00:00:00to be a part of it.
00:00:31You want to know what the most passionate, extreme WWE fans look like?
00:00:37Sound like? Act like?
00:00:39Look no further than Philly.
00:00:42Tonight, a packed Wells Fargo Center is home to Monday Night Raw.
00:00:48And we have the much anticipated rematch.
00:00:52It's the fan-treasured Intercontinental Champion, Jey Uso.
00:00:56For the second time in a couple weeks, he's putting the Intercontinental title on the line.
00:01:01The badass is determined to get it back.
00:01:03Broad Breaker has been super-spearing everything in sight.
00:01:07It's Jey in that history-rich belt that he's targeting.
00:01:12And we're getting closer to deciding things.
00:01:17Triple H revealed it. It has quickly become one of the most prized possessions.
00:01:22The over-the-top, incredibly-glazed, crown-jeweled championship belt is here.
00:01:27Cody and Gunther will battle for it.
00:01:29Nia and Liv will clash for it.
00:01:35American-made.
00:01:37The Julius and Brutus will be in action.
00:01:40Number one tag-team contenders.
00:01:43Tournament is on the line.
00:01:45Oh, they've conquered bitter rivals and now focused on fresh ones.
00:01:49The Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio, is teaming with the dynamic young star he mentors, Dragon Lee.
00:01:55The high-flying duo trying to make it to the tourney finals.
00:02:01Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you.
00:02:03Twelve days away from things in Saudi.
00:02:07But right now, Big Bronson Reed is arriving at the arena.
00:02:13Seth Rollins! Seth freakin' Rollins!
00:02:20We're just getting started!
00:02:22The security is separating them.
00:02:28Remember, it was August 6th that it all started.
00:02:30Six tsunamis and Seth Rollins was out of action.
00:02:34Seth freakin' Rollins is headed our way!
00:02:38He returned on September 30th and stomped Reed's head in the steel steps.
00:02:44And now, with this intensity, here he comes.
00:02:48Seth Rollins!
00:02:53Wasting no time, taking over Raw immediately.
00:02:56Cut it! Cut it!
00:03:00Billy, let's get crazy! Right here, right now!
00:03:04Bronson Reed, you want to be famous, big boy?
00:03:09I'll make your ass famous!
00:03:11Get out here and let's fight!
00:03:15He's asking for Big Bronson Reed immediately, Wade.
00:03:19Bronson Reed just got laid out.
00:03:21And here's General Manager Alan Pearce.
00:03:24Oh, man!
00:03:26Security guard just went flying!
00:03:30And Reed just plowing through security on his way to the ring.
00:03:34Just give up while you can, security!
00:03:38Look at what happened at the capper of the Last Monster Standing Match.
00:03:42Here goes Seth flying at him!
00:03:46A highly enraged Seth freakin' Rollins,
00:03:49who has been desperate for a piece of payback for months now
00:03:54against the man who put himself on the map at Seth Rollins' expense,
00:03:59Bronson Reed.
00:04:02Security now in the ring.
00:04:03Adam Pearce has ordered them to be separated,
00:04:06and finally they're able to do that.
00:04:08Well, hats off to the security crew.
00:04:10They've already been flattened once.
00:04:12They're coming back.
00:04:13Oh, no!
00:04:14Now's round two, lads.
00:04:15Headbutt and two elbows, and now the coast is clear!
00:04:19Big boot!
00:04:21Death Valley Driver!
00:04:24Six tsunamis ago.
00:04:26Oh, my God.
00:04:27Look what's coming, Joe!
00:04:28Look what's coming, Joe!
00:04:30It's an instant replay.
00:04:32Oh!
00:04:33Oh, and that's smart enough of Seth Rollins
00:04:35just to roll out of the ring.
00:04:36Well, he had to.
00:04:37He's about to spend a couple of months on the shelf,
00:04:40but Bronson Reed refusing to stop it.
00:04:44He's coming our way.
00:04:45Oh, God.
00:04:46Oh, man.
00:04:47330 pounds just blasted him to the floor
00:04:51as Rollins trying to get to his feet.
00:04:55No security trying to get on top of him.
00:04:58No security trying to get on top of this again.
00:05:00Security have no chance here.
00:05:03But Seth freaking Rollins,
00:05:05for all his freakish abilities,
00:05:07he just cannot stop this.
00:05:08He's not gonna go on top.
00:05:09Bronson Reed!
00:05:11Oh, there's the security guard.
00:05:13He's on top of him!
00:05:14Oh, my God.
00:05:15What is he gonna do to this poor man?
00:05:18Oh, Rollins is in a compromised position.
00:05:21Get ready for it, Joe.
00:05:23It's coming soon!
00:05:24No!
00:05:28At the last second,
00:05:30Rollins escapes harm.
00:05:34The announced desk is...
00:05:37...back Rollins.
00:05:40This...
00:05:41...madness...
00:05:42...opens up...
00:05:44...in Philly.
00:05:46Bronson Reed's signature brand of carnage
00:05:51kicks off the show once again for now.
00:05:54It seems like Seth freaking Rollins
00:05:57got the best of it,
00:05:58but Bronson Reed already back on his feet.
00:06:04This is absolutely outrageous.
00:06:10Bronson Reed has become
00:06:12a major, major problem
00:06:15for everybody but for Seth Rollins.
00:06:17And keep in mind,
00:06:18the injuries that Seth has endured
00:06:20going all the way back to WrestleMania
00:06:21and then what happened in August
00:06:23and now this chaos.
00:06:25Just broke the record
00:06:26for the fastest destruction of our desk, Joe.
00:06:29Oh, my God.
00:06:30And now the focus, obviously,
00:06:32is one of the biggest stars generationally
00:06:34in Seth Rollins, but...
00:06:36You try and be ready for everything,
00:06:37but take another look back
00:06:39at what just happened,
00:06:40this attempted tsunami from Bronson Reed.
00:06:42Seth Rollins, by the skin of his teeth,
00:06:45getting away,
00:06:46leaving Bronson Reed down,
00:06:48albeit temporarily.
00:06:50You have to think
00:06:51that is absolutely not the end of it
00:06:53for these two.
00:06:54And it's not the first time
00:06:55that we have seen him do that.
00:06:57But at the split second,
00:06:59Rollins gets out of the way.
00:07:00Now, let's focus in
00:07:01on some of the recent happenings
00:07:02going on with the women's tag titles.
00:07:04Yeah, well, let's take you back
00:07:06to one week ago on Monday Night Raw.
00:07:09Now, this was the tag champs,
00:07:11Belair and Cargill,
00:07:13as they were doing battle
00:07:15for the tag championships
00:07:17against Damage Control.
00:07:18Now, at ringside, Lash Legend
00:07:21and Jakara Jackson
00:07:22got into the verbals
00:07:24with Io Sky, a cheap shot,
00:07:27and one KOD later.
00:07:30Here comes the pin.
00:07:31Successful defense
00:07:33for Belair and Cargill.
00:07:34You have to think this one's gonna run.
00:07:36Let's go to Jackie Redman.
00:07:39Guys, thank you so much.
00:07:40Ladies, tomorrow night on NXT,
00:07:42you'll have a match
00:07:43against Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson
00:07:45who arguably cost you
00:07:47the women's tag team championships.
00:07:49Is there anything you wanna say to them
00:07:52before tomorrow night?
00:07:53Lash and Jakara are just in the way.
00:07:56We are not done with Jade and Bianca.
00:07:58And soon, we will be
00:08:00women's tag team champions.
00:08:02And so...
00:08:03Sorry, not sorry,
00:08:04but this interview's over
00:08:05because I like to talk about
00:08:06what Nia Jax said to me last week.
00:08:08Jackie, that means you can respectfully go.
00:08:09Thank you. Bye.
00:08:14Nia, if you're watching this,
00:08:16which I know you are,
00:08:17I know you only came to my show last week
00:08:20because you're just jealous of me.
00:08:22You're jealous of me because I have it all.
00:08:24I have the Women's World Championship,
00:08:26I have Daddy Dom,
00:08:27I have the Judgment Day,
00:08:28I have Raquel Rodriguez,
00:08:29and after I beat you at Crown Jewel,
00:08:31I'm gonna have the Crown Jewel Championship, too.
00:08:33Wait, wait, wait!
00:08:34Oh, I forgot you guys were here.
00:08:35This is our interview.
00:08:38I don't care.
00:08:39Go home.
00:08:40No, I don't care.
00:08:41Go home.
00:08:42Go home.
00:08:43Why are you smiling?
00:08:45Oh, I know why you guys are mad.
00:08:46You guys are talking about the tag team titles, right?
00:08:49You know Raquel and I used to be the tag team champions
00:08:51before Rhea cost us the titles.
00:08:53You know what that means?
00:08:54That means we could be tag team champions again
00:08:56any time we want.
00:08:58You're underestimating us!
00:09:01We could fight then.
00:09:03Or we could fight tonight!
00:09:06Tonight!
00:09:07Tonight!
00:09:08Tonight!
00:09:10Tonight.
00:09:13You wanna fight tonight?
00:09:15Okay.
00:09:18Let's go.
00:09:22Liv and Raquel, damage control tonight.
00:09:25Why not?
00:09:26Love that.
00:09:28And this crowd loves them.
00:09:30A month ago, the New Day challenged for the World Tag Titles.
