00:06:02It's a new day, yes it is
00:06:04It's a new day, yes it is
00:06:06Now I want to give you a way out of this beating
00:06:14Because I still believe in you
00:06:16I just have a couple of things I want you to do for me tonight
00:06:20The first thing is I want you to join the Final Testament live here on RAW tonight
00:06:29Don't listen to them
00:06:31And, the second thing I want you to do is
00:06:33I want you to tell all the little kids at home watching, that the power of positivity was always one big lie.
00:06:42And here's the last thing, and this one is not that big of a deal, but it's really important to me.
00:06:46I want you to tell that one-armed bastard Kofi Kingston, that he should have retired after he lost the WWE title in just six seconds.
00:06:56Ah, and Xavier Woods has heard enough, and he goes right after Karrion Kross.
00:07:00Bell rings, match underway, and Woods unloading on Kross.
00:07:03One last attempt to sway Xavier Woods by Karrion Kross, and instead he just disrespects him.
00:07:10Yeah, Woods isn't gonna hear it, and Xavier Woods now sends Kross to the floor.
00:07:14Xavier Woods, former king of the ring, has taken control over Karrion Kross in a fight.
00:07:22We're back live on Monday Night Raw, we're 13,000 tonight, St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:07:26The final raw before Summerslam.
00:07:29Xavier Woods, Karrion Kross, one-on-one.
00:07:33What happened during the commercial break, and how Kross turned things around in this matchup.
00:07:40And Xavier Woods looking to rally.
00:07:42Again, Kofi Kingston out here tonight, re-aggravating his shoulder injury in Japan over the weekend.
00:07:47You guys dead, you hear me? It's dead!
00:07:52Karrion Kross seems to believe that New Day is done for.
00:07:55A great throw by Kross.
00:07:56Has been obsessive over him.
00:08:00Xavier Woods to join him in the final testament, which are obviously ringside here tonight.
00:08:04Cover by Kross.
00:08:08Kross claims he's done so much for Xavier Woods.
00:08:12Wanted him to stand on his own two feet, to finally break free from the New Day.
00:08:30Kross has said all along that I'm going to beat you up each and every week.
00:08:35And eventually you're going to get tired and make the right choice to join the final testament.
00:08:40But Xavier Woods...
00:08:42Rebellious at every turn.
00:08:44He's certainly done a weird way of recruiting Xavier Woods through it all, and now...
00:08:49Woods showing his speed.
00:08:50The former king of the ring takes down Kross and here comes Woods.
00:08:57Xavier Woods showcasing that ability.
00:09:00Making him a Hall of Famer someday with his work for the New Day.
00:09:07Uh-oh, roll-up.
00:09:09Kick-out by Kross at two.
00:09:12On a cheap shot.
00:09:13There it is.
00:09:14By Akam of the AOP.
00:09:18And now Kross lifting Woods up.
00:09:21Woods, though, lands on his feet.
00:09:23Big kick in the face of Karrion Kross.
00:09:25And Woods looking to pull off a major win here tonight.
00:09:28Outnumbered of course.
00:09:29Down goes Akam of the AOP.
00:09:33And Rezard driven into the ring post.
00:09:36And Kross runs into a big boot.
00:09:40Xavier Woods is telling the entire final testament there's levels to this thing.
00:09:45Elbow and Kross rolled out of harm's way.
00:09:49And now we're going to take advantage of what was a numbers advantage with the final prayer to Xavier Woods.
00:09:57One, two, three.
00:10:03Here's your winner, Karrion Kross!
00:10:09It was a numbers game all along, Cole.
00:10:11The question, Pat, is this.
00:10:15Is Xavier Woods getting worn down?
00:10:18Do you think he'll finally give in to the request of Karrion Kross in the final testament?
00:10:25You know, they say if you can't beat him, you've got to join him.
00:10:27But that's a former king of the ring there.
00:10:32Of course, we are in Minnesota tonight for Monday Night Raw as we welcome home.
00:10:37Welcome back to WWE.
00:10:39Jesse, the Body Ventura.
00:10:42Earlier today, greeted by our Chief Content Officer, Triple H.
00:10:46Jesse Ventura, of course, a former governor here in the state of Minnesota.
00:10:50A WWE Hall of Famer.
00:10:52Considered one of the greatest color commentators of all time here in WWE.
00:10:57Won titles in the AWA and the NWA.
00:11:00An actor, of course, for Predator and Running Man.
00:11:03A former Navy underwater demolition team expert.
00:11:07Welcome home, Jesse Ventura.
00:11:12Go backstage. It's Jackie Redman.
00:11:17Cole, thank you so much.
00:11:18I am here with Sami Zayn.
00:11:19Sami, I know you are just minutes away from taking on Dominic Mysterio.
00:11:23And days away from defending this very title.
00:11:25But I was hoping to get your reaction to what Braun Breaker had to say earlier tonight.
00:11:30Well, I think it's funny that he thinks I'm going to lose this match at SummerSlam.
00:11:33Because I'm too focused on a comedy show that I'm doing the night before.
00:11:36But if I remember, I did a comedy show the night before Money in the Bank in Toronto.
00:11:40And I still beat him.
00:11:42Okay?
00:11:44He even said it himself.
00:11:45The reason that I beat him is because he took it as a foregone conclusion.
00:11:48That he was just going to destroy me.
00:11:50He was going to plow me.
00:11:51And he was going to get the Intercontinental Championship just like that.
00:11:53He underestimated me.
00:11:55And clearly, he's not doing that anymore.
00:11:57And I know that because he's taking every opportunity to jump me week after week from behind.
00:12:02Even last week.
00:12:04When I finally get a nice moment.
00:12:05I finally get to share the ring again with my Uso.
00:12:08My dog, Jey Uso.
00:12:11Reunited finally in the ring.
00:12:14And yet again, a cheap shot from behind.
00:12:16So every week, spear after spear after spear.
00:12:19It's fine. I get it.
00:12:20He's a young guy. He's hungry.
00:12:22And he wants the Intercontinental Championship.
00:12:23It's fine.
00:12:25But this time around, my attitude is different too.
00:12:28This time, it's not about trying to teach a young guy to respect me.
