00:00:00Joe Tessitore, along with a man who 40 years ago this month, was in this very same role.
00:00:11Jesse the Body Ventura is with us for Saturday Night Standings.
00:00:17Jesse, you and I had breakfast this morning, and over coffee, our focus went to the steel cage match.
00:00:23And you said, when it comes to Drew and Damian Priest, things feel very different.
00:00:29Well, first and foremost, I don't drink coffee.
00:00:32Second and foremost, yeah, you're right.
00:00:35The object of this is to get out of the ring.
00:00:38That ain't gonna happen.
00:00:40With McIntyre and Priest, it's gonna stay in the ring, and you're gonna see somebody win the match inside the cage.
00:00:49And, you know, let me just say this.
00:00:52I don't know why anyone would take a cage match.
00:00:56Because when you go in the cage, you might walk in looking pretty, and you can come out looking awful damn ugly.
00:01:04I know you're very excited as well for Jey Uso's title defense against Logan Paul.
00:01:09Yeah, I'm just wondering.
00:01:11You think Mike Tyson will take another dive?
00:01:14Oh, we will see what happens with that.
00:01:16But let's get to the man who will call all the action.
00:01:19The all-time greatest, Michael Cole.
00:01:21And the man who was just in the ring two weeks ago.
00:01:24Pat McAfee, gentlemen, take it away.
00:01:26Thanks, Tessa. Michael Cole, Pat McAfee at ringside.
00:01:29Pat, this building, a lot of memories for you.
00:01:32Yeah, dreams came true in this building.
00:01:34The Thunderdome was here, obviously, a few years back, and I debuted here.
00:01:38I made my name here, and this place is spectacular.
00:01:411,000 degrees in Tampa Bay, Florida today, and it's gonna be even hotter in here.
00:01:46Let's go to the action.
00:01:48Burn it down!
00:01:54Burn it down!
00:02:17Burn it down!
00:02:21The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
00:02:27Introducing first, being accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer,
00:02:33the Wise Man, Paul Heyman.
00:02:36At a combined weight of 475 pounds,
00:02:40the team of Braun Breaker
00:02:44and Seth Freakin' Rollins!
00:02:52For the first time in his career,
00:02:54Seth Rollins has a match at Saturday Night's main event,
00:02:57teaming with a man who's been in one of these events before,
00:03:00none other than Braun Breaker.
00:03:02And, Pat, here's a team, along with Paul Heyman,
00:03:05that is looking to take control of Monday Night Raw in the WWE.
00:03:09And the dogs are barking down here in Tampa with Seth Freakin' Rollins and Braun Breaker.
00:03:14And with Paul Heyman in tow.
00:03:19Heyman running rough shot on everybody.
00:03:33In a matchup tonight that is extremely personal.
00:03:39Especially when it comes to Seth Rollins, CM Punk.
00:03:56CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:04:09CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:04:17Their opponent, first, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
00:04:22weighing in at 212 pounds,
00:04:25Sami Zayn!
00:04:28You know, Pat, Seth Rollins said he had respect for Sami Zayn
00:04:30until Sami, quote, stuck his nose in my business.
00:04:34And now it's become personal,
00:04:36and Rollins says Sami Zayn is gonna get what's coming to him here tonight.
00:04:40Sami Zayn always fighting for what he thinks is right.
00:04:43Todd's been underdog.
00:04:44He's been seeing what Braun Breaker, Seth Freakin' Rollins, and Paul Heyman have been doing
00:04:48to Monday Night Raw.
00:04:49They're obligated to step up and say,
00:04:52uh-uh, this ain't how this is gonna go.
00:04:56Sami, come on.
00:05:04Well, after a history, we've talked about it, between Sami Zayn and Braun Breaker.
00:05:16CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!
00:05:22CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!

00:09:44Trying to change the game here on Saturday night's main event.
00:09:48Big knee to the mouth of Seth freakin' Rollins.
00:09:53And now, Bron- Breaker taken out as Punk delivers a Bulldog to Rollins.
00:09:57One man wrecking Drew. Get out of the way Paul Heyman.
00:10:01Heyman's gonna get his one day, no doubt about that. Punk now top rope.
00:10:06I don't know, actually. Feels like it always works out for Punk.
00:10:10It's a cockroach. Oh, and there's the elbow. Delivered to Rollins.
00:10:13Hook of the leg now. And another near fall for Punk.
00:10:17Here's CM Punk taking out both Seth and Bron-Breaker.
00:10:22Bulldog, clothesline. One CM Punk in control.
00:10:26CM Punk appeared at Saturday night's main event back in 2007
00:10:31in a tag team matchup. Punk now lifting him up.
00:10:34Bron-Breaker looking to save his mentor, Rollins, and does.
00:10:38Yeah, that's good tag team wrestling there.
00:10:42Ironically, the last time Punk was in a Saturday night's main event in a tag team match,
00:10:46he teamed with the Boogeyman. Pedigree! Pedigree by Rollins!
00:10:49Rollins looking to put Punk away and pick up the win here tonight.
00:10:52And Sami Zayn has to break things up for his tag team.
00:10:59Bron-Breaker will handle Sami for that.
00:11:06Sami sent out to the apron.
00:11:08Perfect timing by Sami Zayn so this match isn't over with.
00:11:11And he dumps Bron-Breaker out to the side.
00:11:15Emotional powder kegs, all of these men.
00:11:18Zayn now with Breaker outside. Up on top.
00:11:21Oh no! Salt takes out Breaker.
00:11:25Sami taking over.
00:11:33Sam Punk marching across the ring to meet his arch nemesis, Seth Rollins,
00:11:38as our tag team match continues on Saturday night's main event.
00:11:41An electric crowd here tonight sold out.
00:11:43Yingling Center in Tampa, Florida.
00:11:46These guys have been beating the hell out of each other.
00:11:52And Punk now looking for the go to sleep, the GTS.
00:11:55Rollins able to slip out of it yet again.
00:11:58Rollins looking for the stomp. Punk moves out of harm's way.
00:12:01Boom and down. Collision. Center of the ring.
00:12:04CM Punk set Seth freakin' Rollins up there.
00:12:07Thought he had him instead.
00:12:10Double area. Both men down.
00:12:13Who has more left in the tank here on Saturday night?
00:12:16And this is a very important match, Pat, for the coalition of Rollins and Breaker.
00:12:20High profile match to prove that they're running things in WWE.
00:12:27Punk makes the tag. Here comes Sami Zayn.
00:12:30And Zayn now with Breaker.
00:12:32And Zayn, using his speed, went for the blue thunder bomb.
00:12:35Breaker able to counter.
00:12:37Breaker looking to use his power. Sami slips underneath again.
00:12:41Sami gonna walk the tightrope.
00:12:44Oh, what a DDT by Sami Zayn, who's fired up here tonight.
00:12:54Sami has his opportunity to end this.
00:12:56Yeah, looking for the halloumi kick and Seth Rollins again.
00:12:59Getting involved. CM Punk said no way he takes Rollins out.
00:13:05Breaker.
00:13:08The exploder into the corner by Sami.
00:13:12He's setting up for a kick. It's not good.
00:13:15Looking for the halloumi kick. It's not great.
00:13:18Heyman grabs Zayn.
00:13:24Paul Heyman just saved this tag team match.
00:13:29Paul Heyman is the greatest manager in the history of this sport for good reason.
00:13:35Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God!
00:13:41Where the big Bronson Reed just eliminated CM Punk?
00:13:52A super spear from Rod Breaker.
00:13:55And a win for Rollins and company.
00:13:58Where the hell did Bronson Reed come from?
00:14:01The winners of this match, Rod Breaker and Seth Frickin' Rollins.
00:14:10The 330 pound oscilla.
00:14:15Big Bronson Reed demolished CM Punk and set Rod Breaker up to win this tag team match.
00:14:28Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't get too far ahead of yourself.
00:14:31A lot of history between Reed and Rollins.
00:14:35Bronson Reed will fight everybody if we know anything about him.
00:14:41And now squaring off with Rod Breaker.
00:14:44Bronson Reed, Rod Breaker.
00:14:56Of course.
00:14:58You gotta be kidding me.
00:15:00Of course.
00:15:06Seth Rollins had another play all along.
00:15:13He pulled out a wild card tonight.
00:15:17And Pat, it appears despite all the violent differences between Reed and Rollins in the past.
