[upbeat music plays]
[female voice] Rules are made to be followed.
Rules are what keeps society in order.
And order is good.
Obey, don't question.
Don't resist.
Follow the rules,
and everything will be okay.
[male voice] Tonight, the rules are changing
because tonight we're going extreme.
[Rusev] Everything you stand for
will be crushed.
[music]
[John Cena] I am proud of the United States Championship.
[Lana] Your match will be a Russian Chain match.
[Rusev] You embarrass your stupid country!
[John Cena] It's not about the rules.
It's about the revenge.
[Roman Reigns] You're potential that never will be.
I'm gonna take that giant trophy,
and I'm gonna shove it down your throat.
And you can believe that!
I enjoy keeping you down.
My pleasure is gonna be in making you
the most epic failure
in a Last Man Standing match.
[Seth Rollins] I play this game of human chess
better than anybody.
What if The Authority couldn't help you?
What if it was just you and me
inside the steel cage
for the championship?
[Seth Rollins] My stipulation:
The RKO is banned.
And, Randy, The Authority always…
[female voice] Wins.
[rock music plays]
[male announcer] And now WWE Network presents
Extreme Rules.
[fireworks exploding]
[audience cheering]
[rock music plays]
[Michael] It is the one night of the year
WWE goes extreme.
You are looking live at the sold-out Allstate Arena in Chicago.
14,197 WWE fans are here
for WWE Extreme Rules!
[bell rings]
The following is a Chicago Street Fight!
[audience cheering]
In this match, there are no count-outs and no disqualifications.
The only way to win
is by pinfall or submission.
[audience cheering]
[Eden] Introducing first, from Cincinnati, Ohio,
weighing in at 225 pounds,
Dean Ambrose!
[Michael] A Chicago Street Fight should be right up the alley of this man,
the lunatic fringe Dean Ambrose
as we kickoff Extreme Rules.
Hello, everybody, from ringside, I'm Michael Cole
and I'm joined to my right by the legendary JBL,
on my left, by the hall of famer Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Are you guys ready for Extreme Rules?
You better believe it.
Chicago, what better city to get extreme in?
Dean Ambrose's opponent tonight, Luke Harper,
tells Dean, "I want you to fear me." Here's one of the reasons why.
Take you back to Wrestlemania last month at Levi's stadium
in the San Francisco bay area.
Intercontinental championship match, a ladder match.
Llook what Harper does to Ambrose.
[Jerry] Unbelievable. He tried to destroy that ladder,
which he did, and he tried to destroy Dean Ambrose, which he almost did.
[Michael] A little bit later that week on Thursday night Smack Down,
Harper would put Dean Ambrose through the announce table
right here at ringside. And ever since then,
Ambrose has been dying to get his hands on Harper.
[rock music plays]
[Jerry] Ambrose won't have to wait much longer.
[Eden] His opponent,
making his way to the ring at 275 pounds,
Luke Harper!
[Jerry] Oh, look into the eyes of Luke Harper
and you see the back of his head.
This guy is really out there.
[Michael] Yeah, as strange as they come.
In fact, both of the men in this match-up
could probably do well being in straitjackets.
[laughing]
[John] Ambrose better turn into Rick Grimes
if he wants to find a way to win this one.
[Michael] And here we go.
Ambrose not waiting for Harper to get into the ring.
Ambrose and Harper battling it out.
[Jerry] Don't worry about the ring. This is a street fight.
This thing may go anywhere!
[Michael] Right in the mouth.
Now sending Harper back into the ring
to actually get this match-up officially started.
Ambrose… as Harper misses wildly.
Now the match is officially underway.
Remember,
Chicago Street Fight rules, no count-outs…
Flying lunatic.
No disqualifications. You have to win via pinfall or submission,
and that has to take place inside the ring.
[John] That derelict right there, Dean Ambrose,
never lived by any of society's rules
neither had to live by any rules.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Wait. Ambrose? What about Harper?
You think Harper's lived by societal rules?
[John] Well, he lives in a swamp. He doesn't live in society.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] And Ambrose wasted little time bringing out some toys.
Here are the steel chairs.
[John] Anything you might find on the streets or alleys of Chicago.
[Michael] Uh-oh, kendo stick.
[audience cheering]
[John] If I was in one of these fights,
I'd search the bottom of the ring before the night started
and take out the kendo sticks.
[Jerry] Well, you've been in street fights before, John.
[John] I've been in a Chicago Street Fight here with The Road Warriors.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[John] Oh… Oh!
[Jerry] How did you prepare for that?
[Michael] I…
Oh!
Good grief.
There's no way to prepare for something like this.
Uh-oh.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Kendo stick onslaught.
[John] The only way you can prepare is just get run over by a car a lot.
And get punched a lot.
[Jerry] That could happen on the streets of Chicago.
I've been here three days at the C2E2, and the traffic is horrible.
-[John] It's not that good, King. -[Michael] What is Ambrose doing?
[John] He doesn't know either.
[Michael] He's having fun.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] And listen to this sell-out crowd.
Ambrose. He sets up the chair, looking for the suplex on Harper.
[John] Oh, no.
[Michael] And Ambrose goes through the chair.
[John] Be careful what you bring out.
It could be used against you, and it just was.
[Michael] And Harper looking to end this thing early.
And kick-out at two by Ambrose.
[John] The resale value of that chair is nil.
[Jerry] Watch this. Oh!
Watch the chair buckle here.
Oh, man, buckled right in half.
[John] Look at Ambrose buckle.
[Michael] And now it's Luke Harper,
kendo stick.
[Jerry] You were right, JBL.
Be careful what you bring out.
[John] Harper and Ambrose using the kendo sticks
like the Cubbies and White Sox here tonight.
[John] That'll change the curse of Billy Sianis' goat.
[Michael] Whose goat?
Is that the whole reason the Cubs haven't won the World Series?
[Jerry] The goat.
[John] Yeah, it's the curse of the goat.
It's why Daniel Bryan's not here.
[Michael] And look at Harper unloading on Ambrose.
[Jerry] Watch it, watch it. I would not do that.
Oh, there's no disqualification in this match-up.
[John] No, you do whatever you want. Chicago Street Fight.
No disqualification, no count-out.
[Jerry] This is not gonna end well for somebody.
[laughs]
[Michael] It looks like Harper's setting the table, isn't he?
[John] Yeah, it's almost like--
-[Jerry] Oh! -[John] He's smart enough to have a plan.
Not.
[Jerry] Oh, boy!
[Michael] I think Harper does everything on instinct.
Uh-oh. Look at the…
Oh, head first into the chair.
-[Jerry] That planned worked. -[Michael] And Ambrose may be out cold.
Harper for the win.
Near-fall. Ambrose barely got his shoulder up.
[John] Let me introduce your face to this chair.
[audience cheering]
[John] Ouch.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] For those keeping score at home,
the one in the dirty t-shirt and jeans, that's Dean Ambrose.
[John] Dirty t-shirt? That's one of his best.
[Michael] Harper hasn't changed his shirt in two years.
[John] That's his cleanest dirty shirt he's got.
Watch out.
[Michael] And a kendo stick again.
Oh, man.
I said it before, when we kicked off this match.
Harper's goal is to make Dean Ambrose fear him.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] I think all you have to do to fear Harper
is just get put in a match against him.
-[John] Well, look at him. -[Jerry] Yeah, right.
[John] You have to have a brain to fear somebody.
I'm not sure Ambrose has one.
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[Michael] That was smart.
[John] No, it's instinctive.
[Michael] Oh, man.
[Jerry] Well, Harper's face was ugly. Did you see his teeth?
[John] How do you see his teeth under all that hair?
[Jerry] Those are "summer teeth". Oh!
[Michael] Ambrose sidestepping Harper.
[Jerry] Watch out.
Oh, man.
[John] He can't afford to lose anymore teeth.
[Michael] Ambrose, tornado DDT!
[Jerry] It worked that time!
[John] That could have broken Harper's… Harper's nose.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Watch this DDT from way up there.
[Michael] Landed,
Harper back to his feet as is Ambrose.
And now we have Ambrose unloading on Luke Harper.
[Jerry] Punch, chop, punch, chop, punch.
[Michael] The chaotic Ambrose.
[Jerry] Oh! End it with a kick.
Wait a minute.
Oh!
[Michael] Down goes Harper.
And now Ambrose…
gonna go up to the top rope.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Oh! Down goes Harper with the elbow.
[Michael] Cover for the win for Ambrose,
and a near-fall, kick-out at two.
[John] That elbow drop on a standing person.
[Jerry] It's innovative.
[John laughs] It is innovative.
Hey, and it's effective too.
[Jerry] Oh, man. Did you hear that?
Caught Ambrose right on the jaw.
Oh, and now a knee.
[John] Oh, looks like you read your book, Dean.
[Michael] Ambrose was going for dirty deeds,
and then he was going for the clothesline off the ropes,
and Harper countered both.
[Jerry] Oh, that powerbomb, which was countered by Dean Ambrose.
And now Harper to the outside.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry laughs] Guys, what's he gonna do? He doesn't care, does he?
-[John] No. -[Michael] Oh, no.
-[Jerry] What in the world? -[Michael] What the hell?
[Jerry] Bam!
Oh, man.
[John] What was that?
[Jerry] A hell of a clothesline is what that was.
[John] That was what he didn't get to do earlier.
[Jerry] That was awesome. I love it.
Batter up.
[Michael] And now the two men have left the ring,
and they're battling up the aisle way here.
[John] Maybe the Cubs would win the World Series
if Dean batted cleanup for them.
[Michael] And now Ambrose and Harper…
[John] Wait a minute. Wait, well…
[Michael] They're heading back toward the locker room area.
[Jerry] That's where all the superstars and divas
enter the arena.
[both grunting and moaning]
[Michael] You said anything goes.
[screams]
[Michael] The part we left out was "anywhere". Oh!
Anything goes anywhere.
[Jerry] Watch out, watch out, watch out!
[pants and grunts]
[Jerry] Well, this is a street fight. This thing may spill out into the street.
Look out!
[John] May be down to the Field Museum or Zoo.
Oh, man.
[Michael] I think they're back in the… that's like the back…
[John] That's the back area.
[Michael] Yeah, the backstage production area
here at the Allstate Arena.
[Jerry] Watch it, watch it. What's he gonna--
-[John] Oh, my goodness. -[Michael] Oh, no!
What the hell did he just hit him with?
Oh!
-[Jerry] What? -[John] Wait a minute.
[Jerry] Guys, what is happening now?
[Michael] Harper's just trying to get away from Ambrose.
[Jerry] He's hijacking somebody's car.
[John] Oh, look out.
[Michael] Oh, my God, what the--
[tires squealing]
[Michael] Oh, my God, wait a minute.
Who the hell…
Where did…
Harper and Am…
[audience cheering and booing]
Now what?
We know this building well, guys.
And that's that ramp that drives you out into the street here in Rosemont.
Well, it's obvious they're not staying here.
We're gonna get a helicopter to follow them?
Yeah.
This is not Los Angeles, this is Chicago.
Wait, again, it's a Chicago Street Fight, guys,
and there are no count-outs. Keep that in mind as the…
[Jerry] Watch as… look as Dean Ambrose dives into the car.
[tires squealing]
[Jerry] And Luke Harper hits the gas.
So I'm thinking here, if we got these rules straight, right?
I'm thinking that the match…
is it going on?
It can only end in the ring, I think. It's probably going on inside of Chicago?
How do you know if it's gonna end? The referee is running behind them,
the cameraman is still in the building.
How the hell are we gonna know if it ends?
I mean, it's no count-out, no disqualification.
-I don't know. -It will be like Curtis Axel.
Maybe they'll be in a fight for the next three months.
[laughs]
Well, again, ladies and gentlemen,
we're gonna reset now, here at WWE Extreme Rules.
Somebody find where Harper and Ambrose are.
[audience cheering and booing]
Kane, Kane.
-You wanted to see me? -Yeah.
Listen, I need you to go and find Harper and Ambrose,
track down where they went.
I don't know, those two crazy guys…
What are they gonna do in the streets of Chicago, right?
Find them.
Listen, hold on a second now.
The two of you need to get on the same page.
All right?
Listen to me.
This is Seth's first defense
of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on pay-per-view.
And it is against Randy Orton inside of a steel cage.
I cannot afford for anything to go wrong here.
So I want you to stop being childish, both of you,
and start being professional.
You know,
I couldn't agree more.
But I'm a little confused.
You see, if we're supposed to be on the same team,
then why did Kane throw me directly into Roman Reigns' spear
this Thursday on Smack Down,
jeopardizing my safety?
I was protecting you, Seth.
-It's not my fault that you can't… -Oh, yeah, it's never your fault.
It's never your fault, is it, huh?
I get trapped in a cage with Randy Orton and I get RKO'd.
You throw me into a spear on Thursday.
When are you gonna start taking some responsibility, huh?
You've been acting like nothing more
than an ungrateful little punk
ever since you got that title.
All right, guys, calm down.
Hey, calm down.
Now, Kane,
Seth has a point.
Guys,
I mean, there's a point to it.
I mean, let's be fair here.
And you've spent a lot of time lately trying to prove to the world
you're the man you used to be.
And I'm just saying
that I want to make sure that, you know,
some things have fallen between the cracks.
And, tonight,
I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
I don't want to regret
making you the gatekeeper.
[audience chanting]
I understand the importance of my role,
and I appreciate the faith that you've shown in me.
I will not let you down.
I assure you,
both of you,
tonight I will do
what's best for business.
[audience cheering]
[bell rings]
The following is the Kiss Me Arse match…
[Michael] Oh, boy.
…where the loser must kiss
the winner's arse.
[rock music plays]
[audience cheering]
[Eden] Introducing first, residing in Hollywood, Florida,
weighing 218 pounds,
Dolph Ziggler!
[John] Well.
Why are you looking at me, Mike? I don't know what to say.
One of these two guys is never gonna get to live tonight down.
[Michael] Well, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus
have been going back and forth all week long on social media
with so many threats concerning tonight's match-up.
In fact, Dolph Ziggler took to Twitter on a number of different occasions.
One of the tweets he sent out, sent it to Sheamus, said,
"It must be hard to look down
on so many people who are much better than you.
Don't worry, we'll all look up to your stupid mohawk #fella."
[John] Yeah, you can tweet all you want.
The fact is Dolph Ziggler better get ready to pucker up.
I hope he brought some lip balm.
[Michael] Well, Jerry, John, and I are being joined at ringside tonight
by none other than our Spanish commentators,
Carlos Cabrera, and Marcelo Rodriguez.
[speaks Spanish]
[both speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[Jerry] JBL, how do you say "arse" in Spanish?
[bagpipe music plays]
[John] It's "El arse".
[laughs]
[screams]
[Eden] And his opponent, from Dublin, Ireland,
weighing 267 pounds,
he's the Celtic warrior, Sheamus!
[Michael] I did an interview with Sheamus on WWE.com last week,
and he talked about missing four months of action with an injury,
and he talked about how it bothered him
that WWE fans didn't even realize
that he was gone.
So he said, "I'm gonna return
with a vengeance to WWE."
And he did just that, guys.
The night after Wrestlemania last month,
it was the return of the Celtic warrior.
And he made his presence felt
first with a brogue kick to Daniel Bryan.
And then he would make Dolph Ziggler pay as well
with a bit of white noise.
[Jerry] You're right.
The Celtic warrior was back with a vengeance.
[Michael] Sheamus saying that he wants to target the…
watch this wicked brogue kick
from Sheamus to Ziggler.
[Jerry] Devastating.
I am back.
[audience cheering and booing]
[John] And a man of few words.
[Michael] Yeah, Sheamus has said he's targeting
the so-called underdogs of WWE
because it's time the WWE had a real hero to look up to,
as we ask you to use the hashtag #kissmearse…
[John] I agree with that.
[Michael] …to talk about this match-up on social media.
