00:41:34Get that out of my damn building.
00:41:37This is the worst mistake you ever made, Seth.
00:41:40This is the worst mistake.
00:41:42The crown jewel.
00:41:43We're going to get Rollins and Big Bronson Reed.
00:41:46How about that?
00:41:49So while Pierce has his hands full constantly with Rollins and Reed.
00:41:53He's also trying to establish calendars for the judgment day.
00:41:58The LWO wants to be just that.
00:42:01Rey Mysterio.
00:42:02Dragon Lee.
00:42:03Teaming up in this number one contenders tournament.
00:42:08The following is a first round match.
00:42:11In the World Tag Team Championship.
00:42:14Number one contenders tournament.
00:42:18Introducing first.
00:42:20Being accompanied by Joaquin Wilde.
00:42:23Cruz Centoro.
00:42:24And Zelina Vega.
00:42:27The team of.
00:42:28Dragon Lee.
00:42:30WWE Hall of Famer.
00:42:33Rey Mysterio.
00:42:36The LWO.
00:42:42Mysterio and Lee.
00:42:44Trying to work their way into contention with the support of Zelina Vega.
00:42:48They'll take on the incredibly gifted American Maid.
00:42:52When we return to Monday Night Raw.
00:43:01The LWO.
00:43:09As we've walked this path.
00:43:11There's been setbacks that would have ended.
00:43:17But we rise time and again.
00:43:21But we've shed our armor.
00:43:24And headed to our future without fear.
00:43:31We look to our ancestors.
00:43:36The Viking warriors of the past.
00:43:39For inspiration.
00:43:41They crossed oceans conquering everything in their path.
00:43:45We too have traveled the world.
00:43:48Raiding gold far and wide.
00:43:51Your time to run and hide.
00:43:55Has ended.
00:44:01Good to have the War Raiders back as we are back in Philly.
00:44:04Of course we were here on April 5th in this arena for the Hall of Fame ceremony.
00:44:08When Paul Heyman was inducted and put on that ECW hat and leather jacket.
00:44:12Said, do you think that spirit of ECW died in bankruptcy court in 2001?
00:44:16You can all cough, beep, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.
00:44:20You can all cough, beep, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.
00:44:23Heyman put on a show that night getting into the Hall of Fame.
00:44:27Hey, women reigned supreme in WWE's most viewed Instagram reels of all time.
00:44:32With 80 million views for Raquel Rodriguez.
00:44:35Shocking our viewers when she picked up Nia Jax in 2023.
00:44:40But that was beaten out by Rhea Ripley's powerbomb of Zelina Vega backlash in 2023.
00:44:46With over 82 million.
00:44:48Rhea Ripley popping her shoulder back in place at SummerSlam.
00:44:5195 million views.
00:44:57The new clubhouse, what do you think?
00:45:00You want to know what we think?
00:45:01What I think is what I need to do is I need to find Rhea Ripley.
00:45:04And when I do I'm going to rip her.
00:45:06We're going to focus on Rhea when the time is right.
00:45:08But right now I need to focus on Nia Jax and Crown Jewel.
00:45:10And Finn and Jade need to focus on the tag titles.
00:45:12Right Finn?
00:45:14Liv, everybody knows.
00:45:17Me and Jade can handle any tag team on earth.
00:45:20What I'm worried about is Damien Priest making another claim at the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:45:27Yeah, but I thought.
00:45:28What if I'm the one who beats Gunter for the world title?
00:45:31Hey there dear.
00:45:32Hi.
00:45:33Lilia.
00:45:34Tell them about the culture world champion.
00:45:35That's not cool.
00:45:36You can totally beat him, Damien.
00:45:37I'm serious.
00:45:38I.
00:45:39Damien is my brother.
00:45:41I heard you.
00:45:43I'm sorry.
00:45:44What do you even do around here?
00:45:47I don't know.
00:45:48Let's just say I bring the cool factor to the judging day.
00:45:54I'm also a fixer.
00:45:56As a matter of fact, I'll fix it right now.
00:45:59Dom will be no champion or real world champion in no time.
00:46:02I'm going to talk to Pierce.
00:46:04Who are you talking to?
00:46:07I don't know.
00:46:09Carlitos got a job to do I guess.
00:46:12Generation gap of Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.
