00:00.
00:01Come on.
00:03Come on.
00:06Everybody, everybody, so-so, what's it?
00:09I'm gonna wait for the win.
00:11Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:15Come on, come on.
00:17What do we say?
00:19We'll say, oh, oh.
00:22It is electric inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, 18,000 plus expected for Money in the Bank.
00:43Welcome to Money in the Bank kickoff. Michael Cole, the legendary JBL, the Hall of Famer Jerry, the King Lawler King.
00:49What an opportunity for the Usos tonight.
00:52And you know, I just got a funny feeling, it's a gut feeling, that this may be the night for the Usos.
00:57Well, this is how the Usos got here, got this opportunity here in Philadelphia.
01:02They earned their spot on Raw a few weeks ago.
01:05A triple threat match to become number one contenders for the tag team titles against 3MB and tons of funk in the action, John.
01:13Fast and Furious.
01:14Thanks for the Fast and Furious. We see the flying sofa in Rota's play.
01:18But it would be the Usos double-teaming their way.
01:24What a Samoa drop.
01:27And then the Frog Splash from the upper deck.
01:30And the Usos gave the opportunity to face the Shield for the tag team titles here tonight.
01:41The Usos have had their run-ins with the Shield, including on SmackDown a couple of weeks ago, winning a big six-man tag team matchup.
01:48And that celebration was nothing compared to what they'll see tonight if they win these titles.
01:53And their opponents representing the Shield at a combined weight of 482 pounds, and are the current WWE Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
02:07We are so glad you would join us tonight here on the Money in the Bank kickoff as the Shield make their way through what will be an extremely raucous crowd here tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
02:17So much anticipation about tonight, even among the superstars all day long.
02:42This is going to be one heck of a night, right, JBL?
02:45I've got to agree with you, this is one of the most loaded ladder matches I have ever seen coming up in Money in the Bank.
02:51And this is for the tag team titles, the Usos against the Shield.
02:55And it looks as if Jey Uso's going to start things off against Seth Rollins here tonight.
03:00Bit of a rematch, John, from this past Friday Night on SmackDown, where Seth would knock off Jey in one-on-one action.
03:06The Shield has done everything.
03:07Here we go, quickly for the title.
03:09They said they were going to do.
03:11They say they're going to retain the championship tonight.
03:13And again, the Usos looking for a quick victory over the Shield.
03:15Seems like wise strategy.
03:17Take the Shield down early.
03:19Going for the backslide.
03:20Is it enough here?
03:21Jey Uso as Rollins kicks out at two and quickly looks to regroup in his corner.
03:25The Shield are a great team.
03:27You don't want to let a great team get in rhythm.
03:29And that's what right now the Usos are doing well, keeping them out of rhythm.
03:32You're right, taking them out of their game early on here.
03:34The Shield would tweet earlier today that there's a, quote, new set of Broad Street bullies coming to Philadelphia.
03:41And Roman Reigns will try his fare with Jey Uso.
03:44That's tougher than the Mean Street posse.
03:47Dean Ambrose, of course, the third member of the Shield.
03:49Not out here for this matchup.
03:51He is preparing for the Money in the Bank ladder match for a World Heavyweight Championship contract.
03:57And those big right hands from Roman Reigns finding their mark.
04:00What a powerhouse this Roman Reigns is.
04:04Already the RVD for Rob Van Dam chants begin.
04:08Van Dam making his return to Philadelphia in the WWE later on tonight.
04:12It's going to explode when RVD comes out here.
04:18I'll tell you, the Shield have not been able to get out of the blocks early, John, as Jey makes the tag to Jimmy Uso.
04:24And the Usos are a good team.
04:25They're a quick, fast team.
04:27So all along, it's going to take a team to beat the Shield.
04:32Cover for the tag team titles.
04:34You've had a lot of great individuals team up against the Shield.
04:37The Usos are one of the first teams that has gone against them.
04:40These two young men have been a team their entire lives.
04:43Jimmy and Jey wearing the face paint again here tonight.
04:47Again, another cover and a kick out.
04:49They would be the first twins to ever win a tag team championship.
04:52So the Sivatar war dance as they came out here said it comes from the gut.
04:58It's all about emotion.
04:59And they're emotional tonight.
05:02That'll knock the emotion right out of you.
05:04Sure will.
05:05And again, another cover and another near fall for the Usos.
05:08It's a great South Pacific tradition.
05:10John, you talk about Philadelphia, you talk about the Northeast.
05:15Of course, the Usos and the great family has brought us the Wild Samoans, the Hall of Famers,
05:20former tag team champions.
05:23I think he missed with a big kick.
05:25The Shield really needs to regroup.
05:27We'll be back with more in 60 seconds.
05:3020 minutes just about before we get to the official start of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
05:39This is Money in the Bank kickoff.
05:40The Usos versus The Shield for The Shield's tag team titles.
