00:56actually more complex than anybody understands tell them to go now tell them to go now this is a
01:02calculated coordinated production seven days a week 365 days a year soap opera baby show business
01:11the story never ends you guys had no idea right no no and as we enter into a new era here
01:18there are a million things to figure out
01:22we have one of the all-time greats coming back for our retirement run
01:29we have incredible performers still in their prime
01:34we have storylines that are years in the making young talent that will become
01:42that next generation of superstars i want to put a rocket on your ass everybody wants a spot
01:49but there are only so many available oh my god yeah i fucking peed myself
01:55that is the biggest challenge it's like putting together a puzzle
02:01but the pieces are always moving oh god we're gonna lift the curtain we're gonna show you things
02:07you've never seen in this show oh no no no to the bottom he might be dead
02:11you're okay for the first time ever
02:14i'm ready we're gonna show you
02:16how the story unfolded
02:19john before your eyes
02:21i was so scared about to come back
02:23it's good enough for the fans
02:25you've always been a main event guy
02:28i don't get here without you thank you
02:29this is absolute insanity
02:32i need your soul
02:35ready here it is
02:37two give two camera two camera
02:39just get started man
02:59hey hey how are you good you want to do some christmas stuff today do you want to put ornaments on the tree
03:12yeah okay
03:13do you want to put this you want to put this guy sean michaels gingerbread sean michaels
03:18he was my favorite wrestler
03:20all right so we're just like that too like gingerbread
03:23yeah he was made of gingerbread
03:25that was they used to call it sweet chin music because of the gingerbread
03:28my name is cody runnels
03:32and uh my wrestling name
03:35and what i go by and pretty much i've gone by my whole life is cody roads
03:39libby thinks that cody is a professional dancer
03:43because she saw entrances
03:50which is the big music and the lighting
03:52i think she thinks there's a component of dancing to it
03:56and has asked me before are you going to go dancing will you be dancing
04:00and i think she's even said when we showed her a couple clips on youtube
04:03oh this is the dancing
04:05it's not the worst
04:13parallel
04:15i'm good with that
04:21if when i asked what papa does for a living i'm a dancer
04:27for my daughter i'd be the best staring dancer i possibly can be
04:33my role in wwe is that i am currently the undisputed wwe champion
04:42the american nightmare is here
04:46it is a role that is kind of the hood ornament
04:50for the company
04:52i get to be one of the most authentic if not most authentic wrestlers of this era
04:58simply for the fact that i play myself
05:01i am myself
05:03cody is the closest thing right now i think that we have to just a pure baby face
05:10that spot
05:13in my opinion probably the most difficult spot in the business right now
05:17easy to be a bad guy
05:18tell people a bunch of convoluted shit that seems reasonable to you
05:22and that's fun and easy
05:24just to be the guy that does the right thing all the time
05:28and overcomes and always succeeds
05:31people start to feel it's predictable
05:33people start to feel like it's
05:35like nobody's that good
05:36you know it's a tough thing
05:37i felt like such a bigger baby face
05:41as white meat as you could be
05:45as fucking white meat as you could be
05:48be that way until we can anymore you know
05:50it ain't going anywhere
05:52now we just gotta navigate it
05:54that's our fucking job
05:55our job me you fucking everybody
05:57but we navigate this now and figure out
05:59where we need to get it
06:01at some point here in a minute i need to get a picture of you with that
06:05one of my favorite ones ever
06:07there's a huge difference between being a wrestler
06:12and the wwe champion
06:14i've seen cody through every one of those seasons
06:19and this by far
06:20the demand of the job is unimaginable
06:24i'm incredibly lucky that my wife and i met in wrestling
06:29otherwise she would have left
06:31she knows what this push is
06:33she knows what it could mean for the future
06:36and she knows what it means right here and now
06:40people say it all the time the face of the company
06:44yeah
06:44when people say that
06:47my heart like skips a beat
06:49um
06:51because i always wanted to be that
06:53i just didn't know i could
06:55there you go look
06:56it's perfect
06:57yeah
06:58so january 6th the premiere on netflix
