02:58Tonight, March Day Number 356.

03:03March day number 356 in the Universal Championship reign of the head of the table.

03:13Roman Reigns, flanked by his special counsel, Paul Heyman, his cousins, the Usos, the tag team champions.

03:22The bloodline is complete at SummerSlam.

03:3350,000 members of the WWE Universe acknowledging the head of the table.

03:46The man who's on a different level than everybody else on Earth right now.

03:54The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

03:57John Cena told me earlier today that he has very little to lose in this match.

04:06And all he has to do is pin Roman Reigns 1, 2, 3.

04:13Cena believes all the pressure is on Reigns tonight.

04:18He needs to be flawless to solidify his legacy.

04:23John Cena says, I just need to win.

04:26Roman just told his special counsel, Paul Heyman, to let the SmackDown Tag Team Champions know,

04:36we appreciate everything you're about.

04:39But Roman's coming out here alone to handle family business.

04:43Two superstars.

04:47Who have dominated WWE.

04:55John Cena would make his first appearance at this event, SummerSlam, in 2004.

05:01Ten years later, we would see the SummerSlam singles debut of that man, Roman Reigns.

05:10Roman Reigns!

05:12Although John Cena was here before Roman,

05:20The Roman backers say, John, your time is up.

05:26My time is now.

05:28This is Roman Reigns WWE.

05:31You know, we talk about Cena being the greatest of all time, but an argument can be made, Pat,

05:36that the last year has been one of the most dominant years in history of WWE.

05:44When you talk about Roman Reigns and the number of superstars,

05:47the names that he has knocked off in the last 356 days.

05:53He has sent Hall of Famers into retirement.

06:05Roman Reigns has beaten ten Hall of Famers in his career.

06:12Tonight, could make 11.

06:17Yeah, because there's no doubt John Cena is headed down that path.

06:23Roman Reigns said, if he doesn't walk out of this stadium with the Universal Championship,

06:32he will leave the WWE.

06:35That is how confident Reigns is in his ability to knock off John Cena here tonight.

06:50Absolute stud.

06:51The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Universal Championship.

07:01Introducing the challenger from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds,

07:15John Cena and his opponent, accompanied by his special counsel, Paul Heyman,

07:25standing in at a weight of 265 pounds.

07:29He is the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

07:43He is the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

07:57Tonight at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

08:06There are 51,326 WWE fans on hand to witness one of the greatest main events in SummerSlam history.

08:17Roman Reigns is the defending Universal Champion.

08:20The challenger is the 16-time champ, John Cena.

08:25There has been a lot of talk over the past number of weeks about John Cena and perhaps some ring rust, Pat McAfee.

08:33It's been over 500 days since John Cena has been in a match in a pay-per-view event.

08:37Is Cena ready?

08:39When I asked John about that, he said, you just gotta believe.

08:43John Cena said he plans on getting his ass beat tonight.

08:49That's his actual quote.

08:50He'll never give up and all he needs is one, two, three to shock the world.

08:54Two of the most powerful men in WWE, Reigns, 6'3", 265, Cena, 6'1", 251.

09:01Documentaries will be made about this match tonight.

09:07The opportunity for Reigns to cement his legacy.

09:24It is electric in here.

09:30A big fight feel in Las Vegas.

09:32And John Cena will start things off with a side headlock on the Universal Champion.

09:38John Cena wearing his patented jorts.

09:42The corner shoulder tackle reigns as Cena makes it back to his feet.

09:50Cena hasn't had to take any shoulder tackles lately.

09:53He's taken nothing like this as of late, Pat.

09:56Of course, the Peacemaker was obviously making magic in the movies, but

10:00now he's staring down the head of the table and he has to feel it.

10:03And he's, John Cena just bounced off Roman Reigns.

10:06And now Cena taking Reigns down, shoulder, and there was two count.

10:09Remember, one, two, three, it's all Cena needs.

10:11Roman can't rest on his yawnies.

10:18John Cena hasn't been in this moment,

10:27this type of atmosphere in a long time.

