00:00:00understand how this man's on his feet after being dropped on his head
00:00:03and that was part luck, part brilliance
00:00:05from Jacob Fatou and Solo Zicoa had no idea
00:00:09and now an impaler by Jacob Fatou
00:00:12and now out to the apron
00:00:14blink and things change quickly
00:00:17around Jacob Fatou
00:00:20swan tawn by Jacob to retain the championship
00:00:24and a kick out by Solo
00:00:26I'm gonna see this thing again
00:00:31German suplex attending
00:00:34you see, oh wow, a full rotation
00:00:37took it on the belly
00:00:38but straight back up
00:00:41taking down Solo in the process
00:00:45and then the swan tawn by Jacob
00:00:47but that was a great call Wade
00:00:49he did completely rotate
00:00:50landed on his belly, it allowed him to pop up
00:00:53Solo thought he dropped him on his head, so did I
00:00:55well that's it, on the head, on the back of the neck
00:00:57that is the aim of the German suplex
00:00:59but with Jacob Fatou
00:01:02you cannot take your eye off it for a second
00:01:05just a uber athlete
00:01:07freak in the ring
00:01:10all gas, no brakes
00:01:13all gas, no brakes
00:01:17Jacob's motto, not the all gas, no brains
00:01:20that Solo throws around
00:01:21Jacob Fatou may well be completely unbreakable
00:01:25certainly unyielding
00:01:29for hell, hold on
00:01:30JC Mateo
00:01:32I was wondering when he was gonna wander out here
00:01:34Solo, Sokoa's running, buddy
00:01:36and now who the hell is out here
00:01:38somebody just dropped Jacob Fatou
00:01:41and look who's back
00:01:42time to Loa
00:01:43he's been out of action since War Games and Survivor Series
00:01:48and Loa is here
00:01:49with that spinning neck breaker
00:01:50to Jacob Fatou
00:01:52and he may have just handed the championship
00:01:54to Solo Sokoa
00:01:55Kondo Loa is back
00:01:57off the distraction by JC Mateo
00:02:01Kondo

00:02:13that was supposed to be the fix
00:02:16yeah, the fix was in all right
00:02:18but the disbelief on the face of Solo Sokoa
00:02:22tells the story
00:02:23the referee missed the entire thing
00:02:25dealing with JC Mateo
00:02:27again, a master plan from Solo

00:13:04SummerSlam
00:13:06down
00:13:36Introducing first, from Osaka, Japan, the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka!
00:13:56The Empress who wants to become Queen, Asuka, who returned to action a couple of weeks
00:14:05ago after missing 13 months with a knee injury.
00:14:09In a recent interview, Asuka talked about the recovery process.
00:14:12She said it wasn't easy.
00:14:14There were many tough days, but the voice of the WWE fans begging her to return are what
00:14:19kept her going.
00:14:20She never stopped.
00:14:21She matched her intensity in the training room to rehab, to get ready.
00:14:27And Wade, she says she's better than ever, and this is just the beginning.
00:14:31Well, she certainly has been better than ever on this run in the tournament so far.
00:14:36I think blowing everyone's minds at the caliber of performances she's put in.
00:14:42The knee clearly not an issue now.
00:14:44I do question the endurance, however, given that we're in such a hot, humid atmosphere,
00:14:50even though we're inside here, in Riyadh, I'm sweating pockets, and that may be a talent
00:14:56factor.
00:14:56Even though we're inside here, in Riyadh, I'm sweating pockets, and that may be a talent
00:15:01factor for a competitor who has barely competed in over 400 days.
00:15:07A storm is coming.
00:15:37And her opponent, from Farrow Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill!
00:15:57Jade Cargill has never competed for a singles championship in WWE.
00:16:06There's an opportunity to change that if she wins tonight.
00:16:10She would go on to SummerSlam to take on the WWE Women's Champion.
00:16:15If Asuka wins, she would headline SummerSlam against the Women's World Champion.
00:16:21It was back in May of 2024, last year, in Backlash, Lyon, France.
00:16:31With Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair took the tag team titles for the Kabuki Warriors, Kyrie
00:16:36Stane and Asuka.
00:16:37And it was on that night that Asuka injured her knee.
00:16:39That would cost her 13 months of action.
00:16:42Wade, will that come to play?
00:16:43Will that be in her head here tonight?
00:16:45Yeah, I don't think it will.
00:16:47Sometimes you have that kind of speck that hanging over you when a competitor has injured
00:16:51you, and you either fear them doing it again, or you really want to get vengeance.
00:16:56It was a fairly innocuous injury, the way it went down.
00:17:00It wasn't a targeted attack on the knee of Asuka.
00:17:02I don't think that will come into play in the side of Asuka whatsoever.
00:17:06First time ever one-on-one between these two women.
00:17:09In 2021, Zelina Vega won the Queen's crown.
00:17:17Last year, Nia Jax won the Queen of the Ring.
