[SOUND] Raw Tag Team titles on the little bit of respect there.
>> Healthy respect between a couple of top tier athletes.
>> And remember this is what RK-Bro wanted.
This is why they created the tournament in the first place to see who wanted
it bad enough.
Who could own a chance to unseat their position as, [INAUDIBLE]
>> And the story of the tournament for
The Street Profits- >> Whoa, face amigos a little bit.
>> Montez Ford all fired up right now with good reason realizing what's at stake tag
is made here comes, [INAUDIBLE] >> And this is what I'm talking about.
The chemistry of The Street Profits all point throughout the entire tournament.
>> And look at the confidence of Montez Ford into the cover.
>> Cover.
>> Right there.
>> On top looking for the cover,
early with that explosiveness of Montez Ford of everybody in the RK prominent.
This might be the Tag Team that's hardest to prepare for.
>> Right now a little survey, [CROSSTALK] >> And
realizes some situations require a Viper.
>> We're going to tweak the landscape a little bit now with Randy Orton.
[APPLAUSE] >> And that's the strength of RK-Bro was
that little and Randy Orton very different stylistically get ready for one,
you think you haven't figured out and boom, the script changes immediately.
>> Right now Angelo Dawkins with the power advantage nice side headlock applied.
>> RKO, RKO.
>> To the beat zone straight out and you gotta go over him around-
>> Wearing him down a little bit,
that appears to be the strategy right now.
>> Or in that case through him launching easy.
>> [LAUGH] >> Four kids now,
some mind games towards the Viper, Montez Ford too.
We call that poking the bear gentleman.
Kicking the snake- >> I like to it, I like it.
This is what The Street Profits have to do, this confident, this swag as you
refer to Jimmy is what it takes to be successful Tag Team Champions in WWE.
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have been to the top of the mountain.
Tonight they are merely one step away.
>> Muhammad Ali said it, before I was the greatest I said it and I believed it.
>> That's all you gotta do to be a successful challenger.
You wanna take the title?
Believe you're the champion.
>> Randy now just a little warning shot for Angelo Dawkins, just that quick.
>> The RKO can't strike.
>> That's a quick way to purchase real estate in the mind of your opponent.
>> RKO on this last week, we thought was virtually impossible.
>> Well, here comes a tag, Montez Ford with style.
>> Think you're an athlete, keep up with this guy.
>> Montez Ford doing whatever his body is doing right now.
>> I think I just dropped my back watching him.
>> That's another guy beat you in the dance battle.
That's another one, Byron.
Add that to the list scoring.
>> A mark can be a, [CROSSTALK] >> A few in my day.
>> And Randy Orton at this point not entirely sure what he just witnessed for
months in his sport.
>> And the mind games on both sides.
This is something we didn't expect.
>> You always expect the mind games when you're dealing with Randy Orton.
If you can perform them better than the sure-fire first ballot Hall of Famer but
right now Montez Ford in control.
>> We talked about what Randy Orton has given to Riddle, the edge,
the aggressiveness.
>> But what has Riddle given Into Randy Orton?
Some of that excitement, right?
Some of that happiness.
You see he's loosing up a bit over the last few months and weeks.
>> [LAUGH] I like that.
>> And Orton realize the officials view is obstructed by Montez Ford bending
the rules a little bit.
>> In little shot he doesn't expect.
The new I could argue more dangerous Randy Orton in point drop kick.
>> To the cover shoulders down.
Kicked out by Montez Ford.
[NOISE] >> [INAUDIBLE]
Natural moves from both of these teams.
>> Or just taking his time picking his spot tag made.
Here comes Riddle.
>> [NOISE] >> You're about to see some gentle
offence here.
>> Got to the cover.
>> [INAUDIBLE] To the cover.
>> Look in the leg but not quite enough.
>> [NOISE] >> Talking about the distraction at
the right time giving Montez Ford a little bit of a breather,
which right now I think he needs.
>> [INAUDIBLE] From the suplex nice tack >> Dawkins,
is overpowering Riddle into the buckle.
Triple H shoved him right into the turnbuckle.
>> So deadly is Riddle, those tie kicks once they get going.
>> On his little rock during the quarter.
Wait a minute, able to get out of the way.
The dog has done his homework.
Beautiful reversal.
>> And then a silencer from Dawkins.
[NOISE] >> Dawkins showing us a lot of power,
a lot of aggression so far.
>> This is the Raw Tag Team Championship Matchup RK-Bro, Riddle and
Randy Orton versus The Street Profits, Ford and Dawkins.
We are joined at ringside by Migos the hottest group in the world right now.
Beautiful athleticism into the cover by Ford, kick out right before three.
[INAUDIBLE] The athleticism to creativity of Montez Ford.
>> What a night it has been thus far day one the first premiere live event of 2022.
As we found out earlier tonight,
Roman Reigns unable to compete contracted COVID-19.
The Beast Brock Lesnar has been inserted into the WWE Championship
main event which is now a fatal five way.
It simply doesn't get much bigger than this guys.
>> The ultimate X Factor in a- >> Wow!
>> A match that already didn't favor the champion.
>> Montez Ford now beginning to get on Riddle.
Look at this beautiful splash right to the cover.
Randy Orton just in time.
