00:00I've been back on raw for like 30 minutes and it has been the wildest 30 minutes
00:04I've experienced in a long time. You've got the Wyatt maniacs on around Karrion Kross trying to break Kofi's arm
00:09It's gonna be one of those nights. Well, if you're the Judgment Day, you have a problem with Liv Morgan
00:14Now, is it a good problem or a bad problem? If you're JD McDonough and Finn Balor
00:19It's a great problem because last week Liv Morgan
00:22Manipulated R-Truth into putting the tag team titles on the line against JD McDonough and Finn Balor
00:27Here's what happened last week on Monday Night Raw in this tag team championship match. In R-Truth's defense
00:33He did believe that Liv Morgan was in fact Carmella all evening
00:36Which caused some confusion that Liv wasted no time capitalizing on mid-match this
00:41Wonderful reunion in the mind of truth and this is where Liv would pay massive dividends for the Judgment Day
00:47Yeah, tugging on R-Truth's heartstrings
00:51In the coup de grace by Finn Balor
00:54And Balor and JD McDonough will become the tag team champions
00:59Thanks to that woman the women's world champion Liv Morgan
01:13That's fair well tonight's a big night and hopefully you'll be done with your dad once and for all now before we go inside
01:20I didn't want to ask you
01:21You talked to Rhea?
01:24She's good. I'm good. We're all good. You good? I'm great. You know, who's not though?
01:30Rhea Ripley because I just talked to her
01:35Yeah, she's pissed dude
01:38I'm gonna handle this whole Liv situation tonight. You say that every week and then you do nothing yet once for once
01:46Actually do what you say you're gonna do dude, you know, this whole Liv thing isn't even my fault
01:54Yo, what did you say?
01:56Nothing, I didn't say anything
01:58No, you can say it out loud, it's okay
02:00No, what are you talking about?
02:02She's here!
02:04Guys!
02:08Welcome in!
02:10I was just leaving, my title match is up next
02:13I just wanted to say good luck tonight daddy Dom
02:21I was playing as you man
02:23Hold on Dom
02:25Did you get the ring?
02:27Yeah, well before you say anything
02:29Honestly, Liv hanging out in the clubhouse, that's not cool bro. That's gotta stop
02:36Okay, but whatever you think about Liv
02:40She helped bring the tag team championships back to the Judgment Day. The real issue here is you
02:47You put your spot in the Judgment Day in jeopardy and don't get me started about what you said to Seth
02:52What was it? We need you more than you need us. What are we now? You're your sidekick. Stop. Stop. Stop
02:58No, you're not my sidekicks. And honestly, I didn't say anything that was wrong
03:03Yeah, I'm the world champion bro. Of course you guys need me more when Rhea was here and she was the world champ
03:08We needed her more
03:10Now you're a tag team champion again. How about this? We need each other
03:15And as far as my spot being put on the line
03:18Yeah, I have faith in myself, bro
03:21So I think I'm gonna beat Seth Rollins and Money in the Bank
03:24Actually, I know I can beat him and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
03:29I know you are
03:31And as your brother, I'll always have your back
03:35And as your brother, I'll always tell you the truth and truth is since you won that championship
03:44You've changed
03:53Zelina Vega and Zelina last week Dominic Mysterio offered to help you during your match against Liv Morgan this evening
03:59Have you considered his offer and how do you maintain your focus on Liv Morgan considering all of the recent chaos she's caused?
