CreativityTranscript
00:00:00Oh, nice reversal by Ruka.
00:00:04Such impressive quickness from Sol Ruka.
00:00:07It'll rip Morgan over into a snap suplex,
00:00:11but now what does Sol do with her creation,
00:00:14with this space she finds?
00:00:17And Morgan with a right, and Ruka in the fight as well.
00:00:27Oh my God.
00:00:28Brutal open-hand strikes from both women.
00:00:33Back and forth we go.
00:00:35The brand-new women's world champion Liv Morgan, Sol Ruka,
00:00:40arriving on Monday Night Raw.
00:00:43What a night it's been thus far, and the tribal chief will be here.
00:00:48Big uppercut.
00:00:49Ruka with the uppercut.
00:00:50Morgan sent across the ring.
00:00:52Oh, and a big elbow from Sol Ruka, who's rallying now,
00:00:56taking the fight to the champ.
00:01:01Into the corner.
00:01:02Wow!
00:01:02German suplex released by Ruka.
00:01:09Oh, Ruka.
00:01:10Extremely comfortable in the air, on the ropes.
00:01:13Here she comes.
00:01:14Oh, missile drop kick.
00:01:19And a kip up by Ruka.
00:01:24Sol with that runny knee.
00:01:26Cover now on Morgan.
00:01:28Is it enough to put her away?
00:01:29Liv with the shoulder up.
00:01:33Take another look at Sol Ruka launching herself into the air,
00:01:38and that full extension with those long legs right into the sternum of Liv Morgan.
00:01:43Sol Ruka starting to roll in this one.
00:01:46Going to have to fight through the pain to get the job done.
00:01:50This is awesome!
00:01:53This is awesome!
00:01:56Ruka a little slower than usual getting into position on the rope.
00:02:00Trying to get up top, and she gets there.
00:02:03Ruka now.
00:02:04Oh, runs into the code breaker by Liv Morgan.
00:02:08Here's the cover.
00:02:09Is it enough?
00:02:10And a kick out at two by Ruka.
00:02:14Well, think about this, Cole.
00:02:15If you're Liv Morgan, you come out here to celebrate,
00:02:17you end up in an impromptu matchup with someone you're not familiar with,
00:02:21and you could begin your new world championship reign,
00:02:24taking an L on the very first night.
00:02:26You step in the ring?
00:02:28Well, when you're the champ, you've got to fight, right?
00:02:30Only if Adam Pearce doesn't like you.
00:02:34And Liv Morgan going for oblivion.
00:02:36Oh, and Sol, somehow, what a counter.
00:02:39Delivered a kick.
00:02:41Landed on her head and bounced down.
00:02:42Here comes Sol Statcher!
00:02:46Morgan, though, instinctively rolling out of the ring.
00:02:51One of the most spectacular moves in entertainment today.
00:02:55Sol Ruka with a Sol Statcher.
00:02:58Oh, Sol's not done yet.
00:03:01Down go Raquel and Roxanne.
00:03:04Almost stuck in the landing.
00:03:06This woman is unbelievable.
00:03:14I still can't believe the counter to the oblivion.
00:03:19She literally landed on her head and bounced out of it.
00:03:23Incredible.
00:03:24What the hell?
00:03:24Zarya!
00:03:25Oh, no, Zarya!
00:03:27Zarya is who will battle Ruka tomorrow on NXT!
00:03:32The powerhouse Australian.
00:03:34Long-time friends turned bitter rivals.
00:03:38That's all you'll be looking at!
00:03:40These two have a last woman standing match,
00:03:42but that's tomorrow night.
00:03:45Zarya trying to ruin the debut of Sol Ruka.
00:03:50The official Jessica Carr didn't see it happen.
00:03:53She was dealing with Morgan.
00:04:03And now the official begins to count at a count of three.
00:04:08Sol Ruka.
00:04:12An extraordinary performance tonight, only to be ambushed by Zarya, her former friend, and now her bitter enemy.
00:04:21Jessica Carr at the count of eight.
00:04:23Ruka's about to be counted out.
00:04:24Barely makes it back into the ring before 10.
00:04:27Uh-oh.
00:04:27But Lynn Morgan with oblivion!
00:04:29This time there's no getting out of it.
00:04:31Covered by the champ.
00:04:37Here is your winner, the new Women's World Champion, Lynn Morgan!
00:04:45But what a debut on Monday Night Raw for Sol Ruka tonight.
00:04:49No doubt about it.
00:04:50A lot of people around the world becoming familiar tonight with the NXT standout.
00:04:57And it's just the tip of the iceberg for Sol Ruka.
00:05:01That was absolutely incredible.
00:05:02It sure was.
00:05:04Incredibly creative offense throughout.
00:05:07Here is the Sol Snatcher.
00:05:08It seems to go viral every time she delivers it.
00:05:12And Morgan wisely rolled to the outside, but there was no respite even out there.