00:17:20She went on to SummerSlam to beat Bayley for the WWE Women's title, who will become the
00:17:26latest Queen of the Ring.
00:17:30Two highly respectful competitors, but it did come to blows.
00:17:33Last night on SmackDown, the thin veneer of civility was scratched off quickly, with Asuka
00:17:40getting the best of Jade last night.
00:17:42And Jade said on the Countdown Show, Asuka made a mistake, and it came to blows like that.
00:17:47So let's talk strategy.
00:17:49If you're Jade Cargill in this matchup, how do you match a woman who I believe is a first
00:17:53ballot Hall of Famer in Asuka?
00:17:55Well, clearly there's a massive disparity in resumes here.
00:17:58An experienced Jay Cargill, miles behind Asuka, but you've got to hope that power game that
00:18:05you're known for really neutralizes that disparity in the early goings.
00:18:09And Asuka looking to put Cargill away early.
00:18:12Asuka going to pull out every trick in the book here tonight.
00:18:15Cargill turning it around, and there's the power you talked about for the side slam.
00:18:20Cover, hook on the inside leg, and a kick out.
00:18:23It's really hard to find a weakness with regards to Jade Cargill.
00:18:26Occasionally, the temperament has been an issue.
00:18:29I know for a fact that Nia Jax has exploited that in the past, and got Jade Cargill to essentially
00:18:35get herself disqualified.
00:18:37Oh, nice.
00:18:38Dragon screw on the rope by Asuka, who's taken over.
00:18:41Now, you talk about a weakness in Cargill.
00:18:43One of the things I noticed in her semi-final matchup against Roxanne Perez was the fact that
00:18:48she got frustrated, but Roxanne Perez had her out of her game, and she got extremely frustrated
00:18:53and almost lost her.
00:18:55And now, the knee comes into play.
00:18:56And that's often an issue when the competitors are bigger and stronger than most of the roster.
00:19:02When things aren't going their way, it's not what they're used to.
00:19:05They're supposed to be dominant.
00:19:07They're supposed to be able to control proceedings, and sometimes they lose their rank when that
00:19:12doesn't happen.
00:19:13And this is a tremendous strategy.
00:19:15Covered out by Asuka, kicked out, to take out the leg of Cargill and make it an even
00:19:20playing field.
00:19:20Take the power game away.
00:19:22And even the way that went down, Asuka really baited Cargill into making a mistake in the
00:19:27early goings, realizing, look, the bigger, powerful superstar, Jade Cargill, if I take
00:19:32that knee out, suddenly we're a lot more equal in terms of the power game.
00:19:36Asuka, a four-time world champion.
00:19:39Oh, jeez.
00:19:40As NXT Women's Champion, she held it a record 510 days.
00:19:46Four-time tag champ.
00:19:48She's won the Money in the Bank, the Royal Rumble, and who won't forget the first 914
00:19:53days she was at NXT and in WWE, Wade, she was undefeated.
00:19:57She's saying she's won pretty much everything apart from the Queen of the Ring.
00:20:01And that's how you want to change.
00:20:02Yeah, got an E-bar on Jade Cargill, the damaged knee.
00:20:07Asuka now.
00:20:09Not a single thing has gone right for Jade Cargill right from the beginning.
00:20:13That is how good the strategy of Asuka has been.
00:20:16Yeah, but Jade Cargill looking to make it back to her feet.
00:20:19Shoulders down momentarily.
00:20:21And a great move.
00:20:22There's the power of Cargill coming into play.
00:20:25Dumping Asuka on the back of her head.
00:20:27It's a deadly wheelbarrow German suplex.
00:20:30And you're right, the power game has finally got a bit of breathing room here for Cargill.
00:20:36We're going to learn a lot about Jade Cargill in this match, Wade.
00:20:40The fact that she's got a damage D already after the attack by Asuka.
00:20:44Yeah, what's been the knock on Jade Cargill in a run in WWE so far
00:20:48it's that she's been tagging with Bianca Belair.
00:20:52And trust me, pretty much anyone can win a tag title with Bianca Belair.
00:20:57But we saw Cargill step up huge at WrestleMania on her own against former friend Naomi.
00:21:04And that's the kind of confidence building win that has propelled Cargill to this final.
00:21:10And now the fallaway slam by Jade Cargill in a kip up.
00:21:15Sure, how wise that was on a bad knee, but she pulled it off.
00:21:18Now Asuka back to her feet and a kick drops Asuka.
00:21:26That was a bullseye, using full extension of those long limbs.
00:21:30Come on!
00:21:31Look at Al Power Asuka again with a chokeslam, dropping her in the middle of the ring.
00:21:38Cover now for the win.
00:21:40Asuka just got a shoulder up barely.
00:21:43You've got to give Jade Cargill all the credit in the world.
00:21:46She gets better every single time we see her.
00:21:49Clearly putting in the hard hours behind the scenes.
00:21:51Nailing a chokeslam here and Asuka, who dominated the first five minutes of this, looks like a changed woman now, though.
