[indistinct whispering, screaming]
[demonic growling]
[eerie music plays]
When I entered Hell in a Cell, I realized clearly something's wrong.
You wonder a little bit, like, you know,
is that one day gonna get the best of me?
Just looked like it would change your life forever.
It took a toll, that's for sure.
[Cole] The most dangerous structure.
Hell in a Cell.
[music intensifies]
[King] You're gonna see things you're not gonna believe.
-Look at the carnage! -[J.R.] My God, the carnage,
-it's overwhelming! -[man 1] A steel prison,
known as the "Devil's Playground."
-Inhumane! -[man 2] It will rip flesh!
[man 3] How do you come back from that?
[man 4] Welcome to hell!
[Cena] I'm walking into hell!
[Orton] I guarantee a new WWE Champion!
[man 5] Ryback Paul Heyman versus CM Punk.
[man 6] Hell in a Cell!
[J.R.] There are no winners in Hell in a Cell, only survivors!
[man 7] Hell has broken loose,
and it's only going to get worse!
Clearly, something's wrong.
[intense music plays]
[narrator] And now, WWE 2K14, the video game,
presents WWE Hell in a Cell.
[fireworks popping]
[audience cheering]
["Out of Time" by Stone Temple Pilots playing]
[Cole] It is the most ominous structure in the history of WWE.
Hell in a Cell.
You are looking live at the American Airlines Arena in Miami,
known as King James' house,
but tonight, it's the home to the greatest brand in live entertainment:
WWE.
Welcome to Hell in a Cell!
[bell dings]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, your opening contest
is a Triple Threat Match
for the WWE Tag Team Championship!
[Cody Rhodes and Goldust's theme song plays]
[announcer] First in the ring, with a combined weight of 452 pounds,
they are the current WWE Tag Team Champions:
Cody Rhodes and Goldust!
[Cole] Well, a couple of weeks ago, Cody Rhodes and Goldust took on
Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins of The Shield
for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
It was a no disqualification match, and it came just a few days
after the Rhodes brothers were reinstated
with a victory over The Shield at Battleground.
Let's take you back to this Monday Night RAW.
Remember, King. No disqualification!
[King] You're right, there was no disqualification.
I thought that was certainly gonna work in the favor of The Shield.
But it took a big turn as you can see,
when The Big Show showed up
and started planting that huge fist of his upside people's heads!
[Cole] And remember, this is a fired Big Show.
He had been fired by Stephanie McMahon.
But he returned to wreak havoc,
and he took out members of The Shield and that right hand by Roman Reigns,
allowed Cody Rhodes to capitalize.
And the Rhodes Brothers would complete an amazing comeback,
winning the Tag Team Titles.
The story here tonight, ladies and gentlemen--
This news broke a little bit earlier today
As you see, Triple H is livid.
Big Show has been barred from the building here in Miami tonight,
because of a restraining order
put in place by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
Big Show again barred from the building due to a restraining order.
[JBL] Well, he should be. He's a seven-foot-tall criminal
who keeps assaulting people. They should put him in jail.
Find some elephant cage that's empty and put him in it.
[The Usos screaming]
[speaking in Samoan]
When we say, "Uce," y'all say "Oh."
-Uce! -[all] Oh!
Let's go! Boom!
[The Usos' theme music plays]
[announcer] The challengers with a combined weight of 479 pounds,
Jimmy and Jey, The Usos!
Right before Hell in a Cell went on air, The Usos sent out a tweet saying
their time is now.
Welcome to Hell in a Cell. Michael Cole, the legendary JBL,
the Hall of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler.
You guys ready for some Triple Threat tag team action?
Well, I certainly am. And, you know, The Usos may be right.
Their time may be now.
Two great brother tag teams and The Shield.
Hey, you can't go wrong, Michael.
[voices on radio] Sierra, hotel, India, echo, lima, delta, Shield.
[The Shield's theme music plays]
[announcer] Representing The Shield,
at a combined weight of 482 pounds,
Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
[Cole] Rollins and Reigns want their tag team titles back.
But you know guys, it wouldn't be a Pay-Per-View
unless the Spanish announce table was at ringside.
-[King] All right. -[Cole] Here tonight,
joining Carlos Cabrera, and Marcelo Rodriguez,
none other than the legendary Rey Mysterio.
Hey, guys.
[speaking in Spanish]
[Cole] And I speak Spanish.
And I believe Rey said he was glad to be back next to the man that he retired, JBL.
[JBL] I speak Spanish. And Rey just admitted that he's actually El Torito.
-[King] He did not. -[JBL] He did too. I speak Spanish.
[Cole] Triple Threat rules in this matchup.
From what we understand, three men, one member of each team will be in the ring.
The first team to gain pinfall or submission
will be the Tag Team Champions.
No disqualifications, no countout.
Has to be pinfall or submission under these rules.
[King] And this is gonna be a very unique match
with three participants at any given time in the ring.
[Cole] And remember the disadvantage, King, for the champions.
[King] Well, you're right. I mean, I'm not too good at math.
It doesn't double their chances of losing it.
[Cole] They got about a 33% chance of retaining their championship here tonight.
-[King] You're right about that. -[bell dings]
[Cole] The Goldust will start things off.
Looks like Seth Rollins from The Shield, and--
Actually two men are going to start
the matchup off here in this Triple Threat Match.
-[King] Both you and I were wrong. -[Cole] We were.
-Here we go. -[JBL] I wasn't gonna point that out.
[Cole] Goldust with a clothesline.
And Seth Rollins as he tags in one of The Usos.
That is legal. You don't have to tag in a member of your own team.
[JBL] That's great strategy. Let these two favorites battle it out.
These two brother tag teams wear each other down.
Let The Shield come in and pick the bone.
[King] It didn't take Seth Rollins very long
to get all the Goldust he wanted tonight.
[JBL] Come on, King. Come on.
What a spin that is. But as much as Goldust, it's strategy.
[Cole] So, it's Jey Uso now.
Shoulder knocked down by Goldust.
Usos do have a bit of a problem--
Here's the cover by Goldust-- with Goldust and Cody Rhodes.
[audience chanting] Goldust! Goldust!
[screams]
[King] That was an inverted atomic drop.
That's just an old-fashioned boot to the side of your head.
[Cole] Cover by Goldust. Kick-out. Remember guys,
The Usos have had an issue with Goldust and Cody Rhodes
because Goldust and Cody, John, moved well ahead of The Usos
who were the true number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles.
[JBL] I don't blame The Usos for having a problem with that.
But that's not Cody Rhodes and Dustin's fault.
-It's the fault of whoever made that-- -[Cole] Cover by Cody. Kick-out.
[JBL] Whoever leapfrogged the Rhodes brothers
ahead of the number one contender.
[Cole] Tag made by Jimmy.
He comes in, he'll go right after Cody Rhodes,
who didn't realize the tag was made.
Trying to win one quickly here and a kick-out by Cody Rhodes.
[King] You've got to be extra--
[Cole] Could be over here, and again Cody kicks out at two.
[King] You've gotta be extra observant in this type of match.
[Cole] Especially if you're The Shield.
Because there's four men in the two other corners,
two of the three corners of the ring that have major issues with The Shield.
You may notice that Dean Ambrose of The Shield is not out here.
Dean Ambrose, we learned on the kickoff show a little bit earlier,
he'll be competing against Big E Langston
in the United States Championship match later tonight.
[King] He's probably just back in the locker room, worrying.
[Cole] Cody is blocked by Jimmy Uso.
[JBL] Dean Ambrose isn't worried about anything.
[Cole] Cover again, hook of a leg on Cody, and a kick-out.
[King] You don't think Dean Ambrose is worried about having to face
Big E Langston?
[JBL] No. I think Dean Ambrose is a very confident guy.
He won that title the first opportunity he had, and he's never lost it.
Why would he worry about anything?
[Cole] This Triple Threat Match came about this past Monday on RAW.
Ambrose and The Shield were battling it out to become number one contenders.
Cody and Goldust joined us at commentary and then chaos ensued.
And Vickie Guerrero made this match for tonight.
[JBL] You think Rocky Marciano worried about his 40th title defense? No.
-[Cole] Who? -[JBL] He had never lost.
-[Cole] I think he-- -[JBL] Marciano!
[Cole] I think he was a little concerned probably.
He just went back past me and that's a long way.
[Cole] Goldust with another right.
What a career revitalization for Goldust.
[JBL] This has been unbelievable.
Goldust has found a way not only to turn back the clock
but turn it back and be as good as ever.
[Cole] Look at Roman Reigns. Remember this is legal.
No disqualification.
Under Triple Threat rules and Reigns takes full advantage.
Gold time!
[King] Oh, lord.
[Cole] And now Roman Reigns quickly into the ring.
And look at Reigns knocking down Goldust off the clothesline.
[JBL] Reigns was actually the legal man.
[Cole] And there's a hook of the leg and a kick-out. Good point.
I stand corrected as they drag Goldust to the corner.
Here comes Seth Rollins in off the tag. So hard to keep.
[King] I noticed you're wearing orthopedic shoes. You stand corrected. [laughs]
[Cole] Rollins-- Gonna to be one of those nights, isn't it?
-[King] Yes. -[Cole] Rollins and Goldust,
now the legal men in this matchup.
[King] This is gonna be a fun night. I love this event.
So many great things I think we're gonna get to see tonight.
I just can't wait to see Paul Heyman get what he's got coming to him.
[JBL] Yeah, see what he's got coming to him.
[Cole] Punk against Ryback and Heyman.
2-on-1 Handicap Match inside Hell in a Cell.
[King] Can't wait to see the return of John Cena.
[Cole] That's Alberto Del Rio. World title, cover.
[Cole] Oh! For the championship. And Goldust at two stays in it.
-[man 1] There you go. -[man 2] Come on!
[Cole] Goldust tweeted out today that he doesn't believe in The Shield.
He believes in #thebrotherhood.
Which is what he's calling his relationship with Cody.
[King] Brotherhood. That was a movie.
Have you noticed how Goldust does all these movie references?
Think he's seen Bad Grandpa yet?
-[Cole] Did you? It was good. -[King] Yes.
-[Cole] There goes Cody. -[King] Awesome.
[Cole] Knocked off the apron and now Rollins right back to work on Goldust.
And now The Shield doing what they do best.
Isolating Goldust. Not allowing him to make a tag.
-[King] Man, look at that right hand. -[Cole] The power of Reigns.
Hook to the leg and a kick-out by Goldust at two.
-Reigns just pushes guys around. -[King] Well, he's so big.
I mean, you know, Goldust is a big guy.
Look at the size of him next to Roman Reigns.
[JBL] And this is something that not only Cody Rhodes
better worry about, but The Usos better worry about.
Because if Goldust gets beaten here, The Shield win the tag team titles
without The Usos ever being a part of the finish.
[Cole] Roman Reigns goes 6'3", 265 pounds.
WWE fans trying to will Goldust back into this.
[King] Look at Goldust, may steal one here and he got him.
-[Cole] No, two. -[JBL] That was close.
[Cole] And Reigns follows it up with an elbow.
Again to Goldust. Here's the cover.
Shoulders down. And he almost had him again!
[JBL] A little too lackadaisical of a finish by Roman Reigns.
Kick-out.
[man] Time brother. It is time.
[Cole] Reigns dominating at this point.
Reach for that tag, old man. You ain't goin' nowhere.
[King] This is not good for Goldust.
[Cole] Look at how Reigns just allows Goldust to crawl toward his brother.
And then doesn't allow him to quite get there.
Psychological games being played by The Shield.
[audience chanting] Goldust!
-[King] Here comes Goldust. -[Cole] Goldust fighting out of corner.
-WWE fans at Miami. -[King] Look at that. Look at that
[Cole] Can he get there? He's at arms length away!
No, not quite. Just missed it by a fingertip.
Cover yet again. And that was for the WWE Tag Team Titles.
The Usos, to John's point earlier, are getting a bit antsy on the apron.
[JBL] Usos better find a way to get involved in this match.
[man] Watch out, watch out, watch out.
[Cole] Oh, DDT planting Roman Reigns.
Now this is the separation Goldust needed.
But can he take advantage?
[King] Well, he's got two corners he can head to.
[Cole] Here comes Rollins.
Rollins with a cheap shot to Rhodes.
[JBL] Rhodes had the chance to tag The Usos.
[Cole] Big back body drop. But there's no one there.
-[JBL] Does he try to tag The Usos? -[King] Yes.
To your right.
[Cole] That doesn't bode well though.
[JBL] Yeah, but he needs to get out of the ring.
-Who cares if it bodes well or not? -[Cole] Here comes Roman Reigns.
Yeah, but this is a critical moment.
Goldust tags in one of The Usos, they have a chance to win the Tag Team titles.
Goldust with a swift move.
[JBL] Yeah, but otherwise, Goldust has a chance to lose them.
[King] You're right about that, JBL. Two good points there.
-Conflicted Goldust. -[JBL] Oh!
Oh, look.
[King] Wow.
-[Cole] So smart. -[JBL] That was brilliant.
[King] Reigns and Rollins took out both The Usos
before Goldust could make the tag.
[Cole] And now Roman Reigns looking to win the Tag Team Titles again.
Cody Rhodes just in time.
Remember, no disqualification as Rhodes goes off on Reigns.
[audience cheering]
[Cole] Well, what a great move by The Shield
to take out both Uso brothers as Goldust was ready to make a tag.
Incredible strategy.
[King] But as you said, Cody Rhodes arrived just in time
to keep Reigns and Rollins from becoming the champs again.
Roman Reigns pointing that out right now to Cody Rhodes.
[JBL] It just may be a matter of time.
And The Usos desperately want to become part of this match.
This is for the titles and they've not been in the match the last ten minutes.
[King] Well, The Shield have done a tremendous job.
[JBL] Or the USOs, as some call them.
[Cole] Not allowing Goldust to get anywhere near his partner.
[King] The USOs?
[man] Poor Goldust.
Poor Goldie.
[Cole] And this pace right now is exactly where The Shield wants it.
[Roman] What'd you expect, huh?
[audience booing]
[JBL] That is exactly where Goldust does not want to be.
Come on, old man.
[man] Finish him off.
Get up, old man. Let's see what you got, huh?
[Cole] Roman Reigns trash talking, mocking Goldust.
And Reigns-- Look at Goldust with a powerslam.
-[JBL] What a great counter. -[Cole] But can he take advantage?
[King] Be careful what you ask for, Roman Reigns.
-The old man got up, put you down. -[Cole] Look at Cody Rhodes.
The Usos on the other side of the ring. Everybody wants in this matchup.
Which way does Goldust go? He's got to just tag somebody.
Anybody. And he tags his brother.
And here comes Cody. One of the Tag Team Champions.
-[King] Look at that dropkick. -[Cole] Missile dropkick.
He gets to Reigns. Now back to Rollins.
[King] Reversal--
[Cole] Swift move by Cody. Shoulders down. Is it enough?
Kick-out of two by Seth Rollins.
Cody-- Ooh! That looked familiar.
[JBL] Yeah, but one of The Usos come in and make a save on somebody.
This is their title chance as well.
[Cole] Cody Rhodes, Moonsault. Top rope to retain the title.
-Kick-out by Rollins. -[King] Oh, man.
[Cole] You can see the WWE fans coming out of their seats, here in Miami.
[King] I came out of mine. How close was that?
Thought Cody had him.
-[King] Uh-oh. -[Cole] Uh-oh.
[Cole] Cody!
Does that-- Tag! Tag was made.
Cody went for the Disaster Kick. Rollins knocks Cody over the top rope.
But The Usos made the tag.
Crossbody. Lateral drop. To steal the title!
Kick-out by Rollins!
[JBL] This is what The Usos have been waiting for.
This is their chance.
-[Cole] Jimmy Uso made the tag. -[JBL] Since they've come here,
they said their only goal is to be Tag Team World Champions.
[Cole] Jimmy backing it up.
Here's the cover. Is it enough?
And this time, Reigns.
-And now Jey's in there, Goldust as well. -[JBL] What a forearm.
[Cole] Things are breaking down in this tag team matchup.
-[King] He's caught. -[Cole] There goes Goldust.
-[King] And Reigns. -[Cole laughs]
[JBL] Uh-oh, we got us a flying Uso.
[Cole] Look at him fly.
[King] Bodies are strewn all around the ring. Look out.
-[Cole] What a Samoan drop! -[JBL] That could be it. Pin him!
[Cole] Cover. Hook to the leg.
Ooh! And a kick-out by Rollins.
