[female announcer] The following is a triple threat elimination match.
Introducing first,
from Battle Creek, Michigan,
weighing in at 235 pounds,
Rob Van Dam!
[Michael] Well, you want to talk about extreme,
we can kick things off with the king of extreme,
Rob Van Dam,
known as the Whole Damn Show!
Hello again, everybody!
Michael Cole, the legendary JBL,
the Hall of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler at ringside.
Are you guys ready?
I know I am pumped.
Looks like RVD is ready as well.
Triple threat match, John, to start things off.
[Jerry] Start things off with a talk about extreme:
RVD, Paul Heyman,
Jack Swagger, let's go!
[audience cheers]
[female announcer] Next, being accompanied by Zeb Colter
from Perry, Oklahoma,
weighing in at 275 pounds.
He is the real American!
Jack Swagger!
[Michael] Rob Van Dam, with a huge score to settle tonight, guys.
This past Monday night on "Raw",
it was Rob Van Dam versus Wade Barrett,
in the final of the intercontinental title
Number One Contenders' Tournament.
And Cesaro, upset that Rob Van Dam
had beat him the week prior in the tournament,
would get involved in the match-up.
Jack Swagger, who's got issues
with his former friend and partner Cesaro as well,
would get involved too.
And then, King, it would be
Cesaro costing Van Dam this match.
[Jerry] Yeah. Look at this.
The knees right into the chest of Rob Van Dam.
And then the bull hammer.
[bell ringing]
[Michael] Barrett advances to the intercontinental championship match-up
later tonight against Big E.
Rob Van Dam, meanwhile,
assaulted by Cesaro.
Swagger' s issues with Cesaro continue.
Paul Heyman and Zeb Colter
have had issues as well.
[John] You've got everything you want in this match and more.
[Jerry] Triple threat style.
[John] You're right about that.
Nobody likes anybody.
That's what I like.
[music]
[Paul] Ladies and gentlemen…
[cheers and applause]
[John] This is what I don't like.
My name is Paul Heyman…
[audience cheers]
…and tonight's event
is a testament to the fact
that I am the greatest visionary
in the history of sports entertainment.
[cheers and boos]
I stand here tonight
in my synagogue of hardcore
and I profess to you
the politically incorrect opinion
that WWE only gets it right
one night a year.
[cheers and applause]
And that is the night that we
as the tribe of extreme…
[cheers and applause]
…unite together and celebrate the fact
that my client Brock Lesnar…
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Paul] …conquered the Undertaker's
undefeated streak
at Wrestlemania!
[cheers and boos]
[Jerry] A memorable moment.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
The 11th Commandment of Extreme
is "Thou shalt not boo Paul Heyman."
[boos]
"Thou shalt worship
the new Paul-Heyman-guy,
the Swiss Superman,
and the new King of Extreme,
Cesaro"!
[sirens]
[John] This guy can talk a fish out of the water
to come take a walk with him.
[Michael] And Cesaro actually tweeted earlier this week,
"If you hear the sirens, seek shelter.
I'm causing destruction tonight."
[cheers and applause]
[heavy metal music]
[John] Cesaro, Van Dam, Swagger.
[Michael] Triple threat action here tonight
at Extreme Rules.
[John] Sounds like a storm warning all right.
[heavy metal music]
[Michael] And we'd like to welcome everyone watching tonight
on the WWE Network
and on your local cable provider
and around the world
in places like Cesaro's
homeland of Switzerland on Maxdome,
[bell ringing]
in Italy, on Sky Primafila,
in Portugal on Sport TV,
and, of course, on the American Forces Network
in our bases around the world, and all of our ships at sea.
And here we go!
Swagger and Van Dam and Cesaro
kicking it off tonight at Extreme Rules.
John, what do you expect in this match-up?
Van Dam realizing
he's going into the lions' den, so to speak.
[John] Yeah, Van Dam knows exactly what he's getting into.
You've got a former ECW champion
in Jack Swagger.
You've got the new Paul-Heyman-guy
who certainly knows something about extreme in Cesaro.
I think RVD knows exactly what he's getting into
and he considers it home.
Well, I was worried about Rob Van Dam.
I would have thought, well, maybe a few weeks ago
there would be some alliances formed here between Cesaro and Swagger,
but I don't think that's gonna' be the case tonight.
[Jerry] Look at these two going at each other.
Here's the power. Paul Heyman realizes
Cesaro is in a bit of trouble early.
Remember the issues
between Swagger and Colter and Van Dam?
Colter wanted Van Dam to join forces with him
against their common enemy in Paul Heyman.
Van Dam said, "I'm not doing that. I'm in this for myself."
[John] That's what I like about this. Everybody's got issues in this match.
I love it.
[Jerry] Common enemies just makes enemies here.
[John] Rob Van Dam sent Cesaro flying right on to Swagger.
[Michael] Nice!
It's gonna' be one of those nights.
[John] That man, Zeb Colter, tweeting throughout the week
that Cesaro should be deported
[Jerry] Here's the cover and a kick-out.
[John] He said, "If you're gonna' deport Cesaro, send Heyman with him."
[Michael] Watch this move by Rob Van Dam.
[John] This worked out perfectly.
Whoa!
[audience cheers]
[John] Uh-oh. Van Dam rolls through.
Second rope. Went for the cross body.
[John] He's caught. [Michael] Cesaro caught him in midair.
[Jerry] Whoa. It's Swagger.
Dangers of a triple threat match here.
Look at this.
[Michael] Near fall, kick-out by Cesaro.
[Paul] I said, "You gotta get the shoulder of the mat."
[Michael] Paul Heyman has been very active on Twitter this week as well.
He's saying that he's always wanted to beat up Zeb.
In fact, remember last Monday, guys?
He actually grabbed
Colter's mustache at ringside.
[fans chanting]
[John] How dare he!
[fans chanting]
[Jerry] You can't grab a man's mustache!
[fans chanting]
You shouldn't grab a man's mustache!
[John] It's not a big one…
-[Michael] Heyman has been tweeting… -[John] …mustache.
[Michael] …texting, calling everyone within
the media's reach, telling them about his client…
[Jerry] Brock Lesnar.
Wow!
[Michael] Well, Jerry, if you had defeated the Undertaker
at Wrestlemania and broken the streak, wouldn't you be doing the same thing?
Enough is enough.
[Jerry] Oh, it's Cesaro.
[John] That streak is about a quarter century…
[Michael] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[John] Oh, man!
[chanting and applause]
[Jerry] Wow.
[John] The official quickly out to check on both men.
[Jerry] And backup…
Swagger turning Van Dam inside-out!
[audience cheers]
[John] Jack Swagger ruling the roost right now.
He's got them both down and out.
Watch this clothesline again.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] And many people think, John, that Swagger is
headed for a major roll.
[Jerry] The cover on Van Dam.
[referee counts]
Kick-out at two. Almost had him.
[John] Now that Zeb Colter, with Cesaro out of the mix,
can focus entirely on Swagger.
[Jerry] I think he is.
Remember last year at Wrestlemania, he headlined it
under the tutelage of Jack Swagger for the World Championship.
[John] Wow, man!
[audience cheers]
[John] Is that enough to put Van Dam away?
-[Michael] That may do it. -[John] Swagger again.
Got him! Did he get him?
Oh, that was close. Thought he had him.
-[boos] -[John] Rob Van Dam just able to get
that left shoulder up.
[Jerry] And Zeb's poised to have him right there again.
Sometimes you dilute the water when you have a superstar like
Cesaro around.
[Michael] Yeah, but JBL, you can say that
Zeb is gonna' concentrate
only on Jack Swagger?
It looked to me like Zeb was trying to get Rob Van Dam
in his fold last week.
[Jerry] You think that Ari Emanuel only has one client?
Look, he's a super agent.
Look at Scott Borak.
He has more than one client.
[Michael] And the Swagger bomb.
Hook of the leg here. And the kick-out again.
[boos]
It's actually Scott Morris.
And there, Cesaro
planted Swagger.
[boos and cheers]
[Michael] And now looking for the Cesaro swing
-[John] Uh-oh. -[Michael] to his old friend.
[Jerry] Man, oh, man.
[John] The king of swing!
[fans counting]
[Jerry] This is making me dizzy.
[John] Oh, no!
[boos]
[Jerry] Rob Van Dam.
[John] And who's gonna' take advantage, King?
Triple threat rules.
[Jerry] Foot to the face of Cesaro,
right in the middle of the swing.
-[Michael] Van Dam. -[Jerry] He got him?
[Michael] Looking to take out Cesaro. And Cesaro at two kicks out.
[boos and cheers]
[John] Cesaro has got to be double dizzy now.
If that's possible.
Look at this swing, but watch this, King. Oh!
[boos]
[Michael] There are bodies everywhere.
[Jerry] Cesaro may be the king of swing,
but I have think Rob Van Dam
may be the king of kicks.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Heyman has been doing so much pacing,
he might lose weight out here at ringside.
And look at Swagger!
Oh, face first. Going into the patriot lock.
Great move by Swagger.
[referee counts]
Submission maneuver locked in and Rob Van Dam patriot lock
Here Van Dam
tried to roll on his back.
Alleviate the pressure. Can't quite do it.
And there's Cesaro, second rope!
Taking out Swagger with the upper cut.
[John] I think that was the only thing that saved Rob Van Dam.
[Jerry] You can bet that Cesaro
wasn't doing it to save Rob Van Dam.
He just didn't want this match to end without him being the winner.
Watch out here!
Blocked!
[Jerry] Swagger and Cesaro just can't stand each other any more.
Oh! An upper cut! That rang his bell.
[Michael] Jack, write a note to yourself.
Don't try to go to the top rope.
Uh-oh.
[John] Oh, wow. Not. No way.
Not with Swagger.
[Michael] 270 pounds Jack Swagger weighs.
-[John] Wait a minute, wait a minute. -[Michael] Oh, my goodness.
[Jerry] And Cesaro, can you believe that?
[John] That is ridiculous!
-[Michael] Oh! Look at that! -[John] Five star splash!
Five star splash!
[Michael] And he got him.
[audience cheers]
What happened?
I thought he had him.
He kicked out?
I thought…
[John] Was it a 2 and 3/4, or 2 and 7/8?
[Michael] I thought Van Dam had him.
[female announcer] Jack Swagger has been eliminated.
-[Michael] Swagger eliminated now. -[John] He's out.
[Michael] In this triple threat elimination match-up.
He did get him.
And now we are down to Rob Van Dam. and Jack Swagger.
[Jerry] Guys, watch this. This is absolutely…
[audience] Ooh!
[Jerry] …unbelievable.
[audience cheers]
Cesaro on that second rope
lifting Swagger with a suplex.
And then Rob Van Dam takes advantage.
[Michael] And now we're down to two now. Cesaro and Rob Van Dam.
Heyman is screaming at Cesaro.
[John] When is Heyman not screaming?
[Michael] Colter and Swagger got to head back to the locker room.
-[Jerry] That is talented. -[Michael] The flat out power, John.
[Jerry] The Swiss Superman.
-[Michael] And he's still hanging on. -[Jerry] Good grief.
[cheers and applause]
-[Michael] Look at this. -[Jerry] That is a freak of nature.
[Michael] Now we're down to a one-on-one match-up.
Here's the cover on Van Dam.
Is it enough? No. Kick-out and near fall.
[boos]
Stay on him! Don't let him breathe!
[audience chanting]
[Michael] It's gonna' be a…
…How much does Heyman want to put his old charge Rob Van Dam away here?
[audience chanting]
Nothing would… nothing would make Paul Heyman any happier.
[audience member] Heyman, you suck!
[John] Oh, look at Van Dam.
[Jerry] Rob Van Dam.
[Michael] Oh, he got caught! Cesaro!
-[Michael] Oh no! -[John] Oh! German suplex!
Right on the back of his neck. And he kicked out at two.
[Jerry] Man. That looked bad.
[Michael] Remember, guys, Rob Van Dam…
At one point a couple of weeks ago offered a word of advice to Cesaro.
He said, "I know Paul Heyman, Cesaro.
Keep your wallet, your house, and your future
far away from this guy."
[Jerry] Cesaro doesn't care.
He knows what Paul Heyman's reputation is.
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] Look at that.
So close here for Cesaro.
And then last week…
Look at Cesaro off the second rope…
[audience] ooh!
Then last week, guys,
it was Paul Heyman who said,
"Hey, listen, I'm not offended.
Van Dam's correct. I'm a conniver, I'm ruthless,
and I'm a liar. But I take my clients to the top.
[John] Yeah, Rob told me that's how he actually first met Paul Heyman.
He reached in his back pocket for his billfold,
and shook hands with Heyman.
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] Man, a lower back kidney area
driven right into the top of the barricade.
[audience cheers]
Heyman is so proud.
Move!
[Jerry] Wait, wait.
What is Cesaro doing here?
