[Corey] It is a night where people's lives will be changed
inside a dangerous, perilous, hazardous structure.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking live
at the state-of-the-art WWE ThunderDome at Amway Center,
where thousands of WWE fans from around the world
are joining us live tonight to experience Hell in a Cell.
You know, ladies and gentlemen, in 1997,
The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels
became the first two human beings to ever step foot inside this structure.
And over the years, it has become even more menacing.
Twenty feet tall, weighing five tons, thousands of square feet of chain link,
all enclosing superstars in their own personal Hell.
[Cole] Hello again, everybody, at ringside.
From Friday Night SmackDown on Fox, I'm Michael Cole. He's Corey Graves.
And Corey, our first match tonight is all about family.
You're talking about an issue so deeply personal,
it's transcended the walls of WWE
and has permeated every aspect of the competitors' family lives.
[Cole] Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, the challenger is Jey Uso.
He takes on his cousin, the Universal Champion,
The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns,
inside Hell in a Cell in an I Quit Match.
Reigns has now employed as his own mouthpiece,
his special counsel, Paul Heyman.
[Heyman] Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we are all here
to officially declare Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief.
I don't want you to call me that. I don't want you to acknowledge me
as The Tribal Chief because he didn't acknowledge me.
Acknowledge me.
Say it to me.
I want you to call me chief.
I want my cousin to come out here.
Jey, I want you to come out here right now.
All I wanted was to represent our family
to the fullest,
to share the main event with you.
And what did you do?
You disrespected me.
All you had to do were to say the words, acknowledge me.
You broke my heart.
[Jey] I don't know you.
At Clash of Champions, you showed your true colors, Us.
You're supposed to be my cousin.
Acknowledge me.
[Jey] My blood, my family.
You beat my ass.
[Roman] Acknowledge me.
But you ain't breaking my spirit.
If Jimmy never threw that towel in--
-I'm going to say it, Us. -Don't do it.
[Jey] That championship would be mine, Us.
[bell rings]
[Roman] You want another shot?
It's yours at Hell in a Cell.
But I'm telling you right now,
this match will have the highest stakes that any match has ever had.
For the first time, inside Hell in a Cell,
there will be an I Quit Match.
I love you.
And if I was you, I wouldn't accept this challenge.
This time, there's going to be real consequences.
You changed, Us.
You done lost connections with yourself and with our family.
But who am I to ask, right? Don't ask me.
Ask my brother, Jey.
[dramatic music playing]
[crowd cheering]
You love me? I love you, too!
[crowd cheering]
I love you so much!
-[commentator 1] Oh, my God! -[commentator 2] Jey!
-Jey! -Uso!
[overlapping shouting]
[Roman] When I make you quit,
then you're out.
Not just you. You brought your brother with you. He's out, too.
Your wives, your children,
your children's children are all out of the family.
Those are your consequences.
♪ Uso! ♪
[Cole] High stakes, high pressure tonight for Jey Uso
inside Hell in a Cell.
And a golden opportunity for this man.
Now, you may notice that Jey Uso is wearing
that very elaborate lei around his neck.
It represents culture. It represents family.
And it represents celebration and opportunity for Jey Uso tonight.
[Corey] You're absolutely correct about all of those things.
But I spoke to Jey Uso earlier this afternoon.
He said the lei also represents
the love he has for his cousin, Roman Reigns.
Jey truly believes that in his heart of hearts,
it is still the same Roman Reigns who's simply confused,
caving under the pressure of being Universal Champion.
[Cole] But, Corey, it's also a celebration, perhaps, for Jey Uso
that he can maybe become Universal Champion,
that maybe he can lead the family.
And for Uso tonight, he is not stepping in to unfamiliar territory.
Jey Uso has battled inside Hell in a Cell before.
But that was in a Tag Team matchup.
Tonight is much different.
One-on-one under I Quit rules.
[Cole] As we heard moments ago, the stakes simply couldn't be higher.
This will not just affect Jey Uso.
There is potential to affect Jey Uso's family at home,
his children, his children's children.
You heard The Tribal Chief's declaration. This is do-or-die for Jey Uso.
[Roman Reigns' music playing]
[crowd booing]
[Cole] And here comes the Universal Champion.
Here comes The Tribal Chief.
This is the fourth time in his career
that Roman Reigns will step foot inside Hell in a Cell.
Corey, he's never been beaten inside this structure.
[Corey] Few superstars have tasted as much success
inside of this sadistic structure as Roman Reigns.
Look at the focus in the eyes of the Universal champion.
Representing the Anoa'i family,
Roman Reigns and, of course, Jey Uso.
Roman Reigns says he has given Jey opportunity after opportunity.
Gave him a payday last month in the pay-per-view event.
But in Roman's mind, Jey Uso would not stop.
He continued to disrespect the champion, which has led to this.
Well, earlier tonight, as part of the Hell in a Cell Kickoff Show,
we heard from the special counsel to The Tribal Chief, Paul Heyman,
who explained the consequences for Jey Uso should he say, "I quit."
When.
And I do mean when Roman Reigns
forces Jey Uso to utter the words "I quit" inside Hell in a Cell,
Jey Uso becomes an indentured servant.
He will do the bidding for Roman Reigns at Roman Reigns' leisure,
at Roman Reigns' discretion,
when and how Roman Reigns tells him, commands him to do so.
Those are the consequences that will occur tonight,
when Jey Uso says "I quit" at the hands and the dominance
of the reigns-ing, defending, Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion
and your Tribal Chief,
Roman Reigns.
[Cole] Can you imagine the humiliation Jey Uso would suffer
to be forced into indentured servantship to The Tribal Chief?
That's a fate worse than death.
[Corey] Can you imagine the humiliation
Roman Reigns would suffer if he said "I quit" tonight?
I'm not a master lip reader, but Roman Reigns just asked
for forgiveness from someone for what's about to go down.
The current Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns versus his cousin Jey Uso here tonight.
I caught up with Roman earlier in the day.
He said to me that this is a burden on him.
He is simply trying to provide for his empire as Universal Champion.
[Cole] The way you were talking, it seems to me
you don't think Jey Uso has any chance in this match tonight.
[Corey] I'm a realist, Cole. I'm a big fan of Jey Uso.
I love him on a personal level and as a competitor.
But let's be perfectly honest, we have not seen anyone
dominate like The Tribal Chief has in recent months.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a Hell in a Cell "I Quit" match
for the Universal Championship!
There are no disqualifications or countouts
and the only way to win
is to force your opponent to say the words "I quit".
Introducing the challenger, weighing in at 228 pounds,
-Jey Uso! -[crowd cheering]
And his opponent, accompanied by his special counsel, Paul Heyman,
weighing in at 265 pounds,
he is the Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns!
[crowd cheering]
The door will be locked, the competitors now inside for the Universal Championship.
This is the first "I Quit" match in over five years in WWE
and for the first time ever, inside Hell in a Cell.
[Cole] It's one thing in a pinfall and submission matchup
you might be able to catch lightning in a bottle,
stun your opponent, pick up the quick three count,
but it won't be that way here tonight.
You're the one who's changing.
You are changing.
I've only changed because I have to,
in order to keep our family where it needs to be.
-[Jey] Then good. -I…
It's for that championship or it's for him!
[Corey] Roman once again reminding Jey Uso
that it didn't have to be like this.
[Cole] And now the lock up to start the "I Quit" match
where you must make your opponent say "I quit" in order to win.
And a shoulder tackle as the champion establishes early dominance.
[Corey] Universal Champion in the best physical condition of his entire career,
just uncorked a hellacious right.
[Cole] And remember, Roman Reigns blames Jey Uso for this, Corey.
[Corey] You're absolutely right, Michael.
Roman admitted this is a burden on him that is unnecessary.
All Jey Uso had to do was acknowledge Roman as his Tribal Chief.
[Cole] Roman Reigns talks about the fact that he's been there before,
that he's been champion.
[grunts]
[Cole] Come on, Corey. You think Jey Uso has no pride?
He has built a career on heart and soul and pride.
[Corey] I completely agree with that statement, Cole.
Jey Uso is an incredibly proud competitor.
Tough as the day is long,
but I think even Jey is outmatched by The Tribal Chief tonight.
-[yells] -[Cole and Corey] Oh.
[Corey] What I want to see is if Jey has that killer instinct inside.
If Jey will do what it takes to force Roman to say the words "I quit."
[Cole] Corey, we saw an example this past Friday night on SmackDown
that Jey Uso indeed has the killer instinct
when he… when he went after Roman Reigns.
Does he have it when it counts?
Reigns again with a clothesline as he continues to make Jey suffer.
Look how cold and calculating the Universal Champion is tonight.
Icy stare in the eyes of The Tribal Chief.
I'm sending a message not only to Jey, but to the entire family.
[Jey grunts]
[Corey] Oh, and Jey Uso looking to fight back.
Stunning Roman Reigns momentarily.
And now Uso got him with a knee right on the jaw.
And Jey Uso with a kick to the midsection and Jey showing some fighting fire now.
[Cole] All the wind out of the champion Reigns spills to the outside.
-And now Jey Uso in his wheelhouse. -[Corey] Here we go!
[Cole] Jey looks to fly. Oh, and he drives Reigns into the Hell in a Cell.
And Uso may have injured himself as well,
but that's what it's about in this type of matchup. Especially "I quit" rules.
Have to bring out the heavy artillery.
Roman sent over the top again and Uso looking to fly again.
And again driving Reigns into the cell.
For Jey Uso, he got the mindset that this is like the animal kingdom, Corey.
Roman's the top dog. Jey Uso is trying to knock him off the perch.
[Corey] Let's take another look at Jey Uso
risking his own well-being to bring the fight to Reigns.
And now Roman driven into the cell again. Jey Uso using the cell as a weapon.
You about to get this work too?
You about to get this work too.
Huh? Let's go! [grunts]
[Cole] And again. As this match progresses,
I have to question the strategies of both competitors.
Are they looking to submit one another?
Apply a submission hold? Or will somebody just be beaten into submission?
Forced to say, "I quit."
[Corey] And it appears with moves like these
that Jey Uso is trying to beat Reigns into submission.
It's a day you're about to quit, though!
[grunts]
[Corey] Jey Uso fired up, bringing the fight to the Universal Champion.
[Cole] Yeah, an aggression out of Jey here tonight that we have not seen.
[Corey] Well, the stakes have never been higher for Jey Uso.
Never before has his family's well-being been on the line.
Being forced to be Roman's indentured servant.
[Cole] Yeah, those are the words of Paul Heyman.
A "indentured servant" if Uso loses.
-And now Roman Reigns with a spear! -[Corey] That's gotta be it!
[Cole] Now, normally Roman would go for a pinfall here.
But there are no pinfalls here, submissions.
It's an "I quit" match tonight.
[Corey] Jey hasn't said the words yet,
but that's the beginning of the end for any superstar.
As we look once again at the Universal Champion
nearly sawing Jey Uso in half with that spear.
Jey gasping for air, grasping his midsection.
I didn't think one spear was gonna do it.
That's the thing.
Trying for ten minutes. You know, you should quit right now.
You understand me?
If you miss, you'll wish you never came here.
You should recede, take your ass and leave.
You don't know me.
[Corey] Reigns issuing a warning to his own cousin.
Just a matter of time before the official grabs the microphone
and Jey is forced to scream "I quit."
Like, Roman's trying to teach Jey Uso a lesson.
A lesson in respect.
To remind Jey who's at the top of the food chain, who's The Tribal Chief.
It's an old cliché, but the lessons that hurt you worse than they hurt me,
that are often passed down from your parents or family members.
[Cole] Oh, wait a minute!
And now it's Uso!
With a sign of life as he delivers a dropkick
and drives Reigns into the side of the cell.
[Corey] Could be Roman's mindset, but I guarantee you this hurts just as bad!
[Cole] And a right hand by Roman stops Jey Uso in his tracks.
The heavy-handed champion connecting just in time.
And that's the thing here, Corey.
Every time Jey's trying to rally, Roman Reigns with another spear!
This one more massive than the first!
-Just quit. -[Jey groans]
-Well, what do you say? -[groans] No.
It's a no.
[Cole] First off, watch the dropkick,
but Roman Reigns would not allow Jey to gather any momentum.
[Corey] Every time Jey's mounted offense, The Big Dog has shut him down in a hurry!
[Cole] Oh, and that spear! So much more impactful than the first!
[Corey] No doubt, Roman connected extremely high
on Jey's anatomy, right in the sternum.
[Cole] The first spear went to the midsection,
the second to the sternum.
Huh? Just quit.
Let's end it. Huh?
I don't want to have to go any further.
I don't want to have to do this. I don't-- You're making me a bad guy.
[Cole] We both know Jey Uso, Corey,
he has way too much pride to quit in this match.
-Quit? Jey? -I will end you.
I will end you.
Jey, you gotta talk to me. What do you say?
Huh?
-[Cole] Uh-oh. -[Corey] Uh-oh again!
Oh, this time Jey Uso was able to catch Roman!
As Roman was going for a third spear, and now a super kick to the jaw!
And Jey Uso gonna head up top,
Jey Uso trying to get back into this matchup,
build some momentum!
Adrenaline rush now for Uso, there's the Uso Splash!
[Corey] And again, in a normal match,
Jey would go for a cover there, but this is "I quit."
Come on, Roman, talk to me, what do you say?
-What do you say, Roman? -[groans] No.
No! Jey, he says no!
-Quit! -No!
[Corey] Look at this once more, the tremendous height achieved,
and the impact that follows.
Jey Uso soaring through the cell, crashing down.
[Cole] Corey, going up into the other corner now, Jey Uso with Roman Reigns
in the middle of the ring, and a second Uso Splash!
[Corey] Jey realizes what he's got to do,
keep his foot on the gas pedal if he wants any chance.
Roman, Roman, what do you say?
-Huh? -[Jey] You quit!
-Roman, you quit? -[Jey] You quit.
You wanna say I quit?
[Jey] You quit. You quit.
Come on, Roman.
The Head of the Table never quits.
He says, "No."
No.
[Corey] The Head of the Table never quits,
the words uttered by the champion as we look once more with a second
Uso Splash on point, but not enough to topple the champion.
[Cole] So what does Jey Uso do now, Corey?
He's hit two Uso Splashes, hasn't gotten Reigns to quit.
What do you do next inside Hell in a Cell?
[Corey] This is what I was questioning about Jey Uso's killer instinct,
does he have what it takes?
It's gonna have to get gruesome, it's gonna have to get more brutal.
-[chuckles] Oh, this might do it. -[Cole] I think he heard you.
A leather strap in the hands of Jey Uso.
This is what this has come down to between these cousins, as close as brothers.
[Corey] This is all perfectly legal.
You.
-[Cole] These two men grew up together. -What do you want, Paul?
-[Heyman] Don't. -What do you mean don't?
-What do you mean? -Please don't.
[Jey] You're about to get this war too.
You.
You. You bitch.
[Cole] Oh, my goodness.
You're gonna quit today.
-[Cole] Oh, my. -[Corey] Sickening.
What?
Fuck.
[Cole] Oh, that's the third time.
[Corey] Jey Uso just punishing the-- Oh, a spear!
A third spear by Reigns, perhaps out of desperation.
But Roman Reigns hits a third spear to Jey Uso.
[Jey] I can't breathe.
You want to quit?
Oh, no.
I can't breathe.
He's gonna say no, Roman.
It's a no.
[referee] Come on, Jey, you sure you want to quit?
-[Jey groans] -Jey.
Jey, come talk to me.
-You quit? -No.
He said, "No."
[Corey] Jey Uso refusing to quit.
