08:40The final...
08:42championship the renewal in my mind of one of the greatest rivalries in the
08:51history of wwe they are six and six with a draw in singles matchups against one another
08:58over the years cm punk with the biggest win of his career when he beat john cena for the
09:04championship in 2011 but summer slammer that year the last time punk defeated cena
09:12first time in nearly 13 years these two have done battle with a championship on the line
09:32side headlock by cena as we start things off in this matchup keys to the match for cena wade
09:38leads to the match for cena is the simply has to outclass the best of all time in cm punk
09:45who per the eye test is in the best shape of his life that is a tall tall task and john boy
09:53better figure something out real fast here
09:56again an electric sold out crowd tonight goosebumps inducing and cena and punk haven't done anything
10:14yet people are witnessing history 14 years in the making with the roles completely reversed
10:23cm punk in 2011 the man to have scoff with the wwe championship cena's stated goal this time around
10:33to do the same at the end of the retirement tour side headlock now by punk keys to punk winning the
10:39championship well punk needs to simply lock in block out the noise focus exclusively on why he really
10:46came back to wwe there's been a ton of talk about why even from himself he is a natural born competitor
10:54a natural born winner and he sees his place exclusively at the top of the mountain something's never changed
11:01punk looking for a sixth world championship been an intercontinental champion a tag team champion only man in
11:08history with back-to-back money in the banks of course john cena record-setting 17 time world champion
11:18randy orton the only active performer that is still close at 14 nice side headlock takedown and into a
11:26leg scissors by cena tell you something i found fascinating a couple of weeks ago when john cena hit
11:32his version of his version of a pipe bomb promo it really felt like he'd been waiting 14 years to get
11:37that off his chest did not appreciate being the victim in the summer of punk and he sees tonight i suspect
11:45as his moment for vengeance
11:47remember uh john cena would win the elimination chamber to earn the opportunity
11:59at wrestlemania and cody rhodes he beats cm punk in the chamber after a stomp by seth wallens that was the
12:08beginning of the clues that john cena perhaps was going to do everything he needed to do to win the
12:13championship and then of course later on in the night the alignment with the rock he would go on
12:18a controversial manner to win the championship against cody rhodes at wrestlemania
12:23controversy has been a part of everything john cena has done since toronto in march yeah i think john
12:30cena when he returned to wwe came back perhaps with the best of intentions but realized maybe over the
12:38course of time he'd lost a stat and if he really wanted to achieve his goals here and become that
12:44record-breaking 17-time world jam he needed to find some shortcuts he needed to become a different
12:51human being and boy oh boy has he done so yeah there's no doubt he's a different human being as is that man
12:57i cannot overemphasize the amount of passion that these wwe fans here in riyadh have shown us not only tonight
13:11but last night at friday night smackdown
13:13like a champions league final atmosphere here in riyadh
13:20this is a football stadium here i said football not soccer michael cole
13:24i said football at the top of the show it's incredibly impressive
13:27you're a reformed cena fanboy and a reformed
13:31big right hand by cena listen i've made no bones about it i believe john cena is the greatest of all time
13:38and i've laid out my arguments why on a number of occasions i just don't like the attitude that cena's
13:42showing here especially in his last year in wwe he's taken everything away from the fans he's taken
13:48away the you can't see me and the hustle loyalty and respect not allowing them to cheer what they
13:53want to cheer at john's final time here in wwe and i think he's robbed the fans of that well adam
14:00perhaps bought that argument six months ago but when you soil your legacy like john cena has
14:06fisherman suplex into a cover you can call that guy the greatest of all time anymore
14:12there was once a man who here's a cover who is a many believe is the greatest of all time who just
14:21happened to be the dirtiest player in the game so i don't think you can necessarily uh talk about
