00:00And a couple of near falls for John Cena.
00:09Almost winning the United States Championship tonight,
00:11but Sami has been a game champion.
00:16Heard Cena himself say how much he respects Sami's desire to be a fighting champion.
00:20Speaking of Kurt Angle, ankle lock is in!
00:23Looking for the STFU, locked in on Sami Zayn.
00:27John Cena, though, turns it into the ankle lock for the Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle.
00:32And now, if he can get Sami Zayn to tap out, to tap out to the ankle lock, folks,
00:38we'll have a new United States Champion.
00:40Sami Zayn can feel the United States Championship slipping through his fingers.
00:44Sami Zayn trying to fight out of this.
00:45John drags him back.
00:46There he is!
00:47Now we go to the STFU!
00:49Now John with it in, center of the ring.
00:52Zayn nowhere to go.
00:53His last few feet to the bottom rope have got to feel like miles to Sami Zayn.
01:02Zayn's got to get to the rope to force a break and save his championship.
01:06Sami trying to drag himself to the bottom rope.
01:08Cena trying to hold on with the STFU that has tapped so many men in his illustrious career.
01:15John again.
01:17Sami with nowhere to go.
01:20Zayn may tap out.
01:21This place will explode if Zayn taps out.
01:26And now Sami trying to dig down deep and claw and scratch his way for a break here.
01:34Cena holding on to this STF with everything he's got left.
01:38And again, going to drag Sami back to the center of the ring.
01:40But Sami wisely rolled on his back.
01:43Great counter by Sami Zayn.
01:45Look at him.
01:45Now Zayn!
01:46No way, no way!
01:47With an A to Cena!
01:50Sami!
01:50Cover!
01:51Is it enough?
01:53Jon has to kick out of his own move.
01:56And you saw Sami.
01:58Did you notice when he delivered the AA, his ankle buckled?
02:01That, of course, because Cena had that ankle lock locked in before the STFU.
02:05Sami Zayn spent a significant amount of time in two very, very painful submission holds.
02:10And that slight delay may be the only reason this match isn't over.
02:17Sami trying to fight back into this.
02:19John Cena as well.
02:20This is for the United States Championship.
02:26You've seen Cena do so many things that he's never done in the past.
02:29The pop-up powerbomb.
02:32The ankle lock.
02:36Ironically, that ankle lock seems to have done more damage to Sami Zayn than just about
02:41anything thus far.
02:41Yeah, but Sami back to his feet.
02:43And Cena trying to drag himself up in the corner.
02:45And Sami Zayn going to try the haluba kick.
02:47I don't know.
02:49I don't know if Sami's going to be able to plant.
02:51And he isn't.
02:51Cena picks him out of the air.
02:53Delivers an 8-8 to Sami.
02:55Cover for the United States Championship.
02:57And a kick on it.
02:58Oh!
03:02Unbelievable.
03:09And this has to be disheartening for John Cena, who has now landed his best shot on Zayn
03:15on multiple occasions, but is still not the United States Champion.
03:19You mentioned before, Corey, this isn't the same.
03:22Same Sami Zayn that Cena faced a decade ago.
03:29It has been an incredible match for the United States Championship in front of 16,678 tonight
03:37at Allstate Arena in Chicago.
03:39John Cena versus the champ Sami Zayn.
03:42And this happened just moments ago.
03:43Sami Zayn looking for a haluba kick on a compromised ankle.
03:48Caught into an A-A by Cena.
03:50And at 2-9 hits, Zayn escaped.
03:53Wait a minute.
03:54Yeah, come back to live action.
03:56It was an exploder suplex into the corner by Zayn.
03:58And Zayn now looking to put Cena away with an haluba kick.
04:01Great opportunity for Sami here.
04:03Haluba kick.
04:05Catches Cena.
04:06Cena's down.
04:07Cover by Zayn.
04:08John kicks out.
04:10A look of disbelief in the eyes of the United States Champion.
04:19Because he knows that that was his best effort.
04:22That made it last pitch opportunity for Zayn to keep his title.
04:25First, the exploder followed immediately by a haluba kick.
04:29Right on the chin of the GOAT.
04:31But somehow, someway, John Cena finds a way to kick out.
04:38And what an atmosphere here tonight in Chicago.
04:42Cena came here to say goodbye.
04:44Sami Zayn got him to accept the championship match.
04:48Go for Cena!
04:50Go for Cena!
04:53Go for Cena!
04:56Sami placing Cena into position for something.
05:00Sami thinking twice about it now.
05:05I'm thinking Sami's starting to feel a little desperate, Cole.
05:08Yeah, bad ankle and all.
05:09Sami Zayn's going to try to drag himself to the top rope.
05:13High above the All-State Arena.
05:15John Cena back to his feet.
05:16Leap thawed by Sami.
05:18Rolls through.
05:19Cena caught him.
05:23Oh, and a knee!
05:25We're to Chicago right!
05:26Punk is here!
05:27Cover!
05:28Hook of the leg!
05:29And a kick out at Poe!
05:31John Cena paid homage to one of his great rivals in his career.
05:35Remember what happened in this building at Money in the Bank.
05:40Back in 2011, Cena, Punk, an incredible match for the WWE title.
05:52And Cena, the look on his face, Corey, what do I have to do?
05:55I mean, Cena's borrowing plays from other superstars' playbooks at this juncture and still can't finish the job.
06:00At what point does doubt begin to creep into the mind of a man who is the greatest of all time?
06:08A man who has seen and done everything in this industry?
06:11Yeah, but what's his mantra?
06:12Never give up.
06:14The man that the great JBL, the Hall of Famer, is called Big Match John.
06:20We might have another homage on our hands, Cole.
06:22And Cena with a spear!
06:29A spear by Cena!
06:30Hook to the leg!
06:32And again, a kick out by Zayn!
06:34Think of the battles that John has had with the former Big Dog over the years.
06:44Not to mention, another infamous Canadian.
06:47Don't have seen his greatest rivals, but John Cena now asking himself how, why, what can I possibly do to put Sami Zayn down for three?
06:56Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo! Arkeo!
07:12Sami just trying to get his wits about him after that spear by Cena.
07:19Cena stalking the champion.
07:23Uh-oh! Went for an Arkeo!
07:25Oh, and Sami countered, and now into a big clothesline.
07:27A brutal landing on the left shoulder of Sami Zayn after the clothesline.
07:32Sami suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury ten years ago in his first encounter with Cena.
07:36Yep. Great call.
07:40Oh, my God. This is gonna do it, Cole!
07:43Cena from the second rope. Sami high above the ring.
07:46John Cena!
07:47Oh, and Sami Zayn able to counter with a couple of well-placed elbows.
07:55Cena, though,'s got him.
07:56John Cena!
07:58And the wits!
07:59Oh!
07:59Attitude adjustment!
08:02Cena's gonna do it!
08:04Cover it, John!
08:05And John capitalized here.
08:08Cena's got an opportunity.
08:09Oh!
08:10Both men are down for the United States Championship.
08:14Oh!

09:15An F5 by Lesnar.
09:22And now the man apparently came to target.
09:32Zayn up on his shoulders.
09:34Zayn was collateral damage, but this wasn't.
09:37Lesnar targeting John Zayn with an F5.
