00:00:00Together.
00:00:30And now we're discussing about this spectacle.
00:00:32Saturday Night's main event is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:00:37Try Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:00:41A massive crowd is packing into State Farm Arena.
00:00:46Seth Rollins is here.
00:00:48Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:00:50The visionary.
00:00:51He's reshaped the landscape of WWE.
00:00:54And he's done so with the Oracle Paul Heyman.
00:00:56The heavy hitters Breaker and Reed.
00:00:58And tonight, look who's coming for him.
00:01:01L.A. Knight.
00:01:04The megastar has survived various attacks from that group.
00:01:08Now Knight and Rollins settle it in the ring.
00:01:11Plus, the Viper is ready to strike.
00:01:15You see him, Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
00:01:21McIntyre's taking aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:24And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:27Randy's been battling the very best.
00:01:30But now, a long time adversary has returned in Drew McIntyre for this showcase event.
00:01:37Meanwhile, a family feud goes to the next level.
00:01:42Solo Sokoa, the United States Champion.
00:01:45He's put together what he calls the MFTs by his side.
00:01:49But that family tree includes an older brother who refuses to join in.
00:01:54Jimmy Uso is out to claim his first singles title in his long WWE career.
00:02:00Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship Main Event.
00:02:04Gunther crossed the line, made things personal here in Atlanta.
00:02:08And now he has to defend his title.
00:02:11Against Georgia's Barrio.
00:02:12Against Georgia's Barrio.
00:02:15Hometown legend.

00:09:29All desire to keep you safe
00:09:32But the world is down the road
00:10:12And his opponent, being accompanied by Logan Paul, from Air Scotland, weighing in at 275 pounds, Drew McIntyre!
00:10:32Well, I'm not shocked to see these two hypocrites hanging out together.
00:10:36Let's take it back to last night on SmackDown. Jelly Roll was performing.
00:10:42I hear you in my head, in my bed.
00:10:45Hey, yo, hey, yo, oh!
00:10:48The WWE doesn't need a Jelly Roll. The WWE needs a Logan Paul.
00:10:55Everybody back there from top to bottom does everything that they can do to make sure that Logan Paul moves it.
00:11:02And then McIntyre with an ambush, Wade, and a Claymore, and Logan Paul went on loan.
00:11:09Seizing the opportunity to pick the bones until Jelly Roll got involved in an irate Logan Paul.
00:11:16You are not a wrestler, brother!
00:11:17Tracing Jelly Roll set right afterwards. Bowing vengeance.
00:11:21You are looking at the man who claims he has evolved over the past decade and a half here in WWE.
00:11:29None other than the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:11:34He's been chastising Randy Orton for a couple of weeks now.
00:11:38Claiming that Randy could not pull the trigger against Cody Rhodes in their big matchup.
00:11:44Claiming that Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:11:49Well, certainly an element of Drew for what Drew McIntyre said.
00:11:53And it clearly hit a raw nerve with Randy Orton who probably RKO'd McIntyre one week ago.
00:12:00Hence McIntyre's retort with last night's Claymore.
00:12:04One for one now.
00:12:05For the renewal of a great all-time rivalry here tonight with McIntyre and Randy Orton.
00:12:10Their first match one-on-one was back in 2011.
00:12:14McIntyre vs. Orton.
00:12:162020.
00:12:17They had an unbelievable rivalry.
00:12:21They didn't consist of a SummerSlam match and an ambulance match.
00:12:26And Randy Orton, a hell in a cell.
00:12:29And McIntyre winning a no disqualification and no countout.
00:12:32Tremendous history between these two.
00:12:33Way two men you know extremely well.
00:12:35Yeah, and they more importantly know each other extremely well.
00:12:39Oh, they're acutely aware of how dangerous their opponent is this evening.
00:12:43McIntyre sent over the top rope.
00:12:46And now Randy Orton, the Viper, staring down Logan Paul.
00:12:51And Orton now went for that classic back suplex to McIntyre.
00:12:57So easy he is.
00:12:59Most opponents.
00:13:00And McIntyre gonna deliver Orton's own move to him on the top of our announce table.
00:13:05And that's that previously dead power back of Orton once again.
00:13:09Taking the brunt of the punishment in the early goings here.
00:13:12Another one to Orton.
00:13:14Already favoring his back.
00:13:16McIntyre dominating early here on NBC.
00:13:18We are back on Saturday night's main event.
00:13:24Nearly 12,000 in attendance tonight.
00:13:26State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia.
00:13:29Kicking off the night with a renewal of a great rivalry.
00:13:31Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:13:33Randy Orton starting to fight back in this match.
00:13:36But McIntyre sending Randy into the corner.
00:13:38And again, the lower back has been the target.
00:13:40Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:41And Logan Paul clearly looking on, enjoying what he's seeing.
00:13:44Jelly roll.
00:13:44Unless so, you'll remember at Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton.
00:13:49That superplex in the early goings tweaked the lower back of the Viper.
00:13:53We saw it.
00:13:54The world saw it.
00:13:55I guarantee you Drew McIntyre saw it too.
00:13:58Yes, Randy Orton.
00:14:00What happened to you?
00:14:02And McIntyre questioning what has happened to Randy Orton.
00:14:05We mentioned earlier McIntyre questioning whether or not Randy had the killer instinct anymore.
00:14:10When he wouldn't go kill the trigger against Cody Rhodes.
00:14:13And those eyes of the Viper just narrowed somewhat.
00:14:17And Randy exploded out of the corner with a clothesline.
00:14:20And here comes the WWE's Apex Predator.
00:14:23Well, really a good idea to start goading the Viper.
00:14:26But nice move there from McIntyre.
00:14:29Put in the break zone.
00:14:30The Glasgow kiss by McIntyre.
00:14:32Launched out to the apron.
00:14:34And now Drew heading up to the top rope.
00:14:38Scottish Warrior has to roll through.
00:14:40Power slam by Randy.
00:14:41He got outwitted the first time.
00:14:45But he connected that time.
00:14:47Yeah, both men going counter for counter.
00:14:49Move for move here.
00:14:50Trying to second guess their opponent the entire time.
00:14:53And wait up.
00:14:54It might be payback time.
00:14:55And now it's Randy Orton to McIntyre.
00:14:57And Randy Orton going to make McIntyre pay a second time.
00:15:06And I don't believe the Viper's done yet.
00:15:09A third time.
00:15:11McIntyre on the announce table.
00:15:13And now Randy Orton staring down Logan Paul.
00:15:16And Logan is caught between Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:15:19Logan took a fair few cheap shots at Randy Orton last night.
00:15:22Oh, and right to the throat.
00:15:25McIntyre using the distraction by Logan Paul to his advantage.
00:15:32Just goes to show you how important a corner man can be in this game.
00:15:39Orton.
00:15:41Think it's Randy Orton.
00:15:43That draping DDT.
00:15:44And Randy's taking over.
00:15:57The Viper's ready to strike.
00:16:03And Logan Paul causing a distraction.
00:16:08Well, how vital.