04:06Well, just like I told that bootleg Rhea Liv Morgan last week. I'm not really interested in chasing
04:14Dirty D
04:15No, I'm more interested in chasing the WWE Women's World Championship
04:22Okay, Zelina Vega is a champion
04:25So Liv Morgan and everybody who's ever doubted me is going to see what a real champion looks like
04:38Well, you know ironically it was
04:4114 months ago that Zelina Vega had her last championship opportunity
04:47against Rhea Ripley and
04:49Puerto Rico tonight, Zelina Vega looks to win her first singles championship in WWE
04:55Vega Morgan for the women's world title live next on Monday Night Raw
05:10Security guards back here. Thank goodness. At least this one's awake. Meanwhile Zelina Vega in the ring
05:14She's set to take on Liv Morgan the women's world champion
05:17It was busy yesterday trying to first pitch over at Fenway Park for the Red Sox bringing a little Liv Morgan magic to the Red
05:23Sox leading the Sox to a 4-1 win as she threw out the ceremonial first pitch in the iconic
05:30confines of one of the greatest stadiums in baseball
05:34Well, Red Sox would go on to beat Dirty Dom's favorite team the San Diego Padres short
05:39I talked to my good friend Jared who's already petitioning the Red Sox to sign Liv Morgan full-time because she could be their good luck charm
05:46And Liv couldn't help but take a shot at Rhea Ripley. Of course Liv knocked out of action with a shoulder injury
05:51She says I throw better than Rhea Ripley does. I have a much better arm
05:59So Liv Morgan won the championship
06:02That could be king and queen of the ring in Saudi Arabia by knocking off Becky Lynch after a miscue
06:08My Dirty Dom set to defend tonight against Zelina Vega
06:20And tonight Monday Night Raw
06:23Is presented by Madela a reward for those with a fighting spirit. Madela the mark of a fighter
06:31Madela, Madela, Madela
06:38The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Women's World Championship
06:51Introducing the challenger representing the LWL from Queens, New York
06:59Zelina Vega
07:02And
07:10Her opponent from Elmwood Park, New Jersey
07:15She is the Women's World Champion
07:23Liv Morgan
07:26I spoke with Zelina a bit earlier today Corey
07:29She said she has been training in Muay Thai you can expect more kicks tonight more shots more use of the knees and the feet
07:35in this matchup against Morgan
07:37So what does Zelina need to do to try to win her first singles championship here in WWE?
07:43Zelina's been around the game a long time
07:45This is a world traveled veteran Zelina can pretty much do it all inside of the ring her biggest detriment has been her size
07:51She's been at a perpetual size disadvantage case in point right there
07:55If somehow Zelina can avoid the contact of Liv Morgan stick and move
08:00She may have a shot in this Morgan looking to outpower Vega Vega with a nice arm drag takedown of the Women's World
08:05Champion and you're not often gonna see Liv Morgan overpower a lot of her opponents
08:10She does have the power advantage in this one
08:12Look at the agility of Vega and Zelina Vega nice takedown of Morgan again and Vega in control early
08:19part of the
08:20LWO Latino World Order Rey Mysterio and idol of Zelina's growing up as was Lita a
08:26Hall-of-Famer shoved into the corner by Morgan what I've noticed from afar watching Liv Morgan as Women's World Champion is how
08:33You know the old adage in this business that the title can make the person or the person can make the title
08:38I've seen both happen with Liv Morgan since becoming Women's World Champion lives have this confidence that is just through the roof
08:45And it's almost like some guys talk about putting a mask on and you feel like you can be your true self it frees you
08:51It's like the Women's World Championship has had that effect on Liv Morgan where she doesn't care who she offends who she ticks off
08:58She's out for number one right now, and it's serving her well and each and every week she grows in confidence
09:04Now let's not take anything away from Zelina Vega
09:06Oh, she is the first-ever queen of the ring former tag team champion as well and Zelina Vega now taking control of the world champ
09:16Another example the fantastic
09:18Spectacular offense that Zelina is capable of unfortunately the setup for a lot of this office takes an inordinate amount of time
09:25Which allows Liv to recover or in that case turn the tables completely the official on this matchup Daphne Lashawn begins the count
09:32Champions advantage tonight
09:39I don't need your help. I don't want you out here Dominic said he's going to correct things for real
09:43Make sure Liv Morgan loses the championship
09:46Morgan with a big old smile on her face when Dom showed up and Zelina now takes advantage
09:51Lena with another fantastic arm drag
09:54now from the apron Meteora
09:56Vega
09:58Vega with a take down of the champ
10:03And Dirty Doll applauding the actions of Vega
10:07And look who's here!
10:09Donny Mysterio!
10:11Who's got Dominic in a match later tonight
10:13Rey coming up and helps Zelina
10:15Trying to steal his kid's spotlight again
10:17Title opportunity continues
10:20778 in Boston tonight for Monday Night Raw
10:24Liv Morgan defending the Women's World Championship against Zelina Vega
10:27That you're looking over the shoulder of Dirty Doll
10:29Dominic Mysterio who claims he's out here to well make sure that Liv Morgan doesn't keep the championship
10:35You saw Rey Mysterio from the LWO
10:37On the other side
10:39Look at what's happening before our very eyes
10:41Liv Morgan I would say paying homage but I don't believe it
10:45I think she's rubbing it in the face of Rey Mysterio
10:47Of course Eddie Guerrero with the three amigos
10:50And now playing up to Dirty Doll
10:52Playing dumb Michael Cole
10:54You know exactly what's going down
10:56Me playing dumb? What about Dominic?