14:27what's personal actions uh we're talking about the greatest
14:30cena with a shoulder tackle
14:39and punk though looking for the gts and cena just got out of harm's way and john cena knew
14:48it was that close running away like a scalded cat and who can blame him we know how devastating that
14:55gts is cena's tasted it enough in the past and i'll give cena credit there a real clean turn of heels
15:02there to get out of trouble and that's classic punk mind games i don't sweat you john
15:12classic punk but punk really is a career-long antagonist who is now tasked with taking down
15:212025's ultimate villain let's make no mistake about it punk is still an antagonist
15:27he's still got that attitude he's got that mentality
15:30oh look at cena trying to power punk up
15:34what's punk trying to do here awkward situation for both these men
15:40cena's got him in the a.a position at least momentarily
15:43punk the roll up from behind shoulders down and a kick out
15:46well cena might have lost in speed oh he certainly hasn't lost in power
15:51john cena still throwing around massive weights at hard knocks south his gym
15:57in tampa florida but just beaten to the punch on that one by cm punk
16:02and punk with a side rushing leg sweep floats right into the cover and forces john to get the
16:14shoulder up punk knew he wasn't beating john there that was just to say hey i got your number
16:19yeah but i do think the longer this match goes on the more it benefits cm punk i think cm punk has
16:26shaken up a massive amount of ring rust since coming back to ww i was highly critical of him
16:32but that epic rivalry with drew mcintyre last year has really taken punk to levels i haven't seen from
16:40him before yeah there's no doubt i agree with you totally on that point
16:44punk again now oh cena i look like punk was going punk doing here a domino stretch perhaps
16:51this modified octopus hole maybe a page out of aj lee's playbook oh indeed as a punk delivered
17:01a couple elbows cena now looking to power him up and down goes punk nice takedown by john into the
17:07cover and punk it won what a tweak something in the side of john cena there though interestingly enough
17:14brief pause for cena but now back on the attack
17:18is this the pace you expected from john cena absolutely this is what we've seen from him since
17:29returning this is historically the john cena pace and when john cena controls the pace of matches
17:36does things at this speed methodically he tends to win
17:41cena with a kick right to the face that caught punk good punk's down
17:46and if you can pick up the pace against john cena you've got a much better chance but
17:51the volume and the power of those strikes just knocks the stuffing out of opponents
17:58so they quite simply cannot pick the speed up
18:01referee dan anglo checking on punk again that was a flush kick by cena right to the face
18:06john with a shoulder tackle
18:13john with a shoulder tackle vincent cena here
18:15and will he give the wwe fans what they want
18:23cena's not even breathing heavily
18:26and he does with a five knuckle shuffle
18:36and now measuring punk for the a.a. the attitude adjustment punk slips behind
18:42and punk caught him with a heel kick
18:44cena back to his feet
18:46punk dips underneath
18:47nice neck breaker by punk
18:49now you get a little classic c.m. punk in return
18:52we're getting the greatest hits tonight
18:54the running knee by punk
18:56caught cena flush on the jaw
18:58they've got the bridge of the nose too
19:00cena looking like a suplex dummy now
19:04and punk gonna climb to the top rope cena's down in trouble
19:13oh yeah
19:21paying homage to the macho man
19:24flying elbow by punk
19:26and he says it's time to go night night john
19:29absolute bullseye
19:31look at the gts
19:36to go to sleep
19:37to win the championship
19:38oh got caught
19:41cena picked him out of the air
19:42looking for the stf
19:45and locked in
19:48a turn of speed at the right moment from
19:50john cena
19:52just when it was crucial
19:53now punk you gotta wonder will he tap out
19:56a long way from the bottom rope
19:59i don't know if c.m. punk has it in him to tap out
20:03yeah but how many
20:04pass out if anything
20:06and punk now gonna try to turn it around
20:07on anaconda vice
20:08on john cena
20:11shows the brilliance of c.m. punk while in agony
20:15while in dire straits
20:16submission now applied to cena
20:18cena's in trouble
20:19if he taps
20:20punk wins the title
20:21shoulders down
20:22that'll force a break
20:24oh the brains just never stop working
20:26uh-oh cena
