[JBL] Kiss the WWE World Heavyweight Championship goodbye.
[narrator] Steel obstacles.
[Michael] Bray Wyatt will go one-on-one with Dean Ambrose.
[JBL] I can't tell you who the winner is. It's too close to call.
It's gonna be us watching this TLC match.
[narrator] He just might be right.
Listen to this crowd.

[Jerry] Well, there's a guy who's hoping
for a little bit of home cookin' here tonight.
Dolph Ziggler, Cleveland native.
[Michael] What a reaction for the former Intercontinental Champion,
Dolph Ziggler.
Will he be able to climb the ladder in his hometown of Cleveland tonight
and retrieve the Intercontinental Championship?
Hello again, everybody, and we welcome you to the final pay-per-view of 2014,
Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Stairs.
I'm Michael Cole alongside the legendary JBL,
the Hall of Famer Jerry "the King" Lawler.
Jerry, are you ready for the Demolition Derby?
Well, you know, this is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Some of these Superstars are gonna get rocked and rolled.
Cincinnati Bengals has something to say about Johnny Manziel's debut today.
And Luke Harper is gonna have something to say about the hometown boy,
Dolph Ziggler, trying to get his Intercontinental Championship.
♪ I'm here to show the world ♪
["Swamp Gas" playing]
[Michael] And here's the Intercontinental Champion, Luke Harper.
Also joining us at ringside, our Spanish announce team,
Carlos Cabrera and Marcelo Rodriguez.
[Carlos speaking Spanish]
[Marcelo speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[Michael] You know, guys, over the past couple of weeks,
Luke Harper has, uh, well, escaped
a number of matches via disqualification.
But in this matchup tonight, he will not have that luxury.
Disqualifications, count-outs, pinfalls, submissions,
none of those rules are factors.
[Jerry] All out the window.
The only thing that just-- can decide this match
is climbing one of those ladders and grabbing that Intercontinental title.
[bell rings]
[Lilián] Introducing first
the challenger from Cleveland, Ohio…
[crowd cheering]
…weighing in at 213 pounds,
Dolph Ziggler!
[crowd cheering]
And his opponent, weighing in at 275 pounds,
he is the Intercontinental Champion,
Luke Harper.
[crowd booing]
[JBL] This isn't just Dolph's hometown.
You could call the Ladder match Dolph's specialty.
[Michael] Dolph Ziggler was part of the WWE TLC
and chairs kickoff show tonight. And he joined us
in the social media lounge, the #AskDolph segment,
where the WWE fans actually sent Dolph Ziggler questions,
asked him about the match tonight.
He said it's gonna be his best damn match…
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Michael] …ever.
-And here we go. -[bell rings]
[Michael] Harper-Dolph underway.
[JBL] Dolph won the Intercontinental Championship
in a Ladder match against Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger,
the Money in the Bank 2010.
Dolph also, in a Ladder match, defeated John Cena
to retain his contract at Money in the Bank.
[Michael] And here we go, wasting little time.
They get ladders involved in this matchup, both Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler.
[Jerry] Yeah. Luke and Dolph hopefully with the same idea.
Let's get some hardware in the ring.
[Michael] Again, you have to climb that ladder
to retrieve the Intercontinental Championship,
-which is hanging high above the ring. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] We invite you to get involved on social media
using the #ICTitle here tonight as Ziggler's bounced off the ladders.
[JBL] That's how we figured Luke Harper would use a ladder.
[Michael] John, you have actually-- and, Jerry, you as well
have both been in Ladder matches in your careers.
[Jerry] Yes. And as you can see, it's already started,
the carnage, thanks to those ladders.
-That's how dangerous-- -[Michael] Oh. Oh, man!
[Jerry] Good grief.
[Michael] Ziggler sent flying into the timekeeper's area.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Luke Harper now back in the ring looking to set up a ladder.
[JBL] Luke Harper may win this right off the bat.
-[Michael] Yeah, he can make-- -[JBL] It's not gonna be great.
-Harper here in Cleveland. -[Jerry] Look at this. Dolph, Dolph!
He's up the ladder, Dolph.
[Michael] Luke Harper climbing the ladder.
Dolph Ziggler trying to play defense early.
-And Dolph Ziggler able to… -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] …survive momentarily.
And a big boot off the face!
[JBL] Wow.
[Michael] If this is a harbinger of things to come,
it is going to be some night here tonight.
[man] Come on, Dolph.
[JBL] The human body is not meant to go through what these guys
are gonna put it through tonight.
[Jerry] Watch this kick. Oh!
[Michael] And wasting little time.
-Luke Harper sent your hat flying. -[JBL] Yeah. He's an idiot.
[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute.
Please.
[Michael] Luke Harper's setting up the ladder
between the ring and the announce table, almost like a bridge here.
[Jerry] Guys, this is not good.
[Michael] Not good at all.
Dolph Ziggler may be down and out early.
Ziggler, though, from behind sends Harper.
And now, Luke Harper planting Ziggler.
Luke Harper came to play tonight, didn't he?
[Jerry] Well, he's never been accused of playing well with others.
[JBL] As he does every night.
Luke Harper loves to fight.
[Jerry] Look at-- what? Oh! The impact.
[JBL] He had all the toys and the furniture.
I think Luke Harper likes it that much better.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Remember, Luke Harper won the Intercontinental Championship
from Dolph Ziggler last month.
A little help in that matchup from Seth Rollins.
[JBL] Oh, stop it.
A little help from a clothesline from Luke Harper is what it was.
[Michael] And, of course, Dolph Ziggler was the sole survivor
at Survivor Series when Team Authority was defeated by Team Cena.
[Jerry] This--
[JBL] One of the greatest performances I've ever seen is what I'm trying to say.
[Michael] Dolph Ziggler was down three to one in that match
before "The Vigilante" Sting would show up.
And look at Harper again climbing the ladder,
looking for the Intercontinental Championship.
And Ziggler able to tear him down.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Oh!
You know, John, you and I talked a little bit about this
before coming into tonight's event.
-And we thought Ziggler… -[Jerry] Watch it-- Oh!
[Michael] …would have the upper hand in a Ladder match,
but Harper doing pretty damn well here.
[Jerry] Yeah, this Luke Harper is just vicious
and total disregard for anybody's well-being,
-including his own. -[JBL] I think Harper's--
I think Harper's enjoying having that many more weapons at his disposal.
[Jerry] Watch this.
Dolph sent into the ladder but there's more to come.
As this ladder will come crashing down
and then right on the side of Dolph's head.
[JBL] Yeah, Dolph never saw it coming.
[Michael] Oh, man. And Harper again--
[JBL] Saw that coming.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Michael] What is wrong with him?
[JBL] Is there anything right with him?
[Jerry] Well, he's either already sweating profusely
or he needs a bib when he goes to--
[Michael] No. It's the same T-shirt he's been wearing for two years out here.
[Jerry] Oh! Yes! Yes!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Ziggler buys himself a little bit of time to regroup.
[Jerry] Some steel for your grill.
[crowd clamoring]
-[JBL] Dolph getting creative. -[Jerry] Yeah.
[JBL] A little necessity's the mother of invention.
[Michael] Uh-oh. Oh, no!
[JBL] Sometimes it doesn't work, though.
[Michael] Every time Dolph Ziggler tries to mount some offense,
Luke Harper is right there.
[JBL] Mom was never good at inventing things.
[Jerry] It's the third time in this match that Dolph
has been incapacitated out on the floor with Luke Harper.
Oh, no. Wait a minute.
Don't do that.
-Don't do that! -[Michael] Look out now!
[Jerry] Oh, he did that.
[Michael] And Harper, a smile crossed his face
as he dumped the ladder onto Dolph Ziggler.
Luke Harper is having a field day here.
[JBL] If you wanna retain that Intercontinental Championship, Luke,
get that ladder right now and climb up there.
[Jerry] That's a sick smile.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] I don't think this is the way
that Dolph Ziggler wanted to start this match
-as the "Let's go, Ziggler"… -[JBL] What in the world?
[Michael] …chants begin again.
[JBL] What's Luke Harper trying to do?
[Michael] Oh, my God, look out! Luke Harper!
-[Jerry] Oh, my goodness. -[Michael] Holy--
[Jerry] What?
[Michael] He may have broken his arm.
[JBL] His arm fell between that ladder right in front of us.
[Michael] Luke Harper dove headfirst through the ropes,
through the ladder, through Ziggler.
-Watch this. -[Jerry] And I think you're right.
-[Michael] Wow. -[Jerry] Watch his arm, may be broken.
[Michael] Guys, this is a near 300-pound man.
[JBL] Look at his arm.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] Oh, my God!
[JBL] That arm hit right between that ladder.
Luke Harper could've just broke his own arm.
[Michael] Oh, look at Dolph Ziggler looking to take advantage.
Ziggler realizes that Harper is hurt.
And Dolph Ziggler wisely going to the ring to set up the ladder
and try to gain the Intercontinental Championship here.
[Jerry] This is Dolph's best opportunity yet in this match.
-Get up there, Dolph. -[Michael] Ziggler gonna climb the ladder.
Harper's back in the ring as well.
Dolph Ziggler could be fingertips away.
Dolph Ziggler's got the title momentarily.
He had a finger on it.
[Jerry] Yeah, but now Luke Harper has Dolph by the heels, by the ankles.
Oh.
Dolph with a handful of hair, too.
[JBL] Dolph doesn't have very far to go.
If he could just climb another rung of that ladder and grab that title.
[Michael] He's got it. He's got it!
-No, he doesn't. -[Jerry] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[Michael] Luke Harper-- Ziggler bouncing off the top rope.
[JBL] For a guy who's never been in a Ladder match,
Luke Harper has figured it out pretty quick.
[Jerry] Yes, he has.
[Michael] Well, he's got no disregard for his own well-being.
Doesn't care about himself. He's a slob.
And that translates into what he's doing in the ring.
[JBL] He may be a slob, Michael,
but he is an incredible Intercontinental Champion.
I don't care how he dresses.
[Michael] The point I was making is,
he has no disregard for his own well-being.
-[JBL] No regard. -[Michael] No regard. Thank you.
[Jerry] That was a long way down for poor Dolph Ziggler and a hard landing.
[Michael] And look at now…
Harper setting up ladders all over the place.
[JBL] A little home decor by Luke Harper.
[Jerry] Oh.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Man, this guy is just--
[JBL] Luke Harper has hit Dolph Ziggler with everything
not nailed down here in Cleveland, so far.
[Michael] Ziggler's got welts growing all over his body.
Taken out by ladders.
He was tossed in the timekeeper's area and knocked off the top of the ladder.
-[Jerry] Yeah, just-- -[JBL] There's some bad intentions…
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[JBL] …right here by Luke Harper.
[Jerry] Evil, evil intentions.
[Michael] He wants to maim Dolph Ziggler here.
[Jerry] And this may do it. Oh, Dolph, he's escaped.
[Michael] Oh, he got him!
Dropkick by Dolph.
Harper on the ladder. Dolph buys himself some critical time.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Huge moment for Dolph Ziggler to try to regain some momentum. Ziggler…
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Michael] …went for the Famouser.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. -[Michael] Harper caught him.
Ziggler went for the Famouser.
Ziggler realized that he's in trouble, trying to fight out of this mess here.
Oh, no!
Spine first into the ladder.
[Jerry] Look at that man.
[JBL] There has been 13 Intercontinental Championships
decided in a Ladder match.
We may be watching the most physical out of all of 'em.
[Jerry] And that smile.
He's-- Harper is finding humor in the misfortunes of Dolph Ziggler
in this match.
Feel this guy. You can just feel it right-- Oh.
[Michael] Oh, God.
Ziggler's body buckling.
[Jerry] How does that not break Dolph in half?
[Michael] And look at-- that's what I was talking about earlier.
Look at the marks, the welts that are forming all over Ziggler's body.
His back, his side.
[Jerry] And these matches are brutal.
[JBL] Some of the great Ladder matches we've seen
for the Intercontinental Championship. Bret Hart-HBK, Razor-HBK,
HBK-Triple H and The Rock.
-[Michael] Oh, no! -[Jerry] Uh-oh. Oh, no.
[Michael] You know, guys, in a--
in a recent interview on WWE.com,
Dolph Ziggler credited the WWE Universe
for bringing him out of a long-time ditch, in his words.
Well, the WWE fans here in Cleveland tonight
are gonna have to do something to try to pull him out of this mess.
[JBL] Never say die, Dolph.
He has a habit of not knowing when to quit.
[Michael] Oh, no. And Dolph Ziggler has been--
-[Jerry] Opened up. -[Michael] Yeah, he's showing the--
[Jerry] I think we're gonna go back and take a look at how that happened.
Watch this. And-- Oh, right on Dolph's head.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] There's our ringside physician.
The doctor gonna--
[Jerry] First thing he's gonna have to see if-- check and see
-if Dolph is gonna be able to continue. -[Michael] Yeah, and it seems--
[JBL] And, meanwhile, Luke Harper just needs to climb the ladder.
[Jerry] And Luke Harper is looking to retain--
[Michael] Wait a minute.
Looking to retain his Intercontinental Championship.
Dolph Ziggler realizing that.
-Just pushed the doctor away. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] And now Ziggler climbed up the ladder.
-Dolph Ziggler going up the ladder. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Man, you gotta give Ziggler a lotta credit.
[JBL] But they have a different-size ladder.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Look at Ziggler go.
Harper's down and so is Ziggler.
Oh, man! That was such an opportunity for Dolph,
but he couldn't quite hang on.
[Jerry] Look at that freak.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Again, the ringside doctor was dealing with Dolph
and Dolph just brushed him aside to try to rush up the ladder and successfully.
[JBL] The doctor has stopped the bleeding.
[Jerry] Yeah, but Harper was about to stop this match
by becoming the Intercontinental Champion again and securing that title.
[JBL] Harper out there getting a taller ladder this time.
[Michael] There's already two in the ring.
He needs another?
[JBL] Yeah, but one of 'em is a short one, though.
There are different-size ladders.
They just figured that out.
[Jerry] Who? This one's longer, as you can see.
[Michael] Look at-- Look at Dolph.
Look at Dolph right to the shins.
[Jerry] Whoa.
This ladder almost stretches across the entire ring.
He's able to shove Dolph almost outside with that one.
[Michael] And Harper's done a great job neutralizing Dolph here.
-And this could be it. -[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[Michael] This could be it for Dolph Ziggler.
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. Oh, no. -[Michael] And Ziggler face first!
Great counter by Dolph!
Great counter by Ziggler!
And here comes the heart of Ziggler.
[Jerry] Do it now!
Luke Harper has got those Krispy Kreme eyes, they're glazed over.
This is your chance, Dolph.
[Michael] Dolph Ziggler.
[JBL] Dolph maybe about to win the Intercontinental Championship
in his hometown.
[Michael] Making a career out of stealing the show.
Trying to do it again.
Trying to win the Intercontinental title.
Ziggler's at the top of the ladder.
[Jerry] Oh, and Harper's up.
[Michael] Harper's up there again as well.
So close again for Ziggler.
Ziggler planted Harper.
[Jerry] Again! Now do it, Dolph.
[Michael] What an ovation by Dolph Ziggler.
[JBL] Yeah, but that took a lot out of Dolph Ziggler.
[Jerry] Yeah, but it took a lot out of Harper as well.
May have taken a tooth or two as well.
[Michael] Now what an incredible Ladder match to kick us off
here tonight at Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Stairs.
[Jerry] Watch this.
DDT. Oh!
Great.
[JBL] Only three people have won the Intercontinental Championship
in a Ladder match more than once.
Dolph is trying to be the fourth.
[Michael] Harper ladder in hand.
Ziggler ladder in hand as well.
And look at Dolph using that ladder almost as a shield.
But I think it did more harm than good.
And Harper--
[Jerry] Oh, God.
[JBL] Now trying to join the status of Jericho…
-[Michael] Oh. Oh! -[JBL] …RVD, and Jeff Hardy.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] But he has got a mountain to climb over.
-And Luke Harper-- -[Michael] Yeah.
But is this his moment, is this his opportunity, John?
[JBL] Dolph doesn't quit.
I give him that.
Right when you think he's done, he finds something left.
That's why people love Dolph Ziggler so much.
[Jerry] Oh. Oh!
[Michael] Oh, my God!
Harper landed on this ladder right in front of us.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Take another look, King.
[Jerry] This is too close for comfort.
[Michael] Right in front of us.
Meanwhile, Ziggler's stirring in the ring.
Ziggler's made it to the base of the ladder.
Dolph Ziggler trying to crawl up that ladder,
climb, climbing gingerly.
Now he's going quicker.
Luke Harper back in the ring. Ziggler touches it.
-[JBL] Ziggler has it. -[Michael] Ziggler with the championship.
-[JBL] Dolph Ziggler has it. Oh, my God. -[Michael] And Luke Harper…
-Oh, my Lord. -[JBL] What a horrible fall.
[Jerry] That may finish Dolph off.
[JBL] There is going to be nothing left of Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler.
[Michael] Harper covered in the stains of this match.
The battle wounds are showing on both individuals.
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
[Michael] And the WWE fans appreciate it.
[JBL] Believe me, so do we.
This is an incredible performance,
all for an Intercontinental Championship.
[Jerry] What a way to kick off Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Stairs.
[Michael] Luke Harper looking to retain.
Dolph Ziggler looking to win.
[JBL] HBK and Razor Ramon have to be smiling watching this one.
[Michael] Yeah. Both of those men Hall of Famers looking on tonight.
[JBL] Both made their name in the Intercontinental Ladder match
just like this.
[Jerry] Watch it, Dolph. This does not work well for you.
-[JBL] Oh, no. -[Michael] And look at Ziggler.
Ziggler uses one ladder to bridge to the other.
[Jerry] Yeah, and then--
-[Michael] Harper's down. Harper's down. -[JBL] Harper!
[Michael] Come on, Dolph!
Ziggler climbing the ladder.
Harper hasn't moved.
[Jerry] Oh, no!
[Michael] Harper back to his feet.
-Ziggler again, just a few feet away. -[JBL] Oh.
[Michael] Harper to the kidney.
[JBL] We talk about Dolph never quitting.
Neither does Luke Harper.
[Michael] My God. This is incredible, guys.
[Jerry] This is what an Intercontinental Championship
is supposed to mean.
[Michael] You know, Pat Patterson, the first Intercontinental Champion's
gotta be watching this with a huge smile on his face.
-[JBL] Wow! -[Michael] Harper's down.
Ziggler.
-Ziggler knows it! He knows it! -[JBL] In your hometown, Ziggler.
-[Michael] He knows it. Ziggler knows it! -[JBL] There's gonna be nothing
as great as this, Dolph.
Get ready to watch the arena explode!
-[Michael] Dolph Ziggler is a four-time… -[bell ringing]
[Michael] …Intercontinental Champion.
["Here to Show the World" playing]
[Lilián] Here is your winner
and the new Intercontinental Champion,
Dolph Ziggler!
[Michael] What an incredible, incredible match.
[JBL] All I can tell you is it's a well-deserved victory.
[Michael] And, Jerry, you can't take anything away from Luke Harper.
He was incredible as well.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
This was absolutely a war.
These two went to war
and somehow, Dolph emerged, barely, victorious.
[Michael] And you know what we saw tonight here, John.
We saw two superstars who are gonna carry us through the next decade here
-in WWE. -[JBL] What we've seen before
in Intercontinental Ladder matches,
RVD, Jericho, Edge, Razor, HBK. They all made their name
in Intercontinental Championship Ladder matches.
Dolph Ziggler and Luke Harper already had a name,
but they cemented that legacy tonight.
[Jerry] And speaking of the closing moments of this match and here…
Dolph thought he had it in hand, I did as well, but a horrible fall.
Watch this kick.
Oh!
Right on the button.
Harper was down.
The title was out and in the hands of Dolph Ziggler.
[Michael] And the celebration in his hometown of Cleveland.
What an absolute stellar performance
and the emotional celebration for Dolph Ziggler.
Guys, I mentioned it when we started the match here tonight.
On the WWE TLC and chairs kickoff show,
an hour before this event here tonight,
Dolph Ziggler asked-- answered questions from WWE fans via Twitter.
One fan asked him what he was gonna do
to recapture his Intercontinental Championship here tonight.
And Dolph Ziggler said with our interviewer,
Tom Phillips, and he simply said one thing.
"In order to capture my Intercontinental Championship tonight,
I am going to have my best damn match ever."
-And he did. -I think he did.
You always wonder when a performer becomes that guy.
I think we saw that tonight in Dolph Ziggler.
That was incredible.
And how sweet for Dolph, Jerry,
to do it in his hometown of Cleveland tonight.
You heard the population of Cleveland
chanting "This is awesome," and it was.
And, you know, John, you can't take anything away from Luke Harper.
What an incredible performance by the former champion.
We've seen some classic Ladder matches for the Intercontinental Championship.
This ranks right up there with all of 'em.
-And it was-- -It was incredible to watch.
[Michael] And people have talked over the years
about the Intercontinental Championship
really being that title that makes the next big stars here at WWE.
-That is the case tonight. -[JBL] It's done it before.
It did it with Bret-HBK.
Just did it with Dolph.

