00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:30Ladies and gentlemen, this is Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas,
00:35which hosts WrestleMania this coming weekend.
00:39But tonight, the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania is in the capital,
00:43the state of California, Sacramento.
00:45A host of many major WWE events over the years.
00:48And tonight, for the 15-time host of Monday Night Raw,
00:53which is live tonight on Netflix, and presented by Snickers.
01:00Well, Sacktown is Yeet Town tonight.
01:08Number one contender for the World Heavyweight title, Jey Uso is here.
01:11In five nights, he battles Gunther for the championship at WrestleMania.
01:17The awe-inspiring Penta is here six nights away.
01:23From his opportunity to win his first championship in WWE,
01:26the Intercontinental title.
01:28His opponent tonight will be one of his three WrestleMania opponents.
01:33From Judgment Day, Finn Balor.
01:35Finn versus Penta here tonight.
01:38The main event in WrestleMania Saturday, a stripling threat,
01:42with three of the biggest players in the game.
01:43This man, CM Punk, will have Paul Heyman in his corner for this match.
01:49Set freaking Wallens, who has massive issues for years with CM Punk,
01:56will be the next man in this triple threat match at WrestleMania,
02:02along with his former Shield brother, Roman Reigns.
02:06And Paul Heyman is here.
02:11And Paul is awaiting the arrival of the original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns,
02:17who will be here live on Monday Night Raw tonight.
02:21It is the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania.
02:25And we take a look back at last week on Monday Night Raw,
02:28when Gunther and Jey Uso had a confrontation.
02:33At his main event, Jey Uso, a very serious and intense number one contender.
02:44You had me, Gunther.
02:46You had me, Gunther.
02:48You had me, man.
02:51But it wasn't enough for you that it was getting my family involved.
02:56You violated my brother, left him a bloody hope while I'm sent tied to the ropes.
03:01I sat here, and I watched you wipe my brother's blood all over your body.
03:07Now, his blood is on my hands, too.
03:12I ain't never felt so hopeless, so helpless, disrespected, pissed off, mad, angry, damn near scared.
03:22You made the whole damn world stop.
03:26You know what the crazy thing is, Uso?
03:28In my darkest moment, man, a light bulb went off on me, Uso.
03:33You know what I realized?
03:37I'm not afraid of you no more.
03:41The night before WrestleMania, I'm gonna say a prayer.
03:44And I'm gonna ask the Lord to forgive me for the man who I'm about to become.
03:51Because at WrestleMania, I'm gonna get you.
03:54I'm gonna get you for me.
03:58I'm gonna get you for Jimmy.
04:00I'm gonna get you for my whole damn family.
04:03And I will take the World Heavyweights Championship.
04:08Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'll have a very special interview with the World Champion
04:16Gunther later on tonight.
04:18But, Pat, welcome to WrestleMania week.
04:22You're damn right.
04:23The road to WrestleMania has led us to this week, where the climax is right around the corner.
04:28So many answers are about to be found.
04:30And lastly, the road to the World Heavyweight Championship took a turn with Jey Uso stepping
04:35up the Gunther right in his face.
04:38Indeed he did.
04:39This is the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania, which of course comes
04:43to this Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas.
04:50You're talking to him?
04:56Yeah, it was supposed to be scheduled for a bit later on tonight.
04:59I'm not quite sure what he's doing out here to get off the show.
05:08As a man who does interviews, that face does not appear to.
05:10He is waving your hand.
05:13I believe it's time now for the interview.
05:14Godspeed in there, Michael Cole.
05:19Gunther does not appear to be in a mood to have a jovial conversation
05:26with Michael Cole, the greatest of all time, but we shall see.
05:32So I was expecting this a little bit later on tonight, but
05:37Gunther, let's just get to it.
05:38Two weeks ago, you left Jey Uso's brother Jimmy bloodied in the middle of this ring.
05:44And it caused Jey Uso to march down here last week, different person.
05:47Last week, Jey Uso walked down here, he looked me in the eye,
05:54and he told me that he's not afraid of me no more.
05:59Last week, Jey came down here.
06:06Let me get to the point.
06:15Tonight, I'm here to look you and everybody else in their eyes and
06:21tell you that Jey Uso is full of crap.
06:27Listen, guys, I understand you're all frustrated.
06:31I understand you're all frustrated.
06:32But speaking of frustration, Gunther, it appears that you're a bit frustrated.
06:37And we saw what happened last year at WrestleMania when you walked in.
06:41Screw your question.
06:46Screw Jey Uso.
06:49Screw everything Jey Uso stands for, and screw everybody who stands with him.
07:01Ever since I stepped foot in this company,
07:08I am the greatest gift this company has ever received.
