[Graves] Had it not been for Seth Rollins,
Roman Reigns very well could be your WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
[Triple H] All he had to do was shake my hand…
[echoing] Shake my hand, shake my hand…
[dramatic music playing]
[JBL] Roman made it to the top of the mountain,
only to be Brogue Kicked right off of it.
[Sheamus] You need to get over this, fella.
You were WWE World Heavyweight Champion
for five minutes and 15 seconds.
I've been in elevators longer than you were champion.
You can't even heat up a frozen burrito in the time that you were champion.
To all of you, you can forget about your Austin 3:16
because Sheamus 5:15 says,
"I just kicked your arse!"
[crowd booing]
[rock music playing]
I got three words for you.
[echoing] Three words for you…
Tables, Ladders and Chairs.
I'm gonna take what's rightfully mine,
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship,
and you better believe that.
[narrator] Tonight,
it's WWE's version of Demolition Derby.
[Michael] It's absolute chaos!
[Jerry] This action is fast and furious.
[JBL] My God, what's gonna happen?
[narrator] When three of the most destructive devices
fall into the hands of two of the most dangerous superstars,
one will fall,
the other will rise…
[Sheamus] …to remain…
[Roman] …to become champion.

In fact, Kalisto sent out a tweet earlier today
saying "Tonight the Lucha movement brings home the tag team gold."
"It's a new day for The Lucha Dragons."
Sin Cara also tweeted earlier today
saying every night is an opportunity
to show the world something to join the Lucha movement at WWE TLC.
So guys, is New Day in the driver seat
in this Triple Threat Ladder Match for the tag team title?
Well, without a doubt they think they are
but I don't think the rest of the universe will agree.
You saw their Wheaties cover, they gotta be the favorites.
Oh, please. Come on.
-Would you buy those Wheaties? -Absolutely.
[laughs] Here we go.
Remember the objective, to climb a ladder

tag team titles hanging high above the ring.
First team to grab the gold becomes the Tag Team Champs tonight.
New Day defending against The Usos and the Lucha Dragons.
-[bell rings] -[Michael] And we are being joined now
on commentary by Xavier Woods of The New Day.
-Welcome. -[Xavier] The fantastic Xavier Woods.
I am so happy to be here on commentary.
It's gonna be fantastic.
We're gonna watch a great Ladder match between three great teams,
and New Day being by far of the best, and we're gonna win.
-[Michael] And Kofi Kingston who's… -[Jerry] Whoa, ladders already, look out.
[Michael] …got more experience than anyone in Ladder matches in this match,
setting up a ladder right in front of us here.
[Xavier] Whoo. As you know, experience in a match like this…
-[Michael] Oh. -[Xavier] …is key to winning.
-Another reason why… -[Michael] Oh.
[Xavier] …we've been on top of our game.
[Michael] And pinning The Usos against the barricade.
-[crowd cheering] -[Xavier] Look out. Look out.
[Michael] And right now. Kofi-- Big E is alone in the ring by himself.
[Jerry] He's got a ladder in there with him.
[Xavier] We wanna end it quick.
[Michael] And Kofi Kingston as well.
[JBL] This could be the shortest Ladder match in history.
-[Xavier] See? -[Michael] They climb the ladder here,
and grab the gold, and retain the titles.
[JBL] Are you unicorns good at climbing?
-[Xavier] Oh, we are. -[Jerry] Whoa!
[Michael] And here are Jimmy and Jey, The Usos.
Xavier, when we saw the TLC kickoff show earlier tonight
that New Day presented some Christmas or holiday gifts
to both The Usos and The Lucha Dragons.
[Xavier] We like to spread joy,
spread some holiday cheer around this time of year.
-[Michael] Yeah. -[Xavier] That's a… that's a gift
that we have right now. We're on commentary.
-[Jerry] Oh, Jimmy and Jey… -[Xavier] Oh.
-[Jerry] …are about to spread some-- -[Michael] Oh, look at this.
-This is Kalisto… -[Jerry] Whoa.
-[Michael] …and Kofi Kingston. -[Xavier] Get him, Kof.
[Michael] And again, The Usos playing defense
and trying to scramble up the ladder on their own.
-[Xavier] Fast-paced action in the making. -[Jerry] Yes, it is.
[Xavier] Look at this, Uso out.
-There you go, Kof. -[Jerry] Ow.
[Xavier laughs]
[crowd chatter]
[Xavier] People might be wondering why I'm not involved in this match.
-Why I'm on commentary, again. -[Michael] I don't think so.
-[Xavier] You don't think so? -[Michael] Yeah.
[Xavier] Well, for the people that are, Michael, people are complaining,
you know, that we've got a three-on-two advantage, so watch this, everybody.
They can do this, two-on-two… two-on-one.
-[JBL] Oh, look out here. -[Michael] Look at this.
-[JBL] Here's two-on-two. -[Michael] Lucha Dragons
who believe the Ladder match is right up there.
-Because of moves like that. -[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] And now, Jimmy and Jey Uso all alone with the ladder.
[JBL] Climb the ladder. Climb the ladder.
-[Jerry] Yes. -[JBL] What's wrong with you?
-[Michael] Come on. -[Xavier] This is where their lack
of experience comes into play.
[Jerry] Coming into play-- Oh!
[Michael] The Usos just looking to ensure that New Day
and The Lucha Dragons are out for good.
[Jerry] Oh, no, no, not this. Look out!
-[Michael] Oh. -[Xavier] See? They caught it.
They caught it.
Oh, Kofi, sort of got-- Oh, no. Oh, no.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] High-risk maneuver by The Usos, everybody wiped out.
You know, on the kickoff show earlier tonight,
Jey Uso talked about how important this match-up is tonight
because of what The New Day did to him at WrestleMania, causing injury,
a shoulder injury which cost him six months of his career.
[Jerry] Watch this. Jimmy and Jey come busting through the wind,
throwing their bodies right into those ladders.
-[Michael] Oh, Xavier, The Usos… -[JBL] Now, they're thinking.
[Michael] …have not forgotten the injury that you caused them.
[JBL] They got a free… they got a free pass right now.
Here we go.
[Xavier] If the Usos are holding a grudge, that's going to count against them.
-[JBL] Watch it. -[Michael] And Kofi Kingston.
Not sure if he wants to be there.
-[Xavier] Oh, my! -[Michael] Oh, no!
Kofi, are you all right, there? Are you all right?
-You got this. -[Michael] Big E wipes out The Usos!
[Xavier] They're you go. See, E got you. Big brother got you.
[crowd chatter]
[Xavier] Are you all right?
[Michael] Speaking of Big E, he had an issue trying to play
that trombone on SmackDown Thursday night.
[Jerry] Yeah, what was up with that, Xavier?
[Xavier] E is more of a gong player, I'm the trombone guy,
Kofi's got saxophone.
We got a whole ska band that we're bringing out.
Album coming out soon on iTunes.
-[Jerry] Was that a mouth-- -[Michael] Oh!
[Jerry] Was that a mouthpiece malfunction?
[Xavier] E's playing his own instrument, you know what I mean?
But Kofi right there, smashing that Uso with a ladder.
[JBL] Sure. He can play the jukebox, you know?
[Xavier] Well, you just need a little bit of cash for that. E is rich.
[Michael] You know, you guys did bring this Triple Threat match on yourself
when you interfered with that number one contenders match now.
What? Interfered?
Michael, you need to get your terminologies correct,
semantics is very important in your job.
So gonna get things straight. Actually…
-[Jerry] Oh. Look at this. -[Xavier] …one second. I'll be right back.
-I'll be right back. -[Jerry] Wait, wait. No. No, stay here.
Where's he--
[crowd chatter]
-[Xavier] This is what happens to a man… -[Jerry] I guess he's gonna…
-…when he's getting his head smashed in. -[Jerry] I think Xavier's gonna do
-some cheerleading. -'Cause I'm supposed to be
-on commentary right now. Oh! -[Jerry] Up close.
Oh, no. Go ahead, take him out. Take him out.
-[Michael] Uh-oh. Here we go. -[JBL] Oh, this is awesome.
-[Jerry] What? -[trombone playing]
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Oh, man!
[trombone playing]
[crowd chanting] New Day rocks! New Day rocks! New Day rocks!
[Jerry] Look at Big E. Oh, no!
-[JBL] Oh, man. -[Michael] Oh, no.
The Usos taken out.
Meanwhile, look out from behind because there's Kalisto and Sin Cara,
-The Lucha Dragons, and New Day… -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] …doesn't have a clue.
[Xavier] That's what's great about The New Day, we play every position.
We're still fast, we can be in the match, we can be on commentary,
English announce table, Spanish announce table.
Mm. We can do it all.
-[Michael] Look at the power of Big E. -[Jerry] I gotta admit that the trombone
got your guys fired up.
[Xavier] See, I'm a bard, that's a person who plays music to buff their team, Jerry.
-[Jerry] A bard? -[Xavier] Bard.
[JBL] Hey, even Alabama brings a band.
-[Xavier] See? There you go. -[JBL] Roll Tide.
[Xavier] Alabama Crimson, they got the elephant, right?
-Uh-oh. -[Jerry] Whoa!
[Michael] Oh, Big E taken out!
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Xavier] Come on, E.
[Michael] Xavier, you do realize that last week The Lucha Dragons
had two victories over New Day, right?
[Xavier] Yeah, they did but they were non-title match-ups.
You gotta beat us when it counts, Michael.
[Jerry] Right from behind there by Kofi Kingston.
[Xavier] Like today. Look at the agility from Kofi Kingston,
the veteran Ladder match-haver in this match.
[Michael] Yeah, we've seen Kofi do some incredible things
on a ladder in the past.
[JBL] Did you call him the veteran latch-- match-haver?
[Xavier] Ladder match-haver, yes.
That's what I said, you heard me.
-[Jerry] Easy for you to say. -[Xavier] Very. Like--
-[Jerry] No! -[Michael] Oh, no!
-Wow. -[Jerry] That's it.
[Michael] Kofi crushed.
[JBL] Oh, no.
[Michael] Sin Cara as well.
[Jerry] He got chopped like a Veg-O-Matic.
[Michael] New Day celebrating their 110th day as Tag Team Champions
but it could be their last
-after moves like this. -[Jerry] Watch this.
-Oh! -[JBL] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] Incoming.
[Xavier] E, you gotta get up.
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] Fourteen thousand, nine hundred and three here in Boston.
-[JBL] They're loving this. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Sin Cara!
[Jerry] What?
[Michael] He sacrificed his body to take out The Usos and the ladder.
[Xavier] See, the thing is people at home
might be so excited watching that, but that's not cool.
Sin Cara's taken himself out of the match, now he can't win.
Now his partner Kalisto is left alone.
[Michael] Yeah, but he's doing a pretty good number on Big E.
[Jerry] Watch.
[Xavier] E is-- E, come on.
[Jerry] I got news for Big E, it's bad luck to be under a ladder.
Watch this again.
I agree with you, Xavier.
Oh, what was Kalisto thinking?
-[Xavier] Sin Cara, Sin Cara, Jerry. -[Jerry] Oh, Sin Cara.
[Xavier] It's okay, I got it for you, I got it for you.
-I'mma take you there. -[Jerry] I appreciate that.
-[Xavier] No problem. -[Michael] Kalisto's got Big E pinned
under that bottom rung of the ladder.
[Jerry] And now what's Kalisto thinking?
[Xavier] E, come on.
[crowd chatter]
[Xavier] Oh.
-[Jerry] Big E pushing it out there. -[Michael] Look at Kalisto. Kalisto--
[Xavier] Oh, look at that bench press, that bench press.
[JBL] A man that's bench pressed over 500 pounds in competition.
[Michael] And now Sin Cara.
-[Xavier] E, come on. -[Michael] And Kalisto is almost there.
[Xavier] E, bench up.
[Michael] Sin Cara climbing the ladder as well.
-[Xavier] Bench them, E. -[Michael] And look at Big E.
-Bench-pressing the Lucha Dragons. -[JBL] That's a 500-pound
-bench press from Big E. -[Xavier] That's why he's the muscle,
that's why he's the muscle. Keep going, keep going, keep going.
[Jerry] Oh, no, please let him down.
-Oh! -[Michael] Oh, no.
Kalisto saved by The Usos, believe it or not.
[JBL] Well, I'm sure he's safe.
[Michael] Maybe not.
[Xavier] The thing is, in a match like this,
every team is upping their game.
[Michael] Double Superkick!
[JBL] In stereo.
[Jerry] It looks like Big E just caught a case of The Usos.
[Xavier laughs sarcastically] Jerry, it was a skin disease.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Foot in mouth disease or something.
[Xavier] Yeah, you suffered from that a few times, didn't you, back in the day?
-[Jerry] No. -[Xavier laughs] Got you.
-I know my history. That's-- Oh! -[Michael] Oh!
-[Jerry] Oh! -[JBL] Oh.
[Xavier] E, you gotta move.
No.
Us…
-[crowd] O! -[Michael] No.
[Michael] Here come Jimmy and Jey.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Big E crushed.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Yeah, Big E-- Xavier, you better play that trombone again.
-Whoa. -[Michael] And Kofi.
[JBL] Does Kofi know what he's doing?
He got a little lucky pulling that top rope down.
Give me that, uce.
-[Xavier] Come on, E. -[Jerry] Another ladder.
[Xavier] Get your head in the game, E.
[Michael] And Jey Uso, what's he gonna do here to Kofi?
Yeah!
[Xavier] Kofi's gotta reverse out of this.
[JBL] Look at that. Remember that sound?
[Michael] Yeah, I hope he does something out of this.
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] That's gonna leave a mark.
Or several.
[Michael] Now he's back up.
-[JBL] Kofi, you-- -[Michael] There's no way he's gonna--
[JBL] Kofi, you really should get out of the way.
Kofi, you really should get out of the way.
-[Xavier] Oh no, he can't hear me. -[JBL] Kofi, get out of the way now.
-[Xavier] Move. There you go. -[Michael] Jey Uso from the top rope
went for the splash and Kofi Kingston averting disaster.
[Xavier] The veteran Ladder match-haver showing exactly
what he's got skill-wise in this match.
-Hmm. -[Jerry] Ladder match-haver.
[Xavier] Ladder match-haver. Tell me it doesn't make sense, try.
-[Jerry] It does. -[Xavier] Thank you.
Very intelligent man.
[Jerry] I am?
[Michael] Loved your unicorn hairdo by the way.
[Xavier] You know, things change, Boston wasn't ready for that.
I'm not gonna waste a good hair day on a city like Boston.
Please. I have other things to do.
[JBL ] Tedd Williams never dipped his cap here.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Xavier] Oh.
[Jerry] Kofi's in trouble, Xavier.
[Xavier] Kofi, no. What?
[Jerry] Kofi's in bigger trouble.
-[Xavier] No. -[Michael] That's tag team for you.
[Jerry] Oh, don't do that. Oh!
[Michael] Oh, no.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Xavier, you better close your eyes.
[Xavier] Oh, no.
[Michael] You're not gonna wanna watch this.
[Xavier] This isn't happening, this isn't happening.
[JBL] I'm sure any of us wants to watch this.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Ooh!
[Jey] Let's go!
[Michael] There are bodies everywhere.
[Xavier] Let's go? Where are we going?
You're not going anywhere, you're about to lose this match, Usos.
[Michael] I think The Usos are about to win, Xavier, there's nobody in the ring
-and then The Usos are gonna climb… -[JBL] If they do… if they--
-[Michael] …the ladder here. -[Xavier] And that's the thing, Michael,
as an announcer of your stature, I don't think you could see more
than one move ahead, they're playing checkers, you guys play chess.
[Jerry] Hey, watch out, watch out.
[Xavier] Fight, fight, fight.
You're not friends, fight.
[Jerry] There's that chess game you were talking about, Xavier.
[Xavier] Fight.
[JBL] What are you gonna do, just square off?
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] The Usos, they're gonna climb the ladder,
Lucha Dragons looking to play defense.
Now it's Kalisto heading up.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Xavier] And Sin Cara taking the ladder out for everybody.
Not sure how smart that one was.
-Dios! -[Michael] Ooh, Jey.
-[Kalisto] Come on. -[Sin Cara] Stand him up.
-[Jerry] Xavier? -[Xavier] I'm very surprised
that Sin Cara didn't wanna put a ladder on top of that Uso
so he could sacrifice Kalisto's body like he did earlier to himself.
-[Jerry] Are you even more surprised that… -[Xavier] Oh, no.
[Jerry] …a number of your teammates are all gone right now?
They're both laying out flat on the floor. Oh!
-[JBL] Oh, no! -[Michael] Oh, my God!
-[Xavier] Oh. -[JBL] Wow.
Why?
And no, Jerry, I'm not because my team is resting right now, they are healing.
-[Jerry] Resting? -[Xavier] If you play WWE 2K16,
you know you gotta get your stamina back
before you get in the ring and climb the ladder to get the title.
[Michael] WWE 2K16?
-[Xavier] Yes. -[Michael] That's a video game.
-[Xavier] And it's the most realistic-- -[Michael] This is the real thing.
[Xavier] The most realistic wrestling game ever, that means it--
-[Michael] I know, it's awesome. -[Xavier] Right?
[Michael] But we're talking about the tag team titles here, Xavier.
-[Jerry] Watch this. -[Xavier] Oh, no, no.
I hope they playing it again.
-[Michael] And look at this. -[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Absolutely. A double team, Kalisto sacrificing himself.
And now Lucha Dragons looking to climb the ladder.
[Xavier] And Kofi, well-rested like I said he would be.
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[JBL] Well-rested Kofi Kingston.
[Xavier] Back in the-- Look at those forearms, he just dropped him.
-[JBL] Is his power charge back up? -[Xavier] See? Exactly.
He might have some specials in the back.
[Jerry] He's trying to lift that ladder.
[Michael] Guarantee, you don't see action like this and I'll put that down.
[Xavier] Oh, I guarantee you do on my gaming channel on YouTube
that you can subscribe to if you haven't already.
Man.
Look at Kofi, he's a… he's a joy to watch, isn't he?
Just great.
And see, the ring. He wrestles on a canvas.
Hmm. Oh, no, no.
[Jerry] Oh, yes, yes.
-Oh! -[JBL] Wow.
-[Michael] And hey… -[Jerry] Yes, yes.
[Michael] …Kalisto's playing Picasso right now.
[Michael] Oh!
[Xavier] What?
[Michael] Too bad, he didn't have a unicorn horn to protect him.
[Jerry] Oh, night nurse.
[Xavier] Kof, it's gonna be okay.
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Michael] Don't look at this, Xavier.
[Xavier] Why do you-- why do you keep showing me these things?
Before I was interrupted by Kalisto, I was gonna say,
there's a canvas in the ring.
[Michael] I think… I think Kofi's got a horn growing
-out of his forehead right now, King. -[Xavier] Our paint brushes…
-[Michael] A big old bruise. -[Jerry] Yeah.
-[JBL] He does. -Our paint brushes are our fist and feet.
And you're about to see Kofi Kingston do some fantastic art once he recovers.
[Jerry] Okay, you got it in.
[Xavier] I did and I told you I was going to.
-Had my point, I'm gonna make it. -[Michael] You might wanna be concerned
-about The Lucha Dragons here. -[Xavier] No.
[Michael] They're gonna climb the ladder and win the tag team gold.
[Xavier] Usos got them, very talented,
Usos, and they're gonna make sure
that The Lucha Dragons are gonna lose this match right now.
[Michael] So who would you rather win? The Usos or Lucha Dragons?
[Xavier] Oh, neither of them gonna win.
In a perfect world, you know, they think they can win,
but they can't.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Sometimes they put themselves and the ladder at risk.
Oh, see this?
[Michael] Well, there's not a unicorn in sight,
-[Jerry] Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh. -[Michael] Oh, and it-- Fingertips away.
-[Jerry] Oh, get it. -[Xavier] Hmm.
-Oh, no. -[JBL] Uso, they'll become
a three-time Tag Team Champion
-if they just get those titles. -[Michael] Yeah, Jey Uso's close.
Jey Uso is close.
Here comes Kalisto on the other side of the ladder.
-[Xavier] Yeah. -[Michael] The race is on
-for the tag team titles. -[Jerry] Oh.
-[Xavier] No. The resilient Kalisto… -[Jerry] He's got them, he's got them.
[Xavier] …gonna make sure that Uso does not grab those titles.
[Michael] Look at Kalisto fighting back.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] I can't believe you're this calm over here, Xavier,
when you're this close to being ex-champion.
[Xavier] I'm not-- What do you mean ex-champion?
Look at this, they're gonna take each other out. This one's not--
[Michael] No, no, no, no, no, no. Is he gonna for this, from up there?
-[crowd cheering] -[Xavier] No!
-[Michael] The Salida Del Sol… -[Xavier] What? What?
[Michael] …from the top of the ladder! From the top of the ladder!
[Xavier] What?
[Jerry] They're done for!
[Michael] A Swanton off the top rope through the ladder.
-The Lucha Dragons… -[Xavier] What? What?
[Michael] …taking out everybody.
-Can you believe, the Salida Del Sol… -[Xavier] Are you kidding me?
-Are you kidding me? -[Michael] …from the top of the ladder.
[Xavier] How? Why is that happening?
How did anybody let that happen?
[Michael] Absolutely incredible.
-[JBL] How are these guys moving? -Oh. Oh.
-[Jerry] I don't know. -They're not.
[Jerry] It did happen though.
-Watch it again. -[Michael] Watch this.
[JBL] One of the craziest things I've ever seen.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Show me again, I wanna see it one more time.
-[Xavier] Oh, my God. -[JBL] Oh that's what I'm telling ya.
[Michael] Oh, look at the ladder. Look at the ladder,
because that's Jimmy Uso trying to come up on the other side of the ladder.
Meanwhile, Kalisto trying to recover off the Salida Del Sol,
-trying to climb to the other side. -[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
-[clapping] This is awesome! -[Xavier] Oh, no, no, no, no.
-[Jerry] This is awesome. -[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] Will it be The Usos?
Will it be The Lucha Dragons?
[Jerry] Oh.
-[Michael] Oh, Kalisto and-- -[Jerry] This may be it.
-[JBL] Oh, no. -[Xavier] He's back down.
He's fallen back down, he's fallen back down.
[Michael] Jimmy… Jimmy trying to make it to the top.
-Jimmy trying to make it to the top. -[Xavier] No, no. No, no.
[Jerry] There he is, there's Big E.
[Xavier] There he is, nice.
[Michael] And now Big E back in the game for New Day.
[Xavier] See that? He's the muscle, he is--
[Jerry] And he's well-rested.
[Xavier] Big brother right there, stamina recharged.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
I think he just got outsmarted there, no matter how much stamina he has.
-Watch out. -[Michael] Oh!
-[Michael] Oh, what a-- -[Xavier] Look at that tricep meat.
-[JBL] What a blow. -[Michael] What a blow.
[Xavier] Tricep meat tearing this man to pieces.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Oh, and the ladder bounced off the top of the skull of Big E.
[Xavier] What are you looking at, uce?
What are you looking at, uce?
-No. -[Jerry] Don't tell me he's gonna do this.
[Xavier] No, do not, do not, do not!
-[Michael] Jimmy's thinking about it. -[Jerry] Oh, look at that,
-I think he's gonna. -[Xavier] Do not.
[JBL] It's a bad idea, uce.
[Jerry] There's a ladder, uce.
[JBL] Uce, that's a bad idea.
[Michael] Jimmy's going to the top rope.
-[JBL] Come on, uce. -[Xavier] No.
There's no reason to do this at all.
No, no.
-[Michael] Oh, my God! -[Jerry] Jimmy Uso from the top rope!
[Xavier] Oh.
[Michael] Driving the ladder through Big E.
[Xavier] E, come on. Where's Kofi? Oh.
[JBL] You better play your trombone.
-[Xavier] Oh. -[JBL] And it might be taps.
[Xavier] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[Michael] This is why we call TLC the WWE's version…
-[Xavier] No, no, no. -[Michael] …of Demolition Derby.
-[Jerry] Watch this. -[Michael] Because of moves like this.
[Jerry] I don't get the thinking here.
[JBL] I don't either.
-[crowd cheering] -[JBL] Oh, no.
[Jerry] That's literally sacrificing your body
and maybe sacrificing your chance to win this title.
-[Michael] Look at that, Sin Cara… -[JBL] We don't have anybody left.
[Michael] Sin Cara the only one left in the ring
-and Sin Cara-- -[Xavier] That's Kalisto, that is Kalisto!
Get them right! Sin Cara's down here on the floor, passed out.
-Oh, no. -[Michael] That is Kalisto,
-good call, Xavier. -[Xavier] No. No.
[Michael] Kalisto trying to make it now to the top…
-[Xavier] No, no, no. -[Michael] …top of that ladder
-for the tag team titles. -[Xavier] And guess what, guess what,
this match is no DQ.
[Jerry] And whether it's Kalisto-- Wait a minute.
Hey. Give it, give it. Give it back. Give it.
-[Jerry] He's got that trombone. -[Michael] And look at this.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] No!
Are you kidding me?
Kofi Kingston--
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Kalisto hit by the trombone,
-hit him in the back, Kofi took advantage. -Go, go, go, go, go.
[JBL] Xavier's right, there's no DQ.
[Jerry] This is awesome, I can't believe that Xavier Woods
just picked up that trombone…
[Michael] And now Kofi Kingston climbing the ladder.
Kofi Kingston climbing the ladder.
[Jerry] He's got it, he's there.
[Michael] Kingston's almost there,
-will The New Day retain the gold? -[Jerry] There's ladders everywhere.
That ladder's it's a little unstable.
[JBL] There's so much carnage in the ring, how can you not be unstable?
[crowd chatter]
[chanting] Kofi! Kofi! Kofi!
[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Michael] Kofi Kingston… -[bell rings]
[Michael] …and The New Day retain the tag team titles.
-[JBL] New Day rules! -[Lilian] Here are you winners and still
the WWE Tag Team Champions,
The New Day!
[Michael] New Day reigns.
[Jerry] Yeah, thanks to a thrown trombone.
Those unicorns can fly.
[Michael] What an incredible Ladders match.
-[Jerry] Oh, man. -[JBL] If you are--
[Michael] Hats off to The Usos, The Lucha Dragons,
but The New Day victorious,
thanks to Xavier Woods and his trombone.
[JBL] Somebody call the sheriff,
these boys just stole the show.
-Whoo! -Yeah!
That's right!
[JBL] What an awesome start to TLC.
-[Jerry] What a beginning. -[JBL] That was great. That was good.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Let's go back and look at the highlights of this match.
-[crowd exclaim] -[Jerry] That was two men and a camera.
Ladders were flying everywhere.
Ladders being bashed into the heads of people,
-trombones being played. -[trombone playing]
[Michael] Oh, no! Double team action from The New Day.
[Jerry] And look at Big E bench pressing the ladder too…
[Michael] And of course The Usos taking advantage.
[Jerry] I'm telling you, this thing went back and forth
so many different ways and different directions.
Watch this. Oh!
[JBL] Sometimes these matches take so much out of you,
you'll never be the same. That certainly could be the case here.
-And look at this. -[Michael] And now the Salida Del Sol
-was absolutely incredible. -[JBL] Yeah. This is incredible.
How'd these guys come up with this?
It's amazing.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] And then… -[Michael] And then this.
[Jerry] …the thrown trombone leads to the demise of a new tag team champ.
[Michael] And allows Kofi Kingston to climb the ladder…
[JBL laughs] With bodies everywhere.
[Michael] …and retain the Tag Team Championship.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
-And guys -[JBL] What a match.
[Michael] Yeah, that was just the first match tonight.
[JBL] Holy cow.
-["New Day, New Way" playing] -[crowd chatter]
[JBL] The Tag Team Champions, New Day rocks.
-Come on. Come on. Come on. -[overlapping chatter]
All day!