07:15fun raw
07:16is massively important for this company
07:22putting us on a platform that is what
07:27300 million homes in that ballpark
07:30globally
07:31that's a lot of people
07:33uh
07:34jan 6
07:36yes
07:37paul is our chief content officer
07:41his experience as being a former superstar
07:43for so many years
07:45it's kind of helped aid him
07:48as a performer
07:49he was great
07:50triple h
07:51with the paragraph
07:52triple h
07:53wins the title
07:55he was a student of the game
07:57tonight
07:58an army
07:59you know kind of understood the bigger picture of
08:02storytelling
08:03so now he's brought that to his role as chief content officer here
08:08i think
08:09cody
08:10doesn't have like a
08:11role in this show
08:13he's been eyeballing this show as far as like
08:15you want to be a part of it
08:16yes yeah
08:16yeah
08:17you know he hits me fucking every day
08:19with cody rhodes
08:21the bigger the star
08:22the more you want to
08:24provide some scarcity
08:26of their star power
08:27to keep them
08:29as big as they are
08:30so it's special when
08:31cody rhodes is there
08:33and fans
08:34see that
08:35and feel that
08:35and they're anticipating your return even more
08:38so you have to know where everything is going long term and way in advance
08:44so we tend to break it down sort of into seasons
08:48the season will start with january 6th the netflix premiere
08:53we'll do the weekly television shows
08:56at minimum
08:57twice a week
08:59along the way
09:01we will do the royal rumble
09:03which kicks off the road to wrestlemania
09:05we will do elimination chamber
09:07which continues that road to wrestlemania
09:08and then we will get to wrestlemania itself
09:11which is a two day
09:12basically it's our super bowl
09:14along the way
09:17you're building up these storylines
09:20obviously the biggest storylines
09:22revolve around our biggest stars
09:24chief among them being cody rhodes
09:26but john cena
09:29is coming back for one last year
09:31of a retirement run
09:33arguably one of the greatest performers
09:36in the history of our business
09:37and the return of john
09:40is a wonderful thing
09:42and a challenge at the same time
09:44my name is john cena
09:46the name i use in the ring is john cena
09:47my government name is john cena
09:49wrestling is the foundation
09:52of the house of my family relationship
09:55i grew up in a family of five boys
09:58and wrestling was our conduit
09:59it was our connection system
10:01i appreciate this
10:04as my hobby
10:06it's the best of imagination land
10:10not only did i do it during my free time
10:12but i paid to do it
10:13that i am the future of this business
10:17so i would do this for free
10:20i just physically can't do it anymore
10:23cody rhodes is in many ways
10:26kind of inherited that mantle
10:28from john cena
10:29and cody understood
10:31just how much
10:33the netflix premiere meant for the company
10:35and cody i think just
10:36feeling as if he is
10:38he calls himself
10:38the quarterback of
10:40of the team
10:40he wanted to be a part of it
10:42cody wants to save
10:44i know
10:45cody wants it like
10:46they all square up
10:47the fucking
10:47you know
10:48takes heena down
10:49and cody rubs it
10:50and fucking
10:50makes the save
10:52totally understood
10:53obviously
10:53on big shows in company history
10:55cody
10:55is in a fucking franchise
10:57probably every reason
10:58to have him on the show
10:58i'm just like
10:59we don't have
11:00a half a dozen
11:01heels who are just
11:02everybody's got stories
11:03so it's like
11:04we're gonna chuck
11:04judgment day out there
11:05you know
11:06it's
11:06yeah
11:06i also
11:07and i get
11:08cody's point of view
11:09but also like
11:10it was the first time
11:11we see john cena
11:12in
11:13what
11:15a year
11:16but like
11:17the first time
11:18he comes out
11:19and like
11:19somebody's gotta save him
11:20it just feels
11:21off to me too
11:22we can
11:24write
11:25and choreograph
11:26whatever we want
11:27back here
11:28you have to be
11:30ready for the element
11:31you can't control
11:32and that's the audience
11:33if you ignore them
11:34man
11:36they will skewer you
11:37but
11:38i think whatever
11:40a performer does
11:41they have to invest in it
11:42and the roster's pretty deep
11:44but we got a lot of all-stars
11:45so right now i have
11:47punk and seth
11:49roman and solo
11:50rhea and live
11:52matches are so big
11:54you wouldn't want to give them time
11:56yes
11:57i love like
12:08taxidermy stuff
12:09so i have
12:09a two-headed duck
12:11i have
12:11an octopus