[Michael] Well, ladies and gentlemen, WWE fans voted

If I win tonight, you win tonight,
'cause all doors will open for you.
I promise.
[Michael] How do you think Naomi feels about that, guys?
[Jerry] Uh, a little bit-- uh, what's that word?
[JBL] Flattered, of course.
Miz is just trying to help. What a great guy.
That's why they love him so much here in Cleveland.
[Michael] He's trying to help-- he's trying to play mind games
with Naomi and get Jimmy Uso off his game.
And if you wanna talk about this matchup on social media, use the #TagTeamTitles.
[Jerry] Well, flattered's not the word I was looking for.
Conflicted may be the word I was looking for.
[Michael] So this is Jey Uso starting things off against The Miz
in this matchup tonight for the tag team titles.
The Usos winning tag team turmoil a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Raw
to find themselves in this title match here tonight.
-[Jerry] Look out. -[Michael] Here's-- Shoulders down.
-One. -[Michael] And again.
And back and forth.
[JBL] What a great month it would be for The Usos
to win the Slammy for Tag Team of the Year and also become Tag Team Champions.
[Michael] Nice arm drag takedown into the armbar.
The cheer goes for Mizdow, the stunt double.
You know, John, much of--
much of 2014 saw The Usos as Tag Team Champs.
[JBL] Speaking of one of the greats of all time
in The New Age Outlaws to win those championships.
[Michael] Tag made to Jimmy, and Miz wisely rolls outta harm's way.
[crowd chanting] We want Mizdow.
[Michael] We want Mizdow chants as Jimmy's in pursuit of Miz.
-[Jerry] That didn't take long, did it? -[JBL] Well, I don't understand.
Miz's hometown and they chant for the other guy? Come on.
[Michael] Why not? They don't even like Miz here.
You think it was good strategy by Miz, King,
to try to cause these issues between Jimmy and his wife, Naomi?
[Jerry] Oh.
-[JBL] Yeah. -[Jerry] Well, to be honest with you,
I don't agree with it,
but I do think it's a strategy that may work--
-[Michael] Oh. -[Jerry] Oh, for The Miz.
[Michael] And take Jimmy's mind off the match.
[Jerry] Exactly right.
Oh.
But it could wind up like a locker room fodder.
You know, it could work against The Miz.
It could backfire.
Oh.
[Michael] And there are the brothers Uso
and there's the idiot Mizdow.
[Jerry] Yeah. Why don't you come and try to help Miz,
instead of hanging upside down?
[JBL] The Usos are looking now--
[Michael] This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
[JBL] You said that about Al Pacino, and now look at Al Pacino.
[Michael] Oh, my God. Please.
[JBL] Al Pacino is a method actor.
What Mizdow is--
look at this, that is method acting, and that is brilliant.
-[Michael] How would you describe Mizdow? -[JBL] Absolutely brilliant.
That's like genius of, like,
-Heath Ledger level. -[Michael] And look at this.
-[Jerry] Watch it! -[JBL] Uso!
[Michael] Uso crazy as Naomi looks on.
[man] Uso! Uso!
[Jerry] Yeah, I gotta agree with you, Michael.
I don't see what purpose Mizdow, you know,
emulating every move that Miz makes.
I don't see what-- how that's gonna help the tag team.
-[JBL] You mock-- -[Michael] And now Miz plants Jey Uso.
[JBL] You mock what you don't understand.
[Michael] Miz looking to retain the tag team titles.
Hook of the leg and a kickout.
[JBL] It's actually genius. It's method acting.
[Jerry] I'm not mocking it, I'm admitting I don't understand.
I have no idea what's going on in the head of Mizdow.
[JBL] As I just explained to you, it's like Al Pacino.
He gets into a role. It's method acting.
That's what Mizdow does.
He wants to be more than a stunt double.
He wants to be the star himself.
He wants to be like The Miz.
Who doesn't, really?
The Miz is an A-lister.
[Michael] Hey, you do realize it was Mizdow
picked up the pinfall victory the night back in Survivor Series
and Miz and Mizdow with the tag team titles
-in a Fatal 4-Way match. -[JBL] Oh, oh, oh!
-[crowd chanting] We want Mizdow! -[Michael] What?
[JBL] Mizdow's about to come in, Michael!
-[Jerry] You think? -[JBL] Watch your monitor.
That's what I'm talking about.
[Jerry] Here comes the tag.
[crowd cheering, booing]
-[Michael] Uh-oh. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] From behind, trying to take advantage of the distraction,
and a kickout.
[Jerry] That's what I don't get. Instead of Miz going in
and-- Mizdow going in and saving Miz,
instead he rolls over on his back like a turtle.
[JBL] It's method acting.
People-- It's happened to so many different people.
They start emulating an actor,
they started playing a role, all of a sudden, they become that role.
-They become that person. -[Michael] John, what does acting
have anything to do with being Tag Team Champions
and defending your titles?
You're talking about a movie.
This is an actual event in the ring right now.
[JBL] No, you're right. You're right, you're right.
No actor's ever done well.
John Cena hasn't done well.
The Rock hasn't done well.
Triple H hasn't done well.
Jerry Lawler is an actor, he hasn't done well.
No, none of 'em have. You're right.
[Michael] Yeah, but none of them were acting out this--
these roles in the match like this.
It's ridiculous. Oh, man. Enzuigiri.
[Jerry] There goes Mizdow down as well.
[Michael] And Jey looking to make a tag to his brother Jimmy.
[Jerry] Wait a minute. Mizdow is coming too.
-It's actually The Miz. -Come on, man.
[Michael] Here comes Jimmy.
[JBL] And what's lost in all of this is The Usos are trying to regain
those championships.
[Michael] I haven't lost that fact.
You're the one talking about method acting.
[JBL] I'm explaining it to you.
Some people are simple. Oh, I gotta help you.
[Michael] Samoan drop.
[JBL] Look at this.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] This is history in the making.
And I'm not sure that it's good history.
-Us! -[crowd] O!
-[JBL] Shades of Daddy Rikishi, who was a… -[Michael] Yeah. Oh, the Money Maker.
[JBL] …three-time Tag Team Champ himself.
-[Jerry] Hey. -[Michael] Oh, and Miz.
Mizdow caused the distraction.
Here's the cover. Miz falls into it, and a kickout right now at two.
[JBL] I admit it seems a bit odd at first glance.
[Jerry] Yeah, a bit odd is the fact that usually,
in the movies, the stunt double takes the abuse and the punishment.
But it's becoming the opposite direction here.
[JBL] That's 'cause this is real life, King.
That's movies.
In real life, the stars are the ones that get out there
-and get all of that. -[Michael] Uh-oh. Backslide
for the Tag Team Championship,
and a kickout at two.
Ooh.
Oh, man.
-The top rope, Miz is knocked down again. -[Jerry] Look out.
-[JBL] And the new Tag Team Champion. -[Michael] Trying to win tag team gold
-right here. Now it's Mizdow. -[JBL] There you go.
[Jerry] And finally, Mizdow makes his presence useful for a second.
-Look out! -[Michael] Skull-Crushing Finale.
[Jerry] Caught him.
[Michael] I believe this is the legal Uso here, Jimmy.
-He's caught. -[Jerry] No.
Roll through.
Guys, you gotta admit, Miz is pretty much doing this
-single-handedly. -[Michael] Oh, wait.
-Oh, yeah, look at this. No. He's-- -[Michael] John, when's the last time
you've seen The Usos go for a submission hold?
[JBL] This is something The Usos said they've been working on.
[Michael] Is Miz gonna tap out?
I think it may win them the Tag Team Championships.
[Jerry] Mizdow is--
[Michael] Miz-- and Miz trying to make it to the bottom rope,
trying to win the tag team titles here on the submission.
[Jerry] Mizdow has got his body all contorted as well.
-[Michael] And that's gonna force a break. -One, two…
[JBL] Submission maneuver.
Left arm was chicken-winged, his leg was wrapped around his ear.
[Jerry] Oh.
Cheap shot.
[Michael] Now Miz going for the Skull-Crushing Finale again.
[JBL] Snapmare by Uso-- Super kick right on the button!
[Michael] Is that enough?
Is this enough?
[JBL] That is a long way if Uso's planning to hit that splash from there.
[Jerry] I think you're climbing the wrong corner. Miz--
[JBL] I think you are too.
[Michael] Three quarters away across the ring and Miz--
[Jerry] Miz says he's had enough.
[Michael] Ducks outta harm's way.
[Jerry] He's walking out of this movie.
[JBL] Well, if Miz has had enough, I bet you, Mizdow has had enough, too.
He's got his subtitles with him.
[Jerry] Subtitles.
[Michael] Uh-oh.
Uso hasn't had enough.
And Mizdow--
-Oh, and now Miz uses the Slammy. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] And that's gonna cause a disqualification.
Miz took-- Mizdow took one for the team, did his job as a stunt double.
And then Miz caught The Usos with a Slammy.
-[man] That's it, Mizzy. -[Michael] And then the other one.
[JBL] That Slammy comes in useful.
[Jerry] Miz and Mizdow, get used to it.
They're about to walk outta Cleveland the Tag Team Champions.
[crowd cheering]
[Eden] Here are your winners by disqualification,
The Usos!
[crowd booing]
[Eden] However, still the WWE Tag Team Champions,
Damien Mizdow and The Miz!
[Jerry] Oh, that was rather pathetic.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] They're walking out the champions.
[Jerry] Well, I think it was just a matter of time.
Miz gave it a valiant effort, not much help from Mizdow.
And then finally, Miz realized his effort was not gonna be enough,
so he took the cheap easy way out.
-[Michael] Are you listening to yourself? -[Jerry] He--
[Michael] You just blamed Mizdow for that.
[Jerry] I said Mizdow didn't help.
[JBL] All hail the Tag Team Champions, Miz and Mizdow!
What a great performance!
[crowd booing]
At this time, please welcome the man who will face John Cena
in a Tables match, Mr. Money in the Bank,
Seth Rollins.
Byron Saxton, how are you, my friend?
Seth, tonight, if you win, John Cena is no longer
the number-one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
If I win, Byron? Are you-- Are you outta your mind?
If I win? Look, when I win.
So before we get started here, I wanna take a second
to dedicate my victory tonight
in the Tables match with John Cena
to two very important people,
two people who are near and dear to my heart,
who should be here making the decisions about what happens in WWE,
but instead, are at home watching TLC on the WWE network.
Those two people are Triple H
and Stephanie McMahon.
Now, Byron, why aren't they here making decisions?
Why? Well, let me refresh your memory.
At Survivor Series, John Cena had concocted a plan
to get the authority out of power.
Now, John Cena wasn't the man responsible for that, no.
The man solely responsible for that…
is the "Vigilante" Sting.
[crowd cheering]
Sting is nowhere to be found.
John Cena is here.
And John Cena is going to pay.
He is going to pay starting tonight.
And the beauty-- the beauty about tonight, boys,
I don't have to make John Cena submit.
I don't have to pin John Cena.
All I've gotta do is what I've done the last two weeks
and put John Cena through a table.
And after I do that, I'm gonna stand over his carcass in that rubble
and John Cena is going to realize,
a few things are gonna become clear to him.
First of all, the paradigm shift that I spoke of on SmackDown,
it's real and it is here.
The future has arrived.
Secondly, everything that he's worked for, this title opportunity,
this WWE Championship opportunity versus Brock Lesnar…
-[snaps finger] -Poof.
Gone. Up in smoke.
And lastly, John Cena is going to realize
that I will stop at nothing
until he brings the authority back.
Let's go, boys.
-["Born This Way" playing] -♪ Because I was born this way ♪
[Michael] Well, ladies and gentlemen, TLC and Chairs
is in the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland tonight,
the new home for LeBron James and the Cavs.
And what a night it's been already, ladies and gentlemen.
But coming up next, we have got a first for you here.
It is a Steel Stairs match between Big Show and Erick Rowan.
And to show you a little bit of what these two men face,
we wanna take you to a tale of the tape, so to speak, for the Steel Chairs.
-Take a look at this, King. -[Jerry] Well--
[Michael] I mean, it's absolutely incredible.
[Jerry] Well, there's the weight of just the-- well, just top
of those steel stairs, 87 pounds.
You see the bottom total weight almost 300 pounds.
It is alloy steel.
And it is capable of withstanding an impact of 2200 pounds of pressure.
[Michael] Yeah. You're not going to cave them in.
[JBL] I don't know. You may cave in what you hit with them.
[Michael] Exactly.
-["Crank It Up" playing] -♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪
[Jerry] This guy has caved in a lot of things in his day.
♪ It's the big bad show tonight ♪
[Jerry] Mostly heads.