[John] You love saying arse, don't you?
[Michael] Sheamus is a hero that the entire world can look up to.
[John] Well, that's what Sheamus believes.
[Jerry] Maybe it's because he's so tall.
[Michael] #extremerules trending number one worldwide right now.
[John] Well, he's 6'8 with the mohawk.
[bell rings]
[Michael] Sheamus/Ziggler traditional match-up here tonight.
However, the loser kisses the winner's arse.
[Jerry] And Ziggler's not gonna take that, yeah.
[Michael] Dolph Ziggler, a former world champion,
which means it doesn't have to be a pinfall or submission.
A disqualification is the same thing.
[John] Or a count-out.
[Michael] Now driving Sheamus back to the corner is Ziggler.
The show off Dolph Ziggler.
Oh, look at the head butt to Sheamus.
Ziggler better be careful not to get into a brawl
with the Celtic warrior however.
[screams]
[Jerry] Nice dropkick by Ziggler.
[John] Didn't even take Sheamus off his feet.
[Michael] Sheamus stunned momentarily.
Now they spill out outside the ring.
This past Monday night on Raw,
Sheamus was beating up Zack Ryder
when Ziggler came to the ring and delivered a zigzag to Sheamus.
Ziggler driven into the steps,
and now Sheamus is looking to turn things around
with an uppercut.
[audience screaming]
[John] Sheamus is just so physical. Whoa, look at this.
[Michael] And Ziggler is so quick.
[Jerry] Nice DDT!
[John] On the floor.
[cheering and applause]
[Michael] That had to hurt Dolph Ziggler almost as much as it did Sheamus though.
Now the referee is gonna head back to the ring and begin to count,
as we take another look.
[Jerry] As you said, DTD on the floor,
but you saw as hard as Sheamus's head hit the floor,
so did Dolph's back.
[Michael] Sheamus back into the ring and Ziggler as well,
but Sheamus catches him in the boot.
[John] I think what Dolph better worry about
is Sheamus's backside,
because I think that's what Dolph may be kissing tonight.
[Michael] Yeah, but what if Dolph wins?
[Jerry] Oh, no, knee right to the side of the head.
He caught Ziggler flush.
[John] It's almost like a brogue kick with a pump knee.
[Michael] Sheamus is rough and tough as he comes,
loves to bully his opponents in the ring.
[Jerry] I know when I had a Kiss My Foot match with Bret Hart,
I didn't wash my feet for three weeks.
-And I had one with you too. -[Michael] Oh!
[Jery] I didn't wash my feet for three weeks then either.
You think either one of these guys have…
I'm not… Well, I'm not gonna go there.
[screams]
[Michael] Yeah, let's stay away from that. Look at Sheamus!
[John] Oh, oh.
[Michael] Man, John, Sheamus is so physical.
[John] As physical as we've ever seen him.
Three-time world champion.
[referee] One!
[John] Didn't he say when he was gone…
You're gonna kiss my arse, fella,
yeah, right in front of everybody here.
[screams]
[John] …nobody seemed to care? It made Sheamus mad.
I don't blame him.
Sheamus deserves respect.
He deserves to be looked up to.
He is the hero that he says he is.
[Michael] Sheamus says he can't understand
why the WWE fans want to cheer
for the likes of Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan
or Neville-- Oh, man!
[John] Well, don't you just like a guy
who just beats people up and works hard
instead of some guy who comes out here
and admits he's a showoff like Dolph Ziggler?
-[Michael] Maybe Sheamus is jealous. -[Sheamus] Come on, Ziggler!
[audience clapping]
[John] I'll tell you what Sheamus is. Sheamus is very confident.
Right now he is destroying Dolph Ziggler, the showoff.
[Michael] I asked Sheamus about this change in attitude.
He said, "What change in attitude? I've always been like this.
I'm still having fun out there."
[John] He's just wearing Dolph down.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Dolph went for the famouser. Sheamus caught him though.
Oh man!
Sit down powerbomb. That could be it.
Oh! And Ziggler at two.
[John] Can you imagine the humiliation from Dolph Ziggler
when he has to pucker up and kiss the backside of this Irishman
in front of the entire world?
It's gonna be on the WWE Network forever.
[Michael] Are you uncomfortable saying"arse"?
[John] My parents watch this show.
[Michael] No.
That's what this match is all about.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] The "let's go…"
[Jerry] It had to be the brain child of this guy right here.
[Michael] The "let's go, Ziggler" chants filling the Allstate Arena.
And again, just like that, Sheamus dominating.
[audience cheering and booing]
[Michael] Big old smile on his face.
Down your face, huh?
Down your face!
[Michael] Oh, wow.
[John] Beating you up and talking smack to you.
You don't belong in my ring!
You understand?
[Inaudible] fellas don't belong in my ring!
[Michael] It's not near as bad as what's coming for Dolph.
John, remember Monday night on Raw Sheamus beat up Ryder
while doing commentary in a microphone throughout the entire match-up.
[John] He was actually very good.
We needed subtitles a couple of times to understand some of the Irish brogue,
but I'm not gonna tell him that.
[Michael] He can take your place, JBL.
[John] No, no. He's doing a great job out there.
[Michael] What he's doing to Ziggler here is just…
[grunts]
[John] He's wearing Ziggler out. That's what he's doing.
Sheamus is enjoying this.
[Michael] What happens if you win the match,
but your opponent is unconscious?
He can't kiss your arse.
[John] Sheamus will hang around to wake him up.
[Michael] Ziggler trying what he can
to get out of this predicament.
[screams]
[Michael] The resilience of Ziggler well documented.
Creates some separation there.
Locks the right. Ziggler with a right of his own.
[Jerry] Big right hand. And another big right!
[Michael] Ziggler showing a little bit of life now.
Sheamus is stunned a bit.
Here's Ziggler unloading on Sheamus.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Ducks the clothesline and-- whoa.
[Michael] A right hand. Sheamus still on his feet.
-[Jerry] What a right hand. -[Michael] Another one.
And now Sheamus is stunned. Ziggler…
[audience roars]
[Michael] …doing what he can to try to knock Sheamus off his feet.
Sheamus is still up.
Ziggler going for the neckbreaker, countered by Sheamus.
Oh, and just like that.
[Jerry] Ziggler threw everything he had at Sheamus. Sheamus never went down.
[audience cheering and booing]
[Michael] And then Sheamus with one big shot,
and down goes Ziggler.
[John] A boot caught Sheamus right in the jaw.
And now that boot was caught.
[Michael] Ziggler went for a super kick and now Sheamus--
[John] Can you imagine the humiliation of Dolph Ziggler
if he has to tap out and then kiss Sheamus's arse?
[Michael] Cloverleaf locked in. What's Dolph gonna do?
Submission maneuver. Dolph locked…
[Jerry] Get the lipstick ready.
Get your Chapstick out, Dolph.
[Michael] If Ziggler taps out, he's gonna be kissing the arse of Sheamus.
[Jerry] Tapping's only halfway there, Dolph.
[kissing noises]
[Michael] Trying to drag him back to the center of the ring.
Ziggler though rolls him up.
Oh, did he get him, did he get him, did he get him?
No, two-count.
And now a super kick down by Sheamus
into the cover for the win! -[Jerry] No way.
[Michael] Sheamus again at two.
JBL, you've done a lot of talk…
about Dolph Ziggler having to kiss.
What if… what if Sheamus has to kiss?
[Jerry] I would make him shave first.
[John] That just won't happen. Look, I'm gonna stick my reputation
on the fact that the person who's gonna kiss the other one's arse
will not be Sheamus.
[Michael] And here's Ziggler now looking for the famouser.
Sheamus back to his feet.
[Jerry] Oh, oh.
[Michael] Ziggler hung up by top rope.
And now Sheamus, Irish curse backbreaker.
Inside leg hooked for the win. And a kick-out.
Both these men doing what they can
to avoid humiliation and embarrassment tonight.
[John] Sheamus could never go back to The Temple Bar
if he were the one to lose, but he's not gonna lose.
Sheamus doesn't lose fights.
[Michael] You're right. Sheamus just manhandling Dolph Ziggler.
[John] It's just a matter of time.
[Michael] He hasn't been able to put Dolph away yet though.
-[John] Wow. -[Michael] Good grief.
[Jerry laughs] Wow.
[Michael] Ziggler just landed on his shoulder.
[audience cheering and booing]
-[Michael] That's just total… -[John] He doesn't care at all.
[Michael] …disregard for your opponent there.
[John] He just doesn't care. Uh-oh.
[Michael] Dolph could get a Revlon endorsement after this.
-[Jerry] For lipstick? -[Michael] Yep.
Sheamus looking for the brogue kick, and if he hits him in the kisser here…
Oh, Ziggler caught it from behind, rolls him up, shoulders down…
I thought he had it! A near-fall.
[Jerry] Oh, no, no, no!
[Michael] And now Sheamus for the win. Will it be Dolph puckering up?
No, kick-out at two.
Man, what a physical match.
[Jerry] Yeah, because this is a very physical stipulation.
Whoa, he's got him!
[Michael] Rolls him up, shoulders down. This time grabbed the [inaudible] .
[bell rings]
-[Jerry] Dolph got him! -[Michael] Is that three? Dolph had him.
[Eden] Here is your winner,
Dolph Ziggler!
[Michael] Pucker up, Sheamus.
[John] That was sweet.
[Michael] Pucker up, fella.
[Jerry] He's gonna do it. He's got to do it.
[John] My reputation is shot!
Wait to go, Sheamus.
[Michael] Who cares about your reputation?
Think about what Sheamus is going through.
He's got to kiss the arse of Ziggler.
[Jerry] Sheamus will never go back [inaudible] at The Temple Bar.
He'll never be allowed back in Ireland.
[Michael] Sheamus can't believe it.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] Yes, yes, you do.
[John] Oh, my God, I never dreamed this could happen. Watch it, watch it.
[audience cheering and booing]
That was at two. That wasn't three.
Ring that bell.
Ring that bell!
[man] Ring the bell!
[audience cheering and booing]
You [inaudible] , and now you've got to kick his arse.
[John inaudible] Wouldn't you be?
[Michael] Hey, Sheamus made the stipulation.
[Jerry] And he's trying to go out the back way.
[audience cheering and booing]
[Jerry] He's gonna be the butt of a lot of jokes around here now.
It's not funny, King.
[Jerry] This is… Come on, this is gonna be great.
[John] No, this isn't funny at all.
You've got a proud Celtic warrior in Sheamus.
[Jerry] Well, you've got a proud Celtic war…
[Michael] I guarantee you, Sheamus was the one that dreamed up this stipulation
because he thought it was gonna be the ultimate humiliation…
[Jerry] Yeah, but to have to do that to that dang smart alec Dolph Ziggler.
This is humiliating for Sheamus.
[Michael] Yeah. This is a disaster.
[audience] Pucker up, pucker up!
[Michael] Pucker up.
[audience] Pucker up!
[Michael] I know one thing.
-[Jerry] Oh, oh. -[Michael] Wait, what's Dolph doing?
Oh, baby.
Sheamus is trying to get away again.
[audience cheering and booing]
[Michael] Seriously, if I were Dolph, I would make Sheamus…
I've heard of slapping the taste out of somebody's mouth,
but this is going too far.
This is your match!
It's on you. This was all your idea.
You tell him.
[Michael] It's gonna happen, guys. He's gonna do it.
Get it over with already.
Will you do it?
[John] There are kids in Ireland right now that have lost their idol.
He's bigger than Rory McIlroy in Ireland.
[Jerry] Make it is nice long smooch. [kissing sound]
[John] No way.
[Jerry] What?
[John] This isn't funny, King.
[audience cheering and booing]
All right, all right!
[Jerry] He's about to join a very exclusive club.
-[Michael] Oh. -[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
-[Michael] Look at this. -[John] Oh.
-[Jerry] No way. -[John] No, Sheamus, don't.
[Michael] He has to.
[Jerry] If I were Dolph, I would still want him to shave.
[John] Ireland just got out of a recession. Now you give them this.
[Jerry] I wouldn't want those beads he's got anywhere near me.
[John] My reputation is shot.
So just go ahead and pucker up and get it other with, Sheamus.
[Michael] Yeah, pucker up, get it over with.
[audience] Pucker up, pucker up!
Pucker up, pucker up!
[John] I think Sheamus has resolved to go ahead and do it,
and get it over with.
You did this!
[Michael] Come on, it's just like a little peck on the cheek.
[Jerry] It's that smart alec's cheek, Dolph Ziggler.
I don't want this.
-You wanted it. -[Michael] I can't bear to look.
It's on you.
This is on you. You wanted this.
[John inaudible] It's humiliating.
[Michael] Oh, no! [Jerry] Hey, wait a minute.
[audience booing]
-[Michael] Watch it! -[John] Oh, come on!
[audience booing]
Are you not entertained?
[audience booing]
[Michael] What a jerk!
[Jerry] He's the one that came up with the stipulation.
Now he's trying to weasel out of it.
You didn't think I would really kiss your arse, did you, Ziggler?
[pants]
Especially not in this stinking town.
[audience booing]
I promised the world
that you would kiss my arse, Ziggler.
And I never want to disappoint.
[Michael] What's he gonna do?
[audience booing]
[Michael] Oh, man, come on!
[screams]
[audience booing]
Kiss me arse!
[Michael] Disgusting.
[audience booing]
[John] You're right. Sheamus almost had to do that to Dolph.
My reputation is intact, it's what I said would happen.
[rock music plays]
[Michael] Well, let's go back and see what should have happened.
I mean, here's how the match ended. Watch this.
Roll through the [inaudible] . There was a distinct three-count.
Sheamus tried to say it was two. Look at the look on Sheamus's face.
He realized he lost.
You lost!
[screams]
[Michael] And then the blatant low blow by Sheamus.
Followed up by the brogue kick,
and then just a horrible display of sportsmanship.
[Jerry] Sheamus, oh my God.
Anything to avoid fulfilling his end of the bargain.
[Michael] How embarrassing and humiliating for Dolph Ziggler.
[John] If I was Dolph, I would take two weeks off and then quit.
[screams]
[John] Listen, that will be on the WWE Network forever.
[Michael] That was not just a peck.
[John] My reputation is intact.
I told you that Sheamus would not be the one who kissed anybody's arse.
I told you.
[pipebag music plays]
[upbeat music plays]
[speaker 1] WWE wouldn't be possible without me.
[speaker 2] I'm the best fighter in the world!
[The Cheap Pops] Don't worry. The streak does not refer to me
shedding clothing in any way.
[speaker 3] What did you decide?
[speaker 4] We are especially proud of this.
[upbeat music plays]
This is too hot for TV.
The more you chant, the less I need to do.
Clever but not funny. I'm with you there.
Welcome, everybody, to Cheap Pops.
[Chris Jericho] I want you
to watch me [inaudible] .
[Stephanie McMahon] This is my ring, my people.
[Mayweather Jr.] I'm the best, Money Mayweather.
[Speaker 5] Everybody's jaw has dropped.
This is really happening?
[Roman Reigns] It took so much more than me
to get to this point in my life.
Did I represent it?
In my heart I feel like I did.
[Speaker 6] It looks beautiful, doesn't it?
-[Speaker 7] Have a nice day. -[Speaker 8] I love that stuff.
You've got to see this.
And we'd like to welcome
the new subscribers who have joined us for the month of April
here on the WWE Network,
and all of you have been with us for a very long time.
We've seen some great action tonight already with Extreme Rules.
And don't forget, coming up Tuesday night on the WWE Network,
it's the finals of the King of the Ring tournament's back.
But don't forget Wednesday night.
I've heard so much so much about Mick Foley's Cheap Pops.
We get to see it on the WWE Network on Wednesday.
Yeah, Mick's comedy show.
Yeah, let me tell you about Thursday.
Thursday, Chris Jericho is gonna go one on one in the studio
with Stephanie McMahon.
