00:00:00Buddy, thrilled you're with us, Joe Tessitore, along with the man who 40 years ago this month
00:00:06was in this very same role, Jesse the Body Venturist with us for Saturday Night Standings.
00:00:14Jesse, you and I had breakfast this morning and over coffee our focus went to the steel cage match
00:00:20and you said when it comes to Drew and Damian Priest, things feel very different. Well first
00:00:26and foremost, I don't drink coffee. Second and foremost, yeah, you're right, the object of this
00:00:33is to get out of the ring. That ain't gonna happen. With McIntyre and Priest, it's gonna
00:00:40stay in the ring and you're gonna see somebody win the match inside the cage and you know,
00:00:47let me just say this, I don't know why anyone would take a cage match because when you go in
00:00:54the cage, you might walk in looking pretty and you can come out looking awful damn ugly. I know
00:01:02you're very excited as well for Jey Uso's title defense against Logan Paul. Yeah, I'm just wondering,
00:01:08do you think Mike Tyson will take another dive? Oh, we will see what happens with that but let's
00:01:14get to the man who will pull all the action, the all-time greatest Michael Cole and the man who
00:01:19was just in the ring two weeks ago, Pat McAfee. Gentlemen, take it away. Thanks, Tessa. Michael
00:01:24Cole, Pat McAfee at ringside and Pat, this building, a lot of memories for you. Yeah,
00:01:30dreams came true in this building. The Thunderdome was here obviously a few years back and I debuted
00:01:35here. I made my name here and this place is spectacular. 1,000 degrees in Tampa Bay,
00:01:40Florida today and it's going to be even hotter in here. Let's go to the action.
00:01:49So
00:01:59oh
00:02:18the following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall introducing first being accompanied
00:02:26by WWE Hall of Famer, the wise man, Paul Heyman at a combined weight of 475 pounds.
00:02:49So for the first time in his career, Seth Rollins has a match at Saturday night's
00:02:54main event teaming with a man who's been in one of these events before,
00:02:58none other than Fraun Breaker and Pat, here's a team along with Paul Heyman that is looking to
00:03:02take control of Monday Night Raw and the WWE. And the dogs are barking down here in Tampa
00:03:08with Seth freaking Rollins and Fraun Breaker and with Paul Heyman in tow.
00:03:14They've been running rough shot on everybody.
00:03:30In a matchup tonight that is extremely personal, especially when it comes to Seth Rollins,
00:03:38CM Punk.
00:04:09So
00:04:25you know, Pat, Seth Rollins said he had respect for Sami Zayn until Sami quote stuck his nose in
00:04:30my business and now it's become personal and Rollins says Sami Zayn is going to get what's
00:04:35coming to him here tonight. Sami Zayn always fighting for what he thinks is right. Pat's been
00:04:40underdog. He's been seeing what Fraun Breaker, Seth freaking Rollins and Paul Heyman have been
00:04:44doing to Monday Night Raw. No obligated to step up and say, uh-uh, this ain't how this is going to go.
00:04:58A lot of history. We'll talk about it between Sami Zayn and Fraun Breaker.
00:05:05CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!cm Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:05:22The roof has been blown off the England Center!
00:05:35And his tag team partner, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 218 pounds, The M Punk!
00:05:58Sam Punk is all business tonight, his first match since Wrestlemania, the night that he
00:06:04was screwed by his long-time best friend, Paul Heyman, the night that Heyman aligned
00:06:11with Seth Rollins and changed the landscape of our industry.
00:06:15And here we go, chaos underway, tag team matchup, this is supposed to be, but Sami Zayn sends
00:06:28Rollins outside the ring to the floor, and now Punk and Sami turn their attention to
00:06:32Braun Breaker, this is going to be an all-out war here tonight on Saturday Night's Main
00:06:37Event.
00:06:38A lot of passion, a lot of hate, you should expect this to be a brawl.
00:06:41And Braun Breaker sent over the top rope as well, and Punk and Sami Zayn on fire early.
00:06:48Clear in house, CM Punk stalking Seth Rollins, uh-oh, Sami Zayn says hello, and we're off!
00:06:58And Sean Bennett, the official, calls for the bell, and we're underway, Sami Zayn sent
00:07:02Rollins, we'll start this matchup tonight, these two long-time friends, total respect
00:07:06for one another, until Sami Zayn decided that, well, he was going to go to the side against
00:07:12Rollins, and Braun Breaker pays dividends.
00:07:17Tag made, and here comes Breaker, the unpredictable badass of Seth Rollins' group, face jumper,
00:07:24tremendous athleticism, you get Breaker now, over the table, through Sami, off the table,
00:07:29a car crash, here at ringside, what a way to start Saturday Night's Main Event, what
00:07:35the, how is that even possible?
00:07:42We are back live on NBC, Saturday Night's Main Event, what a chaotic start to this tag
00:07:48team matchup, Breaker and Rollins against Sami Zayn and CM Punk.
00:07:52It's been an all-out brawl, and it has gotten out of control, and here's Seth Rollins taking
00:07:57advantage of Sean Bennett, our officials.
00:07:59Yeah, Breaker drew the official, and Rollins, with a couple of cheap shots to Sami Zayn,
00:08:05smart move by Breaker, not allowing him to make his way across the ring to make the tag
00:08:09to Punk.
00:08:10Very young in the relationship of Braun Breaker and Seth freaking Rollins, but they've been
00:08:13working together perfectly since they started alongside Paul Heyman.
00:08:16Yeah, great history between the two men in the ring, right now, vertical suplex by Braun
00:08:20Breaker, into the cover, stares right at Punk as Zayn kicks out.
00:08:25Braun Breaker beat Sami Zayn at SummerSlam last year to win the Intercontinental Championship.
00:08:30Yeah, Braun Breaker is an absolute badass, and he's an absolute dog through and through,
00:08:35which is why Seth and Paul thought he was the perfect man to add to their group.
00:08:39Yeah, this is a group of...
00:08:42No name.
00:08:43No, not at all.
00:08:43I'm still seemingly in the development, developmental stages, but looking very good here tonight
00:08:49as Breaker's sent over the top rope to the floor, and Sami, with an opportunity, rolls
00:08:53through.
00:08:54Tag made!
00:08:55Here's Punk!
00:08:58And the five-time world champion, CM Punk, goes to work on the man he hates more than
00:09:05anything on this planet, Seth Rollins.
00:09:08Seth freaking Rollins and CM Punk despise each other, so you know it's gotta feel good.
00:09:15Especially after what Rollins and Heyman did to Punk back at WrestleMania, and Punk now
00:09:19measuring his man.
00:09:20Looking to put Seth Rollins to sleep.
00:09:22Seth, though, able to drop behind, runs into a kick by Punk to the midsection.
00:09:26Wait a minute!
00:09:26Over the top!
00:09:28Cover!
00:09:29Kick out at two!
00:09:32CM Punk!
00:09:34Code red!
00:09:38Absolutely incredible by Punk here tonight, trying to change the game here on Saturday
00:09:44night's main event.
00:09:47He needed a mouth of Seth freaking Rollins.
00:09:50And now Braun Breaker taking out as Punk delivers a Bulldog to Rollins.
00:09:54One man wrecking crew.
00:09:56Get out of the way, Paul Heyman!
00:09:59Heyman's gonna get his one day, no doubt about that.
00:10:02Punk now top rope.
00:10:03I don't know, actually.
00:10:05Feels like it always works out for Punk.
00:10:07To the cockroach.
00:10:08Oh, and there's the elbow!
00:10:09Delivered to Rollins!
00:10:11Hook of the leg now!
00:10:12And another near fall for Punk.
00:10:15Here's CM Punk taking out both Seth and Braun Breaker.
00:10:19Bulldog, clothesline.
00:10:21One CM Punk in control.
00:10:24CM Punk appeared at Saturday night's main event back in 2007 in a tag team matchup.
00:10:30Punk now lifting him up.
00:10:31Braun Breaker looking to save his mentor Rollins and does.
00:10:36Yeah, that's good tag team wrestling there.
00:10:40Ironically, the last time Punk was in a Saturday night's main event in a tag team match, he
00:10:43teamed with the Boogeyman.
00:10:45Pedigree!
