00:00I'm not the one who tapped out.
00:04I'm not the one who tapped out.
00:12All right, folks, please bear with us here as Joe Tessitore with you,
00:17as this is what just took place moments ago.
00:22And understandably, everybody's trying to gather themselves as my dear friend and
00:28colleague Michael Cole was attacked.
00:32And then Pat McAfee coming in his defense.
00:37And Gunther put him into a sleeper hold.
00:40And this was pure chaos as security was here.
00:44And a rear naked choke hold, and he choked him out.
00:48And it is just an absolute disgusting display, wholly unacceptable.
00:54And Pat McAfee is in the care of medical attention right now,
00:58as we're trying to just get everything settled here ringside, here in Vegas.
01:01Careful, water down, water down, let's go, man.
01:11Clear the way!
01:12Why the hell did he do that?
01:14Almost there.
01:19Almost there.
01:20In here, guys, in here, take him in.
01:23You all right?
01:28You good, Pat?
01:29Take care of him.
01:30Get him some water.
01:31All right?
01:31Take care of him.
01:32Take care of him.
01:34Take the rest of the night off.
01:37I sent Tess down there.
01:38You've been through a lot.
01:39You can even hear with Pat.
01:39He broke my nose.
01:40He might have broke your damn nose.
01:41Listen, here's the deal, Adam.
01:43How can we do our job if we're not allowed to have opinions?
01:46We're not allowed to talk about this stuff.
01:48We're not allowed to have fun.
01:49You've got to do something.
01:49We were going to deal with this, okay?
01:51So I want you to calm down.
01:52I want, look at me, take the rest of the night off.
01:54Okay?
01:54Take it off.
01:55I am not going to let some bully not allow me to do my job of wrestling.
02:02Good for him.
02:03No, thank you.
02:03Michael Cole!
02:08Michael Cole!
02:09Michael Cole!
02:10Michael Cole!
02:11All right.
02:11Joe Tessitore with you here, as you just saw what happened with Pat McAfee.
02:17Michael Cole, I think, is going to attempt to join me here in a moment.
02:22But Gunther, the recently dethroned World Heavyweight Champion, as Michael, who he took an attack himself,
02:30and thankfully Pat came to his aid, is somehow going to, I believe, come and join me here.
02:35And we're going to continue on with Monday Night Raw.
02:38And obviously I don't even know how Michael can compose himself right now to continue on.
02:45And Michael is going to settle in here.
02:47He says he's good enough to continue on.
02:48Michael's gonna settle in here.
03:04He says he's good enough to continue on, although.
03:06All this while we're moments away from the Intercontinental Championship.
03:18The following contest is scheduled for one call and
03:38is for the Intercontinental Championship.
03:45Introducing first, accompanied by Finn Balor and
03:48Carlito, representing the Judgment Day.
03:52He is the new Intercontinental Champion,
03:58Dirty Dominik Mysterio.
04:04So as everybody knows, last night Dirty Dom made history,
04:07winning his first WWE singles title.
04:11That thrilling fatal four-way when it appeared the Judgment Day brethren.
04:15Finn Balor was in position to claim it.
04:18Instead, a well-timed Frog Splash secured the victory for
04:22Dominik Mysterio, now the Intercontinental Champion.
04:25Had an 0-3 record at WrestleMania prior to that stunning upset.
04:29And wasting no time turning right around with a 24-hour turnaround for
04:33his first title defense.
04:40Backlash is presented by Morgan & Morgan,
04:43America's largest injury law firm injured.
04:47Go to ForThePeople.com.
04:50I'd love somebody to get us an update on Pat as soon as possible.
04:57This is obviously very testing circumstances for us,
05:01as our beloved colleague Pat McAfee was choked out by Gunther moments ago.
05:07But we are here to serve you, the fan, document the live event that's in front of us.
05:12So Joe Tessitore and Michael Cole ringside as we prepare for
05:15this Intercontinental Championship.
05:17Thank you for being here.
05:18Anything you can do.
05:19And his opponent, from a cat-defec Mexico with 87 kilos, Panda!
05:41You know, Joe, before and again,
05:43I'm out here to do my job, I'm not going to take away from this match.
05:48I'm going to try to add to it, but I do want to make one thing clear.
05:51If we cannot do our jobs, if we cannot have an opinion,
05:57if we cannot celebrate champions on a wonderful weekend like this,
06:02and as commentators, we are subject to an assault.
06:06And that's what that was.
06:07That was an assault.
06:08Absolutely it was.
06:09And Pat McAfee, God bless him, came to my aid.
06:12And he ended up paying for it.
06:14Adam Pearce needs to do something about Gunther, because if he doesn't,
06:17then Superstar is going to run roughshod over us each and every time we say
06:22something that may be a bit controversial.