00:09:34They could work themselves right back into that position.
00:09:37Remember Xavier Woods told Kofi Kingston
00:09:39after their failed title attempt,
00:09:41something has to change.
00:09:43That could happen in moments for New Day.
00:09:48Tensions have been abound for the past couple of months.
00:09:51It's not been a great two weeks for the New Day,
00:09:53but they are presenting a united front
00:09:56and they get an opportunity to progress
00:09:58towards the number one contendership
00:10:00for the Judgment Days Tag Championships.
00:10:03They're in action next against the monstrous AOP
00:10:07live here on Raw.
00:10:17You lucked into the biggest lottery of your entire life,
00:10:21and you beat me for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:10:24I march down to the ring.
00:10:26I shake your hand and tell you congratulations
00:10:29out of respect.
00:10:31And what do you do?
00:10:32You throw it back in my face as if I'm not going to see it.
00:10:39We don't fear nothing that exists.
00:10:41See, we're not the same.
00:10:43You want to do it on your own, Jay?
00:10:45You want to do it on your own,
00:10:47well, you're going to take this ass-kicking on your own, too.
00:10:50You take them off the list.
00:10:52I have been on this roster for 14 years,
00:10:56winning championships while you was in diapers, boy.
00:11:01We don't fear nothing that exists.
00:11:03We throw hands for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:11:06I'm going to dog walk your ass.
00:11:08You are nothing without your family.
00:11:12I'm coming back for my Intercontinental Championship.
00:11:16We're going to see what you're about.
00:11:18We're going to see what you're made of.
00:11:20The time has come. This is it.
00:11:25The rematch we've all been waiting for,
00:11:27Intercontinental Championship on the line,
00:11:29as main event, Jey Uso,
00:11:32defends against the former champ,
00:11:34the badass Brawn Breaker,
00:11:36that is later tonight in Raw's main event.
00:11:39By the way, Jey, 4-0 in his last four matches here in Philly.
00:11:42Hey, today, veteran ring announcer, Samantha Ervin,
00:11:44announced that she's moving on to new challenges.
00:11:46Everybody here wishes her all the best.
00:11:48Cannot thank her enough for the incredible memories,
00:11:50and what a thrill it is to welcome back
00:11:53longtime star ring announcer,
00:11:56Lillian Garcia Wade.
00:11:59Wow.
00:12:00The following is a first round match
00:12:03in the World Tag Team Championship
00:12:06number one containers tournament.
00:12:12Introducing first,
00:12:14the team of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston,
00:12:19The New Day.
00:12:24Man, that felt good hearing Lillian Garcia
00:12:27here on Raw once again.
00:12:35But the good feelings are evaporating.
00:12:38Yes, they are.
00:12:40Because The New Day now facing a time-tested team
00:12:43that's also trying to recapture the board.
00:12:48And their opponent,
00:12:49representing Final Testament,
00:12:52Akam and Rezar,
00:12:54the Authors of Pain.
00:12:586'3", 285 is Akam,
00:13:006'4", 330 is Rezar.
00:13:02Of course, the man with the silver tongue,
00:13:03Karrion Kross,
00:13:04leading the way with Scarlett and Paul Ellering.
00:13:07So this is how we get going
00:13:08with the World Tag Team Championship
00:13:10number one contenders tournament.
00:13:11Yeah, so to be clear,
00:13:13the War Raiders have already qualified
00:13:15for next week's Ripple Threat Final.
00:13:17Two more teams will join them in that match,
00:13:21which is gonna take place next week.
00:13:24One of these teams is in the ring right now,
00:13:27and there will be another tag match later on tonight
00:13:29to decide the third team.
00:13:31The winners of the Triple Threat next week
00:13:34will get to face Judgment Day.
00:13:36That's right.
00:13:37Remember what was said recently about Judgment Day
00:13:39and somewhat inactivity
00:13:40in terms of defending the belts?
00:13:41Well, this is the solution to that
00:13:44that Gentleman Adam Pearce put forth.
00:13:46I gotta tell you,
00:13:47I love these number one contender tournaments
00:13:49because literally every tag team in the locker room
00:13:52claims they deserve opportunity.
00:13:54That's fine.
00:13:55Big talk.
00:13:56Now go out there and prove it.
00:13:59Opie Kingston and Xavier Woods
00:14:00off to a good start,
00:14:01straight into the cover right away.
00:14:03I mean, you have to get straight on top of A, Opie.
00:14:06If you give them an inch,
00:14:07you haven't got a chance.
00:14:08You've gotta hit them hard.
00:14:09You've gotta hit them fast
00:14:10and hope somehow you can keep them down.
00:14:13Easier said than done.
00:14:16Acom, one half of the offers.
00:14:20This is just a fast start.
00:14:22Right away with a big elbow
00:14:23comes Xavier Woods, hooks the leg.
00:14:26This has been absolute peak new day
00:14:28from the off in this matchup.
00:14:30But poor Acom hasn't been able
00:14:32to get a modicum of offense in thus far.
00:14:35New day for all the tension and issues
00:14:37they've had in recent weeks and months.
00:14:39Looking back to their best right now.
00:14:41Of course, Xavier Woods recently
00:14:44challenged for the Intercontinental Championship,
00:14:46something that Kofi himself pushed for.
00:14:49Kofi was up against Braun Breaker most recently
00:14:52as he comes down hard on that left arm of Acom.
00:14:56Acom simply has not looked himself
00:14:58in the early goings of this one.
00:14:59Desperately needs that tag to result on the outside.
00:15:02But smartly, the veteran Kofi Kingston not allowing it.
00:15:07Driving him back into that corner.
00:15:10A big chop from Kofi.
00:15:14Two teams here are both multiple time tag team champions
00:15:18here in WWE.
00:15:19Of course, the New Day, perhaps the greatest of all time.
00:15:23Arguably, of course, the Usos would claim that moniker.
00:15:28Axe handle from Woods.
00:15:30Really working that left arm significantly early on,
00:15:33aren't they Wade?
00:15:34That's been superb.
00:15:35Absolute textbook offense from New Day.
00:15:37But that is the threat that Acom carries.
00:15:42Despite the offense he's absorbed, still swinging.
00:15:46Showing power and getting out of position
00:15:49is Karrion Kross.
00:15:54He's been in the ear of both these men in recent months.
00:15:59You can see the pain Woods was able to endure.
00:16:05Wait a second.
00:16:06The Miz has come out sitting on the edge of the announce table.
00:16:10Karrion Kross likes what he's seeing.
00:16:12Who will take the next place in this tournament, in this matchup?
00:16:20Back here in Philly, World Tag Team Championship
00:16:22number one contender's journey.
00:16:23New Day versus Authors of Pain.
00:16:25But what you see, this human wall in front of you here
00:16:27at our announce table, this is the intrigue
00:16:29as The Miz has come out.
00:16:31He's flanked by Scarlett Karrion Kross.
00:16:33Kross came over, Wade said, nice to see you.
00:16:35Now remember, Kross was in his ear recently
00:16:38when the final testament served up our truth to him
00:16:41and he hit him with a skull crushing finale.
00:16:43What is going on in front of us here?
00:16:45It's been no secret whatsoever that Karrion Kross
00:16:47has clearly been trying to woo The Miz now
00:16:49for a couple of months.
00:16:50It seems like he has pierced the mind of Miz in recent weeks.
00:16:54So perhaps Miz-
00:16:57Xavier Woods desperate to get the tag on Kofi Kingston
00:17:00but Lazar pulls him back.
00:17:02And now Woods does find Kofi.
00:17:04Last thing Lazar needed was a fresh Kofi Kingston.
00:17:07Bouncing around that ring.
00:17:10Big drop kick.
00:17:14Opportunity to find their way into the finals
00:17:17and earn a shot at Judgment Day.
00:17:19Suddenly the glad handing of Karrion Kross
00:17:22and Scarlett with The Miz has turned into panic.
00:17:27And one for Akam.
00:17:29Number one position for the tag titles
00:17:32on the line here as Woods goes flying.
00:17:38You see the sheer power of Lazar.
00:17:41And the kick.
00:17:42Great athleticism by Kofi.
00:17:44No much more terrifying than facing AOP.
00:17:47But The New Day have fought the biggest and best
00:17:51over the past ten years of beating them all.
00:17:54Boom drop Kofi Kingston.
00:18:02I sense that momentum.
00:18:04The New Day trying to work their way back into position.
00:18:08To fight for the Tag Team World Championships.
00:18:13Oh he was looking for trouble on Paradise instead
00:18:16into the grasp of Lazar.
00:18:18Raw power from the massive Albanian.
00:18:22Simply no way to counter that for Kofi Kingston.
00:18:26As The Miz looks up.
00:18:27Oh there's R-Truth!
00:18:29R-Truth came out to attack his former partner.
00:18:35Well it was R-Truth who was cheap shotted by The Miz
00:18:38last week post match.
00:18:40Now coming for a little payback.
00:18:42Oh there's a roll up in the ring!
00:18:44A roll up for The New Day!
00:18:46And they advance!
00:18:49With R-Truth outside the ring.
00:18:51Here are your winners, The New Day!
00:18:54Kofi Kingston takes advantage inside the ring.
00:18:57And that is how they'll advance in this tournament.
00:19:00Give a valuable assist there to R-Truth
00:19:03R-Truth taking out Miz on the outside.