10:30Roman has lived here.

10:31Maybe getting some jitters out here early,

10:36feeling each other out a little bit.

10:38And Cena roll up again, shoulders down on the champion and a kick out at two.

10:44That was a walk closer than I thought.

10:49Woo-hoo, we're getting close, we're getting close, we're getting all the way down.

10:53Roman could be mocking Cena now, but he almost got caught not once but twice.

10:57Hey, the number two does not matter in sports entertainment.

11:04Three is the only thing that matters, Roman knows, obviously.

11:07Kick to the gut for John Cena.

11:11Now Roman with the right hand, dropping John.

11:14And now Roman mocking the WWE Universe.

11:19Remember Cena said you're either on Team Cena or Team Roman Reigns.

11:28It feels like a lot of Allegiant Stadium is on Team Cena.

11:32And again, a right drops John.

11:35And Roman doesn't give a damn.

11:38Now Roman talked a lot about this the past couple of weeks, Pat,

11:44that at this stage in his career, Cena's all hype.

11:48Those are the words of Reigns.

11:49And it's a pipe dream that Cena can even stick with Reigns here tonight.

11:53But again, a roll up on the champion.

11:54They're trying to steal one and a kick out at two.

11:57It runs right into a wicked clothesline by Reigns.

12:02265 pounds, chiseled.

12:06Roman Reigns is gonna be tough to hold down for three seconds in a quick roll up.

12:11Again, I said it earlier, Pat.

12:12Watch the impact, I almost had him here.

12:14Cena almost stole one and a kick out at two.

12:16And then Roman follows it up with that.

12:18When we talked about it earlier, Pat,

12:22no one has been as dominant over a year long period like Roman Reigns has had.

12:26In my memory.

12:28Cena's spending a lot of time on the canvas here.

12:31It's all fun and games on the number one movie in the world set.

12:38Now you're in here with the head of the table.

12:43John whipped into the corner.

12:56Let alone Hollywood.

12:59It's gonna be tough to take time off and be able to reach Roman's level.

13:04One.

13:05Suplex by Reigns.

13:07In complete control.

13:09Cover on Cena.

13:10Two.

13:11Nonchalant cover allows Cena to get his right shoulder up.

13:15We've seen this time and time again from our Universal Champion.

13:19Once he finds his groove and the rhythm and gets comfortable with him.

13:23He just beats the hell out of you, Pat.

13:24Beats the hell out of people.

13:28Loves it too.

13:29Pays the bills with it.

13:30Chin lock by Reigns applied.

13:35Roman trying to keep Cena down, but Cena back to his feet.

13:41Cena is still an incredibly powerful human.

13:44Oh, and again, just dropped by Reigns.

13:50I think Roman just saw it there.

13:52Cena hasn't lost much strength.

13:53Vegas is here for me.

14:05Roman just told a guy in the crowd, you can come get it too.

14:08Just like big match.

14:09Shawn is.

14:10Snap loop.

14:11Suplex by Roman Reigns into the cover again.

14:14Forcing Cena to get the shoulder up at two.

14:17I hate to break it to the 50,000 strong that seemed to not be on Roman Reigns' side.

14:22He beat the crap out of all of you as well.

14:26Now Cena sent outside the ring.

14:29This is dominance personified.

14:32The head of the table.

14:34Handling business.

14:36Very few people have ever dominated John Cena in this way.

14:42I can remember one.

14:46And Roman Reigns is starting to make this very uncomfortable.

14:52This would be like.

14:56Cena blocks.

14:57And now Cena with the right hand.

14:59And another one to Roman Reigns.

15:00Driving Reigns back.

15:01John Cena now.

15:02Reigns reversal.

15:03Cena into the steps.

15:04Every little rally snuffed out by the champion Roman Reigns.

15:12Could you imagine going back into the NBA when Michael Jordan was with that Bulls team and

15:17expecting to get a win?

15:18That's what John Cena's doing right now with Roman Reigns.