00:46:16But they are always in the ring.
00:46:18In sync with their signature LWO style.
00:46:21Look at this.
00:46:22It is great to have NXT champ Trick Williams here in Philly.
00:46:26A few years ago he was here in Philly wearing an NFL jersey as part of the Eagles trying to land on that roster full time.
00:46:33Chose the right career path I think.
00:46:36I'll start hitting your bucket seat.
00:46:40My boy Trick Willie.
00:46:53And their opponents being accompanied by Chad Gable and Ivy Nile.
00:46:58The team of Julius and Brutus Creed.
00:47:02American Made.
00:47:06Wait, what was it about months ago that Chad Gable declared that American Made does not shy away from history.
00:47:12They create it.
00:47:14Opponents will be well advised to shy away from American Made.
00:47:19Because these two boys.
00:47:20All American Olympic caliber credentials.
00:47:25They are here for gold.
00:47:27And that pathway starts tonight with victory.
00:47:30Over the LWO's Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.
00:47:34To get themselves one step closer to an opportunity at the Judgment Day's tag gold.
00:47:40Planned by Ivy Nile, Chad Gable, Brutus and Julius Creed.
00:47:45To take a big step ahead tonight.
00:47:49Deliver on Gable's high expectations for them.
00:47:53In this World Tag Team Championship.
00:47:55Number one contenders tournament.
00:48:24So if you're Lee and Mysterio.
00:48:26How do you approach it strategically knowing such a distinct style clash.
00:48:43They've seen exactly what you set up there Wade.
00:48:46With the aerial ability.
00:48:48Compared to the power of Creed.
00:48:50And here's the roll up by Dragon Lee.
00:48:52And the kick out.
00:48:55It's been a real learning experience since American Made.
00:48:58All the Creed brothers made it here to Raw and Smackdown.
00:49:01They were utterly devastated.
00:49:03During their time in NXT.
00:49:05Haven't quite hit those highs yet here.
00:49:07Of course they absolutely well in time.
00:49:10And that time is going to be speeded up by the fact that they have help and guidance from Chad Gable.
00:49:15Rey into the cover.
00:49:16Rey into the cover.
00:49:17This is the pace now that they would prefer Lee and Mysterio.
00:49:20Well this is exactly what Rey, Mysterio and Dragon Lee need to do.
00:49:24Keep this one moving as fast as possible.
00:49:27Try and confuse the less experienced Creed brothers.
00:49:31But with power like this.
00:49:33From Julius Creed.
00:49:35How the hell can you combat that.
00:49:37Do people understand what it takes to do what he just did right there.
00:49:41From off the mat to vertical.
00:49:45Raw strength alone with a barbell.
00:49:47People can't do that.
00:49:48Let alone with a wriggling Rey Mysterio.
00:49:53It's both these teams looking to join the War Raiders.
00:49:56And now the New Day in next week's triple threat final to crown number one contenders.
00:50:01And things suddenly turning the way of American Made.
00:50:05Curtis Creed feeling like they have taken control of things here.
00:50:10The New Day were able to get past Authors of Pain earlier tonight.
00:50:13In this number one contenders tournament.
00:50:16Brutus smash in the ring on a defenseless Rey Mysterio.
00:50:20Just some of the antics there from Brutus Creed.
00:50:24That does frustrate the older brother Julius who seems far more focused.
00:50:28Brutus at times can act something of the goofball in there.
00:50:32But man physically speaking utterly devastating.
00:50:35Look at this smart work from the Hall of Famer.
00:50:39You do have to work smart against individuals like the Creed brothers.
00:50:43So big, so strong.
00:50:45An opportunity to fly for Dragon Lee.
00:50:48Yes.
00:50:49Look at that.
00:50:51Rey gave him just a little bit of space.
00:50:54And Dragon went flying.
00:50:57Check it out folks.
00:50:59Great stuff in Philly.
00:51:01It's been an interesting run for Julius and Brutus Creed.
00:51:04They're up against Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio here in the World Tag Team Championship
00:51:09number one contenders tournament.
00:51:11The winner here will lock up that final spot.
00:51:13We saw the New Day advance a week ago.
00:51:15We saw the War Raiders advance.
00:51:17This will see who will go up against the Judgment Day.
00:51:22Things have suddenly turned the way of American Made.