06:24You know what, maybe I did cross the line a little bit with a couple of my
06:27comments over the past few weeks, and I apologize for that.
06:30But we're fans, Joe, you understand that.
06:33We all get caught up in the moment.
06:35We all get caught up in the emotion, and there's absolutely no way.
06:38We're not trained fighters.
06:39We shouldn't be subject to attacks like that.
06:42That's all I'm going to say about it.
06:43The actions that happened just moments ago can never be condoned,
06:48never be tolerated.
06:49And I know I echo the general manager Adam Pearce in saying that.
06:54And Michael, thank goodness you're okay.
06:56I don't know how you're down here even composing yourself mentally,
06:59let alone physically.
07:00Because again, we can't let bullies prevent us from doing our job.
07:03LeBron James isn't attacking Stephen A. Smith when he makes comments about LeBron.
07:07They all have a conversation about it, but it doesn't get physical.
07:10And that's what happened here tonight.
07:12Well, what happened this weekend in Vegas was the fatal four way that went dirty
07:17Dom's way, and now that championship is his, the Intercontinental title.
07:23And Joe, I would like to give props to Dominic Mysterio.
07:26And again, I've not been his biggest fan over the years.
07:28I've had a lot of issues with the way that he's treated his dad, Rey Mysterio,
07:32but he proved to the world last night with three of the best in the game
07:36that he could win a major championship, and he did just that.
07:39Meanwhile, you were on the call for this fatal four way.
07:41I thought that the luchador sensation Penta looked great.
07:45He was at his offensive best with a varied attack.
07:48He had to Penta drive her on Finn Balor only to have Bron Breaker save the day,
07:52then hit the Mexican Destroyer and Dominic himself.
07:54Yes, indeed.
07:55And Dominic ended up pinning his own Judgment Day colleague, Finn Balor,
07:58who's actually out here in support of Dom, which I find a little, well, wasn't expecting it.
08:03It's interesting, last night as Dom's on the early attack here,
08:06as he came to our post show set in front of thousands of fans outside of Legion Stadium,
08:11Michael, and he was not bashful about celebrating the moment.
08:15He said, I solidified myself.
08:17He said, people said, I'll never be as good as your dad.
08:19He said, I'm now the greatest Mysterio of all time, and this is exactly the explosiveness
08:24that we're seeing out of Penta.
08:25And it's interesting you bring up that quote because on the Pat McAfee show this morning,
08:29John Cena was a guest.
08:30John Cena said that he believes Dominic Mysterio at the end of his career may be better
08:36than his father ever was.
08:38Wow.
08:39That is a massive statement considering the longevity of the Hall of Famer.
08:44Now you sit here and you say we got a quick turnaround for the Intercontinental Championship.
08:49You wonder who that favors.
08:51And Michael, I would offer this as Dom looks to go,
08:54Flyman Stead eats that big kick from Penta.
08:57But perhaps not as much as asked of Dom yesterday in the Fatal 4-Way.
09:02Off the top with the cross body.
09:04Because early on in that match, he was teamed up with Finn Balor for a lot of the work,
09:09while Penta was a target on his own as he goes flying.
09:13Man, man, 24 hours after crowning a new IC champ.
09:17Could we be doing it again?
09:18Penta's got momentum and he's cooking.
09:21Look at him fly.
09:23Back here in Vegas for Monday Night Raw,
09:29as Penta challenging dirty Dom Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship.
09:35And looking to rally here 24 hours after Dom Mysterio run the Fatal 4-Way to earn it.
09:42And now Penta keying in on that target, right into the cover, hook of the leg.
09:48As Finn Balor looks on, Finn Balor, of course, was part of that Fatal 4-Way.
09:58Finn Balor was in prime position to possibly win the title.
10:02But then all of a sudden, Dirty Dom took advantage with a well-timed frog splash.
10:06He was looking for the Penta driver, but instead the counter by Dirty Dom to retain.
10:12And the kick out by Penta.
10:21And here the concern from Michael Cole as unique circumstances as to why Cole and
10:27I are here ringside to call this championship match.
10:30Gunther moments ago came down, had a vicious exchange with Michael Cole and
10:35Pat McAfee.
10:36Ended up a rear naked choke hold on Pat McAfee.
10:39As Dominic looks to try to put this away right here.
10:43And the shoulder up.
10:45And it was really horrible and disgusting to see as Pat McAfee.
10:49Can you guys get an update on Pat, please, at some point?
10:51Which obviously concerns all of us ringside.
10:54The health and welfare and the medical conditions for our beloved college.
10:59Michael, you yourself took some damage there.
11:01And I give you credit for coming out here and serving the fans and joining me on this call.
11:05I mean, again, Joe, it's not about me, it's about all of us.