[Lilián] The following is a Stairs match.
Introducing first, standing at seven feet tall,
weighing in at 425 pounds,
he is the World's Largest Athlete,
the Big Show!
[Michael] Or as many have called him the big traitor
when he knocked out John Cena and almost cost Team Cena the matchup
back at Survivor Series.
[JBL] I'd call him the big family man and a role model.
[Jerry] A big Benedict Arnold.
[JBL] The largest athlete in the world.
[Michael] Well, he's gonna be able to use steel stairs…
[JBL] Look at the shape the Big Show is in.
He looks better than ever.
[Michael] …as weapons.
["Sheepherder" playing]
[Lilián] And his opponent weighing in at 315 pounds,
Erick Rowan!
[Michael] Well, John, you've coined this man Big Red.

Because I'm sure there's going to be a lot to talk about here tonight
between Big Show and Erick Rowan.
Rowan, of course, was one of the surprise members
of Team Cena back in Survivor Series.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] Once told Big Show,
"I don't like big bullies," and here we go.
Great opportunity tonight, John,
for Erick Rowan to make a name for himself.
[JBL] He may be a bully, but he's also-- Big Show is a four-time world champion
and two-time WCW Champion, ECW Champion.
Look at Rowan go. But he has a long way to go…
-[Jerry] Big Show needs to remember-- -[JBL] …before he puts down
the big giant.
[Jerry] Big Show needs to remember the bigger beard has the right-of-way.
[Michael] Oh, no.
No disqualifications or count-outs in this matchup.
-[Jerry] Ooh, man. -[Michael] Need be a pinfall or submission
in the ring and you can use the steel stairs.
[Jerry] Big Show just picked up Big Red like a…
[Big Show] Now, what?
[Jerry] …sack of, uh, potatoes.
[JBL] He looked like a potato.
[Jerry] Watch this. Feel this impact right here.
Oh.
[Michael] That's a 300-pound man, John, the Big Show is throwing around.
[JBL] Just bounced off that floor here in Cleveland.
[Jerry] Uh-oh, stairs! Oh.
[Michael] You know, what I find interesting, too,
is that fateful night when Big Show turned his back on Team Cena
to align himself with Team Authority.
-He's, uh, he's-- -[Jerry] He also likes stamp collecting.
[Michael] He's cozied up to the likes of Rollins and Kane,
you know, those remnants of Stephanie and Triple H's former team.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[JBL] Show just threw Big Red back in the ring by his beard.
[Jerry] By the Big Red beard.
[JBL] Here we go.
[man] Get up.
[Jerry] Guys, we both know how massive those stairs are.
They look like play toys in the hands of the Big Show.
-[JBL] That's right. -[Jerry] Oh!
[JBL] Toys in those massive mitts of Big Show he calls hands.
[Michael] Erick Rowan using the stairs now against Big Show.
And Big Show's down.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Those-- the sound of those stairs
made just-- Rowan ringing Big Show's bell.
[Michael] I guess he didn't like the way things were set up.
[Jerry laughs]
[JBL] Did Big Red not have any Tinkertoys when he was a kid?
[Jerry] We need a new interior designer.
-Oh! -[Michael] Oh!
I think Rowan had his head in books growing up,
as we've have heard about him.
He's very intelligent, high IQ.
Almost a Mensa member.
[JBL] He gonna hit Magnus Carlsen with his chess board.
[Michael] Right.
-We know he's a master of-- -[steel stairs clanging]
And he's aligning the stairs in a picturesque pattern.
[JBL] In a what? What is that, modern day Stonehenge?
-[Michael laughs] -[Jerry] Yeah.
[Michael] Oh, and Big Show right to the midsection.
And Rowan driven skull first right off the steel post
and then he landed on the stairs.
First time ever in a Stairs match.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Oh, no, not again.
-Not this time. -[Michael] Wow.
[Jerry] Big Show just dumping Rowan back into the ring.
[Michael] Well, in order to win the match--
-[Jerry] No. He changed his mind. -[JBL] Yeah, that's right.
That is the way you finish a match, in the ring.
-[Jerry] Shh. -[Michael] Oh!
[JBL] And that is the way you punish your opponent
if you're a giant, the Big Show.
[Jerry] Does he have red hair on his chest?
[Michael] Oh, no, now…
Oh! Oh!
The timekeeper's area getting a workout tonight.
[JBL] You'd think those guys would sit somewhere else.
[Jerry] A different area.
[Michael] Big Show just taking his time.
[JBL] That's what I like about these matches. Gonna get--
-[Michael] Oh, boy. -[JBL] Uh-oh.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Michael] Oh, no.
-[Jerry] Oh, my God! -[JBL] What's that?
[Jerry] Are you crazy?
[JBL] Now, look at this.
[Jerry] He's crazy.
-[Michael] Look at the size of that thing. -[Jerry] He almost got us.
[Michael] Oh, my God.
-John, move those steps. -[JBL] Are you kidding me?
I couldn't lift them like I lifted them back when I was a champion.
[Jerry] Well, ask Big Show nicely.
-It's-- if-- -[Michael] Yeah, okay.
[JBL] No, I'm not gonna ask Big Show nicely.
[crowd chanting] Big Show sucks! Big Show sucks! Big Show sucks
[Jerry] Oh, please. That's only gonna anger him.
[JBL] Please don't make The Giant mad.
[Jerry] Don't disturb him. He's disturbed enough already.
[JBL] He already couldn't figure out that we're not the Spanish announce table.
[Jerry] Yeah. What's up with that tonight?
-Oh, no! -[JBL] Watch out!
[Michael] Right to the rib-- that'll break ribs.
[JBL] The way Big Show is throwing those stairs
around like they're a toy.
[Michael] Rowan is having trouble breathing.
[Jerry] Now, ask him nicely now, JBL.
[JBL] I'm not asking him anything.
What's the matter? You fellas nervous.
-[Michael] Yes. -[crowd booing]
[Michael] My God, the bottom half of those steel stairs as we showed you
weigh almost 200 pounds.
And Big Show just lifted it up and tossed it in the ring
like it was a piece of paper.
[JBL] That's what I love about these matches,
people get really creatively sadistic.
[Jerry] I like the way he asked us nicely.
"What's the matter, you guys nervous?"
[JBL] He did ask and dang right I'm nervous.
[Michael] Well, this is, uh, one event of the year.
I wish our announce table was up in the skybox.
[Jerry laughs]
[Michael] Right now, Big Show just establishing dominance.
[JBL] Things aren't looking too good for Big Red.
[Michael] Yeah, Big-- Erick Rowan may be thinking twice
about coming down and confronting Big Show.
[JBL] It's a huge learning curve.
You're stepping in there with a guy, his first match…
[Jerry] Oh, no!
[JBL] …took the world title from Hulk Hogan.
[JBL] Big Show has been around the block just a few times.
[Jerry] Now, what?
[Michael] You said, uh…
-[JBL] Here's another-- -[Jerry] This match-- this match is--
-[JBL] Here's another first. -[Jerry] They're taking their toll.
[Michael] When you said the creative ways to…
[JBL] Sadistically creative.
-[Michael] I like that. -[JBL] I love-- I love firsts.
I'm just glad I'm not involved in the first, except calling it.
[Michael] Now look at Erick Rowan starting to fight back now.
[JBL] Massive forearms of Erick Rowan.
-[Michael] Momentarily. -[Jerry] Oh, no!
[Michael] And Rowan right off the stairs!
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] And again.
Come on, Big Show. That's enough.
[Michael] Oh, no!
And now Big Show's almost toying with Rowan.
Got a big old smile on his face, the big guy does.
Oh, and there's the clothesline.
You think this is gonna be any different?
[Jerry] Any more of those, JBL, and Big Red will be covered in red.
[JBL] Big Show demonstrating that he is the one true giant.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Couple more of those
and Big Show is going to be able to pick up a pinfall pretty easily here.
[JBL] Nothing's easy but Big Show is certainly getting that direction.
He is wearing out Rowan.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[Jerry] I was going to say I think Big Show wants to test him.
[Michael] Almost look like he was gonna go up on the rope for a chokeslam, didn't it?
-[Jerry] Yeah, he wants to test how much-- -[Michael] Oh, no, look at Rowan!
Look at Rowan! Look at Rowan! Oh, man.
450 pounds bounced off the stairs!
[Jerry] Well, they are supposed to be able to withstand 2,200 pounds of pressure.
[Michael] Did you see Big Show bounce just off-- his spine off the stairs?
Big Show hasn't moved.
-And now Rowan-- -[JBL] Big Show better move now.
Get out of there, Giant! Get out of there!
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] There's nothing the referee can do except watch Big Show
get cut in half by those stairs.
[Michael] Oh, no. Oh, no.
[JBL] Come on.
[Jerry] This could finish off Big Show once and for all.
[Michael] Oh, my God.
-Rowan from the second rope with… -[JBL] Get out of there, Big Show.
[Michael] …those steel stairs in hand.
[JBL] We're about to see the hand of the--
-[Michael] Oh! And Big Show just-- -[JBL] Oh, he got him. He got part of him.
[Michael] I think it caught the side of him.
-[Jerry] Yes, it did. -[Michael] That would have crushed
his sternum but I believe Big Show rolled out of the way.
But I think his side still got caught by the point of the stairs.
[Jerry] I think the stairs bounced back and hit Erick Rowan right in the head.
-Let's see if this catches his side. -[Michael] Oh, yes.
-[JBL] Sure did. -[Michael] And Big Show is smarting out.
-[Jerry] And Erick Rowan's-- -[JBL] That could have--
that could have broke a hip.
[Jerry] Erick Rowan's face caught those steps as well, the stairs.
[Michael] Yeah. Big Show moving rather gingerly now.
Erick Rowan trying to shake the cobwebs.
Oh, my Lord!
[JBL] Wow.
I don't see how Big Show is moving at all.
[Jerry] Stair bowling.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] They are both out.
[Michael] Watch this.
You're right, King, stair bowling.
[Jerry] It was a strike.
[Michael] Yeah, but Big Show may have been just…
[JBL] Yeah, talk about demolition derby.
It certainly applies in this match.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Big Show is still stinging from getting a--
caught with the corner of those stairs a little bit earlier.
Watch this.
[Jerry] It's hard to watch.
[JBL] That is hundreds of pounds of steel.
And two huge men falling in between it.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Oh, Rowan!
[Jerry] Rowan just sent those steel stairs right back into the mush of Big Show.
[Michael] And Rowan looking to somehow capitalize here, guys.
-Going back to his feet. -[JBL] Desperation move by Rowan,
but it was a good one.
[Jerry] Oh, man, look at this.
[Michael] Oh, no, no, no.
-[JBL] Chokeslam right on the stairs. -[Michael] Chokeslam right on the stairs!
[JBL] Welcome to the big time, Big Red.
Welcome to The Giant's world.
[Jerry] That is like sending an electric shock…
-[JBL] Wow. -[Jerry] …right through your entire body.
[JBL] Right to the head, knockout blow.
[Michael] And now Big Show gonna go for the victory here.
-Here's the cover. -[JBL] Count to 50.
[Michael] Oh, wait a minute.
I thought he was gonna go for the pinfall there.
And now-- oh, he's looking to pin down Rowan with--
using the-- using the stairs.
One, two, three.
-And Big Show… -[bell rings]
-["Crank It Up" playing] -♪ Well, it's the Big Show ♪
[Lilián] Here is your winner, the Big Show!
[Michael] Guys, I'll tell you what.
That was-- that showed some respect the Big Show had for Erick Rowan
to actually use these stairs to pin Rowan to the mat.
[Jerry] That left no way for Big Red to kick out.
Those heavy steel stairs…
holding him down like a vice.
[JBL] Tough fight for Big Red.
But incredible performance by our giant,
the big family man, the Big Show.
[Michael] Yeah, I'll tell you,
you can't take anything away from Erick Rowan.
Tremendous matchup here tonight. But Big Show establishes dominance again.

