00:00You know, it took a hell of a lot of guts for Cody Rhodes to make this a bloodline rules match where anything goes because Corey completely loses his advantage as champion in the world.
00:29In the wake of WrestleMania, the bloodline has evolved into perhaps its most dangerous formula yet.
00:37And it's now led by the new tribal chief, Solo Sokoa,
00:43who never walks alone no matter what the occasion, tonight included.
00:49Cody Rhodes knows what bloodline rules entail.
00:52Cody's gotta have a plan because I promise you Solo definitely does.
00:57Are you surprised that Solo is coming out for at least the start of this matchup without the bloodline in tow?
01:03Yes, honestly, I am because I believe part of the aura of Solo is seeing the entire bloodline, the force of power, the show of force, seeing it in completion.
01:13But obviously, Solo has a very, very well-laid strategy for this evening.
01:18I fully expect to see the other members of the bloodline in the not-too-distant future.
01:24Bingo.
01:25If I'm the American Nightmare, I don't love that the other members of the bloodline aren't out here.
01:30Because at least if they're out here, you know where they are.
01:32Now, he's gonna have to keep his head on a swivel all night.
01:34He knows it's bloodline rules.
01:36He knows where the hell they can be coming from.
01:38And Jacob Fatu, I'd like to know where the hell he is at all times.
01:42I'm gonna give you a word of warning, Pat.
01:44When you see him in person, he's one of the most terrifying men you've ever seen.
01:48I've only seen him through the television.
01:49And he's now one half of the Tag Team Champions.
01:51Absolutely.
01:52Which goes to the entire point of what Solo's saying.
01:55We need all the gold back with the bloodline, which is what he's trying to do here.
01:59All right, listen, Solo began the success last night on Friday Night SmackDown when
02:04Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu captured the WWE Tag Team title.
02:09Solo has the opportunity, unheavily intended, to finish the story for himself tonight.
02:16And let's not forget, this man Solo Sokoa pinned Cody Rose in a six-man tag team matchup
02:21back at Money in the Bank.
02:22And listen to the names that Solo Sokoa has knocked off in WWE in one-on-one matchups.
02:29Rey Mysterio, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, Sheamus, and John Cena.
02:40Let's talk about who the bloodline has taken out even more recently.
02:44Kevin Owens and the Viper, Randy Orton.
02:48Cody Rhodes has no backup tonight.
02:53Solo's a bit reckless, too.
02:55Anybody can get it.
02:57Solo's first Summer Slam.
03:02Don't have respect for many folks.
03:04Listen, we've watched the evolution of Solo Sokoa from the enforcer of the bloodline,
03:10as we then knew it, to the now Tribal Chief.

09:42To get all away
09:44I give it all away
09:45I give it all away
09:46Can't take my freedom
09:47I give it all away
09:48It is main event time at SummerSlam
09:50at Summerslam, and we will see a lonely king defending his throne
09:55against the tribe who wants it back.
09:59But fellas, the problem is this tribe is willing to take Cody's entire head
10:04to get the crown back.
10:06Cody's asked the question, is he ready?
10:11We'll find out if Solo Sokoa is indeed ready tonight.
10:20The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
10:27And it is for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
10:35Introducing the challenger,
10:41representing the bloodline from Las Vegas, Nevada.
10:48Weighing in at 250 pounds, Solo Sokoa.
10:55And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 222 pounds.
11:11He is the undisputed WWE Champion, the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
11:30Counting Gunther's victory moments ago, there have been 17 world title changes at Summerslam.
11:39Will tonight be Solo Sokoa's night?
11:42Referee Dan Engler will have the honor to work this undisputed WWE Championship match tonight.
12:04Remember, it's bloodline rules.
12:06So really the only reason Mr. Engler is in there is the count of 1, 2, 3, or a tap out on a submission
12:12between Rhodes and Solo Sokoa here tonight.
12:15The wild time for the bloodline.
12:28Collar and elbow tie up to start things off.
12:30Cody, or Corey, for the champion Cody Rhodes, what does he gotta do to keep the title?
