00:01:00Who's coming for him?
00:01:02L.A. Knight!
00:01:04The megastar has survived various attacks from that group.
00:01:08Now Knight and Rollins settle it in the ring.
00:01:12Plus, the Viper is ready to strike.
00:01:16You see him, Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
00:01:21McIntyre's taking aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:25And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:28Randy's been battling the very best, but now a long-time adversary has returned in Drew McIntyre for this Showcase event.
00:01:38Meanwhile, a family feud goes to the next level.
00:01:43Solo Sokoa, the United States Champion.
00:01:46He'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.

00:08:27you
00:08:57I'm a humanist, so I think I am watching
00:09:01If my head stays down to me, they understand
00:09:05They talk to me
00:09:07They talk to me
00:09:10They talk to me
00:09:12They talk to you
00:09:14They show me that's better
00:09:16They talk to me
00:09:18They talk to me
00:09:20They talk to me
00:09:22They talk to me
00:09:24They talk to me
00:09:27I've chosen production
00:09:29tiesign
00:09:30All the time to keep you safe
00:09:31But when it's out there
00:09:34I'm scared
00:09:36I'm scared
00:09:37I'm scared
00:09:38You should be
00:09:51I don't know.
00:10:21I'm not shocked to see these two hypocrites hanging out together.
00:10:37Let's take it back to last night on SmackDown.
00:10:39Jelly Roll was performing.
00:10:44Hey, yo, hey, yo, oh.
00:10:47The WWE doesn't need a Jelly Roll.
00:10:52The 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 loses.
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 wrinkle, 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.
00:11:44That Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:11:49Well, certainly an element of true to 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.
00:12:13And McIntyre versus Orton.
00:12:162020.
00:12:17They had an unbelievable rivalry.
00:12:21They consisted 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.
00:12:35And they, more importantly, know each other extremely well.
00:12:39They'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.
00:12:57It's so easy against most opponents.
00:12:59And McIntyre, going to deliver Orton's own move to him on the top of our announce table.
00:13:05And that's that previously dead power back.
00:13:08And Orton once again, taking the brum of the punishment in the early goings here.
00:13:12Another one to Orton, already favoring his back.
00:13:16McIntyre's dominating early here on NBC.
00:13:19We 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, Les.
00:13:45So, you'll remember at Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton.
00:13:49That suplex 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.
00:13:58Against Randy Orton, what 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.
00:14:10But he wouldn't go to the trigger against Cody Rhodes.
00:14:13Those 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 Godin' 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.
00:14:34Now Drew heading up to the top rope.
00:14:38Scottish Warrior has to roll through.
00:14:40A power slam by Randy.
00:14:44He got outwitted the first time, but he connected that time.
00:14:47Yeah, both men going counter for counter.
00:14:49Move for move here.
00:14:51Trying 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.
00:15:23Oh, and right to the throat.
00:15:25McIntyre using the distraction by Logan Paul to his advantage.
00:15:33Just goes to show you how important a corner man can be in this game.
00:15:37Orton.
00:15:41Think it's Randy Orton.
00:15:43That's raping DDT.
00:15:45And Randy's taking over.
00:15:57The Viper's ready to strike.
00:16:03And Logan Paul causing the distraction.
00:16:07Well, how vital.
00:16:10McIntyre with a Claymore 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.
00:16:30But a veteran Viper knowing exactly where he was.
00:16:33And we're having a showdown now.
00:16:35Jelly Roll on Logan Paul.
00:16:36You're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:16:40And I told you that yesterday.
00:16:42And I'm going to tell you again.
00:16:43You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:45You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:46Yeah.
00:16:47Oh, what, brother?
00:16:48I'm pushing you there.
00:16:50Logan Paul's not my jelly roll.
00:16:53And jelly roll in Paul's face as Paul tries to retreat.
00:16:57And Al McIntyre barking at the country music superstar.
00:17:04You're in a fault in 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, Mike.
00:17:11I dare you.
00:17:13Don't try much.
00:17:14I'm going to tell you.
00:17:14I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17That's what I thought.
00:17:18Nothing.
00:17:21Nothing.
00:17:22Smart move.
00:17:23Jelly roll.
00:17:24Keep the hell out of that.
00:17:25And Al McIntyre.
00:17:25No your 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.
00:17:36Here 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.
00:17:54Back 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.
00:18:04And now, Logan Paul, 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.
00:18:25Jelly Roll has seen it up.
00:18:28Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:31But he's not going to put up with his friend being picked up here tonight.
00:18:38And now Jelly Roll swinging Paul across the ring.
00:18:45And Jelly Roll right hand.
00:18:47Jelly with a right hand.
00:18:49Paul down.
00:18:50Paul is down.
00:18:51And Logan will hit him.
00:18:53Jelly Roll with a right hand.
00:19:02Woo.
00:19:02Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly.
00:19:10No!
00:19:12A Claymore by McIntyre to Jelly Roll as he was tucking on a falling Randy Orton.
00:19:18What's going to happen to you is 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 on my ball.
00:19:31That is how you think.
00:19:32Well, if you ask me, that is exactly what Jelly Roll deserves.
00:19:36Listen, Cole, I play a little key tower on my off day.
00:19:38It doesn't mean I can pack out the honky tonks.
00:19:41Stick to your leg, Jelly Roll.
00:19:44You 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.