Somehow, Big Show survived.

This is what turned things around right here.
Oh!
Chokeslam onto the steel stairs
and then the punch to the back of the head.

being done right in front of us.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us
for TLC and Chairs pay-per-view.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
We wanna send out a big thank you to Thousand Foot Krutch
for "Born This Way," which you are listening to right now
which is the official Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Stairs theme song.
And it's off the album Oxygen: Inhale which is available on iTunes.
[Michael] Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, it is a Tables match.
John Cena versus Seth Rollins.
And-- well, for John Cena, a loss tonight means
he's no longer number one contender
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
This story took on a life of its own
back in September at Night of Champions.
It is Brock Lesnar, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion
versus John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
[Jerry] Oh, he got him again!
[Michael] For the fourth time! Four AA's. Four AA's.
The Beast in trouble.
[Cena] I had Brock Lesnar beat until that closed-minded,
rubber suit wearin' jackass showed up.
[Michael] Oh, my God! Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins.
[Cena] I should be holding the WWE Championship right now.
[JBL] Seth Rollins cost John Cena the title.
[Seth] That's what happens when you disrespect me.
I am Mr. Money in the Bank.
I am the living, breathing,
undisputed future of the WWE, huh?
I was just so frustrated at Seth Rollins'
stupid decision to do what he did.
I understand what he was trying to do.
But he doesn't understand what he actually did.
None of us wanted to see John Cena
win the WWE world title again.
I'm not gonna stop.
I'll fight. I'll earn another rematch.
[Michael] AA through the table. John Cena
He's the number-one contender for the WWE world title.
John Cena gets what he wants.
Another opportunity at "The Beast" Brock Lesnar.
[Cena] Until then, every single thing that I do
is going to be a statement to Brock Lesnar.
So tonight, I'm cashing in my ass kicking
in a bank contract on Seth Rollins!
[cell phone chimes]
[Michael] John Cena, you and Seth Rollins will compete
one on one in a Tables match at TLC.
Furthermore, if you lose at TLC,
you will no longer be the number-one contender
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
[Jerry] Look at this. Seth Rollins attacking John Cena.
And John Cena now on the attack.
[Michael] And look at this. The former Corporate Kane.
-[Jerry] Oh, no! -[Michael] Chokeslam to Cena.
[Seth] It excites me that I could be the one to take away
every single thing that John Cena
has been working for.
[Michael] Rollins set for the table, John Cena fighting his way out.
[Jerry] Uh-oh!
[Michael] And Harper with a big right.
Big Show knocking out Cena.
You made it harder.
I do like this a lot.
I don't have to make Cena tap out.
I don't have to pin John's shoulders to the mat even though I already have.
All I have to do…
Bam!
Is put John Cena through a table again.
Everything that he worked for up in smoke.
And John, it's not just gonna be that table that's broken.
It's not just gonna be John's body that's broken.
It's gonna be his spirit.
He's gonna realize that I was the one, that I am the future,
and that everything he worked for…
is gone!
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, there is the advocate for the world--
WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar.
That is Paul Heyman.
[Jerry] You just stole his glory. You know he's gonna tell us that.
[bell rings]
[Lilián] Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Paul Heyman.
[crowd booing]
[Lilián] And the following is a Tables match!
Now, in this match, the first competitor
to put their opponent through a table will be declared the winner.
["The Second Coming" playing]
[Lilián] Introducing first, from Davenport, Iowa
weighing in at 217 pounds,
Mr. Money in the Bank,
Seth Rollins!
[Michael] Well, ladies and gentlemen, earlier on tonight
on the WWE Tables, Ladders, Chairs and Stairs Kickoff Show,
we learned that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar,
will defend his championship
next month at the Royal Rumble.
The question is, will it be against John Cena
or will it be against another man?
We're gonna find that out right now.
Seth Rollins does not have to pin or make Cena submit, King.
All he's gotta do is put him through a table.
[Jerry] You know, if it's-- if it's not John Cena,
it may take up to six weeks to find out who the new number-one contender is.
[Michael] Indeed. And you have to wonder what sort of role J&J Security,
Mercury, and Noble may play in this match tonight.
Because, remember, there is no disqualification
in a Tables match.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd booing]
[crowd chattering]
[JBL] There he is, the future,
the undisputed future of the WWE.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. There are some-- -[JBL] Seth Rollins.
[Jerry] Some people would dispute that.
-["The Time Is Now" playing] -[crowd cheering]

[Lilián] And his opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts,

[Michael] You know, John, John Cena has tasted disappointment
in a Tables match at this event before.
[JBL] Lost to Sheamus in a Tables match 2009.
[Jerry] John Cena is here!
[JBL] Lost the title.
John Cena 15-time world champion,
two-time Royal Rumble winner.
[Michael] But the thing John Cena wants the most,
he has to get through Seth Rollins tonight
to get a shot at Brock Lesnar,
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
#tablesmatch is what we ask you to use
on social media tonight to discuss this matchup.
I wanna talk about Seth Rollins calling himself
the future of WWE.
He's won a number of Slammy Awards last week.
Including being involved in the Faction of the Year,
the former Shield.
The double-cross of the Year
when he turned his back on his Shield brethren.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[JBL] That's two years in a row
the Faction of the Year went to The Shield.
Whose architect was Seth Rollins.
[Michael] So here we go.
Cena, Rollins, Tables match.
Put your opponent through a table and you win.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] Seth Rollins, the first NXT champion,
could be the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
[Michael] Inside his briefcase is a contract
that Rollins can cash in any time he wants…
[crowd chanting]
[Michael] …for a championship opportunity.
[bell ringing]
[JBL] You better believe there's gonna be an opportune time soon.
[Michael] And that's what Seth Rollins, John, was trying to do
at Night of Champions back in September.
He cost Cena the title and he Curb Stomped Mr. Lesnar.
-[speaking indistinctly] -[crowd chanting]
-Let's dance. -[Michael] And here we go.
Cena and Rollins.
John Cena has talked a lot, John, over the last couple of months
about Superstars stepping up, challenging for the spot here in WWE.
Rollins, with that opportunity tonight.
-And there is the first distraction… -[JBL] Yes.
[Michael] …from J&J Security that we were concerned about.
[JBL] That's why J&J are out here.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[JBL] Money well spent by Seth Rollins.
[Jerry] Those little jerks always making their presence known in the wrong way.
[Michael] It was in part thanks to J&J for the past couple of weeks
that Rollins has been able to put John Cena through a table.
[Seth] This is my time, John! This is my time!
-[JBL] Shield 2.0. -You understand me?
It's my time!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Rollins said he's gonna beat Cena so bad tonight.
Cena is gonna be forced to bring the Authority back.
Remember Mr. McMahon told John Cena,
"You're the only one that could ever bring Stephanie and Triple H back…
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Michael] …to WWE." And now--
[JBL] That clothesline had some malice behind it.
-[Jerry] Are you kidding me? -[JBL] Wow.
That just took Seth Rollins almost out of his boots.
[Jerry] Flipped him like a pancake.
Make a move right here.
Hey.
[Jerry] And Cena inviting the security.
[Michael] And first time tonight,
we see a table pulled out for this match.
[Jerry] Well, that's the only way it can end,
one of these two men go through-- hey, hey, wait.
[Michael] And look at Mercury and Noble
making sure Cena could not use the table.
And this is gonna be ridiculous if this keeps on tonight.
But I mean, what can the official do?
There's no disqualifications.
[Jerry] Well, this is an essence of three-on-one battle here for John now.
[JBL] Well, if John Cena had any friends, he'd have brought them with him.
Seth has great friends in J&J Security here watching his back.
[Jerry] Best friends money can buy.
[Michael] And J&J Security not only pulled the table out,
but they placed it back underneath the ring.
[JBL] That's how I always get friends.
[Michael and JBL speak indistinctly]
[Michael] And Cena…
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Down goes Rollins.
[man] Cena, you suck!
[Michael] You see Paul Heyman at ringside.
Who do you think he wants his client to face?
Do you think it's Cena or someone else?
[JBL] It's hard to say.
-But John Cena was a different-- -[Michael] Oh, and again.
[Jerry] Oh.
A little tug of war now.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] John Cena--
-[JBL] Oh. -[crowd cheering]
John Cena was a different John Cena than we saw at SummerSlam against Brock.
And it looked like he had Brock Lesnar beat…
-[Michael] Yeah, that at Night of-- -[JBL] …before Seth Rollins hit the ring.
[Michael] At Night of Champions, John is referring to.
And now Rollins. Again, J&J doing their job,
providing the distraction, allowing Rollins to take back over.
[JBL] But in turn, Seth Rollins had just Curb Stomped Brock Lesnar.
He was about to cash in.
He's about to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
And John Cena returned the favor
-and stomped Seth Rollins. -[crowd chanting]
[Michael] Yeah, I bet Lesnar hasn't forgotten about Rollins
kicking him in the head either, right?
[crowd chanting]
[JBL] I don't think Brock Lesnar forgets anything.
[Michael] And Cena with a right hand.
And back to his feet comes John Cena, the 15-time world champion.
-And now -[Jerry] Hey, wait, wait, wait.
[Michael] Noble and Mercury getting rid of the table, and now assaulting Cena.
-And this is getting ridiculous now. -[Jerry] Yes, it is.
I mean, interfering from outside the ring is one thing.
But just blatantly climbing into the ring
-and becoming part of the match-- -[JBL] Blatantly? It's all legal.
-[Jerry] Yeah, blatantly. -[JBL] It's legal.
[Michael] How is John Cena
gonna be able to ever put Rollins through a table
if J&J keeps tossing the table out of the ring?
[JBL] You wonder how Seth Rollins beat the Faction of the Year 2013-2014,
how he built them?
He built them through his brains.
-He had this all planned. -[Michael] Uh-oh.
I think Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns would think twice
about saying that Rollins built them.
[Jerry] John Cena just got his brain scrambled by Seth Rollins.
[JBL] Seth Rollins simply has a better plan.
He came out here with J&J, it's all legal.
John Cena came out here with his-- all this bravado
and his great big arms thinking it's gonna be okay.
Maybe it's not gonna be okay.
Maybe he loses that number-one contendership.
Maybe the dreams of Brock Lesnar go up in smoke or through a table.
[Michael] So what are Mercury and Noble gonna do
now that Rollins entered the table into the ring?
[Jerry] Oh, that's fine with them, I'm sure.
[JBL] Of course, it is.
[Michael] It's sort of ironic if Rollins went through
a table that he set up, right?
[JBL] I'm sure you would love that being the biased commentator that you are.
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!
[crowd chanting] Cena, sucks!
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!
[crowd chanting] Cena, sucks!
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!
[crowd chanting] Cena, sucks!
[Michael] Tremendous reaction to this matchup tonight.
John Cena draws more emotion than anyone here in WWE.
Rollins fired up tonight as well.
[JBL] Everyone in every arena has some opinion of John Cena.
He is just that big of a star.
Some like him. Some don't.
But everyone has an opinion.
[Jerry] And the great thing about John Cena
is he feeds off of both of those opinions.
Like him or not.
[JBL] Whether you like him or you don't,
you have to respect the 15-time world champion.
[Michael] WWE fans extremely active on Twitter tonight.
-I like that. This is insanity. -[Jerry] Yeah.
[Michael] It has been so far and there's still plenty more to come.
[JBL] God, these people on twitter can get mad all they want.
Seth Rollins has a better plan than John Cena.
[Michael] I think they are actually referring to the pay-per-view in general,
-but, nonetheless. -[crowd chanting] Let's go, Rollins!
And here we go now.
Cena, shoulder tackle.
Down goes Rollins.
Vintage John Cena here.
[Jerry] Whoa. Oh!
John Cena, raising that hand
and showing that "You can't see me"
and dropping a big Five Knuckle Shuffle.
[Michael] Oh, come on now! Again, J&J Security!
-This is a three-on-one match. -[Jerry] It is.
[Michael] Why don't they just throw Cena through the table, too,
-while they're at it? -[JBL] I'm sure they will.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Again, in this matchup, the only way you win
is to put your opponent through a table.
Hence the reason there's no disqualification here.
There are no count-outs, pinfall, submissions.
[Jerry] Come on, ref. Could you at least ask them
to get out of the ring?
[Michael] Yeah, I'm sure they'll listen.
-And now just like this… -[JBL] Shield 2.0.
[Michael] Just like they did to John Cena…
-[JBL] John Cena about to-- -[Michael] …the last couple of weeks.
[Michael] Almost déjà vu for Cena.
But Cena able to fight out of it.
[Michael] And now a clubbing blow to the back of the head of Noble.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] That's one way for Cena to get rid of J&J.
Beat the hell out of them.
[man] Come on, Seth.
[crowd cheering]
-[Michael] John? -[JBL] Yeah, I'm here.
-[Jerry] It's like a ladder jungle. -[Michael] Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
[JBL] This isn't gonna end well for somebody.
-[Jerry shrieks] Oh! -[JBL laughs]
-[Jerry] And we got-- -[Michael] J&J Security
about to go behind bars.
[JBL] I have been on the receiving end of some of this with John Cena.
-[crowd cheering] -[JBL] He is extremely creative.
[Jerry] We got tables, ladders, chairs, and stairs
and John Cena just added more metal to the equation.
-[JBL] Uh-oh. -[Michael] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-[JBL] This isn't good on Jamie Noble. -[Michael] Oh, no!
[Noble screams]
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] He'll have some grill marks on his back tonight.
[JBL] Noble gonna be gone. May be hurt.
[Michael] Oh, Noble may be down and out.
But there's still Mercury and, of course, Rollins.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Now, Joey Mercury assaulting Cena.
Completely legal under the rules of this matchup.
[JBL] Joey Mercury, a three-time WWE Tag Team Champion.
-[Michael] Oh. -[Jerry] Man.
[JBL] Taking it to John Cena.
[man] You suck, Cena.
[Michael] And this is a crime.
[JBL] If it's not legal, why is it a crime?
[Michael] It is legal.
[JBL] If it is legal, why is it a crime then?
-Why is it a crime? It's not a crime. -[Jerry] Come on, JBL.
-You know that just because there's… -[Michael] You're right.
[Jerry] …no disqualification, this is not what that was intended to allow.
[Michael] Again, on the contract, it says a Tables match
between John Cena and Seth Rollins, not with J&J.
-[JBL] Oh, no. -[Michael] No, no. No, no, no, no!
-[JBL] Oh, this could be it. -[Michael] Oh, my God!
Cena ducks underneath and a table in half.
[JBL] Ow.
-[Jerry] Hey, hey, hey. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And now Rollins…
-[Jerry] See ya, Seth. -[JBL] What a right hand.
[Michael] Nobles already been taken out.
-[Michael] Mercury may be next. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Again, the timekeeper
has gotta find another place to sit tonight.
And now it's back down to Cena and Rollins.
And this is how Cena wants it.
And now Seth Rollins is gonna have to do it alone.
[Jerry] Oh, no!
[JBL] Oh!
-[man] Come on, Cena. -[crowd clamoring]
[man] Let's go, Cena.
[Michael] Man.
-Watch this. -[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] A lot of force behind that impact.
And now, a table conveniently set up at ringside.
[Michael] Again, Rollins able to put Cena through that table, it's over, folks.
-[JBL] And John Cena-- -[Michael] And so are Cena's hopes
at a WWE world title opportunity.
[Jerry] The table doesn't have to be inside the ring, right?
-[Michael] No. -[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] Why does he need two tables?
[crowd chanting]
[JBL] You can call it emphasis.
He wants to put an exclamation point on the fact…
of putting John Cena through a table.
Two tables.
What's better than one table?
Two tables.
[Jerry] So nice, he's gonna do it to you twice.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Oh, no.
John Cena is in trouble.
-Seth Rollins two tables placed outside. -[JBL] This isn't gonna end well.
Kiss Brock Lesnar goodbye, John.
[Michael] Cena blocks again.
And now counters.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Seth Rollins brought back inside the ring,
courtesy of a suplex from John Cena.
Meanwhile, guys, he's standing right here in front of us,
Paul Heyman looks to be a little tad nervous.
[JBL] Well, Heyman is just interested to see if Brock Lesnar
is gonna indeed face John Cena at the Royal Rumble
or if it's gonna be somebody else, could it be Seth Rollins even.
[Michael] Uh-oh. Look out. Rollins.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] That was a great counter by Rollins.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Cena's hurt and Rollins back to his feet.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] The dreams of John Cena's 16th World Championship
and getting back to Brock Lesnar could end right here.
[Michael] And Rollins is looking to send Cena across the ring
into that table that's set up in the corner.
And again Cena blocks.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] And this time
Rollins launched over the top rope and Cena buys himself some valuable time.
-[crowd cheering] -[man] Stand, Cena.
[Jerry] Rollins landed right at the feet of Paul Heyman here.
Looks like he's falling off a cliff.
-Look at this. Oh! -[JBL] How far down that is,
straight down, too.
Another table sent into the ring by Cena.
-Oh, watch out! -With the briefcase.
Rollins had the Money in the Bank briefcase
and used it to his advantage.
[Jerry] Very proud of himself right now.
-He's so resourceful. -[JBL] Again, guys, it's all legal.
[Michael] Yeah. No disqualifications in this matchup.
And now, Seth Rollins wearing out Cena
-with the briefcase. -[JBL] I've said it many times.
John Cena has a way of winning big matches.
But he may have met his match tonight in Seth Rollins.
[crowd booing]
-[Michael] Seth Rollins-- -[JBL] There is your
Mr. Money in the Bank.
[Michael] Rollins sent out a tweet earlier today
that said there's a reason he's held down the mountaintop for this long,
talking about Cena.
And there's a reason they call me the future.
Something's gotta give tonight.
[JBL] Not just the future, the undisputed future of the WWE,
Seth Rollins.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] The problem is, wearing him out with that briefcase is one thing.
Getting John Cena up and through a table is another.
[Jerry] Yeah, you're right about that.
John Cena flat on his back.
[JBL] Cena knows it. He's been in these matches before.
There's no danger of getting pinned or having to tap out.
The only way you lose is…
-[Jerry] Yeah, yeah. -[JBL] …you go through that table.
[Michael] And Rollins in his mind,
-this one's over. -Your time is up, John.
-[JBL] Yeah, he's showboating now. -Your time is up!
My time is now.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Yeah.
[JBL] Now, it goes from showboating to mocking.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Cena! AA time!
-[Jerry] Get him. -[Michael] Can he put Rollins
through the table with the AA. Rollins hanging on,
and the referee knocked down.
The official knocked down.
John Cena, AA, Rollins lands on his feet.
Oh, my lord. How close was that? Cena, Cena.
-[JBL] Right in the side of the head. -[Michael] Oh, no. Cena is on the table.
Cena is on the table.
All Rollins has gotta do is put Cena through the table here.
[JBL] Curb Stomp, Curb Stomp!
-Look at this! -[Jerry] Get up, John.
[JBL] Get your DVRs out.
-[Jerry] Get up, John. -[Michael] Official's down.
Cena-- and John Cena back to his feet.
[Jerry] What a haymaker that landed by John Cena.
[Michael] Oh, no. Not from the second rope.
[JBL] Oh, no, look at this.
[Michael] From the second rope for John Cena.
AA through the table!
Cena wins! Cena wins! Cena wins!
-[Jerry] Woo, that's it. -[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh, wait a minute. The official never saw it happen.
And there's J&J. The official is down. Mercury and Noble are back.
And now J&J are getting rid of the evidence.
They're cleaning up the evidence.
[JBL] This is what good security does.
This is why Seth Rollins is known as The Architect.
[Michael] They're covering up the evidence.
[Jerry] Man, oh, man.
[Michael] Cena put Rollins through a table and won this match.
[Jerry] They're cleaning up the crime scene.
[JBL] J&J have done that before.
[Jerry] All the evidence is gone.
[Michael] John Cena won this match.
[JBL] No, he didn't. That's why it keeps going.
[Michael] You know damn well, John, he put the man through a table.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] I know it.
Everybody else knows it. The referee doesn't know it.
The match is still going, Michael!
Referee's decision is final.
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. -[Michael] He can't make a decision.
He's knocked out.
[JBL] Really, genius? That's the point.
[Jerry] These security guards just keep working over John Cena.
[JBL] If The Authority were here, they could make a decision.
[Michael] Oh, yeah. I'm sure they'd rule in Cena's favor.
[JBL] But all you yay-hoos, rah-rah cheerleaders are so happy
we're a ship without a captain right now.
This is what happens.
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Cena!
[Michael] Rollins looking to put Cena through a table now.
The problem is the official is not back in this match yet.
He's still down and out, and the doctor is--
-[JBL] Shield 2.0. -[Jerry] Oh, boy.
-[JBL] Here we go. -[Michael] John Cena up top.
Look at him fight back. Look at Cena fight back.
There goes Rollins.
And now Mercury and Noble are in the line of fire.
[Jerry] Oh.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] No way!
-[Jerry] What? -[Michael] No way!
[JBL] Look at the strength of John Cena.
[Michael] Oh, my God.
[JBL] We've got a couple of mall cops about to go through a table.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] AA through the table!
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Michael] The power and strength of Cena!
[JBL] Unbelievable!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] They just had their badges revoked.
[JBL laughs] Wow.
Barney, give back the bullet.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] And now Rollins…
out on the apron now.
Remember those-- Oh, Cena now out there as well.
And do you see those tables set up earlier tonight by Seth Rollins.
Very ominous sight just a few feet away from Cena and Seth.
[JBL] This is dangerous.
-[Michael] Cena hanging on. -[JBL] Rollins trying to hip toss Cena.
[Michael] Oh, my God! Both men went through a table.
-[bell ringing] -[JBL] And the referee saw it!
Mike Chioda is the referee, saw it.
[Jerry] Yeah, but who--
[Michael] What did he see? Both men went through the table.
[crowd clamoring]
And I think it's dawning on the ref now that both men went through. And…
[man] Cena, are you okay? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
[woman] John! John!
[Jerry] What's he saying?
We've got more officials coming.
Let's watch this, slow things down a little bit here and see who--
[JBL] So who won?
[Jerry] Does one go through before the other or-- look at this.
See, that's pretty much a dead heat.
[Michael] Yeah. They hit at the same time.
Looked like both their hips hit at the same time,
going through the table.
Get in the middle, guys. Get in the middle.
[Michael] Now, you got a couple of other officials out here
conferring about this. And…
watch this again.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] I don't-- I don't think you can call a winner there.
I don't think one went through
-before the other. -[bell ringing]
[JBL] I think you're right, King.
See there-- there's no way you can call that.
[bell ringing]
[Michael] Well, somebody better make some sort of decision here.
[JBL] Are we-- Are we going to replay here?
[Michael] I don't think so. The officials are in the ring conferring.
-[crowd chanting] Cena! -[JBL] Well, somebody's gotta make a call.
[Jerry] Yeah. All three of these guys could have seen it differently.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] There you go.
-John Cena! -[JBL] Oh, Chad--
-[Jerry] The winner! -[JBL] Chad Patton
wasn't even the referee, neither was John Cone.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. -[crowd cheering]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd clamoring]
This match is going to be restarted, okay?
-[Jerry] Chioda just… -Tell them this match must restart.
-[Jerry] I think nullified both-- -Ladies and gentlemen,
the referee cannot determine who went through the table first.
Therefore, he is restarting the match.
-[Jerry] Whoa! -[JBL] That's a great call, Mike Chioda.
-[Michael] I agree. -[JBL] That is a great call
by senior official Chioda.
[Michael] A wonderful call by the official.
Seth Rollins on the attack. Look out. Seth Rollins.
-Rollins through the second rope. -[JBL] The WWE Universe--
-Oh, my goodness. -[Michael] Lands right on Cena.
He landed right on Cena.
Yeah, restarting this match may not work in the favor of John Cena.
[Michael] Oh, look out, guys.
Rollins is just tearing stuff apart here.
Rollins ripping apart our table.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Michael] Oh, my God. -[Jerry] Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-Seth-- -The table didn't break.
The table did not break.
You all right, Cole?
[Jerry] The table survived.
Seth Rollins is down.
So is Michael Cole and JBL's headset.
But the table did not break,
so there's no-- this match continues.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] John Cena under that ring, going after another table.
[crowd clamoring]

