01:20you're absolute when you step into the ring with seth rollins tala tonga and javon evans by the looks
01:27of it you're very confident right now but do you feel like you have an edge in this match an
01:32edge
01:32don't talk to me about an edge it took me six months to become nxt champion to become
01:38north american champion that takes much longer for people out there i am exactly who i say i am a
01:46star
01:46a bona fide star and tonight will be the beginning when i prove exactly that i find it very poetic
01:56that this is the place where we've had many famous monarchs napoleon king louis king henry
02:02and guess what after tonight it's going to be king ricky so tala javon and seth just know this
02:11i'm winning tonight i'm going on a night of champions to become king of the ring and baby
02:17absolute ricky saints is marching to summerslam and becoming a new world champion and that
02:26is absolute
02:31thank you absolutely ricky saints for your time coming up momentarily the intercon and otada will be
02:36on the line as penta defends against ray mysterio but for now let's send you back to ringside that's
02:43got to be some sort of record byron saxon has had two interviews go south tonight because they didn't
02:49want to talk to him any longer than they had to yeah and then we had to talk more and
02:51i think the fans
02:52are probably sick of hearing us all all night long thanks a lot byron nice job
02:58hey la knight's on his way out here i cannot wait i got to hear what the megastars got to
03:03say
03:19hey
03:20hey big week on the wwe podcast network and this will be released on wednesday ray mysterio who battles
03:28penta for the intercontinental championship later on tonight will be a part of the undertakers podcast
03:33and becky lynch with a very interesting conversation with stephanie mcmahon there you see the eiffel
03:39tower we are wrapping up our european tour tonight in paris and these fans are absolutely incredible
03:44mural outside the accor arena and you saw the uh wwe fans autographing this massive sign paying
03:52respect to all of their favorite wwe superstars
04:00and monday night raw live from paris on netflix is presented tonight by thor dash
04:06uh
07:01Yeah.
07:04Now ordinarily, I'd walk out here and I'd say on Friday, I'm going to go through all four of them.
07:09I'm going on to the king of the ring.
07:11I'm going to win that.
07:11And then I'm facing Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
07:30I'm going to win the king of the ring.
07:45And I'm going to go on to face him.
07:47And I'm going to go on to face him.
07:47You know why?
07:48Because I kind of consider the landscape right now.
07:51Roman Reigns is a guy whose empires on the verge of crumbling.
07:56So he's out here trying to hold on to any power he can.
08:00He's keeping us all trapped in that bloodline vortex.
08:04So I can't think that on Friday, somebody from the bloodline ain't going to come down here and interfere in
08:10that match to help Jey Uso win.
08:14And I know, I know, I know, I've heard the warnings from Jimmy Uso, from Jey Uso, don't talk about
08:21the family.
08:21It's not your business.
08:25But boys, unlike you, I don't take orders from Roman Reigns.
08:31I don't fall in line to a tribal chief.
08:35In this neighborhood, I am the chief.
08:40So as chief L.A. Knight, let's go ahead and give me the benefit of the doubt.
08:44Let's say I go on and I win on Friday night.
08:47I go on to the king of the ring.
08:49I win that too.
08:50And then I am facing Roman Reigns.
08:52Look at him right in the eye for that World Heavyweight Championship.
08:57You can't think for one second that every single member of the bloodline ain't going to come down here.
09:03Jacob, Jimmy, Jay, John Jacob, Jingleheimer, Schmidt.
09:14In fact, his name is my name too.
09:17And he's probably going to get involved in that match.
09:19As will probably their mom, their dad, their uncle, their aunt, their daughter, their grandfather.
09:25Maybe their neighbor down the street.
09:27Just to make sure Roman Reigns is still the champion.
09:31And guess who's going to put the big old stamp on it?
09:34Adam Pearce.
09:37Now I ain't going to go as far as to say that Adam Pearce is in the pocket of Roman
09:42Reigns or the bloodline.
09:44But what I am going to say is there is a stark, marked difference in the way that Adam Pearce
09:51talked to me last week.
