172
00:13:02,181 --> 00:13:07,253
but those well-known back issues
are seemingly getting worse by the week,

173
00:13:07,319 --> 00:13:10,923
and opponents know
exactly how to strategize for that.

174
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:13,058
McIntyre, perhaps more so than most.

175
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:15,795
[Cole] Raucous crowd here tonight.

176
00:13:15,861 --> 00:13:18,998
Sold-out Mohammed Abdo Arena,
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

177
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,502
The world is talking
about WWE Crown Jewel.

178
00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:26,372
[crowd chanting indistinctly]

179
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:35,514
[Cole] And a lock-up center of the ring
for the World Heavyweight Championship.

180
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:40,653
Now, to talk about Drew McIntyre, it is
put-up or shut-up time for Drew McIntyre.

181
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:45,191
He has made excuse after excuse,
and a lot of those excuses hold water,

182
00:13:45,257 --> 00:13:48,694
but now he has to get the job done
and finally win the gold.

183
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:50,829
[Wade] Yeah, well, at times
over the past few weeks,

184
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:56,202
we've seen Drew McIntyre in a battle,
seemingly, with an angel on one shoulder

185
00:13:56,268 --> 00:14:01,340
and a devil on the other, but Drew
is now in control of his own destiny.

186
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:04,944
The excuses, the reasons
why things haven't panned out

187
00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:07,813
over the past few years,
they're put to one side.

188
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,548
Drew has to get the job done now.

189
00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:12,518
[Cole] The world was in the grip
of the COVID pandemic.

190
00:14:12,585 --> 00:14:14,353
Drew McIntyre was the WWE Champion.

191
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:16,689
He carried the company
in many different ways.

192
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:20,926
In fact, his first title defense
as the WWE Champion

193
00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:24,230
was at Money in the Bank in 2020,
when he successfully defended

194
00:14:24,296 --> 00:14:28,634
the title against none other
than Seth Rollins.

195
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:32,605
[Wade] At that point, McIntyre had
all the momentum in the world, however.

196
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:35,908
Right now, the momentum has to be
with World Heavyweight Champion Rollins.

197
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:38,811
[Cole] Yeah, but the momentum went away
from Drew McIntyre...

198
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:43,015
September, a year ago.

199
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,683
[Drew mimicking Cristiano Ronaldo] Siu!

200
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:46,385
[Wade] Oh, you see that?

201
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:50,456
That was the Cristiano Ronaldo
goal celebration from McIntyre,

202
00:14:50,522 --> 00:14:52,858
maybe celebrating a little early.

203
00:14:52,925 --> 00:14:56,462
[Cole] Ronaldo, of course,
playing football now in Saudi Arabia.

204
00:14:56,528 --> 00:14:58,764
[Wade] Right here in Riyadh
for Al-Nassr F.C.

205
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:03,435
[Cole] And a couple of chops by McIntyre
to drive Rollins back to the corner.

206
00:15:03,502 --> 00:15:07,806
And again, things started to go off
the rails for Rollins a year ago, August,

207
00:15:07,873 --> 00:15:12,578
when he lost at Clash at the Castle
in Cardiff, Wales, to Roman Reigns,

208
00:15:12,645 --> 00:15:14,546
thanks to the influence of Solo Sikoa.

209
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:16,782
Cover now.
And a kick-out by Rollins at one.

210
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:20,019
And ever since that day,
it seems like Drew McIntyre

211
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:22,588
just could not get back
to the top of the mountain.

212
00:15:22,655 --> 00:15:26,258
[Wade] Yeah, well, even prior to that,
it was essentially the culmination

213
00:15:26,325 --> 00:15:28,093
of a life's work for McIntyre.

214
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,130
Becoming the world champion,
and nobody was there to see it.

215
00:15:31,196 --> 00:15:34,400
And the bitterness
has just grown from there.

216
00:15:34,466 --> 00:15:36,001
[grunts]

217
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,570
[Cole] Another interesting side note
in this story,

218
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:40,873
the fact that Rhea Ripley
of The Judgment Day

219
00:15:40,939 --> 00:15:45,344
has made it pretty clear
that she has been trying to recruit

220
00:15:45,411 --> 00:15:47,846
either one of these men into her group.

221
00:15:47,913 --> 00:15:51,116
[Wade] And I'll tell you right now,
if I was either...

222
00:15:51,183 --> 00:15:54,019
Nice one, Seth. If I was
either one of these two men,

223
00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:59,258
I'd have absolutely accepted that offer
from Rhea Ripley and The Judgment Day

224
00:15:59,325 --> 00:16:02,227
because if one of these two
had accepted it,

225
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:06,332
it's guaranteed they would win this match
and leave as World Heavyweight Champion.

226
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:09,768
[Cole] And Rollins, now, drives himself
through the second rope,

227
00:16:09,835 --> 00:16:13,172
McIntyre able to catch Seth
in a belly-to-belly throw,

228
00:16:13,238 --> 00:16:15,674
and there's the power of Drew McIntyre.

229
00:16:15,741 --> 00:16:20,979
[Wade] Too big, too strong, even with
this level of athleticism from Rollins.

230
00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:24,950
And watch the lower back of Seth there,
landing straight on the hard concrete.

231
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:26,785
[Cole] And speaking of Rhea Ripley,

232
00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:30,055
moments ago,
she sent out a tweet that said,

233
00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:33,192
"Good luck, boys. McIntyre and Rollins."

234
00:16:33,258 --> 00:16:36,061
That coming from Rhea Ripley
of The Judgment Day.

235
00:16:36,128 --> 00:16:39,531
[Wade] Well, on the face of it,
neither man accepted any form of deal

236
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:44,169
with Rhea Ripley of The Judgment Day,
but what goes on behind closed doors

237
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:46,405
may be a very different matter, Cole.

238
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:48,474
[Cole] And again,
Rollins whipped into the corner.

239
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:52,611
Now, McIntyre realizing the back may
have been injured off the belly-to-belly,

240
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:55,781
and Seth, of course, with a
well-documented history of back injuries.

241
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:59,518
McIntyre, perhaps,
will now target the back of Rollins.

242
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:00,953
[Wade] As well he should.

243
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:05,424
Seth Rollins is a difficult man
to beat on any occasion.

244
00:17:05,491 --> 00:17:08,227
If you find a weakness,
you have to exploit it.

245
00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:12,498
[Cole] And I'm not sure,
Drew McIntyre smacks Seth Rollins around

246
00:17:12,564 --> 00:17:15,834
is the right strategy here.
Rollins into the corner.

247
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:18,470
McIntyre telegraphs that.

248
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:21,206
Seth, now, spinebuster by McIntyre!

249
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:23,976
Jackknife cover for the championship.

250
00:17:24,042 --> 00:17:26,111
And a kick-out at two!

251
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:29,048
[Wade] Once again, McIntyre
has got all his ducks in a row

252
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:32,985
coming into this one. Clearly targeting
that spine of Seth Rollins.

253
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:38,891
[Cole] Incredible scene here
at Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh

254
00:17:38,957 --> 00:17:41,627
for WWE Crown Jewel.

255
00:17:41,693 --> 00:17:44,396
This event sold out in under two hours.

256
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:48,400
And excitement all week long,
everyone talking about this event.

257
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:51,970
And, of course,
not a better way to kick things off

258
00:17:52,037 --> 00:17:54,306
than for
the World Heavyweight Championship.

259
00:17:55,674 --> 00:17:57,976
[Wade] You know what?
Hats off to Drew McIntyre.

260
00:17:58,043 --> 00:18:00,612
He said all along
he wanted to face Seth Rollins

261
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:05,084
at as close to 100% as possible.

262
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:09,121
McIntyre, at least on the face of it,
not looking for a cheap path to victory.

263
00:18:09,188 --> 00:18:10,389
[all exclaiming]

264
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,125
[grunts]

265
00:18:13,192 --> 00:18:16,361
[Cole] These men have met
a handful of times in their career

266
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:18,897
in one-on-one matchups, pretty even.

267
00:18:18,964 --> 00:18:19,965
[crowd cheering]

268
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,036
[Cole] Massive stakes,
of course, in this one.

269
00:18:24,102 --> 00:18:26,972
[Wade] Two guaranteed
Hall of Famers one day.

270
00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:33,712
[Cole] Rollins...
Oh, what a kick by McIntyre!

271
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:36,949
An opportunity to win the gold,
hook of the leg on the champion,

272
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:40,152
and forces Seth to kick-out at two.
And again, some frustration,

273
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:42,387
perhaps, setting in now for McIntyre.

274
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:45,858
[Wade] I don't think McIntyre
got full connection on that kick there.

275
00:18:45,924 --> 00:18:49,027
It was close, may have just caught
the groin of Seth Rollins,

276
00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:53,565
but Seth clearly showing some ill-effects
in the early goings of this one.

277
00:18:53,632 --> 00:18:55,667
[crowd chanting] McIntyre!

278
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:03,609
[Cole] McIntyre, now,
looking to punish Rollins.

279
00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:08,180
You know Drew McIntyre so well, Wade,
probably better than anyone in WWE.

280
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:11,550
What does Rollins need to do
to knock off The Big Scottish Warrior?

281
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:15,287
[Wade] First of all, you have to avoid
the power game of Drew McIntyre.

282
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:19,324
Seth Rollins' key to any victory
has to be his athleticism.

283
00:19:19,391 --> 00:19:23,128
How athletic he can be with that bad back,
however, I do not know.

284
00:19:23,195 --> 00:19:25,898
[Cole] And now Rollins,
a couple of well-placed kicks

285
00:19:25,964 --> 00:19:27,633
to the back of the neck of McIntyre.

286
00:19:27,699 --> 00:19:30,536
It frees Rollins momentarily.

287
00:19:30,602 --> 00:19:32,437
[grunts]

288
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:36,742
Seth lands on his feet. Step-up enzuigiri.
McIntyre dropped to his knees,

289
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:38,844
and now Rollins looking to rally.

290
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:40,412
[Cole] The thing about Seth Rollins,

291
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:44,249
even with his apparent
physical weakness-- Oh, nasty.

292
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:50,122
Rollins is one of the fastest thinkers
in the game. A true genius in that ring.

293
00:19:50,188 --> 00:19:52,691
And now, McIntyre
went hard into the post.

294
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,963
Favoring his shoulder.

295
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:02,968
[Wade] One way to take the power game
away from the big Scotsman.

296
00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:05,704
[crowd vocalizing]

297
00:20:05,771 --> 00:20:07,039
[grunts]

298
00:20:07,105 --> 00:20:10,609
[Cole] Clothesline by Rollins,
stuns McIntyre momentarily.

299
00:20:10,676 --> 00:20:13,078
There's another,
but McIntyre still on his feet.

300
00:20:13,145 --> 00:20:16,748
Drew misses wildly.
Rollins with a kick to the midsection.

301
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:20,686
Seth starting to tee off.

302
00:20:20,752 --> 00:20:23,889
[Wade] Peppering shots
all over the massive frame of McIntyre

303
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:25,357
and dropping the big man.

304
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:27,392
[Cole] A running knee. Down goes Drew.

305
00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:28,594
[crowd applauding]

306
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:33,799
[Cole] Seth on the apron.

307
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,202
Gonna now launch himself
off the top rope.

308
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:41,406
Moonsault from the other side.

309
00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:44,209
Cover now, hook of the leg
by Rollins to retain--

310
00:20:44,276 --> 00:20:45,577
And a kick-out.

311
00:20:45,644 --> 00:20:50,082
[Wade] Once he managed to soften up
McIntyre and use some of this athleticism,

312
00:20:50,148 --> 00:20:53,018
starting with this knee to the jaw.

313
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:58,690
Really is clear that Rollins
is showing no true ill-effects

314
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:01,159
despite those back issues
that have haunted him.

315
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:05,264
[Cole] I talked to Rollins
about his back earlier today,

316
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:07,933
he says once it loosens up
and the adrenaline gets to flow,

317
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,435
as long as he doesn't absorb
a lot of punishment in the match,

318
00:21:10,502 --> 00:21:12,404
he can usually make it
through without an issue.

319
00:21:13,772 --> 00:21:16,441
[Wade] Trying to make it through a match
with McIntyre

320
00:21:16,508 --> 00:21:20,612
without absorbing much pain
is quite something else. And even there,

321
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:24,182
it seemed like Seth had an issue
trying to suplex McIntyre.

322
00:21:24,249 --> 00:21:26,752
[Cole] And that time--
Rollins with a Falcon Arrow!

323
00:21:26,818 --> 00:21:29,755
Cover now! Is enough to put Drew away?

324
00:21:29,821 --> 00:21:31,823
Kick-out by McIntyre at two.

325
00:21:34,092 --> 00:21:38,096
[Wade] So much professional respect
between these two individuals.

326
00:21:38,163 --> 00:21:41,633
An initial cordial agreement
for this matchup,

327
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:45,537
it did descend into some bitter,
stinging words between the two

328
00:21:46,672 --> 00:21:49,841
as we see Seth Rollins showing
exactly the kind of resilience

329
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:53,412
that took him to the World Heavyweight
Championship in the first place.

330
00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:57,215
[Cole] This is the first of five
championship matches tonight

331
00:21:57,282 --> 00:22:00,218
at WWE Crown Jewel.

332
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:03,422
Rollins, McIntyre
for the World Heavyweight Title.

333
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:08,427
Now, Rollins, perhaps,
going for a Pedigree on McIntyre.

334
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:11,029
He was able to spin out of it.

335
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:14,933
And going for a Future Shock DDT.
Rollins, though, with the right hand.

336
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:19,171
[groans]

337
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:24,910
And the physical McIntyre,
agile as well for a big man.

338
00:22:24,976 --> 00:22:27,646
[Wade] Trading blows
with McIntyre is a bad move

339
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:29,414
for almost anybody on the roster.

340
00:22:29,481 --> 00:22:32,684
Now, Drew going high,
that's a rarity, and it's backfired.

341
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:34,686
[Cole] Rollins with a superplex.

342
00:22:36,955 --> 00:22:41,293
And now, Drew McIntyre,
with a suplex of his own!

343
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,295
-Is it enough to win the gold?
-[crowd] One! Two!

344
00:22:43,361 --> 00:22:45,197
Seth, did he get it?

345
00:22:45,263 --> 00:22:48,166
-[Wade] Oh, referee.
-[Cole] Oh, my goodness.

346
00:22:48,233 --> 00:22:50,535
Oh, my goodness, how close was that?

347
00:22:51,536 --> 00:22:54,740
Usually, Seth would go
for the Falcon Arrow off that superplex,

348
00:22:54,806 --> 00:22:58,443
but McIntyre was able to counter
into a suplex of his own.

349
00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:02,013
And watch this. There's two.
And at just two and three quarters,

350
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,648
Rollins got his shoulder up.

351
00:23:03,715 --> 00:23:05,317
[Wade] I'm glad we got a replay of that.

352
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:09,054
I had a feeling this referee had been
paid off, but he got it exactly right.

353
00:23:11,656 --> 00:23:16,294
[Cole] Referee Shawn Bennett in this
World Heavyweight Championship Match

354
00:23:16,361 --> 00:23:18,797
here tonight between Rollins and McIntyre.

355
00:23:18,864 --> 00:23:21,433
[Wade] Both men showing the wounds of war.

356
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:27,205
Drew, perhaps, looking the stronger
of the two at this point, however.

357
00:23:27,272 --> 00:23:30,742
[Cole] McIntyre with Rollins' carcass
on his shoulders,

358
00:23:30,809 --> 00:23:33,378
trying to climb now to the second rope.

359
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:37,082
And McIntyre.

360
00:23:38,183 --> 00:23:40,719
And Seth Rollins
able to slip underneath, though.

361
00:23:40,786 --> 00:23:43,622
McIntyre's in trouble trying to hang on.

362
00:23:43,688 --> 00:23:45,957
[Wade] Lost his grip on the top rope.

363
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:48,794
[Cole] And again, the back gave out,
was going for a Buckle Bomb.

364
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:52,798
Future Shock DDT! Future Shock DDT!
To win the World Heavyweight Title!

365
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,801
And a kick again by Rollins!

366
00:23:55,867 --> 00:24:00,205
[Wade] Yeah, those kick-outs
are getting later and later for both men.

367
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,073
This one is hanging in the balance.

368
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:04,576
Rollins was going for the Buckle Bomb,

369
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:07,312
but his back gave out
halfway across the ring,

370
00:24:07,379 --> 00:24:12,017
and McIntyre turned it into
a Future Shock DDT for another near-fall.

371
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:22,761
[Wade] McIntyre smelling victory.

372
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:27,299
[Cole] Begging Rollins to get to his feet
so he can deliver the Claymore.

373
00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:30,769
[Wade] I don't know if Rollins
can get to his feet, that's the issue.

374
00:24:39,044 --> 00:24:41,947
[Cole] The official was checking
with Rollins to make sure

375
00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:44,816
he could continue. And Rollins, now,
was he playing possum?

376
00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:46,985
Perhaps, as McIntyre kicked out.

377
00:24:47,052 --> 00:24:49,521
[Wade] Bret "The Hitman" Hart for you.

378
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:52,624
[Cole] And now, McIntyre
sent over the top rope to the floor.

379
00:24:52,691 --> 00:24:56,428
[Wade] This is Seth Rollins just trying
to buy himself some breathing room.

380
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,797
[Cole] McIntyre here right in front of us.

381
00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:03,001
Here comes Rollins, suicide dive,
drives McIntyre to the floor.

382
00:25:03,068 --> 00:25:06,438
And again,
Rollins grabbing the small of his back.

383
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:13,178
The intensity in the eyes
of the world champion.

384
00:25:13,245 --> 00:25:15,514
Pulling out all the stops.

385
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:17,883
[Wade] Putting his body on the line.

386
00:25:19,384 --> 00:25:24,623
[Cole] Oh, no, back to the stairs.
That is not good for the champion.

387
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:27,259
[Wade] The point of those steel steps,

388
00:25:27,325 --> 00:25:30,262
right to the base of the spine
of Seth Rollins,

389
00:25:30,328 --> 00:25:32,430
just as he got the upper hand.

390
00:25:33,732 --> 00:25:36,668
[Cole] And if Rollins' back
wasn't bothering him before,

391
00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:38,803
imagine what it feels like now.

392
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:42,874
And McIntyre, not done
administering pressure.

393
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:48,747
And a side slam to the apron

394
00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:51,349
by the number one contender,
Drew McIntyre.

395
00:25:51,416 --> 00:25:55,887
[Wade] Targeted offense from McIntyre,
and it is just brilliant.

396
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:02,360
[Cole] The first belly-to-belly suplex
early on in this match,

397
00:26:02,427 --> 00:26:08,800
exposed the bad back, and now McIntyre
has turned full focus on the injury.

398
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:12,604
[Wade] That is a man
who's done his homework

399
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:16,875
and is prepared to go to any length
to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

400
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:18,677
[crowd chanting] Claymore!

401
00:26:28,887 --> 00:26:32,724
[Cole] McIntyre,
trash-talking, jaw-jacking.

402
00:26:34,693 --> 00:26:36,828
Almost begging Rollins to stay down.

403
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,065
And Seth said no way.

404
00:26:40,131 --> 00:26:42,400
[Wade] This is not the time
to start showing--

405
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:43,635
[Cole] Glasgow Kiss!

406
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:46,938
[Wade] ...showing sympathy
for your opponent, Drew. Finish the job!

407
00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:50,742
[Cole] And McIntyre-- Rollins,
though, turns it around into a Pedigree.

408
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:54,079
Rollins with a chance,
but can Rollins capitalize?

409
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:56,147
Into the cover, for the win.

410
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:58,917
McIntyre barely gets the shoulder up.

411
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:04,389
[Wade] Well, McIntyre, for my money,
had this matchup won right there.

412
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:05,657
Took a beat too long.

413
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:12,764
[Cole] And watch Rollins,
tremendous counter, into the Pedigree.

414
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:17,135
[Wade] You cannot allow Seth Rollins
an opportunity back into the match.

415
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:22,374
Shut the door when you have that chance,
or you will live to regret it.

416
00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:26,878
[Cole] So, are you saying
that Drew McIntyre, perhaps,

417
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:30,515
was showing maybe a bit of sympathy,
may I dare say, for the champion?

418
00:27:30,582 --> 00:27:33,518
[Wade] Sympathy, regret, empathy,
he respects Seth Rollins.

419
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:35,253
Everyone in the locker room does.

420
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,957
But if you've got a chance
to put him away and win gold, you take it.

421
00:27:39,024 --> 00:27:41,426
You listen to the devil on your shoulder.

422
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:45,363
[Cole] And now the clubbing blows,
the forearms by the champion Rollins,

423
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:46,631
starting to stun McIntyre.

424
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:49,067
-[Seth grunts]
-Big right hand.

425
00:27:50,969 --> 00:27:54,973
Blow to the back of the neck,
and McIntyre's now down on the mat,

426
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,943
and perhaps in position
for Rollins to put him away.

427
00:27:59,010 --> 00:28:01,346
Seth Rollins, measuring his opponent.

428
00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:04,582
McIntyre is in stomp position now
for Seth Rollins,

429
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:06,985
but Drew McIntyre caught Rollins.

430
00:28:07,052 --> 00:28:11,990
[Wade] Too much left in the tank.
Too much power in The Scottish Warrior.

431
00:28:12,057 --> 00:28:14,225
[Cole] Oh, my goodness, a belly-to-belly.

432
00:28:14,292 --> 00:28:15,894
[Wade] Seth tried to block that.

433
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,329
[Cole] But able to power through
with McIntyre,

434
00:28:18,396 --> 00:28:20,465
and then one with much more force.

435
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,801
And now the neckbreaker by McIntyre.

436
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:28,807
[Wade] McIntyre finding that second wind,
and this has to be the worst nightmare

437
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:31,443
of Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

438
00:28:31,509 --> 00:28:35,180
[Cole] And the classic kip-up
by The Scottish Warrior.

439
00:28:35,246 --> 00:28:38,516
[Wade] Looking fresh as a daisy.

440
00:28:38,583 --> 00:28:40,151
[Cole] And he's calling for it.

441
00:28:40,218 --> 00:28:43,822
He's calling for the Claymore
to put Seth Rollins away

442
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:46,725
and win
the World Heavyweight Championship.

443
00:28:47,926 --> 00:28:51,596
Rollins, though,
able to intercept with a superkick.

444
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:56,301
And now, Seth with a stomp! A stomp.
Cover on McIntyre.

445
00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:57,569
[crowd counting]

446
00:28:57,635 --> 00:29:00,371
[Cole] McIntyre, kicking out
of the stomp at two.

447
00:29:02,774 --> 00:29:06,111
[Wade] The whole world
thought this one was over.

448
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:11,182
McIntyre had other ideas
just when he had victory in sight.

449
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:15,754
A desperation superkick
from Seth Rollins, followed by the stomp

450
00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:21,192
that puts everyone away, and somehow,
this Scottish behemoth kicks out.

451
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:25,130
[Cole] Very few people have kicked out
of a stomp of Seth Rollins,

452
00:29:25,196 --> 00:29:29,334
but McIntyre has,
and the world title match continues.

453
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,837
And now, a look of disbelief
on the face of Rollins.

454
00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:35,507
[Wade] Yeah, where do you go
from here, Seth?

455
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:45,650
McIntyre, understandably, has barely moved

456
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:49,320
since that weak,
weak last-minute kick-out.

457
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:54,993
[Cole] And now, Rollins taking his time,
heading up to the top rope.

458
00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:57,495
McIntyre, halfway across the ring.

459
00:29:57,562 --> 00:30:00,932
Rollins off the top rope,
looking to corkscrew moonsault.

460
00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:03,201
And a Claymore! Claymore!

461
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:06,237
-Claymore by McIntyre to win the title!
-[crowd] One! Two!

462
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:09,607
Rollins kicked out! Rollins kicked out!

463
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:17,348
[Wade] Seth Rollins
attempting that Phoenix Splash.

464
00:30:17,415 --> 00:30:20,852
Drew McIntyre, nimble as you like,
rolling out the way,

465
00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:23,888
nailing a Claymore out of nowhere.

466
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:27,625
And once again,
this match should have been over.

467
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:30,895
But Seth Rollins
is just made of special stuff.

468
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,137
[Cole] Drew McIntyre can't believe it.

469
00:30:39,204 --> 00:30:43,308
Drew McIntyre thought
he had the world championship won

470
00:30:43,374 --> 00:30:46,878
before Rollins kicked out of a Claymore.

471
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:51,182
[Wade] Both men thought they were home
and dry already in this one,

472
00:30:51,249 --> 00:30:54,686
but the championship, still up for grabs.

473
00:30:54,752 --> 00:30:57,922
Drew needs to go in for the kill
and make it fast.

474
00:30:57,989 --> 00:31:00,692
[Cole] McIntyre understands that,
he realizes it.

475
00:31:00,758 --> 00:31:04,662
Now he's begging for Rollins
to make it back to his feet yet again.

476
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:07,832
Again, in position,
and a kick to the face by Rollins.

477
00:31:07,899 --> 00:31:10,368
-[Wade] Caught twice.
-[Cole] Miss with the Claymore!

478
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:15,139
Rollins counters with a Pedigree!

479
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:18,543
And a stomp!

480
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:22,814
A Pedigree and a stomp!

481
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,918
Rollins into the cover to try to retain
the World Heavyweight Title!

482
00:31:26,985 --> 00:31:30,955
-Got it! Seth Rollins retains!
-[bell dings]

483
00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:37,161
[announcer] Here is your winner,
and still World Heavyweight Champion,

484
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:40,064
Seth "Freaking" Rollins!

485
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:43,034
[Cole] What a battle!

486
00:31:43,101 --> 00:31:45,036
What a hell of a battle!

487
00:31:45,103 --> 00:31:49,374
The fighting champion,
the working man's champion,

488
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,876
Seth Rollins retains!

489
00:31:51,943 --> 00:31:55,580
[Wade] Epic matchup.
Just a pair of class acts.

490
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:57,649
But if you're Drew McIntyre,

491
00:31:57,715 --> 00:32:00,118
you must be thinking
to yourself right now,

492
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:02,954
"How the hell did I lose that one?

493
00:32:03,021 --> 00:32:07,525
And why on earth did I not accept
Judgment Day's offer

494
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:09,460
when it was there on a plate for me?"

495
00:32:09,527 --> 00:32:15,700
[Cole] Well, a dejected McIntyre,
almost wondering in disbelief

496
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:19,737
after Seth Rollins countered
the attempted Claymore.

497
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:24,909
[Wade] Counter for counter,
these two went back and forth,

498
00:32:24,976 --> 00:32:31,249

to Drew McIntyre after a Pedigree,

in this matchup that got the job done.

a little bit differently from now on.

[Cole] Well, my question to you, Wade,
is Rhea ripe for the picking tonight,

653
00:44:34,405 --> 00:44:38,308
because she's been pulled in
so many different directions as of late.

at all come into play in this matchup.

I think Rhea Ripley
can handle all of that.

What, perhaps, she can't handle
is the nature of this matchup.

away from Rhea Ripley.

But a 5-Way matchup
with no championship advantage,

662
00:45:04,168 --> 00:45:08,505

from bell to bell,

as we have ever seen her.

00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:14,945
[Cole] Twenty percent chance
to keep the championship

665
00:45:15,012 --> 00:45:16,747
in this Fatal 5-Way matchup,

666
00:45:16,814 --> 00:45:19,383
where first woman
to gain pinfall or submission

667
00:45:19,450 --> 00:45:21,118
will become the World Champion.

668
00:45:21,185 --> 00:45:23,320
This is just an example
here tonight, Wade,

669
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:26,957
of the strength of the women's division,
not only on Monday Night RAW,

670
00:45:27,024 --> 00:45:28,425
but Friday Night SmackDown.

671
00:45:28,492 --> 00:45:30,294
Later tonight, we see IYO SKY

672
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,830
and Bianca Belair
battle for the WWE Championship.

673
00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:37,000
NXT with their new Women's Champion,
Lyra Valkyria, and of course,

674
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:41,271
Lola Vice, who won the NXT Women's
Breakout Tournament this past Tuesday.

675
00:45:41,338 --> 00:45:44,675
Women's wrestling
has never been hotter in WWE.

676
00:45:44,741 --> 00:45:49,646
[Wade] There's never been anything
in the history of our entire industry

677
00:45:50,681 --> 00:45:56,220
where we've seen this accumulation
of alpha females in sports entertainment.

678
00:45:56,286 --> 00:46:01,058
It truly is the halcyon days
for the women's division,

679
00:46:01,125 --> 00:46:03,193
which is going from strength to strength,

680
00:46:03,260 --> 00:46:06,163
and we're about to find out
who the baddest of them all is.

681
00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:09,133
[Cole] And let's not forget
the wild card in the lot of this,

682
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:12,069
the free agent Jade Cargill,
who recently signed with WWE.

683
00:46:12,136 --> 00:46:13,804
Where does she fit into this mix?

684
00:46:13,871 --> 00:46:16,774
It's gonna be interesting to find out
in the weeks to come.

685
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,343
So, this is for
the Women's World Championship.

686
00:46:19,409 --> 00:46:23,447
Ripley defending against
Rodriguez, Baszler, Jackson, Stark.

687
00:46:23,514 --> 00:46:25,449
Fatal 5-Way rules.

688
00:46:25,516 --> 00:46:27,918
[Wade] Well, Riyadh saw
one Battle of the Baddest

689
00:46:27,985 --> 00:46:29,620
with Tyson Fury last week.

690
00:46:29,686 --> 00:46:34,324
That was just the appetizer.
This is the main course.

691
00:46:34,391 --> 00:46:36,994
[Cole] That battle took place
right down the street

692
00:46:37,060 --> 00:46:40,063
from where we are here tonight
as part of Riyadh Season.

693
00:46:41,965 --> 00:46:44,668
And here we go. Matchup underway.

694
00:46:44,735 --> 00:46:48,138
Ripley, again, has had the championship
since WrestleMania.

695
00:46:48,205 --> 00:46:52,309
And Nia Jax, realizing that
she is probably gonna be the target

696
00:46:52,376 --> 00:46:55,812
of all four women. Your hair
looks great, Nia. It looks great, yeah.

697
00:46:55,879 --> 00:46:58,782
You're gonna tell her
whatever she wants to hear, right?

698
00:46:58,849 --> 00:47:01,351
-[Cole] Of course I am. Meanwhile,
-[Wade] I don't blame you.

699
00:47:01,418 --> 00:47:05,722
[Cole] Zoey Stark going
for the first pinfall on Rhea Ripley.

700
00:47:05,789 --> 00:47:08,058
Now, Shayna Baszler
trying her fair as well.

701
00:47:08,125 --> 00:47:11,728
The champ does not have to be involved
in the decision to lose the title,

702
00:47:11,795 --> 00:47:13,964
but it would be
a great feather in your cap

703
00:47:14,031 --> 00:47:15,699
to pin the champion in this match.

704
00:47:15,766 --> 00:47:18,535
[Wade] Well, we're about
to find out who is the baddest.

705
00:47:18,602 --> 00:47:20,404
[Cole] Nia continuing to--

706
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:24,107
[Wade] But I'll tell you point blank
who's the smartest, and that is Nia Jax.

707
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:28,078
Let the other four women wear themselves
out and then go in and pick the bones.

708
00:47:28,145 --> 00:47:33,517
[Cole] Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler
who have developed a team as of late.

709
00:47:33,584 --> 00:47:36,386
It doesn't matter 'cause it's every woman
for herself in this matchup.

710
00:47:36,453 --> 00:47:37,888
And now, Nia Jax...

711
00:47:39,590 --> 00:47:42,192
just dragging
Raquel Rodriguez out of the ring.

712
00:47:42,259 --> 00:47:43,560
And remember, Wade,

713
00:47:43,627 --> 00:47:47,130
Nia cost Raquel
a couple of weeks of her career.

714
00:47:48,198 --> 00:47:50,234
[Wade] Nia Jax has already squashed

715
00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:52,703
all four women
in this match at some point.

716
00:47:52,769 --> 00:47:56,306
[Cole] And now,
Rhea Ripley with a kick to Nia Jax.

717
00:47:56,373 --> 00:47:59,409
And Nia! Ripley face-first on the apron.

718
00:47:59,476 --> 00:48:03,347
[Wade] Nia looking as nimble
as we've ever seen her.

719
00:48:03,413 --> 00:48:06,884
[Cole] Yeah, now Nia Jax
with a right-hand, flooring Baszler.

720
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:09,586
And now, the powerslam to Zoey Stark.

721
00:48:09,653 --> 00:48:13,790
[Wade] You can have no answer
to that level of power from Nia Jax.

722
00:48:13,857 --> 00:48:16,727
[Cole] And a waist lock now
by Shayna Baszler.

723
00:48:16,793 --> 00:48:19,196
It looked like she might have been going
for a German suplex.

724
00:48:19,263 --> 00:48:20,931
Rhea, though, with a headbutt.

725
00:48:20,998 --> 00:48:22,032
[grunting]

726
00:48:22,099 --> 00:48:26,370
[Cole] And now, Raquel Rodriguez
helps Baszler with said suplex.

727
00:48:29,539 --> 00:48:31,875
[Wade] Sometimes in life, it does not pay

728
00:48:31,942 --> 00:48:35,212
to be an unpopular personality
like Nia Jax.

729
00:48:35,279 --> 00:48:37,881
[Cole] Nia's been taken out
of the equation at least momentarily.

730
00:48:37,948 --> 00:48:39,516
And now Raquel and Baszler,

731
00:48:39,583 --> 00:48:42,920
and Zoey Stark and Rhea Ripley
go at one another.

732
00:48:42,986 --> 00:48:44,388
[grunting]

733
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:48,959
[Cole] Is there any strategy
in this type of match?

734
00:48:49,026 --> 00:48:51,328
[Wade] Watch your back at all times
and hope for the best.

735
00:48:51,395 --> 00:48:55,599
[Cole] No disqualifications. No countouts.
Big clothesline by Rodriguez.