00:19:53And all what Jelly Roll did was come to the aid of his friend.
00:19:56And he suffered a Claymore at the hands of McIntyre.
00:19:59And this is a serious situation here.
00:20:01He needs some medical help.
00:20:03If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring.
00:20:07Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre.
00:20:09Yes, Logan Paul, active competitors.
00:20:12License, licensed, credential, Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:20:17Stay out on the ring.
00:20:29Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside.
00:20:32And Jelly Roll had enough.
00:20:34And I can't quite blame him here.
00:20:36That might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was pivotal in this match
00:20:44because Drew was caught napping.
00:20:46And that RKO out of nowhere caught McIntyre to sleep for good in this one.
00:20:52Yeah, that Randy Orton, well, he would be attacked by not only the Logan Paul,
00:20:56the sneak attack with that titanium-loaded right hand dropping Randy Orton.
00:21:00And as Logan Paul teed off on a defensive sort, Jelly Roll had had enough.
00:21:05Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring.
00:21:08A beautiful right hook from Jelly Roll dropping the Maverick.
00:21:12But when you get in the ring, bad things happen.
00:21:15And the sweetest Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down.
00:21:21What did you think was going to happen to you?
00:21:24You stepped into my ring.
00:21:25You've become a target.
00:21:27The idea of what you've just done.
00:21:29Make it make sense.
00:21:30Make it make sense.
00:21:32You both play favorites.
00:21:33You both play favorites.
00:21:35You understand?
00:21:36You understand?
00:21:36You understand?
00:21:36And who's Carlisle?
00:21:37He's got a number of red.
00:21:39You can't believe it.
00:21:40You can't believe it.
00:21:40You can't believe it.
00:21:41You can't believe it.
00:21:41You can't believe it.
00:21:41You can't believe it.
00:21:42You can't believe it.
00:21:43You can't believe it.
00:21:45More on that in a moment, but tonight the Laverne family has been upgraded ringside seats
00:21:50and decked out in swag, courtesy of Jimmy John's.
00:21:53By Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:21:58Well, you just saw an irate Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
00:22:02I think if we know the history of Drew McIntyre, he is not going to let that one lie.
00:22:06Furious 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,
00:22:14and it continues tomorrow night at the all-women's premium live event, Evolution,
00:22:18where Io Scott, the women's world champion, will defend the title in the main event
00:22:23against a woman she has never lost to.
00:22:26Mommy, Brea Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the women's world title
00:22:33tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:22:35Also here tonight, the Queen of the Ring, who already has a title opportunity
00:22:42for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
00:22:46Jade Cargill is here tomorrow night.
00:22:49No hold bar versus Naomi at Evolution.
00:22:54What a reaction to the Queen.
00:22:56Oh, my!
00:22:57Wait a minute!
00:22:58Oh, wow!
00:23:01Well, it's been on-site for months now, and Naomi simply will not let this rivalry go,
00:23:08getting some cheap shots ahead of tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:23:12Well, it was Naomi who attacked Cargill months and months ago,
00:23:15costing Cargill another, a number of months of her career.
00:23:18And now, once again, blindsiding and sneak attacking Jade Cargill.
00:23:22And finally, some authorities and referees and officials down here
00:23:26to try to break things up between these two and Cargill.
00:23:29The temperature is rising between these two, and it's come unglued completely.
00:23:35Cargill with Naomi now, and Naomi's set right over on an ass table to the floor.
00:23:42Jade Cargill is irate.
00:23:45And in 24 hours, these two go no holds barred.
00:23:49Oh, man.
00:23:50Former best friends.
00:23:51Now, the absolute worst of enemies that may be bloodshed tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:24:02And Naomi now, oh!
00:24:05Off the announce table!
00:24:07Take it out, Cargill!
00:24:09Oh, my God.
00:24:10We need some more security.
00:24:11This is simply not enough.
00:24:14Absolute chaos tonight, and the thing is, Wade, tomorrow, this will all be legal.
00:24:18These two women can do whatever the hell they want to see each other.
00:24:22Well, let's be honest.
00:24:22They're doing exactly that right now.
00:24:25Perhaps, finally, a little separation.
00:24:31And now, Naomi, once again, up on our table, staring back at Naomi, Jade, that's enough.
00:24:39Now, I had a feeling that you two couldn't wait till tomorrow night.
00:24:45So, speaking of tomorrow night, I've made a little arrangement.
00:24:50Now, I was going to discuss this with you two before I made the announcement in my office, like professionals.
00:24:55But seeing as you two want to jump the gun, here it is.
00:24:59Allow 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!
00:25:23The acapella air wants the best of friends to Jade and, of course, Naomi.
00:25:29Will be the special guest referee for this no holds barred match.
00:25:40Why do the loyalties of the EST lie these days?
00:25:44As barely said a word to Jade Cargill in the past couple of months.
00:25:49And the same can be said for Naomi.
00:25:51You've got to wonder what is going through Naomi's mind as that woman, Bianca Belair, is going to be a special guest referee tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:26:06Well, tonight is also a celebration of the last match at Goldberg.
00:26:09Many of his longtime friends are here tonight, including none other than Doug Dillinger.
00:26:15Doug, 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.
00:26:25Also here tonight in the Hall of Famer, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:26:29He, of course, battled Goldberg in 1998 at Halloween Havoc Fall Brawl in 1999.
00:26:36Two of the great matches between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg.
