00:00:00Together.
00:00:30What are you noticing about this spectacle?
00:00:32Saturday Night Spain event is presented by Jimmy John's.
00:00:37Try 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.
00:00:54And he's done so with the Oracle Paul Heyman.
00:00:56The heavy hitters Breaker and Reed.
00:00:58And tonight, look who's coming for him.
00:01:01L.A. Knight.
00:01:04The mega star 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 taking aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:24And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:27Randy's been battling the very best.
00:01:30But now, a long time adversary has returned in Drew McIntyre for this showcase event.
00:01:37Meanwhile, a family feud goes to the next level.
00:01:42Solo Sokoa, the United States Champion.
00:01:45He's put together what he calls the MFTs by his side.
00:01:49But that family tree includes an older brother who refuses to join in.
00:01:55Jimmy Uso is out to claim his first singles title in his long WWE career.
00:02:00Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship Main Event.
00:02:04Gunther crossed the line, made things personal here in Atlanta.
00:02:08And now he has to defend his title.
00:02:10Against Georgia's Barrione, 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.

00:06:58I'm being brought to joy,
00:07:05I am being fueled by him.
00:07:10the following contest is scheduled for one fall making his way to the ring being accompanied by
00:07:35four-time Grammy-nominated country artist Jelly Roll from 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. We'll show you what happened in just a little bit, but Randy Orton kicking us off tonight
00:08:03in front of nearly 12,000 in Atlanta for Saturday night's main event.
00:08:33I'm here.
00:08:35I'm here.
00:08:37I'm here in theizziness of my dream, I'm the bitch's party, I'm here in theizziness of my dream, I'm here in theizziness of my dream, I ain't here in my dream.
00:10:21And his opponent, being accompanied by Logan Paul, from here in Scotland, weighing in at 275 pounds, Drew McIntyre.
00:10:31Well, I'm not shocked to see these two hypocrites hanging out together.
00:10:37Let's take it back to last night on SmackDown.
00:10:39Jelly Roll was performing.
00:10:41The WWE doesn't need a Jelly Roll.
00:10:52The WWE needs a Logan Paul.
00:10:55Everybody back there from top to bottom does everything that they can do to make sure that Logan Paul looks at...
00:11:03And then McIntyre with an ambush, Wade, and a Claymore, and Logan Paul went on loan.
00:11:09Seizing the opportunity to pick the bones until Jelly Roll got involved in an irate...
00:11:15Logan Paul, rushing Jelly Roll set right afterwards, vowing vengeance.
00:11:22You are looking at the man who claims he has evolved over the past decade and a half here in WWE.
00:11:29None other than the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:11:33He's been chastising Randy Orton for a couple of weeks now, claiming that Randy could not pull the trigger against Cody Rhodes in their big matchup.
00:11:44That Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:11:48Well, certainly an element of true to what Drew McIntyre said, and it clearly hit a raw nerve with Randy Orton, who probably RKO'd McIntyre one week ago.
00:12:00Hence, McIntyre's retort with last night's Claymore.
00:12:04One for one now.
00:12:05For the renewal of a great all-time rivalry here tonight with McIntyre and Randy Orton.
00:12:10Their first match, one-on-one, was back in 2011.
00:12:14McIntyre versus Orton.
00:12:15In 2020, they had an unbelievable rivalry.
00:12:21They consisted of a SummerSlam match and an ambulance match.
00:12:26And Randy Orton, a hell in a cell.
00:12:29And McIntyre winning a no disqualification and no countout.
00:12:32Tremendous history between these two.
00:12:33Wade, two men you know extremely well.
00:12:35Yeah, and they, more importantly, know each other extremely well.
00:12:39They're acutely aware of how dangerous their opponent is this evening.
00:12:43McIntyre sent over the top rope.
00:12:46And now Randy Orton, the Viper, staring down Logan Paul.
00:12:51And Orton now went for that classic back suplex to McIntyre.
00:12:57So easy.
00:12:59He is most opponents.
00:13:00And McIntyre, goal!
00:13:01Going to deliver Orton's own move to him on the top of our announce table.
00:13:05And that's that previously dead power back of Orton once again, taking the brung of the punishment in the early goings here.
00:13:12Another one to Orton, already favoring his back.
00:13:16McIntyre dominating early here on NBC.
00:13:18We are back on Saturday night's main event.
00:13:24Nearly 12,000 in attendance tonight.
00:13:27State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia.
00:13:29Kicking off the night with a renewal of a great rivalry.
00:13:31Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:13:33Randy Orton starting to fight back in this match.
00:13:36But McIntyre sending Randy into the corner.
00:13:38And again, the lower back has been the target.
00:13:40Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:41And Logan Paul clearly looking on, enjoying what he's seeing.
00:13:44Jelly roll less.
00:13:45So, you'll remember at Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton.
00:13:50That superplex in the early goings tweaked the lower back of the Viper.
00:13:53We saw it.
00:13:54The world saw it.
00:13:55I guarantee you Drew McIntyre saw it too.
00:13:58Yes, Randy Orton!
00:14:00What happened to you?
00:14:02And McIntyre questioning what has happened to Randy Orton.
00:14:05We mentioned earlier McIntyre questioning whether or not Randy had the killer instinct anymore.
00:14:10When he wouldn't go to the trigger against Cody Rhodes.
00:14:13And those eyes of the Viper just narrowed somewhat.
00:14:17And Randy exploded out of the corner with a clothesline.
00:14:20And here comes the WWE's Apex Predator.
00:14:23Well, really a good idea to start goading the Viper.
00:14:27But nice move there from McIntyre.
00:14:29Putting the break zone.
00:14:30The Glasgow kiss by McIntyre.
00:14:32Launched out to the apron.
00:14:35And now Drew headed up to the top rope.
00:14:38Scottish Warrior has to roll through.
00:14:40Power slam by Randy.
00:14:41He got outwitted the first time.
00:14:45But he connected that time.
00:14:47Yeah, both men going counter for counter.
00:14:49Move for move here.
00:14:51Trying to second guess their opponent the entire time.
00:14:53And wait up.
00:14:54It might be payback time.
00:14:55And now it's Randy Orton to McIntyre.
00:14:57And Randy Orton is going to make McIntyre pay a second time.
00:15:06And I don't believe the Viper's done yet.
00:15:09A third time.
00:15:11McIntyre on the announce table.
00:15:13And now Randy Orton staring down Logan Paul.
00:15:16And Logan is caught between Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:15:19Logan took a fair few cheap shots at Randy Orton last night.
00:15:23Oh, and right to the throat.
00:15:26McIntyre using the distraction by Logan Paul to his advantage.
00:15:30How important a corner man can be in this game.
00:15:40Orton.
00:15:41Think it's Randy Orton that's raping DDT.
00:15:45And Randy's taking over.
00:15:46Viper's ready to strike.
00:15:48And Logan Paul causing the distraction.
00:15:56Well, how vital.
00:15:58McIntyre with a Claymore to Randy Orton.
00:16:02Hook of the leg.
00:16:03Randy able to get his foot on the bottom rope before a count of three.
00:16:07Referee Sean Bennett in perfect position as we take another look.