00:10:45Pedigree by Rollins!
00:10:47Looking to put Punk away and pick up the win here tonight.
00:10:50And Sami Zayn has to break things up for his tag team.
00:10:56Braun Breaker will handle Sami for that.
00:11:03Sami sent out to the apron.
00:11:05Perfect timing by Sami Zayn, so this match isn't over with.
00:11:08And he dumps Braun Breaker out the side!
00:11:12Emotional powder kegs, all of these men.
00:11:15Zayn now with Breaker outside.
00:11:17Up on top!
00:11:18Oh no!
00:11:18Saul takes out Breaker!
00:11:23Sami taking over!
00:11:30CM Punk marching across the ring to meet his arch nemesis Seth Rollins as our tag team
00:11:36match continues on Saturday night's main event.
00:11:39An electric crowd here tonight, sold out.
00:11:41Yingling Center in Tampa, Florida.
00:11:44These guys have been beating the hell out of each other.
00:11:49And Punk now, looking for the go to sleep, the GTS.
00:11:52Rollins able to slip out of it yet again.
00:11:56Rollins looking for the stomp!
00:11:57Punk moves out of harm's way.
00:11:59Both men down!
00:12:00Collision!
00:12:00Center of the ring.
00:12:02CM Punk set Seth freakin' Rollins up there.
00:12:05Thought he had him instead.
00:12:08Double lariat, both men down.
00:12:10Who has more left in the tank here on Saturday night?
00:12:13And this is a very important match, Pat, for the coalition of Rollins and Breaker.
00:12:18High profile match to prove that they're running things in WWE.
00:12:24Punk makes the tag.
00:12:26Here comes Sami Zayn.
00:12:28And Zayn now with Breaker.
00:12:30And Zayn, using his speed, went for the blue thunder bomb.
00:12:33Breaker able to counter.
00:12:35Breaker looking to use his power.
00:12:36Sami slips underneath again.
00:12:39Sami gonna walk the tightrope.
00:12:42Oh!
00:12:42What a DDT by Sami Zayn, who's fired up here tonight!
00:12:51Sami has his opportunity to end this.
00:12:53Yeah, looking for the halloumi kick and Seth Rollins again.
00:12:57Getting involved.
00:12:58CM Punk said no way he takes Rollins out.
00:13:03Breaker!
00:13:04The exploder into the corner by Sami!
00:13:09He's setting up for a kick.
00:13:11It's not good.
00:13:12Looking for the halloumi kick.
00:13:14It's not great.
00:13:15Heyman grabs Zayn!
00:13:22Paul Heyman just saved this tag team match.
00:13:27I mean, Paul Heyman is the greatest manager in the history of this sport for good reason.
00:13:33Oh my god!
00:13:34Oh my god!
00:13:35Oh my god!
00:13:39Where's the big Bronson Reed?
00:13:44Just eliminated CM Punk!
00:13:49A super spear from God Breaker!
00:13:53And a win for Rollins and company.
00:13:55Where the hell did Bronson Reed come from?
00:13:58The three!
00:13:59Winners of this match, Ron Breaker and Seth freaking Rollins!
00:14:07The 330 pound Ocella!
00:14:12Big Bronson Reed!
00:14:15Demolished CM Punk and set Ron Breaker up to win this.
00:14:24Tag team match.
00:14:25Oh, wait a minute.
00:14:26Wait a minute.
00:14:26Don't get too far ahead of yourself.
00:14:28A lot of history between Reed and Rollins.
00:14:32Yeah, Bronson Reed will fight everybody if we know anything about him.
00:14:38And now squaring off with Ron Breaker.
00:14:42Bronson Reed!
00:14:43Ron Breaker!
00:14:53Of course.
00:14:55You gotta be kidding me.
00:14:57Of course.
00:14:58Of course.
00:15:05Seth Rollins had another play all along.
00:15:12He pulled out a wild card tonight.
00:15:16And Pat, it appears despite all the violent differences between Reed and Rollins in the past.
00:15:23For some reason, Bronson Reed is back with Rollins.
00:15:27And now Punk trying to get to Heyman.
00:15:30Suffering another assault by Reed.
00:15:33Oh, no.
00:15:34We haven't seen this since he left.
00:15:37Rollins knows all about this.
00:15:39A half a dozen tsunamis he suffered at one point in his career at the hands of this man.
00:15:44A storm tsunami to CM Punk!
00:15:54These people are thirsty for another tsunami.
00:15:58But why?
00:16:01After their history, why is Reed with Rollins and Heyman and Breaker?
00:16:10I think if you're Bronson Reed, you think, why not?
00:16:15This dangerous coalition may have just become unstoppable.
00:16:27Wow.
00:16:38Well, very curious to see how Bronson Reed factors into this new group.
00:16:43But I am here with Chelsea Green and her secret hermit.
00:16:47Kathy, Kathy, I have risen from the ashes.
00:16:51Is that an eagle or a phoenix?
00:16:54I was in mourning.
00:16:54But now it is night, Saturday night, main event to be expecting.
00:16:59Guess what?
00:17:00The votes are in, Kathy.
00:17:02And after I beat Selena Vega, I will enter my second term as the greatest, first ever,
00:17:10longest reigning, most dangerous United States women's champion.
00:17:16Thank you for your hervus.
00:17:19Pledge your allegiance.
00:17:21God bless America.
00:17:23Chelsea Green is losing her voice.
00:17:28I do believe she'll always be able to talk no matter what she's battling.
00:17:32And tonight, she's looking to get her title back.
00:17:38The following contest is set for one fall.
00:17:40And it is for the Women's United States Championship.
00:17:47Introducing first, the challenger being accompanied by the secret hervus
00:17:54from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Chelsea Green.
00:17:59You know, Pat, she's been wearing black as of late in mourning for losing the United
00:18:03States Championship.
00:18:04But tonight, she comes out decked out in some red, white, and blue.
00:18:07It seems like she already believes that her, well, second term has begun.
00:18:13And it looks like she's got her swagger back alongside her secret hervus, looking to get
00:18:19her title back on a Saturday night.
00:18:23And Saturday night's main event is presented by Dude Wipes.
00:18:28Best clean, pants down.
00:18:34Yeah, they're telling us to rise.
00:18:39OK, whatever.
00:18:40OK.
00:18:41All right.
00:18:42United States title up for grabs next.
00:18:47Wow, tag team matchup.
00:18:49CM Punk, team with Sami Zayn against Breaker and Rollins.
00:18:52Sami was going for the haluba kick and the win.
00:18:56And then things just fell apart when Heyman got involved.
00:18:58Yeah, the absolute genius.
00:18:59Paul Heyman interrupted, got the ref's back turned, and a return happened of Bronson Reed.
00:19:05Yeah, big Bronson Reed pummeling Punk, driving him through the barricade.
00:19:10Sami was distracted.
00:19:12Breaker hit the spear to pick up the win.
00:19:14And the question would be called, why was Reed out here?
00:19:19We would learn quickly, wouldn't we, Cole, as Seth freaking Rollins
00:19:22embraces big Bronson Reed.
00:19:25Paul Heyman celebrates, and Bron Breaker understands that there is now four.
00:19:32And then the return of the tsunami.
00:19:36Absolutely crushing Punk, and Rollins just changed the game here in WWE again.
00:19:45Turn him into a CM Punk kick, am I right?
00:19:48As Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervis await the arrival of our champions.
00:19:53Very mouthy to us.
00:19:55We didn't stand up for Chelsea.
00:19:57Secret Hervis certainly wanted us to pay our respects.
00:19:59And her opponent from Queens, New York, she is the Women's United States Champion, Zelina Vega.
00:20:17Ladies and gentlemen, for only the third time in the history of Saturday Night's Main Event,
00:20:21a Women's Championship will be on the line.
00:20:24The first is back in the very first Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:20:27Wendy Richter knocking off the fabulous Moolah.
00:20:30And then earlier this year, Rhea Ripley beating Nia Jax.
00:20:33Tonight, Zelina Vega defending the United States Championship against Chelsea Green.
00:20:38Very emotional Zelina Vega in an interview with CBS Sports this week,
00:20:44talking about how she believed this was meant to be,
00:20:47that everything is finally right in her universe,
00:20:50that the reality has set in, that it is no longer a dream.