NXT TakeOver: London, Wednesday only on the WWE Network.
Well, coming up here tonight on WWE TLC, in fact it's next, look at this match-up.
[singer] ♪ This night ain't for the holy man ♪
♪ With the holy plan For the promised land ♪
[Jerry] Yeah, Ryback and Rusev, two of the biggest,
meanest Superstars in the WWE
and they're not gonna be in there by themselves.
[Michael] And the match doesn't concern a title but instead focuses
on a rekindled relationship growing towards marriage,
and a man caught in the crosshairs of this treacherous duo.
[Rusev] Sitting at home, injured, the WWE Universe didn't care about Rusev
but one person that stood next to me and supported me,
one person who has all my love
and all my heart.
And now, I would like to welcome this person right now
to join us in the ring.
[romantic music playing]
[Lana] When Rusev asked me to spend the rest of our lives together,
this was the happiest day of my life.
He is my Bulgarian sunshine.
[Rusev] My heart belongs only to you, Lana.
-["Meat on the Table" playing] -[Ryback] Feed me more.
I think we've all seen enough of this garbage.
This isn't some episode of Teen Wolf.
This is Monday Night Raw
and The Big Guy is hungry.
[crowd cheering] Feed me more!
[Michael] Oh, we have a scheduled match.
Ryback, The Big Guy,
set to take on Rusev as Lana looks on.
[Byron] This will be interesting to see what this reunion does for Rusev.
I mean, you know, with Lana in his corner, he was undefeated for a year.
[Michael] Uh-oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, guys.
Rusev was driven into the steel steps
and I believe the corner of that step caught Lana right on the thigh.
[Rusev] I can always have another match…
[Michael] The referee at a count of eight and…
[Rusev] …but I can never have anybody like Lana.
[Michael] Rusev out to the aid of his fiancée
-and he's gonna get counted out. -[bell rings]
[Michael] You think Rusev is blaming Ryback for what happened to Lana?
[JBL] Yeah, I don't think Rusev thinks that's an accident.
He definitely is blaming Ryback.
I know Rusev might not completely agree with me but, Ryback,
I know you didn't mean to hurt me last week.
You are not that kind of man.
It was simply an accident and I forgive you.
[Rusev] But in token for my love for Lana,
next time I see Ryback,
I'm gonna crush him.
[dramatic music playing]
[Michael] That's the reason for the rematch tonight.
And now, Rusev just trying to stay away from Ryback.
[crowd chatter]
My leg!
Oh, my God! My leg!
[JBL] Ryback ran right into Lana.
Get away!
-[JBL] She's hurt. -[Jerry] And Ryback is trying to--
-Get away. -[Michael] Oh, and from behind, Rusev.
Ryback was trying to show some compassion
[Rusev] Ryback is a coward!
He cannot stand in this ring with me.
He's gotta go to the one that I care the most.
-[Byron] Lana looks fine now. -[JBL] It's a setup.
[Rusev] I can always have another match,
but I can never have anybody like Lana.
[dramatic music playing]
[Rusev] Rusev udrya! Rusev machka!
["Roar of the Lion" playing]
[bell rings]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied by Lana,
from Bulgaria, weighing in at 138 kilos,
"The Bulgarian Brute" Rusev!
[Michael] Now, Rusev and Lana have not been happy about,
you know, Ryback's actions…
[Jerry] You think they're not happy now, wait until they get married.
[Michael] …as of late.
There's various tweets that were sent out this week, first by Rusev.
He said, "Not much time left for you, Ryback."
"You made a mistake and tonight I #DoItForLana."
Lana then sent out a tweet saying, "My Bulgarian Brute will #Crush
a pathetic excuse for a man, the Ryback."
"He's the most amazing man in the world."
"He is my hero."
["Roar of the Lion" playing]
[JBL] It's an incredible modern day love story.
[Jerry] I'd like to give these two a little advice before they tie the knot.
You gotta make sure you're compatible.
-[Michael] You don't think they are? -[Ryback] Feed me more.
-["Meat on the Table" playing] -[Jerry] Let me tell you.
-[crowd cheering] -[Ryback] Feed me more.
[Jerry] Now, this guy is not compatible with anybody.
-[Ryback] Feed me more. -[Jerry] And, of course,
that's a good thing.
[Ryback] Feed me more.
-Wake up. It's feeding time. -[Eden] His opponent, from Las Vegas,
weighing in at 291 pounds,
Ryback!
[Michael] As Ryback gets set to take on Rusev,
I'd like you to watch your favorite TV shows and movies online with Hulu