Shades of a rock here in Miami.
[King] Look at this. Look at the height.
[Cole] Look it, look it, look it! Top rope, top rope, top rope!
[JBL] We got us an air Uso.
-[Cole] And Rollins. -[JBL] No, we don't.
-[Cole] Smart. -[JBL] Grounded like the Dreamliner.
[Cole] And the rally-- Rhodes makes a tag.
Uso's rally comes to a stop.
Cody Rhodes, though, center of the ring.
-[King] Wait a minute. -[Cole] Way to the crossroads.
-Ooh. -[Cole] And now Rollins.
Boot to the side of the head.
[King] Big kick. That took the starch out of Cody Rhodes right there.
[Cole] What an exciting matchup to kick off Hell in a Cell here tonight.
-[audience chanting] -[Cole] Listen to the Universe.
[King] All three teams have been within a whisker of winning this thing.
[Cole] Cody and Rollins.
I don't like the looks of this.
-[JBL] This doesn't end well, guys. -[King] Not at all.
[JBL] This is not good.
[King] Each guy vying for position. What are they gonna do?
-[JBL] Don't do that. -[Cole] Oh, my God! From the top!
-Through everybody. -[King] Wow.
[Cole] Bodies strewn all around the ring.
[King] Oh, my God.
[JBL] That was incredible.
[Cole] It's all about the WWE Tag Team Titles.
-[King] Oh, man. -[Cole] Wow.
[King] Check this out one more time. Cody gets the leverage.
Suplex off the top.
They landed right on-- Well, their respective partners.
Everybody's down.
[Cole] Rhodes and Rollins, keep in mind, are the legal men.
Cover. Hook of the leg.
Top rope. Splash to both of 'em.
Saving the matchup for The Usos.
This is much like we expected it to be under Triple Threat rules.
[JBL] The Usos aren't legal, are they?
-[King] I don't believe so. -[JBL] No, they're not.
He's trying to drag Seth Rollins to his corner and tag himself in.
[Cole] Oh, smart move and a spear!
A spear!
I believe Rollins and Rhodes are still the legal men.
[King] Wait a minute.
[Cole] Look out. Goldust.
Oh! For the back of the head goes Seth.
And there's Cody. Again, legal man Rhodes.
Legal man Rollins. Cody.
[King] Went for the Disaster Kick and got caught by Seth Rollins.
[Cole] Goldust with a right. Right into Cody Rhodes.
-That's-- -[JBL] Cross Rhodes!
-[Cole] Cross Rhodes! -[JBL] He's got him!
[Cole] The Cinderella story continues for the Rhodes Brothers!
[King] Wow! That was amazing!
[announcer] The winners of this match and still WWE Tag Team champions,
Cody Rhodes and Goldust!
-[King] What a match! -[Cole] What teamwork!
-[King] What a victory! -[Cole] By the Brothers Rhodes!
[King] Look at that!
[JBL] What a phenomenal start to Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View!
[Cole] Triple Threat rules and the Champions retain.
And this incredible story continues
for Cody and Goldust, who, guys, earlier this month
didn't even have a job in WWE!
[King] Check this out. What an amazing ending to this match.
Watch this spear.
Pretty much nullified The Usos.
But this teamwork you talked about, Goldust with the big right hand.
Oh, man!
-And Cody Rhodes finishes him off. -[bell dings]
[King] What a win!
[Cole] A lot was made that Big Show helped these two win the tag team titles.
[JBL] He did.
[Cole] Cody Rhodes and Goldust silenced many critics here tonight.
[King] That was an amazing battle.
By all three teams! By all three teams!
[JBL] The American Dream somewhere is smiling.
[Cole] Well, you see Triple H and there's Shawn Michaels.
They are the best of friends.
Shawn Michaels the task of being special guest referee
for Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton tonight
inside Hell in a Cell for the vacated WWE Title.
Shawn Michaels guarantees there will be a new champion.
Beautiful shot. Gorgeous city.
We are here in the American Airlines arena
for the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View event.
[Miz] Awesome!
[Miz's theme song playing]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Miz!
[Cole] Well, this past Friday night on SmackDown, John, Miz joined us
on commentary for the Wyatt Family's match against The Usos.
Now, for weeks, The Wyatt Family had been targeting Miz.
During that match, Miz actually went over and he got in Bray Wyatt's face.
Knocked down Bray Wyatt, allowing The Usos to knock off Rowan and Harper.
After that, back in the locker room area,
a little bit later on in the show, John, we saw Miz.
He was tied up and he had "Liar" written across his stomach.
Just a devastating assault on Miz by The Wyatt Family.
[King] He's still feeling the effects, as you can tell.
[JBL] Well, he cheap-shotted Bray Wyatt for absolutely no reason and got caught.
For weeks, the Wyatt Family have been stalking me
and last Friday night on SmackDown, they beat me up,
chained me up, wrote "Liar" across my chest.
And now, I'm not medically cleared to compete in a match tonight.
But that doesn't mean that I'm not cleared to fight.
[audience cheering]
Bray Wyatt, get out of your Cracker Barrel rocking chair.
Leave your two hillbilly bushwhackers out at the compound
and get out here now.
You're always telling me to follow the buzzards.
Well, I'm right here.
Come and get me.
[JBL] Careful what you wish for.
[Bray Wyatt's theme song plays]
♪ Hush-a-by ♪
♪ Don't you cry ♪
♪ Go to sleep, my little baby ♪
It pains me to see you like this, Hollywood.
All broken and disheveled.
Like a man who has nothing left to lose.
Please understand.
Your words mean less than salt to me.
And if you could only see
the monster that lives behind my eyes.
[laughs]
[silence]
[audience cheering]
[King] All right, look out.
[Cole] Rowan and Harper! Rowan and Harper comin' in!
And ambushing Miz and Miz caught Rowan with a microphone
and now he turns his attention to Harper. But Erick Rowan right back into things.
And the Wyatt Family assaulting Miz.
[King] Well, Miz was hoping for Bray Wyatt by himself,
but he shoulda known better.
[Cole] Rowan and Harper, looking to get some mantle Miz tonight.
[JBL] Or are going to dismantle Miz.
[Cole] I mean, you got to admire Miz coming out here tonight
-asking for a fight with Bray Wyatt, but-- -[King] Yeah, that's what I say.
Miz should have known he was going to get this Eric Rowan and Luke Harper.
-[Cole] This could get ugly fast. -[King] It's already gotten ugly.
[JBL] He got the audacity to call out these monsters, this is what you get.
[King] He didn't call out these monsters. Oh, God.
[JBL] You really think you're going to get Bray Wyatt out here?
[Cole] What the hell?
-[King] Is-- Yes! -[Cole] What?
Oh, my!
Kane!
Kane is back!
[King] You were talking about monsters, this is one of the originals.
[Cole] We haven't seen Kane
since the Wyatt family took him out at SummerSlam!
[JBL] Some of the Universe have been chanting, "We want Kane!"
They just got him!
[Cole] And Kane returning with a vengeance!
Going after Harper!
[JBL] Kane's about the only guy that can match up size with these monsters!
[King chuckling] Man.
Kane with that big boot!
[Cole] And Harper and Rowan, uh, wisely…
backing away.
Remember, it was in that Inferno Match at SummerSlam,
where the Wyatts took out Kane.
-Uh-oh! -[King] What?
[Cole] Kane is not in any mood!
-[King] Wait a minute! -[Cole] Chokeslam to Miz!
[King] What's that about?
[Cole] He is the Big Red Monster!
All I can say is welcome back, Kane!
[King] He's back!
[JBL] Maybe he doesn't like Miz TV either.
I don't know what he's doing back, but I am glad that Kane is back!
That's best for business!
[Cole] Stunning developments here!
The man who debuted at Hell in a Cell,
returns to its Pay-Per-View tonight with retribution in mind!
[Fandango's theme music plays]
[JBL] Mrs. Fandango!
[King] Now, this may lighten the mood up just a little bit.
[JBL] It's a salsa.
[King] Salsa?
[JBL] It's like being at the Mango's Tropical Cafe right here in South Beach.
I hang out there all the time, I salsa.
-[King] Sure. -[JBL] I do.
-With Felipe Polico. -[bell dings]
[announcer] The following is a Mixed Tag Team Match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of Summer Rae and Fandango.
[JBL] What a wonderful treat to be here in Miami
and be treated to a salsa by two of the world's greatest dancers.
[Cole] Fandango says he's a regular Eddie Torres.
And Summer Rae, Maria Torres.
[JBL] More like a Magna Gopal to me.
But I like Maria Torres.
[Cole] I like Frankie Martinez myself.
[JBL] As you can tell, we're big salsa fans.
[Cole] Yes, well my wife and I actually won a salsa contest one time
at a dance contest in New Jersey.
[JBL] She must have had a different partner.
[King] I was going to say, how much did you eat?
[Cole] Summer Rae told me earlier today the cha-cha is their best dance.
[JBL] I thought he worked over at the Chelsea Handler show.
-[King] That's Chuy, I think. -[JBL] Oh, Chuy.
[Cole] What is the number one trend worldwide right now on Twitter,
#WWE.
[JBL] I'm gonna get in there and salsa.
[King] I'd love to see that.
Shh.
Miami.
You think you know about salsa dancing.
Do you?
What you know is primitive and crude.
There is only one true master of the art
of salsa.
And his name…
His name is…
Fandango.
[salsa music playing]
[King] Oh, wow!
[Cole] Salsa, baby!
[JBL] Oh, what a treat this is!
[The Great Khali's theme music plays]
[JBL] Flex that beat!
Interrupted by Chewbacca.
[announcer] And their opponent, being accompanied by Hornswoggle,
the team of Natalya and The Great Khali!
[Cole] Oh, you know, guys, just last week,
Khali and Fandango had a match.
Fandango said he was a man of grace and he was embarrassed
to be in the ring with the likes of the great Khali.
Well, during that matchup, Summer Rae and Natalya mixed it up outside the ring.
Hence the reason for this Mixed Tag Team Match here tonight.
[King] Well, we're looking forward to see Summer Rae perform,
not on the dance floor, but in the ring.
[Cole] Yeah, the debut match at WWE for Summer Rae.
Gonna be interesting to see what she can do
against Natalya here tonight.
So, Khali and Fandango are gonna start things off.
Mixed tag match. Guys against the guys. Girls have to take on the girls.
And here we go.
[JBL] I've heard rumors that Summer Rae is quite the accomplished grappler.
I don't think they taught Salsa in the Dungeon of Stu Hart.
[King] Look out, look out, look out.
Fandango better not let this big giant get a hold of him.
[JBL] Natalya doesn't know how to salsa, but Summer Rae knows how to wrestle.
[Cole] That's why you're the best in the business.
[JBL] I am the best in the business.
[Cole] Khali sends Fandango flying.
[King] I don't think we're gonna see much dancing from Khali here tonight.
[Cole] However, last week in Memphis he did a few Elvis moves.
[King] Yeah, he came out dressed as Elvis, as did Hornswoggle, his little buddy.
[JBL] Yeah, Elvis is still spinning in his grave at Graceland.
[Cole] Tag made, Summer Rae.
[King] You know what that whirring sound was down in there?
Summer Rae talking some smack to the big guy.
[Cole] Explaining to him the rules that Natalya has to take on Summer Rae.
And Summer Rae going right after Natalya.
Natalya obviously the more accomplished of the two.
Take down of Summer Rae.
These two have been going at it on Twitter all week long.
Natalya telling Summer Rae, "You can run but you can't hide.
#sharpshooter."
And then Summer Rae telling Natalya-- That was a swift move by Summer Rae.
-[King] Dance. Dance taught-- -[JBL] How about that!
-[Cole] And Natalya with the counter. -[King] Look out.
-Nice takedown, Natalya. -[JBL] Look at this.
[Cole] Jackknife, cover. Natalya come right out of that.
And a backslide by Natalya. Summer Rae's shoulders are down.
And Summer Rae, nice dropkick!
[JBL] What a-- I told you guys!
I'm like Mel Kiper.
-[King] Like who? -[JBL] Mel Kiper, like Mel Kiper.
[Cole] You dress like him and your hair looks like him.
[JBL] He has gray hair?
[Cole] And Natalya and Summer Rae, and you should not be boasting
when you're in the ring with Natalya.
[King] Summer Rae gloating a little too long there.
[Cole] Summer Rae did say that this tango is too hot for Natalya
on her Twitter page.
She says, "#iceyourface."
-[Cole] Natalya with a-- -[King] You're really into
-their Twitter battle aren't you? -[Cole] I follow Twitter.
-Who doesn't? -[JBL] Michael does not have a lot to do--
[Cole] You know, just my homework.
-[King] Look out! -[Cole] Nice drop toe-hold by Natalya.
-Welcome to the ring. -[JBL] No, there's no call for that.
[Cole] Why not? It was funny.
[King] Summer Rae looks like she did a little breakdancing.
She may have a broken nose after landing face-first on the mat.
-[Cole] And Fandango-- -[King] Oh, look at this!
You can't do this!
[JBL] You're supposed to tag out. Natalya went and assaulted Fandango.
-[Hornswoggle laughing] -[King] Look at…
[JBL] What's that little toad laughing at?
-[King] Uh-oh. -[JBL] Good, good, good.
Never pick him up. Just hit him.
[Cole] Look at this. Look at the size of Khali's hand.
He's pulled on Fandango's skull like a basketball.
-[King screams] -[Cole] Oh!
[King] If you put your hands on the little guy,
you have to pay the price from the big guy.
[JBL] Come on, there's nothing wrong with tossing Hornswoggle.
The big guy's the same size as the little guy.
Same weight.
[Cole] Fandango trying to keep the big man off his feet
by working on those legs of The Great Khali.
[JBL] There's nothing wrong with tossing Hornswoggle.
[Cole] You already used that, man. Nobody popped the first time.
[JBL] It's because you didn't catch it.
It's like throwing frisbees to a guy sitting down, Michael.
[Cole] Natalya does not seem to be impressed with Fandango.
[all exclaiming]
-[Cole] Oh, man! -[King] That was impressive.
Resounded throughout this entire American Airlines Arena.
[Cole] It'll feel like getting hit by a frying pan.
Oh, man.
[man] Khali!
[King] Fandango, I think you'd be doing well to tag out right now.
-[Cole] And there it is. -[King] He took my advice.
[referee] Khali, I need you out. I need you out now.
[JBL] Khali better get out of there. Summer Rae might take him down.
I think she's quite the accomplished Grappler.
[Cole] She's trying to seduce him. And Natalya's going to have none of it.
[JBL] What is she, Fay Wray?
[Cole] That was a real 1935 reference.
There's the suplex by Natalya.
Whoa! Ooh!
Could've said, Naomi Watts and brought it at least into this century.
[Cole] And Natalya! Shades of her dad.
[King] Clothesline there.
[Cole] Name is Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
[King] Guys, I gotta tell you,
I'm a little bit surprised at the skills Summer Rae's
displaying here tonight in her first-ever debut match.
[JBL] Why? You didn't listen to me. I told you she was great.
-[King] She's holding her own. -[Cole] Here's the cover! Rollup!
[JBL] Summer Rae got her! She got her! What'd I tell ya, guys?
-[King] What? -[JBL] What'd I tell ya?
-[King] Oh, my gosh! -[announcer] Here are your winners,
the team of Summer Rae and Fandango.
[King] Guys, do you realize how huge this is? What an upset!
[JBL] Huge upset, I told ya, guys!
-I'm better than Jimmy the Greek! -[Cole] Oh, my Lord.
-[JBL] I'm like Nostradamus! -[Cole] Jimmy the Greek!
-[JBL] I told ya how great Summer Rae was! -[King] John the Geek!
John the Geek, yes!
[Cole] And John the Geek called this one, folks.
If your line was on Summer Rae, you're taking the money home.
John the Geek with a call tonight!
Summer Rae wins her debut along with Fandango here.
You know, before every Pay-Per-View,
a number of different platforms like WWE.com, the app, and more,
we have our kickoff show, hosted by an esteemed panel.
They join us now. Here's Josh Mathews.
Hi, guys.
[Josh] Hey, guys, thank you very much.
Having a great time up here with the expert Superstar panel.
The show-off, Dolph Ziggler,
former United States champion, R-Truth,
and former Divas champion, Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn, we'll start with you.
What's stood out to you the most so far here at Hell in a Cell?
Well, how about this last tag team match?
There was a lot of awful dancing and sometimes raunchy--
most times raunchy dancing.