00:16:10McIntyre with a climber to Randy Orton.
00:16:13Hook of the leg.
00:16:15Randy able to get his foot on the bottom rope before a count of three.
00:16:19Referee Sean Bennett in perfect position as we take another look.
00:16:23Just utter devastation from McIntyre.
00:16:25The fix was in.
00:16:26The distraction from Logan Paul.
00:16:28A flush Claymore.
00:16:29But a veteran Viper knowing exactly where he was.
00:16:33And we're having a showdown now.
00:16:35Jelly Roll and Logan Paul.
00:16:37You're in my long run, buddy.
00:16:40And I told you that yesterday.
00:16:41And I'm going to tell you again.
00:16:43You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:45You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:47Oh, I'm wrong, brother.
00:16:48I'm pushing you there.
00:16:50Logan Paul dropped by Jelly Roll.
00:16:53And Jelly Roll in Paul's face.
00:16:55As Paul tries to retreat.
00:16:57And now McIntyre barking at the country music superstar.
00:17:04You're going to fall to my business.
00:17:06You want to fight.
00:17:07You get in here and fight me.
00:17:09You want to fight.
00:17:10Fight you, McIntyre.
00:17:11I dare you.
00:17:13Don't try to mention that.
00:17:14You're in the wrong arena.
00:17:15You're in the wrong arena.
00:17:17That's what I thought.
00:17:19Nothing.
00:17:20Nothing.
00:17:22It's not moved.
00:17:23Jelly Roll.
00:17:24Keep the hell out of that fight.
00:17:25No, you're limits.
00:17:26McIntyre.
00:17:27And Randy Orton.
00:17:28An RKO.
00:17:29Out of nowhere.
00:17:30By Orton.
00:17:31Here's the cover.
00:17:33Orton with the win.
00:17:38Here is your winner.
00:17:40The maker.
00:17:42Randy Orton.
00:17:46Randy Orton with an RKO out of nowhere.
00:17:51Knocks off McIntyre.
00:17:53Back to the issue with Jelly Roll and Logan Paul here at ringside.
00:17:59Well, that was a major distraction from the outside from Jelly Roll.
00:18:03He needs to stick to music.
00:18:05And now, one lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:10And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:14Paul with that big right hand connecting.
00:18:16Jolly Roll has seen it up.
00:18:28Jolly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:32But he's not going to put up with his friend being being up here tonight.
00:18:38And now, Jolly Roll swinging Paul across the ring.
00:18:40And Jolly Roll with a right hand.
00:18:49Paul down.
00:18:50Paul is down.
00:18:51And we're going to get here tonight.
00:18:59Jolly Roll with a right hand.
00:19:02Woo.
00:19:02No!
00:19:11No!
00:19:12A play more by McIntyre to Jelly Roll as he was checking on a falling Randy Orton.
00:19:18What do you think is going to happen to you?
00:19:20You step into my ring.
00:19:22You become a target.
00:19:24You're going to remember this night.
00:19:26You're struggling through McIntyre.
00:19:28What the hell are you thinking?
00:19:29He got it, aren't I?
00:19:30Paul!
00:19:31Well, if you ask me, that is exactly what Jelly Roll deserved.
00:19:35Listen, Cole, I play a little guitar on my off day.
00:19:38Doesn't mean I can pack out the honky-tonks.
00:19:41Stick to your leg, Jelly Roll.
00:19:43You are not a fighter.
00:19:45Well, at the end of the day, Wade, the match was over.
00:19:49Randy Orton was getting beaten up by Logan Paul, and all what Jelly Roll did was come
00:19:54to the aid of his friend, and he suffered a claymore at the hands of McIntyre.
00:19:58And this is a serious situation here.
00:20:00We need some medical help.
00:20:02If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring.
00:20:06Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, yes, Logan Paul, active competitors.
00:20:11License, credential, Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:20:16Stay out on the ring.
00:20:28Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside, and Jelly Roll had enough, and I can't quite
00:20:34blame him here.
00:20:36And then he might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was pivotal in
00:20:42this match because Drew was caught napping, and that RKO out of nowhere put McIntyre to sleep
00:20:49for good in this one.
00:20:51Yeah, and then Randy Orton, well, he would be attacked by none other than Logan Paul,
00:20:55the sneak attack with that titanium-loaded right hand dropping Randy Orton.
00:20:59And as Logan Paul teed off on a defenseless Orton, Jelly Roll had had enough.
00:21:03Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring, a beautiful right hook from Jelly Roll
00:21:10dropping the Maverick, but when you get in the ring, bad things happen, and the sweetest
00:21:16Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down.
00:21:20What did you think was going to happen to you?
00:21:23You step into my ring, you become a target.
00:21:27Exploit what you just said.
00:21:29Make it make sense!
00:21:30What do you do?
00:21:31Make it make sense!
00:21:32You both play favorites!
00:21:33You both play favorites!
00:21:34You understand it!
00:21:36And who's Carl?
00:21:37He got it!
00:21:38He got it!
00:21:39He got it!
00:21:40He got it!
00:21:41He got it!
00:21:42He got it!
00:21:43He got it!
00:21:44He got it!
00:21:45More on that in a moment, but tonight the Laverne family has been upgraded ringside seats
00:21:50and decked out with swag, courtesy of Jimmy John.
00:21:53He tried Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:21:57Well, you just saw an irate Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
00:22:01I think if we know the history of Drew McIntyre, he is not going to let that one lie.
00:22:05Furious right now, and there may be consequences for Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
00:22:10Well, ladies and gentlemen, quite the weekend here in Atlanta for WWE,
00:22:13and it continues tomorrow night at the All-Women's Premium Live Event Evolution
00:22:17where Io Scott, the Women's World Champion, will defend the title in the main event
00:22:22against a woman she has never lost to.
00:22:25Mami, Brea Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the Women's World Title tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:22:35Also here tonight, the Queen of the Ring, who already has a title opportunity for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
00:22:45Jade Cargill is here tomorrow night. No-hold-barred versus Naomi at Evolution.
00:22:52What a reaction to the Queen. Oh, my! Wait a minute! Oh, wow!
00:23:00Well, it's been on-site for months now, and Naomi simply will not let this rivalry go.
00:23:07Getting some cheap shots ahead of tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:23:11Well, it was Naomi who attacked Cargill months and months ago,
00:23:14costing Cargill a number of months of her career.
00:23:17And now, once again, blind-siding and sneak-attacking Jade Cargill.
00:23:21And finally, uh, some authorities and referees and officials down here to try to break things up between these two.
00:23:27Oh, no, no, no, no!
00:23:28And Cargill! Yeah!
00:23:29The temperature is rising between these two, and it's come unglued completely.
00:23:34Cargill with Naomi now, and Naomi set right off her on announce table to the floor!
00:23:42Jade Cargill is irate!
00:23:44And in 24 hours, these two go no-holds-barred!
00:23:48Oh, man!
00:23:49Former best friends!
00:23:51Now, the absolute worst of enemies!
