00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30Welcome to Atlanta.
00:00:40Where in-ring history will be made tonight.
00:00:43We're in the midst of an electric stretch of entertainment and sports in the ATL.
00:00:47This weekend, A-Town is on the Beyonce's Cowboy Corner Tour and
00:00:51on the All-Star Games in a few days.
00:00:53But tonight, everyone is buzzing about this spectacle.
00:00:58Saturday Night Span event is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:01:02Try Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:01:07A massive crowd is packing into State Farm Arena.
00:01:12Seth Rollins is here.
00:01:14Mr. Money in the Bank, the visionary.
00:01:17He's reshaped the landscape of WWE, and he's done so with the Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:01:22The heavy hitters, Breaker and Reed.
00:01:24And tonight, look who's coming for him, L.A. Knight.
00:01:31The mega star has survived various attacks from that group.
00:01:34Now Knight and Rollins settle it in the ring.
00:01:37Plus, the Viper is ready to strike.
00:01:42You see him, Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
00:01:47McIntyre's taking aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:51And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:54Randy's been battling the very best, but now a long time adversary has returned in
00:02:00Drew McIntyre for this showcase event.
00:02:05Meanwhile, a family feud goes to the next level.
00:02:09Solo Sokoa, the United States Champion.
00:02:12He's put together what he calls the MFTs by his side.
00:02:15But that family tree includes an older brother who refuses to join in.
00:02:21Jimmy Uso is out to claim his first singles title in his long WWE career.
00:02:27Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship Main Event.
00:02:31Gunther crossed the line, made things personal here in Atlanta.
00:02:35And now he has to defend his title against Georgia's very own hometown legend.
00:02:43The man who won a championship here all those years ago.
00:02:47It'll be the last ride for Goldberg.
00:02:50It's the next edition of Saturday Night's Main Event with Goldberg's Last Ride right now.
00:03:10Saturday Night Live will not be seen tonight.
00:03:13So we can bring you the following entertainment special.
00:03:20It's Saturday Night's Main Event and the pleasure is all yours.
00:03:25I was rowdy before rowdy was cool.
00:03:28We got a new Intercontinental Champion.
00:03:30But you talk and money walk.
00:03:33Rest in peace.
00:03:34When you talk about a hot ticket, you've got it right here on Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:03:40The electricity that's in the air, you can cut it with a knife.
00:03:58One of the most popular programs in the history of television.
00:04:02RKO!
00:04:03I'm pumped up, I'm excited.
00:04:07It's Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:04:10Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:04:15Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:04:18I end it in Atlanta.
00:04:21The greatest champion in WCW history.
00:04:25Gunther, you're next!
00:04:31These are the nights that define legacies, that alter the course of WWE history.
00:04:52Look at this scene here at State Farm Arena here in Atlanta for Saturday Night's Main Event.
00:04:57Main Event.
00:04:58Good evening, everybody.
00:04:59Thrilled that you're with us, as always, right here in primetime at NBC.
00:05:03Joe Tessitore and Jesse the Body Ventura.
00:05:08Always great to be with you, Jesse.
00:05:10And you're incredibly equipped to analyze what's gonna happen here tonight with Goldberg in action.
00:05:16You gotta go back to 1998 when he won a world championship here.
00:05:21He's still going.
00:05:22What do you expect?
00:05:23Well, Mean Joe, I'll tell you this.
00:05:28What I expect is this.
00:05:30Goldberg's gonna have to battle his age no matter what.
00:05:33He has got to win quick.
00:05:35He has got to win early, in my opinion.
00:05:39The longer the bout goes, the advantage goes to Gunther.
00:05:43No doubt about it.
00:05:44Now, you called Drew McIntyre's last match we saw.
00:05:47He's back.
00:05:48He faces Randy Orton tonight.
00:05:50What's your quick read on that?
00:05:51Well, my quick read is, I know Randy's father well.
00:05:55I've teamed up with him.
00:05:56And the apple don't fall far from the tree.
00:05:59McIntyre and them are in for a war.
00:06:02Why do you think I wore my war hat tonight?
00:06:04Oh, I like that.
00:06:05We'll get into that a little bit later on.
00:06:06But right now, the men who will call the action, the great Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.
00:06:12Gentlemen, take it away.
00:06:13Thanks a lot, guys.
00:06:14We are so excited to be here tonight and honored and privileged to be a part of calling the final match of the iconic career of Goldberg.
00:06:21Yeah, it's Hotlanta, it's the Dirty South, and we are ready to get down and dirty with a majorly stacked card here on Saturday night's main event.
00:06:31Why not kick things off with Orton and McIntyre.
00:06:33I hear voices in my head.
00:06:39Don't talk to me.
00:06:41They said they talk to me.
00:06:44You got chills and your vision.
00:06:56All designed to keep you safe.
00:06:59And what you were saying.
00:07:00But when we start getting broken that peace, I'm actually going over.
00:07:05And when we say they talk to me.
00:07:08We're going to be saying they want to dance to me.
00:07:10I have a music, and I have a music on the world.
00:07:14To be a town to me.
00:07:16I hear voices in my head.
00:07:21And I see heroes in my head.
00:07:24I see blood at my head.
00:07:27The following contest is scheduled for one
00:07:57fall, making his way to the ring, being accompanied by a four-time Grammy-nominated country artist,
00:08:04Jelly Roll, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 280 pounds, the Viper, Randy Orton!
00:08:19Randy Orton and Jelly Roll bonding last night on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:08:24We'll show you what happened in just a little bit, but Randy Orton kicking us off tonight
00:08:29in front of nearly 12,000 in Atlanta for Saturday Night's main event.
00:08:34They talked to me
00:09:04I'm here, I'm not a giant
00:09:17I'm a secret from the giant
00:09:20I'm a danger, I'm not a giant
00:09:23I'm a mutant, I'm a rising
00:09:26I have voices in my head
00:09:28They can't believe me
00:09:30They understand, they start to play
00:09:33They start to play
00:09:37They start to play
00:09:39They start to play
00:09:42They start to play
00:09:45They start to play
00:09:48They start to play
00:09:50They start to play
00:09:52We've got children, they're rich
00:09:55We're all designed to keep you safe
00:09:58But we won't stop
00:10:00We'll be right back to them
00:10:03We'll be right back to them
00:10:05We'll be right back to them
00:10:07We'll be right back to them
00:10:09We'll be right back to them
00:10:11We'll be right back to them
00:10:13We'll be right back to them
00:10:15We'll be right back to them
00:10:17We'll be right back to them
00:10:19And his opponent,
00:10:48being accompanied by Logan Paul,
00:10:51Premier Scotland, weighing in at 275 pounds,
00:10:55Drew McIntyre.
00:10:58Well, I'm not shocked to see these two hypocrites hanging out together.
00:11:03Let's take it back to last night on SmackDown.
00:11:05Jelly Roll was performing.
00:11:07I hear you in my head, I hear you in my head.
00:11:11Ayo, ayo, ayo.
00:11:14The WWE doesn't need a Jelly Roll.
00:11:18The WWE needs a Logan Paul.
00:11:21Everybody back there from top to bottom does everything that they can do to
00:11:26make sure that Logan Paul wants- And then McIntyre with an ambush
00:11:31Wade and a Claymore, and Logan Paul went on loan.
00:11:35Seizing the opportunity to pick the bones until Jelly Roll got involved in an irate-
00:11:40You are not a wrestler, brother.
00:11:43Trashing Jelly Roll set right afterwards, vowing vengeance.
00:11:48You are looking at the man who claims he has evolved over the past decade and
00:11:52a half here in WWE, none other than the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:11:59He's been chastising Randy Orton for a couple of weeks now, claiming that Randy could not
00:12:06pull the trigger against Cody Rhodes in their big matchup, that Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:12:14Well, certainly an element of truth of what Drew McIntyre said.
00:12:19And it clearly hit a raw nerve with Randy Orton, who promptly RKO'd McIntyre one week ago.
00:12:26Hence McIntyre's retort with last night's Claymore, one for one now.
00:12:31So the renewal of a great all-time rivalry here tonight with McIntyre and Randy Orton.