And there was some Divas action.
Now, that was Summer Rae's very first match and she got a win.
So, that was huge for Summer Rae.
It just makes me more excited to see what's going to happen tonight
when the Divas championship is on the line.
You never want to underestimate AJ's pigtails.
Am I right?
-You know so well. -You got a point.
-She got a good point. -Nailed it.
She got a good point.
Well, what stood out for me the most Josh, had to have been hands down
the Triple Threat Match for the tag titles.
You know, there was a lot of controversy because Cody Rhodes and Goldust won it,
being with the assist by Big Show.
But tonight… tonight, hands down.
-Hands down. -Hands down.
Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Tag Team Champions.
What a great match. That was a great match.
I was on the edge of my seat.
We were next to each other watching. I loved it.
But I gotta say, I have to take a different side here.
I saw The Miz, the guy we know as the fun-loving loudmouth.
He comes out and he calls out the Wyatts.
He's sick of being pushed around by these guys.
And you know, I'm sick of their head games.
I'm sick of everything they've been through.
You saw a different side of Miz tonight.
And then the huge surprise, out of nowhere since SummerSlam.
Kane has been gone. We haven't seen him.
He comes back, cleans house.
So a lot happening here tonight at Hell in a Cell.
The expert superstar panel will be back a little bit later on
as we send things back to ringside.
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following contest set for one fall
is for the United States Championship!
[voices on radio] Sierra, hotel, India, echo, lima, delta, Shield.
[Dean Ambrose's theme music plays]
[announcer] Approaching the ring first, representing The Shield,
weighing 225 pounds,
he is the current United States Champion,
Dean Ambrose!
[Cole] We have a treat for you here tonight
at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View event.
On our kick-off show earlier on, Big E Langston joined the panel
to talk about a couple of the matches on the Pay-Per-View.
The Shield would interrupt and Big E Langston and Dean Ambrose
got in it verbally and basically the challenge was laid out
for this United States Title match tonight.
And SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero said, "Let's do it."
Ambrose and Big E Langston, here in Miami.
[King] When Vickie Guerrero really gets put under pressure,
she makes some pretty decent decisions.
-[JBL] Mrs. Guerrero-- -[King] I like this match.
[JBL] Mrs. Guerrero makes some great decisions.
[Big E Langston's theme music plays]
[announcer] And the challenger from Tampa, Florida, weighing 285 pounds,
Big E Langston!
[Cole] As Big E Langston looks to win the United States Championship tonight,
we want to tell you that WWE's YouTube page is jam-packed with great shows
like The JBL & Cole Show, Backstage Fallout, WWE Inbox, and more.
There's also a load of classic content for you to enjoy.
Over two million subscribers and a half billion views.
Go to WWE's YouTube page and check it out.
And of course The JBL & Cole Show available right now.
It is our Halloween Spectacular.
[JBL] The Bella Twins, Hornswoggle,
the Brooklyn Brawler, we got all the stars.
[King] And pretty soon you guys are going to be showing
the visit to the King Jerry Lawler Museum. Right?
[Cole] Yes, we visited King's Museum last night here in Miami.
We had the first-ever JBL and Cole Bowling Tournament.
-[King] Bowling Tournament? -[JBL] World Championship.
Won by Cody Rhodes.
[Cole] So Dean Ambrose and Big E Langston for the United States Championship.
[King] I was never allowed to bowl as a kid growing up.
My mother said anything done in an alley can't be good.
[Cole] That's another sport I'm very good at.
[King] What?
[JBL] I can see you in a fulsome sleeve.
With your Briscoe Brothers shirt on.
[Cole] It was called the Cole Miners.
[King] They could never make a bowling shirt that would fit Big E.
[Cole] No, not at all. He is absolutely ripped.
-Big, powerful man. -[JBL] Talk about the size.
Doesn't matter if he's ripped or not.
-He doesn't fit into his shirt. -[Cole] 290 pounds.
Look at that. The power.
The explosiveness for the title and a kick-out by Ambrose.
[JBL] Big E with a huge opportunity.
[Cole] Big E Langston wants to prove something here tonight.
And a kick-out by Ambrose again.
How about how Big E Langston stepped up in recent weeks.
[Ambrose] Oh!
[Cole] Joined CM Punk in battles against Ryback and Axel recently.
I was so impressed with Big E Langston Friday night on SmackDown, John,
when The Miz was taken out by the Wyatts.
Big E Langston went into Vickie Guerrero's office.
[JBL] If you'd just be quiet, we could be impressed with him now.
[King] What about the day he got that slap and the payback from Big E Langston.
[Cole] There's the power of Big E Langston.
[Cole] Knee to the back. Friday night on SmackDown,
he marched into Vickie Guerrero's office
and said, "I wanna be in the Main Event." He made it happen.
[JBL] He had an opportunity, took it, and capitalized on it.
We'll see if he can do the very same thing right now.
What an incredible opportunity this is for Big E.
[Langston] Oh!
[Cole] I don't think Ambrose is gonna be able to push Langston around.
[Langston] Oh!
Oh!
[JBL] Big E has been a world-class athlete in powerlifting.
You don't intimidate world-class athletes very often.
[Cole] He played college football as well.
Oh! Big high knee.
[JBL] Who are you, J.R.?
[Cole] I knew that one was coming.
I should've just kept my mouth shut.
-Look at the power! -[all exclaiming]
[Cole] And again, cover by Langston. Hook of the leg and a kick-out.
[King] JBL, you tried to tell me that Dean Ambrose was not
a little worried when he got put into this match.
He has no fear of Big E Langston?
[JBL] No. A guy that's never lost a championship,
why would he have fear of anything? Maybe it's overconfidence.
It could be, but why would he have any fear of anything? He's never lost.
[King] Everybody has fears of something.
[Cole] To John's point, Dean Ambrose has held
the United States Championship since May.
And he won it at Extreme Rules.
[JBL] Every time I come to work, I fear one thing.
I gotta work with you two.
[King] I used to have a fear of hurdles, but I got over it.
[JBL] Like I said, my biggest fear. At work.
[King] Watch Big E now. Oh!
[Cole] Ambrose sent flying, in a…
[JBL] I think Ambrose has tweaked that left knee.
[Cole] Yeah, coming over the top rope.
[King] I don't think Big E feels sorry for him.
[JBL] Big E showing no compassion, nor should he.
[King] Championship match.
-[JBL] You know this is-- -[King] Oh!
-[Cole] Ambrose taking advantage of the-- -[JBL] Great counter by Dean Ambrose.
What's bad about this, the one thing that Ambrose has on Big E is speed.
-He certainly doesn't have it now. -[referee] Five!
[Cole] Big E can ill afford to be counted out.
I guess the pin or get Ambrose to submit to win the championship.
[King] I don't think you're gonna try
to suplex Big E Langston inside the ring, do you?
[JBL] I think he may try. I just don't think he's gonna do it.
-[King] Ooh! -[Cole] He'll do that.
Oh, and off the steel post goes Langston.
-[man] He's going away. -[referee] One.
[JBL] If I was Ambrose, I'd take a count-out victory right now.
[King] Did you hear earlier, Dean Ambrose,
before I finish my point, check this out one more time.
Watch his head pound right into the ring post there.
Did Dean Ambrose say to Big E Langston, he's gonna teach him a lesson in manners?
-[JBL] Yeah. -[King] Manners?
-Dean Ambrose has manners? -[JBL] He's the ultimate gentleman.
[King] Oh, my gosh. Yeah, look at him.
[Cole] Ambrose looking to put Langston away.
Admits that he is slightly off.
-[King laughs] -[Cole] And very unpredictable.
[referee] Come on, let's go. One! Two! Three!
-[Cole] Forearm. -[referee] Four!
[Cole] An entire five count.
[JBL] Did you talk to him, Michael?
[Cole] Yeah, I've had conversations with Ambrose.
[King] What were they like?
[Cole] Strange, different, slightly off.
Talks in circles sometimes.
[JBL] Sure you weren't talking to yourself?
-[referee] One, two, three. -[Cole] Look at Big E.
Trying to fight out of this.
But Langston again just continues the pressure.
I should say Ambrose continues the pressure.
[King] Big headbutt there by Dean Ambrose.
[Cole] United States title. So prestigious.
Been around since the mid-70s.
First title holder ever. The Hall of Famer, Harley Race.
Ambrose!
[King] You can see it. Ambrose getting a little full of himself right now.
I think he thinks he's got this thing well in hand.
[Cole] Hook of the leg and a kick-out.
[King] You were the United States champion, John?
[JBL] Yes, I was. Very proud to have held that prestigious title.
[Ambrose] Come on!
[Cole] Ambrose trying to neutralize the strength of Langston.
[man] Come on, Big E.
[King] Sometimes, when you're in there against a guy the size of Big E,
you think maybe you can wear him down. Get him tired.
But I don't know if that's the case with Big E Langston.
This guy is so well-conditioned.
[Ambrose] Oh!
Oh!
[Cole] Dean Ambrose just trying to-- Now for the sleeper hold.
Now Ambrose trying to lock the sleeper hold in and put Big E away.
-Take the big man down this way. -[King] That may work.
[Cole] Looks like Ambrose had it locked in pretty good.
Big E perhaps doing the only thing he could to break it there.
Big E exploding with a clothesline.
And now the momentum starts to shift a bit.
-[King exclaims] -[Cole] Ambrose goes flying.
[JBL] He threw him up and sideways.
Look at that explosion.
[Cole] That may be it for the United States Championship.
Big E Langston, and a near-fall.
[JBL] What an opportunity for Big E.
[Langston] Yes.
[King] This stuff may not be pretty, but it's powerful.
As it--
-[King] Oh, no. -[Cole] Ambrose slipping out of the way.
[King] Uh-oh. [Cole] Belly-to-belly by Langston.
Again for the United States Championship.
[King] Watch this impact. This huge clothesline.
[JBL] Wow.
[Cole] And now Langston going to try it again with the splash.
This time, he connects. Can he knock off Ambrose right here?
Kick-out again by the champion.
[King] Several times Dean Ambrose has tried something here.
[King] Man, Big E's busted.
[JBL] Fortunately for Big E, it's below the eyes.
Above the eyes, then you start losing vision.
[Cole] And Ambrose--
Ambrose wanted to take a breather.
[King] I believe that happened off that collision where these two cracked heads.
Oh, no. Big E's gonna have none of that.
[Cole] Ambrose taking a walk and Big E Langston
with the United States Championship up for grabs here,
not gonna let that happen.
-Man. -[King] Oh, boy.
[Cole] And plants Big E Langston.
And Langston appears to be out on that DDT.
And he still stays alive.
[King] Big E's gonna--
[JBL] It's unfortunate when an inadvertent headbutt like that
ends up affecting the match, but that's what happens.
[King] Big E's gonna definitely need some medical attention after this.
But he'll feel a lot better if he can win this match.
[JBL] Good thing about it though he's very lucky it's underneath the eye.
-Not above it. -[King] Look at this.
[JBL] Wow.
[King] Big E throwing caution to the wind.
[JBL] You can't win it outside the ring, Big E.
[Cole] Shoulder into the gut. Ambrose goes flying.
Both men outside. The referee started to count.
[referee] Three! Four!
[Cole] The official on the count of four.
Again Langston's got to get the champion back in the ring.
[King] Check this out. The big man goes flying.
-Oof! Right into the mid-section. -[JBL] Damn.
-[King] And then right down to the floor. -[Cole] And Ambrose--
-[referee] Ten! -[Cole] And that's it.
-[bell dings] -[Cole] Dean Ambrose has been counted out.
[audience booing]
[JBL] But he retains that championship.
[announcer] The winner of this match, as a result of a countout,
Big E Langston.
[King] Big E wins but he doesn't want to--
[JBL] I don't think Big E's done yet.
[Cole] Langston doesn't win the United States championship.
Ambrose still the champion but Big E Langston is gonna make him pay.
-[King] Look out! -[Cole] Pulls out the big ending.
[JBL] You're impressive Big E.
But you're not leaving the champion.
Dean Ambrose is.
[Big E Langston's theme song plays]
[Cole] Dean Ambrose survives tonight
for the United States championship.
[JBL] Survives is the correct term there, Michael.
Dean Ambrose is a lucky man.
I think Big E's got a trip to the hospital.
Big E's first Pay-Per-View victory.
Congratulations Big E.
[King] Let's see if we can go back here and look.
I think that this is where their heads hit.
-Ooh. -[Cole] Wow.
[King] That's uh--
I think that's what opened up Big E Langston.
[JBL] That's why they say, it ain't ballet, folks.
[King] Big E there with some ballet-like moves.
Flying through the air and then after Dean Ambrose was counted out,
he almost had to be carried out after Big E's big ending.
[JBL] He's 290 pounds. He shouldn't be flying through the air.
But he is.
[Cole] And we mentioned Big E Langston's been involved in some play with CM Punk
and Ryback and Paul Heyman and company.
This Punk-Heyman story has been going on for months now.
It was originally tonight gonna be Ryback versus CM Punk one-on-one.
But a couple of weeks ago we had a Beat the Clock challenge
where the winner would be allowed to pick the stipulation for tonight's event.
We're gonna take you back now to Monday Night RAW.
And we're gonna show you exactly what happened on Monday Night RAW.
-[King] Look at this. -[Cole] Oh, there it is.
[JBL] Here we go!
-[King] Oh, my God. -[JBL] Here we go!
[Cole] It is 20 feet high.
It is five tons of steel.
The next match will be competed inside Hell in a Cell.
Let's take it back to RAW and show you what happened
in this Beat the Clock challenge game.
[King] Oh, absolutely awesome match.
You see there Paul Heyman clutching that championship dearly.
-CM Punk-- -[Heyman] Hold him down!
[Cole] And remember it was five minutes, 44 seconds Punk had the beat
to set the stipulation for tonight's match against Ryback.
Punk would hit-- deliver the Go To Sleep just in time.
Less than 20 seconds to go.
CM Punk into the cover.
And Punk would pick up the win and set the stipulation for tonight.
We're gonna have ourselves a Handicap Match at Hell in a Cell.
Paul Heyman guy, Ryback and Paul Heyman…
versus CM Punk
in the Hell in a Cell!
[audience cheering]
[CM Punk's theme music plays]
[Cole] So, CM Punk has picked his poison.
2-on-1 Handicap Matchup
will be contested inside this unforgiving, this merciless steel prison.
So many ways to describe the WWE's most dangerous environment
known as Hell in a Cell.
[King] It has now been lowered into place.
[JBL] You can feel the buzz in the arena down here in Miami.
[King] I think you can--
That may be Paul Heyman's heart beating outside of the chest.
[JBL] It could be, King.
[CM Punk's theme music plays]
[King] Well, there comes the best in the world.
[Cole] As we get set for the 27th Hell in a Cell match in history.
It's clobberin' time!
[bell dings]
[announcer] This is a two-on-one Handicap
Hell in a Cell Match.
Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 218 pounds,
CM Punk.
[Cole] So, for the fifth time in his career,
CM Punk will step inside Hell in a Cell.
I actually spoke with Punk a little bit earlier today,
I asked him if experience means anything in this match tonight,
he said it doesn't get any easier.
Every time you step inside Hell in a Cell,
you realize your career could be on the line,
and tonight he steps in there against two men.
[King] You said it, there's been a lot of adjectives to describe this Cell.
Unforgiving, demonic, I mean just so many ways
that this Cell can affect the outcome of the match.
It can be your friend or it can be your worst enemy.
But it will be involved.
[JBL] You know this very well, King, there are certain matches in your career
when you walk into them, you know you'll walk out not the same.
This is one of those matches.
[Ryback's theme music plays]
[announcer] His opponents, first from Las Vegas, weighing 291 pounds
Ryback!
[Cole] For the second time in his career, Ryback enters Hell in a Cell.
[JBL] Where's Heyman?
[Cole] It is a two-on-one Handicap Match.
Ryback and Heyman versus CM Punk.
[King] Paul was maybe changing his pants right now.
[JBL] What, does Heyman want his own entrance?
[Cole] Remember it was Ryback who cost Punk
the opportunity to take out Heyman.
To beat him at the Night of Champions Pay-Per-View.
And allowed Heyman to pin CM Punk handcuffed on that night.
[JBL] Where's Heyman?
-Wait a minute, where's Heyman? -[King] I know what you're thinking
but he's not gonna be able to chicken out of this.
[Cole] It has become a Thanksgiving night, Thanksgiving week tradition guys.
Survivor Series.
Four weeks from tonight at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston.