00:26:42DDP here tonight to celebrate.
00:26:46Well, it has been a crazy night already.
00:26:48Our desk has been rearranged three times and now it's an absolute state.
00:26:51But I am so fired up to be here to see the final ever match of Goldberg.
00:26:56The world is watching.
00:26:57It's going to be huge.
00:26:58A 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.
00:27:07He says he's got a bad knee, which makes it hard to plant when he delivers the spear.
00:27:11He's got a jacked up shoulder that makes the jackhammer difficult to deliver.
00:27:15But Goldberg said this.
00:27:17I believe that my, and this is his words, quote,
00:27:20old body has one more night left in it to recreate the magic from many years ago.
00:27:26We have never seen a man quite like this.
00:27:37Who can stop him?
00:27:39And Bill Goldberg remains unbeaten.
00:27:43Who's next?
00:27:44What another mark in the win column.
00:27:4756 of 0.
00:27:4977.
00:27:51Triple digits.
00:27:52100 and 0.
00:27:54More amazing by the victory.
00:27:58The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the world championship.
00:28:10And for tonight, one last time.
00:28:15Can Goldberg do it again?
00:28:17Can he win the world heavyweight championship?
00:28:20It is adopted hometown of Atlanta.
00:28:22Or will Gunther send Goldberg out on his terms?
00:28:27We find out in our main event tonight.
00:28:31Oh, yeah!
00:28:33The following contest is set for one fall.
00:28:50And it is for the United States Championship!
00:28:57Introducing first, the challenger.
00:29:00From San Francisco, California.
00:29:02Weighed in at 261 pounds.
00:29:05Jimmy Uso!
00:29:08Jimmy Uso!
00:29:10Jimmy Uso!
00:29:11With an opportunity to win his first singles championship at WWE.
00:29:15But he's gotta beat his brother to do it.
00:29:18It's next!
00:29:18I'm the B-E-S-T, the prodigy.
00:29:41This storm is coming.
00:29:43Greatness is my destiny.
00:29:46I'm number one.
00:29:46Jimmy John's, you're the big time.
00:29:50Presented by Jimmy John's, by Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:30:00And Jimmy Uso looking to win his first singles championship in WWE.
00:30:05In what just so happens to be his little brother's first ever defense of a singles championship.
00:30:12A real family affair here.
00:30:16His opponent being accompanied by MFT.
00:30:30From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in 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 after what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:30:48Jimmy teaming with LA Knight against Solo Sokoa and JC Mateo of the MFTs that attack Max.
00:30:53And with Knife fully in control, things were looking good until the untimely arrival of one Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:31:03Appeared at ringside, a major distraction.
00:31:06And that opened the door for the massive Talat Tonga to completely wipe the megastar out.
00:31:11Amidst the chaos, though, Big Jim was ready, 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 in this tag team matchup.
00:31:30But when you look at Jimmy Uso, you look at this as a suicide mission as he stares across the ring at the entire group of MFTs.
00:31:41It's really been two weeks in a row now.
00:31:43Jimmy has scored a tag victory over Solo Sokoa on SmackDown.
00:31:48An irate Solo Sokoa now promising some swift vengeance and consequences for his big brother.
00:31:56And you're right.
00:31:57I simply don't see how in this situation, with the ring surrounded by the MFTs, Jimmy Uso can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:32:08It is for the United States Championship.
00:32:11Solo Sokoa winning the title from Jacob Patu back at Night of Champions thanks to the arrival of Talat Tonga.
00:32:17The latest member of Solo Sokoa's, quote, family.
00:32:22What a devastation Talat Tonga has helped enact on behalf of the MFTs, completely wiping out Jacob Patu last week.
00:32:31You're not coming back.
00:32:33You understand me?
00:32:35You want me?
00:32:36And here we go, Jimmy, 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.
00:32:52Only one time has Jimmy Uso had an opportunity to singles title.
00:32:55And that was in a multi-man match.
00:32:57This is his first ever one-on-one matchup for a singles championship in WWE.
00:33:02Yeah, you told me that stat earlier.
00:33:04I simply couldn't believe it.
00:33:06Under-appreciated, under-rated, but uber-talented, big Jimmy Uso needs to put the namesayers away tonight by 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 and 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.
00:33:36And again, a very irate Solo Sokoa.
00:33:38Stay right here!
00:33:40You mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night after being pinned by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:48United States Championship and prestigious title, the WCW version, of course, held by Goldberg in a number of times in his career.
00:33:56You know, the past couple of weeks for Solo to try it.
00:33:59Oh, Jimmy!
00:34:00It has been a re-accumulation of power here with his new army.
00:34:05And he expects everything to go his way.
00:34:07And it simply hasn't been the case because of Big Jim.
00:34:10Oh, and Solo Sokoa catching Jimmy up.
00:34:12Oh!
00:34:14Spitting Solo by Sokoa.
00:34:16Covering a quick kick out by Jimmy Uso.
00:34:18Yeah, that's surprising.
00:34:20Most guys stay down perhaps for the three count of that particular move.
00:34:23But Big Jim really fired up tonight.
00:34:25Yeah, and it's early on in the match and Jimmy hasn't taken that quite amount of punishment yet.
00:34:31Now Solo, blocked by Uso, delivers the right hand.
00:34:34I'll tell you right now, you always fight a little tougher against your own brother.