>> It seemed word by the reigning Tag Team Champions.
Speaks to the concern Randy Orton's gotta have right now for
the shape that Riddle's in.
>> There's been one weakness to Rk-Bro.
They have always been on the same page at the same time.
It's been a well oiled machine since coming into raw cover.
Kick out just in time you see rental starting to wear down.
>> And The Street Profits had done an excellent job at this juncture of cutting
the ring in half.
>> Isolating Riddle from Randy Orton.
He's got a long way to go and a lot of fight left him attack apparently.
>> Nice single leg would step over right to the ground and pound top position.
>> It is not pretty but it's effective.
>> But the cover again.
All of those kick outs by the way, every time you can add one of those pins,
you get all that weight off, it is incredibly fatiguing.
You can see it right now in Riddle's face.
>> Now without question.
I mean, we're seeing a very sound strategy on display by the challengers.
>> [NOISE] >> Splash in
the corner from Angelo Dawkins.
>> We talk a lot about Montez Ford in the height, he's able to get Angelo Dawkins
can jump about four or five feet from a standing position, it's incredible.
>> Montez Ford, you talk about otherworldly athleticism.
Simply the only way to describe what Montez is capable of.
>> You know what? He's funny with a chip on his
shoulder tonight.
Am I wrong?
[INAUDIBLE] Edge to Montez Ford.
>> Or is it more of an aggressive side for both Montez Ford and Angela Dawkins?
>> Begs the question.
Could this have something to do with the current allegiance of Migos?
>> I think so, cover.
Quick kick out by Riddle then.
>> He's desperate for a tag right now.
>> I think that's part of it, I think also part of it is the fact that again,
we talked about how rare these opportunities are the challenge for
the Raw Tag Team titles.
>> And Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins scratched and
clawed their way into this opportunity.
Beautiful takedown by Dawkins, Riddle kicks out.
Or could have gone for the tag there, ho.
>> The overhead kick down goes Dawkins.
>> Right to the, Dawkins.
>> The path is clear for Riddle and he can make the tag to Orton.
>> He needs to get there and get there quickly.
>> This mere inches away.
>> Here comes the Apex Predator.
>> Tags made on both sides.
>> This is not good for Montez Ford.
>> Randy Orton completely taken over- >> Snapped Body Slam.
>> Amigos controlling it.
>> Dawkins spiked.
>> The Street Profits wanna be anywhere but
in the rain right now with Randy Orton.
Fortunately they're not.
Both of them launched outside.
>> Uh-oh, no.
>> I think Randy Orton is about to double his form.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Looking at Migos.
>> And The Viper pull this off.
Does Orton have the power?
He does.
My goodness.
>> Laying out The Streets Profits face first double DDT.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> I think Randy Orton is poised and
ready to put this thing to bed.
>> The Viper is coiled, ready to strike.
>> On that to that place and only he knows.
>> Montez Ford stumbling back to his feet.
>> Janitor on his back.
Right reverse lucky RKO let's have a look at that.
>> Orton is down.
Here comes Riddle straight into the arms of Angelo Dawkins.
>> [NOISE] >> Dawkins is going up and
over to the outside.
Great athleticism by the big man.
>> [NOISE] >> [INAUDIBLE] Can they keep it as
a beautiful step up knee?
>> Riddle not wasting any time.
>> On the apron now.
RK finds the mark.
>> Remember Montez Ford the legal man, look at that.
>> Both men down on the outside.
Montez Ford and Randy Orton, the legal competitors.
>> Shoulder first goes Orton.
>> The veteran is going at it with Montez Ford.
>> Smart move by Montez Ford, we know Randy Orton' s got a well documented
history of shoulder- >> Wait a second, wait a second.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Taking it out RK-Bro is Montez Ford.
>> It all out on the table.
Montez Ford knows that's got to be the strategy.
Take a look at these incredible ups by Ford.
Taking it off Riddle and Orton.
>> Maximum risk for maximum reward.
That's the style of Montez Ford right now that cost him.
>> All right, right hand from Orton.
Montez Ford all out of sorts on the top turnbuckle not where
you wanna be when you're dealing with the Apex Predator.
>> When I say something about maximum risk, is his maximum risk right now for
Montez Ford.
>> Or doing his best to maintain a grasp on the top turnbuckle strut.
>> He needs to.
>> Hard shots there, trying to create some separation, Orton barely hanging on.
>> Headbutting his way out.
>> Montez Ford, you are cleared for take off.
>> Nobody home.
Here comes Riddle, look at that flying RKO.
>> Holy moly. >> Unbelievable teamwork to the cover.
>> One, two, three.
>> The champions, [SOUND] retain.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
>> Here are your winner and
still the Raw Tag Team Champions, RK-Bro.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Offset take off wave all in joined us
you got the hottest group in the world Migos in the house but
tonight it was RK-Bro doing the straightening.
>> Maybe Mingos was a factor.
They had some energy in there tonight.
>> Let's hit whatever the fact that was, Randy Orton just proved once again
why they are on top of the World Tag Team Match.
>> I wanna take a look at some of these replays, I can barely see my monitors with
all the, [CROSSTALK] >> Right side folks.

>> What a blattle thumbs up to the The Street Profits who beought their A game