12:13crocodile
12:14i have this little like
12:16mozzie

12:19like i love
12:22creepy artwork
12:23and dark colours
12:25and
12:26i love all of that stuff
12:27that's why my office
12:28looks like this
12:30technically my name is
12:33Demity Bennett
12:33but i go by
12:35rhea ripley
12:35and that's what everyone
12:36really knows me by
12:37rhea is a goddess name
12:40and ripley is from
12:42the chick from aliens
12:43because she's a badass
12:43and i just put them together
12:45ah ah
12:45thought it made sense
12:46i'm from adelaide south australia
12:50i watched wwe growing up
12:52absolutely loved it
12:54wwe came to australia
12:57when i was 17 years old
12:58and they gave me a tryout then
12:59but i was too young
13:01they ended up coming back
13:03when i was 20
13:03and they had another tryout
13:05so they invited me to that
13:06and
13:07yeah
13:08i mean
13:08the rest is pretty much history
13:10it's weird describing rhea ripley for me
13:17because
13:18i am
13:19rhea ripley
13:20it's just like a 10 times version
13:22of myself
13:23she's crazy
13:26rhea
13:27riptide
13:29through the table
13:30she's kind of scary
13:32but you're kind of attracted to her
13:33at the same time
13:34rhea ripley
13:35absolutely possessed
13:37i like to say that
13:38it's the side of me
13:39that would get arrested
13:40in everyday life
13:41she's just absolutely chaotic
13:44and sadistic
13:46and manipulative
13:47it's all the sides of me
13:49that i don't like to show
13:50in my everyday life
13:51i'm always like
13:53demi bennett right before
13:54and i'm like freaking out
13:56and then
13:56as soon as my music plays
13:58i'm rhea ripley
14:00when that music hits
14:08it's
14:09a moment
14:10in the crowd
14:11and it's undeniable
14:12she has it
14:14she can be the biggest star
14:16in this business
14:16for a long time to come
14:17yeah i
14:19sorry my dog is
14:21playing with this tennis ball

14:36that i've ever met
14:37huh

14:41so the story between me
14:43liv and dom
14:44has actually
14:45been going for
14:47like an eternity
14:47it feels like it
14:49this has gone on
14:52long enough
14:53liv and i
14:54we have
14:57been feuding
14:58for
14:59like three years
15:00not falling

15:04because we started
15:04as a tag team
15:05me and dom and i
15:06we kind of just like
15:07we kind of got put into
15:09this storyline together
15:11which i don't think
15:12was supposed to be
15:13a relationship storyline
15:15and then liv morgan
15:17decided to try and steal
15:18my family
15:18which she accomplished
15:20dom
15:22turned on me
15:23and helped liv
15:24beat me
15:25for the women's world championship
15:26it was a wild ride
15:32you're dead to me
15:35done
15:37get out of my business
15:39before that
15:41she ruined my entire life
15:43at work
15:44and she's
15:45she's sort of
15:45sucker attacking you
15:48and
15:49did you want me to
15:50sort of fight back a little bit
15:52or just take it
15:52depends
15:53depends on what she's
15:54like what is she
15:55throwing do we know
15:56and
15:59that's
16:01where
16:01my whole year
16:02kind of changed
16:03she threw me into the wall
16:08but like i have a
16:10third grade ac sprain
16:11i full-on
16:12broke character
16:13as well
16:14in
16:16in that scene
16:17my collarbone
16:18and my shoulder blade
16:19got ripped apart
16:20she had to kick me
16:22into the second wall
16:22but my shoulder
16:23was already stuffed up
16:25so i'm like
16:25holding my arm
16:26when liv gets on me
16:28it's like punching me
16:29in the shoulder
16:30in the bad shoulder
16:31and i was like
16:32somebody please
16:33get her off me
16:34bruh
16:38i felt it
16:40as soon as i hit the wall
16:42i was like