00:15:25For some reason, Bronson Reed is back with Rollins.
00:15:29With Rollins and now Punk trying to get to Heyman.
00:15:32Suffering another assault by Reed.
00:15:35Oh no.
00:15:37We haven't seen this since he left.
00:15:39Rollins knows all about this.
00:15:41A half a dozen tsunamis he suffered at one point in his career at the hands of this man.
00:15:46A storm tsunami to CM Punk.
00:15:51These people are thirsty for another tsunami.
00:15:58But why, after their history, why is Reed with Rollins and Heyman and Breaker?
00:16:09I think if you're Bronson Reed, you'd think, why not?
00:16:13I think if you're Bronson Reed, you'd think, why not?
00:16:18This dangerous coalition may have just become unstoppable.
00:16:30Wow.
00:16:31Wow.
00:16:40Well, very curious to see how Bronson Reed factors into this new group.
00:16:45But I am here with Chelsea Green and her secret hermit.
00:16:50Kathy, Kathy, I have risen from the ashes.
00:16:54Is that an eagle or a phoenix?
00:16:56I was in mourning, but now it is night.
00:17:00Saturday night main event to be exciting.
00:17:02Guess what?
00:17:03The votes are in, Kathy.
00:17:05And after I beat Selena Vega, I will enter my second term as the greatest,
00:17:12first ever, longest reigning, most dangerous United States women's champion.
00:17:19Thank you for your hervus.
00:17:22Pledge your allegiance.
00:17:24Bless America.
00:17:25Chelsea Green is losing her voice.
00:17:30I do believe she'll always be able to talk no matter what she's battling.
00:17:34And tonight she's looking to get her title back.
00:17:40The following contest is set for one fall and it is for the women's United States championship.
00:17:50Introducing first, the challenger being accompanied by the secret hervus
00:17:56from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Chelsea Green.
00:18:02You know, Pat, she's been wearing black as of late in mourning
00:18:05for losing the United States championship.
00:18:07But tonight she comes out decked out in some red, white, and blue.
00:18:10It seems like she already believes that her, well, second term has begun.
00:18:15And it looks like she's got her swagger back alongside her secret hervus.
00:18:20Looking to get her title back on a Saturday night.
00:18:25And Saturday night's main event is presented by Dude Wipes.
00:18:30Best clean, pants down.
00:18:37Yep, they're telling us to rise.
00:18:41Okay, whatever, okay.
00:18:45United States title up for grabs next.
00:18:50Wow, tag team matchup, CM Punk teaming with Sami Zayn against Breaker and Rollins.
00:18:55Sami was going for the haluba kick and the win
00:18:58and then things just fell apart when Heyman got involved.
00:19:01Yeah, the absolute genius, Paul Heyman interrupted, got the ref's back turned
00:19:04and a return happened of Bronson Reed.
00:19:08Yeah, big Bronson Reed pummeling Punk, driving him through the barricade.
00:19:13Sami was distracted, Breaker hit the spear to pick up the win
00:19:17and the question would be called, why was Reed out here?
00:19:21We would learn quickly, wouldn't we?
00:19:23Seth freaking Rollins embraces big Bronson Reed.
00:19:27Paul Heyman celebrates and Bron Breaker understands that there is now four.
00:19:34And then the return of the tsunami.
00:19:39Absolutely crushing Punk and Rollins just changed the game here in WWE again.
00:19:47Turn him into a CM Punk kick, am I right?
00:19:50As Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervis await the arrival of our champion.
00:19:55Very mouthy to us.
00:19:57We didn't stand up for Chelsea.
00:19:59The Secret Hervis certainly wanted us to pay our respects.
00:20:03And her opponent from Queens, New York.
00:20:09She is the Women's United States Champion, Zelina Vega.
00:20:19Ladies and gentlemen, for only the third time in the history of Saturday Night's
00:20:23Main Event, a Women's Championship will be on the line.
00:20:26The first was back in the very first Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:20:29Wendy Richter knocking off the fabulous Moolah.
00:20:32And then earlier this year, Rhea Ripley beating Nia Jax.
00:20:35Tonight, Zelina Vega defending the United States Championship against Chelsea Green.
00:20:40Very emotional, Zelina Vega in an interview with CBS Sports this week.
00:20:45Talking about how she believed this was meant to be.
00:20:49That everything is finally right in her universe.
00:20:52That the reality has set in.
00:20:55That it is no longer a dream.
00:20:56And after 15 years, Pat, of competing, she finally wins her first singles championship in WWE.
00:21:03Second ever United States Champion.
00:21:05That's quite a title for Zelina Vega.
00:21:07She's undefeated against Chelsea Green in the past.
00:21:10This is her first title defense.
00:21:11Obviously got to win your first before you can be the longest reigning.
00:21:14Chelsea Green quickly out of the box.
00:21:16And taking the fight to Zelina Vega.
00:21:18Zelina beat Chelsea back at the end of April to win the United States Women's Championship.
00:21:23As Zelina's bounced off the top turnbuckle.
00:21:26Zelina Vega has a lot of pride in being the United States Champion.
00:21:30As did Chelsea Green.
00:21:34And her secret harvest is obviously a numbers game here that Zelina's going to have to figure out.
00:21:40There's Zelina.
00:21:41Now Chelsea Green and a kick out at two.
00:21:43Zelina has had Chelsea's number.
00:21:44You mentioned it before.
00:21:45Vega 4-0 against Green in singles matches in their career.
00:21:49Ooh, and a back elbow by Vega.
00:21:52United States Champion.
00:21:55Nice taking Chelsea down to the mat now.
00:21:58Chelsea in position for Zelina Vega to pay homage to her mentor Ray Mysterio.
00:22:04But Green moves out of harm's way and catches her with a slap.
00:22:07Chelsea Green much taller than Zelina Vega so she's going to have the reach on her at all times.
00:22:11Zelina Vega is feisty as they come.
00:22:15She loves being the underdog.
00:22:17She's learned a lot, of course, from Ray Mysterio who may be the greatest underdog in the history of the game.
00:22:22Now Chelsea Green dropping Zelina Vega.
00:22:26Spine first to the floor.
00:22:28A powerbomb from Chelsea Green who wants her United States title back.
00:22:32And champion's advantage in this match.
00:22:34Hook to the leg now.
00:22:35Vega's got a kick at two.
00:22:37Green needs to pin or submit Zelina Vega to win the championship tonight.
00:22:41Chelsea Green will get distracted every once in a while.
00:22:44But a powerbomb on the outside.
00:22:46Then immediately brings Zelina back in the ring to try to get the pin.
00:22:49Feels like she's locked in.
00:22:55And Chelsea Green now getting to dominate this match with Vega.
00:23:00The inaugural United States Women's Champion.
00:23:08Big slap from Chelsea Green.
00:23:11She won the championship here on Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:23:13The end of the tournament.
00:23:14Cover now by Green for the title.
00:23:16And a kick out.
00:23:17Zelina kicking out there at two.
00:23:19But you gotta wonder, Chelsea's been in control here.
00:23:21A lot of big time shots since that powerbomb.
00:23:25Zelina tough as they come.
00:23:28Zelina Vega will not give up without a fight.
00:23:30But Green now is dominating.
00:23:33See Piper Niven elbow fire outside the ring looking on.
00:23:36A secret purpose.
00:23:38You get it? Because Chelsea Green is her.
00:23:42Zelina is our champion.
00:23:44And she's also on her back yet again.
00:23:45Chelsea Green in complete control.
00:23:47You're the best analyst in the business.
00:23:51We're gonna be joined by the legendary analyst.
00:23:53Jesse, the body of Ventura.
00:23:55The governor joining us in the big steel cage match later on tonight.
00:24:00He's looking for destruction in that steel cage.
00:24:02You said somebody's leaving that thing ugly tonight.
00:24:04As only the body could.
00:24:06Zelina fighting back on Chelsea Green.
00:24:10Boom. Big boom.
00:24:13As Chelsea continues to dominate.
00:24:17Chelsea had told me earlier today that she wanted to wear down Zelina Vega.
00:24:22I believe the longer this match goes, the better it is for Green to regain her United States Women's Championship.
00:24:28She's been doing some missions.
00:24:30Nobody home. Vega rolls out of harm's way.
00:24:33And now Zelina Vega.
00:24:35Her secret harvest actually told her to do that.