00:34:39I'll say that as a guy with an older brother myself.
00:34:41Oh, and a right hand by Solo, drops Jimmy.
00:34:45Beautiful uppercut right to the jaw.
00:34:47Perfect timing.
00:34:48And Atala Tonga behind the official's back.
00:34:55The United States champion, Solo Sokoa, has taken over this matchup against his brother,
00:35:05Jimmy Uso, on Saturday night's main event.
00:35:08I tell you, I should bring the coal mine back because it has been insane out here at the
00:35:13announce table throughout the first portion of the show.
00:35:15It's been nuts and 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 as Solo Sokoa is about to do major damage to the spine of Big Jim.
00:35:26Or is it?
00:35:26Yeah, but Big Jim able to counter as 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 champion.
00:35:36Oh, no.
00:35:38Spine first to the post.
00:35:40There's more than one way to...
00:35:41And Jimmy with a kick.
00:35:43We simply cannot keep Big Jim down.
00:35:45And that'll allow the number one contender in the United States championship to maybe rally.
00:35:52Looking for a German suplex, perhaps, on the apron.
00:35:55Not a move usually in the playbook.
00:35:57Oh, 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.
00:36:08Not known for his German suplex, Arsenal.
00:36:11But when his little bro, his motated rival, pulling out all the stops in pursuit of the United States championship.
00:36:18Well, Wade, you know how difficult it is to get a title opportunity into your career here in WWE.
00:36:23When you have one, you have to capitalize.
00:36:25And Jimmy realizes that.
00:36:26Let's look about difficult.
00:36:2715 years in the making.
00:36:29Finally, you've got one.
00:36:30It might be another 15 before 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.
00:36:41Reverie Daphne LaShawn right there.
00:36:43How frustrating is that for Big Jim?
00:36:45Knowing how close he was to scoring his first slice of singles gold a millisecond away from victory.
00:36:53And let's not forget the MFTs.
00:36:56Mateo.
00:36:57Calatonga on the low out here at ringside looking on.
00:37:02Looking on menacingly lurking with intent.
00:37:06Oh, it's back in and on up.
00:37:08Well, Calatonga has already been involved in this one once, but now Big Jim going skyward.
00:37:14To the Uso splash.
00:37:18To win the championship.
00:37:20Solo at two, another near fall.
00:37:23I'll tell you what.
00:37:24Say whatever you want about Solo Sokoa.
00:37:27This man is a street fighting champion of the islands.
00:37:30And he is quite simply double 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 the durability in that ring.
00:37:42And now Jimmy Uso.
00:37:44Perhaps lining up for the kill here.
00:37:47To put his younger brother Solo Sokoa away.
00:37:49And take the United States championship goal.
00:37:52Solo looking completely defenseless here.
00:37:54Wobbled, robbed, and right for the take.
00:37:56Oh!
00:37:57Caught him with a big kick and drives Jimmy back.
00:38:00And there's the spinning.
00:38:02Solo with authority by Sokoa.
00:38:04What a championship level turnaround for Solo Sokoa.
00:38:08Who's looking to finish the job now.
00:38:10With a Samoan spike.
00:38:11Jimmy ducks underneath.
00:38:12Big kick to the face.
00:38:15And another one.
00:38:18And now Jimmy looking to go up top again.
00:38:21Solo Sokoa completely glassy-eyed.
00:38:23The body isn't cooperating.
00:38:28Jimmy heading up top.
00:38:30Solo.
00:38:32Rolling out of harm's way.
00:38:34Hopped out of the way by two of his MFTs.
00:38:37And Jimmy though.
00:38:39Oh!
00:38:39Costly at the top.
00:38:41Take it out everybody.
00:38:43Uso in the win.
00:38:45Three men down.
00:38:47Three men down.
00:38:48Three men down.
00:39:01Three men down.
00:39:01Three men down.
00:39:01Three men down.
00:39:04Three men down.
00:39:06His body.
00:39:06But crucially the body is outside the ring.
00:39:09Vital seconds being lost here for Jimmy Uso.
00:39:13And now Talatanga went for the big boot.
00:39:15He's gonna run into a super kick by Jimmy.
00:39:19And the disqualification does not help Jimmy Uso at all here.
00:39:22And another big punt.
00:39:24Down goes Talatanga.
00:39:26Solo Sokoa takes advantage, Tonga helping him out, Solo steals it.
00:39:33Here's your winner, and still, the United States champion, Solo Sokoa.
00:39:42And now that monstrous Tala Tonga, who cost Jimmy Uso the match, now assaulting Big Jim.
00:39:49Solo Sokoa retains the goal, what a master stroke, what a master plan,
00:39:57but perhaps the best plan at all is having the MFTs in your corner.
00:40:03Yeah, pack of rabid Aedas, Mateo and Tonga Loa.
00:40:09And this squad might be invincible at this point, just when everybody wrote off Solo Sokoa back to the top
00:40:19in a big way.
00:40:24And a Samoan spike to his older brother Jimmy.
00:40:28It 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.
00:40:37Oh!
00:40:38Oh!
00:40:40It's back!
00:40:41The Samoan werewolf is back!
00:40:44Jacob Fartu!
00:40:48Taken out a couple of weeks ago by the MFTs who powerbonded through our announce table!
00:40:55And now Fartu to Mateo, and Jacob Fartu, still not over the fact he lost the United States
00:41:01Championship.