07:17For 80% of my time in this company, I have been a champion.
07:24And right now, I am the greatest world heavyweight champion of all time.
07:36And I refuse to let somebody like Jey Uso ruin that for me.
07:51Do it as much as you want.
07:58I don't care.
07:59Jey, I urge you, put your chest out.
08:03Walk into WrestleMania with more confidence than you ever had.
08:08Because it won't matter at the end of the day that bell has to ring.
08:16And when that happens, you still can't lace my boots.
08:21And I will still put you down for a fourth consecutive time.
08:27For the last two weeks, I have been accused.
08:43The last two weeks, I've been told you went too far with Jimmy.
08:47You lost control.
08:49Jey, trust me one thing.
08:52In 37 years of my life, I have never lost control.
08:57And two weeks ago, when I took a bath in your brother's blood, I was in full control.
09:12And I loved it.
09:17And Jey, I want you to go pray to the Lord.
09:21Thank him that I was in control two weeks ago.
09:25Because I wouldn't have been, I would have drowned you both in Jimmy's blood.
09:31And I'm looking forward to it.
09:38I'm looking forward next week, calling my mother and telling her how much I enjoyed it.
09:46To beat the living hell out of Jey Uso and walk out of WrestleMania.
09:52Still the World Heavyweight Champion.
09:57Not much of an interview.
10:06Michael Cole asked two questions and then Gunther, let us know how he feels.
10:13He is not intimidated at all of Jey Uso, says Gunther.
10:18I assume you are intimidated of Gunther.
10:21Good questions.
10:22I don't think he was there to talk to you.
10:24You know, I said this last week.
10:26I've never seen Gunther in this state.
10:28He's frustrated and he's lost control of the situation now.
10:32Will that help him or hurt him come Saturday at WrestleMania?
10:36He said he's never lost control, but boy, he did seem to flip a switch there in the middle of the ring right in front of our eyes.
10:41We also know, ladies and gentlemen, that we have a Women's Tag Team Championship match on WrestleMania Sunday.
10:47It'll be Liv and Raquel defending against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
10:50Let's take it back to this past Friday night on SmackDown.
10:53It was a gauntlet match and what a performance by Lyra and Bayley.
10:58This is the final matchup of the gauntlet.
11:01But Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are extremely important in this matchup as a team.
11:08Ran the entire gauntlet and then obviously Bayley gets a tag whenever she needs it.
11:13Picture perfect tag team wrestling.
11:15Lyra Valkyria would take to the sky, which she is very comfortable doing.
11:20Bayley and Lyra would knock off secret purpose for Chelsea Green to earn an opportunity.
11:26They go to WrestleMania.
11:28The wrestling contest is scheduled for one fall.
11:49Introducing first, accompanied by Raquel Rodriguez from Elwood Park, New Jersey.
11:57She is one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan.
12:09The insufferable Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez head to the ring as Liv Morgan looks to build a little bit of momentum toward WrestleMania Sunday.
12:21Up next, Bailey takes on Liv Morgan in a match presented by Total Wireless live on Netflix.
12:30The Sacramento Kings are still alive in the NBA as the season is wound down.
12:44Head to the playoffs now.
12:45We're in Sacramento tonight.
12:47We invite you to join Sam Roberts and Megan Morant to dive into everything from Monday Night Raw and WWE on the Raw Recap.
12:53Brought to you by Fanatics, available every Tuesday on WWE YouTube and all audio platforms, wherever you get your podcasts.
12:59Don't miss this week's episode with a special guest, Liv Morgan's boyfriend, Dominic Mysterio.
13:08I'd have to pass that one by.
13:09Sam and Megan doing a fantastic job on the Raw Recaps every single week.
13:13I'll be the first to admit that lately I've been in my head.
13:21Everything that's happened with Jade and Naomi, it really messed me up.
13:25And now this whole situation with Io and Rhea has brought at a different version of me.
13:29But different isn't wrong.
13:32My role to WrestleMania has been filled with nothing but blood, sweat, and tears.
13:36Not no complaining, no whining, no excuses, no, just straight facts.
13:42I've been doing nothing but standing up for myself and speaking the truth.
13:47Something that I think that anybody would do, something that I hope people are teaching their kids to do.
13:53And you don't have to like the truth, but you can't deny it.
13:59Just like I can't deny that now it's a triple threat.
14:03Yeah, I've been through a lot.
14:06But I'm still the best.
14:09So I'm gonna use everything that I've been through to be the Bianca that I know that I can be.
14:14I'm the Bianca that won Elimination Chamber.
14:17I'm the Bianca that's never been pinned at WrestleMania.
