00:00:00WWE fans, here's a special look at the Challenge 40 Battle of the Era, premiering Wednesday at 8, 7 central on MTV.
00:00:30Championship number one contenders match!
00:00:34Introducing first, representing Damage Control, the team of Kairi Sane and Io Sky!
00:00:44So much history in this upcoming tag team match, we'll get into it.
00:00:48As Kairi Sane and Io Sky of Damage Control head to the ring to determine who will be the number one contenders for the women's tag team titles.
00:00:58And there are the tag team champions, Isla Dawn and Alva Fire looking on.
00:01:04And also looking on tonight, WWE legend Candice Michelle, here live tonight in Austin, Texas for Monday Night Raw.
00:01:14Hell yeah, it was love seeing folks that helped build the company we have today.
00:01:23And tonight's Monday Night Raw is presented by MTV's The Challenge 40 Battle of the Era, premiering Wednesday at 8, 7 central on MTV.
00:01:33I have a simple rule, if CT and Johnny Bananas are on a show, I'll watch the show.
00:01:37And I do believe from the preview they are, so I can't wait to watch.
00:01:41I also can't wait to watch how this all unfolds.
00:01:47Champs are here, number one contender title match.
00:01:55And their opponents, accompanied by Sonya Deville, Zoey Stump, and Shayna Baszler.
00:02:05Your Fusion Collective!
00:02:09That is the name of this group, we heard that from Sonya Deville moments ago.
00:02:14They have been very, very dangerous as of late.
00:02:17I want to take you back to last week on Monday Night Raw.
00:02:19It's supposed to be Dakota Kai and Sonya Deville, one-on-one action.
00:02:22And look what Damage Control does, they attack Dakota Kai and attack her already surgically repaired knee
00:02:27to the point where she's going to miss eight to ten weeks of action.
00:02:30With a torn meniscus, she needs meniscus surgery.
00:02:33Meanwhile, Io Sky would replace Dakota Kai in this matchup against Sonya Deville.
00:02:37Things got out of control before Io Sky and Kairi Sane would take matters into their own hands.
00:02:44And this Pure Fusion Collective has certainly raised a lot of hell since arriving,
00:02:49but Damage Control is still looking to run Monday Night Raw.
00:02:54A lot of history, a lot of pent-up, and a lot on the line here.
00:02:58Pure Fusion Collective, I mean fusion obviously makes martial arts and wrestling.
00:03:04And Io Sky now, starting things off with Shayna Baszler.
00:03:08Baszler and Sky with a lot of history, dating all the way back to Japan.
00:03:12Io Sky teaming with Kairi Sane tonight.
00:03:14They were once known as the Sky Pirates back at NXT.
00:03:18They'd love to become the number one contenders to the tag team titles.
00:03:22Shayna Baszler all out of sorts with this double team action now from Damage Control.
00:03:27Yeah, they got hypnotized in Shayna a little bit.
00:03:30Oh, double missile dropkick to your back.
00:03:32Damage Control in control early.
00:03:35And Deville looking on at ringside.
00:03:38She's chirping with somebody in the front row.
00:03:40She needs to be worried about the Pure Fusion Collective.
00:03:42And Kairi Sane now with Baszler in trouble in the corner.
00:03:45And there's that sliding forearm by Kairi Sane.
00:03:47Damage Control taking it to BFC.
00:03:50Kairi, top rope.
00:03:52Ah, down goes Baszler.
00:03:54Sane and Baszler, cover now.
00:03:57They've had some great battles over the years for the NXT Women's Championship.
00:04:01Having Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler, also the Mae Young classic.
00:04:06Smart move here by Shayna getting a breather, but I don't think it's going to help.
00:04:10Baszler now turns things around and sends Kairi Sane back into the ring.
00:04:15Submission magician.
00:04:16Shayna Baszler, former two-time NXT Women's Champion.
00:04:19Tag made, and here comes Zoey Stark.
00:04:21What's also interesting, Pat, is that Zoey Stark is a former tag team champion.
00:04:26As you see, the double team.
00:04:28That sliding forearm by Stark.
00:04:31Get into that in just a moment as Stark and Shayna Baszler,
00:04:34Pure Fusion Collective, take control.
00:04:41We are live on Monday Night Raw.
00:04:43Important matchup here.
00:04:44One of these teams going to become the number one contender
00:04:46for the Women's Tag Team titles.
00:04:48Currently held by Fire and Dawn, who are at ringside with us tonight.
00:04:51It is Damage Control.
00:04:53Kairi Sane trying to make a tag to Io Skye
00:04:55against the team now known as the Pure Fusion Collective.
00:04:59Say that ten times.
00:05:00Pure Fusion Collective.
00:05:01Pure Fusion Collective.
00:05:02Oh!
00:05:04Kairi Sane with a DDT to Shayna Baszler.
00:05:08You see Io Skye looking on.
00:05:09What's interesting is Zoey Stark, former tag team champion,
00:05:12at NXT with Io Skye.
00:05:16Now they find themselves on the opposite side of the ring
00:05:19with the number one contender opportunity on the line.
00:05:23Shayna makes a tag and here comes Zoey Stark.
00:05:25Tag made to Io Skye.
00:05:28It's Skye and Stark going at it.
00:05:31How about this?
00:05:33Io Skye taking it to Zoey Stark.
00:05:35Former WWE Women's Champion, Money in the Bank winner,
00:05:39NXT champ, Io Skye.
00:05:43Blocked Stark.
00:05:44Big kick to the side of the face.
00:05:46Zoey all discombobulated.
00:05:47And so is Shayna Baszler hung up at the top rope by Skye.
00:05:50Damage Control wants to prove they run the women's division.
00:05:53And a double missile dropkick by Skye into a kip-up.
00:05:57The tag champs, I'm not sure if they look impressed or not.
00:06:00They need to be.
00:06:02How could you not be impressed?
00:06:04Austin, Texas is going crazy for Damage Control.
00:06:07Oh, and there's the bullet train attack from Io Skye in the corner.
00:06:12Covered to become the number one contender
00:06:14as Zoey Stark kicks out.
00:06:18Fusion Collective gets a nice combo missile dropkick
00:06:23from Io Skye into a kip-up, into a flip-rope.
00:06:28And Zoey with a nice counter.
00:06:31German suplex to Io Skye.
00:06:33I think Zoey thinks that she took Io Skye's best effort there
00:06:36and is still able to kick out.
00:06:37Tag, Shayna Baszler.
00:06:39Double team coming.
