00:00Introducing the challengers.
00:20First, from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
00:22Weighing 273 pounds, Bobby Lashley.
00:29Does this kind of get the hair standing up on the back of your neck, JR?
00:32Absolutely.
00:34Bobby Lashley, a member of the All-Army Wrestling Team,
00:41a collegiate wrestling All-American, a former Army Ranger,
00:45a two-time ECW Heavyweight Champion, and a United States Champion.
00:51Lashley has all the credentials to make history for himself here tonight at Vengeance
00:57United.
00:57He failed to mention that he was stripped of the ECW Championship when he was drafted to RAW.
01:01And he's not too happy about it.
01:04Making his way to the ring next, from Long Island, New York weighing 297 pounds, Mick Foley.
01:16Mick Foley.
01:20Mick Foley last held the WWE title in 1999.
01:24And we were looking forward to Mick Foley's return to the ring last Monday.
01:29As Foley was derailed and absolutely tortured by Umaga.
01:36But we heard Mick Foley say that to be the WWE Champion, he would do absolutely anything.
01:42And anything in that man's vocabulary means anything.
01:46And Foley's gonna channel his legendary role model Terry Bunk here tonight.
01:51And his survival skills.
01:53Another recent draftee.
01:57Mick Foley looking at the ring by Queen Sharmel, weighing 256 pounds, King Booker.
02:10King Booker from right here in Houston, starting out as a member of Harlem Heat with his brother
02:17Stevie Ray and they were a great tag team combination.
02:21Booker T has won more gold than any of the other competitors in this matchup.
02:27Well, it's only right for royalty to hold the gold.
02:34More royalty for Raw.
02:37That WWE Championship would look good around the waist of King Brooker.
02:40Where do you get that Lennox Lewis-like accent?
02:43Do you get new role people acquire different accents if you evolve?
02:47Well, when that crown goes on your head, it just does something to you.
02:52And also when you have a queen like Charvel, you need to impress her.
02:56Charvel definitely is a beautiful woman.
02:59Booker T, very, very talented.
03:04Knows again, as we said, what it's like to wear gold around his waist and not on his head as we see now.
03:20There's some divergent personalities involved in this contest here tonight.
03:26As the WWE title originated 45 years ago, first champion, Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers.
03:38Introducing next, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing 245 pounds, Randy Orton.
03:45As Orton mentioned earlier, he is a third generation superstar.
03:52And third generation superstars have done very well in the WWE.
03:57Orton especially, the youngest world champion in WWE history at 24 years of age.
04:03He's the man that put Shawn Michaels out of action.
04:10And Rob Van Damme, both with severe concussions and injuries that Orton has, and Orton initiated and liked it.
04:20And we both agree that Randy Orton has become arguably the most dangerous superstar in the WWE.
04:29I agree with that.
04:30Randy Orton's RKO, as we saw last week in our main event on Monday Night Raw, can strike anyone, and it didn't.
04:41Bobby Lashley, last Monday, anyone, anywhere, at any time.
04:48There they are, all the challengers are in the ring.
04:55.
05:18.
05:23.
05:24.
05:31And from West New Northern Massachusetts, weighing 248 pounds,
05:36he is the current WWE Champion, John Cena.
05:45Cena's body of work in the last several months has been absolutely amazing.
05:51Stomping to mark his undefeated streak.
05:53Scoring the first pinball and submission victory over the 7'3", 4'2", 20-pound great colleague.
06:02Cena has been on what we could say, a role.
06:05A two-time WWE Champion, Cena's gotta bring it by Roger Clements, another native Houstonian here tonight.
06:07And King, five men in the ring at the same time, but can be known as qualifications or count out.
06:22The match must be won by pinball or submission, and there must be a winner.
06:28What are the keys for this match in your opinion?
06:31Well, of course, it goes without saying, it's every man for himself, but that's me.
06:35When I look at this, this match has its battle royal type characteristics,
06:40except that you can't eliminate opponents by throwing them out of the ring.
06:44But it's gonna be chaotic, JR.
06:49Again, ladies and gentlemen, this match must be won by pinball or submission.
06:53There will be no disqualifications.
06:55There will be no count outs, and there must be a winner.
06:59I think that, I know this is hard to believe, or you may not believe it.
07:03I think luck is gonna play a big factor in this match.
07:06What is King Booker doing?
07:07Little late in the day for the massage there, Booker.