00:16:11Just utter devastation from McIntyre.
00:16:13The fix was in.
00:16:14The distraction from Logan Paul.
00:16:16A flush Claymore.
00:16:18But a veteran Viper knowing exactly where he was around the showdown now.
00:16:23Jelly Roll on Logan Paul.
00:16:26You're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:16:28And I told you that yesterday.
00:16:30And I'm going to tell you again.
00:16:31You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:35Oh, my brother.
00:16:36I'm pushing you there.
00:16:38Logan Paul's not my Jelly Roll.
00:16:41It's Jelly Roll on Paul's face as Paul tries to retreat.
00:16:45And I'll McIntyre barking at the country music superstar.
00:16:52You're going to fall to my business.
00:16:54You want to fight.
00:16:55You get in here and fight me.
00:16:57You want to fight.
00:16:59Fight you, Mike.
00:17:00I dare you.
00:17:01Don't cry.
00:17:02That's what I thought.
00:17:07Nothing.
00:17:09Nothing.
00:17:10Smart move, Jelly Roll.
00:17:12Keep the hell out of now.
00:17:13And now fight.
00:17:14Know your limits.
00:17:15McIntyre.
00:17:15And Randy Orton.
00:17:16An RKO.
00:17:17Out of nowhere.
00:17:18By Orton.
00:17:19Here's the cover.
00:17:22Orton with the win.
00:17:23Randy Orton with an RKO out of nowhere.
00:17:39Knocks off McIntyre.
00:17:42Back to the issue with Jelly Roll and Logan Paul here at ringside.
00:17:47Well, that was a major distraction from the outside from Jelly Roll, who needs to stick
00:17:52to music.
00:17:53And now, one lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:17:59And now Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:02Paul with that big right hand connecting.
00:18:05Jolly Roll has seen enough.
00:18:17Jolly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:21But he's not going to put up with his friend being beaten up here tonight.
00:18:26And now Jolly Roll slinging Paul across the ring.
00:18:33And Jolly Roll!
00:18:35Jolly Roll with a right hand!
00:18:37Paul down!
00:18:38Paul is down!
00:18:39And Logan will get his friend!
00:18:48Jolly Roll with a right hand!
00:18:50Woo!
00:18:59No!
00:19:00A Claymore by McIntyre to Jolly Roll!
00:19:04As he was tucking on a falling Randy Orton!
00:19:06What if you think was going to happen to you?
00:19:08You step into my ring!
00:19:10You become a target!
00:19:12You can remember this night!
00:19:14You screwed with Drew McIntyre!
00:19:16What the hell do you think?
00:19:17He got it all right, Paul!
00:19:19He got his way to use it!
00:19:20Well, if you ask me, that is exactly what Jolly Roll deserved!
00:19:24Listen, Cole, I play a little guitar on my off day!
00:19:26Doesn't mean I can pack out the honky-tonks!
00:19:29Stick to your leg, Jolly Roll!
00:19:32You are not a fighter!
00:19:34Well, at the end of the day, Wade, the match was over!
00:19:38Randy Orton was getting beaten up by Logan Paul, and all what Jolly Roll did was come
00:19:42to the aid of his friend, and he suffered a Claymore at the hands of McIntyre!
00:19:47And this is a serious situation here, and we need some medical help!
00:19:51If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring!
00:19:55Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, yes, Logan Paul, active competitors!
00:20:00License! Credential!
00:20:03Jolly Roll is a musician!
00:20:05Stay out on the ring!
00:20:17Jolly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside, and Jolly Roll had enough, and I can't quite
00:20:23blame him here!
00:20:26And then he might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was pivotal in
00:20:31this match, because Drew was caught napping, and an RKO out of nowhere put McIntyre to sleep
00:20:39for good in this one!
00:20:40And then Randy Orton, well, he would be attacked by not only the Logan Paul, the sneak attack with
00:20:45that titanium-loaded right hand, dropping Randy Orton, and as Logan Paul teed off on
00:20:50a defenseless Orton, Jolly Roll had had enough!
00:20:53Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring, a beautiful right hook from
00:20:59Jolly Roll, dropping the Maverick, but when you get in the ring, bad things happen, and
00:21:04the sweetest Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down!
00:21:09What did you think was gonna happen to you?
00:21:12You step into my ring, you've become a target!
00:21:16I don't want any idea, what you just said!
00:21:17Make it make sense!
00:21:18What do you do now, let's make it make sense!
00:21:20You both play favorites!
00:21:21Everyone does not have any favorite people!
00:21:23You understand?
00:21:24He's not going to Israel.
00:21:25Keep on the way!
00:21:26Turn with your power!
00:21:27You can't even better!
00:21:28I don't think I'm going to play, I don't think I'm going to be here!
00:21:30You are going to play!
00:21:31But, you won't be here!
00:21:32You can't even play, I don't want me here!
00:21:33You won't be here!

00:29:29The storm's come.
00:29:31Greatness is my destiny.
00:29:33I'm number one.
00:29:35Jimmy Chon!
00:29:36This is a big time.
00:29:38Presented by Jimmy Chon.
00:29:41By Jimmy Chon's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:29:48And Jimmy Uso looking to win his first singles championship in WWE.
00:29:53In what just so happens to be his little brother's first ever defense of a singles championship.
00:30:00A real family affair here.
00:30:03His opponent being accompanied by MFT.
00:30:18From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the United States Champion, Solo Sankoa.
00:30:29You know, Wade, many believe that Jimmy Uso has the momentum coming into this matchup after what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:30:36Jimmy teaming with LA Knight against Solo Sankoa and JC Mateo of the MFTs and Attackbacks.
00:30:41And with Knife fully in control, things were looking good until the untimely arrival of one Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:30:51Appeared at ringside, a major distraction.
00:30:54And that opened the door for the massive Talat Tonga to completely wipe the megastar out.
00:30:59Amidst the chaos though, Big Jim was ready, rolled up Solo Sankoa, scored the dub while the MFTs gave chase.
00:31:08Interesting stories in this matchup tonight.
00:31:11First for Solo Sankoa, Wade.
00:31:13He was extremely embarrassed last night by losing to Jimmy Uso in this tag team matchup.
00:31:18But when you look at Jimmy Uso, you look at this as a suicide mission as he stares across the ring at the entire group of MFTs.
00:31:29It's really been two weeks in a row now.
00:31:31Jimmy has scored a tag victory over Solo Sankoa on SmackDown.
00:31:37An irate Solo Sankoa now promising some swift vengeance and consequences for his big brother.
00:31:44And you're right, I simply don't see how in this situation with the ring surrounded by the MFTs, Jimmy Uso can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:31:55It is for the United States Championship.
00:31:59Solo Sankoa winning the title from Jacob Fatu back at Night of Champions thanks to the arrival of Talat Tonga, the latest member of Solo Sankoa's, quote, family.
00:32:10What utter devastation Talat Tonga has helped enact on behalf of the MFTs, completely wiping out Jacob Fatu last week.
00:32:19You're not coming back.
00:32:21You're standing.
00:32:23You're standing.
00:32:24And here we go.
00:32:32Jimmy, the older brother of Solo Sankoa, and we're underway for the United States Championship.
