00:00The following contest scheduled for
00:05one fall is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
00:16Introducing first, the challenger from Davenport,
00:23Iowa, weighing in at 225 pounds,
00:31Seth freaking Rollins.
00:42And his opponent, from San Francisco,
00:48California, weighing in at 242 pounds,
00:55he is the World Heavyweight Champion,
01:01main event, Jey Uso.
01:11His first title event since he shocked the world at WrestleMania last month with a,
01:17win over Gunther.
01:19And tonight, he puts the title on the line against one of the greats.
01:25The architect, the visionary.
01:27A man who has won five world titles in his career.
01:31Seth freaking Rollins.
01:34Rollins, Uso, our main event for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:40It's going to take some time to get used to.
01:42It's Paul Heyman, Braun Breaker in the corner of Seth freaking Rollins.
01:45It's crazy to think of what this trio could be.
01:49Again, I'm going to ask you the question I asked you earlier on.
01:51Did Uso make the right decision or was it really just a knee-jerk reaction to face Seth tonight?
01:57Well, time will tell.
01:58They say anytime you're making decisions with emotions running high.
02:01Well.
02:02Probably not going to be good decisions.
02:03Well, you should have thought of that and taken your own advice.
02:06Of course, easier said than done.
02:09And Jey Uso was the latest victim.
02:11Rollins and Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship.
02:17Rollins, side headlock, standing switch now by Seth.
02:24Take down by Rollins, shoulders down, looking for the quick win here.
02:29And Uso's gotta kick out at two.
02:32Gonna do some black and brave wrestling here, says Seth freaking Rollins.
02:37Jey Uso, the fifth member of the Anawaii family to hold the World Heavyweight Championship.
02:43Tremendous lineage.
02:47Breaker, big sign, Heyman as well.
02:51Paul Heyman actually had the audacity to come out here tonight and say that he built the bloodline.
02:56Five years, he said.
02:57He built everything that our tribal chief did.
03:00He took credit for it.
03:02Turned it against Roman, then turned on CM Punk, and now has found himself, ooh,
03:07covered by Rollins, kick out.
03:08With Seth freaking Rollins and Braun Breaker.
03:11And again, cover by Rollins.
03:13Rollins knows he's not gonna beat Jey that quickly.
03:15He's just trying to send a little message, play some mind games here.
03:19And, couch it on the corner.
03:25Again, Jey looks a bit out of sorts tonight.
03:28You know, not much time to prepare for this.
03:31You know, Rollins said, I like when a good plan comes together.
03:34He's been probably thinking all week that he had a good possibility to have this match tonight.
03:38Let's prepare Caruso.
03:41Listen to what Seth was talking to Paul earlier.
03:44Feels like this was Seth's idea and then Paul Heyman executing.
03:48That's the game you wanna play.
03:49That's how you wanna do it a lot.
03:52That's how you wanna play.
03:54Look, Jey is not gonna back down and take the fight now to Rollins.
03:58Taking the fight now to Rollins and here we go.
04:00This is right in Jey's wheelhouse.
04:06Rollins trying to cover up.
04:07Now kick right to the midsection, drops the champ.
04:09Rollins looking for a stop and Jey able to move out of harm's way.
04:13Kick again to the midsection, looking for a pedigree.
04:15Some space and Seth will take a breather.
04:18Jey Uso isn't scared to go to that super kick.
04:21Seth freaking Rollins do that.
04:23Jey Uso's super kick is very lethal.
04:26Paul Heyman saying earlier tonight the world title is about power and control.
04:31He said that James doesn't understand the leverage that he has with the title.
04:36He's good, he's the champ for a reason.
04:40Heyman says that Rollins has to be champion stage two of the plane.
04:49Yeah, we have no idea what's on the mind of these three men.
04:51Not at all, I'm so shocked at the fact that just seeing Braun Breaker standing next to Paul Heyman is shocking in a way, although it shouldn't be, right?
04:59Yeah, it looks like they both got back from the trip to the sun.