09:52And then a difference in the way that he talked to Roman Reigns the week before.
09:56He's clearly got his favorites and I ain't it.
09:59But that's okay.
10:01I may be unchosen.
10:03But every single one of you, you chose me.
10:09And more importantly than any of that, I chose myself.
10:13Which means I do it my way.
10:16Which means I get the job done and I will make you one single solitary promise.
10:20Which is that I don't know how to quit.
10:23I don't know how to stop.
10:25I can't stop the undeniable Kevorka and I can't stop being L.A. Knight.
10:32And with that being the case, I want to go ahead and wish every single man in that match on
10:37Friday luck.
10:38And I especially want to wish Jey Uso luck.
10:41I want to wish you so much luck, Jey, that you're able to do this on your own
10:45without calling your whole damn family down the ringside.
10:58Uso!
11:02That took a little bit longer than I thought for Jey to make his way out here.
11:10The Uso's have warned L.A. Knight over the past few weeks, Corey, to keep Roman's name
11:16and the family's name out of his mouth.
11:19And I understand how it can be attractive to heed that warning.
11:23But let's be perfectly honest, Roman Reigns and the entire bloodline
11:26made L.A. Knight's life a living hell for a long, long time.
11:32L.A. Knight isn't about to forgive and forget.
11:38Here comes main event Jey Uso.
11:41So let's just say Jey's temper hasn't been his strong suit recently.
11:46Not at all.
11:48I'm about to get him on.
11:49Let's go.
11:50L.A. Knight is just me.
11:55L.A. Knight is just me.
11:59L.A. Knight is just me.'re
12:01not a dog, but I'm not a dog like this. L
12:05.A. Knight is just me. He's
12:11just me.
12:33I said main event Jey Usob is now in your city!
12:42I said main event Jey Usob!
13:15I said main event Jey Usob!
13:30you don't possibly expect me to stand here and watch this tell me

16:29lucha libre is all about culture and respect
16:33have we heard what you said to fennix and penta
16:35you gotta stop beating yourself up man
16:38look i know a year ago when you started this whole fiasco your mission was to make fun and disrespect
16:44lucha libre
16:45and yeah at one point i did want to knock your head off your shoulders
16:49fair enough
16:50but after watching your mask versus mask match

17:22because i'm pretty sure that you've said and done some things
17:26that you might regret
17:28way before you put that mask on
17:31just think about that

22:41Penta defending the Intercontinental Championship in a dream match
22:45against the Hall of Famer, the greatest luchador of all time.
23:27Rey Mysterio tonight, looking to win his third Intercontinental Championship
23:34and add to his Hall of Fame resume.
23:38The man who has won a Royal Rumble, three World Championships,
23:44three United States titles, five tag team titles.
23:49And last week, Corey, coming off a tag team victory
23:52with his buddy, Dragon Lee, over Ethan Page and Rusev.
23:56Rey Mysterio, the timeless luchador.
24:00Certainly a list of accolades of Miles Long.
24:03He neglected to mention WWE and AAA Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio
24:07and brand-new general manager of the hottest brand in sports entertainment,
24:13AAA.
24:14And a hell of a commentator, too.
24:15No doubt about it.
24:16I've got the mind, my P's, and Q's.
24:18Rey's kind of my boss now, so forgive me.
24:20Does JBL listen to him?
24:22No, absolutely not.
24:23I think JBL's already on probation, as a matter of fact.
24:25Well, Mysterio's the one who retired him, remember?
24:28Sure do, on the grandest stage of them all.
24:31Let's see what Rey has left.
24:34Is it enough to topple Tenta, the Intercontinental Champion?
25:04Here to tell us all about it, Alicia Taylor.
25:09The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Intercontinental Championship!
25:25Introducing first, the challenger, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 175 pounds,
25:39WWE Hall of Famer, WWE Hall of Famer, Rey Mundial!
25:52And his opponent, from E. Catapult, Mexico, weighing in at 87 kilos, he is the Intercontinental Champion!
26:08Champion, Penta!