00:21:59Of course, by your back.
00:22:01Yeah, no.
00:22:01Jade Cargill, one of her toughest matches to date.
00:22:05Tough matchup when it comes to Asuka.
00:22:07So well-skilled in everything.
00:22:11Both women down.
00:22:13Finals of the Queen of the Ring.
00:22:15Sold out tonight.
00:22:16The Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
00:22:19It's been an incredible couple of days as we prepare for the Royal Rumble here in Riyadh.
00:22:26First part of 2026.
00:22:29Both women struggling at this point.
00:22:31They're both taken and given massive, massive shots.
00:22:36The gleam of that crown has to be driving these two on.
00:22:40Jade Cargill beginning to get the upper hand now, delivering the right hand to the blows.
00:22:49Asuka, though, here's that backhand and a kick to the midsection.
00:22:52And here comes Asuka.
00:22:53This right here is classic Asuka.
00:22:55Yeah, nine times out of ten, you always back the powerhouse in a strike exchange.
00:22:59Asuka's different, though.
00:23:00An absolute expert in the strike game.
00:23:04And if Jade Cargill didn't know, well, now she does.
00:23:07Yeah, Asuka a joy to watch.
00:23:08And now she's going to go up top.
00:23:10She's got Cargill on the ropes and she knows it.
00:23:12Asuka.
00:23:13Missile block kick.
00:23:14Down goes Cargill.
00:23:15Asuka will go for the cover here and try to win the tournament.
00:23:19Jade kicks out.
00:23:20Well, you talked a few moments ago about how we're going to learn a lot about Jade Cargill.
00:23:25Now it is learning time because Cargill really is going to have to dig deep and come up with some answers here.
00:23:31She's on the ropes.
00:23:33She's in big trouble.
00:23:35And Asuka smells victory.
00:23:40Asuka have planned here.
00:23:49Oh, Jade Cargill, though.
00:23:51No standing switch by Jade.
00:23:52Power now.
00:23:53Asuka rolls through.
00:23:54Shoulders down.
00:23:55Is it enough?
00:23:55Not quite.
00:23:56Asuka's doing a great job of just confusing Cargill.
00:23:59But wait up.
00:24:00And again, the power of Cargill overwhelming Asuka.
00:24:04Sit-out powerbomb.
00:24:06Asuka gets out at two.
00:24:07Just one moment of mental clarity from Jade Cargill turns the tie.
00:24:13Once again, blocking that knee strike.
00:24:16Powering up her opponent.
00:24:18Driving her down with that sit-out powerbomb that almost, almost gets the crown in the hands of Jade Cargill.
00:24:25Referee, Daphne LaShawn.
00:24:27Oh!
00:24:27Match of armbar now by Asuka.
00:24:29Armbar now by Asuka, center of the ring.
00:24:31And that arm is fully extended.
00:24:33Now desperately trying to block.
00:24:37Just about hugging those arms.
00:24:39How she powered her.
00:24:40Oh, God.
00:24:41Asuka back into the full armbar now on Jade.
00:24:45And a massive hyperextension.
00:24:47Cargill, though.
00:24:48Turns it into a pinning combination.
00:24:50And a kick-out.
00:24:52There's a big boot by Jade, Florian Asuka.
00:24:56And now Cargill.
00:24:58Went off.
00:24:59Asuka, though.
00:25:01Kid was going for Jade and Asuka now.
00:25:03Again.
00:25:03Looking for the Asuka lock.
00:25:05Looking for the Asuka lock on Cargill.
00:25:07Long way from the ropes now in extreme agony.
00:25:11Cargill in trouble.
00:25:14Asuka with the Asuka lock in.
00:25:16Cargill trying to fight out of it.
00:25:17Again, trying to turn it into a pinning combination.
00:25:20And she goes again and again.
00:25:21Another great counter.
00:25:22That was so resourceful from Cargill.
00:25:25But she took the back to South for the old slot that followed.
00:25:32And Asuka could be closing in.
00:25:37Empress impact, but caught.
00:25:39Intercepted by Cargill.
00:25:41Great counter.
00:25:42Down goes Asuka.
00:25:44Cover.
00:25:46Of Jade and.
00:25:47Jade Cargill wins.
00:25:50Queen of the ring.
00:25:58Well, Jade Cargill is your queen of the ring.
00:26:03But she had to crawl through hell to get there.
00:26:06Absolutely spent.
00:26:08Absolutely spent.
00:26:10Exhausted.
00:26:11But walk out the pain.
00:26:13You are the queen of WWE, Jade.
00:26:17The biggest win of Jade Cargill's singles career here in WWE thus far.
00:26:24Not only is she queen of the ring, she's going to SummerSlam.
00:26:28Asuka had the Asuka lock in.
00:26:30But another great counter by Jade.
00:26:31Very impressive was Jade with her counters tonight.
00:26:34Yeah, clearly been working on reversals and escape plans.
00:26:38But this was the moment.