[Cole] Yeah, but watch this punishing spear.
Bulldoze-like spear by Reigns.
And now Roman's got the leather strap in hand.
The strap in your hand?
-Yeah. -You think you're gonna hit me?
[Jey groans]
You gon-- You gonna whip me?
[Corey] Oh, God.
[Roman] You gonna whip me?
I do the whipping around here.
Oh, I bet you do.
I'll let you know when you do.
[yells]
-[man] Come on, Jey. -[yells]
Let's take a step back right here.
I've seen this happen in life.
-You won't think that I… -[grunts]
[Cole] The leather strap connecting with Jey Uso's flesh
echoing throughout the ThunderDome.
Oh, God.
[Corey] Just quit, Jey.
[Cole] How much more can Jey Uso take?
[Corey] Roman tying up the wrist now of Jey Uso.
This didn't have to happen. Reigns keeps reminding Uso.
Are you willing to respect me?
And will everybody respect you?
-[Corey] Oh, my God. -[Cole] Oh, God almighty.
No.
-No. -[referee] Come on, Jey.
Come on.
-Jey, you-- -[Jey] No.
No.
-Still said, "No," Roman. -No.
[Corey] It's one thing to have pride. It's another thing to have a suicide wish.
Roman Reigns is grinning ear to ear.
[Jey groans]
You're just a guy.
[grunts]
You ain't going nowhere.
-[grunts] -Let it all out here.
Let me show you how it's done.
-Let me show you how it's done. -No.
[grunting]
Come on.
[grunting]
[Corey] Oh, and Uso now with a right hand, stunning Reigns.
And Roman with a forearm.
Jey again.
And now Roman regrouping.
This is a testament to the toughness of Jey Uso.
Few men can stand toe to toe and throw down with The Big Dog like Jey Uso.
And a kick this time.
Roman back against the ropes, but still on his feet.
And both men are tied up now in this leather strap.
And went for the Superman Punch. And Uso uses the strap to his advantage.
[Cole] And now Jey Uso with the strap. Going to use it as a weapon.
Going to tie up Roman Reigns.
[Corey] This may be what does it. This is what it's going to take.
This level of brutality.
Jey Uso with everything he's got trying to force Reigns to quit.
Roman, come on.
-Talk to me. What do you say? -[grunts]
[yells]
[Cole] All perfectly legal under the sadistic rules of this match.
Roman, do you quit?
[Corey] Roman may pass out.
Roman.
[Cole] Yeah, but he's got to utter the words, Corey.
He has to say, "I quit."
[Jey] Just say, "I quit."
-Come on, Roman. -[Jey] Uso. Uso.
-[referee] Roman. -[Jey] Uso.
Roman.
[Cole] Roman appears to be out.
[gasps and yells]
[Cole] Or maybe not. Roman Reigns, that last gasp perhaps.
Jey Uso continuing the pressure on the champion, on his cousin.
[yells]
[groans]
[Corey] Reigns once again motionless.
[Cole] Roman may be out.
[Corey] Now the official's got to decide what to do.
Quit? Roman.
[Jey] He quit. Did he quit?
-Roman. -[Jey] Did he quit?
Did he quit?
He shook his head, "No."
He's not quitting, Jey.
[Cole] Say what you want about Roman Reigns.
He's a warrior.
So is Jey Uso.
And now Jey Uso has to…
He's trying to figure out, Corey, "What do I have to do
to get Roman Reigns to say, 'I quit'?"
[Corey] I think Jey just figured out his next step.
[grunts]
[Cole] Paul Heyman's seen a lot in his career, Corey.
He can't even believe what's going on.
And Roman Reigns with a Superman Punch!
The hesitation, perhaps, may have cost Jey Uso.
[Corey] Roman could be looking for the guillotine.
There it is!
[Cole] This took out Braun Strowman.
Guillotine, center of the ring.
Will Jey Uso say, "I quit"?
Jey, come on, tell me you quit.
-[Corey] Jey fighting desperately. -You wanna quit, Jey?
Do you wanna quit, Jey?
I swear to God, I'll take your last breath.
-Go on. -Tell me, Jey, what do you say?
-Quit. -You say, "I quit."
Don't make me, Jey.
-Huh? -Jey, quit!
Quit, Jey!
Jey!
Jey, quit!
You're not talking.
You say, "I quit."
Jey, come on.
Come on.
Just quit.
Jey, come on, you just gotta say it. "I quit."
You just gotta say it, Jey.
I'm asking him but… Jey.
He won't say it, Roman.
He's not saying it.
Jey, come on.
All you gotta do is say, "I quit."
He's not saying, "I quit."
-He won't say it. -Wake up.
Wake up and say the words.
All you had to do was acknowledge me, and now it's all the way to this.
All you have to do is just say, "I quit."
You've come this far.
[referee] Jey.
-Just say it, Jey. -Quit.
I can end it right here, Jey.
I swear to God, if you do not quit,
I can't be held responsible.
Jey.
I'm telling you now, quit.
I'm gonna take this to the next level.
All you gotta do is say it, Jey.
Don't make me do this.
Jey, say, "I quit."
You say it.
I can end it right here, Jey.
Jey.
I'm sorry.
Just say the words.
-Just say it and we can go home. -I'm right here, Jey.
Just say it and we can go home.
[referee] I'm right here, Jey. All you gotta do is say it.
-I can end it right here, Jey. -[Heyman] This is so bad.
Shut your mouth.
He's gonna learn today.
Come on, Jey.
If my family won't respect me…
then who will?
Jey.
[Corey] There's a look of concern on the face of Paul Heyman
for what Roman might be capable of,
for what Roman might be willing to do to his own cousin.
[Cole] Corey, Roman said he was going to take it to the next level.
Hey, come on. All you got to do is say it, Jey.
-[yells] -[Cole] Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
[Corey] Drive-by, right to the temple of Jey Uso.
-Say it, Hey. -Ask him.
All you got to do is say, "I quit."
What do you say, Jey? Huh?
Just quit.
Just say, "I quit." I can end it right here, Jey.
Just quit.
Just please quit.
Jey, do you quit?
-[groaning] -He's not answering me.
[yells]
[crowd cheering]
Come on.
You're just selfish.
-I'm talking to you. -[grunts]
[referee] Come on, Jey, just say you quit.
[Cole] Goodness.
Come on, Jey's defenseless.
[referee] Jey, come on. All you got to say is, "I quit."
[Cole] Oh, my God. Not with the steps.
Jey Uso can't defend himself.
[referee] Jey, come on. Jey.
-[Cole] Don't do this. Don't do this. -Just say it. I can end it.
Jey, come on.
We're gonna be just fine.
[referee] Jey.
Just say it, Jey, come on.
[Cole] Ominous warning from the Universal Champion.
This is too far. Roman, this is your family.
[referee] I'm right here, you gotta say it.
-[Corey] No, no, no, no. -[Cole] My God, no.
[Corey] For the love of God, stop the damn thing and make the guy say, "I quit."
Jey. Say it, Jey,
-I gotta hear it, Jey, come on. -Just quit.
Say, "I quit," I'll end it, come on, Jey.
It's done.
Let's go home, Us.
I'm right here, just say it.
Let's go home, it's done.
I can ring the bell, Jey. Say, "I quit."
Jey, can you say it?
Huh?
Don't look at me. It's not my fault.
-Come on, it's your cousin. -He knew what he was signing up for.
-Jey, come on, huh? -Man makes it even simple.
-[referee] Jey, come on… -Shut your mouth.
[referee] I got to call it, I got to call it.
Hey, hey, Roman, Roman. I got to call it, come on, Roman.
Your cousin is out. Your cousin is out.
-You're out. You're out. -[Cole] No, no, my goodness.
The official wanted to stop the match and Roman wouldn't let it happen.
Nobody stops it, you understand, Paul?
Send out the memo, nobody stops a match on the portal.
-Hey, hey, hey. -[Cole] That was the outside official.
[Corey] God, I hope there's some kind of order here.
Now I look like a monster.
Now I look bad. What am I supposed to tell my children?
Huh? What am I supposed to tell my children?
Roman. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[overlapping shouting]
That's enough.
-Enough. -Okay.
It's enough, okay?
-[official 1] God, please. -[official 2] Come on.
[official 1] Roman, enough, come on.
[overlapping conversations]
[Corey] I think they're gonna stop this.
Proved your point, enough.
Enough.
-Roman, no. -[official 3] It's over, come on.
[Cole] Jey Uso can't defend himself.
That's what you want to do. Choose his side.
Choose him. We might as well close this, there's ain't no break from me.
[Cole] What the hell is Reigns--
[official 1] Roman, no.
That's enough, Roman, come on.
[indistinct shouting]
[Corey] The officials are out here for the well-being of Jey Uso,
just chased off by The Tribal Chief.
-[official 2] Look at him. -I'm looking at him, trust me.
-[official 2] Please, come on. -[official 1] Stop.
You've proved your point enough. Please.
[overlapping conversations]
-[Cole] Somebody's got to do something. -[Corey] Nobody can.
-Roman Reigns is out of control. -[Cole] This is too far.
[Corey] That's your family, Roman.
-He's not listening to me. -[official 1] Don't do this, man, come on.
This is for your little boys.
This is for your kids.
-You knew I was better. -Roman, you don't want to do this. Enough.
I understand back then you trying me.
But we're 35 years old and you are still testing me,
You still don't understand that I'm better.
That I am the man.
That I am The Tribal Chief. All you had to do is acknowledge me.
All you had to do was acknowledge me.
And now you making me do things I don't want to do.
But this is how serious it is at the top. This is how serious it is at the top.
There ain't no going back when you've gone this far,
and we ain't going back tonight.
I'm gonna end you…
because you just don't understand…
who The Tribal Chief is.
-[official 1] No! -[Cole] No, no!
[Corey] Heyman, stop this man. -[Cole] Corey, stop this man.
-Take him out of here. -[Corey] Paul, do something, stop it.
[overlapping shouting]
No! Stop! Stop. Stop.
-[Cole] That's Jimmy. -[Corey] Thank God.
-Stop, Us. -[Cole] That's Jey's brother, Jimmy.
Stop!
What you doing, man? Huh?
What are you doing?
This is Josh, fool. You know who you are?
You all right, man?
What is wrong with you, huh?
Whatever the hell you going through…
Whatever you going through, man, we can fix this.
You ain't gotta do this, man.
Come on, Us. It's Josh, you hear me?
It's Josh that's laying right here in the middle of this damn ring.
Look at me, Us. Look at me.
Look at me, please. Please look at me.
Whatever you going through, you know we got you.
You know we got you.
It's always been like that. But this, this ain't it.
This is not it.
-I don't know who I am anymore. -[Jimmy] Look at me.
I don't even know who I am anymore.
[sniffles]
I'm sorry.
-I know. -I'm sorry.
I got you, Us. We got you. Look at me, Look at me, Us.
This is John and Josh right here, Us. You ain't gotta act like this.
Forget that fool Paul. Forget all this, man.
It's all about love, Us. It's family, all right?
It's family. No more of this.
Please, no more of this.
Come on, man.
Huh?
Yeah.
All right?
I love you, Us. I love you. All right?
[overlapping shouting]
[Corey] Jimmy Uso just had knee surgery and Roman put him in a guillotine.
[overlapping shouting]
Us, get up and help me.
-Help me! -[overlapping shouting]
Come on, let him go. Let him go. Let him go.
Let him go!
-[overlapping shouting] -I quit! I quit!
I quit! I quit!
[bell rings]
I quit! I quit.
[crowd booing]
I quit. Let's go.
[announcer] Here is your winner and still the Universal Champion,
Roman Reigns.
[Roman Reigns' theme music playing]
[Corey] Still trying to digest what we've just witnessed,
but it appears as though Jey Uso uttered the words "I quit",
only to save his brother Jimmy
from further harm at the hands of Roman Reigns.
[Cole] The level that Roman Reigns stooped to tonight.
[crowd booing, shouting]
[Cole] Jey Uso would not say, "I quit." He wouldn't say it.
After all the punishment that Roman Reigns put him through,
he refused to give up.
But Jey Uso would utter those words to save his brother.
[crowd shouting]
[Cole] To stoop to that level.
And the love for his brother
would turn out to be the only reason Jey Uso was willing to quit.
There is no love in the eyes of Roman Reigns.
Even the look of disbelief in the eyes of Paul Heyman.
To the level that Roman Reigns went to here tonight,
to retain the Universal Championship.
And now, look who is on the stage.
Roman Reigns' uncle Afa and his father, Sika.
[Corey] The legendary wild Samoans.
Elders of the family.
The two men who blazed the trail in this business for this family.
And you see the lei that both of these men wear around their necks,
symbolizing their standing in the legacy, in the dynasty.
Aloha.
[Cole] And now the crowning…
of Roman Reigns.
And, Corey, now finds himself at the head of the table.
[Corey] Roman Reigns, blessed by the elders of his family.
Adorned with the chief's beads.
There is only room for one at the head of the table.
And that space is now occupied by the Universal Champion.
[Cole] But what did Roman Reigns have to do, Corey,
to become this?
[crowd cheering]
[Corey] I would answer your statement with Roman's statement.
It didn't have to be like this.
[Cole] And now the Usos, Corey, must fall in line,
bow to The Tribal Chief.

[Tom] We'd like to extend a special thank you to Holy Wars
for "Welcome to Hell".
An official theme song of WWE Hell in a Cell.
Available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was moments ago here on the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
The conclusion of the Universal Championship I Quit Match
inside Hell in a Cell.
It was Roman Reigns who had his cousin, Jimmy Uso, in a guillotine.
Jey Uso, who had been knocked unconscious because of the guillotine,
finally came to.
And it was only because of what Roman Reigns was doing to his brother, Jimmy,
uttered the words, "I quit".
[Saxton] Just an absolutely surreal scene to witness,
and think about the heartbreak, the grief for Jey Uso
to have to quit under those circumstances
simply for the sole purpose of saving his own brother.
Well, you know, you couldn't have summed it up better.
To be honest here, Roman Reigns, he may call himself a Tribal Chief,
but tonight I saw an absolute tyrant.
And in tyrannical fashion, he went out there,
he realized he could not destroy the will of his opponent.
So instead, he broke his spirit.
-Wanna take one more look? -He had to.
Joe, to that point, wanna take one more look at this?
-[Joe] The conclusion. -[Tom] Listen to this.
I quit! I quit! I quit! I quit! I quit!
-He said he quit. -[bell rings]
I quit! I quit!
I quit.
And listen, you can only imagine what went through Jey Uso's mind there.
He had no choice, his brother Jimmy was locked up by Roman Reigns.
But Joe, how about the scene,
Afa and Sika anointing Roman Reigns as The Head of the Table?
Well, you know, you say this has to stop somewhere.
And obviously, there's been distress in the family.
And maybe, just maybe…
this might cap off a feud that's been brewing
way too long in the eyes of the Anoa'i family.
More to come tonight here at Hell in a Cell.
[guitar strums]
Hello, I am Elias.
And I have one question for everybody here tonight.
Who wants to walk with Elias?
Well, four months ago,
that degenerate Jeff Hardy
tried to end my career when he hit me with a car.
It's not all bad, 'cause I gotta say, he did help inspire my new album.
Which comes out tomorrow, Monday night, and it's called Universal Truth.
But before I pay Jeff his royalties, I'd like to sing a song here tonight.
And before I do that, I need everybody to silence their cell phones.
Hold their applause.
And most importantly,
shut your mouth.
[crowd cheering]

[Tom] Too bad, once again, Jeff Hardy--
[Joe] He was just getting to the bridge. He was getting good.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring from Cameron, North Carolina.