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] First driving Van Dam into that wall.
Now on top of the wall. Oh, painful!
-[Jerry] That backfired. -[Michael] He paid for it.
Rob Van Dam.
[audience chanting]
-[Michael] Incoming! -[John] Oh!
[Michael] Vintage Van Dam. Right across the back of the neck!
[audience member] Oh my God!
[fans chanting]
[laughter]
[John] Didn't take long to go Extreme.
[Michael] Watch this.
This is what Rob Van Dam is all about.
[Jerry] Rob Van Dam made that move famous
when he was in ECW.
[John] Heyman has seen that move for years.
[fans chanting]
Rob Van Dam the only person to hold the WWE and ECW championships
at the same time.
-[Jerry] The rolling thunder! -[Michael] Wow!
Is that enough to put away Cesaro here tonight?
Swagger' s already been eliminated in this triple threat elimination match.
[Michael] One thing that Paul Heyman is realizing,
as is Cesaro, is that Rob Van Dam still has it.
[Michael] Van Dam going to go up high.
Split leg moonsault.
This time connected again.
Hooks the leg. And Cesaro with another near fall for RVD.
Cesaro staying in it.
[Paul] This is what we talked about!
[Jerry] Cesaro shaking his head.
You have to pull through on this!
This is what I told you about him!
[Paul] This is where he comes from!
This is your move!
[Jerry] Rob Van Dam is home.
It's extreme.
[Michael] Paul Heyman knows him well.
[announcer] Out come the toys.
[Michael] You can tell from Heyman's comments that he gave a good
scouting report on Van Dam to Cesaro.
[John] Not far from here Rob Van Dam made his move.
[Jerry] It might be time
to take out the trash
Stick Paul Heyman in there!
[Michael] Watch out! Cesaro!
Oh, man.
[laughter]
[boos]
[Jerry] Gonna' destroy that kid.
[John] Cesaro's not big on recycling.
[Jerry] I guess not.
[fans chanting]
[Jerry] Look at the strength of Cesaro.
[Michael] You're right, JBL. It is freakish.
[John] He's a freak of nature.
That's something that you can refine,
but that's something God just gives to some people.
[Jerry] Not good for Van Dam.
[Michael] Oh, Van Dam, look at this.
He may have him here.
Near fall.
[Michael] Now Van Dam…
using the trash can to his advantage.
[cheers and applause]
-[Michael] Heyman knows… -[Jerry] He's in shock right now.
[Michael] Heyman knows. Heyman has seen this far too many times.
[John] Uh-oh!
Wait a minute, Rob.
Uh-oh!
[John] Don't do something foolish.
[Jerry] You know he is.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] The human highlight reel!
[Michael] Five star frog splash!
-[Michael] Cesaro moved out of the way. -[Jerry] Oh, no!
But the can didn't.
[audience cheers]
-[Michael] Oh, no. -[Jerry] Neutralizer on to the can.
[Paul and the audience counting]
[Michael] That's got to be it.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] Cesaro with the victory.
[sirens]
[female announcer] Here is your winner! Cesaro!
[Michael] That's a big win, John, for Cesaro here tonight.
[John] Absolutely huge, you're right, Michael.
Paul Heyman's new guy just beat one of the granddaddies,
The Godfather of Extreme, Rob Van Dam.
[Michael] John, you have said all along that Paul Heyman was gonna' have
a huge effect on the career of Cesaro.
This is just an example.
[John] Let's show you, King, the first elimination of the match.
[Jerry] This is how we said good-bye to Jack Swagger.
[Michael] Five star frog splash from the top,
after Cesaro had done the major damage.
[Jerry] But the second five star frog splash…
Well, maybe only two and a half,
because Cesaro moved out of the way
and left the can there.
Oh.
And then curtains for Rob Van Dam.
[Michael] Cesaro with the victory
here tonight at Extreme Rules.
[bell ringing]
And Heyman is loving it.
[sirens]
[John] Cesaro just beat one of the greatest extreme athletes of all time,
Rob Van Dam.
Paul Heyman has got him an absolute gem,
in the Swiss Superman.
[heavy metal music]
[sirens]
[Larry] Relax.
Push again.
Good. All right.
Again, push.
What do you want?
Larry, would you excuse us
-for a minute, please? -[Larry] Sure.
Look, Daniel, as a member of
the authority, it is my responsibility
to look out for the health
and well-being of all of our superstars and divas,
especially the WWE world heavyweight champion.
And I know I'm the last person you want to see right now,
but I cannot control
"The Demon" Kane.
And now, that's kind of hard for me to admit, but I can't control him
When he choke slammed you in the ring,
and gave you the pile driver through the table
and through the steel stairs,
I mean, you were wearing a neck brace
just a few days ago.
And Daniel, quite frankly,
I don't know what he's going to do to you tonight.
I'm afraid for you.
I'm afraid for you for Brie, for your wife.
I'm afraid for you for your mother,
to have to sit there and watch you
get decimated and torn
limb from limb by the "Demon" Kane.
So the only option that I could
come up with, something for you to consider,
is that you don't have to compete tonight.
[cheers and boos]
You could officially surrender
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
[cheers and boos]
Stephanie…
[cheers and boos]
Get out of my face.
[cheers and applause]
I'm walking into this match
as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion
And somehow I'm gonna' walk out
the exact same way.
[cheers and applause]
Well…
I think what's gonna' happen…
is you're not gonna' be walking out
the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
You're going to be walking out…
What's that word Brie called me last week?
Kane's…
Bitch.
[cheers and boos]
[music]
Life is like climbing a mountain.
[music]
As you trek to the peak,
the terrain gets steeper.
The air gets thinner.
And you aren't sure if you can go on.
[music]
Don't stop climbing.
You can reach the summit of your dreams.
[music]
You just have to…
Bolieve.
[cheers and applause]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the ravishing Russian, Lana!
[music]
[speaking Russian]
Tonight we dedicate this match
to the most powerful man in the world.
[audience cheers]
Tonight we dedicate this match to the man
that makes fools
out of all of you, Americans.
[boos]
Tonight we dedicate this match to the man
that I respect more than any other.
He is my role model.
He is my idol.
[boos]
The president of Russia…
[boos]
Vladimir Putin!
[boos]
[fans chanting]
And now I introduce to you
[fans chanting]
the man that now resides in Russia.
He is the Bulgarian brute,
Alexander Rusev.
[Russian announcement]
[Russian music]
[Michael] This mountain of a man at
305 pounds, 6-foot tall, Alexander Rusev,
who has been running roughshod over WWE
since he arrived here.
[Russian music]
Lana mentioned dedicating this match
to the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
[Russian music]
Mikhail Prokhorov, texted Rusov today.
The owner of the Nets
said he's excited about the match tonight.
As excited as the Nets winning game seven today.
[Russian music]
[Hip Hop music]
Y'all know what time it is?
I tell you what.
Ain't no time for rapping.
It's time for scrapping.
I dedicate this match
to the United States of America!
New Jersey, wassup!
[John] There you go.
[Jerry] Oh, and Rusev, what a kick to the face of Xavier Woods.
This match. I don't think it's even started.
And Rusev…
Look at… oh, hard truth!
[Jerry] Big mistake.
[Michael] This is supposed to be a two-on-one handicap match
and Rusev not even going to let it get started.
as Woods is bounced head first of the steel.
[Jerry] His head is still trying to recover from Rusev's foot
bouncing off before the match even started.
[Michael] And Rusev not through with Woods yet.
[Jerry] Not a good idea for Woods to try to rush
this Alexander Rusev.
[Jerry] The official… I gotta…
Ordering Rusev to stay back until he checks on R-Truth
to see if Truth is ready to go.
Truth says he is.
[bell ringing] And now the catchup's underway.
Supposed to be two on one.
Woods has been taken out and now Rusev turning his aggression towards
R-Truth here.
[Jerry] R-Truth needs to try to avoid this big man
for as long as he can.
to try to recover a little bit here.
[fans chanting]
[Michael] Look the Rusev go, the Bulgarian brute.
Uncanny agility for a 300 plus-pounder
[Michael] I think I hear a "We want Lana" chant.
Pardon me while I join in.
[John] I'll help you.
[Jerry] Look at this guy. Uh-oh.
[Michael] How impressed have you been with Rusev?
-[Jerry] This guy is everything that… -[Michael] No! Oh!
[Jerry] …that Lana says he is.
Trained in Sumo, Sambo, Muay Thai
Unbelievable agility for a big man
[Michael] This super…
[John] And you talk about intelligent. It is true.
The game plan completely out for T-Truth and Xavier Woods.
[Jerry] Xavier Woods is still out on the floor.
Oh, and Truth, now,
trying to show some fight.
Big boot in the face
and here comes R-Truth.
They are expecting a handicap match,
a little preemptive strike by Rusev.
Makes it a world war I match.
[Michael] R-Truth caught him in the jaw.
[John] Big man still on his feet, though.
[Jerry] R-Truth still got some fight though.
[Michael] And the second rope, the big man's down.
Rusev down but quickly back to his feet.
Rusev misses wildly.
and R-Truth… again taking Rusev out.
[Jerry] Cover him!
Wassup!
[John] It's hard to cover him. He keeps getting out.
[Michael] Yeah, you're right.
[Jerry] He may not get up from that though.
R-Truth looking to put Rusev away.
Is it enough to knock off the big man?
What a win for truth. And the kick-out at two.
[John] I think Lana would blow a gasket.
if her man loses.
[Michael] You see the doctor
is attending to Xavier Woods.
John called it a preemptive strike
before this match began.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
And there's the power.
[Michael] Talk like a maven arms.
[John] Can't coach strength.
[Michael] Eh!
[Jerry] And Truth
using his quickness here.
And Rusev launching himself off his feet
and catching Truth.
[Jerry] Man, Rusev turning the tables there.
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] And there's Lana crushing.
And Rusev…
This Lana is vindictive.
She's got a mean streak.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Jerry] R-Truth put up a heck of a fight.
Unfortunately, it was just a matter of time for this.
Xavier Woods got taken out of this thing
before it got started.
Now Rusev, he calls this the accolade.
[Jerry] No!
[Michael] Submission maneuver locked in.
Truth's gotta tap out.
Rusev…
[bell ringing]
…continues his dominance.
[ominous music]
[female announcer] The winner of this match as a result of a submission,
Alexander Rusev.
[ominous music]
[Michael] This guy is awesome.
[Jerry] Look how wide this guy is.
He's gotta turn sideways to go through a door.
[John] Bobby Heenan used to say you could play handball on his back.
[Michael] This guy is huge.
He's dominant.
[John] Look at this… how Xavier Woods was done for
before the match ever got started.
And then this with the finishing touches on Woods.
I don't think we saw any more of him after that
And then… oh, man!
R-Truth just planted.
And the tap-out.
[bell ringing]
Alexander Rusev victorious
in a two-on-one handicap match.
[ominous music]
[Jerry] How do you stop this guy?
[John] No one's come close yet.
[Jerry] Obliterating Woods and Truth.
And Lana, you saw her signal for Rusev
to go right after Xavier Woods again.
Not on the floor.
-[Michael] Oh, sh… -[John] Wow.
[audience] Ooh!
[music]
[Michael] That's how to make a statement.
[Jerry] You think Vladimir Putin is proud right now?
[Michael] Absolutely.
[John] He should be.
[music]
[Jerry] That's how you make an impact.
[female announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
next month America's Champions
will be revealed at the USA special Olympics
USA Games.
Now, WWE is a proud founding partner
of the USA Games,
which will be held right here in New Jersey
[cheers and applause]
Tonight we have a very special treat,
because we have the members
of the New Jersey Special Olympics team
with us!
[cheers and applause]
Good luck to you and to all the
athletes competing next month.
[music]
[cheers and applause]
Please welcome my guests joining me now,
Triple H, Batista, Randy Orton.
Ladies and gentlemen, Evolution.
[cheers and boos]
Triple H, tonight Evolution will finally
get in the ring with The Shield.
What's your game plan going into tonight
The game plan.
The Shield think that our egos
are going to be our downfall.
A lot of people would expect me to come out here
and say we don't have egos.
But the truth is we have egos. We have massive egos.
Egos like you can't believe.
And the thing is, those egos are well deserved
because you are looking, Rene,
at 31 world titles between us.
31 world championships.
Behind you is "The Animal" Batista.
The most powerful, most destructive man
that has ever walked into a WWE ring.
On this side, "The Viper" Randy Orton.
The most naturally gifted athlete
to ever walk into that squared circle.
And "The Cerebral Assassin".
You know why they call me that?
You'll find out tonight.
Do we have egos?
Absolutely.
Are they well deserved?
You bet your ass.
Renee, Hunter said it best.
You either adapt or you perish.
Tonight The Shield will perish.
And you can believe in that.