736
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:57,768
[Wade] For my money, the biggest,

737
00:48:57,834 --> 00:49:01,338
the strongest, for sure, in this matchup
has to be Rodriguez.

738
00:49:01,405 --> 00:49:04,608
[Cole] Raquel with a beautiful powerslam

739
00:49:04,675 --> 00:49:08,312
and now, just taking out
Shayna Baszler as well.

740
00:49:08,378 --> 00:49:11,682
[Wade] A woman who has had
a gold-laden career through NXT

741
00:49:11,748 --> 00:49:14,718
and, indeed, here
at RAW and SmackDown.

742
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:17,554
Still yet to win the big one.
Gets her chance tonight.

743
00:49:17,621 --> 00:49:20,857
[Cole] Raquel was going
for the Tejana Bomb on Rhea Ripley

744
00:49:20,924 --> 00:49:23,160
who was able to counter,
and now, Zoey Stark.

745
00:49:24,227 --> 00:49:25,529
Again, I mentioned earlier,

746
00:49:25,595 --> 00:49:31,168
Zoey, no-nonsense, intense.
Not here to mess around.

747
00:49:31,234 --> 00:49:33,804
And now, Rhea Ripley
with Baszler driven to the mat.

748
00:49:36,540 --> 00:49:38,208
This is my championship!

749
00:49:38,275 --> 00:49:41,945
[Wade] Mami looking pretty dominant
in the early goings here,

750
00:49:42,012 --> 00:49:45,282
but don't count your chickens
too early.

751
00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:49,686
[Cole] The Eradicator, face-to-face
with The Irresistible Force.

752
00:49:51,488 --> 00:49:52,689
[Nia] What?

753
00:49:52,756 --> 00:49:55,759
[Wade] Two women
with "queen of the jungle" mindsets.

754
00:49:55,826 --> 00:49:59,229
[Cole] And you mentioned it earlier
when Nia Jax arrived on the scene,

755
00:49:59,296 --> 00:50:01,398
she went right after Rhea Ripley,

756
00:50:01,465 --> 00:50:03,600
The Annihilator, from the second rope,

757
00:50:03,667 --> 00:50:05,969
bruised Rhea's ribs,
cost her a couple of weeks of action.

758
00:50:06,036 --> 00:50:09,272
-Yeah, talking claims about--
-[Cole] Look at the power now of Ripley!

759
00:50:09,339 --> 00:50:11,742
[Wade] Crazy Rhea,
I don't think so, not tonight.

760
00:50:11,808 --> 00:50:15,412
[Cole] That kick, though,
drives Nia back toward the ropes.

761
00:50:15,479 --> 00:50:19,316
And now, Nia with a Thesz Press.
And now, pounding away on Ripley.

762
00:50:20,384 --> 00:50:23,286
[Wade] Just no way
out of that kind of offense.

763
00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:26,957
No competitor is built for it.

764
00:50:28,024 --> 00:50:31,194
[Cole] Nia Jax's leg drop to the champion.

765
00:50:31,261 --> 00:50:33,730
Cover now, to try to win the world title.

766
00:50:34,798 --> 00:50:37,300
And that's Zoey Stark breaking it up.

767
00:50:37,367 --> 00:50:40,771
[Wade] The rank outsider
looking to make her mark.

768
00:50:40,837 --> 00:50:42,839
Looking to prove to the world

769
00:50:42,906 --> 00:50:45,208
that she is the true huntress
in this division.

770
00:50:45,275 --> 00:50:47,377
[Cole] So many people you talked to, Wade,

771
00:50:47,444 --> 00:50:49,813
said that Zoey Stark
will be a champion one day.

772
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:50,881
Oh, goodness!

773
00:50:50,947 --> 00:50:55,318
[Wade] Yeah, fierce levels of aggression
and ludicrous athleticism.

774
00:50:57,220 --> 00:50:59,489
Zoey Stark, I've been nothing
but impressed,

775
00:50:59,556 --> 00:51:02,192
but technique coming out of her ears,

776
00:51:02,259 --> 00:51:04,895
that is the nature of Baszler's game plan.

777
00:51:04,961 --> 00:51:07,597
[Cole] Shayna Baszler,
The Submission Magician.

778
00:51:07,664 --> 00:51:10,367
Will she get Raquel to tap out?

779
00:51:10,434 --> 00:51:15,439
Able to now trap both Raquel
and Rhea Ripley in submission holds.

780
00:51:16,573 --> 00:51:18,308
Is Rhea gonna tap?

781
00:51:18,375 --> 00:51:21,178
Nia Jax, now, wrestled down to the mat.

782
00:51:21,244 --> 00:51:23,647
Kirifuda Clutch locked in on Jax.

783
00:51:23,713 --> 00:51:27,484
Three submission holds applied
at the same time by Shayna Baszler.

784
00:51:27,551 --> 00:51:30,120
[Wade] Unfortunately,
Baszler's running out of limbs,

785
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:32,756
otherwise Zoey Stark
will be added to this pile.

786
00:51:34,357 --> 00:51:38,395
[Cole] Who is gonna tap?
If anybody taps, Baszler's the champion.

787
00:51:38,462 --> 00:51:40,163
It doesn't matter who.

788
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:43,233
[Wade] Just an exhibition in atrocity

789
00:51:43,300 --> 00:51:46,436
from Shayna Baszler
who has to be getting close.

790
00:51:46,503 --> 00:51:49,239
This referee
needs to be checking on Nia Jax.

791
00:51:49,306 --> 00:51:53,243
[Cole] Nia Jax may be out,
but Zoey Stark will break things up.

792
00:51:54,444 --> 00:51:57,180
Cover now by Stark for the win.

793
00:51:57,247 --> 00:51:59,149
And a kick-out by Baszler.

794
00:51:59,216 --> 00:52:00,584
[Wade] Oh, three of those women

795
00:52:00,650 --> 00:52:03,086
were in those torturous holds
for a long time.

796
00:52:03,153 --> 00:52:04,855
How much has it taken out of them?

797
00:52:04,921 --> 00:52:07,190
[Cole] Now Raquel Rodriguez
sent down hard.

798
00:52:07,257 --> 00:52:08,525
[roars]

799
00:52:08,592 --> 00:52:11,661
Will this be Zoey Stark's moment?

800
00:52:12,896 --> 00:52:15,765
[Wade] Claims to be the baddest
just go out of the window.

801
00:52:15,832 --> 00:52:21,438
The proof in the pudding
is that Women's World Championship.

802
00:52:21,505 --> 00:52:24,274
The holder supersedes all other claims

803
00:52:24,341 --> 00:52:27,644
and right now,
that holder is Rhea Ripley.

804
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:31,481
[Cole] Rhea up the second rope.

805
00:52:31,548 --> 00:52:33,617
Exchanging blows with Stark.

806
00:52:33,683 --> 00:52:35,852
[both grunting]

807
00:52:39,322 --> 00:52:43,326
[Cole] Raquel Rodriguez
up to the second rope as well,

808
00:52:43,393 --> 00:52:45,695
looking in the eyes of the champion.

809
00:52:45,762 --> 00:52:49,633
Now, perhaps, working
together with Rhea Ripley.

810
00:52:49,699 --> 00:52:51,301
Stark able to hang on.

811
00:52:51,368 --> 00:52:54,538
[Wade] Wiggling her way
out of that one in desperation.

812
00:52:54,604 --> 00:52:57,741
-[Cole] Now Shayna Baszler into the mix.
-[Wade] Well, added momentum.

813
00:52:59,009 --> 00:53:02,913
[Cole] Tremendous superplex.
Everybody's down.

814
00:53:04,014 --> 00:53:07,918
[Wade] Just a car crash scene
in the middle of that ring,

815
00:53:07,984 --> 00:53:10,754
and who is here to capitalize?

816
00:53:10,820 --> 00:53:12,756
[Cole] Nia Jax with the opportunity.

817
00:53:13,723 --> 00:53:15,525
Baszler with a running knee.

818
00:53:18,228 --> 00:53:19,863
Again, watch that.

819
00:53:21,298 --> 00:53:24,634
Nia Jax, splash in the corner to Baszler.

820
00:53:24,701 --> 00:53:28,238
[Wade] I have to think speed is
of the essence in this kind of matchup.

821
00:53:28,305 --> 00:53:30,974
You're only gonna get
a very short window

822
00:53:31,041 --> 00:53:32,509
with this caliber of woman.

823
00:53:32,576 --> 00:53:35,111
[Cole] Nia, now, second rope,
going for the Annihilator.

824
00:53:35,178 --> 00:53:39,015
Rhea Ripley, though,
with a kick to the hamstring of Jax.

825
00:53:39,082 --> 00:53:41,351
[Wade] Could've tore her ACL
on that landing.

826
00:53:41,418 --> 00:53:44,554
[Cole] And now Raquel,
there's that corkscrew elbow

827
00:53:44,621 --> 00:53:48,124
off the second rope, cover.
Rhea Ripley won't let it happen.

828
00:53:50,727 --> 00:53:53,463
These two women
who know each other so well.

829
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:55,198
Raquel knocked off Rhea Ripley

830
00:53:55,265 --> 00:53:59,135
in the Last Woman Standing Match,
2021, NXT.

831
00:53:59,202 --> 00:54:01,171
Ripley's last match at NXT.

832
00:54:01,238 --> 00:54:03,173
[Wade] Former best friends
and training partners.

833
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:05,075
Feels like a long time ago, though.

834
00:54:09,713 --> 00:54:11,948
[Cole] And for the moment,
it's come down to this.

835
00:54:13,183 --> 00:54:16,252
Perhaps the two most powerful women

836
00:54:16,319 --> 00:54:17,954
on Monday Night RAW.

837
00:54:18,021 --> 00:54:21,258
Both women down off the collision.

838
00:54:21,324 --> 00:54:23,360
[crowd cheering, applauding]

839
00:54:28,198 --> 00:54:33,036
Watch this and the impact
of Ripley and Rodriguez.

840
00:54:33,103 --> 00:54:37,774
[Wade] Two formidable ladies refusing
to take a step back.

841
00:54:37,841 --> 00:54:40,443
And they've got eyes locked
on one another.

842
00:54:41,478 --> 00:54:43,747
These women so proud.

843
00:54:43,813 --> 00:54:45,148
[Cole] Stark.

844
00:54:46,316 --> 00:54:48,051
[Wade] Once again, the dark horse,

845
00:54:48,118 --> 00:54:51,288
the one nobody's watching for.
That's the issue.

846
00:54:51,354 --> 00:54:53,990
Rhea and Raquel obsessed with one another

847
00:54:54,057 --> 00:54:55,992
and took their eye off the prize.

848
00:54:57,894 --> 00:55:00,664
[Cole] Stark, top rope, leap.

849
00:55:00,730 --> 00:55:03,199
Taking out Rodriguez and Ripley.

850
00:55:03,266 --> 00:55:05,468
[Wade] Took out our cameraman
at the same time.

851
00:55:08,972 --> 00:55:10,940
[Cole] Zoey, favoring the knee.

852
00:55:12,242 --> 00:55:13,510
Where's that knee brace?

853
00:55:14,611 --> 00:55:17,881
[Wade] As ambitious as they come.
Make your dreams come true.

854
00:55:17,947 --> 00:55:21,117
[Cole] Missile drop kick off the top rope.
Rhea Ripley down.

855
00:55:21,184 --> 00:55:23,119
Stark now.

856
00:55:23,186 --> 00:55:26,289
Z-360 catches Rhea, for the win.

857
00:55:26,356 --> 00:55:29,693
And the championship,
Nia Jax breaks it up.

858
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:33,663
[Wade] A punt to the jaw
of Zoey Stark was all it took.

859
00:55:34,931 --> 00:55:39,135
A millisecond away
from Stark winning gold.

860
00:55:42,972 --> 00:55:46,376
[Cole] And now, the power of Jax.
Headbutt to Stark, down goes Zoey.

861
00:55:46,443 --> 00:55:50,180
[Wade] Stark getting
effortlessly ragdolled around the ring...

862
00:55:52,248 --> 00:55:55,452
by Nia Jax who now looks
fresh as a daisy.

863
00:55:59,422 --> 00:56:02,125
[Cole] Nia, second rope,
was going for the Annihilator.

864
00:56:02,192 --> 00:56:05,028
Raquel Rodriguez, though,
with a blow to the spine.

865
00:56:05,095 --> 00:56:07,497
And now Raquel, you gotta be kidding me.

866
00:56:07,564 --> 00:56:12,335
No way, Raquel Rodriguez with Nia Jax up.

867
00:56:12,402 --> 00:56:14,904
Went for a Tejana Bomb, planting Nia.

868
00:56:14,971 --> 00:56:16,840
Cover, stacks her up.

869
00:56:16,906 --> 00:56:20,477
And saving her championship
was Rhea Ripley.

870
00:56:20,543 --> 00:56:23,012
[Wade] Jax was clinging on for dear life.

871
00:56:23,079 --> 00:56:26,750
But that raw power of
Raquel Rodriguez is something else.

872
00:56:26,816 --> 00:56:29,719
[Cole] And now, Rhea
setting up Raquel for Riptide.

873
00:56:29,786 --> 00:56:31,755
Shayna Baszler from behind.

874
00:56:31,821 --> 00:56:33,790
Kirifuda locked in on the champion.

875
00:56:33,857 --> 00:56:37,193
[Wade] Yeah, locked in deep too.
No rope breaks in a matchup like this.

876
00:56:37,260 --> 00:56:39,229
[Cole] Yeah, 'cause
there's no disqualifications.

877
00:56:39,295 --> 00:56:42,532
Rhea Ripley trying to fight out
of the Kirifuda by Shayna Baszler.

878
00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:44,100
[Wade] And the Champ was fading.

879
00:56:44,167 --> 00:56:46,903
[Cole] Raquel Rodriguez,
though, with a boot to Baszler.

880
00:56:46,970 --> 00:56:48,972
Headbutt from Ripley.

881
00:56:51,641 --> 00:56:54,411
And now Rhea setting up Shayna Baszler...

882
00:56:55,645 --> 00:56:57,413
for Riptide.

883
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,083
[Wade] Deadlift Riptide,
that has to be it.

884
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:04,053
[Cole] It's cover by Rhea.
Zoey Stark breaks things up.

885
00:57:07,991 --> 00:57:11,327
[Wade] Hats off to Zoey Stark,
completely undaunted

886
00:57:11,394 --> 00:57:15,165
by the bigger resumes
of everyone else in this matchup.

887
00:57:15,231 --> 00:57:17,233
She believes this is her time.

888
00:57:18,201 --> 00:57:20,136
[Cole] Now, with Rhea
perched on the top rope,

889
00:57:20,203 --> 00:57:21,304
Zoey Stark up to meet her.

890
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:25,308
Headbutts from Rhea.

891
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:30,213
Rhea now...

892
00:57:31,781 --> 00:57:34,150
feet on the second rope,

893
00:57:34,217 --> 00:57:35,819
covered by Raquel,

894
00:57:35,885 --> 00:57:38,655
and a Riptide on top of Raquel

895
00:57:38,721 --> 00:57:40,223
by Rhea Ripley.

896
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:42,292
-Cover on Baszler.
-[crowd] One, two, three.

897
00:57:42,358 --> 00:57:44,461
-Ripley will retain.
-[bell dings]

898
00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:51,968
[Rome] The winner
and still Women's World Champion,

899
00:57:52,035 --> 00:57:55,538
Rhea Ripley.

900
00:57:55,605 --> 00:57:59,042
[Cole] With just a 20% chance to retain,

901
00:57:59,108 --> 00:58:05,982
Rhea Ripley bucks the odds
and retains the World Championship.

902
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:08,218
The unstoppable Eradicator.

903
00:58:09,352 --> 00:58:13,923
[Wade] Innate championship material
right there from Rhea Ripley.

904
00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:16,226
You spot your one opportunity

905
00:58:16,292 --> 00:58:20,530
and you do whatever you can
to take it by hook or by crook.

906
00:58:22,298 --> 00:58:25,735
Taking out the entire pile with a Riptide

907
00:58:25,802 --> 00:58:29,806
and pinning the woman
who got the worst of it, Shayna Baszler.

908
00:58:29,873 --> 00:58:33,509
Exemplifies what it means to be

909
00:58:33,576 --> 00:58:37,080
the superlative baddest in this game.

910
00:58:37,146 --> 00:58:40,016
Congratulations, Rhea Ripley.

911
00:58:41,417 --> 00:58:46,656
[Cole] Rhea Ripley continues
to defy all odds.

912
00:58:46,723 --> 00:58:51,895
Rhea Ripley retains
the Women's World Championship.

913
00:59:02,572 --> 00:59:04,040
Who's dominant?

914
00:59:04,107 --> 00:59:08,511
Mami's dominant! Ha-ha!
Mami's always on top!

915
00:59:08,578 --> 00:59:10,313
I told ya!

916
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:12,081
Yeah!

917
00:59:15,285 --> 00:59:17,186
[Cole] The Crown Jewel action
is not stopping

918
00:59:17,253 --> 00:59:19,589
when we return
with "The Greatest Of All Time,"

919
00:59:19,656 --> 00:59:23,326
John Cena takes on
The Bloodline Enforcer, Solo Sikoa.

920
00:59:23,393 --> 00:59:27,363
Members of the WWE Universe
subscribing to Peacock Premium Plus.

921
00:59:27,430 --> 00:59:30,199
Let's take a look
at where this story started.

922
00:59:35,972 --> 00:59:37,707
[crowd chanting] Cena! Cena! Cena!

923
00:59:37,774 --> 00:59:40,443
Ladies and gentlemen,

924
00:59:40,510 --> 00:59:45,048
the Greatest of All Time,

925
00:59:45,114 --> 00:59:47,650
John

926
00:59:47,717 --> 00:59:52,121
Cena!

927
00:59:52,188 --> 00:59:56,693
[Tom] What a reception
for the 16-time World Champion.

928
00:59:56,759 --> 01:00:00,530
[Cole] John Cena is back in action
at Crown Jewel.

929
01:00:00,596 --> 01:00:05,001
Can The Greatest of All Time topple
one of the most dangerous men

930
01:00:05,068 --> 01:00:10,840
in the game today,
the Enforcer of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa?

931
01:00:10,907 --> 01:00:14,877
The reason that Crown Jewel
is so serious to me

932
01:00:14,944 --> 01:00:17,847
is because for the first time in 20 years,

933
01:00:17,914 --> 01:00:21,217
I feel I'm in jeopardy
of losing your support.

934
01:00:22,919 --> 01:00:25,655
It's been 2,000 days

935
01:00:25,722 --> 01:00:29,859
since I last won
a televised singles match.

936
01:00:29,926 --> 01:00:32,729
My last win was in 2018.

937
01:00:34,097 --> 01:00:38,201
So, uh, I've been talking
a whole lot about retirement.

938
01:00:38,267 --> 01:00:40,970
[crowd cheering]

939
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:43,940
[crowd chanting] We support you.

940
01:00:48,878 --> 01:00:51,147
Yeah, but damn it, I believe in me.

941
01:00:51,214 --> 01:00:53,549
I believe in you. I believe in us.

942
01:00:53,616 --> 01:00:57,820
[cheers and applause]

943
01:00:57,887 --> 01:01:03,726
So there is only one thing left
to do at Crown Jewel...

944
01:01:03,793 --> 01:01:04,794
Win.

945
01:01:07,663 --> 01:01:09,766
Ladies and gentlemen...

946
01:01:09,832 --> 01:01:11,934
[crowd booing]

947
01:01:12,001 --> 01:01:13,803
...with all due respect,

948
01:01:13,870 --> 01:01:17,140
you're not The Greatest of All Time
in the ring anymore.

949
01:01:17,206 --> 01:01:21,911
But that's not a bad thing.
You have a bond with them.

950
01:01:21,978 --> 01:01:24,313
For 21 years,
you've been a real-life superhero,

951
01:01:24,380 --> 01:01:27,784
and what a future
you could have had just talking

952
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:31,320
until you pissed off The Bloodline.

953
01:01:32,388 --> 01:01:38,061
Solo hits you with that Spike,
and then you can't talk anymore, John.

954
01:01:38,127 --> 01:01:39,328
Spike!

955
01:01:39,395 --> 01:01:42,498
Solo takes that away from you,

956
01:01:42,565 --> 01:01:45,835
and The Bloodline takes you away

957
01:01:45,902 --> 01:01:49,138
from your WWE Universe.

958
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:56,746
And John Cena, that's not a prediction.

959
01:01:56,813 --> 01:01:59,248
That's a spoiler.

960
01:02:00,316 --> 01:02:01,851
-[Cole] Solo!
-What?

961
01:02:01,918 --> 01:02:05,655
[Cole] Heyman suckered him in,
and Solo Sikoa struck.

962
01:02:12,662 --> 01:02:14,597
Samoan Spike!

963
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:20,036
[Tom] A calculated trap
set by Paul Heyman.

964
01:02:23,106 --> 01:02:25,108
Oh, John!

965
01:02:29,278 --> 01:02:34,750
We came here to talk
to John Cena face-to-face.

966
01:02:34,817 --> 01:02:38,821
I got orders from The Tribal Chief
to give you this microphone

967
01:02:38,888 --> 01:02:42,725
so you can say goodbye
while you still can.

968
01:02:44,026 --> 01:02:48,064
Do me a solid, Solo.
Tape your thumb up extra tight,

969
01:02:48,131 --> 01:02:51,634
'cause the only place that's getting stuck
is straight up your ass.

970
01:02:51,701 --> 01:02:56,239
[Cole] The Raspy Boys'
John Cena is in a mood

971
01:02:56,305 --> 01:02:58,741
as he heads to Crown Jewel.

972
01:02:58,808 --> 01:03:02,278
[crowd chanting] Cena! Cena! Cena!

973
01:03:04,013 --> 01:03:06,149
[cheers and applause]

974
01:03:07,650 --> 01:03:11,420
["Taking It All" by def rebel playing]

975
01:03:17,894 --> 01:03:20,296
[song continues]

976
01:03:23,666 --> 01:03:25,801
[loud cheering]

977
01:03:29,038 --> 01:03:30,139
[bell dings]

978
01:03:30,206 --> 01:03:33,075
[Rome] The following contest
is set for one-fall.

979
01:03:33,142 --> 01:03:36,245
Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada,

980
01:03:36,312 --> 01:03:39,382
weighing 250 pounds,

981
01:03:39,448 --> 01:03:44,053
Solo Sikoa!

982
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,357
[Cole] This is the biggest match
in the WWE career

983
01:03:48,424 --> 01:03:51,194
of the Enforcer of The Bloodline,
Solo Sikoa.

984
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:55,598
He becomes the fifth man in WWE history

985
01:03:55,665 --> 01:03:58,100
to have his singles match debut

986
01:03:58,167 --> 01:04:02,705
at a premium live event against
"The Greatest Of All Time" John Cena.

987
01:04:02,772 --> 01:04:07,476
Another one of those men sits to my right,
Wade Barrett, who in 2010

988
01:04:07,543 --> 01:04:09,745
had his first premium live event match,

989
01:04:09,812 --> 01:04:12,748
singles match,
in Hell in a Cell against John Cena.

990
01:04:12,815 --> 01:04:15,685
So, Wade, with that in mind,
what is Solo Sikoa thinking

991
01:04:15,751 --> 01:04:19,722
as he walks down to the ring now,
getting prepared to take on Cena?

992
01:04:19,789 --> 01:04:23,326
[Wade] Well, the problem is,
I can't get inside the head of Solo Sikoa.

993
01:04:23,392 --> 01:04:25,795
He doesn't think or act
like a normal human being.

994
01:04:25,861 --> 01:04:27,029
I'll tell you point blank.

995
01:04:27,096 --> 01:04:30,800
Me, back then, I was terrified,
wracked with nerves.

996
01:04:33,636 --> 01:04:37,039
Somehow, I did end up
winning that particular match.

997
01:04:37,106 --> 01:04:39,642
Thanks to a little assistance
from a good friend of mine,

998
01:04:39,709 --> 01:04:43,446
Husky Harris, who we all miss very dearly.

999
01:04:43,512 --> 01:04:46,616
[Cole] And there you see
the wrapped thumb of Solo Sikoa,

1000
01:04:46,682 --> 01:04:51,420
the Samoan Spike, which could
come into play tonight against Cena.

1001
01:04:51,487 --> 01:04:54,523
[Wade] That's the path to victory
for Solo Sikoa.

1002
01:04:54,590 --> 01:04:57,460
Undoubtedly, the playbook is obvious.

1003
01:04:57,526 --> 01:05:00,396
[crowd chanting] Cena!

1004
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:07,003
[John Cena's theme song playing]

1005
01:05:13,809 --> 01:05:17,513
[cheers and applause]

1006
01:05:17,580 --> 01:05:20,549
[crowd singing]

1007
01:05:23,919 --> 01:05:26,756
We got a good group out here tonight.
We got a good group.

1008
01:05:30,793 --> 01:05:33,996
[crowd continues singing]

1009
01:05:39,535 --> 01:05:40,536
All right.

1010
01:05:43,105 --> 01:05:45,474
It's been a long road.
Let's turn the map around.

1011
01:05:45,541 --> 01:05:46,542
Let's go to work.

1012
01:05:49,011 --> 01:05:51,580
[Rome] His opponent,
from West Newbury, Massachusetts,

1013
01:05:51,647 --> 01:05:54,383
weighing 251 pounds,

1014
01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:58,854
he is "The Greatest Of All Time"

1015
01:05:58,921 --> 01:06:04,327
John Cena!

1016
01:06:09,565 --> 01:06:13,636
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen,
the last time that John Cena

1017
01:06:13,703 --> 01:06:19,275
won a singles match here
in WWE was five years ago.

1018
01:06:19,342 --> 01:06:21,077
It was 2018.

1019
01:06:21,143 --> 01:06:23,746
[cheers and applause]

1020
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:29,151
Right here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
when he defeated "The Game" Triple H.

1021
01:06:29,218 --> 01:06:33,389
It has been 2,017 days

1022
01:06:33,456 --> 01:06:36,625
since John Cena has won
a one-on-one matchup.

1023
01:06:36,692 --> 01:06:40,229
And Wade, John Cena,
has put so much pressure

1024
01:06:40,296 --> 01:06:44,300
on himself in this match,
calling it a must-win.

1025
01:06:44,367 --> 01:06:46,535
"I need to silence myself doubt."

1026
01:06:46,602 --> 01:06:50,639
[Wade] Yeah, and he's already told us
he's contemplated retirement

1027
01:06:50,706 --> 01:06:53,843
but wants to prove
he can still hold his own

1028
01:06:53,909 --> 01:06:56,412
with the current crop of Superstars.

1029
01:06:56,479 --> 01:06:59,882
[crowd chanting] Cena!

1030
01:06:59,949 --> 01:07:03,085
[Cole] John Cena on Corey Graves'
After the Bell podcast,

1031
01:07:03,152 --> 01:07:08,090
very candid about his time
here in WWE, about giving back,

1032
01:07:08,157 --> 01:07:12,428
about visiting NXT to work
with the young Superstars of today.

1033
01:07:12,495 --> 01:07:15,598
When he was asked about
being called the greatest of all time,

1034
01:07:15,664 --> 01:07:18,768
John said, "That's not my opinion."

1035
01:07:18,834 --> 01:07:21,537
However, I do believe that.

1036
01:07:21,604 --> 01:07:26,709
Cena, Sikoa, underway here tonight
at Crown Jewel.

1037
01:07:26,776 --> 01:07:30,413
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!

1038
01:07:35,217 --> 01:07:38,487
[Cole] Cena, waist lock
into a headlock takedown.

1039
01:07:38,554 --> 01:07:41,023
Now, let's make no mistake about it, Wade.

1040
01:07:41,090 --> 01:07:42,958
Solo Sikoa has his marching orders.

1041
01:07:43,025 --> 01:07:46,429
He's been told
by "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns,

1042
01:07:46,495 --> 01:07:49,131
to come out here tonight
and take out John Cena

1043
01:07:49,198 --> 01:07:52,134
for Cena sticking his nose
in the business of The Bloodline.

1044
01:07:52,201 --> 01:07:56,205
[Wade] We've got loyal soldier
and loyal enforcer from day one,

1045
01:07:56,272 --> 01:08:00,543
and immediately,
you see John Cena attacking that hand,

1046
01:08:00,609 --> 01:08:03,212
perhaps the thumb of Solo Sikoa.

1047
01:08:03,279 --> 01:08:05,214
He knows what the biggest threat
in this matchup,

1048
01:08:05,281 --> 01:08:06,782
and he's trying to take it out early.

1049
01:08:06,849 --> 01:08:09,518
[Cole] Well, John Cena suffered
the Samoan Spike

1050
01:08:09,585 --> 01:08:12,288
a couple of weeks ago,
last night on Friday Night SmackDown,

1051
01:08:12,354 --> 01:08:13,422
you may have seen it.

1052
01:08:13,489 --> 01:08:15,724
John Cena, with a very raspy voice

1053
01:08:15,791 --> 01:08:19,295
because of what the Spike did.
Cover, kick-out by Solo Sikoa.

1054
01:08:19,361 --> 01:08:21,130
And Paul Heyman has said it as well.

1055
01:08:21,197 --> 01:08:23,265
You take, you use the Spike,

1056
01:08:23,332 --> 01:08:26,769
you can take away the most valuable asset
in John Cena's game,

1057
01:08:26,836 --> 01:08:29,205
and that is his voice.

1058
01:08:29,271 --> 01:08:32,475
[Wade] How can you be a movie star
if you can't speak, Cole?

1059
01:08:32,541 --> 01:08:35,644
Are you gonna make
a Charlie Chaplin movie?

1060
01:08:35,711 --> 01:08:37,847
I don't know if that's gonna work
in this day and age,

1061
01:08:37,913 --> 01:08:42,551
as Cena, of course, strategically
smart right out of the gates.

1062
01:08:42,618 --> 01:08:46,522
[Cole] Trying to break, perhaps,
the thumb of Solo Sikoa.

1063
01:08:53,162 --> 01:08:56,131
Cena looking to wear down Solo.

1064
01:08:57,633 --> 01:09:00,936
20-year-plus veteran of the game,
Cena knows...

1065
01:09:02,271 --> 01:09:03,906
every trick in the book.

1066
01:09:05,341 --> 01:09:08,544
[Wade] Cena is as mentally tough
as he ever was.

1067
01:09:08,611 --> 01:09:09,645
[Cole] Oh!

1068
01:09:09,712 --> 01:09:12,081
And again, the heavily taped right wrist

1069
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:15,551
and thumb of Solo Sikoa,
the target by Cena.

1070
01:09:16,685 --> 01:09:20,823
And it's rare that you see
this quickly in a matchup

1071
01:09:20,890 --> 01:09:24,393
someone like Solo Sikoa
effectively neutered.

1072
01:09:24,460 --> 01:09:28,330
[Cole] Well, he's in the ring
against a 16-time champion.

1073
01:09:29,331 --> 01:09:31,834
[Wade] Those
16-time World Championship reigns

1074
01:09:31,901 --> 01:09:34,303
were a long time ago,
though, Michael Cole.

1075
01:09:34,370 --> 01:09:36,939
John Cena has to turn back the clock here.

1076
01:09:37,006 --> 01:09:41,343
[Cole] And again,
continuing to make Sikoa suffer.

1077
01:09:46,282 --> 01:09:49,685
John Cena set the stage
last night on SmackDown,

1078
01:09:49,752 --> 01:09:53,088
laying out Solo Sikoa
and looking to continue here tonight.

1079
01:09:53,155 --> 01:09:56,258
Again, wrapping up the arm of Sikoa,

1080
01:09:56,325 --> 01:09:59,195
and Cena's been doing a great job,
a relentless attack.

1081
01:09:59,261 --> 01:10:03,098
And now Sikoa with a headbutt drives Cena
back to the middle of the ring.

1082
01:10:03,165 --> 01:10:04,867
[Wade] Look at the variety of opponents,

1083
01:10:04,934 --> 01:10:08,971
top-level opponents
Cena has fought in his career.

1084
01:10:09,038 --> 01:10:12,575
He's had a strategy on how
to defeat every single one,

1085
01:10:12,641 --> 01:10:17,012
but this is a very complex equation
for him to solve

1086
01:10:17,079 --> 01:10:19,648
in the form of Solo Sikoa.

1087
01:10:19,715 --> 01:10:22,518
[Cole] You mentioned those opponents,
a list of all-time greats,

1088
01:10:22,585 --> 01:10:27,223
the like of The Rock,
Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns,

1089
01:10:27,289 --> 01:10:29,758
Kurt Angle, Triple H,
Undertaker, Shawn Michaels,

1090
01:10:29,825 --> 01:10:31,727
Randy Orton, many, many more,

1091
01:10:32,795 --> 01:10:35,664
as you look out
over this vast crowd tonight.

1092
01:10:35,731 --> 01:10:38,634
[Wade] But one of those people
you just mentioned

1093
01:10:38,701 --> 01:10:42,638
got their marching orders
from the current great

1094
01:10:42,705 --> 01:10:45,374
"The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns.

1095
01:10:45,441 --> 01:10:48,444
[Cole] And now, Solo Sikoa
has slowed things down

1096
01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:50,679
and gone on the offense of Cena

1097
01:10:50,746 --> 01:10:54,783
and now looks to punish
the 16-time world champion.

1098
01:10:54,850 --> 01:10:57,886
Yeah, and I don't know
if Solo Sikoa suffers

1099
01:10:57,953 --> 01:11:00,689
from human weaknesses like pride and ego,

1100
01:11:00,756 --> 01:11:06,195
but John Cena was incredibly dismissive
and insulting on SmackDown last night,

1101
01:11:06,262 --> 01:11:10,432
so, if Solo Sikoa needed
any additional motivation...

1102
01:11:10,499 --> 01:11:14,603
-[Cole] Oh! Spin kick by Solo.
-...he will certainly have found it there.

1103
01:11:14,670 --> 01:11:18,340
[Cole] And you notice Sikoa
not going for pinfalls here.