00:12:31It's not about trying to teach anybody any lessons.
00:12:33This time, it's just about beating his ass at SummerSlam.
00:12:37And as far as Judgment Day and Dominik Mysterio.
00:12:41I'm going to go handle that business right now.
00:12:48The Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn.
00:12:51Who is also being pulled in many different directions.
00:12:56Tonight has to focus on Dominik Mysterio.
00:13:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:13:03Introducing first, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
00:13:06Weighing in at 212 pounds.
00:13:09He is the Intercontinental Champion.
00:13:14Sami Zayn.
00:13:21You heard Sami mention the comedy show.
00:13:25You heard Sami mention the comedy show.
00:13:28Well, right after SmackDown.
00:13:30Sami Zayn in French Duke, Cleveland.
00:13:32At the Agora this Friday, August 2nd at 11pm Eastern.
00:13:36Not too late to secure your tickets.
00:13:38At wwe.com slash events.
00:13:41Sami made a good point.
00:13:43Didn't let the comedy show bog him down.
00:13:45At Money in the Bank, when he knocked off Braun Braker.
00:13:47Looks to do the same at SummerSlam this weekend.
00:13:51But up next.
00:13:52Sami Zayn and Dirty Dom.
00:13:55Live on Monday Night Raw.
00:14:04I got an idea.
00:14:05You want to participate in the SummerSlam photo experience.
00:14:09At Tower City Center in Cleveland.
00:14:11Yeah, oh yeah, definitely.
00:14:13You can get your tickets today for photo ops with your favorite talent.
00:14:16Also at Tower City at the SummerSlam store.
00:14:19Be posted live.
00:14:20The store opens this Thursday, August 1st.
00:14:23To shop the largest selection of SummerSlam merchandise.
00:14:26I can't wait. I'm going to be there first one in line probably.
00:14:33Do you know how it feels to have your heart ripped out?
00:14:38Takes your breath away.
00:14:41Feels like you can barely even breathe.
00:14:46I would have done anything for you, Dominik.
00:14:49I put you on a pedestal.
00:14:52I treated you like the man that I thought that you were.
00:14:57You're not a man.
00:15:00You're just Rhea's little bitch.
00:15:06I wish that I can take back every single tear that I wasted on you.
00:15:10But I can't.
00:15:12All I can do now is make your and Rhea's life a living hell.
00:15:21At SummerSlam, I will complete the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour.
00:15:26When I beat Rhea Ripley and leave Dominik with whatever's left of his precious little mommy.
00:15:34Meanwhile, I'll be standing in that ring.
00:15:38My arm raised as I hear those three little words.
00:15:48Women's World Champion.
00:15:55Watch me.
00:16:04Fatal attraction much?
00:16:06Seems to be taking it all very well.
00:16:09Seems to be going good.
00:16:11There's Sami Zayn. He's got Dom tonight, but Saturday at SummerSlam.
00:16:15The man he knocked off at Money in the Bank in Toronto comes back for more.
00:16:19The unpredictable, badass, Brawn Breaker vows to win the Intercontinental Championship.
00:16:24Can the underdog from the underground keep the title Saturday at SummerSlam?
00:16:36And his opponent, representing the judgement gate, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 200 pounds.
00:16:49Dirty Dominik Mysterio.
00:16:55You know, I may be missing something. I don't get it.
00:17:00I don't get it. I mean, Liv Morgan fell in love with the dude. Rhea Ripley's in love with the guy.
00:17:07How is Dominik in a love triangle with those two? I don't get it.
00:17:11None of us understand because he is the Michael Phelps of insufferability.
00:17:16He's certainly got himself in a couple precarious situations, but this dirtbag has everything coming to him and we know that.
00:17:24So, this is what I'm talking about.
00:17:26Rhea Ripley sent out a tweet that was almost a love letter to Dominik Mysterio.
00:17:33This is what it actually said, Pat. It said,
00:17:36My rebel love from enemies to you captivating my heart.
00:17:46You put a smile on my face.
00:17:48Riveting read there by you, Michael Cole.
00:17:51Certainly a confusing situation for Dominik and Liv as she's burning his merch and he's out here showcasing to the crowd how bad he sucks.
00:18:03Dominik last week broke Liv's heart.
00:18:06Liv was expecting Dominik to tell the world that he loved her and basically tore her apart.
00:18:16Yeah, it was like one of those engagements that happen in public and somebody actually says no.
00:18:21And Dominik now taking out his frustration on Sami Zayn and the Intercontinental Champion now fighting back.
00:18:26Let's turn our attention to Sami for a moment.
00:18:28How does he beat Braun Breaker again this time at SummerSlam?
00:18:32Yeah, he's hoping that Braun Breaker doesn't focus and doesn't take him seriously.
00:18:37I don't know if that's going to be the case for Braun Breaker.
00:18:39He seemingly learns from his mistakes. At least I hope so.
00:18:44Dirty Dom.
00:18:46Sami is in the top rope.
00:18:48So good, so clever, so pretty. There's a reason he's our champion.
00:18:53Sami four time Intercontinental Champion.
00:18:57Off the top rope, springboard moonsault takes out Dominik.
00:19:03Sami's taking over on Raw.
00:19:06And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:19:1413,000 plus here tonight in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:19:17Final Raw before SummerSlam and Dirty Dominik Mysterio has taken over Sami Zayn.
00:19:22Taking the fight to the Intercontinental Champion.
00:19:24Sami can now afford an injury five nights away from his title defense with Braun Breaker at SummerSlam.
00:19:30Here is how Dominik took over this match during the commercial break.
00:19:35Sami into the ring post.
00:19:37Yeah, I was trying to call for a timeout too.
00:19:40Sami said let's get this thing back in the ring and the cheeky bastard did it.
00:19:44Dominik Mysterio flipped the course of the entire match.
00:19:47Sami Zayn's in one now.
00:19:48Dominik with tremendous stamina as of late.
00:19:52It has to be exhausting what he's been going through.
00:19:55And Dominik Tornado DDT plants Sami center of the ring.
00:19:59Sami center of the ring calls to the cover.
00:20:01Hook to the leg of the champ and a kick out by Zayn.