10:58Do you really buy this whole act of Dominic
11:00That he's worried about Rhea
11:02That he wants to take the championship away from Liv Morgan
11:04Come on he's here for a reason
11:06Liv Morgan with the prism lock applied
11:08Rhea Ripley submission
11:10That's Rhea's submission
11:12Well Liv did declare that she was going to take everything from Rhea
11:17Including her finishing maneuver
11:19And also her boyfriend Dirty Dom
11:21As Dominic looks on
11:23I mean can you blame Dirty Dom
11:25He's got it coming at him from all sides
11:27The guys less Eddie Guerrero these days are more like American love machine Art Barr
11:31Zelina Vega trying to drive herself to the bottom rope to force a break here
11:35You wouldn't mess with a man with a mustache that strong Michael Cole
11:38I used to have one like that
11:40And here's a roll up now and a roll through
11:42Vega caught her with a kick to the face
11:44Right in the grill
11:45Now Zelina Vega looking to rally
11:47And try to win the women's world championship
11:49Here tonight on Monday Night Raw
11:53Step up kick by Zelina
11:57And Vega kicked right to the spine of Morgan
11:59That aforementioned training that Vega's been participating in
12:06Down goes Morgan again
12:10This is the pace that Vega wants
12:12I'm honestly a little surprised that Vega's let it slow down to this extent
12:16She usually excels when the pace is fast
12:18But she's now up on the top turnbuckle
12:20Moonsault on the money
12:21For the championship
12:22Hook of the leg
12:23Morgan kicks it too
12:25Vega with a beautiful moonsault
12:27And Rey's telling her stay in this
12:29You're a half second away
12:31Rey Mysterio the Hall of Famer knows full well what it takes to hang in a title fight
12:35He's reminding Zelina you gotta keep your foot on the gas pedal
12:39It doesn't get much better than this moonsault
12:41Executed by the challenger
12:43Right on the money
12:44But not enough to win gold yet
12:47Zelina though continuing to
12:49Keep the pressure on Morgan
12:51Zelina looking for Code Red
12:53Oh!
12:54Right on the back of her neck
12:57Able to counter and a kick out by Morgan
13:00Now live with it
13:01And running in Suguri
13:03Live now
13:04Shoots the half, hooks the leg
13:06Is it enough to put Zelina away?
13:08Almost had her again at two pounds
13:11And this is the first time in this matchup
13:13We've seen such a degree of frustration on the face
13:16At least momentarily
13:17Of the champion Morgan
13:19And now blowing a kiss out to Dirty Dom at ringside
13:22Is that a smile?
13:23Is that a smile on Mysterio's face?
13:26I think he had a little smile on his face when Liva
13:28Blew the kiss his way, Corey
13:30Oh you need to quit with your speculation, alright?
13:32This is a very complicated situation
13:34Requires its own status on Facebook
13:36I'm a journalist, I call what I see
13:39I spend a lot of time on Twitter
13:40So you should just listen to me
13:49And Zelina and Morgan now fighting high above the ring
13:54Scrappy exchange
13:56On the top turnbuckle
13:57Zelina with the upper hand at the moment
13:59Just pounding on the base of Morgan's neck
14:01Morgan's just trying to hang on
14:04Face first
14:06This is a good strategy by Vega
14:07Just exhaust all options before you take it high risk
14:10Because it just may pay off
14:12Zelina, top rope
14:15My goodness!
