00:00:00Together.
00:00:30And we're talking about this spectacle.
00:00:32Saturday Night's Main Event is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:00:36Try Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:00:40A 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.
00:00:53And 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.
00:01:05The 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.
00:01:16You see him, Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
00:01:21McIntyre's taken aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:25And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:28Randy's been battling the very best.
00:01:30But now, a long-time adversary has returned in Drew McIntyre for this Showcase event.
00:01:39Meanwhile, 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.
00:01:55Jimmy Uso is out to claim his first singles title in his long WWE career.
00:02:01Then, there's the World Heavyweight Championship main event.
00:02:05Gunther crossed the line, made things personal here in Atlanta.
00:02:08And now he has to defend his title against Georgia's Barrio hometown legend.
00:02:17The man who won a championship here all those years ago.
00:02:21It'll be the last ride for Goldberg.
00:02:23It's the next edition of Saturday Night's Main Event with Goldberg's Last Ride right now.
00:02:44Saturday Night Live will not be seen tonight.
00:02:46So we can bring you the following entertainment special.
00:02:54It's Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:02:56And the pleasure is all yours.
00:02:59I was rowdy before rowdy was cool.
00:03:02We got a new Intercontinental Champion.
00:03:04But you talk, then money walk.
00:03:06Rest in peace.
00:03:08When you talk about a hot ticket, you've got him right here on Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:03:13The electricity that's in the air, you can cut it with a knife.
00:03:32One of the most popular programs in the history of television.
00:03:38RKO!
00:03:39I'm pumped up.
00:03:40I'm excited.
00:03:41It's Saturday Night.
00:03:43Main Event.
00:03:48Saturday Night.
00:03:50Main Event.
00:03:52I end it in Atlanta.
00:03:56The greatest champion in WCW history.
00:04:00You got there?
00:04:02You're next.
00:04:04No.
00:04:06RKO!
00:04:07RKO!
00:04:09RKO!
00:04:10RKO!
00:04:10RKO!
00:04:11RKO!
00:04:11RKO!
00:04:12RKO!
00:04:12RKO!
00:04:13These are the nights that define legacies that alter the course of WWE history.
00:04:27Look at this scene here at State Farm Arena here in Atlanta for Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:04:32Good evening, everybody thrilled that you're with us as always right here in primetime at NBC.
00:04:37Joe Tessitore and Jesse the Body Ventura.
00:04:42Always great to be with you, Jesse.
00:04:44And you're incredibly equipped to analyze what's going to happen here tonight with Goldberg in action.
00:04:50You got to go back to 1998 when he won a world championship here.
00:04:55He's still going.
00:04:56What do you expect?
00:04:58Well, Mean Joe, I'll tell you this.
00:05:02What I expect is this.
00:05:04Goldberg's going to have to battle his age no matter what.
00:05:07He has got to win quick.
00:05:09He has got to win early, in my opinion.
00:05:13The longer the bout goes, the advantage goes to Gunther.
00:05:17No doubt about it.
00:05:18Now, you called Drew McIntyre's last match we saw.
00:05:21He's back.
00:05:22He faces Randy Orton tonight.
00:05:23What's your quick read on that?
00:05:25Well, my quick read is, I know Randy's father well, I've teamed up with him, and the apple don't fall far from the tree.
00:05:33McIntyre and them are in for a war.
00:05:36Why do you think I wore my war hat tonight?
00:05:38Oh, I like that.
00:05:39We'll get into that a little bit later on, but right now, the men who will call the action.
00:05:43The great Michael Poole and Wade Barrett.
00:05:46Gentlemen, take it away!
00:05:47Thanks a lot, guys.
00:05:48We are so excited to be here tonight, and honored and privileged to be a part of calling the final match
00:05:53of the iconic career of Goldberg.
00:05:55Yeah, it's Hotlanza, it's the Dirty South, and we are ready to get down and dirty
00:06:00with a majorly stacked chart here on Saturday night's main event.
00:06:05Why not kick things off with Orton and McIntyre.
00:06:23I like that.
00:06:24I like that.
00:06:25Let's play it.
00:06:26We all have fun, and we are so excited.
00:06:28We all have fun.
00:06:29We're so excited.
00:06:30We're so excited.
00:06:31I know it's a little bit.
00:06:32You all have fun.
00:06:33Let's play it.
00:06:34Let's play it.
00:06:35Can't work in my peace, I'm screaming
00:06:39And the way I say
00:06:42Can't sit down with my face
00:06:45I'm happy to say I'm sitting
00:06:47I'm happy to be with you
00:06:50I'm family, I'm family, I'm family
00:06:57I'm family, I'm family
00:07:00I'm family, I'm family
00:07:02The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:07:31Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by a four-time Grammy-nominated mystery artist, Jelly Roll.
00:07:39From St. Louis, Missouri, weaning at 280 pounds, the Viper, Randy Orton!
00:07:53Randy Orton and Jelly Roll bonding last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:07:58We'll show you what happened in just a little bit, but Randy Orton kicking us off tonight in front of nearly 12,000 in Atlanta for Saturday Night's main event.
00:08:08At the end of the night, they talked to me, they hurt you too, they talked to me, they talked to me.
00:08:18Think to me, they looked at how I feel to show me things, I'll take you in, they talked to me, they talked to me, they talked to me.