16:43and i was like
16:44oh shit
16:45i drew myself
16:47into the wall
16:48and i do it
16:49man
16:49what the fuck
16:54so i had a grade 3
16:59ac sprain
17:00which means
17:02that my shoulder blade
17:03and my collarbone
17:06aren't connected
17:07anymore
17:07the only way
17:08to get them
17:09back together
17:09is through surgery
17:11and i opted not
17:12so like
17:12it was either
17:13surgery
17:14you have a scar
17:14or no surgery
17:16you have a massive
17:17lump in your shoulder
17:18so um
17:19that's why
17:19i have this
17:20bad boy
17:22so
17:23he looks pretty
17:25gnarly sometimes
17:26but
17:27it's just gonna be there
17:29until i decide to fix it
17:30if i do
17:31because i can still go back
17:32and have the surgery
17:33i just
17:34don't want to have that extra time off
17:36because it's gonna be six months
17:37compared to three months
17:38i know this sucks
17:39do not freak out
17:41we will make this
17:42into something wonderful
17:43okay

17:58my entire life
18:13i've done this
18:14so i can't say
18:15it's any harder now
18:16just because i'm older
18:17you know
18:17it's always been tough
18:19suffering is relative
18:23it's situational
18:24so now
18:24i think
18:25the landscape
18:26is changing
18:26so much
18:27and that excites me
18:29so i'm looking at that
18:31as like
18:31this is uncharted water
18:33i've never been more excited
18:35my name is punk
18:37cm punk
18:38punker
18:38cookie monster
18:39pepsi phil
18:42um
18:43black philip

18:54in 1993
18:55i started wrestling
18:57professionally in 1997
19:00i was always drawn to punk rock
19:04because if there was a rule of punk rock
19:06it's be yourself
19:07i have a hall of fame career i could put up against anybody
19:12oh my god
19:14cm punk is leaving
19:15with the wwe championship
19:18but if there was one thing
19:19in the sport i have not accomplished
19:23it's main event in wrestlemania
19:24initially
19:26uh hunter and i
19:28clashed because
19:29i was
19:30a main talent
19:32roster full-time
19:34the same time he was a main talent roster full-time
19:36so there's that competition
19:37and a lot of that generation
19:40was looking down
19:41at kids like me
19:42saying
19:43oh you're here to take my spot
19:45well i'm not going to let you
19:46or at least it's going to be a fight
19:47halfway through my career here
19:50he becomes office
19:51and now i'm like
19:52fuck you
19:53you can't tell me anything
19:54i always felt like my job
19:56was i'm in between
19:58office
19:59and the talent
20:00but punk would never let me
20:02assist
20:03and he would then
20:03sometimes attack me
20:05like you know
20:06where there would be moments
20:08where we'd have a meeting
20:08and he'd come at me
20:09and i'd leave there thinking like
20:10this little motherfucker
20:12punk didn't trust me
20:15and i didn't trust punk
20:17i had been on the road
20:19365 days a year

