00:00Yeah, it was supposed to be scheduled for a bit later on tonight.
00:06Godspeed in there, Michael Cole.
00:07Later on tonight, but Gunther, let's just get to it.
00:09Two weeks ago, Jimmy bloodied in the middle of this ring,
00:13and it caused Jey Uso to march down here last week.
00:15He looked me in the eye, and he told me that he's not afraid of me no more.
00:20Last week, Jey came down here that Jey Uso is full of crap.
00:27We saw what happened last year at WrestleMania.
00:30Screw your question, and screw everybody who stands with him.
00:36I stepped foot in his company.
00:38I am the greatest gift.
00:40I have been a champion, the greatest world heavyweight champion of all time.
00:48At the end of the day, the bell has to ring, and I will still put you down.
00:54The last two weeks, I've been told you went too far with Jimmy.
00:58In 37 years of my life, I have never lost control.
01:03I want you to go pray to the Lord that I was in control two weeks ago.
01:09I would have drowned you both in Jimmy's blood.
01:13And walk out of WrestleMania, the world heavyweight champion.
01:19Michael Cole asked two questions, and then Gunther...
01:21Boother.
01:27The following process is scheduled for one fall.
01:30Introducing Pressed.
01:32She teams with Lyra Valkyria, the women's intercontinental champion.
01:37Kicking off WrestleMania week in a big way in Sacramento.
01:40Wise move by...
01:41Logan and Raquel believe they are the greatest women's tag team of all time.
01:45On Friday, help cure some of those ills, Pat.
01:47Ducks underneath the clothesline, and Bayley takes her down, does press, and now Bayley.
01:53Yeah, first ballot Hall of Famer, speaking of the Hall of Fame, no doubt about that.
01:56By the WWE Universe for good reason.
01:59And Liv Morgan, speaking of accomplishing everything.
02:01Yeah, she lets you know about it, too.
02:03Oh, Morgan into the corner.
02:05On the grand stage.
02:06Be able to punch the ticket Friday night with the gauntlet match win.
02:14Nice suplex by Bayley.
02:16Absolutely.
02:17He's able to rebalance everything.
02:18Absolutely.
02:19Bayley now.
02:20Oh, nice back suplex delivered to Morgan, and Bayley's rolling.
02:23Liv Morgan obviously heading for the hills here, hiding behind Raquel, trying to catch up either.
02:27For the suicide dive, it ran right into a right hand by Morgan.
02:30It's up now for the three amigos.
02:32On the outside goal.
02:34This could be a disaster.
02:36Off the steps into a suplex.
02:39Over 14,000 sold out the final Raw before.
02:42Getting control, but Bayley obviously powering up with the people of Sacramento.
02:46Pump kick.
02:47To block that.
02:48Oh, big knee.
02:50And nobody, oh, face first into the turnbuckle.
02:53And now Morgan with that step up in Zagiri.
02:57Oh, Morgan.
02:58Bayley and a kick out by Bayley at two.
03:01Sunset flip, buckle bump.
03:03And this time it connects.
03:04And a kick out by Liv Morgan.
03:06Morgan able to block.
03:08Oh!
03:10Morgan, and look at the intense look of the eyes.
03:12What she needed.
03:13And now a drop kick off the apron, and Bayley's in deep, deep trouble.
03:16And a kick out by Bayley at two.
03:19Morgan out.
03:20Uh-oh, in trouble.
03:21Bayley now.
03:22Hangs her up on the second rope.
03:25Morgan off the second rope.
03:26Oh, caught by Bayley.
03:28Bayley with a Bayley to Bayley.
03:32And now Rodriguez.
03:34Rodriguez putting it.
03:35Lyra Valkyria's had it up.
03:37And Lyra attacking Rodriguez.
03:39Got involved.
03:40And now a big boot to the Intercontinental Champion.
03:43And Bayley making Raquel Rodriguez pay.
03:46Raquel upside down.
03:47Backstabber by Morgan.