00:05:17Sol Ruka taken to the skies, taken out the Judgment Day.
00:05:20But Zarya would ruin Sol's big night with this vicious assault on the floor.
00:05:28And as Sol beat the officials count, unfortunately, oblivion meant trouble, trouble for Sol Ruka.
00:05:36You're on the way!
00:05:37Two, three, four!
00:05:39Five, seven, six, one, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, nine.
00:05:40Liv Morgan, the World Champion, celebrating time!
00:05:45Uh-oh!
00:05:46Maybe now?
00:05:47Uh-oh!
00:05:47Rematerally, perhaps!
00:05:50La Primera, the former women's world champion, Stephanie Bacare.
00:06:33Well, as they've been all week long, the stars are out tonight.
00:06:41What a showing for Liv Morgan.
00:06:44But we're talking in the front row, too. F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S Fabulous is in the
00:06:50house alongside Maino and Dave East and Jim Jones all together hosting the podcast.
00:07:00Let's rap about it. Michael Cole, I know you're a subscriber. You're a big fan of the Let's Rap About
00:07:05It podcast.
00:07:07I am, but Lil Yachty's still my guy.
00:07:09You can have more than one guy. You're like Mr. Hip Hop. You're like who Rosenberg thinks he is.
00:07:14Yeah, pretty much so. Rosenberg's a, he's a hater.
00:07:18Anyhow, anyhow, let's talk about what happened at WrestleMania yesterday.
00:07:22We kicked things off, of course, on ESPN.
00:07:23Brock Lesnar, Obafemi, Obafemi delivering a fall from grace.
00:07:27But what happened after that was shocking.
00:07:30It was Brock Lesnar hanging it up.
00:07:32I'm not here to write fairytale stories, and I'm not here to feel good about anything.
00:07:37I'm here to cause utter frickin' chaos.
00:07:43I'm the meanest and baddest son of a bitch that ever walked the face of the planet.
00:07:59The single moment that I realized Brock Lesnar would be the next big thing.
00:08:04The very first moment I ever laid eyes on Brock Lesnar.
00:08:10He was the youngest WWE champion in history.
00:08:17He's terrifying. He's a movie character.
00:08:20The ring just imploded.
00:08:22The biggest freak we've ever had in this business.
00:08:25There was such a mystique around him.
00:08:28There was just a different aura around Brock.
00:08:42Anything that you thought was happening all goes out the window
00:08:45because the dynamic in the room changes when the beast is here.
00:08:48The guy comes over from the WWE
00:08:50and actually becomes the heavyweight champion of the world.
00:08:57It's impossible to do.
00:09:22The streak is over.
00:09:24My eyes got about that big, I said, holy, the streak is done.
00:09:31And the ring, in an octagon,
00:09:33I don't think there's anyone on this planet that could take him.
00:09:37The most decorated combat sports athlete of all time.
00:09:45From his athletic ability to his look, he was undeniable, really.
00:09:50Once you see Brock Lesnar, you know exactly who he is.
00:09:54Brock was just a specimen from the first time I saw him.
00:09:58He was just effortless.
00:09:59This is better than everybody else.
00:10:02A lot of people paid a lot of money to see Brock get the shit out of me.
00:10:05I never think that I believe in saving my life.
00:10:14The beast!
00:10:15The conqueror!
00:10:18By the...
00:10:19Brock Lesnar!
00:10:28I'm not a superstar.
00:10:31I'm an ass kicker.
00:10:35I am Brock Lesnar.
00:10:41Brock Lesnar!
00:10:46Myrtle!
00:10:47I'm unwell.
00:10:52Myrtle!
00:10:53I'm humble.
00:10:54I'm so good.
00:10:56I'm humble.
00:10:57I'm so good.
00:10:59I'm so humble.
00:11:00I can't get all this.
00:11:01I'm so humble.
00:11:02I'm so humble.
00:11:04I'm so humble.
00:11:04My like, my life is true.