00:20:54And after 15 years, Pat, of competing,
00:20:57she finally wins her first singles championship in WWE.
00:21:01Second ever United States Champion.
00:21:02That's quite a title for Zelina Vega.
00:21:05She's undefeated against Chelsea Green in the past.
00:21:07This is her first title defense.
00:21:09Obviously got to win your first before you can be the longest reigning.
00:21:11Chelsea Green quickly out of the box and taking the fight to Zelina Vega.
00:21:15Zelina beat Chelsea back at the end of April
00:21:17to win the United States Women's Championship as Zelina bounced off the top turnbuckle.
00:21:24Zelina Vega has a lot of pride in being the United States Champion, as did Chelsea Green.
00:21:32Her secret harvest is obviously a numbers game here that Zelina is going to have to figure out.
00:21:38Zelina, now Chelsea Green and a kick out at two.
00:21:40Zelina has that Chelsea's number, you mentioned it before.
00:21:43Vega 4-0 against Green in singles matches in their career.
00:21:47Oh, and a back elbow by Vega.
00:21:50United States Champion.
00:21:51Nice taking Chelsea down to the mat now.
00:21:56Chelsea in position for Zelina Vega to pay homage to her mentor Rey Mysterio.
00:22:01But Green moves out of harm's way and catches her with a slap.
00:22:04Chelsea Green much taller than Zelina Vega, so she's going to have the reach on her at all times.
00:22:09Zelina Vega is feisty as they come.
00:22:13She loves being the underdog.
00:22:15She said she's learned a lot, of course, from Rey Mysterio,
00:22:17who may be the greatest underdog in the history of the game.
00:22:20Now Chelsea Green dropping Zelina Vega, spine first to the floor.
00:22:26A powerbomb from Chelsea Green who wants her United States title back.
00:22:30And champion's advantage in this match.
00:22:32A hook to the leg now.
00:22:33Vega's got a kick at two.
00:22:35Green needs to pin or submit Zelina Vega to win the championship tonight.
00:22:39Chelsea Green will get distracted every once in a while, but a powerbomb on the outside
00:22:43then immediately brings Zelina back in the ring to try to get the pin.
00:22:46Feels like she's locked in.
00:22:50And Chelsea Green now getting to dominate this match with Vega.
00:22:58The inaugural United States women's champion.
00:23:05Big slap from Chelsea Green.
00:23:09She won the championship here on Saturday night's main event.
00:23:11The end of the tournament.
00:23:12Cover now by Green for the title and a kick out.
00:23:15Zelina kicking out there at two.
00:23:16But you gotta wonder, Chelsea's been in control here.
00:23:19A lot of big time shots since that powerbomb.
00:23:23Zelina tough as they come.
00:23:25Zelina Vega will not give up without a fight.
00:23:27But Green now is dominating.
00:23:30See Piper Nivenelva fire outside the ring looking on.
00:23:35Secret purpose.
00:23:36You get it?
00:23:37Because Chelsea Green is hurt.
00:23:38Right.
00:23:40Zelina's our champion.
00:23:42And she's also on her back yet again.
00:23:43Chelsea Green in complete control.
00:23:45Well, you're the best analyst in the business.
00:23:47Yeah.
00:23:49We're going to be joined by the legendary analyst.
00:23:52Jesse, the body of Ventura.
00:23:53The governor joining us for the big steel cage match later on tonight.
00:23:58He's looking for destruction in that steel cage.
00:24:00You said somebody's leaving that thing ugly tonight.
00:24:03As only the body could.
00:24:04Is Zelina fighting back on Chelsea Green?
00:24:08Boom.
00:24:09Big boom.
00:24:11As Chelsea continues to dominate.
00:24:15Chelsea had told me earlier today that she wanted to wear down Zelina Vega.
00:24:20I believe the longer this match goes, the better it is for Green to
00:24:23regain her United States Women's Championship.
00:24:26She's been doing some missions.
00:24:27She's been.
00:24:28Oh, nobody home.
00:24:29Vega rolls out of harm's way.
00:24:31And now Zelina Vega.
00:24:33Her secret harvest actually told her to do that.
00:24:35It backfired quickly.
00:24:37As Zelina Vega was looking for one thing that she could flip momentum.
00:24:41She found it.
00:24:42Now Zelina trying to fight back in this.
00:24:46Zelina favoring her left elbow.
00:24:49Big clothesline takes down Green.
00:24:50And this is what Chelsea had to be afraid of.
00:24:53Zelina picking up some momentum using her quickness.
00:24:56Yeah, high speed affair is good for Zelina.
00:24:58Oh, nice back suplex by Zelina Vega.
00:25:00Into a kip up now.
00:25:01And the champ's rolling.
00:25:06Into the corner.
00:25:08And the knees take out Green.
00:25:10Sideways double knees.
00:25:12I like that from Zelina.
00:25:14And now Zelina Vega.
00:25:16Up to the second rope.
00:25:17Focusing on Green.
00:25:18Green ducks out of harm's way.
00:25:19Zelina's got to roll through.
00:25:22And wow.
00:25:24Wow, the power being displayed by Chelsea Green.
00:25:26And now looking for the unpretty her.
00:25:29Her finishing move.
00:25:30But Zelina Vega with a backstabber.
00:25:37Zelina's asking Tampa to rally.
00:25:39What?
00:25:41Oh, she got caught up.
00:25:42She didn't catch it clean.
00:25:43But she still caught her in the bridge of the nose.
00:25:48And now the secret purpose trying to get involved.
00:25:51Referee distracted.
00:25:52Piper Niven dragging Vega down off the top rope.
00:25:56This dude dropped her right up there on the turnbuckle.
00:26:02And now Vega with a headbutt trying to battle back.
00:26:05Oh, Zelina Vega.
00:26:08Vega now.
00:26:09Chelsea Green in trouble.
00:26:11Zelina Vega from way up top.
00:26:15Code Red from the top rope.
00:26:17Cover now.
00:26:19And a win for Zelina Vega.
00:26:24Here is your winner and still the Women's United States Champion, Zelina Vega.
00:26:37Zelina Vega retains her United States Championship tonight.
00:26:40Secret Harvest had no idea.
00:26:42They thought Chelsea was going to pick up the win.
00:26:44They were waving American flags on the outside and on the second rope.
00:26:48Zelina Vega was setting Chelsea Green up for a Code Red to retain her title.
00:26:54She remains undefeated against Chelsea Green.
00:26:56She remains our United States Champion as Chelsea's busted open.
00:27:01I'm for Sirius XM.
00:27:05What a fight.
00:27:07What a title.
00:27:09Well, ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, John Cena, the record 17-time champion.
00:27:17We'll take on the man who says he wants to return John Cena to his normal self.
00:27:22R-Truth.
00:27:23Cena and Truth coming up on Saturday night's main event.
00:27:30Hey, just announced John Cena, Logan Paul,
00:27:32Beggy Lynch, and Tiffany Stratton will compete in Fanatics Games at Fanatics Fest New York City
00:27:37June 20th to the 22nd.
00:27:39For the first time ever, the world's biggest athlete, celebs, and 50 lucky fans
00:27:43will take part in Fanatics Games decathlon style across eight fast-paced,
00:27:47referee-led challenges, each testing a different skill.
00:27:50At stake, two million in prizes, leaderboard glory, and bragging rights that will last forever.
00:27:55Emanating from the Jacob Javits Center,
00:27:57don't miss the chance to see your favorite WWE superstars, Cody Rhodes,
00:28:02John Cena, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul,
00:28:05Becky Lynch, and Tiffany Stratton compete alongside a stacked lineup of athletes and celebrities,
00:28:10including Tom Brady, Alex Rodriguez, Jaden Daniels, Gronk, Kevin Durant, and more.
00:28:18Saturday night's main event in Tampa tonight, and man, the stars are out, including this man.
00:28:24A Hall of Famer, one of the greatest managers of all time, the Mountain of the South,
00:28:28Jimmy Hart, managed in over 30 Saturday night main events over the years.
00:28:34Another Hall of Famer here as well, Bushwhacker Luke is here.