26:19Referee Eddie Arango will be the official in this championship match tonight.
26:27Penta sent out an Instagram post over the weekend, saying that this is what dreams are made of.
26:33He called it the most meaningful match of his legendary career.
26:37An absolute honor to be in the ring with his hero, Rey Mysterio, tonight.
26:42For the first time ever in WWE, these two have only been a handful of times in Mexico over the
26:47years.
26:48Penta versus Rey for the Intercontinental title.
26:54Javier Mysterio, how do you take the championship from the spectacular Penta?
26:58Rey Mysterio simply needs to be Rey Mysterio.
27:01Be the best luchador of all time.
27:04As we can see, Rey can still push the pace.
27:07Rey has never lost a step, despite all the miles on his body throughout his career.
27:12I wish I could find the fountain of music like Rey Mysterio has.
27:15Penta now in position.
27:19Looking for a 6-1-9, and Penta launching right out to the apron.
27:24Penta now baseball slide.
27:25Oh!
27:26Springboard moves all.
27:28Mysterio on fire for the Intercontinental title.
27:42And Rey Mysterio just continues to impress year after year.
27:48It's better with age.
27:53What an atmosphere.
27:56What an atmosphere.
27:58And we know that Rey Mysterio feeds off of a live crowd like no one else.
28:03Oh!
28:04If Rey needs that little extra oomph, that extra step to get across the finish line,
28:08it sounds like these Parisian fans will give it to the Hall of Fame.
28:11Penta driving Mysterio into the ring post.
28:13And remember, Mysterio's got to pin or submit Penta to win the title.
28:18Champions advantage here tonight.
28:20And if you're Penta, you need to focus on not getting caught up in the moment.
28:24Yes, this is a dream match for Penta, but Penta needs to continue carrying on business as usual.
28:32Yeah, it's a great point.
28:33I mean, he's in there with an idol, one of his heroes in Rey Mysterio.
28:36But he's got to put all that behind him tonight and focus on keeping a championship that he's held for
28:41nearly 100 days.
28:42Oh!
28:44And Penta got a little too overconfident, and Rey made him pay.
28:47Penta wanted that vicious overhand pinotazo.
28:51Rey out of the way.
28:53Penta got nothing but ring post.
28:55And Mysterio back into the ring with a champion.
28:58He might have suffered a broken hand there.
29:03If you're Rey, how do you take the title away, Corey?
29:05Rey just needs to continue what he's begun to do already in this matchup.
29:09Let Penta burn himself out.
29:11Oh!
29:12Tilted world backbreaker by Penta.
29:14Cover now to retain kick out by Rey.
29:16And Rey has an incredibly high in-ring IQ.
29:19Rey will recognize any situation.
29:21If you can capitalize, Rey will.
29:23If not, Rey knows he just has to weather the storm and get on to the next moment.
29:27And you mentioned Penta not letting this moment get too big for him,
29:30but what else does Penta have to do to keep that title?
29:32Penta needs to turn this into a fight.
29:34Rey Mysterio technically speaking one of the greatest of all time,
29:37but Rey isn't known for planting his feet and throwing hands.
29:40Oh!
29:40Penta lives for that.
29:41Penta loves to feel the heat of battle.
29:46And Penta right to the midsection of Mysterio.
29:48Cover again.
29:50And again a kick out by Rey.
29:52And the magnitude of this matchup beyond the Intercontinental Championship can't be overstated.
29:56In Mexico, Penta is a superstar.
29:59A megastar.
30:00Rey Mysterio is a deity.
30:03Rey Mysterio is breathing rarefied air, not only in their native Mexico, but around the globe.
30:08And Penta wants to achieve that same accomplishment, that same level of glory that Rey has.
30:12And how do you do that?
30:13By beating Rey Mysterio.
30:14An opportunity tonight for Penta.
30:20And Penta hushed the crowd so they can hear that chop to Mysterio echoing through the Accor Arena in Paris.
30:39Well, the early niceties in this matchup have gone by the wayside.
30:43This is for the Intercontinental title.
30:45Penta defending against Rey Mysterio.