00:26:40I thought it was game over.
00:26:41Asuka immediately pouncing.
00:26:43Going in for that Empress impact.
00:26:45But the power of Cargill was too much.
00:26:48Honked Asuka.
00:26:49The Empress of Tomorrow goes down.
00:26:52Victory in sight.
00:26:54No mistakes from here for Cargill.
00:26:57General managers Pierce and Elvis in the ring to present Jade Cargill with the queen of the ring crown.
00:27:02Here's your winner and the new queen of the ring, Jade Cargill!
00:27:17As Jade celebrates, let's head up to Byron Saxton.
00:27:22Jade, you are now headed to SummerSlam in a match for the WWE Women's Championship.
00:27:29How do you feel?
00:27:30You know, Byron, when I first entered this tournament, it felt like the world was on my shoulders.
00:27:40But you know what?
00:27:42For the people out there who are down themselves, praise yourself because you are fighting through the booze.
00:27:52Don't let them tell you who you are.
00:27:55You showed them.
00:27:58And the grind don't stop.
00:28:01A storm is coming for SummerSlam.
00:28:08Well, it remains to be seen who will be the WWE Women's Champion at SummerSlam.
00:28:13Could be Tiffany Stratton.
00:28:15Could be Naomi, who's missed money in the bank.
00:28:18But Jade Cargill has an opportunity.
00:28:21MetLife Stadium in New Jersey the first weekend of August.
00:28:24To win her first singles championship in WWE.

00:31:00But coming up on Raw, World Tag Team Championship match, the Judgment Day.
00:31:06Balor and McDonough, they take on your boys in the new day.
00:31:11Well, here's a match that you should be looking forward to.
00:31:13You know both of these men extremely well.
00:31:15Yes, I do.
00:31:16A couple of my old buddies, I'll use that term loosely, from the League of Nations that we don't like talking about these days.
00:31:23But this is going to be a war.
00:31:25We might get ourselves a banger on Monday as Sheamus goes head-to-head with a Bulgarian group, Rusev.
00:31:32Well, this is going to be a banger as well, ladies and gentlemen.
00:31:36Two weeks from tonight, Goldberg says his final match.
00:31:41Well, perhaps, unless he wins the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:31:45It remains to be seen, but it's Saturday Night's Man Event.
00:31:47Ring General Gundler versus Goldberg live on NBC and Peacock.
00:31:54I want to remind everyone that immediately following Night of Champions, it's the Night of Champions post-show.
00:32:03Solo Sokoa, Rhea Ripley, Triple H, among others.
00:32:05Wade Barrett will be making a guest appearance on the post-show.
00:32:09And we'll want to remind everyone about the Night of Champions recap podcast, which is available tonight and tomorrow morning.
00:32:17Or are these two legends the last time to face each other is right now.
00:32:23From pipe bombs of old and new to world life and punk life.
00:32:27The shared history between these two is historic.
00:32:30The best in the world versus the greatest of all time is next.
00:32:43Yin and Yang.
00:32:45Two entities in constant flux and transformation.
00:32:50Totally interdependent to exist.
00:32:54John Cena and CM Punk.
00:32:59Yin and Yang.
00:33:01John Cena, the clean-cut, untouchable chosen one.
00:33:05If you want some, come get some!
00:33:10A decorated champion.
00:33:11A valiant in-ring competitor and above all else, a man of the people.
00:33:19And after more than two decades in the spotlight, an icon who once set the standard of hustle, loyalty, and respect.
00:33:31CM Punk.
00:33:32The loud, defiant, voice of the voiceless.
00:33:36The rebel who was never meant to be king.
00:33:40I've been the best ever since day one.
00:33:42There's one thing you're better at than I am, John.
00:33:45And that's kissing ass.
00:33:48His desire to sit alone atop the summit would lead to bitterness and resentment.
00:33:53Self-destruction and banishment.
00:33:56But time.
00:33:58Time changes everything.
00:33:59Yin becomes Yang.
00:34:05Yang becomes Yin.
00:34:06Contrasting dualities.
00:34:08Destined to be bound.
00:34:11And the battle in which these two have been endlessly engaged finds itself with new motivation.
00:34:18That title has corrupted you.
00:34:21I've been the victim of an abusive relationship.
00:34:25For 25 years.
00:34:26You sit on your ass and watch me be great.
00:34:33Instead of a graceful exit, John Cena, detached and disillusioned, has vowed to ruin wrestling for everyone.
00:34:42While CM Punk has returned from exile, a beacon of hope and change.
00:34:47A new face for the company he once vowed to burn down.
00:34:52The balance has shifted.
00:34:58Light becomes shadow.
00:35:00Shadow now stands in the sun.
00:35:04I have shut your mouth and beaten your best.
00:35:08You can't beat me when I'm at my best.
00:35:12You never could.
00:35:13I won the title.
00:35:15I left with the title.
00:35:17You're trying to follow in my footsteps.
00:35:19I hate this idea that you're the best in the world.
