00:00He is the challenger in the biggest match of his young career.

00:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall and

00:24it is for the WWE Undisputed Championship.

00:29Introducing the challenger, being accompanied by his agent, Paul Heyman.

00:33From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 295 pounds.

00:39The next big thing, Brock Lesnar.

00:43Are we looking at the animalistic future of the WWE?

00:50The brutality that is Brock Lesnar.

00:54The time for talking is done.

00:56It's ass kicking time.

00:58Lesnar knows that, and so does The Rock, and it's go time right now.

01:04Well, the next big thing become the big thing tonight.

01:07If you smile when the rock is coming.

01:13And from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds, it's the WWE Undisputed Champion,

01:23The World.

01:27And The Rock, who lost his little time.

01:29The Hall of Ball, rushing the ring.

01:32And here we go, The Rock, and Brock Haleighi with the title of The Rock.

01:38And wow, belly to belly by Brock Lesnar.

01:41Just like that.

01:42What's wrong?

01:43Here's the cover, hook of the leg, and The Rock kicks in.

01:46Brock sending a message that big, over the top, belly to belly, right to The Rock.

01:50And Brock Lesnar with The Rock, but just like a sack of potatoes.

01:56Striving him into that knee.

01:58The ribs cold.

01:59Again.

02:00The injured ribs from SmackDown and the week before at Raw.

02:03And here's the cover, hook of the leg by Brock, and The Rock gets the shoulder off.

02:07It was six days ago that Triple H injured the ribs of The Rock.

02:12On SmackDown Thursday night, Manny Guerrero, along with Brock Lesnar,

02:17continue the damage, and Lesnar going right to The Ribs, early on tonight.

02:21That big, thick, strong belt toward of Brock Lesnar, driven right through The Rock's ribs.

02:27And The Rock driven through the second rope, and outside the ring.

02:31And then you see the agent of Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, with a cheap shot.

02:35And Heyman could be a wild card in this matchup.

02:38The bomb of bull up on the barricade is this animal.

02:48Brock Lesnar drives Brock into the draft.

02:51Let's check out Paul.

02:52Look at this, a sneaky, nasty maneuver by the master of sneakiness, Heyman.

02:58If you're the youngster Brock Lesnar, you could not ask for this match to start off any better.

03:04The Rock dropped on those ribs on the steel barricade.

03:09Brock Lesnar just all the power, six foot four, 295 pounds, two-time Big Tank champ,

03:17four-time All-American, and two-time National Champ from the University of Minnesota.

03:22And Brock Lesnar continues the pressure on The Rock.

03:27And if you're Brock Lesnar, the toughest opponent, perhaps, that The Rock has ever faced,

03:32you have to continue this ground-based attack on The Frollo's champ.

03:35And another belly to belly.

03:37And to see The Rock, writhing in pain, Brock into the cover, could crown a new champion.

03:42And Rock just gets the shoulder up.

03:44You know, Rock came roaring in like gangbusters, and that's about it offensively for him.

03:50And Lesnar just grounded The Rock.

03:53And The Rock, with a right hand, tries to battle back.

03:56Another one from The Undisputed Champion.

03:58Heyman.

03:59Look at Paul Heyman.

04:00Heyman grabbing the leg of The Rock, giving the advantage again to Lesnar.

04:05As if Brock Lesnar needs an advantage from Heyman.

04:08And Lesnar continues that brutal attack on the ribs of The Undisputed Champion.

04:13And Heyman again.

04:15Look at him.

04:15I'm begging the ref for somebody, get Heyman the hell out of here.

04:19Paul Heyman.

04:20It's like a handicap match.

04:21He's riding the gravy train with Brock Lesnar.

04:23Yeah.

04:24A win tonight for Lesnar makes Paul Heyman virtually a millionaire.

04:28He's got the champion, the youngest champion ever in his corner.

04:31Heyman, if he's a man, there's a lot of people money, so hopefully he becomes a millionaire.

04:36And here's The Rock ripped off the rope by Brock Lesnar.

04:38But the inexperienced look, he showed it.

04:40He teleported.

04:41Wow, from Lesnar exploding.

04:44Big, big power slam by Lesnar.

04:45Hook of the leg.

04:46Here's two.

04:47And The Rock just gets the shoulder up again.

04:49The Rock's all hot.

04:51Look at him in that face.

