00:00Hell in a Cell now lowering will surround the ring.
00:14For the first time ever on SmackDown, a Hell in a Cell match.
00:18This for the Universal Championship.
00:20The man that asked for it.
00:30Rey Mysterio a three time world champion.
00:40The following contest is a Hell in a Cell match for
00:48the Universal Championship.
00:53Introducing the challenger.
00:55He is one half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champion, Rey Mysterio.
01:03And for the first time in his career, Rey Mysterio enters this structure.
01:09That is 20 feet tall, that weighs five tons, that will lock Mysterio inside.
01:14With one of the most dangerous competitors in the history of WWE,
01:18Roman Reigns.
01:19I'm not sure what Rey Mysterio wants most.
01:22Is it revenge on Roman Reigns for what he did to his son?
01:26Or is it the Universal Championship?
01:28It doesn't matter, he's in there now.
01:31What will happen?
01:36Roman Reigns has turned Rey Mysterio into an emotional powder keg.
01:42Coming up next, history will be made on FOX.
01:47For the first time in the history of network television.
01:51A Hell in a Cell match where Roman Reigns defends the Universal Title against Rey Mysterio.
01:59It's Hell in a Cell, and it's live next on FOX.
02:04Tonight, it's about avenging his son, Dominik, and
02:09trying to win the Universal Championship from the head of the table.
02:16You wonder what's going through the mind of Rey Mysterio now as he waits inside Hell in a Cell for
02:34a Cell, Roman Reigns, Roman Reigns warning Rey earlier tonight I don't want to hurt you.
02:46But what I did to your son Dominik was PG to what I'm going to do to you tonight.
02:53And there is perhaps the most dominant Universal Champion in WWE history.
03:01Right side of the screen, a bloodline of greatness in the WWE.
03:09This is the greatest of all, Roman Reigns.
03:23And his opponent, accompanied by his special counsel, Paul Heyman.
03:31He is the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
03:41You know, Big E, they did an interview with Big E earlier today, and
03:44they asked him about this matchup tonight.
03:46And Big E said, very simply, we should all pray for Rey Mysterio tonight.
03:52I think we're all feeling that way.
03:54We all love Rey.
03:55He's been around a long time, he's been great a long time.
03:58This is not a good decision, I think, in anybody's eyes for Rey.
04:19The Universal Championship.
04:21There's a lot on the line here for both men.
04:25But Roman Reigns has never lost whenever that door gets locked on this cage.
04:31And the bell rings matchup is underway.
04:33No disqualifications, no count outs.
04:36You gotta win via pinfall or submission.
04:38And Rey Mysterio, knowing that, brings a steel chair into play.
04:41Look at the odds against Roman Reigns.
04:43And Roman trying to fight the chair away and does for Mysterio.
04:48Outpowering Rey Mysterio, who has never been in a Hell in a Cell.
04:51Yeah, and I was gonna ask you, Pat, is that a good or bad thing for Mysterio,
04:53that he doesn't know really what he's getting into tonight?
04:56Seems like he scouted out what's underneath the ring though, grabs a chair early.
04:59And now Rey Mysterio, a fire extinguisher blinding the champion.
05:05And suddenly Mysterio may have an opportunity early.
05:07And Mysterio, a fire extinguisher off the face of Reigns.
05:12A chair, a fire extinguisher.
05:15This is Hell in a Cell, Rey Mysterio up early on Reigns.
05:19And again, illegal, no disqualifications inside Hell in a Cell.
05:22Rey Mysterio using the emotion that has been building over the past week
05:29to take the early upper hand with Reigns.
05:31The emotion built so much that he said, I can't wait any longer.
05:34Move this Sunday match to Friday night.
05:37Attacking early and often here of Roman.
05:39The entire Mysterio family has to be watching, the entire bloodline.
05:45Dad might have gotten into something he was kind of forced to get into
05:48because the disrespect of his mijo.
05:51But this is Roman Reigns we're talking about, and this is Hell in a Cell.
05:55And Rey Mysterio has Roman Reigns in all kinds of trouble early.
05:58Rey Mysterio doing everything he can, meanwhile now with a toolbox in hand.
06:04Zero offense thus far, what will happen?
