Transcript
00:00Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
00:07If my client is not on last, then we're not hanging around here all night to wait.
00:21We're getting our business done, and we're getting on a jet to Las Vegas,
00:28where my client is ultimately appreciated.
00:37So let's get this nonsense over with.
00:42We're doing it right here, right now.
00:48Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at 265 pounds,
00:56the Rollins-Stomping Beast Slayer Slayer,
01:02the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion,
01:10Barack Weissner!
01:13Well, this honestly is a surprise.
01:21We did not expect to start WrestleMania tonight with the Universal Championship up for grabs.
01:26Well, the Universal Champion carries a great deal of cachet here in WWE.
01:31The Beast does what the Beast wants.
01:33For the past couple of years, Brock Lesnar has really had a stranglehold on the Universal Championship.
01:47His latest reign began back in November at the Crown Jewel event after the title was vacated because of Roman Reigns' illness.
01:54And here tonight, Brock Lesnar walks into another WrestleMania as Universal Champion.
02:00And Seth Rollins said it himself.
02:01He thinks that Brock Lesnar has cast a shadow over this entire industry.
02:06I want to know what's going through Seth Rollins' mind right now.
02:10Seth was not expecting to open WrestleMania with the Universal Championship on the line.
02:15He might, he didn't have time to stretch, he didn't have time to warm up.
02:19This is a brilliant move by Lesnar.
02:21Well, it might be a brilliant move by Lesnar, but Seth Rollins has said all along
02:25that this is the biggest night of his career.
02:28He has been planning for this night since he won the Royal Rumble match back in January.
02:32No excuses, Rollins gotta be ready to go.
02:34There's no doubt Seth Rollins has been focused on this matchup,
02:37but he was not expecting it to happen right now at the beginning of WrestleMania.
02:41I will say, the Seth Rollins I saw today all throughout the building
02:44looked like the most confident Seth Rollins I've seen in a while.
03:11On the other hand, we were Mount Rumble matchup.
03:16Oh, it's not the other hand.
03:17By the way, Alex Rollins has been focused on this matchup.
03:20And I've still beat.
03:21I know.
03:23I know.
03:24I know.
03:24I know.
03:25I know.
03:25You know.
03:26I know.
03:28I know.
03:28I know.
03:29It's not the other hand.
03:30I know.
03:33I know.
03:33Yeah.
03:35Yeah.
03:35I know.
03:37I know.
03:38Yeah.
03:38I don't know.
04:08The contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Universal Championship!
04:15Making his way to the ring, from Davenport Idol, weighing 217 pounds, Seth Rollins!
04:23Seth Rollins has won at every WrestleMania that he's been a part of.
04:27Part of the Shield. He cashed in the money.
04:29Now Brock Lesnar nodded him, allowing Rollins to get in the ring,
04:33as the base goes right after the man who wants to be the base player.
04:37The schedule has changed, but the goal remains the same.
04:40Rollins wants to slay the Beast and become Universal Champion,
04:43but Lesnar obviously has no intentions of relinquishing.
04:47Well, Rollins is not gonna do it this way.
04:49Brock Lesnar right out of the box going right after Seth.
04:52Well, Brock is bringing the fight to Rollins tonight.
04:55This could be done quick.
04:56And look at it, a five outside the ring by the Beast!
05:06Brock Lesnar has taken out Rollins.
05:10Of course, Brock Lesnar changes the entire scenario,
05:14catches Seth Rollins off guard by rescheduling the match.
05:17Rollins couldn't even get in the ring, and Lesnar is taking the fight to the challenger.
05:21My God, face first.
05:23Come on, Brock.
05:26You heard the clash now, whipped into the barricade.
05:33It was actually the steel girder underneath the ring apron.
05:36And as a reminder, the bell hasn't rung, this match isn't even official yet.
05:41Brock Lesnar though, going right after Seth Rollins,
05:45leaving nothing to chance here tonight.
05:48Listen to this.