00:11:22This is a man who claims he has evolved over the past decades and a half here in WWE
00:11:29none other than the scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:11:33He's been chastising Randy Orton for a couple of weeks now claiming that Randy could not pull
00:11:40the trigger against Cody Rhodes and their big matchup.
00:11:44that Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:11:49was certainly an element of true for what drew mcintyre said and it clearly hit a raw nerve
00:11:55with randy orton who probably rko'd mcintyre one week ago hence mcintyre's retort with last
00:12:03night's claymore one for one now for the renewal of a great all-time rivalry here tonight with
00:12:08mcintyre and randy orton their first match one-on-one was back in 2011 mcintyre versus
00:12:15or 2020 they had an unbelievable rivalry
00:12:19they didn't consist of a summer slam match in an ambulance match and randy orton a hell in a cell
00:12:29and mcintyre winning a no disqualification to no count out tremendous history between these two
00:12:33fade two men you know extremely well yeah and they more importantly know each other extremely well
00:12:39they're acutely aware of how dangerous their opponent is this evening mcintyre sent over
00:12:45the top rope and now randy orton the viper staring down logan paul and orton now went for that
00:12:54classic back suplex to mcintyre so so easy as most opponents mcintyre gonna deliver orton's own move
00:13:03to him on the top of our announce table and that's that previously our back of orton once again
00:13:09taking the brunt of the punishment in the early goings here another one to orton already favoring
00:13:15his back mcintyre dominating early here on mbc
00:13:19we are back on saturday night's main event nearly 12 000 in attendance tonight state farm arena atlanta
00:13:28georgia kicking off the night with a renewal of a great rivalry randy orton and drew mcintyre
00:13:33randy orton starting to fight back in this match but mcintyre sending randy into the corner again
00:13:38the lower back has been the target yeah absolutely and logan paul clearly looking on enjoying what
00:13:43he's seeing jelly roll less so well you'll remember at night of champions cody rhodes against randy orton
00:13:49that superplex in the early goings tweak the lower back of the viper we saw it the world saw it i
00:13:55guarantee you drew mcintyre saw it too what happened to you mcintyre questioning what has
00:14:04happened to randy orton we mentioned earlier mcintyre questioning whether or not randy had
00:14:09the killer instinct anymore when he wouldn't go pull the trigger against cody rhodes those eyes of
00:14:14the viper just narrowed somewhat and randy exploded out of the corner with a close line and here comes
00:14:21the wwe's apex predator well rarely a good idea to start goading the viper but nice move there from
00:14:28mcintyre putting the break zone the glasgow kiss by mcintyre launched out to the apron
00:14:33and now drew heading up to the top rope deep scottish warrior has to roll through power slam by randy
00:14:41he got outwitted the first time but he connected that time yeah both men going counter for counter
00:14:49move for move here trying to second guess their opponent the entire time and wait up it might be
00:14:54payback time and now it's randy orton to mcintyre and randy orton gonna make mcintyre pay a second time
00:15:04and i don't believe the viper's done yet a third time mcintyre on the announce table and now randy
00:15:14orton staring down logan paul and logan is caught between orton and jelly roll logan took a fair few
00:15:20cheap shots at randy orton last night oh and right right to the right to the throat mcintyre using
00:15:26the 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
00:15:40orton
00:15:40orton
00:15:40that draping ddt and randy's taking over
00:15:46the viper's ready to strike
00:15:59and logan paul causing a distraction well how vital mcintyre with a claymore to randy orton
00:16:13hook of the leg randy able to get his foot on the bottom rope before a count of three
00:16:18referee sean bennett in perfect position as we take another look just utter devastation
00:16:24from mcintyre the fix was in the distraction from logan paul a flush claymore but a veteran viper
00:16:31knowing exactly where he was and they're having a showdown now jelly roll and logan paul
00:16:36you're in my wrong arena buddy and i told you that yesterday and i'm going to tell you again

00:17:48With an RKO out of nowhere
00:17:50Knocks off McIntyre
00:17:53Now to the issue with Jelly Roll
00:17:56And Logan Paul
00:17:57Here at ringside
00:17:59Well that was a major distraction
00:18:01From the outside
00:18:02From Jelly Roll
00:18:03He needs to stick to music
00:18:04And now
00:18:05One lucky punch
00:18:07To the jaw
00:18:09Of Randy Orton
00:18:10And now Logan Paul
00:18:11Unloading on Orton
00:18:13Paul with that big right hand
00:18:16Connecting
00:18:17Jelly Roll has seen enough
00:18:27Jelly Roll is not a fighter
00:18:31But he's not going to put up
00:18:34With his friend being
00:18:35Being up here tonight
00:18:37And now Jelly Roll
00:18:38Swinging Paul across the ring
00:18:40And Jelly Roll
00:18:46Right hand
00:18:47Jelly with a right hand
00:18:49Paul down
00:18:50Paul is down
00:18:51And Paul's gonna go in here
00:18:56And he's gonna play
00:19:00Jelly Roll
00:19:00Jelly Roll
00:19:01Jelly Roll
00:19:03Jelly Roll
00:19:04Jelly Roll
00:19:05Jelly Roll
00:19:06Jelly Roll
00:19:07No!
00:19:10A playmore
00:19:13By McIntyre
00:19:15To Jelly Roll
00:19:16as he was checking on a falling Randy Orton!
00:19:18What if you think was gonna happen to you?
00:19:20You step into my ring!
00:19:22You become a target!
00:19:24You can remember this night!
00:19:26You screwed with Drew McIntyre!