11:08It's commentators, right?
11:09We're brethren.
11:10And you can let a guy hijack the show and be a bully like that.
11:15We're an important part of this machine as well.
11:18And look at Penta now.
11:22Lining it up.
11:23He wants it.
11:24He did it a night ago.
11:26And there it is, Mexican Destroyer.
11:28What a move by Penta, and that could turn things around.
11:36Finn Balor looks out with concern, and just when he thought things were in grasp, Dom rolls out of the ring.
11:45The newly minted Intercontinental Champion.
11:48First singles title in the career of Dom Mysterio's.
11:53He points to Finn Balor, he says, take care of business for me, will you please?
11:56Well, Penta-
11:57Man, man, hurricane run out onto the floor on Finn Balor, Michael.
12:02Absolutely incredible.
12:04Finn was trying, I don't know if he was trying to encourage Dom or what the case may be, but it backfired either way.
12:09And now, Penta, he's gonna climb up top.
12:16Look at Carlito.
12:18Hey!
12:19What in the world?
12:20That's J.D. McDonough who just pushed him off.
12:23He's been out injured for months.
12:27619 by Dom.
12:29J.D. McDonough all of a sudden arrives.
12:33Frog Splash.
12:34Dom Mysterio.
12:36First title defense.
12:39Here is your winner and still Intercontinental Champion, Dirty Dominik Mysterio.
12:56Tess, you had to believe that Dirty Dom was gonna have something up his sleeve.
13:02J.D. McDonough from out of nowhere.
13:07The dropkick into the 619.
13:10As Carlito, by the way, was distracting Eddie Arango and Finn Balor was hesitating.
13:15Just watching this all unfold and then the Frog Splash for victory.
13:20And that is how the championship reign of Dirty Dom looks one day in.
13:28And suddenly, Tess, the Judgment Day is back in full strength.
13:33And look who's here to celebrate.
13:37The tag team champions.
13:40Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan, Dirty Dom Mysterio.
13:46He retains.
13:51Now, Michael, we'll give you just a moment of pause and throw the chaos back here.
13:55Oh, thanks for coming out here.
13:56We're gonna put a sport coat on and join you here.
13:58But again, we are dealing with a very troubling situation.
14:01Our cherished colleague Pat McAfee was attacked by Gunther.
14:05Michael, you yourself, you were able to move on and return here to cover the event.
14:10And once again, we are protected in doing our job to serve the fans,
14:15to give you opinions, to give you analysis, and fully document the event on our terms.
14:22No matter how much that bothers Gunther, you never lay hands on the announce team.
14:28And right now, the concern is Pat McAfee's welfare.
14:31Trying to get an update on Pat as soon as we can.
14:33But hey, let's get back to business.
14:35Moments ago, one of the most celebrated luchadors nearly took a title.
14:39And meanwhile, WrestleMania this weekend, a more controversial and questionable luchador
14:45was celebrating a victory.
14:47Rejoice.
14:54Can't this my kingdom grow out of here?
14:58Despite insurmountable opposition from his jealous, desperate, rule-breaking foes.
15:04Headbutted him right in the face.
15:07Phoenix could be out of course.
15:10One, two, three.
15:13El Grande Americano has emerged victorious on the grandest stage of them all.
15:19El Grande Americano wins his WrestleMania debut.
15:29The children sing of his honesty and humility.
15:33The world stands in awe of his talent and honor.
15:38He has reclaimed his throne as the king of lucha libre.
15:45Today, we celebrate the legend, the icon, the hero, El Grande Americano.
15:58The two men who created arguably the most jaw-dropping, purely shocking, industry-altering moment of the weekend.
16:11Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman by his side, they join us live next.
16:16Now.
16:23Burn it down!

16:54Tele Gee
16:58Ladies and gentlemen,
17:04please welcome accompanied by the wise man,
17:08Paul Heyman, Sam Frickin' Rollins.
17:15There's a lot, Joe, that I'd love to say about Rollins and Heyman,
17:20but I'm gonna keep my thoughts to myself tonight.
17:23Well, Michael, it was two weeks ago tonight that you were right here
17:29when Seth Rollins nearly stomped Paul Heyman's head through the ring.
17:33And that was two nights ago when they go from that to not even needing eye contact
17:38or any form of communication to team up against Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
17:42And now here they are, united.
17:45Well, you know, excuse me.
17:48Are you okay, do you need anything?
17:50I'm good.
17:51Paul Heyman was on Pat's show this morning and I asked him the question,
17:56how long was this plan in place?
17:59Never answered it.
18:00How much did you pay Seth to get back involved?
18:06Never answered.
18:07Hopefully get some answers tonight.
18:21The winner of the historic Triple Threat Match.
