00:00This bout set for one fall is a triple threat match!
00:16Introducing the participants first,
00:18North West Palm Beach, Florida, weighing 235 pounds,
00:22Ted DiBiase!
00:24A third generation superstar, last night his father,
00:28the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
00:33Tonight, Young Ted takes his first step to creating his own legacy.
00:3722 years after his father King made his WrestleMania debut.
00:43Well, Young Ted has quite the hill to climb tonight if you ask me.
00:48Randy Orton has been waiting, chomping at the bit for this match,
00:52and as a matter of fact, I can't wait to see you.
00:58And introducing us from Marietta, Georgia, weighing 223 pounds, Cody Rhodes!
01:07Of course, the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Dusty Rhodes.
01:10We are the future of the WWE, was Rhodes quote a couple of weeks ago.
01:14And Matt, he says the 18 months of verbal tirades, physical abuse,
01:18and temper tantrums at the hands of Randy Orton are over.
01:21Well, Cody Rhodes is the seed of a dream,
01:23and tonight is an opportunity for Cody Rhodes to establish himself as an individual.
01:29And what better place than right here at WrestleMania?
01:33I have voices in my head, they count to me, they understand, they talk to me.
01:49Who's St. Louis deserve weight 245 pounds, Randy Orton!
01:58He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Cowboy Bobble.
02:0218 months ago, Randy Orton formed Legacy.
02:05Second and third generation stars, which had a winning pedigree.
02:09And when they did, including WWE title reigns for Randy Orton.
02:15But King, it's only natural as confidence grew in DiBiase and Rhodes,
02:19that they would want to fly away from the nest as they are doing here tonight.
02:23Why is that only natural?
02:24Why not keep a cohesive, successful unit together?
02:28I don't agree with what Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase have done.
02:32I understand where you're coming from, King, but remember,
02:34the WWE is about individual achievement.
02:37It's about leaving a legacy.
02:39The difference with Randy Orton is that this is his destiny and not his legacy.
02:44The difference with Randy Orton, guys, in this matchup,
02:46he's walking into a two-on-one handicap affair, pretty much,
02:50despite the fact that it's triple threat.
02:53Remember, Rhodes and DiBiase have said,
02:56we don't care which one of us wins this match,
02:59as long as Randy Orton loses.
03:01Triple threat rules.
03:03We'll see all three superstars in the ring at the same time.
03:06It provides for a truly unpredictable environment.
03:10Well, you see, this is a triple threat match.
03:13Every man's supposed to be for himself, but you see,
03:15Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes standing side by side,
03:18it's going to be basically a two-on-one handicap match, if you ask me.
03:21These two young men,
03:23we're going to find out how successful they're going to be
03:25once they're out from under the wings of their mentor,
03:28the man that created legacy, Randy Orton.
03:31First man to gain pinfall or submission will win this triple threat match.
03:35I just think this is a classic case of biting the hand that feeds you.
03:40Randy Orton put these two young men where they are today,
03:43and now they're turning their back on him.
03:46Well, Randy Orton realizing he's in trouble early,
03:50trying to keep the numbers game at bay,
03:53at least in the beginning of this matchup.
03:55DiBiase Rhodes making their first appearances ever in WrestleMania.
03:58Oh, very wise.
03:59Randy Orton almost took DiBiase's head off.
04:03Here for a seventh time.
04:05And Randy Orton eliminates Rhodes early.
04:07Now he goes to work on DiBiase.
04:09Yeah, I think Randy Orton was expecting this.
04:12He's not going to be surprised at this,
04:14any two-on-one attack.
04:16Look out, Randy!
04:17And DiBiase with a nice drop kick underneath the chin.
04:20And DiBiase kicked to the jaw.
04:22And here's where it's dangerous for Randy.
04:24He's on his back.
04:25Two-on-one assault with the hands of DiBiase and Rhodes.
04:29As long as Randy Orton had the upper hand.
04:32Now this is gonna be bad.
04:36Randy Orton has claimed it's every man for himself in this type of matchup.
04:42However, Rhodes and DiBiase have been hell-bent on trying to destroy Randy Orton.
04:48Do you guys see?
04:49Does this remind you of anything?
04:51Yeah, it reminds me of what Randy Orton does to his opponents.
04:54Yeah, these guys are using what they learned from Randy Orton against him now.
04:59As every good student should.
05:01So every good student should turn against their mental.
05:05No, every good student should use what they learned.
05:07Oof.
05:13It resembles what we've seen in recent weeks with DiBiase and Rhodes.
05:17Oh, this could be bad.
05:26Real bad.
05:27The assault continues.
05:33You can hear the disapproval of over 70,000 fans here at WrestleMania.
05:42They just, they don't like what DiBiase and Rhodes are doing.
05:48I mean, this is supposed to be a triple threat match.
05:50It's supposed to be.
05:51Randy Orton, six-time world champion, was trying to fight back.
05:55But again, this is a two-on-one assault.
05:59DiBiase and Rhodes are world-class athletes.
06:05Reloading in the spotlight of their first WrestleMania.
06:11Come on Randy.
06:13Come on Randy.
06:14Come on Randy.
06:18Yeah, what'll happen once Rhodes and DiBiase eliminate Orton?
06:23I think that the youngsters made a mistake letting Randy get back to his feet.
06:27Randy Orton is extremely dangerous.
06:29Well, they've got Orton in a corner, and this is bad.
06:33Oh man.
06:38The Rhodes and DiBiase are eventually going to have to go at each other if they eliminate Orton.
06:43Oh man.
06:46Oh, essentially.
06:48This just oozed.
06:50One of the bodies of those men in recent months.
06:53And Randy Orton trying to fight back.
06:57Orton desperately.
07:02Now he turns on DiBiase.
07:05And DiBiase to the clothesline.
07:07Right.
07:08Orton trying to somehow muster some offense.
07:11And the numbers game caught him.
07:12Caught up with him again.
07:13Smart.
07:14Smart move by DiBiase.
07:15He followed, uh, followed Randy Orton right into those ropes.
07:18He caught Randy turning around with a huge clothesline.
07:26Oh!
07:27High and low.
07:28Wow.
07:30Okay, DiBiase and Rhodes are doing what they said they were going to do.
07:34Punish Randy Orton.
07:36It's at a very disturbing pace as well.
07:39Ooh!
07:40Methodical.
07:43Padless knee to the skull.
07:47Now look at DiBiase goes for the cover!
07:49Puts the leg!
07:50And now Rhodes...
07:51Suddenly we realize these guys aren't on the same page.
08:01Some dissension in the ranks.
08:04Which one of them said we don't care who wins between the two of us?
08:07They've both been saying it for weeks.
08:09Cody Rhodes going for the Alabama slam and he connects to Orton.
08:12This could be over.
08:13Rhodes looks to pin Randy Orton.
08:15Hooks the leg.
08:16And this time it's DiBiase's turn to break up the near fall.
08:19Oh!
08:24Here we go!
08:26The meltdown...
08:29is beginning.
08:30Yeah!
08:31The implosion seems to be complete.
08:33Well, it was just a matter of time.
08:35Now we have a triple threat match.
08:37This works in the favor of Randy Orton.
08:43Rhodes and DiBiase beating the heck out of each other.
08:45Orton buys himself some time.
08:47Well, R and R over there.
08:49Perhaps a future WrestleMania main event right here.
08:51Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.
08:54Uh-oh.
08:55I think Rhodes realized there that Randy Orton was creeping back to his feet.
09:02Common enemy yet again.
09:04Whoa!
09:06Cody Rhodes runs into the clothesline.
09:08And suddenly, here comes Orton.
09:10Orton is...
09:11Orton is...
09:16The Mad Dog power slam.
09:18What does the Viper have left?
09:20Maybe an RKO?
09:21The WWE's Apex Predator is on the hut.
09:23The Viper always has an RKO lurking.
09:24Whoa!
09:25Look at this!
09:26Ooh!
09:27Backbreaker!
09:28Watch it!
09:29And DiBiase.
09:30Oh!
09:31DiBiase just lying and wait outside the rink sensing that Orton was going to win.
09:33Oh!
09:34Oh!
09:35Oh!
09:36Oh!
09:37Oh!
09:38Oh!

