00:00Introducing the challengers first, from St. Louis, Missouri,
00:06weighing 245 pounds, he is the Viper, Randy Orton.
00:13The first WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
00:19Next, weighing 323 pounds, King.
00:27From Pensacola, Florida,
00:33weighing 265 pounds, Roman Reigns.
00:41And from West Newbury, Massachusetts,
00:47weighing 251 pounds, he is the current
00:53WWE World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena.
01:03So again, ladies and gentlemen, all four men in the ring at the same time.
01:06Every man for himself, first man to gain pinfall or
01:09submission becomes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
01:13Cena does not have to be involved in the decision to lose the titles.
01:18Huge match, huge stipulation here.
01:23Orton and Kane perhaps discussing strategy, but
01:25at the end of the day, it's every man for himself.
01:33And we're underway.
01:34Kane and Reigns, Orton and John Cena.
01:37Any strategy, John, to look for out of any of these men here?
01:40You gotta be there to survive.
01:43Orton and Cena take the fight right outside the ring.
01:45You don't wanna spend too much time outside the ring, though.
01:49In case the pinfall or
01:50submission has to happen inside the ring.
01:53Yeah, you know, this is one of those, the old expression,
01:55you gotta have eyes in the back of your hand.
01:57You gotta take care of your own business, but
01:59you gotta watch at all times what's going on behind you.
02:02And you don't necessarily have to do the damage,
02:04you capitalize on whoever does do it.
02:06It's true.
02:07Roman Reigns unwrapped Randy Orton.
02:09They've developed quite the rivalry since the night
02:12Rollins turned his back on the shield.
02:17Orton turning his anger to Reigns that night.
02:21And now Kane with a right hand.
02:27Devil's favorite demon.
02:31And a fight for Randy Orton.
02:33Working as a unit here.
02:35It's so funny, we're making our predictions and
02:38making our picks on who's gonna win this thing.
02:41Nobody, it's almost like Kane is an afterthought.
02:44But the Devil's favorite demon,
02:46he could walk out of here tonight as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
02:50Cena making his way back to the apron.
02:52Kane driving him back to the barricade as Reigns and Randy Orton.
02:55And now Kane.
02:56Reigns caught him in the face, big boot.
03:05You're right about Kane, but for John Cena,
03:08you hate a fatal four-way as a champion.
03:10Oh yeah, your chances are definitely reduced.
03:13And you don't have to be beat, you don't have to be pinned,
03:15you don't even have to be involved in the finish to lose that championship.
03:18Guys, he's surprised by the way that Orton and Kane have been working together
03:21in the early part of this matchup.
03:23Oh, and I think that's why nobody picked Kane initially,
03:26because they thought he'd be there to help Randy Orton.
03:29And again, did you notice-
03:30That was interesting, I know what you're gonna say, Michael.
03:32When Orton went into the cover and Kane immediately went to the ropes
03:35to make sure Cena didn't get back into the match.
03:37I saw it.
03:38To get involved.
03:39Almost standing guard was Kane for the Viper.
03:44And there's Cena, from behind, goes right up to Randy Orton.
03:47Finish him in suplex by John Cena.
03:49Into the cover, hooks the leg on Orton, and it's Kane saving the matchup.
03:56And now Kane and Orton turn their attention to Cena
03:59as Roman Reigns has been taken out momentarily.
04:02Well, this has got to please Triple H and the Authority.
04:05This is exactly what he hoped for.
04:08This is exactly the way he wanted this match to go.
04:13Roman Reigns, bounced off the steel post.
04:16Meanwhile, inside the ring, John Cena running Bulldog to Randy Orton.
04:20And Kane right back in the ring.
04:22And side slam by Kane.
04:25And Kane off the side slam, rolls away again,
04:28allows Orton to go into the cover as he stands guard.
04:31Man, guys, this is just the way the Authority wants it to go down.
04:38That's why they're the Authority.
04:44I didn't think it was going to happen.
04:56Roman Reigns, spent a lot of time outside on the floor.
05:02And Orton stomping away at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
05:06Kane had turned his attention to Roman Reigns.