00:06:40And there's the running.
00:06:41He didn't quite get all of it.
00:06:44Gosh, got that though.
00:06:45Got that.
00:06:46Stacked up now for the win.
00:06:48Kairi Sane saving the matchup for her team.
00:06:53If you're firing Dawn and you're watching this,
00:06:55you've got to be a little bit worried
00:06:57about whoever's hunting those titles next.
00:06:59Indeed, Kairi Sane now set out to the floor.
00:07:01Front row seat firing Dawn.
00:07:03Right in front of the tag champs.
00:07:06They have this confidence about them
00:07:07that they aren't worried about nothing.
00:07:09They need to be.
00:07:10Yeah, firing Dawn.
00:07:11Indeed, when the tag team titles,
00:07:14And now, Io Skye looking to take out Zoey Stark.
00:07:19Look at the power.
00:07:20Right to the knee, right to the back.
00:07:23And Io says it's over.
00:07:27And Sonia Deville goes into distraction.
00:07:29And Shayna Baszler and now Kairi Sane.
00:07:34This Pure Fusion collective isn't scared to use extra tactics.
00:07:37And obviously, Sonia Deville is always going to take
00:07:40an opportunity when there is one.
00:07:42Io Skye now driving Zoey Stark to the floor.
00:07:46And Skye and Stark now.
00:07:48Uh-oh, Skye shoved into fire.
00:07:50And now a kick to one of the tag champs.
00:07:54Catching shrapnel, Zoey says, sorry about it.
00:07:56And Io Skye with a right.
00:08:01And this matchup continues.
00:08:04Skye looking for over the moonsault
00:08:06to try to put Zoey Stark away.
00:08:10Io Skye connects.
00:08:12Here's the cover.
00:08:13One.
00:08:15And Isla Dawn of the tag champs breaking this up.
00:08:19And now all the fire involved.
00:08:21Deville runs into a kick.
00:08:23Beat up everybody, these champs.
00:08:25The tag team champions dismantling everyone.
00:08:30Just trying to showcase dominance.
00:08:32I don't fully understand what the hell is going on.
00:08:36Fire and Dawn said it doesn't matter.
00:08:41And the tag team champions making an example tonight.
00:08:52Still no number one contender.
00:08:55So, Pat, who is the strongest group
00:08:58in the women's division in WWE?
00:09:02Yes, Fire and Dawn would say, hang on.
00:09:08Tag team champ dismantling all the competition.
00:09:16What's up, dawg?
00:09:19Man, I hate seeing you all like this.
00:09:21Disappointed?
00:09:23Because you didn't have a match in your hometown
00:09:25at SummerSlam?
00:09:27Because you lost to the Rock and Roll Express last week?
00:09:30A town down under.
00:09:31Them too?
00:09:33Damn.
00:09:34Dawg, I'm going to cheer you up.
00:09:36Check this out.
00:09:37I talked to Adam Pearce.
00:09:38I got you a title match.
00:09:40Intercontinental Championship match against Braun.
00:09:44Braun Breaker?
00:09:45You, dawg.
00:09:46Doesn't he have a match against Sami Zayn tonight?
00:09:49I don't know about that.
00:09:51Look, that's you wearing it.
00:09:54Truth.
00:09:55That's you, dawg.
00:09:56That's not Braun Breaker.
00:09:57That's Bronson Reed.
00:09:58Bronson.
00:09:59Bronson.
00:10:01And it's the guy that killed Sal?
00:10:02Yes!
00:10:03My bad.
00:10:04What's the matter with him?
00:10:06He got a match against Dick Bronson Reed tonight.
00:10:08Isn't that the guy that killed Rollins last week?
00:10:10Yes!
00:10:12Listen, Miz, you're awesome.
00:10:14You're like one of the most decorated WWE superstars ever of all time.
00:10:19You're a Grand Slam champion.
00:10:20Two-time Grand Slam champion.
00:10:22You main evented WrestleMania against John Cena and you won.
00:10:24You got this, guy.
00:10:25You think I got this?
00:10:26I know you got this.
00:10:27You think I got this?
00:10:28I think you got it.
00:10:30Go get him.
00:10:31Go get him.
00:10:34You really think you got a chance, dawg?
00:10:40Nonetheless, the Apex Predator, the number one contender for the world title, Randy Orton
00:10:45is here live next.
00:10:51Tomorrow, Oba Fem will be defending his North American championship against any man who
00:10:56is brave or foolish enough to challenge me.
00:10:59As the challenge is answered, questions remain for Wes Lee.
00:11:07What the hell, Wes?
00:11:09Fuck your brother, what are you doing?
00:11:13You left me alone!
00:11:18I can't believe what we just witnessed.
00:11:21NXT, tomorrow 8-7.
00:11:23Joe Bell had a blast.
00:11:24I have large tears in my head.
00:11:26They counsel me.
00:11:28They understand.
00:11:29They talk to me.
00:11:31Cardinals selling tens of tickets in here.
00:11:35Thousands and thousands are excited about.
00:11:40At least they hit the ball.
00:11:42Unlike the Mets.
00:11:44Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Viper, Randy Orton!
00:11:59When they talk about aura, this is what they are speaking of.
00:12:03Randy Orton entering an arena.
00:12:13Randy!
00:12:20Randy!
00:12:21Randy!
00:12:22Randy!
00:12:24Well, two weeks from Saturday.
00:12:29We are in Berlin, Germany.
00:12:31Bash in Berlin.
00:12:33Randy Orton looks to become a 15-time world champion.
00:12:39Randy Orton will take on the brand-new world champion, the ring general, Guenther.
00:12:45Orton trying to creep closer and closer to history.
00:12:50In a 16-time title reign, both John Cena and Ric Flair.
00:13:00Bigger, stronger, faster than ever.
00:13:03And this is how Randy Orton earned this opportunity to battle Guenther.
00:13:07This was back at the end of May.
00:13:09Saudi Arabia, king and queen of the ring tournament.
00:13:12Finals of the king of the ring tournament.
00:13:14RKO, Randy Orton with a bum knee.
00:13:16Guenther took advantage, and then this happened, Pat.
00:13:19Clearly, Orton's right shoulder nowhere near on the mat.
00:13:23The referee still called the 1-2-3.
00:13:26Guenther became the king of the ring.
00:13:28Randy Orton lost the opportunity to battle for the title at SummerSlam,
00:13:32where Guenther would go on to win the gold.
00:13:36And Randy Orton was able to get a kick back real quick.