[Jerry] The one thing you can do to see if you're compatible,
check your zodiac signs.
[JBL] How does that work? Does that work?
[Jerry] Well, yeah. I'm just telling you,
my first wife and I, she was a water sign and I was an earth sign.
Together, we make mud.
You gotta make sure you're compatible.
[Michael] Ryback said on the SmackDown Fallout Show on wwe.com
that he hopes the best version of Rusev
that shows up is the dominant force
-that went undefeated for a year… -[bell rings]
[Michael] …and not a man who hides behind his woman,
as Rusev goes right after Ryback.
-[crowd chatter] -[grunting]
Stop. Come on.
-[Michael] This will be a battle of… -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] …two brutes, so to speak.
"The Big Guy" Ryback, with a shoulder tackle.
[JBL] I saw the Boston Bruin outside the lobby.
I think they modeled it after Ryback.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Look at the physique of this guy.
-[Jerry] Oh, look out! -[Michael] Oh, driving Rusev
right into the barricade.
-Feed… -[crowd] …me more!
-Two. -[crowd] Feed me more!
-Feed me more! -[Michael] Ryback not happy
that Lana feigned the injury last week,
allowing Rusev to do The Accolade on him outside of the ring.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] Look at this.
[Jerry] The Big Guy coming off the top.
[crowd chatter]
Get up.
[Michael] And there's the power.
[Jerry] That's another way to get up, right there.
[Michael] Flat out power, Rusev pressing--
I should say Ryback pressing Rusev.
And now The Big Guy with a splash, cover, hooks the leg.
Is it enough? And a kickout.
[Jerry] I think it's impressive, but those moves were a little early
to put away a guy like Rusev.
Get it back in the middle.
Let's go back in the middle.
Come on now, you gotta get him back. Let's go.
-One. -[Jerry] You have to wear this brute down.
Come on now. Bring it out of there.
[Michael] That's what Ryback's trying to do,
extremely focused here tonight at WWE TLC.
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Watch out here.
[JBL] Uh-oh. Two can… two can play the power game.
-Oh! -[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Oh! Man, Rusev dropping Ryback right over the top rope.
[Jerry] Look at that outfit Lana's wearing.
She's like a French maid or a Swiss maid out there.
-One, two, three, four. -[Jerry] I think she's Russian.
Come on. Break the hold. Get it all the way over.
-One, two… -[Michael] And look at Rusev…
-…three, four. -[Michael] …assaulting Ryback.
Get him out of there.
[Michael] Lana does claim that-- Look at him. Rusev…
[Jerry] I'm afraid Ryback's getting his wish, ain't he?
[JBL] He certainly is.
He wanted that Rusev that's undefeated for a year here at WWE.
Ryback has got him.
[Jerry] Be careful what you wish for here in the WWE.
[Michael] To top it all,
long time talking about what a great athlete Rusev is,
the power, the speed, the agility, the background,
so many different aspects of the sport.
[JBL] Trained in SAMBO, trained in sumo, trained in jiu-jitsu.
He's a world-class weightlifter.
-[Michael] He's like, "This is--" -[JBL] This is an incredible athlete.
This Rusev is.
[Michael] And Rusev just told Lana, "This is for you."
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] You know trust is a big thing in a relationship too.
[JBL] Yeah.
[Jerry] Yeah. I'm just saying. You know, if you don't trust your girlfriend,
how do you know that she's not gonna tell your wife?
[Michael] Hey, Lana did say in a very special interview with her and, uh, Rusev
on wwe.com, that she's totally in love and committed to Rusev,
that she's saving herself for marriage, for Rusev.
[JBL] It's like a modern day Shakespearean tale.
-[Michael] They're gonna have-- -[Jerry] Or Tim Tebow.
[Michael] They're gonna have two weddings, by the way.
One in Bulgaria and one in Russia.
The one in Bulgaria apparently goes on for weeks
and Rusev's gonna pay a lot of money.
[Jerry] I've had three weddings. I'd definitely advise against that.
-[grunting] -[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] Ryback driven right back down to one knee.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Rusev's so dangerous.
Oh, suplex blocked by Ryback.
[JBL] A little test of strength here.
-Who's gonna win it? -[Jerry] Oh.
[crowd chatter]
-[Michael] And Rusev -[Jerry] Whoa.
-[Michael] Yeah! -[Jerry] Oh, man.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Rusev is not used to being out-powered by anybody.
[Jerry] Lana looks a little concerned right now.
[Michael] Lana extremely concerned
as the Ryback is up and getting hungry.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Oh, that flying shoulder tackle.
[crowd cheering]
[grunts]
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Ryback catches Rusev right on the side of the face.
A dropkick by Ryback.
[Jerry] Man.
[Michael] And Ryback for the win, kickout at two.
[Jerry] You think Ryback would be invited to the reception?
[JBL] They wouldn't have enough catering.
Finish it.
-[JBL] Oh. -[Jerry] Ready to finish it right now.
[Michael] He might have to crash the wedding if this keeps up.
[crowd chatter]
-[Jerry] Oh. -[JBL] Rusev knew what was coming,
sat down on that move to block it.
[Michael] Ryback sidesteps Rusev. Rusev went face-first into the turnbuckle.
And now, what's The Big Guy gonna do here?
-[Jerry] Oh, boy. -[Michael] Ryback going up top.
[Jerry] It's always scary when a guy the size of Ryback goes to the top rope.
-[Michael] The crossbody, lateral press. -One, two!
[Michael] Rusev at two.
[Jerry] He almost had him, but that didn't work.
He didn't crash the party.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Feed me more!
Feed me more! Feed me more!
[Michael] Looking for the big Meathook and Rusev…
-[JBL] Atta boy, Rusev. -[Michael] …wisely rolling out the way.
[Jerry] That is the brilliance of the Bulgarian super athlete.
Wait a minute.
The brilliance might be turning into cowardice.
I think he's leaving.
-[Michael] No, he's not. -[groaning]
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Just taking a break, King.
[JBL] No, Ryback's not gonna let him.
[Jerry] Break's over. Break time is over.
-[grunts] -[crowd chatter]
[Lana screams]
[Michael] Oh.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[crowd chatter]
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Oh, Rusev with a superkick!
-[Jerry] Not again. -Yes!
Yes!
[crowd chatter]
-[Lana] Yes! -[Michael] And Lana's done it again.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And Rusev caught Ryback flush on the chin.
[Jerry] Look at Lana. She's so happy, so proud of herself.
-[Michael] Cover, hook to the leg. -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Kickout at two.
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Well, not the desired outcome this time, Lana.
[JBL] It would certainly change the momentum of the match.
Rusev.
[screams]
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Going for The Accolade.
[Jerry] Yeah. Here comes that same Rusev that we saw undefeated for so long.
Wait a minute.
Look at this.
[Michael] And Ryback trying to fight out,
not allowing The Accolade to get locked… to get locked in, back to his feet.
-Ryback-- -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Oh, no. He was going for that Shell Shocked.
[JBL] And now he's gonna have it locked in.
[Michael] And now The Accolade.
Ryback may be out.
Come on now, talk to me Ryback. Are you gonna tap or no?
[Michael] Ryback may not be able to tap out 'cause he may have passed out.
No way for Ryback to go.
Come on, talk to me, huh?
-That's it. Ring the bell. -[bell rings]
[Michael] And Ryback's out. Rusev wins it.
-["Roar of the Lion" playing] -Rusev, let go. That's it.
You won, break it.
Break the hold. Come on, break it.
[Michael] And you can credit Lana with the assist…
-[Jerry] Right. -[Michael] …as Rusev relentless,
refusing to release The Accolade on Ryback.
[JBL] She got hurt.
-[Michael] Oh, right. She made the assist. -[Eden] Here is your winner by submission,
Rusev!
[Michael] Well, let's show you what John's talking about.
[Jerry] Yeah. Let's just see if Lana got hit or not.
-[Michael] Did she, or didn't she? -[JBL] Look at this.
-[Lana screams] -[Jerry] Okay.
[JBL] That proves it right there.
[Michael] Oh, and it appeared--
-[JBL] Case closed. -[JBL] You have no compassion.
-Neither one of you have either-- -[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute.
Did you see that, JBL?
Ryback didn't hit Lana.
Lana hit Ryback!
[crowd chatter]
-[JBL] Are you sure? -[Michael] Yeah.
Look at Lana's reaction now,
feigning the injury and allows the superkick
to be delivered from Rusev to Ryback.
[JBL] I didn't see that, Cole. You guys have absolutely no compassion.
What kind of human being are you two?
-[grunts] -[crowd cheering]
[JBL] Team Lana. Almost got run over by this beast, Ryback.
[Jerry] Are you kidding me? You were talking about trust in a relationship,
I wouldn't trust that Lana as far as I can throw Rusev.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] It's a modern day love story.
It's The Bulgarian Brute, you hear me? Lana brings out his soft side.
-That's it. Ring the bell. -[bell rings]
[JBL] Now, look at that, it's fantastic.
["Roar of the Lion" playing]
[JBL] That's why he's a national hero in Bulgaria.
He's a multilayered man.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] What a sweet kiss.
[Jerry retches]
[JBL] Okay. Oh, come on guys. Go somewhere else.
[JBL] How sweet.
["Roar of the Lion" continues]
[crowd cheering]
Hey, I was looking for you earlier.
I just got done telling The Usos.
They said… uh, they said it's on us to hold it down for the family now.
I'm down with that.
How are you feeling?
-I'm feeling good. -I'm excited, man.
-Me too. -I'm telling you right now,
I just picture myself on the top of that ladder
popping each snap of that WWE Championship,
taking it back.
And I just picture stupid, little Sheamus under that ladder.
But you wanna know what really excites me?
The things that I have to do to get him under that ladder.
I'm willing to break every single one of these knuckles on his head.
I'm willing to break every rung of every ladder with his head
until I'm the last man standing on the top of that ladder.
But win, lose, or draw,
tonight is about making a statement.
Hey, I like that.
But let me tell you about the vision that I had.
At the end of tonight, us standing in the middle of the ring,
champions, Intercontinental Champion,
WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
-That's the statement. -[crowd cheering]
I haven't visualized the after party yet, but I think we gotta make it really good.
[chuckles]
That's one hell of a way to end the year.
That's right.
Hold it down.
Well, guys, will that dream become a reality tonight?
I don't know, but I wanna be at the after party if it does.
Well, Roman has been very good at coming really close.
He's, uh, the WWE's bridesmaid.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, switching gears now,
I wanna talk about the situation between "The Real American" Jack Swagger
and the United States Champion, Alberto Del Rio.
We're gonna take you back to Raw this past Monday night
where Jack Swagger was in a battle against Stardust.
Now, watch Swagger here, King.
He's gonna put on the patented Patriot Lock.
[Jerry] Yeah. And if it just been the two of them out there,
I think Swagger would've had this match won.
-[bell ringing] -[Jerry] But watch.
-Oh! -[Michael] Del Rio with a chair
to the spine, and there's a reason for that.
That is because Alberto Del Rio will face Jack Swagger
in a Chairs Match.
-And there you see the chairs lined up. -[bell rings]
-[Jerry] Oh, my God. -[Eden] The following is a Chairs match
and it is for the United States Championship.
In this match, all chairs are legal
and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
[Jerry] Did they take all the chairs from the front row to ringside here?
["Realeza" playing]
[Eden] Introducing first, from San Luis Potosi, Mexico
weighing in at 239 pounds,
he is the United States Champion,
Alberto Del Rio!
[Michael] And, of course, no Zeb Colter with Alberto Del Rio tonight,
falling out last week with some very poignant remarks
as Alberto Del Rio joined us on the social media lounge
in the TLC kickoff show earlier on tonight.
He said that MexAmerica was a failed concept
because of a, quote unquote, "Idiotic man named Zeb Colter
who doesn't know a thing about Alberto Del Rio and his culture."
He said, "Long live The League of Nations,
MexAmerica is done."
["Realeza" continue playing]
[JBL] What a great champion right there in Alberto Del Rio.
["Patriot" playing]
[Eden] Introducing the challenger, from Perry, Oklahoma
weighing in at 275 pounds,
he is "A Real American"
Jack Swagger.
We the people.
[screams]
[Michael] How ready is Jack Swagger
for this match tonight for the United States Championship?
A bit earlier today, Jack Swagger offered this exclusive interview
on WWE's Facebook page.
No one deserves to be treated how Alberto treated Zeb last week.
Zeb taught me about a message. He made me believe in that message.
That message grew into a movement and united the WWE Universe.
I'll never forget that.
So, I will not only be fighting for the United States Championship tonight,
I'll be fighting for Zeb Colter.
And every time I hit Del Rio with the chair,
it's gonna be for Zeb Colter,
it's gonna be for the WWE Universe,
and it's gonna be for everyone who stands up,
puts their hand over their heart and says, "We the people."
[Michael] And then Zeb Colter would respond on Twitter
by sending out this tweet a little bit earlier on,
"You cannot defeat the strength of American resolve,
the resolve of #RealAmericans.
Beware @VivaDelRio. #HateFreeZone."
["Patriot" continue playing]
[Michael] So, this is a Chairs match for the United States Championship.
Chairs are legal.
-You must win via pinfall or submission. -[bell ringing]
-[Jerry] Look at this. -[Michael] And Del Rio
right in front of us, grabbing a steel chair.
Swagger on the other side and a standoff has started.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Might as well start off with chair in hand.
[Michael] John, in your opinion, who has the, uh, advantage in this match?
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[steel chairs banging]
[JBL] I think it's on Jack Swagger.
[Michael] Oh.
[Jerry] Why is that?
[JBL] Because--
[Jerry] Because he's standing up for what's right,
he's showing a little loyalty to Zeb Colter
and not a backstabber like Alberto Del Rio?
Is that why you think he's the favorite?
[JBL] No, because this poor-bred country boy
was raised fighting in a barn
and Alberto Del Rio is a regal man, an aristocrat.
He's not used to fighting with chairs.
He's used to having his butler get a chair for him.
We the people.
[Michael] And Swagger right in the face of Del Rio
and then bouncing him off the chair.
[crowd chanting] We the people!
[Jerry] He needed to have a seat.
[Michael] These two men have had many battles
over the past couple of years.
At one point, they met at WrestleMania for the World Championship.
Alberto Del Rio returned to WWE,
defeated John Cena for the United States Championship.
-Oh, man. -[Jerry] No.
[Michael] Chair right to the throat of Swagger.
Incredible, the fact that Del Rio went on to beat Cena that same night.
[JBL] Well, his first match back…
-[Jerry] This may be it. -[Michael] And a kickout.
[JBL] …for that United States Championship,
Like, we knew John Cena, if had this open challenge long enough,
somebody's gonna come along and beat him.
It just makes sense. He won't stave off the game this weekend.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And now it's Del Rio,
he's gonna dissect Swagger.
[Jack screaming]
[JBL] First chair shot.
[Michael] One of the things, King, we've learned over the years
about Alberto Del Rio is how vicious this man can be.
Bona fide mean streak.
[Jerry] Yeah. Even in bed he's laid awake for the last few nights
just thinking of things that he can do with a metal chair like this.
[Michael] Well, he's used his patented Cross Armbreaker
to try to end the careers of a number of superstars here in WWE.
Swagger is well aware of that.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Swagger, of course, with the Patriot Lock submission.
[Jerry] Watch out here. Oh, block stop. Oh, no.
[Michael] Backstabber.
Is this enough for Del Rio to retain the championship?
And Swagger just manages to stay in it.
[JBL] Both these guys have had impressive careers
here at the WWE, both had impressive amateur careers.
[Michael] And we know the pedigree of Jack Swagger, King.
[Jerry] How's their chair career been?
[JBL] We're about to find out.
-[Michael] Oh! -[Jerry] Whoo.
[JBL] Swagger won more matches
by pinfall than anybody in NCAA history in a calendar year.
[Michael] Oh!
[JBL] They don't allow chairs on a wrestling mat.
[Michael] And I wonder how those chairs feel after that Backstabber.
[Jerry] Hmm, hmm, hmm.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Alberto, he may be used to butlers getting him chairs
but he knows what to do with one once he's got it for him.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] He's gonna end this thing now.
[crowd chanting] Si! Si! Si!
[yells]
-[Jerry] Oh! Whoa. -[Michael] Oh!
[Jerry] And that was for Zeb Colter, I can assure you.
[Michael] Del Rio never saw it coming.
[Jerry] Right between the eyes.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] It'll rattle your brain. Where is he gonna go from here?
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Missed that clothesline-- Oh, and dished out one of his own.
Another, now Swagger trying to get some momentum going here.
Get a chair, Jack.
Oh.
[JBL] No, he doesn't need a chair.
[Jerry] You're right.
[yelling]
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] I'm just saying what Zeb Colter is thinking.
[crowd cheering]
-We the people. -[crowd chanting] We the people.
[Michael] And Swagger looking for the Swagger Bomb.
Del Rio got his-- Uh-oh. He went for his feet there.
[Jerry] That's right.
[Michael] Jack Swagger looking for the Patriot Lock.
Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. That's vintage Del Rio.
And here's the cover.
Is it enough to retain the United States title?
Swagger at two and a half.
It was two. That was two, Alberto.
[Michael] Zeb's got this on CD, he watches this on his computer.
[Jerry chuckles]
[JBL] Like the cardio machine from the gym?
[Jerry] He pulls over to the side of the road while he watches.
[Jerry] Oh.
-[audience member 1] Alberto! -[audience member 2] Get up.
[Jerry] Of course there are a lot more chairs outside the ring
-than there are in it. [chuckles] -[Michael] Oh my God.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
[JBL] Looks like an old Terry Funk move.
You just pile all the chairs that you can in the building on your opponent.
[crowd chatter]
-[Jerry] Oh, yeah. -[Michael] Goodness.
[Jerry] Good grief.
[JBL] Hard to imagine… bigger than Terry Funk.
[crowd chatter]
-[Jerry] Oh, no, no. -[Michael] Good God.
[audience member 3] One more! One more! One more!
[JBL] And that is what makes Alberto Del Rio
Mexico's greatest export
and now our United States Champion, that mean streak right there.
[Jerry] If Jack Swagger survives that assault,
that makes him pretty mean too.
[Michael] And Del Rio's gotta pin Swagger here.
[JBL] I don't know if he survived it or not.
[Michael] Well he did for that.
In that moment, Swagger did.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] I'm gonna count the number of chairs that Alberto Del Rio
just threw on Jack Swagger, and hit him with every one of them.
I got 14.
Si! Si! Si!
[crowd chanting] Si! Si! Si! Si!
[Michael] And the Cross Armbreaker.
Swagger able to counter.
He knew it was coming
and Del Rio now shoulder-first into the post.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[JBL] New United States Champion?
[Michael] Oh, almost had him.
So close for Swagger.
[JBL] What a huge victory this will be for Jack Swagger
if he's able to pull it off.
[Michael] Now, Swagger with a steel chair in his hand,
Del Rio's gonna be in deep trouble.
Jack Swagger starting to build momentum. He's starting to feel it.
[Jerry] Hammer that back like a tent stake. Get him.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
[Michael] Look at Del Rio, trying to beg off.
[Jerry] And, yeah. Listen. Listen, JBL. Now the risk is, he's trying to fake it.
Just stop it now.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Uh-oh. Oh, my goodness.
Swagger wants to do some damage to that ankle.
-[Michael] Oh, Patriot Lock with a chair. -[Jerry] Look at this. Oh!
[Michael] Patriot Lock with a chair.
[Jerry] Alberto's gonna have to tap out now.
[Michael] Del Rio's got nowhere to go!
Del Rio's got nowhere to go. Remember, the ropes won't break it.
There's no disqualification.
Del Rio back to the center of the ring.
Patriot Lock with a chair.
Del Rio just trying to reach for--
now trying to crawl his way out of the ring.
[Jerry] He's doing anything he can,
grabbing anything within arm's reach to help himself.
-Get that-- -[JBL] How brave is Alberto Del Rio
-not tapping out. -[Michael] Oh, come on.
[Jerry] Keep applying that pressure, Jack.
[Michael] He's gonna have a broken ankle if he's not careful here.
[JBL] The incredible valor of Alberto Del Rio.
[Michael] Look at Swagger and Del Rio just falls out of the ring.
[JBL] He's a man of fortitude.
[Michael] But has the damage been done?
[Jerry] I assure you, he's gonna have trouble walking now.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] He's got-- Oh, watch out.
[Michael] Oh, Del Rio with a chair right to the gut.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Alberto grabbing a chair from underneath the ring. Oh.
See if he can climb to the top now.
[Michael] Jack better turn around.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Jack better not turn around.
[Jerry] No. Here we go.
[Michael] I believe he's caught. Del Rio caught by Swagger.
Swagger off the slam.
[Jerry] Cover him.
-Beat him with a chair. -Let's go!
-We the people. -[crowd chanting] We the people.
[JBL] Swagger went for this earlier, countered by Del Rio…
-[Michael] Swagger Bomb. Cover. -[JBL] …but was hit that time.
-One, two. -[Michael] For the-- No!
[Jerry] I thought we had a new United States Champion.
-[JBL] That was close. -[Michael] So close for Jack Swagger.
[Jerry] Come on, Jack. Stay focused. You got him on the run.
[Michael] Swagger can't believe it.
Another Swagger Bomb connected,
and at two and a half here, Del Rio manages to kick out.
[Jerry] It should've been the victory for Swagger right there,
but maybe these chairs will do the trick.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] I think Swagger is gonna pile up those chairs.
[Jerry] What is he doing? Oh, I think--
[Michael] I'm not sure what he's gonna do.
[Jerry] I think Alberto used 14.
[crowd chatter]
-[Jerry] Now listen-- -[Michael] No.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Oh, no.
Pile of chairs in the middle of the ring.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] And Swagger not on the--
Oh, look at this. Cross Armbreaker. Cross Armbreaker for Del Rio
has got him locked in on the ropes.
Got him locked into the ropes here.
[Jerry] Oh, look at the way Swagger's arm
-is torqued here. -Come on, Swagger.
[Michael] The referee doesn't count because there's no disqualification.
-Swagger's in trouble. And manages to-- -[Jerry] He's able to get free.
That's because Del Rio was only able to hold on to his arm with one of his hands.
If he's been able to get both hands on that grip,
that would've been it for Swagger.
Oh.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And Swagger doesn't want to be there, Del Rio unloading.
[Jerry] Please.
[Michael] Like Big Papi there.
[Jerry laughs] Batter up.
[crowd chatter]
-[JBL] Jack Swagger's looking bad. -[Michael] Wow.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Man, I love Alberto Del Rio and Swagger has no clue where he's at.
What an incredible champion.
-Look at this. Look at this. -[Michael] Oh, no, no.
-We've seen him do this… -[JBL] Here we go.
[Michael] …but not with chairs underneath his opponent.
-[JBL] Here he is. -[Michael] Oh!
[JBL] Clock just struck midnight.
Good night, Jack.
One, two, three.
-[Michael] Del Rio wins the Chairs match. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] He retains the championship.
["Realeza" playing]
[Eden] Here is your winner
and still the United States Champion,
Alberto Del Rio.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] Now, just how great a champion is Alberto Del Rio?
[Michael] Alberto Del Rio tweeted out earlier today
that this is one of the most physical nights of the year,
a night made for a real champion.
And he promised it was gonna be rough night for Jack Swagger
and indeed it was.
[Jerry] Del Rio has taken so much punishment.
He can't even climb up the second rope to show off that championship.
[JBL] Right. He can't even stand.
[Jerry] Watch this. This is how it all went down.
-[Michael] Oh! -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Jack Swagger smashed into those chairs.
Every ounce of the weight of Alberto Del Rio…
-[Michael] Look at this. -[Jerry] …coming down on his chest.
Oh, man.
[JBL] That is a thing of beauty.
[Jerry] Not if you're Jack Swagger.
[JBL] He'll wake up tomorrow.
["Realeza" continues]
El Campeon!
[JBL] There you go, Alberto, standing on his own feet now.
Still your United States Champion.
Viva del Rio.