1104
01:11:18,407 --> 01:11:22,978
Again, torture punished Cena
at the behest of Roman Reigns tonight.

1105
01:11:23,045 --> 01:11:27,416
[Wade] Solo Sikoa is no fool.
He knows you have to soften up, Cena.

1106
01:11:27,483 --> 01:11:30,819
You're not gonna get a quick victory.
That's literally never happened.

1107
01:11:30,886 --> 01:11:33,722
[Cole] Sold out tonight
at the Mohammed Abdo Arena,

1108
01:11:33,789 --> 01:11:35,391
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

1109
01:11:37,259 --> 01:11:39,595
Solo Sikoa versus John Cena.

1110
01:11:39,662 --> 01:11:42,965
You have to wonder, too,
Wade, is this the final time

1111
01:11:43,032 --> 01:11:46,535
we could see John Cena in a WWE ring?

1112
01:11:46,602 --> 01:11:49,872
[Wade] All good things
must come to an end at some point.

1113
01:11:49,938 --> 01:11:53,409
-Father Time is undefeated.
-[Cole] Sikoa from the second rope.

1114
01:11:54,810 --> 01:11:59,281
And again, John Cena saying things
coming into this matchup like,

1115
01:11:59,348 --> 01:12:02,217
"I need to deliver. I can't lose.

1116
01:12:02,284 --> 01:12:06,121
I can't lose the WWE fans
and the noise behind them.

1117
01:12:06,188 --> 01:12:07,623
That's what drives me."

1118
01:12:08,824 --> 01:12:13,529
[Wade] John Cena will always be
the first to know when it's over.

1119
01:12:13,595 --> 01:12:16,699
He won't need anybody else
to tell him that. I'll tell you this.

1120
01:12:16,765 --> 01:12:19,201
[Cole] Well, maybe Solo Sikoa
may tell him that tonight, Wade,

1121
01:12:19,268 --> 01:12:22,838
as he looks for
the Samoan Spike now on Cena.

1122
01:12:22,905 --> 01:12:27,710
Cena able to duck underneath and now
lifts Sikoa up on his shoulders for an AA.

1123
01:12:27,776 --> 01:12:29,311
Sikoa, though, with a kick.

1124
01:12:29,378 --> 01:12:31,046
You were saying?

1125
01:12:31,113 --> 01:12:34,750
Cover now by Sikoa on Cena.
Kick-out at two.

1126
01:12:34,817 --> 01:12:38,053
[Wade] John Cena,
as much as we don't ever want to see

1127
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,255
that big "R" word, the retirement,

1128
01:12:40,322 --> 01:12:44,760
facing guys like Solo Sikoa
when you've been out of the spotlight,

1129
01:12:44,827 --> 01:12:47,563
when you're not battle-hardened
like you used to be,

1130
01:12:48,697 --> 01:12:52,334
it's very difficult to see a path
to victory at times for Cena.

1131
01:12:52,401 --> 01:12:54,303
He's spoken openly about his body

1132
01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:57,573
not allowing him to compete
at the level he used to.

1133
01:12:57,639 --> 01:13:00,109
And I'll say it.
If he doesn't win here tonight,

1134
01:13:00,175 --> 01:13:02,978
we may well be staring down
the barrel of retirement.

1135
01:13:03,045 --> 01:13:05,948
[Cole] Solo Sikoa now backing it up.

1136
01:13:06,014 --> 01:13:09,718
Of course, paying homage
to the late, great Umaga.

1137
01:13:09,785 --> 01:13:12,654
Solo Sikoa, Umaga, and John Cena.

1138
01:13:12,721 --> 01:13:16,525
Many battles over the years
as Solo now is taking control.

1139
01:13:16,592 --> 01:13:20,329
Now, Cena, as we take another look,
watch the collision here in the corner.

1140
01:13:21,463 --> 01:13:24,333
Cena tweeted out earlier today,
"Every moment matters.

1141
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:29,371
Every opportunity to prove yourself
is worth giving your best.

1142
01:13:29,438 --> 01:13:33,409
Let's turn this math around,
the math he's talking about,

1143
01:13:33,475 --> 01:13:38,380
the five years
in between singles wins here in WWE.

1144
01:13:38,447 --> 01:13:41,483
[Wade] That's a deadline.
And over that Samoan Spike, perhaps.

1145
01:13:44,620 --> 01:13:48,757
[Cole] Solo Sikoa again misses the Spike.
Cena wrestles him down.

1146
01:13:48,824 --> 01:13:50,826
STF now by Cena.

1147
01:13:50,893 --> 01:13:55,197
The STF submission locked in by John Cena.

1148
01:13:55,264 --> 01:13:58,300
[Wade] One of the most torturous holds
I have ever been in.

1149
01:13:58,367 --> 01:14:02,671
I understand the agony written
all over the face of Solo Sikoa.

1150
01:14:02,738 --> 01:14:07,109
[Cole] And Sikoa able to reverse weight
into a pinning combination

1151
01:14:07,176 --> 01:14:10,412
and forces Cena to break it out,
follows it up with a clothesline.

1152
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,315
And one of the things, Wade,
and again, you've been in the ring

1153
01:14:13,382 --> 01:14:15,117
with John Cena on numerous occasions.

1154
01:14:15,184 --> 01:14:17,686
It's the resilience.
It's the comeback attitude.

1155
01:14:17,753 --> 01:14:22,090
JBL used to call Cena "Big Match John,"
and there's a reason for that.

1156
01:14:22,157 --> 01:14:25,961
[Wade] Well, John Cena breaks your spirit
before he breaks your body.

1157
01:14:26,028 --> 01:14:30,032
I don't know if Solo Sikoa
actually has a spirit,

1158
01:14:30,098 --> 01:14:31,800
so it might be a moot point.

1159
01:14:37,172 --> 01:14:40,576
[Cole] And now, Sikoa planting John
up on the second rope.

1160
01:14:42,010 --> 01:14:46,381
Talked about John Cena
mentioning seizing opportunities.

1161
01:14:46,448 --> 01:14:47,716
This is an opportunity.

1162
01:14:47,783 --> 01:14:50,219
[Cole] John doesn't want to be there.
Oh, no!

1163
01:14:51,286 --> 01:14:52,888
[Wade] This is an opportunity for Solo.

1164
01:14:52,955 --> 01:14:55,858
[Cole] Cover for the win!
And a kick-out by Cena.

1165
01:14:55,924 --> 01:14:59,728
[Wade] Solo Sikoa to step out
of the shadows of The Bloodline

1166
01:14:59,795 --> 01:15:02,831
and grab a piece of the pie
for himself for once.

1167
01:15:02,898 --> 01:15:04,366
A loyal soldier.

1168
01:15:04,433 --> 01:15:07,536
But this is all about Solo Sikoa's moment,

1169
01:15:07,603 --> 01:15:12,140
and you feel that moment of victory
is ebbing closer and closer.

1170
01:15:12,207 --> 01:15:16,011
[Cole] And you feel things starting
to slip away from John Cena.

1171
01:15:16,078 --> 01:15:19,414
He's been in control
of so many matches over the years,

1172
01:15:19,481 --> 01:15:24,319
16 times crowned World Champion,
tied for the most ever.

1173
01:15:24,386 --> 01:15:27,923
And now, Solo Sikoa
with that belly-to-belly to Cena.

1174
01:15:27,990 --> 01:15:30,158
Cover now, hook of the leg.

1175
01:15:30,225 --> 01:15:35,731
Didn't quite get the torque he wanted to
deliver his patented Spinning Solo, Wade,

1176
01:15:35,797 --> 01:15:37,532
but just almost as effective.

1177
01:15:38,567 --> 01:15:43,205
[Wade] John Cena has spent his career
out-enduring his opponent.

1178
01:15:43,272 --> 01:15:47,009
That has been his biggest asset,
but it's true in every sport.

1179
01:15:47,075 --> 01:15:49,811
The first thing to go
when you're an athlete

1180
01:15:49,878 --> 01:15:52,581
who's getting up there in years,
no matter the sport,

1181
01:15:52,648 --> 01:15:54,950
the first thing that goes
is that endurance.

1182
01:15:55,017 --> 01:15:58,320
[Cole] Yeah, the stamina,
which Cena has been so proud of

1183
01:15:58,387 --> 01:16:01,290
through his two-decade career here in WWE.

1184
01:16:01,356 --> 01:16:04,593
And now, Cena
almost looks exhausted in the corner

1185
01:16:04,660 --> 01:16:09,731
as again Solo Sikoa
continues to punish John Cena.

1186
01:16:09,798 --> 01:16:12,968
[Wade] Can Cena get that second wind,
that third wind,

1187
01:16:13,035 --> 01:16:17,239
that fourth wind that has put him
above and beyond the competition

1188
01:16:17,306 --> 01:16:19,741
over the past 15-plus years?

1189
01:16:19,808 --> 01:16:23,845
[Cole] Well, Solo Sikoa has
nowhere near the tread on the tires

1190
01:16:23,912 --> 01:16:26,281
that John Cena does in his career.

1191
01:16:26,348 --> 01:16:29,051
Fresh legs, fresh body.

1192
01:16:29,117 --> 01:16:33,722
Solo Sikoa looking for a Samoan Spike
to finally put John Cena away.

1193
01:16:33,789 --> 01:16:36,959
And again, Cena avoids.
There's the shoulder tackle.

1194
01:16:37,025 --> 01:16:40,162
Now Cena looks for a last-second rally.

1195
01:16:40,228 --> 01:16:42,464
[Wade] Spoke too soon.
Here's that second wind.

1196
01:16:42,531 --> 01:16:45,200
[Cole] And Cena now,
has Solo where he wants him.

1197
01:16:48,770 --> 01:16:52,541
Dig down deep one more time, perhaps,

1198
01:16:53,875 --> 01:16:56,078
with a Five-Knuckle Shuffle.

1199
01:16:56,144 --> 01:17:01,617
And now Cena,
measuring Sikoa, has Solo up.

1200
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:08,056
Went for the AA.
Sikoa able to counter into a Samoan Drop.

1201
01:17:08,123 --> 01:17:11,994
It's Solo Sikoa now to put Cena away.

1202
01:17:12,060 --> 01:17:15,764
And again, the heart of Cena
still beating here tonight.

1203
01:17:17,799 --> 01:17:20,836
[Wade] Just as
Cena was looking re-energized,

1204
01:17:20,902 --> 01:17:24,339
just as he re-found that belief
and was about to hit that AA,

1205
01:17:24,406 --> 01:17:28,510
immediately taken away
by this monstrous Samoan.

1206
01:17:29,578 --> 01:17:33,815
[Cole] How impressed have you been
with Solo Sikoa tonight

1207
01:17:33,882 --> 01:17:38,086
on this grand stage of WWE Crown Jewel?

1208
01:17:38,153 --> 01:17:40,689
[Wade] I've been as impressed
as I've been since he debuted

1209
01:17:40,756 --> 01:17:45,761
with WWE back
at Clash at the Castle last September.

1210
01:17:45,827 --> 01:17:50,699
This guy is an absolute freak,
and he's continuing to grow by the week.

1211
01:17:50,766 --> 01:17:52,901
[Cole] And for a third time,

1212
01:17:52,968 --> 01:17:57,706
just bashing Cena's face and head
against the turnbuckle.

1213
01:17:57,773 --> 01:18:00,742
The momentum, the whiplash created,

1214
01:18:00,809 --> 01:18:06,148
Solo Sikoa has left Cena
a pile of mess in the corner.

1215
01:18:07,616 --> 01:18:10,619
[Wade] Take another look
at the head of Cena,

1216
01:18:10,686 --> 01:18:13,755
snapping back
against that middle turnbuckle.

1217
01:18:13,822 --> 01:18:16,758
And you have to think
the comforts of Holly-- Whoa!

1218
01:18:16,825 --> 01:18:18,260
[Cole] Again, Cena back to the arm

1219
01:18:18,326 --> 01:18:20,295
he's been working on
throughout the matchup.

1220
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:23,065
The taped right hand of Solo Sikoa.

1221
01:18:23,131 --> 01:18:25,934
Cena again,
trying to rally, dig down deep,

1222
01:18:26,001 --> 01:18:29,204
cross body, Cena pulling out
all the stops, lateral press.

1223
01:18:29,271 --> 01:18:31,306
Oh, Sikoa kicks at two.

1224
01:18:35,010 --> 01:18:39,614
And if you're John Cena,
the doubt must be greater than ever.

1225
01:18:42,017 --> 01:18:46,755
As you take another look
at John Cena, who does not often fly,

1226
01:18:46,822 --> 01:18:49,925
but realizes he has to do
everything he can

1227
01:18:49,991 --> 01:18:52,060
to take out Sikoa in this match.

1228
01:18:52,127 --> 01:18:55,030
[Wade] Well, this is where
we're gonna learn a lot about John Cena,

1229
01:18:55,097 --> 01:18:57,065
where he's at in his career.

1230
01:18:57,132 --> 01:19:00,368
Can he dig deep enough
to put this one to bed?

1231
01:19:00,435 --> 01:19:02,938
[Cole] Cena lifting Solo Sikoa
up on his shoulders.

1232
01:19:03,004 --> 01:19:04,873
Big kick by Sikoa.

1233
01:19:05,907 --> 01:19:08,944
And now he has Cena--
Oh, and again, Cena blocks.

1234
01:19:09,010 --> 01:19:11,313
Cena-- Whoa! A chokeslam!

1235
01:19:11,379 --> 01:19:14,049
Cover by Cena! Hook of the leg!

1236
01:19:14,116 --> 01:19:15,884
Sikoa kicks out!

1237
01:19:15,951 --> 01:19:18,854
[Wade] Just an air of desperation
of everything

1238
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,758
that John Cena is throwing
the way of Solo Sikoa.

1239
01:19:23,792 --> 01:19:25,026
You've softened him up,

1240
01:19:25,093 --> 01:19:27,696
but you have to be able
to pounce and capitalize.

1241
01:19:29,664 --> 01:19:34,870
[Cole] Again, John Cena utilizing moves
that aren't often in his repertoire,

1242
01:19:34,936 --> 01:19:38,673
doing whatever he can tonight
to try to beat Sikoa

1243
01:19:38,740 --> 01:19:44,679
and end what is a five-year losing streak
in singles matches in WWE.

1244
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,785
[Wade] Spoke to "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman
earlier today. He told me Cena has fought

1245
01:19:49,851 --> 01:19:52,954
with every member of The Bloodline
over the years.

1246
01:19:53,021 --> 01:19:55,657
Well, it stops today with Solo Sikoa.

1247
01:19:57,292 --> 01:20:00,462
And "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman
rarely gets it wrong.

1248
01:20:06,468 --> 01:20:08,904
[Cole] Cena now,
with Solo Sikoa up on his shoulders.

1249
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:10,305
Went for an AA again.

1250
01:20:10,372 --> 01:20:13,642
Sikoa, this time, hits a Spinning Solo.

1251
01:20:13,708 --> 01:20:15,210
Got all of it that time.

1252
01:20:15,277 --> 01:20:18,513
Cover now, on Cena. John still kicks out.

1253
01:20:19,447 --> 01:20:23,752
[Wade] John Cena's body bouncing
around the ring like a shop mannequin.

1254
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:28,657
And there is bloodlust
in the eyes of Solo Sikoa.

1255
01:20:30,592 --> 01:20:32,427
[Cole] Full torque that time.

1256
01:20:34,129 --> 01:20:38,099
[Wade] But still,
hats off to Cena. He endures.

1257
01:20:38,166 --> 01:20:40,902
[Cole] And again,
enjoy this experience, folks.

1258
01:20:40,969 --> 01:20:43,638
We don't know
how much longer Cena will last.

1259
01:20:43,705 --> 01:20:46,942
Solo Sikoa now has Cena
where he wants him.

1260
01:20:47,008 --> 01:20:49,878
Went for the Spike, blocked again by John.

1261
01:20:49,945 --> 01:20:55,383
John Cena able to block
the Samoan Spike again by Sikoa.

1262
01:20:55,450 --> 01:20:58,820
Takedown,
trying to wrap him up in the STF.

1263
01:21:04,326 --> 01:21:06,661
Doesn't quite have it all. Now he does.

1264
01:21:06,728 --> 01:21:11,066
Solo Sikoa trying to drag himself
to the bottom rope or tap out, perhaps.

1265
01:21:11,132 --> 01:21:12,801
[Wade] Almost saw a tap out

1266
01:21:12,867 --> 01:21:15,503
from Solo Sikoa,
something I never thought we'd see,

1267
01:21:15,570 --> 01:21:19,641
but that desperation lunge
just about reaching the bottom rope.

1268
01:21:19,708 --> 01:21:22,577
[Cole] Yeah, made it to the rope.
John Cena kicked away by Sikoa.

1269
01:21:22,644 --> 01:21:23,945
Look at the powers of recovery.

1270
01:21:24,012 --> 01:21:26,014
[Cole] He got him!
He got him with a spike!

1271
01:21:26,081 --> 01:21:29,317
Solo got Cena with a Spike
from out of nowhere!

1272
01:21:29,384 --> 01:21:32,454
But again, the previous damage
by Cena to the arm,

1273
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,856
Solo Sikoa collapsed as well.

1274
01:21:34,923 --> 01:21:37,592
[Wade] Well, if Solo Sikoa
could have made a pin there,

1275
01:21:37,659 --> 01:21:39,394
this one would've been over.

1276
01:21:39,461 --> 01:21:41,630
[cheers and applause]

1277
01:21:41,696 --> 01:21:45,166
Must have sent shockwaves
down the arm of Solo Sikoa,

1278
01:21:45,233 --> 01:21:48,670
but such is the sacrifice
he's willing to make

1279
01:21:48,737 --> 01:21:50,605
to put away The Greatest Of All Time.

1280
01:21:50,672 --> 01:21:53,208
[Cole] John Cena back to his feet,

1281
01:21:53,275 --> 01:21:57,512
suffering from the effects of--
Another Samoan Spike by Sikoa.

1282
01:21:59,915 --> 01:22:01,816
[Wade] Sikoa is like a man possessed.

1283
01:22:03,418 --> 01:22:09,391
[Cole] But yet Cena again trying
to drag himself to his feet.

1284
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:15,263
And this time, a third Samoan Spike!

1285
01:22:15,330 --> 01:22:20,001
[Wade] A defenseless John Cena
is being annihilated.

1286
01:22:22,070 --> 01:22:24,039
And still no cover!

1287
01:22:25,473 --> 01:22:28,677
[Cole] Cena, I'm not even quite sure
John knows where he's at.

1288
01:22:28,743 --> 01:22:34,582
Just crawling around the ring,
gasping for air, choking for breath.

1289
01:22:35,550 --> 01:22:37,585
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!

1290
01:22:37,652 --> 01:22:40,221
[Cole] Does he have one rally left?

1291
01:22:42,991 --> 01:22:46,861
And again, another Samoan Spike!

1292
01:22:47,829 --> 01:22:50,398
[Wade] This is becoming grotesque.

1293
01:22:51,299 --> 01:22:53,735
Is Solo even trying to win at this point?

1294
01:22:57,872 --> 01:23:02,110
[Cole] He was assigned the task
of taking out Cena.

1295
01:23:02,177 --> 01:23:06,414
And he's doing just that
with a savage beatdown

1296
01:23:06,481 --> 01:23:08,983
of The Greatest Of All Time.

1297
01:23:09,050 --> 01:23:12,287
-[Wade] This referee needs to stop it.
-[Cole] Just pin him already!

1298
01:23:12,354 --> 01:23:14,456
-One, two, three.
-[bell dings]

1299
01:23:14,522 --> 01:23:16,324
["Taking It All" by def rebel playing]

1300
01:23:16,391 --> 01:23:21,496
[Rome] Here's your winner, Solo Sikoa!

1301
01:23:21,563 --> 01:23:26,201
[Cole] Ladies and gentlemen,
an emphatic win.

1302
01:23:26,267 --> 01:23:28,336
A massive statement.

1303
01:23:29,637 --> 01:23:32,607
From The Bloodline's Enforcer,

1304
01:23:32,674 --> 01:23:36,644
as Solo Sikoa steps out of that shadow.

1305
01:23:37,712 --> 01:23:41,216
Solo Sikoa has his own star now.

1306
01:23:41,282 --> 01:23:43,218
And it burns bright.

1307
01:23:43,284 --> 01:23:45,453
[Wade] Well, this is the first one.

1308
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,758
Out of nowhere, John Cena caught cold
just when he was close to victory.

1309
01:23:49,824 --> 01:23:51,860
And count them, here's number two.

1310
01:23:54,529 --> 01:23:55,697
Number three.

1311
01:23:55,764 --> 01:23:58,700
And there was no slowing Solo Sikoa down.

1312
01:23:58,767 --> 01:24:00,201
He was a man on a mission.

1313
01:24:00,268 --> 01:24:04,572
At this point, I just lost count
and covered my eyes.

1314
01:24:08,743 --> 01:24:13,481
[Cole] It was one of the most
hellacious beatdowns in the career

1315
01:24:13,548 --> 01:24:16,584
of the man I named
The Greatest Of All Time.

1316
01:24:17,752 --> 01:24:19,788
And tonight, Solo Sikoa

1317
01:24:21,556 --> 01:24:24,759
has a star-making moment.

1318
01:24:27,429 --> 01:24:29,864
Thanks to the Samoan Spike.

1319
01:24:29,931 --> 01:24:35,070
[Wade] John Cena was the sun
that the rest of us orbited around.

1320
01:24:35,136 --> 01:24:39,574
We may have just seen that sun
burning out before our eyes.

1321
01:24:39,641 --> 01:24:43,678
[Cole] And will Solo Sikoa's resume
now read,

1322
01:24:44,612 --> 01:24:49,717
"The Man Who Retired John Cena"?

[loud cheering and applause]

1329
01:26:42,797 --> 01:26:47,402
[Cole] I'm not sure that the enormity
of this moment can be overstated.

1330
01:26:49,404 --> 01:26:52,273
[crowd chanting] We love you, Cena!

1331
01:26:57,145 --> 01:27:00,014
[Cole] That man right there
is a man who defines sports entertainment

1332
01:27:00,081 --> 01:27:02,250
for an entire generation.

1333
01:27:03,318 --> 01:27:08,423
A man who has selflessly given of himself
to children in need worldwide.

1334
01:27:09,524 --> 01:27:10,825
A true leader.

1335
01:27:12,994 --> 01:27:14,796
And from a personal standpoint,

1336
01:27:15,797 --> 01:27:19,300
I can say the man who has meant more
to me in my career

1337
01:27:19,367 --> 01:27:23,171
than anyone in this business.

1338
01:27:25,974 --> 01:27:29,544
Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena

1339
01:27:29,611 --> 01:27:33,781
is truly The Greatest Of All Time.

1340
01:27:38,886 --> 01:27:41,656

1342
01:27:43,258 --> 01:27:46,160
just a few hundred yards away
from our arena here tonight.

1343
01:27:46,227 --> 01:27:51,032
The home of the WWE Experience,
which will be fully open in January.

1344
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:54,235
Wade and I had the opportunity
to tour the facility last night.

1345
01:27:54,302 --> 01:27:55,436
It's gonna be awesome.

1346
01:27:55,503 --> 01:27:58,673
WWE shop, Superstar appearances,
autographs,

1347
01:27:58,740 --> 01:28:02,110
a trip through WWE history,
and so much more.

1348
01:28:02,176 --> 01:28:05,813
I can't wait for the WWE Experience.

1349
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,083
[The Miz's theme song playing]

1350
01:28:10,985 --> 01:28:17,158
[Rome] At this time,
please welcome the host of Miz TV,

1351
01:28:17,225 --> 01:28:20,928
The Miz!

1352
01:28:20,995 --> 01:28:23,965
[Cole] Well, a handful of appearances
in Saudi Arabia for The Miz.

1353
01:28:24,032 --> 01:28:25,767
I spoke with him earlier today.

1354
01:28:25,833 --> 01:28:28,536
He was so excited, Wade,
to have the opportunity

1355
01:28:28,603 --> 01:28:31,973
to host a Miz TV here tonight
at Crown Jewel.

1356
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:33,441
[Wade] How could you not be?

1357
01:28:33,508 --> 01:28:39,380
This arena, this audience,
this location, this is a destination.

1358
01:28:39,447 --> 01:28:43,685
And as always,
The Miz is appointment viewing.

1359
01:28:53,594 --> 01:28:57,665
[crowd cheering]

1360
01:28:59,033 --> 01:29:02,136
Welcome to the most must-see
WWE talk show in history.

1361
01:29:02,203 --> 01:29:05,340
-Welcome to...
-[crowd] Miz TV!

1362
01:29:05,406 --> 01:29:08,509
...Miz TV.
Oh, you guys are ready?

1363
01:29:08,576 --> 01:29:11,145
So let's get this bad boy started.

1364
01:29:11,212 --> 01:29:15,349
My guest tonight
is one of Saudi Arabia's own.

1365
01:29:15,416 --> 01:29:21,989
He is the star of the highest-grossing
Saudi Arabian movie in history, Sattar.

1366
01:29:22,056 --> 01:29:25,760
Ladies and gentlemen,
please get up out of your seats

1367
01:29:25,827 --> 01:29:29,564
for Ibrahim Al Hajjaj!

1368
01:29:29,630 --> 01:29:33,134
["I Got This"
by Chuck D Beat Crew playing]

1369
01:29:35,303 --> 01:29:37,271
[song continues]

1370
01:29:40,141 --> 01:29:42,110
[Cole] You know, this dude here,
he's incredible.

1371
01:29:42,176 --> 01:29:45,046
We met him last night.
He's funny as hell, Wade.

1372
01:29:45,113 --> 01:29:50,118
He's the Joy Award winner
as the best actor in the Middle East.

1373
01:29:51,252 --> 01:29:54,622
[Wade] Yeah, absolutely.
Had me holding my sides yesterday

1374
01:29:54,689 --> 01:29:57,759
like I was watching
a Dave Chappelle special.

1375
01:29:57,825 --> 01:30:02,397
This guy truly is box office
here in Saudi Arabia,

1376
01:30:02,463 --> 01:30:05,867
and we're about to get a little taste
of that right now on Miz TV!

1377
01:30:05,933 --> 01:30:08,703
[Cole] He's an entrepreneur as well.
He owns Blacklight Films,

1378
01:30:08,770 --> 01:30:10,338
the House of Comedy.

1379
01:30:10,405 --> 01:30:13,574
He's a stand-up comedian.
He's toured the United States.

1380
01:30:17,779 --> 01:30:21,516
And you can tell by the reaction,
as Miz mentioned,

1381
01:30:21,582 --> 01:30:24,552
a massive star in Saudi Arabia.

1382
01:30:24,619 --> 01:30:27,989
[Wade] Big-time player,
and this audience loves him.

1383
01:30:28,055 --> 01:30:31,559
[Cole] Told us last night
that he was a big Michael Cole fan.

1384
01:30:31,626 --> 01:30:33,594
Didn't really like Bad News Barrett.

1385
01:30:33,661 --> 01:30:36,431
[Wade] He did not say that at all.
Do not lie to the good people

1386
01:30:36,497 --> 01:30:38,499
of planet Earth with your nonsense.

1387
01:30:38,566 --> 01:30:41,936
You're like WWE's equivalent
of the National Enquirer.

1388

1389
01:30:56,384 --> 01:31:00,121

[cheers and applause]

1391

No, no, no, no, no.

-[Miz] Habibi.

1397
01:31:19,507 --> 01:31:20,975
Habibi.

1398
01:31:21,042 --> 01:31:22,543
Habibi Ibrahim!

1399
01:31:22,610 --> 01:31:25,379
-[cheers and applause]
-Have a seat.

1400
01:31:25,446 --> 01:31:27,114
Welcome to the show.

1401
01:31:27,181 --> 01:31:29,750
Thank you so much.
It's an honor to be here.

1402
01:31:29,817 --> 01:31:33,020
Crown Jewel here in Riyadh, baby!

1403
01:31:33,087 --> 01:31:35,223
[cheers and applause]

1404
01:31:35,289 --> 01:31:37,925
So, your character in the movie Sattar,

1405
01:31:37,992 --> 01:31:42,163
he, uh-- his dream
is to be a WWE Superstar.

1406
01:31:42,230 --> 01:31:45,433
Do you ever have any aspirations, too?

1407
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:46,801
[Cole] Oh, no.

1408
01:31:46,868 --> 01:31:50,171
["Eye On the Prize" by def rebel playing]

1409
01:31:52,139 --> 01:31:53,441
[Wade] Are you kidding me?

1410
01:31:53,508 --> 01:31:56,077
[Cole] No, I'm not. That's Grayson Waller.

1411
01:31:58,513 --> 01:31:59,680
[Miz] Who invited him?

1412
01:32:02,717 --> 01:32:08,155
Ibrahim, it's nice to finally have
an actual movie star on Miz TV.

1413
01:32:10,525 --> 01:32:11,959
But you're a big star.

1414
01:32:13,494 --> 01:32:15,263
We need to treat you with some respect.

1415
01:32:15,329 --> 01:32:17,932
Let's get an actual talk show
set in the ring right now.

1416
01:32:17,999 --> 01:32:20,635
Yalla, yalla, let's go, let's go.
Let's get it in the ring.

1417
01:32:22,870 --> 01:32:25,373
Get rid of those cheap director chairs.

1418
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:26,774
Let's get some plants.

1419
01:32:26,841 --> 01:32:28,042
This looks good.

1420
01:32:29,777 --> 01:32:31,379
[Miz] Is this for real right now?

1421
01:32:33,848 --> 01:32:36,550
You guys are actually
going to listen to him.

1422
01:32:36,617 --> 01:32:37,852
To him?

1423
01:32:39,921 --> 01:32:42,290
I have been here for 20 years.

1424
01:32:42,356 --> 01:32:44,458
He's been here for 20 minutes.

1425
01:32:45,793 --> 01:32:47,728
Uh, I have been here for 20 minutes, Miz.

1426
01:32:47,795 --> 01:32:51,465
You're right,
but it ain't 2005 no more, lad.

1427
01:32:51,532 --> 01:32:52,967
It's 2023.

1428
01:32:54,135 --> 01:32:56,571
And the hottest talk show in the WWE

1429
01:32:56,637 --> 01:33:01,075
is The Grayson Waller Effect.

1430
01:33:01,142 --> 01:33:02,810
Hottest show?

1431
01:33:02,877 --> 01:33:06,213
This looks like Australian public access.

1432
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,083
Cheap shirt, cheap set.

1433
01:33:09,150 --> 01:33:11,819
It's like they're getting
Cristiano Ronaldo

1434
01:33:11,886 --> 01:33:15,923
and you want them to settle
for the ball boy.

1435
01:33:18,259 --> 01:33:20,061
Oh, you think
I get soccer references, huh?

1436
01:33:20,127 --> 01:33:22,830
I think you're just jealous.
You ain't got no plants on your show.

1437
01:33:22,897 --> 01:33:23,898
You are jealous.

1438
01:33:23,965 --> 01:33:25,599
Guys, guys, guys.

1439
01:33:25,666 --> 01:33:27,535
There's plenty of me. It's okay.

1440
01:33:27,602 --> 01:33:29,704
I can come do an interview with you later.

1441
01:33:29,770 --> 01:33:35,276
And I agreed to come to WWE
to be at the hottest talk show.

1442
01:33:35,343 --> 01:33:38,045
The hottest talk show.

1443
01:33:38,112 --> 01:33:40,581
And the hottest talk show in WWE is...

1444
01:33:41,983 --> 01:33:43,417
Miz TV.

1445
01:33:48,789 --> 01:33:51,292
Ibrahim, I know you're new here.

1446
01:33:51,359 --> 01:33:52,493
Habibi.

1447
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,963
Do you want to try that again?
Because I think you got the wrong answer.

1448
01:33:56,030 --> 01:33:57,031
Try again.

1449
01:33:59,734 --> 01:34:00,735
Habibi.

1450
01:34:01,936 --> 01:34:03,404
Miz TV.

1451
01:34:07,608 --> 01:34:10,745
I don't know if you noticed right now,
but if you look around this venue,

1452
01:34:10,811 --> 01:34:14,482
my name is all over this place,
which means this is my show.

1453
01:34:16,283 --> 01:34:18,285
Which means this is my ring.

1454
01:34:18,352 --> 01:34:22,023
Which means you're disrespecting me
right now in my ring.

1455
01:34:22,089 --> 01:34:24,525
And, lad, I don't like that.

1456
01:34:24,592 --> 01:34:26,494
So how about you

1457
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:28,462
get out of my ring right now?

1458
01:34:46,313 --> 01:34:48,382
You're kidding yourself right now.

1459
01:34:55,756 --> 01:34:58,759
[loud cheering]

1460
01:35:04,198 --> 01:35:05,533
You want to do something?

1461
01:35:05,599 --> 01:35:07,168
-Come on!
-Yep.

1462
01:35:07,234 --> 01:35:08,736
Oh!

1463
01:35:10,638 --> 01:35:11,906
[Cole] That was pathetic.

1464
01:35:11,972 --> 01:35:15,109
Oh, man, Miz

1465
01:35:15,176 --> 01:35:17,812
with a big boot to Waller.

1466
01:35:17,878 --> 01:35:20,915
Now he's going to cancel
The Grayson Waller Effect.

1467
01:35:20,981 --> 01:35:23,050
[Wade] This one
went off the rails in a hurry.

1468
01:35:23,117 --> 01:35:25,486
[Cole] What'd you expect?

1469
01:35:25,553 --> 01:35:26,821
[Wade] I wanted Miz TV.

1470
01:35:27,788 --> 01:35:30,958
[Cole] I think Waller's gonna get
a Skull-Crushing Finale.

1471
01:35:35,429 --> 01:35:36,997
Oh!

1472
01:35:37,064 --> 01:35:38,365
Ibrahim with a big kick.

1473
01:35:38,432 --> 01:35:41,001
Miz with a Skull-Crushing Finale.

1474
01:35:43,537 --> 01:35:45,306
-[Wade] Wow.
-[Cole] What a team.