00:20:07Sami Zayn only a few sleeps away from Braun Breaker who's getting the best from Dominik Mysterio right now.
00:20:13Dominik seemingly refocused with Mommy back around.
00:20:17Remotivated. Reinspired.
00:20:22That was a rough few weeks for Dominik.
00:20:29His mustache is obviously something that nobody would want to see in a mirror.
00:20:34Rhea obviously likes it.
00:20:36None of us really understand that.
00:20:38Sami leapfrogged up over the top and a clothesline.
00:20:41And Sami looking to rally. Dominik taken down by the clothesline by Zayn.
00:20:44And here comes the Intercontinental Champion.
00:20:47Here comes that championship, Greg.
00:20:51Now goes Dom.
00:20:59And Sami Zayn looking for the blue thunder bomb.
00:21:02Great counter by Dom.
00:21:04Well studied. Second generation.
00:21:07Yeah Mysterio now.
00:21:12Looking to pull off the three amigos made famous by the late great Eddie Guerrero.
00:21:19And a third by Dominik.
00:21:23And now gonna head up top and...
00:21:28A lot of people say this Dirtbag's only here because of who his dad is.
00:21:32That would be Rey Mysterio. Eddie would have raised best friends and went for the splash, roll through.
00:21:37His connections. Uh-oh, Sami.
00:21:39With the exploder!
00:21:44Partially the reason why everybody hates him.
00:21:47Sami the complete opposite.
00:21:52And now look at who's here. Carlito and JD.
00:21:56From the Judgment Day. Dominik from behind.
00:21:58We're gonna pull off a big win over Zayn off the destruction and a kick out at two.
00:22:03There was obviously conversation earlier about Dominik Mysterio handling this alone, but of course not.
00:22:08Yeah, well Carlito's the one that got Dominik in the match in the first place with the general manager and set it up.
00:22:15Back drop by Zayn. Carlito up on the apron.
00:22:18Sami gonna make him pay. McDonough on the other side went after the tag champ.
00:22:24Dominik from behind.
00:22:27Now another move he ripped off from his dad. Went for the 619 and Sami Zayn intercepted.
00:22:35Sami's been watching his dad do that his entire life.
00:22:37Blue Thunder Bomb!
00:22:40Carlito and JD McDonough. This match is gonna get thrown out.
00:22:43Gonna be a disqualification. 3 on 1 assault perhaps coming on Zayn.
00:22:48This Judgment Day just ruins the show every time.
00:22:51On the Judgment Day trying to take care of their Sami Zayn problem tonight.
00:22:58McDonough and Carlito just stomping the hell out of the Intercontinental Champion.
00:23:05Sami's got some backup. Jey Uso's here.
00:23:09Obviously made of that Jey Uso.
00:23:13With a spear to McDonough.
00:23:20And Dominik sent flying as well.
00:23:26Time to eat.
00:23:30Down go Judgment Day.
00:23:33Who have yet to solve the Sami Zayn and Jey Uso problem.
00:23:38Sami Zayn.
00:23:43Oh my goodness!
00:23:45Breaker from behind.
00:23:50St. Paul is barking with Bron Breaker.
00:23:54Look at the smile on the face of the number one contender.
00:23:58Sami though. Sami with a boot. Breaker's down.
00:24:03Exploder into the corner.
00:24:07Sami Zayn is fired up and ready for SummerSlam.
00:24:12And Breaker gonna retreat.
00:24:16But that's the heart. That's the guts out of Sami Zayn.
00:24:20That's what got Sami Zayn past Bron Breaker the first time around.
00:24:25And he looks to do it again at SummerSlam.
00:24:27Bron Breaker was looking to make Sami Zayn be at 50%.
00:24:32And instead Sami Zayn flips the script and says get this dog out of my ring.
00:24:37And Breaker tried to ambush again and again Sami Zayn made him pay.
00:24:44The veteran Zayn. The intercontinental champion will not be denied.
00:24:49The veteran Zayn. The intercontinental champion will not be denied.
00:24:58And Sami Zayn once again tonight Pat.
00:25:02Showing you the guts and the grit that has made him the underdog from the underground.
00:25:07And that's what Breaker has to face at SummerSlam.
00:25:09And that's why the people, myself included, love Sami Zayn.
00:25:13But this Bron Breaker's different.
00:25:15If he can focus for one night in Cleveland in the Dog Pound.
00:25:18We're looking at a new champion. Sami understands that.
00:25:21Talk about different. What about earlier tonight?
00:25:24The Wyatt Six attacking Gable and the Creed Brothers.
00:25:29Well one of the Wyatt Six.
00:25:32Gonna be shown again here tonight at one of those therapy sessions.
00:25:36Let's take a look.
00:25:46A man, just looking for mercy.
00:25:52They built their empire next to the sea.
00:25:56And laughed.
00:26:00As they watched you drown.
00:26:03In a sea of blood.
00:26:06In a sea of blood.
00:26:09In a sea of blood.
00:26:12In a sea of blood.
00:26:15In a sea of blood.
00:26:18But there's freedom in sinking.
00:26:22Look at what you've become.
00:26:28Tell me, brother.
00:26:35Tell me.
00:26:38What should they do when the buzzards start circling?
00:26:43What should they do?
00:26:52Run!
00:27:07Once again Master Gable at work.
00:27:10I'm doing everybody else's job.
00:27:12I figured out the identities of the remaining members of the Wyatt Six.
00:27:16Joe Gacy, Dexter Loomis, and Eric Rowan.
00:27:20Yeah, I know that. They're under WWE contract.
00:27:23Oh, they're under contract, right. So they can compete is what you're telling me.
00:27:27Generally that's how it works. What is your point?
00:27:29My point is, next week on Raw, me and the Creed Brothers versus those three freaks.
00:27:34Six man tag. Make it happen.
00:27:37You guys are sure you're...
00:27:39Of course that's what I want.
00:27:41Make it happen.
00:27:45Consider it official.
00:27:48You know I like you.
00:27:52Careful what you ask for.
00:27:55What is wrong with Jack Gable?
00:27:57I don't know, but there's nothing wrong with what Adam Pearce just did, which is a huge surprise.