["Wicked Ones" playing]
[Michael] And this is WWE TLC
as we welcome you to Boston, Massachusetts.
We're at the TD Garden tonight,
sold out, 14,903 WWE fans on hand.
[Jerry] I think two other guys sneaked in over there, 14,905.
[Michael] Well, coming up next ladies and gentlemen,
it is an Eight-Man Tag Team Elimination Tables match.
-On one side, Team ECW -[JBL laughs]
[Michael] The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer, and Rhyno.
On the other side, the four members of the Wyatt Family.
And this all began the night after SummerSlam.
["We're Comin' Down" playing]
[Michael] Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?
[JBL] Oh, no.
[Michael] The most decorated team in WWE history,
the nine-time WWE Tag Team Champions.
Oh, no.
3D! Dudley Death Drop.
Bubba Ray Dudley, Devon Dudley,
The Dudley Boyz are back.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Bray] Dudley Boyz will pay for this.
We will break them in half
and show the world their insides.
[Michael] Harper and Erick Rowan,
offering D-Von as a sacrifice to Bray Wyatt.
And Sister Abigail.
[sinister laughter]
By doing what you did to The Dudley Boyz,
you put your names on these tables.
So Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family,
we are ready to fight at any given moment.
[Bray] I would like to accept your little challenge,
but you should be more careful
inviting the devil in your backyard.
You are outmanned.
You are outgunned.
Brother, you got your family and we got ours.
["Alone" playing]
[Michael] Tommy Dreamer.
[JBL] Former ECW Champion and Hardcore legend
[Michael] Rhyno has joined the team.
[Byron] We got another soldier in the Extreme army.
[Michael] And another former ECW Champion.
The Dudleys flanked by Dreamer and Rhyno heading toward the ring.
And now, here we go, the brawl's on.
What a battle this is gonna be Sunday
where the Wyatts and Team ECW meet
in an Eight-man Tag Team Elimination Tables match.
[crowd cheering]
Please welcome my guest at this time,
the Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno.
[crowd cheering]
Guys, based on your extreme past,
do you think that this Tables match gives you an advantage over the Wyatts?
You would think that this would give us an advantage,
but as you've seen, as WWE Universe has seen,
the Wyatts have done to the four of us what
no men have ever done to us.
I mean, we've been set on fire,
we've been put through barbed wire,
we've been put through tables.
Hell, somebody even tried to pull out D-Von's teeth
with a pair of pliers once.
I ain't just saying that, it actually happened.
Tonight's gonna be war
and who better to go to war with than The Man Beast
and the Heart of Hardcore, Tommy Dreamer.
When I got a call from Bubba and D-Von to stand by their side one more time,
I knew we were gonna go face-to-face with the Face of Fear.
But when you're extreme,
you don't know what we've seen.
We fight together, we fall together.
We get up together,
and we inflict more pain together.
And everybody knows we can take a whole lot of punishment
and we keep ticking,
because age is just a number.
And it's time to do it once again.
You know, Jo,
we're gonna hear the greatest sound in the world,
and that is cracking and breaking of tables
courtesy of the Wyatt Family.
And you know, it's not gonna be just one, not just two or three,
but damn it, it's going to be all four.
And I'm gonna tell you, when this is done,
they all gonna know exactly why
thou shall not mess with Extreme.
Oh, my brother. Oh, testify!
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
The following is an Eight-Man Tag Team Elimination Tables match.
Now, in this match, once a member of a team gets put through a table,
that team member will be eliminated.
This will continue until the first team
puts all of their opponents through a table.
They will be declared the winners.
[crowd cheering]
["Live In Fear" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Thought it interesting that some of the tables
that the Dudley Boyz decorated a couple of weeks ago
with the names of the Wyatt family have been set up here around ringside.
[JBL] You've heard the expression, "lit up like a Christmas tree,"
but I promise you, this is not exactly what you want for Christmas.
-[Jerry] No. -[JBL] These fireflies lit up
all over Boston Garden here.
What an incredible sight.
[singer] ♪ Then crawling back ♪
♪ Back to the top ♪
[JBL] This is one of the most eerie feelings I think I've ever felt, King.
This is something you got to see in person
and feel in person.
I don't think even Team Extreme, The Dudleys, and Rhyno
and Tommy Dreamer have seen anything like this.
[singer] ♪ He's broken out in love ♪
[JBL] Get ready, boys.
["Live In Fear" continues]
[singer] ♪ Like a cat without a care ♪
[Jerry] Well, you're right, JBL.
Looking at this monstrous family,
I mean, a lot of people consider Bray Wyatt to be a monster,
but without a doubt, those three he's got with him are monsters.
[JBL] These guys are huge.
Look at this whole arena lit up with the fireflies that follow Bray Wyatt.
[singer] ♪ You could find him In amongst the pigeons ♪
[song stops]
[Jerry] Oh, gosh.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Bray Wyatt must've told a lie, those horns have gotten longer.
Ugh.
I've seen gargoyles with better faces.
[JBL] Hardcore, meet Destruction.
[Michael] The new Faces of Fear.
[JBL] This is gonna be fun to watch.
I'm glad I'm not in it.
-["Tusk" playing] -[Lilian] Introducing the opponents.
First, from Detroit, Michigan,
weighing in at 295 pounds, Rhyno!
[Michael] The Man Beast actually tweets.
He sent out a tweet earlier today that said,
"These Wyatt Boys have something coming tonight at WWE TLC."
"Watch out for the tables because y'all have a #GORE coming."
[JBL] Rhyno knows how to tweet?
Or does somebody do it for him?
["Alone" playing]
[Jerry] Probably with his fists.
[Lilian] His tag team partners,
first, from Yonkers, New York,
weighing in at 265 pounds,
Tommy Dreamer.
[JBL] I bet Dreamer writes on… writes on Twitter.
[Michael] The Heart and Soul of ECW.
[JBL] There it is right there.
-[explosions] -["We're Comin' Down" playing]
[JBL] But here comes the most dominant tag team in ECW history.
[Lilian] And from Dudleyville
the team of Bubba Ray and D-Von,
the Dudley Boyz!
[Michael] You wanna talk about experience, guys?
Eighty-five years of experience on Team ECW.
Eighty-five.
[Jerry] Guys, if, you see the ring it's surrounded by tables
but ECW crew, each one had brought a table in hand.
[Michael] And this is a tag tables match at the WWE pay-per-view event
for the Dudley Boyz.
[Jerry] So many tables, so little time.
Get it on.
[crowd chanting] ECW! ECW! ECW!
ECW! ECW!
ECW! ECW! ECW!
-[Jerry] You don't see this very often. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] And here we go, a Tag Team Elimination match-up.
-And remember… -[Jerry] They have the size advantage.
[Michael] …you're eliminated when you're put through a table
and you head back to the locker room.
Once all members of a team are eliminated, it's over.
And you see Rowan and Strowman working on Rhyno.
Bray Wyatt on the other side ring with D-Von, Bubba Ray, and Luke Harper.
And Tommy Dreamer, bringing in the toys.
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. -[JBL] Here we go. Stay low.
[Michael] This is what Team Extreme is all about.
[Jerry] Those aren't-- these aren't tables.
Oh.
[JBL] Go to WWE Network and check out ECW
and see what these guys did for so long.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Michael] Kendo sticks, garbage cans. -[Jerry] Guys, look out.
Watch it here. You got Luke Harper on a table.
[Jerry] Oh, no. Oh.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd cheering]
[Bubba] Rhyno!
[Jerry] Bubba Ray is just hammering Luke Harper over here
with some garbage can and his fist.
-[Michael] Now, it's Rhyno up here-- -[Bubba] Rhyno!
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Trying to block another one.
And now with kendo stick caught,
and Strowman just clubs Dreamer to the floor.
And now tackles Rhyno.
Braun Strowman, The Black Sheep of the Wyatts,
taking out all of the members here of Team ECW.
[JBL] So much for toys.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] There is one man I wouldn't want to make angry right there.
[Jerry] Too late, he's angry.
[JBL] I think he was born angry.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] He was born big.
Bigger than a giant.
[Jerry] Do you think because of the size of him-- Oh!
Think he was difficult to discipline as a child?
[JBL] I think the doctor slapped him when he came out.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Meanwhile…
-[JBL] He may have slapped his mom… -[Jerry] Watch out. Oh.
[Michael] In the ring, Bubba Ray Dudley has set up that table.
[JBL] …for giving birth to that beast giant.
[Michael] And Braun Strowman got a-- Oh, man.
He is single-handedly taking out Team Extreme.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] Be careful what you bring to the ring,
you may get hit with it.
[Michael] Oh, and look at Bubba-- Oh, Strowman.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Has to go through a table, though, keep that in mind.
[Jerry] His foot went through but that didn't count.
-Come on! -[grunts]
[Michael] And now, the four members of Team ECW
wisely gonna target Braun Strowman.
[JBL] Trying to chop down the big General Sherman tree.
[Jerry] That's what you gotta do.
-[JBL] There he goes. -[Michael] And here is Erick Rowan.
And Rowan now…
went through a metamorphosis of sorts this week
when he shattered that white mask that he wore and debuted another one.
[Jerry] Chopping down a tree, and just when you think
you're ready to say "timber,"
here comes another mighty redwood.
[JBL] I think that was the table that had Rowan's name on it.
Kinda apropos that he should put somebody through it.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Oh, uh-oh. D-Von in trouble.
Erick Rowan, where is he gonna go, the big man?
[Jerry] You're gonna get your wish here, JBL.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Meanwhile, Rhyno from behind and he prevents…
[JBL] The table broke. Does that mean that D-Von is out?
[Michael] D-Von rolled off the table before it broke.
Oh, and there's the DDT from Tommy Dreamer.
[Jerry] A little extra push propelled Rowan too far.
[Michael] Meanwhile, Bubba Ray and D-Von gonna set up another table.
[Jerry] This is chaotic in here now. Look at this.
[Michael] Yeah, but, Rowan is the only member of the Wyatt family
left in the ring.
-[JBL] You see, King-- -[Michael] Oh, look at this, 3D.
-[Jerry] Whoa! -[Michael] Rowan eliminated.
[Lilian] Erick Rowan has been eliminated.
[Michael] And the Wyatt's now find themselves
on a four-on-three situation.
[Jerry] Man, this is gotta be what Team ECW was hoping for.
-Dreamer-- Oh! -[JBL] You better believe it.
It's now four-on-three.
This is a perfect scenario for the Team Extreme.
[Jerry] Yeah, I think they've gone south in a hurry.
[Michael] Bray Wyatt realized the desperate times now
and he and Luke Harper went right after Rhyno and D-Von and Bubba Ray.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] I wonder where Tommy Dreamer is.
He's getting destroyed by Braun Strowman on the other side of the ring.
[Jerry] Oh.
[grunts]
[crowd chatter]
Set him up. Get this table outta here.
[Michael] Harper with the Michinoku Driver.
[Jerry] Man.
[Michael] And now, Bray Wyatt followed it up with that running senton.
[Harper] Run!
[Jerry] Well, Rhyno is about
three-quarters of the way eliminated if you ask me.
[JBL] Yeah, the other 25% is coming in right now.
[Jerry] All they need to do is put a table under him.
[Michael] Did you see how easily Braun Strowman lifted up that table
and put it up the ring?
[crowd chatter]
[crowd cheering]
-[JBL] Maybe a-- -[Michael] And Bubba Ray, just attacking…
-[Jerry] Hey. -[Michael] …Strowman from behind.
[JBL] Bubba is fighting for his life.
[Jerry] Strowman didn't see that coming.
[Michael] Hey, listen, these Team ECW members
have been fighting for their lives, their careers…
-[JBL] You better believe it. -[Michael] …the whole career, John.
[JBL] They don't come any tougher than these four guys,
on these ECW Hardcore legends.
[Jerry] Oh.
[JBL] Every one of them.
[Michael] Rhyno--
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Rhyno taking Harper and Bray Wyatt out.
Uh-oh. Belly-to-belly from Rhyno.
[Jerry] If he'd only threw him through the tables.
-Maybe here it goes. -[Michael] And one to Bray.
-[JBL] Right on his head. -[Jerry] Close.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Is it Gore time?
[JBL] This would make it four-on-two.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Oh, Bray Wyatt.
[Jerry] Oh, my gosh.
[Michael] Talk about a collision. And now, Luke Harper--
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Rhyno through the table.
[Lilian] Rhyno has been eliminated.
[Michael] So now, we're three-on-three.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And now D-Von Dudley,
taking it to Luke Harper with those shoulder tackles.
[Jerry] Oh.
Come on!
[Jerry] Yeah.
D-Von fired up now.
Going to get a table?
[Michael] No, he's going to the top.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Luke Harper right after him.
Uh-oh.
[Michael] Look at this, John. Look at this.
[JBL] Uh-oh.
[Michael] Luke Harper doesn't wanna be up there.
[JBL] Looking a little like Hawk and Animal. [laughs]
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] All we needed was Paul Ellering at ringside.
[Jerry] And look at Luke Harper, frozen.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Now Bubba Ray-- Oh, and Strowman taken down.
[Jerry] Bubba Ray is determined to take Braun Strowman down.
[Michael] Meanwhile, D-Von determined to take out Bray and Luke.
[JBL] I think the only chance they have is to get rid of everybody else
and leave Braun Strowman for last.
-[Jerry] Yeah, as long as-- -[Michael] 'Cause I think
it's gonna take all three of them, if they could get rid of Braun Strowman.
[crowd chanting] We want tables!
-We want tables! -[Jerry] We want more tables.
[JBL] Yeah, it's good thing they're chanting that,
it's a Tables match.
[crowd chanting] We want tables!
[Michael] D-Von trying to set the table all by himself.
[Jerry] Oh, he got plenty of experience with tables. I mean, no problem.
[JBL] He better have plenty of experience with this.
-No! -[Michael] None at all.
[JBL] Big… [chuckles]
[Michael] Oh, no, D-Von through the table.
[JBL] D-Von.
[Lilian] D-Von has been eliminated.
[Michael] It is now a three-on-two advantage for the Wyatts.
[JBL] Bubba just lost a partner
that he had won nine WWE Tag Team Championships with.
-[Michael] Bubba and Dreamer remain. -[JBL] That is a huge blow.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Probably.
[Michael] And now Harper, Strowman, and Wyatt
confronting Bubba Ray and Dreamer.
[Jerry] This is, uh… It has gone from bad to worse, guys.
[JBL] Yes.
Bubba Dudley didn't have an ounce of back-up in there but he is…
-[Jerry] Wait a minute. -[Michael] Yeah. Here we go, Bubba
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Oh, wait a minute. -[JBL] Oh, man.
[Jerry] What a match. Look at this.
[JBL] Like a big ol' Bruce Lee in camouflage.
[Michael] Never say die for Team Extreme.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Strowman over the top rope.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Watch out guys, they're little too close for comfort over here.
[Michael] And that table's got Strowman's name on it.
[JBL] Now that's that huge, oversized table.
[audience member] Go on, throw him!
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] Strowman driven shoulder-first into the steps
but he's back to his feet already.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Now what? Oh.
-[Michael] Oh, no. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
They got a cheese grater?
[JBL] Tommy is not known for his diet.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Great idea, guys.
-[Michael] Yeah, bury Strowman. -[JBL] They buried--
they buried Strowman underneath all those tables.
[Michael] And then turn your attention to the other two members.
[JBL] That is-- That's great strategy.
[Jerry] Oh.
[JBL laughs]
Old age and treachery beats youth most of the time.
[Michael] Oh, no. Dreamer planted.
[JBL] Unless "youth" is a monster.
[Jerry laughs]
[crowd chatter]
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] One thing about right now is it's two-on-two with Strowman--
[Michael] Oh, Dreamer. Man.
[JBL] Oh, that's it.
[Lilian] Tommy Dreamer has been eliminated.
[Michael] And Bubba Ray finds himself in a three-on-one situation.
Ever the underdog, Bubba Ray Dudley trying to do something to give himself hope.
[Jerry] Well, there's something.
[JBL] Yeah.
[Jerry] You got to get some tables.
Forget that kendo stick, get a table.
[JBL] Welcome to Little Bighorn, Bubba.
I have a feeling, this maybe your last stand.
[Jerry] Oh, no.
Sister Abigail.
-Oh! -[crowd cheering]
[JBL laughing]
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] That's a Hardcore legend for a reason.
[Michael] He survives.
[JBL] He certainly does.
One half of the most decorated tag team in history.
[Jerry] Sister Abigail met up with that Cousin Kendo there.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Bubba Ray is thinking, that's bad.
[JBL] That's real bad.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Bubba has got one table set up.
-[JBL] What is he look-- -[Michael] Oh, no.
[JBL] What is it? What is it?
[Jerry] I told you it's bad.
[Michael] It's lighter fluid-- charcoal fluid.
[Jerry] Bubba, I don't think this is a good idea.
[Michael] It's a horrible idea.
[crowd chanting] ECW! ECW! ECW!
[Jerry] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] But it may be the one chance Bubba Ray has.
[JBL laughing]
[Jerry] Oh. Guys, do you smell that? Oh, man.
[JBL] You're gonna feel it in just a minute,
Bubba lights that on fire…
[Michael] Oh, no.
Strowman.
-The Black Sheep as the Wyatts' win. -[bell ringing]
["Live In Fear" playing]
[Lilian] Here are your winners, the Wyatt Family.
[Michael] A valiant effort by Team Extreme.
[JBL] Incredibly valiant effort by the ECW Hardcore legends.
[singer] ♪ Catching flies ♪
[Michael] But welcome to the new Face of Fear.
[singer] ♪ In his mouth… ♪
[JBL] It ain't just ECW, they're just legends.
Don't strike a match.
Bubba Dudley is coming in with lighter fluid.
[Jerry] Not kidding.
[singer] ♪ Then crawling back… ♪
[Jerry] Watch this. You thought Bubba had…
-[JBL] Look at this. -[Jerry] …put that lighter fluid down,
let me tell you--
[JBL] I'm glad he didn't light it-- try to light that table.
[Jerry] Look at Strowman. Oh, man.
[bell ringing]
[JBL] We'd have had us a barbecue Bubba if he had lit that table.
["Live In Fear" continues]
[Jerry] Oh, boy, up he goes and…
-[JBL] That is… -[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Jerry] A mountain of a man, Braun Strowman.
Well, it will be a happy family reunion for the Wyatts.
[Michael] You know, before every pay-per-view,
now we have a kickoff show hosted by an all-star panel.
Let's join our own, Renee Young.
Thank you very much, Michael.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the TLC kickoff panel.
We have Corey Graves,
Byron Saxton, and Booker T.
That is.
Gentlemen, tonight has been a night of destruction,
just as it promised it would be. I can't believe what we just witnessed.
[Byron] I thought we were back in South Philadelphia
-at the ECW arena for a second there. -Unreal.
But I think there's something to be said.
Hey, you gotta give the Wyatts their just due.
They brought the fight to Team ECW
and they proved why that shared ideology of destruction
works for that family.
Look, we knew tonight was gonna be full of car crashes
and demolition derby.
Watching Kalisto deliver Salida Del Sol from the top of a ladder…
-[Byron] Oh, gosh. -…was honestly one of the most
insane things I have ever seen in my life.
I think everybody in this arena held their breath collectively.
-It was terrifying. -That was definitely awesome.
But, hey, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, United States Championship,
went down just like I said it would.
Del Rio, no League of Nations, went out there and proved the point,
that he is the guy to beat in the division.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, TLC soldiers on strong here tonight,
but it is next month right here on the WWE Network,
it is officially time to start our engine
as we kick off the Road to WrestleMania.
[Booker T] Oh, yes.
[narrator] The Royal Rumble match, it starts like…
[explosions]
-[narrator] …and then it's like… -[buzzer]
[narrator] …with a lot of this…
-[Jerry] Wait, wait, wait, wait. -[Michael] This is like an all-star team.
-[narrator] …and this… -[JBL] I love it.
-[Michael] Hanging on. -[Jerry] What?
-[narrator] …and this. -[Michael] Eliminated.
-[narrator] It ends like… -[Michael] No.
[narrator] …and the winner gets…
[Michael] He's going to WrestleMania.
[narrator] WWE Royal Rumble.
Again, six weeks from tonight, only on the WWE Network,
the Road to WrestleMania begins with the Royal Rumble.
-That's right. -My favorite event of the year.
Sixty minutes. It's incredible.
I love the Royal Rumble.
It's an incredible atmosphere, incredible event.
Like you say, it what starts the Road to WrestleMania.
-Well, what I mean-- -Hey, you guys,
we've been through a lot together, most of which was your fault, JBL,
but talk about incredible, what about tonight so far?
-Yeah. TLC, incredible… -Awesome.
…including that Tables match.
I tell you, Team ECW, an incredible job fighting valiantly though,
but the Wyatts indeed the new Face of Fear.
Yeah. You gotta give it up to Bubba Dudley and all the ECW originals.
I mean, what an incredible valor-- a valiant attempt by those guys
at taking on the Wyatts.
But coming up next,
a battle for the Intercontinental Championship.
Kevin Owens defends against that man, the "Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose.
[Jerry] Oh, man. This is gonna be something, guys.
It is for the Intercontinental Championship.
And there's been a lot of bad blood.
A lot's gone down between Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose,
and it's all come to a head right now.
["Fight" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Eden] The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the Intercontinental Championship.
Introducing first from Marieville, Quebec, Canada,
weighing in at 266 pounds,
he is the Intercontinental Champion,
Kevin Owens.
["Fight" continues]
Every time I come to Boston,
all I hear about is how proud this city is
of its sports teams.
-[crowd cheering] -[Kevin] Yeah. Sports. Yeah.
In fact, every time one of those teams wins,
you all go around saying,
"We won. We did it. We achieved something,"
when truth is
you have done nothing.
[crowd booing]
No. You're all delusional.
You watched those teams win,
but you, as individuals,
had nothing to do with it.
And that makes you just like one Dean Ambrose.
Yeah. See, because he's delusional too.
Dean Ambrose walks around here
like he actually accomplished something.
Now, what has Dean Ambrose accomplished?
Is it-- Oh, is it throwing popcorn and soda on my face
last week on Raw?
-[crowd cheering] -Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Well, the thing is. I eat popcorn and drink soda
every day of my life.
So that can't be it.
Oh, is it beating me at Survivor Series?
'Cause let me tell you,
that is nothing to be proud of either,
'cause all that was was a fluke
and it's not going to happen tonight,
because, tonight, when I stomp out the cockroach
that is Dean Ambrose
and walk out of here Intercontinental Champion still,
as delusional as Dean is
and as delusional as all of you are,
nobody will be able to deny that
this, this is the…
[clears throat] …Kevin Owens Show.
-[mic thuds] -[crowd booing]
[Jerry] The opinions expressed there are those of Kevin Owens.
[Michael] On the Kevin Owens Show?
-[Jerry] Yeah. -["Retaliation" playing]
[Lilian] Introducing the challenger,
from Cincinnati, Ohio,
weighing in at 225 pounds,
Dean Ambrose.
[Michael] Dean Ambrose won a Triple Threat match
to find his way into this match-up for the Intercontinental Championship
here tonight against Kevin Owens.
It's been a very interesting week between these two men.
It all began last week on Monday Night Raw
when Dean Ambrose confronting Kevin Owens in the ring.
I don't want any damn popcorn.
I want my music.
What the hell are you doing?
[Michael] He may not have wanted popcorn or a soda pop, but he got it.
[Jerry] Yes, he did.
Right in the face.
[Michael] And then on SmackDown, we had a contract signing
between these two men,
but Kevin Owens was represented by his attorney.
But it was a setup.
Kevin Owens tried to ambush Dean Ambrose.
[Jerry] It didn't go exactly as planned at first.
Let's go for a ride, damn it.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[Michael] But the "Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose couldn't quite get his hands
on Kevin Owens as Owens threw his attorney into harm's way.
-I'm the champ. -[Dean] I know, champ.
[Michael] Owens' attorney would later suffer a Dirty Deeds
at the hands of Dean Ambrose.
So that's what it's all about, the Intercontinental Championship,
Owens, Ambrose, #ICtitle on social media.
-This is gonna be a good one, guys. -[Jerry] Yes, it is.
-[bell ringing] -[JBL] How great is Owens?
He got his attorney beat up.
I like him for that.
[Jerry] Yeah, it almost changed my opinion of him.
[Michael] Remember, earlier on, Dean Ambrose told Roman Reigns,
"We're both gonna be celebrating at the end of the night tonight."
"Me as Intercontinental Champion. You as WWE World Heavyweight Champion."
[Jerry] And then promised a huge victory party.
[Michael] Dean Ambrose, again, you see him talking to the referee.
He's gotta be extra careful he doesn't get disqualified.
The only way he wins the title
is via pinfall or submission over the champion.
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Ambrose-- Oh, and Kevin Owens.
Owens who loves to talk trash,
that in-your-face style, but he backs it up.
[Jerry] And Kevin Owens there--
What we just saw right here is a classic example of what this guy is all about.
He studies his opponent.
He knows what they're gonna do before they--
-[Michael] Oh. -[JBL] No one could have ever--
[Michael] But the problem is, Ambrose doesn't even know what's he's gonna do
so how can Owens know what he's gonna do?
[Jerry] Well, you're right about that. Lunatic Fringe, so unpredictable.
[JBL] You know, I think Dean Ambrose just kinda does stuff.
-[Michael] Oh, and from behind. -[JBL] Not sure why.
Off the rope. One, two.
[JBL] Fortunately for Dean, most of it works.
-Shut up. -[Michael] Kevin Owens,
who burst on the scene in his first match in WWE
when he beat John Cena,
and he'd go on to win the Intercontinental Championship
just a couple of months later.
[JBL] He has been a great fighting champion.
He's a prize fighter.
He is exactly what you want as your champion.
[Owens] What you gonna do?
[Michael] So you wouldn't want Dean Ambrose as the…
-as Intercontinental Champ? -[JBL] Oh, good grief, no.
It'll be terrible. It'll be an absolute disaster.
Can you imagine Dean Ambrose on a talk show?
It'd be worse than Jerry Lawler on Letterman years ago
when he slapped another guest.
[Jerry] What would be wrong with that?
[JBL] It took years before anybody else got to go
on David Letterman's show 'cause of you.
Can you imagine what Ambrose would do?
-[Michael] I can see Ambrose-- -[JBL] Can you imagine Ambrose…
[Jerry] I think it'd be fun to watch.
[JBL] …on a poster? That face?
It'd scare children.
[Michael] There's the face John was talking about.
[JBL] That's what I'm talking about.
[Jerry] It's not that bad.
[JBL] Plus, he's unpredictable.
[Michael] And Kevin Owens isn't?
[JBL] Fair point.
[Michael] Oh, Owens, great throw by Kevin.
-Here's the cover. -One, two…
[Michael] Kickout by Dean at two.
[Jerry] Oh!
[Michael] Kevin Owens such a tremendous athlete.
And again, a kickout by Dean.
Come on.
[Michael] Owens does things in the ring
you never expect a man of his size to do.
-[Jerry] Don't let that physique fool you. -And that's why I'm the champ!
[Jerry] Of course, he's got a problem with screaming at his opponents.
-[groans] -[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] I mean, this guy can't breathe now.
[JBL] Well, he seems like Bam Bam Bigelow or like Van Vader.
I mean, those guys did stuff that you wouldn't expect a guy
with that body frame to be able to do, it's 'cause he's an incredible athlete.
Not so crazy now.
[Jerry] He beat the craziness out of Dean Ambrose.
[referee] Come on, Ambrose.
-What do you say, huh? -That ain't gonna work.
[Michael] Owens, with that 270-pound frame,
would wear out Dean.
[screams]
[Jerry] Lucky Dean Ambrose didn't get sued by that lawyer.
[Michael] I mean, Owens threw him in harm's way.
-[Jerry] Oh, wait. -[Michael] Ambrose…
looking to build a little momentum.
[Jerry] Did some damage to the back of Owens.
[Michael] Dean, oh, going for Dirty Deeds.
[JBL] Countered by Kevin Owens.
[Michael] Down goes KO.
Dean Ambrose just sent him over the top rope.
[Jerry] Oh.
[laughs]
-Come on, Ambrose. -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Welcome to the Ambrose Asylum, Kevin Owens.
[Jerry] Sorry, JBL.
I think… I think Ambrose would make a great Intercontinental Champion.
I'd love to see him on talk shows.
-[JBL] You would? -[Jerry] What about--
what about one of those cooking shows?
That'd be awesome.
Oh.
[Michael] Kevin Owens-- Oh, fallaway slam right into the barricade.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] There's a running senton.
Full frame into the gut of Ambrose.
[Jerry] On the floor nonetheless.
[Owens] Who's crazy now?
[crowd chatter]
[Owens] Get the hell out of my way.
[Michael] Ambrose gasping for air as he's driven
right into the timekeeper's area.
Now, Kevin Owens will tell the official to count him out.
[JBL] Should be a sure nod to Kevin Owens here.
[Michael] Owens would love to retain via count-out.
-[Jerry] Watch this. Oh. -[Michael] What impact.
[JBL] Look at this impact.
Count of five. Dean Ambrose a long way away.
-Six. -[Michael] Count of six.
Ambrose just falling over the barricade
as he tries to crawl back to the ring.
Count of seven now. Ambrose on our table.
Not quite sure where he's at.
-Count of eight. -[Jerry] It's up to eight.
[Michael] Count of eight for Ambrose.
-Count of nine by the official. -[Jerry] Dean, it's nine.
[Michael] Ambrose just beat the count at nine and a half
and Owens can't believe it.
[Jerry] He's crazy.
-Oh. -[Michael] Going for the senton and knee--
-Dean got his knees up. -[groans]
[JBL] I don't like that bogus, bogus long count.
Two.
[Jerry] Knees up.
[groans]
[Jerry] Here we go. Come on. I love this.
Chop, jab, chop, jab,
chop, jab, chop, jab, chop, jab.
He can do this all night.
[JBL] We're not sure Kevin Owens can take it all night.
-Oh, wow. -[Jerry] Whoa.
-Oh, and a clothesline. -[Michael] Look at this.
[Jerry] You knew that was coming.
That's what I'm saying. That's vintage Dean Ambrose.
And there's that face you love, JBL.
[JBL] I'm telling you, you put that on a truck,
children are gonna not be able to go to school.
[Jerry] I can just see that on People Magazine,
-The Sexiest Man of the Year. -[Michael] What?
-In what country? -[Jerry] Come on, Dean.
[Michael] The wild eyes of Dean Ambrose.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] What's he thinking now? Uh-oh.
[Michael] Uh-oh, Kevin Owens caught Dean.
Oh, German suplex and he released him.
[JBL] New air miles!
[Jerry] Getting halfway across the ring.
[JBL] Anybody wanna go bowling?
[Michael] Oh, Ambrose steps out of the way.
[Jerry] Maybe not.
[Michael] That was a gutterball.
[JBL laughs]
-[Jerry] Ambrose, top rope. -[Michael] There's the side elbow.
For the United States-- Oh, and a kickout.
Trying to win the Intercontinental title there
and Kevin Owens able to kick out.
[Jerry] Man, I thought-- I thought Dean Ambrose was…
I thought you were gonna pass out, JBL,
because I thought Dean Ambrose was gonna be
the next Intercontinental Champion.
[JBL] Well, that would be the worst thing
I could ever get for Christmas.
[Jerry] I love these faces.
[JBL] I'd rather have a lump of coal.
[Jerry] You'd get that, anyway. Look at these faces.
[JBL] You get that on Monday nights.
-Cole. A lump called Cole. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
Now, what is Ambrose thinking?
[JBL] He's not thinking. He's just doing stuff.
[Michael] Wait, wait, wait.
-No, no, no. -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
-[Michael] Kevin Owens-- -[Jerry] Look at this.
-[Michael] A senton off the top rope… -[JBL] That's it.
[Michael] …to retain the Intercontinental title.
-No! -[Jerry] What?
Dean Ambrose kicked out of that?
What? What?
[Jerry] That's what I just said.
One, two. That was two right there.
[Jerry] Even the bull on his arm was shocked.
Watch this. And listen.
Look at the impact.
Idiot!
[JBL] That's how you break some ribs on Dean Ambrose.
That's for you.
[JBL] Of course, he could have.
[Jerry] He's screaming.
He's saying, "That's for you."
[JBL] Pop-up powerbomb.
[Jerry] No. And-- Oh!
[Michael] Ambrose looking for Dirty Deeds, blocked by Kevin Owens.
[JBL] Pop-up powerbomb.
-[Jerry] No. Look out. -[Michael] Ambrose went to the up.
kick to the midsection.
-Dirty Deeds. -[JBL] Oh.
[Michael] Dirty Deeds.
-Can Ambrose capitalize? -[Jerry] Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on.
[Michael] Crawls to the cover,
-hooks the legs. -[JBL] Kick out. Kick out, Kevin.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Oh, and he got one finger.
-He got one finger on the bottom rope. -[Jerry] Are you kidding me?
One finger is gonna stop that count?
You're kidding me. One finger?
Come on, ref.
[Michael] He's still got the finger on the bottom rope.
[Jerry] One finger.
-[Michael] Look at that. -[Jerry] No big deal.
Okay, two fingers.
Man.
[JBL] The referee did a great job.
[Jerry] Yeah, for the Kevin Owens fans.
Now, there's the face.
There's the face that Kevin Owens didn't wanna see tonight.
[Michael] And Owens is trying to roll out of harm's way
and Dean Ambrose wasn't having it.
[Jerry] Ambrose is about to snap.
[Michael] Oh, man.
And now Kevin Owens off the kick right to the face.
Oh, I thought he was gonna take it there.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Pop-up powerbomb.
Ambrose countered, rolls him up.
Hooks the leg, shoulders are down.
-[Jerry] He got him. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] We got a new Intercontinental Champion.
-[JBL] Was that a three count? -[Jerry] Yes.
-["Retaliation" playing] -[Lilian] Here is your winner
and the new Intercontinental Champion,
Dean Ambrose.
[Michael] And the celebration's begun.
Dean Ambrose is your Intercontinental Champion.
[Jerry] And we're halfway to that victory party. Woo-hoo!
[Michael] Get used to it, JBL.
[JBL] My Christmas is ruined.
[Jerry laughs]
Yeah!
-[Jerry] He's gonna be on talk shows. -[JBL] Can you imagine
what Dean Ambrose is gonna do as champion?
[Jerry] He's gonna be on cooking shows.
[JBL] This guy is nuts.
[Jerry] He's gonna be on soap operas.
[JBL] He's crazy.
[Jerry] He's gonna be on the front of cereal boxes.
[JBL] The guy is insane.
[Jerry] This is gonna be so awesome.
-Look out. -[JBL] You see what I mean?
[Jerry] He's coming over to the announce table.
[Michael] And, again, Dean Ambrose countered the pop-up powerbomb,
as he pins Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship.
["Retaliation" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner…
[JBL] You can't control this guy.
-He's a lunatic. -[Jerry] That's a good thing.
[laughs]
[Michael] It's not a good thing for Kevin.
-I can tell you that right now. -[Jerry] It isn't.
[Michael] The incredible lineage of the Intercontinental Championship
just got stranger.
[JBL] Stranger? It's gotten insane.
I can't think what the victory party is gonna be like.
Look at them. They can't get enough of him.
What is wrong with these people in Boston?
[Jerry] This is happening--
[JBL] Of all the great Intercontinental Champions,
-Pat Patterson… -[Jerry] John,
This is happening all over the world.
[JBL] …Shawn Michaels.
[Jerry] Guys, watch Ambrose. Look out. Watch this.
-Woo-hoo! Man. -[bell ringing]