00:51:27Things have suddenly turned the way of American Made
00:51:31after being under the cost for large parts of the early goings in this one.
00:51:36Now it is Dragon Lee who is looking in immense trouble
00:51:40as many often are against that freakish power of Julius Creed.
00:51:45Hooks the leg after the superplex in the kick out at two.
00:51:48How often do you see that?
00:51:50Just a deadlift superplex here from Julius Creed
00:51:54who is just jaw dropping every time you see him.
00:51:58Two-time NCAA All-American, the record setter at Duke.
00:52:05Chad Gable, the master loving everything he's seen from his men thus far.
00:52:11Riding out an early storm
00:52:13and now starting to snuff out the threat of the two luchadors.
00:52:16You can see the growling support from Zelina Vega.
00:52:21Another glimpse of the power of Julius Creed in front of us here.
00:52:25Wade, look at this.
00:52:26Power is one thing. It's the raw technique too.
00:52:29But wow, what a reversal.
00:52:31Hurricane Rama there from Dragon Lee
00:52:34who can attack you from every angle.
00:52:36You cannot count him out.
00:52:38Question being, can he get the tag to the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio,
00:52:43raring to get back into this one?
00:52:45Well, Brutus Creed is tagged in and here comes Rey Mysterio.
00:52:51And Rey taking advantage against Brutus.
00:52:53The indefatigable human spirit of Rey Mysterio.
00:52:58Completely improbable career.
00:53:00Broken all records.
00:53:03Can he continue to progress towards tag goal with a new partner?
00:53:08Rey going up top.
00:53:11West coast pop.
00:53:13And then a big forearm for Julius.
00:53:17Tornado DDT into the cover.
00:53:20Hooks the leg for the win to advance.
00:53:22And the kick out at two.
00:53:23Continuing to baffle and confound the relative newcomers,
00:53:29the Creed brothers.
00:53:30Now, Brutus Creed in the ring right now in a world of trouble.
00:53:34Brother Julius nowhere to be seen.
00:53:37Rey is on fire.
00:53:39Have things in control.
00:53:41The crowd know what they want.
00:53:43The crowd know what they want.
00:53:52Brutus just catching him out of midair.
00:53:54Raw power of Brutus Creed.
00:53:58Thickness of the man.
00:54:00Utterly devastating.
00:54:02Moonsault from the big guy.
00:54:03Yeah, man, that big should never be able to pull that off.
00:54:07And his brother as well hooks the leg for the win.
00:54:11And in comes Dragon Lee.
00:54:132.99.
00:54:15Dragon Lee had to be on the money on that one.
00:54:18Thankfully for hitting Rey Mysterio, he was.
00:54:25Look at this.
00:54:28Oh, he's got him in that stop position and he delivers it.
00:54:32Well, that could be the end of Julius Creed.
00:54:35And that Brutus Creed to that list.
00:54:40And Rey's got him lined up, Wade.
00:54:42Rey smells victory and so does this audience.
00:54:47And so does Chad Gable.
00:54:48Wise move there from Master Chad Gable.
00:54:51The end was nigh and that has opened a window now for Julius.
00:54:56Oh, and Zelina says, I got an issue with it.
00:55:01Shankler to the face of Chad Gable.
00:55:05Hold up.
00:55:10Zelina Vega and Ivy Nile outside on the floor.
00:55:20This match continuing despite the shenanigans on the outside.
00:55:24And it is now Julius who's looking good.
00:55:28Or is it?
00:55:29He had him in position before 6.19.
00:55:32This time able to deliver.
00:55:34There's the tag.
00:55:37Dragon Lee legal.
00:55:38The splash from up top to advance.
00:55:42Yes.
00:55:43Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee.
00:55:45Here are your winners, LWO.
00:55:52So what a show we're going to have, Wade Barron.
00:55:55The number one contender's tournament finals was decided this way.
00:56:01Well, what a tag team tandem.
00:56:03This has turned out to be the 6.19 from the Hall of Famer.
00:56:07Followed by this sky high splash from Dragon Lee.
00:56:13They progress one step closer to earning a championship opportunity against Judgment Day.
00:56:19And as you mentioned, Joe, that triple threat final takes place next week.
00:56:24Rey and Dragon Lee versus the New Day versus the War Raiders.