00:12:36Their first match one-on-one was back in 2011, McIntyre versus Orton.
00:12:422020, they had an unbelievable rivalry.
00:12:47That consisted of a SummerSlam match and an ambulance match and Randy Orton a hell in a cell
00:12:55and McIntyre winning a no disqualification and no countout.
00:12:58Tremendous history between these two.
00:12:59Wade, two men you know extremely well.
00:13:01Yeah, and they more importantly know each other extremely well.
00:13:05They're acutely aware of how dangerous their opponent is this evening.
00:13:09McIntyre sent over the top rope.
00:13:12And now Randy Orton, the Viper, staring down Logan Paul.
00:13:18And Orton now went for that classic back suplex to McIntyre.
00:13:23It's so easy against most opponents.
00:13:25And McIntyre gonna deliver Orton's own move to him on the top of our announce table.
00:13:31And that's that previously damaged lower back, and Orton once again taking the brunt of the
00:13:36punishment in the early goings here.
00:13:38And another one to Orton, already favoring his back.
00:13:42McIntyre's dominating early here on NBC.
00:13:48And we are back on Saturday night's main event, nearly 12,000 in attendance tonight.
00:13:53State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia kicking off tonight with a renewal of a great rivalry.
00:13:57Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:13:59Randy Orton starting to fight back in this match.
00:14:02But McIntyre sending Randy into the corner.
00:14:04And again, the lower back has been the target.
00:14:06Yeah, absolutely.
00:14:07And Logan Paul clearly looking on, enjoying what he's seeing.
00:14:10Jelly roll, less so.
00:14:11Well, you'll remember at Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton.
00:14:15That superplex in the early goings tweaked the lower back of the Viper.
00:14:19We saw it.
00:14:20The world saw it, I guarantee you Drew McIntyre saw it too.
00:14:24Just Randy Orton, what happened to you?
00:14:28And McIntyre questioning what has happened to Randy Orton.
00:14:31We mentioned earlier McIntyre questioning whether or not Randy had the killer instinct
00:14:36anymore when he wouldn't go pull the trigger against Cody Rhodes.
00:14:39And those eyes of the Viper just narrowed somewhat.
00:14:43And Randy exploded out of the corner with a clothesline.
00:14:46And here comes the WWE's Apex Predator.
00:14:49Well, really a good idea to start goading the Viper.
00:14:52But nice move there from McIntyre, putting the brakes on.
00:14:56The Glasgow kiss by McIntyre, launched out to the apron.
00:15:01And now Drew heading up to the top rope.
00:15:04Scottish warrior has to roll through, power slam by Randy.
00:15:10He got outwitted the first time, but he connected that time.
00:15:13Yeah, both men going counter for counter, move for move.
00:15:16Here, trying to second guess their opponent the entire time.
00:15:19And wait up, it might be payback time.
00:15:21And now it's Randy Orton to McIntyre.
00:15:25And Randy Orton gonna make McIntyre pay a second time.
00:15:33And I don't believe the Viper's done yet.
00:15:35A third time McIntyre on the announce table.
00:15:39And now Randy Orton staring down Logan Paul.
00:15:42And Logan is caught between Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:15:45Logan took a fair few cheap shots at Randy Orton last night.
00:15:49And right to the throat.
00:15:51McIntyre using the distraction by Logan Paul to his advantage.
00:15:59Just goes to show you how important a corner man can be in this game.
00:16:03Orton is caught in this game.
00:16:06Orton.
00:16:08Vintage Randy Orton.
00:16:09That draping DDT.
00:16:11And Randy's taking over.
00:16:12The Viper's ready to strike.
00:16:23The Viper's ready to strike.
00:16:25And Logan Paul pausing a distraction.
00:16:33Well how vital.
00:16:35McIntyre with a Claymore to Randy Orton.
00:16:39Hook of the leg.
00:16:41Randy able to get his foot on the bottom rope before a count of three.
00:16:45Referee Sean Bennett in perfect position as we take another look.
00:16:49Just utter devastation for McIntyre.
00:16:51The fix was in.
00:16:52The distraction from Logan Paul.
00:16:54A flush Claymore.
00:16:56But a veteran Viper knowing exactly where he was.
00:16:59And we're having a showdown now.
00:17:01Jelly Roll and Logan Paul.
00:17:04You're in the wrong arena buddy.
00:17:06And I told you that yesterday.
00:17:08And I'm going to tell you again.
00:17:09You're in the wrong arena.
00:17:11You've blocked it all for a long time.
00:17:12Man, you're going well brother.
00:17:14I'm pushing you now.
00:17:16Logan Paul blocked by Jelly Roll.
00:17:19And Jelly Roll in Paul's face as Paul tries to retreat.
00:17:25And now McIntyre barking at the country music superstar.
00:17:30You're going to fall for my business.
00:17:32You want to fight.
00:17:33You get in here and fight me.
00:17:35You want to fight.
00:17:37Fight you, McIntyre.
00:17:38I dare you.
00:17:39Don't try me.
00:17:40That's what I thought.
00:17:45Nothing.
00:17:47Nothing.
00:17:48Smart move, Jelly Roll.
00:17:50Keep the hell out of that fight.
00:17:51Know your limits.
00:17:52McIntyre.
00:17:53And Randy Orton, an RKO out of nowhere by Orton.
00:17:57Here's the cover.
00:17:58One, two.
00:17:59Orton with the win.
00:18:04Here is your winner, the Viper, Randy Orton.
00:18:13Randy Orton with an RKO out of nowhere.
00:18:17Knocks off McIntyre.
00:18:20After the issue with Jelly Roll and Logan Paul here at ringside.
00:18:25Well, that was a major distraction from the outside from Jelly Roll.
00:18:29He needs to stick to music and now, one lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:36And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:40Paul with that big right hand, connecting.
00:18:43Jelly Roll has seen it off.
00:18:54Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:56But he's not gonna put up with his friend being beaten up here tonight.
00:19:02And now, Jelly Roll swinging Paul across the ring.
00:19:11And Jelly Roll with a right hand.
00:19:13Jelly with a right hand.
00:19:15Paul down.
00:19:16Paul is down.
00:19:26Jelly Roll with a right hand.
00:19:28Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly.
00:19:37No!
00:19:38A Claymore by McIntyre to Jelly Roll as he was checking on a falling Randy Orton.
00:19:44What do you think is gonna happen to you?
00:19:46You step into my ring, you become a target.
00:19:50You can remember this night.
00:19:52You're scribbling through McIntyre.
00:19:54What the hell are you thinking?
00:19:55He got it all right, Paul.
00:19:58Well, if you ask me, that is exactly what Jelly Roll deserved.
00:20:02Listen, Cole, I play a little guitar on my off day.
00:20:04Doesn't mean I can pack out the honky tonks.
00:20:07Stick to your lame, Jelly Roll.
00:20:10You are not a fighter.
00:20:12Well, at the end of the day, Wade, the match was over.
00:20:15Randy Orton was getting beaten up by Logan Paul.
00:20:19And all what Jelly Roll did was come to the aid of his friend.
00:20:22And he suffered a Claymore at the hands of McIntyre.
00:20:25And this is a serious situation here.
00:20:27We need some medical help.
00:20:28What happened?
00:20:29If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring.
00:20:33Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre.
00:20:35Yes, Logan Paul, active competitors.
00:20:38License, credential, Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:20:43Stay out of the ring.
00:20:52Here we go.
00:21:13Here we go.
00:21:24Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside.
00:21:27And Jelly Roll had enough, and I can't quite blame him here.
00:21:31And then he would turn.
00:21:33Might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was pivotal in this match.
00:21:39Because Drew was caught napping, and that RKO out of nowhere put McIntyre to sleep for good in this one.
00:21:47Yeah, and then Randy Orton, well, he would be attacked by not only the Logan Paul.
00:21:51Mystique attack with that titanium-loaded right hand dropping Randy Orton.
00:21:56And as Logan Paul teed off on a defenseless Orton, Jelly Roll had had enough.
00:22:00Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring, a beautiful right hook
00:22:05from Jelly Roll dropping the Maverick.
