WWE Tag Team Championship

Plus, he's doing the best character work of his entire career simultaneously.

Some will say, "You know what? Too bad it came too late." I'm gonna say, do you forget that in 2023 he beat the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions of all time in The Usos with his best friend Kevin Owens, or in 2024 when he ended Gunther's historic Intercontinental Championship reign? That's four years now that Zayn has been booked as a top guy in WWE.

People wanna complain about LA Knight, complain about LA Knight.

He deserves your complaints and boosting.

And to be honest with you, I, I believe it without a doubt.

Also in 1981, Ric Flair defeats Dusty Rhodes to win for the first time the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

And Ric Flair's cut many promos throughout his career, always flashing back to 1981.

And it really was a cool time to be a wrestling fan.

And you had Kamala over leaping Ronnie Poffo.

1988, Goldust makes his pro wrestling debut.

He debuts at Florida Championship Wrestling out of Tampa, Florida.

He wrestles under his name, Dustin Rhodes, and defeats Bob Cook.

So what does it say? It says that night one, here's the lineup.

Randy Orton, get ready, versus Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Championship.

Now, you may be saying to yourself, "Well, what are you, what are you talking about? We, we just had that." And we did.

We did.

The next match it said, and this is pretty similar, for WrestleMania 43, CM Punk and Seth Rollins in a No Holds Barred match.

It says that CM Punk's gonna win, and the reasoning is that no championships needed.

By Mania, Punk losing the WWE Championship actually frees him up for a hotter personal program, and Saudi Arabia is the ex- is exactly the kind of WrestleMania where WWE says, "Give us the biggest match possible." No, actually, uh, ChatGPT, that's where, uh, Saudi Arabia says, "Give us the best match and biggest match possible." Okay? [sighs] Uh, I, I really, I don't know why they choose this.

Is it impossible? No.

I'm going to speak about Awesome Austin Creed in a second, but these are freaking legends.

You know, that penny title that we all hated, the WWE Tag Team Championship, them and the Usos made that title relevant along with Team Hell No and a bunch of others.

But we hated that title.

Kofi, Big E, and Awesome Awesome Creed, bro, they did some awesome things.

Um, you know, definitely wanna celebrate some WWE alums who have definitely done themselves and moved the needle over there.

Um, you know, so, you know, so of course, congratulations to, uh, Mercedes Bon- Monet for defeating Willow, Willow Nightingale, you know, for, you know, for the, you know, for the AEW Women's, uh, World Championship.

And so, you know, the, you know, and of course, um, you know, and, and the thing is, it was great to see how, you know, this journey of hers, this story, you know, you know, like I say, f- really came full circle.

And her, you know, her journey, her story was all, you know, was all about losing all those titles, being the Ultimo Monet, Ultimo Dragon, you know, thing going on.

You know what I mean? If, if, if they would really fumble, then, you know, that experiment would've, would've experiment would've blown up.

Um, you know, like, you know, after that Black Friday in 2014, you know, when they came out with, you know, the blue looked like Smurfs on Black Friday, you know what I mean? Like, if, if they fumbled, then, you know, if WWE f-fumbled them, then it would've been over way before the, before it, it even started.

So for New Day to, you know, to have, to have the reign that they've had, being like what, like 11 time, you know, uh, WWE Tag Team Champions.

They've had, uh, you know, second longest tag title reign of all time, like 489 days.

We are honored and privileged to, I do believe... speak to two individuals for the first time since a lot has happened in their life, not only this past Sunday, but dating back to this past May as well.

They are arguably the greatest tag team in pro wrestling history, 13-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

They have seen and done it all, and on Sunday at AEW All-In Wembley, they showed up, and to some, if you, you know, take part in the internet wrestling world.

To some, it was the worst kept secret in pro wrestling.

But the funny thing is, is it didn't really solidify and become official until less than 24 hours before the show.

We didn't sign until like less than 24 hours before.

So... whatever you know we know what we wanted we know what everybody else wanted but it wasn't like officially official until very soon before the kickoff time you know what i'm saying so uh yeah it was it was incredible um we've wanted to mix it up with all these tag teams for a very very long time um and to see it all come to fruition It's like I said, just like a weird, bizarre dream, but the best dream possible.

Okay, so Austin, can I ask that video of the two of you shaking hands with Tony, is that when you actually signed? Because I noticed there was something in your hands, I think like an iPad or something.

after this, we have a

tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

We have the world's greatest tag team with Charlie Haas and Sean Benjamin taking on Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio.

Wait, hold up.