00:23:54There may be bloodshed tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:23:57And Naomi now!
00:24:03Oh!
00:24:04Off the announce table!
00:24:06Take it out, Cargill!
00:24:07Cargill!
00:24:08Oh, my God!
00:24:09We need some more security!
00:24:10This is simply not enough!
00:24:12Absolute chaos tonight!
00:24:14And the thing is, Wade, tomorrow, this will all be legal!
00:24:17These two women can do whatever the hell they want to each other!
00:24:20Well, let's be honest, they're doing exactly that right now!
00:24:24And now, perhaps, finally, a little separation!
00:24:31And now Naomi once again, up on our table, staring back at Naomi, Jade, that's enough!
00:24:41Now, I had a feeling that you two couldn't wait till tomorrow night!
00:24:44So, speaking of tomorrow night, I've made a little arrangement!
00:24:49Now, I was gonna discuss this with you two before I made the announcement in my office, like professionals!
00:24:54But seeing as you two want to jump the gun, here it is!
00:24:58Allow me to introduce to you someone who can maintain order in your no-holds-barred match tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:25:06Say hello to your special guest referee!
00:25:15Oh, yeah!
00:25:17Oh, the big three will be back together tomorrow at Evolution!
00:25:22The acapellaire wants the best of friends to Jade and, of course, Naomi!
00:25:33Will be the special guest referee for this no-holds-barred match!
00:25:39Why do the loyalties of the EST lie these days, as barely said a word to Jade Cargill in the past couple of months?
00:25:48And the same can be said for Naomi!
00:25:52You gotta wonder what is going through Naomi's mind!
00:25:56As that woman, Bianca Belair, is going to be the special guest referee!
00:26:03Tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:26:05Well, tonight is also a celebration of the last match at Goldberg!
00:26:08Many of his long-time friends are here tonight, including none other than Doug Dellinger!
00:26:14Doug, a part of the security detail, the man, the WCW head of security, that walked Goldberg to the ring each and every night for those iconic entrances!
00:26:24Also here tonight, the Hall of Famer, Diamond Dallas Page!
00:26:28He, of course, battled Goldberg in 1998 at Halloween Havoc!
00:26:33Fall Brawl in 1999!
00:26:35Two of the great matches between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg!
00:26:41DDP here tonight to celebrate!
00:26:44Well, it has been a crazy night already!
00:26:47Our desk has been rearranged three times, and now it's an absolute state!
00:26:50But I am so fired up to be here to see the final ever match of Goldberg!
00:26:55The world is watching! It's gonna be huge!
00:26:57A lot of interviews this week Goldberg has conducted around the United States!
00:27:01He did a particular run with CBS News where he talked about the toll that his career has taken on his body!
00:27:06He says he's got a bad knee, which makes it hard to plant when he delivers the spear!
00:27:10He's got a jacked-up shoulder that makes the jackhammer difficult to deliver!
00:27:14But Goldberg said this, I believe that my, and this is his words, quote,
00:27:19Old body has one more night left in it to recreate the magic from many years ago!
00:27:30We have never seen a man quite like this!
00:27:37Who can stop him?
00:27:39And Bill Goldberg remains unbeaten!
00:27:42Who's left?
00:27:43What another mark in the win column!
00:27:4656 of 0!
00:27:4877!
00:27:50Triple digits!
00:27:51100 and 0!
00:27:54More amazing by the victory!
00:27:57The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the world championship!
00:28:09And for tonight, one last time!
00:28:14Can Goldberg do it again?
00:28:16Can he win the world heavyweight championship?
00:28:19It is adopted hometown of Atlanta!
00:28:22Or will Gunther send Goldberg out on his terms?
00:28:26We find out in our main event tonight!
00:28:28The following contest is set for one fall!
00:28:29And it is for the United States Championship!
00:28:33Introducing first, the challenger!
00:28:34From San Francisco, California!

00:28:42No!
00:28:43No!
00:28:44No!
00:28:45No!
00:28:46No!
00:28:47No!
00:28:48Ticycle!
00:28:49Me x2
00:28:50Jimmy Uso!
00:28:51No!
00:28:52Billy!
00:28:53No!
00:28:54Oh!
00:28:55Oh!
00:28:56No!
00:28:57Yeah!
00:28:58So, thealuing contest is set for one fall!
00:28:59And it is for the United States Championship!
00:29:00Introducing first the challenger!
00:29:01From San Francisco, California!
00:29:02Weighting in at 251 pounds!
00:29:05Jimmie Uso!
00:29:10with an opportunity to win his first singles championship
00:29:14at WWE.
00:29:15But he's got to beat his brother to do it.
00:29:18It's next.
00:29:38I'm the V-E-S-H.
00:29:40I'm the prodigy.
00:29:41This storm's come.
00:29:43Greatness is my destiny.
00:29:45I'm number one.
00:29:46Jimmy John's.
00:29:48To the big time.
00:29:50Presented by Jimmy John's.
00:29:52By Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:30:00And Jimmy Uso looking to win his first singles championship
00:30:03in WWE.
00:30:05In what just so happens to be his little brother's
00:30:08first ever defense of a singles championship.
00:30:12A real family affair here.
00:30:14His opponent being accompanied by MFT.
00:30:30From Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:30:32Weighting at 250 pounds.
00:30:34He is the United States Champion, Solo Sokoa.
00:30:42You know, Wade, many believe that Jimmy Uso has the momentum coming into this matchup
00:30:45after what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:30:48Jimmy teaming with LA Knight against Solo Sokoa and JC Mateo
00:30:51of the MFTs that attacked Max.
00:30:53And with Knife fully in control, things were looking good
00:30:57until the untimely arrival of one Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:31:02Appeared at ringside.
00:31:04A major distraction.
00:31:05And that opened the door for the massive Talat Tonga
00:31:08to completely rub the megastar out.
00:31:11Amidst the chaos, though, Big Jim was ready.
00:31:14He rolled up Solo Sokoa, scored the dub while the MFTs gave chase.
00:31:20Interesting stories in this matchup tonight.
00:31:23First for Solo Sokoa, Wade.
00:31:24He was extremely embarrassed last night by losing to Jimmy Uso
00:31:29in this tag team matchup.
00:31:30But when you look at Jimmy Uso, you look at this as a suicide mission
00:31:34as he stares across the ring at the entire group of MFTs.
00:31:40It's really been two weeks in a row now.
00:31:42Jimmy has scored a tag victory over Solo Sokoa on SmackDown.
00:31:49An irate Solo Sokoa now promising some swift vengeance
00:31:54and consequences for his big brother.
00:31:56And you're right.
00:31:57I simply don't see how in this situation,
00:32:00with the ring surrounded by the MFTs,
00:32:03Jimmy Uso can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:32:08It is for the United States Championship.
00:32:10Solo Sokoa winning the title from Jacob Patu back at Night of Champions
00:32:15thanks to the arrival of Talatanga,
00:32:17the latest member of Solo Sokoa's, quote, family.