00:28:42Hall of Famer, terrific tag team, captivated audiences around the world,
00:28:45and in fact, Jimmy Hart's Nasty Boys once beat the Bushwhackers
00:28:50in a Saturday night main event back in the 1980s.
00:28:54That's a lightning rod, so is Jimmy Hart.
00:28:56Great to see all the legends that helped this company get to where it is today.
00:28:59Hey, we're in Tampa tonight, two weeks from tonight,
00:29:01big doubleheader comes your way live from Los Angeles.
00:29:04The nightcap, of course, is Money in the Bank.
00:29:06That takes place at the Intuit Dome, but at 3 Eastern, 12 noon Pacific, Worlds Collide.
00:29:14Tremendous event.
00:29:15It takes place, again, at the Kia Forum.
00:29:18It'll be on YouTube, WWE's YouTube channel.
00:29:21And Vikingo in action against Chad Gable, and man, if you have not had a chance to experience
00:29:28Vikingo, you are in for a very special treat.
00:29:32The Mexican luchador, of course, part of Triple A, which was acquired by WWE, is exciting.
00:29:38He's exhilarating.
00:29:39The man Vikingo with a big ovation here tonight in Tampa for Saturday night's main event.
00:29:48Well, John and Pat, I should say, in a matter of moments,
00:29:51John Cena will be out here in a match against R-Truth.
00:29:54Remember, this will be the last time he's in Tampa,
00:29:57because the John Cena Retirement Tour is now underway.
00:30:00Yeah, there's a lot of John Cena shirts in the arena, as there is everywhere.
00:30:03I'll be excited to see what the reaction, how it all goes.
00:30:05Well, the Retirement Tour, in my mind, hasn't quite gone the way we expected.
00:30:18Go ahead, go ahead.
00:30:21It's been the same damn noise for 25 years.
00:30:28I've been the victim of an abusive relationship.
00:30:37When I first got here, oh, you let me know really loud that you hated me.
00:30:45So what did I do?
00:30:46I went and I changed myself, hoping that you would like me a little bit, but then it wasn't enough.
00:30:53So what did I do?
00:30:54I worked hard like I always do, and I started to win.
00:30:59Oh, I won a lot, and you hated it.
00:31:03It wasn't enough.
00:31:08All you do is be hurtful, and you take, and you only care about yourselves.
00:31:16You don't wear this for support.
00:31:18You wear it to make you feel good.
00:31:21You wear words like hustle, loyalty, and respect.
00:31:25I live them every day.
00:31:44I don't need you anymore.
00:31:46I don't care about you.
00:31:49And you don't matter to me.
00:31:53I am going to ruin wrestling for every fan, for every wrestler, for everyone.
00:32:07I will be the last real champion in WWE, and there is nothing you can do to stop me.
00:32:19R-Truth claims he's going to try to stop Cena.
00:32:24It is reality check time, and R-Truth's mind for the greatest of all time.
00:32:29Cena, Truth, live next on Saturday Night Main Event.
00:32:37Seven days a week, 365 days a year.
00:32:41This is a calculated, coordinated production.
00:32:45It's time.
00:32:46We're going to lift the curtain.
00:32:48What is the story of 2025?
00:32:50I won't put a rocket on your head.
00:32:53Is everybody okay?
00:32:54Everybody's good.
00:32:55Keep going.
00:32:57Amazing.
00:32:57This is awesome.
00:32:58Amazing.
00:32:59Yes.
00:33:05One epic weekend coming to Atlanta in July.

00:33:35Best clean, pants down.
00:33:42Beautiful night in Tampa Bay.
00:33:46Let's go, B-girls, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls, let's go, B-girls
00:34:17Who can't be compassion?
00:34:22Who can't be compose?
00:34:25Who can't be compassionate?
00:34:29Who can't be complacent?
00:34:33There's no coming home tonight
00:34:39I don't want no divorce
00:34:43I don't want no divorce
00:34:46The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:35:04Introducing first, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds, he is the undisputed
00:35:13WWE Champion, John Cena!
00:35:20A very interesting reaction, of course, for John Cena tonight.
00:35:23When the initial music hits, the crowd comes to its feet, and then when Cena appears, he's
00:35:29booed out of the building.
00:35:34Ladies and gentlemen, he is the greatest of all time, the never seen, 17, gracing Tampa
00:35:47with his presence for the final time, the last real champion, John Cena!
00:36:00Despite his recent actions, I still believe you are looking at the greatest of all time,
00:36:05the 17 time, record setting, world champion, John Cena.
00:36:10A lot of people wearing John Cena shirts, booing his ass.
00:36:21And here comes perhaps his biggest fan, decked out in old school Cena gear.
00:36:35That's Ron Cena, baby!
00:36:37And his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, R-Truth!
00:36:49Well, there was an interesting statistic we saw a bit earlier, the fact that R-Truth
00:36:54and his career is two and one, versus John Cena.
00:36:57Cena, however, beat him with a championship on the line, a capital punishment.
00:37:01But R-Truth said tonight, he has one job, and that job is to beat hustle, loyalty, and
00:37:10respect back into his hero, John Cena, tonight.
00:37:16Let's not forget, Cena beat Randy Orton thanks to R-Truth, and how did Cena repay him?
00:37:21He A&M'd him to a table during a press conference.
00:37:24Remember, John Cena is R-Truth's childhood hero.
00:37:31And John Cena just disrespects the hell out of him.
00:37:35And Cena, wasting a little time!
00:37:39Jason Ayers, the official, calls for the bell, and John Cena now assaulting R-Truth, as the
00:37:44matchup just gets underway.
00:37:46Obviously upset with the fact that Truth came out here, trying to be the good John Cena,
00:37:52I guess you would put it.
00:37:54The WWE fans reacted positively.
00:37:57Could also be some PTSD of previous days for John Cena.
00:38:02Cena! Cena! Cena!
00:38:15Currently have 11 of the top 20 trends on X right now, and I think there's another one
00:38:20or two about to join.
00:38:23Cena and Ron Cena are putting on a fight here in Tampa.
00:38:27John Cena's last time ever here in a city that he calls one of his homes.
00:38:33Yeah, and John Cena, of course.
00:38:37Ron Cena lost both of his earrings as John Cena disgustingly throws him back on top of him.
00:38:42Well, here in Tampa, Florida, John Cena won the 10th of his record-setting 17 titles back
00:38:49in 2011, excuse me.
00:38:51You can't have John Cena!
00:38:58And a shoulder tackle by Cena.
00:39:04He calls himself the greatest of all time.
00:39:07You call him the greatest of all time.
00:39:09A lot of people do in half this arena saying that he can't wrestle.
00:39:12I think he might have just pissed off John Cena.
00:39:15And now another shoulder tackle.
00:39:17Cena taking his time, much more deliberate than he has been in the past.
00:39:21Truth looking to fight back, and Cena now going to take him down and put him in position
00:39:30for his vintage five-knuckle shuffle, which connects.
00:39:37Vintage John Cena here.
00:39:39Measuring Truth for an attitude adjustment.
00:39:42Truth, though, able to slip out underneath, and R-Truth now looks to build momentum.
00:39:45Shoulder tackle of his own.
00:39:46And now R-Truth with another shoulder tackle.
00:39:48This looks familiar, a little deja vu.
00:39:51Yeah, this is vintage Cena that Truth is putting on display here.
00:39:59You can't beat me!
00:40:01Listen to this place.
00:40:04Five-knuckle shuffle by Truth.
00:40:08Truth's got Cena up.
00:40:11Truth with an A-A!
00:40:14Truth's going to, is he going to beat Cena?
00:40:16And a kick out by John at two.
00:40:19Near fall by Truth, using all of John Cena's moves in his repertoire.
00:40:25They're going to take another one now.
00:40:26The STF locked in.
00:40:30The STF locked in on Cena, who goes to the ropes to force the break.
00:40:36John Cena should know every one of these moves better than anybody else on Earth.
00:40:41Yeah, but R-Truth delivered them perfectly to take control of this match.
00:40:45I talked to Truth earlier today.
00:40:46I asked him, what's gotten into John Cena in your mind?
00:40:49He compared Cena to Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
00:40:52Became power hungry.
00:40:54Going after the gold as Truth is whipped into the steel post now by Cena.