00:41:03Thanks to these MFTs, Jacob is out here.
00:41:06All gas and no brakes!
00:41:09About to dog walk some fools!
00:41:12And that's what Fartu is doing!
00:41:15And now the massive color Tonga!
00:41:19Yes!
00:41:21Yes!
00:41:21Yes!
00:41:21Tonga in the ring face-to-face!
00:41:36Look at how he towers over Jacob Fartu!
00:41:39Oh my God!
00:41:40A shade under seven feet tall!
00:41:44And Jacob Fartu not backing down!
00:41:47He's going to unload on Talatanga!
00:41:49Samoan werewolf has no clue!
00:41:51Oh!
00:41:51It's a black girl, but sometimes you simply aren't given an option!
00:41:57One, two, three, two!
00:41:59And Tagano set over the top rope by Jacob!
00:42:05Werewolf's going to fly with a suicide dive!
00:42:18Jacob Fartu's war!
00:42:20With the MFTs has just begun, Wade!
00:42:25Oh my God!
00:42:26That was insanity personified!
00:42:29Jacob Fartu living dangerously!
00:42:32Swinging for the fences!
00:42:34But if we know Solo Sokoa and the MMPs, there may well be some consequences going forward for the Samoan Werewolf!
00:42:42You know, tonight, the final match in the great career of Goldberg.
00:42:45It's been an emotional couple of weeks mentally for Goldberg.
00:42:48Of 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.
00:42:59Both of us had friends and family members who were involved in that tragedy.
00:43:03Goldberg trying to put that out of his mind tonight.
00:43:06He told his son, Gage, that these moments he tries to react to and tries to channel those emotions into what he can do in the ring.
00:43:13It's much like the shock he had when he went from WCW to WWE.
00:43:27Goldberg on Raw!
00:43:29He is doing superhuman!
00:43:32What intensity!
00:43:37Goldberg has climbed to the top of the most elite mountain!
00:43:43Goldberg!
00:43:45Goldberg!
00:43:45Goldberg!
00:43:45Turned back the clock!
00:43:48Goldberg's the Universal Champion!
00:43:51It's all, pal!
00:43:52Who?
00:43:54And!
00:43:55He's an icon!
00:43:56A two-time Universal Champion!
00:44:00The indonible Goldberg!
00:44:04Goldberg!
00:44:05Goldberg!
00:44:07Goldberg!
00:44:08Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight in our main event,
00:44:10it is the final match in the iconic career of Goldberg,
00:44:13but he go out a champion.
00:44:15Goldberg versus Gunther for the world title tonight.
00:44:19And earlier tonight,
00:44:20the situation between
00:44:21Jelly Roll and Logan Paul
00:44:24and Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:44:27Coming up next,
00:44:28an exclusive interview with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:44:31Saturday night's main event.
00:44:32We're on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:44:39And Saturday night's main event in Atlanta
00:44:42is presented by Jimmy John.
00:44:44Trying Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:44:48Jelly Roll got toasted earlier tonight.
00:44:51Let's show you what happened after Randy Orton
00:44:52knocked off Drew McIntyre.
00:44:54Logan Paul would come in,
00:44:55and the titanium loaded!
00:44:56Right hand would take out Orton.
00:44:57Dropping the Viper,
00:44:59then coming along to Pete the Bones,
00:45:00always ready to make a name for himself
00:45:02out of someone else's expense.
00:45:04Jelly Roll was not having that, though.
00:45:06Nice block,
00:45:07and a sweet right hand to the Maverick,
00:45:09dropping the social media megastar.
00:45:12Yeah, but McIntyre from out of nowhere
00:45:13with a Claymore tilt,
00:45:15turning Jelly's brain to Jelly,
00:45:17as Drew McIntyre had a number of things to say
00:45:20to the superstar.
00:45:21What do you think is going to happen to you?
00:45:23You step into my ring,
00:45:25you've become a target.
00:45:26You're going to remember this guy.
00:45:29You screwed what Drew McIntyre.
00:45:31What the hell are you thinking?
00:45:32He got it on my wall.
00:45:33He got it on your wall.
00:45:35What the hell are you thinking?
00:45:36What the hell are you thinking?
00:45:38Damn it, man.
00:45:39I'm sorry.
00:45:39I should have never hedged you out there.
00:45:41That's on me.
00:45:42I know better.
00:45:43I know better.
00:45:44Jelly, good to see you up right after that gnarly Claymore.
00:45:47Randy, I was hoping I could get a comment
00:45:49on everything that transpired both last night and tonight.
00:45:53I put my man in harm's way, Kathy.
00:45:55It's as simple as that.
00:45:56I should have never had him out there with Drew
00:45:58and even Logan out there.
00:45:59That was just a bad call on my part.
00:46:01I apologize.
00:46:02No, no, no.
00:46:03I can't let you do that, Randy.
00:46:04I'm a grown man.
00:46:06But, man, they have gravely underestimated me.
00:46:09They think I'm soft.
00:46:11I'm not Randy.
00:46:12I want them.
00:46:13I want them both.
00:46:15Anywhere, anytime.
00:46:17All right, all right.
00:46:18I'm feeling that.
00:46:18I'm feeling that.
00:46:19You know what?
00:46:20I do got a word for you, Kathy.
00:46:22And that word is SummerSlam.
00:46:26What's that saying?
00:46:28You and me.