[cheers and boos]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall and it is for
the Intercontinental Championship
[cheers and applause]
["God save the Queen" playing]
♪ God save our queen ♪
[cheers and applause]
Introducing first
the challenger from Preston, England
weighing in at 256 pounds
Bad News Barrett!
[cheers and applause]
[explosion]
[music]
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
[Jerry] I knew he would.
I love this.
Now, the MERS virus has just made
landfall in the US.
And that means that very soon
everybody here will be struck down
with a debilitating sickness.
[boos]
But mark my words.
Even that will pale in comparison
for the kind of sickness
Big E is about to feel
when I defeat him tonight
for the Intercontinental Championship.
Thank you very much!
[music]
[John] So let's show you how
Bad News Barrett made it to
this match here tonight
winning the Intercontinental Championship
Number One Contenders Tournament
Guys, he knocked off Dolph Ziggler,
Sheamus and Rob Van Dam.
And what a tough road to get here tonight.
[Jerry] You're right about that. No small feat.
And now he's looking to deliver some more
bad news.
[music]
[female announcer] And his opponent
from Tampa, Florida,
weighing in at 285 pounds,
he is the Intercontinental Champion Big E!
[music]
[Carlos] And we are being joined at ringside tonight
for all the action, Extreme Rules,
by our Spanish Announce team
Carlos Cabrera, Marcello Rodriguez and Ricardo Rodriguez.
Hey, guys!
[speaking Spanish]
[music]
[speaking Spanish]
[Jerry] So Big E has held the Intercontinental Championship
since back in November
puts it on the line tonight
against a three-time former champion
Bad News Barrett
[music]
[audience cheers]
So a very aggressive Big E
to say the least, John,
this past Friday night on Smack Down!
A brawl with Titus O'Neil.
[John] Big E opened up the
proverbial can on Titus O'Neil
this past Friday night on Smack Down.
I think Big E is ready.
[Michael] Big E, telling the world after Smack Down…
[bell ringing]
…that that was a statement, a message sent to Bad News Barrett as the
Intercontinental Championship match
gets under way.
We'd like to invite you to join us
on Instagram, WWE's account,
all throughout the night getting exclusive backstage photos and
videos from Extreme Rules,
as Big E shows his agility
and his power.
Big E.
Nice shoulder tackle.
[boos]
[Jerry] Big E, John, we spoke to him
earlier today.
He is focused and ready for this match.
[John] Big E' s watched this
entire tournament unfold.
Somebody will get the chance
to fight him for that Intercontinental Championship
and he says he's ready to go.
We saw Friday night
that he certainly is.
[Michael] Look out!
[John] Big E has definitely been a fighting champion.
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Big E may be a little too ready.
Maybe a little too anxious.
He has to keep under control tonight. Oh!
[Jerry] Barrett bounced off the steel post
[John] A lot of Bad News fans here
in the Meadowland.
[Jerry] Yeah, there is.
[Jerry] You are a Bad News fan, JBL?
-[Michael] Big E! -[John] I think he's awesome.
[Michael] Right to the mid section.
[John] I didn't know that everybody
was gonna' catch the MERS virus like he said.
[Jerry] I still think it would be a good feature
on the WWE Network every night,
bad news at 11:00 with Bad News Barrett.
He'd be a great anchorman on the bad news.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, man!
[John] All news is bad news anyway.
[Michael] Right!
[John] You can catch him on the JBL and Cole Show regularly.
It's the greatest show on television.
[Michael] You know, we saw earlier today at the a…
It's on the Internet, John. YouTube, actually.
[Michael] I know, I watch it all the time.
[Michael] And here's a…
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[Michael] Elbow from the apron to Big E.
[Jerry] They're pulling out all the stops here.
[Michael] Had the extreme pleasure
to spend some time earlier today
with the first-ever Intercontinental Champion,
Pat Patterson, here today.
As on the cover on Big E,
hook of the leg and a kick-out.
[John] Big E.
Pat Barrett is a multi-time
Intercontinental Champion.
He understands you can only win
that title if you pin 'em
in the ring or make 'em submit.
[Michael] The chant means the advantage tonight for Big E.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. That's blocked.
[Michael] Oh, man! Again!
[John] In reverse.
[fans chanting]
[Jerry] Big E rushing in again.
Caught with that elbow.
[Michael] Look at that. Nice move by Barrett!
Quickly into the cover.
Is it enough to put the champion away
for the gold here tonight?
[Jerry] A kick-out at two.
That was a nice move by Bad News there.
[boos]
Using Big E's own momentum,
turning it into a nice suplex.
[Michael] Guys, we talked about this
this past Monday, Bad News Barrett
has been so confident
as of late.
You saw that throughout
the entire run of the tournament.
[John] He's found his niche.
He loves giving bad news.
[Jerry] Yeah.
Oh, man.
[Michael] Cross body.
Lateral press, hooks the leg and a kick-down by Big E.
[Jerry] I've never seen anyone so happy
to deliver bad news as Barrett.
[John] I love when he says that.
I've got some bad news for you.
[Michael] Oh! That's bad news for Big E.
A boot in the face.
[Jerry] Right in the boat.
[Michael] Oh, man.
As physical as they come.
[John] Well, playing the part of Everlast
punching bag is Big E.
[referee counting]
He's being kicked, punched, clubbed.
[Jerry] Much decimated here by Bad News Barrett.
[Michael] Barrett's gotta be careful, though.
If he is disqualified, obviously,
he won't leave here champion.
[referee counting]
[Jerry] Referee's counting and he's let
Big E out of those ropes.
[John] Watch this.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Big E ran into a buzz saw tonight.
[Jerry] He did.
[Jerry] Look at what Bad News had to go through to get to Big E.
[John] You're right. It's been a long road.
[Jerry] This guy is as battle hardened as you can get right now.
The show-off Dolph Ziggler.
[John] Of course, the Celtic warrior Sheamus, how physical was that match?
[Jerry] And then Rob Van Dam last Monday night on "Raw."
[cheers and applause]
And Big E!
[John] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Whoa!
[boos]
That'll buy Big E a little time.
[Jerry] Big E just has an explosiveness about him.
Just when you think you've got him,
boom, there he goes right on you.
[Jerry] Ow, that collision.
Big E in there, 300-pounder.
And there's the belly-to-belly to Barrett.
[boos]
[Jerry] Big E feeling a little better about this match right now.
[Michael] Big E is deceptively quick.
[Jerry] It's that explosiveness that
we talk about on Big E all the time.
[boos]
[Michael] What's Big E gonna' do here?
Barrett's still fighting.
[John] Big E is trying to deliver "bad news" to Barrett.
Watch out.
[Michael] Oh, my goodness!
Driven right on the apron by Big E.
[John] That's really bad news.
[Jerry] Yeah. And that's how much being the Intercontinental Champion
means to Big E.
[Jerry] Man.
That took a lot out of both of them. Watch it! Whoa!
-[audience] Ooh! -[Jerry] Almost cutting Barrett in half.
[Michael] Big E has talked a long time
about how proud he is to be
Intercontinental Champion.
Said he felt he had it in him,
that he was good enough to do it.
Worked day in and day out to get here.
Now looking to retain the Championship.
Can he do it right here? And a kick-out at two.
[John] Big E has been a very good
Intercontinental Champion.
[Jerry] What do you mean, "Has been"?
[John] Well, he has been.
The winds of change from out of nowhere.
Is it enough to hand Barrett the title?
[Jerry] And Big E stays in it.
[Jerry] I know you're a Bad News Barrett fan,
but don't start calling Big E "a has-been."
[John] I'm not saying "a has-been."
I'm saying, "Up until now he's been a great champion."
He's being a great champion right now.
To take a championship away from a guy,
you need to fight like Big E is fighting right now,
like you're in somebody else's body.
[Jerry] Here's "The Winds of Change" by Barrett.
That was impressive.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[John] Went to the well once too often.
[Jerry] Tried that… tried that spear again.
Oh, look at what Barrett's got.
Big E looking for "Wasteland" here.
"Wasteland" to try to win the Championship
That's it. That's it.
Hook at the leg.
Big E is in trouble.
Near fall.
[boos]
[John] Barrett thought he had him.
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Uh-oh.
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] And he's looking for the
Bad News bull hammer elbow.
[boos]
[John] And here it comes! Oh!
[Michael] Big E caught him and planted him.
Oh, with one arm.
And Big E to retain the title.
[Jerry] And Barrett stays alive.
[John] And Big E put Barrett down with authority.
But Barrett able to kick-out.
Now what?
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Big splash from Big E.
-[Jerry] Barrett is squashed. -[Michael] Oh-oh.
[boos]
[Michael] Strap is coming down, King!
This means bad news for Wade Barrett.
Uh-oh.
-[John] Going for the Big Ending! -[Michael] Wait.
[audience cheers]
Look at this.
Missed him.
[Michael] Bull hammer!
[audience cheers]
Bull hammer!
[Jerry] From out of nowhere.
[audience counts]
-[John] Bad News Barrett is the new… -[bell ringing]
Intercontinental Champion!
[female announcer] Here is your winner
and the new Intercontinental Champion
Bad News Barrett!
[music]
[Jerry] What a long tough road for Bad News.
to get to the top of the mountain
to become the Intercontinental Champion.
[Michael] A four-time Intercontinental Champion.
[music]
[Jerry] Fellas, that bull hammer elbow
turned out to be Bad News for Big E.
[Michael] And John, I can guarantee you
Bad News Barrett's gonna' savor this one more than the other three.
[Jerry] Watch this.
Uh-oh.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] The Bad News bull hammer.
[John] One more look at that.
That man would knock a train off the tracks.
[audience counting]
[bell ringing]
[music]
[Michael] We talked about confidence.
Bad News Barrett.
It's oozing out of his body tonight.
Boo!
[Jerry] Best part about this,
we can hear more bad news
all the time now.
[music]
[Michael] They're celebrating in Preston,
England, tonight.
[music]
[Jerry] A lot of Bad News fans here
in the Meadowland.
Congratulations,
Bad News Barrett!
[music]
[Michael] Extreme Rules tonight at the
Izod Center
In the shadow of New York City.
We're sold out tonight,
15,907 WWE fans on hand
as we get set for the present clashing with the future.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Michael] Kings clashing with soldiers.
A rebellion is upon us.
Evolution versus The Shield as
as Triple H looks to punish those
who turned on him.
[music]
[Triple H] One of my jobs as C.O.O. is finding
the greatest talent
from around the globe.
[music]
And at the top of the list,
there's no one higher
than The Shield.
So I gave them the platform.
I gave them the opportunity.
[music]
I gave them power.
Maybe I gave them too much
power.
You're not breaking this down
into a war!
Okay?
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] A spear to Triple H!
[music]
[Triple H] When you set out on a journey
to find where that line is in the sand,
[music]
don't cross the line.
[Michael] Eleven men have been sent out
here by The Authority.
[John] The Shield are holding their ring.
[Michael] Yeah. The numbers game now against The Shield.
[music]
[Michael] Oh, man.
[Jerry] This may go from bad to worse.
[announcer] The Animal Batista, The Viper
Randy Orton and The Game
Triple H.
[Michael] One of the strongest factions
in WWE history, known as
Evolution.
[Triple H] See, the thing is this,
Shield.
I brought you into this world.
[Jerry] The Shield have been rendered helpless.
[Triple H] And you are looking…
…at the three guys that are gonna'
take you out of it.
[cheers and applause]
At Extreme Rules…
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[yelling]
The Shield will step into the
ring with the most destructive
force the WWE has ever seen.
[music]
[Michael] Tonight, Roman Reigns
takes on Randy Orton.
Oh!
Roman Reigns getting fired up here.
[music]
Batista up on the apron and
Triple H just yanked the leg of
Roman Reigns.
-[Jerry] Door-knock! -[Michael] …the distraction.
[music]
[Michael] Dean Ambrose and Rollins going for
Batista and Triple H.
And here we go!
[audience cheers]
Referee has no control over the brawl.
The melee, the chaos continues out here
[Jerry] Not very often you see the numbers game
work against The Shield.
[Triple H] There's a simple rule…
…in life.
[Michael] What a beating
Evolution is putting on The Shield.
[Triple H] You either adapt
or you perish.
I think The Shield may be losing their yard.
[Triple H] That is Evolution.
[Michael] Triple H going for the pedigree.
Look at Rollins!
[Jerry] No!
[audience cheers]
[announcer] The hounds of justice…
We'll do what we always do.
[John] Randy Orton dispensed.
And now, oh!
[Michael] And Batista.
This is power!
[Seth] True power.
[Michael] And Triple H has no backup.
[Roman] This here…
-[John] Spear! -[Jerry] Spear!
This is the future.
[Michael] Folks, we have a collision coming Sunday.
[John] We've got a war coming Sunday.

The fact that they are back after ten years,
I think they are better than ever.