00:24:37It backfired quickly.
00:24:40As Zelina Vega was looking for one thing that she could flip momentum.
00:24:43She found it.
00:24:44Now Zelina trying to fight back in this.
00:24:49Zelina favoring her left elbow.
00:24:51Big clothesline takes down Green.
00:24:53And this is what Chelsea had to be afraid of.
00:24:55Zelina picking up some momentum using her quickness.
00:24:58Yeah, high speed affair is good for Zelina.
00:25:00Oh, nice back suplex by Zelina Vega.
00:25:02Into a kip-up now.
00:25:03And a champ's rolling.
00:25:09Into the corner.
00:25:10And the knees take out Green.
00:25:13Sideways double knees.
00:25:14I like that from Zelina.
00:25:17Now Zelina Vega up to the second rope.
00:25:19Focusing on Green.
00:25:20Green ducks out of harm's way.
00:25:22Zelina's got to roll through.
00:25:25Wow.
00:25:26Wow, the power being displayed by Chelsea Green.
00:25:29And now looking for the unpretty her.
00:25:31Her finishing move.
00:25:32But Zelina Vega with a backstabber.
00:25:39Zelina's asking Tampa to rally.
00:25:43She got caught up.
00:25:44She didn't catch it clean.
00:25:45She didn't catch it clean.
00:25:46But she still caught her in the bridge of the nose.
00:25:48Good kick there by Zelina.
00:25:50And now the secret purpose trying to get involved.
00:25:53Referee distracted.
00:25:55Piper Niven dragging Vega down off the top rope.
00:25:58This dude dropped her right up there on the turnbuckle.
00:26:05And now Vega with a headbutt trying to battle back.
00:26:08Oh, Zelina Vega.
00:26:11Vega now.
00:26:12Chelsea Green in trouble.
00:26:13Zelina Vega from way up top.
00:26:17Code red from the top rope.
00:26:20Cover now.
00:26:22And a win.
00:26:24For Zelina Vega.
00:26:26Here is your winner.
00:26:28And still the Women's United States Champion.
00:26:34Zelina Vega.
00:26:39Zelina Vega retains her United States Championship tonight.
00:26:42Secret Harvest had no idea.
00:26:44They thought Chelsea was going to pick up the win.
00:26:47They were waving American flags on the outside.
00:26:49And on the second rope,
00:26:50Zelina Vega was sending Chelsea Green up for a code red.
00:26:55To retain her title.
00:26:56She remains undefeated against Chelsea Green.
00:26:59She remains our United States Champion.
00:27:01As Chelsea's busted open.
00:27:03I'm for serious exam.
00:27:08What a fight.
00:27:09What a fight.
00:27:11Well, ladies and gentlemen.
00:27:13Coming up next.

00:28:26A Hall of Famer.
00:28:27One of the greatest managers of all time.
00:28:30The mouth of the south.
00:28:31Jimmy Hart.
00:28:32Managed in over 30 Saturday night main events.
00:28:35Over the years.
00:28:36Another Hall of Famer.
00:28:37Here as well.
00:28:40Bushwhacker Luke.
00:28:43Is here.
00:28:44Hall of Famer.
00:28:45Terrific tag team.
00:28:46Captivating audiences around the world.
00:28:49In fact Jimmy Hart's nasty boys once beat the Bushwhackers.
00:28:53In a Saturday night main event.
00:28:54Back in the 1980s.
00:28:56That's a lightning rod.
00:28:57So is Jimmy Hart.
00:28:58Great to see all the legends that helped this company get to where it is today.
00:29:02Hey we're in Tampa tonight.
00:29:03Two weeks from tonight.
00:29:04Big double header.
00:29:05Comes your way live from Los Angeles.
00:29:07The nightcap of course.

00:29:11But.

00:29:16Tremendous event.

00:29:22WWE's YouTube channel.
00:29:23And Vikingo in action.
00:29:25Against Chad Gable.
00:29:27And man if you have not had a chance to experience Vikingo.
00:29:31You are in for a very special treat.
00:29:34The Mexican Luchador of course.
00:29:36Part of Triple A.
00:29:37Which was acquired by WWE.
00:29:39Is exciting.
00:29:40He's exhilarating.
00:29:41The man Vikingo.
00:29:44With a big ovation here tonight in Tampa.
00:29:47For Saturday night's.
00:29:48Main event.
00:29:49Well John.
00:29:50Pat.
00:29:51I should say.
00:29:52In a matter of moments.
00:29:53John Cena.
00:29:54Will be out here.
00:29:55In a match.
00:29:56Against R-Truth.
00:29:57Remember.
00:29:58This will be the last time he's in Tampa.
00:29:59Because.
00:30:00The John Cena retirement tour.
00:30:01Is now underway.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:03There's a lot of John Cena.
00:30:04Shirts in the arena.
00:30:05As there is everywhere.
00:30:06I'll be excited to see.
00:30:07What the reaction.
00:30:08How it all goes.
00:30:09Well the retirement tour.
00:30:10In my mind.
00:30:11Hasn't quite gone the way.
00:30:12We expected.
00:30:20Go ahead.
00:30:21Go ahead.
00:30:23It's been the same.
00:30:24Damn noise.
00:30:26For 25 years.
00:30:30I've been the victim.
00:30:32Of an abusive relationship.
00:30:39When I first got here.
00:30:41Oh you let me know.
00:30:42Really loud.
00:30:43That you hated me.
00:30:47So what did I do.
00:30:49I went and I changed myself.
00:30:51Hoping that you would like me a little bit.
00:30:53But then it wasn't enough.
00:30:55So what did I do.
00:30:57I worked hard.
00:30:58Like I always do.
00:30:59And I started to win.
00:31:01Oh.
00:31:02I won a lot.
00:31:04And you hated it.
00:31:06It wasn't.
00:31:07Enough.
00:31:10All you do.
00:31:11Is be hurtful.
00:31:13And you take.
00:31:14And you only care.
00:31:16About yourselves.
00:31:18You don't wear this.
00:31:19For support.
00:31:20You wear it.
00:31:21To make you feel.
00:31:22Good.
00:31:24You wear words.
00:31:25Like hustle.
00:31:26Loyalty.
00:31:27And respect.
00:31:28I live them.
00:31:29Every day.
00:31:31Sharksita is a 17 time world champion!
00:31:45I don't need you anymore.
00:31:47I don't care about you.
00:31:49And you don't matter to me.
00:31:53I am going to ruin wrestling.
00:31:56For every fan.
00:31:57I will be the last real champion in WWE and there is nothing you can do to stop me!
00:32:24R-Truth claims he's going to try to stop Cena. It is reality check time and R-Truth's mind for the greatest of all time.
00:32:31Cena, Truth, live next on Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:32:40Seven days a week, 365 days a year. This is a calculated, coordinated production.
00:32:48It's time. We're going to lift the curtain.
00:32:51What is the story of 2025?
00:32:53I won't put a rocket on you.
00:32:55Is everybody okay?
00:32:56Everybody's good. He's babbling.
00:32:59Amazing. This is awesome. They ain't seen s*** yet.

00:33:52Let's go, Cena!
00:33:54Let's go, Cena!
00:33:56Let's go, Cena!
00:33:58Let's go, Cena!
00:34:00Let's go, Cena!
00:34:17Let's go, Cena!
00:34:19Let's go, Cena!
00:34:21Let's go, Cena!
00:34:23Let's go, Cena!
00:34:25Let's go, Cena!
00:34:27Let's go, Cena!
00:34:29Let's go, Cena!
00:34:31Let's go, Cena!
00:34:33Let's go, Cena!
00:34:35Let's go, Cena!
00:34:37Let's go, Cena!

00:34:43Let's go, Cena!
00:34:45Let's go, Cena!
00:34:48Let's go, Cena!
00:34:50Let's go, Cena!
00:34:52Let's go, Cena!
00:34:54Let's go, Cena!
00:34:56Let's go, Cena!
00:35:01The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:35:04Introducing first, from West Newbury, Massachussets,
00:35:09Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds, he is the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
00:35:23A very interesting reaction of course for John Cena tonight, when the initial music hits,
00:35:29the crowd comes to its feet, and then when Cena appears, he's booed out of the building.
00:35:33Ladies and gentlemen, he is the greatest of all time, the never seen, 17,
00:35:48gracing Tampa with his presence for the final time, the last real champion, John Cena!