00:46:29The revenge I want.
00:46:30That's what I'm talking about.
00:46:32What is it, RK Roll?
00:46:33RK Roll.
00:46:34I like it.
00:46:35I like it.
00:46:37RK Roll SummerSlam.
00:46:39I don't like it at all.
00:46:40Well, nonetheless, the Hall of Famers are out tonight.
00:46:42The Steiners, Rick and Scott.
00:46:44Scott had a number of matches over the years, of course, with Goldberg.
00:46:47Scott won it for Goldberg.
00:46:49Goldberg in a steel cage on Nitro.
00:46:51Of course, Rick came with Goldberg before.
00:46:53And also, a handful of singles matches with the icon, Goldberg, in the main event tonight.
00:46:59Two of the baddest dudes in the history of this industry.
00:47:02Goldberg in a steel cage.
00:47:32The following contest is scheduled for a one fall, making its win the ring, being accompanied
00:47:44by WWE Hall of Famer, the Oracle, Paul Heyman, from Statenport, Iowa, weighing into 225 pounds.
00:47:54He is the 2025 Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Brickin' Rollins!
00:48:05Let's not lose sight of the fact that Paul Heyman is, of course, carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:48:15Inside is a contract that Seth Rollins can cash in at any place at any time for a world championship
00:48:21opportunity.
00:48:22Knowing that Gunther and Goldberg, who added in our main event in moments here on Saturday
00:48:27night's main event, could tonight be the night?
00:48:32A briefcase that in the right hands is as good as gold.
00:48:37And I would argue that in the hands of the Oracle, Paul Heyman, those are exactly the circumstances
00:48:44by which that gets converted to gold in the blink of an eye.
00:48:48Keep your eyes peeled.
00:48:51And here's a Conan, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240 pounds.
00:49:09It's been a tumultuous week for L.A. Knight and Seth Rollins this past Monday night on Raw.
00:49:17Our main event, Seth Rollins and Penta.
00:49:20Rollins with a stomp and the win over Penta.
00:49:22And then it was a hit-and-run attack by L.A. Knight, who would deliver a BFT to Rollins
00:49:30and an escape before Bronson and Braun could get to him.
00:49:34And then last night on Friday night, SmackDown, a different case.
00:49:37This was the Megastar post-victory, open to abuse and attack from two members of that
00:49:45power trio, Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed.
00:49:49You question just where the health of the Megastar is right now, 24 hours removed from
00:49:56that particular attack.
00:49:58And no tape on the ribs.
00:49:59But you have to believe that midsection of L.A. Knight is smarting here tonight.
00:50:03For L.A. Knight, a massive opportunity against Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:50:08Knight said, quote, I want your dignity.
00:50:10I want justice, to be honest.
00:50:12I just want to hurt you.
00:50:13This all began back the night before Money in the Bank last month.
00:50:20Rollins and company targeted his opponents in that match, including L.A. Knight.
00:50:24And wait since that moment, L.A. Knight has not forgotten.
00:50:27Well, he's not forgotten.
00:50:28He was also taken out of the King of the Ring tournament, thanks to attacks from Seth Rollins
00:50:33and Chris.
00:50:34So Seth Rollins and his men have really hamstrung the career of L.A. Knight in recent months.
00:50:40And he's not going to let that lie.
00:50:42Two-time United States champion L.A. Knight battling the five-time world champion Seth Rollins.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:49It was a shot to the gut there.
00:50:50Registered a little too hard.
00:50:52Oh, and a high elbow.
00:50:54Perhaps a little sign of that attack from last night coming to the four early here.
00:50:58And now L.A. Knight.
00:51:00Again, those ribs just collapsing.
00:51:02Going for that falcon arrow or suplex.
00:51:04And wait a second.
00:51:05Looking for a pedigree and L.A. Knight for the BFT blocked by Seth Rollins.
00:51:10And Rollins now launched outside the ring to the floor.
00:51:12Don't argue beating Seth freaking Rollins when you're not at 100%.
00:51:17Oh!
00:51:18May not actually be possible, but blocking out that pain right now apparently is the megastar
00:51:24tapping into that Kvorka that is running wild in this arena.
00:51:29Rollins bounced off our announce table, which has become a playground for our superstars here tonight.
00:51:34And I don't think he's done yet.
00:51:41Rollins bounced right into our announce table.
00:51:44Yeah, not quite enough damage was done to the announce table apparently.
00:51:47Let's finish the job, why don't we?
00:51:49And now L.A. Knight clothesline and hit Rollins hard.
00:51:52You could hear that thump.
00:51:54L.A. Knight in control.
00:51:57Ian Peacock.
00:51:58The body scissors applied by Seth Rollins here, live in Atlanta.
00:52:03Nearly 12,000 on hand for this match between Rollins and L.A. Knight.
00:52:09Seth's taking control.
00:52:10Yeah, and I don't understand the megastar's behavior of late.
00:52:12I've sung his praises from the very beginning, but all the Kvorka in the world cannot explain
00:52:17why L.A. Knight is dicing with death, taking on Solo Sokoa's MFTs on SmackDown
00:52:23and Seth Rollins' power trio on Raw simultaneously.
00:52:27I mean, I can't even credit.
00:52:28It might not be a wise thing to do, but you've got to praise him for having the bravery to do it.
00:52:34Bravery is one thing.
00:52:35How much of a glutton for punishment can one man be?