14:20And I am the strongest, the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best Bianca that you have ever seen.
14:27So it doesn't matter if it's a triple threat.
14:29Because there's nothing that Rhea or Io can do to stop me from getting my flowers and walking out of WrestleMania as champion.
14:36Because you cannot spell WrestleMania without E-S-T.
14:40And the truth is Bianca Belair has earned her way into this matchup winning Elimination Chamber.
14:47It is a triple threat match, it is part of WrestleMania Sunday.
14:51Io Sky, no champion's advantage, defended against Bianca Belair and the eradicator Rhea Ripley, live at WrestleMania.
15:00And we also know at WrestleMania, on WrestleMania Sunday, Bayley will get her WrestleMania opportunity.
15:08She teams with Lyra Valkyria, the Women's Intercontinental Champion, to take on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Tag Team titles.
15:23And here we go, and we are underway.
15:26Bayley and Liv Morgan, third time in their career, they've gone one-on-one, Pat.
15:30Liv Morgan has never beaten Bayley in a one-on-one matchup.
15:33However, she did eliminate Bayley from the Elimination Chamber match earlier this year.
15:38Yeah, Liv Morgan starts his thing off with a smack to the mouth at Bayley.
15:41And now Bayley in pursuit of Morgan.
15:44Cat and Mouse outside, kicking off WrestleMania week in a big way in Sacramento.
15:48Wise move by Liv Morgan, the former two-time world champion.
15:53Missed Money in the Bank, and Pat mentioned it earlier, a record-setting three-time Women's Tag Champ.
15:59Liv Morgan and Raquel believe they are the greatest Women's Tag Team of all time.
16:03Three-time Tag Team Champs.
16:05They can lose that, obviously, on Sunday to Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
16:08And if you're Liv, you're trying to beat down your WrestleMania opponent as much as possible.
16:12You know, we talked a lot last week, too, about the frustration that had been building for
16:16Bayley over the past number of months, not able to pick up victories.
16:20The Elimination Chamber for the Intercontinental title and so forth.
16:24But maybe the gauntlet match win on Friday helped cure some of those ills, Pat.
16:29Well, losing to Lyra last Monday and then picking up a big-time dub on a Friday could be great.
16:34Maybe Lyra's the perfect piece for Bayley.
16:37Bayley misses wildly with the right hand.
16:39Liv Morgan ducks underneath the clothesline, and Bayley takes her down, does press!
16:42And now Bayley!
16:43Shades of Stone Cold Steve Austin hammering away on Morgan.
16:47Stone Cold, of course, will be a part of the Hall of Fame ceremonies this coming Friday
16:52night in Las Vegas.
16:53Cover now by Bayley, and a kick out by Morgan at two.
16:56Give me a hell yeah, Cole.
16:58Hell yeah.
16:59Can't wait for that.
17:00Bayley, obviously, trailblazer, groundbreaker here in this business.
17:05Yeah, first ballot Hall of Famer speaking to the Hall of Fame, no doubt about that.
17:09One of the core pieces to the women's evolution that celebrating a decade.
17:15Bayley, Bayley!
17:17Bayley, Bayley!
17:18Bayley, a four-time world champion.
17:19Bayley, Bayley!
17:21Accomplished just about everything.
17:22Close to home here, beloved by the WWE Universe for good reason.
17:26And Liv Morgan, speaking of accomplishing everything.
17:29Yeah, Liv Morgan's had quite the year.
17:32He's worked her ass off.
17:34He's gotten better every single day.
17:35Yeah, she lets you know about it, too.
17:37Morgan into the corner.
17:39She's from New Jersey.
17:40She's very good.
17:41Bayley with the clothesline.
17:42And she'll let you know.
17:43And Bayley will put you on your back with the quickness of a cap.
17:47Bayley knows how to have success at WrestleMania.
17:49Remember last year, Pat, she won the Rumble,
17:52went on to win the WWE Women's Championship on the grand stage.
17:57She was afraid for a while over the past few months.
18:01And I had some candid conversations with her that she wasn't gonna make it to WrestleMania.
18:06Be able to punch the ticket Friday night with the gauntlet match win.
18:11I still can't believe we are so close to WrestleMania.
18:14Gonna be quite the week.
18:16Yes, it is.
18:17In Las Vegas.
18:18And nice suplex by Bayley.
18:23Floats into the cover for the win on Morgan and a kick out.
18:26We're sold out tonight.
18:2714,158 on hand for the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania.
18:35The Golden One Center in the capital of California, Sacramento.
18:40Nice counter by Liv Morgan.
18:42Absolutely.
18:43He's able to rebalance everything.
18:45Bayley though, crafty.