00:56:30You can just sense how upset Chad Gable and American made are.
00:56:35But Lee and Mysterio stand atop.
00:56:42Guys, guys, listen.
00:56:43I saw it. I saw it.
00:56:44Listen, I saw what they did.
00:56:45I saw it last year Jakar did.
00:56:46I'm going to talk to the other GMs.
00:56:47Trust me on this.
00:56:48We're going to figure out a solution.
00:56:49We're going to figure it out.
00:56:50Okay?
00:56:51I give you my word.
00:56:54Let me get through tonight.
00:57:00I got to learn Chinese.
00:57:02What do you want?
00:57:05Let me tell you something.
00:57:06I heard a little birdie told me that you're looking for a new challenger for Gunther.
00:57:12Gunther, whatever his name is.
00:57:14I got the perfect guy for you.
00:57:17Dominic Mysterio.
00:57:26What's so funny?
00:57:27Are you serious?
00:57:28Yeah, I'm serious.
00:57:29Dom?
00:57:30Yes, Dom.
00:57:31Look, I'm looking for a challenger for Gunther.
00:57:32That's true.
00:57:33But Dom hasn't exactly done, well, anything to deserve that.
00:57:36And furthermore, if Dom wanted that opportunity, why are you here asking for it?
00:57:40Because I'm a fixer.
00:57:42And what exactly are you fixing?
00:57:45Come on, man.
00:57:46Please, come on, man.
00:57:47Give Dom a chance.
00:57:48Are you serious?
00:57:49Yes, give him a chance.
00:57:50Please, please, please.
00:57:51Come on.
00:57:52Carly.
00:57:53I'll give Dom a chance.
00:57:54I'll tell you what.
00:57:55You let Dom know.
00:57:56If I can beat, say, a former World Heavyweight Champion, I'll consider putting him in the
00:58:01number one contender's matchup.
00:58:02Thank you, man.
00:58:03I appreciate it, man.
00:58:04You're the fixer.
00:58:05Thank you, man.
00:58:06I appreciate it.
00:58:07Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:58:08You did good, man.
00:58:09Did you get a new haircut?
00:58:10No, no, I didn't.
00:58:11I need a drink.
00:58:12I'm backstage with Braun Breaker.
00:58:14Braun, in a few minutes, you'll face Jey Uso with a chance to win back the Intercontinental
00:58:20Championship.
00:58:22confident going into this match, knowing that Jey Uso has been somewhat preoccupied with
00:58:28his family.
00:58:29I didn't come here for a cheesesteak.
00:58:33I came here to take back what's mine, and that's the Intercontinental Championship.
00:58:39I respect Jey Uso.
00:58:41I respect Jey as a champion.
00:58:43I think what he's doing is great.
00:58:45But Jey's not a focused champion.
00:58:48He's got all kinds of family drama going on, which is exactly why I'm going to take back
00:58:54what belongs to me.
00:58:57Now, Jackie, I'm a badass.
00:59:01It's time to do what badasses do.
00:59:03So I just have one question for you.
00:59:08We got any dogs barking in Philly?
00:59:11Now, there may be some barking, but you know there's going to be some yeeting as well.
00:59:20A lot of it.
00:59:21It is now time for Braun Breaker to back up what he has said.
00:59:26You know, this current world roster, there's many veterans who have been in this position
00:59:30before.
00:59:31You got Ray, Bing, Seth, all regaining the Intercontinental Championship in their career
00:59:35for a second run.
00:59:36But it's this young, soaring Breaker who's going about it differently.
00:59:40The only way he knows, with unparalleled, instant intensity.
00:59:44A mere 28 days since his stunning loss.
00:59:47And in that span, stalking Supersphere after Supersphere to get back in the ring with Jey Uso.
01:00:02It's the rematch.
01:00:03Will Braun Breaker regain his coveted IC title?
01:00:07Or will Philly be yeeting and yeeting and yeeting deep into the night?
01:00:11We determine it.
01:00:13The Intercontinental Championship.
01:00:16The rematch.
01:00:17Braun and Jey next.
01:00:22It's what you're doing, Joe!
01:00:31Guys, I'm here with the World Heavyweight Champion.
01:00:34And a man who has his sights set on becoming the first ever Crown Jewel Champion.