[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, it was this past Monday night on "Raw"
where The Shield received
the highest of accolades
from the two time Hall of Famer,
the 16-time world champion
and former Evolution member Ric Flair,
"The Nature Boy" came out
to the ring and he talked groups
over the years
that had dominance and power
and style and grace,
but he wasn't referring, John, to Evolution.
He was referring to The Shield.
[John] I was shocked by the turn of events
of "The Nature Boy".
[Jerry] Do you know who was shocked more than you?
Evolution.
[music]
[Michael] This is gonna' be an all out war.
[audience cheers]
"Animal" Batista, "The Viper" Orton,
"The King of Kings", Triple H,
against the trio known as The Shield.
[music]
[John] Hell is about to break loose.
[music]
[Michael] Historic night at Extreme Rules.
[cheers and boos]
Three of the all-time greats
on one side of the ring.
Three men who were doing
everything in their power to
become all-time greats on the
other side.
[Jerry] Yeah, you might as well say it…
Three future greats.
[cheers and boos]
I don't think there is any way to doubt that.
[cheers]
[John] I know enough you have to put it
in the future tense, King.
[Jerry] You're right.
[John] These guys have dominated WWE
for well over a year.
[Michael] Yeah, 18 months.
And here we go!
The Shield and Evolution
squaring off to start this match
here in Extreme Rules.
[audience cheers]
It's Rollins and Triple H,
-[Michael] Batista, Ambrose… -[John] Wow!
[Michael] …and Reigns and Orton.
[audience cheers]
[John] It's what we expected…
[Jerry] And The Shield hold the ring,
first battle to The Shield!
[cheers and applause]
[boos]
[Michael] Man, who would have thunk it.
The Shield have cleared the ring.
[Jerry] Reigns, Ambrose, and Rollins
standing their grounds.
[John] We're just getting started, King.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] They saw…
[audience chanting]
…almost a shocked look on the face of Randy Orton
here at ringside in front of us.
-[Michael] Batista, as well. -[John] Yeah.
[Michael] It's regroup time for Triple H & Company.
[Jerry] Here they come again.
Not one at a time.
[Jerry] That's not gonna' work well. [bell ringing]
The referee's got this thing
under control, hopefully.
[Michael] Seth Rollins starts things off
against Triple H.
Rollins tweeting earlier today
that tonight "We usher in a new era
by disposing "trash"
of the old one.
We'll carry the flame from here",
says Rollins,
as "The Shield vs. Evolution" already trending
worldwide on Twitter.
[audience chanting]
Rollins.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] John, what wins out in this match?
Youth or experience?
[Seth Rollins yelling]
[audience chanting]
[John] I go with the experience.
Look, to me it's…You gotta' make a call.
Let's make a call. I go with Evolution.
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] Here comes Seth Rollins!
Look out!
Triple H!
[audience] Ooh!
That has become the style of Seth Rollins.
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] I don't know who's gonna' win this thing,
but I will tell you this,
Whichever team… Whichever team does win,
all six of these guys
will never be the same after this match.
[Michael] Oh, triple Axel with a wicked clothesline.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Seth Rollins will never be the same
after that.
[audience cheers]
[audience chanting]
[John] Welcome to the big time, Seth.
[Jerry] He will remember that…
[boos]
…for the rest of his life.
[Michael] Tag made to Batista,
"The Animal Man" in the ring
against Rollins.
And now, Batista, a six-time world champion…
[boos]
…backing Rollins into the corner.
And here, "The Animal" goes to work.
Stay down! Stay down! Stay down!
Triple H, in a telling response
to Rollins' remark earlier today
when he said, "don't warm your hands
with that flame just yet.
Remember, I control what burns
and what doesn't."
[audience cheers]
[John] Truer words may not have ever been spoken.
[Michael] You're right.
Thinking the same thing.
[audience cheers]
Look at this.
Taking advantage of Evolution.
Two feet in the throat of Seth Rollins.
[Miichael] I was gonna mention, King,
the veteran instincts there,
you saw Orton go to the corner.
Mouthed off to The Shield
bringing the referee with him,
and that allowed the Double Team
by the remainder of Evolution.
Oh!
[John] I don't think you'll see Evolution
get rattled.
I don't think you'll see them
make many mistakes.
They will take advantage of everything
just as you saw that
they possibly can.
[Jerry] Watch this.
Oh!
[Michael] Did you notice Orton peek
over his shoulder,
just glancing at The Shield's corner?
Oh, c'mon ref!
[Jerry] He's been there, done that.
He knows what he would be doing. Oh!
If he were a member of The Shield right now.
[Michael] And Here comes Triple H,
"The Cerebral Assassin", the 13-time
World Champion.
He is now the C.O.O. of WWE.
[audience cheers]
Well-documented how he brought
The Shield here.
[John] Well, right now they don't have to
worry about him being C.O.O.
They better worry about the fact
that he is a 13-time World Champion.
[audience chanting]
They got to worry about
the game right now.
[Michael] A vindictive…
Oh!
…man as Triple H.
[John] Wouldn't you be?
[Michael] Hooking the leg on Rollins.
[John] He calls these guys in.
These guys double crossed him.
[Michael] I don't think they doubled crossed
as Batista comes in the tag.
You got to remember it was
Triple H who put out the initial hit
on The Shield last month.
[audience cheers]
That's what started this whole thing.
[John] No, what started this whole thing
was The Shield being insubordinate employees,
is what's started it.
Oh!
[Jerry] Let me tell you what may finish it.
The fact that Seth Rollins could not get the… Wow!
…the tag out.
[Michael] He's been in there a long time,
and he's taken a lot of punishment.
[Jerry] Just a straight boot in the ear.
[Michael] This is vintage Evolution.
Keeping Rollins away from his partners.
[audience chanting]
Frequent tags… Covering the near fall kick-out.
Take another look here.
Watch this, King, they'll ring the bell.
[Michael] As JBL said, right in the ear.
Oh!
-[Michael] Oh, man, -[John] That hurts.
Ah!
[Michael] Compressing that cartilage
can cause a nice, big, ugly…
[Jerry] Cauliflower ears.
[Michael] Man, this shows absolutely no absence of malice.
Randy Orton…
Ugh…
…takes pleasure in punishing his opponents.
First ever in WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
putting in the leg here by the 12-time World Champion,
and the kick-out.
[boos]
[Jerry] Randy Orton takes pleasure
in punishing his opponents.
He's in ecstasy right now.
[Michael] Look at what Orton's doing here,
playing mental games now with Rollins,
allowing them to look at his partners,
as Orton stares at them as well.
But Rollins can go nowhere to make the tag.
[John] That little evil grin on the
face of Randy Orton as he's got the upper hand.
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] Rollins desperately trying to make it to
Reigns or Ambrose.
But Orton drags him back.
Momentarily… Rollins creates some separation.
[cheers and applause]
[John] Rollins needs a tag
desperately.
[Jerry] Ambrose… is he gonna be able to get there?
[John] Reigns stand at the ready.
Rollins dragging himself there,
Batista's almost there.
[Michael] Oh! I was gonna say we almost didn't see him,
But Batista made the tag on the other side.
[John] Could've told ya'.
They're not going to make
many mistakes.
[Jerry] The referee didn't see it made any way
and Orton remains in the ring.
[Michael] And listen to this crowd react.
[Jerry] What did you expect?
Did you expect anything else?
[John] Now Rollins lands on his feet… [Michael] Oh, my God!
…and he's caught in the
back of the head.
Now it's crunch time for both men.
[referee counting]
Well, Rollins needs to get out of there
more than Orton does.
And there's the tag. Oh, boy!
[Jerry] The United States Champion.
[audience cheers]
Dean Ambrose, he's fresh,
he's lighting them up.
[Jerry] He's eccentric, but he is effective.
[Michael] Fists are flying everywhere.
[John] Remember, Ambrose just retained his United States title
a couple of nights ago
on Smack Down in a fatal four way match.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] And Batista blasted off the apron.
[John] Oh, man.
[Jerry] Ambrose, look at him go!
Ambrose is out there.
[audience cheers]
[John] Ambrose is past left field,
he's so far out there.
[boos]
-[Michael] Look at this! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] He's got it in, the figure four.
[John] Talk about putting salt in the wound.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] The game put a stop to that pretty quick.
And now Roman Reigns clearing the ring
Hey! C'mon now!
Things are starting to get ugly now and can't say that I didn't expect this.
-[Michael] Watch out! -[John] Batista driven into the barricade.
[Jerry] Good grief!
Roman Reigns is manhandling Batista.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Triple H side-stepped.
[John] A veteran move.
[Jerry] Right inside of the steel steps.
[audience clapping]
[Michael] And Ambrose the legal man.
Triple H, how smart, back on the apron,
calling forward, taking advantage now
of the other two members of The Shield,
who are down and out.
Evolution begins a three on one attack.
That's how Reigns was taken out.
[John] Well, you ask how smart?
You gotta' be pretty smart
to be nicknamed "The Cerebral Assassin".
[Michael] Seth Rollins back up on the apron
on the other side.
But Orton again…
look at Randy Orton,
Triple H, the rabid assault on the house of justice.
[John] Long before The Shield had the numbers game,
Evolution had the numbers game.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] WWE fans getting all over Batista.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Bootista.
[audience chanting]
Triple H bashes Ambrose off the apron.
[Jerry] Bodies are flying everywhere,
[Michael] Oh!
[John] You threw it all, Evolution.
[Jerry] And Ambrose kicking ass!
[John] Threw it all and the Evolution is in total control.
[Jerry] Here comes Orton again,
frequent tags.
Let's go. One in, one out. Let's go!
[Michael] Not many groups, John,
that can match the chaos of The Shield.
The Evolution, however, can.
[John] The Shield thrive in chaos.
[audience cheers]
But so does Evolution.
[Jerry] What a close run!
[referee counting]
Hook in the leg here. Ambrose!
[boos]
[Triple H] Okay, dig, dig, dig, dig!
Notice when Ambrose kicked out,
Orton grabbed the leg
and instinctively kept Ambrose
from making it to his corner.
[Rollins] Oh, boy!
[Michael] Man… Dean Ambrose
in a world of hurt right now.
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] And Orton just staring The Shield's corner
as he continues to torture Ambrose.
[Michael] That's just his version of visual smack, there.
[audience chanting]
[John] This is the old master
showing the new guys a thing or two.
[Michael] This is the pace right now
that Evolution wants.
[cheers and applause]
Adapt or perish.
[Jerry] The words of Triple H.
[audience cheers]
Ambrose starting to get out there,
but he's always been out there.
Oh! What a dropkick by Orton.
Picture perfect!
Is this enough to put away
Dean Ambrose and The Shield?
And a kick-out at two!
[boos]
Guys, you gotta' admit,
Orton can… he can do it all.
[audience cheers]
So can this man.
One of the greatest ever.
Watch out!
Triple H with the right hand.
[audience chanting]
He's jacked the jaw
of Dean Ambrose.
[Reigns] Take a swing at him.
C'mon!
C'mon, Dean!
[Jerry] Dean wants to fight,
but there might not be much fighting left.
A desperate call.
Come on, Dean, come on, Dean.
Hot Damn.
The mid section. And head.
[audience cheers]
Ambrose, I don't think he knows
where he is right now.
He's absorbed a lot of punishment.
-[Michael] Whoa! -[Jerry] Enough instinct…
[Jerry] …to put the boot up there.
[John] Spine-buster by Triple H.
[Jerry] They do it.
[Michael] He's rattling Ambrose.
[boos]
He'll stay in the match.
C'mon up!
[boos]
[Jerry] Now Batista.
[boos]
[Michael] John, this is Evolution
as we know it, isn't it.
[John] It certainly is.
[Michael] Just a clinic right now.
Is this a knockout again?
[John] I think these guys knew
just like everybody else knows,
this is the battle of the ages.
[Michael] Those knees, guys.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Like the six guys that are in there,
you goof!
[audience chanting]
[John] Apparently 16,000
here at the Izod Center
for WWE Extreme Rules.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Ambrose fighting desperately.
[audience cheers]
[Reigns] C'mon, big man!
[Michael] Trying to somehow
get back to his feet.
[audience cheers]
He does, can he create…
Short of salvation.
[Michael] that may work.
[boos]
[Jerry] Can Ambrose capitalize, though?
Oh, man!
[boos]
Big boot.
[boos]
[Michael] Batista still a little rattled,
but tags out to the game.
[cheers and boos]
[Michael] Just taking his time now.
[boos]
[John] Triple H is completely
in his element right now.
[Michael] Yeah, and that's what Triple H…
Triple H predicted this was
gonna' happen, guys.
[Jerry] Yeah, one of the worst things
that can happen to you…
[John] This could be over real quick!
[Michael] Ooh!
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] …is have a guy beat you up
and smile while he's doing it.
[cheers and applause]
[John] Dean Ambrose crashed Triple H
off the DDT.