00:35:24You're not.
00:35:25I'm the greatest of all time.
00:35:29The truth is, Punk, I am jealous that you have conned these people that you're the best in the world.
00:35:36Remember who gave you the stage for your pipe bomb, pal?
00:35:41What have you done with it since then, huh?
00:35:45The greatest of all time.
00:35:47Knight of Champions.
00:35:48Balls in your court, hero.
00:35:51The best in the world.
00:35:53You can't see me.
00:35:55I see through you.
00:35:58Positioned once again upon opposing shores.
00:36:01For a final reckoning.
00:36:03Sentence.
00:36:06True.
00:36:07As you go.
00:36:09I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:42:59The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:43:13and is for the undisputed WWE Championship.
00:43:22Yeah! Introducing first, the challenger from Chicago, Illinois.
00:43:34He weighed in at 218 pounds.
00:43:42The best in the world, C.M. Paul!
00:43:51His opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds.
00:44:16He is the greatest of all time!
00:44:23The never seen 17, gracing Riyadh with his presence one last time!
00:44:36He is the last real champion!
00:44:43He is the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
00:44:58The final time in Riyadh, the final time at Night of Champions, his retirement tour more than half over.
00:45:13And tonight, for the final time, the best in the world, C.M. Paul!
00:45:20The greatest of all time, John Cena, for the undisputed WWE Championship!
00:45:28The renewal, in my mind, of one of the greatest rivalries in the history of WWE.
00:45:37They are 6-6 with a draw in singles matchups against one another over the years.
00:45:43CM Punk! CM Punk with the biggest win of his career when he beat John Cena for the championship in 2011.
00:45:50But SummerSlam of that year, the last time Punk defeated Cena.
00:45:56first time in nearly 13 years these two have done battle with a championship on the line
00:46:16side headlock by cena as we start things off in this matchup keys to the match for cena wait
00:46:21these for the match for cena is the simply has to outclass the best of all time in CM Punk who per the eye test is in the best shape of his life that is a tall tall task and John Boyd better figure something out real fast here
00:46:39again an electric sold-out crowd tonight goosebumps inducing and Cena and Punk haven't done anything yet
00:46:57people are witnessing history 14 years in the making with the roles completely reversed CM Punk in 2011 the man to have Scott with the WWE Championship
00:47:12Cena's stated goal this time around to do the same at the end of the retirement tour
00:47:19side headlock now by Punk keys to Punk winning the championship well Punk needs to simply lock in block out the noise focus exclusively on why he really came back to WWE
00:47:31there's been a ton of talk about why even from himself he is a natural born competitor a natural born winner and he sees his place exclusively at the top of the mountain something's never changed
00:47:43Punk looking for a sixth world championship been an intercontinental champion a tag team champion only man in history with back to back money in the banks
00:47:55of course John Cena record-setting 17 time world champion Randy Orton the only active performer that is still close at 14 nice side headlock takedown and into a
00:48:08into a lake scissors by Cena tell you something I found fascinating a couple of weeks ago
00:48:14when John Cena hit his version of a pipe bomb promo it really felt like he'd been waiting 14 years to get that off his chest
00:48:21did not appreciate being the victim in the summer of Punk and he sees tonight I suspect as his moment for vengeance
00:48:30remember
00:48:36John Cena would win the elimination chamber during the opportunity
00:48:42at WrestleMania and Cody Rhodes he
00:48:45beat CM Punk in the chamber after a stomp by Seth Rollins
00:48:49that was the beginning of the clues that John Cena perhaps was going to do everything he needed to do to win the championship
00:48:56and then of course later on in the night the alignment with the Rock he would go on a controversial manner to win the championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania
00:49:06controversy has been a part of everything John Cena has done since Toronto in March
00:49:12yeah I think John Cena when he returned to WWE came back perhaps with the best of intentions
00:49:18but realized maybe over the course of time he'd lost a stat and if he really wanted to achieve his goals here
00:49:25and become that record-breaking 17 time world champ he needed to find some shortcuts he needed to become a different human being
00:49:34and boy oh boy has he done so
00:49:36yeah there's no doubt he's a different human being as is that man CM Punk
00:49:46I cannot overemphasize the amount of passion that these WWE fans here in Riyadh have shown us not only tonight but last night at Friday Night SmackDown