And I'm telling you, no holds barred.
Yeah, Chris Jericho live with Stephanie McMahon Thursday night.
It's all part of an historic week
on the WWE Network.
[speaker 9] Stand on your feet
and feel the power!
It's a new day. Yes, it is.
[upbeat music plays]
[Jerry] Have a little New Day action.
[Michael] Number one contenders for the tag team titles.
They knocked off The Lucha Dragons this past Monday night on Raw
to earn this opportunity tonight.
[John] They fight a lot better than Big E claps.
[Michael] Now ladies and gentlemen, we would invite you
to download WWE Immortals for mobile devices now for free.
Team up with your favorite WWE superstars and divas past and present.
WWE Immortals is available
for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android devices.
-[John] The crowd is enjoying this. -[Michael] Yeah.
[Michael inaudible] New Day sucks.
[John] Well, according to the crowd.
[audience booing]
[sirens sounding]
[audience cheering]
[upbeat music plays]
[Michael] And here are your tag team champions,
Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.
They won the tag team titles
by beating the usos back in February at WWE Fastlane.
You see Tyson Kidd very active on social media saying,
"It's not the New Day sucks (they do)…
it's just that we're better.
Me and Cesaro are the best team ever, and that's a fact. #Extreme Rules"
[Jerry] That's a back-handed compliment if I've ever heard one.
[Michael] They've been a very successful tag team, John,
Kidd and Cesaro.
[John] They've been a verysuccessful tag team.
Just what he said, they're not just the champions.
They truly are the cream of the crop in the WWE.
[bell rings]
The following contest is scheduled for a one fall,
and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championship!
[audience cheering]
Introducing first, the challengers,
The New Day!
[audience booing]
[Michael] A resounding boo.
And their opponents,
at a combined weight of 463 pounds,
they're the WWE tag team champions,
Tyson Kidd and Cesaro!
[audience cheering]
[Michael] 14,000-plus
at the Allstate Arena in Chicago tonight sold out
for WWE Extreme Rules.
And this is about the WWE tag team titles.
[Jerry] There they are.
Who's gonna walk out of Extreme Rules with them?
[yelling]
[Michael] Xavier Woods screaming at us to tell them
that "We don't suck, that we're great."
As Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston will be part of this match-up
against Kidd and Cesaro.
[John] Most great athletes don't have to come out
and announce that they don't suck.
[Michael] And it's Kofi and Kidd starting things off.
Tag Team Championship up for grabs tonight.
It should be a very entertaining match-up.
-[Jerry] Whoa, whoa. -[Michael] Nice moves by Kingston.
Splash, Kidd.
Yes! There it is!
There it is!
[Michael] There it is.
[John] Xavier Woods over here cheerleading.
[John] A very loud Xavier Woods.
Natalya, the wife of Tyson Kidd, looking on.
[Jerry] How is their relationship going?
[Michael] Apparently very well, from what I understand.
They patched things up
ever since Tyson and Cesaro won the tag team gold.
[Jerry] I thought with all that exposure on Total Divas it was doomed.
It's like one of those Hollywood weddings
where at the wedding they throw minute rice.
[Michael] That was different.
[Jerry] Yeah.
-[Michael] Whoa! -[Jerry] Oh, nice deep, long drag.
[John] They still may be doomed if Tyson loses those tag team…
[Michael] Backslide, shoulders down, kick-out.
[John] …those Tag Team Championships,
then Nattie may leave him.
[Michael] You don't know that. Why would you start rumors like that?
Tag made. Here comes Big E.
[John] I thought it was in trouble
when I saw the reception was catered by Taco Bell.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] Oh, boy.
[Jerry] That's Mr. Cesaro.
[Michael] Yeah, Big E, the 300-pound powerhouse is gonna go face to face
with the so-called Swiss Superman.
John, this is a battle of power here.
[John] Yes, it is.
[Michael] Show the tackle, Big E draws first blood.
[man] Let's go!
[Jerry] Whoa, look at this! Are you kidding me?
[Michael] Cesaro caught Big E in mid air and slams him down.
-[Michael] Cesaro to the gut. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Michael] Cover, kick-out.
He just… he caught a 300-pound man in mid air.
[John] That was actually the Cesaro dropkick.
[Michael] It was very impressive,
but actually he didn't even get a count of one on Big E.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] I think it's time to get to Xavier.
[Jerry] When will Xavier learn to quit leading that cheer?
-[Michael] How impressive is this? -[John] This is unbelievable.
[Michael] He didn't even buckle in his knees.
And here's Kofi. Oh.
Kofi and Tyson Kidd the legal men.
I could watch these two compete for hours.
These guys could put on a clinic.
Kofi Kingston tweeting out earlier today
that New Day's gonna clap their way to tag team gold.
[John] Well, Kofi himself should know.
He's a three-time tag team champion. Now what?
[Michael] Wait a minute.
Tyson Kidd between the legs of Big E
right into Kofi Kingston's face.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Tyson Kidd's got something planned of his own here.
-Watch out! -[Michael] Oh!
Bodies everywhere.
[Jerry] Yep, bodies everywhere.
E, that's how you do this.
That's how you do this, E.
[all clapping]
[audience chanting]
Stop!
Why? What did we do?
What did we do? We're winning.
We're winning.
[Jerry] Maybe they could get just a sort of a different clap going
than, well, some of that "New Day Sucks" chants.
[John] I think I would throw that clapping out the window.
[Michael] Kofi, tag made by Big E.
Frequent tags now by New Day.
Just wearing Kidd down as…
[John] New Day has the tag team champs in trouble.
[Michael] Xavier Woods continues to talk to himself out here.
[Xavier Woods] New Day!
[Michael] Cover, is it enough for the titles?
And a kick-out by Kidd.
[John] Can we get New Day in the far corner next time?
[Michael] Why?
[John] To get Xavier Woods as far away from us as possible.
[Michael] He's a little loud and obnoxious.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Chants for Tyson Kidd here.
He needs to make it to his corner.
And Cesaro creates a bit of separation there.
But Kingston with a dropkick.
[John] That is incredible…
[Michael] Cover for the tag team gold, and Kidd at two.
[John] …incredible athleticism of Kofi Kingston.
[Jerry] That was a picture-perfect dropkick.
[Michael] I mean, like you said, incredible height.
Kofi Kingston jumped up about eight feet in the air
and actually had to aim his dropkick down.
[John] Talk about a team that complements each other.
You have the high-flying ability of-- oh!
[Jerry] Uh-oh is right, nobody home.
[Michael] Unfortunately, Tyson Kidd is long way away from helping.
-In between him and help is Big E. -[Jerry] Look out.
[Michael] And Big E sent through the second rope.
And Tyson now got an opportunity.
Got to drag himself across the ring
to get to his partner Cesaro.
Big E trying to make it back in.
He does. Tag made, Kofi.
Here comes Cesaro.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] And again the power of Cesaro!
-[Jerry] Oh, oh! -[Michael] Uppercut!
-[Michael] Another one. -[Jerry] Wow.
[Michael] Cesaro like a runaway train.
[John] This is a clinic.
[Jerry] Get out of there, Kofi. Get out of there, young man.
I don't think Kofi can take many more of those.
[John] Or those.
[Michael] Cover for the win.
Kingston just barely gets the shoulder up.
How does he even know where he's at?
[Jerry] I'm not sure he does.
[audience cheering]
[Michael and Jerry] Uh-oh!
[Jerry] Kofi about to go aswinging.
-[Michael] No, wait. -[Jerry] Maybe not.
[Jerry] Kingston top rope, crossbody caught by Cesaro.
[Michael] Oh, my gosh.
[John] That is incredible! Into the backbreaker.
Cover, kick-out by Kingston!
[Michael] Strong as Cesaro.
[Jerry] How on earth did he do that?
Kofi Kingston coming from…
Watch this, just watch.
Up from the top-- all the way to the top
and then he grabbed him like a little baby.
[Jerry] Meanwhile, Kingston though caught Cesaro in the nose with a kick.
And Cesaro catches Kofi with an uppercut.
Action fast and furious here.
Tag made to Kingston.
I should say to Kidd.
Tyson Kidd now legal for his team.
-What is Cesaro gonna do with Kofi here? -[John] This is amazing.
[Jerry] With that much strength, that's a yes. Yes, he does.
[Michael] That's incredible.
Kidd, elbow.
-Cover for the win. -[John] That's gonna be it.
[Michael] And Kofi again stays in it.
-What a match. -[Jerry] You're not kidding.
I mean that was another--
those two moves would have put anybody away.
Watch this. Oh, my goodness.
How do you lift-- you're on the second rope,
you pull somebody all the way up from the floor and suplex them.
[Michael] Kidd looking for the sharpshooter, submission move.
Kingston able to fight out of it.
[Jerry] But you've got to give Kofi Kingston his dues.
This young man is awesome. -[Michael] Tag made to Big E.
[John] What's lost in a lot of this positivity
and this "New Day sucks" chants is the fact that this is a…
[Michael] Big E, oh, my God!
[John] These guys are an incredible tag team.
And we can see a Tag Team Championship change hands tonight.
[Michael] Big E launching himself through the ropes and plastering Kidd.
[John] The only problem with that
is we would have to listen to Xavier Woods more often.
[Michael] Better tell Tyson Kidd don't be on the trench
when that train comes, but he was. Look out!
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Michael] A drop to Cesaro.
Big E like a steamroller.
Tag, Kingston.
Uh-oh, New Day.
New Day looking to win the Tag Team Championship!
[Jerry] They're the new champions!
[Michael] Here's the cover, hook of the leg!
Cesaro-- Cesaro bulldogging his way in,
saving the match-up for his team and the titles.
[Jerry] That was close, whoa.
[Michael] And now Cesaro and Big E going for the top rope.
Kidd and Kingston the legal men.
[Jerry] Boy, Cesaro and Big E landed hard out on the floor.
These guys, they would both be finished.
[everybody clapping]
[audience chanting]
[Michael] And Kofi's looking for some trouble in paradise.
Kidd doesn't know where he's at. There it is.
[John] Kidd caught him.
He steps through, shoulder roll, Kingston on his belly.
[Michael] Sharpshooter, sharpshooter!
[John] Sharpshooter's in! Sharpshooters's in!
[Jerry] That's a hard dungeon right there. About to retain the tag team gold!
[Michael] Kingston trying to make it to the bottom rope,
back to the center of the wring.
And now it's Big E.
And Big E with a throw.
[Jerry] Throw? That's an understatement.
Tyson Kidd was launched all the way across the ring.
Oh.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] The problem was Kofi had no one to tag
because Big E trying to get out of the way on the other side.
[John] Cesaro's legal!
[audience cheering]
[Michael] It's swing time in Chicago.
[Jerry] The swing isn't so bad.
It's the sudden stop that hurts.
[Michael] Cover, hook of the leg
And look, and one's on the apron.
[Jerry] Big E… Xavier Woods is earning his money.
-[Michael] Oh, Natalya! -[John] So was Natalya.
[Jerry] Bam!
[Michael] Big E blasting Kidd.
There goes Big E.
Kofi looking to steal one,
trying to steal the titles.
[Jerry] Tights!
[bell rings]
-[Jerry] We have got new champions! -[Michael] Kofi stole the titles!
[Eden] Here are your winners
and the new WWE tag team champions,
The New Day!
[Michael] I can't believe it.
[Jerry] New champions, it's a new day.
[Michael] New Day with a new way of stealing the tag team titles tonight.
[Jerry] The only downside, we've got to listen to that annoying Xavier Woods
more often now.
But what an incredible team.
[Michael] What an incredible match.
[Jerry] It's a new day in WWE.
[audience chanting]
[John] Tyson and Cesaro can't believe it.
[Jerry] I can't believe it.
Let's go back and look at some of the action.
Earlier on in this match, it was fast and furious.
This huge spear all the way out to the floor by Big E.
And then New Day flying around everywhere. Whoa.
[Michael] This was it here.
New Day were gonna win the titles before Cesaro bulldogged his way back in,
saving the match-up.
And then the double team by Cesaro and Kidd.
[Jerry] That's usually enough to finish somebody off.
[Michael] And then the…
[Jerry] Watch Natalya. Watch this.
Pow! Oh, man.
[Michael] And Tyson Kidd takes out Xavier.
Distraction as Big E blasts Kidd.
Cesaro takes Big E. And Kofi Kingston would steal one here.
[Jerry] And look at those tights, tights, tights.
[Michael] Grabbing the tights as well. New Day, the new tag team champions.
[upbeat music plays]
[Jerry] Congratulations, New Day.
[John] Oh, yeah. That's a victory to be proud of.
[audience cheering and booing]
[John] I bet Nattie leaves Tyson now.
[Michael] Well, New Day the new tag team champions.
Let's check in now with our Extreme Rules kickoff panel
led by Byron Saxton.
Thanks, Michael.
Yeah, I think it's safe to say there's a feeling of shock
and a lot of surprise here in Chicago.
We have brand-new WWE tag team champions.
Of course, I'm joined by my Extreme Rules kickoff panel partners,
the man to my left, Corey Graves,
and of course the hall of famer Booker T.
Corey, I'm gonna start with you. It's been wild. It's been unpredictable.
But we still have plenty more to go. First impressions?
We are just getting started,
and there are two maniacs roaming the streets of Chicago.
Wrigley Field could be flattened.
Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper are still fighting somewhere in this city.
And, Booker, I saw you clapping, man.
-We've got new tag team champs. -[laughs]
-You're happy about this? -It's a new day.
Congratulations to The New Day.
Well, New Day new tag team champions.
But we also thought we were going to see
an intercontinental title match later on tonight
between Bad News Barrett and Daniel Bryan,
but we found out earlier on today
that doctors of Daniel Bryan unable to compete.
Well, that would lend its hand
to Bad News Barrett being in action earlier on tonight
during the Kickoff show against another WWE superstar.
[Michael] And that superstar was the incredible Neville,
the man that gravity forgot.
And what a match-up this was, King,
between Barrett and Neville.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
And, JBL, I think it was you that predicted a bag of bullhammers
would be pulled out by Bad News.
But well, he settled for the wasteland.
[John] Yeah. Neville though was able to kick out of wasteland
much like he did the winds of change earlier on.
[Jerry] Here was the bullhammer, but it missed its mark.
But this didn't. Look at that kick from Neville.
[Michael] Yeah, Barrett was stunned.
And then Neville would climb to the top rope,
and this a thing of beauty, the red arrow connecting.
And Neville with his biggest win since coming to WWE
knocking off the five-time intercontinental champion
Bad News Barrett.
Neville picking up the win on the Extreme Rules Kickoff show.
-[audience counting] -[bell rings]
[music plays]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the new WWE tag team champions,
The New Day.
[audience cheering and booing]
-We did it. -There she is, there she is.
She's pretty, she's pretty.
All right, guys.
Do you think that it's been your positivity that has gotten you
to this point now as champions?
Renee, we've had our struggles, we've had our doubters,
but the sun has risen,
and today is the dawn
of our new day!
[laughing]
Hey, The New Day is tag team champions.
Renee, I said The New Day are tag team champions!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any sweeter, it did.
Man, look, when I say "New Day",
y'all say "new champs".
-New Day. -New champs.
[horn sounds]
[Jerry] What?
[Michael] Oh, hey.
It's Harper and Ambrose.
You're still getting beat up.
-Is he driving? -I don't know.
[inaudible]
-Somebody. -Get him out of here, come on.
[Jerry] Look out!
[Michael] Ambrose going right through New Day.
And Ambrose and Harper
continue their Chicago Street Fight
here at Extreme Rules.
[Jerry] Well, they've obviously been out on the streets of Chicago.
And now they're back!
[John] When they left, Harper was driving.
They come back, Ambrose is driving.
[Michael] Who knows what they were involved in
out on the streets of Chicago.
Now what?
[John] Where's he going?
[Michael] Harper went one way and…
-[Jerry] Harper's back in the arena. -[Michael] …Ambrose went another.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] And here's Ambrose.