00:28:02Yeah, six man tag match next week.
00:28:04Wyatt Six debut.
00:28:06Gable should be a tactic.
00:28:09Big brain on that guy.
00:28:15Wait for the win.
00:28:30Here we go.
00:28:33The following is a six woman tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:28:38Introducing first, the team of Lyra Valkyria,
00:28:43Kayden Carter,
00:28:45and Katana Smith.
00:28:47Well earlier tonight, you saw Sonya, Shania, and Zoey beat up Zelina Vega
00:28:53in the locker room area.
00:28:55Now Lyra, Katana, and Kayden come for revenge.
00:29:00It's party time baby!
00:29:05These three in a six woman tag team match
00:29:08against the dangerous Deville Group
00:29:11that happens live next Monday Night Raw.
00:29:21Still real excited.
00:29:25Blue and Morgan.
00:29:28You want to burn and break things that don't belong to you.
00:29:33You so badly, so badly want to be the victim in your little revenge tour fantasy.
00:29:42That's all it is.
00:29:45A fantasy.
00:29:47The reality is that this sad day at SummerSlam,
00:29:52your little revenge tour, it comes to an end.
00:29:57There's no more running.
00:29:58There's no more hiding.
00:30:00There's no more manipulating.
00:30:03You thought that I was brutal last time I attacked your shoulder.
00:30:10But that's what happens after I warned you multiple times to stay out of my business.
00:30:16Now, now you've not only taken three months of my career by injuring my shoulder,
00:30:26touche by the way,
00:30:29but you've taken my championship.
00:30:32You've tried to manipulate my family, my Latino heat.
00:30:39You so badly want me to be the demon in your little fantasy dream.
00:30:46But at SummerSlam, it's time that I get my revenge.
00:30:56Yeah, uh, good luck Liv.
00:30:59Meanwhile, SummerSlam is sponsored by Mike's Harder Lemonade.
00:31:02Hard days deserve a hard lemonade.
00:31:04But when you've had a really hard day, like these WWE superstars in the ring,
00:31:08you need a lemonade that hits harder.
00:31:10You need Mike's Harder Lemonade.
00:31:14Lyra Katana Caden, set for six-woman tag team action here on Raw.
00:31:25And their opponents, the team of Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler, and Sonya Ruffins.
00:31:43A trouble's been brewing between these six women over the past few weeks.
00:31:48Last week, Sonya went one-on-one with Lyra Valkyria
00:31:51before Zoey and Shayna would pay dividends.
00:31:57Tonya Deville turned things around,
00:32:01but Deville's an advocate to knock off Lyra Valkyria.
00:32:06And then later on in the night,
00:32:09Belayna Vega one-on-one with Zoey Stark, bad arm and all.
00:32:13Shayna tried to get involved again before Lyra and company would come down to neutralize things.
00:32:19Belayna Vega pulling off a big win over Zoey Stark.
00:32:22They were so upset about that, Stark and company,
00:32:25they attacked Zelina earlier on tonight, sent her to the trainer's room.
00:32:30And Lyra and Carter and Chance are obviously just sick of these three thinking they can do whatever they want.
00:32:38This is what Sonya Deville does.
00:32:40Comes in and causes complete chaos and doesn't follow any rules.
00:32:46You know, injures Zelina.
00:32:48I mean, this is classic Sonya Deville.
00:32:51Well, Sonya Deville and company have taken out Zelina and Lyra and Katana and Cade.
00:32:56Damage control as well over the past number of weeks and become a very dangerous group.
00:33:03Shayna has said all along that Sonya saw something in her and Zoey
00:33:07and has just brought them together to form this trio.
00:33:11They're ruthless.
00:33:12They have the right mentality and the only question is,
00:33:15oh, what a right from Sonya there to Lyra's jaw.
00:33:18The only question is, are they going to be able to remain on the same page?
00:33:23Sonya, of course, with a new tie-in jiu-jitsu background.
00:33:25And here comes Shayna Baszler, who dominated at Bloodsport this past weekend.
00:33:29Zoey Stark makes the tag as well.
00:33:31Wore her black belt out here.
00:33:35Like a sniper, the missile dropkick by Zoey.
00:33:38Cover, hook of the leg, and a kickout by Valkyria.
00:33:43Look at this springboard missile dropkick.
00:33:46Right to the heart.
00:33:48Of course, the current tag team champions in the women's division, Alba Fire and Isla Dawn.
00:33:53They defend tomorrow night at NXT.
00:33:56Night one of the Great American Bash.
00:33:58Against last legend, Takara Jackson of Meta 4.
00:34:01The winner will take on Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill Friday night on SmackDown.
00:34:07For the tag team title, Zoey.
00:34:09Busy week in the women's division.
00:34:11Now the double team from former tag team champions, Carter and Chance.
00:34:14The triple team, you mean.
00:34:16Double step-up throw there.
00:34:18Thank you.
00:34:19No problem.
00:34:20Zoey misses wildly.
00:34:22Caden Carter with a kick to the face.
00:34:26Now Lyra Valkyria sends Zoey.
00:34:28And Lyra and company rolling here on Monday Night Raw.
00:34:37Live Monday Night Raw.
00:34:38Six-woman tag team match.
00:34:40Deville, Stark, and Basil dominating Lyra Valkyria right now.
00:34:45And Sonya's putting together a pretty dangerous group here, Pat.
00:34:48Yeah, they're all rolling in the same direction as well.
00:34:50Shouts to the Minnesota Gophers and PJ Fletch.
00:34:53But that's kind of the culture that Sonya Deville has right now.
00:34:56Tag made. Here comes Deville.
00:35:00Tags in and out, keeping each other fresh.
00:35:02One, two, three.
00:35:04Sonya with the big right hands in the midsection of Valkyria.
00:35:07Yeah, they're doing like interval training of ass beating.
00:35:10Lyra desperately needs a tag.
00:35:12Yeah, Lyra trying to fight out of the corner.
00:35:14Up over the top.
00:35:16Almost got there. Sonya Deville.
00:35:20Will that allow her to make the tag?
00:35:23Lyra, though, creates space.
00:35:26Tag made. Here comes Caden Carter.
00:35:29The unorthodox uncanny.