is now held by a raving lunatic.
Do you understand how bad this is?
[Lilian] …Dean Ambrose.
[Jerry] What a great celebration.

[JBL] Lord, help us.
[Michael] The Lunatic Fringe is the Intercontinental Champion.
[Jerry] And what will he do next?
[JBL] Ain't that the question.
Lord, help us.
["Retaliation" playing]
Thank you for joining us on the WWE Network…
Give me a high five on that Dean Ambrose victory.
-…for TLC. -Somebody call Jack Tunney,
-we need some help. -And congratulation to Dean Ambrose.
Now, guys, Dean Ambrose held up his end of the bargain.
Will Roman Reigns do the same later on tonight for the WWE World Title?
Can you imagine how bad that would be
-I wanna be at the victory party. -if Roman Reigns
-and Dean Ambrose have those two titles? -Yes.
Well, King, we got some thank yous to take care of.
[Jerry] Yeah, we wanna send out a special thank you
to Dorothy for "Wicked Ones".
It's the official WWE TLC theme song.
It's available right now on iTunes and Spotify.
[Michael] And coming up next in TLC, it is for the Divas Championship.
Paige takes on Charlotte.
It is the story of two who were once best friends,
now split apart by ego, jealousy,
and the Divas title in a match last month at Survivor Series.
[singer] ♪ When the wicked play All we do is yodel… ♪
[Michael] Divas Championship on the line.
Paige, the challenger. Charlotte, the champion.
Look at how physical Charlotte and Paige are here.
Charlotte from off the top of the barricade.
-[Jerry] There it is. -[Michael] There's the Figure-Eight.
Is Paige gonna tap out to the Divas Champion?
Paige taps out. Charlotte retains the title.
What an effort by Charlotte here tonight
and that had to feel good for that young lady.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Charlotte isn't much of a champion if she's a cheater.
See, her arm is clearly underneath the rope.
She didn't beat me.
She is just like her dad,
a dirty player.
Ever since Paige questioned your controversial win
the night after Survivor Series, you've remained silent.
This is your forum to respond
to the awful things that Paige said to you.
You're not woman enough to really handle being the Divas Champion.
She cocky, arrogant, full of ego.
What the hell was that? You cheated.
[Charlotte] I did not cheat. It's strategy.
[Michael] Charlotte twisted her ankle.
Oh, wait a minute. Becky was showing concern for Charlotte
and Charlotte, obviously feigning an injury, stole the win.
You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your old man.
Paige, that backstabbing,
two-faced piece of trash.
She'll be lucky if she ever steps foot in this ring again after Sunday.
[dramatic music playing]
Charlotte, this is a ploy to upset you, honey.
Save it for Sunday.
We are Flairs and we are champions.
[dramatic music playing]
Get her.
[Michael] And here we go. Charlotte going after Paige.
[Charlotte] I'm going to destroy her
for everything she has said about me,
for everything she has said about my family.
This is my house, Charlotte.
I run this place.

accompanied by her Hall of Fame father, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair,
who had a run-in with Paige earlier tonight
-on the TLC kickoff show. -[Jerry] Whoo!
[Michael] Paige attempted to slap Ric.
Ric would block the slap tonight.
What Paige was telling Ric was,
"Hey, you just can't stay away, can you, Ric?"
"You gotta steal the spotlight once again from your daughter, Charlotte,"
Ric would say, "Hey, I'm here for Charlotte tonight."
Paige said, "Yeah, you will be when Charlotte's crying on your shoulder