Oh!
Remember this street fight continues because there are no count-outs,
no disqualifications.
Pinfall or submission must happen in the ring.
This is the match that kicked off Extreme Rules tonight.
[Jerry] And it's still going-- oh-oh.
Well, it may not be going for long. Look out!
[Michael] Oh, what a clothesline.
The official's back.
[John] Harper looking for more of that arsenal.
[Jerry] And so is Ambrose.
[Michael] Uh-oh.
[Jerry] I think somebody's gonna be pulling out a refrigerator
from underneath that ring one of these days.
[Michael] Uh, guys, how many chairs do they need?
Chairs and more chairs.
[audience chanting]
-[Michael] Oh, here we go! -[Jerry] Oh, man.
Ambrose and Harper in a ring full of chairs.
[Michael] I have a feeling this doesn't end well.
[John] Ambrose is gonna hook Harper for the dirty deeds and now Harper…
Harper looking to powerbomb Ambrose!
[Michael] For the win!
Ambrose still able to kick-out.
[Jerry] How did that not break his back?
Man.
[Michael] I think Harper's wondering the same thing.
[John] Harper can't believe Ambrose kicked out of that.
Neither can I.
[Michael] Talking to himself.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Probably a daily appearance.
[John] It's only when you answer that it's a problem, Michael.
[Michael] Guys…
[Jerry] Don't ask, Michael, what Harper's doing.
Your guess is as good as ours. JBL, what do you think?
[John] I think Michael's guess is as good as Harper's guess.
I don't think Harper knows what he's doing.
I think Harper is just doing whatever comes to mind,
and he just thought, "Hey, I'll put a bunch of chairs
on top of Dean Ambrose."
[Jerry] He's buried Dean Ambrose beneath those chairs.
[Michael] "…the flying zombie off the top right and land on him."
[Jerry] No, surely he's not thinking that.
Oh, oh.
[Michael] Harper was going to the top rope.
Ambrose explodes out the chairs.
And now Harper's off the top rope.
[Jerry] My God.
[John] I said be careful what you bring. You could land on or get hit with it.
[Michael] And now Ambrose-- oh, dirty deeds!
Dirty deeds by Ambrose. -[audience counting]
[Jerry] Ambrose wins the Chicago Street Fight!
[rock music plays]
[Eden] Here is your winner, Dean Ambrose!
[Michael] We still have no idea what happened
when they disappeared for about 30 minutes.
[laughing]
Maybe we shouldn't ask.
[John] Dean Ambrose with a win here tonight
at Extreme Rules in the Chicago Street Fight.
[Jerry] I've got a feeling they're talking about this right now
one of those police radios.
[Michael] This started an hour ago. It was the first match on Extreme Rules.
Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper fight back into the backstage area.
Harper was driving that SUV.
Ambrose dove through the window,
and they drove off somewhere through the streets of Chicago.
And then somehow
Ambrose wasn't driving the SUV, he was aiming it.
Oh, you're still getting beatup.
[Herry] They were back.
[Michael] And then Ambrose on the roof of the SUV
as Harper tried to play keepaway.
And the fight would begin spill out into the Allstate Arena.
[John] And keep in mind, the reason this match-up continued
is because there were no count-outs.
[Michael] And no disqualification.
The only way it could end was inside the ring.
And watch this.
With all those chairs piled up on Dean Ambrose,
he made a surprise appearance and slammed Harper on them.
[Jerry] Ambrose like an insect coming out from underneath the earth.
It was an anything-goes and an anywhere-goes.
[bell rings]
[Michael] And insect coming out from underneath the earth?
[Jerry] You never saw, the insect knocks the dirt and comes up?
Watch the Discovery Channel, Michael.
You've got to do some research, my man.
[Michael] Ambrose celebrating
as only the lunatic fringe knows how.
[John] That's celebrating?
That's strange.
[Roman Reigns] You never see it coming.
One minute, you're on top of the world.
The next it hits you.
Take my moment
and you will feel my rage.
I am vengeance.
I am payback.
[Michael] Well, Payback is three weeks from tonight,
but tonight it's WWE Extreme Rules.
Over 14,000 sold out at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
And ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, King,
first time ever televised on WWE Television.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
A Russian Chain match
for the United States Championship.
John Cena gonna put his title on the line against Rusev.
But they're gonna be chained together with a big metal chain,
and somebody has incapacitate their opponent
and drag him all the way around the ring
and touch all four corners for the victory.
[Michael] This showdown between Rusev and Cena
really started to take shape last month
at Wrestlemania.
[soft music plays]
[Michael] John Cena has called this one
of the most important matches of his entire career.
It's Cena versus the undefeated Rusev
for the coveted United States title.
[Jerry] 70,000 people all on their feet.
[Michael] There's the power and the strength of Rusev.
[John] And now the drop toehold.
STF now.
[Michael] Has John Cena found a way to win another big match?
[Jerry] Oh, look at Lana.
[Michael] Look out. Rusev just plowed into Lana.
Cena, ey!
[Jerry] Cena got him!
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Cena does it!
John Cena has defeated the undefeatable Rusev.
[Michael] John Cena is the United States Champion!
[John Cena] The champ is…
[upbeat music plays]
…here!
America is the land of opportunity.
And finally this is a symbol of opportunity.
Each and every week
you have the chance to see a new champion.
The John Cena US Open Challenge starts now.
And if you want some,
come get some.
[rock music plays]
All I'm offering is an opportunity
to step in here and compete.
[Michael] John Cena is fired up
and he is carrying the red, white and blue on his shoulders.
[John Cena] But if you accept this challenge,
you better step up,
because if you don't,
you're gonna get stepped on.
[rock music plays]
[Michael] John Cena's done it again.
Give it up for him.
[John Cena] I am proud of the United States of America,
and I am proud of the United States Championship.
[rock music continues]
[somber music plays]
[Rusev] John Cena, you are not the hero.
[Lana] Your revolution is but a mere fantasy.
[Rusev] At Extreme Rules, you will beg me for mercy.
[Lana] Your match…
[Rusev] No mercy will be shown.
Will be a Russian Chain match.
[Rusev] This is Rusev domain.
[Lana] John Cena will be chained to the super athlete.
[Rusev] This is Rusev country.
[Lana] The Russian Chain will destroy America's last great hope.
[Rusev] This is Rusev world!
[ominous music plays]
[bell rings]
[Eden] The following is a Russian Chain match
for the United States Championship!
In this match, there are no count-outs, disqualifications,
pinfalls, or submissions.
The only way to win
is to drag your opponent around the ring
touching all four posts in succession.
[Rusev] Rusev putria, Rusev patchka.
[audience booing]
[ominous music plays]
[music continues]
[Michael] Rusev wrapped up in that Russian Chain
which will be used in this match tonight.
And, King, it's been a rough month for that man,
suffering his first defeat at the hands of John Cena,
losing his championship at Wrestlemania.
[Jerry] Yeah, and then after coming to the ring in a tank, a Russian tank.
Have you guys ever seen in real life anybody driving a tank around?
That was awesome.
And then he got beat.
He's got to be hot over that still.
[Michael] Can lightning strike twice?
John Cena knocked off Rusev the first time
in Rusev's history in WWE.
But now this is Rusev's match.
The Russian Chain match.
[ominous music continues]
[music continues]
[audience booing]
[audience chanting]
[rap music plays]
[audience cheering]
This is the place where this starts.
All of it.
[audience cheering]
And it ain't gonna end tonight.
Not with this, not with that man right there.
[rap music plays]
[audience cheering and booing]
[rap music plays]
[Michael] And tonight WWE Extreme Rules
is brought to you by Mountain Dew.
Do the Dew.
[rap music plays]
[Michael] Hashtag #russianchainmatch to talk about this on social media.
[audience cheering]
Introducing first, the challenger,
residing in Moscow,
weighing in at 138 kilos,
he is the recipient of the gold star medal
and the hero to the Russian federation,
Rusev!
[audience booing]
His opponent,
from West Newbury, Massachusetts,
weighing in at 251 pounds,
he is the United States Champion,
John Cena!
[audience cheering and booing]
-[Jerry] The champ is here! -[Michael] The rules of the match-up,
John Cena is going to be strapped into the other end of that chain
and no pinfalls or submissions,
no count-outs, no disqualifications.
You win when you can touch all four corners in succession.
Say you only touch two
and then your forward momentum is stopped, it's waved off.
You've got to go back to the beginning.
Again, all four corners touched in succession to win this match.
[Jerry] And the key is forward momentum being stopped.
Then the count starts over.
[audience chanting]
[John] It is thunderous inside the Allstate Arena.
-[Jerry] You're right about that. -[Michael] John, you were
in a much-heralded bullrope match with Eddie Guerrero
back in The Great American Bash over a decade ago.
Same type of rules as a Russian Chain match.
How difficult is it to touch all four corners in a succession?
[John] Well, you've got to understand that across that ring from you
is another top world-class competitor
that you have to incapacitate badly enough
to drag around the ring.
That is beating them up badly.
It's hard for me to imagine
that Rusev or Cena is gonna be beaten that badly.
But one of them will.
[Michael] And, King, the common denominator here:
a steel chain.
[Jerry] You're right about that. Look at this.
[Michael] And a tug of war to start.
[John] The chain comes into play right as the bell rings.
[Michael] Cena and Rusev jockeying for the upper hand in the early going
for the United States Championship,
the coveted title held by John Cena.
This is a little gamesmanship.
[Jerry] Hey, but look at Rusev inching ever closer,
pulling that chain.
Whoa.
[Michael] And that's Rusev driving Cena into the corner.
[John] And that green light is on, signifying the fact
that first corner was touched.
[Michael] Oh, yeah.
[John] It was touched by both competitors.
[Michael] And now Rusev touches the second corner,
but now that will be waved off
because John Cena has stopped the momentum of Rusev.
The referee waving everything off, as you see the lights are off.
Now the light will go on for Cena.
Cena represented by green in this match-up, Rusev by red.
John Cena's made it already to three corners.
Forward momentum stopped again. Referee will wave everything off.
We start from scratch.
So that's the way this match-up works.
That's how difficult it's going to be to touch all four corners in succession.
We've had Russian Chain matches before in WWE,
some great ones with Bruno Sammartino and Ivan Koloff.
And Rusev now two corners in a row,
but that's all he's gonna get.
But this is the first time a Russian Chain match
has been televised here in WWE.
-[John] I'll be honest with you. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[John] I think both of these guys are a little premature
in trying to touch those corners.
Perhaps just a typical rookie mistake you wouldn't expect from Rusev.
Maybe it's not a mistake.
[Jerry] I thought it was a mistake climbing to that rope
when the chain went over the top.
But instead it was a veteran move to get Cena strung up.
[Michael] Yeah, Rusev using the chain to his advantage
and putting Cena in that prone position.
And Rusev unloading with kicks right to the kidney.
[John] This is what I talked about.
I've been in a lot of bullrope matches before.
I had to wrestle Eddie Guerrero in that one.
I had the advantage because I had been in a lot of them.
Rusev, this is his match.
That's why I think it is so hard for John Cena
to walk out of here the champion.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] The response from a sold-out crowd you'd expect
when the polarizing John Cena's in the ring.
And now Rusev… watch the power of the 300-pounder.
Normally, he would go into a cover there,
but there are no pinfalls or submissions in this match.
[Jerry] Yeah, no need to cover your opponent at all.
This is what it's all about.
[Michael] Red light on.
Second corner touched, but that's gonna be it.
Now Cena uses the chain.
[grunting]
[John] Cena going for that AA early.
[Jerry] And now a blow right to the back of the neck.
The problem is if Cena delivers an AA and say he takes out Rusev,
now you've got to drag that body around the ring.
[John] This is something so foreign to John Cena during this match.
I mean being strapped to your opponent with that steel chain,
having to worry about where that chain is at all times during the match,
it's just so disconcerting. -[Michael] What's Rusev gonna do here?
John Cena now playing tug of war! And he turns the tables.
[John] Well, that worked. It looked like Rusev was gonna do that to Cena,
and Cena able to reverse the direction.
Rusev shoulder first into the post.
John Cena gonna continue the punishment.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] That may do it.
[Michael] Did Rusev's head hit the ring post?
[John] Yeah, Rusev may be out.
The problem is dragging Rusev around this ring.
[Michael] Cena's touched the first corner. Now the second.
[John] Here comes the hard one.
[Michael] And to John's point,
he's got to drag Rusev over there and up
to try to make it to that third corner.
Cena can't quite make it there,
but he's still going forward,
so the referee hasn't waved anything off yet.
Cena's trying to touch a third corner here.
Inches away.
[John] It's not only going forward.
It's your momentum has to be completely stopped.
Rusev countering.
And now the referee's gonna wave off.
And we start from scratch again.
[Michael] Whoa.
[John] And heel kick caught Cena.
Let's go back and look at John Cena pulling Rusev into ring post.
Oh. I think Rusev's head hit.
I thought he was out. That was a good chance
for John to really get around those four corners,
but unable to do it.
[Michael] It shows you how hard it is, King,
to drag a huge man like Rusev around a ring.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] It's not gonna be any easier for Rusev.
[audience chanting]
John Cena's no small fella.
[John] Rusev with a chain right to the midsection.
[Michael] That's why I think it's this mountain that Cena has to climb.
He beat Rusev and knocked him off
for the first time in Rusev's career here in WWE.
To do it twice would be against all odds.
But to do it… -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Michael] …in Rusev's match, the Russian Chain match,
I think it just may be impossible.
[John] Never count Cena out though.
[Michael] He won the moniker "Big Match John".
If anybody can do it, it's John Cena.
I just think it's improbable.
Red light on.
First corner touched.
Second corner touched by Rusev.
He's going for a third.
Now he's got to touch that last corner and it's over.
[John] He knows it and rolls out of the ring.
[Michael] Smart, smart, smart defense by Cena.
Fallen out of the ring,
and he does not allow Rusev enough length in that chain
to get to the corner.
Cena back in, hanging on for dear life here.
Rusev with one,
John, one pull may be able to win this match-up.
And now Cena trying to use his strength to his advantage.
[Jerry] Come on, John!
[John] A tug of war.
He's just got to pull him backwards a little bit to stop momentum.
[Jerry] Rusev desperately trying to reach for the corner.
-[Michael] That did it. -[John] That will wave the lights off.
Again to the ribs by Rusev.
That's got to take so much out of you, John,
having to play defense against Rusev the way Cena's had to tonight.
[Michael] Because you always have to know where you are in the ring.
[John] Exerting so much energy.
[Jerry] What a shot.
[Michael] Pulling back on that 300-pound body of Rusev.
Cena down, and Rusev-- what is…
[John] Yeah, what is Rusev doing here?
[Michael] It's not often you see Rusev go up to the top rope.
And that may have cost him.
[John] Yeah, that may be why you don't see anybody go to the top rope
in a Russian Chain match.
[Michael] And, King, he landed right on the chain.
[Jerry] This chain…
This chain comes into play more ways than one.
[John] You always have to be cognizant of where that chain is.
[Michael] John Cena wrapped it around his forearm there
and delivered a big clothesline.
[audience yelling]
[Jerry] Man down. This could be an opportunity for John.
[Michael] Yeah, but Rusev hasn't move.
Cena touched the first corner, but John's hurt.
[Jerry] If you could get your opponent incapacitated into the center of the ring,
it makes it much easier to get to those four corners
without having to drag his heavy weight around.
[Michael] And, King, that's where Cena's got Rusev here.
[Jerry] Yeah, if Cena could get to these last two turnbuckles,
he walks out of here United States Champion.
Rusev just realized that as well.
[John] Yeah, Cena couldn't quite get to the third corner.
There's a shoulder tackle by Cena.
And Cena into another-- uh-oh, caught by Rusev.
Caught by Rusev.
And the big Russian with a fallaway slam.
