00:00:08,525 --> 00:00:09,543
[Triple H] Then.

2
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:14,447
Now.

3
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:20,570
Forever.

4
00:00:28,612 --> 00:00:30,080
Together.

5
00:00:38,138 --> 00:00:39,723
[Tessitore] The Road to WrestleMania

6
00:00:39,756 --> 00:00:42,893
has concluded
the decibel-crushing European portion

7
00:00:42,925 --> 00:00:47,064
and now returns to sweet home Chicago.

8
00:00:47,097 --> 00:00:51,652
This city has hosted three WrestleManias,
and now Chicago plays a critical role

9
00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:53,787
in getting us ready for the next 'Mania.

10
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:58,425
Our final destination is that,
the massive Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.

11
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,977
The anticipation is reaching
a near crescendo.

12
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:04,947
We're just 15 days away
from what will be a spectacle there.

13
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:07,334
WrestleMania 41 is coming quickly.

14
00:01:07,366 --> 00:01:11,705
The question is what twists
and turns will happen here?

15
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:15,475
Look at this scene,
a sold out Allstate Arena,

16
00:01:15,509 --> 00:01:18,428
consistently one of the best crowds
for the WWE,

17
00:01:18,462 --> 00:01:20,564
a venue where so much history
has been made,

18
00:01:20,597 --> 00:01:23,166
and tonight it's where a rivalry
among powerhouse big men

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,835
will decide so much.

20
00:01:24,868 --> 00:01:28,438
Braun Strowman is here in Chicago tonight.

21
00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:33,226
A week ago, Strowman was battling
for the US Championship.

22
00:01:33,794 --> 00:01:37,113
But that was once again interrupted
by the Samoan Werewolf.

23
00:01:37,146 --> 00:01:42,351
And now Jacob Fatu returns with
Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga by his side.

24
00:01:42,386 --> 00:01:45,889
Jacob told Solo he'll take care
of his business with or without them.

25
00:01:45,923 --> 00:01:50,110
The business tonight: number one
contender, Last Man Standing Match,

26
00:01:50,143 --> 00:01:52,428
title match at WrestleMania on the line.

27
00:01:52,461 --> 00:01:54,631
The winner gets LA Knight.

28
00:01:55,399 --> 00:01:58,601
He's here in Chicago himself,
ready to get after it,

29
00:01:58,634 --> 00:02:03,574
taking on Tama Tonga
in this sold-out arena in Chicago.

30
00:02:03,607 --> 00:02:05,658
We also have another
championship opportunity.

31
00:02:05,692 --> 00:02:06,877
It's the tag team division.

32
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:10,496
Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa,
they've come to Chi-town.

33
00:02:10,531 --> 00:02:13,350
DIY looking for a way to get gold back.

34
00:02:13,382 --> 00:02:17,054
The Motor City Machine Guns
are not backing down.

35
00:02:17,087 --> 00:02:21,924
These two teams put on a thriller
the last time out at Royal Rumble.

36
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:23,376
Now they meet again.

37
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:26,713
This time to earn
number one contender status.

38
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:30,000
B-Fab has made her way to Chicago.

39
00:02:30,033 --> 00:02:33,337
B-Fab has plenty of reasons
to seek revenge tonight.

40
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:38,976
It's a huge moment for B-Fab to settle
a score, but proceed with caution.

41
00:02:39,009 --> 00:02:42,012
That's the new warning
from Naomi to everyone.

42
00:02:42,045 --> 00:02:44,731
She's told the world
she was too nice for too long.

43
00:02:44,765 --> 00:02:47,918
There's nothing nice happening
in her steer of action now.

44
00:02:47,951 --> 00:02:52,105
On the heels of another sneak attack,
Naomi heads to the ring tonight.

45
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:55,025
As we are thrilled that you are with us.

46
00:02:55,058 --> 00:02:59,161
This outrageous scene here in Chicago.
Good evening, everybody.

47
00:02:59,196 --> 00:03:02,583
Joe Tessitore,
as always with my partner Wade Barrett.

48
00:03:02,616 --> 00:03:05,167
These fans, they never disappoint.

49
00:03:05,202 --> 00:03:08,856
Always a red-hot crowd
right here in Chicago,

50
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:13,876
and historically speaking,
some of WWE's most shocking moments

51
00:03:13,911 --> 00:03:16,346
have taken place
right here in this building.

52
00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:19,616
I've got a funny feeling, Joe.
We might get another one later on tonight.

53
00:03:19,649 --> 00:03:20,733
I am up for that, my man.

54
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:25,289
These fans found out just a week ago
that the Second City hometown hero

55
00:03:25,322 --> 00:03:27,757
is gonna be main eventing WrestleMania.

56
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:29,226
Folks, it is set.

57
00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:31,628
Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns,

58
00:03:31,661 --> 00:03:36,333
and Chicago's own CM Punk.

59
00:03:40,119 --> 00:03:43,040
[Reigns] The OTC
came here for two reasons.

60
00:03:43,072 --> 00:03:44,908
One, to be acknowledged…

61
00:03:44,941 --> 00:03:47,027
[crowd chants] OTC! OTC!

62
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:50,998
[Reigns] And two,

63
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:54,434

65
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:02,075
[Rollins] Roman, I don't know why
you're in such a hurry to leave, man.

66
00:04:02,108 --> 00:04:06,046
This is our building.
We got a lot of history here.

67
00:04:06,078 --> 00:04:12,719
We came down those stairs right here
ready to burn down the old guard.

68
00:04:12,753 --> 00:04:18,659
We were ready to remake
this company in our image.

69
00:04:19,159 --> 00:04:23,897
Ah, don't get me wrong,
a lot has happened in the past 12 years,

70
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:29,603
but I daresay we accomplished our mission.

71
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,705
You keep saying "we."

72
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:36,493
"We" died a long time ago.

73
00:04:36,527 --> 00:04:38,611
It's only been me.

74
00:04:39,263 --> 00:04:42,616
You've been here,
but I've done all the work.

75
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:46,486
I've made this place what it is today.

76
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,205
-What have you done?
-I'll tell you what I've done.

77
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,592
You, you, you!

78
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:55,361
It's that mindset
that keeps me having to screw you.

79
00:04:57,296 --> 00:05:00,767
And your biggest mistake
is not understanding the danger

80
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,301
that's right in front of us.

81
00:05:02,336 --> 00:05:06,740
You let the biggest snake in the world,
CM Punk, into the garden.

82
00:05:07,508 --> 00:05:10,394
You could have
cut his head off at WarGames,

83
00:05:10,426 --> 00:05:12,863
but instead you shook his hand.

84
00:05:14,063 --> 00:05:18,784
And now I am left to do what I always do.

85
00:05:19,536 --> 00:05:23,423
Clean up your mess… again.

["Cult of Personality" plays]

87
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:31,931
[CM Punk] I have come here
to sign a contract.

88
00:05:31,965 --> 00:05:34,084
[Reigns] What, do you need a highlighter?
What are you doing?

89
00:05:34,116 --> 00:05:36,986
Wiseman, please,
just smarten him up already.

90
00:05:37,638 --> 00:05:40,440
I know what you're looking for,
and it's in there.

91
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:44,912
You're closing the show at WrestleMania.

92
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:50,417
You get to live your dream of all dreams.

93
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:53,053
CM Punk,

94
00:05:53,085 --> 00:05:59,626
you are a WrestleMania main eventer!

95
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:05,414
See what I'm saying? One man's dream
is another man's favorite check.

96
00:06:07,284 --> 00:06:11,438
No, wipe those tears out of your eyes!
You don't deserve it!

97
00:06:11,471 --> 00:06:14,441
Main eventing WrestleMania is sacred.

98
00:06:14,474 --> 00:06:15,842
He doesn't deserve it,

99
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:18,779
and this is your fault,
and this is your fault.

as it sounds to the WWE Universe

when Survivor Series: WarGames
was seemingly going off the air,

142
00:09:43,567 --> 00:09:45,252

just to experience it

00:11:52,646 --> 00:11:54,531
[crowd cheers]

173
00:11:59,836 --> 00:12:01,921
Rico, give me this.

174
00:12:03,707 --> 00:12:05,909
-[Tessitore laughs]
-[crowd cheers]

175
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:16,403
They told me the best audiences

176
00:12:16,435 --> 00:12:17,820
were oversees.

177
00:12:17,855 --> 00:12:19,973
Where you at, Chicago? Let 'em know!

178
00:12:20,574 --> 00:12:21,891
[crowd cheers]

179
00:12:21,925 --> 00:12:24,895
-[Tessitore] It's Punk cam.
-[Barrett] Rico's out of a job.

180
00:12:24,928 --> 00:12:27,164
[CM Punk] Look how awful
this camerawork is.

181
00:12:27,197 --> 00:12:28,814
[Tessitore laughs]

182
00:12:29,766 --> 00:12:31,468
[cheering continues]

183
00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:40,377
[Tessitore] Our Director Lee's cringing
right now, but that was great stuff.

184
00:12:41,295 --> 00:12:43,964
[Barrett] Those cameras
are worth about ten grand.

185
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:45,165
Be careful with that.

186
00:12:45,949 --> 00:12:49,486
You see Chicago,
that's why we don't listen to them.

187
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,005
We don't listen to outside voices.

188
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:54,308
Little… Little fact.

189
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:57,728
I'm not supposed to be here.

190
00:13:02,366 --> 00:13:03,567
Stop me if you heard it.

191
00:13:03,599 --> 00:13:07,020
I was born at Silver Cross Hospital
with a cord around my neck.

192
00:13:07,054 --> 00:13:10,958
I came out blue.
They had to bring me back to life.

193
00:13:10,991 --> 00:13:13,794
I'm not supposed to be here.

194
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:16,262
[crowd cheers]

195
00:13:18,098 --> 00:13:21,134
Every time I come out on television,
no matter where it is,

196
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:26,906
every city all across the world,
Netflix, USA, doesn't matter.

197
00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:30,861
My goal is to make new fans
every single time,

198
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:34,647
but tonight,
ladies and gentlemen out in TV land,

199
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,051
please forgive me while I take the time
not to make new fans,

200
00:13:39,086 --> 00:13:43,439
but to thank 16,000 strong

201
00:13:43,473 --> 00:13:47,527
of my hometown friends and family.

202
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,814
[crowd cheering]

203
00:13:55,536 --> 00:13:58,355
[crowd chants] CM Punk!
CM Punk!CM Punk! CM Punk!

204
00:14:03,377 --> 00:14:06,579
When they tell you
you're not supposed to be here,

205
00:14:06,613 --> 00:14:09,483
you say, "Well,
who's gonna make me leave?"

206
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:14,538
And that's exactly what I have done
every single time I lace my boots up.

207
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:17,174
Hell, every single time
I go to the grocery store,

208
00:14:17,207 --> 00:14:20,227
and they tell me,
"You're not supposed to be here,"

209
00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:22,762
I buy my groceries, I pay the man,

210
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:25,299
and then I leave,
and ladies and gentlemen,

211
00:14:25,332 --> 00:14:28,367
nothing has changed just because--

212
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:30,304
and I don't know if you've heard this,

213
00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:33,940
but I'm in the main event of WrestleMania.

214
00:14:33,973 --> 00:14:36,543
[crowd cheers]

215
00:14:56,863 --> 00:15:00,851
[crowd chants] You deserve it!
You deserve it! You deserve it!

216
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:07,473
I deserve it?

217
00:15:07,507 --> 00:15:08,858
[crowd cheers]

218
00:15:10,894 --> 00:15:14,982
Ladies and gentlemen, I've earned it.

219
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:17,668
[crowd cheers]

220
00:15:18,252 --> 00:15:20,454
I started in the backyards of Chicago,

221
00:15:20,487 --> 00:15:22,839
and they said,
"You're not supposed to be here."

222
00:15:22,872 --> 00:15:26,627
I trained at the Steel Domain
at Irving and Central, and they said,

223
00:15:26,660 --> 00:15:28,779
"You're not supposed to be here."

224
00:15:28,812 --> 00:15:30,447
I signed a contract here.

225
00:15:30,479 --> 00:15:32,915
They said,
"You're not supposed to be here."

226
00:15:32,949 --> 00:15:37,454
I paraded out dressed
like Al Capone right over there

227
00:15:37,487 --> 00:15:40,623
on John Cena's
gangster car at WrestleMania.

228
00:15:41,742 --> 00:15:44,560
And they said,
"That's as good as it gets for you, kid."

229
00:15:44,594 --> 00:15:46,413
"You're not supposed to be here."

230
00:15:46,914 --> 00:15:49,833
And to me that's when the hard work began.

231
00:15:49,867 --> 00:15:52,853
So I appreciate
everybody congratulating me,

232
00:15:52,886 --> 00:15:56,073
and as I walked through the airport
coming home to O'Hare,

233
00:15:56,106 --> 00:16:00,142
they said, "Good luck, CM Punk.
Congratulations, you made it."

234
00:16:00,176 --> 00:16:06,049
And I'm here to let you know
that now the hard work begins.

235
00:16:06,083 --> 00:16:07,534
[crowd cheers]

236
00:16:09,402 --> 00:16:12,222
I am a product of this town.