04:52Well, Taz, The Rock will never say quit.

04:55The Rock will do anything to keep the title.

04:58He'll never use those injured ribs as an excuse.

05:03Well, you know what?

05:04The Rock, five-time Tag Team Champion, two-time in a Continental Champion,

05:08and a seven-time WWE Champion.

05:10What more can you bring to the table?

05:12But he's never faced a man like Lesnar before.

05:14The pleasure.

05:15Wow.

05:15The ribs, the ribs, the ribs.

05:18Lesnar, simple but effective attack.

05:21And Brock Lesnar, here he comes to speed.

05:24Into that steel post.

05:25An experience.

05:27And Lesnar's shoulder into the steel post, driving force.

05:31And The Rock trying to recuperate.

05:34The Bravo Bull.

05:35Come on, Rock, here you go, get a big throw.

05:37What a suplex.

05:39What a taste of a little rock's message in there with a big fat suplex.

05:43Now The Rock hoping to gain, to catch his breath.

05:46Both men down center of the ring.

05:48First man to his feet here.

05:50Good game momentum in this championship matchup.

05:53And Rock ain't showing any signs of life.

05:56Rock Lesnar's moving at least.

05:58This is a wall, man, this thing has been.

06:01Both men, hip hop, can you believe it?

06:04That was cool, man.

06:06And The Rock with right hands to Brock Lesnar, the champion, reversed into the ropes.

06:12Trying to knock the big man down, but that's like hitting a brick wall.

06:15A lie, again a clothesline.

06:17Go low, Rock, go low, Rock.

06:19Go low, go low.

06:21Ducks underneath the clothesline by Brock Lesnar now knocks Brock down.

06:24Go high, Rock.

06:25And the champion, Lesnar with a DDT, floats into the cover, hooks the leg.

06:30Two and a half.

06:31Lesnar just gets the shoulder up.

06:34Rock's picking the pace up.

06:37Lesnar didn't expect that obstacle from The Rock and Heyman.

06:41And The Rock locking in, wait for the sharpshooter.

06:44Now, now, now.

06:46Causing the distraction again, and Heyman knocked down.

06:50Light laced, light drag, I correct myself, man.

06:53A leg drag by The Rock, setting Brock Lesnar up for perhaps the submission maneuver.

06:57That is the sharpshooter.

07:00And there it is, blocked in.

07:01Lesnar might be too strong for this, Cole.

07:04The sharpshooter locked in by The Rock.

07:06Will Brock Lesnar submit for the first time in his career tonight?

07:10Brock Lesnar with his amateur background is conditioned for

07:13a maneuver like this on his lower back, conditioned for this.

07:17And The Rock, you can see, putting everything he has into the sharpshooter.

07:22Referee Mike Chioda in the face of Brock Lesnar.

07:25Will the next big thing tap out?

07:28Look how low The Rock's hips off can get a shot.

07:31Look how low The Rock's hips off, 6'5".

07:34Keeping the leverage down, keeping the pressure on the lower back of Lesnar.

07:39The experience of The Rock, grounding the monster that is Brock Lesnar.

07:43Lesnar's down on his belly, he's pancaked right now.

07:50The right hand is up, will Lesnar tap?

07:52Will Lesnar tap to the sharpshooter?

07:54But Heyman's back on that damn apron.

07:57Heyman again distracting the ref, dropping a steel chair into the ring.

08:01Uh-oh.

08:03Pull him in, yeah.

08:04Heyman in the hard way.

08:06Well, Heyman's gonna wish he'd never defend this match.

08:10Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, a clubbing blow to the back of the neck.

08:15All right, let's go.

08:16Heyman's field ticket, the next big thing Brock Lesnar just saved Paul Heyman.

08:21And Brock Lesnar crawling, crawling towards a steel chair.

08:27Heyman has the referee distracted.

08:29The animal with a weapon in his hand.

08:31He don't need a weapon in his hand.

08:32Into the ribs, the injury to The Rock, that steel chair,

08:36driven like a javelin.

08:37The Rock is in a bad way right now, there's that big, thick back.

08:43And we saw with this bear hug into the legendary Hollywood Hulk Hogan just a few weeks ago.

08:49Brock Lesnar's massive arms sucking the life out of Hogan.

08:53Posing internal bleeding, blood dripping from the mouth.