12:33Cody has seen this movie before.
12:35Cody has been in this position before.
12:37Cody needs to rely on his experience.
12:39Although Solo Sokoa grew up in this industry, Cody has lived at the higher level for much longer.
12:45Can Solo Sokoa knock off Rhodes tonight?
12:47Yes.
12:48And he has to take advantage of the bloodline rules, right?
12:50No.
12:51I'm not convinced that Solo doesn't have it in him.
12:53No.
12:54It certainly helps, though.
12:55Listen, sure, it certainly puts the odds in Solo's favor.
12:58But physically speaking, the evolution we have seen from the street champ,
13:02to the enforcer, to the new tribal chief.
13:05Doesn't matter if you and I believe, gentlemen, Solo believes he is the head of the table,
13:10and he's gonna feed his people.
13:12It's the biggest night of Solo's life, for sure.
13:15And you can see the confidence oozing out of Sokoa in the early going of this match.
13:21We've witnessed the evolution of Solo on Friday Night SmackDown since WrestleMania.
13:26This is not the same superstar who was even at WrestleMania.
13:29This is the most dangerous form of Solo Sokoa that has ever existed.
13:33And again, Cody taking his time, measuring his man, ducks underneath.
13:39And Rhodes looking to use his quickness in this match tonight.
13:43Solo plays by a completely different set of rules than everybody else.
13:46And the bloodline's been acting accordingly.
13:48And forgive me, gentlemen, if you could help jog my memory.
13:51Who is that legend, perhaps the greatest of all time, who Solo Sokoa beat?
13:56And again, he just didn't beat John Cena before he destroyed John Cena.
14:03To the point where we never see him again.
14:05Wait a minute.
14:06Solo's done his homework.
14:08Yes, blocking what would have been that big right hand from Cody,
14:12that drop down right hand.
14:13And that's gonna send a message to the champion.
14:17Cody Rhodes in that instance realized, okay, plan A is not gonna work tonight.
14:22What else do I have in the back?
14:24One thing Solo Sokoa cannot do is what he's doing now.
14:27He cannot allow the WWE fans to get under his skin.
14:29I could not agree with you anymore.
14:31Solo, if he keeps his focus on the task at hand, that being a gigantic,
14:36borderline impossible task, dethroning Cody.
14:39Uh-oh, and Cody Rhodes wisely rolled out of harm's way.
14:43This goes back to the experience we talked about.
14:46Cody rolling out for a moment to compose himself, and look in the eyes of Solo.
14:50Solo has not broken his stare.
14:54Solo Sokoa just so confident, believes it's his moment, his time.
14:59And you see that here again, this is where the inexperienced plays out.
15:02Yelling at Cleveland right now.
15:04Solo does not need to worry about the 50-something thousand people surrounding us.
15:08Solo needs to worry about the American nightmare, the undisputed WWE World Champion standing in front of him.
15:1557,719 of them.
15:18791 actually.
15:20One and a nine are in there.
15:22Big headbutt by Sokoa.
15:25And a chop.
15:28And Cody gonna fight back as well.
15:32Is this the pace you expected early on?
15:35Sokoa.
15:38Thus far, I think I'm a little surprised that Cody hasn't tried to push the pace.
15:42We know Cody's not afraid to step things up a little bit.
15:45But then again, you're not dealing with an ordinary athlete.
15:47Solo Sokoa has the size, the speed, and the power.
15:50And Cody though, not dumped out of the ring now.
15:53Solo Sokoa will go over the top of the apron.
15:55Again, Wyatt keeps stating how important Cody's-
15:58It's a kick.
15:59Experiences.
16:00That disaster kick sent Solo to the outside, and here comes the nightmare.
16:05And a suicide dive by Cody Rhodes, taking out Sokoa.
16:09Full sand on Solo from our champion.
16:14Cody back into the ring, fired up.
16:18Man, right into a right, and you can hear that.
16:24Solo again, one step ahead of our champion.
16:30Stop Cody dead in his tracks.
16:32And let's be honest, fellas, Solo has a distinct power advantage over Cody Rhodes.