00:19:05That chaos, that bedlam caught the eye of Lazar in ring.
00:19:09It was brought napping by the ever so smart Kofi Kingston.
00:19:13They progress, they join the War Raiders
00:19:16in next week's Triple Threat match.
00:19:18As well as one other team that will be decided later on tonight.
00:19:22R-Truth, after weeks of-
00:19:24Oh he's not in a good spot now.
00:19:28And now Miz is on top of him.
00:19:30Arthur's a painter on top of him because they cost him.
00:19:33Kofi Kingston wants to come back and help.
00:19:35Xavier Woods is saying,
00:19:37Hell no, that's not our problem.
00:19:39He's holding him back as you can see Kofi saying,
00:19:42We have to help R-Truth.
00:19:43Why does Xavier Woods have to put his body on the line?
00:19:46R-Truth is in a very tough spot.
00:19:48Surrounded by the Final Testament.
00:19:50As Karrion Kross just laughs looking back at The New Day.
00:19:54Is R-Truth's problem?
00:19:56Oh ho ho ho!
00:19:57No.
00:19:58No.
00:20:15The Lion's Six are back!
00:20:17Oh my god, it's that mentalist Nikki Cross!
00:20:20And she's off the top rope on Scarlett!
00:20:23And now they're brawling everywhere!
00:20:25Dexter Loomis!
00:20:26Rowan!
00:20:27Joe Gacy attacking the Final Testament!
00:20:32Laying out everybody!
00:20:33Saving the day for R-Truth!
00:20:38Miz!
00:20:40Getting out of everybody's way!
00:20:44Bodies are laid out everywhere Wade!
00:20:51Gacy and Loomis and Rowan
00:20:53sending the authors of pain over the barrier into Timekeeper.
00:20:59What the hell are these guys playing at?
00:21:01Here's their combo!
00:21:02Powerbomb that takes both men out!
00:21:05Akam and Rezar taking out Timekeeper!
00:21:08Nobody has ever treated the Final Testament like this!
00:21:12And the brawl continues!
00:21:13It is going on through Wells Fargo Center here in Philly.
00:21:17Out of nowhere, The Riot Six arrived and The Miz
00:21:22He looks petrified!
00:21:23Saved himself!
00:21:24The Miz saved himself!
00:21:27No, he didn't get away!
00:21:29Uncle Howdy pulled Ellering!
00:21:32Looking to save The Miz!
00:21:34And a mandible claw on Ellering!
00:21:37Stop!
00:21:50The Riot Six doing as they please.
00:21:53Uncle Howdy taking out Paul Ellering with the mandible claw.
00:21:58No way!
00:22:00For you!
00:22:06Welcome back to Monday Night Raw.
00:22:08I'm backstage with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.
00:22:10Adam, yet another chaotic start on a Monday night.
00:22:14How do you plan to get things under control here?
00:22:17That's a great question.
00:22:19Never mind.
00:22:30Bronson Reed just refuses to stay down and these two
00:22:35You're going to need a chaser to separate them in this one.
00:22:39Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins brawling backstage
00:22:44after they were brawling in and out of the ring.
00:22:46Raw in Philly.
00:22:47WrestleMania 40, of course, was across the street from where we are.
00:22:50Where Cody took the Undisputed Championship.
00:22:52Busy sports week here.
00:22:53Flyers, NHL action.
00:22:55We'll be against the Capitals tomorrow.
00:22:5776ers against the Bucks on Wednesday.
00:22:59And, of course, this Monday Night Raw that just saw The Riot Six
00:23:04back in action.
00:23:05What a chaotic night it has been already.
00:23:08Just as The Final Testament were looking to wreck our troop.
00:23:12The Riot Six show up out of nowhere and the brawl ensued.
00:23:17Haymakers, bombs getting dropped left, right and center.
00:23:22The brawl went everywhere.
00:23:23It looked at one point like the majority of The Final Testament
00:23:28had been taken out, escorted rather abruptly out of the arena
00:23:33by The Riot Six, leaving one man, it seems, stood in the ring.
00:23:38The Miz, a petrified face.
00:23:40Thought he'd come away with it.
00:23:41Oh, no.
00:23:42Here comes Uncle Howdy.
00:23:44Mandible claw just when Paul Ellering arrived to shove Miz out the way.
00:23:49Poor, precious Paul Ellering taken out by Uncle Howdy later
00:23:55to be carried out of this arena.
00:23:58And I'll tell you this, Joe.
00:23:59It has been bedlam, mayhem, and chaos from the off here on Raw tonight.
00:24:04We keep learning more and more about The Riot Six.
00:24:06The one thing, though, we know is when they lock it in a target,
00:24:09they seemingly take care of business.
00:24:11And right now, they're locked in on The Final Testament.
00:24:13Tonight, Jey Uso defends his Intercontinental Championship
00:24:16against Braun Breaker.
00:24:17But based on this past Friday, there's some serious family issues
00:24:20that are also getting his attention.
00:24:23Real fallings out in this group.
00:24:25These beatdowns will continue to happen to Roman Reigns
00:24:28unless he comes down to the ring and acknowledges me.
00:24:32Uso!
00:24:34♪♪♪♪
00:24:40Jimmy and Roman not here yet,
00:24:42so I came out here to talk to you, Uso the Uso.
00:24:45I left the family, Uso.
00:24:47I left to be my own man.
00:24:49Man, I became the Intercontinental Champion, little brother.
00:24:52I'm your tribal chief now.
00:24:56And I'll always have a place for you and Roman in my bloodline.
00:25:01But all you have to do is acknowledge me.
00:25:04Why'd you have to go get them, Uso?
00:25:06Tama, Tonga, why'd you have to go get Jacob?
00:25:10There's a reason why we stayed away from him.
00:25:12And if you keep staring at me like that, I'm gonna knock your ass out!
00:25:15-♪♪♪♪♪
00:25:18Next time I see you, Uso, it's gonna be different.
00:25:21Yeet.
00:25:24-♪♪♪♪♪
00:25:28-♪♪♪♪♪
00:25:32I'm proud of you.
00:25:35We all are.
00:25:41And no yeet.
00:25:45-♪♪♪♪♪
00:25:49-♪♪♪♪♪
00:25:52We're here with Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso.
00:25:56And, Jey, family tensions have just escalated over the last several weeks.
00:26:00So I was hoping that ahead of your match,
00:26:02you could address what went down on Friday night.
00:26:04Yeah, Cathy, ironically, I'm in a city of brotherly love
00:26:07and got no love for my brothers right now.
00:26:09Ain't that so?
00:26:10But I said what I said to the bloodline on Friday.
00:26:14It is what it is, right?
00:26:16But tonight, it's about this right here on my shoulder, Cathy.
00:26:19You know what I'm saying?
00:26:20Jey Uso, Braun Breaker, round two.
00:26:23I promise, though, by the end of the night,
00:26:25the people will hear.
00:26:26And still, your Intercontinental Champion main event,
00:26:31Jey Uso!
00:26:38Yes!
00:26:45Rhea Ripley says her business won't end with the Judgment Day
00:26:49until she gets her Women's World Championship back.
00:26:53Mamita, as long as I'm around, eso nunca va a pasar.
00:26:58That's never going to happen.
00:27:01Costing you the title at Bad Blood was just a warning, chiquita.
00:27:07Don't think I've forgotten what you did to Liv
00:27:10when you tore her shoulder apart and took her out for six months.
00:27:15And I also haven't forgotten what you did to Liv and myself
00:27:19when you cost us the Women's Tag Team titles.
00:27:25Rhea, chiquita, the only reason you rose to the top
00:27:28is because I was gone.
00:27:31But I'm back now.
00:27:33And the smartest thing for you to do is walk away.
00:27:37But we all know you're not going to do that.
00:27:40So since you won't end this, I will.
00:27:50Look at that. There it is.
00:27:52Literally getting the white glove treatment
00:27:54as the brand new Crown Jewel Championship belt
00:27:57has been brought to the ring.
00:27:59Liv Morgan herself will be in action.
00:28:01She's over a week away from battling for that
00:28:04against Nia Jax.
00:28:12The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:28:16Introducing first, the team of Kairi Sane
00:28:20and Io Skyes.
00:28:22Damage Control.
00:28:25Damage Control weight's been on top of their game lately.
00:28:27Io and Kairi came up short a week ago.
00:28:29That highly contested match for the tag titles
00:28:31against Jade Bianca.
00:28:32Incredibly unhappy about that loss last week
00:28:35and the loss of opportunity for the gold.
00:28:38Now is a night to get back to winning ways.
00:28:41Easier said than done, however,
00:28:43against the champ Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
00:28:47Well, Damage Control up against it tonight.
00:28:51Can they get back on top?
00:28:53We'll find out next here on Raw.
00:29:00Back here in Philly.
00:29:02Kairi Sane, Io Skyes.
00:29:04Sane a two-time tag champion,
00:29:06although his Damage Control pairing with Io Skyes
00:29:08has never won the titles together.
00:29:10Oh, look who's here waiting.
00:29:12The troublemakers from last week,
00:29:14Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend from NXT.
00:29:17They've been crossing over on every single brand.
00:29:20Now they cost Damage Control their championship opportunity.
00:29:24Last week, they will be competing against Damage Control.
00:29:28Tomorrow night on NXT.