It will be Survivor Series.
You've got to wonder if Heyman is gonna be around for that event.
[JBL] I'll steal a line from you, King.
-Speaking of… -[King] What the?
[announcer] And his tag team partner, Paul Heyman.
[Cole] Ryback seems to know, look at the smile on his face.
[JBL] Don't show that…
[Cole] Punk is not pleased.
[JBL] I thought a limo with bull horns was audacious.
-[King] What is that thing? -[Cole] That's Paul Heyman, King.
[King] I know. What is that thing, that thing he's in?
[JBL] He's getting a ride. I guess he's saving his energy.
[Heyman] Ladies and gentlemen…
[audience booing]
…my name is Paul Heyman.
And I am the best in Hell.
Little did you know when you were just breaking in,
when you were a nobody,
that you sold your soul to the devil.
For I am not just Paul Heyman,
but in WWE, I am Satan himself.
And right there is the man that is going to collect your soul
for all the dirty deeds that I pulled off on your behalf.
Now is the time that I collect.
Because CM Punk,
I have risen from the depths of hell.
And I have ascended to the top of the world.
For my name is Paul Heyman
and I own CM Punk.
[audience booing]
[JBL] This is a first. Heyman will stay up there?
[Cole] Paul Heyman is supposed to be a participant in this match tonight.
And Heyman is now perched on top of Hell in a Cell.
Punk's got to turn his attention to Ryback.
This is probably the most audacious way
I've ever seen of a man trying to get out of Hell in a Cell.
As CM Punk now begins to hammer away on Ryback.
And Ryback looks to manhandle Punk
with his power and strength inside the Hell in a Cell.
CM Punk, he cannot be in the mood, guys, for this tonight.
He wanted Heyman.
The reason he picked this stipulation was to finally get his hands on Paul Heyman.
The man who's turned his back on him
and has made his life a living hell for months.
[King] Heyman-- He's supposed to be in the cell, but he's actually on the cell.
[audience chanting] Heyman sucks!
-[Cole] Yes? -[King] I'm listening to the Universe.
-You know what they're saying. -[JBL] I hear exactly what they're saying.
[Cole] And there he is, perched on the top of Hell in a Cell,
claiming he's on top of the world.
-'Cause he's the best in the world. -[JBL] He's insane.
CM Punk was the one that turned his back on Paul Heyman.
[Cole] Oh, and Punk taking out Ryback.
Right into that steel that surrounds the ring.
[audience chanting] CM Punk!
[JBL] CM Punk turned his back on the guy, Paul Heyman, who brought him to WWE
and also brought him that 434-day championship reign.
[Cole] Kendo sticks are legal.
Remember, you win via pinfall or submission inside Hell in a Cell.
And Ryback--
Oh! Driving Punk right into the steel.
[Heyman] That's the way you do it, Ryback!
Come here!
[King] That was hit, maybe.
[Cole] And now, it's Ryback, gonna use the kendo stick.
[JBL] CM Punk may be glad Paul Heyman isn't in there with him.
[Ryback] You're a punk!
It's for you, Paul!
-You're a punk! -[Cole] Watch this.
Sixteen years ago this month, first Hell in a Cell match ever,
Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
The debut of Kane that night.
Remember The Undertaker on our kickoff poll on WWE.com
voted the Mr. Hell in a Cell.
The greatest Hell in a Cell performer of all time.
[JBL] The Undertaker's been in 12 of them, more than anyone.
[Cole] He and Triple H tied with the most wins in history as well.
Paul Heyman stares down from the roof of the cell.
[JBL] Triple H with nine appearances himself.
[Cole] Ryback with a high elbow.
You think it psychologically affected Punk in the early days?
[King] Without a doubt. I mean, that's all-- I can assure you.
That's all that CM Punk has been thinking about this past week
was getting his hands on Paul Heyman.
Now to come out here when the match starts
and realize that Paul Heyman is not in the cell,
but he's on the cell.
And he's not gonna-- I don't see--
Do you see any way that Punk is gonna be able to get to Heyman?
-[Cole] No. -[JBL] No. There's no way in,
-there's no way out. -[Cole] Heyman's just gonna--
[King] Well, then that answers your question. Yeah.
Huge psychological disadvantage for Punk now.
[JBL] Look, you've got to expect the unexpected with Paul Heyman.
I don't know who would expect him driving out here in some crazy lift.
Lifting him up to the top of the cage.
And Paul Heyman sitting on the top of the cage the entire match.
[Cole] And Ryback looking to put Punk away
win this one via pinfall, and a kick-out.
[King] I'm surprised just seeing Paul Heyman up there.
Look at him hanging on for dear life to that chain.
Paul Heyman, I knew-- I think it was about 20 years ago,
they tried to get him on top of a scaffolding, he almost fainted.
Refused to go. I know he's scared of heights.
How he's up there like this, I don't know.
[Cole] Well, it was Paul Heyman who said last week that,
"We're deadly serious about Sunday."
And Heyman claimed that he was once again going to pin Punk.
[JBL] That's a bird's eye view of Paul Heyman.
[King] Well, I know he's-- You know what?
Paul Heyman, the Paul-ris, is definitely afraid of heights.
But he must be more afraid of CM Punk than he is of heights.
[Cole] Actually, a worm's eye view.
If it was a bird's eye view, he'd be looking from the top of it.
[JBL] Yeah, 'cause birds look down.
What, worms look up? What are you talking about?
[King] Second of all, I don't think worms have eyes.
[Cole] Punk, look at this! Ryback in trouble!
-Punk! -[King] Got him!
[Cole] And now Punk's starting to build a little bit of momentum.
Trying to refocus here against the dangerous Ryback.
[King] What's under there?
Table!
-Watch out! Oof! -[audience groans]
[Ryback] You suck!
You suck!
[man] Garbage Ryback!
[Ryback] Punk!
[Cole] Look at this. Punishing Punk.
[JBL] I think Punk was thrown completely off his game by what Paul Heyman did.
I don't think anybody expected it.
I was thrown off by Michael calling it some type of worm's eye view.
-I think CM Punk-- -[King] Uh-oh!
[Cole] WWE fans still trying to figure out what to make of this whole
Heyman situation as Punk continues to be punished by Ryback!
[King] And again!
[Cole] Merciless attack by Ryback here.
Just wearing Punk out.
[man] Heyman!
[Cole] It'd just be maybe a matter of moments
before Ryback finally puts Punk away.
[King] Ryback certainly adept at using this Hell in a Cell to his advantage.
More than once we've seen him use the cell as his ally.
[Cole] You know, you gotta remember what Punk said last week, guys.
He said Hell in a Cell ends careers and defines legacies.
But Punk said that his legacy will be defined by what he does to Paul Heyman
tonight inside Hell in a Cell when he gets his hands on him.
He's not gonna be given that opportunity now.
And Ryback!
Hook to the leg here and a near-fall.
[JBL] He may not be given the opportunity if Ryback beats him,
which is looking like a very good possibility right now.
Remember, Ryback and CM Punk fought in a Hell in a Cell before.
And if not for Brad Maddox being the referee,
it looked like Ryback was gonna win that match.
[King] Look at Heyman dwarfed upon that huge Cell.
It takes a lot to dwarf the Paul-is.
[audience chanting] CM Punk!
[JBL] It's like you put Tilikum on the top of the cage.
[Cole] Punk trying to get to the kendo stick here.
What?
[JBL] That's the killer whale at Sea World.
[Cole] Ooh, and Ryback again!
And now, with Punk up top.
Looked like Ryback may be going for-- Oh, man!
[King] Ooh, wow!
[Cole] Is that enough for Ryback?
CM Punk does what he can and manages to stay alive.
But Ryback has just been punishing Punk.
[JBL] And Paul Heyman enjoying every bit of it.
From atop the cage.
Ask him.
[Cole] Say what you want about Heyman, but he always has something up his sleeve.
[King] I'm just trying to think, how many nights did Heyman
have to lay awake to dream this plot up?
[Cole] This is crazy.
[JBL] Watching Paul Heyman watch his guy, Ryback, go to work on CM Punk.
[Cole] And Punk has to try to get in some position to rally here.
And perhaps this is it.
Crossbody. Lateral press. Hook the leg.
Ryback near-fall for Punk.
[King] Ryback is so strong. It takes so much.
[Cole] Now that's a start for Punk to bring the big man off his feet.
[JBL] Punk's got to be thinking, if he's lucky enough to beat Ryback here,
I'm not sure it's gonna be luck. if he's good enough to beat Ryback here,
he still may not get Paul Heyman.
[Cole] High knee to the jaw. Ryback. Brings the big man to the mat.
[JBL] I think Punk has just been thrown completely off his game.
[Cole] He has. And Ryback took advantage. You've got to give Ryback credit there.
[audience] CM Punk!
[JBL] Well, Ryback's obviously in on it.
[Cole] Ryback caught Punk coming over the top rope.
And it may again just be a matter of time.
Off the powerslam, hook of the leg, and Punk stays in it.
[King] Oh, brother. Things could go from bad to worse.
And I think they're about to.
Uh-oh.
[King] Oh, no.
[Cole] Looking for the Shell Shock here of CM Punk who fights out of it.
Now, Ryback face-first into the turnbuckle.
[JBL] I've been amazed at CM Punk during that long title run.
The second longest in modern history of the WWE.
The amount of punishment he's been able to take.
And that's exactly what he's done tonight.
This is one of the most resilient WWE Superstars of all time.
[Cole] Now with a kendo stick in hand.
[JBL] Now, he's got that kendo stick, and it looks like the upper hand.
[Cole] Oh!
[King] Hard across the big massive back of Ryback.
[JBL] Look at this though. CM Punk is thrown off his game.
[Cole] He's got Heyman barking at him from the top of the cell.
[King] Notice Heyman has not moved one inch.
-He's hanging onto that chain which-- -[JBL] Scared to dear life.
-[King] Yeah, he is. -[JBL] You said he's scared of heights.
-[Cole] Hot running knee. -[King] But obviously more scared of Punk.
[Cole] There's the clothesline. He follows it up.
Now Punk's gonna go up top.
[JBL] But he's got a perfect game plan though, King.
[King] Here he comes!
Oh, he hit it!
[Cole] And he hit it! Is it enough to put Ryback away.
Here's the cover. Off the elbow and Ryback powers out.
What's going through his head?
Now, Punk looking to wear out Ryback.
[Ryback screaming]
[King] Wear him out, he is!
[Cole] Punk's gonna take out his frustration now
with the fact that Heyman's not in this thing
on Ryback perhaps.
-[JBL] Out come the toys! -[audience cheering]
[King] He was starting to bring that table out earlier.
[Cole] Remember the last time these guys used a table?
It was during the Heyman-Punk part of the Handicap Match at Night of Champions.
And Ryback drove Punk through the table.
That was the surprise of the night.
[JBL] No, no, no, no.
Surprise of the night was Paul Heyman pinning CM Punk.
[Cole] Thanks to Ryback.
-[King] Watch out! -[Cole] And Ryback back again.
-Oh, no. -[King] Yeah, Punk may be regretting it.
[Cole] Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding me.
[King] Ryback wanted to throw Punk right on the edge of the table.
[Cole] He still may get his chance right here!
Oh, no!
[JBL] It's all legal.
[laughs evilly]
[King] Is that ethical?
Is Hell in a Cell ethical?
[King] Well, you gotta be-- It's gotta be something.
[JBL] And Heyman had a big laugh off of that one.
[King] Something like it.
[Cole] Ryback again. Is it enough to put Punk away?
Punk stays in it.
There's the resilience John talked about earlier tonight.
The tenacious Punk stays in it.
[JBL] Again, ethical or not, King, it's all legal.
-Paul, now, we finish it! -[Heyman] Finish it!
[JBL] Heyman barking orders.
[Cole] Ryback just screaming, "Now, we finish him."
[JBL] Low blow!
-[Cole] CM Punk, shades of Battleground. -[JBL] That's legal too!
[Cole] Shades of Battleground.
[JBL] That's right. Just like last time they were in a cell.
[Cole] At Battleground earlier on this month,
CM Punk with Ryback on the table.
Gonna go up top.
[King] Oh, no.
-Punk going up. -[Cole] As Heyman looks on.
Driving Ryback through a table.
Can Punk take advantage?
[JBL] Think Punk hurt himself as well.
[King] How could he not?
Yeah, look on in disbelief, Paul.
[audience chanting] CM Punk!
[Cole] WWE fans trying to rally behind Punk.
Ryback stunned. Punk slow to his feet.
Punk with a stick up the side of the face of Ryback.
[JBL] Now, what? Go To Sleep.
-[King] He's got him up! -[JBL] It's Go To Sleep time.
-[King] Look out! -[JBL] He hit him. He hit him.
[Cole] He's got to take advantage here.
Punk rolling toward the cover.
Hooks the leg.
-[referee] One! Two! Three! -[Cole] Yes!
[bell dings]
[CM Punk's theme music plays]
[announcer] Here's your winner, CM Punk.
[JBL] But the one thing CM Punk wanted so badly, he's not gonna get,
and that's Paul Heyman.
[Cole] CM Punk though with the victory here tonight
over Ryback, inside Hell in a Cell,
much to the chagrin of Paul Heyman.
[King laughs] Look at Heyman.
Where you gonna go?
[JBL] CM Punk asking him, "Where you gonna go."
[King] Hey, you know the old saying. What goes up must come down. I mean--
[JBL] And with that ignorant driver Heyman had,
he'd never get back out here in time.
Surely Punk didn't.
[Cole] Yes, he is. Yes, he is.
-[Cole] Oh, here we go! -[King] Come on.
[audience cheering]
-[JBL] Oh, my goodness. -[Cole] But Heyman has nowhere to go.
Paul Heyman's got nowhere to go.
-[King] Yes, he does. -[Cole] Where?
-[King] He could jump! -[Cole] Yeah, okay.
Punk is scaling the cell.
[King] Jump Heyman, the pool's empty.
[Cole] Paul Heyman who's scared of heights, he hasn't moved
from that spot in the cell since he got up there.
Punk peering over the top of the cell.
[JBL] There's nowhere to go. Heyman couldn't climb down.
[Cole] Paul Heyman is about to get his--
[King] Heyman is pleading for his life.
[Cole] And Punk toying with Heyman.
[King] Oh, Punk's gotta be loving this.
He's got him!
Heyman is scared to death.
And he's pleading with Punk.
[JBL] Wouldn't you too?
[all exclaiming]
Punk, showing him what he did, taking out Heyman.
Cutting it loose on Heyman on top of the cell.
[audience chanting]
[Cole] This gotta feel so good for Punk.
[JBL] It's a little over the top though.
[King] No, it's on the top.
[JBL] Of the cell. Just saying.
[JBL] CM Punk needs to stop. Enough's enough.
[Cole] Paul Heyman deserves every bit of this.
-[JBL] No, don't do this. -[Cole] Every bit of this.
[JBL] Don't do this, CM Punk.
-[JBL] Not to your mentor. -[Heyman] Oh, no!
[JBL] Not to the guy who brought you to WWE.
-[audience chanting] -[JBL] Don't do this, CM.
-[King] Are you kidding? -[JBL] This is terrible.
[Cole] On top of Hell in a Cell, Heyman trying something--
Look at him look! Go To Sleep! Paul Heyman!
[CM Punk's theme song plays]
♪ Look in my eyes, what do you see ♪
♪ The cult of personality ♪
♪ I know your anger, I know your dreams ♪
♪ I've been everything you wanna be ♪
[JBL] That's no gratitude for everything that Heyman has done for CM Punk.
[Cole] Well…
[King] CM Punk!
Guys! He actually lived up to everything he said he was gonna do tonight.
It just wasn't inside the cage.
It was on top of the cage!
Well, this cell is even more impressive than I gave it credit for.
It withstood the weight of the Paul-ris
getting put to sleep.
[JBL] This is a shame to see Paul Heyman like that.
[Cole] How good does this feel for CM Punk?
[JBL] It's a tragedy.
[Cole] Oh, come on.
[King] It's a shining moment for the cell.
[Cole] You hear Heyman screaming in pain.
[King] And then this!
Oh!
[JBL] Poor Paul Heyman.
[Cole] Well, go up and help him. Help him down, John.
[King] Yeah. I'd like to see that.
[King] Try to fireman carry him down from the top of the cell.
-[Cole] Celebration time… -[JBL] I'm scared of heights.
-[Cole] …for CM Punk. -[King] Celebration. I like it.
[Cole] I get one every once in a while.