18:47Nice deep arm drag by Bayley sending Morgan across the ring.
18:51Absolutely.
18:52And Bayley now.
18:53Nice back suplex delivered to Morgan and Bayley's rolling.
18:56And you can see some competences come back to Bayley here tonight.
19:01Liv Morgan obviously heading for the hills here, hiding behind Raquel,
19:04trying to catch a breather.
19:05Bayley with a big smile and a glance up at the WrestleMania sign.
19:09Bayley now went for the suicide dive and ran right into a right hand by Morgan.
19:18Liv Morgan is nasty and as shrewd as they come.
19:21And now Liv, outside the ring, delivers the first suplex.
19:25And as she rolls the hip, she sets up now for the three amigos.
19:29On the outside goal.
19:31Made great by the late great Eddie Guerrero.
19:34And now Morgan going for the third amigo but a block by Bayley.
19:39And Bayley able to deliver a knee to the midsection.
19:42Morgan right into the steps.
19:43Two suplexes onto the outside.
19:48No, knee to the stairs from Bayley.
19:51And Morgan then stomping on the hand of Bayley as well.
19:54And this could be a disaster off the steps into a suplex.
19:58We're back live here ladies and gentlemen.
20:07Gold in one center in Sacramento.
20:09Over 14,000 sold out the final Raw before WrestleMania.
20:13And on WrestleMania Sunday, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez defend the tag titles
20:18against Bayley and the Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria.
20:21Bayley and Morgan one on one here tonight.
20:24Putting on a clinic in here.
20:25Liv has been in control but Bayley obviously powering up with the people of Sacramento.
20:29And now Bayley unloading on Morgan.
20:33Kick right to the midsection by Liv.
20:36Big palm kick.
20:39Bayley able to block that.
20:42Big knee.
20:43Liv may have a broken nose.
20:45Or a trash cranium.
20:46Bayley hit that right on the button.
20:48Now she's lining up for the buckle.
20:50And nobody, face first into the turnbuckle.
20:53Bayley was going for the sunset flip buckle bomb.
20:57And Liv Morgan read it.
20:59Understood what was happening.
21:01And now Morgan with that step up in Zagiri.
21:05Caught Bayley in the back of the head.
21:06Cover now for the win.
21:07And a kick out at two.
21:09Raquel arguing with the official the count was slow.
21:13Now Liv smacking her in the mouth.
21:15Surprised he can count to three.
21:16But nonetheless Morgan with a kick right to the spine.
21:21Liv Morgan just smacking Bayley in the mouth after that.
21:24She thought it was over.
21:25Bayley continuing to fight.
21:26Now Liv's taking to the sky.
21:29From the second rope, Morgan caught by Bayley.
21:32Bayley now we're gonna turn this around.
21:34Trying to turn Morgan into a Boston Crab.
21:37Liv trying to encounter.
21:39Morgan stacks up Bayley and a kick out by Bayley at two.
21:44Bayley went for the runny knee.
21:46Morgan now looks for a quick victory.
21:48Bayley kicks out at two again.
21:50And Bayley this time caught her with a knee.
21:52Those are two massive knees to the face.
21:54But remember the knee injured on the steps earlier tonight Pat.
21:57Absolutely another sunset flip buckle bump.
22:01And this time it connects.
22:03Bayley drags Morgan back toward the center of the ring.
22:06Cover now for the victory.
22:09And a kick out by Liv Morgan.
22:11Bayley with a flurry of offense there trying to put Liv away.
22:16Sacramento growing restless.
22:22They thought that was over for Bayley.
22:24They thought it was one, two, three.
22:26Looking on here tonight.
22:30Looking on here tonight in Sacramento.
22:32Tremendous battle underway between Bayley and Liv Morgan.
22:37One on one tonight.
22:39Crowd has been electric from the get go.
22:45Liv Warner kicking off Bayley.
22:51Let's go Bayley.
22:52Let's go Liv dueling chance here in Sacramento.
22:55Bayley now out to the apron.
22:57Morgan able to block.
22:58Right to the face.
23:02Another cold breaker by Morgan.
23:04And look at the intense look in the eyes of one half of the tag champs.
23:08Liv thinks that's exactly what she needed.
23:10And now it's rock kick off the apron and Bayley's in deep, deep trouble.
23:14Morgan may have injured herself as well as she came down hard.
23:17Man, what a match.
23:19Two great matches two weeks in a row for Bayley.
23:22Morgan bringing it tonight as well.
23:24Just a harbinger of what's to come at WrestleMania.
23:28Can Liv end this here on a Monday night.
23:31For the win and a kick out by Bayley at two.
23:34What's it gonna take for either one of these women to put the other one away?