00:32:36Interesting note here.
00:32:38Fifteen years in WWE.
00:32:40Only one time has Jimmy Uso had an opportunity to singles title.
00:32:44And that was in a multi-man match.
00:32:45This is his first ever one-on-one matchup for a singles championship in WWE.
00:32:50Yeah, you told me that stat earlier.
00:32:52I simply couldn't believe it.
00:32:54Under-appreciated, under-rated, but uber-talented.
00:32:58Big Jimmy Uso needs to put the naysayers away tonight by scoring what feels like an impossible victory and grabbing gold.
00:33:07And a suicide dive by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:09Down goes Solo.
00:33:11That was an ugly landing for Jimmy Uso in the process and staring up now at three MFTs stalking their prey.
00:33:19It got uglier by the second.
00:33:20Yeah, Jimmy wisely back into the ring.
00:33:22And again, a very irate Solo Sankoa.
00:33:28You mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night after being pinned by Jimmy Uso.
00:33:36United States Championship and prestigious title, the WCW version, of course, held by Goldberg a number of times in his career.
00:33:44It's been over the past couple of weeks for Solo Sankoa.
00:33:47Oh, Jimmy.
00:33:48It has been a re-accumulation of power here with his new army.
00:33:53And he expects everything to go his way.
00:33:56And it simply hasn't been the case because of Big Jim.
00:33:58Oh, and Solo Sankoa catching Jimmy up.
00:34:01Oh!
00:34:02Part of spinning Solo by Sankoa.
00:34:04Covering a quick kick out by Jimmy Uso.
00:34:06Yeah, that's surprising.
00:34:08Most guys stay down perhaps for the three count of that particular move.
00:34:11But Big Jim really fired up tonight.
00:34:14Yeah, and it's early on in the match.
00:34:15And Jimmy hasn't taken that quite a lot of punishment yet.
00:34:20Now Solo blocked by Uso.
00:34:21He delivers the right hand.
00:34:22I'll tell you right now.
00:34:23You always put a little tougher against your own brother.
00:34:27I'll say that as a guy with an older brother myself.
00:34:30Oh, and a right hand by Solo.
00:34:32Drops Jimmy.
00:34:33A beautiful uppercut right to the jaw.
00:34:35Oh, perfect timing.
00:34:36And Atala Tonga behind the official's back.
00:34:48The United States champion Solo Sankoa has taken over this matchup against his brother Jimmy Uso on Saturday night's main event.
00:34:56I'll tell you, I should bring the coal mine back because it has been insane out here at the announce table throughout the first portion of this show.
00:35:03It's been nuts.
00:35:04And Michael Cole's voice has gone a little higher.
00:35:06There's a reason for that.
00:35:07We'll show you in a second as Solo Sankoa is about to do major damage for the spine of Big Jim.
00:35:14Or is it?
00:35:14Yeah, but Big Jim able to counter as these two battle on the apron.
00:35:19And Solo Sankoa with the right hand.
00:35:20Jimmy Uso trying to stay in this fight.
00:35:23United States champion.
00:35:25Oh, no.
00:35:26Spine first to the post.
00:35:28It's more than one way to...
00:35:29And Jimmy with a kick.
00:35:30We simply cannot keep Big Jim down.
00:35:33And that'll allow the number one contender in the United States championship to maybe rally.
00:35:40Looking for a German suplex perhaps on the apron.
00:35:43Not a move usually in the playbook.
00:35:45Oh, no.
00:35:45Under the apron.
00:35:47Solo Sankoa landed on the back of his head.
00:35:52Oh, God.
00:35:52Let's take another look at last.
00:35:55Big Jim not known for his German suplex.
00:35:58Arsenal, but when his little bro, his most heated rival,
00:36:02pulling out all the stops in pursuit of the United States championship.
00:36:06Well, Wade, do you know how difficult it is to get a title opportunity in your career here at WWE?
00:36:11When you have one, you have to capitalize.
00:36:13And Jimmy realizes that.
00:36:14Let's look about difficult.
00:36:1515 years in the making.
00:36:17Finally, you've got one.
00:36:18It might be another 15 before you get another.
00:36:20Make it count, Big Jim.
00:36:21Jimmy with a crossbody.
00:36:23Lateral press.
00:36:24He's going to hook the leg.
00:36:26Solo and two.
00:36:27A near fall for Jimmy Uso.
00:36:29Referee Daphne LaShawn right there.
00:36:31How frustrating is that for Big Jim?
00:36:33Knowing how close he was to scoring his first slice of singles gold a millisecond away from victory.
00:36:41And let's not forget the NFTs.
00:36:44Mateo.
00:36:45Talatanga on the low out here at ringside looking on.
00:36:50Looking on menacingly lurking with intent.
00:36:54Oh, and back in and on up.
00:36:57Talatanga has already been involved in this one once, but now Big Jim going skyward.
00:37:02To the Uso splash to win the championship.
00:37:09Solo at two, another near fall.
00:37:11I'll tell you what.
00:37:12Say whatever you want about Solo Shekawa.
00:37:15This man is a street fighting champion of the islands.
00:37:18And he is quite simply double top.
00:37:21You might not like his methodology.
00:37:23You might not like who he hangs out with.
00:37:25But you have to respect the durability in that ring.
00:37:28And now Jimmy Uso perhaps lining up for the kill here to put his younger brother Solo Sokoa away and take the United States championship goal.
00:37:40Solo looking completely defenseless here.
00:37:42Wobbled rocked and right for the turn.
00:37:44Oh!
00:37:46Caught him with a big kick and drives Jimmy back.
00:37:48And there's the spinning Solo with authority by Sokoa.
00:37:52What a championship level turnaround for Solo Sokoa who's looking to finish the job now.
00:37:58Oh, the Samoan spike.
00:37:59Jimmy ducks underneath.
00:38:01Big kick to the face.
00:38:03And another one.
00:38:06And now Jimmy looking to go up top again.
00:38:09Solo Sokoa completely glassy-eyed.
00:38:11The body isn't cooperating.
00:38:16Jimmy heading up top.
00:38:18Solo rolling out of harm's way.
00:38:22Out of the way by two of his MFTs.
00:38:25And Jimmy, though.
00:38:26Oh!
00:38:28Caught threw up the top!
00:38:30Take it out, everybody!
00:38:32Uso in the wing.
00:38:33Three men down!
00:38:35The body is outside the ring.
00:38:58Vital seconds being lost here for Jimmy Uso.
00:39:01And now Tala Taga went for the big boot.
00:39:03He's going to run into a super kick by Jimmy.
00:39:07And the disqualification does not help Jimmy Uso at all here.
00:39:11And another big punt.
00:39:12Down goes Tala Taga.
00:39:14Solo Sokoa takes advantage.
00:39:16Taga helping him out.
00:39:17Solo steals it.
00:39:18Here's your winner and still the United States champion, Solo Sokoa.
00:39:31And now that monstrous Tala Taga, who cost Jimmy Uso the match, now assaulting Big Jim.
00:39:40Solo Sokoa retains the goal.
00:39:42What a master stroke.
00:39:44What a master plan.
00:39:45But perhaps the best plan at all is having the MFTs in your corner.