05:02Look at, Rollins is stomping away on Jey Uso.
05:07Rollins is just a master at all this as he sends the champ into the corner.
05:12He did the levels that Seth freaking Rollins has already been to, all the fame type stuff already in his career.
05:18Now he's teaming up with the man who's brought billions.
05:21And billions.
05:22Of dollars in blockbuster to the WWE over the years.
05:26Well Rollins is a five time world champ.
05:28He's held two US titles, two intercontinental titles, six tag team titles, NXT championship as well.
05:34Been money in the bank, cashed in at WrestleMania.
05:37Jey Uso, first time as world champion, first title defense.
05:41Paul Heyman is trying to get the crowd to sing Seth freaking Rollins song.
05:44Of course he is.
05:45Of course he is.
05:46Literally leading.
05:47Nobody's following along.
05:50They're yeeting in his face.
05:51They're yeeting all over his face over here.
05:53He's the maestro.
05:54As he wants to be.
05:56And Jey Uso now fighting back.
05:58Talk about, Pat, how much pressure is on Uso tonight in his first title defense after shocking the world at WrestleMania.
06:03Yeah, certainly a lot of pressure, but this is the life of a champion.
06:06Oh!
06:07Him even agreeing.
06:08My God, Seth freaking Rollins sent into the table.
06:10Right into the announce table.
06:11And now Jey Uso, suicide dive.
06:13Rollins sent over the announce table.
06:16Jey Uso is rolling.
06:19Ron Brayken was just popping off at the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
06:23And now Seth freaking Rollins is laid out after the table.
06:33We're back at our main event.
06:34Rollins and Uso for the world heavyweight title.
06:36You know, Pat, they often say that you have to learn how to become a champion.
06:41That's what Jey Uso has to do tonight.
06:43You have to learn how to be a champion, Paul.
06:45That's what Jey Uso has to learn every day of his life.
06:48Is something new.
06:49Tonight, it was Paul Heyman coming out.
06:51And selling him on a dream of a world heavyweight championship match tonight.
06:56Against Seth freaking Rollins.
06:57And he's big hook, line, and sinker.
06:59And now Rollins and Heyman and Breaker have Uso exactly where they want him.
07:04Well, maybe not.
07:05Jey Uso showing that grit that won him the world title in the first place.
07:08One of 10 tag team titles over his career.
07:11And now the body shots by Rollins unloading on Uso.
07:15He's trying to cover up official Chad Patton.
07:18Giving a lot of leeway to the challenger.
07:20Rollins has gotta be careful not to be disqualified.
07:22Champion's getting beaten down there.
07:25Champion's advantage.
07:26Rollins has to pin or submit Jey in this match.
07:30There's a chance that Paul Heyman has gotten a hold of this ref though.
07:33I mean, that's-
07:34You mean pay him off?
07:35I don't wanna say there's corruption either.
07:37I don't wanna say-
07:39Paul Heyman is the most corrupt person I've ever met in my life,
07:42and I've known the guy for 30 years.
07:43Yeah, but not with the officials.
07:44Not with our refs here at WWE.
07:46Fair and square.
07:47Down the middle.
07:48Can't have any corruption with the refs.
07:50Rollins down.
07:51Now.
07:52Hooking Uso.
07:53Jey fighting back though.
07:55Jey with a headbutt.
07:59Rollins dropped to the mat.
08:00Jey is so comfortable up there.
08:04Jey now on the top rope.
08:06Lands on his feet.
08:08And Uso building momentum.
08:11Both men down center of the ring.
08:13Double cross body.
08:14I know what you're gonna do.
08:19Cuz I'm gonna do the same damn thing.
08:22Double cross body.
08:24World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
08:26Deep end.
08:28This is what life is like with the target on your waist, Jey Uso.
08:32This is awesome.
08:36World Heavyweight Championship match on Monday Night Raw.
08:39And Jey Uso now with a big right hand to Rollins.
08:44Stunning him.