00:35:31Caden Carter, former tag team champion.
00:35:35Both here in WWE and down in NXT as well.
00:35:40He's putting Shayna in his blender right now.
00:35:43Yeah, as gritty as they come. Loves the high flying attack too.
00:35:47Loves good vibes and flying around.
00:35:50Shayna Baszler is lost in the ring.
00:35:53Big right hand by Caden.
00:35:55Stunned Baszler.
00:35:58Caden Carter roll up.
00:36:01Oh, bang. What a kick.
00:36:04Shayna Baszler, a massive Minnesota Vikings fan.
00:36:08Obviously hate to just get embarrassed here in town.
00:36:13Carter with a leg drop.
00:36:15Off the springboard.
00:36:17And a kick out by Shayna.
00:36:19That could have been it right there.
00:36:21That was close. Two and a half count.
00:36:23You know Sonya wouldn't have been able to handle her team losing.
00:36:26She would have lost her mind.
00:36:29Oh, did you hear that?
00:36:31Right in front of us. Tag made. Here's Zoey.
00:36:36Double team coming from the dangerous Stark.
00:36:39And Shayna Baszler though.
00:36:41Caden's in. Zoey flying.
00:36:43Baszler sent through the second rope out to the floor.
00:36:46They were looking to do that alley-oop.
00:36:50Tag made by Chance.
00:36:52Chance legal up over the top. Now, Lyra makes the tag.
00:36:57Carter and Chance. Oh, face first.
00:37:00Lyra lifting Zoey up.
00:37:03Looking to put her away here.
00:37:06Sit-out powerbomb.
00:37:08And from behind, Baszler with a running knee.
00:37:10And now DeVille with a running knee as well.
00:37:13Cover by Stark.
00:37:14Kick to the face by Carter.
00:37:16Sonya and Shayna were taking a victory lap.
00:37:18And Carter and Chance saved the entire match.
00:37:23And now pulling Lyra to the corner.
00:37:25Tag made. Here comes Caden Carter.
00:37:27Happy we got a legal tag there.
00:37:29Respecting the rules.
00:37:30Tag by Chance.
00:37:32Double team coming. Katana Chance going to go up top.
00:37:35And the Orango keeping everything in check.
00:37:38It looked like she was looking for the after-party
00:37:40before Sonya DeVille dragged Carter out of the ring.
00:37:44And now Zoey Stark.
00:37:47Rolled through by Chance for the win.
00:37:49Kick-out by Stark.
00:37:51Knee drops Chance.
00:37:55And Zoey Stark now with a Z-360.
00:37:59One, two, three.
00:38:05Here are your winners.
00:38:07The team of Sonya DeVille,
00:38:10Shayna Baszler,
00:38:12and Zoey Stark.
00:38:15Going to be hard to stop this team.
00:38:17DeVille's got something cooking with Baszler and Stark here.
00:38:21Damage control.
00:38:24Hold the phone.
00:38:29Walker's back.
00:38:35Kota, Sky, and Kairi.
00:38:37Damage control.
00:38:39March into the ring.
00:38:44A lot of talk about who runs wrong.
00:38:46And here we go and the brawl's on.
00:38:48And damage control.
00:38:50Go internet after Zoey and Shayna and Sonya DeVille.
00:38:54Line them up, knock them down, says damage control.
00:38:58EO Sky, top rope, the former women's champ.
00:39:04Over the moonsault, EO Sky wiping out DeVille and Baszler and Stark.
00:39:11Damage control is back.
00:39:19We are still in the damage control era.
00:39:23Who does run this division?
00:39:29Last week, I offered Damian Priest the easy way out for the second time in a row.
00:39:36And his reaction was a reaction of a weak man.
00:39:41Was a reaction of a weak man.
00:39:44A reaction of a man that doesn't have control over his own emotions.
00:39:49But that's okay.
00:39:51Damian Priest doesn't have to pretend anymore.
00:39:54Because I exposed him for what he really is.
00:39:57An emotional wannabe that abuses this great business as a cure for his childhood trauma.
00:40:08As far as tonight goes.
00:40:14Finn Balor.
00:40:16I used to look up to you.
00:40:19You used to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the world.
00:40:23And you still are.
00:40:25A world tag team champion.
00:40:27But let's be honest to each other.
00:40:29You and I both know you were destined for much greater things.
00:40:35But ever since you decided to surround yourself with those Judgement Day weirdos.
00:40:39You became just like what they are.
00:40:42Street.
00:40:44Trash.
00:40:46And it's gonna be my pleasure tonight to find out how much of that old Finn Balor is still left in you.
00:40:54And Damian Priest.
00:40:57I want you to know this.
00:40:59I will never forgive you.
00:41:02For abusing this great sport to cover up your pathetic existence.
00:41:09After SummerSlam.
00:41:11You and the rest of the world will forever remember the day.
00:41:16When the Ring General saved this great sport.
00:41:21And the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:41:30Welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
00:41:32I'm Cathy Kelley.
00:41:33Hoping to get in a word with Damage Control.
00:41:35Excuse me guys.
00:41:36We saw what transpired between yourself.
00:41:38Zoe Stark.
00:41:39Shayna Baszler.
00:41:40And Sonya Deville.
00:41:41The group who claims that they have been in control of Monday Night Raw during your absence.
00:41:59There is no other team in the WWE that can surpass Damage Control.
00:42:29I cut the head off the snake.
00:42:33We'll have to defer to Adam Pearce on that one.
00:42:35But this Damage Control certainly knows what they want.
00:42:38Pat Cole.
00:42:39I hope Pearce does the right thing.
00:42:40I'd love to see Dakota Kai put that Sonya Deville in her place.
00:42:43Absolutely.
00:42:44Damage Control is coming back and letting Sonya, Shayna, and Zoe know.
00:42:48They're not the only ones that are doing stuff around here.
00:42:52Monday Night Raw next week at Baltimore here on SyFy.
00:42:55SummerSlam, of course, this coming Saturday in Cleveland.
00:42:58And our buddy Jelly Roll going to be performing his song Liar as part of SummerSlam this coming Saturday.
00:43:06It's an absolute banger.