And Cena all tied up in the chain.
[Michael] That chain, you could break whatever you land on.
[John] That chain hits you in the mouth, you could break your teeth out as well.
You'll have Luke Harper teeth. As I said, Summer teeth,
some are there and some are gone.
John's down in the middle of the ring. Rusev needs to take advantage.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Watch this kick here. Pow!
That's what got Cena down.
And look at Lana. What's she doing?
[John] She's acknowledging the chants for Lana.
[audience booing]
[Michael] Rusev got a bit jealous
that Lana was acknowledging the fans here in Chicago.
And Rusev sending her back to the locker room, I think.
[Jerry] That really angered the Russian
when Lana was, as you said, acknowledging the adulation of the crowd.
[John] What do you expect? This isn't the Moscow beauty pageant.
[Jerry] I would send her away too. I would fire her for doing that.
Trying to upstage Rusev.
[John] You would honestly fire Lana?
[Michael] And John Cena…
Rusev distracted off the Lana situation.
And Cena has got him where he wants him.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] You can't see me. How about a little five-knuckle shuffle
in a Russian Chain match?
[John] And now Cena with Rusev up on his shoulders.
[Michael] Rusev to the ropes.
Holding on. Now he's got John Cena on his shoulders.
[John] Oh, no, no, no.
[Jerry] Alabama slammer.
[Michael] I don't think Rusev can call that an Alabama slammer.
[grunts]
[Michael] Oh, no, wait, wait, wait, guys. Wait, wait.
Cena's out.
Cena's out. The kick to the spine means Rusev's gonna set up in the accolade.
The accolade.
[Jerry] Oh, no, forget the accolade.
Look at this!
[Michael] And here's Cena into the STF, using the chain to his advantage.
[John] But it doesn't matter if Rusev taps.
You can't win a match that way.
[Jerry] Well, you're right, but you can wear Rusev down enough
to where it would make it easier to drag him around the ring.
Rusev looks like he's fading.
[John] I don't think it matters that he gets to the ropes.
[Michael] It doesn't matter at all.
No disqualification, no count-out, no breaks.
The only thing that matters is touching those four corners in succession.
[John] There goes one.
[Michael] Here he goes.
Cena's got to touch two more-- -[John] Cena's in a great position.
…retain his United States Championship.
-[Michael] Look at how smart Rusev is. -[Jerry] You've got three!
[John] Taking a page out of Cena's playbook from earlier on in the match-up.
[Jerry] You're right. Rusev's smart enough
to get his end of the chain out of the ring
where there was no way
the chain would allow John Cena to make it to that other corner.
The lights are off again.
Whoa.
[John] Now Cena with Rusev up.
He went for the AA again and Rusev-- oh no!
[grunts]
Now Rusev again looking for the accolade.
And now the accolade, the submission maneuver.
Again, even if Cena taps, it doesn't matter.
But Rusev's point is get Cena to pass out.
This hold has only been broken one time. It was at Wrestlemania by John Cena.
[Michael] We've seen a number of athletes pass out to the accolade.
But Cena now trying to make it back to his feet.
What power and strength by Cena. -[John] Cena has done it again.
Well, not yet.
The hold is still locked in.
Yeah, but it just gave Cena a light.
We have Rusev a light.
Rusev's the one that touched the corner. Look. Rusev is the one that's--
I don't think John Cena knows that Rusev has…
-[Michael] No, doesn't realize it. -[John] …got credit for two corners.
[Michael] And now look at Rusev.
Now Rusev realizing that two corners have been touched.
John Cena has no idea what he's done.
[John] Rusev is a corner away from winning the United States title.
Now Cena realizes it.
Cena going for the AA.
AA delivered to Rusev.
And now Cena's got to play catch up.
[Jerry] Those red lights are off.
[Michael] Referee waving off the lights.
Rusev was a corner away
from taking the United States Championship from Cena.
[audience chanting]
[John] Cena would go for the cover after AA,
but it doesn't matter here.
You can't win by pinfall.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[John] Rusev touches one corner.
Cena touches one.
One a piece.
Cena trying to drag himself to a second corner now.
Cena makes the second corner.
Two green lights on for Cena, one for Rusev.
[audience chanting]
Rusev touching the second corner.
So two for Cena, two for Rusev.
Cena touches a third, so does Rusev, for three a piece.
One corner remains. One corner remains!
[Jerry] That's it, one corner.
[Michael] Rusev trying to make it to the corner.
Cena with the AA to Rusev!
John Cena taps the corner!
[Michael] Cena retains the championship!
[rap music plays]
[Eden] Here is your winner
and still the United States Champion,
John Cena!
[Jerry] The forward momentum of John Cena was never stopped.
And John Cena is gonna walk out here with another big match victory.
Big Match John has done it again.
[John] I just regret the fact
that the lovely Lana was not at ringside to witness this.
[Michael] John Cena is still the United States Champion
with a victory in a Russian Chain match here at Extreme Rules.
[fireworks]
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
[John] Now that's a good sight.
Well done, champ.
[rap music plays]
[audience cheering]
[Michael] John Cena may be polarizing,
but by the time he leaves the arena every night,
everyone is standing on their feet.
[John] John Cena earns their respect.
He has for over a decade,
and he continues to every single night.
[rap music plays]
[audience cheering]
[rap music continues]
[upbeat music plays]
[music continues]
[male announces] This Thursday, immediately following Smack Down,
one of the most controversial shows on WWE Network is back.
With authority.
This is my ring, my house, my people.
[male announcer] Live with Chris Jericho.
With special guest Stephanie McMahon.
This wouldn't be possible without me.
[male announcer] Live this Thursday, immediately following Smack Down.
Exclusively on WWE Network.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Roman Reigns.
[audience cheering]
What's your strategy tonight in your Last Man Standing match?
You're facing the Big Show,
who is 450 pounds,
a 7-foot tall giant.
Renee, I think there's one thing I proved to the WWE universe--
is that you can knock me down, but you can't keep me down.
The Big Show, he's tried everything in his power to keep me down.
I have been hit square in the jaw
by a K.O. punch from the world's largest fist.
I've been thrown into the side of a taxicab multiple times.
And then… and then I was chokeslammed on the roof
of that same taxi.
And guess what happened?
I got back up.
So tonight, no matter what happens,
I'm going to get back up.
And I'm going to be the last man standing.
Believe that.

[bell ringing]
[Eden] The following contest is scheduled for one fall,
and it is for the Divas Championship!
Introducing first accompanied to the ring by Brie Bella,
from Scottsdale, Arizona,
she is the Divas Champion,
Nikki Bella!
[Michael] Nikki Bella, very confident Divas Champion.
She tweeted out as much this week
saying she's ready to show the WWE Universe
what fearless Nikki can do.
She claims she's leaving Extreme Rules as champion
and proving that girls run the world.
[Jerry] I won't argue with that.
♪ You can look but you can't touch ♪
[Jerry] I love our Twitter followers.
They tweeted me and said to tell you, Michael--
[speaking Spanish]
-[Michael] What? -[Jerry] It's "kiss my arse" in Spanish.
[upbeat music plays]
[John] You have a lot of followers from Mexico, King?
[Eden] Her opponent from Orlando, Florida,
Naomi!
[Jerry] Wait a minute, Naomi.
[upbeat music plays]
[Michael] Well, she believes in herself. That's for sure.
The new number one contender for the Divas Championship.
Going to show you what happened after Paige won a Divas battle royal
a couple of weeks ago to become the number one contender.
She was being interviewed by Byron Saxton.
I just have to say one thing.
This is my house!
[audience cheering]
[Michael] It came down to Paige and Naomi.
At the end of that battle royal,
I guess Naomi was upset over the fact that Paige won.
And Naomi just snapped.
Keep in mind Naomi had defeated Nikki Bella
on a couple of different occasions,
so she felt she should've just been handed
the number one contendership.
[John] I don't think you call it handing somebody a number one contendership
when they beat the champion twice.
Naomi has a great point.
[Michael] Because of this assault,
Paige has been deemed out of action by WWE doctors
for the immediate future.
[Jerry] Look at this. Naomi is very proud of that.
[Michael] #divastitle to talk about this on social media.
Nikki Bella
has held the Divas Championship for 154 days.
She won the title back at Survivor Series in November of last year.
She's a two-time Divas Champion.
Against the upstart Naomi here tonight.
[Jerry] Guys, I think Naomi's shoes are lighted.
They're lit up.
[screams]
[John] Nikki with a knock-down of Naomi.
And Nikki Bella looking to put Naomi away early.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] Nikki telling me earlier today that she got upset with everybody saying
how Naomi is the most athletic Diva in WWE today.
Nikki said, "Did you they forget about me?"
[Jerry] Guys, her shoes are changing colors.
[Michael] She's been the champ for a long time.
Now the arm bar, Naomi.
-[John] Her shoes are changing colors. -[Jerry] I've got to get some of those.
[Michael] Glad you guys are obsessed with the shoes.
[John] It's a heck of a match. Just…
You've got these neon shoes that are changing colors.
[yelling]
[Jerry] Naomi. With the forearm to Nikki.
And now Naomi looking to take control of the matchup.
Got to be careful she's not disqualified.
You can only win the championship
via pinfall or submission.
[Jerry] Naomi may be wearing those lighted shoes
to distract her opponent, but early on…
[John] Nice suplex by Naomi.
[Michael] And now Naomi in control. Naomi said, "Listen,
it's all about me now. It's my time.
I'm not waiting on any more chances. I'm going to take them."
[John] Naomi saw what happened when you sit back and let things happen.
Things didn't go her way.
She beat the champion twice in non title matches.
She should've been the number one contender.
And for some reason, they put together this stupid Divas battle royal. Wow.
[Michael] Naomi said, "I removed Paige from the equation.
Here's the count to four, the championship and a kickout.
I'm done waiting, it's my time."
[Jerry] Yeah, but I mean Naomi crowing about what she did to Paige,
that's a little… that's pushing the envelope.
You know, it's one thing to be satisfied with a victory,
but you know, putting your opponent out of action,
that's not good. That's nothing to be proud of.
[John] You beat up your opponent in their hometown, that's pretty cool.
Beat up Paige in London. I mean, uh…
I'd brag about that, too.
[Jerry] She did a little more than beat her up. She put her out.
[Michael] We haven't seen Paige since.
Not allowed to compete as Naomi has taken over.
[Jerry] Career threatening. Oh!
[Michael] Naomi for the championship. Nikki who kicks out at two.
[John] Nikki has been a great Divas Champion.
I do believe, though,
Naomi is the best athlete in the Divas division.
[Michael] That's what a lot of people say. She's an opportunity to prove it tonight.
But again, John, you can't take anything away from Nikki Bella.
[John] Absolutely not. She's been an incredible champion.
[Jerry] And for the victory here over Naomi.
And the kickout at two, nearfall for the champ.
[Jerry] John, you are also the one that said--
whoa!
Wait a second.
[Jerry and John] Oh, man!
[John] Driving Nikki's face into the turnbuckle.
Will we have a new Divas Champion tonight at Extreme Rules?
The kickout at two and the nearfall.
[Jerry] You say Naomi is the best Diva,
but you also said Sheamus was definitely going to beat Dolph Ziggler,
but he didn't.
-[John] That's not what I said. -[Jerry] What?
I said Sheamus would not be the one that kissed anybody's arse,
and that is what happened.
[Michael] Naomi for rear view. Nikki Bella able to stop her.
[John] I'm a modern day Nostradamus.
[Jerry] You're a nostra-doofas.
[John] Naomi… oh, man.
The Divas champ may be out, and Naomi celebrating.
[Michael] She believes she's closing in on the Divas Championship.
She could be right now, and Nikki still able to stay in it.
[Brie Bella] Come on, Nikki!
[Michael] You see Brie on the outside cheering her sister on.
I think Naomi is learning a little bit about Nikki Bella tonight.
[John] Looks like she's been out Bigfoot hunting.
[Michael] Do what?
[John] Bigfoot hunting, like a lumberjack. It is the style.
[Michael] It is if you are from the woods.
[Jerry] So lumberjacks hunt for Bigfoot?
I thought they chopped down trees.
You never know
when a Bigfoot will be lurking in the trees-- oh, oh!
There's a big foot from Naomi.
[John] Brie was just checking on her sister.
Naomi beat Brie in a matchup last Monday night on Raw.
Knocked off Natalya Thursday night on Smack Down.
She's been on a roll.
[Michael] I don't blame Naomi. You don't give your opponent a breather
just because their sister is out here checking on her.
[Jerry] I hate to keep harping on it, but Naomi's footwear is awesome.
Wow.
[John] And now Nikki building some momentum.
[audience cheering]
[John] Nikki with a little footwork.
Nice drop kick.
[yelling]
Running clothesline.
Oh, boy.
[screams]
[Jerry] Nikki planting Naomi for the win
and to retain her Divas championship.
Oh, and a nearfall. Two and a half!
[Brie Bella] Come on, Nikki!
-[John] Big forearm in Nikki. -[Jerry] Missed it.
[screams]
[John] Uh-oh. This could be it!
[Michael] This could be the new Divas champion.
[John] Hooks both legs, and Nikki powers out.
[Jerry] Nikki Bella has a lot of resolve.
She's determined that she's going to remain the Divas champion.
[John] Went for the split leg moonsault, and Nikki rolled out of the way.
[screams]
[Jerry] Nikki bouncing Naomi right off her knee.
For the victory.
And Naomi stays in it.
[Brie Bella] Come on, Nikki!
[John] Nikki showing a little frustration now.
See, she thinks she had Naomi.
I thought she did as well.
[Jerry] She may here with the rack attack.
Nikki looking for the rack attack.
Naomi able to fight out of it.
Oh!
[John] Is this enough to win the championship?
And a nearfall.
[Jerry] Naomi got the moves here.
Almost had Nikki. Almost became the new Divas champion.
[Michael] Naomi senses this is her opportunity.
And this could be her night.
[John] Handful of hair now.
Big Elbow by Nikki.
Look out.
[Jerry] And the kick right to the face of Naomi.
Nikki crossed to the cover.
To retain the Divas Championship. And Naomi another nearfall.
Great matchup between Nikki and Naomi here at Extreme Rules.
No, no!
[Jerry] If your face was as good-looking as all these Divas' faces are,
it would really make you upset to get kicked right in the face.
[Brie Bella] Come on now! Come on!
[John] Look at the referee now.
And Brie!
[Jerry] With a kick to the face!
What in the world?
[John] A little payback, I guess, from Brie.
[Jerry] Payback? [inaudible]
[John] And the rack attack.
[Michael] The rack attack to Naomi.
[John] Oh, come on!
Here's the cover.
Nikki retaining her championship.
♪ You can look but you can't touch ♪
[Jerry] That might give new meaning to the term twin magic.
[Eden] Your winner and still the Divas Champion,
Nikki Bella!
[pop music plays]
[Michael] Nikki retains her title.
[John] Thanks to her sister Brie.
[Jerry] Can't argue with that.
[Michael] With that yeti kick.
[Jerry] Yeti kick?
They are a happy couple of Bella twins.
Let's go back and see if that's exactly what happened.
[yelling]
[Jerry] The referee pulling Nikki back.
And look at this.
Oh.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Right, that kick led to this rack attack.
Oh, man.
That sort of wrapped things up for Nikki's victory.
[bell rings]
[pop music plays]
[Michael] That's the reason Nikki has been the champion for so long.
Same reason she's leaving tonight
as the champion.
[Jerry] One way or the other, you've gotta love the Bellas.
[speaking Russian]
[keeps speaking Russian]
[audience] Ooh.
Uh-oh.
What do you think that's all about?
Rusev livid after not being able to win the United States Championship.
Going to see The Authority?
And then, of course, Lana with the fans cheering for her,
kicked out of the arena.
This is the St. Petersburg beauty classic.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next,
Roman Reigns says he's going to keep getting back up
no matter how many times he's knocked down.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
Roman Reigns and the Big Show going to go one-on-one.