16:37Solo has the ability to impose his will on an opponent that Cody just has never known.
16:43Solo has some real thump in everything that he does.
16:48Which is why he's been able to act the way that he's been acting.
16:51Exactly.
16:52On Friday Night SmackDown.
16:55He's taking over the bloodline.
16:56Choosing to align himself with people who were sworn off from this company,
17:00if not the business as a whole.
17:02Some of the most dangerous individuals.
17:04Cody up over the top.
17:06Solo Sokoa hanging on it again.
17:09He did his homework.
17:11Spin kick, cover for the championship.
17:14Kick out by Cody.
17:15You're absolutely right, he did.
17:16It is becoming more and more evident as this match progresses.
17:20Solo Sokoa knows.
17:21Solo hears the whispers.
17:22Solo hears the chants.
17:24Solo is out here to make the WWE Universe eat an overabundance of crow
17:28at the expense of Cody Rhodes.
17:30That makes Solo drop.
17:37That's the Sokoa.
17:38There's the crow meal that you were referring to, Corey, as he continues to be
17:42dominant over the American Nightmare.
17:44But once again, he goes to the crowd.
17:46It's almost like this tribal chief wants acknowledgement from the people more
17:51than he wants to win.
17:52Well, I guarantee you this much.
17:53If Solo beats Cody tonight, the WWE Universe will have no choice but to acknowledge.
17:58Hey man, keep the main thing, the main thing, Solo.
18:00And again, another Sokoa drop to the champion.
18:07My God.
18:08Worse than the first.
18:09And Solo into the cover.
18:10Once again, looking to win the title.
18:11One, two.
18:12Cody kicks out.
18:13Solo not getting frustrated just yet.
18:18I actually appreciate this pace now that Solo is utilizing.
18:21It is methodical.
18:22Unfortunately, he's gotta be careful because when Solo takes a little too much time,
18:26which isn't much time at all, Cody will make you pay.
18:29And Solo looking at the taped thumb, looking for a Samoan spike for the champion.
18:34And if he hits here, it could be over.
18:37Cody, though, with a kick right to the thumb.
18:39And now a kick to the face.
18:40And Cody off the second rope.
18:42Cody Potter.
18:44And I think taking too long is what costs Solo, Pat.
18:48We've talked about it since the opening moment.
18:50Solo is busy enjoying himself.
18:52And Cody now sends Solo out to the announce table.
18:57And now, Cody.
18:58Again, bloodline rules so there are no count outs.
19:01No disqualifications.
19:03And now, Solo now bounced right into the prime hydration station.
19:09Cody.
19:11Cody, get a little hydration at the station, a prime.
19:14And hit right off the face of Sokoa.
19:19A prime fountain off of Solo's dome.
19:21And now, Solo back into the ring.
19:25Cody gonna head up to the top rope.
19:27Cody up and over Sokoa.
19:31There's the drop down right.
19:34And Cody now left jabs to Sokoa.
19:39Bionic elbow.
19:44Cody again, off the second rope.
19:48This time Solo was ready.
19:49Picked out of mid air.
19:52Now, set out power bomb for the championship on Rhodes kick out.
19:57Guys, again, this is where experience factors in.
20:00Take another look at this.
20:02Picked out of mid air.
20:03Outrageous power from Solo.
20:05Drives Cody straight into the canvas.
20:08But Solo didn't put his feet over Cody's shoulders.
20:11That could have made all the difference.
20:12It was a half pin that's up there after the sit down power bomb.
20:16I hate to say it, but perhaps over confidence by him.
20:19So I suppose.
20:20Yeah, that's not gonna be enough for Cody Rose.
20:23When you talk about the power and catching him out of air, what about his positioning?
20:25He was ready.
20:26He knew exactly what Cody was going for.
20:28Off the headbutt, delivered a right hand, and now he's got the champion corner in trouble.
20:31Solo is so damn impressive.
20:32See you all, Esther.
20:33And again, forcing people to acknowledge him.
20:48Cleveland's acknowledge him, all right?
20:50Here we go.
20:51Apple had a sting.