00:22:07But when you get in the ring, bad things happen.
00:22:10And the sweetest Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down.
00:22:16What did you think was gonna happen to you?
00:22:19You step into my ring, you become a target.
00:22:23The idea what you've just done.
00:22:24Make it make sense.
00:22:25What do you do about favorites?
00:22:27You both play favorites.
00:22:37More on that in a moment, but tonight, the Laverne family has been upgraded ringside seats
00:22:45and decked out with swag courtesy of Jimmy John's.
00:22:48Why Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:22:52Well, you just saw an irate Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
00:22:57I think if we know the history of Drew McIntyre, he is not gonna let that one lie.
00:23:01Furious right now, and there may be consequences for Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
00:23:05Well, ladies and gentlemen, quite the weekend here in Atlanta for WWE, and it continues tomorrow night
00:23:10at the All-Women's Premium Live Event Evolution, where Io Scott, the Women's World Champion,
00:23:16will defend the title in the main event against a woman she has never lost to.
00:23:21Mommy, Brea Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the Women's World title
00:23:28tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:23:31Also here tonight, the Queen of the Ring, who already has a title opportunity for the WWE Women's Championship
00:23:40at SummerSlam. Jade Cargill is here tomorrow night. No holds barred versus Naomi at Evolution.
00:23:49What a reaction to the Queen. Oh, my! Wait a minute!
00:23:54Oh, wow!
00:23:56Well, it's been on-site for months now, and Naomi simply will not let this rivalry go.
00:24:03Getting some cheap shots ahead of tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:24:07Well, it was Naomi who attacked Cargill months and months ago, costing Cargill a number of
00:24:12months of her career. And now, once again, blindsiding and sneak attacking Jade Cargill.
00:24:17And finally, some authorities and referees and officials down here to try to
00:24:21break things up between these two.
00:24:23Oh, no, not yet, not yet!
00:24:25The temperature is rising between these two, and it's come unglued completely.
00:24:30Cargill with Naomi now, and Naomi's set right off her on an ass table to the floor!
00:24:37Jade Cargill is irate! And in 24 hours, these two go no holds barred!
00:24:44Oh, man, former best friends. Now, the absolute worst of enemies that may be
00:24:50going through bloodshed tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:24:58And Naomi now, oh!
00:25:00Off the announce table, taking out Cargill!
00:25:04Oh, my God, we need some more security. This is simply not enough.
00:25:08Absolute chaos tonight, and the thing is, Wade, tomorrow, this will all be legal.
00:25:13These two women can do whatever the hell they want to each other.
00:25:16Well, let's be honest, they're doing exactly that right now.
00:25:20Perhaps, finally, a little separation.
00:25:27And now, Naomi, once again, up on our table, staring back at Naomi, Jade, that's enough.
00:25:37Now, I had a feeling that you two couldn't wait till tomorrow night.
00:25:40So, speaking of tomorrow night, I've made a little arrangement.
00:25:44Now, I was gonna discuss this with you two before I made the announcement in my office,
00:25:49like professionals, but seeing as you two want to jump the gun, here it is.
00:25:54Allow me to introduce to you someone who can maintain order in your
00:25:59No Holds Barred match tomorrow night in Evolution.
00:26:02Say hello to your special guest referee.
00:26:06The Big Three will be back together tomorrow at Evolution.
00:26:18Bianca Belair wants the best of friends with Jade, and of course, Naomi.
00:26:24Naomi will be the special guest referee for this No Holds Barred match.
00:26:35Why do the loyalties of the EST lie these days?
00:26:39As barely said a word to Jade Cargill in the past couple of months.
00:26:44And the same can be said for Naomi.
00:26:47You gotta wonder what is going through Naomi's mind as that woman, Bianca Belair,
00:26:54is going to be the special guest referee.
00:26:59Tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:27:01Well, tonight is also a celebration of the last match at Goldberg.
00:27:04Many of his longtime friends are here tonight, including none other than Doug Dillinger.
00:27:10Doug, a part of the security detail, the man, the WCW head of security, that walked Goldberg to the ring
00:27:17each and every night for those iconic entrances.
00:27:20Also here tonight in the Hall of Famer, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:27:25He, of course, battled Goldberg in 1998 at Halloween Havoc Fall Brawl in 1999.
00:27:32Two of the great matches between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg.
00:27:36DDP here tonight to celebrate.
00:27:41Well, it has been a crazy night already.
00:27:43Our desk has been rearranged three times and now it's an absolute state,
00:27:46but I am so fired up to be here to see the final ever match of Goldberg.
00:27:51The world is watching. It's going to be huge.
00:27:53A lot of interviews this week Goldberg has conducted around the United States.
00:27:57He did a particular run with CBS News where he talked about the toll that his career has taken on his body.
00:28:02He says he's got a bad knee, which makes it hard to plant when he delivers the spear.
00:28:06He's got a jacked up shoulder that makes the jackhammer difficult to deliver.
00:28:10But Goldberg said this, I believe that my, and this is his words, quote,
00:28:15old body has one more night left in it to recreate the magic from many years ago.
00:28:21We have never seen a man quite like this.
00:28:32Who can stop him?
00:28:35And Bill Goldberg remains unbeaten.
00:28:37Who's next?
00:28:38What another mark in the win column.
00:28:4156 of our.
00:28:4377.
00:28:4477.
00:28:46Triple digits, 100 and 0.
00:28:50More amazing by the victory.
00:28:52The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the world's championship.
00:28:59And for tonight, one last time.
00:29:09Can Goldberg do it again?
00:29:12Can he win the world heavyweight championship in his adopted hometown of Atlanta?
00:29:18Or will Gunther send Goldberg out on his term?
00:29:22We find out in our main event tonight.
00:29:27Ooh, yeah!
00:29:28Yeah!
00:29:30I'm gonna keep, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
00:29:36Been talking family first, I put that in the flesh, I put that in the flesh, I put that in the flesh.
00:29:41The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the United States Championship.
00:29:52Introducing first, the challenger.
00:29:55From San Francisco, California, weighting at 251 pounds, Jimmy Uso.
00:30:05Jimmy Uso, with an opportunity to win his first singles championship in WWE.
00:30:11But he's got to beat his brother to do it.
00:30:13It's next.
00:30:34I'm the B-E-S-T, the prodigy.
00:30:36Woo!
00:30:37This storm has come.
00:30:38Greatness is my destiny.
00:30:40I'm number one.
00:30:42Tippi Tocke!
00:30:42Welcome to the big time!
00:30:44It's gonna be a great week of WWE podcasts based on what's happening this weekend.
00:30:59And that includes the Saturday night's main event recap, Megan Morant and Sam Roberts.
00:31:04It takes place tomorrow here for WWE.
00:31:08Great podcasts all week long.
00:31:13You know, Saturday night's main event is presented by Jimmy John.
00:31:17Try Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:31:26And Jimmy Uso looking to win his first singles championship in WWE.
00:31:30In what just so happens to be his little brother's first ever defense of a singles championship.
00:31:37A real family affair here.
00:31:39His opponent, being accompanied by M.M.T., from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds.
00:31:59He is the United States Champion, Solo Sokoa!
00:32:07You know, Wade, many believe that Jimmy Uso has the momentum coming into this matchup after
00:32:11what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:32:13Jimmy teaming with LA Knight against Solo Sokoa and JC Mateo of the MFTs in a tag match.
00:32:18And with Night fully in control, things were looking good until the untimely arrival of one Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:32:28Appeared at ringside, a major distraction, and that opened the door for the massive Talat Tonga
00:32:34to completely wipe the megastar out.
00:32:36Amidst the chaos, though, Big Jim was ready, rolled up Solo Sokoa, scored the dub while the MFTs gave chase.
00:32:44Yeah, interesting stories in this matchup tonight. First for Solo Sokoa, Wade.
00:32:50He was extremely embarrassed last night by losing to Jimmy Uso in this tag team matchup,
00:32:55but when you look at Jimmy Uso, you look at this as a suicide mission as he stares across the ring
00:33:02at the entire group of MFTs.