00:39:51Yeah, a pack of rabid aidas.
00:39:54Mateo and...
00:39:56Congaloa.
00:39:58I mean, this squad might be invincible at this point.
00:40:02Just when everybody wrote off Solo Sokoa back to the top in a big way.
00:40:12And a Samoa spike to his older brother Jimmy.
00:40:17It wasn't enough to win the match.
00:40:19Solo's been begging Jimmy to rejoin the family.
00:40:22Rejoin the group for the longest time.
00:40:26Oh!
00:40:28It's back!
00:40:29The Samoan werewolf is back!
00:40:34Jacob Fartu!
00:40:36Taken out a couple of weeks ago by the MFTs who powerbombed him through our announce table.
00:40:44And now Fartu to Mateo.
00:40:46And Jacob Fartu, still not over the fact he lost the United States Championship.
00:40:51Thanks to these MFTs, Jacob is out here.
00:40:55All gas and no brakes about the dog walks and falls.
00:41:00And that's what Fartu is doing.
00:41:03And now the massive color conga.
00:41:08Yes!
00:41:09Yes!
00:41:09Yes!
00:41:09Yes!
00:41:09Yes!
00:41:09Yes!
00:41:11Yes!
00:41:13Yes!
00:41:14Yes!
00:41:14Yes!
00:41:15Yes!
00:41:19Yes!
00:41:21Yes!
00:41:21Tonga in the ring face to face.
00:41:24Look at how he powers over Jacob Fartu.
00:41:28My God as Shade under 7 feet tall.
00:41:32Yes!
00:41:33Yes!
00:41:33And Jacob Fartu not backing down.
00:41:35He's gonna unload on Coletonga.
00:41:37Samoan werewolf has no clue.
00:41:40lives are backed out, but sometimes you simply aren't given an option.
00:41:43Jacob
00:42:07Jacob
00:42:07Matu's war
00:42:08with the MFTs
00:42:10has just begun Wade
00:42:12oh my god
00:42:14that was insanity
00:42:15personified
00:42:17Jacob Atu
00:42:18living dangerously
00:42:20swinging for the fences
00:42:22but if we know
00:42:23Solo Sokoa
00:42:24and the MFTs
00:42:25there may well be
00:42:27some consequences
00:42:28going forward
00:42:29for the Samoa well
00:42:30you know tonight
00:42:30the final match
00:42:31in the great career
00:42:32of Goldberg
00:42:33it's been an emotional
00:42:34couple of weeks
00:42:34mentally for Goldberg
00:42:36of course he lost
00:42:37his father-in-law
00:42:37a couple of weeks ago
00:42:38as he looks to
00:42:39focus on the match
00:42:40tonight
00:42:40also the terrible
00:42:42flooding in the state
00:42:42of Texas
00:42:43which occurred
00:42:44just down the road
00:42:45from the town
00:42:45that me and Goldberg
00:42:46live in
00:42:47both of us had
00:42:47friends and family
00:42:49members who were
00:42:50involved in that tragedy
00:42:51Goldberg trying to
00:42:52put that out of his
00:42:53mind tonight
00:42:54he told his son Gage
00:42:55that these moments
00:42:56he tries to react to
00:42:57and tries to channel
00:42:58those emotions
00:42:59into what he can do
00:43:00in the ring
00:43:01it's much like
00:43:02the shock he had
00:43:03when he went from
00:43:03WCW
00:43:04to WWE
00:43:05on the floor
00:43:13to WWE
00:43:13Goldberg on Raw
00:43:17and two
00:43:19superhuman
00:43:20what intensity
00:43:21Goldberg has climbed
00:43:27to the top of the most
00:43:28elite mountain
00:43:30Goldberg turns back the clock.
00:43:36Goldberg's the Universal Champion.
00:43:39It's all about who's dead.
00:43:43He's an icon.
00:43:45A two-time Universal Champion.
00:43:48The endowment of Goldberg.
00:43:56Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight in our main event,
00:43:58it is the final match in the iconic career of Goldberg,
00:44:01but he go out a champion.
00:44:03Goldberg versus Gunther for the world title tonight.
00:44:07And earlier tonight, the situation between Jelly Roll and Logan Paul
00:44:12and Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:44:15Coming up next, an exclusive interview with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:44:19Saturday night's main event.
00:44:22We're on sale now via Ticketmaster.
00:44:25And Saturday night's main event in Atlanta is presented by Jimmy John.
00:44:32Trying Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:44:36Jelly Roll got toasted earlier tonight.
00:44:39Let's show you what happened after Randy Orton knocked off Drew McIntyre.
00:44:42Logan Paul would come in and the titanium loaded.
00:44:44White hand would take out Orton.
00:44:46Dropping the Viper, then coming along to Pete LeBones,
00:44:48always ready to make a name for himself out of someone else's expense.
00:44:52Jelly Roll was not having that, though.
00:44:54Nice block and a sweet right hand to the Maverick,
00:44:57dropping the social media megastar.
00:45:00Yeah, but McIntyre from out of nowhere with a Claymore
00:45:02turning Jelly's brain to Jelly,
00:45:05as Drew McIntyre had a number of things to say to the superstar.
00:45:09What do you think was gonna happen to you?
00:45:11You step into my ring.
00:45:13You've become a target.
00:45:15You're gonna remember this guy.
00:45:17You start with Drew McIntyre.
00:45:19What the hell do you think he got in a run?
00:45:21What the hell do you think he got in a run?
00:45:26Damn it, man.
00:45:27I'm sorry.
00:45:27I should have never hedged you out there.
00:45:29That's on me.
00:45:30I know better.
00:45:31I know better.
00:45:32Jelly, good to see you up right after that gnarly Claymore.
00:45:35But Randy, I was hoping I could get a comment on everything that transpired both last night and tonight.
00:45:41I put my man in harm's way, Kathy.
00:45:43It's as simple as that.
00:45:44I should have never had him out there with Drew and even Logan out there.
00:45:47That was just, it was a bad call on my part.
00:45:49I apologize.
00:45:50No, no, no.
00:45:51I can't let you do that, Randy.
00:45:52I'm a grown man.
00:45:54But man, they have gravely underestimated me.
00:45:57They think I'm soft.
00:45:59I'm not, Randy.
00:46:00I want them.
00:46:01I want them both.
00:46:03Anywhere, anytime.
00:46:05All right, all right.
00:46:06I'm feeling that.
00:46:06I'm feeling that.
00:46:07You know what?
00:46:08I do got a word for you, Kathy.
00:46:10And that word is SummerSlam.
00:46:14What's that sound?
00:46:16You and me.
00:46:17The revenge, I won't.
00:46:18That's what I'm talking about.
00:46:19Let's go.
00:46:20What is it, RK Roll?
00:46:21RK Roll.
00:46:22I ain't like it.
00:46:23I like it.
00:46:25RK Roll and SummerSlam?
00:46:27I don't like it at all.
00:46:28Well, nonetheless, the Hall of Famers are out tonight.
00:46:30The signers, Rick and Scott.
00:46:32Scott had a number of matches over the years.
00:46:34Of course, with Goldberg.
00:46:35Scott won it fall.