00:36:03Pat, despite his recent actions, I still believe you are looking at the greatest of all time,
00:36:08the 17 time, record setting, world champion, John Cena.
00:36:21A lot of people wearing John Cena shirts, booing his ass.
00:36:24And here comes perhaps his biggest fan, decked out in old school,
00:36:31Cena gear!
00:36:38That's Ron Cena baby!
00:36:40And his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:36:44weighing in at 220 pounds, R-Truth!
00:36:52Well there was an interesting statistic we saw a bit earlier,
00:36:55the fact that R-Truth and his career is 2 and 1,
00:36:59versus John Cena.
00:37:00Cena, however, beat him with a championship on the line of capital punishment.
00:37:04But R-Truth said tonight, he has one job,
00:37:08and that job is to beat hustle, loyalty, and respect back into his hero, John Cena tonight.
00:37:19Let's not forget, Cena beat Randy Orton thanks to R-Truth,
00:37:22and how did Cena repay him?
00:37:23He AA'd him through a table, through a press conference.
00:37:26Remember, John Cena is R-Truth's childhood hero.
00:37:34John Cena just disrespects the hell out of him.
00:37:38And Cena, wasting a little time!
00:37:41Jason Ayers, the official, calls for the bell,
00:37:43and John Cena now assaulting R-Truth,
00:37:46as the matchup just gets underway.
00:37:48Obviously upset with the fact that Truth came out here,
00:37:53trying to be the good John Cena, I guess you would put it.
00:37:56The WWE fans reacted positively.
00:37:59Could also be some PTSD of previous days for John Cena.
00:38:18Currently have 11 of the top 20 trends on X right now,
00:38:21and I think there's another one or two about to join.
00:38:26Cena and Ron Cena are putting on a fight here in Tampa.
00:38:30John Cena's last time ever here in a city that he calls one of his homes.
00:38:36Yeah, and John Cena, of course.
00:38:40Ron Cena lost both of his earrings,
00:38:42as John Cena disgustingly throws him back on top of him.
00:38:45Well, here in Tampa, Florida,
00:38:47John Cena won the 10th of his record-setting 17 titles
00:38:51back in 2011, Extreme Rules.
00:39:01And a shoulder tackle by Cena.
00:39:07He calls himself the greatest of all time.
00:39:09You call him the greatest of all time.
00:39:11A lot of people do, and half this arena
00:39:13is saying that he can't wrestle.
00:39:15I think it might have just pissed off John Cena.
00:39:18And now another shoulder tackle.
00:39:20Cena taking his time, much more deliberate
00:39:22than he has been in the past, looking to fight back.
00:39:25And Cena now going to take him down and put him in position
00:39:33for his vintage five-knuckle shuffle, which connects.
00:39:40Vintage John Cena here.
00:39:42Measuring Truth for an attitude adjustment.
00:39:45Truth, though, able to slip out underneath,
00:39:47and R-Truth now looks to build momentum.
00:39:49Shoulder tackle of his own.
00:39:50And now R-Truth, another shoulder tackle.
00:39:52This looks familiar, a little deja vu.
00:39:54Yeah, this is vintage Cena that Truth is putting on display here.
00:40:04Listen to this place.
00:40:08Five-knuckle shuffle by Truth.
00:40:12Truth's got Cena up!
00:40:14Truth with an A-A!
00:40:17Truth's gonna, is he gonna beat Cena?
00:40:19And a kick out by John at two.
00:40:22Near fall by Truth.
00:40:24Using all of John Cena's moves in his repertoire.
00:40:28They're gonna take another one now.
00:40:29The STF locked in.
00:40:33The STF locked in on Cena,
00:40:35who goes to the ropes to force the break.
00:40:38John Cena should know
00:40:40every one of these moves better than anybody else on Earth.
00:40:43Yeah, but R-Truth delivered them perfectly
00:40:46to take control of this match.
00:40:47I talked to Truth earlier today,
00:40:48asked him what's gotten into John Cena in your mind.
00:40:50He compared Cena to Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
00:40:54Became power-hungry going after the gold
00:40:57as Truth is whipped into the steel post now by Cena.
00:41:02John Cena throws Truth back into the ring,
00:41:04and what's he thinking here?
00:41:07Oh, we've seen him do this time and time again.
00:41:09John Cena with the title in hand.
00:41:12Again, the title's not on the line in this matchup.
00:41:15John Cena, I believe, just wants to embarrass
00:41:17and do damage to R-Truth tonight
00:41:19above and beyond anything else.
00:41:23Can't use that, says Jason Ayers, the referee.
00:41:25Put R-Truth down for good.
00:41:33Maybe this is the moment
00:41:35Maybe this is the moment.
00:41:37Maybe...
00:41:39Maybe John Cena has reconsidered.
00:41:40Maybe he has a conscience.
00:41:43Saw the look in the eyes of one of his admirers
00:41:45and said, maybe this isn't the way I need to be.
00:41:54At least to the WWE fans, I mean...
00:41:57Oh!
00:41:59Cena went low!
00:42:01K.A. delivered!
00:42:042...
00:42:053...
00:42:09Here is your winner,
00:42:12the undisputed
00:42:14WWE Champion,
00:42:17John Cena!
00:42:21Well, John Cena
00:42:23suckered some of us in tonight.
00:42:28Decided not to use the championship,
00:42:30instead decided to go low once again.
00:42:33Which has become sort of his calling card lately.
00:42:36And now the title off the face of Truth!
00:42:40Again, no reason for that.
00:42:43Yet another despicable act
00:42:48by John Cena.
00:42:51The GOAT rams the title off the head
00:42:53of another victim as he walks out of here.
00:42:57The same way he walked in.
00:43:00And again, Pat, the problem with this,
00:43:02and we said it earlier,
00:43:04this is nowhere close to how people believe
00:43:07John Cena would be spending his final year,
00:43:10his retirement year, here in WWE.
00:43:13Especially here in Tampa,
00:43:14a place he calls home,
00:43:15a place he's done a lot of great for.
00:43:17We were hoping for a make-a-wish,
00:43:18a positive night.
00:43:19Instead, it ends with a kick in the balls
00:43:21and then a title to the head
00:43:23and down goes John Cena.
00:43:25Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:43:26switching gears now.
00:43:27We're gonna head into a match-up
00:43:28that's extremely personal.
00:43:30It has been violent, it has been vicious,
00:43:32and it's been physical.
00:43:33And tonight it will end inside a steel cage.
00:43:41Drew, it feels like we're stuck in a cycle.
00:43:50We sabotage each other until we destroy everything.
00:43:58I'm banged up, frustrated,
00:44:01and most of all, I'm pissed off at myself
00:44:04for getting stuck in this vortex
00:44:06that is Drew McIntyre's petty, childish,
00:44:10vindictive, endless cycle.
00:44:14That so-called Drew McIntyre vortex you're in
00:44:18is the only reason you're relevant.
00:44:20You're obsessed with me.
00:44:24You look at me and you see everything
00:44:27you've ever wanted.
00:44:28I am better than you in every single way.
00:44:32A backlash.
00:44:33I would have been a Grand Slam champion
00:44:36if it wasn't for you.
00:44:38This has to end.
00:44:40At Saturday night's main event...
00:44:42He's bored at work.
00:44:43I want you to feel real pain.
00:44:47I want this to happen inside a steel cage.
00:44:51Only one man is going to walk out of that cage.
00:44:56The other is leaving on a stretch.
00:45:00Anarchy.
00:45:01Violence.
00:45:02I hope this is what you wanted, Drew,
00:45:04because it's what you're going to get.
00:45:06The cycle ends here.
00:45:13And tonight,
00:45:15this nearly two-year-old rivalry
00:45:18ends inside that structure.
00:45:20It's the steel cage where you win via escape,
00:45:23pinfall, or submission.
00:45:25In a match presented by Dude Wipes,
00:45:27because wetter cleans better.
00:45:29It is a steel cage match.

00:46:14Ladies and gentlemen,
00:46:15the world champion,
00:46:16Jey Uso,
00:46:17on our main event tonight,
00:46:18will defend against Logan Paul
00:46:20here on Saturday night's main event.
00:46:26Jey Uso.
00:46:29Been a long time.
00:46:31John Cena.
00:46:33Last time I seen you,
00:46:35I threw you out the window,
00:46:36Royal Rumble, Uso.