03:49Going for Oblivion.
03:51Lyra Valkyria helping out Bayley.
03:53Bayley with a jackknife cover.
03:55And a win.
03:58Morgan was going for the Oblivion and the win.
04:01Tag team title opportunities has Raquel.
04:04And Luke Morgan.
04:06Since CM Punk revealed the favor a couple of weeks ago.
04:10Action here tonight against the Hall of Famer, Ray Mysterio.
04:15Going to take on El Grande Americano.
04:18It's a shame that Chad Gable does have his WrestleMania moment.
04:22Chad Gable and El Grande Americano do resemble each other, kind of.
04:26Julius Creed now backs Mysterio.
04:29Yeah, Ray's had to have a strategy against a bigger opponent for his entire career.
04:32This year's WrestleMania, Pat, will mark the 13th.
04:36Great moments over the years at WrestleMania.
04:38Never forget 2006.
04:40Double camp.
04:41Just like that.
04:42The quickness of Mysterio with that Rana.
04:43Ray.
04:44Oh!
04:45Former three-time world.
04:47Not everybody will understand this reference, but he's an Ohio guy, too.
04:51He was a young child.
04:51He's asleep on the mats.
04:53Uh-oh.
04:53Julius sends him out to the apron, but Ray with tremendous balance.
04:57Creed back down to the floor.
04:58And Ray's going to go high.
04:59Brother Brutus Creed distracting the official.
05:01Chad Gable.
05:03Chad Gable would say that he's a genius for doing that.
05:05As Julius to the top.
05:06Now Dragon Lee with a little payback.
05:08We're going to take control.
05:12And he sends everybody to the showers.
05:15That's cool crap.
05:17This is America.
05:20WWE fans sold out of Sacramento tonight over.
05:23Rey Mysterio.
05:24Uh-oh.
05:24Look at this.
05:25Oh, Ray tumbles hard.
05:26Oh, nobody home.
05:29Ray's.
05:29Ray with a hurricanrana from the top.
05:32Sending Julius Cran.
05:33And what a counter by Mysterio.
05:37Slide through.
05:37Oh!
05:38That knee drives Mysterio to the ropes.
05:41Got a little oversetless.
05:42He went up over the top rope for the fool.
05:45Now, grande Americano's here.
05:47Trying to rip the mask off of Americano to prove it's Chad Gable.
05:51Ray kicks out.
05:52Gable kicked out.
05:53And who shows up now?
05:54Magrano Americano.
05:55A couple weeks ago, we saw him same place, same time.
05:586-1-9.
05:59Dime Ray.
06:01Ray's going to Mania.
06:04Tonight, meanwhile, a grande Americano.
06:08And now the LWO.
06:10And there again, wiping out all of LWO.
06:14Because just like that, Ray Mysterio's out.
06:17I think he just said gracias.
06:19One, two, three, four.
06:22Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths.
06:26War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination in last week.
06:32We had you beat.
06:35You took the coward's way out.
06:38You say this is about these titles.
06:41You took this to a whole new level.
06:45You came from my neck.
06:48You tried to end my career.
06:52This isn't going to be a match.
06:54Hell.
06:56This is war.
07:02It's all right.
07:03Yeah, that's pretty dope.
07:03Excuse me, guys.
07:04Xavier, Kofi.
07:05We got WWE in Clash of the Clans.
07:07And you're going to interrupt this, too?
07:08We heard from the War Raiders earlier.
07:10And they said that you guys took things to a whole new level last week.
07:13That your match at WrestleMania in less than a week is going to be a war.
07:17We've been in war.
07:17You see how these people treat us?
07:18You see how the people in the locker room have been treating us this entire time?
07:21But the war path stops at WrestleMania when we take back what belongs to us.
07:25World Tag Team Championships.
07:27New Day are the greatest tag team on the face of planet Earth.
07:31It's just a taste of what the New Day is willing to do to get our titles back.