00:19:28What the hell you think he got it on my ball?!
00:19:32Well if you ask me, that is exactly what Jelly Roll preserves!
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 lane 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,
00:19:52and all what Jelly Roll did was come to the aid of his friend,
00:19:55and he suffered a claymore at the hands of McIntyre!
00:19:59And this is a serious situation here, we need some medical help!
00:20:02If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring!
00:20:07Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, yes, Logan Paul, active competitors!
00:20:12His license, credential, Jelly Roll is a musician!
00:20:16Stay out on the ring!
00:20:18He's got the ring!
00:20:20Let's go!
00:20:21Let's go!
00:20:22Let's go!
00:20:23Let's go!
00:20:24Let's go!
00:20:25Let's go!
00:20:27Let's go!
00:20:28Jelly Roll!
00:20:29Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside,
00:20:31and Jelly Roll had enough, and I can't quite blame him here!
00:20:35in here. And then he might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was
00:20:42pivotal in this match because Drew was caught napping, and that RKO out of nowhere put
00:20:49McIntyre to sleep for good in this way. Yeah, and then Randy Orton, well he would be attacked
00:20:54by not only the Logan Paul, the sneak attack with that titanium loaded right hand dropping
00:20:59Randy Orton, and as Logan Paul teed off on a defenseless Orton jelly roll had had enough.
00:21:04Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring, a beautiful right hook from
00:21:10jelly roll dropping the Maverick, but when you get in the ring, bad things happen, and the
00:21:16sweetest Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down. What did you think was going
00:21:22to happen to you? You step into my ring, you become a target.
00:21:27The idea of what you just said. Make it make sense. You both play favorites.
00:21:33More on that in a moment, but tonight the Laverne family has been upgraded ringside seats and decked
00:21:39out with swag, courtesy of Jimmy John's, by Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:21:45Well, you just saw an irate Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. I think if we know the history of Drew McIntyre, he is not going to let that one lie furious right now, and there may be consequences for
00:21:53Jelly Roll and Randy Orton. Well, ladies and gentlemen, quite the weekend here in Atlanta for WWE, and it continues tomorrow night at the all-women's premium live event Evolution, where EO Sky, the women's world champion, will defend the title in the main event.
00:22:00against a woman she has never lost to.
00:22:02Mommy, Bria Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the women's title in the main event against a woman she has never lost to.
00:22:09Mommy, Bria Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the women's world title tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:22:16Also here tonight, the queen of the ring, who already has a title opportunity for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam,
00:22:23and she is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the women's world title tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:22:31Also here tonight, the queen of the ring, who already has a title opportunity for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam,
00:22:38Jade Cargill is here tomorrow night, no hold bar versus Naomi at Evolution.
00:22:53What a reaction to the queen! Oh my! Wait a minute!
00:22:58Oh wow! Well 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- a number of months of her career.
00:23:17And now once again, blindsiding and sneak attacking Jade Cargill.
00:23:22And finally, uh, some authorities and referees and officials down here to try to break things up between these two.
00:23:27Oh no, not yet! The 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!
00:23:41Jade Cargill is irate! And in 24 hours, these two go no holds barred!
00:23:48Oh man, former best friends! Now the absolute worst of enemies that may be bloodshed tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:23:57And Naomi now! Oh! Off the announce table! Taking out Cargill!
00:24:09Oh my god, we need some more security! This is simply not enough!
00:24:13Absolute 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 each other!
00:24:21Well let's be honest, they're doing exactly that right now!
00:24:24But right 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!
00:24:45So speaking of tomorrow night, I've made a little arrangement!
00:24:50Now I was gonna 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!
00:24:58Allow me to introduce to you someone who can maintain order in your no holds barred match tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:25:07Say hello to your special guest referee!
00:25:15Oh yeah!
00:25:17Oh! The big three will be back together tomorrow at Evolution!
00:25:23Bianca Belair 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 ESTs lie these days?
00:25:44As barely said a word to Jade Cargill in the past couple of months, and the same can be said for Naomi!
00:25:53You gotta wonder what is going through Naomi's mind!
00:25:57As 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!
00:26:09Many of his long time friends are here tonight, including none other than Doug Dellinger!
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!
00:26:35Two of the great matches between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg!
00:26:41DDP here tonight to celebrate!
00:26:45Well it has been a crazy night already, our 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!
00:26:55The 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!
00:27:07He 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, I believe that my, and this is his words,
00:27:19quote, old body, has one more night left in it to recreate the magic from many years ago!
00:27:31We 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 left?
00:27:44What another mark in the win, Tom!
00:27:4756 of 0!
00:27:4977!
00:27:51Triple digits!
00:27:52100 and 0!
00:27:55More amazing by the victory!
00:27:57The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the world championship!
00:28:10And for tonight, one last time!
00:28:14Can 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?
00:28:26We find out in our main event tonight!
00:28:28And our main event tonight!
00:28:32OHHH!
00:28:33YES!
00:28:34The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the United States Championship!
00:28:56Introducing first, the challenger, from San Francisco, California,
00:29:01weighing in at 251 pounds, Jimmy Uso!
00:29:09Jimmy Uso, with an opportunity to win his first singles championship at WWE!
00:29:15But he's got to beat his brother to do it! It's next!
00:29:31I'm the B-E-S-T! The Prodigy!
00:29:41This storm's come. Greatness is my destiny.
00:29:45I'm number one.
00:29:46Jimmy Uso to the big time!