23:40They've both taken each other's best shots.
23:43Interesting facial expression by Morgan.
23:46Lyra trying to wheel Bayley on.
23:52Morgan out.
23:54Uh-oh, in trouble.
23:55Bayley now.
23:56As Morgan where she wants her.
23:59Hangs her up on the second rope.
24:02It was on the oblivion.
24:04Bayley was able to reverse it and then sneak out of the neck breaker.
24:09Morgan off the second rope.
24:12Caught by Bayley.
24:14A stutter of sorts for Bayley as Morgan came off the ropes.
24:19And now Bayley with a Bayley to Bayley.
24:22Critical moment of this match.
24:26Cover by Bayley for the win.
24:29One, two.
24:31And now Rodriguez, Rodriguez putting Morgan's foot on the bottom rope.
24:36And Lyra Valkyrie has had it up.
24:39And Lyra attacking Rodriguez.
24:41Bayley on the match one until Raquel Rodriguez got involved.
24:46And now a big boot to the Intercontinental Champion.
24:49Lyra sticking up for a WrestleMania teammate.
24:53And Bayley making Raquel Rodriguez pay.
24:57Flipping Raquel upside down.
25:01Backstabber by Morgan.
25:03They're going for Oblivion.
25:08Lyra Valkyrie helping out Bayley.
25:10Bayley with a jackknife cover.
25:12And a win.
25:13Here is your winner, Bayley.
25:22Lyra Valkyrie says, guess what?
25:25Turnabout is fair play.
25:27Morgan was going for the Oblivion and the win.
25:30Valkyrie helped Bayley.
25:33And the momentum shifts to the challengers for the tag titles Sunday at WrestleMania.
25:39Bayley and Lyra gotta be flying high heading into Las Vegas for
25:44their tag team title opportunities as Raquel and Luke Morgan were outsmarted by
25:51the brand new duo here on Monday Night Raw.
25:55Again, WrestleMania Sunday, the women's tag team titles on the line.
25:58We talked about all the festivities going on WrestleMania week, including both
26:02Friday and Monday.
26:03The Pat McAfee Show will be live on ESPN, 9 o'clock local, 9 o'clock Pacific noon,
26:09on the East Coast from WWE World.
26:11I'll be there, part of Pat's show.
26:13And what a lineup you've got for Monday.
26:15Yeah.
26:16Friday, Monday as well.
26:17But Friday, huge news.
26:19The original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, will be joining us at 9.15 local.
26:24And then the King of Kings, the Cerebral Assassin, Mr. H, will be joining us in the second hour.
26:31We hope you will join us for a celebration of WrestleMania to kick off the whole weekend.
26:35A lot of other special guests as well on Friday.
26:38Well, speaking of Roman Reigns, the main event of WrestleMania Saturday.
26:41Roman, Seth, and CM Punk.
26:47What's the favorite?
26:49I'm gonna force you, my Tribal Chief, out of your comfort zone.
26:55Because at WrestleMania, in the main event, in my corner, your wise man, my best friend, Paul Heyman.
27:07Wise man.
27:11Yes, my Tribal Chief.
27:16Let this desperate fool down easy, will you?
27:23No, my Tribal Chief, I can't do that!
27:29Oh, my tribal chief, I can't do that.
27:40I promise you, I am going to put a beating on the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
27:47I am going to whip Seth Rollins' ass at the main event of Russell Mania.
27:59I feel bad for you, Paul Heyman.
28:04You are in a very difficult, unenviable position.
28:09The easiest solution for all of us, for everyone involved,
28:13would be if you just removed yourself from the situation entirely,
28:18and let me and Punk and Roman battle it out at WrestleMania for
28:23the soul of this industry.
28:26I would take it as a privilege to remove you from the situation right here, right now.
28:39Don't put your damn hands on me again.
28:44See ya, Punk's here.
28:51Hey, Punk's here.
28:56No, no, no.
28:59No, no, no.
29:02No, no, no.
29:09No, no, no.
29:15Now, you owe me a favor.
29:22Well, Paul Heyman finds himself in a predicament here tonight.
29:37Roman Reigns is expected to arrive momentarily.
29:40Pat, Roman and Paul have not been together since CM Punk revealed the favor.
29:44A couple of weeks ago.
29:47I do not envy that wise man right there.
29:59Joke talk continues.
30:08What an ovation.
30:09The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
30:16Introducing first, representing the LWO from San Diego, California.
30:26Weighted at 175 pounds, WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
30:42Rey Mysterio in his home state of California to perform tonight.
30:46Coming up on Netflix, he goes one on one with the athletic Julius Creed of the Creed Brothers.
30:51Live in Sacramento.