Can Ambrose get to either Rollins
or Reigns?
[Michael] And, Triple H's body is limp.
[Jerry] He may be out.
[applause]
[Jerry] This is Dean Ambrose's chance.
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Triple H trying to grab
a boot…
[Jerry] Anything.
[Michael] Now Triple H decides to make
the tag to Batista,
and here comes the powerhouse!
[audience cheers]
Roman Reigns!
[Jerry] You're right,
here comes the power!
[audience cheers]
Wow!
[cheers and applause]
This place has exploded!
Wow!
[audience cheers]
Whoa!
Dugout!
Oh, man, what a right hand from Roman Reigns.
[Michael] Batista floored,
[Jerry] Orton sent over the top rope,
and now Roman Reigns
bringing the fight out here
[Jerry] It's out, guys.
And he's going up.
He misses wildly!
[John] Oh, and he caught Batista!
[audience cheers]
And now he got Triple H!
[audience cheers]
[Batista] Oh!
[audience cheers]
And now Roman Reigns is a one-man
wrecking crew.
[Jerry] Roman Reigns almost threw
Randy Orton through that wall.
[audience chanting]
Batista!
Batista stops Reigns momentarily.
Oh, Seth Rollins!
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] Silver Fox! Oh my God!
The Shield are dominating.
[boos]
[Jerry] Batista's on green street, recovering.
[boos]
[John] They're going for it, guys. [Michael] They don't wanna' cover him,
they wanna' bury him!
[Michael] They're going for the triple power-bomb!
[boos]
[Jerry] The Shield, look at them take
out "The Animal".
[cheers]
Triple power bomb!
Batista for the victory!
[referee and the audience count]
[Michael] Oh, and Evolution,
[boos]
saving the match-up.
[boos]
[Michael] And Rollins! Nobody home!
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh, Rollins crashed
and burned right into the wall.
[John] Wow, missed.
[Jerry] Triple H, Batista's down off
the triple power bomb.
Reigns is down.
Their category!
[John] There's that experience
you talked about, JBL.
Batista with an illegal man.
Now Ambrose taking on Triple H.
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] It's going everywhere.
Oh, look out.
[cheers and applause]
Wow, this got bad!
This is bad!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Reigns and Batista,
in the ring of illegal man.
[audience chanting]
I guess when the C.O.O.
is in the match-up,
the referee lets a lot of things go by.
That's what is happening here.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Randy Orton… and Roman Reigns with an RKO.
There's the pedigree.
That is RKO!
[John] That's it.
[John] And now Batista
will take advantage.
[Jerry] Evolution's gonna' win it!
And Seth Rollins saving the match-up.
[cheers and applause]
[Jerry] It's Extreme Rules, baby.
[John] It can't get any
more extreme than this.
Watch it!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Now Rollins and Orton
fighting outside the ring.
Triple H and Ambrose
took each other out
at the Spanish announce table.
Batista and Reigns are legal.
Oh, into the barricade!
[audience cheers]
The cameraman is down.
Guys, look out.
Help him!
[Jerry] It is out of control now.
[Michael] It is chaotic here.
[Jerry] Rollins is in trouble.
Rollins is in deep,
deep trouble.
[Michael] Oh, my god, Dean Ambrose
just ran over both announce
tables and took out Orton and Triple H.
[Jerry] What the Hell!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Dean Ambrose,
what an incredible move.
He just ran the light the both announce
tables and took out Orton and Triple H.
[John] He's gone wild.
Dean Ambrose has lost it.
[Jerry] They're having a fight! Heading out into the Izod Center.
Be careful out.
Look out people!
Ooh!
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] This is dangerous!
[Michael] This is dangerous!
[audience cheers]
[John] This is incredible.
We need…
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] We need security,
We need help or something.
This is out of control.
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] Whoa, look at Ambrose still going.
[audience chanting]
Orton and Ambrose up in the stands
here of the Izod Center
They're going way up top.
[John] Oh, Come on.
[audience] Ooh!
[John] We said Hell was gonna' break loose!
It certainly has!
[audience cheers]
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] None of these guys are
the legal men in the match.
So, they can fight wherever they want.
[Michael] People need to stay back. Watch out!
[audience] Ooh!
[audience chanting]
-[John] Those steps. -[Jerry] Yeah, working' it.
Triple H is stalking Ambrose.
[audience cheers]
[John] Are they up in the concourse somewhere?
Oh!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] This is just…
[audience yelling]
[Jerry] I know one thing.
Dean Ambrose out there by himself.
[John] Yeah, not a good situation for him.
Or Shield.
[Michael] This is a lesson time for Orton and Triple H.
[John] You wanna pick a fight with Evolution?
You got a fight with Evolution.
[Michael] You don't cross the…
Wait, wait, wait a minute!
Seth Rollins!
Seth Rollins was thrown out of the stands!
Seth Rollins from out of the stands!
[Jerry] Where in the Hell did he come from?
[Michael] He came out of the sky!
He jumped from the top of the stands!
[audience cheers]
He landed on Triple H and Randy Orton.
[audience cheers]
[John] There are bodies everywhere.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Meanwhile, back in the ring,
Batista and Reigns are finally coming-to.
Spine buster from Batista.
[Jerry] Roman Reigns ran right into that.
[boos]
Have a taste of bomb to put this one away.
Uh oh, suddenly punched!
Batista's out!
Right on the button.
[Michael] Look at Roman Reigns!
Here he comes!
Bam!
[audience counting]
[Michael] The times, they are changing!
[music]
[announcer] The winner of the match, The Shield!
[music]
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Change sweeping through WWE tonight!
The Shield has silenced
Evolution.
[Jerry] What a battle we just saw.
[Michael] Absolutely incredible.
[Jerry] Boys, this was a wild one. This is from early on. It was…
I mean, this thing was wild
and out of control from the get go.
Incredibly it only got worse.
Watch Seth Rollins fly,
but nobody home, head first into the wall
Look at this!
Dean Ambrose running across both
announce tables, diving into the
time-keepers.
Seth Rollins out of the top of
the building.
Look! Look at this!
[audience] Ooh!
He's lost his mind.
And this was the closing moment
that huge Superman punch,
and then the spear!
Oh!
[referee and audience counting]
[Michael] Guys, Roman Reigns said that kings
don't win wars, soldiers do.
The Hounds of Justice prevailed
and as those three men say,
believe in The Shield.
[music]
I'm Adam Rose.
Welcome to the exotic express,
my humble abode on the road.
And remember, it's party time.
All the time!
Don't be a lemon.
Be a rosebud!
[music]
Next stop, Monday night "Raw"!
[cheers]
Come along. Love bunnies.
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen,
that steel cage tonight is
designed to keep John Cena and
Bray Wyatt inside and the
remainder of the Wyatt family
outside.
As Bray Wyatt continues to try
to rip apart and tear apart the
legacy of John Cena.
That cage symbolically may
be Cena's last line of defense
to keep Bray's message
from spreading around the world
like a virus.
It all began at Wrestlemania,
Bray trying to prove Cena is a fraud.
[music]
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt insisted there is
a monster inside John Cena.
I know he's in there!
[John] And he wants to expose that part of Cena
Be the monster!
[Cena] You tried your best at
Wrestlemania to bring this
monster out, but I got news for you.
It doesn't exist.
[Jerry] John Cena almost crossed over
to the dark side.
[John] But the thing is he didn't.
John Cena stayed true to himself tonight.
He stayed true to the C-Nation.
If I lost to you, John, in
Wrestlemania, then why can't I
stop smiling?
And why do I feel so good?
[Cena] My biggest fear is this loose
canon gains enough momentum for
people to be hypnotized.
[Bray] They do not love you any
more, John.
[Cena] And, that's the thing, people are listening to him.
Every time we cross paths,
John, I take more
of them with me.
You and you, my brother, and
you, my sisters, they are all
coming with me.
He has a weird way of holding
people's attention.
[Bray] Your people, John, were given a choice.
[announcer] You, the WWE universe, get to
pick John Cena's opponent tonight.
[Bray] You could have given John
a fair fight!
But you didn't.
[Michael] Cena in a three on one
handicap match.
[Bray] You threw him to the wolves
like a piece of meat.
[music]
[John] That Cena though.
[Michael] How does he do it?
[John] Cena's gonna' do it.
Cena's gonna' do it.
Right up on the shoulders.
[John] You got to be kidding me, no way.
[Michael] And it's Luke Harper saving
the match.
And now Rowan.
Now the mugging of Cena.
[music]
[Bray] Listen as it happens John.
Won't they sing with me.
♪ He's got the whole world in ♪
♪ his hands ♪
♪ he's got the whole world in ♪
♪ his hands ♪
[Bray] Don't you worry about a
thing kids, I've got him right
where I want him.
[music]
[evil laugh]
[Bray] How does it feel now, John!
♪ He's got the whole c-nation ♪
Sing with me.
[Bray] Me and you got a date with
destiny, John.
Inside a steel cage.
[unintelligible]
[evil laugh]
[Bray] Your nightmares have become my dreams come true!
In my dreams, I see them one by one,
they will all follow me!
[evil laugh]
[Bray] They do not love you
anymore, John.
[audience cheers]
[music]
[boos and cheers]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following is a steel cage match.
The only way to win is by
pinfall, submission or escaping
the cage.
Introducing first from west
Newbury Massachusetts, weighing
in at 251 pounds, John Cena!
[cheers and boos]
[Michael] John Cena considers this a
critical night, an opportunity
to perhaps silence Bray Wyatt's
message once and for all.
[music]
[Michael] Nearly 16,000 at the Izod
Center here tonight.
Just across the parking lot a
couple of years ago at MetLife
Stadium, John Cena and The Rock
in one of the biggest main
events in Wrestlemania history.
John Cena said, "If you battle
The Rock, it was about
competition".
It was about the Championship.
Battling Bray Wyatt is so much
different in Cena's mind.
[Jerry] Oh, you're right about that.
[John] It's more about Bray Wyatt's
message than it is about Bray
Wyatt himself.
And that's what this cage is all about.
John Cena wants to cage that
message and not let it get out.
[audience cheers]
Izod Center.
[cheers]
We're here.
[music]
[Jerry] Only bad thing is
that message may already be out.
[music]
[Jerry] Guys, there's thousands of lights here in this arena.
You know every one of them represents
a Bray Wyatt follower.
[Michael] You know,
it's amazing to me that
so many people applauding to this message
from this manic pied Piper,
Bray Wyatt.
[boos]
[John] i think he's a con artist.
[Jerry] Well, obviously a lot of people don't,
and disagree with you.
[Jerry] The number one trend in the world
right now on Twitter is WWE
Extreme Rules.
[Michael] Yeah, after that last match with
Evolution and The Shield,
what do you expect?
Can it get any more extreme?
[Jerry] Well, I think we're about to
witness the fact that it can.
[Michael] The usual action for John Cena here tonight
as Bray Wyatt…
[Jerry] What is he doing?
[Michael] Rattling the cage.
Rattling his followers.
Getting them fired up.
Cena knows what this is all about.
He's talked about the symbolism
of keeping Wyatt's message inside.
[Jerry] And Bray Wyatt may not know
exactly what he's in store for
inside this steel cage.
[Jerry] Keep Rowan and Harper outside.
[Michael] And Rowan and Harper look like
they need to be caged.
[Jerry] Cena says that Wyatt is
corrupting and manipulating the masses.
[John] I think they're choosing to
follow him.
[audience chatter]
[bell ringing]
[Michael] Again, the match-up under way.
The rules of the match, you can win this
match via pin-fall, submission,
escape over the top, or through the door.
At the referee's discretion,
he will open the door
when he thinks a competitor can escape.
Both feet must hit the floor.
This is what you wanted, right?
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] John a little concerned
about the fact that Rowan and Harper still
right here by that door.
[Jerry] Now John Cena,
hope to put away Wyatt early.
[boos]
John, if Cena has his way, would he like this at least to be
somewhat of a wrestling match?
As opposed to a brawl in there?
[John] No, he knows exactly
what he's in there for.
He's in there with a guy that
belongs in a cage, Bray Wyatt.
And to beat a guy like Bray Wyatt,
John Cena knows he's
gonna be in a fight.
[Jerry] Now Wyatt from behind.
[unintelligible]
[Jerry] A clubbing blow
right across the shoulders.
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt praying that John
Cena has lost the love of the
C-Nation.
There is always an anti-establishment faction
out there for anybody.
Oh!
[audience chanting]
[Michael] This seems a little more than
just anti-establishment.
They're buying what he's selling.
[Jerry] And it seems like it's growing
every single week.
Like an old carpet back in the day
selling a magic potion.
[John] You would be a good carpet bagger.
[audience chatter]
Oh, oh.
Cena.
[Michael] Actually a suplex by Cena.
And he stuns Bray Wyatt.