20:27uh-oh cena
20:27attitude adjustment
20:29aa for the win
20:31to retain
20:32kick out by punk at two
20:34oh this is incredible
20:38this is why these are two of the greatest in history
20:40perfectly executed elbow drop
20:44and this looked like it was gonna be goodnight but
20:47after the gts
20:49was avoided
20:51an aa from cena
20:53and a late late late kick out from punk
20:56who is hurting in a bad way now
20:59yeah cena you saw the look on his face
21:03he smells blood
21:04cena with punk up again
21:06looking for another attitude adjustment
21:08punk though will land on his feet
21:09kick right to the midsection
21:10oh and he plants cena
21:11with a ddt
21:13yeah but punk is hurting bad here
21:15i don't know if he's gonna be able to follow this up
21:17he's gonna try something though
21:20you know what he's gonna try wade
21:23oh yeah
21:24punk gonna turn the tables on cena
21:27now it's cena in trouble
21:29adding insult to injury
21:31can you imagine if cena taps to his own move
21:34and cena trying to drag himself
21:37get the hand on the rope and force a break here
21:40cena trying to hang on
21:42does he have enough left
21:43punk's got it cinched in good
21:45and now the break will happen
21:46punk had those hands in the perfect spot
21:49kind of blocking the vision
21:50of john cena
21:52which is why it took about five seconds
21:53to actually grab that rope
21:55that's why a punk
21:56took almost the full five seconds to break
22:00to continue the damage to cena
22:01cena wilting in the corner
22:04propped up by the turnbuckles
22:06and if punk can move fast here
22:08another running knee
22:09caught john flush again
22:10and now there's the
22:11went for the bulldog
22:12cena able to block
22:13and john now
22:15plants punk's center of the ring
22:17and punk with a kick
22:27and it was punk's opportunity
22:30punk dips underneath
22:34went for the neck breaker
22:36cena with punk up top
22:37cena again with an a-a
22:39attitude adjustment again
22:41hooks the outside leg
22:43punk able to kick out
22:44and this just has to crush
22:50the spirit of john cena
22:53reversal after reversal
22:55after reversal
22:55i know you better than you know yourself
22:58and boom
22:59this one's over punk
23:01or is it
23:02not tonight
23:04not this way john
23:05now with the 17 time world champion
23:09john cena
23:10starts to get frustrated
23:12in front of a sellout crowd
23:14at night of champions
23:15kingdom arena
23:16that is a look of panic
23:23on the eyes of john cena
23:25resilient it may be
23:26trying something
23:27but he thought he'd be
23:29home and dry at this point
23:30now punk placed up on the top rope
23:39both of these men
23:42exhaustion setting in
23:44i cannot imagine going through
23:47what they've been through
23:49and it might be about to get worse
23:50for cm punk
23:51yeah two regular attitude adjustments
23:53didn't work
23:54so cena going for a big one
23:55but punk able to block
23:57and he needed to
23:58and now punk from the top rope
24:03cross body
24:04cena
24:04rolls through
24:06and still able to power punk up

24:56i don't know if the cogs
24:57are turning in his mind
24:59but john cena
25:01is fully aware
25:02and that is a look
25:05of resigned failure

34:12maybe
34:12he
34:13aw
34:14Uhm
34:15I told you something.
34:40Uh-oh.
34:41Wade, we've seen that look before, and Puck was ready.
34:47Puck was ready for a low blow.
34:50Rollins, Rollins talking Puck with the briefcase, and that was stomped to CM Punk.
34:57It was like Deja Booba.
35:00The referee is back in.
35:02Cena, damn it, Cena, Cena steals it.
35:05Rollins is screwed.
35:07CM Punk.
35:09Here is your winner.
35:11And still, undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.
35:25Wade, for two years, it has been Seth Rollins' mission statement to continually screw CM Punk.
35:34He did it in Elimination Chamber.
35:36He did it again tonight at Night of Champions.
35:40We're gonna take another look back at this after helping one another out, albeit briefly,
35:47the desperate, soulless version of John Cena return, but Punk was ready and waiting, about to connect with a GTS one.
35:58It looked like a replay of what we'd seen historically from Seth Freak and Rollins, but Cena had other ideas.
36:06And John Cena dumping Rollins, taking advantage to once again retain the championship in controversial fashion.
36:18John Cena is still the undisputed WWE Champion as his quest to retire.
36:27As champion continues.
36:32Meanwhile, Seth Rollins has once again caught CM Punk.
36:37You stay on and watch this.
36:39Now...
36:59Now...