00:29:49Presented 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.
00:30:25His 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
00:30:45after what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:30:48Jimmy, teaming with LA Knight against Solo Sokoa and JC Mateo of the MFTs and 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, and 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, 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
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.
00:31:48An 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
00:32:04can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:32:07It 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 Talat Tonga, the latest member of Solo Sokoa's, quote, family.
00:32:21What utter devastation, Talat Tonga has helped enact on 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?
00:32:35You're not me.
00:32:36What do you want to do?
00:32:37Who's out?
00:32:39Who's out?
00:32:40Who's out?
00:32:42And 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, 15 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
00:33:17and grabbing gold.
00:33:18And 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.
00:33:35And again, a very irate Solo Sokoa.
00:33:38Stay right here!
00:33:39You mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night
00:33:43after being pinned by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:48United States Championship and prestigious title,
00:33:51the WCW version, of course,
00:33:53held by Goldberg a number of times in his career.
00:33:56You know, the past couple of weeks for Solo Sokoa.
00:33:59Oh, Jimmy!
00:34:00It has been a re-accumulation of power here
00:34:03with his new army,
00:34:05and 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!
00:34:14Spitting Solo by Sokoa,
00:34:16covering a quick kickout by Jimmy Uso.
00:34:18Yeah, that's surprising.
00:34:19Most guys stay down perhaps
00:34:21for 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,
00:34:27and Jimmy hasn't taken that quite amount of punishment yet.
00:34:31Now Solo, blocked by Uso,
00:34:33delivers the right hand.
00:34:34I'll tell you right now,
00:34:35you always fight a little tougher
00:34:37against 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.
00:34:45A beautiful uppercut right to the jaw.
00:34:47Perfect timing.
00:34:48And Atala Tonga behind the official's back.
00:35:00The 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.
00:35:08I tell you, I should bring the coal mine 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.
00:35:35United 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!
00:35:57Into the apron!
00:35:59Solo Sokoa landed
00:36:00in the back of his head!
00:36:03Oh, God!
00:36:04Let's take another look at last!
00:36:07Big Jim not known for his German suplex,
00:36:10Arsenal,
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
00:36:20in your career here in WWE?
00:36:22when you have one,
00:36:23you have to capitalize it.
00:36:24Jimmy realizes that.
00:36:26Let's talk about difficult.
00:36:27Fifteen years in the making.
00:36:29Finally, you've got one.
00:36:30It might be another fifteen
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 gonna 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,
00:36:55the NFTs,
00:36:56Mateo,
00:36:58Calatonga,
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!
00:37:08Go, Calatonga has already been involved
00:37:10in this one once,
00:37:11but now,
00:37:12Big Jim going skyward!
00:37:14To the Uso splash!
00:37:16to 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 Sikawa.
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,
00:37:43Jimmy Uso,
00:37:44perhaps,
00:37:44lining up for the kill here,
00:37:46to put his younger brother,
00:37:48Solo Sikawa,
00:37:49away,
00:37:49and take the United States
00:37:50championship goal.
00:37:52Solo looking completely defaceless here,
00:37:54wobbled rock,
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 Sikawa!
00:38:04What a championship-level
00:38:06turnaround for Solo Sikawa,
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
00:38:19to go up top again!
00:38:20Solo Sikawa completely
00:38:22glassy-eyed,
00:38:23the body isn't cooperating!
00:38:25It's a win!
00:38:27Jimmy heading up top!
00:38:30Solo!
00:38:32Rolling out of harm's way!
00:38:34Well done of the way
00:38:35by two of his MFTs!
00:38:37And Jimmy, no!
00:38:39Oh!
00:38:39Cross through up the top!
00:38:41Take it out, everybody!
00:38:43Uso in the win!
00:38:45Three men down!
00:38:55He's going to run into a super kick by...
00:39:04...his body, but 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 Tala Taga went for the big boot!
00:39:15He's going to run into a super kick by...
00:39:17...Jimmy!
00:39:19And the disqualification
00:39:20does not help Jimmy Uso at all here!
00:39:22And another big punt!
00:39:24Down goes Tala Taga!
00:39:26Solo Sikawa takes advantage!
00:39:28Taga helping him out!
00:39:29Solo steals it!
00:39:30Here's your winner
00:39:35and still
00:39:36the United States champion
00:39:39Solo Sikawa!
00:39:42And now that monstrous Tala Taga
00:39:45who cost Jimmy Uso the match
00:39:47now assaulting Big Jim!
00:39:51Solo Sikawa retains the goal
00:39:54what a master stroke
00:39:56what a master plan
00:39:57but perhaps the best plan at all
00:39:59is having the MFTs in your corner!
00:40:03Yeah, pack of rabid Aedas
00:40:05Mateo and
00:40:07Congaloa
00:40:09I mean, this squad
00:40:10might be invincible at this point
00:40:13just when everybody wrote off
00:40:15Solo Sikawa
00:40:17back to the top
00:40:19in a big way!
00:40:24And a Samoan spike
00:40:26to his older brother Jimmy!
00:40:28It wasn't enough
00:40:29to win the match!
00:40:31Solo's been begging Jimmy
00:40:32to rejoin the family
00:40:34rejoin the group
00:40:35for the longest time!
00:40:36Oh!
00:40:38Oh!
00:40:40He's back!
00:40:41The Samoan werewolf is back!