Will John go for an escape here
early on, trying to,
and as he climbs, he…
[Jerry] Wait a minute, right into the
spaced out eyes of…
[John] Wait, wait, what's this now?
-[Jerry] Oh! -[John] Oh!
[Michael] Remember, cage was designed
to keep those two guys out,
Harper and Rowan.
[John] Yeah, but Harper and Rowan
may keep John Cena in, blocking his
escape path like that.
[Jerry] You really want to climb out
down to those two?
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Cena fighting back.
[Jerry] No doubt that Bray Wyatt has
fueled the emotions of the fans
that you hear with those chants.
[Jerry] Oh, and Cena bounces off the steel cage,
you know, John… John Cena won the match
against Bray Wyatt at
Wrestlemania, but all that did to me,
it seemed like it just fueled Bray Wyatt
to the next level.
[John] Well, Bray Wyatt is convinced now
that a monster in John Cena
is so deeply hidden it's not
coming out, or it's not there.
What Bray Wyatt wants is his
message to be everywhere, and he
sees John Cena as the impediment
to that.
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt is not [unintelligible] certainly,
This is an understatement, but he's not a
typical WWE superstar.
I think there are more
important things to Bray Wyatt
than just winning
or losing match.
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt wants people
to follow him.
And he knows the only way for
that to happen in a way that has
massive amounts of volume
is to get rid of John Cena.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
[Michael] You know guys, I think we all
were hoping this was gonna' be a fair fight.
I think in the back of our mind we knew
it wasn't gonna' be.
[Jerry] I didn't think about those
guys being able to get involved
from the outside like that.
[audience chanting]
You know, are these people actually
brainwashed by Bray Wyatt?
Oh, no!
[John] Just because you follow a person
doesn't mean you're brainwashed.
They're obviously
doing little bit more than following.
[Jerry] And a cover, a kick-out at two.
[John] They're buying what he's selling.
They're singing and swaying, and…
[Jerry] Watch this outside interference here!
[John] People want to belong
to something.
They see a charismatic leader like
Bray Wyatt and they wanna' follow him.
[Jerry] Now, Wyatt, like this evil…
…maestro.
I don't know why had…
[Michael] Now look at that, the door's open,
the door's open, door's open,
Bray Wyatt trying to escape.
Bray Wyatt was trying to escape
through the door, and John Cena
just intercepted him.
[Jerry] Man, that was close.
[John] He was over here watching
Harper.
[Jerry] Oh, and Bray Wyatt bounced
off the steel cage.
And now John Cena buys himself
a little bit of time.
[audience chanting]
And Cena looking,
perhaps to escape again.
Up to the second rope, and he
goes over the top rope.
Both feet must hit the floor.
[Michael] Look at this again.
[John] Look what he's climbing down to.
Is that really an option?
[Michael] Look into the eyes
of Harper and Rowan
[Jerry] Well he's not… [John] Maybe he is.
[Jerry] John Cena's out!
[Michael] Cena's up over the top.
John Cena is out!
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt, oh, he's got him
by the head.
Top of the head, Bray Wyatt trying
to drag Cena back
into the steel cage.
[audience cheers]
[John] Oh.
[Jerry] Wyatt bounced off the steel.
Now Cena's got a decision.
[boos]
[John] Going again, John Cena
trying to get out again.
[Michael] All up the top of the…
…the cage again.
[audience yelling]
[boos]
[Jerry] John Cena up top, Bray Wyatt
now climbing the ropes, trying to climb
the cage.
[audience yelling]
Oh!
[John] Oh!
[fighting]
[Michael] John Cena is the one who
wanted the steel cage match.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[John] Bray Wyatt!
[John] Look out!
I think John Cena might have won
this match just a few seconds ago
if it hadn't been for those two
goons outside the cage.
[Jerry] Yeah, they absolutely stopped
his exit.
[Michael] Here's Braniac, remember
pin-falls, submissions will win this.
Along with escape.
[Michael] Why is he smiling there?
Oh, he's sadistic.
[audience chanting]
Like you said, JBL, there are
people out there who think he's cool.
[audience chanting]
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[John] Shall we dance?
[Jerry] C'mon… what?
That's a nut job.
[audience chanting]
[John] Oh, man!
[Jerry] Why is he a genius?
[Jerry] Here's another [unintelligible] by Wyatt, and a kick out by Cena,
at two.
[John] Come on, come on.
[audience chatter]
-[Jerry] Ooh, And Cena… -[John] Go for the A! Nope.
Nice dropkick by Cena.
[boos]
A good dropkick.
He's gonna' have to do… He's gonna' have to incapacitate
Bray Wyatt to the point that
he can get back to the top of
that cage, and
I just said, JBL, he's gonna' have to try to come down
right into to the midst of those…
Well, Harper and Rowan.
[John] Yeah, I don't think there's much oxygen here.
You wanna' climb down to Harper
and Rowan?
[Jerry] Well, John's gonna' perhaps
try again and
may come down to him having to pin
or get Bray to submit.
[John] I think that's what he's gonna
end up having try to do.
That's the only way he can win.
[Jerry] Yeah, and if Cena does get up over the top,
remember, both feet have to hit the floor
to win this match.
[Jerry] Oh, my god.
[John] Bray Wyatt backing up towards
the door.
The ref has opened the door.
[Michael] they're opening the door like that?
[John] Bray Wyatt…
[John] …is trying to escape again. [Jerry] …is trying to escape again.
[John] And John Cena… [Jerry] …again has to play defense
[boos]
[Michael] Oh!
[Jerry] Oh, what a collision.
Is it enough to put Cena here? Cena just stays alive.
[John] Bray's like some
whacked out extortionist.
Every time I see that, I just…
I think you think extortionist, I think exorcist.
[Jerry] He he.
[Michael] Oh!
[John] Is it extortionist or contortionist?
[Jerry] Contortionist. Contortionist's a good thing.
It is.
Look at him.
[John] Syracuse education.
It's pretty wide, just…
[Jerry] So far, John Cena has been
thwarted from escaping
the steel cage.
I keep watching the expression on Bray Wyatt's face
And I'd like to… I think I would like to
know what he's thinking, but probably would not.
I mean, what could be going through that
warped mind of his?
[John] I think he's got what he wants.
[Jerry] Oh God!
Do not sit in the cage.
[John] And I think he's got the world
coming around to his message.
[Jerry] What's he gonna' do with
them when he's got them?
Only he knows that, right?
[John] Exactly.
[Michael] Ugh.
[John] This cage represents
the containment of the Bray Wyatt doctrine.
Bray Wyatt escapes it…
And that doctrine escaped
with him and grows like a virus.
[boos]
[Michael] Oh, Cena planning Wyatt.
[boos]
[Michael] Well, John Cena saying
"You can't see me, Bray Wyatt",
but he's gonna let you taste his five knuckle shovel
[John] Yes, he is.
John Cena has always had a
knack for winning big matches.
[Jerry] Oh, oh…
[Michael] Can he do it again?
[Jerry] Look at Bray Wyatt. He's… he's…
He used that momentum from John Cena
He's almost up the top of the
cage right now.
[Jerry] He upped the AA, but now John Cena…
[John] Wyatt trying to hang on to Cena, trying to hang onto the cage.
[Jerry] Oh, no, he may come down hard.
[Michael] Oh!
[Michael] What is Cena gonna' do?
He's gonna' go for the cover.
Hooks the leg, Wyatt at the count!
Kicked out at two.
[boos]
[Jerry] I know I wouldn't like to
know what's going through the
mind of Luke Harper.
[John] You think anything is going
through it?
[Michael] Again, the door is open. [John] The door is open.
[John] John Cena now crawling…
[Michael] John Cena's got to go…
Hey, wait.
John Cena had it won!
John Cena was gonna' escape the cage
and Erick Rowan slammed the
door shut.
[audience member] Go, Cena!
[audience chatter]
[Jerry] Cena trying to force it open.
[boos]
[unintelligible]
[John] He's got one foot out.
And Luke Harper, and Rowan,
trying to lock Cena back to the cage
Cena and Dispatch won before…
Rowan and now Harper, they've pinned him in.
[Jerry] Wow, Look at Cena.
Now Bray Wyatt from behind.
Cena gets the post in the door.
And now Bray Wyatt's gotta back inside!
-[John] Oh, man! -[Jerry] Wow!
[Jerry] Is this enough for Bray Wyatt
to put Cena away?
And Cena barely stays in it.
I think if Harper hadn't been there,
Cena wins this match.
[John] What's going through his mind?
Oh no!
[Jerry] John Cena rolls out of harm's way.
Now what does Cena do?
Now he's gonna' try to climb the cage again.
[Michael] Cena perhaps looking for escape again.
As Rowan makes his way around to
that side of the cage.
John Cena is up over the top, both feet up to hit the floor here.
John Cena will climb down to win this.
[Jerry] Wait, wait, look at this!
[John] Now Erick Rowan's got Cena up on his shoulders.
And Roman's forcing Cena back…
[Jerry] What the hell is he doing!
Cage!
Cena's not gonna'…
He'll never be able to
escape the cage.
[John] Erick Rowan tossing Cena back
into Cage.
That Bray Wyatt, oh…
…back up there on the
top rope with Cena.
So much for the steel cage making things…
Oh! Face first goes Bray Wyatt.
Cena's gotta put him away with
the pin fall.
Can he do it here?
Near fall for Cena.
[Jerry] That was like a bulldog
off the top rope.
[Jerry] And now its Harper
trying to run interference.
If you're Cena what do you do?
-[Jerry] Uh! -[Michael] Look at Harper.
[Jerry] It's Cena both straddling the top of the steel cage.
[Jerry] Hand.
[Jerry] Oh, oh, oh!
[John] Wait a minute, don't do that, John!
You don't want to pull him in the cage.
Now, Harker's in the cage.
[John] You're right, King,
that's the last thing you want to do.
[Michael] Now maybe he'll… maybe he'll…
…be able to escape.
[Jerry] Now, maybe Cena, with Harker in the cage,
has an opportunity to escape him!
[John] Yeah, there's one last guy outside.
Come on, John, this is your chance.
[Jerry] John Cena going up over the top,
meanwhile the door is open.
[Michael] Oh, no, the door is open.
[John] The door's open as well.
We got a race.
Cena going over the top.
[John] Bray Wyatt's trying to escape.
John Cena!
Cena's just gotta' get up there
and hit the floor!
[Jerry] Erick Rowan, look at Rowan!
That's how I should break your leg, John.
Cena trying everything
he can, but…
We may, we may be in for a
long night here.
Now Bray Wyatt… And, man!
[John] You mean Cena may be in
for a long night here.
[Jerry] He has already been in for a
long night.
Wyatt, to put Cena away.
Oh, wanna' bet,
John Cena's staying in the match.
Have you ever seen John Cena
just thrown like this?
Oh, man.
And then, Bray Wyatt landed right on
top of John, but unable to kick
out, oh, no.
[John] Going for the sister Abigail.
[Jerry] Sister Abigail's kiss.
[John] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Michael] John Cena dragging Bray.
Going for the STF.
There you go Bray Wyatt,
kiss this!
[John] STF!
Submission move!
[boos and cheers]
[John] Wyatt trying to drag himself
towards the door.
The door is open.
Bray Wyatt trying to
drag his body out.
And look at how he's using the rope.
Using the rope on Cena.
[Jerry] Well, Bray Wyatt's not gonna' be able to
get his feet on the floor.
John's got one of them
firmly in hand.
[Michael] Yeah, Bray Wyatt used the rope
to break the STF.
Door still open.
Wyatt trying to spill out on to
spill out onto the floor.
John Cena trying
to keep him in.
[Jerry] Hang on to him.
[female voices] No!
[John] Oh no, no, no, no wait!
[Jerry] We've got a tug-of-war!
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Now Rowan!
[Rowan] C'mon!
[Bray] Oh!
[Jerry] Cena pulling for dear life.
[Jerry] Cena wins that battle.
And we go!
[John] Luke Harper up the cage.
[audience chanting]
[John] Cena.
There are bodies everywhere.
[Jerry] This is brutal.
Bray Wyatt…
…looks like he's wanting to
try to escape the cage.
If he can get over that top,
there's nobody out there
to block his escape.
Oh, John's gonna'
have to catch him.
[audience cheers]
[Jerry] Oh, look at Cena.
Cena's got him on his shoulders.
From the second rope.
Bray's up high.
Bray's up near the top
of the cage.
[Michael] That's it!
That did it!
John's got to cover him here
Cena's got to cover Bray
and take advantage.
[boos]
[John] I think Cena found a way to
win another big one.
[Jerry] Cena trying to roll
into the cover.
Bray's out,
from the AA.
Cena… gonna win this here.
No, Luke Harper was in the cage.
[cheers and boos]
[Jerry] What in the…
Forget about that, look at the
strength of John Cena here.
Wow, man.
AA for the top rope!