08:45Jey Uso digging down deep.
08:47Here comes the world champ.
08:48Deep.
08:49Deep.
08:50Deep.
08:52Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:55Jey starting to feel it now down goes Rollins.
08:58Samoan drops.
09:01This is what Jey's been waiting for.
09:04Real shining championship moxie.
09:11And into the corner.
09:14Jey into Omaga and his daddy Rikishi.
09:17Cover.
09:18Hook to the leg.
09:19Shoulders down.
09:20And Rollins at two.
09:22I don't know how Seth kicked out of that.
09:24Did you hear that thud?
09:26When his ass hits Seth's head.
09:28And then that turned buffer.
09:29All of Omaha rattled.
09:31Even those cows that become the steaks.
09:39An absolute brawl here.
09:42Look at this.
09:43Look at this.
09:44Full speed.
09:45Bang.
09:46Bang.
09:47Bang.
09:48Jey Uso said.
09:49And Jey now lifting Rollins up again.
09:52I don't know how Seth kicked out.
09:53I don't know how Seth is still fighting right now.
09:55And he's scourged to the outside.
09:57Smart play.
09:58Kicked into the corner.
10:13Seth freaking Rollins.
10:17And Rollins with a suicide dive.
10:21I'll tell you what Seth's work rate is something that's tough to keep up with.
10:27A little heavyweight champion.
10:30Oh caught him.
10:31Jey Uso caught him.
10:32Cover now.
10:33For the win.
10:34To retain the title.
10:36How in the world does Seth freaking Rollins keep kicking out?
10:42He must have come down from 15 feet.
10:46Right into an Air Force One.
10:48Boom.
10:49On the button.
10:50Indeed it is.
10:55Jey Uso.
10:57Jey Uso.
10:58Jey Uso.
10:59Jey Uso.
11:00Jey Uso.
11:01Jey Uso.
11:02Jey Uso.
11:03Jey Uso.
11:04Jey Uso.
11:05Jey Uso.
11:06Jey Uso.
11:07What a title defense by main event Jey Uso here tonight.
11:10The Knicks beat the Celtics.
11:17And Jey Uso has almost beat Seth freaking Rollins twice now.
11:22What more is it gonna take?
11:25And a kick.
11:30So close to a spear.
11:33Seth freaking Rollins now.
11:35He's thinking buckle bomb.
11:37I think there's blood all over Jey Uso from Seth freaking Rollins.
11:40Yeah, Rollins was cut open when he went over the announce table earlier on.
11:43Rollins down with a buckle bomb to Jey.
11:45Jey's in trouble.
11:46Seth Rollins could be closing in on the world heavyweight title.
11:50Seth freaking Rollins doing all of this.
11:54With blood shedding from his head.
11:57Seth top rope.
11:58Frog splash.
11:59Nobody holds.
12:05Spear.
12:06Oh, caught him with a pedigree.
12:07Caught him with a pedigree.
12:08Counter to the spear for the world title.
12:11And Uso kicks out.
12:12Look at this, what a counter by Seth into almost a half a pedigree there, but it was effective.
12:24It was a super pedigree, more so than a half pedigree.
12:27Catching a spear directly into a pedigree.
12:31Yeah, that's the only accurate response.
12:37Both these men beat down.
12:46Gut check time.
12:47Championship on the line.
12:49Wise Man Consultant.
12:50Rollins.
12:59Think about the hundreds of times that Wise Man's been in this situation.
13:02Yeah, Rollins too, looking for his sixth world title.
13:05Measuring main event, Jey Uso.
13:07Looking with a stop, Jey able to duck underneath.
13:11Rollins, Rollins, the way he beat Gunther.
13:14The way he beat Gunther at WrestleMania.
13:16And Rollins able to counter.
13:20Jey Uso now.
13:22Spear!
13:23Spear!
13:24Cover!
13:25Cover!
13:26One, two, three, four.
13:28Rollins stays in it!
13:31All of Omaha thought we had a and still situation.