1475
01:35:46,874 --> 01:35:50,311
[Wade] Ibrahim Al Hajjaj
is already better in ring

1476
01:35:50,377 --> 01:35:52,113
than Michael Cole ever was.

1477
01:35:52,179 --> 01:35:53,981
[Cole] But is he undefeated
at WrestleMania?

1478
01:35:54,048 --> 01:35:56,584
[crowd chanting] Miz TV!

1479
01:36:02,990 --> 01:36:04,792
[Cole] He's still going.

1480
01:36:16,737 --> 01:36:18,105
This is tremendous.

1481
01:36:21,041 --> 01:36:23,210
[Wade] He's got a better in ring-- Oh, no.

1482
01:36:23,277 --> 01:36:27,248
Better in ring outfit
than your orange singlet. Here we go.

1483
01:36:27,314 --> 01:36:29,784
[Cole] He's going to steal the move
of another great actor.

1484
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:34,321
A People's Elbow.

1485
01:36:35,990 --> 01:36:38,993
[Wade] If it carries on like that,
we may well see him in a match

1486
01:36:39,059 --> 01:36:40,728
at WrestleMania, Michael Cole.

1487
01:36:41,996 --> 01:36:43,631
Perhaps against you.

1488
01:36:48,602 --> 01:36:52,473
I'm so glad Miz TV finally canceled
The Grayson Waller Effect.

1489
01:36:52,540 --> 01:36:53,841
But what about Ibrahim tonight?

1490
01:36:53,908 --> 01:36:56,210
[Wade] Yeah, he was something
very special. Love that guy.

1491
01:36:56,277 --> 01:36:57,678
Well done, Ibrahim.

1492
01:36:57,745 --> 01:36:59,680
Much better than Michael Cole.

1493
01:36:59,747 --> 01:37:01,816
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
don't go anywhere.

1494
01:37:01,882 --> 01:37:03,751
As Crown Jewel comes back

1495
01:37:03,817 --> 01:37:06,787
with a match
for the United States Championship.

1496
01:37:06,854 --> 01:37:10,624
Right after this break, for our
subscribers of Peacock Premium Plus,

1497
01:37:10,691 --> 01:37:13,327
let's take a look
at social media megastar Logan Paul

1498
01:37:13,394 --> 01:37:15,863
setting his eyes
on the United States Championship

1499
01:37:15,930 --> 01:37:20,167
against WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio.

1500
01:37:24,038 --> 01:37:30,244
Social media megastar,
free agent, WWE Superstar.

1501
01:37:33,013 --> 01:37:36,250
Taken WWE by storm.

1502
01:37:38,652 --> 01:37:42,089
Logan Paul lives
to prove the doubters wrong.

1503
01:37:42,156 --> 01:37:45,426
[Logan] I got my eye on something.
I got my eye on someone.

1504
01:37:45,492 --> 01:37:49,129
Rey Mysterio,
I already beat you once, brother.

1505
01:37:49,196 --> 01:37:52,166
And I'm coming for that US Championship.

1506
01:37:52,233 --> 01:37:53,867
Let's go!

1507
01:37:53,934 --> 01:37:57,137
I'm not hard to find. You can find me
every Friday Night on SmackDown.

1508
01:37:57,204 --> 01:37:58,205
[man] That's right.

1509
01:37:58,272 --> 01:38:00,074
So I can't wait to see what he has to say.

1510
01:38:01,809 --> 01:38:05,346
I should've known that
if I wanted a real competition,

1511
01:38:05,412 --> 01:38:08,315
I could've just had another WWE match.

1512
01:38:08,382 --> 01:38:11,619
But I'm not here for Rey Mysterio.

1513
01:38:11,685 --> 01:38:17,424
I already beat Rey Mysterio
in my first-ever WWE wrestling match.

1514
01:38:17,491 --> 01:38:20,060
[Cole] An impressive performance
by Logan Paul.

1515
01:38:20,127 --> 01:38:24,098
Been there, done that.
A lot has changed since then, y'all.

1516
01:38:24,164 --> 01:38:26,166
I'm an engaged man now.

1517
01:38:26,233 --> 01:38:28,202
I got a boxing victory.

1518
01:38:28,269 --> 01:38:31,238
Hell, man, I got a multi-billion dollar
hydration business.

1519
01:38:31,305 --> 01:38:32,640
Drink Prime.

1520
01:38:32,706 --> 01:38:37,444
I am no longer a little boy
trying to navigate this industry.

1521
01:38:37,511 --> 01:38:41,448
I know who I am.
I am a WWE Superstar, baby.

1522
01:38:44,018 --> 01:38:45,819
But...

1523
01:38:45,886 --> 01:38:49,556
Rey does have something I need.

1524
01:38:49,623 --> 01:38:51,458
You see, Rey has respect.

1525
01:38:51,525 --> 01:38:55,729
[Cole] The biggest little man
in the history of WWE.

1526
01:38:57,598 --> 01:39:00,467
I need your respect. Rey has legacy.

1527
01:39:00,534 --> 01:39:03,771
[Cole] Rey Mysterio,
the legendary Luchador.

1528
01:39:03,837 --> 01:39:05,973
[Corey] He's a warrior
in the land of giants.

1529
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:07,741
That's why the fans love him.

1530
01:39:07,808 --> 01:39:11,011
Twenty-year career here at WWE.

1531
01:39:12,780 --> 01:39:14,581
I got my own legacy.

1532
01:39:14,648 --> 01:39:17,451
Rey has the U.S. Championship.

1533
01:39:18,719 --> 01:39:19,987
[Cole] 619!

1534
01:39:21,488 --> 01:39:25,592
The Legendary Luchador wins
the United States Championship.

1535
01:39:25,659 --> 01:39:28,195
Rey Mysterio, the Hall of Famer,

1536
01:39:28,262 --> 01:39:30,698
has stepped up
for the entire Latino community.

1537
01:39:30,764 --> 01:39:33,434
And I do need that championship.

1538
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:35,569
[Rey Mysterio's theme song playing]

1539
01:39:35,636 --> 01:39:39,807
[Mysterio] You know, Logan,
I really think you need some humbling.

1540
01:39:40,941 --> 01:39:43,877
I'm not gonna hesitate
to whoop your ass.

1541
01:39:43,944 --> 01:39:46,080
You say you need this.

1542
01:39:46,146 --> 01:39:47,481
You want this.

1543
01:39:47,548 --> 01:39:50,217
Si, so badly.

1544
01:39:50,284 --> 01:39:55,055
[Mysterio] Logan Paul versus Rey Mysterio

1545
01:39:55,122 --> 01:39:58,625
for the United States Championship

1546
01:39:58,692 --> 01:40:00,961
at Crown Jewel.

1547
01:40:01,028 --> 01:40:02,763
[conversing in Spanish]

1548
01:40:10,170 --> 01:40:12,573
You know what they say,
never let them know your next move.

1549
01:40:14,174 --> 01:40:16,377
That's all it takes, my guy.

1550
01:40:16,443 --> 01:40:18,212
One punch, Rey.

1551
01:40:18,278 --> 01:40:20,014
My fist is as big as Rey's head.

1552
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:21,081
The official weigh-in

1553
01:40:21,148 --> 01:40:23,550
for the WWE
United States Championship match

1554
01:40:23,617 --> 01:40:25,018
at Crown Jewel.

1555
01:40:25,085 --> 01:40:28,055
Official weight, 213, Logan Paul.

1556
01:40:29,590 --> 01:40:33,927
Official weight 175
for the champion, Rey Mysterio.

1557
01:40:35,829 --> 01:40:38,732
Just got one thing to say
to get this clear.

1558
01:40:40,167 --> 01:40:42,669
[overlapping shouting]

1559
01:40:53,781 --> 01:40:56,016
[Cole] The Saudi Arabian
capital city of Riyadh

1560
01:40:56,083 --> 01:40:58,218
plays host to WWE Crown Jewel tonight.

1561
01:40:58,285 --> 01:41:01,221
A significant player
in the ongoing Riyadh season.

1562
01:41:01,288 --> 01:41:03,190
It's a reflection of the Kingdom's goal

1563
01:41:03,257 --> 01:41:06,226
of making it a worldwide
entertainment destination.

1564
01:41:06,293 --> 01:41:09,129
And the development
of permanent entertainment areas

1565
01:41:09,196 --> 01:41:11,165
like Boulevard City and VIA Riyadh.

1566
01:41:11,231 --> 01:41:14,334
Of course, Boulevard City just across
the street from the arena here tonight.

1567
01:41:14,401 --> 01:41:19,206
That is where the new WWE Experience
will take place starting in January.

1568
01:41:19,273 --> 01:41:21,008
And speaking of experience,

1569
01:41:21,075 --> 01:41:23,210
what an experience it's been
in Riyadh for both of us.

1570
01:41:23,277 --> 01:41:26,213
And the entire WWE team
this week in Riyadh.

1571
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:29,249
Including social media megastar
Logan Paul.

1572
01:41:29,316 --> 01:41:32,319
This is what he was doing earlier today,
out at the desert.

1573
01:41:35,489 --> 01:41:38,258
[wind howling]

1574
01:42:11,959 --> 01:42:13,794
[engine rumbling]

1575
01:42:20,868 --> 01:42:22,035
Whoo!

1576
01:42:39,753 --> 01:42:42,256
[Cole] We are awaiting
the arrival of Logan Paul,

1577
01:42:42,322 --> 01:42:45,292
who seeks his first championship at WWE,

1578
01:42:45,359 --> 01:42:50,130
as he goes one-on-one
with WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio

1579
01:42:50,197 --> 01:42:54,401
for the prestigious
United States Championship.

1580
01:43:05,846 --> 01:43:07,281
I'm in Saudi!

1581
01:43:08,515 --> 01:43:11,385
You know, I'm in Saudi to become US Champ.

1582
01:43:11,451 --> 01:43:16,056
I ain't taking this lightly.
Rey Mysterio in trouble!

1583
01:43:16,123 --> 01:43:18,091
Rey Mysterio in trouble!

1584
01:43:21,728 --> 01:43:22,963
Let's go!

1585
01:43:24,998 --> 01:43:28,435
Now that's an entrance, driving right here
into the building in Riyadh.

1586
01:43:28,502 --> 01:43:31,438
Are you telling me I had to sit in
meetings with you all day,

1587
01:43:31,505 --> 01:43:34,441
when I could have been out in the dunes
on that mean machine?

1588
01:43:34,508 --> 01:43:37,044
-You weren't invited, by the way.
-Apparently not.

1589
01:43:37,110 --> 01:43:39,513
But I think Logan Paul is here!

1590
01:43:39,580 --> 01:43:41,481
["Take Flight" playing]

1591
01:43:54,695 --> 01:43:55,996
[Cole] What an arrival!

1592
01:43:57,531 --> 01:43:58,899
For The Maverick!

1593
01:44:07,407 --> 01:44:08,809
[bell dings]

1594
01:44:08,875 --> 01:44:11,612
[Rome] The following contest
is set for one fall,

1595
01:44:11,678 --> 01:44:17,217
and it is
for the United States Championship!

1596
01:44:17,284 --> 01:44:20,487
But I am the greatest of all time!
Let's go!

1597
01:44:20,554 --> 01:44:23,690
The challenger
from Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico,

1598
01:44:23,757 --> 01:44:26,360
by way of Cleveland, Ohio,

1599
01:44:26,426 --> 01:44:30,063
Logan Paul!

1600
01:44:30,130 --> 01:44:32,366
[Cole] Fresh off beating Dillon Danis
in a boxing match

1601
01:44:32,432 --> 01:44:36,937
a couple of weeks ago, Logan Paul,
who now boasts, Wade,

1602
01:44:37,004 --> 01:44:43,043
nearly 96 million social media followers!

1603
01:44:43,110 --> 01:44:47,948
[Wade] Well, love him or loathe him,
Logan Paul is box office viewing!

1604
01:44:48,015 --> 01:44:52,052
Clear the diary, make sure you've got eyes
on The Maverick,

1605
01:44:52,119 --> 01:44:54,521
because no matter what he's doing

1606
01:44:54,588 --> 01:44:59,860
everybody at work will be talking
about this guy next week, guaranteed!

1607
01:44:59,926 --> 01:45:02,829
[Cole] What about what
Logan Paul did last year,

1608
01:45:02,896 --> 01:45:05,365
at this time, here in Saudi Arabia?

1609
01:45:05,432 --> 01:45:08,969
Taking Roman Reigns to the limit
for the Undisputed Championship!

1610
01:45:10,704 --> 01:45:13,340
[Wade] Ludicrous natural athlete,

1611
01:45:13,407 --> 01:45:15,776
and he's gonna have to be
at his best tonight!

1612
01:45:15,842 --> 01:45:17,711
[Rey Mysterio's theme song playing]

1613
01:45:45,172 --> 01:45:48,975
[Rome] His opponent, representing the LWO

1614
01:45:49,042 --> 01:45:54,047
he is the United States Champion

1615
01:45:54,114 --> 01:45:57,617
WWE Hall of Famer

1616
01:45:57,684 --> 01:46:02,456
Rey Mysterio!

1617
01:46:02,522 --> 01:46:04,991
[Cole] When this rivalry started,
and Logan Paul made it clear

1618
01:46:05,058 --> 01:46:07,894
he wanted a challenge
for the United States Championship

1619
01:46:07,961 --> 01:46:11,832
he believed it was done out of respect,
but there's nothing respectful

1620
01:46:11,898 --> 01:46:15,802
about the way Logan Paul
has treated Rey Mysterio as of late.

1621
01:46:15,869 --> 01:46:17,704
A sucker punch a couple of weeks ago,

1622
01:46:17,771 --> 01:46:21,274
last night on Friday Night SmackDown,
during the weigh-in

1623
01:46:21,341 --> 01:46:23,310
some trash talk by Logan Paul,

1624
01:46:23,376 --> 01:46:26,580
calling Rey Mysterio "small",
before Rey slapped him in the face

1625
01:46:26,646 --> 01:46:28,515
and hit him in the head with a microphone!

1626
01:46:28,582 --> 01:46:31,718
[Wade] Yeah, Paul has said himself
he's not here for respect

1627
01:46:31,785 --> 01:46:35,989
he's not here for legacy
he has that already.

1628
01:46:36,056 --> 01:46:39,259
He's a mercenary,
who has a taste for the gold

1629
01:46:39,326 --> 01:46:44,398
that is currently around the waist of
the Legendary Luchador Rey Mysterio!

1630
01:46:44,464 --> 01:46:48,402
[Cole] And the weigh-in last night,
Logan Paul was 213 pounds,

1631
01:46:48,468 --> 01:46:52,739
Rey Mysterio, the biggest underdog
in WWE history,

1632
01:46:52,806 --> 01:46:55,509
weighed in at 175 pounds!

1633
01:47:02,716 --> 01:47:07,821
Very proud United States Champion,
Mysterio in his career,

1634
01:47:07,888 --> 01:47:09,022
a three-time world champ,

1635
01:47:09,089 --> 01:47:12,392
he's held the Intercontinental title
three times,

1636
01:47:12,459 --> 01:47:14,060
the United States Championship,

1637
01:47:14,127 --> 01:47:17,531
he's won a Royal Rumble,
Tag Team title, he's a Hall of Famer,

1638
01:47:17,597 --> 01:47:22,936
and for Logan Paul, Wade, seeking his
first championship here in WWE.

1639
01:47:23,003 --> 01:47:28,508
Well, how do you beat the second-greatest
luchador of all time in Rey Mysterio?

1640
01:47:28,575 --> 01:47:32,045
You take advice
from the greatest luchador of all time,

1641
01:47:32,112 --> 01:47:36,116
Dominik Mysterio, and that is exactly
what Logan Paul did.

1642
01:47:36,183 --> 01:47:40,620
What an incredibly smart,
successful, talented man,

1643
01:47:40,687 --> 01:47:43,623
and he's inching nearer and nearer
to that United States Championship.

1644
01:47:43,690 --> 01:47:45,859
[Cole] I was wondering
where you were going with that.

1645
01:47:45,926 --> 01:47:48,061
I'm surprised they even allow you
to have a microphone

1646
01:47:48,128 --> 01:47:51,431
-when you make statements like that.
-Come on, mate, we're just having a laugh.

1647
01:47:51,498 --> 01:47:54,468
[Cole] Rey Mysterio, in fact,
the greatest luchador of all time

1648
01:47:54,534 --> 01:47:58,205
defending the United States Championship
against Logan Paul in this match tonight.

1649
01:47:58,271 --> 01:48:02,409
If you're Logan Paul, what do you need
to do to take the title from Mysterio?

1650
01:48:02,476 --> 01:48:03,777
[Wade] Well, you know what?

1651
01:48:03,844 --> 01:48:06,413
Rey Mysterio has made his name
in the lucha game.

1652
01:48:06,480 --> 01:48:10,183
So, for my money, Logan Paul
needs to rely on that big punch.

1653
01:48:10,250 --> 01:48:13,320
Logan is clearly
one of the greatest punchers

1654
01:48:13,386 --> 01:48:16,156
we have ever seen in this industry.

1655
01:48:16,223 --> 01:48:19,092
We've seen the damage
he can do with those fists.

1656
01:48:19,159 --> 01:48:21,661
Keep it grounded,
and when you get your chance

1657
01:48:21,728 --> 01:48:23,697
at that one haymaker,
you better take it.

1658
01:48:25,699 --> 01:48:27,234
[Cole] All right, elbow tie-up.

1659
01:48:27,300 --> 01:48:31,471
Logan Paul using his strength
to push Mysterio to the corner.

1660
01:48:31,538 --> 01:48:34,341
Obviously, Mysterio,
the favorite here tonight.

1661
01:48:35,675 --> 01:48:37,310
And that's not gonna sit well with Rey

1662
01:48:37,377 --> 01:48:39,279
if Logan keeps that up
throughout this matchup.

1663
01:48:39,346 --> 01:48:44,017
Well, Rey has had enough mind games,
enough abuse in his career,

1664
01:48:44,084 --> 01:48:47,954
enough mockery for the fact
that he's perhaps vertically challenged

1665
01:48:48,021 --> 01:48:49,723
in terms of most competitors.

1666
01:48:49,789 --> 01:48:51,725
He's not gonna allow that to get to him.

1667
01:48:51,791 --> 01:48:56,062
[Cole] Rey was once a part of one of
the great events here in Saudi Arabia.

1668
01:48:56,129 --> 01:48:58,365
The Greatest Royal Rumble.

1669
01:48:58,431 --> 01:49:00,734
Rey still talks about that experience

1670
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:02,536
as Logan Paul

1671
01:49:03,970 --> 01:49:06,072
goes to work
on the left arm of Rey Mysterio.

1672
01:49:06,139 --> 01:49:09,643
[Wade] Immediately going
for that power game against Mysterio.

1673
01:49:09,709 --> 01:49:11,378
Keep a hold of him.

1674
01:49:11,444 --> 01:49:14,948
Mysterio cannot take flight
and that's his best weapon removed.

1675
01:49:16,216 --> 01:49:18,084
[Cole] Logan Paul now with Mysterio.

1676
01:49:19,219 --> 01:49:20,420
Up high, Rey now.

1677
01:49:21,388 --> 01:49:23,990
-Grounded momentarily.
-Tried an arm drag there,

1678
01:49:24,057 --> 01:49:26,393
but Logan Paul just
too big and strong for it.

1679
01:49:29,529 --> 01:49:31,965
[Cole] Rey now with a couple of kicks
to the midsection.

1680
01:49:33,033 --> 01:49:35,869
Well-placed knee
by the challenger, Logan Paul.

1681
01:49:35,936 --> 01:49:37,504
Rey up over the top.

1682
01:49:37,571 --> 01:49:39,906
Paul, though,
able to floor Rey momentarily.

1683
01:49:41,841 --> 01:49:43,476
And Mysterio!

1684
01:49:44,511 --> 01:49:46,012
Paul missed with a kick.

1685
01:49:47,013 --> 01:49:48,515
Rey rolls through.

1686
01:49:48,581 --> 01:49:51,117
Logan Paul now getting a taste
of what he's in the ring against.

1687
01:49:51,184 --> 01:49:54,087
[Wade] Yeah, but he's also got
that long-ranging physique

1688
01:49:54,154 --> 01:49:56,256
that's gonna help him out
when it comes to strikes.

1689
01:49:56,323 --> 01:49:59,159
Like that kick we just saw
to the midsection of Rey Mysterio.

1690
01:49:59,225 --> 01:50:01,461
[Cole] Elbow caught, Paul on the nose,
and then a boot.

1691
01:50:01,528 --> 01:50:04,064
Now, the United States Champion
from the second rope,

1692
01:50:04,130 --> 01:50:06,800
down goes Logan Paul,
sent into the corner.

1693
01:50:06,866 --> 01:50:10,003
[Wade] It's again that Luchador
style of Rey Mysterio,

1694
01:50:10,070 --> 01:50:12,305
giving him the upper hand
in the early goings here.

1695
01:50:12,372 --> 01:50:15,542
[Cole] And it looked like Rey was going
for some sort of submission move

1696
01:50:15,608 --> 01:50:18,545
before Logan Paul
scooted out of harm's way.

1697
01:50:18,612 --> 01:50:19,679
One!

1698
01:50:21,114 --> 01:50:22,115
Two!

1699
01:50:23,984 --> 01:50:25,352
Three!

1700
01:50:25,418 --> 01:50:27,687
[Cole] Don't often see
Rey use a submission.

1701
01:50:27,754 --> 01:50:31,257
So perhaps looking to take Logan
off guard in this match.

1702
01:50:31,324 --> 01:50:34,027
[Wade] Logan Paul
is an expert in the fight game.

1703
01:50:34,094 --> 01:50:35,462
He knows when to go on attack,

1704
01:50:35,528 --> 01:50:38,898
and he knows more importantly
when to go on defense.

1705
01:50:38,965 --> 01:50:41,468
And that's exactly the strategy
he had to take there.

1706
01:50:42,535 --> 01:50:46,272
Dipped down by Logan Paul
into a waist lock on Mysterio.

1707
01:50:47,674 --> 01:50:50,744
Logan a student of the game,
there's no doubt about that.

1708
01:50:50,810 --> 01:50:52,579
Works hard at his craft.

1709
01:50:52,646 --> 01:50:56,883
[Wade] He did a nice back elbow there
to Rey Mysterio, rocking the Luchador.

1710
01:50:56,950 --> 01:50:59,486
[Cole] Leap frog.
The athleticism of Logan.

1711
01:50:59,552 --> 01:51:01,354
Ducks underneath.

1712
01:51:01,421 --> 01:51:03,556
Mysterio able to hang on.

1713
01:51:03,623 --> 01:51:05,725
[cheers and applause]

1714
01:51:05,792 --> 01:51:09,195
[Cole] Rey Mysterio can play mind games
with the best of them as well.

1715
01:51:09,262 --> 01:51:11,297
We've seen that over the years.

1716
01:51:11,364 --> 01:51:13,833
[Wade] We know Logan Paul
can be a hot head too,

1717
01:51:13,900 --> 01:51:16,336
and that will force him
to make some errors.

1718
01:51:16,403 --> 01:51:20,707
[Cole] And Mysterio sends Paul
to the 619 position.

1719
01:51:20,774 --> 01:51:23,276
[Wade] Finish this one early.
What a big statement that'll be.

1720
01:51:23,343 --> 01:51:25,545
[Cole] Logan Paul
launching Rey out to the apron.

1721
01:51:25,612 --> 01:51:28,314
Again, the tremendous balance of Rey
with a shot to the kidney.

1722
01:51:28,381 --> 01:51:31,017
And now a right hand.
Logan Paul.

1723
01:51:31,084 --> 01:51:33,520
-[Wade] Shot to the kidney.
-[Cole] Something started here.

1724
01:51:33,586 --> 01:51:34,854
[Wade] Shot to the kidney.

1725
01:51:34,921 --> 01:51:37,257
Highly illegal in boxing,
but perfectly fine in our ring.

1726
01:51:37,323 --> 01:51:40,493
[Cole] Cross body. Paul grabs him though,
and he's able to roll through.

1727
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:42,195
Showing the power now.

1728
01:51:43,296 --> 01:51:46,199
Lifting Mysterio on his arms
and dropping him into the corner.

1729
01:51:49,602 --> 01:51:51,438
Rolling through on Mysterio.

1730
01:51:51,504 --> 01:51:53,339
[Wade] He's a Fit Finlay.
He has been studying.

1731
01:51:53,406 --> 01:51:57,677
[Cole] There's a nice
springboard moonsault, hook to the leg.

1732
01:51:57,744 --> 01:52:00,246
Mysterio gets the shoulder up.

1733
01:52:00,313 --> 01:52:05,151
[Wade] We've all seen what Logan Paul
has done against the likes of Ricochet.

1734
01:52:05,218 --> 01:52:07,654
And clearly,
aside from being a big slugger,

1735
01:52:07,721 --> 01:52:11,658
he can go toe-to-toe with some
of the best players in the world.

1736
01:52:11,724 --> 01:52:15,261
[Cole] He did say after tonight
we'd be calling him Lucha Logan.

1737
01:52:16,563 --> 01:52:20,433
[Wade] If he wins the title against this
great Luchador, we might have to do that.

1738
01:52:20,500 --> 01:52:24,070
Now going back.
Reverting to type with those strikes.

1739
01:52:24,137 --> 01:52:26,906
[Cole] Yeah,
the boxing skills of Logan Paul.

1740
01:52:26,973 --> 01:52:28,775
The body shots to Mysterio in the corner.

1741
01:52:28,842 --> 01:52:31,144
[Wade] Mysterio just didn't have
a block for that.

1742
01:52:31,211 --> 01:52:33,413
He's not used to those kind of strikes
in the corner.

1743
01:52:34,514 --> 01:52:37,117
[Cole] Again, Logan Paul now.
The combination.

1744
01:52:38,251 --> 01:52:40,487
Direct to the ribs
and midsection of Mysterio.

1745
01:52:43,890 --> 01:52:46,693
Sends Rey into the corner.
Now, Rey just collapses.

1746
01:52:46,759 --> 01:52:49,362
[Wade] Yeah, and that was less
about that buckle that Rey took.

1747
01:52:49,429 --> 01:52:51,965
I'm sure that was painful.
But those body shots.

1748
01:52:52,031 --> 01:52:56,870
Those 10 or 12 of them peppering
the midsection of Rey prior to that.

1749
01:52:56,936 --> 01:52:59,339
And that has just knocked the stuffing
out of Rey Mysterio.

1750
01:52:59,405 --> 01:53:01,241
[Cole] You're a former
Bare Knuckle Champion.

1751
01:53:01,307 --> 01:53:02,542
You know something about that.

1752
01:53:02,609 --> 01:53:05,879
[Wade] No, everyone used to punch me in
the nose. That explains the shape of it.

1753
01:53:09,482 --> 01:53:11,651
[Cole] Paul dragging Rey back to his feet.

1754
01:53:11,718 --> 01:53:14,988
This pace right now
definitely favors Logan Paul.

1755
01:53:15,054 --> 01:53:18,892
[Wade] He's done the exact right thing.
He's knocking the stuffing of Rey early.

1756
01:53:18,958 --> 01:53:20,860
Slowing this one down.

1757
01:53:20,927 --> 01:53:22,595
[Cole] Waist lock takedown with authority.

1758
01:53:22,662 --> 01:53:26,733
And continues to control Rey.
Don't allow Rey to pick up the pace.

1759
01:53:26,799 --> 01:53:29,035
Start flying around the ring.
Paul knows that.

1760
01:53:29,102 --> 01:53:30,670
And he's grounded Mysterio.

1761
01:53:35,942 --> 01:53:39,779
[Wade] Rey's point coming into this match.
He wanted to humble Logan Paul.

1762
01:53:39,846 --> 01:53:41,681
But that might be backfiring here.

1763
01:53:49,355 --> 01:53:51,958
[Cole] WWE fans
looking to rally Mysterio.

1764
01:53:54,961 --> 01:53:59,165
That was smart. Rey just stomping
on the toe of Logan Paul.

1765
01:53:59,232 --> 01:54:01,167
[Wade] Again, with a boxing background,

1766
01:54:01,234 --> 01:54:03,303
you don't have to worry
about that kind of abuse.

1767
01:54:10,343 --> 01:54:12,612
[Cole] Ah, tilt-a-whirl backbreaker
by Paul.

1768
01:54:12,679 --> 01:54:15,782
Cover to win the United States title.
And Mysterio kicks at two.

1769
01:54:15,848 --> 01:54:17,617
[Wade] Yeah, and hats off to Logan Paul.

1770
01:54:17,684 --> 01:54:19,686
These are elements of his game
that we didn't see

1771
01:54:19,752 --> 01:54:24,424
in his early efforts here in WWE.
Shows he has been studying.

1772
01:54:24,490 --> 01:54:26,159
He's been working on his technique.

1773
01:54:26,226 --> 01:54:28,194
And pulling out moves
like this tilt-a-whirl here.

1774
01:54:28,261 --> 01:54:30,730
That is really impressive
from The Maverick.

1775
01:54:30,797 --> 01:54:34,033
Yeah, we talked about it earlier.
Logan Paul, a student of the game.

1776
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:36,336
He really dedicates himself to the craft.

1777
01:54:36,402 --> 01:54:39,873
He's learning each and every time.
He's evolving every time he's in the ring.

1778
01:54:41,741 --> 01:54:44,377
You're seeing that tonight
with Rey Mysterio.

1779
01:54:44,444 --> 01:54:48,748
And now Logan Paul,
pressing Mysterio above his head.

1780
01:54:48,815 --> 01:54:52,885
[Wade] Nice in-ring workout
there for Logan Paul.

1781
01:54:52,952 --> 01:54:54,254
Is he now The Ultimate Warrior.

1782
01:54:55,655 --> 01:54:58,424
[Cole] Again, student of the game
and of history.

1783
01:54:58,491 --> 01:55:02,161
The Big Warrior Splash
and Mysterio gets the shoulder up.

1784
01:55:02,228 --> 01:55:05,298
And we've seen Logan Paul
do that in the past.

1785
01:55:05,365 --> 01:55:07,667
Dig down deep
in some of the Hall of Famers.

1786
01:55:07,734 --> 01:55:11,404
[Wade] Yeah, well if you want to
get to the top in this industry,

1787
01:55:11,471 --> 01:55:13,773
the fastest route you can
take to get there,

1788
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:16,509
is to emulate some of the greats.

1789
01:55:16,576 --> 01:55:20,613
Go through that playbook of some
Hall of Famers, like The Ultimate Warrior.

1790
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:22,915
[Cole] Study and film
is what it's all about.

1791
01:55:26,719 --> 01:55:28,454
[Wade] You might not like him,

1792
01:55:28,521 --> 01:55:30,990
but you do have
to respect the work he puts in.

1793
01:55:31,057 --> 01:55:32,392
[Cole] No doubt about it.

1794
01:55:32,458 --> 01:55:35,662
[Wade] It doesn't matter if it's boxing,
social media,

1795
01:55:35,728 --> 01:55:38,331
the world of energy drinks,
or indeed here in WWE.

1796
01:55:38,398 --> 01:55:40,533
This guy is out to out-work the best.

1797
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:43,469
[Cole] And now a bear hug
applied by Logan Paul.

1798
01:55:44,837 --> 01:55:48,107
And now slinging Mysterio around.

1799
01:55:49,442 --> 01:55:51,244
And wrestling him down to the mat.

1800
01:55:51,311 --> 01:55:53,313
[Wade] Yeah, Mysterio came in here

1801
01:55:53,379 --> 01:55:56,582
hoping to end this one early,
but it's not happening.

1802
01:55:56,649 --> 01:56:00,153
It's getting worse as the minutes tick by
for the Champ.

1803
01:56:01,955 --> 01:56:03,122
[Rey screams]

1804
01:56:10,463 --> 01:56:15,601
[Wade] May even be a look of panic
in the eyes of Rey Mysterio at this point.

1805
01:56:15,668 --> 01:56:18,104
[Cole] And Mysterio trying to fight back.

1806
01:56:18,171 --> 01:56:22,809
And Logan Paul now burying a knee
in the midsection of Mysterio.

1807
01:56:24,544 --> 01:56:26,012
And now, look at Logan Paul.

1808
01:56:26,079 --> 01:56:29,916
Logan Paul now,
with that shoulder backbreaker.

1809
01:56:29,982 --> 01:56:31,517
We saw the bear hug earlier.

1810
01:56:31,584 --> 01:56:36,122
This is shades of the Hall of Famer
Bruno Sammartino by Logan Paul.

1811
01:56:36,189 --> 01:56:41,361
-As he slings Logan Paul to the corner.
-Rey just cannot back it up.

1812
01:56:41,427 --> 01:56:45,765
He's been so exploited in that midsection.
So softened up.

1813
01:56:45,832 --> 01:56:48,101
[Cole] And now Rey
driven into the corner by Logan.

1814
01:56:48,167 --> 01:56:53,706
And Logan Paul now burying the shoulder
into the midsection of Mysterio.

1815
01:56:53,773 --> 01:56:59,178
[Wade] Well, Logan Paul goes from showman
to vicious in the blink of an eye.

1816
01:57:04,851 --> 01:57:05,885
Get up!

1817
01:57:07,487 --> 01:57:12,725
[Wade] Can you imagine Logan Paul
creating headlines around the world

1818
01:57:12,792 --> 01:57:15,361
with that glimmering
United States Championship

1819
01:57:15,428 --> 01:57:16,596
around his waist?

1820
01:57:16,662 --> 01:57:19,565
[Cole] He'd be talking about it
in his podcast, going everywhere with it.

1821
01:57:19,632 --> 01:57:21,701
Hammering away on the back
of Rey Mysterio's neck.

1822
01:57:21,768 --> 01:57:24,704
Logan Paul has Mysterio
in trouble in the corner.

1823
01:57:24,771 --> 01:57:27,707
[Wade] Press are like vultures
around Logan Paul. Oh, no!