00:40:45Jacob Fartu
00:40:46taken out a couple of weeks ago
00:40:50by the MFTs
00:40:51who powerbombed him
00:40:52through our announce table!
00:40:56And now Fartu
00:40:57to Mateo
00:40:57and Jacob Fartu
00:40:58still not over the fact
00:41:00he lost the United States Championship
00:41:02thanks to these MFTs
00:41:04Jacob is out here!
00:41:07All gas and no brakes
00:41:09about to dog walk some fools!
00:41:11And that's what Fartu is doing!
00:41:15And now the
00:41:16massive color
00:41:18Tonga
00:41:19Yes!
00:41:20Yes!
00:41:33Tonga
00:41:33in the ring
00:41:35face to face!
00:41:36Look at how he towers
00:41:37over Jacob Fartu!
00:41:39Oh my god!
00:41:40A shade under
00:41:41seven feet tall!
00:41:44And Jacob Fartu
00:41:45not backing down!
00:41:46He's gonna unload
00:41:47on Tonga Tonga!
00:41:49Samoan werewolf
00:41:50has no clue!
00:41:51It's a back down!
00:41:52But sometimes
00:41:53you simply
00:41:53aren't given an option!
00:41:56One!
00:41:57Two!
00:41:58Come on!
00:41:58Three!
00:41:59No!
00:42:01And Tonga

00:42:02sent over the top rope
00:42:03by Jacob!
00:42:05Werewolf's gonna fly
00:42:07with a suicide dive!
00:42:18Jacob Fartu's war
00:42:20with the MFTs
00:42:22has just begun Wade!
00:42:25Oh my god!
00:42:26That was insanity
00:42:27personified!
00:42:29Jacob Fartu
00:42:30living dangerously
00:42:31swinging for the fences
00:42:33but if we know
00:42:34Solo Sokoa
00:42:36and the MFTs
00:42:37there may well be
00:42:38some consequences
00:42:39going forward
00:42:40for the Samoan werewolf!
00:42:42You know tonight
00:42:42the final match
00:42:43in the great career
00:42:44of Goldberg

00:42:47for Goldberg
00:42:48of course
00:42:48he lost his father-in-law

00:42:57from the town
00:42:57that me and Goldberg

00:43:04put that out of his
00:43:05mind tonight
00:43:05he told his son Gage
00:43:07that these moments
00:43:08he tries to react to
00:43:09and tries to channel
00:43:10those emotions
00:43:11into what he can do
00:43:12in the ring
00:43:12it's much like
00:43:13the shock he had
00:43:14when he went from
00:43:15WCW
00:43:16to WWE
00:43:17win

00:44:31Saturday night's main event.
00:44:34We're on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:44:38And Saturday night's main event in Atlanta
00:44:42is presented by Jimmy John.
00:44:44Brian, Jimmy John, do toasted sandwiches today.
00:44:48Jelly Roll got toasted earlier tonight.
00:44:51Let's show you what happened after Randy Orton knocked off through McIntyre.
00:44:54Logan Paul would come in and the titanium loaded!
00:44:56White hand would take out Orton.
00:44:57Dropping the Viper, then coming along to Pete LeBones,
00:45:00always ready to make a name for himself out of someone else's expense.
00:45:04Jelly Roll was not having that, though.
00:45:06A nice block and a sweet right hand to the Maverick,
00:45:09dropping the social media megastar.
00:45:11Yeah, but McIntyre from out of nowhere with a Claymore
00:45:14turning Jelly's brain to Jelly
00:45:17as Drew McIntyre had a number of things to say to the superstar.
00:45:21What do you think was going to happen to you?
00:45:22You step into my ring.
00:45:24You become a target.
00:45:27You're going to remember this thing.
00:45:28You stood with Drew McIntyre.
00:45:30What the hell are you thinking?
00:45:32He got in our run hall.
00:45:33What do you think was going to happen to you?
00:45:38Damn it, man.
00:45:38I'm sorry.
00:45:39I should have never had 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 on everything that transpired
00:45:51both last night and tonight.
00:45:53I put my man in harm's way, Kathy.
00:45:54It's as simple as that.
00:45:55I should have never had him out there with Drew
00:45:57and 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.
00:46:17I'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 does that sound?
00:46:27You and me.
00:46:28The revenge, I won't.
00:46:30That's what I'm talking about.
00:46:31Let's go.
00:46:32What is it, RK Roll?
00:46:33RK Roll.
00:46:34I ain't like it.
00:46:34I like it.
00:46:37RK Roll.
00:46:38SummerSlam.
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 is still caved 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.
00:46:58Two of the baddest dudes in the history of this industry.