00:33:06It's really been two weeks in a row now. Jimmy has scored a tag victory over Solo Sokoa
00:33:12on SmackDown, an irate Solo Sokoa now promising some swift vengeance and consequences for his big
00:33:21brother, and you're right. I simply don't see how in this situation, with the ring surrounded by the MFTs,
00:33:28Jimmy Uso can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:33:32It is for the United States Championship. Solo Sokoa winning the title from Jacob
00:33:38Patu back at Night of Champions, thanks to the arrival of Talatonga, the latest member of
00:33:44Solo Sokoa's, quote, family.
00:33:46What utter devastation Talatonga has helped enact on behalf of the MFTs, completely wiping out
00:33:54the WWE.
00:34:07And here we go, Jimmy the older brother of Solo Sokoa, and we're underway for the United States
00:34:12Championship. Interesting note here, 15 years in WWE. Only one time has Jimmy Uso had an opportunity
00:34:19the singles title and that was in a multi-man match this is his first ever one-on-one matchup
00:34:24for a singles championship in wwe yeah you told me that stat earlier i simply couldn't believe it
00:34:31underappreciated underrated but uber talented big jimmy usso needs to put the naysayers away
00:34:38tonight by scoring what feels like an impossible victory and grabbing gold and a suicide dive by
00:34:45jimmy usso down goes solo that was an ugly landing for jimmy usso in the process and staring up now
00:34:52at three mfts stalking their prey it got uglier by the second yeah jimmy wisely back into the ring
00:35:01and again a very irate solo sokoa you mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night
00:35:08after being pinned by jimmy usso united states championship a prestigious title the wcw version
00:35:17of course held by goldberg a number of times in his career the past couple of weeks for solos oh jimmy
00:35:25it has been a re-accumulation of power here with his new army and he expects everything to go his way
00:35:32and it simply hasn't been the case because of big jim oh solo sokoa catching jimmy up oh
00:35:39caught him spinning solo by sokoa covering a quick kick out by jimmy usso yeah that's surprising most
00:35:45guys stay down perhaps for the three count of that particular move but big jim really fired up tonight
00:35:51yeah and it's early on in the match and jimmy hasn't taken that quite amount of a lot of punishment yet
00:35:56now solo blocked by usso delivers a right hand i'll tell you right now you always fight a little
00:36:02tougher against your own brother i'll say that as a guy with an older brother myself oh and a right
00:36:07hand by solo drops jimmy beautiful uppercut right to the jaw perfect timing behind the officials back
00:36:17the united states champion solo sokoa has taken over this matchup against his brother jimmy usso
00:36:31on saturday night's main event i tell you i should bring the coal mine back because it has been insane
00:36:37out here at the announce table throughout the first portion of the show it's been nuts and michael cole's
00:36:41voice has gone a little higher there's a reason for that we'll show you in a second as solo
00:36:47sokoa is about to do major damage to the spine of big jim or is it yeah but big jim able to counter
00:36:53as these two battle on the apron and solo sokoa with the right hand jimmy usso trying to stay in
00:36:58this fight united states champion oh no spine first to the post there's more than one way to
00:37:08we simply cannot keep big jim down and that'll allow the number one contender the united states
00:37:15championship to maybe rally looking for a german suplex perhaps on the apron not a move usually in
00:37:21the playbook
00:37:21oh no under the apron solo sokoa landed on the back of his head
00:37:29oh god let's take another look at that big jim not known for his german suplex arsenal but when his
00:37:36little bro his most heated rival pulling out all the stops in pursuit of the united states championship well
00:37:43wade you know how difficult it is to get a title opportunity in your career here at wwe when you
00:37:48have when you have to capitalize and jimmy realizes that let's talk about difficult 15 years in the
00:37:53making finally you've got one it might be another 15 before you get another make it count big jim jim
00:37:58jimmy with a cross body lateral press he's going to hook the leg
00:38:04a near fall for jimmy usso referee daphne lashon right there how frustrating is that for big jim knowing
00:38:10how close he was to scoring his first slice of singles gold a millisecond away from victory and let's not
00:38:19forget the mfts mateo talatonga on the low out here at ringside looking on looking on menacingly
00:38:29lurking with intent oh and backing it on up well talatonga has already been involved in this one once but
00:38:37now big jim going skyward to the usos splash to win the championship solo at two another near fall
00:38:48i'll tell you what say whatever you want about solo sakura this man is a street fighting champion of the
00:38:54islands and he is quite simply double tough you might not like his methodology you might not like who he
00:39:01hangs out with but you have to respect the durability in that ring and now jimmy usso perhaps
00:39:10lining up for the kill here to put his younger brother solo sakura away and take the united
00:39:15states championship goal solo looking completely defenseless here wobbled rock the right for the
00:39:23caught him with a big kick and drives jimmy back and there's the spinning solo with authority
00:39:29by sakura what a championship level turn around for solo sakura who's looking to finish the job now
00:39:35well the samoan spike jimmy ducks underneath big kick to the face and another one and now jimmy looking
00:39:44to go up top again solo sakura completely glassy-eyed the body isn't cooperating
00:39:50jimmy heading up top jimmy heading up top solo going out of harm's way
00:39:59not down of the way by two of his mfts and jimmy though oh cross through up the top
00:40:07taking out everybody usso in the win three men down four if you include the perpetrator jimmy usso
00:40:17and now the official counting remember it's champion's advantage jimmy usso must pin or submit solo
00:40:25sakura to win the title here tonight solo sakura looks like he had zero fight left in his body but
00:40:32crucially the body is outside the ring vital seconds being lost here for jimmy usso and now talatango
00:40:39went for the big boot he's gonna run into a super kick by jimmy and the disqualification does not
00:40:46help jimmy usso at all here and another big punt down goes talatango solo sakura takes advantage
00:40:53tanga helping him out solo steals it
00:40:55here's your winner and still the united states champion solo sakura and now that monstrous talatango
00:41:10who cost jimmy usso the match now assaulting big jim
00:41:17solo sakura retains the goal what a master stroke what a master plan but perhaps
00:41:23the best plan at all is having the mfts in your corner yeah pack of rabbit aidas mateo and
00:41:33kongalowa i mean this squad might be invincible at this point just when everybody wrote off solo
00:41:42back to the top in a big way
00:41:49and a samoan spike to his older brother jimmy it wasn't enough to win the match solo's been begging
00:41:57jimmy and jimmy to rejoin the family rejoin the group for the longest time
00:42:02the samoan werewolf is back jacob
00:42:11fatu taken out a couple of weeks ago by the mfts who powerbonded through our announce table
00:42:21and now fatu to mateo and jacob fatu still not over the fact he lost the united states championship
00:42:27thanks to the mfts jacob is out here all gas and no breaks about to dog walk some fools and that's what
00:42:38what's going on to is doing and now the massive tall of tonga yes yes
00:42:50Tonga in the ring face-to-face.
00:43:01Look at how he towers over Jacob Batu.
00:43:05My God, a shade under seven feet tall.
00:43:09And Jacob Batu not backing down.
00:43:12He's gonna unload on Talatanga.
00:43:14Samoan Werewolf has no clue how to back down,
00:43:17but sometimes you're simply aren't given an option.
00:43:20Stop it!
00:43:22Hey, clear it up!
00:43:23Come on, clear it up!
00:43:27And Talatanga, though, set over the top rope by Jacob.
00:43:31Werewolf's gonna fly with a suicide dive!
00:43:34Jacob Batu's war with the MFTs has just begun, Wade.
00:43:50Oh, my God.
00:43:51That was insanity personified.
00:43:54Jacob Batu living dangerously, swinging for the fences.
00:43:59But if we know Solo Sokoa and the MFTs,
00:44:02there may well be some consequences going forward for the Samoan Werewolf.
00:44:07You know, tonight, the final match in the great career of Goldberg.
00:44:10It's been an emotional couple of weeks mentally for Goldberg.
00:44:13Of course, he lost his father-in-law a couple of weeks ago
00:44:15as he looks to focus on the match tonight.
00:44:18Also, the terrible flooding in the state of Texas,
00:44:20which occurred just down the road from the town that me and Goldberg live in.