["The Time Is Now" continues]
Well, ladies and gentlemen, six weeks from tonight,
the Royal Rumble, January 25th on the WWE Network.
And we now know that Brock Lesnar
is gonna defend the WWE world title against John Cena.
It is on. And I can't wait.
-Neither can John Cena. -Hey, as crazy as it sounds
with all the carnage we just saw, the easy part's over.
-Now, Cena has Brock. -[laughs]
The easy part?
What an incredible match that was.
But King, they had some match at SummerSlam
where Brock Lesnar dominated.
At Night of Champions, everyone thought John Cena
had the championship won before Seth Rollins got involved.
And now Lesnar, Cena meet again at the Royal Rumble for the championship.
And let's not forget what the Royal Rumble is all about
because it begins the road to the most important night of the year.
-It begins the Road to WrestleMania. -WrestleMania, baby.
You're right about that.
And we're gonna be in the fast lane, I can assure you.
Does Big Match John have another miracle in him?
-We're gonna find out. -I have never seen a guy
have more better knack for winning big matches.
But think about this. Brock Lesnar's had--
been out-- What is that? Four months now, to get ready.
-That's right. -And he's gonna have
a full month and a half to prepare for John Cena.
There is nothing like a battle-hardened competitor
like John Cena is right now.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, before the Table, Ladders, Chairs,
and Stairs event here tonight,
we had our kickoff show and a great matchup
between the team of Gold and Stardust and New Day
represented by Big E and Kofi Kingston.
Kofi makes the tag there.
[Jerry] Kofi makes the tag, Goldust didn't see it nor did Stardust.
Look at Big E, he's about to plant Stardust
along with the help of Kofi Kingston.
Watch this.
Mmm. Bang.
Stardust was down.
Big E thought he should cover him, but Big E was not the legal man.
Kofi was legal.
Got the pin, one, two, three.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] And New Day makes it a great day.
[Michael] And, you know, as part of the kickoff show,
we have an all-star panel.
And they talked all about the pay-per-view tonight,
all about this matchup.
Let's join our own Renee Young with more.
Talk about way to expect the unexpected.
I am here with the TLC kickoff panel.
Please welcome "The Analyst" Alex Riley.
And what can I say? This pay-per-view so far
has been exactly as advertised, and that's a human Demolition Derby.
Cleveland rocks at TLC, baby.
And we have WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T.
Yeah, I had the pleasure of announcing Roman Reigns
Superstar of the Year on Monday night.
-And look what happened. -[Alex] Big return.
Roman Reigns is back in full.
-And let me you with a vengeance, baby. -What a shock.
-Did you know? Did you know? -Of course I did.
-You knew. [laughs] -Of course I did.
What a monumental night we've had so far.
We have a new Intercontinental Champion in Dolph Ziggler.
We also saw history tonight, our first-ever Steel Steps match.
Yeah, like you said, WWE made history.
And I think so did Big Show and Erick Rowan.
I mean, they put their bodies on the line tonight
like nothing I've ever seen before.
At the end, Big Show needs to use the actual stairs to pin Rowan.
So, what an effort out of Erick Rowan.
And hey, that's not the last you're gonna see of that man.
I cannot say enough about Dolph Ziggler.
I mean, the year that this kid is having,
to go out there and become Intercontinental Champion
for the fourth time, gotta give it up for Dolph Ziggler.
-That's my guy. That's my guy. -And Shawn Michaels's boots he had on too.
-That was a nice detail. -[Renee] We've gotta talk
about what we just saw.
We now know that John Cena will be facing Brock Lesnar
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble.
I mean, that's huge.
Well, I think Michael Cole made a great point.
And Brock Lesnar has had four months to wait and prepare for this match
while John Cena has been there every night.
Well, we go from one championship to moving on to the Divas Championship.
Let's head on backstage to Byron Saxton.
Please welcome, alongside her sister Brie,
the WWE Divas Champion,
Nikki Bella.
What's up, Byron?
Nikki, coming up next,
you put your championship on the line against AJ Lee.
You know, Byron, I don't have a lot of things to say about AJ.
To be honest, I am so sick of talking about her.
AJ is just jealous of me because I have things--
well, I have a lot of things that she doesn't.
And that's including the Divas Championship.
On a side note, Brie, after everything Nikki has put you through this year--
Oh, I am so sick and tired of people casting judgment on my sister and me.
-Uh-hmm. -Yes, we've had our problems.
-But blood is thicker than water. -That's right, sister.
And nothing, certainly not some annoying little phony like AJ Lee,
will ever come between that.
Ever.