237
00:16:12,256 --> 00:16:16,827
I have to thank each and every
single one of you, and please forgive me

238
00:16:16,859 --> 00:16:20,981
while I'm thanking you if I don't
thank my beautiful wife April first.

239
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:22,683
[crowd cheers]

240
00:16:28,539 --> 00:16:32,074
[crowd chanting] AJ Lee!
AJ Lee! AJ Lee! AJ Lee!

241
00:16:35,728 --> 00:16:38,232
She's probably going to be
a little bit mad at me for that,

242
00:16:38,265 --> 00:16:40,584
but I know somebody
who's not going to be mad at me

243
00:16:40,617 --> 00:16:42,169
if you chant his name,

244
00:16:42,202 --> 00:16:43,871
is my puppy, Larry.

245
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,640
[crowd cheers]

246
00:16:46,673 --> 00:16:50,077
[crowd chanting] Larry!
Larry! Larry! Larry!

247
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:57,067
There's way too many people to thank,

248
00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:02,171
people that got me exactly right
where I need to be.

249
00:17:03,540 --> 00:17:05,775
I figure coming out on here on television

250
00:17:05,809 --> 00:17:09,195
and thanking each and every
single one of you was a good start.

251
00:17:09,730 --> 00:17:12,382
I wouldn't be who I am without this city.

252
00:17:12,415 --> 00:17:15,502
I wouldn't be where I am
without this city.

253
00:17:15,536 --> 00:17:19,056
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

254
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:24,560
And now the hard work begins

255
00:17:25,579 --> 00:17:28,932
because I got a date at WrestleMania,

256
00:17:28,966 --> 00:17:35,239
and I promise you
I am gonna whip Seth Rollins's ass.

257
00:17:35,272 --> 00:17:40,894
I am gonna put a beating
on the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns

258
00:17:41,528 --> 00:17:48,118
at the main event of WrestleMania!

259
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:49,168
[crowd cheers]

260
00:17:50,921 --> 00:17:53,340
[Heyman] Ladies and gentlemen…

261
00:17:53,373 --> 00:17:55,709
[crowd cheers]

262
00:18:06,653 --> 00:18:09,273
Ladies and gentlemen,

263
00:18:09,306 --> 00:18:13,827
-my name is Paul Heyman.
-[crowd] My name is Paul Heyman!

264
00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:19,132
I just got into Chicago.
I apologize for being late.

265
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:23,086
It was no disrespect to the Second City,

266
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,658
and I assure you,
I absolutely positively assure you

267
00:18:27,691 --> 00:18:33,563
it was no disrespect
to my best friend in the world,

268
00:18:33,597 --> 00:18:38,252
the Second City Saint,
The Best In The World,

269
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:41,989
-CM Punk!
-[crowd] CM Punk!

270
00:18:42,022 --> 00:18:44,408
[crowd cheers]

271
00:18:46,493 --> 00:18:48,161
[Heyman] May I?

272
00:18:49,530 --> 00:18:52,633
I was just getting to thank you.
Yeah, come on in.

273
00:18:54,368 --> 00:18:56,720
-[crowd chants] EC Dub! EC Dub!
-[chuckles] Good Lord.

274
00:18:56,753 --> 00:18:58,038
[chanting continues]

275
00:19:05,229 --> 00:19:07,331
You can't escape. You can't--

276
00:19:07,364 --> 00:19:09,750
EC Dub, EC Dub… [laughs]

277
00:19:09,783 --> 00:19:15,222
[crowd chants] EC Dub!
EC Dub! EC Dub! EC Dub!

278
00:19:17,191 --> 00:19:20,444
I… I thank you, but tonight…

279
00:19:20,476 --> 00:19:26,817
tonight, ask not, Chicago,
what you can do for your Wiseman.

280
00:19:26,850 --> 00:19:32,456
Ask instead what your Wiseman
can do for you.

281
00:19:32,489 --> 00:19:34,140
[crowd cheers]

282
00:19:35,259 --> 00:19:39,863
But the first thing I can do is,
if I could steal a phrase here,

283
00:19:39,897 --> 00:19:42,933
to be the voice of the voiceless,

284
00:19:42,966 --> 00:19:49,056
CM punk, you belong here.

285
00:19:52,543 --> 00:19:57,998
You belong in this ring.
You belong in Chicago, and by God,

286
00:19:58,031 --> 00:20:03,570
you belong in the main event
of WrestleMania.

287
00:20:03,604 --> 00:20:04,738
[crowd cheers]

288
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:12,646
The last time the two of us
were standing here inside this ring,

289
00:20:12,678 --> 00:20:16,767
I came up to you because
Solo and Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga

290
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,951
were breathing down my neck

291
00:20:17,985 --> 00:20:21,038
and I said, "Please take me with you."

292
00:20:21,071 --> 00:20:26,059
And the next week, they put me through the
announce table at Madison Square Garden

293
00:20:26,092 --> 00:20:29,329
and put me out for
the longest I've ever been out

294
00:20:29,363 --> 00:20:31,815
except when I've been fired and--

295
00:20:32,366 --> 00:20:35,502
That's not funny. That's not funny.

296
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:40,374
Then you had a Hell in a Cell Match
with Drew McIntyre,

297
00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:43,493
and despite the fact
that you whipped his ass and won,

298
00:20:43,527 --> 00:20:45,913
the beating that you took was so severe,

299
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,715
you were contemplating never coming back.

300
00:20:50,450 --> 00:20:53,921
And then I begged you,
I pleaded with you, I said,

301
00:20:55,205 --> 00:20:57,323
"It's 4 on 5 at WarGames.

302
00:20:58,358 --> 00:21:00,226
And my Tribal Chief is in trouble.

303
00:21:00,977 --> 00:21:05,065
And I don't have another way out, and I
have no one else in the world to turn to.

304
00:21:05,566 --> 00:21:07,167
Please do me this…

305
00:21:08,652 --> 00:21:12,739
This favor. Just one…
Just do this, please."

306
00:21:12,773 --> 00:21:16,659
And you said to me,
"Yes, I'll do it for you,"

307
00:21:16,693 --> 00:21:20,746
and you saved the family,
you saved the match,

308
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:22,765
you saved the Bloodline.

309
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:28,772
You deserve all the credit in the world,
and for that I thank you.

310
00:21:30,006 --> 00:21:33,694
And I have, if you'll indulge me,

311
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:38,599
one more favor to ask of you.

312
00:21:41,752 --> 00:21:44,521
You have a favor? Another favor?

313
00:21:46,956 --> 00:21:49,943
We're stockpiling favors,
ladies and gentlemen.

314
00:21:50,711 --> 00:21:51,928
What can I do for you?

315
00:21:54,447 --> 00:21:57,618
Please tell me the favor
that I owe you right now.

316
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,253
[crowd cheers]

317
00:22:03,506 --> 00:22:05,408
Because Roman Reigns is gonna be here,

318
00:22:05,442 --> 00:22:07,744
and he's pissed off
about it enough as it is,

319
00:22:07,778 --> 00:22:11,331
and you don't… you don't know
what happens when the Tribal Chief--

320
00:22:11,365 --> 00:22:13,350
Have you ever heard of his father Sika?

321
00:22:13,383 --> 00:22:16,687
Do you know what happens
when these Samoans get angry?

322
00:22:18,088 --> 00:22:19,438
Did you say he's not here?

323
00:22:20,874 --> 00:22:22,492
[crowd jeers]

324
00:22:25,512 --> 00:22:27,481
Yet. Yet.

He's… He's in…

326
00:22:29,198 --> 00:22:32,119
He's in training camp
for WrestleMania, and he--

327
00:22:32,152 --> 00:22:33,620
As he should be, and listen,

328
00:22:33,654 --> 00:22:36,939
as much as I think the favor
is none of his business,

329
00:22:36,974 --> 00:22:39,592
I do think it's going
to affect him a little bit.

330
00:22:40,777 --> 00:22:44,531
I would like to tell him to his face
when I tell you,

331
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:48,819
so why don't you let me
and all my friends know

332
00:22:48,851 --> 00:22:50,937
when Big Chief decides to show up.

Years and years of establishing a brand,

This is the brother of Penta.

Wow, I wouldn't mind trying that myself.

368

Simply stated, one of the most celebrated

372
00:26:34,828 --> 00:26:37,281
And you mentioned the case
with his brother Penta.

373
00:26:38,715 --> 00:26:41,968
This is the other half
of the famed Lucha Brothers tag team.

374
00:26:42,002 --> 00:26:45,222
Incredible reception,
so much anticipation.

[Barrett] The most electrifying athlete
I've ever clapped eyes on.

377
00:26:52,728 --> 00:26:57,851
So thrilled he's right here on
the biggest stage of his 20-year career,

378
00:26:57,885 --> 00:27:00,120
and a hot start from Rey Fénix.

379
00:27:02,673 --> 00:27:06,293
Let's give a little shoutout
to Nathan Frazer,

380
00:27:06,326 --> 00:27:10,330
a man who has got a fair amount
of hype behind him himself.

381
00:27:10,364 --> 00:27:12,866
Now he's essentially playing
with house money here.

382
00:27:12,899 --> 00:27:17,571
He's not got the kind of hype behind him
that Rey Fénix has got,

383
00:27:17,603 --> 00:27:20,640
but what a way to
upset the apple cart it would be

384
00:27:20,674 --> 00:27:23,726
if he pulls off a shocker today
against the luchador.

385
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,879
[Tessitore] And would you look
at the pace, the full-throttle pace

386
00:27:26,914 --> 00:27:30,250
and speed blistering between these two.

387
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,120
[Barrett] Tell you about Nathan Frazer
who's actually trained by--

388
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:36,322
[Tessitore] Nelson roll up.
Looking for a quick win.

389
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:38,024
Right back on it.

390

-Oh! Fénix!
-[Barrett] Oh! Wow!

391
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:47,668
[Tessitore] Frazer absolutely…

392
00:27:49,136 --> 00:27:53,389
trying to keep up and stay with this pace
that Fénix is setting early on here,

393
00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:56,059
and Frazer himself a guy
who loves taking risks

394
00:27:56,092 --> 00:27:58,078
and has uncanny resilience.

395
00:27:59,629 --> 00:28:02,549
[Barrett] Seth Rollins
in part trained Nathan Frazer.

396
00:28:02,582 --> 00:28:05,202
I spoke to Seth Rollins earlier today.

397
00:28:05,235 --> 00:28:08,655
He said he's never seen an athlete
quite as quick as Nathan Frazer,

398
00:28:08,688 --> 00:28:11,891
comparing him
to a superhero like The Flash.

399
00:28:13,810 --> 00:28:17,246
Incredible pace there,
taking out Rey Fénix on the outside,

400
00:28:17,281 --> 00:28:20,617
and now the tide
perhaps starting to turn in this one.

401
00:28:20,650 --> 00:28:26,139
Nathan Frazer about as close to a luchador
as England has ever really produced.

402
00:28:26,673 --> 00:28:30,677
But moments here looking every
bit the equal of Rey Fénix.

403
00:28:30,711 --> 00:28:32,145
[Tessitore] Fénix…

404
00:28:33,013 --> 00:28:34,380
How about it?

405
00:28:36,832 --> 00:28:40,353
Welcome to the WWE, Rey Fénix.

406
00:28:43,740 --> 00:28:46,843
Here in Chicago,
Rey Fénix, the luchador legend,

407
00:28:46,877 --> 00:28:51,264
making his much-anticipated
WWE debut against Nathan Frazer

408
00:28:51,298 --> 00:28:53,699
who is making a SmackDown debut.

409
00:28:53,734 --> 00:28:55,836
Fénix has won five Tag Team titles

410
00:28:55,869 --> 00:28:57,687
in different promotions
with his brother Penta

411
00:28:57,721 --> 00:29:01,742
who's been an absolute superstar
on Raw on Netflix.

412
00:29:01,774 --> 00:29:05,478
[Barrett] Well, if Rey Fénix thought this
was just going to be a procession

413
00:29:05,512 --> 00:29:08,564
through to victory,
he was very, very wrong.

414
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:10,617
Frazer's made this one hell of a fight.

415
00:29:10,650 --> 00:29:12,919
[Tessitore] Look
at the matchup of athleticism

416
00:29:12,953 --> 00:29:15,254
between these two here. Superplex.

417
00:29:17,291 --> 00:29:19,293
And Frazer right back into it.

418
00:29:19,326 --> 00:29:22,696
Now into the cover,
looking for the win here in Chicago.

419
00:29:22,728 --> 00:29:24,982
[Barrett] Well,
with that rolled-through superplex

420
00:29:25,014 --> 00:29:28,318
into what I guess
was a Final Cut neck breaker,

421
00:29:28,351 --> 00:29:32,272
you could see the influence of his mentor
Seth Rollins already.

422
00:29:32,305 --> 00:29:33,823
What a mentor to have.

423
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:40,614
Well, the philosophy
of these two is so clear.

424
00:29:40,647 --> 00:29:44,251
If you're in control,
you're simply not going fast enough.

425
00:29:44,283 --> 00:29:47,404
This has been a sprint from the off.

426
00:29:48,672 --> 00:29:51,625
[Tessitore] Frazer lining it up,
loving to go for it,

427
00:29:51,658 --> 00:29:53,377
misses on the Phoenix Splash.

428
00:29:54,477 --> 00:29:57,898
[Barrett] It's a move he's put numerous
superstars away with in NXT.