00:11:16So now Paul Heyman has one singular focus and that is the vision they're here live
00:11:42Logan Paul, Austin Theory, the current world tag team champions from the vision led, of course, by the Oracle Paul
00:11:51Heyman
00:11:52The vision kicked off WrestleMania Saturday
00:11:57In a six-man tag team matchup against the Usos and LA Knight, of course, I show speed on the
00:12:03side of the vision
00:12:04What an incredible way to kick off WrestleMania Saturday a very very impressive showing from I show speed
00:12:12But a little miscommunication would send Logan Paul to the floor allowing LA Knight to hit a BFT
00:12:19And then things went even further south
00:12:22Well, they've been bullying speed throughout the entire matchup Logan Paul had had enough blaming speed
00:12:28Logan would suffer a 1D and then they would coke speed
00:12:34Yeah, LA taken out his buddy LA Knight new Usos with a little salt in the wound a spectacular
00:12:40I show speed splash through the announce table
00:12:44That was the first of what about nine times their table was destroyed this weekend was a rough weekend for
00:12:49the
00:12:50US announce table Spanish announce team got out of it
00:12:54Another scratch
00:12:56You got a 1
00:13:05Allowing LA Knight to hit a BFT
00:13:09But he got back Braun Breaker
00:13:12Well, and I just mentioned it a few moments ago
00:13:14I think for Logan Paul and Austin Theory
00:13:17They now have a man in Paul Heyman that's going to focus entirely on them with Brock Lesnar along the
00:13:22way around
00:13:23And credit where it's due Austin Theory and Logan Paul achieved the tag team championship on their own
00:13:28Heyman said divide and conquer go do what you got to do and they understood the assignment perfectly
00:13:48The scowl on the face of the pressure theory that cocky look on the face of Logan Paul the vision
00:13:55is here
00:14:18We're in Las Vegas tonight at T-Mobile arena 13,691 WWE fans on hand
00:14:25Wrapping up a spectacular weekend in Las Vegas for WWE
00:14:30Heyman division in the ring
00:14:48Ladies and gentlemen
00:14:50Heyman, my name is Paul Heyman
00:14:58I had a whole speech prepared but the beginning of this entire program threw me off a bit
00:15:08You know, my favorite part of WrestleMania has always been expect the unexpected
00:15:19And yesterday was a moment that was so unexpected
00:15:26It will live inside my heart and I suggest a lot of other people's hearts for the rest of their
00:15:33lives
00:15:37And yet
00:15:38Despite the fact that earlier tonight
00:15:43Bill
00:15:43CM Punk came out here
00:15:46And was kissing the asses of all the people backstage
00:15:50And in the production truck
00:15:53And all the people behind the scenes
00:15:56And how great they are
00:15:57This supposed greatest production team of all time
00:16:02When they did the then, now, and forever
00:16:05Still have my beast in the now
00:16:11So these stupid bitches in the truck and in the production team
00:16:17Just can't take the reality of what went down yesterday
00:16:22So let me bestow upon you my wisdom
00:16:27Please take him out of the now
00:16:30And put him in the forever
00:16:33Because he's not the now
00:16:35And he will forever be
00:16:37The baddest
00:16:39That has ever been
00:16:41In a WWE ring
00:16:44And that beast's name
00:16:53Is Barack Leicester
00:17:18Now
00:17:19Let's talk about the now
00:17:22And the now is the fact
00:17:25That WWE is experiencing a resurgence
00:17:29In the tag team division
00:17:31Thanks
00:17:32To Austin Theory
00:17:33And Logan Paul
00:17:40Your heavyweight tag team champions of the world
00:17:44The V-Chain
00:17:46And if I can interrupt
00:17:48Your regularly scheduled programming for a moment
00:17:51Ladies and gentlemen
00:17:53A personal message
00:17:55From Logan Paul
00:18:23The only reason
00:18:32The only reason
00:18:33That the Usos
00:18:35And
00:18:39The only reason
00:18:41That the Usos
00:18:47The only reason
00:18:49That the Usos
00:18:50And LA Knight
00:18:51Stole
00:18:52The victory
00:18:53From my brother and I
00:18:55At Wrestlemania
00:18:56Was because of that
00:18:58Unbreakable
00:19:00Backstabbing weasel
00:19:01I so speak
00:19:08I am
00:19:11I am
00:19:12I am absolutely sick
00:19:15Of these YouTubers
00:19:17These streamers
00:19:19Thinking they can just
00:19:20Come in
00:19:21To our business
00:19:23And
00:19:23Do what we do
00:19:27I hate these outsiders
00:19:30I hate these outsiders
00:19:38Nothing to happen at Wrestlemania matters
00:19:41Nothing
00:19:41Because guess what
00:19:44I show speed
00:19:46Left this weekend
00:19:47With a piece of my fist
00:19:49Lodged in his face
00:19:51And Austin and Austin and I