00:47:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:47:32the 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 at 225 pounds
00:47:54he is the 2025 mr money in the bank
00:48:00let's not lose sight of the fact that paul hayman 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 knowing that gunther and goldberg go added in our main event in moments here on
00:48:27saturday night's main event could tonight be the night a briefcase that in the right hand is as
00:48:35good as gold and i would argue that in the hands of the oracle paul hayman those are exactly the
00:48:43circumstances by which that gets converted to gold in the blink of an eye keep your eyes peeled
00:48:49and here's opponent from los angeles california weighing in at 240 pounds
00:49:08it'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 stomp and the win over penta and then it
00:49:23was a hit and run attack by la night who would deliver a bft to rollins and then escape before
00:49:32bronson and brawn could get to him and 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 power trio
00:49:46brawn breaker and bronson reid you question just where the health of the megastar is right now
00:49:5324 hours removed from that particular attack and no tape on the ribs but you have to believe that
00:49:59midsection of la night is smarting here tonight for la night a massive opportunity against mr money
00:50:07in the bank knight said quote i want your dignity i want justice to be honest i just want to hurt you
00:50:13this 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
00:50:30thanks to attacks from seth rollins and crew so seth rollins and his men have really hamstrung the
00:50:37career of la night in recent months and he's not going to let that lie two-time united states champion
00:50:43la night battling the five-time world champion seth rollins oh it was a good shot to the gut there
00:50:50registered a little too hard oh and a high elbow perhaps a little sign of that attack from last night
00:50:56coming to the four early here and now la night again those ribs just collapsing going for that
00:51:02falcon arrow or suplex and wait a second looking for a pedigree and la night for the bft blocked by
00:51:08seth rollins and while it's now launched outside the ring to the floor
00:51:12and argue beating seth freaking rollins when you're not at 100 percent oh may not actually be possible
00:51:20but blocking out that pain right now apparently is the megastar tapping into that kevorka that is
00:51:26running wild in this arena rollins bounced off our announce table which has become a playground for our
00:51:33superstars here tonight
00:51:34and i don't think he's done yet rollins that's right into our announce table
00:51:42yeah not quite enough damage was done for the announce table apparently let's finish the job why
00:51:48don't we and 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 wallins and la night seth taking control yeah and i don't understand the megastar's behavior of
00:52:12late i've sung his praises from the very beginning but all the kevorka in the world cannot explain
00:52:17why la 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 couldn't credit it might not be a wise thing to do but you gotta 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
00:52:44rollins oh and a knee rate to the midsection great strategy by the architect seth rollins
00:52:49and the visionary now heading up to the top rope looking to put la night away
00:52:53cross flash to the injured midsection and ribs rollins for the wind hook to the leg and a kick out
00:52:59and what was it la night said it was a quote from you i want to hurt you tonight seth rollins well
00:53:04that has done a complete 180 it is the megastar who is in severe danger here tonight thanks to this
00:53:11his abuse from satfraig and rollins
00:53:16wwe fans here chenning la night as rollins looks to quiet the masses
00:53:26jams can help jams can pull you through but
00:53:30jams can pull you through but
00:53:32You're through but
00:53:36Anybody ever chance
00:53:43Oh
00:53:45To fight back
00:53:47Alone
00:53:51Section but it's somehow it's working tapping into that frenzy in this arena all once again one shot and down is the megastar
00:54:02Line and out night look at a rally
00:54:07What a flurry here from LA night just went he was looking written off
00:54:23And call whose game is this
00:54:27Yeah
00:54:29Elbow delivered
00:54:31Knight cover
00:54:34And Rollins kicks it too and this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the game blocking out that pain and
00:54:43Turning this one on a six points
00:54:45Taking full control of the match almost putting away the visionary Seth freakin Rollins
00:54:51What else does LA night have in store here and if you're Rollins a lot of pressure
00:54:57You can ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're trying to build with this new group and break during read and payment and Rollins
00:55:04Look at the money in the bank briefcase
00:55:06You've got the Oracle Paul Heyman the uncheckable power of read
00:55:10Oh
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
00:55:18LA night fighting through the pain the injured midsection looking for the BFG Seth Rollins gonna
00:55:24Make his way out to the apron
00:55:26burning disaster there best footwork in the game Seth freaking Rollins for the past 10 plus years
00:55:33Can move faster than anyone when he needs to employ that he need to
00:55:38Averting danger from that BFT
00:55:41And turning this one in his own favor and Rollins went to the top rope LA Knight made him pay
00:55:46Look at concern on the face of Paul Heyman as Heyman looks on down a on the apron and a big chop by LA Knight
00:55:54Remember Heyman is
00:55:57Hooked to everything in his career
00:55:59To Seth Rollins
00:56:03Constantly hooked himself to success that has been the modus operandum of Paul Heyman from the very beginning
00:56:11Yeah, ever since wrestlemania when he turned his back on Roman reigns and now LA Knight to the top rope Knight now
00:56:18Tremendous athleticism does he have enough left in the core with the injured midsection? No, Rollins able to slip underneath
00:56:25Oh
00:56:27And Rollins with a buckle bomb
00:56:31Always got a solution that is the Seth freaking Rollins way went for the stomp LA Knight
00:56:37With Rollins up and his midsection gave out again
00:56:41And Rollins with a kick to the face unique suplex attempt there from LA Knight simply didn't have the power left in that frame that heavily
00:56:49For a fatigued body that has absorbed so much abuse of late and it's about to get even worse
00:56:55And now Rollins
00:56:56Oh, and there's that flying senton springboard senton by Rollins