[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is for the Divas Championship.
Introducing first, the challenger,
from Norwich, England, Paige.
[crowd cheering]
And her opponent, from The Queen City,
she is the Divas Champion, Charlotte.
[crowd cheering and booing]
[Michael] #DivasTitle to chat about this match-up on social media.
Charlotte versus Paige.
Paige has yet to pin Charlotte
since her arrival here at WWE over the summer.
Remember, Paige and Charlotte were once part of Team PCB
along with Becky Lynch.
[Jerry] And listen to the WWE Universe here
as they're introduced, no clear-cut favorite in this match.
These young divas have done some things the past few weeks
to kinda alienate some people and each other.
[Michael] Yeah, Becky Lynch has been sort of--
-[Jerry] Watch out. -[Michael] Oh.
And Charlotte blindsides Paige.
[Jerry] Don't turn your back on Charlotte.
She's a Flair.
I heard you the first time.
[Michael] You know, she's been learning a bit from Daddy as of late.
[Jerry] She has.
[JBL] There's plenty to learn from.
Sixteen-time world champion, The Nature Boy.
-[Michael] Dirtiest Player in the Game. -This is my house!
[Jerry] That's the… that's the comment.
The Dirtiest Player in the Game.
[Michael] Now, Paige turning the tables on Charlotte.
One, two, three.
[Jerry] There was a time in Ric Flair's career,
he was… he was so dishonest,
they'd ask him for his ID when he paid cash.
And he knows every trick in the book.
[Michael] Paige running knees to Charlotte.
-Three. Come on. -Whoo.
[Michael] Now, mocking Charlotte's dad.
[Jerry] I don't know if that's a wise move or not.
[Michael] You know Paige. She goes by the beat of her own drum.
No doubt about that.
There's nothing traditional about Paige.
[Jerry] Be careful 'cause you don't wanna get beaten by her.
-[Michael] Uh-oh. That looked familiar. -[Jerry] Yeah, it did.
-[Michael] Paige… -[JBL] She's knocked down like daddy.
[Michael] …going for the Divas title.
Charlotte gonna roll out of harm's way.
So Paige must win via pinfall or submission
to win the championship tonight.
Now Paige strutting like Flair.
[crowd chatter]
-Two. -Whoo!
Paige. Paige, get back.
[Michael] Paige and Charlotte were once best friends,
-brought up together in NXT. -Whoo!
[Jerry] Oh, I don't know if that's a good strategy, Paige.
[JBL] Very similar backgrounds.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] At least, the daughter of the champion is smart.
[Michael] And look at Charlotte rushing back into the ring.
[Jerry] Yeah, the Naitch buying time. Hey, watch out, watch out.
[Ric] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[Michael] And now Charlotte feeding off the distraction.
That's it, baby.
[Michael] Definitely a change in tactics by Charlotte in the past few weeks.
Cover. Kickout again by Paige.
[Jerry] Naitch running right up behind Paige
-and Paige in her footsteps. -One, two, three!
[JBL] I applaud it. It's fantastic.
[Michael] Why is that?
[JBL] Well, maybe like… Well, you know,
maybe like for, one, your father and, two, a 16-time world champion.
-[Jerry] Yeah. -[Michael] What about the--
-[JBL] You wanna emulate success… -[Jerry] Look what the champion's--
[JBL] …who are you gonna emulate? Barry Horowitz?
[Michael] Yeah, but, John, what about standing on your own?
What about making a name for yourself on your own?
[JBL] That's what she's doing.
She's done a few things that her father did also.
[Michael] Oh, neckbreaker.
Great move by Charlotte.
No denying, she's an exceptional athlete, one of the best we've ever seen here.
[JBL] Her father never did that.
[Michael] Cover, hook of the leg. Paige at two.
[JBL] Every once in a while, you have an athlete that…
[Michael] Again. Again, Paige stays in.
[JBL] …transcends the genre.
We had Jennie Finch in softball. Gabrielle Reece in volleyball.
Now, we have our Charlotte.
-[Michael] Well, if you listen to Paige-- -[JBL] Nature Boy did it as well.
[Michael] It was Paige though.
-She's the one who-- -Oh, we want Paige.
[Michael] I believe, started the Diva's Revolution.
[JBL] Listen to the Bellas. They started the Diva's Revolution.
[Michael] Again, Charlotte wrestling Paige to the mat.
Charlotte won the Divas Championship back in September at Night of Champions.
On that night, she ended the record-setting title run
of Nikki Bella at 301 days. What an accomplishment.
[referee] What do you say, Paige?
[Jerry] JBL, I just heard-- We just got word that
Dean Ambrose has already been invited
to be on his first talk show, Jerry Springer.
Should be great.
[Michael] Oh.
[JBL] Well, with all his personalities,
he can be himself.
[Jerry] Here we go. Here we go.
[Michael] Again. And Paige stays in it.
[JBL] You guys have no idea what Dean Ambrose is capable of
being Intercontinental Champion.
[Michael] We know what Charlotte's capable of as Divas Champion
and she's proving it right here.
And, again, does that not look familiar?
The knee brace being taking down and the knee delivered to Paige.
[Jerry] It's a-- Oh, look at this.
Talk about looking familiar.
-Whoo! -[Jerry] Daddy made over.
[Michael] Carbon copy.
And, again, Paige fighting an uphill battle.
[Jerry] Guys, do you think this is sort of a case of…
and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this…
Is Ric sort of living vicariously through his daughter now?
[Michael] That's what Paige seems to think.
-Oh, look at Paige though. -[Jerry] Not that that's a bad thing.
-[Michael] Paige-- -[Jerry] How can you help it?
[JBL] Oh, I think not at all. Every athlete looks up to their coach.
They take on characteristics of their coach.
[Michael] Charlotte's in trouble here.
And Paige really locked in.
-And Charlotte may be fading. -[Jerry] Yes, she is.
What do you say, Charlotte?
[Michael] Paige may win the Divas Championship right here.
What do you say?
[Jerry] Ric Flair over there is concerned.
He knows his daughter is in trouble. Whoa.
That's how you get out of that.
[JBL] King, you had a strut that looked a lot like Jackie Fargo.
-You weren't trying to be him. -[Jerry] Well--
[JBL] And he wasn't trying to live through you.
[Jerry] Sort of was trying to be like him.
Gotta admit it.
[Michael] Oh, right to the back of the knee.
Again, working on the legs.
Setting up the figure-four into Figure-Eight…
Sasha Banks, Naomi, and Tamina. Unity!
[Jerry] I don't think they're amused by this match-up.
[JBL] Well, they look a lot like Team PCB there.
[Michael] Yeah, they were making fun of team PCB.
Used to be Paige, Charlotte and, uh, Becky.
[Jerry] Oh, guys.
Charlotte just went head-first… thrown head-first into the ring post.
-You okay? -[Jerry] She's dazed.
-Two. -[Jerry] Watch this. Watch this.
She's pulled right in. Oh.
You all right?
[JBL] She grabbed Charlotte's wrist--
[Jerry] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What-- Nat--
[Michael] What is--
[Jerry] Watch him. Oh, the official--
Yeah, what are you doing?
Exposed that turnbuckle over for some reason.
Two Flairs capable of anything.
[JBL] Maybe it was unsafe.
Ric's just correcting something.
[Michael] Yeah, it's a lot safer now without the padding.
[Jerry] He was a guy that would show you a hammerlock with a real hammer.
Whoa, look at Paige.
-Oh. -[Michael] Paige with a running knee.
And Charlotte is in deep trouble, guys.
Whoo!
-[JBL] Hear, hear. -[Michael] Oh, look at this.
Look at Paige.
[Jerry] There's the ultimate move.
-[Michael] Look at Paige. -[JBL] Beating someone at their own game.
[Michael] Figure-four.
[Jerry] Man, Ric Flair's blood gotta be boiling right now.
[Michael] Will Paige do the bridge?
[JBL] The question is, is Charlotte gonna tap?
[Michael] If Charlotte taps here, Paige is the Divas Champion.
Charlotte may be tapping out.
[Jerry] Look. Look there.
[Michael] Trying to roll over onto her belly,
trying to reverse-- Break it.
-[Jerry] And she did. -[Michael] She did.
And now it's Paige in trouble.
[JBL] If anybody knows how to counter that hold, it's Charlotte.
[Michael] And Paige grabs on to the ropes to force a break.
She's on the ropes. Break it.
Let's break it. Come on, break it.
[Jerry] Yeah, I can remember countless times
Ric Flair hooked that figure-four on me.
That's the only way you can survive it,
if somehow you can turn,
get it… get it flipped over and reverse that pressure. Wow.
[Michael] Boot right to the face by Charlotte.
And just like that, the Diva's Champ has turned things around.
And now Charlotte gonna go up to the top rope.
High-risk maneuver by the champion.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[JBL] Whoa.
[Michael] Took out Paige. Is this is enough? And a kickout.
[Jerry] That's one thing that almost never worked for her daddy,
going for the top rope.
What are you doing?
[Dan] She kicked out, Charlotte.
[Jerry] Oh, there's those chops.
[JBL] As she points to daddy.
[Jerry] Whoops.
[Michael] Oh, Paige able to reverse though.
Fisherman suplex by Paige.
Is it enough for the victory here?
Kickout at two.
[Jerry] Man, oh, man.
Yeah, look at Ric.
I mean, I love to watch the expression on Ric's face.
He just went, "Whoo," but it was like, "Phew."
-Oh. -[Michael] Oh, wow.
[Jerry] Oh, man. My God.
Paige ain't moving. She's hurt, and she's hurt something bad.
[Michael] Charlotte looking to take advantage
to retain her championship here.
And Paige though manages to stay in it.
[Jerry] Watch it. Watch this again.
[Michael] Cover again and a kickout.
[Jerry] Oh, and then that's--
[Michael] Right on the top of her head.
Charlotte, a third time and, again, Paige stays alive.
[Jerry] I mean, you gotta give Paige some props
for being able to withstand that.
[Michael] Flair continuing to play cheerleader outside the ring.
-Charlotte said-- -[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] Look at Paige. Paige trying to steal one here.
Is it enough?
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Oh, knee on Charlotte.
Paige might have hurt her knee there.
-This one's for you, Daddy. -Oh, shut up.
[Jerry] "This is for you, Daddy."
[JBL] It's personal for Charlotte.
It’s personal. If she loses out here in front of her dad, with him in the corner.
-[Michael] Oh. -[Jerry] Oh.
-Well, we've just had pretty much-- -[Michael] The RamPaige.
-The RamPaige. -[Jerry] And look at Flair.
Look at--
[Michael] Oh, come on.
How do you defend that, John?
You can't.
[Jerry] He just put his daughter's foot on the ropes. You see--
[Michael] Paige had the championship won off the RamPaige.
Charlotte was not kicking out of that.
[JBL] I think I saw it too.
[Jerry] I'm afraid so. You gotta admit it.
[JBL] I did admit it.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Paige is beside herself. You can't blame her.
[Michael] Look at Charlotte.
Charlotte just took the protective covering
off the second turnbuckle.
And Paige goes face-first on the turnbuckle.
-[Michael] And cover. -[Jerry] Wait a minute.
-[Michael] Charlotte's gonna retain. -[bell ringing]
["Recognition" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner and still the Divas Champion,
Charlotte.
[Jerry] Never trust a Flair.
[Michael] Charlotte taking advantage of the unprotected turnbuckle.
She took the protection off…
and Charlotte retains the Divas Championship.
-[Jerry] Look at this. Look at this. -[JBL laughs]
-Look at The Nature Boy go. -Whoo!
[JBL] We call him The Dirtiest Player in the Game.
Are you surprised that his daughter does something similar?
[Jerry] And let's go back and look at this.
I thought Paige had this match with that RamPaige.
Now watch Flair. Look at Flair.
He'll reach-- grab his daughter's foot and put it on the ropes.
And that's all the ref sees.
He didn't see Flair put her foot on the ropes.
And here as you said, Michael, the exposed turnbuckle
that Flair had taken part of the cover off earlier.
[Michael] And Charlotte took the rest of it off.
And Charlotte retaining the Divas Championship tonight
with a… that was a play right out of her old man's playbook.
Charlotte indeed, guys, is learning
from The Dirtiest Player in the Game.
[Jerry] Yeah.
-Whoo! -[JBL laughs]
The Nature Boy. I've never seen him better.
And his daughter is just like him.
How great is this?
Charlotte retains the Divas Championship.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, WWE and Kay Jewelers helped one lucky fan
with the ultimate proposal.
Jimmy and Naomi met with Coleco Yates
at a Kay Jewelers in San Diego
and here's how it went.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Coleco] Okay. -What you got going on here, man?
Just trying to find the perfect ring, man,
-for this perfect lady. -I hear you.
-So you proposing before Raw? -Yes. Actually, I am.
I wanna propose inside a WWE ring
because I love the WWE and I love Lily
and it's the best of both things coming together.
Let's find the perfect ring.
This here is a more contemporary vintage line.
-[Coleco] Yeah. -[Naomi] This is a emerald cut diamond
with a halo around it.
I hope she likes it.
[Naomi] Oh, she will love it.
-I think you should practice. -Yes.
Get your practice right now.
-Will you do the honor? -Yes.
-I love you so much. -Love you too, boo.
It ain't-- Yeah, you got the wrong size but it's all good, baby.
[instrumental music playing]
So do I body slam him now or later?
-Later. -[chuckles]
Because right now-- You know what?
There's one more thing we forgot.
What?
[sobs]
-Lily… -Yes?
…will you marry me?
Oh, my God.
-Yes! Yes! Yes! -[laughs]
[cheers and applause]
[Jimmy Uso] Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
[romantic music playing]
Well, Jimmy Uso and, of course, his wife, Naomi, having a lot fun there.
Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to see more
of Coleco and Lily's story at wwe.com/kay.
A very big thank you to Kay Jewelers.
Baby, we're going out in Boston tonight.
We are Flairs. You are--
-We're champions. -You're the champion.
We are Flairs. Whoo!
-Look at all that we're doing. -Hi, Becks. What's up?
-What'd you think? -Um, yeah, uh…
-What, you're not happy? -I saw it, all right.
Um, I'm happy you won.
I'm just not necessarily happy about the way you've been doing things.
It's just the way we planned it, baby girl.
-It was awesome. -Dad, no. I got the job done.
Would you rather Paige be champion or your best friend, me?
-No, you, you obviously but-- -Yeah. Yeah.
So I got it done. Let's go three celebrate, right?
Like old times. Come on.
Dad.
-[laughs] Whoo! -Go, Becksies.
-He's out of-- He's-- -Whoo!
Let's all-- Let's go, guys.
Downtown Boston, baby.
-Whoo! -Dad, now.
I don't know if I wanna be at that victory party or not.
I do. That's the kind… that's the party I wanna go.
You go to Ambrose. I'll go with Nature Boy.
Well, Ric Flair's victory party will probably last
till four or five o'clock in the morning.
-Well… -Yeah. Thursday morning.
…you guys mentioned Dean Ambrose.
We said before, he upheld his end of the bargain,
winning the Intercontinental Championship.
But will his buddy, Roman Reigns, do the same?
Because coming up next, Roman Reigns versus Sheamus
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
And for Roman Reigns, a chance to wipe the taste
out of his mouth from Survivor Series.
[dramatic music playing]
[Michael] Roman Reigns has done it.
Roman Reigns is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
[JBL] And here comes a special congratulations from the boss.
[Michael] And a spear. A spear to Triple H.
Wait a minute. A Brogue Kick.
Sheamus has cashed in.
You gotta be kidding me.
[Triple H] The new WWE
World Heavyweight Champion,
Sheamus.
Who looks stupid now? [laughs]
Right now, I'd like to thank the man that made this all possible.
The man who gave me the opportunity of a lifetime.
I would like to thank Roman Reigns.
I Brogue Kicked your head off
after five minutes and fifteen seconds.
You can forget about your Austin 3:16
because Sheamus 5:15 says
I just kicked your arse!
[Michael] Oh, Roman Reigns with a Superman Punch.
Roman Reigns has the championship in hand
And I got three words for you,
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
At TLC, I'm taking back what's mine,
and that's the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
TLC will end exactly as Survivor Series did,
you'll be on your hands and knees wondering how it all went wrong.
[Roman] You're sitting there yapping.
I thought Irish men had potatoes.
It looks like you just smuggled in some tater tots. [chuckles]
[Michael] And here he comes,
and Sheamus went after Roman and now here we go.
The brawl's on.
[crowd cheering]
["Wicked Ones" playing]
[Sheamus] If you think that you can beat me for this title,
you have some imagination, fella.
[Roman] I'm gonna run through you like a tornado.
-[Michael] Roman, spear! -[JBL] Wow.
[Michael] Roman just speared Sheamus through a table!
[Roman] This ride ends with me as champion.
[Michael] Will this be the scene Sunday?
Roman, Sheamus, no rules,
just climb the ladder, grab the title.
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
And that's what it's about, ladies and gentlemen,
ladders, of course, set up out here at ringside
along with tables and chairs.
They are legal in this match-up, but in order to win the championship,
you must climb a ladder and grab the title,
and take it down to become champ.
["Hellfire" playing]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chatter]
Faugh a ballagh!
[Michael] And there is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
Sheamus.
And you have to wonder if that man will be carrying the title
the next time we come to you on pay-per-view,
six weeks from tonight,
as the Road to WrestleMania begins
at the Royal Rumble in Orlando.
[Jerry] Wow.
Imagine saying that already, "the Road to WrestleMania."
[Michael] No pinfalls, no submission,
no disqualifications, no count-outs in this match-up.
["Hellfire" playing]
[crowd chatter]
[crowd booing]
[Michael] That championship will be, uh, hung up above the ring
and of course, you need to climb the ladder to grab it,
much like we saw earlier tonight in the Tag Team Championship Ladder match.
[Jerry] If I was in this match, I'd be using a stepladder,
'cause my real ladder and I don't have a good relationship.
[JBL] You tend to look good kicking your ladder.
[Jerry] He-- Did he just kiss the championship?
[Michael] He might have kissed it goodbye.
[Jerry] Yeah.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] There he goes.
[JBL] It could be the last time that Sheamus sees it as the owner.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Sheamus won his first WWE championship…
-["The Truth Reigns" playing] -[Michael] …in a Tables match
here at TLC in 2009 when he beat John Cena.
["The Truth Reigns" playing]
This is what Roman Reigns tweeted out earlier today, gentlemen.
"I don't plan on knocking at the door of opportunity."
"I plan on running right through it."
"Welcome to the big fight, fella."
And what a year it's been for Roman Reigns.
And think about the ups and downs for this man.
He won the Royal Rumble back in January.
He almost won the championship versus Brock Lesnar in WrestleMania
before Seth Rollins cashed in.
He had Money in the Bank won before Bray Wyatt got involved.
At Survivor Series, he actually won the gold
before Sheamus cashed in Money in the Bank.
But tonight, what a sweet way
Roman Reigns could wrap up 2015.
[JBL] Or it may just be another disappointment for WWE's bridesmaid.
Roman has been so close,
but the more times you get there and don't make it,
just look at Dustin Johnson,
the more that mountain just seems insurmountable.
[roars]
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] And when you look at Roman Reigns right now,
nothing seems insurmountable for him tonight.
["The Truth Reigns" playing]
[bell ringing]
The following is a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match,
and it is for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Introducing first, the challenger,
from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds,
Roman Reigns.
[crowd cheering]
And his opponent, from Dublin, Ireland,
weighing in at 267 pounds,
he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
"The Celtic Warrior,"
Sheamus.
[crowd booing]
[Michael] Guys, Monday night on Raw,
Roman Reigns pinned Sheamus in a tag team match-up.
Does that have any bearing on tonight?
[Jerry] It's got to. I mean, it's got to, just the…
just the mental knowing that that can happen.
I mean, that it did happen, that it can happen again.
[Michael] Also, Monday night, John,
uh, Roman Reigns speared Sheamus through a table
-right in front of our announce table. -[bell ringing]
[Michael] Oh, Reigns caught him with a big right hand.
[Jerry] Yes. And Sheamus ran into it like an idiot.
[Michael] You can hear his right hand crack off the jaw of Sheamus.
[JBL] Thought that was a 13-second knockout like they had last night.
[Michael] And you gotta check out the side of Sheamus' face.
A huge red bruise has already been developed on the face of Sheamus
after that right hand by Roman Reigns.
[Jerry] Man, these guys are going at it. Look at that.
[JBL] That didn't take long at all.
[Michael] What an incredible right by Roman.
[JBL] And how about the granite jaw of Sheamus to take it and absorb it?
[Michael] Exactly, but can he go down?
-[Jerry] Whoa. -[Michael] Now a high running knee.
[crowd chanting] We want Cena. Cena sucks.
[Michael] Sheamus and Reigns.
[crowd chanting] We want Cena. Cena sucks.
We want Cena.
[JBL] Roman Reigns busted open Brock Lesnar
right off the bat with those right hands.
[Michael] Now Roman Reigns is…
[crowd chanting] We want Cena! Cena sucks!
…laying it all out on the line tonight.
Realizes this could be his last opportunity, guys.
[Jerry] Look at the hands, they are snapping.
Missed that clothesline.
[Michael] Again, no pinfalls, no submissions.
Every one of those right hands and forearms connecting
to the jaw of Sheamus.
[JBL] Sheamus has blocked everything Roman has thrown at his face.
[Jerry] You're right about that.
[crowd chatter]
-[Michael] And now… -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] …ladder used for the first time in this match.
[Jerry] He's gotta do something to even the score here.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Into the barricade, and Sheamus goes over into the timekeeper's area.
[JBL] I saw his forehead hit that barricade.
Going over, thought Sheamus landed right on his head there.