15:22He's at the top of his game.

15:26Never a bit better.

15:26Never.

15:27I will count you out.

15:29Hey, come on.

15:30Hey, ref, you can catch one too, says the head of the table.

15:33Come on.

15:38Now Cena pounced face first off the steps.

15:42Come on.

15:43John Cena with a much better fade.

15:45Title left.

15:46I'm gonna title.

15:47Title might drive it.

15:50This feels like a night off for our champ almost.

15:52Look at him standing.

15:54Has he even broken his sweat?

15:55I don't think so.

15:58Now he's posing, flexing.

16:00You need me, you need me.

16:07He's right.

16:09Meanwhile, John Cena has rolled back into the ring and that broke the count.

16:14Remember, it's champion's advantage tonight for Reigns.

16:17Cena's gotta pin or submit the champion.

16:19Countout disqualifications don't work in his favor.

16:21And now John Cena again, rolling the overconfident, Reigns up, and that was two and a half.

16:27Don't think he got the leg all the way in.

16:29And Roman just flattening John again.

16:31Same outcome every single time for the quick roll-up.

16:34But the thing is, Pat, that's the veteran in Cena.

16:36You can't roll me up.

16:39He realizes when Reigns has a bit of a lapse.

16:42You ain't gonna win like this.

16:46John trying to drag himself back to his feet.

16:57Roman breaking some news to John Cena.

17:01And John Cena again now, has Reigns up in the air for the EA.

17:05Reigns able to counter into a DDT.

17:07Quickly into the cover.

17:08Notice how fast Reigns was into the cover off that DDT, and Cena kicks out again.

17:13It seemed as Reigns was surprised that Cena got him up in the position for

17:17the attitude adjustment.

17:19And you notice off the DDT how quickly he moved to the cover this time.

17:23Watch this.

17:24In those moments of chaos and doubt, that's when the great shine.

17:29Roman was almost got by Cena, quickly flips him.

17:32Almost ends this thing.

17:34Hey, movie executives, Hollywood, I apologize.

17:40But I'm gonna hurt this man.

17:42I'm gonna hurt, I'm gonna whoop his ass, and we're gonna send it to the EA.

17:45Hey, number one, you ain't gonna be able to go bring it back here.

17:49I'm WWE.

17:51You can have him, but you can't.

17:55It's very nice of the head of the table.

17:58Sorry, Khan.

18:01I gotta beat the ass of your star.

18:04And look at Cena now, right hand delivered, and another one delivered by Cena.

18:08And now he's fighting back.

18:09Shot to Roman Reigns, misses wildly, Cena now off the road.

18:12No!

18:13What a right!

18:14Yes sir, everyone's here, man.

18:19Pat Jones is just a step slow against Reigns here.

18:23Everybody's a step slow against Roman Reigns, pal.

18:28A big right to the mouth.

18:30Hello, John.

18:32Good five moves.

18:35That's easy, man.

18:36This is like work.

18:38I might as well be in Denver right now.

18:46This seems very easy for Roman Reigns.

18:49And I love Johnson.

18:51But this seems like a night off for our Tribal Chief.

18:55That's where the WWE is tomorrow night.

18:58And Roman Reigns plans to defend the title there.

19:00The Tribal Chief.

19:01Big the Tribal Chief.

19:07John Cena, I'm gonna roll up.

19:08Gonna get the shoulders down.

19:09This time at two, Roman's got a kick again.

19:11Cena back to his feet.

19:12And Reigns caught him in a sleeper.

19:15Reigns caught John in a sleeper in the middle of the ring.

19:18And John Cena could be fading.

19:20Good.

19:21A couple of flurries by Cena.

19:23But that's been it in this match.

19:25And now John down to the mat.

19:27And it could just be a matter of moments before Roman Reigns extends his title reign.

19:32John Cena going back to Hollywood.

19:35Roman going to Denver as the champ.

19:37Cena trying to make it back to a vertical base.

19:42John Cena trying to power out of this sweeper hole.