20:53Oh!
20:54Paying homage to Omaga.
20:56Backing up into Rose.
20:59And Solo has Cody in deep trouble.
21:06Here we go, here we go.
21:11Wanting Cleveland in the WWE Universe to acknowledge it.
21:14This guy is learning for it.
21:16Cody Rhodes capitalizing, yet again, as Solo took his time.
21:20Cody, you're looking for a pedigree perhaps, and now, uh-oh, almost ran into the official.
21:24Scoop up from behind, Cody rolls him up, shoulders are down, two count kick out.
21:28And Solo now-
21:29Oh!
21:30Fitting Solo hits, and connects.
21:31Let me do it!
21:32For the win, and the title, Cody's got a kick in two.
21:35The power of Solo is just on display.
21:40Take a look at this, the torque, and most importantly, the impact upon landing.
21:45He was on one leg.
21:46Solo utilizing every ounce of his weight to drive Cody Rhodes into the center of the ring,
21:53in hopes of capturing that, the undisputed WWE Championship.
21:59He had a front row seat for a long time.
22:01It's a Roman ring.
22:02And now that grip,
22:06he has muscles, Cody Rhodes, torturing the champion.
22:11Adonizing position to be trapped in.
22:14Sends pain all the way down your neck, your back, your shoulder.
22:17It can paralyze your arm, it's put on properly.
22:20How many members of the Samoan family have used that over the years?
22:23Cody Rhodes now, and again a Samoan drop by Sokoa.
22:28Crawls to the cover.
22:30Forearm right in the face of Rhodes, who's gotta kick it too.
22:34And you wonder when the frustration may start to set in for Sokoa.
22:39Cody, of course, the heart and the guts of the champ.
22:42A long road to finish the story.
22:45I was waiting for the moment that Solo lost his composure,
22:49that Solo got frustrated, perhaps blew his top, because then Cody could capitalize.
22:55But as this match goes on, I'm starting to lose doubt.
22:59Solo seems extremely confident, borderline comfortable, and mature.
23:03Yes, incredibly mature in the situation here.
23:05And look at how he takes his time.
23:07He gets Cody hung up in the ropes.
23:09And now across the ring, running headbutt by Sokoa.
23:12I don't think he got all caught up in the rope.
23:14I think Cody might be out.
23:16Did you see the way Cody's arms went limp for a moment there?
23:22And Sokoa has been dominating thus far.
23:27Stand out, Cody.
23:28Cody showed some flashes.
23:29I'm gonna beat your ass in front of your whole family.
23:31Really?
23:34Solo now just verbally berating the champion.
23:38And yet again, here it goes.
23:42Solo going for it again, and this time another.
23:45Headbutt to Rhodes, continuing to punish and torture the champ.
23:49Cody.
23:51He's hung upside down.
23:53Get your ass up.
23:55Traditionally speaking, this entire family have skulls composed of concrete.
24:01I'm sure Cody will happily attest to that once he wakes up.
24:05Cody's still hanging limp and helpless.
24:11And Sokoa.
24:12Uh-oh.
24:13To deliver another one.
24:14And Cody able to drag himself up to the top rope.
24:17Great core strength by Rhodes.
24:18Solo is basking in the moment.
24:20And Cody Rhodes gets out of the way of a third diving headbutt.
24:24Guys, look in the eyes of Cody.
24:26He looks glazed over.
24:27I'm not entirely sure Cody knows what the hell he's doing right now.
24:30Top rope for Rhodes.
24:32Look at this, takes Solo out, but can he capitalize?
24:36It was ugly, but it was effective.
24:38Also moonsault into a cross body.
24:42Now I'm absolutely convinced Cody had no idea where he was when he was on the top rope.
24:46Watch, there it is.
24:47That looks like a moonsault into a cross body by Rhodes.
24:50Reminded me of a Terry Funk moonsault.
24:52Yeah, right?
24:53And now Cody trying to fire up.
24:55It connected.
24:56It gave him some time.
24:57Cody back to his feet, looking to rally like he's done so many times.