20:31i have
20:32a lot of things
20:34i want to get off my chest
20:35and you can say
20:37that i have a big mouth
20:38and i talked a lot of shit
20:39that doesn't mean
20:41anything i said
20:42was nothing short of
20:44100% fact
20:46i'm not on your
20:47lovely little collector cups
20:49i'm not on the cover
20:50of the program
20:51i'm barely promoted
20:52i don't get to be in movies
20:54but the fact that duane
20:56is in the main event
20:57of wrestlemania next year
20:59and i'm not
20:59makes me sick
21:00this was phil brooks
21:04talking through the mouth
21:06of cm punk
21:07and saying all the things
21:09that you weren't
21:10supposed to say
21:12if i didn't take myself
21:14off the hamster wheel
21:15nobody else was gonna
21:17and they were gonna
21:17they were gonna work me
21:18until i died
21:19when i left this place
21:22in 2014
21:23i was heartbroken
21:24it took
21:26maybe 10 years
21:27for me to
21:28heal
21:28from a lot of things
21:30we'd had conversations
21:31over the years
21:32for me to be able
21:33to come back here
21:34and just
21:36nothing
21:36nothing stuck
21:37i felt like
21:40how he communicated
21:41with others
21:42needed to change
21:43one time
21:45when he and i met
21:46after he had left
21:48this is years later
21:49where there was a
21:50conversation about him
21:51coming back
21:51i said
21:52still the same dude
21:54won't work
21:54the last time
21:56that we met
21:57and talked with him
21:57i felt like
21:59he honestly

24:11in the industry
24:12i'm looking at netflix
24:14like
24:14there's only one
24:15debut

24:22seth out
24:22gets in your face
24:26there
24:27at some point
24:28boom

24:41monday night raw
24:42on netflix
24:42one of the most
24:42anticipated matches ever
24:44you against seth rollo's
24:46personal animosity
24:46disdain
24:47seth right now
24:48looks and sounds like
24:50cf punk
24:51from 2013
24:52i know
24:53i know you know
24:54everybody else knows
24:55this is your last chance
24:57one of two things
25:00is gonna happen
25:00you're gonna self-destruct
25:03like you always do
25:05or if by some miracle
25:07you have changed
25:09and you've got any gas left
25:12in this old tank
25:13maybe one day you'll be lucky enough
25:16to stand across the ring
25:18to stand across the ring from me
25:19and then i will expose you
25:22for the fraud that you are
25:24i think to understand
25:29you have to talk about the history
25:31between myself and seth rollins
25:33and it goes back quite a bit
25:35you're talking about
25:36the 16 year old seth rollins
25:38came to see m punk
25:40and asked him
25:41to train him
25:42for free
25:44now that entitlement
25:45i think has carried over
25:47into the adult
25:49seth rollins
25:50now i don't claim
25:51to do those things
25:52because i wanted to thank you
25:54i recognized that
25:55that 16 year old kid
25:57had all the potential
25:57in the world
25:58and in my absence
26:00from this company
26:01seth did a fantastic job
26:03of filling that vacuum
26:04but
26:04simply put the starters back
26:06second string
26:08gotta sit back down
26:08on the bench
26:09welcome back