06:07Mysterio in control.
06:09Rey Mysterio pulling out all the stops to get revenge and become the champion.
06:21My God, no.
06:22My goodness though, Roman Reigns is caught in a chair.
06:24It's right in the middle of the cell.
06:26Reigns having trouble breathing.
06:29And Rey Mysterio assaulting Roman.
06:34Rey called this the most demonic structure in the history.
06:38Pat, is that a look of panic on the face of the champion Reigns?
06:41The ring post now, Rey Mysterio on a motion taking the fight to the champion.
06:50This is all Rey Mysterio, the tag team champion might become the universal champion in
06:55his first ever appearance in Hell in a Cell taking over Roman Reigns.
07:01Watch this, right into the ring post.
07:03Roman Reigns trying to figure out what the hell he needs to do to get back into this
07:07fight.
07:08Perhaps that's it.
07:09He's gonna have to use his power.
07:11Gasping for air, trying to somehow regroup.
07:17He's been in this cage of hell before, but he is taking a lot of damage.
07:23Mysterio sidestepping in.
07:25Roman Reigns imploding the table.
07:28Remember, you wouldn't be a pinfall or submission.
07:34But Rey Mysterio wants to just hurt Reigns.
07:36I don't think I ever thought in my life I would see this.
07:40Roman Reigns has been getting his ass beat by Rey Mysterio.
07:45And now he goes face first through a table into the cage.
07:49It shows you the incredible adrenaline and emotion when you see your son destroyed and
07:54damaged and beaten up like Rey had to watch last week.
07:57And who could blame Rey Mysterio after everything that has happened?
08:01Yeah.
08:02Wants to instill absolute damage on Roman.
08:05Yeah, but Roman Reigns starting to assert his authority, Pat.
08:08And this is what Mysterio had to be wary of, had to try to stay away from Roman Reigns as
08:13you look down through this hellacious Hell in a Cell structure.
08:16He went for the Sunset Flip Powerbomb.
08:18Roman Reigns able to hang on.
08:21I think he tried to get in there twice, bad decision.
08:23Roman found his base, punched him in the mouth.
08:26Now.
08:28Rey Mysterio still with fight left, mighty back against Reigns.
08:32Uh-oh, went for a hurricane.
08:33My goodness, and Reigns swinging Mysterio like a baseball bat into the side of Hell in a Cell.
08:40That's another grown man.
08:42Roman Reigns is swinging around like a bag of bones.
08:46And now it becomes a frightening proposition for Rey Mysterio.
08:50No!
08:51Roman Reigns has taken control!
08:54Wow!
09:02We are back on Friday Night SmackDown on Fox.
09:05Inside Hell in a Cell for the first time ever on SmackDown.
09:08Roman Reigns now defending the Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio.
09:12I'm the head of the table for a reason.
09:15And when we look back, maybe consider the turning point of this match.
09:20Rey Mysterio was giving Roman all he could handle and then Roman picked up Rey and
09:25threw him off the cage.
09:30And suddenly, Roman Reigns' gene of destruction has come out.
09:35And Reigns pummeling Mysterio.
09:38You gotta remember, when you're Roman Reigns,
09:40you're taking everybody's best shot every night of the week.
09:44Rey Mysterio came out here emotional, fired up.
09:50Roman Reigns was able to weather the early emotional storm in which Rey dominated the
09:54early part of the matchup.
09:55A chair, a fire extinguisher, a toolbox.
09:59And now- He will acknowledge you!
10:01Reigns, Superman punch, and you heard Heyman screaming.
10:05He's going to acknowledge you.
10:07Acknowledge me, acknowledge me.
10:10Tell the whole world who the baddest fool is here.
10:14He is the baddest fool on Earth.
10:17You can't argue with him.
10:18He told me to say it, and it's the truth.
10:20I'll say it every time.
10:21One Superman punch with the eyes on- And now Rey Mysterio struggling to his face.
10:29Rey, looking to rally, caught Reigns who may have been going for the spear.
10:33And just like that, Reigns with a boot puts Rey Mysterio down and out.
10:40Rey though the fight.
10:41Remember, the biggest underdog in the history of WWE, Rey Mysterio,
10:46multiple time world champion.