429
00:29:57,930 --> 00:30:01,268
-[Tessitore] Big knee. Huge knee!
-[Barrett] Right on the point of the jaw!

430

[Tessitore] Fénix
just crumbled to the canvas,

431
00:30:04,571 --> 00:30:09,659
and now Frazer's in control,
but a counter opportunity for Rey Fénix.

432
00:30:09,693 --> 00:30:11,595
[Barrett] Through pulling out
all the stops here.

433
00:30:11,628 --> 00:30:13,679
-[Fénix] Goodbye, amigo!
-[Barrett] Whatever it takes.

434

435
00:30:19,052 --> 00:30:21,103
[Tessitore] And now Rey Fénix…

436
00:30:23,874 --> 00:30:27,127
The Fire Driver!
Boy, did he ever land that.

437
00:30:28,562 --> 00:30:34,967
And somehow… somehow
Nathan Frazer gets his shoulder up.

438
00:30:35,002 --> 00:30:37,905
[Barrett] Well, I've no idea
how Nathan Frazer doesn't have

439
00:30:37,937 --> 00:30:40,206
a broken neck after that one.

440
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,408
-Watch the landing here.
-[Tessitore] Oh!

441
00:30:42,442 --> 00:30:46,346
[Barrett] Pretty much directly on the top
of the head of Nathan Frazer,

442
00:30:46,379 --> 00:30:51,601
who was completely unable to tuck
the neck and land on the shoulders,

443
00:30:51,635 --> 00:30:54,204
but somehow Frazer's still battling away.

444
00:30:54,237 --> 00:30:55,289
Hats off to this kid.

445
00:30:55,322 --> 00:30:57,390

you mentioned it earlier,

446
00:30:57,424 --> 00:31:02,646
of visiting with Rey Fénix and describing
him as a hybrid luchador in his style.

447
00:31:02,678 --> 00:31:04,697
Define that a little more.

448
00:31:04,731 --> 00:31:07,650
[Barrett] Well, he's somebody
who can clearly do the high-flying stuff,

449
00:31:07,684 --> 00:31:13,372
perhaps as well as anyone we've ever seen,
but he can get down dirty and gritty--

450
00:31:13,407 --> 00:31:15,359
[Tessitore] And I think
you're seeing just that, Wade.

451
00:31:15,391 --> 00:31:17,060
[Barrett] Strikes and submissions
as needed.

452
00:31:17,093 --> 00:31:19,111
He can change it up
in the blink of an eye.

453
00:31:19,146 --> 00:31:23,283
[Tessitore] Wow! Saw that
Goodbye Amigo kick, the Fire Driver.

454
00:31:23,317 --> 00:31:28,422
He starts off with that knee to the head,
and now the varied offensive assault

455
00:31:28,455 --> 00:31:29,872
every which way.

But if you feel that way,

509
00:34:17,007 --> 00:34:19,141
you're gonna have to show me
you're better than him.

510
00:34:19,176 --> 00:34:21,627
I'll talk to Nick Aldis,
and I'll make it happen.

511
00:34:21,661 --> 00:34:22,795
Rey Fénix…

512
00:34:24,748 --> 00:34:26,116
versus Berto.

513
00:34:31,471 --> 00:34:35,074
[Barrett] Well,
from the high-octane Rey Fénix,

514
00:34:35,107 --> 00:34:38,161
our night continues on that theme
here on SmackDown,

515
00:34:38,194 --> 00:34:41,882
especially in our tag division
because two former champs,

516
00:34:41,915 --> 00:34:43,933
DIY and the Motor City Machine Guns

517
00:34:43,967 --> 00:34:46,636
will clash to decide
the number one contenders

518
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:47,754
for the Street Profits.

519
00:34:47,788 --> 00:34:48,788
That's later tonight.

520
00:34:48,822 --> 00:34:51,107
[Tessitore] And Jacob Fatu,
Braun Strowman.

521
00:34:51,141 --> 00:34:54,962
Who earns a WrestleMania title shot
for LA Knight's US Championship?

522
00:34:54,995 --> 00:34:57,964
Last Man Standing Match comes up later.

523
00:35:03,036 --> 00:35:06,673
It wasn't enough
that I gave you everything you have.

524
00:35:07,857 --> 00:35:10,060
Every big moment at my expense.

525
00:35:10,777 --> 00:35:13,964
Every girl you talked to at the bar,
bragging you were champion,

526
00:35:13,997 --> 00:35:14,998
that was my title.

527
00:35:15,031 --> 00:35:18,185
All the money you made
profited off of me being screwed.

528
00:35:18,801 --> 00:35:21,337
And you realized without me in your world,

529
00:35:21,371 --> 00:35:24,491
even when you were fighting for the title,
no one really cares about Damian Priest

530
00:35:24,525 --> 00:35:26,910
unless you're feasting off of my scraps.

531
00:35:27,528 --> 00:35:31,365
So you took away both my World Title
opportunities at WrestleMania

532
00:35:31,397 --> 00:35:32,749
when my back was turned.

533
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,122
All I asked for was for you
to verbally explain to me how I'm wrong.

534
00:35:40,073 --> 00:35:41,542
Poke hole in my logic.

535
00:35:41,575 --> 00:35:44,144
Maybe face me like a man, but…

536
00:35:45,379 --> 00:35:46,380
No.

537
00:35:47,014 --> 00:35:48,515
You did what you always do.

538
00:35:49,816 --> 00:35:51,201
You hid in the shadows

539
00:35:52,035 --> 00:35:53,120
like a vulture.

540
00:35:53,953 --> 00:35:56,123
After I beat Randy Orton
right in the middle of the ring,

541
00:35:56,156 --> 00:35:58,792
I was heading out with my buddies.
You attacked me.

542
00:35:58,825 --> 00:36:00,127
Put me through a windshield.

543
00:36:01,694 --> 00:36:03,864
I can live with my back hurting
across the Atlantic.

544
00:36:03,897 --> 00:36:07,366
But shards of glass went in my eye,
and I might never be the same.

545
00:36:07,401 --> 00:36:09,752
…glass in my eye! [screams]

546
00:36:09,786 --> 00:36:14,007
I need a miracle. I need to pray.

547
00:36:15,625 --> 00:36:18,412
And everybody knows
when Drew McIntyre prays…

548
00:36:19,145 --> 00:36:20,413
bad things happen.

549
00:36:23,650 --> 00:36:27,587
[Barrett] That is an irate Drew McIntyre,
but let's take you back to last Friday

550
00:36:27,621 --> 00:36:28,788
at the O2 in London.

551
00:36:28,822 --> 00:36:32,459
Strowman was looking
to capture the US Title,

552
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:36,129
but out of nowhere
the Samoan Werewolf turned up

553
00:36:36,163 --> 00:36:39,433
and does what he does best: wrecking shop.

554
00:36:39,466 --> 00:36:44,238
And now with the match thrown out,
Fatu went to town, taking out the Megastar

555
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:49,308
before feasting once again
on the Monster Braun Strowman.

556
00:36:49,343 --> 00:36:52,212
And an emphatic statement was made.

557
00:36:54,647 --> 00:36:56,700
Braun, we've seen it for months now.

558
00:36:56,732 --> 00:36:59,987
Jacob Fatu has been
a massive thorn in your side.

559
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:02,005
Look, that's an understatement.

560
00:37:02,038 --> 00:37:04,892
I've had enough of Jacob sticking
his nose in my business.

561
00:37:04,924 --> 00:37:08,795
Tonight, I show him why they call me
the Monster when I buzz saw him

562
00:37:08,828 --> 00:37:10,747
in this Last Man Standing Match.

563
00:37:10,781 --> 00:37:14,852
Then I'm going to WrestleMania,
and I'm taking that US Championship

564
00:37:14,884 --> 00:37:17,837
to complete my Grand Slam.

565
00:37:17,871 --> 00:37:21,975
[laughing] "Last man standing"? [scoffs]

566
00:37:22,009 --> 00:37:24,962
"Last man standing"?
Braun, you are finished.

567
00:37:25,578 --> 00:37:27,014
No matter what you say,

568
00:37:27,047 --> 00:37:31,484
you still gotta go out there
and face the Samoan Werewolf Jacob Fatu.

569
00:37:32,953 --> 00:37:33,953
Uh-huh.

570
00:37:35,221 --> 00:37:36,940
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

571
00:37:36,973 --> 00:37:38,558
[crowd cheers]

572
00:37:40,394 --> 00:37:44,631
Do not waste your energy on
this pumpkin head bumping his bacon lips

573
00:37:44,665 --> 00:37:46,366
about stuff
that's got nothing to do with him.

574
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,669
What you need to do
is get your boys in order,

575
00:37:48,702 --> 00:37:51,305
and, my man, you need
to keep your eyes on the prize.

576
00:37:52,623 --> 00:37:56,442
Yo, Knight, you got a lot of balls coming
over here and talking to me like that.

577
00:37:56,476 --> 00:37:58,478
Oh, you ain't lying. They're gargantuan.

578
00:37:58,979 --> 00:38:00,130
Don't worry about that.

579
00:38:00,163 --> 00:38:03,133
Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye. Yeah!

580
00:38:03,165 --> 00:38:06,870
You should be worried about me tonight.

581
00:38:08,805 --> 00:38:11,808
I am worried about you just a little bit
because if you wanna make noise,

582
00:38:11,842 --> 00:38:14,111
make noise because you're
about to make a lot of noise out there.

583
00:38:14,144 --> 00:38:17,447
You're gonna go… [imitates Tama Tonga]

584
00:38:17,481 --> 00:38:19,799
Because I'm gonna be
stomping your ass out.

585
00:38:19,833 --> 00:38:22,419
Now, if I can go ahead
and get a referee out here,

586
00:38:22,452 --> 00:38:24,136
why don't we go ahead
and remind this dummy

587
00:38:24,171 --> 00:38:26,957
exactly whose game this is
with everybody saying…

588
00:38:27,891 --> 00:38:29,877
-["Welcome to LA" plays]
-[crowd cheers]

589
00:38:31,194 --> 00:38:32,895
[Tessitore] Knight's not messing around.

590
00:38:32,930 --> 00:38:34,281
[Barrett chuckles]

591
00:38:34,314 --> 00:38:36,066
[imitates Tama Tonga] Yeah!

592
00:38:42,556 --> 00:38:43,857
[bell rings]

593
00:38:43,891 --> 00:38:46,759
[Nash] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

594
00:38:46,793 --> 00:38:50,931
Introducing first
from Los Angeles, California,

595
00:38:50,964 --> 00:38:54,301
weighing in at 240 pounds,

596
00:38:54,334 --> 00:38:59,038
he is the United States Champion,

597
00:38:59,072 --> 00:39:02,759
-LA Knight!
-[crowd] Yeah!

598
00:39:02,793 --> 00:39:06,697
[Tessitore] It's coming up next.
Tama Tonga against LA Knight.

599
00:39:06,730 --> 00:39:08,080
[Barrett] Yeah!

600
00:39:14,453 --> 00:39:17,040
[Tessitore] That was a pretty
awesome scene in Philly four weeks ago

601
00:39:17,074 --> 00:39:20,444
when LA Knight reclaimed
the United States Championship.

602
00:39:20,477 --> 00:39:23,113
Of course, the early weeks
of this second rein has been bogged down

603
00:39:23,145 --> 00:39:25,249
dealing with Samoan headaches.

604
00:39:37,828 --> 00:39:39,546
["Brother's Keeper" playing]

605
00:39:56,446 --> 00:40:01,368
[Nash] And his opponent,
accompanied to the ring by Solo Sikoa,

606
00:40:01,401 --> 00:40:05,355
weighing in at 220 pounds,

607
00:40:05,388 --> 00:40:09,459
Tama Tonga!

608
00:40:10,194 --> 00:40:13,747
[Tessitore] Tama, of course,
a former WWE Tag Team Champion.

609
00:40:14,281 --> 00:40:19,870
This is only his fifth singles matchup
of his SmackDown roster career.

610
00:40:19,903 --> 00:40:22,422
His last singles match
was actually against LA Knight

611
00:40:22,455 --> 00:40:25,325
back on January 24th.

612
00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:29,796
[Barrett] But what we have learned
about Tama Tonga since his debut here

613
00:40:29,830 --> 00:40:33,683
in WWE is that wherever Tama Tonga goes,

614
00:40:33,717 --> 00:40:36,970
carnage swiftly follows.

615
00:40:37,004 --> 00:40:41,225
There's a reason this guy behind
the scenes is nicknamed the Tongan Terror.

616
00:40:42,409 --> 00:40:46,596
And LA Knight may have bitten off
a little bit more than he can chew,

617
00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:48,815
even more so with Solo Sikoa

618
00:40:48,848 --> 00:40:51,734
prowling around the outside
of the ring for this one.

619
00:40:51,768 --> 00:40:53,554
[Tessitore] Yeah,
that tends to be an issue.

620
00:40:53,587 --> 00:40:57,207
We will see if it plays a role
here tonight in Chicago.

621
00:40:57,241 --> 00:40:58,759
[Barrett] Already trying to get involved.

622
00:40:58,792 --> 00:41:01,060
Trying to get the attention of LA Knight
right off the bat.

623
00:41:01,094 --> 00:41:02,496
Didn't work that time.