00:43:07And Jelly Roll is better live than even on any of the music lists.
00:43:12He is a phenomenal performer.
00:43:14And we know Miz is going to be hosting SummerSlam.
00:43:16And, of course, the big matchup, Hulk and McIntyre one-on-one.
00:43:19Seth Rollins, the special guest referee.
00:43:22Yeah, and he said it's his rules or you get the hell out.
00:43:25Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan.
00:43:27Rhea vows to end Morgan's Revenge Tour and take the championship.
00:43:31Yeah, Rhea, almost like she's on more of a revenge tour than Liv at this point.
00:43:35All hell's going to break loose in Cleveland.
00:43:37Logan Paul returns home to Cleveland.
00:43:39Is it finally L.A. night?
00:43:41Night.
00:43:42Yeah.
00:43:43Love that.
00:43:44But not 100% sure anybody can take on the Maverick and beat him in his hometown.
00:43:49Logan Paul, the queen of the ring, Nia Jax,
00:43:53with an opportunity at the WWE Women's Championship in Bailey.
00:43:57These two have gotten incredibly personal.
00:43:59Can't wait to see this clash in Cleveland.
00:44:02Sami Zayn proving again earlier tonight.
00:44:04It is not going to be easy for Braun Breaker
00:44:07if he wants to take the title from Sami Zayn.
00:44:09It's the party of the summer.
00:44:10And if Braun Breaker wants to continue to ascend,
00:44:13he's going to have to focus and try to knock off our gritty champion, Sami Zayn.
00:44:17The new head of the table, the self-proclaimed leader of the bloodline,
00:44:20Solo Sekoa, tries to take the WWE Undisputed Championship from Cody Rhodes.
00:44:25WWE Universe is going to be singing as Cody enters.
00:44:28Will they be singing on the way out,
00:44:29or is Solo going to finally make a real name for himself?
00:44:33And this match has suddenly turned into a battle of class.
00:44:37Damian Priest, Guther, for the World Heavyweight title.
00:44:40Yeah, Guther, self-admitted cake eater,
00:44:43taking on Damian Priest in Cleveland for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:44:48The court is stacked.
00:44:50Summerslam's near. Let's go.
00:44:56Guys, what did you expect?
00:44:58Why did you guys leave me alone out there?
00:45:00I mean, you said...
00:45:01I told you this was going to happen. Come on.
00:45:04Rhea, sis, we can't let these guys walk all over us.
00:45:06Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:45:08On second thoughts, Rhea's right.
00:45:11We all got in this mess together.
00:45:14But let's wait till after Summerslam, and we'll get out of this mess together.
00:45:18All right?
00:45:19Yeah, I agree.
00:45:20Finn, you're right.
00:45:22Look, we need to focus on Summerslam, okay?
00:45:25And I'm just going to say it again. I'm going to put it out there.
00:45:29If you need any help with Gunther tonight, we got you.
00:45:33Just say the word, man.
00:45:35How many times we got to go over this?
00:45:37Rhea, at Summerslam, you're going it alone.
00:45:40Damien, at Summerslam, you're going it alone.
00:45:43So tonight, I got to step up, and I got to go it alone.
00:45:48Or you don't think I'm good enough?
00:45:50No, no, no, no, no. That's not what we mean by this.
00:45:52Yeah, it's not like that, dude.
00:45:53Look, our problem is Gunther.
00:45:56I don't trust that he's not going to try to do something stupid.
00:45:59But as your brother, I know you can handle Gunther.
00:46:02Go out there and show him who you are.
00:46:04And as your brother, I'm going to soften up Gunther.
00:46:07So you can finish the job.
00:46:09At Summerslam.
00:46:12Let's go get ready.
00:46:16You got him, boys.
00:46:21Soften Gunther, huh?
00:46:24Easier said than done.
00:46:27Gunther!
00:46:30Gunther!
00:46:31Gunther!
00:46:32Gunther!
00:46:33Gunther!
00:46:34Gunther!
00:46:35The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:46:38Introducing first, representing Imperium from Vienna, Austria,
00:46:44weighing in at 250 pounds,
00:46:47he is the 2024 King of the Ring,
00:46:52the League Champion,
00:46:55Gunther!
00:46:59By winning the King of the Ring tournament,
00:47:02Gunther earned himself an opportunity
00:47:04at the World Heavyweight Championship Saturday
00:47:08at Summerslam.
00:47:14He is a machine.
00:47:16Gunther in action
00:47:18against one half of the Tag Team Champions from Judgment Day.
00:47:21Finn Balor, live, next.
00:47:28Smackdown Tag Team titles are on the line.
00:47:30Bianca and Jade are going to take on either the current champs,
00:47:33Fire and Dawn,
00:47:34or could be a Jakarro Jackson Lash legend from NXT.
00:47:38They battle tomorrow night.
00:47:40Monday Night Raw after Summerslam,
00:47:41right here on SyFy next week.
00:47:43Live from Baltimore, Pat,
00:47:45The Lion Six with their in-ring debut.
00:47:48Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers
00:47:50are barking up the wrong tree.
00:47:53And it has been made official
00:47:54by our general manager, Adam Pearce.
00:47:57Dakota Kai from Damage Control
00:47:59is going to go one-on-one
00:48:01with Sonya Devitt.
00:48:04Adam Pearce making good decisions tonight.
00:48:07Rarity, but still awesome.
00:48:10Can't wait for next week on SyFy.
00:48:12Can't wait for this weekend.
00:48:13It all gets underway Friday.
00:48:15Summerslam, of course, Damian Priest live at noon.
00:48:18Pat and I host the kickoff at 5 Eastern.
00:48:20Then SmackDown, Sami Zayn.
00:48:21And then Saturday, of course, The Undertaker.
00:48:241 o'clock Eastern with his One Dead Man show.
00:48:27Pat and I part a countdown to Summerslam.
00:48:29And then Summerslam, of course, at 7 Eastern,
00:48:30followed by the Summerslam post-show.
00:48:33You got to wonder if this man's going to be on the post-show,
00:48:35if he's going to win his first major championship here
00:48:37in WWE as he battles for the world heavyweight title.