07:09He might wanna get loosened up before he got out here.
07:12And that may be also Booker buying some time.
07:17Bobby Lashley elevating Randy Orton.
07:21It'll be interesting to see, King, as this match progresses, if any allegiances or
07:27Nick Foley grabbing his knee as he took Randy Orton over the top rope.
07:37Nick Foley is- And let's see if he leaves in the ring.
07:41Whoa.
07:43Well, we had a momentary face off by the champ John Cena and Bobby Lashley,
07:48but like I said, that didn't last long.
07:51Booker T's, that extreme fighting like rules, those knees to the ribs and
07:56the head, knees shots.
07:58Bobby Lashley with a thunderous clothesline.
08:01Lashley is a powerhouse.
08:03By the way, JR, he asked me to please.
08:06Booker T wants to be referred to as King Bunker.
08:11Call him Booker T.
08:12We're going.
08:13Bobby Lashley alone.
08:15Wait a minute.
08:16Lashley soaring into the air.
08:21And Lashley the first man up after putting his,
08:25he put his whole future in this match on the line in that one move did Bobby
08:30Lashley.
08:31And remember the first man to score ten or submission wins it, no matter who it is.
08:36Yeah, so in other words, of course that means John Cena, look at this one more time.
08:40The flying leap by Bobby Lashley.
08:43Absolutely amazing.
08:46So the champion, one more look at that.
08:48The champ, John Cena, doesn't actually have to be pinned or made to submit to lose his title.
08:53Bobby Lashley looking to dominate King Booker.
08:56And Lashley, to have Booker in that bug breaker.
09:01There's a club in.
09:03It could be.
09:04What is it?
09:05John Cena saved his title.
09:07You know the champion has zero championship advantage in this match.
09:13Zero.
09:14Now King Booker's back does need the massage, but Lashley was determined to face off with
09:19John Cena.
09:20Here they go.
09:21Cena and Lashley, these two bulls, exchanging hard right hands.
09:26One, two, one.
09:27Another man blinking.
09:29And Lashley overpowers Cena with a spinebuster.
09:34Cena out on the floor right here in front of us.
09:38Again, no disqualifications.
09:40These men- Wait a minute.
09:41Gosh.
09:42Cannot be count out as Cena's skull just cracked up the steel.
09:47And back up Bobby Lashley's business here.
09:50Wait a minute, Lashley, what are you doing?
09:51Lashley knows he can't be disqualified.
09:54Lashley has one goal, one thing on his mind, and that's the-
09:58Lashley has a single to be the WWE Champion.
10:02And here comes Foley, don't ever forget Foley.
10:08Nick Foley is a dangerous man that will do anything to his body and
10:12anybody else's to win his title.
10:14And Booker T would love to be the WWE Champion.
10:18When you're outside the ring, suddenly there are a lot of objects or
10:22things that can become weapons in the hands of people like Foley.
10:25Physicality.
10:31And it's all illegal in this environment.
10:37This is a sudden death environment, if you will.
10:41The only good thing about getting bit by Foley is that I don't think he has all his teeth.
10:44King Booker is in a bad way.
10:52Referee on the outside, which is unusual.
10:55My gosh.
10:57Foley sounds like he just got ejected from a moving automobile in this match again,
11:03where no disqualifications and no count outs.
11:06JR, that was absolutely a sickening.
11:08And Burner the backbreaker.
11:10And now Orton.
11:12Orton.
11:13Listen, listen.
11:14Oh God.
11:16Flash and bolts.
11:18Hey, hey, RKO coming, RKO coming.
11:20RKO coming.
11:21Missed.
11:23The splat.
11:25Wait a minute.
11:26Cena.
11:28My God.
11:30Woo-hoo.
11:31Woo-hoo.
11:32Good Lord.
11:33Cena with all the power.
11:36Just FU Bobby Lashley through the ECW announce table.
11:41How fitting for a former ECW champion.
11:45And now, the opportunistic Booker T, the veteran.
11:48Catching Cena after Cena delivered the goods to Bobby Lashley.
11:54Bobby Lashley.
11:55Well, Bobby Lashley's title dreams just went red.
11:58As you watch right here, just go through the table.
12:01And, man.
12:06Bobby Lashley will be hard pressed to get back into this one.
12:10And the heel kick by Booker.
12:12Look out.
12:13Team Booker with a royal heel to the face.
12:16What a match this is, JR.