00:13:39And we, as the WWE Universe, get an opportunity to see a dream.
00:13:54Randy Orton and Guenther for the world championship in Berlin.
00:13:59Are you kidding me?
00:14:06Legendary.
00:14:11Randy Orton.
00:14:15A master at his craft.
00:14:18A legend.
00:14:21A possible Mount Rushmore when it's all said and done.
00:14:35Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy!
00:14:58How you doing, Austin, Texas?
00:15:06I got a little history for you.
00:15:0920 years ago, this month, 20 years ago,
00:15:13I won the world title for the very first time.
00:15:21I became the youngest world champion in history on that night, 20 years ago.
00:15:28And in a few short weeks at the Bash in Berlin, history will repeat itself,
00:15:34and I will become a 15-time world heavyweight champion!
00:15:48No.
00:15:57Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:16:08Well, here is the current world heavyweight champion,
00:16:13the reigning king of the ring,
00:16:16the man who beat Damien Priest at SummerSlam.
00:16:20Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:16:24We saw an interesting stat about Guenther today.
00:16:2875% of his time here in the WWE, he has been a champion.
00:16:33Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:16:36In a class of his own since starting.
00:16:38I'm not sure anybody's even close to that.
00:16:41Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:16:45He has a championship pedigree.
00:16:47He has all the tools. He is certainly capable.
00:16:52But Randy Orton's a different animal.
00:16:55Especially at this stage, with history on the line.
00:16:59He just said he could become a 15-time world champion.
00:17:02Guenther said, I don't want to hear about any of that.
00:17:05Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:17:16Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:17:24Ladies and gentlemen, take a picture.
00:17:26Remember this moment in time.
00:17:29Remember the atmosphere, because in a few short weeks,
00:17:32at the Bash in Berlin, I'm going to beat this guy.
00:17:39And then his Friday nights aren't going to be free anymore.
00:17:43And Monday night Raw is going to be my new home.
00:17:49You like that?
00:17:52Well, you're right. Everybody, take a picture of him.
00:17:56Memorize that moment, because that's Randy Orton.
00:18:00One of the greatest of all time.
00:18:13Randy Orton! Randy Orton! Randy Orton!
00:18:24But Randy, let's be honest.
00:18:26Instead of that, you should be the greatest of all time.
00:18:35The most natural and physical gifted talent this industry has ever seen.
00:18:42Unlimited potential.
00:18:44And Randy, you took all of that and wasted it.
00:18:53Randy, you better look at me, because I want you to understand something.
00:19:00This is a new era. This is the era of the Ring General.
00:19:11And in my era, there's no room for people that waste their potential.
00:19:21In the future of my era, Randy, you won't play a role anymore.
00:19:30I'm going to have to stop you right there, man.
00:19:32I never claimed to be perfect.
00:19:37I've made mistakes.
00:19:40I've actually made a lot of mistakes.
00:19:42I would venture to say that I've made more mistakes than just about everybody in that locker room.
00:19:49But, here's the thing, Gunther.
00:19:51I owned up to those mistakes.
00:19:54I changed course.
00:19:57You see, I think maybe you forgot who you were talking to.
00:20:02Let me remind you just who you were talking to.
00:20:08My name is Randy Orton.
00:20:12And I am the most unpredictable, the most violent, the most controversial yet successful WWE superstar in the history of the game.
00:20:24You say that this is a curse?
00:20:31My friends, you got it all wrong.
00:20:34I look at it as a gift.
00:20:39Now, you can have your opinion.
00:20:42But I've done it my way the entire time.
00:20:45And I always will do it my way.
00:20:48The American way.
00:20:49I've got five beautiful kids at home.
00:20:53I have got a hot-ass smoke show of a wife waiting for me back in St. Louis.
00:21:00And the cherry on top, Gunther, is I'm a 14, soon-to-be 15-time WWE World Champion.
00:21:10So, again, I appreciate your opinion.
00:21:15Again, I appreciate your opinion.
00:21:18But I think I've done pretty damn good for myself.
00:21:38Hell yeah.
00:21:46Randy, that's all good for you.
00:21:48But I got stuck when you said you're unpredictable.
00:21:51I think it's the opposite.
00:21:53I think you're very predictable.
00:21:55So, let me predict a few things for you.
00:21:59Prediction number one.
00:22:02I'm gonna give you the beating of your lifetime when we meet in Berlin.
00:22:11Prediction number two.
00:22:13Because of that, Randy, you will never be World Heavyweight Champion again.
00:22:24If anybody wonders why I'm so sure about that.
00:22:28Randy, let's be honest.
00:22:30When it really, really matters, you always screw it up.
00:22:37And...
00:22:39Listen to me.
00:22:42I don't wanna throw this at you like an insult because it just comes naturally to you, I feel like.
00:22:50Because your grandfather...
00:22:55was a screw-up.
00:23:01Your father...
00:23:07was a screw-up.
00:23:11And you, Randy Orton, you are the biggest screw-up of them all.
00:23:37McIntyre.
00:23:40Some incredibly disrespectful things from Guthard to Randy Orton and now...
00:23:45Now we got Drew McIntyre coming out.
00:24:06C-J-T-O! C-J-T-O! C-J-T-O! C-J-T-O! C-J-T-O! C-J-T-O!
00:24:20RKO out of nowhere!
00:24:23Guthard just screwed up!
00:24:28Guthard said he would always see it coming, but he didn't see it coming tonight!
00:24:33Meanwhile, Punk! It's Punk! Punk attacking McIntyre!
00:24:38Punk coming from out of nowhere to attack McIntyre!
00:24:42Punk allegedly had travel issues, wasn't able to make it.
00:24:45Certainly wasn't gonna miss an opportunity to attack Drew McIntyre. What the hell is he thinking?
00:24:50McIntyre's gonna... He's obviously gonna punish Punk here.
00:24:54Belted hand! Punk in and out of harm's way and now Punk with the right hand!
00:24:58And these two continue to brawl! This personal issue!
00:25:03Between Punk and McIntyre! Simmering fight! And now Punk with the belted hand!
00:25:10Punk whipping the hell out of McIntyre!
00:25:13His own belt!
00:25:18No shot for CM Punk!
00:25:20And Punk's not done yet! Publicly flogging Drew McIntyre on Monday Night Raw!
00:25:27Drew McIntyre might have got to win that SummerSlam with CM Punk!
00:25:32And McIntyre in retreat! That had to feel great for CM Punk!
00:25:37A long time coming for that loudmouth McIntyre!