00:46:37Goldberg in a steel cage on Nitro.
00:46:39Of course, Rick.
00:46:40Team with Goldberg before.
00:46:41And also a handful of singles matches with the icon, Goldberg, in the main event tonight.
00:46:47Two of the baddest dudes in the history of this industry.
00:46:50That's great.
00:47:50Let's not lose sight of the fact that Paul Heyman is, of course, carrying the money in the bank briefcase.
00:48:03Inside is a contract that Seth Rollins can cash in at any place at any time for a world championship opportunity.
00:48:10Knowing that Gunther and Goldberg go at it in our main event in moments here on Saturday night's main event, could tonight be the night?
00:48:18A briefcase that in the right hand is as good as gold.
00:48:25And I would argue that in the hands of the Oracle Paul Heyman, those are exactly the circumstances by which that gets converted to gold in the blink of an eye.
00:48:36Keep your eyes peeled.
00:48:38And here's a tonic from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240 pounds, L.A. Knight.
00:49:00It's been a tumultuous week for L.A. Knight and Seth Rollins this past Monday night on Raw.
00:49:05Our main event, Seth Rollins and Penta.
00:49:08Rollins with a stomp and the win over Penta.
00:49:11And then it was a hit-and-run attack by L.A. Knight, who would deliver a BFT to Rollins.
00:49:18And then escape before Bronson and Braun could get to him.
00:49:22And then last night on Friday night SmackDown, a different case.
00:49:26This was the Megastar post-victory.
00:49:30Open to abuse and attack from two members of that power trio, Braun Breaker.
00:49:36And Bronson Reed, you question just where the health of the Megastar is right now.
00:49:4124 hours removed from that particular attack.
00:49:45And no tape on the ribs, but you have to believe that midsection of L.A. Knight is smarting here tonight.
00:49:52For L.A. Knight, a massive opportunity against Mr. Money in the Bank.
00:49:56Knight said, quote, I want your dignity.
00:49:58I want justice, to be honest.
00:50:00I just want to hurt you.
00:50:02This all began back the night before Money in the Bank last month.
00:50:08Rollins and company targeted his opponents in that match, including L.A. Knight.
00:50:12And wait, since that moment, L.A. Knight has not forgotten.
00:50:15Well, he's not forgotten.
00:50:16He was also taken out of the King of the Ring tournament thanks to attacks from Seth Rollins and crew.
00:50:22So Seth Rollins and his men have really hamstrung the career of L.A. Knight in recent months.
00:50:28And he's not going to let that lie.
00:50:30Two-time United States champion L.A. Knight.
00:50:32He's battling the five-time world champion Seth Rollins.
00:50:36Oh.
00:50:37It was a good shot to the gut there.
00:50:38Registered a little too hard.
00:50:40Oh, and a high elbow.
00:50:42Perhaps a little sign of that attack from last night coming to the floor early here.
00:50:46And now L.A. Knight.
00:50:47Again, those ribs just collapsing, going for that falcon arrow or suplex.
00:50:52And wait a second.
00:50:53Looking for a pedigree and L.A. Knight for the BFT blocked by Seth Rollins.
00:50:58And Rollins now launched outside the ring to the floor.
00:51:00Can't argue beating Seth freaking Rollins when you're not at 100%.
00:51:05Oh.
00:51:06May not actually be possible, but blocking out that pain right now apparently is the megastar.
00:51:12Tapping into that Kvorka that is running wild in this arena.
00:51:16Rollins bounced off our announce table, which has become a playground for our superstars here tonight.
00:51:27And I don't think he's done yet.
00:51:29Rollins bounced right into our announce table.
00:51:32Yeah, not quite enough damage was done to the announce table apparently.
00:51:35Let's finish the job, why don't we?
00:51:37And now L.A. Knight clothesline and hit Rollins hard.
00:51:40You can hear that thump.
00:51:42L.A. Knight in control.
00:51:43The body scissors applied by Seth Rollins here live in Atlanta.
00:51:51Nearly 12,000 on hand for this match between Rollins and L.A. Knight.
00:51:56Seth taking control.
00:51:57Yeah, and I don't understand the megastar's behavior of L.A.
00:52:00I've sung his praises from the very beginning, but all the Kvorka in the world cannot explain why L.A. Knight is dicing with death.
00:52:08He's taken on Solo Sokoa's MFTs on SmackDown and Seth Rollins' power trio on Raw simultaneously.
00:52:15I mean, I can have credit.
00:52:16It might not be a wise thing to do, but you've got to praise him for having the bravery to do it.
00:52:22Bravery is one thing.
00:52:23How much a glutton for punishment can one man be?
00:52:27Everyone has their limits, even megastars, and we may well have found that limit tonight.
00:52:32Rollins.
00:52:32Oh, and a knee rate to the midsection.
00:52:35Great strategy by the architect Seth Rollins.
00:52:38And the visionary now, headed up to the top rope, looking to put L.A. Knight away.
00:52:42Oh, a splash to the injured midsection and ribs.
00:52:44Rollins for the win.
00:52:45Hook of the leg and a kick out.
00:52:47And what was it L.A. Knight said?
00:52:49It was a quote from you.
00:52:50I want to hurt you tonight, Seth Rollins.
00:52:52Well, that has done a complete 180.
00:52:54It is the megastar who is in severe danger here tonight, thanks to this abuse from Seth freaking Rollins.
00:53:01W.W.E. fans here chanting L.A. Knight as Rollins looks to quiet the masses.
00:53:17Jams can help.
00:53:19Jams can pull you through, but...
00:53:21But at the end of the day, they're still singing my song.
00:53:24Anybody ever chanting my opponents, that's why I kept losing.
00:53:28My song.
00:53:29Oh, and L.A. Knight blocked it right.
00:53:33Now Knight trying to fight back, perhaps on adrenaline alone.
00:53:36Blocked it right, and he's now blocking out the clear paint in that midsection.
00:53:40But somehow it's working, tapping into that frenzy in this arena.
00:53:44Oh, once again, one shot and down is the megastar.
00:53:48And L.A. Knight with a close line.
00:53:51And now Knight looking to rally.
00:53:54Oh, and a neckbreaker.
00:53:56Oh, what a flurry here from L.A. Knight just went...
00:53:59DDT!
00:54:00He was looking written off.
00:54:03As good as new.
00:54:11And Carl, whose game is this?
00:54:14L.A. Knight!
00:54:15Yeah!
00:54:17Elbow delivered.
00:54:19Knight cover.
00:54:20And Rollins kicks it too.
00:54:24And this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the game.
00:54:29Blocking out that pain and turning this one on a sixpence.
00:54:33Taking full control of the match.
00:54:35Almost putting away the visionary Seth freaking Rollins.
00:54:41What else does L.A. Knight have in store here?
00:54:44And if you're at Rollins, a lot of pressure, Wade.
00:54:46You can ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're trying to build with this new group.
00:54:50You can Freaker and Reed and Hayden and Rollins.
00:54:53Get the money in the bank.
00:54:54Breathe, guys.
00:54:54You've got the Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:54:56The uncheckable power of Reed.
00:54:58Oh!
00:54:59And Freaker.
00:55:00You don't want to be the figurehead of that crew.