[JBL] That was AJ's second Slammy for Diva of the Year.
She also won it in 2012.
[Michael] Interesting Brie Bella, saying blood is thicker than water,
hence the reason that she's back with her sister
despite the fact that she had to be Nikki's personal assistant for a month.
-[JBL] That's true. -[Jerry] What about--
what about what Nikki said, that she's got a--
she does have a couple of things that AJ doesn't have?
The Divas title and a twin sister.
One…
[Michael] Nikki Bella, uh, warming up.
Four, better be back inside.
[Jerry] She didn't do that before the match in the locker room?
[JBL] Sometimes, you get out here
and you're not as loose as you thought you were.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[grunts]
[Michael] And Nikki sent out of the ring by AJ Lee.
[crowd clamoring]
Hey, come on, AJ.
[JBL] She called herself a two-time Diva Champion.
[Michael] And look at AJ, first, taking out Brie and now taking out Nikki.
AJ Lee, we had her on commentary Friday night on SmackDown, John.
She realizes the odds she faces tonight with Brie hanging out at ringside.
But she didn't seem too concerned about it.
[JBL] She didn't seem concerned about it at all.
In fact she told us that she was gonna end up holding the Divas title longer
than Moolah held the Women's title.
-[Jerry] There's AJ. -[Michael] Oh.
[Jerry] I think ice water runs through her veins.
[Michael] Nikki Bella as well. Here's the cover on AJ.
Is it enough to put her away?
And a kickout by AJ Lee.
[JBL] AJ Lee the longest Divas Title Champion,
held up that title for 295 days.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Jerry] Cover. -One, two…
[Michael] And-- oh, and a kickout by AJ.
Nikki Bella, extremely confident.
Oh, nice suplex to AJ Lee.
[Jerry] You can just tell from the expression on Nikki's face
that she is going about serious business here tonight.
[Michael] I'm gonna show you about the-- early on about the war of words
that AJ and The Bellas have had.
Hey, back it off. Let's go.
[Jerry] Nikki's got one thing on her mind and that's hanging on to that Divas title.
Oh, my goodness. Wow.
-Wait a minute. -[Michael] Look at this.
Lord, AJ Lee wrapped around that post.
-[Jerry] She'll break her in half. -Let's go. Back it off!
[JBL] I'd go see Dr. Andrews if that happened to me.
You gotta listen up, Nikki.
[Michael] Gotta stretch it out.
Here's the cover.
Hooks the leg on AJ, and a kickout.
AJ Looking to become a four-time Divas Champion.
Longest reigning Divas Champion in history,
held the title for nearly 300 days.
[JBL] You've said that, 295 days.
[crowd clamoring]
Come on, AJ, huh?
[Michael] Continuing to work the lower back of AJ Lee.
[Jerry] What about her shoulders?
-[crowd clamoring] -[JBL] Oh.
How would a human body actually bent like that?
[Jerry] She's bendy.
Come on, AJ, huh?
[Michael] AJ trying to fight out.
[Jerry] Yeah, making her way back up to her feet.
Oh, I spoke too soon.
-This will be your champion. -[JBL] Nikki Bella so far
in complete control of this match.
[Jerry] She's not above grabbing a handful of AJ's hair
to keep control here.
[JBL] It's just like a free handhold.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Cover again by Nikki. Is it enough to put AJ away?
And a kickout at two.
Brie Bella lurking at ringside.
Come on, Nikki.
[JBL] You call that lurking? She's out here supporting her twin sister.
That's what twins should do.
[Jerry] Yeah, I gotta agree with JBL there. I wouldn't call that lurking.
[Michael] As opposed to regular siblings, right?
-[Jerry] I wouldn't call that lurking. -[JBL] That's what anybody should do,
especially twins or anybody else.
They're out here supporting. The twins have a unique bond.
I don't understand. I'm not a twin.
-Thank God you're not, Michael. -Come on, AJ.
Come on, AJ, huh?
-Ask her to quit. -You're gonna quit?
[Michael] Nikki has just been punishing AJ since the get-go here.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Jerry] AJ-- -[JBL] You're right, Michael.
[Jerry] AJ's gotta get to her feet.
[JBL] AJ's just not been able to mount any offense
of any consistency so far.
-[Michael] AJ trying to do that here! -[JBL] Here we go.
What do you say, Nikki?
-[Michael] And look at this. -[Jerry] You know what this is.
[Michael] AJ Lee is trying to work in position for the full Black Widow.
She hasn't quite been able to do that yet.
-Submission maneuver, though, and-- -[Jerry] There you go.
[Michael] Oh, driving AJ into the corner.
-[Jerry] That was close. -[JBL] AJ is going for the one thing
she knew could win the match.
[Jerry] I think Nikki realized-- well, wait a minute.
-Wait a minute. -[Michael] AJ, look at this.
Shoulders down for the Divas Championship
and a kickout at two.
And now AJ-- Oh, both Divas down middle of the ring.
Turning point of the match perhaps.
-[Jerry] The clothesline and-- -Come on, Nikki.
Come on.
-Just get up, Nikki. -[JBL] AJ should just find--
gotta find a way to mount some offense here.
[Michael] Could this-- could this be her opportunity?
[JBL] It's the best one she's had so far.
[Brie] Come on, Nikki.
[Michael] Nikki slowly back to her feet, AJ Lee as well.
[Brie] Come on, Nikki.
[Michael] AJ, you see that lower back.
-And look at AJ. -[Jerry] Oh!

[JBL] AJ knows that Black Widow will win her
her fourth Divas Championship…
-[Michael] Yeah. She-- -[JBL] …if she can just lock it on.
[Michael] Nice neckbreaker.
Quickly to the cover for the Divas title. Hook of the leg and a kickout.

AJ actually got Nikki to tap out to it a couple of weeks ago.

[Jerry] AJ hanging in there.
[JBL] Nikki Bella has dominated this championship match,
but she has not found a way yet to put AJ Lee away.
[Michael] Well, we know about the heart and resilience of AJ,
but this may be a matter of time here.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Notice the power of Nikki Bella.
-[Jerry] Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. -[Michael] Oh, and AJ countered.
Great counter by AJ to try to win the Divas Championship right here.
Both her legs hooked and a kickout.

[Jerry] Kane did some damage to Ryback.
That one did some damage to Kane.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[grunts]
[Michael] And Ryback countered.
Now The Big Guy with the right hand.
And now Kane with one of his own. Uh-oh. Look at this.
-[Jerry] Oh, no. The Big-- -[Michael] Oh, man.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Now wraps the arm and Ryback has to power out.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Well, I don't know how many more of those
Ryback will be able to power out of.
[Michael] Kane has dominated this matchup.
Something to prove here tonight.
[JBL] He seems to be enjoying this.
[Jerry] Yeah. Like I said, he's just taking his time.
Another day at the office for The Monster.
-Uh-oh. -[Michael] Ryback…
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] …belly to belly.
That creates a little separation, gonna allow Ryback now to maybe regroup.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
Ryback now with the steel chair.
And Ryback eats it.
[crowd clamoring]
-[grunts] -[Michael] Oh. Did you hear that?
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[JBL] That had a little animosity behind it.
Attaboy, Kane. Go to town.
[Michael] Now Kane wearing out Ryback with the steel chair.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Watch out.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Just like hammering in a tent stake.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] I guess he wore that chair out.
-He had to bring in one, two… -[Jerry] There's about three
or four of them have been just completely destroyed.
[Michael] …three.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] How many is he gonna throw?
[JBL] Is he throwing up an orchestra?
[Michael] As many as he wants.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Look at Kane, he's putting all these chairs now.
[JBL] He actually turned one down and picked up another one
[Michael] Right, another one.
[JBL] like it wasn't a good enough chair.
[Jerry] Right. Too soft.
[Michael] I'm sure he's well versed.
[JBL chuckles] Apparently, Kane is.
-[crowd clamoring] -[breathing heavily]
[Michael] Electric here in this building.
[JBL] All for Ryback to go through.
[Michael] Oh, Ryback countered.
-[grunting] -[Michael] And now there goes Kane.
[Jerry] Ow, ow.
[crowd clamoring]
[panting]
[Jerry] Man.
That'll have you sitting funny for a while.
[crowd chanting] Feed me more!
Feed me more!
[Michael] Oh, man.
The "feed me more" chants now driving Ryback on and that chair.
That chair has been all over the place.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
Faster and faster.
[screams]
It's feeding time.
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[groaning]
[crowd chanting] Feed me more!
Feed me more!
Feed me more
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] Oh.
-[JBL chuckles] -[Jerry] Whoa.
[JBL] The old culinary expert with feed me more…
[Michael] Ryback was going for the Meathook.
-[JBL] …got hit by a chair. -[Michael] Went for Meathook.
-There's the chokeslam. -[JBL] Good night, Big Guy.
-[Michael] Here's the cover. -One, two…
[Michael] And Ryback kicked out.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] You gotta watch this.
[Jerry] Yeah. Incoming.
-Ryback gets-- -[JBL laughs]
-[Michael] Oh, my God. -[Jerry] Ryback gets fed a fast ball.
[JBL] That was fun to watch.
Right in the face.
[Michael] Ryback was…
-[JBL] That was the highlight. -[Jerry speaks indistinctly]
[Michael] …going for the big Meathook.
[JBL] Looked like Nolan Ryan back in the day with the old bow tie.
[Jerry] Except that was a bean ball.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] That's what he called his bean ball, King.
[Jerry] Oh.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
Just waiting for The Big Guy to get up.
And The Big Guy able to counter that move.
-Oh! -[Michael] And there's the Meathook.
[Michael] Uh-oh.
-Going for a Shell Shocked. -[JBL] That is strength--
[Michael] He's got 305 pounds up and down.
[Jerry] Got him.
One, two, three.
-[bell ringing] -[Michael] Ryback beats Kane
in a Chairs match.
[Lilián] Here is your winner, Ryback.
["Meat On The Table" playing]
[Jerry] Ironic that this was a Chairs match
because neither one of these guys
will be able to sit comfortably for a week.
[JBL] That is the truth.
Ryback just beat the two-time world champion, Kane.
♪ Meat on the table, yeah, That's what you are ♪
Feed me more.
[Michael] And a big victory for Ryback here tonight.

[Eden] The following contest is for the United States Championship.
Introducing first, accompanied by "The Ravishing Russian" Lana,
now residing in Moscow, weighing at 138 kilos,
he's the recipient of the Gold Star medal,
hero to the Russian Federation
and the United States Champion,
Rusev.
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen, Rusev set to defend his United States Championship.
You just saw that beginning tomorrow night,
it's WWE Week on the USA Network.
And look who the special, well, guest running things is gonna be tomorrow night.
[Jerry] I love it. Raw is gonna be Jericho.