08:56Will The Rock suffer the same fate tonight?

08:59It ain't just the thickness of Brock's arms, Cole.

09:02It's that great hand strength, that grip from all those years of wrestling as an amateur.

09:09That's taking Cole, Cole, is it me to say, on The Rock's back.

09:14The Rock with the right hand to Brock Lesnar, still has that bear hug.

09:18And Brock Lesnar quickly, again, back into the rims, back into the bear hug, on The Rock.

09:26You know, remember, like you said, The Rock's ribs first engine, that's not right.

09:31Rocks, his shoulders down, rolls back over to his belly, the instinct for the champion.

09:35Rock's ribs were initially injured, reached back on Raw by Triple H.

09:39Again, shoulders down, again, champion gets his shoulder up.

09:43The Rock, despite the pain, knows where he is at all times.

09:46That's what this title, hanging on to this title, means to The Rock.

09:49A lot of these fans here, man, they're into Brock Lesnar.

09:53But you're right, that great match, that instinct of Brock Lesnar keeping The Rock in the middle,

09:58keeping that gut wrench, that bear hug, that waist lock around The Rock's waist.

10:01The Rock desperately trying to make it to the ropes.

10:04Cole, you gotta question The Rock's conditioning.

10:07He's seen all those videos of him training, upright, running, through the steps,

10:12training the weights, but knowing that one, he didn't reach out of the mat.

10:14But how do you question the stamina of The Rock, the cardiovascular condition?

10:18And look at Brock Lesnar, continuing to squeeze The Rock's guts, his ribs.

10:24I'm not saying the stamina, what I'm saying is he didn't train in the mat,

10:27he didn't see the mat training by The Rock.

10:30The arm down one time.

10:31The arm down a second time.

10:34The Rock, Lesnar, made Hollywood Hulk Hogan pass out to him.

10:37Here we go.

10:38Will it happen to The Rock tonight?

10:39No.

10:41The fight of the Bravo Bull, it's on.

10:45These people, they're not digging a rock here in Long Island, but that's right,

10:49The Rock's roll hard.

10:50The undisputed title is on the line.

10:53The Rock, the champion, the challenger Brock Lesnar, a sold out Nassau Coliseum,

10:59begins to come on for The Rock.

11:01Now The Rock a chance, I'm making these people a pick a side.

11:04Now they want The Rock.

11:05A right hand to the side of the head of Lesnar, and another.

11:10And the champ begins to build momentum.

11:13The champ, The Rock wants to hold off in the most prestigious championship in this great business.

11:19The WWE champion.

11:20And so Paul Heyman again distracting the referee, but that may have helped The Rock that time.

11:24Hey, you know how his back turned?

11:29Look at The Rock's eyes, man.

11:30The Rock is a gladiator.

11:32This is a battle, and that's it.

11:34It's all about winning the match.

11:36The champion can set perhaps a turning point, perhaps a momentum.

11:40And once again, through it back, through it.

11:42Driving The Rock into the corner, and maybe The Rock took a little too much time there.

11:47Looks like he got hit by a big fullback from Florida State.

11:52Three.

11:53A driving shoulder into the ribs.

11:56Can you imagine?

11:58Brock Lesnar in three weeks could change the entire sports entertainment industry.

12:02And The Rock exploding out of the corner.

12:05Never say die out.

12:07The Bravo Bull digging deep down, the white hands to the challenger.

12:12And the rest of the back down, and Lesnar knocked out of the ring.

12:19Listen to Nassau Coliseum.

12:22What happened to The Bull and Heather Jarrett?

12:25Some like The Rock, some like Brad Lesnar.

12:28I don't know the last time before we've seen The Rock use these tactics.

12:33You want to fight a vicious warrior, you better be vicious.

12:38This was perhaps the most anticipated title match in the history of SummerSlam.

12:44And thus far, The Rock and Brock had delivered.

12:47And The Bravo Bull clearing the announce table.

12:51What does The Rock have on his mind?

12:53Well, I'm thinking I ain't no genius, but I'm thinking he wants to put Lesnar around us with that table.

12:58Now, Paul Heyman, looks as if he saw a ghost, he tried to sneak up on The Rock.

13:03And Lesnar's head.

13:06And Brock Lesnar, trying to ambush the Rock, the Bravo Bull,

13:11seemingly with eyes in the back of his head.