00:55:02And pulling out losses when the deck was initially stacked in your favor.
00:55:07L.A. Knight fighting through the pain.
00:55:08The injured midsection.
00:55:09Looking for the BFT.
00:55:10Seth Rollins gonna...
00:55:12...make his way out to the apron.
00:55:14Hurting disaster there.
00:55:16Best footwork in the game.
00:55:17Seth freaking Rollins for the past 10 plus years.
00:55:21Can move faster than anyone when he needs to.
00:55:24And boy, did he need to.
00:55:26Averting danger from that BFT.
00:55:29And turning this one in his own favor.
00:55:32And Rollins went to the top rope.
00:55:33L.A. Knight made him pay.
00:55:34Looking concerned on the face of Paul Heyman.
00:55:36As Heyman looks on down on the apron.
00:55:40And a big shot by L.A. Knight.
00:55:41But remember, Heyman is hooked to everything in his career.
00:55:49To Seth Rollins.
00:55:51Constantly hooked himself to success.
00:55:53That has been the modus operandum of Paul Heyman from the very beginning.
00:55:59Yeah, ever since WrestleMania when he turned his back on Roman Reigns.
00:56:03And now L.A. Knight to the top rope.
00:56:05Knight now.
00:56:07Tremendous athleticism.
00:56:08And does he have enough left in the core with the injured midsection?
00:56:11No.
00:56:12Rollins able to slip underneath.
00:56:15And Rollins with a buckle bomb.
00:56:19Always got a solution.
00:56:21That is the Seth freaking Rollins way.
00:56:23Went for the stomp L.A. Knight.
00:56:25With Rollins up.
00:56:27And his midsection gave out again.
00:56:29And Rollins with a kick to the face.
00:56:31Unique suplex attempt there from L.A. Knight.
00:56:34Simply didn't have the power left in that frame.
00:56:37And that heavily fatigued body that has absorbed so much abuse of late.
00:56:42And it's about to get even worse.
00:56:44And now Rollins.
00:56:45Oh, and there's that flying senton.
00:56:46Springboard senton by Rollins.
00:56:49And now a moonsault lands at his feet.
00:56:50May have tweaked his knee.
00:56:52We saw Seth favor the knee this past Monday.
00:56:54May have tweaked it again.
00:56:56And now L.A. Knight with an opportunity.
00:56:58Rollins into the corner.
00:56:58The official there to check on Rollins.
00:57:00Oh, no.
00:57:01This could be a serious situation here.
00:57:06Rollins tweaking his knee.
00:57:07Heyman over to check on his man.
00:57:09That is a knee that has been surgically repaired in the past.
00:57:13Generally heavily strapped off.
00:57:15And that is a look of panic in the eye of Seth freaking Rollins.
00:57:18And that is not what you want to see.
00:57:20A little panic on the face of Paul Heyman as well.
00:57:24As a superstar, you know full well when you've done yourself a major mischief.
00:57:28I can speak to that.
00:57:28And look at this way.
00:57:29The doctor.
00:57:31The ringside doctor now is over consulting with the official on the situation with Rollins and Seth's knee.
00:57:41That has just sucked the wind out of this arena.
00:57:44Well, we talked about the fact he tweaked that knee earlier this week.
00:57:50Rollins' a hobbling back up into the corner.
00:58:02L.A. Knight.
00:58:02B.F.T.
00:58:03B.F.T.
00:58:04By L.A. Knight.
00:58:05Cover now.
00:58:06Hook of the leg.
00:58:07And Knight with the win.
00:58:11Here is your winner.
00:58:13L.A. Knight.
00:58:16Well, it's a win.
00:58:17But it is not the kind of victory that L.A. Knight came for tonight.
00:58:21And that is a bleak sight seeing Seth freaking Rollins down and out.
00:58:27And that is a truly catastrophic moment here at Saturday Night's main event.
00:58:33Well, undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez faces undefeated three-division king Terrence Bud Crawford
00:58:44in a historic class that transcends titles at Saturday, September 13th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
00:58:50This is a once-in-a-lifetime event that marks the beginning of a bold new era in boxing.
00:58:54Register now for access to pre-sale tickets before they go on sale to the general public at WWE.com slash boxing.
00:59:03Well, let's take another look at what happened to Seth Rollins, a very serious situation moments ago.
00:59:09Rollins tweaking the knee once again, but it appears to be much more serious than we first thought.
00:59:14As you take a look at Rollins now, coming off the second rope, looking for a move.
00:59:19So it landed on his feet and his knee buckled.
00:59:21You saw him go right to the knee.
00:59:22He collapsed to the corner.
00:59:23He told the doctor he could continue and L.A. Knight would deliver the VFT.
00:59:29So best wishes to Seth Rollins as he's helped to the back now.
00:59:34Yeah, we say it time and time again.
00:59:35It is a dangerous world inside those ropes, Seth.
00:59:38We are hoping for the best for you.
00:59:40Good luck.
00:59:41And coming up next, it's our main event.
00:59:43An interview with CBS Sports this week.
00:59:45Goldberg acknowledged the enormity of this moment.
00:59:47He said, not many people have the opportunity to go out on their own terms.
00:59:52That is a quote.
00:59:54So this is truly a privilege for me tonight.
00:59:57Up next, Goldberg.
00:59:59Gunther for the world title.
01:00:06Gunther.
01:00:08A few months ago, you started something with me and my family in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:00:14I really hope for you that Bill is a better father than he is a professional wrestler.
01:00:25I am going to make sure that I end it in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:00:31The end it in Atlanta, Georgia.
01:00:44I am next.
01:00:46Usually being next means getting speared, jackhammer, one, two, three.
01:00:52But it is not 1999 anymore
01:00:56And right now
01:00:59I'm the guy
01:01:00Bill Goldberg is not capable
01:01:03Of taking the World Heavyweight Championship
01:01:05Away from me
01:01:06At Saturday Night's main event
01:01:08I'm going to bully you
01:01:10And the myth of Bill Goldberg
01:01:14Forever
01:01:14Dies
01:01:22I don't care if I've got one foot in the grave
01:01:32Nobody's ever going to talk to me like that
01:01:34Gunther
01:01:38You're next
01:01:40The legendary WWE Hall of Famer

01:04:46Today
01:04:46Can we order
01:04:48Jimmy John's
01:04:49I don't know
01:04:49I know you've worked up
01:04:50An appetite
01:04:51Tonight with all of those
01:04:52Rays
01:04:52But what a night
01:04:53It has been thus far
01:04:54And it's about to get
01:04:55Even better
01:04:56Well ladies and gentlemen
01:05:16Wade Barrett and I
01:05:17Had a very interesting
01:05:18Conversation with this man
01:05:20The world champion
01:05:20Gunther earlier today
01:05:21I thought he'd be more
01:05:23Humble
01:05:24When I asked him the question
01:05:25About how he felt
01:05:27Having Goldberg's
01:05:28Last match of his career
01:05:29Yeah well you apparently
01:05:31Frequently get the temperature
01:05:32Wrong Michael Cole
01:05:33Because sentimentality
01:05:35Is a treat
01:05:36For weak men
01:05:37Gunther told us
01:05:38I am here
01:05:39To humiliate this man
01:05:41Who has no place
01:05:43In my industry
01:05:44I am here
01:05:45To extinguish
01:05:46This stain
01:05:48That is Goldberg
01:05:49For good
01:05:50Wade you have to wonder
01:05:51Is Gunther perhaps
01:05:52Looking past
01:05:53The 58 year old
01:05:55Goldberg tonight
01:05:56To the threat
01:05:56That looms on the horizon
01:05:58Of possibly CM Punk
01:05:59Or maybe Seth Rollins
01:06:00Depending on what happened
01:06:01With the injury tonight
01:06:02But is Gunther
01:06:03Looking past
01:06:04Goldberg tonight
01:06:05There is a golden rule
01:06:06In the fight game
01:06:08The last thing
01:06:09A heavyweight
01:06:10Ever loses
01:06:11Is his punch
01:06:12We saw that
01:06:13This past Monday
01:06:14On Raw
01:06:14When Goldberg
01:06:16Dropped the ring
01:06:17General
01:06:18With a sweet
01:06:19Right hook
01:06:20To the jaw
01:06:20Bill it's time

01:07:09Bill it's time
01:07:10Bill it's time
01:07:11Bill it's time

01:07:13Ah!