30:53Rey Mysterio.
30:58You're gonna be in a building with Rey Mysterio.
31:01You know, Undertaker One Dead Man Show will take place at the state-of-the-art Blue Live Theater at the Papaloo Hotel as part of WrestleMania week this Saturday, April 19th at 10 PM Pacific.
31:22It will feature the Phenom in an intimate setting, sharing never before heard stories from his Hall of Fame career.
31:29Tickets on sale now via Ticketmaster.com.
31:33I'm gonna be front row with that take.
31:35I cannot wait to hear.
31:37And the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania is presented by Wingstop.
31:43He's fat boy.
31:44Love Wingstop.
31:45He's fat boy.
31:46Love Wingstop.
31:47You got good thighs as well.
31:48Wings, you name it.
31:53Bianca, I can see right through you.
32:00You said you were just out there to watch.
32:02And then you said you were just out there to call it down the middle.
32:06But I can see your true intentions now.
32:09You thrive on playing with my emotions.
32:14Winding me up like I'm some sort of toy to you just so you can get what you want and make me seem like I'm the bad guy.
32:22The thing that you fail to understand is that when I lose something that I love, I will stop at nothing to get it back.
32:33And Io, I never had to give you a championship match.
32:38But watching you pout and moan, it really pulled on the heartstrings that I had left.
32:45So, I used a page out of your book.
32:48And I got what I wanted too.
32:50So Io, I advise you to cherish every single moment you have with the Women's World Championship.
32:56And Bianca, I can't wait to make you feel what it's like when I'm the bad guy.
33:03Because at WrestleMania 41, I get back what belongs to me.
33:10It wasn't until last week that Rhea Ripley realized she had an opportunity to get to WrestleMania.
33:20And she's gonna make the most of it.
33:22Rhea Ripley, Theo Sky, Bianca Belair on WrestleMania Sunday for the Women's World Championship.
33:31There is Julius Creed, he is set for action here tonight against the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio.
33:38Let's show you what happened last week, six-man tag team matchup.
33:42The LWO versus the Creed's and El Grande Americano.
33:46This was a show until Ivy Niles turned things around, Pat.
33:50Clearly handed a piece of metal to the masked man to put underneath his mask and Rey caught him.
33:54El Grande Americano had a loaded mask and we're all learning about El Grande as we go.
34:00Apparently he is A-OK with loading up his forehead and dropping some metal on your face.
34:06Picks up a big time win and then El Grande got out of there as Burt Fischer and his wife Leanne looked off.
34:12So Rey Mysterio, part of WrestleMania Saturday, gonna take on El Grande Americano.
34:19It's a shame that Rey Mysterio's gotta take on Americano and not actually Chad Gable,
34:27although Chad Gable does have his WrestleMania moment this year at least.
34:31Very complicated story.
34:34Chad Gable and El Grande Americano do resemble each other, kind of.
34:38There are certainly some differences.
34:40Julius Creed now backs Mysterio into the corner.
34:43Julius goes 6'3, 229.
34:46Obviously the height and the power advantage over Rey, but this isn't Rey's first rodeo, Pat,
34:51when it comes to a much larger athlete and a competitor.
34:55Yeah, Rey's had to have a strategy against a bigger opponent for his entire career.
34:59That led to him being in the Hall of Fame.
35:01Now Julius Creed's a little bit different though.
35:03This guy's more explosive than he's supposed to be.
35:06Too tall, too strong, too fast, jumps too high.
35:09Has it all.
35:10First time ever these two have gone one-on-one as Creed looks to wear Mysterio down.
35:15This year's WrestleMania, Pat, will mark the 13th career match for
35:20the legendary Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania.
35:23And just like that, quick as a hiccup, backflip against the rough.
35:28Julius Creed still in command.
35:31Mysterio's had so many great moments over the years at WrestleMania.
35:35Never forget 2006.
35:37He's won a triple threat match to win the World Championship after winning the
35:42Rumble earlier that year.
35:44I don't know what Rey Mysterio was doing there, thinking that he needs to go power
35:47for power with Julius Creed.
35:49I respect it though.
35:50Julius Creed needs to take advantage of it now.
35:54Once Rey starts using momentum, you're in big trouble.
35:57Yeah, just like that, the quickness of Mysterio with Atlanta sending Creed toward the ropes.
36:01And Rey now getting fired up.
36:06Former three-time world champion just got stomped in his tracks by Creed.
36:11Cover and a kick out.
36:12Rey just got turned inside out by Julius Creed.
36:14And Julius Creed loves it.
36:16You know, this is, take another look at this power here.
36:19Pat, this is Creed's first career singles match on Monday Night Raw.
36:25But he is no stranger to individual competition.
