00:00:00Together.
00:00:30Together.
00:01:00Who's coming for him?
00:01:02L.A. Knight!
00:01:04The megastar has survived various attacks from that group.
00:01:08Now Knight and Rollins settle it in the ring.
00:01:12Plus, the Viper is ready to strike.
00:01:16You see him, Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.
00:01:21McIntyre's taking aim at the Hall of Famer.
00:01:25And there he is with Jelly Roll.
00:01:28Randy's been battling the very best, but now a long-time adversary has returned in Drew McIntyre for this Showcase event.
00:01:38Meanwhile, a family feud goes to the next level.
00:01:43Solo Sokoa, the United States Champion.
00:01:46He's put together what he calls the MFTs by his side.
00:01:49But that family tree includes an older brother who refuses to join in.
00:01:54Jimmy Uso is out to claim his first singles title in his long WWE career.
00:02:00Then there's the World Heavyweight Championship main event.
00:02:04Gunther crossed the line, made things personal here in Atlanta.
00:02:08And now he has to defend his title.
00:02:12Against Georgia's Barrios!
00:02:14Hometown legend!

00:07:31Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by a four-time Grammy-nominated country artist, Jelly Roll, from St. Louis, Missouri, weaning at 280 pounds, the Viper, Randy Orton!
00:07:48Randy Orton and Jelly Roll bonding last night on Friday Night Smackdown.
00:07:58We'll show you what happened in just a little bit, but Randy Orton kicking us off tonight in front of nearly 12,000 in Atlanta for Saturday night's main event.
00:08:08I'll see you next time.
00:08:10They talk to me.
00:08:12They talk to me.
00:08:14They talk to me.
00:08:18They tell me they get out of the tune.
00:08:21They show me things I'll take you.
00:08:24They talk to me.
00:08:26They talk to me.
00:08:28They talk to me.
00:08:44They talk to me.
00:08:48I am so blind, I am so blind, I am so blind, I am so blind, I am so blind, I am blind,
00:09:01my hands they can't believe me, they accept they don't me, they don't me!
00:09:10They're dying, they're dying
00:09:13They're dying, they're dying
00:09:15They're dying
00:09:17They're dying
00:09:19They're dying, they're dying
00:09:22They're dying, they're dying
00:09:25They're dying
00:09:26By choosing a return
00:09:29All desired to keep you safe
00:09:32But what was that?
00:10:36Let's take it back to last night on SmackDown.
00:10:39Jelly Roll was performing.
00:10:44The WWE doesn't need a Jelly Roll.
00:10:52The WWE needs a Logan Paul.
00:10:55Everybody back there from top to bottom does everything that they can do to make sure that Logan Paul loses.
00:11:03And then McIntyre with an ambush weight and a Claymore.
00:11:07And Logan Paul went on loan.
00:11:09Seizing the opportunity to pick the bones until Jelly Roll got involved in an irate.
00:11:15Logan Paul.
00:11:17Tracing Jelly Roll set right afterwards.
00:11:20Bowing vengeance.
00:11:22You are looking at the man who claims he has evolved over the past decade and a half here in WWE.
00:11:29None other than the Scottish warrior Drew McIntyre.
00:11:33He's been chastising Randy Orton for a couple of weeks now.
00:11:38Claiming that Randy could not pull the trigger against Cody Rhodes in their big matchup.
00:11:44That Randy Orton has lost his killer instinct.
00:11:48It was certainly an element of true to what Drew McIntyre said.
00:11:53And it clearly hit a raw nerve with Randy Orton who probably RKO'd McIntyre one week ago.
00:12:00Hence McIntyre's retort with last night's Claymore.
00:12:04One for one now.
00:12:05For the renewal of a great all-time rivalry here tonight with McIntyre and Randy Orton.
00:12:10Their first match one-on-one was back in 2011.
00:12:14McIntyre versus Orton.
00:12:15In 2020, they had an unbelievable rivalry.
00:12:21They consisted of a SummerSlam match and an ambulance match.
00:12:26And Randy Orton, a hell in a cell.
00:12:29And McIntyre winning a no-disqualification and no countout.
00:12:32Tremendous history between these two.
00:12:33Way two men you know extremely well.
00:12:35Yeah, and they more importantly know each other extremely well.
00:12:39They're acutely aware of how dangerous their opponent is this evening.
00:12:43McIntyre sent over the top rope.
00:12:46And now Randy Orton, the Viper, staring down Logan Paul.
00:12:51And Orton now went for that classic back suplex to McIntyre.
00:12:57So easy against most opponents.
00:12:59And McIntyre going to deliver Orton's own move to him on the top of our announce table.
00:13:05And that's that previously dead power back.
00:13:08And Orton once again taking the brunt of the punishment in the early goings here.
00:13:12Another one to Orton.
00:13:14Already favoring his back.
00:13:16McIntyre's dominating early here on NBC.
00:13:19We are back on Saturday night's main event.
00:13:24Nearly 12,000 in attendance tonight.
00:13:26State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia.
00:13:29Kicking off the night with a renewal of a great rivalry.
00:13:31Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre.
00:13:33Randy Orton starting to fight back in this match.
00:13:36But McIntyre sending Randy into the corner.
00:13:38And again, the lower back has been the target.
00:13:40Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:41And Logan Paul clearly looking on, enjoying what he's seeing.
00:13:44Jelly roll.
00:13:45Unless so, you'll remember at Night of Champions, Cody Rhodes against Randy Orton.
00:13:49That superplex in the early goings, tweaked the lower back of the Viper.
00:13:53We saw it.
00:13:54The world saw it.
00:13:55I guarantee you Drew McIntyre saw it too.
00:13:58Against Randy Orton, what happened to you?
00:14:02And McIntyre questioning what has happened to Randy Orton.
00:14:05We mentioned earlier McIntyre questioning whether or not Randy had the killer instinct anymore.
00:14:10When he wouldn't go kill the trigger against Cody Rhodes.
00:14:13And those eyes of the Viper just narrowed somewhat.
00:14:17And Randy exploded out of the corner with a clothesline.
00:14:20And here comes the WWE's Apex Predator.
00:14:23Well, really a good idea to start coding the Viper.
00:14:26But nice move there from McIntyre.
00:14:29Putting the break zone.
00:14:30The Glasgow kiss by McIntyre.
00:14:32Launched out to the apron.
00:14:35And now Drew heading up to the top rope.