10:02Oh!
10:03And Rhodes takes out DiBiase.
10:04Well, that's Randy Orton's WrestleMania experience always knowing what's going on around the rings
10:10at all times.
10:11Triple-threat rules first man to gain pin fall or submission will win here tonight at WrestleMania.
10:22DiBiase trying desperately to get back in this.
10:31Okay, we've seen this.
10:36Okay, we've seen this many times.
10:39Many superstars have fell victim to...
10:43But I don't believe you've ever seen this.
10:46You're going to be kidding me.
10:49A double-dating team for Martin.
10:52Orton lashes out at his former pupils.
10:59You see the look on Orton's face.
11:02It's like trance-like.
11:04He's in another place right now.
11:07The demented, twisted mind of Randy Orton has come to life.
11:13The Viper is coiled.
11:19Don't turn around, Cody Rhodes.
11:20You're not going to like the view.
11:22Wait a minute, something's happening here.
11:25Wait a minute, something's happening here.
11:33What now?
11:33Oh, my gosh.
11:55Oh, my gosh.
11:55Oh, my gosh.
11:57Oh, my gosh.
11:59Oh, my gosh.
12:00He'll putts.
12:02Orton putts Cody Rhodes.

12:08From behind, DiBiase.
12:10Look at him, look at him.
12:11Take advantage.

12:14No.
12:16Orton counters.

12:171, 2, 3, 2, 1.
12:21Orton pins the man who cost him the WWE title.
12:25Last one in the Chamber.
12:28Oh, we're in this match.
12:30Randy Orton!
12:33And Randy Orton brought out the big weapon, the punt,
12:38to thwart the numbers game of Legacy.
12:41Yeah, but that's, uh...
12:46That was a little disturbing.
12:55Matt, Randy Orton did what he had to do to win.
12:58Again, the WrestleMania experience of Randy Orton comes into play.
13:02When the odds were seemingly against the Viper, Randy Orton rises above.