1824
01:57:27,774 --> 01:57:31,544
[Cole] Shoulder first to the post.
And now Mysterio's got an opportunity.

1825
01:57:31,611 --> 01:57:34,414
[Wade] Well, you don't get abuse
like that in a boxing ring.

1826
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,749
And I don't know
how you can throw that big haymaker

1827
01:57:36,816 --> 01:57:38,351
if you've just separated a shoulder.

1828
01:57:38,418 --> 01:57:39,952
And now, Mysterio gonna fly.

1829
01:57:40,019 --> 01:57:43,022
Suicide dive.
Down goes Logan Paul.

1830
01:57:43,089 --> 01:57:45,892
And Paul's in trouble
for the first time in this match.

1831
01:57:45,958 --> 01:57:48,928
Rey Mysterio building momentum now

1832
01:57:48,995 --> 01:57:51,297
with the United States Championship
on the line.

1833
01:57:52,865 --> 01:57:55,568
[Wade] There's levels to this game.

1834
01:57:55,635 --> 01:58:01,140
And Rey Mysterio is about to dig deep
into his 25 plus years at the top.

1835
01:58:01,207 --> 01:58:04,844
And those put him at a level unsurpassed
by almost anybody.

1836
01:58:04,911 --> 01:58:07,046
[Cole] And now, Mysterio,
heading up to the top rope.

1837
01:58:07,113 --> 01:58:10,850
Logan Paul back to his feet.
Rey Mysterio now. Oh, down goes Paul.

1838
01:58:10,917 --> 01:58:15,621
Massive senton from the top rope.
Springboard. Cross body.

1839
01:58:15,688 --> 01:58:20,026
Lateral press. To retain.
And a kick-out by Paul.

1840
01:58:21,494 --> 01:58:24,464
[Wade] Lucha Logan
is starting to struggle here.

1841
01:58:25,598 --> 01:58:29,969
[Cole] Roll up by Mysterio to retain.
And Logan kicks at two.

1842
01:58:31,871 --> 01:58:33,639
And now, Mysterio.

1843
01:58:35,007 --> 01:58:36,409
Another two count.

1844
01:58:37,677 --> 01:58:41,280
[Wade] The acid dread
pumping through the veins of Logan Paul.

1845
01:58:41,347 --> 01:58:44,684
[Cole] Shoulders down again.
Can Rey retain? Logan kicks at two.

1846
01:58:44,750 --> 01:58:47,053
[Wade] Logan looked like
he had this one in the bag.

1847
01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:49,922
But that show boating
just allowed a window

1848
01:58:49,989 --> 01:58:52,725
for Rey Mysterio to turn the tide.

1849
01:58:55,862 --> 01:58:59,398
[Cole] This is what Rey Mysterio
is looking for

1850
01:58:59,465 --> 01:59:04,036
to try to pick up the pace as we look on
from the Mohammed Abdo Arena,

1851
01:59:04,103 --> 01:59:07,974
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, sold out tonight.
WWE Crown Jewel.

1852
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:12,812
Mysterio's United States Championship is
on the line against Logan Paul.

1853
01:59:12,879 --> 01:59:15,648
[Wade] This is the point in the match
where perhaps--

1854
01:59:15,715 --> 01:59:17,884
Nice reversal there from Logan Paul.

1855
01:59:17,950 --> 01:59:20,052
As I was about to say,
being the bigger man

1856
01:59:20,119 --> 01:59:22,855
this late in the matchup
can sometimes be a big hindrance.

1857
01:59:22,922 --> 01:59:25,291
But that second wind.

1858
01:59:25,358 --> 01:59:27,293
[Cole] Logan Paul with the clothesline.

1859
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:30,363
Hook of the leg on Mysterio.
And a kick-out.

1860
01:59:30,429 --> 01:59:32,565
[Wade] Nice momentum move
from Logan Paul.

1861
01:59:32,632 --> 01:59:33,866
[Cole] Watch this. Watch this.

1862
01:59:33,933 --> 01:59:36,536
But his knee buckles just a bit.
And that may have cost him.

1863
01:59:36,602 --> 01:59:38,938
May not have got
all of the clothesline, Wade.

1864
01:59:39,005 --> 01:59:40,406
And it allowed Rey to kick out.

1865
01:59:40,473 --> 01:59:42,608
[Wade] There was panic in the eyes
of Logan Paul here.

1866
01:59:42,675 --> 01:59:44,477
If you remember 12 months ago
at Crown Jewel,

1867
01:59:44,544 --> 01:59:47,813
he injured a knee in that matchup
you mentioned earlier

1868
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,917
with Roman Reigns.
Has he tweaked it again?

1869
01:59:50,983 --> 01:59:53,486
Or is he gonna be able
to shrug this off?

1870
01:59:53,553 --> 01:59:55,621
[Cole] And the slingshot clothesline

1871
01:59:55,688 --> 01:59:58,858
from Logan Paul.
Almost put Mysterio away.

1872
02:00:01,060 --> 02:00:02,061
And now...

1873
02:00:03,296 --> 02:00:06,465
[Wade] Here we go, Cole. We talked
about this. It's the haymaker.

1874
02:00:06,532 --> 02:00:11,003
[Cole] And the titanium loaded right hand
of Logan Paul misses wildly.

1875
02:00:11,804 --> 02:00:15,241
And now, Rey Mysterio wrestles Logan
to the center of the ring.

1876
02:00:15,308 --> 02:00:19,078
Looking for the crossface now,
on Logan Paul. Rey's got him locked in.

1877
02:00:19,145 --> 02:00:22,014
[Wade] And it's attacking that shoulder
that Logan Paul smashed

1878
02:00:22,081 --> 02:00:24,183
against the ring post
a couple of minutes ago.

1879
02:00:24,250 --> 02:00:26,252
[Cole] And this is deep water
for Logan Paul.

1880
02:00:26,319 --> 02:00:28,854
He's never been in a position before,
I don't believe,

1881
02:00:28,921 --> 02:00:33,059
to have to try to submit or tap out.
And Mysterio's got Logan Paul.

1882
02:00:33,125 --> 02:00:35,595
Trying to stretch and use his long body.

1883
02:00:35,661 --> 02:00:38,864
To make it to the bottom rope
to force a break. Which he does.

1884
02:00:38,931 --> 02:00:41,334
[Wade] Yeah, but is the damage done?
There's no training.

1885
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:44,203
There's no background in the world
that will prepare you

1886
02:00:44,270 --> 02:00:46,572
for the first time
you're in a hold like that.

1887
02:00:52,712 --> 02:00:56,816
But make no mistake. Rey Mysterio
has been under the cosh tonight.

1888
02:00:58,217 --> 02:01:01,821
His body is hurting in a way
even he wasn't expecting.

1889
02:01:03,489 --> 02:01:07,360
[Cole] Yeah, the offense by Logan Paul.
Oh, my goodness. Logan Paul.

1890
02:01:07,426 --> 02:01:11,797
Grabbing Mysterio out of mid-air.
Delivering a power slam.

1891
02:01:11,864 --> 02:01:15,701
And a kick-out by Rey.
That was almost a disaster.

1892
02:01:15,768 --> 02:01:20,339
[Wade] Mysterio almost got
tombstone pile driven into the mat there.

1893
02:01:20,406 --> 02:01:23,909
Almost head first, spiked down.

1894
02:01:23,976 --> 02:01:25,444
[Cole] Logan Paul

1895
02:01:26,979 --> 02:01:31,183
grabbing Mysterio out of mid air
and then, delivering the power slam.

1896
02:01:31,250 --> 02:01:33,452
[Wade] And Rey looks like
he's been knocked silly.

1897
02:01:35,254 --> 02:01:36,856
Come on, Rey, get up.

1898
02:01:39,992 --> 02:01:41,727
We're going up.

1899
02:01:41,794 --> 02:01:47,233
[Cole] And now Logan Paul
dragging Rey Mysterio toward the top rope.

1900
02:01:47,299 --> 02:01:49,435
Trash talking as always.

1901
02:01:49,502 --> 02:01:53,272
[Wade] Going high risk and
that is the realm of Rey Mysterio.

1902
02:01:53,339 --> 02:01:56,809
It's a brave strategy and
it doesn't look like it's gonna pay off.

1903
02:01:56,876 --> 02:02:00,179
[Cole] Logan Paul knocked down
back into the ring. Now Rey Mysterio.

1904
02:02:00,246 --> 02:02:03,749
He's at home up there.

1905
02:02:03,816 --> 02:02:05,618
Logan Paul though
gonna meet him there.

1906
02:02:08,421 --> 02:02:10,389
[Wade] Rey Mysterio signaling
for those big moves.

1907
02:02:10,456 --> 02:02:12,858
He just doesn't have it in his body
to pull him up.

1908
02:02:12,925 --> 02:02:14,060
[Cole] Oh, my goodness.

1909
02:02:14,126 --> 02:02:18,397
A fall away slam into a cover by Paul
and Mysterio kicked out.

1910
02:02:18,464 --> 02:02:22,501
[Wade] A moonsault fall away slam.
That is absolutely ridiculous.

1911
02:02:22,568 --> 02:02:28,741
The risk to pull a maneuver like that off
this deep into a match up.

1912
02:02:29,809 --> 02:02:33,979
But Logan Paul tried it. It paid off.
And it almost got the victory.

1913
02:02:34,046 --> 02:02:37,450
[Cole] Look at that. It was a fall away
slam. But as Wade mentioned,

1914
02:02:37,516 --> 02:02:40,953
into a moonsault by Logan Paul.

1915
02:02:41,020 --> 02:02:44,457
Who went into a pinning combination
on Mysterio.

1916
02:02:44,523 --> 02:02:47,226
-Who is still able to kick-out.
-[Wade] And I'll tell you this.

1917
02:02:47,293 --> 02:02:50,696
I've been around the absolute best
in this industry for many years.

1918
02:02:50,763 --> 02:02:55,768
I've maybe met three guys capable of
pulling that move off. Now make it four.

1919
02:02:55,835 --> 02:02:58,838
[Cole] Logan Paul.
He made no bones about it.

1920
02:02:58,904 --> 02:03:02,041
The importance of him to win the
prestigious United States Championship.

1921
02:03:02,108 --> 02:03:06,345
Now mocking Eddie Guerrero.
Rey Mysterio's longtime friend.

1922
02:03:07,813 --> 02:03:10,116
Had to roll through.
Logan Paul now.

1923
02:03:10,182 --> 02:03:13,052
Mysterio sends Paul into the second rope.

1924
02:03:13,119 --> 02:03:15,921
[Wade] Exactly where you don't want to be.

1925
02:03:15,988 --> 02:03:18,524
[Cole] And Logan Paul blocked.

1926
02:03:18,591 --> 02:03:21,794
[Wade] Instinctive grab from Logan Paul.

1927
02:03:25,030 --> 02:03:27,032
[Cole] That was Mysterio's opportunity.

1928
02:03:27,099 --> 02:03:30,402
Logan Paul now.
Mysterio ducked underneath.

1929
02:03:32,705 --> 02:03:34,340
Rey with a kick to the ear.

1930
02:03:34,406 --> 02:03:39,545
[Wade] Your reactions will never be faster
than those of Rey Mysterio.

1931
02:03:39,612 --> 02:03:42,181
[Cole] Rey. Logan Paul, though.

1932
02:03:42,248 --> 02:03:45,985
Holding on as Mysterio's on the top rope.

1933
02:03:50,322 --> 02:03:52,224
Oh, no, this is not gonna be good.

1934
02:03:52,291 --> 02:03:54,627
[Wade] Electric chair
perhaps being attempted here.

1935
02:03:54,693 --> 02:03:56,729
[Cole] This is not gonna be good.

1936
02:03:56,796 --> 02:04:00,332
From way up above the ring is
Rey Mysterio. Turns him around.

1937
02:04:00,399 --> 02:04:01,767
Into a sunset bomb.

1938
02:04:01,834 --> 02:04:06,071
[Wade] Launching the carcass of Logan Paul
across the ring.

1939
02:04:06,138 --> 02:04:07,606
[Cole] And now Mysterio.

1940
02:04:07,673 --> 02:04:10,009
-Oh, look at Mysterio.
-[Wade] Code Red.

1941
02:04:10,075 --> 02:04:12,411
[Cole] Almost had him and a kick-out.

1942
02:04:12,478 --> 02:04:17,850
That Code Red powerbomb shows
the ever evolving offense of Rey Mysterio.

1943
02:04:17,917 --> 02:04:22,455
[Wade] That's a move he's taken from
his LWO running buddy Zelina Vega

1944
02:04:22,521 --> 02:04:25,057
-who has perfected that but again...
-[Cole] Look at this.

1945
02:04:25,124 --> 02:04:28,427
That's one of those fools
from Logan Paul's entourage.

1946
02:04:28,494 --> 02:04:31,263
And he just handed Logan Paul
brass knuckles.

1947
02:04:31,330 --> 02:04:34,967
[Wade] Well, that's how he beat Ricochet
at SummerSlam.

1948
02:04:35,034 --> 02:04:38,504
[Cole] And again,
one of Logan Paul's cronies

1949
02:04:38,571 --> 02:04:41,907
walking out here to the ring and handed
the brass knuckles to Logan Paul

1950
02:04:41,974 --> 02:04:43,742
and Mysterio has no idea.

1951
02:04:43,809 --> 02:04:45,578
[Wade] Will lightning struck twice?

1952
02:04:45,644 --> 02:04:47,680
[Cole] Well, there go the brass knuckles.

1953
02:04:47,746 --> 02:04:51,617
[Wade] And there go the hopes
of Logan Paul's victory...

1954
02:04:51,684 --> 02:04:55,120
[Cole] Well, maybe not, because this goof
is still roaming around at ringside.

1955
02:04:55,187 --> 02:04:57,923
Somebody get this guy out of here.
Bring out security!

1956
02:05:05,097 --> 02:05:09,902
Not so fast! Santos Escobar
of Mysterio's LWO!

1957
02:05:09,969 --> 02:05:13,572
[Wade] The Emperor of Lucha Libre
saves the day.

1958
02:05:16,375 --> 02:05:18,444
[Cole] And I think Escobar
may make this man pay.

1959
02:05:18,510 --> 02:05:20,579
[Wade] This guy better start running.

1960
02:05:21,547 --> 02:05:24,483
You do not want to fight
with Santos Escobar.

1961
02:05:24,550 --> 02:05:25,918
[Cole] Escobar in pursuit.

1962
02:05:27,219 --> 02:05:30,356
Chasing that jerk out of the arena.
And now Logan Paul!

1963
02:05:31,657 --> 02:05:34,727
Mysterio! Oh, wait a minute!
Paul got the brass knuckles!

1964
02:05:34,793 --> 02:05:37,029
The brass knuckles are left on the apron!

1965
02:05:37,096 --> 02:05:40,699
Mysterio has no idea!
619 connecting though!

1966
02:05:40,766 --> 02:05:44,403
Mysterio with an opportunity to put--
Oh, my goodness!

1967
02:05:44,470 --> 02:05:47,373
Knockout punch with the brass knuckles!

1968
02:05:47,439 --> 02:05:51,210
Logan Paul is the United States Champion!

1969
02:05:51,277 --> 02:05:52,745
[Rome] Here's your winner

1970
02:05:52,811 --> 02:05:58,083
and new United States Champion...

1971
02:05:59,118 --> 02:06:02,955
Logan Paul!

1972
02:06:03,022 --> 02:06:06,725
[Cole] With one right hand
full of brass knuckles!

1973
02:06:06,792 --> 02:06:13,465
"The Maverick" Logan Paul has radically
changed the complexion of WWE!

1974
02:06:15,534 --> 02:06:18,704
This moment will shake WWE

1975
02:06:18,771 --> 02:06:23,509
and social media
around the world to its core!

1976
02:06:23,576 --> 02:06:27,813
[Wade] As filthy a victory
as you could ever imagine!

1977
02:06:29,748 --> 02:06:32,451
But by any means necessary!

1978
02:06:39,792 --> 02:06:45,698
[Cole] Logan Paul wins
his first championship in WWE!

1979
02:06:46,665 --> 02:06:49,134
[Wade] The end justifies the means!

1980
02:06:50,102 --> 02:06:54,206
And the end is
that United States Championship

1981
02:06:54,273 --> 02:06:57,209
on the shoulder
of "The Maverick" Logan Paul!

1982
02:06:59,144 --> 02:07:01,714
[Cole] Well, look what Logan found
right at the last minute!

1983
02:07:01,780 --> 02:07:06,151
-The brass knuckles!
-As fortuitous as you would like!

1984
02:07:06,218 --> 02:07:11,090
And just when Rey Mysterio
connected with the signature 619

1985
02:07:12,291 --> 02:07:17,629
that is where The Maverick
pounds brass meets skull!

1986
02:07:17,696 --> 02:07:20,566
And we've got ourselves a new champion!

1987
02:07:21,900 --> 02:07:23,168
[bell dings]

1988
02:07:27,606 --> 02:07:29,274
[Cole] Logan Paul celebrating!

1989
02:07:30,175 --> 02:07:32,511
Holding the championship
that has been held

1990
02:07:32,578 --> 02:07:37,583
by dozens of WWE Hall of Famers
over the years!

1991
02:07:39,418 --> 02:07:42,254
[Wade] The tabloids
are about to descend like vultures

1992
02:07:42,321 --> 02:07:44,289
over this image right here!

1993
02:07:48,327 --> 02:07:52,998
[Cole] Much to the chagrin
of a very proud Rey Mysterio!

1994
02:07:54,266 --> 02:07:57,436
Logan Paul is the new--

1995
02:07:57,503 --> 02:08:00,439
You're a legend Rey!
I just do what I had to do, my man!

1996
02:08:02,408 --> 02:08:04,243
-You know what you did.
-I don't know--

1997
02:08:04,309 --> 02:08:06,278
What are you talking about?
I was fair and square.

1998
02:08:06,345 --> 02:08:09,014
-You know what you did.
-You're a legend, Rey, and I love you!

1999
02:08:09,081 --> 02:08:11,183
[Wade] Yeah, those words
ring a little hollow for me!

2000
02:08:11,250 --> 02:08:12,751
"You are a legend. I love you."

2001
02:08:14,620 --> 02:08:18,724
You punched him in the face
with brass knuckles, Logan Paul!

2002
02:08:18,791 --> 02:08:20,526
[Cole] Logan Paul celebrates

2003
02:08:20,592 --> 02:08:24,329
as the new United States Champion.

2004
02:08:29,068 --> 02:08:33,238
Well, you have to wonder if Logan Paul
will still hold the United States Title

2005
02:08:33,305 --> 02:08:38,377
as the WWE heads down under for
the first time in what will be six years.

2006
02:08:38,444 --> 02:08:42,481
The WWE is coming to Australia,
this time Optus Stadium in Perth

2007
02:08:42,548 --> 02:08:46,452
will be home to the biggest
WWE Elimination Chamber event ever.

2008
02:08:46,518 --> 02:08:50,422
The final premium
live event before WrestleMania.

2009
02:08:50,489 --> 02:08:54,426
The stadium that has hosted the likes of
Taylor Swift, Eminem, U2, and many more

2010
02:08:54,493 --> 02:08:57,996
now hosts one of the most
important nights of the year.

2011
02:08:58,063 --> 02:09:01,934
Prepare to be wowed

2012

2013
02:09:03,569 --> 02:09:08,207
on the Western Australian coast

2014
02:09:08,273 --> 02:09:11,043
It comes Saturday, February 24th
at Optus Stadium.

02:09:29,695 --> 02:09:34,833
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome "The EST of WWE"

2019
02:09:34,900 --> 02:09:36,869
Bianca Belair.

2020
02:09:36,935 --> 02:09:38,437
[crowd cheering]

2021
02:09:38,504 --> 02:09:43,375
Bianca, in just moments, you'll step into
the ring with IYO SKY for the first time

2022
02:09:43,442 --> 02:09:48,881
since she cashed in that Money in the Bank
contract and defeated you at SummerSlam.

2023
02:09:48,947 --> 02:09:50,682
And I could not be more excited.

2024
02:09:50,749 --> 02:09:52,317
Look, IYO SKY and Damage CTRL,

2025
02:09:52,384 --> 02:09:55,120
they tried to do everything
that they could to end my career.

2026
02:09:55,187 --> 02:09:57,122
They put me on the shelf for months.

2027
02:09:57,189 --> 02:09:59,758
And while they were
kee-kee-keeing and gloating about it,

2028
02:09:59,825 --> 02:10:02,127
I was training and I was
preparing for vengeance.

2029
02:10:02,194 --> 02:10:04,363
I mean, you saw what I did
to Bayley last night, right?

2030
02:10:04,429 --> 02:10:05,464
-Yeah.
-Uh-huh, uh-huh.

2031
02:10:05,531 --> 02:10:07,499
See, that was only phase one.

2032
02:10:07,566 --> 02:10:12,137
Now we're on to phase two,
which is just me and IYO.

2033
02:10:12,204 --> 02:10:16,008
No surprises, no distractions,
nobody to come out there and help her.

2034
02:10:16,074 --> 02:10:17,876
She gonna have to fight
this one on her own.

2035
02:10:17,943 --> 02:10:20,012
So tonight, I'm gonna get my lick back.

2036
02:10:20,078 --> 02:10:21,313
I'm gonna get some payback.

2037
02:10:21,380 --> 02:10:24,316
And best of all,
I'm gonna get my title back.

2038
02:10:24,383 --> 02:10:27,886
♪ I'm on my own against the world ♪

2039
02:10:27,953 --> 02:10:30,189
[Bianca's theme song playing]

2040
02:10:30,255 --> 02:10:31,857
[Cole] Well, make no bones about it,

2041
02:10:31,924 --> 02:10:37,462
Bianca Belair has revenge on her mind
here tonight at Crown Jewel.

2042
02:10:45,270 --> 02:10:47,573
Consumed with a prospect of vengeance,

2043
02:10:47,639 --> 02:10:53,545
a score that will not be settled
until she's got even with Damage CTRL

2044
02:10:53,612 --> 02:10:59,151
and when she's reclaimed what
she sees as her championship.

2045
02:10:59,218 --> 02:11:03,355
[Cole] Well, there's no doubt it was back
in SummerSlam, Bianca Belair won a--

2046
02:11:04,923 --> 02:11:07,693
Damage CTRL would injure her knee.

2047
02:11:07,759 --> 02:11:11,964
IYO SKY would cash in Money in the Bank
to become the champion.

2048
02:11:12,030 --> 02:11:14,366
So what did Bianca do last night
on Friday Night SmackDown?

2049
02:11:14,433 --> 02:11:18,170
She put Bayley through
our announce table, Wade,

2050
02:11:18,237 --> 02:11:21,240
to make sure that Damage CTRL's
taken out of the equation in this match.

2051
02:11:21,306 --> 02:11:24,443
Not even with one member of Damage CTRL,

2052
02:11:24,509 --> 02:11:27,879
perhaps member number two
gets the same treatment tonight.

2053
02:11:37,289 --> 02:11:42,628
[Cole] Bianca and IYO, they had
a classic match back at WWE Backlash

2054
02:11:42,694 --> 02:11:45,497
in San Juan, Puerto Rico
earlier this year.

2055
02:11:45,564 --> 02:11:48,367
[IYO SKY's theme song playing]

2056
02:12:01,847 --> 02:12:06,885
[Cole] And the current
WWE Women's Champion, IYO SKY,

2057
02:12:06,952 --> 02:12:11,023
who has fought off all challengers,
Wade, over the past couple of months.

2058
02:12:11,089 --> 02:12:13,759
Yeah, it always amuses me
when the peanut gallery

2059
02:12:13,825 --> 02:12:18,030
and the naysayers take little pot shots
at people who win championships

2060
02:12:18,096 --> 02:12:22,601
via the Money in the Bank contract cash-in
as if it's not a legitimate reign.

2061
02:12:22,668 --> 02:12:24,069
When you're someone like IYO SKY,

2062
02:12:24,136 --> 02:12:29,775
and you've beaten the likes of
Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Zelina Vega,

2063
02:12:29,841 --> 02:12:33,378
and let's not forget, you've won
championships all around the world,

2064
02:12:33,445 --> 02:12:38,750
including one of the greatest NXT
Women's Championship reigns of all time.

2065
02:12:38,817 --> 02:12:42,154
You truly have the bona fides
to back it up.

2066
02:12:42,220 --> 02:12:44,289
So if you're coming
with an argument like that,

2067
02:12:44,356 --> 02:12:46,992
that is a bad faith argument
from the word go.

2068
02:12:47,059 --> 02:12:49,261
This is the real deal.

2069
02:12:49,328 --> 02:12:52,230
Bianca Belair knows it as well as anyone.

2070
02:13:00,405 --> 02:13:01,873
[bell dings]

2071
02:13:01,940 --> 02:13:05,510
The following contest
is scheduled for one fall,

2072
02:13:05,577 --> 02:13:06,945
and it is for

2073
02:13:07,012 --> 02:13:12,584
the WWE Women's Championship!

2074
02:13:14,586 --> 02:13:20,759
Introducing first, the challenger
from Knoxville, Tennessee,

2075
02:13:20,826 --> 02:13:25,864
Bianca Belair!

2076
02:13:28,667 --> 02:13:29,835
[crowd cheering]

2077
02:13:29,901 --> 02:13:35,540
Her opponent, representing
Damage CTRL from Tokyo, Japan,

2078
02:13:35,607 --> 02:13:40,178
she is the WWE Women's Champion,

2079
02:13:40,245 --> 02:13:44,049
IYO SKY!

2080
02:13:45,684 --> 02:13:47,786
[cheers and applause]

2081
02:13:47,853 --> 02:13:49,654
[Cole] So let's talk strategy, Wade.

2082
02:13:49,721 --> 02:13:54,860
First, for IYO SKY, she's going up
against a very vengeful Bianca Belair.

2083
02:13:54,926 --> 02:13:56,495
How does she keep the title tonight?

2084
02:13:56,561 --> 02:13:59,598
[Wade] Well, she's the Genius of the Sky
for a reason.

2085
02:13:59,664 --> 02:14:02,034
Never more at home
than when taking flight,

2086
02:14:02,100 --> 02:14:03,735
and she needs to utilize that.

2087
02:14:03,802 --> 02:14:07,572
She simply cannot outpower
someone like Bianca Belair,

2088
02:14:07,639 --> 02:14:10,709
especially a Bianca Belair
with that chip on her shoulder.

2089
02:14:10,776 --> 02:14:15,547
Feeling she was hard done by with
that Money in the Bank contract cash-in,

2090
02:14:15,614 --> 02:14:17,416
of course, the attacks afterwards.

2091
02:14:17,482 --> 02:14:19,451
[Cole] And here we go, Bianca Belair.

2092
02:14:19,518 --> 02:14:22,421
Waist lock take down of IYO SKY
to start things off again.

2093
02:14:22,487 --> 02:14:24,790
Bianca, the more powerful of the two.

2094
02:14:24,856 --> 02:14:29,127
She will look to use that power to try
to win back the championship here tonight.

2095
02:14:29,194 --> 02:14:32,664
[Wade] And there was always going to be
an early storm here from Bianca Belair,

2096
02:14:32,731 --> 02:14:34,366
coming out of the gates hot.

2097
02:14:34,433 --> 02:14:37,769
Pent-up rage from about three months
of sitting on the shelf,

2098
02:14:37,836 --> 02:14:40,071
thanks, in part, to IYO SKY.

2099
02:14:40,138 --> 02:14:42,441
[Cole] If you're IYO, you try
to weather the early storm--

2100
02:14:42,507 --> 02:14:45,410
and kick to the midsection
by the champion, IYO SKY.

2101
02:14:45,477 --> 02:14:49,648
Bianca Belair able to block
and driving IYO into the apron.

2102
02:14:49,714 --> 02:14:52,717
[Wade] Here's what I like about IYO SKY.
It's not just pretty moves.

2103
02:14:52,784 --> 02:14:55,187
She can get down and dirty
with the best of them.

2104
02:14:55,253 --> 02:14:57,322
She is as gritty as they come,

2105
02:14:57,389 --> 02:15:01,226
and she's gonna need all of that grit
tonight against Bianca Belair.

2106
02:15:02,360 --> 02:15:04,796
[Cole] Bianca Belair,
a three-time world champion,

2107
02:15:04,863 --> 02:15:07,999
also a winner of the Royal Rumble Match.

2108
02:15:10,769 --> 02:15:12,704
-[screams]
-We mentioned Bayley before,

2109
02:15:12,771 --> 02:15:15,006
as we take another look
at the vertical suplex

2110
02:15:15,073 --> 02:15:18,710
and the power of Bianca Belair.

2111
02:15:18,777 --> 02:15:20,645
Down goes the champion.

2112
02:15:24,182 --> 02:15:26,885
And Bianca, standing moonsault for SKY,

2113
02:15:26,952 --> 02:15:29,754
cover to try to win the gold,
and a kick-out by IYO.

2114
02:15:29,821 --> 02:15:33,725
[Wade] Bianca Belair's greatest hits
in the early goings of this one,

2115
02:15:33,792 --> 02:15:38,296
but, somehow, IYO SKY
maneuvering her way into safe harbor.

2116
02:15:40,265 --> 02:15:44,169
[Cole] Bianca Belair once met Bayley
in this country

2117
02:15:44,236 --> 02:15:48,607
in an Elimination Chamber match
where she beat Bayley of Damage CTRL.

2118
02:15:49,975 --> 02:15:52,277
Bianca's also had
a Last Woman Standing Match,

2119
02:15:53,612 --> 02:15:55,380
among her other appearances here,

2120
02:15:55,447 --> 02:16:00,051
and now looking to win
the WWE Women's Championship.

2121
02:16:00,118 --> 02:16:01,887
[grunts]

2122
02:16:01,953 --> 02:16:07,692
And IYO SKY, trying to take advantage
of the ponytail of Bianca Belair.

2123
02:16:07,759 --> 02:16:10,929
[Wade] Bianca Belair experienced
that more than once in her career.

2124
02:16:10,996 --> 02:16:12,464
[Cole] And knows how to combat it.

2125
02:16:12,531 --> 02:16:14,232
Now, IYO, driven into the corner,

2126
02:16:14,299 --> 02:16:16,801
hit the back of the neck
on the top turnbuckle

2127
02:16:16,868 --> 02:16:18,470
and the kip-up now by Bianca.

2128
02:16:20,138 --> 02:16:23,375
Nobody home, and Bianca goes
shoulder-first into the post,

2129
02:16:23,441 --> 02:16:26,077
and now IYO SKY looks to take advantage.

2130
02:16:26,144 --> 02:16:30,081
[Wade] Dragon screw to Bianca Belair,
of course,

2131
02:16:30,148 --> 02:16:33,084
we know the damage that happened
to that knee three months ago.

2132
02:16:33,151 --> 02:16:38,056
You never come back fully at 100%.
Maybe at 85, 90%,

2133
02:16:38,123 --> 02:16:43,295
and that is, perhaps,
a big opportunity now for IYO SKY.

2134
02:16:43,361 --> 02:16:46,097
[Cole] And Bianca Belair just returning
a couple of weeks ago

2135
02:16:46,164 --> 02:16:48,300
as IYO continues to work on the knee.

2136
02:16:48,366 --> 02:16:51,303
Watch this, the dragon screw by IYO SKY,

2137
02:16:51,369 --> 02:16:54,206
and Bianca immediately
went to the injured right knee.

2138
02:16:54,272 --> 02:16:58,310
[Wade] Well, Bianca's biggest asset is
that free athleticism that she had.

2139
02:16:58,376 --> 02:17:02,714
Take that away, it just increases
your chances of victory exponentially.

2140
02:17:02,781 --> 02:17:05,317
[Cole] You know, you mentioned
earlier, Wade, and again,

2141
02:17:05,383 --> 02:17:09,287
as IYO continues to work
on the legs of Bianca Belair.

2142
02:17:09,354 --> 02:17:13,291
You mentioned the long reign
of IYO SKY as the NXT Champion.

2143
02:17:13,358 --> 02:17:16,695
Let's not forget, Bianca Belair
at 400-- Here's the cover!

2144
02:17:16,761 --> 02:17:19,698
At 419 days,

2145
02:17:19,764 --> 02:17:22,534
the longest reign
of the modern era in WWE

2146
02:17:22,601 --> 02:17:24,235
for a women's champion.

2147
02:17:25,370 --> 02:17:27,872
[Wade] She truly is the breeding ground
of greatness.

2148
02:17:27,939 --> 02:17:33,078
[Cole] And now, IYO SKY continues to work
on the damaged leg of Bianca Belair.

2149
02:17:33,144 --> 02:17:34,946
This is such sound strategy.

2150
02:17:35,013 --> 02:17:39,317
You take the leg away, you take the base
away, you take away Bianca's power,

2151
02:17:39,384 --> 02:17:42,187
which gave her the edge,
in my mind, in this match.

2152
02:17:42,253 --> 02:17:45,790
Roll-up by Bianca, looking to put
the champ away, and a kick-out.

2153
02:17:45,857 --> 02:17:47,592
[Wade] You can take away Bianca's power,

2154
02:17:47,659 --> 02:17:50,996
you cannot take away her spirit,
her competitive nature.

2155
02:17:51,062 --> 02:17:55,734
Oh, nice suplex by Bianca Belair,
able to roll through, power through.

2156
02:17:55,800 --> 02:17:58,403
And again, the knee seemed to give out

2157
02:17:58,470 --> 02:18:00,605
as IYO SKY went
to the back of the leg again.

2158
02:18:00,672 --> 02:18:02,407
Face-first goes Bianca.

2159
02:18:02,474 --> 02:18:05,777
[Wade] Targeted attacks,
one after the other.

2160
02:18:05,844 --> 02:18:09,581
And IYO SKY, at this point, amazingly,
is not even breathing heavily.

2161
02:18:09,648 --> 02:18:11,516
-[grunts]
-[Cole] And you mentioned it earlier,

2162
02:18:11,583 --> 02:18:14,919
she's got a mean streak in her,
does IYO, Wade.