00:32:22What utter devastation Talatanga has helped enact
00:32:26on behalf of the MFTs,
00:32:28completely wiping out Jacob Patu last week.
00:32:31You're not coming back.
00:32:33You understand me?
00:32:34You're on me.
00:32:36What do you want to do?
00:32:37And here we go.
00:32:43Jimmy, the older brother of Solo Sokoa,
00:32:46and we're underway for the United States Championship.
00:32:48Interesting note here.
00:32:4915 years in WWE.
00:32:51Only one time has Jimmy Uso had an opportunity to singles title.
00:32:55And that was in a multi-man match.
00:32:56This is his first ever one-on-one matchup for a singles championship in WWE.
00:33:02Yeah, you told me that stat earlier.
00:33:03I simply couldn't believe it.
00:33:06Underappreciated, underrated, but uber-talented.
00:33:09Big Jimmy Uso needs to put the naysayers away tonight
00:33:13by scoring what feels like an impossible victory and grabbing gold.
00:33:19And a suicide dive by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:21Down goes Solo.
00:33:22That was an ugly landing for Jimmy Uso in the process
00:33:25and staring up now at three MFTs stalking their prey.
00:33:30It got uglier by the second.
00:33:32Yeah, Jimmy wisely back into the ring.
00:33:34And again, a very irate Solo Sokoa.
00:33:39You mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night
00:33:43after being pinned by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:47The United States Championship and prestigious title,
00:33:51the WCW version, of course, held by Goldberg
00:33:54a number of times in his career.
00:33:57Over the past couple of weeks for Solo Sokoa,
00:33:59it has been a re-accumulation of power here
00:34:03with his new army
00:34:04and he expects everything to go his way
00:34:07and it simply hasn't been the case
00:34:09because of Big Jim.
00:34:10Oh, and Solo Sokoa catching Jimmy up.
00:34:12Oh!
00:34:13Caught him, spinning Solo by Sokoa.
00:34:16Covering a quick kick out by Jimmy Uso.
00:34:18Yeah, that's surprising.
00:34:19Most guys stay down perhaps for the three count
00:34:22of that particular move,
00:34:23but Big Jim really fired up tonight.
00:34:25Yeah, and it's early on in the match
00:34:27and Jimmy hasn't taken that quite amount of punishment yet.
00:34:31Now Solo, blocked by Uso,
00:34:33who delivers the right hand.
00:34:34I'll tell you right now,
00:34:35you always put a little topper
00:34:37against your own brother.
00:34:39I'll say that as a guy with an older brother myself.
00:34:42Oh, and a right hand by Solo drops Jimmy.
00:34:45A beautiful uppercut right to the jaw.
00:34:47Perfect time.
00:34:48And Atala Taga behind the official's back.
00:34:52The United States champion Solo Sokoa
00:35:03has taken over this matchup
00:35:04against his brother Jimmy Uso
00:35:05on Saturday night's main event.
00:35:07I tell you, I should bring the Cole line back
00:35:10because it has been insane out here
00:35:12at the announce table
00:35:13throughout the first portion of the show.
00:35:15It's been nuts.
00:35:15And Michael Cole's voice has gone a little higher.
00:35:18There's a reason for that.
00:35:19We'll show you in a second
00:35:20as Solo Sokoa is about to do major damage
00:35:24to the spine of Big Jim, or is he?
00:35:26Yeah, but Big Jim able to counter
00:35:28as these two battle on the apron.
00:35:31And Solo Sokoa with the right hand.
00:35:32Jimmy Uso trying to stay in this fight.
00:35:34United States Championship.
00:35:36Oh, no.
00:35:38Spine first to the post.
00:35:40There's more than one way to see that.
00:35:41And Jimmy with a kick.
00:35:42We simply cannot keep Big Jim down.
00:35:45And that'll allow the number one contender
00:35:48in the United States Championship
00:35:50to maybe rally.
00:35:51Looking for a German suplex, perhaps,
00:35:53on the apron.
00:35:54Not a move usually in the playbook.
00:35:56Oh, no.
00:35:57Under the apron.
00:35:59Solo Sokoa landed on the back of his head.
00:36:02Oh, God.
00:36:04Let's take another look at that.
00:36:07Big Jim not known for his German suplex, Arsenal,
00:36:10but when his little bro,
00:36:12his most heated rival,
00:36:14pulling out all the stops
00:36:15in pursuit of the United States Championship.
00:36:18Well, Wade, do you know how difficult it is
00:36:19to get a title opportunity
00:36:20into your career here at WWE
00:36:22when you have to capitalize?
00:36:24And Jimmy realizes that.
00:36:26Let's look about difficult.
00:36:27Well, 15 years in the making.
00:36:29Finally, you've got one.
00:36:30It might be another 15
00:36:31before you get another.
00:36:32Make it count, Big Jim.
00:36:33Jimmy with a crossbody.
00:36:35Lateral press.
00:36:36He's going to hook the leg.
00:36:38Solo and toe.
00:36:39A near fall for Jimmy Uso.
00:36:41Referee Daphne LaShawn right there.
00:36:43How frustrating is that for Big Jim,
00:36:45knowing how close he was
00:36:46to scoring his first slice
00:36:48of singles gold
00:36:50a millisecond away from victory.
00:36:53And let's not forget
00:36:54the NFTs.
00:36:56Mateo.
00:36:58Kalatonga.
00:36:59On the low out here at ringside.
00:37:01Looking on.
00:37:02Looking on.
00:37:03Menacingly lurking with intent.
00:37:05Oh, and backing it on up.
00:37:08Kalatonga has already been involved
00:37:10in this one once,
00:37:11but now Big Jim going skyward.
00:37:14To the Uso splash.
00:37:17To win the championship.
00:37:20Solo at two.
00:37:21Another near fall.
00:37:23I'll tell you what.
00:37:24Say whatever you want
00:37:25about Solo Sokoa.
00:37:26This man is a street fighting champion
00:37:29of the islands
00:37:30and he is quite simply
00:37:31double top.
00:37:33You might not like his methodology.
00:37:35You might not like who he hangs out with,
00:37:37but you have to respect
00:37:38the durability in that ring.
00:37:42And now Jimmy Uso
00:37:43perhaps lining up for the kill here.
00:37:46To put his younger brother
00:37:48Solo Sokoa away
00:37:49and take the United States
00:37:50championship goal.
00:37:52Solo looking completely
00:37:53defenseless here.
00:37:54Wobbled rocked
00:37:55and right for the take-
00:37:56Oh!
00:37:57Caught him with a big kick
00:37:58and drives Jimmy back.
00:38:00And there's the spinning.
00:38:02Solo with authority
00:38:03by Sokoa.
00:38:04What a championship level
00:38:06turnaround for Solo Sokoa
00:38:08who's looking to finish the job now.
00:38:10And the Samoan spike.
00:38:11Jimmy ducks underneath.
00:38:12Big kick to the face.
00:38:13And another one.
00:38:18And now Jimmy looking
00:38:19to go up top again.
00:38:20Solo Sokoa completely glassy-eyed.