00:14:38Scottish Warrior has to roll through.
00:14:40Power slam by Randy.
00:14:41He got outwitted the first time, but he connected that time.
00:14:47Yeah, both men going counter for counter.
00:14:49Move for move here.
00:14:51Trying to second guess their opponent the entire time.
00:14:53And wait up.
00:14:54It might be payback time.
00:14:55And now it's Randy Orton to McIntyre.
00:14:57And Randy Orton going to make McIntyre pay a second time.
00:15:06And I don't believe the Viper's done yet.
00:15:09A third time.
00:15:11McIntyre on the announce table.
00:15:13And now Randy Orton staring down Logan Paul.
00:15:16And Logan is caught between Orton and Jelly Roll.
00:15:18Logan took a fair few cheap shots at Randy Orton last night.
00:15:23Oh, and right to the throat.
00:15:25McIntyre using the distraction by Logan Paul to his advantage.
00:15:33Just goes to show you how important a corner man can be in this game.
00:15:37Orton.
00:15:41Think it's Randy Orton.
00:15:43That's raping DDT.
00:15:45And Randy's taking over.
00:15:57The Viper's ready to strike.
00:15:59And Logan Paul pausing the distraction.
00:16:08Well, how vital.
00:16:10McIntyre with a Claymore to Randy Orton.
00:16:13Hook of the leg.
00:16:15Randy able to get his foot on the bottom rope before a count of three.
00:16:19Referee Sean Bennett in perfect position as we take another look.
00:16:23Just utter devastation from McIntyre.
00:16:25The fix was in.
00:16:26The distraction from Logan Paul.
00:16:27A flush Claymore.
00:16:29But a veteran Viper knowing exactly where he was.
00:16:33And we're having a showdown now.
00:16:35Jelly Roll and Logan Paul.
00:16:38You're in the wrong arena, buddy.
00:16:40And I told you that yesterday.
00:16:42And I'm going to tell you again.
00:16:43You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:45You're in the wrong arena.
00:16:47Oh, and what, brother?
00:16:48I'm pushing you there.
00:16:50Logan Paul dropped by Jelly Roll.
00:16:53And Jelly Roll in Paul's face as Paul tries to retreat.
00:16:57And Al McIntyre barking at the country music superstar.
00:17:04You're going to fall to my business.
00:17:06You want to fight?
00:17:07You get in here and fight me.
00:17:09You want to fight?
00:17:10Fight you, Mike.
00:17:11I dare you.
00:17:13Don't try much.
00:17:14I'm going to tell you.
00:17:14I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17I'm going to tell you.
00:17:17I'm going to tell you.
00:17:18That's what I thought.
00:17:19Nothing.
00:17:21Nothing.
00:17:22Smart move.
00:17:23Jelly Roll.
00:17:24Keep the hell out of now.
00:17:25And Al McIntyre.
00:17:25Know your limits.
00:17:26McIntyre.
00:17:27And Randy Orton.
00:17:28And RKO out of nowhere by Orton.
00:17:31Here's the cover.
00:17:33Orton with the win.
00:17:38Here is your winner.
00:17:40Randy Orton with an RKO out of nowhere.
00:17:51Knocks off McIntyre.
00:17:54Back to the issue with Jelly Roll and Logan Paul here at ringside.
00:17:59Well, that was a major distraction from the outside from Jelly Roll.
00:18:03He needs to stick to music.
00:18:04And now, Logan Paul, lucky punch to the jaw of Randy Orton.
00:18:10And now, Logan Paul unloading on Orton.
00:18:14Paul with that big right hand connecting.
00:18:25Jelly Roll has seen it up.
00:18:28Jelly Roll is not a fighter.
00:18:31But he's not going to put up with his friend being picked up here tonight.
00:18:37And now Jelly Roll swinging Paul across the ring.
00:18:45And Jelly Roll with a right hand.
00:18:47Jelly with a right hand.
00:18:49Paul down.
00:18:50Paul is down.
00:18:51And Paul's going to get here tonight.
00:19:00Jelly Roll with a right hand.
00:19:02Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly.
00:19:11No!
00:19:12A playmore by McIntyre to Jelly Roll as he was tucking on a falling Randy Orton.
00:19:18If you think what's going to happen to you, you step into my ring, you've become a target.
00:19:24You're going to remember this night.
00:19:26You're struggling through McIntyre.
00:19:28What the hell are you thinking?
00:19:29He got it on my ball.
00:19:31That is how you think.
00:19:32Well, if you ask me, that is exactly what Jelly Roll deserves.
00:19:36Listen, Cole, I play a little key tower on my off day.
00:19:38It doesn't mean I can pack out the honky tonks.
00:19:41Stick to your leg, Jelly Roll.
00:19:44You are not a fighter.
00:19:45Well, at the end of the day, Wade, the match was over.
00:19:49Randy Orton was getting beaten up by Logan Paul.
00:19:53And all what Jelly Roll did was come to the aid of his friend.
00:19:56And he suffered a claymore at the hands of McIntyre.
00:19:59And this is a serious situation here.
00:20:01He needs some medical help.
00:20:03If you're not an active competitor, you should not be getting in the ring.
00:20:07Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre.
00:20:09And yes, Logan Paul, active competitors, license, credential, Jelly Roll is a musician.
00:20:17Stay out on the ring.
00:20:18Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:20:29Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got into it at ringside.
00:20:32And Jelly Roll had enough.
00:20:34And I can't quite blame him here.
00:20:36And that might be acceptable, but then the distraction to Drew McIntyre was pivotal in this match
00:20:44because Drew was caught napping.
00:20:46And that RKO out of nowhere caught McIntyre to sleep for good in this one.
00:20:52Yeah, that Randy Orton, well, he would be attacked by not only the Logan Paul,
00:20:56the sneak attack with that titanium-loaded right hand dropping Randy Orton.
00:21:00And as Logan Paul teed off on a defensive sort, Jelly Roll had had enough.
00:21:05Yeah, and it's dangerous territory when you step in this ring.
00:21:08A beautiful right hook from Jelly Roll dropping the Maverick.
00:21:12But when you get in the ring, bad things happen.
00:21:15And the sweetest Claymore of all time took the musical superstar down.
00:21:21What did you think was going to happen to you?
00:21:24You step into my ring, you've become a target.
00:21:27The idea of what you've just done.
00:21:29Make it make sense.