2163
02:18:14,986 --> 02:18:16,955
[Wade] Yeah, no doubt about that.

2164
02:18:17,022 --> 02:18:20,558
She knows what it takes to get
the job done around the world,

2165
02:18:20,625 --> 02:18:25,497
especially in these kind of matchups
against very top caliber opponents.

2166
02:18:25,563 --> 02:18:29,567
And if you have to go low,
if you have to go dirty, so be it.

2167
02:18:29,634 --> 02:18:32,203
The pursuit of victory trumps all.

2168
02:18:32,270 --> 02:18:34,205
[grunts]

2169
02:18:36,174 --> 02:18:39,177
-[yells]
-[Cole] Uh-oh, IYO SKY rolling through.

2170
02:18:39,244 --> 02:18:41,513
-[grunts]
-Stomp right to the midsection.

2171
02:18:41,579 --> 02:18:44,049
[Wade] And just when you see
that power of Bianca Belair,

2172
02:18:44,115 --> 02:18:46,317
that incredible maneuverability of SKY.

2173
02:18:46,384 --> 02:18:48,820
[Cole] Cover to retain the title,
kick at two.

2174
02:18:48,887 --> 02:18:52,290
[Wade] Manages to swing the pendulum
back in her direction.

2175
02:18:54,759 --> 02:18:57,095
[Cole] I failed to ask you
at the beginning of this match

2176
02:18:57,162 --> 02:18:58,697
what IYO needed to do to retain.

2177
02:18:58,763 --> 02:19:01,866
But, obviously, the strategy is,
work on the injured leg.

2178
02:19:01,933 --> 02:19:04,335
[Wade] Well, that became apparent
in the early goings.

2179
02:19:04,402 --> 02:19:06,971
The second we saw that dragon screw
to the knee,

2180
02:19:07,038 --> 02:19:10,475
it was a complete game changer
for IYO SKY.

2181
02:19:10,542 --> 02:19:12,944
And Belair just hasn't
looked the same since.

2182
02:19:13,011 --> 02:19:15,180
[Cole] And you gotta wonder
if Belair's gonna tap here.

2183
02:19:15,246 --> 02:19:16,881
IYO SKY's got her wrapped up pretty good.

2184
02:19:16,948 --> 02:19:20,518
Bianca Belair writhing in pain now, trying
to fight out of this submission hold.

2185
02:19:20,585 --> 02:19:23,855
[Wade] Yeah, I don't know if I've ever
witnessed Bianca Belair tapping out

2186
02:19:23,922 --> 02:19:26,624
in the entire history of her career.

2187
02:19:26,691 --> 02:19:28,760
But tonight might be a first.

2188
02:19:29,794 --> 02:19:31,830
[Cole] Bianca trying to fight out
of this situation.

2189
02:19:31,896 --> 02:19:35,133
[Wade] Just swinging, cracking SKY
in the face six or seven times

2190
02:19:35,200 --> 02:19:37,335
and finally breaking the hold.

2191
02:19:37,402 --> 02:19:40,505
[Cole] Yeah, but has the damage
been done to Bianca Belair?

2192
02:19:40,572 --> 02:19:44,275
And IYO went right back on the attack,
kicked away again by Bianca.

2193
02:19:44,342 --> 02:19:47,445
[Wade] Momentary reprieve,
perhaps, for Belair.

2194
02:19:47,512 --> 02:19:50,315
[Cole] And IYO SKY
using her quickness there.

2195
02:19:50,382 --> 02:19:53,385
And now the Genius of the Sky
gonna head up to the top rope.

2196
02:19:53,451 --> 02:19:55,720
[Wade] A step ahead of Belair.

2197
02:19:56,755 --> 02:19:59,057
-[screams]
-Ah, went for a missile dropkick

2198
02:19:59,124 --> 02:20:01,292
and Belair able to move
out of harm's way.

2199
02:20:01,359 --> 02:20:03,094
And now, both women down.

2200
02:20:03,161 --> 02:20:06,297
[Wade] I don't know how much of that
was Belair trying to get out of the way

2201
02:20:06,364 --> 02:20:08,867
and how much was her
just collapsing into the corner.

2202
02:20:08,933 --> 02:20:11,302
Look at that,
her knee gave way once again.

2203
02:20:12,771 --> 02:20:15,106
[Cole] And the impact to SKY.

2204
02:20:15,173 --> 02:20:19,310
This match is
for the WWE Women's Championship.

2205
02:20:19,377 --> 02:20:24,015
IYO SKY, the current champion, taking
on the woman she beat for the title

2206
02:20:24,082 --> 02:20:27,318
by cashing in the Money in the Bank
contract at SummerSlam,

2207
02:20:27,385 --> 02:20:29,254
Bianca Belair.

2208
02:20:29,320 --> 02:20:33,291
[Wade] Bianca Belair lives in the gym
and has those freak genetics.

2209
02:20:33,358 --> 02:20:36,294
She better hope those genetics
are kicking in right now.

2210
02:20:36,361 --> 02:20:38,163
[screams]

2211
02:20:38,229 --> 02:20:40,031
[Cole] Oh, and look at this.

2212
02:20:40,098 --> 02:20:44,135
Bianca Belair trying to shake
some movement back into the leg,

2213
02:20:44,202 --> 02:20:45,670
get some blood flowing again.

2214
02:20:45,737 --> 02:20:47,439
She bought herself some time.

2215
02:20:47,505 --> 02:20:49,040
Kip-up by Bianca.

2216
02:20:49,107 --> 02:20:50,608
I'm not sure how wise that was.

2217
02:20:50,675 --> 02:20:53,978
[Wade] Knee just stiffens up with
the amount of abuse that's been taken.

2218
02:20:54,045 --> 02:20:56,681
[Cole] And now Bianca planting IYO SKY,

2219
02:20:56,748 --> 02:21:00,084
and adrenaline starting
to fill here for Bianca Belair.

2220
02:21:00,151 --> 02:21:01,586
Another slam by Bianca.

2221
02:21:01,653 --> 02:21:05,290
And here comes the number one contender
for the Women's Championship.

2222
02:21:09,561 --> 02:21:12,063
IYO SKY, though, able to step behind.

2223
02:21:15,300 --> 02:21:17,235
Oh!

2224
02:21:17,302 --> 02:21:19,404
Now bad knee, though, right to the gut.

2225
02:21:20,538 --> 02:21:24,342
Drags herself to the cover
for the championship, and IYO kicks out.

2226
02:21:24,409 --> 02:21:29,347
[Wade] That's that momentary beat
where Belair was in agony with that knee,

2227
02:21:29,414 --> 02:21:31,349
unable to make the cover, cost her there.

2228
02:21:38,089 --> 02:21:40,191
[Cole] Bianca again, struggling herself.

2229
02:21:40,258 --> 02:21:41,893
Struggling to get back to her feet.

2230
02:21:41,960 --> 02:21:47,966
We look on from high atop
the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh.

2231
02:21:48,032 --> 02:21:52,270
Can Bianca win
her fourth world title here tonight?

2232
02:21:52,337 --> 02:21:56,007
[Wade] Can she make her way through
the gears after the beatdown she's taken

2233
02:21:56,074 --> 02:21:58,209
so far in this matchup?

2234
02:21:58,276 --> 02:21:59,978
Clearly less than 100% now.

2235
02:22:00,044 --> 02:22:03,081
Can she show up and show out
like we're used to?

2236
02:22:03,147 --> 02:22:05,083
[Cole] Yeah, but how smart is it, Wade,

2237
02:22:05,149 --> 02:22:07,785
to climb to the second rope
when you've got a bum knee?

2238
02:22:07,852 --> 02:22:11,189
[Wade] You've got to do something special
if you want to beat the champion, SKY.

2239
02:22:11,256 --> 02:22:12,790
[Cole] Now to the top rope.

2240
02:22:13,925 --> 02:22:16,528
-IYO able to slip underneath.
-[Wade] Oh, no.

2241
02:22:16,594 --> 02:22:19,197
[Cole] And Bianca Belair in trouble.

2242
02:22:19,264 --> 02:22:21,432
IYO SKY tying her up.

2243
02:22:21,499 --> 02:22:23,201
[Wade] Tree of Woe.

2244
02:22:23,268 --> 02:22:27,205
All of Bianca Belair's weight
torqued on that knee.

2245
02:22:27,272 --> 02:22:31,743
[Cole] And Bianca, defenseless, as IYO SKY
delivers the dropkick to the knee,

2246
02:22:31,809 --> 02:22:35,213
and Bianca Belair writhes around in agony.

2247
02:22:35,280 --> 02:22:38,283
Cover to retain the title and a kick-out.

2248
02:22:39,284 --> 02:22:40,685
[Wade] And the bull's-eye there,

2249
02:22:40,752 --> 02:22:43,888
and immediately
into another torturous hold.

2250
02:22:43,955 --> 02:22:47,191
[Cole] Bianca Belair, will she tap out?

2251
02:22:47,258 --> 02:22:49,494
[Wade] Just shows you
how deep the playbook

2252
02:22:49,561 --> 02:22:52,931
of the Genius of the Sky truly is,

2253
02:22:52,997 --> 02:22:55,900
shredding that knee in the process.

2254
02:22:55,967 --> 02:22:58,102
[Cole] Moving out of that
stretch muffler submission,

2255
02:22:58,169 --> 02:22:59,904
Bianca Belair back to her feet.

2256
02:22:59,971 --> 02:23:02,206
IYO SKY now with a waist lock.

2257
02:23:02,273 --> 02:23:04,075
Standing switch for Belair.

2258
02:23:04,142 --> 02:23:07,045
Oh, goodness! Dropping IYO on her face.

2259
02:23:08,046 --> 02:23:12,216
[Wade] All of the power,
all of the guts of Belair.

2260
02:23:12,283 --> 02:23:15,286
-One, two--
-[Cole] And now, IYO gets the shoulder up.

2261
02:23:17,255 --> 02:23:23,394
[Wade] Just knocking the stuffing out
of the champ in one superhuman effort.

2262
02:23:23,461 --> 02:23:27,165
And now the cogs are whirring
in the mind of Bianca Belair.

2263
02:23:28,700 --> 02:23:33,504
What do I have to do to beat IYO SKY?
What is my body capable of at this point?

2264
02:23:34,872 --> 02:23:38,209
[Cole] Dig down deep.
Give everything you got.

2265
02:23:38,276 --> 02:23:39,310
[grunts]

2266
02:23:42,880 --> 02:23:46,117
[Cole] And now, IYO and Bianca
exchanging blows.

2267
02:23:47,185 --> 02:23:48,886
Both women back to their feet.

2268
02:23:48,953 --> 02:23:52,490
[crowd cheering]

2269
02:23:54,525 --> 02:23:56,794
-[grunts]
-And again, to the bad knee.

2270
02:23:58,062 --> 02:24:01,866
[Wade] The Shotei uppercut,
but caught in the process.

2271
02:24:01,933 --> 02:24:04,969
[Cole] IYO rolls through,
went for the stomp again.

2272
02:24:05,036 --> 02:24:09,207
Bianca, pinning combination
on the champion who kicks out.

2273
02:24:09,273 --> 02:24:12,210
[Wade] Belair tapping
into some reserves right now.

2274
02:24:12,276 --> 02:24:14,145
SKY hasn't had an answer.

2275
02:24:15,780 --> 02:24:18,616
[Cole] Thought she did there,
but Bianca able to block

2276
02:24:18,683 --> 02:24:20,284
and using her power yet again.

2277
02:24:21,552 --> 02:24:23,287
[Wade] And with that headscissors,

2278
02:24:23,354 --> 02:24:26,190
this power of Belair that you mentioned,
something else.

2279
02:24:26,257 --> 02:24:28,593
[Cole] And a cover now
for the championship,

2280
02:24:28,660 --> 02:24:30,528
and IYO gets her shoulder up.

2281
02:24:34,766 --> 02:24:36,200
Watch this.

2282
02:24:36,267 --> 02:24:38,069
[yells]

2283
02:24:38,136 --> 02:24:40,538
The impact, as IYO goes face-first.

2284
02:24:41,672 --> 02:24:45,843
But both women,
physically beaten up in this match.

2285
02:24:45,910 --> 02:24:52,216
[Wade] Belair truly is an athletic phenom
that very few women have the answer to.

2286
02:24:52,283 --> 02:24:57,188
[Cole] WWE Women's Championship
up for grabs tonight.

2287
02:24:57,255 --> 02:25:00,024
IYO SKY, the champion,
Bianca Belair, the challenger,

2288
02:25:00,091 --> 02:25:02,493
looking to win
her fourth world championship,

2289
02:25:02,560 --> 02:25:04,162
sent out to the apron.

2290
02:25:05,930 --> 02:25:07,832
-[Wade] That would have been nasty.
-[grunts]

2291
02:25:09,267 --> 02:25:13,771
Tug of war with the hair and, of course,
the powerhouse Belair wins it.

2292
02:25:20,311 --> 02:25:24,582
[Cole] And now, Bianca Belair, heading
up to the top rope. And look who's here.

2293
02:25:24,649 --> 02:25:27,051
Bayley, from Damage CTRL,

2294
02:25:27,118 --> 02:25:29,954
who was put through the announce table
last night

2295
02:25:30,021 --> 02:25:32,790
by Bianca Belair has reappeared.

2296
02:25:32,857 --> 02:25:36,561
Bianca, off the distraction.
IYO SKY looking for the win.

2297
02:25:36,627 --> 02:25:38,830
Referee Jessika Carr into position.

2298
02:25:38,896 --> 02:25:41,399
And Bianca Belair kicks at two.

2299
02:25:41,466 --> 02:25:45,336
[Wade] Well, this is why you get yourself
in a group with Bayley.

2300
02:25:45,403 --> 02:25:48,406
I'm watching her. Trust me.

2301
02:25:48,473 --> 02:25:50,341
-[IYO mumbles]
-I'm watching.

2302
02:25:51,476 --> 02:25:53,444
[Cole] Bayley telling IYO SKY
to trust her.

2303
02:25:53,511 --> 02:25:56,948
IYO, a bit shocked that Bayley
made her way out here tonight.

2304
02:25:57,014 --> 02:26:00,351
[Wade] She should be thanking her.
IYO was about to lose the damn match.

2305
02:26:00,418 --> 02:26:04,222
[Cole] IYO SKY, double underhook,
but Bianca, though, lands a--

2306
02:26:04,288 --> 02:26:07,992
And now, she has IYO SKY
in the K.O.D. position.

2307
02:26:08,059 --> 02:26:09,794
IYO, hanging on to the ropes, though.

2308
02:26:09,861 --> 02:26:14,799
[Wade] A mad scramble that was for IYO SKY
who, again, turns that tide.

2309
02:26:16,200 --> 02:26:18,402
And now, Belair sent out to the apron.

2310
02:26:19,270 --> 02:26:21,973
[Bayley speaks indistinctly]

2311
02:26:22,039 --> 02:26:24,542
[Cole] Knees to the midsection by IYO SKY.

2312
02:26:24,609 --> 02:26:27,378
Look at--
She's using Bianca's hair against her.

2313
02:26:27,445 --> 02:26:31,749
[Wade] Use whatever you've got to use
when the championship is on the line.

2314
02:26:31,816 --> 02:26:34,218
[Cole] And IYO SKY saying
it's time to fly.

2315
02:26:35,319 --> 02:26:37,188
[applause]

2316
02:26:37,255 --> 02:26:40,758
This is what Bianca Belair was
trying to avoid for most of this matchup.

2317
02:26:40,825 --> 02:26:42,193
[Wade] Who can blame her?

2318
02:26:42,260 --> 02:26:45,263
[crowd chanting] IYO! IYO!

2319
02:26:45,329 --> 02:26:48,833
[Cole] IYO, top rope. Moonsault.
Bianca taken out.

2320
02:26:49,901 --> 02:26:52,603
[Wade] Both women having a nasty landing.

2321
02:26:52,670 --> 02:26:55,540
Of course, Belair getting,
by far, the worst of it.

2322
02:26:55,606 --> 02:26:57,675
But that took something
out of IYO SKY, too.

2323
02:26:57,742 --> 02:26:59,777
[Cole] And again,
big smile on Bayley's face

2324
02:26:59,844 --> 02:27:02,213
as IYO SKY delivers with a moonsault,

2325
02:27:02,280 --> 02:27:04,215
sends Bianca back into the ring.

2326
02:27:04,282 --> 02:27:09,020
Only way IYO, I should say Bianca can
win is by pinning or submitting IYO SKY.

2327
02:27:09,086 --> 02:27:11,689
And IYO SKY now has taken over
this matchup.

2328
02:27:11,756 --> 02:27:15,193
Off that dropkick. Cover now
on the number one contender.

2329
02:27:15,259 --> 02:27:17,195
Belair kicks at two.

2330
02:27:18,930 --> 02:27:21,866
[Wade] Well, the player-coach
of Damage CTRL,

2331
02:27:21,933 --> 02:27:24,969
Bayley, has been yelling strategy
since she got out here.

2332
02:27:25,036 --> 02:27:30,074
And right now, it would appear
IYO SKY needs all the help she can get.

2333
02:27:30,141 --> 02:27:35,446
Because everything she's tried thus far
has simply not been enough.

2334
02:27:35,513 --> 02:27:38,282
[Cole] You cannot keep Bianca Belair down.

2335
02:27:38,349 --> 02:27:39,717
Bianca back to her feet.

2336
02:27:39,784 --> 02:27:41,352
The champion.

2337
02:27:41,419 --> 02:27:45,122
[Wade] Connecting with that
Shotei uppercut on her second attempt.

2338
02:27:45,189 --> 02:27:47,859
[Cole] Yeah, but Bianca Belair
with a spinebuster.

2339
02:27:47,925 --> 02:27:50,428
-Stacks up the champ to win the title.
-One, two...

2340
02:27:50,494 --> 02:27:52,496
SKY at two.

2341
02:27:52,563 --> 02:27:55,399
[Wade] Bayley, on the outside,
ready to jump in the ring

2342
02:27:55,466 --> 02:27:57,335
and break that pin up, if necessary.

2343
02:27:58,569 --> 02:28:02,740
Helped lead IYO SKY to the championship
in the first place.

2344
02:28:02,807 --> 02:28:05,109
Intent on helping her retain tonight.

2345
02:28:05,176 --> 02:28:07,511
And now, Bianca--
IYO had it well scattered,

2346
02:28:07,578 --> 02:28:08,880
rolled out of harm's way.

2347
02:28:08,946 --> 02:28:12,316
Dips underneath into a waist lock.
Standing switch now by Belair.

2348
02:28:12,383 --> 02:28:14,151
Oh! What a move by SKY.

2349
02:28:14,218 --> 02:28:17,989
[Wade] Catching the ribs of Bianca Belair
on that second rope.

2350
02:28:18,055 --> 02:28:20,258
[Cole] What a great move by IYO SKY!

2351
02:28:20,324 --> 02:28:22,827
[Wade] Speed of thought. Ingenuity.

2352
02:28:23,694 --> 02:28:27,198
[Cole] Oh, Bianca Belair, though,
able to catch IYO now.

2353
02:28:27,265 --> 02:28:30,101
Up goes SKY. Down goes the champion.

2354
02:28:30,167 --> 02:28:31,402
Cover by Bianca.

2355
02:28:31,469 --> 02:28:33,804
-Now Bayley's got the official distracted.
-Pinning!

2356
02:28:33,871 --> 02:28:37,508
[Cole] Bianca Belair could have had
the championship won here

2357
02:28:37,575 --> 02:28:39,543
if it wasn't for Bayley.

2358
02:28:39,610 --> 02:28:42,246
[Wade] Getting a Glam Slam...
Shay to Beth Phoenix.

2359
02:28:44,248 --> 02:28:46,984
Bayley saving the day once again.

2360
02:28:47,051 --> 02:28:50,087
[Cole] Belair now sends the champion
outside the ring.

2361
02:28:52,323 --> 02:28:57,595
Bianca launching herself off
over the top rope to take out Bayley.

2362
02:28:57,662 --> 02:28:59,497
Great move by Belair.

2363
02:28:59,563 --> 02:29:02,767
[Wade] Essentially a two-on-one matchup
at this point.

2364
02:29:04,035 --> 02:29:06,304
-Now IYO SKY...
-[Wade] Sky clocked Bayley.

2365
02:29:07,571 --> 02:29:09,507
[Cole] Obviously an accident.

2366
02:29:09,573 --> 02:29:12,677
[Wade] It's all going wrong
for Damage CTRL now.

2367
02:29:12,743 --> 02:29:15,513
[Cole] And Belair now
stalking the champion.

2368
02:29:15,579 --> 02:29:17,948
[Wade] Belair looking to grab the spoils.

2369
02:29:18,015 --> 02:29:20,584
IYO, sending her into the barricade.

2370
02:29:20,651 --> 02:29:23,487
And now, Bianca Belair understanding

2371
02:29:24,522 --> 02:29:26,557
that she has to pin IYO or submit her.

2372
02:29:26,624 --> 02:29:29,126
And Bayley now trying
to hold on to the champ.

2373
02:29:29,193 --> 02:29:31,262
And a right hand by Belair.

2374
02:29:31,329 --> 02:29:35,132
[Wade] Well, admire
the selfless dedication of Bayley.

2375
02:29:35,199 --> 02:29:38,736
[Cole] And now, Belair with Bayley
up on her shoulders.

2376
02:29:39,770 --> 02:29:42,773
Bianca Belair, right here
at our announce table,

2377
02:29:42,840 --> 02:29:44,775
looking for the K.O.D, and then, now...

2378
02:29:44,842 --> 02:29:46,410
[Wade] What is this?

2379
02:29:48,012 --> 02:29:51,849
[Cole] Bianca Belair, staring at--
Is that?

2380
02:29:52,950 --> 02:29:54,652
That's Kairi Sane.

2381
02:29:55,653 --> 02:29:58,589
Kairi Sane is back!

2382
02:29:58,656 --> 02:30:01,425
And she took out Bianca Belair.

2383
02:30:01,492 --> 02:30:03,694
[Wade] The Pirate Princess.

2384
02:30:07,398 --> 02:30:13,237
[Cole] A former NXT champion,
Kairi Sane with Belair in trouble.

2385
02:30:13,304 --> 02:30:15,773
A knee drives Belair to the post.

2386
02:30:17,074 --> 02:30:21,479
The official Jessika Carr was dealing
with an injured IYO SKY,

2387
02:30:21,545 --> 02:30:23,614
had no idea what just happened.

2388
02:30:23,681 --> 02:30:25,616
[Jessika] Two!

2389
02:30:25,683 --> 02:30:28,486
[Wade] It's basically
a three-on-one matchup at this point.

2390
02:30:28,552 --> 02:30:31,689
[Cole] Well, Kairi Sane and IYO SKY,
longtime friends,

2391
02:30:31,756 --> 02:30:34,892
tag partners for both Japan and NXT.

2392
02:30:34,959 --> 02:30:36,360
Sane is back.

2393
02:30:36,427 --> 02:30:38,129
Count of seven now.

2394
02:30:38,195 --> 02:30:41,732
Bianca Belair is not gonna make
the count back to the ring.

2395
02:30:41,799 --> 02:30:44,835
-But she does, just barely.
-Don't speak too soon.

2396
02:30:44,902 --> 02:30:47,204
-[Cole] IYO SKY with a moonsault!
-[crowd counting down]

2397
02:30:47,271 --> 02:30:50,608
Cover, hook of the leg.
Retains the championship.

2398
02:30:50,674 --> 02:30:52,376
[IYO's theme song playing]

2399
02:30:52,443 --> 02:30:59,116
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still WWE Women's Champion,

2400
02:30:59,183 --> 02:31:03,020
IYO SKY.

2401
02:31:03,087 --> 02:31:08,893
IYO SKY retains
the WWE Women's Championship tonight,

2402
02:31:08,959 --> 02:31:13,764
with the return of that woman, Kairi Sane.

2403
02:31:13,831 --> 02:31:16,267
[Wade] Well, you've got to admire
the durability

2404
02:31:16,333 --> 02:31:18,469
and effort of Bianca Belair.

2405
02:31:18,536 --> 02:31:23,674
But what chance did she possibly have?
And now, the statement is being made.

2406
02:31:23,741 --> 02:31:29,046
[Cole] The beatdown by Sane and SKY
of Bianca Belair.

2407
02:31:29,113 --> 02:31:30,681
Kairi Sane

2408
02:31:31,816 --> 02:31:37,421
has reappeared in WWE
and is going to make her mark tonight.

2409
02:31:37,488 --> 02:31:41,425
Belair trying to fight back,
but she's got no chance.

2410
02:31:41,492 --> 02:31:43,427
IYO SKY holding her down.

2411
02:31:43,494 --> 02:31:47,131
And now, "The Pirate Princess" Kairi Sane,

2412
02:31:47,198 --> 02:31:50,034
delivers the patented elbow

2413
02:31:51,502 --> 02:31:53,437
to Bianca Belair.

2414
02:31:53,504 --> 02:31:57,975
Bayley looks like she has no clue
what just happened.

2415
02:31:58,042 --> 02:32:00,044
And what's interesting about this, Wade,

2416
02:32:00,110 --> 02:32:03,814
is the last time we saw Kairi Sane,

2417
02:32:03,881 --> 02:32:06,884
she was taken out, beaten up,

2418
02:32:06,951 --> 02:32:10,788
and kicked out of WWE by Bayley.

2419
02:32:11,922 --> 02:32:15,926
[Wade] Championship match
that just descended into a mugging.

2420
02:32:15,993 --> 02:32:18,362
[music continues playing]

2421
02:32:24,502 --> 02:32:27,338
[Cole] WWE Universe, when we come back,

2422
02:32:27,404 --> 02:32:30,307
"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes
faces off against

2423
02:32:30,374 --> 02:32:33,577
"Señor Money in the Bank"
Damian Priest, right after this break.

2424
02:32:33,644 --> 02:32:36,981
For our subscribers
of Peacock Premium Plus,

2425
02:32:37,047 --> 02:32:40,818
get an inside look
at what set off this rivalry.

2426
02:32:48,159 --> 02:32:53,297
[Damian] All rise for the crew
that's dripping gold.

2427
02:32:53,364 --> 02:32:57,168
All rise for The Judgment Day.

2428
02:32:58,169 --> 02:33:01,505
[Cole] All is right in the world
of The Judgment Day.

2429
02:33:02,606 --> 02:33:06,544
Finn and Damian, once again,
the Undisputed Tag Team Champions.

2430
02:33:06,610 --> 02:33:09,246
[speaking indistinctly]

2431
02:33:09,313 --> 02:33:12,516
[Wade] Monday Night RAW is
the realm of The Judgment Day.

2432
02:33:13,717 --> 02:33:16,787
And their stranglehold
on this brand grew further

2433
02:33:16,854 --> 02:33:21,992
with their recapturing of WWE tag gold.

2434
02:33:22,059 --> 02:33:25,229
Cross Rhodes, and look who it is.

2435
02:33:27,331 --> 02:33:29,934
-[Cole] Oh!
-[Wade] Low blow from Damian Priest.

2436
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:32,536
Referee completely unsighted.

2437
02:33:32,603 --> 02:33:37,174
Oh, my God!
Rhodes through the announce table.

2438
02:33:38,242 --> 02:33:39,777
That's Jimmy Uso.

2439
02:33:42,379 --> 02:33:44,281
Coup de Grâce.

2440
02:33:46,584 --> 02:33:48,786
And new...

2441
02:33:48,852 --> 02:33:52,189
[Wade] Talk about
a concentration of power.

2442
02:33:52,256 --> 02:33:56,026
The Judgment Day wearing all the gold.

2443
02:33:56,093 --> 02:33:58,229
[Damian] We're back to dripping gold.

2444
02:33:58,295 --> 02:34:00,297
We're back to being on top.

2445
02:34:00,364 --> 02:34:03,701
And The Judgment Day
is back to running all--

2446
02:34:03,767 --> 02:34:05,169
[Cody Rhodes' theme music playing]

2447
02:34:08,472 --> 02:34:13,410
If I may, I'd like to speak specifically
to you, Damian Priest.

2448
02:34:14,745 --> 02:34:17,615
You were the one who went ahead
and gave me a low blow.

2449
02:34:17,681 --> 02:34:22,486
If you thought that was
the final shot in this fight,

2450
02:34:22,553 --> 02:34:24,688
you are wrong.

2451
02:34:25,856 --> 02:34:27,658
I'm glad you came out here
and found me.

2452
02:34:27,725 --> 02:34:30,261
There's a lot of talk
about the story of yours.

2453
02:34:30,327 --> 02:34:35,332
At this point, your story,
it's gotta be that you failed.

2454
02:34:36,767 --> 02:34:39,236
We do have a big event coming up.

2455
02:34:39,303 --> 02:34:43,841
Maybe it's Cody Rhodes
versus Damian Priest at Crown Jewel.

2456
02:34:45,276 --> 02:34:47,144
I accept.

2457
02:34:48,879 --> 02:34:54,618
Why don't we give everybody
a preview of Crown Jewel right now?

2458
02:34:57,221 --> 02:35:00,291
[Cole] And now, Cody Rhodes,
hammering away on Priest.

2459
02:35:01,792 --> 02:35:04,662
JD McDonagh from behind,

2460
02:35:04,728 --> 02:35:07,498
grabbing a steel chair
around the left leg of Rhodes.

2461
02:35:08,565 --> 02:35:10,067
Oh, no.

2462
02:35:10,134 --> 02:35:13,170
[Wade] Absolutely sickening moment.

2463
02:35:14,738 --> 02:35:17,875
Damian Priest crushing the ankle
of Cody Rhodes.

2464
02:35:17,941 --> 02:35:20,044
[Wade] After that attack
on Cody Rhodes' ankle,

2465
02:35:20,110 --> 02:35:24,748
he must feel like he's already
got his matchup at Crown Jewel won.

2466
02:35:24,815 --> 02:35:30,087
[Cole] The Judgment Day
laying waste to Jey Uso.

2467
02:35:30,154 --> 02:35:33,691
Just like what they did
to Rhodes earlier tonight.

2468
02:35:34,591 --> 02:35:36,493
Hey, Damian.

2469
02:35:36,560 --> 02:35:39,530
[Cody] When you think it's somebody else,

2470
02:35:39,596 --> 02:35:42,332
you need to know something, Damian Priest.

2471
02:35:42,399 --> 02:35:44,702
It's always me.

2472
02:35:44,768 --> 02:35:47,104
You took a steel chair,
you wrapped it around my ankle

2473
02:35:47,171 --> 02:35:50,507
and you tried to take me out.
You were unsuccessful.

2474
02:35:51,775 --> 02:35:54,978
[Cole] JD McDonagh saving Damian Priest.

2475
02:35:55,045 --> 02:35:56,714
[Cody] Because that's what my story is,

2476
02:35:56,780 --> 02:36:00,451
the guy who gets knocked down
and gets back up.

2477
02:36:00,517 --> 02:36:03,887
I'm back on my path and at Crown Jewel,

2478
02:36:03,954 --> 02:36:07,524
my path goes straight through you.

2479
02:36:14,498 --> 02:36:17,167
[The Judgment Day theme music playing]

2480
02:36:50,601 --> 02:36:51,969
[bell dings]

2481
02:36:52,035 --> 02:36:55,839
[announcer] The following contest
is set for one fall.

2482
02:36:55,906 --> 02:37:00,210
Introducing first,
representing The Judgment Day

2483
02:37:00,277 --> 02:37:04,815
from New York City, weighing 249 pounds,

2484
02:37:04,882 --> 02:37:11,755
he is one half of
the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.

2485
02:37:11,822 --> 02:37:18,028
"Señor Money in the Bank" Damian Priest.

2486
02:37:19,096 --> 02:37:21,865
[Cole] Indeed, Mr. Money in the Bank.

2487
02:37:21,932 --> 02:37:25,469
Looked like he was going to attempt
to cash in earlier tonight on Seth Rollins

2488
02:37:25,536 --> 02:37:29,039
before that was thwarted by Sami Zayn.

2489
02:37:29,106 --> 02:37:32,109
So, Wade, Damian Priest
cannot be in a pleasant mood

2490
02:37:32,176 --> 02:37:34,645
heading into this match
with Cody Rhodes tonight.

2491
02:37:34,711 --> 02:37:38,849
[Wade] Yeah, and that,
when he's in a mood as bad as he is,

2492
02:37:40,083 --> 02:37:42,052
is pretty much
gonna bring out the best,

2493
02:37:42,119 --> 02:37:46,390
or perhaps I should say the worst,
of the rockstar of Judgment Day,

2494
02:37:46,457 --> 02:37:48,025
Damian Priest.

2495
02:37:48,091 --> 02:37:50,794
Oozing with confidence,
dripping with gold,

2496
02:37:50,861 --> 02:37:54,131
and his eyes burning with malice.

2497
02:37:54,198 --> 02:37:56,733
[Cole] Again, earlier tonight,
this is what I was talking about.

2498
02:37:56,800 --> 02:37:59,536
Seth Rollins had just defeated
Drew McIntyre in a war.

2499
02:37:59,603 --> 02:38:03,106
Damian Priest about to pick
his opportunity, about to cash in

2500
02:38:03,173 --> 02:38:05,909
before he was attacked by Sami Zayn,

2501
02:38:05,976 --> 02:38:08,979
who has made it a mission
to take out Judgment Day

2502
02:38:09,046 --> 02:38:13,050
and make sure they do not control
the power here in WWE.

2503
02:38:13,116 --> 02:38:16,854
And that's the reason Priest doesn't have
the briefcase out here right now,

2504
02:38:16,920 --> 02:38:18,589
because Sami Zayn took off with it.

2505
02:38:18,655 --> 02:38:20,524
[Wade] Absconded, held in abeyance,

2506
02:38:20,591 --> 02:38:23,594
I have no idea
where the Money in the Bank briefcase,

2507
02:38:23,660 --> 02:38:26,096
and more importantly, that contract is,

2508
02:38:26,163 --> 02:38:28,265
but you can't cash in without it.