00:19:54Left this weekend
00:19:55Retaining as your
00:19:58Still
00:19:59Tag team champions
00:20:01Of the world
00:20:12I think
00:20:14It's only fitting
00:20:16If we all
00:20:19Take a moment
00:20:20To realize the fact
00:20:22What a magnificent
00:20:26Magnificent
00:20:27Favor that was done
00:20:29For me
00:20:29By
00:20:30Gunther
00:20:31And Gunther
00:20:33Sir
00:20:34Not only do I
00:20:36Thank you
00:20:37I also realize
00:20:38I owe you one
00:20:40Anytime you're ready
00:20:42I'm willing to repay
00:20:44But the best
00:20:46Assist
00:20:47Of the weekend
00:20:48Belongs to the man
00:20:50That cut
00:20:52Set
00:20:52Rollins
00:20:54In half
00:20:55Ladies and gentlemen
00:20:57Please
00:20:58Welcome back
00:21:00To Monday
00:21:01Night
00:21:02Raw
00:21:03Braun
00:21:07Breaker
00:21:08The unpredictable
00:21:26Badass
00:21:28Braun Breaker
00:21:31The man who led
00:21:33The overthrow
00:21:34Of Seth Rollins
00:21:36In the vision
00:21:37And the man who
00:21:38Returned at
00:21:39Wrestlemania
00:21:39During the Seth Rollins
00:21:41Gunther match
00:21:42Out of seemingly
00:21:43Nowhere
00:21:44Breaker would level
00:21:45The former
00:21:46Visionant leader
00:21:47With a spear
00:21:49At ringside
00:21:50And then after the match
00:21:52After Gunther
00:21:52Had procured the victory
00:21:54A 75 yard dash
00:21:56Folks
00:21:57A full head of steam
00:21:59And one more
00:22:01Thunderous spear
00:22:02To Seth
00:22:03Freakin' Rollins
00:22:06A freak of nature
00:22:10Ron Breaker
00:22:11Who's been out
00:22:12For a few months
00:22:12With injury
00:22:13Is back to
00:22:14100%
00:22:18And the vision
00:22:20Growing stronger
00:22:21By the day
00:22:45Welcome back
00:22:46Welcome back
00:22:55I was thinking
00:22:56Today
00:22:59One year ago
00:23:02Ironically
00:23:04Is when I became
00:23:05The leader
00:23:06Of the vision
00:23:07Right here
00:23:08In this very same
00:23:09Arena
00:23:10Because Seth Rollins
00:23:12Was too
00:23:14Weak
00:23:19Now I don't know
00:23:20About you
00:23:22But my favorite part
00:23:24About Wrestlemania
00:23:26Weekend
00:23:26Was watching
00:23:28Seth Rollins
00:23:29Get this
00:23:30Close
00:23:30To beating
00:23:32Gunther
00:23:33And then I ruined
00:23:35Everything
00:23:37For him
00:23:41What?
00:23:44What?
00:23:54I hope you're
00:23:56Back there
00:23:57At home
00:23:59Who knows
00:24:00I hope you're
00:24:01Watching
00:24:01Somewhere
00:24:02Because
00:24:03From here on out
00:24:05Every single day
00:24:07From this day
00:24:08Forward
00:24:09I will be
00:24:10Coming after you
00:24:12I'm going to
00:24:13Attack you
00:24:14I'm going to
00:24:15Make your life
00:24:19Rollins
00:24:20Not a hard man
00:24:21To find
00:24:22Tonight
00:24:23Breaker
00:24:25Rollins
00:24:25With an equalizer
00:24:26Steel chair
00:24:27To the vision
00:24:28But Seth got caught
00:24:30With that left
00:24:30From theory
00:24:31And now
00:24:32The pressure
00:24:33Putting a beat
00:24:35Down on Rollins
00:24:36And this is a
00:24:36Tough situation
00:24:38For Seth
00:24:38Two on one
00:24:39The tag team
00:24:40Champions
00:24:42Rollins
00:24:42About to be
00:24:43Destroyed
00:24:44By the very
00:24:44Thing he
00:24:45Created
00:24:47And he took
00:24:47Some guts
00:24:48For Seth
00:24:48To come out
00:24:49Here tonight
00:24:49In this situation
00:24:50But
00:24:51Numbers are
00:24:52Just getting
00:24:52To it
00:24:53Logan
00:24:53Treating Seth
00:24:54Like a heavy
00:24:54Bag right
00:24:55Now
00:24:57Rollins
00:24:58Is all but
00:24:58Helpless
00:24:59Outnumbered
00:25:01By the tag team
00:25:02What
00:25:05Really
00:25:11Oh
00:25:12Yes sir
00:25:14Dawkins
00:25:15Test
00:25:15The street
00:25:16Profits

00:28:17Hope you're done
00:28:18With the wigs
00:28:18And the makeup
00:28:19Because it's time
00:28:19To get serious
00:28:21And you brought me
00:28:22Into the judgment day
00:28:23You told me it was a family
00:28:25But let's put the rest
00:28:25Of the crew
00:28:26To the side
00:28:26For a second
00:28:27Let's forget about them
00:28:28Because you and me
00:28:29Specifically
00:28:30We're supposed to be family
00:28:35Now you've changed so much
00:28:36I barely even recognize you anymore
00:28:39You start taking your cues
00:28:41From CM Punk
00:28:42You let him get into your head
00:28:45What about me?
00:28:46What about the guy
00:28:47That stood behind you
00:28:48For twenty years
00:28:50Defending you
00:28:50Taking bullets for you
00:28:53You walk around the clubhouse
00:28:54Causing fights with everybody
00:28:56Talking down to us
00:28:57Like you're the leader
00:28:59It cost us gold Finn
00:29:03Ever since we jumped you out
00:29:04People haven't asked me
00:29:05J.D.