00:57:00And now a moonsault lands on his feet may have tweaked his knee
00:57:03We saw Seth favor the knee this past Monday may have tweaked it again
00:57:07And now LA Knight with an opportunity Rollins into the corner of the official there to check on Rollins
00:57:14This could be a serious situation here
00:57:18Rollins tweaking his knee Heyman 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 and that is a look of panic in the eye of Seth freaking Rollins
00:57:30That is not what you want to see well panic on the face of a of Paul Heyman as well as
00:57:35As a superstar, you know full well when you've done yourself a major mischief. I can see well and look at look at this way
00:57:41The the doctor the ringside doctor now is over uh
00:57:45Consulting with the official on the the situation with Rollins and Seth's knee
00:57:52I know it's just suck a wind out of this arena when we talked about the fact he tweaked that knee
00:57:57He uh earlier this week
00:58:11Rollins up hobbling back up into the corner LA Knight BFT BFT by LA Knight cover now hook of the leg and Knight with the win
00:58:20Here is your winner
00:58:28Well, it's a win, but it is not the kind of victory that LA Knight came for tonight and that is a bleak sight seeing
00:58:35Seth freaking Rollins down and out
00:58:38And that is a truly catastrophic moment here at saturday night's main event
00:58:45Well, uh undisputed super middleweight champion canelo alvarez faces undefeated three division king parents bud crawford
00:58:56In a historic class that transcends titles at saturday september 13th at allegiance stadium in las vegas nevada

00:59:14boxing
00:59:15Well, let's take another look at what happened to seth rollins a very serious a situation
00:59:20Moments ago rollins tweaking the knee once again, but it appears to be much more serious than we first thought as you take a look at
00:59:27Rollins now coming off the second rope
00:59:30Looking for a moonsault landed on his feet his knee buckled you saw him go right to the knee
00:59:34He collapsed to the corner. He told the doctor. He could continue and la night would deliver the
00:59:40dfp so best wishes to seth rollins
00:59:43Uh as he's helped to the back now. Yeah, we say it timing time again
00:59:47It is a dangerous world inside those ropes set. We are hoping for the best for you
00:59:52Good luck and coming up next

01:05:03all of those rings but what a night it has been thus far and it's about to get even better
01:05:26well ladies and gentlemen way barrett and i had a very interesting conversation with this man the world
01:05:32champion gunther earlier today i thought he'd be more humble when i asked him the question about
01:05:38how he felt having goldberg's last match of his career yeah well you apparently frequently get the
01:05:43temperature 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
01:06:26raw when goldberg dropped the ring general with a sweet right hook to the jaw
01:06:45goldberg pro

01:10:36Let's go.
01:10:37And 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.
01:10:56The final time we witness the awesome intensity, the power, the greatness that is Goldberg.
01:11:03What a clash of generations of styles and legacies.
01:11:11An important note as well.
01:11:27The official in this match is the veteran Charles Robinson.
01:11:30The man who has refereed hundreds of matches in the career of Goldberg, including the historic night on July 6, 1998, when Goldberg defeated 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.
01:12:02The 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.
01:12:18Oh!
01:12:18Oh!
01:12:20Oh, right!
01:12:21The chop having a little effect on Goldberg, who breaks out in that trademark smile and laugh.
01:12:28Gunther said he would not be intimidated by the intensity of Goldberg, but it's a different story when you're face-to-face with the Hall of Famer.
01:12:35The two men who are simply built for war.
01:12:38Oh!
01:12:38Gunther now realizing perhaps the size of the task that lies ahead of him.
01:12:45And what about the task that lies ahead of Goldberg?
01:12:47This is his first match in over three years.
01:12:50His last match, 2022.
01:12:52The elimination chamber here at WWE.
01:12:55And Goldberg taking the fight to Gunther.
01:12:57It's your hometown.
01:12:58Your family's here.
01:13:00Retirement hanging over you.
01:13:01The end of a career.
01:13:02You have to be a cold, ruthless, fighting machine in that ring.
01:13:07But there's so much emotion bubbling 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?
01:13:21Does 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.
01:13:30He's got a brace on the left knee.
01:13:32Well, I thought that was absolute insanity.
01:13:34You've got a prep fiend like Gunther who absorbs this kind of information.
01:13:37Immediately targeting that knee of Goldberg.
01:13:40And now the power of Goldberg sending Gunther to the center of the ring.
01:13:43And the champ's in trouble.
01:13:45Yeah, I'm impressed with Goldberg in the early going.
01:13:47That raw power coming to the fore.
01:13:49And he's stalking Gunther.
01:13:51Goldberg looking for a spear.
01:13:53And Gunther moving out of harm's way.
01:13:56And Gunther, you see the expression on Goldberg's face.
01:13:59Realize that that may have been his opportunity.
01:14:01That may have been his moment.
01:14:03Well, that's frustration on Goldberg.
01:14:05You let that chance slip away.
01:14:06You 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.
01:14:18Now a chop to Goldberg.
01:14:19And Goldberg trying to fight it off.
01:14:21Another chop by the champ.
01:14:22And 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.
01:14:31And Gunther's set toward the corner.
01:14:33Goldberg looking for a 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.
01:14:44Could be a golden opportunity for the world champ.
01:14:47Gunther has turned his attention to the injured knee.
01:14:55That brace covering the left knee of Goldberg.
01:14:58Gunther has been attacking that knee throughout the break.
01:15:00Yes, he has.
01:15:01Gunther is precision and discipline.
01:15:04Goldberg is destruction incarnate.
01:15:07And we saw that destruction against our barricade a few minutes ago.
01:15:12And it may well have destroyed Goldberg's chances in this match.
01:15:16He hasn't looked the same thing.
01:15:17Yeah, Goldberg trying to dig down deep final time in his career in the ring.
01:15:20This 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.
01:15:35One last dance for the champ.
01:15:38Yeah, right.
01:15:38The dance may be over here.
01:15:40Right back to the knee.
01:15:42As 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 Gunther throughout his career.
01:16:01Intimidate.
01:16:02Come on, Goldberg.
01:16:03Physically overpowered.