Weighing in at 225 pounds, Jeff Hardy.
[Tom] You know, Joe, I see you over here smiling.
I understand that you once tried to do the same things that Elias is doing.
Drawing out the inner demons of Jeff Hardy.
What is the purpose?
[Joe] Well, there's so many to choose from, first off, Tom.
I mean, let's be honest here. I mean, you know…
Jeff Hardy, he is absolutely electrifying the ring.
And unfortunately, his lifestyle's a little bit electrifying
outside the ring also.
[Saxton] Listen, Joe, I know what's going on here.
You know what's going on here.
If you go back to what happened, that hit-and-run accident five months ago.
It was never proven it was Jeff Hardy.
In fact, witnesses said the culprit had a red beard, had red hair.
-Last time I checked-- -[Joe] Sloppy detective work, Byron.
I still haven't seen anybody caught yet.
[Tom] And the culprit is still at large, according to authorities.
[Joe] If you look at Jeff Hardy's hair in the right light, it's a little reddish.
[Tom] Come on, Joe.
[Joe] So here we go, Elias,
one-on-one with Jeff Hardy for the first time ever here in WWE.
Earlier tonight, on the Hell in a Cell Kickoff Show, Jeff Hardy…
The turnbuckles. Keep it in the ring, all right?
Mind the ropes.
[Tom] Jeff Hardy addressed this situation with Elias,
and called it a self-deluded vengeance tour.
That Elias is pointing fingers at the wrong person.
[Joe] That's a horrible thing to say. I mean, look at poor Elias.
-I mean, he's the victim here. -[Saxton] Poor Elias?
Who you gonna tell? Come on.
[Saxton] Elias had an unforgettable concert this past week on RAW.
His new album, Universal Truth, comes out tomorrow.
There's plenty of fanfare surrounding Elias.
[Joe] Which brings me to that point. First, Jeff Hardy hits him with the car.
Then he ruins his big mixtape release.
I mean, what more can you do to a man before he's had too much?
[Saxton] I'll tell you what happened. Elias sat at home for five months,
recouping from injuries from that hit-and-run accident
and needed someone to blame.
-[Joe] Bravely. -[Saxton] "I need a target.
I'm gonna pin it on Jeff Hardy,
because it's the easiest thing for me to do."
[Joe] Off the snap there, now the next snap by Jeff Hardy.
Into the cover, stacks up Elias, and a kick-out.
[Saxton] And Jeff Hardy knows what's up, Jeff Hardy knows what Elias is up to.
He's not being fooled by this nonsense.
[Tom] Joe, let's call it what it is flat out.
Elias is trying to make a splash
at the expense… Like, a star like Jeff Hardy.
That is why Elias would turn to RAW in the midst of the WWE Draft
and smash the guitar across the back of Hardy.
[Joe] Well, if you hit me with a car,
then I wanna do things at your expense too, Tom.
What do you expect? Elias is justified here.
[Saxton] Jeff Hardy's not the one responsible, Joe, that's the point here.
-[Tom] And now Elias. -[Saxton] There's no proof.
[Tom] Elias went to try and control Jeff Hardy
and the sly veteran Jeff Hardy…
[Joe] That's a pretty slick little counter there, Tom.
[Tom] Able to control the musician Elias here.
[Saxton] Jeff just wants to end this.
End the charades, end the accusations from Elias.
[Joe] And he's more than a musician, he's an impresario.
I mean, that's how he described himself to me earlier tonight.
[Tom] Whoa! And there goes Hardy, hard outside the ring.
Hardy, let's go, back inside. One!
[Tom] Jeff Hardy's got until the count of ten
to get back inside the ring in this matchup.
[Joe] Well, I don't think Hardy will get an opportunity
to exercise that count, cuz here comes Elias.
You think I forgot about you?
[Tom] Oh! Into the barricade.
Well, now-- Hardy, who's not afraid to use the environment
in a match to his advantage.
[Saxton] There are not many risk takers that top
what Jeff Hardy has done throughout his career here in WWE.
[Tom] Elias rolls out, but there's no room to hide from Jeff Hardy.
Three-time World Champion, five-time Intercontinental Champion
and a daredevil off the stairs.
Oh, and went into the barricade, ribs first.
-And Hardy's gotta be careful. -Five.
[Tom] Count of five now, again,
has until the count of ten to get back inside the ring.
[Saxton] Elias might be poised to accept a count out victory.
[Joe] Elias will be happy with it.
[Tom] Count of eight, count of nine.
And Jeff Hardy beats the count, and Elias is all over Hardy.
[Saxton] Watch this again, this has been synonymous with Hardy's career.
This time backfired, and Jeff Hardy nearly lost this match by count out.
Get off the man's head, listen up.
[Tom] Elias with a spectacular opportunity here, Joe, on pay-per-view to try
and take out one of the great superstars in the history of WWE and Jeff Hardy…
[Joe] I mean, I can't think of a better way to cap off a big return
to the belt of WWE than wearing out Jeff Hardy at Hell in a Cell.
Especially the night before his big album drops, and now look at Elias.
[Saxton] And that's the key.
Elias wants to be able to tell the world, I dropped Jeff Hardy at Hell in a Cell.
And the next night, I dropped my new album. Boom.
Who wants to Walk With Elias?
[Joe chuckles]
[Joe] Now Elias sending a cover hook to the leg, and a kick out by Hardy.
[Saxton] Gonna take a little bit more to put The Charismatic Enigma away.
[Tom] Joe, what do you like about what Elias does inside the ring?
As we take a look back here, Elias, boom, this big clothesline drops Hardy.
[Joe] Well, you know, Elias, his-- his theory on fights is very, very simple.
Big impact repeatedly, and that's exactly what he's been doing.
Just constantly hitting Jeff Hardy, keeping him off balance,
and putting him on the mat in the worst way possible.
[Saxton] Here's the thing, Elias could have came back to WWE, come to RAW,
and made a challenge to Jeff Hardy to try to up his stock.
He didn't have to go the route of the accusations that he's been making.
[Tom] It's a tactic as old as sports entertainment.
You want to make a bigger name for yourself,
you go after someone the likes of Jeff Hardy, and down goes Elias.
And Jeff Hardy has had a rough couple of weeks.
We talked about the hit from a guitar by Elias in a Triple Threat Match.
HE was pinned by AJ Styles, got run into by Lars Sullivan, the freak on SmackDown.
[Saxton] Jeff Hardy understands
he's got a new chapter to begin on Monday Night RAW.
This should be a great way to build some momentum
if he can get a victory over Elias.
[Joe] He's trying,
those ribs have got to be hurting him after going into the--
Oh! Barricade earlier in the match,
and now Hardy, in for the atomic drop.
Let me down, no.
[Tom] And a double leg drop to Elias, follows up with a drop kick.
[Saxton] Now Jeff Hardy starting to roll.
[Tom] Hardy into the cover on Elias, and a power out by Elias.
[Joe] And Elias needs to be very, very careful here.
This is the kind of momentum he needs to avoid
letting Jeff Hardy get too much under him.
Wheels are turning for Jeff Hardy.
[Saxton] But Jeff Hardy is calling it from WWE ThunderDome,
the WWE Universe with him from around the world, going for Twist of Fate.
[Tom] And now Elias, great job, able to counter up on the shoulders…
[Joe] The power of Elias.
[Tom] Jeff Hardy in a bad way, turns it into a power bomb.
-Elias into the cover… -[Joe] And a kick out.
[Tom] Hardy was able to pop up the left shoulder to survive this match thus far.
This was a close call, watch the impact of this power bomb from Elias.
And Joe, for as much power as Elias maintains his athleticism
on display there, here at Hell in a Cell inside ThunderDome.
[Joe] For all his musical prowess,
oftentimes you overlook the absolute powerhouse that is Elias.
[Saxton] Elias showing the world that he can hang with Jeff Hardy.
[Tom] Back elbow there by Jeff Hardy,
trying to create a little separation, going up to the top turnbuckle.
-[Joe] Look out below. [Tom] Whisper in the Wind.
[Saxton] Is that enough to do it?
[Tom] Elias is down, here's the cover.
Oh, and a kick out, just got up at two-and-a-half.
[Joe] That's legendary Jeff, that's bread on the road, Tom.
Look at this, boom, cackling with Whisper in the Wind.
-And nearly… -[Saxton] Twist of Fate now from Hardy.
[Tom] Elias is hurt, and Jeff Hardy looking to finish him off.
As the WWE Universe looks on, it's Hardy going up top.
Hardy getting ready to fly.
-[Joe] He's found his perch. -[Tom] On Elias.
-[Saxton] Oh, my. -[Tom] To the apron.
[Joe] Elias isn't safe there.
Well, there might not be any escape.
Look at Hardy, on top of the post.
[Tom] And Elias rolls down to the floor.
Come on, get back inside, Elias.
-[Tom] Wait a minute. -[Saxton] Come on, Jeff.
[Tom] And now Jeff Hardy comes down from his perch, called an audible here.
[Saxton] Probably wisely so.
[Tom] And Elias, Elias trying to pull out the guitar.
[Joe] And it's Jeff Hardy who unleashes with the guitar.
[Tom] Turnabout is fair play.
What are you doing, man? Come on, that's a disqualification, right?
[announcer] Here is your winner by disqualification, Elias.
[Tom] The retaliation there by Jeff Hardy, but it cost him.
[Saxton] It cost Jeff Hardy the match,
but I'm sure Jeff Hardy doesn't feel too bad getting some revenge in that.
[Joe] I wanna know how much longer we'll let Jeff Hardy
come out here willy nilly and victimize Elias like this.
[Saxton] Victimize, were you watching the same match?
[Joe] Yeah, I was watching it right here.
And all I see is Elias on the ground, unfairly, and Jeff Hardy walking out.
[Saxton] Elias grabbed the guitar with the intent to smash it over Jeff Hardy.
This time, Jeff Hardy got the better of Elias.
[Tom] Watch this, again, down the stretch.
Elias was the one who pulled out the guitar to try and use it on Hardy.
And Jeff wasn't gonna have any of it, returning the favor,
so to speak, of what Elias did to Hardy a number of weeks ago on RAW.
[Saxton] Yeah, Elias' devious plan just backfired, that's what just happened.
[Joe] At least Elias' new album, Universal Truth, comes out tomorrow.
-He'll have a lot to say on RAW. -[Tom] Gonna ruin the release party.
Yeah, if Elias can walk tomorrow.
Elias is gonna pick up the victory via disqualification against Jeff Hardy.
But coming up here tonight at Hell in a Cell,
the rivalry between The Miz and Otis comes to a head.
This is all after this past Friday night on SmackDown,
a special edition of Law and Otis.
All rise. Court of ThunderDome is now in session.
In this case, Mr. Mizanin is suing the defendant, Otis,
for emotional distress, creating an unsafe work environment,
and Money in the Bank negligence.
I think I deserve the Money in the Bank contract,
because I won the Money in the Bank ladder match.
Thank you.
[gavel bangs]
He should be able to cash in that contract anytime he wants.
He won straight up.
[speaking in Japanese]
Did you get any of that?
Every single word, player.
Otis, they say he assaults a lot of people.
It's hard to put into words the trauma,
that it's not necessarily the physical scars, it's the scars in here…
…that hurt the most.
[blows nose]
Otis is my best friend.
And while he might not be as educated as some, the big man is sensitive.
Miz, you crossed the line.
And now that I think about it, I wanna beat the crap out of you right now.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -[overlapping shouting]
-Order in the court. -Shut up.
I'm supposed to believe that Otis is responsible
for emotional distress and creating an unsafe work environment.
He's a WWE superstar, that's pretty much a job description.
It is established in the contract
that the Money in the Bank winner has a full year to cash in.
I have absolutely no choice but to rule in favor…
[suspenseful music playing]
-…of the plaintiff, The Miz. -[cheering]
Otis, you are ordered to appear at WWE Hell in a Cell this week.
And you will face The Miz. And the winner will get and keep
the Money in the Bank contract. We are adjourned.
-[muttering] -Yes!
[cracks knuckles]
Damn.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests,
Mr. Money in the Bank Otis and Tucker.
Now, Otis, after a highly dubious ruling on Friday by Judge JBL,
you're about to face The Miz with your Money in the Bank contract on the line.
What's your frame of mind heading into this match?
Kayla, my mama always told me this, "If you got it, flaunt it."
Well, I got it.
Miz wants it. He'll do anything he can to get it.
Sent my beautiful peach mayo roast to RAW. Broke up heavy machinery.
Had me sit in that hot, steamy courtroom, wearing that itchy suit.
Just to get a chance to get this back.
The way I feel, Kayla, is this.
Angry at The Miz.
Oh, yeah, real angry.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] Hey, listen, Kayla called it dubious.
Let's just cut to the chase.
JBL accepted a bribe by The Miz. That's why we have this match tonight.
[Corey] Did you see what was in the briefcase, Cole?
[man] Awesome.
-[Cole] No, but I bet-- -[Corey] Exactly, it's all speculation.
[Cole] Now the last golden opportunity for The Miz tonight.

is for the Money in the Bank contract.

and residing in Hollywood, California,
The Miz!
[Cole] Miz is set for action, and ladies and gentlemen,
tonight's Hell in a Cell is brought to you by Skittles.

[Corey] You know, Miz has been Mr. Money in the Bank before.
Back in 2010, he actually earned the contract
and would go on to cash in to win the WWE Championship.
Can he become Mr. Money in the Bank again tonight?
♪ Blue-collar working man ♪
[Otis' music playing]
[announcer] And his opponent, accompanied by Tucker,
weighing in at 330 pounds,
Mr. Money in the Bank!
Otis!
[Cole] You know, Corey, this type of matchup is extremely rare.
In fact, only once in history, that was 13 years ago,
did a superstar holding the contract actually lose it in a matchup?
So a lot of pressure here tonight on Otis to become--
to keep Mr. Money in the Bank.
And remember what that contract means.
[Corey] A guaranteed opportunity for a Universal or WWE Championship
at the time and place of your choosing.
Otis obviously hasn't cashed in since winning,
but Miz knows what it's all about to be Mr. Money in the Bank.
And speaking of all this judiciary nonsense,
there's an old saying
that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.
[Cole] Well, Otis represented himself in the court case on Friday,
lost it, and now must defend his
Money in the Bank contract against The Miz.
Otis, of course, earning the Money in the Bank contract
in one of the most unique Money in the Bank ladder matches ever,
which ended up on the top of WWE's corporate tower.
[Corey] Yeah, but did Otis actually earn it, or did he just luck out?
Let's be honest, Otis didn't even climb the ladder.
The briefcase fell in his hands, for goodness sake.
[Cole] Otis extremely upset with The Miz, not only because of this matchup,
but because of the fact that Miz had Otis' girlfriend
Mandy Rose drafted over to Monday Night RAW.
Miz using his influence with the USA executives.
Here's the cover now by Otis and a kick-out by Miz.
[Corey] It's only been a couple of weeks
since Miz and Morrison were drafted to Monday Night RAW.
I miss them already on Friday nights.
[Cole] And now Otis trying to fight back in this matchup.
Miz lands on his feet, looking for this Skull-Crushing Finale.
[Corey] I think Otis is a little too thick.
Miz up over the top rope and will land on the apron.
[Cole] Look at this agility.
[Corey] Yeah, trying to use his quickness, but again, 330 pounds
and all that weight into the chest of The Miz.
-[Cole] Oh, no! -[Corey] Oh, my goodness.
Oh, yeah!
[Cole] Otis is loving this.
[Corey] Well, if Otis was smart, which we know he's not,
he would cover Miz and try to retain his Money in the Bank contract.