05:44And The Usos have literally dominated this match up to this point.
05:49Cover again by The Usos in another near fall.
05:51And we talked about it earlier on, guys.
05:53The Shield have not been able to get going in this match.
05:57Well, you've got to give credit to The Usos.
05:58Uh-oh, that may stop The Usos' momentum right there.
06:02Seth Rollins rolls to the tag.
06:04Here comes the powerhouse, Roman Reigns,
06:06who said earlier on this week that they're more focused than ever before.
06:12The Shield winning the tag team titles back at Extreme Rules
06:15when they defeated Team Hell No.
06:17Well, that's dangerous if The Shield is more focused than ever before.
06:21They've only put out John Cena, The Undertaker, The Rock.
06:23So if they're more focused, that's bad.
06:25Already trending worldwide on Twitter.
06:27Hashtag money in the bank.
06:29Hashtag MITB.
06:31You can use that all night long to join in the conversation here.
06:34And if you trend worldwide, Michael Cole, I'm going to quit social media.
06:37It's going to be the first time.
06:38Whoa.
06:38Oh, man.
06:40Roman Reigns just almost decapitated.
06:45Wow.
06:46What a close line.
06:48What's this?
06:52Complete flip and landed out on the floor.
06:54That cannot be good for you.
06:57And Seth Rollins looking to take advantage.
07:00Now The Shield begin with the frequent tags.
07:02I'm not sure it's a wise move by Seth Rollins.
07:04I know they're trying to keep it.
07:05Seth again into the cover.
07:06Hooks the leg this time.
07:07Does he have a no?
07:08Two and a half.
07:08I know they're trying to keep their own minimum.
07:10I think they could have got away with the count-out victory right there.
07:12I agree.
07:12The Shield looking to set the tone here tonight.
07:16Money in the bank kickoff.
07:17Wells Fargo Center.
07:18Philadelphia.
07:19Over 18,000 sold out.
07:23Yeah, when you're performing in front of a huge crowd like this, JBL,
07:26you know as well as anybody, you want to beat your opponent any way you can.
07:30And again, Rollins.
07:31Is it enough?
07:32Here and here, Paul, again for The Shield.
07:34And by any means necessary.
07:35Take the win.
07:36Go home.
07:38Here we go.
07:40Tag made.
07:40Roman Reigns.
07:41And in The Shield, you can double-team with the best of them.
07:47This Roman Reigns, John, has been so impressive.
07:51An absolute powerhouse.
07:57Reigns 6'3", 265 from Pensacola, Florida.
08:02Well, I said I had a good feeling that this might be the Usos' night,
08:04but that might have been gas.
08:06We mentioned earlier, you can join in the conversation tonight on Twitter
08:11by using the hashtag Money in the Bank.
08:14Perhaps we'll be using your tweets throughout the night as Rollins comes in.
08:18Frequent tags again for The Shield, John.
08:22The Shield are one of the best teams I've ever seen.
08:24And as a three-person team, I would argue they've had the greatest debut
08:31in the first year of any team in history.
08:34Yeah, you mentioned a number of the names that they've taken out
08:37over the past seven or eight months.
08:40And as tag team champions, when these two guys get the momentum swung in their favor,
08:45it is really hard to stop The Shield.
08:47The ego is always in the team.
08:50And that's what makes The Shield so dangerous.
08:53They will do whatever they have to for the benefit of the team.
08:58Extreme rules, not only the night that Rollins and Reigns won the tag titles,
09:01also the night Dean Ambrose won the United States Championship.
09:05And they haven't looked back since.
09:09What a night that was.
09:10Is the pace now conducive to The Shield, John?
09:12Whoa, absolutely.
09:14Oh, wait a minute.
09:15May have spoke too soon.
09:17The Shield found a way to slow it down, isolate third opponent,
09:21and let the numbers game work, which is uncanny what they do.
09:26It's a two-on-two match, and somehow they always end up with numbers on their side.
09:30Again, we invite you to join us on a pay-per-view tonight for Money in the Bank
09:34on the WWE app, Xbox, Samsung, Smart TVs, WWE.com,
09:39and, of course, your local cable and satellite provider.
09:42Comes your way in just about 16 minutes as you see the Uso's now unloading.
09:46On Rollins.
09:47I believe a tag was made there by Reigns.
09:51Jay Uso had no clue the tag was made, and Roman Reigns, can he take advantage here?
09:56Oh, so close.
09:57And look at this.
10:03Great resilience and a great move by Rollins.
10:05Great move by Seth Rollins.
10:08Boy, you're right.
10:09The Shield.
10:10Man, the wheels in their head are all spinning.
10:13I don't know how two guys can be everywhere they are.
10:16Jay Uso was close to making an attack when Seth Rollins made sure he didn't have it up.
10:21Guys, that's what I'm saying.
10:22Numbers work on these guys somehow.