And we're going to see who gets back up
because it's a Last Man Standing match.
[rock music plays]
[audience cheering]
Roman, it's been weeks
since the opportunity that you earned
to face Brock Lesnar
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania
was ripped away from you.
[Michael] Seth Rollins!
Mr. Money in the Bank!
Rollins with the title!
The future is now!
[suspenseful music plays]
How are you feeling right now? What is your mental state right now?
The fact is I had more fight in me.
I had punches to throw left.
And Seth came out and he did what he was supposed to do.
He capitalized on the moment.
He took my moment.
If it wasn't for the Big Show,
you would be facing Seth Rollins
at Extreme Rules.
[Roman Reigns] Big Show screwed me.
And I wish I could come out here
and give him all the credit in the world,
but lately he just seems to be Seth's giant [beep] .
Roman, Roman, Roman.
I can do what I want when I want.
Whether I'm following orders
or making orders,
I enjoy keeping you down.
My mission, my goal, my pleasure
is going to be making you the most epic failure
in WWE history.
[suspenseful music plays]
He's a Jumbotron giant all the way in the back.
You continue to stick your nose in my business,
I'm going to retire you.
And you can believe that.
[Big Show] I see Roman Reigns
as a victim of an automobile crash.
That was nice.
[heartbeat sounds]
[audience cheering]
[Big Show] Roman Reigns was disrespectful to me.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Michael] Chokeslam!
And I chokeslammed him right here.
I could have finished Roman Reigns off right there,
but I didn't because I chose not to.
At Extreme Rules,
I will face Roman Reigns
in a Last Man Standing match.
When I'm done with Roman Reigns,
he won't be the last man standing.
Respect that.
[ominous music plays]
[bell rings]
[Eden] The following is a Last Man Standing match.
In this match, there are no count-outs, disqualifications,
pinfalls or submissions.
The only way to win
is to incapacitate your opponent
for a referee's count of ten.
♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪
Introducing first,
standing over seven feet tall,
weighing in at 450 pounds,
he is the world's largest athlete
and the winner
of the André The Giant Memorial Battle Royal,
the Big Show!

This guy needs one bathroom scale for each foot.
[Michael] I saw him at the Macy's day parade,
and he was wearing ropes.
[laughs]
[audience booing]
[rock music plays]
[audience cheering]
[Eden] His opponent from Pensacola, Florida,
weighing in at 265 pounds,
Roman Reigns!
[Michael] Well, guys, the last time we saw Roman Reigns on pay-per-view,
it was at Wrestlemania.
And he was involved
in an awesome main event with Brock Lesnar.
[John] Roman did what I think was the unthinkable to a lot of us.
He went out there and stood toe to toe with Brock Lesnar.
By the time it was over with,
Seth Rollins cashed in that contract for Money in the Bank.
We didn't know who was going to win.
Roman took everything that Brock Lesnar had
and was still standing.
[Jerry] Yeah, but can he take everything that the Big Show has
and still be standing?
We are going to find out in a few minutes.
[John] Hey, only one of them is going to be standing
when this thing is over, King.
[Michael] We'd like you to use #LastManStanding
to talk about this matchup on social media.
Big Show telling Roman Reigns
that, "Listen, my mission,
my goal is to make you the most epic failure
in WWE history."
And here we go. And remember the rules of the matchup.
You've got to incapacitate your opponent
to the point he can't make it to his feet
by a count of ten.
-[grunts] -Oh!
[Jerry] Big Show is going to come out swinging
and go right to work on Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns has other ideas here, for the moment.
[Michael] Roman Reigns is not scared, but he's not being scared enough to win.
Two!
[John] What Roman Reigns has got to be careful of, guys,
is Big Show's vaunted K.O. punch.
That knockout punch could keep Reigns down
for a count of ten.
[pants]
[Johnl] Now, Roman fighting back.
[screams]
I'm a giant!
[John] Roman Reigns getting a physics lesson right now.
-[referee] Three! -Three!
[Michael] Big guy wins collisions.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] Sold out chants directed to Big Show.
[Michael] Big Show, a member of The Authority.
Coming all the way back to Survivor Series.
And now Big Show driven over the top rope.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] If you are Roman Reigns,
how do you keep Big Show down for a count of ten?
[Jerry] I'm not sure he can.
I think Roman Reigns is going to try.
He's going to throw everything in the arsenal and hope--
[Michael] Look at this.
[John] Maybe this is how he's going to do it.
Table in hand, but Big Show,
at size 22 5E boot,
right to the gut of reigns.
Three!
[Michael] Big Show with that table.
[John] He's putting it back.
[Jerry] Big Show says, "I don't need a table."
"I don't want anything to do with a table."
[John] Big Show doesn't like a table unless it has food on it.
[Michael] Is it true his cereal bowl has a lifeguard?
That's what I have heard.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Look out here.
Uh-oh.
[John] And Big Show driven skull first
off the ring post.
And Big Show is stunned.
[Jerry] Yes, he is.
[John] But he's still on his feet.
[Jerry] Yes, he is.
[Michael] Roman Reigns doesn't know exactly how.
Oh!
[Jerry] And Reigns taking Big Show down to his knees.
[Michael] This Last Man Standing as you can see, anywhere they are down,
they will be counted.
You don't have to be in the ring.
[John] Referee Chad Patton on the count of three.
[Jerry] And Roman Reigns determined to get that table in use.
[Michael] Referee is at the count of five now
as Big Show makes it back to his feet.
Reigns with the table set up.
And Big Show now driving Reigns into the barricade.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[John] You could hear it.
[Jerry] Yes.
[John] The people on the front row are now on the third row.
[Michael] And Big Show is now probably more determined
not to use the table as Reigns is to use it.
[Jerry] Show is saying "Here's what I do with tables."
[Michael] Big Show has a weapon.
It's called his right hand.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Kendo stick!
Reigns with a kendo stick to the ribs.
Momentarily.
Reigns off the post.
And again, how do you slay the giant?
Two!
Three!
[John] You can try.
[Michael] Count of four by the official.
Five!
Count of five now.
Roman Reigns trying to make it back to his feet and he does.
[John] No offense, but I think it's going to take more than a kendo stick
to keep Roman Reigns down for a ten-count.
Take out of that a kendo stick wielded by the Big Show.
[Jerry] Of course, Big Show has a lot more than a kendo stick.
[Michael] No, he doesn't have the kendo stick any more.
I'm a giant!
[Michael] Big Show is saying "I'm a giant, I don't need weapons."
[audience cheering and booing]
[grunts]
[Michael] Oh.
Come on!
[Jerry] Big Show is a walking weapon.
[Michael] Reigns is unloading. Back into the corner.
[screams]
[Michael] Reigns, second rope.
Oh, no!
[Jerry] Swatted like a mosquito.
One!
[John] King Kong on the Empire State Building
swatting down planes.
That forces the referee to begin a count.
Now at four.
Remember Reigns has to ten to make it to his feet.
Count of five. Reigns stunned.
Had the wind knocked out of him.
[Michael] Smart move by Roman Reigns. He's on his feet.
[John] Roll back and get on your feet outside the ring.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] One hand. Palming Reaigns, and he is able to counter.
Whoa, whoa.
And now Roman with a steel chair.
Michael-- oh!
[Jerry] Did I mention that I love Extreme Rules?
Oh, yes!
Man.
[Michael] Big Show down to one knee. Roman Reigns wearing out the Big Show.
[John] Chopping the big sequoia down.
Two!
[John] What does Reigns have on his mind here?
DDT to the chair.
[Jerry] He's going to put the Big Show's mind on that chair.
[John] Will this keep Big Show down for the count of ten?
Three!
Four!
Five!
[Michael] Five. Up to five.
[John] Big Show is still on his knees.
Trying to make it back to his feet. Count of seven. Now he does.
[Michael] Big Show startled by the use of those chairs by Reigns.
And Reigns determined, King, to use a table.
[Jerry] He made reservations earlier and ordered a table.
[Michael] I don't know what Roman has in mind,
but he is determined to get those tables in the ring.
[Jerry] Table for two.
Or two tables.
[audience cheering]
-[Jerry] Oh, no! -[Michael] Knockout punch!
-[Jerry] Got him. -[Michael] Knockout punch on the jaw!
[John] Ball game.
[Michael] And Big Show has just knocked out Roman Reigns.
[audience booing]
[Michael] And he's going to count along with the referee.
[Jerry] He may be able to count to 15.
[Michael] A count of five now.
Reigns just beginning to stir.
Count of six.
Roman Reigns was knocked out with that knockout blow.
Count of seven now.
Reigns trying to make it back to his feet. Count of eight.
And both feet. He's up. The referee waves off the ten-count.
[Jerry] I don't know if Big Show really agrees with that one.
Look at that punch.
It was lights out.
But they didn't stay out.
[Michael] Reigns introduced the tables.
Big Show going to use them.
Reigns is still out.
He doesn't know where he's at.
He lines up that knockout punch and does it again.
He puts Reigns away.
[John] I think he's thinking of putting Reigns through that table.
Looking for the chokeslam.
Big Show went for the chokeslam. Roman Reigns was able to counter.
And now Reigns with the drop through the table!
Big Show through the table and the Samoan drop.
And now the referee begins the count.
Both men are down!
Count of three!
[audience] Four!
[John] Count of four from the official.
[Michael] Took away everything that Roman Reigns had left.
[Jerry] This may be it!
Roman is up.
[audience] Eight!
Count is at eight, but Big Show rolls out with both feet.
[Michael] He's on his feet.
[John] On the floor.
He's on the floor, but he's standing.
Look at this.
Head off the table.
[Jerry] That is incredible strength by Roman Reigns.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] Incredible resilience.
[John] Oh, look out. Oh, look out. Whoa, whoa.
-[Michael] Big Show-- -[Jerry] Spear!
Booyah!
Two!
[Jerry] The Big Show just [inaudible] the mass transit bus here in Chicago.
[Michael] He let loose of with that massive spear
and jumped up and said "Booyah."
[John] Halfway there and halfway to victory.
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
[John] Reigns barely back to his feet.
Somehow.
And Big Show continues the attack.
[Jerry] Watch this spear right here.
Oh.
Oh, no.
From a spear to a squash.
[John] 400-plus pounds.
[Jerry] That's it.
Big Show knows it.
Three!
[John] Big Show just going to sit back and watch.
[Michael] Three, up to four.
Five!
[Michael] This might be it.
This is it.
Eight!
Roman Reigns up again.
-[John] Oh, no. -[Michael] Big Show up again.
-Big Show going… -[Michael] What is Big Show thinking?
-[Jerry] Oh, and Roman Reigns counters. -[John] Oh, my goodness.
[screams]
[Jerry] Big Show is screaming in pain.
[John] And Roman knows he's got Big Show where he wants him.
[Jerry] Big Show is certainly not where he wants to be.
[Michael] I don't know if that's exactly where he wants him.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] What does Roman got in mind?
[John] He had two tables in the ring earlier
and now two set up side by side on the floor.
[Michael] He played with Legos when he was a kid.
[John] Or Lincoln logs.
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. -[Michael] Oh, my goodness.
[Jerry] Big Show not going for that, and I don't blame him.
[Michael] Looked like Roman was trying to suplex Big Show.
[Jerry] Yeah.
Off that top and through the tables. [shrieks]
[Michael] Oh, no, no, no, no.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[Michael] Wow.
[John] The whole ring shook.
[Jerry] A lot of body hit that ring.
Both men are down.
[audience] Four!
Five!
Six!
[Michael] Six.
[John] Seven.
[Michael] He's going to make it up looks like.
[John] Both men do.
Roman.
[Michael and Jerry] Superman punch!
[Jerry] The giant still on his feet.
[Michael] And again another Superman punch.
[John] They both landed flush, but the giant still on his feet.
[audience booing]
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] No way.
[John] Oh, my God!
[Michael] Wow!
[audience chanting]
Two!
[John] That has got to do it.
[Jerry] You mess with a giant, that's what happens.
[Michael] Two Superman punches and the wherewithal to chokeslam him
through two tables.
[John] Roman Reigns put up a valiant effort,
but in the end the giant is a giant.
[Jerry] No kidding.
Eight!
[audience cheering]
[Michael] Wait, somehow Roman Reigns is moving.
-[John] Is he going to make it? -[Michael] And he does.
[Jerry] He's on his feet before the ten-count.
[Michael] And Big Show can't believe it.
[John] I can't believe it.
[audience cheering]
[John] And Reigns got from up it.
Reigns promised he was going to keep getting up.
Keep getting up.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] But remember Reigns' promise, guys.
He was going to keep getting up. Keep getting up.
So far, unbelievably he's kept that promise.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Michael] Every time he comes anywhere near us--
here at the steps.
-[Michael] Look at the way… -[John] What is this?
[Michael] Big Show is carrying-- what is he doing?
He's building an erector set.
I would get out of that one. I would get out of there, King.
-Yeah, I agree. -We do.
Tell me one time.
I learned my lesson.
Who said Big Show needs to lose weight?
[inaudible]
[Michael] Why would you write that?
[Jerry] It was your notepad.
[Michael] Goodness.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Look at Reigns.
Look at Big Show.
Reigns trying to just somehow make it back up.
He still hasn't recovered from the choke slams through the table.
Now he's mocking Reigns.
Mocking Roman Reigns.
[Jerry] He's going to put him through another table.
[John] Oh, no!
[Michael] What an idiot.
Look at that.
Big Show drove himself through a table!
[Jerry] Head first.
Three!
Four!
Five!
[John] Reigns has to be careful. He has to make it back to his feet, too,
as well as Big Show.
[Jerry] Count of eight. They are both up.
[Michael] Yeah, they are both up.
And now Reigns with a spear!
[John] And they are back down.
[Michael] That's about all that Roman had left.
[Jerry] He may not need any more than that.
There's Big Show head first through that table.
Oh, man.
Three!
Four!
[John] Big Show staggering around outside the ring,
trying to move some of this furniture out of his way.
[Michael] Now both of these men physically exhausted.
Beat up.
[Jerry] Big Show is looking for someplace to rest.
[Michael] Look out!
[Jerry] Oh, my God!
[audience cheering]
[Michael] Oh! Reigns sending Big Show through the barricade!
Big Show buried under the barricade!
[John] Look at this.
[Michael] And now the official begins to count.
Both Reigns and Big Show and down.
Are either one of these men going to make it back to their feet?
[Jerry] I don't think so.
Roman Reigns is stirring a little bit, but Big Show is motionless.
Roman Reigns is going to make it to his feet.
Look at Big Show.
Wait a minute. Big Show. Big Show is coming out of the rubble.
[John] Big Show has made his way out of the rubble back to his feet.
Reigns can't believe it.
-[Jerry] The shadow emerges. -[Michael] …rising from the ashes.
Look out, guys.
Look out.
No, Show.
Easy.
Oh, my God! Get out of the way! Please.
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, no.
-No. -Oh, my god! Not from here!
Not from here, Show!
Not from here!
Oh, oh.
Reigns able to--
oh, God, oh, God.
Oh, my God! No, no, no!
No!
A spear!
A spear by Reigns driving Show through the announce table!
[Jerry] That's it.
They are both done.
[Michael] You've got to be kidding me.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] Incredible!
Roman Reigns has done everything.
The official at the count of five.
[Jerry] Roman Reigns is up.
Roman Reigns is up.
Roman Reigns back to his feet.
The official at six.
Now he's at seven.
Big Show going to try it to make it back to his feet.
Big Show is going to beat the count.
Big Show did beat the count.
What do you have to do to keep a giant down?
How the hell did Big Show beat the count?
-Oh, my God. Look at this. -Look at Reigns.
Roman, come on!
Reigns is going to bury the Big Show under the table!
Roman Reigns has buried the Big Show under the announce table!
Big Show is pinned under the announce table!
The official has begun counting.