[Michael] Yeah, Sheamus landed hard.
[Jerry] Not a good landing at all for Sheamus.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] No count-out or anything, we're basically out here.
Make sure he does, then he can climb the ladder.
[crowd exclaims]
[Michael] And Sheamus though,
Sheamus came barreling out of the timekeeper's area
and caught Roman with a forearm.
[crowd chatter]
[ladder thuds]
[Michael] Reigns still feeling the effects of that now.
Roman follows it up with a clothesline of his own.
Get your ass down!
Getting physical right out of the box.
[JBL] These guys are here to be beat the hell out of each other.
-[Jerry] Exactly. -[JBL] I love it. I think it's great.
[Michael] Well, I don't like the fact that Reigns is…
[JBL] Look at him, taking out the Spanish announce table.
[Michael] …targeting our table so early.
[Jerry] Don't, please.
[Roman] Here, cowboy.
-[Jerry laughs] -[JBL] Thanks, Roman.
-[Michael] At least he saved your hat. -[Jerry] Yeah. He didn't have to.
Look at the size of that ladder.
[Michael] Again, you need a ladder in the ring
to have any opportunity to-- Oh, maybe he's not gonna put that in the ring.
[Jerry] No. He's just…
[JBL] What is Roman thinking?
-[Jerry] Watch it! -[Michael] And Sheamus with a chair
to the back of Reigns.
Guys…
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Michael] Sheamus has gotta-- Sheamus has gotta have nightmares
when he sees a ladder set up like this from the announce table to the ring.
-[JBL] That's right. -[Michael] Couple of years ago,
Sheamus went crashing through a ladder,
messed up in a ladder that was in this position,
-messed his shoulder up real bad. -[JBL] Right in front of us.
[Michael] Tore a labrum, cost him six months of his career.
[JBL] Sheamus knows the danger of this match.
You got-- I think that's why you're gonna see these guys
beat the hell out of each other first
before they even try to go get that title
because they know how bad it is
and how dangerous it is falling from that height.
[Michael] Don't know if it does it justice on your screen but Sheamus
just walked by here and I cannot get over
-the bruise on the side of his face. -[JBL] What a right hand.
[Jerry] Roman, first shot of the match.
[Michael] Oh, and again, he catches Sheamus.
[Jerry] His head went to the left side.
[Michael] Now, here's the tilt-a-whirl slam.
And just like that, the champ is taking over
and just checking his teeth.
[JBL] That Irishman have a granite jaw or what?
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] A loose cannon.
[Michael] Look at Sheamus.
What a Ladder match.
Earlier this year, the Money in the Bank Ladder match.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Took over the championship cashing in at the Survivor Series.
You know, Roman Reigns, uh, had that match won in many people's minds
before Bray Wyatt got involved.
[JBL] Talking about something that might play in somebody's mind,
Roman Reigns was right at the top of that ladder
-but it got snatched from him. -[Jerry] Whoa.
And Roman is on target with that… with those big right hands.
[Michael] Both men over the top rope.
[audience member 1] Whoo!
[Jerry] Referee checking on Sheamus.
You called it a granite jaw?
It better be, JBL.
I don't know how's he gonna take many more of those.
[JBL] It certainly looked like it is.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] You know, sometimes, you just go into an event.
Everything in here works.
Roman has a great game.
I'm sure he has a great…
-[Michael] Great fights? -[JBL] Listen, gentlemen.
Roman Reigns has had it about him.
The only thing that hit Sheamus was is landing.
[Michael] This is a dangerous atmosphere for everybody out here, guys.
You saw the cameraman almost got taken out there.
[crowd chanting]
[audience member 2] Come on, Roman!
[Jerry] And Sheamus-- Whoa.
[Michael] And Sheamus snapped the table.
[Jerry] Guys, look at that, there are tables, ladders, and chairs
all over this arena.
[JBL] I don't know if you noticed. Nobody's even tried
to climb that ladder yet to get to that title.
You think they understand how dangerous it is, getting them out here
and trying to incapacitate the other guy first.
[Michael] And-- Oh, no!
TLC, baby!
[Jerry] That's right.
[Michael] Yeah, exactly.
You don't think this is personal for Roman?
Sheamus is running around with his Sheamus 5:15 stuff,
mocking the five minutes and 15 seconds
Roman held the championship at Survivor Series.
-Huh?! -[Jerry] Watch this.
Entire stack of chairs crashing down.
Oh, man.
-[Sheamus screams] -[Jerry] Oh, man.
Oh, man, right on that elbow.
One of those chairs hit the point of your elbow
gets fractured, just shattered.
[Michael] Oh, you bet in a TLC match.
[audience member 3] Right here, Roman!
[young audience member] Right here, Roman!
[JBL] I mean, it's hard in a TLC match…
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Never the same, I'm afraid.
[crowd chatter]
[audience member 4] Hit him with a chair, Roman!
-[young audience member] Yeah, right here! -[Jerry] Look at this.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Is he gonna do this? Here we go.
[Michael] And Reigns going through the table.
[Jerry] Man.
[Michael] And Sheamus able to muster a little bit of offense.
[Jerry] Not exactly what Roman quite had in mind.
Yeah, look at--
[JBL] His, uh, chair hit him.
[Michael] Yeah, one of Sheamus'.
[Michael] Arm all banged up, jaw banged up, triceps a mess.
[Jerry] For Sheamus, that's one hell of a bruising.
Oh, no.
[Michael] Reigns through another table.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd chanting] ECW! ECW! ECW!
[Jerry] Watch this. First of all, Roman--
I think he was gonna powerbomb Sheamus, instead the tables were turned.
This one again.
[Michael] And maybe most importantly for Sheamus, guys,
it allowed Sheamus some time to try to regroup.
[audience member 6] Come on, Sheamus.
[JBL] While Roman Reigns is down on that table,
I'd take a shot and go for that title.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Barely standing to his feet.
He's kind of out of it, man.
[Michael] There's no ladder in the ring.
The only thing in the ring right now is a table.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Look at that.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] It's amazing Sheamus is able to function right now.
But that WWE World Heavyweight Championship hangs in the balance.
Look at it up there.
[Michael] Well, Sheamus had a taste of his own for a number of weeks now
and he's not gonna give it up without a fight, I'll tell you that.
[Jerry] That'll reach it.
Sheamus is gonna climb it.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Oh, now, it's Roman Reigns.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Look at the bleeding side of Sheamus.
And this is how Sheamus is gonna be a--
continues to be a great WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
The Celtic Warrior.
[Michael] Listen to that.
[Jerry] Wow, did that hit him in the face?
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Oh, and Reigns bounced off the steel steps
and now Sheamus with that chair.
[Jerry] Whoa!
[Michael] Reigns averting disaster.
[JBL] Another right hand from Roman.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Guys, this kind of match you're probably put through hell.
[JBL] These guys are annihilating each other.
[Michael] All in the name of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
We were talking earlier about everything Reigns has gone through this year
to win-- have an opportunity to win that title.
That's why he's putting himself through this.
He knows what it means.
[JBL] You're right about that, as does Sheamus.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] And here we go.
[Michael] Oh, went for a Drive-By and Sheamus cleaned his clock.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Man, I don't think that's happened on the ring before right here.
[young audience member] Watch out!
[Sheamus yells]
[grunts]
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] He took-- he tried to own this match,
but then you watch these guys,
you're trying to predict what they're gonna do next, but there's no telling.
[Sheamus] Come on. Huh?
[Jerry] You said it, JBL, these guys are trying to destroy each other.
[JBL] They're doing a great job of it.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Look at Sheamus, he's got some evil intention with those steps.
[crowd chatter]
[audience member 5] Yeah. On those chairs, comes on.
[Michael] Oh, no, no, no, looking for White Noise.
[Jerry] Well, I'll tell you…
[Michael] Sheamus looking for White Noise.
[Jerry] No, don't do this.
[Michael] Through the table!
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] White Noise through the table.
[Jerry] That's gotta be it, if Sheamus is able to get to his feet.
[crowd chanting, shouting]
[Jerry] I tell you, that I think that it had done as much damage to Sheamus
as it did to Roman Reigns, do you think?
Listen to this impact. Listen.
[crowd exclaims]
[Michael] Roman could be suffering rib injuries here,
look at how he's grasping his midsection.
[JBL] Putting his weight-- all his weight on Roman.
[Jerry] Sheamus has suffered for everything in the ring.
[Michael] Now Sheamus trying to pull himself into the ring.
There's a ladder in there already.
[Jerry] Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
[JBL] Sheamus has got a good shot here,
if he could just get that ladder set up and start climbing.
[Michael] WWE World Title hangs above the ring.
Roman Reigns crawling after Sheamus.
[Jerry] Yeah, but look at… look at… look at Roman.
Roman has somehow crawled over there
and got one foot of Sheamus in his hand.
Now both feet.
And do you think he--
[Michael] And look at… look at the look on Sheamus' face.
I don't think he can believe Roman Reigns is even moving.
[shouting indistinctly]
[Jerry] Sheamus is saying, "You get in here now."
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] Such an incredible will of Roman Reigns.
Think of the mental fortitude he has,
for everything he's been through this year,
to still be at this point tonight, battling for the WWE World Title.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Oh, no.
[Michael] And paid the price.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Look at Reigns.
He looks closer there. As close as he's been at any point tonight.
He could be at the back of the line.
Get your arse up. Huh?
Oh, did you want a fight, right? Huh?
Don't you want a fight, right?
Huh? Huh? Don't you want… [grunting]
[crowd chanting] Daniel Bryan!
[Jerry] Whoa.
[Michael] And Roman Reigns able to counter.
And look at Roman Reigns, the power, he's still got some left.
That's 270 pounds into the ladder.
[Jerry] Oh, man, that-- Oh!
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] Everything Roman Reigns had left.
[both groaning]
[JBL] Sheamus is laying on your ladder.
[Jerry] That looked like it broke Sheamus in half.
[JBL] Let's see this.
[Jerry] Watch this.
[Michael] And just with one arm as you said, John.
-[JBL] One-arm powerbomb. -[Jerry] And get him up even higher.
[crowd exclaims]
[Michael] All the abuse he's gone through in this match
for being able to accomplish this to a 270-pound man.
[grunts]
[Jerry] Oh.
[JBL] Incredible strength.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] He's gotta be scarred for life. For life.
[Michael] Both these superstars just have been through hell here tonight.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] I tell you this, though,
-that title is worth every bit of it… -[Jerry] Oh.
[JBL] …and both of these gentlemen know it.
[Michael] And you know, John, you went through so much in your career
to keep that title, every match imaginable.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] I wouldn't trade it in for the world.
[Michael] Oh, and here comes Reigns.
[JBL] And neither would these guys.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Roman Reigns looking to build…
somehow build a little bit of momentum, get it going again.
Get back on the tracks.
[Jerry] And how do you build momentum if you've been through as much as he has?
-[Michael] Just like that! -[Jerry] Oh!
Oh, man.
[JBL] More like a Superman Punch with that chair.
[Jerry] With that chair. Right.
[groaning]
[JBL] Reigns is hurt.
I think that White Noise earlier, he's been hurt inside somewhere.
If you have a cracked rib--
[Jerry] Watch this, JBL. Tried to get a… this is…
-[JBL] Whoo. -[Jerry] …like a Superman Punch.
-What the hell-- Whoa! -[crowd exclaims]
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Does that not crack your brain though?
-[crowd cheering] -[Jerry] Uh-oh.
He's smiling.
[crowd cheering and booing]
[Michael] Oh, Sheamus, the Irish Curse Backbreaker.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd booing]
[Jerry] Remember the saying, you can't…
"Fool me once, shame on me."
You wouldn't wanna go for that Superman Punch twice.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Now Sheamus, I think--
I think he is, uh, in that proverbial second wind here.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT! NXT
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] He's going for the 10 Beats of the Bodhrán.
You see the championship hanging high above the--
[JBL] Listen to that. Listen!
[crowd] Two!
-Three! -[JBL] Good grief.
[crowd] Four!
Five!
Six!
[Jerry] Oh, he's--
[JBL] How much more can Roman Reigns take?
[Jerry] Obviously, he doesn't wanna take anymore.
[grunting]
[Jerry] Oh, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Michael] Uh-oh, Sheamus.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Something's gotta give here, something's gotta give here.
-Oh! -[Jerry] Oh, no.
-[JBL] No! -[Michael] Oh, my God.
The ladder just snapped in half.
The ladder snapped in half.
[Jerry] And so did their bodies.
[Michael] The officials right there to check out both of these superstars,
Reigns and Sheamus
[JBL] The match may be over right here.
[Michael] Oh, my God. Both men went right through the ladder,
the ladder snapped in half.
[JBL] It's almost the exact same spot a couple of years ago
where Sheamus went through a ladder just to lose his arm for six months…
-[Michael] Yeah, tore his labrum. -[JBL] …and it just happened again.
[Michael] We talked about it earlier. Watch this.
[crowd exclaims]
[Jerry] Oh, my God.
[JBL] He's grabbing his right arm, it's--
[Michael] I don't know what else these two could go through.
I don't know how they can make it back to their feet.
[labored panting]
[JBL] You know what's amazing?
They haven't even got close to getting to that title yet.
[Michael] No. Neither one of them on the ladder.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] We have to just wait this out, guys…
[Michael] Sheamus hasn't moved.
[Jerry] …until somebody gets enough life in him.
Watch again.
-Oh. -[crowd exclaims]
[Michael] Roman Reigns trying to somehow pull himself back to his feet,
get back into the ring, but-- I mean, Sheamus has not moved.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Sheamus took--
He was on the bottom
as that ladder snapped.
[referee] Seven,
eight,
nine,
ten. Let's go.
[JBL] So do we have a winner?
[Michael] Well, you have to, I guess.
[JBL] I don't know what these guys can go through.
[Jerry] And I think Roman is, right now,
finally realizing that this is his opportunity.
[Michael] Yeah, Roman Reigns now with the ladder,
gonna set it up the middle of the ring.
This could be Roman Reigns' moment finally here tonight at TLC.
Sheamus hasn't moved,
Roman Reigns has gotten the ladder set up in the middle of the ring.
[JBL] Is Roman finally gonna get to hold
-that championship? -[Michael] Roman Reigns is gonna do it,
Reigns is gonna do it right here tonight at TLC
and cap off 2015 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
-[Jerry] Come on. Two more steps. -[JBL] Roman has been so close.
-[Michael] Wait a minute, wait a minute. -[Jerry] Reach out, reach out.
[Michael] Sheamus is back in.
[JBL] He may be forever the bridesmaid.
[Michael] And that may have been last effort for Reigns,
as Sheamus looks to climb the ladder.
-[JBL] Sheamus has got a… -[Jerry] Sheamus has got it.
[JBL] …good use of his right arm. Look at that.
He's been holding that right arm since he went for that ladder.
[Michael] Sheamus is almost there.
-[Roman grunts] -[Jerry] Oh, and--
[JBL] Hit each other with everything else.
[Jerry] Yeah.
[JBL] Most physical match-up I have ever seen in anything.
[Michael] And now Roman Reigns' moment.
Reigns trying to do it again.
Reigns trying to win the championship.
[Jerry] Come on, you're right there.
[Roman grunts]
[audience member 7] Come on, Sheamus.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Oh, no, no.
[Michael] Reigns trying to hang on.
Lands on his feet.
-Superman Punch! -[Jerry] Whoa!
[JBL] Wow, did he did it.
[Michael] Reigns tasted victory.
He knows how it feels to hold the championship.
He did at Survivor Series.
[JBL] Sheamus may have… may have a granite jaw,
but his look like it just got broke.
[Michael] The time of Roman Reigns.
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Get up there. -[Michael] Looking to grab the gold…
-[Jerry] Get up there. -[Michael] …to become champion.
-[Jerry] Look at Sheamus go again. -[JBL] How could Sheamus--
-[Jerry] Look out! -[Michael] And now-- Oh, my lord!
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] What else are these guys gonna put themselves through?
How much more can they take?
-[Jerry] Sheamus is-- -[JBL] Whoever…
[Jerry] Sheamus has been through hell.
[JBL] …gets that championship,
I'd say walks out of here, but they're not gonna walk out of here.
You're not gonna be the same.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] And now it's Sheamus.
[crowd chatter]
-[Michael] Sheamus is there. -[Jerry] Yes, he is. He's got it.
[Michael] Sheamus has got his hands on the championship.
-Sheamus is gonna retain the gold -[Jerry] Oh, but Roman, he's got--
[Michael] but Roman Reigns back on the top of the ladder.
-[Jerry] Oh! -[Michael] Superman Punch!
Sheamus crashed in over the top of the ladder,
head-first through a table!
[crowd cheering]
-[Jerry] Come on! -[Michael] This is Roman Reigns' time.
[Jerry] Come on!
[Michael] Superman Punch to lead him to victory.
[Jerry] Come on!
[Michael] Roman Reigns knows it. Here it comes, Reigns.
[JBL] It's finally Roman Reigns' time.
[Michael] Roman Reigns…
-[Jerry] Get the-- -[Michael] Oh, wait a minute!
[Jerry] What is this?!
[Michael] Rusev and Del Rio from the League of Nations,
Sheamus' buddies.
[crowd chatter]
[Michael] This is ridiculous!
-[Jerry] Watch it. -[Michael] Oh, no!
And there are no disqualifications.
Rusev and Del Rio robbing Reigns.
[crowd chatter]
[Jerry] Come on. Is the unthinkable happening here?
[JBL] Sheamus is out of it.
Del Rio… Del Rio going to carry Sheamus up the ladder.
[Michael] Now look at Rusev, though.
Rusev is gonna put The Accolade on Roman Reigns or at least attempt to.
[Rusev speaking Bulgarian]
[Jerry, in English] This is too much.
[JBL] Roman Reigns is gonna get an Accolade and actually watch…
-[Michael] Yeah. -[JBL] …Sheamus go up the ladder.
-[Michael] Maybe not. And Rusev just… -[Jerry] Oh.
[Michael] …knocked out with a Superman Punch by Reigns.
-[Jerry] Here comes Del Rio. -[Michael] Now Del Rio!
[Jerry] Oh. Look out!
[Michael] Superman Punch to Del Rio!
Meanwhile, Sheamus is climbing the ladder.
Sheamus is near the top of the ladder.
[Jerry] Get him, get him.
[Michael] Roman Reigns just realizing now
that Sheamus is closing in on the championship.
Roman Reigns again.
-[Jerry] Oh. -[Michael] Brogue Kick!
[JBL] And he went out of the ring. This is it for Sheamus.
[Michael] That Brogue Kick may have sealed
-Roman Reigns' chances at the title. -[JBL] The Celtic Warrior.
[crowd chatter]
[JBL] The luck of the Irish.
[Jerry] Oh, man.
[JBL] The Irish are on a roll!
[Jerry] Roman Reigns is…
[JBL] Get ready, Emerald Isle…
[Jerry] …down and out.
[JBL] …you got another championship coming home tonight.
[Michael] There's nothing, absolutely nothing, lucky about that.
[Jerry] Look at this. Sheamus is beaten down so bad.
Do you think he deserves to be the champion?
He could barely made it up there with a trampoline.
-[Jerry] What? -[Michael] Sheamus can't believe it.
Roman Reigns is back in the ring.
Sheamus is closing in on the championship.
-[Jerry] He's got it-- Can he get it-- Oh! -[bell ringing]
[crowd cheering]
["Hellfire" playing]
[Lilian] Here is your winner
and still the WWE World Heavyweight Champion,
"The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus.
[Michael] How much more can Roman Reigns take?
[JBL] Well, once again, Roman Reigns came oh-so close.
[Michael] Roman Reigns had the championship won again…
[JBL] WWE's bridesmaid.
[Michael] …before the League of Nations got involved
and cost Roman the championship.
Sheamus remains the WWE World Champion.
[JBL] Maybe it's just a mountain that Roman can't climb.
[Michael] How many more obstacles are gonna be thrown in that man's path?
[Jerry] I mean, you're right.
How much more can Roman Reigns take?
Look at this. He had the championship in hand
and here comes the rest of the League of Nations.
Good grief.
Insurmountable odds.
Oh.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] And then Roman Reigns still able to come back,
but that Brogue Kick
got Roman out of the ring
long enough for Sheamus…
[bell ringing]
[Jerry] …to grab the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
[Michael] And now the celebration.
[JBL] There's a man who knows how to win championships.
[Jerry] Oh, come on.
[JBL] Some guys can win, some guys can't.
[Jerry] The damn League of Nations.
[JBL] Sheamus knows how to win championships.
["Hellfire" playing]
[JBL] Roman Reigns, oh-so close.
Again.
["Hellfire" playing]
-[Michael] Wait a minute! -[Jerry] Ah!
[Michael] Spear!
Toppling the champion, a spear by Reigns.
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] What kind of look do you expect?
What kind of look do you expect?
He just get screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship, again.
[JBL] He's a sore loser.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd cheering]
[Jerry] Roman Reigns, he may be a sore loser but…
[Michael] Roman Reigns just snapped!