00:21:30What do you do about your favorites?
00:21:31Make it make sense.
00:21:32You both play favorites.
00:21:33You both play favorites.
00:21:34You understand?
00:21:35No, he's not going to be a talent.
00:21:38He's not going to be a talent.
00:21:39He's not going to be a talent.
00:21:39He's not going to be a talent.
00:21:42He's not going to be a talent.
00:21:43He's not going to be a talent.
00:21:45More on that in a moment, but tonight the Laverne family has been upgraded ringside seats
00:21:50and decked out with swag, courtesy of Jimmy John.
00:21:53Right, Jimmy John's new toasted sandwiches today.
00:21:57Well, you just saw an irate Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
00:22:02I think if we know the history of Drew McIntyre, he is not going to let that one lie.
00:22:06Furious right now, and there may be consequences for Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
00:22:10Well, ladies and gentlemen, quite the weekend here in Atlanta for WWE, and it continues tomorrow
00:22:15night at the all-women's premium live event, Evolution, where Io Scott, the women's world champion,
00:22:21will defend the title in the main event against a woman she has never lost to.
00:22:26Mommy, Brea Ripley, is here live tonight with an opportunity to win the women's world title tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:22:35Also here tonight, the queen of the ring, who already has a title opportunity for the WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
00:22:46Jade Cargill is here tomorrow night.
00:22:49No hold bar versus Naomi at Evolution.
00:22:53What a reaction to the queen.
00:22:56Oh, my!
00:22:57Wait a minute!
00:22:59Oh, wow!
00:23:01Well, it's been on-site for months now, and Naomi simply will not let this rivalry go.
00:23:08Getting some cheap shots ahead of tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:23:12Well, it was Naomi who attacked Cargill months and months ago, costing Cargill a number of months of her career.
00:23:18And now, once again, blindsiding and sneak attacking Jade Cargill.
00:23:22And finally, some authorities and referees and officials down here to try to break things up between these two.
00:23:28Oh, no, not yet!
00:23:30The temperature is rising between these two, and it's come unglued completely.
00:23:35Cargill with Naomi now, and Naomi's set right over on an announce table onto the floor!
00:23:40Oh!
00:23:42Jade Cargill is irate!
00:23:45And in 24 hours, these two go no holds barred!
00:23:49Oh, man!
00:23:50Former best friends!
00:23:51Now, the absolute worst of enemies!
00:23:55There may be bloodshed tomorrow night at Evolution!
00:24:02And Naomi now!
00:24:04Oh!
00:24:05Off the announce table!
00:24:07Take it out, Cargill!
00:24:08Oh, my God!
00:24:10We need some more security!
00:24:11This is simply not enough!
00:24:13Absolute chaos tonight!
00:24:15And the thing is, Wade, tomorrow, this will all be legal!
00:24:18These two women can do whatever the hell they want to each other!
00:24:22Well, let's be honest, they're doing exactly that right now!
00:24:25Perhaps, finally, a little separation!
00:24:28And now Naomi, once again, up on our table, staring back at Naomi, Jade, that's enough!
00:24:39Now, I had a feeling that you two couldn't wait until tomorrow night, so speaking of tomorrow
00:24:46night, I've made a little arrangement.
00:24:50Now, I was going to discuss this with you two before I made the announcement in my office,
00:24:54like professionals, but seeing as you two want to jump the gun, here it is.
00:24:58Allow me to introduce to you someone who can maintain order in your no-holds-barred match tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:25:07Say hello to your special guest referee.
00:25:11Oh, yeah!
00:25:17Oh, the big three will be back together tomorrow at Evolution!
00:25:23Bianca Belair wants the best of friends to Jade and, of course, Naomi.
00:25:33Will be the special guest referee for this no-holds-barred match.
00:25:39Why do the loyalties of the EST lie these days, as barely said a word to Jade Cargill in the past couple of months?
00:25:49And the same can be said for Naomi!
00:25:53You gotta wonder what is going through Naomi's mind, as that woman, Bianca Belair, is going to be a special guest referee
00:26:01tomorrow night at Evolution.
00:26:05Well, tonight is also a celebration of the last match of Goldberg.
00:26:09Many of his long-time friends are here tonight, including none other than Doug Dillinger.
00:26:15Doug, a part of the security detail.
00:26:17The man, the WCW head of security, that walked Goldberg to the ring each and every night for those iconic entrances.
00:26:25Also here tonight in the Hall of Famer, Diamond Dallas Page.
00:26:29He, of course, battled Goldberg in 1998 at Halloween Havoc, Fall Brawl in 1999.
00:26:37Two of the great matches between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg.
00:26:42DDP here tonight to celebrate.
00:26:46Well, it has been a crazy night already.
00:26:48Our desk has been rearranged three times, and now it's an absolute state.
00:26:51But I am so fired up to be here to see the final ever match of Goldberg.
00:26:56The world is watching.
00:26:57And it's going to be due.
00:26:58A lot of interviews this week Goldberg has conducted around the United States.
00:27:02He did a particular run with CBS News where he talked about the toll that his career has taken on his body.
00:27:07He says he's got a bad knee, which makes it hard to plant when he delivers the spear.
00:27:11He's got a jacked-up shoulder that makes the jackhammer difficult to deliver.
00:27:14But Goldberg said this.
00:27:17I believe that my, and this is his words, quote,
00:27:20old body has one more night left in it to recreate the magic from many years ago.
00:27:27We have never seen a man quite like this.
00:27:37Who can stop him?
00:27:39And Bill Goldberg remains unbeaten.
00:27:42Who's next?
00:27:43What another mark in the win column.
00:27:4756-0.
00:27:4977.
00:27:51Triple digits.
00:27:52100-0.
00:27:55More amazing by the victory.
00:27:57The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the world championship.
00:28:04And for tonight, one last time.
00:28:15Can Goldberg do it again?
00:28:17Can he win the world heavyweight championship?
00:28:20It is adopted hometown of Atlanta.
00:28:23Or will Gunther send Goldberg out on his terms?
00:28:27We find out in our main event tonight.
00:28:32Ooh, yeah!
00:28:33The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the United States Championship!
00:28:55Introducing first, the challenger, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at 261 pounds,
00:29:05Jimmy Uso!
00:29:09Jimmy Uso, with an opportunity to win his first singles championship at WWE!
00:29:15But he's got to beat his brother to do it.