00:29:30Hopefully here just for some last-minute scouting
00:29:33and nothing else.
00:29:34Hey, give credit to Lash.
00:29:36Oh, wow.
00:29:38That was impressive.
00:29:40Incredibly impressive stuff from the powerhouse Lash Legend.
00:29:44Speaking of powerhouses,
00:29:46Liv Morgan has seen plenty of it.
00:29:48And their opponents being accompanied by Dirty Dom Mysterio,
00:29:52the team of Raquel Rodriguez
00:29:56and the Women's World Champion,
00:29:59Liv Morgan.
00:30:03Powerful Raquel Rodriguez and her stunning recent return
00:30:06now by the side of Liv Morgan.
00:30:08The announcement was accompanied by Dirty Dom Mysterio.
00:30:12I am saddened to say that I can't quite see him at this point.
00:30:19And of course, on November 2nd,
00:30:21it'll be Liv Morgan and Nia Jax
00:30:24for the title of Crown Jewel Champion.
00:30:29And the new belt with over 3,300 stones embedded in it.
00:30:36In terms of pure monetary value,
00:30:38those Crown Jewel Championships are the highest
00:30:42in this industry's history,
00:30:44let alone add to that, of course,
00:30:46the bragging rights for being the first ever
00:30:49Men's and Women's Crown Jewel Champion.
00:30:52The absolute top of the industry.
00:30:55So while this tag match is a massive showdown
00:30:58among elites, for Liv,
00:31:00she has her eyes on that prize
00:31:03that is sitting ringside.
00:31:05November 2nd in Riyadh,
00:31:07the incredible Crown Jewel Diamond Ever Jewel Stunning Belt.
00:31:10Liv Morgan has her eyes on a lot of prizes right now,
00:31:13even trying to focus on the Women's Tag Championships
00:31:16and putting away damage control tonight,
00:31:18making them one step closer
00:31:20to a tag title opportunity
00:31:22against Belair and Cargill.
00:31:25As Io Sky stops in her tracks
00:31:28as the statuesque Raquel steps up to combat.
00:31:32Raquel Rodriguez,
00:31:34Io Sky tries to take the fight right to her.
00:31:40The high-flying technical skills of Io Sky
00:31:43may not work against someone so big and powerful as Raquel.
00:31:49Of course, Raquel shocked the world in Atlanta.
00:31:54When she came out,
00:31:56as Rio was trying to get the Women's Championship belt back,
00:31:59but Raquel interrupted those plans.
00:32:02Raquel and Io Sky have a hell of a lot of history together.
00:32:05Raquel actually beat Io Sky for the NXT Women's Championship
00:32:09once upon a time,
00:32:10one of the greatest reigns in history
00:32:12from Io Sky,
00:32:13ended by the powerful Raquel.
00:32:16Zayn and Sky doubling up with the drop kicks.
00:32:24Kairi, look at this,
00:32:25awkward the way she was hanging over there with her leg.
00:32:27Somehow got away with it, did Kairi Sane
00:32:30speak volumes to her athleticism,
00:32:32turned around Raquel.
00:32:34From the top rope, Raquel able to get out of the way.
00:32:39Now trying to chase down Kairi Sane.
00:32:42Unique offense there from Kairi Sane,
00:32:45rapidly getting over to tag in Io Sky.
00:32:48Now it's double trouble.
00:32:49This is when they are at their best.
00:32:52I mean, this is what you have to do
00:32:54against someone as strong as Raquel.
00:32:56Keep her guessing,
00:32:57try and double team her,
00:32:59but even that might not be enough.
00:33:01Look at the power of Rodriguez.
00:33:06They're able to slip out of it.
00:33:09Sometimes when you're so big and so strong,
00:33:11you can get overconfident,
00:33:13and that is what happened to Raquel there.
00:33:16Big forearm from Kairi,
00:33:18and now the cover,
00:33:19and quickly Raquel able to kick out.
00:33:22How smart is Liv Morgan teaming up once again
00:33:25with Raquel Rodriguez?
00:33:28A lot of problems surrounding Liv Morgan at the moment.
00:33:31It seems every woman on the roster wants a piece of Liv,
00:33:34while you need protection in a situation like that.
00:33:37Oh, what a big right hand in the clothesline
00:33:39comes powering in.
00:33:41Baseball back style to the jaws of Io Skye
00:33:44and Kairi Sane who have barely moved ever since.
00:33:48Liv Morgan incredibly happy.
00:33:50November 2nd, that's what she's gunning for.
00:33:59A week ago we saw Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
00:34:02in against the odd coupling of Rhea Ripley
00:34:04and Tiffany Stratton,
00:34:06and now tonight in action against Sane and Skye.
00:34:09Damage control.
00:34:11Raquel Rodriguez is in control.
00:34:14Doing the best that Kairi Sane right now.
00:34:16Torturous hold there on Kairi Sane.
00:34:19Raquel has looked as dominant and ruthless as ever
00:34:23since returning here.
00:34:25And since Jakara and Last Legend
00:34:27not looking too impressed right now
00:34:29with damage control ahead of their match
00:34:31with damage control tomorrow night on NXT.
00:34:35An interesting matchup.
00:34:36We'll see what is taken out of damage control
00:34:38here tonight.
00:34:39There's the veterans looking to come up with a big win
00:34:42against the former women's tag champions.
00:34:46Spinning back elbow there from Kairi Sane
00:34:48rocking Raquel and managing to get her tag
00:34:51to Io Skye.
00:34:53Io Skye, big surge of offense.
00:35:00Skye of course rapidly looking to get herself
00:35:03and Kairi Sane another opportunity
00:35:06at Belair and Cargill's tag goal.
00:35:08And a victory here would certainly do them some good.
00:35:13Able to catch that boot from Raquel.
00:35:16And work that leg.
00:35:17With a nasty dragon screw to the right knee of Raquel.
00:35:21That is one way to keep the powerhouse down.
00:35:24Things looking good now for damage control.
00:35:30Missile drop kick lands on Liv.
00:35:34And Liv desperate to get herself to safety.
00:35:40This place coming unglued.
00:35:42Lady Aura from Skye.
00:35:44Genius of the Skye.
00:35:47Hooks the leg of Liv Morgan.
00:35:50And the kick out at two, Wade.
00:35:51Just championship caliber performances
00:35:54every single night from Io Skye.
00:35:59Why she has one of the most stellar reputations
00:36:01in the entire industry.
00:36:06And they can sense the momentum.
00:36:09They feel they could take this thing in
00:36:12for a nice landing and control the action.
00:36:18And the elbow.
00:36:19Pop up elbow from Kairi Sane.
00:36:25And Rodriguez comes in to save things.
00:36:28Just in the nick of time.
00:36:29A gingerly moving Raquel there.
00:36:32After this attempt at an insane elbow.
00:36:36Didn't quite land as planned.
00:36:38But it was highly effective all the same.
00:36:40But now Raquel with a second win.
00:36:44Oh, the shoulder into the post.
00:36:47Desperate move there from Kairi Sane.
00:36:49Diving out of the way at the last second.
00:36:51Saving herself in the process.
00:36:54And now perhaps it's all down to Liv Morgan
00:36:56to win this for her team.
00:36:57Big turnaround.
00:36:58The running knee.
00:37:00Liv Morgan.
00:37:03Takes advantage.
00:37:07Sauté uppercut from an elevated Liv Morgan
00:37:10who was rocked.
00:37:14Smart champion instincts there from Liv Morgan.
00:37:17Oh!
00:37:18Missile dropkick sends her into the barrier.
00:37:21Straight to the kick.
00:37:22So when somebody needs to check.
00:37:24Look at this.
00:37:26Can't help herself.
00:37:27And Lash Legend sends a big right hand.
00:37:30And the bell rings.
00:37:32As the interference comes from Jakara Lash Legend.
00:37:35Only a matter of time.
00:37:37You guessed that Lash and Jakara
00:37:39would somehow get involved with a cheap shot.
00:37:42It happened.
00:37:43And now Kairi Sane coming to the aid of Io Sky.
00:37:46Now you're getting a preview of what you'll see on NXT at the CW.
00:37:50All of a sudden they couldn't resist.
00:37:52Sane and Sky on the attack of Lash Legend and Jakara.
00:37:56They're going to go at it tomorrow on NXT.
00:37:58But with that brawl on the outside
00:38:00it disrupts the action against Liv and Raquel.
00:38:02Well it would behoove both teams to soften up.
00:38:05Their opponents are ahead of tomorrow.
00:38:07But if anyone's getting softened up here
00:38:09it's clearly damage control.
00:38:15Sugar rush from Jakara Jackson.
00:38:17And a lash extension on the other side, Wade.
00:38:21Just like she did against Piper Niven on Friday night.
00:38:24Jakara and Lash Legend enter the fray and clean things up.
00:38:30But it puts an end to what was a compelling match.
00:38:35And now Liv and Raquel face to face.
00:38:41Look at Liv's face.
00:38:45The all too familiar music.
00:38:48Of Rhea Ripley.
00:38:49There are a lot of bullseyes on the back of Liv Morgan.
00:38:56But this woman, Rhea Ripley, is the biggest of them all.
00:39:02Raquel says, I've got you.
00:39:04Don't you worry.
00:39:06This is exactly why Liv Morgan brought in Raquel Rodriguez.
00:39:11For protection from Rhea Ripley.