30:48Hard move by the champion to sweep the leg of the challenger, Rey Mysterio.
30:53Yeah, Penta's now cutting a promo on a drone.
30:55Well, we talked about this moments ago, Cole.
30:58This is what Penta lives for.
30:59The man lives to fight.
31:00Now he feels like he's in a fight.
31:02The fact that he's in the ring with one of the greatest luchadores of all time is now irrelevant.
31:06It's somebody standing in the way of Penta keeping what's his.
31:09Oh, and a kick right into the face of Rey.
31:11Rey stunned.
31:12And a step up in Zigguri by Penta.
31:14Takes Rey out.
31:16And now into the corner.
31:18And Penta right to the midsection.
31:22Driving all the wind out of Rey Mysterio's body.
31:25Rey looking for respite on the outside.
31:27He didn't want to be out there, though.
31:28Penta can fly.
31:30Penta, tope, con, hilo!
31:33Can I do that okay?
31:34Getting there.
31:37And again, champion's advantage in this matchup tonight.
31:40Rey's got to pin or submit the champion.
31:42The Intercontinental champion throwing caution to the wind.
31:45The personification of his ethos.
31:48Cero miedo.
31:49Zero fear.
31:51One of the reasons he's been the Intercontinental champion for nearly 100 days.
31:56Do you hear this?
31:58We are in Paris, France.
32:00And the entire arena is chanting, Lucha Libre.
32:06And Penta now with Mysterio in trouble, center of the ring.
32:12And as if either of these men needed added motivation to hear that sort of adulation for their culture on
32:18a global scale means the world to both of these athletes.
32:20Penta was calling for the Mexican Destroyer.
32:22Rey runs into the backstabber.
32:26Collapses to the ring.
32:27Is it enough for Penta to retain in a kickout?
32:30I don't agree with a lot of things that all ego Ethan Page says.
32:34Let's take another look.
32:36As Penta able to go up and over Mysterio to deliver the backstabber but still unable to put the Hall
32:42of Famer away.
32:42But I do agree with what Page says about the Intercontinental Championship.
32:45This has been the workman's title for many, many years here at WWE.
32:49It's often the precursor to becoming a world champion at this level.
32:54Over a dozen Hall of Famers have held the title in their careers.
32:58It's so important, this championship, in the lineage of WWE.
33:01Well, think of how many people are hunting Penta as we speak.
33:04We've got Rey Mysterio.
33:05Oh, wow.
33:06In the ring who may take the title here.
33:09For the championship.
33:09Is it enough?
33:10Penta kicks it two and a half.
33:13Ethan Page, Rusev, Javon Evans.
33:16I mean, everybody wants a shot at Penta.
33:18But Rey Mysterio reminding the world that he is timeless.
33:23Turning that into a brutal tornado DDT.
33:27Rey Mysterio, who's had an incredible career in the Hall of Fame a couple of years ago.
33:32And he's still going.
33:34Sunset flip looking for a powerbomb.
33:36Penta able to hang on to the second rope.
33:38And now Penta with a kick intercepted by Rey.
33:41Drops him on his spine of the apron.
33:44Look at Rey, look at it.
33:45Dialing up.
33:46Yeah, 619.
33:47A unique one there on Orthodox.
33:51Listen to this place.
33:54Reminds me of a certain phenomenal one.
33:56Oh!
33:57Oh!
33:58Sunset flip powerbomb into the barricade.
34:01Is it going to be Ray Knight?
34:03Oh!
34:05Oh!
34:16You can see in Rey's eyes, Cole, his confidence beginning to build.
34:24Rey can feel it.
34:26He is on the precipice of another Intercontinental Championship.
34:29And had to break the count there.
34:30Countout does not help Rey in this matchup.
34:33Again, he's got to pin or submit the champion.
34:34You think Rey's starting to feel it now.
34:37Feeding off the energy of this crowd here in Paris.
34:40No doubt about it.
34:41Penta into the steps.
34:43Rey needs to keep his foot on the gas pedal at this juncture.