00:46:40That's good.
00:46:42Very funny.
00:46:46I'm glad you remember
00:46:47the last time we saw each other.
00:46:49I'm looking forward to the next time
00:46:52I see you.
00:46:54You see, there's something special
00:46:56about you being from one of the most
00:46:58prestigious families in the history
00:47:01of our industry
00:47:02and losing the World Heavyweight Championship
00:47:05to Logan Paul.
00:47:07Wouldn't it be something
00:47:09if when my clock strikes zero,
00:47:12I take this championship home with me
00:47:16and that championship is around the waist
00:47:20of a YouTuber.
00:47:22Sounds like that would almost
00:47:25ruin wrestling.
00:47:29Gosh, that's a lot of pressure
00:47:31to match tonight.
00:47:33Good luck, champ.
00:47:35I'll be watching closely.
00:47:40Not on Jey Uso's mind
00:47:41as he defends the world title tonight.
00:47:43Many legends here tonight
00:47:44at Saturday night's main event as well,
00:47:46including
00:47:49Ilani Kai,
00:47:50former women's champion,
00:47:51two-time tag team champion,
00:47:53competed against Wendy Richter
00:47:55in the first ever WrestleMania.
00:47:57Also here tonight,
00:47:58the legendary Native American star,
00:48:01Tataka,
00:48:02once won 82 singles matches
00:48:04without a loss.
00:48:05He was in three WrestleManias,
00:48:0718 premium live events in his career.
00:48:10And speaking of legends,
00:48:11joining us here at ringside,
00:48:12the governor,
00:48:13Jesse Damani Ventura.
00:48:14Now, Jesse, back in January 1986,
00:48:17you competed here on Saturday night's
00:48:18main event in Tampa.
00:48:19Let's take it to the tape
00:48:20and tell us what happened.
00:48:21Well, what happened here
00:48:23is I set a record
00:48:26never before in the history of broadcasting
00:48:29had somebody gone from the broadcast booth
00:48:32down to the ring,
00:48:34wrestled,
00:48:35and when he was done,
00:48:36went back up and finished the broadcast.
00:48:39And now, as I understand it,
00:48:41my colleague,
00:48:44this guy right here, McAfee,
00:48:47tried to steal my record
00:48:49by getting into the ring
00:48:51as a color commentator.
00:48:53How dare you
00:48:54try to do what Jesse Ventura did?
00:48:57The only reason that I'm not
00:48:59blasting you right now
00:49:01is because you lost
00:49:03and I won.
00:49:04Let's get set for the Steel Cage match.
00:49:06Let's go to Lillian Garcia.
00:49:07That's why you're in the body, brother.
00:49:09Well, actually,
00:49:11actually, I admire Pat for doing it.
00:49:14He's the second,
00:49:15no, he's the second broadcaster in history
00:49:19to climb into a ring.
00:49:21Football, baseball,
00:49:23none of them do it.
00:49:24The only way to win
00:49:25is by pinfall,
00:49:27submission,
00:49:28or escaping the cage
00:49:29through the cage door
00:49:30or climbing over the top
00:49:33with both feet
00:49:34hitting the floor.
00:49:36I'm actually undefeated
00:49:37at WrestleMania, Jesse,
00:49:38but who wants to talk about that?
00:49:41Certainly not this man.
00:49:43You're undefeated
00:49:45through the hell you wrestle.
00:49:47I was not good, buddy.
00:49:51He's never lost.
00:49:52Hey, I'll tell you something here, guys.
00:49:55I don't understand
00:49:56why McIntyre would agree
00:49:58to get into a cage.
00:49:59He's 3-0 in Steel Cage.
00:50:01It's in his career.
00:50:02I don't care.
00:50:03You can,
00:50:04he's a good-looking guy.
00:50:05You can be a good-looking guy
00:50:07and after a Steel Cage match,
00:50:09you ain't good-looking anymore.
00:50:11Ugly.
00:50:13Nasty.
00:50:15Steel Cage.
00:50:19Introducing first,
00:50:21Premier Scotland,
00:50:22weighing in at 275 pounds,
00:50:25Drew McIntyre!
00:50:29A couple prior Steel Cage matches
00:50:31in Saturday Night's Main Event history
00:50:33both included Hulk Hogan,
00:50:34one against Paul Orndorff,
00:50:36the other against the Big Boss Man.
00:50:39Drew McIntyre is on a mission
00:50:42to destroy Damian Priest, Jesse.
00:50:44Oh, yeah, and I'll tell you this.
00:50:46I can say this honestly, Pat.
00:50:48If it were Saturday Night's Main Event
00:50:51back in the 80s,
00:50:52I do not think NBC would allow
00:50:55a cage match on TV.
00:50:57So the times indeed have changed
00:51:00when you can get a cage match on NBC.
00:51:04They certainly have,
00:51:05and what these two men are about to do
00:51:06to each other inside of it,
00:51:08it's possibly tough to watch,
00:51:10I do believe, buddy.
00:51:11Well, you know,
00:51:12the object is to escape,
00:51:14but I got the feeling
00:51:16neither one of these guys
00:51:17give a damn about escaping.
00:51:19Well, ladies and gentlemen,
00:51:20this Steel Cage match tonight
00:51:22on Saturday Night's Main Event
00:51:24is presented by Dude Wipes
00:51:27because wetter cleans better.
00:51:30For Drew McIntyre,
00:51:31this started a couple years ago
00:51:32at WrestleMania
00:51:33when he won the World Championship,
00:51:34held it for just over five minutes
00:51:36before Damian Priest
00:51:38cashed in Money in the Bank
00:51:39to take the title from McIntyre,
00:51:42and ever since then,
00:51:43these men have detested one another.
00:51:46NBC!
00:51:58The thing about this too, Pat,
00:52:00remember this,
00:52:02when a cage match happens,
00:52:04you're not going to see much wrestling.
00:52:07All fight.
00:52:08Exactly.
00:52:11I've been in a few of them in my career,
00:52:14and there's something that
00:52:16you kind of want to forget about.
00:52:25And his opponent,
00:52:27from New York City,
00:52:29weighing in at 249 pounds,
00:52:32Damian Priest!
00:52:35You know, recent history
00:52:36between these two men,
00:52:38Priest eliminated McIntyre
00:52:39from the rumble,
00:52:40eliminated McIntyre from the chamber.
00:52:42McIntyre caused Priest
00:52:43to be eliminated from the chamber.
00:52:45McIntyre won at WrestleMania.
00:52:47They were in a fatal four-way war
00:52:49where a salt of heaven was delivered
00:52:51from the stands to a table.
00:52:53Priest had his teeth
00:52:54knocked through his cheek.
00:52:56McIntyre almost knocked out Cole.
00:52:58Serious neck injury from that,
00:53:00and tonight they do it
00:53:01inside a steel cage.
00:53:03And like I said,
00:53:04I do not believe 35 years ago
00:53:06you would have had this
00:53:07on network television.
00:53:09Well, you've got it tonight
00:53:10on NBC.
00:53:14Damian Priest,
00:53:15who recently had what he called
00:53:17the highlight of his career,
00:53:19and McIntyre wasting little time
00:53:21going right after Damian Priest,
00:53:23and that's the last start
00:53:24until they're locked in the cage.
00:53:26Doors not being shut.
00:53:28You know, they may not even
00:53:29get to the cage.
00:53:30Well, they've been fighting
00:53:31all over the place.
00:53:32Just look at what happened
00:53:33on SmackDown last night.
00:53:35Drew McIntyre said it's on sight.
00:53:37Uh-oh.
00:53:38Remember, no disqualifications
00:53:39in this matchup,
00:53:40and McIntyre going to take
00:53:41full advantage
00:53:43as he sends some steel chairs
00:53:45into the ring.
00:53:46And bring some luggage with you
00:53:47inside that steel cage.
00:53:49Door slammed shut,
00:53:51and a match is underway,
00:53:52and Priest catches him
00:53:53with a right hand.
00:53:54Any strategy, Jesse,
00:53:55in a match like this?
00:53:57No, it's what it is,
00:53:58survival.
00:54:00This is about survival.
00:54:02Surviving in there.
00:54:03You're going to get your face
00:54:04rammed into the fence.
00:54:06You know, turnbuckle.
00:54:09Turnbuckles will be outdated
00:54:11right there.