07:35This Saturday, and when we regain our Tag Team Championships.
07:39But to drop to their knees, raise their hands to the sky, and scream in unison,
07:44Thank God for the new day.
07:51And this is phenomenal.
07:53We get set for the AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul matchup at WrestleMania.
08:02That takes place.
08:06And they are very, very similar.
08:09Darker version of AJ Styles of yesterday.
08:12As Karrion Kross believes that AJ Styles represented.
08:14And AJ Styles now driving Kross back into the corner.
08:17AJ's never lost WWE Champion.
08:20And say whatever you want about Logan Paul.
08:21You can't hear me?
08:23It doesn't have to be this way.
08:25And now Scarlett getting involved.
08:27Referee Jessica Karr dealing with Kross.
08:29How to manipulate folks into doing things his way.
08:32Great suplex by Manu.
08:33Pull some strings.
08:35A man who thrives on suffering.
08:38Needed to change things.
08:40AJ Styles needs to do some things differently as well.
08:42Standing dropkick right to the mouth of the weekend as well.
08:45AJ, baseball slide, drives Kross.
08:48Kross rolled out a horse way and out.
08:49Takes AJ out and he hit the side of his face pretty hard in the apron.
08:53And AJ driven into the barricade.
08:55And...
08:55Old buddy over there.
08:56He must really...
08:56Oh, wow!
08:58Styles!
08:59Wow!
09:02WrestleMania.
09:03And AJ Styles turns it into a cover and a kick out.
09:07Oh, and down goes AJ Styles.
09:09How about Karrion Kross here tonight?
09:11Career all around the world.
09:14And Kross, wait a minute.
09:15And it gave out from underneath him, obviously.
09:17Oh, and a cheap shot by Kross.
09:20Cruz.
09:21AJ showed a bit of sympathy and Kross played on that tonight.
09:25And AJ Styles fight to Kross.
09:28That's a little.
09:29Styles an opening.
09:30And here comes the phenomenal one.
09:32Kross kicking it in section.
09:33Clancy with an EET.
09:34Night Raw can make it a win over AJ Styles.
09:38Styles with Kross up top.
09:40Oh, knee right to the spine.
09:42Styles now.
09:44Phenomenal forearm!
09:46Could that be the fate of Logan Paul?
09:48Just like we've seen time and time.
09:54A maverick has arrived.
09:57AJ Styles!
10:00Hey, whoa, whoa.
10:01What's up with all the hostility?
10:03Sacramento chill.
10:04I came out here to tell my man congratulations.
10:07Congratulations, you did it!
10:08Bunch of people who weren't cool enough to live in Los Angeles
10:12just showed these generic California losers.
10:17Why don't we show them why our match is gonna make money?
10:20Please, please, enjoy this piece of cinema.
10:25I am the maverick, Logan Paul.
10:31Accomplish more in one weekend than you will in your entire life.
10:35I'm a purveyor of viral media.
10:37Your son's favorite superstar.
10:39Renewer.
10:39Innovator.
10:40Actor.
10:41Wrestler.
10:42Boxer.
10:42Clicking on keyboards.
10:44I'll keep being on billboards.
10:47That's a cute little video, smartass.
10:50But why don't we start WrestleMania a couple days early?
10:53Styles was not impressed.
10:57And Logan Paul making his way to the ring.
10:59Styles now trying to take out Paul and Kross.
11:02And Karrion Kross, Styles though, oh, takes it out.
11:06By Styles with Logan Paul and...
11:12Oh, the riser from Logan Paul.
11:16Viral moment when he goes one-on-one with AJ Styles.
11:19Paul, CM Punk's favor a couple of weeks ago.
11:22What's Heyman in for with Reigns tonight?
11:25Oh, yeah.
11:25Gunther and last week, Pat, Jey Uso marched out of the ring.
11:34Who's worked his ass off to get to this situation?
11:37And it's all part of WrestleMania Saturday.
11:39Oh, yeah.
11:41What a scene.
