00:00Continental Champion Dirty, Dominic Mysterio.
00:03Dominic Mysterio and Gunther isn't ready for tonight, but you know who is?
00:07The Young OG.
00:08Now, I'm also ready to pull up to Elimination Chamber and get the dub over there.
00:11And it may have been WrestleMania.
00:13Once I do that, everybody's gonna know, especially at WrestleMania.
00:16And everybody's gonna say it with me, that that boy is bouncy.
00:22After I win tonight, I will go ahead and handle business at Elimination Chamber.
00:27And I will proceed to collect more gold for the Judgment Day at WrestleMania.
00:34I killed the careers of many of WWE's greatest of all time.
00:39But that's not enough for me.
00:48Yo, boy, is bouncy.
00:53Yo, boy, is bouncy.
01:00Let's go!
01:02Good.
01:02You're welcome.
01:03You're welcome, you're welcome.
01:06Too much it's an hour, but you're welcome.
01:09Let's get to the show on your show.
01:12Let's get to the show on your show.
01:13Come on, go.
01:14The following is the men's Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
01:22Introducing first from Greensboro, North Carolina,
01:27working at Β£195, Shabon Hemming.
01:36Corey, I still cannot get out of my mind the OG cutter
01:40that this young man delivered last week on Monday Night Raw.
01:43One of the most spectacular things I've ever witnessed.
01:46Once upon a time, I had a tag partner.
01:48They said gravity forgot.
01:49I don't know that Javon Evans knew gravity existed in the first place.
01:53This young man is absolutely breathtaking.
01:56And let's take a look at what happened.
01:58I still don't know how he pulled this off.
02:00Well, Bravo Americano had designs on delivering a splash
02:03to El Grande Americano, who was in the center of the ring.
02:06You won't see it because the action is about ten feet above it.
02:10In the sky, mid-air OG cutter.
02:14One of the most spectacular maneuvers I have ever seen executed in my life.
02:19How do you even time that?
02:21I mean, that is insanity.
02:23Like anti-aircraft missiles.
02:39We'll see how the death-defying athleticism of the young OG serves him tonight in this triple threat.
02:46It sounds like Memphis is ready to get bouncy.
02:57What an opportunity for Javon Evans to qualify for his first chamber match here tonight.
03:03But here's one of the men who stands in his way.
03:07We're just kinda, let's go...
03:09I'm good.
03:13Let's go.
03:14Let's go.
03:15Welcome.
03:15Let's go.
03:20Here we go.
03:26Let's go.
03:27Let's go.
03:31When we go.
03:33In Austria, weighing in for 250 pounds, the ring killer, Goulter.
03:44The career killer, Gunther.
03:48He'll join Javon Evans and Dominic Mysterio.
03:53Triple threat match to determine who heads to the chamber a week from Saturday.
03:56It's next.
04:18The man who has not been pinned since SummerSlam, early last August.
04:26The man who has retired, Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles.
04:35It's almost like Gunther's something of a vampire.
04:38He kills these careers and absorbs their essence and continues to grow stronger, more dominant, night after night after night.
04:46You know, Gunther's never been in the elimination chamber.
04:50I'm just thinking about how dangerous this man will be inside that structure if he wins tonight.
04:58Gunther is absolutely ruthless.
05:01It's not about moments and memories for the ring general.
05:04It's about wins, championships, and money.
05:07Period.
05:16One of the most frightening individuals.
05:19Believe me, I've been scared by this man on a number of occasions.
05:30You better mind your tongue, Michael Cole, because I'm not getting beat up and choked out by this man like
05:35your last friend.
05:35Well, I'll tell you, I have nothing to say negative about this man after what he's accomplished over the past
05:42few months.
05:43Listen, you might not like the way he goes about things.
05:46You might not like the way he carries himself after these wins.
05:48But there's no denying the people that he has retired here in WWE.
05:53Cole, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you.
05:55As somebody who has watched this business my entire life, for me, Gunther is the best professional wrestler on the
06:03planet Earth.
06:04I agree with you, 100%.
06:06We talk all the time about how we enjoy calling this man's matches.
06:31All the opponent representing the Judgment Day.
06:38He is the AAA Mega and Intercontinental Champion, Gordy, Dominic Mysterio.
06:52Corey, it's been an eventful night for Dom.
06:55He translated an interview between Liv and Stephanie.