01:07:43Ah!
01:08:02Ah!
01:08:11Ah!
01:08:13Ah!
01:08:13Let's go.
01:08:43Let's go.
01:09:13Let's go.
01:09:21Introducing first, the challenger from Atlanta, Georgia.
01:09:27Weighing in at 270 pounds, WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg!
01:09:40And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the world heavyweight champion, the ring general, Goldberg!
01:10:06From a humble beginning in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
01:10:13To a massive star on the Georgia Bulldogs football team.
01:10:18To a professional football career.
01:10:20To the summer of 1997 and the start of a professional wrestling career and a 173-match undefeated streak.
01:10:28Which included the biggest win of his career nearly 27 years ago to the day.
01:10:35When Goldberg in Atlanta, Georgia, defeated Hulk Hogan for the WCW Championship.
01:10:41To multi-world titles in WWE.
01:10:43This is it.
01:10:44The final time.
01:10:45We witness the awesome intensity, the power, the greatness that is Goldberg!
01:10:52What a clash of generations of styles and legacies.
01:10:59An important note as well.
01:11:00The official in this match is the veteran Charles Robinson.
01:11:19The man who has refereed hundreds of matches in the career of Goldberg.
01:11:23Including the historic night on July 6th, 1998, when Goldberg defeated Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan, to win the championship here in Atlanta.
01:11:35Charles Robinson on hand for the final match of Goldberg's career.
01:11:40So wait, early going, what does Goldberg have to do against Gunther?
01:11:43Well, I think Jesse the body, Ventura, hit the nail on the head earlier tonight.
01:11:47I think Goldberg has to end this quickly.
01:11:50The longer it goes, the more this will favor the big Austrian champ.
01:11:55You don't get great gas mileage when you get up there in years.
01:11:59That is an athletic rule.
01:12:01And the longer this goes for Goldberg, those opportunities of victory diminish.
01:12:08All right!
01:12:09Schopp having a little effect on Goldberg.
01:12:12A great shot in that trademark smile and laugh.
01:12:15Gunther said he would not be intimidated by the intensity of Goldberg.
01:12:20But it's a different story when you're face-to-face with a Hall of Famer.
01:12:24The two men who are simply built for one.
01:12:27Gunther now realizing perhaps the size of the task that lies ahead of him.
01:12:34And what about the task that lies ahead of Goldberg?
01:12:35This is his first match in over three years.
01:12:38This is his last match, 2022.
01:12:39The elimination chamber here at WWE.
01:12:43And Goldberg taking the fight to Gunther.
01:12:45It's your hometown.
01:12:46Your family's here.
01:12:48Retirement hanging over you.
01:12:49The end of a career.
01:12:51You have to be a cold, ruthless fighting machine in that ring.
01:12:55But there's so much emotion bubbling inside of Goldberg.
01:12:59He has to keep that locked down.
01:13:02The big heavyweight boxer coming out of retirement.
01:13:05Does he have that one big blow left?
01:13:07Does Goldberg have one spear left?
01:13:09Does he have one jackhammer left?
01:13:11Now, you mentioned a little earlier that Goldberg had said in an interview he has physical ailments.
01:13:16One of which was that knee.
01:13:17And look at it.
01:13:18He's got a brace on the left knee.
01:13:20Well, I thought that was absolute insanity.
01:13:22You've got a prep fiend like Gunther who absorbs this kind of information immediately targeting that knee of Goldberg.
01:13:28And now the power of Goldberg sending Gunther to the center of the ring.
01:13:32And the champ's in trouble.
01:13:33Yeah, I'm impressed with Goldberg in the early going.
01:13:35That raw power coming to the fore.
01:13:37And he's stalking Gunther.
01:13:39Goldberg looking for a spear.
01:13:41And Gunther moving out of harm's way.
01:13:44And Gunther, you see the expression on Goldberg's face.
01:13:47Realize that that may have been his opportunity.
01:13:49That may have been his moment.
01:13:50Well, that's frustration on Goldberg.
01:13:53You let that chance slip away.
01:13:54You may not get another one against the competitor as good, as well-rounded as the world heavyweight champ, Gunther.
01:14:01Well, I've been impressed so far with the way that Goldberg has taken the fight.
01:14:05But again, Gunther's a bad knee.
01:14:07Now a chop to Goldberg.
01:14:08And Goldberg trying to fight it off.
01:14:09Another chop by the champ.
01:14:11And I'll tell you, I've never seen anybody shrug off those chops quite like Goldberg has thus far.
01:14:16They're registering.
01:14:17They're stinging.
01:14:18But they're not dropping the big man.
01:14:19And Gunther's sent toward the corner.
01:14:21Goldberg's looking for a spear.
01:14:22And Goldberg through the barricade into the timekeeper's area.
01:14:26Gunther able to move out of harm's way.
01:14:28Goldberg exploding the barricade with a spear.
01:14:31And Goldberg's in trouble.
01:14:33Could be a golden opportunity for the world champ.
01:14:35Gunther has turned his attention to the injured knee.
01:14:47Gunther has been attacking that knee throughout the break.
01:14:48Yes, he has.
01:14:49Gunther is precision and discipline.
01:14:52Goldberg is destruction in Karmic.
01:14:56And we saw that destruction against our barricade a few minutes ago.
01:15:00And it may well have destroyed Goldberg's chances in this match.
01:15:04He hasn't looked the same thing.
01:15:05Yeah, Goldberg trying to dig down deep.
01:15:07Final time in his career in the ring.
01:15:09This time for the world title.
01:15:11And his adopted hometown of Atlanta.
01:15:13And Goldberg fighting back now.
01:15:18Goldberg's got a little bit left.
01:15:20Tapping into the energy of this hometown audience.
01:15:24One last dance for the champ.
01:15:26Yeah, right.
01:15:27The dance may be over here.
01:15:28Right back to the knee.
01:15:30As Goldberg collapses in the ring.
01:15:33Well, Gunther just did his homework.