00:25:41Physically, spiritually, emotionally, what a night for CM Punk here in Austin!
00:25:48What an incredible moment! First the RKO out of nowhere to Guthrie!
00:25:52And then CM Punk turned the tables on McIntyre!
00:25:58Oui, oui, says CM Punk!
00:26:03On the whole damn scene!
00:26:06I'm backstage with Sheamus and Sheamus, I was hoping to get your reaction to what Pete Dunne had to say earlier.
00:26:12I'm backstage with Sheamus and Sheamus, I was hoping to get your reaction to what Pete Dunne had to say earlier.
00:26:18He seems to hold a lot of resentment towards the name Butch and you.
00:26:23You know, I could understand a lot of mysteries, Jackie.
00:26:25You know, how the pyramids were built, if aliens really exist.
00:26:28I could even give you Bigfoot's name and address.
00:26:31But the one mystery I can't understand is why Pete Dunne has so much beef with me.
00:26:36I mean, all I ever did was try to raise that angry Englishman up.
00:26:39And yet somehow he blames me for falling off the WWE radar.
00:26:43Me! I mean, I was there six months in traction.
00:26:46Nerves getting burned in the back of my neck, not knowing if I was ever going to get back.
00:26:50And he blames me!
00:26:52But the ironic thing is, now he's making himself relevant again off my name.
00:26:56Truth is, Jackie, I damned if you do, but...
00:26:58Hey, old fella!
00:26:59Excuse me, Jackie.
00:27:03I put you through a real banger last week, didn't I?
00:27:06You did, yeah.
00:27:07Right?
00:27:08Well, I'm just here to tell you, don't make the mistake of believing that this is over.
00:27:13Because it's not.
00:27:15It is far from over.
00:27:16I told you, I'll come back to put an end to the Celtic Warrior once...
00:27:23...for all.
00:27:24You get that?
00:27:25Oh, I get it.
00:27:26Yeah?
00:27:27Because that broke to your skull must have damaged your brain a lot last week.
00:27:29But if you want to go with me...
00:27:30Hey!
00:27:31Pete Dunne from behind with a shillelagh!
00:27:36Heads up, Rage!
00:27:43Take it out on Shane!
00:27:46Pete, that's enough!
00:27:47Pete, that's enough!
00:27:48Pete, that's enough!
00:27:49They're throwing a long time for Pete Dunne.
00:27:52Come on, keep it back! That's enough, Pete!
00:27:54Blaming Shane as well.
00:27:55Oh my goodness, man!
00:27:56Breaking his...
00:27:57Breaking his hand!
00:27:58Get out of here!
00:28:00Get out!
00:28:01He's gonna get a slap on the way out.
00:28:06Quiet on the set.
00:28:07Can we please have quiet?
00:28:09Has been simmering for a long time with Pete Dunne.
00:28:12Everybody had a say earlier tonight in the interview with Jackie Redman.
00:28:17Awesome!
00:28:19I came to play!
00:28:20I came to play!
00:28:21There's a place to play!
00:28:22Jackie, you need to get down on your knees!
00:28:24The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:28:27Introducing first, accompanied by R-Truth!
00:28:31Residing in Hollywood, California.
00:28:33Weighing in at 221 pounds.
00:28:36The Miz!
00:28:42Ladies and gentlemen, The Miz is in this predicament because of R-Truth.
00:28:47He thought he was getting Miz a match with Braun Breaker for the Intercontinental title.
00:28:51Instead, it's Bronson 3.
00:28:55R-Truth and The Miz are certainly a unique relationship.
00:28:58And of course, The Miz, a former MTV star.
00:29:01And this match is presented by MTV's The Challenge 40.
00:29:04Battle of the Eras.
00:29:05Premiering Wednesday at 8, 7 Central on MTV.
00:29:08Miz, Big Bronson Reed, live next.
00:29:11Big Bronson Reed.
00:29:29Excuse me, Punk.
00:29:31Earlier tonight, it was cited that you were experiencing travel issues.
00:29:35But, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure we were on the same flight to Austin.
00:29:39And I experienced no sort of delay.
00:29:41No, you are not wrong.
00:29:43That was me on your flight.
00:29:45We sat next to each other.
00:29:49I told a little white lie because I figured if I showed up, Drew wouldn't.
00:29:52And we saw how fast he ran out there.
00:29:55I just got done watching a bunch of the Olympic athletes on the track and field.
00:29:58Drew could give them a run for their money.
00:30:00No, I told a little white lie to get my hands on Drew.
00:30:03Because he's running around with the bracelet.
00:30:05With my wife's name on it.
00:30:07With my dog's name on it.
00:30:08And it's not about the bracelet.
00:30:10In fact, Drew can keep the bracelet.
00:30:12It's the context.
00:30:14It's the names that are on the bracelet.
00:30:17He can keep the bracelet, but he's going to keep my wife's name out of his mouth.
00:30:20He's not allowed to speak Larry's name without the consequences and the repercussions.
00:30:25And I'm glad I came to Austin, Texas.
00:30:27I've flown a lot farther to put a beating on Drew.
00:30:31I went to Glasgow to watch him embarrass himself in front of his home country.
00:30:35And this isn't going to stop until I get my hands on him.
00:30:37And it's funny because I know he's going to call me a hypocrite for saying I had travel problems and showing up when he least expected it.
00:30:44But this is a man who says he hates my guts but wants to stay attached to me via the bracelet.
00:30:50Yet wants to run from a fight that he picked.
00:30:53And I'm glad I showed up in Austin because I think I just figured out a way to make everybody happy.
00:31:01Thanks so much for clarifying.
00:31:07Big Journalism.
00:31:11Look at The Miz.
00:31:13Hell of a run.
00:31:23Well there's Miz, not happy with R-Truth right now.
00:31:25R-Truth got him in this mix-up, this match with Big Bronson Reed.
00:31:32He's going to need some help.
00:31:33Special guest here tonight Pat.
00:31:36WWE Hall of Famer.
00:31:40Bustin' Open Legend.
00:31:42Mark Henry.
00:31:44And don't forget his son Jacob.
00:31:46His son Jacob is squatting 650 pounds already.
00:31:50From the University of Oklahoma.
00:31:52Part of the NIL program here at WWE.
00:31:55We had an interesting chat with this young man earlier today.
00:31:59Absolutely, Mark Henry one of the finest gentlemen to ever walk this earth.
00:32:03And obviously the strongest in his son.
00:32:05His following suit.