18:28The guy who said the winner of that will define his career and
18:35the industry in the coming years, Seth Rollins with Paul Heyman now by his side.
18:43Love you.
18:44I'm burning down.
18:48Oh, my God!
19:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:48C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R.
20:18C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R.
20:28C.M.R.
20:48C.M.R., C.M.R.
21:06C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R., C.M.R.
21:16I am a revolutionary.
21:19I am a visionary.
21:25I took a wise man from Roman Reigns.
21:34I stole C.M.Punk's best friend.
21:41I am the winner of the main event of WrestleMania.
21:55I am.
22:02Boy.
22:04Well, what he is is a guy getting a visit from his bitter rival.
22:10Jacket's off.
22:23Well, Paul Heyman can't be happy either.
22:25Consider this man his best friend and they stab him in the back.
22:29That right hand is wrapped for damage for clobbering time.
22:34Punk's here for a fight, Joe.
22:36Here they go.
22:37Punk, Rollins, 48 hours after the Mania main event.
22:42And Punk taking out all that frustration.
22:46Just beating down Rollins into the corner.
22:51Right hand after right hand and stomp after stomp right on to him.
22:55One, two, three, two.
22:59CM Punk now is gonna turn his attention to the quote unquote career best friend.
23:05You better roll out of that ring, Paul.
23:12The distraction by Heyman.
23:18No.
23:34No, stop.
23:35No, stop.
23:56Well, Heyman paid some dividends there distracting Punk to allow Rollins to hit the stomp.
24:01We are going to conclude the weekend of WrestleMania 41.
24:28By propelling the news all the way to WrestleMania 42.
24:40There is a new reigning, defending, undisputed number one top star in this entire
24:57entire industry.
25:02Ladies and gentlemen, Seth Faridkin Rowling.
25:10He declares him a number one top star.
25:17But a tribal chief is here too.
25:22Another man who is betrayed, stacked in the back.
25:35And Joe Roman Reyes is fixing for a fight.
25:41Look at Paul Heyman's face.
25:56Here comes Roman.
26:12Spear!
26:15A massive spear!
26:18And now, Roman Reyes!
26:21Roman Reyes!
26:23Roman Reyes!
26:24Roman Reyes!
26:25Roman Reyes!
26:26Roman Reyes!
26:27Roman Reyes!
26:28Roman Reyes!
26:29Superman Punch!
26:30My!
26:31Wise Man isn't so wise now, is he?
26:35And I don't think Roman's done yet.
26:37Roman's not done yet.
26:38Roman's not done yet.
26:40Roman Reyes!
26:41Roman Reyes!
26:46No.
26:47He's lining up the spear, Heyman!
26:49Are you kidding me?
26:54My God!
26:56That was a human missile intercept!
27:00Broadway!
27:01Broad Breaker!
27:02Jordan Reyes!
27:03Brown Reyes!
27:04Grant!
27:05Halle, Ray!
27:06Sparrow!
27:07Sparrow!
27:08Sparrow!
27:09Sparrow!
27:13Training!
27:14Sparrow!
27:15Sparrow!
27:16Sparrow!
27:17Sparrow!
27:20Sparrow!
27:27Sparrow!
27:29No, Joe, he's not done yet.
27:47He's coming to the outside.
27:48Roman's defenseless.
27:50Big uppercut back.
27:59Rocking a rifle of Braun Breaker.
28:04He's revving up the engine.
28:06He's thinking Super Spear, 23 miles an hour, right through Timekeeper.
28:11The devastating force,
28:22speed, velocity, and the unexpected arrival of Braun Breaker
28:28into the fray.
28:29Paul Heyman has apparently changed the game again.
28:38Listen, if you're playing the chessboard of this industry for
28:46the long term future, Braun Breaker is the piece that you want.
28:51And here comes Seth Rollins again with a stomp of CM Punk.
28:57So Roman has taken multiple spears, and Punk has taken multiple stops.
29:02And just when you thought you knew how Paul Heyman was playing,
29:05that chessboard perhaps is three moves ahead.
29:07some other games already mentioned in India isn't Marvel.
29:14Chinese songs.
29:14Jesus clubhouse tracks, Jesus clubhouse tracks.
29:16It's Why am I all not enough now.
29:18I love you.
29:19You.
29:20You.
29:20Me.
29:21God%, we.
29:21God%, we.
29:22war當然, men.
29:24Charge, fight, come on!
29:30Go, Federer.
29:30God!
29:31God 50's.
29:31God% Pastor.
29:32God, come on.
29:32God, come on.
29:33Thank God.
29:34God.
29:35God.
29:3648 hours after shocking the world by forging an alliance with Seth Rollins.
29:44Has the wise man solidified Braun Breaker as the next Paul Heyman guy?