00:29:06How could you do that to Finn?
00:29:07How could you throw away
00:29:08Twenty years?
00:29:10You wanna know the truth?
00:29:14It was easy
00:29:16I'd do it again
00:29:17So now tonight
00:29:18After all this time
00:29:20I'm gonna step out
00:29:21Of that big fat shadow
00:29:22That you cast
00:29:24I'm gonna show the whole world
00:29:25What I already know

00:31:06The following contest is second for one fall.
00:31:09Introducing first, from Gray County, Wichlow Iron,
00:31:14weighing in at 190 pounds,
00:31:17Dan Bauer!
00:31:19Well, at WrestleMania, the demon
00:31:22took out Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
00:31:25Tonight, Finn Bauer goes for the number two man on the hit list,
00:31:29his former pupil, J.D. McDonough.
00:31:33No demon tonight, just one of the best damn pro wrestlers
00:31:37this business has seen in the last two decades.
00:31:41It's Bauer and McDonough.
00:31:43This is Personal Live next.
00:31:57You live next.
00:32:04$200,000, $20,000 plus nó
00:32:05as Bauer, but Brazil doesn't pay foró.
00:32:23I love you.
00:32:53In wrestling, you should be remembered from all the wars you've been and everything you've done.
00:32:57Look at this! I don't believe it!
00:32:59Some people hate me, but after I'm gone, I think people don't know the truth.
00:33:04Who was this guy, really?
00:33:09Oh.
00:33:12That's the hardest part, standing up.
00:33:15I really was here for a reason more than just wrestling.
00:33:19The fans liked believing Hulk was Superman.
00:33:24Is it art? Is it fakery? What is it?
00:33:28Well, there she goes. One, two, kick that.
00:33:31Life was so clear. Where did that life go?
00:33:35The mistakes shone through.
00:33:38Most of us think of Hulk Hogan as the King of the Ring.
00:33:41But was there a sinister side to his success?
00:33:44What Hogan preaches is apparently not what he practices.
00:33:49I was running pretty hard partying.
00:33:51Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was hot.
00:33:53I don't know what to tell you.
00:33:54It's kind of like a recipe for disaster.
00:33:56There are millions of kids that believe in me and what I stand for.
00:33:59You're a liar.
00:33:59The character was so strong, Terry got lost along the trip.
00:34:03Hulk Hogan has torn down everything that he once built.
00:34:09Really want me to tell the truth? Okay.
00:34:11I know where all the bodies are buried.
00:34:14We literally didn't speak to each other anymore.
00:34:16But I realized I still love him.
00:34:21One night they love you, one night they don't.
00:34:24I mean, there's Hulk and there's everybody else.
00:34:27Terry Bully, it was just a human being.
00:34:30But when I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan.
00:34:33The character helps people.
00:34:34That's all I know.
00:34:35I can't predict what the final act of the story's going to be.
00:34:39But the legend of Hulk Hogan will live forever.
00:34:55The heartless, rather hiding from the night.
00:35:02We'll bleed in the darkness.
00:35:06Castles will crumble and towers will fall.
00:35:10Blast of the rubble, set fire at home.
00:35:14Where this evil comes from, we'll die or we know.
00:35:19This soul's gone real hell.
00:35:21Finn Balor, set for action against his former protégé tonight.
00:35:44And here's a moment from a breakdown in Wicklow, Ireland.
00:35:48Weighing in at 195 pounds, representing the Judgment Day.
00:35:54J.D. McDonough!
00:35:57At 12 years old, J.D. McDonough walked into Finn Balor's wrestling school in Bray, County, Wicklow, Ireland.
00:36:06And he said, I want to be a professional wrestler.
00:36:09And over the next 20 years, Finn Balor would mold this young man in his image.
00:36:14Where J.D. would wrestle around the world and win championships everywhere.
00:36:18And Finn Balor did not like the way he was disrespected by McDonough a few weeks ago.
00:36:25Listen, J.D. McDonough, you may not like him, but you've got to give him credit for being double tough
00:36:29after competing yesterday in the chaotic six-man ladder match.
00:36:33McDonough is medically cleared, but there is no way in hell his body feels like it's supposed to right now.
00:36:38Well, his midsection all wrapped up.
00:36:40He suffered a Mexican destroyer on a ladder by Pinto.
00:36:43And Balor now off the barricade.
00:36:45And this is a fight.
00:36:47This is so personal.
00:36:48Finn Balor eager to get his hands on J.D. McDonough.
00:36:52You have to imagine, we almost saw the Dirty Dom betrayal coming, but not J.D. McDonough.
00:36:58J.D. McDonough has been like a brother to Finn Balor for, as you said, 20 years.
00:37:03And I was shocked when it happened as well.
00:37:06I mean, we know Dirty Dom's attitude, but for J.D. McDonough, to your point, him and Finn have been
00:37:11so close.
00:37:12But J.D. said he had to get out of the shadow.