That should have been enough
for the victory.
Harper hadn't been inside
the cage.
[John] Harper was brought in the cage
as Cena was trying' to escape.
I don't know what John's gonna do now.
[Jerry] Cena had no choice but to
drag Harper back in with him.
[Michael] Cena hurt his arm with that
with that clothesline.
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt's still down.
Luke Harper now,
one more chance for John to try
to climb this cage and escape.
[John] You still got Rowan out here
Look at him!
[Jerry] Now Rowan going
back up the cage to try to…
[Jerry] Rowan, his claws are like a
giant gorilla, look at this guy.
[Michael] And again John Cena not allowed
to escape because of a member of
the Wyatt family.
[Jerry] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Michael] Cena's got the beard!
Busting' Rowan's head off
the top of the steel cage!
[cheers]
Rowan's down.
Bray Wyatt's down.
[Jerry] So is Harper, Harper's down.
He's really down now.
This is your chance, John.
[John] Cena's chance to escape.
All three members of the Wyatt
family are down finally.
[Jerry] What should he do, should he climb?
Should he go for the door?
[Michael] Finally advantage Cena.
[John] He's gonna go through the door.
He's got it made.
[Michael] Finally advantage Cena.
[Jerry] Come on, just inches to go!
Keep crawling!
You've got it, John.
[John] Bray's not moving, Harper's
not moving, Rowan's not moving.
Cena's gonna crawl out of this
steel cage and win it.
[Jerry] Get your feet out.
[John] Cena has found a way to win
another big match.
[Jerry] Yes, you've got it, John.
Finally liberation for Cena.
[John] He's conquered the…

[audience cheers]
[bell ringing]
[music]
[female announcer] Here is your winner,
Bray Wyatt!
[audience cheers]
[music]
[audience chatter]
Guys, John Cena's worst fear
imagined here tonight, and,
I mean, "The Bray Wyatt's Message" is
permeated everywhere.
More children of the corn,
or whatever they are.
You see people singing
the song here.
You see them following The
Message.
The Message is spreading, and I
don't think you can stop it.
Now ladies and gentlemen, before each
pay-per-view we have our
kick-off show.
Tonight Extreme Rules kick off show hosted
by our own Josh Matthews. Hi, Josh.
Thank you guys very much.
Certainly an eerie feeling taken over at Extreme Rules.
Allow me to introduce the all-star panel of experts:
Six time World Champion, WWE Hall of Famer,
Booker T.
Great to be here in fight country,
New Jersey, but I never expected
to see something like that.
Eerie to say the least.
[Josh] WWE superstar and analyst, Alex Riley.
Hi, guys. I almost have no words for what
I'm feeling right now.
Goose bumps, shock, utter all.
What a night here in New Jersey, fantastic.
[Josh] Our guest is a three-time
World Champion, The Celtic Warrior,
Sheamus.
Josh, I'm… You know, I should say
I'm stunned but after seeing what
Wyatt, Bray Wyatt's doing over
the last couple of months,
I'm not shocked. He got
into John Cena's head
once again tonight, and he's
walking away the winner.
If we could switch gears,
what else has stood out to you three
gentlemen throughout the night?
It's got to be The Shield, Evolution.
I mean, you wanted a war, you got a war.
I said they couldn't do it,
they proved me wrong, they did it.
MVP has got to go to Seth Rollins,
for that dive that happened right there,
right in front of us on
to Randy Orton and Triple H
equalizing the whole thing,
congratulations to The Shield.
[Booker T] I definitely gotta' follow that right there,
The Shield were awesome.
Going out there, doing everything.
I said they was gonna' go out there and pull it off,
but the Superman, you know I mean, Cesaro, were not there
and pulled off a great, victory tonight,
gotta give it to them.
For me obviously watching the
Intercontinental Championship
between Bad News Barrett
and Big E Langston was important for me.
Obviously I was in that tournament
and I'm a big fan of tournaments
and Wade Barrett's proved
why he's on the up here
in the WWE.
And if you're watching
Extreme Rules on the WWE Network,
don't go anywhere immediately following
Extreme Rules is the Extreme Rules Fallout.
We'll have reactions from all these superstars and Divas.
competing here tonight at
Extreme Rules.
Including the superstars
in the very first match tonight,
it was WeeLC.
[Michael] And as we are ringside for this…
[Michael] It was Hornswoggle. [Jerry] This is one of the most fun,
[Jerry] most entertaining matches,
I believe, I've ever witnessed.
[Michael] Yeah, versus El Torito.
And watch some of this action.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[laughter]
And we had micro Cole, Jerry Smaller and JB-Elf Elf
calling the action at ringside,
And Torito and Hornswoggle
flying all over the place.
[John] These guys were everywhere. It was so entertaining.
It was so much fun.
The crowd was yelling,
"This is awesome",
Them's got the bull by the tails.
and the announcer called him Hornwaddle.
That didn't go well for Jinder Mahal.
But look at this ladder.
It was a TLC and Hornwaddle
a little scared of heights.
[Michael] Torito wanted him to jump, and this is why,
-[laughter] -off the stepladder.
-[laughter] -[John] Oh, man! This was great.
But watch this,
this is how it all wound up
El Torito on to Hornwaddle
through the table, and that was it.
[Michael] Again, I was hoping, King, that we can replace John with JB-Elf.
here tonight at Extreme Rules.
He had a nice head of hair like yours
Micro Cole wasn't bad either, though, you know.
Well ladies and gentlemen, coming up next here…
He had that stupid soul patch like you.
[Michael] At Extreme Rules it is for
the Divas Championship.
The 21-year-old upstart,
The brand new Champion Paige,
to take on the woman who won a
Battle Royal a couple weeks ago
on main event to become Number One Contender.
Paige and Tamina
for the Divas title.
[music]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following Divas Contest
is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the Divas Championship!
[music]
Introducing the challenger
from the Pacific Islands, Tamina Snuka.
[Michael] As I mentioned, guys, Tamina won a Battle Royal
to get here tonight.
Very physical presence,
son of the Hall of Famer,
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
[music]
[female announcer] And her opponent, from Norwich, England,
she is the Divas' Champion
Paige.
[Michael] Paige is the Divas Champion
and her dream came true
the night after Wrestlemania.
Remember, Paige came down to the ring to congratulate…
[Jerry] Oh give me a break.
[Michael] Then Divas Champion, A.J. Lee.
A.J.'s mouth got her in trouble.
Challenged Paige to a Divas Championship match
and Paige shocked the world.
[music]
She is the youngest Diva…
…to ever win the Divas Championship at 21
[music]
She's been described as gritty,
and fiery and passionate.
[John] She might be the youngest Diva Champion
to ever lose the Championship.
Tonight against Tamina.
She's gritty, powerful, passionate and pale.
[music]
[Michael] I tell you, John, the Divas
were saying she was a flash in the pan.
That she wouldn't be Divas Champion for long.
But, she held that title for a month now.
And she's taken on all comers
here at WWE,
but not one as powerful as Tamina.
[bell ringing]
So here we go, Paige.
[John] Look, Tamina's not an all comer.
You can't put her in the same
mold that you put all these others in.
This is Tamina we're talking about.
Hall of Fame, Jimmy Snuka's daughter.
I saw the Hall of Famer backstage here for this,
watching his daughter
hopefully win the Divas Championship
[Michael] There is the fiery passion of Paige.
She's not going to back down for Tamina
We had a candid interview with Paige
a couple of weeks ago at WWE.com,
she talked about the surprise of winning
the title that night.
She said, "I understand that I can't take it for granted.
I gotta' work hard every day",
and that's what she plans to do here tonight.
A nice move by Paige.
Tamina kicks out.
[Jerry] Paige pretty smart here.
She knows she needs to avoid
the strength and power of Tamina.
She's doing it exceptionally well.
[Michael] On that point, King, she told me earlier today she's got to keep
the pace fast against Tamina.
[Jerry] She's doing that well, too.
This could be a big night for
our friends over there in England
Bad News Barrett
is already Intercontinental Champion.
[John] Is Paige from Norwich?
[Jerry] Wow, look at this. Doing a great job
neutralizing the power of Tamina thus far.
[Jerry] Just Get up there and stay on your feet there Paige.
She knows what she's doing better than me.
Kinda like Nookie versus Ali.
[Michael] Oh, Man!
[referee counting]
[Jerry] Those knees right into the face of…
[John] Look, she's very effective.
She's very good. But she is different.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Oh, oh.
[Michael] She may be out.
Remember, Tamina's got to get Paige back
in the ring to win the Divas Championship
only by or a submission here tonight.
[referee] Hey, lady, bring her back inside!
[Michael] Tamina's been having a twitter war
all week long.
[audience yelling]
Tamina says, "You'll get the lesson in respect tonight.
[referee counting]
Lesson number one.
[audience] Ooh!
[Jerry] Tamina's done what you said.
In order to win this thing
she's got Paige back in the ring.
[Jerry] There's the cover.
[Michael] Cover by Tamina for the Divas Championship!
And a kick out at two.
What? What'd you say?
[referee] The shoulder…
Huh? Huh?
[audience cheers]
[Michael] The arm with the referee. He better stay focused on Paige.
Watch the hair!
[Michael] With the upper hand, you need to keep it.
[audience yelling]
Paige, you want me to stop this?
Where you at, huh?
[audience yelling]
[Michael] Tamina has slowed the pace.
Tamina punished Paige.
[Jerry] That's Tamina's pace. Here we go.
[Michael] The cover again and the kick out.
[boos]
Watch the hair! Watch the hair!
[Michael] Paige has been so impressive but… as you mentioned, John,
she hasn't faced a competitor quite like Tamina.
[audience yelling]
Where you at?
[Jerry] Tamina could be in the APA.
[Michael] She'd be here the enforcer.
[John] She would be. This is one tough person.
[Jerry] And again for the Divas Championship
[referee counting]
[John] Right now this is about wearing Paige down.
punishing her,
see how much Paige can take.
Watch the hair!
[Jerry] A lot of times, John, this Championship is about surviving.
Being able to survive.
[John] Wow!
[Michael] It's like she's made Paige mad here.
[referee] You're doing great. Let's go inside!
[Michael] She'll try to go on the offensive.
[Michael] Paige did say
"Don't under estimate the newbie".
[referee] Hey, c'mon, get inside, ladies!
She's gritty.
[Michael] Look at Tamina. Oh, wow!
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] Good night, nurse. That's it.
[Jerry] That may have cost Paige
the Divas title.
[John] That's the difference between
Tamina and all the other Divas.
[Michael] You better wait and get Paige
back in the ring with ya.
[Jerry] She belongs across the river at Yankees stadium.
[Michael] Watch this. Oh!
[Jerry] Wow.
[boos]
[John] Now Tamina could win this thing.
And she knows it, too.
[Michael] Don't waste time.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[cheers and boos]
Tamina feeling pretty
confident right now.
Oh, no.
[Tamina yelling]
[referee] C'mon, here we go.
[Jerry] Paige already stunned after…
Here with the barricade. Oh, oh!
Look at Tamina trying to hang on.
Paige… Paige planted it!
Great counter by the Champion.
[referee counting]
For the victory.
-[Jerry] Kick-out! -[John] Oh, man!
[Jerry] Recount?
[boos]
[Michael] Near fall.
Paige thought it was three.
[Jerry] It was three.
She just kicked out before it.
[screaming]
[audience cheers]
[Michael] Ugh, man!
[Jerry] Paige again looking to retain
the Championship. Shoulders are down.
Tamina powering out.
[Michael] Paige trying to figure out what she's got to do
to put Tamina away.
[Jerry] That may be easier said than done.
The referee has a very weird
cadence to his count.
[Jerry] Oh, oh, they just caught.
Oh!
Driven down.
One!
I can see the cadence now, the referee is counting.
Hooks the leg, shoulders down…
And a kick out at two!
[Michael] Nothing' weird about that?
[Jerry] Yeah.
[John] Wasn't long, Tamina.
I think that's what threw Tamina off.
The referee in there just sitting around watching the action
With a crazy count.
[Jerry] Oh, oh, a crazy look in the eyes of Tamina right now.
[John] Don't wait for the super-chowder!
And she caught her.
Paige caught her!
[audience cheers]
Paige looking for the submission maneuver here.
She's gotta turn and…
[Michael] Can she lock it in?
[Jerry] Look at this!
[Michael] Yes, she does!
[Jerry] She's gotta…
[bell ringing]
[Michael] She gets Tamina to tap out.
[music]
[female announcer] Here is your winner
by submission and still
the Divas Champion,
Paige!
[Jerry] This young lady gets more and more impressive
every single week!
[Michael] Tenacity!
[music]
[Jerry] That's early on.
And it looks like it's all Tamina.
Watch this move.
Oh!
I honestly thought that was it
for Paige.
But Paige fought on, as you said, tenacity.