13:13Shining up the O-ring post, and you know where he's gonna stick it.

13:17Yeah, right now, right in Brock Lesnar's big head.

13:20Lesnar, off the steel post, head first goes The Challenger.

13:25I got a funny feeling, Cole, that The Rock's got something in mind for Happy Heyman.

13:32Brock Lesnar's agent is in deep, deep trouble.

13:37And I'm so happy right now.

13:40My God.

13:41Look at this.

13:42Paul Heyman driven through the damn table with a rock bottom by the Bravo Bull.

13:49And Paul Heyman deserves every bit of it.

13:52Hallelujah, there is a God.

13:54Wow.

13:57Brock Lesnar still reeling after his head collided through the steel ring post.

14:02And now you can see the champion.

14:04You can almost see the smoke coming from the nostrils of the Bravo Bull.

14:08And his sense his victory is there.

14:10No doubt, The Rock is snorting.

14:12And The Rock goes focused, going right back to Lesnar.

14:15The Rock taking it to Brock Lesnar, tosses it back into the ring.

14:21Lesnar, tosses it back into the ring.

14:24Let's go, let's go, let's go.

14:26And this crowd at Nassau Coliseum, mixed reactions throughout.

14:30You get that big match feel here tonight at SummerSlam.

14:34The fans into this match every single step of the way.

14:38And The Rock is stalking The Challenger.

14:40Brock Lesnar was 53-3 in college, but I don't think that's gonna matter most right now.

14:44The Rock is poised and pumped and ready to deliver.

14:47Probably a rock bottom.

14:49Lesnar, there it is.

14:49Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom by the champion.

14:54Into the cover.

14:55One, two, three.

14:57Lesnar kicked out of the rock bottom.

15:01I can't believe it.

15:03Give it up for the toughness, toughness of the next big thing, Brock Lesnar.

15:07And look at The Rock, The Rock perhaps questioning himself, talking to himself,

15:12perplexed a great word.

15:13The Rock cannot believe Lesnar kicked out of the rock bottom.

15:17Most of us here, you and I can't believe Lesnar did.

15:20Rock, you need to pick the game up now, my man.

15:23But I think The Rock can smell it.

15:28The damage from The Rock bottom has been done.

15:30Brock Lesnar, the rock bottom of his own.

15:33Brock bottom?

15:35Driving The Rock into the mat.

15:37Cover of Brock, we could have a new champion.

15:39He's free, he's free.

15:41A new champion, and Brock kicked out.

15:43What a match.

15:47The Rock kicked out of a Brock bottom as Taz named it.

15:51And now, both men are down.

15:54Who will be first to his feet?

15:55Who will gain important momentum as this match drags along?

15:59This is where conditioning takes over.

16:02The fourth quarter, the bottom of the ninth, all those damn cliches.

16:07But this is the WWE.

16:08You gotta get up to survive.

16:11Two proud men, two national champions, The Rock in college football.

16:16Brock Lesnar in college wrestling.

16:18And tonight going for the most prestigious prize in sports entertainment today.

16:23The undisputed title.

16:26Brock Lesnar.

16:27That's a very surprise, that's an incredible five right there.

16:31Smile buster, smile buster.

16:34And here it comes.

16:36Don't waste time, Rock.

16:37Nail his pupils elbow, man.

16:39The most electrifying move in sports entertainment carry on any day.

16:44You've seen it so many times, Lesnar's off, and the play is high.

16:49What a hit, what a hit.

16:51Brock like a lone backer, almost taking the lock out of his boot.

16:55Here it is.

16:56No.

16:57It's a five time call.

17:00And the Rock counter, the Rock counter in the promo ball with one hand battling back.

17:05Watch to block the rock bottom.

17:08Now look out, went through another rock bottom.

17:10Go, go, go.

17:11Brock Lesnar, he countered.

17:12Look out, F5, an F5 to the Rock, the cover.

17:19One, two, three.

17:21Brock Lesnar has defeated the Rock, Brock Lesnar is champion.

17:26WWE undisputed champion,

17:31the next big thing, Brock Lesnar.

17:37An F5 from Brock Lesnar has taken out The Rock.

17:43Brock Lesnar has become the youngest champion in WWE history.

17:50Who in the hell will be able to stop the next big thing?

17:56Best of luck.

17:58Brock Lesnar has climbed the mountain in just five short months.