A huge GTS on top of the Hell in a Cell structure
has really lit it up here tonight in Miami,
in our first of two Hell in a Cell matches tonight.
Now with that being said, please welcome my guest at this time, Daniel Bryan.
-Hello. -Hello.
Now, it was only in August when Randy Orton
cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on you.
And since then, there's been so many obstacles been put in your way.
What do you think has been your driving motivation since that's happened?
Um, all I've ever wanted was a chance.
A chance to prove that I can be WWE Champion.
And after months of being screwed around,
I finally have a chance where it's just me and Randy Orton.
And of course, Shawn Michaels.
Who I hope is gonna do what's best for business
and be a fair and impartial referee.
And now for just a little bit of fun.
It was after WrestleMania 2028
in this very arena
when the entire crowd, the whole night, chanted YES.
These people started the YES phenomenon.
And tonight, I reward every one of you and everyone who's ever had to fight
from underneath by winning the WWE Championship.
Yes.
Yes!
Well, meanwhile, you can see the Hell in a Cell still surrounds the ring,
here in the American Airlines Arena.
That is because, up on top of the cell,
the removal has begun, for the carcass of Paul Heyman.
I wish you were 100% right.
Paul Heyman, the suffering from the kendo sticks
and the Go To Sleep from Paul Heyman.
Just a-- Should say CM Punk, just a little bit ago
and Paul Heyman now being helped out of the Hell in a Cell.
They're loving it.
It was so sad to see something like that to happen
to what could be the greatest manager of all time, Paul Heyman.
-[King] Oh, please. -[JBL] Tragedy.
[King] Well, we want to send out a special thank you
right there to Stone Temple Pilots
for our official theme song, "Out of Time."
That's right. Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington, of course.
And that is available right now on iTunes.
Well, you heard moments ago Daniel Bryan explaining that the Yes Phenomenon
took place right here in Miami just a couple of years ago.
So the question for you guys is this. John, I'll start with you.
Can Daniel Bryan do it tonight?
Can he win the championship inside Hell in a Cell?
Yeah, he can. The question is, will he? And I don't think he will.
I think the cell structure favors Randy Orton for Hell in a Cell.
Look at who he's competing against. Look at who he's beat in this thing.
-I think it favors Randy Orton. -[Cole] What about you, King?
[King] I agree that that part favors Randy Orton, but I think, of course,
the wild card that I personally believe favors Daniel Bryan
is that special referee you see right there.
[Cole] The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, best friends with Triple H.
He trained Daniel Bryan.
[King] Let's forget about that best friend part.
[Cole] He's had issues with Randy Orton in the past.
How will Shawn Michaels react tonight?
One thing we do know, he guarantees a new champion tonight.
[King] That's what I like.
-JBL, are you ready? -[JBL] Yes, I'm ready.
-[King] I said, are you ready? -[JBL] I'm ready.
[El Torito's theme music plays]
[King] Rey Mysterio is still sitting next to you, JBL.
-What's going to happen now? -[JBL] Ole!
Wait a minute. Rey is next to me.
[King] It's El Torito.
[JBL] El Burrito?
[King] Torito.
[JBL] Hurray! But it's a black bull.
El Toro es negro.
-[King] So maybe-- -[JBL] The bull has to be brown.
Maybe there is two bulls and maybe one of them is Rey Mysterio.
No, I'm telling you, one of them is Rey Mysterio.
He has a bull outfit that's brown. This one is somebody else.
Maybe Rey Mysterio's cousin or it's a real bull.
[Cole] Maybe El Torito just has two costumes.
[JBL] Bulls don't change skins, Michael.
You don't go to a pen one day and see Bodacious is brown
and come back the next day and see Bodacious is black.
It doesn't happen.
[Cole] Because they are real bulls, John. This is a man in a bull's costume.
-You get that, right? -[JBL] It was a bull in a costume.
[Cole] We've got to take you back to SmackDown from a couple of weeks ago.
[JBL] Ole!
[Cole] What I thought was one of the funniest things ever.
The Usos and the Real Americans were in a matchup and Zeb Coulter,
who was on commentary, had some choice words for El Torito and Los Matadores.
Well, Zeb would come confront the little bull
and Los Matadores in the entranceway.
And watch what happens.
I think one of the greatest moments, King, in SmackDown history.
[King] I loved it. This was disgraceful.
[Cole] Ready? Ready? Ready?
Gore!
[JBL] That's a low gore. Right in the nether regions.
Where is this one?
[Cole] Gore!
-[JBL] You don't see that happen. -[Cole] A buttocks gore!
[JBL] You don't see that happen to Sgt. Alvin York, do you?
[Cole] Meanwhile, back in the ring,
the Real Americans were all distracted and The Usos
would take advantage to pick up the victory.
-[JBL] Who won that? -[Cole] Sgt. Alvin York.
Sgt. York. You didn't see that happen to him.
Zeb's a war hero.
Like Colonel Hackworth.
[King] Wasn't Sgt. York like in the 50s or 60s?
[Cole] No, he's in World War I.
[JBL] That was Zeb in that war.
[Cole] I thought you were talking about the TV show, Sgt. York.
[JBL] No, Sgt. Alvin York.
Most decorated guy in the-- up until World War I.
-[Swagger] Cut the music! -[King] Uh-oh.
You know, I find it entirely fitting that tonight's event is called Hell in a Cell.
Because that's exactly where our opponents belong.
In a jail cell because you're criminals.
You have yet to prove one shred of evidence
that you're in our country legally.
And looking around at this crowd tonight, unfortunately,
the same thing could be said about 80% of you people.
[audience booing]
And let's not forget
that little sawed-off half-man, half-bull
who, let the record show,
assaulted and attacked from the rear, I might add,
a bonafide United States war veteran.
That will not stand.
And I'm embarrassed and I'm ashamed
that we gotta be in this building tonight
and gotta breathe the same air as you three border-hoppin' banditos.
[King] What?
Border-hoppin' banditos?
And that's no bull.
So gentlemen, if you would.
Stand up straight and tall.
Put your hand over your heart.
And in a loud, clear voice, repeat with me.
We the people.
[Cole] I do want to go on record as saying I don't think El Torito's a minotaur.
[King] He's a what?
[Cole] A minotaur. A half-man, half-bull?
[King] Oh. He's a minitaur.
[Cole] Well, he may be a minitaur, but he's not a minotaur.
[JBL] I still think it could be Rey Mysterio.
-[King] No. He's right beside you. -[Cole] Rey is sitting right next to you.
[JBL] How do we know this isn't the fake Rey next to us.
And that's the real Rey in the ring.
[Cole] So Los Matadores against Real Americans.
Antonio Cesaro starting things off against, I believe--
Oh, that is Diego.
It is Diego starting things off for Los Matadores.
It's Antonio Cesaro.
[JBL] Ole!
[Cole] Joining Zeb Colton's ranks a few months back.
[King] Zeb Colton keeps pretending he's a war veteran.
I heard he was shot at by both sides. Is that true?
[JBL] He served his country in 1970.
-[Cole] He did, in Vietnam. -[JBL] In Vietnam.
[Cole] And look at this, Cesaro taken down.
[JBL] It's an honorable thing to do.
[Cole] And I agree with you in a very honorable way,
although he hasn't been conducting himself quite honorably as of late.
[JBL] Yes, he's protecting our borders from banditos.
[Cole] And Jack Swagger…
[JBL] He claims to have kidnapped the little man and stuck him in a--
[Cole] …comes in off the tag.
[King] Oh, there's a--
Like a charging bull.
[Cole] I haven't seen any evidence
of El Torito being held against his will by the Los Matadores.
[JBL] And that is Zeb's point. They all have masks on, Michael.
[King] What?
What does that have to do with anything?
[JBL] You don't know who they are.
[Cole] Yeah, I do.
This is Diego.
[JBL] The only masked man that ever was not a criminal was the Lone Ranger.
[Cole] What about Zorro?
What about Batman?
[King] Yeah!
[Cole] Here's the cover. Hook of the leg.
Green Lantern?
Green Arrow? You want me to go on?
[JBL] Green Arrow? There's no Green Arrow.
[King] Sure there was.
[Cole] And there's El Torito.
[JBL] That is a black bull.
The other bull was brown.
[King] He changed his outfit.
[JBL] How many bulls are there? He has a whole herd of little bitty Toritos.
Toritos in the back somewhere.
[Cole] You once had black hair and a big black mustache.
Then you turned blonde when you became JBL. But you were still the same person.
[King] You turned into a Golden Guernsey.
[JBL] A Golden Guernsey. What? I turned into a Golden Guernsey?
[King] I think El Torito is just a black Angus here tonight.
[Cole] Before he was like a Guernsey.
[Cole] Or a Holstein. Or whatever.
Here we go. Cesaro now preventing
Diego from making an attack.
[JBL] I was looking to see if they had a mini PBR this weekend.
JB Mauney was the PBR champion this weekend.
-[Cole] I had a PBR. -[JBL] He rode Wipeout for eight seconds.
You had a PBR what?
Talking about a professional beer rider?
Not your cheap brew you get down and--
[King] But you said professional beer rider.
[JBL] No. Bull rider.
-[King] You did say beer rider. -[JBL] No, I didn't.
[King] Yeah, you did.
[Cole] Swagger, sent over the top rope.
Fernando trying to make a tag to get into this thing.
And Cesaro not allowing it to happen.
[JBL] They wear their names on the masks.
[King] That's why they wear masks.
To know who they are.
-[JBL] That's what Zeb's point is. -[Cole] Above the top, Cesaro.
[JBL] Ah, here we go!
We're about to have a swinging Juan Belmonte!
Like La Maestranza over in Seville!
-I love it! -[Cole] The Cesaro swing!
[JBL] Three, four, five six. Keep swinging him!
Oh, get that little bull next!
[laughs] This is great! [laughs]
We'll still have time to make South Beach! I'm getting dizzy!
-[King] Yeah. -[JBL laughs]
[JBL] Jose Ortega!
[JBL continues laughing]
He's been spinning!
[King] Just think, he's done this to Brodus Clay.
He's done it to the great Khali.
-[Cole] We lost count. -[JBL laughing]
-[Cole] Yes! Yes! -[King] We got a new?
[Cole] And even Cesaro a bit off in here!
Looking for the cover off the Cesaro Swing!
Almost had him!
[JBL] Treinta y uno. Thirty-one times!
[King] You were counting?
[JBL] Yes, I was counting in Spanish and English!
[man] Come on, come on!
[JBL] I can count and talk at the same time!
[King] Look out.
[Zeb] Hey, hey, hey!
[King] Torito.
Is he up on the ring apron there?
[JBL] Get that little stunt nose bull off that stairs.
[King] Stunt nose?
[JBL] Yeah, with his little ring in his nose.
[Cole] Swagger tag.
Tag made by Los Matadores.
And now the pace will quicken.
[King] Whoa!
[Cole] Flying forearm caught Swagger.
[all exclaiming]
[Cole] Face first! That'll break a nose!
[King] Swagger planted it!
[JBL] He's in and up here.
[Cole] And now it's Cesaro.
Using a bull-like gore.
[King] Break up that--
Again, now what?
[Cole] Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh!
[JBL] The mind of the matador.
[Cole] Oh!
Out of the feet.
[JBL] Uh-oh.
[JBL] Wow!
[Cole] Now, Swagger's got it locked in!
Swagger's got it locked in right in the middle of the ring!
Right in the middle of the ring!
[Cole] Trying to make it to the rope. Look at Cesaro.
[JBL] That is smart of Cesaro.
-[King] Can he do that? -[Cole] I don't believe-- I have no idea.
[JBL] He can do it.
[Cole] Anyway, the official's looking right at it, so I guess it is.
Tag made.
Oh! Double team by Los Matadores.
[man] Come on, come on, come on!
[Cole] Cover!
-It's over! -[JBL] Los Matadores wins again!
[King] Yes!
[JBL] Truth and justice, the American way.
[announcer] Here are your winners, Los Matadores!
[King] You did a great job there, El Torito.
[JBL] Somebody, hoofprint that bull. I guarantee there's more than one of 'em.
There's a whole herd of bulls.
[King] If he keeps doing that well, he'll be El Gran Torito.
[JBL] Or Torito.
[King] What is-- What is Zeb doing?
I think he's a bit upset that the Real American's lost here tonight.
-[JBL] Well, Zeb's a competitor. -[King laughs]
[JBL] No. Don't you--
I think he's had a heart attack.
[King] What? Is he crying?
[JBL] He's having a heart-- Call the doctor.
Call your old doctor, King.
-[King] Zeb's all right. -[JBL] No, he's not. Look at him!
[King] He just didn't realize where he is.
[JBL] Leave him alone!
[King] Oh!
[Cole] Uh-oh, there goes Cesaro, trying to save Zeb!
[JBL] No!
-You can't do that to a war hero like Zeb! -[King] Look out!
Oh!
[JBL] That is a nasty little bull.
[Cole] Fear the bull.
[JBL] The legend lives.
The legend is not a nice one.
Fear the bull is right. And I think there's more than one of them.
There could be hundreds of bulls that Los Matadores has in a herd somewhere
that they're holding prisoner and kidnapped, just like Zeb said.
[King] Look, JBL. El Torito just gave you the hoof.
[JBL] Did he give you the middle hoof?
[Cole] There's only two like that.
-He couldn't give you the middle one. -It's a cloven hoof.
I fear no man, I smell no pain.
Yeah, you smell like him.
Switching gears now.
World Heavyweight Championship up for grabs tonight.
Alberto Del Rio defending against John Cena.
John Cena's latest journey began back in August.
The night after SummerSlam.
John Cena having surgery to repair a torn triceps muscle.
This has been a journey of heart, of perseverance,
and of never giving up.
The WWE medical staff told me that this giant ball of fluid on my elbow
was a result of a torn tricep.
I cannot put off my surgery any longer.
Tonight I leave the WWE.
[Cole] John Cena would require immediate surgery. The surgery went extremely well.
Now comes the hard part.
August 2013.
Do you want to see what my life is all about nowadays?
This sucks.
Day nine. Still can't move my arm.
There's some good bruising on my tricep.
Five days from now when these stitches come out, I can work out.
Well--
Five days, I'll be in a better mood.
Three September, 2013.
I have to wait three more days before I can do any activity.
Cheating the system. Trying to get this thing woke up.
Twenty three days post-surgery.
I got my stitches out.
So, road back starts now.
I'm making huge gains in range of motion.
Yay!
Today the doctors found out what I already know.
That I'm ready.
I've been given the 100% medical clearance.
[bell dings]
I'm coming back. I've been working my tail off in the gym
and I'm coming back sooner than anyone ever thought.
[Alberto] Little Johnny. Juanito.
Sprain your elbow?
You are going soft.
I know John Cena thinks he's like Superman or something.
John Cena is not ready to face the World Heavyweight Champion.
John Cena is fooling himself.
[Cena] I remember when I started, the WWE was a very big part of my life.
And then the WWE became my life.
I don't care if there's fluid in my elbow,
if my arm is strained, if they amputate my left arm.
There is nothing keeping me outside of the ring.
You are not the man you used to be.
I will come back even stronger than I was before.
You want to know what's gonna happen to your injured arm at Hell in a Cell?
I'm gonna put him in the Cross Armbreaker.
-And never… -[Cena] …stronger than I was before.
[Alberto] …never let go.
Alberto Del Rio,
see you
at Hell in a Cell.
[Alberto Del Rio's theme music plays]
[Cole] He is the World Heavyweight Champion.
Alberto Del Rio.
And the words you just heard from Del Rio must be
ringing in the ears of John Cena tonight.
When he said, "You are not the man you used to be."
We're gonna find out here tonight at Hell in a Cell.
[King] The thing that worries me about this match tonight is
I cannot get out of my head
the thought of what Alberto Del Rio did to an injured Dolph Ziggler at one time.
And I'm afraid he may try to do the same thing to John Cena.
[Cole] Don't forget it was right here in Miami in this arena
earlier this year, January 8th to be exact,
when Alberto Del Rio defeated The Big Show in a Last Man Standing Match
to win the World Heavyweight Championship at that time.
Big Show, by the way, as we told you earlier barred from the arena tonight.
A restraining order taken out by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
[JBL] Well, he should be.
He's a seven-foot-tall criminal.
Who no longer works here and keeps barging into Triple H's show.
[King] That smile may be wiped off the face
of the World Heavyweight Champion
in a little while tonight.