00:32:09And his opponent from Black Forest, South Australia.
00:32:13Weighing in at 330 pounds.
00:32:16Big Bronson Reed!
00:32:22General Manager Adam Pearce.
00:32:24Upset that he was called out for not being out here for the attack by Reed on Rollins last week.
00:32:29Said he was escorting Drew McIntyre from the building at the time.
00:32:33Fined this man not once, but twice.
00:32:36Because of the six tsunamis he delivered.
00:32:39In an unprecedented assault on Seth Franken-Rollins.
00:32:43Who's going to be out of action now for a while with broken ribs and internal bruising.
00:32:49Yeah, Bronson Reed said the fines were worth it to make a name for himself.
00:32:55I did what I had to do.
00:32:57I crushed one of WWE's golden boys.
00:33:02He certainly did.
00:33:05Somehow now he has a match with The Miz.
00:33:07And The Miz is contemplating everything, I assume.
00:33:11Well of course The Miz is a veteran.
00:33:12A two-time WWE Champion.
00:33:14Eight-time Intercontinental Champion among his other accolades.
00:33:17As Bronson Reed misses wildly.
00:33:19And Miz going to have to try to use that veteran instinct to try to stay away.
00:33:22And pick up some sort of big win over Bronson Reed here tonight.
00:33:26Miz says to hell with it.
00:33:27I'm going to take the attack to Big Bronson Reed.
00:33:29I like it.
00:33:31Until it doesn't work.
00:33:32Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
00:33:34We shall see.
00:33:35And Reed misses wildly again.
00:33:37Oh goodness!
00:33:38There's the punch in the face.
00:33:39And it wasn't with a fist.
00:33:40It was with his stomach.
00:33:41Yeah, just ran into a brick wall and then delivered an elbow.
00:33:44I still have nightmares, Pat, of that attack last week.
00:33:47On Seth Rollins by this man, Big Bronson Reed.
00:33:49Like a bowling ball running through Miz.
00:33:5210,000 plus pounds of demolition to Seth Recon Rollins last week.
00:33:58And now the Miz is on the receiving end.
00:34:00And now R-Truth trying to help out his buddy, his tag team partner.
00:34:04And Bronson Reed now off the apron just drilling Miz.
00:34:08Reed dominating again.
00:34:10How do you stop this man?
00:34:17We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:34:19It's The Miz and Big Bronson Reed.
00:34:21R-Truth got the Miz into this predicament.
00:34:23But the better Miz trying to stay in here.
00:34:24Reed, the one who had just destroyed Seth Rollins,
00:34:27after the sneak attack last week.
00:34:29Yeah, Big Bronson Reed's attitude has certainly changed over the last couple weeks.
00:34:33Oh, and Bronson Reed's in outside the ring.
00:34:36Reed may be in trouble.
00:34:37Here comes Miz.
00:34:38Miz looking to take the big man down.
00:34:40Driving him back to the barricade.
00:34:42Ah, he's got the boot.
00:34:44And the Miz launches himself up to the top rope.
00:34:46And Bronson Reed could be in trouble.
00:34:48He's got the big man reeling.
00:34:50Big Bronson reeling.
00:34:54R-Truth playing cheerleader.
00:34:56Two plus decades in the ring for the Miz.
00:34:59Miz hanging to Bronson Reed on the top rope.
00:35:02And Miz could have a chance here.
00:35:04Miz slides underneath.
00:35:05The former WWE champion.
00:35:07Head of steam.
00:35:08Reed misses wildly.
00:35:10Uh-oh.
00:35:11Good night, Miz.
00:35:12Oh, no.
00:35:13Miz with a great counter.
00:35:14A DDT.
00:35:15There's the cover for the win.
00:35:17And Reed kicked at one.
00:35:19You see, that's where the Miz, you see the shock on his face.
00:35:23Because the Miz just did everything he possibly thought he had to do.
00:35:28And Bronson kicks out after one.
00:35:30Didn't even faze the big Bronson Reed.
00:35:33Again, Truth trying to will the Miz in this matchup.
00:35:36One-on-one with big Bronson Reed.
00:35:41And Reed begging for more.
00:35:43And the self-proclaimed it kicks.
00:35:50Not even phasing Mr. Reed.
00:35:52And he caught Miz.
00:35:54Miz in trouble.
00:35:56Oh, Miz lands on his feet, though, into the corner.
00:35:58Sidesteps Reed using his quickness here.
00:36:01Miz into the corner with his patented clothesline.
00:36:04The Miz is quick as a meerkat here.
00:36:07Miz has been a step ahead of Reed for much of this matchup.
00:36:11Miz now, top rope, gonna launch himself, caught, though, by Reed.
00:36:15With Miz up on his shoulders, Death Valley Driver.
00:36:20Perfectly placed.
00:36:23Passed down the hatches.
00:36:25There's a storm a-comin'.
00:36:28Tsunami!
00:36:37Here is your winner,
00:36:39Big Bronson Reed!
00:36:44Big Bronson Reed takes out the Miz here tonight.
00:36:48The man who said, I've been telling the world I'm one of the best in the business.
00:36:52It's been falling on deaf ears.
00:36:54I'm not here to play around.
00:36:56And Bronson Reed is heading up to the top rope again.
00:36:59R-Truth trying to talk the big man down and save his friend.
00:37:05And he moves Miz out of harm's way and a flying crossbody
00:37:08by Bronson Reed.
00:37:10About split R-Truth in half.
00:37:13Crossbody tsunami.
00:37:16And Reed not done yet.
00:37:18330 pounds!
00:37:19Tsunami!
00:37:24A count of only five.
00:37:27Ripping through Texas.
00:37:29Tsunami again. Come on now.
00:37:31Enough is enough.
00:37:33He already cost Seth Rollins who knows how long in his career.
00:37:37Reed up to the top rope again.
00:37:39Here come officials.
00:37:41Call the Texas Rangers.
00:37:44Get this big man out of the way.
00:37:46And here's Pierce.
00:37:48The general manager is out here now.
00:37:50Do something Pierce. Do something.
00:37:53Come on you bone students.
00:37:55Stop this big bastard.
00:37:58He's gonna kill a national treasure.
00:38:00And again another tsunami to Truth.
00:38:03Truth's a damn national treasure.
00:38:08Stop him.
00:38:09Truth's gonna be on the extinction list.
00:38:13Somebody get a net for this thing.
00:38:16The officials trying to drag Truth out of harm's way
00:38:19and Pierce reading the riot act.