Over 80% of the time, if you cash in the Money in the Bank contract,
-you become a world champion. -[Cole] Here comes Miz!
Nobody home right out here in front--
[Cole] And Otis just about ran through Miz.
Many people believe the contract's better than gold. Like, real gold.
Oh, and Miz bounced off the announce table.
[Corey] I mean, the Money in the Bank contract can change lives.
It can alter the course of careers.
[Cole] Otis now following Miz inside the ring.
Oh, there's John Morrison.
[Corey] And Morrison up on the apron.
Trying to cause a distraction, and it paid off.
First a kick to the knee, now to DDT.
Miz into the cover to become Mr. Money in the Bank,
and a kick out by Otis.
Miz now just being ruthless in his pursuit,
but better be careful not to get himself disqualified.
[Cole] Yeah, and look at Morrison with a cheap shot.
You know, just like in a championship match, Corey,
you've got to pin or submit Otis in order to win the contract.
Get up here, let's go.
[Cole] Now Miz unloading the world-famous hit kicks.
[Cole] The ones he stole from Daniel Bryan.
[Corey] Oh, into the corner now goes Miz.
Why can't you ever give The Miz credit, Cole?
Once upon a time, you were a big Miz fan. Now he stole everything.
Now Miz doesn't deserve to be Mr. Money in the Bank.
-Cover. -[Cole] Now by Miz,
hook of the leg, kick out by Otis. He doesn't deserve that, Corey.
He's got a massive ego.
[Corey] The judicial system would disagree.
[Cole] Thank God the United States judicial system… [laughs]
[Corey] Oh, my goodness.
[Cole] And now Otis trying to fight back the big right hands to Miz.
Miz ducks underneath, and now a sleeper hold.
[Corey] Nighty-night, Otis.
It's a great strategy by The Miz. Otis is starting to fade.
We'll have a new Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Cole] His size, he's probably got a bad case of sleep apnea
as Miz now brings Otis down to one knee.
And Otis is fading.
Miz could be closing in on the Money in the Bank contract.
[Corey] Maybe that's what Heavy Machinery was referring to.
[Cole] And Otis fading.
[Morrison] You got this, bro. Cinch it up. Let it up.
[Corey] And Otis trying to fight back,
trying to create some sort of separation, and he does.
-[Cole] Oh, what a kick! -[Corey laughs]
[Corey] Miz just tattooed Otis with that boot.
That was money.
[Corey] Miz is all business now.
[Cole] Again, he understands what it means to be Mr. Money in the Bank.
He successfully cashed in to win the WWE title.
As we take another look, watch this boot.
Bang! Collapsing the face of Otis.
[Corey] Too many people that would agree that rearranging their face is an upgrade.
But when you're talking to Otis, you should be thanking The Miz.
[Cole] Mandy Rose sees something in him. Don't be jealous.
[Corey] Miz…
The Mandy Rose thing, that was kind of like
when the head cheerleader goes to prom with the dorkiest guy in class.
It was just for social media purposes.
[Cole] You have experience.
And now Miz now, kick right to the midsection.
And Otis now trying to fight back, and look at Otis go.
-[Corey] That was a hell of a cheerleader. -[Cole chuckles]
-[Cole] Uh-oh. -[Corey] Oh, no.
Very unique way to build momentum if you're Otis.
But it works.
What would you call that?
[Cole] Inappropriate?
[Corey] Down goes Miz. Otis now with a shoulder tackle.
And Otis again.
[Cole] And he would love to punish Miz here tonight for running his mouth.
Putting Otis through hell recently. Oh, my God.
[laughing] Miz tried to tackle Otis and got creamed.
[Corey] He got run over by a coal barge.
[Cole] And now Miz face first.
And Otis is feeling it now.
[Corey] Oh, Miz is feeling that.
[Cole] 330-pound sandwich.
[Cole] Oh, it could be time, Corey. It could be time.
Inside the ThunderDome.
Ready to rattle the ring with the Caterpillar.
[Corey] It's like watching the movie Tremors in real life.
[Cole] Oh, look at Morrison just save his buddy.
At least momentarily.
And now Otis chasing Morrison out of the ringside area.
[Corey] Johnny Drip Drip is here for moral support only.
And now Otis back into the ring.
And Miz, oh, kick again to the face. And Otis is stunned.
Now Otis caught Miz with an elbow.
And now Morrison, look at Morrison now. Runs by the apron with Money--
What do you think you're doing, huh?
-I gave that back to you-- -I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything.
You are out of here.
[Cole] Finally.
John Morrison caught red-handed.
He's going to be sent back to the locker room.
I didn't do anything.
[Cole] And now Miz has no backup.
Oh, no.
And Miz better turn around because--
Don't turn around.
Otis now scooping up Miz. Is it enough?
Miz just somehow gets his shoulder out.
[Corey] And Otis, wow, with a discus clothesline.
Cover now to retain Mr. Money in the Bank. And a kick out by Miz at two.
Come to think of it, you put Otis in an open field and he spun around,
could power a small city.
And now Miz trying to hang on to the apron.
Trying to drag him back to the middle of the ring.
[Cole] And oh, my God, what the hell?
Tucker just clocked his best friend with a briefcase.
[Corey] That had to be an accident.
[Cole] What? What are you watching?
An accident?
[Corey] Miz now rolls into the cover. He can't believe it.
-Oh, my God, Miz is Mr. Money in the Bank. -[bell rings]
[Cole] Yes!
[announcer] Here is your winner and the new Mr. Money in the Bank.
The Miz.
[Cole] What the hell did Tucker do that for?
[Corey] You have to ask Tucker.
Doesn't look like he's in much mood to talk right now.
So let's talk about what just happened.
The new Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Cole] For the second time in his career,
Miz holds the contract that he can cash in any place,
any time for a World Championship opportunity.
Miz is Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Corey] The beautiful Universal Championship
could be headed back to the Hollywood Hills sooner than later.
[Cole] Now that Miz is on Monday Night RAW,
he could be going after the WWE title.
[Corey] Fair assessment of things.
Either way, the new face of the Money in the Bank contract,
and deservedly so, is The Miz.
-Here we see the closing moments. -[Cole] And look at Tucker.
There's nothing incidental about that, Corey.
That was blatant.
Miz cannot believe that Tucker actually clocked his best friend.
-[crowd] One! Two! Three! -[bell rings]
[Cole] And now this egomaniac, Miz, holds the richest prize.
The Money in the Bank contract.
The Money in the Bank.
You did this.
Think about what you did to me.
Dawkins, I cannot believe they lost our luggage.
I know just the man that can help us out.
Hey, we got a wardrobe emergency.
You came to the right place.
Woooo!
The rainbow!
[growling funnily]
-No. -Come on, Dawks.
-Feel the glow! -No.
-[chuckles] -[laughs]
-Now we have the smoke! -[all] Woooo!
-Wear the rainbow. -Taste the rainbow.
Woooo!
[both laughing]
-I knew it. -Miz. Miz. Cong-- Congratulations.
-Oh, yeah. -You are the new Mr. Money in the Bank.
You finally succeeded in taking the Money in the Bank contract from Otis,
but at the cost of destroying his friendship with Tucker.
Was this victory worth destroying Otis' life?
I did what was necessary for this business to thrive.
Understand that this is the most monumental victory of the night,
and now that contract has a meaning and a purpose.
For 15 years, I have been a star.
I have made people better. I am ratings golden.
I will not squander this. This Money in the Bank contract?
It's not a prop.
It's not a lunchbox.
This is a golden opportunity.
And to the WWE Champion and Universal Champion,
you are on notice.
You will not know when.
You will not know how.
You will not know where.
Do you understand?
I have cashed this in before,
and I will do it again, successfully.
[chuckles] Watch your back!
Otis took this for granted.
And, I mean, he took his best friend, his so-called best friend, for granted.
And, uh, you know… Isn't that right, Tucker?
Shut up, Miz.
This ain't about you.
Well, Tucker, why did you betray Otis?
Kayla, we were supposed to be a team,
but I was the workhorse.
I carried the load.
Carried the load. Whoo! Ha-ha!
I mean, you do you. You talk.
I did everything for that man.
For the team.
I put him first for the team. I treated him like a brother.
And for what?
So that no one ever saw me? So I was always an afterthought?
Oh, Tucky, make sure you tag in Otis for The Worm.
Tucky, don't talk too much.
Tucky, make sure Otis has the spotlight.
But the truth is, he can't function without me.
Who do you think that it was, huh,
that gave him the confidence to ask out Mandy Rose? Me!
Who's had his back for all these years? Me!
But Otis can't tie his own shoes without me!
[grunting]
[Cole] Oh, my God, Otis now going right after Tucker.
And Tucker retreating.
[Corey] Otis is irate. Chaos ensuing in the backstage area.
Listen, imagine the emotions that are going on here, Corey.
I mean, these two, Tucker and Otis, were once the best of friends.
It sounds to me like Tucker's had a great deal of frustration
that just kept building and building and building
and finally bubbled over, and it cost Otis big.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is one person
who can understand what Otis is going through.
That person would be "The Boss", Sasha Banks,
because coming up next, she has a championship match
against a woman who used to be her best friend, Bayley.
They had an unbreakable friendship.
Bayley, though, imploded because of jealousy, ego, and vanity.
[Corey] And what's so sad about all this
is Sasha and Bayley were once inseparable.
[Bayley] Our friendship is unstoppable.
[Banks] These titles represent our friendship.
-We are stronger… -[both] Together.
[Banks] We're best friends.
There's nothing that's gonna stand between us.
[Corey] Sasha Banks is hurt,
and Baszler continuing to hammer away at the injured leg.
Nia Jax with a crossbody!
[bell rings]
You wanna stand?
No.
[Bayley] I never cared about you.
And I damn sure didn't care about our friendship.
You deserve all of this. All of this.
[Banks screams]
[Bayley] Do you think I enjoyed doing that to my tag partner?
Well, ding-dong, hello?
Yes, I did.
I can watch that inspiring footage all day long,
but I'm not going to, because I want to be done with Sasha Banks,
but now it seems that she's an even bigger pain in my ass than she was before.
I don't have an ounce of time to waste
on that useless, poor little crybaby Sasha,
because I am the most dominant Women's Champion
that this place has ever seen.
I'm gonna dance.
[Cole] Over one year of an historic reign as--
Come on, Michael.
I am the longest reigning SmackDown women's champion,
which I did all by myself.
[screams]
[Banks] All by yourself?
Let's not forget who helped you every single time.
You turned your back on me.
You tried to end my career.
You want Hell? You got it.
Me and you locked inside of Hell in a Cell.
I am going to take the one thing that you love the most,
your SmackDown Women's Championship.
Because I am Sasha Banks, and my name is bigger than your title.
I don't have to sign anything.
I didn't, and I won't sign the contract, so you may as well burn the damn thing.
Because I know Sasha likes to call herself "The Boss."
Well, ding-dong! Hello! You are not The Boss of me, sister!
You don't stand a chance, bitch!
♪ I'll show you why ♪
-♪ Running so fast ♪ -Sign it.
[screaming]
[Banks] You started this, and I'm gonna finish it.
-Sign it! -[grunting]
♪ Nowhere to run ♪
♪ We've come so far ♪
♪ Look at us ♪
♪ We're better than this ♪
[grunting]
I'm going to take your title,
and I am going to finish what you started.
[grunting]
[Sasha Banks' music playing]
[announcer] It's Boss time,
because here comes The Boss of the cell, Sasha Banks.
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen, there have been
three Women's Hell in a Cell matches in history, this being the third.
Sasha Banks will have competed in every single one.
And WWE Hell in a Cell is brought to you in part tonight by Credit One Bank.
Visit gocreditone.com. Life ever rewarded.
But, Corey, there is one thing
Sasha Banks has not accomplished in her illustrious career.
[Corey] Sasha Banks has never captured
the coveted SmackDown Women's Championship
currently held by her former best friend, Bayley.
[Cole] Sasha, a five-time RAW Women's Champion, a two-time Tag Team Champion.
[Corey] What stood out to me over the past several weeks--
We just saw it again in the video package,
Sasha Banks' statement that her name is bigger than Bayley's championship.
And there's an element of truth to that.
But if Sasha Banks didn't have Bayley as her ride-or-die for all these years,
there's no way in hell Sasha reaches the level that she has.
Bayley knows it. I think Sasha knows it.
[Cole] Hey, the same can be said for Bayley.
She may not be champion for over a year, Corey, if it isn't for Sasha Banks.
[Corey] Entirely possible,
or it's also possible that the sidekick has eclipsed The Boss.
[Bayley's music playing]
[Cole] Here is the historic SmackDown Women's Champion.
Bayley has held the title, as of today, 380 days,
and she carries with her that chair,
which has become symbolic of her turncoat status
with her once best friend, Sasha Banks.
[Corey] See, I don't like the way you say it, Cole.
It's simply a reminder for Bayley of her freedom.
[Cole] What Bayley did with the steel chair to Sasha Banks
is still fresh in Bayley's mind, and it drives the role model.
You know, there's an incredible series on the WWE Network
called WWE Chronicle.
Bayley is, uh… emphasized in the latest edition,
and she talks about this being the one-year anniversary
of not only winning the SmackDown Women's Championship…
1-0!
1-0 right here! Undefeated, stupid idiot!
[Cole] 1-0 inside Hell in a Cell.
Nonetheless, Bayley talking, Corey, about her change in her life
a year ago, where she evolved.
Remember the night where she cut her hair?
She called that the night that she shed her skin,
where she became a new superstar,
a new competitor, and tonight enters Hell in a Cell
for the first time in her career.
[Corey] That is an absolute truth. I witnessed it firsthand.
I remember the first day Bayley arrived in WWE, back in the days of FCW.
She is a different competitor.
She is a different woman.
[bell dings]
[announcer] The following contest is a Hell in a Cell match
for the SmackDown Women's Championship!
Both competitors will be locked inside Hell in a Cell.
There are no disqualifications or countouts,
and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
Introducing the challenger,
from Boston, Massachusetts,
-Sasha Banks! -[crowd cheering]
And her opponent, from San Jose, California,
she is the SmackDown Women's Champion,
Bayley!
[Cole] It's really important that we digest
the rules that Greg Hamilton just told us about.
Because this is our second Hell in a Cell match of the evening.
The first one was I Quit. This one, you win via pinfall or submission.
The Hell in a Cell now lowering-- Oh! Around the ring, and wait a minute!
-[Corey] Oh, no! -No! No!
[Cole] And Bayley's chair, her security blanket,
just went flying outside Hell in a Cell!
[Corey] And Bayley's not Linus from the Peanuts, Cole.
Bayley's a competitor, an elite-level competitor.
That was simply, uh--
You want to go get your chair?
You want to go get the one thing that you love, huh?
-Get up and fight. -Get her back.
There's no-- It's not--
-Get up. -I don't need the stupid chair.
[Cole] The official is right.
[Corey] It was simply a tool of the trade.
-Bayley needed an advantage. -[Cole] Ow!
Yeah, she needed an advantage. You said that right, Corey.
Bayley needs an advantage tonight against the very upset, irate, angry Sasha Banks.
And look at The Boss taking it out on Bayley.
Remember, no disqualifications, no countouts.
It's pinfall or submission for the SmackDown Women's Championship
in one of the most intense rivalries we've ever witnessed.
You messed up, Bayley. You messed up!
[Corey] In the early moments of this matchup,
The Boss going ballistic on the champion.
[Cole] And this is what I expected.
Sasha looking for an early win over Bayley.
Bayley has run for weeks now from Sasha Banks.
Sasha's called her a coward, and there may be some truth to that.