12:17And Lashley's still trying to regroup here, but it may be too little too late on this night
12:23for Bobby Lashley.
12:24Well, Lashley was the first man that went outside the ring,
12:27threw the monitors out of that ECW table.
12:29He planned on doing the same thing to John Cena.
12:31What a big time Irish whip by Booker T sending Cena for the ride.
12:41I don't like the way Cena.
12:42Amazing, amazing velocity.
12:44But Cena fights back with his best friend, and that's Cena's big right hand.
12:49Man, what action in this man have been here tonight.
12:57What's that Cena?
12:59Scissors kick.
13:00Booker T with a scissors kick, and that-
13:04Anyway, he's gonna have a new champ, a royal heel.
13:06I think Booker T had it right there with that scissors kick.
13:11We've seen Booker beat a lot of people.
13:13That's right.
13:14Booker has beat a lot.
13:15Wait a minute.
13:16Boom, right hand from Randy Orton.
13:20Orton with a right, then he gets one from John Cena and Cena and Booker T.
13:25And this is a huge combination, Booker T and Cena in here.
13:30A powerhouse, John Cena.
13:35Raw, unmitigated strength of John Cena, a man that effed the Big Show at over 500 pounds.
13:44John Cena's feeling it.
13:49You can't see me, King.
13:52You can, whoa, my God.
13:54Cena ran right into the RKO.
13:57Don't do it.
13:58The RKO.
13:59Mick Bowling by saving Cena.
14:03Where did Bowling come from?
14:04Just continues this match.
14:06Remember.
14:07What does, what does, what does, what does, what does, what does, what does.
14:13The bars, the elbow shots.
14:15Bits, bars, elbows, impact.
14:19Ugniness from Nick Bowling.
14:21Here it comes.
14:23A huge knee to the head, face, jaw.
14:27The handsome features of Randy Orton, man that are rearranged by Mick Bowling.
14:34No!
14:35The RGDT.
14:36Orton's face driven right into the hands.
14:39Get the cover, Mick.
14:40Come on, cover him, Bowling.
14:41Wait a minute.
14:42Look at the right side of your screen.
14:45Yes, it is.
14:46Mick Bowling pulling a sock.
14:51It's Socko.
14:56What a straight kick.
15:00A thrust kick.
15:01And both Booker T and Orton had a similar idea.
15:05You cannot take your eyes off the action or your opponent for one second or
15:09you'll be blindsided just like Foley was.
15:12A permanent pace in this WWE championship challenge.
15:18Forget about Socko.
15:19And the chair is legal.
15:21Foley's going straight for the metal, heavy metal here.
15:24No more Mr. Nice Guy.
15:26Foley with that Cactus Jack shirt.
15:29I think King Booker is about to be crammed.
15:32No!
15:34My Lord!
15:36No!
15:37Blast his head.
15:39The skull could have been cracked.
15:41The chair is dented.
15:43But he got some steel.
15:45Foley's down with everyone in sight.
15:47Foley wants the WWE title.
15:49And he'll do anything to get it.
15:52And from behind comes Randy Orton.
15:54Orton avoided meeting that steel chair to his handsome features.
16:00Well Mick Foley laid out Lashley, then King Booker, and then John Cena with the chair.
16:05Orton is in an amazing, opportune place right here, right now, to become the WWE Champion.
16:12Yeah, but J.R. is gonna have to pin somebody to win the title.
16:16He's looking for the first man to stand up.
16:18Orton looks like he.
16:21Wait a minute, wait.
16:23No!
16:24No!
16:25That running kick.
16:26Come on.
16:27That running kick.
16:28Right to the head.
16:29Lashley, where the hell did Lashley come from?
16:31Lashley with a spear.
16:32Booker T kicking.
16:35Wow.
16:36Another hard shot to the face of Bobby Lashley.
16:41Foley may have been confessing.
16:43See him with the FU, but he's got the ropes.
16:49Uh-oh.
16:50Booker T thought he avoided the FU, he did.
16:53My God.
16:55Mick Foley off.
16:57And Cena wins it.
17:04My God.
17:08And still, WWE Champion, John Cena.
17:16Cena comes into this match, no better than a 20%,
17:20no better than a 20% chance of retaining the WWE title.
17:25against four men.
17:27Cena couldn't retain via disqualification or count out.
17:32There had to be a better submission.
17:34And Orton's kick to Foley's head.
17:37Foley did time and Cena kept the line.