00:38:21Get a train in here Pierce.
00:38:24Get a train in here.
00:38:26King Kong needs to be controlled.
00:38:31We're not gonna have a roster anymore.
00:38:37Get out of the way.
00:38:41Pierce needs to do something.
00:38:43This maniac's out of control.
00:38:45He was already fined twice by the general manager.
00:38:48And tonight he about killed our Truth.
00:38:53What the hell is that?
00:38:55And Reed's not done.
00:38:56Now he's going up to the other corner.
00:38:59Noble George better get out of the way.
00:39:01Another tsunami by Bronson Reed.
00:39:05Absolutely out of control.
00:39:09This wild animal.
00:39:12This little beast.
00:39:15This loose cannon.
00:39:17This wrecking ball.
00:39:21This son of a bitch.
00:39:27When Bronson Reed's fined, general manager Adam Pierce brought this all on himself.
00:39:33Reed didn't believe he got any opportunities from this man
00:39:36and he decided to take matters into his own hands.
00:39:39On a consecutive week.
00:39:43Look at that damn suspension.
00:39:45Move.
00:39:46Let's move.
00:39:48Let's move.
00:39:49What are you doing?
00:39:51Adam Pierce obviously has a rock of plates spinning at one time.
00:39:56And this big Bronson Reed one is the most destructive in Austin, Texas.
00:40:02And Reed ignoring Adam Pierce's commands to head to the back.
00:40:07Bronson Reed heading back up to the top rope again.
00:40:10That's Jamie Noble trying to get in his way.
00:40:12And another tsunami to throw.
00:40:15Our Truth has been destroyed by Reed.
00:40:19Where the hell are the doctors?
00:40:22Where the hell...
00:40:24Where are the paramedics?
00:40:26Where are the zookeepers?
00:40:28Where is security?
00:40:30Where is anybody to stop this thing?
00:40:45Geeks.
00:40:46Geeks.
00:40:47Let's go, man.
00:40:49Let's go.
00:40:51All you gotta do tonight is be you, Sammy Zane, bro.
00:40:55Go get that title back, my dog.
00:40:57It's not gonna be easy, dog. I gotta beat him.
00:40:59Come on, bro. You already beat him.
00:41:00It's not easy to beat. I gotta beat him twice.
00:41:02Well, then you're gonna beat him again.
00:41:04And then you're gonna beat him again.
00:41:06And then after that, me and you going after the judgment day.
00:41:09Getting these tag team championships, Zeus.
00:41:11And guess what?
00:41:12We're gonna beat them again.
00:41:14Yeah?
00:41:17But, hey.
00:41:18Are you ready, though?
00:41:20Come on. Talk to me. Talk to me.
00:41:23I said, my dog, are you ready for the night now?
00:41:28Huh?
00:41:29Huh?
00:41:30My dog, you know.
00:41:31You know I'm ready.
00:41:32I know you're ready.
00:41:33I know you're ready, man.
00:41:34You're ready like a hot bull.
00:41:35Here we go. Here we go.
00:41:36Wait for the match.
00:41:37I love you. I love you.
00:41:38I love you.
00:41:41And that's this weekend.
00:41:42But tonight, Pat, we are in the capital city of Texas.
00:41:45This is Austin, where Monday Night Raw is presented by MTV's The Challenge 40.
00:41:51Battle of the Eras premiering Wednesday at 8, 7 Central on MTV.
00:41:57Sorry. I got to break your news.
00:41:59Really? I was about to say the stars are out.
00:42:01We'll get to that in a moment.
00:42:02Make sure you break the news tonight.
00:42:03Bash in Berlin.
00:42:04This matchup just added two weeks from Saturday.
00:42:08Mixed tag team action.
00:42:10Pat calls him the Terror Twin.
00:42:12Damien Priest and Rhea Ripley going to take on Dirty Dom and the Women's World Champion, Liv Morgan.
00:42:18Bash in Berlin.
00:42:19Oh, boy.
00:42:20Liv and Dom going to finally get theirs.
00:42:27We are the Judgment Day.
00:42:29No leaders.
00:42:31No eagles.
00:42:33No Rhea.
00:42:35No Damien.
00:42:37Terror Twins?
00:42:39You two losers are a joke.
00:42:41No couple in WWE.
00:42:44No couple in the world compares to me and Liv.
00:42:48In a few short weeks on the Judgment Day reveal,
00:42:53In a few short weeks on the Judgment Day revenge tour,
00:42:57we make a stop at Bash in Berlin where we make Rhea Ripley and Damien Priest pay
00:43:02for putting their hands on the most gorgeous men in the world.
00:43:11Oh, and Damien.
00:43:13Watch out.
00:43:15Because Backstabber Balor's about.
00:43:23That's two weeks from Saturday.
00:43:26Bash in Berlin.
00:43:27But next week, Monday Night Raw is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
00:43:30where we have a triple threat match for the Women's Tag Team titles.
00:43:34Byron Dawn against Damage Control and the brand new group of Shayna Baszler
00:43:40is only starting in that matchup.
00:43:42Pure Fusion Selective.
00:43:44Meanwhile,
00:43:45Collective.
00:43:46Collective.
00:43:47I'll get there.
00:43:48Meanwhile, Sheamus and Pete Dunne.
00:43:49This is going to be a banger.
00:43:51Absolutely.
00:43:52Banger after banger is what Sheamus produces,
00:43:54but there's a lot of spite coming from Pete Dunne next Monday.
00:43:58Also next week, six-man tag team matchup.
00:44:00The New Day in Odyssey Jones.
00:44:03Take on the Final Testament next week right here on Monday Night Raw.
00:44:08Excited to see Odyssey Jones alongside the New Day.
00:44:14Also pumped for this main event.
00:44:22The stars are out here in Austin at the Moody Center.
00:44:31Mark Henry here, his son.
00:44:33I believe there was a tape sighting earlier.
00:44:36The band Nether Hour is here.
00:44:39Uncle Lazer is here.
00:44:41Candice Michelle.
00:44:44And Sami Zayn.
00:44:46And McCool.
00:44:49Monday night in Austin, Texas.
00:44:52Sami looking to become a five-time Intercontinental Champion.
00:44:56But in order to do that, Pat,
00:44:58he's going to have to beat Braun Breaker two out of three falls.
00:45:02Yeah, certainly not the best odds for Sami Zayn against the man, Braun Breaker.
00:45:08But this man loves to fight, and he's in for a few tonight.
00:45:13Sami Zayn, who defeated Braun Breaker back in July at Money in the Bank.