34:46He's got the Intercontinental Champion reeling.
34:54It isn't often that you see Penta not being the fan favorite in a matchup.
35:01Mysterio has captivated this crowd here tonight.
35:04Captivated the world.
35:05And I think that goes back to what we mentioned a few moments ago.
35:08The fact that Penta is a megastar.
35:10A true WWE superstar around the globe.
35:13But Rey Mysterio just on a different level altogether.
35:16Rey Mysterio is god tier.
35:18Here, around the world.
35:20Not just in Mexico or the United States.
35:21As is the WWE fans here in Paris.
35:25And look at...
35:26Wow!
35:26Penta showing off now with that press of Mysterio.
35:29And now trooping Rey.
35:31Ribs first.
35:32Into the apron.
35:34Rey Mysterio who relies so much on his stamina.
35:37Knocked the wind out of your lungs with a move like that.
35:41Well, and I think Penta doing that this deep into a matchup is sort of a wake-up call for
35:45Rey.
35:45And sort of Penta reminding himself, I do have advantages I can lean on.
35:48I do have a strength advantage.
35:50I should use it more often.
35:51Indeed.
35:51He's much bigger than Mysterio.
35:53Crawl now into the cover for the champ.
35:54Is it enough to retain?
35:55Hook both legs that time.
35:57And Rey still kicked out.
35:58But the one thing we've learned about Rey, of course, we say this all the time.
36:01He's the biggest little man in the history of WWE.
36:05Always the underdog.
36:06But more times than not, a champion.
36:12I mean, I tell you, Corey, it's been the pleasure of my career to be able to call so much
36:17of Rey's career over the years.
36:19Never forget 2006.
36:20The year he won the Royal Rumble and would go on to WrestleMania to win his first world championship and
36:26one of the biggest upsets in history.
36:34And again, Penta goes low.
36:37Smart strategy.
36:38Penta fully aware that Rey does have an extensive history of knee injuries.
36:42Yep, exactly.
36:44In fact, Rey and I were talking about surgeries and other developments over the last couple of years to keep
36:51those knees in tip-top shape.
36:58Uh-oh, uh-oh.
36:59Looking for a Penta driver, maybe.
37:07Penta's got Rey caught middle of the ring.
37:09It looked like he was going for a Penta driver moments ago.
37:11That's exactly what the Intercontinental Champion has in mind.
37:14But Rey Mysterio has studied his opposition as he...
37:17Super kick under the chin of Rey.
37:19And just like that, Penta now looking to retain the championship.
37:24There it is!
37:25The Penta driver!
37:26One, two, three, three, four.
37:28Rey kicks out at two.
37:30Again, the resilience of Rey Mysterio.
37:35Take another look at the Intercontinental Champion delivering the Penta driver, Rey.
37:41Trapped beneath Penta.
37:44But Mysterio, as he somehow always seems to do, finds the will to soldier on.
37:51And Penta, again, calling for the Mexican Destroyer.
37:54Rey again intercepts.
37:58Reversal.
37:58Mysterio into the corner off the second rope.
38:00Lands on the shoulders.
38:01Oh!
38:02Oh, Penta, my goodness!
38:03He's in Rana!
38:04Rey landed right on the...
38:05I don't know who got the worst of that exchange.
38:07Rey landed right on the top of his head!
38:09But he's okay!
38:11Damn it, Rey!
38:136-1-9!
38:15Mysterio dropping the dive!
38:17He's gonna do it!
38:18Rey's gonna win it!
38:19Rey's gonna win it!
38:20Penta kicked out at two!
38:25Unbelievable!
38:27A 6-1-9!
38:29I gotta believe Rey at least rung his own bell.
38:32Delivering the Poison Rana.
38:33That half of a second, if that hesitation from Mysterio made all the difference.
38:39I'm still speechless after the Poison Rana.
38:43It was tough to tell which Luchador had the worst landing.
38:47But here they are!
38:48This is what the Intercontinental Championship means!
38:54The fans are chanting, this is awesome!
38:58In AAA, we say, esto es, Lucha!