10:49Went for the 619 and ran into a right hand.
10:54We're about to see a 619 in a Hell in a Cell on Friday Night SmackDown on network television.
11:00And Roman Reigns said, uh-uh.
11:02Punch him right in the mouth.
11:04Rey, you gotta think the emotion, the anger has worn off by now.
11:11Roman Reigns is stalking Rey Mysterio.
11:13But Mysterio using his quickness again out of harm's way.
11:16Shoulder first to the post for Reigns.
11:18And this gives Rey Mysterio another opportunity.
11:22And Rey Mysterio now with a 619 with Reigns in trouble in the corner.
11:26And now Rey with a steel chair in hand again.
11:31And let the punishment ensue.
11:34This is for my son.
11:36This is for my family.
11:38This is for everything you've put me through, he says with the chair.
11:43And with Roman Reigns near lightless in the center of the ring.
11:47Rey Mysterio places the chair on the chest.
11:51And now Rey gonna climb up to the top rope.
11:54Rey climbing high.
11:55Splash!
11:56Mysterio's got an opportunity, but Rey may have hurt himself.
11:59That's it.
12:00I think Rey hurt himself.
12:02Rey came down on the steel chair with a splash and not only hurt Roman, but he hurt Rey.
12:07A Guerrero-esque splash.
12:10Dominik has been doing it and winning for the family.
12:13Rey does it on a chair.
12:15I thought that was it.
12:16And Rey Mysterio back out to the apron, trying to somehow will himself.
12:20Will himself a win again.
12:23The largest heart in the history of WWE.
12:26On the top rope, another splash to Reigns.
12:30Cover by Mysterio to win the title, and Reigns at two.
12:37That was almost a earth-shaking moment.
12:42Rey Mysterio.
12:43At first, this is the splash to the chair.
12:45Not only harming Reigns, but Rey hurt himself.
12:47But Rey was able to deliver a second frog splash.
12:50And almost a whisper away from winning the championship.
12:54Rey understands what he's in there with.
12:56He knew not just one splash would do the trick.
12:58He thought two would.
12:59But that wasn't enough.
13:01This is Roman Reigns.
13:02Yeah, but Rey Mysterio's battled so
13:04many warriors throughout his long and illustrious career.
13:07He understands what it takes to put a man like Roman Reigns away.
13:10Mysterio now.
13:11Well, Roman Reigns able to catch Rey though.
13:16And Reigns with Rey up top.
13:20My God!
13:21Deja vu of Dominik last week.
13:23But tonight, it's Rey thrown right into the cell.
13:27Oh, my God!
13:33Oh, my God!
13:34Oh, my God!
13:36No commentary needed.
13:39Roman Reigns just threw another Mysterio out of the ring.
13:45The official trying to check on Rey and Reigns won't let it happen.
13:48Roman Reigns is looking to put Mysterio away.
13:51Reigns smells blood.
13:52Reigns understands.
13:54And look at that.
13:56And Rey just taps out.
13:58Rey's got to tap out.
13:59Roman Reigns in a version of the guillotine.
14:02Here is your winner and still, the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
14:11Another incredible performance by Reigns.
14:15It was a valiant effort, a game effort by Rey Mysterio.
14:18But that won't end.
14:19Ended Rey Mysterio's dreams.
14:22And an inverted guillotine here.
14:25And as soon as he locked it in, Rey knew he had the cap or he was going to pass.
14:30Ah!
14:31Roman Reigns victorious.
14:35Dominant, yet again, in Hell in a Cell.
14:38In remaining our Universal Champion.

14:52this incredible title reign.

15:06A rift that has gone on for weeks.
15:10Has it been repaired?
15:11Roman Reigns has had to deal with that.
15:15And a Hell in a Cell match against one of the greatest of all time in Rey Mysterio.
15:21Jimmy says, thanks for representing our family.

15:27While Rey crawls around after the anguish of getting his ass beat in Hell in a Cell in the name of his son.

15:44My God, Roman Reigns again with that guillotine locked in.
16:05Rey, Rey tapping out.
16:07But again, Rey Mysterio's helpless.
16:11Dominic's on, he can't come help him.