00:29:18It's next!
00:29:18Yeah!
00:29:20Yeah!
00:29:20Yeah!
00:29:20Yeah!

00:29:22Yeah!
00:29:23Yeah!
00:29:23Yeah!
00:29:23Yeah!
00:29:24Yeah!
00:29:24Yeah!
00:29:25I'm the B-E-S-T, the prodigy!
00:29:41Woo!
00:29:42This storm is coming.
00:29:43Greatness is my destiny.
00:29:46I'm number one.
00:29:46Jimmy John!
00:29:47You're the big part!
00:29:50Presented by Jimmy John's.
00:29:52By Jimmy John's new toasted sandwich.
00:29:55And Jimmy Uso, looking to win his first singles championship in WWE.
00:29:56And what just so happens to be his little brother's first ever defense of a singles championship.
00:30:12A real family affair here.
00:30:13His opponent being accompanied by M.F.T.
00:30:14From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the United States Champion, Solo Sankoa!
00:30:30You know, Wade, many believe that Jimmy Uso has the momentum coming into this matchup after what happened last night on Friday Night SmackDown.
00:30:48And Jimmy, teaming with L.A.
00:30:49And Jimmy, teaming with L.A. Night against Solo Sankoa and J.C.
00:30:51Mateo of the M.F.T.s that attacked Max.
00:30:53And with Knife fully in control, things were looking good until the untimely arrival of one Oracle, Paul Heyman.
00:31:02Appeared at ringside.
00:31:03Appeared at ringside.
00:31:04A major distraction.
00:31:05And that opened the door for the massive Talat Tonga to completely wipe the Megastar out.
00:31:11Amidst the chaos, though, Big Jim was ready.
00:31:14He rolled up Solo Sankoa, scored the dub while the M.F.T.s gave chase.
00:31:19Interesting stories in this matchup tonight.
00:31:22First for Solo Sankoa, Wade.
00:31:24He was extremely embarrassed last night by losing to Jimmy Uso in this tag team matchup.
00:31:30But when you look at Jimmy Uso, you look at this as a suicide mission as he stares across the ring at the entire group of M.F.T.
00:31:40It's really been two weeks in a row now.
00:31:42Jimmy has scored a tag victory over Solo Sankoa on SmackDown.
00:31:48An irate Solo Sankoa now promising some swift vengeance and consequences for his big brother.
00:31:55And you're right.
00:31:56I simply don't see how in this situation with the ring surrounded by the M.F.T.s, Jimmy Uso can pull off another miraculous victory.
00:32:07It is for the United States Championship.
00:32:10Solo Sankoa winning the title from Jacob Fatu back at Night of Champions thanks to the arrival of Talatonga.
00:32:17The latest member of Solo Sankoa's, quote, family.
00:32:21What utter devastation Talatonga has helped enact on behalf of the M.F.T.s completely wiping out Jacob Fatu last week.
00:32:30It is for the Uso.
00:32:41You're not coming back.
00:32:43Do you understand me?
00:32:45You want me?
00:32:46What do you want to do?
00:32:47Uso!
00:32:4915 years in wwe only one time has jimmy uso had an opportunity to singles title and that was in a
00:32:56multi-man match this is his first ever one-on-one matchup for a singles championship in wwe yeah you
00:33:02told me that stat earlier i simply couldn't believe it underappreciated underrated but uber
00:33:09talented big jimmy uso needs to put the namesayers away tonight by scoring what feels like an
00:33:16impossible victory and grabbing gold and a suicide dive by jimmy uso down goes solo that was an ugly
00:33:23landing for jimmy uso in the process and staring up now at three mfts stalking their prey it got
00:33:31uglier by the second yeah jimmy wisely back into the ring and again a very irate solo sokoa
00:33:38you mentioned earlier the embarrassment he suffered last night after being pinned by jimmy uso
00:33:46united states championship prestigious title the wcw version of course held by goldberg a number of
00:33:54times in his career you know the past couple of weeks for solo sokoa oh jimmy it has been a
00:34:01re-accumulation of power here with his new army and he expects everything to go his way and it
00:34:08simply hasn't been the case because of big jim oh and solo sokoa catching jimmy up oh
00:34:13caught him spinning solo by sokoa covering a quick kick out by jimmy uso yeah that's surprising
00:34:19most guys stay down perhaps for the three count of that particular move but big jim really fired up
00:34:25tonight yeah and it's early on in the match and jimmy hasn't uh taken that quite amount of a lot of
00:34:30punishment yet now solo blocked by uso delivers the right hand i'll tell you right now you always
00:34:36fight a little tougher against your own brother i'll say that as a guy with an older brother myself
00:34:41oh and a right hand by solo drops jimmy beautiful uppercut right to the jaw perfect time
00:34:48behind the officials back
00:34:52the united states champion solo sokoa has taken over this matchup against his brother jimmy uso on
00:35:06saturday night's main event i tell you i should bring the coal mine back because it has been insane
00:35:12out here at the announce table throughout the first portion of the show it's been nuts and michael
00:35:16coles voice has gone a little higher there's a reason for that we'll show you in a second as
00:35:21solo sokoa is about to do major damage to the spine of big jim or is it yeah but big jim able to
00:35:28counter as these two battle on the apron and solo sokoa with the right hand jimmy uso trying to stay
00:35:33in this fight united states champion oh no spine first to the post it's more than one way to
00:35:41and jimmy with a kick we simply cannot keep big jim down and that'll allow the
00:35:47number one contender in the united states championship to maybe rally looking for a german
00:35:52suplex perhaps on the apron not a move usually in the playbook
00:35:57into the apron solo sokoa landed on the back of his head oh god let's take another look at that
00:36:07big jim not known for his german suplex arsenal but when his little bro his motated rival pulling out
00:36:14all the stops in pursuit of the united states championship well wade you know how difficult it
00:36:19is to get a title opportunity into your career here in wwe when you have when you have to capitalize and
00:36:25jimmy realizes that let's talk about difficult 15 years in the making finally you've got one it might be
00:36:30another 15 before you get another make it count big jim jimmy with a cross body lateral press he's
00:36:36going to hook the leg so near fall for jimmy uso referee daphne lashon right there how frustrating
00:36:44is that for big jim knowing how close he was to scoring his first slice of singles gold a millisecond
00:36:51away from victory and let's not forget the mfts mateo calatonga on the low out here at ringside looking
00:37:02on looking on menacingly lurking with intent oh it back in and on up your calatonga has already been
00:37:10involved in this one once but now big jim going skyward for the usos flash to win the championship
00:37:19solo at two another near fall i'll tell you what say whatever you want about solo secola this man
00:37:27is a street fighting champion of the islands and he is quite simply double top you might not like his
00:37:34methodology you might not like who he hangs out with but you have to respect the durability in that ring