00:38:23The body isn't cooperating.
00:38:25Jimmy heading up top.
00:38:30Solo
00:38:30going out of harm's way.
00:38:34Well done of the way
00:38:35by two of his MFTs.
00:38:37And Jimmy though
00:38:38oh!
00:38:39Cross through up the top!
00:38:41Take it out everybody!
00:38:43Uso in the win!
00:38:45Three men down!
00:38:47Three men down!
00:38:47Three men down!
00:38:47Three men down!
00:38:48Three men down!
00:39:05His body.
00:39:06But crucially,
00:39:07the body is outside the ring.
00:39:09Vital seconds being lost here
00:39:11for Jimmy Uso.
00:39:13And now Talataga
00:39:14went for the big boot.
00:39:15He's gonna run into
00:39:16a super kick by Jimmy the disqualification does not help Jimmy Uso at all here down
00:39:24goes Tala Tonga Solos Akola takes advantage Tonga helping him out solo steals it
00:39:33here's your winner and still the United States champion solo
00:39:42and now that monstrous Tala Tonga who cost Jimmy Uso the match now assaulting big Jim
00:39:51solo Sakola retains the goal what a master stroke what a master plan but perhaps the best plan at all
00:40:00is having the MFTs in your corner yeah pack of rabbit Aedas Mateo and Tonga Loa I mean this squad
00:40:10might be invincible at this point just when everybody wrote off Solo Sakola back to the top in a big way
00:40:24and a Samoan spike to his older brother Jimmy it wasn't enough to win the match
00:40:31Solo's been begging Jimmy to rejoin the family rejoin the group for the longest time
00:40:36oh oh he's back the Samoan werewolf is back Jacob Fatu taken out a couple of weeks ago by the MFTs and powerbonding through our announce table
00:40:54and now Fatu to Mateo and Jacob Fatu still not over the fact he lost the United States championship
00:41:03thanks to these MFTs Jacob is out here all gas and no brakes about to dog walk some fools and that's what Fatu is doing
00:41:13and now the massive call of Tonga yes yes
00:41:33Tonga in the ring face to face look at how he towers over Jacob Fatu
00:41:39oh my god a shade under seven feet tall
00:41:44and Jacob Fatu not backing down he's gonna unload on Talatanga
00:41:49Samoan werewolf has no clue
00:41:52but sometimes you simply aren't given an option
00:42:01and Tonga though sent over the top rope by Jacob
00:42:05werewolf's gonna fly with a suicide dive
00:42:18Jacob Fatu's war with the MFTs has just begun Wade
00:42:24oh my god that was insanity personified
00:42:28Jacob Fatu living dangerously swinging for the fences
00:42:33but if we know Solo Sokoa and the MFTs there may well be some consequences going forward for the Samoan werewolf
00:42:41you know tonight the final match in the great career of Goldberg it's been an emotional couple of weeks mentally for Goldberg
00:42:47of course he lost his father-in-law a couple of weeks ago as he looks to focus on the match tonight
00:42:52also the terrible flooding in the state of Texas which occurred just down the road from the town that me and Goldberg live in
00:42:58both of us had friends and uh family members who were involved in that tragedy uh Goldberg trying
00:43:04to put that out of his mind tonight he told his son gauge that these moments he tries to react to and
00:43:09tries to channel those emotions into what he can do in the ring it's much like the shock he had when

00:46:42the signers rick and scott scott had a number of matches over the years of course with goldberg
00:46:47scott won it fall goldberg in steel cage on nitro of course rick came with goldberg before and also
00:46:53a handful of singles matches with the icon goldberg in the main event tonight two of the baddest
00:46:59dudes in the history of this industry
00:47:14wow
00:47:29the following contest is scheduled for one fall making us win the ring being accompanied by
00:47:44wwe hall of famer the oracle paul hayman from devonport iowa weighing in 225 pounds he is the 20 25
00:47:58mr money in the bank
00:48:00that's what we're going to do
00:48:08let's not lose sight of the fact that paul hayman is of course carrying the money in the bank
00:48:14briefcase inside is a contract that seth rollins can cash in at any place at any time for a world
00:48:20championship opportunity knowing that gunther and goldberg go added in our main event in moments
00:48:26here on saturday night's main event could tonight be the night
00:48:32a briefcase that in the right hands is as good as gold and i would argue that in the hands of the
00:48:39oracle paul hayman those are exactly the circumstances by which that gets converted
00:48:46to gold in the blink of an eye keep your eyes peeled
00:49:00and here's opponent from los angeles california weighing in at 240 pounds
00:49:09al a night it's been a tumultuous week for la night and seth rollins this past monday night on raw
00:49:16our main event seth rollins and penta rollins with a stop and the win over penta and then it was a hit and
00:49:24run attack by la night who would deliver a bft to rollins and then escape before bronson and braun
00:49:33could get to him and then last night on friday night smackdown a different case this was the mega
00:49:39star post victory open to abuse and attack from two members of that power trio braun breaker
00:49:47and bronson reed your question just where the health of the megastar is right now 24 hours removed
00:49:55from that particular attack and no tape on the ribs but you have to believe that mid-section of
00:50:01la night is smarting here tonight for la night a massive opportunity against mr money in the bank
00:50:07knight said quote i want your dignity i want justice to be honest i just want to hurt you
00:50:14this all began back uh the night before money in the bank last month rollins and company targeted
00:50:21his opponents in that match including la night and wade since that moment la night has not forgotten
00:50:27well he's not forgotten he was also taken out of the king of the ring tournament thanks to attacks
00:50:32from seth rollins and crew so seth rollins and his men have really hamstrung the career of la night in
00:50:39recent months and he's not going to let that lie two-time united states champion la night battling
00:50:44the five-time world champion seth rollins oh it was a shot to the gut there registered a little too
00:50:51hard oh and a high elbow perhaps a little sign of that attack from last night coming to the four
00:50:57early here and now la night again those ribs just collapsing going for that falcon arrow or suplex and wait a
00:51:04second looking for a pedigree and la night for the bft blocked by seth rollins and while it's now
00:51:10launched outside the ring to the pool and argue beating seth freaking rollins when you're not at 100
00:51:16percent oh may not actually be possible but blocking out that pain right now apparently is the megastar
00:51:24tapping into that kevorka that is running wild in this arena rollins bounced off our announce table which has
00:51:30become a playground for our superstars here tonight
00:51:39and i don't think he's done yet rollins bounced right into our announce table yeah not quite
00:51:44enough damage was done to the announce table apparently let's finish the job why don't we
00:51:48and now la night clothesline and hit rollins hard you could hear that thump la night in control
00:51:55the body scissors applied by seth rollins here live in atlanta nearly 12 000 on hand for this match
00:52:06between rollins and la night seth taking control yeah and i don't understand the megastar's behavior
00:52:12of late i've sung his braces from the very beginning but all the kevorka in the world cannot explain why
00:52:18la night is dicing with death taking on solo sokoa's mfts on smackdown and seth rollins power trio on raw
00:52:26simultaneously i mean i give him credit it might not be a wise thing to do but you got to praise him for
00:52:32having the bravery to do it bravery is one thing how much a glutton for punishment can one man be
00:52:38everyone has their limits even megastars and we may well have found that limit tonight rollins oh and a
00:52:45knee rate to the midsection great strategy by the architect seth rollins and the visionary now