00:54:12You know, you see that?
00:54:13He ain't looking to hit
00:54:14a Dominican with a turnbuckle.
00:54:15Oh!
00:54:16He's looking to put his head
00:54:17through the fence.
00:54:18So, Jesse, how do you
00:54:19mentally prepare yourself
00:54:20for going inside a steel cage
00:54:23off the flatliner?
00:54:24Well, my best attitude
00:54:26was get ready.
00:54:29You're going in there
00:54:30for the fight of your life,
00:54:31and it's survival.
00:54:33To me, you go in a cage,
00:54:35it's about surviving the cage.
00:54:38When I was making earlier,
00:54:40called it a career high
00:54:41when Damian Priest,
00:54:42a couple of weeks ago,
00:54:43Pat was inducted with a star
00:54:45on the Bronx-New York
00:54:46Walk of Fame.
00:54:48But it was so important
00:54:49to him and his family
00:54:50as Priest now looks to put
00:54:51McIntyre away.
00:54:53Well-earned, well-deserved
00:54:54for Damian Priest
00:54:55as he's getting his eyes gouged.
00:54:57Eyes gouged by Drew McIntyre.
00:54:59No rules.
00:55:00Again, everything legal
00:55:01in this matchup.
00:55:02Yeah, that, you know,
00:55:03that's the difficult thing
00:55:05here, too.
00:55:06Your referee,
00:55:08the only thing the referee
00:55:09can do is pound him out.
00:55:11That's Daphne Lasson
00:55:12in this matchup
00:55:13as McIntyre is taking control.
00:55:15Drew claims that Damian
00:55:17is obsessed with him,
00:55:18that he's been drawn
00:55:19into the Drew McIntyre vortex.
00:55:21And now Priest
00:55:22sent into the steel cage.
00:55:26McIntyre has taken over.
00:55:33Drew McIntyre
00:55:34trying to escape the cage
00:55:35here on Saturday night's
00:55:36main event,
00:55:37and Damian Priest
00:55:38trying to intercept
00:55:39McAfee and call it ringside
00:55:40with the legendary
00:55:41Governor Jesse
00:55:42Labate Ventura
00:55:43enjoying this matchup tonight.
00:55:45And, Jesse, it's been physical.
00:55:46I will tell you this,
00:55:47I ain't so much enjoying it.
00:55:49I'm feeling the pain, too.
00:55:51Oh, no, speaking of pain,
00:55:52Priest looks like he was
00:55:53going to go for the razor's edge,
00:55:55and McIntyre just saved himself.
00:55:57Hey, yo, that would have been
00:55:58a game-set match.
00:56:00Damian Priest
00:56:01would have been able to
00:56:02climb up over this fence
00:56:03and get the hell out of here.
00:56:04A lot of these guys
00:56:05have been eating steel here
00:56:06since the beginning.
00:56:07McIntyre now,
00:56:08top rope.
00:56:10Priest able to duck underneath.
00:56:12Big kick by Priest.
00:56:14McIntyre back up.
00:56:16Priest catches him.
00:56:17Priest down.
00:56:18South Manhattan choke slam.
00:56:20Priest for the win.
00:56:21Cover on McIntyre.
00:56:22And a kick out at two.
00:56:24Two and a half.
00:56:26And that is Priest's
00:56:27bread-and-butter move.
00:56:28But you know what?
00:56:30Close only counts
00:56:31in horseshoes and hand grenades.
00:56:33Indeed.
00:56:34And that is close right there.
00:56:37Incredible atmosphere
00:56:38here tonight in Tampa.
00:56:40Saturday night,
00:56:41South Manhattan, D.C.
00:56:42Is this the final chapter
00:56:43in the rivalry between
00:56:45Priest and McIntyre
00:56:46inside a steel cage?
00:56:48Priest now,
00:56:49maybe trying to escape
00:56:50up over the top.
00:56:51Left feet would have to
00:56:52hit the floor,
00:56:53McIntyre playing defense.
00:56:56Couldn't get the one, two, three,
00:56:57so he said,
00:56:58I'm going to climb the cage
00:56:59and get the hell out of here.
00:57:00Drew McIntyre says,
00:57:01I'll see you at the top.
00:57:03I don't know.
00:57:04If he gets away,
00:57:05he'll make it.
00:57:06Dangerous condition here.
00:57:07But I don't think
00:57:08he's getting away.
00:57:10McIntyre's got him hooked.
00:57:12He's got him hooked.
00:57:13He's looking to grab the tights
00:57:15and get a grip.
00:57:17When he gets that,
00:57:18oh, yeah.
00:57:19Superplex.
00:57:20Priest coming from
00:57:21the top of the cage.
00:57:26Pip up Drew McIntyre.
00:57:28McIntyre is ready
00:57:29to put Priest away.
00:57:32What a move that was, huh?
00:57:34Looking for the Claymore.
00:57:36Three, two, one.
00:57:40Claymore by McIntyre
00:57:42for the win
00:57:43inside the cage
00:57:45and a kick out by Priest.
00:57:50Tampa's on fire.
00:57:51I'll tell you,
00:57:52you know,
00:57:53I want to keep track
00:57:54of these referees
00:57:55and their timing
00:57:56on this one, two, three.
00:58:00Every ref has their own count.
00:58:01That's certainly
00:58:02a piece of information you have.
00:58:03Yeah.
00:58:04They all have their own count,
00:58:05but they need to be consistent
00:58:07with that count
00:58:08throughout the entire match.
00:58:10Indeed it is.
00:58:11The sold-out crowd
00:58:12of the Younglings Center
00:58:13in Tampa, Florida
00:58:15roaring their approval
00:58:16for this steel cage match
00:58:19between McIntyre and Priest.
00:58:21They're both down to guts right now.
00:58:24Look at that.
00:58:25Both out of gas.
00:58:26Yeah, tremendous.
00:58:27Nobody's got nothing left
00:58:28in the tank right now.
00:58:29Well, they've been through wars, Jesse,
00:58:31over the past number of months.
00:58:33I mean just tonight.
00:58:35The tanks are emptying.
00:58:37Well, maybe not.
00:58:38Second win perhaps
00:58:39coming from both McIntyre
00:58:40and Priest.
00:58:42And Priest
00:58:43using that martial arts background
00:58:44in a big right hand.
00:58:46These men will fight forever
00:58:47and they have
00:58:49if you let them.
00:58:51Damian Priest.
00:58:52And Priest now into the corner.
00:58:54Every piece of his body's a weapon.
00:58:56A weapon to Claymore.
00:58:57Priest hung on.
00:58:58Averted disaster there
00:59:00for the win.
00:59:01Another cover near fall.
00:59:08And McIntyre delivers
00:59:10his own self to heaven.
00:59:12Taking Priest's move.
00:59:14And Priest able to kick out at two.
00:59:17Jesse, what does McIntyre have to do?
00:59:22Well, he's got to speed up the ref count.
00:59:24Okay, obviously.
00:59:25Other than that body,
00:59:26I think Drew McIntyre
00:59:28saw Damian Priest try to Claymore earlier
00:59:30and said, is that funny?
00:59:31I'm going to use your move too.
00:59:32These two have fought each other so much.
00:59:34I assume they know each other inside and out.
00:59:36Yeah, Priest.
00:59:37And obviously no one has
00:59:39any move patented to themselves
00:59:41because certainly anyone
00:59:43can do anything in there.
00:59:44Priest, as tough as they come.
00:59:47McIntyre now staring back down
00:59:49at the steel chair that he
00:59:51sent into the ring before this matchup even started.
00:59:54Now going to use it as a weapon
00:59:56and right to the midsection of Priest.
00:59:59And unloading to the spine.
01:00:01And again, no disqualification.
01:00:04So the one and only time
01:00:07you can get away with that stuff in the ring.
01:00:09Again, your point that the official
01:00:11only counts the pinfallers,
01:00:12the submission in this matchup.
01:00:15Other officials outside the ring
01:00:17to see if both feet hit the floor.
01:00:19Do they get a full paycheck then
01:00:21if that's all they got?
01:00:22Of course.
01:00:23Putting themselves in danger obviously.
01:00:24They're in a steel cage.
01:00:25Jesse, they have the McAfee deal.
01:00:28Always get paid in full, brother.
01:00:30They got the McAfee deal, huh?