[John Cena's theme music plays]
[audience cheering]
-It is good to see you! -[Cole] Oh, yes!
He's back!
John Cena!
John Cena could not wait to return to the WWE,
to return in front of the WWE Universe, to get back in action.
[King] He looks ready!
[Cole] John Cena returning from a torn triceps injury
two and a half months before he was supposed to be back.
He's made a history of this.
He had a torn pec in 2007, returned in four months.
In 2008, a herniated disc in his neck, only missed a few months of action,
returned to win a world title.
2012, bone chips in his elbow, ready to go in two months.
Earlier this year, Achilles tendon injury and he returned in record time,
and now the triceps injury.
[King] Well, he's a living, breathing, walking, talking Superman
when it comes to coming back from injury.
[JBL] He is that, it's unbelievable.
I think it's indescribable that he's even here.
[King] Ah, but here he is, to the delight of the WWE Universe.
He's coming out there with everything that John Cena has on.
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Introducing first the challenger
from West Newbury, Massachusetts,
weighing in at 251 pounds,
John Cena!
[audience cheering]
[announcer in Spanish] Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you from Potosi, Mexico,
weighing in at 239 pounds
he is the World Heavyweight Champion,
Alberto Del Rio!
[Cole] Del Rio versus John Cena, you see Cena wearing the pink shirt to the ring,
the pink ropes as well once again WWE and Susan G. Komen are proud
to join forces to Rise Above Cancer, WWE Superstars and Divas,
wearing pink to the ring throughout all of breast cancer awareness month.
WWE is going to donate to Komen a portion of the proceeds
from all Rise Above Cancer merchandise sold at WWE live events
and at WWEshop.com throughout the end of the year.
Cena's vision last year for the WWE to become involved
in this great cause and here tonight.
[JBL] John Cena certainly looks to be in great shape.
[Cole] John Cena versus Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship.
And here we go.
What do you look for early, John, in this match?
[JBL] You look to see how much rust he has and how much
he has to push off because that's where that tricep affects you.
Look he talked to Dr. Yagnik who's done a lot of NFL surgeries.
Chief Orthopedic Surgeon of West Kendall Baptist Hospital.
He says plain out when a guy has a triceps tear like John Cena has,
they miss a season. Not two and a half months.
[Cole] Look at Del Rio right after the injured arm of course.
[King] That's not good.
[Cole] You see the protective padding over the elbow of John Cena.
John Cena going to take a breather.
He knew coming in Del Rio was gonna target him.
And of course with Del Rio's Cross Armbreaker,
the arm in extreme danger.
[audience chanting] Let's go, Cena!
Been a while since we heard this.
[King] You know what, I'm glad to hear it again.
[JBL] When you come back from a surgery like that, the first thing you need to do
is test that arm, that knee, that whatever it is you feel like you're hurt.
Then you start to realize, "You know what? I think it's okay."
That's what John Cena has to get to.
[Cole] John Cena has been working out for about six weeks now
-but it's not the same. -[King] No, it's not the same at all.
[JBL] You can't replicate what they do right there in that WWE ring
by going StairMaster, by lifting weights, anything.
Especially not to be in there with Mexico's greatest expert Alberto Del Rio.
[King] JBL you said one thing right. You want to test your injuries.
You don't want your opponent to test it. That's what's happening here.
[Cole] You want to talk about how dangerous Alberto Del Rio is
with that Cross Armbreaker, take a look at the man sitting
at the Spanish announce table tonight, Rey Mysterio, and ask him all about it.
Alberto Del Rio cost Rey a number of months of his career
because of that maneuver.
Ask Christian about the Cross Armbreaker.
Ask a number of Superstars how devastating it is.
[JBL] Ask Josh. That was very popular.
[Cole] A broadcast colleague attacked by Alberto Del Rio a couple of weeks back.
Del Rio vicious in his attack here tonight.
[JBL] This is smart by Del Rio.
Start with a very fast pace.
Don't let John Cena catch up. Don't let John Cena get in the groove.
[King] If Del Rio feels a weakness or smells blood--
-[JBL] You think he smells a weakness? -[King] Yeah.
[Cole] Look at John trying to protect the arm. Cena now has to go on the fight.
Cena has to take the fight to Del Rio. Has to be on offense.
Can't be playing defense with that bad wing.
And here's Cena now.
A Bulldog. Cena for the cover. On the world champion.
Hook to the leg, and Del Rio kicks out.
[JBL] And this what you say King is a great analogy when you saw Alberto Del Rio
go after Dolph Ziggler when he had that concussion problem.
-[King] Oh, man. -[JBL] This guy is a predator.
[King] Watch it.
[Cole] Del Rio right to Cena. There's the dropkick to the face of John Cena.
On the apron.
And Alberto Del Rio. Watch how Del Rio targeted the arm.
Kick right to the arm. He saw that coming.
Del Rio claims that Cena's gone soft.
-He's not the man he used to be. -[King] I don't agree with that at all.
But I do worry that John Cena may have come back too soon.
[Cole] That has been the story of this as Del Rio attacks the triceps injury.
The surgically repaired triceps of Cena.
[King] Cena's smart. He knows that if he has to win that championship,
he has to be in the ring.
That's that kick right to the arm of John Cena.
[Cole] Pinfall or submission: only ways Cena can win the title.
Del Rio looks to put the challenger away here.
[referee] Two!
[Cole] Kick-out by Cena. And Alberto Del Rio's done a great job
not allowing Cena much offense in the early going.
Cena in trouble early.
[King] Yeah. I don't like the looks of this.
This, you know, the entrance.
Once the bell rang,
it's really not looking like the John Cena we hoped we'd see tonight.
You gotta give credit to the World Heavyweight Champion
for making him look that way.
[Cole] And here comes Cena.
And again, Del Rio, German suplex to Cena.
And is it enough to put Cena away?
Del Rio throwing Cena over.
And a kick-out at two.
-[JBL] Great game plan by Alberto Del Rio. -[Cole] You're right.
That German suplex seemed to stun Cena.
And now right back on the injured arm of Cena.
-[JBL] Right to the game plan. -[referee] Hey! Hey! Rope break. Hey!
[Cole] Again, there's so much pressure on John here tonight.
It's one thing to return from injury, return from surgery, but you do it quickly
and then you do it under this type of pressure for the world title
against a man who is as vicious and aggressive as Del Rio is.
What can Cena do here, John?
[JBL] He's gotta weather the storm.
He's gotta find a way to get in the groove.
Look what he said was he's coming back in a World Championship Match.
The advisable thing is to come back,
take a few matches before you face Alberto Del Rio.
Not hop immediately into the fire.
[King] I gotta agree with you. But that's not John Cena.
[JBL] No, it's not.
That's one of the reasons he came back after two and a half months.
[King] All of that pressure--
[JBL] I just find it hard to believe that John Cena's 100% healthy.
[Cole] He doesn't look it. I'll be honest with you now.
[King] Del Rio making sure that he stays that way.
[JBL] Del Rio needs to make sure that John doesn't get in the groove.
[Cole] Cena using the bad arm. That was actually a good sign there guys.
And Cena with a dropkick to Del Rio.
[JBL] He had no choice.
[Cole] Yeah, but the fact is he jumped right up out of it
and it didn't seem like it bothered him when he used the arm drag on Del Rio.
[King] A salute to the Universe.
[JBL] That bothered him right there.
[Cole] Again, Cena trying to build a little bit of momentum
and Del Rio slipping out the rally.
[JBL] John Cena's one of the greatest of all time.
He's also one of the toughest of all time.
I think right now he's too tough for his body.
I think this is an ill-advised match for John Cena to take.
[Cole] Del Rio just mocking Cena.
And now, into the cover and this could be it.
On the number one contender who kicks-out at the count of two.
And the win. We haven't talked about Cena's win yet.
I mean, that can't be there either.
[JBL] Alberto Del Rio is about as hardened as you can get right now as a warrior.
He's been fighting night in, night out.
Defending that championship.
Fighting in all kinds of matches on RAW, SmackDown, Pay-Per-Views.
You're fighting a great champion
in the fighting shape of his life in Alberto Del Rio.
[Cole] How many times Cena goes into a matchup as an underdog.
[King] Well, you're right about that, but I'm just trying to think of what,
you know, what's the best type of strategy for John to use.
The longer this match goes, the more it favors Alberto Del Rio.
[Cole] Cena, there you go.
Mr. Money in the Bank,
Damien Sandow, inside that briefcase a contract to cash in whenever he wants
for the World Championship. Will he cash it in tonight?
[JBL] Damien with a very impressive show on the kick-off against Kofi Kingston.
Damien Sandow could leave Miami as the World Champion.
[Cole] Uh-oh. Cena. This is very important here.
Not only does it stun Del Rio, but it buys Cena very valuable time.
-[King] Valuable time. -[JBL] Look at Cena holding that arm.
-That arm's not well. -[King] It's not a good sign.
[Cole] But it allows Cena to try to regroup a little bit here.
Speaking of Sandow, he and Del Rio trending worldwide on Twitter.
John's slow to everything here tonight.
Went over to meet Del Rio at the ropes and Del Rio caught him.
Again to John's point earlier, Del Rio is in perfect condition.
[JBL] Best fighting shape of his life.
Del Rio, Cena caught him! A dropkick by Cena!
A desperate move perhaps, but effective.
[King] Man, oh, man.
Just when you think John Cena's in big trouble,
he pulls out something like that.
[Cole] And here comes Cena. This is what he needs to do, King.
Cena's got to get this momentum rolling here.
[JBL] Shaking up that arm every time he hits him with it.
-[King] It's hurting him, yeah. -[Cole] And John Cena-- Oh.
[King] You can't see me! Cena's still got it!
Five Knuckle Shuffle found its mark!
And now Cena with Del Rio up top.
Looked like he was going for the AA. And backstabber from behind.
And now Del Rio.
That could be the final blow to Cena.
Hook of the leg. John Cena kicks out. Powers out at two.
[King] Let's go back and look just moments ago.
Del Rio coming off the top. And [laughs] John Cena going up top,
catching Del Rio right in midair.
Right in the mouth.
[Alberto] Si! Si! Si!
[JBL] Imagine what if John Cena blows out that tricep. Finds a way to win.
Then again, Sandow comes down here with easy pickings.
[Cole] Now Cena.
Ooh. An elbow.
Looks like Del Rio is going for the enzuigiri and Cena countered.
Now a Tornado DDT off the second rope. Cena for the cover.
And for the World Heavyweight Championship!
Two and a half.
[King] And these two guys are dishing out so much punishment.
Even the winner, no matter who it is, may be easy pickings for Damien Sandow.
[JBL] We can see two new world champions tonight.
Cena finds a way to win and Damien Sandow cashes in.
-[King] Or Alberto Del Rio retains. -[JBL] You're right, King.
We can still see Sandow cash in.
[King] Right!
[audience chanting] Let's go, Cena!
[Cole] John Cena.
Climbing to the top rope.
Alberto Del Rio with an enzuigiri. This time he connects.
Cena landed on the bad arm. Hook of the leg by Del Rio and a kick-out.
Cena not only landed on the bad arm, but he had to use the bad arm to kick-out,
as Sandow looks perked and ready to go here.
[King] Sandow is. He is sitting all ready.
[Cole] And it may be just a matter of time before that man puts away John Cena.
[King] Just waiting for John Cena to get to his feet. There he comes.
This time enzuigiri missed.
And John Cena--
Del Rio coming out. We see him going for the STF.
Now he's going for AA. AA time. Del Rio from behind.
Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Classic Del Rio there.
Hook of the leg. Is it enough for Cena here?
And another near fall for the champion.
[JBL] Can see the strength displayed by Alberto Del Rio.
[Cole] I think Del Rio is feeling pretty confident right now.
[King] He's feeling like Cena is definitely not 100%.
[JBL] Del Rio has kept the pace fast.
Never allowed John Cena to get into a groove.
[audience chanting] Let's go, Cena. Cena sucks!
-[Cole] Oh, no. That's not good. -[King] Oh, man.
[Cole] The bad arm dangling.
And here's Del Rio. Cena!
Using that strong core.
Lifts himself up. Del Rio goes into the post.
[King] This may be it if John is able to capitalize. This may--
This may be the lowest point for Alberto Del Rio right now.
[Cole] John Cena up top. Del Rio coming back to his feet.
What's Cena going to do here?
Crossbody! Lateral press! For the world title.
Near fall for Cena.
[King] Watch this now. Alberto Del Rio, shoulder first into that ring post.
Did you see John Cena land on that crossbody from the top?
He still landed with about 90% of his weight.
[Cole] Oh, and to the bad arm.
[King] That bad arm. Right.
-[Cole] And now for the Cross Armbreaker. -[King] Oh, no.
[Cole] To put Cena away. Cena rolls through.
For the STF. For the STF of the champion.
STF locked in. What's Del Rio gonna do here?
[King] Del Rio's in trouble.
-[JBL] A terrific counter by John Cena. -[Cole] John Cena.
[JBL] Will the bad arm hold out?
[Cole] Enough to keep the STF locked in.
Del Rio trying to make it to the bottom rope.
[King] He's gonna tap.
[Cole] Will Del Rio tap? Cena's bad arm underneath the head of Del Rio.
Look at John Cena. He's got it locked in good.
Del Rio trying to slip that fingertip away.
Two fingers on the bottom rope.
[King] Does that count?
[JBL] Del Rio may have just save his World Heavyweight Championship.
[Cole] It does count. Fingers on the rope, force the break.
[all exclaiming]
[Cole] And Del Rio! That might be it.
[JBL] That's the kick Del Rio won that championship with against Dolph Ziggler.
[Cole] He may retain right now against John Cena here at Hell in a Cell in Miami.
John Cena stays in it.
[King] He is like Superman.
[JBL] Gotta agree with you.
[King] Unbelievable.
[Cole] And now it-- Cross Armbreaker. There it is. the Cross Armbreaker
[JBL] He's in the middle of the ring.
[Cole] Look, Cena trying to counter.
Cena trying to take the pressure off the bad arm.
Cross Armbreaker in. Cena doing all he can to keep the pressure.
[JBL] If he loses that grip. He knows he will lose the match.
He may be going back to the hospital.
[Cole] Look at Del Rio exposing the injury.
Del Rio rolling down the pad to expose the injury.
-[JBL] Come on, John. Tap. Tap, John. -[Cole] There's the bad elbow.
[JBL] No, this is for John Cena.
[Cole] Shoulders are down and he forces it.
John Cena though as he forced the rollout.
Shoulders are down on Del Rio.
-There's the power of Cena. -[JBL] God, no.
-[Cole] The power of John Cena. -[King] Oh, my God.
[Cole] That was creative.
[JBL] That was superhuman.
[Cole] John Cena. Talk about power.
[King] How did-- How did John Cena not tap out?
Unbelievable. The power of John Cena.
-[JBL] And it was-- -[King] Look at this. Look at this.
The AA. No.
[Cole] And Cena with the AA.
The AA.
Hook of the leg. Cena does it.
-Cena does it. -[bell dings]
Cena is the champion.
Cena is the World Champion.
[announcer] Here is your winner and new World Heavyweight Champion,
John Cena!
[King] Amazing!
[Cole] It is John Cena's third World Heavyweight Title.
Fourteen overall including the WWE title.
[JBL] This is incredible.
Two and a half months after John Cena could have had career-ending surgery.
He is now the World Heavyweight champion.
[Cole] A standing ovation for John Cena.
[King] Standing ovation for John Cena.
Justifiably so.
[JBL] We-- We are looking at Superman.
[King] What a comeback!
[JBL] That's incredible.
[Cole] It's been nearly five years since John Cena's held the world title.
An emotional John Cena as he returns tonight!
[JBL] That's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.
That was amazing.
[Cole] John Cena saying thank you to the WWE Universe!
[JBL] Wow.
Hey! You're wrong! You're wrong! I'm good!
[King] He was talking to you, JBL!
You're right. I never would've believed it.
-[Cole] The Champ indeed was here. -[JBL] I've been wrong--
I've been wrong only once in my life.
[Cole] John Cena silenced the critics.
He came back from a near career-ending injury.
[King] Let's watch this as Alberto constantly went after
that injured arm of John Cena.
And then, this vicious kick to the head!
I thought it was over at that point, guys.
But somehow, someway, John Cena persevered.
He survived.
He kept going. He kept fighting.
And finally, look at this.
Got him up. Got him over. AA.
And a new World Heavyweight Champion!
[JBL] I never would've believed it.
Congrats to John Cena.
That was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
[Cole] What an incredible story.