14:16That's gotta do it
14:17Morgan ain't getting up from that
14:19But Liv Morgan with the wherewithal
14:21To roll out of the ring
14:22And save perhaps her championship
14:25Wow
14:26That is brilliant, Cole
14:30Zelina with a picture-perfect sunset
14:33When Powerbomb almost took Morgan out
14:36But Liv was able to roll out of the ring
14:38And it forces Zelina now, Corey
14:40To have to get Morgan back into the ring
14:42To the champion's advantage
14:44The title can only change hands via pinfall or submission
14:47Zelina Vega fully aware of that
14:49As is Liv Morgan
14:50And just that momentary hesitation by Vega
14:53Was all Liv needed to at least buy herself a few more moments
14:56Now looking to the shoulder of the legendary Rey Mysterio
15:00His son Dominic at ringside as well
15:02They face later on tonight
15:06Oh, look at this
15:08This is pathetic
15:09It's not pathetic
15:11And now Morgan with a baseball slide to Mysterio
15:16And Vega with a 619
15:18Zelina's gonna capitalize
15:23Down goes Morgan with a DDT
15:25Here comes Zelina for the championship
15:28Hook of the leg
15:29And a kickout by Morgan
15:33Dirty Dom has a steel chair
15:36Vega looking for the cover again
15:38And again Morgan's got a kickout
15:41But right now shades of what happened in Saudi Arabia
15:44Tonight the Morgan beat Lynch
15:48Dominic just sending the chair into the ring
15:53Couldn't tell him to use it
15:55But Vega bouncing it off Dom's face
15:59Look at the rage in Morgan's face
16:01Oblivion
16:03Morgan
16:05Retains the championship
16:08Dirty Dom screwed it up again
16:10Here is your winner
16:12And still
16:15The Women's World Champion
16:18Liv Morgan
16:24It backfired
16:28For Dominic Mysterio
16:30At least if that's the story you choose to believe
16:33But nonetheless
16:34Liv Morgan is still the Women's World Champion
16:39Morgan has lived up to each and every one of her promises
16:42To take everything from Rhea Ripley
16:46Congratulations on retaining your championship
16:50Are you feeling like everything is going according to plan on your revenge tour?
16:56Kathy I feel like the luckiest girl in the world
17:03The Liv Morgan revenge tour is going exactly as I planned it
17:09So I just want to take this opportunity
17:12To dedicate my victory tonight and all of my future victories
17:17To the most gorgeous man in WWE
17:23My daddy Dominic
17:27I'm gonna get sick
17:29I'm gonna trashcan under the desk Cole
17:31This is life
17:32This is love
17:33This is the reality of the situation
17:37Rhea and Dominic
17:38Nothing like the relationship between LeBron and Ronnie
17:41I thought you were going to compare it to Otis and Chad Gable
17:44And I was going to say it's almost identical
17:46Yet for some reason
17:47You feel bad for Otis
17:49But you don't feel bad for Dirty Dom
17:51Why would I feel bad for Dirty Dom?
17:53Because he had to grow up with Rhea as his father
17:55Rhea Mysterio is a tremendous man
17:57He's a tremendous dad
17:58He's a great person
17:59Have you ever been to Christmas at the Mysterio house?
18:01Chad Gable is none of that
18:04And his opponent
18:05Representing the Judgment Day
18:08From San Diego, California
18:10Wearing a 200 pound
18:13Dirty Dominic Mysterio
18:19At least he's got his vest back
18:20Nevertheless
18:21He wouldn't even let his Hall of Fame dad have a full entrance
18:24Once again his Hall of Fame dad
18:26Has taken every other opportunity and moment
18:28Away from Dom
18:29For the last 20 something years of Dom's life
18:31Well I hope Rhea kicks his ass
18:32Like he did back at WrestleMania 39
18:35Oh he does it again tonight
18:37You're a sick man
18:39So Mysterio and Mysterio
18:42Father vs. Son
18:43Presented by Modelo
18:44A reward for those with a fighting spirit
18:46Modelo the mark of a fighter
18:48So here we go
18:49Underway Dominic and Rhea Mysterio
18:51Here tonight
18:52They have never been able to patch things up
18:54Maybe if Dominic could have a relationship with his dad
18:56Rey could tell him how to handle this whole
18:58Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley situation
19:00Give him some fatherly advice
19:02Look at Dominic
19:03Look at how he treats the man
19:04What does Rey Mysterio know about women's troubles?
