00:00A decade and a half of dominance.
00:22The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:28Introducing first, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds, John Cena!
00:48Arguably the biggest star in WWE history and, well, on his way to becoming the biggest star perhaps in Hollywood too.
00:57Proclaimed by Mr. McMahon as the Babe Ruth of WWE, there is nothing John Cena has not accomplished in sports entertainment.
01:08Michael, it's gotta feel like yesterday for you when you saw John Cena win his first WWE Championship by defeating JBL at WrestleMania 21.
01:18That was back in 2005.
01:20You didn't call me old?
01:21No, I'm just saying you're a historian.
01:22I'm just saying you're a historian.
01:24I'm just saying you're a historian.
01:29And his partner, from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
01:56The most decorated combat athlete in history.
02:03Brock Lesnar is hazardous to your health.
02:26I felt the wrath of Brock Lesnar.
02:48You don't want to get in the ring with this man.
02:52You don't want to get in the ring with him.
02:53You don't want to get in the cage with him.
02:55You don't want to eat breakfast with him, Brock Lesnar will hurt you wherever he's at.
03:00I'm trying not to make eye contact with him.
03:05The most decorated combat athlete in the world.
03:14The People's Champion.
03:17And their opponents first from Miami, Florida.
03:20Weighing in at 265 pounds.
03:24Weighing in at 265 pounds.
03:31Listen to this close.
03:36The most electrifying man in all of entertainment.
03:40Yeah, but this is where it all started for The Rock.
03:43This is home.
03:45Every time he steps in that ring, he remains the People's Champion.
03:49The most important possible match is to get in the world.
03:50And the most important match is to get in the world.
03:51And this is where we are.
03:52And this is where the people's champion.
04:23A much-deserved ovation for The Great One.
04:37An eight-time WWE Champion.
04:46The Rock's one of the biggest stars in the entire world, and Byron,
04:53you should keep his name out of your mouth, you jabroni.
05:00You should have got it!
05:07You should have got it!
05:09You should have got it!
05:11You should have got it!
05:13You should have got it!
05:15You should have got it!
05:17And his partner, from Pensacola, Florida,
05:25playing in at 265 pounds,
05:30Roman Reigns!
05:35It's Roman Reigns time, folks.
05:37Oh, great.
05:47Oh, great.
06:17Oh, great.
06:47Oh, great.
06:52Oh, great.
07:01Ladies and gentlemen, we're ready to get this ma-
07:08There it is!
07:11Bottom!
07:12He's already spending that winner's purse.
07:14The Rock just changed the momentum of this match.
07:17Very curious move to go for a pinfall at this point.
07:21Wow, what a display of heart and determination.
07:24Look out here.
07:25He's got something cooked.
07:26Look out!
07:27Big collision on the splash.
07:34Elbow drop!
07:36The piercing.
07:37John Cena's starting to take some deep breaths in there.
07:40It looks to me like his partner's itching to get in there.
07:44And now might be a good time to give him what he wants.
07:47Strike punch!
07:50Brock Lesnar tags in.
07:52Byron, grab your little dog and warn your aunt.
08:01Not looking good right now.
08:06Oh, the reversal by Brock Lesnar.
08:11Look at that power, Byron.
08:13Man, that is just careless intent.
08:17Look out!
08:19Exploder suplex.
08:20Uh-oh.
08:23Full mount.
08:25Hammer fist.
08:27Striking at will.
08:28The ref might want to stop this one.
08:36Fireman's carry.
08:40Up and in.
08:41Looks like a match ender.
08:43Oh, it's going to be hard for The Rock to come back now.
08:46You think that's going to keep The Rock down?
08:49Think again.
08:50Unfortunately, Corey, I can tell you firsthand
08:53that Brock Lesnar is among the most unpredictable superstars
08:56on the roster today.
08:57You just never know when he's going to snap.