25:01He's done so many times in his career.
25:03Go, go, go.
25:06Delivered in another one.
25:08Solo Sokoa now stunned.
25:11Cody off the rope, Solo Sokoa though.
25:14Delivered it for the win and the title.
25:17And Cody at two.
25:19The way Solo can utilize somebody else's momentum against them is just not normal.
25:26Such a gifted athlete.
25:2757,000 plus here.
25:32And this is what Solo wanted was to take the WWE Universe out of the equation.
25:37And that's what he's done.
25:38Magnificently.
25:39Extremely effectively.
25:40Capacitably.
25:41Now he's thinking about.
25:46Getting the knowledge yet again.
25:51And what we're seeing is the new Tribal Chief gaining confidence.
25:56Yeah, it's the maturation here of Solo Sokoa.
25:59But Cody Rhodes though, the champ back to his feet.
26:02And now Cody, second rope pounding away on Sokoa.
26:07Everything he's got.
26:08Uh-oh.
26:09And a headbutt.
26:10Long way down.
26:12And now Solo from the top.
26:15Cody though, up to the top rope, meets him there.
26:18From way up top, Cody Rhodes with a superplex.
26:21Critical moment now for the champion.
26:24Cody Rhodes getting up to the top rope, superplexing.
26:31Solo Sokoa completely flipping the momentum of the entire match right now possibly.
26:37This could be it for Cody.
26:39Been waiting for this moment.
26:40Yeah, Cody looking to rally though.
26:42We're gonna fight back, beat off the WWE fans.
26:45Cody has some valuable time here.
26:47The king of the damage the American Nightmare has suffered since the opening bell.
26:51Solo has been relentless.
26:53Cody Rhodes has been beaten and battered from pillar to post.
26:56Head bumped by Sokoa.
27:03Forearmed by Rhodes.
27:06Cody went to the body, good decision.
27:19Here comes Rhodes now.
27:20Look at the rally.
27:21Taking a fight to Sokoa.
27:23Right hand by Rhodes.
27:27Off the second rope, caught by Solo.
27:30What?
27:33Cody turned it around.
27:35Into the crossroads.
27:40No.
27:42Tama Tonga.
27:43And Tonga Loa.
27:44Bloodline rules.
27:47This is all perfectly legal under bloodline rules.
27:53Driving Cody into the corner.
27:56And now the beat down is on.
27:58Tama Tonga went out for the tag team champions.
28:02And Tonga Loa, who was once a tag champ.
28:05Tama Tonga.
28:07The sons of Haku.
28:09Gorillas of Destiny.
28:11God.
28:12And both of these men looking to destroy Cody Rhodes.
28:16Both of these men willing to do anything for Solo Sokoa.
28:21Doing the big.
28:23And Solo.
28:24Solo's gonna win.
28:25Solo into the cover on Rhodes for the championship.
28:28And he kicks out.
28:29I mean, this could happen all night long.
28:36Tonga and Loa are just gonna continue to massacre Cody Rhodes.
28:40And
28:45Anderson told Cody you got some friends around.
28:49Kevin Owens is back.
28:52What kind of condition is KO in?
28:56KO rushing to the ring.
28:58He's been a victim of the bloodline.
29:00Here he comes.
29:03And Kevin Owens going after Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
29:10And a super kick to Solo Sokoa.
29:12Bloodline rules.
29:13Anything goes.
29:14All hell's broken loose.
29:16Kevin Owens is kicking wholesale bloodline ass.
29:20Fight Owens, fight.
29:22Three, two.
29:23Tonga Loa now suffering the wrath of the prize fighter.
29:27But the right hand man, Tama Tonga, the numbers game.
29:31We say it ad nauseam because it's true.
29:35It's always that way with the bloodline.
29:38It's this vicious aggressive beatdown.
29:41Wait a minute.
29:50Here comes the Viper.
29:53The WWE's apex predator.
29:57Who has fought tooth and nail with the bloodline over the years.
30:01Is rushing to the ring.
30:03To the A to Rhodes and Owens.
30:05Randy Orton who lost a year and a half of his career.