00:48:48And his opponent, representing The Judgment Day,
00:48:53from Brae County, Wicklow Island,
00:48:56he is one-half of the world tag team champion,
00:49:01Finn Balor!
00:49:06So again, the question is,
00:49:07when we get to Monday Night Raw next week,
00:49:10in Baltimore, Maryland,
00:49:12who's going to be the world champ?
00:49:14Will it be Finn Balor?
00:49:16Who's going to be the world champ?
00:49:17Will it be Damian Priest of Judgment Day?
00:49:19Or will Gunther be the new world champion?
00:49:23You know, for Finn Balor, Pat,
00:49:25Summerslam means a lot to this man.
00:49:28A number of years ago,
00:49:29he became the first ever universal champion at Summerslam
00:49:34before having to relinquish the title a day later
00:49:36because of injury.
00:49:38Balor tonight, his words,
00:49:39let's just soften up Gunther before the matchup on Saturday.
00:49:45Obviously, he's a tag team champion right now
00:49:48alongside just dumb McDonough.
00:49:51J.D. McDonough.
00:49:52Yep, sorry, J.D. McDonough.
00:49:56But Finn Balor's been all around the world.
00:49:58He's been champion.
00:49:59And what's interesting about that, Pat,
00:50:01is that Gunther and Finn Balor
00:50:04have battled all around the world
00:50:06before they came to WWE
00:50:08and independent promotions throughout Europe,
00:50:12overseas, Far East.
00:50:14But Balor and Gunther have never met one-on-one.
00:50:16This is the first time they've ever been in a one-on-one matchup
00:50:19at any point in their career,
00:50:20and it happens here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:50:22I speak for every wrestling fan on Earth.
00:50:24It is an honor to be here
00:50:26and to watch these two do their thing.
00:50:28Nice side headlock takedown by Finn Balor.
00:50:31Tries to do it again,
00:50:32but Gunther able to block this time around.
00:50:34The man who won the Intercontinental Championship
00:50:36and held the title for 666 days.
00:50:40Both of these men, NXT legends, obviously.
00:50:44Much like yourself.
00:50:45Thank you.
00:50:46You said it, not me.
00:50:49We're talking about world-class in front of our eyes.
00:50:53Gunther went for the chop.
00:50:54Finn ducked underneath it,
00:50:55delivers a chop of his own,
00:50:56and that just seemed to anger the ring general.
00:51:01Oh, goodness!
00:51:05And Gunther looking for a powerbomb,
00:51:07but Balor able to block
00:51:09and showing off a little bit of his power here
00:51:11with a backdrop.
00:51:12Gunther the roll through.
00:51:13There's the basement dropkick by Finn.
00:51:16Gunther spikes Finn Balor like a beach volleyball
00:51:19in front of the Eiffel Tower.
00:51:20And Balor with a kick right to the ribs.
00:51:23And now Finn Balor stomping away on Gunther.
00:51:26Eiffel Tower over 1,000 feet tall,
00:51:28created by a man named Gerber, Eiffel.
00:51:33If you ever get in jeopardy...
00:51:37Oh, goodness!
00:51:40Boot to the face.
00:51:41Gunther's dominating.
00:51:46It's been quite the night tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:51:48Final Raw before SummerSlam this Saturday.
00:51:51We are live in St. Paul, Minnesota.
00:51:54Over 13,000 strong.
00:51:56Watching Gunther,
00:51:57the man who hopes to become world heavyweight champion
00:52:00on Saturday at SummerSlam.
00:52:02Try to pick apart one half of the tag champs,
00:52:04Finn Balor, of Judgment Day.
00:52:06He's trying to soften Gunther
00:52:08before Damian Priest.
00:52:11Yeah, Finn trying to fight back now.
00:52:13From a universal champion,
00:52:14trying to take the fight to the King of the Ring!
00:52:18Gunther winning that tournament,
00:52:19which culminated in Saudi Arabia at the end of May,
00:52:22by knocking off Sheamus, Kofi Kingston,
00:52:25Jey Uso, and Randy Orton.
00:52:27Oh!
00:52:28And a kickout by Balor.
00:52:31Virtual all-star team,
00:52:33Gunther knocked off to win the King of the Ring.
00:52:36I appreciate the fact that you become the King,
00:52:38you get a shot at the title.
00:52:40Just like the Queen, Nia Jax,
00:52:42earned her opportunity at Baylor.
00:52:45WWE Women's Champion Saturday at SummerSlam.
00:52:49Boston Crabbe now locked in
00:52:52by Gunther.
00:52:53Center of the ring, Balor's got nowhere to go.
00:52:55Submission move here.
00:53:01Balor trying to drag it off.
00:53:04Balor trying to drag himself to the bottom rope
00:53:06and force a play.
00:53:07Fingertip away and he finally grabs it.
00:53:09Gunther's gonna have to break the hold.
00:53:10Phenomenal core strength from Finn Balor
00:53:12to be able to get to the lower rope there.
00:53:15I thought Gunther was about to snap him in half
00:53:17like an Auntie Anne's pretzel.
00:53:24Right to the back.
00:53:28Forearm shot to the back of the neck.
00:53:30And just a little wasted motion by Gunther.
00:53:32Everything he does has purpose.
00:53:36Punish the opponent, wear them down.
00:53:41Pretty much beating Will Adams like he's doing here.
00:53:44That chop was heard all the way in Minneapolis, Colt.
00:53:48You've been waiting all night for that.
00:53:50And here, Gunther with Balor
00:53:54up on the top rope.
00:53:57Oh, Balor turned it around.
00:53:59Balor was able to shift his balance
00:54:02and he landed heavily on Gunther.
00:54:04Now an opportunity for Balor.
00:54:08Watch this counter by Finn here, Pat.
00:54:10Body control, use of leverage, you name it.
00:54:15Gunther was going for a super flex
00:54:17and Balor able to turn it around.
00:54:20Great, a splash out of nothing.
00:54:21Now Gunther misses wildly, flailing wildly
00:54:24as Balor unloads to the rights and lefts
00:54:27and Finn Balor now.
00:54:28Who'd love to knock off Gunther
00:54:30and quell his momentum before the matchup
00:54:32with Damian Priest on Saturday.