00:37:42and now jimmy uso perhaps lining up for the kill here to put his younger brother solo secola away
00:37:49and take the united states championship goal solo looking completely defenseless here wobbled rock
00:37:55and right for the time caught him with a big kick and drives jimmy back and there's the spinning solo
00:38:02with authority by secola what a championship level turnaround for solo secola who's looking to
00:38:09finish the job now and the samoan spike jimmy ducks underneath big kick to the face
00:38:13and another one and now jimmy looking to go up top again solo secola completely glassy-eyed the body isn't cooperating
00:38:25jimmy heading up top jimmy jimmy heading up top solo
00:38:31going out of harm's way up out of the way by two of his mfts and jimmy though oh
00:38:39cross me up the top take it out everybody
00:38:43usso in the win three men down
00:38:51this body but crucially the body is outside the ring vital seconds being lost here for jimmy
00:39:12usso and now tala tanga went for the big boot he's gonna run into a super kick by
00:39:18jimmy and the disqualification does not help jimmy usso at all here and another big punt down goes
00:39:25tala tanga solo secola takes advantage tanga helping him out solo steals it
00:39:30here's your winner and still the united states champion solo secola and now that monstrous tala tanga
00:39:45who cost jimmy also the match now a salty big jim
00:39:51solo secola retains the goal what a master stroke what a master plan but perhaps
00:39:58the best plan at all is having the mfts in your corner yeah pack of rabbit aidas
00:40:06mateo and kongaloa i mean this squad might be invincible at this point just when
00:40:14everybody wrote off solo secola back to the top in a big way
00:40:20and the samoan spike to his older brother jimmy it wasn't enough to win the match
00:40:31solo's been begging jimmy to re-join the family rejoin the group for the longest time
00:40:37oh
00:40:40it's black the samoan werewolf is back jacob fatu
00:40:48taken out a couple of weeks ago by the mfts who powerbonded through our announce table
00:40:54and now fatu to mateo and jacob fatu still not over the fact he lost the united states championship
00:41:03thanks to these mfts jacob is out here all gas and no brakes about the dog walks and fools and that's
00:41:12the spot who is doing and now the massive color conga yes yes
00:41:33conga in the ring face to face look at how he towers over jacob fatu
00:41:39oh my god a shade under seven feet tall
00:41:44and jacob fatu not backing down he's gonna unload on talataga
00:41:49samoa werewolf has no clue but sometimes you simply aren't given an option
00:42:02and taga though set over the top rope by jacob
00:42:06werewolf's gonna fly with a suicide dive
00:42:18jacob fatu's war with the mfts has just begun wade
00:42:24oh my god that was insanity personified jacob fatu living dangerously swinging for the fences but if we
00:42:34know solo sokoa and the mfts there may well be some consequences going forward for the samoan
00:42:41well you know tonight the final match in the great career of goldberg it's been an emotional couple of
00:42:46weeks mentally for goldberg of course he lost his father-in-law a couple of weeks ago as he looks to
00:42:51focus on the match tonight also the terrible flooding in the state of texas which occurred
00:42:56just down the road from the town that me and goldberg live in both of us had friends and
00:43:00family members who were involved in that tragedy uh goldberg trying to put that out of his mind
00:43:05tonight he told his son gage that these moments he tries to react to and tries to channel those
00:43:10emotions into what he can do in the ring it's much like the shock he had when he went from wcw to wwe

00:46:48goldberg in a steel cage on nitro of course rick came with goldberg before and also a handful of
00:46:54singles matches with the icon goldberg in the main event tonight two of the baddest
00:47:00goldberg in the history of this industry
00:47:15oh
00:47:23oh
00:47:30the following contest is scheduled for one fall making it with the ring being accompanied by
00:47:44the wwe hall of famer the oracle paul hayman from stephenport iowa weighing in 225 pounds he is the
00:47:5620 25 mr money in the bank jack fricken rollins
00:48:04let's not lose sight of the fact that paul hayman is of course carrying the money in the bank briefcase
00:48:15inside is a contract that seth rollins can cash in at any place at any time for a world championship
00:48:21opportunity knowing that gunther and goldberg go added in our main event in moments here on saturday
00:48:27night's main event could tonight be the night a briefcase that in the right hands is as good
00:48:36as gold and i would argue that in the hands of the oracle paul hayman those are exactly the
00:48:43circumstances by which that gets converted to gold in the blink of an eye keep your eyes peeled
00:48:57and here's a cone from los angeles california weaning a 240 pound
00:49:08al a night it's been a tumultuous week for la night and seth rollins this past monday night on raw
00:49:17our main event seth rollins and penta rollins with a stop and the win over penta and then it was a hit and
00:49:24run attack by la night who would deliver a bft to rollins and then escape before bronson and braun
00:49:33could get to it and then last night on friday night smackdown a different case this was the megastar
00:49:40post victory open to abuse and attack from two members of that power trio braun breaker
00:49:48and bronson reid you question just where the health of the megastar is right now
00:49:5324 hours removed from that particular attack and no tape on the ribs but you have to believe that
00:50:00midsection of la night is smarting here tonight for la night a massive opportunity against mr money
00:50:07in the bank knight said quote i want your dignity i want justice to be honest i just want to hurt you
00:50:13this all began back uh the night before money in the bank last month
00:50:20rollins and company targeted his opponents in that match including la night and wage since that moment
00:50:25la night has not forgotten well he's not forgotten he was also taken out of the king of the ring
00:50:30tournament thanks to attacks from seth rollins and crew so seth rollins and his men have really
00:50:37hamstrung the career of la night in recent months and he's not going to let that lie two-time united
00:50:43states champion la night battling the five-time world champion seth rollins oh it was a shot to the
00:50:50gut there registered a little too hard oh and a high elbow perhaps a little sign of that attack from last
00:50:56night coming to the four early here and now la night again those ribs just collapsing going for that
00:51:02falcon arrow or suplex and wait a second looking for a pedigree and la night for the bft blocked by
00:51:09seth rollins and while it's now launched outside the ring to the floor and argue beating seth freaking
