Now, Elias, I can see these people clearly don't respect you, but you've got your
nice new guitar here and I'm wondering, do you mind giving me a try?
>> I would love if you tried.
>> Yeah? >> I would love, yeah.
>> Well, I'll tell you what, I plan on putting in the seat.
So let's put a little lullaby on for Finn Bálor.
That's a tough word.
His Boston accent is garbage.
>> Yeah, right.
Okay, we could do a lullaby.
What do you have in mind?
>> Do you know Itsy Bitsy Spider?
>> I mean, I know everything, so.
I mean, all right, let's go.
But hey, if we're gonna do this, let's do it right.
Go ahead and hit the lights.
>> Okay.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> All right, buddy, let's do this.
On my count, okay?
>> Okay, two, three, four.
[MUSIC]
>> Dude, this is going so good.
>> You're doing great, buddy.
Let's keep it going.
>> Yeah.
[MUSIC]
>> Wow.
[MUSIC]
Is it too early to start passing out Grammies?
>> That is your boy.
[MUSIC]
>> Balor Club has come to Boston.
[MUSIC]
>> The opponents, first, from Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, Finn Balor.
>> Finn Balor, Constable Corbin, a war of words last week on Monday Night Raw.
And while they have continued to pepper one another with
insults on social media throughout the week,
this is just a few samples of what they've been up to on Twitter.
>> I read those in Finn's accent and they're so much better that way.
[MUSIC]
>> That's good.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it all the same this Sunday when Baron Corbin beats
the tar out of Finn Balor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Extreme Rules.
[MUSIC]
I was hanging out with the Constable last night, enjoying a little Pappy Van Winkle.
He was telling me how he cannot wait to inflict physical harm on Finn Balor.
It's tweets like that Finn felt he's entitled to something here in WWE that
Corbin cannot stand.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
>> His tag team partner, weighing 235 pounds,
the glorious Bobby Roode.
>> Wait a minute, you were hanging out with the Constable.
Isn't that conflict of interest?
>> No, no, no, I was friends with him before-
>> [CROSSTALK] biased journalist.
>> He was appointed, before he was appointed to his position.
I was there just trying to maybe sway some opinions, do a little political work.
I did- >> The one thing has never been called is
unbiased or a journalist.
>> Listen, Jones, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I spent most of last night campaigning to have you replaced by a cactus.
>> Well, nonetheless, we have- >> [CROSSTALK] coming
up on Monday Night Raw.
[MUSIC]
>> And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
This is Constable Corbin taking it to Bobby Roode.
Corbin teaming with Elias tonight against Roode and
Finn Balor in this tag team match.
>> Baron could not wait to begin the match.
>> Bobby Roode now, a couple chops and a third to Corbin.
Roode will make the tag, or tried to make the tag, but
Baron Corbin not allowing it to happen.
Now Elias, here is a drop toehold by Roode into the chin lock.
Sunday at Extreme Rules on the WWE Network, Balor and
Corbin will go one on one.
>> I think that's a very underrated match coming up on Sunday,
potentially a match that could be right at the top as far as stealing the show.
>> I mentioned it briefly before, but when Baron Corbin arrived in WWE, he had a real
chip on his shoulder for superstars like a Finn Balor or a Bobby Roode.
He sure has accomplished a lot around the globe, but it doesn't matter to him.
He says it matters when you accomplish it on the big stage of WWE.
>> Well, of course, Constable Corbin, there's a side Russian leg sweep,
Roode floats into the cover.
>> Hooks the leg on Elias and a kick out.
>> Corbin remember he was appointed constable by the commissioner of
Monday Night Raw, Stephanie McMahon, to be Stephanie's eyes and
ears to sort of offer some checks and balances to General Manager Kurt Ankle.
>> And some might try to argue that the authority has gone to Baron Corbin's head
a little bit, but I think he's handling himself just fine.
>> I think he's handling himself great.
Sometimes people can't handle the power and the bright lights and the attention,
but I think Baron Corbin has handled it terrifically.
>> Almost like Spider Man but better.
>> Yeah, Bobby Roode lands on his feet, kick to the midsection, looking for
the glorious DDT.
Corbin though, provides the interference- >> Elias with a knee right to the face.
>> Good night. >> Might have broken Roode's nose.
>> It only takes a second, you turn your head, it could be too late.
For Bobby Roode, it was.
>> Now Constable Corbin, no doubt he's accomplished a lot in his young career.
A former Mr. Money in the Bank, former United States Champion.
Corbin now in control of Bobby Roode.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Look at this
incredible athleticism by Corbin, quickness of the speed of Corbin.
Both men down, center of the ring.