00:41:00John Cena throws Truth back into the ring, and what's he thinking here?
00:41:06We've seen him do this time and time again.
00:41:08John Cena with the title in hand.
00:41:10Again, the title's not on the line in this matchup.
00:41:13John Cena, I believe, just wants to embarrass and do damage to R-Truth tonight above and beyond anything else.
00:41:22Can't use that, says Jason Ayers, the referee.
00:41:24Put R-Truth down for good.
00:41:32Maybe this is the moment.
00:41:34Maybe John Cena has reconsidered.
00:41:37Maybe he has a conscience.
00:41:39Saw a look in the eyes of one of his admirers and said,
00:41:42maybe this isn't the way I need to be.
00:41:50Well, this is for the WWE fans, I mean.
00:41:54Oh!
00:41:55Cena went low!
00:41:57AA delivered!
00:41:59One, two, three!
00:42:05Here is your winner, the undisputed WWE champion, John Cena!
00:42:18Well, John Cena suckered some of us in tonight.
00:42:25Decided not to use the championship, instead decided to go low once again.
00:42:30Which has become sort of his calling card lately.
00:42:33And now the title off the face of Truth.
00:42:37Again, no reason for that.
00:42:40Yet another despicable act.
00:42:45By John Cena.
00:42:47The goat rams the title off the head of another victim as he walks out of here.
00:42:54The same way he walked in.
00:42:58And again, Pat, the problem with this, and we said it earlier,
00:43:02this is nowhere close to how people believe John Cena would be spending his final year,
00:43:07his retirement year, here in WWE.
00:43:10Especially here in Tampa, a place he calls home, a place he's done a lot of great for.
00:43:14We were hoping for a make-a-wish, a positive night.
00:43:16Instead, it ends with a kick in the balls and then a title to the head and down goes Ron Cena.
00:43:22Well, ladies and gentlemen, switching gears now.
00:43:25We're gonna head into a matchup that's extremely personal.
00:43:28It has been violent, it has been vicious, and it's been physical.
00:43:31And tonight it will end inside a steel cage.
00:43:39Drew, it feels like we're stuck in a cycle.
00:43:48We sabotage each other until we destroy everything.
00:43:53I'm banged up, frustrated.
00:43:56Most of all, I'm pissed off at myself for getting stuck in this vortex
00:44:01that is Drew McIntyre's petty, childish, vindictive, endless cycle.
00:44:09That so-called Drew McIntyre vortex you're in is the only reason you're relevant.
00:44:15You're obsessed with me.
00:44:17You look at me and you see everything you've ever wanted.
00:44:20I am better than you in every single way.
00:44:24A backlash.
00:44:26I would have been a Grand Slam champion if it wasn't for you.
00:44:31This has to end.
00:44:33At Saturday night's main event, I want you to feel real pain.
00:44:39I want this to happen inside a steel cage.
00:44:42Only one man is going to walk out of that cage.
00:44:46The other is leaving on a stretcher.
00:44:50Anarchy, violence.
00:44:53I hope this is what you wanted, Drew, because it's what you're going to get.
00:44:56The cycle ends here.
00:45:03And tonight, it's over.
00:45:08And tonight, it's nearly two-year-old rivalry ends inside that structure.
00:45:14It's the steel cage where you win via escape, pinfall, or submission.
00:45:19In a match presented by Dude Wipes, because wetter cleans better.
00:45:24It is a steel cage match. Priest McIntyre, live on NBC.
00:45:38Tomorrow.
00:45:40With the lines of battle having been drawn, tensions are high.
00:45:44No surrender.
00:45:46The Dark Angels, the Juggernauts, battle for the NXT Women's title.
00:45:51No retreat.
00:45:53For the first time ever, the TNA Championship will be defended on a WWE Premium Live event.
00:45:59No fear.
00:46:02Ladies and gentlemen, the world champion, Jey Uso, in our main event.
00:46:06Tonight, we'll defend against Logan Paul here on Saturday Night's main event.
00:46:15Jey Uso.
00:46:17Been a long time.
00:46:20John Cena.
00:46:22Last time I saw him, I thought he was John Cena.
00:46:26Been a long time.
00:46:28John Cena.
00:46:30Last time I seen you, I threw you out the window, Royal Rumble, Uso.
00:46:37That's good.
00:46:39Very funny.
00:46:42I'm glad you remember the last time we saw each other.
00:46:46I'm looking forward to the next time I see you.
00:46:51You see, there's something special about you being from one of the most prestigious families in the history of our industry
00:46:59and losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Logan Paul.
00:47:04Wouldn't it be something if when my clock strikes zero, I take this championship home with me
00:47:13and that championship is around the waist of a YouTuber.
00:47:20Sounds like that would almost ruin wrestling.
00:47:26Gosh, that's a lot of pressure for the match tonight.
00:47:30Good luck, champ.
00:47:32I'll be watching closely.
00:47:37Not on Jey Uso's mind as he defends the world title tonight.
00:47:40Many legends here tonight at Saturday night's main event as well, including Elani Kai,
00:47:47former women's champion, two-time tag team champion,
00:47:50competed against Wendy Richter in the first ever WrestleMania.
00:47:54Also here tonight, the legendary Native American star, Tataka,
00:47:59once won 82 singles matches without a loss.
00:48:03He was in three WrestleManias, 18 premium live events in his career.
00:48:07And speaking of legends, joining us here at ringside, the governor, Jesse Damani Ventura.
00:48:12Now, Jesse, back in January 1986, you competed here on Saturday night's main event in Tampa.
00:48:17Let's take it to the tape and tell us what happened.
00:48:19Well, what happened here is I set a record.
00:48:22Never before in the history of broadcasting had somebody gone from the broadcast booth down to the ring,
00:48:31wrestled, and when he was done, went back up and finished the broadcast.
00:48:36And now, as I understand it, my colleague, this guy right here, McAfee,
00:48:44tried to steal my record by getting into the ring as a color commentator.
00:48:50How dare you try to do what Jesse Ventura did.
00:48:54The only reason that I'm not blasting you right now is because you lost and I won.
00:49:01Let's get set for the steel cage match. Let's go to Lillian Garcia.
00:49:06Well, actually, I admire Pat for doing it.
00:49:11He's the second broadcaster in history to climb into a ring.
00:49:18Football, baseball, none of them do it.
00:49:21The only way to win is by pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage through the cage door,
00:49:27or climbing over the top with both feet hitting the floor.
00:49:33I'm actually undefeated at WrestleMania, Jesse, but who wants to talk about that?
00:49:38Certainly not this man.
00:49:40You're undefeated. Who the hell do you wrestle?
00:49:44I was not good, Bobby.
00:49:48He's never lost.
00:49:49Hey, I'll tell you something here, guys.
00:49:52I don't understand why McIntyre would agree to get into a cage.
00:49:56He's 3-0 in steel cages in his career.
00:49:59I don't care. He's a good-looking guy.
00:50:02You can be a good-looking guy, and after a steel cage match, you ain't good-looking anymore.
00:50:08Ugly.
00:50:10Nasty.
00:50:12Steel cage.
00:50:15Introducing first, Premier Scotland, weighing in at 275 pounds, Drew McIntyre!
00:50:25A couple prior steel cage matches in Saturday Night's Main Event history,
00:50:29both included Hulk Hogan, one against Paul Orndorff, the other against the Big Boss Man.
00:50:35Drew McIntyre is on a mission to destroy Damian Priest, Jesse.
00:50:41Oh yeah, and I'll tell you this.
00:50:43I can say this honestly, Pat.
00:50:46If it were Saturday Night's Main Event back in the 80s,
00:50:50I do not think NBC would allow a cage match on TV.
00:50:54So the times indeed have changed when you can get a cage match on NBC.
00:51:01They certainly have, and what these two men are about to do to each other inside of it,
00:51:05it's probably tough to watch, I do believe, Bobby.
00:51:08Well, you know, the object is to escape,
00:51:11but I got the feeling neither one of these guys give a damn about escaping.
00:51:16Well, ladies and gentlemen, this steel cage match tonight on Saturday Night's Main Event
00:51:21is presented by Dude White, because wetter cleans better.