Cody Rhodes!

2522
02:39:36,066 --> 02:39:38,902
[Cole] Cody Rhodes,
and the intense look on his face.

2523
02:39:38,969 --> 02:39:43,040
He's been trash-talking with Damian Priest
since he started to walk down the ramp.

2524
02:39:44,141 --> 02:39:46,977
A lot of bad blood between these two men.

2525
02:39:47,044 --> 02:39:50,814
The reason Cody Rhodes
isn't the tag team champion today

2526
02:39:50,881 --> 02:39:53,817
is because Jimmy Uso cost him the title.

2527
02:39:53,884 --> 02:39:55,752
But let's not forget about the low blow

2528
02:39:55,819 --> 02:39:58,522
that was delivered by Damian Priest
on that same night.

2529
02:39:58,589 --> 02:40:02,326
[Wade] Low blow, Razor's Edge
through an announce table.

2530
02:40:02,392 --> 02:40:07,364
And a few nights afterwards,
Cody Rhodes' ankle almost shattered

2531
02:40:07,431 --> 02:40:10,033
with that chair attack
by The Judgment Day.

2532
02:40:10,100 --> 02:40:12,069
I spoke to Cody earlier today.

2533
02:40:12,135 --> 02:40:15,472
As sickening as that attack was
two weeks ago...

2534
02:40:15,539 --> 02:40:17,040
[crowd singing]

02:40:17,107 --> 02:40:20,711
-...he's claiming...

2536
02:40:20,777 --> 02:40:22,579
How much pyro do you need, Cody?

2537
02:40:22,646 --> 02:40:27,417
He's claiming that his ankle
is near enough, 100%.

2538
02:40:27,484 --> 02:40:28,552
But whoa, wait a second!

2539
02:40:28,618 --> 02:40:31,355
[Cole] And Damian Priest wasting
little time going after Cody Rhodes.

2540
02:40:31,421 --> 02:40:34,424
And again, like we mentioned,
these two men cannot stand each other.

2541
02:40:34,491 --> 02:40:37,361
And Damian Priest,
before the match has even begun,

2542
02:40:37,427 --> 02:40:38,862
attacking Cody Rhodes.

2543
02:40:38,929 --> 02:40:40,664
[Wade] Yeah, who can blame him?

2544
02:40:40,731 --> 02:40:43,533
Cody Rhodes is a top-notch competitor.

2545
02:40:43,600 --> 02:40:45,669
If you can get the jump,
you might as well take it.

2546
02:40:45,736 --> 02:40:48,972
[Cole] Cody Rhodes going after Priest
as the bell rings, and we're underway.

2547
02:40:49,039 --> 02:40:52,476
We figured this was gonna be
an all-out knock 'em down brawl

2548
02:40:52,542 --> 02:40:55,145
between Priest and Rhodes here tonight.

2549
02:40:55,212 --> 02:40:57,948
[Wade] Yeah, it will not be
a technical affair.

2550
02:40:58,015 --> 02:41:00,851
Punch your opponent in the mouth
as many times as you can,

2551
02:41:00,917 --> 02:41:02,319
knock his teeth out.

2552
02:41:02,386 --> 02:41:06,857
[Cole] Couple of drop-down right hands
by Cody Rhodes to Damian Priest.

2553
02:41:06,923 --> 02:41:08,558
And now, Cody in the corner,

2554
02:41:08,625 --> 02:41:11,528
and Damian Priest not gonna allow
that to happen

2555
02:41:11,595 --> 02:41:13,397
as he swings Rhodes away.

2556
02:41:13,463 --> 02:41:16,633
Cody Rhodes, though, takes down Priest!

2557
02:41:18,135 --> 02:41:19,770
[Wade] You almost sense the bile

2558
02:41:19,836 --> 02:41:22,806
pouring out of the souls
of these two guys,

2559
02:41:22,873 --> 02:41:25,242
wanting to rip each other to shreds.

2560
02:41:26,677 --> 02:41:30,747
[Cole] Cody Rhodes now, looked like
he was gonna deliver a suicide dive

2561
02:41:30,814 --> 02:41:33,383
before Damian Priest
moved out of harm's way,

2562
02:41:33,450 --> 02:41:35,452
[Wade] Regroup, get to the outside.

2563
02:41:35,519 --> 02:41:38,689
Plan A didn't work.
What else have you got, Priest?

2564
02:41:38,755 --> 02:41:40,791
[Cole] And Priest with a kick
to the midsection.

2565
02:41:40,857 --> 02:41:44,494
The powerhouse,
the enforcer of The Judgment Day,

2566
02:41:44,561 --> 02:41:48,965
Señor Money in the Bank went after
the Undisputed Tag Champs with Finn Bálor.

2567
02:41:49,032 --> 02:41:51,034
Damian Priest.

2568
02:41:51,101 --> 02:41:53,170
[Wade] Damian Priest
with that massive frame.

2569
02:41:53,236 --> 02:41:56,673
I have never seen any competitor
utilize limb length

2570
02:41:56,740 --> 02:41:59,142
as well as Damian Priest.

2571
02:41:59,209 --> 02:42:03,680
He's like a WWE version
of Stretch Armstrong.

2572
02:42:03,747 --> 02:42:08,452
[Cole] And now he's just mocking
the WWE fans here tonight In Riyadh.

2573
02:42:11,722 --> 02:42:16,126
Priest is a two-time Tag Team Champion,
won the North America Championship in NXT,

2574
02:42:16,193 --> 02:42:19,096
United States Champion at this level.

2575
02:42:21,198 --> 02:42:24,534
Cody Rhodes, sent into the corner.

2576
02:42:24,601 --> 02:42:27,337
Cody Rhodes, up over the top,
and again, the knee.

2577
02:42:27,404 --> 02:42:30,841
You're talking about the-- I should say
the ankle, and Priest capitalized.

2578
02:42:30,907 --> 02:42:33,677
That was the ankle
that Priest wrapped the chair around.

2579
02:42:33,743 --> 02:42:38,682
Face-first, down goes off the flatliner.
Cody Rhodes, cover now, and a kick-out!

2580
02:42:38,749 --> 02:42:41,051
That was the ankle, Wade,
a couple of weeks ago on RAW,

2581
02:42:41,118 --> 02:42:42,786
they wrapped the steel chair around,

2582
02:42:42,853 --> 02:42:44,755
and then pounded it
against the steel steps.

2583
02:42:44,821 --> 02:42:48,291
[Wade] I've gotta tell you,
a big part of me did not believe Cody

2584
02:42:48,358 --> 02:42:50,927
when he told me
he was near enough 100%.

2585
02:42:50,994 --> 02:42:55,866
That reaction on that ankle there
tells me he's clearly not.

2586
02:42:55,932 --> 02:42:59,069
That's just fighting game talk
from Cody Rhodes,

2587
02:42:59,136 --> 02:43:02,706
perhaps trying to convince himself
that he's healthier than he really is.

2588
02:43:02,773 --> 02:43:04,875
[Cole] Damian Priest had a plan
a couple of weeks ago

2589
02:43:04,941 --> 02:43:07,010
knowing he was going
into this match against Rhodes.

2590
02:43:07,077 --> 02:43:08,745
Take out Cody.

2591
02:43:08,812 --> 02:43:10,914
Don't allow him to be 100%.

2592
02:43:12,415 --> 02:43:16,453
[Wade] Cody has been a persistent menace
to The Judgment Day in recent months,

2593
02:43:16,520 --> 02:43:20,957
and clearly, Priest wants to end
the Cody Rhodes story for good tonight.

2594
02:43:21,024 --> 02:43:24,060
[Cole] Last time in Saudi Arabia,
back in May, remember,

2595
02:43:24,127 --> 02:43:26,463
Cody Rhodes is in that brawl
with Brock Lesnar.

2596
02:43:26,530 --> 02:43:30,167
And Cody now, exploding out of the corner,
and down goes Priest.

2597
02:43:30,233 --> 02:43:33,036
[Wade] You mentioned
that Brock Lesnar affair,

2598
02:43:33,103 --> 02:43:36,106
perhaps the highlight of Cody's career
thus far.

2599
02:43:36,173 --> 02:43:40,110
[Cole] Yeah, winning that
best of three series with The Beast.

2600
02:43:40,177 --> 02:43:42,045
[Wade] Almost nobody does that.

2601
02:43:42,112 --> 02:43:46,616
That shows you the gears and the level
that Cody Rhodes can reach

2602
02:43:46,683 --> 02:43:48,585
when he's on top form.

2603
02:43:48,652 --> 02:43:50,120
[Cole] And Damian Priest

2604
02:43:51,288 --> 02:43:53,390
stopping Cody Rhodes momentarily--

2605
02:43:53,456 --> 02:43:56,126
Cody, though, knocks down Priest.

2606
02:43:56,193 --> 02:43:57,194
[yells]

2607
02:43:57,260 --> 02:44:01,565
[Cole] And again, the injured ankle
causing Cody, at least at this point,

2608
02:44:01,631 --> 02:44:02,799
minimal problems.

2609
02:44:02,866 --> 02:44:05,969
[Wade] Yeah, it's just these
brief reactions does not seem to be

2610
02:44:06,036 --> 02:44:08,171
slowing Cody down too much, but--

2611
02:44:08,238 --> 02:44:10,040
-Look at the--
-Oh!

2612
02:44:10,106 --> 02:44:12,075
[Wade] You sense things
could go awry for Cody.

2613
02:44:12,142 --> 02:44:14,277
[Cole] Covered by Cody now,
off the Disaster Kick,

2614
02:44:14,344 --> 02:44:16,813
hook to the leg and a kick-out by Priest.

2615
02:44:18,114 --> 02:44:21,484
Again, Cody went to the leg one more time,

2616
02:44:21,551 --> 02:44:24,054
trying to shake out the pain,

2617
02:44:24,120 --> 02:44:26,189
slowly back to his feet.

2618
02:44:26,256 --> 02:44:29,059
Cody's one of those guys
that's not gonna complain.

2619
02:44:29,125 --> 02:44:31,261
He's not gonna make excuses.

2620
02:44:31,328 --> 02:44:33,563
[Wade] Here's the issue,
I've known Cody a long time.

2621
02:44:33,630 --> 02:44:38,568
This past Monday on RAW was as enraged
as I have ever seen him.

2622
02:44:38,635 --> 02:44:41,438
Use that to your advantage,
and it's a great thing,

2623
02:44:41,504 --> 02:44:45,942
but it can derail you when you come
to strategizing and thinking clearly,

2624
02:44:46,009 --> 02:44:48,044
when that red mist descends.

2625
02:44:48,111 --> 02:44:51,681
But right now, things are all going in
the favor of The American Nightmare.

2626
02:44:51,748 --> 02:44:56,253
[Cole] Yeah, the Arabic announce table
getting cleared apart by Cody.

2627
02:44:56,319 --> 02:45:00,257
And Damian Priest
with an absolutely wicked clothesline.

2628
02:45:00,323 --> 02:45:04,628
Just about drove Cody Rhodes
out of his boots!

2629
02:45:04,694 --> 02:45:09,432
[Wade] Well, when Cody Rhodes
was rearranging the furniture,

2630
02:45:09,499 --> 02:45:12,235
Damian Priest was recovering and plotting.

2631
02:45:14,271 --> 02:45:16,072
And now, maybe Priest

2632
02:45:17,941 --> 02:45:21,144
will use the table to damage Cody Rhodes.

2633
02:45:21,211 --> 02:45:24,314
And he's got Cody up,
looking for a Razor's Edge.

2634
02:45:26,650 --> 02:45:29,519
And drives Priest
face-first into the post.

2635
02:45:29,586 --> 02:45:32,522
[Wade] Well, Damian Priest
coming at 100 miles an hour

2636
02:45:32,589 --> 02:45:34,057
towards Cody Rhodes there.

2637
02:45:34,124 --> 02:45:36,626
Thankfully, for Cody,
using his momentum against him.

2638
02:45:36,693 --> 02:45:39,162
[Cole] And now, driving Priest
up onto the announce table.

2639
02:45:39,229 --> 02:45:42,032
And now, Damian Priest,
I don't think he wants to be there.

2640
02:45:42,098 --> 02:45:45,068
We saw what Cody Rhodes was able to do
on the announce table.

2641
02:45:45,135 --> 02:45:49,039
Not once, but twice to JD McDonagh
this past Monday night on RAW.

2642
02:45:49,105 --> 02:45:51,908
And could that be the fate
of Damian Priest right now?

2643
02:45:51,975 --> 02:45:55,078
[Wade] JD McDonagh
was the sacrificial lamb,

2644
02:45:55,145 --> 02:45:57,047
but it was really Priest he wanted.

2645
02:45:57,113 --> 02:46:01,051
[Cole] And there's the Reckoning.
It was the Cross Rhodes Monday night.

2646
02:46:01,117 --> 02:46:04,020
Cody was looking
for the Cross Rhodes there.

2647
02:46:04,087 --> 02:46:06,056
Damian used his own version,

2648
02:46:06,122 --> 02:46:09,059
which he calls the Reckoning,
to take out Cody Rhodes.

2649
02:46:09,125 --> 02:46:14,831
[wade] The face of Cody Rhodes
just bounced hard off that announce table.

2650
02:46:14,898 --> 02:46:18,034
And watch this, the Reckoning
by Damian Priest!

2651
02:46:18,101 --> 02:46:21,838
[Wade] Cody has been blinking heavily
ever since he's been rocked.

2652
02:46:21,905 --> 02:46:23,373
[crowd chanting] You suck!

2653
02:46:23,440 --> 02:46:26,176
[Cole] And Priest getting Cody
back into the ring.

2654
02:46:26,242 --> 02:46:30,480
And the WWE fans all over

2655
02:46:30,547 --> 02:46:32,716
this Señor Money in the Bank.

2656
02:46:32,782 --> 02:46:34,951
[Wade] This ain't a popularity contest.

2657
02:46:35,018 --> 02:46:37,053
It's about winning gold.

2658
02:46:37,120 --> 02:46:41,057
And right now, there's only one man
in this match who has any form of gold.

2659
02:46:41,124 --> 02:46:44,861
And there's a reason for it.
He's bloody good.

2660
02:46:47,797 --> 02:46:50,400
[Cole] And now, Priest again,
looking to put Cody Rhodes away.

2661
02:46:50,467 --> 02:46:51,735
Big smile on his face.

2662
02:46:51,801 --> 02:46:55,739
Cody, though, able to turn it around
into a Cross Rhodes of his own.

2663
02:47:00,010 --> 02:47:04,681
[Wade] These two dropping
the heavy artillery on one another,

2664
02:47:04,748 --> 02:47:06,983
and it is Cody who is stirring first.

2665
02:47:08,018 --> 02:47:10,286
[Cole] Again, the impact
of the Cross Rhodes

2666
02:47:11,287 --> 02:47:13,223
by Cody Rhodes.

2667
02:47:13,289 --> 02:47:16,359
Both men down,
critical part of this matchup.

2668
02:47:16,426 --> 02:47:18,161
[Wade] Cody's in agony.

2669
02:47:18,228 --> 02:47:22,832
Really negates the impact
of that Cross Rhodes we just witnessed

2670
02:47:22,899 --> 02:47:25,301
when there's nothing you can do
to make it count.

2671
02:47:25,368 --> 02:47:26,770
But, wait a second.

2672
02:47:26,836 --> 02:47:30,039
[Cole] Yeah, you were wondering
when this was gonna happen.

2673
02:47:30,106 --> 02:47:33,410
Finn Bálor, one half of the tag champs,
Damian Priest's partner

2674
02:47:34,644 --> 02:47:36,413
wandering down out to the apron.

2675
02:47:36,479 --> 02:47:39,015
[Wade] You never fight Judgment Day
on their own.

2676
02:47:39,082 --> 02:47:43,920
[Cole] And now,
JD McDonagh runs into a right by Cody,

2677
02:47:43,987 --> 02:47:46,790
[Wade] Cody had that sixth sense,
felt that one coming.

2678
02:47:46,856 --> 02:47:49,559
But the distraction-- South of Heaven!

2679
02:47:49,626 --> 02:47:53,496
Chokeslam by Priest for the win on Rhodes!

2680
02:47:53,563 --> 02:47:55,765
-Hook of the leg!
-[crowd chanting] One! Two!

2681
02:47:55,832 --> 02:47:57,333
And Cody able to kick out!

2682
02:47:58,435 --> 02:48:01,237
[Wade] Cody, refusing to be derailed

2683
02:48:01,304 --> 02:48:03,807
no matter the offense thrown
in his direction.

2684
02:48:03,873 --> 02:48:06,810
Look at the height of that South of Heaven

2685
02:48:06,876 --> 02:48:10,046
as Cody's body, ricocheting off the mat.

2686
02:48:10,113 --> 02:48:13,750
A fast, tight cover,
and surprisingly, it's not--

2687
02:48:13,817 --> 02:48:15,985
What on earth is Finn Bálor signaling for?

2688
02:48:16,052 --> 02:48:18,555
Come out! Hey! Let's go!

2689
02:48:19,722 --> 02:48:22,058
[Cole] Of course, it's the other guy
of Judgment Day.

2690
02:48:22,125 --> 02:48:25,762
Dominik Mysterio.
Dirty Dom with a steel chair in hand.

2691
02:48:25,829 --> 02:48:28,031
It's now a four-on-one situation.

2692
02:48:28,098 --> 02:48:31,768
[Wade] And a warm welcome
from this Riyadh audience.

2693
02:48:31,835 --> 02:48:34,671
[Cole] We got Dominik,
and Finn, and McDonagh.

2694
02:48:36,039 --> 02:48:39,309
And "Main Event" Jey Uso!

2695
02:48:43,780 --> 02:48:46,082
Down goes McDonagh!

2696
02:48:46,149 --> 02:48:51,054
[Wade] Cleaning the clocks
of The Judgment Day until there's one.

2697
02:48:56,593 --> 02:49:00,497
Scurrying away like rats
are the rest of Judgment Day,

2698
02:49:00,563 --> 02:49:03,833
-leaving Damian Priest at his--
-[Cole] Oh, roll up by Cody Rhodes!

2699
02:49:03,900 --> 02:49:08,371
Priest has gotta kick out!
Damian Priest all alone now.

2700
02:49:08,438 --> 02:49:12,475
-Cody caught him!
-[roars]

2701
02:49:14,277 --> 02:49:15,578
[grunting]

2702
02:49:15,645 --> 02:49:17,881
[Cole] And now, teeing up on Priest

2703
02:49:17,947 --> 02:49:19,949
who's got no buddies around.

2704
02:49:21,918 --> 02:49:25,188
Oh, Bionic Elbow! Cover by The Dream--

2705
02:49:25,255 --> 02:49:27,957
Ooh-hoo-hoo!

2706
02:49:28,024 --> 02:49:32,262
"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes,
paying homage to his dad,

2707
02:49:32,328 --> 02:49:35,298
the late, great American Dream,
Dusty Rhodes!

2708
02:49:35,365 --> 02:49:38,168
[crowd chanting] Cody! Cody! Cody!

2709
02:49:45,608 --> 02:49:48,111
[Cole] And Cody, now, has Priest
right where he wants him.

2710
02:49:48,178 --> 02:49:49,379
[roars]

2711
02:49:49,445 --> 02:49:52,649
[Cole] Hooks Priest up,
went for the Cross Rhodes!

2712
02:49:52,715 --> 02:49:56,553
Priest with a snapmare, able to counter,
caught him with a step-up enzuigiri

2713
02:49:56,619 --> 02:49:57,820
to the back of the neck.

2714
02:49:57,887 --> 02:50:00,857
[Wade] Superb strike once again
from Damian Priest

2715
02:50:00,924 --> 02:50:03,993
at the temple of Rhodes.
Rhodes bouncing back, though.

2716
02:50:05,929 --> 02:50:08,798
[Cole] Priest out on the apron,
caught Cody with a big kick,

2717
02:50:08,865 --> 02:50:10,533
and now Cody's stunned.

2718
02:50:10,600 --> 02:50:12,635
-[Wade] His kicks are so--
-[Cole] Oh!

2719
02:50:16,439 --> 02:50:19,275
Off the top rope
with a massive Cody Cutter!

2720
02:50:19,342 --> 02:50:21,010
From the top rope!

2721
02:50:21,077 --> 02:50:24,514
Cover for the win! Kick-out by Priest.

2722
02:50:25,982 --> 02:50:28,051
[Wade] Hats off to Damian Priest.

2723
02:50:28,117 --> 02:50:31,054
You don't have to like the guy,
but he's got the wherewithal to kick out

2724
02:50:31,120 --> 02:50:35,692
after the volley of abuse.
These are Cody Rhodes' greatest hits.

2725
02:50:35,758 --> 02:50:37,827
[crowd chanting] One! Two!

2726
02:50:37,894 --> 02:50:41,231
[Wade] It was a weak kick-out,
but it was a kick-out all the same.

2727
02:50:42,498 --> 02:50:47,136
Something burning deep inside
Damian Priest keeps him alive in this one.

2728
02:50:47,203 --> 02:50:51,574
[Cole] Indeed, the WWE fans have
come out of their seats here tonight

2729
02:50:51,641 --> 02:50:54,277
at Crown Jewel for Cody Rhodes.

2730
02:50:54,344 --> 02:50:56,446
A master of the comeback.

2731
02:50:57,513 --> 02:51:01,451
Sold out tonight,
the Mohammed Abdo Arena in Riyadh.

2732
02:51:02,485 --> 02:51:07,290
[Wade] Just feel energy levels spike
the second Cody Rhodes enters the arena.

2733
02:51:09,859 --> 02:51:11,461
[Cole] Damian, slowly to his feet.

2734
02:51:11,527 --> 02:51:12,528
Uh-oh!

2735
02:51:13,930 --> 02:51:15,331
Cody, on his shoulder!

2736
02:51:16,899 --> 02:51:18,668
Cody, trying to fight out of it.

2737
02:51:18,735 --> 02:51:20,003
He does!

2738
02:51:22,005 --> 02:51:24,474
[Wade] That's a lot of body to pick up,
but he managed it!

2739
02:51:24,540 --> 02:51:26,409
[Cole] Powers Priest up!

2740
02:51:26,476 --> 02:51:28,478
Priest now, behind.

2741
02:51:28,544 --> 02:51:30,780
Misses wildly! Cody hooks him!

2742
02:51:30,847 --> 02:51:33,449
Cross Rhodes!

2743
02:51:36,052 --> 02:51:38,054
Cross Rhodes number two.

2744
02:51:43,226 --> 02:51:45,061
And Cross Rhodes three!

2745
02:51:46,195 --> 02:51:48,398
-Cover!
-[crowd chanting] One, two, three.

2746
02:51:48,464 --> 02:51:50,767
-Cody wins!
-[bell dings]

2747
02:51:53,436 --> 02:51:55,004
Here is your winner

"The American Nightmare"

02:51:58,107 --> 02:52:01,277
Cody Rhodes.

2750
02:52:01,344 --> 02:52:03,746
[Cole] What a victory for Cody Rhodes.

2751
02:52:03,813 --> 02:52:07,317
A decisive one here

What's next?

2762
02:52:42,618 --> 02:52:44,587
Who's next?

2763
02:52:44,654 --> 02:52:47,290
What chapter are we in

2764
02:52:47,357 --> 02:52:51,894
in the story of The American Nightmare?

2765
02:52:51,961 --> 02:52:55,031
[crowd cheering]

2766
02:52:58,067 --> 02:53:02,271
The Falcon is long-renowned
for its hunting prowess and loyalty.

2767
02:53:02,338 --> 02:53:06,042
In Saudi Arabia, falconry
is a long, well-honored tradition.

2768
02:53:06,109 --> 02:53:09,312
And hence, the reason
the falcon is the national bird.

2769
02:53:09,378 --> 02:53:14,450
The falcon clearly embodies the spirit
of this majestic desert kingdom.

2770
02:53:14,517 --> 02:53:18,054
Well, WWE has been in Riyadh
all week long,

2771
02:53:18,121 --> 02:53:22,024
and our Superstars have been active
in many community events in Riyadh.

2772
02:53:26,395 --> 02:53:28,765
Hey, everyone.
It is our first day in Riyadh.

2773
02:53:28,831 --> 02:53:32,068
We are ahead of Crown Jewel, and we are
here today celebrating Special Olympics.

2774
02:53:32,135 --> 02:53:34,036
We're doing some unified gaming.

2775
02:53:34,103 --> 02:53:35,471
And we're having so much fun.

2776
02:53:36,873 --> 02:53:38,641
Go. Got it.

2777
02:53:38,708 --> 02:53:40,042
Here we go!

2778
02:53:40,109 --> 02:53:41,677
-Boom!
-Yay!

2779
02:53:41,744 --> 02:53:44,313
We got to be a part of the community,
meet the kids,

2780
02:53:44,380 --> 02:53:45,882
be here in Riyadh.

2781
02:53:45,948 --> 02:53:47,316
These kids are just amazing kids.

2782
02:53:47,383 --> 02:53:51,354
And they're just striving to be
the absolute best version of themselves.

2783
02:53:51,421 --> 02:53:53,055
WWE is global,

2784
02:53:53,122 --> 02:53:57,427
and it's amazing how the message can
just be relatable across the world.

2785
02:53:59,662 --> 02:54:02,398
[music playing]

2786
02:54:14,243 --> 02:54:16,879
[Cole] The rules have changed
over the years.

2787
02:54:16,946 --> 02:54:18,781
The danger has remained the same.

2788
02:54:21,551 --> 02:54:27,290
[man] Ten competitors. Two rings.
One cage. No Holds Barred.

2789
02:54:33,563 --> 02:54:36,332
[music playing]

2790
02:54:39,235 --> 02:54:41,704
Wade, can you believe it
is three weeks from tonight,

2791
02:54:41,771 --> 02:54:46,576
the Thanksgiving weekend tradition,
Survivor Series: War Games.

2792
02:54:46,642 --> 02:54:48,711
from the Allstate Arena in Chicago.

2793
02:54:48,778 --> 02:54:51,714
But we have a lot of real estate
to cover before we get there,

2794
02:54:51,781 --> 02:54:56,719
including this coming
Monday Night on RAW. Big time matchup.

2795
02:54:56,786 --> 02:55:00,523
Who will become the number one contender
for the Intercontinental Championship

2796
02:55:00,590 --> 02:55:03,259
in the long reign of the champion Gunther?

2797
02:55:03,326 --> 02:55:06,762
Will it be Ricochet, Miz,
"Big" Bronson Reed or Ivar?

2798
02:55:06,829 --> 02:55:08,698
Find out Monday night

2799
02:55:08,764 --> 02:55:11,400
[Wade] Not only that,
star pupil of the Alpha Academy,

2800
02:55:11,467 --> 02:55:17,240
Akira Tozawa looks to put his studies
to the test against an in-ring master

2801
02:55:17,306 --> 02:55:21,777
the sinister Shinsuke Nakamura
this Monday on RAW.

2802
02:55:21,844 --> 02:55:24,080
[Cole] Coming up next here at Crown Jewel,

2803
02:55:24,146 --> 02:55:27,717
the mega star LA Knight
looks to continue his meteoric rise

2804
02:55:27,783 --> 02:55:30,052
when he takes on
"The Head of the Table" Roman Reigns

2805
02:55:30,119 --> 02:55:32,688
for the WWE Universal Championship.

2806
02:55:32,755 --> 02:55:34,991
Will L. A. cement his place
among the stars,

2807
02:55:35,057 --> 02:55:37,693
or will Roman Reigns cause him to burn out

2808
02:55:37,760 --> 02:55:42,765
and continue his unprecedented reign
as the Undisputed Champion?

2809
02:55:50,706 --> 02:55:52,775
[Roman] I'm gonna smash you.

2810
02:55:54,143 --> 02:55:55,978
I'm gonna stack you.

2811
02:55:57,179 --> 02:55:58,781

[Cole] All the hype is over now.

2867
02:59:50,913 --> 02:59:54,049
This is real for LA Knight.

2868
02:59:56,118 --> 02:59:59,288
He's never been on this stage before.

2869
02:59:59,355 --> 03:00:02,057
This situation is a different world
for this man.

His first championship match
against one of the all-time greats.

2871
03:00:06,829 --> 03:00:09,932
But Wade, LA Knight is playing
with house money.

2872
03:00:09,999 --> 03:00:12,635
He's not expected to be here.

2873
03:00:14,336 --> 03:00:18,707
[Wade] But this entire audience are
certainly thrilled that he's made it

2874
03:00:18,774 --> 03:00:22,244
almost to the very top of this industry.

2875
03:00:22,311 --> 03:00:24,146
This is a renegade.

2876
03:00:24,213 --> 03:00:29,952
Careers are simply not supposed
to play out the way LA Knight has,

2877
03:00:30,019 --> 03:00:33,656
and right now, he is on the precipice

2878
03:00:33,722 --> 03:00:37,026
of creating history before our eyes.

[Cole] For 1,161 days,

2886
03:02:15,824 --> 03:02:18,627
Roman Reigns has been champion.

2887
03:02:20,596 --> 03:02:23,265
Three and a half years.

2888
03:02:27,937 --> 03:02:32,641
There are only two men
in the history of WWE

2889
03:02:32,708 --> 03:02:36,178
that have held the championship longer.

2890
03:02:36,245 --> 03:02:39,615
Bruno Sammartino and Hulk Hogan.

2891
03:02:41,150 --> 03:02:44,586
Bruno's second reign of 1,237 days

2892
03:02:44,653 --> 03:02:48,590
and Hogan's reign of 1,474

2893
03:02:48,657 --> 03:02:53,996
are well within reach of this man,
Roman Reigns.

2894
03:02:55,297 --> 03:03:01,003
But tonight, in his 29th title defense
since becoming champion,

2895
03:03:01,070 --> 03:03:06,408
he has to take on
one of the fastest rising stars ever

2896
03:03:06,475 --> 03:03:09,111
in LA Knight.

2897
03:03:11,413 --> 03:03:15,217
[Wade] Roman Reigns is not a man
who's here for fan chants.

2898
03:03:15,284 --> 03:03:18,654
He's not a man who's here
to have entire audiences

with his name on there.

2900
03:03:22,191 --> 03:03:25,961
Roman Reigns is simply here
to achieve immortality.

2901
03:03:26,028 --> 03:03:29,765
And day by day, he is doing exactly that.

2902
03:03:31,500 --> 03:03:36,872
Admire the celestial swagger
of our Tribal Chief.

2903
03:03:38,941 --> 03:03:42,344
[Cole] LA Knight talked a lot
this week about Roman Reigns

2904
03:03:42,411 --> 03:03:44,680
and his three and a half year reign.

2905
03:03:45,914 --> 03:03:50,619
Had a lot of negative things to say
about this championship run.

2906
03:03:50,686 --> 03:03:53,722
But this is LA Knight's
first championship opportunity.

2907
03:03:56,025 --> 03:03:59,795
This man in the ring, no matter
what you think about him, what you think

2908
03:03:59,862 --> 03:04:04,466
about the championship run, has held
that title for three and a half years.

2909
03:04:14,343 --> 03:04:19,515
In Saudi Arabia alone, he's retained
the championship three times.

2910
03:04:19,581 --> 03:04:23,619
Against Brock Lesnar, against Goldberg,

2911
03:04:23,685 --> 03:04:27,089
against another man
that was on a career rise

2912
03:04:27,156 --> 03:04:32,961
who won the United States championship
earlier tonight, Logan Paul.

2913

from Pensacola, Florida,

The trash talking continues.

2933
03:06:01,750 --> 03:06:07,022
[Wade] Popularity and fan support can take
you a hell of a long way in this industry,

2934
03:06:07,089 --> 03:06:10,926
but when that bell rings,
you are on your own.

2935
03:06:10,993 --> 03:06:16,765
And LA Knight, if this really is
your game, now's the time to prove it,

2936
03:06:16,832 --> 03:06:21,503
or else the "Yeah!" revolution
is gonna die in the desert.

2937
03:06:21,570 --> 03:06:24,406

for Roman Reigns.

2938
03:06:24,473 --> 03:06:27,843
If you're Roman, you need
to weather the emotional storm.

2939
03:06:27,910 --> 03:06:31,747
You need to weather all of this momentum
that LA Knight has built.

2940
03:06:31,813 --> 03:06:34,516
And more importantly,
perhaps, than all of that,

2941
03:06:34,583 --> 03:06:37,052
you've gotta take this WWE Universe

2942
03:06:37,119 --> 03:06:38,787
-out of this match.
-[bell dings]

2943
03:06:38,854 --> 03:06:41,857
And Roman Reigns
went after LA Knight early.

2944
03:06:41,924 --> 03:06:45,027
LA Knight now with the right hands
to the champion to start things off.

2945
03:06:45,093 --> 03:06:47,629
Knight with a swinging neckbreaker,
and right out of the blocks,

2946
03:06:47,696 --> 03:06:49,731
LA Knight attacking Roman Reigns.

2947
03:06:49,798 --> 03:06:52,100
[Wade] Well, this is
the exact burst of adrenaline

2948
03:06:52,167 --> 03:06:56,038
you would expect from
a first-time challenger at this level.

2949
03:06:56,104 --> 03:07:00,375
You're absolutely right,
the storm was always coming.

2950
03:07:00,442 --> 03:07:02,844
But this is a man, Roman Reigns,

2951
03:07:02,911 --> 03:07:05,814
who's weathered the storm
time and time again.

2952
03:07:05,881 --> 03:07:10,586
[Cole] Now Roman, mocking LA Knight
and his WWE fans here tonight.

2953
03:07:10,652 --> 03:07:16,225
Again, these are waters that LA Knight
has never swum in. He's never done it.

2954
03:07:16,291 --> 03:07:19,895
He's never been in, especially
with a shark against Roman Reigns.

2955
03:07:19,962 --> 03:07:24,199
He's never had a championship opportunity
at this level.

2956
03:07:24,266 --> 03:07:26,935
This is a different world.
This is a different ball game.

2957
03:07:27,002 --> 03:07:29,605
[Wade] It's completely new territory.