00:51:14rollins when you're not at 100 percent oh may not actually be possible but blocking out that pain
00:51:22right now apparently is the megastar tapping into that kevorka that is running wild in this arena
00:51:28rollins bounced off our announce table which has become a playground for our superstars here tonight
00:51:39and i don't think he's done yet rollins bounced right into our announce table yeah not quite
00:51:44enough damage was done to the announce table apparently let's finish the job why don't we
00:51:49and now la night clothesline and hit rollins hard you could hear that bump la night in control
00:51:57in peacock the body scissors applied by seth rollins here live in atlanta nearly 12 000 on hand for this
00:52:06match between rollins and la night seth taking control yeah and i don't understand the megastar's
00:52:11behavior of late i've sung his praises from the very beginning but all the kevorka in the world cannot
00:52:17explain why la night is dicing with death taking on solo sokoa's mfts on smackdown and seth rollins
00:52:25power trio on raw simultaneously i mean i can't credit it might not be a wise thing to do but you
00:52:31gotta praise him for having the bravery to do it bravery is one thing how much of a glutton for
00:52:37punishment can one man be everyone has their limits even mega stars and we may well have found that limit
00:52:43tonight rollins oh and a knee right to the midsection great strategy by the architect seth rollins and
00:52:50the visionary now headed up to the top rope looking to put la night away cross flash to the injured
00:52:55midsection and ribs rollins for the wind hook to the leg and a kick out and what was it la night
00:53:00said it was a quote from you i want to hurt you tonight seth rollins well that has done a complete
00:53:06180 it is the mega star who is in severe danger here tonight thanks to this abuse from seth freaking
00:53:13rollins
00:53:21wwe fans here chenning la night as rollins looks to quiet the masses chance can help chance can pull
00:53:32you through but at the end of the day how would you they're still singing my song anybody ever chance
00:53:37no they're trying for your opponents that's why i kept losing my song oh and la night blocked it right
00:53:45now night trying to fight back perhaps on adrenaline alone block the right and is now blocking out the
00:53:50clear pain in that midsection but it's somehow it's working tapping into that frenzy in this arena
00:53:56oh once again one shot and down is the mega star in la night with a close line and out night looking to rally
00:54:07oh and a neckbreaker oh what a flurry here from la night just went ddt he was looking written off as good as new
00:54:17oh and carl whose game is this
00:54:28yeah elbow delivered night cover
00:54:34and rollins kicks it too and this just exemplifies the abilities of the absolute top superstars in the game
00:54:41blocking out that pain and turning this one on a sixpence taking full control of the match almost
00:54:48cutting away the visionary seth freaking rollins
00:54:53what else does la night have in store here and if you're rollins a lot of pressure
00:54:58you get ill afford a loss with all the momentum you're trying to build with this new group
00:55:02breaker and reed and heyman and rollins look at the money in the bank briefcase you've got the oracle
00:55:07paul heyman the uncheckable power of reed oh you don't want to be the figurehead of that crew and

00:55:44went to the top rope la night made him pay look at concern on the face of paul heyman as heyman looks
00:55:50on down on the apron and a big chop by la night remember heyman is
00:55:55hooked to everything in his career to seth rollins constantly hooked himself to success that has been
00:56:06the modus operandum of paul heyman from the very beginning yeah ever since wrestlemania when he
00:56:13turned his back on roman reigns and now la night to the top rope night now tremendous athleticism does he have
00:56:20enough left in the core with the injured midsection no rollins able to slip underneath
00:56:28and rollins with a buckle bomb always got a solution that is the set freak of rollins way
00:56:35went for the stomp la night with rollins up and his midsection gave out again
00:56:42and rollins with a kick to the face unique suplex attempt there from la night simply didn't have the
00:56:47power left in that frame that heavily fatigued body that has absorbed so much abuse of late and
00:56:54it's about to get even worse and now rollins oh and there's that flying senton springboard senton
00:57:00by rollins and now a moonsault lands on his feet may have tweaked his knee we saw set favor the knee this

00:57:11official area to check on rollins no this could be a serious situation here
00:57:18rollins tweaking his knee heyman over to check on his man that is a knee that has been surgically
00:57:23repaired in the past generally heavily strapped up and that is a look of panic in the eye of set
00:57:30freaking rollins and that is not what you want to see well panic on the face of a of paul heyman as well as
00:57:36as a superstar you know full while when you've done yourself a major mischief i can speak look at

01:05:02appetite tonight with all of those reads but what a night it has been thus far and it's about to get even
01:05:08better
01:05:27well ladies and gentlemen way barrett and i had a very interesting conversation with this man the world
01:05:32champion gunther earlier today i thought he'd be more humble when i asked him the question about
01:05:38how he felt having goldberg's last match of his career yeah well you apparently frequently get the
01:05:44temperature wrong michael cole because sentimentality is a treat for weak men comfort told us i am here to
01:05:52humiliate this man who has no place in my industry i am here to extinguish this stain that is goldberg for
01:06:01good wade you have to wonder is gunther perhaps looking past the 58 year old goldberg tonight to
01:06:08the threat that looms on the horizon of possibly cm punk or maybe seth rollins depending on what
01:06:13happened with the injury tonight but is gunther looking past goldberg tonight there is a golden rule
01:06:19in the fight game the last thing a heavyweight ever loses is his punch we saw that this past monday on
01:06:26raw when goldberg dropped the ring general with a sweet right hook to the jaw
01:06:33the jaw is
01:06:40the jaw is
01:06:42the jaw is
01:06:48Be honest, it's terrible.
01:07:18Oh!
01:07:26Oh!
01:07:48Oh!
01:07:55Oh!
01:07:58Oh!
01:08:00Oh!
01:08:03Oh!
01:08:10Oh!
01:08:14Oh, my God.
01:08:44Pacific exclusively on Peacock.
01:09:07But now it is time for a main event on Saturday night's main event.
01:09:14The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:09:22And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship.
01:09:33Introducing first the challenger from Atlanta, Georgia.
01:09:39Weighing in at 270 pounds, WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg.
01:09:52And his opponent, from Vienna, Austria.
01:10:07Weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Ring General, Goldberg.