00:51:27So Drew McIntyre, this started a couple years ago at WrestleMania
00:51:30when he won the World Championship, held it for just over five minutes
00:51:33before Damian Priest cashed in money in the bank to take the title from McIntyre.
00:51:39And ever since then, these men have detested one another.
00:51:55The thing about this too, Pat, remember this.
00:51:59When a cage match happens, you're not going to see much wrestling.
00:52:04All fight.
00:52:05Exactly.
00:52:12I've been in a few of them in my career,
00:52:15and there's something that you kind of want to forget about.
00:52:25And his opponent, from New York City,
00:52:28weighing in at 249 pounds,
00:52:32Damian Priest!
00:52:35You know, recent history between these two,
00:52:37Priest eliminated McIntyre from the rumble,
00:52:39eliminated McIntyre from the chamber.
00:52:41McIntyre caused Priest to be eliminated from the chamber.
00:52:44McIntyre won at WrestleMania.
00:52:46They were in a fatal throwaway war
00:52:48where a salt of heaven was delivered from the stands to a table.
00:52:52Priest had his teeth knocked through his cheek.
00:52:55McIntyre almost knocked out Cole.
00:52:58Serious neck injury from that,
00:53:00and tonight they do it inside a steel cage.
00:53:02And like I said, I do not believe 35 years ago
00:53:06you would have had this on network television.
00:53:09Well, you've got it tonight on NBC.
00:53:14Damian Priest, who recently had what he called
00:53:17the highlight of his career,
00:53:19and McIntyre wasted a little time
00:53:21going right after Damian Priest.
00:53:23Match will not start until they're locked in the cage.
00:53:26Door is not being shut.
00:53:28You know, they may not even get to the cage.
00:53:30Well, they've been fighting all over the place.
00:53:32Just look at what happened on SmackDown last night.
00:53:34Drew McIntyre said it's on sight.
00:53:36Uh-oh. Remember, no disqualifications in this matchup,
00:53:39and McIntyre going to take full advantage
00:53:42as he sends some steel chairs into the ring.
00:53:45And brings some luggage with him inside that steel cage.
00:53:48Door slammed shut, and a match is underway,
00:53:51and Priest catches him with a right hand.
00:53:53Any strategy, Jesse, in a match like this?
00:53:56No, what it is, survival.
00:53:59This is about survival.
00:54:01Surviving in there, you're going to get your face
00:54:04rammed into the fence.
00:54:06You know, turnbuckles will be outdated right there.
00:54:11You know, you see that?
00:54:13He ain't looking to hit a turnbuckle.
00:54:15He's looking to put his head through the fence.
00:54:17So, Jesse, how do you mentally prepare yourself
00:54:19for going inside a steel cage off the flatliner?
00:54:22Well, my best attitude was, get ready.
00:54:26You're going in there for the fight of your life,
00:54:29and it's survival.
00:54:31To me, you go in a cage, it's about surviving the cage.
00:54:36When I was making earlier, I called it a career high
00:54:39when Damian Priest, a couple of weeks ago,
00:54:41Pat was inducted with a star
00:54:43on the Bronx-New York Walk of Fame.
00:54:45But it was so important to him and his family,
00:54:47as Priest now looks to put McIntyre away.
00:54:50Well-earned, well-deserved for Damian Priest
00:54:52as he's getting his eyes gouged by Drew McIntyre.
00:54:55No rules.
00:54:56Again, everything legal in this matchup.
00:54:58Yeah, you know, that's the difficult thing here, too.
00:55:02Your referee, the only thing the referee can do
00:55:06is count him out.
00:55:07That's Daphne Lassonde in this matchup,
00:55:09as McIntyre is taking control.
00:55:11Drew claims that Damian is obsessed with him,
00:55:14that he's been drawn into the Drew McIntyre
00:55:16vortex, and now Priest set into the steel cage.
00:55:22McIntyre has taken over.
00:55:29Drew McIntyre trying to escape the cage
00:55:32here on Saturday night's main event,
00:55:33and Damian Priest trying to intercept McAfee
00:55:36and call it ringside with the legendary
00:55:38Governor Jesse the Body Ventura
00:55:40enjoying this matchup tonight,
00:55:41and Jesse, it's been physical.
00:55:43I will tell you this,
00:55:44I ain't so much enjoying it,
00:55:46I'm feeling the pain, too.
00:55:48Oh, no, speaking of pain,
00:55:49Priest looks like he was going to go for the razor's edge,
00:55:52and McIntyre just saved himself.
00:55:54Hey, yo, that would have been a game-set match.
00:55:57Damian Priest would have been able to climb up
00:55:59over this fence and get the hell out of here.
00:56:01A lot of these guys have been eating steel
00:56:03here since the beginning.
00:56:04McIntyre now, top rope.
00:56:07Priest able to duck underneath.
00:56:09Big kick by Priest.
00:56:11McIntyre back up.
00:56:13Priest catches him.
00:56:14Priest now.
00:56:15South Manhattan choke slam.
00:56:17Priest for the win.
00:56:18Cover on McIntyre.
00:56:19And a kick out at two.
00:56:21Oh, two and a half.
00:56:23And that is Priest's bread and butter move.
00:56:26But you know what?
00:56:27Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
00:56:30Indeed.
00:56:31Land bocce, and that is close right there.
00:56:34Incredible atmosphere here tonight in Tampa.
00:56:37Saturday night's main event on NBC.
00:56:39Is this the final chapter in the rivalry
00:56:41between Priest and McIntyre inside a steel cage?
00:56:45Priest now maybe trying to escape up over the top.
00:56:48Left feet would have to hit the floor,
00:56:49and McIntyre playing defense.
00:56:53Couldn't get the one, two, three,
00:56:54so he said, I'm going to climb the cage
00:56:56and get the hell out of here.
00:56:57Drew McIntyre says, I'll see you at the top.
00:57:00I don't know.
00:57:01If he gets away, he'll make it.
00:57:03Dangerous guy.
00:57:04I don't think he's getting away.
00:57:07McIntyre's got him hooked.
00:57:09He's got him hooked.
00:57:10He's got him hooked.
00:57:11He's looking to grab the tights and get a grip.
00:57:14When he gets that, oh, yeah.
00:57:16Superplex.
00:57:18Priest coming from the top of the cage.
00:57:23Tip-off Drew McIntyre.
00:57:25And McIntyre is ready to put Priest away.
00:57:29What a move that was, huh?
00:57:31Looking for the Claymore.
00:57:33Three, two, one.
00:57:37Claymore by McIntyre.
00:57:39For the win, inside the cage,
00:57:42and a kick out by Priest.
00:57:47Tampa's on fire.
00:57:48I'll tell you, you know,
00:57:50I want to keep track of these referees
00:57:52and their timing on this one, two, three.
00:57:57Every ref has their own count.
00:57:58That's certainly a piece of information you have.
00:58:00They all have their own count,
00:58:02but they need to be consistent with that count
00:58:05throughout the entire match.
00:58:07Indeed it is.
00:58:08The sold-out crowd of the Englings Center
00:58:10in Tampa, Florida,
00:58:12roaring their approval for this steel cage match
00:58:15between McIntyre and Priest.
00:58:18They're both down to guts right now.
00:58:21Look at that.
00:58:22Both out of gas.
00:58:23Yeah, tremendous.
00:58:24Nobody's got nothing left in the tank right now.
00:58:26Well, they've been through wars, Jesse,
00:58:28over the past number of months.
00:58:30I mean just tonight.
00:58:32The tanks are emptying.
00:58:34Well, maybe not.
00:58:35Second wind perhaps coming from both McIntyre and Priest.
00:58:38And Priest using that martial arts background
00:58:41in a big right hand.
00:58:43These men will fight forever,
00:58:44and they have if you let them.
00:58:48Damian Priest.
00:58:49And Priest now into the corner.
00:58:51Every piece of his body's a weapon.
00:58:53A weapon to Claymore.
00:58:54Priest hung on.
00:58:55Averted disaster there for the win.
00:58:58Another cover near fall.
00:59:01Uh-oh.
00:59:04And McIntyre delivers his own self to heaven.
00:59:08Taking Priest's move,
00:59:10and Priest able to kick out at two.
00:59:13Jesse, what does McIntyre have to do?
00:59:18Well, he's got to speed up the ref count.