John Cena returns to become World Heavyweight Champion.
An emotional night for Cena in Miami.
[King] John Cena thanking the WWE Universe. That's who he did it for.
Back in the game.
What a triumphant return for John Cena here tonight there at Hell in a Cell.
Amazing. John Cena is just as bulletproof as ever.
He silenced the critics. I guess the few that he had.
We've seen him do magic before.
That was amazing. Standing ovation for the franchise player in the WWE.
And once again, World Heavyweight Champion.
How can you not be on your feet for this guy?
I want to be next in line for the title shot.
Hey, you know what?
The comeback of comebacks.
That's what I call a comeback. You know what I'm saying?
John Cena, the new World Champion.
But, but, we still have the WWE Championship to go.
And I'm still holding my ground.
I still say, Daniel Bryan, yes, yes, yes.
Will be the new face of the WWE.
Maybe, maybe.
Speaking of new champions, Brie Bella
has an opportunity to be the new Divas Champion.
She will be facing off against my former best friend, AJ.
Now tensions are high in the locker room.
There's the cast of Total Divas, the WWE Divas,
and AJ's really just been stirring the pot.
So this is Brie's opportunity to prove her wrong.
Opportunity right now.
Divas Championship coming up right now as we send things back to ringside.
[Cole] Good luck, guys. There's the Divas Champion, AJ Lee.
[bell dings]
[announcer] This contest set for one fall is for the Divas Championship.
Being accompanied to the ring by Tamina Snuka from Union City, New Jersey,
she is the current Divas Champion, AJ Lee.
[Cole] AJ Lee set to defend the championship here tonight.
At the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View.
[AJ Lee's theme song plays]
[King] And what a Pay-Per-View it's been.
WWE Hell in a Cell is presented by WWE 2K14, the video game.
You can become immortal.
It's in stores Tuesday.
[Brie Bella's theme song plays]
[announcer] Introducing the challenger.
Being accompanied to the ring by Nikki, from Scottsdale, Arizona.
Brie Bella.
[Cole] So Brie Bella with an opportunity to win the Divas title tonight.
Remember, back on RAW last week, Brie actually pinned AJ.
When Brie and Nikki knocked off AJ and of course her protector, so to speak, Tamina.
[King] Brie Bella. Do you think it's a burden being that beautiful?
[Cole] You know we mentioned earlier that WWE and Susan G. Komen
are proud to join forces to Rise Above Cancer.
WWE is going to donate to Komen
a portion of the proceeds from all Rise Above Cancer merchandise
sold at WWE live events and on WWEshop.com through the end of the year.
So, AJ Lee and Brie Bella meet again tonight.
They met at Battleground earlier this month.
[bell dings]
[Cole] And Brie has been on quite the roll.
AJ Lee who has enlisted the services of her new friend Tamina.
Nikki at ringside on the other side for her sister Brie.
Kaitlyn on our expert panel.
We talked a little bit tonight about problems in the Divas locker room.
And about those who have been on the Divas show.
Total Divas on E.
Here's the kick-out.
AJ has had problems with those.
Here we go. Shoulders down. Nice roll-through by Brie Bella.
[King] I don't understand why the Bellas are on the JBL and Cole Show too.
[JBL] That's part of the Halloween special this week.
[King] Somehow I suspect that if AJ Lee were a regular on the Total Diva show,
it wouldn't be a problem.
[Cole] Oh, man! Great move by Brie. Is it enough?
Hook of the leg here. And a kick-out by AJ.
[JBL] I think he figured it out, King.
[Cole] Brie Bella could win the Divas Championship tonight.
And her fiancé Daniel Bryan could perhaps win the WWE Title.
God, they'd be like Hagrid and Bishop Barron.
[King] They'd be like, what? Who?
[Cole] Hagrid.
[King] Hagrid?
-You called Tamina Hagrid? -[referee] Get back to the ring, come on!
[Cole] And AJ prancing around.
[JBL] I wouldn't call Tamina anything but beautiful.
-She's a very tough lady. -[King] You're not kidding.
[Cole] AJ. Crawling to the cover.
Hooks both legs and Brie kicks out.
[JBL] AJ couldn't have picked a better compadre.
[King] But you gotta watch your back, so to speak.
[Cole] And Tamina.
And Tamina's been very effective too.
AJ has said that she only really has two friends.
Tamina and the Divas Championship
which she claims will never leave her side.
[JBL] She has a tattoo of it. Of course, it won't.
[Cole] She has a tattoo on the back of her neck, AJ does,
of the date that she won the Divas Championship.
[JBL] She's kind of the Katharine McPhee of the WWE.
Two! Three!
[King] Who is Katharine McPhee?
[JBL] I don't know. Just caught kissing Michael Morris, the director.
Yep.
[Cole] She was part of an NBC show, Smash.
She's an actress and singer.
Oh! Neckbreaker.
[King laughing] What?
[King] AJ now just having her way in this match.
[JBL] I'm making an analogy, King, for people to understand
because it's a pop-cultural reference. It's what I do.
I admit, Rocky Marciano is not exactly a pop-cultural reference,
-but Katharine McPhee is! -[King] Okay.
Whoa.
AJ, uh-oh, look at AJ now.
Got Brie Bella all wrapped up.
[Cole] Nikki trying to rally her sister.
AJ Lee looking to put Brie away for the Divas Championship.
We're at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View event in Miami.
[Cole] Brie seems to be fading here.
[King] I'm telling you, not only does AJ have all of her weight on Brie,
she's got her neck wrapped up.
Gotta be cutting off a little bit of that air supply.
-But look at this! -[Cole] Oh!
And AJ hit the back of her head on a turnbuckle.
And now Brie, missile dropkick.
And the Divas Champion's in trouble.
And Brie looking to build momentum.
[King] I don't think AJ Lee was expecting that.
[JBL] Boy, I've been impressed with Brie Bella's athleticism
over the past couple of months.
[King] She certainly turned it up a notch.
[JBL] Has she ever.
She's been fantastic.
[Cole] Drop kick again to AJ.
Now Brie Bella maybe closing in on the Divas Championship.
-[JBL] We could see another championship-- -[Cole] Cover for the Divas title here!
Kick-out!
[JBL] Could see another championship change hands.
We've seen history tonight, John Cena becomes the World Heavyweight Champion.
I was wrong for the first time ever.
[Cole] First time in like five minutes.
AJ, Brie goes face-first off the turnbuckle.
Now, AJ may have Brie in position here for that submission maneuver.
[Cole] Going for the Black Widow.
-Brie countered. -[JBL] What a great counter by Brie.
-[King] Look at this. -[Cole] Oh, half crab.
[King] Look at this!
[Cole] There's the half crab that Brie has used very well.
-[King] That's brought Tamina to her feet. -[Cole] And there's Nikki!
Tamina face-first off the apron.
And now Nikki and Tamina going at it out here.
And AJ, meanwhile in the half crab,
makes it to the rope and forces the break.
[JBL] And Nikki Bella--
[Cole] Oh, and Brie!
AJ moved out of the way and Brie inadvertently ran into her sister.
-[King] Oh, no! -[Cole] And now AJ!
Looking for the Black Widow.
The submission maneuver on Brie.
She's got it locked in.
Brie trying to hang on but she's got to tap out.
[bell dings]
[AJ Lee's theme song plays]
[announcer] The winner of this match and still Divas Champion,
AJ Lee!
[JBL] Well, Tamina still paying dividends.
♪ Let's light it up ♪
♪ Let's light it up like the night ♪
♪ Like the diamonds as they shine In your eyes ♪
♪ Light it up, light it up Light it tonight ♪
♪ Let's light it up ♪
[JBL] I don't know how much credit Tamina can take for that victory.
[King] I hate to-- I gotta hand it to AJ. That was pretty resourceful on her part.
-Look at this-- -[Cole] Half crab.
-Tamina up on top. -[King] Tamina hit that turnbuckle.
Thanks to Nikki.
Or not turnbuckle, but ring apron, thanks to Nikki Bella.
And it was just a mistake on the part of the Bellas
which they don't make very often. And then look at that.
AJ Lee locks it in.
[JBL] Yeah, but the whole outside problem started with Tamina
hopping up on that ring apron, King.
That's why you hire an enforcer.
[Cole] AJ Lee is still the Divas Champion.
-WWE 2K14… -Becoming immortal.
Wham! You know what I'm saying?
Look at this. Come on, come on, give me some.
You wanna play?
You know, you guys are quagmired in a sea of hypocrisy.
"Quagmired"?
Mr. Backlund, how you doing, sir?
And why you so sweaty?
-Sweaty? -Yeah.
We're talking a video game.
-We're talking young kids. -Okay.
And I'm enthusiastic about kids.
They need to read, write, and do arithmetic.
And be able to learn the skills to be successful in life, young man.
Sir, sir, sir, they're not only gonna have a chance, because of WWE 2K14,
to become successful in life,
they're gonna have a chance to become immortal.
-Immortal? -Immortal.
I'm talking about over 30 years of WrestleMania moments, sir.
Sir, you're a Hall of Famer.
Boy, you are sweaty. You worked out before you got in here?
We got mad respect for you.
Sir, I'm talking about millions of people along with you
can become immortal, do everything through WWE 2K14.
Sir, you know how to dance?
I know how to-- I get down and dance every day.
What are you trying to do, twerk?
Is that what they call it?
No, we're talking about WWE--
we're talking about primetime players dancing right now, sir.
-We're talking about millions of dollars. -I think I can do that, too.
Come on, wrap-around, wrap-around, not too tight.
-Loosen up, sir. -On my two, let's do it, baby!
Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars! Millions of dollars!
[Cole] Earlier tonight, there were laughs between Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
Now, it seems things have turned to business.
Triple H, the COO, his friend Shawn Michaels
is the special guest referee for our Main Event, tonight.
We are in Miami, Florida.
We're at the home of the defending NBA champions, the Miami Heat.
The American Airlines Arena, tonight, host of Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View event.
And our Main Event tonight, coming up next,
will be contested inside the 20-foot high, 5-ton structure known as Hell in a Cell.
Daniel Bryan looks to defy the odds and win the vacated WWE Championship.
But this all came to a head when Shawn Michaels
was voted the special guest referee for this matchup.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to find out who you, the WWE Universe,
voted to be the special referee at Hell in a Cell.
[Cole] Record-setting vote tonight on the WWE app.
[JBL] The Heartbreak Kid!
[King] Oh, yeah! The Showstopper!
[Cole] There's so many layers to this story for Shawn Michaels.
[Shawn] Many moons ago, I trained a young man who had aspirations
of becoming a WWE Superstar.
And that man was Daniel Bryan.
On the other hand, I've never liked Randy Orton.
And yes, my best friend is still Triple H.
But this Hell in a Cell match, it isn't about me.
Two men are gonna walk inside the Hell in a Cell.
And I guarantee you, one man will walk out the new WWE Champion.
[Orton] Shawn, I'm no fool.
If you screw me over, there'll be no coming back from what I do to you.
I know you think you're gonna put your hands on me in Hell in a Cell.
If you do, I'm gonna kick that pretty head off of those pretty shoulders.
[Cole] Now look at this, Randy Orton went for the RKO!
And Sweet Chin Music attempted by the Heartbreak Kid!
Look Shawn, I don't know if you've noticed or not,
but things have changed around here.
Insolence will not be tolerated.
Anybody that defies our authority will crumble!
You're fired!
Believe me, I've noticed.
[Triple H] The dawning of a new era.
Randy Orton is the new face of the WWE.
It's what's best for business.
You don't think Daniel Bryan can be the WWE Champion?
All you are is a B-plus player.
The face of the WWE.
They said the same thing about me.
Wouldn't waste my time with you.
And to be perfectly honest, they said the same thing about you.
Shawn Michaels shouldn't have wasted his time training you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What do you have against him?
Is it that he's smaller than you?
Is it because he marches to the beat of a different drum?
Or is it because, after everything you've put him through,
it's turned out that he proved you wrong?
I told you, Hunter, he's got an agenda against me.
I can see it.
No, Randy.
At the end of the day,
Shawn will do what's right.
What's best for business.
You're right.
I'm gonna do what's right for the business I love.
I'm gonna do what's right for the business they love.
These people voted for me to guarantee them a new WWE Champion.
And that's exactly what I'm gonna give them.
[bell dings]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Hell in a Cell match
for the vacant WWE Championship.
Introducing at this time, your special guest referee,
WWE Hall of Famer,
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
[Shawn Michaels' theme music plays]
♪ I think I'm cute ♪
♪ I know I'm sexy ♪
♪ I've got the looks ♪
♪ That drives the girls wild ♪
♪ I got the moves ♪
♪ That really move them ♪
♪ I send chills ♪
♪ Up and down their spine ♪
[Cole] Guys, here's a man who knows a thing or two about Hell in a Cell matches.
He's won three times inside Hell in a Cell.
He was in the first one ever back in 1997.
In fact, he's been a referee inside Hell in a Cell.
WrestleMania 28, the classic Triple H versus The Undertaker.
So Shawn Michaels should feel at home in this match tonight.
And the legend has guaranteed a champion will be crowned.
♪ I have voices in my head ♪
♪ They come to me ♪
♪ They understand ♪
♪ They talk to me… ♪
[announcer] The challenger first, from St. Louis, Missouri,
weighing 245 pounds, he is The Viper,
Randy Orton!
[King] Well, Shawn Michaels should feel at home with this man
because he's had a storied history with The Viper.
[Cole] Yeah, Randy Orton, in fact, with a punch to Shawn Michaels' head,
cost Shawn Michaels a number of months of his career as Randy Orton
gets set to enter Hell in a Cell for the fifth time in his career.
The WWE Championship has been held in abeyance.
It's been vacant since September 16th.
That was the night after a Night of Champions.
Controversy abound when we thought Daniel Bryan had won,
but then some shenanigans with referee Scott Armstrong
led to the title being held up.
Big Show destroyed everyone at Battleground,
so here we are tonight with the title still vacant.
[JBL] Yeah, but the big story, Michael, is Randy Orton though,
before he's been in Hell with John Cena,
Sheamus, Mark Henry, and The Undertaker.
Daniel Bryan has never been in Hell in a Cell.
[King] Well, that will be a difference, I'm afraid.
[Cole] Remember, Randy Orton, though, this Friday night on SmackDown,
was pinned by Daniel Bryan in a Tag Team match.
Perhaps momentum in Bryan's favor.
[Daniel Bryan's theme music plays]
[announcer] And his opponent, from Aberdeen, Washington, weighing 210 pounds,
Daniel Bryan!
[Cole] It was a great interview on WWE.com this week with this man, Daniel Bryan,
about his first trip inside Hell in a Cell.
Daniel Bryan admitted that Randy Orton is a great competitor,
but he says, quote, "I am not in the least bit scared.
Randy Orton, you are gonna get your head kicked in tonight."
[King] Well, of course, he's not scared, but the question is, is he going to suffer
from the experience of Randy Orton, who knows this structure very well?
[Cole] It's one thing to say you're not scared.
It's another thing when The Cell actually comes down and surrounds the ring, King.
[King] Excuse me, guys, I'm just in awe of these thousands of people saying,
"Yes, yes, yes!"
[Triple H's theme song plays]
[King] Oh, no!
No, no!
[JBL] Well, look who's gonna grace us with his appearance!
The COO of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Triple H!
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the COO of WWE,
Triple H!
[Cole] Triple H told me last week in an interview on WWE.com,
that he dares Daniel Bryan to prove him wrong tonight
inside Hell in a Cell.
♪ Where the traitor lost both his name And his face… ♪
And he's carrying with him the WWE Championship.
Over 50 years old, and it's been vacant since mid-September.
And there's the man Triple H, guys, wants to be
the face of WWE, Randy Orton.
[JBL] It's disrespectful.
-[Cole] You can't blame him. -[JBL] Yeah, you can.
[Cole] After everything Triple H has said to this young man.
In fact, Triple H cost Daniel Bryan the WWE Title back at SummerSlam.
When he pedigreed Bryan, when he was special guest referee.
[JBL] He refereed the match that was after the match, Michael.
-[King] Oh, here it comes. -[JBL] Here we go.
[Cole] Earlier tonight, CM Punk knocked off Paul Heyman, Ryback,
inside Hell in a Cell.
[King] Well, Ryback inside, Paul Heyman outside, on top of.
But this one looks like it's gonna all be inside.
[Cole] So Randy Orton gets set to take on Daniel Bryan.
The cell will enclose the ring, imprison these men.