30:09More than eager to re-enter the flay.
30:13RKO.
30:15Stunner.
30:20Sokoa in trouble with that- Power slam.
30:30Power slam.
30:31Power slam.
30:32And now Kevin Owens going up top.
30:34The tables have turned.
30:36With the senton, the slantod by Kevin Owens.
30:41And Cody Rhodes taking advantage of bloodline rules.
30:47With a crossroads.
30:48And a cover.
30:49And a hook of the leg to retain.
30:51And somehow Solo barely got the shoulder up.
30:54Keep pouring on the pressure Cody.
31:00Orton and Owens now focusing on Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa on the outside.
31:05They're gonna chase him throughout Cleveland Brown Stadium.
31:08Cody Rhodes is happy to see that.
31:13We're back where we began.
31:14One on one under bloodline rules.
31:16Cody Rhodes, the WWE Champion and Solo Sokoa, the challenger, who is down and out right now.
31:22Yeah, Cody cannot believe that Sokoa kicked out of crossroads moments ago.
31:27And now Cody trying to figure out, what do I do to put Sokoa away and retain the championship?
31:33I think Cody just found a little inspiration.
31:39And a steal steps into the ring.
31:41Again, legal under bloodline rules.
31:43Cody Rhodes,
31:51finding a new energy and new life after KO and Randy Orton.
31:56Take out the bloodlock.
31:57And steps off the face of Sokoa.
32:00Rhodes has been brought to hell and back by the bloodline.
32:09And he hasn't forgotten, and again off of Sokoa.
32:12And Rhodes is getting frustrated, screaming at Solo, go down, stay down somehow.
32:18The steel steps up and a spear by Sokoa to Rhodes.
32:27Into the cover to win the Underspear, the WWE title, and Cody gets the shoulder up.
32:33And now this may be where doubt starts to creep in to the mind of Solo Sokoa.
32:42Yeah, you can see it on his face.
32:44We're looking into his eyes here at ringside.
32:46And he can see some doubt, Corey.
32:48Does Solo have enough to end Cody Rhodes?
32:52He has to be wondering.
32:54He just hit him with his best shot.
32:56Cody kicks out.
32:57Now Solo's looking to do his own damage with the steel stairs.
33:01Trying to set him up to use him to the best of his ability.
33:08Cody now into the corner.
33:10And Sokoa just teeing off now.
33:13You have to wonder if that spear took what was left out of Cody.
33:19Spear did miswill.
33:22What?
33:23No, no, no, no, no.
33:25Sokoa, he wants to crush Cody Rhodes' skull.
33:29Solo full of esteem.
33:34Cody moved out of harm's way and right into the point of that steel stair.
33:40And now Cody.
33:43Crossroads.
33:47Cody looking for a second.
33:52With Solo up again.
33:54Bustle up the challenge.
33:55Another crossroads.
33:57And the way that he won the championship at WrestleMania.
34:01Cody Rhodes looking for a triple crossroads.
34:05My God.
34:08The rope is here.
34:09Jacob Fatou, the Samoan Werewolf, one half of the top team champions.
34:15Solo, Sokoa's new enforcer.
34:19Where the hell did he come from?
34:22Jacob Fatou taking out Cody Rhodes.
34:27And he's not done yet.
34:30Destroying the champion.
34:33And the official can't do a damn thing about it.
34:36This unhinsed Jacob Fatou is gonna hand the championship to Solo Sokoa.
34:45One, two, three.
34:47Cody kicked out.
34:48He kicked out, but Jacob Fatou is still standing right there.
35:00I think Cody somehow just made the worst decision possible instinctively.
35:06Kicking out.
35:08And Jacob Fatou now is about to torture, punish, and destroy the American Nightmare.
35:16This dude is an animal.
35:18Fatou with a kick to Cody.
35:22And now Fatou cleaning out the announce table here, and this is not gonna be good news.
35:30I'm getting the hell out of the way.
35:31This guy, he's been terrorizing us on Fridays for weeks now.
35:37This man is dangerous.