01:15:35Did his prep work.
01:15:36And has executed almost from the word go tonight.
01:15:40That feeling out process early was all Goldberg.
01:15:43But it's changed in a big way now.
01:15:45Yeah, this match so far has been the blueprint of Gunther throughout his career.
01:15:49Intimidate.
01:15:50Come on, Goldberg.
01:15:51Physically overpower.
01:15:53Come on, Goldberg.
01:15:55What you gonna do?
01:15:56Trash talk.
01:15:57To embarrass Goldberg here.
01:15:59But that may be a major error from the ring general.
01:16:02Yes.
01:16:02Flurry from Goldberg.
01:16:04Not enough to drop the world heavyweight champion.
01:16:06It's hard to intimidate the master of intimidation.
01:16:08And the power.
01:16:09Spinebuster by Goldberg.
01:16:11On one god leg.
01:16:13There is still fight.
01:16:15And the former champ.
01:16:16And the legend.
01:16:17He's hurting.
01:16:20He's stumbling.
01:16:21But this warrior is gonna go out on his shield tonight.
01:16:25Win, lose, or draw.
01:16:27Ganga.
01:16:28Need buckle in as he used it to deliver a blow to Gunther.
01:16:30Now the body shot's in the corner.
01:16:36Gunther with a chop.
01:16:37And another one.
01:16:39The world champ exploding out of the corner.
01:16:40And Goldberg is just so hampered when he gets on the offense.
01:16:44He sometimes is not able to follow up a flurry.
01:16:48Allowing the ring general to recover.
01:16:51But that may have turned the tide.
01:16:53Yeah, that's why Goldberg's got to keep Gunther close.
01:16:55The separation does not help him.
01:16:58Goldberg notorious for those heavy hands.
01:17:00Those heavy boots.
01:17:02And throwing it all the way of the ring general.
01:17:04Yeah, but Goldberg heavily favoring the injured knee.
01:17:08And again, Gunther now.
01:17:11And Goldberg able to backbottie drop the champ.
01:17:14Russ says he was locked in for that power bomb that Gunther is known for.
01:17:18And wait on the stance.
01:17:20Goldberg now.
01:17:20Oh no!
01:17:22Spearing the official Charles Robinson.
01:17:26Inadvertently as Gunther moved out of harm's way.
01:17:29Oh God, Charles Robinson once again taking the brunt of a major attack there.
01:17:35You're right, completely inadvertent.
01:17:37Such was the nimble feet of the ring general.
01:17:41And now Gunther from behind right back to the knee of Goldberg.
01:17:45The official's down.
01:17:47And Gunther can do whatever he wants now.
01:17:49And we're going to need another referee.
01:17:51Charles Robinson will not be getting up from that spear.
01:17:54And Goldberg in trouble as Gunther looks to rip the protective knee brace from the knee of the icon.
01:18:01Just tearing away at will now.
01:18:04Is the ring general looking to humiliate Goldberg?
01:18:08Well, not just humiliate him, but destroy him.
01:18:10Damage him.
01:18:12Gunther has previously been about the sport.
01:18:15Proving he's the greatest on the planet.
01:18:17But this is something very different.
01:18:20Refusing to be embarrassed by the return of a former great in Goldberg.
01:18:27This is a statement from the world heavyweight champ.
01:18:31Goldberg, one of the toughest men in the history of professional wrestling.
01:18:35But he has a vulnerability.
01:18:37And that, of course, the injured knee.
01:18:40And now the knee is exposed as Gunther begins to use the protective brace as a weapon.
01:18:45There's no official out here to stop any of this.
01:18:48Goldberg clearly out of his prime physically.
01:18:51But the mind, the body, the heart wants to fight on.
01:18:54You have to respect that.
01:18:56Right to the back of the head of Goldberg.
01:18:59Hope really beginning to slip away now.
01:19:02Of a dream ending for a legendary career.
01:19:18Over toward us.
01:19:20That is Bill's son, Gage.
01:19:22His wife, Wanda, is out there as well.
01:19:24Gage is not going to take that.
01:19:32He's over the barricade.
01:19:34Remember, he was at the home of this when it all began in Atlanta last year.
01:19:38When Gunther humiliated Goldberg and his family here in his hometown.
01:19:42Well, I think it's lucky for Gage and our security were on the ball for once.
01:19:46That could have ended incredibly badly for Goldberg's kick.
01:19:49And now Goldberg, spear!
01:19:52Goldberg hit the spear!
01:19:53Goldberg hit the spear on Gunther!
01:19:57Does he have something left?
01:19:59Does Goldberg have one jackhammer left?
01:20:15He does!
01:20:16My job!
01:20:17Jackhammer!
01:20:18He can't live!
01:20:19And there's a new official!
01:20:21Sean Bennett rushed into the ring, but he got the bad knee!
01:20:24Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away!
01:20:27Dragging himself!
01:20:28Falls into the cover!
01:20:29Shoulders down!
01:20:31Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:32Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:34Off the jackhammer by Goldberg!
01:20:38Oh my God!
01:20:42Gunther completely taking his eye off the ball, thinking this was a parade, getting distracted
01:20:48by Goldberg's kid at ringside!
01:20:49Goldberg's kid at ringside!
01:20:51Goldberg pouncing!
01:20:53Nailed a big one-two whammy with that jackhammer, but the landing on that knee!
01:20:58Prevents in the pinning time!
01:20:59And that's Gunther with a sleeper!
01:21:01The sleeper locked in on Goldberg!
01:21:03The sleeper's in!
01:21:04Goldberg won't tap!
01:21:05Gunther's gonna have to pass Goldberg out here!
01:21:08Goldberg trying to fight back!
01:21:11Grabbing anything he can, but that is 16 deep, and Goldberg now fading!
01:21:17Goldberg is fading!
01:21:18Goldberg with one last gas to break the sleeper!
01:21:22Goldberg fighting back!
01:21:24Long to his belly!
01:21:26Gunther's still with the sleeper locked in!
01:21:28Gunther's got it in good!
01:21:29Goldberg doesn't have anything left!
01:21:32All that oxygen cut off!
01:21:33The blow cut off and fading!
01:21:35It's Goldberg!
01:21:36And Goldberg is out!
01:21:38Gunther retains!
01:21:39Here is your winner, and still the world heavyweight champion, the ring general, Goldberg!
01:21:54And with that, it's over.
01:21:56A 28-year career, one of the most dominant in the history of professional wrestling.
01:22:01An icon who's drilled millions and carried an industry on his back.
01:22:05For Goldberg, it's not who's next anymore.
01:22:09But what's next for Goldberg outside the Rink?
01:22:23A 28-year career!
01:22:25Here we go!
01:22:26Here we go!
01:22:28Bill, tonight, it's all about you.
01:22:32Go right ahead.
01:22:33First off, I don't think I've ever lost here in Atlanta,
01:22:37so I do apologize for going out a little subpar.
01:22:45I've got over 100 friends and family that came in from all over the world,
01:22:50and I just got to say I cannot thank you all enough.
01:22:57The fans in Atlanta have been absolutely wonderful.
01:23:01I love you.
01:23:03I couldn't have done it without you.