11:54One at a time.
12:02You earned this, dude.
12:03You earned this.
12:04I said what I had to say to Gunther last week.
12:07But I really wanted to come out here and holler at y'all.
12:10People, what up, Sactown?
12:12Yeah.
12:14Everybody keep on asking me.
12:16Oos, Jey, where your mind at?
12:17Hell, yeah.
12:18I'm crashing out.
12:19Yeah.
12:20Locked in for my family?
12:22Yeah.
12:22I'm locked in for y'all.
12:24You afraid?
12:25I'm going to whoop your ass in front of 60,000 people.
12:29I'm going to see you on Saturday, Oos.
12:31Gunther.
12:31So here's what we're going to do.
12:33One time for the one time.
12:36Please hit my music.
12:38Oh, yeah.
12:39Oh.
12:40You know, Pat, it's funny.
12:48Our cameraman's sweaty.
12:53Pain time!
12:55This is going to be a barn burner, live on Netflix.
13:02People in the match are obviously in the same group, who have obviously a lot to keep their
13:05eye on.
13:06And Penta is taking his first championship at WWE.
13:09Big cross body.
13:10WWE.
13:11Yeah, the WWE career thus far has come from that man, Finn Balor.
13:14It's been Balor better.
13:16Now, interesting, you know, Balor could pin Dominic Mysterio.
13:21The Judgment Day is going to implode totally at WrestleMania.
13:24I think the Elfish group, the Judgment Day.
13:26Well, I don't think that it's always a great.
13:30It's reared its ugly head on a number of occasions, i.e.
13:34Damian Priest.
13:35Oh!
13:38Over the top sunset flip.
13:40Balor with a nice baseman dropkick.
13:41Has not been able to win singles gold.
13:44Penta, of course, making his debut on the big stage.
13:48A tall task ahead of him.
13:49Yeah, and is he going to be a mugging by Judgment Day a little bit earlier on tonight?
13:53The greats that have held it.
13:55Oh!
13:56The first Hall of Famer to hold the title.
13:58Sweet!
13:59Balor turns it around.
14:00And on the apron, Penta's down and may be out.
14:04Yep, Balor.
14:06In Balor.
14:08Common, other than being on the Judgment Day, is that they are both hated by everyone.
14:11Oh, that's true.
14:12He forced himself to do a front flip after that.
14:15Breaking Spear.
14:17Penta missed it now.
14:18Then Balor again takes Penta out.
14:20Hook to the leg, and Penta kicks out.
14:22Football pad over the years, heading into the playoff.
14:25He could lose momentum quickly, and that mode can go the other way.
14:28Penta.
14:29Oh, and Balor doing a great job.
14:30Can Balor keep that up?
14:32Four men in the fatal four-way Sunday at WrestleMania.
14:35See if the good teams are able to make one loss just be one loss, not turn it into two.
14:40And Penta now building.
14:41Next gear.
14:42And look at that.
14:43Oh, my!
14:45Balor at two.
14:46His innovative offense is so damn devastating.
14:49WrestleMania week.
14:51Three!
14:5160,000 plus.
14:53Well, that's Penta calling for here.
14:57Oh!
14:58Wow!
14:59Wow!
14:59In his track.
15:01Sling blade by Penta.
15:02Now Balor with a sling blade of his own.
15:05Penta, though.
15:06A nice tilt-a-roll backbreaker to Balor.
15:08Looking to dislocate the shoulder of Ben Balor.
15:12And now Penta.
15:14The Penta driver.
15:15Roll up.
15:15For the win.
15:16Hooks the leg.
15:16Kick out by Penta.
15:18Right hands and another kick by Penta.
15:20Super kick to the jaw.
15:22Oh, and here's Dominic and Carlito.
15:25Rolls up Penta.
15:26Shoulders down.
15:27Penta kicks at two.
15:29Sling blade.
15:30Themselves a part of this.
15:31Of course they did.
15:32Working together tonight.