10:24It is absolutely uncanny what they do.
10:26Yeah, the point John's making is usually we're talking about the numbers game
10:29with the Shield of three men involved,
10:30but they can take advantage with just two men when it's two-on-two.
10:33And there's Rollins again.
10:35Clothesline on the floor.
10:36These guys, you know, not to mention they have great strategy,
10:41but they always have evil intentions.
10:44And it's time.
10:45Reigns looks to put the Uso's away who stay alive.
10:48The Hounds of Justice are now exactly where they want to be,
10:52in complete control.
10:54We'll be back with more in 60 seconds.
10:58And a tag was made, folks, and the Uso's are beginning to roll.
11:02This is giving the tiny point of the matchup.
11:04Here come the Uso's with the tag team titles on the line.
11:09Part of the Money in the Bank kickoff.
11:11This is your chance to make a name for yourself, guys.
11:13Both members of the Shield, down and out.
11:15Tag team championship up for grabs.
11:18Can the Uso's do it here?
11:19Rollins is in trouble.
11:20And he's got it.
11:21Can the Uso?
11:22Top ball.
11:23Is it enough?
11:24Toucan got it now.
11:25And a near fall for the Uso's.
11:27Stay on him.
11:27Stay on him.
11:28Stay with it, Uso.
11:29The Uso's trending worldwide on Twitter.
11:31WWE fans in Philadelphia, Red Hot tonight.
11:36Will we see a tag team title change on the Money in the Bank kickoff?
11:40Rikishi watching with a smile at home, watching his two boys.
11:43Are you feeling it?
11:44Speaking of daddy.
11:49Uso with his own Superman punch.
11:52Look at that, someone dropped.
11:54Yeah.
11:54A thing of beauty.
11:55Look at the expression on Jimmy Uso's face.
12:06He cannot let doubt creep in there.
12:09Stay on the offensive here.
12:11Jimmy.
12:11He thought he had Seth Rollins.
12:15Oh, you're going to think you have these guys a lot of times.
12:17Quit thinking.
12:18Right.
12:18And Rollins quickly back to his feet and buys himself time.
12:27Think long, think wrong.
12:30Uso taken out of his game plan for just a second.
12:32That was just enough for Seth Rollins.
12:39And now Seth Rollins at 6'1", 209 pounds.
12:42And look how quickly things have changed here.
12:45That frantic and chaotic style, Rollins.
12:47We got us a little air time coming down.
12:49Hubs to put the Uso.
12:49Wait a minute.
12:52Hey.
12:53This is not good news.
12:55Not good news at all.
12:58Roman Reigns.
12:59What?
13:01You've got to be kidding me.
13:10Oh, man.
13:11Have you ever seen anything like that?
13:15Philly just exploded.
13:17Which one's legal?
13:19I don't know.
13:20There's nothing but carnage in the ring.
13:21Look at this.
13:24Incredible.
13:27Powerbomb.
13:28Rollins.
13:29Superplex.
13:30For the win.
13:31Backstopplex.
13:31Hook in the leg and a kick out.
13:33Staying alive.
13:36What a match.
13:37The Uso's are stepping up to the plate.
13:43Hey, you gotta love it.
13:45But so is the Shield.
13:47Seth Rollins just said, you gotta be kidding me.
13:49From behind.
13:50Shield get a little of their own medicine.
13:54Well, you know what they say about paybacks.
13:56I told you, a great team is the only thing that beats a great team.
14:01Now it's Rollins.
14:02Rollins runs into a right hand.
14:03That's a kick from the face.
14:04He got their champions.
14:05Incredible.
14:05Jimmy Uso going to the top rope.
14:12It's Uso time.
14:15The Uso's bringing home the gold.
14:17Now Reigns.
14:18Reigns saves it.
14:20Where did he come from?
14:21Look out.
14:25And this is chaos.
14:26There's that Superman punch.
14:29The legal men are Rollins and Jimmy Uso.
14:33They're in the ring.
14:34This is awesome.
14:35This is awesome.
14:37This is awesome.
14:39Going back up.
14:41You gotta be kidding me.
14:42Right here is how you step up.
14:43And the Philly WWE fans appreciate it.
14:46In a big event.
14:47A Samoan drop from the top.
14:49No, wait.
14:49Seth Rollins slides down the spine.
14:51Is it enough for Rollins here?
14:53Now Roman Reigns from behind.
14:55A big right hand.
14:56Rollins looking to somehow capitalize here.
15:00Boom.
15:01Reigns.
15:02Spear.
15:04Reigns made a tag.
15:05Spear.
15:06It's over.
15:07The winner of this match and still WWE Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
15:23The Shield.
15:27The Futures now.
15:29The Hounds of Justice with a sea of Philly fans behind them.
15:34It is their yard.
15:37What a match.
15:39The Shield victorious, but how game king were the Usos tonight.