00:45:19Breaker knocked off Sami Zayn earlier this month at SummerSlam in Cleveland
00:45:23to win his first major championship here on the main roster at WWE.
00:45:28Talked to Sami earlier today.
00:45:30Very confident heading into this matchup tonight.
00:45:35His resilience, his grit would certainly bode well for him
00:45:39would certainly bode well for him in a two out of three falls match,
00:45:42but he's taking on Braun Breaker.
00:45:57I see everyone when they do these things.
00:46:00They like to talk about how great they are
00:46:02or maybe what they're going to do to somebody out in that ring.
00:46:04That's just not my style.
00:46:06So I'm going to do things the good old-fashioned way.
00:46:09A little bit of actions speak louder than words.
00:46:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a badass.
00:46:19And it's time to do what badasses do.
00:46:23Football guy, Pat McAfee.
00:46:27We got any dogs barking in Austin?
00:46:31Hit by music.
00:46:33Yes, we do, Braun!
00:46:35The dogs are barking in Texas!
00:46:38You're ridiculous.
00:46:39I didn't tell them to say that.
00:46:42It is a good question, though.
00:46:59The unpredictable, badass, Braun Breaker.
00:47:03The current Intercontinental Champion.
00:47:09The dogs are barking all around the globe for this man.
00:47:14How could you not be excited to become Intercontinental Champion
00:47:17this quick into his career?
00:47:21It's a sign.
00:47:24Thanks for coming.
00:47:25It's been a meteoric rise for Braun Breaker.
00:47:28First at NXT, and now here on Monday Night Raw.
00:47:36Obviously a generational talent.
00:47:40But his physical capabilities are just as good as his in-ring IQ.
00:47:47Built to be a force.
00:47:50Yeah, but will he still be Intercontinental Champion
00:47:54when Monday Night Raw heads to Fort Lauderdale, Florida next week?
00:48:00Will it be Breaker, or will it be Sami Zayn carrying the gold?
00:48:08Shout-out to Nikki.
00:48:12The following is a two out of three falls match,
00:48:16and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:48:25Introducing the challenger, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
00:48:30weighing in at 212 pounds,
00:48:34Sami Zayn!
00:48:45And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia,
00:48:49weighing in at 250 pounds,
00:48:53he is the Intercontinental Champion,
00:48:58Braun Breaker!
00:49:08So this is two out of three falls.
00:49:10Pat, who does that format, in your mind, favor here tonight?
00:49:13In my mind, any match that Braun Breaker is in, he has favored it.
00:49:18He is built for success.
00:49:20But Sami Zayn has all of the traits that you would need
00:49:23in this type of stamina battle.
00:49:27It's for the prestigious Intercontinental Championship.
00:49:30Breaker, Zayn, best two out of three falls.
00:49:32And Breaker going to take the fight to Sami Zayn early.
00:49:35The veteran Zayn looking to weather the early storm of Breaker.
00:49:39Stay in this.
00:49:41Hoping that the younger Breaker makes a mistake that Zayn can capitalize on.
00:49:46Sami's a veteran, obviously, but
00:49:48Braun Breaker's been in the business since he was a kid.
00:49:51Understands everything about everything in here.
00:49:53Leapfrog by Sami, sends Breaker up over the top rope into the pool.
00:49:57And Sami Zayn, may have Breaker where he wants him.
00:50:02Zayn, going to fly through the rope.
00:50:04Sami, mid-fly!
00:50:06Takes out Braun Breaker!
00:50:08Can Sami win the Intercontinental Championship?
00:50:11This is the best out of two free falls in our main event on Raw.
00:50:19We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:50:22Braun Breaker, cover on Sami Zayn.
00:50:24Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:50:26Best two out of three falls for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:50:29No one has a fall yet.
00:50:33Breaker, the current champion.
00:50:34Sami Zayn, the number one contender.
00:50:37But Breaker has taken over, Pat, now, during the commercial break.
00:50:40Yeah, this is a P.O.E. match on a Monday night.
00:50:42It's not going anywhere!
00:50:44You understand me?
00:50:47You can't take this from me!
00:50:49That's the ruthlessness that Braun Breaker has.
00:50:53That's an in-your-face attitude.
00:50:56The no-B.S. attitude of Braun Breaker.
00:50:59Powerhouse style.
00:51:01It's clear people love it.
00:51:03And Sami, no.
00:51:04Breaker telegraphed that.
00:51:05Sami took advantage.
00:51:06And Zayn, now, with an elbow.
00:51:08And, of course, Sami Zayn.
00:51:10He's talking about his heart and resilience.
00:51:12But what a slam!
00:51:13Cover by Breaker!
00:51:15And Sami kicked out somehow.
00:51:17But what about the sudden impact of Braun Breaker?
00:51:21Just studying film.
00:51:22Knowing exactly what Sami's going to do at the right time.
00:51:25And bang!
00:51:27Having a slam reversal like that.
00:51:30There's a reason this guy's the Intercontinental Champion already.
00:51:33He's so ahead of the curve in big match experience.
00:51:36Not only here, but, of course, at NXT.
00:51:41So much feel.
00:51:42Sami Zayn.
00:51:44Whoa.
00:51:45Lands on his feet.
00:51:46Stumble a bit.
00:51:47Able to regroup.
00:51:49Couple of chops to Breaker.
00:51:51Sami Zayn going to run the tightrope here.
00:51:53From the top rope.
00:51:54Breaker sent down with an EDT.
00:51:56Sami, cover!
00:51:57To try to win the first fall in this matchup.
00:51:59Breaker kicks.
00:52:03It's amazing how quick Sami can get to his moves.
00:52:09You think he's out.
00:52:10Bang!
00:52:11Tornado DDT.
00:52:13Loves what he does.
00:52:15Never say die attitude.
00:52:17Went for the Blue Thunder Bomb.
00:52:18Breaker was able to counter.
00:52:21That's good weight control by Brock Breaker there.
00:52:23Breaker with a straight right hand to Zayn.
00:52:25Sami whipped across the ring.
00:52:27Going to come off the bottom rope.
00:52:29Caught.
00:52:30Waistlock by Breaker.
00:52:31Into a German Suplex!
00:52:39Everything he does is just technical side.
00:52:42Breaker with a big clothesline in the corner.
00:52:48The intense and gruff Breaker.
00:52:51The current Intercontinental Champion.
00:52:55Sami though!
00:52:56Halloumi kick!
00:52:57A halloumi kick by Sami!