624
00:41:02,529 --> 00:41:06,316
[Tessitore] No, it didn't, as Knight
was able to parry that big left hand

625
00:41:06,350 --> 00:41:11,305
that Tama thought he didn't see coming
and then delivers the elbow early on.

626
00:41:11,337 --> 00:41:13,223
[Barrett] Look,
I think it's pretty obvious

627
00:41:13,257 --> 00:41:15,576
that I'm a big fan of LA Knight.

628
00:41:15,609 --> 00:41:19,313
If I had to criticize
the United States Champion,

629
00:41:19,346 --> 00:41:24,601
it would be that his confidence,
at times, borders on delusional.

630
00:41:25,102 --> 00:41:29,373
He's almost
completely oblivious to the fact

631
00:41:29,406 --> 00:41:33,594
that he is in major physical danger
in the ring with Tama Tonga.

632
00:41:33,627 --> 00:41:36,730
Even more-- Oh!
Even more so with Solo Sikoa.

633
00:41:36,763 --> 00:41:38,866
[Tessitore chuckles] I mean,
in terms of confidence,

634
00:41:38,899 --> 00:41:42,586
we are dealing with a man
who described gargantuan onions

635
00:41:42,618 --> 00:41:45,205
-prior to coming out to this arena floor.
-[Barrett laughs]

636
00:41:46,056 --> 00:41:48,775
I don't think they were onions.
I think they were watermelons.

637
00:41:48,808 --> 00:41:51,278
But regardless, the point still stands.

638
00:41:51,310 --> 00:41:52,813
Although, however…

639
00:41:53,797 --> 00:41:56,700
It is not the Megastar standing now.

640
00:41:56,732 --> 00:41:57,917
Now it's Tama Tonga.

641
00:41:57,951 --> 00:41:59,620
[Tessitore] Who's looking
for the early win,

642
00:41:59,653 --> 00:42:01,255
but Knight able to kick out with ease.

643
00:42:01,288 --> 00:42:05,741
The Megastar here in Chicago.
No matter where he goes-- Big boot lands--

644
00:42:05,776 --> 00:42:07,711
He gets an incredible reception.

645
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,105
[Barrett] Popularity and fan support
just breaks the scale for the Megastar.

646
00:42:18,138 --> 00:42:21,241
Where he goes, we get major ovations.

647
00:42:21,991 --> 00:42:25,913
And LA Knight now trying to
give the people exactly what they want.

648
00:42:25,946 --> 00:42:29,683
[crowd chants] Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

649
00:42:36,707 --> 00:42:41,161
[Tessitore] Tama. So effective
he just rolls out of the ring.

650
00:42:43,497 --> 00:42:45,598
And now out onto the floor.

651
00:42:47,935 --> 00:42:50,237
And face-to-face with Solo Sikoa.

652
00:42:51,904 --> 00:42:56,475
[Barrett] Solo Sikoa just lurking
menacingly at all times.

653
00:42:56,509 --> 00:42:58,828
[crowd] Yeah! Yeah!

654
00:42:58,862 --> 00:43:02,299
[Tessitore] Just caving in
the front of our announce desk

655
00:43:02,332 --> 00:43:03,683
slamming his head into it.

656
00:43:03,717 --> 00:43:06,670
[Barrett] And the Megastar needs eyes
in the back of his head.

657
00:43:09,022 --> 00:43:12,292
No tactic too low down for Solo Sikoa,
that's for sure.

658
00:43:12,792 --> 00:43:15,395
[Tessitore] Big shoulder
right into the gut of Tama Tonga.

659
00:43:15,429 --> 00:43:18,080
Oh, and look at Solo
jumping onto the apron

660
00:43:18,115 --> 00:43:19,583
getting the attention of the referee,

661
00:43:19,616 --> 00:43:25,522
and with that, Tama Tanga takes
advantage as the Megastar's head

662
00:43:25,556 --> 00:43:27,691
slams into the side of the desk.

663
00:43:33,297 --> 00:43:35,232
What a crowd here in Chicago.

664
00:43:35,265 --> 00:43:38,067
Allstate Arena is sold out. Over 16,000.

665
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:41,154
And right now they are seeing
LA Knight and Tama Tonga.

666
00:43:41,188 --> 00:43:45,092
As Tama Tonga's been in control ever since
the interference on the outside

667
00:43:45,125 --> 00:43:47,243
from Solo Sikoa creating a distraction.

668
00:43:47,277 --> 00:43:50,196
But now the Megastar
is trying to fight back.

669
00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:54,334
[Barrett] It's been ruthless efficiency
from Tama Tonga,

670
00:43:54,368 --> 00:43:57,221
but write LA Knight off at your peril.

671
00:43:58,471 --> 00:44:00,123
[Tessitore] Picking up the speed.

672
00:44:02,743 --> 00:44:04,044
And a two-count.

673
00:44:04,761 --> 00:44:08,031
Big clothesline from Tama Tanga.

674
00:44:08,065 --> 00:44:10,968
[Barrett]
Almost decapitating the Megastar.

675
00:44:13,420 --> 00:44:16,056
[Tessitore] Such power by Tama Tonga.

676
00:44:16,607 --> 00:44:21,411
Of course LA Knight's been getting
a big dose of the Samoans lately.

677
00:44:21,444 --> 00:44:24,314
Two-count. Watch this moments ago, Wade.

678
00:44:24,348 --> 00:44:26,216
[Barrett] Another look at this.

679
00:44:26,250 --> 00:44:30,871
About as devastating a clothesline
as you will ever witness.

680
00:44:30,904 --> 00:44:35,275
As much as can be said
for the warped personality of Tama Tonga,

681
00:44:35,308 --> 00:44:38,228
utterly devastating in ring.

682
00:44:38,261 --> 00:44:39,846
Technically proficient.

683
00:44:39,879 --> 00:44:42,115
[Tessitore] Three weeks ago,
it was LA Knight, Braun Strowman

684
00:44:42,149 --> 00:44:45,285
and Jimmy Uso defeating Solo,
Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga.

685
00:44:45,319 --> 00:44:48,422
And then recently LA Knight
and Braun Strowman's US Title match

686
00:44:48,455 --> 00:44:50,891
was interrupted by Jacob Fatu.

687
00:44:51,959 --> 00:44:56,797
This is the second reign
as US Champion for LA Knight.

688
00:44:56,830 --> 00:44:59,333
As Tama Tonga just mocking him right now,

689
00:44:59,366 --> 00:45:02,368
coming off that second rope
trying an elbow of his own,

690
00:45:02,402 --> 00:45:04,471
but the leaping elbow does not connect

691
00:45:04,504 --> 00:45:07,089
and maybe some hope here for LA Knight.

692
00:45:07,124 --> 00:45:10,344
[Barrett] Yeah, you can pull off
a stunt like that, that mockery,

693
00:45:10,377 --> 00:45:12,779
against a lesser competitor.

694
00:45:12,813 --> 00:45:18,252
You simply cannot do that against someone
who is a bona fide United States Champion

695
00:45:18,285 --> 00:45:20,136
like the Megastar LA Knight.

696
00:45:20,170 --> 00:45:25,192
If you get a window, you gotta take it,
or else you'll get this.

697
00:45:25,225 --> 00:45:27,911
[crowd chanting] Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

698
00:45:27,944 --> 00:45:30,663
[Tessitore] And the crowd loving
every moment of it.

699
00:45:32,232 --> 00:45:33,634
LA Knight!

700
00:45:34,134 --> 00:45:37,004
[Barrett] He's feeling
that kavorka once again,

701
00:45:37,037 --> 00:45:38,872
and this crowd are lapping it up.

702
00:45:39,957 --> 00:45:41,408
[Tessitore] And neck breaker!

703
00:45:46,163 --> 00:45:52,286
As Knight with an offensive surge
as he eyes Solo Sikoa.

704
00:45:55,022 --> 00:45:58,991
[crowd] L. A. Knight. Yeah!

705
00:45:59,877 --> 00:46:02,412
[Tessitore] And drops
the elbow on Tama Tonga.

706
00:46:10,287 --> 00:46:11,855
He wants to put an end to this.

707
00:46:13,173 --> 00:46:18,362
[Barrett] As quickly as possible,
get yourself out of danger with a big W.

708
00:46:22,082 --> 00:46:25,419
-[Tessitore] Blunt Force Trauma? No.
-[Barrett] Too much left in Tama Tonga.

709
00:46:26,770 --> 00:46:29,772
[Tessitore] Oh, Solo Sikoa
up on the apron again.

710
00:46:29,806 --> 00:46:31,091
He eats a right hand.

711
00:46:31,124 --> 00:46:33,243
Oh, no. The roll up!

712
00:46:33,861 --> 00:46:35,495
And a kick out by Knight.

713
00:46:35,529 --> 00:46:37,481
[Barrett] Well,
the master plan almost worked,

714
00:46:37,513 --> 00:46:38,749
but it might backfire.

715
00:46:38,781 --> 00:46:40,750
-[crowd] Yeah!
-[Tessitore] There it is.

716
00:46:43,287 --> 00:46:44,955
-And it does.

[crowd] Yeah!

721
00:46:53,814 --> 00:46:56,033
[Barrett] Well,
what a victory for LA Knight.

722
00:46:56,066 --> 00:47:00,854
We will find out his WrestleMania
opponent later on this evening

723
00:47:00,888 --> 00:47:04,708
between Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu.

724
00:47:05,292 --> 00:47:07,627
[Tessitore] That's gonna be
Last Man Standing later.

725
00:47:10,913 --> 00:47:13,366
Excuse me, Paul, uh,
if you don't mind, has--

726
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,401
I do mind!

727
00:47:14,433 --> 00:47:16,435
-Has CM Punk given you--
-My Tribal Chief's about to arrive

728
00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:17,471
and now you're bothering me?

729
00:47:17,504 --> 00:47:19,690
Understood, but I just want to know
if CM Punk has given you any

730
00:47:19,723 --> 00:47:22,225
indication further about this favor.

731
00:47:23,125 --> 00:47:26,413
No, and I don't know why…
That he has to give me an indication

732
00:47:26,446 --> 00:47:29,249
because no matter what, the-- Why…

733
00:47:29,982 --> 00:47:31,919
Why… Why am I telling this to you?

734
00:47:32,618 --> 00:47:33,670
Come here.

735
00:47:34,337 --> 00:47:36,306
Look at me. Look at me.

736
00:47:36,339 --> 00:47:40,777
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm saying this for the record.

737
00:47:40,810 --> 00:47:44,815
CM Punk, I'm on record saying this, okay?

738
00:47:44,848 --> 00:47:49,136
No matter what the favor is

739
00:47:49,169 --> 00:47:53,173
my answer is, "Yes."

740
00:47:53,207 --> 00:47:55,591
Okay? That's it. That's it.

741
00:47:55,625 --> 00:47:59,363
So… So now you can just tell me
and get me out of this jam

742
00:47:59,395 --> 00:48:01,448
I'm having with my Tribal Chief.

743
00:48:02,015 --> 00:48:03,966
The answer is, "Yes."

744
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,071
Anything that you want,
the answer is, "Yes."

745
00:48:08,105 --> 00:48:12,926
My Tribal Chief,
you have arrived in Chicago!

746
00:48:23,687 --> 00:48:24,855

747
00:48:28,558 --> 00:48:31,345
Come on, cheer up.

748
00:48:31,377 --> 00:48:33,529
You're not happy to see me? Oh, you were…

750
00:48:34,598 --> 00:48:38,151
We were expecting
the other Shield guy, right?

751

God.

752
00:48:41,388 --> 00:48:42,471
You look horrible.

753
00:48:43,290 --> 00:48:44,324
You look awful.

754
00:48:45,209 --> 00:48:46,859
I've seen you in a bad way before.

755
00:48:46,894 --> 00:48:49,680
This might be the worst
I've ever seen you. [stammers]

756
00:48:49,712 --> 00:48:51,798
You look like you had a horrible week.

757
00:48:52,348 --> 00:48:54,685
I, on the other hand, I had a great week.

758
00:48:54,718 --> 00:48:58,672
You see, once I got away
from this big CM Punk main eventing

759
00:48:58,705 --> 00:49:02,625
WrestleMania celebration,
I was able to gain some perspective.

760
00:49:02,658 --> 00:49:05,995
I was able to formulate a plan and…

761
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,932
You know what,
I was thinking, though, Paul.

762
00:49:10,584 --> 00:49:12,419
This favor thing, man.

763
00:49:13,654 --> 00:49:16,940
Really dug yourself
into a hole here, huh? [chuckles]

764
00:49:16,973 --> 00:49:21,028
But, um, it kind of affects me too, so…

765
00:49:22,261 --> 00:49:23,997
when Roman does get here,

766
00:49:24,498 --> 00:49:25,799
you let me know.

767
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,167
Because I want to be present

768
00:49:29,002 --> 00:49:31,004
to hear what this favor is gonna be too.

769
00:49:32,839 --> 00:49:35,509
Wipe that tear away, pal.
It's gonna be all right.

770
00:49:36,777 --> 00:49:38,095

that he's only going to reveal the favor

773
00:49:43,333 --> 00:49:44,334

Okay, Charlotte,
I would like to start with you.