00:59:20Okay, obviously.
00:59:22Other than that body,
00:59:23I think Drew McIntyre saw Damian Priest
00:59:26try to play more earlier and said,
00:59:27is that funny?
00:59:28I'm going to use your move, too.
00:59:29These two have fought each other so much.
00:59:30I assume they know each other inside and out.
00:59:33Yeah, Priest.
00:59:34And obviously no one has any move patented to themselves
00:59:38because certainly anyone can do anything in there.
00:59:41Priest, as tough as they come.
00:59:44McIntyre now staring back down at the steel chair
00:59:47that he sent into the ring before this matchup even started.
00:59:51Now going to use it as a weapon
00:59:53and right to the midsection of Priest.
00:59:56And unloading to the spine.
00:59:58And then again, no disqualification.
01:00:02So the one and only time
01:00:04you can get away with that stuff in the ring.
01:00:07Again, your point that the official only counts
01:00:09the pinfallers, the submission in this matchup.
01:00:13Other officials outside the ring
01:00:14to see if both feet hit the floor.
01:00:16Do they get a full paycheck then
01:00:18if that's all they got?
01:00:19Of course.
01:00:20Putting themselves in danger, obviously.
01:00:21They're in a steel cage.
01:00:22Jesse, they have the McAfee deal.
01:00:25Okay.
01:00:26Always get paid in full, brother.
01:00:27They got the McAfee deal, huh?
01:00:30No, because I mean, they don't have to do anything
01:00:33but count pinfall.
01:00:34I would think you'd get a discount on that.
01:00:37McIntyre now believes he's got this one won
01:00:40as he drags Priest back up.
01:00:43Oh, wait a minute.
01:00:44Oh, now, look it.
01:00:45Now, the way that chair's positioned,
01:00:47this is how McIntyre beat Priest in WrestleMania.
01:00:50But tonight, the Claymore
01:00:53misses Priest.
01:00:55Into the chair goes McIntyre.
01:00:57And now it's Priest's opportunity.
01:00:59With the chair.
01:01:01He goes low.
01:01:04Can he go high?
01:01:06Yep.
01:01:07And Priest now.
01:01:09Oh, no.
01:01:10The chair right to the throat.
01:01:17And Priest now with another south to heaven.
01:01:20McIntyre.
01:01:21I mean, problems breathing here.
01:01:25Might have trouble eating for the next few months, too.
01:01:29Priest better quit looking around at the crowd
01:01:32and finish him off when he's got the shot.
01:01:35Yeah, Priest has got a mouse growing under the left eye.
01:01:38He's dinging around too much.
01:01:40Well, wait a minute.
01:01:41I believe he doesn't want to pin McIntyre here.
01:01:44He wants to punish the man that's made his life
01:01:46a living hell for the last two years.
01:01:48A concerto, potentially, here.
01:01:50Well, McIntyre's in trouble.
01:01:53He's thinking concerto called.
01:01:55Damian Priest with McIntyre.
01:01:58Isn't moving.
01:01:59Center of the ring.
01:02:00Priest with said concerto.
01:02:04That is the same move that he used to eliminate his mentor,
01:02:08the man who invented the concerto,
01:02:11edge a number of years ago.
01:02:13And tonight, he uses it against his archenemy,
01:02:16Drew McIntyre.
01:02:18And Priest now staring back at Drew.
01:02:22He's wasting too much time.
01:02:26Drew McIntyre has not moved.
01:02:30Damian Priest will walk out of the ring.
01:02:34Instead of pinning McIntyre,
01:02:37he'd rather deliver the ultimate insult,
01:02:41embarrassing McIntyre and waltzing out of the ring
01:02:46to win the steel cage match.
01:02:49Wait a minute.
01:02:50Here is your winner, Damian Priest.
01:02:55Wait a minute.
01:02:57How do you win it going out the door?
01:03:00I thought you had to go over the top.
01:03:02What kind of BS is that?
01:03:05He can walk out the door?
01:03:08As we take a look at the match replay
01:03:10presented by Dude White's tonight,
01:03:12McIntyre, critical error there.
01:03:14And then this by Damian Priest.
01:03:16And listen, Priest could have defeated McIntyre
01:03:20with a pin here after this, Pat, the concerto.
01:03:22But Damian Priest, after all these two men have went through,
01:03:25wanted the satisfaction of being able to walk out of the cage
01:03:29on his own power with his head held high,
01:03:32a definitive victory tonight over Drew McIntyre.
01:03:36I'll throw in there and say he's walked out like a coward.
01:03:40Well, that's your take, Jesse, of course.
01:03:42But nonetheless, McIntyre...
01:03:44He could have at least gone over the top of the cage if he's going out.
01:03:48McIntyre walks out the door.
01:03:50Give me a break.
01:03:51The one who is being attended to by emergency medical personnel.
01:03:55Boy, that was exciting, wasn't it?
01:03:57Walking out the door.
01:03:59Well, that's how you win a steel cage match.
01:04:01Pinball submission, escape, both meet at the floor.
01:04:04Turned his back on Drew McIntyre after the concerto
01:04:07and walked out on him, buddy.
01:04:09He thinks it was probably a show of greatness,
01:04:12if you ask Damian Priest.
01:04:14Well, he might think so,
01:04:16but I think he should have gone out over the top.
01:04:19Not walked out the door.
01:04:23Damian.
01:04:24I mean...
01:04:25Putting Drew McIntyre in position up.
01:04:27Why didn't he call up and have the limo driver waiting to open it for him?
01:04:32Emergency medical personnel attending to McIntyre off the concerto.
01:04:39McIntyre, he wants to walk out on his own power.
01:04:43Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are moments away
01:04:46from our main event here tonight.
01:04:48The world champion, Jey Uso,
01:04:51will yeet into Tampa with the title on the line
01:04:54against the social media megastar Logan Paul.
01:04:58Uso, Paul, coming up next.
01:05:03On June 7th,
01:05:05Los Angeles hosts two epic events.
01:05:10WWE Worlds Collide featuring AAA Lucha Libre.
01:05:14My oh my, how good is this?
01:05:17And WWE Money in the Bank.
01:05:19The opportunity of a lifetime.
01:05:21Lies above the rest.
01:05:26WWE Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank.
01:05:29And the legends are out,
01:05:31including the US Express,
01:05:35Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham.
01:05:38Both men Hall of Famers.
01:05:39In fact, Barry's a two-time Hall of Famer.
01:05:41They are here tonight.
01:05:43These two won the first ever match
01:05:45on Saturday night's main event.
01:05:47Let's check in with Joe and Jesse.
01:05:49Thank you very much, guys.
01:05:50We're sitting back and reflecting on this dynamic night we've already had.
01:05:54The cold red from the top rope was Lena Vega.
01:05:57Priest with the concerto in the exit.
01:05:59Cena with the win.
01:06:01But what's impressed you the most?
01:06:03What's impressed me has been the return of Bronson Reed.
01:06:08I mean, this guy got injured a while back.
01:06:11And he just made a return tonight, crushing CM Punk.
01:06:16And he is going to be a force to be reckoned with real quick.
01:06:21The tsunami off the top rope.
01:06:23That led, of course, the win by Braun Breaker and Seth Rollins.
01:06:27We are now, folks, just moments away from Logan Paul
01:06:32challenging Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:06:42Main event, Jey Uso has the WWE fans on their feet.
01:06:50Every city's yeeting with Jey Uso.
01:06:54I've never felt anything like this.
01:06:56Like the walls are moving. This is nuts.
01:06:59It's your time to create your own legacy, Uso.
01:07:04Jey Uso wins the gold medal.
01:07:07The World Heavyweight Champion is now in your city.
01:07:14You people are so stupid.
01:07:18You don't know greatness when it's standing right in front of you.
01:07:22Man, I've done just about everything there is to do here in this industry
01:07:25except win a world title.
01:07:28So, Jey Uso, you have something that I want.
01:07:31Uso!
01:07:33We're going to silence this noise.
01:07:35Because he thinks after 15 years
01:07:38that I'm going to just hand this over to some punk ass YouTuber like Logan Paul.
01:07:43Stop!
01:07:44That title, I'm going to take it from you.
01:07:47So, Jey, enjoy it while you still can.