And now Banks send-- Bayley's forcing the Bank Statement!
Bank Statement, center of the ring. Could Bayley tap?
If she does, Sasha's the champion.
[Corey] Bayley instinctively trying to shift her hips,
trying to get her weight out from underneath Sasha's body.
[Cole] But she's got to break the hold here, Corey.
Remember, look at how-- Bayley biting, which is legal.
The ropes don't break a hold inside Hell in a Cell.
Let's make that perfectly clear.
And Bayley had to resort to actually biting
the hand of Sasha Banks to force the break.
[Corey] Uh-oh, The Boss looking to take a high risk.
And now Sasha… As Bayley ducks underneath,
and now Bayley takes advantage!
She not only drove Sasha into the cell, Corey, but into the beams of the cell.
[Cole] That unforgiving steel.
And now again, Sasha, driven by the SmackDown Women's Champion,
and now a smile crossing the face of Bayley.
She's got to be enjoying this.
As we take another look at this tremendous impact.
Bayley driving the challenger into the unforgiving steel of the cell.
And now a kendo stick in hand.
All very, very legal.
Oh, misses wildly as Bayley… and Sasha Banks ducks out of the way.
Not once, not twice, but now three times.
And this time, Sasha able to block.
-And now Sasha with a kendo stick. -[Corey] Uh-oh.
-Oh, good Lord. -[Cole] God.
[Corey] The Boss doesn't like you any more than Bayley does, Cole.
Oh, and elbow connects right to the throat of Sasha Banks.
[Cole] And Bayley with yet another weapon.
Oh, and now Bayley caught again by Sasha.
Oh, and Sasha, did you hear that kick to the kidney?
[Corey] I'm not sure if it was the kick or the knee tap of The Boss
that connected with Bayley, but either way,
it put the champion down fast.
[Cole] Sasha has not forgotten what Bayley has done to her
as you take another look at Sasha Banks intercepting Bayley.
And then that. I think it was the knee.
It looked like it caught Bayley right between the eyes.
[Corey] And now Sasha has dragged a table out inside Hell in a Cell.
Complete and utter disdain for one another.
And, Corey, you've known both of these women for their entire careers
and for their friendship to come to this point.
[Corey] They've been through a lot.
They had a great Iron Man battle a number of years ago.
Battle of the NXT Championship, but nothing like this.
[Cole] But listen, that was competition. This is just hatred.
[Corey] Well, it's evolved because Sasha Banks has never forgiven herself
for coming up short to Bayley at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn several years back.
A classic of a match, but The Boss came up short
and has never forgotten that.
[Cole] And Bayley wants to establish complete dominance here tonight.
You want to talk about a dominant champion.
There's only one woman in history that's ever held combined titles
for over a thousand days.
-Bayley's-- Whoa! -[Corey] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Cole] She's closing in on that mark.
[Corey] And now Bayley's driven in again by Sasha.
The weight of the table driven into the ribs of Bayley.
[Cole] Goodness.
[Corey] What's Banks gonna do? Oh, my God, a Meteora!
[Cole] Scaling the table and a Meteora into the cell.
And now Banks goes to the top rope.
Another Meteora!
It's indeed force time for the title and a kick out by Bayley.
Bayley just narrowly escaping as we look once more.
Very, very unique offense. Innovative.
[Corey] Sasha Banks nearly making Bayley look like
the Play-Doh Spaghetti Factory through the cell.
Now what is Sasha gonna look for?
Now a chair. We've had a kendo stick, a table, and now a couple of steel chairs.
It's no secret, The Boss can be ruthless when she wants to be.
And tonight, I think Sasha needs to be.
You wanted this, Bayley?
[Cole] Swinging wildly, Bayley now scooping Sasha up,
looking to try to win here, and a kick out at two.
Bayley would love to have gotten a pinfall there and just got out of dodge.
Oh, and Sasha hit hard.
Sasha landed nasty. She might have
tweaked her ankle when she landed on the table.
[Corey] First she hit her jaw when she came down
and then she, to your point, hit the table hard.
[Cole] Bayley now with the steel chair in her clutches
and the worst of intentions in mind.
The Boss looking all but helpless at the moment.
And Bayley just taking her time, savoring the moment.
Oh, and Sasha just slides out of harm's way
and now using the table to her advantage.
And now Banks up on the apron, driving Bayley into the cell.
[Corey] Banks herself landed precariously.
Damaged her tailbone.
[Cole] Sasha knows all about being inside Hell in a Cell, how brutal this match is.
Bayley experiencing it for the very first time.
-[Bayley yells] -Get over here, Bayley. Get over here.
[Cole] Oh, God.
[Corey] Banks hung out to dry across the middle rope,
Bayley buying herself some valuable time to recover.
[Cole] Yeah, try to regain her breath, take control of this match again.
Now Bayley with a steel chair.
What does Sasha have left now?
[Corey] Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Oh, Sasha, Sasha able to scale the cell.
Back to the apron, lands on her feet. Bayley now driving Sasha.
Oh, and Sasha now got caught up in the apron
but still able to deliver some offense to Bayley.
[Cole] What an exchange, back and forth.
The Boss getting the upper hand at the moment.
Sasha still has work to do if she wants to become champion.
Bayley certainly still in this fight.
[Corey] And Banks now driving.
[Cole] Oh, my God, Bayley hit the steps hard.
[Corey] Now Bayley certainly in jeopardy. Can Sasha roll the champion in the ring?
Apply a pinfall or a submission?
[Cole] No, no, no, no, no. The Boss wants to hurt the champ.
[Corey] Yeah, she wants to punish Bayley,
put Bayley through what Sasha had to go through.
[Cole] Couple more kendo sticks.
The Boss getting creative once again.
[Corey] Offense in a Hell in a Cell match
limited only by the competitor's imagination.
[Cole] And Sasha's got a wild one.
[Corey] Oh, no, no. This is gonna be bad.
[Cole] Bayley realized and fighting for dear life.
And now Bayley turning things around, trying to suplex Sasha.
Through the kendo sticks, Sasha lands up on the apron.
[Corey] Kendo sticks were suspended between the stairs and the cage.
-[Cole] Oh, my God. -[Corey] Oh, holy…
[Cole] Sasha may be hurt.
[Corey] We know several weeks back,
Sasha Banks suffered a rather severe neck injury.
[Cole] Yeah, thanks to Bayley.
[Corey] And right now, Bayley might be able to exploit it.
Thanks to me!
[Corey] Thanks to Bayley, she's reminding you
as we look once again at the tremendous impact.
Banks striking not only the kendo stick, but the steel ring stairs.
[Bayley] Good idea, Sasha.
[Cole] And you gotta wonder if Sasha's… If the neck injury's healed.
-And Bayley now… -Let's see here…
[Corey] One-upmanship from the champ.
Sasha realizing she's in trouble, trying to desperately fight back here.
And now Bayley looking to use the kendo stick for advantage.
Catapulted into a pair of kendo sticks.
[Cole] And Bayley believes the end may be near for The Boss.
-[Corey] It very well may be. -[Cole] And into the middle of the ring.
[Corey] Cover now by Bayley to retain the SmackDown Women's title.
And a kick out by Sasha.
Let's look at this once more.
The champion with the creativity of her own.
Clotheslining the challenger with two kendo sticks.
[Cole] Nasty.
[Corey] And I assure you, at this point,
Sasha's neck has been compromised once again.
And Bayley wasting no time exploiting it.
Sasha, do you give up?
-Do you give up, Sasha? -No.
Now you wanna tap out?
[Cole] Now the entire focus of Bayley's offense has turned to the injured neck.
[Corey] It's a smart move when you've got an elite level competitor like Banks.
You take any opportunity you can.
Bayley knows her championship's in jeopardy.
[Cole] And a neck breaker.
Bayley quickly to the cover.
Is it enough to retain? Two and a half. Kick out by Banks.
[Corey] For the first time in this matchup that I can recall,
a look of frustration washing over the face of the champion.
Now Bayley knows Sasha better than anybody.
She understands that Sasha's got a tremendous heart.
It's gonna take a lot to put her away here tonight.
[Bayley] Boss of the cell, huh?
Boss, my ass.
-Boss of the stupid broken neck. -[yells]
[Corey] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, my God, and Sasha able to block.
[Cole] Banks fighting her way out of Bayley's grasp.
-And now looking for a sunset. -[Corey] Oh, no. Oh!
Hell in a Cell.
[Cole] Bayley may be the one with whiplash now.
[Corey] You can say that again.
Let's look once more, a sunset flip
into the powerbomb against the cell from the challenger.
Bayley is down. This is The Boss's moment.
This is Sasha's opportunity.
Sasha with a chance to win the SmackDown
Women's title for the first time in her career.
And Bayley kicks out at two, barely staying in this.
[Corey] Adrenaline can make the human body do amazing things
as I'm sure Sasha will attest right now.
[Cole] And look at how Bayley making Sasha Banks suffer.
And much like we saw in SmackDown,
where Banks used the same move to get Bayley to sign,
trying to get Bayley to tap out to it tonight.
-[Corey] Oh, but Bayley escapes. -[Cole] Oh, my God.
Face first goes Banks.
[Corey] The champion now just looking incensed,
almost insulted that Sasha Banks dared continue to fight.
[Cole] And Bayley may have just snuffed out the rally with this.
A desperation move, but it completely turned the tide
to this Hell in a Cell match.
And Bayley wants to continue to punish.
You know, even though she's held
the SmackDown Women's title, Corey, for 380 days,
she's always felt like she's been in this shadow of Sasha Banks.
And tonight's the opportunity for her to erase all that.
[Corey] To go back to the statement Sasha made,
Sasha Banks' name is bigger than Bayley's championship.
That's why Bayley feels this way.
[Cole] And Banks… Oh, she averted disaster there.
Sliding underneath the steps, and now a knee caught Bayley on the face.
And now Banks driving Bayley face first into the chair.
And now it's Sasha Banks back up on top.
Into the corner, nobody home. Luckily, Sasha didn't hit the chair.
[Corey] Bayley-- I'm sorry, Sasha shifting her weight backward
to deliver that maneuver as usual.
Avoided contact with a steel chair, but didn't avoid disaster altogether.
And now look at this. Oh, my God!
[Cole] Sasha may be out cold.
Bayley dragging a lifeless Banks to the center of the ring.
Covered now to retain.
And somehow, perhaps just on instinct, Banks gets her shoulder up.
[Corey] Look at this once more. Bayley with a sunset grip.
-[Cole] God, frightening. -[Corey] Propelling her challenger.
The back of Sasha's neck clean into the steel chair.
[Cole] And now Bayley with Sasha now.
And Bayley gonna climb up to the top rope and look to put Sasha Banks away.
[Corey] Bayley's mastered a flying elbow. Here it comes!
And it connects to Banks now.
To retain the SmackDown Women's title
and get rid of Sasha out of her life for good, and it won't happen.
Come on!
[Cole] Let's take one more look at this maneuver from the champion.
That is frightening.
And then soaring through the cell.
Elbow dropped right to the heart of her former best friend,
but The Boss fights on.
[Cole] And now Sasha.
Look at this! Backstabber! Looking for the Bank Statement.
[Corey] And submission hold, middle of the ring!
[Cole] Oh, my God! Bank Statement for Banks!
Will Bayley tap?
This hold has put so many individuals away.
[Corey] Bayley reaching for the rope,
but that won't force a break in the cell match.
[Cole] So Bayley's gonna instead slide out of the ring,
-and that will get the break going. -[Corey] Smart.
-Oh, whoa. -And now tying Banks up in the apron.
And again, very innovative offense by Bayley here tonight.
Inside Hell in a Cell. Oh, my goodness!
[Corey] Oh, no. That was the steel ring beam.
That was the frame of the ring.
[Cole] I mean, seriously, Corey, how much more of this can Sasha take?
[Corey] I don't know if Banks is even conscious. Oh, my God!
[Cole] And Bayley unloading with a kendo stick to Banks,
who's caught up in the apron. She can't defend herself.
[Corey] Bayley just battering The Boss once again with a kendo stick.
[Cole] Look at the look on her face.
Absolute disgust on the face of the champion.
[Corey] How far is Bayley willing to go?
As far as absolutely necessary.
[Cole] Now rope and duct tape. What the hell is she doing?
I'm so sweaty. Can you do this for me?
[referee] No, I can't do that for you.
[Cole] Almost casually chatting with the official.
-Give up! Give up! -[Corey] Listen.
[shouting indistinctly]
[Cole] Meanwhile, Bayley just used her teeth.
[Corey] Whatever it takes, Cole.
Well, let's be perfectly honest.
Duct tape wasn't created for use in a wrestling match.
[Cole] No kidding. Inside Hell in a Cell. What is Bayley doing here?
[Corey] Whatever it takes.
[Cole] This is a first.
Bayley just doubling up some kendo sticks.
Turned into a bo-staff of sorts.
[Corey] Who knew? Not only a role model, but a weapons expert.
-Damn it! -[Corey] We should be celebrating.
This sort of creativity should be celebrated
by the SmackDown Women's Champion.
Well done, Bayley.
[Cole] Still don't quite know what she was trying to do.
[indistinct shouting]
[Cole] Bayley maybe abandoning her plans.
That's her prerogative. She's the champion.
[Corey] Whatever she built is a mess.
But nonetheless, Bayley is still in control of this matchup.
[Cole] Listen, all Bayley has to do is not lose.
-Oh, my God. -[Corey] What the hell?
Sasha with a fire extinguisher.
Blinding Bayley.
[Corey] Can Sasha now take advantage?
[grunting]
Hey!
[Cole] Bayley, she can't see, so she's trying to get out of the cell.
But the cell door is locked.
Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh.
What was that about "Bayley can't see", Cole?
[Cole] Well. she grabbed…
She was trying to grab her trusty chair, and now it's Sasha Banks that's got it.
-Oh! -[Banks yelling]
[Cole] And now the wrath of The Boss.
Fury unleashed.
Screw you!
[Corey] And now it's Sasha's turn.
[Cole] Oh, my goodness.
You're nothing, Bayley. You're nothing without me. Nothing!
[Corey] The Champ is down, and The Boss is all fired up.
-[grunts] -[Cole] And again.
-Yeah! -[Cole] And now, oh, Sasha.
[Corey] Meteora now just destroying the champion in the corner of the cell.
[Cole] And now it's Bayley that's trying to play defense.
Sasha Banks has recovered, for the most part at least.
At least to become an effective challenger once again.
And what does The Boss have in mind?
What is Banks looking for?
[Corey] Whatever she can do to put Bayley away.
And Sasha Banks has probably dreamed of this moment.
[Banks] You made a big mistake, Bayley.
-[yells] -The biggest of your life!
[yells]
-You're nobody! -[yelling]
-You're not a role model! -[yells]
You're not the champion!
You are not better than me!
[yelling]
[Cole] Sasha, relentless, enraged.
All the emotion pouring out of Sasha in that one moment.
[Corey] But Sasha needs to remain focused.
The champion is down. This could be The Boss's moment.
[Cole] Everything these two women have been through, Corey.
Finally, it's dawned on Sasha what she's going through tonight.
What she just did to a woman who was once her best friend.
[Corey] This is no time to reminisce. This is combat.
This is about the SmackDown Women's Championship.
[Cole] The question, can Banks pull the trigger
as Bayley moves her way back to the middle of the ring?
Does Sasha have it in her to put Bayley away?
[grunts]
[Cole] Sasha allowing Bayley to crawl toward the chair.
Almost giving the champion false hope.
The Boss now from the top rope.
And Sasha…
And Bayley protected herself.
The Splash to the steel chair.