813
00:53:04,852 --> 00:53:09,990
Now, please give us a little more depth
as to why you chose Tiffany Stratton

814
00:53:10,022 --> 00:53:12,743
as your WrestleMania 41 opponent,

815
00:53:12,776 --> 00:53:16,864
and then also, do you still agree,
after recent interactions,

816
00:53:16,897 --> 00:53:19,199
that that was the wise choice?

817
00:53:20,968 --> 00:53:22,352
Well, here we are.

818
00:53:22,386 --> 00:53:25,239
She was begging,
and I'm the gift that keeps giving.

819
00:53:27,074 --> 00:53:30,661
She wanted a moment,
and I hadn't done any charity work lately.

820
00:53:31,578 --> 00:53:37,084
And every week
that desperation leaks through.

821
00:53:38,919 --> 00:53:40,237
No, no, no, so you're right.

822
00:53:40,270 --> 00:53:42,823
I did make the right choice.
You wanna know why?

823
00:53:42,856 --> 00:53:47,094
Because I wanted to show
the smartest wrestling fans in the world

824
00:53:47,127 --> 00:53:48,828
here in Chicago

825
00:53:48,862 --> 00:53:52,031
that there is no comparison.

827
00:53:57,638 --> 00:54:00,973
Are you done?
Wade, did she get her "woo" in?

828
00:54:01,658 --> 00:54:03,343
[crowd] Woo!

829
00:54:03,377 --> 00:54:07,381
Listen, Charlotte, your biggest competitor
has never been within this ring.

830
00:54:07,413 --> 00:54:11,734
Your biggest competitor has been them,
and no matter how hard you try,

831
00:54:11,768 --> 00:54:16,723
no matter how long you're out for,
that's a battle that you'll never win.

832
00:54:19,643 --> 00:54:22,729
And you love to put on this facade,
like nothing gets to you,

833
00:54:22,763 --> 00:54:26,950
like you're above everybody else, but then
you're crying on some boohoo talk show?

834
00:54:27,567 --> 00:54:29,036
Which one is it, Charlotte?

835
00:54:30,904 --> 00:54:35,893
And the saddest part about all of this is,
is no matter how many titles you win,

836
00:54:35,926 --> 00:54:39,395
you could break all the records,
but when it's all said and done,

837
00:54:39,428 --> 00:54:42,982
you'll always come second
to your daddy Ric Flair.

838
00:54:45,853 --> 00:54:47,453
And at WrestleMania,

839
00:54:47,486 --> 00:54:50,357
you're gonna come second to me,
Tiffany Stratton.

845
00:55:21,939 --> 00:55:24,424
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on.

846
00:55:24,457 --> 00:55:28,861
You have just regurgitated
what my last opponents have said

847
00:55:28,895 --> 00:55:30,547
the last ten years.

848
00:55:30,580 --> 00:55:35,752
You think you're the first opponent
to say that I've come second to my dad?

849
00:55:38,337 --> 00:55:41,508
No, Chicago, Tiffany
and everyone watching at home,

850
00:55:41,542 --> 00:55:43,327

-It doesn't matter if you win a hundred--

854
00:56:13,607 --> 00:56:16,844
What's the matter, Charlotte?
Cat got your tongue?

855
00:56:18,694 --> 00:56:20,948
Oh, no.
I'm sorry, they're booing so loud--

00:56:20,981 --> 00:56:22,449
[crowd boos]

857
00:56:25,051 --> 00:56:28,205

Guys, what would you like me to say?

[crowd boos]

859
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,310
Man, this is really cool
because here's the thing,

860
00:56:34,344 --> 00:56:35,812
Tiffany could win--

861
00:56:35,846 --> 00:56:37,364
[crowd boos]

862
00:56:40,466 --> 00:56:43,170
-You know… You know what, Tiffany--
-[crowd boos]

863
00:56:43,203 --> 00:56:45,538
You can go ahead and have the last word.

864
00:56:48,991 --> 00:56:52,562
Charlotte, at 25 years old,
what were you doing?

865
00:56:53,129 --> 00:56:54,982
You were trying
to become a volleyball player

866
00:56:55,015 --> 00:56:57,250
drinking in your daddy's basement.

867
00:56:57,283 --> 00:56:59,386
[crowd cheers]

868
00:56:59,419 --> 00:57:01,971
And what am I doing at 25 years old?

869
00:57:02,471 --> 00:57:07,995
I'm walking into WrestleMania
as the WWE Women's Champion.

870
00:57:08,028 --> 00:57:09,029
[crowd cheers]

871
00:57:14,051 --> 00:57:16,736
You say that this is
just another match to you?

872
00:57:17,888 --> 00:57:19,957
Seems like I've gotten to you, Charlotte.

873
00:57:22,009 --> 00:57:25,095
And your WrestleMania record
may be 4 and 3,

874
00:57:25,678 --> 00:57:28,515
and you may be the queen
inside of the ring,

875
00:57:28,549 --> 00:57:33,486
but outside of the ring,
you ain't the queen of ****.

876
00:57:34,037 --> 00:57:36,056
[imitating Tiffany] What are you saying?

877
00:57:36,089 --> 00:57:38,040
I can't hear you, Tiffy.

878
00:57:38,075 --> 00:57:41,778
It's so squeaky! I can't hear you!

879
00:57:41,812 --> 00:57:43,981
-[crowd boos]
-Like, oh, my God.

880
00:57:44,013 --> 00:57:45,382
What are you saying, Tiffy?

881
00:57:45,415 --> 00:57:48,569
And for 16 more days,
you get to call yourself

882
00:57:48,602 --> 00:57:51,654
WWE's least favorite nepo baby.

883
00:57:51,687 --> 00:57:54,341
-Congratulations.
-[normal voice] Nepo queen.

884
00:57:54,374 --> 00:57:55,908
Nepo queen.

885
00:57:56,660 --> 00:57:59,279
Number one nepo baby.

[crowd boos]

887
00:58:02,382 --> 00:58:05,919
And when I beat you
at WrestleMania, Charlotte,

888
00:58:07,037 --> 00:58:08,888
and when it's all said and done,

889
00:58:10,607 --> 00:58:13,377
you're gonna be just like you
are outside of the ring.

890
00:58:14,294 --> 00:58:15,328
Alone.

891
00:58:15,361 --> 00:58:17,413
[crowd cheers]

892
00:58:17,446 --> 00:58:19,348
What is that record? Like what?

893
00:58:20,067 --> 00:58:23,187
Zero and three? Woo!

894
00:58:23,220 --> 00:58:27,024
Hey, Tiffany.
Is that why Kaiser's in my DMs?

895
00:58:31,461 --> 00:58:33,080
["Tiffy Time" plays]

896
00:58:35,315 --> 00:58:36,466
[Tessitore] Sums it up.

897
00:58:37,149 --> 00:58:38,852
And in just two weeks,

898
00:58:39,953 --> 00:58:45,392
they'll be battling in front
of the entire world at WrestleMania 41.

899
00:58:45,424 --> 00:58:47,377
There's a new queen in town, Charlotte.

900
00:58:49,645 --> 00:58:51,481
[Tessitore] WWE Women's Championship.

901
00:58:52,415 --> 00:58:55,786
Charlotte and Tiffany
coming your way in Vegas.

902
00:59:01,741 --> 00:59:04,728
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am pleased to make a major announcement.

903
00:59:04,761 --> 00:59:07,381
In conjunction
with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce,

904
00:59:07,413 --> 00:59:09,232
next week right here on SmackDown,

905
00:59:09,265 --> 00:59:12,252
we will present to you
a Women's Tag Team Gauntlet Match

906
00:59:12,286 --> 00:59:14,971
featuring teams
from both Raw and SmackDown.

907
00:59:15,004 --> 00:59:18,308
The winners will face
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

908
00:59:18,341 --> 00:59:20,460
for the Women's Tag Team Championship

909
00:59:21,411 --> 00:59:22,828
at WrestleMania.

-[Tessitore] Wow.

911

[Tessitore] Women's Tag Team Gauntlet
to challenge Liv and Raquel.

912
00:59:33,874 --> 00:59:35,359
Speaking of tag teams,

913
00:59:37,077 --> 00:59:38,979
the Street Profits
are on top of the world.

914
00:59:39,011 --> 00:59:41,265
[Barrett] And what a hot streak
they have been on

915
00:59:41,298 --> 00:59:43,799
over the past several weeks across Europe.

[Tessitore] Street Profits,
the champs, making their way out

921
00:59:53,292 --> 00:59:57,763
to take in the match that'll
determine their next major challenge.

922
00:59:58,632 --> 01:00:01,051
[Barrett] They're ready
to take on all comers,

923
01:00:01,084 --> 01:00:05,973
but two of the best, two former champs,
go head-to-head next here on Smackdown

924
01:00:06,006 --> 01:00:07,890

as the Motor City Machine Guns
square off against DIY.

["Raise Your Fist" playing]

927
01:00:32,432 --> 01:00:33,817
[Tessitore] Motor City Machine Guns.

928
01:00:33,850 --> 01:00:36,669
[Nash] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall

929
01:00:36,703 --> 01:00:42,625
and is a WWE Tag Team Championship
number one contenders match.

930
01:00:42,658 --> 01:00:48,948
Introducing first,
with a combined weight of 412 pounds,

931
01:00:48,982 --> 01:00:52,051
Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin,

932
01:00:52,085 --> 01:00:57,156
Motor City Machine Guns!

933
01:00:57,191 --> 01:00:59,725
[Tessitore] Sabin and Shelley,
they're closing in on their goal,

934
01:00:59,759 --> 01:01:02,645
but to get there, they have to face a team
that's been their chief obstacle

935
01:01:02,678 --> 01:01:03,680
time and again.

936
01:01:03,714 --> 01:01:06,683
And the goal?
Those guys, the Street Profits.

937
01:01:07,667 --> 01:01:11,672
Tez and Dawkins sitting back
with that gold right in the front row

938
01:01:11,705 --> 01:01:13,390
-to take this in.
-["It's Our Moment" plays]

939
01:01:13,423 --> 01:01:15,225
[Barrett] Profits have looked unstoppable.

940
01:01:15,259 --> 01:01:19,162
Since returning, they've dropped both
the Motor City Machine Guns

941
01:01:19,196 --> 01:01:24,968
and this tag team several
times since January.

942
01:01:25,002 --> 01:01:28,571
You know, these two teams
want to get back to the gold ASAP.

943
01:01:28,605 --> 01:01:30,457
Well, they get
their opportunity right now.

944
01:01:32,526 --> 01:01:36,980
[Nash] Their opponents,
with a combined weight of 408 pounds,

945
01:01:37,013 --> 01:01:40,933
Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano,

946
01:01:40,968 --> 01:01:44,788
DIY!

947
01:01:44,821 --> 01:01:47,040
[Tessitore] Speaking of the Profits,
of course, three weeks ago

948
01:01:47,073 --> 01:01:49,192
when we last saw them,
and that's when Montez Ford

949
01:01:49,225 --> 01:01:52,846
was nearly scraping the ceiling
of the Olimpic Arena in Barcelona.

950
01:01:52,879 --> 01:01:57,466
From The Heavens on top of Johnny Gargano
and took the championships off DIY.

951
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:01,288
That was a sensational battle,
but now Gargano and Ciampa

952
01:02:01,321 --> 01:02:04,024
-in this spot to work their way back.
-[bell rings]

953
01:02:04,057 --> 01:02:09,046
Here we go, good tag action in a division
that's been so deep and so red hot.

954
01:02:09,078 --> 01:02:13,466
Number one contenders match
to face the Street Profits.

955
01:02:13,500 --> 01:02:17,270
[Barrett] It has been
a red-hot competitive division.

956
01:02:17,855 --> 01:02:20,841
All teams have to scratch
and claw for every opportunity.

957
01:02:30,634 --> 01:02:32,903
[Barrett] These two teams
of course both held the gold

958
01:02:32,935 --> 01:02:35,004
within the past several months.

959
01:02:35,038 --> 01:02:37,707
Such has been
the chaotic nature of this division.

960
01:02:37,741 --> 01:02:41,261
They've also been close friends
for many years,

961
01:02:41,294 --> 01:02:45,048
although that got thrown away
when DIY low blowed

962
01:02:45,082 --> 01:02:47,850
the Motor City Machine Guns
back in December

963
01:02:47,884 --> 01:02:49,185
and claimed gold from them.

964
01:02:49,219 --> 01:02:50,953
[Tessitore] Yeah,
the betrayal with Johnny Gargano.

965
01:02:50,988 --> 01:02:55,341
Third time these teams have met
for the WWE Tag Team Titles.

966
01:02:56,393 --> 01:03:00,129
Of course the current champions
played a huge role in deciding things.

967
01:03:00,163 --> 01:03:04,334
The last meeting between MCMG
and DIY, the Royal Rumble,

968
01:03:04,368 --> 01:03:06,102
that 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, Wade.

969
01:03:06,136 --> 01:03:08,488
[Barrett] And look, all of the teams
in this division

970
01:03:08,522 --> 01:03:10,374
have been bickering for months now.

971
01:03:10,406 --> 01:03:13,377
I would argue that
the Motor City Machine Guns

972
01:03:13,410 --> 01:03:15,645
perhaps had the biggest gripe of them all

973
01:03:15,678 --> 01:03:18,248
after being screwed
out of their tag title reign

974
01:03:18,281 --> 01:03:21,317
and multiple opportunities since

975
01:03:21,817 --> 01:03:25,439
due to the rampant disorder
that has been the SmackDown tag ranks.