01:00:38Of course, I'm talking about the Ring General, Gunther.
01:00:41Gunther, do you have a response to Cody Rhodes' invitation to come to SmackDown this Friday?
01:00:45You know what I don't understand?
01:00:47And Cody does it every single time.
01:00:49He drags the people closest to him into his business matters.
01:00:52Mentioning his daughter as his reason why was totally unnecessary.
01:00:56That guy, I think, just loves the drama.
01:00:59It has nothing to do with his family.
01:01:01But it has everything to do with a generational champion versus champion match for the newly established Crown Jewel Championship.
01:01:09And it's also on the winner to establish the legacy for the new championship.
01:01:14And no disrespect, Cody is a fantastic champion. He's on top of his game right now.
01:01:19But if we're all honest, the title that he's holding, that legacy has been established long before his time.
01:01:26I think he's just one of many.
01:01:29Unlike me, I am one of one.
01:01:33Everything I touch turns into gold.
01:01:36So yes, I will be in Brooklyn on Friday.
01:01:45Relax your shoulders. Take it easy. Ain't nobody walking in here to smack you up.
01:01:50At least not yet.
01:01:52I got no issue with you anymore, man.
01:01:54My issues were with the judgment thing.
01:01:56I handled that.
01:01:58So now, it's only fair I should get back what I should have never lost in the first place.
01:02:05Before you say anything, I ain't looking for a handout.
01:02:09I'll earn it just like I earn everything else.
01:02:12So go to Crown Jewel. Handle your business.
01:02:16When you come back, you are going to have a problem with me.
01:02:22Matter of fact, you're going to have a big problem when I once again become El Campeon.
01:02:31Okay. El Campeon.
01:02:36Good for you.
01:02:38Damien Priest.
01:02:40You will be good for me.
01:02:41We're 12 days away from Crown Jewel.
01:02:44You know the task for Gunther against Cody, but then Damien Priest.
01:02:47So from one former champion seeking his own title to another.
01:02:50There's Ron Breaker.
01:02:51You see right there, back in Philly, back in the spring.
01:02:54NXT Stand and Deliver, his only match here in Philadelphia.
01:02:58He won that.
01:02:59What we were referencing about becoming a second-time IC champion,
01:03:02there's the list of the active multi-time intercontinental title winners.
01:03:09Ron Breaker now.
01:03:10Just sit back.
01:03:11You have to have great patience while your opponent's tidal wave of hype gathers.
01:03:20It has turned into an unequaled appreciation for rallying high point
01:03:24every time Jey Uso enters an arena and now as a champion.
01:03:28Philadelphia is ready to yeet.
01:03:32Jey Uso.
01:03:33Jey Uso.
01:03:34Jey Uso.
01:03:35Jey Uso.

01:05:55And that is what is on the line that means so much to James so the Intercontinental Championship
01:06:07won it back on September 23rd and Wade Barrett I offer this to you because it's been puzzling
01:06:13to try to get a handle on Bron Draker the badass lately so Jay takes the belt on the
01:06:1823rd.
01:06:19A week later we're broadcasting Monday Night Raw and Bron comes out and everybody thinks
01:06:23okay here we go they're going to get after it again and instead the two shook hands then
01:06:28Jay had the title defense against Xavier Woods and Bron's attacking everybody and that's
01:06:33been going on.
01:06:34Yeah I spoke to Bron about that he said he felt disrespected when he shook Jay's hand
01:06:40one week after losing the championship didn't feel that the respect he gave Jay was reciprocated
01:06:48and as a result decided to do a 180 well he needs a 180 in a hurry in this match because
01:06:53Jay Uso takes immediate control this one continues on Raw.
01:06:58Some of the best fans at all here in Philly that is what is on the line the Intercontinental
01:07:06Championship Jay Uso title defense against Bron Draker, Jay Tessitore and Wade Barrett
01:07:10with you here and with all the family history attached to this belt for Jay the fifth member
01:07:16of his family an extended family to have the IC title that includes his father Rikishi
01:07:20who has expressed incredible pride in recent media visits more than just the weight of
01:07:26a title for Jay there is legacy attached there is family pride attached.