05:08And every time Randy Orton's in trouble, guys,
05:10Kane comes back in the ring to help out the Viper.
05:13And it seems like Kane is now falling back into line
05:16with the orders of the Authority.
05:25Well, we all know it.
05:27It's just sometimes we forget just how persuasive
05:30Triple H and the Authority can be when they want to be.
05:34Booker T, from our kickoff panel,
05:37said that Orton was politicking Kane earlier tonight.
05:39And it looks like that politicking's worked.
05:41Cover again by Orton.
05:42And a kick out by Cena.
05:45I'm sure it's Randy's politicking that worked.
05:49The Authority had a little something to do with it.
05:51Whatever it is, it's worked.
05:54Believe me, Triple H's had enough problems tonight
05:56with the Ambrose Rollins situation.
05:58He's got to love the fact that Orton and Kane are together.
06:02And it's made things extremely difficult for Reigns
06:04and the reigning champion, Cena.
06:06Well, if you ask me,
06:08I know it's a little unorthodox,
06:11but I think that Cena and, oh, Roman Reigns
06:14are gonna have to form some sort of alliance here.
06:21Just to survive.
06:23Whoa!
06:26Hey, here's your chance.
06:28The champ's got a chance here.
06:30Kane is down.
06:32Yes, he does.
06:33The champ does.
06:34Orton's in trouble.
06:36Five-knuckle shuffle.
06:37Yes!
06:39John Cena measuring his man.
06:42Cena looking for the attitude adjustment.
06:43Randy Orton up top, hanging onto the top rope.
06:46And jumped over the top rope.
06:49And jumped over the top rope.
06:53Here we go!
07:00Well, I think Cena said the same thing,
07:02here we go, but here they come!
07:05Orton and Kane!
07:06And now Randy Orton outside the ring,
07:08targeting John Cena.
07:11Kane and Reigns in the ring.
07:13And, King, I think you're right.
07:14Sometimes you have to make an alliance.
07:15Just get down to the last two
07:17and fight it out among yourselves.
07:18Here we go.
07:19Oh, here's Kane fighting Reigns.
07:21Kane into the cover.
07:23Reigns trying to kick out.
07:24This could be a kick out by Reigns.
07:27I don't think Randy quite understands this.
07:29Hey!
07:33What you talking about?
07:34You're on the floor.
07:35What about this?
07:37What about this back there?
07:39Hey!
07:40You should have done this.
07:41You should have done this.
07:42You should have done this.
07:43You should have done this.
07:44You don't know what you're talking about.
07:46Get out of my face!
07:49It's supposed to be you watching my back,
07:51not you watching my back.
07:53Oh, so much love!
07:56The Push-Up Monster, that's what happens.
07:58Yeah, and Kane now unloading on Randy Orton.
08:00And that uneasy truce is apparently imploded here.
08:05Kane with Orton!
08:06Oh!
08:07The authority can't be too happy about this.
08:09No, not at all.
08:10Randy Orton upset that Kane would go into the cover on Roman Reigns,
08:13let Kane know about it, and Kane finally snapped.
08:16Guys, this is the best thing that John Cena or Roman Reigns could have hoped for.
08:20And now Cena and Reigns-
08:21Yeah, there you go, look at this!
08:23And now it's Cena and Reigns going after Kane and Orton here.
08:29Uh-oh!
08:30Oh, man!
08:33Did you see that?
08:35Randy Orton landing awkwardly.
08:37Orton for the big ride!
08:39A long way down!
08:41And now Cena and Reigns squaring off once again.
08:49This is exactly what you said, JBL.
08:51Uh-oh!
08:52Uh-oh!
08:53Uh-oh!
08:54Cena can't believe that Kane actually sat up,
08:56and now Cena and Reigns right back on Kane.
09:00Well, guys, this is absolutely smart on the part of John Cena and Roman Reigns.
09:05And now Randy Orton back into the fray.
09:09Backbreaker to Reigns.
09:11Boy, I said you need eyes in the back of your head in this match.
09:17And now Orton one-on-one at this juncture with Cena.
09:21Oh!