00:52:39Everyone has their limits, even megastars, and we may well have found that limit tonight.
00:52:44Rollins, oh, and a knee rate to the midsection.
00:52:47Great strategy by the architect, Seth Rollins, and the visionary now.
00:52:51Heading up to the top rope, looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:52:54Cross flash to the injured midsection and ribs.
00:52:56Rollins for the win, hook to the leg, and a kick out.
00:52:59And what was it L.A. Knight said?
00:53:01It was a quote from you.
00:53:02I want to hurt you tonight, Seth Rollins.
00:53:04Well, that has done a complete 180.
00:53:06It is the megastar who is in severe danger here tonight,
00:53:10thanks to this abuse from Seth Freakin' Rollins.
00:53:22WWE fans here chanting L.A. Knight as Rollins looks to quiet the masses.
00:53:30Chance can help.
00:53:31Chance can pull you through, but...
00:53:33But at the end of the day, they're still singing my song.
00:53:36Anybody ever chanting?
00:53:38No, they're chanting for their opponents.
00:53:39That's why I kept losing.
00:53:40My song!
00:53:43Oh, and L.A. Knight blocked it right.
00:53:45Now Knight trying to fight back.
00:53:46Perhaps on adrenaline alone.
00:53:48Blocked it right, and is now blocking out the clear pain in that midsection.
00:53:52But somehow it's working.
00:53:54Tapping into that frenzy in this arena.
00:53:56Oh, once again, one shot and down is the megastar.
00:54:00And L.A. Knight with a close line.
00:54:03And now Knight looking to rally.
00:54:07Oh, and a neckbreaker.
00:54:08Oh, what a flurry here from L.A. Knight just went.
00:54:11DDT!
00:54:12He was looking written off.
00:54:15As good as new.
00:54:17And Carl, whose game is this?
00:54:26L.A. Knight!
00:54:28Yeah!
00:54:29Elbow delivered!
00:54:31Knight cover!
00:54:34And Rollins kicks it too!
00:54:36And this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the game.
00:54:41Blocking out that pain and turning this one on a six-pence.
00:54:45Taking full control of the match.
00:54:47Almost!
00:54:48Cutting away the visionary Seth Freakin' Rollins.
00:54:53What else does L.A. Knight have in store here?
00:54:56And if you're Rollins, a lot of pressure, Wade.
00:54:58You can ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're trying to build with this new group.
00:55:02You can break during Reed and Heyman and Rollins.
00:55:05Look at the money in the bank briefcase.
00:55:06You've got the Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:55:08The uncheckable power of Reed.
00:55:10Oh!
00:55:11And Breaker!
00:55:12You don't want to be the figurehead of that crew and pulling out losses when the deck was initially stacked in your favor.
00:55:19L.A. Knight fighting through the pain.
00:55:20The injured midsection looking for the BFG.
00:55:22Seth Rollins gonna make his way out to the apron.
00:55:26Burding disaster there.
00:55:28Best footwork in the game.
00:55:30Seth Freakin' Rollins for the past 10 plus years can move faster than anyone when he needs to.
00:55:36And boy, did he need to.
00:55:39Averting danger from that BFT and turning this one in his own favor.
00:55:44And Rollins went to the top rope.
00:55:45L.A. Knight made him pay.
00:55:46Look at concern on the face of Paul Heyman.
00:55:48As Heyman looks on down on the apron.
00:55:52And a big shot by L.A. Knight.
00:55:55Remember, Heyman is hooked to everything in his career.
00:56:01To Seth Rollins.
00:56:03Constantly hooked himself to success.
00:56:06That has been the modus operandum of Paul Heyman from the very beginning.
00:56:10Yeah, ever since Wrestlemania when he turned his back on Roman Reigns.
00:56:15And now L.A. Knight to the top rope.
00:56:17Knight now.
00:56:19Tremendous athleticism.
00:56:20Does he have enough left in the core with the injured midsection?
00:56:23No.
00:56:24Rollins able to slip underneath.
00:56:27And Rollins with a buckle bomb.
00:56:31Always got a solution.
00:56:33That is the Seth Freakin' Rollins way.
00:56:35Went for the stomp L.A. Knight.
00:56:36With Rollins up.
00:56:39And his midsection gave out again.
00:56:42And Rollins with a kick to the face.
00:56:44Unique suplex attempt there from L.A. Knight.
00:56:46Simply didn't have the power left in that frame.
00:56:49That heavily fatigued body.
00:56:52That has absorbed so much abuse of late.
00:56:54And it's about to get even worse.
00:56:56And now Rollins.
00:56:57Oh, and there's that flying senton.
00:56:58Springboard senton by Rollins.
00:57:00And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:57:02May have tweaked his knee.
00:57:04We saw Seth Freakin' the knee this past Monday.
00:57:06May have tweaked it again.
00:57:08And now L.A. Knight with an opportunity.
00:57:10Rollins into the corner.
00:57:11The official there to check on Rollins.
00:57:12Oh, no.
00:57:14This could be a serious situation here.
00:57:18Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:57:19Heyman over to check on his man.
00:57:21That is a knee that has been surgically repaired in the past.
00:57:25Generally heavily strapped up.
00:57:27And that is a look of panic in the eye of Seth Freakin' Rollins.
00:57:31And that is not what you want to see.
00:57:32Well, panic on the face of Paul Heyman as well.