01:07:32There's also the fact that it was 18 years in the making for Jay Uso to finally ascend
01:07:37to the top of that mountain and win his first singles championship but defending it may
01:07:43be a much bigger proposition kind of caught Bron Breaker by surprise with that victory
01:07:49four weeks ago it's very hard to catch a man by surprise twice.
01:07:54Breaker's been in control for the majority of the early going here in this championship
01:08:00match four weeks ago he lost this belt now trying to regain it speaks volumes to the
01:08:04hard wearing nature of Bron Breaker he really was hit by a blitz style attack by Jay Uso
01:08:12from the off but as tends to happen in Bron Breaker matches he does not stay down for long.
01:08:20So interesting when you size up rematches Wade they're all different sometimes they
01:08:24can be an extension of where the first match left off other times much can be learned and
01:08:28adapted how do you read that with Bron Breaker with what you've been seeing?
01:08:32I think Bron Breaker's ego was hurt by the fact he lost that championship he genuinely
01:08:37believed he was indestructible that has now served as huge motivation to right a perceived
01:08:44wrong in the mind of Bron Breaker and that really is nightmare fuel for Jay Uso.
01:08:55And Bron Breaker is just having it all his own way right now and we've seen Jay Uso take a hell
01:09:01of a lot of beatings over the years and bounce back but there is very little sign of life in
01:09:07the body of Jay Uso at this point in the matchup especially the damage that has been done to his
01:09:13lower back you saw him reaching for it there the knees were driven in he was sent into the
01:09:19buckles he has been targeting that lower back. Now Jay Uso potentially a rallying moment here
01:09:28with the series of right hands. You hear this crescendo of yeeting around us clearly helping
01:09:35Jay Uso but Bron Breaker does not give a damn what they want. Oh boy in the arrogance of Breaker
01:09:43as he was in the cover and we've seen this before out of him. A lot of people will call that a
01:09:51mistake I wouldn't. Why? I can promise you Bron Breaker was not going to get a three count there
01:09:58he knows full well that Jay Uso would have kicked out on that and he's mocking Jay Uso causing
01:10:04damage to the psyche of Jay Uso yeah you're the champ but you're simply not on my level
01:10:10that's the message. A former intracontinental champion won the title defeating Sami Zayn at
01:10:20SummerSlam but then now here's the cover with the hook of the leg and Jay does indeed
01:10:24kick out. This is just turning into a highlight reel performance from Bron Breaker thus far who is
01:10:30having way too much fun for a man who lost his championship four weeks ago and now has the
01:10:36opportunity to win it back. Look at this level of athleticism he is dynamic explosive strong
01:10:44powerful and just twitching quick twitch athlete. Game-changing at that level of power that level
01:10:51of unbridled menace bouncing around the ring who can do things you're not supposed to be able to
01:10:58do with that level of muscle mass on your frame. A good parry and counter from Jay
01:11:03three
01:11:08and the biggest right hand of all just plopped clean to the jaw of Breaker who fell hard
01:11:16Jay struggling
01:11:20Jay perhaps looking for the hip attack but it turns into a kick opportunity against Bron and now up top
01:11:27This has been much better from Jay Uso who tends to struggle in the early goings-off matches
01:11:33the less he thinks in there the more he works off instinct the better Jay Uso tends to get
01:11:39Breaker looking for the superplex as Jay tries to neutralize that effort
01:11:47and here he comes that's just unfair oh top rope frankensteiner by Bron Breaker into the cover
01:11:55for the title again but the kick out you can see the disappointment as Breaker nailed that frankensteiner
01:12:03but the kick out you can see the disappointment as Breaker nailed that frankensteiner
01:12:14Bron Breaker had the IC title for just 51 days that's the second shortest completed title reign
01:12:22since March of 2022 now he's looking to get it back in control here against Jay Uso and his
01:12:28title defense here in Philly, both men are hurting in a big way arguably Jay more than
01:12:42as Bron Breaker survived, oh somehow just enough left in the tank of the challenger Bron Breaker
01:12:49after it looked like Jay Uso's intercontinental championship reign was hanging in the balance
01:12:56that is the danger that is the threat of Jay Uso that is what took him to the title
01:13:02in the first race it wasn't quite enough there but still