06:58He now knows that he has a number one contender in Penta for his Intercontinental title.
07:08The AAA Mega Champion, Dirty Dominic Mysterio, now part as a playable character of WWE 2K26.
07:15What an honor to see the king of the luchadors represented in digital form.
07:21Dirty Dom in 2K26.
07:24The only thing better, seeing it live and in living color.
07:27Ever, El Masucio de los Sucios, the dirtiest of the dirty, the double champion.
07:34Been quite the night for Dominic.
07:36We saw him translate for Liv Morgan in that sit-down interview with Stephanie Vicarra earlier tonight,
07:42which is available now, translated on WWE's social media website.
07:45We now know that Dominic Mysterio will face Penta sometime down the road for the Intercontinental title.
07:50Well, Dirty Dom, understandably, has a great deal on his shoulders tonight.
07:54He's worried about the mental well-being of his wearita.
07:57He's worried about entering the elimination chamber.
08:00He's worried about Finn Balor.
08:02Worried about not having backup tonight.
08:06Well, if anybody can overcome that sort of adversity, it's the king of the luchadors.
08:11Let's not forget, this is Dominic's first match in a few months,
08:15because he was out with a shoulder injury.
08:17So, going to be interesting to see how Dominic responds.
08:19He's had some run-ins with Gunther in the past.
08:23Triple threat rules.
08:24No count-out.
08:25No disqualification.
08:26First man to gain pink ball or submission.
08:28We'll join Randy Orton, L.A. Knight, and Cody Rhodes
08:32as part of the six-man field for the elimination chamber.
08:40And we are underway.
08:41Javon Evans, who's had quite the first few months on the Monday Night Raw roster.
08:45He was the Ironman of the Rumble match this year, lasting over 40 minutes.
08:49Now would look to qualify for his first chamber.
08:53I love the youthful indiscretion of Javon Evans.
08:57This young man feels like he's playing with house money night after night after night,
09:01and all Javon Evans does is make incredible moments lately.
09:06And now Dirty Dom says, let me take advantage.
09:10Yeah, and then he runs away from Gunther.
09:11Smart, though.
09:12I will agree with Dom on that point.
09:15I'm helping you out.
09:17I'm helping you out.
09:23Now Javon Evans taking advantage.
09:26You know what just dawned on me, Cole?
09:28If Dom wins tonight, and then heads to the chamber and wins,
09:33it goes to WrestleMania.
09:35Dirty Dom could be a triple champion.
09:37And now look at this Boston Crab.
09:40Applied to Javon Evans and a chop by Dominic Mysterio.
09:43I'm not sure that was wise.
09:45But yeah, I get your point.
09:46Because if Dom wins the chamber, he takes on Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
09:51Lofty goals, but possible.
09:55Oh!
09:57That wasn't Dom's best decision.
09:59He just collapsed his chest.
10:01Which was collapsed to begin with.
10:03And now Javon Evans fighting back into this.
10:06Nice drop kick by Evans.
10:08Evans has got to keep the pace quickened here against Gunther.
10:12I agree with you.
10:14Of the three individuals in the ring, Javon Evans certainly has the speed advantage.
10:17But don't discount what Dirty Dom's came for.
10:20Dom can push the pace when needed.
10:22Hence, or due to his Lucha Libre background.
10:26And now Javon Evans with Arana sending Dominic toward the corner.
10:31Young man, a stud.
10:33He can't miss.
10:34He'll be a former champ.
10:35He'll be a champion at some point in his career.
10:38And Evans now.
10:40Oh, goodness!
10:41Trying to get bouncy and paid for it with that chop.
10:45Oh, now Dom ripped over the top to the floor by the ring general.
10:48And now Gunther stalking Dominic Mysterio.
10:54And sending Dominic into the barricade.
10:58Mysterio hitting hard.
11:03Welcome back, Dom.
11:06Not quite sure this is how he wanted his first match in a few months to go.
11:13And now Dominic again whipped into the barricade.
11:18Gunther is just a cool man.
11:21Merciless.
11:24It's never personal, though.
11:25Gunther just does this.
11:27This is what he does.
11:28This is why he's so effective.
11:29Look out!
11:30Good God!
11:30Javon Evans flying over the top rope and driving Gunther into the timekeeper's area.
11:39Unbelievable!
11:44Just look on in awe.