36:28The single season record holder in wins in amateur wrestling at Duke University.
36:35You see those ears, those are earned on the mat.
36:40Very successful amateur wrestling.
36:42Two-time NCAA, All-American, one of the most decorated wrestlers in the history of Duke in the ACC.
36:49Not everybody will understand this reference, but he's an Ohio guy too.
36:53So take that for what you will.
36:55Incredibly tough, gritty, down to fight whenever.
36:58Telling me a story earlier today, his dad coached amateur wrestling when he was a young child.
37:04He used to sleep on the mats in the gym.
37:06And Rey Mysterio was doing this when he was doing-
37:09Uh-oh, Julius sends him out to the apron, but Rey with tremendous balance.
37:14Mysterio with a forearm to the face and Creed back down to the floor, and Rey's gonna go high.
37:18Sacramento loves it.
37:20And now Brother Brutus Creed distracting the official, and Chad Gable gets involved.
37:27Chad Gable would say that he's a genius for doing that, as Julius just jumped up to the top loop.
37:32Now Dragon Lee with a little payback.
37:34Chaos is breaking loose here on Monday Night Raw.
37:37Senior official Chad Patton.
37:40We're gonna take control.
37:45And he sends everybody to the showers.
37:48So we're gonna get Rey in.
37:50Six piece.
37:51Julius one-on-one, finally.
37:54What are we doing?
37:56This is America.
37:58WWE fans sold out of Sacramento tonight, over 14,000 trying to-
38:03Will Rey Mysterio on?
38:05Julius Creed's been dominating this matchup ever since LWO.
38:08And American Made were kicked out by official Chad Patton, but Rey fighting back now.
38:14Mysterio who takes on El Grande Americano at WrestleMania.
38:20Rey Mysterio.
38:23Uh-oh, but look at this.
38:24Rey tumbles hard and Creed hit his spine on the apron.
38:27Great, we're honored by Rey Mysterio to get Julius Creed out of the ring.
38:31And now Rey Mysterio building some momentum here.
38:36Rey with that baseball side, caught, caught by Creed.
38:45What an incredible move and power by Julius Creed.
38:48He picked Mysterio out of the air, intercepted him.
38:51Now he powers him up into a suplex position.
38:54And Julius Creed marching up the steps toward the ring.
38:57Are you kidding me right now?
38:59Julius Creed's strength.
39:02Absolutely insane what we just witnessed.
39:07And now a big kick drives Rey back toward the corner.
39:11Oh, nobody home.
39:13Rey stepped out of harm's way and Creed posts to the shoulder.
39:17Julius Creed was parading around the outside of the ring with Rey Mysterio.
39:22Felt like he was on top of the world.
39:24Man, that was incredible what Julius Creed just did a little bit ago.
39:28Catching Mysterio in midair, powering him up.
39:31But Mysterio able to counter.
39:33And now Rey, top rope where he feels comfortable.
39:35Rey with a hurricanlana from the top, sending Creed into the corner.
39:40And this is what Rey wants.
39:43Julius Rearling, him in charge.
39:45One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
39:54And WrestleMania fever is building here tonight on Raw.
39:59Huge rights from Rey Mysterio.
40:02What is wrong with this?
40:07Uh-oh, again caught.
40:11Picked out of midair again.
40:13Julius Creed and what a counter by Mysterio into a DDT.
40:17The legendary Rey Mysterio and a kick out by Creed.
40:24I feel like we're watching two humans not from this world.
40:28I've had the honor to call the majority of the matches in Rey Mysterio's
40:32illustrious career.
40:34And I am amazed each and every time.
40:37Father time has not caught up with Rey Mysterio.
40:41Yes it is.
40:45That knee drives Mysterio to the ropes.
40:54Creed now straps down.
40:56Got a little over shot as he went up over the top rope for The Fool.
41:01Rey Mysterio played Julius Creed perfectly there.
41:04No, no, no, no, Rey, turn around.
41:09El Grande, Americano's here.
41:12And El Mysterio with El Grande.
41:15And Mysterio now trying to rip the mask off of Americano to prove to the worthless
41:19Chad Gable.
41:20Creed now from behind.
41:21Rolls off Mysterio.
41:22Rey kicks out at two.
41:24What a shock.
41:26Gable kicked out and who shows up now?
41:28El Grande, Americano.
41:29Never see him in the same place at the same time with Chad Gable.
41:32Meanwhile, Mysterio.
41:33Couple weeks ago we saw him same place, same time.
41:366-1-9.
41:37Let's drop the dive, Rey.
41:40One, two.
41:43Rey's going to Mania.
41:44Here is your winner, Rey Mysterio.