39:01This is wrestling!
39:02Oh, and a big super kick by Penta to Mysterio!
39:05I almost knocked his head off.
39:07Looking for a Penta driver yet again.
39:08This time, Mysterio rolls through.
39:10Puts Penta in position.
39:13Another 6-1-9!
39:15Is this Rey's moment?
39:17Rey with an opportunity to win a third Intercontinental title!
39:21Top rope for Rey!
39:23Oh, and Penta got the knees up!
39:26Penta got the knees up!
39:28A desperation move by the champion, but understandably so!
39:33There it is!
39:33Mexican Destroyer!
39:36Rey may be out after that landing.
39:39Penta retains in a classic!
39:43Here is your winner, and still, the Intercontinental Champion, Penta!
39:53What a match, Corey!
39:55No doubt about it.
39:57Both Luchadores bringing their absolute best, and then some tonight.
40:01And just when it seemed as though Rey Mysterio was closing in on another Intercontinental Championship reign,
40:08Penta got the knees up, delivered the Mexican Destroyer to what we believe is an already weakened neck of Mysterio,
40:16and still Intercontinental Champion, but what a fight!
40:23Corey, we use the term dream match a lot.
40:27Tonight, there is no doubt about it.
40:29Oh, they even Page and Rusev!
40:32Page and Rusev assaulting Pendant Mysterio after that hellacious match!
40:38Now, this is uncalled for.
40:39We just witnessed an instant classic unfold.
40:43Both Page and Rusev want to be Intercontinental Champion, but this is inexcusable.
40:47There's no need for this.
40:48As big of a fan as I am...
40:50Oh, Mosh got kicked!
40:51...of Ethan Page and Rusev.
40:54This is uncalled for.
40:56This is disrespectful.
40:58And now Rusev with Rey Mysterio, middle of the ring, nowhere to go.
41:02Looking for that accolade.
41:04Continuing to punish.
41:07My goodness!
41:10Rey Mysterio's protege.
41:13The man considered the future of Lucha Libre.
41:16Dragon Lee has hit the scene.
41:18The man who flies with fire.
41:20Dragon Lee.
41:22But Rusev will try to grab Lee from behind.
41:27And Dragon Lee unloading on Rusev.
41:30Oh, but Ethan Page from behind.
41:34Dragon Lee and Fuego right now.
41:38And Dragon Lee going to send Page over the top rope to the floor.
41:45Rusev knocked down.
41:48And Dragon Lee is holding the ring.
41:51Wanting to spread his wings.
41:53But Ethan Page not going to allow it to happen.
41:56And now Dragon Lee into the timekeeper's area.
42:02And the problem now is Penta and Mysterio are defenseless.
42:08This is uncalled for.
42:11Rusev and Ethan Page, you're crossing the line.
42:14Not this, Rusev.
42:14Not this.
42:15Come on.
42:16No.
42:17Just rip the mask off Mysterio.
42:20What the hell, Rusev.
42:21What the hell, Rusev?
42:22This is respect shown by Rusev.
42:24Complete and utter disrespect by these two animals.
42:32Chad Gable.
42:34Chad Gable.
42:35Hell yes.
42:36Gable rushing to the ring.
42:39Chad Gable with a German suplex to Ethan Page.
42:43Gable, who's learned to respect Lucha Libre, who understands what it's like to lose the mask.
42:50And Gable making Rusev and Page pay.
43:04Chad Gable, as emotional as we've seen him in a long, long time.
43:10And with the ankle lock locked in, Rusev dragging Page to safety.
43:23And again, coming to the aid of Rey Mysterio, who had his mask ripped off by Rusev.
43:31Oh, and there's that humiliation Mike Gable.
43:59I'll tell you, Corey, and you know this better than anyone, Chad Gable has come a long, long way.
44:07We have said for years that Chad Gable may be the best professional wrestler in the business.
44:14And after the journey Gable has endured over the last year plus,
44:18Chad Gable belongs in the ring with the best of the best.
44:22Sometimes you just have to find yourself.