19:06He's been running around with a mask on his entire life
19:08Because he's hideous
19:09He's been married for a long time
19:11He's got a beautiful wife and family
19:12Maybe Dominic should take a look at that
19:14You know they say you're only as loyal as your options
19:17You're an idiot
19:18And here we go now
19:19Mysterio sent across the ring by Dominic
19:21The Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio
19:23Leapfrogged by Dominic Mysterio
19:25Right to the face
19:26That had to feel good for Rey
19:29A lot of fathers wake up and dream
19:31Or are from a dream about stomping on their own son's face
19:33That's very normal behavior, Rey
19:35Not unhealthy or toxic at all
19:37Dominic
19:38Holy God
19:39He's dragging Dominic down into the barricade
19:41Rey Mysterio
19:42Teaching his son a lesson
19:44Here tonight on Raw
19:48...control this matchup with his father Rey Mysterio
19:50During the commercial break
19:52We are in Boston tonight
19:5414,778
19:56WWE fans got hands
19:58For this Wrestlemania rematch
20:01And things not going like they did at Wrestlemania
20:03For Rey
20:04Cover by Dominic
20:05Kickout at two
20:07That's because Dominic Mysterio
20:09Has continued to train
20:10Continued to improve
20:11Continued to spend time
20:13And pick the brains of the Judgment Day
20:14Meanwhile
20:15All Rey Mysterio has done
20:17Is make his son's life hell
20:19And now pounding away on his father
20:21Rey Mysterio
20:23I still cannot believe
20:25The way that this relationship
20:27Has deteriorated over the years
20:29Between Dominic and Rey
20:35Once again
20:37It's led to this
20:42Flying back elbow by Dom
20:44Cover again by Dom
20:45Hook of the leg on Rey
20:46And a kickout
20:52Dominic
20:53Loved to beat his dad tonight
20:55Embarrassing
20:56Here on Monday Night Raw
21:01Dirty Dom
21:02Got to realize that Liv
21:03Is definitely looking on
21:04Wherever she's at
21:10As someone who's dad
21:11Has mistreated them
21:12For the duration of their existence
21:15Rey Mysterio
21:22Again, Dominic just
21:24Pounding away on Mysterio
21:25Into the corner goes Rey
21:27Shoulder first
21:28That may have broken
21:29Rey's heart, literally
21:33The last two years
21:34Broken Rey Mysterio's heart
21:36Look at that
21:39Cocky cover by Dominic
21:41A strange father and son.
21:49Breaks Angie's heart.
21:50Aaliyah, Dominic's sister as well.
21:53See what their dad and Dominic battling each other again here tonight.
21:59Probably gonna hurt them both if they were both complicit watching Dom grow up the way he had to.
22:03Nonetheless, Ray trying to fight back into this thing.
22:05Nice drop toehold by Mysterio.
22:07Dominic into the second rope.
22:09Hey, you can spew all your propaganda over there on Friday nights, but you're not gonna do it here on Mondays.
22:14As Ray is now sending his son face first into the turnbuckle.
22:24And Ray now, out to the apron.
22:26Trying to pick up the pace in this matchup.
22:28Dominic, little stun, not sure where he is.
22:31Down goes Dom off the senton by Ray.
22:35Crossbody.
22:36Oh, man.
22:37What impact.
22:39Ray may have knocked his son out.
22:43Ray slow to his feet after that crossbody.
22:47Watch this again, Ray Mysterio.
22:51The impact up over the top goes Dominic.
22:53Ray able to roll through.
22:54Kick to the face of Dom.
23:00And look who's here.
23:03Liv Morgan still the world champ because of Dominic's antics earlier tonight.
23:10Obviously, Liv out here perhaps to pay the favor.
23:14That's a flip by Ray.
23:15Dom rolls through looking for a catapult.
23:19Ray face first.
23:20And now, the half crab submission.
23:25Brilliantly executed by Dirty Dom.
23:28Almost a full crab here.
23:31As Ray's trying to make it to the bottom rope to force a break.
23:35Morgan looking on, big smile on her face.
23:40Dom.
23:46Dom less vocal with Morgan's appearance here than he was a little bit earlier when he came out for her match.
23:51Because Dom's a professional.
23:52He realizes he's in the ring with a hall of famer.
23:54He's got to give at least professional respect to his dad.
23:57I saw Liv Morgan do this earlier.
24:00Looking for the three amigos.
24:03Not paying homage at all to Eddie Guerrero.
24:07You think Dom's paying homage to Liv?
24:09Ray now.
24:12Drop to the knee.
24:14Oh, no.
24:15Mysterio with him in position and Liv Morgan pulling Dominic out of harm's way.
24:21What a woman.
24:22That is a ride or die if there ever was one.
24:34Oh, and Ray.
24:35Oh, no.
24:38Oh, no.
24:40Oh, no.
24:42Oh, no.
24:44Oh, no.
24:46Oh, no.
24:48Oh, no.