35:39And meanwhile, all this is going on, Solo Sokoa is barking orders from inside the ring.
35:44And recovering, and the kick now with Cody Rhodes on the table.
35:51Cody Rhodes thrown out on the table, Jacob Fatou.
35:58And man.
35:59Looking to go to the sky.
36:00Fatou's done this before.
36:02Cody Rhodes is helpless.
36:04We've seen this.
36:05Here comes the wolf.
36:07Put Rhodes to the table.
36:09Jacob Fatou just put Cody Rhodes through the announce table.
36:17Jacob might have just hurt himself in the process.
36:19Yeah, but now Cody Rhodes.
36:21This guy.
36:23Is down and out, Fatou's unhinged.
36:26And Solo Sokoa is gonna pick the bones.
36:29Solo.
36:34Get it loose.
36:36Let it sit.
36:37Fuck yeah.
36:38Jacob Fatou losing his mind out here.
36:41Just a minute.
36:42And Solo's like, okay.
36:43I think, Jacob hasn't moved.
36:45Jacob may be injured, but he's not stopping from achieving the goal.
36:50Solo Sokoa now up to the top rope.
36:53Big splash to Rhodes for the championship here tonight at SummerSlam.
36:58Cody somehow stays in it.
37:00How?
37:01Why?
37:02This bloodline is gonna keep coming over and over.
37:08Jacob Fatou soared through the sky.
37:12Splash.
37:13Cody Rhodes through the table.
37:15And now, going for the Samoan Spike and Cody just collapsed.
37:21And that may have been the thing that saved him.
37:23Cody just collapsed as Solo was going for the Spike.
37:27And now Cody's biting back.
37:31Kick to the chin.
37:32Cody Rhodes now up to the top rope.
37:34Gonna fly.
37:35Cody cut off on the top.
37:37How is Cody Rhodes doing this?
37:42But Solo wisely, instinctively or otherwise, rolling away.
37:47carpet in for little clinton.
37:49Come on up � who right away.
37:50Hold up.
37:51Good.
37:52Good.
37:53I'm gonna
38:17He's here, he's here, he's here, Roman Reigns is here.
38:21Yes, he is.
38:25Holy hell, Roman Reigns has returned.
38:31For the first time since losing his crown at WrestleMania.
38:38But the question is, why is Roman Reigns here?
38:44Who is Roman Reigns here for?
38:49Roman Reigns is here for the man who defeated him at WrestleMania.
38:54For the man who took what Roman values most.
38:58I mean, maybe Roman could be here for Solo Sokawa.
39:03The man who's been walking around saying he's the new Roman Reigns.
39:07He's the head of the table.
39:09He's the tribal chief.
39:14A lot of ones to the sky in Cleveland.
39:23Rage into the ring.
39:31Super Man punch to Solo Sokawa.
39:35The revival of the Roman Empire with a spear.
39:50Who would have thought the way that WrestleMania ended with Cody
39:52Rage into the ring.
39:53He's the best.
39:54He's the best.
39:55He's the best.
39:56He's the best.
39:57He's the best.
39:58He's the best.
39:59He's the best.
40:00He's the best.
40:01He's the best.
40:02He's the best.
40:12He's the best.
40:13He's the best.
40:14He's the best.
40:15The way that WrestleMania ended with Cody Rhodes stopping the historic reign.
40:23That Roman Reigns would walk out here tonight at SummerSlam and
40:27destroy his former enforcer, Solo Sokoa.
40:32Cody is as shocked as the rest of us.
40:34Cody looking back at Reigns delivers crossroads and the cover.
40:59Cody Rhodes retains the title.
41:04Here is your winner,
41:08Ed Steele, the undisputed WWE Champion,
41:16The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
41:24The crowd is here,
41:29about to blow,
41:32waiting for me to start the show.
41:36Never in a million years did I think I'd ever see that.
41:40With the battles that Roman Reigns and
41:44Cody Rhodes had had over the last two years.
41:48To see this scene, to see this moment here tonight in Cleveland.
41:52This is fire.
42:03This is fire.
42:04This is fire.
42:05This is fire.