[Corey] Bayley able to get the chair up just in time.
[Cole] Yeah, I wonder who got the worst of that exchange.
Obviously, it affected Sasha Banks delivering the splash.
But Bayley was still underneath the steel chair.
Let's look at this once more.
[Corey] Like a car crash in the middle of Hell in a Cell.
[Cole] This really, Corey, right now is a turning point
in the SmackDown Women's Championship match
inside Hell in a Cell at the WWE ThunderDome.
Whoever makes it back to their feet first, gets on offense,
will have the upper hand with a title hanging in the balance.
[Corey] Do either of these women
have the ability to make it back to their feet?
[Cole] Bayley just trying to crawl away.
Remember, you only win via pinfall or submission.
No countouts, no disqualifications.
[Cole and Corey laugh]
[Corey] Good night, Banks.
[Cole] And now Bayley looking to retain.
Put Sasha away, get her out of her life for good.
And Sasha stays in it.
[Bayley yelling]
[Cole] Look at this once more.
We've seen Bayley utilize this maneuver many times to great success.
This time on the outside.
[Corey] Banks kicked out, but I think Sasha's just prolonging the inevitable.
[Cole] These women trying to figure out what they need to do
to put each other away.
[Corey] This deep into a matchup,
particularly one this brutal, of this magnitude.
-[Cole] Oh, no. -[Corey] You start to doubt yourself.
Sasha Banks has got to be asking, "Was I ready?
Am I as good as I thought I was?"
[Cole] Bayley could be asking the same questions, Corey.
Bayley…
racking her brain, searching the entire cell for potential weapons.
Kendo sticks and tables and chairs and a fire extinguisher.
Now a ladder in the ring.
What wicked deed does Bayley have in mind?
[Corey] No doubt it will be destructive,
but Bayley needs to keep in mind Banks is recovering.
All the time that Sasha-- Sorry, Bayley's spending
setting up this devastating contraption
is allowing Banks to get back in the ring.
[Cole] Yeah, but Bayley just like that, almost like she heard you.
Right back on the offense.
[Corey] Maybe she did, but that's a sign of a champion.
Realizing what the situation is at all times.
How much does Sasha have left? Still trying to fight back.
Oh, my God! That may be it.
That may have been the last gasp for Sasha Banks.
[Cole] Look at the way Banks' body is contorted in the center of the ring.
Look at it again.
Driven face-first into the unforgiving steel of a ladder.
[Corey] Sasha Banks has been laid out on the ladder
by the SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley.
[Cole] Does Bayley have a can of spray paint?
-You're done for. I'm done with you. -[Cole] Wow.
You're out of here.
This is it.
[Cole] Complete disrespect.
X marks the spot. The scene of the crime.
The disintegration of the friendship.
And Bayley looking to cement herself
as one of the greatest champion, if not the greatest champion in history.
[Corey] And Sasha rolls out of the way.
Bayley now driving the chair into herself as she bounced off the ladder.
And now Sasha with a Meteora from the ladder to the corner.
Bayley's in trouble.
And now Banks with a Bayley-to-Belly onto the ladder
using Bayley's move, cover, hook of the leg--
[Cole] Kick out by the champion.
[Corey] It could have been poetic justice, but it simply wasn't meant to be.
[Cole] And now, if you're Sasha, Corey, you're doubting yourself now.
You're wondering what you gotta do to put The Champ away.
[Corey] I guarantee it. That's what I was talking about.
Sasha Banks on the outside, but let's look once again.
Banks, no doubt about that one.
Launching herself into Bayley and then utilizing
Bayley's own maneuver, a Bayley-to-Belly.
We nearly had a new champ,
but almost doesn't count inside Hell in a Cell.
[Cole] And Sasha is irate over the fact that she couldn't put Bayley away.
Sasha again cannot let frustration take control of her emotions.
She's come too far in this.
[Corey] Once upon a time,
The Boss was the most ruthless competitor in WWE, male or female.
She needs to find that again.
[Cole] Bayley now with a running knee.
It looked like Sasha was going for the backbreaker.
Bayley able to counter and now Bayley with a Bayley-to-Belly.
Cover now to retain the title after a brutal match and Sasha kicks out.
[Corey] Look at this.
Done by The Champ herself.
The signature, Bayley-to-Belly.
But The Boss survives somehow.
[Cole] Corey, I believe the two best…
Don't sit on me.
in the women's division in the world today,
Bayley and Sasha Banks, putting on an unbelievable match
inside Hell in a Cell.
[Corey] But if The Champ has her way,
she will be the only one you're talking about in moments.
And now with a chair again to the spine of Banks.
And how much now does Banks have left?
It's going to be Gut Check time for Sasha now.
[crowd cheering]
[Cole] The evil look in the eyes of Bayley.
The metamorphosis complete tonight.
[Corey] Is it evil, Cole, or is it just reality smacking Banks in the face?
And now with a chair to the spine, went for the Bayley-to-Belly.
Meanwhile, Bayley goes face first off the chair.
And now Sasha.
[Cole] No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Corey] My God, but look at this,
Bank Statement with the chair around Bayley's neck.
The champ's in trouble.
[Cole] Sasha stomping on the chair.
[Corey] Bayley taps out.
-Sasha's the champion. -[bell rings]
[Sasha Banks' music playing]
[announcer] Here is your winner
and the new SmackDown Women's Champion,
Sasha Banks.
[Cole] Corey, how appropriate that Sasha used the chair around the face of Bayley,
much like Bayley tried to injure Sasha
a number of weeks ago to win the championship.
[Corey] It was apropos. It was effective.
But the story here is that The Boss finally did it.
The one championship that has eluded Sasha Banks
throughout her illustrious career,
eludes her no more.
[Cole] Sasha Banks wins her first SmackDown Women's Championship.
And she ends
a historic 380-day reign of Bayley.
Sasha hasn't even taken her eyes off her former best friend.
Not even a look at the championship.
There it is.
There's reality.
[Corey] Sasha said she was going to take from Bayley the one thing that went--
that meant more than anything to the champion,
and that is the gold.
[Cole] For the first time tonight, Sasha Banks is able to smile.
[Corey] There we see the closing moments.
-[bell rings] -[Corey] I mentioned it moments earlier.
Sasha Banks needed to tap into what made her great in the first place.
The ruthlessness, the viciousness, the vitriol.
The Boss found it and ripped
Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship from her clutches.
[Corey] Sasha Banks made a prediction earlier in the week.
And she said, "By the time Hell in a Cell is over,
I'll be able to say,
'I came, I saw, and I conquered.'"
Sasha Banks is the brand-new SmackDown Women's Champion.

It's business as usual.
Gentlemen, just who I was looking for.
You all have a big decision to make tonight.
As we all know, Mustafa Ali issued a challenge on the kickoff show,
so who have you chosen to represent the Hurt Business to take on Retribution?
Although, from the looks of it, it looks like Bobby Lashley's stepping up.
I'm sorry, Ms. Caruso.
Did you say step up?
It's a shame. All this time…
and you still don't understand how the Hurt Business operates.
Let me remind you.
Bobby Lashley is the CEO of the Hurt Business.
He's The Almighty.
He is the lead predator in this mighty pride of lions.
And like the legendary warrior kings of old, he doesn't order us into battle.
Lashley leads us into battle.
All right, so who have you chosen from Retribution to take on Bobby Lashley?
Gentlemen, suggestions?
Uh, uh… T-Bar.
How about the one in the lame mask?
How about the one named Slapjack?
Slapjack it is.
And let me say this.
This is directed specifically to you, Ali.
We are not greedy businessmen, but we are, in fact, businessmen
professionals of the highest order.
Yes, we are driven by profit, but we are also driven by our intense passion
for inflicting pain, excruciating pain on people just like you.
So I see your challenge, and I raise you. Let's make it a little more interesting.
Let's make sure that we just have two men facing each other one-on-one.
No corner men, no backups.
And I'll raise the stakes even higher.
Mr. Lashley…
is prepared to make this a United States Championship match.
Well, that's a major development.
I guess now we just wait to see what Retribution has to say.
I'm not waiting on anyone.
If anybody from Retribution wants to fight,
I'll be on that ring waiting for them.

[Tom] Right now, here inside Hell in a Cell,
the stakes have been raised between Retribution and The Hurt Business.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is for one fall
and is for the United States Championship.
Introducing first, representing The Hurt Business,
at a weight of 260 pounds,
The Almighty,
Bobby Lashley.
[Tom] As MVP described him, the lead predator of The Hurt Business,
Bobby Lashley set to represent The Hurt Business
because earlier on tonight on the Hell in a Cell Kickoff Show, Byron,
Mustafa Ali of Retribution told The Hurt Business,
"Pick one of yours to go against one of ours.
You decide the fall guy."
[Saxton] And listen, I love the moxie.
The Hurt Business taking it a step further
and putting the United States Championship on the line.
[Tom] And tonight, WWE Hell in a Cell is brought to you
in part by Tap Out, available now at tapout.com.
[Tom] Joe, how do you like the move by MVP?
[Joe] Oh, I love it. And here's one thing that we need to remember here.
And quoting Shawn Carter, not only is Bobby Lashley a businessman,
he is the business, man, and tonight he trades in pain.
And this year, you've got to agree, revenue has been off the charts.
[Tom] Yes, sir, and now the question posed by The Hurt Business,
will Retribution answer?
I think we just got it.
[Slapjack's music playing]
♪ Shut it down ♪
[announcer] His opponent, representing Retribution,
Slapjack.
[Tom] This is the one of Retribution chosen by The Hurt Business
for this matchup again.
Mustafa Ali saying earlier on tonight
that The Hurt Business are insecure, greedy backstabbers.
This is Mustafa Ali's way of getting back at The Hurt Business.
After what happened at the eight-man Tag Team match this past week on RAW.
[Saxton] How odd is this scene right now?
A member of Retribution adhering to the request of MVP.
No corner man, all alone.
Slapjack is all by himself to face The Almighty.
[Tom] But Joe, what an opportunity for this unhinged member of Retribution.
[Joe] Oh, I mean, if you would have called this an opportunity--
-I mean, when… -[Tom] It's a title match.
[Joe] When you're staring at Bobby Lashley,
you've got to wonder what kind of opportunity you signed up for.
[Tom] It's very fair, I think.
Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander, they picked the one "in the funny mask,"
and that is Slapjack, who Byron, we don't know very much about.
[Saxton] Listen, Slapjack, we're about to find out a lot.
[Joe] A good tactic. And look at Slapjack
trying to create a distraction against Bobby Lashley early on.
But here comes The Almighty.
[Saxton] The demeanor of Lashley did not change
the moment Slapjack came to that ring
because Lashley is poised to hurt Slapjack,
and he is effectively doing so right now.
[Joe] Oh, this is the trademark Lashley aggression overload.
Shoulder right to the midsection.
[Saxton] The explosiveness, the animalistic tendencies
all define who Bobby Lashley is.
[Tom] Oh! Look at Lashley just teeing off in the corner.
Lashley was the one who brought the eight-man tag team match
to a close this past week on RAW with his vicious Hurt Lock,
the full nelson submission.
[Saxton] There's a reason why MVP referred to Lashley as the lead predator.
Lashley, time and time again, has been the difference maker
for the Hurt Business.
[Joe] And the power, the incredible power of Bobby Lashley once again
just too domineering for anybody to deal with.
[Tom] Now Bobby Lashley looking to make a statement
on behalf of the Hurt Business. Storming.
-[Joe] That's what I was talking about. -[Tom] Suplex by Lashley.
[Saxton] And right now Bobby Lashley's making this look easy.
[Tom] It was Mustafa Ali, the one who was out
to try and cause some chaos, I guess, in the Hurt Business. And…
Well, the Hurt Business just turned the game right back on Retribution.
[Saxton] Ali had some cryptic comments.
Talked about allowing these members of Retribution,
like Slapjack, allowing their truth to one day be heard.
And as a result, they-- Oh, look out.
[Tom] Oh, look out, Bobby Lashley, the United States champion at control.
And now face first into the top turnbuckle.
And I think he got enough of a dropkick there.
[Saxton] Seen the unyielding loyalty these members of Retribution have to Ali.
[Joe] This is quite an opportunity for Slapjack.
I mean, he's going to need to turn it up here.
[Tom] Oh, and a cannonball.
And now Slapjack to win the United States title.
[Joe] Trying to get the shoulders on the mat. No count there.
It was too close to the ropes.
[Saxton] Bad positioning decision there by Slapjack.
But this is smart from Slapjack. You cannot allow Lashley any room.
[Joe] How much is the position?
I mean, Bobby Lashley is so massive. When is he not near the ropes?
[Tom] And, Joe, the way that this rivalry started off
between Retribution and the Hurt Business,
Retribution has not come on the right side of the win/loss column.
How big would this be for Slapjack and Retribution?
[Joe] You know, obviously, the movement needs momentum,
-and Slapjack-- -[Tom] Whoa, and a DDT!
Here's the cover to propel that movement, Joe, and a kick-out.
[Joe] And like I said, Slapjack picking a victory up here tonight
over Bobby Lashley, the United States champion…
That would be a huge-- a huge boon to the movement.
[Tom] The takeaway, the prize possession, not only of Bobby Lashley,
but also the crown jewel, so to speak, of the Hurt Business.
Look at Slapjack. There's something demented about this guy.
[Joe] Just realizing that now?
[Tom] Slapjack out to the apron. What is he thinking?
He's got a great opportunity, Joe, with Bobby Lashley on his knees.
[Joe] You know, we haven't seen much of him from the top rope, but-- Oh…
We're about to see him fly, I think.
-Bobby Lashley launching Slapjack. -[Tom exclaims]
[Tom] Oh, and a big right.
And look at Bobby Lashley mow down the competition.
[Joe] Oh, he's swinging the hammers, and now he's--
Oh, throwing around the flower sets.
[Tom] Toss overhead, belly to belly.
[Saxton] Look at the look on the face of The Almighty,
tearing through Slapjack.
[Tom] Oh, driven into the canvas.
[Saxton] Slapjack's night might be on the verge of reaching its conclusion.
[Joe] Oh, I think it is, Byron.
An almighty spine buster, and now thinking about the Hurt Lock.
-[Saxton] The Hurt Lock. -[Joe] There's no thought involved.
That is in, and it is indeed.
-[Saxton] Slapjack taps. Lashley retains. -[bell rings]
[Saxton] Oh, and Retribution swarming the ring, swarming Lashley.
[Tom] Retribution wasted no time.
[Joe] And you gotta wonder, Tom, was this the plan all along?
[Tom] Mustafa Ali directing Mace and T-Bar.
Lights out.
[Tom] And now Mustafa Ali calling for Retribution to shut it down.
[Joe] Lights out.
Trying to set up-- Mace and T-Bar trying to set up Lashley.
And the United States Champion battling back.
Here comes the rest of the Hurt Business.
[Joe] Oh, here come the rest of the office.
[Saxton] Much welcome backup here.
[Joe] Oh, that's Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander on Mustafa Ali.
Ali scrambling out of the ring towards Reykjavik.
-Where are you going? -What's wrong?
Where are you going?
-What's wrong? -Where are you going?
Come back in.
Come on back in.
Come back in.
[Saxton] Clearly, Retribution wants no part.
[announcer] Here is your winner and still the United States Champion,
Bobby Lashley.
[Saxton] Retribution wants no part of the Hurt Business at full strength.
[Tom] Joe, it did appear to be a trap set by Mustafa Ali.
Trying to set up Retribution to gain some sort of advantage on the Hurt Business.
[Joe] It was a trap for Ali,
but unfortunately it definitely did not work out tonight for Retribution.