00:37:14Felt like he was in this massive shadow by Balor for many years.
00:37:17It's almost as if J.D. is proud of what he did.
00:37:19He said he would do it again.
00:37:21I don't know who would be proud of aligning themselves with Dirty Dom over Finn Balor.
00:37:26But again, and not only J.D.
00:37:29I mean, what Balor did for Dominic Mysterio and his career in the Judgment Day.
00:37:34And the match is now finally official.
00:37:36After the fight throughout the WWE Universe here.
00:37:39And Finn Balor taking it to J.D. McDonough.
00:37:43McDonough as tough as nails.
00:37:46Finn Balor is as well.
00:37:48And Finn's going to put J.D. to the test tonight.
00:37:50Oh, nice high elbow by McDonough as he drops to his knees in pain.
00:37:56You know it's bad when even delivering offensive maneuvers costs as badly as that just did.
00:38:04And he's 24 hours away from that ladder match that occurred last night.
00:38:11And, you know, J.D. McDonough's got a mean streak.
00:38:14He's got a vicious and sadistic side.
00:38:16He'll dissect his opponents.
00:38:18Great to the midsection.
00:38:20Great strategy by Balor as he catches McDonough on the head with a kick.
00:38:25Finn could end this right here.
00:38:28Looking for the coup de grace to McDonough.
00:38:31Rolls out of harm's way.
00:38:33And McDonough now right to the back sends Balor to the floor.
00:38:37McDonough has taken over.
00:38:46You know, we talked about the long-time friendship.
00:38:48But these two men have trained together over the years.
00:38:51This is the first time they've ever gone one-on-one at this level.
00:38:55But the point of making it is McDonough knows Balor as well as Balor does.
00:38:59Right.
00:38:59These are sometimes the toughest opponents you'll ever face are those that you train with.
00:39:03Those that you are so familiar with.
00:39:04Because oftentimes you think nearly identically.
00:39:07Which means a lot of our offense is easy to counter.
00:39:10Almost instinctively.
00:39:11You know, McDonough, I don't like his attitude.
00:39:13But I can't help but be impressed with what this young man can accomplish in the ring.
00:39:18I've said it before.
00:39:19I said it last night.
00:39:20He's going to be a champion one day.
00:39:24Former tag team champion.
00:39:25Single goal.
00:39:26Definitely a possibility in the near future.
00:39:28Count of seven.
00:39:29Now a count of eight.
00:39:31By official Chad.
00:39:32And Finn Balor just beats the tag.
00:39:35And McDonough put it on the attack.
00:39:37Headbutt by McDonough.
00:39:38Cover.
00:39:38Hook of the leg now.
00:39:40And remember, Finn and McDonough were tag team champions together on two different occasions.
00:39:51And Balor able to block the right hands.
00:39:53And now firing back.
00:39:59McDonough now with that sliding leg drop right across the neck.
00:40:03And a cover and a kick out.
00:40:09Talked about McDonough.
00:40:10Remember, Balor was in a fight last night as well.
00:40:15Well, a part of Balor.
00:40:17Finn's explained to me in the past that it's almost exhausting when the demon comes out.
00:40:23But it's a catharsis.
00:40:24All of the anger, all of the rage that lives inside Finn Balor that he usually controls once it's out.
00:40:30It's like a fresh start for Balor.
00:40:32Well, he admits it takes a lot out of him, both physically and mentally.
00:40:35Because Balor now sends McDonough across the ring, into the corner.
00:40:39The Irish ace, J.D. McDonough able to scoot out of harm's way.
00:40:43Takes Balor down.
00:40:44Oh, wow.
00:40:46Excellent.
00:40:46And here's the cover now by J.D.
00:40:49Balor kicks out.
00:40:52McDonough has wrestled all over the world.
00:40:54Europe, Mexico, Japan.
00:40:58Well-versed in many different techniques.
00:41:01I think McDonough may have landed on the face of Finn Balor with that corkscrew splash.
00:41:08See a little blood coming from the mouth.
00:41:11Now continuing to punish Finn Balor.
00:41:15So odd to see how far this relationship has fallen.
00:41:24Las Vegas faithful trying to rally Finn Balor.
00:41:31Put McDonough in control.
00:41:41The confident J.D. McDonough has gained control over his former mentor, former Judgment Day partner, Finn Balor, in this
00:41:49one-on-one matchup.
00:41:52Balor trying to focus on the banged-up ribs, the midsection of J.D. McDonough.
00:41:58Uh-oh.
00:41:59That backfired for J.D.
00:42:01And now Balor creates some separation and has a chance.
00:42:11Finn knows he has been in a fight tonight.
00:42:14We saw the beginning of the matchup and how heated these two have become.
00:42:18Once the best of friends, now trying to dispose of one another.
00:42:23Here comes Balor to the body.
00:42:28And a vicious stomp to the sternum of McDonough.