00:52:50heading up to the top rope looking to put la night away cross flash to the injured midsection and
00:52:55ribs rollins for the wind hook of the leg and a kick out and what was it la night said it was a quote
00:53:01from you i want to hurt you tonight seth rollins well that has done a complete 180 it is the megastar
00:53:07who is in severe danger here tonight thanks to this abuse from seth freaking rollins
00:53:15that's why i kept losing my song
00:53:18oh and la night blocked it right now night trying to
00:53:45fight back perhaps on adrenaline alone locked to rights and is now blocking out the clear pain
00:53:50in that midsection but it's somehow it's working tapping into that frenzy in this arena oh once
00:53:56again one shot and down is the megastar and la night with a close line and now night looking to rally
00:54:04oh what a flurry here from la night just went ddt he was looking written off as good as new
00:54:16oh and carl whose game is this yeah elbow delivered night cover
00:54:34and rollins kicks it too and this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the
00:54:40game blocking out that pain and turning this one on a six points taking full control of the match
00:54:47almost cutting away the visionary seth freaking rollins what else does la night have in store here
00:54:55and if you're rollins a lot of pressure raid you can ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're
00:55:00trying to build with this new group and breaker and reed and heyman and rollins look at the money in the
00:55:05bank briefcase you've got the oracle paul heyman the uncheckable power of reed oh you don't want
00:55:12to be the figurehead of that crew and pulling out losses when the deck was initially stacked in your
00:55:18favor la night fighting through the pain the injured midsection looking for the bfg seth rollins gonna
00:55:24make his way out to the apron burning disaster there best footwork in the game seth freaking
00:55:30rollins for the past 10 plus years can move faster than anyone when he needs to and boy did he need to
00:55:38averting danger from that bft and turning this one in his own favor and rollins went to the top rope
00:55:45la night made him pay look at concern on the face of paul heyman as heyman looks on down on the apron
00:55:51and a big shot by la night remember heyman is hooked to everything in his career
00:56:00to seth rollins constantly hooked himself to success that has been the modus operandum of paul
00:56:09heyman from the very beginning yeah ever since wrestlemania when he turned his back on roman reigns
00:56:15and now la night to the top rope night now tremendous athleticism does he have enough
00:56:20left in the core with the injured midsection no rollins able to slip underneath
00:56:27and rollins with a buckle bomb always got a solution that is the set freak of rollins way
00:56:34went for the stomp la night with rollins up and his midsection gave out again
00:56:41and rollins with a kick to the face unique suplex attempt there from la night simply didn't have
00:56:47the power left in that frame that heavily fatigued body that has absorbed so much abuse of late and
00:56:54it's about to get even worse and now rollins oh there's that flying senton springboard senton
00:56:59by rollins and now a moonsault lands on his feet may have tweaked his knee we saw set favor the knee
00:57:05this past monday may have tweaked it again and now la night with an opportunity
00:57:09rollins into the corner the official there to check on rollins no this could be a serious
00:57:16situation here rollins tweaking his knee heyman over to check on his man that is a knee that has
00:57:22been surgically repaired in the past generally heavily strapped up and that is a look of panic in
00:57:28the eye of set freaking rollins and that is not what you want to see well panic on the face of a
00:57:33paul hayman as well as as a superstar you know full well when you've done yourself a major mischief i can
00:57:40speak and look at look at this way the the doctor the ringside doctor now is over uh consulting with
00:57:46with the official on the situation with rollins and stephanie
00:57:50i'm gonna just suck the wind out of this arena well we talked about the fact he tweaked that knee
00:57:59earlier this week
00:58:01rollins uh probably backed up into the corner la night bft bft by la night cover now hook of the leg and
00:58:19night with the wind here is your winner well it's a win but it is not the kind of victory that la night
00:58:31came for tonight and that is a bleak sight seeing seth freaking rollins down and out
00:58:37and that is a truly catastrophic moment here at saturday tonight's main event
00:58:49well uh undisputed super middleweight champion canelo alvarez faces undefeated three division
00:58:54king parents bud crawford in a historic class that transcends titles at saturday september 13th at

00:59:05a bold new era in boxing register now for access to pre-sale tickets before they go on sale to the
00:59:10general public at wwe.com boxing well let's take another look at what happened to seth rollins a
00:59:18very serious situation moments ago rollins tweaking the knee once again but it appears to be much more
00:59:24serious than we first thought as you take a look at rollins now coming off the second rope looking for
00:59:30a moonsault landed on his feet his knee buckled you saw him go right to the knee he collapsed in the
00:59:35corner he told the doctor he could continue and la night would deliver the dft so best wishes to seth
00:59:42rollins uh as he's helped to the back down yeah we say it time and time again it is a dangerous world
00:59:48inside those ropes set we are hoping for the best for you um good luck and coming up next it's our main
00:59:54event an interview with cbs sports this week goldberg acknowledged the enormity of this moment he said uh

01:04:58today can we order jimmy john's i don't know i know you've worked up an appetite tonight with all of
01:05:03those reasons but what a night it has been thus far and it's about to get even better
01:05:26well ladies and gentlemen wade barrett and i had a very interesting conversation with this man the
01:05:31world champion gunther earlier today i thought he'd be more humble when i asked him the question
01:05:37about how he felt having goldberg's last match of his career yeah well you apparently frequently get
01:05:43the temperature wrong michael cole because sentimentality is a treat for weak men gunther told us i am here
01:05:51to humiliate this man who has no place in my industry i am here to extinguish this stain that is goldberg
01:06:01but good wade you have to wonder is gunther perhaps looking past the 58 year old goldberg tonight to
01:06:08the threat that looms on the horizon to possibly see a punk or maybe seth rollins depending on what
01:06:13happened with the injury tonight but is gunther looking past goldberg tonight there is a golden rule
01:06:18in the fight game the last thing a heavyweight ever loses is his punch we saw that this past monday on raw
01:06:27when goldberg dropped the ring general with a sweet right hook to the jaw
01:06:39mill and it's terrible
01:06:55bill it's come
01:06:58Power Power!
01:07:28Let's go.
01:07:58Let's go.
01:08:28Let's go.
01:08:58Let's go.
01:09:28Let's go.
01:09:33Introducing first, the challenger, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 270 pounds, WWE Hall
01:09:47of Famer, Goldberg!
01:09:52And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the world heavyweight
01:10:12champion, the ring general, Goomba!
01:10:18From a humble beginning in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a massive star on the Georgia Bulldogs football
01:10:29team, to a professional football career, to the summer of 1997 and the start of a professional
01:10:35wrestling career, and a 173-match undefeated streak, which included the biggest win of his career
01:10:43nearly 27 years ago to the day, when Goldberg in Atlanta, Georgia, defeated Hulk Hogan for
01:10:50the WCW Championship to multi-world titles in WWE.