00:39:15Rhea Ripley smashes that head straight in.
00:39:17Just eats that headbutt from Rhea Ripley and stays standing.
00:39:21What an absolute freak Raquel Rodriguez.
00:39:25Rhea pulls down that top rope.
00:39:27And now she smiles saying, you're left with me.
00:39:30Liv goes running.
00:39:32She's got her by the hair.
00:39:34Oh no.
00:39:37Just rag-dolling Liv Morgan.
00:39:40Big knee.
00:39:41What a knee from Rhea.
00:39:43This is a defenseless Liv Morgan.
00:39:47Who is about to get tortured in the ring.
00:39:49Oh my God.
00:39:51Prison trap.
00:39:56Liv Morgan in sheer agony.
00:39:59Raquel doing her best to even the odds.
00:40:01But it may be impossible against a woman like Rhea Bloody Ripley.
00:40:06You know how upset Rhea is with what happened at Bad Blood.
00:40:09Her chance to get her championship back.
00:40:13And it was interrupted by Raquel.
00:40:18Liv trying to get that arm.
00:40:20And another big blast with the headbutt from Rhea.
00:40:25Everything you throw at Rhea Ripley just bounces off of the piece de resistance.
00:40:32Riptide.
00:40:33No.
00:40:34Dirty Dom from out of nowhere.
00:40:36Latino Cheech is here to save the day.
00:40:40And she's got her former guy in the ring.
00:40:45Is she lining up a prison trap on Dom?
00:40:48And locking it in.
00:40:51Dom is caught up in the prison trap.
00:40:54Dom put his body on the line to save the damsel in distress.
00:41:00That is Liv Morgan.
00:41:01That is Liv Morgan and she returns the favor.
00:41:04That is true love.
00:41:07It took all three of them to deal with an enraged Rhea Ripley.
00:41:14Rhea Ripley still stands tall and is still laughing.
00:41:19Yes.
00:41:20You know this doesn't end until you make it.
00:41:25This is the third time this has happened tonight.
00:41:32Seth Rollins, Big Bronson Reed separated again by security.
00:41:37Enough.
00:41:38Enough.
00:41:39Enough.
00:41:40Enough.
00:41:41Enough.
00:41:42Enough.
00:41:43Enough.
00:41:44Enough.
00:41:45Enough.
00:41:46Enough.
00:41:47Enough.
00:41:48Enough.
00:41:49Did either one of you suffrage bastards stop the thing for one second
00:41:53that I was going to give you what you want?
00:41:55No, of course not.
00:41:57But you are.
00:41:58And Crown Jewel, Bronson Reed, Seth Rollins.
00:42:01It is official.
00:42:03Get them out of my damn building.
00:42:06This is the worst mistake you ever made, Seth.
00:42:09This is the worst mistake.
00:42:11Crown Jewel.
00:42:12We're going to get Rollins and Big Bronson Reed.
00:42:15How about that?
00:42:18So while Pierce has his hands full constantly with Rollins and Reed,
00:42:22he's also trying to establish challengers for the Judgment Day.
00:42:27The LWO wants to be just that.
00:42:30Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee teaming up in this number one contenders tournament.
00:42:35The following is a first round match in the World Tag Team Championship
00:42:42number one contenders tournament.
00:42:46Introducing first, being accompanied by Joaquin Wilde,
00:42:51Cruz Santoro, and Zalina Vega.
00:42:55The team of Dragon Lee and WWE Hall of Famer,
00:43:02Rey Mysterio.
00:43:05The LWO.
00:43:11Mysterio and Lee trying to work their way into contention
00:43:15with the support of Zalina Vega.
00:43:17They'll take on the incredibly gifted American maid
00:43:21when we return to Monday Night Raw.
00:43:31The LWO.
00:43:39As we've walked this path,
00:43:41there's been setbacks that would have ended lesser men.
00:43:47But we rise time and again.
00:43:52But we've shed our armor
00:43:55and headed to our future without fear.
00:44:02We look to our ancestors,
00:44:04the Viking warriors of the past, for inspiration.
00:44:09They crossed oceans conquering everything in their path.
00:44:14We too have traveled the world,
00:44:17raiding gold far and wide.
00:44:20Your time to run and hide
00:44:26has ended.
00:44:29Good to have the War Raiders back as we are back in Philly.
00:44:32Of course, we were here on April 5th in this arena
00:44:35for the Hall of Fame ceremony
00:44:36where Paul Heyman was inducted
00:44:38and put on that ECW hat and leather jacket
00:44:40and said,
00:44:41if you think that spirit of ECW
00:44:42died in bankruptcy court in 2001,
00:44:45you can all cough deep.
00:44:46Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.
00:44:49Heyman put on a show that night
00:44:50getting into the Hall of Fame.
00:44:52Hey, women reign supreme
00:44:53in WWE's most viewed Instagram reels of all time
00:44:56with 80 million views for Raquel Rodriguez.
00:44:59Shocking our viewers when she picked up Naya Jax in 2023.
00:45:04But that was beaten out by Rhea Ripley's powerbomb
00:45:07of Zelina Vega backlash in 2023
00:45:10with over 82 million.
00:45:12Rhea Ripley popping her shoulder back in place
00:45:14at SummerSlam 1990.
00:45:17New clothes, what do you think?
00:45:19You want to know what we think?
00:45:20What I think is what I need to do
00:45:21is I need to find Rhea Ripley
00:45:23and when I do, I'm going to rip her.
00:45:25We're going to focus on Rhea
00:45:26from the time he's been rifled.
00:45:27Right now, I need to focus on Naya Jax and crown jewel
00:45:30and finish, I need to focus on the tag titles.
00:45:32Right, then?
00:45:33Liv, everybody knows
00:45:36Naya Jax is this season's
00:45:38number one drag champion.
00:45:39She's been a long time
00:45:40and we're going to focus on her.
00:45:42And I think that
00:45:44Rhea Ripley is the number one
00:45:46Everybody knows that me and JD can handle any tag team on earth.
00:45:50What I'm worried about is Damian Priest making another claim at
00:45:54the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:45:57Yeah, but I thought- What if I'm the one who beats Gunter for
00:45:59the world title?
00:46:00Hey, my dear.
00:46:02Hey, cool it off.
00:46:04It's not like they coached a world champion, that's not cool.
00:46:06No, okay. You could totally beat him, Damian.
00:46:07Yeah, I'm serious.
00:46:08I, well, JD was my brother, I wasn't laughing.
00:46:11I heard you laughing.
00:46:13I'm sorry, what do you even do around here?
00:46:16Let's just say, I bring the cool factor to the judgment day.
00:46:22I'm also a fixer.
00:46:26As a matter of fact, I'll fix it right now.
00:46:28Dom will be no champion, a real world champion in no time.
00:46:32I'm gonna talk to Pierce.
00:46:34You're gonna talk to Pierce?
00:46:35No, why not?
00:46:38Well, Carlito's got a job to do, I guess.
00:46:42Generation gap of Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, but
00:46:46they are always in the ring, in sync with their signature LWO style.
00:46:50Hell, look at this, it is great to have NXT champ Trick Williams here in Philly.
00:46:56A few years ago, he was here in Philly wearing an NFL jersey as part of
00:47:00the Eagles, trying to land on that roster full-time.
00:47:02Chose the right career path, I think, Ray.
00:47:05Well, start hitting your bucket seat, I ain't no tie-breaker.
00:47:09My boy, Trick Willie.
00:47:12And their opponent being accompanied by Chad Gable and
00:47:18Ivy Nile, the team of Julius and
00:47:22Brutus Creed, American Made.
00:47:26Wait, what was it about months ago that Chad Gable
00:47:33declared that American Made does not
00:47:38shy away from history they created?
00:47:44Opponents would be well advised to shy away from American Made,
00:47:49because these two boys, all Americans Olympic caliber credentials.
00:47:56They are here for gold, and that pathway starts tonight with victory
00:48:01over the LWO's Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee to get themselves one
00:48:06step closer to an opportunity at the Judgment Day's tag goal.
00:48:11Blank by Ivy Nile, Chad Gable, Brutus, and
00:48:14Julius Creed to take a big step ahead tonight.
00:48:19Deliver on Gable's high expectations for
00:48:22them in this World Tag Team Championship number one contender's tournament.
00:48:28A couple of rough diamonds in the Creed brothers getting shined up by the day by
00:48:33Master Chad Gable.
00:48:34Such a difference in style between these four competitors in the ring right now.
00:48:43Power and technique from American Made and
00:48:46the high flying speedsters that are the Luchadors.
00:48:49Dragon Lee in the ring right now, and of course,
00:48:52the great Hall of Famer himself, Rey Mysterio.
00:48:55So if you're Lee and Mysterio, how do you approach it strategically,
00:48:58knowing such a distinct style clash?
00:49:01Well, the aim has to be from the off, try and
00:49:04keep away from American Made, hit and move.
00:49:07And if you can't do that, try and wriggle free, and
00:49:10counter whatever you can with your speed and aerial ability.
00:49:14And you've seen exactly what you set up there, Wade, with the aerial ability
00:49:19compared to the power of Creed.
00:49:21And here's the roll-up by Dragon Lee, and the kick-out.
00:49:26It's been a real learning experience since American Made.
00:49:29All the Creed brothers made it here to Raw and SmackDown.