00:49:54like a Champions League final atmosphere here in Riyadh
00:50:02go this is a football stadium and yeah I said football not soccer Michael Cole
00:50:06I said football at the top of the show
00:50:08incredibly impressive there
00:50:10you're a reformed Cena fanboy and a reformed football fanboy
00:50:14big right hand by Cena listen I've made no bones about it I believe John Cena is the greatest of all time and I've laid out my arguments why on a number of occasions I just don't know what you're saying
00:50:22I don't know what you're saying
00:50:24I don't know what you're saying
00:50:26especially in his last year at WWE
00:50:28he's taken everything away from the fans
00:50:30he's taken away the you can't see me
00:50:32and the hustle loyalty and respect
00:50:34not allowing them to cheer what they want to cheer
00:50:36at John's final time here
00:50:38in WWE
00:50:40and I think he's robbed the fans of that
00:50:42well Adam perhaps bought that argument
00:50:44six months ago but when you soil
00:50:46your legacy like John Cena has
00:50:48I don't know how
00:50:50into a cover
00:50:52you can call that guy the greatest of all time
00:50:54anymore
00:50:58there was once a man who
00:51:00here's a cover who is a
00:51:02many believe is the greatest of all time
00:51:04who just happened to be the dirtiest
00:51:06player in the game
00:51:08so I don't think you can necessarily
00:51:10talk about what's personal actions
00:51:12about the greatest
00:51:20Cena with a shoulder tackle
00:51:24and puck though
00:51:26looking for the GTS and
00:51:28Cena just got out of harm's way
00:51:30and John Cena knew it was that close
00:51:32running away like a scalded cat
00:51:34and who can blame him
00:51:36we know how devastating that GTS is
00:51:38Cena's tasted it enough in the past
00:51:40and I'll give Cena credit there
00:51:42a real clean turn of heels there
00:51:44to get out of trouble
00:51:46and that's classic punk
00:51:48and that's classic punk
00:51:52mind games
00:51:54I don't sweat you John
00:51:56what a classic punk
00:51:58but punk really is a career long
00:52:00antagonist
00:52:02who is now tasked with taking down
00:52:042025's ultimate villain
00:52:06let's make no mistake about it
00:52:08punk is still an antagonist
00:52:10he's still got that attitude
00:52:12he's got that mentality
00:52:14oh look at Cena trying to power punk up
00:52:18what's punk trying to do here
00:52:20awkward situation for both these men
00:52:22Cena's got him in the AA position
00:52:24at least momentarily
00:52:26punk will roll up from behind
00:52:28shoulders down and a kick out
00:52:30Cena might have lost in speed
00:52:32oh he certainly hasn't lost in power
00:52:34John Cena still throwing around
00:52:36massive weights up
00:52:38hard knocks south his gym
00:52:40in Tampa Florida
00:52:42but just beaten to the punch on that one
00:52:44by CM Punk
00:52:51and punk to the side
00:52:52Russian legs
00:52:53he floats right into the cover
00:52:55and forces John to get the shoulder up
00:52:57punk knew he wasn't beating John there
00:52:59that was just to say hey
00:53:01I got your number
00:53:02yeah but I do think the longer this match goes on
00:53:05the more it benefits CM Punk
00:53:07I think CM Punk is shaking off a massive amount of ring rust
00:53:11since coming back to WWL
00:53:13it's highly critical of him
00:53:15but that epic rivalry
00:53:17with Drew McIntyre last year
00:53:19has really taken punk to levels I haven't seen from him before
00:53:23yeah there's no doubt I agree with you totally on that point
00:53:27punk again now
00:53:29oh Cena
00:53:30oh Cena
00:53:31I look like punk was going
00:53:32punk doing here
00:53:33a domino stretch perhaps
00:53:34go for this modified octopus hole
00:53:36maybe a page out of AJ Lee's playbook
00:53:40oh indeed
00:53:41as a
00:53:42punk delivered a couple elbows
00:53:44Cena now looking to power him up
00:53:46and down goes punk
00:53:48nice takedown by John
00:53:49into the cover
00:53:50and punk it won
00:53:51another tweak something in the side of John Cena there though interestingly enough
00:53:58brief pause for Cena but now back on the attack
00:54:06is this the pace you expected
00:54:08from John Cena absolutely
00:54:10this is what we've seen from him since returning
00:54:12this is historically the John Cena pace and when John Cena controls the pace of matches
00:54:19does things at this speed methodically he tends to win
00:54:25Cena with a kick right to the face that caught punk good punks down
00:54:29and if you can pick up the pace against John Cena you've got a much better chance but
00:54:35the volume and the power of those strikes just knocks the stuffing out of opponents
00:54:41so they quite simply cannot pick the speed up
00:54:44referee Dan Angler checking on punk again
00:54:46that was a
00:54:47a flush kick by Cena right to the face