05:50Boom!
05:54What a thud to the skull of Seth Rollins.
05:56Look out, guys.
05:57And now Rollins sent over the German announce table to our left.
06:02And Brock Lesnar is in beast mode already tonight.
06:06Rollins hasn't even had a chance to get out of the gate.
06:08My God.
06:09Lesnar's staring down our official here.
06:12And now, we'll send Rollins across the table again.
06:16And Seth Rollins, who many believe was behind the eight ball before this match even started tonight, definitely is now.
06:24You guys realize this is brilliant what Brock Lesnar's doing.
06:27He changed the schedule of the matchup.
06:29He jumped Seth Rollins before the bell.
06:31Now he's not even gonna get Rollins in the ring.
06:33There's not even gonna be a match.
06:34Well, perhaps the concern of what Rollins may have been able to do to Lesnar tonight if this match had begun fair and square.
06:44But nonetheless, Rollins is into the ring.
06:46The champion Lesnar, the beast, will begin to stalk the man who wants to become the beast slayer.
06:52But the referee has to decide Seth can compete.
06:55Rollins has just been mauled by Lesnar.
06:58The beast slayer, right?
07:00The beast slayer.
07:02Come on now, Brock.
07:04Come on now, Brock.
07:05Hey, hey, come on now, Brock.
07:06Hey, come on now, Brock.
07:07You gotta wait for it now, come on.
07:08Come on now, Brock.
07:09The official was doing his job.
07:23He was again sent over the top rope and crashes to the floor right out here in front of us.
07:27Seth Rollins never had a chance.
07:32And Brock Lesnar wanted to start the match, but Rollins isn't gonna have a chance right now.
07:36Heyman and Brock, the mastermind behind this, for Brock Lesnar to leave here with the Universal title.
07:42And Lesnar this time will send Roberts across the table again and goes crashing into our German announcers.
07:51Brock Lesnar.
07:53The beast is on an absolute rampage at WrestleMania.
07:57Well, you heard Heyman, he felt disrespected that he wasn't in the so-called main event here tonight.
08:04That he was gonna come out here, take care of business, take the Universal Championship, back to the West Coast.
08:11And now Seth Rollins, I'm not sure if you can see his back as he crashes through the hood of the announce table.
08:17Seth Rollins' back is a mess.
08:19Welts have begun to build.
08:21Swelling is starting.
08:22And Seth Rollins, I'm not sure if he's gonna be able to continue here tonight.
08:26And Brock Lesnar is laughing.
08:28The beast is enjoying every second of what he's doing to Seth Rollins.
08:33Seth has been taunting Brock week in and week out, and now he faces the beast head on.
08:38Well, there is a reason that Brock Lesnar is called the beast.
08:44He is relentless.
08:46He is merciless.
08:49Once again, Lesnar ordering the referee to start the match.
08:52We take another look at the brutality suffered by Seth Rollins.
08:57Before the lane, the official calls for the bell.
09:00The bell is wrong, the match is now official.
09:03This is for the Universal Championship.
09:05Brock Lesnar is the champion, Seth Rollins is the challenger.
09:07As Lesnar looks to make short work of Rollins here tonight.
09:11This is hardly fair for Seth Rollins.
09:13Rollins, I mean, was robbed.
09:15That suplex released.
09:17Seth has nothing to offer in this fight at this point.
09:20Let's not forget, Lesnar hasn't forgotten the night four years ago.
09:24When Seth Rollins cashed in the Money in the Bank contract.
09:27I brought Lesnar and Roman Reigns to win the championship that night.
09:31That night has stuck in the brain of Brock Lesnar for four years.
09:39Seth Rollins anticipated a trip to Suplex City.
09:42He knew tonight would be painful.
09:44But I don't think even Seth Rollins, the architect, was expecting this sort of assault.
09:49Look at his back, Corey. Look at Rollins' back.
09:51He was tossed coast to coast across the ring.