00:49:32They were utterly devastated.
00:49:34During their time in NXT, haven't quite hit those highs yet here.
00:49:38Of course, they absolutely will in time.
00:49:41And that time's gonna be speeded up by the fact that they have help and
00:49:44guidance from Chad Gable.
00:49:46Rey into the cover.
00:49:47This is the pace now that they would prefer, Lee and Mysterio.
00:49:50Well, this is exactly what Rey, Mysterio, and Dragon Lee need to do.
00:49:54Keep this one moving as fast as possible.
00:49:57Try and confuse the less experienced Creed brothers.
00:50:01But with power like this from Julius Creed, how the hell can you combat that?
00:50:07Do people understand what it takes to do what he just did right there?
00:50:12From off the mat to vertical.
00:50:15Raw strength alone with a barbell, people can't do that.
00:50:18Let alone with a wriggling Rey Mysterio.
00:50:23It's both these teams looking to join the War Raiders.
00:50:26And now the New Day in next week's triple threat final to crown number one
00:50:30contenders, and things suddenly turning the way of American Made.
00:50:35Brutus Creed feeling like they have taken control of things here.
00:50:40The New Day were able to get past Authors of Pain earlier tonight in this number
00:50:44one contenders tournament.
00:50:46Brutus smashed in the ring on a defenseless Rey Mysterio.
00:50:51Just some of the antics there from Brutus Creed that does frustrate
00:50:55the older brother Julius who seems far more focused.
00:50:58Brutus at times can act something of the goofball in there.
00:51:02But man, physically speaking, utterly devastating.
00:51:05Look at this smart work from the Hall of Famer.
00:51:08You do have to work smart against individuals like the Creed brothers, so
00:51:13big, so strong.
00:51:14An opportunity to fly for Dragon Lee, yes.
00:51:18Look at that.
00:51:19Rey gave him just a little bit of space and Dragon went flying.
00:51:24Check it out folks, great stuff in Philly.
00:51:28It's been an interesting run for Julius Creed.
00:51:33It's been an interesting run for Julius and Brutus Creed.
00:51:39They're up against Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio here in the World Tag Team
00:51:43Championship number one contenders tournament.
00:51:45The winner here will lock up that final spot.
00:51:47We saw the New Day advance a week ago.
00:51:49We saw the War Raiders advance.
00:51:52This is to see who will go up against the Judgment Day.
00:51:57Things have suddenly turned the way of American Made after being under the cusp.
00:52:02Large parts of the early goings in this one.
00:52:05Now it is Dragon Lee who is looking in immense trouble as many often are
00:52:11against that freakish power of Julius Creed.
00:52:14Hooks the leg after the superplex in the kick out at two.
00:52:17How often do you see that?
00:52:19Just a deadlift superplex here from Julius Creed,
00:52:23who is just jaw dropping every time you see it.
00:52:27Two-time NCAA All-American, the record setter at Duke.
00:52:30Chad Gable, the master loving everything he's seeing from his men thus far.
00:52:40Riding out an early storm and
00:52:42now starting to snuff out the threat of the two luchadors.
00:52:45You see the growling support from Zelina Vega.
00:52:50And another glimpse of the power of Julius Creed in front of us here.
00:52:54Wait, look at this.
00:52:55Power is one thing, it's the raw technique too.
00:52:58But wow, what a reversal.
00:53:00Hurricane Rana there from Dragon Lee.
00:53:03Who can attack you from every angle, you cannot count him out.
00:53:07Question being, can he get the tag to the Hall of Famer,
00:53:11Rey Mysterio, raring to get back into this one.
00:53:14Well, Brutus Creed is tagged in and here comes Rey Mysterio.
00:53:19And Rey taking advantage against Brutus.
00:53:22Is that indefatigable human spirit of Rey Mysterio,
00:53:27completely improbable career, broken all records.
00:53:32Can he continue to progress towards tag goal with a new partner?
00:53:37Rey going up top.
00:53:40West Coast pop.
00:53:42And then a big forearm for Julius.
00:53:48Tornado DDT into the cover, hooks the leg for the win to advance.
00:53:53And the kick out at two.
00:53:53Continuing to baffle and confound the relative newcomers, the Creed brothers.
00:54:00Now, Brutus Creed in the ring right now in a world of trouble.
00:54:04Brother Julius nowhere to be seen.
00:54:06Rey is on fire.
00:54:08Have things in control.
00:54:12Crowd know what they want.
00:54:13Brutus just catching him out of midair.
00:54:23Raw power of Brutus Creed, the thickness of the man, utterly devastating it.
00:54:30Wow.
00:54:31Moonsault from the big guy.
00:54:32Yeah, man, that big should never be able to pull that off.
00:54:36And his brother as well, hooks the leg for the win.
00:54:40And in comes Dragon Lee.
00:54:432.99, Dragon Lee had to be on the money on that one.
00:54:47Thankfully, for him and Rey Mysterio, he was.
00:54:50Look at this.
00:54:57He's got him in that stomp position and he delivers it.
00:55:00And that could be the end of Julius Creed.
00:55:04And that Brutus Creed to that list.
00:55:09And Rey's got him lined up, Wade.
00:55:11Rey smells victory and so does this audience.
00:55:14And so does Chad Gable.
00:55:17Wise move there from Master Chad Gable.
00:55:20The end was nigh, and that has opened a window now for Julius Creed.
00:55:25And Zelina says, I got an issue with it.
00:55:30Chad Gable to the face of Chad Gable.
00:55:33Zelina Vega and
00:55:38Ivy Nile outside on the floor.
00:55:46This match continuing despite the shenanigans on the outside.
00:55:53And it is now Julius who's looking good, or is it?
00:55:58He had him in position before 619.
00:56:01This time, able to deliver.
00:56:03There's the tag, Dragon Lee legal.
00:56:08A splash from up top to advance.
00:56:11Yes, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee.
00:56:14Here are your winners, LWO.
00:56:21So what a show we're gonna have, Wade Barrett.
00:56:24The number one contender's tournament finals was decided this way.
00:56:30Well, what a tag team tandem.
00:56:32This has turned out to be the 619 from the Hall of Famer.
00:56:36Followed by this sky high splash from Dragon Lee.
00:56:42They progress one step closer to earning a championship opportunity
00:56:47against Judgment Day.
00:56:48And as you mentioned, Joe, that triple threat final takes place next week.
00:56:53Rey and Dragon Lee versus the New Day versus the War Raiders.
00:57:00Just sense how upset Chad Gable and American made are.
00:57:04But Lee and Mysterio stand atop.
00:57:07Guys, guys, listen, I saw it, I saw it, listen, I saw what they did.
00:57:14I saw it last year, Jakar did.
00:57:15I'm gonna talk to the other GMs.
00:57:16Trust me on this.
00:57:17We're gonna figure out a solution.
00:57:18We're gonna figure it out, okay?
00:57:19I give you my word.
00:57:22Let me get through tonight.
00:57:25I gotta learn Chinese.
00:57:30What do you want?
00:57:32Let me tell you something.
00:57:35I heard a little birdie told me that you're looking for a new challenger for
00:57:40Gunther, Gunter, whatever his name is.
00:57:43I got the perfect guy for you.
00:57:44Dominic Mysterio.
00:57:47What's so funny?
00:57:56Are you serious?
00:57:57Yeah, I'm serious.
00:57:58Dom?
00:57:58Yes, Dom.
00:57:59Look, I'm looking for a challenger for Gunther, that's true.
00:58:02But Dom hasn't exactly done, well, anything to deserve that.
00:58:05And furthermore, if Dom wanted that opportunity, why are you here asking for
00:58:08it?
00:58:09Because I'm a fixer.
00:58:11What exactly are you fixing?
00:58:14Come on, man.
00:58:15Please, come on, man.
00:58:16Give Dom a chance.
00:58:17Yes, give him a chance, please, please, please, come on.
00:58:19Carly, I'll give Dom a chance.
00:58:22I'll tell you what, you let Dom know.
00:58:24Next week, if he can beat, say, a former World Heavyweight Champion,
00:58:28I'll consider putting him in a number one contenders match.
00:58:30Thank you, man, I appreciate it, man.
00:58:32You're the fixer.
00:58:32Thank you, man.
00:58:33Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:58:34You did good, man.
00:58:35Did you get a new haircut?
00:58:35No, no, I didn't.
00:58:36I need a drink.
00:58:41I'm backstage with Braun Breaker.
00:58:42Braun, in a few minutes, you'll face Jey Uso with a chance to win back
00:58:47the Intercontinental Championship.
00:58:49Are you feeling any more confident going into this match,
00:58:52knowing that Jey Uso has been somewhat preoccupied with his family?
00:58:58I didn't come here for a cheesesteak.
00:59:02I came here to take back what's mine, and
00:59:05that's the Intercontinental Championship.
00:59:08I respect Jey Uso.
00:59:10I respect Jey as a champion.
00:59:12I think what he's doing is great, but Jey's not a focused champion.
00:59:17He's got all kinds of family drama going on,
00:59:19which is exactly why I'm gonna take back what belongs to me.
00:59:26Now, Jackie, I'm a badass.
00:59:30It's time to do what badasses do, so I just have one question for you.
00:59:37We got any dogs barking in Philly?
00:59:42Now, there may be some barking, but
00:59:44you know there's gonna be some yeeting as well, a lot of it.