01:10:19From a humble beginning in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a massive star on the Georgia Bulldogs football team,
01:10:30to a professional football career, to the summer of 1997,
01:10:34and the start of a professional wrestling career, and a 173-match undefeated streak,
01:10:40which included the biggest win of his career, nearly 27 years ago to the day,
01:10:47when Goldberg in Atlanta, Georgia, defeated Hulk Hogan for the WCW Championship,
01:10:53to multi-world titles in WWE.
01:10:55This is it.
01:10:56The final time.
01:10:58We witness the awesome intensity, the power, the greatness, that is Goldberg.
01:11:04What a clash of generations of styles and legacies.
01:11:11An important note as well.
01:11:13The official in this match is the veteran Charles Robinson,
01:11:31the man who has refereed hundreds of matches in the career of Goldberg,
01:11:35including the historic night on July 6, 1998,
01:11:40when Goldberg defeated Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hogan,
01:11:44to win the championship here in Atlanta.
01:11:47Charles Robinson on hand for the final match of Goldberg's career.
01:11:52So wait, early going, what does Goldberg have to do against Gunther?
01:11:55Well, I think Jesse the Body Ventura hit the nail on the head earlier tonight.
01:12:00Goldberg has to end this quickly.
01:12:02The longer it goes, the more this will favor the big Austrian champ.
01:12:07You don't get great gas mileage when you get up there in years.
01:12:11That is an athletic rule.
01:12:13And the longer this goes for Goldberg,
01:12:16those opportunities of victory diminish.
01:12:21Chop having a little effect on Goldberg,
01:12:24who breaks out in that trademark smile and laugh.
01:12:27Gunther said he would not be intimidated by the intensity of Goldberg,
01:12:32but it's a different story when you're face-to-face with a Hall of Famer.
01:12:36The two men who have simply felt for...
01:12:38Whoa-hoo!
01:12:40Gunther now realizing perhaps the size of the task that lies ahead of him.
01:12:45And what about the task that lies ahead of Goldberg?
01:12:48This is his first match in over three years.
01:12:50His last match, 2022.
01:12:52The Elimination Chamber here in WWE.
01:12:55And Goldberg taking the fight to Gunther.
01:12:57It's your hometown.
01:12:59Your family's here.
01:13:00Retirement hanging over you.
01:13:01The end of a career.
01:13:03You have to be a cold, ruthless, fighting machine in that ring.
01:13:08But there's so much emotion bobbling inside of Goldberg.
01:13:11He has to keep that locked down.
01:13:13The big heavyweight boxer coming out of retirement.
01:13:17Does he have that one big blow left?
01:13:19Does Goldberg have one spear left?
01:13:22Does he have one jackhammer left?
01:13:23Now, you mentioned a little earlier that Goldberg had said in an interview
01:13:26he has physical ailments, one of which was that knee.
01:13:29And look at it.
01:13:30He's got a brace on the left knee.
01:13:32Well, I thought that was absolute insanity.
01:13:34You've got a prep team like Gunther who absorbs this kind of information
01:13:38immediately targeting that knee of Goldberg.
01:13:40And now the power of Goldberg sending Gunther to the center of the ring.
01:13:44And the champ's in trouble.
01:13:45Yeah, I'm impressed with Goldberg in the early go in that raw power coming to the floor.
01:13:49And he's stalking Gunther.
01:13:51Goldberg looking for a spear.
01:13:53And Gunther moving out of harm's way.
01:13:55And Gunther, you see the expression on Goldberg's face.
01:13:59You're like that that may have been his opportunity.
01:14:02That may have been his moment.
01:14:03Well, that's frustration on Goldberg.
01:14:05You let that chance slip away.
01:14:06You may not get another one against the competitor.
01:14:10As good, as well-rounded as the world heavyweight champ, Gunther.
01:14:13Well, I've been impressed so far with the way that Goldberg has taken the fight.
01:14:17But again, Gunther's a bad knee.
01:14:19And now a chop to Goldberg.
01:14:20And Goldberg trying to fight it off.
01:14:22And another chop by the champ.
01:14:23And I'll tell you, I've never seen anybody shrug off those chops quite like Goldberg has thus far.
01:14:28They're registering.
01:14:30They're stinging.
01:14:30But they're not dropping the big man.
01:14:32And Gunther sent toward the corner.
01:14:33Goldberg left the spear.
01:14:34And Goldberg through the barricade into the timekeeper's area.
01:14:38Gunther able to move out of harm's way.
01:14:40Goldberg exploding the barricade with a spear.
01:14:43And Goldberg's in trouble.
01:14:45Could be a golden opportunity for the world champ.
01:14:52Gunther has turned his attention to the injured knee.
01:14:56That bracer covering the left knee of Goldberg.
01:14:59Gunther has been attacking that knee throughout the break.
01:15:01Yes, he has.
01:15:02Gunther is precision and discipline.
01:15:04And Goldberg is destruction in Karmic.
01:15:08And we saw that destruction against our barricade a few minutes ago.
01:15:13And it may well have destroyed Goldberg's chances in this match.
01:15:16He hasn't looked the same since.
01:15:17And Goldberg trying to dig down deep.
01:15:19Final time in his career.
01:15:20In the ring.
01:15:21This time for the world title.
01:15:23And his adopted hometown of Atlanta.
01:15:25And Goldberg fighting back now.
01:15:30Goldberg's got a little bit left.
01:15:32Tapping into the energy of this hometown audience.
01:15:36One last dance for the champ.
01:15:38Yeah, right.
01:15:39The dance may be over here.
01:15:40Right back to the knee.
01:15:43As Goldberg collapses in the ring.
01:15:45Well, Gunther just did his homework.
01:15:47Did his prep work.
01:15:49And has executed almost from the word go tonight.
01:15:52That feeling out process early was all Goldberg.
01:15:55But it's changed in a big way now.
01:15:57Yeah, this match so far has been the blueprint of Trump's throughout his career.
01:16:01Intimidate.
01:16:02Come on, Goldberg.
01:16:03Physically overpower.
01:16:05Come on, Goldberg.
01:16:07What do you want to do?
01:16:08Trash talk.
01:16:09It will embarrass Goldberg here.
01:16:11But that may be a major error.
01:16:13From the ring general.
01:16:14The flurry from Goldberg.
01:16:16Not enough to drop the world heavyweight champ.
01:16:18It's hard to intimidate the master of intimidation.
01:16:20Into the power by Buster by Goldberg.
01:16:23On one good leg.