11:54I am still amazed that with that young man, Javon Evans is able to accomplish however he may have hurt
11:58himself as well in the process.
12:00High risk maneuver appeared to pay off at least for the moment.
12:04But to your point, Javon's still feeling the effects.
12:06And it's Dirty Dom who is first back to his feet.
12:13Now he has that hammer that's used to ring the bell.
12:16We've seen him use this hammer in the past.
12:19Remember, no disqualification.
12:21So he can do whatever he wants with it tonight, I guess.
12:30Now, Javon Evans delivers a kick to Mysterio.
12:36And one to Gunther as well.
12:39This is where Javon's got to take advantage.
12:41Gunther out of the equation.
12:43Turn your attention to Dominic.
12:44Exactly.
12:45It's going to be a small window.
12:46You've got to try to capitalize while you can.
12:49But Dirty Dom flattens the young OG.
12:53Yeah, Dirty Dom wise behind his years.
12:57And Dominic Mysterio dragging Javon Evans.
13:00And a big stomp to the midsection.
13:02Double champion Dominic Mysterio.
13:20Dominic allowing the fans to get to him a bit there.
13:23No, I believe Dom's just tired of hearing Chad Patton yell at him.
13:28You grow up in a household.
13:29You've got Ray yelling at you all the time.
13:31I mean, there's a lot to unpack here.
13:33We don't have time.
13:34But you've got to understand where Dom's coming from.
13:36I don't believe that actually happened.
13:39Ray was a wonderful father.
13:41Yeah, to Dom's sister.
13:45And now Gunther.
13:46Oh!
13:47Rends into a kick from Mysterio as well.
13:50I didn't say anything.
13:53In fact, I'm putting you over, Gunther.
13:58Dirty Dom with an Irish whip into the buckle.
14:02Takes the young OG down.
14:05Cover.
14:05Looking to advance to the chamber.
14:08Evans kicks out.
14:19Either Dominic Mysterio, Javon Evans, or Gunther will join Randy Orton, L.A. Knight, and
14:24Cody Rhodes is part of the six-man field for the Elimination Chamber match a week from
14:29Saturday.
14:30And here we see during the break, Dirty Dom taking a page out of the book of the man who
14:34raised him, or at least should have.
14:36The great Eddie Guerrero taking the hammer for the ring bell.
14:40Didn't use it yet.
14:41But that could come into play.
14:43Dominic has used that hammer in the past.
14:45I'm not in this match.
14:46Well, to success.
14:48Sure.
14:48But think about it again.
14:50The mega champion.
14:51The intercontinental champion.
14:53And with a couple of wins, Dom could be a triple champion.
14:56You know the only triple champions we've had in WWE have been?
14:59Kurt Angle.
15:00Triple H.
15:02John Cena.
15:03And Eddie Guerrero.
15:05That is quite the field, as you saw the hammer moments ago, that was placed on the steps
15:09by Dominic Mysterio.
15:11And Dominic trying to take advantage of the fact that Gunther has been taken out of this
15:15match momentarily.
15:16And he's turned this into a one-on-one.
15:18And now Dominic looking for a 6-1-9.
15:21And Gunther now with a sleeper.
15:23Gunther with a sleeper applied to Mysterio.
15:26Javon again drops Gunther to the apron.
15:30It's another opportunity for both Dom and Evans to make something happen.
15:35Big right hand floors the double champ.
15:38And now the adrenaline pulsing through the young OG.
15:42And into the corner.
15:43Delivers a shot to Dominic.
15:49Wow!
15:51What the...
15:52Incredible!
15:54And now Mysterio...
15:57Set packet.
15:59Cover!
16:01Now Gunther with a sleeper now at Evans!
16:03And Gunther just wisely waiting for his opportunity to strike.
16:09Evans able to fight out for the moment.
16:11Looking for the super kick.
16:13And again, Javon Evans has had Gunther out of sorts in this match.
16:18Oh!
16:18Had him out of sorts.
16:19That chop.
16:21Dropping Evans.
16:22Like being hit in the chest with a frying pan.
16:24Like a cast iron skillet.
16:26Look at the power of the career killer!
16:28Oh!
16:29And that power bomb right on the back of Evans.
16:35And now...
16:36One...
16:37Oh!
16:37Javon Evans turned it around!
16:39Into the cover!