976
01:03:25,471 --> 01:03:27,658
Well, now's the time to get back on track.

977
01:03:29,009 --> 01:03:31,861
[Tessitore] Shelley has no problem
delivering right hands.

978
01:03:33,513 --> 01:03:36,299
And a little something extra
for Johnny Gargano.

979
01:03:36,332 --> 01:03:39,102
[Barrett] I think Johnny Gargano
might have earned that with that low blow

980
01:03:39,136 --> 01:03:40,687
a couple of months ago.

981
01:03:40,721 --> 01:03:43,223
Must have felt pretty sweet
there for Alex Shelley.

982
01:03:46,577 --> 01:03:47,928
[Tessitore] Out onto the floor.

983
01:03:49,997 --> 01:03:53,567
[Barrett] Four cardio machines
in this ring right now.

984
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,486
Ciampa perhaps being
the fittest of them all looking--

985
01:03:57,037 --> 01:04:02,542
[Tessitore] Oh! The slingshot spear
from Johnny Gargano.

986
01:04:07,381 --> 01:04:09,700
[Tessitore] Joe and Wade with you here
in Chicago.

987
01:04:09,732 --> 01:04:12,219
-This is the number one contender's match.
-[Barrett] Oh!

988
01:04:12,252 --> 01:04:16,506
[Tessitore] WWE tag team championship
opportunity awaits.

989
01:04:16,540 --> 01:04:20,594
Off the top rope, crossbody!
Good work by Chris Sabin.

990
01:04:20,627 --> 01:04:24,515
[Barrett] Well, it was about fives minutes
straight of abuse on poor Alex Shelley

991
01:04:24,548 --> 01:04:28,868
who finally got his way over to that tag
and got in the fresh Chris Sabin,

992
01:04:28,902 --> 01:04:31,821
and the complexion
of the match completely changed.

993
01:04:32,573 --> 01:04:37,176
[Tessitore] How about Sabin breaking loose
against both Ciampa and Gargano.

994
01:04:37,211 --> 01:04:40,247
[Barrett] Well, when your tag-team partner
has taken the kind of beating

995
01:04:40,279 --> 01:04:41,964
Shelley has already absorbed,

996
01:04:41,999 --> 01:04:45,035
you kind of know the deal,
you might have to do this on your own,

997
01:04:45,067 --> 01:04:47,504
although Shelley, seemingly,
back in the mix already.

998
01:04:47,538 --> 01:04:49,189
[Tessitore] You saw the champs looking on.

999
01:04:49,223 --> 01:04:50,640
Five-hole to the outside!

1000
01:04:51,457 --> 01:04:57,364
Street Profits are the prize for these two
former tag-team championship teams,

1001
01:04:57,397 --> 01:05:01,234
DIY and the Motor City Machine Guns.

1002
01:05:01,268 --> 01:05:03,337
[Barrett] Motor City Machine Guns
just innovators

1003
01:05:03,370 --> 01:05:05,455
of that modern cruiserweight style.

1004
01:05:05,489 --> 01:05:09,125
Kind of guys that the locker room
today had studied for years

1005
01:05:09,158 --> 01:05:11,345
before they arrived here on SmackDown.

1006
01:05:11,377 --> 01:05:16,250
We're now getting a taste of exactly
why their reputations are so huge.

1007
01:05:16,283 --> 01:05:19,435
[Tessitore] This is exactly what
you're describing, into the cover,

1008
01:05:19,468 --> 01:05:21,872
looking for the win
to become number one contenders,

1009
01:05:21,904 --> 01:05:24,725
but the kick out at two by Tommaso Ciampa.

1010
01:05:24,758 --> 01:05:28,060
[Barrett] There's so much at stake,
and I promise you this,

1011
01:05:28,095 --> 01:05:30,797
throughout their long careers,
the Motor City Machine Guns…

1012
01:05:30,830 --> 01:05:34,100
As we take another look at the champs.
The Street Profits sat at ringside.

1013
01:05:34,134 --> 01:05:38,020
They have never experienced
anything quite as chaotic

1014
01:05:38,055 --> 01:05:40,807
-as the tag ranks here as you can see…
-[Tessitore] Oh.

1015
01:05:40,841 --> 01:05:41,841
[Tessitore] Man, oh, man.

1016
01:05:41,875 --> 01:05:44,077
Johnny Gargano breaking up
what could have been

1017
01:05:44,111 --> 01:05:48,080
a Skull and Bones attempt
by Motor City Machine Guns, Wade.

1018
01:05:48,115 --> 01:05:51,768
[Barrett] Looks like we're in the process
of Chris Sabin crashing down there.

1019
01:05:51,801 --> 01:05:56,056
-The turnbuckle got ripped off.
-[Tessitore] Well, that's exposed now.

1020
01:05:56,089 --> 01:05:58,975
That top turnbuckle is completely off.

1021
01:06:00,377 --> 01:06:03,330
-[Barrett] Oh.
-And it's an exposed top turnbuckle.

1022
01:06:03,881 --> 01:06:05,883
[Tessitore] Oh, he tries to ram his head
right into it.

1023
01:06:05,915 --> 01:06:08,519
[Barrett] Well, you see what Ciampa
was doing with that high ring IQ…

1024
01:06:08,551 --> 01:06:09,819
[Tessitore] There's the roll up!

1025
01:06:09,852 --> 01:06:11,705
…almost backfired on him,
taking the referee's…

1026
01:06:11,738 --> 01:06:13,173
[Tessitore] Oh, what a big knee.

1027
01:06:13,207 --> 01:06:16,009
[Barrett] …attention away
and trying to use that exposed turnbuckle.

1028
01:06:20,279 --> 01:06:22,533
[Tessitore] Those knees right
to the lower back.

1029
01:06:22,566 --> 01:06:24,535
Hook of the leg for the win,

1030
01:06:24,567 --> 01:06:26,203
-and the kick out.
-[Barrett] Oh.

1031
01:06:26,236 --> 01:06:28,337
[Barrett] Late kick out there
from Chris Sabin

1032
01:06:28,372 --> 01:06:31,174
after that connection from Project Ciampa

1033
01:06:31,207 --> 01:06:35,546

both here and on NXT.

01:06:42,352 --> 01:06:45,672
And coming in to make the save
is Alex Shelley.

1037
01:06:45,705 --> 01:06:49,276
A fairy tale ending
to a nightmare for DIY.

1038
01:06:49,308 --> 01:06:52,078
[Barrett] Well, we're seeing
the greatest hits of DIY right now,

1039
01:06:52,111 --> 01:06:56,149
but it's not been enough thus far
to put away the Motor City Machine Guns

1040
01:06:56,183 --> 01:06:58,484
and claim that number one
contender's spot.

1041
01:06:59,252 --> 01:07:01,254
Although surely the end is nigh, Joe.

1042
01:07:01,288 --> 01:07:03,140
[Tessitore] Remember,
Meeting in the Middle backfired

1043
01:07:03,173 --> 01:07:04,390
last time they went for it.

1044
01:07:05,174 --> 01:07:07,027
Oh, and getting out of the way.

1045
01:07:08,812 --> 01:07:11,163
Ciampa with the switch.

1046
01:07:11,198 --> 01:07:14,468
[Barrett] I don't know how Chris Sabin
is still standing at this point.

1047
01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:17,370
[Tessitore] Uncanny ability
to go two-on-one and take advantage.

1048
01:07:18,739 --> 01:07:21,140
And now lining up the facial
and delivering it!

1049
01:07:21,174 --> 01:07:25,345
[Barrett] What a beauty,
right to the kisser of Tommaso Ciampa.

1050
01:07:25,913 --> 01:07:28,415
And now defenseless is the Sicilian.

1051
01:07:28,448 --> 01:07:30,817
[Tessitore] And now
the Skull and Bones attempt.

1052
01:07:30,850 --> 01:07:32,452
Again is denied!

1053
01:07:33,904 --> 01:07:34,904
That's two times.

Here's the roll up.

Ciampa utilizing the ropes.

1056

[Barrett] That's a veteran referee,

1057
01:07:40,544 --> 01:07:43,212
Charles Robinson,
you don't get much past him.

1058
01:07:43,830 --> 01:07:45,299
Worth a try at least.

1061
01:07:50,803 --> 01:07:52,038
It got him right on the head

1062
01:07:52,071 --> 01:07:53,589
-and it cost them.

[Barrett] Well, that turned
into complete disaster

1067
01:08:05,669 --> 01:08:10,691
after Ciampa's skull rattled
off that exposed turnbuckle.

1068
01:08:11,692 --> 01:08:14,127
Let's take another look
at how this went down.

1069
01:08:14,727 --> 01:08:18,549
This is where Ciampa thought he pulled
the wool over Charles Robinson's eyes.

1070
01:08:18,581 --> 01:08:21,285
Charles Robinson too smart,
but here's where it went wrong.

1071
01:08:21,318 --> 01:08:26,740
Face first into the exposed turnbuckle,
a tight high-pin by Chris Sabin.

1072
01:08:26,773 --> 01:08:31,377
We have new number one contenders,
and the Motor City Machine Guns

1073
01:08:31,411 --> 01:08:34,180
have got eyes on the champs,
The Street Profits.

1074
01:08:34,214 --> 01:08:35,566

and fumbling at the one-yard line.

Yeah, yeah, you've had so many partners

and now you're here
with a younger, hotter model.

You're basically the Leonardo DiCaprio
of tag-team wrestling.

1105

being relegated to the Miz.

she has such upside,

but then you add in the fuel
of intensity and emotion and passion

and you see the results she did.

01:13:48,862 --> 01:13:53,567
[Barrett] Just the playbook of B-Fab
gets deeper and deeper by the week.

1173
01:13:53,599 --> 01:13:57,971
This is a woman who hasn't had
too many opportunities,

1174
01:13:58,005 --> 01:14:00,340
but everyone she's had of late,
she has impressed.

1175
01:14:00,374 --> 01:14:04,077
You mentioned the matchup
several weeks ago with Charlotte Flair,

1176
01:14:04,111 --> 01:14:07,630
and how B-Fab really held her own
and she's doing the same here,

1177
01:14:07,664 --> 01:14:10,601
more than the same perhaps, against Naomi.

1178
01:14:10,634 --> 01:14:13,853
[Tessitore] Oh, she's
in a very compromised position though,

1179
01:14:14,788 --> 01:14:17,791
with her legs strung up
over that top rope.

1180
01:14:17,824 --> 01:14:24,130
And now Naomi
is gonna hang her straight down.

1181
01:14:24,848 --> 01:14:28,018
Oh, and the damage that's done
to hit the back of her head

1182
01:14:28,050 --> 01:14:31,054
and upper back against the corner.

1183
01:14:31,088 --> 01:14:34,208
[Barrett] Yeah, the clues are there.
Proceed with caution.

1184
01:14:34,241 --> 01:14:39,146
The nice girl is gone.
2025's Naomi is highly volatile.

1185
01:14:39,179 --> 01:14:42,950
[Tessitore] Oh, would you look at that,
that modified Lung Blower.

1186
01:14:42,983 --> 01:14:44,117
And now the cover.

1187
01:14:44,952 --> 01:14:46,420
-[bell rings]
-[crowd cheers]

1188
01:14:46,452 --> 01:14:51,425
-[Nash] Here is your winner, Naomi!
-["Glow" playing]

1189
01:14:51,458 --> 01:14:55,913
[Barrett] Well, surely mentally shot
after that start by Jade Cargill,

1190
01:14:55,946 --> 01:14:58,331
but talk about expanding your playbook.

1191
01:14:58,365 --> 01:15:00,450
Have a look at this,
you called it right, Joe,

1192
01:15:00,483 --> 01:15:04,221
a modified kneeling Lung Blower
from Naomi.

1193
01:15:04,254 --> 01:15:08,559
We haven't seen that from her before,
clearly expanding her arsenal.

1194
01:15:09,643 --> 01:15:13,647
Ahead of what is surely
an inevitable clash with Jade Cargill.

1195
01:15:13,679 --> 01:15:15,599
Where you at, Jade?

1196
01:15:15,632 --> 01:15:17,885
-I'm still standing!
-[crowd cheers]

1197
01:15:17,918 --> 01:15:20,771
-[Tessitore] She calls out Jade Cargill.
-I'm still standing!

1198
01:15:20,804 --> 01:15:22,806
[Tessitore] Oh, she found out
where she's at!

1199
01:15:23,674 --> 01:15:26,593
What a big boot by Jade.

1200
01:15:29,963 --> 01:15:32,749
And now security, they're trying to…

1201
01:15:35,402 --> 01:15:38,422
get Jade there,
and she's taking out security.

1202
01:15:38,455 --> 01:15:43,577
Would you look at Jade Cargill?
She's doing damage to anybody in sight.

1203
01:15:44,077 --> 01:15:46,263
Absolutely enraged.

1204
01:15:46,295 --> 01:15:49,633
[Barrett] Well, they put their bodies
on the line protecting Naomi,

1205
01:15:49,666 --> 01:15:53,253
-but I think they'll regret it.
-[Aldis] Okay, all right, ladies.

