02:23And for Karrion Kross tonight, it's about stopping this man.
02:27And his opponent, from Montreal,
02:43Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 212 pounds,
02:49Sami Zayn!
02:56For how long is Karrion Kross going to carry out this vendetta against Sami Zayn?
03:02He promised Sami Zayn this past Monday night on Raw that,
03:05tonight, you are, quote, going to say the words,
03:09Kross told the truth.
03:12And in Kross' warped mind, Wade, what is that truth?
03:15Well, Kross targets liars, at least those he perceives to be liars.
03:21And in the case of Sami Zayn, he is convinced that Sami Zayn is not the model of moral purity that he portrays.
03:30That really, scratch beneath the surface of Sami Zayn, he is just like the rest of us.
03:37Wickedness resides within the soul of Sami Zayn.
03:41And that, in the eyes of Karrion Kross, is going to get exposed here tonight at SummerSlam.
03:47And, Wade, there's another layer to that, as well, because we all know that Sami Zayn,
03:51he has one goal left in WWE, and that is to finally win the World Championship.
03:58Many people, Kross included, believe that Sami Zayn must develop a mean streak,
04:03a darker side, in order to finally climb the mountain and win the title.
04:07Sami has been very against that for most of his career.
04:11Well, he's also never won the World Championship in his entire career.
04:14So, guess what, this is the fight game, you want to get to the very top,
04:17you need a little hatred in your heart.
04:20And if Sami Zayn can't embrace that hatred that does exist in his heart,
04:25he will never be the champion of the world.
04:27Kross is trying to do him a favor, in a very warped way.
04:30Well, listen, you hated a lot of people, and you never won a world title,
04:33but nonetheless, Sami Zayn whipped it in the corner.
04:36That was a skill issue, not an attitude issue.
04:38Kross now, unloading.
04:39What a cheap shot! This is about Sami Zayn and Karrion Kross.
04:43And now Sami, the big right hands to Kross,
04:46and Sami starts out a bit aggressive here tonight against Karrion Kross.
04:50Sami wants to shut up Karrion once and for all.
04:52He's had enough, he's had enough of getting attacked with steel pipes each and every week.
04:56Karrion Kross spewing his propaganda all over the place.
04:59Sami wants to end that tonight.
05:00Well, Sami's been haunted for really months now.
05:03Initially, it was verbal, whispering negativity into the ear of Sami Zayn.
05:09That didn't work, it didn't break the spirit of Zayn.
05:11He's been assaulted ever since with lead pipes.
05:14Can't break the spirit, you can't break the body.
05:16And it's a hot start here for Sami Zayn.
05:18Yeah, Sami with a moonsault off the barricade.
05:20And again, Sami Zayn with that one goal in mind.
05:27Really the last thing he says he has left to accomplish in our business,
05:31and that's win the world championship.
05:33It's hard to do that when someone like Karrion Kross is making you his victim week after week.
05:38One way or another, Sami Zayn needs to expunge the spectra of Karrion Kross for good.
05:44And Kross now with Sami up on his shoulders, driving Sami into the mat.
05:48Cover now.
05:49Is it enough to put him away?
05:51And a kick out by Zayn.
05:53The massive power differential between these two.
05:55Sami Zayn is one hell of a mover, one hell of a technician.
05:59But he simply cannot get in a power-based slugfest with Karrion Kross.
06:05Say it!
06:07Say it!
06:08Now Kross, say it.
06:09Say it.
06:10Say it.
06:11Say it!
06:12Say it!
06:13Say it!
06:14Say it!
06:15Say it!
06:16Say it!
06:17And what he want's him to say is Kross told the truth.
06:19But Sami does have a dark side.
06:22He's got a deep, dark secret according to Karrion Kross that Sami's kept suppressed for many, many years.
06:28He's not a human being on planet Earth
06:31who does not have a deep, dark secret.
06:33Deep down, we are all savages.
06:35The thin veneer of civility is one that's easy to scratch off.