[Jerry] Rusev.
We gotta quit making fun of President Putin's name.
The Brown's head coach is named Pettine.
[JBL] You may not be here tomorrow.
[Jerry chuckles]
[crowd booing]
[speaking Russian]
[in English] The prices of oil are dropping down--
["Get on Your Knees" playing]
-[JBL] Attaboy, Jack Swagger. -[speaking Russian]
-[laughter] -[Lana speaking Russian]
[Michael] And Jack Swagger…
[Eden] The challenger from Perry, Oklahoma,
weighing at 275 pounds,
Jack Swagger.
[Jerry] Well, you know how women love to have the last word.
Unfortunately, Jack Swagger didn't allow Lana to get it tonight.
[Michael] Well, guys, Jack Swagger has a lot to be upset about.
Rusev in an attack
a couple of weeks ago in the locker room area
on Jack Swagger's mentor, Zeb Colter.
Zeb Colter with a broken leg that required surgery.
He's out indefinitely.
So Jack Swagger, John, driven by emotion here tonight.
[JBL] Not only defending his country.
Defending the honor of his mentor, Zeb Colter.
-[bell ringing] -[JBL] Get well, Zeb.
[Michael] And here we go.
Swagger and Rusev for the United States Championship.
Rusev yet to be pinned or submitted here in WWE.
[JBL] That ankle that Jack Swagger put in the Patriot Lock is still hurting Rusev.
-He slammed him with that leg-- -[Jerry] Look like Rusev landed
right on it there.
[JBL] I think that was done on purpose by Jack Swagger.
It's time to bring him. Let's go. Bring him back here.
[Jerry] Well, the only thing harder than that ring apron is that steel ring post.
I think that's where Jack Swagger tends to take Rusev's ankle.
[JBL] Yeah, Swagger had said like,
"You hurt Zeb Colter's leg, I'm gonna break your ankle."
[Michael] And Swagger going right after the bad ankle now.
Gonna set it up for the Patriot Lock like John mentioned.
And Rusev gonna try to take a breather.
And Jack Swagger is driven here tonight.
Rusev trying to play keep-away.
[crowd chanting] USA! USA!
-[Jerry] I don't blame him. -[Michael] As the USA chants.
[Jerry] Missed with that big-- Oh.
[JBL] Wow. That is a clothesline.
Attaboy, Jack.
You can't get much more Americana than Jack Swagger.
[Jerry] Look at Rusev, cannot even stay on his feet
after that ankle attack.
[JBL] Married to a supermodel. He eats at Cracker Barrel.
Everybody wants to be Jack when they grow up.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd] We the People.
[Michael] Look at Rusev.
Rusev has barely moved.
Swagger with the Swagger Bomb and Rusev able to move out of the way.
[Jerry] Yeah. Barely moved out of the way of that though.
[Michael] And now Rusev got caught by Swagger.
[JBL] Rusev has never tapped out.
He's never been pinned.
-[Michael] Patriot Lock. -[JBL] This could be the first time.
[Michael] Rusev, nice move.
[Jerry] Oh, he's got the Rusev--
-[Michael] And just like that. -[Jerry] And now Jack…
-[Michael] Going for the Accolade. -[JBL] Wow.
[Michael] Swagger trying to fight out of it.
[JBL] Clubbing blows to Jack Swagger's head.
[Michael] Yeah, but Swagger not allowing to lock it in quite yet.
Swagger trying to make his way to the bottom rope here.
[JBL] Come on, Jack.
[Michael] Jack with those long arms, not quite able to get to that bottom rope.
And he does.
[JBL] Jack, the-- Jack, the former US Champion himself,
wants to be the next US Champion.
[Michael] Yeah, but that took a lot out of Swagger
just to make it to the bottom rope.
Just to make it to the bottom rope and now Rusev back center of the ring.
Accolade locked in.
[Michael] What's Swagger gonna do here?
[Jerry] I don't think Jack is gonna be able to get out of this.
[JBL] Bad news
on this tough All-American from Oklahoma.
[Michael] Yeah, Jack Swagger hanging in there.
He hasn't tapped out but Swagger is fading.
Jack Swagger is fading.
[Jerry] Rusev has this locked in.
He could hold Swagger all night.
[Michael] Jack Swagger may be out.
-[Jerry] I think you're right. -[Michael] Swagger may be out.
[JBL] The one thing that can help Rusev won-- win, Rusev did it.
[referee speaking indistinctly] What do you say, huh?
[Michael] Swagger has not moved.
[JBL] Swagger had Rusev on the ropes.
-[Jerry] Enough. Come on. -[Michael] Wait a minute.
[Jerry] Yeah, he's not gonna be able to get up.
[Michael] No, wait a minute.
-Swagger is still in this. -[Jerry] Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
[Michael] Swagger showing some signs of life.
-[Jerry] You gotta be kidding me. -[Michael] Jack Swagger.
-[Jerry] I thought he was out. -[Michael] Back to his knees.
Swagger is fighting out of the Accolade.
[Jerry] Swagger has some strength left somehow.
[Michael] Can he somehow get up on his feet?
[JBL] No way.
[Michael] Swagger-- oh, no.
-Oh, wait a minute. Swagger, Swagger. -[Jerry] Hey.
[Michael] Picked the ankle. Patriot Lock.
[JBL] Jack said he's going to break Rusev's ankle.
-Here it is. -[Michael] Patriot Lock locked in.
-[JBL] Snap it in half, Jack. -[Michael] Patriot Lock.
[JBL] Come on.
Tap, Russian, tap.
[Jerry] Look at the pain on Rusev's face.
-He's about to tap. -[JBL] For the first time ever,
Rusev is gonna be beat by either pinfall or submission.
[Michael] Rusev trying to crawl to the bottom rope,
trying to kick his way out of this.
Right to the face of Swagger and finally creates separation.
[Jerry] And those big feet right into the face of Jack Swagger.
Every one found their mark.
[JBL] Swagger sat on that ankle like for a long time.
-[Michael] Oh. -[Jerry] Goodness.
-[JBL] Oh. -[Ayers] Come back in the ring, let's go.
One…
-[Michael] Swagger may be out cold. -…two…
[Michael] He may even have-- May have been knocked out by that kick.
…three…
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] That's the only thing that saved Rusev.
[Michael] Watch this.
-[Jerry] You can hear this impact. -[Ayers] …six…
-[Michael] Oh. -[JBL] That is right on the button.
-[Jerry] Swagger's head snapped back. -…eight…
-[JBL] Come on, Jack. -…nine…
[Michael] Oh.
[JBL] He walked right into another one.
[Michael] And that's gotta be it.
-[Jerry] Ugh. -[Michael] Second time the Accolade
has been put on here in this matchup.
Jack Swagger again trying to hang on.
Is he gonna be forced to tap out or will he fade away to the Accolade?
[Jerry] I'm not sure how he can take this pain.
That's it. That's it.
[bell ringing]
["Roar of the Lion" playing]
[Michael] Rusev remains unpinned and unsubmitted.
[Eden] Here is your winner by submission
and still the United States Champion,
Rusev.
[JBL] Well, another person has failed the country.
[Michael] Jack Swagger gave it everything he had here tonight.
[screaming]
[JBL] Yeah, I'm sure Zeb feels real good with that.
[explosion]
[JBL] There's what you get.
[speaking Bulgarian]
[JBL] This Russian may be unbeatable.
[Jerry] Well, let's go back and look at what I think
was the beginning of the end.
That kick on the outside right to the jaw of Jack Swagger.
And then another kick for good measure on the inside.
There you see, you're gonna see there's the tap right there.
-That's it. That's it. Ring the bell. -[bell ringing]
[Jerry] Swagger had no choice.
[JBL] The Russian is unstoppable.
[speaking Bulgarian]
[JBL] It's disgusting, but he's as good as Lana says he is.
["Roar of the Lion" concludes]
[tense music playing]
[Michael] He is perhaps the most dangerous superstar.
[Heyman] Brock Lesnar imposed his will on John Cena.
[Michael] Lesnar has won the WWE world title.
The question is, is how will John Cena respond tonight?
[JBL] Cena has hit him with his very best
[Michael] The Attitude Adjustment for the championship.
What the hell?
[JBL] Cena had him beat.
[Michael] Was Brock Lesnar going to lose to John Cena?
We'll never know.
[narrator] Now comes the final chapter.
Brock Lesnar, John Cena.
The WWE World Heavyweight Championship,
it's their epic final battle.
WWE Royal Rumble Sunday, Sunday, January 25th live on WWE Network.
And we are six weeks away from the Royal Rumble from Philadelphia.
Not only John Cena versus Brock Lesnar for the WWE world title,
but, of course, the Royal Rumble match itself…
-Yes. -…where the winner
will headline WrestleMania.
And we learned earlier tonight that Roman Reigns
has already joined the fray for the Rumble match.
It's gonna be huge.
It's gonna have to go some to top what we have seen here tonight, though.
And you know what the Royal Rumble means, John it means--
Yes, I do. Get the car out. It's the Road to WrestleMania.
But we are not done yet here tonight…
-No. -…at TLC.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next,
Dean Ambrose, the Breakout Star of the Year
winning a Slammy Award for that, takes on Bray Wyatt
in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
It is a face-off of two of the strangest,
most unorthodox superstars in history.
Both with a troubled past.
♪ Ain't nobody gonna stop this train ♪
-[eerie music playing] -Let me tell you a little story
about a man named Jacob.
He had these dreams of this great ladder.
The angels adorned this ladder
because it led straight to heaven.
At Survivor Series, Dean,
as you started to climb that ladder,
you look just like an angel
ascending to the heavens.
[laughs]
But it's just like I told you before, Dean,
they ain't got much room for people like us up there.
[laughing] No.
People like you and I,
we belong somewhere different.
[laughs]
There's a special place in hell for people like us, Dean.
Your demons mold you.
[laughs]
But understand, Dean,
I mold the demons.
And they march on my command.
I'm sure you think that you've got me all figured out.
The devil works in mysterious ways, Dean.
[sinister music playing]
Bray Wyatt thought he was gonna pick me apart piece by piece
from the inside of my brain out.
[Michael] And here comes The Lunatic Fringe.
[Ambrose] It hasn't quite worked out like that, has it?
[Michael] Dean Ambrose beat the hell out of Bray Wyatt.
I'm going to take everything from you!
I mean, I really took great, sick pleasure…
[dramatic music playing]
[Ambrose] …in destroying Bray Wyatt's stupid rocking chair.
And I could tell, by the way, he was nearly brought to tears
that that chair held a special place in his heart.
And now, just like I did to that chair,
I'm going to pick you apart piece by piece and destroy you at TLC!
The mind games are over.
[Bray] I'm sorry, man.
But you chose your path.
[ominous music playing]
That was her chair.
She was sitting in that rocking chair.
That was her chair.
I'm gonna climb up that ladder, look down at your lifeless body,
and I'mma finally be able to smile.
That was her chair.
Because I finally put you back where you belong.
In the dirt.
I am a monster.
[laughs]
[siren wailing]
[Michael] "The Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose.
[Ambrose] Look at that ambulance, Wyatt.
The only way you're gonna leave TLC
is in the back of one of those.
[siren wailing]
[Ambrose] When it's tables
and when it's ladders and when it's chairs,
you're gonna know exactly who you're in here with.
I become the monster.
And I'm gonna eat you alive!
[music concludes]
[bell ringing]
[Lilián] The following is a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
Now, in this match, there are no disqualifications, no count-outs.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
["Retaliation" playing]
[Lilián] Introducing first from Cincinnati, Ohio,
weighing in at 225 pounds,
Dean Ambrose!
[Michael] He is the 2014 Breakout Star of the Year,
winning the Slammy Award for that last week
as voted on by you, the WWE fans.
And tonight, Dean Ambrose looks to slay
the man who has been a thorn in his side for the last couple of months, Bray Wyatt.
[JBL] He's also the 2013 Breakout Star of the Year as part of The Shield.
["Retaliation" continues]
A Lunatic Fringe,
the unhinged Dean Ambrose.
["Retaliation" continues]

[Michael] A psychological game he's been playing with Dean Ambrose,

[Jerry] Wow.
[JBL] That's eerie.
[Jerry] JBL, you say the movement is strong.
But like most movements, they eventually have to be flushed.
And that's what Dean Ambrose intends to do here tonight.
[JBL] A lot of people have tried to stop Bray Wyatt.
None have been successful so far stopping this movement from growing.