15:33Will that be the case?
15:36Smart by Carlito.
15:38Balor.
15:38Oh, my goodness.
15:39Mouth table.
15:40To prevent himself from...
15:42Carlito, for sure.
15:43Especially after last week.
15:44Breaker.
15:46Smear.
15:46Double smear.
15:49When you look in the eyes.
15:51A broad breaker.
15:52Kick by Penta.
15:54Oh, and for the run-up.
15:56Didn't get all of it.
15:56Breaker.
15:57Top rope.
15:58Takes out everybody.
16:00Balor.
16:01Mysterio.
16:02Breaker.
16:03And it takes place on Wrestlemania Sunday.
16:09Gunther, who has seemingly been flustered the last couple of weeks.
16:12Take on.
16:13Bianca Belair.
16:14A former champion.
16:15Rhea Ripley.
16:16The stars are out at Wrestlemania Sunday.
16:18I've never seen you so stressed.
16:23I'm going to calm you down.
16:24Look at my eyes.
16:25What do you see?
16:26A cult of personality.
16:28No.
16:30Who isn't going to do anything to put you in harm's way?
16:36It's Michael Chief.
16:37Who is Paul talking to?
16:39The cult of personality.
16:48Roman Reigns is back.
16:51Live.
16:55Well, not being Reigns' corner at Wrestlemania.
16:59Sacramento.
17:01Acknowledge me.
17:17Acknowledge me.
17:18The whole world can hear.
17:28Understands that you would never betray your tribal chief.
17:32Some people would betray me.
17:36Sacramento.
17:37You got any guesses on who that might be?
17:39How could you betray me?
17:41He can't hear you.
17:41You got to say it a little louder.
17:43Why?
17:58My tribal chief.
18:00It was not a betrayal.
18:04I paid a favor.
18:07I must be a little confused here.
18:09It feels like the only person getting screwed here in this whole favor.
18:13Is me.
18:15If there's one thing you know about your tribal chief.
18:17We take what we want.
18:19I never ask for anybody to join me.
18:22Please tell me how I'm supposed to cover the tab.
18:26For your dumb ass favor.
18:28You're finally getting it, man.
18:52You're almost there.
18:53I still got to end you at Wrestlemania.
18:56Most important triple threat match in the history of Wrestlemania.
19:01Because the winner will define the future of our industry.
19:07It can't be you.
19:11Because if this business with people like you to do all the dirty work, then this business dies.
19:21If this business is filled with people like me, sacrifice, physical and mental well-being.
19:28What is best for business?
19:31The business not only lives.
19:33There can be only one.
19:36And it's got to be me.
19:37One little piece that you haven't quite figured out.
19:42Favors don't happen by chance, Roman.
19:45I chose not to put Paul Heyman in the hospital last week.
19:52Paul Heyman is not in CM Punk's corner at Wrestlemania.
19:58Paul Heyman has made a choice.
20:01What you need to ask yourself, the final piece of this puzzle.
20:05He's not just returning a favor.
20:08He's choosing CM Punk over you.
20:12You made your choice.
20:15And I made mine.
20:17Oh!
20:20Attacking Rollins!
20:23For a moment we thought Seth...
20:26Roman didn't want to hear it.
20:28I acknowledge you, my tribal G!
20:32That was great!
20:33But here comes CM Punk.
20:44Paul Heyman guy.
20:46And now Punk and Reigns going at each other.
20:48Paul Heyman in CM Punk's corner.
20:52Uh-oh.
20:52Punk turns around into a spare!
20:54The frustrations of the past year pointed it over tonight.
21:00Rollins!
21:02With a shield chair!
21:05Eerly reminiscent.
21:08And now Rollins with a stop to CM Punk!
21:11And Rollins with a stop to Roman Reigns!
21:16Unleashing one of the most dangerous...
21:18Oh!
21:19Oh!
21:20Oh!
21:21Oh!
21:22Oh!
21:23Oh!
21:24Oh!