19:45But now Roman Reigns with his full body weight, 265 pounds on the back of Cena.

19:50Latched around Cena's body like a boa constrictor.

19:56Come on, Cena, come on.

19:58And John again fading.

20:00And Cena may be out.

20:02265 pounds of muscle trying to put John out.

20:11John trying to give some hope, some faith to the believers out there.

20:16But again, Roman Reigns, full body weight on Cena.

20:19And Cena now able to back Reigns into the corner and break the sleeper.

20:26Cena with some fight left.

20:29Never give up, he says.

20:33Thought he was gonna have to.

20:35And now John Cena with the clothesline.

20:37And Reigns is down.

20:38And Cena's down.

20:41John has made a career out of this.

20:44A Hall of Fame career out of this.

20:47Coming back against all odds.

20:49Well, there's a reason that a Hall of Famer, JBL,

20:52coined John Cena Big Match John many years ago.

20:57And this is a big match.

20:58The SummerSlam main event.

21:00In front of 51,326 in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.

21:06Reigns defends the Universal Championship against John Cena.

21:13Roman misses wildly.

21:15Cena with a shoulder tackle.

21:16And now John Cena's starting to feel it.

21:18And another shoulder tackle.

21:19And now Roman Reigns taken down by Cena, and we are at John's wheelhouse.

21:25Cena's mantra, never give up.

21:33We've seen this a thousand times before.

21:36And Roman Reigns now, trying to get John in the guillotine.

21:41The submission that's put away so many men over the past year.

21:45John Cena, jackknife, cover, shoulders down, and it forces Roman to break the hole.

21:49And kick out.

21:50Superman punch!

21:56And just like that, the rally snuffed out again.

22:01Thought we were gonna see a five-knuckle shuffle.

22:04Well, you did see a five-knuckle.

22:06A five-knuckle Superman punch.

22:07John Cena's on a movie set.

22:13And Roman Reigns looking for the spear.

22:15He runs into a kick by Cena.

22:17John Cena's got a chance now.

22:23We're back.

22:27At a distance, smart.

22:29And there it is, the five-knuckle shuffle.

22:32Cena setting up Reigns for an attitude adjustment.

22:35Cena's got Roman up top on his shoulders.

22:39Looking to put the champ away.

22:40John Cena with the E.A.

22:42Cena's gonna do it.

22:43Cena's gonna do it.

22:45Cena with the cover.

22:46Can't get it.

22:47Get it out of here.

22:55This delete was a heartbeat away.

22:59A half second away from 17 world titles.

23:05You can't see me.

23:08Attitude adjustment.

23:10That is put Cena over to the STF.

23:12The STF by John Cena.

23:14The patented submission hold.

23:15Locked in center of the ring.

23:17Is Reigns gonna tap out?

23:21Will it happen?

23:22Will Cena make history?

23:24Will Roman have to leave the WWE?

23:29Roman trying to drag himself to the rope to force a break.

23:31Fingertips away.

23:32Can he make it there?

23:34He does and John's gonna have to break.

23:36He's got a five count.

23:42John Cena saw history.

23:46And now Roman Reigns outside the ring, limping around out here.

23:50The champion suddenly appears vulnerable.

23:55It's gonna have to get- And now, and a drive by by Reigns.

24:01Just as we thought John, Big Max John was gonna take advantage.

24:06Roman with a drive by.

24:08Now Roman looked for the opening and he saw it.

24:13For the last 356 days, Roman Reigns has taken everybody's best shot.

24:18John Cena's nothing different.

24:25Roman's been here before, so has Cena.

24:28Cena trying to rally, trying to feed off the WWE fans.

24:33But how much does Cena have left?

24:41Roman Reigns, eyeing John Cena, looking for more carnage.

24:51And now Roman Reigns, Cena's caught Reigns, Cena's got Reigns.

24:56A-A to the table, A-A to the table, A-A to the table.

24:59John's got a chance.

25:01Come on, John, Cena's got a chance.

