| 0:00.0 | So Rio kicked off this week's episode of Monday Night Raw. They came to the ring and they said, |
| 0:03.9 | welcome to Monday Night Rio because if you are the people that go out there and kick off Roar, you have to take the name of the show and stick your name at the end of Monday Night Raw. This was funny too because the fans are not ready for this. It's when Ripley went Monday Night, they all went Raw. It feels like, no, that's not. I was going to save Rio. Now you didn't need that explaining. |
| 0:21.8 | I explained it to you anyway, but welcome, my friends, to ups and downs, the only rest of you show you need. In around about three or four weeks, whenever the flabbit is, we have been doing this for 10 years, which is absolutely ridiculous. So thank you very much for sticking with me. Please do like the video. Please do subscribe. and please do all of that stuff. |
| 0:36.7 | But as for now, we take the figure of power. |
| 0:38.8 | There's something good. |
| 0:39.6 | We give it up. |
| 0:40.4 | There's something's bad. |
| 0:41.2 | We hump it. Please do like the video, please do subscribe, and please do all of that stuff. But as for now, we take the finger of power. |
| 0:38.6 | There's something's good, we give it up, there's something's bad, we hump it to death. I shouldn't have said that, let's up those doubts. Eyo Sky was stealing gimmicks too, because she said nobody is ready for Rio. And I was like, Eo, you shouldn't have done that. Somewhere in the back, Aska would have going to hear that. And she was going to kick the crap out of Kyrie saying, because it's poor Kairi who always gets this. Essentially, it was just to celebrate the fact that Ria Ripley and Eo Sky are now the brand new women's tag team champions. And just as Ria was going to even take on anybody who does want to take us on, mate. Out came an interruption. It was Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez. Now, Liv Morgan made a very good point. She was like, Ert, when I lost my women's tag team championship was something to do with actually being beaten, I had to go away when Bailey and Lara Valkiria also interrupted them, okay, that may be true for you, Liv Morgan, but as for you, Roxanne Perez, well, you did lose your championship because you absolutely suck. Bailey then had a bunch of logic gibberish, two plus two weeks potato, if you will, because she was all like, I also beat you in a singles match recently. So now we should have a tag team title match. That's like walking in to ring going, hi Steve. And Steve turns around and says, I want pizza in my face. I know what Steve, I'm done. Oscar and Kyrie saying they ran in to kick the crap out of everybody because they are mega heels. They kind of focus on E.O. Sky for obvious reasons. She was doing gimmick infringement when Rio Ripley made the save. When we learned later on, we were going to get three-way between these teams and the winner was going to be the number one contenders for those tag team titles and the match was going to be at Sun Night's main event, which makes sense you want all this star power in the Raw Rumble. Now this is nothing major and in fact it felt very much like an old-school episode opening I should say of Monday Night Raw but once again we are focusing on these women's tag team titles. Look at the people that want it. It is a who's who. I like this, especially because a couple of years ago, sometimes these belts would vanish and you'd find them on the side of a milk carton. I'm giving it an up. Even the simple stuff at the moment works, because we used to do Diopolis. AJ Styles then cut the funniest promo, because of course he has taken on Gunther in the main event. |
| 2:35.4 | He was like, do you know what I've learned? |
| 2:36.8 | Over my many years in wrestling. |
| 2:39.4 | It's all about respect and I respected John Cena. |
| 2:42.1 | I was like, one, bro, you used to walk around going let's be up John Cena with your friends |
| 2:47.2 | and also last week you called Gunther a bitch. |
| 2:50.4 | That ain't respectful at all. He then did that again because he promised you tap out called Gunther a bitch. That ain't respectful at all. |
| 2:51.7 | He then did that again because he promised to tap out Gunther like a bitch. At the time it kind of felt like he was just stealing Gunther's lines, but actually that was going to tie into the finish. And I like that a lot. We'll talk about it. We then saw Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez go back to the Judgment Day Clubhouse. And Finn Baugh was there playing WW2K when Lyft turned into his mouth. |
| 3:10.6 | She was like, what are you doing? Why aren't you out there seizing the day? You keep going on about winning championships and saving the Judgment Day, but here I find you on your silly little computer game. They walked off. I was like, man, we're definitely Tony Finn in 2026 because he got eviscerated and he even said after this one, you just watch me. |
| 3:27.7 | You just watch me. He had a plan. When we finally got to some wrestling, it took a good old wild two starts and it was El Grande Americano, number three, I think. It may be number two. I don't know how they ordered them, but it was not number one. He was taken on Javon Evans, as the commentator has told us, Javon is really good at jumping because he's bouncy. Now, of course, it was Bravo, and we gave a big wink-wink-wit nudge here because he did do an airplane spin. Michael Cole just gave it away on commentary. He was like, well, that looks very familiar. when really he went to the top rope. Javon Evans stops him with a Spanish fly. He hit the OG cutter. |
| 4:01.3 | And he got the way. on commentary. He was like, well, that looks very familiar. When really, he went to the top rope. |
| 3:59.4 | Jvon Evans stops him with a Spanish fly. |
| 4:00.8 | He hit the O.G cutter. He got the one, two, three. I was like, well, that was nice and easy. Devon is getting a push. Sadly, after this, I did laugh out loud, because he got cornered on Alan the announced table, I suppose, by the rest of El Grande Americanos |
| 4:12.9 | when he jumped over them and ran away. |