[Tom] Got a feeling things are far from over
between the Hurt Business and Retribution.
[bell tolls]
[man] From Death Valley.
[man 2] Look at the size of that.
[man 3] Three hundred and twenty pounds.
Looks to be 6'9", 6'10".
Undertaker's expression has never changed.
The Deadman has risen.
[man 4] He just got nailed with a Tombstone.
[Undertaker] You will rest in peace.
[man 5] Long live The Undertaker.
[Tom] And there is certainly one of the things in WWE
that has become synonymous with The Phenom, The Undertaker.
No one has been in more Hell in a Cell matches in WWE
than The Deadman.
[Saxton] Think back to 23 years ago, that infamous Hell in a Cell matchup
between The Undertaker and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
A structure that will certainly shorten your career.
[Tom] And this is a hellish scene here at ringside
as we are readying for the WWE Championship match
between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton inside Hell in a Cell.
But we'd be remiss if we didn't celebrate The Undertaker.
This year's Survivor Series pay-per-view event,
which takes place four weeks from tonight,
streaming live here on the WWE Network, celebrates 30 years of The Phenom.
Incredible. One of the greatest of all time.
So many memories The Undertaker has created.
And not a superstar more deserving of a celebration at Survivor Series.
It is gonna be fantastic.
But right now, Hell has descended upon WWE ThunderDome.
In a matter of moments, Drew McIntyre will enter his first
Hell in a Cell matchup
in defense of his WWE title against Randy Orton.
The Viper has plenty of experience inside the cell.
But can Orton terminate the championship legacy
of McIntyre tonight?
I didn't leave Clash of Champions with the WWE Championship.
[Cole] Claymore.
[Orton] Instead, I left in an ambulance.
I don't remember a lot from that ride,
but I do remember what happened in my match.
[Corey] Every one of these legends have a life
from this past summer with Randy Orton.
-Woooo! -[siren wails]
As the saying goes, "With every action,
there's an equal and opposite reaction."
-[thudding and clattering] -[people groaning]
[groaning]
Drew, I am talking directly to you right now.
You want that legacy so badly? It'll be waiting for you.
If you survive one more WWE Championship match against me,
inside Hell in a Cell.
[Drew] Every time I see Randy Orton or I'm in the same building as Randy Orton
from now on, I kick the crap out of him.
Start at the beginning of the night.
Just gonna continue into the Six-Man Tag and as far as Hell in a Cell goes…
The answer is yes.
My title and my legacy on the line, mate.
I'm not sending you to purgatory.
I'm sending you straight to hell.
[Corey] RKO.
One, two, three. Ring the bell.
[bell rings]
[Orton] Drew hadn't lost via pinfall in almost one entire year.
Drew, if that's not a sign of things to come, I don't know what is.
I will be locked inside Hell in a Cell with Drew McIntyre
I'm going to take his WWE Championship from him.
By hitting you with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.
R-K…
[Drew] I want you to know something.
When I kicked you in the skull in Clash of Champions,
that was for everybody you've ever screwed over.
But at Hell in a Cell…
All the suffering I cause you,
it'll be for me.
[Corey] Oh, here we go.
[Cole] Drew McIntyre bringing the fight to the legend killer.
Oh! Onto the announce desk.
The fight between Orton and McIntyre has spilled to the ringside area.
[Corey] I cannot imagine what Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre
are going to do to each other inside that barbaric structure.
I am gonna end you. Yes.
[Drew McIntyre's music playing]
[Tom] Drew McIntyre is about to learn all about the cell.
[Joe] That's right, Tom, and let me tell you something.
Many things have been said about the Hell in a Cell.
But here's one thing that I've always seen ring true.
It's that superstars enter the cell with their destinies in hand.
And those destinies are chained for better or worse forever.
[Saxton] From the beginning of his WWE Championship reign,
202 days ago at WrestleMania,
defeating The Beast Brock Lesnar in record time.
McIntyre has said, "What is meant to be, will be."
[Tom] And now McIntyre, Byron,
look how focused he seems glancing at Hell in a Cell.
[Saxton] Goes back to when Randy Orton made the challenge
initially to Drew McIntyre to step inside Hell in a Cell.
And Drew responded saying, "Thank you, Randy Orton,
but I'm not locked in that cell with you.
It is you who will be locked in that cell with me."
[Tom] And Drew McIntyre inspecting this sadistic structure. Wait, that--
-Wait a minute, Randy Orton! -[Joe] No, no.
[Tom] Randy Orton is behind Drew McIntyre.
Trying to surprise the WWE Champion.
[Saxton] And McIntyre was ready for Orton.
[Tom] And. Joe, this has become commonplace
from The Viper in this rivalry.
You think I didn't know you had something planned?
[Joe] But you can't blame Randy Orton. This is master strategy.
He knows what he's doing. He's been in this position before,
and he realized that every and any advantage counts.
[Saxton] But this tells you, Joe,
despite this being the first Hell in a Cell match
for Drew McIntyre, he understands what he's getting into.
He understands the games that Randy Orton is capable of playing.
[Joe] This encounter will be a marathon, not a sprint.
And I believe that Randy Orton is ready to take him…
[Tom] Let's get out of the way.
…on that journey.
[Saxton] But that journey has not even officially begun.
The match is not officially underway until both men are inside.
[Joe] No, no, no, Tom, trust me. This match is definitely underway.
I agree with you. The brawl is, Joe, and it's getting nasty in a hurry.
[Saxton] Randy Orton plays by his own rules.
And right now, Randy Orton plans to destroy Drew McIntyre
-before they even get inside the cell. -[Joe] Wait.
And Drew McIntyre trying to block Randy Orton on the outside.
[Joe] And the official trying to usher McIntyre and Orton,
champion and challenger, inside the cell
so this WWE Championship match can officially begin.
[Tom] Good luck making that happen.
[Saxton] There is so much vitriolic disdain
between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton.
[Joe] Remember the steadfast promise of the WWE Champion to Randy Orton.
"No matter where you go, I will kick the crap out of you every time I see you."
But look at how Randy Orton turns it around here on the outside.
[Saxton] This is Randy Orton's playground.
Seven times, remember, Randy Orton has been in this position.
Seven times Orton has competed inside Hell in a Cell.
[Joe] We gotta admit, Drew McIntyre, he's met the challenge.
I mean, he's not missed a step here.
[Tom] And McIntyre closing the door to Hell in a Cell behind him.
[Saxton] This is where it gets real.
-[Tom] And the official now… -Now you belong to me.
-[crowd cheering] -[Joe] You heard McIntyre.
[Saxton] McIntyre just telling Randy Orton, "Now you belong to me."
[Joe] Right where these two left off this past Monday night on RAW,
the official has locked the door to Hell in a Cell.
This match is underway.
Orton and McIntyre for the WWE title inside Hell in a Cell.
And now here comes Orton right after McIntyre.
Byron, you mentioned the experience of The Viper here in this matchup.
He's won two of his 13 world titles inside the cell.
[Saxton] Think about the battles
against the likes of The Undertaker, John Cena, the list goes on and on.
[Tom] Joe, you've known for McIntyre for a long time.
Considering the sneak attack by Orton moments ago,
how does McIntyre settle himself?
[Joe] Well, McIntyre, he needs to not let this get too emotional.
That's what Randy Orton is hoping for.
He's hoping to prey on those emotions, make him go out there and make a mistake.
[Joe] Randy Orton feels, wait a minute.
[Tom] Go for the RKO early.
And there goes Orton to the outside.
[Joe] And all it takes is one mistake, Tom, as you can see right there.
[Saxton] I think Drew McIntyre wants to challenge himself
to see how barbaric, how sadistic he can get against Orton.
[Tom] And now look at McIntyre driving Orton into the steel.
[Saxton] Unforgiving steel of Hell in a Cell.
[Joe] He may be new to the cell, but he's definitely exploring the space.
[Saxton] And he's thrown up Orton, and again, attacking Orton.
Come on, Randy, tell me how it feels.
Tell me how it feels.
[grunting]
[Joe chuckles] Savage brutality at its finest by the champion.
[Saxton] That's what I was talking about, Joe.
Drew McIntyre is taking it as a personal challenge.
[Drew] I told you, you're going right to Hell.
[Saxton] As a personal challenge to see how far he is willing to go.
[Joe] Remember the traditional rules of Hell in a Cell apply in this match.
No count outs, no disqualification. There's the cover and a kick out.
You have to win via pinfall or submission inside the ring.
[Joe] And Randy Orton's looking for some breathing room, but Drew McIntyre says no.
[Saxton] This is smart. It's smart by McIntyre.
[Tom] And Randy Orton doing anything he can
to create space between he and the champion.
Look at McIntyre, Joe, carrying around…
-[Joe] Like a rag doll. -[yells]
[Tom] And slamming Orton into the cell.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre is establishing his dominance right now.
Oh! Into the post.
[Tom] Against Randy Orton.
[Joe] And the pain just wracking Randy Orton's spine.
[Saxton] A sick smile on the face of the WWE champion.
[Tom] Joe, we talked about McIntyre settling in.
He's smiling inside Hell in a Cell.
[Joe] I mean, he's much more comfortable
than I think any of us thought he would be.
[Tom] Extremely confident and now going for a steel chair.
[Joe] Move.
[Saxton] Not going to bode well for Orton.
[commentators exclaim]
[Joe] This is very unhealthy for a Viper.
[Tom] All of Randy's pursuits of the WWE Championship
between SummerSlam, Clash of Champions and now Hell in a Cell.
It's unleashed the Scottish psychopath.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre understands the gravity of this match.
He said it himself, "It's not just my title that's on the line, it's my legacy.
The legacy I am trying to build as WWE champion."
[Joe] Is that a hint of sadistic pleasure I detect on the champion's face?
-[Saxton] Darn right it is. -[Tom] You know McIntyre well.
You know that's in his DNA.
He's got a hold of the steel stairs now.
-[commentators exclaim] -[Tom] Oh, the face of Randy Orton.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre wants to beat Randy Orton at his own game.
[Drew] You wanted this.
You chose this match.
[Joe] What else does McIntyre have under his sleeve?
[Saxton] Whatever it is, it's not gonna be good for Orton. That's a guarantee.
-[Tom] Hoisting up the stairs. -[Saxton] Oh, my God.
[Tom] Orton evaded somehow, somewhere inside the cell.
He's rolled back inside the ring now.
[Saxton] That could have been the end of Orton in this match.
[Joe] Yeah, Randy Orton is definitely in survival mode here.
[Tom] The ruthlessness of McIntyre.
And now he's thinking about a Claymore.
I'll help you out, get up. Get up.
[Tom] Look at this.
What it would take a man to go to that level.
And now it's McIntyre trying to end this.
Thinking about a Claymore inside Hell in a Cell.
-[Joe] Here you go. -[commentators exclaim]
[Tom] A steel chair to the knee.
Now to the back of McIntyre.
And now look at this.
The chair into the previously broken jaw of McIntyre.
[Joe] That's right on that jawline, Tom. A jaw that was broken by Randy Orton.
[Saxton] And Randy Orton is well aware
that is a bullseye that is being exposed right now.
[Joe] Orton pressing his body weight down on that chair.
[Tom] It was an injury that was certainly a factor going into Clash of Champions.
Caused by three kicks to the skull in one night from Randy Orton to McIntyre. Boom.
[Saxton] This is the smarts, the acumen of Randy Orton to target
the leg that McIntyre was going to strike with the Claymore. Now going right after…
[Tom] Cover for the title. Kick out at one.
[Saxton] Right after the fractured jaw.
[Joe] And a look of incredulation on Randy Orton's face.
[Tom] And now Randy Orton, it's his turn to try and calm himself down
and get into the groove here inside Hell in a Cell.
Confines that The Viper knows very well.
[Joe] Randy Orton's in tremendous shape,
but this whole encounter has to be taking a lot out of him.
[Saxton] This is the scary part if you're Drew McIntyre
because now Orton has time to contemplate his next form of attack.
[Joe] Look at this. The steel chair. He's driving it in, Tom.
[Tom] Into the previously broken jaw and now look at this. Boom.
Jaw first, throat first, excuse me, into the bottom rope.
[Joe] And this is the most dangerous Randy Orton.
The attacker has become very focused and he has found his weakness.
[Drew groaning]
[Joe] And now it's McIntyre gasping for air.
And Randy Orton, the man who has defeated countless legends.
Beaten plenty of soon to be Hall of Famers and stars inside Hell in a Cell.
Earned the respect of The Undertaker,
the world's strongest man inside this structure…
Showing what he's capable of.
[Tom] Oh, what's this?
-Oh, no! Gosh! -[Saxton] No! God!
[Tom] Wait, did you hear that?
Flesh against steel.
[yelling]
[Orton grunting mockingly]
[groaning]
[Joe] This right here, this kind of torture.
This is Randy Orton's wheelhouse.
[Tom] This is where the sadistic nature of Orton comes to fruition.
[yelling]
You can't see right now. You want me to tell you what's going on?
You want me to tell you what you see? You want me to tell you what I see?
I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I see a big Scot getting his ass kicked.
-That's what I see. [grunts] -[yelling]
[Tom] An astute observation by Randy Orton.
[Saxton] As much as Randy Orton wants to win this matchup,
to win his 14th world title,
he wants to torture McIntyre in the process.
[Tom] Orton put McIntyre in the dark there just a few moments ago.
The same way the legends like Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels,
The Big Show and Christian, suffered a covert assault in the dark,
courtesy of a legend killer.
[Tom] Oh. Sends McIntyre into the steel.
[Saxton] Think about it. McIntyre thought it was over after Clash of Champions.
He thought he was done with Randy Orton.
It was Orton who wanted more.
[Tom] It was Orton who provoked the WWE Champion, used the temper,
the self-acknowledged temper of the WWE Champion against McIntyre.
[Joe] And unfortunately for McIntyre,
that temper has put him in this situation right here, Tom.
[Tom] This is what McIntyre wanted.
He wanted to cement his legacy, a fantastic WWE Championship reign.
If he can put away Orton for good,
-what that would do for McIntyre-- -[Joe] No, no, no.
McIntyre finding some energy.
[Tom] Orton trying to send McIntyre into the steel and a Glasgow kiss.
Oh, man, face first into the steel.
[Joe] More of a peck,
but I believe Drew McIntyre is about to get rolling here.
-[Tom] Oh! -[Drew yelling]
[Tom] And a thumb to the eye, a trademark of the Apex Predator.
[Joe] As they say, Tom, it's the little things.
It's the little things that dictate greatness.
[Saxton] McIntyre went shoulder first into those steel steps.
[Joe] Randy Orton has found his stride.
[Tom] Randy Orton tried to surprise Drew McIntyre before both men
even entered the cell, before the match even got underway.
Whether the early emotional storm that we thought we might see, Joe,
from Drew McIntyre, and now he gives Orton a chance to right the ship in this match.
[Joe] From a strategic standpoint, Drew McIntyre has handled this absolutely
the right way, but when it comes to Randy Orton,
no plan can survive contact with the enemy.
[Tom] And now the plan entails a table.
[Saxton] We're seeing the experience factor,
the comfort level that Randy Orton has in
this environment, taking his time to set up his next tool of attack.
[Joe] The champion doing his best to make his way back to his feet in the ring.
[Saxton] Valuable recovery time for McIntyre, Joe, I don't think it's enough.
[Tom] McIntyre is hurting.
[Joe] He's still got some fight left.
[Tom] McIntyre, shot to the midsection of Randy Orton.
McIntyre back up to his feet now.
[Saxton] You've seen the heart and the passion and the desire so many times.
[Joe] And the thunder's rolling through the islands.