With Shawn Michaels, the special guest referee inside.
[JBL] Shawn Michaels has guaranteed that we will have a new WWE Champion tonight.
[bell dings]
[Cole] And the cage door has now been locked by the officials.
You win via pinfall or submission.
Orton and Bryan one more time
for the WWE Championship, which is here at ringside.
[JBL] Obviously no disqualification, no countout.
[Cole] And Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton gonna slug it out to start things off.
[King] That does not favor Daniel Bryan.
[Cole] Not at all. And Randy Orton--
[King] You don't need to get in a slugfest, especially
not inside Hell in a Cell with Randy Orton.
[Cole] Randy Orton knows every nook and cranny inside the Cell.
And Daniel Bryan runs in the powerslam by Randy Orton.
Daniel Bryan.
Getting to crawl up top rope. Now Daniel Bryan gonna go up high.
Missile dropkick. Knocks Orton off his feet.
Daniel Bryan said that he has pride and he has honor.
He was all about making a living in this business when he first started.
But now his goals have changed.
Success makes you better. You want to be champion.
His crowning achievement he said would be
beating Orton tonight inside Hell in a Cell.
Orton with a dropkick. right on the button.
[JBL] A little scouting is going on by The Viper.
-[King] You can't get too fancy. -[Cole] Randy Orton again.
Forearm in the face of Bryan.
Remember these two men have headlined Pay-Per-Views
over the past couple of months.
They know each other so well.
[audience booing]
[JBL] Randy Orton looks quite at home in there.
[Cole] Now Orton--
Midsection of Bryan on the top ropes.
Randy Orton simply said to Daniel Bryan, "I am better than you."
[King] Randy Orton certainly believes that.
Triple H believes that. The Authority believes that.
[Cole] Randy Orton guaranteed that he'd be WWE Champion tonight.
And Daniel Bryan again.
[King] But Daniel Bryan has made a career out of proving people wrong about him.
Michael's asking Daniel Bryan and Shawn Michaels who trained this young man,
Daniel Bryan.
Randy Orton again to the ribs in midsection.
And Orton-- Bryan goes right off the cell.
[JBL] Welcome to Hell in a Cell, Daniel.
[King] Hear that cell rattle.
That impact.
[Cole] Daniel Bryan will not go down without a fight in this matchup.
[King] Listen to this.
[Cole] He's come a long way.
As Randy Orton sent Bryan into the steel steps.
And again, Orton knows every part of this cell.
[King] Randy Orton, who, you said, no stranger to this cell.
He will be one of the first to use it at every opportunity as his ally.
[Cole] He's called the Apex Predator for a reason.
[King] He wants to make this cell Daniel Bryan's worst enemy.
[JBL] Daniel Bryan's a great competitor. You know he's not gonna quit.
But he's just against the face of the WWE.
[Cole] Daniel Bryan.
That steel-- The steel steps right off the shoulder of Bryan.
[JBL] It's all legal.
[Cole] Shawn Michaels is over there checking on Daniel Bryan,
making sure it's okay, as Randy Orton just tosses away the hardware.
[King] Those steel steps are exactly where he wants them.
[Cole] And he has the pace Randy does exactly where he wants it.
[King] You're right. This is-- This is what he envisioned.
That's the way he wanted this match to go.
As he's just grinding the head and ears of Daniel Bryan in that steel cell.
[Cole] Complete malice from Orton.
-[King] Watch it. [Cole] Bryan reverses it.
[King laughs]
[Cole] Into the steps that he set up. But now Daniel Bryan looks to regroup.
WWE fans, trying to will Daniel Bryan on.
[King] Yes, yes, yes.
Watch this reversal.
[Cole] Now Bryan kicks. That he's made it famous.
And now he-- It's Bryan using that cell to his advantage.
[JBL] You think Bryan's a quick learner?
-[King] Oh! -[Cole] Wow.
[man] Be safe.
[King] Orton headfirst into those-- He thought the cell was bad.
He was introduced headfirst to those steel steps.
[JBL] Don't bring out something you don't want to get hit with.
[Cole] Here's Daniel Bryan for the cover for the championship.
Shawn Michaels in position and a kick-out by Randy Orton.
Daniel Bryan has come a long way since 1999
when he first trained at Far West Rodeo in San Antonio, Texas.
Under the tutelage of Shawn Michaels, making $25 to $30 a night.
When asked about Shawn Michaels, when asked about Daniel Bryan in those days,
Shawn Michaels said it was all about cardio, cardio, cardio.
Daniel Bryan, in incredible shape.
[JBL] As is Randy Orton.
[Cole] Nobody's ever disputed that.
Randy Orton is one of the best of all time.
[King] In this spot, Randy Orton's fault that he's got a great pedigree.
Randy Orton is the third-generation Superstar.
[Cole] He's won seven WWE Championships.
Daniel Bryan has Orton exactly where he wants him.
[audience chanting] Yes!
[Cole] Oh, Bryan!
What do you say, Randy? What do you say?
[Orton] No.
[Cole] Bryan looking to wear down Randy.
He may have saved himself, but not there.
Orton and he bounced off the cell as he came over the top rope.
[King] Flipped Randy Orton right over the top. Now, here comes Daniel Bryan.
Bryan and Orton goes slamming into the cell.
[JBL] Flying ghost!
[Cole] And this is the pace that Bryan wants now.
[Cole] Again Orton!
And now it's Bryan punishing Orton.
[JBL] The tenacity, the drive to be the best.
[Cole] And Daniel Bryan, though, went to the well once too often.
Head first off the cell as Orton sidesteps.
[man] Get up, Daniel!
[King] Not good.
[JBL] Not good if you're Daniel Bryan.
-[King] Watch this. -[JBL] Randy Orton in and out.
[King] Randy Orton is certainly not gonna give Daniel Bryan
any time to recuperate.
Oh, no!
[Cole] Orton usually does this in the middle of the ring.
Not outside like that!
Bryan buckling!
[King] Let's go back one more time
and look at Daniel Bryan crash and burn right here.
Look at that cell.
[Cole] Randy Orton has Bryan right where he wants him.
The slow dissection of Bryan by The Viper.
Now Randy Orton covers. Hook of the leg.
[King] Shawn Michaels has to dive into position.
[Cole] Number one trend in the world continues to be #hellinacell.
The world talking about this event tonight.
Our Main Event.
Orton and Bryan for the vacated WWE Championship.
Shawn Michaels voted in as special guest referee
by a record-setting vote on the WWE app by you, the WWE Universe.
[King] Randy Orton feeling so confident right now,
that he's just literally taking his time, having his way with Daniel Bryan,
doing absolutely anything he pleases.
[Cole] We saw Bryan pick the pace a little earlier today
but this pace right here, is what Randy Orton wants.
[Cole] Oh, man!
Vicious headbutts!
[King] And this crowd, they've got to be careful because
it's Randy Orton just delivering more and more punishment.
[Cole] Yeah, and the crowd's gonna make him do it.
[King] Exactly. He's mocking the crowd.
[JBL] Oh, the crowd's giving their disrespect to Randy Orton.
[King] Please.
[Cole] Bryan up over top rope,
It looked like he was going for a sunset flip.
Randy Orton, man!
[King] Powerbomb! He turned it into a powerbomb!
[Cole] Great counter by Bryan. Can he take advantage though?
-[JBL] Powerbomb off that second rope. -[King] Orton is hurting.
[JBL] Daniel Bryan's trying to get a cover here.
[King] Daniel Bryan has taken some abuse.
[Cole] Normally, the referee would be counting at this juncture,
but no count-outs, no disqualifications.
[King] Not inside that cell.
[Cole] Pinfall or submission, we're gonna have a winner tonight.
Shawn Michaels guaranteed it.
-[Cole] Oof! -[King] Wow.
[audience] Yes!
[audience] No!
Yes!
No!
Yes!
No!
[quicker] Yes! No!
[Cole] Here we go! Turning it up!
[King] This is unbelievable!
I'm not talking because I want to hear the impact.
Both Superstars giving as good as they get.
[Cole] Daniel Bryan! Here we go now!
Perhaps a little shift in momentum.
Could this be the turning point of the match for Bryan?
Orton's dominated.
Is it Daniel Bryan's time now?
[King] He may be getting that second wind here.
There he comes!
[Cole] This is that tenacity we talk about in the heart of this kid.
Everything he's fought through to get to this moment.
Everything that Triple H and company
have put him through for the past couple of months.
Daniel Bryan looking to feed off that emotion right here.
Randy Orton taken off the top rope!
[JBL] And Triple H is the one that put this match together, by the way.
He's the one that gave Daniel Bryan this opportunity.
[Cole] He's such a giving man. Daniel Bryan, top rope.
Randy Orton in trouble.
There it goes.
-Look at Bryan. -[King] Here he comes!
[Cole] Headbutt connecting!
Is it enough for Bryan to win the championship?
Inside leg hook! Orton at two!
[JBL] All that bashing you two do of Triple H.
Remember, he's the one that set up this match for Hell in a Cell
and gave the WWE Universe a chance to choose the referee.
I would call that best for business.
[King] I have to tell you this about Triple H.
I bet he almost had apoplexy at that point.
That was almost a three count.
Daniel Bryan was almost the face of the WWE and the WWE Champion.
[JBL] Can you imagine Stephanie McMahon watching this?
[King] Watch. Whoa!
[Cole] Randy Orton, gonna roll up Bryan here.
Is it enough to win the championship?
Daniel Bryan looks to counter to the Yes Lock.
Looking for the Yes Lock. Remember…
[King] Can he get it locked off? -[Cole] Pinfall or submission.
[Cole] The Yes Lock is locked in.
Randy Orton trying to get back to his feet to alleviate the pressure here.
Randy Orton trying to do what he can.
Remember here, Randy Orton with the rope, but he can't force a break.
There's no disqualification.
Randy Orton, you hear Shawn Michaels yelling there.
"I don't have to break it."
[King] He lives up to his Viper name and squirms out of that Yes Lock.
[Cole] And now it's Daniel Bryan taking advantage of the Hell in a Cell.
[King] Randy Orton, bouncing off and being sent right back in.
And now it's Daniel Bryan with a mean streak.
[JBL] Little turnabout's fair play.
[King] Unforgiving steel, making it to--
[Cole] Oh, man!
[Cole] What is Bryan looking for here?
-[JBL] Things are getting interesting. -[Cole] Uh-oh, uh-oh.
[Cole] Remember, you can use all the toys you want inside the cell.
[man] You got him, Randy, you got him, Randy!
[Randy screams]
-[King] Watch it here. -[Cole] Bryan looking to wear Orton down.
And again!
[man] Come on, Daniel!
[JBL] Is there a Home Depot under there?
[Cole] Daniel Bryan with three chairs!
[King] What?
[King] What's he looking for?
[Cole] More chairs.
[King] How many does he need?
[Cole] He can sit a baseball team in the ring with that many.
[King] Come on, JBL, you counted the swings of star earlier.
How many chairs are in there?
[JBL] Well, a lot of-- Twelve!
We count everything.
[Bryan] Out of my way, Shawn.
[JBL] You hear that? "Get out of my way, Shawn."
[King] Randy Orton out with his steel chair and he's not finished yet.
[Cole] It's been a long time coming for Daniel Bryan.
To have this moment, to have this night.
To be able to do this after all the things Orton said about him.
He's not the guy.
[JBL] What's he doing with all these chairs?
[Cole] Whatever he wants. I don't--
[JBL] I understand that. What is it?
[King] As if that cell was not dangerous enough.
[Cole] Oh, Randy Orton!
Now, it's Randy Orton with the chair.
And he begins the attack on Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan gonna rue the day
putting that many chairs in the ring, is Randy Orton.
Now Orton cover for the WWE Championship.
And a kick-out at two.
[JBL] Stephanie McMahon just had a hiccup.
-[King] Another chair. Oh! -[JBL] Wow.
[Cole] Again, the vicious Viper. Is that enough?
And Bryan again kicks out.
[King] Steel cell. Now these steel chairs.
[Cole] It was the words of Stephanie McMahon
that brought this Randy Orton out.
Brought Orton out of his shell.
The old Orton.
[JBL] Yeah, isn't it great that he is?
I love this Randy Orton.
[Cole] Now Orton again. On another chair to the back.
Looks to win. And Bryan again kicks out.
This kid continues to stay in it.
[King] He continues to stay in it for the moment.
But how much more of this kind of physical abuse can Daniel Bryan stand?
How much could anybody take?
[JBL] He's building a bonfire.
I'd like to see the metal burning.
[Cole] As Randy Orton continues to stack chairs in the middle of the ring.
[JBL] If it gets hot enough, it will.
[Cole] What has Orton got in mind here?
Whatever he wants, Michael, I'd give you the same answer.
-[Cole] Oh, no. -[JBL] What do you think he's got in mind?
[Cole] Randy Orton.
You gotta be kidding me. No, no, no, no, no.
[King] Man is this what The Authority has driven The Viper to?
[Cole] And Daniel Bryan realizing that the match hangs in the balance here.
Fighting with all he's got.
And now Daniel Bryan up top. Randy Orton stunned for a moment.
Oh, and down goes Bryan.
And Orton gonna try it again.
Randy Orton gonna try it again.
[JBL] This isn't good. This isn't good.
[Cole] You gotta be kidding me. God!
[Cole] Even the referee, Shawn Michaels, felt that one.
Shawn is powerless to do anything.
He's just gotta count the one, two, three, here.
For Randy Orton, maybe the championship.
And Bryan again stays in it.
[Shawn] He's kicking it out.
[Orton] That was three, Shawn!
[Cole] Uh-oh.
[audience chanting] Asshole! Asshole!
[indistinct chatter]
You gonna go kill the guy, huh? Come on.
-Just go back! -He was down.
-Shawn. -Just let me do this.
Just go back, all right?
-[Triple H] Do your job. Do it right. -[Shawn] I'm doing it!
[Cole] Triple H and Shawn Michaels are arguing
and Randy Orton's tossing Bryan all over the place.
And Randy Orton with the cover here on Daniel Bryan.
And Triple H is begging Shawn Michaels to go do his job.
And now Orton's upset.
What was that? Are you kidding me?
I told you to get off my back.
Hey! Don't use him as an excuse.
-Get out of here. -You should be in there doing your job.
-I'm doing it. -That's a bunch of bull. And you know it.
You've been snow-calling me all night.
I had enough. He's kicked out at two.
You know what you've been doing. I know. I know what you're thinking.
You know what? No! It's not gonna happen.
Get off my back.
Shawn. Are you gonna do this or not?
Shut up! Let me do this.
[Cole] Now, Daniel Bryan looking to get Randy Orton into the Yes Lock perhaps.
Randy Orton trying to stay out of it.
Shawn Michaels completely distracted by Triple H there
and now trying to refocus on this match.
[all exclaiming]
DDT by Orton.
[Triple H] This is it, Shawn.
-[King] What is he doing? -[Cole] What's gotten into him?
[King] Screaming at Shawn, "Just do your job." What is he doing?
[Cole] Shawn's saying, "Let me do it."
Now Randy Orton going for the RKO on Daniel Bryan.
And Randy Orton shoved into Michaels inadvertently by Daniel Bryan.
[Triple H] Shawn, you all right?
Shawn, are you all right?
[King] Let's see what happened.
[Cole] Triple H screaming at Shawn. Shawn is looking back at Triple H.
The collision occurred and now Triple H ordering the official to open the cell.
You see the man behind Triple H, that's Dr. Sampson.
He's our ringside doctor-- Daniel Bryan!
Bryan exploded with a knee to the skull!
This should be over but there's no official!
Daniel Bryan's got Orton pinned!
Shawn! Shawn, you gotta get up and count.
You gotta get up and count! Shawn, come on!
Come on, Shawn, you gotta get up and count!
You gotta get up and count!
You all right, Shawn? You okay?
[man] He's okay!
[King] Oh, Daniel--
[Cole] Oh, my God! Daniel Bryan just took out the COO!
Daniel Bryan had had enough!
[audience chanting] Yes! Yes! Yes!
[Cole] Woah, a Sweet Chin Music! To Daniel Bryan!
Randy Orton into the cover!
What does Shawn do here?
Shawn's gonna count to one, two, three!
-Orton's the champion! -[bell dings]
[Randy Orton's theme song playing]
[Cole] What just happened?
[announcer] The winner of this match and new WWE Champion
Randy Orton!
[JBL] I'll tell you what just happened.
Randy Orton is the WWE Champion and the face of this company.