00:54:54John with a shoulder tackle
00:54:56Vincent Cena here
00:55:02and will he give the WWE fans what they want
00:55:07Cena's not even breathing heavily
00:55:11and he does with a five knuckle shuffle
00:55:18and now measuring punk for the AA
00:55:22the attitude adjustment
00:55:24punk slips behind
00:55:25and punk caught him with a heel kick
00:55:27Cena back to his feet
00:55:29punk dips underneath
00:55:30nice neck breaker by punk
00:55:31and get a little classic CM punk in return
00:55:34we're getting the greatest hits tonight
00:55:36the running knee by punk
00:55:39caught Cena flush on the jaw
00:55:41got the bridge of the nose too
00:55:43Cena looking like a suplex dummy now
00:55:46and punk gonna climb to the top rope
00:55:51Cena's down in trouble
00:55:53oh yeah
00:56:04paying homage to the macho man
00:56:07flying elbow by punk
00:56:08and he says it's time to go night night
00:56:11John
00:56:12absolute bullseye
00:56:14look at the GTS to go to sleep
00:56:19to win the championship
00:56:21oh got caught
00:56:23Cena picked him out of the air
00:56:25looking for the STF
00:56:27and locked in a turn of speed at the right moment
00:56:32from
00:56:33John Cena
00:56:34John Cena
00:56:35just when it was crucial
00:56:37now punk
00:56:38you gotta wonder will he tap out
00:56:40a long way from the bottom rope
00:56:42I don't know if CM Punk has it in him to tap out
00:56:46maybe a pass out if anything
00:56:48and punk now gonna try to turn it around
00:56:50into an anaconda vice
00:56:52on John Cena
00:56:54shows the brilliance of CM Punk while in agony
00:56:57while in dire straits
00:56:59submission now applied to Cena
00:57:01Cena's in trouble
00:57:02if he tapped
00:57:03punk wins the title
00:57:04shoulders down
00:57:05that'll force a break
00:57:06oh the brains just never stop working
00:57:09uh oh Cena
00:57:11attitude adjustment
00:57:12AA
00:57:13for the win
00:57:14to retain
00:57:15kick out by punk at two
00:57:19oh this is incredible
00:57:20this is why these are two of the greatest in history
00:57:23perfectly executed elbow drop
00:57:27and this looked like it was gonna be good night
00:57:29but
00:57:30after the GTS
00:57:31GTS
00:57:33was avoided
00:57:34an AA from Cena
00:57:36and a late
00:57:37late
00:57:38late kick out from punk
00:57:40who is hurting in a bad way now
00:57:43yeah Cena you saw the look on his face
00:57:45he smells blood
00:57:48Cena with punk up again
00:57:49looking for another attitude adjustment
00:57:50punk though will land on his feet
00:57:51kick right to the midsection
00:57:52oh and he plants Cena
00:57:54with a DDT
00:57:56yeah punk is hurting bad here
00:57:57punk is hurting bad here
00:57:58I don't know if he's gonna be able to follow this up
00:58:00he's gonna try something though
00:58:04you know what he's gonna try wave
00:58:06oh yeah
00:58:07punk gonna turn the tables on Cena
00:58:10now it's Cena in trouble
00:58:12adding insult to injury
00:58:14can you imagine if Cena taps to his own move
00:58:18and Cena trying to drag himself
00:58:20get the hand on the rope and force a break here
00:58:22Cena trying to hang on
00:58:24does he have enough left
00:58:25punk's got it stitched in good
00:58:27and now the break will happen
00:58:29punk had those hands in the perfect spot
00:58:31kind of blocking the vision
00:58:33of John Cena
00:58:34which is why it took about five seconds to actually grab that rope
00:58:37that's why a punk
00:58:40took almost the full five seconds to break
00:58:42to continue the damage to Cena
00:58:45Cena wilting in the corner
00:58:46propped up by the turnbuckles
00:58:48and if punk can move fast here
00:58:50another running knee
00:58:51caught John flush again
00:58:53and now there's the
00:58:54went for the bulldog
00:58:55Cena able to block
00:58:56and John now
00:58:58plants punk's center of the ring
00:59:00and punk with a kick
00:59:11and that was punk's opportunity
00:59:16punk dips underneath
00:59:17went for the neck breaker
00:59:19Cena with punk a pop
00:59:20Cena again with an AA
00:59:22attitude adjustment again
00:59:24hooks the outside leg
00:59:25punk able to kick out
00:59:30and this just has to crush
00:59:33the spirit
00:59:34of John Cena
00:59:36reversal after reversal
00:59:37after reversal
00:59:38I know you better
00:59:39than you know yourself
00:59:41and boom
00:59:42this one's over punk

00:59:5017 time

00:59:54in front of a sellout crowd
00:59:56at night of champions
00:59:58the kingdom arena
01:00:00that is a look of
01:00:05panic on the eyes
01:00:06of John Cena
01:00:07resilient
01:00:08it may be
01:00:09trying something
01:00:10but he thought
01:00:11he'd be home and dry
01:00:12at this point
01:00:20now punk placed up
01:00:21on the top rope
01:00:23both of these men
01:00:24exhaustion setting in
01:00:26I cannot imagine going
01:00:29through what they've been through
01:00:31and it might be about to get worse