00:42:32And Balor looking extraordinary at the moment.
00:42:36Finn now.
00:42:37There's the reversal.
00:42:39And oh, nice swing play by Finn.
00:42:47Balor's got McDonough in trouble.
00:42:50Uh-oh.
00:42:50Nobody home there again.
00:42:51McDonough.
00:42:52Jackknife cover for the win.
00:42:53Kickout.
00:42:54But then again, J.D. McDonough showing he knows Balor so well.
00:42:57Oh-ho.
00:42:58Headbutt.
00:42:59Good night.
00:43:01Into the cover.
00:43:03Another near fall from McDonough.
00:43:06The testament to the toughness and the grit of Finn Balor.
00:43:11Who was almost KO'd by the abundant head of J.D. McDonough.
00:43:17Nice way to put it.
00:43:20Mammoth-like skull.
00:43:23J.D. now top rope.
00:43:25Oh!
00:43:26And got his boots up.
00:43:27Sent him across the ring.
00:43:28This time, the kick connects.
00:43:37Balor up top.
00:43:39Coup de grace to the injured ribs.
00:43:42One, two, three.
00:43:44Balor with the win.
00:43:48Here is your winner, Ben Balor.
00:43:55Oh, wait a minute.
00:43:56Oh, Dirty Dom.
00:43:59That bitter, that jealous, that sore loser.
00:44:03Dirty Dominic Mysterio assaulting Balor.
00:44:09In Dom's defense, he was forced to compete in a street fight against the Demon yesterday.
00:44:14And he got beat.
00:44:17Ben turns Dom inside out.
00:44:20Well, Dom's going to rue the day.
00:44:22He decided to come out, out here and take on Balor.
00:44:25Driven into the corner.
00:44:27Dominic Mysterio about to feel the wrath of Balor.
00:44:31And J.D. McDonough saving his judgment day, buddy.
00:44:36Those two deserve each other.
00:44:43Let's head out to our own Jackie Redman.
00:44:51Well, thank you so much backstage with the ring general, Gunther.
00:44:54Gunther, how are you feeling after a big victory over Seth Rollins this weekend at WrestleMania?
00:45:00I feel fantastic.
00:45:02I proved every word right I've said about Seth in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania.
00:45:06Well, on that note, I am curious if you and Paul Heyman were aware of the presence of Braun Breaker
00:45:14this weekend in Vegas.
00:45:15Jackie, first of all, just to make that clear, there is no me and Paul Heyman.
00:45:21The only thing Paul Heyman does is owing me a very big favor.
00:45:26Well, what exactly is this favor?
00:45:28I think it's a fair question.
00:45:29In regards to my future, the only thing everybody should get comfortable around here is seeing the World Heavyweight Championship
00:45:36back around my waist very soon.
00:45:45I hear the world title thing, and it just gets me thinking, let me talk to you.
00:45:50See, from one WrestleMania winner to another, I just want to say congratulations to you.
00:45:54You must be very proud of yourself, and you should be.
00:45:56You beat Seth Rollins.
00:45:58You did it.
00:45:58But I know that you know that I know that you know you're not the only one with the eyes
00:46:09on that world title.
00:46:10What that means to me is I start doing the math, and I think back to WrestleMania.
00:46:13I think one of us WrestleMania winners needed a three-on-one advantage to make that win go down.
00:46:19It wasn't me.
00:46:20That was you, my man.
00:46:21And so that counts as an L, if you ask me.
00:46:23And with that being an L, that L is short of an A.
00:46:26It's short of a night.
00:46:27Why?
00:46:27Because there can be only one with everybody saying L, A, no.
00:46:33Yeah.
00:46:34Let's see you around, man.
00:46:36I don't think Gunther liked that interruption much from L.A. Night.
00:46:40Out there, anybody interrupt the ring general.
00:46:42Well, Monday Night Raw, live on Netflix, heads to the border, Laredo, Texas, next week.
00:46:47And what a show we have in store.
00:46:50Going to see the return of the brand-new women's intercontinental champion, Becky Lynch, in the house.

00:48:22interesting fact roman reigns won his first career world heavyweight championship last night
00:48:28it is 11th career wrestlemania event
00:48:37so
00:51:06The OTC live next.
00:51:27Last night at WrestleMania, I had the honor to sit here at ringside and call what I believe is one
00:51:34of the greatest main events in the history of WrestleMania.
00:51:39We saw CM Punk earlier tonight.
00:51:42What a battle he went through with Roman Reigns.
00:51:49I spoke to Roman Reigns on the WrestleMania post show.
00:51:53And asked if after the main event, after the experience, if he now had respect for CM Punk.
00:52:01And Roman said, I will never like him, we are not the same kind of person, we have nothing in
00:52:07common.
00:52:08But he stands up for what he believes in, and he was willing to fight for what he believed in.
00:52:14Corey, it's a match that could have went either way.