06:40off and again cover by Karrion Kross hook of the leg and a kick out so what
06:45you're pretty much saying is that in order to get to the top of the game here
06:49you can't be mr. nice guy all the time boxing UFC kickboxing sumo and yes WWE
06:57you want to get to the very top this is at the fight game you have to show that
07:02you have to have that hatred you have to have that killer instinct that Sami
07:07Zayn is good he's really good he's not been good enough to win the world
07:12championship for that one reason and set it out with it axe handle off the ropes
07:16Ross a former two-time NXT champion Sami's won the Intercontinental title four times
07:21in his career NXT championship as well one and wanted SummerSlam in his career
07:29you know the stakes get higher and higher the closer you get to those world
07:33championships and that is a battle a lot of us were not capable of breaking through
07:38off the suplex hook of the leg and Sami kicks it too again Sami also trying to
07:43wash the bad tape out of his mouth from SummerSlam last year which he lost the
07:48intercontinental championship the brawn braver
07:50just say it you stupid bastard
07:52hey come on what's the matter with you
07:55no doubt it carry across to me dude
07:56just say it
07:57hey back on just say it
07:59the right game
08:00listen to me man

08:04come on
08:05one
08:05say it
08:06two
08:06three
08:07pay attention
08:09and then you got that witch scarlet yelling at him as well
08:11no no no no not a witch
08:12the sinister siren call her a witch call to another cheap shot taking one at me and
08:19taking one at scarlet now be very very careful there's a lot of people that have
08:22called her that weight I'm just uh using my journalistic instincts to bring sources
08:27forward and Sami Zayn now with the right hands pounding away on Kroch
08:32look at Sami go
08:36Kroch smartly covering up there blocking a lot of those shots Sami expending a lot of energy
08:42but he has rocked Karrion Kross now
08:44reversal
08:46Sami up over the top for the leapfrog
08:49and this is much better from Sami Zayn who simply got dragged into a turf war earlier
08:55on and is now playing to his own strengths
08:57sometimes you need to be slapped around a little in that ring to really wake up
09:02Sami went for the blue thunderbomb and Kross able to counter the doomsday Saito
09:07by Karrion Kross
09:09an ugly landing for Sami Zayn that was
09:11cover now on Zayn and Sami somehow gets the shoulder up
09:15Kroch could have hooked a leg there it might have been over but this simply isn't only about victory
09:22this is about punishing Sami Zayn until the man cracks
09:27Kroch reaching out to Scarlett and there's the steel pipe coming into play again tonight the fight for this assault with Sami Zayn and a number of occasions here
09:38the referee is currently unsighted checking on Sami Zayn and now there's a distract from Scala
09:43yes Sean Bennett does not see Kross with a steel pipe in his hand
09:47and Sami Zayn though
09:49and Sami Zayn though
09:50and Sami Zayn though
09:51blue thunderbomb off the counter
09:54near fall for Sami
09:58now the pipe backfired
10:01take another look at this with the referee distracted by Scarlett on the apron the swing
10:09the miss and the blue thunderbomb that almost got the three count there was a delayed count
10:16from a distracted referee and that's possibly the only reason Kross is still in the fight
10:22this is Zayn cracking now this is the facade for getting to break Michael Cole
10:31perhaps you're right very aggressive Zayn assaulting Kross in the ropes
10:37clearly lost it after that attempt by Kross with the lead pipe once again
10:42well you can't quite blame Sami with everything he's been put through by Kross in the past few weeks
10:46but is this Kross being proved right is the evil starting to seep through of Sami Zayn's
10:51the referee struggling to even hold back Sami Zayn at this point
10:58Sami's lost it
11:02the official Sean Bennett trying to talk some sense into Sami
11:06Sami needs to regain his composure here
11:08yeah reminding him that you uh-oh
11:10and now Scarlett offering the weapon to Sami
11:16now the moment of truth for Zayn
11:18the moral dilemma
11:21the devil inside is coming out to play tonight
11:27well Sami Zayn cross over to the dark side
11:29at the behest of Scarlett
11:31he says no
11:38he says no
11:51an emphatic no from Sami Zayn
11:56and now Zayn from behind
11:58trying to take advantage
11:59Sami
12:00and now Zayn hooks him
12:06exploder dropped him on the back of his head
12:10it's a heavy landing for Karrion Kross who is completely rocked
12:14oh he's just rolled in the back of his head
12:18a little bit of a kick
12:19cover
12:24here is your winner
12:31Sami Zayn
12:35Sami Zayn proves that sometimes Wade
12:39good guys
12:40good guys could finish first
12:42well we all have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other but for Sami Zayn the voice of that angel is simply too loud
12:52too loud and blocks out that little devil or at least it did tonight
12:57Sami Zayn picks up the win tonight
13:07and a moral victory for Sami Zayn
13:09would Sami Zayn use the pipe
13:12an emphatic no
13:13every opportunity in the world to crack
13:17and show the wickedness that lurks within
13:20but Sami Zayn just had the moral fortitude to deny it tonight and one haluba kick later
13:27it was game over for Karrion Kross
13:38Sami Zayn with a smile on his face will leave tonight