09:00When you say firsthand, Cole,
09:03you're referring to one of the greatest moments in Raw history
09:07when Lesnar high-fives you in the middle of the ring.
09:10And I lost my shoe.
09:11Hooked him up.
09:17Wait a minute.
09:20Not for nothing, Corey,
09:27but you described Lesnar's 2015 attack on Michael
09:31as one of the greatest Raw moments
09:33is a little disrespectful.
09:34No, it's not, because you took over play-by-play,
09:37and at the end of that, I sounded like Gordon Soley.
09:39Yeah, and if you think that's disrespectful sex,
09:41then just wait till you hear how I describe it
09:43when Lesnar finally comes over here and destroys you.
09:47Don't wish that upon me.
09:48Now it's Lesnar making him pay.
09:58Oh, there!
09:59That was vicious.
10:01That hit the spot.
10:02He's finished.
10:03Now, Roman Reigns needs to capitalize on this opportunity.
10:07When taking on The Rock, Byron,
10:12there's no real success blueprint to follow.
10:14Am I right?
10:15Oh, you're absolutely right, Michael.
10:17Not a lot of people have beaten The Rock,
10:19so it's hard to come up with a good game plan.
10:21One thing that we do know will work, though,
10:24is neutralizing on a steel chair.
10:26Not that I condone it.
10:27Waist lock.
10:30No, no!
10:31Belly to belly!
10:32Somehow has to find a way to make it.
10:34The Rock going for the color.
10:38And Lesnar powers out.
10:40Yeah, seem to be just testing the waters a bit there.
10:45To Byron's point about neutralizing Rock with a steel chair,
10:49that is exactly how...
10:50Can he score the pin?
10:54His frustration has to be mounting as he kicks out yet again.
10:57The offense of The Rock is working well right now.
11:06Man, what a clothesline.
11:16Oh, the reversal by Brock Lesnar.
11:19In a tag team contest,
11:26a superstar and partner
11:28lock up against another duo.
11:30Unless there's a special stipulation
11:32after the match,
11:33the traditional rules of a singles match apply
11:35in terms of winning the match
11:37via pinfall, submission, countout,
11:39or disqualification.
11:40In a standard tag,
11:55this could be a cover.
11:56He's not done fighting yet.
12:01Just power it out.
12:10Simply said,
12:11this is going to be a great match.
12:13It's going to be interesting
12:22who comes up on top
12:24early on in this contest.
12:25Oh, man, man.
12:42Back elbow.
12:44I'm down a little stretch.
12:46It's locked in.
12:47This is a great way
12:48to wear down your opponent.
12:55Crashing down hard.
13:00Devastating kick.
13:01What does John Cena have to do
13:03at this point
13:03to stay in the match?
13:05Why he's still in the match
13:06at this point
13:06is beyond me, guys.
13:07Maybe he forgot
13:08it's a tag team match.
13:09I don't know.
13:10There's got to be some explanation.
13:13Covering clotheslines.
13:14What a clothesline.
13:25I don't think he wants
13:26to be in that corner, Byron.
13:28Yeah, but he's not moving, Michael.
13:33Larian.
13:34That hit catch
13:35from Roman Reigns.
13:36Oh, that is going to leave a mark.
13:37Needs to make it
13:38into the corner here, Corey.
13:39You're absolutely right, Cole.
13:41There's no way around it.
13:42A tag is vital
13:43at this point in the match.
13:45Almost just a little bit further.
13:47Come on now.
13:48Almost there.
13:49Don't give up now.
13:50Oh, and he gets to his corner.
13:52That's a game-taking
13:53ended here.
13:55One, two, three.
13:58They did it.
13:59They won the match.
14:05Here are your winners,
14:07The Rock and Roman Reigns.
14:10He earned every bit
14:11of that victory here tonight.
14:13It's performances like
14:14the one we just saw
14:15from these guys
14:16that makes tag team wrestling
14:17so exciting.