01:16:05Come on, Goldberg.
01:16:07What do you want to do?
01:16:07Trash talk.
01:16:09Good to embarrass Goldberg here, but that may be a major error from the ring general.
01:16:14Flurry from Goldberg.
01:16:15Not enough to drop the world heavyweight champ.
01:16:18It's hard to intimidate the master of intimidation and the power.
01:16:21Five-buster by Goldberg.
01:16:23On one good leg, there is still fight in the former champ, in the legend.
01:16:30He's hurting.
01:16:32He's stumbling.
01:16:33But this warrior is going to go out on his shield tonight.
01:16:36Win, lose, or draw.
01:16:39Ganga.
01:16:39Knee buckle in 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.
01:16:49And another one.
01:16:50The world champ exploding out of the corner.
01:16:53Goldberg is just so hampered when he gets on the offense.
01:16:55He 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.
01:17:05Yeah, that's why Goldberg's got to keep Gunther close.
01:17:07The separation does not help him.
01:17:10Goldberg notorious for those heavy hands,
01:17:11those heavy boots
01:17:13and 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.
01:17:26Russ says he was locked in for that power bomb
01:17:28that Gunther is known for and way to understand.
01:17:31Goldberg now.
01:17:32Oh, no!
01:17:34Spearing the official Charles Robinson.
01:17:37Inadmerton Lee as Gunther moved out of harm's way.
01:17:40Oh, God!
01:17:42Charles Robinson once again taking the brunt of a major attack there.
01:17:47You're right.
01:17:47Completely inadvertent.
01:17:49Such was the nimble feet of the ring general.
01:17:53And now Gunther from behind right back to the knee of Goldberg.
01:17:57The official's down.
01:17:59And Gunther can do whatever he wants now.
01:18:01And we're going to need another referee.
01:18:03Charles Robinson will not be getting up from that spear.
01:18:06And Goldberg in trouble as Gunther looks to rip the protective knee brace
01:18:10from 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.
01:18:22Damage him.
01:18:23Gunther has previously been about the sport, proving he's the greatest on the planet.
01:18:29This is something very different.
01:18:32Refusing to be embarrassed by the return of a former great in Goldberg.
01:18:38This is a statement from the world heavyweight champ.
01:18:42Goldberg, one of the toughest men in the history of professional wrestling.
01:18:47But he has a vulnerability.
01:18:49And that, of course, the injured knee.
01:18:51And 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.
01:19:00Goldberg clearly out of his prime physically.
01:19:02But the mind, the body, the heart wants to fight on.
01:19:06You have to respect that.
01:19:08Right to the back of the head of Goldberg.
01:19:10Hope really beginning to slip away now.
01:19:14Of a dream ending for a legendary career.
01:19:28And 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?
01:19:39Come on.
01:19:40Get your ass down.
01:19:43Gage's not going to take that.
01:19:44He's over the barricade.
01:19:46Remember, he was at the home of this when it all began in Atlanta last year.
01:19:49When 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!
01:20:05Goldberg hit the spear on Gunther!
01:20:07Does he have something left?
01:20:10Does Goldberg have one jackhammer left?
01:20:13He does!
01:20:14He does!
01:20:15My job!
01:20:29Jackhammer!
01:20:30It's up here!
01:20:30And there's a new official!
01:20:33Sean Bennett rushed into the rim, but again, the bad knee!
01:20:36Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away.
01:20:38Dragging himself.
01:20:40Falls into the cover.
01:20:41Shoulders down!
01:20:42Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:44Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:46Off the jackhammer by Goldberg!
01:20:49Oh 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!
01:21:05Nailed a big one-two whammy with that jackhammer, but the landing on that knee!
01:21:10Preventing the penny time!
01:21:11And that's Gunther with a sleeper!
01:21:13The sleeper locked in on Goldberg!
01:21:15The sleeper's in!
01:21:16Goldberg on tap!
01:21:18Gunther's gonna have to pass Goldberg out here!
01:21:21Goldberg's trying to fight back!
01:21:23Grabbing anything he can, but that is 16 deep!
01:21:27And Goldberg now fading!
01:21:28Goldberg is fading!
01:21:30Goldberg with one last gasp to break the sleeper!
01:21:34Goldberg fighting back!
01:21:36Loves to his belly!
01:21:37Gunther's still with the sleeper locked in!
01:21:40Gunther's got it in good!
01:21:41Goldberg doesn't have anything left!
01:21:43All that oxygen cut off!
01:21:45The blow cut off and fading!
01:21:47It's Goldberg!
01:21:47And Goldberg is out!
01:21:49Gunther retains!
01:21:53Here is your winner, and still the world heavyweight champion, the ring general, Goldberg!
01:22:06And with that, it's over!
01:22:08A 28-year career, one of the most dominant in the history of professional wrestling, an
01:22:13icon who's drilled millions and carried an industry on his back.
01:22:17For Goldberg, it's not who's next anymore, but what's next?
01:22:23For Goldberg, outside the ring.
01:22:41Bill, tonight, it's all about you.
01:22:43Go right ahead.
01:22:44First off, I don't think I've ever lost here in Atlanta, so I do apologize for going out
01:22:52a little subpar.
01:22:56I've got over 100 friends and family that came in from all over the world, and I just
01:23:03got to say, I cannot thank you all enough.
01:23:09The fans in Atlanta have been absolutely wonderful.
01:23:13I love you.
01:23:15I couldn't have done it without you.