[Jerry] There's the two-count.
Big Show is trapped.
Big Show is trapped under the announce table.
He's pinned in.
Roman Reigns!
Roman Reigns not going to allow the Big Show to get up.
There's a human under there.
Roman Reigns is counting along with the official!
Roman Reigns is the last man standing!
[bell rings]
[rock music plays]
[Eden] Here is your winner,
Roman Reigns!
Ladies and gentlemen, Roman Reigns has arrived tonight!
[John] What an incredible, incredible victory.
[Michael] What an incredible effort Roman Reigns promised.
He'd keep getting up.
And he'd keep getting up.
And he'd keep getting up. And he did.
[Jerry] So did the giant.
Well, up to a point.
[Michael] As you can see, all of that rubble, all that carnage
being lifted off of the Big Show.
Still not able to get up.
[John] And this was the beginning of the end for the Big Show.
A spear by Reigns through the barricade.
But Big Show will get up again.
The spear through the announce table.
And off the spear, this unbelievable spear by Roman Reigns,
Big Show would again make it to his feet before a count of ten.
And this would be it.
Reigns with everything he had
lifting the announce table up to pin the Big Show underneath.
[Jerry] Look at his legs. Oh, man!
[Michael] Not allowing the giant to make the ten-count.
An emotional Roman Reigns would get on the table.
He would count along with the referee.
Roman Reigns, the last man standing tonight.
[audience cheering]
[rock music plays]
[Jerry] Incredible.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] You said it best, Michael.
Roman Reigns has arrived tonight!
[male announcer] We all have moments where we surpass our own expectations.
Sometimes, these moments are small.
And, sometimes, they are larger than life.
Because there's something great in all of us.
It's why we give back and we don't give up.
It's what makes all of us, in our own way,
heroes.
WWE, for the hero in all of us.
[The Miz] I'm a U.S. Marine, and this is my rifle.
We have the masters of our enemy.
My rifle and myself
are defenders of my country.
So be it until there is no enemy.
[male announcer] The Marine 4: Moving Target
available on digital HD, on DVD and Blu-ray.
[audience cheering]
Listen,
we have known each other for more than a decade.
We have fought side by side.
We have faced each other many times.
The Devil's Favorite Demon and The Viper, the two most dangerous men in the WWE.
But you, Kane,
traded your mask
for a suit
to join The Authority.
Now, listen, I get it.
I get it. I understand.
I know what it's like.
And you know as well as I know
that once The Authority is done using you for their purpose,
which is to keep that title on Seth Rollins,
a title that you helped him win, by the way,
you know that when they are done using you for their purpose,
they are going to throw you out like garbage.
[sighs]
I know who you are, Kane.
Even if you have forgotten.
[Michael] Again, the question is, what will the gatekeeper do tonight?
For this is the disaster area
that was caused by Roman Reigns and Big Show,
that Last Man Standing match moments ago.
We learned a lot, guys, tonight about Roman Reigns.
One of the most incredible things I have ever seen
unfolded right here in front of us.
And we did learn something about Roman Reigns tonight.
That indeed he is tough enough.
And speaking of Tough Enough,
that groundbreaking reality series,
it returns to the USA Network on June 23rd.
Now, over the past week, since this announcement,
we have received thousands upon thousands of entries
at wwetoughenough.com.
We want to show you rigth now some of the highlights.
WWE's groundbreaking reality show Tough Enough
returns on June 23rd
in search of the next WWE superstar and Diva.
Will it be you?
Finally my chance has come.
So all over the world
people will want to see who's tough enough.
[Speaker 10] My body fat percentage is between 8% to 10%.
Every time I'm working out,
I'm thinking how can I better myself for the WWE.
I just lifted 510 three times.
I'm 33 years old
and quite possibly in the worst shape of my life.
I get the triple B, beauty, brains and biceps.
It's a physique that's almost non-existent.
I'm built for this.
I'm 6'6", 350 pounds.
I played offensive tackle at Ohio State.
There's no physique like this.
[Jason Khalipa] I won the CrossFit Games in 2008, 2009
I took fifth and I won the Spirit of the Games award.
I'm not doing anything.
Last year I became a professional fitness model.
I just got to pump up real quick because I look so damn good.
I went to compete in Freestyle and Greco nationals.
It's okay to have a little excess baggage in your trunk.
I served four years as an active duty United States Marine.
This is what they believe in.
Who you are and what you did does not matter.
It's about your heart.
This will mean everything to me.
This would be the biggest opportunity that I have ever gotten.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, you can apply now.
You can join the thousands upon thousands who have already applied.
Go to wwetoughenough.com.
Some of those you have got to admit were kind of ridiculous.
I need to tell everybody, your video must be at least up to be 60 seconds,
and shoot it horizontally, the way JBL finished his matches.
[laughing]
Of course, you want to showcase your personality.
John, did you see a new JBL in that batch?
I am hoping I saw a new Michael Cole. It would be great if we could replace you.
And again, we encourage you to share your application on social media
using #toughenough.
Oh, no.
[Jerry] Yes!
[upbeat music plays]
This morning,
in the lobby at my hotel,
there was a sign.
It said "Welcome to Chicago."
[audience cheering]
"The second city."
That didn't make any sense to me.
Because Chicago and its people
are number one!
[audience cheering]
Number one
at collectively deciding not to take a shower
before coming to the arena.
[audience booing]
Number one
at disrespecting an inspirational hero
that's trying to make your miserable smelly lives better.
[audience booing]
You all should be less concerned
with how extreme the rules get
and more concerned
with following the rules.
With treating each other better!
But none of this can happen
unless you would all

[heavy rock music plays]
♪ Feed me more ♪
Wake up! It's feeding time!
[Michael] I've got a feeling
Bo Dallas is going to regret coming out here tonight.
Enraging Chicago with his opinions.
[Jerry] Bo Dallas is like Mike Ditka here in Chicago.
He's a motivator.
[Michael] What?
[John] Bo Dallas wasting little time
allowing Ryback to interrupt his inspirational party.
[Jerry] Bo Dallas does think he's Mike Ditka.
All you have to do is--
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Spine buster.
[John] I think he just ran into Richard Dent.
[laughter]
[audience chanting] Feed me more!
Feed me more!
[Michael] Maybe Ditka's steakhouse, feed me more.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
Hey, Bo!
[John] So much for Tony Robbins.
[Michael] Yeah. Bo, it's time to leave.
Bo, leave.
Feed me more!

You've gotta see this.
[Michael] Guys, it's been an incredible week on the WWE Network.
It all starts tomorrow night on-demand only.
Jerry Springer joins the WWE family with Too Hot for TV.
[Jerry] Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
[Michael] Then we head into Tuesday night.
This is a live action special.
The King of the Ring Tournament
live Tuesday night on the WWE Network.
John, I know you are excited for Wednesday night.
[John] I heard so much about Mick Foley's comedy show Cheap Pops.
[Michael] We get to see it on Wednesday night on the WWE Network.
Thursday night, King, we go to Chris Jericho live.
[Jerry] That's what I'm looking for. One-on-one Jericho and Stephanie McMahon.
I guarantee you, no holds barred.
[Michael] And, guys, Friday night on the WWE Network
on the eve of the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight,
we will take you back to Wrestlemania,
Mayweather versus The Big Show, The Money versus The Giant.
It's all part of the WWE this week.
Again, we'd like to welcome all of you
that joined the WWE Network in April,
and those who have been subscribers for such a long time.
Enjoy the upcoming week on the WWE Network.
What a week.
Welcome, Rusev.
Rusev, obviously, you have to be disappointed.
What fight?
John Cena did not beat me.
John Cena has never beaten me.
He's a liar and a coward.
Lana, [speaking Russian] .
It is done.
The final chapter in Rusev versus Cena will be at Payback.
But it will be an "I quit" match.
A perfect match for your country.
America used to be a country of fighters.
Now they are a country of quitters.
At Payback,
Rusev will go on as America's champion.
And at Payback,
John Cena will quit.
Wow.
[Jerry] Somebody is going to utter those fateful words "I quit."
Somebody is going to admit they are not the better man at Payback.
[Michael] And three weeks from tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, our main event,
the steel cage stipulation was chosen by Randy Orton
to keep The Authority out.
Seth Rollins then decided
that the RKO would be banned when he chose the stipulation.
That steel cage will hold Randy Orton and Seth Rollins
as they battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
live next.
And this story really kicked into high gear
last month at Wrestlemania.
Reigns spear!
[Jerry] He got him.
[Michael] Lesnar is in trouble!
You're going to do the unthinkable.
Caught, caught.
F5!
-[Jerry] No! -[Michael] Who can capitalize?
[rock music plays]
[Michael] What the hell?
Seth Rollins, Mr. Money in the Bank!
This is brilliant!
Rollins with the heist of the century.
Seth Rollins is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
The greatest champion of all time!
♪ I hear voices in my head ♪
Well, you did it, Seth. Congratulations.
But cashing in the Money in the Bank contract
still does not change the fact that at Wrestlemania I beat you.
I beat you at Wrestlemania
and I deserve the chance to beat you again.
But this time for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Seth Rollins along with Randy Orton both getting to pick stipulations
for their match at Extreme Rules for the WWE World Heavyweight title.
My stipulation is going to eliminate your greatest weapon.
At Extreme Rules,
the RKO is banned.
[laughs]
The greatest weapon in your arsenal, Seth,
is your connection with The Authority.
Now, what if The Authority couldn't get to you?
The stipulation I choose
is for you and I to fight
inside of a steel cage.
[Michael] Orton over Rollins.
J&J Security pulling him away.
[John] Mercury and Noble won't be able to help at Extreme Rules.
Since you banned the RKO, I'm going to go backstage
and I'm going to RKO every son of a bitch I see.
And then I'm going to RKO you.
And that is a promise.
[Seth Rollins] I could use some more security.
Maybe you are scared of him.
I'm not scared of facing anyone.
You know what? I'm sick of you not pulling your weight around here.
You are a spoiled little punk
who's been given everything.
You're only champion
because we made you champion!
Enough!
There has been no one more loyal to The Authority
than Kane,
which is why anybody wants to get in
or out of that cage,
they will have to go through Kane.
As director of operations,
it's my job to do what's best for business.
At Extreme Rules,
I'm going to pin Randy Orton's shoulders to this mat,
rendering Kane
as the gatekeeper completely useless.
[Michael] Seth Rollins cannot just keep his mouth shut, can he?
Seth is calling for the cage to come down to shield himself for Kane.
[Seth Rollins] I play this game of human chess better than anybody.
[Michael] It's Randy Orton!
Seth Rollins has nowhere to go!
Rollins' plan has backfired!
The RKO!
Randy Orton delivers on his promise.
[Jerry] That RKO won't be there at Extreme Rules.
[audience cheering]
[bell rings]
[Eden] The following is a steel cage match
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship!
In which the RKO is banned.
[audience booing]
[Eden] The only way to win is by pinfall,
submission or by escaping the cage.
[ominous music plays]
[Eden] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
the director of operations,
Kane!
[Michael] And the man, guys, has assigned as the gatekeeper
for this match tonight.
Triple H,
of course, the head of The Authority
telling Kane to put his differences with Seth Rollins aside
and do what's best for business.
[Jerry] Well, you know,
just looking at him, I've got to wonder, guys.
What is Kane really thinking right now?
What is going through his mind?
[Michael] Well, King, Randy Orton,
a few things he said to Kane earlier on got Kane to thinking.
He used to be The Authority.
He knows what The Authority can do to you.
[John] What does Kane think is best for business?
♪ I hear voices in my head ♪
♪ They counsel me ♪
♪ They understand ♪
♪ They talk to me ♪
[heavy rock music plays]
[audience cheering]
[Michael] Randy Orton could win
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tonight.
Via pinfall, submission or escaping that steel structure.
And the question is,
will Randy Orton be champion
the next time we come to you pay-per-view live
on the WWE Network in three weeks from Baltimore
at WWE Payback?
[Jerry] Remember the RKO is banned.
[John] I think it's naive for us to sit here
and think The Viper Randy Orton
is not going to do everything in his power
to find a way around that.
[Michael] Yeah. He's not a one-trick pony.
Let me tell you this.
The RKO is banned, yes.
But this match is inside a steel cage, which nullifies J&J Security.
Nullifies anybody coming to the aid of Seth Rollins.
And it makes Seth Rollins perform on his own.
He's got to be the better man in this match with The Viper.
And I don't know if Seth Rollins is the better man.
[John] Orton's Wrestlemania victory really earned him an opportunity here
at Seth Rollins tonight for the championship.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] John, we know what the apex predator is capable of,
especially when he's locked inside a steel cage.
We also know as the 12-time world champion,
The Viper Randy Orton knows how to win championships.
[audience cheering]
[heavy metal music plays]
[music continues]
[John] Conspicuous by their absence, J&J Security.
[Jerry] Yeah.
What good are they in this type of match?
None.
[Michael] It is Seth Rollins' first title defense on pay-per-view.
He won the championship at Wrestlemania
when he became the first person in Wrestlemania history
to cash in the Money in the Bank contract.
[Jerry] You can say he defeated Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns
at Wrestlemania.
You can use #steelcagematch to talk about this match on social media.
[John] Well, Seth Rollins calls himself "The Architect."
I'd like to know how he's designed a victory for himself here tonight.
The question is, is the future now?
[John] The question also is,
what's going to happen between these two.
Extreme odds as of late within The Authority.
Remember, Kane does have a point.
Seth Rollins won the money in the Bank briefcase,
which ultimately bought him the championship,
thanks to Kane.
And now the gatekeeper will lock the door.
[Jerry] Yeah. The gatekeeper said don't worry,
he'll do what's best for business.
Guys, I'm going to be frank with you.
I don't think that--
[Eden] Introducing first the challenger
from St. Louis, Missouri,
weighing in at 250 pounds,
the apex predator,
Randy Orton!
[audience cheering]
[Eden] His opponent from Davenport, Iowa,
weighing in at 217 pounds,
he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
Seth Rollins!
[Jerry] Let me finish what I was about to say.
I just can't help but look at Kane
and think that he thinks
Seth Rollins being WWE World Heavyweight Champion
is not what's best for business.
[Michael] Well, that's your belief, King.
We'll see how it plays out here in this match tonight.
Orton-Rollins for the title inside a steel cage.
Again, pinfall, submission, escape,
that means over the top
where both feet touch the floor
or through the door,
where both feet touch the floor gives you a victory.
It's a little unique, John.
Normally you can only win the championship
via pinfall or submission,
but Orton can win tonight by escaping the cage.
[bell rings]
[John] We have seen some incredible WWE Championship matches in cage.
Hogan and Bundy in that blue cage back at Wrestlemania II.
[Michael] Oh, look at this. Seth trying to escape early.
[John] Not a bad idea.
[Michael] You and Eddie were involved in a great championship match,
inside a steel cage.
As Rollins delivers a right.
[John] Eddie jumped off that cage on top of me.
When you say spectacular, you forget my role in that.
[Michael] Okay. And Rollins backing Orton into the corner.
And the matchup under way for the WWE World Heavyweight title
as Orton explodes into a clothesline.
[John] Also had Big Show in a WWE championship.
There's something to be said once that door closes
and you realize you're locked-- -[Michael] Rollins trying to escape!
And Orton playing defense early.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[Michael] Remember, Randy did that exact same thing and hit that RKO,
but he couldn't do it.
[John] Right. That was back on Raw a couple of weeks back.
[Michael] Exact same move, but he didn't have the RKO to use tonight.
[John] Remember, if Randy uses the RKO tonight,
the match is over, and Rollins retains.
[Michael] As I said, guys,
Randy Orton is certainly no one trick pony.
He's got a lot more weapons other than just the RKO.
[Jerry] And Rollins whipped into the corner by Orton.
[John] And the stipulation that Randy chose
was the steel cage
to take away The Authority from Seth Rollins.