1206
01:15:53,286 --> 01:15:57,391
I have had just about enough of this,

1207
01:15:57,424 --> 01:16:02,478
and I can see that there
is really only one solution.

1208
01:16:06,700 --> 01:16:08,684
And that solution is this,

1209
01:16:09,603 --> 01:16:14,558
Naomi will go one-on-one
with Jade Cargill…

1210
01:16:16,276 --> 01:16:18,846
-at WrestleMania.
-[crowd cheers]

1211
01:16:18,879 --> 01:16:20,347
[Tessitore] Oh, let's do it!

1212
01:16:23,750 --> 01:16:27,420
[Barrett] It seems both women
got exactly what they wanted

1213
01:16:27,454 --> 01:16:29,255
from GM Nick Aldis,

1214
01:16:29,289 --> 01:16:31,825
in fact, planet earth
got what they wanted.

1215
01:16:31,858 --> 01:16:38,148
WrestleMania 41,
Jade Cargill and Naomi head-to-head!

1216
01:16:38,182 --> 01:16:41,869
[Tessitore] From proceed with caution
to step into the storm.

1217
01:16:41,902 --> 01:16:43,719
We'll see them in Vegas!

1218
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:51,594
Drew McIntyre.

1219
01:16:52,446 --> 01:16:56,416
The victim, no holes in your logic, right?

1220
01:16:56,450 --> 01:16:59,086
WrestleMania 40, you had your moment.

1221
01:17:00,454 --> 01:17:02,656
But your weird obsession
took you to CM Punk,

1222
01:17:03,389 --> 01:17:05,092
and he ended up clowning your ass.

1223
01:17:05,125 --> 01:17:06,159
I did my job.

1224
01:17:06,193 --> 01:17:08,228
As Señor Money In The Bank,

1225
01:17:08,262 --> 01:17:12,266
I cashed in and became world champion
at WrestleMania.

1226
01:17:12,299 --> 01:17:15,251
You screwed yourself,
but I'm the villain, right?

1227
01:17:15,285 --> 01:17:16,436
Clash at the Castle.

1228
01:17:16,469 --> 01:17:17,771
It should have been about us,

1229
01:17:17,804 --> 01:17:21,108
but this weird obsession
you couldn't let go of, it followed you.

1230
01:17:21,141 --> 01:17:23,943
I did my job and remained
world heavyweight champion.

1231
01:17:23,977 --> 01:17:26,463
You screwed yourself,
but I'm the villain, right?

1232
01:17:27,431 --> 01:17:28,782
Money in the Bank.

1233
01:17:28,815 --> 01:17:30,450
You should have been focused
on the moment.

1234
01:17:30,483 --> 01:17:35,672
You tried to cash in,
but your baggage once again followed you.

1235
01:17:35,706 --> 01:17:36,790
I remained champion.

1236
01:17:36,822 --> 01:17:40,878
You screwed yourself,
but I'm the villain, right?

1237
01:17:41,661 --> 01:17:46,800
Rumble, Chamber, I eliminated you
from both, plain and simple.

1238
01:17:47,834 --> 01:17:50,804
Then you attack me like a coward

1239
01:17:50,837 --> 01:17:53,740
and you cost me my shot
at main eventing WrestleMania.

1240
01:17:53,773 --> 01:17:56,577
You know what you are, Drew?
You're a hypocrite.

1241
01:17:56,610 --> 01:17:59,413
You make excuses, you **** and complain,

1242
01:17:59,446 --> 01:18:03,166
and you point your finger
at everybody else other than yourself.

1243
01:18:03,684 --> 01:18:06,253
I know what you are, Drew.
You're a junkie.

1244
01:18:06,286 --> 01:18:08,222
You get off on this high

1245
01:18:08,255 --> 01:18:11,758
from telling stupid-ass jokes every week
for a cheap-ass pop,

1246
01:18:11,791 --> 01:18:16,096
and you play the victim every damn week.

1247
01:18:16,129 --> 01:18:19,183
You don't have to paint me
as the villain of your story anymore.

1248
01:18:19,215 --> 01:18:20,601
I am your villain.

1249
01:18:21,285 --> 01:18:26,974
The time to pray is now, Drew.
No looking for me in the shadows.

1250
01:18:27,007 --> 01:18:32,446
Look for me in the middle of the ring
next week, face-to-face, eye-to-eye,

1251
01:18:32,478 --> 01:18:35,898
because I want you
to stop playing the victim.

1252
01:18:37,317 --> 01:18:42,139
And become my victim at WrestleMania.

1253
01:18:47,126 --> 01:18:48,695
[Tessitore] Fired up Damian Priest.

1254
01:18:48,728 --> 01:18:52,766
And from that to the complexities
of Kevin Owens,

1255
01:18:52,799 --> 01:18:55,552
they have been countless in recent months.

1256
01:18:55,586 --> 01:18:58,054
What will Kevin Owens have to say now?

1257
01:18:59,056 --> 01:19:00,157
That is next.

1258
01:19:05,329 --> 01:19:09,916
Well, folks, this is a part of my job

1259
01:19:09,950 --> 01:19:12,952
that frankly is not very fun.

1260
01:19:14,021 --> 01:19:20,043
Um, in this industry, there's a fine line

1261
01:19:20,861 --> 01:19:25,264
between coming back next week
like everything's fine

1262
01:19:26,416 --> 01:19:30,120
and finding out that potentially
you may never set foot in this ring again.

1263
01:19:32,505 --> 01:19:33,907
It's a cliché,

1264
01:19:34,925 --> 01:19:38,529
but there's a reason that we say,
"Don't try this at home."

1265
01:19:40,964 --> 01:19:43,166
I don't want to say much more

1266
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,036
because I'd rather you hear it
from the man himself,

1267
01:19:47,070 --> 01:19:53,293
but ladies and gentlemen,
please join me in welcoming Kevin Owens.

1268
01:19:56,063 --> 01:19:57,648
["Fight" playing]

1269

[crowd cheers]

1270
01:20:14,464 --> 01:20:18,919
[Barrett] Well, after that ominous warning
from GM Nick Aldis.

1271
01:20:20,286 --> 01:20:25,791
KO looking bitter and dejected,
but that has been his demeanor of late.

1272
01:20:27,044 --> 01:20:30,681
It's very hard to get a read on KO
at the best of times.

1273
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:44,760
Um…

1274
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,418
I've been doing this for 25 years and, um,

1275
01:20:52,251 --> 01:20:57,157
I think I can say confidently
that for those 25 years,

1276
01:20:57,191 --> 01:21:01,628
I really gave everything I had,
every time I stepped foot in this ring.

1277
01:21:02,862 --> 01:21:06,617
And, uh, in those 25 years
because of this industry,

1278
01:21:06,650 --> 01:21:11,004
I've gotten to live incredible things
and experience things I'll never forget.

1279
01:21:11,038 --> 01:21:13,357
I've had the chance
to take care of my family

1280
01:21:13,389 --> 01:21:15,909
in a way that I could
have only dreamed of.

1281
01:21:17,710 --> 01:21:20,429
But, um, there's a…

1282
01:21:20,464 --> 01:21:26,219
there's a price to pay
for that amazing opportunity.

1283
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,740
And that's the toll
it takes on our bodies.

1284
01:21:29,773 --> 01:21:36,263
Every single guy and girl back there
has paid that price at different times,

1285
01:21:36,295 --> 01:21:39,398
and, uh, now it seems like it's my turn.

1286
01:21:41,068 --> 01:21:46,373
Because, um, the reality is,
for the last four months or so,

1287
01:21:46,406 --> 01:21:49,108
I've been dealing with
a pretty serious neck injury.

1288
01:21:49,943 --> 01:21:54,447
And, um, we didn't know what it was,
we didn't really know how serious it was.

1289
01:21:54,481 --> 01:21:57,184
Thankfully this week
we managed to figure it out,

1290
01:21:57,217 --> 01:21:59,570
and now I have to go get neck surgery.

1291
01:22:00,821 --> 01:22:03,874
So that's what I'm going to do.

1292
01:22:05,092 --> 01:22:07,911
Um, and the timing couldn't be worse

1293
01:22:07,945 --> 01:22:11,498
'cause let me tell you,

1294
01:22:12,366 --> 01:22:16,053
not getting to be
in the ring with Randy Orton

1295
01:22:16,085 --> 01:22:18,322
at WrestleMania really sucks.

1296
01:22:20,174 --> 01:22:25,996
And, um, I'm really thankful for WWE.

1297
01:22:27,431 --> 01:22:30,867
For allowing me to come out here in front
of you guys and telling you all that,

1298
01:22:30,901 --> 01:22:36,540
because the truth is
I don't know when I'll have the privilege

1299
01:22:36,572 --> 01:22:38,592
to be in front of you guys again.

1300
01:22:41,777 --> 01:22:43,697
What I do know is, um,

1301
01:22:45,432 --> 01:22:50,219
the last few years I've learned
not to take anything for granted,

1302
01:22:50,254 --> 01:22:54,508
and I will never take this for granted.

all the way back to Montreal.

[Tessitore] That explosive return
to the ring we saw,

1325
01:24:33,340 --> 01:24:35,559
in Toronto at Elimination Chamber.

1326
01:24:38,178 --> 01:24:39,780
The heated exchanges,

1327
01:24:39,813 --> 01:24:44,384
and now the news that Kevin Owens
just delivered here in Chicago.

1328
01:24:45,719 --> 01:24:49,289
That they'll be unable
to meet in the ring at WrestleMania.

1329
01:24:49,322 --> 01:24:53,160

of respect there from Randy Orton

that he may be burning with hatred.

Now, what's interesting, Wade,

1409
01:31:06,967 --> 01:31:09,902
is that Braun Strowman has never lost
a last man standing match,

the running power slam,

and now comes with the elbow.

1420

taken major chunks out…

and it's over for Fatu,

to challenge LA Knight.

that table in the corner.

but the super kick helps.

and leaning up against our announce desk.

1462
01:34:15,572 --> 01:34:18,308
Oh, and Fatu goes flying,

1463
01:34:18,342 --> 01:34:23,197
and the Monster is laid out
on the floor over the desk!

1464
01:34:25,749 --> 01:34:29,969
[Barrett] Well, Fatu also taking
an incredibly heavy landing,

1465
01:34:30,003 --> 01:34:31,455
but he's up first.

1466
01:34:31,487 --> 01:34:34,458
[Tessitore] And remember,

the absolute master at this kind of match,

1470
01:34:44,684 --> 01:34:46,853
but he may be beaten at his own game here.

1471
01:34:48,205 --> 01:34:52,476

a last man standing match.

1472

an opponent like Jacob Fatu, however,

1480
01:35:23,624 --> 01:35:29,161

at full speed is stirring already…

1481

What an impact!

1486
01:35:48,949 --> 01:35:54,888
[Tessitore] He went full speed,
all that weight, all that momentum,

1487

Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman.

1497
01:36:27,621 --> 01:36:31,808
Braun Strowman's been in complete control
the last three or four minutes,

1498
01:36:31,842 --> 01:36:34,126
attacking Fatu with steel chairs.

1499
01:36:34,161 --> 01:36:36,530
And now he's got him
up on top of the crate.

1500
01:36:36,563 --> 01:36:42,068
He is up high atop the crate
at the edge of that lower bowl.

1501
01:36:42,102 --> 01:36:45,755
[Barrett] Strowman may be unbeatable
in this kind of matchup.

1502
01:36:45,789 --> 01:36:46,790
[Tessitore] No!

1503
01:36:47,456 --> 01:36:49,209
Suplex from there!

1504
01:36:49,242 --> 01:36:51,228
Oh, my!

1505
01:36:51,911 --> 01:36:55,883
Can you believe
what we're witnessing in Chicago?

1506
01:36:55,916 --> 01:36:58,302
They can't. Nobody can.

1507
01:37:01,205 --> 01:37:06,076
Remember, they must beat the count of ten.

1508
01:37:06,826 --> 01:37:09,478
It's last man standing rules.

1509
01:37:12,032 --> 01:37:14,985
[Barrett] It looks like it took
as much out of Braun Strowman

1510
01:37:15,018 --> 01:37:16,486
as it did Jacob Fatu,

1511
01:37:16,519 --> 01:37:18,871
and the count is getting high.

1512
01:37:20,474 --> 01:37:22,226
[Tessitore] They gotta get up here!

1513
01:37:23,677 --> 01:37:25,779
It continues on!

1514
01:37:25,812 --> 01:37:27,798
But Fatu's in a world of hurt.

1515
01:37:27,831 --> 01:37:32,786
[Barrett] Take another look at this
as both men come crashing down.

1516
01:37:33,337 --> 01:37:36,039
From extreme height through our set.

1517
01:37:37,107 --> 01:37:43,030
Somehow, some way, making it back
to their feet before the count of ten.

1518
01:37:43,780 --> 01:37:47,183
And this matchup
with these two competitors,

1519
01:37:47,217 --> 01:37:50,737
after what we've seen,
may well go on all night.

1520
01:37:50,771 --> 01:37:55,425
I cannot see either man
staying down for the count.

1521
01:37:55,459 --> 01:37:59,279
[Tessitore] They both are struggling
to stay up on their feet.