01:00:33No, because I mean,
01:00:34they don't have to do anything
01:00:36but count pinfall.
01:00:38I would think you'd get a discount on that.
01:00:40McIntyre now believes
01:00:41he's got this one won
01:00:43as he drags Priest back up.
01:00:46Oh, now, look at now.
01:00:48The way that chair's positioned.
01:00:50This is how McIntyre
01:00:51beat Priest in WrestleMania.
01:00:53But tonight, the Claymore
01:00:55misses Priest.
01:00:57Into the chair goes McIntyre.
01:01:00And now it's Priest's opportunity.
01:01:02With the chair.
01:01:03He goes low.
01:01:06Can he go high?
01:01:09Yep.
01:01:10And Priest now.
01:01:12Oh, no.
01:01:13The chair right to the throat.
01:01:20And Priest now
01:01:21with another south to heaven.
01:01:23McIntyre having problems breathing here.
01:01:28Might have trouble eating
01:01:30for the next few months, too.
01:01:32Priest better quit looking around
01:01:35at the crowd and finish him off
01:01:37when he's got the shot.
01:01:38Priest has got a mouse
01:01:39growing under the left eye.
01:01:41He's dinging around too much.
01:01:43Well, wait a minute.
01:01:44I believe he doesn't want
01:01:45to pin McIntyre here.
01:01:47He wants to punish the man
01:01:48that's made his life a living hell
01:01:49for the last two years.
01:01:51A concerto, potentially, here.
01:01:53Well, McIntyre's in trouble.
01:01:56He's thinking concerto, Cole.
01:01:58Damian Priest with McIntyre.
01:02:01Isn't moving.
01:02:02Center of the ring, Priest.
01:02:05With said concerto.
01:02:07That is the same move
01:02:09that he used to eliminate his mentor.
01:02:12The man who invented the concerto
01:02:14edge a number of years ago.
01:02:16And tonight, he uses it
01:02:18against his arch enemy,
01:02:20Drew McIntyre.
01:02:21And Priest now staring back at Drew.
01:02:25He's wasting too much time.
01:02:29Drew McIntyre has not moved.
01:02:33Damian Priest will walk
01:02:35out of the ring.
01:02:37Instead of pinning McIntyre,
01:02:40he'd rather deliver
01:02:42the ultimate insult.
01:02:44Embarrassing McIntyre
01:02:46and waltzing out of the ring
01:02:48to win the steel cage match.
01:02:51Wait a minute.
01:02:52Here is your winner,
01:02:54Damian Priest.
01:02:57Wait a minute.
01:02:59How do you win it going out the door?
01:03:03What kind of BS is that?
01:03:08He can walk out the door?
01:03:33With his head held high,
01:03:35a definitive victory tonight
01:03:37over Drew McIntyre.
01:03:39I'll throw in there and say
01:03:41he walked out like a coward.
01:03:43That's your take, Jesse, of course.
01:03:45But nonetheless, McIntyre...
01:03:47He could have at least gone over the top of the cage
01:03:49if he's going out.
01:03:51He walks out the door.
01:03:53Give me a break.
01:03:54The one who was being attended to
01:03:56by emergency medical personnel.
01:03:58Boy, that was exciting, wasn't it?
01:04:00Walking out the door.
01:04:02That's how you win a steel cage match.
01:04:04Pitfall, submission, escape.
01:04:05Both meet at the floor.
01:04:07Turned his back on Drew McIntyre
01:04:09after the concerto
01:04:10and walked out on him, buddy.
01:04:12He thinks it was probably a show of greatness
01:04:15if he asked Damian Priest.
01:04:17Well, he might think so,
01:04:19but I think he should have gone out over the top.
01:04:22Not walked out the door.
01:04:26Damian...
01:04:28I mean...
01:04:29Put Drew McIntyre in a position up.
01:04:31Why didn't he call up and have the limo driver
01:04:33waiting to open it for him?
01:04:36Emergency medical personnel
01:04:38attending to McIntyre off the concerto.
01:04:42McIntyre...
01:04:44He wants to walk out on his own power.
01:04:46Well, ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:48we are moments away
01:04:49from our main event here tonight.
01:04:51The world champion, Jey Uso,
01:04:54will yeet into Tampa with the title on the line
01:04:56against the social media megastar,
01:04:59Logan Paul.
01:05:00Uso, Paul, coming up next.
01:05:06On June 7th,
01:05:08Los Angeles hosts two epic events.
01:05:13WWE Worlds Collide,
01:05:15featuring AAA Lucha Libre.
01:05:17My, oh, my!
01:05:18How good is this?!
01:05:20And WWE Money in the Bank.
01:05:22The opportunity of a lifetime!
01:05:24Rise above the rest.
01:05:29WWE Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank.
01:05:32And the legends are out,
01:05:34including...
01:05:36the US Express,
01:05:38Mike Rotunda,
01:05:39and Barry Windham.
01:05:41Both men Hall of Famers.
01:05:42In fact, Barry's a two-time Hall of Famer.
01:05:44They are here tonight.
01:05:46These two won the first-ever match
01:05:48on Saturday night's main event.
01:05:50Let's check in with Joe and Jesse.
01:05:52Thank you very much, guys.
01:05:53We're sitting back and reflecting
01:05:55on this dynamic night we've already had.
01:05:57The code red from the top rope
01:05:59was Lena Vega.
01:06:00Priest with the concerto in the exit.
01:06:02Cena with the win.
01:06:04But what's impressed you the most?
01:06:06What's impressed me
01:06:08has been the return of Bronson Reed.
01:06:11I mean, this guy got injured a while back.
01:06:14And he just made a return tonight,
01:06:17crushing CM Punk.
01:06:20And he is going to be a force
01:06:22to be reckoned with real quick.
01:06:24The tsunami off the top rope.
01:06:26That led, of course,
01:06:27the win by Braun Breaker
01:06:29and Seth Rollins.
01:06:30As we are now, folks,
01:06:31just moments away
01:06:33from Logan Paul
01:06:35challenging Jey Uso
01:06:37for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:06:44Main event,
01:06:46Jey Uso.
01:06:48As the WWE fans
01:06:51are on their feet.
01:06:53Every city's yeeting with Jey Uso.
01:06:57I've never felt anything like this.
01:06:59Like the walls are moving.
01:07:00This is nuts.
01:07:02It's your time to create
01:07:04your own legacy, Uso.
01:07:08Jey Uso wins the damn title!
01:07:10The World Heavyweight Champion
01:07:13is now in your city!
01:07:18You people are so stupid.
01:07:21You don't know greatness
01:07:23when it's standing right in front of you.
01:07:25Man, I've done just about everything
01:07:26there is to do here in this industry,
01:07:28except win a world title.
01:07:31So, Jey Uso,
01:07:32you have something that I want.
01:07:34Uso!
01:07:36We're going to silence this noise.
01:07:38Because he thinks after 15 years
01:07:41that I'm going to just hand this over
01:07:43to some punk-ass YouTuber
01:07:45like Logan Paul.
01:07:46Stop!
01:07:47That title,
01:07:48I'm going to take it from you.
01:07:50So, Jey, enjoy it while you still can.
01:07:53Yeet!
01:07:54Super kick to Paul!
01:08:00Jey, you are not fit to be a champion.
01:08:04Logan Paul will be your new
01:08:06World Heavyweight Champion!
01:08:08The World Champion
01:08:10with a super kick to Logan Paul!
01:08:14Jey Uso defends his World Heavyweight Championship
01:08:17against Logan Paul.
01:08:19Will Jey Uso continue to get it done?
01:08:22Don't let him!
01:08:23Don't worry!
01:08:29Uso!
01:08:31Oh yeah, Paul!
01:08:35Let's go!
01:08:43Jey Uso!
01:08:45Jey Uso!
01:08:47Jey Uso!
01:08:49Bobby Yeet & Co!
01:08:51Jey Uso!
01:08:53Jey Uso!
01:08:54Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:5615 years ago tonight,
01:08:59Jey Uso and his brother Jimmy
01:09:02debuted in the WWE
01:09:05on Monday Night Raw.
01:09:07Tonight, 15 years later,
01:09:09Jey Uso is on Saturday Night's Main Event
01:09:12defending the World Heavyweight Championship!
01:09:17And he has the whole city on his back.
01:09:26That kid yeets
01:09:284,000 times better than you, Cole!