01:00:32for CM Punk
01:00:33yeah two
01:00:34regular attitude adjustments
01:00:35didn't work
01:00:36so Cena going for a big one
01:00:37but punk able to block

01:01:38done
01:01:39I don't know if the cogs
01:01:40are turning in his mind
01:01:42but John Cena
01:01:43is fully aware
01:01:46and that is a look
01:01:47of resigned failure
01:01:49for me
01:01:51John has his eyes
01:01:52trained on the
01:01:54WWE Championship

01:02:20this version of John Cena
01:02:22well the WWE fans said
01:02:28no
01:02:29John Cena blinds them
01:02:31maybe he finally listened

01:02:41Cena kicks it too
01:02:43well I am baffled
01:02:45I am perplexed
01:02:47John Cena had the option
01:02:49to go cheap as hell
01:02:51getting some disqualified
01:02:53with a championship shot
01:02:56decline
01:02:58and then kicks out of a GTS
01:03:00well maybe the fans
01:03:01are starting to get to him
01:03:04for the most part
01:03:05it's been overwhelming love
01:03:06for Cena
01:03:07on this retirement tour
01:03:08despite his actions
01:03:10maybe he allowed the fans
01:03:11to get to him there
01:03:12I don't know if I'm buying
01:03:13that explanation after what
01:03:15I've started to get to him
01:03:17for the most part
01:03:18it's been overwhelming love
01:03:19for Cena
01:03:20on this retirement tour
01:03:21despite his actions
01:03:23maybe he allowed the fans
01:03:24to get to him there
01:03:25I don't know if I'm buying
01:03:26that explanation
01:03:27after what I've seen
01:03:28over the past few months
01:03:29from John Cena
01:03:31maybe he's just
01:03:32at his bow rung
01:03:33and is making bad decisions
01:03:35well he suffered the
01:03:36bell ringing
01:03:37after he dropped the title
01:03:38out of the ring
01:03:39and now a
01:03:44Punk and Cena
01:03:45throwing rights
01:03:46and paymakers
01:03:47at each other
01:03:48Punk went for the upper hand
01:04:04Cena ducks underneath
01:04:05another shoulder tackle
01:04:06by John
01:04:08Cena went...
01:04:09Oh no!
01:04:10Cena inadvertently just
01:04:11blasted the referee
01:04:12Dan Engler
01:04:13seeing Punk delivers a GTS
01:04:15but there's no official
01:04:16Engler was knocked out of the ring
01:04:18with a shoulder tackle
01:04:19Punk has the championship won
01:04:22but there's no official here
01:04:23to count it
01:04:24well two GTSs in two minutes
01:04:28absolutely should have got the job done
01:04:31Dan Engler referee
01:04:33inadvertently dropped
01:04:35down and out
01:04:38yeah Punk didn't see what happened
01:04:40because he ducked out of the way
01:04:41of the tackle
01:04:42and then Cena just
01:04:43clocked the referee
01:04:44who's down and out now
01:04:45yeah that was a nasty landing
01:04:47the shoulder tackle
01:04:48was bad enough
01:04:49but the way the ref
01:04:50contorted through those ropes
01:04:52and hit the ground
01:04:53on the outside

01:10:16330 pound
01:10:20AA
01:10:21Well Cina and CEO Punk
01:10:27Have basically come to one another's aid here
01:10:30Well no
01:10:30They had no other choice
01:10:32They didn't want Rollins to cash in because then it would have been a triple threat
01:10:37Now it's back to one-on-one
01:10:39Punk and Cina had to help one another
01:10:42Whatever the master plan was by Paul Heyman
01:10:45It did not work
01:10:47What anie would have been a single-on-one
01:11:01Stop the power
01:11:02Stop the power
01:11:04Stop the power
01:11:06What anie are

01:11:10What a lithium advantage
01:11:13malone
01:11:14Lord
01:11:14How
01:11:15I told you something.
01:11:37Uh-oh.
01:11:41Wade, we've seen that look before, and Puck was ready.
01:11:44Puck was ready for a low blow.
01:11:47Rollins!
01:11:48Rollins clocking Puck with the briefcase, and that was stopped to CM Punk.
01:11:54It was like days of movement.
01:11:57The referee is back in.
01:11:59Cena, damn it, Cena, Cena steals it.
01:12:02Rollins is screwed.
01:12:03CM Punk.
01:12:06Here's your winner.
01:12:08And deal!
01:12:12Undisputed!
01:12:13WWE Champion!
01:12:17John Cena!
01:12:21Wade, for two years, it has been Seth Rollins' mission statement to continually screw CM Punk.
01:12:31He did it in Elimination Chamber.
01:12:33He did it again tonight at Night of Champions.
01:12:36We've got to take another look back at this after helping one another out, albeit briefly, the desperate, soulless version of John Cena return.
01:12:49The Punk was ready and waiting, about to connect with a GTS one.
01:12:54It looked like a replay of what we've seen historically from Seth Freak and Rollins, but Cena had other ideas.
01:13:03Yeah, John Cena dumping Rollins, taking advantage to once again retain the championship in controversial fashion.
01:13:11John Cena is still the undisputed WWE Champion as his quest to retire as Champion continues.
01:13:28Meanwhile, Seth Rollins has once again caught CM Punk.
01:13:34You stay on and watch this.
01:13:35You stay on and watch this.