1522
01:37:59,313 --> 01:38:02,516
I don't know if Fatu
even knows where he is.

1523
01:38:02,549 --> 01:38:07,404
Strowman's limping badly on that left leg.
Both men are damaged.

1524
01:38:07,437 --> 01:38:09,723
[Barrett] Strowman promised me
earlier today

1525
01:38:09,755 --> 01:38:15,279
that he had a silver bullet
for this Samoan Werewolf.

1526
01:38:15,312 --> 01:38:18,065
If connects with one of his big hitters,

1527
01:38:18,849 --> 01:38:21,934
like the power slam, he believes,

1528
01:38:23,519 --> 01:38:26,423
Jacob Fatu will be down for the count.

1529
01:38:28,025 --> 01:38:31,945
Although after the amount of abuse
already absorbed by the Samoan,

1530
01:38:31,978 --> 01:38:34,548
-I don't… [screams]
-[Tessitore] What?

1531
01:38:35,081 --> 01:38:38,384
Fatu, running hip-attack

1532
01:38:38,418 --> 01:38:41,972
puts Strowman right through the table.

1533
01:38:42,005 --> 01:38:43,257
This may be it!

1534
01:38:46,210 --> 01:38:50,697
They are wrapped up in a broken table.

1535
01:38:58,589 --> 01:39:00,657
Ten count pending.

1536
01:39:05,512 --> 01:39:07,047
-[Barrett] It's over!
-[bell rings]

1537
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:08,932
[Tessitore] It's over, it's over!

1538
01:39:08,965 --> 01:39:10,750
["Samoan Destroyer" playing]

1539
01:39:10,784 --> 01:39:17,206
[Nash] Here is your winner
and the last man standing,

1540
01:39:17,241 --> 01:39:22,112
Jacob Fatu!

1541
01:39:22,144 --> 01:39:26,099
[Tessitore] That shattered table taco

1542
01:39:26,133 --> 01:39:29,786
that Strowman
could not unearth himself from.

1543
01:39:31,889 --> 01:39:35,325
[Barrett] The impossible
was possible tonight,

1544
01:39:35,358 --> 01:39:40,147
after all this chaos,
carnage and destruction,

1545
01:39:40,179 --> 01:39:44,401
Jacob Fatu has done the unthinkable

1546
01:39:44,433 --> 01:39:48,804
and beaten Braun Strowman with that move.

1547
01:39:48,839 --> 01:39:54,260
[Tessitore] Look at how the table was
just wrapped around Strowman like a shell,

1548
01:39:54,294 --> 01:39:56,929
and he couldn't beat the ten count.

1549
01:39:56,964 --> 01:39:59,233
[Barrett] And the legend of Jacob Fatu,

1550
01:39:59,266 --> 01:40:05,105
this cold, violent barbarian
grows further by the week.

1551
01:40:05,138 --> 01:40:11,827
Jacob Fatu is heading to WrestleMania
to challenge the United States Champion,

1552
01:40:11,862 --> 01:40:13,362
LA Knight.

1553
01:40:14,014 --> 01:40:18,552
[Tessitore] Wade, that was too good.
That was just too good.

1554
01:40:18,585 --> 01:40:21,505
[Barrett] I don't think I can take
something like that every week.

1555
01:40:24,508 --> 01:40:28,728
We'll take a look at what transpired
between Cody Rhodes

1556
01:40:28,762 --> 01:40:32,449
and John Cena, this past Monday, next.

1557
01:40:43,192 --> 01:40:48,465
[Rhodes] I think for the last two weeks
you have lied to this audience.

1558
01:40:50,834 --> 01:40:54,404
Tell them, John Cena, really, why?

1559
01:40:55,889 --> 01:41:02,429
They've been saying for years
that John Cena buries talent.

1560
01:41:03,630 --> 01:41:06,133
I don't bury talent.

1561
01:41:06,166 --> 01:41:08,768
I am talent!

1562
01:41:10,003 --> 01:41:12,873
I bury mediocrity!

1563
01:41:13,607 --> 01:41:17,277
You with that disgusts me.

1564
01:41:19,396 --> 01:41:23,400
You have manipulated your way
to the top of this business,

1565
01:41:23,433 --> 01:41:27,221
and your ego outmatches your ability.

1566
01:41:27,254 --> 01:41:29,740
You sat by my side for years

1567
01:41:29,773 --> 01:41:33,893
and stole every secret you need
to be undeniable,

1568
01:41:33,927 --> 01:41:37,164
but you are still underwhelming.

1569
01:41:38,465 --> 01:41:41,168
You have showed me one thing.

1570
01:41:41,201 --> 01:41:45,472
That someone mediocre
wearing something meaningful

1571
01:41:45,505 --> 01:41:48,674
nowadays is enough to trick these people.

1572
01:41:49,442 --> 01:41:54,665
I have worked too damn hard
to make that a symbol of mastery

1573
01:41:54,697 --> 01:41:56,400
to have it paraded around

1574
01:41:56,433 --> 01:42:00,003
by a paint-by-numbers,
sociopathic, nepo baby,

1575
01:42:00,036 --> 01:42:02,022
who is so into himself

1576
01:42:02,054 --> 01:42:06,360
he had his wrestling gimmick
tattooed for the world to see.

1577
01:42:08,695 --> 01:42:11,865
It's not where your tattoo's at, Cody.

1578
01:42:12,866 --> 01:42:14,500
It's what your tattoo is,

1579
01:42:14,535 --> 01:42:18,222
that exposes you to the world
for who you are,

1580
01:42:18,255 --> 01:42:20,907
a common fan like them.

1581
01:42:21,608 --> 01:42:23,076
So after WrestleMania,

1582
01:42:23,110 --> 01:42:26,746
the last real champion
is taking that home forever,

1583
01:42:26,780 --> 01:42:29,566
and exposing you for who you are.

1584
01:42:31,117 --> 01:42:33,954
An errand boy that got lucky.

1585
01:42:38,325 --> 01:42:41,862
Maybe I was chosen.

1586
01:42:41,894 --> 01:42:44,380
[crowd chanting] Cody, Cody Rhodes.

1587
01:42:44,414 --> 01:42:46,416
But you know who chose me?

1588
01:42:46,450 --> 01:42:49,119
[chanting continues]

1589
01:42:49,152 --> 01:42:50,670
They chose me.

1590
01:42:53,340 --> 01:42:56,175
Can you say the same, John Cena?

1591
01:42:56,210 --> 01:43:00,330
Or was it one guy in an office
who chose you who's not here anymore

1592
01:43:00,364 --> 01:43:01,682
and we don't talk about it?

1593
01:43:05,352 --> 01:43:06,687
I'm Cody Rhodes.

1594
01:43:06,719 --> 01:43:12,159
I'm a wrestler like my father before me,
and if anybody is a company creation,

1595
01:43:12,192 --> 01:43:15,512
it's you, John Cena, and not me.

1596
01:43:17,848 --> 01:43:19,833
Here's what you created, pal.

1597
01:43:19,866 --> 01:43:23,402
You created a lot of disenfranchised fans

1598
01:43:23,437 --> 01:43:27,708
who made it easy for me to pack up
and go elsewhere and say,

1599
01:43:27,741 --> 01:43:29,108
"Hey, look at me."

1600
01:43:29,142 --> 01:43:31,344
Don't act like you cleaned up your room

1601
01:43:31,378 --> 01:43:33,530
before you left
and went to Hollywood, John.

1602
01:43:33,563 --> 01:43:37,617
Don't act like you left WWE
better than you found it.

1603
01:43:37,651 --> 01:43:39,286
And while we're at it.

1604
01:43:39,820 --> 01:43:43,090
Which one of us sold out to the Rock?

1605
01:43:46,026 --> 01:43:49,429
John, you're still my hero.

1606
01:43:51,598 --> 01:43:53,634
But you're also a piece of [bleep].

1607
01:44:00,206 --> 01:44:06,163
You had to leave because you realized
at your best you can't wipe my ass.

1608
01:44:07,313 --> 01:44:11,552
I make empires for billionaires.

1609
01:44:12,085 --> 01:44:14,821
All you've ever done
is steal money from their kids.

1610
01:44:18,458 --> 01:44:20,561
See you at WrestleMania, champ.

1611
01:44:21,762 --> 01:44:26,200
In all the time that I have been here
and everything I've been through,

1612
01:44:26,232 --> 01:44:32,873
never once have they chanted at me,
"You can't wrestle."

1613
01:44:34,741 --> 01:44:36,108
[crowd chanting] You can't wrestle!

1614
01:44:41,782 --> 01:44:43,717
[Cole] Cena went for a cheap shot!

1615
01:44:44,518 --> 01:44:45,751
Cross Rhodes!

1616
01:44:50,290 --> 01:44:53,227
[crowd chanting] Cody, Cody Rhodes!

1617
01:45:01,250 --> 01:45:02,753
Excuse me, Paul.

1618
01:45:02,786 --> 01:45:04,504
Sorry to bug you again,

1619
01:45:04,538 --> 01:45:06,039
-but…
-Why are you?

1620
01:45:06,072 --> 01:45:09,375
…can you update us on when exactly
Roman Reigns is going to arrive?

1621
01:45:09,409 --> 01:45:12,813
[imitates Saxton] Can you update us
when Roman Reigns is gonna arrive?

1622
01:45:15,465 --> 01:45:16,717
Any minute.

1623
01:45:19,835 --> 01:45:20,837
Any minute.

1624
01:45:20,871 --> 01:45:22,039
Thank you, Paul.

1625
01:45:51,250 --> 01:45:53,820
-My tribal chief, my tribal chief?
-[crowd cheers]

1626
01:45:55,572 --> 01:45:57,090
[Tessitore] Not a word spoken.

1627
01:45:59,409 --> 01:46:02,579
Remember, CM Punk said he will
be ready to reveal the favor

1628
01:46:03,230 --> 01:46:05,215
when Roman Reigns arrives.

1629
01:46:05,249 --> 01:46:08,585
Well, Roman Reigns is now here
at the Allstate Arena.

1630
01:46:09,402 --> 01:46:11,405
["I Am Greatness" playing]

1631
01:46:42,719 --> 01:46:44,871
[Tessitore] That stride's
with extreme purpose, isn't it?

1632
01:46:44,905 --> 01:46:47,590
[Barrett] I was gonna say
this is a power walking,

1633
01:46:47,624 --> 01:46:51,844
apparently, pyro-free tribal chief.

1634
01:46:52,462 --> 01:46:55,566
It's been a long time
since we've seen that,

1635
01:46:55,599 --> 01:47:00,404
and that means things are
deadly serious in the mind of the OTC.

1636
01:47:04,391 --> 01:47:07,326
[crowd chanting] OTC, OTC, OTC!

1637
01:47:14,201 --> 01:47:16,637
Chicago!

01:47:16,670 --> 01:47:18,839

1639
01:47:23,994 --> 01:47:25,812
Acknowledge me!

1640
01:47:34,987 --> 01:47:37,941
[crowd chanting] OTC, OTC, OTC!

1641
01:47:43,112 --> 01:47:46,316
-Wiseman.
-Yes, my tribal chief.

1642
01:47:49,635 --> 01:47:50,888
Is he here?

1643
01:47:52,856 --> 01:47:54,474
Yes, my tribal chief.

1644
01:47:57,027 --> 01:47:59,530
[crowd chanting] CM Punk, CM Punk!

1645
01:48:05,969 --> 01:48:09,188
Yes, that's exactly who I'm talking about.

1646
01:48:09,223 --> 01:48:11,157
Wiseman.

1647
01:48:11,191 --> 01:48:13,559
Yes, my tribal chief.

1648
01:48:14,061 --> 01:48:16,313
Is he still talking about this favor?

1649
01:48:19,583 --> 01:48:21,500
Yes, my tribal chief.

1650
01:48:25,505 --> 01:48:31,044
Oh, Chicago, Chicago, I don't know
how you deal with this guy, huh?

1651
01:48:33,614 --> 01:48:34,615
Wiseman.

1652
01:48:35,331 --> 01:48:36,633
Yes, my tribal chief?

1653
01:48:36,666 --> 01:48:41,038
Should I share a secret with Chicago?

1654
01:48:41,071 --> 01:48:42,940
[crowd cheers]

1655
01:48:44,223 --> 01:48:46,610
Yes, my tribal chief.

1656
01:48:50,130 --> 01:48:55,768
CM Punk wouldn't be back here
if it wasn't for me.

1657
01:48:57,137 --> 01:48:59,306
[crowd boos]

1658
01:49:06,763 --> 01:49:11,451
CM Punk wouldn't be in the main event
of WrestleMania if it wasn't for me.

1659
01:49:15,172 --> 01:49:17,074
And I get it, you're good people.

1660
01:49:18,241 --> 01:49:23,045
"He's from the same city as me.
I have to like him. Yeah."

1661
01:49:23,547 --> 01:49:26,750
You're good people, you mean well,
but you're not that smart.

1662
01:49:28,384 --> 01:49:32,840
CM Punk's been around forever.
He has wrestled everyone under the sun.

1663
01:49:32,873 --> 01:49:35,342

01:54:19,793 --> 01:54:24,798
But the reality, Roman,
is that you underestimate CM Punk.

I got some perspective,

1724
01:55:16,383 --> 01:55:20,670

gives you two options,