00:44:24Both of us had friends and family members who were involved in that tragedy.
00:44:28Goldberg trying to put that out of his mind tonight.
00:44:31He told his son, Gage, that these moments he tries to react to
00:44:34and tries to channel those emotions into what he can do in the ring.
00:44:38It's much like the shock he had when he went from WCW to WWE.
00:44:53Goldberg on Raw!
00:44:55He is too much superhuman!
00:44:56What an intensity!
00:45:02Goldberg has climbed to the top of the most elite mountain!
00:45:10Goldberg turned back the clock!
00:45:13Goldberg's the Universal Champion!
00:45:15It's all about who's next!
00:45:19He is an icon, a two-time Universal Champion!
00:45:25The indomitable Goldberg!
00:45:28Goldberg!
00:45:29Goldberg!
00:45:30Goldberg!
00:45:31Goldberg!
00:45:32Goldberg!
00:45:33Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight in our main event,
00:45:35it is the final match in the iconic career of Goldberg.
00:45:38Goldberg, then he go out a champion.
00:45:40Goldberg vs. Gunther for the world title tonight.
00:45:43And earlier tonight, the situation between Jelly Roll and Logan Paul and Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:45:52Coming up next, an exclusive interview with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll, Saturday night's main event.
00:45:57He's in his position.
00:45:58I'm so sorry.
00:45:59He's in his position.
00:46:00I'm so sorry.
00:46:02Combo and individual tickets for SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium in 8th Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, August 2nd, and Sunday, August 3rd.
00:46:09JETS Jets, three weeks from tonight, are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:46:16And Saturday night's main event in Atlanta is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:46:22Trying Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:46:25Jelly Roll got toasted earlier tonight.
00:46:28Let's show you what happened after Randy Orton knocked off Drew McIntyre.
00:46:31Logan Paul would come in, and the titanium loaded!
00:46:33White hand would take out Orton.
00:46:35Dropping the Viper, then coming along to pick the bones.
00:46:37He's always ready to make a name for himself out of someone else's expense.
00:46:41Jelly Roll was not having that, though.
00:46:43Nice block and a sweet right hand to the Maverick, dropping the social media megastar.
00:46:49Yeah, but McIntyre from out of nowhere with a Claymore turning Jelly's brain to Jelly,
00:46:54as Drew McIntyre had a number of things to say to the superstar.
00:46:58What do you think is gonna happen to you?
00:47:00You step into my ring, you become a target.
00:47:04You're gonna remember this guy.
00:47:06You're screwed with Drew McIntyre.
00:47:08What the hell you think is he got it on my wall?
00:47:10That is how you do it.
00:47:12What are you doing?
00:47:15Damn it, man, I'm sorry.
00:47:16I should have never had you out there.
00:47:18That's on me.
00:47:19Excuse me, guys.
00:47:20I know better, I know better.
00:47:21Jelly, good to see you up right after that gnarly Claymore.
00:47:24Randy, I was hoping I could get a comment on everything that transpired both last night and tonight.
00:47:30I put my man in harm's way, Kathy.
00:47:32It's as simple as that.
00:47:33I should have never had him out there with Drew and even Logan out there.
00:47:36That was just, it was a bad call on my part.
00:47:38I apologize.
00:47:39No, no, no, I can't let you do that, Randy.
00:47:41I'm a grown man, but man, they have gravely underestimated me.
00:47:46They think I'm soft.
00:47:48I'm not Randy, I want them, I want them both, anywhere, anytime.
00:47:54All right, all right, I'm feeling that, I'm feeling that, and you know what?
00:47:58I do got a word for you, Kathy, and that word is SummerSlam.
00:48:02What's that, you and me?
00:48:06The revenge I want.
00:48:07That's what I'm talking about.
00:48:09What is it, RK Roll?
00:48:10RK Roll, I ain't like it.
00:48:12I like it.
00:48:14RK Roll, SummerSlam?
00:48:16I don't like it at all.
00:48:17Well, nonetheless, the Hall of Famers are out tonight.
00:48:19The Steiners, Rick and Scott.
00:48:21Scott had a number of matches over the years, of course, with Goldberg.
00:48:25Scott won it for Goldberg, and a steel cage on Nitro.
00:48:28Of course, Rick teamed with Goldberg before, and also a handful of singles matches
00:48:33with the icon, Goldberg, in the main event tonight.
00:48:36Two of the baddest dudes in the history of this industry.
00:48:47One, two, three, three, five.
00:49:03Now, the win, now, all.
00:49:07The following contest is scheduled for
00:49:11The following contest is scheduled for
00:49:16one fall, making it through the ring,
00:49:20being accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer,
00:49:24the Oracle, Paul Heyman, from Davenport, Iowa.
00:49:29Weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the 2025 Mr. Money in the Bank,
00:49:38Seth Brinkin Rollins.
00:49:45Let's not lose sight of the fact that Paul Heyman is, of course,
00:49:50carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:49:52Inside is a contract that Seth Rollins can cash in at any place at any time
00:49:57for a World Championship opportunity.
00:49:59Knowing that Gunther and Goldberg go at it in our main event in moments here
00:50:03on Saturday night's main event, could tonight be the night?
00:50:07A briefcase that in the right hands is as good as gold,
00:50:13and I would argue that in the hands of the Oracle, Paul Heyman,
00:50:18those are exactly the circumstances by which that gets converted to gold
00:50:23in the blink of an eye.
00:50:25Keep your eyes peeled.
00:50:28And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240 pounds,
00:50:46L.A. Knight.
00:50:49It's been a tumultuous week for L.A. Knight and Seth Rollins this past Monday night on Raw.
00:50:54Our main event, Seth Rollins and Penta.
00:50:57Rollins with a stomp and the win over Penta, and then it was a hit-and-run attack by L.A. Knight,
00:51:04who would deliver a BFT to Rollins, and then escape before Bronson and Braun could get to it.
00:51:11And then last night on Friday Night SmackDown, a different case.
00:51:14This was the Megastar post-victory, open to abuse and attack from two members of that power trio,
00:51:23Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed.
00:51:26You question just where the health of the Megastar is right now,
00:51:3024 hours removed from that particular attack.
00:51:34And no tape on the ribs, but you have to believe that midsection of L.A. Knight is smarting here tonight.
00:51:41For L.A. Knight, a massive opportunity against Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:51:44Knight said, quote, I want your dignity.
00:51:47I want justice, to be honest.
00:51:49I just want to hurt you.
00:51:51This all began back the night before Money in the Bank last month.
00:51:56Rollins and Company targeted his opponents in that match, including L.A. Knight.
00:52:01And Wade, since that moment, L.A. Knight has not forgotten.
00:52:04Well, he's not forgotten.
00:52:05He was also taken out of the King of the Ring tournament, thanks to attacks from Seth Rollins and crew.
00:52:10So Seth Rollins and his men have really hamstrung the career of L.A. Knight in recent months,
00:52:17and he's not going to let that lie.
00:52:18Two-time United States Champion L.A. Knight battling the five-time world champion Seth Rollins.
00:52:24Ooh.
00:52:26Shots of the gut there, registered a little too hard.
00:52:29Oh, and a high elbow.
00:52:30L.A. Knight, perhaps a little sign of that attack from last night coming to the floor early here.
00:52:35And now L.A. Knight.
00:52:37And again, those ribs just collapsing, going for that falcon arrow or suplex.
00:52:41And wait a second.
00:52:42Looking for a pedigree, and L.A. Knight for the BFT, blocked by Seth Rollins.
00:52:46And Rollins now launched outside the ring to the floor.
00:52:49Got to argue beating Seth freaking Rollins when you're not at 100%.
00:52:53Oh!
00:52:54May not actually be possible, but blocking out that pain right now apparently is the megastar tapping into that Kvorka that is running wild in this arena.
00:53:05Rollins bounced off our announce table, which has become a playground for our superstars here tonight.
00:53:12And I don't think he's done yet.
00:53:17Rollins bounced right into our announce table.
00:53:19Yeah, not quite enough damage was done to the announce table apparently.
00:53:23Let's finish the job, why don't we?