16:40Will he pull it off?
16:40And a kick out!
16:42And Gunther...
16:43Oh my goodness!
16:44Oh my!
16:45He just rearranged the facial features of Javon Evans.
16:48And now Gunther's gonna get what he wants.
16:50I believe that power bomb stacks up Evans to go to Chicago.
16:55And a kick out by Javon.
17:00Listen to the impact...
17:04Of Gunther nearly putting Evans through the middle of the ring.
17:09It's almost miraculous that Javon was able to survive.
17:16But notice how cool and how calm the ring general is.
17:20This is just another day at the office for Gunther.
17:24Two opponents.
17:25No problem.
17:26And now the ring general is taking over.
17:29Conishing both Mysterio and Evans.
17:38It's almost like he's having fun.
17:43I'm not sure you want to go chop to chop with Gunther, Javon.
17:55Took Gunther a bit to get going.
17:57But now he's in total domination.
18:01Once the train has left the station.
18:03Good luck stopping it.
18:06Javon doing his best to try though.
18:09Oh!
18:09Again drops Evans to his knees.
18:15Evans with a kick intercepted the clothesline.
18:18Now a kick right to the back of the neck.
18:20The ring general is down.
18:22Here comes Dom back into the fray.
18:25And the red dog by Evans finds the mark.
18:28Is it enough to put Dominic away?
18:32No, Gunther...
18:36Oh!
18:37Oh, man!
18:38Did you hear that?
18:39I felt it.
18:41Off the German.
18:41Lands on his feet though.
18:42Does Evans?
18:43Tremendous balance from Evans.
18:45Down goes Gunther.
18:47By Isaku knee.
18:49One, two, three.
18:50Dominic breaks it up.
18:54Evans caught the ring general flush on the chin with that knee.
19:00And now all three men are down.
19:02Critical moment in this matchup.
19:03One of these men heads to Chicago.
19:05An opportunity to be in the elimination chamber where the winner will go on to WrestleMania to face WWE champion
19:11Drew McIntyre.
19:12And now Dominic.
19:14Back to his feet.
19:14Up to the top rope.
19:16Mysterio.
19:16Frog splash.
19:17Gunther got his knees up.
19:20Dom tried his best to stop his momentum before impact with the knees but to no avail.
19:25Big right hand.
19:26And Javon just beat Gunther to the punch.
19:28Yeah, stunning.
19:28Gunther now.
19:29Springboard.
19:30Wow!
19:30Crossbody from the top rope.
19:34Could this be Javon Evans' moment?
19:38Memphis is starting to believe.
19:42Going up to the top rope.
19:43Maybe looking for an OG cutter.
19:45But Gunther able to cut him off.
19:47Oh, no.
19:48Oh, no.
19:49This does not end well for Evans.
19:51Yeah, desperation time here for Evans as he finally is able to knock Gunther out of the way.
19:57Off the top rope.
19:59Lands on his feet.
20:00Oh, may have hurt his knee.
20:01And now, right into the sweeper hole.
20:03Oh, jawbreaker by Evans.
20:05Great counter.
20:07Evans, top rope.
20:09Oh!
20:10Got caught.
20:11Went for the OG cutter.
20:12Got intercepted into a sweeper.
20:14Gunther with a sweeper.
20:15Rolls his body on top of Evans.
20:17Now Dominic with a frog splash from the top rope.
20:21It's almost like Gunther saw Dom coming.
20:23Was trying to finish the job before impact.
20:26But it didn't work out that way.
20:31Oh, baby.
20:32Dom went for the 6-1-9.
20:34And he got blasted.
20:40And what about that counter Gunther on the OG cutter?
20:44Turning it into a sleeper.
20:46Gunther is a master technician.
20:49And now Dominic just grabbed that hammer.
20:50I don't know if Gunther's aware.
20:53You're right.
20:53The ring bell hammer in the left hand of the king of the luchadores.
21:03And now sleeper applied yet again.
21:06Javon Evans into a sleeper of his own on Gunther.
21:09Evans with a sleeper now.
21:11Will Gunther tap?
21:13No, he turns it around.
21:17Now big kick by Gunther to Dominic.
21:21And now Gunther going to take the fight outside the ring.
21:29And now Gunther going to...
21:34Gunther's got the hammer.
21:37What the hell?
21:38Dragon Lee has the ring.