[John] Even after this, great resilience
by the current Divas Champion.
[music]
Watch this. Look at the strength of Paige.
[Jerry] Bona-fide Scorpion Cross Lock.
[bell ringing]
Tamina's got to tap out.
[John] I think we're learning
that Paige isn't a flash in the pan.
[music]
Better get used to that.
[music]
[John] Congratulations.
Great match. Good job, Paige!
[Michael] Paige said she wants to
redefine the definition of Diva.
She's'still the Divas Champion.
[music]
[man 1] You did very well tonight, little Johnny.
[man 2] We're free now.
My message can no longer be ignored.
John Cena, his entire life,
everything he's ever stood for
is trapped on a tiny
little box.
He stands alone now with the vanquished,
those lonely souls
who have nowhere left to go,
and will soon join us.
And ultimately do what,
little Johnny?
Fight.
The message.
[cheers and boos]
Man…
This gets creepier and creepier.
The virus is spreading.
So much for containing the message.
Johnny?
I don't get it. What do you do?
This is what John Cena
was afraid of.
That the virus, The Message was gonna' get out here tonight.
Well, you better get used to it,
cause' you're gonna' start
seeing it all over the world.
[Michael] Folks, a big thanks to Kongos, for "Come with me now",
the official Extreme Rules theme.
It's on the album "Lunatic", available on iTunes.
Well, coming up next,
"The Demon Kane" plans to annihilate
"The Movement of the Masses".
It's Kane versus Daniel Bryan,
in an Extreme Rules match
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Kane looking to end Daniel Bryan's dream
that began at Wrestlemania.
[music]
[Jerry] You got to be kidding me!
[Daniel] Because of you guys I beat
The Authority and right now I stand
here as the new WWE World
Heavyweight Champion!
[cheers and chanting]
[Michael] Daniel Bryan realizing his dream
at Wrestlemania.
Bryan's dream would continue
when he would marry
that gorgeous woman in the ring,
Brie Bella, now the wife
of Daniel Bryan.
[ominuous music]
I just… I couldn't resist the moment
to come out here and congratulate the two of you.
I mean truly, sincerely and genuinely
from the bottom of my heart.
And because WWE is a family,
we wanted to get you a wedding present.
At Extreme Rules you will be defending
the WWE Heavyweight Championship
against the Devil's
favorite demon,
Kane.
[evil laugh]
[Kane] I am the monster that you
will never wake up from.
[laughing]
[Stephanie] Kane!
Not now, Kane!
[screaming]
[Michael] Kane coming from out of nowhere
[Stephanie] Let him go!
[Michael] And Brian trying to fight back
against "The Demon".
[Stephanie] Run, Brie, run!
No!
Kane, that's enough!
[Stephanie] I said that's enough!
Kane, stop it!
Kane!
You bastard!
I just want to say to the both of you…
on behalf of my entire family,
I'm sorry.
I am the Devil's favorite demon.
[ominous music]
[Kane] There is nothing that I won't do.
[ominous music]
[Jerry] Kane's got Brie!
[Michael] Oh my God! Kane's gonna' pull her out of that hole!
[ominous music]
[Kane] I am going to eviscerate
Daniel Bryan and send him
to the depths
of Hell.
[Daniel] At Extreme Rules, the Devil's favorite demon
is going home,
even if I have to go with him
[ominous music]
[Daniel] I am sending him straight to Hell.
[Michael] This is more than a match!
This is a war!
[explosion]
[Kane] Daniel, Daniel, Daniel…
[ominous music]
You think me putting my hands
on Brie was bad?
I've only just begun to show you
the depths of my depravity.
[ominous music]
[evil laughing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
the following contest
set for one fall
is an Extreme Rules match
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
["Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner playing]
[cheers and applause]
[announcer] From Aberdeen, Washington,
weighing at 210 pounds is the current
WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
Daniel Bryan!
[cheers and applause]
[Michael] Defending the championship
in a match where anything goes.
It's Extreme Rules!
[audience chanting]
[John] Well, Daniel Bryan may be acting
like he's not hurt,
but let me tell you, that young man
right there is beat to Hell.
[Michael] And you gotta wonder
if Daniel Bryan will be WWE World Champion
when we come your way
on pay-per-view and live on the WWE Network
a month from tonight
in Chicago, Illinois, for pay back.
[music]
[Michael] And Daniel Bryan suffering
a choke-slam this past Monday,
three tube-stone pile-drivers a few weeks ago.
[explosion]
Oh my!
[ominous music]
[announcer] And the challenger, weighing 323 pounds,
Kane!
[Jerry] There he goes.
[Jerry] And Daniel Bryan wasting little time
going after Kane
[bell ringing]
[Michael] Daniel Bryan going after Kane.
after what Kane did to Brie
and what Kane's done to Daniel Bryan
over the past couple of weeks.
[Jerry] It's Extreme Rules.
They started the match in the alleyway.
[John] You're right about that!
And If Daniel Bryan's hurt, JBL,
it's not showing now.
[audience cheers]
[Michael] That man slowed him down.
[Jerry] Daniel Bryan wants to get the upper hand,
I guarantee you he's hurt.
Had that neck brace on this past week
when Kane choke-slammed him
[audience chanting]
[Michael] WWE fans, nearly 16,000 here
in New Jersey trying to will
Daniel Bryan on.
But "The Demon Kane" has other things
in mind.
[Jerry] There is absolutely no telling
what's underneath that ring tonight.
It is Extreme Rules alright.
[Michael] And there's no telling what Kane
is capable of in a match like this,
where that is all legal.
[audience] Hey, Kane, you suck!
[Michael] The last thing Kane needs is a green light.
[Jerry] Yeah, you gotta' figure that poor Daniel Bryan
is in store for a severe beating
here tonight.
[Michael] Remember, earlier tonight, guys, Stephanie McMahon
gave Daniel Bryan the option:
surrender the title and not have to
go through this punishment tonight,
but Daniel Bryan said,
"Get out of my face"!
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Daniel Bryan's got the heart of a lion, no doubt about that.
But will that get him through this match?
-[John] The head of a goat. -[Michael] Wow!
Kane went over the top on the back
of his head
and right back to his his feet.
[Michael] Stumbling a bit, though.
[Daniel Bryan yelling]
[John] He picked running knee right in the mouth
of Kane.
[Jerry] Here we go!
Both men up over the top.
And this is not gonna' be pretty.
Big boot from "The Demon" Kane.
[John] I don't like it at all.
I'll just clarify that.
I don't like it at all when Kane gets
this close to us.
[Michael] We have seen the mood that
this man's been in.
[Jerry] Ever since Stephanie McMahon
unleashed the demon.
Took him out of his suit and tie
and gave him his mask back.
[Michael] You got to be kidding me!
[audience] Ooh!
[Jerry] Did you see the top of that chair,
driven right into the kidneys of Bryan.
Watch this. I gotta' look at that again.
[Michael] Oh!
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] Oh, look out.
[boos]
[John] This is not good for Daniel Bryan.
[Jerry] I'm sure you don't want to be
in an Extreme Rules match
with The Demon Kane.
[Michael] Bryan lying in wait with the Kendo stick!
[Jerry] He can grab everything within
arm's reach and use it on
this "Demon".
[Michael] Kane is… Bryan came off the top rope and caught him
right on the throat.
[Jerry] The steel chair.
I think of many worst scenarios.
Oh, man!
[Michael] No, no, no, right through the chair!
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] For the championship to take up
Bryan and the yes movement.
[Jerry] These guys used to be tag team champions together.
[Michael] Watch this. Ooh!
It's all come down to this tonight.
[Jerry] Going for a choke-slam,
Daniel Bryan lands on his feet
[Michael] Nice drop toe hold off the chair!
Head first off the chair goes Kane.
About right now, Kane may be regretting the fact that
he placed that steel chair there.
[Jerry] He gave Daniel Bryan
the opening he needs here.
Missile drop kick, top rope,
Kane's down.
Rolls out of the ring.
[Jerry] How about Flying Bryan!
[cheers and applause]
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Watch out!
[Michael] Daniel Bryan, looking to…
[John] Oh, wow.
[Jerry] And here comes Daniel Bryan now.
Ripping apart the Spanish Announce tables.
[speaking Spanish]
[Jerry] Now Bryan's come to rip apart our table here.
[Michael] Watch out!
[Jerry] Look out!
[Michael] Bryan using everything at his disposal
Now, a right hand from "The Demon" Kane.
Now Kane bounced off the Spanish table.
[audience chanting in Spanish]
Oh man, did you hear that!
-[Jerry] Rodriguez? -[Michael] Yes.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Oh, my God, guys, look at Kane!
Look at Kane!
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Kane's gonna' try to choke-slam
Daniel Bryan on our table.
[Jerry] Now Bryan fighting back.
Oh, he caught him with a knee.
[Jerry] A plane in Kane!
Great move by Bryan!
[applause]
[John] A tornado DDT off the announce table.
[Michael] He may have saved himself
and our table at the same time, thank goodness.
[Jerry] Yeah.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] And now Daniel Bryan right out
in front of us, kick after kick
to midsection. King, I was only…
-[John] Watch out! -[Jerry] …by riding the steps!
[John] Guys, all the punishment that…
…Kane took, and he was still able
to counter and just flank Bryan
into those steps.
Just draggin' those…
-[Jerry] We've seen this before. -[John] …those steps.
[Jerry] This is gonna be the end of
Daniel Bryan
and perhaps the "Yes!" Movement also.
[John] Kane looking for the
Tombstone pile-driver.
[Jerry] Kane on the steps. We're about to see
a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
[John] Wait, wait, Daniel Bryan…
[Michael] Daniel Bryan… Kane hit the post!
[Jerry] Daniel Bryan saving his title.
And himself.
[audience member] Give me your fake hair.
[audience member] You're terrible!
[Michael] Daniel Bryan looking for…
…something else to waylay…
…Kane with. Another Kendo stick!
[Jerry] Oh, right in the ribs.
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] The arm. The shoulder.
[audience] Yes! Yes Yes! Yes! Yes!
[audience] Ooh!
[Michael] Oh!
[Michael] After all the shots Kane took,
and with the right hand force, Bryan.
[Jerry] Watch out, watch out here!
Oh!
[audience] Ooh!
[John] …that light grid.
[Michael] Bryan hit that with such force,
he knocked all the lights out.
[John] Where're you going?
Get a camera back there.
[boos]
[Daniel] Oh!
[Jerry] Oh, good grief.
[referee] Get it back in the ring!
C'mon, Kane, no!
[screams]
Kane, no, no!
[Michael] Kane, wait a minute, whoa!
[referee] Kane, you gotta' get it back in the ring!
[John] Well, there's nothing referee
Mike Chioda, can do.
He can yell at them all he wants
to get back in the ring.
They don't have to.
[Michael] It's Extreme Rules.
Watch… you hear that popping sound?
There's some electricity going.
Did he throw a plugged in
television set in that water?
[John] In that ice water.
[Jerry] He's throwing it at Daniel
who moved, fortunately, out of the way
[referee] C'mon, get it back in the ring!
[referee] C'mon, Kane!
[John] They're in the parking lot.
[Michael] Bryan bounced right off our…
…television truck out there.
[John] Oh!
[Jerry] A snow shovel?
[Michael] A snow shovel? Oh!
Now it's Kane!
Come on, Daniel, back in the ring!
[John] Oh, come on.
[audience counting]
[John] Look out!
[Jerry] Flying!
Oh, man.
C'mon, Kane, you better control!
[Michael] You better get some help.
No, don't do it, Kane! No, don't do it!
[Jerry] Oh, my God! [Michael] Oh, good. A miss.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Jerry] Kane could have broke his hand.
[John] Instead he broke the whole car.
-[Michael] Oh, my God! -[Jerry] Wow!
[Jerry] That's it!
[John] Kane's out.
Kane's unconscious.
[Michael] He can't drag his limp body, Can he?
[Michael] Yeah, what's Brian gonna'…?
[John] You can't beat him back there.
[Jerry] He hit Kane with that tire iron.
That's it.
[John] You can't beat him there.
[Jerry] Oh, my. Oh!
Oh, man oh man.
[Jerry] Oh my gosh. Oh, my God. Look at this!
What the hell's he gonna' do?

Run him into that car!
[Michael] Where is he going?
[Jerry] Look out, everybody. Look out!
[audience yelling]
[Jerry] He's bringing him out here.
[John] He is!

to the ring to beat him.
I've never seen anything like this.
[Jerry] This is brilliant!
[Michael] Now what?
[John] What he's gonna' do with Kane?
[Jerry] How does he know how to drive a forklift?
[Michael] I don't know, but…

[Michael] Well, he's not gonna' give up, that's for sure.
[Jerry] Daniel Bryan said he's gonna walk out as champion.

be able to walk out.

Trying to hang on to Daniel Bryan with the s-lock in.