00:59:48It is now time for Braun Breaker to back up what he has said.
00:59:52You know, this current world roster has many veterans who have been in this
00:59:56position before.
00:59:57You got Ray and Shane and Seth all regaining the Intercontinental
01:00:00Championship in their career for a second run.
01:00:02But it's this young, soaring Breaker who's going about it differently.
01:00:06The only way he knows, with unparalleled instinct,
01:00:10intensity, a mere 28 days since his stunning loss.
01:00:13And in that span, stalking Super Sphere after Super Sphere,
01:00:17to get back in the ring with Jey Uso.
01:00:20It's the rematch, will Braun Breaker regain his coveted IC title,
01:00:25or will Philly be yeeting and yeeting and yeeting deep into the night?
01:00:30It's the rematch,
01:00:31will Braun Breaker regain his coveted IC title, or
01:00:35will Philly be yeeting and yeeting and yeeting deep into the night?
01:00:40We determine it, the Intercontinental Championship.
01:00:45The rematch, Braun and Jey, next.
01:00:49Guys, I'm here with the World Heavyweight Champion and
01:00:53a man who has his sights set on becoming the next World Heavyweight Champion.
01:01:00Guys, I'm here with the World Heavyweight Champion and
01:01:03a man who has his sights set on becoming the first ever Crown Jewel Champion.
01:01:07Of course, I'm talking about the Ring General, Gunther.
01:01:10Gunther, do you have a response to Cody Rhodes' invitation to come to SmackDown
01:01:13this Friday?
01:01:15You know what I don't understand?
01:01:16And Cody does it every single time.
01:01:18He drags the people closest to him into his business matters.
01:01:21Mentioning his daughter as his reason why was totally unnecessary.
01:01:25That guy, I think, just loves the drama.
01:01:28Has nothing to do with his family, but he has everything to do with
01:01:32a generational champion versus champion match for
01:01:35the newly established Crown Jewel Championship.
01:01:39And it's also on the winner to establish the legacy for
01:01:42the new championship.
01:01:44And no disrespect, Cody is a fantastic champion.
01:01:47He's on top of his game right now.
01:01:49But if we're all honest, the title that he's holding,
01:01:52that legacy has been established long before his time.
01:01:56I think he's just one of many.
01:01:59Unlike me, I am one of one.
01:02:02Everything I touch turns into gold.
01:02:05So yes, I will be in Brooklyn on Friday.
01:02:14Relax your shoulders, take it easy.
01:02:16Ain't nobody walking in here to smack you up, at least not yet.
01:02:21I got no issue with you anymore, man.
01:02:23My issues were with the judgment thing.
01:02:25I handled that.
01:02:27So now, it's only fair I should get back what I should have never lost in
01:02:32the first place.
01:02:34Yeah, before you say anything, I ain't looking for a handout.
01:02:38I'll earn it just like I earn everything else.
01:02:41So go to Crown Jewel, handle your business.
01:02:45When you come back, you are gonna have a problem with me.
01:02:51Matter of fact, you're gonna have a big problem when I once again become
01:02:56El Campeon.
01:02:57Okay, El Campeon.
01:03:05Good for you.
01:03:08Now Damian Priest.
01:03:09You will be good for me.
01:03:11Hey, we're 12 days away from Crown Jewel.
01:03:13And you know the task for Gunther against Cody, but then Damian Priest.
01:03:16So from one former champion seeking his own title to another,
01:03:19there's Ron Breaker.
01:03:21And you see right there, back in Philly, back in the spring,
01:03:23NXT stand and deliver.
01:03:25His only match here in Philadelphia, he won that.
01:03:28What we were referencing about becoming a second time IC champion,
01:03:31there's the list of the active multi-time intercontinental title winners.
01:03:39Ron Breaker now, just sit back,
01:03:40have to have great patience while your opponent's tidal wave of hype gathers.
01:03:45It has turned into an unequaled appreciation for
01:03:49rallying high point every time Jey Uso enters an arena and
01:03:54now as a champion, Philadelphia is ready to yeet.
01:03:58Philadelphia is ready to yeet.
01:04:19And this has been the battle cry that has fueled him.
01:04:21And you listen to the Uber popular yeet and
01:04:25You listen to the uber popular yeet and those lyrics, they're not just words.
01:04:30It's just me, it's on me now.
01:04:35And that's what has made this so special.
01:04:37He alone earned every bit of it his way on Jay's terms.
01:04:42And the love these fans are showing, it reflects that.
01:04:46He on his own, along with about 15,000 yeeters.
01:04:52Pulling him along to victory and boy, oh boy, is he gonna need every single one of
01:04:57them if he's gonna be victorious once again against the badass former champ,
01:05:03Brawn Breaker.
01:05:04A month ago tonight in Southern California,
01:05:09he finally captured it, singles glory.
01:05:14And now, the rematch.
01:05:17For the official introductions, here's Lillian Garcia.
01:05:19The following contest is scheduled for
01:05:25one fall and it is for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:05:32Introducing first,
01:05:38the challenger from Atlanta,
01:05:44Georgia, weighing in at 250 pounds,
01:05:50Brawn Breaker.
01:05:54And his opponent from San Francisco,
01:05:59California, weighing in at 242 pounds,
01:06:06the main event, Jay Uso.
01:06:13And that is what is on the line.
01:06:24It means so much to Jay Uso, the Intercontinental Championship.
01:06:32He won it back on September 23rd.
01:06:34And Wade Barrett, I offer this to you because it's been puzzling to try to get
01:06:39a handle on Brawn Breaker, the badass lately.
01:06:42So Jay takes the belt on the 23rd.
01:06:44A week later, we're broadcasting Monday Night Raw.
01:06:47And Braun comes out and everybody thinks, okay, here we go.
01:06:50They're gonna get after it again.
01:06:51And instead, the two shook hands.
01:06:54Then Jay had the title defense against Xavier Woods.
01:06:57And Braun's attacking everybody, and that's been going on.
01:07:00Yeah, I spoke to Braun about that.
01:07:02He said he felt disrespected when he shook Jay's hand one week after losing
01:07:07the championship.
01:07:08Didn't feel that the respect he gave Jay was reciprocated.
01:07:13And as a result, decided to do a 180.
01:07:16Well, he needs a 180 in a hurry in this match because Jay Uso
01:07:20takes immediate control.
01:07:22This one continues on Raw.
01:07:23Some of the best fans at all here in Philly.
01:07:29That is what is on the line, the Intercontinental Championship.
01:07:32Jay Uso, title defense against Brawn Breaker.
01:07:34Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett with you here.
01:07:37And wait, all the family history attached to this belt for Jay.
01:07:41The fifth member of his family, an extended family, to have the IC title.
01:07:44That includes his father, Rikishi,
01:07:46who has expressed incredible pride in recent media visits.
01:07:50More than just the weight of a title for Jay, there is legacy attached.
01:07:55There is family pride attached.
01:07:57There's also the fact that it was 18 years in the making for
01:08:01Jay Uso to finally ascend to the top of that mountain.
01:08:04And when his first singles championship of defending it,
01:08:08maybe a much bigger proposition.
01:08:12Kinda caught Brawn Breaker by surprise with that victory four weeks ago.
01:08:16It's very hard to catch a man by surprise twice.
01:08:21Breaker's been in control for
01:08:23the majority of the early going here in this championship match.
01:08:26Four weeks ago, he lost this belt, now trying to regain it.
01:08:29What speaks volumes to the hard wearing nature of Brawn Breaker.
01:08:33He really was hit by a blitz style attack by Jay Uso from the off.
01:08:39But as tends to happen in Brawn Breaker matches, he does not stay down for long.
01:08:46So interesting when you size up rematches, Wade.
01:08:48They're all different.
01:08:49Sometimes they can be an extension of where the first match left off.
01:08:52Other times, much can be learned and adapted.
01:08:55How do you read that with Brawn Breaker with what you've been seeing?
01:08:57I think Brawn Breaker's ego was hurt by the fact he lost that championship.
01:09:01He genuinely believed he was indestructible.
01:09:05That has now served as huge motivation to right a perceived wrong in
01:09:11the mind of Brawn Breaker, and that really is nightmare fuel for Jay Uso.
01:09:20And Brawn Breaker's just having it all his own way right now.
01:09:24And we've seen Jay Uso take a hell of a lot of beatings over the years and
01:09:28bounce back.
01:09:30But there is very little sign of life in the body of Jay Uso at this point in
01:09:35the matchup.
01:09:36Especially the damage that has been done to his lower back.
01:09:40You saw him reaching for it there.
01:09:42The knees were driven in.
01:09:44He was sent into the buckles.
01:09:45He has been targeting that lower back.
01:09:48Now Jay Uso potentially a rallying moment here with a series of right hands.
01:09:55You see this crescendo of yeeting around us.
01:09:59Clearly helping Jay Uso.
01:10:02But Brawn Breaker does not give a damn what they want.
01:10:07Boy, and the arrogance of Breaker as he was in the cover.
01:10:12And we've seen this before out of him.
01:10:16A lot of people would call that a mistake.
01:10:18I wouldn't.
01:10:19Why?
01:10:19I can promise you Brawn Breaker was not gonna get a three count there.
01:10:23He knows full well that Jay Uso would have kicked out on that.