01:10:54This is it.
01:10:55This is it.
01:10:56The final time.
01:10:57We witness the awesome intensity, the power, the greatness that is Goldberg!
01:11:03Goldberg!
01:11:04What a clash of generations of styles and legacies!
01:11:10An important note as well.
01:11:12Goldberg!
01:11:13Goldberg!
01:11:14Goldberg!
01:11:15Goldberg!
01:11:16Goldberg!
01:11:17Goldberg!
01:11:18Goldberg!
01:11:19Goldberg!
01:11:20Goldberg!
01:11:21Goldberg!
01:11:22Goldberg!
01:11:23Goldberg!
01:11:24Goldberg!
01:11:25Goldberg!
01:11:26Goldberg!
01:11:27The official in this match is the veteran Charles Robinson, the man who has refereed hundreds
01:11:32of matches in the career of Goldberg, including the historic night on July 6, 1998, when Goldberg
01:11:40defeated Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan, to win the championship here in Atlanta.
01:11:46Charles Robinson on hand for the final match of Goldberg's career.
01:11:51So, Wade, early going, what does Goldberg have to do against Gunther?
01:11:54Well, I think Jesse the Body Ventura hit the nail on the head earlier tonight.
01:11:59Goldberg has to end this quickly.
01:12:01The longer it goes, the more this will favor the big Austrian champ.
01:12:06You don't get great gas mileage when you get up there in years.
01:12:10That is an athletic rule.
01:12:12And the longer this goes for Goldberg, those opportunities of victory diminish.
01:12:18Oh!
01:12:19All right!
01:12:20Schaaf having a little effect on Goldberg, who breaks out in that trademark smile and laugh.
01:12:26Gunther said he would not be intimidated by the intensity of Goldberg.
01:12:31But it's a different story when you're face-to-face with the Hall of Famer.
01:12:34The two men who are simply built forward.
01:12:37Oh!
01:12:38But Gunther now realizing perhaps the size of the task that lies ahead of him.
01:12:44And what about the task that lies ahead of Goldberg?
01:12:46This is his first match in over three years.
01:12:49His last match, 2022.
01:12:51The Elimination Chamber here at WWE.
01:12:54And Goldberg taking the fight to Gunther.
01:12:56It's your hometown.
01:12:57Your family's here.
01:12:59Retirement hanging over you.
01:13:00The end of a career.
01:13:02You have to be a cold, ruthless fighting machine in that ring.
01:13:06But there's so much emotion bubbling inside of Goldberg.
01:13:10He has to keep that locked down.
01:13:13The big heavyweight boxer coming out of retirement.
01:13:16Does he have that one big blow left?
01:13:18Does Goldberg have one spear left?
01:13:20Does he have one jackhammer left?
01:13:22Now, you mentioned a little earlier that Goldberg had said in an interview he has physical ailments.
01:13:27One of which was that knee.
01:13:28And look at it.
01:13:29He's got a brace on the left knee.
01:13:31Well, I thought that was absolute insanity.
01:13:33You've got a prep fiend like Gunther who absorbs this kind of information.
01:13:37Immediately targeting that knee of Goldberg.
01:13:39And now the power of Goldberg sending Gunther to the center of the ring.
01:13:43And the champ's in trouble.
01:13:44Yeah, I'm impressed with Goldberg in the early going.
01:13:46That raw power coming to the fore.
01:13:48And he's stalking Gunther.
01:13:50Goldberg looking for a spear.
01:13:52And Gunther moving out of harm's way.
01:13:55And Gunther, you see the expression on Goldberg's face.
01:13:58Realize that that may have been his opportunity.
01:14:00That may have been his moment.
01:14:02Well, that's frustration on Goldberg.
01:14:04You let that chance slip away.
01:14:05You may not get another one against the competitor.
01:14:08As good, as well-rounded, as the world heavyweight champ Gunther.
01:14:12Well, I've been impressed so far with the way that Goldberg has taken the fight.
01:14:16But again, Gunther's a bad knee.
01:14:17Now a chop to Goldberg.
01:14:18And Goldberg trying to fight it off.
01:14:20Another chop by the champ.
01:14:21And I'll tell you, I've never seen anybody shrug off those chops quite like Goldberg has thus far.
01:14:27They're registering, they're stinging, but they're not dropping the big man.
01:14:30And Gunther's set toward the corner.
01:14:32Goldberg looking for a spear.
01:14:33And Goldberg through the barricade into the timekeeper's area.
01:14:37Gunther able to move out of harm's way.
01:14:39Goldberg exploding the barricade with a spear.
01:14:42And Goldberg's in trouble.
01:14:44Could be a golden opportunity for the world champ.
01:14:47Gunther has turned his attention to the injured knee.
01:14:54That brace covering the left knee of Goldberg.
01:14:57Gunther has been attacking that knee throughout the break.
01:14:59Yes, he has.
01:15:00Gunther is precision and discipline.
01:15:03Goldberg is destruction incarnate.
01:15:06And we saw that destruction against our barricade a few minutes ago.
01:15:11And it may well have destroyed Goldberg's chances in this match.
01:15:15He hasn't looked the same since.
01:15:16Goldberg trying to dig down deep.
01:15:18Final time in his career.
01:15:19In the ring.
01:15:20This time for the world title.
01:15:21And has adopted hometown of Atlanta.
01:15:24And Goldberg fighting back now.
01:15:27Goldberg's got a little bit left.
01:15:31Tapping into the energy of this hometown audience.
01:15:35One last dance for the champ.
01:15:37Yeah, right.
01:15:38The dance maybe over here.
01:15:39Right back to the knee.
01:15:41As Goldberg collapses in the ring.
01:15:44Well Gunther just did his homework.
01:15:46Did his prep work.
01:15:47And has executed almost from the word go tonight.
01:15:51That feeling out process early was all Goldberg.
01:15:54But it's changed in a big way now.
01:15:56Yeah, this match so far has been the blueprint of Gunther throughout his career.
01:16:00Intimidate.
01:16:01Come on Goldberg.
01:16:02Physically overpower.
01:16:03Come on Goldberg.
01:16:05What you gonna do?
01:16:06Trash talk.
01:16:07Embarrassed Goldberg here.
01:16:09But that may be a major error.
01:16:11From the ring general.
01:16:13Yes.
01:16:14Flurry from Goldberg.
01:16:15Not enough to drop the world heavyweight champion.
01:16:17It's hard to intimidate.
01:16:18The master of intimidation and the power.
01:16:20Five buster by Goldberg.
01:16:22On one god leg.
01:16:24There is still fight.
01:16:26And the former champion, the legend.
01:16:29He's hurting.
01:16:31He's stumbling.
01:16:32But this warrior is gonna go out on his shield tonight.
01:16:36Win, lose or draw.
01:16:38Ganga.