00:53:25And now L.A. Knight, clothesline and hit Rollins hard.
00:53:29You could hear that thump.
00:53:31L.A. Knight in control.
00:53:36The body scissors applied by Seth Rollins here, live in Atlanta.
00:53:40Nearly 12,000 on hand for this match between Rollins and L.A. Knight.
00:53:45Seth's taking control.
00:53:46Yeah, and I don't understand the megastar's behavior of L.A.
00:53:49I've sung his praises from the very beginning, but all the Kvorka in the wall cannot explain
00:53:54why L.A. Knight is dicing with death, taking on Solo Sokoa's MFTs on SmackDown
00:54:00and Seth Rollins' power trio on Raw simultaneously.
00:54:04Well, I mean, I give him credit.
00:54:05It might not be a wise thing to do, but you gotta praise him for having the bravery to do it.
00:54:11Bravery is one thing.
00:54:12How much a glutton for punishment can one man be?
00:54:15Everyone has their limits, even megastars, and we may well have found that limit tonight.
00:54:20Rollins, oh, and a knee right to the midsection.
00:54:23Great strategy by the architect Seth Rollins and the visionary now.
00:54:27Heading up to the top rope, looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:54:30Frost splash to the injured midsection and ribs.
00:54:32Rollins for the win.
00:54:34Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:54:36And what was it L.A. Knight said?
00:54:37It was a quote from you.
00:54:38I want to hurt you tonight, Seth Rollins.
00:54:41Well, that has done a complete 180.
00:54:43It is the megastar who is in severe danger here tonight, thanks to this abuse from Seth Freakin' Rollins.
00:54:50WWE fans here chanting L.A. Knight as Rollins looks to quiet the masses.
00:55:06Chants can help.
00:55:07Chants can pull you through, but-
00:55:09But at the end of the day-
00:55:11How would you-
00:55:12They're still singing my song.
00:55:13Anybody ever chanting-
00:55:14No, they're chanting for your opponents.
00:55:15That's why I kept losing.
00:55:16My song.
00:55:18And L.A. Knight blocked it right.
00:55:21Now Knight trying to fight back, perhaps on adrenaline alone.
00:55:24Blocked it right, and he's now blocking out the clear pain in that midsection.
00:55:28But somehow it's working, tapping into that frenzy in this arena.
00:55:32Oh, once again, one shot and down is the megastar.
00:55:37And L.A. Knight with a close line.
00:55:40And now Knight looking to rally.
00:55:43Oh, and a neck breaker.
00:55:45Oh, what a flurry here from L.A. Knight just went.
00:55:48DDT.
00:55:49He was looking written off.
00:55:52As good as new.
00:55:58And Carl, whose game is this?
00:56:02L.A. Knight.
00:56:04Yeah.
00:56:05Elbow delivered.
00:56:07Knight, cover.
00:56:09And Rollins kicks it too.
00:56:12And this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the game.
00:56:17Blocking out that pain and turning this one on a six-pence.
00:56:22Taking full control of the match.
00:56:24Almost putting away the visionary.
00:56:27Seth freaking Rollins.
00:56:30What else does L.A. Knight have in store here?
00:56:32And if you're Rollins, a lot of pressure laid.
00:56:35You can ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're trying to build with this new group.
00:56:39And Breaker and Reed and Heyman and Rollins.
00:56:41Look at the Money in the Bank briefcase.
00:56:43You've got the Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:56:45The uncheckable power of Reed.
00:56:47And Breaker.
00:56:48You don't want to be the figurehead of that crew.
00:56:51And pulling out losses when the deck was initially stacked in your favor.
00:56:55LA Knight fighting through the pain.
00:56:57The injured midsection.
00:56:58Looking for the BFT.
00:56:59Seth Rollins gonna make his way out to the apron.
00:57:03Hurting disaster there.
00:57:04Best footwork in the game.
00:57:06Seth freaking Rollins for the past ten plus years.
00:57:09Can move faster than anyone when he needs to.
00:57:12And boy, did he need to.
00:57:14Averting danger from that BFT.
00:57:18And turning this one in his own favor.
00:57:20And Rollins went to the top rope.
00:57:21LA Knight made him pay.
00:57:23Look at concern on the face of Paul Heyman.
00:57:25As Heyman looks on down on the apron.
00:57:28And a big chop by LA Knight.
00:57:30Remember, Heyman is hooked to everything in his career.
00:57:36To Seth Rollins.
00:57:40Constantly hooked himself to success.
00:57:42That has been the modus operandum of Paul Heyman from the very beginning.
00:57:48Yeah, ever since WrestleMania when he turned his back on Roman Reigns.
00:57:52And now LA Knight to the top rope.
00:57:54Knight now.
00:57:55Tremendous athleticism.
00:57:57Does he have enough left in the core with the injured midsection?
00:58:00No.
00:58:01Rollins able to slip underneath.
00:58:04And Rollins with a buckle bomb.
00:58:07Always got a solution.
00:58:09That is the Seth freaking Rollins way.
00:58:11Went for the stomp LA Knight.
00:58:13With Rollins up.
00:58:15And his midsection gave out again.
00:58:18And Rollins with a kick to the face.
00:58:20Unique suplex attempt there from LA Knight.
00:58:22Simply didn't have the power left in that frame.
00:58:25That heavily fatigued body.
00:58:28That has absorbed so much abuse of late.
00:58:31And it's about to get even worse.
00:58:32And now Rollins.
00:58:33And there's that flying senton.
00:58:35Springboard senton by Rollins.
00:58:37And now a moonsault lands on his feet.
00:58:39May have tweaked his knee.
00:58:40He saw Seth favor the knee this past Monday.
00:58:43May have tweaked it again.
00:58:44And now LA Knight with an opportunity.
00:58:46Rollins into the corner.
00:58:47The official there to check on Rollins.
00:58:49No.
00:58:50This could be a serious situation here.
00:58:54Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:58:56Heyman over to check on his man.
00:58:57That is a knee that has been surgically repaired in the past.
00:59:01Generally heavily strapped up.
00:59:03And that is a look of panic in the eye of Seth freaking Rollins.
00:59:07And that is not what you want to see.
00:59:09Panic on the face of Paul Heyman as well.
00:59:11As a superstar you know full well when you've done yourself a major mischief.
00:59:16I can speak to that.
00:59:17Well and look at this Wade.
00:59:18The doctor.
00:59:19The ringside doctor now is over consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins
00:59:26and Seth's knee.
00:59:29I know it's just sucked the wind out of this arena.
00:59:32Well we talked about the fact he tweaked that knee earlier this week.
00:59:38Rollins hobbling back up into the corner LA Knight.
00:59:51BFT, BFT by LA Knight.
00:59:54Cover down.
00:59:55Hook of the leg and Knight with the win.
01:00:00Here is your winner, LA Knight.
01:00:05Well it's a win but it is not the kind of victory that LA Knight came for tonight.
01:00:09And that is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
01:00:15And that is a truly catastrophic moment here at Saturday night's main event.
01:00:26Well undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez faces undefeated three division king Terrence Bud Crawford.
01:00:33An historic clash that transcends titles at Saturday, September 13th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
01:00:39This is a once in a lifetime event that marks the beginning of a bold new era in boxing.
01:00:43Register now for access to pre-sale tickets before they go on sale to the general public at WWE.com slash boxing.
01:00:52Well let's take another look at what happened to Seth Rollins, a very serious situation moments ago.
01:00:57Rollins tweaking the knee once again but it appears to be much more serious than we first thought.
01:01:03As you take a look at Rollins now coming off the second rope.
01:01:06Looking for a moonsault, landed on his feet and his knee buckled.
01:01:09You saw him go right to the knee.
01:01:11He collapsed in the corner.
01:01:12He told the doctor he could continue and LA Knight would deliver the BFT.
01:01:18So best wishes to Seth Rollins as he's helped in the back now.
01:01:22Yeah we say it time and time again it is a dangerous world inside those ropes Seth.
01:01:26We are hoping for the best for you.
01:01:28Good luck.
01:01:29And coming up next it's our main event in an interview with CBS Sports this week.