01:10:28And he's mocking Jay Uso, causing damage to the psyche of Jay Uso.
01:10:33Yeah, you're the champ, but you're simply not on my level.
01:10:36That's the message.
01:10:38The former Intercontinental Champion won the title
01:10:42defeating Sami Zayn at SummerSlam.
01:10:45But then now here's the cover with the hook of the leg, and
01:10:48Jay does indeed kick out.
01:10:50This is just turning into a highlight reel performance from Brawn Breaker thus far,
01:10:55who is having way too much fun for a man who lost his championship four weeks ago,
01:11:00and now has the opportunity to win it back.
01:11:02Look at this level of athleticism.
01:11:06He is dynamic, explosive, strong, powerful, and just twitchy, quick twitch athlete.
01:11:13Game changing athlete, that level of power,
01:11:16that level of unbridled menace bouncing around the ring.
01:11:21Who can do things you're not supposed to be able to do with that level of muscle
01:11:25mass on your frame.
01:11:26A good parry and counter from Jay.
01:11:29And the biggest right hand of all.
01:11:36Just clocked clean to the jaw of Breaker, who fell hard.
01:11:42Jay struggling.
01:11:46Jay perhaps looking for the hip attack, but
01:11:48it turns into a kick opportunity against Braun, and now up top.
01:11:53This has been much better from Jay Uso,
01:11:56who tends to struggle in the early goings off matches.
01:12:00The less he thinks in there, the more he works off instinct,
01:12:04the better Jay Uso tends to get.
01:12:07Breaker looking for the superplex as Jay tries to neutralize that effort.
01:12:19And here he comes.
01:12:21That's just unfair.
01:12:23Top rope Frankensteiner by Braun Breaker into the cover for the title again.
01:12:29But the kick out, and you can see the disappointment as Breaker nailed that
01:12:34Frankensteiner.
01:12:39Braun Breaker had the IC title for just 51 days.
01:12:44That's the second shortest completed title reign since March of 2022.
01:12:49And now he's looking to get it back in control here against Jay Uso and
01:12:53his title defense here in Philly.
01:12:56Both men are hurting in a big way, arguably Jay more than Braun.
01:13:00How did no one spin?
01:13:02Jay comes up with the spear out of nowhere, the hook of the leg to retain.
01:13:06And the kick out as Braun Breaker survives.
01:13:09Somehow just enough left in the tank of the challenger,
01:13:13Braun Breaker after it looked like Jay Uso's Intercontinental
01:13:18Championship reign was hanging in the balance.
01:13:21That is the danger.
01:13:23That is the threat of Jay Uso.
01:13:25That is what took him to the title in the first place.
01:13:28It wasn't quite enough there.
01:13:32But still, what the heck is Jay looking out off to the side, as is the crowd.
01:13:40There's a commotion out here.
01:13:42My.
01:13:43So was Sokoa, the new travel chief.
01:13:48He comes out with a Yeet t-shirt for Big Brother.
01:13:52I got tickets.
01:13:54I got tickets.
01:13:55Blanked by Jacob Fatu, his enforcer.
01:13:58He says, no, we bought tickets to be here in Philadelphia.
01:14:02Overtly, he's here to support his brother, Jay Uso.
01:14:08You saw the exchange that they had on Friday night when Jay rejected efforts.
01:14:14And now, in the middle of a championship title defense, he's engaging with Sokoa.
01:14:20What are you doing here?
01:14:22I'm trying to help you.
01:14:24I'm trying to help you win.
01:14:25What are you doing here?
01:14:26I'm trying to help you win the belt.
01:14:27What you want?
01:14:28Hey, this is between me and you.
01:14:30I'm trying to help you.
01:14:31What do you want?
01:14:32Look out.
01:14:33Look out.
01:14:37And now, back to business with Braun Breaker.
01:14:39Solo made it quite clear he's here to help Jay.
01:14:42Jay told him previously, I want nothing to do with you.
01:14:46I just want the family back together.
01:14:49What a massive distraction that was,
01:14:51just when Jay Uso had taken control of the match.
01:14:55Come on, Jay.
01:14:56Come on, Jay.
01:15:00And Jay able to turn things around and slams Breaker.
01:15:03Wow, skull first to that steel ring post.
01:15:07And now, Tonga Lola, they're everywhere.
01:15:12Super kick to Tonga Lola as he takes him over the barrier.
01:15:16And now, Tama Tonga's here too.
01:15:19Tama Tonga's here and he needs a super kick as well.
01:15:23Again, overtly, at least at first, trying to help Jay Uso.
01:15:27Jay Uso wanting none of it.
01:15:29Here's over again at Sogo Sokoa and Jacob Batu in the midst.
01:15:35And now, he's over the barrier.
01:15:37Get this out of the way.
01:15:38Oh, my God.
01:15:39You don't listen to me.
01:15:41I'm trying to help you win.
01:15:44I'm trying to help you win.
01:15:45Please, please try to help me.
01:15:45You're not listening.
01:15:47I told you.
01:15:47Listen.
01:15:48I told you.
01:15:48I'm back.
01:15:49OK?
01:15:50I ain't coming back, man.
01:15:51All right?
01:15:52All you gotta do is be the one.
01:15:53All you gotta do is be the one.
01:15:55Watch out.
01:15:56Oh, super spear wipes out Sogo Sokoa.
01:16:01Sogo Sokoa shoved Jay Uso out of the way of that spear.
01:16:06Jacob Batu looks on as Samoan Werewolf,
01:16:10Braun Breaker, the former champion, now title challenger,
01:16:15inadvertently taking out Sogo Sokoa.
01:16:18Oh, and a huge knee to Jay Uso.
01:16:20Braun Breaker doesn't care.
01:16:21Braun Breaker just wants his Intercontinental Championship back.
01:16:26That may well be about to happen.
01:16:28And now Jacob Batu has entered the fray.
01:16:42The two of these men face to face.
01:16:49Glass.
01:16:50Oh, and Jacob's flying.
01:16:54Batu's over-announced this.
01:16:57Jay and Breaker are laid out on the floor.
01:17:00What an absolute mess.
01:17:02Everywhere you look, bodies strewn around the ringside area.
01:17:06The two men who were supposed to be out here,
01:17:09competing for the Intercontinental Championship.
01:17:15So the bloodline arrives.
01:17:18Bodies are laid out.
01:17:20Breaker is down.
01:17:21Jay's thinking Uso's splash and a title defense.
01:17:25He eats the knees, the knees to the gut.
01:17:30Well, both men will be well advised to put this one to bed as soon as possible.
01:17:35This might be it.
01:17:37Super Spear was missed.
01:17:39Super kick has landed.
01:17:41And another.
01:17:42Jay Uso about to get out of John Spear.
01:17:46Jay Uso closing in on a massive title defense in this rematch.
01:17:54Uso's splash puts the weight to retain.
01:17:58Oh my, what a kick out.
01:18:01How after that?
01:18:06The perfect splash.
01:18:08It was all stacked in favor of Jay Uso.
01:18:11This was supposed to be it.
01:18:14Jay Uso was supposed to be home and dry.
01:18:20And now Tama Tonga and Tonga Raw up there on the apron.
01:18:25And Adam Pearce is saying, hey,
01:18:27we've got a championship match that needs to be decided.
01:18:32What a roller coaster for Jay Uso.
01:18:36This should be over.
01:18:37Finally, the Tonga's getting taken out of here.
01:18:41And the championship match continues.
01:18:45So Pearce and officials cleaning things up.
01:18:49The bloodline interrupting this intercontinental championship match that
01:18:53Jay Uso thought he had won, landed the Uso splash.
01:18:57But somehow, deep down the fire within Braun Breaker to kick out.
01:19:03To have done all of that and to have still not secured the top.
01:19:07Jey Uso back up on his feet.
01:19:11And he does damage to Jey Uso.
01:19:16Samoan drops onto the desk with an already badly
01:19:21damaged lower back of the champion.
01:19:25And to be clear, the referee concerned with Adam Pearce and
01:19:29the Tonga missed the entire thing.
01:19:32As Braun Breaker rises to his feet.
01:19:40Braun Breaker saw the whole thing, he's licking his chops.
01:19:44The Samoan werewolf, Solo's enforcer,
01:19:48Jey Uso may have just altered this championship match.
01:19:54Braun Breaker tosses Jey Uso back in the ring.
01:19:58Jey Uso looks dumb already.
01:20:0023 miles an hour when he hits those ropes.
01:20:07And the super spear has landed.
01:20:10The badass to win back the belt.
01:20:14He has done it.
01:20:16Here's your winner and
01:20:20new Intercontinental Champion,
01:20:26Braun Breaker.
01:20:29And to think, Wade Barrett, how much that championship meant to Jey Uso.
01:20:36He was trying to stay out of all the family issues.
01:20:40And in the end, the bloodline involves themselves like that.
01:20:46Well, Solo, Sokoa's message has to be, it didn't have to be that way, Jey.
01:20:51We came down to help you and you threw it back in the face of the bloodline.
01:20:56This is the game changing moment.
01:20:59Jey Uso with the super kick and the Samoan drop on the table.
01:21:04And the referee's back followed by this speed text spear from Braun Breaker,
01:21:10like taking candy from a baby and how heartbreaking for Jey Uso.
01:21:16Braun Breaker is the Intercontinental Champion again.
01:21:20What a night from Philly.