13:40Now is the champion, Pat, beginning to doubt himself a bit.
13:46He has to be contemplating what needs to be done to put Seth freaking Rollins out of his misery.
13:51How do we get him to lay on his back for three seconds as Omaha?
13:56For the first time in seven months, the men's world title on the line on Monday Night Raw in our main event.
14:09Jey Uso back to his feet, butt wobbly.
14:20Ron Breaker looks on.
14:25Jey heading up the top rope, Seth Rollins.
14:28Big right here.
14:36Jey Uso sitting down.
14:38Finds at least a little bit of stability as Seth freaking Rollins continues to climb.
14:45So high risk here.
14:46One slip, one fall, this match is over.
14:48Jey Uso with a couple of headbutts.
14:50Rollins down.
14:51Wait a second.
14:52And Rollins fell onto the official.
14:54Braun Breaker trying to get involved.
14:56Breaker kicked off.
14:57The official Chad Patton never saw what happened.
15:00Rollins looking to take advantage of this distraction.
15:03From the top rope, Superplex.
15:05Roll through.
15:06Roll through Rollins.
15:07Look at the Falcon Arrow.
15:13Vintage Seth freaking Rollins.
15:17That's straight out of the wise man's playbook.
15:19Stomp didn't get all of it.
15:21Didn't get all the stomp.
15:22Cover now.
15:23Cover the leg.
15:24And a kick out by Jey.
15:25Rollins didn't get the full stomp there.
15:28And it may have cost him.
15:29Jey Uso was able to move his head ever so slightly.
15:33And Breaker's kicked off.
15:38Remember what these guys did to Sami Zayn last week.
15:53The honorary hoose.
15:57What?
15:58You want some more?
16:04And Sami Zayn.
16:06They thought he was coming for the entrance.
16:08Why is Sami ambushed him?
16:09Sami and Braun Breaker.
16:11Sami just came out of the ground.
16:13Breaker's driven into the post.
16:16Rollins now trying to go after Sami and Uso better with a super kick.
16:21And a spear.
16:23Jey gonna go up top.
16:27He said let's end this thing.
16:30Jey top rope.
16:32Splash splash.
16:33To retain.
16:35And Rollins somehow kicked out.
16:39You gotta be kidding me.
16:40Jey Uso can't believe it.
16:43What does he have to do to put Seth Rollins away?
16:46Super kick, spear, splash.
16:53Was how this was supposed to end in Jey Uso's head eye suit.
16:57Sami Zayn had seen enough of Breaker trying to get involved.
17:00Busted up ribs from last week.
17:02Took Breaker out of the equation.
17:05Uso with a splash and a spear.
17:07But the veteran Rollins is still in it.
17:09Sami Zayn getting all of them.
17:20Oh!
17:21A spear by Breaker.
17:24Well, if he didn't have busted ribs, he has them now, Sami Zayn.
17:31It is chaos around ringside.
17:34And Jey now going down to check on his buddy.
17:41He gives himself a little breather.
17:43And Breaker with a spear.
17:45Heyman had the official distracted.
17:47What you didn't see was Breaker spearing Uso on the other side of the ring.
17:52The official Chad Patton never saw it.
17:56Heyman had him distracted.
17:57Stopped by Rollins.
17:59And because of all these damn shenanigans of this coalition, Seth Rollins is going to win the damn World Heavyweight title.
18:12Maybe not, Cole.
18:17Tonight after WrestleMania, this group took out Punk and Reigns.
18:21And CM Punk is back.
18:23Punk is back.
18:24CM Punk is back.
18:26CM Punk is back.
18:27CM Punk just crossed Rollins the world title.
18:31And now there's going to be hell to pay.
18:32CM Punk just crossed Rollins the world title.
18:33And now there's going to be hell to pay.
18:42CM Punk was betrayed in mania by his best friend.
18:48And Rollins and Breaker are scattering.
18:50CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk, CM Punk.
18:52CFO! CFO! CFO! CFO!