01:01:33Goldberg acknowledged the enormity of this moment.
01:01:36He said not many people have the opportunity to go out on their own terms.
01:01:41That is a quote.
01:01:42So this is truly a privilege for me tonight.
01:01:46Up next, Goldberg, Gunther for the world title.
01:01:49Gunther, a few months ago you started something with me and my family in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:02:02Gage, I really hope for you that Bill is a better father than he is a professional wrestler.
01:02:10I am going to make sure that I end it in Atlanta, Georgia, Saturday night main event.
01:02:25You're next.
01:02:28I am next.
01:02:34Usually being next means getting speared, jackhammer, one, two, three.
01:02:42But it is not 1999 anymore.
01:02:46And right now, I'm the guy.
01:02:50Bill Goldberg is not capable of taking the World Heavyweight Championship away from me.
01:02:55At Saturday night's main event, I'm going to bully you.
01:02:59And the myth of Bill Goldberg forever dies.
01:03:05I don't care if I've got one foot in the grave.
01:03:21Nobody's ever going to talk to me like that.
01:03:26Gunther, you're next.
01:03:34The legendary WWE Hall of Famer will make his final walk to the ring.
01:03:39As Goldberg is set to class with the ring general, Gunther.
01:03:43And our main event next, live on NBC.

01:07:46Can we order Jimmy John's?
01:07:48I know you've worked up an appetite tonight with all of those reads, but what a night it has been.
01:07:52Thus far, and it's about to get even better.
01:08:13Ladies and gentlemen, Wade Barrett and I had a very interesting conversation with this man,
01:08:18the world champion, Gunther, earlier today.
01:08:21I thought he'd be more humble when I asked him the question about how he felt having Goldberg's last match of his career.
01:08:28Yeah, well, you apparently frequently get the temperature wrong, Michael Cole,
01:08:32because sentimentality is a treat for weak men.
01:08:36Gunther told us, I am here to humiliate this man who has no place in my industry.
01:08:43I am here to extinguish this stain that is Goldberg for good.
01:08:48Wade, you have to wonder, is Gunther perhaps looking past the 58-year-old Goldberg tonight?
01:08:55To the threat that looms on the horizon of possibly CM Punk or maybe Seth Rollins, depending on what happened with the injury tonight.
01:09:01But is Gunther looking past Goldberg tonight?
01:09:04There is a golden rule in the fight game.
01:09:06The last thing a heavyweight ever loses is his punch.
01:09:11We saw that this past Monday on Raw when Goldberg dropped the ring general with a sweet right hook to the jaw.
01:09:20Eleven is so just that he's ready for it.
01:09:31He is definitely not going to pay for it for was Tom Tan but he hasn't seen any mistake on seine a movie.
01:09:40The last thing a movie won all for varick em.
01:09:46Oh . . .
01:10:14Let's go.
01:10:44Let's go.
01:11:14Let's go.
01:11:44And just a reminder, here in Atlanta tomorrow night, an historic evening.
01:11:59The all-women's premium live event, Evolution, gets underway at 7 Eastern, 4 Pacific, exclusively
01:12:05on Peacock.
01:12:07But now it is time for our main event on Saturday night's main event.
01:12:11The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
01:12:27Introducing first, the challenger from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 270 pounds, WWE Hall
01:12:47of Famer, Goldberg!
01:12:51And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria, weighing in at 250 pounds.
01:13:09He is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Ring General, Gunther!
01:13:18From a humble beginning in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a massive star on the Georgia Bulldogs football
01:13:28team, to a professional football career, to the summer of 1997 and the start of a professional
01:13:35wrestling career, and a 173-match undefeated streak, which included the biggest win of his career
01:13:42nearly 27 years ago to the day, when Goldberg in Atlanta, Georgia, defeated Hulk Hogan for
01:13:50the WCW Championship to multi-world titles in WWE.
01:13:54This is it, the final time, we witness the awesome intensity, the power, the greatness, that is Goldberg!
01:14:05What a clash of generations of styles and legacies.
01:14:10An important note as well.
01:14:12Goldberg!
01:14:14Goldberg!
01:14:16Goldberg!
01:14:18Goldberg!
01:14:20Goldberg!
01:14:22Goldberg!
01:14:24Goldberg!
01:14:27The official in this match is the veteran Charles Robinson, the man who has refereed hundreds
01:14:32of matches in the career of Goldberg, including the historic night on July 6, 1998, when Goldberg
01:14:40defeated Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan, to win the championship here in Atlanta.
01:14:46Charles Robinson on hand for the final match of Goldberg's career.
01:14:50So wait, early going, what does Goldberg have to do against Guthrie?
01:14:54Well, I think Jesse the Body Ventura hit the nail on the head earlier tonight.
01:14:58Goldberg has to end this quickly.
01:15:00The longer it goes, the more this will favor the big Austrian champ.
01:15:05You don't get great gas mileage when you get up there in years.
01:15:10That is an athletic rule.
01:15:12And the longer this goes for Goldberg, those opportunities of victory diminish.
01:15:17Ooh!
01:15:18All right!
01:15:19The chop having a little effect on Goldberg, who breaks out in that trademark smile and
01:15:24laugh.
01:15:25Gunther said he would not be intimidated by the intensity of Goldberg, but it's a different
01:15:30story when you're face to face with the Hall of Famer.
01:15:32The two men who are simply built for war.
01:15:37Ooh!
01:15:38But Gunther now realizing perhaps the size of the task that lies ahead of him.
01:15:44But what about the task that lies ahead of Goldberg?
01:15:46This is his first match in over three years, his last match, 2022.
01:15:51The Elimination Chamber here in WWE, and Goldberg taking the fight to Gunther.
01:15:56Well, your hometown, your family's here, retirement hanging over you, the end of a career.
01:16:02You have to be a cold, ruthless, fighting machine in that ring, but there's so much emotion
01:16:08bobbling inside of Goldberg, he has to keep that locked down.
01:16:13The big heavyweight boxer coming out of retirement.
01:16:16Does he have that one big blow left?
01:16:18Does Goldberg have one spear left?
01:16:20Does he have one jackhammer left?
01:16:22Now, you mentioned a little earlier that Goldberg had said in an interview he has
01:16:26physical ailments, one of which was that knee.
01:16:28And look at it, heavily, he's got a brace on the left knee.
01:16:31Well, I thought that was absolute insanity.
01:16:33You've got a prep fiend like Gunther, who absorbs this kind of information,
01:16:36immediately targeting that knee of Goldberg.
01:16:39And now the power of Goldberg sending Gunther to the center of the ring,
01:16:42and the champ's in trouble.
01:16:44Yeah, I'm impressed with Goldberg in the early going, that raw power coming to the fore.
01:16:48And he's stalking Gunther.
01:16:50Goldberg looking for a spear, and Gunther moving out of harm's way.
01:16:55Can Gunther, you see the expression on Goldberg's face,
01:16:58realize that that may have been his opportunity, that may have been his moment.
01:17:02Well, that's frustration on Goldberg.
01:17:04You let that chance slip away, you may not get another one against the competitor
01:17:08as good, as well-rounded as the world heavyweight champ, Gunther.
01:17:12Well, I've been impressed so far with the way that Goldberg has taken the fight,
01:17:16but again, Gunther's a bad knee.
01:17:18Now a chop to Goldberg, and Goldberg trying to fight it off.
01:17:20And another chop by the champ.
01:17:22Well, I'll tell you, I've never seen anybody shrug off those chops
01:17:25quite like Goldberg has thus far.
01:17:27They're registering, they're stinging, but they're not dropping the big man.
01:17:30And Gunther's sent toward the corner, Goldberg looking for a spear,
01:17:33and Goldberg through the barricade into the timekeeper's area.
01:17:37Gunther able to move out of harm's way.
01:17:39Goldberg exploding the barricade with a spear, and Goldberg's in trouble.
01:17:43Could be a golden opportunity for the world champ.
01:17:46Gunther has turned his attention to the injured knee,
01:17:53that brace covering the left knee of Goldberg.
01:17:57Gunther has been attacking that knee throughout the break.