25:04Seventeen time champion, John Cena.

25:09Cena's got a chance, Pat.

25:10He just put Reigns to the table with an A-A.

25:13Cover by Cena to win the championship.

25:16Roman Reigns at two and a half.

25:19Two A-A's from John Cena to Roman Reigns.

25:30The second of which, through the table.

25:36Exploding out from underneath of us and Roman.

25:41The devastation, Cena is delivering.

25:44And the story here, Pat, is the champion is in deep, deep trouble.

25:50Roman Reigns still suffering the effects of the A-A through the table.

25:54John Cena realizes he may have Reigns where he wants him.

25:58Cena heading to the top rope.

26:00What the hell is Cena doing?

26:01Cena, oh!

26:03Countered, covered by Reigns.

26:05Enough to retain the title.

26:07Cena's in it.

26:08Cena going high risk, Roman countering.

26:15Who's gonna walk out of here as Universal Champion?

26:22John Cena digging down deep one last time.

26:26A clash of eras.

26:29Years and decades in the making.

26:35Reigns talking to himself.

26:46A lot of the greats do that.

26:52The confidence creeping back into the champion.

26:55He's locked and loaded.

26:58Superman punch on deck.

27:02Cena back to his feet.

27:03Reigns went for the punch.

27:04John Cena able to counter.

27:05Rolling up Reigns again.

27:06Shoulders down.

27:07Middle of the ring.

27:07Reigns has got a kick.

27:10And Cena with Reigns up, trying to power him up.

27:13Reigns on his feet.

27:15Superman punch.

27:17Not sure he got full extension, but it was clean.

27:19Cover to retain.

27:21And a kick out again by Cena.

27:24Look at the frustration now on Reigns.

27:26Both these men throwing everything they have at each other.

27:32Two Mount Rushmore faces.

27:39Put on a battle here.

27:46But Pat, how much does Cena have left?

27:48Cena is collapsed in the corner.

27:50Roman's reminding himself of who he is.

27:54We would expect nothing less between these two men.

28:02Roman Reigns eyeing victory.

28:16Send him.

28:20Back to Hollywood.

28:21Reigns went for the spear.

28:23Cena sidestep the champion.

28:25Show defense to the post.

28:27John Cena has countered a couple moves here late of Roman.

28:31And John Cena realizing this is his chance.

28:34And look at Cena now.

28:38Cena dragging Reigns up to the top.

28:40Are you serious?

28:44How does he have this much left in the tank?

28:48From movie set to Allegiant Stadium.

28:51Big match, John going high risk.

28:54Cena with Reigns up on his shoulders.

28:56John Cena from the second rope.

28:59Reigns up high.

29:00Cena, AA, AA for the title for the 17th time in his career.

29:07And Roman Reigns kicks out again.

29:09Are you kidding me?

29:13This entire stadium thought Cena was winning.

29:18Roman Reigns was out of the WWE.

29:22John Cena was a 17 time champ.

29:25An attitude adjustment from the second rope.

29:28And again, the impact to Roman Reigns.

29:36Cena almost won the Universal title.

29:39The power of John Cena throwing Roman Reigns across the ring.

29:45Ladies and gentlemen, watch this, cherish this, enjoy this.

29:51Because Cena and Reigns may never ever meet again.

29:5651,326 WWE fans witnessing history here tonight.

30:04They're describing it perfectly.

30:07This is awesome.

30:12The battle hardened warrior.

30:17John Cena, the dominant champion reigns.

30:23You have to be embarrassed.

30:24You have to be embarrassed.

30:26The time is up.

30:28My time is now.

30:29You have to be embarrassed.

30:32You have to be embarrassed.

30:37Cena said you need to be embarrassed.

30:39And this time it's Reigns meeting Cena with a kick.

30:41And John Cena with a right.

30:43And Reigns battling back with a right of his own.

30:45And now it's changing blows, center of the ring.

30:51Old school.

30:54Throwing hands at each other.

30:58But it's John Cena now with the upper hand momentarily.