00:57:36As a superstar, you know full well when you've done yourself a major mischief.
00:57:40I can speak for that.
00:57:40And look at this, Wade.
00:57:41The doctor.
00:57:43The ringside doctor now is over consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins and Seth's knee.
00:57:53He must just suck the wind out of this arena.
00:57:56Well, we talked about the fact he tweaked that knee earlier this week.
00:58:01Rollins' a hobbling back up into the corner.
00:58:14L.A. Knight.
00:58:14B.F.T.
00:58:15B.F.T.
00:58:16By L.A. Knight.
00:58:17Cover now.
00:58:18Hook of the leg.
00:58:19And Knight with the win.
00:58:23Here is your winner.
00:58:25L.A. Knight.
00:58:27Well, it's a win, but it is not the kind of victory that L.A. Knight came for tonight.
00:58:33And that is a bleak sight seeing Seth Freakin' Rollins down and out.
00:58:39And that is a truly catastrophic moment here at Saturday night's main event.
00:58:49Well, undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez faces undefeated three-division king Terrence Bud Crawford
00:58:56in a historic class that transcends titles at Saturday, September 13th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:59:02This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that marks the beginning of a bold new era in boxing.
00:59:07Register now for access to pre-sale tickets before they go on sale to the general public at WWE.com slash boxing.
00:59:14Well, let's take another look at what happened to Seth Rollins.
00:59:18A very serious situation moments ago.
00:59:21Rollins tweaking the knee once again, but it appears to be much more serious than we first thought.
00:59:26As you take a look at Rollins now, coming off the second rope, looking for a moonsault.
00:59:31Landed on his feet, his knee buckled.
00:59:33You saw him go right to the knee.
00:59:34He collapsed in the corner.
00:59:36He told the doctor he could continue, and L.A. Knight would deliver the VFT.
00:59:41So, best wishes to Seth Rollins as he's helped to the back now.
00:59:46Yeah, we say it time and time again.
00:59:47It is a dangerous world inside those ropes, Seth.
00:59:50We are hoping for the best for you.
00:59:52Good luck.
00:59:53And coming up next, it's our main event.
00:59:55An interview with CBS Sports this week.
00:59:57Goldberg acknowledged the enormity of this moment.
01:00:00He said, not many people have the opportunity to go out on their own terms.
01:00:05That is a quote.
01:00:06So, this is truly a privilege for me tonight.
01:00:09Up next, Goldberg, Gunther, for the world title.
01:00:18Gunther, a few months ago, you started something with me and my family in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:00:27Gage, I really hope for you that Bill is a better father than he is a professional wrestler.
01:00:34I am going to make sure that I ended in Atlanta, Georgia, Saturday night, main event.
01:00:48You're next.
01:00:51I am next.
01:00:58Usually being next means getting speared, jackhammer, one, two, three.
01:01:05But it is not 1999 anymore.
01:01:08And right now, I'm the guy.
01:01:14Bill Goldberg is not capable of taking the World Heavyweight Championship away from me.
01:01:19At Saturday night's main event, I'm going to bully you.
01:01:23And the myth of Bill Goldberg forever dies.
01:01:28I don't care if I've got one foot in the grave.
01:01:44Nobody's ever going to talk to me like that.
01:01:49Gunther, you're next.
01:01:53The legendary WWE Hall of Famer will make his final walk to the ring
01:02:02as Goldberg is set to class with the ring general, Gunther,

01:04:14Breaking news now.
01:04:16You heard Jelly Roll saying earlier tonight that he wants Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
01:04:20Well, he's going to get his wish.
01:04:21It's going to happen at SummerSlam.
01:04:23Tag Team matchup.
01:04:24Randy Orton teaming with Jelly Roll against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul at SummerSlam.
01:04:32All the stars that are here tonight, including this man, 2 Chainz, Atlanta-based rapper,
01:04:42Grammy Award winner, multi-platinum, 2 Chainz getting set for our main event.
01:04:46It's Saturday night's main event.
01:04:51It's Saturday night's main event.
01:04:53This is presented by Jimmy John's.
01:04:55Try Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
01:04:59Can we order Jimmy John's?
01:05:01I know you've worked up an appetite tonight with all of those reads,
01:05:05but what a night it has been thus far, and it's about to get even better.
01:05:12Ladies and gentlemen, Wade Barrett and I had a very interesting conversation with this man,
01:05:32the world champion, Gunther, earlier today.
01:05:34I thought he'd be more humble when I asked him the question about how he felt having Goldberg's last match of his career.
01:05:42Yeah, well, you apparently frequently get the temperature wrong, Michael Cole,
01:05:45because sentimentality is a treat for weak men.
01:05:49Gunther told us,
01:05:51I am here to humiliate this man who has no place in my industry.
01:05:56I am here to extinguish this stain that is Goldberg for good.
01:06:02Wade, you have to wonder, is Gunther perhaps looking past the 58-year-old Goldberg tonight
01:06:08to the threat that looms on the horizon of possibly CM Punk or maybe Seth Rollins,
01:06:13depending on what happened with the injury tonight.
01:06:14But is Gunther looking past Goldberg tonight?
01:06:17There is a golden rule in the fight game.
01:06:20The last thing a heavyweight ever loses is his punch.
01:06:24We saw that this past Monday on Raw when Goldberg dropped the ring general

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