2958
03:07:29,671 --> 03:07:32,374
Nobody ever knows
quite how they're gonna react

2959
03:07:32,441 --> 03:07:34,876
when that huge spotlight is on you,

2960
03:07:34,943 --> 03:07:37,579
when the pressure is on,
and when you're in that ring

2961
03:07:37,646 --> 03:07:39,181
with the greatest of a generation.

2962
03:07:39,248 --> 03:07:42,317
[Cole] How did you react to your
first championship opportunity?

2963
03:07:42,384 --> 03:07:44,987
[Wade] Badly, because it was
the title quite clearly.

2964
03:07:45,053 --> 03:07:48,290
And I hope, for LA Knight's sake,
it is a lot better than that.

2965
03:07:48,357 --> 03:07:51,827
But I was eaten up for weeks
with nerves and pressure,

2966
03:07:51,893 --> 03:07:56,531
feeling like I wasn't really
somebody who belonged in that spotlight

2967
03:07:56,598 --> 03:07:58,300
at that moment in my career.

2968
03:07:58,367 --> 03:08:00,902
I don't know if that's affecting LA Knight
in the same way.

2969
03:08:00,969 --> 03:08:03,405
[Cole] One thing about LA Knight is,
at least on the outside,

2970
03:08:03,472 --> 03:08:05,173
he doesn't show the nerves.

2971
03:08:05,240 --> 03:08:08,410
He's complete, full of confidence,
very cocky,

2972
03:08:08,477 --> 03:08:11,346
believes he can win here tonight.

2973
03:08:11,413 --> 03:08:12,514
[crowd chanting]

2974
03:08:12,581 --> 03:08:15,284
[Wade] LA Knight has got
ice flowing through his veins.

2975
03:08:15,350 --> 03:08:19,154
He's got a lot more experience in ring
than I had when I got

2976
03:08:19,221 --> 03:08:24,259
to that stage in my career, and
I hope that pays dividends for him here.

2977
03:08:24,326 --> 03:08:27,162
[Cole] LA Knight now,
launching himself over the top rope,

2978
03:08:27,229 --> 03:08:30,198
cover the matchup for the title,
and a kick at one.

2979
03:08:30,265 --> 03:08:32,534
What is the theme of tonight?

2980
03:08:32,601 --> 03:08:34,369
The theme is belief.

2981
03:08:34,436 --> 03:08:37,806
And LA Knight has believed in himself
since the very beginning.

2982
03:08:37,873 --> 03:08:39,474
When he was down and out
on his luck,

2983
03:08:39,541 --> 03:08:43,045
many people never thought
he'd survive here in WWE.

2984
03:08:43,111 --> 03:08:47,015
When he was running a model agency--
Oh, down goes Reigns!

2985
03:08:47,082 --> 03:08:50,085
LA Knight, through all of that,
believed in himself.

2986
03:08:50,152 --> 03:08:53,889
He took a bet on himself,
and that's why he's here tonight.

2987
03:08:53,955 --> 03:08:57,592
And now Paul Heyman,
fumbling around outside the ring,

2988
03:08:57,659 --> 03:09:01,229
allows Roman Reigns
to slip out of harm's way.

2989
03:09:01,296 --> 03:09:05,167
[Wade] That's what The Wiseman does,
just throws a little sand in the gears.

2990
03:09:07,035 --> 03:09:08,236
[speaking indistinctly]

2991
03:09:08,303 --> 03:09:11,039
You're The Tribal Chief!
He can never do it that way.

2992
03:09:11,106 --> 03:09:13,608
[Cole] LA Knight now takes advantage.

2993
03:09:14,876 --> 03:09:18,213
[Wade] What a start this has been
for the challenger.

2994
03:09:18,280 --> 03:09:21,616
[Cole] LA Knight has not backed out,
he's taken the fight to Roman Reigns.

2995
03:09:21,683 --> 03:09:24,519
So many opponents over the years
have been intimidated

2996
03:09:24,586 --> 03:09:26,922
just being in the ring
with The Tribal Chief,

2997
03:09:26,988 --> 03:09:30,125
but LA Knight has not
allowed that to happen yet.

2998
03:09:30,192 --> 03:09:32,327
And now with Roman Reigns in his sight,

2999
03:09:32,394 --> 03:09:34,529
LA Knight with
a clothesline off the apron.

3000
03:09:34,596 --> 03:09:37,432
But again, Reigns has got
the champ's advantage.

3001
03:09:37,499 --> 03:09:39,668
Knight cannot win via countout

3002
03:09:41,369 --> 03:09:44,606
or disqualification,
he's got to pin or submit the champion.

3003
03:09:45,974 --> 03:09:50,779
And referee, Ryan Tran, letting a lot go
in the early part of this matchup.

3004
03:09:50,846 --> 03:09:55,250
[Wade] That's the problem, LA Knight just
got carried away with that early success,

3005
03:09:55,317 --> 03:10:00,789
and forgot he was in there with
a modern day in-ring God in Roman Reigns.

3006
03:10:02,057 --> 03:10:05,160
[Cole] And now, Roman pounding LA Knight
off the announce table.

3007
03:10:05,260 --> 03:10:08,396
LA Knight, smarting for the first time
really in this matchup.

3008
03:10:08,463 --> 03:10:13,335
And now face first, into the corner
of the steps goes LA Knight.

3009
03:10:13,402 --> 03:10:16,438
[Wade] That was about
as bad a landing as possible

3010
03:10:16,505 --> 03:10:18,740
when it comes to those steel steps.

3011
03:10:20,809 --> 03:10:24,813
[Cole] Roman Reigns dragging himself
on our Arabic announce table.

3012
03:10:25,881 --> 03:10:29,584
LA Knight is down,
Roman Reigns able to regroup a bit.

3013
03:10:31,486 --> 03:10:36,324
Knight who came out of the blocks on fire,
we figured that was gonna happen.

3014
03:10:36,391 --> 03:10:39,861
And now, Knight driven again
into the steel steps by Reigns.

3015
03:10:39,928 --> 03:10:41,763
This is the problem with Roman, Wade,

3016
03:10:41,830 --> 03:10:44,466
when he weathers
the early emotional storm,

3017
03:10:44,533 --> 03:10:47,369
and he takes control
of the match like this,

3018
03:10:47,436 --> 03:10:51,139
it is very hard for his opponent
to climb back into it.

3019
03:10:51,206 --> 03:10:56,578
[Wade] You hit him at 100 miles an hour,
you hit him with a volley of abuse

3020
03:10:56,645 --> 03:11:00,582
for five straight minutes,
and then he still ends up on top.

3021
03:11:00,649 --> 03:11:02,584
That is when you enter panic mode.

3022
03:11:02,651 --> 03:11:05,687
And if you're LA Knight,
you realize you've never been

3023
03:11:05,754 --> 03:11:09,224
in a ring with a guy quite
like this in your entire career.

3024
03:11:09,291 --> 03:11:11,359
This is the top level stuff.

3025
03:11:11,426 --> 03:11:14,863
This is the level you have to get to
if you want the gold.

3026
03:11:14,930 --> 03:11:17,933
[Cole] Knight beat the count at seven,
back into the ring.

3027
03:11:17,999 --> 03:11:21,970
And now, this is the pace,
the methodical beat down,

3028
03:11:22,037 --> 03:11:26,241
the punishing pace
of The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.

3029
03:11:26,308 --> 03:11:32,447
The confident smile stalking LA Knight.

3030
03:11:33,849 --> 03:11:36,518
[Wade] It's familiar territory
for Roman Reigns.

3031
03:11:37,719 --> 03:11:42,324
[Cole] And again, for LA Knight, he has
worked so hard throughout his career,

3032
03:11:42,390 --> 03:11:46,394
from the bottom of the barrel all the way
to the top, to earn this opportunity.

3033
03:11:46,461 --> 03:11:50,298
And, Wade, you know better than anyone
that a championship opportunity

3034
03:11:50,365 --> 03:11:55,403
of this magnitude may only come along
one time in your career.

3035
03:11:55,470 --> 03:11:58,440
You have to try to capitalize
on that moment if you can.

3036
03:11:58,507 --> 03:12:02,110
[Wade] Yeah, trust me,
I thought my entire time in 2010

3037
03:12:02,177 --> 03:12:05,180
I'd get opportunity after opportunity.

3038
03:12:05,247 --> 03:12:07,082
I didn't make it count back then.

3039
03:12:07,148 --> 03:12:09,284
I've lived to regret it ever since.

3040
03:12:09,351 --> 03:12:14,055
You're right, this may be
the only time in his career LA Knight

3041
03:12:14,122 --> 03:12:17,325
gets a chance for the big one,
a chance to win the gold.

3042
03:12:17,392 --> 03:12:22,163
Unfortunately for him, he's against
a man who may be unstoppable.

3043
03:12:22,230 --> 03:12:24,065
[Cole] And Roman Reigns now.

3044
03:12:24,132 --> 03:12:28,403
Suplex delivered, cover now
on LA Knight, who kicks out.

3045
03:12:30,739 --> 03:12:34,809
[Wade] Just sense LA Knight is still
desperately trying to get his bearings.

3046
03:12:40,448 --> 03:12:44,119
[Cole] Let's not forget
this is Roman Reigns' first match,

3047
03:12:44,185 --> 03:12:47,455
Wade, since SummerSlam.

3048
03:12:47,522 --> 03:12:51,092
[Wade] Yeah, normally, that's
a big problem, but Reigns has been

3049
03:12:51,159 --> 03:12:54,262
in that position before,
and this is what he does best.

3050
03:12:54,329 --> 03:12:59,434
He slows down opponents,
he makes sure the pace is his pace.

3051
03:12:59,501 --> 03:13:05,507
He controls the matchup, and that allows
him to reach top gear when he wants to,

3052
03:13:05,573 --> 03:13:07,842
-not when his opponent wants to.
-[speaking indistinctly]

3053
03:13:07,909 --> 03:13:10,779
I call the shots. I call the shots.

3054
03:13:10,845 --> 03:13:13,481
[speaking indistinctly]

3055
03:13:13,548 --> 03:13:16,785
-[Wade] Roman's enjoying this.
-[Cole] Let's talk about Roman now.

3056
03:13:16,851 --> 03:13:20,722
You do understand, right,
that it's been almost four years

3057
03:13:20,789 --> 03:13:24,793
since Roman Reigns
was pinned in a singles match.

3058
03:13:24,859 --> 03:13:26,661
He was pinned one time
in those four years.

3059
03:13:26,728 --> 03:13:29,598
That was in a Tag Team match
by, Main Event, Jey Uso.

3060
03:13:29,664 --> 03:13:32,634
Almost four years since being pinned
in a one-on-one match.

3061
03:13:32,701 --> 03:13:33,802
That is incredible.

3062
03:13:35,203 --> 03:13:37,839
[Wade] That's what we're talking about,
the best of a generation.

3063
03:13:37,906 --> 03:13:41,309
[Cole] Oh, and Roman Reigns exploding,
into the cover now on Knight

3064
03:13:41,376 --> 03:13:45,513
to retain, inside leg hooked,
and Knight has to kick a two.

3065
03:13:45,580 --> 03:13:50,185
[Wade] As for the generation, he continues
to grow and improve before our eyes.

3066
03:13:50,251 --> 03:13:53,722
Everybody in this game has a ceiling.

3067
03:13:53,788 --> 03:13:57,692
Roman Reigns' ceiling is higher
than anyone else, and it keeps climbing.

3068
03:13:57,759 --> 03:14:03,131
[Cole] The impact brought down LA Knight,
who now tries to fight back to his feet.

3069
03:14:03,198 --> 03:14:04,232
[crowd chanting]

3070
03:14:04,299 --> 03:14:08,436
WWE fans trying to will Knight
back into this match.

3071
03:14:08,503 --> 03:14:11,473
[Wade] Provoke of LA Knight
is starting to slip away.

3072
03:14:11,539 --> 03:14:14,476
[Cole] Capacity crowd looking on
as Roman Reigns

3073
03:14:14,542 --> 03:14:18,213
delivers a clothesline to the corner,
and again knocks Knight down.

3074
03:14:18,279 --> 03:14:22,651
Has Knight done all he can in this match?

3075
03:14:22,717 --> 03:14:26,021
Can he climb back in it
against the veteran Roman Reigns?

3076
03:14:26,087 --> 03:14:30,091
[Wade] It's gonna be a struggle,
because it seems right now

3077
03:14:30,158 --> 03:14:34,229
that the tidal wave of megastar mania
is hitting that plateau.

3078
03:14:34,295 --> 03:14:35,997
[crowd chanting]

3079
03:14:43,505 --> 03:14:49,577
[Cole] And Reigns just continuing
to be angered by the WWE fans.

3080
03:14:49,644 --> 03:14:51,513
[crowd booing]

3081
03:14:53,448 --> 03:14:55,583
Again, take it in.

3082
03:14:55,650 --> 03:14:59,054
You're witnessing one
of the greatest champions.

3083
03:15:02,323 --> 03:15:05,460
Definitely the greatest
of this generation,

3084
03:15:05,527 --> 03:15:07,996
a three-and-a-half-year title reign.

3085
03:15:09,664 --> 03:15:13,968
[Wade] Cole, you've had the best seat
in the house for Reigns' entire career.

3086
03:15:14,035 --> 03:15:16,404
-[all exclaiming]
-[Cole] Knight caught him with an elbow.

3087
03:15:16,471 --> 03:15:19,040
[Wade] About to say
he does not have kryptonite,

3088
03:15:19,107 --> 03:15:21,976
but that elbow to the jaw
certainly felt like it.

3089
03:15:22,043 --> 03:15:25,013
[Cole] And now a boot
to the face of Roman Reigns.

3090
03:15:25,080 --> 03:15:26,915
And LA Knight now...

3091
03:15:28,450 --> 03:15:31,286
That DDT off the top rope planting Roman.

3092
03:15:31,352 --> 03:15:34,389
And now LA Knight has an opportunity.

3093
03:15:34,456 --> 03:15:35,957
Can he capitalize?

3094
03:15:36,024 --> 03:15:37,725
Can he dig down deep?

3095
03:15:38,927 --> 03:15:41,696
[Wade] Well, I've heard people
for the past nine months

3096
03:15:41,763 --> 03:15:44,165
dismissing LA Knight
as a flash in the pan.

3097
03:15:44,232 --> 03:15:45,700
It's a hell of a long flash.

3098
03:15:45,767 --> 03:15:49,671
In fact, it's turned into
an inferno in that pan.

3099
03:15:49,738 --> 03:15:53,274
Roman Reigns perhaps
has that extinguisher.

3100
03:15:53,341 --> 03:15:57,212
[Cole] Roman Reigns trying
to pull himself back to his feet.

3101
03:15:58,379 --> 03:16:00,115
LA Knight down as well.

3102
03:16:00,181 --> 03:16:03,518
Deep parts of the matchup,
late innings here.

3103
03:16:03,585 --> 03:16:05,753
[crowd chanting] LA Knight.

3104
03:16:07,122 --> 03:16:10,458
The LA Knight chants ringing
through the arena.

3105
03:16:23,471 --> 03:16:26,341
LA Knight now starting
to get the upper hand.

3106
03:16:26,407 --> 03:16:28,309
Here he comes with the rights and lefts.

3107
03:16:28,376 --> 03:16:30,778
The combination on the champion,
Roman Reigns.

3108
03:16:30,845 --> 03:16:31,846
He's reeling.

3109
03:16:34,983 --> 03:16:37,418
LA Knight! Down goes the champ.

3110
03:16:37,485 --> 03:16:38,787
And Knight's fired up!

3111
03:16:41,489 --> 03:16:42,891
That side Russian leg sweep.

3112
03:16:44,359 --> 03:16:48,563
And now LA Knight measuring the champion
Reigns. Kick to the midsection.

3113
03:16:48,630 --> 03:16:50,265
DDT.

3114
03:16:50,331 --> 03:16:52,467
Cover to try to win the title.

3115
03:16:52,534 --> 03:16:55,804
Reigns has got to kick at two
and a near fall for LA Knight.

3116
03:16:55,870 --> 03:17:00,475
[Wade] LA Knight is tapping
into something very special here.

3117
03:17:00,542 --> 03:17:04,245
We may be seeing history unfolding
before our eyes.

3118
03:17:04,312 --> 03:17:06,648
[Cole] If you're LA Knight,
you gotta keep up the offense.

3119
03:17:06,714 --> 03:17:08,283
You got to keep up the attack.

3120
03:17:08,349 --> 03:17:12,520
You cannot take a second to breathe
against the champion, Roman Reigns.

3121
03:17:15,190 --> 03:17:17,859
[crowd chanting] Yeah!

3122
03:17:19,828 --> 03:17:22,730
Feeding off the WWE fans.

3123
03:17:22,797 --> 03:17:25,500
Knight now, to the corner.

3124
03:17:25,567 --> 03:17:28,403
Roman Reigns crumbles in a heap.

3125
03:17:28,469 --> 03:17:29,938
Now back to his feet.

3126
03:17:30,004 --> 03:17:31,873
LA Knight.

3127
03:17:31,940 --> 03:17:36,477
Roman Reigns able to duck underneath
and plants LA Knight with a Rock Bottom.

3128
03:17:36,544 --> 03:17:40,215
Cover now. Hooking of the leg on Knight.
A kick out at two.

3129
03:17:40,281 --> 03:17:43,818
[Wade] Just when you build up
that momentum as the challenger,

3130
03:17:43,885 --> 03:17:47,789
just when you start punching
this God of the ring in the face,

3131
03:17:47,856 --> 03:17:51,226
in a heartbeat,
he turns it around like that.

3132
03:17:52,760 --> 03:17:56,231
[Cole] But LA Knight able to survive
still in this match.

3133
03:17:56,297 --> 03:18:01,803
And maybe now convincing Roman Reigns
that he does belong on this stage.

3134
03:18:01,869 --> 03:18:05,607
[Wade] Reigns has been dismissive,
but right now, if you're a betting man,

3135
03:18:05,673 --> 03:18:08,476
you are only backing The Tribal Chief.

3136
03:18:14,816 --> 03:18:17,385
[Cole] Roman is locked and loaded.

3137
03:18:23,458 --> 03:18:24,893
LA Knight now.

3138
03:18:24,959 --> 03:18:26,427
Roman up on his shoulders.

3139
03:18:26,494 --> 03:18:27,829
And there's a neckbreaker.

3140
03:18:27,895 --> 03:18:29,430
Knight for the cover.

3141
03:18:29,497 --> 03:18:31,366
I thought he was going
for the cover, but no,

3142
03:18:31,432 --> 03:18:33,935
he's gonna inflict more damage
on Roman Reigns.

3143
03:18:36,638 --> 03:18:39,707
And Roman Reigns, though,
with a Superman punch.

3144
03:18:39,774 --> 03:18:41,509
Cover on Knight.

3145
03:18:41,576 --> 03:18:43,144
Kick out at two.

3146
03:18:43,211 --> 03:18:48,449
[Wade] That elbow might work
against every other person on the roster.

3147
03:18:48,516 --> 03:18:52,420
It just takes too long to execute
against Roman Reigns.

3148
03:18:52,487 --> 03:18:56,391
[Cole] He should have went for the cover
off the neckbreaker to Reigns.

3149
03:18:56,457 --> 03:18:59,994
[Wade] There's a time to showboat
and there's a time to realize

3150
03:19:00,061 --> 03:19:05,366
you are in there with the greatest
that we have in this present day.

3151
03:19:05,433 --> 03:19:09,504
[Cole] It is an incredible atmosphere
at WWE Crown Jewel.

3152
03:19:09,570 --> 03:19:13,174
Our Main Event tonight,
Roman Reigns in his record reign.

3153
03:19:14,509 --> 03:19:18,846
Delivering a Superman Punch
to the challenger LA Knight

3154
03:19:18,913 --> 03:19:22,884
for the undisputed title,
who managed to get the shoulder up.

3155
03:19:22,951 --> 03:19:26,454
[Wade] LA Knight is completely rocked
and perhaps defenseless.

3156
03:19:27,522 --> 03:19:30,525
[Cole] Yet out of pure instinct,

3157
03:19:30,591 --> 03:19:33,661
Knight was able to kick out
after the Superman Punch.

3158
03:19:38,266 --> 03:19:40,468
-Ooh Aah!
-[crowd repeating] Ooh Aah!

3159
03:19:40,535 --> 03:19:43,237
[Cole] Now Roman Reigns with the spear.

3160
03:19:43,304 --> 03:19:44,639
LA Knight leapfrog.

3161
03:19:44,706 --> 03:19:47,275
Roman Reigns went face-first
into the buckle.

3162
03:19:47,342 --> 03:19:50,178
[Wade] With all of that momentum,
face first,

3163
03:19:50,244 --> 03:19:52,814
eating it, softening up the champ.

3164
03:19:55,450 --> 03:19:58,086
[Cole] And now, LA Knight
has got a second wind.

3165
03:20:05,893 --> 03:20:09,630
LA gonna drag himself up the second rope.

3166
03:20:09,697 --> 03:20:14,235
Is he gonna look for a superplex here
on Roman Reigns?

3167
03:20:14,302 --> 03:20:17,105
Champ up to the top rope,
able to block momentarily.

3168
03:20:18,072 --> 03:20:21,242
Body shot by The Head of the Table,
and another.

3169
03:20:24,045 --> 03:20:25,446
Headbutt by Roman.

3170
03:20:25,513 --> 03:20:27,415
Stuns LA Knight at least momentarily.

3171
03:20:29,283 --> 03:20:32,920
Roman struggling,
LA Knight though leaps to the top rope.

3172
03:20:32,987 --> 03:20:34,122
[Wade] Ridiculous--

3173
03:20:34,188 --> 03:20:36,391
-[all exclaiming]
-Superplex!

3174
03:20:36,457 --> 03:20:41,829
[Cole] And now, LA Knight
is gonna look to deliver the elbow.

3175
03:20:41,896 --> 03:20:43,097
[Wade] Take two.

3176
03:20:44,499 --> 03:20:45,867
[Cole] This one connects.

3177
03:20:45,933 --> 03:20:48,770
Cover for the undisputed championship.

3178
03:20:48,836 --> 03:20:50,705
And Roman kicks out.

3179
03:20:50,772 --> 03:20:53,207
[Wade] The momentum is building
for LA Knight,

3180
03:20:53,274 --> 03:20:57,812
but so is the frustration
when you hit Roman Reigns

3181
03:20:57,879 --> 03:21:00,815
with the best that you've got
and he's still kicking out.

3182
03:21:00,882 --> 03:21:02,183
You start to panic.

3183
03:21:03,351 --> 03:21:04,619
[Cole] Absolute...

3184
03:21:06,421 --> 03:21:07,688
Tremendous.

3185
03:21:07,755 --> 03:21:11,225
And wait a minute,
Solo Sikoa now in the aisleway.

3186
03:21:11,292 --> 03:21:16,964
And Jimmy Uso is dragging
the undisputed champion out of the ring.

3187
03:21:17,031 --> 03:21:21,135
LA Knight staring down the aisle
away at Solo Sikoa.

3188
03:21:21,202 --> 03:21:23,404
Jimmy has saved his cousin.

3189
03:21:23,471 --> 03:21:27,909
[Wade] It helps when you've got family
you can rely on, top level family.

3190
03:21:27,975 --> 03:21:30,545
-But Jimmy Uso--
-[Cole] And now, LA Knight--

3191
03:21:30,611 --> 03:21:35,349
Superman Punch by Roman Reigns
off the distraction by Jimmy Uso.

3192
03:21:36,617 --> 03:21:38,753
-Ooh ahh!
-[crowd repeating] Ooh ahh!

3193
03:21:38,820 --> 03:21:42,623
[Cole] Spear! Cover by Roman Reigns.

3194
03:21:42,690 --> 03:21:46,027
How did Knight kick-out
of the spear?

3195
03:21:46,094 --> 03:21:49,330
You gotta be kidding me!
How the hell did Knight kick out?

3196
03:21:49,397 --> 03:21:51,666
[Wade] 2.99 seconds, Cole.

3197
03:21:54,502 --> 03:21:57,105
Is the magic happening tonight?

3198
03:21:57,171 --> 03:21:59,207
[Cole] With everything against him.

3199
03:21:59,273 --> 03:22:05,213
Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso,
Superman Punch, and a massive spear.

3200
03:22:05,279 --> 03:22:10,918
LA Knight dug down deep
and stays alive in this match.

3201
03:22:22,130 --> 03:22:24,899
LA Knight surviving,
at least for the moment.

3202
03:22:26,367 --> 03:22:29,003
[Wade] Roman Reigns,
you don't sense frustration,

3203
03:22:29,070 --> 03:22:34,175
you sense anger at the disrespect
of the challenger LA Knight

3204
03:22:34,242 --> 03:22:37,778
having the temerity
to kick-out of that spear.

3205
03:22:37,845 --> 03:22:39,146
How dare you?

3206
03:22:39,213 --> 03:22:43,484
[Cole] Roman Reigns is irate
as he punishes LA Knight.

3207
03:22:48,089 --> 03:22:49,557
[Wade] Despite the kick-out,

3208
03:22:49,624 --> 03:22:52,260
LA Knight might have nothing left
in the tank now.

3209
03:22:52,326 --> 03:22:54,929
[Cole] But he's still in the match.
He's still alive.

3210
03:22:54,996 --> 03:22:59,867
Despite the fact that Solo was out here,
Jimmy was out here, Heyman was out here,

3211
03:22:59,934 --> 03:23:02,436
LA Knight still has a breath left in him.

3212
03:23:02,503 --> 03:23:05,006
-[speaking indistinctly]
-[Wade] How much longer?

3213
03:23:05,072 --> 03:23:08,009
[Roman speaking indistinctly]

3214
03:23:08,075 --> 03:23:10,545
[crowd chanting]

3215
03:23:31,832 --> 03:23:36,871
[Cole] Roman Reigns
is gonna choke out LA Knight.

3216
03:23:38,339 --> 03:23:43,511
Roman Reigns trying to get Knight
to pass out or tap out,

3217
03:23:43,578 --> 03:23:45,780
so he can retain
the undisputed championship.

3218
03:23:45,846 --> 03:23:50,451
[Wade] Roman applied deep
onto the throat of LA Knight.

3219
03:23:50,518 --> 03:23:56,524
No doubt desperately sucking up oxygen
and failing in that attempt.

3220
03:23:56,591 --> 03:23:58,793
[Cole] Roman Reigns
has got it locked in good

3221
03:23:58,859 --> 03:24:01,362
with all his power, with all his might.

3222
03:24:01,429 --> 03:24:03,664
LA Knight is fading though.

3223
03:24:03,731 --> 03:24:06,801
[Wade] Just an image of sheer dominance
from the champ.

3224
03:24:07,802 --> 03:24:11,739
[Cole] Knight is fading. Heyman looking on
with all the intensity.

3225
03:24:12,940 --> 03:24:15,676
Roman Reigns though,
LA Knight's still in it.

3226
03:24:15,743 --> 03:24:18,379
LA Knight letting everyone know
he hasn't given up yet.

3227
03:24:18,446 --> 03:24:20,815
LA Knight trying to make it
back to a vertical base.

3228
03:24:20,881 --> 03:24:23,484
Can Knight somehow do it?
Can he dig down deep?

3229
03:24:23,551 --> 03:24:26,821
Could there be one last gasp
for LA Knight?

3230
03:24:28,522 --> 03:24:31,726
Body shots, break the hold.

3231
03:24:31,792 --> 03:24:36,430
Roman Reigns again, trying to lock it in.
Knight'll back him into the corner.

3232
03:24:38,699 --> 03:24:40,668
And for a third time.

3233
03:24:42,336 --> 03:24:44,872
Will this be it for LA Knight?

3234
03:24:44,939 --> 03:24:46,540
[Wade] I mean, he's fading fast.

3235
03:24:46,607 --> 03:24:49,110
You can tap into the reserves of energy--

3236
03:24:49,176 --> 03:24:50,978
[Cole] Maybe not.

3237
03:24:51,045 --> 03:24:52,913
Roman Reigns hung up the top rope.

3238
03:24:52,980 --> 03:24:55,216
-LA Knight-- Blunt Force Trauma!
-[Wade] BFT!

3239
03:24:55,283 --> 03:24:59,020
[Cole] BFT, Blunt Force Trauma,
to win the Undisputed Championship.

3240
03:24:59,086 --> 03:25:03,624
And Jimmy Uso saves the match, putting
Roman Reigns leg on the bottom rope.

3241
03:25:03,691 --> 03:25:06,494
[Wade] To be clear,
that was the only thing

3242
03:25:06,560 --> 03:25:10,164
that saved Roman Reigns in this match.
We were about to have a new champ.

3243
03:25:11,299 --> 03:25:15,102
[Cole] LA Knight was gonna
stump the record-setting reign

3244
03:25:15,169 --> 03:25:19,206
of Roman Reigns
before Jimmy Uso saved his cousin.

3245
03:25:21,442 --> 03:25:24,211
Nah, I like you. I like you.

3246
03:25:24,278 --> 03:25:25,546
-Give me some.
-Sure you do.

3247
03:25:25,613 --> 03:25:28,983
[Cole] Jimmy Uso and LA Knight
going at it outside the ring.

3248
03:25:29,050 --> 03:25:32,486
LA Knight has had enough. Bouncin' Uso
off the Arabic announce table.

3249
03:25:32,553 --> 03:25:34,855
[crowd shouting rhythmically]

3250
03:25:39,894 --> 03:25:42,997
Now Roman Reigns back into the fray,
and he runs into a knee.

3251
03:25:43,064 --> 03:25:45,700
And now it's Roman Reigns
bounced off the table by Knight.

3252
03:25:51,405 --> 03:25:54,475
Reigns sent into the post, face first,
and into the barricade.

3253
03:25:54,542 --> 03:25:57,011
[Wade] It's been a long time since
I've seen Roman Reigns

3254
03:25:57,078 --> 03:25:58,979
in this much trouble.

3255
03:25:59,046 --> 03:26:00,281
[Cole] Reigns is down.

3256
03:26:00,348 --> 03:26:02,283
Jimmy Uso went for the superkick.

3257
03:26:02,349 --> 03:26:05,553
LA Knight, though,
busts Jimmy Uso through the table.

3258
03:26:07,355 --> 03:26:09,890
Uso's been taken out of the equation.

3259
03:26:09,957 --> 03:26:12,159
Spear through the barricade!

3260
03:26:12,226 --> 03:26:15,796
Reigns spears Knight
through the barricade.

3261
03:26:15,863 --> 03:26:19,066
[Wade] There's the issue. It's simply
not Jimmy Uso that you need

3262
03:26:19,133 --> 03:26:22,470
to worry about right now,
it's the champ Roman Reigns.

3263
03:26:22,536 --> 03:26:25,740
[Cole] Roman Reigns sends Knight
back into the ring.

3264
03:26:25,806 --> 03:26:30,778
LA Knight had the entire wind
knocked out of him,

3265
03:26:30,845 --> 03:26:33,147
being driven through the barricade.

3266
03:26:33,214 --> 03:26:36,617
Roman Reigns wants to beat Knight,
center of the ring.

3267
03:26:36,684 --> 03:26:41,555
-Spear! Roman Reigns retains.

3268
03:26:41,622 --> 03:26:43,357
[Roman Reigns' theme music playing]

3269
03:26:43,424 --> 03:26:48,963
[announcer] Here's your winner
and still undisputed

3270
03:26:49,029 --> 03:26:53,868
WWE Universal Champion,

3271
03:26:53,934 --> 03:26:58,572
Roman Reigns!

3272
03:26:58,639 --> 03:27:03,344
[Cole] It was a courageous effort
by LA Knight,

3273
03:27:03,411 --> 03:27:07,615
who proved to the world tonight,
he belonged on this stage.

3274
03:27:07,681 --> 03:27:10,217
He almost had Roman Reigns beat.

3275
03:27:10,284 --> 03:27:16,657
But it's the same old story
as Roman Reigns survives again.

3276
03:27:16,724 --> 03:27:19,760
[Wade] This was where
it really went wrong for LA Knight.

3277
03:27:19,827 --> 03:27:23,597
Getting the job done
of an invading Jimmy Uso,

3278
03:27:23,664 --> 03:27:28,769
but leaving himself prone
to that spear from Roman Reigns.

3279
03:27:28,836 --> 03:27:32,239
Softened up
on the final kiss good night.

3280
03:27:35,009 --> 03:27:40,748
[Cole] I firmly believe that LA Knight
had Roman Reigns beat off the BFT,

3281
03:27:40,815 --> 03:27:44,385
if it wasn't for the interference
of Jimmy Uso.

3282
03:27:44,452 --> 03:27:47,087
[Wade] There can be
no argument against it.

3283
03:27:48,589 --> 03:27:52,893
All the flash, all the bravado
of Roman Reigns coming into this one.

3284
03:27:52,960 --> 03:27:55,830
He is the most fortunate man
on planet Earth.

3285
03:27:55,896 --> 03:27:58,132
LA Knight just got screwed.

3286
03:27:58,199 --> 03:28:01,669
[Cole] And Roman Reigns, historic run.

3287
03:28:01,735 --> 03:28:05,306
As the undisputed champion will continue

3288
03:28:05,372 --> 03:28:10,678
well beyond 1,161 days.

3289
03:28:12,246 --> 03:28:16,150
As Roman Reigns
continues to tear down the walls

3290
03:28:16,217 --> 03:28:21,055
and march even further through history.

3291
03:28:31,866 --> 03:28:37,505
Roman Reigns
basks in the glory of victory.

3292
03:28:37,571 --> 03:28:43,410
LA Knight tonight
suffers the agony of defeat.

3293
03:28:43,477 --> 03:28:46,580
But at the end of the day,
LA Knight knows, Wade,

3294
03:28:46,647 --> 03:28:49,984
he stood toe-to-toe with one of the best.

3295
03:28:51,352 --> 03:28:57,157
Roman Reigns continues to dominate
as the undisputed champion.

3296
03:28:57,224 --> 03:29:02,062