01:07:51Yeet!
01:07:52Super kick to Paul!
01:07:57Jey, you are not fit to be a champion.
01:08:01Logan Paul will be your new World Heavyweight Champion!
01:08:06The World Champion with a super kick to Logan Paul!
01:08:11Jey Uso defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul.
01:08:16Will Jey Uso continue to get it done?
01:08:19Don't let him!
01:08:20Don't worry!
01:08:26Uso!
01:08:28Oh yeah, Paul!
01:08:31Let's go!
01:08:45Party eating, Paul!
01:08:49Uso! Uso! Uso!

01:10:26Logan Paul!
01:10:30Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC
01:10:33is presented tonight by Dude White.
01:10:36That's clean hands down.
01:10:39Logan Paul with his first opportunity
01:10:41at this World Heavyweight Championship.
01:10:44He has never gone one-on-one with Jey Uso, Pat.
01:10:47This is the second title defense
01:10:49for Main Event Jey Uso here tonight.
01:10:52It feels like everybody in the WWE
01:10:55is gunning for Jey Uso
01:10:57and tonight he's got to deal with the mazel.
01:10:59The winner of this matchup, of course
01:11:02no rest for the weary
01:11:04two weeks from Monday in Phoenix
01:11:06the winner will defend the world title
01:11:08against the former champ, Gunther
01:11:10who I'm sure is watching this match
01:11:12very closely tonight.
01:11:14Referee Rod Tepada will be the official
01:11:16in this matchup for the world title.
01:11:18Both men successful at WrestleMania
01:11:20Jey Uso defeating Gunther
01:11:22tapping him out to win the title.
01:11:24Logan Paul beat AJ Styles.
01:11:27It always feels like it's for
01:11:30the entire industry whenever Logan Paul
01:11:32is fighting somebody.
01:11:34He is taken to this business quicker than anybody.
01:11:38John Cena in a backstage altercation
01:11:40with Jey Uso a little bit earlier tonight.
01:11:45Basically, Cena put a lot of pressure
01:11:47on Jey Uso's shoulders that
01:11:49imagine if you lose to a, quote, YouTuber
01:11:52it would bring all the prophecy
01:11:55true for John Cena.
01:11:57Something Cena's been saying for the past number of months.
01:11:59Cena thinks that would ruin wrestling
01:12:01although if you listen to Logan Paul
01:12:02he thinks it would be great for wrestling
01:12:03and the business as a whole.
01:12:05Logan caught Jey with an elbow.
01:12:07Logan very good in between those ropes.
01:12:09Very well known around the globe.
01:12:12And Paul now, wow, what a blockbuster
01:12:14taking out Uso.
01:12:16And a kick up by Paul, tremendous athlete
01:12:18former United States champion.
01:12:22The disdain of the WWE fans.
01:12:26Jey Uso here, he's not going to
01:12:28underestimate anybody because he's our world champ
01:12:30but Logan Paul does seemingly
01:12:32sneak up on people quick.
01:12:34Logan now up over the top, takes out the champ.
01:12:36Logan Paul could be closing in
01:12:38on his first ever world title.
01:12:45We are back on Saturday night's main event.
01:12:47Jey Uso, the world champion, is rallying here
01:12:50against Logan Paul with his title on the line
01:12:52in our main event tonight.
01:12:54He's put Logan Paul in a blender here.
01:12:56Yeah, Logan was putting on a clinic
01:12:58throwing a number of jabs earlier on
01:13:00of course setting up Uso for
01:13:02the titanium plated right hand.
01:13:05Bang into the corner.
01:13:07Uso takes out Paul.
01:13:09Here's the cover by Jey to retain the championship.
01:13:12Paul kicks it too. Remember that
01:13:14right hand of Logan Paul
01:13:16has knocked out Jey Uso
01:13:18three separate times in the past
01:13:20number of weeks.
01:13:22Maybe even four
01:13:24in the preparation here
01:13:26for our world champion.
01:13:28Jey Uso taken to the sky, comfortable.
01:13:30Not comfortable.
01:13:32Logan Paul stopped him, rolls him through.
01:13:34Shoulders are now down.
01:13:36Two count kick out by Uso.
01:13:38Zapata is an incredible referee.
01:13:44Logan's not happy. Yeah, Logan upset.
01:13:46Thought it was a slow count by Zapata.
01:13:48Logan's been here for a few years.
01:13:50He's had a couple massive matches.
01:13:52Still young in his entirety.
01:13:54And Logan looking to put Jey Uso away here perhaps.
01:13:56Marching around the ring
01:13:58with the world champion.
01:14:00Roll through again.
01:14:02Logan's so impressive.
01:14:04Second rope, moonsault.
01:14:06And the knees right to the midsection
01:14:08of Logan Paul.
01:14:10And Uso creates some space
01:14:12trying to fight back into this.
01:14:16Logan Paul was able to read
01:14:18the distance he needed for that
01:14:20lion's salt.
01:14:22And a pop up Samoan.
01:14:24Cover by Jey
01:14:26to retain the title.
01:14:28And Logan kicks.
01:14:30That was close, Cole.
01:14:34I thought Logan Paul was going to say
01:14:36no mas after that pop up
01:14:38Samoan drop.
01:14:44That would be where you think
01:14:46Jey Uso tries to take over.
01:14:48Logan Paul back to his feet as well.
01:14:50Made him at Jey Uso.
01:14:52We're going to dig down deep much like he did
01:14:54against Gunther back at Wrestlemania.
01:14:56Paul trying to hang on.
01:15:00And the turnbuckle pat from the
01:15:02second turnbuckle
01:15:04ripped off and Jey Uso
01:15:06now sends Logan out to the floor
01:15:08and into our table.
01:15:12Jey Uso looking to fly.
01:15:14And Jey now with a suicide dive
01:15:16and there's that right hand.
01:15:18The right hand by Logan Paul
01:15:20caught Jey Uso.
01:15:22Jey into the corner.
01:15:26And Logan Paul
01:15:28off the apron.
01:15:30There's that snap shot. Larry
01:15:32got caught by the super kick.
01:15:34Cover by the champ.
01:15:36And a kick out at two.
01:15:44Great ring awareness
01:15:46by the champion Uso.
01:15:49You got to think Jey Uso's
01:15:51wondering what it's going to take here.
01:15:53Yeah, 15 years ago tonight
01:15:55mentioned earlier Jey Uso made his debut in
01:15:57WWE with his brother Jey
01:15:59on Monday Night Raw. 15 years later
01:16:01he's defending the World Heavyweight Championship
01:16:03in the main event of Saturday Night's
01:16:05main event.
01:16:07Logan Paul send Uso shoulder
01:16:09first into the exposed turnbuckle.
01:16:11And Logan now with an opportunity.
01:16:13Big right hand.
01:16:15Down goes Uso for the win
01:16:17and the title. And Jey kicks it
01:16:19two.
01:16:21That hand is
01:16:23dropped Jey so many
01:16:25times over the last few weeks.
01:16:29Exposed turnbuckle into
01:16:31that massive
01:16:33right from Logan Paul.
01:16:35Logan's got to be
01:16:37wondering what do I have to do to put Jey away.
01:16:39One more big right.
01:16:43Hands all over Logan Paul here
01:16:45tonight. Uso catches him with a super kick.
01:16:47Logan's down.
01:16:49Uso setting him up. Looking for the frog splash
01:16:51to retain the championship.
01:16:55Jey from up top. Frog splash connecting.
01:16:59Uso into the cover.
01:17:01Hooks the leg.
01:17:03Oh Cena!
01:17:05John Cena just
01:17:07pulled the official out of the ring
01:17:09and now he's assaulting Jey Uso.
01:17:15John Cena
01:17:17the man who says he wants to ruin wrestling.
01:17:19The man who told Jey Uso
01:17:21earlier I'll retire with the title
01:17:23and the one you have is going to be
01:17:25worn by a YouTuber.
01:17:27And that prophecy may come
01:17:29true here tonight.
01:17:31The official's out.
01:17:37And here comes
01:17:39the quarterback.
01:17:41Cody Rhodes
01:17:43is back for the first time
01:17:45since Wrestlemania.
01:17:51Cross Rhodes