09:22Oh, Cena and Reigns!
09:23Cena and Reigns!
09:26Are you kidding me?
09:28Now that's vintage Randy Orton!
09:30Oh, man!
09:32Cover one of them, Randy!
09:34Orton gonna try to cover Roman Reigns here.
09:37But now it's Kane breaking it off!
09:39What?
09:40Did Kane break it off?
09:42No, he didn't.
09:43No, he didn't.
09:44No, he didn't.
09:45No, he didn't.
09:46No, he didn't.
09:47No, he didn't.
09:48No, he didn't.
09:49Did Kane just stop Randy Orton from getting a three count?
09:54You better believe he did, Kane.
09:56What in the world?
09:58And now Kane with a right hand to Randy Orton.
10:01Both these men members of The Authority.
10:03That doesn't seem to matter now.
10:07Oh, what a boot!
10:09Kane, cover for the WWE World Title to Roman Reigns!
10:12The Authority must be apoplectic right now.
10:15I wanna tell you, I can't believe it.
10:17I mean, I can't help but smile thinking about Triple H has gotta be living.
10:21Oh!
10:22He's gotta be beside himself.
10:23And look at this now!
10:24Samoan drop, hook to the leg.
10:25He has it!
10:26And it's Randy Orton breaking it up.
10:30Randy Orton saving him, well, saving this match for himself
10:35by keeping Kane from getting pinned.
10:39And here comes Roman Reigns!
10:44Big right hands.
10:45Yeah, first man to gain pinfall submission to the champion.
10:48Randy Orton, what a takedown by Randy.
10:50What a takedown by Randy Orton.
10:52Randy Orton now with a half crab.
10:54Man, listen, you say submission.
10:56Hadn't even thought about that that much,
10:58but this may be what we're gonna see right here.
11:00And Roman Reigns, can he power out?
11:01He does, Roman Reigns does power out.
11:04Roman Reigns, Randy Orton is now all alone.
11:06Before he had Kane helping him.
11:07And now it's Reigns!
11:08Now it's Roman Reigns with a half crab!
11:10And Reigns has got it in good.
11:12Roman Reigns has got it in good.
11:13Center of the ring is Randy Orton.
11:15And now what's Cena doing?
11:16Hey!
11:17John Cena with the STF!
11:19Cena STF!
11:20Reigns crab!
11:21If Orton taps, what happens?
11:23If Orton taps, who gets to win?
11:25A smooth point at this juncture.
11:27Kane breaking things up.
11:28Going for the attitude adjustment as John Cena connects to Kane.
11:32Oh, but Kane able to roll underneath the ropes and out onto the floor.
11:36Look out!
11:38Whoa, no!
11:39And John Cena taking Orton down.
11:42And now John Cena-
11:43No, he's got the STF in!
11:46He's got the back leg hooked this time.
11:50Orton gonna drag-
11:51Can he get to those ropes?
11:52Only had half a minute before on Reigns, but he's got it all on Randy Orton now.
11:55And Randy Orton trying to drag his way to the bottom rope.
11:57John Cena with it locked in.
11:59If Orton taps out, Cena retains the title.
12:01Oh, he's- no.
12:03Randy Orton trying to drag himself to the bottom rope.
12:06John Cena.
12:08John Cena literally drags him back.
12:09Center of the ring.
12:10And now John Cena locked in again.
12:12STF to Orton.
12:13Can Orton hang on or is Orton gonna tap out?
12:15Tap!
12:21Orton's tapped.
12:22But I think Orton may have to tap.
12:24Yeah, what's Randy Orton gonna do here?
12:26Randy Orton may have to tap out.
12:27That means Cena-
12:36Orton.
12:37Come on, Orton!
12:38He's still-
12:39Still got a ways to go.
12:40He's gonna tap.
12:41Orton may tap here.
12:42His hands up.
12:43What?
12:44Look at Roman Reigns.
12:45Roman Reigns playing defensive.
12:47Reigns pulling Orton in.
12:48Oh, and now Randy Orton's sitting right over the announce table.
12:53Randy Orton right over the announce table.
12:55Wow.