01:16:39Knee buckling as he used it to deliver a blow to Gunther.
01:16:42Now the body shot's in the corner.
01:16:47Gunther with a chop.
01:16:48And another one.
01:16:50The world champ exploding out of the corner.
01:16:52Goldberg is just so hampered when he gets on the offense.
01:16:55He sometimes is not able to follow up a flurry.
01:16:58Allowing the ring general to recover.
01:17:02But that may have turned the tide.
01:17:04Yeah, that's why Goldberg's gotta keep Gunther close.
01:17:06The separation does not help him.
01:17:08Goldberg notorious for those heavy hands, those heavy boots.
01:17:12And throwing it all the way of the ring general.
01:17:15Yeah, but Goldberg heavily favoring the injured knee.
01:17:19And again Gunther now.
01:17:21And Goldberg able to backbotties lock the champ.
01:17:25Russ says he was locked in for that powerbomb that Gunther is known for.
01:17:29And weighed on the stance.
01:17:31Goldberg now.
01:17:32Oh no.
01:17:33Spearing the official Charles Robinson.
01:17:36Inadvertently as Gunther moved out of harm's way.
01:17:40Oh God.
01:17:41Charles Robinson once again taking the breath of a major attack there.
01:17:46You're right.
01:17:47Completely inadvertent.
01:17:48Gunther and such was the nimble feet of the ring general.
01:17:52And now Gunther from behind right back to the knee of Goldberg.
01:17:56The official's down.
01:17:57And Gunther can do whatever he wants now.
01:18:00And we're gonna need another referee.
01:18:02Charles Robinson will not be getting up from that spear.
01:18:05And Goldberg in trouble as Gunther looks to rip the protective knee brace from the knee of the icon.
01:18:11The icon.
01:18:12Just tearing away at will now.
01:18:15Is the ring general looking to humiliate Goldberg.
01:18:19Well not just humiliate him but destroy him.
01:18:22Damage him.
01:18:23Gunther has previously been about the sport.
01:18:26Proving he's the greatest on the planet.
01:18:28This is something very different.
01:18:31Refusing to be embarrassed by the return of a former great in Goldberg.
01:18:37This is a statement from the world heavyweight champ.
01:18:41Goldberg one of the toughest men in the history of professional wrestling.
01:18:46But he has a vulnerability.
01:18:48And that of course the injured knee.
01:18:50And now the knee is exposed as Gunther begins to use the protective brace as a weapon.
01:18:56There's no official out here to stop any of this.
01:18:59Goldberg clearly out of his prime physically.
01:19:02But the mind, the body, the heart wants to fight on.
01:19:05You have to respect that.
01:19:07Right to the back of the head of Goldberg.
01:19:10Hope really beginning to slip away now.
01:19:13Of a dream ending for a legendary career.
01:19:28And Gunther now over to Florida.
01:19:31That is Bill's son Gage.
01:19:33His wife Wanda's out there as well.
01:19:35Get your ass down.
01:19:37Get your ass down.
01:19:38What do you mean? Come on.
01:19:39Get your ass down.
01:19:40Get your ass down.
01:19:42Oh, Gage's not gonna take that. He's over the barricade.
01:19:45Remember, he was at the home of this when it all began in Atlanta last year.
01:19:48When Gunther humiliated Goldberg and his family here in his hometown.
01:19:53Well, I think it's lucky for Gage and our security were on the ball for once.
01:19:57That could have ended incredibly badly for Goldberg's kick.
01:20:01And now Goldberg!
01:20:02Spear!
01:20:03Goldberg hit the spear!
01:20:04Goldberg hit the spear!
01:20:05Goldberg hit the spear on Gunther!
01:20:07Does he have something left?
01:20:09Does Goldberg have one jackhammer left?
01:20:12He does!
01:20:13My job!
01:20:14Jackhammer!
01:20:15It's up in!
01:20:16And there's a new official!
01:20:17Sean Bennett rushed into the ring!
01:20:18But again, the bad knee!
01:20:19Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away!
01:20:20Dragging himself!
01:20:21Falls into the cover!
01:20:22Shoulders down!
01:20:23Oh!
01:20:24Oh!
01:20:25Oh!
01:20:26Oh!
01:20:27Oh!
01:20:28Oh my God!
01:20:29Jackhammer!
01:20:30It's up in!
01:20:31And there's a new official!
01:20:32Sean Bennett rushed into the ring!
01:20:34But again, the bad knee!
01:20:35Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away!
01:20:38Dragging himself!
01:20:39Falls into the cover!
01:20:40Shoulders down!
01:20:41Oh!
01:20:42Oh!
01:20:43Oh!
01:20:44Oh!
01:20:45Oh!
01:20:46Oh my God!
01:20:51Oh!
01:20:54Gunther completely taking his eye off the ball!
01:20:56Thinking this was a parade, getting distracted by Goldberg's kid at ringside!
01:21:02Goldberg pouncing!
01:21:04Nailed the big one two whammy with that jackhammer with a landing on that knee!
01:21:09Revencing the pinning time!
01:21:10And that's Gunther with a sweeper!
01:21:12The sweeper locked it on Goldberg!
01:21:14The sweeper's in!
01:21:16Goldberg on tap!
01:21:17Gunther's gonna have to pass Goldberg out here!
01:21:19out here. Goldberg
01:21:21trying to fight back.
01:21:23Grabbing anything he can, but that is
01:21:2516 deep, and Goldberg
01:21:27now fading. Goldberg is fading.
01:21:30Goldberg with one
01:21:31last gas to break
01:21:33the sleeper. Goldberg fighting
01:21:35back, lost to his belly.
01:21:37Duttoner still with the sleeper locked in.
01:21:40Duttoner's got it in good.
01:21:41Goldberg doesn't have anything left.
01:21:43All that oxygen cut off, the blow
01:21:45cut off and fading. It's Goldberg.
01:21:48And Goldberg is out.
01:21:49Here is your winner
01:21:55and still
01:21:57the world heavyweight
01:21:59champion,
01:22:01the ring general,
01:22:03Goldberg!
01:22:06And with that, it's over.
01:22:08A 28-year career,
01:22:10one of the most dominant in the history
01:22:11of professional wrestling.
01:22:13An icon who's drilled millions and carried
01:22:15an industry on his back.
01:22:17For Goldberg, it's not who's
01:22:19next anymore.
01:22:21But what's next for Goldberg
01:22:24outside the ring?
01:22:25Bill, tonight, it's all about you.
01:22:44Go right ahead.
01:22:45First off, I don't think I've ever lost
01:22:47here in Atlanta, so
01:22:49I do apologize for
01:22:51going out a little subpar.
01:22:56I've got over a hundred
01:22:58friends and family that came in
01:23:00from all over the world.
01:23:02And I just got to say,
01:23:04I cannot thank you all enough.
01:23:09The fans in Atlanta
01:23:11have been absolutely wonderful.
01:23:13I love you.
01:23:15I couldn't have done it without you.
01:23:17I love you.
01:23:27Thanks.