[song stops abruptly]
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] #TLCmatch just talk about this matchup.
[Jerry] Whoa!
[Michael] And Dean Ambrose wasting little time.
[JBL] Let's get started.
[Michael] Ambrose and Wyatt, Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
[Jerry] This one's got it all, baby. Oh!
[Michael] Get a win via pinfall or submission inside the ring
but tables, ladders and chairs all legal.
And we have seen what these two men are capable of.
Imagine what they can do using tables, ladders and chairs.
[Jerry] Yeah. We have already had a glimpse tonight
of what tables can do in a match,
what chairs can do in a match
and, certainly, the damage ladders can do in a match.
And they're all at these two's disposal.
[crowd cheering]
[man] Get him, Dean.
[Michael] Now Dean Ambrose.
Ambrose, showing a kind of frustration at the hands of Bray Wyatt.
He sent Ambrose to the hospital,
taking a steel chair and shoving it right to his throat.
[Jerry] Watch out, guys.
[Michael] Oh, look out now. Here comes Ambrose,
right through the rope. And Wyatt taken down.
And Dean Ambrose coming out of the box flying here.
[Jerry] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Michael] Bray Wyatt driven into the barricade.
This is not a safe place to be tonight, anywhere near this area.
[cheering and applauding]
[Michael] And Ambrose off the announce table.
-[Jerry] Wow. -[Michael] And Wyatt driven…
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] …into the WWE fans.
[Jerry] That's dangerous out there.
At least for the fans. Look out.
[Michael] And Ambrose almost lost his footing,
able to retain his balance.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And now Ambrose and Wyatt fighting out there
in the midst of the WWE Universe here in Cleveland tonight.
[Jerry] Yeah. This is Tables, Ladders and Chairs,
not falls count anywhere, right?
-[Michael] Exactly. -[Jerry] Gotta be inside the ring.
[Michael] Gotta be inside the ring to win the matchup.
That's over by our kick-off show set.
You saw Alex Riley there in the foreground
as Wyatt drives Dean Ambrose into a barricade.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] And you could see Booker. He was smart enough to get out of there.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[JBL] He's an old veteran.
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Look at this!
-[Michael] Oh, my lord! -[Jerry] Now their chair's being used.
[cheering and applause]
[Michael] And Ambrose just does not care, does he?
[Jerry] No.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Now right back here in front of us,
Bray Wyatt on our announce table.
Dean Ambrose in pursuit.
-[Jerry] Uh-oh. -[Michael] And Bray Wyatt.
As we take another look at Dean Ambrose.
[Jerry] Using the table from the panel.
Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Bray Wyatt has not been able to get into this match.
It's been all Dean Ambrose from the beginning.
And here comes the chairs portion of this broadcast.
[Jerry] Oh!
That's a-- oh.
[man] Yeah! Hell yeah!
[man] Attaway Dean, you got it.
-One more time. -[Jerry] Oh, again.
[Michael] Oh, man.
[screams]
[man] Whoo!
[Jerry] Why is it every time you see something like that
happens to Bray Wyatt,
I mean, look at his face and you'll see there's a grimace
but it's tinged with a smile?
I don't know if you can really, truly hurt this this Bray Wyatt.
[Michael] I don't know. Ambrose seems to be doing a pretty good job of it.
[Jerry] Well, I mean-- yeah, I know you can hurt him.
But somehow, I think he enjoys it.
[Michael] Table time.
[JBL] We saw at Survivor Series
these two guys try to out-crazy each other.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Jerry laughs] -[man] Oh, kendo.
[Jerry] Hey. Wait a minute.
[JBL] What else do they have under that ring?
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, boy.
Those kendo sticks can do some damage.
[Michael] Look at Bray. Bray just--
he just stared at Ambrose. Look at Bray Wyatt.
-It's almost… -[Jerry] I think he's saying, "Come on."
[Michael] Yeah. He's almost like sacrificing himself up here.
[Jerry] Shoot your best shot. Oh, wait a minute.
[JBL] Get the chair, Bray. Get the chair.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh.
-[JBL] Too late. -[Michael] Oh, no.
[JBL] It's like one of your Cleveland Indians, King.
[Jerry] Yeah.
-[Michael] Oh! Grand slam. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Oof.
It has been all Ambrose.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] What's he gonna do now?
[JBL] I don't think Ambrose knows what he's gonna do.
[Michael] Ambrose second rope, steel chair in hand.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Michael] He's a nut job.
Ambrose! Oh, man!
[Chad] What do you say, Bray?
[JBL] It's impossible to game-plan Ambrose
'cause he-- Ambrose has no idea what he's gonna do…
-[Michael] He doesn't. -[JBL] …from one second to the next.
[Michael] You're exactly right.
I don't think he thinks about a match at all before he goes into it.
Whatever comes to mind. "That looks good to me, let's do that."
Just like this. I don't think he gave this much thought.
[Bray grunts]
-[Jerry] I don't know. Looks like a-- -[Michael] What is he doing?
[Jerry] Maybe trying to do some dental work?
[Michael] Oh, no, no. You know what he's do-- oh.
In the throat, much like Bray did to him with the steel chair.
[Jerry] He's going to work on Bray Wyatt's teeth through his ear.
[Michael] Oh! And Dean Ambrose went up top-- and oh, man.
-Driven off the rope through a table. -[Jerry] Oh, my God. Oh.
[Michael] And just like that,
Bray Wyatt has turned the tables, so to speak.
[Jerry] Yeah. But if he can-- if he can get to his feet,
this match is not over.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Michael] Yeah. Again this match is over… -[JBL] Now this match--
[Michael] …via pinfall or submission in the ring. Exactly.
[Jerry] Well, that hurt Dean Ambrose.
[Michael] Bray has gotta get Ambrose back in the ring…
-[Jerry] Look at that table. -[Michael] …to put this match away.
But now Bray Wyatt wants to torture Ambrose.
[Michael] Watch that.
-[crowd] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] And now, Bray Wyatt using the leg of the table.
[Jerry] What's left of the table.
[Michael] That was the leg-- or actually the side of it,
but nonetheless part of it.
And now Wyatt rolls back in the ring.
Here's the cover on Ambrose and a kickout by Dean at two.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Dean Ambrose, man, is-- he is showing the-- oh!
[JBL] Wow.
[Jerry] Effects of this abuse he is taking now.
And the kendo stick coming into play at the hands of Bray Wyatt.
-Oh, man. -[JBL] You know-- and again, King,
it's almost like they're trying to outdo each other.
One hits one with the kendo stick and the other one grabs a kendo stick
-and tries to hit the other one harder. -[Jerry] Well, they've been try--
[JBL] It's like they are trying to prove who's the craziest person in the WWE.
[Jerry] I was about to say they've been trying to out-crazy each other
since they met.
-What's this now? -[Michael] Who knows?
These guys are coming up with all these innovative ideas here.
[JBL] Do they just sit around and nod and dream of different stuff to do
with kendo sticks and chairs and tables?
[Michael] No. I think the King's point earlier,
they don't think of any of this stuff. They just go in there and do it.
And look at Dean fight back now.
-Bray right to the midsection. -[Jerry] Look out!
[Michael] And-- oh, man! Oh, my God.
[crowd clamoring]
-Pray for me, Ambrose! -[Jerry] Hit him right in the face.
[Michael] In the eye, maybe.
And now Bray Wyatt looking to win the match
and Ambrose able to pop out at two.
Watch this.
That's hard to look at.
[Chad] What do you say, Ambrose?
[Jerry] No kidding. I think it's the-- yeah.
[Michael] It was the eye area, King.
[Jerry] It's in the area.
I mean, it's-- hopefully and fortunately it didn't go directly into his eye.
[Michael] A step ladder.
[JBL] J&J Securities.
[crowd clamoring]
-[Jerry] Watch out. -[Michael] Oh.
Now Bray Wyatt can simply take his time.
[Ambrose grunts]
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] Uh-oh.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] And now Bray Wyatt, Bray Wyatt!
[Jerry] With that said, you wonder where they think of these ideas.
[Michael] Wyatt for the victory on Ambrose, who kicks out.
[Jerry] And what to do to each other, it possibly may have come to them
in their therapist's office or something.
[JBL] First time I've seen this.
[crowd exclaims]
[Jerry] You know, this is--
[JBL] You know, they're thinking in their mind,
"I'm just gonna put him on the ladder and I'm gonna jump on him and the ladder."
It just seems good in their mind somehow.
[Jerry] Ow, ow, ow, watch it.
[Michael] This has really been the tale of two matches.
The first part of this was all Ambrose and now it's all Bray Wyatt.
[Jerry] You're not supposed to floss with a kendo stick.
Come on, Bray.
Oh.
[JBL] Wow.
[Jerry] Goodness.
[crowd clamoring]
[man] Let's go, Bray.
-[JBL] I'm thinking somehow-- -[Jerry] This is-- it's hard-- guys,
I don't know about you, but it's hard to--
I can't even imagine what they're gonna do next. Oh.
[JBL] Just know a human body is gonna go through that somehow.
[Jerry] Yes.
You asked for this, Ambrose.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] Now, look out, look out, look out.
And Ambrose moves out of the way.
-Bray Wyatt body first into the ladder. -[Chad] What do you say, Bray?
What do you say, Bray?
[Michael] And now maybe it's Dean Ambrose's turn to take over.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] And Ambrose is bruised.
[JBL] Ambrose sets up the ladder.
[Jerry] He's bruised and battered as well.
[JBL] 'Cause he wants to outdo Bray Wyatt.
[Michael] And Bray Wyatt wants to outdo Ambrose.
[grunting]
[Michael] I think-- oh. I think you put it best, John,
at one point when you said, "Who can out-crazy the other?"
[Jerry] Watch it. Oh.
[Michael] Bray bounced off the ladder. He's down and out in the corner.
Here comes Ambrose.
And Ambrose going for the running Bulldog.
[Jerry] Got him!
Cover him, that may be it. That could do it.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] No. -[JBL] I don't think Ambrose
wants to beat him there.
[Jerry] Nope. I think Ambrose wants to deal out a little more punishment.
[Michael] Yeah, for everything that Bray Wyatt has done.
Remember, Bray Wyatt, back inside Hell in a Cell,
cost Ambrose an opportunity to get a victory over Rollins,
the guy who stabbed him in the back.
Now look at this.
Ambrose off the ladder. Down goes Bray.
Cover. Is it enough to put Wyatt away?
And a kickout at two and another near fall.
[crowd clamoring]
[Mike] What do you say, Ambrose?
[woman] Come on, Dean!
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Wyatt!
[crowd chanting] Wyatt sucks!
Let's go, Wyatt!
Wyatt sucks!
Let's go, Wyatt!
[Jerry] Dean Ambrose trying to put Bray into those ropes.
[Michael] And Bray Wyatt is in trouble.
[JBL] What now?
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Wyatt!
[Jerry] What is he thinking?
[Michael] Ambrose planting Wyatt to the chair.
[Chad] What do you say, Bray?
[Jerry] It was a leg drop with all his weight
across the body of Bray Wyatt.
[Michael] Is it enough to put Bray away? Hook of the leg now and a kickout.
[Chad] Two. What do you say, Bray?
[Jerry] Here you go again. Face-first.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Look at this. Look at this.
He looks like he's getting a little pumped up here.
Maybe a lot pumped up.
-[Michael] Dean going for Dirty Deeds. -[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Michael] Bray Wyatt countered, looking for Sister Abigail.
Ambrose counters out of that.
Oh, my God!
[JBL] Good God in heaven.
One, two…
[Michael] How did Ambrose kick out?
[JBL] Ambrose was almost decapitated with this.
[Jerry] Let's look at this again.
[Michael] He about sent Ambrose's head into the second rope.
-[JBL] Wow. -[Jerry] Watch, watch, watch. Listen.
[JBL] That's not a clothesline. That's like a right hook.
-Wow. -[Michael] Ambrose gasping for air.
-I don't know how the hell he kicked out. -[Jerry] No kidding.
If that don't knock all the wind out of your sails, nothing will.
Oh, or maybe that will.
[man] Come on, Dean. Let's go.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Oh, look at this.
-[Michael] And Ambrose -[Jerry] Ambrose returns the favor.
[Michael] How does he do it?
[Jerry] I don't know.
[Michael] It's got to be adrenaline.
[Jerry] Just when you think you've got him out
and you throw him into either the ropes or into the ring,
he's back at you so fast.
He follows you right back and delivers one of those.
[Michael] And now the nut job is smiling.
[Jerry] Oh.
[man] Come on, Dean.
[crowd clamoring]
[man] Come on, Dean.
[Michael] The WWE Universe loves him.
Ooh.
[JBL] Of course, you always love a crash test dummy
that's willing to do anything.
I don't know how long Dean Ambrose will be around,
but he's fun to watch while he's here.
[Jerry] This is the kind of stuff you love to watch
as long as it's not happening to you.
[crowd clamoring]
[woman] Yeah.
[man] This is crazy.
[Jerry] He's got another table.
[Michael] You like this hardcore style, like both of these guys do.
With all those ladders, tables, and chairs around out
there in that entrance way, it's like Candy Land for these guys.
[JBL] Yes. Talking about a fat guy in a pizza buffet.
-[Michael laughs] Oh, my God! -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Bray is on the table. Ambrose is climbing up top of the ladder.
Dean Ambrose.
[Jerry] You've got to know whatever he's gonna do
is gonna hurt him just as bad as it hurts Bray Wyatt.
-[Michael] He doesn't care. -[Jerry] You're right.
[JBL] Get ready.
[Michael] Ambrose through the table and through Wyatt.
[crowd chanting] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
[Michael] And you're right, King. Look at the shape Ambrose is in.
[Jerry] Told you.
[crowd chanting] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
[JBL] This is incredible. This is truly a human Demolition Derby.
But this has got to finish in the ring.
[Jerry] Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] Now what's going through his mind?
[JBL] Does he have one?
[Michael] Like we said, making it up as he goes along.
[crowd clamoring]
[metal clanking]
[Michael] My goodness, not another table.
[Jerry] I think we have an endless supply of tables.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] This is crazy!
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] That ladder is even taller than the one before.
[crowd chanting] This is crazy!
This is crazy!
[Michael] Look at how high Ambrose is up there.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Ambrose gonna go to it again!
Bray Wyatt through the table!
[Jerry] From even higher up.
[crowd clamoring]
[crowd chanting] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
[crowd chanting] One more time! One more time! One more time!
[Jerry] We know Dean Ambrose is hurting, but surely,
surely Bray Wyatt can't take much more of this.
[crowd chanting] One more time! One more time!
[Jerry] Some of those table splinters they were talking about earlier.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Look at the height here. Watch this. Oh!
Again.
Oh.
[crowd clamoring]
[man] This is crazy.
[Michael] Now remember, Ambrose has got to get Wyatt back into the ring
in order to pick up a pinfall victory.
That's why he's dragging Wyatt back toward the squared circle.
[Jerry] And Ambrose must think that…
he has Bray right where he wants him.
From the looks of things, like I said, Bray Wyatt can't stand much more.
[Michael] I would imagine.
I mean, he jumped off two ladders and put Bray through two tables.
[JBL] Look, it's all catching up Dean Ambrose now.
[Michael] He's inflicting as much damage on himself as he is Bray.
Wyatt. Oh, Sister Abigail from out of nowhere!
Cover, hook of the leg, and Ambrose kicked out.
Wyatt almost caught him.
[Jerry] Almost caught him is right.
How Dean Ambrose survived that,
Bray Wyatt had to be thinking,
"I've got one shot left."
I've got one shot left and he took it.
[Michael] But Bray knew it, too, King.
-You see his face? -[Jerry] Yeah.
[Michael] He knew that was his opportunity.
[JBL] I think you're right, King. That was the last shot Bray Wyatt had.
[Michael] Maybe not.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] You're right, Michael.
These two guys are on a different planet than the rest of us.
[Michael] Yeah, different solar system.
Again going for Sister Abigail for a second time now.
-Ambrose reverses… -[Jerry] Hey.
[Michael] …rolls him up, shoulders down, and a kickout by Bray.
-[Jerry] Watch it. Oh. -[Michael] Oh, headfirst off the ladder.
Dirty Deeds time. Dirty Deeds from Ambrose.
[Jerry] Now, if Ambrose can just somehow roll
his lifeless body over and cover him.
[Michael] Ambrose for the cover…
-[Jerry] He may have him right here. -[Michael] …for the win. For the win.
Wyatt kicks out.
[Jerry] Oh, man!
What a battle.
[Michael] Wyatt hit Sister Abigail, and Ambrose kicked out.
Ambrose hit Dirty Deeds, and Wyatt kicked out.
[JBL] It's an absolute war of attrition.
[Jerry] Look at this. Sidestep, face-first into the steel ladder.
That did not put Bray Wyatt away.
[Michael] This isn't about who wins. This is about who survives.
[Jerry] Right.
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Ambrose!
Let's go, Ambrose!
[Chad] What do you say, Ambrose?
[Michael] Bray Wyatt rolling out of the ring,
crawling around out here at ringside.
Ambrose has a steel chair in hand.
Okay.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] What is wrong with him?
[Jerry] Are you kidding?
-[JBL] How much time you got? -[Jerry] Yeah.
We take a battery of psychiatrists to try to figure that out.
[Michael] No, he's-- Dean Ambrose, he's--
And that would be a TV.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Is he checking to see how much damage is done to his face?
[JBL] That monitor is…
[Michael] Is what?
[JBL] It's working-- I mean, it's a lot-- underneath the ring.
[Michael] Yeah. We had that for our technicians and stuff, John,
throughout the show.
[JBL] And they live under the ring?
[Michael] No, but it's placed down there in case we ever need to use it.
Like if our announce table is taken out and we need to look at something
while we're out here.
-How long have you been doing this job? -[Jerry] Guys…
-[JBL] Yes. -[Jerry] Dean Ambrose
looks like he's just gotten sidetracked.
Does he still got his mind on this match?
[Michael] I have no idea.
He noticed something and he started heading back toward the…
[Jerry] He looked at himself on TV, saw all those ladders and…
the guy can barely walk.
But where is he walking to?
[JBL] Maybe Dean is going home.
[Michael] I don't think so.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] I know one thing.
He's going after the biggest ladder in the building.
Look at this thing. Watch it.
What is that? A 25-foot ladder?
[JBL] The question is, what's he gonna do with it?
[Michael] I have no idea.
[JBL] I have no doubt that he's gonna somehow go up this ladder,
but where's he gonna go?
[Michael] Bray Wyatt has not moved, by the way here at ringside.
Yeah. Yeah!
[Michael] And Ambrose is lugging this huge ladder over here in front of us.
[Jerry] Look at the size of this ladder.
[JBL] That ladder is 20 feet high.
[Jerry] At least.
[Michael] Ambrose is having a hard time just setting the thing up.
[JBL] I know he's gonna climb the crazy thing,
but what's he gonna jump on?
Who's he gonna--
Because Bray is not-- he--
[Michael] Well, at least he asked Carlos and Marcelo to move out of the way.
The Spanish announce table is about to become roadkill again.
[Jerry] Aww, he's a nice guy.
[crowd clamoring]
[man] Go get him, Dean.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] And now Wyatt-- Bray Wyatt playing possum.
Steel chair now.
[JBL] You're right, Bray Wyatt was playing possum.
[Jerry] You hear that?
[JBL] Lying in wait for Dean Ambrose.
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] Ambrose took too long.
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt had time to recuperate over here.
[crowd clamoring]
[Bray] You're done. You're done. You're done.
[crowd clamoring]
[woman] Let's go, Dean!
[Jerry] No, no, no, no, no. Watch out.
Oh, my, thank goodness.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] The move that Bray put Dean in the hospital.
[Michael] Oh! A little bit of payback!
[Chad] Are you okay?
[speaking indistinctly]
[Bray coughing]
[Michael] Retribution for Ambrose.
So much for the preaching, Bray.
[crowd cheering]
-[JBL] Oh, no, here we go. -[Michael] No, no, no, no.
-[JBL] Here we go. -[Michael] Guys, get out of harm's way.
[Jerry] Where would that be?
[Michael] I think there's gonna be pieces of table going everywhere.
Ambrose up top. Look how high he is.
-[Jerry] This is not smart. -[Michael] Look how high Ambrose is.
[Jerry] I would not do this.
[JBL] Good grief, that's 20 feet in the air.
[Michael] Look how high Ambrose is. Oh, my God!
[crowd clamoring]
[man] Yeah.
[crowd chanting] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Holy shit! Holy shit!
[Michael] Absolutely incredible.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] Guys, I think they're both finished,
-but how is he-- -[Michael] Watch this.
-[Jerry] I can see they're-- -[Michael] Watch Ambrose--
Ambrose's hip caught the edge of the table.
Bray Wyatt went completely through the table.
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
This is awesome!
[Michael] And remember, guys, this match continues.
Nobody is getting counted out.
You gotta drag the guy back in the ring and pin him, plain and simple.
[crowd clamoring]
[Michael] And how are these guys still fighting?
[Jerry] How are they still conscious?
[woman cheering]
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] If Dean Ambrose could just get Bray back in the ring,
I think he's got him pinned.
[Michael] Look at Bray. Look at Bray. Bray is biting Dean.
He's falling to his knees, not allowing Ambrose
to cart him back inside.
[JBL] Bray knows if he gets in that ring,
he doesn't have the strength to kick out.
[Jerry] Does Dean having the strength to get Bray Wyatt? Yes.
[Michael] Oh, he does. Ambrose's got Wyatt back in the ring.
Now Dean Ambrose looking to try to go--
[Jerry] Now can Ambrose get himself back in the ring?
[JBL] Look at Bray trying to roll to the ropes.
[Michael] He better get out of the ring.
Those ropes aren't gonna force any type of break here.
[Jerry laughs]
[Michael] This guy is out. He's out to lunch.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] It's that monitor.
[Michael] And Dean Ambrose--
Dean Ambrose just kissed Bray Wyatt goodbye.
[JBL] Get ready for your close-up.
[Michael] Ambrose now.
Ambrose. Oh, my God!
[JBL] What the hell was that?
[crowd clamoring]
[JBL] That was the TV?
[Jerry] Yeah. I believe it just exploded.
[Michael] The TV shorted out or something and blew up in Ambrose face.
[crowd clamoring]
[Jerry] He's telling the referee that he can continue maybe.
[JBL] Of course he's saying that. I'm not sure that he should.
-[Michael] I don't-- I don't think-- -[JBL] Can he see?
[Michael] I don't even think he can see, guys.
-[JBL] I don't think he see at all. -[Michael] Now Sister Abigail!
Dean-- A blinded Dean Ambrose walked right into it.
-[bell ringing] -[Michael] And Bray Wyatt wins it.
["Live In Fear" playing]
[Lilián] Here is your winner,
Bray Wyatt!
[Michael] Now Ambrose is-- he was definitely blinded
when that television monitor blew up and sparked in his face.
And Wyatt took advantage.
What a hellacious match.

Guys, we thought that this won the thing for Dean Ambrose.
I mean, how either one of them survived,
but Dean was able to get Bray back in the ring and we thought it was over.
But then this-- watch this monitor. Watch it closely.
Oh, man.
You're right, Michael, this thing just shorts completely out
and explodes right in his hand.
[Michael] Yeah. And it blinded Ambrose.
Bright light, the smoke, the sparks blinding Ambrose.
He walked right into Bray Wyatt's Sister Abigail.
I don't think Dean Ambrose had a clue what hit him.
[bell ringing]
[JBL] Dean Ambrose still hasn't a clue what hit him.
[Michael] What an incredible matchup.
Bray Wyatt with the victory.