01:13:10the heck is Jay looking out off to the side as is the crowd there's a commotion out here oh my
01:13:17Sol Rosicoa the new travel trick he comes out with a yeet t-shirt for big brother
01:13:30flanked by Jacob Patu his enforcer he says no we bought tickets to be here
01:13:35in Philadelphia overtly he's here to support his brother Jay Uso
01:13:43we saw the exchange that they had on Friday night when
01:13:47Jay rejected efforts and now in the middle of a championship title defense he's engaging with
01:13:54Sola what are you doing here I'm trying to help you I'm trying to help you win I'm trying to help
01:14:01you win the belt
01:14:11and now back to business with Bron Breaker Sola made it quite clear he's here to help Jay Jay
01:14:17told him previously I want nothing to do with you I just want the family back together what
01:14:24a massive distraction that was just when Jay Uso had taken control of the match
01:14:32okay and Jay able to turn things around in Slams Breaker oh wow skull ring goes first to that steel
01:14:41ring post they're everywhere oh super kick to Tom DeLola as he takes him over the barrier
01:14:52she's a super kick as well again overtly at least at first trying to help Jay Uso Jay Uso
01:15:02wanting none of it here's over again it's Sobo Shakoa and Jacob Patu in the midst and now he's
01:15:11over the barrier
01:15:24okay
01:15:41as Jacob Patu looks on the Samoan werewolf Bron Breaker the former champion now title
01:15:48challenger inadvertently taking out Solo Shakoa on a huge knee to Jay Uso Bron Breaker doesn't
01:15:56care Bron Breaker just wants his Intercontinental Championship back no doubt may well be about to
01:16:02and now Jacob Patu has entered the fray
01:16:17the two of these men face to face
01:16:22oh and Jacob's flying
01:16:29Patu's over announced this Jay and Breaker are laid out on the floor what an absolute mess
01:16:37everywhere you look bodies strewn around the ringside area the two men who were supposed to
01:16:43be out here competing for the Intercontinental Championship
01:16:50so the bloodline arrives bodies are laid out Breaker is down Jay's thinking Uso
01:16:57splash and a title defense he eats the knees the knees to the gut
01:17:05well both men will be well advised to put this one to bed as soon as possible this might be it
01:17:11super spear is missed super kick is landed
01:17:16and another Jay Uso about to get out of that spear Jay Uso closing in on a massive title defense
01:17:25in this rematch Uso splash hooks the leg to retain oh my what a kick out how after that
01:17:41splash it was all stuck in favor of Jay Uso this was supposed to be it Jay Uso was supposed to be
01:17:51home and dry and now Tama Tonga and Tonga rule up there on the apron and Adam Pierce is saying hey
01:18:01we've got a championship match that needs to be decided
01:18:05oh what a roller coaster for Jay Uso this should be over finally the Tonga is getting
01:18:14taken out of here and the championship match continues so Pierce and officials cleaning
01:18:23things up the bloodline interrupting this Intercontinental Championship match that
01:18:28Jay Uso thought he had won later the Uso splash but somehow deep down the fire within
01:18:35Bron Breaker to kick out to have done all of that and to have still not secured the
01:18:45back up on his feet and he does damage to Jay Uso
01:18:51Samoan drops onto the desk with an already badly damaged lower back of the champion
01:19:02and to be clear the referee concerned with Adam Pierce and the Tonga missed the entire thing
01:19:11as Bron Breaker rises to his feet won't break us all the whole thing he's licking his jump
01:19:19the Samoan werewolf solos enforcer Jacob Batu may have just altered this championship match
01:19:29Bron Breaker tosses Jay Uso back in the ring Jay Uso looks dumb already
01:19:3823 miles an hour when he hits those ropes and the super spear has landed the badass to win back
01:19:47the belt he has done it here's your winner and new Intercontinental Champion
01:20:04and to think Wayne Barrys how much that championship meant to Jay Uso he was trying
01:20:12to stay out of all the family issues and in the end the bloodline involves themselves like that
01:20:20well solo Takoa's message has to be it didn't have to be that way Jay we came down to help you
01:20:28and you threw it back in the face of the bloodline this is the game-changing moment
01:20:34Jacob Batu with the super kick and the Samoan drop on the table behind the referees back
01:20:40followed by this speed tech spear from Bron Breaker like taking candy from a baby and how
01:20:48heartbreaking for Jay Uso Bron Breaker is the Intercontinental Champion again what a night from
01:20:56Philly