And it was brilliant on the part of Randy Orton,
and it may net him his 13th world championship.
[audience chanting]
[Michael] The gatekeeper looks on.
[Jerry] This is where that Viper mentality
is sometimes to me a little questionable.
Just my own opinion.
I would have tried to get out of the cage right there
when he had Rollins down for a considerable length of time.
[Michael] He's going to punish Seth first.
[Jerry] That's The Viper mentality I was talking about.
[Michael] And Seth trying to hang on.
Trying to escape.
Rollins again tries to go up over the cage.
And Randy Orton thwarts the attempt again.
[Jerry] You have got to be careful throwing your opponent into the cage.
Now look at Orton.
[Michael] Most opponents don't stick like Velcroman from David Letterman
on the cage like Seth Rollins does.
[John] I was going to say Rollins with tremendous athletic ability.
[Michael] Randy Orton needs to watch how quick Seth Rollins is.
[Jerry] Oh, boy. Going to find out first hand now.
[Michael] And driving Orton across the ring.
Rollins going to go for the cover here to put Randy away.
Orton at two got the shoulder up.
The stoic Kane looking on.
Saw a shot over his shoulder moments ago.
[John] Stoic?
[Michael] He's been motionless and expressionless.
[John] What's he doing now?
[Michael] Rollins is calling for the door,
and the gatekeeper Kane
has to open the door under steel cage rules.
So Rollins has to go through the door.
If both feet hit the floor, he wins the matchup.
And Randy Orton again.
This will force the door to be closed as Orton is driven in.
[John] You wondered if Kane was going to do his job, there's your answer.
[John] Seth hook of the leg.
Orton at two.
Another nearfall by Rollins.
Orton stunned.
Driven into the cage.
[Michael] During the earlier conversation with Seth Rollins this afternoon,
Seth Rollins had mentioned he was having problems with leg cramps.
I think that's exactly what we just saw.
Seth is not moving as quick as he normally does.
[groans]
[grunts]
[Michael] Now he's got to change his offenses mindset here.
[John] A sodium deficiency.
I don't know if it's enough to replenish that
before the match tonight, but Seth is having some problems.
[Michael] Enough going into a cage against The Viper,
let alone if you are less than 100%.
Driven off the cage again by Rollins.
[Seth Rollis] It's what you wanted, huh?
This is what you wanted.
You wanted this cage!
[Michael] You hear Rollins saying, "This is what you wanted.
You wanted this cage.
Now taste it."
Oh.
[John] And Rollins' turned to punish Randy Orton.
Hammering.
[Michael] Rollins has taken exception
to a lot of things Orton has said about him in recent weeks.
I don't think he thinks Randy respects him as the champion.
And Rollins going to look to escape over the top
where both feet have to hit the floor.
And Randy Orton quickly back to his feet.
Randy Orton now on defense.
[Jerry] Seth Rollins up to the top of that cage.
[Michael] Randy just called Seth everything he can think of.
And Randy has a very vivid imagination.
I don't know why Seth would be upset about that.
[Jerry] Right.
[Michael] Oh! Great move by Rollins. Cover.
Is it enough to put Orton away inside the cage?
Two-count nearfall again for Seth.
[Jerry] WWE World Heavyweight Championship
at stake in this match.
[Michael] Two months ago, called the face of the WWE,
Randy Orton by The Authority and the future of the WWE Seth Rollins.
Seth Rollins believes the future is now.
We're about to find out.
[Jerry] It's hard to dispute that train of thought,
seeing how he is the current champion.
Orton wanted to change that fact, though.
[Michael] Seth, I think, has a lot to prove tonight, King.
He's heard the whispers.
It's one thing to win the championship by cashing in the contract.
The surprise factor.
It's another to go inside a cage and knock off Orton.
[Jerry] Been shouted at by the top of his lungs
by that man, gatekeeper Kane.
[Michael] And Orton side-stepping Rollins and bounces off the cage.
[Jerry] He's been telling everybody that will listen
that without Kane's help,
Seth Rollins wouldn't even be the World Heavyweight champion.
[Michael] It's true.
If it wasn't for Kane, Rollins would've never won money in the Bank.
Seth Rollins had a little something to do with that.
Kane may have had an assist,
but Rollins certainly was the one that climbed the ladder.
[Jerry] Speaking of little somethings,
it's nice not having J&J Security out here, isn't it?
[John] I guess they assumed with the cage, there's nothing they could do.
[Jerry] Nothing.
[Michael] Them climbing the cage would be like us climbing a 50-foot cage.
[Jerry] Reversal!
[Michael] Rollins into the cage.
Randy with the clothesline.
And another one. And here comes The Viper.
[John] Went for the power slam.
[Michael] Hey, hey. Rollins going up the gate.
Seth trying to escape.
[Jerry] Randy Orton has got him by the leg now.
Randy Orton is right up there with him.
[Jerry] Seth Rollins near the top. He has to get over,
and Randy Orton again not allowing that to happen.
[John] When you are dealing with that came up on that top rope,
that's dangerous territory.
[Jerry] And Randy Orton now--
[Johnl] Seth's opportunity.
[Michael] And Rollins! Oh, knee right to the side of the face.
Rollins for the win!
To retain the title,
hooks the leg and the kickout by Randy.
That was close.
Watch this.
Knee right to the side of the face of Orton.
But Orton able to survive.
[John] And now Seth with Randy now is going to try to escape now.
You're right, Randy is down. This is a good opportunity for Seth.
[Michael] He's going to climb over the top and get both feet on the floor.
[Jerry] He's going up. Almost over.
[Michael] Seth Rollins is almost up there to the top.
Randy Orton in pursuit.
Seth Rollins is close to retaining the championship.
High above us here at ringside.
[John] Orton grabbing ahold of that one foot of Rollins
and stopped the momentum. Look at Orton now.
Oh, my God.
Randy is up there as well.
[Jerry] This is dangerous. You're not kidding.
Don't look down, Randy.
[John] I've been there. That is a long way down.
Look at this. Look how high they are.
[Michael] It's a long way down to the ring
and certainly a long way down to the floor.
Rollins and Orton exchanging blows.
[John] Whoever wins this,
Randy has different plans.
[Michael] And the headbutt?
Orton pulling out all the stops.
Oh, Rollins as well.
[John] No, Rollins decided to stay back in.
Body slam! Oh!
[Michael] From the top rope.
Randy Orton for the championship!
Hooks the leg.
Does he got it? Near fall for Orton.
[Jerry] Man.
Look at this.
You can't help but think, as you watch,
that would have been a perfect spot for The Viper
to snap up one of those RKOs and win this thing,
but it's banned.
This is not.
Oh, wait a minute.
[Michael] Rollins trying to steal one here.
The two-count.
Almost had him.
And now solid to the jaw.
[Jerry] Is that a tooth?
[Michael] Cover! Is it enough?
Oh, I thought he had him.
[John] Listen to this.
Oh, man.
One, two.
[Michael] So close for Rollins.
Orton is in big trouble. Look at Rollins.
He's looking and he's thinking. "Should I trying to up and over?"
Maybe through the door. Just cover Orton.
He's got three options right now.
I think he's going to go up and over.
[Jerry] Rollins looking to escape from the cage.
Seth Rollins, now he's at the top rope.
[Michael inaudible] On the top of the cage.
Randy Orton.
[Jerry] He's got both legs over.
Oh, but Randy Orton I believe has got his hair.
[Michael] Oh, no, no, no!
If Rollins can somehow fall to the floor, he'll retain the championship.
Look who's here.
Noble and Mercury. J&J Security.
[Jerry] They are trying to pull him down.
[Michael] And Orton pulling Rollins back into the ring.
[Jerry] By his hair and his head. No way.
[Michael] Oh, my God!
Superplex from the top of the cage!
[Jerry] Now Randy Orton has the options.
I think he's going to go for the cover.
[John] For the championship to beat Rollins.
And Rollins on instinct alone I think got the shoulder up.
[Michael] Orton was reaching back to try and hook that leg.
And that gave the opportunity
for Seth Rollins to kick out.
Get that shoulder up.
It's time.
Let's do it.
Get away from the door!
[Jerry] I don't think Kane wants to hear anything that J&J Security has to say.
[Michael] He's doing his job as the gatekeeper.
[John] I don't see how they could have a problem
with Kane's job so far as the gatekeeper.
[Michael] Wait, wait.
What's Mercury--
Noble here on the other side. -[Jerry] There goes Noble.
[Michael] And now he's using Seth Rollins to his advantage.
-[grunts] -[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Big smile on Randy's face.
He knows he's closing in on the title.
[Jerry] Take care of business, Orton.
Smile and gloat later once you are the champion.
[Michael] And Seth Rollins able to counter,
pinning Randy there between the ropes and the cage.
[John] Rollins trying to pull himself up.
Is he going to go to-- is he going to go climbing?
I think so.
[John] He's going to try anyway.
Seth Rollins--
[Jerry] He's taken a lot of abuse.
He's a little shaky, a little teetering there.
[Michael] Trying to escape again.
It seems like Orton has been playing defense all night
against Rollins' attempt to escape.
[groans]
[Michael] Randy can't find a way to pin Seth Rollins.
And Seth Rollins can't find a way to escape.
[John] Randy is going to…
What's Kane going to do?
Randy is not going to take the chance.
[Michael] He wants to pin Rollins.
[Jerry] I don't get it.
[Michael] Randy wants to pin Rollins.
From the top rope.
DDT!
Vintage Orton!
[Jerry] Now you can go.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] We're about to have ourselves a new World Heavyweight champion.
[audience cheering]
[John] This is where Randy would normally go for the RKO
and he cannot tonight.
[Jerry] Out the door, over the top.
Whatever you want to do, Randy.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] He wants to finish Seth Rollins off.
Is he doing an RKO? Wait a minute.
[Michael] It looked like he was going to try, but no.
[audience cheering]
[Jerry] What is this?
Oh!
A pedigree!
[Michael] That's a message right there to The Authority.
Cover, hook of the leg.
And Rollins kicked out off the pedigree.
Direct message to The Authority
and the boss triple H.
Can't use the RKO.
He'll go for something else.
And Rollins kicked out.
Orton can't believe it.
[John] Orton thought it was a three-count.
He just realized how much he relies on his best shot, the RKO.
[Jerry] I know one thing, that was very, very close
to being a three-count.
And he may have been right there.
[audience chanting]
He's eyeing Kane.
[Michael] Well, the RKO is banned, but this isn't.
[Michael] Fourth and long!
Randy.
Get ready.
Randy going for the--
And Rollins just ducked out of the way.
And Rollins now caught Orton.
[audience cheering]
[Michael] And now Rollins calling for the door.
He's telling Kane open the door.
[Jerry] Both of these guys,
Seth Rollins will be lucky to be able to crawl out that door.
[Michael] The door is open.
Rollins has got to crawl through the door.
Both feet have to hit the floor, and he retains the championship.
Rollins is close.
Seth Rollins is close, but Randy Orton back to his feet.
Randy Orton with a backbreaker.
And now it's Orton's turn.
[Jerry] Wonder if Orton has seen that door open yet.
It's wide open.
[Michael] It's got to be eating him alive, King.
You know Orton wants to pin Rollins and make him suffer.
[Jerry] I'm sure he does.
Randy doesn't know if he can trust Kane or not.
Hey!
Are you kidding me?
[audience booing]
What are you doing?
No, no!
[Michael] Randy could have walked out and won the championship.
Oh, no!
Gatekeeper knocked down!
[Jerry] There he goes. He's almost out.
[Michael] And Randy Orton now playing tug of war with Rollins' legs.
[Jerry] He's got him by only one foot.
And now by the hair.
Better hang on for dear life, Randy.
[Michael] Whoever falls to the floor first
is the next WWE World Heavyweight champion.
Oh, and Kane back to his feet.
And I think Kane hit both guys.
Who was he going for?
Was Kane trying to hit Randy? Or was Kane trying to hit Seth?
[John] I don't know, but Kane has lost it.
[Michael] J&J Security upset with Kane.
And now J&J--
was that the intent?
[John] I don't know. They are telling Kane to get in there and make it right.
[Jerry] What?
Kane is in the ring!
[Michael] And J&J Security following Kane into the ring.
[audience booing]
[yelling]
[Michael] Oh!
[Jerry] Double chokeslam to J&J Security!
Now we know where Kane stands.
I can't believe it. Kane is going after Seth.
[Randy Orton] Please, please…
[Michael] We knew Kane would explode sooner or later.
[John] Yeah, we knew. I think that time is now.
It's been building for weeks and weeks and weeks.
[audience chanting]
[Jerry] You can hear the crowd chanting "Yes."
Do it, Kane.
Oh, no!
[Michael] Kane turning his attention to Randy Orton into a chokeslam.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
Now Seth Rollins with an easy path to victory.
Nothing standing in his way. Whoa.
What?
-[Jerry] Look at this! -[Michael] Wait just a minute!
[Jerry] What?
[Michael] I'm not sure I'm understanding all of this.
[Jerry] I know I'm not.
Kane has just chokeslammed Randy Orton and Seth Rollins to hell.
[Michael] We have got a championship match still going on.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[audience booing]
-[Jerry] Not again. -[Michael] The referee with the cover.
And Orton kicked out.
[John] Kane is getting angrier.
[Michael] Well, if he hadn't snapped up until now, he's about to.
Watch it, Randy.
[Jerry] Oh, no, no, no.
[Michael] Looked like he was going for the--
RKO to Kane!
Wait a minute! Oh!
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
[Jerry] Seth Rollins has RKO'd Randy Orton.
[Michael] Seth Rollins RKO'd Randy Orton.
[bell rings]
[Michael] He escaped the cage and retains the title.
[Jerry] Wait.
[Eden] Here is your winner
and still the WWE World Heavyweight champion
Seth Rollins!
[Jerry] How can this be?
[Michael] Seth Rollins is the WWE World Heavyweight champion.
[Jerry] I mean, the RKO was banned.
The hold itself, the move itself, the RKO was banned.
[Michael] No, King. It was banned for Randy Orton.
Nobody dreamed Seth Rollins would do it.
They banned Randy from using the RKO.
[Jerry] That was not the stipulation. The RKO was banned.
Isn't that what Seth said when he picked the stipulations?
-[Michael] The RKO was banned, right? -[Jerry] Yes.
[Michael] It wouldn't cover Seth Rollins. Nobody dreamed Seth Rollins would do it.
[John] Well, the steel cage wound up not keeping J&J Security or Kane out.
Of course, J&J wished they had stayed out.
And then Kane, look at this.
Going after Orton first.
[John] Kane having to make a decision who he wanted to chokeslam.
So… he choke slammed them both.
[Jerry shrieks]
[Michael] And the match is still going on right now.
Kane would pull Seth on Randy.
Randy would kick out of the cover.
And then Randy Orton now would use the RKO to take out Kane,
but this is the shocker.
Watch Seth Rollins with an RKO to Randy Orton,
allowing Rollins to escape from the cage and retain his championship.
I'm confused.
[John] Yeah, but didn't Randy technically use the RKO first?
[Michael] Yeah, but he used it on Kane, who was not a part of the match.
[John] Well, the move was banned, period.
You can't do it on a taxicab driver, you can't do it on the referee.
The move was banned.
Seth should be the WWE World Heavyweight champion.
[Michael] I disagree totally.
We can sit here and interpret it any way we want.
The bottom line is this.
Seth is leaving Extreme Rules
as the WWE World Heavyweight champion.
[John] And I think we found out the future is now.
And it is Seth Rollins.
[Jerry] I still strongly disagree with this.
[Michael] And Randy Orton is livid.
[Jerry] The RKO was banned,
and Seth Rollins used the RKO to win this match.
[Michael] But Randy used it on Kane, and it wasn't banned for Seth to use it.
Seth is still the WWE World Heavyweight champion.
Thanks for joining us, ladies and gentlemen.
Good night from Chicago.