>> And I think that's gonna be the issue for
Finn Balor is to be hard to overcome on Sunday.
Not only is Corbin big, but he's also very, very quick.
>> Baron Corbin heavy handed former Golden Gloves boxing champion.
>> Here comes Elias, and Balor, and Finn Balor,
let's not forget what he's accomplished.
Former first ever Universal Champion trying to climb back to
the top as he takes out Elias and Corbin.
>> Double stab right to the midsection of Elias.
Balor is on a roll right now.
Elias to the outside.
And Finn Balor.
>> We've seen that look before.
>> And Baron Corbin grabbing Balor's leg as it looked like Balor was going to fly.
>> My God. >> And from behind, Elias taking control,
and Corbin and Elias working very well as this tag team match continues live on Raw.
We're back live on Monday Night Raw.
Corbin and Elias in control of Finn Balor and Bobby Roode in this tag team match.
Little, as we take a look at what happened before the commercial break,
the distraction by Corbin, and watch how Elias took control here.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Blasting Balor from behind.
Meanwhile, in the ring, guys, a preview of Sunday when Balor and
Corbin will meet at Extreme Rules on the WWE Network.
Uppercut, cover, hook to the leg by the Constable, and a kick out by Balor.
>> Yeah, the- >> Go ahead.
>> Now the Constable is really showing the physical advantage that he
has over Finn Balor and things.
So Finn's got to figure out something on Sunday to overtake this.
>> What this is right now is a golden opportunity for
Corbin to inflict a little punishment, soften up Finn Balor before this Sunday.
>> No doubt.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Now the ultra aggressive Elias.
>> I think something that's really surprised me in this match is that Elias
and Baron Corbin are not two guys that are tag team partners that are normally ever
on the same page or in the same book, but
they're doing a really nice job together tonight.
>> I think Elias also realizes it probably will behoove him to get along
with the Constable, who has so
much pull in the power department here at WWE from a management standpoint.
A couple of forearms by Finn Balor whipped into the corner.
And Balor wants to fight out.
Notice how quickly he made his way out of the corner to stay away from Corbin, and
now an opportunity to make a tag.
>> Elias is out and now Finn's got to get to his corner.
>> Tag made to Corbin, Balor struggling, and Constable Corbin, great job,
not allowing Finn to get to his partner.
[SOUND] >> Now mocking
both Roode and Balor.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Corbin as rough and tough as they come,
and Balor with a sling blade.
Now he has another opportunity.
>> I'm all for the talking trash in the middle of emphasizing your point, but
at some point, you gotta focus on your opponent, cuz then this could happen.
>> Yeah, Bobby Roode in off the tag.
The Glorious One with a back elbow to Corbin, off the second rope.
Leapfrog up over the top, down goes Corbin.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Bobby Roode all fired up right now.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Bobby Roode gonna go up top.
Top rope, Corbin back to his feet.
>> What's he gonna?
>> Roode got caught.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Corbin with a chokeslam.
>> Back breaker chokeslam, cover, hooks both legs, Balor breaks it up.
And now Elias sent through the second rope, and
Finn Balor, a drop kick driving Elias back to the barricade.
>> This is what Finn's gonna need on Sunday.
>> And Corbin just blasted Balor.
>> That might be what Finn's gonna get on Sunday [LAUGH].
>> Now Roode from behind rolling up the Constable.
Kick out at two.
>> Almost a big win.
>> And Roode fighting back though, second rope now.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Bobby Roode, blockbuster, cover.
Is it enough?
>> Elias saving the matchup for his team.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Bobby Roode feeling the effects
of the strike from Elias.
I think Bobby might have landed a little awkwardly delivering the blockbuster.
>> And Finn Balor not allowing Elias to make the tag.
And Corbin.
>> It all comes back to Corbin, there they are.
>> And now the brawl outside the ring between the Constable and Balor.
>> The and the going at it.
>> Deep resentment between these two.
>> Well, you see it on his face.
Finn is sick and tired of everything Baron Corbin is about.
>> Balor now, and Corbin made him pay.
Bálor was going for the coup de gras.
Into the post.
And now Bobby Roode looking to close in on a victory.
>> And Bobby Roode is trying to get this crowd to come with him.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Spine buster.
Corbin from behind once again, end of days.
>> Cover.
>> One, two, three.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
>> Here are your winners, Elias and Constable Baron Corbin.
>> Boys, three times either Bobby Roode or Finn Balor turned their head for
just a split second, and ultimately, it cost them the matchup.
>> Could be a preview of things yet to come for Finn Balor
this Sunday in the Steel City when he goes one on one with the Constable.