09:54And another released German from the champion Lesnar.
09:58Well, remember what Paul Heyman said this past week.
10:03That Brock Lesnar will, quote, violate Seth Rollins.
10:08That he will, quote, desecrate the good name of WrestleMania.
10:13And, and, you know, and, uh-oh.
10:16Well, what's up?
10:17Lesnar almost ran into the official.
10:19Oh, no!
10:20Rollins goes low!
10:21Rollins goes low, reminiscent of Monday Night on Raw.
10:25The referee was outside of the ring, wasn't able to see it.
10:28And now Rollins hopes turnabout's fair play.
10:32A kick to the face of the beast.
10:34And Rollins has some hope.
10:37I don't know where, I don't know how, but Seth Rollins needs,
10:42to find the will to keep on fighting, to dethrone the beast.
10:47There's the stop to Lesnar.
10:50Can Rollins capitalize?
10:52The Lesnar's almost back up.
10:55Rollins trying to pull himself to his feet,
10:57trying to will his way back into this match.
11:00The Universal Champion is wounded.
11:02The challenger is up.
11:03This is the moment for Seth.
11:05Another stop by Rollins.
11:07But Seth cannot put himself in position to cover the champion.
11:11Lesnar still instinctively fighting his way up.
11:16Still suffering the effect of the low blow.
11:19And two stops.
11:20And third, a trifecta of stops.
11:24Cover by Rollins.
11:26Hook of the leg.
11:27Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion.
11:30Here is your winner, and the new Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.
11:41One of the most shocking moments in WrestleMania history.
11:46Seth Rollins claimed after WrestleMania everything changes.
11:51He may be right.
11:53Rollins can live up to that promise because in the shadow of New York City,
11:58Seth Rollins burned Suplex City down.
12:03Almost a look of disbelief in the eyes of Rollins.
12:11Yes, indeed, Seth.
12:12You are the brand new Universal Champion.
12:16Your dream has been realized tonight because the age of Rollins is here.
12:22Not for nothing, but Seth Rollins did have to use the low blow.
12:26Low blow on Brock Lesnar's field to achieve the Universal title here tonight.
12:30You're right, and I don't want to discount that, Renee, but let's be honest.
12:33Brock Lesnar jumped Seth Rollins before the match even began.
12:38And one man is left standing.
12:40Colin the Beast Slayer.
12:42Suplex City has been reduced to ashes.
12:45Well, this was the start of the match.
12:47An F5 to Seth Rollins by Brock Lesnar.
12:49Now, I say the start of the match, not official, however.
12:52The bell hadn't even rung yet at this point in time.
12:55The Beast Incarnate was all over the Challenger.
12:58Brutality was otherworldly.
13:00Seth Rollins unbelievably survived and was able to turn the situation around.
13:07Watch this here.
13:08The official was almost knocked down as he scooted out of the ring.
13:11Rollins went low.
13:12He took advantage of the situation, and then he would deliver one stop.
13:17But Lesnar would continue to battle, refusing to relent.
13:21A second stop from Seth Rollins would find the mark, but the Beast would not stay down.
13:27Finally, a third stop in the center of the ring, in the middle of MetLife Stadium.
13:35Seth Rollins dethrones Brock Lesnar and becomes the new Universal Champion.
13:42Indeed, one of the most shocking starts in WrestleMania history.
13:46Rollins holds the Universal title high.
13:47Corey, you've known Seth Rollins for such a long time.
14:02What a moment for this young man.
14:03I know that tonight meant everything in the world to Seth Rollins.
14:07He competed.
14:08He walked to that ring with over 80,000 screaming fans in his back.
14:13With the WWE Universe on his shoulders.
14:16With every man and woman in the locker room behind him to take back the championship that belongs on Monday night.
14:23Seth Rollins told Brock Lesnar, no one wants you in WWE.
14:30Brock Lesnar's strategy backfired.
14:33Brock Lesnar's strategy backfired.