00:52:17It's a match that could have went either way.
00:52:17That's a classic.
00:52:18Throughout the entire night.
00:52:19Those are the types of WrestleMania main events you hope for, you dream of, year after year.
00:52:24Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns' 11th WrestleMania main event.
00:52:33And his cousins out here to celebrate this moment.
00:52:37I said it last night on the air, Corey.
00:52:40There's just something right in the world when Roman Reigns has gold.
00:53:17I said it last night on the air, Corey.
00:53:27I said it last night on the air.
00:53:57There's still chaps in the ring.
00:54:21There's still chaps in the ring.
00:54:24Las Vegas!
00:54:26Yes!
00:54:32Acknowledge me.
00:54:40I was going to keep it simple tonight.
00:54:43I was going to talk about this title.
00:54:45I was going to talk about business moving forward.
00:54:47I was going to talk about the future.
00:54:52But then I ran into my cousins and
00:54:56it just makes sense that we discuss some
00:54:59family business first.
00:55:12I miss this.
00:55:22I miss
00:55:25having y'all's full trust.
00:55:29I miss
00:55:30having y'all's full respect and love and admiration.
00:55:36I miss doing business with you guys.
00:55:43You see, right now, this is us.
00:55:48Separated and scattered.
00:55:50We're weak like this.
00:55:53People like CM Punk can run their mouth and disrespect us like this.
00:55:58There's no limits to it.
00:56:00Some rapper from the 90s running his mouth to you.
00:56:05That's crazy to me.
00:56:07You're main event Jey Uso.
00:56:09You're the yeet man.
00:56:10You're the one that changes.
00:56:18Look at that.
00:56:19That's crazy.
00:56:21You changed the whole environment
00:56:23and you got wash rappers running their mouths to you.
00:56:32That's because we're like this.
00:56:35This ain't us.
00:56:39This is us.
00:56:44This is the power.
00:56:47When we all come together,
00:56:49nobody can touch us.
00:56:53We got the proof of concept.
00:56:55When we're like this,
00:56:56we ran this business for four years straight.
00:57:09I'm not asking you to serve me.
00:57:12I'm just asking you to be my blood
00:57:15and stand with me.
00:57:41I speak for my brother when I say this.
00:57:44You the OTC.
00:57:46You'll always be our tribal chief.
00:57:50Anytime the bloodline in your city,
00:57:53everybody already know,
00:57:55they the tools
00:57:56and we the ones.
00:58:00I can't see you.
00:58:14I can't see you.
00:58:18I can't see you.
00:58:37I said it was a family affair.
00:58:41The Samoan werewolf, Jacob Fatu.
00:58:51What a brutal encounter for Jacob Fatu defeating Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania.
00:59:40The Samoan werewolf, Jacob Fatu, Jacob Fatu, Jacob Fatu, Jacob Fatu, Jacob Fatu.
00:59:50It's been a while since the last time I saw you.
00:59:59There can only be a couple reasons you would come out here.
01:00:03I must assume it's to acknowledge me.
01:00:07Nah, that ain't it.
01:00:21Well then I guess it's because you want this.
01:00:28I don't want that title.
01:00:33I need that title.
01:00:45And to be clear, I'm not out here to be tribal chief.
01:00:52But I need everything that the tribal chief has.
01:00:59I need the shoe deal.
01:01:03I need the private jets.
01:01:05I need that Rolex.
01:01:08I need more vehicles.
01:01:10I need a bigger house.
01:01:11I need to put my children in better schools.
01:01:15And I'll do anything for my family.
01:01:18Even if I gotta go through you.
01:01:21So at backlash, so at backlash, I'm upgrading.
01:01:27At backlash, I'm leveling up my household.
01:01:31And at backlash, you gonna know Jacob Fatu is all gas.
01:01:36And you have no brakes with it.
01:01:39Yarrrra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra.
01:01:59Yarrrra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra.
01:02:04I agree with you.
01:02:07I want all those things for you, too.
01:02:13Maybe you can beat me, Jacob.
01:02:15Maybe you can.
01:02:17But the question is, if you can beat me,
01:02:21can you handle the burden of this title?
01:02:26But then we have to look at it on the other side.
01:02:29If you can't beat me,
01:02:33can you handle the burden of having to acknowledge me?
01:02:43Understand this, Jacob.
01:02:45It's thin air up here.
01:02:47The footing, there's not much of it.
01:02:49This is the top of the mountain.
01:02:55I'm going to give you the rest of this week to think about it.
01:02:58I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no.
01:03:00But I'm not sure you're ready.
01:03:03So I'll see you next week on Monday Night Raw.
01:03:07Little cousin.
01:03:17Jacob Bantu stood up, took his shot.
01:03:22But what will the decision of the tribal chief be?
01:03:42I got you.
01:03:44Talk to the Simpsons.
01:03:45I'll talk to you.
01:03:46I got you.