01:09:32Something about yeeting in Tampa.
01:09:35Jey Uso!
01:09:40That was awesome!
01:09:42That kid killed that!
01:09:45Jey Uso!
01:09:47Jey Uso!
01:09:49Jey Uso!
01:09:51Jey Uso!
01:09:53Jey Uso!
01:09:54I'm gonna tell him you stopped yeeting.
01:09:57Yeah!
01:10:05The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
01:10:16Introducing the challenger, from Toronto Beach, Puerto Rico, by way of Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 220 pounds, Logan Paul!
01:10:33Saturday night's main event on NBC is presented tonight by Dude White.
01:10:38That's clean, hands down.
01:10:41Logan Paul with his first opportunity at this World Heavyweight Championship.
01:10:47He has never gone one-on-one with Jey Uso.
01:10:49Pat, this is the second title defense for main event Jey Uso here tonight.
01:10:55It feels like everybody in the WWE is gunning for Jey Uso, and tonight he's got to deal with the magic.
01:11:02The winner of this match-up, of course, no rest for the weary.
01:11:06Two weeks from Monday in Phoenix, the winner will defend the world title against the former champ, Gunther,
01:11:13who I'm sure is watching this match very closely tonight.
01:11:17Referee Rod Zapata will be the official in this match-up for the world title.
01:11:21Both men successful at WrestleMania.
01:11:23Jey Uso defeating Gunther, tapping him out to win the title.
01:11:26Logan Paul beat AJ Styles.
01:11:31It always feels like it's for the entire industry whenever Logan Paul is fighting somebody.
01:11:37He is taken to this business quicker than anybody.
01:11:41John Cena in a backstage altercation with Jey Uso a little bit earlier tonight.
01:11:48Basically, Cena put a lot of pressure on Jey Uso's shoulders.
01:11:52Imagine if you lose to a, quote, YouTuber.
01:11:55It would bring all the prophecy true for John Cena,
01:12:00something Cena's been saying for the past number of months.
01:12:02Cena thinks that would ruin wrestling, although if you listen to Logan Paul,
01:12:05he thinks it would be great for wrestling and the business as a whole.
01:12:08Logan caught Jey with an elbow.
01:12:10Logan very good in between those ropes.
01:12:12Very well known around the globe.
01:12:15And Paul now, wow, what a blockbuster, taking out Uso.
01:12:18And a kick-up by Paul, tremendous athlete, former United States champion.
01:12:23The disdain of the WWE fans.
01:12:28Jey Uso here, he's not going to underestimate anybody because he's our world champ,
01:12:33but Logan Paul does seemingly sneak up on people quick.
01:12:36And Logan now up over the top, takes out the champ.
01:12:39Logan Paul could be closing in on his first ever world title.
01:12:48We are back on Saturday night's main event.
01:12:50Jey Uso, the world champion, is rallying here against Logan Paul
01:12:54with his title on the line in our main event tonight.
01:12:57He's put Logan Paul in a blender here.
01:12:59Yeah, Logan was putting on a clinic, throwing a number of jabs earlier on,
01:13:03of course, setting up Uso for the titanium-plated right hand.
01:13:08Bang into the corner.
01:13:10Uso takes out Paul.
01:13:12Here's the cover by Jey to retain the championship.
01:13:15Paul kicks it, too.
01:13:17Remember that right hand of Logan Paul has knocked out Jey Uso
01:13:21three separate times in the past number of weeks.
01:13:26Maybe even four in the preparation here for our world champion.
01:13:31Jey Uso taken to the sky.
01:13:33Comfortable.
01:13:35Logan Paul stomped him, rolls him through.
01:13:38Shoulders are now down.
01:13:40Two-count kick-out by Uso.
01:13:42Zapata is an incredible referee.
01:13:45Oh, Logan's not happy.
01:13:47Yeah, Logan upset.
01:13:48Thought it was a slow count by Zapata.
01:13:51Logan's been here for a few years.
01:13:53He's had a couple massive matches, still young in his entirety.
01:13:56And Logan looking to put Jey Uso away here perhaps.
01:14:00Marching around the ring with the world champion.
01:14:04Wow, rolled through again.
01:14:06Logan's so impressive.
01:14:07Second rope, moonsault.
01:14:09Knees.
01:14:10And the knees right to the midsection of Logan Paul.
01:14:13And Uso creates some space, trying to fight back into this.
01:14:20Logan Paul was able to read the distance he needed for that.
01:14:23Lionsault.
01:14:26And a pop-off Samoan.
01:14:28Cover by Jey to retain the title.
01:14:32And Logan kicks.
01:14:34That was close, Paul.
01:14:38And Logan Paul was going to say, no mas after that pop-off Samoan.
01:14:42Drop.
01:14:48I don't know where you think Jey Uso tries to take over.
01:14:52Logan Paul back to his feet as well.
01:14:54Made him at Jey Uso.
01:14:55We're going to dig down deep, much like he did against Gunther back at WrestleMania.
01:15:00Paul trying to hang on.
01:15:03And the turnbuckle pad from the second turnbuckle ripped off.
01:15:08And Jey Uso now sends Logan out to the floor and into our table.
01:15:15Jey Uso looking to fly.
01:15:17And Jey now with a suicide dive.
01:15:19And there's that right hand.
01:15:20The right hand by Logan Paul caught Jey Uso.
01:15:24And now sends Jey into the corner.
01:15:29And Logan Paul off the apron.
01:15:32There's that snap shot.
01:15:33Lariat, but he got caught by the super kick.
01:15:36Cover by the champ.
01:15:38And a kick out at two.
01:15:47Great ring awareness by the champion Uso.
01:15:52You got to think Jey Uso is wondering what it's going to take here.
01:15:55Yeah, 15 years ago tonight, mentioned earlier,
01:15:58Jey Uso made his debut in WWE with his brother Jey on Monday Night Raw.
01:16:0215 years later, he's defending the World Heavyweight Championship
01:16:05in the main event of Saturday Night's main event.
01:16:09And Logan Paul sends Uso shoulder first into the exposed turnbuckle.
01:16:14And Logan now with an opportunity.
01:16:16Big right hand.
01:16:17Down goes Uso for the win and the title.
01:16:21And Jey kicks at two.
01:16:25That hand is dropped, Jey.
01:16:27So many times over the last few weeks.
01:16:32Exposed turnbuckle into that massive right from Logan Paul.
01:16:39And Logan's got to be wondering, what do I have to do to put Jey away?
01:16:43One more big right.
01:16:46Hands all over Logan Paul here tonight.
01:16:48Uso catches him with a super kick.
01:16:50Logan's down.
01:16:52Uso setting him up.
01:16:53Looking for the Frog Splash to retain the championship.
01:16:58Jey from up top.
01:16:59Frog Splash connecting.
01:17:03Uso into the cover.
01:17:05Hooks the leg.
01:17:07Oh, Cena.
01:17:08John Cena just pulled the official out of the ring,
01:17:12and now he's assaulting Jey Uso.
01:17:19John Cena, the man who says he wants to ruin wrestling.
01:17:23The man who told Jey Uso earlier, I'll retire with the title.
01:17:27And the one you have is going to be worn by a YouTuber.
01:17:31And that prophecy may come true here tonight.
01:17:35The official's out.
01:17:41And here comes the quarterback.
01:17:47Cody Rhodes is back.
01:17:49For the first time since WrestleMania.
01:17:57Cross Rhodes just stayed up.
01:18:00Meanwhile, Logan Paul's got brass knuckles.
01:18:02Paul's got brass knuckles.
01:18:05This is wildly spanned by Uso.
01:18:15Uso going up top.
01:18:18Frog Splash.
01:18:21Rod Zapata has come to.
01:18:24Uso retains.
01:18:28Here is your winner, and still the world heavyweight champion,
01:18:36Jey Uso.
01:18:41Despite the efforts of Logan Paul and John Cena.
01:18:47And thank you, Cody Rhodes.
01:18:50You've ruined enough.
01:18:53I'm sorry that the John Cena farewell tour
01:18:56rode right through Rhodes' country.
01:18:59But I'm back.
01:19:01I'm ready to fight.
01:19:02You got yourself a partner in Logan Paul.
01:19:05I got myself a brother in the world.
01:19:07Heavyweight champion.
01:19:10And money in the bank.
01:19:14Wow.
01:19:15Two weeks from tonight.