00:54:34Cover by Balor, hook to the leg,
00:54:36Gunther's got a kick at two.
00:54:40Finn Balor wants the Judgment Day
00:54:41to keep all of the titles that they have.
00:54:45Need Damian Priest to win.
00:54:48Beat down Gunther a little bit,
00:54:49obviously that would help.
00:54:52Gunther slowly making his back to his feet.
00:54:56Remember Balor, uh-oh, Gunther sidestep.
00:54:58And now sleeper hold knocked in on Balor.
00:55:03Gunther looking to wear Balor down.
00:55:04Balor with nowhere to go.
00:55:08Balor, nice reversal.
00:55:11Oh, what a chop!
00:55:14And again into the sleeper.
00:55:17Chest of Finn Balor's
00:55:20deep red from the chops.
00:55:22And now, speaking of deep, a rear naked choke
00:55:25under the Irish chin of Finn.
00:55:29Thought he was out there,
00:55:30like Patti Pimblitt had old buddy this weekend.
00:55:34Balor, turn six around with the DDT.
00:55:42Balor in the clothesline,
00:55:43trying to drive Gunther back into the corner.
00:55:45Building some momentum,
00:55:46oh, ran right into a clothesline again.
00:55:48Gunther crawls to the cover,
00:55:50hooks the leg now on Balor and a kick out.
00:55:53Oh!
00:55:56Match here.
00:55:58Can you imagine how physical the match is gonna be Saturday?
00:56:01Those two big bruisers, Gunther and Priest going at it.
00:56:05World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
00:56:09Priest with a chip on his shoulder.
00:56:11Something to prove.
00:56:13Upset over the fact that
00:56:14Gunther called him in his judgment day,
00:56:17brethren, nothing but street trash.
00:56:20Gunther wants to return the prestige
00:56:22to the World Heavyweight title in his mind.
00:56:29Balor, the wily batter,
00:56:30as tough as they come,
00:56:31bringing the fight to Gunther now.
00:56:33Oh, Gunther with an uppercut.
00:56:37Now lifting Balor up,
00:56:38lands on his feet.
00:56:39Now Balor looking to use his quickness,
00:56:41sling blade!
00:56:42We've seen this from Finn before.
00:56:46You think he's down,
00:56:47you think he's out,
00:56:48sling blade!
00:56:50Oh, Gunther once again into the sleeper.
00:56:55Balor able to roll through,
00:56:56stomp to the chest.
00:56:59And Balor giving Gunther everything
00:57:00he can handle and move.
00:57:02The batter Finn Balor
00:57:03with a double-leg takedown
00:57:04and yet another stomp.
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:08Oh!
00:57:09Chest match here between
00:57:10Gunther and Finn.
00:57:12One upping each other.
00:57:14Reversing each other.
00:57:16Big chest,
00:57:18one massive welt.
00:57:20The chops of Gunther
00:57:21in this matchup.
00:57:23Sirius XM,
00:57:24that thing is busted open.
00:57:26That's Gunther wrestling.
00:57:28Driving Gunther into the corner.
00:57:29Gunther's in the drop zone.
00:57:31Balor realizes it.
00:57:32Balor's got an opportunity.
00:57:34Gunther's got an opportunity.
00:57:35Balor's got an opportunity.
00:57:37Balor's got an opportunity.
00:57:38Gunther's in trouble.
00:57:39Balor's gonna climb up top.
00:57:42Finn Balor from the top rope.
00:57:44Oui, oui, bonjour.
00:57:46Up to the coup de grace.
00:57:47Gunther able to roll out of harm's way
00:57:49and again
00:57:50locks in a sleeper.
00:57:53Got the sleeper
00:57:54a few different times for Finn.
00:57:55At what point
00:57:57is Finn just gonna have to tap out?
00:58:00Or maybe pass out.
00:58:01Yeah, this is the
00:58:02the deepness that Gunther's
00:58:03had it locked up.
00:58:05And Finn Balor starting to fade.
00:58:07Well, at least it looked like he was.
00:58:08Now he's trying to make it back
00:58:09to a vertical base.
00:58:10St. Paul is powering him back up.
00:58:12Gunther turns it around
00:58:13with a powerbomb.
00:58:14Stacks up Balor.
00:58:15Shoulders down.
00:58:16Balor kicks it too.
00:58:19Entire body weight of Gunther
00:58:20was on top of Finn.
00:58:22And now Gunther again.
00:58:25Overpowering Balor here.
00:58:34Balor's fading.
00:58:35Center of the ring.
00:58:37Nowhere to go.
00:58:38Official Chad Patton right there.
00:58:40Balor looking for one last rally perhaps.
00:58:49Balor trying to break the
00:58:52the massive grip of Gunther.
00:58:54Gunther again just
00:58:56ragdolling Balor.
00:59:00Both of these men have superb stamina
00:59:02but
00:59:03at some point you're gonna have to want
00:59:05Yeah, it's out.
00:59:06Gunther's got
00:59:07finally locked it in.
00:59:08Balor
00:59:09fading.
00:59:11And it's over.
00:59:12Gunther puts Balor away.
00:59:27And look at Gunther now
00:59:28once again locking in the
00:59:30not even a sleeper
00:59:31or a naked choke now.
00:59:34Balor who's
00:59:35barely moved
00:59:36was just coming to
00:59:37when Gunther went back on the attack.
00:59:40Balor's consciousness
00:59:41made a decision for his body
00:59:42by just passing out
00:59:43not being able to continue to fight.
00:59:47And that'll bring the world champ to the ring
00:59:49Damian Priest.
00:59:52And here we go
00:59:53Priest
00:59:54and Gunther brawling
00:59:56five nights away from SummerSlam.
01:00:00Damian's connected.
01:00:02Priest with the right hand.
01:00:03Gunther rolls out of the ring.
01:00:04And the brawl is underway again.
01:00:06These two men
01:00:07been beating the hell out of each other
01:00:09in recent weeks.
01:00:11Disrespect has been through the roof.
01:00:16And our champion
01:00:17was sick of seeing Gunther do what he was doing
01:00:19to Finn Balor.
01:00:21Comes out here and just starts throwing bombs