00:52:59From out of nowhere!
00:53:00Collapses into the cover!
00:53:02Zayn's got the first fall!
00:53:04He caught him on the button post.
00:53:06The winner of the first fall is Sami Zayn!
00:53:10Sami Zayn caught Brock Breaker with a halloumi kick.
00:53:15He wins the first fall.
00:53:17He's one fall away from winning the Intercontinental Championship for a fifth time.
00:53:22That is not what our champion wanted or needed.
00:53:25Breaker stunned by Zayn.
00:53:27And suddenly Pat, Sami Zayn is in the driver's seat.
00:53:33And that's what the veteran needed.
00:53:35He needed just a small opening and he capitalized.
00:53:40And now Sami taking the fight to Breaker.
00:53:43Put that halloumi kick right on the button.
00:53:45Sami off the barricade.
00:53:47Moonsault. Breaker catches him though.
00:53:51And now driving Sami!
00:53:53Oh my God!
00:53:54Who?
00:53:55Please!
00:53:56Sami's dead!
00:53:57Who?
00:54:00Sami Zayn is up one fall to none.
00:54:02But the Intercontinental Champion Braun Breaker has taken over.
00:54:06Losing that first fall has just ticked Breaker off.
00:54:09And Sami trying to stay in this.
00:54:11Yeah, Braun Breaker has slipped and slipped since that first loss.
00:54:14But Sami can end this.
00:54:16Yeah, looking for a clean sweep here of the champion.
00:54:20Break inside!
00:54:22Sami sent across the ring!
00:54:24Cover by Breaker!
00:54:26Sami kicked out!
00:54:30I want to show you what happened.
00:54:31This is unbelievable.
00:54:32What we witnessed right before the commercial break.
00:54:36Braun Breaker, look at this angle.
00:54:38Sami Zayn flying head over heels into the timekeeper's area.
00:54:42Not only the power, obviously the agility of Braun Breaker is what makes him so special.
00:54:46And a break and Steiner almost touching back up.
00:54:50You think Braun's getting a bit frustrated.
00:54:52He hasn't been able to put the veteran Sami Zayn away.
00:54:55Sami up one fall to none.
00:54:57Best two out of three falls for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:55:00Gorilla press power slam by Breaker.
00:55:06Braun knew what he was signing up for with Sami.
00:55:10Knew he was going to be in for a fight.
00:55:12Spear!
00:55:17And Breaker going straps down.
00:55:19He's not done yet.
00:55:23Braun Breaker wants to punish and torture Sami Zayn.
00:55:28And another spear to Sami.
00:55:30Cover by the champion.
00:55:32We are nodding at a fall apiece.
00:55:36The winner of the second fall is Braun Breaker!
00:55:41So now Pat, we're in sudden death.
00:55:43The winner of the next fall will be the Intercontinental Champion.
00:55:46That's if they can scrape Sami off the mat after these two massive spears by Braun Breaker.
00:55:52Braun's so explosive coming off the ropes.
00:55:5520 plus mile an hour.
00:55:57Sawing Sami in half.
00:56:00You have to believe that.
00:56:02An official Chad Patton keeping Breaker away.
00:56:05Making sure that Sami is going to be able to go for a third round here.
00:56:13Dogs are barking in Austin as Braun Breaker.
00:56:16And Breaker, but wait a minute!
00:56:18Sami reverses things and he almost stole the championship from Breaker.
00:56:21Nonchalant cover.
00:56:23Sami trying to take advantage.
00:56:26Sami was baiting Braun Breaker.
00:56:29And almost took advantage of the young buck.
00:56:33And Sami Zayn now just collapsing on our announce table.
00:56:37And Braun Breaker with that intense look in his eyes.
00:56:40Bouncing Sami off the announce table.
00:56:49Official Chad Patton trying to get some sort of control here.
00:56:52Breaker breaks the count.
00:56:54Sami Zayn in trouble.
00:56:56Braun Breaker like a jungle cat.
00:56:59Like a Texas Longhorn driving Sami through the announce table.
00:57:04He was pawing at the dirt and he drove Sami Zayn right into the table.
00:57:10Pounces from the ring to the commentary table.
00:57:15This is incredible.
00:57:17The athleticism, the power, the intensity of Braun Breaker.
00:57:23And Sami Zayn could be counted out in this matchup.
00:57:27The official at a count of 3.
00:57:29Senior official Chad Patton now at a count of 4.
00:57:35Braun Breaker going to take a count out victory.
00:57:38At 7 now on Sami Zayn.
00:57:40Could you imagine keeping Sami Zayn out of the ring for a 10 count?
00:57:44A count of 8.
00:57:45A count of 9.
00:57:46Sami Zayn barely beats the count into the ring.
00:57:49Braun Breaker now just realizing what happened.
00:57:53Braun Breaker about an eighth of a second away from retaining his Intercontinental title here tonight.
00:57:58Sami wants more I guess.
00:58:00Look at the sneer on the face of Breaker.
00:58:11And Breaker is not done yet.

00:58:37How is Sami still doing this?
00:58:40How did Breaker kick out of this?
00:58:42The Sunset Flip Powerbomb.
00:58:45Sami Zayn to Braun Breaker.
00:58:50Austin, Texas can't help but be impressed with the fight that Sami Zayn is showing.
00:58:54Yeah, the fight of the veteran.
00:58:56The fight of the challenger.

00:59:25Braun was stunned off the turnbuckle there.
00:59:27Oh, and what a knee by Breaker.
00:59:30It's like a desperation knee to the mouth from Braun Breaker.
00:59:34Still reeling from the missed spear.
00:59:38He's found his balance.
00:59:39Full head of steam.
00:59:40Sami caught him with a kick.
00:59:42Almost a version of a halloumi kick.
00:59:44In the middle of the ring for the win.
00:59:46And the title and Breaker kicks out.
00:59:52Sami Zayn is almost intercontinental champion.
00:59:56Sami can't believe it.
00:59:58He almost had Breaker done there.
01:00:00He had almost won the title for the fifth time.
01:00:04We're tied at one.
01:00:06We're in sudden death next fall.
01:00:10The winner will be champ.
01:00:13Sami heading up to the top rope.

01:00:50An impressive victory tonight for Braun Breaker, Pat.
01:00:55We did some physics earlier this evening.
01:00:58I don't know how Sami Zayn's soul is still in his body.
01:01:02But he almost won this a few times.
01:01:04Right here.
01:01:06That body goes limp quick.