[Michael] Reigns has been pushed far enough.
-[Jerry] Good. -[screaming]
[Jerry] Whoa.
-[screaming] -[Jerry] Oh, man.
-[Michael] I mean, can you blame him? -[Jerry] No. I don't blame him a bit.

Same old story again tonight.
Come on. Hey, stop!
-[yells] -[screams]
[Michael] The guy came in second again.
[JBL] Well, it doesn't mean you have to go crazy and go ballistic

Roman, let it go. Come on.
[JBL] The hell is he doing?
[Jerry] JBL, you gotta ask yourself,
how many times has this man--
How many times has Roman Reigns been screwed by Triple H?
[JBL] This is career suicide by Roman Reigns.
-[Michael] It is, and this is his boss. -[Stephanie] This is on you Reigns,
-look at him! -[JBL] It's our boss too.
[Jerry] Yeah. But right now, I'm guaranteeing, in Roman's eyes,

[Michael] Roman, and you gotta think twice about this, Roman.
Roman think about this. Think about your future.

[JBL] That's a career going down the tubes, Roman.
Goodbye.
[crowd cheering]
[JBL] We just witnessed the systematic destruction
of what could have been one hell of a career.
Roman Reigns has thrown every bit of it away.
[Jerry] I agree with you.
[JBL] What the hell is wrong with him?
[Jerry] Roman, Roman.
You're committing career suicide. Stop!
[JBL] He's already done it.

[Michael] …I have ever witnessed out here.
[Jerry] …may have seen the unthinkable here tonight.
[JBL] Roman Reigns just assaulted an officer in a publicly traded company.
[Michael] I mean… and that's the issue.
Everything Roman Reigns has gone through, guys,
and I understand the frustration,
but he just didn't take this out on Sheamus, the League of Nations,
he took this out on the COO of this company.
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Roman.
[JBL] Roman, you're lucky if you just get fired.
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Roman.

[JBL] Cuff him and stop him, get him the hell out of here!
[Michael] Somebody has gotta get this under control.
[Jerry] We're gonna have to call the cops or something.
[crowd cheering]
[Michael] Nobody is safe now.
If Roman Reigns can attack the COO like that,
no one around here is safe.
[referee] That's it. That's it.
[groaning]
-[crowd chanting] Thank you, Roman. -[Michael] They gotta get help out here.
They need doctors, they need a damn ambulance.
[JBL] Yeah. And a straitjacket for that hothead Roman Reigns.
-Get his ass out of here. -[screams]
[Michael] We need medical help out of here.
You're gonna pay for this, Roman!
[JBL] Roman Reigns making wrong choices.
[crowd chatter]
[crowd cheering]
I'm gonna go change now.