01:17:59Yes, he has.
01:18:00Gunther is precision and discipline.
01:18:02Goldberg is destruction in Comet.
01:18:06And we saw that destruction against our barricade a few minutes ago,
01:18:11and it may well have destroyed Goldberg's chances in this match.
01:18:15He hasn't looked the same since.
01:18:16Yeah, Goldberg trying to dig down deep, final time in his career, in the ring.
01:18:19This time for the world title.
01:18:21And his adopted hometown of Atlanta.
01:18:24And Goldberg fighting back now.
01:18:29Goldberg's got a little bit left.
01:18:31Tapping into the energy of this hometown audience.
01:18:34One last dance for the champ.
01:18:37Yeah, right.
01:18:38The dance may be over here.
01:18:39Right back to the knee.
01:18:41As Goldberg collapses in the ring.
01:18:44Well, Gunther just did his homework, did his prep work,
01:18:47and has executed almost from the word go tonight.
01:18:51That feeling out process early was all Goldberg,
01:18:54but it's changed in a big way now.
01:18:56Yeah, this match so far has been the blueprint of Gunther throughout his career.
01:19:00Intimidate.
01:19:01Come on, Goldberg.
01:19:02Physically overpower.
01:19:03Come on, Goldberg.
01:19:06What you wanna do?
01:19:07Trash talk.
01:19:08Embarrassed Goldberg here, but that may be a major error from the ring general.
01:19:13Yes.
01:19:14From Goldberg, not enough to drop the world heavyweight champion.
01:19:17It's hard to intimidate the master of intimidation and the power.
01:19:20Five buster by Goldberg.
01:19:22On one good leg, there is still fight in the former champ, in the legend.
01:19:29He's hurting, he's stumbling.
01:19:32But this warrior is gonna go out on his shield tonight.
01:19:35Win, lose, or draw.
01:19:37Ganga, knee buckling as he used it to deliver a blow to Gunther.
01:19:41Now the body shot's in the corner.
01:19:43Gunther with a chop, and another one.
01:19:49The world champ exploding out of the corner.
01:19:51Goldberg is just so hampered, when he gets on the offense he sometimes is not able to follow up a flurry.
01:19:58Allowing the ring general to recover, but that may have turned the tide.
01:20:04Yeah, that's why Goldberg's gotta keep Gunther close, the separation does not help him.
01:20:08Goldberg notorious for those heavy hands, those heavy boots, and throwing it all the way of the ring general.
01:20:15Yeah, but Goldberg heavily favoring the injured knee.
01:20:19And again, Gunther now.
01:20:22And Goldberg able to back body drop the champ.
01:20:25Just as he was locked in for that power bomb that Gunther is known for and weighed on the stance.
01:20:31Goldberg now, oh no!
01:20:33Sparing the official Charles Robinson.
01:20:36Inadvertently, as Gunther moved out of harm's way.
01:20:39Oh God, Charles Robinson once again taking the brunt of a major attack there.
01:20:46You're right, completely inadvertent.
01:20:48Such was the nimble feat of the ring general.
01:20:51And now Gunther, from behind, right back to the knee of Goldberg.
01:20:56The official's down, and Gunther can do whatever he wants now.
01:21:00And we're gonna need another referee, Charles Robinson will not be getting up from that spear.
01:21:05And Goldberg in trouble as Gunther looks to rip the protective knee brace from the knee of the icon.
01:21:12Just tearing away at will now, is the ring general looking to humiliate Goldberg.
01:21:19Well, not just humiliate him, but destroy him, damage him.
01:21:23Gunther has previously been about the sport, proving he's the greatest on the planet.
01:21:28And this is something very different.
01:21:31Refusing to be embarrassed by the return of a former great in Goldberg.
01:21:37This is a statement from the world heavyweight champ.
01:21:42Goldberg, one of the toughest men in the history of professional wrestling.
01:21:46But he has a vulnerability.
01:21:48And that, of course, the injured knee.
01:21:50And now the knee is exposed as Gunther begins to use the protective brace as a weapon.
01:21:55There's no official out here to stop any of this.
01:21:58Goldberg clearly out of his prime physically.
01:22:01But the mind, the body, the heart wants to fight on.
01:22:04You have to respect now.
01:22:07Right to the back of the head of Goldberg.
01:22:09Hope really beginning to slip away now.
01:22:12Of a dream ending for a legendary career.
01:22:17And Gunther now over toward Bill's son, Gage, his wife Wanda's out there as well.
01:22:35Take your eyes down, come on.
01:22:37Take your eyes down.
01:22:38What you mean?
01:22:39Come on.
01:22:40Take your eyes down.
01:22:42Gage's not gonna take that.
01:22:43He's over the barricade.
01:22:44Remember, he was at the heart of this when it all began in Atlanta last year.
01:22:48When Gunther humiliated Goldberg and his family here in his hometown.
01:22:52Well, I think it's lucky for Gage and our security were on the ball for once.
01:22:56That could have ended incredibly badly for Goldberg's kick.
01:23:01And now Goldberg!
01:23:02Spear!
01:23:03Goldberg hit the spear!
01:23:04Goldberg hit the spear on Gunther!
01:23:07Does he have something left?
01:23:09Does Goldberg have one jackhammer left?
01:23:12He does!
01:23:26My God!
01:23:27Jackhammer!
01:23:28It's up!
01:23:29And there's a new official!
01:23:31Sean Bennett rushed into the ring, but again, the bad knee!
01:23:34Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away!
01:23:37Dragging himself!
01:23:38Falls into the cover!
01:23:39Shoulders down!
01:23:40Gunther kicks out at two!
01:23:43Gunther kicked out at two!
01:23:45Off the jackhammer by Goldberg!
01:23:49Oh my God!
01:23:53Gunther completely taking his eye off the ball thinking this was a parade getting distracted
01:23:59by Goldberg's kid at ringside!
01:24:02Goldberg pouncing!
01:24:03Now the big one-two whammy with that jackhammer but the landing on that knee!
01:24:08And now Goldberg with a sleeper!
01:24:11The sleeper locked in on Goldberg!
01:24:13The sleeper's in!
01:24:14Goldberg won't tap!
01:24:15Gunther's gonna have to pass Goldberg out here!
01:24:17Goldberg trying to fight back!
01:24:18Grabbing anything he can but that is 16 deep!
01:24:21And Goldberg now fading!
01:24:22Goldberg is fading!
01:24:23Goldberg is fading!
01:24:25Goldberg with one last gasp!
01:24:26To break the sleeper!
01:24:27Goldberg fighting back!
01:24:28Loves to his belly!
01:24:29Gunther's still in the sleeper locked in!
01:24:30Gunther's got it in good!
01:24:31Goldberg doesn't have anything left!
01:24:32All that oxygen cut off!
01:24:33The blow cut off and fading!
01:24:34It's Goldberg!
01:24:35And Goldberg is out!
01:24:36Gunther retains!
01:24:37Here is your winner!
01:24:38And still the World Heavyweight Champion!
01:24:42The Ring General!
01:24:43Goldberg!
01:24:44And with that it's over!
01:24:45A 28-year career!
01:24:47One of the most dominant in the history of professional wrestling!
01:24:49The World Heavyweight Champion!
01:24:51The World Heavyweight Champion!
01:24:53And with that it's over!
01:24:54A 28-year career!
01:24:55One of the most dominant in the history of professional wrestling!
01:24:59An icon who threw millions and carried an industry on his back!
01:25:16For Goldberg, it's not who's next anymore!
01:25:20But what's next for Goldberg outside the ring?
01:25:24Made in Georgia!
01:25:45Bill, tonight it's all about you!
01:25:48Go right ahead!
01:25:49First off, I don't think I've ever lost here in Atlanta!
01:25:53So I do apologize for going out a little subpar!
01:25:58I've got over 100 friends and family that came in from all over the world!
01:26:06And I just gotta say, I cannot thank you all enough!
01:26:11The fans in Atlanta have been absolutely wonderful!
01:26:17I love you!
01:26:19I couldn't have done it without you!
01:26:21Thank you!
01:26:22Thank you!