41:53Big victory for Rey here tonight.
41:58Meanwhile, El Grande Americano with a sneak attack to Mysterio.
42:03And now the LWO coming to his aid.
42:10And again using what I would believe was yet still a loaded mask this week.
42:15You see the headbutts being delivered by Americano.
42:18You gotta believe that steel plate is still in the mask of this man.
42:22And there again, wiping out Al of LWO.
42:26Adam Pearce has gotta do an investigation into this.
42:29Somebody's gotta check out this guy's mask before WrestleMania.
42:33El Grande Americano keeps hitting people with this, not forehead but Cinco head.
42:38And knocking people out.
42:40He might as well have a football helmet on.
42:42Because just like that, Rey Mysterio's out.
42:45You're telling me that's not Chad Gable?
42:51That's El Grande Americano.
42:58Look it, there it is, I told you.
43:00Once again, slipping that piece of metal behind the mask.
43:04Loads that forehead up, hits the Cinco head off of Rey's face.
43:10Not once but twice, just stays removed from WrestleMania.
43:16Well on WrestleMania Saturday, that man, El Grande Americano.
43:22I think he just said gracias.
43:24Wants to embarrass the greatest luchador of all time in Rey Mysterio.
43:33You're telling me that's not Gable?
43:35That's El Grande Americano.
43:37I'm not saying what he's doing is right.
43:39I'm just saying that's El Grande Americano right there.
43:43Well, ladies and gentlemen, WrestleMania is presented by Snickers.
43:47Snickers satisfy.
43:49And by WWE 2K25, WrestleMania sale is here.
43:53WWE 2K25 is 20% off on PlayStation Today.
43:57Bringing you the opportunity to rewrite Bloodline, Family History, and 2K Showcase,
44:02plus inter-gender battles, and more game-changing updates.
44:08I've been flying out of town for some peace of mind.
44:12It's like always.
44:16Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths about how the New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.
44:24But the fact of the matter is, the War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination for more than a decade.
44:32We've won gold on multiple continents.
44:36And last week, we had you beat Dead to Rights.
44:46You took the coward's way out.
44:48You knew you couldn't beat us.
44:51You say this is about these titles.
44:56But it's about more than these championships now.
44:59Last week, you took this to a whole new level.
45:04Because you didn't come for these titles.
45:08You came for my neck.
45:11You tried to put me back on the shelf.
45:13You tried to end my career.
45:16So at WrestleMania, this isn't gonna be a match.
45:21Hell, this isn't even gonna be a fight.
45:25This is war.
45:34He's dragging him off.
45:35He's dragging him off.
45:36I mean, we're not in it, but it's still all right.
45:37Yeah.
45:38Excuse me, guys.
45:39Xavier, Kofi, we just heard from the War Raiders.
45:41We got WWE and Clash of the Clans, and you're gonna interrupt this, too?
45:44Jackie, your lack of etiquette is simply audacious.
45:46Listen, genuinely, I'm sorry, but we heard from the War Raiders earlier,
45:50and they said that you guys took things to a whole new level last week.
45:53And they're saying that your match at WrestleMania in less than a week is gonna be a war.
45:58A war?
45:59Yeah.
46:00We've been in war.
46:01You see how these people treat us?
46:02You see how the people in the locker room have been treating us this entire time?
46:04It's been war the whole time.
46:05We've been at war the entire time, Jackie.
46:07But the war path stops at WrestleMania when we take back what belongs to us.
46:11That's our WWE World Tag Team Championships, and we remind the entire world
46:16that your boys, the New Day, are the greatest tag team on the face of planet Earth.
46:21Because Jackie, last week was just a taste of what the New Day is willing to do
46:27to get our titles back.
46:28And after WrestleMania, Eric is gonna wish that we would've taken his head off so
46:32him and Ivar wouldn't have to catch the beating they're gonna get this Saturday.
46:35And when we regain our Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, every irrelevant and
46:40immature member of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees,
46:46raise their hands to the sky, and scream in unison.
46:50And thank God for the New Day.
46:59Guys, thanks for the time.
47:00We'll see you at WrestleMania.
47:02Cole, sounds like the New Day is ready for a war.
47:05Back to you.
47:07Better you than me interviewing them, Jackie.
47:09Nonetheless, tonight- Amen.
47:10Monday Night Raw, live from Sacramento, is presented by Total Wireless.
47:16It's not some, it's Total Wireless.
47:23And this is phenomenal.
47:29The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
47:47Introducing Chris, from Gainesville, Georgia, weighed in at 220 pounds.
47:54The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
48:02AJ Styles prepares for Logan Paul in WrestleMania, but it's got Karrion Kross next.