26:36i don't need a mic
26:37i don't need a microphone
26:38if he was right here
26:41right now
26:41beginning and the end
26:43it's my time now baby
26:45ladies and gentlemen
26:49in 19 nights
26:51the series premiere
26:53let me applaud
26:54yeah so before we get into
27:06anything deeper than that
27:07let's talk about
27:08guerrilla position
27:09you know years ago
27:15when tv production
27:17started to become
27:18a thing
27:19guerrilla monsoon
27:23very famous
27:24wrestler
27:24he was timing
27:27things and controlling
27:28things
27:29from the area
27:31right before talent
27:32would walk out
27:32to go to the ring
27:33that became known as
27:35guerrilla position
27:36guerrilla position
27:38in today's world
27:40it is
27:41the epicenter
27:42of everything we do
27:43the show is run
27:45from there
27:45the guerrilla position
27:48is probably
27:50the most
27:51important
27:52position
27:53in the arena
27:54have a great show guys
27:55you basically
27:57control the world
27:59tonight
27:59your world
28:01the world
28:01wrestling and entertainment
28:03is controlled
28:03from the guerrilla position
28:05you know the guerrilla position
28:10is very unique
28:11in every arena
28:12it's custom built
28:14however the the inside
28:16and the workings of it
28:17are the same
28:18there's primarily
28:19three tables
28:20set up inside
28:21guerrilla position
28:22there's one table
28:23where triple h
28:25and bruce pritchard
28:26are sitting
28:26there's another table
28:27where billy kidman
28:28who is our producer
28:29responsible for timing
28:30out the show
28:31and keeping tabs
28:32on times
28:32next to him
28:34will sit
28:34the respective
28:35match producer
28:35as a producer
28:38i'm basically
28:39the liaison
28:40if you will
28:41between the talent
28:42and the heads
28:43of creative
28:44stay tight right here
28:46he'll convert this over
28:47nice
28:50all of our producers
28:52are former
28:53in-ring talents
28:54so for example
28:55chris park
28:56who was known
28:57as abyss
28:58another match producer
29:01is bobby root
29:02michael hayes
29:04from the fabulous
29:05free birds
29:05is our longest
29:06tenured producer
29:07and bruce pritchard
29:09is the executive
29:10director
29:11of the creative
29:12writing team
29:12so the mechanics
29:15during the match
29:15for me
29:16and the reason
29:16i'm wearing a headset
29:17is i'm talking
29:18to the truck
29:19keeping them
29:20about 10 or 15
29:21seconds ahead
29:22of what's going
29:22on in the ring
29:23so that the cameras
29:24capture the story
29:25that we're trying
29:26to tell
29:26the whole story
29:27is we want
29:28to catch puck
29:28looking to the top
29:29of the cage
29:30for this last one
29:31bunk's eyes
29:32yeah there it is
29:33that is a great shot
29:35another thing
29:36that i'm doing
29:37on that headset
29:37as well
29:38is i'm talking
29:39to the referees
29:39the referees
29:40can hear me
29:40we need to go spider
29:42we need to go
29:43get him there quick
29:44i told him
29:46i told him
29:46the producers
29:48are talking
29:49to the referees
29:51all right
29:51stay with jacob
29:52braun's gonna meet
29:53him with a chair
29:53that he's pulling
29:54from behind timekeepers
29:55it's a whole nother
29:56world in my earpiece
29:57so the fans
29:58you guys are seeing
29:59just two wrestlers
30:00wrestling you know
30:01but in my ear
30:02i'm listening to
30:02at least in a match
30:04like five different things
30:05jacob
30:06jacob okay
30:07everybody's good
30:09he's selling
30:09if the talent
30:11needs to pick up
30:12their energy
30:13needs to have
30:14more urgency
30:15needs to slow down
30:16let something breathe
30:18whatever that instruction is
30:20it goes right
30:21through the ref
30:21be careful
30:24we're swinging a chair
30:25near the fans
30:26brock be careful
30:28oh
30:29damn it
30:29do not push fans
30:31right to the gun
30:32right to the back
30:33to the back again
30:34to the shoulders
30:35oh those are extras
30:35oh
30:36yes
30:39those are extras
30:40timing's probably
30:42the biggest pitfall
30:43that we need to look out for
30:45i can relay messages
30:46through the referees
30:48to the talent
30:48so a lot of times
30:50hey guys
30:50we only have two minutes left
30:51we're not gonna be able
30:52to fit all four of this in
30:53so that becomes stressful
30:54going heavy
30:57or going short
30:59are equally bad
31:00so plan a
31:02hit your time
31:03plan b

39:48victoria hit her she drops the chair turn around fuck it whoa
39:53it's a lot
39:56i like to go to priest and i like to just like go over what i'm gonna be doing out there
40:04yeah it's a lot just be prepared to cut and because you can't just rush through everything
40:11without your emotion
40:12so it was just him pretty much telling me like less is more which is a massive thing in this business
40:19like less is really more
40:20like i said whether slapping the mat or just a fucking scream but like to yourself not even for the crowd
40:26it's just realistic you know what i mean like you're like
40:28and you stand up and you didn't catch that
40:31and then you i mean mouth something if you want to say something like but naturally for real like to look at her and be like
40:36now i'm gonna fucking kill you without the fuck but
40:39take it easy
40:42but then it's so weird because like i went from
40:45having an emotional breakdown and a massive panic attack
40:50to hearing my music walking out there and being completely fine
40:54tonight an opportunity for rhea ripley to get a title back
41:13if you look up the word superstar in the dictionary that woman's face would be on that page rhea ripley
41:23has it all