[Tom] And now Randy Orton caught him with a backbreaker
for the WWE Championship, kick-out at one.
And Byron, we have seen this with McIntyre throughout his championship reign.
[Saxton] Always finding a way to hang in there,
always finding a way to baffle his opponents.
[Tom] Joe, as a competitor, when someone like McIntyre does that, kicks out
at everything, how much does that rattle you?
[Joe] It's beyond frustrating when you're throwing your best shot.
I mean, you don't want to see a man be able to kick out at two, let alone one.
[Tom] And the bedlam continues inside Hell in a Cell.
It's all for the WWE Championship.
[Saxton] Look at the resolve on the face of McIntyre.
[Tom] And Randy Orton, he was taking time to gloat, and McIntyre fired back.
And now look at these two heavyweights exchange blows.
[Joe] And Drew McIntyre is tapping into those unnatural reserves.
-[Saxton] Drew McIntyre-- -[all exclaiming]
[Tom] Shot to the midsection.
Oh, and McIntyre fires out of the corner.
[Saxton] McIntyre responding in kind.
Finding new life in this match. Overhead belly-to-belly.
However, Randy Orton said that Drew McIntyre only fired up
the WWE Champion.
-[Joe] But he's not done yet. -[Tom] McIntyre launches Orton once more.
The resolve in the eyes of the indomitable WWE Champion.
[Saxton] McIntyre daring Orton, "Get up, I want more."
[Tom] And McIntyre back up to his feet.
Randy Orton's stagger, shot to the midsection.
What's he thinking about?
Went for the Future Shock DDT.
Oh, it's into a neckbreaker.
[Joe] And up he goes.
[Saxton] McIntyre is cooking now.
[Tom] And McIntyre can sense it inside WWE ThunderDome.
Can McIntyre bring this rivalry, this match to an end?
[Saxton] McIntyre might be a few moments away from doing so.
[Tom] Orton back up on his feet, onto the shoulders now of McIntyre.
Not able to block it, Orton gets out of the ring.
[Joe] There's no escape from McIntyre.
[Tom] No way to run, nowhere to hide.
That is what McIntyre is trying to take advantage of Orton in this matchup.
[Saxton] We've seen this several times.
Every time McIntyre tries to get going, Orton shuts him down.
-[all exclaiming] -[Tom] Through the table!
[Saxton] The same table that Randy Orton set up
with the intention of taking out McIntyre.
[Tom] McIntyre tossing Orton through the table.
Watch this, Randy Orton absolutely thrown by McIntyre.
[Saxton] Rewarding the previous plans that Randy Orton had.
This is a prime opportunity in this match for Drew McIntyre.
[Tom] Byron, you used the word plans, and Joe, that strategy of Randy Orton
has not worked out at this point.
McIntyre has had an answer.
[Joe] McIntyre has had an answer
for every bit of strategy that Randy Orton has put forth.
But he still cannot put Randy Orton away.
[speaking indistinctly]
Get in there, bitch.
[Saxton] McIntyre trying to get into the head of Randy Orton.
[Joe] Choice words from the champion.
[Tom] Something just changed in the mind of McIntyre. And Orton,
a low blow courtesy of the ropes.
And now has got his hooks in on McIntyre.
The draping DDT.
Into the cover to win the title and a kick-out at one again.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre just never ceases to amaze me.
Every time you think he might be done for, McIntyre proves you wrong.
[Joe] Orton needs to be careful. He can't be overwhelmed by these kick-outs.
[Tom] These same kick-outs rattled "The Beast" Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
Byron, you remember what McIntyre said.
"Every time I got hit, I got angrier and angrier."
[Saxton] Look, McIntyre is such a unique individual in that
he finds motivation in weird places, unexpected places.
It could be a word, or a demeanor.
McIntyre always finds a way to draw upon something.
[Joe] Well, he may find inspiration, but Randy Orton,
he's finding more tools of destruction.
-[Tom] You gotta wonder, Joe-- -[Saxton] Whoa. What?
-[Tom] Oh my God. -[Joe] Oh no.
[Tom] We saw these implemented Monday night on RAW.
So Drew McIntyre could break into the Hell in a Cell to get to Randy Orton.
[Saxton] What is Orton planning to do with those bolt cutters?
-[Joe] I think he's got to dodge. -[Tom] It's obvious, guys.
Drew McIntyre was counting on the ring,
nowhere one to run and nowhere to hide for Randy Orton.
The door's unlocked.
[Saxton] I don't know what he has planned, but perhaps Randy Orton…
-[Joe] Where's he going? -[Saxton] …without smarting McIntyre.
[Tom] Joe, this has changed the game in this Hell in a Cell Match.
[Joe] Like any great general, if you don't like the battlefield, change it.
[Tom] One thing that has benefited Randy Orton is space, but…
Is he done?
[Joe] Here comes the champion. He's not done.
[Tom] And McIntyre in pursuit of Orton.
Drew McIntyre not gonna let Randy Orton escape.
[Saxton] That's the smartest strategy.
We don't know what Randy Orton was planning.
What kind of thoughts were circulating through the mind of Orton?
[Tom] Into the barricade.
[Saxton] McIntyre wasn't about to find out.
[Tom] The decision has to happen inside the ring via pinfall or submission.
There's no countouts, there's no disqualifications. This is all legal.
[Joe] Watch out!
[Tom] Into the steel goes McIntyre.
[Saxton] We've seen what kind of atrocities
can occur outside of the Hell in a Cell.
[Joe] There has to be a reason why Randy Orton is down here now.
[Tom] Obviously there's a reason, Joe. We don't know what the reason is.
[referee] Randy, it's gotta end in the ring. Get in here.
[Joe] Oh, I don't like that look.
[Saxton] Orton scanning the Hell in a Cell structure.
[Joe] I don't like where he scanned it at all, Byron.
-[Tom] Oh my God. -[Joe] Oh, here we go.
[Tom] Randy Orton has begun his ascent on the Hell in a Cell.
And Joe, inside the Hell in a Cell, those confines,
Drew McIntyre wasn't backing down against Randy Orton.
Now Orton is looking to go to the top of the cell.
[Joe] I kind of agree with this. I mean, let's face it.
Randy Orton was not having the best of luck in the cell.
So let's take it to the top and see how he fares there.
[Saxton] Does Randy Orton really want to take it to this level?
[Joe] You better believe he does, Byron.
Now the question is, does Drew McIntyre?
This how this is going to finish?
[referee] Drew, you can't go. It's got to end in the ring.
Don't follow him up there, Drew. Come on.
Drew, it's got to end in the ring.
[Joe] Uh-oh.
[Tom] And McIntyre is answering the challenge of The Viper.
[Saxton] McIntyre has agreed. You want to raise the ante?
You want to raise the stakes? Let's do it.
[Joe] Things are about to get exponentially
far more dangerous here, gentlemen.
[Tom] Randy Orton is 20 feet in the air on top of the Hell in a Cell.
And Drew McIntyre is going to meet him.
[Saxton] This cannot bode well for Drew McIntyre or Randy Orton.
[Tom] It has inspired legacies and shattered careers.
McIntyre meeting Orton on top of Hell in a Cell.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Saxton] No time for regrets.
[Joe] The stakes have definitely gone up.
[Tom] Randy Orton has been on top of this cell, on top of its roof in the past.
[Saxton] And Randy Orton lured McIntyre up there.
[Tom] Look at what Orton has in hand!
[Saxton] It was all part of a well laid out plan.
[Tom] And McIntyre, who has never gone to these heights,
let alone ever competed in a Hell in a Cell Matchup.
And it looks like Randy Orton, from this vantage point, just swung a steel pipe.
[Saxton] Right now it's McIntyre who is dropping bombs on the challenger.
[Joe] Beautiful change leg double by McIntyre
and he's raining that punishment down on Randy Orton.
[Tom] As the likes of Mick Foley and The Undertaker--
Oh, what it's like to be up here. How dangerous it is.
And Randy Orton reminding McIntyre of that fact.
[Saxton] Just a couple valuable seconds that McIntyre
allowed Randy Orton and Orton made McIntyre pay for it.
And you saw Orton target the right leg, the Claymore leg of Drew McIntyre.
[Joe] I think Orton is beginning to rethink this little excursion to the top.
[Tom] Orton has an opportunity again to strike to the leg of Drew McIntyre.
Has the WWE Champion down on his back,
that appears to have bought Orton time.
Joe, look at Orton.
[Joe] Where's Randy going?
[Tom] It appears Orton is trying to climb down the side of the cell.
[Saxton] Orton slowly descending but--
[Joe] Orton already accomplished what he wanted to do.
He lowered the champion to the top of the cell, but what is this?
[Saxton] McIntyre is following.
[Tom] McIntyre is in pursuit of Randy Orton.
Both men now climbing down the side of the cell.
[Saxton] A precarious position for champion and challenger.
Both hanging to the side of the Hell in a Cell structure.
[Tom] This is what this rivalry has come to.
[Joe] They're not hanging by much.
[Tom] The battle for the WWE Championship.
This is how important it is to both these men.
[Saxton] I do not like this scene at all.
[Joe] Oh no.
Watch Orton.
Whoa. Wait a minute.
-[Tom] McIntyre and Orton! -[Joe] The Champ is looking wobbly.
[Tom] Oh, and again.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute!
[Saxton] McIntyre trying to hold on for dear life.
McIntyre.
[Saxton] Orton trying to break the grip of McIntyre.
[Tom] McIntyre's grip is gonna hold up, now Randy Orton is trying to loosen it.
-[Joe] Oh no! -[all exclaiming]
[Tom] Drew McIntyre sent straight to hell by Randy Orton!
[Saxton] The entire 265 pound frame
of the WWE Champion just obliterated our announce desk.
[Joe] Randy Orton looks at his work but The Champ is down.
[Tom] For a moment, there was a sick smile that came over the face of Randy Orton.
[Saxton] You better believe Randy Orton is proud of what he accomplished.
[Tom] Randy Orton used the pride and the anger, Joe,
of the WWE Champion to try and goad McIntyre
to coming up on the top of the cell with him.
Putting McIntyre in an even more dangerous situation.
[Joe] And this is the cost of that loss of control, Tom.
[Saxton] McIntyre's…
[Joe] I can't believe McIntyre is still moving.
[Tom] There's blood coming out of the mouth of McIntyre.
He might have internal damage after crashing through our announce desk.
-There's no doubt about that. -[Joe] Might?
[Drew heavily breathing]
[coughing]
[Joe] This is too much.
[Tom] And somehow McIntyre--
[Joe] He's willing it out, but how much more can The Champ take?
[Saxton] It's pure instinct, Joe.
McIntyre trying to crawl to safety, but for what?
Orton stalking McIntyre who can't even stand on his own.
[Joe] More than that, I mean…
Randy Orton is enjoying this.
[Saxton] I really wondered how far Randy Orton was willing to go.
This should come as no surprise that Orton has taken it to this length.
[Tom] Let's go back. He took it to this height.
And down with McIntyre.
Crashing through the announce desk from the cell.
Well over ten feet in the air, McIntyre crashing hard through our announce desk.
And now has been showing signs of serious internal damage.
Randy Orton taking advantage of this situation.
Look at the impact on the body of Drew McIntyre through our announce desk.
And to the credit of the WWE Champion, McIntyre is trying
to drag himself back inside the cell to continue to fight.
[Saxton] How? How does that happen, Tom?
There's no way Drew McIntyre can continue this fight.
[Tom] Orton is helping McIntyre.
He's trying to help McIntyre back to his feet?
[Joe] Randy Orton, he realizes what he needs to do to secure this victory.
You hate to see a man like Drew McIntyre, a man who's come out here every week,
and he's done the right things.
And this, this is his reward.
[Saxton] You get no mercy from Randy Orton. You know that, Joe.
Drew McIntyre couldn't expect any mercy from Randy Orton.
All Randy Orton wants is to put Drew McIntyre away
and capture his 14th world title.
[Joe] Yeah, he's upon The Viper as he coils.
[Tom] Can Randy Orton be moments away from completing his mission?
Securing another WWE Championship.
But Drew McIntyre trying to get himself back to his feet.
[Saxton] I can't believe McIntyre is on his feet.
[Tom] Orton went for the RKO.
Wait, SummerSlam revisited.
Oh, wait for the backslide and a kick-out.
Hold on a second!
-[all exclaiming] -Claymore by McIntyre!
[Saxton] How did McIntyre have enough to even pull off the Claymore?
[Joe] These are the uncommon reserves that we talk about.
[Tom] One last gasp. Bam!
The Claymore by McIntyre sends Orton out of the ring.
[Saxton] Now that the key for Drew McIntyre is to get Orton in the ring,
-if you want to win this matchup. -[Tom] One more look at this.
Thought about it and then bam, the Claymore.
A desperation move.
Drew McIntyre hitting his best move on Randy Orton.
[Joe] That was Drew McIntyre's best shot. But he needs to get Orton in that ring.
[Saxton] We don't know what kind of injuries that Drew McIntyre has.
All we know is that Drew McIntyre is trying to will himself on
to win this match.
[Tom] And now McIntyre has the task of getting
the near lifeless body of Randy Orton inside the ring.
The only place where the decision can happen in this match.
[Saxton] Gonna muscle up, Orton. For all we know,
Drew McIntyre can have broken ribs right now.
[Tom] And McIntyre muscling Orton back inside the ring.
All trying to retain his WWE Championship.
Orton looks like he's out.
[Saxton] McIntyre has got to be thinking about it again.
Thinking about that Claymore.
[Joe] It's time we started the countdown.
[Saxton] Can he pull it off again, Joe?
Can McIntyre do it again?
[Tom] Pain radiating through the body of McIntyre.
But now finding the resolve.
Finding the anger within him to continue.
[Saxton] With his self-imposed legacy on the line.
[Joe] Focus is like laser, is laser-like.
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre is poised to strike The Legend Killer.
[Tom] McIntyre setting up for it.
A Claymore. Nobody home!
RKO!
Cover!
Randy Orton!
-Randy Orton is a 14-time WWE Champion. -[bell dings]
[announcer] …and the new WWE Champion,
The Viper, Randy Orton!
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre gave it everything.
Everything in his heart. Everything in his soul.
But it just wasn't enough to overcome that man.
Who is now the 14th time a world champion in Randy Orton.
[Joe] I mean, what could be said? The Viper came out here tonight.
Had the superior strategy.
And he now stands here a champion.
[Saxton] This was what Randy Orton wanted.
Randy Orton said it would not end.
Our conflict would not conclude until he became WWE Champion.
Randy Orton just accomplished his mission.
[Tom] Randy Orton has now tied Triple H
for the second most world titles in WWE history.
[Randy Orton's theme music playing]
We've gotta take a look back at this, this is the critical moment of this match.
Drew McIntyre crashed and burned through our announce desk courtesy of Randy Orton.
Then back inside the ring, McIntyre went for the Claymore and then fell subject
to the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment.
-R-K-O! -[bell dings]
[Saxton] Drew McIntyre with nothing to be ashamed of,
fought till the end, but McIntyre just couldn't recover.
But going through our announce desk, whatever internal injuries he's suffered,
was enough for Randy Orton to capitalize and secure the WWE title.
[Tom] McIntyre back up to his feet.
[Saxton] Whatever physical pain McIntyre is in, you gotta believe
the emotional pains has got to be ten times worse
having to stare at that sight.
Randy Orton as the new WWE Champion.
[Tom] After a title win full of legendary moments,
Drew McIntyre sees what has unfolded tonight here at Hell in a Cell.
Randy Orton stands your new WWE Champion! ht here at Hell in a Cell.