01:16:25There is still fight in the former champ, in the legend.
01:16:31He's hurting.
01:16:32He's stumbling.
01:16:33But this warrior is going to go out on his shield tonight.
01:16:37Win, lose, or draw.
01:16:39Ganga.
01:16:40Knee buckling as he used it to deliver a blow to Gunther.
01:16:43Now the body shot's in the corner.
01:16:48Gunther with a chop.
01:16:49And another one.
01:16:51The world champ exploded out of the corner.
01:16:53Goldberg is just so hampered.
01:16:54When he gets on the offense, he sometimes is not able to follow up a flurry.
01:17:00Allowing the ring general to recover.
01:17:03But that may have turned the tide.
01:17:06Yeah, that's why Goldberg's got to keep Gunther close.
01:17:08The separation does not help him.
01:17:10Goldberg notorious for those heavy hands, those heavy boots.
01:17:14And throwing it all the way of the ring general.
01:17:16Yeah, but Goldberg heavily favoring the injured knee.
01:17:21And again, Gunther now.
01:17:23And Goldberg able to backbotties lock the champ.
01:17:26Ross says he was locked in for that power bomb that Gunther is known for.
01:17:31And wait on the stance.
01:17:32Goldberg now.
01:17:32Oh, no.
01:17:34Spearing the official Charles Robinson.
01:17:38Inadvertently as Gunther moved out of harm's way.
01:17:41Oh, God.
01:17:42Charles Robinson once again taking the brunt of a major attack there.
01:17:47You're right.
01:17:48Completely inadvertent.
01:17:50Such was the nimble feat of the ring general.
01:17:53And now Gunther from behind right back to the knee of Goldberg.
01:17:58The official's down.
01:17:59And Gunther can do whatever he wants now.
01:18:02And we're going to need another referee.
01:18:04Charles Robinson will not be getting up from that spear.
01:18:06And Goldberg in trouble as Gunther looks to rip the protective knee brace from the knee of the Icon.
01:18:13Just tearing away at will now.
01:18:16Is the ring general looking to humiliate Goldberg?
01:18:20Well, not just humiliate him, but destroy him.
01:18:23Damage him.
01:18:25Gunther has previously been about the sport.
01:18:27Proving he's the greatest on the planet.
01:18:29This is something very different.
01:18:33Refusing to be embarrassed by the return of a former great in Goldberg.
01:18:39This is a statement from the world heavyweight champ.
01:18:43Goldberg, one of the toughest men in the history of professional wrestling.
01:18:48But he has a vulnerability.
01:18:49And that, of course, the injured knee.
01:18:52And now the knee is exposed as Gunther begins to use the protective brace as a weapon.
01:18:57There's no official out here to stop any of this.
01:19:00Goldberg clearly out of his prime physically.
01:19:03But the mind, the body, the heart wants to fight on.
01:19:06You have to respect now.
01:19:09Right to the back of the head of Goldberg.
01:19:11Hope really beginning to slip away now.
01:19:15Of a dream ending for a legendary career.
01:19:19And Gunther now over to Florida.
01:19:32That is Bill's son, Gage.
01:19:34His wife, Wanda, is out there as well.
01:19:36Get your ass down, come on.
01:19:39Get your ass down.
01:19:39What do you mean?
01:19:40Come on.
01:19:40Get your ass down.
01:19:43Oh, Gage's not going to take that.
01:19:45He's over the barricade.
01:19:46Remember, he was at the home of this when it all began in Atlanta last year.
01:19:50When Gunther humiliated Goldberg and his family here in his hometown.
01:19:53Well, I think it's lucky for Gage and our security were on the ball for once.
01:19:58That could have ended incredibly badly for Goldberg's kick.
01:20:02Now Goldberg!
01:20:03Spear!
01:20:04Goldberg hit the spear!
01:20:06Goldberg hit the spear at Gunther!
01:20:09Does he have something left?
01:20:11Does Goldberg have one jackhammer left?
01:20:13He does!
01:20:28My job!
01:20:29Jackhammer!
01:20:30It's up!
01:20:31And there's a new official!
01:20:33Sean Bennett rushed into the ring, but again, the bad knee!
01:20:36Not allowing Goldberg to go into the cover right away!
01:20:39Dragging himself!
01:20:40Falls into the cover!
01:20:41Shoulders down!
01:20:42Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:45Gunther kicked out at two!
01:20:47Off the jackhammer by Goldberg!
01:20:50Oh my god!
01:20:54Gunther completely taking his eye off the ball, thinking this was a parade, getting distracted
01:21:00by Goldberg's kick at ringside!
01:21:03Goldberg pouncing!
01:21:05Now the big one-two whammy with that jackhammer, but the landing on that knee!
01:21:10Preventing the pinning time!
01:21:12And that's Gunther with a sleeper!
01:21:13The sleeper locked in on Goldberg!
01:21:15The sleeper's in!
01:21:17Goldberg won't tap!
01:21:18Gunther's gonna have to pass Goldberg out here!
01:21:22Goldberg's trying to fight back!
01:21:24Grabbing anything he can, but that is 16 deep!
01:21:27And Goldberg now fading!
01:21:29Goldberg is fading!
01:21:30Goldberg with one last gasp!
01:21:33To break the sleeper!
01:21:34To break the sleeper!
01:21:35Goldberg fighting back!
01:21:36Long to his belly!
01:21:38Gunther's still with the sleeper locked in!
01:21:40Gunther's got it in good!
01:21:42Goldberg doesn't have anything left!
01:21:44All that oxygen cut off!
01:21:45The blow cut off and fading!
01:21:47It's Goldberg!
01:21:48And Goldberg is out!
01:21:50Gunther retains!
01:21:51Here is your winner, and still, the World Heavyweight Champion, the Ring General, Goldberg!
01:22:05And with that, it's over!
01:22:08A 28-year career, one of the most dominant in the history of professional wrestling, an
01:22:14icon who threw millions and carried an industry on his back.
01:22:18For Goldberg, it's not who's next anymore, but what's next for Goldberg outside the ring.
01:22:25Gunther's got it!
01:22:27Gunther's got it!
01:22:29Gunther's got it!
01:22:31Gunther's got it!

01:22:33Gunther's got it!
01:22:33Gunther's got it!
01:22:34Gunther's got it!
01:22:34Gunther's got it!
01:22:35Gunther's got it!
